All Star Stories presents: The heroes of Equestria (The Flash)

After a couple minuets of using his speed to get things done faster than he had ever done before Flash listened to a familiar rush from outside. Darting past every guard he was stopped in an empty open area by a white and gold blur of speed rushing about. It stopped before the stallion; twitching and jolting as it moved slowly about him observing and watching.

"So, you have finally obtained your speed?" It said flatly with a mare's voice.

"How do you mean 'Finally?'" Flash asked taking a half step back.

"I've been waiting Flash." The mare penetratingly said grabbing the stallions consciousness with her voice.

"You met me when I was but a colt. And you said you waited. What does that mean?" Flash inquired getting ready to run.

"I've been chasing speedsters like you for a while now. I have been doing away with the criminals that you have failed to capture or stop. I am Judge, Jury, and Executioner. I Am Godspeed!" The blur declared as it slowed down to reveal a slender, tall, alicorn shaped figure.

"There are more like me?" Flash questioned. What he wanted was information.

"Yes. Many more. But you have the most of what I want. Speed!" She said trowing Flash to the ground. "But you do not have enough of what I want yet." With that the speedster left. After a couple of seconds another blur came darting to the open plaza stopping before the stallion to help him up.

"Are you okay?" The female voice said with a cheerie pop. Flash got a look at her. She was a pink mare with a frizzy mane and a red material over her chest that held a lightning bot upon it. Upon her head was a dome shaped helmet with two golden wings upon it.

"Pinkie?" Flash asked. They had met before a couple of times. She was nice. Flash had become friends with her recently.

"Hi, Flash." The mare said happily. In a few seconds another blur entered the area in a blitz of red lightning and yellow streaks. As it stopped is was the figure of a mare. Or, at least Flash thought it was a mare. She was breathing pretty heavily. The only identification he could make from the mare were two pale grey eyes, a sand coloured muzzle, and crimson mane. After a few second of heavy breathing she rose up in a more recuperated state.

"Sorry Pinkie. I haven't eaten anything all day." The voice of a young stallion said. The yellow speedster was not a mare. "I'm just gonna....pass out if that's okay with you." The stallion fell forward as Flash caught him.

"Wow, he's light." He said pulling him over his back. "Why'd he pass out?"

"If speedsters don't get enough calories they pass out. He'll be fine after a little rest and some food." Pinkie replied.

"Who is he?" Flash inquired. Perhaps he was asking too many questions.

"His name is Professor Zoom." She said happily.

After bringing the stallion to Flash's lab he set him down gently on the empty desk in the corner. "What brings you here pinkie?" Flash asked looking for the protein bars he had left in his office.

"I saw a fast purple thing and i just had to chase it then there was a golden and white thing that moved faster and Professor Zoom was chasing it and I followed him and we ran around Equstria and across an ocean and then we went north and ran around the Crustal Empire for a while and then ended up here. Well not Immediately ended up here. I was a little hungry for cake and I *gasp* wanted some cake so I had some while the Professor chased the white blur for a little then we met up with you." Pinkie elaborated with her notorious rant.

After a few quiet minuets the Professor awoke slowly. He was rubbing his temples with his hooves. "Where am I?" He asked looking about the room. He looked to Flash. "Who's this?"

"My name's Flash." The orange stallion replied.

"Is that your hero Alias?" He quarried.

"Hero Alias?" Flash was not sure what that meant.

"You know. The name you use to cover your Identity. For Example, I'm Professor Zoom." The golden speedster replied.

He already said his name. Might as well use it. "I'm the Flash."

"So am I." Pinkie said bouncing. "Ooo. You can call me Flash I!"

"Where's your suit?" The Professor asked sitting up right. He was even more noticeably mare like.

"It's a little ridiculous to wear a suit isn't it?" Flash said hoping not to wear one of those flashy comic book onsies.

"They're not just for looks, Flash." Zoom added. "It's anti friction material. Not only that, there's a communicator in my logo. I can get you one. Give me a second." Professor Zoom disappeared in a strike of red lightning and returned with a suit that looked exactly like his with inverted colours. "Here. It's fare more advanced than mine. The boots are anti slip material, so running on ice should be easy. You've also got access to all of our communicators, so be careful who you're talking to. Batmare, Supermare, and Green Arrow don't know you yet."

"Thanks..." Flash said hesitantly as he put it on. It fit, with a little effort.

Static an voices began to emanate from Pinkie's helmet. "Hello!" She said jubilantly. "Okay." She turned to Professor Zoom. "I need to go to Maretropolis." Pinkie disappeared in a flash.

"Alrighty then. Down to business, Flash." Professor Zoom said standing up after consuming a strange white material. "You've seen her, haven't you?"

Flash was not sure what exactly he meant by 'you've seen her.' "Seen who?"

"Rush." He said with a stern look.
