> The Adventures of the Friendship Seven!!!! > by grl6p > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > The Origin Story part 1: Recruitment > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- At a rustic summer camp called Camp Everfree, the students of Canterlot High attended a week long session at the camp. It was supposed to be a week of fun nature activites, but apparently things took a different turn. Strange magic surges around camp had affected the Humane 7, giving them superpowers. All of this came from a magic crystal cave in the forest where the head counselor, Gloriosa Daisy found some magical geodes and wore them as a necklace to give the campers 'the best week of their lives' because the camp was getting close to foreclosure due to Gloriosa falling behind on payments and businessman Filthy Rich wanting to turn it into a spa. When Sunset Shimmer and Sci Twi tried to convince her that the geodes were evil, she ignored them completely and soon absorbed the geode's magic. Within minutes, Gloriosa had turned into an evil plant-like demon called Gaea Everfree and she was intent on protecting her beloved camp, even if it meant putting the lives of her campers in jeopardy. Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and Fluttershy were helping save the campers with their newfound powers. Gaea yelled, "No one can stop me!!!!" "No Gaea!" Turns the whole battle was being watched at a superhero organization called the Super Human Intelligence Team (or S.H.I.T. for those who have dirty minds) "Dr. Monoscope, you've gotta see this!" The leader of the organization, Dr. Monoscope, was a man in his mid-forties. He wore all black, had mad scientist goggles, and an armband with the organization on it. For 20 years, he had recruited superheroes to his organization to save the world. Recently, he had been down on his luck because most of his previous recruits had died in cape-related accidents. The surviving teams were too busy out saving the world. Dr. Monoscope was looking to recruit new members so his organization could return to its former glory. His employees tried to convince him to let it go, but he wouldn't budge. Dr. Monoscope looked at the worker watching the movie and said, "Alvin, what are you watching?" Alvin, the worker watching the movie said, "I'm watching this awesome video about this plant monster destroying a summer camp and these teenage girls with superpowers saving the day." Another worker said, "Apparently, these girls have 'Equestrian Magic' do you want to watch with us?" "You could find new recruits in this video." said Alvin. Dr. Monoscope asked, "Do they have capes?" "No sir, they don't have capes. But they do have magic." Dr. Monoscope said, "I guess I could watch them for a few minutes." On the video, Sci Twi had just defeated her inner demon Midnight Sparkle. "I am Twilight Sparkle!" There was a big flash of light and the humane 7 were now wearing their super pony outfits. "Boss look, the girls are using some blast to defeat Gaea Everfree!" Indeed, the girls defeated Gaea Everfree and recieved necklaces from the magical geodes. Dr. Monoscope said, "Were there any sign of powers before Everfree?" Alvin looked at a list he pulled up, "The girls have been 'ponying-up' a lot this past year, and the one named Twilight Sparkle had a demon form that caused chaos at a high school prom this past spring." Dr. Monoscope said, "Bring me those girls. I think we just found our newest superhero team." (theme song starts playing) Who do you call when your friendship is in trouble?

Generosity! Forgiveness! So if you're in trouble and you don't know the way, the Friendship Seven will save your day! It was a few days after the girls left Camp Everfree and they were hanging out on the steps of Canterlot High talking about their new powers. Pinkie Pie was so excited she was jumping up and down, "I can't wait to show off my exploding sprinkle power to my sisters! They'll love it!" "My superstrength will be great for farm work." Applejack added. Rainbow Dash said, "Yeah! And my superspeed could get me a scholarship for track & field!" Sunset quickly calmed her friends down. "Guys I know we're all excited about our new powers but we have to learn that with our powers comes great responsibility. Someone could get hurt because of us." Sci Twi added, "I learned that the hard way and I don't want the same to happen to you guys." The school bell rang and everyone ran inside. Inside, everyone was talking about what happened at Camp Everfree and applauded the girls when they came in. Lyra said, "You guys were awesome at camp!" "You guys sure showed Gaea Everfree!" Bon Bon chimed in Bulk Biceps popped his head in from the hallway, "You guys are like the female Avengers!" Sunset told everyone, "Guys it was no big deal. The magic probably found some way into our world and absorbed us. The best thing for us now is to lay low and hope no one tries to hurt us." On those exact words, Vice Principal Luna announced, "Will Sunset Shimmer, Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie please report to my office immediately?" Everyone looked at the girls. "Aww fuck." The Humane 7 trudged over to Celestia's office and sat down on the bench outside. Luna said, "You girls may enter. There is a man here who wants to see you." The girls went inside and saw Dr. Monoscope standing with Vice Principal Luna. Sci Twi asked, "Why did you call us here?" Luna replied as she got up from her desk, "Don't ask me, ask Dr. Monoscope." She left the office. Pinkie Pie asked, "What are we here for?" Dr. Monoscope said, "Girls, my name is Dr. Monoscope." He pulled a lever and soon he and the girls were in a strange looking superhero conference room. "Girls, I am the leader of the Super Human Intelligence Team where I recruit superheros from-" Rainbow Dash briefly snickered. Dr. Monoscope saw her and ordered, "Let me finish!" Rainbow Dash stopped. "Sorry." "Ever since you girls started to 'pony-up', we've been watching over you and your powers. And with the latest episode at Camp Everfree, we at the Super Human Intelligence Team have decided to recruit as as a team of superheroes to fight crime around the city." Pinkie Pie said, "We'll take the offer!" "I'll let you girls talk amongst yourselves." The girls huddled around each other. Pinkie Pie whispered, "We're gonna be superheroes! This is the best day ever!" Rainbow Dash said, "I'll be so much cooler than before!" "I don't know guys." Sci Twi said, "I'm afraid our powers will hurt somebody and we can't control them. We just got them." Sunset Shimmer assured her, "Twilight, I know you're scared but it's okay, we have powers too. Dr. Monoscope said it was okay if we didn't know how to control them. He'd help us." Sci Twi sighed, "Well it can't hurt to try and use them to help people." "Great." Dr. Monoscope said, "Girls, have you made your decision?" All of the girls replied in unison, "We'll take it!" Dr. Monoscope smiled, "Congratulations girls. You have just agreed to the opportunity of a lifetime." To be continued... > The Origin Story part 2: What is S.H.I.T.? > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- After being told from Dr. Monoscope that that they have just been accepted, the Humane 7 cheered. "We're gonna be superheroes!" "I can't wait to tell everyone!" "Best day ever!" Dr. Monoscope said, "Girls, settle down. I know you're all excited but I have to lay down some ground rules first: 1. I alerted your school and families that I was going to recruit you so they wouldn't be worried about it. 2. Since you are under 18, we're reluctant to let you fight crime abroad with what's going on in the world reccently. 3. No capes. I've had teams die in cape related accidents." Sci Twi raised her hand, "Dr. Monoscope can you give us more information on S.H.I.T. so we know if you guys are a trustworthy organization?" Dr. Monoscope said, "I'm glad you asked that. It's time I told you guys what we're all about." (theme song starts playing) Who do you call when your friendship is in trouble? Your girl stole your boy, you're having a fight and you need help on the double. Don't sweat it out, just give a shout To the Friendship Seven! Honesty! Magic! Loyalty! Kindness! Laughter! Generosity! Forgiveness! So if you're in trouble and you don't know the way, the Friendship Seven will save your day! Dr. Monoscope had his men organize a slideshow that showed the organization's history. The first slide showed the company's logo. Dr. Monoscope said, "The Super Human Intelligence Team is a worldwide organization of superheroes and secret agents. Our main goal is to fight crime and spread peace and harmony around the world." He clicked to the next slide which was a picture of the original founders. "As you can see here, I was one of the original founders of the organization. I went abroad as a social justice ambassador in my college years and saw many horrible things occurring like crime, human trafficking, child labor and abuse. I made friends around the world and we developed a common goal to stop this chaos once and for all. So we took it to the American government." Sci Twi asked, "And what did they say?" Dr. Monoscope said, "They told me that it would be impossible for one person to try and solve all of the worlds problems. I told them I could do it on my own. So I called up all my international friends and told them my plan." A young Dr. Monoscope said, "I decided to form an organization where superheroes will fight crime and spread peace around the globe. I need each of you to go gather any powerful people you know and send them out to stop crime." One of the friends, who was from England, said, "And how are we going to do that if our governments won't be able to back us up on this?" "Mr. Hood. We don't need government support to help us on our mission. We need to work together and spread friendship around the world and when we do that, people will know what our mission is. Maybe this will get us recognized as a non-violent organization. Are you with me on this or not?" Mr. Hood nodded, "I'm in." "Me too." One of Dr. Monoscope's friends said, "We got it, sir." A young Dr. Monoscope said, "Great, but we still can't do this on our own. We'd need backup." "I also needed some international organizations to help us out. So we managed to get help from groups such as the FBI, the CIA, and several other organizations. Our biggest ally is the United Nations. Ever since one of our agents prevented a terrorist attack on the organization in '96, we have been seen as peaceful allies to them." "Impressive." Sci Twi said as she was taking notes on the presentation. Sunset Shimmer raised her hand, "Dr. Monoscope, how did S.H.I.T. become aware of us 'ponying up'?" Dr. Monoscope went to another slide with several news articles on it, "We've been aware of strange recurrences of magic ever since last fall. One of our agents was patrolling the neighborhood near your school when he saw your friend take the tiara and turn into a magical demon. He recorded everything that followed and sent it to me right away. Since then, I've sent agents to go undercover at your school to check for any surges of magic." Pinkie Pie said, "That explained the sudden rise in exchange students following the Fall Formal." "Correct" said Dr. Monoscope. Sci Twi asked, "But what about when I developed my magic?" "Easy, the agents have set up hidden cameras around the school when you absorbed some of the power from the statue. When one of the agents tipped me off about you using it in your old school, we had an agent secretly follow you around. Not to weird you out or anything," "No it's fine." "Anyway, we'd been monitoring you up until the Shattered Crystal Prom when you finally unleashed it on your schoolmates." He turned the PowerPoint off, "And now you know about the Super Human Intelligence Team." The girls applauded. Dr. Monoscope got up, "Girls, please follow me, I have to show you some things that will help you when you fight crime." The Friendship 7 followed Dr. Monoscope to a room with a button on the edge of the door. He pressed a button that opened an elevator. "Girls, please follow me." He and the girls entered the elevator and went downstairs until the elevator stopped and the door opened to reveal a hall of gadgets and weapons. "Wow, these weapons are awesome!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed, "Is that a triple laser beam?" she asked, pointing to a laser held in a porcelain case. "Yes it is." said Dr. Monoscope before he turned to Pinkie Pie about to touch a bazooka, "DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING! Not yet at least." "Sorry." "These weapons are great Dr. Monoscope." Sunset Shimmer said, "But with our geodes we have plenty powers to go along." "And the best outfits too." Rarity added. "I understand." Dr. Monoscope agreed, "But however, there is one thing I want to show you. Do any of you know how to drive?" Pinkie Pie began to hold her breath in excitement, knowing what was going to happen. "Um... I still have my learner's permit," Fluttershy meekly replied. "Okay, girls follow me to this secret cave." He led them into a dark room and went to the light switch. "Girls, I present to you, the Friendship Mobile!" He flipped the switch to reveal a pink and rainbow colored car that had all of the girl's symbols. "I give you the 2016 SHIT Friendship Mobile with a removable hood that runs on standard fuel, goes up to 80 mph, plays satellite radio, has cupholders, and holds over 8 people." Pinkie Pie exploded with joy, "WE FINALLY HAVE A FRIENDSHIP MOBILE!!!!! I can't wait to drive it and save the world!!!!" She ran over and hugged the car, "Can I keep it?" "It's all yours." Pinkie Pie cheered and pulled her friends into a group hug. "Ready to save the world?" "YEAH!!!" The now Friendship 7 did a group fist bump.
