The Masked Crusader

by Mister Phoenix


Everypony Has Their Day... Besides Rumble

The town of Ponyville, the bright, peaceful, and quiet town with the small monster coming in to destroy the town. But faith is unkind to the ponies living in Ponyville, for their hero, their not so silent watcher or good guardian. For their hero is.... The Masked Crusader, the hero that no ones needs, but the hero that no one deserves.

"Crime, it has hit the small town of Ponyville for many years. I must stand alone after the accident that made me...."

"Rumble Dear, dinners ready! Come down from your room!" A mare called out, causing the colt to moan.

"MOM! I'm explaining my backstory. I'll be down in a minute!"

"Ugh, parents! Anyways... the day this town needs me to save it was one day ago..."


The school holidays finally came, the colts and fillies cheer at the thought of no school for a good month. Rumble, the gray coat pegasus with a black mane and a blank flank. He stood outside, the wind blew the leaves in his face causing him to move about.

The gray pegasus stopped and looked at the door way. There stood the most beautiful girl in school, Scootaloo. The orange pegasus with her ruff purple mane still held a shining light towards the colt.

Rumble dusted himself off and tried to lean on the tree next to him to look cool in Scootaloo's eyes. Unfortunately, he miss the tree and fell into the pile of leaves.

"Rumble! Are you okay?" The voice of an angel asked. Rumble looking up to see Scootaloo's face.

"Yeah, yeah. I'm fine, I could take a million of those, umm.... evil leaves. Yeah that's it, evil leaves that tried to, umm.... destroy the school, yes that and nothing else." Rumble said, letting out a nervous laugh.

Scootaloo gave a small eye roll. "Your too much of a dork sometimes."

The orange pegasus began to walk away, Rumble knew that he couldn't tell her about his second life or his enemies will come after her.

The gray pegasus looked left and right, quickly seeing if anyone was watching. Seeing that he was in the clear, Rumble moved behind the building to get his suit.

The gray pegasus wore blue boots, a short red cape, a brown hat with a black mask easy to be seen through, and a sword on his side held by his belt. Rumble was now the great, the awesome, The Masked Crusader!

After the town begged him to guard them. His villains hiding in the shadows, afraid for his awesome and coolness. Fillies most likely heads over hooves for him, mostly the orange pegasus, she just can't keep away from him.

With his powerful sword that struck thund- Lightning, yeah lightning down at the foes standing in his way. Going from a single, double, triple, and ultimate sword attack. Enemies run away in terror, fear and umm... even more terror from just the site of his blade witch is totally not fake.

The Masked Crusader ran just to trip over his red cape and roll down the grassy hill.

"Ow..." The Masked Crusader said, jumping to his hooves.

"Watch out, evil villains! The awesome and powerful Masked Crusader is here to strike you down with my mighty blade!"

The Masked Crusader drew his sword, pointing at the deadly foe in front of him. The cow stopped eating the grass to let out a moo.

"Ah, it's my old foe, Evil Space Cow, so we met again. You'll pay for the time you stole my grass sandwich!" The Masked Crusader cried out.

The brown and white cow let out a loud moo before giving the colt a lick.

"Ah no, the lick of grossness! My one of many weaknesses!" The Masked Crusader said with a small yell.

The Masked Crusader then ran away from the Evil Space Cow. He wasn't giving up, he just thought on letting The Evil Space Cow off of the day just this once.

The cape, mask wearing crusader ran through Ponyville, ponies cheering his brave and awesome superhero name, after saving them.

"Hello Rumble." Cloudchaser said as he went passed her.

The Masked Crusader soon bumped into Scootaloo. The colt looked at her now enraged expression. The Masked Crusader soon used his greatest plan he has ever made. Run away!

The costume wearing colt ran through alleyways, the orange pegasus following right behind him. The Masked Crusader stood in front of a brick wall, Scootaloo trapping him.

"Rumble!" Scootaloo cried out, revealing the cow saliva the colt had was now on her coat.

"I'm not Rumble, I'm The Masked Crusader. But this Rumble guy sounds petty cool. You should go out with him sometime." The Masked Crusader said with a smirk.

Scootaloo pulled off his masked, showing that Rumble was under it, with was no surprise from... well... anypony.

"Rumble!" Scootaloo said in shock.

Besides Scootaloo.

"Yeah, you already knew I was... never mind." Rumble said in confusion.

"You covered me in cow slime!"

"No, that was slime from the Evil Space Cow. You know, The Masked Crusader's main enemy." Rumble said, with Scootaloo having a bemused look on her face.

"Was this a space cow or a normal cow?" Scootaloo questioned with a raised eyebrow.

Rumble looked at her, tears forming his eyes. He knew when he was being made fun of. Scootaloo looked at him and began to feel bad for becoming just another bully.

"Yeah." Rumble said in disappointment.

Scootaloo bit her lip, knowing she would regret this later.

"Rumble! Why are you here, I need the brave Masked Crusader to save me from the umm..." Scootaloo paused, trying to think of something.

"The Disappearing Ants from Space have returned to get their revenge on pony kind." Scootaloo said, causing Rumble to raise his eyebrow.

He looked at the bright blue sky and then back at Scootaloo who gave him a small wink.

"Oh yes, I'll go get them. Quick look over there!" Rumble said, pointing behind her.

Scootaloo rolled her eyes, turning so Rumble can put his mask on. Once he did, she turned around.

"The Masked Crusader, your here. Good thing too, they must have gotten stronger!" Scootaloo cried out, putting her hoof on her forehead.

"Fear not Scootaloo, I shall use my most powerful sword attack. The ultimate sword attack." The Masked Crusader said, pulling out his silver sword.

The Masked Crusader moved his sword and himself throwing off the cow slime off of his coat. The hero put his sword on the ground and stood in victory, with Scootaloo running to hug him.

"Your safe now, they are all gone." The Masked Crusader said proudly.

"Thank you Masked Crusader ,your my hero! But what about Rumble, is he safe?" Scootaloo asked, worry filled her eyes. Ending the hug.

"Well this may come to you as a surprise, but..." The Masked Crusader said, pulling off his mask.

"I am Rumble!" He said dramatically.

Scootaloo covered her mouth with her hoof in shock. Not able to believe that The Masked Crusader, the greatest superhero in the world, is Rumble.

"Thank you, for well..." Rumble said.

The gray colt was silenced when he felt a pair of lips kiss him on the check. Rumble's eyes widened in shock at what happened. Before he could speak, Scootaloo went first.

"If you tell anypony about this, I'll will have to say that I didn't do this. To keep my coolness" Scootaloo said, Rumble nodded with a smile.

Scootaloo walked away, leaving Rumble stand there by himself. Putting his sword away into his belt, he walked away, smiling in victory.


"And that's how I saved the day. So I am a superhero?" Rumble finished.

The gray pegasus sat at a booth in a small coffee shop. He was sitting with two other creatures that are able to stand on two legs. One was dressed like a bat while the other one was dressed up in red, blue, and yellow with the letter 'S' on his chest. While Rumble was dressed in his Masked Crusader costume.

"Look, your not a hero. You and your friend just played together." The colorful one known as Superman said.

"Please, I'm more like this guy next to me. We both don't have any powers." Rumble said, his eyes looking at the large bat known as Batman.

"Please your nothing like me, you maybe a parody, but you'll never be me." Batman said in his deep, raspy voice.

"Why's that?" Rumble questioned.

Batman raised his eyebrow "You really want to know why?" Batman asked.

"Yeah lay it on me-"

"Because I'm Batman!!"
