The New Power Ponies
chapter 4: finding superheroes for a team
Previous ChapterNext Chaptercontinued from chapter 3.......
Weeks after the battle between me and a evil dragon I stumbled upon many news articles of strange things going on in Maretropolis. I noticed somepony had superpowers and I decided to begin recruiting some heroes to aid me in truth, justice, and freedom.......
But, there was some who did not make it in the tryouts.
First was a little earth pony who mostly played video games and had a power glove that did not even work. The next one was a pegasus who was very clumsy and had muffins for a power. There was even more who did not make it.
But there was some that made it.... The first one was an alicorn who had magic like no other unicorn could harness. Next was a pink pony who was filled with a lot of excitement and had the power to throw an awesome party, another was a country girl who had very good strength and was able to level the ground and is indestructible. Later on I saw a beautiful unicorn who had the power to control minds with her beauty and even turn them into stone, but there were two more left. It was two pegasus who were different. One was a super fast pegasus who was very athletic and the other had a very loud scream, so loud that glass can break.
Afterward I finally had a team and so I begin teaching them about responsibility in their own powers.
"Welcome everypony to The Academy of Gifted Superheroes."
"Ummmm hello, this looks like an abandoned warehouse and where are the teachers." said Rainbow Lightning
" I am the only teacher here. Also I am your leader. "
"Yeah right you look like a little dragon who can't fight crime."
"Please be nice. After all he recruited us." said fluttercry
"As I was saying, I recruited you, because you were very special and I see great power in each of you. So to begin this class we will discuss the topic of being a great superhero. Now we follow the code of "HEROISM." "
"What in the hay does "HEROISM" mean?" said Applejack Hammer
"I'm glad you asked fellow lady."
H is Help those in need, not by desire. This means we help those in danger, not those who want it when they can do it themselves.
E is Everypony on the team must be fair with other teammates. That means we sort out who gets what.
R is Rest when you need it. A good hero needs time to rest in order to keep fighting crime.
O is Only you can use your powers for good. Never use your powers to do bad things that could harm anypony.
I is Identify the situation carefully. Then once you have a plan of action use it.
S is Show mercy. Never kill anypony unless it is an extreme problem.
M is Make friends. Friendship is True Magic and will give you great rewards.
" And there you have it. "
" I think I know how this works. " Said Twilight Sparkler
" Perfect, now then let's move on. "
Afterward I started training them in order to make them real superheroes, but things were very hard by the time I began training them. It was quite a disaster and I couldn't get the point through their heads, so I decided to take them where they can see a true hero in action.
" So why are we at the top of a skyscraper. " Asked Rainbow Lightning.
" It's so I can show you how we heroes take care of the situation. " Said Spike
" Whatever just do it, I'm going to sleep. " As the alarms at the bank go off, this was a good opportunity for Spike to spring into action.
" Now watch as I save the day as a superhero. " Spike then jumps and then he falls says the magic word " SHAZAM. "
Suddenly a strike of lightning hits him and he becomes " The Dragon Demigod. " He then stops the robbery and returns the money to the bank. Afterward he returns to the skyscraper and changes back to normal.
" Let me get this straight. So you become a superhero by saying " Shazam " ? " Asked Rainbow Lightning.
" Indeed. " Said Spike. Afterward I got them in the right shape. Things went perfect as planned. The criminals are in jail, the streets are safe, even everyone is happy and rewards us with tokens of appreciation. Except for one.......
