Walking. That’s all Nova had done for two hours; looking for that damned cat, but sadly for him, Nova had little to no luck finding it. “Guess a drink couldn’t hurt.” He told himself. He sighed in disappointment. He knew there was a mini mart a couple of miles up the road, so he figured why not. Not like anything was gonna happen anytime soon.

***

Four ponies ran, three of them chasing the other. One tan. the other a wine red. and the final one was yellow. They all seemed to be chasing a pony with a seafoam green coat. He was trying to run for his life from the three of them.

Nova smiled. It had taken him nearly half an hour to get to the mini mart, but it was all worth it as this specific one seemed to be one of the only ones in town that sold vanilla cola. Just the thing to perk up his night.

“Meow.” His ears swiveled and he looked up as he saw Lynx sitting on a billboard… Of course it’d be a billboard. Even when he caught a break, it wasn’t easy.

He began climbing the ladder in hopes of getting to the top before Lynx decided to move. He was grinning like a mad stallion when he did. “Come here, Lynx.” He whistled in hopes of getting the cat’s attention. “Come on and be a good kitty for me.” He whistled again, but in return he was hissed at. “Come on, lets get you back home.” The cat scratched his face, causing him to fall back. “Ah! Fuck you Lynx!” Nova shouted as he fell from the billboard, landing on his back. Destroyed nerves or not, that stung.

And it was as if fate had been planning it all along. A seafoam green pony tripped over him and face planted on the ground. “Kid, what the hell have you done?!” Just as the words left his mouth three ponies came and began beating on him.

“Thanks, kid.” One of them said as he went back to beating the pony.

He felt something inside of him. How could Nova just sit there and watch as three ponies continued to bash on another one. “Hey assholes!” His horn began glowing a bright magenta as he levitated up two batons. “Why don’t you pick on someone who can fight?” He glared and swung one of the batons, making sure to hit the tan pony right between the eyes, making him stagger.

The other two looked at him. “You want a fight? You got one!” The wine red pony started swinging at Nova, who took a few hard hits, but refused to back down he returned the blows.

Unbeknownst to all of them a bright orange pony with a video camera and a camera cutie mark was witnessing everything, so rather than call the authorities, he ran into the mini mart.

“Hey everypony!” The orange stallion burst into the door, getting the crowd’s attention. “You gotta look outside! There is a pony outside taking on three huge stallions!” Everypony in the room just shrugged it off. “He’s dressed like a superhero! And its awesome!” At that, everypony ran to the windows while the orange pony began to record it. This would get him some free views.

***

Nova continued to exchange blows with the three stallions. Sure, he was taking more than he was giving, but that wasn’t stopping him. He refused to give up. He slammed the batons onto the ponies heads, making sure to protect the seafoam green stallion laying on the ground.

The trio backed up, one brandishing a knife he had been hiding. “Come on, kid, you don’t know what you're getting into.”

“So what?!” He waved at them threateningly. “Its better than me sitting back and watching three assholes beating up on some poor pony.” He waved the batons again. “If you want to get to him, then you’ll have to go through me!”

The tan stallion laughed making sure to spit a bit of blood on the ground. “You’ve got balls kid.” He said before the gang ran off, not wanting to get caught tonight.

Just as they did the orange stallion came outside, making sure the camera was still rolling. He was originally filming a documentary, but this… This could get him famous. “Hey,” He made sure to get Nova’s attention, “Dude, what’s your name?”

“I’m…” Nova had to think what name could he choose for himself. It could be anything, but whatever he said now would be stuck with him forever. “I’m Kickplot!” He made sure to look dead into the camera. “Now you go get the police and stop filming, jackass.”

“And today,” A mare on the news read from a teleprompter, “we are going to talk about a possible modern hero who stood up to three ponies trying to assault some poor stallion.” She took a sip of water. “The pony calls himself Kickplot, and thankfully we were able to get ahold of the footage.” She smiled as the clip rolled.

Nova sat on the couch. His mind was blown. Here he was, on the news and nopony knew it was him. “What the hell?” Said his father. He dropped his spoon that missed the bowl of cereal he was eating and hit the floor.

“I swear,” Shadow sighed, “someponies are looking to get themselves killed.” He sat down and took a sip of his coffee. If there was one thing that he and Nova had in common. it was watching the news and drinking coffee. not to mention they both liked their coffee black/ “Or maybe they have some kind of mental damage.” Shadow looked for the remote. “I can’t watch this crap anymore.”

“Oi!” Nova levitated the remote. It may have seemed self absorbed, but he made it on the news! And he was being called a hero. Those are two things that Nova never thought he’d be able to say, unless he broke into a burning building and saved a family or something of the sorts, but up until now, he’d been too cowardly to attempt something like that.

The two didn’t hear it, but Evening creeped down the stairs behind them. “And how are my two favorite boys this morning?” She asked, watching them both jump. She couldn't help but giggle, and of course give Nova a little kiss on the head. She soon joined them for the morning news. “I swear, someponies are looking to get themselves killed.” Nova facehoofed.. He never thought his mom would say something that his dad would say.

But now that he made a name for himself, he’d have to keep to it. Now that was the hard part.
