[Short Story Inspiration]
What's the DEAL with the past? Imagine living in another world, away from your problems, but then you whine about the problems you just left behind!? WHAT!? WHY!? You are in a magical world where the basic concept of friendship is being studied! And you want to cry to them about how you got bullied in a world you will never return to?
I laugh
HA-HA-HA!
But seriously, how does all of that leads to you knowing how to use the Kamehameha?
[Chapter 6: A Heroic Daily Life 2/2]
While the events in Ponyville are transpiring, we move over to Canterlot Castle. In the throne room, Spike and Celestia look over the stained glass that oddly enough, has not changed since Galaxy's arrival. All of the important events in Equestria are still intact, unaffected by the changes in time. The little dragon never stops being in awe, seeing how events that never happened are still remembered by the castle walls. This room gives hope to the ones aware of this cursed fate, hope that things could go back to normal.
Spike: That glass shows the time I rescue the Crystal Empire... You know, when I say it like that, it sounds like I didn't needed anypony's help...
Celestia: But that's the thing Spike. No pony could have done it alone. That's why Twilight entrusted the Crystal Heart to you when she couldn't go any further.
Spike: Yeah... to bad it didn't happen...
Ironically, most of the images in every stained glass are about things they've lost. Celestia was a bit worried she might have brought regret in the mind of the small dragon. But to her surprise, Spike wasn't showing any signs of being bothered. In fact, he was happy...
Spike: How hasn't Galaxy noticed the walls? WHAT AN IDIOT! AAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Celestia: It's ok to cry Spike, we lost a lot...
Spike: But not everything Princess Celestia. And as long as I have you, Luna, and Lapis, I will never cry again!
Spike can be a bit stubborn at times. But after he gave up pursuing Twilight's attention, he's been more accepting of his emotions. In experiencing life without the things one most values, Spike was forced to reexamine how crucial those things really are. It is not to say Twilight, Discord, and Thorax were not important to him. Is just that lingering on their memory's is holding him back from what truly matters.
It is a shame that even though Spike understands this, there is still one pony who refuses to move on. In a funny twist of fate, it isn't Galaxy, but a stallion once known to be the husband of the Princess of Love. Celestia now starts to look at the stained glass depicting the events of Cadence and Shining Armor's wedding. Her eyes show a hint of pity the more she keeps on staring.
Celestia: (We might need to deal with that later...) Spike, do you know where's Luna?
Spike: She's been with Lapis ever since that letter fiasco. But if I had to guess where, they're probably in...
[Middle of the 4th day: 26 days remaining]
In the castle garden, the young filly and moon princess walked over to a gazebo near some statues. As they sit down, some guards that were walking around glance at them before continuing their march. Some seem confused, while others whisper to each other. This was enough for Lapistoria to bring up a topic.
Lapistoria: Yesterday, a guard came up to me and said he doesn't remember when I got invited to the castle. When I told him I was here since summer, he didn't believe me.
Luna: If I remember correctly, it was spring yesterday as well. By this point you should know that seasons don't always change. Sometimes it stays the same for a while, although it might change tomorrow.
With the momentum is already being set in motion, Luna got the chance to talk about some other things. Specifically about Lapistoria's passion and ambitions. It doesn't have anything to do with her objective to defeat Galaxy, rather what she truly wants to do in life. Luna stared at the filly's cutiemark, which was a tree representing all four seasons. She then changed the subject to something related to that, but not precisely her cutiemark.
Luna: I never got to say this, but do you like seasons?
Lapistoria: More than anypony in Equestria!
Luna: Wait you do!? Why don't you ever talk about it? Seasons change almost every day!
Lapistoria: Is just that... most ponies only like one season. Let's say I put four different types of apples on a plate: Golden Delicious, Braeburn, Ambrosia, and Granny Smith. When I say to somepony that I love all of them equally, they often reply with; "Personally, I prefer THIS apple."
The pegasus filly got up and walked over to a patch of flowers that had a Rose Bush in it. Princess Luna followed afterwards to continue talking with her. The alicorn found a major flaw with the way Lapistoria talked about her interest. But as she was about to say it to her, she got interrupted by the continuation of Lapistoria's analogy.
Lapistoria: Princess Luna, is there a flower you love and hate?
Luna: Oh... well...? I love Lavender, and hate Sunflowers... Why did you ask?
Lapistoria: Is nothing... I just love Sunflowers, and hate Roses...
Luna: !!!
Lapistoria: Is ok to love one thing more than another. Believing somepony is capable of loving all things is just a selfish thought of mine... Just like my love for seasons...
There was no need for Luna to speak anymore, she was perplexed though. Is Lapistoria aware that she's now being a hypocrite? It doesn't take a genius to know that she does, the little filly's face looks a bit flustered.
Lapistoria: Y-Yeah I know... I took back what I said. I'm a dodumbo...
Princess Luna did not answer, instead she pat the young filly's mane with her wing. Both mane and wing were soft for them, making this gesture of kindness a bit awkward when Luna didn't stop for a while. Regardless, when she did, Lapistoria felt much more better about herself. Especially when the princess was willing to keep on talking.
Luna: Let's talk about seasons... all of them.
Lapistoria: Thank you Princess Luna!
As they were heading back to sit down, a surge of power started to be felt in the air. Princess Luna didn't seem to notice this sudden burst of raw power, but Lapistoria surely does. The pegasus stop abruptly to the surprise of Luna, to then look frantically around for the origin of this power.
Luna: Lapistoria? is something the matter?
Lapistoria: Are you serious!? you're really not feeling that thing?
Luna: What exactly?
Lapistoria: That *WOSH* thingy! I can feel something in the air! I really don't know how to describe it? But it feels like-
Before she could finish, a second stronger wave impacted the sky. This one was felt not only by Luna, but all Royal Guards in the castle. The ones that were nearby got close to Princess Luna in order to protect her, while Lapistoria soar into the sky to find the thing that is causing all this. It didn't took long for her to find it, what place could it be other than the so called peaceful town of Ponyville. Even the princess herself already knew where it was, and who did it.
Luna: (There goes Galaxy again, he must be playing either poker, or golf if he's exerting that much energy. Then again, that amount of power must be compatible to a single grain of salt by his standards.)
The moon princess looks up on the sky where Lapistoria is flying, and wonders to herself how she was able to predict the power surge. There is one reason why, but to assume that's the case is to say that something has awaken inside Lapistoria. Princess Luna flies up, disregarding the assistance of her guards, and accompany the filly in the sky.
Luna: (Someday I'll talk to her about this.)
Back again in the town of Ponyville, amazing things have already happened. By the Castle of Friendship, Galaxy's outburst of power called out all of the protagonist. All of the element bearers were in complete astonishment at the powers Galaxy is utilizing on this battle/(race). At first he started with the Sharingan, but now he's now using something on top of that.
Galaxy's aura was electrifying, making his long red mane spike up in the pattern of lightning. This ability is a Nen Hatsu called: Godspeed. A Transmutation ability used for speed, and to exceed the reaction limitations of his body. This power belongs to Killua form the Hunter X Hunter series.
Applejack: What in tarnation is happening over here!?
Twilight: I don't know... Galaxy is using powers I've never even seen before!
Galaxy: It's called Godspeed. I'll teach you all about it later, but for now there's still some powers I want to use.
Everypony: THERE'S STILL MORE!?
For his 3rd and 4th powers, he summon two legendary swords from the heavens above. Once they descended to Galaxy's side, the speed in which they travel manage to split the sky asunder! These two swords are: the True Monado, and Ten Commandments from the Xenoblade Chronicles game, and Rave Master series respectively.
It was incredible how Galaxy manage to invoke these weapons, but there's just a small issue which Twilight pointed out...
Twilight: Why do you need swords for a race?
Galaxy: For the speed Twilight, I want more SPEED! The Monado is equipped with Quick Step VI, Agility VI, and Haste VI Gems, on top of having the Monado Art 疾 (Speed). As for the Ten Commandments, I got the thing it needs right here.
In the palm of his hoof, Galaxy materialize a light blue cross shaped item, and immediately inserted into a slot the sword has. The sword then turned into a completely different shape. From his default form Eisenmeteor, it transformed into The Sonic Sword: Silfarion. This is the 3rd form of the Ten Commandments, and it grants immense speed along side reduced weight.
Fluttershy: It looks beautiful...
Rarity: Fluttershy is right dear! To think swords could have such an artistic flare to them. Simply looking at them makes Royal Guard weapons look like sticks and stones!
Pinkie Pie: What does it do? This is so much FUN!!!
Galaxy: To put it in simple words, it just grants me more speed. Silfarion and Eisenmeteor aren't the only forms this sword can take. With this Rave Stone it can turn into eight more different forms.
Rainbow Dash: That is so cool! it almost make me forget we were suppose to race!
Galaxy: Then warm up while you still can, cause I'm not done yet!
Now for the grand finally, his 5th and 6th powers are going to be simple ones. If his Sharingan rely on Chakra, and Godspeed rely on Nen, the next power on line should rely on Ki. This is it, the iconic technique often viewed as a transformation to most of the DBZ community. It is the one and only...
Galaxy: KAIOKEN X1,000,000,000!!!
His 5th power is Kaioken, and ho boy this is a drastic improvement. There isn't even a proper way to measure the speed he'll reach. The amount of power he's exerting can be felt even in space! But that doesn't matter as long as everypony that is witnessing this acknowledge his outstanding array of powers.
Galaxy: Now for my final power, I call forward... THE CHAOS EMERALDS!!!
As if the excitement could not get any higher, Galaxy pulls out of thin air seven different colored gems known as: The Chaos Emeralds. But these weren't some normal Chaos Emeralds, far from it. These were evolved versions created from the power of the Master Emerald. Which means they come from the specific game in the series: Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Knuckles.
Galaxy: Twilight, Fluttershy, Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash! What you're all about to see is not my pinnacle, but the final form I'll take. HYPER SONIC!!!
Proclaiming his transformation out loud, the Chaos Emeralds merge with his body. His mane and coat turned into a beautiful color changing splendor, as his power and speed increased to a level that cannot be imagined.
Rainbow Dash: THAT'S THE MOST COOLEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN!!!
Twilight: With those powers, it is hard to imagine ourselves struggling against a villain! Oh Galaxy! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!
Galaxy: (Oh shit! What the fuck am I doing!? I just remembered that I was doing this race to be in a relationship with Rainbow Dash!) Pinkie! I'm now ready, start the count down.
Pinkie Pie: Alrighty! And remember Rainbow, if you don't finish this race within 1:30 seconds, Galaxy will win! THIS IS SO EXCITING!!! COUNT DOWN TIME!!!
After so long, Pinkie Pie is now initiating the count down for the race. When Pinkie Pie stood in front of the pegasus and alicorn, It can be seen how the concepts of logic, reason, and balance are relaxing in a tropical island while neglecting to do their job. It makes you wonder "How many speeds of light is Galaxy equivalent to?" to then realize that the answer is "all of them."
Rainbow Dash compared to Galaxy is like seeing a biblically accurate angel compete against a chicken with osteoporosis.
Pinkie Pie: Here I go...!

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
With adrenaline pumping in her blood, Rainbow Initiated the race with an amazing start, while Galaxy stood there like he said he would. The remainder of the girls are not even cheering, they just stare at Galaxy's godly form as they wait for Rainbow Dash. Galaxy didn't want to stay here in silence until Rainbow was on sight, so he began talking about a thing he was going to do on this race.
Galaxy: Twilight, remember when we talked about the world of One Piece?
Twilight: Yes, we talked about it when I brought up the power you used to save us when we met. What was it called...? Haki?
Galaxy: Correct Twilight, but I'm not going to use that here. Instead I'm going to use this technique Luffy uses on Gear 2nd. The Rokushiki Technique: Soru.
Twilight: Rokushiki...? Soru...?
Galaxy: This technique is used by taping the ground ten times in an instant. It allows me to accelerate faster than the eye can see. But since I'm using Godspeed, Monado 疾, Silfarion, Kaioken, and Hyper Sonic, this speed will be enough to send me to the end of the universe in less than a zeptosecond.
Astonishment once again can be seen in the faces of the girls. They can only imagine how many times he would have finished this race by now, and even doing so proved to be impossible. There are less atoms in the universe than the amount of times Galaxy finished this race. The speed of light to him is soo slow, that it's practically not moving.
After a while, Rainbow Dash seems to be almost about done with this race. But time is of the essence, she only has five seconds to finish.
Applejack: THERE SHE IS!!!
Fluttershy: Is she going to make it?
Pinkie Pie: I think she is! GO RAINBOW DASH!!!
Galaxy: (Sorry Rainbow, you're just to slow... LAMAO XD) STAR PLATINUM: ZA WARUDO!!!
Before Rainbow Dash could even get close enough to finish, Galaxy summon one of the most famous Stands in the JOJO's Bizarre Adventure series: Star Platinum. Apart from having other "miscellaneous abilities" it has the ability to stop time for two seconds. However, this version of Star Platinum belongs to Galaxy, so the time has been expanded to ten whole seconds. This is when Galaxy began his sprint, or better say... ended...
Before the previous paragraph was written, Galaxy had already won the race. Now he's showing off by doing it all over again until Star Platinum's time runs out.
Ten seconds have passed, and yet The World is still active. How could this be? You see, Galaxy is going at a speed that cannot be imagined. The reason Galaxy stopped time was so that his speed won't send him traveling to the past. He is going so fast, he's literally TIME TRAVELING IN FROZEN TIME!!! By this point, The World has expanded to over Quattuorvigintillion years due to the time he's gaining. That number is so big, it's obvious that the author of this story had to look it up!
An hour has passed, and Galaxy feels ready to stop now. With a feeling of satisfaction brimming out of that shit eating grin, he called off Star Platinum's "The World" ability as he crossed the finish line for the infinite time. Galaxy made sure to put a barrier around Ponyville, because his speed might cause a tornado to happen.
And it did
All of the girls became astonish once again when they saw that massive tornado. To think Galaxy was capable of doing that on his own. It didn't matter anyways since Galaxy knows "generic elemental magic." With it he manage to erase that tornado out of existence, and save Ponyville from his own speed. The girls calmed down, and approach Galaxy with excitement and relief.
Pinkie Pie: THAT WAS AWESOME!!!
Fluttershy: Congratulations Galaxy!
Applejack: Howdy sugar cube, that was some race. You were as fast as lightning there hun!
Rarity: What a severe understatement Applejack! Galaxy was as fast as a radiant streak of light!
Twilight: Of course you girls would assume that, not knowing what a zeptosecond is...
Rainbow Dash: And you think we want to know? You're such an egg head Twilight!
Galaxy: (Shoud I faint right now? I think that would be cool. Oh! but I still got that bet with Rainbow... Oof, choices... huh... I did use less than 1% of my power. I think it's a good time to tell them that the rings around my hooves aren't for show. In fact, they seal my powers unless I'm using less that 1%. Which is the equivalent of using 0% of my powers... Nah! SCREW THIS!) Hey girls, mind if I talk to Rainbow privately? We got to discuss about our bet.
Respecting his wish, the remainder of the girls decided to talk about the race in the castle. Once they've entered, Galaxy in this instant deactivated all of the powers he stacked, and return to his base state. Now that he's back to normal, he can talk to Rainbow Dash in a more calmer demeanor.
Galaxy: Rainbow, let's fly to your house. My bet is related to it.
Rainbow Dash: Can you at least say it to me before we go? I wasn't showing it, but I was extremely curious about your part of the bet. It isn't something embarrassing right?
Oh well, it's the least he could do for her. There's no point in keeping the secret any longer. Who knows, this might encourage her to go with him much faster. Galaxy took a look at the Castle door to make sure no pony was spying on them. After confirming so, Galaxy approach Rainbow Dash with a serene look on his face.
He got close to her ear in such a seductive way, that Rainbow Dash could not do anything other than to let him do as he wish. He blew on her ear softly, making the pegasus horny at the lewd gesture. And once that last move was put into place, Galaxy finally whisper into her ear the bet he never said.
"Rainbow Dash... I want to have sex with you"
Operation: Speed of Love (Success)
