> The Harmony Power Ponies > by Daydreamfire > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Origins Part 1: The Jewel > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Celestia and Luna were walking through the Everfree Forest. Celestia was absorbed in a map held in her hands while Luna was bored and tired. "Sister, we have been walking around this forest for an hour. Are you sure we are not lost?" Luna complained, but Celestia payed no attention to her younger sister. "No Luna, we aren't lost. The castle is definitely here somewhere," Celestia replied, not taking her eyes off the map. The two sisters were searching for a castle. There was a legend of magic gems inside and Celestia was very interested in myths and legends of magical items. "Well, where is it?" Luna asked. Celestia pulled away some vines in her way that revealed an old, crumbling castle. They both were in awe that they found the castle. Celestia wasted no time and ran towards the castle and Luna followed. Inside there was a table with a glowing jewel resting on it. The jewel was small enough to fit in your hand witch surprised the two. Celestia opened up her backpack and retrieved a device. The device was a chemical detector and she pointed it to the gem. The gadget show a high amount of a unknown chemical. "Interesting," Celestia commented, then she she put on a glove and tried touching the stone. She did and nothing happened. "Luna, we should run some tests on this," Celestia suggested, picking up the stone. "Are you positive it is save?" Luna worried, her sister was already leaving. Celestia grabbed her bag and stopped at the door to look back at her sister. "I don't know, but I want to know what this strange gem is. So, are you coming?" Celestia answered. Luna hesitated and ran after her sister. They ran out of the forest as fast as they could go. They were out of the forest in a short amount of time and they spotted their jeep. Soon they were back in the laboratory and they started running tests on the jewel. When there were finished they still didn't know was the unknown chemical was. Celestia was getting frustrated and confused. "I can believe we can't figure out what the gem is. Luna, is there anything else we can do?" Celestia wondered and she waited for a response. When she didn't get one she turned around to she Luna playing with Spike, their little puppy. Celestia put her hands on her hips and gave Luna a disapproving look. "Oh, eh, no I don't think we can do much more," Luna stuttered. Spike jumped up on a counter were a load of science experiments were. The sisters cried as Spike knocked over chemicals and viles. Then he ran into a large bottle witch spilled all over the jewel. The jewel exploded into fifteen beams of light, five white and ten black. The lights blasted through the ceiling and into the sky, spreading all over the city. * * * Twilight Sparkle was in her room getting ready for the first day of school. She had straight navy hair with a strip of pink and purple and purple eyes. She put on her usual clothes: a pale yellow shirt, a pink skirt, black school shoes and a red tie. "Twilight, come down for breakfast," her mother, Twilight Velvet called. Twilight ran down the stairs, but then she was attacked. "Police, put your hands up!" the man demanded, but Twilight just laughed at him. "Knock it off, Shining Armor," Twilight ordered her brother. Twilight had one brother Shining Armor and he was married to a kind girl, Cadence who had a baby, Flurry Heart. Her mother gave Twilight her breakfast and asked Twilight a question. "So, are you excited about the new school?" She really wasn't sure. At Canterlot, she had no friends but she still loved studying there. Ponyville High School was a small school and it was a small town so she would have to make some friends but Twilight wasn't sure how. "Yeah, kinda. I'm not sure," Twilight looked at the clock. "Oh no, I'm gonna be late. Bye Mom, bye Shining Armor!" Twilight ran down the street until she saw a school and loads of kids. She was just on time. Twilight was looking around the hall a she bumped into a girl and dropped her papers. "Oh no, I so sorry," the girl apologized, helping Twilight pick up her things and then she helped Twilight up. "My name is Pinkie Pie," the girl introduced herself. The girl had pink bouncy hair and blue eyes. She was wearing a blue dress and a purple jacket with purple boots. "I'm Twilight Sparkle. I'm new here," the other girl announced. Pinkie Pie looked even happier than before. "Oh, you're that super smart girl from Canterlot. Well, I would like to welcome you to our school," Pinkie declared, practically bouncing up and down. Twilight couldn't help but giggle at the girls excitement. "Thanks, but have to get to class. Where is room 16?" Twilight asked. "It's just down that hall and the third door on your right. I'll see you later," Pinkie instructed, then she walked down the opposite corridor. Twilight went to her classes and nothing happened. When she was walking home she saw a skateboard park. A few boys were doing tricks then a girl came with a skateboard and the boys were not happy. "Hey! Can't you read the sign, it says no girls allowed!" one boys barked and the girl said nothing. She had long, messy rainbow hair and pink eyes. She wore a sleeve less black turtle neck and blue shorts with green runners. She also had a red and black cap and purple wrist bands. She got on her skateboard and started doing tricks on the ramp. At one point, she was skating on her hands. Then, when she was about to finish, she skated up the side of the ramp, let the skateboard fall. Then she did a back flip and landed on her skateboard. Everyone was in shock and awe, then the girl skated over to the boy from earlier and smirk. "Just because I'm a girl doesn't mean that I'm not more awesome than you," the girl spoke in a raspy voice and a big ego. The girl was about to walk out of the park when Twilight stopped her. "How did you do that?" Twilight asked the girl who smirked again. "Practise and luck. And lots of it," the girl answered skating away then she stopped. "By the way, the name's Rainbow Dash." "I'm Twilight." Dash smirked and continued skating away. "See you around, Twilight." * * * Later that day, Twilight was exploring Ponyville and the shops. Then she heard screaming and she looked around. Up in the sky was a glowing comet heading for Ponyville. Everyone was screaming and running everywhere until Twilight stood up on a bench. "Everybody listen! Screaming and running around won't help anything. We need to evacuate the area. Take cover in the other side," Twilight yelled and everyone listened. The comet was heading for the edge of Ponyville, right were Twilight was. She was about to run but then she saw a little girl who hurt her foot. The mother was calling from the crowd of people. Twilight ran over to the little girl and guided her to her mother. The three started running but Twilight tripped just as the comet hit and knocked her unconscious. * * * Pinkie Pie was strolling down the beach humming to herself. She always loved walking on the beach. Then she saw someone drowning in the water. "Don't panic, I'll save you," Pinkie assured. She hurried into the sea and dived in even though she wasn't wearing a swimsuit. Suddenly, a beam of light hit the ocean and the water started to bubble. Pinkie grabbed the drowning, panicking boy and swam to the beach. The boy got to the surface but something dragged Pinkie down in to the ocean and she was trapped in a bubble, unconscious. * * * Rainbow Dash was skating through the town, dodging people and pulling stunts. Dash looked up and saw a bright light turn into a large group of clouds. She surprised when she heard lightning and thunder then saw of clouds turn black. It was weird because it was sunny and not a cloud was in the sky a few minutes ago. Dash saw the lightning again but the lightning was red. A few five year old kids were playing soccer on a pitch beside an elementary school directly under the storm and were frightened by the storm. "Hey, don't panic. Just get inside the school," Dash organized and all the kids did what they were told but one just hugged Dash. Suddenly lightning struck and Rainbow and the kid was about to be hit. Rainbow pushed the kid away and told her to run before she was hit by the lightning. Rainbow Dash screamed and fell unconscious. > Origins Part 2: The Transformation > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight woke up and remembered what happened earlier. She looked around at her surroundings and no one was there. She slowly stood up and stretched. Then she looked down and saw what she was wearing: a pink dress, a pale yellow sleeve less jacket, pale yellow boots, pink finger less gloves, a pink mask and a purple choker necklace with a pink six pointed star and matching earrings. Her hair had the same pale yellow and pink strips and her hair was tied up in a ponytail with a large pink ribbon. A pale yellow yo-yo with the pink six pointed star appeared in her hand and the most surprising thing, a pair of large, purple, feather wings on her back and purple pony ears on her head. "What just happened? How long was I asleep? Wait a minute, I dreaming! That explains it," Twilight assumed, then she pinched herself but she didn't wake up. She did it again and again until she released..."THIS ISN'T A DREAM?!" * * * Pinkie Pie walked back onto the beach and look at the staff in her hands. "I don't remember having a staff or being able to breath under water," Pinkie noted and she gasped when she saw what she was wearing. Similar to Twilight's outfit, she had a blue dress, a purple sleeve less jacket, purple boots, blue finger less gloves, a blue mask and a pink choker necklace with a blue balloon and matching earrings. Her hair had the same purple and blue strips and her hair was tied up in two pigtail which fell down on her shoulders. And she had wings and pony ears like Twilight but there were both pink. A purple hairband appeared too. "I have no idea were this dress came from but I love it!" Pinkie squealed, admiring her new outfit. * * * Dash suddenly snapped awake. She looked at the ground around her witch was scorched by the lightning but what really confused her was what she was wearing. "Am I wearing a skirt?!" Rainbow screamed. Almost identical to the others, she had a red dress, a black sleeve less jacket, black boots, red finger less gloves, a red mask and a blue choker necklace with a red lightning bolt and matching earrings. Her hair was only shoulder length and was black with strips of red, yellow and blue. Some of her hair stuck up in the air and her cap was replaced by lightning bolt hair clips on both sides of her head. Powerful, blue wings appeared on her back, blue pony ears on her head and in her hand was a large red and black hammer. "WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED?!" * * * Celestia and Luna were looking at the sky were the light used to be. One light they saw was approaching the lab. "Look, one of the rays is coming our way!" Celestia warned, then she and Luna ran out of the way but Spike barked at the white beam. Then he was hit. "Spike!" Celestia and Luna cried at the same time. "Oh, I don't feel so good," the stood and rubbed his head with his paw. "Whoa, did I just talk?" Spike asked the speechless sisters. "How is that possible? What did the light do?" Celestia asked, as Luna picked the now talking Spike. "And I wonder where the black lights are heading." One of the black lights glided in through a window landed in the museum where it hit a statue of an evil spirit. When it did the stone started to crumble revealing a strange creature in a cape. "I'm free and soon everyone will bow down to Discord!" * * * "OK, so I have wings and I'm wearing a superhero costume. There has to be an reasonable explanation to this," Twilight pondered, then a crowd of people came running past her. One man stopped in front of Twilight. "One of the museum statues... its come to life!" the man panted and he kept on running. Twilight looked and saw everything was weird. The cotton candy clouds were raining chocolate milk, the ground had a checkered print and a bunch of animals were loose. Twilight was surrounded by zoo animals. Twilight panicked, there was nothing she could do. Then a tiger pounced and she closed her eyes. Then she wondered why she wasn't being mauled and opened her eyes and screamed. Twilight was fifty feet in the air above the animals. She released that her wings kicked in when she was attacked. Then she saw a creature that looked like ten animals combined flying into the town. "Hey, what's this?" he asked looking at Twilight's lunch. "Hey, that's my cupcake!" Twilight complained, she swooped down and grabbed the cupcake then started eating it. They looked at each other and yelped. 'Something's definitely not right here. First, this guy looks like a miss-mash of animals and then there's that dark aura around his body. That can't be good. He looks like a bad guy' Twilight thought. 'Something's definitely not right here. First, this girl looks like a pink little girly girl and then there's that light aura all around her body. That can't be good. She looks like a good guy' Discord thought. 'So that means...' they both thought then they attacked each other at the same time. Twilight tried hitting Discord with her super yo-yo and it worked so she did it again. At the lab, Celestia, Luna and Spike were watching. "So, do you thing that's caused by the chemical in the jewel," Luna asked her older sister. "I'm not sure but it's very likely," Celestia replied, still watching the battle rage on. Twilight tied Discord up with her yo-yo and swung him into a wall. Discord broke free, grabbed the yo-yo and threw Twilight into a building. Twilight threw her yo-yo at Discord but he kept dodging. "Missed me! Missed again!" he taunted, as Twilight was panting then she tripped over a box of oranges. Discord laughed but then the he stepped on an orange. "Yo-yo comet!" Twilight shouted when she threw the yo-yo harder than before. It knocked over Discord and sent him flying into a car. "I'll be back!" Discord growled, as he clicked him fingers and disappeared as did all the weird things and the animals. A crowd gathered around Twilight and started thanking her. "Oh, there's no need to thank me," Twilight blushed, she hated attention. "Sorry, I gotta go," Twilight hurried and she flew away. * * * "Wow! I can't believe that bubble thing gave me superpowers and this dress!" Pinkie laughed bouncing up and down, using her wings to glide. "OK, I love the wings and all, but why do I have to wear this DUMB outfit!" Rainbow complained, tugging on her skirt because it was too short. Then she sensed someone looking at her and yelled, "WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT!" Celestia and Luna were startled by Dash somehow knowing they were looking at her. "Three normal girls, each transformed by the chemical. We need to find out more about them and quickly," Celestia declared. "I agree, but you have to admit their powers are unique, maybe will should run some tests," Luna suggested and Celestia nodded in agreement. * * * A little bit later, "Would somebody please like to explain what's going on here? Like why I'm strapped to this bed? And where are we going?" Twilight bellowed moving around to break free. "So you're the one that nearly destroyed half of Ponyville," Luna stated who was driving, as Twilight continued to squirm and shake but it was no use. "I didn't wreak the city, I was only trying to help. And you can't save the city from a evil villain without breaking a few eggs," Twilight pointed out. "So, where are you guys gonna take me? Is this a bad dream?" Twilight panicked, struggling more than ever to break out of the van. "No, no! Of course not! Me and my sister, I mean Luna just want to-," Celestia was about to explain everything to the new superhero but she interrupted her. "I know what you're trying to do. You're trying to kidnap me! Well it won't work! I got superpowers you know!" Twilight guessed. "Actually, yes. We know all about your new abilities. That's why we've brought you here," Celestia revealed, but Twilight gave her an uneasy look. "She is telling the truth. Please, we just want to help," Luna confirmed. "We need to find out what happened to you and why. I think Luna and I partly responsible for this transformation," Celestia confessed. Twilight glared at her. "What do you mean by 'partly responsible'?" Twilight muttered, not a bit happy about the situation she was in. "Well, myself and Luna found a strange gem. We were running tests on it and the gem got in contact with chemical X witch caused it to explode and form ten beams of light four white and six black. And one of the white lights hit a comet passing earth, changing it's course. When it landed, you were the closest to it so it affected you," Celestia explained. "But the black beams are trouble. We think they caused the commotion," Luna piped up. "And they are more transformed like you so we better keep an eye out." Twilight started thinking about it all. So, a magical comet landed on earth and gave me superpowers then I fought a super villain. Not exactly a normal first day at a new school > Origins Part 3: The Bouncing Bubbles > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Half an hour later, they were still in the van. They let Twilight out and everything Spike who was asleep started barking and Twilight started shaking. "What's wrong?" Celestia asked the dog and the girl. "I can't sense another one!" Spike announced, looking out the window while Twilight was shocked and staring at the little puppy. "Your dog can talk!" Twilight yelped and pointed at Spike. "Yeah, I was hitting by a white light like you were," Spike revealed and he lay on Twilight's lap waiting for a tummy rub but Twilight just stared at him. "Any one ever tell you people are weirdos? If not let me be the first. You people are weirdos!" Twilight confirmed and Spike jumped through the window in the roof of the van. "Can you believe it guys? Another one just like us!" Spike barked looking at the other girl and the others look out the window to see her. They saw a pink haired girl skipping along but she was practically jumping twenty-five feet in the air. "I used to think skipping was boring but not when you can jump like this!" she giggled as she skipped "She is like the one we have," Luna told everyone as she looked through the binoculars but Twilight grabbed them and peeped through them. "I would who she is. She looks familiar and we have the same outfits. I wonder if she was effected by the comet too. And what did that yapping dog meant by 'she's one of us'?" "She is moving fast sister. We can't afford to lose her," Luna warned as the girl started skipping faster with longer jumps. "Yes, we need to monitor ever one of them. Luna can you catch up with her?" Celestia asked her sister who nodded and started going faster. "Maybe the two of us could work together," Twilight hoped, still watching the girl bounce up and down while laughing and playing. "I could just imagine, you two could protect and save the city," Luna thought out loud and the others nodded. "We'll be superheroes and she can be my sidekick!" Twilight announced, not that any one else approved of the idea she had. * * * Discord was moping around and muttering to himself. "I can't believe that little girl beat me like that!" he scolded, then he saw a skipping little girl, similar to the navy haired girl, singing to herself and having fun. "I don't like that girl, she looks like other one from earlier," Discord grumbled, but then Pinkie was in the air and jumped up top of his head but she didn't care. "I think I stepped on something. Oh well!" she chuckled as she skipped away. "Stupid girl!" Discord growled as he stood up and ran in front of her and he commanded, "Wait, stop!" the pink haired girl just bounced over him. "You little brat! Stay still!" Discord attacked her but she just twirled her staff. "Oh, is this a game?" she smiled and then she hopped of Discord head again. Discord clicked his fingers and a bucket full of water appeared then he threw the water into the air and came down on top of him, completely missing the girl. Discord started chasing the girl. "Oh, you wanna play tag? Catch me if you can!" Pinkie teased, skipping away. * * * Back at the van, Celestia and Twilight were looking through binoculars. Spike jumped in front of them and started growling. "Spike-" Twilight was about to ask but Discord answered her question. "It's the same monster from before. The one with the weird dark aura," Twilight released, then Celestia glanced at Twilight confused. "What dark aura? Are you sure? I can't see anything like that," Celestia expressed looking very closely at the creature but couldn't see a dark aura. "Well, the monster was probably hit by a dark ray, so maybe only others effected can see it," Celestia thought. "I'm afraid the girl may be in danger. Luna we have to hurry." "Well, for someone in danger she seems like she's having a wonderful time," Luna commented, looking through the binoculars. "I'll go out and help her, just in case," Twilight decided and she flew out of the van. She flew past Pinkie and in front of Discord. "What?! You again?!" Discord screeched and he lunged at Twilight who easily dodged. This continued to happen and Pinkie watched from behind. "Oh, a new girl join our game! This is the most fun I've had playing tag ever!" Pinkie squealed, still bouncing up and down while laughing. Discord flew over to some rocks, picked up a large one and threw it at Twilight who caught it with ease. Discord picked up a giant rock and was about throw it but Twilight threw the first rock at the one in Discord's paw and claw and he dropped it on himself. "Why did you do that?" Pinkie questioned with sad eyes. Twilight pointed at Discord. "Look very closely and you'll see a dark aura around him. That means he's evil," Twilight told Pinkie and the pink haired girl looked at the monster. "Oh yeah, that's too bad," Pinkie sighed, but she was still as happy as ever. "It's awful when good people become bad and evil." "But it's our job to stop them. We're superheroes now, understand?" Twilight stated very seriously but Pinkie was the opposite. "YAY! Lets kick some bad guy but!" Pinkie cheered. Discord attacked Twilight and got her in a headlock. Pinkie looked at her staff. She threw it at Discord and knocked him over. "It worked!" Pinkie celebrated. "Uh, I don't think that's a throwing weapon," Twilight pondered on what it was. Then they heard a horn and screeching tires. "We found you! Come on, girls. We have to get back to the lab," Celestia declared. They strapped Discord onto the bed and drove to the lab. * * * At the lab, Twilight and Pinkie were being tested on and now they were strapped onto a table with a scanner examining them. Luna was typing on the computer and then grinned. "Our expectations were correct. Their powers are caused by chemical X. But it is no longer chemical X. It's something else," Luna informed. The scanning was finished and they were untied. "Hey girls, are you hungry?" Celestia put down a tray of sweet treats. "The results coenzyme with our initial hypothesis, the light rays altered your molecular structures. You're not little girls anymore. You're part pony." "But what if I don't like my superpowers? How do I change back?" Pinkie asked Luna. "Eh, we don't know," Luna answered. "Well, I do have a theory. Spike, come on boy. Spike was hit with a white light like you two were." "So what your saying is they might have a connection to one another," Celestia finished. "Like when Spike sensed the girls. So we just need to figure out how Spike did that." "Come on Spike," Luna called as she picked up Spike. "Lets try to figure out what happened to you." Spike was then scanned like the girls. Twilight and Pinkie flew over to Discord and Twilight used a pin to pop his snot bubble and wake him up. Discord saw his surroundings and wasn't happy. "You two, again?!" he shouted. "I will not be a statue again!" "Girls, I figured it out," Celestia declared and they flew into a different room with loads of tech and devices. Celestia picked up a strange gun and pointed it at the girls. "Everything looks OK. Don't worried, this would hurt a bit. Now, hold still." Celestia plucked the trigger and fired a beam of light at the girls. The girls stated glowing the color of their costumes until they screamed. The light died and revealed Twilight and Pinkie in their normal clothes. "Hey, where's my cute dress?" Pinkie complained. "Yeah, where- Hey, your Pinkie! Your the girl I met at school," Twilight noticed, looking at the newly transformed, pink haired girl. "And your Twilight, the new girl. I can't believe it! How did I not see that?" Pinkie wondered, scratching her frizzy, bouncy hair. "It worked. Well, sort of. Your bodies are almost normal, but your speed, strength and agility are increased. I wonder how that is," Luna thought looking at a screen on the gun. "Wait, just hold on one minute!" Twilight screeched, folding her arms and tapping her foot. "Yes? Is something wrong? Do you feel unwell?" Celestia asked. "No, I'm fine, but what am I supposed to do now!" Twilight stormed over to the two sisters, Pinkie following in her friend's pursuit. "You don't understand. I want to by a superhero! I want to have superpowers! And I think I speak for Pinkie and myself when I say those outfits ready suited us. So, you better change us back!" Twilight whined. "Hey, look. I'm still wearing my choker necklace," Pinkie pointed out, playing with the blue, sapphire, balloon shaped jewel and admiring it. "Me too. They look very similar to each other," Twilight released, showing Pinkie her our choker necklace with a pink, tourmaline, star shaped jewel. "They look like the jewel we tested on. Here, can I see those?" Celestia took the necklaces off the girls and scanned it. "Fascinating, they're made out of the same material as the jewel too. Spike!" "I'm coming!" Spike yapped and he ran into the room and into Luna's arms. "Spike, try saying, 'Power Ponies'," Luna told Spike and he jump on the table. "Harmony Power Ponies!" Spike barked. The necklaces flew over to the girls, clipped on and transformed the girls again. The girls twirled around, delighted. "I think I know what happened. Now that Spike can talk, he can somehow make you transform into the Harmony Power Ponies," Celestia explained. "And you will be able to save Ponyville." Twilight and Pinkie were about to celebrate but were interrupted by a loud noise. Discord was trying to break down the wall. "Pinkie, use your staff," Twilight suggested. "But I don't know how," Pinkie sighed into the hole in the staff and a bubble appeared it wasn't a staff in was a giant bubble blower. Pinkie laughed and she made more bubbles witch Discord dodged. "Wow, he's fast." Discord jumped out of the window and started running. "Come back here!" Twilight ordered, running after the creature with Pinkie. Discord jumped over a gate and saw a girl. Rainbow Dash was not having a good day and was in a very bad mood. Discord ran up to her and yelled, "Get out of my way you stupid, little girl." Rainbow was on edge and didn't noticed but a spark of lightning sparked around her body. "Let me tell you something," Dash hissed, swinging the hammer above her head. "No one calls me a STUPID LITTLE GIRL!" Dash struck the ground with her hammer, causing the ground to crumble and lightning to shot Discord. When Twilight and Pinkie came Discord was in the air. "Stupid outfit, how wears skirts?!" Rainbow shouted as Twilight and Pinkie ran up to her. "Who are you?" Twilight asked. Rainbow Dash turned to face them. "Huh, you talking to me?" > Origins Part 4: The Harmony Three > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "ARE YOU KIDDING ME! This has been the worst day of my life! I'm wearing a skirt! Whatever you did to me, you've gonna undo it! NOW!" Rainbow Dash screamed. Everyone was terrified a bit because Dash had anger issues but mainly because lightning was surrounding her body and her large hammer and her eyes were glowing red. "Believe me, we're very sorry about all of this," Celestia apologized, stepping away from the girl covered in lightning. "Yeah, we are. But I have to admit that skirt looks really good on you," Luna complemented. "She's right. It really does look nice," Twilight piped up witch was a bad decision. Rainbow turned around and glared at her, she was even than angrier than before. "I HATE SKIRTS!" Dash yelled then she swung her hammer smashed the sofa Twilight and Pinkie were sitting and thankfully, they got out of the way. And then Dash went on a rampage, smashing stuff. * * * Celestia and Luna used the de-transformation device on Rainbow and when it was finished Dash was back in her normal clothes. "Yes, I'm back to normal!" Dash smirked. "And I can move again!" Twilight gaped at the girl. "You're Rainbow Dash?!" Twilight gasped. "And you're Twilight, the new girl at the skateboard park and that's Pinkie Pie, the biggest party animal I've ever seen," Rainbow stated. "Thanks, and you're the best athlete I ever seen. You play every sport there is in the school! And I kinda look up to you" Pinkie praised. "So, all three of us go to the same school? This is great, we can be friends and hang out together, right?" Twilight cheered. "Friends? No way!" Dash denied. I could never be friends with these two. Just look at them! They'd always by talking about books and fashion and girly stuff. Twilight and Pinkie linked arms with Dash. "Don't be like that, Dashie. It must be fate that brought us together!" Pinkie giggled. "The perfect team!" Twilight and Pinkie laughed in unison, high fiving each other while Rainbow tried to break free from their grip. "No! Not fate! Just a coincidence, that's all it is! A coincidence!" Dash protested, but it was no use. "Nice to see you're getting along," Luna smiled as she, Celestia and Spike walked in the room. "The mayor has heard about your new superpowers and would like to invite you to be the official protectors of Ponyville. So what do you say to that, girls." "Definitely!" Twilight and Pinkie cried at the same time, jumping up and down together. But Dash stuck out her tongue and blow a raspberry. "No way!" Rainbow snarled and everyone stared at her and gasped at her rudeness. "Why don't you wanna be a superhero? I'll be so much fun! And the outfits are cute," Pinkie chuckled. "Yeah, What's the matter? We'll be heroes and fight bad guys together, as a team," Twilight listed. "OK, cool it," Dash interrupted. Ugh, it's not that I don't wanna be a superhero, it's just the... Rainbow looked up and saw Twilight and Pinkie giving her the puppy dog eyes. It's this! This acting all prissy and stuff. I can't save Ponyville while wearing a skirt. Especially not with these two. Ugh, just look at them! "You don't have to act prissy or girly. And we won't bother you with books or fashion," Twilight compromised and Rainbow's jaw hit the floor. "How did you know that?!" Dash asked very confused. Did she just read my mind? "I think we both did," Pinkie laughed. This was a strange situation. Celestia, Luna and Spike had no idea what was going on, Twilight was wondering what was wrong with the tomboy, Dash was freaking out because they just read her mind and Pinkie... yeah, I got nothing. What's wrong with Rainbow Dash? Is she sick or hallucinating or something? "If fine and I'm not sick or hallucinating," Dash growled, now it was Twilight's turn to freak out. "What? How did you know I was thinking that?" Twilight panicked and Rainbow just looked at her. "You just said 'What's wrong with Rainbow Dash? Is she sick or hallucinating or something?'," Dash repeated what she thought Twilight said. "I didn't say that out loud. I was just thinking that," Twilight told Rainbow and they were now both confused. "Do you know what this means? We can read each others thoughts! This is amazing! I told it was fate that brought us together!" Pinkie burst, Twilight and Dash stared at each other. Twilight grinned and Dash looked horrified.Twilight and Pinkie started talking about all the fun they could have and Dash was fed up. "That's it I'm outta here!" Dash announced storming towards the door. "What? Why?" Twilight and Pinkie questioned. "Ponyville will crumble with out you," Celestia grieved. "Those two can handle it! There's not way I'm teaming up with them! It's too embarrassing! Besides, you people are all crazy! See ya!" Rainbow listed and she stormed out of the room. "But without all three girls the team is incomplete. We can't let that happen, we have to keep them together," Celestia exclaimed. "You are right, sister. Spike!" Luna called. Twilight and Pinkie ran after Rainbow. "Harmony Power Ponies!" Spike howled. Twilight, Pinkie and Rainbow Dash transformed back into superheroes. "How can anyone NOT want to be a superhero. So cool," Twilight wondered looking at a mirror. Pinkie was also looking in the mirror and laughing. "I love this outfit! It gets cuter every time!" Pinkie squeaked. But Rainbow Dash had a different opinion. "Back in this skirt again?! I look like a total girl!" Dash expressed, tugging on her skirt. "Rainbow Dash, hasn't anyone told you that you are a girl?" Pinkie snickered. "It's true," Twilight agreed. "I know! I know! I just hate skirts!" Rainbow complained, still pulling her skirt angrily. Spike was laughing and rolling on the floor until Dash glared at him. "What's so funny ya little mut?! Don't forget it's because of YOU I'm wearing this DUMB outfit! It's all YOUR fault!" Spike started running for his life. "Where do you thing you're going?" Rainbow roared. Dash started running after the puppy when suddenly she was gone and all that was left was a trail of storm clouds. "Wow, she's fast," Pinkie commented. A few objects flew into the machines, almost hitting the girls. "Twilight, Pinkie Pie, you have to stop her," Celestia ordered. "Rainbow Dash! Wait!" they yelled. Twilight and Pinkie started flying too but Twilight left a comet trail while Pinkie left a trail of bubbles. Spike was still running but Dash was gaining on him. "Come back here you fleabag!" Rainbow thundered, getting faster and faster. Twilight and Pinkie followed the storm clouds down the hall. "Wait, Rainbow Dash! Please, come back!" they called. Spike scrambled through small places so Rainbow would follow her but she just flew right through everything in her path. Twilight saw some curtains, nudged Pinkie and said "I have an idea." Celestia and Luna were cleaning up the lab, putting everything were it belonged. Then the door opened revealing Spike and they heard Dash screaming, "Come back here!" "Now!" Twilight shrieked. She and Pinkie were holding a curtain in front of Rainbow who flew into it and stumbled into a device. Everyone was afraid she'd get really angry again and took a few steps back. To everyone's surprise, Dash flew up in the air and yelled, "That. Was. AWESOME!" Everyone stared at her. "Eh, sorry about the mess and everything. This weird lightning thing keeps happening and it makes me go crazy. And maybe you're right. It might be cool to be a Harmony Power Pony. And I get to keep these awesome wings." "See, we told you," Twilight stated as she and Pinkie flew up in the air with Dash. Spike was still shivering from the traumatizing event. Rainbow flew down and picked him up. "Sorry, 'bout that. No hard feelings?" Dash offered, when Spike didn't answer she started tickling him. "OK, OK. No hard feelings," Spike agreed, half laughing. "Just stop tickling me!" and she did. "Now you are the Harmony Power Ponies, noble protectors of Ponyville," Celestia confirmed. "OK! You can count on me." "Yay! This is so much fun!" "Yeah, I'll do it." Celestia walked over to them and gave them each a watch. "These are your communicators so we will be able to alert you of any signs of trouble," Celestia explained. Twilight's watch was pale yellow, Pinkie's was purple and Dash's was black. "Now that we're on the same page lets go over the rules," Luna started. "1. You most always protect Ponyville." "Well, yeah. We'll do that anyway," Twilight pointed out. "2. Don't wreak the lab." "But it was an accident. It's not like we did it on purpose," Pinkie interrupted. "3. No fighting." "OK, fine. I'll stop picking fights but that doesn't mean we're gonna be all buddy buddy. Besides, how come all the rules are for us? What about you guys?" Dash asked. "That's right!" "Yeah, what are your rules?" "Alright, here are the rules you have to follow," the girls started at the same time. "1. We're allow to eat whatever we want," Pinkie giggled. "2. The lab will have all the latest novels about magic," Twilight continued. "3. We can watch all the sports on the T.V." Dash finished. "OK then," Celestia agreed. "Then it's official," Twilight smiled and her friends joined in. "We are the Harmony Power Ponies and we will protect Ponyville no matter what!" > Origins Part 5: The Comet, the Bubbles and the Storm > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The next day, Twilight strolled out the door for another day of school. "Twilight, don't forget your lunch!" Twilight's father Night Light called. Twilight stopped and ran back into the house. "Thanks Dad! My favorite, peppermint sticks!" Twilight stated as she jogged out the gate. * * * "It's your favorite today, Pinkie. Marzipan Mascarpone Meringue Madness cupcakes," Mrs. Cake handed the box of cupcakes over to Pinkie who was practically drooling. "Thank you, thank you, thank you! I love your Marzipan Mascarpone Meringue Madness cupcakes. I'll see you after school, bye!" Pinkie laughed and she skipped down the path. * * * Rainbow Dash was skating out of the house when she heard her brothers. "Hey sis, I think you forgot something," Rainbow Blaze called. "Yeah, like what about your lunch, ya little brat!" Spectrum Blitz interrupted. "Here, catch!" They downed a paper bag out the window and Rainbow caught it. "Oh yeah, leftover zap apple jam sandwiches. Thanks guys!" Dash then raced away on her skateboard. * * * The bell rang as Twilight walked through the school gates and up ahead she saw Pinkie. "Oh, Good morning, Pinkie Pie," Twilight smiled. The pink haired girl turned around. "Hey, Twilight. How's it going?" Pinkie asked. "It's going good. I'm glad we got Rainbow Dash to join. She's pretty cool. Now that we're all together it's like a dream come true! I've always wanted to be a superhero! I can't believe it's real!" Twilight swooned. "I know! First I was confused, but now it feels like we belong together. And plus, I love the outfits!" Pinkie confessed while giggling. "I know! I wonder where we'll have our first fight. You think it will be Discord again?" Twilight hoped. "I don't know. We could be called at anytime and we'll have to be ready," Pinkie guessed, a bit more serious than before "Yeah Pinkie, you must be right," Twilight assumed. Just then, Rainbow skated in through the gates and stopped when she saw Twilight and Pinkie. "Well, I don't know when it will be, but I can't wait!" Twilight squealed. Dash picked up her skateboard and propped it under her arm. "Yeah, me too! It's gonna be so awesome!" Pinkie laughed and Twilight joined in. "Ugh, don't these two ever shut up?" Rainbow muttered so the two wouldn't notice her. "Well at least we're not in the same class." A few minutes later, "Now I know this is sudden, but we're re-arranging your classes," the principal announced and they were a lot of complaints. Another few minutes later, "OK, everyone. From now on, I'm your new teacher. My name is Mrs. Cheerilee," the teacher started. "Yay, we're in the same class!" Pinkie cheered. "I know, it's perfect!" Twilight stated and they both started laughing. "Ugh, how could they do this? Change all the classes on the second day back and now look! I'm with these two! They'll drive me crazy!" Dash grumbled. What they didn't know was that the principal was actually the mayor's brother and Celestia asked him to change the classes so the girls would be in the same class. "When's lunch? I'm starving! I could eat a horse," Rainbow exaggerated. "But it's only second period," Twilight chimed in and Dash moaned. "Yeah, didn't you have anything for breakfast?" Pinkie asked. Then Twilight's and Pinkie's stomachs started to rumble and so did Rainbow's. "Even own stomachs' are in sync! We're the perfect team!" Twilight and Pinkie squealed and Dash face palmed and growled. "Whatever, it's just a coincidence," Rainbow repeated, she recalled saying that about the thought reading thing. "Hey, did anyone else heard about the weird events yesterday?" Lyra asked ad the girls looked up. "Yes, there was a comet, a typhoon and a storm, all at the same time. It was all over the news," Rarity stated. "So, you guys were affected by the comet too," Twilight assumed, but Pinkie and Rainbow were confused. "What do you mean?" Pinkie questioned. "Wait, you guys didn't get your superpowers from the comet?" Twilight whispered as a few people walked past. "Well, I got my superpowers after I saved a kid from the typhoon, but then I was swept into the typhoon and trapped in a bubble," Pinkie told Twilight. "That's weird. I got my powers after I saved a girl from the comet, before the comet hit. How about you Rainbow Dash?" Twilight wondered. "A few kids playing soccer, storm coming, had to save them, struck by lightning and woke up wearing a stupid dress," Dash murmured and the girls were each confused. The three girls gained their superpowers at the same time, but in different ways. Came in contact with with comet, almost drowned but saved by bubble and struck by lightning. And each time they almost killed themselves and unlike Discord, they all had similar costumes. At lunch, Dash sat at a table and Twilight and Pinkie joined her. "Finally, lunch!" Rainbow cheered. "Yeah, I'm way hungrier than I thought!" Pinkie giggled. "Wait a minute. Who said we're eating together?" Dash complained. "We did!" Twilight grinned and Rainbow rolled her eyes. "Look what I got. My favorite, peppermint sticks." "I got my favorite too. Marzipan Mascarpone Meringue Madness cupcakes." "Check it out. Leftover zap apple jam sandwiches." The girls smiled at Rainbow. Although she wasn't shy, she wasn't very social and hadn't a lot of friends. Dash looked away and blew her hair out of her eyes, causing sparks of lightning. * * * Over at the lab, Celestia, Luna and Spike were about to have lunch too. "Something smells nice," Luna complemented, then she gave a cheeky smile to her sister. "Baking another cake I see." Celestia was about to reply but then the news showed Discord on a rampage. "Discord again. We need the girls, Spike," Celestia called. "Harmony Power Ponies!" * * * The girls were just about to eat and then their watches flashed. "But it's lunchtime! My Marzipan Mascarpone Meringue Madness cupcakes," Pinkie whined. "Well, we'll just have to go," Twilight sighed looking down at her peppermint sticks. "This job officially stinks! I'm so hungry!" Rainbow gave out. "We can't transform here," Twilight decided. They ran out of the cafeteria to the gym, to the library and to the science lab witch were all occupied. They dashed to the roof tired of running and hungry. "It doesn't matter if we're hungry," Twilight panted. "I beg to differ," Dash interrupted. "Well, we're superheroes now and no matter what, no matter when have to be ready," Twilight stated. "Yeah, we're the Harmony Power Ponies and we must save the day," Pinkie announced. "You guys are so weird," Rainbow exclaimed. Twilight pressed a button on her watch and a hologram of Discord appeared. He was blasting all the buildings in sight. The girls transformed into the Harmony Power Ponies. * * * Discord was running around the mall destroying all the stores while people were trying to get away. Then he saw a restaurant and went in he took all the food from the tables and started eating them. "Well, I can't destroy Ponyville on an empty stomach," Discord chortled. "Hold it right there. We're the Harmony Power Ponies, fighting to save the day," Twilight introduced herself and the others. "Yeah, even at lunchtime!" Pinkie finished and the two just stared at her. "Even at lunchtime? Yeah, that'll definitely scare him," Rainbow replied sarcastically. Discord wasn't even paying attention, he was stuffing himself with all the food. "I don't think he's even listening," Pinkie piped up. Twilight throw her yo-yo at him. "Cut it out already," Twilight yelled grabbing his attention. "Don't you have any table manners?" Pinkie asked. "Yeah, looks to me like you were raised in a zoo," Dash smirked. She was hoping to tick him off. "I was not raised in a zoo. Do not make fun of me, stupid girl," Discord snapped and he flew out of the restaurant and into the air, the girls following close behind. He flew up to the crane beside the river and was nowhere to be seen and the girls looked around. "Hey, where did he go?" Pinkie wondered. "Discord, where are you?" Rainbow called. Suddenly, the crane's hook flung back and lunged forward attacking the girls. Discord was controlling it and was laughing. Twilight, Pinkie and Rainbow easily dodged the hook leaving a comet, bubbles and storm cloud trail behind them. "Stay still!" Discord screamed. The girls started flying towards him, but Discord tried to swat them with the crane again. The girls flew up in the air and their stomachs rumbled and they groaned. "I so hungry! I knew I should have eaten lunch!" Twilight complained. "I think I'm feeling faint," Pinkie whined. "Being a superhero stinks," Dash repeated. "Discord laughed at them. "You never go into battle on a empty stomach. I have been eating all day. Spaghetti, meatloaf, casseroles, seafood, ice cream, chocolate cake," Discord listed and the girls were getting very angry. They grabbed the hook and pulled it away. "Listen up you stupid monster!" Twilight ordered. "It's your fault we missed lunch!" Pinkie exclaimed. "And now you're gonna pay!" Dash promised. They stopped and threw the hook as hard as they could straight to Discord. Apparently, as hard as they could was very hard and it hit Discord. "You made the biggest mistake of your life!" "Never come between a girl and her food!" "Especially when she's a Harmony Power Pony!" They dived right into Discord and broke the crane. But Discord flew over to a boat and shrieked, "You think you can stop me that easily?" He pressed a button and three missiles shot out heading for the city. "Comet Yo-yo Deflect!" Twilight caught a missiles with her yo-yo and threw it in the other direction. "Bouncing Bubbles!" Pinkie created a bubble and a missile shot into it, then it bounced off in the other direction. "Lightning Hammer Strike!" Dash hit one of the missiles and it flew in the other direction. The missiles darted towards Discord's boat and it exploded and Discord teleported away. They landed on the ground and Discord was gone. "He got away from us," Twilight sighed. Suddenly, there was a roar of cheering behind them. Twilight, Pinkie and Rainbow turned around and saw a crowd of people. Then one child walked over to them and asked, "Who are you?" Huh, I didn't think about that. What should we tell them? We could come up with superhero names, cause we are superheroes now. Oh oh, I have names! How about Comet Flare, Bubble Burst and Stormy Blaze? I like it. So do I. "My name is Comet Flare," Twilight announced. "I'm Bubble Burst!" Pinkie giggled. "The name's Stormy Blaze," Dash smirked. "And we're the Harmony Power Ponies," they all yelled together and they dashed away.
