Chroma Squad: Journey of Red

In the Middle of a dirt road laid a muscular man, his bright red shorts, track shoes, and vest were easy to see if you were looking for him. His blond pulled back short hair and Horseshoe Mustache covered in dirt and mud from the road. He was Roy Tyson. Roy was a former boxer turned stunt actor who moved to Japan from Texas to get better pay.

He had no idea that during his time there with some of his friends that he would join them in making a studio as to make their own superhero show…Chroma Squad. Roy and his friends never dreamed that real aliens would try to invade Earth and they the Chroma Squad was the last defense.

In the end the Chroma Squad defeated the alien villains and saved the world…but that is the past.

. . . .

Roy awoke to the glowing sun shining in his weathered face. He slowly picked himself off the ground while he allowed his eyes to adjust to the light. At first Roy thought he must have gotten drunk with the squad at a local tavern at their vacation restored that were celebrating at and just passed out. However, as his eyes finally focused on the sight before him, it caused an odd mix of awe and fear within the poor man. He was on a dirt road that lead to a city, which anywhere in the world was not an odd thing. However, he stood there as the city before him was beyond amazing. A city with bright glorious colors, and architecture that had no rival was built on the side of a large mountain.

Roy quickly slap himself, and closed his eyes hoping that he was just dreaming. Unfortunately, he opened them to the same sight. He had no idea where he was…

“Flashy, Simon, Diana, Wilma, Tammy! Where are you?!’ Roy yelled to his friends to receive no answer.

Roy found this unnerving as he was now alone in a strange amazing world that seemed to be a slice of an American child’s fantasy story. His focus returned as he thought to something logical.

“Ok…I have no idea where I am, how I got here, and how I can get home…great.” Roy said.

“Wait! Let me try something…” Roy pulled out his communicator and tried to activate it but it had no power. “Damn it! I forgot to charge it!” Roy said as to his surprise a large amount of screaming erupted from the city as if it were under attack.

His thoughts, and feelings of his own situation quickly settled as an old, but powerful thought coursed his mind. People were in trouble, and maybe if he saves them they can help him find out what’s going on.

Roy found his resolve and gave his hopes that his Chroma Powers still worked. He motioned his hand in the air and said. “Teleport!” Roy quickly vanished from sight in a cloud of colorful smoke.

Queen Chrysalis was enjoying her day despite the meddling of that annoying unicorn. Her changelings quickly descended upon Canterlot, and were rounding up the pitiful ponies who oozed with love, and positive emotions that changelings fed on. Her changelings were very hungry, and her duty to her people was the top priority, even if a few ponies suffer because of it. Though she would admit to enjoying the pain they felt.

"Nothing will ruin this wonderful day!" she gloated over the bride standing by the groom as her changelings soon brought back the ponies who were going for the elements of harmony.

The streets of Canterlot were in chaos as the horde of changelings attacked, and encased ponies in quick drying slime for their future feedings. The city guards tried to fight back heroically, but soon joined the citizens in imprisonment. This was a grim time for the city, and soon Equestria.

A family of three who lived in the grand city for almost a year now, were hiding like an animal being hunted down.

"We need to get out of the city while they don't know where here." The stallion in bright green had only one thing on his mind, to get his beloved wife, and daughter away from this madness.

The family soon left their hiding spot, and moved into the alleyways, hoping not to be noticed. However a changeling saw them, and call in backup with a loud screech.

"Move!" The family bolted out of the alleyways, and into the main street in desperation, followed by a squad of changelings on their tails.

Even at full gallop the adults were quickly caught, and slimed, their daughter turned around in fear to see her parents trapped like everypony around her.

"Run!" The parents yelled at their daughter.

She run as fast as she could with tears in her eyes, but soon tripped, and fell down as the changelings came closer and closer, she curled up and sobbed to her parents horror. Then in a flash a rainbow smoke something appeared and rammed the squad of changelings, before they struck the filly, and in a flash knocked the fiends into the sky.

The filly was still crying, she wanted to be home with her family, then she looked up to see the monsters coming at her were gone, and in their place was a large cloud of smoke. Soon the cloud passed and she was amazed, and confused as what she could only describe as a giant appeared.

.                   .                   .                   .

Roy emerged from the smoke seeing the stares of confusion from the capture creatures around him which he could only think of as multicolored ponies, and received lots of looks of rage from the bug monsters, who were now flying towards him. He didn't care, he could tell by the looks of fear on the ponies faces that they were just innocent creatures being terrorized, forced away from their homes.

“If you going to mess with someone…mess with me!” Roy yelled as he got into his boxer fighting stance.

The Changelings charged that the strange creature with great force. However as soon as they were close enough to him, Roy jumped into the air as he spun around. Roy used a move he called ‘Red Tornado’ which created a while wind that sucked the changelings into a spin that then launched them into the air and back on the ground.

           With those changelings out of commission Roy saw that the bugs were protecting the castle of this city. Roy figured if it was like the bad guys on Earth, all he needed to do was take out their leader to get rid of them.

                    With that Roy ran through the streets to the castle all the while gaining the attraction of a lot of changelings following him.

                    “Man, this is like that comic con I went too…freaks following me!” Roy said to himself as he managed to get to the castle past the little bug blockades they had up.

                    Roy followed the sounds of villains laughter to a doorway, however it was guarded by a large group of bugs. Roy had to think fast and he managed to pick up a fallen stone pillar to the surprise of the changelings and threw it at the door. The changelings quickly scattered as the door was busted up for Roy to get inside.

To the surprise of the Chrysalis and several ponies, each as colorful as the ones in the streets Roy had just interrupted a wedding that had got to the bugs. Roy jumped into the air in a spin and landed on the opposed side of the queen.

"Who and what are you to dare challenge me!" Chrysalis said to the strange creature.

Slowly Roy did a little spin and motioned his hands in the air and screamed. “Lights, Camera, Chromatize!” Suddenly in a flash of red light Roy was now wearing a crimson red dragon style jumpsuit and helmet with black marks on the sides similar to a dragon's scales.

"When the forces of darkness attack the weak I am there, In the name of honor this fist shall strike, in the name courage these muscles will not break, In the name of innocence my blood will boil!"

He stomped the ground and in a quick, and flamboyant style, struck a heroic pose while pointing at the Queen.

"Champion of Truth, and Justice, Chroma Red is ready to fight all evil doers!"
