Cutie Mark Crusaders Superheroes Yay!

"Superhero training Commence!" Apple Bloom declared, before dropping a huge box of comics on the tale in front of her two friends. "Where did you even get these?" Scootaloo asked, while Sweetie levitated two comics, reading the titles. "Spike and Big Mac" Apple Bloom shrugged, then handed Scootaloo one, taking one herself. "Now read!" The two did what their leader said.

About five minutes in, Apple Bloom noticed something. "All these superheroes wear costumes," she realized, flicking gingerly through a few of them. "Oh yeah" Sweetie realized. "But why?" Scootaloo, who was in the middle of reading Mare Of Steel." Apple Bloom scanned the pages. "Apparently because it's dangerous for your enemy to know who you are, because they could hurt you and your family" Apple Bloom said, flipping a page. "I guess we're going to need to find some costumes then."

Sweetie stood up. "Come on!" She cried, racing from the house, the other two on her tail. They stopped just outside Carousel Boutique. "Won't your sister notice if we take something?" Apple Bloom asked, frowning. She had been brought up being told that stealing was wrong. "Do you guys remember The Nightmare Night incident?" Sweetie asked, lowering her voice.

"How could ah forget? Scootaloo bringing those fireworks" the two shuddered. "I thought we agreed never to speak of that again!" Scootaloo exclaimed, annoyed. The two others snickered. "Right, well, afterwards, Rarity bought these costume bases, for when our costumes inenivtab- inev- catch fire."

They quietly opened the door, and crawled on their stomachs, before Apple Bloom realized. "Why are we doing this?" She asked, standing up, the other two looked offended, before realizing. "Oh yeah" Sweetie said, blushing slightly, while Scootaloo scratched the back of her head sheepishly. Apple Bloom nosed the door open.

Sweetie strode past the mannequins, which actually looked quite creepy in the setting sun to Apple Bloom and Scootaloo, who weren't using to see headless pony busts with pins in them. The tiny unicorn opened a small door. and the two others followed. "Oh yeah" Scootaloo grinned, looking around.

The room was full of filly sized outfits and costumes. Some were from years earlier(1) while others were for next years. But the one's Sweetie was next to were three, costumes that were more like ninja outfits, they covered everything except for the muzzle and eyes. "Uh . . aren't they a little. . . plain for a superhero costume?" Scootaloo said, noting that they were all white. "Yeah, I thought maybe we could all decorate the-"

"Or. . . Apple Bloom could do it?" Scootaloo interrupted. The earth pony shot her a look, and Scootaloo did a thing with her eyes, which meant SHOW STOPPERS. "Oh, Oh" Apple Bloom smiled. "Ah'll do it, no promblemo!" The three of them were giggling, when they heard a door shut. (2)

"Oh buck" Apple Bloom swore, leaping up and grabbing the costumes, almost tearing them in two with her uncontrollable strength. "I'll distract her, you to go" Sweetie tried to sound like that mare in Mission; Neighpossible, and the other two nodded.

Apple Bloom and Scootaloo climbed out of the nearest window, which was harder than it sounded, as Apple Bloom's strength nearly cracked the wall, and they had to force out all the costumes. "So,dearest sister, what is your plans for today?" Apple Bloom and Scootaloo winced. "Sweetie is a really bad actor" Apple Bloom noticed.

A few seconds later, Sweetie appeared, calling out behind her. "No, me and the crusaders didn't try to renovate your creation room again. (3). Yes,okay,okay Byeeeeee!" She trotted over to them. "I thought she would never stop" she sighed, and fell into step beside them. "So, Apple Bloom" Scootaloo said, turning her attention to the filly between the two of them. "How long do you think it'll take to make these costumes cool?"

The earth filly tapped a hoof to her mouth, thoughtful. "Probably a day, or two" when the others cheered, she frowned at them. "Don't get too excited" she warned. "It may take a while."

It took three days for Apple Bloom to finish making the costumes.Three days! Do you know how long that is in Crusader time? A lot. A lot, a lot.

For three days (4), Apple Bloom excused herself from meetings, and other general Crusaders business that took place. But, on that third day (5) , she led her two bestest friends in the world into their shed, and blushed with pride at the impressed noises they made.

Sweetie's costume was all shades of grey and white. Her hind legs and rump were a dark grey, with a lighter grey patch running up her back. The rest of the outfit was a much lighter grey, almost around the same as her coat. Unlike the others, this had the middle shade of grey going over the horn on the unicorns head. (6) It was simple, but it was very pretty, especially with the dark grey scarf twirled around it's neck, which could be used to cover her muzzle.

Apple Blooms outfit was mostly black; black legs, hind, head, shoulders, but her chest and bottom hooves were a deep, rich red. Around her waist was a yellow belt, and a yellow bracelet was on each of her front hooves. It was simple, yet practical, fitting the filly to a tee.

Scootaloo's costume, on the other hoof, was a whole new level of awesome. It was dark purple, with darker purple boots tipped with silver and grey. The very top of her rump was grey outlined in silver, as was her chest. Her ears were dark grey, and a pair of shining silver goggles hung underneath. "Gift from Twilight" Apple Bloom said, shrugging. "Ah thought it might help with high speeds and all that."

Sweetie looked at Scootaloo's costume and noticed. "Hey, why doesn't Scootaloo's costume have wings?" She asked, and Scootaloo spun around to stare at Apple Bloom. "Yeah, why doesn't mine have wings?" She narrowed her eyes, the universal sign for watch your step. Apple Bloom raised an eyebrow. "Seriously? Let me think?" She sat back, pondering it for a second. "Three tiny mares, possibly fillies. One a Unicorn, one a Pegasus and the other an Earth Pony . . .  . let me thiiiiiiink . . ."

"Okay, but why didn't you do something to Sweetie Belle?" Scootaloo accused. "Because, she has a horn that sticks out of her forehead. How would ya miss that?" Scootaloo conceded the point. "What are you going to do about your accent?" Sweetie asked.

Apple Bloom rose to her full height, which wasn't much. "I 'borrowed' a book from Twilight's Castle" she said, ignoring Sweetie's muttered "and we're supposed to be the good guys,?" and turning it over, letting them see the bold, no nonsense cover. "Rules of a superhero" Scootaloo read. Apple Bloom shrugged. "Must of have been the rulebook for Mysterious Mare Do Well, because it says right here, rule number one, If anypony know's your voice, don't talk." She looked up, and pointed at the outfits. "Let's suit up!" (7)

After pulling on their new outfits, which hid their mane and tails underneath, Apple Bloom turned to her fellow superheroes.

"Ready for this Crusaders?" She asked, striking a dramatic pose. Scootaloo put a hoof out, and the other two piled it on top of hers.

"One,Two,Three CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS SUPERHEROES GO!"

And with that earth shattering, and fear inducing battle cry, our three heroes ran off into the distance
