*CRASH!!!* “Ahhhhh!

“Sorry!”

*BANG!!!* “Watch where you’re going idiot!”

“My bad!”

*BOOM!!!* “My cabbages!”

“Oh dear, sorry about that!”

After the somewhat brief meeting with Lance, Twilight, and Ash. Derpy flew off into Maretropolis City to find Amethyst and Dinky. Normally this wouldn’t be a bad thing if somepony else was in the situation the muffin loving pegasus was in, but unfortunately this is not just some other pony. This was Derpy Hooves, and this city was pretty unfortunate to have her here as a….hero for fun, I guess? Anyway, where we last left our hero she was pretty much flying throughout the city trying to find her family. Would’ve been easy if she didn’t have a problem flying, and crashing into a few office building and companies.

“Maybe I should just walk instead of flying.” Derpy said, as she descended towards the street. Only for her to crash land onto a snobbish looking pony’s car. “Okay, note to self. Work on landing properly.” She said as she pulled herself from off the car. Derpy then reached into saddlebag for a pen and paper, and wrote an I.O.U on it before placing it under the destroyed car’s windshield wiper blade. “There, that should do it.... I hope I can figure out a way to repair this pony’s damaged chariot shape turtle.” The mare said as she trotted off, leaving the rich snobbish pony in shock at what just happened.

“Okay, so where do I start looking? From what Ash said there was another me and a sister that Amethyst didn’t know she had. So the best way to find them is to locate the royal guard of this city, or was it the police Ms. Lance said….ugh this world is so confusing.” Derpy said as she was thinking to herself. Before the pegasus could think any longer, she smelled some sweet in the air.

“What is that smell?” She asked, sniffing the air to that familiar bakery smell. “Wait, could it be.” Derpy felt herself slightly floating, as she followed the sweet pastry smell that was coming around the corner of the street. After making a left turn around the street corner, the mare’s eyes widen at what she found. Standing in front of her was a bakery store that sold nothing but muffins. “It is! My dreams have finally come true! A bakery that sell muffins of all types.” like a filly in a candy store, Derpy rushed towards the bakery without a second thought.

In the shadows of a dark alleyway, a mysterious figure covered in a full body cloak watch the cross eyed mare enter into the bakery. “Hm? Perhaps this can be fun?” in a flash the figure disappeared as it entered into the bakery seconds before Derpy entered. The baker within the shop felt a tap and was dragged into the shadows. “Sorry I need to see what I’m working with.” The figure said morphing into the baker unicorn. Derpy soon rushed in moments after with sparkles in her eyes.

“Excuse me, but does this place sells all types of muffins?”

“Why yes, yes we do.” The Baker Unicorn answered with a smile.

“Perfect!” The mare said, as she looked at the sign above the baker pony. “I’ll have the lemon surprise muffin please?”

The muffin was picked out for the pegasus mare. However behind the “Baker” another muffin was formed. “Here you go and seeing how you’re my 100th customer, I’ll give you a Golden Apple Muffin and the Lemon Surprise on the house.”

“Really? Thanks!” Derpy said as she grabbed both of the muffins, and trotted outside of the store. “What a good day this has been. First I meet some interesting ponies, and now I have two free muffins.” Just as the pony was about to eat the golden apple muffin, there was a huge exploding sound coming from behind the her. “What was that?” she asked as placed the muffin into her saddlebag, and flew off into the air. As she reached above the city, she notice that one of the office build that she flew into seconds ago was on fire. “Oh dear, I do hope nopony got hurt?” she wondered. “Maybe I can do something to help? After all Lance did say I am a hero so I might a well help out if needed.” with that, the grey pegasus flew off towards the burning builds.

(Center of Maretropolis)

A few minutes trying to fly perfectly without hitting anything on the way. Derpy made to what was used to be a street filled with buildings and ponies. Now it just looked like someone just set off a bomb or the aftermath of a comet hitting the earth. “What could’ve caused this?” She asked as she walked around scanning the area for anypony that survived the attack. During her search, she notice a small filly standing alone in the wreckage crying.

“*Sniff* Mommy, D-Daddy *Sniff* Where are you?!” cried the filly.

Derpy felt sorry for the poor little filly. All alone with no knowledge of where your parents are, it would bring almost anypony to tears. More specifically Derpy seeing how looking at the filly reminds her of Dinky being in the same situation as her, only different. “Poor little filly, maybe I can help her find her parents.” She thought as she begun to walk over to the filly, only for her eyes to widen as she say a strange purple like creature similar to Lance stood behind the pony. The creature was looking at the filly, as if it wanted to hurt or kill her for no reason. Just as the purple alien like ape was about to grab and crush the little filly. Derpy’s motherly instinct kicked in, as she grabbed the filly out of the way of the monster reach, and appeared a few inches away from him; placing the sobbing pony down.

“And who do we have here?” The alien creature asked, only for Derpy to turn around and glare at him.

“Just a mare who’s a hero for fun.” Derpy answered only for the alien to have a pissed off expression on his face.

“What kind of half-ass backstory is that?” He said, slightly turning around to look at the mare. “I was form from the constant stream of pollution with which you ponies have suffused the earth.”

“I am Vaccine Man!”

“Wait, so you’re a doctor?”

“....What?”

“Well you said that you’re a vaccine colt, so does that mean that you’re a doctor of some sort?”

“No, my name is Vaccine Man, I’m no doctor of any kind.” He said as he punched a piece of a broken wall. “I am here to kill off the pony race.”

“But you can’t do that. Aren’t doctors suppose to heal ponies, not kill them?”

“I’m not a doctor, you stupid pony! I’m here to save this earth from you evil ponies. The Earth is a single living organism and you ponies are the disease-causing germs killing it!”

“Wait, we’re covered in germs?” Derpy asked as she looked over herself. “Oh no! Quick doctor Vaccine Colt, use your healing magic to get them off me.”

Vaccine Man’s left eye twitched as he simple said nothing, but fired a ball of electricity at the caped mare. Derpy saw this and simply just deflected the attack off to the side. “What the?”

“Now that wasn’t very nice. You could’ve hurt somepony with that.”

“That’s the plan you cross-eyed mule.” He said as he fired another ball of electricity only for it to be deflected again.

“Stop that. Don’t you know that ponies are hurt around here because something caused this explosion?”

“I know,” Vaccine Man said with a sicky devilish smile on his face. “I’m the one who caused it.”

“You? But why? What did these ponies do to you that would make you do this?”

“Because you ponies are germs upon this earth. And I’m here to cure the earth by getting rid of you ponies.” Vaccine Man said, as he picked up a large metal pipe and launched it at Derpy.

Derpy picked up the little pony and moved out of the way successfully, only for it to hit her saddlebag. “Oh no my muffins.” She said mentally as the golden apple flavor muffin fell out and landed next to Vaccine Man.

“If it wasn’t for the fact that I used up most of my energy destroying the buildings I would have ended you quick-.” Vaccine Man was cut off mid sentence as he felt something hit his foot. “What’s this?” He asked picking up the muffin.

“Hey that’s my muffin! Give it back!” Derpy yelled, only for Vaccine Man to ignore her and devour the muffin in one bit.

“Oops, was that yours?” He asked sarcastically. Just as he swallowed the remains of the muffin, Vaccine Man felt a surge of energy flowing into him. “What is this strange feeling?”

“No! Not my special muffin! I was gonna eat that!”

“So this is how you were able to deflect my attack. Clever move pony, but now that I’m back to full strength. I can start my killing spree upon you filthy ponies.”

“Why? I know that some ponies can be jerks, but that doesn’t mean that you should kill them just because of whatever it is they did to you.”

“The will of the earth gave birth to me,” Vaccine Man said as his body began to change and grow. “so that I may destroy pony kind and it’s insidious civilization!!! A hero like you wouldn’t understand seeing how your on their side. Then again you’re not even a hero, just somepony who does this for fun? Is that the reason why you dare to oppose me?!” The alien asked as he towered over the grey pegasus in his monstrous form. “The Earth Apostle?!”

“Well that, and because you were about to hurt this little filly.” Derpy answered, as she placed the filly behind herself. “I’m starting to think that you’re not a doctor that heals ponies.”

“I AM NOT A FUCKING DOCTOR YOU BRAIN DEAD MULE! WHAT PART OF ME KILLING THE PONY RACE DID YOU NOT UNDERSTAND?!”

“Um...I was kinda going in and out during your little speech.” Derpy answered smiling sheepishly. “But I do know that I have to stop you seeing how you’re trying to destroy these innocent ponies.”

“You stop me?” Vaccine Man laughed at what Derpy said. “What makes you think that you can stop me? Once I kill you I’m going to destroy everything you hold dear. Friends, Family, your fellow heroes, and the source to your powers that I ate.”

“You mean.”

“Oh yes foolish pony, I’m going to destroy the place that sold you that muffin I ate.” Derpy eyes widen as something inside her made her snap the moment Vaccine Man said that. The mare started to walk towards him as Vaccine man continued to monologuing his plan. “Now then prepare to die along with the rest of your race, you foolish po-.” Vaccine Man was unable to finish, as Derpy delivered body shattering blow to his chest. As the hoof made contact, Vaccine Man’s body burst into a million chunk of alien meat as it splattered around the area she was standing in.

“No pony destroys my new favorite place to buy muffins.” Derpy said as she wiped away the green blood from off her hoof. “I’m sorry for killing you Mr. Vaccine Man, but I can’t allow you to go on your murderous rampage throughout Maretropolis.” She said as she turned her attention at the filly, who was looking at her in both shock and awe. “Are you okay little pony.”

“Y-Yes, I’m fine.” She answered while sniffing a bit. “Aren’t you Detective Hooves of the police department?”

“Y-You could say that.” Derpy answered as she lowered down to the filly. “My name is Derpy Hooves, what’s your name?”

“S-Screwball.”

“Well it’s nice to meet you Screwball. May I ask what happen to you?”

“I got lost when I was trying to find my mommy and daddy, so I figure I go look for them at their job.” Screwball said while trying to wipe away her own tears. “Then there was huge explosion, and I found myself here when I woke up.”

“Well than.” Derpy extended a hoof toward the swirly eyed pony. “How about we look for them together then?” Screwball nodded as a smile appeared on her face. With Derpy’s help the little filly pulled herself up and hopped onto the gray pegasus’s back. “But before we go and head off to where Mr. Lance lives, how about I take you to the best muffin store this city has to offer?” Screwball simply nodded, as Derpy smile at the little filly’s response. “Perfect! To the muffin store.”

As the two flew off into the distance, the same shadowy figure appeared again. Watching the mare fly off into the city. “Well that was an interesting turn of events.” It said as it began to sink into the shadows. “I’ll have to inform the doctor about what just happen. He might find this Derpy Hooves very interesting for his research on evolution."

(Moments later)

“WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE MUFFIN STORE GOT DESTROYED?!” Derpy yelled as a police officer covered his ears from the mare’s yelling.

“It’s like I said before Detective Hooves, the store just blew up for some reason. From what I gathered from the civilians, they say that a blue ball just came out of nowhere and just hit the store.”

“What blue ball? I didn’t see anything come towards the store when I went to investigate that huge explosion in the center of the city-.” Derpy paused for a moment as she realized what the police officer ment. She remember that she deflected one of Vaccine Man’s attack to the side. As the hamster or whatever it was that was going through her head started to move, she put two and two together as her eyes widen in shock and horror. “Oh no. Not again.”

“Um, Detective Hooves are you okay?” He asked as Derpy fell to her knees with tear falling from her eyes. What she was about to say next was a surprise to pretty much everypony within the area.

"I SCREWED UP!!!”
