//------------------------------// // Surprises // Story: Super Friends of Equestria // by cornholio4 //------------------------------// “I am the Pony of Shadows, every second that passes I grow closer to the tree that seals the prison I have been trapped in for countless millennia by that accursed Alicorn.” “That doesn’t matter now, I will soon escape my prison and Equestria will soon fall to my power.” “I already have my servant Black Garble dispatched to deal with Equestria’s so called protectors, the so called Superheroes! Even if my fails to destroy these so called heroes, they will prove no match for my power!” “After Equestria’s heroes and princesses have fallen, I will create a world with only shadows in which I will be the supreme overlord and the residents will exist merely to serve me as slaves.” “My ultimate victory is inevitable!” ** At Sweet Apple Acres farm Applebloom was safely inside the house with her big brother Big Macintosh and their Granny Smith. These strange Shadow Ponies were attacking Ponyville and her big sister Applejack was outside trying to stop them as Supermare. Then suddenly she saw some of them barging in, her eyes blinked in shock as she saw them coming closer to her big brother and grandmother. “Run Applebloom!” they commanded to Applebloom who screamed out a single word: “NNNNNNOOOOOO!!!!” Then suddenly heat vision beams came from out of her eyes and vaporised the Shadow Ponies, just like Applejack’s she blinked as she saw she was now floating in the air. She looked to her grandmother and brother and saw they were just as shocked as she was, it could only mean one thing: She managed to develop her Coltronian Powers! She looked to her flank excitedly but saw no superhero Cutie Mark. Aaawwww............ She swooped down and then was hugged by her brother and grandmother. “Are you alright Applejack?” Granny Smith asked looking at her granddaughter with concern on her face. “Just fine.” Applebloom smiled at the idea she just had “hey do you two think that now I have my powers then Applejack will have me as her sidekick, I can be Superfilly!” Big Macintosh and Granny Smith then shared a chuckle as the three Apple Family members continued their hug. ** The trio of the Green Lantern Twilight Sparkle and the still bickering Captain Alicorn and Trixie Gold were not high above the Everfree Forest. “I still don’t think we need this stupid braggart!” Captain Alicorn said glaring at Trixie. “You want a piece of me?” Trixie asked glaring at Captain Alicorn until they were both slapped by Twilight using a hand construct. “We are at the Everfree Forest right now.” Twilight said as the three of them flew down to the ground and they were now in the Everfree Forest. “Can you show us where the source of these Shadow Ponies, Trixie Gold?” Twilight asked Trixie who then looked smug. “Why certainly mu.....I mean Green Lantern.” Trixie said leading the trio through the forest with her two fellow heroes batting an eye at whatever she was about to say. “How exactly do you know this anyhow?” Captain Alicorn asked curiously and Trixie looked concerned, how would she be able to explain without revealing she was from the future? “I.....uuhhh.......interrogated one of those Shadow Ponies and he managed to tell me!” Trixie muttered and looking at the two heroes she knew that they were not convinced but did not question further. “Dodged a bullet as you ponies say, didn’t you Trixie.” Skeets said to Trixie in her ear and she began glaring at her robot friend. Twilight realised that when she had time and when this was all over she would have to start investigating Trixie Gold, but for now they would have to concentrate on stopping these Shadow Ponies. ** Fluttershy was now swirling Shadow ponies about with her Lasso as Tydal was piercing through them using his trident. “I came here as one of Equestria’s superheroes had asked for my help in this.” Tydal explained as he was going through many more Shadow ponies “She came to me when I was considering a proposal of my sister Celestia about some God Squad project of hers.” “What the...........” Fluttershy said as she and Tydal spotted several pies going through shadow ponies. They then saw trotting towards them the heroines Mare Do Well and the Pink Pie-Er. “Oh my gosh, hello Flutter....oh yes secret identity.....” Pinkie said jumping and down excitedly and luckily she had managed to realise her mistake “I mean hello Wonder Mare and I think that is Aquapony from my comic!!!!!!” “I believe if we are going to figure out a way to stop whatever is happening, we would need to work together.” Mare Do Well said to the OC and Amazon warrior mare who was getting irritated by the hyper hooded vigilante she had recruited to help her. “Look up there!” Pinkie said pointing to the sky as the three fellow heroes saw Green Lantern, Captain Alicorn and Trixie Gold flying towards the Everfree Forest. “Maybe we all could form a super team!” Pinkie said jumping up and down excitedly “we could be the Avengers, the Wonders of the Universe or how about the Justice League!” “There should be two other superheroes in Equestria....” mused Mare Do Well “Supermare and the Dash, where could they be?” ** At the other side of Ponyville, Applejack better known as Supermare charged at Black Garble with the Dash at her side. Dash manage to fly around Black Garble dazing him, providing a distraction so that Applejack can swoop in and started punching at black Garble’s face. Black Garble managed to Block Applejack and then sent some lightning powered punches of his own at Applejack’s face. They continued punching at eachother until Dash swooped in and punched the size at Black Garble’s head. This gave Applejack the opportunity to use her back legs to kick at black Garble sending him to the ground, however he managed to get up and back into the air easily. “Take this Heroes!” Black Garble said in a mocking tone as he sent several bolts of lightning at Dash and Applejack, Applejack managed to dodge but Dash got hit causing her to fall down until she managed to catch herself. “This in on now you punk!” Dash screamed as she charged at Black Garble only to get hit by several bolts of lightning causing her to fall to the ground. Black Garble did not have enough time to laugh at this before his back was blasted Applejack’s heat vision. “You are in for it now!” Black Garble as he charged at Applejack and they got into a fist fight. Black Garble managed to get the upper hand and he used a lightning bolt to make her stagger, he then saw Dash get up so he took Applejack and tossed her at the super fast Pegasus making them both on the ground. Black Garble laughed gloatingly as he floated down to the ground, he looked triumphantly at the two heroes he managed to defeat for the moment. “You will have the honour of being the first two so called superheroes that I will kill!” Black Garble but he then saw Derpy Hooves walking up to him with a strong glare. Dash and Applejack was wondering what the strange eyed Pegasus was doing, “What exactly do you want, you stupid pony?” Black Garble asked deciding to let Derpy explain herself before he used a bolt of lightning to vaporise her on the spot. Derpy then spoke two words: “Go away.” Dash and Applejack both shared a collective hoove smack as Black Garble bursted into laughter, but his laughter stopped as where Derpy had been standing there was now a giant brutish green creature that was three times his size. Black Garble only had the chance to stare in shock as the creature began pummelling on Black Garble, due to the fact he was smaller and he was tired out because of the fight he just had Black Garble was not able to defend himself. The creature then used its fist to grab Black Garble and it threw him towards the Dragon wastelands, Black Garble due to his weakened state was not able to use his wings to stop his flight so he was in for a twenty minute journey before he finally landed. The creature then looked at Applejack and Dash who were getting up and had their jaws practically still on the ground. “Hello everypony!” the creature then said cheerfully in Derpy’s voice before it then morphed in what looked like Derpy but with green fur, no mane and a dark blue cape with a collar. “Derpy?” they both asked in unison and Derpy Hooves chuckled, she then decided to explain. “Back on my home planet of Mars I was known as Derp’Ae Hooves.” Derpy explained to the astonished two superheroes “but I guess now my secret is our you can call me the Martian PonyHunter.” By the looks on both Dash and Applejack’s face Derpy knew that she would have to explain her whole story to them. “Okay let me explain....”
