Me and Olivia Pensagammon were flying over an island in the ocean and we were over Luau Island. It was a beautiful island.

Me: Luau Island. Wow. This place is beautiful.

Olivia: It sure is. It would make a great vacation spot.

Me: It is called Luau Island for a reason.

Olivia: Yep.

Me: And from the looks of things our next girl that McWolf kidnapped is underwater.

Olivia Pensgammon: Good thing my Palkia form is part Water type. (concentrates)

Olivia groaned as her hair started falling out in clumps.

She grew and turned into Palkia!

Me: YEAH! Lets go Olivia!

We flew into the water and we got to swimming and we saw an underwater castle.

Me: An underwater castle.

Olivia Palkia: Wow!

We swam up to it.

Oilvia: When we get inside, should I revert back?

Me: Sure I have an extra set of clothes for you. Leni told me to have them ready for you.

Olivia Palkia: Thanks J.D.

We got inside and I got onto the land and I put on my blind man glasses and Olivia reverted back and I gave her new clothes.

Olivia: Thanks J.D.

She put them on and we got to work.

Me: This way.

We went into the castle and then we busted into the throne room and McWolf saw us and he screamed and his hair fell out and we jumped him and ticked him all over.

Me: Coochy coochy coo!

He was laughing hysterically.

Me: Give up?

McWolf: (Laughing hysterically) I GIVE UP! I GIVE UP!

Me: Good.

We looked for the girl and I stepped on a button and then out of a hidden door in the floor rose up a platform and tied to a chair was a mermaid girl and it was Mero the Mermaid.

Me: She's a mermaid.

Olivia: Wow! She's beautiful.

We went over and freed her.

Mero: Oh thank you. Wow! The famous J.D. Knudson, Leader of Team Loud Phoenix Storm.

Me: That's right and it's a pleasure to meet you.

Mero: My name is Mero.

Olivia: It's a pleasure. I'm Olivia Pensagammon.

Mero: Pleasure.

Me: Miia and her friends are worried about you.

Mero: How do you know Miia?

Me: She's one of my harem. I saved her and her friends Rachnera, Cerea, Nan Que and Papi as well. They are part of my harem too.

Mero: Wow! I am forever grateful to you both.

Olivia: It was our pleasure.

Mero: (to Olivia) I sense something inside you for some reason.

Olivia: That's Palkia.

Me: It's a really long and ugly story Mero.

Mero: I'll have to hear about it.

Me: It's not pretty but here goes.

I went over everything that happened to the gene-slammer girls and how they went through a bunch of nightmares like that and it was terrible. When I was done she was shocked.

Mero: Oh man! That's awful!

Olivia: Yeah it was.

Me: But I helped them become human again.

Mero: That's amazing.

Me: Yeah. Show her Olivia.

Olivia: Time to transform again.

Olivia's shoes started to get tight.

And then she turned into Palkia.

Mero: Wow! She's a Pokemon too?

Me: Yep. The Space Pokemon. That's what Palkia is.

Mero: That is amazing!

Me: It sure is. Lets get you back to the World Tree Estate.

Mero: Awesome.

Me: Hold on.

McWolf: Let me guess? Naked gene-slammer?

Me: Yep.

McWolf: Don't worry. Even I know when to not look or Nicole would come and beat me to death.

Me: Good.

McWolf covered his eyes.

I put on my blind man glasses and Olivia reverted back to human again. And once again, she was naked.

Olivia: (covers herself) I hope no one thinks I went skinny dipping in here!

Me: Don't worry Olivia.

I hand her another set of clothes.

Olivia: Thanks.

She put on her clothes again.

Me: One of these days we need to make clothes that fit Pokemon of any size.

Olivia: Yeah.

Mero: But thank you all for saving me and it will be great to see Miia and the girls again.

Me: It sure will. One sec.

I formed a floating ball of water and Mero was in it.

Mero: Whoa! That was clever.

Me: Thanks. Lets go.

We went back to the World Tree Estate.


We arrived back home and Olivia went to sit on the sofa.

Me: This is the World Tree Estate.

Mero: Wow! This is amazing!

Nico: Welcome back. Wow! A mermaid this time.

Mero: Yep and it's a pleasure to meet you Nico.

Nico: Same to you.

Miia saw her.

Miia: Mero!

Mero: Miia!

They went over and hugged.

Miia: It's great to see you!

Rachnera: It's awesome having you with us.

Cerea: Same here.

Mero: It's great to see you girls here.

Papi: Same here.

Nan Que: We're happy you are here with us Mero.

Mero: It's a great honor.


Later the next morning me and Mero were walking to school in the middle of a powerful thunderstorm. I had my raincoat on and galoshes.

Me: Man it's really coming down.

Mero: No kidding but I like the rain.

Me: Yeah but not when it's got thunder and lightning with it.

Mero: Yeah.

We arrived at school and went in and I took off my galoshes.

Me: Whew!

I saw wet spots all over the floor and no wet floor sign.

Me: Uh oh.

I went to go get a wet floor sign and I put it up in front of the lockers.

Me: There.

I then pulled out my shoes in my backpack and put them on and took off my raincoat and shook it off.

Me: Whew.

I went to my locker and put my rain coat in it and got my books for class. Then I heard crying.

Mero: Uh oh.

We went over and saw that Rarity was a mess from getting to school late from her beauty sleep.

Me: Uh oh. Rarity did you sleep in again from your beauty sleep?

Rarity: (Crying hard)

Me: Oh Rarity I can fix this.

I fired a beam of red magic and made her better and got her into her normal look.

Rarity: Oh thank you J.D.

Twilight Sparkle and Sunset came in and they were soaked.

Me: Whoa you girls are soaked.

Twilight Sparkle: Yeah it was really coming down.

Me: No kidding.

I gave each of them a towel from my backpack.

Sunset Shimmer: Thanks J.D. Some storm huh?

Mero: I like the rain.

Me: It's good for the plants and the air.

We went ot class and Fluttershy came with a birds nest in her hair and she had a little dirt on her clothes.

Me: Wow Fluttershy. Are you all right?

Fluttershy: I'll make it.

Then we saw Pinkie Pie and she had her hair straightened.

Me: Didn't get your usual trend for a party Pinkie?

Pinkie Pie: I'll be all right.

Then a rainbow zoomed by us and then...

CRASH!

We saw Rainbow Dash crash head on into the lockers and she left skid marks on the floor and a human impact print in the lockers.

Me: Whoa!

We helped her up.

Me: R.D. are you all right?

Rainbow Dash: Yeah I'm okay.

Me: But your shoes aren't. Geez that is a nasty road rash.

Mero: Yeah.

We saw that her shoes were burned and torn.

Me: Those shoes went down the drain.

Mero: They sure did.

Applejack came in and we saw that she had her beach shoes on. They looked like strawberry sandals.

Applejack: Howdy everyone.

Me: Must've been in a hurry huh Applejack.

Applejack: Yeah I didn't have time to look for my boots.

Me: Oops. Luckily I got this.

I fired a beam of magic and put her normal boots on.

Me: There.

Applejack: Thanks J.D.

Me: Lets get to class.

We went to our classes and we got the day started.


Later after school we were getting ready for an awesome camping trip. We were going to Winsome Falls in Equestria. We were walking all the way. I was dressed in awesome camping and hiking clothes and had an awesome backpack on. We were hiking and walking.

Me: This is gonna be an awesome camping trip.

Applejack: You all will love it J.D. Winsome Falls is an amazing camping spot for many people and ponies and me, Rarity and Rainbow Dash do it every year with our sisters.

Apple Bloom: We sure do and it's so much fun.

Me: I love camping and we haven't gone camping in a while.

Nico: And we could use it too. Especially after all the adventures we have been having. I think we earned a good camping trip.

Me: I know.

Nico: Sorry, Mero. But you'll have to find some way to demonstrate your powers to us today.

Mero: I understand that you guys all want to relax after going on big adventures. But I'm more than happy to get some fish for you all.

Applejack: Hey that would be great.

Nico: Yeah!

The Masters of Evil then appeared and they were dressed in hiking and explorer clothes.

Vypra: Don't forget about us!

Me: We wouldn't. Always glad to have you all here with us.

Dark Spicer: Last time we had an awesome camping trip was after we destroyed Tara's father.

Carly Atlas: Yeah that was awesome.

Misty Tredwell came and clung to my arm.

Misty Tredwell: You have been real busy.

Me: That is an understatement Misty.

Miia: You're telling me.

Eddy: Where are we going anyway?

Me: We're going to Winsome Falls.

Applejack: You guys will love going there. It's a beautiful place where the rainbow waterfalls come out of the clouds.

Eli: I can't wait to dip my feet in the water.

Nico: It will be awesome to relax and have fun after a huge series of adventures.

Rarity: You all will love it.

Rainbow Dash: And it's awesome.

Scootaloo: It sure is.

Fluttershy: We'll all have fun.

Nico: We sure will.

Papi: This is gonna be so cool.

We then heard waterfalls and we saw that we were at Winsome Falls!

Me: WOW!

Robo-Blaze: Is this it?

Applejack: Yep we're here!

We saw the beautiful rainbow waterfalls of Winsome Falls!


Winsome Falls are composed of multiple rainbow-colored waterfalls. It is the camping destination for Applejack, Apple Bloom, Rarity, Sweetie Belle, Rainbow Dash, and Scootaloo in the episodes Sleepless in Ponyville and Campfire Tales.


Me: Wow!

Eli: This place is beautiful!

Varie: It sure is!

Nico: And it was well worth the journey.

Meru: It sure was.

Nico: I'll say!

Olivia Pensagammon: Wow!

Me: Lets set up camp everyone.

Firefly: I'll light the campfire.

Laney: I'll make some wood.

Laney used her plant powers and made firewood.

Lana gathered rocks for the fire.

Me: And I'll gather the things for the S'Mores.

Shaggy: Like oh boy!

We got the camp set up.

Maria: I hope there are no wild animals here.

Fluttershy: Don't worry Maria. I'll protect you all from them.

Mero: But it's beautiful all out here.

Nico: It sure is and the view of the stars is gonna be even more spectacular.

Rarity: It most will Nico.

Horsea: I'll help Mero catch some fish.

Maria: Okay Horsea.

We got the tents all set up and we were just about finished.

Me: There.

Varie: Tents are looking good.

Applejack: They sure are. As long as no Flyders or anything like that bothers us.

Me: And thank goodness for that.

Mero and Horsea came with lots of great fish for us to eat.

Mary K.: Awesome fish catches.

Mero: It was really easy to catch them.

Horsea: It sure was.

Mary K.: I'll get to work on our dinners.

Me: Awesome.

Mary K. got to work on our dinner.

Poromon: (to the Trinity of Violence) Are you girls still mad at me for pushing you three around when I had muscles?

Lori: Nah we literally forgave you for that.

Lola: We sure did.

Lynn: Yeah it's all water under the bridge. Besides we can never beat up one of the cute mascots.

Flint Lockwood: That is good and thank you all for helping all of Swallow Falls guys.

Me: Anytime Flint.

Sam Sparks: But that was just as awesome as the first time you were with us.

Me: It sure was.

Manaphy: (to Poromon) I think you were hot with those muscles!

Poromon: Thanks Manaphy.

Mero: For a little guy he sure was tough.

Me: You said it Mero.

Nico: Yeah.

Mary K.: Dinner's ready.

We were having cajun creole fish stew.

It was really good fish stew.

Maria: Anyone got a scary story to tell?

Poliwag: I've got one. It all started before I met Nico. It was a time when I owed some mobsters money.

Me: What happened?

We heard the story in detail.

Poliwag: And then I smashed the mobsters with my tail and blasted them into dust with my bubble beam.

Me: Whoa!

Nico: Wow! That was awesome.

Poliwag: Thanks.

Me: I have a story. This one actually happened to me shortly after we got the World Tree Estate.

Mero: What is it?

Me: Did you guys know that I actually met the Smurfs?

Nico: No we didn't. When did that happen?

(NOTE: This story I'm about to tell takes place between the events of chapter 1333 and 1334.)

Me: It was back after we got the World Tree Estate. I was feeling sad about our house turning into such a ginormous tree and I wasn't used to it after our estate got turning into it. So I went down to the surface to clear my head. I went into the forest and heard awesome songs singing and I stumbled upon a really amazing sight. I saw a little tiny village and in the village were these amazing little blue creatures called Smurfs.

Shiv: What are the Smurfs like?

Me: They are really friendly and magical creatures. They do awesome jobs and have their own amazing talents. Papa Smurf is the wisest one out of them all and Grouchy Smurf hates everything. (Laughs) Also there's Weepy and he cries a lot. Poor guy. Also there's Brainy Smurf and he is a genius and Lisa and Dexter would like him and Luan would like Jokey Smurf, he is a riot.

Luan: (laughs) I'm sure I would.

Me: Yeah and every Smurf has their own unique and amazing talent. And there's also Smurfette. She is the most beautiful of them all. She has long flowing blond hair.

Nico: That's amazing.

Vince: Man I used to watch the cartoons for the Smurfs a long time ago. They were awesome.

Carol: Those were great cartoons.

Me: They sure were. The Smurfs are great friends to all and amazing to learn from. But then there is one person that absolutely hates them with a vengeance.

Ets: And who is that?

Vince: I have a feeling I know who you're about to say.

Me: Yep. His name is GARGAMEL!


Gargamel is the main antagonist of the Smurfs franchise. He is an evil wizard of debatable skill. Since his first defeat at the hands of the Smurfs, his main goal in life is to capture the Smurfs, the reasons varying from story to story, but in general, so as to either eat them or use them as ingredients in one of his potions.

In the Hanna-Barbera cartoon, he was voiced by the late Paul Winchell who also voiced by Dick Dastardly from Wacky Races, another Hanna-Barbera cartoon.

Character

He is the main antagonist who, along with his cat Azrael, and later with a young apprentice named Scruple, continued to plot against the Smurfs in order to capture and/or eliminate them. He was accountable for the creation of Smurfette, who was changed into a real Smurf by Papa Smurf. Gargamel is a loathsome individual who is prepared to commit many sinister and cruel acts to achieve his goals and he can be downright ruthless on occasion, such as enjoying the time to torment the Smurfs, threatening to burn Puppy alive, and even attempt to harm the defenseless Baby Smurf. He has even gone out of his way to simply make sure to ruin the happiness of others. However, despite his dark and evil heart, there have been a few occasions where Gargamel has shown a small amount of genuine emotion, most notably with Azrael, who Gargamel has shown real care for on rare occasions despite abusing him and even goes against Lord Balthazar to guard his cat, claiming that Azrael is all he really has and is quite possibly his only real friend. Also, when he was once forced by Balthazar to behead Puppy with a guillotine, he pleaded with his godfather to find a different way before submitting to Balthazar's intimidation.

Gargamel's unkindness and wicked nature seem to stem from a harsh life and upbringing. One example being that Gargamel hates having his Birthday on Halloween because every year nobody wishes him a Happy Birthday or gives him a present, and all Gargamel really wants is for somebody to remember his Birthday. His mother often mistreats him and tries to make him more evil, while also resenting him for flunking Wizard's School. Deep down Gargamel is aloof and insecure due to being ugly and even admits that no one has ever genuinely said they loved him. In the cartoon show episode "They're Smurfing Our Song", Gargamel is revealed to possess a small amount of goodness somewhere in his heart, as shown when he was moved to tears by Sassette's kind and loving words as even the force of evil within him could not withstand Sassette's love as she was the first person to ever say they loved him indeed. When affected by Woody's magic pan flute, Gargamel's inner goodness was brought out due to finally feeling happiness after so long and he revealed to Papa Smurf that he had not been his true self in a long time due to his many years of hate and even owed him an apology, and Papa Smurf accepted his apology, knowing full well that everyone had good in their hearts somewhere. The spell of happiness that brought out his goodness was only temporary, but according to Papa Smurf, the memory of the event would remain with Gargamel forever.

What Does He Need the Smurfs For?

Gargamel's motive for capturing all the Smurfs varies, depending on the episode or the media he is presented in. His motives are:

To transform them into gold
To devour them
To eliminate them

However, the cartoon show clearly indicates in some episodes that he wishes to do all three, as noted in his song:

Oh, I'll fry a few and pickle a few and serve a few real cold, Then I'll toast a few and roast a few and use the rest for gold.

But regardless of his intentions, Gargamel just plain hates the Smurfs. In the original comic book stories, Gargamel kidnapped one of the Smurfs during their first initial encounter with him and intended to use the Smurf for making gold when the other Smurfs ambushed the wizard in his castle and rescued the abducted Smurf. When trying to use one of his formulas on himself to go find and capture the other Smurfs, it ended up shrinking him to Smurf size. As he found out that the Smurfs had switched his giant-growth formula with his shrinking formula, he swore he would get his revenge on them and has been terrorizing them ever since.

In the cartoon show, Gargamel's hatred for the Smurfs is explained in the episode "Gargamel's Time Trip", where a younger Gargamel, while still in wizard's school, came across some Smurfs in the forest. He walked past the oak tree when his kitten Azrael sniffed and spotted something hiding behind the bushes. The "something" in question turned out to be a Smurf, and soon Azrael tackled the Smurf to the ground, allowing Gargamel to get a better look at his catch. After searching through his wizard's book, he found out what it was and realized it was a Smurf, a necessary ingredient in the formula for turning base metals into gold. With this, he realized he would be a shoe-in at the school's science fair. He decided to go home with his prize catch but Papa Smurf tripped him, rescuing Brainy and apologizing to the wizard for hurting him while standing on a tree stump. Gargamel then tried to catch him and the other Smurfs as they stood on the tree stump, but as the Smurfs jumped away from the stump, a large boulder fell on Gargamel, crushing him and hunching his back. He then furiously promised that he would find the Smurfs no matter what and have his revenge. Unbeknownst to Gargamel though, the boulder was actually dropped by his future self who had traveled back in time to crush the Smurfs, hence making Gargamel's hatred for the Smurfs his own fault.

Skills

While Gargamel isn't the strongest villain, he is a highly competent wizard. He has many books of spells and knows how to do them right. His Great Book Of Spells can be used when there is a full moon for things beyond his normal repertoire. In contrast to his skills in the mystic arts, Gargamel at times is clumsy, foolish or gullible.

While he is generally regarded as a wizard, his methods seem to imply he is more of an alchemist. Two of the most renowned "holy grail" objectives historically sought in alchemy folklore are:

transmuting elements into gold (a process known as Alchemy, though the word is never used) (Gargamel seeks Smurfs to create gold) creating artificial lifeforms called golems or homunculi via chemical means (Gargamel created Smurfette and has transmuted himself into a baby Smurf). Family

Gargamel's mother has appeared in several episodes. Gargamel and Azrael are afraid of her and her cooking because it's so disgusting. She wants her son to be a very great wizard but has shown to be very disappointed in him at times.

Gargamel has a fiancee that his mother and Madame Lavinia has scheduled him to wed named Andria in "Wedding Bells For Gargamel" However, he was only interested in an item the Smurfs had put into her hope chest, which turned out to be a map to the Smurf Village. As he caused havoc trying to get his hands on the map, which the Smurfs were trying to get back, the wedding was canceled.

Gargamel had a cousin named Argus who appeared in the Smurfs cartoon special, "The Smurfic Games". His cousin only appeared in that special, and it seemed like he was good friends with Papa Smurf. He dies, though, and he claims that he's not fond of Gargamel.

A common relative shown throughout the show is Gargamel's godfather, Lord Balthazar - a more evil wizard who looks down on him. Lord Balthazar is easily angered by Gargamel and his stupidity. He also didn't believe in Smurfs until he saw them in his castle at one point. Gargamel is sometimes asked to take care of Lord Balthazar's castle, but this mostly ends up with Gargamel getting in deep trouble.

In Season 8, Gargamel is shown to have a god niece named Denisa in Season 8, who only appeared in 3 episodes. She is the niece of Balthazar and comes to Gargamel's hovel to play. Both Gargamel and Scruple find her annoying. Her only role was to probably be a human friend for Sassette and to be another headache for Gargamel.

In Season 9, ancestral relatives of Gargamel and Scruple have been encountered by the Smurfs in different time periods, ranging from a pharaoh's servant, a Roman chef, to even a Dutch wizard.

In the comic books, Gargamel has two cousins, Sagratamabarb and Barbapapa, a twin brother named Gourmelin, and three lookalike nephews. A crossover comic with Sophie Karamazout also featured a modern-day descendant, Edgar Gamel, who continues his ancestor's pursuit of the Smurfs. A father is mentioned in the Sony Pictures' live-action film series.

As far as his own offspring, Smurfette, Sassette, Vexy, Hackus, and Dufus the giant are considered this, either by Gargamel or by the characters themselves, depending on the media.


Twilight Sparkle: What is he like?

Me: He is the worst wizard ever and he wants nothing more than to catch the Smurfs and eat them for dinner and turn them into gold. You guys would hate him.

Everyone gasped.

Vince: Yeah I've watched the Smurfs cartoons for a long time and what he does is awful.

Me: Yeah.

Electro: (to Grim) Didn't you meet creatures like the smurfs one time?

Grim: (Jamaican Accent) I sure did mon. It was Billy that met them first. They were called the Schlubs.

Me: Wow. That's interesting.

Mandy: I actually melted them down into 99 gold bars.

Me: Wow!

Mandy: Schlubs can be melted down into gold. But they are not like the Smurfs. They are actually more crazier than the Smurfs.

Electro: That's interesting. J.D. how did you save them from Gargamel?

Me: I faced him in a fight and his cat Azreal wants to eat them too.

Nico: I had a feeling you would face him.

Me: Yep. And all it took was one punch to his face and smashing him into a tree. After the fight I offered to have Papa Smurf and the entirety of the Smurf Village moved to the park under our protection.

Nico: And did they accept?

Me: They sure did.

Laney: Wow!

Tentacool: Gargamel is a fucking cannibal!

Me: No cannibalism is where you eat your own kind.

Tentacool: Oh my bad.

Me: I would call him a murderer.

Nico: That's more accurate.

Jirachi: But that's cool that you got to meet the Smurfs.

Me: It sure is. And whenever I would need time to chillax I would go talk to Papa Smurf and the Smurfs in the park.

Eli: That's so awesome.

Me: Yep.

Nico: Wow!

Eli: That is amazing.

Scootaloo: That is amazing! Anyone else have any stories?

Applejack: I got one.

Nico: What is it?

Applejack: I am gonna tell you all mine and Apple Bloom's favorite legend.

Apple Bloom: Ooh! You mean Rockhoof? I love that one! He was so strong, and when he—

Sweetie Belle: Apple Bloom, shhh! We haven't heard it yet!

Me: This is gonna be interesting. I've always wanted to hear all about the story of Rockhoof from your take Applejack.

Rockhoof: (Scottish Accent) I'm honored lass.

Apple Bloom: Oh, okay. But it's so good! Heh.

Applejack: Well, it's true. Rockhoof was known far and wide for his incredible strength. But he didn't start out that way. You see, Rockhoof was a tiny little fella, the son of a farmer.

Apple Bloom: Just like us!

[Beat]

Apple Bloom: [laughs nervously]

Applejack: They lived in a village that sat at the foot of a gigantic volcano.

The story began in Rockhoof's old village 1,000 years ago and it was right next to a huge volcano that had smoke coming out of it.

[flute music]

Two big ponies were clashing with spears.

[clink]

Applejack: [narrating] And the village was protected by an elite group of guard ponies called the Mighty Helm.

Mighty Helm ponies: [laughing]

The Mighty Helm loved each other like family and Cocoa Axe threw an axe at a stump.

[thunk]

She hit it.

Applejack: [narrating] Young Rockhoof wanted nothing more than to be part of the Mighty Helm.

[straining noises]

He tried to pull the axe out but he wasn't strong enough to do it.

[thud]

He crashed onto the ground.

Mighty Helm ponies: [laughing]

It was a good try though.

Applejack: [narrating] But he was told that he was too scrawny and weak to protect the village.

Mighty Helm ponies: [more laughing]

Rockhoof: [whimper]

Applejack: [narrating] But Rockhoof wouldn't take no for an answer.

Rockhoof knew that he would join if he just worked hard enough. He got to digging.

Applejack: [narrating] Then, one fateful day...

[rumbling]

An earthquake rattled the lands.

Applejack: [narrating] ...the volcano erupted!

KRABBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!

The Volcano erupted with tremendous force!

Rockhoof: Eeeeeeeeeeee—

Apple Bloom: [continued] —eeeeeeeeee! This is my favorite part!

Rockhoof: Aye good times lass.

Rainbow Dash, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle: What happened next?!

Me: I have a feeling that this is gonna be good!

Applejack: The molten lava poured down the side of the volcano...

Lava was gushing out of the volcano.

Mighty Helm ponies: [indistinct chatter]

Applejack: [narrating] ...and try as they might, the Mighty Helm couldn't figure out a way to save the village! They had to evacuate. But the village ponies didn't wanna leave their homes. They spent their entire lives there. They had nowhere else to go! So Rockhoof decided to do something crazy.

[digging]

Rockhoof knew it was up to him to save the village and he got to work!

Applejack: [narrating] He thought if he could divert the flow of the lava, he might be able to save his village. He started diggin' a trench!

Sweetie Belle: Wait a minute. All by himself?

Rainbow Dash: It'd be impossible for one pony to dig a trench fast enough to stop the lava. I mean, even I couldn't do that.

Me: But we could do that.

Nico: Yeah we have that kind of power.

Apple Bloom: [fangirl squealing]

Sakura H.: And I thought I was the only one that was excited like that.

Applejack: Good thing Rockhoof didn't believe in the word "impossible".

Me: And neither do we.

The story continued and the lava was getting closer and closer.

Applejack: [narrating] He continued to work, knowin' the odds were against him, but determined to push through it. Then, somethin' magical happened.

[digging]

[magic noises]

Then Rockhoof was enveloped in magic and he got brawny and stronger and more powerful in strength and turned into the awesome legendary pony we all know.

Applejack: [narrating] Rockhoof got visibly stronger! But the lava was getting' closer.

[rapid speed digging]

With his newly acquired strength he made a trench and got the lava to pour into the ocean

[crunch]

[steam hissing]

ROCKHOOF HAD SAVED HIS ENTIRE VILLAGE FROM CERTAIN DOOM!

[ponies cheering]

Applejack: [narrating] Through his extraordinary determination and sheer force o' will, Rockhoof more than earned his place in the Mighty Helm.

Mighty Helm ponies: [laughing]

Cutie Mark Crusaders: [cheering]

All of us: (Cheering)

Rainbow Dash: Good story, Applejack! Even if it wasn't about me.

All but Rainbow Dash: [giggling]

Apple Bloom: I love that story, no matter how many times I hear it.

Rockhoof: That was very well told lass.

Cocoa Axe: (Irish accent) It sure was. Those were good times back then.

Steela Oresdotter: (Norwegian Accent) They sure were and it was fun back then.

Me: It sure was awesome.

Vypra: That is a really cool legend.

Lyra Heartstrings: It sure was.

Nico: That was amazing. And it was just like what happened when we tried to save all of Los Angeles when a Volcano exploded and formed there.

Nicole: Yeah that was an amazing story.

Rarity: We'll have to hear about that. Now it's time for my favorite legend, Mistmane.

Mistmane: I'm honored that you know my story.

Me: Rarity told me the story about you Mistmane but she hasn't told ALL of us about you yet.

Sweetie Belle: Yeah.

Rarity: Did you all know that Mistmane is not only an amazing sorceress but she is also the most beautiful unicorn in all the land?

Me: I did. That's cool.

Cutie Mark Crusaders: So what happened to her?!

Nico: Yeah can you tell us?

Rarity: I sure can. Well, Mistmane was a very promising young sorceress.

The story begins in the old Imperial Empire of Equestria 1,000 years ago.

[Asian-style music]

Rarity: [narrating] She was as talented as she was beautiful and kind. Everypony loved her and missed her when she was sent to the finest magic school.

Mistmane was going to an awesome magic school many eons ago and a lot of people missed her as she was going away. Mistmane was a very prominent sorceress and learned so much at the school. And then she got a letter from her village.

Rarity: [narrating] While she was gone, she was delighted to find out that her best friend, Sable Spirit, was crowned empress. She couldn't wait to return home once she finished her studies.

When she finished her studies she was shocked to see her village in shambles and turned into a colorless and grey and rotten place.

Rarity: [narrating] But once she arrived, she was devastated by what she saw.

She went up to a villager.

Mistmane: What happened here?

Villager: The Empress happened. She makes everypony work day and night on her palace. We don't have time to take care of anything else.

The palace of the Empress was the only thing that was beautiful.

Mistmane: But that can't be. I know her! She would never do this.

Rarity: [narrating] But there was no denying what was in front of her.

A foal tried to make off with the only beautiful flower in the village and then...

Foal: [gasps]

The flower was taken from him by Sable Spirit.

Rarity: [narrating] Sable Spirit took everything that was beautiful away from anypony else! And Mistmane was sure there had to be some explanation.

She knew that there was something wrong and she went to go confront Sable Spirit.

Sweetie Belle: I'd assume there was, too. If somepony told me either one of you two'd gone evil...

Scootaloo: Yeah, I'd never believe it.

Me: I would be shocked myself and I would want some answers too.

Nico: Same with me.

Apple Bloom: I dunno. I've seen the way you two get when you miss breakfast.

We glared at her.

Apple Bloom: [chuckles nervously] Just kiddin'. But I'd want answers too.

Rarity: So did Mistmane. She went to confront her friend.

The story resumed and Mistmane walked through the palace and stood before the empress.

Mistmane: Sable, is that you?

Sable Spirit: Don't tell me you don't recognize your old friend.

Mistmane: I don't. My friend would never work our families and friends to the bone for something as silly as a palace.

Sable Spirit: Silly? My palace is a beacon of beauty! Anypony who passes will be in awe of its majesty!

Mistmane: What good is a pretty palace if it just hides the misery of its ponies?

Sable Spirit: Beauty is everything. You taught me that.

Mistmane: What?!

Sable Spirit: You were always the pretty one. You got to go to the best magic school. Everypony missed you. Everypony loved you! I admit I was jealous, so I tried to perform a spell that would make me beautiful. You can see how that went!

Mistmane: [gasps]

Her spell backfired and made her an old lady and it warped her mind.

Sable Spirit: I found if I couldn't have beauty, I would take it. I wasn't chosen to be empress, you know. I took it! Just like I'm going to take everything else.

Mistmane: I can't let you do that.

Mistmane knew that she had to stop her.

Sable Spirit: Let me? [laughs]

[magic zaps]

She fired a magic blast and trapped Mistmane in bramble vines.

Sable Spirit: [grunts, growls]

Mistmane busted out.

[magic dragons roaring]

Sable formed a red magic dragon and Mistmane formed her own dragon and they clashed powerfully.

[magic zaps]

Mistmane's dragon overpowered Sable's and knocked over a plant.

[wood creaking]

The wood grabbed Sable.

Sable Spirit: [grunts]

And trapped her in a wood cocoon.

[ponies cheering]

Rarity: [narrating] Everypony thought Sable Spirit was defeated, and that was that. But Mistmane knew there was more she could do to help.

She took the flower she took from the filly and went to plant it.

Rarity: [narrating] Beauty isn't everything. But Mistmane knew that it does have the power to make ponies smile.

[magic noises]

Mistmane sacrificed her beauty and brought all of the beauty back to her entire village.

Rarity: [narrating] She made a huge sacrifice to bring that smile back to her friends' and family's faces... including Sable Spirit's.

Sable Spirit was back to her youth after her spell went wrong.

Sable Spirit: [gasps] You did this for me? Even after I was so cruel?

Rarity: [narrating] Sable Spirit was so touched that she vowed to be more like her friend in the ways that mattered. From then on, she ruled with kindness and compassion.

Sable Spirit was now a benevolent ruler.

[ponies cheering]

Rarity: [narrating] Even though she gave away her physical beauty, she dedicated her life to spreading beauty all over Equestria. Any time you go out of your way to brighten somepony's day by doing something like giving them flowers, you're following in the hoofsteps of Mistmane.

Sweetie Belle: I think she's my favorite legend too.

Nico: That was an amazing story.

Mistmane: It sure was and I'm honored that you know my story very well.

Sable Spirit: Boy that brings back so many memories.

Eli: It sure was amazing.

Vince: Yeah.

Rarity: But J.D. how did you bring back Mistmane to what she was before she sacrificed her beauty?

Me: That's an interesting story. After she and the Pillars of Equestria were brought back from Limbo and we banished the Pony of Shadows to another dimension and saved Stygian, we talked to Princess Celestia about what happened and I knew that Mistmane was a really special pony so I decided to give her back her beauty. I used a powerful magic spell that I learned from all the Equestria Magic books that gave her back her beauty. It was the least I could do for her after how she helped Sable Spirit and helped save her friend from madness.

Mistmane: And I'm glad you did J.D.

Nico: Wow! That is really selfless.

Me: Yeah. Anyone else have a story?

Rainbow Dash: I got one. It's about my favorite legend, Flash Magnus!

Me: We haven't heard that one from you R.D.

Flash Magnus: But I would be honored to hear my story from you.

Nico: Awesome.

Rainbow Dash: A long time ago, before the Wonderbolts were even founded...

Rainbow Dash's story begins 1,000 years ago when Flash Magnus and his team were flying.

Rainbow Dash: [narrating] ...Flash Magnus was a lowly cadet in the Royal Legion.

[heroic music]

[smacks]

He wing-fived his friends.

[plane propellor noises]

They were flying and they sounded like airplanes.

Rainbow Dash: [narrating] And the Legion needed to fly over the Dragon Lands to get to their comrades on the other side. But as they got closer to the dragons...

Flash Magnus: [coughing]

Smoke filled the air.

Rainbow Dash: [narrating] ...the dragons attacked!

FEROCIOUS DRAGONS CAME OUT AND THEY WERE READY TO STRIKE!

[dragons roaring]

Rainbow Dash: Flash Magnus and the Royal Legion tried to get past the dragons...

The Dragons were gonna be tough.

Rainbow Dash: [narrating] ...but the dragons wouldn't let them!

[dragons roaring]

Their fire breath spelled big trouble for them!

Commander Ironhead: Everypony, retreat!

Some of them flew away as a dragons tail went at them.

Rainbow Dash: [narrating] Flash Magnus and a few other cadets were separated from the battalion. He managed to get away, but the dragons captured his friends and took them back to their lair!

[Legion cadets screaming]

[plane propellor noises]

[thump]

The dragons took some of his comrades and took them back their lair.

Flash Magnus: Commander! We need to save our captured comrades!

Commander Ironhead: I appreciate your loyalty, Flash Magnus, but getting past those dragons is going to be impossible. Nothing will work.

Apple Bloom: The commander was right. You can't outfight dragons.

Rainbow Dash: But you can out-think them.

Me: Rainbow Dash is right about that.

Lynn: She sure is. It takes brains to out-think them. Me and Spike used our brains to out think Garble and get back Flash Magnus's shield.

Spike: That was really genius there.

Me: It sure was.

Rainbow Dash: Yeah. Anyway Flash Magnus's loyalty was very strong.

The story resumed.

Flash Magnus: Commander Ironhead, I'm pretty sure I can outfly the dragons. If I can lure them into chasing me, you can all sneak into the lair and retrieve our friends before they get back.

Commander Ironhead: Are you really willing to take that chance, soldier?

Flash Magnus: I am, sir.

Commander Ironhead was moved by his courage and loyalty.

Commander Ironhead: It's a very brave thing you're doing. You'll need all the help you can get.

He gave him his legendary shield.

[clank, shing!]

Flash Magnus: Is this... Netitus, the fireproof shield?!

Commander Ironhead: It has protected Legion heroes for generations. And today, I can't think of a worthier flank for Netitus to protect.

[clank]

Commander Ironhead: Good luck, soldier.

[plane propellor noises]

Flash Magnus was off.

Flash Magnus: [exhales] [shouting] Hey! Come and get me, fire-breath! If you can! [clanking shield] Hey, hey! Come and get me! Hey, I'm over here!

One thing you should never do is insult a dragon and BOY WERE THE DRAGONS MAD!

[dragon roars]

Rainbow Dash: [narrating] While Flash Magnus bravely flew for his life, Commander Ironhoof was able to get his soldiers back.

[dragons roaring]

The dragons were REALLY PISSED at him as he dodged their fire.

[plane propellor noises]

Rainbow Dash: [narrating] Flash Magnus flew like the wind...

[dragon roaring]

[shield burning]

Rainbow Dash: [narrating] ...faster than the dragons!

[burning]

He was flying all over the place as the dragons were trying to burn him all over.

Rainbow Dash: [narrating] But he knew he couldn't do this forever. Luckily, he had a plan.

[lightning striking]

The pegasus gathered storm clouds for a trap.

[electricity crackling]

Commander Ironhead: [whistles]

[plane propellor noises]

Rainbow Dash: [narrating] He led the dragons straight into a storm that the Legion had planted!

[lightning striking]

THUNDERCLAP! THUNDERCLAP! THUNDERCLAP!

Rainbow Dash: [narrating] One taste of the lightning, and the dragons retreated.

[long pause]

[pomf]

The dragons retreated with their tails in between their legs! Flash Magnus came out covered in soot.

Flash Magnus: [coughs]

Rainbow Dash: [narrating] Flash Magnus' plan worked!

He was hailed as a true hero and Commander Ironhead was so proud of him. Flash Magnus tried to give back the shield but he has more than earned the right to keep it and he was saluted for it.

We cheered for that story.

Me: WHOA! That was awesome!

Flash Magnus: Yeah that sure was! That was very well told Rainbow Dash.

Nico: Yeah that story was awesome.

Pinkie Pie: That was an amazing story. Here's my favorite legend. I'm going to tell you about Somnambula.

Somnambula: (Egyptian Accent) I would be honored to hear how you know about me Pinkie Pie.

Rainbow Dash: Well it was where we stopped Dr. Caballeron from ruining Daring Do by turning her into a villain.

Daring Do: That was an amazing story.

Me: Lets hear it.

Pinkie Pie: Okay. It was back in Somnambula's home village which was also her namesake. Somnambula. Long ago...

Many eons ago Somnambula was an Egyptian Style Village that was under the tyranny of an evil Sphinx.

Pinkie Pie: [narrating] ...the village fell prey to an evil Sphinx who demanded most of their crops. Like her fellow villagers, Somnambula didn't have much, but she used what she had to keep others from giving up hope. The son of the Pharaoh, Prince Hisan, was so moved by her compassion that he decreed nopony would go hungry again. But when Hisan stood up to the Sphinx, the beast captured him, telling the Pharaoh the only way to get Hisan back was to solve her riddle. Nopony would volunteer to save the prince. Nopony except Somnambula. The Sphinx gave her the riddle. "I shine brightest in the dark. I am there but cannot be seen. To have me costs you nothing. To be without me costs you everything." As Somnambula thought of the hardship she and her fellow villagers had experienced, she instantly knew the answer. "Hope!", she shouted.

The Riddle was solved but the Sphinx was mad that she got it right.

Pinkie Pie: [narrating] The Sphinx was so enraged, it seemed she might still refuse to release the prince, so Somnambula asked her for one more challenge. But if she accomplished it, the Sphinx would leave from the kingdom forever. The Sphinx quickly agreed, asking only that Somnambula walk to the prince across a deep chasm... blindfolded! Further, the Sphinx had cast a powerful spell that prevented Somnambula from flying.

[Sphinx laughing evilly in a demonic voice]

Pinkie Pie: [narrating] But Somnambula never lost hope! She knew she'd need to make a leap of faith to save the prince. Guided by the sound of the prince's voice... she easily made it across.

The Sphinx was enraged that she was beaten twice and she left never to return.

Pinkie Pie: [narrating] The Pharaoh asked how Somnambula prevailed, and she explained that she had always hoped she could make things better for her people and that hope had carried her through. The Prince replaced the pearls Somnambula gave up with a string of glowpaz. And around her neck, they glowed bright enough to light the entire kingdom.

We were amazed that Somnambula did that.

Me: Wow!

Somnmabula: That was an amazing adventure for me. I never gave up for my people just like I would never give up for my friends.

Me: And we never give up hope either. Just like I never give up hope for anyone.

Flint Lockwood. And that was amazing.

Me: It sure was. But that was a great story Pinkie Pie. We'll have to check out Somnambula's home village some day.

Somnambula: It's a really amazing village.

Nico: Wow.

Mage Meadowbrook: How would y'all like to hear my story?

Me: We would like that Mage Meadowbrook.

Mage Meadowbrook: It was back when I was in Hayseed Swamp. I tried again to brew an unsniffle elixir and I finally got it right!

She saw a Chipmunk sneezing from a cold.

Chipmunk: [sneezing]

She gave it the elixir.

[sipping noise]

And the chipmunk got better.

Chipmunk: [sighs]

Meadowbrook's Mother: Meadowbrook, I think it's time you had this.

She opened a present from her mom.

[thumping]

Mage Meadowbrook: [gasps] My very own healer's mask! You think I'm ready, mother?

Meadowbrook's Mother: Mm-hm.

[knocking]

A knock on the door came.

[door opens]

A sick pony came and she had ugly orange spots on her

Meadowbrook's Mother: [gasps] What caused this?

The pony pulled out a blue lily plant with the same orange spots on it

Mage Meadowbrook: [narrating] Mother calls it Swamp Fever. We've been tryin' to find a cure, but it hasn't been easy. [lily puffs]

The lily puffed out an orange smoke cloud.

Meadowbrook's Mother: [coughing]

[knocking]

[door opens]

They saw that many ponies were sick with SWAMP FEVER TOO!

Royal Pin: [coughs]

IT WAS AN EPIDEMIC!

A pony was coughing up bubbles.

Mage Meadowbrook: [narrating] The fever spread like wildfire.

[ponies sneezing and coughing]

They were coughing bubbles and sneezing lightning.

Meadowbrook's Mother: [coughing]

Mage Meadowbrook's mother had it too!

Mage Meadowbrook: [narrating] I fear if we don't find a cure soon, everypony will be in grave danger!

IT WAS SPREADING LIKE THE PLAGUE AND MAGE MEADOWBROOK KNEW SHE HAD TO DO SOMETHING!

Meadowbrook's Mother: [coughing]

Her mother was sick and in bed and coughing up bubbles

Mage Meadowbrook: [narrating] With mother sick, I didn't think I'd ever find a cure. But starin' at those cursed flowers today, I saw somethin'.

[flash bees buzzing]

Flash bees came and they were mean bees with blue stripes and lightning bolt shaped stingers.

[lilies puffing]

The flower puffed out orange smoke and it didn't affect them in any way. The Flash Bees were pollinating the flowers without any effect.

Mage Meadowbrook: [gasps] Flash bees!

She went to go get the cure from them.

Mage Meadowbrook: [narrating] I realized the flowers' poison didn't affect the flash bees. And if they were immune to Swamp Fever, their honey could be the cure!

[flash bees buzzing]

She followed them to their hive in a tree and got to their hive.

[branch snaps]

UH OH!

[flash bees buzzing]

The Flash Bees saw her and they were mad.

[zaps]

They flew at her and poked her with their stingers full of electricity and it hurt!

Mage Meadowbrook: [narrating] But they were so aggressive defendin' their hive, I didn't know how I was gonna get it!

But she had to think of something.

[flash bees buzzing]

Mage Meadowbrook: Here goes nothin'!

She put on her mask as the bees came.

In her mother's bed she had a phial full of Flash Bee Honey.

Mage Meadowbrook: [narrating] That day I cured mother and the rest of the bayou! It was the greatest feeling I've ever experienced, and I promise to dedicate my life to curing ponies all over Equestria!

Me: Whoa! That was incredible!

Nico: Amazing.

Lola: That was amazing.

Ranamon: It sure was.

Laney: That's my favorite story too.

Mage Meadowbrook: I'm honored.

Me: Boy those were awesome stories.

Nico: Some of the best ever.

Twilight Sparkle: It was really awesome.

Me: Lets make some s'mores everyone.

We cheered.

Jirachi: Can I have some s'mores?

Shaggy: Like they are good and ready.

Shaggy made awesome big s'mores.

We had really awesome s'mores for dessert.

Raj: (Indian Accent) I love eating s'mores as much as I love eating marshmallows.

Lola: I heard you ate many bags of marshmallows Raj.

Raj: You heard right Lola.

Mero: What other stories do you know J.D.?

Me: Oh gosh I know so many of them.

Twilight Sparkle: I heard Beetle mention that he knows an awesome legend about little people called The Littles.

Beetle: Yep. I told that one to the group with Connor as we were doing our usual battle with Jabberjaw.

Me: Boy its been a long time since I saw that one.

Nico: Yeah.

Vince: Same with me.

Me: But that reminds me of another awesome thing that happened to me. I know another friend from school that actually knows a big secret and it's my secret too.

Twilight Sparkle: What is it J.D.?

Me: I promised not to tell anyone until I made my own team and you guys reminded me of it. My friends name is Henry Biggs and he and I know about tiny little people living in his house's walls called The Littles. They are tiny people no bigger than a mouse and they are awesome.

Nico: Wow! I remember reading the books about the Littles. They are great.

Me: They sure are. One day I'll take you all to meet them.

Eli: Sweet.

We had s'mores.

Me: Mmm! Delicious.

Maria: You guys think Kameo's doing ok?

Snake: I'm sure she's doing fine, dude.

Maria: I'm just asking because a lot could happen before we see her again.

Nicole: Don't worry guys. Kameo is gonna be all right. As the Goddess of Video Games, I know all.

Nico: Wow.

Mero: That's awesome.

Eli: It sure is.

Miia: That was amazing that Kameo was able to help you all on Nico's birthday.

Rachnero: It sure was.

Cerea: It sure was awesome.

Me: Yeah. But one thing is for sure. This was the best camping trip ever.

Nico: It sure was.

We had a really great time. We watched the stars and then went to bed and we had steak and eggs for breakfast the following morning before heading back home.

THE END


Another awesome adventure done.

Camping in Winsome Falls was a great idea for this one especially after going through so many awesome adventures. NicoChan11 gave me the ideas for this. Thanks man. Next up is the awesome 1982 movie The Secret of N.I.M.H. and we're going to stop the evil rat Jenner from killing all the humans and declaring war on us for all the experiments we're doing to them in N.I.M.H. or the National Institute of Mental Health and make sure he pays for his crimes. The next girl we're going to rescue is Froze the Fenrir of Norse Myth and we're going to save her in the Monkey Monastery in Spyro's world.

See you all tomorrow.
