Power Ponies: Crisis on Infinite Equestria

Spike finished the comic book and confusingly stared blankly, not knowing what the hell did he just read. He slowly turned his head around to ask for some clarifying explanation from Twilight. As a baby dragon, Spike was always innocent, other than burning out half the Special Agency for Secret Service Association (or SASSY in this case) building in Canterlot, or eating up a whole library in Crystal Empire because they were made up of gems. Power Ponies was the perfect tool to keep him busy and entertained with life so that he wouldn't go depressed on not having a childhood and commiting suicide, however, this time the latest issue has became... Well, an issue, because the structure of the plot was completely off from the original heroes-defeating-villains-and-saving-the-freakin'-day stuff, instead, it was... Romantic to be exact, like how he feels when seeing Rarity everytime. While Twilight was always fascinated with science and knowledges and discoveries and experimenting and studying, she often gets them off reading books, and that definitely includes reading classical literature that can make a dumbo like Daffy Duck into an educated looking banker who seems to understand the law, or read and analyze everypony's movement, motivation and feelings.

"Twilight!" He called out to the mane table in the castle throne room, which Twilight always happened to be in everyday when she got up, usually eating breakfast or reading OR sleeping on her chair in that room... Life as a princess was never easy since she became one: Files to fill out, forms to sign, matters to discuss about everything that's complicated and annoying. To add salt in the water, Twilight herself almost always puts herself into stress, eventually overwhelming her and exhausting her life out. This time, Twilight was eating pancake mixed with waffle and maple syrup, while the appetizer was hay and... Just hay...

"Yes Spike?" The alicorn responded, not ready to expect what's going to come up, she's just going to screw it and take a chance.

"Twilight! Twilight!" Spike continued to call her name, only succeeding in making Twilight roll her eyes in frustration. "I really don't understand what's going on here?"

"What what's going on?" Twilight replied once more, but still a bit tired from last night's checklist to complete. She finished her meal and levitated the dishes to the sink where Spike will wash afterwards.

"It's the new issue of Power Ponies! I don't understand why this is happening?" Spike worriedly answered as he finally reached the throne room.

Twilight stared at him, he stared back waiting for an answer, only to meet with laughter.

"Oh Spike! That's what you're so up about? It's just a fictional comic book! Anything can happen once it's made up from imagination!" She put a hoof in front of her mouth and giggled like a girl who likes to talk about everyone behind their backs.

"Hey! I don't do that!.... Anyways Spike, comic books aren't reality, so there shouldn't be anything bothering you so much."

"It's not that, but I can't seem to understand what's going on in this monthly issue. I just need somepony to help me summarize it."

Twilight rolled her eyes and sighed quietly so that Spike can't hear her, despite seeing that she is sighing. Sometimes her number one assistant can make things ironical when she, a princess who's supposed to need some assist from other ponies, is now assisting her own assistant with assistance, which then reminded her when she received her assistantship as Celestia's student back in Canterlot.

"Fine." She reluctantly accepted with a short groan in the end. She grabbed Issue #69 from Spike's claws with her magic and skimmed it through while saying, "It shouldn't be that bad since it's for little fillies and colts-"

She stopped cold, the whole world exploded, civil wars are just about in every corner in Equestria, high ranked ponies brutally punished themselves and made it as violent as possible before killing themselves violently as possible. Twilight wished she would've took back everything she just said three of her sentences ago. She tried to smile awkwardly, but it still became awkward enough to the point that she didn't even want it to be awkward anymore. Her eyes opened wide, her smile was with her teeth closed shown, but crooked looking as possible. She stopped her magic and dropped the issue, she shook as if she was in Yakyakistan or Sigh Berra's snowy mountains... No. Even worse, deep in Tartarus being frozen within a solid block of never melting ice.

"What. The. Heck. Did. I. Just. Freakin'. Read?" Twilight shakingly spoke, making Spike backing off in fear of Twilight being angered by a simple comic book. Sweat now is pouring down the purple dragon's body, while the lavender alicorn is sweating for a different reason, because her nose is steaming harder than the engine used to run large factories in the city of Industry itself, despite there shouldn't be any factories there.

The mad princess now teleported all over the castle, ran around the throne table three times at least, took a deep breath, and continued running until she didn't feel like it. Spike sighed in relief until he was welcomed by magical fireworks and exploding sparks that can actually hurt somepony, he jumped and ran to take cover. Twilight on the other hand made so much chaos over a comic book that she forgot about her-

"SURPRISE!" As a giant cannon entered the main castle door and fired a shot larger than any of Twilight's magical Sparkles, and vanquished them all somehow. The fired shot from the cannon made a much larger firework while Pinkie Pie took the chance to come in and jump on the distracted alicorn, knocking her onto the floor, and hugging her all over. Twilight did not have the time to react to this "surprise" when she shrugged Pinkie off, until she groaned loudly once the rest of the Six all went up on her and made her go back onto the floor again.

"Okay, what in Equestria is going on here?" Twilight demanded after forcing herself to get back up (and should I say that she didn't exclude the necessity of using magic on her friends by pushing her friends back to the castle doorway? Oooooooh), as she saw the colorful balloons, party hats, a large structure of cake, smells of sweet apples and apple pies planted acres away from the Friendship Rainbow Kingdom Castle, animals whom were all seen nearby the Everfree forest all the time, they were lined up with well made clothes in a little wardrobe enough to be carried and at last: Her friends, all standing by the door smiling happily for the bemused alicorn, each with a present box behind them that is obviously large enough to be seen. Twilight thought what kind of a surprise is that when she knew that the surprise is right there... Hold on, Twilight noticed something was a bit wrong here: Each and every of her friends had a present, all but-

"Rainbow Dash..." Twilight frowned as she looked up at the sky blue pegasus flapping in the air, "Why are you the only pony without anything to bring?"

"Umm..." Rainbow scratched the back of her head with her hoof, "That's because I got the most AWESOME SURPRISE FOR YOU OUT OF EVERYPONY ELSE!" She took out a large present box out of her back somehow and dropped it, knowing that her friend will catch it by surprise. Twilight held it in the air, unwrapped it mannerfully and calmly, and opened the red box. Inside, there was this thick book, colored with brown, while the letters written on the cover was amber yellow. She flipped it through like what she did with Issue #69 and firmly closed it shut.

"Daring Do's Autobiography! OH MY GOSH RAINBOW! Thank you so much! You know I've always wanted to get my hooves on these!" She pulled Rainbow down with her magic (too lazy to fly like always) and pounced onto her, hugging her and to the point of kissing her cheeks. The rest just looked at one another, waiting for the lame moment to go over.

"Umm, Twilight?" Fluttershy spoke up, "I-I actually have the same present for you." She opened her box nicely and gently placed her Daring Do autobiography book down on the floor. Twilight raised an eye, everypony else sighed and followed by Applejack,

"Hate to break it to ya, sugarcube. But Ah just had the same exact idea." She took off her western styled hat and took the same book off her head, placing it on Fluttershy's. Wait, then what was the purpose of the present box?

"I have to agree with Applejack, darling." Rarity levitated her present box over and opened it, took out the copy and placed it onto Applejack's. The three looked at each other in embarrassment, shocked at the same time that they thought of the same thing.

"T-that's okay!" Twilight staggered her voice, and gulped to catch her breath, even more awkward now that there's four exact same presents given to her. She completely forgot the fact that it was her birthday, even when she saw the gifts and party stuffs in her castle. She then whispered, "At least Pinkie Pie seems to have a different idea for-"

"SURPRISE TIMES TWO AND INFINITE ABOVE AND BEYOND!" Pinkie screamed. The same cannon fired a book to Twilight's face, right into her mouth when Twilight couldn't breathe for a few seconds. She needed those brief few seconds of air for life. The book knocked her back onto the floor. With another groan, Twilight got up to see what in the world was that all about, and nearby her, was the ideal gift different from everypony else's...

"Are you KIDDING ME?!" Twilight shouted upwards, enough to echo and cause the birds to flee. "It's the same darn thing!"

"No it's not." Pinkie shook her head. "It's hard cover."

"Ahhh, I see now, it is quite different!" Twilight closed her eyes and was ready to walk back to the throne table until she realized something was wrong.

"What difference does that even make?! And why would you even bring a hard copy?"

"Oh, because hard copies are more expensive by a bit, so I thought that means they are better than the regular ones." Pinkie smiled, only making Twilight sit back in her throne chair and bang her head on the table. The rest of her friends were confused on her frustration, and all followed to sit in their original chairs bearing their cutie marks.

"Cheer up Twilight!" Rainbow Dash encouraged, "It's your birthday after all!"

The others nodded, even Spike, who was mainly thinking about what he read today about Issue #69.

"Yea yea, my birthd-... MY BIRTHDAY?!" Twilight exclaimed, she began teleporting all over the place again, ran around the throne table at least five times, popped out of somewhere near all of her friends on the other five chairs, and finally teleported back to hers. She took a breath, put her hoof at her chest and swayed it outwards as she exhaled, just like how her former foal sitter Princess Cadence taught her to do when things go out of control.

"Well, forget the presents! Lets just have a nice time..." She looked at Pinkie, who seems to be making more shapes out of balloons. "... And a Grand Galloping Party!"

Her friends cheered, but then Twilight raised a hoof to hush them. "But before all that, Spike has a little problem with today's new Issue of the Power Ponies." Before anypony has a chance to respond with jokes or laugh at the matter, the alicorn levitated Issue #69 up from the crystal made floor and slammed it hard onto the table with her hoof.

"Ow! That does hurt!" Twilight then took out her checklist of Experimental Hypothesis of My New Castle. “Testing the hardness of the throne table, check!" Her friends rolled their eyes as she checked it in her box, Spike simply shrugged because he's used seeing this just about everyday.

"Girls, do you know what type of audience Power Ponies is aimed at?" Twilight asked sternly after putting her checklist away, she was already a general of the Royal Guards with her tone and her grim expression. What's worse is that more than half of the ponies don't even read Power Ponies and aren't even sure what's going on. The closest was probably Rainbow Dash, who had read Daring Do often, plus she had been a bit interacted with superhero stuffs before, so she pretty much has a general idea.

"Well sugarcube, consider the fact that it's superheroes savin' the day all the time, and there's a lot of fightin' goin' on. Ah'd say it's rated M for mature." Applejack said it in such an intelligent voice that nopony even agreed to listen, because it's one of the stupidest things she has ever said. They all stared at the farming mare, who once was Mistress Marevelous herself back in Season 4. Applejack's face went red, like Marevelous, and like Marevelous, her shame has gotten to the core of her soul.

"Ugh fine! Ah don't read books anyways! Ah don't got no time for that when there's labor twenty four seven!" While her friends shook their heads and stopped staring at her, Twilight however was on the edge of erupting when a supervolcano has been aroused after a thousand years when Luna turned into Nightmare Moon and was banished. She furiously glared at Applejack, who seemed to be a little timid when she looked into the alicorn's eyes, the orange earth pony's green eyes really described fear.

"Um, Twi?" She bravely asked, "Why are you lookin' at me funn-"

Twilight hovered Applejack into the air, then harshly pulled the country gal down like the gravity in Jupiter up to her face. Twilight bared her teeth, and hardly nose to nose pressed against her (this looks familiar).

"I. Don't. Want. To hear anymore of those. Accursed double negatives. AGAIN! You hear me?" Applejack can only nod in mercy, while Twilight's flames and sparkling hot auras faded, she let out this big phony smile that injected more fear into Applejack as she teleported her back to her throne chair.

"Now," She slapped her front hooves together. "It says here on the issue itself, is rated T for teen, and rated F for foals. They never mentioned anything about 'mature' or E for everypony—" Everypony including Spike glared at Applejack for saying something that stupid before, Applejack can only bend her head down in disgrace. Twilight then continued,

"—Because it's about friendly looking superheroes who dress funny and constanly save the day with a good ending, or a two part story with an obvious cliffhanger and then the heroes save the day again. There is no violence, no deaths and no blood. In conclusion, this has to be made for foals and younger generations like the CMC's."

"Although I did find many fan made comics online that made Power Ponies TOOOOO-TALLY different! There's intercourse, backstabbing, graphical pornography..." Pinkie interrupted before Twilight can move on to her next sentence.

"Pinkie, those are fan based fictions, they don't count as part of the official comic that was made from DC and Marevel." Twilight then counted how many issues of Power Ponies were made so far since the first release. Right... Issue #69 is the latest.

"It's like how humans from the other world I went into twice, we are actually fictional characters of the franchise "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic", and they even created this crazy website called "FiMFiction" for their fan based people called "bronies", which are made mostly fat and drunk male people, so they can make up whatever they feel like about us."

"We are not... real...?" Fluttershy wimpered, and cried on the table, Rarity went to comfort her and rubbed her pink hair and yellow face.

"Well, not in their world, because somehow coincidentally they made us up while in reality we are real in another dimension: Here. In their world, we're not even the first ponies. There were three darn generations before us, and the humans even had themselves interacting with those fat and chubby looking ponies in the show. Tirek was actually one of those villains that got killed in the first generation!"

"Wait, so we are basically ponies inspired from made up ponies from a previous generation? And they weren't even real?" Rainbow Dash asked in curiosity, for the first time she actually was curious in Twilight's lectures.

"I wouldn't be certain of that Rainbow, those previous generation ponies are probably also living in another dimension right now. The thing is, how did the humans even think of us at first place? Is there a possibility that all of us no matter how far or impossible to communicate, are connected together? This is soooo exciting! I want to research about this right now!" Twilight got off her chair and danced around the table, leaping and hopping. She can't dance...

"There are soooo many fan fiction stories about us!" Pinkie told the group, "Such as how Applejack constanly got a broken life because her parents died-"

"Wait wha'? They ain't dead! Ma and Pa moved far away to North Cornya when Ah was a filly (yes it is a corny country). They just don' feel like writin' to me much because they are darn lazy!"

"Or Rainbow Dash losing her reputation and all those sad things, always making her look helpless and feminine. She's always the pony to die when there's something about losing a friend!" Pinkie continued

"Why would they make me so weak and overrated?" Rainbow complained, "Perhaps I'm just too awesome!" She then flew up and made a small stunt, which nopony even bothered to look at.

"Or Twilight having these funny moments when truth don't agree with her science! Then she goes cookoo crazy!"

"Ugh Pinkie! That actually happens all the time!" Twilight broke, "I'm not perfect or whatsoever."

"OOOOH! I love Fluttershy shipping stories! Always about her being romantic with other characters! I never knew Fluttershy can be suuuuuch a slutty pony/human deep down!"

"Wait... N-no... Please! That isn't me!" Fluttershy began to cry again, upset with all those fake stories made up about her being romantic, despite she loves romantic stories, she's never experienced it herself.

"Fluttershy, darling!" Rarity tried to calm the yellow pegasus down. "You know those are undeniably made up, awful stories! I wish I can be in romantic stories and win that stallion's heart!" She ambitiously smiled and asked Pinkie, "Pinkie Pie, do you know any stories about me?"

"Gee, sorry Rarity! I guess you're the least popular out of us six! Barely anybrony wrote anything about you other than a few funny romantic ones where you screw yourself up all the time! Or at least you being annoying (as usual) in general."

"HMPH! They are just jealous because they don't understand my style, my elegance, my nobility, my grace, my charm, my beauty, and my generousity!"

"Nopony actually understands..." Applejack commented, only to be levitated up by Rarity and pulled her down against Rarity's nose, then threw her back to her throne chair with a THUD.

"Hold on, how did you even know all this?" Twilight asked Pinkie Pie, who simply shrugged and replied,

"Just my hypothetical guess." She winked an eye to the lavender alicorn, who just shrugged back.

"A-a-anyways," Twilight inhaled and exhaled slowly, trying to forget what those bronies's messed up minds were thinking. "Back in Season Four episode Six (ha get it?), when we were sucked into the actual Power Ponies comic book. The tornado Rainbow Dash as Zapp created could've killed many ponies, and even injure us severly-"

"Hey! I wasn't that evil!"

"Rainbow I never said you were, I was just describing what could've happened to us, but instead the comic made everything seem less violent, because the tornado was only on the streets instead of going in random directions. Nothing bad happened to us, no blood, no scratches, nothing! Or when Fluttershy, Saddle Rager in this case, could've killed Mane-iac or at least her henchponies, but she only took the anger on the doomsday device."

*Sniff sniff* Fluttershy sobbed and cried once again on the table, tears overflowing everywhere.

"Yes yes I know, you did it for the little firefly..." Twilight rolled her eyes exaggeratedly. "So even through reading the comic and observing the author's choices. Those evidences, prove that Power Ponies is for kids."

Her friends nodded in agreement, even Fluttershy, who was not looking up and crying still.

"But what is THIS?!" Twilight's voice shot up as she flipped to the page where she froze earlier, which is obviously after Issue #69 should've been done already. She levitated the comic book and pointlessly slammed it down again (with her magic of course), and then everypony gasped dramatically.

"Oooh! I love stories like this!" Rarity giggled, and leaned closer to the comic book. Twilight frowned in disgust and moved the comic slightly away from her.

"What. Exactly. Is. WRONG WITH DC AND MAREVEL?! Their collabrations are getting dirtier and dirtier! What's even more stupid is that why would they even wait until the 69th issue to show this? To add on, it has nothing to do with the 69 joke!" Twilight exclaimed, "Do they not know this is not appropriate to their level, not even teens are supposed to read things like this..." She sighed, "... Even they still try to do so..."

"Gee Twi, Ah never thought superheroes would do somethin' tis super before. Ah have intentions of makin' out with some stallions in the Wild West."

"Yes, exactly! I mean-"

"Wait WHAT?!" Rainbow Dash interrupted, still in midair, "You are dating a stallion?!"

"Well, Ah wouldn't exactly call it datin', but more of something like what's goin' on in Issue #69 right now... Get it?" Applejack smiled, only to be thrown into a wall by Twilight.

"ANYWAYS..." Twilight growled after being interrupted rudely, "I think we should sue the compan- WAIT YOU'RE DATING A STALLION?!"

"Oh my Celestia..." Rainbow Dash stumbled and dropped back onto the floor. Everypony else including Spike shook their heads.

"Anyways..." Twilight refocused back on track. "I think we should sue the company for leaving such bad image on our next generations."

"And why do you think that even matters?" Rarity asked, checking the lust on her hooves left by the crystal floor.

"Because the next generations will show no discipline! And if that happens, they would not run Equestria as well as before! And if that happens, Equestria will be devastated! Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, and Cadance, and I..." She sobbed because there's something she just didn't want to over think on, but nevertheless resumed her tone. "... can't afford to carry the rest of Equestria on our hunches!"

"Twilight calm down!" Rainbow Dash said as she got back up to her hooves, "Since you said teenage ponies like to seek out for this kind of immature garbage, maybe Marevel and DC knew it all along and decided to make these scenes in order to center it just for them."

"But it is still wrong to do so!" Twilight did not calm down, and was even louder than before. "And what about the young filles and colts?!"

"Ya know sugarcube," Applejack recovered from her head collision against the crystal wall and walked back to the throne table, sat on her chair. "Just because you think is wrong, doesn't mean that it is wrong."

"Applejack..." Twilight turned her anger onto the orange mare. "You are really ticking me today... Do you not understand what "wrong" means?!"

Everypony (especially Fluttershy) is getting a bit scared of the heated argument and Twilight's rant, they backed off from the table and sat back in their chairs... Well everypony but Pinkie, who seems to be bouncing around like she doesn't care at all. Applejack held her ground like last time when she was threatened to sell off her land against Flim & Flam's cousins: Pick and Dig (with the "g" sound pronouced as "k")

"Listen Twi', just because science and facts are relevant and all, doesn't mean that ponies don't have a personal view on what is "wrong". That's not what Ah'm concerned 'bout, tis' just that: You are overreacting about this, you don't even read the series yourself, so why bother so much?"

"Didn't you hear what I just said?! If this goes on, the next generation will be turned into mash potatoes of disharmony!"

"Oooh! Oooh! I looooooove mash potatoes! Their yellow cream color like Fluttershy! It was DE-licious! Just like Grape Soda Hay Cake!" Pinkie went on and on and on with her stupid looking cake (oh you should've seen it, it was a bottle shaped cake with grape juice poured over it).

"Grape Soda Hay Cake...?" Twilight turned around, completely caught off guard with her heated argument with Applejack.

"Yeah Twilight! We got the grape juice's color from your skin, it's lavender!"

Twilight flashed back to memory mode, where she saw when she was at the Spa, and when those Spa ponies massaged her, they held a small device which absorbs the color of a pony's skin...

“Wait... YOU PLANNED THAT?!" Twilight exclaimed to Pinkie.

"Well yeah!" Pinkie repeated, "How else?" And continued to bounce around the table.

"Ugh geez!" Twilight exhaled from her nose, and turned back to Applejack. "Well Applejack, do you get what I'm trying to do here? SAVING EQUESTRIA FROM DISASTER!"

"Do you get wha' AH'M trying to do here?" Applejack mimicked Twilight's expression and speech, "SAVING YOU FROM CORRUPTION! Like last ga' darn time when you were driven mad by that silly little friendship letter when ya didn' even have a deadline!"

"Okay, that was crazy, but it has nothing to do with what's going on here!" Twilight fumed, "#69 is an ISSUE!"

"I thought it is an issue..." Fluttershy whispered, but still heard by the angry buffalo mode Twilight, who turned around and glared at her. The pink haired pegasus hid behind Rarity, who is also a bit frightened by Twilight's anger still.
