One Shots: The Next GenerationXiaoIts been a few days since the Los Dios adventure, and on the urging of Usako, its been decided you should take a break, the one place Mansbane is guaranteed not to find you.
Equestria.
You are actually camping out with the Cutie Mark exatled and their new friends. Well friends and whatever Diamond Tiara counts as. The Pink royal pony is obviously not used to roughing it, although Roughing it seems to mainly consist of camping in Fluttershy's back yard (Since there's no way any of the CMC's siblings or guardians would knowingly let you go out into Everfree forest at night.)
Of the six, Scootaloo and Pipsqueak are listening to Usako tell stories of creation, while Sweetie Bell and Dinkie help Applebloom set up camp, meanwhile Diamond Tiara just looks on, not interested in helping in the slightest.
"How are things going out here?" Fluttershy asks you as she comes out, carrying a tray, "I thought you might like some cookies.... if that's alright."
Elasto and TroyYou guys are still in Los Dios, mainly because you are helping the Los Dios Sentinels with a little project; namely the Super Homeys.
As you know, the Hero Act now requires super hero teams to officially cooperate with the US Government, something the Superhomeys have been spurning right and left. It doesn't really help that, when the Elite got cancelled, some of their members ended up joining the Super Homeys. After burning pretty much all their bridges, the Homeys have finally pushed AEGIS too far, and now they're gonna be taken down.
And you guys are helping.
You are outside the Superhomeys HQ, along with a veritable army of Police, AEGIS personnel, and the Sentinels, you are waiting for a few more heroes to show up before you begin the raid.
They arrive in quick order; One of them you recognize as former Superhomey member Empowered, with her are a
Big Guy in a tiger suit, a purple haired cyborg maid, a six armed woman in black leotard......
And Ben FranklinMaria Hill, who is heading the AEGIS operation, comes up to the group. "Mr. Franklin, its always a pleasure to have you here sir, I..."
"With all due respect Agent Hill, I'm not in the mood." Franklin says, "I have already expressed my displeasure with the Hero Act and the ASA's stated intent to oppose it. In fact, if it was anyone else, I would have told you I'm not interested."
Franklin pushes up his glasses and looks over to Empowered, "But if even half the things I've heard about these 'Superhomeys' is true, then the question isn't what are we taking them down, but why we haven't taken them down before now?"
Emp picks this time to speak up, "So, have any of them surrendered?"
"Syndablokk has jumped ship, and Maid Man officially cut whatever tenuous ties he's had with them. And according to our intel Sistah Spooky left shortly after they recruited Hope Lass from the Elite, but the rest of them are sticking together it seems. Looks like the heavy hitters we need to deal with are Rivet, Major Havoc, Protean, Phallik, Mr. Mysterious, Hope Lass, and Protection Girl."
"Protection Lass?" Spinnerette says aloud, "I figured she'd be the first to jump ship."
"Apparently they have her pretty brow beat." Hill says, not showing any sympathy for the young metaman, "From what I've gathered they've more or less stuck her in Emps old position as the teams chew toy."
Empowered clenches her fist at the sound of this.
RelentlessYou are sleeping in today; with most of the team off doing other stuff and nothing really going on you're taking it easy today.
Then you hear a loud crash down in the kitchen. When you go investigate, you find Sistah Spooky, a heroine you recognize from the Super Homeys, raiding your fridge. She stares at you for a full minute like a deer caught in the headlights.
Omni/Shinchuu/CharliIts field trip day! Hope Prep is going to a exhibit on Greek Mythology at the history Museum, and you've been asked to chaperone.
Shinchuu is still having some trouble fitting in with the other students, primarily because Susan is attracting more attention; As it turns out, a rather large fan club as emerged around Charli after the whole Psion incident, and when they discovered Susan was her sister, she took the ball and ran with it.
Discord is there as well, flying around the exhibits and making a nuisance of himself. He however stops at a statue of a winged woman holding out an apple.
Then, the guest speaker arrives; None other than Athena, goddess of Wisdom herself, flies down through the skylight and lands amid the students.
"Hello class, It fills me with pride to come and speak before you today; you are truly the future of super heroics."
