Chapters Elements of heroism spinoff: Season one: Beginnings
It was a beautiful spring day in Ponyville. And it just so happens, on this day, that There were 3 people, all the same age, plotting.
"How are we going to Convince Burst to let us be elements of heroism and go on missions with them?" The orange-skinned one, Known as Shining Spoon, asked.
"We have to prove ourselves somehow." The blue skinned one, known as Bolt Dash, Replied.
"How do we do that? We don't have cool Duelist Arms like the rest of them!" The white skinned one, Bright Star, exclaimed.
"Wait! I think I might have an idea! You know how Burst's dad trained him, right? Well, what if we get Burst's dad to train us too!" Shining said excitedly.
"Would he do it though?" Bright asked.
"You don't know unless you try! Let's go!"
Canterlot...
Aether Stream was enjoying relaxing, when he heard a knock at the door. "Who could that be?" He asked himself as he answered the door.
"Hello Mr. Aether! You're Burst's Dad, Right?" Shining asked.
"Indeed I am. Would you three like to come in?" Aether asked the 3.
"That would be nice, thank you." Bright replied.
"So what brings you 3 here?"Aether asked.
"Well, We're big fans of Burst, and we want to show him that we're worthy of being in the elements of heroism." Bolt answered.
"Hm. I see." Aether responded.
"And we were wondering, if you'd train us to fight like you did Burst? Please?" Shining asked.
"It would be a lot of work. and once we start, you can't back out. Are you sure you would be ready for that?" Aether Said.
The boys thought for a moment, before Bolt said "Yes. We are." The other two nodded.
"Alright then. We begin tomorrow at 6am"
The Next Day: 5:30 AM.......
Shining woke with a start, only fully waking up with the ringing of his phone.
"Hello?" Shining Answered, groggily.
"Hey! Wake up! meet us in the town square!" The voice of Bolt Dash came from the other end. "we've got work to do!"
"Oh Yeah! That's right! Be right there! See you in a sec!" Shining said as he hung up the phone. Shining got dressed, ate, and was out the door in a speed Rainbow Dash would be jealous of.
"Good thing I live near The town square!" Shining said as he ran out the door. Shining was dodging ponies left and right, swiftly apoligizing everyone he cut off. In about 3 minutes, he was there.
"Well it's about time you showed up!" Bolt Dash joked. "Let's go!"
"How Are we gonna get there in time? When we took the train, it took an hour! we only have a few minutes!" Bright Star Asked.
"I already planned that. In 3..." Shining Started.
"What?" Bolt asked.
"2... "
"What are you doing Shining?" Bright Added.
"1..."
"Someone need a ride?" Discord asked, popping out of nowhere.
"I totally called it." Shining replied, before saying, " Could you take us to Burst's Dad's house?"
"Sure, kids. hop on." Discord answered, as he apparated the four of them into canterlot city, directly at the front door of Aether's house. "Thanks Discord! Same time tomorrow?" Shining said as he handed 4 bits to discord.
"Absolutely. Now I'm going to go spend these on some coffee." Discord said as he left the three alone.
Bright star could barely knock before Aether was at the door. "Morning boys! Ready for your first day of training?"
Somehow, all three said simultaneously, "You know we are!"
"Excellent. then let's get started. Follow me. This training will take some time to get used to, but at the end of the next 4 years, you won't regret it." Aether Said.
"we won't let you down sir." Bolt replied.
Day one
"alright everyone, try taking out these training dummies" Aether ordered. Shining was up first. As if it was a real enemy, he slid underneath it, and jabbed at it from behind. "Not bad Shining, that was a very creative way to take the dummy out. Bolt, you're next." Bolt Ran up, and delivered fast, strong punches directly to the head of the dummy. "Wow, You sure did that fast. excellent zeal. Bright, you're last." Bright took a more conservative approach. He punched once, moved around, and punched as he moved. "You seem like the one who would try to find a resolution first."
Day 100
Bolt Ran up to the dummy, and took it out in one blow. Shining got around and Knocked it's head off. Bright took it out by Knocking it down with his feet.
"You three are Learning Very Fast. I thought it might be time to try weapons. For Shining, you get armor with a gauntlet that can launch and ensnare it's targets with rope. Bolt, you get armor that causes you to move faster than your opponent. Along with this, you get a sword. Bright, you get armor with a visor that can tell you what your opponent can do, and how to replicate it. you also get a blaster. Now you just need the training."
Day 1400
Shining launched his Gauntlet's rope at the dummy, ensnaring it, before pulling, and cutting the dummy into pieces. Bright spun circles around his dummy, and slashed at it from every angle. Bright's scanner went off, and notified him of the dummy's abilities. No abilities. Bright shot a ball of light at the dummy, leaving a hole in the middle.
"Good job boys. Come take a break." Aether said as he brought out some lemonade. "There's only two months left in your training. You've all come so far."
"Indeed." said a voice from nowhere. But Aether recognized it. "Starswirl the Bearded." He said.
"well, his spirit actually. but yes, I suppose so. I've been watching the three of you train under my friend, Aether. I'm quite impressed. This is why I've decided to power your Weapons and armor fully." Starswirl Said.
"Power our weapons fully? What does that mean?" Shining asked. Just then, a ball of light encased the CMCB and Starswirl's spirit.
"Your Weapons, when in the right hands, hold the spirit of dragons. Shining, Your Armor represents the Dark Rebellion Dragon. Your armor, when ensnaring opponents, takes half of their life energy, and transfers it to you." Shining's armor started glowing, changing colors to purple and black.
"Bright, Your armor represents the Starving Venom Dragon, not only does it scan your opponent, it gives you whatever power your opponent has. Temporarily, of course. " Bright's armor glowed, and turned Purple and red.
"Bolt, Your Armor is modeled after the Clear Wing Dragon. not only does it allow you be extremely agile, it allows you to jump extremely high, faster than flying could."Bolt's armor glowed, as it turned white and green.
"You three now have your own duelist arms. With that, you are now Elements of heroism. Shining, the way you battle is like none before you. Therefore, I dub you the element of creativity." Starswirl Said.
"Thank You." Shining replied.
"Bright, you would rather talk it out than fight. You are hereby known as the element of Resolution."
"Thank you, Starswirl." Bright Said.
"And finally, Bolt. You're always ready to fight to protect who you love. I hereby Name you, the element of zeal."
"Thank you Starswirl." Bright said.
"Now, I must take my leave. Goodbye Children. I will continue to watch over you."
And just like that, the three returned from the ball of light, each sporting dragon wings, and each having a colored aura around their hands. Aether didn't even seemed phased when they returned, however.
"You boys are ready. Your training is complete. With this power, you're ready for whatever the world throws at you. Now? I'd suggest going to see burst. He's going to love this."
"Thank you for the training over the years Aether. We truly appreciate it." Shining Thanked. "But we should go now. We have a lot to explain to our families. goodbye."
"Goodbye my friends."
Burst was in the everfree forest training, when he saw a blur of White and green pass by him. "Whose there?" Burst asked.
"it's just us Burst! Shining, Bright, and Bolt? We're kinda avatars now." Shining Said.
"And We have duelist arms!" Bolt exclaimed.
"And Starswirl the bearded gave us elements of heroism!" Bright finished.
"Wow. Starswirl the Bearded huh? You three must be something special. Good job. Welcome to the team."
Somewhere...
"Soon, I will capture all of the princesses, and those pesky elements of heroism too. I will reclaim what my Mother had taken away! AHAHAHAHA!"
Elements of heroism spinoff: Season one: Beginnings
"Alright, let's send these as a distraction, so I can move in and strike." A figure said, a hologram showing a picture of a giant troll in front of her. "Soon I will be the queen of equestria! Just like my mother deserved." She said.
It was just a normal, peaceful day in Ponyville. Not a cloud in the sky, and the elements of heroism were enjoying a breakfast to celebrate the three newest members of the group.
"We're glad to be here, everyone. Thanks for the breakfast and the party." Shining said.
"You deserve it guys! congrats!" Burst replied. just then, a loud BOOM resonated from the town centre.
"You guys wanna try this one? we'll be right there behind you." Inferno asked.
"You know it! let's go!" Bolt exclaimed.
"Our first official fight! sweet!" Shining added.
In the town centre, a giant troll was on a rampage! destroying buildings, swinging it's club, and causing mayhem!
"Let's go guys!" Shining said.
"A-are you sure about this, guys? that thing is really big!" Bright asked.
"Well, you know what they say! The bigger they are, the harder they fall! Let's go!" Bolt Yelled excitedly. "Let's do this! It's morphing time!"
"A power Rangers reference? now of all times?" Shining Asked. "Dude."
'Whatever! let's just go fight!" And with a flash of light, the boys were in their dragon armor.
"Time to dance! Hey ugly! Over here!" Bolt yelled at the troll. The Troll let out a menacing roar, and Swung it's club directly at bolt! But before it could finish it's attack, Shining Used his gauntlet to tie up the troll, and absorb his energy! With the Troll Tied up, Bolt and Bright wasted no time in attacking the troll! Bolt was slashing at the troll's body left and right, and Bright was Blastings Orb's of energy at the troll's face!
"Hurry up guys, I can't hold him much longer!" Shining called out.
There has to be a weak spot somewhere... Time to test out my new abilites! Bolt thought, as he pressed the button on the side of his helmet, showing his opponent's info.
Weak spot, weak spot, oh! here it is!
"Bright! Shoot his chest! It's his weak spot!" Bolt yelled.
With that little bit of information, the three managed to destroy the troll, Shining Pulling the Strings on his gauntlet, dissipating the troll to dust.
Meanwhile, as the CMCB were fighting the troll, The rest of the elements of heroism and harmony were too distracted, that when a magic sealing net covered them, it was too late.
"Nice job guys! We did great for our first battle! Let's go see what everyone else thought! Wait, where is everyone?" Shining asked, looking around for Burst and the guys.
"Hmm? what's this?"Bright thought out loud, as he flew over to a piece of paper he saw on the ground.
Dear Shining Spoon, Bright Star, and Bolt Dash,
I'm impressed you took out my troll! Not really, it was just a distraction.
I Have taken your Friends, and The Princesses. If you wish to save them, Come to the castle of the two sisters at dawn.
Sincerely,
The soon to be queen of Equestria.
"Queen of equestria?" Bolt asked.
"We have to save them!" Bright Exclaimed.
"Whoever this is... We'll be ready!" Shining Finished.
castle of the two sisters...
"Let us go you jerk!" Rainbow dash yelled.
"Oh no, I'm a jerk? My feelings are hurt!" The Mystery character said, as she stepped out of the shadows.
"At least tell us yer name before you kill us!" Applejack Butted in.
"Oh, I have no intentions of killing you. But i suppose I owe you to at least tell you my name. I am known as Fury. And if your little friends show up, they will soon find out why." Fury said as she stepped out of the shadows. Fury had purple skin, and dark red eyes. Her hair was also bright red, and was styled similar to luna from Yugioh 5D's.
"Why are you doing this? It doesn't have to be this way!" Luna tried reasoning with Fury, but it didn't work.
"Because I deserve to been queen of equestria! My grandmother, Rage Flurry, was too, until YOU TWO took it away!" Rage Shouted.
Celestia and Luna gasped, hearing the name Rage Flurry. "Child, please understand, we sent your grandmother to Tartarus because we HAD to! she would've destroyed all of equestria and beyond if we didn't!" Celestia explained.
"AND WHY SHOULD I BELIEVE YOU?" Fury screamed. "YOU'RE THE REASON I HAVE NOBODY!"
"Woah. this girl has some issues." Rainbow Dash said, earning a smack in the back of the head from Rarity.
"I'll be back later. Oh, and don't even bother trying to escape. that cage is completely magic proof. it can only be opened from the outside. Have fun!" Fury said, exiting the room the cage was in.
A few hours later...
"Alright discord, if we get too badly hurt, teleport us out." Shining Explained, just in front of the Castle of the Two sisters.
"Got it. I'll hide in the shadows." Discord said as he used a camouflage spell.
"Alright! let's go save our friends!" Bolt said as he charged in to the castle, the other two not far behind.
"So you came. You are either very brave, or very foolish. I am the one known as Fury. Or the future queen of equestria." Fury stated.
"Let our friends go Right now!" Bolt yelled.
"My, My, such a temper. But no. I will not let your friends go."
"Then We'll make you!" Bolt yelled as he charged at Fury.
"You're funny!" Fury said as, with one swipe, Bolt was knocked to the floor. "He's alive, just knocked out. Who's next then?"
"Me!" Bright yelled as he Super-Speeded towards Fury, swinging his sword. "This'll teach you to knock out my friend!" He said, spinning around fury, slashing at all angles. That lasted all of 10 seconds, before fury knocked him out as well. "He actually did some damage. Your turn!"
"You almost killed my friends." Shining said as he stepped forward. "You almost killed my friends." He repeated. suddenly, he looked up. "RAAAAAUUUGGGGHHH!!! I'LL KILL YOU!" Shining yelled. He shot his Gauntlet's strings, ensnaring Fury, before he absorbed her power. "TIME TO FINISH THIS OFF!" He yelled as he blasted at Fury.
"I agree fully. time to end this." Fury said as with little effort, she broke free of the restraints, and sent a shockwave of energy at Shining! "This wasn't even a quarter of my true power. I'll make this quick and painless for you." Just as Fury was about to finish the job, Discord appeared out of the shadows.
"Sorry, but you won't be doing that. Not really in my schedule." Discord said as he teleported the boys closer to him. "They'll be back. better than ever. be prepared." Were his last words as he teleported the boys and himself. "Here we are. Rest easy boys, Tomorrow, we train to beat her." He said.

So, any thoughts on where discord took them?
Elements of heroism spinoff: Season one: Beginnings
"ugh... what happened? Why do I have this splitting headache? Where am I?" Shining asked to himself, as he woke up.
"About time you woke up." Bolt Replied.
"Discord! He's awake! And I think he needs an explanation!" Bright Called out.
"Be right there! Just finishing breakfast!" Discord said, and with a poof, he appeared in front of the three, in all of his glory, plus an apron, an extra arm, and holding three plates, with bacon, eggs, and toast on them. "Here. eat up. you need your energy."
"Thanks." Shining said, taking the plate from discord's inconspicuous 3rd arm, which proceeded to disappear. "So... what happened?"
"We got our butts handed to us by Fury." Bolt deadpanned, before shoving a bite of eggs into his mouth.
"Indeed. And before she could destroy you three altogether, I brought you to my home." Discord explained. "I'm going to teach you in the ways of chaos, so you can finish that family line off, once and for all."
"Why do you need them destroyed?" Shining Questioned.
"Let's just call it... a personal grudge." Discord replied. "But anyways, I'm going to train you, and to do that, you're going to be dimensional heroes."
"What?" Bright piped up. "how are we doing that?"
"I'm a literal god of chaos. You think I can't hop dimensions?" Discord rhetorically asked.
"Touche."
"So..." Shining started. " When do we start being heroes and training?"
"As soon as we're done the food." Discord answered.
"Alright."
One Breakfast Later...
"Alright. First stop, Equestria." Discord Stated.
"What? We're in equestria!" Shining realized.
"An alternate equestria, where everything is the same, but everyone is a horse." Discord answered.
"... That'd make a great children's cartoon." Bolt said, before the four teleported to Equestria (horse world).
"Wait... Why are we still humans?" Bright asked.
How would you train to fight as humans.. if you were ponies?" Discord answered.
"Fair enough." The three boys said in unison.
Suddenly, in the distance, a large BOOM sounded, followed by the screams of Hu-Ahem-Ponies.
"That's your cue, boys. Have at it." Discord said, before teleporting elsewhere. When they got to the source of the panic, they saw that a giant dragon was rampaging around the city.
"Let's dance. This'll be fun." Bolt said.
"Wait! let me try to reason with it first!" Bright Yelled.
"Fiiiiiiiiiine..."
"Thank you. I'll be back." Bright said, as he flew up to the dragon's face. "Hey! Dragon! Why are you terrorizing this town?" he only got a roar in response. "Fine then. Guys? Let's Kick some butt, and take some names!"
"Gladly." Bolt's face broke into a grin, before he charged at the dragon, slashing with his sword, literally running circles around the dragon.
"Alright, let's see what you can do mister dragon." Bright said, before activating his visor, and scanning the dragon.
Dragon
Homeland: Equestria (Pony form)
Slow, but powerful.
Abilites:
Mimic Abilities?
Bright clicked the 'Yes' Button on his visor, and one hand turned into a claw made of pure energy, and the other arm, his blaster shot out a flame.
"Alright. Let's dance." Bright said, before joining the battle.
"Just me huh? Alright, let's take some power, and join the hunt." Shining said. as he did, he shot out his Shock-Claw gauntlet, and Absorbed the dragon's power!
"Alright. Let's dance." He finished, before joining the fight.
The battle was on, with Shining flying up in the sky, and jetting down, to deliver a devastating kick the the back of the dragon's head! Followed by Bolt slashing at the dragons body at Hyperspeed, and Bright shooting at the dragon's neck! with the combined effort, the three took the dragon down!
"Nice job guys. Hey discord! We beat it!" Shining yelled out. As he did this, Discord popped in front of them, clapping. 'Bravo, boys. Now that i've seen what you can do, I need to see more. you're going to do it again, but without your powers. only your weapons."
"WHAT?! WE CAN'T DO THAT!" Bright yelled.
"But you're going to try. I need to see if you can handle chaos magic training." Discord argued.
"C'mon Bright! we got this!" Shining said. "alright discord. we'll do it."
"Okay. One Dragon, coming up!" Discord said. With a snap of his fingers, a dragon appeared, the same as the first.
"Alright guys, let's do it!" And without their suits, the boys ran up to the dragon, Swords and blasters at the ready. With that, they were off (on foot). Shining was swinging at the dragons underbelly, and Bright was (Again) Shooting bolts of energy at the neck, While Bolt was Distracting the dragon in front of him. That is until the dragon swiped at bolt. but before the dragon could, Shining shot a shield spell towards Bolt, protecting him.
"Thanks Shining!" Bolt yelled.
"Anytime!" Shining yelled back.
"alright guys, I have an idea! let's try something! come here!" Bright yelled, to the agreement of Bolt and Shining.
"Okay, I'm going to charge up a shot. You two enchant your swords with your magic. When I shoot, Slash at the energy ball! If i'm right, it;ll deal massive damage!" Bright explained.
"Alright. Let's try this." shining agreed, as he charged up his sword.
"Okay." Bolt added, doing the same.
"Alright... NOW!" Bright said, shooting off the Energy, With that, the other two slashed at the shot, increasing the energy, and making a "X" shape in the center.
"It worked! Now it should take out some of the dragon's health! " And it did. as well as knocked it out Temporarily, Allowing the boys to slash at it, and in Bright's case, blast it.
"Nice one guys, Let's finish this!" Shining said. With that, the three grouped up again, and Slashed and blasted at the same spot, in order to finish the job.
"Good job guys!" Shining Exclaimed.
"Wow! We actually did it!" Bright added. "That was so awesome! Hey Discord! We did it! Again!"
And Discord appeared. Again. "Bravo Boys! I am truly impressed! You three work together as a team, all in sync, and you took out the dragon! Congratulations! Now I know. I'm going to give you three Chaos Powers, but they'll only show up if you're in danger. You'll see eventually." Discord explained.
"Sweet." Was all Shining could say.
"Alright then. On to the next dimension!" Bolt declared.
"indeed. Let's go boys." And with that, the four stepped through the portal to the next dimension.
