G5 Adventures in Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie

If you thought things in the most recent chapters of our story couldn't get any more tense... it got MUCH more tense.

Not only did our heroes figure out how to control the hypnosis on Mr. Krupp, Avarsi finally seemed to realize that Heath was the only one of her cubs that Evander actually cared about, and that he was actually verbally abusing their daughters, along with having an affair with his coworker, Jaliya.

And little did our heroes know it, but Alterro had been watching the bitterness in these leopards' hearts steadily rise, so he decided to recruit them for the master plan that he and his new partner, a strange man known only to him as Professor P, had in mind for not just Professor P's involvement, but for Alterro's revenge against the Mane 6.

How will these new developments shape our story in the near future?

Well... it seems that you'll just have to read on to find out.

The next morning seemed to be a standard morning for the kids at Jerome Horwitz Elementary-- full of misery, boredom and sadness...

...that is, until the Mane 6, George, Harold and Kendra walked into the school with Pipp blaring upbeat music from her phone and all nine of them wearing similar Hawaiian themed shirts.

• George’s shirt had a red coloration.
• Harold's shirt had a dark blue coloration.
• Kendra's shirt had a yellow coloration.
• Sunny’s shirt had an orange coloration.
• Hitch's shirt had a dark green coloration.
• Izzy's shirt had a dark blue/purple coloration.
• Pipp's shirt had a pink and white coloration.
• Zipp's shirt had a light blue coloration.
• Misty's shirt had a dark purple and white coloration.

The other kids stopped and stared upon seeing this, their eyes wide as the upbeat music rang out through the halls. “Hey, Tommy,” George said with a smile. “What's going on?”

“Hey, guys,” Tommy was about to go into his locker when he suddenly saw what they were wearing. “Whoa! Cool shirts!”

“Thanks! Pipp made them!” Kendra said with a proud grin. “And I gotta say, we all look amazing!”

The Mane 6 laughed as they continued to walk/dance down the hallway... at least, for a moment, until Mr. Krupp appeared in their path, looking completely irritated, which caused Pipp to quickly shut the music off. “What are you doing together?” the principal angrily demanded as Tommy quickly got into his locker. “I separated you!”

Zipp spared a smirk at Hitch-- this experience was starting to get more and more rewarding with each passing second. “Oh, really? I don't remember you doing that.”

“What are you talking about? I signed the paperwork,” Mr. Krupp pulled out the paperwork from the day before. “See?”

George looked at the paper with a slight smirk of his own. “I don't see a signature. Harold, do you see a signature?”

“Not a thing,” Harold answered. “And I... literally can't see anything,” Kendra said after putting on a pair of sunglasses. “These sunglasses are too dark.”

“What? I could have sworn I signed that thing. No matter,” Mr. Krupp said before bringing out a pen and signing a series of papers. “There! Officially separated. Forever! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!”

But at that moment, during Mr. Krupp’s laughing fit, Izzy grabbed the papers from him, causing him to stop laughing. “Hey!”

“Sorry, Mr. Krupp, we just remembered we have to do something important,” Sunny said with a slight smile. “Now, guys!”

And once Sunny gave them the signal, Harold snapped his fingers, reinstating the hypnosis and Mr. Krupp turned back into Captain Underpants, who removed all of his clothing and hair except for his... well, underpants. “Tra-la-laaaa!!!”

“See?” Kendra looked to the Mane 6 with a smile as she used her claws to shred the classroom change paper. “Problem solved!”

“Okay, that does help us in some form,” Hitch said slowly, “but… we aren’t the only people around, remember? The other kids could--”

Suddenly, the school bell began to ring, causing the group to freeze as kids began to come out of their classrooms and walk from place to place, causing Captain Underpants to try and greet them. “Greetings, citizens! Wah!”

“Quick!” Sunny pushed the group into the nearby music room. “In here!”

Once they were all safely inside the music room, the group panted out of fright for a few moments before Pipp looked down at her shirt. “Okay, you know what? These shirts were way premature.”

“I think you’re right,” George nodded in agreement as they watched Captain Underpants excitedly go around the music room. “Come on. Let's turn him back into Krupp.”

“We can’t!” Kendra argued. “He’ll separate us, remember?!”

“Well, we have to think of something!” Misty spoke in a serious tone. “We can't have him wandering around looking like that!”

At that moment, Captain Underpants found a triangle in the music room and gasped, completely wide eyed. “A triangle…” he murmured before dinging it with the stick, causing him to gasp again. “It dings!”

“Ugh…” Zipp groaned out of discomfort as the dimwitted superhero began to play the triangle rather randomly. “This guy seriously needs some music lessons…”

That was when George and Harold both spotted Mr. Krupp’s clothes on the ground and seemed to get an idea.

A few minutes after the Mane 6 had gotten Captain Underpants into Mr. Krupp’s clothes, they came out of the music room, trying to act as if everything was normal. “Ah! Principal Krupp, you caught us again,” Harold said out loud. “You better take us to your office for a good old talking-to. Right? Principal Krupp?”

“Principal who?” Captain Underpants questioned in confusion, causing Izzy to chuckle and push him out of the music room. “Principal Krupp, get out here, you old so-and-so!”

But as soon as Izzy had pushed him out into the open, it was clear the wastebanded warrior was feeling rather uncomfortable in the clothing our heroes had placed him in. “Sidekicks... are you sure my secret identity requires these... restricting, uncomfortable clothes?”

“Yes,” George answered without question. “Positive.”

“100% positive,” Hitch enunciated firmly as they began walking through the school toward the principal’s office. “Now act like a principal.”

“Oh, right,” Captain Underpants nodded before another question came to mind. “How does a principal act?”

“Mean!” Kendra, George and Harold whispered back. “Okey-doke,” Captain Underpants nodded before a few seconds later, he roared at a group of three girls, causing them to scream and flee as they came up the stairs. “I'm a principal!”

“Okay, good good good!” Pipp said with enthusiasm in her voice as more and more kids got scared, screamed and ran off. “You’re doing great!”

“Okay, we’re almost there,” Sunny added as they nearly got to the principal’s office. “You just keep it up for a little bit longer.”

However, as Izzy opened the door again, the group screamed to find Edith the lunch lady standing behind the door expectantly. “Oh, hello. Surprise. It's Edith,” she greeted, obviously very nervous. “Did you like my tuna casserole?”

“I cannot tell a lie… I don't recall having your tuna casserole,” Captain Underpants said, causing Edith’s expression to fall before he tried to fix his wording. “ But if your casserole is as striking as your one blue eye…”

Edith let out a blush as she fidgeted with her hair, pulling it back to reveal another blue eye. “Oh, I didn't think you noticed.”

“Oh my…” Captain Underpants said in awe, completely enamoured. “Two blue eyes.”

“Uh, Principal Krupp?” Kendra looked uninterested. “It's time to go. Gotta wrap it up.”

“Very well then. Up, up, and…” Captain Underpants began to head the wrong way until Sunny and Hitch were able to direct him toward the office again, all while Edith looked on. “Ooh! Flirt alert.”

But as they headed into the office, George stopped the group to discover that Ms. Anthrope was still on hold from the prank they did the night before. “Wow, she's still on hold!”

“Come on, come on, come on!” Zipp ushered the group inside the office before they ran inside, shutting the door behind them. “Phew…” Sunny sighed. “We made it!”

“What a relief…” Zipp sighed. “And the best part is, I don’t think anyone else saw that Principal Krupp wasn’t acting like himself.”

“Well, hello, citizen!” the group heard Captain Underpants greet, and the group turned to see someone else standing in Mr. Krupp’s office, turned away from the window to reveal himself as a short man with a large grey puff of hair, a mustache, semicircular glasses, a purple shirt with a blue bow, blue trousers, and black shoes. “Oh, and hello to you, too. I was just, like, admiring the view... from your broken window. It's in the shape of a man,” the man said, gesturing to the Captain Underpants shaped hole in the window. “Anyway, I am here to interview for the science teacher position.”

Misty glanced at her friends, old and new, and immediately could sense that something seemed incredibly off.

There was something about this guy that radiated trouble, but… no one was sure what it was.

However, Captain Underpants didn’t seem to think there was anything suspicious about it. “I'm disguised as an elementary school principal,” he said, shaking the man's hand before turning and whispering to the others. “Guys, I totally got this. Don't worry one bit.”

“Oh, we’re gonna worry,” whispered Pipp in response. “We’re gonna worry like we’ve never worried before.”

“Now…” the man seemed to murmur as he reached through his briefcase. “Where did I put that resume?”

First, he pulled out an axe. “No, not that.”

Then, he pulled out a stick of dynamite and threw it. “Oh, this thing.”

After he threw the dynamite away and it exploded a little, he pulled out some nunchucks. “This one's fun.”

Hitch yelped and grabbed the nunchucks with his mouth, causing the ponies to sigh in relief and stand closer to their young friends. But that didn’t stop this stranger from pulling more and more stuff out of his bag, including some sort of potion, a living bear trap, and then a chainsaw before he finally found his resume. “Ah-ha! Here we go.”

Captain Underpants then proceeded to study the resume for a few moments before speaking again. “Hmm. Says here you're a science teacher?”

The stranger merely smiled. “No, not exactly.”

Zipp raised a suspicious eyebrow at this. “But you do have teaching experience?”

“Oh, no. Can’t say I do.”

“Not even like… babysitting?” Captain Underpants asked quizzically, just as the strange man sat on the principal’s desk. “I would never sit on a baby.”

“Camp counselor?” Hitch tilted his head. “Never was a camp counselor,” the man answered the earth pony stallion. “Although I did receive counseling... for some trauma I experienced as a child.”

The Mane 6 seemed to get even tenser when he said this, but being the dimwitted character he was, Captain Underpants merely smiled. “I'm getting a really good vibe about you.”

“Now, hold on a sec, Principal Krupp,” Misty said before using her magic to take the resume from him. “Let us see that for a sec.”

After Misty had handed the resume to George, he glanced at it in worry. “It says here that you were a genius inventor?”

“Mad genius inventor,” the man said, slamming his hand down on the table. “But yes.”

“And then for the last few years... you've been in a very dark place,” Harold read off of the resume, “and your title was… revenge seeker?”

“Revenge at all costs…” Kendra muttered as she looked at the resume herself. “Die, die? Am I reading this right?”

“Yeah, that's basically what I've been up to... so here I am!” the man answered, leaning against the desk. “Applying for a job in the thriving public school system... with all of its amazing resources. But honestly, kids are so understanding. So innocent. Their smiles brighten my heart and fill me with... a joy-adjacent feeling.”

But then, the man began to get angrier and angrier, gradually of course, causing the group of heroes to tense slightly, with the room getting a bit chillier due to Kendra’s nervousness. “As long as they are controlled... and do not laugh nor smile nor play nor laugh. Children must never laugh!”

“...say what now?” Pipp looked at him with wide eyes of fear. “Well, you seem terrific!” Captain Underpants interrupted, stamping the resume. “You’re hired!”

“WHAT?!” the others screeched, unable to believe the fact that Captain Underpants could see this guy as a good fit after what he just said. “Excellent. Oh, by the way, going to need Fridays off,” the man spoke with an evil smile. “And every other Tuesday through Thursday... for my evil experiments. Okay, bye-bye!”

And with that, the strange yet evil man used the axe he had thrown away to open the office door before leaving. “Oh, no, this is bad!” Sunny said, beginning to panic more and more with each passing second. “Captain Underpants just hired a maniac for your science teacher!”

“This is a disaster!” Zipp agreed. “Who knows what evil this guy is capable of?!”

“Uh, yeah. We gotta fix this before Krupp finds out,” Harold added desperately. “Sounds like a job for Captain Underpants!” Captain Underpants said, but Kendra was first to step up and stop him from leaving. “No, no, no. You need to stay here. You’re the principal, remember?”

“Yeah,” Harold nodded as the group began to leave. “Just sit there and look angry for no reason.”

“You got it,” Captain Underpants smiled before pretending to look angry as the group left. However, after the Mane 6 led their friends away, Captain Underpants found Harold’s water gun and put it up to his eye. “That will be interesting to put my eye up to.”

But unfortunately, Captain Underpants accidentally squirted the water gun, turning himself back into Mr. Krupp. “What? How did I get here? Why is my face wet?”

That was when Mr. Krupp noticed that he had a man-shaped hole in his window and couldn’t help but be suspicious.

Whatever just happened… he was going to get to the bottom of it, one way or another.
