Hi! This is my first Marvel/MLP story so please bear with me. I'm just doing a ponyfied version of the Avengers. The characters are:
Iron Pony (Rainbow Dash)
Hulk (Fluttershy)
Black Widow (Rarity)
Captain Equestria (Applejack)
Thor (Pinkie Pie)
Hawkeye (Twilight)
Director Fury (Celestia)
Coulson (Luna)
Loki (Discord!)
Maria Hill (Spitfire)
Pepper (Spike)
Cameos by many more ponies. The list will get longer, don't worry.
TWILIGHT IS A UNICORN AND SHALL REMAIN ONE.
And, without further ado, let's get going!
The copter dipped low over the desert, bringing the SHIELD base into view. Director Celestia was relived to see that it was all in one piece. Her younger sister could usually be trusted, but she liked being at the head of her own organization. And speaking of her younger sister… there she was. Celestia climbed out of her chariot, falling into step beside her sister.
"So, how bad is it?"
"That's the problem, big sis. We don't know."
They entered the building, struggling against the flow of evacuating workers. Luna excused herself to help remove the Phase 2 weaponry and was replaced by Spitfire, Celestia's trusted second in command.
"I thought we hadn't given Dr. Sealwing permission to go to the testing stage yet." Celestia noted.
"He wasn't testing it. Wasn't even in the room. Spontaneous event."
"Hmmm. I want every piece of Phase 2 on a truck and gone."
"With all due respect ma'am, is that really a priority right now?"
Celestia frowned down at Spitfire. "Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it will spin on."
Spitfire sighed and muttered, "Yes ma'am" under her breath before trudging away.
Celestia entered the Tesseract room in a hurry. "Talk to me, Doctor." She called to Doctor Sealwing, who looked understandably nervous.
"Well… the Tesseract is not only active, she's… behaving." He mumbled as another scientist prodded at the Tesseract with a metal probe. There was a blue flash, and the probe flew backwards, sparking.
"That supposed to be funny, Doctor?" Celestia asked disapprovingly.
"No, it's not funny at all!"
"Have you tried turning off the power?"
"Well, she's an energy source! We turn off the power, she turns it back on!" Sealwing exploded, sounding a little fed up.
"Okay, okay. Where's Agent Sparkle?" Celestia asked, trying steer the conversation in a different direction.
Doctor Sealwing chuckled. "The hawk? Up in her nest, as usual." He said, gesturing towards the far corner of the room. Celestia beckoned her student down and immediately a shape clad in black tactical gear detached from the shadows and slid down a firepole, jumping off some distance from the ground and trotting over.
Celestia raised an eyebrow. "Agent, I gave you this assignment so you could keep an eye on things."
Twilight shrugged. "Well, I see better from a distance."
"Don't suppose you've seen anything that could set this thing off?"
"Nope. Sealwing's clean. There's been no tampering… at least not at this end."
Celestia frowned. "This end?"
Twilight nodded. "Yeah. The cube, it's a doorway to the other end of space, right? Well, doors open from both sides."
As if to prove her words, a blue beam shot from the Tesseract, gathering at a platform on the other end of the lab. The ball of energy grew until it suddenly shut off, and standing in its place was… something.
The thing had the head of a pony and the wing of a Pegasus, but it also had the beard, fang, horn, and leg of a goat, a bat's wing, a moose antler, an eagle talon, a long, serpentine body, a dragon leg, a lion paw, and very scary-looking spear pointed at them.
After a moment of frozen silence, Celestia took the initiative. "Sir, please put down the spear." She called.
The thing looked down at his spear for a moment, as if just realizing he had it, then shot down a scientist without shedding a tear.
All the other scientists (and guards) immediately opened fire, but the thing slithered through the blasts, striking down one after another. He tried to attack Twilight, but she ducked out of the way and kicked at him.
He only laughed. "You have heart!" he remarked, and pressed the tip of his scepter to her chest. She gasped, and her eyes turned blue. Celestia frowned. No magic should be able to do that.
As the thing hypnotized Sealwing, Celestia pulled on a glove and removed the Tesseract from its housing, slotting it into a briefcase and turning to go.
"Please don't." The thing said from behind her, causing her to turn. "I still need that."
"And who might you be?" Celestia asked, extremely curious despite her trepidation.
He laughed, spreading his mismatched arms wide. "I am Discord, of Asgard. And I am burdened with glorious tidings." He shrugged. "But I don't think you want to hear that, and the people reading this story already know how all my speeches go anyways."
"What?" Celestia said, extremely confused. "Story?"
Discord mumbled something about the fourth wall and then turned to Twilight, who had been poking him. "What?"
"Sir, Director Celestia is stalling. That portal is going to implode and drop a hundred feet of rock on us." There was more then a hint of betrayal in her blue eyes as she turned to Celestia. "She means to bury us."
"Like the pharaoh-ponies of old," Celestia replied smugly. She knew what the consequences for the world would be if Discord escaped with the Tesseract, and she was more than willing to give her own life to stop it.
Discord frowned and nodded to Twilight, who immediately shot a bolt of black energy at Celestia. The director's magic shielded her, but they didn't need to know that. Celestia pretended to collapse, trying with all her might not to cry out when Discord took the suitcase and left.
Spitfire frowned at the odd creature getting in the back of the pickup truck. "What's that?" she asked.
"They didn't tell me." Twilight lied easily, getting into the driver's seat and revving the engine.
Spitfire glared at the vehicle as it backed up. Sadly, that was a valid, non-suspicious answer when it came to SHIELD, but something wasn't right here. Her suspicions were confirmed when her radio crackled.
As Celestia struggled to her feet, she called into her radio, "Spitfire! Sparkle has turned!" She cast worried glance at the roiling mass of blue energy above her head before galloping full speed out of the lab, explaining to Spitfire on the way that the rouge group had the Tesseract.
When a particularly large tremor shook the base, the ponies carrying the cases of cases of Phase 2 dropped their precious cargo. Luna ignored it and shepherded them out of the base anyway, sister's orders or not. Something was going down here that was much bigger then experimental weapons, and she was fully aware that she would be lucky to get out with her life.
Spitfire dove into a jeep, chasing after Discord's vehicle. The tremors were more like earthquakes now, and it was getting really hard to drive. It only got harder when Discord pointed his stick at random cars and blew them up, sending them tumbling end over end towards Spitfire.
Luna managed to get the agents on a truck and told the driver to disregard any and all posted speed limits. The driver was all too happy to agree and the car took off so fast it left an image of itself where it had been.
Celestia managed to make it to her helicopter and climb aboard just before the ground beneath her hooves collapsed. The helicopter took off, providing Celestia with a panoramic view of the devastation.
Then, far beneath the surface, the mass of Tesseract energy suddenly condensed, then exploded outward, completely caving in the base and the radar field, granting everyone who was watching an apocalyptic view.
Luna's truck barely made it, but by flooring the gas pedal the driver managed to get them on solid ground.
Spitfire's jeep was trapped by falling rocks, but she survived too.
And Celestia's helicopter, after a bolt of energy from Discord, crashed. She knew then that there was only one option.
The Avengers initiative.
So tell me what you think! Should I continue? Or not? Seriously, help me out here.
