//------------------------------// // Heroes Coming Together Part 1 // Story: Super Friends of Equestria // by cornholio4 //------------------------------// In Ponyville the Pegasus known as Rainbow Dash was up in a cloud in a red flight suit she had gotten, a while ago she had attempted a Sonic Rainboom and got hit by lightning while saving Scootaloo. Because of that accident her speed was deeply increased and she decided to become a superhero called the Dash! Not only that but she discovered Scootaloo’s speed had been increased as well in the accident. Now she was on a cloud with Scootaloo in a flight suit similar to hers only colored yellow. “Okay Scootaloo follow me and do what I do, got it!” Dashed asked Scootaloo and she nodded excitedly. Dash then flew around Ponyville several times with Scootaloo not that far behind, Scootaloo even managed to make some bullies picking on a filly to fall down into a pile of mud causing the filly to laugh at her tormentors. Soon they were back on the cloud and Dash patted Scootaloo softly on the head with her hoove and told her “good job Scoots, keep it up and you might even be my sidekick...Kid Dash!!!” Scootaloo felt excited at the thought as she flew back to her house. Dash then flew back down to Ponyville and then saw something strange starting to happen. Suddenly pony shaped shadows with bright yellow eyes began coming out of the ground and started attacking the buildings and ponies around them. Dash smirked at the monsters as she then shouted out at them “let me show you what I have got, you stupid creatures!!!” She then went and kicked several of them at super speed and saw to her pleasure she actually broke the creatures in half, although they were still standing. Then to her horror she saw the halves of the ponies began growing into full shadow ponies again. “What are these things?” Dash muttered as she saw the shadow ponies towards them, they were circling her when...... They then got cut in half but what seemed to be heat vision, she managed to fly up and saw a particular well known earth pony in a red and blue costume. “Are you alright there Sugarcube?” the Coltronian superhero Supermare asked the hero she had teamed up with about a week or something ago, which was the Dash’s first time as a superhero. “Yeah I think i may need with whatever these things are!” Dash said looking around them and Supermare nodded. “Let’s get to it, Sugarcube!” Supermare said as she started flying around and using her heat vision on the shadow ponies and Dash started pounding them with her legs. “Where are these things coming from?” Dash asked getting agitated but then suddenly they shadow ponies looked at the two heroines. “You can’t stop me........” one of them spoke in a dark low voice “All of us are one and the same....” Then suddenly the shadow ponies around them, then started merging together to form what seemed to be a giant black griffon with glowing yellow eyes. “I got this!!!” Dash shouted as she flew to the griffon only to be swatted away to the ground by its claw. Supermare managed to catch before she landed, “so it’ obvious we need a better strategy than that!” Supermare told her glaring at the fellow her as she was letting her go. “I have gotten the perfect idea!” Dash realised with a triumphant grin and Supermare just signed. “What is your idea Sugarcube?” Supermare asked almost dreading the answer. “There are other heroes in Ponyville right?” Dash asked and in response Supermare nodded “we just need to get another hero to help us, maybe we can find Wonder Mare around here!” “Sugarcube wait!!!!” Supermare screamed out as Dash started flying away and Supermare had to chase after her. ** Perched on top of a building in Ponyville, Pinkie Pie was dressed in a black eye mask and a pink hooded jacket while looking down at her target: a stern looking unicorn with glasses, a black polished black mane with stripes of white, a light red fur, his Cutie Mark was a closed fist with only the thumb facing down and he had a red tie: He was Arthur E.T. Figure. She had spent five years stranded on an island where she mastered the art of throwing pies and after getting home to Equestria, she decided she will use her pie throwing talent to help protect ponies from evil, donning a hooded costumed and become a vigilante known as the Pink Pie-Er! The EDA were her primary foes, a boring no fun activist group try to campaign to limit the amount of sugar ponies were allowed to eat. Their founder and head was Canterlot lawyer and activist Arthur E.T. Figure who had came to Ponyville to make a speech. She had an extra sugary chocolate pie aimed at Arthur and was about to fire at him when a disgusting fat and sugar free pie hit her on the back of her head. She turned around and gasped at the figure now facing her. There was a pony holding two fat-free pies and was covered from head to hoove in a black suit. The figure had a black hood attached to it costume that was up, was wearing black boot son all four of his or her hooves and was wearing what seemed to be a gas mask. On the back of the outfit there was the EDA logo to be seen by everypony who looked. “Well if it isn’t the Pink Pie-Er my employers hired me to deal with, we meet again!!” taunted the figure while Pinkie shaking her head with a frown. “And you are that meanypants Dark Pie-Er!” Pinkie responded her frown growing into a glare, she knew this figure was an opponent she had faced before the Dark Pie-Er. When the EDA got wind of the Pink Pie-Er who had announced her war on them, they hired somepony to become their own Pie-Er. This “Dark Pie-Er” was an expert in several different combat techniques and the EDA pretty much advertised as their mascot and new defence against some stupid costumed vigilante anarchist. They started fighting with Pinkie managed to jump behind and in front of her dark rival seemingly at random, however the Dark Pie-Er with her fighting training was more than a match for Pinkie’s randomness. The Dark Pie-Er managed to dodge a pie to the face and Pinkie was taunting her rival as she was standing on the edge of the building. Pinkie dodged several sugar-free pies which were sent off the building. As they heard a scream of rage Pinkie looked down and laughed. “Thanks for doing my job for me!” Pinkie said as she bounced away, the Dark Pie-Er looked down and gasped in shock and panic when he or she saw that her or his boss Arthur had been hit by her stray pies and the photographers in the crowd was taking pictures of the EDA head’s embarrassment. The Pie-Er knowing he or she could expect a rant from Arthur soon, roared out “I WILL HAVE MY VENGEANCE PINK PIE-ER!!!!” Pinkie Pie chirped happily as she got out of her bed, having a dream of her last confrontation with who was becoming her biggest enemy. While she had managed to defeat the Dark Pie-Er, Pinkie had to face the fact that the Dark Pie-Er was a better fighter than her and could one of these days defeat her once and for all. Looking out of her window she saw several shadow ponies attacking the panicky citizens of Ponyville, she gasped out loud knowing she had to help stop these things. Jumping into her closet she changed into her Pink Pie-Er outfit and then stocked up on her pies. “I think it’s time for these meany dark shadows-ponies to face the sweet taste of justice pie!” Pinkie shouted out as she jumped out of her window and climbed to the roof of Sugarcube Corner. She smirked at the shadow ponies on the ceiling as she began throwing her pies at the things, “TASTE THIS!” she shouted as she started throwing her pies at the shadow ponies.....only for them to pass right through their bodies. “Huh........” Pinked asked astounded as she began trying to think of something. After all throwing pies at pones was basically her way of fighting crime, so what does she do now since it seems they do not work on these creatures? She then noticed a caped figure on top of another one of the buildings of Ponyville, then began jumping from rooftop to rooftop until she came across the costumed pony who was wearing a cape, mask and a hat. “I don’t think throwing pies at these things will do you any good!” the masked pony told Pinkie Pie sternly, Pinkie then let out a huge gasp of excitement realising who this pony was. “You are Mare Do Well!” Pinkie excitedly stated, recognising Ponyville’s other well known masked vigilante. “Indeed I am.....” Mare Do Well nodded to the hooded excited hero “I guess that I might be need your help in figuring out where these shadow ponies came from and how to stop them?” “So is this a team up?” Pinkie asked becoming more excited, her first team up besides when Fluttershy and her stopped those criminals before coming back to Ponyville after five years. “I guess so.....” Mare Do Well muttered “but remembers this if we are going to do this then we do it my way, is that understood?” Pinkie nodded enthusiastically while bouncing up and down, “I have a bad feeling about this....” Mare Do Well muttered under her breath. ** Garble freaked out when he saw around the colourful tree where duplicates of the shadowy pony he had followed to the strange tree. They then all faced him and then spoke at once in a low voice (that sounded not like several ponies talking at once, but they were all talking at one sounding like the low dark voice was coming from a single pony): “”..........Garble.......I have brought you here.....” and at the sound of the voice Garble looked at all of the Shadow Ponies nervously. “Which one of you is it?” Garble asked fearing for his life, the shadow ponies shook their heads in perfect unison. “We are all one......I am every single one of us.......we are the Pony of Shadows....” the Shadow Ponies said at once with Garble becoming more creeped out by the second. “Well what do you want from me?” Garble shouted out fearfully at the shadows that made up the Pony of Shadows. “..........we want you to serve us....help us conquer Equestria.........in return you will have the power to become Black Garble once more..........” “Wait so you can grant me the power to transform into Black Garble once again?” Garble asked sounding interested and a little less fearful. “.......you still have a little bit of the Power of Shazam in you...........in return for your servitude to me, I can increase the power within you as well as well as give you a little of my power....” “but wait, can any of those so-called heroes or the stupid princesses take it away from me?” Garble asked remembering what had happened after he was tricked into turning back into a dragon. “........No, I can make it so only I will be able to take it away from you..........I will also allow you to take your vengeance on the one called Captain Alicorn..........” Garble smirked, he will be able to take his vengeance on the stupid baby dragon that stopped his plot to take over Equestria, “I’m in!” Garble stated without taking much to time to think it over. Several black shadows then went into Garble body through his claws and feet, he was zapped by a blast from the colourful tree that unknown to him was known as the Tree of Harmony and he was then blasted by a lightning bolt. Garble hardly didn’t feel hurt by the experience and asked the Pony of Shadows “did it work?” “.......it did indeed..........you can now use the transformation phrase to transform.......you can use the phrase now............” “I think I will..........master.........” Garble responded using the last word hesitatingly not wanting to take orders from a pony even if it was some sort of deity with the power to grant him his revenge. After Equestria was taken over he will think of a way to get rid of his new master so he can rule Equestria himself. But those were plans for the future and he had to focus on transforming back into his old all powerful form that will allowing him to destroy that so called Captain Alicorn, as well as any of the so called superheroes that Equestria was now home to. Garble smirked evilly as he stood right up and was ready to exact his vengeance, he then used the phrase that transformed him into Black Garble, that he was tricked into saying which caused him to transform back into plain old Garble and will allow him to exact his vengeance: SHAZAM!!!!!!!
