Matterhorn Season 1

Episode 4-Party Animals

“You ever one of those days?” Matterhorn asked while doing flying around the city.

“You get out of bed, you take a shower, you air dry by flying around the city, and then out of nowhere some jerk in a robo suit attack you?”

The Destroyer from before send her into a wall.

“Well, this is definitely one of those days and forget to brush my teeth.”

“Taking you down will be child’s play, Matterhorn,” Destroyer exclaimed.

“Really hotshot, you sucker punch me, but now you got my full attention.”

“What I want is your life.”

It slams fists down on her but avoids it.

“Sorry, I’m actually using it right now.”

Matterhorn did a spin kick to it and the froze it.

“It seems like every asshole in town wants to my archenemy these days.”

The Destroyer literally broke the ice by smashing it.

“Okay, nice trick have you seen this one!”

Matterhorn did fire blast then hop to a lamppost then her headset ringed.

“Hello?”

“Hey Twi, you on your way?” Monica was calling.

“Yeah, Monica…I’m not gonna make it.” As she dodged the missies.

“My schedule kind of blew up today.”

“Oh that's too bad, I’ve got some news I wanted to share in person but guess I can tell you over the phone.”

“Yeah, but can it wait?”

“I guess so. I just thought you should be the first to know—“

“Great! I’ll call back later.”

“Who the hell are you talking to?” Destroyer asked blasting her.

“That for me to know and you stand still while ripping the wiring from your power pack.”

Matterhorn got on the back and rip out the power pack.

“Without those power, circuits look like you can’t pull off that little anti-beam trick can you? Now let’s see who you really are.”

Matterhorn ripped the face part and initiated self-destruct mode and began the countdown.

“Countdowns are never good!” Matterhorn exclaimed the got on the back.

“Okay think, the thing is complex to diffuse here but I remove the danger part of it.”

Matterhorn rips the head and tosses it into the sea only to see the countdown was still going.

“The head was the clock part. Who the hell make these things? Okay. That weighs about 400 pounds. So carry the one.”

Matterhorn used her magic and lifted the robot out of town before it went boom.

“And the power of geometry ladies and gentlemen.”

Matterhorn looked down on the gauntlet and notice the timer had ten minutes before class started.

“And with the new alarm system I created, I won’t be late to class ever again.”

Meanwhile, Spencer Rhodes took down the visor and toss it down only for Caleb to catch it.

“Damn it, I almost had her.”

“Relax young Rhodes, you control my Destroyers as well as your father. Welcome to Simon Academy.”

…

At Nexus High

“Come on Monica. Answer your phone,” Twilight hope that Monica would pick up.

“Hello.”

“Monica, it’s Twilight. What did you wanna tell me?”

“That I’ve been clear of all charges meaning I’m back baby!”’ As Monica and the others as Twilight walked toward them.

“Yeah! Monica in the house!” Sandbar exclaimed then high-fived her.

“Sorry, buddy. I tried to tell you.”

“No… I’m just happy that I didn’t miss the celebration.”

“We should celebrate,” Randall came in.

“Monica’s a big part of the school, so we should do something can take part in. Any ideas?”

“Let’s have another science fair.” Ocellus suggested.

“No way, a physics tournament,” Starlight argued.

“All good options but maybe something different this time.”

“Stoner, how do they celebrate in your country?”

“Math-A-Thon!” Stoner said.

“Phew!” Twilight was relieved. “I was afraid you were suggesting a dance.”

“A dance! That’s perfect! We’ll have a dance this Saturday night. Good idea, Twilight.”

“Yes, I was the award-winning dancer at old school. Oh crap, I need to find a suit for Saturday night.”

Stoner runs off leaving the night. Then Starlight punched Twilight’s shoulder.

“Ow!” Twilight felt it.

“A dance? Thanks a lot, Sparkle.” Starlight storms off.

“How that’s how Nexus High decided to have its first-ever dance,” Potion Nova said.

“I didn’t want a dance. I don’t even know how to dance. I’m a scientist for crying out loud!”

“Relax, Twilight,” Moondancer calmed her down. “My uncle Stargazer Shadow is a renowned scientist and taught me two-step in a single afternoon. It’s all about angles and got until Saturday.”

At Twilight’s House, it was Saturday, and Twilight was dressed up for the dance.

“Uh, Twilight are you okay?” Spike asked as Twilight was dancing awkwardly.

“I’m not Spike,” Twilight replied. “It's Saturday and still don’t how to dance.”

“Don’t worry,” her dog reassured her. “You do fine just find your grove and go from there.”

“Thanks, Spike.”

At Nexus High, Randall called the best party planner Canterlot City had to offer, Pinkie Pie.

“All right people,” Pinkie rallies her friends (Applejack, Rainbow, Rarity, Sunset, Sonata Dusk, and her boyfriend and fellow part planner Cheese Sandwich. “We got to make this party look great since it is their's first dance of the semester. So, Rainbow and Rarity decor, Aj and Sunset food and drinks, Sonata arts and crafts, me and Cheese got the games. Any questions?”

Everyone shook their heads that they had no questions.

“Alrighty then let’s do this!” the party girl puts on her sunglasses and everyone got to work.

With Rainbow, Rarity, and Sonata Dusk.

“Man, I can’t believe that Pinkie is pulling out all the stop,” Rarity put on the table cloth that she picked out.

“Well you know her,” Rainbow added. “If there’s a party, Pinkie will be there.”

“I’ll say,” Sonata came in amazed.

“Anyway thanks for helping us out.”

“No biggie, I just want to say that me and my sisters are sorry for what we did to you at the Battle of the Bands and hope we become good friends.”

“Don’t worry yourself, darling, we wouldn’t have any other way.'

Hours later the party was in full swing.

“Yes, this is my jam!” Stoner exclaimed while dancing.

With Moondancer she was talking to her uncle.

“It was really nice of you to volunteer to chaperone, Uncle Stargazer. Especially on such short notice.”

“Of course,” Stargazer replied as Stoner started to feel weird.

“Whoa, Stoner are you okay?” Silverstream asked.

“Yeah, I’m fine, it’s just a headache.”

“Can I have everyone’s attention?” Twilight was on stage.

“I wanted to say a few words about why we’re here tonight. To welcome back Monica back to Nexus High.”

Everyone started to clap.

“As you know, Monica couldn’t be with us for a while, during that time I think we all felt something. Something that wasn’t there before. A void. And that’s because Harry has such a big presence. Her heart is bigger, her dreams are bigger and her generosity is massive. Of course, the same can be said for his ego.”

Everyone chuckled a bit, and Pinkie started to shudder.

“Pinkie,” Sunset asked her. “What wrong?”

“My Pinkie sense is going haywire,” Pinkie replied.

“And that means?”

“That something big, heavy, and possibly have horns is about crash this party.”

As if on cue, a humanoid bull smashes through the doors.

“Monica, out the way!” Twilight grabbed her out of the bull path. “Everybody stay back! Look out!”

Twilight tackled both Ocellus and Silverstream from the table.

“Amazing,” Silverstream chirped.

“Fascinating,” Ocellus agreed.

“Glad you two find it impressively but don’t sit there while that thing attacks.”

“I doubt he sees us, most bulls have bad eyesight. And while a group of them are called a cattle.”

Twilight gave them a deadpan look and sees a headlight panel.

“Well let’s go with the bad eyesight idea.”

Twilight turned on the party lights causing the bull to ram right into them then immediately headed outside.

“Sorry pal,” Matterhorn came in and threw a table at it. “If you’re horn in on this dance you’re gonna have me as a partner.”

Matterhorn threw more stuff at it.

“And I’m not saying it won’t be fun, but I’ve been told I have two left feet.”

She got on the back of it and the bull threw her off.

“Don’t you know it takes two to tangle! It also takes some scaffolding and a speaker. Man, this guy takes a pummeling but not this!”

Matterhorn did an electric kick to it making the creature unconscious.

“Stay back, everyone,” Matterhorn warned everyone. “Wait until the police arrive."

“Is everyone okay?” Moondancer asked.

“I don’t know,” Starlight said while holding a piece of cloth. “I found pieces of Stoner clothes shredded.”

“Oh my god! It ate Stoner!” Sandbar exclaimed.

“That wasn’t the point I was making. I’ve been working retinal identifying app on my phone.”

She scanned the bull’s eye and showed a match.

“And this bull has the same rental print as Stoner.”

“He changes into a bull? How the hell is that possible?” Rainbow asked.

“And more importantly came we change him back?” Sunset asked then Monica brought her science kit.

“Let's take a blood sample so we can start work on a cure.”

“Hey guys,” Twilight walked in. I was calling the police and what was going on.

“Monica thinks we should get a sample of this bull thing’s blood,” Potion Nova explained. “But how are you gonna pierce the flesh? Their skin is like armor.”

“Most bulls have soft bellies, right Ocellus?” Twilight asked

“Yeah.” Ocellus replied

“A little Sparkle strength and one bull sample for you.”

Twilight handed it to Monica.

“Well let’s get this to the lab.”

Then the police show being baffled.

“Can anyone tell us what happened?”

“You, Twilight, and Moondancer go to work. We'll answer questions here," Ocellus said

In the lab Twilight, Monica and Moondancer went to work on an antidote.

“Okay. The mainframe is to isolate any foreign enzymes in Stoner’s blood.”

“I’ll check the DNA sequencing.”

“Twi can you send the figures.”

“This can’t be right,” Moondancer noticed something in the DNA. “I only know one person who’s ever bond particles likes this and that’s..”

Moondancer pulled a newspaper article on her uncle who had a breakthrough in particle bonding.

“Girls I got to go. You keep working. I need to check something out.”

“Wait where are you going?” Twilight asked as the computer showed something.

“The mainframe found a catalyst,” Monica exclaimed.

“Whoa,” Twilight look at the data strands. “Stoner’s DNA is being overpowered by Bullcertide genes. Can we untangle them?”

“I can try but this genetic strain will require its own anti-diffuser.”

“And that’s Moondancer’s field.”

Moments later…

“Did Moondancer come this way?”

“Yes,” Rarity replied. “She was looking for her uncle. I told her I saw him leave during the ruckus.”

“She turned white and ran out of here and said she’d check his house,” Applejack added.

“I should go after her she’s doing with that diffuser. You all right here?”

“Yeah, the police are about to haul the big guy out of here.”

While with Moondancer had arrived at her uncle’s house.

“Come on, Matterhorn fly faster,” as Twilight donned her costume. “Why does Professor Stargazer live so far from the school?

With Moondancer she rang the doorbell and heard nothing and noticed the door wasn’t locked and opened it.

“Uncle Stargazer?” Moondancer called for her uncle as walked around.

She turned around the corner and Vargas was in the house.

Before he could react Matterhorn crashes right through the window.

“Vargas!” Matterhorn exclaimed.

“Aw, you remember,” Vargas said. “Now prepare for a fight you’ll never forget.”

Vargas retract his claws and lunged at Matterhorn.

“Stay back, Matterhorn urged Moondancer as she hold off Vargas.

“I know the neighborhood has gone green but you don’t seem the least eco-friendly. Let alone regularly friendly.”

Moondancer slams a wooden chair at him then Vargas got close.

“Where do you think you going?”

Then proceeded to slam Matterhorn slammed into a wall.

“Get out of here!”

Moondancer left and lock herself in a room. Outside, Vargas and Matterhorn trade punches and kicks at each other.

“I don’t know how you found me, Matterhorn, but no one is going to find you forever!”

Vargas drop-kicked her and then slammed her into a wall.

“Maybe now I can dissect you and analyze how you can you do what did there. Something about you seems a little too famil—aah!” Vargas yelped as Moondancer stung from behind him.

“Moondancer what did you do,” Vargas shrieked as he change back into Stargazer Shadow.

“So, Vargas is really Professor Stargazer Shadow.”

“Worse, He’s my uncle.”

“I’m sorry.”

“Turns out he was also behind Stoner’s transformation into the Bulldozer.”

Moondancer handed her the antidote.

“But the good news is, we now have the diffuser needed to cure him.”

“I could teleport us to the school in no time flat, but someone should explain things to the police when they get here.”

“I’ll stay here and wait with him. He is family, after all.

…

“Twi!” Monica called her on the phone.

“Monica?”

“Stoner bulled out again. Don’t come back here. This place is a madhouse. I couldn’t find the cure.”

“Don’t worry I call Moondancer she had it ready and sent to the…”

“The Masked Matterhorn,” Monica saw her flying over the school.

Matterhorn saved the people with her magic.

“Man, bull don’t sleep very long.”

Matterhorn got his back and hanged for dear life.

“I’ve got something that’ll make you more human. If you sit still for a sec.”

“Hopefully this will distract him,” Starlight said as she and Silverstream brought a bunch of loudspeakers.

“Hey it’s your favorite song, Stoner,” Silverstream exclaimed.

Stoner ram right through it and got stuck in the wall.

“Looks like music didn’t soothe this savage beast, but maybe this 30 cc’s of antidote will.”

Matterhorn injected the serum in the lower part and Stoner was back to normal.

“Did I win the dance contest?” Stoner asked.

“You were a smashing success,” Randall said as he and Monica ran over to him.

“Sweet.”

Disgraced Professor Stargazer Shadow is in the news again, this time for allegedly experimenting on teenagers. Stoner Verko a student at Nexus High, suffered a unique reaction when he was transformed into a genetically modified human bull. Fortunately, the quick-thinking students at Nexus not only subdued Verko but also created a cure. Stargazer now linked to recent Vargas incidents remains in police custody. Caleb Simon watching the news.

“You were right, you would make a fine addition to Simon Academy.”

…

“I just don’t get it Twilight,” Moondancer said as she and Twilight cleaned the house.

“Why would he do something like this? He’s the one who got me into science in the first place. Why would he betray everything he taught me to stand for?”

Moondancer shed a couple of tears.

“Moondancer, there’s not much I can say,” Twilight comforts her. “But my uncle got me science too. He once told me that ‘great power comes great responsibility.’ It seems your uncle just lost sight of that.”

“But if I’ve learned anything it’s that even though the person who inspired might be gone, it doesn’t mean he can’t still be here… in the mind.”

“Kind figured it out it had an important meaning. Thanks for being a good friend.”

Hours Later, Matterhorn was following the police cars.

“I may not be able to good as Twilight at it but I’m definitely getting better as The Masked Matterhorn!”
