What's going on everypony, and welcome to the new re-write of Gohan and the Mane 6. In case you haven't read this fanfic before this has been edited/updated, since many of you have told me about the poor state of these chapters. So I decided to do a redux of this story and hopefully improve it greatly, but I guess only time can tell. So sit back and enjoy the new and improved story!
Chapter One: The Portal
Our story begins in Ponyville, it was a nice fall day and everypony was enjoying themselves. Rainbow Dash was working on some new aerial tricks, Pinkie Pie was cheerfully bouncing around singing about friendship, Rarity was busy finishing up some gorgeous dresses and Applejack was doing some chores. It seemed as if everypony was enjoying the nice day in their own way, which leads us to our pony of interest.
Twilight Sparkle was inside the Golden Oaks Library, preparing to preform a new spell. "Spike would you please find me 'Advanced Teleportation/Portal Spells' please?" She asked her dragon assistant as he grabbed a ladder and searched her many bookcases. Luckily for him Twilight kept her bookcases organized, so it would be easier to find the book in question. She had never attempted to create a portal before and wanted to try it out, but she was also a little unsure if she could do it or not. If she had been able to pull it off there would be no telling what kinds of things she could accomplish, she would probably also receive some fame for this feat... only a handful of ponies were ever able to create portals.
"Twilight I'm happy you're learning new spells but why do you need me?" Fluttershy was also there helping her out, she would have said no except Twilight said it was really important.
"Because I need somepony here for testing." She said with an enthusiastic look on her face. "And because our other friends were busy."
The shy pony sighed. "Okay." While she may have agreed she was mentally fearing the worst. The rest of her friends didn't really want to go through any portals, so they politely said no... it sounded pretty dangerous to them. Of course the last pony expected to help would be Fluttershy, but as previously stated she was doing it for a friend.
"I got it!" Spike yelled as he pulled the book off of the top shelf, but he pulled too hard and fell backwards off of the ladder. A small scream escaped his mouth as gravity brought him to the ground.
The two ponies walked over to the drake. "Are you alright Spike?" The pink maned mare asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine." He answered while rubbing his back.
The purple alicorn then used her magic to grab the book, she then began to look through it. A smile was plastered on her face as she flipped through the various pages of the book.
"So do you really think you will be able to travel to other worlds with this spell?" Spike asked curiously as he stood up.
The blue maned mare put a hoof to her chin. "Well I'm sure once I find the spell it won't be too hard to pull off." There was a hint of bragging in her voice as she continued to look through the book.
"Oh are you sure it's safe Twilight? What if there are scary monsters on the other side, or worse?!" The shy pegasus covered her eyes and fell to her knees, she didn't know what she had gotten herself into.
"Relax Fluttershy, I'm sure you will be safe." Twilight said trying to reassure her friend, but it was obvious that she was still a little scared.
"Okay... if you s-say so."
After a few minutes of searching she finally found the spell, and was ready to cast it. "Alright Fluttershy just stand there and the portal should open right in front of you." Twilight began casting, her horn was surrounded by magic. She was trying really hard to cast and it seemed like it wasn't work. The aura around her horn began to expand in size, and several grunts escaped the alicorn's mouth.
"Nothing's happening." Spike deadpanned, pointing out the obvious.
'Maybe I won't have to go through any portals after all.' The shy mare sighed in relief. While she did want to help out her friend, going on what could be a scary adventure was a bit too much for her. Luck seemed to be on her side though as her friend had yet to create a portal.
After a few moments a purple portal had opened up inside the library. "It worked!" Twilight shouted with excitement, as the trio watched the swirling gateway.
Both the dragon and the shy mare stood there speechless, their friend had just successfully created a portal! "You did it Twilight!" Her assistant praised after getting over his shock.
The yellow pegasus sighed. "Yay."
"Alright Fluttershy enter the portal, I'll create another portal as soon as I am ready and you can come back."
The mare was hesitant to go in, she just stood there shaking.
Seeing that she wasn't going to go in Spike pushed her into it. After the portal closed he looked over and noticed the purple pony glaring at him. "What? You wanted her to go in." He received an eye roll in response. "So where did you send Fluttershy anyway?" He asked, still amazed that the spell worked.
"I'm not sure, but luckily the new portal should lock onto Fluttershy's position and be able to find her."
"I didn't know portals worked like that." Spike replied sarcastically.
Now all they had to do was wait for Twilight to be able to make another. Making a portal takes a lot of magic, thus leaving the creator feeling a little drained afterwards. And seeing as how that was the first one the mare had ever created she used pretty much all of her magic power.
Five months have passed since the Cell games and the defeat of Cell, and life was returning to normal(or as normal as it could get). Gohan, the eleven year old boy who saved the earth from Cell. His mother; Chi Chi was out buying groceries so he thought it would be a good time to train. Chi Chi wanted her son to study but Gohan wanted to train, it helped him feel close to his deceased father Goku. Even though he didn't like fighting Gohan did enjoy the aspect of training, it wasn't all about strength there was some mental thinking that went into it. His father had told him many times that strength isn't everything in a fight, it is important but if you don't know how to use it than it's useless.
"I won't let you down dad, I'll keep training and defend the earth just like you." Whenever Gohan trained he would wear an outfit similar to his fathers. He started off by doing several different exercises, push-ups, sit-ups etc., and then move on to the more advanced stuff. He would start out by doing his katas, going through all of them. After that he would work on his fighting technique. Since it was normally by himself he was essentially just punching and kicking nothing, but it was still training. It wasn't as serious as when he was in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, but it was still better than nothing.
Gohan had been training for half an hour and was starting get serious, he picked up the pace and began working out at an even faster rate. He decided to kick things up a notch by becoming a Super Saiyan, it didn't take any effort because he trained the transformation to be as normal as breathing. There were times when he thought about mastering the next level of Super Saiyan(which he dubbed Super Saiyan 2), but he would hold off a little on that. He also thought about going to Capsule Corporation to get a gravity chamber. It was what Vegeta used during his training and seemed to lead to results... but he would have to make that trip later since his mother would be home soon.
Now as a Super Saiyan he was much faster and was fighting even quicker than before. Something else he wanted to do during his session was trying to learn some of the techniques his friends used. He had seen such a variety of moves, and there was no telling when they could come in handy. The half-Saiyan put two fingers on his forehead and started to concentrate, sparks flew out from his fingers as he began to charge up the attack. He remembered using this once during image training with Krillin, but he never tried it out afterwords, not even in battle. "Special Beam... Cannon!" He shouted as he fired Piccolo's signature attack into the sky. As the attack vanished the half-Saiyan smirked to himself as he was able to pull it off.
Right as he was about to continue his training when a purple portal opened up in the sky. 'What's that?' He thought to himself, all the while preparing to fight if need be. The Saiyan dropped down into his fighting stance, now just waiting for something to exit the gateway.
Out from the portal came a yellow pony with wings and a pink colored mane, the portal closed behind her and she fell to the ground. Either her wings didn't work, or she was too scared to fly. She laid their for a few moments shaking in fear, confusing the Saiyan. She eventually found the courage to open one of her eyes and saw some strange creature standing several feet from her... and she immediately closed her eyes afterwords.
Gohan didn't see it as a threat and powered down out of Super Saiyan, he then walked towards the pony with a smile on his face. "Hi I'm Gohan." He could tell that the pony looked really scared. It didn't want to open it's eyes at all, most likely due to being in the presence of mysterious creature. He stretched his hand out to help the pony to its feet, or hooves in this case. "Aw come on, don't be shy."
The pony opened one eye again and saw how friendly the thing was, and she realized if it wanted to harm her it could have done so already. Realizing the creature was friendly she was now going to try and introduce herself. She could have sworn he had blonde hair but brushed that thought aside. The hair color of the creature was the least of her worries at the moment. "I'm flu-flut..." The pony started to say.
The half-Saiyan looked at the pony with amazement, it could speak! Sure he had seen some humanoid like animals walking around, but never had he seen a talking pony. Despite his excitement he kept calm, the pony seemed really scared and he didn't to scare her further. "Don't worry I'm not going to hurt you, I promise." He waited patiently for the pony to introduce itself, but it appeared that even with his friendly approach it was still afraid. The young Saiyan only smiled, hoping to not only put it at ease but also encourage it to speak. "It's okay, you can tell me."
She looked up and saw the big smile plastered on his face, and seeing that friendly face made the mare finally start to relax. "M-my name's Fluttershy, i-it's nice to meet you." She stood up on all fours and looked around, and she couldn't help but wonder where she was. "Where am I?" She asked as she continued to observe her surroundings. There were a bunch of trees around and the nearby house reminded her of her cottage a little bit. All in all this place felt like Equestria, but she had a feeling that the rest of the world wasn't the same.
"This is earth, so where are you from?"
The yellow pegasus thought for a moment before she realized that her home was also called earth. "I'm from earth, at least I think it's called earth." The shy pony answered.
"Wow, I never knew there was another planet called earth out there. So is your planet like mine?"
It took her a bit to answer, she had never thought that there could be other planets. Twilight was always the one who studied that kind of stuff, but she never really discussed it with anypony else... mostly because they had never really shown any interest. "Yes it is, but we call it Equestria."
"Is everyone a pony there?" Gohan was intrigued by the idea of a planet full of talking ponies, he had known of only one other planet out there with a different kind of species on it. He was sure that there were other planets like that out there too.
"Yes... but what are you? I mean you're not a pony."
A small chuckle escaped his mouth. He wasn't laughing at her, but the idea of himself as a pony. "I'm a human, well half-human. I'm also half-Saiyan." He explained.
She already knew what humans were because of Twilight's adventure through the mirror. It was the other part that confused her. "What's a Saiyan?"
Gohan paused before giving his answer, he was unsure if Fluttershy would be able to handle his peoples history. After a few moments he decided to tell a sort of abridged version of it. "The Saiyans were a race of highly skilled warriors, but their planet was destroyed by an evil space tyrant... that was a long time ago." He left out the parts about how the Saiyans killed innocent people and enslaved planets. That bit of information seemed like a bit too much for the pony to handle, plus he didn't want her thinking that he was a monster like other Saiyans.
"So they were from another planet?" The yellow pegasus asked.
He nodded. "My father came here as a baby, he nearly escaped the planets destruction." He explained.
She was already pretty confused so she didn't ask any follow up questions. Fluttershy was starting to feel safe with Gohan around, she could tell that he was a nice guy. Before they could continue talking a rumble in the pony's stomach was heard, which made the young Saiyan chuckle lightly.
"You must be hungry, what kinds of things do ponies eat?" He had read at least a couple of books on horses, but he wasn't sure if magical talking ponies worked the same or not.
"Grass, hay, apples, but you don't have to feed me if you don't want to." Of course she wanted some food but it was just in her nature to be shy, she was used to being ignored by some ponies and not getting what she wanted. Plus she had just met him, it didn't really feel right to eat all of his food.
Gohan once again laughed. "You don't have to feel bad about taking some of my food, there's plenty inside." The two shared a smile as he led her into his house and grabbed some apples out of their fruit basket. With the apples in hand he proceeded to grab a plate. He set the plate in front of his new friend and placed the fruit upon it.
"Wow thanks Gohan, you're very nice."
The two of were hitting it off, but there was still some confusion on the Saiyan's end. "So how did you get here anyway?" Obviously he knew she came here via wormhole, but he was more curious as to how and why.
The pegasus took a break from eating to answer. "My friend Twilight Sparkle was practicing portal spells, and she created the portal that sent me here." Her explanation amazed him. "So do ponies here know magic?"
"No, but my friends and I are able to use energy, or ki."
Fluttershy looked at him confused. "Energy?" She didn't know what energy was. Part of her guessed it was similar to magic but she wasn't entirely sure.
He nodded. "It's kind of like magic, except a bit different." Gohan explained, only to receive a blank stare. He then thought it would be easier to show her. So he held out his palm, moments later a big ball of light appeared within it. He noticed a look of amazement on Fluttershy's face as he opened a window and threw the ball into the air. As soon as it was high enough in the sky he closed his hand, causing it to explode in a flash of light. Once the light settled he returned his focus towards his new friend. "That's just one thing I can do with my energy."
It took a few seconds to snap out of her daze, that was almost as impressive as the Sonic Rainboom. "Wow... that was amazing, I guess that is kind of like magic." They both shared a small laugh. After that the pink maned mare resumed eating the fruit given to her. She finished the last apple on her plate a few moments later.
"Do you want anything else to eat Fluttershy?"
She shook her head no. "No thank you, I'm actually pretty full."
"So how long are you going to be here?" Gohan asked, hoping she would be staying for a while. He thought she was very nice and polite, and just seemed like an all around good friend. So it only made sense that he wanted to spend more time with her.
"I'm not sure, Twilight said she would need some time before she can make another portal." She explained.
"Well until then you can stay here with me, I'm sure my mom won't mind." He received a smile in response.
During the waiting period they decided to start telling stories about their many adventures. Seeing as how the two were from completely different worlds it only made sense that they would want to get to know one another. "Wow that Cell sounds like a meanie." There was another thing they both had in common, they both would get angry if their friends were hurt or in danger.
The half-Saiyan nodded. "Yeah he enjoyed causing pain and tormenting the people of this planet, he was a monster and if I hadn't stopped him I'm sure he would have hurt more people!" He was getting angry at the thought of what Cell did/could have done if we has still alive.
"He reminds me of Discord, he didn't kill but he created chaos. He tried to drive me and my friends apart and rule Equestria... I'm just happy we were able to beat him and that he reformed."
While listening to her story Gohan was partially thinking about Cell, and in his rage he started powering up. The ground started to shake and she could feel gusts of wind blowing against her. Moments later his hair changed from black to gold, his eyes became teal and a golden flame surrounded his body. As Gohan clenched his fists he looked over and noticed his new friend was covering her face in fear. He quickly realized his anger took control for a second so he calmed down, letting his Super Saiyan strength fade, and make his hair and eyes return to normal. His aura vanished and so too did the shaking and the wind. "I'm sorry Fluttershy, I didn't mean to scare you like that."
Fluttershy's shaking started slowing down. "W-what happened t-to you?"
"I transformed into a Super Saiyan, my power, speed, strength and natural abilities increase greatly. It's a special kind of power that only Saiyans can achieve." He explained. He then caught sight of the three butterflies on her flank. He noticed she was still kind of scared so he figured that was a great way to change the subject. "Hey what's with those butterflies, is that a tattoo?"
Her fear instantly ceased and she giggled before giving her answer. "No it's my cutie mark, everypony gets one and it represents our special talents."
"So what does yours mean?" He asked.
"It means I'm good with animals." She explained which put a smile on her new friend's face.
After that Explanation the door opened, and a woman walked through the door holding bags of groceries. "Gohan I'm home, would you help bring in groceries." As soon as she walked into the house she noticed a yellow pony sitting at her table. "Who... who's your friend Gohan?" She asked, a look of shock on her face as she did so.
"Mom, this if my new friend Fluttershy. Fluttershy this is my mother; Chi Chi."
"Hello... it's nice to meet you, your son is very nice." The mare greeted.
Chi Chi nearly fainted when she heard the pony speak. "It can talk?" While she might have gotten used to seeing animals talk, this was the first time she came across a talking pony.
"Yeah she's from Equestria, it's a planet like ours but full of magical talking ponies."
Chi Chi looked from the pony and then back to her son. "I see..." Her brain was still trying to process all of this. "So how long is she here for?"
"Until her friend makes another portal back to her world." Her son told her.
At first she was shocked but she soon calmed down, the idea of a talking pony seemed better than some kind of monster or alien. "Well she's welcome to stay as long as she wants to."
"Thank you Chi Chi." She said.
With the introductions out of the way he went outside and helped his mother bring in the remaining groceries, and thanks to him helping it only took one trip.
"Thank you Gohan. Now why don't you go spend some time with your new friend before she has to leave?"
A big smile appeared on his face. "Thanks mom!" He stated as he and the pony ran outside. Once they were outside the half-Saiyan turned towards the mare. "So what do you want to do Fluttershy? I could show you around the planet if you want?"
She only wanted to stay with Gohan, she had no interest in exploring his world... well, she was curious but was also a little afraid. "No thanks, I'd much rather just stay here... if that's okay with you?" She asked shyly.
"Sure." He told her. "So how about I show you some more of my abilities?"
"Um, okay."
He smiled and then smirked. Considering she had wings Gohan could only assume she could fly, so he figured that he would show her that he too could fly. He stood in place for a few moments, and then a white aura erupted, engulfing his entire body. He glanced over and noticed her wide eyed expression, if she thought that was impressive than she was in for a real treat. The half-Saiyan then slowly started rising off the ground, shocking her even further. He then began soaring through the air, doing all kinds of aerial acrobatics.
The shy pony looked on in amazement. Her new friend was flying! To make matters better he was really fast, it was hard for her eyes to keep track of him. "Wow you're just as fast as my friend Rainbow Dash... maybe even faster." She complimented softly as he came in for a landing. "But how can you fly without wings?"
As he touched down on the grassy field he turned towards her. "I manipulate the ki inside of me to propel myself into the air." He explained.
"So could anypony do it?"
"I'm sure if they tried hard enough and practiced a lot they could."
Although she was having fun she was still wondering when the portal would appear. It wasn't that she wanted to leave, in fact she was hoping that it would take even longer to get home. Unfortunately, all good things had to end, and just like that the same purple portal appeared on the ground in front of her. The pony glanced over at the way home and sighed. "Well I guess I should be going," She said as Chi Chi came outside, having heard the portal open up. "it was so nice meeting you two." She waved goodbye to them.
"It was nice to meet you too Fluttershy." Chi Chi waved back.
Before the yellow mare walked into the portal she noticed the sad expression on the half-Saiyan's face. "What's wrong Gohan?" She asked.
"I want to go with you!" He yelled, shocking the other two.
"What do y-you mean go with me?"
"I want to visit Equestria and meet all of your friends, and spend more time with you." He explained making the pegasus smile. He then turned towards his mother. "Can I go with her mom, please?" He was a little unsure if his mother would agree considering how strict she could be sometimes.
"Well... you have been studying hard, and you did save the world... alright you can go, but I want you to do some studying while you're there. And please don't be gone for too long okay?"
Gohan was actually a little shocked, he didn't think his mom would have let him go. Despite his shock he decided it was best not to question it. "Wow you're the best mom ever!" He ran over and gave his mom a big hug.
"Just try not to get into any trouble." Chi Chi smirked.
"I won't, I promise." He nodded before entering the wormhole, with the shy pony entering shortly there after.
'Please come back soon.' Chi Chi thought to herself as she walked back into her house, it was going to be lonely by herself but she would manage. This wouldn't be the first time both her husband and son were gone for a while. A small sigh escaped her mouth as she entered her home.
This is the first chapter of the re-write and I plan on doing the same with the other chapters, I will also replace/remove certain chapters if I find it necessary, as well as add new chapters too! I am working on other fanfics too so don't expect regular updates, but there will be some. It should be exciting so stay tuned for more updates and peace out!
