A very special treat for you guys... (Just a little short story I created...)

Okay, as I'm almost at 150 followers, I thought I'd arrange a little gift for you guys. For the past couple of years, before I ever came to Fimfiction, I've been writing a long running story on the Superheroes Story Forum on the LEGO.Com MBs called Brickiteers: The Series. Here's my most recent entry in the story, which is a tribute to us as a fandom.

First, the character bios:

Pete: A rather excitable inventor and the Brickiteer's resident mechanic, (Want a laser gun made from scrap metal? He can do it!) who does happen to be somewhat arrogant and a bit of a dick honestly, but when the time is right and his friends, or heaven forbid, his family is in danger, he will come at you with everything he's got and then some. Has black hair and stubble on his face.

Steve: A young magician who grew up in the Lego City Orphanage, he at first was the Brickiteers swordsman, and that was his only use. However, over time and under the tutelage of Doctor Fate and his girlfriend Zatanna Zatara, he's grown into a powerful magic user in his own right. Wears a blue trenchcoat and has sandy blond hair.

Inari: The Shinto Kami of Foxes, Medicine, Wealth, and Sake, he's pretty much this universe's incarnation of Discord, although nowhere near as powerful, as he can only create illusions, although they are very powerful ones. He can also teleport, have control over fire, and most powerfully, can turn into a Kaiju sized nine tailed fox. Often seen wearing a red kimono and having his brown hair down to a really long, almost rock star length, Inari is rather arrogant and can easily get on everyone's nerves, most of all the Brickiteer's leader Kingsley Williams.

And now, for your viewing pleasure, story 141 in the Brickiteers adventures, "Bronies, Magic Gone Wild, and a bad day for Pete: What more could ya ask for?" in it's completely uncensored and error corrected form.

Okay, so I know it's been months since you've last seen an entry from me, but have no fear, the pen which chronicles the adventures of the JLU has once again been picked up. It was mid-December in LEGO City, and everyone was feeling the chill. It had been quiet for the past few months, with no activity from the Legion of Doom and very little supervillain related incidents. To be honest, everyone was rather grateful for this, and had taken time off from their superheroic duties for some well earned downtime. Take the case of Pete and Steve, who currently along with Kingsley were having lunch at their favorite cafe in LEGO City. Steve was particularly excited today, as tomorrow was the start of the yearly Bronycon in Manhattan.

"Alright, at last, it's here!" Steve said as he threw his hands up in celebration. Pete sipped from his coffee cup with a bemused look on his face. Snow fell outside the cafe window, covering the sidewalks and streets.

"And honestly, I couldn't care less." He repiled dryly. To him, bronies were just obsessive fanboys groveling over a little kids show. "Fanboys, hate them."

"Right, and yet you're a member of both the SPN Family and a Whovian." Steve deadpanned. Pete's face was one of unamusement.

"T-That's different!" Pete stuttered out. Nearby, Kingsley and Leroy watched the developing argument with amused faces, as Kingsley took a sip of coffee from his "Gibb's Rules" coffee cup. "Those shows are for grown-ups, My Little Pony is for kids!"

"And yet it's watchers outnumber it's target demographic." Steve put in. "Hey, uh listen, you couldn't do me a solid and get me to the Con in a Javelin could you... seeing as how I've never been cleared for flight of one." Steve admitted embarrassingly.

"No way." Pete answered flatly, but then Jethro gave him a stare that would do Fluttershy proud. Pete swallowed in fear before sighing in resignation.

"Alright, fine, but let it be known I am doing this under protest. Extreme protest."

Va-Whoom!

The Javelin rocketed over the fields of the midwest, Pete having had to get up bright and early before dawn even broke if they were to have any chance of making the Con, and he wasn't happy about it one bit. The sun was just beginning to rise over the snow covered fields of Smallville, casting a beautiful glow over the landscapes. Currently, Pete had picked some music to keep himself awake, and the song in question? "Shameless" by Garth Brooks, which Pete had picked out just specifically to annoy Steve, as he knew he hated that genre of music more than any other. However, a few minutes later, Steve got his revenge.

"Alright, engaging afterburners."

As soon as he hit them, the Javelin broke the sound barrier, and even as it did that, Steve uttered a spell under his breath that as soon as the Crack! of the sound barrier being broken, a wave of rainbow energy was left behind in the Javelin's wake. Pete noticed.

"STTTTEEEEVVVE!"

Later that day, Pete and Steve were at Bronycon after one madcap taxi ride that still left both feeling a little queasy. In front of them was a large building, with steps leading up to it and a big white banner that read "Welcome to Bronycon 2016!" All around were Bronies (And Pegasisters) dressed up in pony costumes or other MLP related attire. Even Steve himself had got in the act, wearing a Doctor Whooves T-shirt and carrying a Trixie plushie while Pete just wore his old orange and blue jacket, which Steve hadn't seen wear in ages.

"Oh dear God, I've gone to Hell." Pete muttered as he looked all around him. Suddenly there came a shout from somewhere in the crowd.

"Hey everybody, look! It's Steve and Pete from the Justice League!"

And then came the mob, with pretty much everyone asking for signed autographs or interviews.

"H-Hey, save this for the voice actors! They're the real stars here, not us!" Steve cried, but went unheard. Pete's reaction?

"Oh just fuck me now..."

Eventually, Pete and Steve escaped the mob by a quick thinking moment from Steve shouting "Hey look everybody, it's Lauren Faust!" and ran inside, with Pete actually happy to escape the mob, even if it meant going into his personal idea of Tartarus. For Steve however, it was his idea of paradise. All around him, other Bronies and Pegasisters surrounded them, with convention booths set up with their owners selling custom figurines, plushies, and artwork. Pete was walking by a piece of artwork, completely ignoring it, until he turned around and walked right back upon seeing the artwork itself. There in front of him were the characters Spike and Twilight Sparkle imitating the famous Duel of the Fates scene from Star Wars Episode One with Derpy Hooves in place of Darth Maul. Steve saw it and smirked to himself. The conversion had begun. As he left Pete to his gawking, he came upon the voice actor's panel where he saw John DeLancie (The actor for the Q-like Discord) talking to a man with short brown hair and wearing a red shirt with a nine tailed fox on it.

"Wait, so you really came all this way from Japan just to see me?"

Hello? You're my idol man!

"W-Well, t-that's very flattering. I guess." John stuttered out, not quite sure how to take that.

Upon looking closer, Steve noted the man had fox like eyes as well and he groaned to himself mentally before clearing his throat.

What are you doing here?

The "Unknown" man shook his hand quite heavily.

Hello! Hello! So nice to meet a fellow Brony!

Drop the act Inari. I know it's you.

Inari cursed and swore in Japanese before with a snap of his fingers (Steve could guess why) he turned back into his normal form, only this time his kimono was white instead of red.

How'd you know it was me? I was trying so hard! Inari whined.

Well, the demeanor, the worship of John... The shirt... and the eyes. Steve deadpanned. Now leave the man alone. I'm sure John has better things to do.

Oh, and like you wouldn't do the same if you met Kathleen Barr.

S-Shut up.

Meanwhile, walking through the crowded convention was a figure, dressed in a green hooded robe with golden Japanese characters on it. He was attracting looks from everyone, with whispers of "Who's he?" to shouts of "Cool costume man!" as he strod through the crowds. He came to one specific table, and under his hood, the figure smirked even while humming the Dazzlings' "Under Our Spell". Exactly what he was looking for. Placing talismans on the plush ponies and figurines on it, he smirked before vanishing away in a green flash. Meanwhile, Steve and Inari had met up with Pete.

Alright, what's he doing here?

Apparently, he's a Brony and he worships Discord and John DeLancie. Thinks they're the same guy. Found him harrassing the poor guy.

You've gotta be... Even Gods like this show?

Heard it's very popular among the Asgardians. Just a rumor though. Completely unconfirmed. And for the record, I was not "Harassing" Discord as you say. He actually seemed to be enjoying a conversation with a fellow mischief god.

Steve slapped a palm to his face.

See what I mean?

Just then Tara Strong walked up.

"Hey guys! I heard there were some superheroes at the con, but I didn't believe it until now."

Pete leaned over to Steve and whispered Is it just me or does she sound like Raven or Harley Quinn? even while Steve sung I'm the S to the T to the E to the Ve to the E! I'm Stevealicious! making Tara bust out laughing and say "Good one!" before doing the Twilight version of the song along with Inari and Steve while Pete groaned in embarrassment and muttered "Oh dear God, is it too much to ask for you to just kill me now?"
Later, after waving Tara goodbye Pete and Steve came across a strange bunch, one side arguing "Luna is Best Princess!" while another cried "Celestia blazes bright!"

What the...?

Steve groaned.

Lunar and Solar Republics. Don't ask. Just don't.

Meanwhile, Tara was walking up to her panel when she ran into a lavender pony with wings and a horn. She gaped.

"Um... Hello?"

"I'm you but... you're here and... Oh this is completely impossible!" Tara stammered out, perhaps acting more like the pony in front her than she realized but there you have it, Tara Strong was looking face to muzzle with her character, Twilight Sparkle. Then Tara's face gained a inquiring look.

"How'd you even get here anyways?"

"I... I don't know actually. I... I was in the Golden Oaks Library reorganizing some books after one of Rainbow's surprise entrances (Tara actually chuckled at this, that so sounded like a situation from FIM.) then suddenly I was here in a flash of red light. Just like that. Where am I anyways?"

"Well... I don't know how to tell you this, but... You're in the human world."

Twilight's jaw dropped.

"...A-And maybe you're at a convention for fans of you and the rest of your friends?"

Twilight's jaw dropped even further to the floor, if that were possible. It was right about then a certain trio ran up and had their own jaws collectively drop. Well, everyone except Inari's.

(Okay... Okay... Keep calm and try not to freak out that your third favorite character in the show is here right in front of you.)

Okay, I think I can state for everyone what the HELL is going on... around... here... Pete shouted before his voice took on a slower tone as he slowly realized what must have just happened and whirled his head around to face Inari in a fearsome glare.

INARI!

Okay okay, you got me. I admit it. I may or may not have brought Moonlight Twinkle here just for a bit of fun and mayhem.

"It's Twilight. Sparkle. Got it?" Twilight growled, punctuating her name to make sure Inari got the point.

You say to-mat-to, I say to-may-to. Inari replied cheerfully, brushing off the odd situation as if it was an everyday thing for him.

(Great, another Discord.)

Then, there came a loud explosion and the sound of people screaming. Pete and Steve immediately summoned their swords.

Okay, just for the record, I want to state I was not responsible for that one at all.

The trio, along with Twilight rushed to the other side of the convention center only to find themselves with a sight Twilight only knew all too well. In front of them was a huge black furred unicorn with a fang like horn with a bloody red tip, billowing black mane, demonic green eyes, fangs for teeth, and to top it all off, he was covered head to hoof in gleaming silver armor with a billowing red fur cape. This was the Lord of Nightmares, bringer of shadows, enslaver of the Crystal Empire...

"King Sombra." Twilight growled. "B-But I thought you were vanquished!"

"Oh my dear Princess..." Sombra said in a soft spoken tone. "I was, but never underestimate the power of Chaos."

Everyone's heads whirled around to face Inari.

Okay, seriously, how can you blame moi for this one? I may have lied, misinterpreted, loopholed, and generally caused mischief and mayhem (Twilight's eyes narrowed, that sounded exactly like something Discord would say.) throughout my many years of living, but really, do you really expect me to bring a force of absolute evil, pathetic as he was, here and put people's lives in danger?

"I AM NOT PATHETIC!"

Actually, you kinda were. You did get beaten by somepony physically throwing the embodiment of Love at you.

Pete busted out laughing at this. The Power of Love, seriously?

Hey, speaking of patheticness, how bout that ending to season five? Starlight and her reasoning behind her going completely Master level psycho and changing timelines, all because her friend got his Cutie Mark and she didn't?

A-Actually, I kinda felt sorry for Starlight.

Traitor! Inari bellowed at Steve, pointing a finger at him in accusation.

Uh, guys, big scary nightmare horse thingy right here in front of us?

Oh, right...

With that, the foursome readied their respective magicks and got ready to fight. But Sombra had his own trick up his sleeves.

"Shadowbolts, to me!"

With that, ten to twenty pegasi wearing black bodysuits with yellow lightning bolts down the center and wearing flying goggles flew towards them. It wasn't long before the Shadowbolts struck. One rammed Pete square in the chest and sent him flying into the storyboardists and artist's panels, landing him right next to Sabrina Alberghetti AKA Wild Fire as she was known in-show. Meanwhile, Steve slashed at another Shadowbolt, causing him/it/her(Steve didn't honestly bother to check) to dissipate into smoke. Nearby, Twilight blasted two more Shadowbolts out of the air with two magical blasts from her horn before taking to the sky and grabbing a third with her hooves and throwing it into a collection of custom figurines set up on a table. Inari held off King Sombra, horn clashing with his Khakkhara staff until a whip originating from Sombra's shadow itself grabbed him by the leg and threw him into Steve. But by this time Pete had recovered and went right for Sombra himself, slashing away at him with his Elemental Blade, green arcs of energy emanating from every strike, but Sombra had put up a shield of smoke to block the strikes.

"Well, when I said "Let Chaos Reign!" at the start of the Con, I certainly wasn't expecting this!"

Pete then had to flip backwards to avoid dark crystal spikes sent directly towards him jutting up from the floor even as he thought (Okay, that's a new one.) and pulled out his energy pistols and fired several blasts and they hit Sombra making him stumble back.

"You will be tortured horribly in so many ways you cannot possibly imagine for that insult! Nopony lays a blow on King Sombra, NOPONY!"

(Okay, seriously? This guys is from a little girls show? He scares even me! I can't imagine the girls' reactions to him!) Pete thought before mentally groaning as he imagined Steve's smug face. That alone was more painful then being hit by a Shadowbolt. Speaking of Steve, he'd created a blue pentagram/Devil's Trap above him, and fired scattering blasts all throughout the Convention Hall hitting quite a few Shadowbolts and turning them back into the misty smoke from whence they'd came.

(Now for Sombra.)

Steve charged towards Sombra, sword charged and crackling with electrical energy, but Sombra stomped his hoof and more crystal spikes jutted up from the ground but Steve just cut right through any sent towards him and leaped in the air intent on slashing off Sombra's horn, but was only knocked backwards into the ground by two Shadowbolts after Sombra let out a cry of "Sic him boys!" Twilight and Pete came at Sombra from the sides, ready to fire off energy and magic blasts, but Sombra just teleported out of the way, and the blasts hit both Pete and Twilight knocking them both unconcious for the time being while Steve thought (Oh boy, Pete just knocked out the main character of the show. Yep, he's going to get it from my fellow bronies.)

The remaining Shadowbolts all laughed in unison.

"King Sombra cannot be defeated. King Sombra conquers all." They all said in the exact same voice.

(Okay, now that's just plain creepy.)

"How bout next time you don't miss, okay? MORONS!" Sombra roared before chuckling. "I was the king and conquerer of the Crystal Empire for hundreds of years till those two blasted Royal siblings of hers came along and dethroned me. I have years of experience fighting off opponents, and I really don't think two very young magic users, even if one is an Alicorn can defeat me. Shame really, how that species has fallen."

Suddenly he was hit with a chair thrown by none other than Tara Strong.

"You know, for a king, you really talk too much. I can see why the Royal Sisters dethroned you. You're really rather annoying."

Steve smirked even as he got up off the floor. Yep, Tara was definitely their Queen for a reason.

"Really, a mere hairless ape thinks she can defeat me? I've never seen something so amusing."

Uh, ahem?

Sombra turned to see Inari, Khakkhara staff in hand and Golden Dragon Sword in the other.

You know, I've really rather come to like these hairless apes as you call them. Sorry, but your destruction of voice actors will have to be postponed for today.

"Oh, I'll destroy those apes alright... Or maybe enslave them like I did with those Crystal Ponies, haven't decided yet, but you, I KNOW I'll definitely destroy and scatter your molecules so far that you won't be ever be able to piece yourself back together, God or not!"

Now we're just talking about the metaphysical. I'm not God, I'm not Him, I'm just a god. As in plural. As in there's more than one of me? Get your facts right.

"More than one of you? Great, so that means there are others just as bothersome as you."

Nope, I'll always be the most annoying. Inari chirped cheerfully, sounding actually rather proud of himself. Even got an award for it.

Sombra blinked, unable to come up with a suitable response for that for once. Eventually he regained the power of speech and just yelled "Shadowbolts, get him and just shut him up!"

"Yes Master." They responded in that monotone voice of theirs.

...Steve's right, that is just creepy. And this is coming from the guy who knows the god who preforms the Tsukuyomi. ...Never understood why she named it after herself. Gotta be the only god with a bigger ego than me. Never thought I'd say that.

"Do you always have a tendency to ramble?"

Only every other Saturday.

The Shadowbolts attacked, and Inari snapped his fingers for the perfect battle music to fight them to, in this case being a swing version of the Living Tombstone's "Discord". Inari knocked away one with his staff before seeing two more charge at him, which he teleported away in a flash of red light. One came at him from behind but Inari whirled around just in time to bifurcate it down the middle and turn it back into smoke. A few moments later, all of the Shadowbolts were just smokey clouds of... Well, smoke.

And to once again repeat my good friend Steve, now for you.

Inari strode forwards, but suddenly clutched his leg in pain as golden blood dripped out of a wound on it and the Fox Kami fell to the floor. It seems one of the Shadowbolts had nicked him with one of their wings while his attention was focused on another.

"Look at you, you can't even get up off of the floor, you pathetic excuse for a god. You cannot possibly defeat me alone, although I would be very amused to see you try. But it's all useless in the end. I'm the daringest devil you ever met, love."

"Who says he's alone?"

Steve, Pete and Twilight had recovered and were now by Inari's side, with Pete helping Inari up with one arm around his shoulder.

"You really think you can defeat me, with your weak magic? Don't make me laugh."

Want to test that theory? I'm the Great and Powerful Steve, (Somewhere in the multiverse, a certain azure stagemare sneezed, and growled. Somepony, somewhere was stealing her thing!) apprentice to Doctor Fate and Zatanna Zatara.

My name is Pete, mad scientist extraordinaire and the Element of Earth!

"Twilight Sparkle, Princess of Friendship and personal student to Princess Celestia, Regent of the Sun!"

And you know me, Inari, master of mischief, the flame's heart and god of medicine, wealth and foxes.

Togther, the foursome fired their respective powers. Twilight, a beam of purple magic, Pete, boulders, Steve, a blast of lightning, and Inari a tornado of flame from his mouth. There was a great explosion in front of them that made their hair blow in the resulting wind, but when the smoke cleared, all that was left was a slightly singed Sombra plushie.

Well, that's that. Now who's up for Chinese?

Steve looked around and sighed sadly. Bronycon was completely wrecked. Tables lay in ruins, custom content smashed and walls had holes in them from magic blasts.

How... How are we going to repair all of this?

And then he had a idea, and turned to their resident god of wealth, who sighed in resignation.

Alright, alright, I suppose I'll dig some money up from my coffers and donate the gold needed to repair this. But don't ask again, okay?

And so, Bronycon, despite the madness that had just ensued, went on. Now it was time for the yearly concert. Mandopony had just finished his song "Spitfire" and to everyone's surprise, Inari took the stage, and with a snap of his fingers, created a cherry red Gibson Les Paul in his hands.

You can be a goody two shoes till the end of your days, you can listen to them say "Crime never pays."

You can follow every law and be the big black bat, (Inari snaps his fingers and shows a poster of the Mare-Do-Well behind him) but why would ya want to? Ha! Where's the fun in that? Where's the fun in that?

So smile, darn ya, smile! Everybody loves to grin. Follow my lead, recite my creed, and smile, darn ya smile.

Don't listen to the dullards who say life is a bore, those fuddie-duddies always spoil my fun. (Here he shows all the times him and Kingsley were getting on each other's nerves) That's why I strive to eradicate gloom. It's from that itch, I took a switch and chose my nom de plume... Inari!

And then to Inari's shock, John started to join in. It had be a dream come true for him.

"There's the fun in that! There's the fun in thaaaat! So smile, darn ya smile, everybody ought to laugh. And so with glee, I do decree, just smile darn ya smile!

So when living gets a little rough, and you find it hard to cope, I'm the fox with just the stuff, to fill you full of hope! So smile, darn ya, smile. Everybody needs a clown.

"Now with one stroke, the final joke! Just smile, darn ya, smile! Darn ya, smile! Everypony loves to grin! Follow my lead, recite my creed and smile, darn ya smmmmmmiiilllle!"

Steve clapped and cheered along with everyone else until he felt a hand on his shoulder and then his head turned to meet Kathleen Barr's.

"You know, your friend's not such a bad singer. And I saw that magic use. Pretty impressive. Great and Powerful I might say."

With that she walked off.

...I just met Kathleen Barr! My life is now offically complete.

And then, he fainted dead away with a very distinct thud. And so the con ended, but not without one last little treat for Pete. Every year, every Con goer gathered outside the convention hall for a concert given by the Ashleigh Ball and her band Hey Ocean!. People sat on the steps and eagerly awaited for the music to begin. While this was happening, Steve ran up and whispered a song request into Asheigh's ear. She smiled, and nodded before they began Pinkie Pie's Smile Song.

"Hey, cause I love to make you smile, smile, smile,
it fills my heart with sunshine all the while cause all I really need's a smile..."

Steve smirked as he noted Pete mumbling along the lyrics of the music. Pete would never admit it, but the song was actually pretty peppy and charming, and he was becoming a Brony. Steve smiled, this may very well have gone down as the strangest Bronycon in history, but also probably one of the best. The very next day, at Pete's home in LEGO City, before Steve was even up, Pete found himself walking to the Xbox 360 and turning on Netflix. As he took a quick look around to make sure nobody he knew was watching, he chose a very familiar show and began to watch the first episode.

"My Little Pony, Aaaaah, Aaaah...."

So that's that, Steve finally got to go to Bronycon and Pete actually got converted to being one, even as Inari brought a character from the TV show into our world, and somebody still unknown brought King Sombra and the Shadowbolts to life to cause havoc. But all in all, the day was saved and Pete got the experience of a lifetime. Next time, the final battle with the Legion of Doom! Love and Tolerate my friends, and keep calm and Brony on!
