A/N: Sorry for the delay, but my job and school have kept me busy. However, today I got this out. It may seem rushed but to tell you the truth, the work that seems rush from me is the one I take days to do. This one took me around an hour. Hope you like it and I will respond to one of the reviews.

I appreciate the honesty of the reviewer by saying the power levels are too powerful. He also said that King Piccollo had Applejack's power level. Well? Wrong.

King Piccollo had a power level of around two hundred and fifty. And that is not counting how his power would skyrocket thanks to his ki attacks.

Also, this is a new, magic land. Caesar is going through slowly. Continuing, ponies are physically more powerful than humans. You will also see how powerful Celestia is in this chapter. Magically powerful beings in this plane should be on par with Dragon Ball characters. Dragon Ball Z? Nah, except maybe Princess Celestia.

In addition, the power levels will stay as they are, unless you people want them changed. I've only heard one complain, so I will not change them for now.

Now, on the Kais, well this is a new dimension, everything has changed. They are not the laughing stock like in Dragon Ball Z. As a matter of fact, the Supreme Kai is much more powerful than Frieza, who was recently killed by Bardock. He does have the power, thanks to the Supreme Being, to change time and stuff like that. I will also stand by that in my story too.

Well, you will also be in for a surprise. The poll will be closed down today. Readers have made a decision, and I am pleased to announce it at the end of this chapter.

Read and review! Enjoy.

Caesar raised an eyebrow, a calculating look on his eyes as he scanned the mare before him. The magical aura around her was strong indeed… He was impressed, but not by much. It was expected, after all. Princess Celestia only chose the best.

The colt grunted and nodded his head. "Pleased to meet you, Sparkle."

"Call me Twilight."

Princess Celestia smiled. "I will leave you two be for the afternoon, exchange greetings and then meet me tomorrow here, in the morning."

With that, the powerful ruler left.

As soon as she did so, Twilight's smile became a frown, which caught Caesar's attention. The atmosphere turned awkward almost instantly.

"I see you are the second apprentice of the Princess…"

Caesar smirked. Did he detect jealousy? Envy? Oh this was so amusing.

"While you are the magical apprentice, I was chosen for my battle skills, mare."

The mare in question raised an eyebrow. "So you will be training with my brother?"

At the colt's raised eyebrow and confused stare, Twilight blushed. "His name is Shining Armor."

So that was the moron's name. Caesar heard of him slightly. His father had mentioned the colt as a rising star in the ranks of the Equestrian Army. Future captain of the guard, some said too. Thundercolt also mentioned the fact that Shining Armor relied more on brute strength rather than cunning.

"I may have heard of him." Caesar replied with a cold voice.

Twilight's eyes lit up. "Yes, he is very strong! According to the Princess, he is the future captain of the guard."

"Indeed?" The young colt raised an eyebrow with a smirk. "I look forward to meeting him, then."

It was a lie, of course. Caesar was only interested in training under the Princess regarding his elemental abilities. That soldier moron would only be a liability in his training. Thundercolt had already provided more than the basics in military training. What Caesar needed was to further his elemental powers. Martial arts were already ingrained in him.

"You will." The mare took a seat and opened a book with her magic. "He is currently a drill trainer."

"Hn."

Caesar took a seat on the floor and closed his eyes. Now was the time for a little meditation episode to calm his mind and relax his body in case of training. He doubted it. The Princess was busy with her duties until the next day.

"So…" Twilight began once again after half an hour of silence. "You said you were training to be a warrior?"

"Much more than that, mare." Caesar countered, his eyes still closed.

"What kind of training will you take, then?"

Good heavens, this mare was noisy indeed. Caesar suppressed the urge to growl. Instead, he did not reply and continued to meditate. Feeling the mare's eyes on him still, he stood up and began to spar with his shadow.

His movements were fluid, almost like water. Flexible, calm but deadly.

Twilight's eyes widened. So, this was the second apprentice… Princess Celestia chose well. The colt continued his exercises for a good two hours before finally stopping and taking a seat.

Smirking at her direction, he said, "Enjoyed the show?"

The mare blushed scarlet and looked away, her book now becoming extremely interesting. Caesar chuckled, chose a book of his own, and began reading.

Less than ten minutes later, the door opened and in entered a well-built colt. His stance was that of a soldier, guarded and disciplined, ready for any attack.

Caesar turned from his book and looked him in the eyes with a calculating stare. The soldier had a white color on his fur, with a strong blue mane and a tough horn. His steely blue eyes stared right back at Caesar.

His cold eyes immediately warmed at Twilight's shout. "Brother!"

"My little sister." He smiled, turning from Caesar to the magical prodigy. "How are you doing today?"

"Good!" She smiled amusingly. "I just met Caesar Ironhoof, second apprentice of Princess Celestia."

Shining Armor turned again, and stared at the young colt. "Ah, the son of Thundercolt."

"Hn."

"I greatly respect your father, even though his leaving of the army brought shame to us all."

That comment made Caesar's eyes narrow dangerously. "Indeed? And I see you are the moron who is set to become the captain of the guard? Princess Celestia must be desperate for soldiers these days…"

After a few seconds, the whole room turned ice cold, with both colts staring daggers at each other, with Twilight awkwardly looking back and forth.

"Thundercolt was always a slacker." Shining Armor smirked. "Never did anything properly."

"And I suppose you are a great soldier?" Caesar snorted. "Please, you have the brain of a squirrel. Battle tactics and strategy don't suit you in the slightest."

The big soldier growled. "What your mouth, Ironhoof."

"Hit a nerve, didn't I? How amusing." Caesar chuckled darkly. "You are nothing more than a grunt in the army, a brute that does what his ruler decrees, nothing more."

Shockingly, after a few minutes of tension in the room, Shining Armor smiled warmly. "The Princess was right, you passed the test."

Caesar stared at him as if he had grown two heads. "Beg your pardon?"

"She was right about you, young one." Shining Armor bowed his head. "Your father was one of the greatest soldiers ever to walk in this castle, and he taught me many things."

"So, your insults and petty attitude was a ruse?"

The soldier nodded. "Yes, I was testing you. I was right, you are brave, smart and you have quite the sharp tongue."

At the silence of Caesar, Shining Armor smirked. "I really look forward to our sparring, Caesar. Being the son of Thundercolt places you very high on all of our standards."

With that, the unicorn soldier turned to his sister and smiled warmly. "As for you, good luck on your training, I am looking forward to see your progress, little sister."

Twilight blushed. "Of course, big brother."

Caesar could not help but roll his eyes at the disgustingly cute exchange.

"The Princess has deemed fit for you start training with us, to test your martial skills." Shining Armor declared. "Now, you will spar with my best young soldier, Gray Shield."

Caesar had woken up in the morning and resumed his meditation exercises only to be interrupted by a royal guard, informing him that Shining Armor was expecting him in the barracks of the castle. The young colt had expected the Princess to test him more first. And what better than to put him against her best soldier. Figures…

He knew he would lose against Shining Armor, the pony was powerful. However, Caesar kept thinking back at the time where he killed that wolf. Was rage a good enough weapon to use? Maybe, but that would destroy his other senses. It would turn him into a brawler, not a technical fighter.

As for Twilight, she departed to her own room to continue her magical training and attend classes. Caesar was going to receive that education from the Princess herself, starting next week.

"Heh, this runt? Are you serious, sir?" A grey earth pony snorted. "I can't believe he is the son of Thundercolt, I expected more."

Caesar just gave him a cold stare.

"And he is probably shivering out of fear at my sight."

The young apprentice could see that the arrogant pony's fur was gray, with a touch of red in his mane. His eyes were a mixture of blue and green. He certainly looked like somepony that had recently been vomited on. Obviously, his cutie mark was a shield with a spear at the side.

"Stop it, Gray." Shining Armor frowned. "I brought you here to teach Caesar, not to taunt him."

Gray Shield shrugged. "Whatever you say, boss." He then turned to Caesar, who had his eyes closed. "Ready, runt? Open your eyes, I want to see them as I give you the beating of your life."

Caesar growled low, his hooves firmly in place. His head was bowed down, horn glowing brightly. Blue energy slowly enveloped the colt.

The soldiers around stopped laughing and frowned at the sight. The young colt's horn started glowing blue, and the ground below him was cracking little by little. There were very, very small tremors going around that made the soldiers fearful of the sight. Some felt them and took a step back. Grey was either not impressed or did not notice the power radiating around.

Shining Armor's eyes widened. "Gray, stop! Stand down!"

But his soldier ignored the order, and soon charged at Caesar.

With a scream of rage, Caesar charged forward and punched Grey right in the chin, sending him flying back and crashing into another soldier. Shining Armor was set to stop it, but then Grey shot up, enraged. His face was bloodied and his nose broken. However, pride stopped him from standing down.

"You will pay for that, runt!"

Caesar's crazed, predatory smile was extremely terrifying. Shining felt a shiver going down his spine. "Good heavens…" He muttered, eyes fixed on Caesar as the pony once again was on all fours, the ground below him shaking very lightly.

Between the charge of Grey and the kick of Caesar, the battle was over. Grey Shield was out cold while Caesar menacingly mingled around, a feral grin showing on his face.

"Enough!" Shining screamed. "Caesar, snap out of it!"

With that, the young colt turned to him and his eyes softened. The future captain of the royal guard saw how the extreme coldness and wrath inside his eyes vanished in a heartbeat. Now, he was looking at normal Caesar. Cold, calculating, but also with a certain warm energy inside of him.

The soldiers took a back step as Caesar watched them. He frowned as he heard Grey moaning in pain.

He had felt the raw energy radiating around Caesar the moment he started growling. At that moment, he knew.

"The Princess was right…" Shining Armor was beyond shocked. "You really are an elemental warrior…"

Caesar smirked at the looks of sheer terror and respect the soldiers and royal guards gave him. Rumor around the castle had spread like wildfire. Princess Celestia had found an elemental warrior in Equestria, and now was under rigorous training. The young colt was so amused and energetic at the new setting.

Of course, that did not last long. The Princess had given him a disappointed look, her eyes sad. Despite his coldness, Caesar could be cracked by his parents, Applejack, Granny Smith and now Princess Celestia. He felt ashamed of his actions. Rumor was that Grey Shield was being treated, and was sporting a few broken ribs.

The whole staff was shocked too. Grey Shield, the best recruit of Shining Armor, was thoroughly beaten by a thirteen year old. The professional soldier was seventeen, but had been under fierce training since sixteen, when he joined the Royal Equestrian Defense Forces.

Twilight heard of the incident by her own brother's mouth. She was fearful and jumpy around Caesar now, more than ever. Caesar honestly did not care about her one bit, but once he imagined Applejack being the same, he would frown and feel ashamed.

Princess Celestia summoned Caesar to her quarters four hours after the short incident. Fear, shame and confusion reigned around the young colt. Will she expel him from the castle? Punish him dearly?

As he entered, his thoughts were interrupted and he stared in awe at the sheer beauty of the room. It was simply beautiful and enigmatic in its own way. It was almost humble, and simple. It moved Caesar how the Princess had no jewels, not even gold or silver, inside her own room.

"You are probably wondering why I do not have precious materials in my room, correct?" She asked with a small smile.

At his nod, she continued, "I do like them, the precious stones and materials I mean, but I think they would be better in foundations for the poor and disabled."

"That is… most excellent, majesty."

She smiled warmly. "I do wear gold and silver in me, but these I inherited from my parents, they are too personal for me to leave behind."

A minute of silence lingered in the air. The Princess gestured one of the chairs with her hoof. Caesar immediately obeyed and took a seat.

"I assume you know why you are here, young one?"

He hesitated but spoke slowly. "My altercation with one Grey Shield?"

"Precisely." The Princess frowned. "You were incredibly violent, and you showed amazing powers, yet very dangerous… especially under a rage."

So she noticed he was on a rage. Caesar's respect for the ruler grew ten fold. "How did you know I was on a rage?"

"Your eyes, young one." She bowed her head. "They were so cold, so… ruthless."

"Shining Armor may… have mentioned that."

"He was very impressed, Caesar, but also nervous." At his confused stare, she elaborated. "You just defeated his best recruit in less than a minute."

Caesar nodded, then said, "It won't happen again, my Princess."

She looked at him, warm eyes twinkling with curiosity. "You had a thought to make you enraged, right young one?"

His eyes widened. "Y-yes, my princess." How did she know? The soldiers thought he was enraged by the taunting. Even Shining Armor thought it was that, and had yelled an earful at Grey Shield in the infirmary.

"What was it?"

Caesar hesitated, his eyes on the floor. "Applejack being attacked by Grey Shield."

As soon as he looked at the Princess in the eye, he saw her eyes cold and calculating, but once she processed what he had said, her eyes softened.

"I see." She frowned. "I could tell you how much I abhor violence, Caesar, but you already know that."

He nodded, shame on his face.

"But I can also tell you that you impressed me too. You made small tremors as your power enveloped you. That is just the very, very tiny fraction of a full powered elemental warrior. "

She gave him a stern look then. "Finally, I will not tolerate that kind of violence inside my castle. You are a mature, gifted and polite young colt, act like it."

"I promise, your highness."

She smiled. "I know, and I also wanted to tell you, your studies begin next week, alongside Twilight."

That blasted mare? Caesar suppressed the urge to groan. "Will I be able to visit my family and friend this coming weekend, highness?"

"Of course." She smiled warmly. "I am so proud of you, young one."

Princess Celestia stood up and watched the moon with sad eyes. "Please remember, Caesar, that rage and wrath can only take you so far. In the end, you will be an insane, alone and dangerous pony, exiled from everypony."

Caesar frowned. "I will, my dear Princess."

For the next four years, Caesar and Twilight became good friends, but Applejack was still Caesar's best friend. He was amused at how territorial and jealous she had been when he had told her of Twilight. She demanded to know if they were good friends.

It was too amusing to let it pass, so the colt told her they were very good friends. Watching Applejack kick a tree to submission right after was worth it. Of course, when he had told her the real truth, that they were only study buddies, she smiled but then kicked him in the ribs, sending him flying to the barn.

Mares…. He would never understand them. One moment they are smiling, the other attacking. Blasted females…

Applejack had also continued with her training, sparring with her brother three days a week, something that impressed Caesar. He had felt how they both had grown in power.

Caesar knew that Big Mac was incredibly strong, but now more than ever. He was able to lift five times his weight. Applejack was also close, but the brother was still stronger.

It was easy to pull them apart by technique. Big Mac was mostly focused on close combat and brute force while Applejack was graceful, like Caesar, she moved like water and overpowered her opponents through speed and agility. She had already beaten Big Mac a couple of times.

As for Caesar, he had matured even more thanks to the Princess' teachings. He was well versed in subjects like science, magic and strategy. Shining Armor, while a great pony and friend, did not have the same thoughts on some things like Caesar. Both butted heads constantly, arguing back and forth, especially about strategy.

They had a good sibling like rivalry of sorts.

The best part of all, however, was the following. First, Caesar had mastered Andumaculai, the ancient form of martial arts and magic combined. Princess Celestia had beaten it into him, along with some of her best battle mages. Within a year and a half, Caesar had beaten them all in combat.

However, the Princess was so powerful. Caesar remembered how she sparred with him. He only lasted a fraction of a second. She vanished, the appeared behind him. Her hoof went to one of his pressure points softly, knocking him out completely.

He remembered when she showed him her true power. Well, some of it, at the least…

Flashback

They had departed to a land far away from the castle, where he requested to see her at full power. She frowned at his smile and almost morbid curiosity.

She smiled when he asked, "Please, I would like to see you at full power."

Nodding once, she replied, "Fine, but only at half of my power, alright?"

He nodded, too anxious to even notice what she had said.

Getting on an Andumaculai battle stance, she gritted her teeth. Once she began growling, Caesar's eyes widened as rocks slowly began ascending into the sky. Her hair was flowing along with the wind, making her more beautiful than ever, but in a menacing way too. The ground was shaking violently, almost like a full powered earthquake was going around them.

A huge crack opened, much to Caesar's shock, and all four of her hoofs went through the ground, as if they were hammers; bolts of electricity were going about her body, enveloping it as a sort of protection.

She screamed loudly as giant rocks cracked around and the wind increased. A thunderstorm began forming in the horizon, powerful sounds echoing in the distance. The sheer magnetic force was pushing Caesar back. If it wasn't for his own bravery and magical abilities, forming a shield around him, he would have been flying already at the powerful force crashing around.

Caesar gulped in fear. Now this was why he never stood a chance.

"Hah!" She yelled in finality. The rocks descended rapidly and the sky began to clear. In the horizon, the storm was nowhere to be seen now.

Princess Celestia smirked in his direction, her eyes full of mirth. "Was that a good show?"

He slowly nodded, eyes still wide.

End of Flashback

He knew he would never be as powerful as her, even if she had said numerous times that he could. He still trusted in his abilities, and now he trusted himself in besting Shining Armor in combat. Although poorly versed in magic, Shining Armor more than made a balance with his intelligence and brute force.

Twilight was also very, very strong, magically, of course. She was more powerful than him in terms of magic, but the mare was behind because of his martial arts expertise and the fact that he combined both magic and hoof to hoof combat.

However, the most important thing, was his elemental power. After more than a year, he was finally able to control it. Princess Celestia had been very, very patient. He was a fast learner, but it still took him a long time to be able to summon energy at will. Instead of depending on battle rages, he could now produce balls of energy at will.

This trick was humorous to produce in front of both Applejack and Rainbow Dash. The farm mare threw a fit and scowled at how she could not do that, jealous. On the other hoof, Rainbow Dash was impressed and demanded to know how to do it. Caesar replied with a scowl and a growl, much to the pegasus' annoyance.

Right now, he had gained a two month vacation, and he intended to use to it to the fullest by being close to Applejack. The mare had been incredibly clingy and prone to mood swings when she had heard of Twilight. The purple mare was in for a nasty surprise, it seemed.

There was bad news, however. Princess Celestia had ordered Twilight to move to Ponyville to start friendships with the locals so as to get rid of her solitary and exile kind of confinement. It was amusing how a person like him had more friends than the librarian magician.

He was a friend of hers, but plain normal friend, more of a classmate. Applejack was Caesar's true friend.

The only thing Caesar was looking forward to with Twilight's entrance to Ponyville was meeting her dragon apprentice, Spike. The young colt was always curious of dragons, and this one could solve some questions…

"Hey, dummy!" Applejack smiled at him. "Ah want to train."

Caesar smirked. "Prepared for a beating, mare?"

"Yah wish!"

With that, the best friends began sparring, albeit very cautiously as Caesar's parents and Granny Smith were there watching. They had all gathered to celebrate Caesar's return to Ponyville with a barbeque. Big Mac was watching his sister and adopted brother with a soft smile.

"Weak!"

"Shut up!"

Their antics were making everyone around laugh. Even at seventeen, they still behaved like the little fillies years before.

No one noticed, however, as a shadow in the corner of the barn watched, amused and interested. It smirked. So, the almighty Princess was arming herself with an elemental warrior? How amusing.

It was now time for her return. In a few weeks, Equestria will see her return in full glory, but not before defeating her sister and finally achieving what she always wanted.

"One and only throne." She whispered.

Not even the Elements of Harmony would be able to stop her. The elemental warrior could be a good apprentice. Maybe lure him to join her would be the best of decisions instead of getting rid of him. It would be such a bad decision to destroy the last of the true elemental warriors…

"Soon, justice shall be served." She chuckled quietly and finally vanished, her destination, the ancient castle. She needed to be at full power to defy her sister in order to destroy her.

Caesar had felt an incredible presence, but dismissed it rapidly. It only lasted less than a second. He shrugged and continued sparring with his best friend, who continuously asked about Twilight.

He suddenly smirked. "Do I detect jealousy, mare?" It was amusing how Applejack thought she would lose his friendship to Twilight, who got on his nerves frequently. Like he would ever betray her. He was too loyal to her for that.

Applejack's eyes widened, then soon narrowed as her nostrils flared. "What?!"

Silence lingered in the air as Caesar's eyes widened at the implication, the very deep of it. Both teenagers blushed all of a sudden.

"Why, do I see here a romance in the works?" Thundercolt smirked at his son. "Good job son! You choose wisely!"

If Applejack could blush more, she would be red tomato now. It was red scarlet, however. She immediately left towards the food table, with Caesar just standing there, completely caught off guard.

What was this funny feeling on his stomach?

He frowned. "Maybe I am just hungry." He muttered.

Caesar shrugged and went on to eat, stealing glances at Applejack, who had not looked him in the eyes since the incident.

"Hey, dear." Lilly smiled at her son. "Tell me more about Twilight, this new friend of yours."

Between the smirk of his mother and the obvious growl of Applejack, Caesar knew his mother was very cunning. Too much for her own good. Now he knew where he got that from. His father was a clueless moron compared to his mom. which was amusing to say the least.

He groaned in embarrassment.

Big Mac turned to him. "She is coming to the party."

"Why?" Applejack demanded. "Who invited her?"

"Us, of course." Granny Smith smiled. "Any friend of Caesar's is a friend of ours."

Applejack threw an icy glare at her own grandmother, then harrumphed, nose high in the air. "Hn."

If there was one thing that made Caesar smile was how adorable Applejack could be making grunting noises, especially those of his creation.

"Big Brother!" Somepony screamed.

Caesar's eyes softened and he let out a small smile. "Applebloom." He immediately caught the small mare. At five, she was getting stronger by the second. He was really proud.

"Have you been meditating?"

She nodded happily. "Yes."

Caesar smirked. "Have you been training?

"Yes." Applebloom smirked back.

Oh, she was indeed his sister. "Have you been winning?"

"'f course!"

"Excellent job." He nuzzled her face, making her giggle. "Come on, let us eat."

It was very rare, but also touching how Caesar could behave like this, but since Applebloom could talk, he was always there, or tried to, due to his training. Ever since then, she followed after him, and always wanted to imitate what he did.

As a result, she constantly trained, disapproved of laziness, approved of sparring and disliked Rainbow Dash. She also got in trouble more once for beating up Tiara and her friends. Of course, she was cunning enough to shift the blame after beating them the first time. Caesar threw an innocent look at Applejack when Applebloom had mentioned her plan.

"Hello!" A voice sounded, interrupting the thoughts of some.

Turning, Caesar frowned. "Twilight."

A soon as he said her name, a low growl sounded. Lilly's eyes widened. She recognized it almost immediately.

"Everypony, back off!"
