G5 Adventures in Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie
Painfully Separated and the Villains' Plan is Revealed
Previous ChapterNext ChapterKendra, George and Harold were going to be dreading the next day at Jerome Horwitz Elementary WAY more than any other day in their whole lives.
Principal Krupp was finally going to put them in separate classes, and he had banished the Mane 6 from the school, so they wouldn't be able to be happy anymore.
Not to mention, Avarsi mentioned the night before that Evander and Jaliya had gone missing, and that got the Mane 6 a tad bit more worried than they should.
What if Evander and Jaliya were going to try and pull something to get the kids away from Avarsi?
Nevertheless... they had to stay strong for their friends, and hope that somehow... someway...
...Avarsi would be right, and things would work out for the best.

The next day at the school (which proved to be a rather gloomy day indeed), the Mane 6 walked Kendra, her siblings, George and Harold to school, but couldn't step inside, which got Izzy a bit emotional.
The leopard siblings, George and Harold hugged their pony pals goodbye one final time before going inside the school, where Principal Krupp was waiting to split the three comic-making best friends up.
The only good thing about this was, when George went one way and Harold went another way, Claudia and Treena learned that Kendra would be put in their class for the time being, which was right down the hall from Heath's kindergarten class, so... at least Kendra would have family around.
But that didn't seem to cheer anyone else up.
As the day went on, the Mane 6 (cloaked in Misty's invisibility spell) peered into the windows of the classrooms where George, Harold and the leopard siblings were to check on them, and just like they guessed, their friends were miserable being without each other.
And seeing their friends so miserable broke the Mane 6's hearts.
After a whole of watching, Zipp groaned and flew down from the window. “I can’t believe we just have to sit out here and do nothing!” she said, clearly unhappy. “This… this is so unfair!”
“I know, Zipp… I know,” Sunny nodded sadly. “But… Principal Krupp has made this school pony-proof to the end.”
“...he may have made it pony-proof,” Misty said after a moment, causing her friends to look over at her, “but he didn’t make it magic-proof! Don’t ask me how, but I think I have us a way to get inside without Principal Krupp knowing!”

At the same time, inside his office, Principal Krupp was proud of himself now that George, Kendra and Harold were separated once and for all, and away from their new pony friends was just the tip of the iceberg. However, he looked at the tuna casserole with his name on it and starts to feel sad.
But... why was he starting to feel sad?
He hadn't allowed himself to feel any emotions except for angry here recently, so... what was the problem?

Around the same timeframe as all this was going on, Melvin, Professor Poopypants, Alterro and the brainwashed Evander and Jaliya were looking over the Sizerator 2000, which Professor Poopypants kept as a reminder of his genius work... and as a way to remind himself that he would always be laughed at, no matter where he went. “This thing is amazing, Professor P,” Melvin said in an amazed tone. “You could probably solve world hunger with an invention like this.”
“Pass!” Professor Poopypants gagged. “More importantly... how do I look?”
“You look just as you do in this comic!” Alterro said, pushing the comic forward with his paw before clearing his throat. “But more… sophisticated, mind you.”
“Good! Now, hands off the merchandise,” Professor Poopypants said, taking the Sizerator away from Melvin, “and go fetch your little toilet, okay?”
“Evander! Jaliya!” Alterro then barked. “Go and help Melvin!”
“Yes, master,” Evander and Jaliya said in their mind-controlled voices before going off after Melvin, who after a moment, brought back the Turbo Toilet and smiled proudly. “I call it the Turbo…”
“Yeah, yeah. Couple of gold stars for you, kiddo,” Professor Poopypants dismissed before using Jaliya as a stepstool to get on top of the toilet. “Let the Poopageddon begin!”
And then, with his Sizerator 2000, the professor made the Turbo Toilet 2000 grow into a giant robot monster. However, upon closer inspection, he realized that it needed fuel. “ What? Oh, you've gotta be joking me! Poopypants has no gas! You can't write this stuff. Where would a burgeoning villain find unlimited power?”
“Well…” Alterro said as he and his minions came forward, with Evander holding Melvin in his paws, “allow us to share some of our power to charge your device, professor. A small amount of magic is a simple payment for the destruction of those meddlesome ponies, after all.”
“Oooh, perfect! With your magic,” the professor said as Evander set Melvin down, “this toilet will be indestructible! Do what you must!”
“Yes, but please do not break anything!” Melvin pleaded. “It took me two months to put together and program!”
“Oh, we won’t,” Alterro said as he watched his paws, Evander’s paws and Jaliya’s paws ignite with magic. “But when we are through… those miserable little ponies will have been broken, piece by piece… until there is NOTHING left of them.”

A bright light flashed in the hallways in front of the school auditorium, and out from that flash came the Mane 6, panting tiredly after using their combined unity magic to teleport inside the school. “Misty, that was amazing!” Sunny congratulated. “How did you know that would work?”
“To be honest, it was just a hunch,” said Misty with a tired shrug. “Now, we need to find our friends and get them back together one way or another, but keep the cloaking spell on at all times-- we can’t risk any teachers seeing us.”
And so, once they split up into three groups of two (Hitch and Misty, Izzy and Zipp, Sunny and Pipp) they raced off into three different directions to ensure they found their friends before anything worse happened.
XXXXXXXX
Izzy and Zipp had found their way to the classroom where George was, while Sunny and Pipp found their way to the leopard siblings’ classroom and Hitch and Misty found their way to Harold’s classroom.
And surprisingly, each of the three teachers in those three classrooms were going on and on about the same list of elements. “Memorize these elements... Oxygen. Beryllium. Boringillium. Lameium. Snoronium.”
Needless to say, it was a topic so boring that it would even put Hitch to sleep. But suddenly, the Mane 6 and, in their own seperate classrooms, Kendra, her sisters and brother, George and Harold had the moment to look up from their depression to see a car being thrown into the street by what looked to be…
…a giant toilet!
And it seemed to be heading toward the school!
The Mane 6 each got their friends' attention through the small windows in the door, and in their classrooms, Kendra, George and Harold stood up. “Excuse me, everybody, there's a giant…”
However, each of the three individual teachers echoed the same response. “Do not interrupt while I'm reading monotone from my textbook!”
Fortunately for the Mane 6, Kendra, George and Harold, along with Kendra’s siblings, refused to give this up and were desperate to warn the others. “But the toilet!”
Hoeever, the teachers just sighed when they heard this. “Just go...”
XXXXXXXX
Izzy, Zipp and George managed to get to the bathroom first and were trying to get a good visual by the time that Harold and Kendra burst into the room, and the three best friends looked at each other in happiness.
“Kendra? Harold?”
“George?”
Needless to say, the three friends were overjoyed, and as they started to hug each other, the ground shook, causing them to fall over and onto the cold, hard bathroom floor. “Ow!!”
“Oooh…” Pipp groaned as she and the other ponies, as well as Kendra’s siblings, entered the small bathroom. “That’s gonna hurt in the morning.”
“Uh, hate to break the reunion up,” said Treena, “but… aren’t there more pressing matters we should be tending to? Like… I don’t know… a giant toilet heading right for our school?!”
It was at that moment that our heroes heard a woman screaming as the giant robot arrived, with a trio of flying leopards not far behind. Then, as the student body, including our heroes, watched from the windows, Professor Poopypants’ voice echoed from within the giant toilet. “Students and faculty of Jerome Horwitz Elementary… the world, as you know it, is about to go extinct. And a new world order is about to rise! One that is, you know, honestly pretty similar to the old-world order… except for one tiny detail…”
It was then that a hatch was opened on the outside, and it pulled up a lightbulb-like machine with Melvin’s head attached to it. But of course, Izzy was the first to respond to this stunning reveal. “Melvin?!”
“Coming at ya!” Melvin said with a smirk, just as two of the three leopards landed beside the lightbulb-styled machine…
…two leopards Kendra recognized immediately. “T-That… that’s Dad and Jaliya!” she gasped, her eyes wide. “They’ve been working with Professor Poopypants this whole time?!”
“But… who’s that other leopard with them?” Harold tilted his head to get a better look. “Another coworker of Evander’s?”
Zipp pulled out her visor to scan the cutie mark of the leopard, and after matching it with some things Allura showed them, her eyes went wide in terror. “Oh, no, Harold, it’s WAY worse than that. Remember how we told you about Allura’s evil brother Alterro who got banished in another world a long time ago?”
“Yeah, but… hold on, that’s him?!” Claudia screeched. “I think so,” Zipp said. “They all must be working together for some reason!”
And low and behold, Professor Poopypants was about to reveal what that reason was. “Powered by Melvin's unique neurology and the magic of Alterro and his crones,” Professor Poopypants said to the school from inside the Turbo Toilet, “I will successfully disable the Hahaguffawchuckleamalus of every single child at Jerome Horwitz Elementary! For I, Professor Poopypants…”
It was then that the kids got a kick out of Professor Poopypants’ name, causing Alterro to chuckle sadistically as he landed right near Evander and Jaliya. “Yes, yes, it’s a funny name, isn’t it? It just makes you laugh and laugh… RIGHT?!”
With that, Evander, Alterro and Jaliya charged their magic and placed their paws on the lightbulb-styled machine, which blasted a golden ray right toward the students… and it would have hit our heroes too if Misty hadn’t taken action. “GET DOWN!!”
The group immediately dove for cover at the sound of Misty's shrill cry, dodging the effects of the beam, but unfortunately, the rest of the student body got hit, and they suddenly became dull and lifeless zombies. “Still give you the chuckles now?” Professor Poopypants said as he rode on the robot’s hand to get closer to the students. “Poopypants?”
“I don’t get it,” the students droned on. “Why is that funny?”
“Ha ha!” Alterro smirked sadistically. “It’s perfect!”
“Finally!” Melvin said with a smile. “You're speaking my language!”
“Oh, no,” Sunny looked as if she might hyperventilate at any moment. “This is bad-- really bad!”
“Sunny’s right,” George agreed with a frantic look. “I mean, you guys facing Allura's evil brother is bad enough, but... a world without laughter?”
Kendra suddenly put her paws on Harold and George’s shoulders with her own frantic expression. “Guys, if he destroys our sense of humor, he destroys us!”
Harold let out a horrified gasp. “Imagine how boring our comics will be… Captain Underpants and the Purchase of the Sensible Beige Pants.”
George let out a shudder as he thought of another title. “Captain Underpants Eats All of His Falafel…”
Suddenly, Hitch seemed to think of the most boring title a comic book could think of. “Captain Underpants Watches Cement Dry…!!!”
This led the leopard siblings, George and Harold to scream in fright, but the ponies were able to silence them before their cover was blown... and right before Alterro began speaking again. “And further more... you don’t have to hide any longer, my little ponies… I know you’re here… and this will FINALLY be the day that I eliminate you once and for all! The very task my so-called sister and her minion couldn’t bring themselves to complete.”
“Wait… he knows that Allura and Twitch reformed?” Pipp looked confused. “How?”
“And would the creators of this absolutely hilarious comic book please come out, come out, wherever you are?” Professor Poopypants called before throwing the latest Captain Underpants issue into the robot’s mouth, which was filled with a radioactive liquid that Professor Poopypants had been testing. “You’re ALL next!”
Luckily, the group was able to duck out of sight as the professor used the Turbo Toilet’s light to begin searching the windows, and once they were sure the light had passed, Kendra let out a shaky sigh. “Oh man…” Kendra muttered. “We have to stop them! Dad and Jaliya included!”
That was when Harold tried to think of a solid plan. “We’ve gotta find a way to distract those leopards and unplug Melvin.”
“Well, yeah,” said George, “but do we get to them without Poopypants seeing us?”
That was when the Mane 6 each had an idea, with Sunny taking the opportunity to speak. “We may have an idea for distracting Alterro and his crones… and that idea is called ‘Operation: Unity Squad’!”
With that, the Mane 6's cutie marks began to glow, and as Harold, George and the leopard siblings shielded their eyes, the six ponies were transformed into their superhero alter-egos:
- Sunny wore the same mask from the Manesquerade Ball, along with the same yellow and blue highlights on her legs, with a blue cape and glowing shoes of light under the name Cosmic Sunlight.
- Pipp wore her Manesquerade mask as well, as well as a gold and purple cape, and the same gold and purple on her legs, going under the alias Harmonizer.
- Izzy also wore her Manesquerade mask, as well as glitter in her mane and tail, a purple stripe in her mane while her legs had light green and pink highlights, and she also wore her crafting sash with her purple and green cape, going under the alias Multi-Crafter.
- Zipp wore her Manesquerade mask, with light blue and pink and her hooves had lightning bolts on them and a blue and pink cape, going under the alias of Royal Bolt.
- Hitch wore his mask as well, and had the colors lime green and pink on his hooves and mane, along with a green cape, as well as the alias The Masked Defender.
- And finally, there was Misty, who had pink and yellow on her legs, her original blue-and-green mane coloring, a golden swirl on her horn, a half-butterfly, peacock-like mask and a yellow and pink cape, going under the alias of Butterfly Whisperer.
“Holy guacamole!” Heath gasped in shock as the light faded away. “Y-You guys are superheroes?!”
“Why didn’t you say anything?” George asked. “Well, we don’t like to reveal our superhero forms unless we absolutely have to,” Misty said, “and this is an ABSOLUTELY have-to situation.”
“If we can lure Alterro and his new minions away from here,” said Hitch, “Kendra, George and Harold can find a way to get up to Melvin and shut him down while Claudia, Treena and Heath run to get Avarsi for help-- she’ll know how to take the leopards down for good.”
“That’s all well and good and everything,” Pipp said, “but there’s still Poopypants we need to keep busy!”
“Pipp’s right,” Harold nodded. “How are we gonna distract him? He’s… pretty smart, if you haven’t noticed.”
Suddenly, the group turned when they heard the door open, and walking into the bathroom was Mr. Krupp himself, who after a moment, saw the group and suddenly became enraged. “What are you all doing together?!”
It was then that everyone seemed to get the same idea, nodding to George and Harold expectantly.
Turning Principal Krupp back into Captain Underpants posed a lot of different risks, but if they were going to save the students, the elementary school the Mane 6 had grown fond of, the entire town and this world…
…they really didn’t have much of a choice.
This could be their toughest battle to date... and they were ready to embrace it with open arms.
