In Ponyville suddenly everyone in the area of where most of the heroes were heard an evil cackle, “What is happening?” Tydal asked after he just skewed several Shadow Ponies in half using his trident.
They then saw the Pony of Shadows hovering above them, “I am the Pony of Shadows, these Shadow Ponies are mere duplicates that serve my invasion.” The Pony said laughing manically “After you and every attempted resistance is defeated I will rule this world in a state of never ending night!”
“Looks like he is behind all of this!” Dash snarled looking up at the pony and Draconequus hybrid “let’s go and kick his flank so that we can stop all of this!”
Dash then flew right at the Pony of Shadows only to get zapped to the ground by eye beams from the evil entity. “You work best on the ground Sugarcube; you best help get the Ponyvillans to safety!” Applejack told Dash and she nodded.
Dash then nodded grimly as she began running at super speed making sure all of the ponies got away from the smaller Shadow Ponies. “Let’s see how you handle this!” Applejack snarled as she went charging at the Pony of Shadows.
The Pony of Shadows clicked his fingers and there was now a cotton candy cloud above Applejack and the Coltronian got chocolate milk falling on her. “What the....” Applejack managed to say in confusion as she was being swatted away by the claw of the Pony of Shadows.
“Chocolate Rain, how lucky is Supermare!” Pinkie said as she was helping get the ponies to safety and fight the Shadow Ponies along with Mare Do Well, as the ones in the group without much that could be considered super powers this was the best they could help in this situation.
“Focus Pink Pie-Er!” Mar Do Well told Pinkie sternly who gave a sheepish smile in return. Applejack managed to get up and then managed to fly up to the back of the Pony of Shadows and send him to the ground with a punch.
“That merely tickled, I was just humouring you!” laughed the Pony of Shadows as he took Applejack using his claw and started pummelling her to the ground for a minute.
“This is all pointless!” cackled the Pony of Shadows madly as he began making chocolate rain clouds appear everywhere “There is nothing that can stop the Pony of Shadows!”
“Let me see about that!” Fluttershy shouted as she began chagrining in and then got the Pony of Shadows in her lasso and she managed to pummel him about.
The Pony of Shadows then glared at her as he managed to get out and used the Lasso to bring her closer to him and he started attacking her. “Take this you so called Wonder Mare!” the Pony of Shadows said as he threw Fluttershy crashing into a wall.
“Take this you demon!” Tydal shouted charging with his trident, he managed to punch the Pony of Shadows several times and managed to hit him several times with his Trident.
The Pony of Shadows had one of his cotton candy clouds hit Tydal in the back giving him the distraction that he needed to toss Tydal to the ground. He then started having some of his Shadow Ponies stomp onto Tydal before he manage dot get up and cut the Shadow Ponies in half with his trident.
The Pony of Shadows used his claw to get a lucky shot at Tydal, “So much for the God of War and the Sea!” mocked the Pony of Shadows kicking down at Tydal before he managed to get up and was taking care of the Shadow Ponies that were surrounding him.
“You are so in for it!” Derpy shouted as she turned into the creature she used to curb stomp Black Garble and she then charged at the Pony of Shadows.
“Not even you can stop me Martian!” roared the Pony of Shadows with a glare on his face as he fought against the shape shifting Martian.
With a lucky shot the Pony of Shadows managed to send Derpy to the ground here she went back to her previous green pony form, the Pony of Shadows grinned to himself, most of Equestria’s heroes layed defeated at his hooves.
A.K. Yearling the author of the Daring Doo series of novels was about to get hit by falling debris when it was caught by a green construct.
There was Twilight, Trixie and Captain Alicorn who had just arrived, the seven heroes already there cheered that now all of Equestria’s superheroes were here to stop the Pony of Shadows.
Trixie smiled when she saw that Tydal arrived, “See that Skeets, Tydal came to help just as I planned!” Trixie said excitedly as Skeets just gave a robotic sigh.
Then came the chariots with Shining, Cadence and their chosen members of the Royal Guard, “Looks like the Calvary has arrived!” smirked Twilight when she saw her big brother best friend forever, her old foalsitter and the colt she was growing fond of with the group.
Then the guards started helping getting the citizens to safety and fighting the Shadow Ponies, the heroes no realised they can now focus their efforts on taking the Pony of Shadows down once and for all.
The Pony of Shadows grunted and he realised he now had more pests to deal with, nonetheless he already has a servant he recruited to help with this.
“Black Garble I want you to -” the Pony of Shadows started saying but then realised his dragon turned alicorn herald was not there “wait – where is Black Garble.”
“Oh I sent that meanie packing!” Derpy chuckled out loud, Captain Alicorn could not believe it. Looks like his big ultimate showdown with his dark counterpart and rival would have to be another day, if it was going to happen at all.
“Looks like I have to deal with you pests on my own!” the Pony of Shadows roared out using his cotton candy clouds to shoot bolts of lightning at the heroes as they began dodging.
Trixie then began using the blasts from her gauntlets to shoot at the Pony of Shadows which he was managing to deflect using the armour on his pony half. Captain Alicorn then began punching at the Pony of Shadows only to get swatted away.
Twilight was managing to block the attacks form the cotton candy clouds using a constructed umbrella, she then began firing green blasts at the Pony of Shadows until he pushed her away.
“Now to destroy you once and for all......” the Pony of Shadows and then to the confusion of him and the heroes he then began glowing rainbow colors.
“What is happening to me?” the Pony of Shadows roared out in a terrified voice, then Twilight got an idea.
“I think I know!” Twilight said with a smirk to the shrieking Draconequus and pony hybrid “[color]You now have the powers of the Tree of Harmony and the chaos powers of a Draconequus, chaos and harmony cannot exist at the same time so your powers are colliding with themselves!”
The Pony of Shadows continued screaming in pain as the ten heroes began taking their chance. “Wait......you can’t do this to me..........I am supposed to rule this world........” the Pony of Shadows shouted in terror but his protest fell on deaf ears at what now going to happen to the powerful evil and dark pony like shadow entity.
Twilight was hitting the Pony of Shadows with a mallet construct, Mare Do Well began throwing electrified bolas at the being, Captain Alicorn was throwing lightning bolts at the entity, Pinkie was throwing Pies at him and Dash was punching him with super speed.
Applejack was shooting heat vision at him, Derpy was punching him with a large hand she had transformed her hoove into, Tydal was hitting him with his trident, Trixie was shooting at him with her power gauntlets and Fluttershy was punching him with her hooves.
Then the ten heroes stepped back as a blast erupted from the Pony of Shadows, he screamed into terror until his armour, wings Draconequus half and horn went of him and he turned into a normal sized black furred earth pony.
Then the moon went down and the sun returned to its normal place, all across Equestria every single one of the Shadow Ponies all at the same time disappeared into nothingness.
The civilians all around Equestria when they saw the Shadow Ponies had disappeared, were now relieved that this now seemed to be over.
Then the Pony of Shadows turned into a stone statue with the look of horror forever etched onto his face, the ten heroes faced the crowd and they started cheering and applauding.
“Good work that was!” Applejack said and all of the heroes nodded in agreement.
“Do you think we all can form a team?” Tydal asked and they then thought about that.
“I would be up for it, even if it meant putting up with this braggart.” Captain Alicorn said pointing his hoove at Trixie who just glared at him.
“What should we call ourselves?” Derpy asked and they started coming up with ideas.
“We can be the Power Ponies!” said Captain Alicorn remembering a comic book that he loved.
“I think that name is trademarked.” Replied Trixie with a shake of her head.
“How about the Terrific Ten?” Dash suggested.
“Or we can be the Justice League!” Pinkie said jumping up and down excitedly.
Twilight then remembered something that the Green Lantern of Sector 2814 Hal Jordan said back on Oa, before this whole mess had started.
“Basically a team of Super Friends back on my home planet of Earth.” Hal informed Twilight with a smile.
“How about – the Super Friends of Equestria?[]/color” Twilight suggested and the nine heroes seemed to agree with it.
Twilight then noticed Flash Sentry and then started walking up to him. “Hi Twilight.... nice work there stopping that hybrid monsters......” Flash Sentry stuttered with a smile.
“Thanks, all in a day’s work I guess for a member of the Green Lantern Corps.” Twilight smiled back and she decided to try something risky. She stood on her forelegs and then put her hooves around Flash and then they were now floating in the air.
“I think I really like you Flash.” Twilight said and then realised she had just admitted her crush who she did not even know she was crushing on him.
“I really like you too!” Flash said and their cheeks then started blushing.
“JUST KISS ALREADY YOU IDIOTS!” most of the Ponyville citizens shouted back on the ground, this included about the nine other superheroes that helped Twilight defeat the Pony of Shadows.
Twilight and Flash both had their faces coming closer....

Until they were finally kissing reminiscent of the Superman and Wonder Woman kiss from Justice League #12 but this was not a marketing scheme to sell comic books.
The nine superheroes looked up and smiled at the couple. Princess Cadence looked up in tears of joy that her favourite little filly seemed to have found a special somepony of her own while her fiancé Shining looked stone faced and realised he needed to have a word with his cadet very soon about kissing or possibly dating his younger sister.
And so the day was saved, the Pony of Shadows was defeated this time for good, the first superhero team Equestria has had in decades has been formed and in the afterlife the spirit of the first alicorn ever born smiled knowing that the foe he had defeated long ago was now gone for good.
All was well....
At least for the moment anyway........
