G5 Adventures in Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie
A Bitter-Sweet Ending for All Involved
Previous ChapterWell, as of now, there are a few pieces of good news and bad news to share.
The good news was that the school, the town of Piqua and the world were safe once again, and Evander and Jaliya were both going to be going to prison for their crimes.
The bad news was Professor Poopypants and Alterro both got away, with Alterro mentioning his revenge would not only go on the Mane 6, but also Equestria and the realm of Skyros.
Now... we only have a little longer to go until we reach the end of our story, so let's get back to it, shall we?

The Mane 6 turned back to normal once they got to the safety of George, Harold and Kendra’s treehouse, where they finally breathed a sigh of relief-- their problems were over for now, and they could finally let all of the burdens of the last few days off of their shoulders.
At the moment, Captain Underpants was still reading one of the comic books that Kendra and the boys had made for the events of the day, completely forgetting what had just happened a half hour before. “Did not see that coming! Take that, Doctor Diaper!”
George let out a small, yet comforting sigh, a sad smile on his face. “I can’t believe we made him.”
“And,” Pipp nodded slightly, “he’s even dumber in real life.”
Captain Underpants gasped as he got to a specific page that Harold personally called his favorite. “Oh! Look! Little dolphins! Hee hee…”
Harold then frowned, realizing what they had to do going forward. “...we have to get rid of him, don’t we?” he asked, referring to Captain Underpants. “I think you do,” Sunny nodded gently. “I mean… if you all think about it, he’s a way bigger problem than Principal Krupp ever was.”
That’s when Kendra’s eyes trailed back to the picture of Principal Krupp on the dartboard, a sad thought reaching her mind. “But… you know, fellas… bringing back Krupp permanently... we'll never be in the same class again.”
George nodded sadly at this. “Yeah, I know.”
“But… hang on, guys,” Zipp said gently as she got up to face them. “Just cause you’re in separate classes doesn’t mean you can’t be friends.”
“Well, yeah. I mean, we'll always be friends,” Harold nodded. “Right?”
“Absolutely!” Misty smiled. “Being friends doesn’t stop when you go to separate classes, or if you’re far away from each other. What matters about being friends is what comes from the heart. And you three have some of the biggest hearts we’ve ever seen.”
“And we’re sure,” said Hitch, “you’ll come up with a way to keep your friendship going strong. Even when we’re not here.”
That was when George seemed to get an idea as to what they could do. “Hey, in fact, you know what? Let's do a blood oath. But minus the blood. I don't wanna see the blood. No blood.”
“Pinky swear?” Izzy suggested, only for George to frown and cross his arms. “No, that’s lame.”
“Oh! Got it!” Harold said before spitting into his hand and holding it out. “Oh, no. What? No! That’s not sanitary!” Kendra scolded. “Can't we just do a verbal declaration of friendship or something?”
“Ohhhh, good idea!” Pipp nodded. “A verbal promise you guys will never stop being friends, no matter what comes your way.”
Harold realized that Pipp may have been onto something and rubbed his hands on his shorts to clear away the spit. “Oh. Okay. Yeah, wow. I haven't really prepared anything, but… ahem. I, Harold... hereby declare George and Kendra my best friends, permanently, forever.”
Kendra giggled and raised her paw. “And I, Kendra, pledge to do the same thing, permanently, forever as well.”
However, George seemed to struggle a bit as he raised his hand as well. “And I, George, accept the permanent rights... that Harold and Kendra have given me to be their best friend forever... and the constitution of friends…”
“You know? I don’t think it matters how you word it,” said Sunny with an encouraging smile. “As long as you really mean it.”
It was then that Kendra and the boys let out a unison sigh of relief, happy that the whole situation was put to bed after several long days of suffering. “What a relief,” Harold said before George nodded in agreement. “I mean, why were we even worried about that whole classroom thing in the first place?”
Kendra giggled at this. “I don’t really remember! We were younger then. Clearly, we have grown.”
Pipp giggled to herself when this was said. “Yeah, said the guys who hypnotized their principal into thinking he’s a comic book character. But you know… I really don’t mind that anymore.”
“Chums! Thank you for chronicling my surprisingly grounded biography. The truth is a slippery thing. And you nailed it!” Captain Underpants said, rubbing each of them on the head with a laugh before standing up again. “Now it is time to fly again! Farewell, my dear sidekicks.”
George smiled sadly as he pulled out the hypno-ring. “Goodbye, Captain Underpants.”
“Goodbye,” Harold said sadly. “We’re gonna miss you,” Kendra said with a slight sniffle. “But… we’ll never forget you,” Sunny added. “Right, guys?”
The other ponies smiled at this, realizing that Sunny was right. “Right.”
“Okay, guys…” Misty looked at the boys expectantly. “Do your thing.”
It was then that George dropped the ring to the ground before stomping on it, shattering it and causing a wave of energy to spread throughout the treehouse before disappearing a few seconds later.
Then, Principal Krupp babbled and woke up from his hypnosis to discover he was back in the treehouse with the nine friends looking on. “Kendra! George! Harold! What am I doing in your tree house again?!” he commanded to know before he fell out of the treehouse, causing the others to rush to the window to check on him. “You kids are in big trouble!” Principal Krupp kept stammering, bumping into things in the yard as he spoke. “I don’t know how big yet… why does this keep happening?! Where are my clothes?!”
And within just a few minutes, he was gone. After a moment, Kendra let out an unsure sigh. “I don't get it. Why is Krupp so angry and Captain Underpants so happy?”
“Well… maybe it’s because Captain Underpants had us,” Izzy said gently. “You know… he had… friends.”
“...Izzy’s right,” Zipp realized. “You guys remember how dark and lonely Krupp’s house seemed… right? Maybe if he had a friend, maybe things wouldn’t be so hard on him.”
George seemed to catch onto what the ponies were saying, and a smile came onto his face as he seemed to get an idea. “We could fix that.”
“...yeah,” Harold nodded. “You know, we could.”
“A prank for good… I love it!” Pipp smiled. “Just show us what we need to do, and we’ll help you pull this off.”

The next day at school, Principal Krupp was sorting through his mail in his mailbox when he discovered a pink letter with his name on it. He opened it and it had a heart shaped letter, which he read aloud. “Do you wanna go on a date…?”
Principal Krupp spit the donut he was eating out when he saw this. “A date?!” he exclaimed before looking to see who the letter was from. “Love… Edith?”
XXXXXXXX
As it turns out, it was Kendra, George and Harold who planted these letters, and they had given one to Edith the lunch lady too, making her excited for the date ahead. “Oh! Benjamin Krupp, you sly dog.”
XXXXXXXX
And if you can believe it, Principal Krupp seemed pretty happy about his impending date too. “Edith… the lunch lady…”
But as he prepared to walk out of the office, George, Kendra, her siblings, Harold and the Mane 6 walked by, with George deciding to make a friendly conversation out of it. “Big plans tonight, Mr. Krupp?”
“No! What? That’s none of your business!” Principal Krupp snapped before he cleared his throat and regained his composure. “But, if you must know… yeah, I actually do.”
The Mane 6 smiled at each other before they saw Principal Krupp getting a few comic books out of the garbage and handing them back to Kendra and the boys. “By the way, I was tidying up my office and I believe these belong to you.”
Kendra gasped as soon as she saw the comics in question. “These are our Captain Underpants comics! Thank you!”
“...um… did you just pull them out of the trash can?” Hitch asked in disgust, but Principal Krupp chose to ignore the comment at hand. “Well, I read them... and considering they're completely implausible, juvenile... and filled with the lowest form of wit... potty humor... they're actually pretty funny,” he said before walking off, a bit more pep in his step. “See you later!”
“Huh…” Harold commented as they watched Principal Krupp skip away. “Well, how about that?”
“I guess a prank for good is actually what Principal Krupp needed all along,” Treena smiled. “We’re proud of you guys.”
“Aw, thanks sis,” Kendra smiled before noticing something appearing behind the ponies. “Hey… what’s that?”
The Mane 6 glanced behind them to see the portal igniting behind them, and Misty let out a sad sigh as she turned to face their new friends again. “That’s our cue to head back to Equestria... we have to warn our friends about Alterro coming around, so they can be prepared.”
“Hold on a sec,” George said as he reached behind him and pulled out a single comic book. “Here-- we made this last night... something that you can read to remember us all by.”
Hitch took the comic book with valid interest. “Captain Underpants and the Unity Squad Unite... you made a comic book with us in it?”
“That’s so sweet!” Sunny smiled warmly. “Thank you so much.”
“We actually have presents for all of you, too,” Izzy said as she reached all of them hoof-made friendship bracelets. “They have our cutie marks on them so you remember you have friends in Equestria supporting you all the way.”
Kendra sniffled a bit at this, but her smile shone much brighter than her tears. “Thank you, ponies... for everything.”
And with a few heartfelt hugs and farewell wishes, the Mane 6 turned and leapt into the portal, leaving the town of Piqua and Jerome Horwitz Elementary behind.

“Oh, you're back!” Allura said as the Mane 6 slowly emerged from the portal again, with Sparky and Twitch running to greet them. “The boys and I have been waiting for you to...”
However, Allura had to pause when she saw the worried expressions on the ponies' faces. “Um... what's wrong?”
“...Allura? We have an update about Alterro,” Sunny said sadly. “But... I don't think it's one that you're gonna like.”

That night, back in Piqua, the giant Turbo Toilet 2000 was thrown away into a Toilet Recycling Center which was next door to a restaurant called “It’s Amore!” where the leopard siblings, George and Harold saw Principal Krupp and Edith having their date.
Kendra smiled with a happy sigh as she watched them. “You know, it feels good to do something nice for Mr. Krupp.”
Harold nodded in agreement to this. “Yeah, you know what? It does.”
“...promise we'll never do it again,” George said with a look of seriousness, and Harold and the leopard siblings smiled back at him. “Promise.”
“Oh, my! I've never been to such a fancy restaurant before,” Edith said as she admired Principal Krupp’s handsome face. “Well, I had to go all out for m'lady,” Principal Krupp said with a chuckle, causing Edith to chuckle with a blush on her face. “Okay, if you say so, my man!”
Edith and Mr. Krupp chuckled for a few moments before Claudia turned to her siblings and Kendra’s friends with a happy smile. “You know, guys, I think this really brings our story to it's happy conclusion.”
Harold nodded at this as they began to walk away from the restaurant. “I think there's some valuable life lessons in there... somewhere.”
Suddenly, Treena held up her paw upon hearing a strange sound. “Wait... do you guys hear something?”
But before anyone else could respond, the toilets at the toilet deposit site came to life by the radioactive leftovers as they chanted “Yum, yum, eat ‘em up!”.
This caused Kendra and her older sisters to shriek in fright, clinging to each other in shock. “Oh, you have to be kidding me!” Heath growled. “No... no!!”
In the restaurant, a man got eaten up by a toilet gone nuts, and even Edith had to admit, she was getting a bit nervous herself. “Oh, whoa!”
“Uh... waiter!” Principal Krupp cried. “Check, please!”
However, as he snapped his fingers together, Principal Krupp fell under the hypnosis again, which caused him to take off his clothes and grab the tablecloth as a cape, much to Edith's surprise. “Principal Krupp!”
“Oh, no!!” Kendra, George, Harold and Kendra’s siblings said as the toilets got closer, prompting them to scream. “HELP!!!”
Luckily, Captain Underpants burst through the window and flew out with the two boys hanging onto his cape. “Hang on, sidekicks!” the superhero exclaimed as the leopard siblings took off after them. “I don’t get it!” George shouted to Harold and the others. “I really thought breaking that ring would get rid of his powers!”
“Yeah, well...” Harold shouted as Captain Underpants charged through the toilets, knocking them over, “...here we go again...!!!”
That was when the group flew up through the clouds toward the moon, where Captain Underpants uttered his special catchphrase one final time for all the people of Piqua to hear...
“Tra-la-laaa!!!!!!!”
