One was a brown skin boy with a flat top and a tie. The other was white skinned and a bad haircut. They are George Beard and Harold Hutchins. Remember that now. Anyways they were heading inside their elementary school and love to pull pranks to make everyone laugh. But they had to watch out for their mean principal: Mr Krupp. And he hates anything fun. Anywho they were in their science class and the teacher was bored til they heard the speaker. "Attention everyone. Principal Krupp here with an announcement. This Saturday is the mandatory Invention Convention. So be here with your inventions at 8am. And no complaints!!" Krupp announced. Everyone groaned at that except for Melvin Sneedly who is supposedly the teacher's pet. They all headed out in hopes on enjoying the weekend but George and Harold had other plans. "Hey George. I got an idea." Harold replied. "Okay lemme hear it man." George said. "What im thinking is that we can mess around with one of Melvin's inventions so that way everyone will get a good laugh out after hours of boring talk." Harold answered. "Good idea. Let's do it." George responded. So the two headed their way to the gymnasium and saw a lot of Melvin's inventions. Now putting on a simple prank was one thing. But since they wanted the whole school laughing they needed to choose one invention to mess around with. "How bout the Lint Collector?" George asked. "Nah we need something bigger. Like......ooh that one. The Other Dimensionater." Harold said pointing at a special machine with a portal blaster in it. "Perfect. Let's build us a remote to control that machine." George responded. So the two got out their supplies and got to work. They took the mechanism and data from the Other Dimensionater and quickly built a mini remote to control it. Then they rushed out of the building and headed home so Krupp wouldn't catch them. Saturday came and sure enough it was cloudy and gray. Everyone walked all gloomy and sad into the school like zombies. They really didn't want to be there but Krupp gave them no choice. "All right everyone. Since were here we can begin. Now on to Melvin Sneedly who will demonstrate all 18 inventions he built. Take it away." Krupp said as he gave Melvin the mic. "I will now demonstrate something I call The Robotic Sock Matcher. Never again with you waste time matching your socks." Melvin said as he demonstrated his invention which matched his sock. Hours went by and everyone was bored out of their minds. They can't stand hearing Melvin talking. But luckily George and Harold had their remote all ready for their prank to work. After Melvin finished demonstrating the 16 inventions he had he went to the Other Dimensionater. "And now people feast your eyes on this. The Other Dimensionater!! This puppy right here can take me to other dimensions and see other things no human could have. Allow me to demonstrate." Melvin responded. He pressed the button which actived the Other Dimensionater and prepared a portal. Then right on cue George pushed the button on the remote and caused the Other Dimensionater to go crazy. It played some music and started opening different portals to different worlds. Krupp saw this and worried. "Melvin turn that off!" Krupp demanded. "Im trying sir but it's not cooperating!" Melvin responded. Then suddenly the portal in the center of the Other Dimensionater became unstable and started to vacuum up everything. The students all grabbed on to something to prevent them from being sucked in. But George and Harold didn't find anything to hang on to and got sucked in. So did Krupp! They all screamed in the portal til they reached the light on the other end. The portal reopened and George and Harold came out and landed on the ground. Krupp came out too and hit his head on a tree and was knocked out cold. They saw him and placed him in a wagon they found and the boys looked around seeing the new surroundings in front of them. "George? Where are we?" Harold asked. "I don't know buddy. But if I had to guess I say we're in a village of some sort." George answered. "And is it weird that everyone is a pony here?" Harold wondered as they saw a lot of ponies enjoying their day. "I guess so. But maybe someone can tell us where we are." George thought. The two nodded in agreement and headed off trying to find out where they are. They kept walking til they ran into a pink pony with a pink mane and tale. "Yike! Who are you?" asked the pony. "Sorry miss we were...." "Oh oh oh! Lemme guess! You're the two pranksters George and Harold and you're wondering where you are!!" The pony smiled. The boys stared in shock as they tried to process what she said knowing they're names. "Uh yes. We are George and Harold. How on earth did you know that?" Harold asked. "Just a hunch. My name's Pinkie Pie! And I love making new friends!" Pinkie said as she saw Krupp's unconscious body in the wagon. "Is he a friend too?" "Um I wouldn't call him a friend. See that guy is the worst principal in the world. Mr Krupp." George explained. "Mean old Mr Krupp. He hates anything fun. Like comic books, recess, Christmas, even animals." Harold finished. "WHAT?!? He hates anything fun?!" Pinkie shouted. "Yeah Pinkie. But please don't shout. Were right here." George responded. "Sorry. But I don't like any pony that hates fun. Lemme fix that." Pinkie told them. She took out her party cannon, placed Krupp in it and blasted him far into a building where he crashed into a house but was still unconscious. Back with the trio the boys were shocked at the cannon. "Where did you get that cannon?" Harold asked. "I always carry it with me. In case of cannon emergencies." Pinkie said putting it in her hair. "Uh and how did you stuff that in your hair? Actually I rather not know. Where are we?" George asked. "Your in Equestria silly! More specifically Ponyville." Pinkie answered. "Okay so were in Ponyville. Good to know. Is there anything or anyone that can help us out around the place?" Harold wondered. "Yes! Why don't you meet my friends? They can help you get used to Ponyville!" Pinkie offered. "Well considering we'll be here a awhile I say we have no other option. Alright let's go meet your friends." George responded. "Great! Come on boys!" Pinkie said in excitement. So George and Harold followed Pinkie to meet her friends. Since they will have to get used to Ponyville they need all the info they can get. Author's Note Time for a crossover with Captain Underpants!!! Chapter 2: A Pony GreetingThe trio were still walking til they saw a castle in the shape of a tree covered in purple crystals. George and Harold were staring at it in awe seeing a beautiful sight. "Wow! Look at this! It's like a tree! A beautiful tree!" Harold complimented. "Im glad you like it. That's only the outside. Wait till you see the inside and fun fact: one of my friends lives in there." Pinkie responded. The boys smiled as they all went inside the castle. They looked around seeing all sorts of books like a library. Only this one is more tidy and clean unlike the one they had in their school. They went in a room where 6 other ponies and a dragon were discussing something. The ponies were an ailcorn and 2 regular unicorns white and light purple and lavender, 2 pegasus blue and yellow, a regular earth pony that's orange with a Steadson hat and a purple dragon with green scales. They saw the boys and were in shock. "Um Pinkie? Who are they? Are they dangerous?" The yellow pony asked scared. "No Fluttershy. I assure you that they are completely harmless and not dangerous." Pinkie answered. "Pinkie I thought I told you that you can't just bring strangers in here first hand. You need to tell me about this and then we can see if they are completely harmless." The purple ailcorn said. "Sorry Twilight. I forgot. Anyways they need help getting used to Ponyville and was wondering if we can help them." Pinkie offered. "Well alright." Twilight said as she went to the boys. "So you two. What's your names?" "Hi. Im George Beard. And this my best friend Harold Hutchins." "Hey." "Well nice to meet you George and Harold. Im Twilight Sparkle." "Im Rainbow Dash! The fastest pony in all of Equestria!" "Howdy youngins my name's Applejack." "I am Rarity darlings." "Nice to meet you. Im Starlight Glimmer." "Im Spike. Twilight's assistant." "And what's your name miss?" George asked Fluttershy. "Im...Fluttershy." She said quietly. "Sorry we didn't catch that. Come again?" Harold asked. "It's Fluttershy." She squeaked. "We still can't hear you. Can you speak up?" George asked. "Sorry about that. Her name's Fluttershy. She's a little shy around new ponies or your case people." Twilight told them. "Ohh." George and Harold said in unison realizing. "So darlings. What are you doing here?" Rarity asked. "Well we were playing pranks on Melvin by controlling his invention and watching out for Mr Krupp til we got sucked in a portal and ended up here." Harold explained. "Melvin? Who's Melvin?" Twilight wondered. "And who's Mr Krupp?" Rainbow asked. "Well the boys told me that Krupp is a mean principal from their school and hates anything fun! I don't like mean grumpy pants like him!" Pinkie answered. "Yeah what she said. As for Melvin he's the teacher's pet and our personal rival. He always taddle tell on us a lot and we try playing pranks to get back at him." George responded. "You guys like pranks? Well I think we can get along just fine. Cause I like pranks too!" Rainbow smiled. "Really? That's awesome!" Harold said. "Great! But I gotta ask you this. Do you always prank this Krupp guy a lot as well as Melvin?" Rainbow wondered. "Oh yeah plenty of times. See reason why we do pranks is because Krupp always tried making Jermone Horowitz Elementary a calibrated drone like beehive. So he left us with no choice. Our pranks and practical jokes are basically the last line of defense that we have against Melvin and our terrible principal." George explained. "Well darlings I can appreciate that everyone needs a good laugh. But surely they can't be that bad." Rarity complimented. "Rarity if you saw what our school looked like you be saying a different story. It's like a prison in there." Harold told her. "Boys. If i may I wish to see if that school really was horrible and why you did those pranks." Twilight offered. "And how will you do that?" George asked. "Magic. I'll use a spell to look inside your memories and see if it was bad." Twilight explained. "Go ahead. Just don't hurt us." Harold told her. Then Twilight used her magic to look inside their memory banks and see the images of their school. And sure enough they were right. Their principal was so mean that he banned the art and music programs and forced the kids to do everything they have to do. Even the teachers were mean and didn't care one bit about helping them. Then see the boys planning pranks and jokes to get some laughter in the students. After her horn stopped glowing the boys shook their heads and groaned a little. Twilight was stunned. "Oh my. Your principal really is the worst principal in the world. If he hates fun that much then he shouldn't be principal at all." Twilight stated. "You got that right. But we try to make sure that everyone gets some laughter in. Heck we even make comic books for fun." Harold said. "You guys make comics? About what?" Spike asked. "We make them about our favorite superhero: The Amazing Captain Underpants!" George responded. "See girls most superheroes look like they fly around in their underwear. But this guy actually does! And here's something exciting. Every time we make a comic about Captain Underpants the adventure comes to life and we try to help him save the day." Harold explained. "Wow! You guys actually have adventures from your comics?! I think I have two new buddies! What adventures did you have? Tell me!" Rainbow smiled. "Well when we first hypothesized him we started with taking down an evil baby genius named Dr. Diaper, stopped an army of talking toilets, defeated a wicked wedgie woman, stopped a guy named Poopypants from wiping out laughter, we even took down a Homework Hydra and so much more." George responded. "Wowie wow! You guys are so creative that you actually defeated those villains from your comics! And that Poopypants guy sounds so funny!" Rainbow laughed. "I have to say boys that you guys had some crazy adventures from that. And Rainbow is a fan of you. How's about we give you a tour of Ponyville?" Twilight offered. "Sure. We wish to see what lies in store." Harold said. "Oh it has everything! You'll love it! Let's go girls!" Pinkie declared. So everyone headed out to show George and Harold everything Ponyville has to offer. The boys were sure going to getting along with the ponies just fine. Author's Note Time to see everything Ponyville's gotta offer boys! Chapter 3: A Ponyville TourThe ponies, Spike and the boys were walking around Ponyville to see everything that was in store for them. Many other ponies saw them and were curious about seeing two boys with the princess and her friends. "I hope you two like it here. There's so many neat things to do." Twilight said. "Where should we go first?" George asked. "How bout Sugarcube Corner? They got lots of sweets there!" Pinkie answered. "Sure thing. I could use a sugar treat right now." Harold said smiling. They all headed to Sugarcube Corner and after a few minutes they arrived at a place that was covered in sweets and looks like a gingerbread house. They went inside and saw all sorts of goodies to try. There were two ponies working at the counter. "Hello Pinkie. Nice to see you and your friends." The blue pony said. "You too Mr and Mrs Cake! Oh I have two new friends I like for you to meet. This is George and Harold." Pinkie replied. "Hey." The boys said in unison. "Nice to meet you boys. Any chance you like something here?" Mrs Cake asked. "Actually yes. We like two milkshakes. One chocolate and one strawberry please." Harold answered. "You got it. Coming right up." Mr Cake said. The Cakes got busy and prepared the boys their milkshakes. George got the chocolate one and Harold got the strawberry one. Pinkie paid them for the milkshakes as everyone left. Then they were walking to another place that they can check out while drinking the milkshakes. "Wow. Those milkshakes are pretty good. That place really makes the best sweets." Harold replied. "I'm glad you're enjoying them boys. In fact I know someplace we can head to next: my home Sweet Apple Acres." Applejack said. The gang all headed to Sweet Apple Acres where it was a big farm and a huge apple orchard. Lots of apple trees growing and George and Harold couldn't believe how much apples there were. "Wow. That is a lot of apple trees. It's no wonder why you call it Sweet Apple Acres. I almost thought you lived in a huge apple." George commented. "We may farm the apples but we don't live in a huge apple. Anyways it's just me and my sis here. Big Mac took his girlfriend on a date while Granny is taking a nap." Applejack replied. "Okay so is it just you, your sister and brother and granny in the family?" George asked. "Oh not just them. There's way more in my family. I even have a photo of them." Applejack answered as she handed them a picture. "Wow. Who knew that this family would be humongous? That's a lot of ponies." George commented. "Yes it is boys. Maybe one day you can meet them. But for now let's show you around the rest of Equestria." Applejack replied. Then everyone headed out to see what else there was to see. But as they were about to see the next thing a certain principal came out raging mad and shouted at George and Harold. "GEORGE!! HAROLD!! I'm so gonna pound you in the dirt! You're in lots of trouble when we get home!!" Krupp shouted. "Is that this Krupp guy you mentioned?" Spike worried. "Yep that's him. But don't worry girls! Watch this!" Harold said. When the two snapped their fingers Krupp completely changed. He spun around as his clothes came off as well as his wig. Then after he stopped spinning he had on only his underwear and a red cape on his back. He turned into their superhero Captain Underpants!! He was flying above them and landed on the ground smiling. "Tra la laaaaaa!!!" Captain Underpants said. "Wow! Is that this Captain Underpants guy you mentioned in your comics?" Rainbow beamed. "You bet he is! The superhero we created years ago when we first started making comics. And also took down all those villains we made in the comics." George answered. "Ok I definitely have to hang out with you two! Hey think you can make a comic with him and us taking down a villain?" Rainbow asked. "Yeah! I wanna see what comic book you can make! Can you please?" Spike begged. "Ok Spike settle down. Of course we can make a comic. But we will need pens, colored pencils, a stapler and some paper." Harold replied. "I got all that at my place! But is there anyway to reverse the transformation?" Starlight wondered. Then Pinkie took out a cup of water and splashed it on his head snapping him out of his trance turning him back into Krupp. He growled and yelled at the boys and their friends and ran off to find some place to be in and get a fresh set of clothes. The ponies did not like it when he yelled in their faces. "Honestly. He had no reason to yell at us like that." Rarity complained. "Well that's Krupp for you. And he ain't the only one who yelled at us. The other teachers are just as worse as him. So keep this in mind: you snap your fingers Krupp completely changes into Captain Underpants and if you dump water on his head he turns back into Krupp." Harold explained. "Noted. But you guys may have to do the finger snapping. We don't have hands. Just hooves. Well everyone except Spike." Twilight said. "Yeah. But anyways how about we make that comic you wanna see?" George asked. "Yeah! And if you like we can give you some ideas on what villain you want Captain Underpants to take down!" Rainbow offered. "I like that idea! Let's head to Starlight's place and get creative!" Harold answered. So everyone headed to Starlight's place and once they arrive it's time for them to create another Captain Underpants comic. With Mr Krupp he kept running deep in the forest dodging all the creatures in there til he finally reached a cave to rest and breathed heavy. "Man those two are so gonna be in big trouble when I get them! I need a way to catch them and then destroy their friendship for good!" Krupp declared. Then he found a stick that for some reason was glowing. He picked it up and examined it. "A glowing stick? I don't know what that will do but maybe I can make something with it." Krupp thought. Then he used the stick to create a strange symbol on the ground. Then a petrified dark crystal came out and a swarm of dark shadows came together and formed a tornado. Suddenly a pair of glowing green eyes and red horn appeared and stared at Krupp. "Uh...hi there shadow thing. I was wondering if you can help me catch two boys. George Beard and Harold Hutchins?" Krupp said nervously. The eyes narrowed more angry and two shadow claws came out and zapped Krupp with dark magic splitting him from his positrons and negatrons. It absorbed the negative Krupp into his body and threw the positive Krupp out of the cave while screaming in terror. Then the shadow began to take form. No longer was he a shadow but a unicorn wearing an evil king outfit. This was King Sombra. "Ahh. After a thousand years I'm finally free! And I managed to get a shadow minion. Shadow....oh what's his name? Krupp?" Sombra wondered. Then the shadow Krupp took form and went to Sombra. "Yes master?" Shadow Krupp asked. "Oh good. I heard you saying something about two boys? Why would I waste my time on them when im really focused on taking back the Crystal Empire? Tell you what. You help me take down the ponies and help me reclaim my kingdom and then MAYBE I'll consider your end of the deal." Sombra offered. "Yes Lord Sombra." Shadow Krupp said. "Wise choice. Come along minion. We got work to do." Sombra said as he chuckled evil. Meanwhile the positive Krupp recovered and saw the two evil beings planning something horrible. "Oh no. I think they are trying to take over this Crystal Empire as they said. If that's true then George and Harold are in trouble. I gotta warn them! But first I need some clothes." The positive Krupp said heading off to do his mission. Author's Note Oh no! Sombra is back! And he's got a shadow minion of Krupp. I hope the boys and their friends can stop them. Chapter 5: Sombra's PlanAt Jermone Horowitz Elementary it was quite a cloudy, gloomy day. It was everything George and Harold said. A sad place with rude teachers, harsh assessments, and no kindness at all. But since it was a Saturday all the kids were spending it at their houses resting. Then in front of the school a dark portal opened up and out came Sombra with his horn glowing as he closed it behind him and saw the building. "So this is the infamous Jermone Horowitz Elementary school. More like the Jermone Horowitz Prison. They wouldn't recognize a school if it stared them in the face. But enough about them. Let's see if I can find those teachers." Sombra said as he went in. In the school it was even worse than the outside. It was everything George and Harold said. Like a prison and a bunch of strict rules no one wanted to follow. He looked to see where the teachers were and suddenly he came to the teachers lounge and thought they were in here. "I should have known they were in there. Well let's pay them a visit." Sombra grinned as his eyes glowed green. In the teachers lounge we see four other teachers resting on the couch. They are Ms Ribble, Ms Anthrope, Mr Meaner, and Mr Rustworthy. They weren't any better than the others. In fact they were worse than Krupp. But anyways while they were resting they didn't notice that a dark cloud started to form in the room and turned into King Sombra. He stared at the teachers and grinned evil. "So these are the teachers those boys are enemies with. Perfect. Now that I have them it's time to give Shadow Krupp a few playmates." Sombra replied. Then suddenly Ms Ribble slowly started to wake up and she saw Sombra. "Who are you? What are you doing here?! I hate ponies!!" Ms Ribble said. "I'm Sombra and I am your worse nightmare! HAHAHAHA!!!" Sombra laughed. His horn started glowing and he first blasted Ms Ribble making her yell in pain as her negatrons and positrons were being separated her negative version was been absorbed into King Sombra and threw the positive one out the window. The other teachers woke up hearing that but Sombra blasted more dark magic at them and it did the same thing on them. Then Sombra summoned his new shadow minions and they stared at their master. "Welcome to the army my fellow shadows. I am your master! I created you to do my bidding!! You will obey my will and mine alone!" Sombra demanded. "Yes master." The shadows said in unison scary. "Ahh that's what I like to hear. Now listen. I want to take back the Crystal Empire and rule all of Equestria. But there's one problem. There's these two boys named George and Harold with those ponies. Both somehow made a comic hero a real hero from this." Sombra explained showing them the comic. "Do you know them?" "Yes master. They ruin our lives and disrupt the beehive the school is." The shadows said in monotone. "Ok that is just super creepy. Lemme fix that." Sombra said as he blasted a spell at them and their eyes glowed red and spoke more sinister. "Now then. Anything else you want to say? Mr Meaner is it? Got something?" Sombra asked. "There will be nothing to stop your flawless, unparalleled victory King Sombra!!" Shadow Meaner shouted. "Ahh that's much better. I like your confidence Mr Meaner. Now listen. I want you 4 to used your new shadow powers and destroy the crystal ponies and help me take the Crystal Empire back. And if you see these two specific ponies named Shining Armor and Princess Cadence....make them quake in fear." Sombra ordered. "Yes master. It will be done. But what if George and Harold bring out Captain Underpants?" Shadow Ribble asked. "Oh don't worry about them. I had the pleasure of bringing Shadow Krupp to life and he will do what it takes to rid of them for good." Sombra explained. The shadows and Sombra began laughing evil as them came out of the school and into the dark portal that Sombra opened with his new shadow minions following behind. Back in Equestria Shadow Krupp was waiting for Sombra to return and sure enough he did with his new shadows. "Master. Your back. How was the trip?" Shadow Krupp asked. "Good. And I managed to get you some playmates. But I have a special job for you." Sombra answered. "What is it master?" Shadow Krupp wondered. "I want you to plan an attack on Ponyville to keep those pesky ponies and the boys busy long enough for us to take the Crystal Empire and rule all of Equestria. Think you can do that?" Sombra explained. Shadow Krupp nodded yes giving him the answer. "Good. And while your at it make sure that you don't disappoint me. I would hate to see my first shadow minion be extinguished by the light." Sombra threatened. "Yes master. I'll eliminate them. It will be done." Shadow Krupp said as he turned into a dark cloud and zoomed straight to Ponyville. "I should hope so. Anyways. Come along shadows. We got an empire to take back. Let's get to work." Sombra said. Soon all the shadows and Sombra headed straight in the direction on the Crystal Empire and began to put their plan in motion. Can our heroes stop the shadows and Sombra? Or will be take control of Equestria? Author's Note Get ready for a battle boys! Chapter 6: The Shadow AttackBack with George and Harold they built a little stand to sell their latest comic book. They were selling it like hotcakes as ponies were taking them and were almost sold out. "Extra! Extra! Read our latest comic!!" George shouted. "Captain Underpants and the Deadly Shadows of Sombra!!" Harold announced. As they were selling their comic they saw a familiar man running towards them all scared. It was Mr Krupp! But why is he scared? "George! Harold! I'm so glad I found you!" Krupp said in relief. "Mr Krupp? What are you doing back here? And when did you started being nice? Is this a trick?" Harold asked. "No it's not a trick. But it's a long story." Krupp answered. We go back to the last chapter after Sombra separated the negatrons and positrons from Krupp. Since he was the positive one he needed to get to George and Harold since they had battles like this before. Krupp can't keep running in his boxers forever so he ran into a clothes stores and quickly got in some clothes and continued looking for the boys and that brings us to today. "So your saying that Sombra separated your negatrons and positrons meaning he took the negative Krupp and your the positive one?" George asked. "Yes. I know it sounds crazy but it's true. And not only that but he's summoning a shadow monster to take this Crystal Empire." Krupp explained. "A shadow monster?! How is he even going to do that?!" George asked scared. Then Harold realized something. "George? What if Sombra saw our comic and is planning to bring it to life but with his own ending?" They soon got their answer as they see an evil laughter coming from the shadow cloud forming into view. The minute everyone saw that they ran in fear as it blasted some evil lightning and destroyed a few houses. Then a head which looks like Krupp with glowing red eyes appeared and hissed like a snake scaring the trio. "Time to quake in fear boys!" Shadow Krupp said. "George I think that's one of Sombra's shadow minions! What do we do, what do we do, what do we do?!?!" Harold panicked. "Calm down Harold! We do what we always do when stuff like that happens. Summon Captain Underpants!" George answered. The two snapped their fingers and in no time Krupp spun around and all his clothes came off and turned into Captain Underpants! "Tra la laaaaa!!" Captain Underpants said. At the same time Twilight and her friends showed up with their Elements of Harmony on them. "Boys! What's going on here?" Twilight asked. "Twilight! Listen. We think Sombra's back and he sent one of his shadow minions to eliminate us! So we summoned Captain Underpants to try and stop that shadow!" George answered. "Well if Sombra is back and he sent that shadow then let us help you. We dealt with Sombra plenty of times and you might need all the help you can get." Rainbow offered. "Okay you can definitely help us. Now let's get that shadow creep!" George replied. "Good thinking sidekicks! The more the merrier! Now prepare to be vanquished in the light you shadow monster!" Captain Underpants declared. "Grr. Think you can stop me? Sombra will be victorious when he takes the Crystal Empire back! Let's do this!" Shadow Krupp said. Then everyone charged into battle! And when the shadow was about to attack the whole scene froze as George and Harold came in front of the readers. "Freeze! The following scenes contain stuff that may be a little violent to kids. But we can only show it using a technology known as Flip-o-rama!!" George announced. Then Harold got his notebook with the pictures for Flip-o-rama. "Okay. First the shadow cloud gave Captain Underpants the fist slam." Harold said as he flipped the page back and forth making the picture move. "Then he made an Underpants sandwich." Harold continued. "But then just as he has Captain Underpants in his grasp the ponies used their magic to blind his eyes and release him!" George replied. "Oh yes! And then Rainbow Dash flew around and around making the shadow really dizzy!" Harold said. "But the shadow shook it off and blasted some lightning at the ponies but Twilight used a shield spell to protect everyone from getting hit." George commented. "Yes. Now the shadow didn't realize it but George and Harold's plan was working. So they told Rarity, Starlight, and Twilight to combine their magic to unleash a powerful beam to eliminate the shadow." Harold announced. "And lucky for them it worked perfectly. The shadow was down but they still needed to defeat it." George said as Harold flipped the last page ending the Flip-o-rama and back to the fight scene. "What was that Flip-o-rama?!" Pinkie asked. "We'll explain later! We gotta eliminate that shadow!" Harold replied. Rarity, Starlight and Twilight were still blasting it with their magic and it was starting to weaken. But it still had strength to blast lightning at them. The ponies dodged and when Twilight blasted some magic at the shadow it hit him straight in the face as he yelled in pain clutching his eyes. "This is impossible! You can't possibly defeat me that easy! IM SOMBRA'S SHADOW MINION OF POWER!!!" Shadow Krupp said throwing a fit. "You may be Sombra's shadow minion but you like act like the real Mr Krupp. And you forgot about one thing buddy." Rainbow said. "And what's that?" Shadow Krupp asked. "That shadows are afraid of the light. And with the magic of friendship all of us including George, Harold and Captain Underpants we will vanquish the darkness and bring the light!" Twilight shouted in glory. Then she prepared her ultimate spell when she and her friends are about to vanquish a foe. They all activated the Elements and began floating in a rainbow aura. Then Twilight brought the boys in the group and once they opened their eyes a rainbow beam was blasted in the face of Shadow Krupp and covered him in the light as he began to be vanquished away into nothingness while screaming. Then he exploded into rainbow stars never to be seen again. The group came down and saw the burn marks of the defeated shadow. "We did it! We stopped the shadow!" George said. "Well done sidekicks! Now that the shadow is gone the village is safe once again!" Captain Underpants said in victory. "Not yet. George, Harold. You boys said that Sombra's back?" Starlight asked. "Yes Starlight. See we think we accidentally dropped one comic and Sombra must have seen it causing him to do everything in there. Only he's planning to take this Crystal Empire back in his own ending." Harold explained. "That's bad. We have to stop Sombra before he takes the Crystal Empire again! My brother and my sister in law are there! Who knows what chaos he'll cause!" Twilight worried. "Relax fellow princess. You can certainly count on me and my sidekicks to stop Sombra before it's too late." Captain Underpants assured. Then Spike's belly bloated and burped a message. Twilight got it and read it. Turns out it was from Celestia and she needed to see her, her friends and the boys at once. "Princess Celestia needs to see us. Let's head to Canterlot and see what she needs!" Twilight replied. "Who's Princess Celestia?" George asked. "She's the ruler of Equestria along with her sister. You'll meet them in Canterlot. Come on gang! Let's see what she needs and hopefully it's a mission to stop King Sombra!" Rainbow said. So everyone headed straight to the train station and made their way to Canterlot. The Crystal Empire is in danger again and the gang need to save it from Sombra's clutches before darkness consume the land. Author's Note Next time the boys will meet the princesses and might gain powers along with Captain Underpants to stop King Sombra! Chapter 7: Princesses and New PowersEveryone was on the train heading for Canterlot and it was taking a while to arrive. After about an hour our heroes finally arrived in Canterlot. They got off the train and headed straight for the castle. At the gate they were greeted by the guards. "Halt! State your business!" One guard asked. "Princess Celestia called for us. And as for the boys they are with us." Twilight answered. "Oh. Sorry for the inconvenience. Go on in." The other guard said. The guards let our heroes in the castle and they made their way to see the princess. Now the boys were a little confused since they never met Celestia or her sister for that matter but if she was able to help them stop Sombra then what have they got to lose? Inside the castle George and Harold admired the colored windows telling legends. Once they arrived in the throne room they were greeted by two ailcorns. One is white and a mane of blue, green and pink. She also has a sun cutie mark. She was Princess Celestia. The other is dark blue and a mane of stars. She was Luna. They smiled seeing the gang all here. "Twilight Sparkle. I'm glad you and your friends could make it." Celestia smiled. "Us too princess. Celestia I like you to meet our new friends. This is George Beard, Harold Hutchins, and their comic creation: Captain Underpants." Twilight introduced. "Your Highness." The boys said and bowed in unison. Luna giggled. "Boys. There's no need to be formal with us. Just call us Celestia and Luna." "Okay. We will keep that in mind. So you wanted to see us?" Harold asked. "Yes. First off is it true that you boys made this?" Celestia asked holding a comic with her magic. "Yes Celestia. See we made hundreds of comics over the years. Harold likes drawing the pictures and I like to tell the story." George explained. "I see. You boys certainly have a big imagination and how were you able to bring this Captain Underpants to life?" Celestia asked looking at Captain Underpants. "That's a long story. But the short version is we used a hypno ring on him and during the first battle he gained powers and that's how we really created Captain Underpants." Harold answered. "Hmm. Interesting. Anyways there's another reason why you all are here. King Sombra returned and is planning to take the Crystal Empire again. With some new shadows he has." Luna said. "Um Luna? We noticed that Sombra is back. We faced one of his shadows that he sent." George noted. "Yes. It was true. But luckily we vanished that shadow straight in the light! My sidekicks did a good job helping me." Captain Underpants agreed. "Ahh. I see your caught up then. Wonderful. Anyways I called you here because the Crystal Empire needs your help. You must stop King Sombra from taking the Empire again and vanquish his shadow minions. As for you boys you will help Twilight and her friends defeat any tough shadows that Sombra could send out." Celestia said to the boys. "But Celestia how do we help Twilight and her friends defeat any shadows that Sombra has? We faced the real creations from our previous comics before but Sombra is different than anything else we faced." George asked. "Worry not boys. Me and my sister will grant you powers to defeat King Sombra. But first I wish to see what creations from your comics you have faced." Celestia asked. "Go ahead. You can look." Harold replied. So Celestia used her magic to look inside their minds. Then she saw the visions of them first summoning Captain Underpants and stopping all sorts of crime. Starting with taking down an evil baby genius named Dr. Diaper, stopped an army of talking toilets, defeated a wicked wedgie woman, stopped a guy named Poopypants from wiping out laughter, we even took down a Homework Hydra and so much more. She smiled seeing everything and knowing their heroic deeds. "Well you boys certainly have saved your world plenty of times. And though you made those villains in your comics you know what to do when they came to life." Celestia smiled. "Yes Celestia. It has happened plenty of times and we always have Captain Underpants to help save the day." Harold replied. "You really do. Now sister? Let's grant them some powers to defeat King Sombra." Celestia told her. "Right back at you." Luna said. The two combined their magic and shot a beam of yellow and blue light at them covering their bodies. In the bloodstream we see the blood cells flexing their muscles as a way of saying that the power is kicking in. When the light died down the boys landed on the ground. Then they felt a little funny. "Ooh. I kinda feel funny after that. I wonder what powers we got?" George asked. "Why don't you find out? And Captain Underpants? That symbol on your chest is representing the day." Luna said as Captain Underpants saw the sun symbol on his chest. "Wowie! Now King Sombra will feel the light soon enough!" Captain Underpants smiled. "Now let's see what powers we got!" George said. The boys first tried flying and when they focused on their feet up they went! They flew around laughing and George placed his hands on his head created brain rings. Then he noticed two hypno rings on each middle finger. He used them on a guard placing him in a full mind control. He then snapped him out of it and the guard fell down. Then Harold tried out his powers. When he landed he suddenly ran super fast and stopped in front of the girls. Then he noticed two rainbow rings on each middle finger. He used them on the wall to create a drawing of the Wicked Wedgie Woman. And to his surprise it came to life!! Then he blasted a beam of black and white and made the drawing disappear. The boys smiled seeing what powers they got. "Wow! I got telekinesis! Sick!" George said. "And I got magic art powers! We are so ready to stop King Sombra now!" Harold replied. "You bet you are boys! Never worry Celestia! We'll stop King Sombra if it's the last thing we do!" Rainbow responded. "I'm glad to hear that. Now go to the Crystal Empire and stop King Sombra. They are your only hope." Celestia said. The gang heard her command and headed out the door and began their mission. Then as they got out the door Rarity had an idea. She used her magic to give the boys different costumes. George had a suit with a science symbol on his chest and a helmet he was wearing on his face. Harold was wearing a rainbow suit and cape with sunglasses and a color wheel symbol on his chest. "Oh yeah! Now here REALLY ready to stop King Sombra!" George said. "Thanks for the costumes Rarity!" George thanked. "Anytime darlings. Now let's head to the Crystal Empire!" Rarity announced. "Right you are Rarity! It's time to vanquish some shadows and take down it's king! Come sidekicks! Let's save the day!! Tra la laaaa!!" Captain Underpants agreed and flew off. Since George and Harold can fly too they took to the sky followed Captain Underpants. Then Rainbow and Fluttershy decided to fly with them while the others took the train following them to the Crystal Empire where they will face the evil King Sombra. Can they stop him? Or will the Crystal Empire be covered in dark shadow? Author's Note Get ready for the battle! Stay tuned. Chapter 8: The Battle of Light and Dark.Our heroes were still on the train heading to the Crystal Empire while the pegasi, George, Harold, and Captain Underpants were flying to the empire. After an hour or two they arrived. Our heroes went in the direction til they saw the Crystal Empire. But once they arrived they saw four shadows summoning minions and causing chaos. George and Harold instantly knew what was going on. "Oh no. Sombra was busy while we were fighting Shadow Krupp." Harold said. "He sure was. Now we gotta find him and stop his shadowy plans." George replied. "Right back at you boys. Let's go kick his butt back in the darkness!" Rainbow declared and flew off. The others followed behind and tried catching up to Rainbow. At the Crystal Empire Sombra had his four shadows doing his evil bidding. The shadows shot lightning at various houses and even did a few evil homework spells. Just like back at Jermone Horowitz Elementary they always to force homework on the kids. Sombra laughed evil seeing all the evil work they were doing. Suddenly he saw the gang heading his way and smirked. "So the ponies wanna play huh? Well then let's play!!" Sombra said turning into shadow and headed for them. The gang saw everything that was going on and once they saw the dark cloud above them they knew who it was. Then the cloud came down and formed back into King Sombra. He smiled evil at them. "Well, well, well. If it isn't Twilight and her friends. I see you brought the boys too. And in ridiculous costumes for that matter." Sombra laughed. "Stand down Sombra! Or we'll bring you to the light!" George replied. "Oh really? And how you gonna do that? Oh that's right. Nothing!!!" Sombra threatened. He instantly regret saying that as Harold used his rainbow rings and created a Shining Love Blaster 3000 and shot Sombra in the face. He yelled in pain from that and George flew around in circles making him dizzy. Sombra shook his head and saw Captain Underpants take out a fresh pair of underwear and glowed brightly and aimed at Sombra hitting him in the face again. He laid on the ground and groaned as he picked himself up. "Grr. Okay. I didn't expect you to actually have powers. But even so you cannot stop me. Minions assemble!!!" Sombra shouted as his shadow minions came. "Hah! What are your shadows gonna do Sombra? They can't even fight like Shadow Krupp who lost pathetically!" Rainbow smirked. "Oh really? You may have mastered being a small villain but can you handle a giant one?" Sombra thought. His horn glowed and he blasted a beam of dark magic and shocked his four shadows transforming them into a monster. The shadows started to merge into one and when the cloud got bigger it started to form into a hydra monster with the heads hissing like snakes! Then Sombra opened a portal and took out a copy machine and blasted a beam of dark magic making it come apart and onto the hydra. Once the transformation was done the hydra roared at the heroes. "HAHAHAHAHAHA!! How do you like my new pet? Meet the Shadow Hydra!! And guess what boys? It's like the Homework Hydra. But scary!!" Sombra told the boys. "Stand down Sombra!! It's time to vanquish you into the light and end your reign of darkness for good!" Captain Underpants said with courage. "Oh okay. Tell you what you giant baby with a cape on. Beat my Shadow Hydra and find me in the Crystal Empire. Then we'll see who's really a hero." Sombra challenged. "Your on Sombra! Get ready for a fight of light and dark!" Twilight declared. "Oh I'm really scared! Well good luck. Shadow Hydra! Take them out!!" Sombra ordered as he turned into shadow and headed for the throne room of the Crystal Empire. The hydra growled at the heroes and they got in battle positions ready to fight it. "Time to read 9 books tonight!!" Shadow Ribble yelled. "When were done we'll force you to do 500 word problems by tomorrow!!" Shadow Rustworthy growled. "And you'll be running a thousand laps once your down and out!" Shadow Meaner said. "Not happening Shadow Hydra! You won't force these innocent boys to do your homework slavery and stuff they don't like!" Spike yelled. "Yeah and as their friends we will fight you and stop Sombra!" Starlight shouted. "Really now? Ok. Then let's do this!!" Shadow Anthrope declared. Suddenly all the homework weapons started to be activated and once all of them were ready the hydra growled and our heroes were ready to fight. The hydra roared and everyone charged into battle but before the fight can begin the whole scene froze as George and Harold in their costumes came to the readers. "Freeze! Now like the last chapter the following scenes your about see are going to be a little violent and expensive that we can only show them using the technology known as Flip-o-rama!!" Harold replied. So he got the notebook ready for Flip-o-rama. "Ok so the battle started with the hydra giving Captain Underpants the foot." George replied making the pictures move by flipping the page back and forth. "Then Harold used his Shining Love Blaster 3000 to blind Shadow Ribble's eyes." Harold said. "But then the hydra covered him in many sheets of paper." George continued. "Captain Underpants and Starlight got Harold out of all the paper and blasted lots of magic at the hydra!" Harold replied. "But then the hydra shot pencils at the other ponies making them scared." Harold continued. "Luckily George used his hypno rings and made them go back at the hydra." George replied. "The battle lasted for a while but our heroes wouldn't give up. So they kept on fighting the hydra and to keep things dramatic they were getting a little tired." Harold said. "Then they were almost out of options to stop the hydra but Captain Underpants shot a glowing pair of underwear and it Shadow Meaner in the face." George replied. Then after he flipped the last page it ended the Flip-o-rama. "You still didn't tell me what the Flip-o-rama was!" Pinkie yelled. "It's something we have to tell the readers when something violent is happening! It's a friendly way to show the action! Now let's finish off the hydra!" Harold explained. "Okie dokie!" Pinkie agreed. The hydra was still going at it and our heroes were now having trouble trying to think of another idea to stop it then when Captain Underpants and the boys used a laser beam Shadow Ribble saw it and chased after it tying a knot into the others. "Boys did she just chased a laser?" Applejack wondered. "She sure did! And we have an idea! Teachers love chasing lasers as they love homework. So we'll just distract them with lasers and once the hydra is down we'll bring it into the light!!" Harold explained. "That's a great idea boys! Alright girls! Let's put on a laser show!" Twilight declared. So everyone put their plan in action as the unicorns created different laser beams for the heads to chase around and while they did that the boys used their powers to help the ponies. Harold used his rainbow rings to create a giant pool of rainbow paint and Captain Underpants flashed his eyes making the hydra blind and yell in pain. The heads of Ribble and Anthrope still chased the lasers not noticing the pool behind them. And once it was on the edge Applejack used all her strength and bucked it into the pool. When it got out it was covered in paint. It tried shooting some lightning but the boys dodged. Then Harold used his Shining Love Blaster 3000 and once it hit all the ponies they actived their Magic of Friendship spell and covered the hydra as it began to vanish into thin air. All that was left was the heads and they were cracking and light came out. "NOO!!!!" The teachers shouted and exploded into rainbow stars. Everyone came down panting heavy seeing the hydra defeated. "We did. We stopped Sombra's hydra! But it ain't over yet. We still gotta face the dark king himself and save the Crystal Empire!" Captain Underpants noted. "Your right. Come on gang. Let's stop King Sombra." Twilight said. "Tra la laaaa!" Captain Underpants said as he and the boys flew to the throne room. The others followed behind him and knew the final battle was approaching. Can they stop King Sombra or will the darkness consume the Crystal Empire? We'll find out soon enough. Author's Note Get ready for the ultimate showdown! Chapter 9: The Artistic Trio vs The Shadow KingOur heroes finally got to the Crystal Empire and entered the throne room where they see Sombra in Shining's throne. He has kept Shining Armor and Cadence trapped in a crystal cage. "Ok King Sombra. Time to give up the crown!!" Rainbow shouted. "Haha. You came here to fight me with nothing but your wits? Clever. But foolish!" Sombra remarked. Then the boys came in and flew above Sombra getting in battle positions ready to take him down. "Who are they?" Shining Armor asked. "Fear not good sir! For we will stop Sombra and save you and everyone on a piping hot platter of freedom! With a side order of liberty and a cup sized order of justice!" Captain Underpants said with heroism. "This is George, Harold and Captain Underpants! They'll save you guys! And we'll help too!" Twilight replied. "Oh so these three buffoons think they can stop me? I will give you credit for stopping my hydra but your not strong enough to stop me! So let's do this!!" Sombra growled. He began transforming into a shadow monster as claws came out of the cloud and his head was out too with glowing green eyes and a red horn. He growled at the trio and roared loud pushing them back but held their ground. Then they headed to Sombra and when he jumped up he came down and roared ready to attack. But the whole scene froze again as George and Harold came to the readers one last time. "Freeze! I know we said this twice i promise that this is the last one. So as you know the following scenes contain stuff that may be a little violent to kids. But we can only show it using a technology known as Flip-o-rama!!" George announced. Then Harold got his notebook with the pictures for Flip-o-rama. "Okay. So Sombra covered the heroes in shadow scaring them." Harold said as he flipped the page back and forth making the picture move. "Then he made a hero sandwich." Harold continued. "And they played a game of Dodge the Red Lightning." George said. "Yes. And the heroes had enough and used their powers to try and weaken Sombra so they can free Cadence and Shining Armor." Harold replied. "But Sombra had other tricks up his sleeve and tired out the boys." George told them. "The ponies realized that they need help big time. So Twilight used her magic to heal them back at full strength and she along with her friends joined them in taking Sombra down!" Harold said. "And they were gaining the upper hand but Sombra wouldn't back down. So they realized that they need to find his weak spot to destroy him." George said as Harold flipped the last page ending the Flip-o-rama and back to the fight scene. "That was the quickest Flip-o-rama I've ever seen! Now help us out boys!" Starlight shouted. "Gotcha Starlight! Let's go!" Harold said flying high and heading to Sombra. The fight was still going as Captain Underpants shot glowing underwear at him hitting in the face. "Eww! That's gross!" Sombra said disgusted. "Oh there's more where that came from!" Captain Underpants said shooting more underwear. Sombra then blasted red lightning at Captain Underpants but he dodged them Harold came in front of him and spun around in a rainbow circle making him dizzy. Them he used his rainbow rings to create a Guardian of pure light and commanded it to attack Sombra. The guardian obeyed and with a little help from George using his hypno rings they took out both his hands when Sombra tried to squash them but the Guardian grabbed his hands and blasted two beams of light instantly destroying them. Sombra shouted in pain when that happened. "You vile little brats! You'll pay for this!" Sombra shouted in rage as he charged at them. Captain Underpants shot another pair of glowing underwear at him and he growled blasting red lightning at the boys but they dodged. "Okay. Enough playing around! Time to show you some REAL fear! By killing your friends!" Sombra sneered. He then aimed at the girls and blasted red lightning at them. But before it could hit George used his hypno rings to mind control Sombra and forced the lighting to hit him back and once it did he yelled in pain as the lighting became unstable and exploded causing Sombra to revert back to his true form. He laid on the ground all tired and scared. "How is this possible?! Your powers can't defeat mine! I PLANNED ALL THIS TO DESTROY YOU!!!" Sombra shouted throwing a fit. "You may have planned this from our comic Sombra but you forgot one thing." Harold replied. "And what's that you brats?" Sombra asked. "That Captain Underpants will always foil your plans. And we happened to know from the very first day we were here that friendship really is magic!" George answered. The ponies smiled seeing them understanding the lesson everyone knows. "For our friends." George started. "For all that is pre shrunk and cottony!" Captain Underpants continued. "For the freedom of the Crystal Ponies!" Harold finished. "For Equestria!!" The boys said in unison. "Ladies! It's time to shine a light on thee!" Captain Underpants declared. The ponies nodded in agreement and everyone came together to perform the ultimate spell of friendship. They held hands, floated above the ground and opened their eyes activating the power. Then a giant comic fist of pure rainbow light came to Sombra as he screamed seeing it and covered him in the light vanquishing him into nothingness and ridding the dark crystals freeing Cadence and Shining Armor and restoring peace to the Crystal Empire. The gang all hugged them knowing their safe. "Twily! Thank you for saving us and the Crystal Empire!" Shining smiled. "Thanks Shining. But we couldn't have done it without our friends." Twilight said pointing to George, Harold and Captain Underpants as they the kids took off their headwear. Cadence came to them smiling and the boys bowed in respect. "Thank you boys. For saving the Crystal Empire from King Sombra and helping Twilight. We are so grateful to you." Cadence responded. "Your welcome your highness. Me and my sidekicks did a good job protecting you. Now no more shadows will be lurking around." Captain Underpants replied. "And we thank you for that. We have to do something special for you guys." Shining smiled. Then Shining and Cadence went to the girls and planned out a special surprise for the boys. What will it be? Well find out the surprise soon enough. Author's Note Sombra is no more!! Prepare for the final chapter to see the surprise! Chapter 10: A New Home and A New LifeOutside the Crystal Empire we see all the ponies in their fancy clothing enjoying a party. Even the boys were wearing some fancy clothes themselves. And Harold wore a tie! Captain Underpants was getting some autographs from some ponies who appreciated being saved by him and his sidekicks. Even Princess Celestia arrived at the occasion. After a few minutes Cadence and her husband came to the stand to prepare the speech. "Ponies of the Empire. We thank you for joining us here on this occasion. Today we are here to congratulate three new heroes that saved the Empire." Cadence started. "Since a few years ago we still remember the day that Spike saved the Empire and we still know him as a hero. Then when Sombra returned a beacon of light shined and three new heroes came to save the day. So every pony please welcome our saviors who will receive not one but two surprises. Give it up for George Beard, Harold Hutchins, and their comic creation Captain Underpants." Shining finished. Everyone applauded as the boys came to the stand and started to say a few words. "Thank you Shining. Hi. I'm George Beard, and this is my best friend Harold Hutchins." George started. "Hey there." "See like Shining said we did take down Sombra. But before all that we were just two 1st graders at school with the worst principal in the world. And back home we only had our defense of pranks and practical jokes against him." George said. "But then all that changed when we got transported here. At first we had no idea where we were but thanks to our new friends The Mane Seven and Spike they helped us get used to Equestria." Harold continued as they smiled. "And it turns out we made more friends than one here. Everyone is so nice like we belong here. And when Sombra returned there was no way we were gonna let him cover the Empire in shadow." George stated. "But we couldn't done it without help from our friends. So we just like to say thank you guys. Thank you so much for all you done." Harold concluded. Everyone applauded as Celestia and Luna came to the stand. "Thanks for the speech boys. And we have something special for you. For your bravery of standing side by side with Twilight and her friends you will have these for the Crystal Empire to remember you by." Celestia said. Cadence and Shining took down a huge cover relieving three crystal statues of them and Captain Underpants next to Spike's. The crowd cheered as the boys stared in awe. The statues had them in their superhero costumes and in poses. The boys turned to face the princesses. "Thank you Celestia. That means a lot." George smiled. "Your welcome boys." Celestia said to them. "And there's something else. Since you boys were showing friendship to Twilight and everyone else we decided that you'll have new lives here in Equestria. And the girls made you a new place to stay. As for Captain Underpants he will be with us training for any upcoming battles." Luna added. "Really? That's cool and I wonder what the new place is?" Harold asked. "Put these blindfolds on and we'll show you guys." Pinkie answered. They did what Pinkie told them to do and placed the blindfolds on their eyes and followed them the direction the girls were guiding them. Captain Underpants waved goodbye to the boys as Celestia and Luna took him to their castle. With the girls they finally arrived at the location and Starlight got ready to surprise them. "Ok guys take them off." Starlight encouraged. George and Harold took off their blindfolds and to their surprise they saw a huge tree house in a crystal tree! The tree house was much bigger and more detailed than their old one. It was spray painted with pictures of Captain Underpants and also had the Treehouse Comics Inc logo on the attic window. It even had a slide to go down! They were sure surprised seeing this. "Wow! Is that a treehouse?! It looks so cool!" Harold asked. "You bet it is boys. We took the time to build this especially for you. And wait til you see the inside." Twilight said. The boys were giddy as George pulled a rope to bring down the ladder and climbed it. Once inside it was everything they can imagine. There was a couch to relax on and a TV to watch, A cabinet filled with treats for the boys to snack on, A soda pusher to get any soda they want, A work desk to makes as many comics they want, A closet with their pajamas and clothes and finally a bedroom with two beds: one with their superhero symbol so they know who's bed is which. "Oh my word! This is so much nicer in here! So you girls made this for us?" Harold asked. "You bet boys. Since you saved the Crystal Empire from Sombra's clutches we figure that you should stay with us in Equestria. And what better way than to make you a treehouse." Rainbow smiled. "Thanks girls. I'm sure were gonna enjoy our new life in Equestria." George smiled. "I bet you will. Well enjoy your tree house boys. If you need us use that red button and we'll be there." Twilight said pointing to the red button and she and her friends left to give the boys some time to explore the new treehouse. "I gotta say those girls really are friendly. Well I don't know about you but I'm tuckered out from today. Let's get some rest for tomorrow." George said. "Right you are George." Harold said as the two changed into their cozy pajamas. George had purple ones while Harold had the green ones. The both crawled into their beds and fell asleep into dreamland. The next day we see the sun rising and the boys got up and started to sing. Cause today was Saturday!! https://m. The two danced around and sang along to the song. Once the song was over they posed and the sun shined bright on them. "So George? What should we do on this bright sunny day?" Harold asked. "Well I was thinking maybe we go visit Twilight and the girls." George answered. "That is a great idea! Come on!" Harold said as the two got dressed and headed out to visit Twilight and her friends. The two spent their Saturday doing everything with Twilight and the girls. First thing they did this morning is have breakfast with them and while Twilight was reading a book George and Harold created another comic called 'Captain Underpants and the Wrath of the Wicked Wedgie Woman.' Next they hung out with Rainbow Dash in doing some awesome stuff in becoming a Wonderbolt. Then they were with Rarity trying on some jazzy outfits for any special occasions that might happen in the future. Then they were with Fluttershy taking care of the cute bunnies that need food and water. And finally they were at Starlight's place meeting her friend Sunburst and getting to know him better. Needless to say it was a great Saturday. The two headed back to their new treehouse and changed into their cozy pajamas pajamas again, grabbed a cookie and A glass of grape soda and looked at the night sky. "Ahh. Now this a peaceful night. And Harold? I'm so glad were staying in Equestria." George commented. "Me too. Everyone is so nice here and we have more friends than ever. Not to mention that I love having Rainbow Dash as our best friend." Harold replied. "Yep. Well this was a great Saturday. Let's get some sleep for the next day and in the future we'll be living the dream." George smiled. "Okay George. Night bud." Harold said. "Night man." The two crawled into their beds and soon enough they fell fast asleep smiling and dreaming about what their new lives in Equestria will be. And that brings our story to it's happy conclusion. Hope you enjoyed the crossover of the amazing Captain Underpants. Author's Note I hope you liked it. And George and Harold learned that friendship really is magic. Chapter 4: Captain Underpants and the Deadly Shadows of Sombra (Comic Version)Back with the gang they finally arrived at Starlight's place and the boys got everything they need to make their latest comic book. Rainbow couldn't be more excited to see the comic when it was finished. "So boys. I got a few ideas for you. How's about Captain Underpants face Queen Chrysalis?" Rainbow offered. "Nah. Maybe something more scary looking." Harold replied. "Ooh I got it! How about Captain Underpants face King Sombra? He's scary and we beat him twice!" Rainbow asked. "Hmm. That could work. What do you think George?" Harold asked. "That sounds perfect. If we have a picture of what this King Sombra looks like we can totally do that!" George answered and Pinkie popped out and gave them a picture of King Sombra. "Here you go. I always carry pictures. In case of picture emergencies." Pinkie said as she disappeared. "Thanks. How on earth is she doing this crazy stuff?" Harold asked. "It's Pinkie Pie darlings. I know it's confusing but it's better not to question her. You'll get used to it." Rarity responded. "Okay?" The boys said in unison all confused. "Let's work on the comic." George said. The two agreed and got started on the comic. See George likes to write the story on every comic they do and Harold likes to draw the pictures that puts the story together like a puzzle. Page after page they continued to work on the comic til eventually they reached the last page. When they did they put all the pages in the right order telling the whole story from beginning to end. Then they stapled it together making it whole. And with a little help from Twilight she used a spell to make copies of the comic. With her friends they were hanging out with each other til the trio came in the room with lots of copies of the comic. "Whoa. You boys sure were mighty busy. Did you make all those copies?" Applejack asked. "Actually we made one comic. Twilight gave us some help by cloning the comic. Anyways you guys wanna read this?" George asked. "You kidding? Of course we do! Let's see it!" Rainbow said. "Ok. Feast your eyes on our newest edition!" George commented as he gave everyone a copy of the comic. "We call it...Captain Underpants and The Deadly Shadows of Sombra!" Harold replied. "That is so cool!" Rainbow said as she saw the cover of Captain Underpants fighting alongside with the ponies taking down Sombra and his shadow minions of the boys teachers. "Please read it please!!!" Pinkie begged. "Ok Pinkie. We will. Let's begin." Harold said as everyone opened up the comic and started the story. And so begins the story on the comic the boys worked on. (Plus yellow will be Harold and brown is George. Now let's read!) In the comic "It was a lovely day at Jermone Horowitz Elementary. Well on the outside. The inside not so much." Harold started. "Inside was like a prison. Rude teachers, boring lectures, and no kindness. Then when things couldn't be more boring they all had to sit through a boring invention presentation." George continued. "Then during the presentation something was happening. An eerie shadow leaked through the invention and formed into an evil unicorn king named Sombra." Harold said ominously. "HAHAHA!! Greetings you fools! I am King Sombra! So you kids wanna have some fun? Then let's have some REAL, SCARY, FUN!!!!" George said pretending to be Sombra. "Sombra flashed a giant pair of glowing green eyes and put all the kids under his fear control making them see their worst fears. He even did it on the guy giving the presentation! Then he went to the teachers lounge and placed them under a different spell separating their negatrons from positrons." George commented. "And now to use my shadow minions for my personal needs! First ill take over this pathetic school and then take over THE WORLD!!!" Harold said pretending to be Sombra. "Then in a matter of minutes Sombra took control of the school and used the shadows of the teachers and formed them into a giant cloud of shadow with only their heads out hissing like snakes!" Harold replied. "HAHAHA!! Now all of the world will bow in fear and I'll be the new ruler of them all!!!" George said pretending to be Sombra. "Oh no! This looks like a job for..." Spike narrated while reading. "Captain Underpants!!!" The ponies said in unison. "So Sombra and Captain Underpants charged into battle! Sombra tried blasting him with his beams of dark magic but he dodged. He turned into shadow and flew above him in the air. Captain Underpants chased after him and tried punching him but it went through him." George started out. "Your a slow learner aren't you? You cannot hit a shadow. But it can hit you!" Harold said pretending to be Sombra. "Sombra then punched Captain Underpants and he crashed on the ground. He then tried different ideas for stopping him but nothing worked. Then out of the blue a group of different ponies came and helped him back on his feet." Harold replied. "Then the kids told them that the only way to take a shadow is to make it see the light. So Captain Underpants distracted the shadow monster as it followed him leading into a trap. Then when it was in the sun the monster screamed in pain as the sun hurt it's eyes and the ponies using their magic of friendship made the monster explode releasing a wave breaking everyone from his control." George said. "NO!!!! This can't be! I had you in the palm of my hooves!!" George said pretending to be Sombra. "You may had your fun in the dark. But you forget about one thing Sombra. Whenever there's dark there will always be light!" Spike narrated pretending to be Captain Underpants. "Then the kids took out a powerful potion of light magic and threw it at Sombra and once the ponies used the magic and hit the potion on Sombra he groaned in agony and exploded into nothingness. And so once again the day was saved again all thanks to Captain Underpants and his new friends!! The End." Harold concluded. Out of the comic Everyone closed the comic and applauded for George and Harold. "Wowie! Best! Comic! EVER!!!" Pinkie cheered. "Yeah I love this! Take that King Sombra! Though I'm certainly sure that our friendship magic will defeat him much faster if he comes here!" Rainbow smiled. "Ooh careful what you wish for Rainbow. But were glad you like it. Now let's get these copies sold so we have some cash in our pockets." Harold replied. "Ok. And is it okay if we keep these copies you gave us for ourselves?" Spike wondered. "Sure thing Spike. We'll be outside if you need us." George said. The two boys got their copies and headed outside to sell them for bits. But they didn't realize that a certain shadow king was watching them from the bushes. "So those are the boys huh? Hmm. I really don't get why Krupp wants to rid of them." Sombra wondered. Then he saw one copy drop out of the boys hands and quickly snatched it and went back to the cave looking to see if no one saw him. "Whoo. I'm good. Now let's see what this is. Captain Underpants and the Deadly Shadows of Sombra? Is this supposed to be about me?" Sombra asked. He then opened up the comic and began reading it. Shadow Krupp appeared and overheard him reading and grew angry and shouted in rage. Sombra heard that and plugged his mouth with a rock. "Shut up! Why don't you be quiet?!" Sombra shouted and continued reading. After a few minutes he closed the comic and took a deep breath and then spoke. "Well I will admit that this George and Harold are certainly the creative type. But what they don't know is that i'll be writing my OWN ending. And that is take over Equestria and reclaim my empire!! But I may need some extra hooves or in this case hands." Sombra said. Then he remembered something in the comic he read. He turned to the page that had the shadow monster and then he got an idea as a wicked smile formed on his face. "So they have other enemies besides you huh Shadow Krupp?" Sombra said as he nodded yes. "Well then. I think I should pay them a little visit and see if I can convince them to destroy Ponyville. Maybe I'll even summon that same monster to take the Crystal Empire. Yes. That's exactly what I'll do." Sombra smiled evil as his eyes glowed green. Author's Note Sombra's coming. Better watch out.
Chapter 1: The Start of Friendship.In the beginning of this amazing story we see two boys walking to school. One was a brown skin boy with a flat top and a tie. The other was white skinned and a bad haircut. They are George Beard and Harold Hutchins. Remember that now. Anyways they were heading inside their elementary school and love to pull pranks to make everyone laugh. But they had to watch out for their mean principal: Mr Krupp. And he hates anything fun. Anywho they were in their science class and the teacher was bored til they heard the speaker. "Attention everyone. Principal Krupp here with an announcement. This Saturday is the mandatory Invention Convention. So be here with your inventions at 8am. And no complaints!!" Krupp announced. Everyone groaned at that except for Melvin Sneedly who is supposedly the teacher's pet. They all headed out in hopes on enjoying the weekend but George and Harold had other plans. "Hey George. I got an idea." Harold replied. "Okay lemme hear it man." George said. "What im thinking is that we can mess around with one of Melvin's inventions so that way everyone will get a good laugh out after hours of boring talk." Harold answered. "Good idea. Let's do it." George responded. So the two headed their way to the gymnasium and saw a lot of Melvin's inventions. Now putting on a simple prank was one thing. But since they wanted the whole school laughing they needed to choose one invention to mess around with. "How bout the Lint Collector?" George asked. "Nah we need something bigger. Like......ooh that one. The Other Dimensionater." Harold said pointing at a special machine with a portal blaster in it. "Perfect. Let's build us a remote to control that machine." George responded. So the two got out their supplies and got to work. They took the mechanism and data from the Other Dimensionater and quickly built a mini remote to control it. Then they rushed out of the building and headed home so Krupp wouldn't catch them. Saturday came and sure enough it was cloudy and gray. Everyone walked all gloomy and sad into the school like zombies. They really didn't want to be there but Krupp gave them no choice. "All right everyone. Since were here we can begin. Now on to Melvin Sneedly who will demonstrate all 18 inventions he built. Take it away." Krupp said as he gave Melvin the mic. "I will now demonstrate something I call The Robotic Sock Matcher. Never again with you waste time matching your socks." Melvin said as he demonstrated his invention which matched his sock. Hours went by and everyone was bored out of their minds. They can't stand hearing Melvin talking. But luckily George and Harold had their remote all ready for their prank to work. After Melvin finished demonstrating the 16 inventions he had he went to the Other Dimensionater. "And now people feast your eyes on this. The Other Dimensionater!! This puppy right here can take me to other dimensions and see other things no human could have. Allow me to demonstrate." Melvin responded. He pressed the button which actived the Other Dimensionater and prepared a portal. Then right on cue George pushed the button on the remote and caused the Other Dimensionater to go crazy. It played some music and started opening different portals to different worlds. Krupp saw this and worried. "Melvin turn that off!" Krupp demanded. "Im trying sir but it's not cooperating!" Melvin responded. Then suddenly the portal in the center of the Other Dimensionater became unstable and started to vacuum up everything. The students all grabbed on to something to prevent them from being sucked in. But George and Harold didn't find anything to hang on to and got sucked in. So did Krupp! They all screamed in the portal til they reached the light on the other end. The portal reopened and George and Harold came out and landed on the ground. Krupp came out too and hit his head on a tree and was knocked out cold. They saw him and placed him in a wagon they found and the boys looked around seeing the new surroundings in front of them. "George? Where are we?" Harold asked. "I don't know buddy. But if I had to guess I say we're in a village of some sort." George answered. "And is it weird that everyone is a pony here?" Harold wondered as they saw a lot of ponies enjoying their day. "I guess so. But maybe someone can tell us where we are." George thought. The two nodded in agreement and headed off trying to find out where they are. They kept walking til they ran into a pink pony with a pink mane and tale. "Yike! Who are you?" asked the pony. "Sorry miss we were...." "Oh oh oh! Lemme guess! You're the two pranksters George and Harold and you're wondering where you are!!" The pony smiled. The boys stared in shock as they tried to process what she said knowing they're names. "Uh yes. We are George and Harold. How on earth did you know that?" Harold asked. "Just a hunch. My name's Pinkie Pie! And I love making new friends!" Pinkie said as she saw Krupp's unconscious body in the wagon. "Is he a friend too?" "Um I wouldn't call him a friend. See that guy is the worst principal in the world. Mr Krupp." George explained. "Mean old Mr Krupp. He hates anything fun. Like comic books, recess, Christmas, even animals." Harold finished. "WHAT?!? He hates anything fun?!" Pinkie shouted. "Yeah Pinkie. But please don't shout. Were right here." George responded. "Sorry. But I don't like any pony that hates fun. Lemme fix that." Pinkie told them. She took out her party cannon, placed Krupp in it and blasted him far into a building where he crashed into a house but was still unconscious. Back with the trio the boys were shocked at the cannon. "Where did you get that cannon?" Harold asked. "I always carry it with me. In case of cannon emergencies." Pinkie said putting it in her hair. "Uh and how did you stuff that in your hair? Actually I rather not know. Where are we?" George asked. "Your in Equestria silly! More specifically Ponyville." Pinkie answered. "Okay so were in Ponyville. Good to know. Is there anything or anyone that can help us out around the place?" Harold wondered. "Yes! Why don't you meet my friends? They can help you get used to Ponyville!" Pinkie offered. "Well considering we'll be here a awhile I say we have no other option. Alright let's go meet your friends." George responded. "Great! Come on boys!" Pinkie said in excitement. So George and Harold followed Pinkie to meet her friends. Since they will have to get used to Ponyville they need all the info they can get. Author's Note Time for a crossover with Captain Underpants!!!
Chapter 2: A Pony GreetingThe trio were still walking til they saw a castle in the shape of a tree covered in purple crystals. George and Harold were staring at it in awe seeing a beautiful sight. "Wow! Look at this! It's like a tree! A beautiful tree!" Harold complimented. "Im glad you like it. That's only the outside. Wait till you see the inside and fun fact: one of my friends lives in there." Pinkie responded. The boys smiled as they all went inside the castle. They looked around seeing all sorts of books like a library. Only this one is more tidy and clean unlike the one they had in their school. They went in a room where 6 other ponies and a dragon were discussing something. The ponies were an ailcorn and 2 regular unicorns white and light purple and lavender, 2 pegasus blue and yellow, a regular earth pony that's orange with a Steadson hat and a purple dragon with green scales. They saw the boys and were in shock. "Um Pinkie? Who are they? Are they dangerous?" The yellow pony asked scared. "No Fluttershy. I assure you that they are completely harmless and not dangerous." Pinkie answered. "Pinkie I thought I told you that you can't just bring strangers in here first hand. You need to tell me about this and then we can see if they are completely harmless." The purple ailcorn said. "Sorry Twilight. I forgot. Anyways they need help getting used to Ponyville and was wondering if we can help them." Pinkie offered. "Well alright." Twilight said as she went to the boys. "So you two. What's your names?" "Hi. Im George Beard. And this my best friend Harold Hutchins." "Hey." "Well nice to meet you George and Harold. Im Twilight Sparkle." "Im Rainbow Dash! The fastest pony in all of Equestria!" "Howdy youngins my name's Applejack." "I am Rarity darlings." "Nice to meet you. Im Starlight Glimmer." "Im Spike. Twilight's assistant." "And what's your name miss?" George asked Fluttershy. "Im...Fluttershy." She said quietly. "Sorry we didn't catch that. Come again?" Harold asked. "It's Fluttershy." She squeaked. "We still can't hear you. Can you speak up?" George asked. "Sorry about that. Her name's Fluttershy. She's a little shy around new ponies or your case people." Twilight told them. "Ohh." George and Harold said in unison realizing. "So darlings. What are you doing here?" Rarity asked. "Well we were playing pranks on Melvin by controlling his invention and watching out for Mr Krupp til we got sucked in a portal and ended up here." Harold explained. "Melvin? Who's Melvin?" Twilight wondered. "And who's Mr Krupp?" Rainbow asked. "Well the boys told me that Krupp is a mean principal from their school and hates anything fun! I don't like mean grumpy pants like him!" Pinkie answered. "Yeah what she said. As for Melvin he's the teacher's pet and our personal rival. He always taddle tell on us a lot and we try playing pranks to get back at him." George responded. "You guys like pranks? Well I think we can get along just fine. Cause I like pranks too!" Rainbow smiled. "Really? That's awesome!" Harold said. "Great! But I gotta ask you this. Do you always prank this Krupp guy a lot as well as Melvin?" Rainbow wondered. "Oh yeah plenty of times. See reason why we do pranks is because Krupp always tried making Jermone Horowitz Elementary a calibrated drone like beehive. So he left us with no choice. Our pranks and practical jokes are basically the last line of defense that we have against Melvin and our terrible principal." George explained. "Well darlings I can appreciate that everyone needs a good laugh. But surely they can't be that bad." Rarity complimented. "Rarity if you saw what our school looked like you be saying a different story. It's like a prison in there." Harold told her. "Boys. If i may I wish to see if that school really was horrible and why you did those pranks." Twilight offered. "And how will you do that?" George asked. "Magic. I'll use a spell to look inside your memories and see if it was bad." Twilight explained. "Go ahead. Just don't hurt us." Harold told her. Then Twilight used her magic to look inside their memory banks and see the images of their school. And sure enough they were right. Their principal was so mean that he banned the art and music programs and forced the kids to do everything they have to do. Even the teachers were mean and didn't care one bit about helping them. Then see the boys planning pranks and jokes to get some laughter in the students. After her horn stopped glowing the boys shook their heads and groaned a little. Twilight was stunned. "Oh my. Your principal really is the worst principal in the world. If he hates fun that much then he shouldn't be principal at all." Twilight stated. "You got that right. But we try to make sure that everyone gets some laughter in. Heck we even make comic books for fun." Harold said. "You guys make comics? About what?" Spike asked. "We make them about our favorite superhero: The Amazing Captain Underpants!" George responded. "See girls most superheroes look like they fly around in their underwear. But this guy actually does! And here's something exciting. Every time we make a comic about Captain Underpants the adventure comes to life and we try to help him save the day." Harold explained. "Wow! You guys actually have adventures from your comics?! I think I have two new buddies! What adventures did you have? Tell me!" Rainbow smiled. "Well when we first hypothesized him we started with taking down an evil baby genius named Dr. Diaper, stopped an army of talking toilets, defeated a wicked wedgie woman, stopped a guy named Poopypants from wiping out laughter, we even took down a Homework Hydra and so much more." George responded. "Wowie wow! You guys are so creative that you actually defeated those villains from your comics! And that Poopypants guy sounds so funny!" Rainbow laughed. "I have to say boys that you guys had some crazy adventures from that. And Rainbow is a fan of you. How's about we give you a tour of Ponyville?" Twilight offered. "Sure. We wish to see what lies in store." Harold said. "Oh it has everything! You'll love it! Let's go girls!" Pinkie declared. So everyone headed out to show George and Harold everything Ponyville has to offer. The boys were sure going to getting along with the ponies just fine. Author's Note Time to see everything Ponyville's gotta offer boys!
Chapter 3: A Ponyville TourThe ponies, Spike and the boys were walking around Ponyville to see everything that was in store for them. Many other ponies saw them and were curious about seeing two boys with the princess and her friends. "I hope you two like it here. There's so many neat things to do." Twilight said. "Where should we go first?" George asked. "How bout Sugarcube Corner? They got lots of sweets there!" Pinkie answered. "Sure thing. I could use a sugar treat right now." Harold said smiling. They all headed to Sugarcube Corner and after a few minutes they arrived at a place that was covered in sweets and looks like a gingerbread house. They went inside and saw all sorts of goodies to try. There were two ponies working at the counter. "Hello Pinkie. Nice to see you and your friends." The blue pony said. "You too Mr and Mrs Cake! Oh I have two new friends I like for you to meet. This is George and Harold." Pinkie replied. "Hey." The boys said in unison. "Nice to meet you boys. Any chance you like something here?" Mrs Cake asked. "Actually yes. We like two milkshakes. One chocolate and one strawberry please." Harold answered. "You got it. Coming right up." Mr Cake said. The Cakes got busy and prepared the boys their milkshakes. George got the chocolate one and Harold got the strawberry one. Pinkie paid them for the milkshakes as everyone left. Then they were walking to another place that they can check out while drinking the milkshakes. "Wow. Those milkshakes are pretty good. That place really makes the best sweets." Harold replied. "I'm glad you're enjoying them boys. In fact I know someplace we can head to next: my home Sweet Apple Acres." Applejack said. The gang all headed to Sweet Apple Acres where it was a big farm and a huge apple orchard. Lots of apple trees growing and George and Harold couldn't believe how much apples there were. "Wow. That is a lot of apple trees. It's no wonder why you call it Sweet Apple Acres. I almost thought you lived in a huge apple." George commented. "We may farm the apples but we don't live in a huge apple. Anyways it's just me and my sis here. Big Mac took his girlfriend on a date while Granny is taking a nap." Applejack replied. "Okay so is it just you, your sister and brother and granny in the family?" George asked. "Oh not just them. There's way more in my family. I even have a photo of them." Applejack answered as she handed them a picture. "Wow. Who knew that this family would be humongous? That's a lot of ponies." George commented. "Yes it is boys. Maybe one day you can meet them. But for now let's show you around the rest of Equestria." Applejack replied. Then everyone headed out to see what else there was to see. But as they were about to see the next thing a certain principal came out raging mad and shouted at George and Harold. "GEORGE!! HAROLD!! I'm so gonna pound you in the dirt! You're in lots of trouble when we get home!!" Krupp shouted. "Is that this Krupp guy you mentioned?" Spike worried. "Yep that's him. But don't worry girls! Watch this!" Harold said. When the two snapped their fingers Krupp completely changed. He spun around as his clothes came off as well as his wig. Then after he stopped spinning he had on only his underwear and a red cape on his back. He turned into their superhero Captain Underpants!! He was flying above them and landed on the ground smiling. "Tra la laaaaaa!!!" Captain Underpants said. "Wow! Is that this Captain Underpants guy you mentioned in your comics?" Rainbow beamed. "You bet he is! The superhero we created years ago when we first started making comics. And also took down all those villains we made in the comics." George answered. "Ok I definitely have to hang out with you two! Hey think you can make a comic with him and us taking down a villain?" Rainbow asked. "Yeah! I wanna see what comic book you can make! Can you please?" Spike begged. "Ok Spike settle down. Of course we can make a comic. But we will need pens, colored pencils, a stapler and some paper." Harold replied. "I got all that at my place! But is there anyway to reverse the transformation?" Starlight wondered. Then Pinkie took out a cup of water and splashed it on his head snapping him out of his trance turning him back into Krupp. He growled and yelled at the boys and their friends and ran off to find some place to be in and get a fresh set of clothes. The ponies did not like it when he yelled in their faces. "Honestly. He had no reason to yell at us like that." Rarity complained. "Well that's Krupp for you. And he ain't the only one who yelled at us. The other teachers are just as worse as him. So keep this in mind: you snap your fingers Krupp completely changes into Captain Underpants and if you dump water on his head he turns back into Krupp." Harold explained. "Noted. But you guys may have to do the finger snapping. We don't have hands. Just hooves. Well everyone except Spike." Twilight said. "Yeah. But anyways how about we make that comic you wanna see?" George asked. "Yeah! And if you like we can give you some ideas on what villain you want Captain Underpants to take down!" Rainbow offered. "I like that idea! Let's head to Starlight's place and get creative!" Harold answered. So everyone headed to Starlight's place and once they arrive it's time for them to create another Captain Underpants comic. With Mr Krupp he kept running deep in the forest dodging all the creatures in there til he finally reached a cave to rest and breathed heavy. "Man those two are so gonna be in big trouble when I get them! I need a way to catch them and then destroy their friendship for good!" Krupp declared. Then he found a stick that for some reason was glowing. He picked it up and examined it. "A glowing stick? I don't know what that will do but maybe I can make something with it." Krupp thought. Then he used the stick to create a strange symbol on the ground. Then a petrified dark crystal came out and a swarm of dark shadows came together and formed a tornado. Suddenly a pair of glowing green eyes and red horn appeared and stared at Krupp. "Uh...hi there shadow thing. I was wondering if you can help me catch two boys. George Beard and Harold Hutchins?" Krupp said nervously. The eyes narrowed more angry and two shadow claws came out and zapped Krupp with dark magic splitting him from his positrons and negatrons. It absorbed the negative Krupp into his body and threw the positive Krupp out of the cave while screaming in terror. Then the shadow began to take form. No longer was he a shadow but a unicorn wearing an evil king outfit. This was King Sombra. "Ahh. After a thousand years I'm finally free! And I managed to get a shadow minion. Shadow....oh what's his name? Krupp?" Sombra wondered. Then the shadow Krupp took form and went to Sombra. "Yes master?" Shadow Krupp asked. "Oh good. I heard you saying something about two boys? Why would I waste my time on them when im really focused on taking back the Crystal Empire? Tell you what. You help me take down the ponies and help me reclaim my kingdom and then MAYBE I'll consider your end of the deal." Sombra offered. "Yes Lord Sombra." Shadow Krupp said. "Wise choice. Come along minion. We got work to do." Sombra said as he chuckled evil. Meanwhile the positive Krupp recovered and saw the two evil beings planning something horrible. "Oh no. I think they are trying to take over this Crystal Empire as they said. If that's true then George and Harold are in trouble. I gotta warn them! But first I need some clothes." The positive Krupp said heading off to do his mission. Author's Note Oh no! Sombra is back! And he's got a shadow minion of Krupp. I hope the boys and their friends can stop them.
Chapter 5: Sombra's PlanAt Jermone Horowitz Elementary it was quite a cloudy, gloomy day. It was everything George and Harold said. A sad place with rude teachers, harsh assessments, and no kindness at all. But since it was a Saturday all the kids were spending it at their houses resting. Then in front of the school a dark portal opened up and out came Sombra with his horn glowing as he closed it behind him and saw the building. "So this is the infamous Jermone Horowitz Elementary school. More like the Jermone Horowitz Prison. They wouldn't recognize a school if it stared them in the face. But enough about them. Let's see if I can find those teachers." Sombra said as he went in. In the school it was even worse than the outside. It was everything George and Harold said. Like a prison and a bunch of strict rules no one wanted to follow. He looked to see where the teachers were and suddenly he came to the teachers lounge and thought they were in here. "I should have known they were in there. Well let's pay them a visit." Sombra grinned as his eyes glowed green. In the teachers lounge we see four other teachers resting on the couch. They are Ms Ribble, Ms Anthrope, Mr Meaner, and Mr Rustworthy. They weren't any better than the others. In fact they were worse than Krupp. But anyways while they were resting they didn't notice that a dark cloud started to form in the room and turned into King Sombra. He stared at the teachers and grinned evil. "So these are the teachers those boys are enemies with. Perfect. Now that I have them it's time to give Shadow Krupp a few playmates." Sombra replied. Then suddenly Ms Ribble slowly started to wake up and she saw Sombra. "Who are you? What are you doing here?! I hate ponies!!" Ms Ribble said. "I'm Sombra and I am your worse nightmare! HAHAHAHA!!!" Sombra laughed. His horn started glowing and he first blasted Ms Ribble making her yell in pain as her negatrons and positrons were being separated her negative version was been absorbed into King Sombra and threw the positive one out the window. The other teachers woke up hearing that but Sombra blasted more dark magic at them and it did the same thing on them. Then Sombra summoned his new shadow minions and they stared at their master. "Welcome to the army my fellow shadows. I am your master! I created you to do my bidding!! You will obey my will and mine alone!" Sombra demanded. "Yes master." The shadows said in unison scary. "Ahh that's what I like to hear. Now listen. I want to take back the Crystal Empire and rule all of Equestria. But there's one problem. There's these two boys named George and Harold with those ponies. Both somehow made a comic hero a real hero from this." Sombra explained showing them the comic. "Do you know them?" "Yes master. They ruin our lives and disrupt the beehive the school is." The shadows said in monotone. "Ok that is just super creepy. Lemme fix that." Sombra said as he blasted a spell at them and their eyes glowed red and spoke more sinister. "Now then. Anything else you want to say? Mr Meaner is it? Got something?" Sombra asked. "There will be nothing to stop your flawless, unparalleled victory King Sombra!!" Shadow Meaner shouted. "Ahh that's much better. I like your confidence Mr Meaner. Now listen. I want you 4 to used your new shadow powers and destroy the crystal ponies and help me take the Crystal Empire back. And if you see these two specific ponies named Shining Armor and Princess Cadence....make them quake in fear." Sombra ordered. "Yes master. It will be done. But what if George and Harold bring out Captain Underpants?" Shadow Ribble asked. "Oh don't worry about them. I had the pleasure of bringing Shadow Krupp to life and he will do what it takes to rid of them for good." Sombra explained. The shadows and Sombra began laughing evil as them came out of the school and into the dark portal that Sombra opened with his new shadow minions following behind. Back in Equestria Shadow Krupp was waiting for Sombra to return and sure enough he did with his new shadows. "Master. Your back. How was the trip?" Shadow Krupp asked. "Good. And I managed to get you some playmates. But I have a special job for you." Sombra answered. "What is it master?" Shadow Krupp wondered. "I want you to plan an attack on Ponyville to keep those pesky ponies and the boys busy long enough for us to take the Crystal Empire and rule all of Equestria. Think you can do that?" Sombra explained. Shadow Krupp nodded yes giving him the answer. "Good. And while your at it make sure that you don't disappoint me. I would hate to see my first shadow minion be extinguished by the light." Sombra threatened. "Yes master. I'll eliminate them. It will be done." Shadow Krupp said as he turned into a dark cloud and zoomed straight to Ponyville. "I should hope so. Anyways. Come along shadows. We got an empire to take back. Let's get to work." Sombra said. Soon all the shadows and Sombra headed straight in the direction on the Crystal Empire and began to put their plan in motion. Can our heroes stop the shadows and Sombra? Or will be take control of Equestria? Author's Note Get ready for a battle boys!
Chapter 6: The Shadow AttackBack with George and Harold they built a little stand to sell their latest comic book. They were selling it like hotcakes as ponies were taking them and were almost sold out. "Extra! Extra! Read our latest comic!!" George shouted. "Captain Underpants and the Deadly Shadows of Sombra!!" Harold announced. As they were selling their comic they saw a familiar man running towards them all scared. It was Mr Krupp! But why is he scared? "George! Harold! I'm so glad I found you!" Krupp said in relief. "Mr Krupp? What are you doing back here? And when did you started being nice? Is this a trick?" Harold asked. "No it's not a trick. But it's a long story." Krupp answered. We go back to the last chapter after Sombra separated the negatrons and positrons from Krupp. Since he was the positive one he needed to get to George and Harold since they had battles like this before. Krupp can't keep running in his boxers forever so he ran into a clothes stores and quickly got in some clothes and continued looking for the boys and that brings us to today. "So your saying that Sombra separated your negatrons and positrons meaning he took the negative Krupp and your the positive one?" George asked. "Yes. I know it sounds crazy but it's true. And not only that but he's summoning a shadow monster to take this Crystal Empire." Krupp explained. "A shadow monster?! How is he even going to do that?!" George asked scared. Then Harold realized something. "George? What if Sombra saw our comic and is planning to bring it to life but with his own ending?" They soon got their answer as they see an evil laughter coming from the shadow cloud forming into view. The minute everyone saw that they ran in fear as it blasted some evil lightning and destroyed a few houses. Then a head which looks like Krupp with glowing red eyes appeared and hissed like a snake scaring the trio. "Time to quake in fear boys!" Shadow Krupp said. "George I think that's one of Sombra's shadow minions! What do we do, what do we do, what do we do?!?!" Harold panicked. "Calm down Harold! We do what we always do when stuff like that happens. Summon Captain Underpants!" George answered. The two snapped their fingers and in no time Krupp spun around and all his clothes came off and turned into Captain Underpants! "Tra la laaaaa!!" Captain Underpants said. At the same time Twilight and her friends showed up with their Elements of Harmony on them. "Boys! What's going on here?" Twilight asked. "Twilight! Listen. We think Sombra's back and he sent one of his shadow minions to eliminate us! So we summoned Captain Underpants to try and stop that shadow!" George answered. "Well if Sombra is back and he sent that shadow then let us help you. We dealt with Sombra plenty of times and you might need all the help you can get." Rainbow offered. "Okay you can definitely help us. Now let's get that shadow creep!" George replied. "Good thinking sidekicks! The more the merrier! Now prepare to be vanquished in the light you shadow monster!" Captain Underpants declared. "Grr. Think you can stop me? Sombra will be victorious when he takes the Crystal Empire back! Let's do this!" Shadow Krupp said. Then everyone charged into battle! And when the shadow was about to attack the whole scene froze as George and Harold came in front of the readers. "Freeze! The following scenes contain stuff that may be a little violent to kids. But we can only show it using a technology known as Flip-o-rama!!" George announced. Then Harold got his notebook with the pictures for Flip-o-rama. "Okay. First the shadow cloud gave Captain Underpants the fist slam." Harold said as he flipped the page back and forth making the picture move. "Then he made an Underpants sandwich." Harold continued. "But then just as he has Captain Underpants in his grasp the ponies used their magic to blind his eyes and release him!" George replied. "Oh yes! And then Rainbow Dash flew around and around making the shadow really dizzy!" Harold said. "But the shadow shook it off and blasted some lightning at the ponies but Twilight used a shield spell to protect everyone from getting hit." George commented. "Yes. Now the shadow didn't realize it but George and Harold's plan was working. So they told Rarity, Starlight, and Twilight to combine their magic to unleash a powerful beam to eliminate the shadow." Harold announced. "And lucky for them it worked perfectly. The shadow was down but they still needed to defeat it." George said as Harold flipped the last page ending the Flip-o-rama and back to the fight scene. "What was that Flip-o-rama?!" Pinkie asked. "We'll explain later! We gotta eliminate that shadow!" Harold replied. Rarity, Starlight and Twilight were still blasting it with their magic and it was starting to weaken. But it still had strength to blast lightning at them. The ponies dodged and when Twilight blasted some magic at the shadow it hit him straight in the face as he yelled in pain clutching his eyes. "This is impossible! You can't possibly defeat me that easy! IM SOMBRA'S SHADOW MINION OF POWER!!!" Shadow Krupp said throwing a fit. "You may be Sombra's shadow minion but you like act like the real Mr Krupp. And you forgot about one thing buddy." Rainbow said. "And what's that?" Shadow Krupp asked. "That shadows are afraid of the light. And with the magic of friendship all of us including George, Harold and Captain Underpants we will vanquish the darkness and bring the light!" Twilight shouted in glory. Then she prepared her ultimate spell when she and her friends are about to vanquish a foe. They all activated the Elements and began floating in a rainbow aura. Then Twilight brought the boys in the group and once they opened their eyes a rainbow beam was blasted in the face of Shadow Krupp and covered him in the light as he began to be vanquished away into nothingness while screaming. Then he exploded into rainbow stars never to be seen again. The group came down and saw the burn marks of the defeated shadow. "We did it! We stopped the shadow!" George said. "Well done sidekicks! Now that the shadow is gone the village is safe once again!" Captain Underpants said in victory. "Not yet. George, Harold. You boys said that Sombra's back?" Starlight asked. "Yes Starlight. See we think we accidentally dropped one comic and Sombra must have seen it causing him to do everything in there. Only he's planning to take this Crystal Empire back in his own ending." Harold explained. "That's bad. We have to stop Sombra before he takes the Crystal Empire again! My brother and my sister in law are there! Who knows what chaos he'll cause!" Twilight worried. "Relax fellow princess. You can certainly count on me and my sidekicks to stop Sombra before it's too late." Captain Underpants assured. Then Spike's belly bloated and burped a message. Twilight got it and read it. Turns out it was from Celestia and she needed to see her, her friends and the boys at once. "Princess Celestia needs to see us. Let's head to Canterlot and see what she needs!" Twilight replied. "Who's Princess Celestia?" George asked. "She's the ruler of Equestria along with her sister. You'll meet them in Canterlot. Come on gang! Let's see what she needs and hopefully it's a mission to stop King Sombra!" Rainbow said. So everyone headed straight to the train station and made their way to Canterlot. The Crystal Empire is in danger again and the gang need to save it from Sombra's clutches before darkness consume the land. Author's Note Next time the boys will meet the princesses and might gain powers along with Captain Underpants to stop King Sombra!
Chapter 7: Princesses and New PowersEveryone was on the train heading for Canterlot and it was taking a while to arrive. After about an hour our heroes finally arrived in Canterlot. They got off the train and headed straight for the castle. At the gate they were greeted by the guards. "Halt! State your business!" One guard asked. "Princess Celestia called for us. And as for the boys they are with us." Twilight answered. "Oh. Sorry for the inconvenience. Go on in." The other guard said. The guards let our heroes in the castle and they made their way to see the princess. Now the boys were a little confused since they never met Celestia or her sister for that matter but if she was able to help them stop Sombra then what have they got to lose? Inside the castle George and Harold admired the colored windows telling legends. Once they arrived in the throne room they were greeted by two ailcorns. One is white and a mane of blue, green and pink. She also has a sun cutie mark. She was Princess Celestia. The other is dark blue and a mane of stars. She was Luna. They smiled seeing the gang all here. "Twilight Sparkle. I'm glad you and your friends could make it." Celestia smiled. "Us too princess. Celestia I like you to meet our new friends. This is George Beard, Harold Hutchins, and their comic creation: Captain Underpants." Twilight introduced. "Your Highness." The boys said and bowed in unison. Luna giggled. "Boys. There's no need to be formal with us. Just call us Celestia and Luna." "Okay. We will keep that in mind. So you wanted to see us?" Harold asked. "Yes. First off is it true that you boys made this?" Celestia asked holding a comic with her magic. "Yes Celestia. See we made hundreds of comics over the years. Harold likes drawing the pictures and I like to tell the story." George explained. "I see. You boys certainly have a big imagination and how were you able to bring this Captain Underpants to life?" Celestia asked looking at Captain Underpants. "That's a long story. But the short version is we used a hypno ring on him and during the first battle he gained powers and that's how we really created Captain Underpants." Harold answered. "Hmm. Interesting. Anyways there's another reason why you all are here. King Sombra returned and is planning to take the Crystal Empire again. With some new shadows he has." Luna said. "Um Luna? We noticed that Sombra is back. We faced one of his shadows that he sent." George noted. "Yes. It was true. But luckily we vanished that shadow straight in the light! My sidekicks did a good job helping me." Captain Underpants agreed. "Ahh. I see your caught up then. Wonderful. Anyways I called you here because the Crystal Empire needs your help. You must stop King Sombra from taking the Empire again and vanquish his shadow minions. As for you boys you will help Twilight and her friends defeat any tough shadows that Sombra could send out." Celestia said to the boys. "But Celestia how do we help Twilight and her friends defeat any shadows that Sombra has? We faced the real creations from our previous comics before but Sombra is different than anything else we faced." George asked. "Worry not boys. Me and my sister will grant you powers to defeat King Sombra. But first I wish to see what creations from your comics you have faced." Celestia asked. "Go ahead. You can look." Harold replied. So Celestia used her magic to look inside their minds. Then she saw the visions of them first summoning Captain Underpants and stopping all sorts of crime. Starting with taking down an evil baby genius named Dr. Diaper, stopped an army of talking toilets, defeated a wicked wedgie woman, stopped a guy named Poopypants from wiping out laughter, we even took down a Homework Hydra and so much more. She smiled seeing everything and knowing their heroic deeds. "Well you boys certainly have saved your world plenty of times. And though you made those villains in your comics you know what to do when they came to life." Celestia smiled. "Yes Celestia. It has happened plenty of times and we always have Captain Underpants to help save the day." Harold replied. "You really do. Now sister? Let's grant them some powers to defeat King Sombra." Celestia told her. "Right back at you." Luna said. The two combined their magic and shot a beam of yellow and blue light at them covering their bodies. In the bloodstream we see the blood cells flexing their muscles as a way of saying that the power is kicking in. When the light died down the boys landed on the ground. Then they felt a little funny. "Ooh. I kinda feel funny after that. I wonder what powers we got?" George asked. "Why don't you find out? And Captain Underpants? That symbol on your chest is representing the day." Luna said as Captain Underpants saw the sun symbol on his chest. "Wowie! Now King Sombra will feel the light soon enough!" Captain Underpants smiled. "Now let's see what powers we got!" George said. The boys first tried flying and when they focused on their feet up they went! They flew around laughing and George placed his hands on his head created brain rings. Then he noticed two hypno rings on each middle finger. He used them on a guard placing him in a full mind control. He then snapped him out of it and the guard fell down. Then Harold tried out his powers. When he landed he suddenly ran super fast and stopped in front of the girls. Then he noticed two rainbow rings on each middle finger. He used them on the wall to create a drawing of the Wicked Wedgie Woman. And to his surprise it came to life!! Then he blasted a beam of black and white and made the drawing disappear. The boys smiled seeing what powers they got. "Wow! I got telekinesis! Sick!" George said. "And I got magic art powers! We are so ready to stop King Sombra now!" Harold replied. "You bet you are boys! Never worry Celestia! We'll stop King Sombra if it's the last thing we do!" Rainbow responded. "I'm glad to hear that. Now go to the Crystal Empire and stop King Sombra. They are your only hope." Celestia said. The gang heard her command and headed out the door and began their mission. Then as they got out the door Rarity had an idea. She used her magic to give the boys different costumes. George had a suit with a science symbol on his chest and a helmet he was wearing on his face. Harold was wearing a rainbow suit and cape with sunglasses and a color wheel symbol on his chest. "Oh yeah! Now here REALLY ready to stop King Sombra!" George said. "Thanks for the costumes Rarity!" George thanked. "Anytime darlings. Now let's head to the Crystal Empire!" Rarity announced. "Right you are Rarity! It's time to vanquish some shadows and take down it's king! Come sidekicks! Let's save the day!! Tra la laaaa!!" Captain Underpants agreed and flew off. Since George and Harold can fly too they took to the sky followed Captain Underpants. Then Rainbow and Fluttershy decided to fly with them while the others took the train following them to the Crystal Empire where they will face the evil King Sombra. Can they stop him? Or will the Crystal Empire be covered in dark shadow? Author's Note Get ready for the battle! Stay tuned.
Chapter 8: The Battle of Light and Dark.Our heroes were still on the train heading to the Crystal Empire while the pegasi, George, Harold, and Captain Underpants were flying to the empire. After an hour or two they arrived. Our heroes went in the direction til they saw the Crystal Empire. But once they arrived they saw four shadows summoning minions and causing chaos. George and Harold instantly knew what was going on. "Oh no. Sombra was busy while we were fighting Shadow Krupp." Harold said. "He sure was. Now we gotta find him and stop his shadowy plans." George replied. "Right back at you boys. Let's go kick his butt back in the darkness!" Rainbow declared and flew off. The others followed behind and tried catching up to Rainbow. At the Crystal Empire Sombra had his four shadows doing his evil bidding. The shadows shot lightning at various houses and even did a few evil homework spells. Just like back at Jermone Horowitz Elementary they always to force homework on the kids. Sombra laughed evil seeing all the evil work they were doing. Suddenly he saw the gang heading his way and smirked. "So the ponies wanna play huh? Well then let's play!!" Sombra said turning into shadow and headed for them. The gang saw everything that was going on and once they saw the dark cloud above them they knew who it was. Then the cloud came down and formed back into King Sombra. He smiled evil at them. "Well, well, well. If it isn't Twilight and her friends. I see you brought the boys too. And in ridiculous costumes for that matter." Sombra laughed. "Stand down Sombra! Or we'll bring you to the light!" George replied. "Oh really? And how you gonna do that? Oh that's right. Nothing!!!" Sombra threatened. He instantly regret saying that as Harold used his rainbow rings and created a Shining Love Blaster 3000 and shot Sombra in the face. He yelled in pain from that and George flew around in circles making him dizzy. Sombra shook his head and saw Captain Underpants take out a fresh pair of underwear and glowed brightly and aimed at Sombra hitting him in the face again. He laid on the ground and groaned as he picked himself up. "Grr. Okay. I didn't expect you to actually have powers. But even so you cannot stop me. Minions assemble!!!" Sombra shouted as his shadow minions came. "Hah! What are your shadows gonna do Sombra? They can't even fight like Shadow Krupp who lost pathetically!" Rainbow smirked. "Oh really? You may have mastered being a small villain but can you handle a giant one?" Sombra thought. His horn glowed and he blasted a beam of dark magic and shocked his four shadows transforming them into a monster. The shadows started to merge into one and when the cloud got bigger it started to form into a hydra monster with the heads hissing like snakes! Then Sombra opened a portal and took out a copy machine and blasted a beam of dark magic making it come apart and onto the hydra. Once the transformation was done the hydra roared at the heroes. "HAHAHAHAHAHA!! How do you like my new pet? Meet the Shadow Hydra!! And guess what boys? It's like the Homework Hydra. But scary!!" Sombra told the boys. "Stand down Sombra!! It's time to vanquish you into the light and end your reign of darkness for good!" Captain Underpants said with courage. "Oh okay. Tell you what you giant baby with a cape on. Beat my Shadow Hydra and find me in the Crystal Empire. Then we'll see who's really a hero." Sombra challenged. "Your on Sombra! Get ready for a fight of light and dark!" Twilight declared. "Oh I'm really scared! Well good luck. Shadow Hydra! Take them out!!" Sombra ordered as he turned into shadow and headed for the throne room of the Crystal Empire. The hydra growled at the heroes and they got in battle positions ready to fight it. "Time to read 9 books tonight!!" Shadow Ribble yelled. "When were done we'll force you to do 500 word problems by tomorrow!!" Shadow Rustworthy growled. "And you'll be running a thousand laps once your down and out!" Shadow Meaner said. "Not happening Shadow Hydra! You won't force these innocent boys to do your homework slavery and stuff they don't like!" Spike yelled. "Yeah and as their friends we will fight you and stop Sombra!" Starlight shouted. "Really now? Ok. Then let's do this!!" Shadow Anthrope declared. Suddenly all the homework weapons started to be activated and once all of them were ready the hydra growled and our heroes were ready to fight. The hydra roared and everyone charged into battle but before the fight can begin the whole scene froze as George and Harold in their costumes came to the readers. "Freeze! Now like the last chapter the following scenes your about see are going to be a little violent and expensive that we can only show them using the technology known as Flip-o-rama!!" Harold replied. So he got the notebook ready for Flip-o-rama. "Ok so the battle started with the hydra giving Captain Underpants the foot." George replied making the pictures move by flipping the page back and forth. "Then Harold used his Shining Love Blaster 3000 to blind Shadow Ribble's eyes." Harold said. "But then the hydra covered him in many sheets of paper." George continued. "Captain Underpants and Starlight got Harold out of all the paper and blasted lots of magic at the hydra!" Harold replied. "But then the hydra shot pencils at the other ponies making them scared." Harold continued. "Luckily George used his hypno rings and made them go back at the hydra." George replied. "The battle lasted for a while but our heroes wouldn't give up. So they kept on fighting the hydra and to keep things dramatic they were getting a little tired." Harold said. "Then they were almost out of options to stop the hydra but Captain Underpants shot a glowing pair of underwear and it Shadow Meaner in the face." George replied. Then after he flipped the last page it ended the Flip-o-rama. "You still didn't tell me what the Flip-o-rama was!" Pinkie yelled. "It's something we have to tell the readers when something violent is happening! It's a friendly way to show the action! Now let's finish off the hydra!" Harold explained. "Okie dokie!" Pinkie agreed. The hydra was still going at it and our heroes were now having trouble trying to think of another idea to stop it then when Captain Underpants and the boys used a laser beam Shadow Ribble saw it and chased after it tying a knot into the others. "Boys did she just chased a laser?" Applejack wondered. "She sure did! And we have an idea! Teachers love chasing lasers as they love homework. So we'll just distract them with lasers and once the hydra is down we'll bring it into the light!!" Harold explained. "That's a great idea boys! Alright girls! Let's put on a laser show!" Twilight declared. So everyone put their plan in action as the unicorns created different laser beams for the heads to chase around and while they did that the boys used their powers to help the ponies. Harold used his rainbow rings to create a giant pool of rainbow paint and Captain Underpants flashed his eyes making the hydra blind and yell in pain. The heads of Ribble and Anthrope still chased the lasers not noticing the pool behind them. And once it was on the edge Applejack used all her strength and bucked it into the pool. When it got out it was covered in paint. It tried shooting some lightning but the boys dodged. Then Harold used his Shining Love Blaster 3000 and once it hit all the ponies they actived their Magic of Friendship spell and covered the hydra as it began to vanish into thin air. All that was left was the heads and they were cracking and light came out. "NOO!!!!" The teachers shouted and exploded into rainbow stars. Everyone came down panting heavy seeing the hydra defeated. "We did. We stopped Sombra's hydra! But it ain't over yet. We still gotta face the dark king himself and save the Crystal Empire!" Captain Underpants noted. "Your right. Come on gang. Let's stop King Sombra." Twilight said. "Tra la laaaa!" Captain Underpants said as he and the boys flew to the throne room. The others followed behind him and knew the final battle was approaching. Can they stop King Sombra or will the darkness consume the Crystal Empire? We'll find out soon enough. Author's Note Get ready for the ultimate showdown!
Chapter 9: The Artistic Trio vs The Shadow KingOur heroes finally got to the Crystal Empire and entered the throne room where they see Sombra in Shining's throne. He has kept Shining Armor and Cadence trapped in a crystal cage. "Ok King Sombra. Time to give up the crown!!" Rainbow shouted. "Haha. You came here to fight me with nothing but your wits? Clever. But foolish!" Sombra remarked. Then the boys came in and flew above Sombra getting in battle positions ready to take him down. "Who are they?" Shining Armor asked. "Fear not good sir! For we will stop Sombra and save you and everyone on a piping hot platter of freedom! With a side order of liberty and a cup sized order of justice!" Captain Underpants said with heroism. "This is George, Harold and Captain Underpants! They'll save you guys! And we'll help too!" Twilight replied. "Oh so these three buffoons think they can stop me? I will give you credit for stopping my hydra but your not strong enough to stop me! So let's do this!!" Sombra growled. He began transforming into a shadow monster as claws came out of the cloud and his head was out too with glowing green eyes and a red horn. He growled at the trio and roared loud pushing them back but held their ground. Then they headed to Sombra and when he jumped up he came down and roared ready to attack. But the whole scene froze again as George and Harold came to the readers one last time. "Freeze! I know we said this twice i promise that this is the last one. So as you know the following scenes contain stuff that may be a little violent to kids. But we can only show it using a technology known as Flip-o-rama!!" George announced. Then Harold got his notebook with the pictures for Flip-o-rama. "Okay. So Sombra covered the heroes in shadow scaring them." Harold said as he flipped the page back and forth making the picture move. "Then he made a hero sandwich." Harold continued. "And they played a game of Dodge the Red Lightning." George said. "Yes. And the heroes had enough and used their powers to try and weaken Sombra so they can free Cadence and Shining Armor." Harold replied. "But Sombra had other tricks up his sleeve and tired out the boys." George told them. "The ponies realized that they need help big time. So Twilight used her magic to heal them back at full strength and she along with her friends joined them in taking Sombra down!" Harold said. "And they were gaining the upper hand but Sombra wouldn't back down. So they realized that they need to find his weak spot to destroy him." George said as Harold flipped the last page ending the Flip-o-rama and back to the fight scene. "That was the quickest Flip-o-rama I've ever seen! Now help us out boys!" Starlight shouted. "Gotcha Starlight! Let's go!" Harold said flying high and heading to Sombra. The fight was still going as Captain Underpants shot glowing underwear at him hitting in the face. "Eww! That's gross!" Sombra said disgusted. "Oh there's more where that came from!" Captain Underpants said shooting more underwear. Sombra then blasted red lightning at Captain Underpants but he dodged them Harold came in front of him and spun around in a rainbow circle making him dizzy. Them he used his rainbow rings to create a Guardian of pure light and commanded it to attack Sombra. The guardian obeyed and with a little help from George using his hypno rings they took out both his hands when Sombra tried to squash them but the Guardian grabbed his hands and blasted two beams of light instantly destroying them. Sombra shouted in pain when that happened. "You vile little brats! You'll pay for this!" Sombra shouted in rage as he charged at them. Captain Underpants shot another pair of glowing underwear at him and he growled blasting red lightning at the boys but they dodged. "Okay. Enough playing around! Time to show you some REAL fear! By killing your friends!" Sombra sneered. He then aimed at the girls and blasted red lightning at them. But before it could hit George used his hypno rings to mind control Sombra and forced the lighting to hit him back and once it did he yelled in pain as the lighting became unstable and exploded causing Sombra to revert back to his true form. He laid on the ground all tired and scared. "How is this possible?! Your powers can't defeat mine! I PLANNED ALL THIS TO DESTROY YOU!!!" Sombra shouted throwing a fit. "You may have planned this from our comic Sombra but you forgot one thing." Harold replied. "And what's that you brats?" Sombra asked. "That Captain Underpants will always foil your plans. And we happened to know from the very first day we were here that friendship really is magic!" George answered. The ponies smiled seeing them understanding the lesson everyone knows. "For our friends." George started. "For all that is pre shrunk and cottony!" Captain Underpants continued. "For the freedom of the Crystal Ponies!" Harold finished. "For Equestria!!" The boys said in unison. "Ladies! It's time to shine a light on thee!" Captain Underpants declared. The ponies nodded in agreement and everyone came together to perform the ultimate spell of friendship. They held hands, floated above the ground and opened their eyes activating the power. Then a giant comic fist of pure rainbow light came to Sombra as he screamed seeing it and covered him in the light vanquishing him into nothingness and ridding the dark crystals freeing Cadence and Shining Armor and restoring peace to the Crystal Empire. The gang all hugged them knowing their safe. "Twily! Thank you for saving us and the Crystal Empire!" Shining smiled. "Thanks Shining. But we couldn't have done it without our friends." Twilight said pointing to George, Harold and Captain Underpants as they the kids took off their headwear. Cadence came to them smiling and the boys bowed in respect. "Thank you boys. For saving the Crystal Empire from King Sombra and helping Twilight. We are so grateful to you." Cadence responded. "Your welcome your highness. Me and my sidekicks did a good job protecting you. Now no more shadows will be lurking around." Captain Underpants replied. "And we thank you for that. We have to do something special for you guys." Shining smiled. Then Shining and Cadence went to the girls and planned out a special surprise for the boys. What will it be? Well find out the surprise soon enough. Author's Note Sombra is no more!! Prepare for the final chapter to see the surprise!
Chapter 10: A New Home and A New LifeOutside the Crystal Empire we see all the ponies in their fancy clothing enjoying a party. Even the boys were wearing some fancy clothes themselves. And Harold wore a tie! Captain Underpants was getting some autographs from some ponies who appreciated being saved by him and his sidekicks. Even Princess Celestia arrived at the occasion. After a few minutes Cadence and her husband came to the stand to prepare the speech. "Ponies of the Empire. We thank you for joining us here on this occasion. Today we are here to congratulate three new heroes that saved the Empire." Cadence started. "Since a few years ago we still remember the day that Spike saved the Empire and we still know him as a hero. Then when Sombra returned a beacon of light shined and three new heroes came to save the day. So every pony please welcome our saviors who will receive not one but two surprises. Give it up for George Beard, Harold Hutchins, and their comic creation Captain Underpants." Shining finished. Everyone applauded as the boys came to the stand and started to say a few words. "Thank you Shining. Hi. I'm George Beard, and this is my best friend Harold Hutchins." George started. "Hey there." "See like Shining said we did take down Sombra. But before all that we were just two 1st graders at school with the worst principal in the world. And back home we only had our defense of pranks and practical jokes against him." George said. "But then all that changed when we got transported here. At first we had no idea where we were but thanks to our new friends The Mane Seven and Spike they helped us get used to Equestria." Harold continued as they smiled. "And it turns out we made more friends than one here. Everyone is so nice like we belong here. And when Sombra returned there was no way we were gonna let him cover the Empire in shadow." George stated. "But we couldn't done it without help from our friends. So we just like to say thank you guys. Thank you so much for all you done." Harold concluded. Everyone applauded as Celestia and Luna came to the stand. "Thanks for the speech boys. And we have something special for you. For your bravery of standing side by side with Twilight and her friends you will have these for the Crystal Empire to remember you by." Celestia said. Cadence and Shining took down a huge cover relieving three crystal statues of them and Captain Underpants next to Spike's. The crowd cheered as the boys stared in awe. The statues had them in their superhero costumes and in poses. The boys turned to face the princesses. "Thank you Celestia. That means a lot." George smiled. "Your welcome boys." Celestia said to them. "And there's something else. Since you boys were showing friendship to Twilight and everyone else we decided that you'll have new lives here in Equestria. And the girls made you a new place to stay. As for Captain Underpants he will be with us training for any upcoming battles." Luna added. "Really? That's cool and I wonder what the new place is?" Harold asked. "Put these blindfolds on and we'll show you guys." Pinkie answered. They did what Pinkie told them to do and placed the blindfolds on their eyes and followed them the direction the girls were guiding them. Captain Underpants waved goodbye to the boys as Celestia and Luna took him to their castle. With the girls they finally arrived at the location and Starlight got ready to surprise them. "Ok guys take them off." Starlight encouraged. George and Harold took off their blindfolds and to their surprise they saw a huge tree house in a crystal tree! The tree house was much bigger and more detailed than their old one. It was spray painted with pictures of Captain Underpants and also had the Treehouse Comics Inc logo on the attic window. It even had a slide to go down! They were sure surprised seeing this. "Wow! Is that a treehouse?! It looks so cool!" Harold asked. "You bet it is boys. We took the time to build this especially for you. And wait til you see the inside." Twilight said. The boys were giddy as George pulled a rope to bring down the ladder and climbed it. Once inside it was everything they can imagine. There was a couch to relax on and a TV to watch, A cabinet filled with treats for the boys to snack on, A soda pusher to get any soda they want, A work desk to makes as many comics they want, A closet with their pajamas and clothes and finally a bedroom with two beds: one with their superhero symbol so they know who's bed is which. "Oh my word! This is so much nicer in here! So you girls made this for us?" Harold asked. "You bet boys. Since you saved the Crystal Empire from Sombra's clutches we figure that you should stay with us in Equestria. And what better way than to make you a treehouse." Rainbow smiled. "Thanks girls. I'm sure were gonna enjoy our new life in Equestria." George smiled. "I bet you will. Well enjoy your tree house boys. If you need us use that red button and we'll be there." Twilight said pointing to the red button and she and her friends left to give the boys some time to explore the new treehouse. "I gotta say those girls really are friendly. Well I don't know about you but I'm tuckered out from today. Let's get some rest for tomorrow." George said. "Right you are George." Harold said as the two changed into their cozy pajamas. George had purple ones while Harold had the green ones. The both crawled into their beds and fell asleep into dreamland. The next day we see the sun rising and the boys got up and started to sing. Cause today was Saturday!! https://m. The two danced around and sang along to the song. Once the song was over they posed and the sun shined bright on them. "So George? What should we do on this bright sunny day?" Harold asked. "Well I was thinking maybe we go visit Twilight and the girls." George answered. "That is a great idea! Come on!" Harold said as the two got dressed and headed out to visit Twilight and her friends. The two spent their Saturday doing everything with Twilight and the girls. First thing they did this morning is have breakfast with them and while Twilight was reading a book George and Harold created another comic called 'Captain Underpants and the Wrath of the Wicked Wedgie Woman.' Next they hung out with Rainbow Dash in doing some awesome stuff in becoming a Wonderbolt. Then they were with Rarity trying on some jazzy outfits for any special occasions that might happen in the future. Then they were with Fluttershy taking care of the cute bunnies that need food and water. And finally they were at Starlight's place meeting her friend Sunburst and getting to know him better. Needless to say it was a great Saturday. The two headed back to their new treehouse and changed into their cozy pajamas pajamas again, grabbed a cookie and A glass of grape soda and looked at the night sky. "Ahh. Now this a peaceful night. And Harold? I'm so glad were staying in Equestria." George commented. "Me too. Everyone is so nice here and we have more friends than ever. Not to mention that I love having Rainbow Dash as our best friend." Harold replied. "Yep. Well this was a great Saturday. Let's get some sleep for the next day and in the future we'll be living the dream." George smiled. "Okay George. Night bud." Harold said. "Night man." The two crawled into their beds and soon enough they fell fast asleep smiling and dreaming about what their new lives in Equestria will be. And that brings our story to it's happy conclusion. Hope you enjoyed the crossover of the amazing Captain Underpants. Author's Note I hope you liked it. And George and Harold learned that friendship really is magic.
Chapter 4: Captain Underpants and the Deadly Shadows of Sombra (Comic Version)Back with the gang they finally arrived at Starlight's place and the boys got everything they need to make their latest comic book. Rainbow couldn't be more excited to see the comic when it was finished. "So boys. I got a few ideas for you. How's about Captain Underpants face Queen Chrysalis?" Rainbow offered. "Nah. Maybe something more scary looking." Harold replied. "Ooh I got it! How about Captain Underpants face King Sombra? He's scary and we beat him twice!" Rainbow asked. "Hmm. That could work. What do you think George?" Harold asked. "That sounds perfect. If we have a picture of what this King Sombra looks like we can totally do that!" George answered and Pinkie popped out and gave them a picture of King Sombra. "Here you go. I always carry pictures. In case of picture emergencies." Pinkie said as she disappeared. "Thanks. How on earth is she doing this crazy stuff?" Harold asked. "It's Pinkie Pie darlings. I know it's confusing but it's better not to question her. You'll get used to it." Rarity responded. "Okay?" The boys said in unison all confused. "Let's work on the comic." George said. The two agreed and got started on the comic. See George likes to write the story on every comic they do and Harold likes to draw the pictures that puts the story together like a puzzle. Page after page they continued to work on the comic til eventually they reached the last page. When they did they put all the pages in the right order telling the whole story from beginning to end. Then they stapled it together making it whole. And with a little help from Twilight she used a spell to make copies of the comic. With her friends they were hanging out with each other til the trio came in the room with lots of copies of the comic. "Whoa. You boys sure were mighty busy. Did you make all those copies?" Applejack asked. "Actually we made one comic. Twilight gave us some help by cloning the comic. Anyways you guys wanna read this?" George asked. "You kidding? Of course we do! Let's see it!" Rainbow said. "Ok. Feast your eyes on our newest edition!" George commented as he gave everyone a copy of the comic. "We call it...Captain Underpants and The Deadly Shadows of Sombra!" Harold replied. "That is so cool!" Rainbow said as she saw the cover of Captain Underpants fighting alongside with the ponies taking down Sombra and his shadow minions of the boys teachers. "Please read it please!!!" Pinkie begged. "Ok Pinkie. We will. Let's begin." Harold said as everyone opened up the comic and started the story. And so begins the story on the comic the boys worked on. (Plus yellow will be Harold and brown is George. Now let's read!) In the comic "It was a lovely day at Jermone Horowitz Elementary. Well on the outside. The inside not so much." Harold started. "Inside was like a prison. Rude teachers, boring lectures, and no kindness. Then when things couldn't be more boring they all had to sit through a boring invention presentation." George continued. "Then during the presentation something was happening. An eerie shadow leaked through the invention and formed into an evil unicorn king named Sombra." Harold said ominously. "HAHAHA!! Greetings you fools! I am King Sombra! So you kids wanna have some fun? Then let's have some REAL, SCARY, FUN!!!!" George said pretending to be Sombra. "Sombra flashed a giant pair of glowing green eyes and put all the kids under his fear control making them see their worst fears. He even did it on the guy giving the presentation! Then he went to the teachers lounge and placed them under a different spell separating their negatrons from positrons." George commented. "And now to use my shadow minions for my personal needs! First ill take over this pathetic school and then take over THE WORLD!!!" Harold said pretending to be Sombra. "Then in a matter of minutes Sombra took control of the school and used the shadows of the teachers and formed them into a giant cloud of shadow with only their heads out hissing like snakes!" Harold replied. "HAHAHA!! Now all of the world will bow in fear and I'll be the new ruler of them all!!!" George said pretending to be Sombra. "Oh no! This looks like a job for..." Spike narrated while reading. "Captain Underpants!!!" The ponies said in unison. "So Sombra and Captain Underpants charged into battle! Sombra tried blasting him with his beams of dark magic but he dodged. He turned into shadow and flew above him in the air. Captain Underpants chased after him and tried punching him but it went through him." George started out. "Your a slow learner aren't you? You cannot hit a shadow. But it can hit you!" Harold said pretending to be Sombra. "Sombra then punched Captain Underpants and he crashed on the ground. He then tried different ideas for stopping him but nothing worked. Then out of the blue a group of different ponies came and helped him back on his feet." Harold replied. "Then the kids told them that the only way to take a shadow is to make it see the light. So Captain Underpants distracted the shadow monster as it followed him leading into a trap. Then when it was in the sun the monster screamed in pain as the sun hurt it's eyes and the ponies using their magic of friendship made the monster explode releasing a wave breaking everyone from his control." George said. "NO!!!! This can't be! I had you in the palm of my hooves!!" George said pretending to be Sombra. "You may had your fun in the dark. But you forget about one thing Sombra. Whenever there's dark there will always be light!" Spike narrated pretending to be Captain Underpants. "Then the kids took out a powerful potion of light magic and threw it at Sombra and once the ponies used the magic and hit the potion on Sombra he groaned in agony and exploded into nothingness. And so once again the day was saved again all thanks to Captain Underpants and his new friends!! The End." Harold concluded. Out of the comic Everyone closed the comic and applauded for George and Harold. "Wowie! Best! Comic! EVER!!!" Pinkie cheered. "Yeah I love this! Take that King Sombra! Though I'm certainly sure that our friendship magic will defeat him much faster if he comes here!" Rainbow smiled. "Ooh careful what you wish for Rainbow. But were glad you like it. Now let's get these copies sold so we have some cash in our pockets." Harold replied. "Ok. And is it okay if we keep these copies you gave us for ourselves?" Spike wondered. "Sure thing Spike. We'll be outside if you need us." George said. The two boys got their copies and headed outside to sell them for bits. But they didn't realize that a certain shadow king was watching them from the bushes. "So those are the boys huh? Hmm. I really don't get why Krupp wants to rid of them." Sombra wondered. Then he saw one copy drop out of the boys hands and quickly snatched it and went back to the cave looking to see if no one saw him. "Whoo. I'm good. Now let's see what this is. Captain Underpants and the Deadly Shadows of Sombra? Is this supposed to be about me?" Sombra asked. He then opened up the comic and began reading it. Shadow Krupp appeared and overheard him reading and grew angry and shouted in rage. Sombra heard that and plugged his mouth with a rock. "Shut up! Why don't you be quiet?!" Sombra shouted and continued reading. After a few minutes he closed the comic and took a deep breath and then spoke. "Well I will admit that this George and Harold are certainly the creative type. But what they don't know is that i'll be writing my OWN ending. And that is take over Equestria and reclaim my empire!! But I may need some extra hooves or in this case hands." Sombra said. Then he remembered something in the comic he read. He turned to the page that had the shadow monster and then he got an idea as a wicked smile formed on his face. "So they have other enemies besides you huh Shadow Krupp?" Sombra said as he nodded yes. "Well then. I think I should pay them a little visit and see if I can convince them to destroy Ponyville. Maybe I'll even summon that same monster to take the Crystal Empire. Yes. That's exactly what I'll do." Sombra smiled evil as his eyes glowed green. Author's Note Sombra's coming. Better watch out.
