//------------------------------// // Chapter 5: Heroes Assemble! // Story: Captain Underpants and the Sinister Storms Of the Storm King // by Big Imagination E //------------------------------// Back with the gang they left the treehouse and began walking to the castle to see how the party is going. But suddenly they saw dark storm clouds coming in and it started to thunder like crazy! "What is going on?! I thought there be beautiful weather!" Harold said. But Tempest knew where those storm clouds were coming from and knew only one person that would be making them that bad. "Boys? I know who is making those. The Storm King has returned." Tempest answered. "The Storm King?! But I thought he was sealed in stone for eternity!" Bon Bon wondered. "I thought so too. But I think someone brought him back and has joined forces with him to destroy Equestria. The question is who?" Tempest asked. "I don't know what maniac would do this!" Lyra said. "Well we gotta find out who caused this and stop it! I think we should call Sunset Shimmer, assemble the team and get Captain Underpants and stop this madness!!" George declared. "He's right! We'll get Sunset and then we assemble the team! Let's do it!" Lyra agreed. So everyone followed the plan. The first thing they did was send a message to Sunset Shimmer asking for her help and after a few minutes she agreed to help and came to Equestria. Next the two ran into the treehouse and got their costumes. Once they did that they landed on the ground and headed off. Then they all went around and got Mr Meaner and he brought his Stinky Kong mech, and Ms Ribble and she became Wedgie Woman but for heroism and they agreed to help out. Then they saw Mr Krupp walking around and the boys knew who else to call. So with a snap of their fingers in no time Krupp spun around and all his clothes came off and turned into Captain Underpants! "Tra la laaaaa!!" Captain Underpants said. "We are so glad you're here Captain Underpants. There's another evil doer on the loose and he's causing storms to appear. We need your help to stop him." George explained. "Ooh that's bad. But never fear! Whatever threat we face we face it together as a team! Let's do this! Tra la laaaaa!!!" Captain Underpants replied. Soon everyone headed in the direction Captain Underpants was going and headed straight for the castle to confront this new villain. After a few hours they arrived at the castle. They approached the front gate and Mr Meaner broke the door down and headed to the throne room. Once in there they all looked around for the new threat. "Alright creep! Where are you?" Mr Meaner shouted. "Come out and no funny business!" Sunset said. "Oh but I wouldn't dare try any funny business. After all it would seriously go on my perfect school record." A voice said. Then they all heard footsteps coming and in the light they saw Melvin in his Robo-Jogger and gasped. "Melvin?!" Everyone said in surprise. "Haha! It's so nice of you too remember me! Especially you George and Harold!" Melvin replied. "Your the one causing all the storms!?" Bon Bon asked. "Oh it's not just me. My partner is the one really making them." Melvin answered. Then out of the light we see the Storm King walking to them and everyone was in shock. But none so more than Tempest. Then it hit her as she realized what happened! "So your the one that revived the Storm King!!" Tempest accused. "Yes I was. And I managed to kidnap your precious princess of friendship and her friends! And as a bonus I drained their magic and powered my suit!" Melvin replied. "You monster! Kidnapping Twilight and her friends and draining their magic has crossed the line! Let them go and return their magic!" Bon Bon yelled. "I don't think so ponies! Not until I get my revenge on George and Harold!!" Melvin demanded. "We won't let you have it! Release Twilight now brat!" Mr Meaner said. "Lemme think. No." Melvin bluntly said. "Alright are we done arguing? Cause you done enough Melvin. Now wait til I give the signal." The Storm King told him. Melvin nodded and sat down on the throne of Luna and the Storm King looked at the heroes. "Well well. You must be George and Harold. I bet you were the ones that made this comic. Real creative." The Storm King said holding the comic. "Yes. But what are you planning Storm King?" Harold asked. "Oh nothing much. Just a simple takeover of Equestria. See last time I tried Tempest betrayed me and and I ended up in stone because of her." The Storm King growled. "I had to do what's right! And since I learned friendship I'm never joining you back you evil Storm King!!!" Tempest yelled. "Oh shut up traitor!! Anyways since I now have the magic in my staff I will summon all sorts of storms and hurricanes to destroy Equestria. But the only thing that I gotta take care of is you. Melvin clear this rubbish out." The Storm King demanded. Melvin obeyed the Storm King as he prepped his blaster and aimed at the heroes. He charged up and shot a beam of rainbow lasers and blasted them out of the castle. They screamed as they went flying in the sky. After they disappeared into the unknown Melvin smirked at his work. "Goodbye George and Harold." Melvin said evily. We cut to a place next to a waterfall where the heroes landed after they got blasted away. They all got up and recovered from that impact. "Man. What a landing." Mr Meaner said. "You're right. But this is bad. Melvin stole the magic from Twilight and her friends. And with the Storm King by his side they are unstoppable. We need to stop them." Sunset replied. "She's right. But Melvin won't be easy to stop. What can we do?" Bon Bon asked. "Maybe if we can find a powerful artifact to counter his machine we can stop him and the Storm King." Harold offered. "Great idea sidekick! We'll head to Canterlot and get an artifact there!" Captain Underpants responded. "Actually I have a better idea. To stop Melvin and the Storm King we will need the most powerful one of all. The Star Diamond of Immortality. It's located somewhere past the Badlands in a place called the Glacier Mountains." Tempest said. "But that means we have to leave Equestria." George realized. "Yes. But it's the only way to save The Mane Six. I regretted joining the Storm King and I won't make the same mistake again." Tempest said determined. Soon everyone came to an agreement to find the Diamond Star of Immortality and stop the duo. "Well if you think that it will help us then I'm willing to trust you." Sunset responded. "Thank you. Come everyone. We must be head to the Glacier Mountains at once." Tempest said. Then everyone followed where Tempest is leading them. George and Harold will now face the biggest challenge of their lives and help everyone obtain the Diamond Star of Immortality and save Equestria from Melvin and the Storm King. This will be the biggest fight of their lives and their wives are certainly going to help them.
