Chapter 1: Heroes Will Be There
Ponyville was usually a very peaceful place. There weren't many crimes or disasters in the small town of ponies. That is why the group of six ponies and one dragon felt that they wouldn't need to be superheroes.
Rainbow Dash, Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Applejack were a group of six really close friends. They were also secretly superheroes. A few weeks ago Twilight Sparkle had accidentally brought an evil comic book villainess known as The Mane-iac into the real world of Equestria. After The Mane-iac had kidnapped several of their friends, Twilight Sparkle and the other ponies agreed that they needed to do something about the problem. Twilight Sparkle used her magic to turn herself and her friends into the heroes of that comic book. These heroes were known as The Power Ponies.
The Power Ponies went to The Mane-iac's lair and fought against her. They saved all seven of their friends from the evil pony's grasp. However despite their efforts, The Mane-iac managed to escape and she hasn't been seen since. After giving their dragon friend Spike the costume of The Power Ponies' sidekick Hum Drum, The Power Ponies had decided to keep their costumes in the event that The Mane-iac were to return. This hasn't happened yet but The Power Ponies are still on the lookout for The Mane-iac or any other comic book villains.
While they weren't wearing their costumes every day, The Power Ponies still had them with them at all times. Twilight Sparkle had managed to enchant seven necklaces with her magic. When activated the necklaces would give the group of seven the costumes and powers of their superhero selves. This way they could be ready to fight any villain at any given time. While no comic book villains ever came to Ponyville, the town still had a need for superheroes. There were times when bad things would happen that would require some help. This was something that The Power Ponies were very happy to do.
All seven members of the group used their powers to save their town and their friends from the various threats they had encountered. Rainbow Dash had control over thunder and she was known as Zapp. Rarity was the hero by the name of Radiance and she could create any object she desired. Pinkie Pie could run at extremely fast speeds when she became Fili-second. Fluttershy would become a very dangerous pony when provoked which earned her the name of The Saddle Rager. Applejack had a variety of equipment when she turned into Mistress Mare-velous. The purple alicorn Twilight Sparkle had a wide assortment of powers as The Masked Matterhorn. Finally there was Spike. The young dragon was Hum Drum and he didn't have any superpowers. However he refused to let that get to him. He had read in the most recent comic that Hum Drum would have superpowers in the next issue. Unfortunately due to The Mane-iac's disappearance, the next issue hasn't been released. Spike was certain that he had powers. All he needed to do was figure out what he could do and how to do it.
Whenever Ponyville suffered an extreme disaster, The Power Ponies were always there to save the day. The local townsponies had praised them but The Power Ponies always disappeared before the town could truly honor them. The townsponies could never be certain when The Power Ponies would show up. There was never a clear time when they would arrive. As such the town couldn't fully depend on them to solve every crime and problem that they had. But that was how The Power Ponies wanted it to be. While they loved helping their town they knew that they couldn't have the townsponies be dependent on them. This was why they only used their powers when they absolutely needed to. Each of the seven friends loved being heroes. There was no pay or other sort of reward for their heroism, but they still enjoyed being heroes nonetheless. They couldn't imagine giving up the costumes.
