Equestria's Mightiest Mortal, SHAZAM!

A black Alicorn Stallion stood over the falling six mares. They had try and fail to stop him. The black stallion did admit one thing, they were great fighters. He flew down to them and smile. Twilight was weak, she knew she should have brought her ring. Applejack was able to match the Alicorn in strength, but she had to avoid using her powers since she wasn't Super Mare, Rarity had to restrain her powers as well. The rest of them either could use they powers or risk even trying in case others got hurt. Twilight try to push himself help and try to call her ring but she was too weak to get up.

"You six did well. You all make fine warriors. Shame you won't be around to see me rebuild the world." The Alicorn said and pick up Twilight with his hoof.

Twilight look at the Black Alicorn stallion and say nothing.

"Heh, you know. I was just thinking about making you my queen." He said.

"For... forget...it!" Twilight said and spit in his face.

The black Alicorn wipe his check and slam Twilight on the ground. He raise his hoof and was about to bring it down on Twilight head, when and right hoof smash into his check. The Alicorn was send through three buildings and stop inside the fourth one. Twilight eyes widen as she saw the Purple Stallion Alicorn in front of her. His green mane flow through the wind as he landed and turn to her.

"Miss Twilight, are you ok?" He said.

Twilight still couldn't stop blushing at the sound of his voice. It was a strong, but a kind voice. She nods and try to get up again.

"Whoa, there! Stay down. You're hurt really bad. Push yourself any more and you will need an body cast." He said.

"Thank... you for... coming, Shazam." Twilight smile weakly.

Shazam smile and bow his head.

"Any thing to help an fellow pony." He said.

Then he felt some danger heading for him and rise both hooves to block and punch that push him away from Twilight and down the street. He was able to stop him and lower his hooves.

"So, the Hero of this time shows himself." The Alicorn said as he floated down.

"Funny, You took longer then me to show up again." Shazam said.

"Hm, so cracking jokes? This should be fun." The Alicorn said and ready himself to fight.

"Trust me, this time is nothing like yours." Shazam said as he ready himself as well.

We get an close up look at Shazam eyes to see that they were green and stilted like a dragon's.

One year earlier...

Spike narrow his eyes and ready himself for a tough fight.

"So, it time for me to stop you once more.", He said, "Oh? You don't think I can? Well then, what do you say about this?"

Spike held up an feather duster and started dusting all the books. He ever added fighting sounds while he work. Once he was done the room sparkle and he spin the feather duster around and threw in the cleaning are and look around.

"Yep! Another crime of dust defeated." Spike nods and started to throw different punches and kicks like he was a super hero.

Spike just turn to throw and upper jab when he spotted Twilight standing by the door. Spike jump and started blushing.

"Twilight I didn't...I mean I was just... How long have you been standing there?" Spike shutter.

Just where you started saying that "another crime of dust defeated" and you started to throw punches and kicks." She answer, smirking.

Spike turn away. He like super heroes. True they were always in comic books, but he wish he was one too. Twilight walk pass him and look over his work.

"Nice work as always Spike." She said.

"Thanks!" Spike smile.

"The Watchtower is almost finish. Once we get the power running , I'll give you an first tour." Twilight said.

"THE WATCHTOWER!!!" Spike shouted in glee.

Spike knew about the Watchtower. It was an tower that was build to last out in space and only the Justice League of Equestria could go in it. Spike was allow because he knew the Justice League. Twilight Sparkle was the Green Lantern, Applejack was Super Mare, Rainbow Dash was Batman, Rarity was Wonder Mare, Fluttershy was Aqua Mare and Pinkie Pie was The Flash. He had agree to keep their heroes identity secret and he heard that they been working on the tower for months and now, he was going to be the first creature of Equestria to see it!

Twilight ring then blink, telling her then might be trouble.

"This is Twilight, is something wrong?" She said into her ring.

"Twi, we need ya up here. We're havin' an bit of trouble with the power battery." Applejack voice came through.

"I'll be right there." Twilight said and turn to Spike.

"Sorry Spike, I have to get to the Watchtower. I got to make sure nothing wrong, but I will return to take you there." Twilight said as she willed her Green Lantern uniform on.

"Sure, I'll watch the Library." Spike said.

"Since you done cleaning, you can do what you want to do." Twilight said and flew off through the leaves.

Spike sigh and sat down. He really was looking forward to going to the Watchtower. He knew that Twilight been to space many time due to her job as the Green Lantern. Applejack was from space and the others never been there until they build the Watchtower. Spike decide to head up to his room to grab his list of things to do. He kind of pick it up from Twilight from making lists so much. He reach his door and enter his room. He walk over to where is listen is and started to look over it.

"Let's see, Clean the Library, stack books, play with the CMC's...."Spike said reading his list.

Spike eyes started to feel heavy and he fought to keep them awake. Sadly he lost the battle and fell asleep. While Spike was sleeping an small light floated in and hover over him for a few seconds. It then let out an bright light that cover the room. When it fade, Spike was gone. All that was left was Spike list and bed.

Spike tossing and turn trying to find a comfort spot, but his bed was cold as the floor. Spike finally open his eyes to grab his blanket, but did feel it. When he notices that he look around. He could see that he was not in the library anymore. What had been left in its stead was a room filled with ancient artifacts, some weird, some scary, and one that appeared to be a golden helmet on a stand that was placed away from the other items.  Spike look around quiet awe at the sights. He started walking down the hall and saw more sightings. He soon saw seven statues of creatures that looked like something from a nightmare. He spotted names under them and read them as he pass.

“Pride…Gluttony…Greed…Envy…Sloth…Anger…Lust? What are these things?” He ask out loud.

“They are the Seven Deadly Enemies of Mortals.” A loud voice boom out.

Spike jump at the sound of the voice and look around for the source.

"W-W-WHO’S THERE?!” He shouted.

“Calm yourself young one, this way…” The voice said and a small orb of light poof into existence before him.

Spike watch as it flew down the hallway and stop as if it was waiting for him. Spike didn't like this, but he really did not where to go or do. So, reluctantly, he followed the orb.

Spike watch as the orb moved like a firefly, zipping around as it led him depths of the mysterious castle. The orb enter an room that look neater then hallway, there was six thrones sitting in a row and in one of the thrones was an old pony.

He was wearing heavy white robe, his coat was light-blueish with a long grey beard that stretched down till it nearly touched the floor, along with his equally long mane. The old stallion was a unicorn, his single horn was long and sharp, and it almost reminded him of Princess Celestia’s horn. The old pony slowly opened his eyes and revealed them to be to pools of blue, glowing magical light.

Spike was more worry about this pony then anything. He look like he could pass at any second and he might need someone at his side.

"Come closer child…step forth.” He said, his voice sounding weak.

Spike did, he walk closer before stopping. Something whats up and until he knew, he wasn't getting any closer.

“Who or What are you…?” He asked the unicorn.

“I am he who has stood guard over the ancient magic! The last of Council of Magic, you may refer to me as the Wizard!” He said and his horn let loose bolts of arcing lightning that shot up and thundered loudly.

Spike ducked down, covering his head with his claws, watching each of the lightning streaks to make sure that they weren't going to hit him. When the lightning ended, Spike cautiously rose back to a standing position and stare at the old pony.

“Hey, watch where you’re you letting off that magic lightning stuff, you can seriously hurt somepony! And what the hay is the ‘Rock of Eternity’?!” Spike shouted angrily.

“You are standing in it now young drake, this place is the Rock of Eternity. In it is housed the greatest collection of magical artifacts, knowledge, and history, a fortress of magic, and the very source of the ancient Power.  And it is the Power that I used to forge the spell that summoned you here before me. Now, tell me your name young drake.” The Wizard said.

"It Spike, don't call me "young drake".” He said.

Spike knew drake was another name for dragon, but he never like being call an drake. He also didn't know what to make of this old pony. He looked ancient, and even though he wasn't a unicorn, he could still feel deep down that this pony had a lot of power, maybe even Alicorn level power.

“Hmmm, Spike…hard to believe that my spell brought a dragon before me, given that it has been many millennia since the last time one had been summoned to this place. Still…let us see if you are worthy.” The Wizard said.

"HOLD ON! Why am I here and what are you planning on doing with me?!” Spike lowered himself into an attack position, holding up his claws and moving his left foot against the stone floor as he glared at the Wizard.

“You are quick to judge and prone to violence.” The Wizard said.

"Well, one can't be too careful." Spike said not letting up from his position.

The old pony rose up from his stone throne and slowly walked down the steps leading down to Spike The Wizard stopped when he reached the bottom and looked at the dragon with his eyes of power.

“Show me now, are you worthy of this power?! Are you the one destined to become magic’s champion?!” He said and let loose his magical lightning from his long horn.

The lightning zipped through the air and struck Spike, his eyes glowed blue with the same magical light. He could feel his memories unraveling before him, but he could also sense that the Wizard was seeing them as well.

Images show the chaos that has happen in Equestria, Nightmare Moon's return, Discord being free, A Changeling invasion, A battle that nearly kill another life, an long forgotten enemy returns, Fear everywhere, ponies running for their lives and many more, Spike couldn't name

The images fade and Spike shook his head to clear it.

"What was that for? I never wanted to see those!" He yell.

Spike then look at the Wizard notices he was upset.

“How…why has my magic brought me someone who been through chaos and hides?  This can only lead to disaster…” The Wizard said as he tilted his head to the roof as if seeing into something.

“Is my body so weak now that my spells are becoming distorted?” The Wizard added before looked back down to the dragon.

“I am sorry, it was not my intention to look in your memories. But I had to be sure…” He said to him.

"Well, next time ask me! All that chaos and I didn't do one thing I hate being afraid and help less! I maybe an dragon, but I can't handle Chaos like my friends do!" Spike said still angry.

So, what exactly did you have to be sure of, and again, why did you even bring me here?” he asked afterwords.

"I am old little one, and I sense that there is a great stirring of power. Something that might threaten the world you now live in. For centuries I have held fast and kept the power that the Rock of Eternity possesses from falling into the wrong hooves. But unfortunately, it means that I could not leave it. I was searching for one who had pure goodness inside their heart. An individual who could wield the great power of the ancient magic and defend the world. Someone who could become magic’s champion in my place…” The Wizard explain.

Spike felt sorry for this unicorn. He knew that the Wizard just needed to pass on his powers, but there was one thing that Spike knew, There was never pure goodness around. Every time the "Pure Goodness" got to high, Chaos come crashing down to ruin it.

“So…you thought that I could be ‘magic’s champion’ because I might have pure goodness? There never has been! even time life starts out good, chaos comes raining down on us! There is no pure goodness!" Spike told him.

"Hm, strange the first one I pick 5,000 years ago had pure goodness, but you staying that it no longer exist because of the chaos that keeps stopping it?" The Wizard asked.

Spike nods, even if there was pure goodness all the time, the world will be an boring place. True Chaos is dangerous, but if use the right way it can be helpful.

“Well…I don’t know if it would help, but maybe Princesses would be a good fit? Maybe Luna might fit more then Celestia, she still learning about this time." Spike thought.

“Truly you think highly of these two, but it is the spell that chooses who is worthy, or who has the potential to be. But…I am curious about something. May I ask to take another look into your memories?” The Wizard said then asked.

"Why? You already saw all the chaos that has happen, there no way I'll be the magic champion. Spike said surprise.

"Not this time, I notice that during the time of the Chaos, there was six ponies working together and you know them well. I would like to learn more about them." He said.

Spike give it an thought and nods. He knew his friends took care of the chaos, but he loving hanging out with them.. The unicorn’s horn lit up with the same magical lightning as before, his eyes glowing brightly as he looked down upon him.

"Show me, does this dragon have hope?! Does he possess the sparks of good and righteousness?!” The Wizard asked before firing the spell.

Spike stood still as the spell show the Wizard Spike's friends where then no trouble happen. It show Spike clearing up the Library and Twilight rewarding him for it, him help Applejack get ready for the Apple Family reunion, him helping Fluttershy with her animals when it was too much for the poor pegasus, him helping Rainbow and Pinkie pull some harmless pranks on ponies, but mostly him helping Rarity in her shop. Spike could stop from blush at cutie Rarity look. The last image show all six of his friends together and Spike cheering them on.

The images fade and Spike turn to the Wizard who was smiling happily.

"Are you ok?" He asked.

“Better than okay young one, my search is over. My spell was not wrong; you are different. You can overcome the fear of Chaos and even help your friends with a good heart and with my power, you can protect it.” The Wizard said.

"Wait, what are you saying?! I’m the one you've been looking for after all?!” Spike shouted.

The Wizard nodded an affirmative.

“I…I…I’m no hero, or protector?! Yes I want to keep my friends safe and all…and I do care about the ponies in my life, but…I'm just a young dragon!" He added, not sure how he could protect others.

"You think too less of yourself, Spike. You are a gifted dragon –”  Suddenly, the Wizard looked off into the distance, his face scrunching as if he saw something threatening.

"What? What's wrong?" Spike asked.

“It would seem there is something wrong. A danger looms over your friends." The Wizard said.

"WHAT?!" Spike shouted.

The Wizard’s horn glowed and a portal of light appeared before them. The portal shimmered and wavered until it became still. The texture of the portal started to take on the form of glass, like a mirror. The opening then swirled bringing up the image of all his friends dress in their hero forms and there was one pony that Spike knew.

"Copycat!" He shouted.

TEN MINUTES EARLIER…

Twilight made to the watchtower and flew to where Applejack was using her strength to push the battery in place.

"Hey Applejack. Need an hoof?" Twilight ask and construct an hoof to help push the battery in.

"Thanks Twi, this thing just wouldn't go in. I was letting some of my strength lose so I do break it." Applejack said.

"Glad you show up Twilight." Rainbow Dash as she step out of the shadows.

"I'll never get use to that." Applejack said.

"Rainbow, do you ready need to do that? I get our Batmare, but we're your friends, you don't have to act sneaky." Twilight said.

"Trust me, I trust you, but you can't be too careful this days." Rainbow said.

Twilight had to agree, she turn and saw Rarity float down and with Pinkie rushing up as Fluttershy jumping out the water that was near by.

"Hey girls." She said.

"Hey Twilight glad you made it." Pinkie said zooming around her.

"I never get over you took my title of the fastest pony in Equestria." Rainbow said.

"I'm the fastest earth pony in Equestria Rainbow! Your the fastest pegasus!" Pinkie remind her.

"Still doesn't make me feel better." Rainbow Dash.

"Ok, I'll us my ring to charge the battery and then I got to get Spike, I promise him an tour." Twilight said and turn to make an electric machine when an bat-rang cross in front of her.

Twilight turn to Rainbow who shook her head. She then notices that the bat-rang was silver not black.

"Well, I didn't think I found all my enemies in this piece of hunk." They all heard.

They turn and saw an brown unicorn wearing an black jumpsuit with a red cape and silver armor over it the jumpsuit. They all stood on guard as one of their toughest enemies was in their tower.

"Copycat." Rainbow growl.

"So this is your hideout now? Not bad at all. Let me guess needs the power and it will be running." Copycat said.

"How did you get on the ship, in space while we are at it?" Pinkie ask.

"Hello, I copy your power when I touch you remember?" He said and zoom over to Pinkie.

"I just use Green Lantern's, Super Mare's and your powers all at once." He said and uppercut Pinkie.

Pinkie was fling towards the ceiling and crash through it. Applejack quickly flew up and land an punch that knock Copycat towards the wall. He was able to stop himself and use Pinkie's power to zoom back and then use Applejack's power to punch her though an wall. He dodge Fluttershy's Trident  and round house kick her into the water.

"Too bad we can use your powers Aquamare, there are no sea animals in space." Copycat said.

He was then blast by an jet of water as Fluttershy walk out of it.

"My powers also let me control water too, Copycat." She told him.

"Thanks for reminder." He said and copy Fluttershy's attack.

He dodge an bat-rang and turn to see the other three charging at him. He use Pinkie's power again and kick Rainbow back before former an claw out of will and grab Rarity. He threw Rarity into Fluttershy and was then hit by an green hoof from behind.

"Right, Sorry Green Lantern. I forgot about you for an second." Copy cat said and ran at her.

Twilight quickly place up an shield and Copycat just ran around it. Just as he got close, he was knock away by Applejack. Applejack flew up to him and land punch after punch until she knee him in the chin.

"Agh, I forgot how powerful you are, Super Mare. So how about I try my new toy?" He said and his silver armor turn green.

Applejack was shock and then turn to back away, feeling weak.

"Like it? It my new kryptonite armor. You can't touch me now." He said as Applejack knee to the ground.

"Do worry, I won't kill you, it will be no fun if I do." Copycat said and kick Applejack away.

Then an red blur slam into him, taken him away from Applejack. Pinkie had recover and was ready to fight this time.

"The Flash, a little slow on joining don't ya think?" Copycat ask.

"Maybe, but thanks for the nap, I feel great now!" Pinkie said and ran towards an wall.

Pinkie quickly stop and let Copycat go, causing him to slam into the wall. Copycat pull himself out and fell on the ground. He try to catch his breath as the rest of the Justice League ran up.

"You know, it was hard mastery your powers, but now I can use all of them at once!" Copycat said and fire both an green blast and laser vision at them.

Applejack and Rarity was both knock away and Pinkie hooves was frozen to the ground and try to warm them up but couldn't melt the ice in time.

"Don't try it Flash, This ice is much stronger then Super Mare's. It will at you five years to melt it and 500 years just to melt on it own." He said and back hoof Twilight as she sneak up on him.

He turn to Rainbow who rush at him and threw an punch. Copycat push it aside and using Pinkie speed to get hits back.

"While I can not copy you since you have no powers Batmare, but I can copy your moves and gadgets." He said and use Pinkie's speed to rush at her and  knee her in the gut. He then punch her away and turn to grab Rarity that charge at him.

"You're still cute, but a little too tough for me." He said.

He pick her up with the combine strength of her and Applejack and threw her hard though a few walls until she rest near the one that would have throw in space.

Copycat turn and walk up to Applejack who back off. She was still weak and with the kryptonite around she wasn't going to fight anytime soon.

Spike watch as his friends was being beaten by Copycat. He had to do something, but he had no clue how. Then he remember that Wizard said that he had power. Spike knew he was too old and knew what had to be done.

"“The power you were talking about, can it save my friends?!” Spike asked him.

“Yes, but realize that by me bestowing this power upon you, you carry with it all the power, knowledge, and skill of the ancients. A power that can nary be matched by others and will call upon you to fight against the vilest evils of your world, knowing this, will you accept it?” The Wizard said then asked.

“I will, just tell me what I have to do!” Spike said knowing that Applejack could die if the kryptonite wasn't remove, plus Copycat as all of the Justice League powers.

“You must speak the magic word Spike, say ‘Shazam’.” The Wizard said.

Spike raise an eyebrow, but nods and said, "Shazam!"

“No, you must speak it with your good intentions and righteous fury poured into it. Feel it in your heart and speak the word of power!” The Wizard told him

Spike closed his eyes and concentrated, letting the good memories and feelings fill her heart and the righteous fury burn inside him and give him strength. He then opened them and they were crackle with energy. He raise his head and shouted...

"SHAZAM!!!"

A powerful and massive bolt of lightning shot down from high above Spike. The bolt struck him and empowered every cell, every atom in his body. When it fade, Spike notices everything look smaller and his green mane was in his face. He reach up with his hoof to move before he stop on what he just saw.

A green mane, an hoof? Spike turn to the wall, though it was hard to see, he spotted an purple pony with a green mane. His height was equal to Princess Luna, with large majestic wings, and a long horn protruding from his forehead. He was donned in a red suit, his new hooves in golden ornate that was shape like an lighting bolt, showing his purple hooves. His chest plate had a lightning bolt symbol engraved in it. Within the engraving, it appeared as if the very lightning that transformed him was living within it, almost like a glimpse into the magic that now resided in his soul. Spike’s tail was now an green pony tail, which was now a tad spiky and his mane was long enough to partially cover his right eye. The lightning from his chest arced to his horn, and then to his hooves, traveling along his graceful form as if recognizing its knew wielder.

Spike was completely shock on what he saw.

"What the hay? I'm an Alicorn? Agh!" Spike said, before closing his mouth.

Spike voice had change as well. It was strong like an mountain, but kind like an swan. Spike look over himself some more before turning to the Wizard. He was kneeing on the ground as if he just use all of his power in one go.

"Hey, are you ok?" Spike asked.

“Do not worry about me child, I am most happy…Happy to see that the power of the ancient magic has found one with as good a heart as yours.” He said.

Spike nods and stood up. He felt the new power run though him. It felt great. It was like he could split a mountain in half and not even break a sweat! He look back at the Wizard who stood up.  Spike help him and notices how he weak he was.

"You don't look so good." He said.

“I am simply tired young one, and it is time for this old stallion to rest. Go now and save your friends…farewell, Spike…truly you are a remarkable filly, I am glad to have met you…” The Wizard told him and his horn lit up with magical lightning and before Spike could inquire further, he was struck by his spell, sending him through the portal in the form of pure lightning.

The Wizard sat down in the throne he was in when Spike came. He sat and smile. His eyes grew heavy and they close. His breath left , but his smile remain. He was now at peace.
