The search for the sixth star is underway.

11. Heroes at the Land's End

After savong the people of Seaside Town from the Smithy Gang, Twilight and her friends are discussing about where to go next.

"We have five stars so far." Geno informed. "We'll need two more to fix star road."

"But, we need to hurry." Twilight added. "Smithy will try to take the remaining stars for himself."

Megan looks at the map of Equestria. She sees their current location and gives information she heard. "According to the Elder, another of those stars were rumored to be at an area called the Land's End."

Geno looks at the map. "Looks like that's near the entrance of the Crystal Empire."

"Then, that's where we're going." Twilight said. "Come on."

After getting ready, the crew boards the Friendship Express where they stopped at the entrance to the Crystal Empire. Everyone was surprised to see who was waiting for them.

"BBBFF!" Twilight gasped.

It was indeed Twilight's brother, Prince Shining Armor. Nervous, Chrysalis transformed into a rabbit and hopped behind a tree.

"I heard you were on you way here, Twi." Shining said. "Cadence and I heard of your quest for the Seven Stars of the Star Road."

"You heard right, Shiny." Twilight replied. "We have five so far."

"We heard that star number six is at the Land's End." Megan informed.

"You'll see a cliff near here." Shining said. "That's where the Land's End is."

Still as a rabbit, Chrysalis is still scared. At that moment, Cadence came by and sees the disguised changeling.

"You don't have to be afraid, Chrysalis." Cadence said. "Shining Armor and I heard you've been Twilight on this mission."

Calming down a little, Chrysalis changed back to her normal self.

"Sorry, Cadence." Chrysalis said nervously. "I was afraid that you and Shining Armor are still upset after all the trouble I caused. Especially holding you and the others in my former hive."

"True. We still have nightmares about that. But, I see you've been redeeming yourself well during this quest."

Shining Armor came into the conversation. "She's right. You're determination is what's helping you learn about friendship."

This made Chrysalis feel much better. Soon, she rejoins Twilight and her friends.

"Where did you go, Chrysalis?" Mallow asked.

"Sorry, friends." Chrysalis replied. "I was afraid that Cadence and Shining Armor are still mad at me."

"The way your starting to look," Megan said, "all the nightmares of the past won't matter be ause of what's going on today."

Celestia realizes that Megan is right. Little by little, she's starting to accept friendship.

"Come on, everypony." Twilight said. "Off to the Land's End!"

Saying goodbye to Shining and Cadence, the crew went off. They soon found themselves at a cliff area.

"Wow!" Mallow gasped. "These cliffs are massive."

"Trying to find the sixth star won't be easy." Geno said. "But, we can accomplish anything if we work together."

The crew of heroes started to explore the cliffs. They even boarded cannons to go to other areas of the cliff. Twilight fell into a hole and unleashed creepy dogs. The heroes made short work of the dogs, and continued. Soon, they encountered a mouse wearing glasses.

"Well well well. Visitors." The mouse said

Twilight looked at this mouse. "We heard that there's a star here at Land's End. Is that true?"

"That's what they say. I come from a hidden village named Monstro Town. They might help you in finding the star."

"And, how will be find this Monstro Town?" Chrysalis asked.

The mouse gives them information. If you see spinning sand pits, metallized ant creatures pop out. If they see you close to them, they sink in the ground. Follow them."

"Thank you, Mouser." Twilight said.

The crew look around the sands on the Land's End. They soon spotted spinning pits forming. A metal ant roams the pit. Twilight comes up to the ant. It got nervous, and sinks quickly. Twilight got everybody's attention. "Follow that ant!"

The heroes followed the creature down the pits. Soon, they found themselves in an underground area. A small purple hooded creature greeted them. "Welcome to Belome Temple. It's here where the mighty Belome is tributed."

"Belome?" Mallow gasped. "Wasn't it that freaky looking dog we faced before?"

"It is." Twilight. "I'll bet he'll be surprised to see us again."

As our heroes explore this underground area, Twilight and Mallow started to get nervous.

"How nasty is this dog?" Megan asked.

"Very nasty." Mallow answered. "He even tried to swallow me."

"Yipe! Talk about a nightmare."

"You said it."

After taking an elevator to a lower area, the crew find themselves face to face with a creature Twilight and Mallow met before.

"The alicorn and the white thing." Belone said. "We meet again."

"We do indeed, Belome." Twilight said. "And, we have friends."

Belome sees Geno, Megan, and Chrysalis. It's not too impressed. "I wonder how any of you taste."

Before anybody can do anything, Belome got a hold of Geno, and swallowed him.

"GENO!" They said in unison.

"Too dry for me." Belome said.

The vicious dog spit Geno out. The puppet warrior was shaky. "Now I know why Mallow was nervous."

Belome then did something else. It spit out a Geno clone.

"It can make copies of what it spots out too?" Mallow gasped.

"Never mind that." Twilight said. "Let's take it down!"

Geno used his Geno boost on Megan to boost her attack and defense. Putting on her gloves, Megan gave a big slap to Belome.

"Stand back, Megan!" Twilight called out.

Megan ran off just as Twilight delivered vered a Super Jump. Belome was recovering when Mallow unleashed a surprise.

"Remember my Thunderbolt attack?" Mallow said to the vicious dog. "Here's an upgrade. SHOCKER!"

Mallow unleashed a giant bolt if lightning in Belome. The golden beast started to shake. "Not again."

Belome soon disappeared. So did the Geno clone.mA switch appeared on the floor as Chrysalis stepped on it. A gate rose up, allowing the crew to step through. They found a spring that let them bounce up to an upper level. There, they see a bunch of doors.

"This must be Monstro Town." Chrysalis said. "Let's see if anypony here knows of the star we're looking for."

But, would anybody know of the location of the piece of the Star Road?

We'll find out in our next episode.
