The group was near an open lake as Helix was sitting at the end of a dock with a fishing rod. He soon felt it being tugged before he struggled to pull it out of the water. “Whoa! This is a fighter!” He said as he pulled harder before he managed to pull the fish up. “This one is huge! I caught a real monster!” He cheered.

“Yeah, almost 12 inches long." Twilight mentioned after measuring the fish.

“You’re getting good at fishing, cous.” Flash said with a smile. “Your parents and Grandpa must’ve given you some pointers.”

"Well, when you lived with him most of your life, you pick up a thing or two." Helix mentioned before Looma, wearing her pony disguise, leaped out of the water carrying multiple fishes that seemed bigger than the one he caught.

“Hello, beloved.” Looma said casually with a smile as Twilight, Flash, and Helix’s jaws dropped at the amount of fish before Looma saw the fish Helix caught. “That’s an impressive memo.”

“Okay, you just jumped into the lake and caught many fishes while I used a classic rod?” Helix questioned in surprise as he unhooked his fish and tossed it back into the water.

"Yes, I was taught how to fish like this back on my home planet." Looma explained with a proud tone. "It's something a Tetraman princess must learn, although I was advised to do this with my disguise because of the way I do it." She added with a slight blush, which confused the three.

“Uh, what do you mean the way you do it, Looma?” Flash questioned with a brow.

“What kind of thing do you do when doing that kind of trick?” Twilight asked in wonder.

"Well actually…"

"Um Looma, why are your clothes scattered on this rock?” Rarity called out as she walked up with Looma's clothes levitating in her magic.

"Oh, nevermind…I see why." Twilight mentioned as she was told about this kind of experience when she was in the human world.

"Yes. That’s why I am wearing my disguises.” Looma said as she rubbed her hooves sheepishly with a slight blush.

"Hey Helix, you feeling okay?" Flash asked when he noticed Helix looking a little blue.

“Well, it’s just that, all this hero stuff is great, but no one even awarded me for my heroism when most of Equestria and some aliens found out about my identity.” Helix said sadly. “I mean, Twilight and the girls are the Council of Harmony, saved Equestria everytime, the guys from their school saved magic, and well, Celestia and Luna are practically legends and celebrities, but no one even noticed about me. Like I’m a blankslate to this since I found the Omnitrix.”

"Well just think about how the future is going to be.” Helen mentioned after overhearing what he was saying. "I mean, we did see a giant statue of you when we first arrived."

“Yeah, but that’s many years from now.” Helix reminded. “And we still don’t know what happened between those timelines of the battles and missions we have, we don’t even know when they became noticed in all of Equestria. I mean, Twilight and her friends became famous after Nightmare Moon in just one night.”

"Don't worry, you'll get noticed soon and the reason why we were able to be famous is because we've earned it after perseverance and working hard.” Twilight told him while patting his head. "But you always use your powers to do good, not for glory. Am I right?"

“Well, maybe a bit of glory for all the times we--” Rainbow was cut off when Attea used her tongue and licked her ear inside as she yelped. “Ew! Hey!” She called as she rubbed her ear and glared at Attea, who shook her head with a look.

“Not helpful, Rainbow.” Applejack said with a brow before looking at Helix. “I'm sure one day you're going to get appreciated for all the good ya done."

“I guess so.” Helix said with a small shrug before they heard an explosion and screaming. “Speaking of which…” He added as the group got up, but Looma remained behind.

“Uh, I’ll be right back.” Looma said with a slight blush as she rushed behind a rock with her clothes.

The group soon found the source as they saw a bunch of ponies in a boat as it was suddenly caught on fire in the middle of the lake. "Hero time, for a little H2 Overflow!" Helix declared as he activated his Omnitrix, only for him to transform into Bloxx instead. "Oh come on! How do you put out fire with a walking pile of building blocks?" He questioned before he remembered the boat was on fire surrounded by water. "Oh right, water."

Bloxx then formed a water blaster with his arms before he stretched over to the boat and started pumping some of the water into his water blaster. He soon started to put out the fire as the ponies on board the boat were relieved to be saved before they cheered for him. "Thank you giant multi-colored gorilla man!" A mare called out.

“No problem. Not a gorilla man.” Bloxx said with a dull look. “Eh, no matter. I even impressed myself today. A very heroic effort, monumental some might say."

“Tail Hero Tale, to the rescue!” A voice yelled out as Bloxx turned and saw a big fat yellow earth pony stallion with an adventurer set up, black mane and a 5:00 shadow on his face as he gilded to the boat and landed on the boat as he looked at the tiny flame before he stomped it out.

“Rescue?” Bloxx asked with a confused look. “Uh, a little late for that one, pal.” He stated.

“Save your insibib slang for the judge, evil-dooer!” Tail called with a heroic tone.

“Evil? I’m a good guy.” Bloxx stated.

"Then why was this tour boat a flame, you fiend?!"

"I don't know, and I put fires out, I don't start them." Bloxx told him before he thought for a moment. “I mean, unless I'm Heatblast, Swampfire, or NRG." He admitted with a shrug.

“I have no time for answers!” Tail called. “Taste panamanian poison frog blow dart!” He called out as he put some darts into his blow dart and started shooting at Bloxx, who avoided a couple.

“Hey! Seriously, I’m not the bad guy!” Bloxx called before he used his blocked arm to swatted another dart away, which hit Tail’s muzzle as he casually took it out, but his muzzle then bloated.

“Ah!” Tail cried as he panted and search his bag. “Anti-venom!” He cried before he got the anti venom and cracked open the veil as he drank it quickly as he sighs in relief as his muzzle is returned to normal as the swelling went down and opened up his glider. “I’ve got my eye on you, master of evil! Both of them! Chow!” He called as he took off.

“What’s up with him?” Bloxx questioned in wonder. “You don’t just dart someone and fly away like it’s not a thing. I better go after him and get some answers.” He said before he then stretched out his arms and hopped over some boats before he got up to Tail and tackled him down right before the Omnitrix timed out. “Okay, pal, what’s going on? Who are you and why attack me all of sudden?” Helix questioned.

"All right, you really have stoked my curiosity." Tail said as he stood up. "The name is Tail Hero Tale, now it's my turn to ask the questions. You're a colt who turns into what exactly?"

"Helix Watch is the name, and going alien is my game." Helix replied with a smug tone.

“Intriguing.” Tail said while rubbing his chin. “Could you be an alien less in my way? I’ve got meaningful heroin to attend to!”

“Seriously?!” Helix questioned with a growl as he glared at Tail.

"Boys, boys, you're both heroes!" Sweetie Belle spoke up when she stepped in between them. “All right?”

“This imposter! A hero?!” Tail asked in amusement as he gave a laugh. “Nice try.”

Helix growled with a glare, feeling his pride struck from that. “Well, your face is a nice try!” He countered with a glare while pointing a hoof at him.

"Oh come on, if you're both heroes, then shake on it.” Helen told the two as she was trying to get them to shake hooves. “Shake on it.” She said firmly as she pulled their hooves together as they shook before they separated.

“To be fair, in all of my travels, I’ve never met somepony with your powers before.” Tail said while rubbing his chin. “I’m almost impressed.”

“And I have to admit, your pouches of serums and other things are a bit cool.” Helix said to him. “I guess?”

"You really mean that?!" Tail asked with wide eyes and a smile.

“Well, yeah. Maybe you could be a partner or have someone’s sidekick.” Helix said with a shrug.

“The only side I’ll be kicking is yours.” Tail said with a twitching eye.

"You have got to be kidding." Zs'Spoocy said before she and the others were pulled over by Discord who made a few lounge chairs appear.

"Let's just sit back and enjoy the show, it is a hero thing after all." He said before he made popcorn appear with a pair of 3D glasses.

“You really enjoying this, don’t ya, Discord?” Starlight asked with a brow as Discord just shrug.

“You really think you can join the barking with the big dogs?” Helix questioned with a look. “I’ve faced much more than you would think. So why not show me what you got, Tail Zero Tail.” He taunted as he pounded his hooves together.

"This is going to be good." Trixie said with interest.

Tail then took out a stick with faces. “Behold my Hypnototem! You’re paralyzed!” He called, but Helix simply pressed the Omnitrix down and turned into Swampfire, who grabbed the totem and used his flames to burn it to ash, which Tail let go as it fell to the ground while giving Swampfire a look.

"You can't possibly compete with my ninja smoke vial!" Tail challenged before he threw a vial on the ground that let out a smoke screen that covered him.

Helix then transformed into Big Chill, as he then turned invisible. “I may not see you, but I can feel the chills. It feels like failure!” Tail exclaimed.

Tail then pulled some rope from his belt buckle and wrapped it around himself and a rock as he was about to lift it. “Lever amplification of strength through leverage…” He groaned as he barely lifted the boulder off the ground, but Four Arms rushed in and lifted both him and the boulder up, but lost his balance and the two fell down just as the Omnitrix timed out.

Later both of them were panting heavily from exhaustion after a few rounds of trying to best each other. “Look, you may have got skills, but I have a whole year and a half a summer worth of experience!" Helix told Tail. “I mean, I literally have been to space!"

"Yeah, well I've clawed through jungles all my life collecting artifacts and vials to become a hero!" Tail told him.

“Play hero all you want, but it only a matter of time to see who out heroes who to others.” Helix said while looking at his timed out Omnitrix.

“Well, what a coincidence. That time is now.” Tail said as he looked at his watch just as an explosion at the dam went off, which shocked Helix. “How weird is that?”

"It's hero time!" Helix declared after seeing the explosion.

“Yeah! It’s hero time!” Tail called as he brought out his glider. “Ciao!”

“Hey, you’re stealing my line! So not cool!” Helix called with a glare as he was about to follow, but Tail dropped a vial that trapped Helix’s hooves to the ground like glue. “Is this glue?!”

"Good luck, getting out of my Tasmanian tar pit slime!" Tail called out before he flew away.

“That’s not fair!” Pinkie exclaimed. “That’s not even heroic!”

"And just a little bit strange too." Twilight added with suspicion.

“Hang on, Helix!” Lolaxx called as they rushed up to Helix.

“No time to get me free! Helen, Misty, Zs’Spoocy, Ocellus, Smolder, go to the dam and stop the trouble!” Helix called while he struggled to break free, unable to use his Omnitrix since his hooves are stuck.

“Okay, but you better hurry.” Misty said as she activated her Omnitrix and transformed into her version of Jetray before taking off. Ocellus armored up as she carried Smolder on her back before flying away as Helen and Zs'spoocy followed behind. Manny, Lolaxx, and Looma stayed behind to help Helix get out of the sticky situation he's in.

“Great, we’re stuck too!” Manny complained as they struggled to break free.

“This stuff is stronger than my standards!” Looma called as she struggled to break free.

Helix grunted as he looked at the Omnitrix. “If I could just reach the Omnitrix…” He muttered. “Uh, you think you guys can reach my watch for me to go alien?”

"I'm on it!" Cozy called out just before she pressed the button to make the core pop up and slammed it down to transform Helix into Jet Stream.

"Just the alien I needed!" Jet Stream said as he then used his water powers to dissolve the tar pit, freeing him and the others as the tar washed off them. “Thanks, Cozy. Now let’s catch up with the others.” He said as he then shot water down and took off into the air.

Just then, Glitch showed up before stopping in front of Manny, Lolaxx, and Looma. "Need a lift?" He casually asked.

“Man, Glitch, you are a sight for sore eyes.” Manny said as he, Lolaxx and Looma jumped on him.

“Take us to the dam now, Glitch.” Looma instructed as Glitch revved up and took off.

“You gotta admit, they’re good at teamwork.” Fluttershy commented while Twilight gave a suspicious look at where Tail flew off to before she picked up the broken vial that's on the ground.

The heroes all drove, ran, or flew towards the dam, but when they got there, they saw Tail putting up a net over the broken generator, which managed to keep the electricity under control. "You're…You're actually doing a job saving the day." Jet Stream said with a surprised tone.

“The webbing of the somatring king spider insulates electricity! Shocking, isn’t it?” Tail quipped as he gave a historical crazed laughter while the others just gave him a dull look before he finally finished.

"It wasn't that funny, dude." Manny said while crossing his arms.

"Where do you even get all this stuff?" Misty asked before Tail jumped down.

“Wherever the winds of adventure take me! Wherever the screams of those in danger roar like lions!” Tails announced.

“Okay, dude. I’ll admit, maybe you might be a real hero.” Jet Stream said with annoyance before they heard a hatch open up and they looked down and saw a construction pony coming out.

"You just saved the dam!" The construction stallion said with amazement. “Who are you, brave soul?”

“Well, sir, uh…” Smolder tried to say, but Tail cut her off.

“I have many names. Guardian. Protector. But you, citizen, can call me Tail Hero Tale!” Tail declared with a proud look.

“I’m gonna recommend we build a statue in your honor.” The construction pony said, which made Jet Stream shocked by this.

“Are you kidding me?!” Jet Stream yelled, which made his friends flinch from that, knowing that struck a nerve for him.

"Yeah, skedaddle, kiddo." Tail shoo them off. "It's hero time!" He called as Jet Stream gave a sad looked as the crowd cheered him on as Jet Stream walked off a bit before he timed out at the same time Misty did.

“But, I’m the hero.” Helix said sadly, feeling hurt as his hero pride just got shattered.

“Helix…” Misty said in sympathy, never seeing her cousin like this as the others looked at him in sympathy.

"Something is very fishy here!" Twilight called out when Discord opened a portal to them. "Don't you think it was a bit weird that he knew the dam was in trouble before it happened? If that's not enough, then there's this!" She said before pulling out one of his vials with her magic.

“Yeah, that is a bit weird. Like he set his watch through it.” Lolaxx said in suspicious.

"Well Twilight had her suspicions and after y'all went after Tail, we went and did a little investigation." Applejack told them.

“We noticed the vial Tail’s tar bomb had left and decided to check out the scenes of the other accidents.” Delta said with a serious tone. "There was only one other accident, the boat fire."

“It took some digging, but it was just as we expected.” Celestia said with a serious tone before pulling out a vial that looked similar to what Twilight was holding. "Tail uses the exact same vial, so that means he was behind the boat fire."

"And I bet you my wings that there's another one on top of that generator." Rainbow said before Discord snapped his fingers to make a portal appear on top of the generator before he reached in and grabbed a broken vial that was on top of it.

“And apparently, he did the exact same thing to the damn when it exploded.” Discord finished.

Helix then gasped. “Tail’s not a hero, he’s a hero knockoff if he's creating his own disasters!” He exclaimed with a glare at Tail.

“And he’s doing it without any risks, except for everyone else.” Manny growled while cracking his knuckles.

“If I was a betting mare, I would bet my hat he’s not done yet." Applejack said with a firm tone.

"Well guess what, he's so done now." Helix said firmly before activating his Omnitrix and transforming into Krimzon.

Tail turned in surprise as Krimzon and his friends walked forward as they glared at him. “Uh who are they?” The construction pony questioned.

Tail gave a smirk. “Say hello to the super villains behind today’s sabotage!” He accused while pointing at the others as the crowd gasped.

“Super Villains?!” Smolder questioned in hate.

“Super villains?! That’s the worst kind!” The construction pony called in fright before he went back into the hatch.

"Excuse us, we're the villains here?!" Krimzon questions before pointing at Tail. “Maybe you should look in the mirror once in a while, or maybe you forgot these!" He said before he pulled out three of Tail's vials, which made him flinch while the crowd gasped in surprise.

“Hey, hey, hey, now kids.” Tail said a bit nervously as he walked up to them. “There’s a very understandable explanation for all this. I just wanted to be a hero is all. A few minor mishaps and epic lives saved and boom, yeah?” He asked as he tossed the vials Krimzon had away. “Nothing but hero club.”

Krizmo then harshly pushed Tail away. “There's only one club for guys like you, and it meets behind bars.” He told Tail as he had a look on his face before he pulled out another vial from his pouch.

“Oh, yeah? Will I hope you all like a taste of bermuda serpent saliva!” Tail called as he tossed his vial at the heroes, who ducked as it flew over them and hit the edge of the dam, which caused it to melt and caused a huge part of it to dissolved.

“You threw that on a dam?!” Twilight questioned in rage. “Terrible idea! Even for a villain like you!”

"Aha, that was an accident!" Tail said in his defense with a shrug. “I can fix that, no problem! The folks will see a little trickle of water, and I'll swoop right in to--" He then got really nervous when the crack grew bigger as more water started coming out. “Ha, that’s a big crack.” He said nervously.

"Okay, stay cool." Krimzon said as he looked at the situation. "What we need to do here is--"

"RUN!!!" Tail screamed as he ran off.

“Real heroes always keep calm under pressure!” Misty yelled out as Krimzon tried to seal up the crack, but it broke through as the dam rumbled and Tail fell over.

Tail just gave a chuckle. “Exactly why I’m flying away so--” He was cut off when his glider opened and rocks poke through them as Tail then screamed again as he fell into the water.

“Oh for the love of…!” Krimzon cursed before he looked at the others. "You guys get the others to safety, I'll get Tail."

“You got it, couz!” Misty said as she transformed into her version of Heatblast.

“Becareful, Helix.” Helen said in concern.

“Always.” Krimzon said as his friends went off to get the ponies and other creatures to safety as he jumped down and created crystal platforms to move around and provide cover for the workers below as he jumped into the water and saw Trail sinking down to the depths before he swam down and unhooked his glider, which made Tail to start swimming up while Krimzon was sinking down since he’s made of crystal.

Soon Tail resurfaced as he gasped for air while the others looked on in concern. “Where’s Helix?!” Dust asked in concern as Tail was about to escape, but a crystal pillar sprouted from below him as he was launched into the air and Krimzon appeared from the water from his pillar as he caught Tail and glared at him.

“No more playing the hero, Tail. It’s for real this time! Got it!?” Krizmo questioned with a glare as Tail nodded nervously before they went up, which made Tail screamed in fear as they went up to the crack. “It’s hero time, Tail!”

"What…What do I do?!" Tail question fearfully.

"Your tar bombs, now!" Krimzon shouted, which made Tail quickly pull out a couple of his tar bomb vials before throwing them at the crack., causing the water to flow in the crack instead of flowing out, which gave Krimzon an idea. “Keep going! I have an idea!” He called out as they continued up to go up the crack as Tail threw more tar bombs before they made it to the top.

Tail made a girly scream. “Don’t drop me! Don’t drop me!” He cried before they fell down as Krimzon caught him.

“I gotcha, you big baby.” Krimzon said as he then sealed the crack completely while Tail screamed before they made it to the bottom as Krimzon tossed Tail to the water as he stood proudly as Tail resurfaced and gasped for air.

Tail then glared at Krimzon. “Ha, a childish insult! Everyone knows I was the one who saved the day!” He called out.

“Yeah, after you wreck it in the first place.” Krimzon said with a glare. “Here’s the thing about being a hero: It’s about putting up for what’s first and making sure to protect those in need instead of causing it or just doing it for the glory. It’s about courage and doing the right thing, and having friends by your side to help you through it. That’s what being a true hero is all about. And you were never one to begin with.”

Just then, the police boat came in, having been told by Princess Twilight about the situation as they launched a net around Tail and hoisted him up as the Earth Pony glared at Krimzon. “When we meet again, Helix Watch, it’s villain time.” He growled before he was dropped into the boat.

"There you go, now you have your very own catch phrase!" Krimzon called out as they took Tail away.

A bit later back at the fishing spot, Helix was sitting by the docks in thought while his friends were close to him. "You feeling okay, beloved?" Looma asked while hugging him from behind.

"Yeah, I'm good." Helix simply replied before a stallion holding a big fish trophy walked up to them.

"Excuse me, which one of you is Looma Red Wind?" The stallion asked. “I wanted to give her this trophy for having the most fish she caught!” He called as Looma smiled widely at her trophy.

“Okay, do they have a trophy for everything?” Spike questioned with a brow.

“And that’s a big trophy Looma just got.” Rainbow added as Helix sighed. “Oh, uh, sorry, Helix.”

“Forget it.” Helix muttered while looking out to the lake. “I just saw the very ugly side of pride, and its name is Tail Hero Tale." He said while Looma looked at her trophy.

“Well, I guess you don’t want your reward.” Dust said with a smirk.

“A reward? What award?” Helix asked in confusion as he turned to his parents.

"Just a little something we all made to help get your spirits up." Delta replied before they looked at Pinkie, who brought out a perfectly wooden sculpture trophy of Helix with wings and holding a ball that was supposed to be their home planet.

“A betty?” Helix asked in surprise as Pinkie gave him the betty. “Y-You guys made this for me?”

"Well, I like to call it a Helixy and just think of this as like the first of many that might come in the future for all the good you've done." Pinkie told him.

Helix looked at his betty for a bit before he smiled and hugged his parents as his friends gathered around in a group hug. “Thanks, guys. That means a lot.” He said with a joyful smile.

“What are friends and family are for, cous?” Flash asked with a smile as the group kept the group hug around Helix together, while Helix isn’t popular to all of Equestria because of his heroic deeds, he at least had his friends and family to help him through and stopped a hero knock-off from hurting others.

Author's Note

Hey everyone, I was thinking about replacing Blueage and Dreba with a female brainstorm and a male Galvan that is part of the plumbers. However I don't know what names to give them, so I'm wondering if any of you have any ideas for them. Please leave your name ideas in the comments below.
