Shazam: the Origin of Captain Alicornby cornholio4ChaptersPart 1 of 3: Origin of Captain Alicorn!Part 2 of 3: Origin of Black Garble!Part 3 of 3: Captain Alicorn V Black Garble!Part 1 of 3: Origin of Captain Alicorn!The Rock of Eternity, a plane of existence that exists outside the planet that Equestria was on. About a thousand years ago the demented chaotic mischievous Draconequus that was known as Discord the spirit of Disharmony and Chaos ruled Equestria in a state of unrest. Princesses Celestia and Luna used the power of the Elements of Harmony to trap him there for the rest of his life. Discord was immortal so he was cursed to stay there for literally all of eternity; he was reduced to using his chaotic powers to try and amuse himself. He got bored pretty quickly. Recently he watched as Equestria had a new age with ponies gaining powers from sources and becoming what was known as superheroes. Now what ponies did not realise was that there was an age where Equestria had superheroes before. There was Hawkstallion, Hourstallion, Starfilly and the Atom who were among the heroes apart of the Justice League of Equestria but they retired when they felt Equestria no longer needed them. Now there was a new breed of superheroes that Discord was watching come to life in Equestria that Discord was taking note off. There was Twilight Sparkle the student of his old friend Princess Celestia, who using an alien power ring became known as the Green Lantern. There was the unicorn mare Rarity who became a vigilante known as Mare Do Well wanting to take revenge on crime for the murder of her parents. There was Applejack a farm earth pony who discovered she was an alien and became the hero Supermare. Pinkie Pie who spent five years on an island training her pie throwing skills and when returning to Ponyville became a vigilante known as the Pink Pie-Er, who nopony made the connection Discord did not know. Rainbow Dash who after attempting a Sonic Rainboom during a lighting storm gained the power to move at supersonic speed even faster than what a normal Pegasus, even Dash before could move. She became the hero the Dash....Discord thought that ponies must be really getting stupid if they did not make THAT connection! Fluttershy who spent five years on the island Pinkie Pie was trapped on and was trained by the Amazon tribe who had lived there, managing to win the tournament to determine their champion and after being given the power of their gods she went back home to Equestria as Wonder Mare! There was also Trixie Gold a mare who had came from the future thanks to a being called the Hunter, a pony who Discord found peculiar. A particular day came when Discord got a vision of the possible future when a great evil would destroy all life on the planet and turn it into a barren wasteland. Being the spirit of Disharmony, Discord actually enjoyed watching this before a terrible realization hit upon him, a world without life was a world without chaos and that was no fun at all! After pondering what to do he decided he would have to create a superhero of his own to help stop this future from happening, but who would be a good choice? He decided a young one would be the easiest to mould into the superhero image that he could use as his personal pawn if he saw fit. He then looked through his mirror to Equestria to decide who should be his champion. Scootaloo? Nah she already had a destiny for her as the Dash’s sidekick. Sweetie Belle? No she already started her career as her sister Rarity’s sidekick Filly-Be-Goode. Applebloom? No she would be developing her own superpowers soon enough. Snips or Snails? Well they are gullible and they would be easy to manipulate for his own ends but he was watching them right now due to their own curiosity and stupidity in dealing with mysterious objects they release two alien prisoners. Babs Seed? Well she was kind of good but she was the one who would join up with the bullies if given the chance to escape their persecution. Silver Spoon? Well she did have some good in her heart but too much of a bully to let it shine through. Diamond Tiara? A definitive no, giving HER superpowers would be the biggest mistake of his entire life, considering how many eons he has lived that would be saying a lot. He then spotted a young pony raised dragon called Spike and he smiled, he just found his perfect candidate. *break* Spike was walking about Canterlot deep in thoughts, ever since his best friend Twilight became the Green Lantern she had been on many adventures and he had to be left behind. He was wishing he could become a hero on his own and then he can go on adventures as well, that Rarity mare he met in Ponyville may actually go out with him if he did become one... Just as he was thinking it a hole in the ground appeared and a eagle claw pretty much pulled him in, nopony actually noticing him being pulled into the ground screaming. *Break* Spike found himself marvelling at the cave that he was in full of statues of different gods and historical figures that was in the many books that Twilight had shown him, from Commander Hurricane to Starswirl the Bearded. He then noticed the Draconequus smiling at him. “Who are you?” Spike asked extremely frightened at Discord. “I am Discord and welcome to my home the Rock of Eternity.” Discord smiled at Spike’s shocked expression. “But – but – but I thought Discord and the Rock of Eternity was an old pony’s tale.” Spike muttered in shock. “You thought that of Nightmare Moon didn’t you?” Discord responded and Spike had to admit that he had a point. “What do you want from me?” Spike asked looking nervous. Discord responded by giving out a chuckle. “I want you to become my superpowered champion!” Discord explained “You see I foresee a great evil that could destroy all life, eliminating chaos and in order to combat it when it eventually comes I want to give you the power to stop it!” “You want to give me superpowers?” Spike asked excitement overrunning any common sense he had in thinking it was right to make a deal with Discord. “Yes so are you in?” Discord asked and his grew when Spike nodded enthusiastically “excellent I will give you the power of SHAZAM!” Seeing the confused look on the face of the young dragon, Discord then explained “You see SHAZAM will be the key word in giving you the power to transform into an Alicorn with the powers of the figures that the SHAZAM acronym stands for:” “S for Starswirl the Bearded whose wisdom will be gifted to you!” “H for Hercules whose strength will be given to you.” “A for Atlas whose stamina will be a gift for you.” “Z for Zeus whose great power over lightning bolts will be bestowed upon you!” “A again but this time it stands for Achilles whose courage will be given to you.” “M for Mercury who you will be as fast as!” Discord snapped his fingers as the statues of the six figures that Discord mentioned were struck by a lightning bolt each and a larger one then struck Spike’s head, which gave him a bit of a headache at first. “Now say the word SHAZAM to transform and say the word again to transform back.” Discord finished. Spike lifted up his arm and shouted “SHAZAM!” and afterwards he was struck by lightning. Spike then saw to his amazement he had transformed into a purple Alicorn about the size of Princess Celestia and was pretty muscular, he had a straight black mane and he even had a Cutie Mark that was a lightning bolt. “This is incredible!” Spike said in an adult voice that was not his “but one more thing Discord.........can you please give me a cape?” “Seriously?” Discord asked looking dumbfounded “you already look like an Alicorn that even Celestia would swoon over and you want a cape?” After seeing the pleading look on Spike’s pony like face Discord sighed with an annoyed look on his face and he shouted “oh fine then!” After snapping his fingers Spike was now wearing a white cape (that had yellow lining on it) with a collar and a hood (that Spike was not wearing), Spike thought that maybe if he went back to Ponyville sometime later he could get Rarity to swoon over him. “Awesome now I need a superhero name.” And Spike pondered for a second and said “from this moment on I will be known as Captain Alicorn!” “Okay then Captain Alicorn go out and fight for truth, justice and the Equestrian way or something.” Discord said opening a portal back to Equestria for his new champion to go through. “WWEEEEE!!!!!” Captain Alicorn shouted with a child like tone as he flew out to the portal with lightning bolts following him as he flew. There left what Equestrians would affectionately call him, the big purple cheesecake. “Let’s hope I did not just make a huge mistake!”Discord muttered using his powers to clean up the mess that his new champion Captain Alicorn just made when he flew out of the Rock of Eternity. *Break* Captain Alicorn saw that he was outside any city, but he recognise that it was on the route to Manehattan for Twilight had taken him on a trip there at least once. He decided that Manehattan would be the perfect place to test his newfound superpowers, He then flew to the direction of Manehattan with literally lightning fast speed. As he was doing this a teenage red dragon called Garble just happened to be in the area when Captain Alicorn flew by. He stood in shock and fascination as he spotted the purple caped Alicorn fly by. Wanting to investigate and seeing that the Alicorn was heading for Manehattan, he spread out his wings he then began flying to Manehattan hoping to catch the new Alicorn there. Part 2 of 3: Origin of Black Garble!In Manehattan the citizens were running around the streets in terror at a giant metal mechanical crab like machine. In the cockpit was a white furred unicorn with no mane on his head, goggles and he was wearing a lab coat covering his Cutie Mark. “I was kicked out of the Manehattan Science Institution because they thought my projects were mad!” the unicorn cackled to himself “but from this moment on nopony will laugh at Dr Sivana ever again!” The machine was crushing buildings with its giant claw but then suddenly a purple blur was seen putting all of the citizens out of harm’s way. Sivana when he noticed was not happy. “Who dares mess with my plans! Show yourself!” Dr Sivana beginning to look angry, then the purple blur began stomping on the front of machine with hooves and lightning actually shot form his hooves as he done it. Dr Sivana then stared in shock as the purple blur floated in the air, in front of the window of his machine to reveal the purple alicorn. “You can call me Captain Alicorn!” the new hero said smiling at Sivana. Sivana snarled as he had his machine tried to attack Captain Alicorn with its legs but Captain Alicorn kept dodging them. “Too much hassle to try and hit me isn’t it!” Captain Alicorn taunted the old unicorn. Captain Alicorn then began using his new horn to fire thunder bolts at Sivana’s machine along with thunder bolts from his hooves. He then tore the machine’s legs off as it was malfunctioning. After the machine fell to the ground Sivana screamed and begged for his life as Captain Alicorn used telekinesis form his horn to pull Sivana out of his cock pit and throw him to the police ponies. Captain Alicorn then looked at the awestruck civilians and then started sucking up the cheering and applause they were giving him. “I am Equestria’s new superhero Captain Alicorn!” Captain Alicorn said as he then flew away as the police ponies began taking Sivana to the police station where he would be on his way to Blackgate. Garble watched from a building and was in awe at the power that Captain Alicorn displayed; spreading out his wings he began following Captain Alicorn to wherever he was heading now. *Break* Captain Alicorn was now the place where he transformed earlier and decided it was now time for him to turn back, “SHAZAM!!!” he shouted turning back into the small dragon Spike. Garble was dumbstruck when he saw that purple alicorn was just some stupid little baby dragon who could transform with a silly word, he then began flying to him. Spike was pleased with himself for becoming a superhero, he was thinking “this is so cool! Maybe I can tell Twilight and she will let me be her sidekick, or we can form our own Superhero team: Captain Alicorn and his Amazing Friends, the Super Powers Team or the Galactic Guardians!” Spike was then lifted by his throat and then threw down to the ground, Spike saw Garble standing over him furiously. “Can I help you?” Spike asked nervously, Garble snarled as he stomped his foot on the ground. “My name is Garble and I saw your turn into that alicorn and stop that stupid machine!” Garble snapped as he looked down at Spike and Spike just realised that in less than an hour of his superhero career someone had already discovered his identity! “Do you want to join my fan club.........” Spike asked nervously as Garble as picked him up again. “How does a brat like you gain that much power!!!!” snapped Garble looking furious that power was wasted on the weak. Spike decided he could transform and maybe scare Garble away, he then shouted out “SHAZAM!” Unfortunately Garble punched Spike just as he was saying it causing Garble to be hit by the lightning bolt instead. Garble was distracted and so was Spike wondering what had happened. “SHAZAM!” Spike shouted but nothing happened and as they realised it Spike looked on in horror while Garble started laughing. Spike decided to try again “SHAZAM! SHAZAM! SHAZAM” but again nothing happened. “It seems when it hit me you lost your powers, let’s see if I got them now.” Garble said as he lifted his hand up in the air and Spike watched in horror as Garble shouted “SHAZAM!” Garble was hit by a thunder bolt and then transformer into a black alicorn the size that Captain Alicorn was, he had a black cape with yellow lining (that had a collar and hood that unlike Spike, Garble had up), black mane and tail and even the same lightning bolt Cutie Mark that Captain Alicorn had. Garble laughed mockingly at saddened and horror-struck face and said “for less than an hour you had the power of a god but now that power belongs to me! I will be known as Black Garble and I will put this power to better use...........making sure that I become the new King of Equestria! You are now not worth my time so bye now, oh and thanks for the power!” Black Garble laughed manically as he flew away with Spike being pulled by an eagle claw into a portal. The animals nearby heard the ground shake as Discord’s voice shouted out all the way from the rock of Eternity: “YOU WERE CARELESS ENOUGH TO LET THAT THUG OF A TEENAGE DRAGON STEAL THE POWERS OF SHAZAM AWAY FROM YOU, BECAUSE YOU THOUUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO TRANSFORM WHEN ANOTHER DRAGON WAS IN CLOSE ENOUGHT PROXIMITY TO BE STRUCK OTHER THAN YOU? LET ME YOU WHAT YOUR IRRESPONSIBILITY HAVE CAUSED!” If you lived on the moon you still could have heard Discord’s raged shout, it was that impossibly loud. *Break* The newly rechristened super powerful black alicorn (not that that filly from an alternate universe who was Nightmare Moon adopted by Twilight Sparkle) Black Garble decided to start small and work his way up to taking over Equestria. He had found the village of Appleloosa. He began using his new powers to destroy buildings and even used a thunder bolt to torch the orchard they were putting together. Sherrif Silverstar and his ponies tried to take him down but they were outmatched by Black Garble’s powers. “If you do not want to be destroyed you will kneel before your new king Black Garble, SO KNEEL!!!!” Black Garble shouted in a loud booming voice that made sure the residents of Appleloosa heard him. The ponies knelt slowly and looking terrified, except for Sherrif Silverstar who stood defiantly with a glare so Black Garble used a thunder bolt to knock him unconscious. Soon all of Equestria will be kneeling before him....King Black Garble the First.......he loved the sound of that! *Break* Spike was back in the Rock of Eternity and was watching this through a portal with a cross and arms folded Discord. “I gave you the power of SHAZAM and in less than an hour you let your powers be stolen by a greedy dragon!!” Discord shouted looking furious “and we have a massive problem at hand!” “What problem is that?” Spike asked nervously and looking down, thanks to his carelessness Equestria was under threat of being taken over by a mad dragon turned alicorn. “The Power of SHAZAM is so great it can only be given fully to one individual at a time.” Discord explained walking around in circles “and the power of SHAZAM can only be given back if the wielder does so willingly or if they are not in their superpowered form!” “So you can’t take them back and you can’t give me any powers.” Spike asked looking dejected and there was nothing he could do. “Not completely true.” Discord said with a finger to his cheek “I can give you a portion of the full power of SHAZAM but it will wear off in an hour!” “Will I still have my cape?” Spike asked his hope rising at an incredible rate. “Yes you will get your cape back!” Discord said looking annoyed and he clicked his fingers, the statues were struck by lightning again and so was Spike. “Here goes nothing......” Spike thought as he shouted out “SHAZAM!!!!” Spike then saw he had transformed back into Captain Alicorn and he looked excited again. “Remember you will only have one hour to turn Garble into a normal dragon again so I can take the full powers of Shazam back, before you transform back.” Warned Discord looked serious which was a rare feat for the Draconequus “should you fail Black Garble will descend Equestria into chaos...........which I admitingly would like but it would also mean Equestria would be doomed when the great evil comes to destroy the world!” “One hour got it!” Captain Alicorn said as he flew out of the Rock of Eternity, ready to face his rival and get his full powers back. “I really should have thought this through before giving all that power to an irresponsible baby dragon......” Discord muttered to himself. Part 3 of 3: Captain Alicorn V Black Garble!In the base of the newly training Sunset Corps the remains of Nightmare Moon turned to shadow and went out of their hiding spot, it flew out of the window and it would be too late before they would discover the remains were missing. The shadow of the remains went to the Everfree Forest and came to a particular tree, where it then transformed into a shadowy pony with yellow eyes. *Break* Black Garble laughed as he looked at the residents of Appleloosa kneeling before him and soon they would all be his slaves. It would only take a short time before he would be king over all of Equestria and then perhaps he will then take over the dragon and griffon lands as well. All of his life he dreamed of having the power to bring the stupid ponies of Equestria down and force them to its knees before him. Know that power belonged to him and in the name of his late father he will make sure the ponies will know their place and acknowledge the dragon race as their superiors. Of course the weaker dragons like the Dragon King who was friends with Princess Celestia and that stupid little brat of a baby dragon who he had taken his powers from will have to be killed, there would be no place for traitorous pony sympathisers in his New Dragon Order. The Dragon race would again be about strength and power, of course while had to take the guise of a pony alicorn it will be known he will still be a dragon at heart and he will make sure his dragon brothers know it was him despite his appearance. Of course the Diamond Dogs will be welcomed to help farm for treasures for his kingdom and the Griffons with their warrior culture will have their place in his order as long as they know they will only exist to be soldiers for the Dragon masters. Yes his role as King of the entire planet and the races will be inevitable, he was certain there was not a force that could stop him now.... He was then taken by a large hoove kicking horn from the back. “Who DARES strike the future King of Equestria?” Black Garble snarled as he turned around and was shocked to see Captain Alicorn standing there, smirking at him. “Who died and made you king?” joked Captain Alicorn chuckling at the priceless look on his rival’s face, he was ready to make sure Garble gave back the powers that he stole. “Well are you just going to stand there and be silent or does the ‘future King of Equestria’ have anything to say at all?” Captain Alicorn joked again as his rival finally managed to find his voice. “You......but....how.......I took your powers from you!!!!!” muttered Black Garble in deep disbelief and anger, how did the runt get his powers back? “The spirit who gave me the powers knew I was the one worthy of wielding them.” Captain Alicorn said getting into a fighting stance “Now it is time for me to take those powers that you never should have gotten away from you!” Black Garble stared at Captain Alicorn and then started laughing maniacally. “I am keeping these powers and then I will use them to conquer Equestria!!!” said Black Garble getting ready to hit his rival “the only way you get these powers if you take them from my beaten body!” “If that is what it will take!” Captain Alicorn said as both alicorns charged up their rings with the power of the thunder and they started charging at eachother. The horn then hit eachother and they both were sent back, Captain Alicorn and Black Garble then charged at eachother with their hooves punching eachother, hooves full of lightning. Black Garble managed to send Captain Alicorn crashing into a building and then flew to him and started pounding on his face with his thunder powered punches. With a blast of thunder from his horn Captain Alicorn managed to send Black Garble off him and then flew up into the air. “YOU WILL NOT GET AWAY FROM ME THAT EASILY!!!!” Black Garble shouted out and he flew after him sending him thunder blasts with his horn which Captain Alicorn managed to keep dodging. Black Garble managed to get lucky and one of his thunder bolts hit Captain Alicorn and sent him flying to the ground. With a smirk Black Garble flew down after him and started punching him with his hooves again. “You know it’s funny.” Black Garble laughed while smirking at the glaring form of his purple rival “my father always hated ponies, he was caught trying to kidnap ponies and bring them to the Dragon lands so he could murder them but he was caught and sentenced to be prison where he stayed until his death. His dying request was that if I ever had the power to bring the stupid ponies of Equestria to its knees and make them bow to me, then I would do so!” “So you are following your father’s delusions that you are some sort of destined king of Equestria?” asked Captain Alicorn “say you do manage to defeat me, you will end up defeated by Princess Celestia!” “SHE WILL FALL BEFORE ME AS YOU WILL RIGHT NOW!!!!” Black Garble shouted out as Captain Alicorn managed to send Black Garble back with a blast from his spell so he could get up again. “You are weak, you hold back the true power that you possess.” Black Garble smirked as he sent several thunder bolts at Captain Alicorn which he managed to dodge. “I have no such restraints and while I may have let you live earlier that is a mistake that I will not make again!” Black Garble shouted as his many thunder bolts managed to hit Captain Alicorn down so that he could get up again. “The fact that you are an arrogant bully who thinks ponies should be kneeling over him proves exactly why you are unworthy and undeserving of this power!” Black Garble snapped as he began viciously punching Captain Alicorn, “Soon I will not have to deal with your jibes again!” Black Garble said to the big purple cheesecake’s face. “The ponies of Equestria will never bow to you!”Captain Alicorn said and Black Garble stopped punching to laugh in his face. “Oh yes they will! Just like these weak ponies of Appleloosa!” Black Garbled smirked as he gestured to the residents who were watching from a safe distance. “Start kneeling before your new king!” Black Garble told the residents. But instead the residents started glaring at him and started throwing garbage at Black Garble while booing and jeering. Black Garble stood dumbstruck and furious anger rising in him as he listened to what they were shouting at him: “YOU STINK!!!” “GO AWAY YOU BIG BULLY!!” “WE WILL NEVER BOW TO YOU AGAIN!” “YOU SHOULD BE BLACK GARBAGE!!!!” “YOU’RE NOT A KING!” “You were saying?” Captain Alicorn smirked as Black Garble faced him the anger now showing on his face. “After I have killed you I will make them pay for their treachery.” Black Garble shouted out ready to strike again. Then Captain Alicorn heard Discord’s voice speaking to him: “Hey Spike, Captain Alicorn or whatever you want to call yourself, it’s me your new friend Discord the Draconequus Spirit of Chaos and Disharmony, you know the one who gave you the Powers of Shazam! You might want to hurry up and get the full power of SHAZAM back from Black Garble soon. DO you want to know why? Remember when I said the small amount of the power of SHAZAM that I gave you would run out within an hour? Well guess what, that hour is almost up! So please hurry up before you revert back to a puny baby dragon and Black garble will get to plunge Equestria into eternal chaos.........which I would actually like if it didn’t lead to destruction of all that there is. Just to let you know, bye!” “I have to think of something quick........wait that might work!” pondered Captain Alicorn and then he started smiling. “You will never be able to use the full Potentional of the power of SHAMAZ!!!” Captain Alicorn told Black Garble hoping the plan he just came up with would work. Black Garble started laughing at the Big Purple Cheesecake and told him “not only are you a weak brat but you are a stupid one who can’t even get the word right, listen very carefully it is SHAZAM......” Black Garble stood his mouth open in horror as he realised his mistake one second too late, Captain Alicorn smirked as Black Garble then said desperately “no wait, SHA........” A thunder bolt had hit Black Garble turning him back into normal Garble, Captain Alicorn then used a lightning bolt to knock him out and he was once again endowed with the Full powers of SHAZAM. Captain Alicorn satisfied that his job was done flying away. Garble managed to get up and shouted after him “come back here, I am not done with you yet.......SHAZAM............SHAZAM.........” Garble screamed in rage as he realised he had lost his new powers, turning around his anger turned to fear as he saw all the angry residents of Appleloosa looking at him and glaring. Garble gave them a sheepish smile as Sherrif Silverstar told him “you are in a big heap of trouble!” *Break* Spike managed to get home to Canterlot and gave an excuse story to an extremely worried Twilight that he had gone for a jog but got lost on his way back. Twilight relieved that Spike was back safe and sound accepted his story but warned him if he worried her like that ever again he would be grounded for a long time. When he got to his bed he heard Discord speak to him in his ear again: “Good job with getting the full power of SHAZAM back but make sure you don’t foolishly lose the powers to some maniac again or else I will be very cross! You are ready to accept your duties as my champion and you are welcome to come back here at any time if you want to train your powers or chat......seriously please do come over sometime as it gets extremely lonely here with only these statues to talk to!” Spike chuckled and said “will do Discord...” *Break* Garble was furious that for a brief time he had the power to become a king but he had lost it. His punishment was that all on his own he had to restore Appleloosa to exactly how it was before he came and started rampaging. This including fixing all the building on his own as well as replanting the orchard, he would be banned from Appleloosa forever when he was done and had a cell in Blackgate to look forward to for five years. He would also have to do mandatory community service every weekend from now on in order to pay back the town for the money they lost on the businesses he had wreaked as Black Garble. He was furious that while that bratty baby dragon got to enjoy all of that power he would be busting his hump when he is not rotting in a pony prison. He had the power to make his and his father’s dream of ruling over a dragon dominated Equestria, but now he had lost that power. He swore that the Big Purple Cheesecake would pay, he swore that the residents of Appleloosa would pay and he swore Equestria would pay. He wished more than anything to have the power to transform back into Black Garble again so that he would exact his vengeance. Or at least he wished he had his cape back, he thought the cape and hooded look suited him. “......AND SO THAT ENDS THE STORY OF HOW SPIKE BECAME THE WIELDER OF THE POWER OF SHAZAM AND HIS FIRST ADVENTURE AS CAPTAIN ALICORN! HE WOULD GO ONT TO HAVE MANY MORE ADVENTURES WHICH YOU ALL WOULD SEE SOON! UNTIL THEN GOODBYE AND GOOD NIGHT!!!!” . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . BOTH CAPTAIN ALICORN AND BLACK GARBLE WILL RETURN TO EARTH-52 SOON!!!!!!! EPILOGUE The shadowy pony with the Yellow Eyes was in front of the Tree of Harmony. “These so called superheroes of Equestria will be a nuisance to the great plan, They will be disposed and the plan will commence as normal!!!!”
Part 1 of 3: Origin of Captain Alicorn!The Rock of Eternity, a plane of existence that exists outside the planet that Equestria was on. About a thousand years ago the demented chaotic mischievous Draconequus that was known as Discord the spirit of Disharmony and Chaos ruled Equestria in a state of unrest. Princesses Celestia and Luna used the power of the Elements of Harmony to trap him there for the rest of his life. Discord was immortal so he was cursed to stay there for literally all of eternity; he was reduced to using his chaotic powers to try and amuse himself. He got bored pretty quickly. Recently he watched as Equestria had a new age with ponies gaining powers from sources and becoming what was known as superheroes. Now what ponies did not realise was that there was an age where Equestria had superheroes before. There was Hawkstallion, Hourstallion, Starfilly and the Atom who were among the heroes apart of the Justice League of Equestria but they retired when they felt Equestria no longer needed them. Now there was a new breed of superheroes that Discord was watching come to life in Equestria that Discord was taking note off. There was Twilight Sparkle the student of his old friend Princess Celestia, who using an alien power ring became known as the Green Lantern. There was the unicorn mare Rarity who became a vigilante known as Mare Do Well wanting to take revenge on crime for the murder of her parents. There was Applejack a farm earth pony who discovered she was an alien and became the hero Supermare. Pinkie Pie who spent five years on an island training her pie throwing skills and when returning to Ponyville became a vigilante known as the Pink Pie-Er, who nopony made the connection Discord did not know. Rainbow Dash who after attempting a Sonic Rainboom during a lighting storm gained the power to move at supersonic speed even faster than what a normal Pegasus, even Dash before could move. She became the hero the Dash....Discord thought that ponies must be really getting stupid if they did not make THAT connection! Fluttershy who spent five years on the island Pinkie Pie was trapped on and was trained by the Amazon tribe who had lived there, managing to win the tournament to determine their champion and after being given the power of their gods she went back home to Equestria as Wonder Mare! There was also Trixie Gold a mare who had came from the future thanks to a being called the Hunter, a pony who Discord found peculiar. A particular day came when Discord got a vision of the possible future when a great evil would destroy all life on the planet and turn it into a barren wasteland. Being the spirit of Disharmony, Discord actually enjoyed watching this before a terrible realization hit upon him, a world without life was a world without chaos and that was no fun at all! After pondering what to do he decided he would have to create a superhero of his own to help stop this future from happening, but who would be a good choice? He decided a young one would be the easiest to mould into the superhero image that he could use as his personal pawn if he saw fit. He then looked through his mirror to Equestria to decide who should be his champion. Scootaloo? Nah she already had a destiny for her as the Dash’s sidekick. Sweetie Belle? No she already started her career as her sister Rarity’s sidekick Filly-Be-Goode. Applebloom? No she would be developing her own superpowers soon enough. Snips or Snails? Well they are gullible and they would be easy to manipulate for his own ends but he was watching them right now due to their own curiosity and stupidity in dealing with mysterious objects they release two alien prisoners. Babs Seed? Well she was kind of good but she was the one who would join up with the bullies if given the chance to escape their persecution. Silver Spoon? Well she did have some good in her heart but too much of a bully to let it shine through. Diamond Tiara? A definitive no, giving HER superpowers would be the biggest mistake of his entire life, considering how many eons he has lived that would be saying a lot. He then spotted a young pony raised dragon called Spike and he smiled, he just found his perfect candidate. *break* Spike was walking about Canterlot deep in thoughts, ever since his best friend Twilight became the Green Lantern she had been on many adventures and he had to be left behind. He was wishing he could become a hero on his own and then he can go on adventures as well, that Rarity mare he met in Ponyville may actually go out with him if he did become one... Just as he was thinking it a hole in the ground appeared and a eagle claw pretty much pulled him in, nopony actually noticing him being pulled into the ground screaming. *Break* Spike found himself marvelling at the cave that he was in full of statues of different gods and historical figures that was in the many books that Twilight had shown him, from Commander Hurricane to Starswirl the Bearded. He then noticed the Draconequus smiling at him. “Who are you?” Spike asked extremely frightened at Discord. “I am Discord and welcome to my home the Rock of Eternity.” Discord smiled at Spike’s shocked expression. “But – but – but I thought Discord and the Rock of Eternity was an old pony’s tale.” Spike muttered in shock. “You thought that of Nightmare Moon didn’t you?” Discord responded and Spike had to admit that he had a point. “What do you want from me?” Spike asked looking nervous. Discord responded by giving out a chuckle. “I want you to become my superpowered champion!” Discord explained “You see I foresee a great evil that could destroy all life, eliminating chaos and in order to combat it when it eventually comes I want to give you the power to stop it!” “You want to give me superpowers?” Spike asked excitement overrunning any common sense he had in thinking it was right to make a deal with Discord. “Yes so are you in?” Discord asked and his grew when Spike nodded enthusiastically “excellent I will give you the power of SHAZAM!” Seeing the confused look on the face of the young dragon, Discord then explained “You see SHAZAM will be the key word in giving you the power to transform into an Alicorn with the powers of the figures that the SHAZAM acronym stands for:” “S for Starswirl the Bearded whose wisdom will be gifted to you!” “H for Hercules whose strength will be given to you.” “A for Atlas whose stamina will be a gift for you.” “Z for Zeus whose great power over lightning bolts will be bestowed upon you!” “A again but this time it stands for Achilles whose courage will be given to you.” “M for Mercury who you will be as fast as!” Discord snapped his fingers as the statues of the six figures that Discord mentioned were struck by a lightning bolt each and a larger one then struck Spike’s head, which gave him a bit of a headache at first. “Now say the word SHAZAM to transform and say the word again to transform back.” Discord finished. Spike lifted up his arm and shouted “SHAZAM!” and afterwards he was struck by lightning. Spike then saw to his amazement he had transformed into a purple Alicorn about the size of Princess Celestia and was pretty muscular, he had a straight black mane and he even had a Cutie Mark that was a lightning bolt. “This is incredible!” Spike said in an adult voice that was not his “but one more thing Discord.........can you please give me a cape?” “Seriously?” Discord asked looking dumbfounded “you already look like an Alicorn that even Celestia would swoon over and you want a cape?” After seeing the pleading look on Spike’s pony like face Discord sighed with an annoyed look on his face and he shouted “oh fine then!” After snapping his fingers Spike was now wearing a white cape (that had yellow lining on it) with a collar and a hood (that Spike was not wearing), Spike thought that maybe if he went back to Ponyville sometime later he could get Rarity to swoon over him. “Awesome now I need a superhero name.” And Spike pondered for a second and said “from this moment on I will be known as Captain Alicorn!” “Okay then Captain Alicorn go out and fight for truth, justice and the Equestrian way or something.” Discord said opening a portal back to Equestria for his new champion to go through. “WWEEEEE!!!!!” Captain Alicorn shouted with a child like tone as he flew out to the portal with lightning bolts following him as he flew. There left what Equestrians would affectionately call him, the big purple cheesecake. “Let’s hope I did not just make a huge mistake!”Discord muttered using his powers to clean up the mess that his new champion Captain Alicorn just made when he flew out of the Rock of Eternity. *Break* Captain Alicorn saw that he was outside any city, but he recognise that it was on the route to Manehattan for Twilight had taken him on a trip there at least once. He decided that Manehattan would be the perfect place to test his newfound superpowers, He then flew to the direction of Manehattan with literally lightning fast speed. As he was doing this a teenage red dragon called Garble just happened to be in the area when Captain Alicorn flew by. He stood in shock and fascination as he spotted the purple caped Alicorn fly by. Wanting to investigate and seeing that the Alicorn was heading for Manehattan, he spread out his wings he then began flying to Manehattan hoping to catch the new Alicorn there.
Part 2 of 3: Origin of Black Garble!In Manehattan the citizens were running around the streets in terror at a giant metal mechanical crab like machine. In the cockpit was a white furred unicorn with no mane on his head, goggles and he was wearing a lab coat covering his Cutie Mark. “I was kicked out of the Manehattan Science Institution because they thought my projects were mad!” the unicorn cackled to himself “but from this moment on nopony will laugh at Dr Sivana ever again!” The machine was crushing buildings with its giant claw but then suddenly a purple blur was seen putting all of the citizens out of harm’s way. Sivana when he noticed was not happy. “Who dares mess with my plans! Show yourself!” Dr Sivana beginning to look angry, then the purple blur began stomping on the front of machine with hooves and lightning actually shot form his hooves as he done it. Dr Sivana then stared in shock as the purple blur floated in the air, in front of the window of his machine to reveal the purple alicorn. “You can call me Captain Alicorn!” the new hero said smiling at Sivana. Sivana snarled as he had his machine tried to attack Captain Alicorn with its legs but Captain Alicorn kept dodging them. “Too much hassle to try and hit me isn’t it!” Captain Alicorn taunted the old unicorn. Captain Alicorn then began using his new horn to fire thunder bolts at Sivana’s machine along with thunder bolts from his hooves. He then tore the machine’s legs off as it was malfunctioning. After the machine fell to the ground Sivana screamed and begged for his life as Captain Alicorn used telekinesis form his horn to pull Sivana out of his cock pit and throw him to the police ponies. Captain Alicorn then looked at the awestruck civilians and then started sucking up the cheering and applause they were giving him. “I am Equestria’s new superhero Captain Alicorn!” Captain Alicorn said as he then flew away as the police ponies began taking Sivana to the police station where he would be on his way to Blackgate. Garble watched from a building and was in awe at the power that Captain Alicorn displayed; spreading out his wings he began following Captain Alicorn to wherever he was heading now. *Break* Captain Alicorn was now the place where he transformed earlier and decided it was now time for him to turn back, “SHAZAM!!!” he shouted turning back into the small dragon Spike. Garble was dumbstruck when he saw that purple alicorn was just some stupid little baby dragon who could transform with a silly word, he then began flying to him. Spike was pleased with himself for becoming a superhero, he was thinking “this is so cool! Maybe I can tell Twilight and she will let me be her sidekick, or we can form our own Superhero team: Captain Alicorn and his Amazing Friends, the Super Powers Team or the Galactic Guardians!” Spike was then lifted by his throat and then threw down to the ground, Spike saw Garble standing over him furiously. “Can I help you?” Spike asked nervously, Garble snarled as he stomped his foot on the ground. “My name is Garble and I saw your turn into that alicorn and stop that stupid machine!” Garble snapped as he looked down at Spike and Spike just realised that in less than an hour of his superhero career someone had already discovered his identity! “Do you want to join my fan club.........” Spike asked nervously as Garble as picked him up again. “How does a brat like you gain that much power!!!!” snapped Garble looking furious that power was wasted on the weak. Spike decided he could transform and maybe scare Garble away, he then shouted out “SHAZAM!” Unfortunately Garble punched Spike just as he was saying it causing Garble to be hit by the lightning bolt instead. Garble was distracted and so was Spike wondering what had happened. “SHAZAM!” Spike shouted but nothing happened and as they realised it Spike looked on in horror while Garble started laughing. Spike decided to try again “SHAZAM! SHAZAM! SHAZAM” but again nothing happened. “It seems when it hit me you lost your powers, let’s see if I got them now.” Garble said as he lifted his hand up in the air and Spike watched in horror as Garble shouted “SHAZAM!” Garble was hit by a thunder bolt and then transformer into a black alicorn the size that Captain Alicorn was, he had a black cape with yellow lining (that had a collar and hood that unlike Spike, Garble had up), black mane and tail and even the same lightning bolt Cutie Mark that Captain Alicorn had. Garble laughed mockingly at saddened and horror-struck face and said “for less than an hour you had the power of a god but now that power belongs to me! I will be known as Black Garble and I will put this power to better use...........making sure that I become the new King of Equestria! You are now not worth my time so bye now, oh and thanks for the power!” Black Garble laughed manically as he flew away with Spike being pulled by an eagle claw into a portal. The animals nearby heard the ground shake as Discord’s voice shouted out all the way from the rock of Eternity: “YOU WERE CARELESS ENOUGH TO LET THAT THUG OF A TEENAGE DRAGON STEAL THE POWERS OF SHAZAM AWAY FROM YOU, BECAUSE YOU THOUUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO TRANSFORM WHEN ANOTHER DRAGON WAS IN CLOSE ENOUGHT PROXIMITY TO BE STRUCK OTHER THAN YOU? LET ME YOU WHAT YOUR IRRESPONSIBILITY HAVE CAUSED!” If you lived on the moon you still could have heard Discord’s raged shout, it was that impossibly loud. *Break* The newly rechristened super powerful black alicorn (not that that filly from an alternate universe who was Nightmare Moon adopted by Twilight Sparkle) Black Garble decided to start small and work his way up to taking over Equestria. He had found the village of Appleloosa. He began using his new powers to destroy buildings and even used a thunder bolt to torch the orchard they were putting together. Sherrif Silverstar and his ponies tried to take him down but they were outmatched by Black Garble’s powers. “If you do not want to be destroyed you will kneel before your new king Black Garble, SO KNEEL!!!!” Black Garble shouted in a loud booming voice that made sure the residents of Appleloosa heard him. The ponies knelt slowly and looking terrified, except for Sherrif Silverstar who stood defiantly with a glare so Black Garble used a thunder bolt to knock him unconscious. Soon all of Equestria will be kneeling before him....King Black Garble the First.......he loved the sound of that! *Break* Spike was back in the Rock of Eternity and was watching this through a portal with a cross and arms folded Discord. “I gave you the power of SHAZAM and in less than an hour you let your powers be stolen by a greedy dragon!!” Discord shouted looking furious “and we have a massive problem at hand!” “What problem is that?” Spike asked nervously and looking down, thanks to his carelessness Equestria was under threat of being taken over by a mad dragon turned alicorn. “The Power of SHAZAM is so great it can only be given fully to one individual at a time.” Discord explained walking around in circles “and the power of SHAZAM can only be given back if the wielder does so willingly or if they are not in their superpowered form!” “So you can’t take them back and you can’t give me any powers.” Spike asked looking dejected and there was nothing he could do. “Not completely true.” Discord said with a finger to his cheek “I can give you a portion of the full power of SHAZAM but it will wear off in an hour!” “Will I still have my cape?” Spike asked his hope rising at an incredible rate. “Yes you will get your cape back!” Discord said looking annoyed and he clicked his fingers, the statues were struck by lightning again and so was Spike. “Here goes nothing......” Spike thought as he shouted out “SHAZAM!!!!” Spike then saw he had transformed back into Captain Alicorn and he looked excited again. “Remember you will only have one hour to turn Garble into a normal dragon again so I can take the full powers of Shazam back, before you transform back.” Warned Discord looked serious which was a rare feat for the Draconequus “should you fail Black Garble will descend Equestria into chaos...........which I admitingly would like but it would also mean Equestria would be doomed when the great evil comes to destroy the world!” “One hour got it!” Captain Alicorn said as he flew out of the Rock of Eternity, ready to face his rival and get his full powers back. “I really should have thought this through before giving all that power to an irresponsible baby dragon......” Discord muttered to himself.
Part 3 of 3: Captain Alicorn V Black Garble!In the base of the newly training Sunset Corps the remains of Nightmare Moon turned to shadow and went out of their hiding spot, it flew out of the window and it would be too late before they would discover the remains were missing. The shadow of the remains went to the Everfree Forest and came to a particular tree, where it then transformed into a shadowy pony with yellow eyes. *Break* Black Garble laughed as he looked at the residents of Appleloosa kneeling before him and soon they would all be his slaves. It would only take a short time before he would be king over all of Equestria and then perhaps he will then take over the dragon and griffon lands as well. All of his life he dreamed of having the power to bring the stupid ponies of Equestria down and force them to its knees before him. Know that power belonged to him and in the name of his late father he will make sure the ponies will know their place and acknowledge the dragon race as their superiors. Of course the weaker dragons like the Dragon King who was friends with Princess Celestia and that stupid little brat of a baby dragon who he had taken his powers from will have to be killed, there would be no place for traitorous pony sympathisers in his New Dragon Order. The Dragon race would again be about strength and power, of course while had to take the guise of a pony alicorn it will be known he will still be a dragon at heart and he will make sure his dragon brothers know it was him despite his appearance. Of course the Diamond Dogs will be welcomed to help farm for treasures for his kingdom and the Griffons with their warrior culture will have their place in his order as long as they know they will only exist to be soldiers for the Dragon masters. Yes his role as King of the entire planet and the races will be inevitable, he was certain there was not a force that could stop him now.... He was then taken by a large hoove kicking horn from the back. “Who DARES strike the future King of Equestria?” Black Garble snarled as he turned around and was shocked to see Captain Alicorn standing there, smirking at him. “Who died and made you king?” joked Captain Alicorn chuckling at the priceless look on his rival’s face, he was ready to make sure Garble gave back the powers that he stole. “Well are you just going to stand there and be silent or does the ‘future King of Equestria’ have anything to say at all?” Captain Alicorn joked again as his rival finally managed to find his voice. “You......but....how.......I took your powers from you!!!!!” muttered Black Garble in deep disbelief and anger, how did the runt get his powers back? “The spirit who gave me the powers knew I was the one worthy of wielding them.” Captain Alicorn said getting into a fighting stance “Now it is time for me to take those powers that you never should have gotten away from you!” Black Garble stared at Captain Alicorn and then started laughing maniacally. “I am keeping these powers and then I will use them to conquer Equestria!!!” said Black Garble getting ready to hit his rival “the only way you get these powers if you take them from my beaten body!” “If that is what it will take!” Captain Alicorn said as both alicorns charged up their rings with the power of the thunder and they started charging at eachother. The horn then hit eachother and they both were sent back, Captain Alicorn and Black Garble then charged at eachother with their hooves punching eachother, hooves full of lightning. Black Garble managed to send Captain Alicorn crashing into a building and then flew to him and started pounding on his face with his thunder powered punches. With a blast of thunder from his horn Captain Alicorn managed to send Black Garble off him and then flew up into the air. “YOU WILL NOT GET AWAY FROM ME THAT EASILY!!!!” Black Garble shouted out and he flew after him sending him thunder blasts with his horn which Captain Alicorn managed to keep dodging. Black Garble managed to get lucky and one of his thunder bolts hit Captain Alicorn and sent him flying to the ground. With a smirk Black Garble flew down after him and started punching him with his hooves again. “You know it’s funny.” Black Garble laughed while smirking at the glaring form of his purple rival “my father always hated ponies, he was caught trying to kidnap ponies and bring them to the Dragon lands so he could murder them but he was caught and sentenced to be prison where he stayed until his death. His dying request was that if I ever had the power to bring the stupid ponies of Equestria to its knees and make them bow to me, then I would do so!” “So you are following your father’s delusions that you are some sort of destined king of Equestria?” asked Captain Alicorn “say you do manage to defeat me, you will end up defeated by Princess Celestia!” “SHE WILL FALL BEFORE ME AS YOU WILL RIGHT NOW!!!!” Black Garble shouted out as Captain Alicorn managed to send Black Garble back with a blast from his spell so he could get up again. “You are weak, you hold back the true power that you possess.” Black Garble smirked as he sent several thunder bolts at Captain Alicorn which he managed to dodge. “I have no such restraints and while I may have let you live earlier that is a mistake that I will not make again!” Black Garble shouted as his many thunder bolts managed to hit Captain Alicorn down so that he could get up again. “The fact that you are an arrogant bully who thinks ponies should be kneeling over him proves exactly why you are unworthy and undeserving of this power!” Black Garble snapped as he began viciously punching Captain Alicorn, “Soon I will not have to deal with your jibes again!” Black Garble said to the big purple cheesecake’s face. “The ponies of Equestria will never bow to you!”Captain Alicorn said and Black Garble stopped punching to laugh in his face. “Oh yes they will! Just like these weak ponies of Appleloosa!” Black Garbled smirked as he gestured to the residents who were watching from a safe distance. “Start kneeling before your new king!” Black Garble told the residents. But instead the residents started glaring at him and started throwing garbage at Black Garble while booing and jeering. Black Garble stood dumbstruck and furious anger rising in him as he listened to what they were shouting at him: “YOU STINK!!!” “GO AWAY YOU BIG BULLY!!” “WE WILL NEVER BOW TO YOU AGAIN!” “YOU SHOULD BE BLACK GARBAGE!!!!” “YOU’RE NOT A KING!” “You were saying?” Captain Alicorn smirked as Black Garble faced him the anger now showing on his face. “After I have killed you I will make them pay for their treachery.” Black Garble shouted out ready to strike again. Then Captain Alicorn heard Discord’s voice speaking to him: “Hey Spike, Captain Alicorn or whatever you want to call yourself, it’s me your new friend Discord the Draconequus Spirit of Chaos and Disharmony, you know the one who gave you the Powers of Shazam! You might want to hurry up and get the full power of SHAZAM back from Black Garble soon. DO you want to know why? Remember when I said the small amount of the power of SHAZAM that I gave you would run out within an hour? Well guess what, that hour is almost up! So please hurry up before you revert back to a puny baby dragon and Black garble will get to plunge Equestria into eternal chaos.........which I would actually like if it didn’t lead to destruction of all that there is. Just to let you know, bye!” “I have to think of something quick........wait that might work!” pondered Captain Alicorn and then he started smiling. “You will never be able to use the full Potentional of the power of SHAMAZ!!!” Captain Alicorn told Black Garble hoping the plan he just came up with would work. Black Garble started laughing at the Big Purple Cheesecake and told him “not only are you a weak brat but you are a stupid one who can’t even get the word right, listen very carefully it is SHAZAM......” Black Garble stood his mouth open in horror as he realised his mistake one second too late, Captain Alicorn smirked as Black Garble then said desperately “no wait, SHA........” A thunder bolt had hit Black Garble turning him back into normal Garble, Captain Alicorn then used a lightning bolt to knock him out and he was once again endowed with the Full powers of SHAZAM. Captain Alicorn satisfied that his job was done flying away. Garble managed to get up and shouted after him “come back here, I am not done with you yet.......SHAZAM............SHAZAM.........” Garble screamed in rage as he realised he had lost his new powers, turning around his anger turned to fear as he saw all the angry residents of Appleloosa looking at him and glaring. Garble gave them a sheepish smile as Sherrif Silverstar told him “you are in a big heap of trouble!” *Break* Spike managed to get home to Canterlot and gave an excuse story to an extremely worried Twilight that he had gone for a jog but got lost on his way back. Twilight relieved that Spike was back safe and sound accepted his story but warned him if he worried her like that ever again he would be grounded for a long time. When he got to his bed he heard Discord speak to him in his ear again: “Good job with getting the full power of SHAZAM back but make sure you don’t foolishly lose the powers to some maniac again or else I will be very cross! You are ready to accept your duties as my champion and you are welcome to come back here at any time if you want to train your powers or chat......seriously please do come over sometime as it gets extremely lonely here with only these statues to talk to!” Spike chuckled and said “will do Discord...” *Break* Garble was furious that for a brief time he had the power to become a king but he had lost it. His punishment was that all on his own he had to restore Appleloosa to exactly how it was before he came and started rampaging. This including fixing all the building on his own as well as replanting the orchard, he would be banned from Appleloosa forever when he was done and had a cell in Blackgate to look forward to for five years. He would also have to do mandatory community service every weekend from now on in order to pay back the town for the money they lost on the businesses he had wreaked as Black Garble. He was furious that while that bratty baby dragon got to enjoy all of that power he would be busting his hump when he is not rotting in a pony prison. He had the power to make his and his father’s dream of ruling over a dragon dominated Equestria, but now he had lost that power. He swore that the Big Purple Cheesecake would pay, he swore that the residents of Appleloosa would pay and he swore Equestria would pay. He wished more than anything to have the power to transform back into Black Garble again so that he would exact his vengeance. Or at least he wished he had his cape back, he thought the cape and hooded look suited him. “......AND SO THAT ENDS THE STORY OF HOW SPIKE BECAME THE WIELDER OF THE POWER OF SHAZAM AND HIS FIRST ADVENTURE AS CAPTAIN ALICORN! HE WOULD GO ONT TO HAVE MANY MORE ADVENTURES WHICH YOU ALL WOULD SEE SOON! UNTIL THEN GOODBYE AND GOOD NIGHT!!!!” . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . BOTH CAPTAIN ALICORN AND BLACK GARBLE WILL RETURN TO EARTH-52 SOON!!!!!!! EPILOGUE The shadowy pony with the Yellow Eyes was in front of the Tree of Harmony. “These so called superheroes of Equestria will be a nuisance to the great plan, They will be disposed and the plan will commence as normal!!!!”
