Hasbro Heroes: All Charged Up
Strength or no strength
Previous ChapterApplejack and Rainbow Dash held their arms out, both staring at each other with such an intense look, as it seemed like they were doing something that required much needed focus for that matter.
Rainbow grins. "May the best strongest man win!"
Applejack smirked. "Heh, you are so on!"
"Alright!" Spike held the whistle close to his lips. "Ready...set, go!"
"Remember." Rainbow grunts. "The one who pushes the lotter off balance first wins!"
Applejack nodded. "Ah remember it clear as day!"
"Aww, yeah. I can't wait to eat this sandwich!" Pinkie said to herself in glee as she was about to devour the bacon and ham sandwich that she had made for her lunch while watching Applejack and Rainbow wrestle.
As Rainbow got the morral high ground and pushed Applejack who lost her balance and ended up knocking herself into Pinkie followed by a grunt, the sandwhich flew out of her hands and drops to the floor.
"You ruined my lunch!"
"Uh...sorry?" Applejack tried to apologize to her friend but immediately knew that wasn't going to fix anything.
"Sorry isn't going to get my lunch back!"
"Pinkie, chill...its just a sandwhi- gah!" Before she could finish her sentence, Pinkie pounced on Applejack dragging her in a fight between them. While they engaged in mortal like combat with each other, a geode fell on the ground into Spike's direction.
Spike gasped in shock, as he looked and saw nothing but a cloud of dust swirl around of the two who where still fighting and under the dust cloud was the shining geode that glowed. "Wait...that's Aj's harmony geode thingy, and it fell from out of her pocket!"
After taking the geode up off the ground, an idea came into the little boys head, he began thinking that If he had this magical geode thingy. Then he could become apart of sisters superhero team. A mischievous grin started to form, as he left the house with the geode to test the magic out for himself. Spike came onto the balcony. With determination, he was going to be a superhero! And that was something he was going to accomplish today.
Making sure he was alone, Spike spins like a ballerina, then holds the geode up in the air as he was waiting for something to happen then at the top of his lungs, he yelled. "Transform! Transform! Okay, is this thing broken or something? Why am I still normal?"
He rubs the geode, then sinks his teeth into it a few times and tries to transform again. But still nothing. Spike sweat drops, then a sound of a few rustling bushes caused Spike's ears to perk up tall and proud, while looking around, what came out of the bushes appears to be a tiny little squirrel. The squirrel ran out of the bush as Spike shakes the geode out of frustration and bites it some more. Soon then, the squirrel came out onto Spike's face making the boy scream in a panic now the geode fell from out of his hands.
"No, no, no!" he cried out, while running to the edge of the balcony where the said geode landed it's self into the storm drain. "What have I done?!" Spike sighed, as the fear started coming into his mind. "I am so dead," Spike took a peak through the door. "Okay. If I can sneak inside without them seeing me. They won't suspect a thing wrong."
He quietly tiptoes away from the chatteing girls, before they could see him.
"Now's not the time for this, knock it off!" Rarity growls, as she was trying to stop the fight from worsening between her two friends.
"C'mon." Applejack moved her hands like she was a boxer. "Let's go I ain't scared of ya!"
"My sandwhich." Pinkie sobbed on the floor. "My precious sandwhich is gone. And I'm so hungry."
"There there." Fluttershy consoles her friend who was on the floor crying like a baby. "I'll go and get you another sandwhich, okay?"
Sunset walked into the living room drinking a bottle of water.
"Hey guys. Uh. What is happening right now?" She saw Pinkie on the floor loudly sobbing like a little baby, and Fluttershy was consoling the miserable pinket in the best way she can.
"Oh alot." Twilight shook her head and took her gaze upon the flame haired girl. "So. Is there something important you wanna tell us?"
"Oh, yeah. A humpback whale ended up on neighland beach...and nobody seems to know how to get it off the land and back into the ocean." Sunset pulled out her phone, and showed them her social media page that displayed the situation she just described.
Multiple gasps rung out of the friends lips as one of them who was crying eventually stopped. They did not know of this because, they where too busy stopping a fight. If it was not for Sunset alerting them about the situation, they would have been missing out on doing their sol duty as protectors of the earth.
"I bet that pesky wild magic has something to do with it!" Rarity said, as their geodes immediately beeped to prove her point.
"So, your saying. We have to take care of it ourselves don't we then!?" Pinkie asked them, who all nodded in agreement causing her to squeal with excitement.
Applejack watched her friends activate their powers, and she decided to do the same with her own. But when she placed her hand over her neck to feel her geode she realized that it was not there. She empties her pockets to show that she didn't know where it was.
"Huh!?" Applejack's eyes widen in shock, as the realization hits her like a two pound truck. "No no this can't be happening right now?!"
Everyone stared at her dumbfolded, wondering why the blonde was dismantling the entire house like she was a mad person who hasn't had a good meal in months.
"Applejack woah," Rainbow said, as she noticed that the blonde was almost about to go balistic. "Chill! What's gotten you on edge?"
"My geode, its gone ah, can't find it,"
"You mean..." Sunset sighed as she tried to controll her anger by gritting her sharp teeth together. "You lost it!? How could you loose it!"
Applejack sweatdrops. "I, wasn't indented to loose it sugarcube. I just...don't understand how!"
"Maybe when you where wrestling with Rainbow the geode fell from your pocket and when you weren't looking, Spike must have took it up to do who knows what with it."
"Then if you saw what happened to it, why didn't you say anything!?"
"Um, I was busy crying because my sandwhich fell on the dirty floor all becuase of you and Rainbow and your silly game!" the pinket huffed, and crossed her arms still angry.
"Um, guys. Where running out of time lets get going to the beach now!" Twilight urges them as her face reaked of annoyance. She tapped her foot vigorously out of getting rid of the impatience she had so they could get to the beach and save the whale faster.
"Guh, wait. Just let me search for it deeper in the house!" Applejack begged, but she was dragged by Pinkie.
As Rainbow and Pinkie carried a sad Applejack like they were going to a funeral. Everyone jumps out of a portal and runs out to the beach first.
"Aww, poor whale," Pinkie cooed, when she saw the helpless creatures heavily painting becuase of the heat.
Fluttershy touched the whale's head. "He's piping hot,"
"How did he even get out here in the first place?" Rarity asked them rubbing her hands onto her chin. "This creature should be back in the ocean, not out here,"
Applejack slowly walked up her friends, with a sad look on her face. "Hey guys. What'd I miss?"
"Oh?" they all began to wonder why the blonde was all mopy.
Twilight activated her vizor to see if she could find anything they could use to lift the whale back into shore with, but she got nothing.
"Well?" Sunset raised an eyebrow.
She sighed. "I got nothing,"
The whale started panting again which alarmed the heroes. They tried their best to get the whale off the beach, and back into the ocean. But it was no use since neither of them has super strength.
Rainbow sighed. "Boy, we could sure use Aj's help right about now,"
"Couldn't agree more,"
"What!?"
"Huh." Pinkie raised an eyebrow. "That sounded like screaming I wonder what's going on,"
She turned and saw AJ and Spike who where talking.
"Can, you run that by me again now sugarcube?" She grits her teeth.
"So, while you guys where rough housing, your geode fell from you and I took it up because I wanted to transform into a hero, but a squirrel came in the way making the geode slip out of my hands and into the storm drain. But don't worry. I'll get it back to you!" Spike said while rubbing the back of his head, of embarrassment. "I promise,"
"Hmm," Applejack bit her lip. "Ah don't know about that, it doesn't seem like ah good idea to me. But at least you where honest enough to tell me. What do you guys think?"
"Well," Twilight hummed. "He was the one who lost your geode in the first place,"
"I say, go for it," Rainbow assured her. "That's his task as hero adjacent,"
"I'm, sorry but isn't hero adjacent my thing?" Sunset raised an eyebrow.
Applejack tried her hardest to controll her anger. "Alright, ya can go and get mah geode back, but someone has to go with ya,"
"I'll go with him." Rarity insisted. "Someone has to stay and keep a watch of the humpback whale,"
"Try to be careful, you here!?"
"We will!" they both waved them goodbye.
Rainbow came up to Applejack. "Hey, let's try and get this big guy back into the ocean, strength or no strength. What do ya say?"
The blonde started to feel a bit insecure at first, but that feeling started to dissolve greatly with pure confidence filled in her mind. "Let's go for it!"
"That's the spirit!"
As the rest of the gang devised a scheme on how they where going to get the humpback whale to sore without Applejack's strength.
Rarity and Spike ventured off into the sewers. To them, it looked scary, because there wasn't any form of light to light up their path, so they could see where they were really going. Then, the cave bats sqwaked loudly which startled both Rarity and Spike. Rarity slipped off the diamond hoverboared and into the stinky water.
She walked behind of Spike soaking wet with filth, as the little boy held his nose to rid the smell. "Pee eww,"
Rarity was using her flashlight to look for the said blonde's crystal, when she saw a red spiral looking object in the meerky water.
"It's Applejack's geode!" she said in awe. "I'll just grab it-"
"No!" Spike stopped her which alarmed the girl.
"Oh?"
"It's my fault you guys are in this mess. So I'm gonna fix it!"
The little boy dived into the dirty water, holding his breath for a solid minute when he reached for the geode. Spike was worriedly pacing back and forth when Spike came back up with the geode in his hand. "Take this to Applejack and tell her I'm sorry!"
"You got it! "she said while taking the geode from the little boy and dashed off in a speed off light.
***
"Easy does it now. AJ," Twilight said.
Fluttershy nodded. "Yeah, careful!"
The blonde carefully took the whale up in the orange cloth with the help of the crane, and also with her friends encouragement. Applejack grins at something she could accomplish without the use of her strength.
"Your doing great man!"
"Keep it up!"
"Heh, I'm just planning too!"
The screw started to un-screw, making the whale and the crane shake. They started to panic at the sudden loss of confidence was washed down the drain. Piece of the tractor that was supporting the mammal came clean off and it looked like it was about to crush the friends.
"Ahh! Hng!" Twilight yelled as she used her energy beam to hold the piece of the tractor that was supporting the whale from trying to crush the friends.
"Whew!" The blonde yelled in relief, as Twilight was trying her best to keep the thing in the air.
"I can't hold on for much longer!"
Twilight was almost out of energy, when the blonde was going into panic. What could she even do!? There was nothing she could have done, she was useless.
"Hey Applejack!" She heard someone shout. It was Rarity! And she had her geode! "It's time to shine baby!"
"Alright!" the blonde said when she walked up to her friend, and took the geode from her.
The part of the tractor that held the whale popped again, as Twilight, Sunset, Pinkie and Fluttershy screamed for dear life feeling like they were going to die for sure.
"And gotcha!" they looked up and saw Applejack's body and geode glow bright orange. Meaning, her super strength was back, which also meant that they were saved!
"Thank Celestia!" They breathed.
"That was a close call,"
"It could have been worse tho,"
"Yeah..."
Applejack held the happy whale up in the air with her super strength and the mammal was happily flapping his flipper, and the blonde's grin started to form. "Okay, ready. In ya go!"
She threw the whale back into the ocean, as theheroes watched the whale swim away into his home once again. They all sighed of relief that left their skin in the process.
"Hey Spike," the blonde got his attention as she held her apple shaped geode to the confused boy.
Spike blinked once, twice if may. "Wha-?"
The blonde grins. "For everything that you've done for us. I'll let ya have a little spin at it,"
"For real?"
"You better believe it!"
"Gosh, thanks so much!" Spikw grins, but then, he frowns when he thought that he didn't want to cause trouble like this again, so he declined his brothers kindness.
"Aww, bud what's wrong?"
Spike shook his head. "It's nothing. I'm just glad that your all okay,"
Applejack sighed, as she grins and rubbed her friends brothers head and hugged him tightly as they all watched the sun set together.
