> Canterlot High School All-Stars! The Extraordinary Teen Heroes > by CallMeKing > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > We Got the Power > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was a cold but nice weekend night in the town of Canterlot. Most people can be seen in the streets, walking around and having a conversation with their friends and some can be seen inside various cafes and shops. However, some people prefer to have time for themselves. Case in point, we see a teenage boy on a grassy hill, overseeing the town. The young man has a pale, amber skin tone, a blue spiky-brushed forward hair and has blue eyes. He wears a black hoodie jacket over a white shirt, blue pants and a black & white sneakers. The teenage boy, known as Flash Sentry, sat silently on the grass while looking up the stars in the skies. Odd thing is, staring at stars isn't a hobby of is, he just sat there because he has nothing to do at the moment since most of his friends are busy. Micro Chips went home early to tinker some new invention of his after getting a flash of inspiration, Sandalwood went to assist his Eco-Buddies with some stuffs while Brawley Beats and Ringo found themselves some dates. "Huh? Lucky them." Flash thought with a blank stare. He still can't believe that his friends-slash-bandmates scored themselves some nice girls with the possibility of them entering a relationship. Speaking of relationships, it's been months since he and Sunset Shimmer broke up and Princess Twilight Sparkle left back to her world. He and Sunset are getting along well ever since the latter's reformation, he clearly enjoys hanging out with her however most of the time it gets cut short whenever Sunset is needed with something, either with studies or magical mishaps. But he doesn't mind, watching and cheering Sunset and her friends saving the day from the sidelines, is something he is content with. Flash has also moved on from Princess Twilight Sparkle and as much as he hates to admit it, a relationship with her won't work out since she lives in another world and is busy with her duties, she has no time to visit their world and much less have a relationship with a mere guitar player like himself. Flash let's out a sigh before grabbing the soda next to him and took a sip of it. Suddenly, he saw something from the night sky that made him do a spitstake, "W-What in the world?!" he squawked in shock before getting off the ground. Staring at the sky, Flash witness at a large meteorite-like object descending down towards the town, glowing brightly from one color to another. He has seen shooting stars a few times in his life but never one this close! Suddenly, the bright object suddenly exploded in midair which then turns into a colorful ring-like shock wave that spreads out all over the town. Flash noticed that the light is heading towards him, covering himself with his arms while fearing for the worst but fortunately for him, the light went past through him as his body began to glow bright, changing from one color to another. When everything subsided, like nothing ever happened, Flash slowly puts down his arms and began to look around nervously. Panting heavily while thinking it's not safe to stay outside any longer, he quickly grabs his things and ran down the hills, getting into his car and then driving away home. Meanwhile at an eight-floored apartment somewhere in town, we see a man on the rooftop with a telescope right next to him. The man is pretty tall with a grayish-amber skin tone, a dark gamboge slicked back hair and has a light, cobalt-blue eyes. He wears a brown longcoat over a gray vest and a white collared shirt with a green bow tie, black trousers and black leather shoes. The man looks around the skies with narrowed eyes, "So, they finally made their move.'' he spoke, "This is not good.'' he commented in a serious tone. The next morning in Flash's home, we see the blue-haired guitar player sleeping soundly on his bed. After coming home from the previous night, he went straight to bed just to forget what he saw that night and is conked out once he jumps on the mattress. Flash is snoring softly when suddenly a surge of electricity course it's away all over his body which causes him to sit up on his bed, fully awake, "What?" he gasped in shock, "I'm home.'' he muttered in realization, "I'm okay." he said while looking all over himself. He then got up from bed when suddenly, he found his blanket wrapped around his left leg, he then shakes its off, "Dang static electricity!" he complained before walking off when suddenly, the blanket flew towards him and wraps itself all around his head, "Woah!" he yelped while struggling to get the blanket off of him, "Ugh! Agh!" he grunted before throwing it off, "Down boy!!" he commanded while his body let's out some spark before the blanket flew back to his face, "Woah!!" he yelped while backpedaling towards the doorway, he then quickly rolls the blanket into a ball before throwing it back and then quickly closing his bedroom door shut while leaning on the wall, sighing in relief as a girl made her way towards his direction. The girl has a short moderate purple hair, she has moderate purple eyes and has a light gamboge skin tone. She wears a dark-brown hoodie jacket, green cargo shorts, light-blue socks and black shoes. This is Scootaloo, Flash's younger sister. "Morning, big bro." Scootaloo greeted with a smile. "Morning, Scoots." Flash greeted back while ruffling her hair. Scootaloo then looks at him with a raised eyebrow, "Did you say something?'' she asked. "I said morning, Scoots." Flash replied with a confused look. Scootaloo then shook her head, "Oh? Sorry about.'' she apologized before digging a finger in her right ear, "I had problem with hearing things since I've woke up this morning.'' she stated before walking off. Flash watches his sister go before making his way to the bathroom. He opens the door and found the room's lights are off, he was about to turn on the switch when the light suddenly went on, "Huh?'' he muttered in surprise. Walking towards the sink, the shaver suddenly made a sound, picking up the shaver and slowly finds out that it isn't plugged to an outlet, "Wagh!!!" he yelped dropping the shaver to the floor, "Dad's shave! It's possessed!" he exclaimed when all of a sudden his entire body began to let out a powerful spark of electricity, "I'm a human fuse box!" he exclaimed while looking at himself on the mirror, "What the heck is going on?!" he exclaimed in confusion. Fortunately for Flash, he isn't the only one dealing with something like this in the early morning. Walking around the town is a teenage girl with a frown on her face. The girl has a light-greenish gray skin tone, a long blue hair and blue eyes. She wears a blue-green knee-length dress with yellow sleeves, yellow boots with green straps and a yellow sunglasses on top of her head. This is Blueberry Cake. "Color red? I hate the color red!!!" "Cool! I got myself and new Toledo Magazine!!!" "Mom is so gonna kill me for driving her car without her permission..." "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star~" Blueberry gritted her teeth in annoyance, ever since this morning, she has been hearing voices from her head. At first, she thought nothing of it until the voices gotten louder and louder at each passing time before realizing that she can hear other people's thought. Fortunately for her, she managed to find a way to temporary stop hearing other's thoughts via accident. Blueberry then pulls out a TV remote control from her purse and pressed the stop button and an instant, she stopped hearing voices. Blueberry breathes out a sigh in relief, "I don't know how that works but I'm glad it did.'' she muttered. Meanwhile at the Sweet Apple Acres, we see another teenage boy fixing a truck right next to a red-colored barn. The teenage boy is tall with a lean build, he has a light gamboge hair, moderate sap green eyes and a pale, light grayish amaranth skin tone with freckles on his face. He wears a red jacket with brown collar over a white t-shirt, blue jeans with a brown belt and red & white sneakers. This is Big McIntosh, also known as Big Mac. Big Mac is focused on fixing the truck's engine as he needed the vehicle for some deliveries on the next day. He then noticed that some parts are missing, he looks around before kneeling down and saw the missing parts under the truck. He then absentmindedly lifted the truck in a diagonal position before realizing what he has done, "Gah!!!" he yelped in shock before letting go of the truck which drops back down to the ground and miraculously didn't break. Upon making noise, a teenage girl peers out from the window of their house. The girl has a light-amber skin tone, a long blonde hair tied in a low ponytail, has green eyes and white freckles. She wears a white t-shirt with green sleeves and an apple logo on the chest, a blue denim skirt with ruffled ends and a red belt wrapped around her waist with a yellow buckle, brown apple-motif cowboy boots and a brown stetson hat. This is Applejack, the younger sister of Big Mac. "Big Mac! What was that noise?'' Applejack asked in concern. "Uhh... nothin'..." Big Mac answered with nervous grin, "Just... just hit my head hard from underneath the truck...'' he lied while is hoping that Applejack won't see through it. Applejack raised an eyebrow, "Are you sure?'' she asked. Big Mac nodded, "Eeyup..." he replied. "Ya need any help?'' Applejack asked. Big Mac shook his head, "Nope." he replied. Applejack raised an eyebrow before shrugging her shoulders, "If ya say so.'' she said before going back inside their house. Big Mac breathes out in relief before staring at his hands, still in disbelief of what he just did. Big Mac is a strong person, there is no doubt about that but he is nowhere near Applejack's level of strength with or without magic. Curious, Big Mac decided to try out this new discovery, he then grabs the truck and lifted it up high like a barbel. "Eeeeyupyupyupyup! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Eeeeyupyupyupyup!" was all could Big Mac say in disbelief and confusion at the sudden feat of his strength. A type of strength that only Applejack had! Meanwhile in another house somewhere in town, we see a teenage girl working on her garden of their front yard. The girl has a light greenish gray skin tone, she has a long, messy and tangled green hair and has grayish tangelo eyes. She wears a drab brown stripped sweater, plain bluish jean pants and flat, soft shoes without socks. This is Wallflower Blush. Wallflower is working on a small pot, digging a small hole using a hand shovel before carefully placing a small seed in it and then covering it with dirt. She then placed a her hand on top of the dirt before taking a look on a book next to her when suddenly her hand began to glow green, she looks back and took notice of her glowing green hand and let's out a gasp in shock. Upon letting her hand off the dirt, the seeds buried underneath the dirt suddenly began to grow in a very fast phase before turning into a healthy-looking bonsai tree. Wallflower stares at it in shock before looking at her still glowing green hand, "What...'' she muttered, "... how did I do that?'' she asked no one in particular when her hand suddenly stops glowing, "What's going on?'' she muttered in disbelief. Confused and intrigue, Wallflower pulls out another pot, digs a dirt and placed a single sunflower in it. She then placed both hands on top of the dirt, breathing out a nervous sigh when both of her hands glows green and all of sudden, the seeds rapidly grows into a tall and healthy sunflower. "Woah..." Wallflower exclaimed in awe of what she just did. Meanwhile back in town, we see a teenage boy walking around the streets with a frantic look on his face. The boy has a light-brown skin tone, a messy neck-length brown hair and has greenish-brown eyes. He wears a red jacket with a sharp collar over a dark-green & white pint-striped buttoned shirt, brown pants with a black, golden buckled belt wrapped around his waist, gray & white rubber shoes and a dark-green beanie hat. This is Norman, also known as Normal Norman, to his dismay. And why Norman had a frantic look on his face? Well... it's because he can see numbers on top of people's head which appears to be some sort of timer. He had no idea why he can see these things and has no idea what it's all about, and even it's even weirder because unlike everybody else, he can't see any timer above his head whenever he looks at himself in the mirror. Norman kept looking around in confusion when he notice an old man crossing the streets when all of a sudden, he saw a vision of the old man getting hit by a bus. Snapping out from the vision, he looks around and saw an oncoming bus making it's way towards the old man's direction. Norman's eyes widen in shock, "Look out!!!" he yelled before running towards the old man, grabbing him by the shoulder before pulling him away to safety just in time for the bus to drive past them in extreme speed. People then gathers around them, "Hey, are you two okay?'' a man asked in concern. The old man nodded, "I'm fine.'' he reassured while turning to Norman, "If it weren't for this youngster, I'd be toast.'' he commented, "Thank you.'' he said in gratitude. Norman smiled, "No problem.'' he reassured before getting off and then walking away, "Men... what's going on? Why am I seeing things like this?!" he exclaimed in his thoughts. Meanwhile at a junkyard located somewhere within the town, we see a teenage girl entering the place. The girl has a light-amber skin tone with a long red & yellow wavy hair and has cyan-colored eyes. She wears a black vest with yellow diamonds on the collar over an orange off-shoulder shirt, a black diamond-covered elastic belt wrapped around her waist, purple skirt with black straps, and a black strapped boots with colorful dots. This is Sunset Shimmer. Earlier today, she got a phone call from Flash telling her to meet him at the junkyard. Sunset finds this odd because whenever Flash wanted to meet her, they often do it at the Sugarcube Corner or at school. Calling her to the junkyard seems suspicious to her but she decided to go along with it. Sunset looks around while walking near a pile of car shells, "Flash? I'm here!" she called out, "Where are you?" she asked when all of a sudden the car shells began to float in the air, much to her shock, "W-What?!" she muttered as Flash made his presence on top of a pile of trash. "Now tell me that's not cool." Flash mused with his arms out. "Flash? Did you do that?'' Sunset asked with wide eyes, "H-How did you do that?'' she asked in shock. "I don't know." Flash replied, "I just woke up this morning and found myself emitting electricity.'' he explained, "I can even do stuffs like this.'' he said before charging his right hand with electricity before sending a shock towards a large pipe and uses the shock like a whip and threw the pipe to the other side of the area, "Talk about a static cling.'' he mused. "Flash!" Sunset called out in a serious tone, "This is no time for jokes! We don't know what kind of danger this new ability of yours had! It could turn you into a Midnight Sparkle or Gaea Evefree!" she pointed out in concern. "I'm aware of that." Flash admitted while sliding down the pile of trash, "At first I was afraid when I got this powers however... before you arrived, I've been testing this and I found out that I suffer no side effects, I don't feel sick, I don't feel like I'm possessed, nothing. As if I had this power all my life.'' he explained. "Still... it doesn't hurt to take precautions.'' Sunset advised which Flash nodded in agreement, "Anyway... where did you get this power?'' she asked. "I don't know." Flash admitted, "That's why I called you since you're an expert when comes with this stuff.'' he explained. "It doesn't seem like Equestrian magic, so it's really new to me.'' Sunset admitted, "What were you doing yesterday before you headed home?'' she asked. Flash crosses his arms, "Nothing much aside from taking Mister Doodles' surprise quiz and doing band practice.'' he replied when his eyes widen in realization, "Oh wait!" he said, "Last night... there was a meteorite that exploded in the sky!" he exclaimed, "You saw that right?'' he asked. "I heard in the news but never saw it.'' Sunset replied. The reports of the meteorite exploding in the sky last night was something Sunset never expected because it's something that doesn't occur very often and to be honest, she is kinda interested by the weird phenomenon but not more so than Twilight Sparkle, whom is practically searching for an explanation for the recent event. "Well, I was outside at the hills last night when the meteorite exploded." Flash claimed, "After that... it sends out a bright and colorful light that spreads out all over the town, and even went through me.'' he explained, "I think that light is the reason why I gain powers.'' he guessed. "That is possible." Sunset said in agreement, "And if it is... then why?'' she asked in worry, "What exactly was that meteorite?'' she added. "I can answer that question.'' a British-like voice spoke. Flash and Sunset turns around and saw the man from the rooftop walking towards them, "Who are you?'' the latter asked in suspicion. "Greetings! My name is Time Turner but you can call me, Dr. Whooves." the man greeted while introducing himself. Flash and Sunset looks at each other for a minute before the latter spoke, "How much you heard about our conversation?'' the latter demanded. "Most of it.'' Dr. Whooves admitted. "Okay... what do you mean that you know the answer to my question?'' Sunset asked. "Do you have an idea about that meteorite?'' Flash followed, "Or about my powers?'' he added. Dr. Whooves nodded, "Indeed, I am." he confirmed, "But I had to clarify that what you saw last night wasn't a meteorite.'' he claimed. "Excuse me?'' Sunset spoke, "Are you sure about that?'' she asked with an eyebrow raised. "I can prove that." Dr. Whooves claimed, "I am... an alien, after all.'' he said with a smile. Flash and Sunset then stares at him like crazy, ".... what?'' they said at the same time. > Explaining Things > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Later that day at the eight-floored apartment somewhere in town, we see Flash Sentry, Sunset Shimmer and Dr. Whooves at the rooftop. The place is pretty messy with boxes and various scraps scattered around the rooftop alongside three telescopes at the sides and a table counter with various chemical apparatus on top. "Sorry if the place is kinda messy." the doctor apologized, "I haven't gotten the time clean things up.'' he stated. Sunset crosses her arms, "What exactly do you do here anyway?'' she asked. "I do a lot of experiments here whenever I'm not at work." Dr. Whooves answered, "I worked at the Canterlot Research Facility by the way.'' he added, "Anyway... I think it's about time I explain things to you.'' he said. "Like you being an alien." Flash pointed out, "But aren't aliens suppose to be small with green skin, has big black eyes with a pair of antennas on their head and often say things like 'bring us to your leader'?" he stated. The doctor chuckled, "That is quite a description you have about aliens but I assure that some aliens takes on a form of a human.'' he explained. "But how can we be sure that you're an alien like you claim?'' Sunset asked with a raised eyebrow. The doctor nodded before pulling out a scalpel knife from one of the drawers of the counter, he then rolls his sleeves as Flash and Sunset's eyes widen in shock of what he is about to do, "Woah! Stop!" Flash exclaimed, "We believe you! Just don't do this!" he said in concern. The doctor shook his head, "It's all right, my boy.'' he reassured, "A little cut won't kill me... plus... this is the only way I can prove to you that I'm an alien.'' he explained before carefully slicing a part of his wrist without flinching as if he has done this several times before. Then all of a sudden a green liquid slowly crawls out of the small cut, much to Flash and Sunset's surprise. "Is that... blood?'' Sunset pointed out. "But why does it have green color?'' Flash asked in confusion. The doctor then quickly patches the small cut with two band-aids, "My species' blood have green color.'' he replied, "The reason for this is that we lack hemoglobin in our system.'' he explained, "So? Do you believe that I'm an alien now?'' he asked with a grin. "Okay... I believe in you...'' Flash spoke, "But what are you doing in this world?'' he asked. "You see, my boy, I'm the kind of alien that loves to travel all across the galaxy in search for new knowledge and to discover something unexpected.'' the doctor started, "I aim to become the greatest doctor in the entire universe.'' he confessed with a boastful grin, "Anyway... I came to this world about six months ago to see if I can discover something new here and what caught my interests is the strange phenomenons that occurred during the past months.'' he explained while unaware of the nervous look on Sunset's face, "Strange phenomenons that involves rainbows shooting out to the sky and a large apparition of a unicorn manifesting out of nowhere.'' he pointed out. "Are you talking about Equestrian magic?'' Flash guessed before wincing in pain when Sunset elbows him by the ribs, "Ow!" he yelped before turning to his ex, "What?'' he asked. "Flash! You just can't blurt that out in front of someone else!!" Sunset chastised. Flash's eyes widen in realization, "Oh right...'' he muttered, "Sorry.'' he apologized with a sheepish grin. "Equestrian Magic?'' the doctor repeated, "Is that what it's called? But why name it after the species of horses?'' he asked in confusion. Sunset sighed, "It's... it's a long story.'' she muttered in reply. "I have the time." the doctor declared, "But it's all right if you don't want to tell me.'' he reassured, "I can tell from the way you elbowed your companion that you don't want anyone else in knowing about this Equestrian Magic and I can assume that it can be dangerous once used for the wrong reasons.'' he speculated. Sunset stares at the doctor and is quite grateful that the man at least understands why she doesn't want other people getting involve about things that involves Equestrian Magic. However, Sunset feels that she can trust the man, he was very honest so far and isn't demanding like some other researchers. Sunset sighed before smiling, "All right.'' she complied. As Sunset explains things to the doctor, Flash looks around and took notice of a large circular-shaped plate in one box when an idea came to mind. "And that's about everything." Sunset finished. "Marvelous!!" the doctor exclaimed in awe, "And here I thought I'm the only person in this world that came from another world!" he mused, "But I'm still baffled at the fact that you're actually a pony in human form.'' he admitted. Sunset chuckled, "You're not the first person who feel that way.'' she mused. "Equestria, huh?'' the doctor muttered in awe, "Anyway... you can tell me more about that world in a later date but we had much more important things to talk about at the moment.'' he said when he notice something, "Including the power your friend possessed.'' he pointed out with a finger directed above them. "WHOO-HOOO!!!" a voice cheered. Sunset looks up and her eyes widen when she saw Flash flying around on a electric-powered disk, "Flash! What are you doing?!" she called out in concern. "Testing my powers." Flash replied with a grin, "Pretty neat, huh?'' he said, "Never knew you can actually use electromagnetism to make objects you step on to fly.'' he mused. "Get back down here!" Sunset advised in a scolding tone as Flash let's out a cheer as he continues to sky surfed around them. The doctor chuckled, "Looks like your friends is having fun with his powers.'' he mused. Sunset rolled her eyes, "Too much if you ask me.'' she grumbled. After finally convincing Flash to get back down to the ground, the doctor walks towards one of the three telescopes, "As I said before... what you saw last night is not a meteorite but an object known as an Enhancement Orb.'' he claimed. "Enhancement Orb?'' Sunset repeated with a raised eyebrow. "An Enhancement Orb is a scientifically generated magical artifact that uses to store various abilities, ranging from magical to physical abilities, by extracting them from an individual with a unique ability.'' the doctor started, "The orb is shaped-up like an egg of a size of a boulder and can be described as a bomb that when triggered will explode and will unleash a strong colorful shock wave of light.'' he explained, "And as shown from last night, the large and powerful shock wave of light was formed when the orb exploded, scattering all over the town and the light contains with the powers fueled inside the orb, and if an individual is caught on the way of the light, the genetics insides the body of said individual will be altered and he or she will gain powers.'' he explained. Flash and Sunset stares at him in awe, "Woah... so the light from last night is the reason why I gain powers.'' the former, "I don't know if I should be thankful or be scared.'' he admitted. "But how do you know all of this?'' Sunset asked. The doctor sighed, "Believe or not... I am one of the figures who created the Enhancement Orb.'' he confessed. This shocks both Flash and Sunset, "You? You created that thing?'' Flash asked, "But why?'' he added. The doctor took a seat, "It wasn't my intention.'' he said, "You see... aside from being a researcher, I'm also an inventor.'' he said, "I've created a lot of inventions during my travels, some proven useful and some are dud, but nonetheless, I enjoy creating things from scraps as much as I enjoy seeking for new knowledge.'' he stated, "One day... a galactic organization called the Black Agenda took notice of my inventing skills and hired me to work for them. They've tasked me and other fellow inventors to create the Enhancement Orb and after finishing creating the project is when I found out the real reason for it's creation.'' he explained. "What is it?'' Sunset asked in concern. "It turns out that Black Agenda is a secret evil organization led by an alien race called the Gorfs.'' the doctor revealed darkly. "Gorfs?" Flash repeated, "Frogs?'' he guessed. The doctor nodded, ''Indeed, the Gorfs are a frog-like alien race and are known to be dominant and violent, and their superiority complex are ridiculously high!" he explained, "They are also warmongers and often picks up fights with other alien species and often resulting into war.'' he added. "I guess the reason why the organization tasked you to create the Enhancement Orb, so they can make their army much stronger.'' Sunset deduced. "You are right about that but it's actually much worse!" the doctor exclaimed, "They wanted to use the Enhancement Orb to power up other people from different worlds and forces them to join their army without questions!!" he explained in utter disgust. "What?! That's insane!!" Sunset exclaimed in disbelief. "Now I'm regretting getting this power." Flash muttered with a blank look. "Picking up fights with other races is one thing but dragging innocents and forcing them to partake in their senseless war is utterly despicable!!" the doctor said in anger, "That's the whole reason why I left Black Agenda.'' he said. "So... since I got powers from that light... that means that they're after me now?" Flash deducted nervously. "Fortunately for you, I have launched a sixteen satellites all across the world from the past few months just in case something like this happens.'' the doctor reassured, "Those satellites has a special infrared blockers that will kept the Gorfs from detecting any individuals with powers.'' he explained. "Well that's good.'' Sunset muttered in relief. "However, the satellites can only prevent the Gorfs from detecting you people from outside but once they managed to step foot in this world, the satellites won't be able to block their devices from detecting them.'' the doctor reminded. "So, what are we gonna do now?'' Flash asked. "I plan on placing some devices on transmissions towers all over the town with the same infrared blockers however it will take time for me finish it.'' the doctor explained, "However, I suggest that we find other people with powers and explain to them what it's all about.'' he suggested. "Yeah... I'm pretty sure they're confused or even scared with their new found powers." Sunset said in agreement. "But how are we gonna find other people with powers?'' Flash asked. The doctor spoke, "I know how!" he claimed before bringing out a tamagotchi-shaped object, "We can find the others with this!" he presented. Sunset's eyes narrowed, "Is that a Tamagotchi?'' she asked with an indecorous look. "It's more than just a Tamagotchi, young lass!" the doctor mused, "This device can detect any person with abilities.'' he explained, "It's how I detected young Sentry when he used his powers at the junkyard.'' he said. Suddenly, the device let's out a beeping noise, "And looks like I'm detecting one right now.'' he said in surprise. "Really?" Flash asked in surprise, "Where?" he questioned. The doctor checks the device and raised an eyebrow, "The device says just right next to this apartment.'' he answered. The three looks at each other for a minute before leaning towards the edge of the rooftop and down below, they saw Blueberry Cake walking back and forth in the sidewalks with agitated look on her face. "Is that... Blueberry Cake?'' Sunset pointed out. "A friend of yours?'' the doctor asked. "She attends the same school as Flash and I but I barely talk to her.'' Sunset answered. "Wonder what's wrong with her?'' Flash muttered in question. Back down the streets, Blueberry decided to test her abilities out of curiosity, so she pressed the play button on the remote and immediately regretted it as some people's thoughts disgusted her. "Oh yeah~ Look at those booties~" "I'm ready to leave my virginity behind!" "I look forward for that hot and steamy session you promised~" "Hummina... hummina..." Blueberry gritted her teeth, "Ugh!!! What the heck is wrong with these people?!" she exclaimed in her thoughts. "Hey, Blueberry!!!" a voice called out her name. Blueberry's eyes shot wide open before looking up to see Flash, Sunset and an older man looking down at her from the rooftop of the apartment next to her with the former two waving their hands. Blueberry raised an eyebrow, "Flash? Sunset?'' she muttered their names in confusion. A minute later, Blueberry is seen at the rooftop of the apartment with the doctor finishing explaining things to her. "Let me get this straight.'' Blueberry said with a hand on her forehead, "The meteorite that exploded last night is not actually a meteorite but some sort magic-powered object fired by frog-like aliens and the light that was scattered from the explosion gave people like Flash and I some abilities, and the hot guy with you is an alien!!" she affirmed everything that was told to her while pointing a finger at the doctor. "I'm... flattered that you called me hot, miss.'' the doctor commented with an unsure expression. Sunset rolled her eyes, "Yeah... exactly.'' she confirmed. "Please tell me that your joking and it's actually Equestrian magic that caused this!" Blueberry pleaded, "Because I rather deal with Equestrian Magic instead of things that is related to aliens especially FROG-LIKE ALIENS!!!" she exclaimed in panic. "Don't worry, Blueberry.'' Flash reassured, "The doctor already launched some satellites around our world that will prevent the alien race from detecting us.'' he explained, "By the way... I can't help but think that your powers are pretty similar to Sunset.'' he commented. "Not exactly similar.'' Blueberry corrected, "Sunset can see someone's memories by touching them right?" she pointed out, "While I, on the other hand, can do more than just that.'' she claimed. "How so?'' Sunset asked with a raised eyebrow. "My ability involves the human mind which includes mental control, reading other people's memories, telepathy, changing a person's personality, willpower and memory destruction, revelation and transplantation of emotions, brainwashing, and psychometry." Blueberry explained, "And I can do that by using this!" she said presenting the remote control. Sunset looks at her in horror, "Have... have you already tested all of that?'' she asked nervously as Blueberry's abilities is dangerously similar to the Memory Stone. Blueberry nodded, "I did out of curiosity.'' she admitted, "And don't worry... I won't do anything that is similar to the Memory Stone incident.'' she reassured, "I'm not that kind of person and I'm all aware how much of a different person you are from before.'' she said with a smile. Sunset smiled back, "Thanks.'' she said. "So, what are we going to do now?'' Blueberry asked. "We're gonna use the tamagotchi-like device created by Doctor Whooves to detect the other people with powers like us.'' Flash answered, "But to be honest... we don't know where to start.'' he admitted. "And with the size of the light wave created by the explosion, we don't know how many people out there that gained powers.'' Sunset added. "This is quite a fickle, I must admit.'' the doctor admitted. Blueberry began to think when an idea came to mind, "How about starting with everyone in school?'' she suggested. This caught the other's attention, "What? Why at school?'' Sunset asked with a raised eyebrow. "There's a possibility that half our schoolmates gained powers like Flash and I did.'' Blueberry said, "And rather than searching them for hours, we could just gather everyone in one place, ask them if he or she has powers and explain thing to them afterwards." she explained, "And with everyone being aware of Equestrian Magic, I don't think the others will mind that some of our classmates suddenly gained powers.'' she stated. Sunset thought about it, "That's... not a bad idea." she admitted, "Okay! We'll go with that.'' she accepted, "Anyone had the contact numbers of everyone from school?'' she asked. "We're gonna need Pinkie Pie for that.'' Flash answered. > Gathering For Whatever > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Meanwhile in a 1950s-themed diner known as the Sweet Snacks Café, a lot of patrons can be seen inside. Usually having lunch, talking to their friends or dancing on the beat from the jukebox like what the pair of old couple are doing. Then we see a teenage girl rollerblading her way across the floor. The girl has a light-pinkish skin tone, a waist-length puffy pink hair tied in a ponytail and has light-blue eyes. She is currently wearing a light-blue frilled dress with puffy shoulders underneath a white apron with frills and a pink & yellow ribbon sash wrapped around her waist, blue frilled socks and wears a pair of white roller blades with pink wheels. She also wears a light-blue beret with a black band and two heart motifs. This is Pinkamena Diane Pie, also known as Pinkie Pie. Pinkie is holding a plate of grilled cheese sandwiches and a bowl of sundae on each hands, she then gracefully stops in front of a table where two teenage boys are sitting, "Here you go!" she said with a smile, "One plate of grilled cheese sandwiches and a bowl of sundae!" she announced. The first boy is tall with a light-blue skin tone, a curly blue flat top-like hair and has brown eyes. He wears a white track jacket with red trimmings over a blue t-shirt, blue pants and red & white rubber shoes. This is Curly Winds. The second boy has a small stature. He has a brown skin tone, he has a bowl-shaped like brown hair with dark-brown streaks, and has dark-brown eyes. He wears a light-brown long-sleeved collared shirt spangled with colorful dots, blue pants with a brown belt and red & white high-collared shoes. This is Whiz Kid. "All right! I've been waiting for this!" Curly exclaimed in glee towards the plate of grilled cheese sandwiches. "These looks good!" Whiz commented with a smile while taking a picture of the the sundae using his phone. Pinkie giggled, "Enjoy yourselves.'' she cheered when she heard her phone ring. Fishing it out from her apron's pockets, she quickly answers it, "Hello, Sunset.'' she greeted before listening, "Oh! You want me to send you every number of our schoolmates." she said out loud which caught Curly and Whiz' attention, "Why though?'' she asked before letting out a gasp when an idea came to mind, "You want to be friends with everyone!!" she guessed with a bright smile when she suddenly frowned, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT'S NOT WHAT YOU'RE AFTER?!" she demanded while slamming a hand on the table, startling the boys on the process, "Okay... uh-huh... okay...'' she said while listening before smiling brightly, "Okie-dokie!" she complied, "See ya later, Sunset!" she said before ending the call. "Was that... Sunset?'' Curly asked. "And did I hear that right?'' Whiz asked, "She's asking the numbers of every students in our school.'' he pointed out. Pinkie nodded, "Yup!" she confirmed with a big smile. "But what for?'' Curly asked with a raised eyebrows. Pinkie shrugged her shoulders, "I don't know.'' she replied, "It's probably something to do with the story's plot where we are all needed together because of what happened last night and for what's going to happen in the next few days!" she explained rather fast with a smile on her face. Curly and Whiz stares at her in bewilderment, "Whut?!" they muttered in reply. Back in the apartment's rooftop, we see Sunset Shimmer, Flash Sentry, Blueberry Cake and Dr. Whooves gathered around the counter-top table while sitting on stools when Sunset's phone began to ring. Sunset then check her phone, "Okay... I got everyone's numbers.'' she announced with an uncertain expression. Blueberry raised an eyebrow, "So... what are you waiting for?'' she asked. Sunset sighed, "I just hope that everything works for everyone after this.'' she said in concern. "Come on, Sunset.'' Flash spoke, "We've all been through a lot of magical mishaps and I believe that everything will be all right as long as we work this one out together.'' he said with a smile. Sunset smiled back, "I hope your right.'' she replied. Blueberry stares at them for a minute before speaking, "Are you sure that both of you aren't back together?'' she asked with a raised eyebrow. This caused both Sunset and Flash's cheeks to blush, "W-What?!" the bacon-haired girl squawked, "Why are you asking us with something like that?!" she exclaimed in disbelief while Flash rubs the back of his neck. "There have been rumors flying lately that the two of you have gotten back together after that toaster-robot incident." Blueberry explained, "I'm quite interested myself and has been wondering ever since.'' she admitted. "We're not back together, Blueberry! We're just friends!" Sunset exclaimed while Flash winced when she mentioned that they're just friends. Sunset let's out a sigh, "L-Let's just get this started...'' she grumbled as she began to send a mass text message to every student in their school. "Friends, huh?'' Flash whispered with a dejected look which Blueberry took notice. Meanwhile at the Sweet Apple Acres, Big Mac slides back out from underneath the truck, he let's out a breath of relief now that the truck is fixed. Then his phone let's out a ring, Big Mac checks on it and saw Sunset's message, and raised an eyebrow. Inside their house, Applejack also received a message from Sunset, "Huh? Wonder what's up?'' she muttered while scratching the top of her head. At Wallflower's home, we see the aforementioned girl placing some stuffs in their shed when her phone let's out a ring, Wallflower checks on it and saw Sunset's message. "Meet us at the school's gym." Wallflower read out loud, "What's this about?'' she asked when an idea came to mind before staring at her hands, "Maybe she knows something about the weird magic I have.'' she guessed. Meanwhile at a diner, we see Normal Norman alongside two teenage boys sitting at one table. The first boy has a yellow skin tone, he has red semi-long hair and has green eyes. He wears a pink long-sleeved collared shirt underneath a violet vest, black pants, brown shoes and a towel wrapped around his neck. This is Nolan North. The second boy has a light-green skin tone, a green messy hair and has light-green eyes. He wears a dark-green shirt over a lime-collared buttoned shirt, green pants, brown shoes, an orange scarf around his neck and a dirty-green fedora hat. This is Scott Green. Nolan and Scott are having a conversation while Norman had annoyed look on his face while taking a sip of his smoothie, trying his best not to stare at the numbers on top of his friends' heads. Suddenly, his phone let's out a ring, he then checks on it and raised an eyebrow at the message. He then heard Nolan spoke, "What the? Sunset just texted me to meet them at the school's gym.'' he announced with a surprised look on his face. "Yeah... me, too.'' Scott said in agreement. Norman then sported a confused look on his face before checking back the message on his phone and realized that he got the same message as his friends, "What the heck is going on?!" he thought. Later that day at the Canterlot High School, we see Applejack, Pinkie Pie and four more girls walking down the hallways, making their way towards the school's gym. Pinkie is now wearing a white top with blue outlines and balloon logos on her chest, a pink tutu-like ruffled skirt over a white leggings and blue sandals with pink ribbon laces. The next girl has a light-blue skin tone, a moderate cerise eyes and has a multi-colored waist-length hair akin to a rainbow. She wears a blue hoodie track jacket with green & orange linings over a white t-shirt with her symbol etched on it, a dark-blue leggings with colorful thunder strike designs, a colorful sneakers and armbands. This is Rainbow Dash. The second girl has a pale, olive skin tone, opal-colored eyes and a long wavy, light pink hair. She wears a blue dress with a frilled outlines and a butterfly motif, and a pink butterfly-buckled belt wrapped around her waist over a pink laced top, a white cut-off sleeves with blue collar-lines and a pink laced pumps with ribbons. This is Fluttershy. The third girl has a pale-white skin tone, a waist-length luscious indigo hair and has azure eyes. She wears a blue dress top with diamonds designs and a diamond-buckled belt wrapped around her waist, purple skirt, purple diamond-covered pumps and a pair of yellow bracelets. This is Rarity. The fourth girl has a pale, light grayish mulberry skin tone, she has moderate violet eyes and she has a long, moderate sapphire blue with moderate violet and brilliant rose streaks tied in a high ponytail. She wears a blue blouse with purple stripes, white collar and red ribbon tie, a purple high-waist skirt, blue socks and blue rubber shoes. She also wears black framed glasses. This is Twilight Sparkle. "Any idea what might be the reason why Sunset texted us to meet her in the gym?'' Applejack asked. "I haven't the slightest clue." Twilight replied, "Whatever it is... it's probably something important.'' she deducted. Fluttershy then spoke, "Oh... you don't think that she came across another Equestrian Magic problems.'' she guessed in concern. "That's a possibility, darling.'' Rarity said, "Sunset never calls us together unless something is really important.'' she pointed out, "Unlike some certain person.'' she muttered while eyeing at Rainbow Dash. The rainbow-haired girl rolled her eyes, "You called everyone for a piece of guitar string and you're labeled for life.'' she grumbled in annoyance. Pinkie merrily skips forward, "Sunset definitely has something important to say to everyone!" she chimed in with a smile. Twilight turns to her, "What do you mean by everyone?'' she asked with a raised eyebrow. "During my work at the Sweet Snacks Café, Sunset called and asked me if I could send her the contact numbers of everyone from this school!" Pinkie explained before letting out a gasp, "You don't think that whatever Sunset has in mind right now involves everybody else!" she exclaimed. "That's just ridiculous, Pinkie Pie.'' Twilight debunked, "Sunset is not the type of person to involve other people with certain problems especially if it involves Equestrian Magic.'' she explained. "If that's the case... then why Sunset asked for everyone's contact numbers?'' Applejack asked. "She probably has a reason for that." Twilight replied. The girls then reaches the front doors of the gym as Rainbow spoke, "Well... whatever it is, we'll know soon enough once Sunset tells us what's this all about.'' she stated before pushing the doors open. Upon entering the gym, the girls were greeted by the sight of students hanging out by the bleachers, muttering and whispering to each other while figuring out what's going on. The students present are Applebloom, Aqua Blossom, Baton Switch, Big Mac, Blueberry Pie, Bon Bon, Brawley Beats, Bright Idea, Bulk Biceps, Captain Planet, Cherry Crash, Cloudy Kicks, Crimson Napalm, Curly Winds, Derpy Hooves, Diamond Tiara, Fido, Fuchsia Blush, Ginger Owlseye, Golden Hazel, Heath Burns, Indigo Wreath, Lavender Lace, Lyra Heartstrings, Maud Pie, Micro Chips, Mystery Mint, Nolan North, Normal Norman, Octavia Melody, Paisley, Photo Finish, Pixel Pizzaz, Raspberry Fluff, Ringo, Rose Heart, Roseluck, Rover, Sandalwood, Scootaloo, Scott Green, Scribble Dee, Silver Spoon, Snails, Snips, Sophisticata, Spot, Starlight, Sweet Leaves, Sweetie Belle, Teddy, Tennis Match, Thunderbass, Torchsong, Toe-Tapper, Trixie Lulamoon, Valhallen, Velvet Sky, Vinyl Scratch, Violet Blurr, Wallflower Blush, Watermelody, Whiz Kid and Zephyr Breeze. The girls' eyes widen in surprise, "Woah..." Rainbow muttered in awe. "She did called everyone!!!" Twilight exclaimed in disbelief. "Hey!" a voice called as the girls turns to see Trixie, Sandalwood and Micro walking towards them, "Is Sunset with you?'' Trixie asked, "She texted all of us to come here in the gym but she's nowhere to be found.'' she stated. "Sorry darling, we came here without Sunset.'' Rarity replied. "Is these everyone?'' Applejack asked. Sandalwood shook his head, "We're missing three people.'' he replied, "Flash Sentry, Blueberry Cake and Sunset Shimmer, herself.'' he listed off. "Huh? That's strange.'' Pinkie admitted. "Does anyone know what's going on?'' Trixie asked rather impatiently, "Trixie is really confused right now!" she exclaimed. Micro tips his glasses, "Could it be that another Equestrian Magic mishap is at hand?'' he guessed. "We thought of that possibility.'' Twilight replied, "But we don't know for sure.'' she admitted. Suddenly, the doors opens and everyone saw Flash, Sunset and Blueberry Cake entering the gym as Twilight spoke, "Sunset!!!" she called out as she, the rest of the Rainbooms, Trixie, Sandalwood and Micro approaches them, "We got your text.'' she said, "What is going on and why is everybody here?'' she asked. "Are we dealing with another Equestrian Magic?'' Rainbow asked with excitement in her voice. "Did someone found another Equestrian Artifact and using it for their own gain?'' Rarity followed in concern. "Did you found another portal to Equestria?" Applejack asked. "Did Micro's toaster robot gone on rampage again?!" Pinkie exclaimed. "Hey!!!" Micro called out in annoyance. Sunset raised her hands up, "Woah! Woah!" she exclaimed, "One at a time girls.'' she advised, "And no! No we're not dealing with anything from Equestria.'' she answered. "We're not?'' Fluttershy asked in surprise. Sunset nodded, "It's really weird but I think it's better if Flash and I explain it front of everyone.'' she suggested. And with that, the Rainbooms, Trixie, Sandalwood and Micro joined the others at the stand while Sunset, Flash and Blueberry Cake standing in front of them. "Okay..." Sunset started, "You're all probably wondering why we're all gathered here today.'' she pointed out. Trixie rolls her eyes, "Of course, we are.'' she grumbled with her arms crossed. "Like I said before... we're not dealing with any Equestrian Magic.'' Sunset declared, "But we're dealing with something much worse.'' she claimed. "W-Worse..." Fluttershy squeaked in fear. Sunset then began to explain everything that the doctor has told them while Flash and Blueberry would support her by adding more details in her words and after she is done explaining, everyone stares at them in shock. "So... any questions?'' Sunset asked with a nervous grin. Twilight then raised her hand, "I have one.'' she claimed, "Nothing too serious or anything... just a simple question.'' she stated when suddenly got into Sunset's face, "How? How is it that the meteorite from last night isn't really a meteorite but an alien-made object?! How did it explode? How the light from the explosion could give anyone powers? Are aliens even real? If so... I wanna meet one of them now!!!" she bombarded Sunset with questions with a giddy expression. Not only Twilight but Micro and the rest of the techies had the look of interests as well. Sunset then lightly pushes Twilight back with her left hand, "Cool your jets, Twilight! You'll meet him soon enough.'' she said, "And yes, the meteorite from last night is actually an alien-made object known as an Enhancement Orb. Within reasons, it was created to recruit people that gained powers and forces them join a senseless war.'' she explained, "Flash and Blueberry here were caught by the light of the explosion last night and were given powers.'' she pointed out, "And the reason why I called for everyone here is to ask if someone else got caught by the light and found themselves with such powers.'' she finished. Sunset and Flash then took notice the uncertain looks their schoolmates are making, confirming at least that some of them has powers but are afraid to show it. Flash then spoke, "Guys!" he called out getting everyone's attention, "I know that some of you gotten some powers but are too nervous or scared to show it and I understand that.'' he said, "I had to admit that I'm scared as well.'' he admitted, "I mean... we only got these powers for some frog-like alien scumbags to use for their stupid war.'' he admitted, "But don't worry... the doctor has already found a way to prevent that from happening.'' he reassured, "I understand that some of you are scared about your powers but just like what Sunset said about embracing magic... we had to embrace our powers, don't hold back and let it out, let your powers become part of you." he explained with a tight fist, "We may have these powers for all the wrong reasons but we could use it for something good!" he declared, "We don't need to fear our powers once we make it our own! As long as we had each other, we are stronger, we are invincible and best of all... we are WONDERCOLTS!!!" he finished with fist raised up high as everyone let's out a cheer. Sunset smiled at Flash and can't help but feel grateful when he mentioned her name in his speech. Taking notice of everyone gaining confidence after hearing Flash's speech, she decided that it's about time to ask who else got powers, "All right...'' she started, "With that done... would you kindly raise your hand if you had any powers?'' she advised. And with the exception of the Rainbooms, everyone on the bleachers raised their hands which greatly shocks Sunset, Flash and Blueberry on the process. "What? All of you got powers?!" Sunset exclaimed in shock. "What the heck were you guys doing outside last night?!" Rainbow demanded in disbelief. "Hey! It was a nice weekend night! We wanted to have fun!" Trixie replied with a few nodding in agreement. Flash scratches the top of his head, "Wow... this is beyond what I expected.'' he commented. Blueberry then spoke, "Well... now we know that nearly everyone in our school got powers.'' she mused, "But what are we going to do next?'' she asked. "The doctor said that we should all work together in search for other people with powers.'' Flash answered, "With how big the explosion is, we still don't know how many people out there that were caught by that light.'' he explained. "So, all we need to do is find these people, explain things to them and convince them to use their powers for good." Rainbow stated. "Kinda like that.'' Sunset affirmed. "But... what if that person turns out to be bad?'' Fluttershy asked nervously. "We thought of that, too." Sunset admitted, "The doctor is aware that some people might use their newfound powers for their own accord, causing trouble and creating crimes.'' she stated, "We can reason with some of them but there are others that are beyond reasons.'' she declared. Flash then spoke, "That's where we come in.'' he said, "If these persons are using their powers for the worse, we'll be the ones to stop them.'' he declared. "With all of us having powers, the Rainbooms and I having Equestrian Magic while the rest are powered by the Enchancement Orb, we'll be the ones to stop these people, either bringing them to justice or showing them the right path!" Sunset added with everyone nodding in agreement. "I'm fine with that." Micro admitted, "But some of us haven't full master our abilities yet.'' he pointed out. "He does have a point." Twilight said in agreement. "I have the solution for that!" a voice exclaimed. Everyone then turns to see Dr. Whooves standing at the gym's doorway with a triumphant pose, a few then raised an eyebrow at the man. "Uhh... who is he?'' Applejack asked. "That's... Dr. Whooves.'' Sunset replied with a blank look, "And he's the alien that we're talking about.'' she revealed. "WHAAAAAAAAATTTT?!?" everyone shouted in shock. > Showing Of Powers > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- After Dr. Whooves introduced himself to everyone and answering some questions from Twilight Sparkle and her fellow egg-heads, the doctor suggested that everyone should train their new-found powers, so when trouble arises, they are ready to face it heads on without second thoughts. "But why in a junkyard?'' Sunset Shimmer asked in disbelief. Currently, everyone are gathered around at the junkyard, testing their powers, much to the bewilderment of Sunset and the rest of Rainbooms (except for Pinkie Pie, of course!). Dr. Whooves rubs the back of his head, "Well... I would have suggest the rooftop of my apartment however when I found that most of your schoolmates has powers, I decided to move it here which is a lot more spacious.'' he answered, "But don't you worry, I am friends with the guard here and he is all aware of our purpose.'' he reassured while pointing a finger at the side. Sunset turns to the direction the doctor is pointing and saw a guard with a donut and a cup of coffee in hand while watching everyone with a smile. "Huh... that's really nice of him.'' Sunset commented in surprise, "So... what should we do now?'' she asked. The doctor raised a finger, "Let's go check the others and see if there's anything we can add to improve their abilities.'' he answered. Sunset nodded, "Fine with me.'' she complied. The doctor and Sunset then approaches one part of the junkyard where they saw Big Mac, Applejack, Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, Starlight and Teddy gathered next to a pile of junks. "Hey, everyone.'' Sunset greeted getting everyone's attention, "Something the matter?'' she asked. "Hey, Sunset." Applejack greeted back, "Big Mac and I here are wondering how different my super strength to his.'' she replied, "We tried to see the difference but so far, the results are the same.'' she explained. The doctor thought about this, "I see...'' he muttered when in idea came to mind, "How about this?'' he said, "Miss Applejack? Can you carry an entire pile of cars?'' he asked. Applejack chuckled, "I can carry a gigantic boulder at ease, so those cars will be a piece of pie.'' she mused before walking towards a mountain of wrecked cars before simply hoisting it up above her head, "See? Easy as pie.'' she said as everyone gave her an applause. Dr. Whooves nodded, "Very impressive." he admitted before turning to Big Mac, "Now Mister McIntosh, I want you carry Applejack with one hand while she's still carrying the cars.'' he instructed. "Ya want him to do what?'' Applejack asked in disbelief. Big Mac looks skeptical at first but decided to test it out, he walks towards his sister and gently holds her left foot with one hand and easily hoisted her alongside the mountain of cars up above his head, "Eeuyupyupyupyup! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Eeuyupyupyupyup!" he blabbered in shock and disbelief. "Wow! That's impressive!" Sunset commented in awe. "Indeed." the doctor said in agreement, "But there's one more thing I want to test out." he confessed, "Mister McIntosh... I want you to carry the cars this time with Applejack doing the same as you did right now.'' he instructed. Big Mac places Applejack back down with his sister dropping the cars to the ground, Big Mac then proceeds to carry the mountain cars in ease and after that, Applejack gently holds his left foot with one hand however, she finds herself struggling at first, trying to hoist him up twice but managed to lift him up on her third attempt but everyone noticed Applejack's shaking arms. The doctor nodded, "As expected, Miss Applejack has no problems doing the same thing.'' he said, "The difference is that Miss Applejack had to struggle to do it while Mister McIntosh can do it with ease." he explained. "Now we know the difference." Sunset mused. Applejack then looks up at Big Mac, "Huh? Guess you're a lot stronger than me now, Big Mac.'' she admitted. Big Mac smiled, "Just by an inch.'' he pointed out. Sunset then turns to Applebloom, "So, Applebloom, what's your powers?'' she asked, "Is it similar to Applejack and Big Mac?'' she guessed. Applebloom rubs the back of her head, "Not even close." she admitted, "My powers is kinda... childish.'' she claimed with a blush. "Childish?'' Sunset repeated, "What do you mean by that?'' she asked. Applebloom sighed, "Well... you see... I had the ability to turn toys into real things.'' she revealed. "Really? Sounds interesting.'' Sunset admitted, "Can you show it?'' she beckoned. "I would if I had a toy right now." Applebloom replied. The doctor then handed Applebloom a toy car, "Here!" he said, "You can try using your powers with this.'' he stated. Applebloom nodded as she held the toy car with both hands, "Here goes.'' she muttered as her hands glows brightly before releasing the glow as it grew bigger, the light then subsided revealing that the toy car has transformed into a large sports car. "Cool~" Sunset, Starlight and Teddy muttered in awe. "That was great, Applebloom!" Sweetie cheered. The doctor nodded in agreement, "Indeed.'' he said, "I believe that Miss Applebloom's powers will be very useful in the future.'' he stated. "If we ever need a new tractor...'' Applejack spoke, "... we can just buy a toy tractor and had Applebloom turn it into a real deal.'' she suggested, "That'll save us some money.'' she said. "Eeyup!" Big Mac said in agreement. Meanwhile at another side of the junkyard, we see Fido and Rover setting up a shooting range with bullseye targets while Scott Green, Rarity Belle, Nolan North and Rose Heart stood by the side. "So, what are you doing, Scott?'' Rarity asked. "I may not received any super powers but I found myself the skills of a very experienced archer." Scott admitted with a flamboyant British accent, "I wanna test out that my aims are very accurate.'' he stated, "Are the targets ready?'' he called out as Fido and Rover raised a thumbs-up in response. "Well, good-luck, darling." Rarity encouraged. Scott gave her a confident smile before firing an arrow and hitting the red spot in the middle as Nolan claps his hands, "Impressive but Applejack and Fluttershy can do that as well." he pointed out, "You need to something else if you want your archer skills appears different.'' he stated. Scott let's out a chuckle, "I'm all aware of that." he admitted before firing three shots, hitting all three targets, "I'm not done yet.'' he claimed before firing six more arrows and all hits one target with one arrow piercing through another, "I can even do it without looking.'' he boasted before turning around and firing another shot which successfully hits it's target. Scott turns around and blew a kiss towards his handy work. "That was amazing, Scott!" Rarity cheered in awe. "I had to admit... that was really cool.'' Nolan admitted, "But you're not gonna use those arrows in a battle?" he questioned, "I mean... those are enough to hurt someone badly.'' he pointed out. Scott chuckled again, "I am fully aware of that as well.'' he replied, "That is why I prepared some special arrows that I created myself.'' he claimed while presenting them some arrows with rubber tips, "I replaced the sharp tips with rubber however it hurts like rubber bullets, so don't take it's appearance very lightly.'' he explained. "Very creative." Nolan commented, "Anything else?'' he asked. Scott chuckled once more, "Watch and be amazed." he advised before pulling out another arrow with a sphere-shaped tip while aiming it towards Snips, Snails and Spot before letting it go, the tip then collapses and let's out a large net and captures the three boys to the ground. "AAAAAAAHHH!!!!" Snails screamed. "Get this off! Get this off!" Snips shouted. Scott then turns to everyone, "That arrow has customized net inside that can be activated once I launched it.'' he explained, "I had other more arrow with a variety of usage.'' he claimed, "Care to see me demonstrate it?'' he asked with a grin. "Oh, I'm interested.'' Rarity admitted, "Just don't use them on the boys.'' she advised while pointing a finger at Snips, Snails and Spot struggling to get out off the net. Meanwhile on another part of the junkyard, just behind a pile of broken appliances, we see Twilight Sparkle alongside Bright Idea, Scribble Dee and Velvet Sky gathered around Micro Chips. "So, what's your amazing powers, Micro?'' Twilight asked with a grin. Micro tips his glasses, "You'll be surprised of what I can do now, Twilight.'' he claimed with a smirk, "All right, Bright! Make me angry!" he ordered. "Uh... how?'' Bright asked in confusion. "Throw insults at me! Belittle me! Tell me that I'm biggest loser in the world!" Micro egged. "I don't think that's going to work." Velvet pointed out, "I mean... you can't get angry by asking people to insult you.'' she explained, "You had to find a way to get yourself legitimately angry.'' she said. "Huh? You got a point." Micro admitted. "Why does he need to get angry?'' Twilight asked in confusion. "It's the only way for him to activate his powers." Bright answered. Scribble then brought out her phone, scrolling down a bit before letting out gasp, "Oh no!" she yelped, "Micro! JVJ-24601 has been accidentally thrown into the trash by the janitor!!" she exclaimed in shock. Micro turns to her in shock, "What?!" he yelled before his face morphs into anger, "Grrrr..." he growled, "GRAAAAAGH!!!" he roared with veins forming around his neck and his eyes nearly popping out. "W-What's going on?'' Twilight asked in concern on what's happening to her rival. "Micro is transforming." Bright answered with a casual smile. Suddenly, Micro's body grew larger and larger, his muscles increases while his clothes were torn off, leaving him only in his pants, "GRAAAAGHHH!!! MICRO ANGRY!!!" he roared in anger before slowly calming down, "Oh look! I transformed!" he mused. "Micro! What happened to you?!" Twilight asked in shock. "This is my powers, Twilight!" Micro answered, "I had the ability to turn myself into a hulking monster!" he revealed, "I'm a lot stronger in this form, I can jump higher than I usually does and I can use gamma-radiated attacks!" he listed off, "And I can transform into this form whenever I'm angry.'' he stated. Twilight tips her glasses, "Well... I'll admit that your powers are impressive.'' she admitted, "But you may want to find another way for you to transform.'' she suggested. "You have a point." Micro said in agreement before letting out a dejected sigh. "What's wrong, Micro?'' Velvet asked. "I just can't believed that the janitor accidentally threw JVJ-24601 to the trash.'' Micro grumbled in disbelief. Scribble then spoke, "Actually, Micro, I was lying.'' she confessed, "You wanted to get angry, so I decided to say that, so you can activate your power." she explained. "Huh? I'm in shock but I can't hardly blame you for that." Micro replied. Meanwhile at another side of the junkyard, we see Fluttershy, Sandalwood, Derpy Hooves, Roseluck and Captain Planet gathered around Wallflower Blush as the green-haired gardener demonstrates her powers. Wallflower had both of her hands glowing green as a pair of bamboo plants grew out from two drums as everyone watches in awe. "Wow, Wallflower...'' Fluttershy spoke, "Those bamboo trees looks beautiful.'' she commented, "Your powers are really something.'' she said. "Dudette... you could totally create an entire forest in just one go.'' Captain commented. Wallflower rubs the back of her head, "T-Thanks...'' she said with a small smile, "Though I don't plan on using my powers much as I prefer the standard ways of gardening.'' she admitted. "That's understandable." Fluttershy said with a smile. Wallflower then turns to Sandalwood, "So, what are your powers, Sandalwood?'' she asked with a curious look. "My powers are kinda similar to yours.'' Sandalwood answered. "What do you mean by that?'' Wallflower asked. Sandalwood smiled, "I think it's better that I show it to you guys.'' he replied. He then took a deep breath before suddenly, his hands began to glow green, he then raised right hand up as a large vine shots out from the ground, much to everyone's surprise, "This is my power! The ability to manipulate plants!" he declared. "Woah..." Wallflower muttered in awe. "I'm getting some flash backs from Camp Everfree." Captain confessed, "Bad ones to be exact.'' he added. "I can also do this." Sandalwood claimed before raising his left hand up when suddenly, a large Venus Flytrap shots out from the ground and let's out a loud hiss, scaring everyone on the process. "AAAAAAHHH!!!!" Fluttershy, Derpy, Roseluck and Captain let's out a scream in fright. Sandalwood chuckled, "Don't worry, the Venus Flytrap won't hurt ya.'' he reassured. Everyone then saw Wallflower petting the monstrous plant, "He's right! Who's the good boy~ Who's the good boy~" she cooed as the plant moans like a dog. Fluttershy giggled, "Ain't that adorable.'' she commented. Meanwhile in yet another part of the junkyard, we see Rainbow Dash, Thunderbass, Tennis Match, Crimson Napalm, Mystery Mint and Blueberry Cake gathered at one corner with a few dummies tied to a pole. "All right! I wanna see you guys use your powers, and see if it's cool and awesome as I am!" Rainbow declared. Blueberry rolled her eyes, "Must everything to you involves being cool and awesome?'' she asked indecorously. "Hey! You have me in this super cool and awesome team, so I expect everyone to be the same!" Rainbow replied before pointing a finger at Crimson, "Okay, Crimson, you're up first!" she declared, "What's your powers?'' she asked. "Me?'' Crimson asked in surprise, "Umm... I don't have super powers but I gained abilities of a very, experienced swordsman.'' he revealed while rubbing the back of his head. Rainbow crosses her arms, "Really? Then show us." she egged. Crimson looks around, "Anyone had a stick or something I can hold on to?'' he requested. Tennis then handed him a tennis racket, "Will this be enough?'' she asked. Crimsons smiled, "More than enough.'' he said before walking towards a dummy, "Hiyaaah!!!" he shouted while spinning around and slicing the dummy in a vertical line. "Woah! That was good." Thunderbass commented. "Meh! That's too common." Rainbow shrugged. Crimson slightly turns his head, "Hey, Tennis, I need another racket.'' he requested as Tennis threw him another one, "All right..." he muttered while crosses the two rackets across his chest, "GRAAAGH!!!" he roared before slicing another dummy, leaving an x-mark on it. "Daring Do can do stuffs like that too, you know." Rainbow pointed out unimpressed. Crimson narrowed his eyes before pulling out a black cloth from his pocket and then wrapping it around his forehead which nearly obscures his eyes, "Hand me another racket, Tennis.'' he asked as Tennis threw him another one before facing Rainbow, much to her confusion. "Uhh... aren't you suppose to aim for the dummies?'' Rainbow pointed out indecorously. Crimson then crosses the two rackets across his chest and places the third racket in his mouth horizontally behind them, "I am aiming at a dummy.'' he muttered before dashing towards Rainbow in high speed, "Ogre Cutter!" he shouted as he goes through Rainbow Dash as a burst of winds was felt around her. At first nothing happened until Rainbow's entire clothes were ripped apart leaving her only with her black sports bra and shorts, "DIIIIAAAAHHH!!!" she screamed in shock with a red face while covering herself. "OOOOOHHH!!!" Thunderbass and the other boys cheered in awe. Crimson then did a pose, "Impressed now?'' he questioned with an uncaring look. Zephyr Breeze then dashes towards him with a smoking lollipop in his mouth, "You bastard!!" he yelled before swinging a kick towards Crimson whom dodges it in ease, "How dare you do something like that to Rainbow Dash!!" he demanded angrily before placing his hands in his pockets and lifting his leg up, "I'm gonna make you pay for that, you lawnhead!" he declared. Crimson then got into a fighting stance, "Bring it on, you womanizing idiot.'' he beckoned. And with that, Crimson and Zephyr began to fight while Thunderbass and the others watches them while cheering at the same time. Blueberry then turns to Rainbow, "Would you look at that, Rainbow? Two boys are fighting over you.'' she said with a teasing grin. "SHUT UP AND GET ME SOME CLOTHES!!!" Rainbow demanded with an extremely red face. As this is going on, we see Sunset and Dr. Whooves in the middle of the area, watching everyone with a smile when the former realized that someone is missing. "Hey! Where's Flash?'' Sunset asked. "WHOO-HOOO!!!" a voice cheered. Sunset and the doctor looks up and saw Flash flying around on a disk while leaving a trail of spark behind. Flash then charges both of his hands with electricity before shooting it towards a pile of scraps, levitating it up in the air, rolling it into a large ball and using static & magnetism, he threw the large ball made of scrap towards a tower of wrecked cars, knocking it down like dominoes. "Oh yeah!!!" Flash cheered with his left fist raised up high. Sunset rolled her eyes, "The dork sure seems to be having fun.'' she mused. The doctor chuckled in response, "He sure is.'' he said in agreement. Meanwhile, sitting far away from everyone, we see Normal Norman sitting on top of another pile of wrecked cars, watching everyone with a tired expression. Then Pinkie Pie appears next to him, "Hey, Norman!" she greeted which surprises him a bit, "What are you doing here?" she asked, "Aren't you going to train your powers, too?'' she beckoned. Norman sighed, "I can't, Pinkie.'' he replied, "My powers aren't exactly suited for combat.'' he admitted. Pinkie then sat next to him, "What is your power?'' she asked. Norman sighed once more, "I don't really understand much about it but I can see numbers or more specifically timers that is counting down on everyone's head.'' he stated. "Counting down for what?'' Pinkie asked. Norman turns to her with a dreadful expression, "I can't tell you, Pinkie, I don't wanna tell you.'' he cried out, "I can't tell anyone the purpose of my powers because of how twisted and scary it is!" he exclaimed before putting two hands on his face in distress. Pinkie stares at him with a blank expression before pulling out a cupcake from her hair, "Cupcake?'' she offered as Norman slowly turns to her and gladly accepted it. Pinkie then suddenly pulls him in a hug, "Don't worry, Norman, everything is going to be all right, I promise.'' she reassured with a big smile. Norman was stunned for a minute before smiling, "Thanks, Pinkie Pie.'' he said in gratitude before taking a bite of the cupcake. > An Explosive Problem > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's been days since everyone got their powers and it seems that they all managed to get a hang of it except for Normal Norman whom refuses to know the full extent of his powers and capabilities out of fear. It is quite a nice day in Canterlot City as we head towards the park where we see people walking around the area. Sleeping under a tree's shade, we see Crimson Napalm using his arms and hands as a pillow and his legs crossed while his girlfriend, Scribble Dee sits next to him, reading a comic. We then see Indigo Wreath walking his dog across a path before waving a hand towards Lyra Heartstrings and Bon Bon from a bench as both girls waves back at him. Meanwhile, gathered in front of an ice cream truck, we see Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon having a conversation when Snips and Snails walks towards them. "Hey, Applebloom." Snips called. Applebloom turns to the boys, "Yes?'' she answered. "Is it true that you had the power to turn toys into a real thing?'' Snips asked. Applebloom nodded in response, "Oh!" he yelped in surprise before quickly showing them a Thanos action figure, "Can you turn this action figure into a real thing?'' he requested with a cheeky smile. The girls let's out shriek as Scootaloo grabs the action figure and threw it in the trash, "Snips! Are you insane?!" she questioned in disbelief, "Thanos is already a big problem in comics and movies, and you want to bring him in real life?!" she exclaimed. Snips kept his cheeky smile as a response. Meanwhile at the other side of the park, we see the Rainbooms and Wallflower Blush hanging out by the water fountain with Rainbow Dash lamenting her current woes at her friends. "My life is officially over!!" Rainbow declared rather over-dramatically, "Someone posted of me, in my sports undergarment, in the MyStable!" she exclaimed, "And it's all Crimson's fault!!!" she pointed out. Sunset Shimmer checks the image of Rainbow on her MyStable account, "It doesn't look bad, Dash.'' she spoke, "At least you're not wearing anything indecent at that time.'' she stated. "And while I agree that Crimson shouldn't have done ripping your clothes apart but it's pretty much your fault for annoying him." Applejack pointed out, "A simple complimentary on his skills wouldn't hurt but yet ya kept telling him remarks that pretty much says that your not impressed.'' she stated. "I agree with Applejack, darling." Rarity Belle spoke in agreement, "As much as I don't like what Crimson had done to your clothes, your remarks pushed him to do that." she explained. Rainbow rubs her face with both hands, "Keep rubbing it in, guys... keep rubbing it in..." she grumbled in annoyance. Wallflower then spoke, "If it makes you feel better...'' she said while checking her phone, "... the video of Crimson Napalm and Zephyr Breeze's fight is trending a lot more than your embarrassing photo.'' she pointed out while watching a video titled "Two Guys Fighting Over Rainbow Dash". Sunset chuckled, "I watched the video and I must say I'm impressed with their 'duel'." she commented, "Though they may wanna changed the title of video because we all know that Crimson already had a girlfriend." she stated. "I think Scribble understood the circumstances of that video." Twilight Sparkle reassured. "I prefer that both picture and the video gets deleted." Rainbow grumbled in annoyance. Sunset then turns to Fluttershy, "By the way... how is your brother doing?'' she asked, "I mean... you mentioned that he's been acting differently as of late.'' she pointed out. "Not exactly different.'' Fluttershy clarified, "Zephyr is still a flirt and is still full of himself.'' she said, "However... he doesn't go overboard like he usually does with his antics and is much more polite and respectful towards women." she explained, "But the biggest change is that he can now cook!" she exclaimed. "And how is that a problem?'' Twilight asked with a raised eyebrow. "Because Zephyr doesn't even know how to cook before!" Fluttershy replied. Rainbow scoffed, "Zephyr, cook? I find that unlikely." she dismissed. Wallflower then spoke, "Believe it or not, Rainbow, Zephyr surprisingly can cook.'' she confirmed, "Just ask everyone in cooking class, Zephyr easily cooked a cuisine that you can only eat in a five-star restaurant.'' she stated, "He still got an F though for not following class procedures.'' she added. "Huh? That's really strange." Sunset admitted. "And are you okay with this Fluttershy?'' Rarity asked. "I don't really mind Zephyr's change of personality." Fluttershy replied, "But to be honest, I'm still baffled of his ability to cook.'' she admitted. "You think it's his abilities?'' Twilight guessed. "That can't be." Sunset refuted, "Because from what I've seen so far, Zephyr gained martial arts skills by using his legs as offense." she explained. "Or maybe he gained more than just one ability." Twilight deducted. Pinkie Pie then let's out a loud gasped, "Or maybe when Zephyr caught by the light and got his powers, he also got the original owner's personality and talents!!!" she exclaimed with a big smile on her face. "Now that's just ridiculous, Pinkie Pie." Rainbow debunked. Twilight then spoke, "No, no, I think Pinkie might be right on that one.'' she pointed out, "The doctor told me before that the Enchancement Orb can take more than just one person's abilities and I believe he is talking about one's personality or talent.'' she explained, "If that were true... then the original owner of Zephyr's powers is polite, has respect towards women and can cook.'' she listed off, "Three traits that Zephyr has been demonstrating lately.'' she pointed out. "You don't think the others also had a certain change of personality as well after getting their powers?'' Rarity questioned in concern. Applejack shrugged her shoulders, "I don't know... both Big Mac and Applebloom are still the same as they were before.'' she stated. "I know I'm a lot sociable these days but I don't think my powers has something to do with it." Wallflower admitted. "Well... we can figure that out when times comes.'' Sunset stated, "Anyway... I'm kinda thirsty..." she claimed, "... who's up for some smoothies?'' she asked with a smile. "Me! Me! Me!" Pinkie cheered while bouncing up and down. "Yeah... I could use some smoothies, right now.'' Rainbow said in agreement. "Why? To make you forget your problems?'' Twilight guessed with a teasing grin. Rainbow placed both hands on her face, "Ughh..." she let's out a groan. Meanwhile at the junkyard, we see Flash Sentry standing in the middle of an open area while Brawley Beats, Ringo and Sandalwood are seen sitting on top of a pile of wrecked cars. "So, what's this new move that you've learned, Flash?'' Ringo asked. Flash smiled, "Welp! You're about to witness it!" he replied before lifting one finger up. It then let's out a single continuous spark before shooting it towards the ground, Flash then began to circle his finger around as if he was drawing something on the ground, the spark circles around until a small gust twisting wind began to form which then grew bigger the faster Flash twirls his finger until the small gust turns into a full-blown mini-tornado, much to the witnesses' surprise. "Woah..." Brawley muttered in shock. "Dude! You can create a tornado with electricity!" Sandalwood pointed out. "Not only that but I can also do this.'' Flash said before jumping inside the mini-tornado with his arms spread out and his hand emitting electricity which keeps him in place, "I can even move around in this.'' he mused before moving the mini-tornado around, "The Whirlwind had nothing on this.'' he boasted. "Gnarly, dude!" Sandalwood complimented with a thumbs-up. "The doctor did said that in order for our powers to improve, we need to use our imagination and creativity.'' Brawley pointed out, "And looks like you've been using your creativity to the fullest.'' he pointed out, "Which is odd since you were never these creative in the first place.'' he added with a grin. "Shut up." Flash responded while canceling the mini-tornado, "I got it from reading comics.'' he admitted. "Can you create bigger tornadoes?'' Ringo asked. "I think I can." Flash replied, "But I think it's best not to take any chances." he pointed out with Ringo nodding in agreement. Brawley then spoke, "You know... thinking of creative ways on using our powers got me hungry.'' he said, "How about we head towards the Sugarcube Corner and get ourselves some snacks.'' he suggested. Flash nodded, "I'm in.'' he complied. A minute later after saying goodbye to the security guard, the boys exits the junkyard as they made their way towards the Sugarcube Corner. After turning into a corner, the boys came across Derpy Hooves, "Hey, Derpy.'' Flash greeted. Depry turns to them, "Hey, guys." she greeted back, "Where are you going?'' she asked. "We're heading towards the Sugarcube Corner to have some snack.'' Flash answered, "Wanna come?'' he offered. Derpy nodded in response and the group of five walks together, "By the way, Derpy...'' Sandalwood spoke, "Did you know that Flash can create small tornadoes with his powers?'' he pointed out. "Really?'' Derpy asked with a curious expression. Meanwhile at the other side of town, we see the Rainbooms and Wallflower walking by the sidewalk, and Rainbow is still lamenting over the embarrassing image of her that was posted in the internet. "Cheer up, Rainbow Dash." Pinkie spoke, "If you wanna feel better and then go make a feather duster!!" she suggested with a cheerful grin. "Pinkie..." Rainbow muttered, "How is making a feather duster can make me feel better?'' she asked indecorously. "You won't know until you try.'' Pinkie pointed out with a shrug of shoulders. Rainbow hung her head down, "I give it up." she muttered. "Don't worry, Rainbow Dash, I'll go ask the person who posted that image and have him delete it.'' Twilight reassured. "That's good and all but there's one problem..." Rainbow spoke, "... THAT IMAGE IS ALREADY PLANTED ON EVERYONE'S MIND!!!" she exclaimed in annoyance. Twilight raised her hands up, "Yeesh... you don't have to yell.'' she said. The girls were about to walk past a gym when suddenly, the door slams open as an angry-looking teen steps out from it. The teen has a tall with a slim yet fit physique. He has a shaggy blue hair and a blue-colored dead fish eyes. He wears a gray hooded sweater underneath a black long coat, blue acid-washed jeans and red & white sneakers. The teen's angry expression terrifies Fluttershy that she hides behind Rainbow and Applejack. The teen then walks past the girls when Bulk Biceps steps out of the gym. "Blast! Wait!" Bulk called out with a concern look. "I want to be alone, Bulk! Alone!" the teen replied without looking back as he continues to walk away. Bulk watches him go with a sad look as the girls approaches him, "Bulk, what's wrong?'' Sunset asked. "And who is that guy?'' Rainbow added while jabbing a thumb at the guy. Bulk turns to them, "Oh... hey girls." he greeted back, "That's Blast Kane, a good friend of mine in this gym.'' he said revealing the angry teen's name. "Is he always like that?'' Twilight asked. Bulk scratches his head, "Actually... no.'' he answered, "Blast is usually cocky and loves to boast about himself. Kinda like Rainbow Dash, no offense.'' he stated. Rainbow crosses her arms, "None taken.'' she muttered in annoyance. "So, what's wrong with him?'' Rarity asked. Bulk shook his head, "I don't know.'' he answered, "When I came in this gym, I saw him all alone at one part of the gym. I asked the others what's going but they don't even know what's wrong with him. So, I approached him and asked him what's wrong but he stood up and left." he explained with sad look. Fluttershy then placed a hand on his back, "Don't worry, Bulk.'' she reassured, "I don't think your friend meant to get angry at you when you asked him what's wrong, he just probably doesn't realized your concern at that time.'' she explained. "He must be having some serious problems that he is yet to cope with.'' Sunset pointed out, "I think you should leave him alone for now and let him cool off, and wait until he opens up.'' she advised. Bulk nodded with a smile, "Okay... if you say so.'' he replied. Meanwhile at the other side of town, we see Blast Kane walking around with hands in his pockets, his mind is currently filled with anger, disappointment, sadness and frustration. He then came across three teenage boys blocking his path. The first boy has a short appearance. He has a persian bluish-gray skin tone and has a short reddish brownish gray hair with it's bangs covering his eyes. He wears a white t-shirt, gray pants and black sneakers. This is Score. The second boy has an average height. He has a dark grayish-brown skin tone, he has light amberish-gray hair that partially cover his moderate azure eyes. He wears a white t-shirt, yellow pants and black sneakers. This is Dumb-bell. The third boy has a tall stature. He has a light gamboge skin tone, he has a grayish tangelo hair that partially cover his brilliant sea green eyes. He wears a white t-shirt, brown pants and black sneakers. This is Hoops. Hoops looks at Blast with an evil grin, "Well look who it is, boys!" he spoke in delight, "It's our friend, Blast Lame.'' he announced in a mocking tone. Score chuckled, "Yeah." he replied, "What should we do with him?'' he asked. Dumb-bell then cracked his knuckles, "How about we crack his skull for that prank he did to us last week?'' he suggested with a nasty grin. Blast snarled before walking forward and pushing them all aside, "Beat it, nimrods! I got no time for you!" he exclaimed. Hoops then grabs his arm, "Hey! Don't you turn your back on us!" he demanded. Blast then turns to them with a scary and hateful glare as he tightens his hands into a fist before letting out a green, yellow and orange glow. Meanwhile back with the Rainbooms and Wallflower. "How cupcakes?'' Pinkie cheered, "Cupcakes will make you feel better!" she said with a smile. "Pinkie Pie... would you please drop it?!" Rainbow pleaded in annoyance. Suddenly, they heard a loud explosion from the other side of the town, causing the ground to shake a bit, much to everyone's shock. "W-What was that?'' Wallflower asked. "Was that an explosion?'' Sunset guessed in confusion. Twilight tips her glasses, "Probably some sort of gas leak that created that explosion since the ground shook really hard.'' she stated, "But where did it came from?'' she questioned. "It came from the other side of town." Rainbow replied, "Come on!" she beckoned. And with that, the girls made their way towards the direction where the explosion was heard. Meanwhile at the gym, we see the patrons, Bulk included, on their feet after hearing the explosion. Bulk then noticed the girls running past the gym and realized that something must be going on, he quickly grabs his personal barbell and made his way out the gym, following the girls. Upon arriving at the other side of the town, the girls were greeted by the sight people running around in panic. "Goodness gracious!" Rarity exclaimed in shock. "Just what the heck is going on?'' Sunset questioned in confusion. Rainbow then saw Dumb-bell and Score running towards their direction, she then quickly grabs Score's arm, "Hey! What's going on?!" she demanded. "It's Blast Kane! He went berserk and it blowing things up with his weird magic thingy!" Score replied in panic, "He has Hoops and is beating the lights out of him!!" he added. Rainbow let's him go before turning to everyone, "Looks like we've ourselves someone with a power.'' she declared with a grin. "Are you sure about that, darling?'' Rarity questioned. "We won't know until we see it for ourselves." Sunset spoke, "Come on!" she beckoned. The girls ran forward and upon turning a corner, they let's out a gasp as they were greeted by the sight of a badly-beaten Hoops crawling away from an angry Blast Kane with his hands glowing green, yellow and orange. "Oh dear..." Fluttershy muttered in shock with hands covering her mouth as she can't believed that Bulk's friend has caused this mess. "Looks like Rainbow is right!" Sunset pointed out, "We better stop this guy before he cause anymore damage.'' she declared. "A little late for that." Pinkie chimed in. The girls, minus Wallflower, then activated their geodes and quickly transforms into their hero attires, they all stood together triumphantly, ready to take on the enemy. As Blast slowly marches towards Hoops with murderous eyes, Rainbow dashed towards him and tackles him aside, giving Fluttershy and Wallflower the opportunity to help Hoops up. "Fluttershy, Wallflower! Take that guy to safety!" Sunset commanded. Wallflower nodded, "Okay!" she complied. "Be careful girls." Fluttershy advised. As the girls takes Hoops away to safety, Blast stood up and glares at the girl with a crazed look. Rainbow then stood in front of him, "Okay, Blast-dude! Let's see what you got?!" she challenged. Blast let's out a loud cry before his left hand glows brightly, he then smashes his fist on the ground causing an explosion in a form of a large crack, zigzagging it's way towards the girls. "Scatter!!!" Sunset shouted. The girls then jumps out of the path of explosion, "Look out! It seems he has the power to create explosions!!!" Twilight pointed out. "Thanks for pointing out the obvious!!!" Rainbow shouted. Pinkie then steps forward, "Oh~ He likes making things explode?~" she mused, "And so do I!!' she exclaimed before throwing some sweets towards Blast. The sweets rains down on Blast and causes numerous explosion but when the colorful smokes subsided, Blast is seen still standing on his feet before glaring at Pinkie. And because of that, Pinkie found herself hiding inside a mailbox, "Pinkie! Get out of there!!" Rainbow demanded. "Nuh-uh! He scares me!!!" Pinkie shouted from inside of the mailbox. Rarity then created a large, diamond wall before pushing it towards Blast. The boy then pulled his glowing fist backward and when the diamond wall gotten close, he punches it so hard that it created another massive explosion, breaking the diamond wall to bits. "Oh dear! That's so powerful!!" Rarity exclaimed in shock. Blast was about to punch the ground again but Applejack appears from behind and caught him in a full nelson hold, "That's enough!!!" she admonished. Blast let's out a growl before shaking himself rather violently, trying to break himself free from Applejack's hold, "Woah! Woah! I feel like I'm wrangling a bull!!!" she shouted as she accidentally loosens her hold a bit, Blast took this chance and violently elbows Applejack across the left side of her head twice, causing her to let him go and Blast wasted no time igniting his fist with a green, yellow and orange glow before punching her across the chest which created a massive explosion, "DAAAAAAGHH!!!" she yelled in pain as she was sent flying towards a car, smashing on it's door and sliding down in pain. "Applejack!!!" Rarity shouted in worry. Blast then charges towards Applejack with the full intent of hurting her further. Rainbow was about to move to save Applejack when Bulk suddenly arrives and rams himself on Blast with a shoulder block, sending the crazed teen crashing to the sides. "Bulk!!!" Sunset called out with a thankful smile. Bulk then pointed a finger at Blast, "We may be buddies, Blast! But I'm not gonna let you hurt my friends!!!" he declared before lifting a barbell up high, "CAPTAIN BARBELL!!!" he shouted before his entire let's a bright golden glow and when the light subsided, Bulk is wearing something different. He now wears a golden bodysuit with a white utility belt wrapped around his waist and a large "C" and "B" logo on his chest, white gloves and white boots, and a red cape draped around his shoulders. "YEAH!!!" he shouted while holding a golden-colored barbell in his hands. Rainbow's jaw drops at the sight of Bulk, "What the?!" she squawked, "Did Bulk just activated his powers by holding up a barbell?!" she questioned in shock. "Just where the heck those Gorfs got these kinds of powers?!" Twilight exclaimed in disbelief. And with that, Bulk and Blast charges towards each other before throwing each other a punch as everything blacks out. > An Explosive Battle > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- After taking Hoops to safety and handing him to Dumb-bell and Score, Fluttershy and Wallflower Blush are seen making their way back to their friends. "You think Sunset and the others are doing okay?'' Wallflower asked in concern. "I hope so." Fluttershy replied, "However, I'm pretty worried since they're dealing with someone with powers unrelated to Equestrian magic.'' she admitted. "That Blast Kane...'' Wallflower muttered, "Just what is his deal?'' she questioned. "We all know that he's angry but I never expect for him to do something like this." Fluttershy said when they heard another explosion from the other side of the town, shaking the ground a bit, "Oh no! We better hurry!" she beckoned. "Hey, Fluttershy! Wallflower!" a voice called. Fluttershy and Wallflower turns around to see Flash Sentry, Brawley Beats, Ringo, Sandalwood and Derpy Hooves running towards them. "Flash! Everyone!" Fluttershy replied. "We heard an explosion." Flash spoke, "What the heck is going on?'' he asked in confusion. "A guy named Blast Kane, whom has powers like us, is rampaging from the other side of the town." Wallflower replied, "Sunset and the others are dealing with him right now but I don't know if they can stop someone that dangerous.'' she stated in concern. "Blast Kane? That retard?!" Brawley spoke in surprise, "I haven't heard of him ever since he found out that he's adopted.'' he said. Everyone turns to him, "Wait? You know Blast Kane?'' Wallflower asked. "And what do you mean that he's adopted?" Fluttershy followed with a concern look. "I know Blast Kane because we're neighbors and I kinda know him since we were kids." Brawley replied, "And despite his cocky behavior and his love for pranking others, Blast is pretty okay dude and his parents loves him, and in return, he obeys his parents like a good kid will do." he stated, "However... just days ago, Blast found out that he's actually adopted.'' he revealed, "And now he is mad and stressed out, and not only because of the revelation but he also realized that his entire life is nothing but a lie." he finished. "Oh dear... the poor boy..." Fluttershy muttered in sadness. "But how did you know about this?'' Flash asked. Brawley rubs the back of his head, "I kinda... overheard him talking about it to himself in their kitchen when I was taking out the trash.'' he answered with a shameful look, "I know I shouldn't have done that but curiosity got the best of me.'' he admitted. "Well... at least we know why is he angry." Wallflower pointed out. "But does his parents know of this?'' Flash asked. Brawley shook his head, "No.'' he answered, "They're currently out for a business trip.'' he said, "Blast must've found this out while they're out." he stated. "I get that he's angry and all but does he need to cause such destruction?!" Wallflower pointed out while hearing another explosion from the other side of the town. "I don't get that either." Brawley admitted, "As rude and mischievous Blast can be, he isn't exactly a violent person and only retaliates through pranks.'' he stated, "Harmless pranks.'' he added, "Something must've happened that made him snap.'' he deducted. "Maybe someone made fun of him which caused him to go on a rampage?'' Sandalwood guessed. "That could be it.'' Wallflower said in agreement, "We did saw a kid named Hoops whom is beaten badly and crawling away from an angry Blast.'' she stated. Brawley's eyes widen in shock, "Did you say Hoops?'' he asked earning a nod from the green-haired girl, "Dude! Hoops and his cronies are enemies to Blast! Those morons would often pick on him whenever they get a chance and Blast would often retaliates back at them by pranking them!" he explained, "Hoops must've made fun of Blast which caused him to go mad!" he exclaimed. "And because of that... he is now an uncontrollable beast." Wallflower muttered. "What are we gonna do now?'' Ringo asked. They then heard another explosion from the other side of the town, "We better help Sunset and the others fast!'' Flash suggested, "Those explosions are getting more louder and stronger in every passing minute!" he stated. "But what should we do? Fighting Blast might just aggravate him even further." Brawley pointed out. Flash thought about it, "You have a point.'' he admitted. Derpy then spoke, "How about we subdue him?'' she suggested. Brawley turns to her, "Okay... we subdue him and then what?'' he questioned. Derpy smiled, "I had an idea and my powers may actually be of a help." she claimed. Meanwhile at the other side of the town, Bulk Biceps and Rainbow Dash are seen fighting Blast Kane. The rainbow-haired athlete would run around and attacking by tripping & tackling the angry teen while Bulk trades blows with him. And despite Blast's fists being accompanied by an explosion, Bulk seems to shrug it off like nothing, no scratches and no burns, Bulk's remain the same despite the numerous explosive fist he gets. As this is going on, Sunset Shimmer, Twilight Sparkle and Rarity Belle are gathered around Applejack while Pinkie Pie is still hiding in the mailbox. "Are you doing okay, Applejack?'' Rarity asked in concern for her best friend. Applejack shifted on the car she's leaning on, "I'm... fine... at least I think I am...'' she admitted, "Boy... that attack is so painful that I thought I got rammed by two to four bulls.'' she described. "But how is that possible?'' Sunset spoke, "How can his powers able him to create explosions through punching?'' she questioned. Twilight tips her glasses, "That's what I want to know." she stated. As Rarity checks on Applejack, she smells something from her stetson-wearing friend, "Applejack? Why do you smell like gasoline?'' she asked. "Gasoline?'' Applejack muttered when her eyes widen, "Oh no! This car's gas must be leaking out after I smashed on it!" she exclaimed in panic. Sunset then checks on the slightly wrecked vehicle, "Uh... there's no gas leaking out from the car." she pointed out. "Then why does she smell like gasoline?'' Rarity asked. Twilight's eyes widen upon these conversation, she then turns her attention to Blast whom is igniting his left fist with a green, orange and yellow glow, accompanied by a small spark, "Wait? Could it be?'' she thought in realization. As this going on, Blast threw another punch across Bulk's jaw and created another explosion but the muscle head was unfazed and retaliated by grabbing Blast by the shoulders, gripping it tightly and with all his strength, Bulk tossed Blast aside like a ragdoll. Bulk then grabs him once more, pulls him up from the ground before tossing him aside, Bulk then charges towards him and quickly drops down a painful headbutt on Blast's head, causing him to squirm again in pain while holding his head. "Nice, Bulk!" Rainbow complimented with a thumbs-up. Blast quickly stood up and charges towards Bulk, once again exchanging blows to one another, Bulk then pushes Blast away before charging towards him and tried to hit his opponent with a big boot but the angry kid ducks down, Blast then charges towards him but Bulk caught him and lifts him up, Blast then counters this by pushing him back with a dropkick, sending Bulk crashing to the ground. Rainbow then zooms toward the angry teen with the intent of tripping him once more but Blast dodges at the last minute and trips her instead which sends her crashing to the ground. "Ouwch!!!" Rainbow yelped when suddenly Blast grabs her left ankle, "Hey! Let go!" she demanded but the angry teen ignores her before igniting his hand with a green, orange and yellow glow, followed by a small yet powerful explosion, "DIIIIIIAAAAAHHHH!!!!" the rainbow-haired girl screamed in pain. "Rainbow Dash!!!" Sunset called out in shock. Bulk quickly got up and tackles Blast down away from the rainbow-haired athlete, the two got up and resumes slugging each other's faces as Sunset and Twilight arrives to check on Rainbow. "Rainbow Dash, are you okay?'' Twilight asked. Rainbow clutches her left ankle with both hands, "No..." she groaned in pain, "That really hurt!" she exclaimed, "Of all places... why did he had to target my ankle?!" she complained. "To slow you down I believe." Sunset replied watching Bulk grabs Blast and then tossing him aside, "I guess he can do more explosions aside from punching things.'' she stated. "I don't think he needs to punch or touch things to cause an explosion." Twilight pointed out. "What do you mean?'' Sunset asked. "When Rarity mentioned that Applejack smelled like gasoline, I realized that his powers isn't about exploding things by punching but rather the ability to produce oil-like magic by igniting his fist with green-colored energy.'' Twilight explained, "Gasoline, kerosene or whatever oil that can be found from outer space, it looks like his body has the ability to produce different kinds of hazardous liquids.'' she stated. "Is that so? Then how he can make it explode?'' Sunset questioned. "Heat can sometimes makes gasoline explode.'' Twilight spoke, "However... I think the way he makes things explode doesn't involve body heat but more likely coming from his anger." she deducted. "Then we had to calm him down." Sunset declared. "Easier said that done..." Rainbow grumbled. Meanwhile Bulk and Blast had their hands locked at each other, trying to overpower their opponent and when Bulk got the upper hand, Blast went downstairs by hitting an explosive knee-strike between Bulk's legs which made the muscle head squeal in pain as Blast pushes him aside. Blast then made a beeline towards Sunset, Twilight and Rainbow, "Oh no! Here he comes!!" the bespectacled girl exclaimed as she and Sunset stood up, ready to take him on. Suddenly, a blast of electricity shot towards Blast, directly on the chest which sends him crashing a few feet away from the girls as Flash hovers above on his disc. "Sunset, Twilight! You all right?!" Flash questioned. "Flash!!" Sunset called with a smile. Then Fluttershy, Wallflower, Sandalwood, Ringo, Brawley and Derpy arrives. The animal lover then gasped at Rainbow, "Rainbow Dash! What happened to you?!" she questioned in concern. "Got my left ankle exploded.'' Rainbow grumbled. Twilight looks up at Flash, "Flash!!" she called out, "That guy's power produces some kind of oil-type magic that he uses to make things explode!" she explained, "You need to calm him down as I believe that his anger is a huge factor why he can ignite explosions like how a fire can make an oil blow things up!!!" she advised. Flash nodded, "Got it!" he complied, "Let's go, guys!!!" he beckoned. As Brawley and Fluttershy helped Rainbow up, Ringo steps forward and noticed Blast getting up from the ground. The shades-wearing bass player then took of his glasses, his eyes turns red and fires a red-colored laser beam towards Blast, sending the angry teen farther away from them. Bulk slowly stood up as Flash hovers above him, "Bulk!" he called getting his attention, "Can you slam that guy hard on that wall over there?'' he asked with a finger pointing a bricked wall. Bulk nodded, "YEEAAAHHH!!!" he complied before getting into a sprinting position, eyes lock on his target and then dashing forward. As Blast slowly got up, he got no time to react when Bulk tackles him, "OHHHYEEAAAAAHHH!!!" he hollered before dragging him forward, Blast's feet skidding across the ground before slamming the angry teen real hard on the wall, creating a large spider web-like crack from behind. Flash then charges both of his hands with electricity and uses it to levitate two poles before bending it quickly, wrapping it around Blast. Sandalwood then held both of his hands up as it glows green, then three large brambles shot put from the ground and quickly wraps itself around the angry teen, trapping him further. "All right!" Sunset cheered. "They did it..." Twilight muttered in relief. Ringo then spoke, "Not over yet." he said while turning around, "I hope this idea of your works, Derpy.'' he said. Derpy then walks forward, "Don't worry... it will work.'' she replied in confidence as Sunset's eyes widen in realization of what the wall-eyed girl is about to do. "Derpy... what are you..." Twilight called out and was about to approach the blonde girl in concern but Sunset held her back. "Don't worry, Twilight." Sunset reassured, "Derpy knows what's she doing.'' she claimed. Derpy calmly walks towards Blast, whom is still struggling to get out from his multiple binds, the others watches them cautiously, ready to leap into action once things goes awry. Blast snarls at her but Derpy calmly places a hand on his cheeks with smile, "It's all right, it's all right..." she calmly hushed when suddenly, a small sound of a bell was heard and some sort of calming presence is felt all over the place which slowly soothes the angry teen down, "It's all right... it's all right...'' she repeated, "I understand that your angry, I understand that your hurt...'' she spoke, "I know it's hard and sad when you find out the truth that the persons who raised you aren't you real parents and I understand that your upset that they kept this a secret from you but I do believe that they a had a reason for that. But despite that, they raised you and love you like their real son, they didn't treat you like another person, they accepted you with all their hearts, so please don't forget that because no matter what, you are a family to them.'' she finished with a motherly smile. Everyone, aside from Derpy, were tensed at the moment until Blast finally started to calm down, breathing slowly and blinking a few times, finally getting back to his senses, much to everyone's relief. "You okay?'' Derpy asked. Blast took a few breaths before giving her a small smile, "I... I think I am...'' he answered. And with that, both Sandalwood and Flash removes the poles and brambles that is wrapped around him while Bulk gently pulls him out of the wall before gently setting him down the pavement. "W-What just happened?'' Twilight asked in confusion. "It's Derpy's powers." Sunset answered, "She has the ability to unleash a calming force that puts people at ease.'' she explained, "It may not be suited for combat but it did a fine job helping that guy." she stated with a smile. "If only that calming force can heal my aching ankle." Rainbow grumbled. Bulk then placed a hand on Blast's shoulder, "You're doing good, bro?'' he asked. Blast slowly nodded is head, "Yeah...'' he replied, "Sorry I caused you guys so much trouble.'' he apologized, "I had no idea my anger caused me to do something like this, I really should've have bottled all of my problems from the start." he admitted. "It's okay, bro, we understand what you're going through." Bulk reassured with a smile. Blast smiled back, "Thanks...'' he said in gratitude, "Once mom and dad gets back home, I'm going to talk to them about this and whatever their reason is, I'm going to accept it and after that, we'll just continue on with our lives.'' he said with a smile. Derpy nodded, "That's good.'' she said. Sunset and Twilight approaches them, "Looks like all is good here...'' the former spoke, "... but if you don't mind asking... how long have you've been using your powers?'' she inquired. "Sorry... I wasn't aware of my powers until now." Blast confessed. This taken Sunset and Twilight by surprise, "Huh? Could it be that there are other people out there who aren't aware of their powers?'' Twilight deducted. "That's a possibility.'' Sunset replied in agreement. Sandalwood's ears then perks up when he heard sirens from the distance, "Uh-oh... it's the fuzz!" he exclaimed. "Oh dear!" Rarity gasped, "W-What should we tell them?" she asked, "I don't think the police are going to like what we've done to the place!" she pointed out while looking around at ruined street. Pinkie then jumps out of the mailbox, "Let's boogie ourselves out of here!!!" she shouted before running off in extreme speeds. "I agree with Pinkie." Flash spoke, "Runaway Train!!!" he shouted while hovering away with the others following suit with Bulk and Derpy carrying Blast on their shoulders, Brawley carrying Applejack behind his back and Fluttershy carrying Rainbow all by herself. "Put me down, Fluttershy! I can still run you know!!!" Rainbow claimed. "With that ankle of yours? Not a chance!" Fluttershy replied with a stern look. "Wow, Fluttershy! I never knew you're this strong!" Wallflower commented. And with the group gone from the sight, just in time for several police cars to arrive. A few police officers got off their cars and one of them is a young man. The young man has a pale white skin tone, he has blue hair with cerulean streaks and has moderate cerulean eyes. He wears a purple long-sleeve vest over a white collared shirt with a black necktie, black slacks and a purple & white shoes. This is Shining Armor, Twilight's older brother. Shining looks around the wreckage and noticed something on the ground, he picks it up and examines it... it was a sparkle-shaped hairpin and he immediately realized whom it belongs to. "This is Twily's...'' he muttered with narrowed eyes.
