The return and what happened next
"Welcome" greeted Princess Celestia.
Gohan, Videl, the Cutie Mark Crusaders and the Mane 6 bowed to the Princess.
"So you finally found us a way back home" asked Videl very excited.
"Yes" said Luna. "It was very simple; all we have to do is cast a simple spell on you, but amplifying it with combining the power of the Elements of Harmony with my power and my sister's"
"Which spell?" asked Twilight.
"A simple spell designed to send lost travelers back to their homes" explained Celestia. "Luna suggested it could be useful to send our guests back to their dimension"
After a few minutes of silence, Fluttershy hugged the warriors crying. "We're gonna miss you guys"
"Yeah, you became a very important part of our lives" said the fillies joining to the hug.
One by one their friends were joining the group hug in tears. Rainbow Dash tried to resist but the feeling finally won and she had to cry with the rest of them.
Applejack cleared her tears and smiled weakly at them"There's a room in Sweet Apple Acres for you if you want to visit us someday; our farm won't be the same without the two of you. And I'm sure Big Mac and granny Smith will missing you as well"
"And we never found what was faster; if wings or Ki" said Rainbow trying to control herself. Gohan smiled to the pegasus. "In fact, you're faster than us Miss Rainbow Dash; the difference is we can maintain our speed for much more longer"
Videl smiled a little. "Gohan is the number one in our class"
Twilight smiled too. "I supposed he was; after all he was a very dedicated reader. I'm gonna miss you so much in the library"
Pinkie Pie bounced around them a little. "And remember, I'll have you tons of cupcakes waiting for you in Sugar Cube Corner every time you decide to visit us again; just don't forgive us"
"And when you feel bored about the superhero outfits I made for you, come to me and I'll make you one even better" said Rarity.
Gohan cried a little too so as Videl. "We had great experiences here in Equestria thanks to you friends" said the young saiyan.
"We could never forgive you, you made a mark into our hearts" added Videl.
After looking at the scene, Luna saw at her sister, who nodded and brought a book with the spell on it. Celestia stared at the Mane 6.
"Please everypony took your Elements and get ready; we're going to need all the magic power we have. Are you ready?"
The six friends nodded and prepared the Elements.
"Gohan, Videl, one step forward please" asked Luna.
They obeyed.
The Princesses and the Mane 6 took a deep breath and concentrated all they had. Just when they arrived to Equestria, a warm light surrounded the warriors and felt how this light penetrated into their hearths looking for the memories they had to find their way home. Then the Princesses shot a powerful lightning from their horns to an empty wall. The light became stronger but nopony cared. Then suddenly they were into a complete different place.
"Are you all right?" asked Princess Celestia.
"Just fine Princess" said Twilight happily looking around her.
They were in a kind of reunion of strange creatures, bipedal with hair only in their head with fingers and wearing strange outfits. Judging by the shapes and sizes of the bodies there were four men (one of them was green), two women and two little boys. Fluttershy was fascinated; but were them? By their way Gohan and Videl couldn't believe it; they were finally home.
And suddenly, the light surrounded them again transforming their bodies; making them taller to fit the bipedal form; having fingers again and their tails vanishing. Everypony was stunned; what in Equestria was happening to their friends? By their way the Princesses shared a look of complicity.
When the transformation was over, Gohan looked at his family.
"Well… hi. Sorry for disappearing and worry you all; but we're finally here"
"Yeah; you don't know how happy we are for see you all again" said Videl smiling.
After a few seconds of silence, one of the little boys ran to Gohan.
"IT'S MY BROTHER! MY BROTHER IS BACK!"
Gohan hugged his brother with tears in his eyes.
"Goten! I missed you so much!"
One of the women started crying too and ran to hug Gohan too.
"My little Gohan is back! Oh, I was so worried about you; you don't know how much we have being looking for you! Precisely we were going to summon Shen Long to bring you back home!"
Videl saw at one men with long curly hair and a brown Gi. She started crying too and ran to hug him. ran to his daughter, crying.
"It's Videl! My little girl Videl! I'm so happy for having you again my dear Videl!"
The green man only moved his head a little. "You look good Gohan"
"Thanks, you too Mr. Piccolo"
Piccolo made a faint smile while Gohan put his hand in his son's shoulder and hugged him. "Is good to have you back son"
"Thanks dad; is good being back"
The Son family made a close hug really happy for having their oldest son back; so as and Videl. Then, one man with spiky hair pulled Gohan out of the group hug and screamed at him
"YOU GOD DAMN BUG! CAN YOU TELL US WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU ALL THIS TIME?"
Gohan smiled shyly and pointed his pony friends so as the small portal than appeared when they casted the spell. "You probably won't believe me, Mr. Vegeta but we were at Equestria, the magical land of ponies"
The man pushed him to the ground and after looking at the ponies for half second, he screamed to Gohan again. "SO YOU'RE TELLING ME WHILE WE WERE PLAYING DUMB COLLECTING THE DRAGON BALL YOU TWO WERE HAVING FUN WITH A BUNCH OF LITTLE GIRL'S TOYS?"
Gohan only nodded nervously. Then Vegeta mumbles something and flew away.
"Where are you going now?" asked a blue haired woman with a red dress.
"Out of here" shouted Vegeta angrily.
They looked at Vegeta and Bulma only smiled. "Well, that shows how worried about you Vegeta was. Is good to have you again, Gohan"
"Thanks Bulma"
The Goku called his son's attention shaking him a little. "Are you going to introduce us or what Gohan?"
Gohan quickly moved to his pony friends. "Oh, sorry; family, friends, let me introduce you the friend Videl and I made during our adventure in Equestria. This is Miss Twilight Sparkle"
"Well, hello" said the purple unicorn.
"Miss Rainobw Dash,"
"The best flyer in the world" announced the pegasus
"Miss Rarity,"
"My pleasure, " said Rarity making a lady-like pose.
"Miss Pinkie Pie,"
"Ya-ho!" said happily the pink pony bouncing around.
"Miss Fluttershy,"
She only nodded shyly.
"Miss Applejack who gave us food, shelter and work,"
"Howdy ya'll"
"And Apple Bloom, Miss Applejack's little sister; Sweetie Belle, Miss Rarity's little sister and Scootaloo. They all asked me to train them in martial arts and I have to say they're really good"
"Hi!" shouted the Crusaders.
"And finally Princesses Luna and Celestia, rulers of Equestria. They were helping us looking for the spell to bring us back home"
Both Princesses made a japanese-style reverence. Chi-chi approached and bowed too.
"Thank you for bring me back my dear Gohan"
"No problem, your son is a wonderful person and a great friend. Help him was our pleasure" said Princess Celestia.
Sweetie Belle approached to Princess Luna. "Princess, why Mr. Gohan and Ms. Videl were the only ones who turned into that strange creatures?"
"That's because this is how they originally look like" said Luna with a warm smile. "But now they're in their home, they can go back to normal"
Gohan petted his student's head. "I'm going to miss the three of you more than anypony else. Videl and I are leaving you now but we taught you enough to keep training only by yourselves. I hope you keep your hard work"
The girls smiled and hugged their masters.
Videl kissed each one forehead. "Keep training; be sure one of this days we're going back to Ponyville to see how strong you become"
Applejack winked an eye to them. "And be sure when you come back, your barn will be waiting for you"
Gohan nodded and then he pulled Goten to the group. "Thank you Miss Applejack. Now let me introduce you my family and friends: this is my little brother Goten; you already met my mother Chi-chi; my father Goku; my master Mr. Piccolo; Bulma and her son Trunks (who mastered the Fusion along with my little brother) and the man who left was Mr. Vegeta.
"And this is my dad, the world champion" said Videl introducing .
The man made one of his famous poses, making Pinkie laugh lodly. "Well, now I know where Gohan get his ideas for his Saiyaman poses, this man is awesome!
All the Son family started to laugh with the pink pony. Suddenly, Twilight noticed something. "Princess, how much time we have until the portal closes?"
"Don't worry my faithful student, it will last at least an hour and a half because all of the power we used to create it"
"Enough time to tell us exactly what happened!" said Goku.
All agreed, so Gohan and Videl started telling all what happened since the strange light moved them to Equestria, to how the Princesses managed to send them back home. Sometimes the ponies added details from their point of view. Goku felt really proud of his son when they told them how he trained the Cutie Mark Crusaders and how Videl and him were amazing martial arts teachers; so as Chi-chi felt proud when Applejack assured they were excellent workers and the most faithful ponies she ever met. But Then they came to the part about Discord and how he was easily defeated by Gohan in the Budokai Tenkaichi; and about Trixie's and King Sombra's attack to Ponyville.
"All of this is great" observed Goku, "but isn't dangerous to leave just like that when two powerful enemies are looking for Gohan? I mean, those creatures can come and create a huge chaos only to attract Gohan but he won't be there anymore"
The Princess Luna nodded. "In Equestria we use to manage thing enemies differently from here; and to seal Discord and King Sombra we would use the Elements of Harmony instead of violence. And, without a Gohan to manipulate, Discord doesn't have anything to defend himself from the Elements.
"But still…" said Goku thinking.
"I doesn't matter, Goku" said Piccolo. "Everyone deal with their problems at their own way. Besides I don't think that so called monster come here looking from Gohan"
Then Goten jumped to his brother's knee.
"And if he dares to come here, Trunks and I will beat him just as you did"
All the ponies saw the children in awe; when the sky suddenly turned darker. Great unnatural pink clouds started covering all the sky and started to rain a kind of weird brown colored liquid.
"It's chocolate milk!" announced Goten amazed, after tasting it.
Pinkie Pie screamed in joy and opened her mouth to catch the precious liquid. Gohan quickly started looking all over waiting to the monster to show up; so as Videl and the rest of the ponies.
"So you and your little friend think you can beat me as easily as your brother" said Discord appearing in front all of his opponents. "Well, that's a strong possibility so I decided to bring some help"
King Sombra appeared as well in his cloud of pure darkness. Discord smirked at Gohan. "So that's how you really look like, Saiyaman. Or do you prefer Gohan? Well, I don't really care. What is important now is thanks to you and Celestia's stupidity now I can create pure Chaos in two worlds instead of one; a personal record"
"What are you talking about, you monster?" screamed Gohan.
"Sombra, would you do the honors?" asked Disord.
The dark unicorn's magic attacked the Princesses' portal that started to shoot energy to all over the place and vanish.
"Ey you, that's enough! It's time to teach you some manners" grumped Goten and Trunks flying to King Sombra.
Sombra decided to save time and effort with them and surrounded the two kids with his dark fog. Then they started to scream in pure horror pleasing King Sombra.
"Stop it!" yelled Celestia.
The unicorn only started laughing even loudly, throwing away the unconscious kids. Rainbow Dash and Goku quickly saved them from the falling.
"Dad…"
"Goten, stay in a safe place. I should take care of this" said Goku angrily placing his younger son in the ground. No one messes with his family.
Then he launched himself ready to put King Sombra in his place.
"Dad, wait, there something you need t know!" tried to warn Gohan, but it was too late.
Goku was already front to front with King Sombra who protected himself with his dark magic aura. Goku was ready to use his powers to eliminate the two menaces but something happened stopping him instantly. Sombra used his dark power to look into Goku's hearth and use his greater fear to stop him from attacking him. And just as his son, Goku started to scream in pure horror looking what Sombra settled for him.
"DAD!" screamed Gohan flying to his father.
A dark magic explotion sent him out of the place. Discord finally made the portal collapse and the devastation expanded as the powerful explosion that knocked out Gohan. Z warriors and ponies had to duck to evade the power of the devastation.
The earth started to change drastically; and Celestia felt how the magic protection she placed to her kingdom started to wreck to the power of the villains. It was time to Sombra make his move; making giant dark crystal towers appearing in the middle of all the places. Luna screamed and with her power she protected at least the mountain Paoz.
Discord was about to attack her but Sombra wisely stopped the monster. "It's only one place; we can take care of it later, we still have a lot to do"
Discord nodded and flew after his ally.
…
Gohan opened his eyes with difficulty. Looking all over he quickly found he was in his room. When he sat he saw at his parents and pony friends looking at him concernly.
"Are you all right, son?" asked Chi-chi worried.
"What happened?" asked Gohan.
Twilight shook her head sadly. "We lowered our guard and we paid for it; we trusted those two won't approach the castle and don't think in a method to protect the portal from them. And now they somehow mixed our two worlds. The Princess' protection in Equestria couldn't resist the magic and you know the rest… King Sombra took his chance"
Gohan free his aura furiously. "I only knew Sombra from Miss Twilight's stories but…"
"It wasn't your fault, son" said Goku calmly. "You wanted to warn me about his magic but still I only wanted to fight"
Gohan sighed and Twilight saw Goku sadly. "King Sombra has the power to make us live our greater fears. That's why you couldn't approach"
Goku lowered his head. "That explains it. For a minute I saw Chi-chi, Gohan, Goten, Vegeta, Bulma… all the people I love, killed… by me. I turned into a monster finally; a true saiyan"
Gotten hugged his dad. "He made Trunks and I remember the day we couldn't protect all of you from Super Boo. That was horrible and…"
Pinkie Pie smiled. "Sombra and Discord won because they worked together. That's what we have to do, working together to get rid of those two!"
Gohan nodded. "Miss Pinkie Pie is right. That's the only way.
"But first we have to know exactly what we're dealing with" said Piccolo angrily looking at the ponies. "Please, can you tell us exactly what those two can do?"
Celestia nodded staring at Gohan.
"Fair enough, but you also have to explain us all about this world. Not secrets this time, am I being clear, Gohan?"
"I agree…"
I promised you, more action this time. Oh, the final battle is about to start; I hope you're ready for it. The only thing I have to say now is:
Read ya later!
