Chapter 1: Captain Canada: The first recruit

Hey guys/girls/others, I'm back with another story, and today it's the start of the Canterlot Avengers, starting with Captain Canada or Tender Taps (he's called that because the show takes place in Canada). I called this story The adventures of Spider-Kid and friends because it's mostly Spider-Kid stories involving other superheroes. Also, just getting this out of the way, equestrian names (except for Sunset Shimmer) will be shown like this for regular text, and like this for flashbacks and musical numbers. After this chapter I'm going to do my tradition of a sick day chapter just to give a little exposition of what happened before the events of this story (like explaining how Sunset Shimmer and Princess Twilight Sparkle started dating). Also, I'll have characters from South Park featured when I adapt The Incredible Hulk, just getting that out of the way. Anyways, I'm smurfing out the usual disclaimer.

Disclaimer: I do not own the smurfs, they are owned by Peyo. I do not own My Little Pony or its characters, they are owned by Hasbro. Any other characters that aren't mine are owned by their respective owners. I only own Hector and Emily because they're my OCs. I also do not own the song and lyrics featured, some lyrics might be changed. If the song is a parody, I do not own the song it is based on. Anyways, enjoy.

It was a nice sunny day, the sun was shining…

"Holy crap!"

Oh, and Spider-Man was fighting Electro in the middle of Canterlot City. "I know I don't want a sidekick, but a little help would be nice," said Spider-Man, as he followed Electro by web slinging through the town.

"You'll never catch me, Spider-Man!" said Electro… followed by Spider-Man shorting him out with a hose.

"I think I just did. Now, to cure you," said Spider-Man, as he carried Electro back to the Spider Cave (his secret hideout). He then grabbed a device from a duffel bag. "Now, this'll only hurt you for a little bit, but after that you'll be back to your old self."

He then placed the device on Electro's chest, causing him to turn back into Flash Sentry. "Woah! What happened to me?" asked Flash Sentry.

"Long story short, you got turned into one of my favorite Spider-Man villains," said Hector, who was now in normal attire. "I assume you know my secret identity."

"I know you're Spider-Man, but I can't remember anything beyond that," said Flash, as he felt his head start to ache. "Is Twilight okay?"

"Don't worry, she's perfectly fine, but she's been worried sick about you," said Hector, just as Twilight entered the Spider Cave.

"Is Flash okay? Did you cure him?" asked Twilight Sparkle, Hector's cousin. Once she saw Flash, she quickly gave him a big hug. "Oh Flash, I was so worried about you. I missed you so much."

"I missed you too, Twilight," said Flash.

"Wrap it up. I get it, you both like each other. Can you not have your way with my cousin in my headquarters, I like to keep this place clean," said Hector, who was tired from chasing Flash all day. "Man, I really need some help with the whole hero business." He then remembered that his cousin and her boyfriend were still here. "The exit's right behind me."

Once Flash and Twilight left, Hector got to his computer to search for recruits for the Canterlot Avengers program. He searched for an hour, until he found an interesting file (to say the least). "Well, I'll be damned, he's not so clingy after all," said Hector.

The next day, at Tender Taps house…

Tender Taps was about to play his PlayStation 5, when he suddenly felt someone's presence in his room. "Who's there? Show yourself," said Tender Taps.

"Relax man, I just want to talk," said Spider-Man, as he stepped out of Tender's surprisingly shadowy room. "I'm looking for Captain Canada."

"I don't know who that is," said Tender Taps, who started sweating. "And by the way, what are you doing in my room, Spider-Man?"

"I'm looking for recruits for a hero program, and you're first on the list… Captain Canada," said Spider-Man, as he took off his mask, revealing himself to be Hector Parker, causing Tender Taps to gasp. "Another reason I'm here is because you're actually the oldest hero on the list."

Tender Taps couldn't hold in his secret any longer. "Okay, you caught me, I was Captain Canada, but I haven't been Captain Canada in a long time," said Tender Taps.

"And why is that? How about telling me your origin story, I already brought popcorn," said Hector, as he began eating popcorn.

"Okay, it all started back in 1939, when the Canadians started getting recruited for World War Two," began Tender Taps.

83 years ago…

Tender Taps was a young boy, getting in line to be drafted into the war. Once he was in front of the line, the drafter (I don't know what they're called) checked Tender's medical records. Everything seemed good until the drafter found one medical condition, asthma.

"Sorry kid, can't let anyone with medical issues in the army," said the drafter.

"But I rarely get asthma attacks anymore," said Tender Taps. The drafter took a minute to think.

"Well, we do have a special program that just started, and you seem like the perfect candidate for the job," said the drafter, who then approved Tender Taps for the army.

The next day, at military training…

Tender Taps was sent to a military camp to train for the big war… except he wasn't very good at most of the exercises. That was until one of the lieutenants launched a grenade at the troops.

"Stay back!" yelled Tender Taps, as he covered the grenade with his body, only for everyone to realize it was a dud. "No worries, it's a false alarm."

The lieutenant who launched the grenade was… Edward Parker, Hector Parker's great grandfather.

Present day…

"Wait, you knew my great grandfather?" asked Hector.

"Yeah, he's the one who suggested me for the program," said Tender Taps.

"Okay, first off, that's cool, and second, please continue with your story," said Hector, to which Tender did.

Back to the story…

After the grenade incident, Edward Parker showed Tender Taps the location of the program Tender Taps was told about.

"As you know, you've been suggested by the drafter for our new military program," said Edward Parker.

"Yeah, but what's the program for?" asked Tender Taps.

"It's for a special new type of soldier… a super soldier," said Edward Parker. "We didn't want to test it on anyone who's too muscular because it might cause them to explode, so we needed someone wimpy to test it on."

"I'm not that wimpy, but you make a good point," said Tender Taps. "And by super soldier, do you mean like Captain America, that new comic that just released a couple days ago." Edward nodded.

"We asked the Americans to create Captain America as a cover up for the super soldier project, besides we got a cut of the money from the comic sales," said Edward Parker. Once he finished speaking, the two were in a room with a giant pod in the middle. "General Twinkle, show Tender Taps to the pod."

General Twinkle (Twilight Sparkle's great grandmother) led Tender Taps to the super soldier pod. "Okay, remove your shirt and undershirt, and lay down in the pod," said General Twinkle. "By the way, just out of curiosity, are you seeing anyone?"

Tender Taps just blushed. "No, I'm a single Pringle," said Tender Taps, as laid down in the pod. "Maybe after the war is over, you and I could maybe go for a night at the club?"

"I'd like that," said General Twinkle. After she left, Tender Taps was injected with the super soldier serum.

"Okay, Tender, the process of you becoming a super soldier might be a little painful, but it'll be over before you know it," said Edward Parker.

"Okay, I'm ready when you are," said Tender Taps. The pod then closed, as Tender started to grind his teeth in pain. Once the process was done, Tender Taps emerged from the pod looking more muscular than before. "Wow, that did hurt badly."

General Twinkle just started at Tender Taps in amazement, even touching his left peck out of curiosity. "You look… different to say the least," said General Twinkle.

"I feel different too," said Tender Taps. "How are we gonna know that people will support this program?"

"That's what the uso show is for," said Edward Parker.

The next day…

Tender Taps was dressed in a spandex suit, which was a prototype of the Captain Canada suit, as he prepared to perform stunts at a uso show. "This isn't what I had in mind, but I'm not letting my gymnastics training go to waste," said Tender Taps, as the show began.

Once the show was over, Tender Taps changed into a finished version of the Captain Canada suit. He then entered the planning room for the attack in Germany.

"Okay, we need to surprise the Germans on the battlefield, so let's strategize," said General Twinkle, as she placed figures on a map of the location for the battle. "Battalions 14 and 15 will attack from the left and right, respectively, while Battalion 16 leads Captain Canada into the nazi headquarters. Once there, Captain Canada will take on the nazi soldiers inside before eventually getting to Adolf Hitler himself."

"That plan seems flawless, but the front of their headquarters will be heavily guarded by nazi soldiers," said Captain Canada.

"Which is why we got help from friends on cybertron," said Edward Parker, who showed up with three giant robots. The robots were Bumblebee, Hot Rod, and… Optimus Prime.

"Sorry we're late, hit a little traffic on the way to earth," said Bumblebee.

"We'll help you sneak into the nazi headquarters, Captain Canada," said Optimus Prime. "We have used our transformation abilities to blend into your world for several years, and now those abilities will aid you in battle."

"Okay, but you'll need to transform into vehicles from Germany in order to blend into the country," said General Twinkle.

"Understood, but I will not like it," said Hot Rod, in a French accent.

"I call dibs on a Volkswagen Beetle," said Bumblebee.

"Okay, this is all very entertaining, but the time for battle is about to begin," said Edward Parker. After the meeting was over, the soldiers, Captain Canada, and the autobots got on an army plane and flew to Germany.

Once they were in Germany, the autobots took the form of German vehicles.

"Alright, cap, get in the back, I'll sneak you in through the front," said Bumblebee, who was talking through his radio. Captain Canada then hid himself in the back seat, while a soldier (wearing a disguise) drove Bumblebee to the nazi headquarters. "Here we go."

Once Bumblebee drove into the nazi headquarters, a nazi soldier walked up to the soldier driving Bumblebee. "State your business," said the nazi soldier.

"We're here for the war," said the disguised soldier, as Captain Canada launched a flare into the sky, which was the war signal. "NOW!" Bumblebee then transformed from a Volkswagen Beetle into his autobot form, as he and the other autobots began to attack the nazis.

"Captain, get in the building," said Optimus Prime.

"You don't have to tell me twice," said Captain Canada, as he rushed into the nazi headquarters. Once he got to the nazi command center, he was greeted by none other than Adolf Hitler himself.

"Pleased to meet you, Captain Canada," said Adolf Hitler.

"How do you know me, did you have a spy?" asked Captain Canada.

"No, I based it on looks," said Adolf Hitler. "Welcome to Germany."

"Cut the crap, mini mustache. Why are you causing this war to begin with?" asked Captain Canada.

"It's all for this," said Adolf Hitler, as he held up what would be known as Hector's geode. "This little trinket can cause the whole world to explode in just one snap. If I can harness its energy, I can rid the world of Jews and rule with an iron fist."

"Not today, sucker!" yelled Captain Canada, as he punched Hitler in the face. As Hitler got back up, Captain Canada noticed the nazi leader's face looked like it was starting to peel off. "What the hell?" Captain Canada then pulled Hitler's mask off, revealing himself to be… the Red Skull. "What happened to you?"

"Isn't it obvious? The skin on my face was burned off, now I am… Red Skull," said Red Skull. "There's nothing you can do to stop me, I'm still going to take over the world." Before Captain Canada knew it, Red Skull fled the scene as the nazi headquarters burned down to ashes, as Captain Canada escaped the rubble of the building.

Once Captain Canada, the autobots, and the soldiers returned to Canada, they took time to rest and prepare for the next battle. Captain Canada was looking for a new shield, since his shield from the uso show was damaged during the battle.

"Don't worry about your shield, I've made others especially for you," said Edward Parker. Captain Canada looked at every shield, until he found a circular shield.

"What's this one made of?" asked Captain Canada.

"That one's made of vibranium and energon, the latter of which was a gift from the autobots," said Edward Parker. Captain Canada tried the shield on for size, and immediately liked it. "A perfect fit. I have it painted immediately."

Two weeks later…

Captain Canada was near the new nazi headquarters, as he waited for Optimus Prime's signal. Suddenly, he heard a gunshot, which was the signal, causing Captain Canada to rush into the new nazi headquarters. Once he was inside, he realized he was inside a spaceship. "This must be where that geode came from," said Captain Canada.

"Indeed it is," said Red Skull, as he stepped out of the driver's seat. "If you must know, I'm using this ship to finish my plan of world domination. Once that's finished, everyone will bow down to me, Red Skull!"

"Not if I have anything to say about it!" said Captain Canada. He and Red Skull began to duke it out, but their fight accidentally caused the ship to take off. "Uh oh." General Twinkle began to speak to Captain Canada through the ship's intercom, after Captain Canada tinkered with it while Red Skull was pinned to the ground.

"Tender, can you hear me, babe?" asked General Twinkle. "Are you okay?"

"I'm okay, but the ship's about to crash god knows where," said Captain Canada, as he removed his mask to catch his breath.

"You'll never stop the ship from killing us," said Red Skull.

"No, I've got a better way to defeat you," said Captain Canada, as he grabbed the geode and placed it on a laser gun from the ship. "Have fun on another planet, dead skull." He then blasted Red Skull with the laser gun, causing Red Skull to be transported somewhere across the universe. Captain Canada then opened the exit to release the geode into an (at the time) unknown location.

"Tender, are you still there?" said General Twinkle. "Where are you landing?"

Captain Canada checked the ship's trajectory, and realized he was going to land in… Antarctica, specifically in the ocean. "Twinkle, if I don't make it out alive, I just want you to know that I will always love you, and tell the kids that daddy won't be home for a while," said Captain Canada, causing General Twinkle to tear up. It was true, General Twinkle was pregnant with Captain Canada's children, but it didn't seem like he would live to see them.

"I love you too, you'll always be my maple leaf man," said General Twinkle. As soon as she said those words, Captain Canada began to tear up, as he landed in the Arctic Ocean, where he was frozen for many years.

82 years later…

Tender Taps woke up in a hospital bed, feeling colder than usual. "Are you feeling alright, kid?" said Pierre Parker, Hector's grandpa, who had an eyepatch. "Welcome to the twenty-first century."

Tender Taps looked out the window, and saw that he was in modern day New York City. "I guess this means I'm late for my date with General Twinkle," said Tender Taps.

Present day…

"And that's my origin story," said Tender Taps, as he finished telling his story. "I never got to see the kids."

"Well, you already met your son, or as I know him, my grandpa," said Hector. "Didn't Edward Parker ever tell you that General Twinkle was his sister?"

"No, he did not. And your grandpa didn't tell me that he was my son," said Tender Taps. "I guess that means I'm your other great grandfather."

"You're damn right it does," said Hector. "By the way, how come I wasn't told that Transformers was based on true events?"

"Because the government promised to keep their existence a secret. And when giant robots became all the rage in Japan, we made a deal with Hasbro to create the Transformers toy line to cover up their existence," said Tender Taps. "Man, that sounds weird saying it out loud."

"It sounds weird either way," said Pierre Parker, as he entered Tender Taps room through the door. "Hector, why don't you tell him about the new program."

"Sure thing, old timer," said Hector. "We're putting together a team of superheroes, and you're the first recruit. So, what do you say, Captain Canada?"

Tender Taps then took out his old shield from under his bed. "I'm in," said Tender Taps. "What's our first assignment?"

"When Christmas break is over, we're taking a little field trip to South Park, Colorado," said Hector.

Soooo, what do you guys/girls/others think so far? I've decided to make this a crossover between miscellaneous cartoons because it features multiple characters from different cartoons, like South Park and (as you can tell from this chapter) Transformers (which is also owned by Hasbro). Sorry this took a while, I've been busy with school and trying to get an acting gig (don't judge me). Anyways, the next chapter will be my tradition of including a sick day chapter, just to add a little more backstory for the characters. But until then, I'll see you all in the next chapter.
