Trixie was flying back to Canterlot with Skeets, back from the castle where they were negotiating with a special future friend of theirs. “Can you believe what I managed to do, Skeets?” Trixie asked her voice filling with excitement.

“ Disrupt the natural timeline, no I don’t believe it Trixie!” Skeets said managing to sound stern even with his robotic voice.

“He will end up joining the SFE anyway so I am only speeding up the results.” Said Trixie with a wave of her hoove “come on let’s go, the Pony of Shadows will have started his invasion right now!”

Skeets sighed as he followed his friend, hopefully Trixie’s confidence and arrogance that she will be able to alter the timeline in a favourable way won’t be her downfall.

Twilight was walking down the pavement outside the Palace with Flash Sentry, “Sinestro and Kilowog sounds like the drill instructors at the royal guard’s academy!” Flash said as Twilight was telling him her experiences on Oa.

“I guess you can say that Flash...” chuckled Twilight lightly at the colt she had been close to for maybe a couple of weeks now.

“I have had a really great time since we started having these days out together.” Twilight managed to sum up the courage to say though a blush escaped onto her cheeks.

“Me too....” Flash said the cheek of the royal guard cadet also blush facing this pretty mare who was the sister of his superior, Equestria’s most famous superhero and the personal student of Princess Celestia herself.

Their faces began going closer and just as they were an inch apart....

But.......then they heard screaming and yelling as the duplicates of the Pony of Shadows starting appearing and attacking the citizens of Canterlot. “Guess that is your cue, I might be needed back at the academy.” Flash stated as he ran to the direction of the academy.

Unknown to the couple, Spike was not that far behind them and he was then pulled into a hole in the ground by some sort of an eagle claw, Spike would now have to meet his new mentor.

Twilight nodded and realised her ring needed charging so she began trotting to the palace and once inside, she began running to her room. She levitated her Green Lantern Power Battery out of her cupboard.

Placing it on the ground she pointed her horn to it and she recited the Green Lantern Oath to recharge her ring (as she was reciting the oath she was glowing green):

IN BRIGHTEST DAY
IN BLACKEST NIGHT
NO EVIL SHALL ESCAPE MY SIGHT
LET THOSE WHO WORSHIP EVIL’S MIGHT
BEWARE MY POWER
GREEN LANTERN’S LIGHT!!!

Twilight had now transformed into her Green Lantern uniform and then flown out her window.

A Green Lantern’s work was never done.

Discord was facing Spike after bring him down to the Rock of Eternity, “I believe you are wondering why I have called you here my shrimp champion of SHAZAM?”

Spike was looking up at the Draconequus who granted him the power to transform into the superhero Captain Alicorn, he then answered him “is it to tell me to deal with the shadow ponies?”

“Why yes it is, this is the crisis that I made me decide to give you the powers of SHAZAM!” Discord explained extending his neck closer to Spike “this threat called the Pony of Shadows, he has even recruited and given power to an old adversary of yours!”

Discord then showed a mirror revealing the Pony of Shadows giving power to Garble and Spike looked frightened at the sight of the bully that had temporarily stolen his powers and pretty much terrorised Appleloosa.

“So are you ready for the mission you were chosen to fight for, my scaly champion?” Discord asked and Spike after thinking it over for a second nodded determinedly.

“Excellent now go show the Pony of Shadows and Black Garble the power of SHAZAM!!!!” Discord ordered and Spike nodded confidently.

“SHAZAM!!!!” and with that phrase uttered Spike turned into his older caped alicorn alter ego the big purple cheesecake Captain Alicorn and he then flew out of the Rock of Eternity.

Captain Alicorn did not notice that as he flew past Discord a piece of the mane on Discord’s head fell off and got caught on his cape, the big purple cheesecake could not know at the time how much consequence that would be.

Discord looked at his statue of Atlas and remarked “yeah Atlas buddy, I hope I have not chosen the wrong host for the Power of SHAZAM as well!”

In Ponyville,

Derpy Hooves was in her house reading a book while her daughter Dinky was upstairs. She was reading a Daring Doo book on her couch and for a second she somehow turned into Daring Do herself and back into Derpy again.

Derpy then looked out the window and was alarmed to see the Shadow Ponies outside hurting the poor innocent ponies, “Should I intervene?” Derpy wondered as she allowed the book to be put on her hoove table.

Back in Canterlot, Twilight rushed to the outside of her room and then used a construct of a giant hammer to slam it onto the several Shadow ponies. Just as this was happening the entire Royal Guard was summoned to deal with it.

To her utter shock and amazement the Shadow Ponies she smashed reassembled themselves and then spoke to her in unison saying “Green Lantern, your efforts are meaningless and a waste of time, nothing can stop the Pony of Shadows!”

“We will see about that.....” responded Twilight using a construct of a saw to pierce right through several of the Shadow Ponies at once only for them to reassemble themselves again.

She then saw some sort of gold energy take out several Shadow Ponies as well as some sort of lightning bolt. She then saw flying to her was the superheroes Twilight read about who were known as Captain Alicorn and Trixie Gold.

“Hey Twi – I mean Green Lantern!” Captain Alicorn said after stopping himself, he almost forgot he had a secret identity.

“Oh my gosh....it’s her.....” Trixie muttered in an excited voice that made Twilight believe she was some sort of a fangirl.

“Hey why are you here?” Captain Alicorn snarled at Trixie when he noticed the superhero he saw as nothing but a showboating attention grabber.

“I am here to help as I know the Shadow Ponies are originating in the Everfree Forest.” retorted Trixie who secretly knew this was not the first time she had met the caped alicorn “You got a problem with that, you big purple cheesecake!”

“WE DON’T NEED YOUR HELP....” Captain Alicorn snarled and then Twilight had to use a construct of a wall to separate the two.

“I believe we are on the same side here!” Twilight told the fellow heroes sternly “If we are to stop them I think we are going to have to work together, Trixie Gold you say that these things are coming from the forest in Ponyville?”

Trixie nodded with Skeets floating above her head, both the heroine and her robot friend knew they could not yet divulge how they got this information.

“Well then, let’s go and do try and get along, we can’t afford quarrelling if we have to focus on stopping these shadow pony creatures!” Twilight told them as she then began flying in the direction of Ponyville.

Trixie stuck her tongue out at Captain Alicorn as she used the flight ring on her horn to float up in the air and started flying after Twilight, Captain Alicorn glared at the back of Trixie as he took then began flying after them.

Captain Alicorn knew he will not like having to team up with this showboater, Celestia forbid if this cocky attention hog got them killed due to her antics.

In the castle where Trixie Gold and Skeets had gone to, the figure they had spoken to, got up from his throne and would begin his journey to help the citizens of Equestria with this new threat that Trixie told him about.

This evil had better beware.....

For the Aquapony would be coming.....
