The Prince of all Saiyans. The land of Equestria. Two worlds, completely different. How would they react if they came together?
A short, slim, well-built man was lying on a pool-side chair, staring upwards into the sky. He wore a dark grey, long-sleeved jumpsuit, with white boots and gloves. A special armor piece covered his torso, and his hair was tall and spiky.
This was Vegeta, the Prince of all Saiyans. While the title had lost meaning after a while, with only three full-blooded saiyans remaining in the universe, Vegeta still felt pride in his title.
Normally, Vegeta would have been training, or trying to find his friend/rival Son Goku, and challenge him to a fight, but as of late, these had become mundane, boring tasks. Sighing, the prince sat up, surveying the poolside for his wife.
Finding no sign of her, he sighed, before standing up, making his way to her lab. Stepping inside the building, Vegeta looked around, before putting a hand to his mouth. "Bulma? Are you there?" Vegeta shouted, still looking around the room.
A woman with bright blue hair and eyes came from around the side of a strange device. Wearing a white tank-top, a red bandanna, jeans, and cowgirl boots, Bulma Briefs glared at Vegeta.
"What is it now? I'm busy!" she said, turning back to her machine.
"Where's the dragon radar? I have a certain wish I want to make," Vegeta replied, wandering over to her.
"It's over on the shelf over there," Bulma said, gesturing to a wall. Vegeta turned with a smirk, before making his way over to it.
"Thank you, dear. Now, where is Trunks?" Vegeta asked, glancing at her.
"He's at Gohan's house, babysitting Pan," Bulma said, not turning to look at him.
"I see. Well, let him know I'll be back soon," Vegeta replied, giving her a small wave.
"Wait, back from where?" Bulma asked, turning towards the door, before it shut, Vegeta ignoring her question.
"I don't know where. Anywhere, I don't care. Just as long as it has something, anything, going on," Vegeta thought, as he stared down at the dragon radar.
Stepping outside, Vegeta took to the air, flying high into the sky. Activating the circular radar, Vegeta smirked.
"Good. There's a dragon ball relatively close by," the prince though, as he rocketed towards it.
Vegeta sat the final golden orb down, the other six beginning to glow along side it. With a smirk, Vegeta took a few steps backwards.
"Eternal Dragon, arise and grant my wish!" Vegeta said, as the Dragon Balls glowed brighter, before a bright flash shone, a large dragon appearing in front of Vegeta.
"I am the Eternal Dragon Shenron! Speak your wish so I may return to my slumber!" Shenron said, staring down at Vegeta with his red, glowing eyes.
"Alright, listen up. I'm bored, so I want you to find a random planet or dimension, anything I don't care. Just send me somewhere that will allow me to enjoy myself," Vegeta said, grinning up at the dragon.
"It is beyond my power to do such as task as a two-way trip. If I fulfill this wish, you will be stuck in whatever realm you end up in," Shenron warned.
"I'm sure Kakarot will use the Dragon Balls to get me back here. Go ahead, I don't care," Vegeta replied.
"Alright then. As you wish!" Shenron said, his eyes glowing brighter, before a pink and purple vortex opened, sparkles falling off the portal.
"You're kidding, right? That's the portal? I was expecting a giant hole in space, not this," Vegeta said, shaking his head. "Alright, whatever. I guess this can't be too bad. It's not like it's a bunch of pastel colored ponies, or anything.", Vegeta said, stepping into the portal.
"Actually, it is a bunch of…. hello? Did you leave already? Hmph, fine then. YOUR WISH HAS BEEN GRANTED!" Shenron shouted, before the vortex closed, the dragon balls scattering across the Earth.
The breeze was blowing, the birds were chirping. The empty field was bustling with woodland life, as the different animals raced back and forth. Suddenly, a giant vortex, purple and pink in color, appeared, a tall figure stepping out of the vortex. His tall black hair shined in the light, and his expression was one of disappointment.
"This? This is the place where I'm suppose to entertain me? It looks like Earth!" Vegeta said, glaring down at the animals. "Even the animals are the same. Hey, dragon! You mes-" Vegeta started to say, turning back towards the portal, when the vortex shut, trapping Vegeta.
"Right. I almost forgot. I'm stuck here until Kakarot or Bulma uses the dragon radar to….." Vegeta said, reaching into his pocket, pulling out the dragon radar. "God damnit."
Glancing around, Vegeta sighed, before trying to sense something around. "That's odd. I can't feel any ki sources. Only this strange source of energy, one that keeps flickering in and out of my senses," Vegeta thought, a look of confusion on his face.
Taking to the air, Vegeta surveyed the area, noticing a small town nearby. "Guess that's my best bet as to finding out where the hell I've ended up," Vegeta thought aloud, before using his speed to dart over towards the town.
Slamming the door open, a purple unicorn with a dark purple main and tail, a lighter purple and pink streak running down the hair, walked into her house, trying frantically to find the book she was looking for. A light pink star, with smaller, white stars, lay on both sides of her upper hind legs.
Her assistant, a short, purple dragon with green, rounded spikes stared at her, turning his head to follow her.
"Um, Twilight, you ok?" the dragon asked.
"Just fine, Spike. I just need to find my book," Twilight Sparkle replied.
"What book?" Spike asked, watching as she ran from one side of the building to another, pulling books off the shelves with her magic.
"The one containing the story about the Elements of Harmony," Twilight replied, flipping through the pages as she tossed books to the side frantically.
"Didn't Princess Celestia say not to worry about Nightmare Moon? It's just an old mare's tale," Spike replied.
"Old mare's tale? Spike, the prophecy said that Nightmare Moon would return after 1,000 years of banishment! It's the one thousandth anniversary this year!" Twilight said, giving the dragon a small glare before returning to her books.
"I know, I know, it's just th-" Spike began to say, before he burped, green fire coming out of his mouth, as a scroll appeared.
"Oh, a letter from Princess Celestia. Maybe she has something about Nightmare Moon she wanted to tell me!" Twilight said, using her magic to pick the scroll.
"My dearest, most faithful student, Twilight, you know that I value your diligence, and that I trust you completely. But you simply must stop reading those dusty old books. My dear Twilight, there is more to a young pony's life than studying. So I'm sending you to supervise the preparations for the Summer Sun Celebration in this year's location, Ponyville. And I have an even more essential task for you to complete. Make some friends. Yours truly, Princess Celestia," the letter read.
"See, I told you," Spike said, earning another glare from Twilight.
"This can't be right. I'm sure that we need to act, otherwise Nightmare Moon will return," Twilight replied.
Spike gave her a disappointed look, before burping once more, a letter appearing. Picking, it up, Spike began to read it. "My dearest Twilight, during your stay in Ponyville, the Mayor has given you full access of the library."
"A library? This is perfect! Come on, we need to hurry, and check on the preperations. The library will be the perfect place to investigate more on Nightmare Moon!" Twilight said, running out the door. Spike sighed, as he followed her.
Vegeta sighed, as he landed on the edge of the town, staring down it's streets. The buildings were almost a foot taller then Goku. Each door only came up to Vegeta's shoulders, the saiyan staring in shock.
"How can anyone be this small? I mean, besides Kakarot's bald friend, Krillin," Vegeta thought, as he made his way through the village.
Surveying the town, Vegeta came to a stop when something jumped in front of him. Getting into his fighting stance, Vegeta glared at his attacker.
"Hi there! I'm Pinkie Pie! What's your name?", a pink pony asked. Her mane and tail resembled cotton candy, colored a darker shade of pink then her coat. Three balloons appear on her upper hind legs, two blue, one yellow. She was as tall as Vegeta's waist.
"The hell are you?" Vegeta asked, staring down at Pinkie, very confused.
"The hell are you? That's a weird name," Pinkie replied, laughing.
"No, I'm asking what you are! My name is Vegeta!" Vegeta replied, clenching his fist. "Now stop mocking me and answer the question!"
"I'm not mocking you, I'm saying hello. And I'm an Earth Pony!" Pinkie replied.
"Earth…..pony?" Vegeta asked, a sense of dread falling over him.
"Yep! Well, it was nice to meet you, Mr. Vegeta!" Pinkie said, waving to him, before bouncing away. Vegeta watched her, before staring at his hands, clenching his fists.
"When I get home, that dragon is going to pay for this!" the prince thought, glaring at his hands, before turning as several other ponies gasped, noticing him.
"What are you looking at?" Vegeta cried out, glaring at them, before leaping into the air, flying upwards into the sky.
Sighing, Vegeta continued to fly upwards, before he reached the edge of the atmosphere. Turning around, he stared down at the planet below him.
"This isn't Earth. This isn't Namek. This isn't even Vegeta! Where the hell did the dragon send me?" Vegeta thought, glaring down at the ground.
"Well, I did say just send me anywhere. I guess this is my fault, somewhat. Although, did Shenron have to pick this planet, of all places?" Vegeta asked, sighing. Glancing at the moon, Vegeta's jaw dropped when it began to move on it's own, as if being controlled.
Sighing, Vegeta closed his eyes. "I WANT TO GO HOME!" he shouted, a white aura surrounding him as he powered up in rage. Vegeta darted towards the planet, not paying attention.
Twilight stared at the mountainside, sighing. "I'm going to miss not seeing Shining Armor everyday," she thought.
"Come on Twilight, cheer up! The Princess arranged for you to stay in the library! Doesn't that make you a little happy?" Spike asked. Before she could answer, the guards pulling the chariot swerved, as Vegeta almost ran right into them. Twilight turned, staring at him, and the two made eye contact.
Vegeta glared at her, shaking his fist. "Watch where your flying!" he said, turning away for a second, before turning to stare in confusion at the chariot.
"What is he?", Twilight asked herself.
"What are they?" Vegeta asked, before shaking his head. "Alternate world full of talking ponies, remember?" he said to himself, before floating downwards, landing near a lake. Vegeta turned, and stared into the crystal clear water, watching his reflection.
"I have got to figure out how to get home. I can't wait for Bulma to rebuild the radar, and find the dragon balls," Vegeta said, sighing. Turning towards the town, Vegeta sighed. "Guess I should find a place to stay while I'm stuck here, he said, cursing himself for thinking that.
Vegeta started walking towards the town, watching as the sun slowly began to sink in the sky.
Vegeta had returned to the town, the pink pony he had met earlier appearing very happy that he had returned. Sighing, he had been following her for a while now, and wasn't too happy when she had him sit quietly in the dark library, waiting for the new pony that had arrived earlier to enter.
After they surprised the pony he had almost crashed into in the sky, the pink pony had begun a party, and Vegeta had managed to catch a few more names, although very begrudgingly.
There was Rainbow Dash, a sky blue pegasus, with a rainbow-colored mane and tail, and a image of a storm cloud, three lightning bolts of different colors on her upper hind legs.
There was Applejack, an orange earth pony, that had the image of an apple on her hind legs. Her mane and tail were yellow, and she wore a cowboy hat.
Another pegasus was Fluttershy, an extremely shy pony that seemed to be afraid of him. She was a light yellow, with a pink mane. The image of three blue butterflies, with pink wings, sat on her hind legs.
The final pony was Rarity, a white unicorn with a curly, purple mane and tail. On her hind legs were three little pictures of diamonds.
Vegeta sighed, bored. "I swear, if something interesting doesn't happen in the next few minutes, I'm going to shout!" he thought, before Pinkie ran over to him.
"Come on, Vegeta!" she said, grinning at him.
Vegeta sighed, rolling his eyes. "And where are we going, exactly?" he asked.
"To watch the sun rise, silly," Pinkie replied, giggling. Vegeta glared at her, but reluctantly followed. "It's better then nothing," he thought.
Following the pink party pony, Vegeta stared at the building he was being lead to. It was a circular, office-like building, which appeared much smaller on the outside then it truly was.
Vegeta stood in the very back of the room, staring out the window at the moon. Dozens of ponies crowded the building, and the saiyan was starting to reach his limit on the amount of kindness they were showing.
Pinkie suddenly ran off, standing next to the unicorn from earlier. "Twilight Sprinkle, or something?" he thought, before returning his focus to the moon.
Only half listening, Vegeta growled softly as the bird chorus began to sing. "Because that's obviously a thing in this weird, upside down world!"
"Fillies and Gentlecoats," a pony with a tan coat of fur, and a light grey mane and tail began. She wore glasses, and had a collar around her neck. A scroll with a ribbon tied around it appeared on her hind legs.
"As Mayor of Ponyville, it is my great pleasure to announce the beginning of the Summer Sun Celebration!" the Mayor said, as the ponies filling the room began to cheer loudly.
"In just a few moments, our town will witness the magic of the sunrise and celebrate this, the longest day of the year," the mayor continued.
"It's just a sunrise! The moon is more interesting then that. Speaking of the moon, why is there a pony made out of craters on it? It's really weird. Oh god, don't tell me everything in this world is based around these ponies," Vegeta thought, continue to stare at the moon.
"And now, it is my great honor to introduce to you the ruler of our land," the Mayor continued, as the Pony-shaped crater formation vanished from the moon.
"What the hell? How is that…. oh right… magic…. but wait, why did that happen?" Vegeta asked himself, turning towards the Mayor, hoping to get some answers.
"The very pony who gives us the sun and the moon each and every day. The good, the wise, the bringer of Harmony to all of Equestria."
"Blah blah blah. Oh Kami, this is so boring!" Vegeta thought, quietly groaning.
"Princess Celestia!" the mayor concluded, gesturing to a balcony above her, the curtains moving to reveal… nothing. No one was standing there.
"This can't be good," Vegeta heard Twilight say, as he got off of the wall he was leaning on, slightly interested.
"Remain calm, everypony," the mayor said, as the crowd began to murmur to itself. "There must be a reasonable explanation."
"Ooh, ooh! I love guessing games!", Pinkie said, turning towards Twilight.
"She's gone!" Rarity said, coming from the room behind the balcony. The ponies in the crowd gasped, some turning to look in suspicion at Vegeta.
Suddenly, Pinkie screamed, as a blue, sparkling cloud appeared in the balcony, before forming into a tall, pure black pony. She wore light blue armor, and she bore both a horn and wings. Her mane and tail were made of the blue, sparkly cloud. A dark purple area with a present moon picture was present on her hind legs.
"Oh, my beloved subjects. It's been so long since I've seen your precious little, sun-loving faces," the tall being said.
"What did you do with our princess?" Rainbow asked, glaring at her.
The tall pony laughed, before grinning down at her. "Why? Am I not royal enough for you? Don't you know who I am?" she asked.
"Don't really care, but I'm sure you're going to tell us.", Vegeta thought.
"Does my crown no longer count now that I have been imprisoned for 1,000 years? Did you not recall the legend? Did you not see the signs?" she asked.
"Not that I really care, but will you stop being so mysterious? I want to skip right to the part where I beat you," Vegeta replied, the alicorn turning towards him.
"Now you're a creature I wasn't expecting to see. Who are you?" she asked.
"The name's Vegeta, and I'm the prince of all saiyans. And you?" Vegeta asked, smirking at her.
"I'm N-" she began, before being interrupted.
"You're the Mare in the Moon. Nightmare Moon," Twilight said, glaring up at her. The crowd gasped, staring in slight fear at Nightmare Moon.
"Well, well, well. Some pony who remembers me. Then you also know why I'm here," Nightmare Moon said.
"Well.. um.. You're here to…. to.." Twilight said, seeming scared to reveal what she knew.
Nightmare Moon laughed, grinning down at the ponies. "Remember this day, little ponies, for it was your last."
"Well, that's kinda dark," Vegeta thought, glaring at her.
"From this moment forth, the night will last forever!" Nightmare Moon continued.
"Wait, that's it? That's your big plan? Eternal night? Are you kidding me?" Vegeta asked, the tall pony turning towards him.
"Excuse me, but you better watch your tone, Prince.", Nightmare Moon threatened, glaring at him.
"Or else what? You'll sparkle me to death? Oh, I'm so scared."
"Seize her! Only she knows where the Princess is!" the mayor suddenly said, pointing a hoof at her.
"You're kidding, right? She appeared out of sparkling smoke, how are you going to seize her?" Vegeta asked.
Three pony guards flew at Nightmare Moon, before the Alicorn's eyes began to glow, lighting crackling from her mane, before she turned entirely into mist, flying out of the room.
Rainbow Dash charged out of the room, flying after the blue smoke, panting as it escaped. "Nighttime… forever?" she asked herself, before turning towards the main building, watching as Twilight ran off towards the library.
Vegeta did the same, staring after Twilight. "She knows something. And I'm going to find out what it is," he thought, smirking.
A few minutes later, Twilight was searching through her books, trying to find a certain topic.
"Elements, elements, elements. Ugh! How can I stop Nightmare Moon without the Elements of Harmony?" she asked, before Rainbow flew right at her, getting right in her face.
"And just what are the Elements of Harmony?" the pegasus asked. "And how did you know about Nightmare Moon, huh? Are you a spy? WOAH!" Rainbow shouted, as Applejack pulled her away.
"Simmer down, Sally," Applejack said. "She ain't no spy."
"If she was a spy, then why would she be looking for the device to DEFEAT Nightmare Moon?" Vegeta asked, glaring at Rainbow.
"Exactly. But, she sure knows what's going on," the orange horse said, agreeing with him.
"Why the hell am I defending a purple unicorn, in this weird multi-colored world? Am I really that desperate for some action, that I'm willing to help these….. creatures, just to get a good fight?" Vegeta though to himself.
"Don't you, Twilight," Applejack concluded, bringing the saiyan back to reality.
Twilight glanced between the five ponies and Vegeta, before sighing. "I read all about the prediction of Nightmare Moon. Some mysterious objects called the Elements of Harmony are the only things that can stop her," Twilight explained.
"Not true," Vegeta replied.
"Excuse me?" Twilight asked.
"I can defeat her. Just find her, and I'll deal with that crazed pony in an instant," he replied.
"I seriously doubt that. The elements are the only objects. But I don't know what they are, where to find them. I don't even know what they do," Twilight said.
"Um, create harmony? The name kinda expl-" Vegeta began to say, before Pinkie interrupted.
"'The Elements of Harmony: A Reference Guide.'," the pink pony said, reading the book's title.
"How did you find that?" Twilight asked, shoving the party pony to the side.
"It was under 'E'," Pinkie sang, hopping along.
"Oh," Twilight replied. "Why didn't I think of that?" she thought, before using her magic to pull the book off the shelf.
"There are six Elements of Harmony, but only five are known. Kindness, laughter, generosity, honesty, and loyalty. The sixth is a complete mystery. It is said that the last-known location of the five elements was in the ancient castle of the Royal Pony Sisters. It is located in what is now-"
"The Everfree Forest?" the six ponies shouted in unison.
"I'm guessing this forest is a bad thing?" Vegeta asked.
"It is a very, very bad thing! How have you not heard of this place?" Rainbow asked, turning towards him.
"I'm not from around here," Vegeta replied.
"Whee! Let's go!" Pinkie said.
"I feel like your going to somehow get me hurt," Vegeta said, glaring at her.
"Why's that?" Twilight asked.
"I have a habit of getting hurt saving idiots," he replied, earning a small glare from the unicorn.
"Anyways, not so fast. Look, I appreciate the offer, but I'd really rather do this on my own," Twilight said.
"Well, I'd really rather not be stuck here, so you don't have a choice. I'm coming with you," Vegeta replied.
"Why? You barely know me.", Twilight asked.
"It's not to save you. I'm bored, and if this place is as dangerous as you ponies say it is, then I'm bound to find a decent fight somewhere in there," the saiyan replied, cracking his knuckles.
"No can do over here, Sugar Cube," Applejack suddenly said.
"You mean me, or her?" Vegeta asked, pointing at Twilight.
"Her. Now, we sure ain't letting any friend of ours go into that creepy place alone. We're sticking to you like caramel on a candy apple," the orange earth pony said.
"Mmm-hmm! Especially if there's candy apples in there," Pinkie said, as the five ponies entered the woods.
Twilight sighed, Vegeta turning towards her. "I know how you feel. I had to put up with unneeded help for years," he said, before walking into the forest, Twilight following close behind him.
Thus begins the adventures of the Saiyan of Equestria.
