It was so far a normal day in the ponies' base, a counter which held a castle playset on top, inside a ordinary room on the second floor of an ordinary house, the only thing extraordinary about this was the said sentient toy sized ponies living in said counter. A pegasus and earth pony were currently hanging out in the cozy room.

"Alright I've taken all my collectible food figures out of the toybox." Pinkie Pie informed Fluttershy showing the pegasus all her collectibles scattered across the floor "What a very diverse collection, it just as beautiful as my prized possessios" she comments pulling out a small box.

"Ohhhh! What is it! Wait no let me guess, my first guess is animal figures, my second guess is flowers and my third is baking supplies!" Fluttershy then opens the box and pulls out a small blue ball with black spots all over it "It's called the Moonball but I like to call it the boing ball."

"Are you sure you should be playing with that, cause by the name I can tell it's really bouncy." the pink pony pointed out empathizes on really.

"Don't worry just don't bounce it to mu-" the butter yellow pony was cut off by a surprisingly loud gasp from the earth pony. "One of my collectibles is missing, it's the butterfly that is actual butter!" She then gave Fluttershy a suspicious look "You stole it didn't you?"

"I wouldn't say stole more like borrow, I thought it would look good in my mane." the pegasus responded taking the butterfly out of her pink mane and handing it to the pony of the same color.

"Well Flutters since you've taken something from me it's only fair I take something from you and it's gonna be your Moonball!" Pinkie declares, Fluttershy sighs and hands the bouncy ball over to the earth pony who then throws it into the toy box.

"Hang on! You still got all your collectibles to play with and I've got nothing!" the pegasus points out "You've taken something away from me and i've taken something away from you, now we're even." the pony counters

"But-" Fluttershy ends up getting cut off by the alarm going off, which signals a problem in the real and bigger world, both ponies quickly make it up to the mission room meeting up with Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle who were already there. "We've got a problem." Twilight Sparkle announced

"Hold on i'm putting it on screen" Fluttershy said walking over to a platform and pressed a lever with her wing, which lowered a screen down, which turned on displaying a orange dragoness having a tea party with some homemade dolls. "More sugar?" She asks one of the dolls, she ends up dropping her tea cup and when she goes to pick it up her teapot disappears off the table and then a fishing hook comes out between the fence, out of the bushes and grabs one of her dolls.

"What the, where did-" the dragoness looks around, under the table and even over the fence and into the bushes finding no trace of her things. "Isn't she a bit old to be having tea parties with dolls" Rainbow asks "You can never be too old for toys and playtime!" Pinkie responds

It then cuts to another creature playing with toys in this case a young griffon playing with Equestrian toy soldiers and cars "The tank!" Fluttershy exclaims as the same fishing hook latches onto the toy tank's treads and takes it into the bushes. "FIRE IN THE HO-tank 51 where did you go?" he asks placing a toy nuke he had found in the sandbox down only for it to disappear.

"If things are being taken one of us definitely has to go investigate." Twilight declares "I hate it when things are rudely taken away." the yellow peagsus remarks

"You know about this kind of thing Flutters?" Rainbow asks "I certainly do!" she responds "Well Fluttershy looks like you're going on the mission!" the other pegasus declares.

"Oh um, let's not jump to conclusions, I'm not sure, I don't really think I can handle this kind of problem." The shy pony replies "Oh come Flutters I know you can do it, in fact if you go on this mission afterwards i'll give you your boing ball back!" Pinkie offers "Well in that case i'm sure, i'm going out!"

"We've got a problem, what should we do?" Fluttershy goes down a slide

"Who's going out there? Who do we choose?" she is then scanned by a contraption the light blinding her a little

We've got a problem to explore! Who's going out there?...Superpony 4!" All the cutie marks light up before her butterfly one starts blinking, a small claw grabs her pod and brings it over to her, she jumps in and the bigger claw behind the cutie screen retracts. The smaller claw brings her pod behind the bigger one, the big one latches onto the pod, the smaller one letting go of it catching her off guard a little, she finds herself staring at a tunnel of blinking circles.

"Good luck Fluttershy!" Pinkie said "Thank you, just get my boing ball ready."

"Are you ready?" Dash asks "Not really sure...but why not."

"Checking that the coast is clear" Twilight informs then deploying a camera out of the counter which scans the room and spots a young changeling and dragon playing with a another castle playset "Ringing doorbell" the unicorn says pressing a button which plays a doorbell sound making the 2 creatures go downstairs "I'll get it! NO i'll get it!" The changeling then griffon say as they rush downstairs

"All clear now" Twilight updates

Part of the counter opens which reveals the outside real world, the large claw attached to the pod retracts as a countdown begins. "5,4,3,2,1 0!" Pinkie presses a red button which launches the pegasus in the real world basically turning her into a swarm of pink butterflies.

"Looking for a place to land" Twilight mutters pressing the lever with her side, which switches through multiple location like a school, public pool, bakery and the outsides of many residents like houses, apartments and even mansion, eventually she finds a house whose surrounding area looked pretty similar to where the dragoness and the griffon got their things taken.

But as Fluttershy was about to land a number one on the house's number was sucked up by a vacuum nozzle leaving behind only the outline.

"Watch out Fluttershy someone or something stole the one of the house's number" the unicorn warned "Don't worry i'll be careful, i'm gonna find that griffon and dragoness."

"Alright so far the dragon's doll and teapot, the griffon's toy tank, nuke and the house's number one was taken, feel like there's a pattern, what is it?" Twilight wondered, as the latter things were displayed on the screen "They're all one thing!" Pinkie answers "Looks like whoever or whatever is taking these things are after the number one." Rainbow concludes

"Fluttershy we have a clue whoever is stealing these things is only interested in ones, if there's only one it'll be taken" the pegasus informs, capped off by a alarm indicating another problem nearby "Got it, i'm gonna go investigate this new problem" The shy pegasus declares heading towards a nearby mall.

Once there she hides behind a water bucket and spots a purple dragon mopping up a hallway with other cleaning supplies like a towel and a bucket full of baking soda and much more, he places the mop back into the bucket, wipes his brow and reaches in his bag.

As he does this a grabber comes out of seemingly nowhere and grabs the handle of the mop and due to where the pegasus was standing combined with the fact that she didn't want to be seen, she couldn't see who or what was taking the cleaning item.

The grabber drags the mop away somehow not tipping over and spilling the bucket or making a sound despite being wet. "What in Frostbite's name?" The cleaner asked looking around then looking inside the water bucket and then the baking soda one.

A few minutes earlier at a jewelry store inside the same mall, one of the employees a yellow hippogriff with a turquoise mane dusts off a pearl, the main display of the store only for a gloved hand to appear behind a pillar and casually grab the large pearl somehow not setting off the pearl alarm.

"What happened to the pearl alarm?" The hippogriff at first asks the end of her question turning into a mutter, scratching her head

Now in the present a white kirin with green accents and red horn was uni cycling in the park not far from the mall only for the same fishing hook that took the creature's toys to grab it by the brakes causing the kirin to face plant into the road "Welp never doing that again" the kirin casually says

Fluttershy are you there?" Rainbow asks

"Yes i'm here" She responds hiding behind a no littering sign "Things are being taken and stolen cause there's only one of them."

"And look I can see who's taking the things!" Fluttershy exclaims, the kirin's unicycle is placed into a bag which ends up revealing a creature which a surprising close resemblance a pony in a black mask with blue lens, purple trench coat and large hat.

"Fluttershy you've gotta stop that mystery creature from taking things!" Rainbow exclaims back "But I don't know how!" the mission pony responds "I've got it since the mystery creature only takes things that come in ones, lets send some magic that stops this." Twilight suggest

"Great idea!" Pinkie declares bouncing over to a button which activates a magic making trampoline "No taking if there's only one, no taking if there's only one." the blue beam of magic fly out of the safe, out of the house and through the sky where Fluttershy picks it up "Alright i'm gonna try to fir it into her mind, no taking if there's only one, no taking if there's only one."

The magic hits the mystery creature in the head which seem to get through to them, cause they walk over to a performance of a light blue changeling juggling 4 balls.

"I don't think we were being specific enough it's going for one of the changeling's juggling balls!" the pegasus watches as the changeling begins another round of juggling but when one of her balls slightly goes out of line, the mystery creature snatches it with their net before sucking it up the vacuum nozzle hidden in its sleeve, the changeling briefly raises an eyebrow before going back to juggling.

"Don't worry even though the creature's still taking things that at least it's just one of them and plus the changeling barely seems to notice, in conclusion she can keep juggling." Pinkie's quote is jinxed when another ball is snatched and sucked up "Uh oh!" Rainbow says worryingly "The mystery creature is now taking things one by one!" Twilight announces

"Didn't think it'll be able to find a loophole in our magic." Fluttershy whispers something she does when scared or nervous. The changeling starts to get nervous when 2 balls remain but once another one is taken away she just gives up ultimatley losing her crowd.

"Where is the mystery creature headed now?" Twilight asks as said creature walks off, Fluttershy squints a little "The mall!" "It's after the jewelry follow it Flutters!" Pinkie ushers, She makes it to the store where she hides behind one of the store's now empty pearl display.

The trench coat thief lays their eyes on a pearl necklace and pulls one bead of it "Well if the creature's gonna take the beads one by one at least it's gonna take them a long time." Twilight starts "Not if they do it very fast!" Fluttershy adds as the mystery creature starts plucking the beads out at a very fast speed.

"I got it since the thief is taking things one at a time how about we make it take something that there's a bunch of that it'll take them too long." Twilight suggests

"Ah hah! How about that box of crushed up diamonds, that's a lot" She then knocks the box over spilling the contents onto the counter.

"Crushed up diamonds!, crushed up diamonds!" Pinkie says bouncing around in the trampoline before sending the magic "Crushed up diamonds!" the pegasus repeats zapping the thief again, the mystery bandit attempts to use a pair of tweezers to grab each grain before getting annoyed and running off.

"They're heading for the cleaner, quick the baking soda!" Twilight orders "Grains of baking soda, grains of baking soda!" Pinkie and then Fluttershy say the bandit struggles a little before heading towards the neighborhood. "Grains of sugar, grains of sand!"

"Grains of sugar!" the pony repeats the creature easily gives up on taking the sugar from the dragoness and the sand from the griffon one grain at a time, it even gets to the point where the bandit starts pinching the tweezers at the air. "The mystery creature heading for the park!" Twilight says, Pinkie sees that displayed on screen is the light blue changeling from earlier now plucking blades of grass as some sort coping mechanism

"Blades of grass!" Pinkie thought and then said

"Lots and lots, blades of grass!" Fluttershy remarks "They'll never be able to take all the blades of grass!" Rainbows says as the trench coat creature attempts one last time to take something one by one before getting angry and running off dropping everything it had taken one by one in a trail from the dragoness doll to the jewelry store's bead necklace.

"HOORAY!" They all say in union "That's sort the mystery creature out" Pinkie commented "Come back now Fluttershy!" Twilight says as the pegasus turns into a swarm of pink butterflies, it flies out of the park through the sky back to the house and finally back into the counter with the castle playset on top.

"0,1,2,3,4,5!"

"Well done Flutters" Pinkie complimented "That mystery creature sure is strange." Fluttershy commented,remarked

"Alright Fluttershy here's your boing ball back." Pinkie promised using a hoof to push the box containing the peagsus' prized possession "Thanks and Pinkie sorry for taking your collectible if there's one thing I learned is that I know how it feels like to get your prized possession taken."

"Awww you're a great friend." Pinkie hugged her only for the moment to be ruined by the ball somehow bouncing out of it's box and around the entire cozy room

"Uh Oh!" Pinkie exclaims "Don't worry i'll catch it!" Fluttershy says only to end up tripping on some of Pinkie's collectibles, the bouncy ball the hits the earth pony in the forehead, both of them start scrambling in attempts to catch the bouncy moon ball.

Author's Note

Other characters like the remaining member of the Mane 6 like Rarity and Applejack (most common rare Super Pony) and a few side/background ponies will appear, Spike (The Cleaner) and at least one member of The Young Six (Five, though I will try to find a way to sneak Sandbar in a chapter as a rare Super Pony) will appear in ever chapter being messed with by one of the antagonists.

And if you're wondering the deal with the unusual number countdown and counting, Fluttershy is Numberjack 4 role wise but her number is 5 since she's the 5th member of the Mane 6 introduced

Troops Are A-Changeling (Bonus Based On Short Audio Story)

Twilight and Rainbow were hanging out in the gym doing acrobatics and Rainbow was about to show her best move yet. "Alright Twilight watch this!" The rainbow maned peagsus went down a tubular slide and ramped off the end, finally she did a triple flip landing, on her hooves.

Twilight giggles "Bet you can't do it 10 times" she betted "Watch me!" she responded she redoes the acrobatic move, the amount of times the unicorn said even doing it one extra time as a cap off.

"Hey Dashy watch the collectibles" Pinkie told her, the peagsus having almost flipped into her collection of the 10th and 11th times. The pink pony was currently showing Fluttershy her food toy collectibles lined up in rows of 10, 10 times showing off 100. "Alright Twilight, it's your turn to do a move." Rainbow's request is put to a halt by the misson alarm in the gym going off "Later come on everypony!"

The 4 super ponies quickly made their way to the control and mission room "Alright I'm putting it on screen" Fluttershy said trotting over to a platform pressing the lever with her wing, turning the alarm off and deploying the screen down, which shows a variety of hills, in a secluded area the nearest place of civilization being the Changeling Hive that was a few miles away.

It then shows a Maulwarf wrecking havoc behind a hill having dug a large tunnel, leaving huge piles of dirt and grass. "Maulwarf attack?" Rainbow asked "Don't really think that's a problem we can help with." Pinkie added "Think the problem scanner might be broken." Twilight's statement is jinxed by showing that a few miles away a swarm of 10,001 changelings a large lime green one with orange antlers seemingly leading the army, pacing back and forth with his eyes closed.

All of a sudden a sound is heard, a light blue female changeling is the first one to hear it along with the other 9,998 out of the 10,000 bug troops, causing them to flee and/or run off into the nearby hills and woods leaving a single troop behind.

"Now that's a problem we can help with" Fluttershy commented "Hey Pinkie and Fluttershy since you were both checking the collectibles out in an army setup, you 2 go out." Dash started"Get ready for launching!" Twilight added

"We've got a problem, what should we do?" Pinkie sent down the slide first shortly followed by Fluttershy

Who's going out there? Who do we choose? both are then scanned at the same which caught both Superponies off guard

We've got a problem to explore!" All cutie marks briefly light up, before turning off

"Who's going out there?...Superpony 3 And 4!"Fluttershy's butterfly and Pinkie's balloon cutie mark start blinking both ponies jump into their respective pods, Pinkie being loaded into the launcher first

"6,5,4,3,2,1,0 OFF YOU GO!" the other 2 Super ponies said in union, the blue pegasus pressing the release button launching Pinkie then Fluttershy into the real world, turning Pinkie in a trail of balloons, the unicorn easily found the field in which the disappearance happened.

"Hey Flutters look at least there's still one troop left" Pinkie pointed out, pointing a hoof at said troop which was the leader's second in command who was finishing it's speech "In conclusion we are not gonna let this monstrous Maulwarf wreck our home now who's with me?"

The green changeling opened his eyes and was confused when he saw only his second in command standing in position "Uh Pharynx where's the rest of the swarm?" he asked "I don't understand what happened Thorax they just flew off past these hills and who knows where." Pharynx responded looking nervously behind himself

"But I need all 10,000 to march up this hill to take down that massive Maulwarf, lets go look for the-you know what, how about wait they'll eventually come back, the swarm isn't that scared." he sat down on a rock and dug his face into a magazine. There's no way they can take down the Maulwarf by themselves" Fluttershy stared "Or go look for all 9,999 of the missing troops.

"Wait a second 10,000 this is like that nursery rhyme The Grand Old Ruler Of Canterlot, he had 10,000 soldiers he marched them up to the top of a hill, and he marched them down again!" Fluttershy realized "But who or what could've scared all those changelings away?" Pinkie asked

"I think I know who...The Mystery Creature!" Fluttershy answered having spotted the mystery thief behind a small hill holding a tape recorder "Twilight from base here, playing their information on screen!"

"Mystery Creature, Mystery Creature have you seen The Mystery Creature taking everything you can see." It shows footage of the mystery bandit walking from one tree to another seemingly disappearing behind the second one

“Picking, grabbing, hooking, netting! As mean as a mystery thief can be.” It shows stock footage of the Mystery Creature picking The Cleaner’s mop, with their grabber, grabbing the large pearl. hooking up the young griffon’s toy tank and netting one of the changeling’s juggling balls

"With their sucker upper there a huge mucker upper they’re as mean as a mystery bandit can be." It shows footage of the disguised creature walking off in a park.

"Looks like Creature-Do-Bad had scared all the changeling troops away!" Fluttershy informed Pinkie having just came up with a new nickname for this mystery bandit. They then spot something else not another antagonist though instead it was another Super Pony, Starlight Glimmer a rare, not around much but skillful Super pony.

"Uh Starlight what are you doing here?" Pinkie asked "Oh hey you 2 I just came here to watch the fight between the changelings and massive Maulwarf popcorn?" She offered, holding a small bag of popcorn "There might not be a fight if we don't get the swarm back." Fluttershy reminded as Pinkie scooped up a hoof full of popcorn and ate it.

"I got an idea how about we do it little by little multiply by 10, so you won't have to use with powerful uncontrollable magic." Starlight suggested "Rainbow Dash from base her great idea Starlight sending magic as we speak!" The magic making trampoline was activated.

"10 times the number of troops, 10 times the number of troops!" Rainbow jumped around building up and then sending a blue strike of magic into the sky Pinkie caught it "10 times the number of troops!"

She zapped Pharynx with the magic beam the tired changeling not noticing at all, he was suddenly woken up by 9 other changeling troops marching forward having returned "Hey little bro check it out now you've now got 10 troops" he said "That isn't enough we still need the rest of the swarm." Thorax responded placing his head back in the magazine, which was a sign to his brother than he could rest again.

"10 more times the number of changelings!" Rainbow said again sending more magic, which this time Fluttershy caught "10 times the number of troops!" the 10 troops are multiplied to 100 "10 times the troops!" this time Twilight saying hopping in the trampoline.

"10 times the changelings!" Starlight said picking up the magic and multiplying the 100 troops to 1,000 changeling troops "10 times the number of soldiers!" Twilight and Rainbow said union sending magic, which was cuaght by the trio and shot at the army multiplying them to the original 10,000 amount.

All the marching forward woke the second in command which informed the first in command "Were not gonna let this Maulwarf wreck our home now who's with me?" he asked again "WHOO!" all 10,000 bug soldiers responded he led them to the top of a hill, where they cheered again, they countined to march up and down multiple hiils, their cheers disappearing into the distance.

"Time to take care of that Mystery Creature" Fluttershy and Pinkie fired their remaining beams of magic at the thief's head causing them to run off "HOORAY!" All the Super Ponies cheered in union

"That takes care of that come back now Pinkie And Fluttershy!" Twilight said, Starlight waved goodbye as the 2 other super ponies returned back to the counter base, the pink unicorn then used the remain magic to teleport near the changelings to see them battle against the massive Maulwarf

"Well done you two!" Rainbow complimented "You're right Flutters that Mystery Creatures sure is weird wonder how they look like under their mask?"

"Alright Twilight now it's your turn to do something acrobatic." The unicorn went down the gym's slide and ramped off the end and did something acrobatic like Rainbow asked in case case a a triple flip and land on her hooves. The move itself isn't what impressed Rainbow it was the fact that she was able to do it without wings.

"Um Twily you landed on one of my collectibles." Twilight lifted her hoof and found one of Pinkie's collectibles a burger had been crushed under her hoof "I'll get you another one."

Author's Note

If barely anyone remembers the show in general I doubt anyone remembers the audio stories

Round And Round

"I think we've got some mail coming in!" Twilight announced from the control room, which was displayed on a screen in the gym where all the other super ponies were. Conveniently the control room had a feature where it would detect a mail pony cutie mark trail from at least a mile away so the super ponies wouldn't miss out on any mail in this case the mail pony had bubbles as it cutie mark.

"Oh what do you think mail pony gonna give us this time?!" Pinkie asked the others, dropping the red ball she was bouncing "Eh pretty sure it'll just be more magazine with bad offers." Rainbow said half-joking since they do get random magazines "Perhaps it might be something like stamps or stickers" the other pegasus suggested

"The coast is clear opening door!" Twilight announced "0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13!" the all counted up as the mail pony entered

"Oh sorry about that." a grey, yellow maned peagsus apologize having tripped and dropped some of the mail in the launcher room "It's okay Derpy" Cozy Glow Superpony #14 said help the pegasus up, grabbing the mail from her bag with a number 13 on it then leading he to the elevator to the control room.

"Hey Twilight Derpy just got done with her shift and saved the last pieces of mail for you." said reaching into her bag with a number 11 which indicated she was Super Pony #13 and handed the unicorn a small stack of papers.

"Thanks Cozy!" sge unwrapped the bow keeping the papers together Derpy and Cozy walked over, the grey superpony struggled a little to press the elevator button before eventually succeeding and going down. "Already paid water bill, already paid internet bill, already paid rent." She then finally found something that wasn't a already paid bill.

"Uh Pinkie, Fluttershy, Rainbow you might wanna come see this" she announced on the screen in a somewhat concerned tone, the other 3 main Superponies dropped everything they were doing in the gym and started heading to the control room. Once they were all gathered up Twilight opened an envelope which was addressed to all 4 of them and found a letter inside from another Superpony.

Dear Main 4

Hey, Pinkie, Fluttershy, Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Superponies 3,4,5 & 6 I was out in the real world walking along a local forest trail when something caught my eye on a tree I saw small black rocks it wasn't like any rock i've seen before, it was darker than any rock and created a trail I followed it and saw something very strange perched on a tree, I didn't have my camera on my which now makes we feel dumb, I went back to get it to take pictures but when I came back the rocks were there but the thing I saw was gone, so i sent you drawings of the thing from memory.

From Sandbar, Superpony 12

Twilight moved the letter to the back of the pile an exmained the first of Sandbar's drawings the first one just seem to show a black smudge "That's either 1 a mistake, 2 a printing error or 3 he just saw some smoke which might lead to a forest fire." Pinkie theorized

"Or maybe 1 this is a joke, 2 he's messing with or 3 he's pulling our legs" Rainbow suggested "You do realize those all mean the same thing." Twilight pointed out which made the rainbow maned pegasus facehoof "There's no way Sandbar could be lying he's one of the most honest and kind superponies we know" Fluttershy countered "Now that I say that I have a bad feeling about the other drawings."

Twilight flipped to the next drawing that illustrated the same black smudge except it time it had more clearly taken the form or a changeling or kirin, but most closely a pony muzzle.

"I can tell this thing is starting to take form." Twilight commented "Might end up looking worse than I thought." Fluttershy quietly added. 5 then flipped to the last page which fully revealed this thing, although there was still some black mist, enough was removed to reveal that this thing looked like a unicorn stallion with a red horn, black crown and a short red cape over his back.

"You don't think this shadow will come after Sandbar or the Superponies?" Fluttershy asked "Shadow? Hey nice nickname Flutters and since he has a crown, how about we name him The Shadow King!"

"Now isn't the time to be naming potential new threats Pinkie." Rainbow rudely informed her "I think it's best not to overthink it Twi."

"Yeah I guess, you're right overthinking leads to stress and I can't let that get in the way of keeping a pony order in Equestria."

The Mane 4 did seem to forget about the potential threat that was The Shadow King within a week, and allowed a whole month to go by. There were a few small problems here and there but overall nothing to major that was until one seemingly uneventful day.

In the Cozy Room Twilight was using one of the room's table with a lamp attached to read a book, the other 3 ponies were their pretty bored with no missions in 2 days "It's pretty quiet...too quiet." Pinkie remarked

Rainbow snickered "Egghead!" she blurted out "Yeppers!" Pinkie added "Flitter!" Fluttershy concluded "Just so you 3 know, you're not gonna make me laugh with your random phrases." Twilight informed

"Egghead! Yeppers! Flitter!" the trio repeated a little louder "You're not gonna make me lau-" the unicorn said the first part of her sentence trying to keep in her laughter before bursting into a fit of it.

"You can join in if you want Twi! Oh I got it, lets each do a action and keep the pattern going!" Pinkie suggested "Egghead!" the blue pegasus said extending out her wings "Yeppers!" the pink pony said bouncing up in the air "Fitter!" the yellow peagsus said fluttering her wings "Bookworm!" Twilight blurted out before doing a spin and stomping her hooves.

They continue this pattern of phrases and actions a few more times, even forming a circle at one point to create a cycle. This cycle ended with all 4 main superponies bursting into laughter and then is followed by the alarm going off. "This was fun everypony but we've got a problem on our hooves come on!"

Twilight led the other to the control room and Fluttershy rushed over the platform where the problem could be seen and the alarm could be snoozed "Alright everypony i'm putting it on screen" The screen came down and displayed a female yak with colorful bows at a park she places a recliner and sits down.

"Yona have long day time for Yona to relax" she mutters, despite this she is suddenly teleported to a bench not far from her orignal chair and then a random rock, it then repeats recliner, bench, rock, recliner bench, rock.

"That's very strange. One of us has to investigate that." Pinkie commented and Rainbow declared "Cool! a yak has never been part of the first problem." Twilight commented "Then it looks like you're going out!" Fluttershy concluded "Get ready for launching!"

We've got a problem, what should we do?" Twilight goes down the slide into the launching room

"Who's going out there? Who do we choose?" She is scanned closing her eyes so the scanner doesn't blind her

"A problem we gotta recognize!" All cutie marks light up

Who's going out there?... Superpony 5!" The sparkles of her cutie mark light up, she jumps into her pod once its grabbed, which is then carried over to the bigger launching claw "Checking if the room's clear" Fluttershy ends up finding a grown dragoness in the room cleaning up toys.

"Doorbell!" Pinkie calls out pressing the doorbell button making the dragoness drop the toys and go donwstairs "All clear!" Pinkie assure.

After a while of Twilight staring down blinking blue circles the opening to the counter and to the real world finally opens up "2,1,0!" Rainbow presses the button turning Superpony #5 into a trail of sparkles out of the house and through the blue sky. Superpony #4 on the other hand uses her wing to switch between potential landing locations eventually finding the outside of a residence near a small cafe and park.

"Alright made it!"

"Go find the yak and try to figure out her sitting problem" the yellow pegasus reminded her "And make sure to look out for mre problems" the earth pony recommended

"Alright gotta keep an eye out for any other problems." Twilight repeated looking around shortly followed by an alarm going off "There's one on my way!"

The unicorn makes her way into a nearby house through an opening in a window and hides behind a pencil jar and finds a pink hippogriff trying on a small bowler hat

"Hey Terry does this hat make my head look big?" she asked a white hippogriff with a teal mane "Not now sis i'm trying to beat this very hard boss." he responds sweating a bit while button mashing, the pink griff goes back to the mirror to double check only for the bowler hat to be turned into a top hat and then a cowcreature hat, it repeats bowler, top, cowcreature hat.

"That's hilarious!" Rainbow blurted out before bursting into a fit of laughter "So far 3 things had happened to the yak and the hippogriff" Pinkie noted down

"Doesn't look like she's the only one in the area with that problem" the unicorn says worryingly jumping out the opening and back into the streets, spotting The Cleaner wearing headphones and holding a leaf blower to get leaves off the sidewalk which is then changed to a vacuum and then a blower dryer which once again repeats leaf blower, vacuum,blow dryer.

"What in Frostbite's (Dragon Lord) name is going on with my leaf blower?" he takes off his headphones and turns it off to examine it even looking into the pipe, only for it to turn back into the vacuum which was already on, getting the drake's muzzle briefly stuck inside, he manages to pull it out only to discover his muzze had been stretched a little making Twilight laugh a little

"It seems that the yak, hippogriff and drake are having 3 things happen to them over and over again!" Fluttershy noted "They're stuck in a repeating pattern!" Rainbow finally managed to put together. Twilight headed to the park and found the female yak still stuck in her pattern of sitting locations and looks around "It's no good can't find any signs of who or what is causing this."

"I think I need some rest to calm myself down!" the unicorn declares running into some nearby woods and laid down next to a log "Twilight you may not be able to find what is causing the problem but you gotta at least fix it!" the rainbow maned pony reminded her "Alright find just send some magic and i'll sort it out" she responded

"Alright time to send the-?" the 3 remaining Super ponies all got confused looks on their faces from what they had just saw "What?" the super pony asked before looking over to find a male blue griffon seemingly standing still, he first jumps and then hops with one leg, and then flaps his wings and continued jump,hop,flap,jump,hop,flap

"This may be annoying but it's a good workout." The griffon told himself as he continued to do this pattern of moves "Uh Oh!" Rainbow worried "He's stuck in a repeating pattern as well!" Fluttershy added "BUT WHY!" Pinkie asked "I think I know now look!"

She spots small black thorns on a few leaves and a tree branch which then reveals the thing from Sandbar's third drawing "Oh no it can't be." Pinkie said "THE SHADOW KING!" all 4 superponies said in union "He must've affected the 4 creatures in some way." Twilight reasoned

"Round and Round they go where they're going nobody knows!" The Shadow King taunted in a distorted voice before laughing.

"Showing closeups of each creature on screen." 4 said pressing the lever which displayed closeups of said creatures on screen. The yak had a black thorn on one of her horns, the pink hippogriff on the tip of one of her ears, the cleaner on one of his back spikes and the blue griffon on his wing.

"I have a feeling there might be a reason why they were thorned" Rainbow reasoned back "I got it since things are happening to them in a pattern maybe they have a pattern on their bodies?" Fluttershy suggested "Good observation Flutters lets see." 3 responded

The super ponies start with the blue griffon, they don't find any patterns on his body, or on his hoodie but rather on a postcard hung from his bag "On his post card, blue moon, red moon, white moon" 5 pointed out

The hippogriff was next and they found that her pattern came from the pattern of her mowhawk/ponytail like mane. "it's her mane it goes white, light blue, dark blue."

For the cleaner there was no pattern on his body since he was only made of 2 colors with slight differences the pattern of 3 was found on his hoodie "His hoodie has the pattern of blue diamond, green emerald, red ruby" Finally for the yak it was on her accessory "The dots on her bow brown,teal, blue!"

"Watch out Twi!" Pinkie warned just barely saving her from being hit with the Shadow's magic, it ended up thorning 3 out of the 4 creatures "Uh oh his postcard changed it's pattern blue moon, red moon, white moon, yellow moon, so that means jump, hop, flap." the griffon let out a loud squawk which not only knocked Twilight down but also scared away nearby birds, luckily as the pattern repeated the squawk became a normal volume sound.

The hippogriff ended up getting a 4th shade of blue added to her mane the pattern now went, white, light blue, dark blue, navy blue. Rather than getting 4 hats on her head she ended up getting stuck on the cowcreature hat and start teleporting around the room, her head on something different, the table, the floor, the chair and finally her brother's shoulder.

Finally the pattern on The Cleaner's now went, blue diamond, green emerald, red ruby and gold bar and now the pattern was leaf blower facing forward, vacuum facing backwards which caught the drake off guard, blow dryer facing down and airpump sideways which in a way combined the 2 problems the hippogriff and griffon were having.

"This has gone on long enough! We have to break these patterns you heard what The Shadow Kinh said who know what might happen to these creatures if they don't stop, quickly send some magic." Twilight demanded

Rainbow activated the magic trampoline which then Pinkie jumped into "Break the pattern, break the pattern, break the pattern, break the pattern!" the pink pony repeated to ensure the unicorn would have 4 rounds of this magic, which then released in the sky.

"Break the pattern!" Twilight said zapping the blue griffon which removed, the thorn and yellow moon and spread out the 3 moons on his postcards.

"Break the pattern!" the hippogriff's mane was struck, removing the thorn when she laid on her brother's shoulder which revealed she only had 2 colors on her mane white and light blue. She then proceeded to grab the controller from him and start button mashing finishing the boss off, her brother took the cowcreature hat off her and put it on.

The cleaner was zapped removing the thorn and gold bar, scattering the 3 gemstones on his hoodie and returning his front facing leaf blower. Finally it was the yak, the thorn was removed and dots on both of her bows scattered, spread out she was on the rock when she realized she could go back to her recliner.

Finally Twilight used the last remaining amount of her magic on the Shadow King, he yells something unintelligible and since he was basically doing a pattern of thorning people he ended up exploding into black rock and shadow remnant, the remnant disappearing and black rocks turning into normal pebbles.

"Wow you not only broke the patterns you broke The Shadow King who made the patterns" Fluttershy remarked "He'll be back maybe." Rainbow capped off "Come on back Twilight" Fluttershy said as Twilight turned into a trail of sparkles and eventually back to the counter "0,1,2!" they all said in union as Twilight re entered the counter with the castle playset on top.

"Mane that mission sure was weird especially with the edition of The Shadow King!" Twilight remarked "Egghead!" Rainbow half nervously, half jokingly blurted out "Yeppers! Flitter! Bookworm!" they all said one by one before doing their respective action, starting up the pattern, cycle again.

Author's Note

Just to clarify: The Superponies aren't anthro but every other creature is

Potato Plot (Suddenly Potatoes)

"Time for some slide bowling!" PInkie hopped to the top of the tubular slide in the gym and lined up a ball. Twilight placed down 10 multicolored pins at the end of the slide and tapped her hoof 2 times to signal a ready. She threw the ball down which managed to a few loops around the tunnel, so when the ball came out the other end it hit a blue pin on the edge making it shake but it didn't end up toppling over.

"Since that pin didn't fall that's a gutter ball" Twilight informed writing a 0 on the notepad, the earth pony tried again this time by going down the slide herself head first, even though she ended up getting a strike, it also gave her a red bump on her head.

"Ow... okay i'll admit that was a lot more painful than I thought, think I got a minor headache" she remarked rubbing the back of her head and the lifting part of her mane to rub the red bump with her hoof making her jolt back in pain "You know Pinkie how about we try a different, safer game." Twilight said putting down Pinkie's mane, empathizing the safer part, she then walked over to her box of plastic food collectibles.

"While that bump heals, how about you count you collectible with a...counting rhyme" the unicorn suggested "Great idea Twi, 1 collectible, 2 collectibles, 3 collectibles,4...5 collectibles, 6 collectibles, 7 collectibles more!" she eventually decided on the cupcake collectible, before she could continue her counting rhyme and pick out another toy the alarm went off "You think you'll be able to get to the control room?" Twilight asked her friend

"Yeah I mean it's just a bump and headache!" she responded before following behind the unicorn superpony. They both made their way to the control room "Alright putting whatever's going on screen"

Fluttershy turned the alarm off which then deployed and turned the screen on, it showed a few potatoes somehow rolling down a grassy hill seemingly out of nowhere.

"Potatoes?" Rainbow asked extremely confused "You know everypony i'm not one who goes to investigate weird problems but this is one is at least 20% weirder than normal so i'm going out but just to make this a little less weird Fluttershy you're coming with me to the launcher!"

"We've got a problem, what should we do?" The pegasi slid down into the launcher

"Who's going out there? Who do we choose?" the yellow pegasus ends up bumping into the blue one while both were being scanned

"Here's a problem need to fix!" All the cutie marks light up one at a time

"Who's going out there? Superpony 4 and 6!" The 2 pink butterflies and rainbow lighting bolt lights up, Fluttershy hopped in her pod and finally loaded into the launcher, Rainbow and her pod shortly behind "Ready Rainbow And Fluttershy?" Twilight asked "Ready as we always are!" The rainbow pegasus replied "Then off you go!" Pinkie exclaimed

"5,4,3,2,1,0!" the 2 remaining ponies counted down in union, Pinkie pressing the release button whcih turned Rainbow into a trail of rainbow colored lightning bolts. Twilight flipped through a few residents and random locations, before starting to flip through different hills, like one on a football field, in a random field, one with a water well on top, one on a soccer feild, before landing on a hill with a playground on top and a large swing not far from the bottom.

"Alright Fluttershy let just watch for some rolling potatoes?" Superpony 6 informed but once she got to rolling potatoes here tone turned from confident to somewhat confused. They look up at the hill, nothing they wait a few moments, nothing. "Maybe there's no more potatoes to roll down the hill. " Superpony 4 suggested "There has to be some trace of these rolling potatoes." Rainbow countered

"How about we relax a little over that pile of white cotton." The yellow peagsus suggested pointing a hoof at said pile. They both trotted over to it but when they placed their back against it rather than a soft, comfortable feeling they instead felt a mushy weird feeling. "EW! That is not cotton!" the blue pegasus exclaimed

Fluttershy scooped some up and tasted it "It's mashed potatoes sorry about that Dash didn't recognize it's texture at first. Guess you're right there is traces that potatoes had rolled down this specific hill."

"Pinkie from base here Twilight told me that maybe you two could try singing my counting rhyme, and by that I mean sing the counting rhyme 1 Potato, 2 Potatoes, mines was just a variation"

"Worth a shot, come on Flutters" Rainbow responded, shrugging a little "1 potato, 2 potatoes, 3 potatoes, 4, 5 potatoes, 6 potatoes, 7 potatoes, more!" Both superponies then saw a potato roll up a slide, a piece of equipment from the playground on top of the hill.

"Looks like more potatoes are coming." the rainbow maned pegasus announced "Those are some pretty big potatoes" the yellow mane peagsus commented "Those are GIANT POTATOES JUMP OUT THE WAY!" Dash warned before jumping left and Flutters jumping right both out the way of the giant rolling potato.

"It's gonna crash into the swing set!" the pegasi watched as said vegetable crashed into the swing set breaking a few chunks of it off and causing all the swings to rattle loudly.

"What in Bulletproof's name is making all these giant potatoes?!" Rainbow eagerly asked knowing whoever was causing this will be spotted and her hunch was right, cause both then heard a distorted laugh "Look up in that tree it's The Shadow King!"

"Twilight from base putting The Shadow King's information on screen!" the unicorn then pressed a random button in the control room
if you spot a thorn of rock, guess what that thorn can cause? (Uh-oh!) he's the malicious, evil-filled Shadow King

"Sliced, diced or mashed, those are the ways you'll get these giant potatoes." The stallion taunted followed by distorted laughing and finally capped off by the stallion shooting a beam of green magic which hit the op

"He's thorned another potato, it's rolling up the steps." the sometimes shy peagsus started now able to see the black thorn on the giant vegetable "It's rolling down, IT'S ROLLING THIS WAY! JUMP!" the adventerous pegasus yelled tackling her firned out the way, just barely avoiding getting crushed by the gigantic potato, said vegetable rolled past the swing set.

"It's heading for the fence! *SPLAT!* ohhh sliced and mashed" the yellow peagsus remarked "What a mess" the other one added

"Hey it's 3 from base, I know a way to get rid of these potatoes, notice how the first rhyme counts up from-" she was suddenly interrupted "Be careful Pinkie!" Twilight warned fearing that The Shadow King might hear her due to how close the pegasi were to him.

"1 potato, 2 potatoes, 3 potatoes, 4, 5 potatoes, 6 potatoes, 7 potatoes, more!" the pink pony whispered to the 2 pegasus "So you're saying that we have to sing a rhyme that counts down?" Rainbow asked "Yeppers and don't worry I've already come up with one it goes 6 potatoes, 5 potatoes, 4 potatoes, please go, 3 potatoes, 2 potatoes, 1 potato, 0!"

"I'll send you 2 some magic to count all those giant potatoes to 0!" Twilight announced "Quickly! We can see more giant potatoes coming." Fluttershy whispered the pegasi having spotted a whole line of potatoes waiting to roll down the hill. The unicorn then trotted over to and pressed the button to activate the magic producing trampoline.

"6 potatoes, 5 potatoes, 4 potatoes, please go, 3 potatoes, 2 potatoes, 1 potato, 0!" Twilight and Pinkie repeated as they jumped in the trampoline releasing the blue stream of magic through the sky as one of the giant potatoes rolled down the slide, onto the hill and retained to wreck the swing set or hit the 2 superponies.

"Got the magic!" Both pegasus said in union both are now glowing blue, "6 potatoes!" they both zapped the first potato, which got surprisingly close to them turning it back to it's original size "5 potatoes, 4 potatoes, please go, 3 potatoes, 2 potatoes, 1 potato, 0!" they completed the rhyme zapping all the potatoes that were heading for them the wings and the fence for a long distance.

"Done it but what about smudge head?" Rainbow asked, although all the potatoes were returned to normal they still crashed with enough force to get a chunk of them broken off "I've got an idea 6 thorns, 5 thorns, 4 potatoes, go away, 3 potatoes, 2 thorns, 1 thorn, 0!"

"Lets count this Shadow King down to zero" Rainbow declared both ponies having caught the magic "6 thorns, 5 thorns, 4 potatoes, go away, 3 thorns, 2 thorns, 1 thorn, 0!" they release the magic on the stallion, he starts yelling unintelligibly as he shrinks eventually disappearing into nothing.

"We've done-HEY I TOLD THEM NOT TO STEAL MY POTATOES!" the pegasi heard a male voice yell, they walked over the hill and hid behind a slide's leg in the playground, they saw a red dragon in gardener attire staring at an empty potato garden, with holes in the dirt.

"Looks like the Shadow King was using those dragons potatoes to make trouble." Fluttershy whispered and having put together "But all his potatoes were turned giant which were sliced or mashed or got chunks of them broken off" Dash added

"Don't worry I got this" Pinkie said "1 potato, 2 potatoes, 3 potatoes, 4, 5 potatoes, 6 potatoes, 7 potatoes, more!" the yellow peagsus cuaght the magic and used it to re fill the dragon's garden, he looked around a little "Swear I saw something or someone." they heard him say before he started to place the potatoes into a basket

"We've done it!" Twilight and Pinkie cheered "Come on back you 2 pegasus!" the pegasi were turned into their cutie marks which flew out of the hill, through the hill and finally made it back to the counter with the iconic to them castle playset on top.

"Great job Dashy and Flutters!" PInkie congratulated "I'm still confused with how weird that misson was never thought i'll go on a mission involving potatoes.

"The bump on my head is now healed, let's try this again." Pinkie threw another red ball down the slide and although it hit the same pin at the first time it actually knocked it over.

"Wow Pinkie's that actually a pretty good improvement from last ti-" Twilight flinched when she heard the sound of bowling pins being knocked over she looked and saw that Pinkie had gone down the slide again his time fore hooves first and had gotten a strike.

"That was painful but not as much at last." Pinkie remarked once again
