Power Ponies

Twilight Sparkle was sleeping peacefully until she felt some light in the room. She woke up and saw Spike was using a flashlight to help him read his comic book.

"Spike, it's late. We really need to get some sleep."

"But my dragon friends are coming to see me and they're bringing five new Dragons with them. Plus this comic is good."

"What comic?"

Spike got it out and showed her, "The Power Ponies. Superhero crime fighters who protect the city of Maretropolis!"

"Who're the Power Ponies?"

"Only the best crime fighting superhero team there is. In this issue they're battling their arch nemesis the Mane-iac. A power-mad owner of a hair-care product company until she accidentally fell into a vat of green liquid and electrocuted by a downed power line. The accident gave her strange new powers with her mane. Right now they're off to stop the Mane-iac from stealing the electro orb from the Maretropolis Museum, but Humdrum had to go and mess up.

"Whose Humdrum?"

"The Power Ponies useless sidekick. They have to stop the Mane-iac or all of Maretropolis is doomed!"

Twilight rolled her eyes, "Go to bed, Spike. We've got a lot of work to do getting the portal between Sodor, Equestria and Japan up and running. Once it's done we'll be closer to defeating the forces of darkness."

"All right. All right." He turned out the light and went to bed.

Next morning, Spike and the Mane Six were at the building site of the portal that led to Japan. To their surprise Steve was towing Akiza to Japan.

"What happened to Akiza?" Rarity asked.

"Akiza's boiler ticket expired so I'm taking her home." Steve explained.

"I'll be better once it's new and improved."

"You look fine to me. What's so important about a boiler ticket?" Rainbow asked.

Steve explained, "A boiler ticket is a certificate to prove that a Steam Engine's boiler has been inspected and approved by the inspector. It expires every ten years and when it does that's when an engine is pulled out of service until a new boiler is built and ready."

"Dash: I see."

Akiza spoke, "Anyway once we go to Japan Hiro's on his own but now that Kaoru's settled in well Steve and I don't have to stick around full time. Plus work is starting to increase in Japan."

"Well, we got work as well." Twilight said. The Ponies and engines agreed as Steve took Akiza home while the ponies went to work.

Spike tried to offer his help but the ponies seemed to have it covered so he sat to the side and read his comic book, "I used to be somebody in this group. Loyal devoted number one assistant. Now I'm just in the way." he sighed.

"No you're not."

Spike looked over. He saw his pals from the Dragon Migration but they had somebody else with them. It was a blonde girl wearing medieval clothes. This was Sally Sinister but neither Spike nor the Mane Six knew this yet.

"Hey, guys."

"Hey, Spike. Long time no see." Whirlwind greeted.

"How have you been?" Bask asked.

"I'm ok, but I'd feel better if I was actually doing something. I mean I feel like I came here all for nothing."

Sally spoke, "Well, I can tell you one thing. Just cause you're a baby dragon doesn't mean you have to be the one who's less heard."

"Who're you?"

"Sally."

"Well, I'm Spike."

"Nice to meet you. So what are you gonna do now?"

"Only thing I can do right now is read my comic."

"That's kinda what I do when I used to visit my uncle. I often read books." Sally admitted.

"Yeah, well this new issue of Power Ponies is good."

Sally and the Dragons gathered round to read it. As they read Spike sighed.

"And once again, Humdrum messes up." Spike sighed.

"Surely he can prove himself." Sunburn said with hope.

"He's only there for comic relief." Spike explained.

Spyro spoke, "The Power Ponies are very different from the Skylanders. If he were among us then he would have time to train and grow."

"Well, unfortunately he can't. besides it's just a comic."

"Hey, what's this?" Sally asked.

Spike and the others looked seeing something at the bottom of the last page that was blank.

"Looks like a spell or something." Camo inspected.

"I'm sure there was a magnifying glass around here," Spike began looking around the room. Sally and the Skylanders also looked around the area. Spike finally found it, "Here it is!"

"What does it say?" Zap asked.

Spike read it, "You can return to the place you started when the Mane-iac is... defeated. Huh? Take a closer look to join the adventure in this book? What does that even mean?"

"Perhaps we should ask Twilight Sparkle." Drobot suggested.

Suddenly the comic book started glowing. The Mane six then rushed in and saw the glowing comic.

"What's going on?" Twilight gasped.

Suddenly the comic started sucking everybody in. Sally attempted to use her magic to keep everyone from getting pulled in. But it was no use as Sally lost hold and was also pulled into the comic.

Once everyone opened their eyes Sally and the Skylanders saw that they had remained themselves but Spike and the Ponies had changed.

"Well, this is unexpected." Sally said.

"Is everyone alright?" Cynder asked.

"I'm okay," Spike looked at himself seeing he was dressed as a super hero, "Whoa, check me out," He saw they were on top of a building and gasped, "No way! This is Maretropolis!"

"Mare what?" Whirlwind asked.

"Maretropolis, it's the setting in my comic book," Spike and the others then turned and saw Twilight and the others dressed in costumes, "Holy new persona Ponies!"

"What?" Twilight asked.

"Twilight. Girls, you're the Power Ponies."

"Power what?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"The heroes from my comic book."

"I still don't get it." Applejack replied.

"Basically we're in Spike's comic book." Sunburn explained.

"How did this happen?" Twilight asked.

"Spike read something on the last page which was blank." Sally explained.

"And it looks like it trapped us in the comic." Spike noted.

"So how do we get out of here?" Fluttershy asked.

"We have to defeat the Mane-iac." Spyro explained.

"The Who?" Rainbow asked.

Drobot explained, "The Arch Enemy of the Power Ponies."

"And just where is this Mane-iac?" Rarity inquired.

They suddenly head a maniacal laugh, "Down there." Spike answered.

The group looked down to see the villain in question. The Mane-iac wore a purple jumpsuit with a dark blue coat, and her main was green and acted like octopus tentacles.

"She doesn't look so tough." Rainbow said.

"Don't underestimate her." Spike warned her.

"So how are we supposed to take her on if we're the power ponies?" Rarity asked.

"You each have your own special powers." Spike answered.

"So what's my power?" Twilight asked.

Spike started explaining, "Twilight, you're Masked Matter-Horn. You can shoot beams form your horn ranging from energy to even freeze beams. Pinkie Pie, you're Fili-Second, the fastest pony in all of Maretropolis and can run a distance of miles in mere seconds. Rainbow Dash is Zapp, she can control the forces of nature through her necklace. Rarity, you're Radiance, you can make anything through energy. Applejack's Mistress Mare-velous. She can psychically control her lasso and use hoofarangs to subdue her enemies. And Fluttershy is Saddle Rager, and can turn into a hulking monster with tremendous strength when she loses her temper."

"Except Fluttershy doesn't lose her temper that often." Sally noted.

Fluttershy nodded, "I don't really like getting angry."

"Either way, let's just defeat the Mane-iac and get home." Rainbow said.

The girls jumped in before Spike called, "Wait, you don't know how to use them!"

"We better go give them a hand." Spyro suggested.

Spike and the others headed down towards the scene of the crime. They saw that the Mane Six were having trouble with their powers.

Spike watched with a face palm, "This is just pathetic."

"That's something I'd expect to hear from my cousins." Sally said.

"Let's just focus on the task at hand." Cynder suggested. Sally and the Dragons nodded as they went to help the Power Ponies.

Down below Mane-iac and her minions were making off with the electro orb, "This time, you Power Ponies won't stand in my way!" Mane-iac declared.

"That's what you think." Rainbow Dash attempted to tap into the powers of Zapp and stop the Mane-iac and her minions. She launched a blast of thunder but it was too powerful and ended up knocking her back.

Fortunately Rarity tapped into the power of Radiance to Catch Rainbow Dash.

"Thanks, Rare. I thought Spike said I could use the power."

Spike arrived, "Just because you have the power doesn't mean you know how to actually control it."

Camo nodded, "Spike's right. Some of us Skylanders, have alternate modes we can tap into but it took years of training to get to where we are now."

"Well, I don't think now's the right time to actually practice." Applejack reminded them of the situation.

"Let's just use the Indy Ploy." Pinkie suggested.

Twilight answered, "Given the circumstances we'll need to make do as we fight.

So the heroes did what Twilight suggested as they went on the offensive.

Fluttershy however was cowering behind a mailbox, "What is wrong with you? Pardon me for saying this but you look like you're about to soil yourself." Sally noted.

"I just don't like fighting. That's why I'm staying where it's safe." she cowered.

"There are times when all of us need to fight to protect those that we care about."

"Yeah, you just need to get angry." Spike beckoned her.

"But I don't feel angry."

Meanwhile the battle for the other Power Ponies wasn't going so well. Each of them were being done in by themselves while trying to control their powers. Spike saw the Electro orb was unguarded.

"Now's my chance," Spike went for the Electro Orb with Sally by his side, "I got it."

Spike was about to hurry off, only to trip on a curb making the orb roll right into Mane-iac, "Why thank you, Humdrum."

"You're not welcome." Sally used her magic to try and take the orb back.

"And what's this, a new recruit? I must say you certainly know how to pick friends."

"Yes I'm friends with Humdrum." Sally answered.

"Friends? Please. The only thing Humdrum is useful at is messing up. The Power Ponies only keep him around because they feel sorry for him."

"And what do you know about Friendship?" Sally challenged her.

"What's there you know?"

"You are really sounding like my cousins. Now hand over the orb or Humdrum and I will take it from you by force!"

"Don't make me laugh. Oh, wait I will anyway." She laughed in mockery.

Sally then jumped into the air and attempted to perform a flying kick. Unfortunately she forgot to consider the science and missed by a hair.

"You're just as useless as Humdrum." Mane-iac said. She grabbed the orb and took her leave followed by her henchponies.

The Skylanders tried to stop them but the Mane-iac and her henchponies overpowered them.

"Ok, that didn't go as planned." Twilight groaned.

"That's because you don't have training with your powers yet." Whirlwind said.

"Exactly." Spike agreed.

"Okay, so we'll train for a bit." Rainbow said.

"I don't' even know if we have the time."Spike said.

"Then in that case Sally and us Dragons can by some time." Cynder offered.

"Whatever it takes." Twilgiht said.

"Spike. You know how the Power Ponies use their powers?" Sally asked.

"Of course."

"Then you need to walk them through it." Cynder instructed.

"I'll do my best." So they left while Spike was tasked to properly walk the girls through their super powers.

Spike spoke in a Drill Sergeant tone, "Alright, ladies, listen up. We've got a lot of work to do in training you in mastering your superpowers. Are you ready?"

"Yes, sir!"

"Good. Now let's get started!" So Spike began instructing the girls in how to master their powers.

Meanwhile inside the building, Sally and the Dragon Skylanders were watching what was going on.

"You know this brings back memories," Sally began, "The nine of us fighting alongside each other. The only thing missing is my old pal Jennifer O'Donnell."

"You know this whole battle depends solely on them. If they can't defeat the Mane-iac then we'll never escape the comic." Cynder reminded her.

"But if Fluttershy can't tap into Saddle Ranger's power then we're up a creek without a paddle." Camo sighed.

Sally replied, "I have a feeling anything can happen with the right push."

The Dragon Skylanders agreed as they prepared to hold off the Maneiac and her henchponies long enough for the Power Ponies to finish the job.

Mane-iac was placing the orb inside her machine, "Yes. All is ready.

"Not on our watch!" Sally called. Sally and the Skylanders emerged and prepared for battle.

"Get them!" Mane-iac ordered. Her hench ponies attacked.

Sally and the Dragon Skylanders counter attacked and so far they were winning. . Mane-iac joined the fight and used her mane tendrils to ensnare them.

"Let us go. I'm warning you. I've got lightning and I'm not afraid to use it." Zap warned her.

"Empty threats." Zap used his breath on the Mane-iac. Mane-iac recoiled but tightened her grip on them.

Right on cue the Power Ponies burst in and began to attack, "Power Ponies, go!" Twilight ordered.

This time the Power Ponies did better and they had the upper hoof. Spike looked up seeing the Electro orb powering the machine, "This time I won't mess up," He thought back to the pep talk that the Ponies had given him during the training, "Just because I'm Humdrum here, doesn't mean I am exactly like him."

To drive that point home he successfully managed to get to the Electro orb that was powering the machine.

"I got it."

Sally had seen everything and decided to taunt the Mane-iac, "Would Humdrum be able to have done that?"

Mane-iac growled and attempted to grab Spike with one of her mane tendrils. Spike dodged the tendrils but as he did a firefly appeared. The Maneiac growled and smacked it into a wall.

Fluttershy seeing this gasped, "Are you okay?" she asked the bug.

She turned to Mane-iac in anger, "Are you kidding me? I mean, I know you're evil and everything, but... you hurt a teensy, little, harmless firefly?! Really?!"

Suddenly Fluttershy started getting bigger and bigger with her mane turning yellower and her voice growing deeper.

"Well, you're just a great, big, meanie! There! I said it! What makes you think you're so special?! Like the rules of common courtesy don't apply to you?! Why don't you pick on somepony your own size?!" She roared and began thrashing around the lair.

The Mane-iac attempted to lash out at Fluttershy. But the raging pony knocked the beam from her machine and it hit her making her mane ensnare herself.

"Well done, Saddle Ranger. I knew you had it in you." Sally smiled. Fluttershy still in monster mode giggled sheepishly.

"And once again Maretropolis was saved. Thanks to the Power Ponies and Humdrum!" Spike announced. Everyone clapped and cheered at that.

Suddenly they started glowing and were back in the real world.

"Well, that was a fun adventure. I can't wait to tell the rest of our Skylander friends." Sally said.

"Skylander friends?" Twilight asked.

"Uh-huh." Cynder nodded.

"Pardon my language but what the buck are Skylanders?" Applejack asked.

Sally explained, "The Skylanders are the greatest champions that Skylands has ever known. They serve as its protectors. Their previous leader was a Portal Master named Eon but now the task of leading and protecting the Skylanders has been given to me."

"Well, we appreciate your help." Twilight said.

"Thank you very much." Sally replied.

"And thank you, Spike. None of this would've been possible without you to guide us." Twilight thanked him, as the ponies agreed.

"When it comes to those I care about, I always pull through." Spike declared.

Spyro nodded, "I think your actions might have evolved Humdrum's character. Check out the comic now."

They saw the last page of Humdrum standing in front of the Power Ponies letting him in the limelight.

"You're right. Humdrum's taken a level in badass." Whirlwind said.

"Just like you, Spike." Twilight added.

Spike blushed at the compliments but before he could speak, the sounds of screaming could be heard.

"What's going on?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"We better check it out." Sally suggested. The group hurried off not even bothering to know how the comic actually pulled them in.

Meanwhile the Sinister Sisters were already terrorizing the Ponyville with some undead creatures known as Hidiacs.

"Yes! Flee you miserable equines!" Scarlet announced. The ponies continued running away screaming for their lives.

"This is so much fun." Sage laughed.

"I haven't had this much fun since we terrorized Witch University." Sapphire added.

The sisters continued to unleash terror in Ponyville without a care. Until three fireballs knocked them on their asses.

"What the hell was that?!" Scarlet demanded.

"So now you've become a potty mouth. I am surprised," The sisters recognized that voice as Spike, the Mane Six and the Skylanders showed up and with them was Sally, "I thought your father taught you better than that. Disgraceful."

The sisters were shocked, as Scarlet spoke, "Sally? You filthy treasonous witch!"

"And you three are an embarrassment to the family." Sally countered.

"Why are you here?" Sage inquired.

"To bring the three of you to justice. Consider this a favor to Professor Periwinkle. She always was my favorite teacher when I was at Witch University. That was two years before Marnie attended."

"You were a student at Witch University?" Spike asked.

"That's right."

Sapphire interrupted rudely, "And the goody two shoes dumb blonde."

Rarity spoke to Sally, "I take it you had to endure dumb blonde jokes?"

"More than you can ever imagine."

"And what other Jokes did you have to endure?" Rainbow asked.

"Any other things they can think of."

"They? Who are they?" Sunburn asked.

"And what did Scarlet mean when she said you were a filthy treasonous witch?" Camo wondered.

"Because I didn't succumb to my own power and tried to subjugate everyone around me."

"You could've been the most powerful witch in town." Sage said.

"But instead you had to pick the way of the warrior and work on your swordsmanship." Sapphire added.

"IT was my choice!"

"Which proves that once again you're a dumb blonde disgrace of a cousin." Scarlet noted.

"You know that's a hurtful stereotype about blondes."

Applejack spoke to the three taking it to offense as well, "And y'all are just a bucking bunch of grabastic pieces of bucking amphibian shit."

The three were appalled at the insult, "Hidiacs! Tear them apart!" Scarlet ordered. The creatures went on the attack.

"Let's save this town." Sally called. The group got ready and went on the attack.

The minions were numerous but they weren't that well organized yet they put up a fight.

"Come on, we can fight comic book characters. This shouldn't be harder." Rainbow said.

"You're right but these aren't Kaos' Trolls we're fighting." Spyro said.

"Never the less, we can't back down." Twilight ordered.

"If it's all the same I'll just watch from a distance." Fluttershy said meekly.

"I wish you were still Saddle Rager." Spike sighed.

"Well, I'm not." Spike shrugged and decided to let it be with her.

Meanwhile Sally and the Skylanders were holding their own against the creatures much to the anger of the Sinister Sisters.

"Is that all you got?" Sally mocked.

"I did not miss this!" Sage growled.

"That's always been your biggest problem." Sally replied.

"What's been their biggest problem?" Rarity asked.

"They don't like losing." Sally answered.

"And now you'll pay for your treason, bitch!" Scarlet fired a blast of dark magic at Sally.

"Sally!" The ponies cried.

Sally drew her sword and batted it away, "It's gonna take more than that to defeat me!"

"Well, you better hope you last long." Sapphire warned her.

"Believe me, I'm not defeated so easily."

So the four continued to engage in combat with the sisters using their magic. Sally was outnumbered but not out matched and with some clever attacked she knocked her cousins on their asses while the Skylanders and Ponies finished off the minions.

"You are defeated and so are your minions. Leave now or else."

"Never!" Scarlet answered.

"Then you leave me and the Dragon Skylanders no choice."

"What're you planning?" Twilight asked.

"You'll see."

"Fat a lot of good you'll do. You ditched your own magic, you slutty bitch!" Sage insulted her.

"I don't need magic against you three."

"Then you're gonna lose." Sapphire said.

"Correction you're gonna lose," To drive home her point Sally overcame the magic of her cousins and beat back the sinister sisters, "Twilight, open a portal please."

"With pleasure." Twilight opened a portal and Sally tossed the Sinister Sisters right through it.

"Now that was awesome!" Rainbow Dash cheered.

"But where'd ya send them?" Applejack wondered.

"London."

"Is that safe." Fluttershy asked.

"To be honest I was kind of taking a gamble." she admitted.

"Anyway you never answered Sunburn's question from before." Spike said.

"By 'they' I meant those three and whatever other mocks they could think of."

"Sounds like you and your cousins don't get along much do you?" Rarity noted.

"I'm afraid not." Sally admitted.

"Well, at least ya did the right thing even if they were family." Applejack said.

"Indeed but I have news as to what's happened to Halloweentown. Take me to your leader." Sally instructed.

The ponies nodded, as Twilight used her magic to teleport them to Canterlot.

"Where are we now?" Bash asked.

Twilight explained, "Canterlot. The capital of Equestria. We'll take you to Princess Celestia and Princess Luna now." They headed for the castle.

"Nice place." Cynder admitted.

"Reminds me of the Cloud Kingdom." Spyro said.

"We're here." Twilight said.

They entered the castle. The team made their way to the throne room where Celestia and Luna were waiting.

"Princess Celestia. Princess Luna." Twilight greeted.

"Well, this is a surprise. We weren't expecting seeing you today. And who're your friends?" Celestia inquired.

Before Twilight could say anything, Luna looked ahead and saw Sally, "Sally?"

"Princess Luna. Looks like you got my message from the Ed Boy's dream."

"Yes. But what are you doing here?"

"To tell you that things in Halloweentown have gotten worse." Sally admitted.

"Just as I feared." Luna said.

"How much worse?" Celestia inquired.

"Perhaps I better show you."

Sally used some magic to show that the town was held in the iron grip of the Forces of Darkness and that all the other creatures had been enslaved to work for the Darkness but to make matters worse the Cromwell Family and all their relatives were getting the most brutal treatment.

"As you can see the Forces of Darkness want revenge upon you lot. Something about ruining their plans and rendering one of their own powerless."

"This is payback for when we stripped Drago of his fire demon chi." Twilight realized.

"Trust me I know my cousins and believe me we haven't even begun to feel the full wrath of their new allies. They're gonna make all of us pay for stripping Drago of his fire demon chi."

"How horrible." Fluttershy gasped.

"Horrible doesn't even begin to describe the war that's about to come." Spyro replied.

"Which means we better prepare for the worst." Sunburn warned them. The others agreed as they went to prepare for the worst.
