An Earth pony stallion was sitting on his couch as he pressed a button on his remote to turn his TV on. He was a simple pony who had a peach-colored coat and he was completely bald. He didn’t even have a tail. He had brown eyes and was wearing blue and white striped pajamas. Static came on the screen of the TV and the pony pressed another button. The channel number appeared on the corner and The Maretropolis News logo became visible.
“This just in,” said the voice of the news host, “the Maretropolis Museum has just been taken hostage! Earlier tonight, during the unveiling of a rare new artifact known as Zeus's Lightning Bolt, Ahuizotl, the arch enemy of the archeologist who discovered the artifact, the famous Daring Do; reveled himself along with security guards who turned out to be henchponies of his. While our reporters were getting an interview with business mare and museum sponsor, Twilight Sparkle, they managed to catch this on tape and it was sent back to us via live feed. Here is what they got”
The scene then shifted to show a purple unicorn mare in a business suit. The reporter behind the camera tried asking her a question, but the mare was pulled back by a tan pegasus with a helmet and a green polo. The camera showed them saying some things to each other that were inaudible before the pegasus rushed over to another pony in a business suit. She pulled him in by his shirt and they started whispering. The next thing he knew, the pegasus shoved him aside and made her way up to a display case, where a guard was standing right next to it.
"Caballeron, stop!" the pegasus shouted. The security guard looked at her and grinned.
"Looks like we will have to resort to Plan b boys!" the guard shouted. There was then a collective gasp from the crowd of ponies. The camera turned to reveal the other guards pointing their guns at the crowd. Panic ensued as several ponies tried to make a run for the exit only to be prevented by the guards.
The camera turned back to the pegasus and the guard, who were shouting at each other above all the ensuing chaos. A loud hissing sound was then heard and the camera turned again to reveal a large, blue cat-like creature bursting through the entrance. The camera was then dropped and the feed ended when it hit the floor.
"Police have been informed of this immediately and they are on there way to the scene as we speak," the reporter explained. "We will have more on this story as it develops." The pony then pressed a button and the screen went to static before the TV turned off. He sat there for a few seconds with his cheek resting on his hoof.
"Eh," the stallion finally said, "I guess I'll go check it out." The pony got up and walked over to his closet. He opened the door and slid off his pajamas. He pulled out a yellow jumpsuit and stepped into it. He pulled it up and zipped up the zipper on the collar. He then buckled up a black belt and slipped four red rubber gloves onto his hooves. Finally, he took out a white cape and clipped it onto his jumpsuit. He was ready.
The stallion walked out to his balcony and jumped over the edge. He landed and stood up straight before looking forward and starting his sprint towards the museum.
When the stallion got to his destination, the police had already arrived and were making their way into the museum. He watched them, and then noticed a side door open. The stallion saw the blue creature making his way out, holding a yellow pegasus mare! He glanced at the police, then huffed and hustled off down the alley. The stallion scrunched his eyes and hummed before giving chase. He made sure to stay as silent and stealthy as he could so the villain wouldn't notice he was following him. Once the villain, Ahuizotl, reached the end of the alley, he took a sharp turn to the right.
The stallion followed and saw Ahuizotl running down the back alley. He continued chasing after the villain without him even noticing. After a while of various turns and alleys, they finally made it to an abandon cat-food factory. The stallion stopped and watched as Ahuizotl climbed up the fence and leaped over to the other side. He ran across the pavement and right to the front door. Ahuizotl swung it open and ducked inside, the door closing behind him.
The stallion hummed again and started to climb over the fence himself. Once he got over it, he then walked over to the building. While he was, he thought briefly about how he normally wasn't this cautious for villains not to notice him. He normally wouldn't have cared who noticed and just took him out right there. However, Ahuizotl did have a hostage, so he wanted to make sure she didn't get hurt.
The stallion went to the side of the building to try and find another entrance. He scanned the wall as he walked along before he found a windowsill with most of the glass missing. Carefully, he pulled himself up on it and stepped through into the factory, making sure he didn't get any part of his costume caught on anything. Once he knew he got in fine, the stallion took a look around. He was in a wide, empty room, save for several large machines that hadn't been used in ages.
"I'll curse that mare for what she did to my hoof!" a voice said rather loudly. The stallion recognized it as the voice of the guard on the TV, Caballeron. He then went up to a machine and hid behind it. After he heard Caballeron and Ahuizotl complain some more about the incident at the museum, he took a peak and saw Ahuizotl sitting on an old conveyor belt petting a white cat. He then shot a glance at something in front of him.
The stallion crept over to the other side of the machine he was behind and saw the yellow pegasus that had been taken hostage, bound to a chair in the corner of the room. He then heard Caballeron speak again about there plan. The stallion decided he wanted to hear what exactly these villains were trying to accomplish, so he listened. Ahuizotl then went on about something involving gods and taking over the world, nothing original.
"Ugh," the stallion said quietly to himself. Judging by his motives, he was almost certain he know exactly how this confrontation was going to go. But he still hoped that things would be different this time around anyways. Finally, Ahuizotl got up to get his cat a treat.
"You know, this mare is quite beautiful," the stallion heard Caballeron say.
"I suppose. For pony standards," he heard Ahuizotl respond after a short pause.
"In fact," Caballeron continued, "our heroes may not appear for a while. You wouldn't mind if I...had a little fun, first?"
The stallion then saw the mare squeak. Her hooves were shaking and she was taking deep breaths.
"Bah," Ahuizotl said, footsteps being heard, implying he was leaving the room. "I don't care what you do with her. Just be sure to leave her in one piece."
The stallion heard Caballeron chuckle. "You are too kind, Boss." He then saw the thug stalking towards the bound mare, her expression clearly containing fear and anger.
Alright, now he had to act. The stallion then moved across the room so fast, he appeared as a blur. He socked Caballeron across the face, knocking him out cold. Caballeron then collapsed onto the ground. The stallion stood over the unconscious criminal.
"You sick creep," the stallion said. The white cat then came up to the unmoving Caballeron and started brushing and purring across his head. The stallion let out a small smile. "Oh hey, cat." The mare let out a long sigh, relief washing over her and extinguishing her anger that had been building up. The stallion glanced at her. "Hey, ya alright?"
"Oh, yes," she answered in a soft voice. "Thank you, for saving me."
"Don't mention it," the stallion responded, his smile returning.
"Hey, what's going on?" Ahuizotl asked as he returned. He then saw the stallion turn to him and noticed that Caballeron was knocked out. After a moment of silence, Ahuizotl addressed the stallion. "And who exactly are you?"
"The name's Sattletama," the stallion answered, "and I'm a hero for fun." Ahuizotl just stared at Sattletama for several seconds. Finally, he spoke.
"Really?" Ahuizotl asked. "That's it?"
"Yep," Sattletama responded.
"That's seriously you're whole reason for being a hero?"
"Pretty much, yeah." Ahuizotl was silent for another few seconds.
"...what kind of half-assed backstory is that?!" Ahuizotl shouted. "What? Didn't you're parents die and you decided to fight crime to honor their memory?"
"No," Sattletama answered blankly.
"Or, did you have a near-death experience, but the gods decided to bless you with divine power so you could protect the innocent or something?"
"No."
"Were you bitten by a radioactive spider?"
"No."
"Are you secretly an alien from a now destroyed planet?"
"No."
"Were you born with some weird power that made you an outcast, but then taught to use it for good so the world would accept you?"
"No."
"...so that's it then? You were seriously just bored one day and randomly decided to take up crime fighting as a hobby?"
Sattletama paused for a moment. "Well, that's not exactly it either..." Ahuizotl just growled and glared at him.
"Alright, fine then, Mr. 'Hero for Fun'," Ahuizotl said as he bent down, getting ready to pounce, "then let's see how you fair against the great Ahuizotl! Arch nemesis of Daring Do and criminal mastermind known worldwide!"
Ahuizotl then pounced at Sattletama, who just stood where he was with a blank expression on his face. When Ahuizotl was close, Sattletama quickly and casually punched him in the face with his front hoof. The force of the punch was so strong that it sent Ahuizotl flying across the room and crashing through the wall, leaving a large hole leading outside. Ahuizotl laid on top of a pile of bricks and rubble, extremely dazed with his nose bleeding. He let out a low moan before slipping out of consciousness.
The mare's mouth hung open, completely shocked at how strong this pony was. Sattletama just hung his lip for a moment. He then scowled as he looked at his hoof, which had a little smoke rising from it.
"Another fight," Sattletama said angrily, "where all it took was a single, measly punch..." Sattletama shook in anger and frustration, before he got down onto his knees. He shot his head upwards and looked straight up as he screamed.
"DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Author's Note
Hello fimfiction, and here is the first story I am submitting to this site.
I came up with this a while back, while I was reading DF's Power Ponies story. When I was in the middle of one of the archs (I think it was the first one), a thought came to my mind. That thought being: what would this fic be like if One Punch Man were in it? So, as the months passed, I started to imagine the characters reenacting various moments from One Punch Man. And now that I finally have a FIMFiction account, I decided to write it down.
...god I am unoriginal.
But anyways, thanks for reading. And sorry if my writing potentially sucks. My only other experience writing comes from writing VS Battles on DeviantArt. So as always, constructive criticism is appreciated.
