It was one day at the brink of nightfall in the city. As it was always bustling and rustling with people going about their daily lives, one person in particular was on a mission. A mission of obsessive importance.

Flying through the sky was a fourteen year old boy with short red hair and dark eyes. His outfit included black boots, jeans, a red shirt, a black lab coat that was left open, and on his back was a red metal backpack that functioned like a rocket allowing him to fly. As he flew across the sky he was dodging billboards and flying between buildings. He laughed proudly, only for a pigeon to fly into his face.

“Gah! Get out of here! Beat it!” he threw the pigeon off before landing on a roof top.

He stretched his body before reaching into his pocket and pulled out a tape recorder. He clicked the record button and spoke into it, “6:50. I Jack McCallister; Evil boy genius and future ruler of the world have just left on my patrol of tracking abnormal energies here in the city. For three years I've been getting strange readings of abnormal energies in this very city. Potent energy if my energy meter is correct. Though my search for it has proven difficulty, I refuse to acknowledge defeat. I shall continue to search this city inside out for the source of these energies so that I may find a way to harness it for my plans of global domination!” he clicked the recorder off.

Suddenly a noise caught his ears, and Jack looked and saw in the distance in the direction of the park appeared to be colorful sparks, lightning, and fire being shot and struck. Jack's eyes widened, as he clicked the record button on his recorder again, “6:53. Have spotted strange phenomenon composed of a series of lightning strikes, fire blasts, and energy bursts. Proceeding to check it out.”

From his backpack popped out his rocket which activated making Jack rocket off the roof and fly in the direction of the strange phenomenons.

As Jack got closer he started seeing more strange occurrences like huge gusts of wind, and giant slabs of earth being thrown. When he got close enough he hid behind a tree and looked over with his eyes widening in shock. As it turns out the strange phenomenons were the elemental attacks from Spike and the elements of harmony doing battle against a gang of Storm King's goons. Jack clicked record on his recorder, “6:54. I am witnessing a battle of strange creatures. I count eight pony looking girls and one dragon battling an army of white furred armor wearing ape men.” he shrieked, before ducking as a blast of magic almost nailed him.

Spike was flying around spitting jets of fire against three Storm Apes who jumped out of the way but still got their butts set on fire making them roll across the ground, “Anyone up for hot buns?” Spike called out.

“Good one!” Pinkie laughed, before unleashing a blast of water at another Storm Ape soaking it. Rainbow flew in and unleashed a lightning attack shocking it.

“Oh, yeah!” Rainbow cheered.

As one guard was attacking Rarity, she used a crystal shield to block its strikes, “Take this, you ruffian!” she stomped the ground making a fist made from earth emerge from the ground to uppercut the goon.

Applejack attacked goon after goon with her magical strength, before putting her hands to the ground making vines emerge and ensnare some of the Storm Apes, “Yee-haw!” she cheered.

Sunset Shimmer was using her combustion blasts to shoot fire at several Storm Apes. As some were trying to make their escape, Fluttershy flew in, “I'm sorry, but we're not finished here.” Fluttershy harnessed her wind magic and blew the guards back and crashing onto the ground.

Twilight and Starlight were dodging the Storm Apes strikes, while blasting back at them with magic blasts.

Jack watched in awe, but remembered he needed evidence. He pulled out his smartphone and started taking multiple pictures of Spike and the girls doing battle against the Storm Apes.

The Storm Apes regrouped before another used a magic talisman to open a portal where they all escaped through. Jack watched in shock before speaking to himself, “Portals.” He continued to hide as he listened in on the group of heroes.

“Storm Goons don't stand a chance while we're around, huh?” Rainbow asked.

“Got that right, Rainbow Dash.” Spike agreed.

“Loved the way you set fire to their butts, Spike.” Pinkie nudged him.

“And especially with the hot buns quip.” Sunset laughed.

“Alright, you guys, let's reign it in,” Twilight spoke up, “The Storm King is starting to send his goons from Equestria to this world.”

“Equestria?” Jack asked himself.

“If he's startin' to do that, who knows when he'll send more of them.” Applejack added.

“We should alert the Princesses about this development.” Starlight suggested.

“Took the words out of my mouth, Starlight.” Spike agreed.

“Indeed,” Rarity nodded, “Now can we head home. I am in need of a bath.”

“Don't we all?” Sunset asked rhetorically.

“Come on, girls.” Spike said, as they flew off.

Jack watched them leave from below. Once they were out of sight, he went over to the spot where the portal appeared, and pulled out a device and started scanning the area which was giving off high readings, “This energy is definitely potent, and magical.” a serious look grew on his face as he hurried off.

Some time later, Jack was in a basement that was modeled like a lab/workshop with machinery and computer monitors all around. Cleaning up and organizing were several robots that looked exactly like Jack. Jack went to a computer, plugged his phone into it, uploaded the images he took of Spike and the girls before printing them out. He took the pictures and tacked them to a board displaying a graph of several occurrences that's been happening in the city. Some pictures already tacked to it looked like bad and out of focus pictures taken of creatures like the chimera, ogres, Camille the Lamia, the changelings, She-Demon, Pyro, Frost, Shadowbolts, and other monsters and beasts from Equestria.

Jack looked over the graph, “So it's all true. Monsters really have been walking among us. Some containing magical powers. And these pony 'heroes' and that dragon are at the root of everything. I must find out who they are, and where this magic comes from. And to do that I must locate this....

“Jack!” a woman's voiced called out from up the stairs, “Your dinner's gonna get cold!”

Jack growled, before calling up, “I'm in the middle of something, ma!”

“Well, hurry it up and get up here. Kitchen isn't open all day and night!” his mom called, before closing the basement door.

“Unlike your mouth,” Jack grumbled to himself, before calming down, “Alright. In order to find out where this magic comes from, I must locate this place they spoke of. This... Equestria.” Jack said before snickering which led to him making an annoying maniacal laugh, until his mother called down again.

“Jack!”

“Coming!” Jack shouted back, before straggling up the stairs of his basement lab.

Author's Note

Just because Storm King is the current major baddie, doesn't mean I can't introduce minor ones right now. Jack is modeled after Jack Spicer from Xiaolin Showdown. But his voice is provided by actor Simon Helberg best known for his role as Howard Wolowitz on the Big Bang Theory. In fact Jack's mom also plays homage to Howard's mom. Loud, and heard but not seen.
