MLP Heroes: Unlimited
Season 1 Episode 2- The Rise of Six Part 2
Previous ChapterPicking from what we were picked off, the six had fended off an alien race called the Togi from capturing Sunset Pheonix.
"So it's over?" Dragon Fist said.
"Not by a long shot," Captain Armor shook his head,
"Now that we interfered, Lord Javen will strike harder. It's only a matter of time..."
On the second of this, the beams from island mounted communicator flash into Javen's static distorted image towers over the skyline.
Fools! The Earth scum was warned. Your insolence will be punished. Your city shall be destroyed!
As a fearful crowd stares up at the projection, it winks out and the ship sails in. The gun angles itself downward, the broad muzzle glowing at its center, and warms up.
"Oh shit. So after trashing a pizza place and a video game store, now we've managed to piss off an alien species so much he's using an intergalactic weapon to wipe us from the face of the planet?" Iron Sentry asked.
"Pretty much," Dragon Fist replied.
"This ain't the time to point fingers at each other. We've got in the mess and we will get out of it, together," Midnight said as everyone had agreeing faces. "Come on. We've got a city to save."
Moments later, the six were inside the Vulcan due to Sunset Pheonix's magic.
"Is everyone okay?" She asked them.
"We're all okay, except for dragon boy," Iron Sentry said as everyone pointed to Dragon Fist who was on his knees.
"Sorry, teleporting gives me weak knees, but I'll manage."
"We have to get to the firing controls, there's not a lot of time."
The six made their way to the front until...
"Uh, guys, I think they know we're here," Captain Armor said as a squad came charging at them.
At the exterior of the ship as the weapon warms up. Graphs light up to the rising power levels at the control panel; after they have topped out, two crewmen are manning the helm on the bridge. Several others are partially in view in the background. After adjusting the controls, one of these two turns in his seat to address this area.
"Lord Javen! The weapon has reached full power!"
"Then begin the firing sequence."
The henchmen do so. We see a schematic of the ship; the graphics fade away and are replaced by a circle of characters in the crew's language, with another one at the center. The peripheral marks begin to disappear one by one, starting at the top and working counterclockwise; this is the countdown timer.
"The Earth scum shall learn...", he stands up, " It takes more than six juvenile heroes to defy the mighty Lord Javen!" We see behind him and tilt up to frame the observation windows in front. The weapon's barrel points straight ahead from here, and rings of light flick on from the base forward.
Back to Javen, smiling grimly at the destruction he is about to unleash, we see soldiers guarding him. An instant later, the door directly behind him is blown inward with terrific force and a screenful of smoke, which clears to show a close-up of Midnight.
"We're not six heroes. We're one team."
The others all stand together. Javen ditches his triumphant smile in favor of an enraged growl and in a twinkling every spare The deckhand is on the move.
Midnight leads the charge for his side, yelling out,
"GO!"
Midnight gets in the first hit, a flying kick that nearly snaps a scaly neck. Iron Sentry slams both fists to the floor, throwing out a sheet of energy to blast others off their feet; next, Dragon Fist kicks two in the gut full force. Sunset Pheonix delivers a supercharged uppercut that sends her enemy crashing to the deck then starts shooting fireballs at her attackers as fast and as hard as he could! Captain Armor reacted just in time to kick one Togi away and bash another with his shield then use his gun to shoot down five of them.
Trogaar leaps in close, smashing both arms against the deck close enough to send him flying backward with a yell.
The only thing that stops his momentum is an inconveniently placed wall; he slides down it and ends up on the floor in a heap. Here comes the Togi lord again, roaring and all set to beat him to a pulp, but Storm Dash pops up from the floor and throws up a small shield. One punch after another whumps into it as she backs up slowly toward the wall and her knees buckle, and he finally batters through the defense and prepares to flatten them both.
Dragon Fist runs at him and tries to hit him yelling in anger, but is punched away and is forced to deal with more of the soldiers that were attacking, using his powers to breathe fire at enemies!
Javen turns back to Storm to smash her, but once again, he is foiled, this time by Midnight's leap onto his shoulders; the surprise attack leaves Trogaar stumbling backward past an underling who has locked up with Iron Sentry. After some moments, Midnight is wrenched free and hurled across the deck; she manages to turn the tumble into a flip and land in a crouch.
It takes him only a fraction of a second to leap back into the fray and deliver a crushing left jab that rocks Javen off his feet. Even before the latter can hit the floor, he is bashed in a different direction by a steel-soled spin kick, and Midnight instantly starts into a new move for the coup de grace. Now it is her turn to be caught out when the massive hands wrap themselves around his midsection, and she is hurled past Sunset into the far wall behind the captain's chair. She voices a shocked gasp upon catching sight of her.
"Midnight!"
No time to worry about him further, for the snarling alien is on his way across the deck toward her. Warming up as she lifts off, she lets go with a string of shots that tears into the deck on the way toward him. She is lost under the glare and smoke for a moment, but leaps out of it intact and madder than ever and bears her to the floor. That giant hand lifts her high and slams her down again; she struggles to break his hold for a moment, then squeezes off a body-blow fire blast that forces him to drop her.
As he backs up from the former captive that is tougher than he thought, Iron Sentry rushes across the pile of unconscious Togi. The armored hero lands a haymaker on the leader's jaw, then Sunset follows up with a fire kick. But the onslaught wasn't enough as Lord Javen easily gave the two a beatdown that sends both of them across the bridge toward the still-prone Midnight.
Before any of them can react, Javen and a couple of Togi have to move in to do them in. As just the aliens had the upper hand.
"Hey, uglies!"
Then we're suddenly interrupted by the voice of Storm Dash.
"Back away from my friends! Prismatica Tonitrua"
Her spell caused most of the bridge to disappear in a massive explosion after which the Vulcan was out of control and plummeting toward Equestria City coast. The waves caused by its splashdown wash over and recede to show only the demolished bridge still above water. As it begins to sink, we cut back to the now-exposed deck, littered with knockdown ETs.
The heartfelt moment didn't last as Javen gets up and sets his eyes on Storm Dash and Dragon Fist and proceeded to extend his claws preparing to disembody their balls but it was his master plan was stopped by a blast from behind courtesy of Iron Sentry.
"Your welcome," Iron Sentry said.
Hours passed as it was now morning at the Coast and the island, with the Togi landing craft still in. Midnight, Sunset Phoenix, Dragon Fist, Captain Armor, Iron Sentry, and Storm Dash are on the island's shores, and traces of Javen's invasion fleet.
"Quite a view," Sunset said seeing the rising sun.
"Somebody oughta build a house out here," Iron Sentry added.
"If you are into the beach," Dragon Fist added.
"You know, you're kind of funny," Storm Dash said.
"Guys," Sunset spoke up. "I want to say thanks for helping me."
"No problem, this better remind all alien freakshows that want to invade our planet," Storm Dash said to her. "Besides we make a good team."
"I thought we want to keep in touch, so Iron Sentry and I designed these," Midnight handed them four black communicators. "When there's trouble you know who to call."
"If we're going to be a team, we'll need a name."
"Any suggestions?"
"How about we called ourselves the Defenders," Dragon Fist suggested then the rest agreed.
From that moment six heroes who come from different worlds came together to protect their home and became the Defenders.
