//------------------------------// // Chapter 8: The Heroes Return // Story: Captain Underpants and the Sinister Storms Of the Storm King // by Big Imagination E //------------------------------// Back in Equestria things were not looking good since Melvin and the Storm King took over. Melvin built some robots patrolling the castle and the Storm King was busy conjuring up a tornado. With Melvin he went to the powerless Mane Six and smiled wicked while inside his Robo-Jogger. “So princess. How does it feel to know when you’re pathetic heroes are never coming back to save you or your friends?” Melvin asked. “Shut your mouth geek! You’ll have high pain to pay once we get free!” Rainbow shouted. “I simply cannot even imagine why you’re trying to destroy George and Harold! But you won’t get away with this!” Twilight shouted too. “The boys will find us, set us free and beat your stupid brain out brat!” Applejack snapped. “Forget it! They can’t even make it back here! And since they can’t you will watch them suffer in pain. Of being back in the calibrated drone like beehive again!!” Melvin said. “You leave them alone!!” Rarity replied. “Or what? Without your magic it would be so easy for me to make sure that there is no harmony anymore! And once the Storm King brings his tornado in he will destroy all of Equestria and I will rebuild it in my own image!!” Melvin plotted. “You wouldn’t do that!” Fluttershy worried. “Oh but I would. Just watch me after the tornado’s destruction.” Melvin snarled. Back with the heroes they were finally at Canterlot but had to stay hidden since Melvin’s robots are patrolling the area. “Looks like Melvin’s been busy. How else did he build that many robots?” Harold asked. “Just like always he just had to do something to prevent us from achieving our goals. I can’t believe that I thought that Melvin could be so diabolical and so stupid!” Mr Meaner said. “Quiet Meaner. We don’t want the robots spotting us.” Lyra whispered. “Sorry Lyra. I’m just so angry.” Mr Meaner replied. “We all are. But one way or another we will save Twilight and her friends.” Bon Bon determined. “But there’s one problem. Melvin and the Storm King have them held hostage in the throne room of the castle. And the entrance is guarded by his robots. How can we get inside?” Sunset asked. “There’s only one way to get inside.” Tempest answered. “And what’s that Tempest?” George asked. “We fight our way in. And once all his robots are gone we can get to the throne room.” Tempest replied. “If this is our only chance to save Twilight and her friends from those two then I’m willing to take the risk. Let’s go bust some machines.” Ms Ribble said. The heroes all nodded in agreement and went out of their hiding spot and proceeded to take out Melvin’s robots. Back in the castle we see Melvin watching the Storm King still trying to conjure his tornado to destroy Equestria. But then he saw the heroes destroying his robots and was really upset. "What?! How is this possible?! I blasted them away!!" Melvin shouted. "You can never blast them away Melvin. You can attack us and we may fall. But Equestria will still stand, united in friendship. And they won't stop until the boys defeat you, no matter how many ponies you take down!" Twilight declared. But that only made Melvin laugh. "Do you honestly think that this friendship nonsense will save you? Please that never works! But you know what does? My blaster." Melvin said as he actived it. Back with the heroes they were on a roll destroying all those robots. It lasted for a while til Tempest kicked the head off of the last robot and they all breathed heavy. "Ok. That's the last robot. Now we can get in the castle." Tempest said. "Good. But there's a problem. Melvin and the Storm King have taken over the castle. I think they're hold up in the throne room causing all that chaos. No one can in there!" Sunset reminded her. "Well we have to stop them! We gotta find a way inside." George said determined. Then out of the blue Captain Underpants spotted Pinkie's huge cannon and had an idea. "Hey sidekicks! Maybe we can use that huge cannon to blast ourselves in the castle." Captain Underpants suggested. "Good thinking Captain Underpants!! Everyone hop in the cannon and let's get in the castle!!" Mr Meaner said. Soon everyone got inside the cannon and when it went off the heroes went flying all the way to the balcony where they see Melvin about ready to shoot his blaster. But before he could all the heroes crashed into him and Melvin screamed as he crashed into a wall breaking the glass on his Robo-Jogger. The girls were happy to see them again. "Guys!" The Mane Six said in unison. "You girls okay?" Ms Ribble asked. "Yeah. But were drained from our magic. Nonetheless we are so happy to see you again! We knew you come for us!" Fluttershy answered. "Never fear ponies! We've all come to save the day! We'll have you out in no time!" Captain Underpants shouted. The Mane Six cheered knowing that they will be be saved. "Yeah! But before we can we gotta take care of that brat and his partner." Mr Meaner said pointing at Melvin. Melvin picked himself up off the floor and looked angry at the heroes. "You imbeciles!! You broke the glass! And now you're gonna pay for it!" Melvin shouted. "We ain't paying for nothing you little spoiled brat! You are done. We are taking you down and your little Storm King buddy. And you will pay the consequences of your actions." Mr Meaner said angry. "You caused many lives to be in danger and we won't stand by while you make innocent ponies suffer." Sunset added. "And since you threaten our wives back then we will make sure you don't have the intelligence ever again. It's time to end this Melvin." Harold finished. "Oh now you and George are married? Wow that's a new low even for you." Melvin rudely said. "Hey!! Don't you dare speak trash about their marriages that way!! They are happy together and we will throw you in the dirt once were done!" Ms Ribble said enraged. They all the heroes got in battle positions and prepared to fight Melvin in hopes of taking him down. "Oh I see. You wanna fight for a chance to save Equestria huh? Well applied alert: I will win. And when I do I swear that you'll never see the light of harmony or friendship again! Instead you'll see me taking charge and I will force George and Harold to do my homework slavery!" Melvin said. "We won't let you do that Melvin! You leave our husbands alone!!" Bon Bon shouted. "I agree with Bon Bon! Melvin we are all gonna kick your butt!" Sunset agreed. "I can't wait to see you try." Melvin said determined. Then he got in a battle position and was ready to fight in his Robo-Jogger. Everything was at stake here. Can our heroes stop Melvin or will he turn everything in a calibrated drone like beehive? Let's pray and hope that the heroes can take Melvin out and the Storm King before all the harmony is done for. The final battle is approaching near.
