Many ponies have gathered outside of a burning building as they look on in worry. Inside the building, a young colt and his mother were trapped in a room with no way out. She kept her son away from the flames before a piece of wood nearly fell on them. They looked up and saw the ceiling was about to collapse. It soon came down as she hugged her son tight, only for them not to feel the impact of the following ceiling. They opened their eyes and saw a red metallic figure with an hourglass symbol on his chest holding up the ceiling. He has two containers filled with water on his head and has black mask-like markings around his green eyes. He has two tubes of water reaching from a respirator where his mouth should be to his back, and his forearms are filled with water. He has black three-fingered hands and two black toes on each foot.
"Who and what are you?" The colt asked the red figure in awe.
"I'm here to help." He replied before he tossed the ceiling away and aimed his arms right at the fire. Water was then blasted at the ends of his wrist as he began to put out the fire in the room. He then looked back at the colt and his mother for a gesture to follow him. They reluctantly did so as they followed him out of the room while he put out more flames along the way. "Quick, this way!" He called out while going to the stairs but they collapsed before they could even go down them. "Uh… on second thought, that way!"
They turned to the window as the metallic figure fired a water blast, busting the window open as a water tornado spinner as the crowd watched as the red figure, the mother, and the colt appeared around them as they looked in awed. “I’m sure you all want to thank me personally but really it’s all in a day's work for Overflow, your friendly neighborhood alien her--” He trailed off when he saw something the colt was holding. “No way, is that a gold Celestial Knight trading card?! Where'd you get it?! I've been searching all over for one of those!"
“Something I managed to save in the fire,” The colt answered as he turned and showed it to him. “It was a prize I got from Celestial Knight cereal."
"Overflow!" Twilight called out as she and the others were in the carriage. "The fire was only just a diversion to cover up a bank robbery! The bad guys are getting away!"
Overflow looked around as he looked at the colt with the cards before turning back to Twilight. “Uh, I knew that,” He said as he quickly got onto the carriage.
On the road, some stallions wearing ski masks were riding on their own carriage at high speed before they saw a carriage behind them. Twilight is still steering the carriage before she turns to Overflow. “Good thing you’re not Heatblast, or you would’ve burned the carriage down.” She mentioned.
"Well, not exactly my fault he's hot, although Heatblast is what I was going for." Overflow complained. “Sometimes this watch is hard to figure out.”
“You think the thing called fighting fire with fire isn’t always better." Flash told his cousin. "But Overflow is a better choice to put out the fire."
"Yeah, you got ten alien heroes in that watch of yours and you would rather be the one with a flaming butt?" Smolder questioned him.
"Jealous." Overflow muttered, causing Smolder to let out a grunt before she breathed flames on the seat he was sitting in.
“Hey! No fighting!” Twilight scolded as Overflow quickly put out the flames of his seat. They continued to chase after ther obbers as Overflow quickly aimed his water blasters and shot straight at them, causing the carriage to slid and trip.
“Strike!” Overflow exclaimed as the carriage steered out of control as the robbers screamed and crashed into the wall as they groaned before Overflow came up to them. “Unless you punks want to get completely drowned or soaked so much you’ll drip for weeks, hooves against the wall.” He ordered as the robbers nodded as they got out of their carriage and put their hooves against the walls as the watch symbol started beeping red. “You punks picked the wrong day to be bad…” He said before a bright flash appeared. “Stallions.”
One of the stallions was confused as to why the alien suddenly sounded young before he turned around and saw Helix in its place. "Hey, it's just a colt! Get the bits!" He told his partner before Helix noticed he was back to normal and saw that the watch had timed out.
“Wow. Time sure flies when you’re having fun.” Helix said with a nervous smile. “I-I’ve decided to let you guys off with a warning this time.” He said as he was about to walk off, but some officers came in front of them. “Whoa!”
“Freeze!” A unicorn officer exclaimed while aiming his horn at the two thugs.
“They’re all yours, officers,” Helix said as the robbers looked nervous. “Now, I know y’all want to thank me, but--”
“Step aside, son. This isn’t playtime,” The officer said firmly as he grabbed one of the thugs.
"Play time? But I'm the one who captured them." Helix told the officers as they dragged the thugs away. "No fair, I'm the hero! Aw man…"
"Hey, at least you caught the bad guys." Sandbar mentioned while patting Helix's back. "That's a win at least."
"And we all agreed to keep your powers a secret.” Applejack reminded him.
"Plus, I've been working on a little superhero costume for you just in case you time out in the middle of a crowd." Rarity mentioned.
“I know, but sometimes I wish to get some recognition.” Helix said sadly. “I mean, you ponies are heroes in public. It’s just not fair,” He muttered.
“Hey, come on, Helix,” Flash said while placing a hoof on his shoulder. “Give it time. We agree to keep your hero thing a secret so that nothing bad happens to you. So be glad you did some good here.” He said before Helix looked down in thought.
In a rundown apartment, a landlord knocked on the door. “Yo, Test! I know you’re in there! Open up!” He demanded but got no response. The stallion then used his pass key to open the door and enter the place and saw many critters and animals in cages as he walked around and smell the air as he cringed in disgust. “Phew. Smells like a zoo in here,” He muttered as a shadow figure appeared behind him as he looked at a frog hopped in its cage before he turned and screamed as he took a breath, revealing just Test, who is a pale unicorn stallion with gray mane and tail while wearing rags.
“How did you get in?!” Test questioned.
“Pass key,” The landlord answered while fixing his tie. “I am still your landlord, remember? Maybe since your rent is months past due."
"All of my funds go into all of my research." Test told his landlord before gesturing to the door. "Now get out! You're disturbing me and my research!"
"Heh, looks like you were disturbed long before I got here, pal." The landlord said before he looked at Test. "Now listen here, you and all of your animal friends will be out in the street if you don't pony up the bits."
“Pony up,” Test said with an amusing smirk before he picked up the frog. “Interesting choice of phrases. You must be an animal lover like that pony of the Element of Kindness. Then you’re gonna love this.” He started as he put the frog down and picked up a helmet with two horns sticking out.
The landlord then laughed when he saw it. “What’s that? Are you a member of the moose lodge or something? Ha-ha!” He laughed.
“This is my transmodulator." Test told him. “Phase number one, it can mutate animals at the genetic level to evolve them to their fullest potential. Observe." He turned the knob on his chest before the horns on the helmet lit up red and zapped the frog on the floor.
The frog then grew bigger and had multiple eyes all over it’s body with two horns as the landlord screamed in fright before the mutated frog ate him and the landlord moved around in it’s mouth as Test watched in amusement.
“I’m sorry. I can’t hear you. Sounds like you have a frog in your throat,” Test mocked with a smirk. “Or is that the other way around!?” He laughed in amusement before the mutated frog spits out the landlord, which covered him in frog mucus before he lost consciousness. Test then held up a small piece of paper with a glare. "I'm so close to having what is rightfully mine, and for those to finally see my potential. All I need is a few lousy components to finish my work to bring it up to phase two!"
“So whatever your needs are, from manespray to state-of-the-art electronics you’ll find them under one roof at the grand opening of the district’s new Megamart!” A TV program got his attention which gave him a menacing grin.
"Ah, just what the doctor ordered.” He said to himself before looking at the mutated frog. “Looks like we're going shopping, my pet."
At the Megamart, the group decided to stock up on supplies as they were going through the aisles to get everything on the list. Helix stopped and found the cereal aisle before raising down and saw the box he was looking for. "The Celestial Knight cereal, with free Celestial Knight cards inside." He said to himself before a grin appeared on his face with an idea.
Meanwhile, Twilight levitated a few cans of beans into the shopping cart before checking it off the list. "Okay, next up is some marshmallows for camping, a few lanterns just in case we go spelunking in caves… am I forgetting anything?" She asked the others.
“Un, no offense, Twilight, but can you at least not go overboard with trying to make this the best road trip by planning or scheduling for once?” Rainbow questioned with a brow.
"It never hurts to be prepared for anything, Dash." Applejack told her as she came with a cart with some apples and other vegetables. "Now where do y'all think they have them fancy honey around here? Because my cousin said she came up with a very delicious recipe for apple fritters and it needs honey."
As the group continued on, Gallus noticed that Helix wasn't with them. "Hey guys, have you seen Helix around?" He asked his friends before they heard a familiar noise, a noise that can only be made by a certain watch.
“I think we know where he might be,” Sandbar said as they all went into the cereal aisle and saw many cereals either titled or opened as they gasped in surprise.
"Whoa, what do you think he's doing here?" Ocellus asked as they went down the aisle before they noticed a cereal box moving around.
"Oh man, not another black card." They heard a high-pitched voice complaint inside the box.
Smolder gave a brow before he reached into the box and grabbed something. “Got you.” She said as he pulled out Helix, who is a small alien-like amphibian frog with a green suit and a black line down the middle of it. “What are you doing as Greymatter? And why are you searching through these boxes?” She questioned firmly.
“Uh, looking for the gold Celestial Knight card. Duh!” Greymatter responded.
"What's a Celestial Knight?" Yona asked as she tilted her head.
"Only the greatest show ever to be shown on TV!" Greymatter told her. "I don't want to get into details about it, but I have almost all the trading cards except for the gold one. I got a tip from the kid I saved from that burning building that I can get one out of one of these cereal boxes."
"But you're supposed to be using your power to help others, not to be looking for some trading card." Silverstream reminded him as Greymatter rusted his head on his hand while giving a bored look.
Just then, a employee came in with a firm look as he cleared his throat, which made the Young Six turned to them as Smolder quickly hid Greymatter behind her back. “Just what do you all think you’re doing, children?” He questioned.
“Before you go ahead and say anything, we have nothing to do with this,” Gallus quickly said in defense about the messy aisle.
“Yeah, it was like this when we got here!” Smolder added.
“Well, somecreature is gong to have to pay for all this,” The employer said with a firm look, which made the Young Six frowned and growled.
Back with the Mane Six and Flash, they saw a cart full of cereal as Flash raised a brow. “So, why are we buying all this cereal?” He questioned the Young Six.
“Well, we would have only had to buy the one that I found the gold Celestal Knight card in if these guys hadn’t butted inwith their big noses!” Helix retorted while giving a glare at the Young Six.
"Uh hello, you're trashing the whole cereal aisle just to look for a stupid piece of cardboard." Smolder retorted.
"Look Helix, we get how much this card means to you but don't you think you're becoming a little obsessed with it?"” Twilight asked in concern.
"Okay, maybe I don't deserve a gold Celestial Knight card. I mean it's not like I rescued a bunch of ponies from a burning building or something like that!" Helix reminded them.
“Playing the superhero guilt?” Smolder asked with a brow. "That's pretty low."
"Hey, whatever it takes." He said with a shrug.
“On the bright side, we got all the cereal for the whole summer!" Pinkie Pie cheered as they continued on.
“Way to find the brightside, Pinkie.” Rarity said dully as they walked off before Helix saw something behind his eye.
“Whoa!” He called with wide eyes as he saw a Celestial Knight card stand. “Celestial Knight cards. A complete set!” He said in excitement as he walked up to the stand and saw the Celestial Knight cards, including one that he wants so badly.
"Um, do you mind if we go to the pet department?" Fluttershy asked the others. "I need to pick up some food for my animal friends in my Animal Sanctuary to send back."
"Of course, Fluttershy." Twilight replied with a smile before she looked at Ocellus. "Keep an eye on Helix just in case."
“Okay, but with that watch of his, it will be hard,” Ocellus said to them.
“He timed out, so he won’t be trouble.” Flash assured as they walked off. “Just make sure he doesn’t wreck anything else in the store.”
“Okay.” Ocellus said as she then walked up to Helix, who is still looking at the golden card.
“Someday, you’ll be all mine,” Helix said while still looking at the card.
“You’re that obsessed with that card, aren’t you?” Ocellus asked in wonder.
“Hey, I’m a huge Celestial Knight fan, Ocellus. I can’t help it I love these things,” Helix said in defense before the entire room shook and they turned and saw the television fritzing out and people are screaming.
“Uh, Helix, what’s going on?” Ocellus asked nervously.
“I don’t know.” Helix honestly said before they quickly duck behind a counter as the TV stand broke off, making the two look and see the mutant frog with Test riding it. “Whoa!”
"What is that?" Ocellus asked before Test got off the mutant frog with a large saddle bag before he went over to electronics to put them in. Helix had a determined look before he got up and glared at Test.
"Hey, what do you think you're doing?!" He called out to get his attention.
The mutant frog saw him as it sticked it tounge out. “Helix, look out!” Ocellus yelled as she pushed Helix aside as the tounge hit the boxes and it fell over them as they got out as Test walked up to them.
“Don’t be heroes, kids,” Test warned. “Just run along and play.” He added as Helix looked at his watch, but saw that it was still timed out from his cereal search.
"You're so lucky I can't go hero." He muttered before Test got back on his mutant frog.
“You’re regretting on using your watch earlier?” Ocellus muttered quietly.
“Yep. Should’ve thought this through.” Helix added as the security of the store came rushing by.
“Freeze!” One them yelled as the muntatn frog turned to them, which startled them.
“Get down off that giant… frog…” The second security stuttered as Test smirked down at them. “Put your hooves up!" The mutant frog then leaped over them and started going through the mall. "Uh, we got a grab and dash in electronics! Male, unicorn, gray, riding on a giant frog… or a toad! The second security guard spoke in his walkie-talkie. "Trust me you can't miss him!"
“He's heading for the Pet Department!" Ocellus called out before she and Helix chased after him.
At the Pet Department, the Mane Six, the rest of the Young Six, and Flash are looking around the pet section while Fluttershy looked at a hamster in a cage. “Oh, aren’t you the cutest thing,” She said with a cute tone.
“Fluttershy, you and your animal loving instincts.” Rainbow said in amusement, but then Test and the mutant frog came from behind them as they all gasped. “What in the name of Celestia!?” Test then fired up his machine and fired a red laser at the hamster when Rainbow pushed Fluttershy out of the way. They all then washed in horror as the hamster was getting mutated with three extra eyes and sharp teeth while it was growing out of its cage. “Okay, that’s just wrong!” She yelled.
Test wasn't done as he used his machine again and mutated a parakeet in a cage. It grew to giant size as it let out an ear piercing screech. "Arise to your full potential, my pets!" Test declared.
"Wh-What have you done to them?!" Fluttershy question in concern for the animals he mutated.
“I have made them better, my dear mare!” Test exclaimed with a maniacal laugh. "And know you'll try and stop me, so get them my pets!"
As Helix and Ocellus rushed up to them and saw the chaos when the Mane Six, the rest of the young six and Flash ran out of the department with the new hamster on their tail. “Oh man. What kind of pet food are they selling around here?” Helix asked in shock as they regrouped with the others.
“Behold the genius of Dr. Test!” Test exclaimed as his mutant animals came to his side. “Nothing can stop me from getting what I deserve. Mark my words! Today, I will make history… or should I say… prehistory?” He taunted.
"If you didn't go cereal diving, one of those aliens would be saving us from being hamster chow by now!" Smolder whispered harshly to Helix as the watch was still recharging.
“Can we not argue about it now?” Applejack questioned as she and the Mane Six and Flash stood in front of the younger group. “Because right now, we have a hideous varment to deal with.” She stated as the muntant hamster screech at them.
“I think you made him angrier.” Fluttershy said nervously as they all screamed and ran offas the mutant hamster followed them. They screamed before Helix duck and cover and saw his friends cornered as he looked and saw the watch still recharging before he saw something close by as he got an idea.
“I don’t need to go hero to stop an overgrown fur ball,” Helix said with a smile as he saw a scooter and puts on a helmet before throwing a ball at the hamster, gaining his attention as he took off with the hamster following him.
“Helix!” Flash cried out in concern for his cousin.
Helix zoomed across the store with the mutant hamster following as he dodge a strike from it, which the creature hits a shelf as it is titled. Helix jumped over it while avoiding a bite as he titled another shelve, causing the mutant hamster to get trapped.
"Hilex!” The others called out before they saw the hamster trapped under the shelves.
"Oh yeah, that's right, not even mutant hamsters can mess with Helix Watch!" He bragged before they felt rumbling and saw Test riding on his new frog behind them.
"Young fool, you cannot stop me!" Test declared. "Soon I will bring the Dark Ages back into the New Age!" He then jumped off of the frog and onto the mutant bird as it flew through the ceiling with the frog leaping behind it.
The employer and two security guards came to them. “You saved the store,” The employer said to Helix with a smile. “If there’s anything I can do to repay you… Anything you want, it's free with no charge!” After hearing that last part, he looked over at the Celestial Knight cards and gave a grin at what he had in mind.
"Well… now that you've mentioned it." Helix started before Flash picked him up and started to walk out. "Flash, I was finally going to score the gold Celestial Knight card!"
Flash put him down. “No time for that now, Helix. We have a giant parrot and a giant frog to follow.” He said as he walked off as the others followed as Smolder chuckled at Helix from that as he frowned.
“Yeah. When the world isn’t endangered, I can’t even get at least one good prize,” Helix grumbled with a frown as he followed the others.
The group went back to the carriage as Rainbow Dash was in the sky following the parrot Test was riding on. "Okay, now remember Dash, don't follow too close to it or you might get hurt! Twilight called out from the carriage.
“I know, I know.” Rainbow answered. “I may like a fight, but I’m not that crazy,” She stated.
"You know, this is way more exciting than I thought I was going to be.” Flash mentioned as he smiled at Twilight.
“Not exactly how I planned our trip, but, this is pretty interesting,” Twilight admitted before they turned and saw Helix leaning on his hoof while looking out the side. “Helix, what’s wrong?” She asked.
“I’ve saved an entire Megamart from being a giant hamster’s chew toy,” Helix reminded them with a frown. “And what do I get? Nothing. It’s not fair.”
"Look kiddo, being a hero isn't about others knowing you did something good, it's about you knowing you did something good.” Flash told him. "Being a hero is its own reward."
“Did you read the greeting cards at the Megamart?” Helix questioned his cousin with a brow.
Flash gave a sheepish look from that. “Well, uh, yes?” He said slowly as Helix groaned.
Ocellus then read a book as she found what she was looking for. “Hey, listen to this. I found a newspaper article about this Dr. Test guy. Five years ago, Dr. Test was a promising researcher in veterinary science. But it turns out he was doing all these genetic experiments where he was mutating animals. And when he didn't win some big prize called 'the Verities award' he flipped out and hasn't been seen since.” She read.
“Anything about this sound familiar, Helix?” Smolder asked with a smirk as Helix frowned.
“Don’t even compare me to that creep, Smolder,” Helix retorted before they heard the parrot shrieking. "I'm not the one who mutated a bunch of innocent pet animals."
“Hey, guys,” Rainbow called out. “Looks like the parrot is making a turn,” She said as it flew out of sight.
“Our Chairot can’t follow it in the sky.” Twilight said. “He could be going anywhere.”
“And he’ll turn the Dark Ages into a New Ages,” Rarity said dreadfully.
"Wait, that's it!” Helix spoke up with realization. "I think I know where he's heading!"
“The Natural History Museum.” He said as they arrived at the Museum and saw one of the mutant parrot's feathers on the ground.
"Looks like we're on the right track partners." Applejack said as she tilted her hat.
"Okay, everyone, they close and stay together." Twilight instructed. "We don't know what he's capable of." They soon went into the museum and followed the trail of Destruction to prehistoric animals and fossils. Smolder than noticed one of the electronic boxes Test stole from the mall and saw it was some sort of component box. They then heard the sounds of something being tuned in before they saw Test standing next to a mastodon.
He stopped whatever he was doing and let out an annoyed sigh. "I see you all are the persistent type, I hate the persistent type." He said as he turned his head to them.
"We all know about you and your freakazoid experiments, Dr. Test!" Flash called out. "Stand down now, it's over!"
"Oh, but it's only just begun." Test replied as he turned around to look at them. "See, I only needed a few components to push my work into phase two: The reanimation of dormant cells."
"Does this guy come with subtitles or something, because I have no idea what he just said." Rainbow whispered to the others.
"Breathing life back into that which has been long since lifeless!” Test continued before he took a few steps back from the mastodon. “Observe!" He then fired his invention onto the mastodon, which made the others gasp as its eyes glowed red and made a roar sound as it started moving. “Behold the genius that is Dr. Test!” He called as he rushed off.
"Now is a good time to go hero, Helix." Silverstream said nervously.
"I know that." He replied as he activated the watch. "I'll handle jumbo while you guys go after Test!" After picking the alien he wanted, the ring popped up before he slammed it down. A green light covered his body as the watch dug into a skin as it mutated his hoof into a hand before crawling up and onto his face where he closed his eyes for a second before opening them revealing they have changed to yellow with no pupils at all. His transformation wasn't done as a pair of extra arms emerged underneath his upper ones and his skin was turning red. Soon he was wearing a white shirt with a black line down the center, a black line on his head in between his four eyes while he had very large muscles. Helix had transformed into Fourarms as the group looked at him in shock. "Let's wrestle!" He spoke in a deep voice before charging right at the mastodon.
The others ran towards another hallway before they saw the muntant parrot in front of them as it shrieked. “Okay, does anyone have a giant birdseed?” Pinkie asked nervously as Flash took a staff from a warrior statue and twirl it around and whacked the parrot and swatted it’s head as it shrieked in pain and ran off.
“My cousin isn’t the only one with skills, you know,” Flash said to the others with a smirk. They soon went ahead before they found Test standing in front of a T-Rex skeleton. He looked back with a smirk before he fired a ray at the skeleton. Soon flesh started to form on the skeleton as the eyes formed and glowed red.
The T-Rex came to life, while most of it’s body is unfinished as it roared at the heroes, who went wide eyes by this. “If we weren’t in trouble, I would be amaze at how his device works really well,” Twilight muttered.
“Same,” Ocellus said fearfully.
“Great. Let’s hope you be amaze at seeing the inside!” Gallus yelled as the T-Rex roared at them,
Back with Fourarms, he was flung into a wall as he crashed before he saw the mastodon charging aat him. He quickly got up and punched him as he grabbed his tusk, but the mastodon tossed him up and crashed into another skeleton as he glared. “You are so going down, peanut!” Fourarms yelled as he stood up as the mastodon charged at him, but he quickly grabbed its snout and twirl it around very fast before he threw him into a wall as Fourarms groaned. “Oh, I think I’m gonna hurl.” He moaned as he tried to keep his lunch down.
Back with the others, they quickly duck down under the dinosaur tail as Test rides on the back of the T-Rex. "I like to stay and chat for a while, but I need to claim the award that I so richly deserve in the first place." He told them with a growl before the T-Rex burst through the wall and out into the streets.
They then heard the mutant parrot screech before it flew by and grabbed Yona. Yona screamed as she was taken off. “Yona!” Sandbar cried in worry.
“Helix!” Flash called out as Helix came rushing by. He then did a super jump after the parrot, Rarity looked down and saw the paper Test dropped while humming in thought.
Fourarms jumped high enough as he grabbed onto the muntant parrot’s back, making it shriek in pain as it turned and saw him. “No bye-bye for you.” He said as the watch started beeping while the parrot moved around, causing Fourarms to loose his grip and started falling as he hit the pavement before he timed out as he managed to get back up before he saw the muntant parrot flying away with Yona. “Yona!” He cried out before the Chariot came to his side.
“Somepony call for a taxi?” Pinkie quipped as Helix quickly got onto the Chariot and took off.
Yona gave a frightful look at how high she is. “Yona scared of hights. Yona would’ve spend fun with friends in summer.” She whimpered as the muntant parrot took off at a highest tower.
On the ground, Test is still riding his T-Rex as the creatures are screaming in fear as the T-Rex roared as Test sigh. “Ah, I do love my work.” He said as on the T-Rex’s foot was a Celestial Knight card stand, and one of the golden Celestial Knight card got stuck on one of it’s toes before continuing on.
At one of the tallest tower in the city, Yona clutched hard as she looked down at seeing how far she was to the ground before she quickly took out a jar filled with Spike’s dragon breath and a note paper. “Yona’s friend Spike said only use in emergency. This one is one.” She said as she quickly wrote down her letter and place it on the jar as it disappeared.
In the Chariot, Twilight is steering it as fast as she could while the others looked around. “No sign of Yona or the mutant parrot.” Sandbar said in concern.
“There can’t be that many places for a parrot the size of an elephant to roost.” Fluttershy noted.
"I think it's more than that." Rarity spoke up before showing them a piece of a newspaper article. "I believe the good doctor left this behind."
"'Dr. Vet Heart accepts verities award.'" Helix read the paper as it showed a unicorn mare with a white coat and blue mane accepting the award with Dr.Test in the background having an angry look on his face. "He's going to steal that award! We have to stop him!"
"But we gotta find where Yona is." Applejack said before Spike gave a belch and burped out a scroll.
Spike quickly grabbed the scroll and unraveled it to see it was from Yona. "Yona told where she is, turn left!" He instructed as Twilight made the carriage turn.
The mutant parrot was circling on the tallest building in the city while Yona was holding onto the spire on the top as tight as she could. "Yona can't hold on!" She cried out before she accidentally dropped the jar and it fell. The others soon arrived to see the jar smashed into pieces and saw Yona on top of the building.
"Oh no, Yona will be next if we don't do something!" Sandbar gasped when they looked up.
"That's going to be easier said than done with mutant poly circling her!" Spike pointed out before Helix looked at his watch and it was in the green.
"Not if I can help! It's hero time!" Helix declared before he activated the watch and slammed it down. A green light then developed as his hoof was being mutated into a claw with three fingers before horns formed on his head. His whole body became bigger as a black line formed on the top of his body. He had transformed into a red, humanoid manta ray-like alien with green eyes, black outlines on his face, yellow horns extending from his nose, gills underneath his arms, yellow patagia, and two black lightning bolt-like stripes coming down from his shoulders to the hourglass symbol on his chest. The others looked in awe at his transformation before he flapped his arms and quickly flew up into the sky.
Yona soon lost her grip and began to fall right before something caught her. "I got you!" A familiar voice said before she opened her eyes and saw who saved her.
"Manta ray!"
"Jetray!" He corrected her.
“Yeah. Okay.” Yona nodded. “Anyway, thanks for saving Yona.” She thanked him before she turned and saw the parrot flying behind them. “Incoming!”
“Hang on, Yona!” Jetway called as he flew around while dodging the mutant parrot as the others looked down and rushed into the building as Jetway dodged a talon. “Hey! Watch the talons there, Polly!” He retorted as he flew faster before shooting a laser from his tail. The mutant parrot dodged the laser as Yona felt dizzy from the rough flying.
“Oh, Yona’s gonna hurl,” Yona moaned.
“You spew on me, and you’d better have wings under that fur, Yona,” Jetray warned as he flew faster as he made a u-turn back to the building as Yona screamed.
The rest of the group came out of an elevator and over to a nearby window. Jetray saw both Applejack and Flash waving their hooves to them. "I can't shake cracker breath!" He told Yona before he looked at her. "You're going to have to trust me!"
"With what?!" Yoan questioned before Jetray quickly did a loop de loop to catch her with his bottom feet and fly over to where the others were.
“That’s it, Yona,” Sandbar said as he and Applejack stood there before Jetray flew by and they caught Yona before Jetray flew off. The mutant parrot was about to get them, but Jetray then shot green lasers from his eyes and tail, stunning the mutant parrot as it flew down to the floor with a painful shriek.
"Go, stop Dr. Test!" Twilight told Jetray. "We'll be alright!" Jetray nodded in response before he took off high in the air and did a sonic boom in the direction of where Test was heading.
At a building, Dr. Vet Heart is giving two stallions a tour of his trophies. “And here is my verities award. Of course, it was an honor just to be nominated with a distinguished group of scientists.” He said with a smile before the entire room shook as Test and the T-Rex came busting through the wall with a roar as the two stallions rushed off, leaving Dr. Vet Heart alone.
“Vet!” Test yelled ragefully. “I believe you have something of mine!” He then jumped down and picked up the trophy. “I like to thank the committee for this honor!” He said before the T-Rex walked closer to Dr. Vet Heart with a roar before Jetray came flying by and smacked his head.
The T-Rex retilated and whacked Jetray with its tail, smacking him down as Jetray rubbed his head. But when he turned his head, he saw the golden Celestial Knight card that came off from the T-Rex’s foot. "Whoa, I struck Celestial Knight gold!" He exclaimed with excitement.
"Someone help!" He heard Vet called out before he saw Test back on the T-Rex while it picked her up in its mouth by her tail. Jetray looked back at the card before he let out a frustrated groan.
"Aw man, why isn't this hero thing easy?!” He asked himself before he flew off to rescue her as the card got buried under some rubble. Vet was then tossed up as she screamed, but just before she was about to get eaten, Jetray flew in and caught her as he flew off.
“What are you, you little pest?” Test questioned as Jetray put Vet down to safety.
“I’m Jetray! And I’m here to kick some tail!” Jetray called as Test then used his helmet and started zapping Jetray, who flew away to avoid the beam. Jetray flew close and shot lasers from his eyes and hit the trophy right out of Test's hooves.
"No!" He exclaimed as he tried to catch it but it fell and smashed on the ground. He trembled with anger before Jetray grabbed hold of his device and pulled it right off. "My transmodulator!!" Jetray then threw the device on the ground before zapping it with his lasers. This caused an energy pulse that was shot out everywhere and caused the dinosaur to become a fossil once again. “NOOOOOOOO!!” He cried as the fossil collapsed.
Then the transmodulator energy sends a shock wave throughout the whole city.
At the building, the Mane Six, Young Six, and Flash faced the mutant parrot as it shrieked at them. But then the shockwave hit it as it reverted back to it’s normal self as it flew around and perched on Fluttershy’s shoulder with a happy chitter. “Oh, it’s great to see you normal again.” She said to it with a smile.
“Helix must’ve destroyed the device. He did it!” Twilight cheered with a smile.
When morning hits, the others regrouped with Helix, who timed out, as they see Test being taken to police custody. “Let me go! I deserve that award! I’ve got it coming to me! I want it!” He yelled as he was being pushed to the police chariot as he glared out and looked at Helix as he glared.
“For some reason, that sounds kind of familiar,” Helix said as Smolder was about to say something, but Helix stopped her. “And don’t even say it. I’m nothing like him with the animal mutation thing!” He quickly said as Smolder lowered her claw in surprised.
“He’s catching up to you, Smolder.” Rainbow said with a chuckle.
“Guess I gotta work harder.” Smolder said with a chuckle as well.
Back on the road, the Chariot is now leaving town while Helix puts a piece of Test's transmodulator in a box for a souvenir. "I mean haven’t gotten that gold Celestial Knight card, but at least I snagged the trophy from Test." He mentioned with a smile. "Plus, I guess saving the city from the wack doctor is its own reward too."
"And pony saved Yona!" Yona added.
“Yeah, well, that’s what we heroes do best,” Helix said with a proudful smile. “Rescue friends.”
“Try not to get full of yourself there, pal,” Gallus said with a mocking smirk.
“Hey, let me have it, okay.” Helix said as they all laughed as they drove off to their next destination.
