G5 Adventures in Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie

The Mane 6 had seen a lot on their Unity Quest, but this was definitely topping things off as their weirdest Unity Quest to date.

George, Harold and Kendra, alongside the Mane 6, accidentally hypnotized Mr. Krupp and Kendra and the boys got him to believe he was Captain Underpants, the hero in all their comic books.

And then... Captain Underpants went through the city trying to fight a giant gorilla balloon, causing the Mane 6 and their new friends to chase after him and then, they had to think of someplace to bring Captain Underpants/Mr. Krupp (whichever you prefer) so that way he wouldn't be seen and viewed as a maniac more than he already was.

But as the sun prepared to go down, Kendra suddenly thought of the safest place for Captain Underpants to hide out... and a perfect place for our heroes to figure out what to do next.

Kendra had the brilliant idea to take Captain Underpants to their treehouse in George’s backyard, and needless to say, Captain Underpants was very impressed with the layout of the place, beginning to explore as Sunny got them all some cups of water and some snacks from George’s house. “Chums! What an astounding headquarters!” Captain Underpants said to the group. “Stuffed full of relics... all celebrating my interplanetary exploits!”

That’s when he picked up a plunger and sighed happily. “Oh, this takes me back.”

“Is it just me,” Misty whispered, “or does this keep getting weirder and weirder by the second?”

“Well, if you want me to be honest, yeah,” Hitch nodded as Sunny returned with water and apple slices. “But then again… this is actually kinda rewarding, if you consider all the stuff Krupp put George, Harold and Kendra through.”

“But what are we gonna do?” Harold then asked. “He can't just stay here. We have to turn him back into Krupp.”

“Yeah, I know,” Kendra sighed with a sad-looking nod before suddenly smiling again. “But can we just take a moment to acknowledge what's happening here please? I mean, Captain Underpants is hanging out in our treehouse!”

“Look at the cute little turtle. Oh, he's so adorable,” Captain Underpants cooed over the Tattle Turtle, causing the Mane 6 and their friends to laugh. “Man… this is actually kinda funny,” Zipp sighed. “But… like Harold said, we have to turn him back into Krupp sooner or later.”

“Yeah, but we don’t know anything about hypnosis,” Sunny argued as she shook her head. “It could take us a while to figure out the right combination of Equestrian magic needed to undo the spell and turn him back to normal.”

That was when Captain Underpants tossed away the Tattle Turtle and stood up boldly again. “Well, a hero's work is never done. Now it is time to fly again!”

“No no no no no!” George cried out in desperation and threw some water at Captain Underpants, somehow turning him back into Krupp, who seemed disoriented and mildly confused. “Where am I? Where are my pants?!”

“Uh-oh!” Izzy gulped nervously, hiding behind Sunny. “I-I think he turned into meanie Krupp again!”

Mr. Krupp screamed in rage, but when Kendra snapped her paws, the hypnosis kicked in again, turning him back into Captain Underpants. “Tra-la-laaa!”

“Holy spots, that’s it!” Kendra quickly exclaimed to her friends with a smile gracing her face. “Now we know what turns him back and forth!”

“Turns who what?” Captain Underpants asked before Harold splashed his face with water, turning him into Krupp again. “Why am I soaking wet?!”

“Oh, cool!” Harold said with an excited grin. Then, for the next few minutes, Kendra and the boys took turns soaking Krupp with water and turning him back again, amazed at how quickly he was able to turn back and forth with just a snap and a little splash of water.

But after a moment of turning Krupp into Captain Underpants and vice versa, Sunny felt the brief need to step in. “Okay, guys, this has been fun and everything, but maybe we should stop before somebody ends up getting hurt, whether it’s Captain Underpants or Mr. Krupp.”

“Yeah, you’re right, Sunny,” Harold shrugged. “We probably should.”

But did that stop Harold, George and Kendra from what they were doing? Well… you can guess that the answer to that question is a big fat no.

They proceeded to squirt, spray and blast water at Captain Underpants repeatedly, turning him back into Krupp repeatedly, then snapping their fingers repeatedly to turn him back into Captain Underpants-- they even went as far as dousing him with a bunch of water balloons!

But finally, after Mr. Krupp had passed out on the floor from exhaustion, the Mane 6 glanced at the trio in disappointment. “Way to go, guys,” Hitch frowned. “NOW do you think you should have stopped?”

“...maybe…?” George smiled nervously before sighing. “Okay, yeah, I guess we are having a little too much fun with this.”

“We can’t let anyone else see him like this,” Zipp said. “If someone like Melvin Sneedly were to find out, we would ALL be in huge trouble!”

“And especially not my family,” Kendra added. “Mom’s already going through a hard time as it is with the… divorce and all. But, if Dad or my siblings found out about this, they…”

“Hey, Kendra!”

The group screamed and turned to see Claudia and Treena fluttering inside the treehouse and huddled around the unconscious Mr. Krupp, trying to keep him from sight. “Uh, hey, guys!” Misty said nervously. “W-W-What’s up?”

“You guys didn’t meet us at the front of the school like usual,” Claudia said, “so we wanted to come and check up on you after we dropped Heath off at home, so…”

Suddenly, Treena saw Mr. Krupp unconscious and in his underwear, causing her to scream. “Guys! Why the hey is Mr. Krupp unconscious in your treehouse?!”

“...man…” Pipp muttered. “I knew the pony, kid and leopard shield tactic wasn’t gonna work.”

“Okay… before the two of you go running your snouts off,” said Sunny, “we need to take the opportunity to explain.”

“But while we do so,” Zipp said, “we need to find a way to get Mr. Krupp home without anyone else suspecting anything.”

Izzy pulled out Mr. Krupp’s clothes from out of nowhere and pulled out his wallet, her eyes spotting something of interest inside. “Here’s his address on his driver’s license! Maybe that can help!”

“Izzy, you’re a genius!” Misty exclaimed. “That’s just what we need to get Mr. Krupp home!”

“...but… did you seriously just pull his clothes from out of nowhere?” George asked Izzy, who merely chuckled nervously. “Okay, let’s get him into the wagon I saw in the backyard,” Hitch said before turning to look at Claudia and Treena, who still looked shocked and completely confused. “And on our way there, we’ll tell you guys the whole story, right from the beginning.”

“So… let me get this straight,” Treena said as the Mane 6 led her, Claudia, George, Harold and Kendra, along with the unconscious Mr. Krupp on George’s wagon, down the sidewalk. “You guys unintentionally hypnotized Mr. Krupp into thinking he’s Captain Underpants, and you can turn him BACK into Mr. Krupp just by splashing water on him?”

“Yeah… I know-- crazy day,” Kendra giggled nervously. “But you guys CAN’T tell anyone else about this. If Mom, Dad or anyone else found out, we could get in SERIOUS trouble.”

“Your secret’s safe with us, for sure, and with Heath too,” Claudia said, “but… Mom and Dad are expecting us home soon to talk about the divorce preparations, and if we don’t get home before dark…”

Kendra growled under her breath. “This divorce is messing everything up for us… and Dad’s new girlfriend is just a big… prima donna!”

“I know this is really hard right now, you guys,” Hitch said, looking back at the sisters sympathetically. “And we’re really sorry it’s turning out this way. But… you know… even though you can’t necessarily stop the divorce, maybe there’s ways of making it work out some other way.”

Claudia raised an eyebrow at this. “Like what exactly?”

“Well… you guys would get to be yourselves more,” Zipp said slowly. “And it wouldn’t feel like you’re walking on eggshells.”

Treena hummed in thought, slowly considering the idea. “True... we have been careful as to what we've been saying lately.”

“So... I guess we could get used to the idea,” Kendra said with a soft sigh. “For Mom and Heath's sake, anyway.”

Sunny chuckled and rubbed Kendra on the head with her front hoof. “That’s all we ask, Kendra. Thanks to all of you for being so open.”

After another block or two of walking, George lifted Mr. Krupp’s drivers license up to a nearby street sign, which read Curmudgeon Blvd. “Okay, this is the street.”

“Come on, come on! Shake your hooves!” Pipp whispered as George, Hutch and Sunny all began to pull and push the wagon again. “We're almost there!”

But as the group headed down the sidewalk, they froze and instantly posed in front of Mr. Krupp in the wagon, in order to ensure that a man reading a newspaper and walking his dog didn’t see the unconscious principal. “Evening!”

“Evening,” the man said, not looking up from his newspaper. However, as the dog passed by, it sniffed Mr. Krupp, growled and grabbed onto the cape with its mouth, causing George to try and pull on it to get it away from the dog. “Drop it! No, get off! Gimme! That's a bad dog!”

“This way! Come on!” Misty urged her friends before they were seen by anyone else. The group hurriedly began to run down the street, cautiously glancing around as they did so. But after a moment, they screeched to a halt upon stopping at the correct address-- 3.14 Curmudgeon Blvd. “Phew...” Sunny sighed in relief. “We made it.”

But the second the ponies saw the exterior of the house, it sent a shiver down their spines, causing them to shudder. Mr. Krupp’s house looked just as barren and creepy as Mr. Krupp himself, and even Zipp, who was usually the most courageous one of the group, had to admit, she didn’t like the creepy vibes this place was giving.

Harold shakingly grabbed the wagon handle as they began to move toward the front door. “I wonder what horrors lie inside.”

“There's probably wild dogs in there,” George shuddered. “No no no, I bet it's way worse,” Treena gulped. “Probably torture implements.”

Hitch let out a shudder of his own. “Rabid rats...”

“Brains in jars,” Pipp said, half scared and half enthusiastic. “Jars of plucked out eyeballs...” Kendra trembled just as Harold thought of something just as horrifying. “Bones of former students!”

It was then that George used a key from Mr. Krupp’s wallet to unlock the door, and Izzy cautiously used her hoof to push the door open. But as the door slowly creaked open, Harold let out a terrified scream...

...only to find that there was nothing spooky or creepy inside the house. In fact, the house itself seemed completely normal.

However, that didn't stop Claudia from glancing at Harold strangely. “Why'd you scream?”

“I just assumed there'd be something scary,” Harold admitted as Sunny and Hitch pushed the wagon further into the house, “but it's actually a really nice place.”

“You know,” said George as he glanced around the small living room, “we probably shouldn't snoop around.”

“Yeah... we probably shouldn't,” Pipp said slowly before a smile suddenly graced her face. “Aw, who am I kidding? I would totally snoop around my principal's house if I was still on school! Wouldn’t you, Zipp?”

Zipp let out a heavy sigh. “Okay, I guess you have a point. Okay, we do one quick sweep of the house and then we get out of here before he regains consciousness.”

That was when the group split up to search the house just for the fun of it. Their search began in the kitchen, but all they seemed to find in the fridge was a singular ketchup bottle and... nothing else.

Izzy opened one of the drawers to find a singular fork... and like before, nothing else, confusing the Mane 6 a bit more than they already were.

That was was Kendra flew up to the cabinet and opened one of them before pulling out a box of cereal, which had a rather depressing name as she read it out loud to her sisters and her friends. “Not So Cheery O's?”

Harold sighed with a small frown on his face. “This guy is bumming me out.”

“Come on, it can't be all bad,” Sunny said as she put the cereal back and closed the cabinet door. “Let’s just... look in some other rooms and see what we can find.”

Harold flicked a light switch that led into the nearby dining room, which had a singular chair at a very small table, and in the bathroom, it didn't fair much better. Everything in the bathroom seemed pretty normal, except for the fact that it had two towels, marked His and Still His.

And after seeing the depressing outlook of the house, George let out a sad sigh. “I gotta say, this has not been the funnest snoop.”

“Yeah, no-- totally,” Harold nodded. “Really sad snoop. Kinda regretting it, actually.”

“It's actually... kinda sad,” Misty said, trailing off as she looked down at the ground. “He lives in this house all alone... and he's probably really lonely. Maybe that's why he acts out so much.”

“Huh... you might be onto something there, Misty,” Zipp said after a moment. “But let's at least get Mr. Krupp into bed before we go divulging into any theories.”

XXXXXXXX

Kendra, her older sisters and the ponies grunted as they lifted Mr. Krupp into bed, and thankfully, he hadn't woke up since he was knocked out-- he was even snoring a little.

But after a moment of watching him, Kendra shuddered with a sad look in her eye. “I sure hope we don't ever end up like him. All alone.”

George let out a soft scoff, putting a hand on Kendra's back. “That’s impossible. That would never happen.”

“Yeah. That'll never happen,” said Harold with a smile before suddenly realizing something, causing him to frown out of worry. “Unless he puts us in separate classes.”

“Ohhhhhh... after all the hypnosis stuff happening, I guess that part kinda slipped from my mind,” Misty admitted. “It'll be really sad if you guys get put into different classes... even though you do pull some over-the-top pranks... it really isn't a fair punishment for any creature.”

George seemed to block all of this out for a moment as he tried to pull some of this newfound information in... when suddenly, his eyes lit up upon getting an idea. “Which will never happen.”

The others seemed to glance at him in confusion. “Huh?”

“George is right... it'll never happen!” Pipp realized. “Cause we can control him now!”

“And,” George added, “if ever gives us any trouble again, all we gotta do is snap our fingers... and 'Tra-la-laa'! All of our problems go away.”

“Guys... as much as I would really like you guys to still be in classes together,” Claudia said gently, “I don’t know if getting Krupp wrapped around your fingers is such a good idea. What if you land yourselves in a situation you can't get out of?”

“...guys, I think Claudia might be onto something,” Sunny tried to reason. “We have to consider all of this really carefully, cause if something starts to go wrong, we could all be in for it.”

“Oh, Sunny, please please please let us try!” Kendra begged, her ears folded back. “This is the one option that's actually felt solid! If I lose you guys and George and Harold during this nasty divorce... it could change my life forever... and not in the best way. Please... we have to try something, and since Mr. Krupp is already hypnotized and we can control him, what have we got to lose?”

The Mane 6 seemed to glance at each other, then at the pleading faces of Kendra and her friends, trying their best not to resist, but... boy was it hard.

Then... the Mane 6 began to realize that there seemed to be no other safe options here.

It was either activate the hypnosis on Mr. Krupp and ensure that their new friends stayed together despite the scary circumstances... or risk them being split apart in more ways than one.

After a few moments, Sunny let out a soft sigh. “Okay… we’ll give this one try. But, if anything goes wrong, we have to pull the plug and find a different solution-- deal?”

“Deal!” Kendra, George and Harold nodded before they did their signature ‘quiet fives’ move with the Mane 6, causing them to giggle. It was then that Treena pulled out her phone and realized what time it was. “Come on, Kendra, we have to get home-- Mom and Dad will probably be wondering where we are in order to discuss that… divorce.”

“You’re right,” sighed Kendra. “Do… you think they’d mind if George and Harold sat with me?”

“I don’t think so,” Claudia said. “And our pony pals can listen from the staircase-- you know, so Dad doesn’t feel like the space is too crowded.”

“Then we better get you guys home,” Zipp said before releasning a challenging smirk. “And let’s make this into a race-- last one there is a rotten pegasus feather!”

XXXXXXXX

Needless to say, Zipp was the first one across the finish line back at Kendra, Claudia and Treena's house, but no one else seemed to mind-- they were just happy to get to have some fun.

But the one thing they weren’t expecting was for Jaliya, Evander’s new girlfriend, to be waiting on them once they got there. “Oh, there you girls are,” Jaliya said with a sweet smile. “Your mother was getting worried.”

Kendra was about to snarl at her, but Pipp rubbed her back in order to calm the cub down. “Jaliya?” Misty looked confused. “What are you doing here?”

“Evander invited me,” Jaliya explained. “He thought that since I was going to be part of this family from now on, I should have a say in things too.”

“...of course…” Claudia had to bite her tongue in order to not snarl at Jaliya herself. “Where do our parents want us?”

“The living room,” Jaliya answered. “They’re waiting for you right now.”

That’s when the group sighed and decided to follow Jaliya inside the house, ready to get this over with as soon as possible.

“So… we talked things over with a lawyer today,” Avarsi began to explain to George, Harold and her children, who looked less than thrilled, “and… we figured out a solution to our little… disagreement?”

“You can say it in front of Heath, Mom. It’s called an affair and a separation,” Kendra said bitterly. “He’s old enough to understand, right, Heath?”

“Um…” Heath seemed to sense the tension in the room. “I-I mean… I guess…?”

“It’s okay, little guy,” Harold said, rubbing the top of Heath’s head. “Take your time.”

Evander stepped up, clearing his throat as he pointed some things out in the legal documents that the lawyer had brought earlier. “According to this legal agreement that your mother and I have to sign, you children will primarily live with your mother while I move in with my… beloved Jaliya.”

“Oh, gross…” George shuddered under his breath, causing Evander to snarl at him before calming himself down and continuing. “We’ll have visitations every other weekend from 5 p.m on Friday to 6 p.m on Saturday, and every Wednesday.”

“Both of us have… agreed to communicate openly about any matters concerning the well-being of you kids,” Avarsi continued. “And,” Jaliya added, sticking her head in, “it’ll be just like nothing ever happened!”

“...do you think this is seriously just a game for us?” Treena aske coldly. “You know nothing about us or our lives, and yet, you’re somehow gonna be a part of them?”

“Treena!” Evander snapped. “You treat Jaliya with respect.”

“Why? Cause you’ve never treated us with any?” Claudia sneered. “Respect goes two ways, Dad, and you’ve yet to earn yours.”

Evander’s eyes lit up in rage. “If you kids don’t shape up right here, right now, you’re not gonna live--”

“Don’t you lay a paw on them!”

Evander froze and everyone turned to see the Mane 6 standing behind George, Harold and the leopard kids, ready for a fight. “We’ve been hearing everything from the staircase,” Zipp said, “but we can’t stand by for another second and watch this go on.”

“Is this seriously how you manipulate your kids?” Sunny asked in disbelief. “Threatening to hurt them if they don’t comply with their demands?”

“What do you know about parenting?” Jaliya’s happy demeanor began to turn sour as her boyfriend was being accused. “If my Evander-Wander things this is the right way to parent his kids, you shouldn’t have a say!”

“And you should?!” Kendra snarled. “I’ve held my tongue for long enough, but I have so--!!”

“...Sunny’s right.”

“HUH?!” everyone turned to see Avarsi slowly coming to a realization. “I… never realized it before, but… Sunny is right,” Avarsi muttered before angrily turning to her soon to be ex-husband. “You’ve been… verbally abusing our daughters! Heath is the only one of our children you’ve actually treated with respect! THIS changes things entirely.”

“U-U-Uh, Avarsi,” Evander began to stammer, “I-I can explain--”

“I’m going to call the lawyer first thing tomorrow morning and tell him there’s been a startling update in this case,” Avarsi said coldly. “Right now… I think you and your mistress should leave.”

“Right what I was about to say, Avarsi,” Hitch said coldly as he pawed the ground with his hoof. “Leave now… or things won’t be pretty.”

Evander let out a roar, hoping to scare some sense into the others, but they never moved… never flinched. This caused him to snarl again and leave the house with Jaliya on his heels.

After they had left, Avarsi sighed and turned to the Mane 6. “Thank you for… opening my eyes, ponies. I should never have believed his methods of parenting all those years ago.”

“It was a mistake,” Misty said gently. “Happens to the best of us.”

“Come on, everyone… we’re going out to dinner,” Avarsi smiled, bringing happiness to her children’s faces. “My treat.”

“Really?” Izzy had to admit, even she seemed surprised. “All of us?”

“Why not? I was getting that bonus this week anyway,” Avarsi said as she rubbed Heath’s head with her paw, “so this is a good way for us to celebrate and take our minds off things.”

“All right! Can we go to the Chinese place we like?” Kendra asked with a hopeful grin. “Anywhere you want, sweetie,” Avarsi said, booping her youngest daughter on the nose. “All right then… let’s hit the air!”

The group cheered before rushing to get ready, with Avarsi hoping that this divorce really would be the thing that could bring her and her kids closer together…

…even though one member of their family was being driven apart.

XXXXXXXX

“I cannot believe your own flesh and blood would talk to us that way!” Jaliya snarled in disgust. “What is that Avarsi and those… those… non-leopards teaching them?!”

“I don’t know what to believe anymore, honestly,” Evander said just as bitterly as he and Jaliya walked down the sidewalk. “I just know we have to find a way to get our revenge.”

“That’s precisely what I want to do.”

Evander and Jaliya froze and gasped in shock as they saw a figure landing in front of them, which caused them to bow. “Alterro! You have returned!” Evander stammered first, looking up at Allura's twin brother with a bit of fear in his gaze. “W-What are you doing in our community?”

“Looking for the perfect minions to help me and my new partner in our latest plan,” Alterro said with a smirk. “And you… look… purr-fect…”

Alterro began to purr, the hypnotic waves flowing from his mouth over to Jaliya and Evander, causing both of their eyes to glow before they spoke in a monotone voice. “We are at your service, your excellency.”

“Excellent!” Alterro smiled. “Now… not only will I help you get revenge on those who have wronged you, but Professor P’s plan will also succeed… and once I’m done with those meddlesome ponies… they’ll wish they had never been born.”

And with an intimidating and rather vicious cackle, Alterro and his two new servants flew off into the evening sky, the plan of revenge being one step closer to initiating.
