Fantastic Filly Four

Author's note: The following story is not a product of my own creation and they are a property of Hasbro and Walt Disney/Marvel and they come form the creative minds of Lauren Faust and Stan Lee and Jack Kirby.

Basically my idea is to take a simple, but complex origin of the Avengers comics, from Marvel comics and give it a twist or two to make it fit the Mane 6 and their personalities....I do hope you enjoy this tale as much as I enjoy writing it...

I also ask my reader to guess which Marvel origin belongs with which pony ?

“They were caught unprepared. They barely survived the battle with the changelings, they barely defeated Discord, Face it Celestia, the elements are failures….” stated a voice.

It was an annual council meeting of Cancerlot, the very first one in such a while after the chaotic events of the wedding, and the members of the meeting board were arguing amongst themselves over the failure of the Elements of Harmony, the so-called Defenders of the land of Equestria.

Princess  Celestia, co-ruler of the land and raiser of the sun, knew this moment was coming, but what the council forgot to see was that they were still little ponies trying to learn their place in the world.

Still, Celestia knew that these comments weren’t unsound, because she herself was dealt with severely attacks during both previous attacks on her land and it was just through luck and miracles that they were able to survive.

Still, the people doubted their princess trust in these ponies given their own unique…. “Actions” in the past if it could be described best.

Something had to be done, but what…

Flying was always her favorite thing to do. Just getting away from all the hustle and bustle of everyday life was just  to get away from the troubles and pain that plague her as of late…

After the events of the Royal wedding the Princess called them up to the castle to discuss urgent business. What they got was their early retirement.

“You’re firing us?” she screamed, “But we didn’t sign up for anything like that…”

The Princess tired to explain to the six friends that due to various complains coming from the public of Ponyville and the council of Equestria, it is within the best of the public that the six friends separated for awhile.

Soon after that, the bad stuff started It all started a few weeks ago, when Twilight Sparkle and Spike left on the orders of the Princess to go to some far away land so that they could reign in on their magical balance inside of them.

After Twilight left, a few weeks later Rarity went missing while she was gem hunting within the mountain peaks again, and somehow someway she got capture by those darn Diamond Dogs …again. However, this time they were prepared for Rarity and her loud mouth.

Rarity went missing for almost a week, before she was found in some weird armor.

She’s currently working within her own shop on something major, what it was no pony knew.

Then after that ordeal some weird rock fell from the sky to the Apple family farm and it affected Applejack and her family in a way that sent them all to Cancerlot for treatment and nearly closed up the farm itself.

Then Fluttershy nearly disappeared on them one day while she was with her animals and no pony seen her since then.

Even after all the questions asked and searches she went on, she still came up empty. Throughout it all, Pinkie remained her optimistic self, simply saying to her that their friends will be back someday.

That wasn't enough, if Pinkie couldn’t worry about all this, then she’s out of here. Thus lead to her current flight in the sky hoping to clear her head. She was not currently unaware of the following of a simple pony on a scooter, nor was she not aware of the danger that will soon be upon them both.

The young filly on her scooter was once again following her idol in a pursuit to being her protégé once more. Ever since her friends all near left her, the young filly known as Scootaloo thought that her idol was the only one left for her. With Apple Bloom and her family at Cancerlot, it was only her and Sweetie Belle that was left of the former Cutie Mark Crusaders and it was still difficult with Sweetie’s sister Rarity recent change of actions.

She wonders what was going on with them at this moment….

Sweetie Belle was rushing her way through the former Carousel Boutique, carrying buckets and buckets of crushed diamonds and gems. All for her older sister Rarity who was currently hard at work with her latest project. Still, she had to hand it to her sister; she never knew any pony who worked as hard as Rarity did, especially with what happen to her…

It was just a few days after Twilight Sparkle left Ponyville along with her #1 assistant and Rarity secret crush, Spike. Sweetie Belle wasn’t a foolish filly and knew her sister had some feelings for the young dragon. It was painful for her to see her crying silently during the night they left so much that she barely stopped working the next few days.

It was only after a week or so that Rarity went out to find gems on the mountains again, that Sweetie Belle knew her sister was sort of dealing the pain in her own way.

No pony would realize that the Diamond Dogs were back and that this time they were ready for Rarity and her mouth.

Sticking her with a tough sap and bonding her hooves together, those foul things nearly ran Rarity ragged, at least that was her appearance when Sweetie Belle finally saw her after she was rescued.

Since that day, Rarity was a change pony, no longer was she all about fashion. Now she tried to developed armor. At least some type of protection armor for ponies. Gathering a few books from the Ponyville library, as their replacement librarian wasn’t as fun as Twilight was, Sweetie soon saw her sister learning the ways of metal forging and armor making.

Using the crushed bits of diamonds and gems, she was trying to craft and energy source for her new wear.

As she was told by the doctors, bits and shards of diamond ended up in Rarity’s body during her capture, and her barely survival was due to the metal that she magic-fied to her chest to keep the diamonds in check and able to help her survive.

She was never told how her sister was able to elude her capture’s long enough for her to be rescued, but she figured that the metal she found during that time was able to assist her a bit.

Looking back at her sister’s former workshop, which felt more like a blacksmith pony place than ever, she worried about her sister’s sanity to safety and hopes to Celestia that she would end up alright.
