Epilogue
It was a cold Fall day, the leaves had already changed colors and the annual Running of the Leaves would soon begin. Most of the ponies in Ponyville would be there, all except for one though. A teenage pegasus mare trotted down the path which lead to Ponyville’s local cemetery, she wore a Wonderbolts hoody and had the hood drawn up, her flank bore a lightning bolt cutie mark, its true meaning only obvious to those close to her.
The teenage mare entered the cemetery, her destination already known to her. The young teenage mare finally made it to the grave she was looking for, and upon it the headstone read: “Here lies Alula, a great friend, and wonderful little filly. Taken too soon from this world.”
“Ain’t that the truth,” said the mare as she drew back the hood, revealing her long and spiky purple mane. “Hey, Alula, it’s me again.”
Scootaloo lowered herself until she was lying on the ground, looking at the headstone with a combination of sadness and happiness. It had been a year since Alula’s death, and in that time there was a lack of activity from the Kingdom, most likely due to the madness Thorn Blackforest created, and had probably gone underground until they could figure out their next move.
“So, things have gotten not as crazy as I thought they would. I’m fourteen now, but I guess you already know that. Cheerilee -- er Mom’s gotten a little used to me being Shazam and all, although she was really ticked off that Twilight and I kept that secret from her for so long. Rainbow Dash’s finally been able to look me in the eye again, the whole…kissing you’re surrogate little sister thing was messed up, but we laugh it off now.”
Scootaloo sighed heavily as a tear fell down from her cheek. “I really miss you, Alula. There are days when I cry at night and just vent about how unfair it is that you’re not here, how you and me could be doing all kinds of stuff together!” A blush befell her cheeks. “Oh…and I found out about Aura’s -- ahem -- ‘stories’ about us, but that’s not what I meant about ‘stuff’ I swear!”
The orange mare looked up into the clear sky, sighing once again as her thoughts turned to more pleasant events. “Twilight finally asked Mom to marry her, and she said yes! Apparently we’re keeping it a secret from ‘Uncle’ Shining Armor because he apparently never told Twilight about when he was getting married until the very last second.” Scootaloo chuckled, remembering that conversation and the devious look in the alicorn mare’s eyes upon hatching the scheme.
“Anyway, it’ll be later in the year, but I can’t wait! I’m finally going to have a whole family! I love Cheerilee and Twilight a lot, and having Spike as a brother, and I can’t wait to start this new life with them!” Scootaloo’s lips curled into a pervy grin as a thought crossed her mind. “I think they might actually try to give me and Spike a little sibling, don’t ask how, but the Wisdom of Starswirl let’s me in on some otherwise ‘interesting’ spells.”
Scootlaoo’s ear perked up, hearing some cheering in the distance. The young teenage mare rose up and stood on her hooves, she looked towards the sounds and then back at the grave. “That reminds me, I enchanted this hoodie you had made for me, it’s pretty much indestructible, self-cleaning, and adjusts to my size as I grow. I barely have to take it off, it’ll always be my reminder of you, always. I gotta go cheer on Rainbow. I’ll talk to you later, Alula.”
The teenage mare began walking towards the entrance, but spared one last glance to her former lover’s grave before smiling sadly and proceeding on her way. However when she turned back Scootaloo accidentally smacked into somepony sending her falling to the ground.
“Ah, sorry, I wasn’t looking where I was going!” Scootaloo apologized.
“That’s quite alright, no harm done Ms. Scootaloo.”
Scootaloo looked up, wondering who it was she bumped into. Her suspicion faded when she saw who it was. A sandy brown earth pony stallion, with blue eyes, and a spiky, shaggy mane. The young mare knew this stallion, most of the ponies in Ponyville did, the local scientist and science enthusiast, Time Turner, or Doc as he was more well known as.
The Trottingham stallion offered a hoof to the young mare, which she accepted and allowed him to pull her up. “Thanks, did you come to see somepony?”
“Well yes, as a matter fact, I have.”
“Oh, then I’ll give you some privacy, sorry again,” said Scootaloo as she walked passed Doc.
“Actually, my dear, the pony I have come to see is you.”
Scootaloo’s ears twitched at the way he said that, she spun around quickly but wasn’t fast enough. From Doc’s trench coat, he pulled out a small device that had attached itself to his hoof. Doc pointed the device at Scootaloo’s face and a flash went off, making Scootaloo stumble backwards in a daze, she tried to collect her thoughts, but whatever the flash of light did it was making it hard for her to think. Drowsiness overtook mind, her muscles became weak as if she had gone through an intense workout.
“W-What did…did you do to me?!” Scootaloo asked weakly.
“I’m sorry, but explaining right now would take too long and there are others I must gather first,” said Doc.
“You…You won’t get away with-with this…! Sha…Sha…”
With those last words, Scootaloo fell into unconsciousness, the stallion quickly went to her and gently eased her to the ground. Once he was sure that the teenage mare was out he sighed in relief. The earth pony stallion brought up his left hoof and began speaking. “Gideon, bring the Storm Strider in and decloak.”
[I copy, Captain Turner. Storm Strider approaching. ]
A whirlwind kicked up around both Scootaloo and Doc. in the clearing to his right the air became distorted and wavy, After a minute, something appeared, a large blue metallic ship, with a glowing sphere spinning at the bow between two pincer like protrusions appeared out of nowhere. The ship came closer and opened a large cargo hatch.
“Well Equestria’s Mightiest Mare, your might is sorely needed.”

...... what the fuck was that?
7829006 Legends of Equestria.
7829015 Oh DUH. I'm such an idiot at times.
GAAAAAAAH ANOTHER CLIFFHANGER!!
Awesome story though!
I hae to say, this story was awesome!
I'm quite impressed with this. It had everything that a proper superhero story should have. Apart from a few flubs on the grammar.
Either way, with your boonus points, this story gets a 14/10 on the
itude meter, with;

It's a story that i'll be sharing! I wonder what will happen next? Don't leave us hanging for too long!
Well I see she is joining with the Legends of Tomorrow or what ever you are going to call them. So who else will be joining this rag tag group I wonder?
This was excellent. I cannot wait for the sequel.
Time Turner: Actually, I am about to invite you along to outer space.
If only Scootaloo knew that the Kingdom had been wiped out that fateful day.
Stormstrider, in keeping with the name of Captain Hunter's ship: Waverider.
down the path which lead to Ponyville’s local cemetery
kissing you’re surrogate little sister
Wisdom of Starswirl let’s me in on some
1. Led.
2. Your.
3. Lets, in this case.
I think Scootaloo and the mane six are going to have a "Legendary' experience.
HUZZA!!!I knew it!!! The moment discord said Legends in the chapter "what is found", i knew it had something to do with legends of tomorrow!!!
OK, sound like you got other ideas coming up. I try to find it went it does.
*sees complete status*
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
*sees "to be continued"*
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!
At least Rip Hunter was polite enough to ask before recruiting his team.
...Yeah he did it under false pretenses, but he still ASKED.
It's funny, cause in legends of tomorrow, Rip Hunter is played by Arthur Darvill, the same person who played Rory Williams, one of the 11th Doctor's companions.
7831248 Ha, I totally did not know that! Makes this all the more appropriate
7830134 Yeah, but how many times does the doc just ask?? Come on, it's the doctor.
7837159 Exactly
7830134 acutualy, he put them under, kidnapped them and then explained what was happening and than he asked
So this is about right
Also good chapter great story can't wait for the sequel
BDO out
7841335 second best superhero show of all time coming second to the Flash
Well, at least it won't throw in a Doctor Who xover as well...I assume, anyways.
7831249 I still wonder if the reason they got Darvill to play Rip was because he was experienced in time travel? also Malcolm Merlyn is now working with Damien Darkh and the Reverse-Flash, John Barrowman is back in the time traveling business, captain Jack Harkness is back
I have followed this story since chapter one, and it is only now that I realize that this is based on a comic and not an original concept and of itself.
I just bolted down the entire story in a few days, and i gotta say, i was really impressed: until the ending.
Its rare to see a MLP/anything crossover that actually works, and i don't mean has some cool ideas, i mean actually works as a story. The Bridge: A Godzilla/MLP crossover is my pick for high mark of that, but this story has a lot going for it.
The Shazam mythos has plenty of elements that fit in well with the MLP mythos, in particular making the ancient magic a part of equestrian history lets the modern alicorns being powerless fell natural rather than forced like in other fics (and even the show once or twice). It also maintains the original spirit of Shazam very well, the little kid with a tough life getting the powers of a god. The pacing in the first arc is very solid, and the emotions feel genuine (if a little melodramatic at times), and the humor is good.
Unfortunately: Project Erroria had, more than a few problems: in ascending order of how much they bothered me.
1. The pacing was slow in places, just compared to the first arc, this one was longer than it needed to be
2. The amount of ultimately meaningless side stuff, the foreign visitors had way to much time devoted to them for what amounted to introducing some new powers and a romance advice scene with Spike, the other Kingdom agent who was flirting with Thorn didn't amount to much in this story, Aura barely did anything, but the worst case was...
3. The Applebloom Babs Seed romance subplot contributed nothing to the main plot at all, heck Babs herself is almost useless too.
4. Thorn was a boring villain. After Adam made a strong showing as a power villain, i get going in the opposite direction for round two, but this didn't work. She was evil for evils sake, wasn't bombastic enough to be entertaining, wasn't creepy enough to be unnerving, she just existed so the plot could exist, her deciding to mercy kill Scootaloo was the only moment of interest she had.
5. Alula's death, unnecessarily mean spirited-ness aside, just clashes with the tone of the overall work. This story did NOT earn the right to have such a tragic ending, instead just using it for a cheap emotional gut punch. Especially given that the impact it ultimately has didn't need her to die at all. Alula had far more she could've done for the story alive rather than dead, Just an unbelievably bad note to end the story on.
Overall, i'm still giving this story a thumbs up, it was fun creative, and had some really good action in there, but the ending leaves me unsatisfied. Not sure if i'll read the "Legends" follow up, not only does it sound like i'd need to read a bunch of other fics, but legends wasn't very good show to begin with.
8125033 oh resorting to a 20 faced 3d shape?
Other wise known as a dungeons and dragons dice... I have that right don't I?
That's how I remember it
BD out
Edit just remembered 12 faces
Is it weird that every time I read through the lightning strikes arc, whenever Black Adam speaks, I read his lines in the Injustice 2 voice? Because that is how I picture him sounding.
With one magic word:
"TRARPFR!"
The magic of Twilight.
The speed of Rainbow Dash.
The strength of Applejack.
The generosity of Rarity.
The randomness of Pinkie Pie.
The kindness of Fluttershy.
8325288
Should have seen that one coming.
and yet I didn't.
Well..... it's interesting. I like the use of the Shazam elements and creativity of Scootaloo and Discord.
But there's alot here that is abit conflicting. Specifically the saying that Chaos and Harmony as opposites, they're not, even Discord has stated as such in the comics. Chaos and Order are the opposite of Harmony, as all Order would on its own is devoid of anything random, of growth or change. Same thing for Chaos, it would be random but with nothing to challenge it to truly grow or change. Harmony is the balanced power of the two and they're opposite.
And I noticed a real dedication to the lesbian dating elements, nothing against it mind you, but it seemed like the story was avoiding traditional dating rather harshly. As I said, just something I noticed.
Though I am wondering on a few things, such as why use so many elements from other media? Was it just to make references or just to fill in stuff for the plot?
Speaking of plot, I'd say the funniest thing to the whole story was Celestia and Philomena's jabs at each other! XD That was priceless! XD
9116177
Same!
Just watched the Shazam movie a few days ago, and I can't help but look back at how this Fanfic introduced me and made me an instant fan of Shazam, it was the first time I've read a story about Shazam, kinda cool that it all started from reading one extremely well-made Fanfic
Any idea when the sequel will be starting?
This story was a ride, I loved the action scene’s and the pacing of the story. The child romance did bother me like a lot but I managed to power through by it focusing on the more action pack chapters or just thinking of it as kid love. Nothing dirty or wrong about that, the partial incest With AB and Babs though really did bug me like I know You were going for kitty love but blood should not mix with blood it’s weird and kinda gross. An adult should of been there to talk them out of that path so they can find someone else, and there’s always someone else. Other then that I loved everything else about this story especially the ending it made me cry and opened up a route that delivered a powerful line.
Okay, this is the weirdest thing ever. On the cover art, Scootaloo looks almost identical to my first OC. (if she wasn't wearing the outfit, then...she would be exactly the same.
)
