Chapters Here we are in the Forest of Leota, a village located in the kingdom of Lorenza where a female unicorn named Mystic Magic lives with her mom,Esoteric Hermetics,who is an alchemist and her dad,Spirit Light, who is a soldier. Mystic grew up learning healing spells,studying herbs,and learning how to make healing potions from her mom while her dad taught her how to defend herself with destruction magic if she ever got into trouble, he went easy on the fire spells considering they lived in a forest. One day Mystic's father went of to join the army that wants to take over the kingdom that they live in while Mystic went to join the Unicorn's College of Winterhoof and her mom just stayed at home and continued to work on potions and study herbs. While Mystic was at the college she studied more on restoration magic and also a little more on destructive magic. One day while she was looking through the arcanium she came across some books on spiritual magic. After a few books she tried a few spells and realized that she had quite a knack for this type of magic. After a few years she graduated and got her cutie mark in Mysticism. Afterwards she went home to find that her dad had won the war and since he was the one to defeat the king in the end he became the new king of Lorenza which would make his wife the new queen and Mystic the princess but Mystic's mother had no interest in being royalty and decided to keep living in the forest to help keep the rest of the villagers healthy so Mystic and her father took their place in the castle and Spirit Light renamed the kingdom Mysirule after his daughter, Mystic.
Now we meet our main character Sketchy Mane who lived in a village near the castle town of Mysirule with his mom,Preliminary, and his sister,Depthless. Sketchy always loved to make little crafts and write fun little stories and have fun with his imagination with support from his mother and helpful criticism from his sister. They lived peacefully in the kingdom for quite some time. but then one day a massive flood covered the entire kingdom. Fortunately, Sketchy and his family survived and after they all awoke they swam to an island close by. Sketchy noticed there were a few trees on top of a mountain that was on the island so he climbed up my smashing his hooves into the side of the mountain to hold onto it. When he got to the top he punched down a few trees and rolled them down the mountain to his mom and sis so they could use the wood to build shelter but before they did, Sketchy wrote some blue prints for the house in the sand and to their surprise the blue prints looked pretty doable so they built the shelter based off his design and the house turned our pretty good. As time passed, more survivers arrived on the island so Sketchy punched down some more trees and drew some more designs and his mom and sister built the houses and everyone was rather pleased with them. Because of this, Sketchy felt he had a thing for creating things and got his cutie mark in creativity. Sketchy,his family, and everypony else lived on that island peacefully for quite some time but then one day something terrible happened that forced Sketchy to go on a huge adventure to fix the problem and in the process he ran into Mystic Magic, the now former princess of Mysirule and she agreed to help Sketchy on his journey. Near the end of their adventure they found out that the person behind the flood was some evil unicorn named Inept who explained that he knew what it would mean if Sketchy got his cutie mark so he tried to destroy him before he got it but as you can see he failed and then Mystic and Sketchy defeated Inept. After all was said and done and the adventure was over. Sketchy decided to leave his family to go on more adventures with Mystic Magic to protect the world.
Now here we are in the city of Pegaphoenix where pegasi lived in peace with the phoenixes. With such huge buildings everywhere, the sun can hardly shine on the city so that's why the phoenixes are there to provide the pegasi with light and warmth. Now we meet another one of our protagonists, Flaming Wind, who lived in this huge city alone ever since he was a filly so with no family he always considered the phoenixes his family and named himself Flaming Wind based on the powers of fire that the phoenixes had. Since Flaming Wind had such passion for the phoenixes he always hated this one pegasus in the city,Dust Feather, who always went around trying to convince people that the phoenixes would one day turn on them but nobody ever listened to him. One day, Dust Feather found some mechanics to help him trick the pegasi into thinking the phoenixes turned on them. How did they do that you ask? Well the created an artificial sun that they used to block out the other sun which gave off dark radiation which drained the phoenixes of their powers so the pegasi began to think that the phoenixes just decided not to provide for them anymore which lead to a war between the phoenixes and the pegasi. Flaming Wind knew that the phoenixes would never do this so he decided to head off on a quest to find out what was really going on here. Flaming found some people who wanted to help his cause so they made some weapons for him that he could control with his wings to help him defend himself through the mess of the war. After they gave him the weapons he flew off on his journey.
Meanwhile, Sketchy and Mystic heard about this war that was going on so they decided to head to Pegaphoenix to see what was going on. In the process, Sketchy ran into Flaming Wind and they found out that they were part of the same cause so Sketchy decided to help Flaming on his quest and Flaming agreed to this. After a few days they finally found out that the cause of the problem was the artificial sun so they worked together to destroy it and then went to find out who was responsible. They found Dust Feather and found out that he was the one responsible and defeated him and forced him to admit to the phoenixes and pegasi that he caused all this and so he did. Peace was brought back to the pegasi and phoenixes and Dust Feather was locked away for a long time. Afterwards, Flaming Wind suddenly got transported to a void for a moment where he met the Phoenix Goddess who granted him the powers of the phoenix to reward him for his efforts due to his passion for all phoenix kind. This also made Flaming get his cutie mark in the flow of fire. After returning from the void, Sketchy,Flaming,and Mystic all introduced themselves properly and became one great team and went off to go on more adventures to protect the world!...and so...the adventure begins...
After Dust Feather's defeat the mechanics who helped him wanted to get revenge on Sketchy and Flaming so they had a plan to lure the team into a trap. They decided to get a bunch of animals and turn them into robots so that the team would eventually find out and go after them.
As planned, the team heard about what was going on and decided to save the animals while also trying to find out who was responsible.
"So here we are. I don't see any of those robotic animals though" said Sketchy as he walked through the field.
"Yeah, and I don't see any of those mechanics either, what's your plan for finding them anyway?" Said Flaming as he followed along with Sketchy and Mystic.
"Well my plan would be to follow the robot animals but again I don't see any."
"Look! Aren't those the robots over there?" Said Mystic as she pointed forward.
Sketchy squinted his eyes as he leaned his head forward trying to see if they were the robots.
...
Suddenly a laser ball started coming towards Sketchy and he slid to the side to avoid it and then said "Yep, that's them alright. Come on! Let's get 'em!"
The team ran towards the group of robots ready to attack!
3 flying robots fired at Mystic but Mystic pulled up a shield real quick, then put it down, and then fired ice spikes at the 3 robots.
Sketchy smashed his hooves into the ground and pulled out a small boulder and threw it at a group of wheeled robots that were coming towards him. The boulder smashed through them like a bowling ball.
Flaming Wind was just frantically shooting fire balls and other fire-like attacks all over the place and while he was hitting the enemies he was also a bit out of control. His fire attacks kept hitting the trees, the grass, and anything else that's flammable.
After the team was done fighting, animals were freed from the robots they defeated but also the field began to slowly catch on fire.
Mystic pulled the animals away from the fire with her magic and then magically fired water at the fire.
"Flaming, you really need to get your new fire abilities under control!" said Sketchy with a bit of a scolding tone.
"What? I hit all the enemies, didn't I?" Flaming replied.
Sketchy snapped back "YEAH! BUT YOU ALSO ALMOST BURNED DOWN THE WHOLE FIELD!"
"I agree with Sketchy. The animals also would have ran into your fire if I hadn't pulled them away. You need to be more considerate of your surroundings when in battle." Mystic added.
"Alright, fine, jeeze. Can we just go now? We're wasting time." Flaming replied in an annoyed tone as he flew off and Mystic and Sketchy followed.
They continued to travel through the field while fighting more robots and were about to enter the next area but then one of the mechanics appeared with a robot that was just about one pony higher than them with a sword on one arm and a gun on the other.
"Ha ha! You fell for my trap! I put all these animals inside robots just so I could lure you here to defeat you with this machine!" said the mechanic.
"What do you want with us? What did we ever do to you?" asked Sketchy.
"You remember that whole artificial sun fiasco? Did you know that me and my friend were the ones who built it for Dust Feather? I want revenge on you and Flaming because me and my friends were one of the greatest mechanics in Pegaphoenix and nopony destroys our machines! NOPONY! Also because of you we had to leave Pegaphoenix so the authorities wouldn't capture us...and now...you'll pay!" explained the mechanic.
"Bring it on! You think we can't take on your stupid machines?" Flaming said as he began to attack.
Flaming shot 2 fire balls at the robot but nothing happened.
"HA! Don't you know that I built this robot during the pegasi and phoenix war? It's fire proof to protect against phoenixes." The mechanic said in confidence.
"Well maybe he can't harm you but we (Sketchy and Mystic) still can." Sketchy said to the mechanic.
"Is that so? Well then TAKE THIS!" the mechanic yelled as he swung his sword arm at Sketchy.
Sketchy ducked and the mechanic swung again so Sketchy then jumped and then as he landed he slammed onto the sword arm and broke it off the robot. The mechanic then fired bullets at Mystic but Mystic stopped them with her magic and fired them back at the robot and then Sketchy stabbed the sword through the robot which destroyed it.
"Well, that's the second machine we destroyed Mr.'nobody destroys our machines'" said Sketchy in a smug tone.
"Oh so you defeated me. So what? Me and my friend still have more machines ready to fight you! Mark my words for I am Apparatus!" said Apparatus (the mechanic) as he made wheeled boots appear on his hooves and drove off.
"Welp. Guess we should go after him." said Sketchy.
"Yeah, and maybe we'll get to fight this friend of his too!" said Flaming Wind.
And so the team headed off to free more animals as they tried to find Apparatus again and his friend.
TO BE CONTINUED...
(At the mechanics' base)
"YOU TOLD THEM OUR PLAN!?" yelled Apparatus's friend in anger.
"Well...yeah...is that bad?" said Apparatus in worry.
"YES! Since you told them our plan now they won't come after us which means we can't ambush them!" said Apparatus's friend in frustration.
"I think you'd need not worry about that, Contrivance. They're still freeing animals and coming after us as we speak." explained Apparatus.
"Is that so?...Well then this may still work...where are they headed now?" asked Contrivance.
"I believe they're headed to the mountains. That's where our radar last detected some of our robotic animals being destroyed." explained Apparatus in slight relief seeing that Contrivance has calmed down a bit.
"Alright. You stay here. I'll meet them at the top with our new machine that I was building while you were gone." explained Contrivance as he headed towards the construction room.
(meanwhile)
"Mountains huh?...Welp, see you at the top!" said Flaming as he began to fly towards the top of the mountain, but just then Mystic grabbed his tail with her magic and said...
"Wait! We're a team which means we have to stick together. You can't just go flying off by yourself."
"UUUGH. Fine. So what are we suppose to do?" replied Flaming.
"You could fly up and take a look around and see if you see anything unusual then come down and tell us and we'll head towards that." explained Sketchy.
"Got it!" said Flaming who then proceeded to fly up above the mountains.
Flaming Wind looked around for a bit but all he mostly saw was clouds and mountain tips and maybe a few trees but then something caught his eye and he flew back down.
"Well I did see something but I'm not quite sure what it was. It's on top of a mountain just down that way." explained Flaming as he pointed in the direction in the thing he saw.
The team begins to head in that direction as they continue to fight more robots and free more animals while Flaming Wind is still trying to get better at his fire abilities and he IS doing a little better actually. They also climbed a few mountains but also had to go through a few mountains cause there was no way to climb them and some of those mountains turned out to be dormant volcanoes. There was some lava inside the dormant volcanoes but it was very still considering the volcano was dormant. Sketchy used his strength though most of them to make stone paths over the lava by making stalagmites fall from the ceiling. Eventually they came across another dormant volcano but it was a little different compared to the others. There were robots and tight rope elevators and all sorts of mechanical stuff inside.
"No doubt about it. The mechanic has to be on top of this mountain...or...volcano...whatever. Let's go." said Sketchy as he looked around inside the dormant volcano.
A red ball with a ring of fire around it starts shooting fire at Flaming Wind but Flaming covers his hooves in fire and punches the fire back at the ball which destroys it. 4 wheeled robots start firing at Sketchy so Sketchy hops on top of one robot, the robot shoots it and destroys it so Sketchy hops onto the robot next to it which the robot shoots and destroys, after that Sketchy hops onto the back of the robot that was firing at him and drives the robot towards the 4th robot and makes them crash into each other. Mystic jumps towards a flying enemy and stabs her horn through it, throws it at another flying enemy and then fires a magic beam at a 3rd flying enemy.
"Check it out! I can do this now!" says Flaming as he shows Mystic and Sketchy that he can cover his hooves in fire without harming himself.
"That's pretty neat." said Sketchy as he proceeded to tell Mystic "and Mystic I didn't know you would do any physical fighting like that. Doesn't seem very like you."
"Well yes, my father did teach me a few ways of how to attack with my horn as if it were a spear or a sword of some sort." explained Mystic as she felt a little flattered at Sketchy's impressed tone in his voice.
They then proceeded to head up through the inside of the volcano by using some of the tight rope elevators they found. At some point they came across a pit of lava with 2 robots at the bottom of it that have a turtle shell-like back, a snake-like neck and raptor-like head.
"Pffft, what are they gonna do down there?" asked Sketchy as he punched the wall intending to make stalagmites fall on them so they can cross but nothing happens.
Sketchy looks in confusion and punches the wall a few more times and still nothing happens. Sketchy then looks up to see that the part of the ceiling that's over the lava pit has been replaced with metal.
"Are your freaking serious?! Now how are we suppose to cross?" Sketchy asked frustratingly.
"I have an idea" said Flaming Wind as he proceeded to make some fire rise from the lava to try and kill the enemies but it didn't work.
"You idiot. They're apparently lava proof since their IN THE FREAKING LAVA! Even if you did destroy them that still wouldn't help us get across." Sketchy said to Flaming Wind.
"Hey I was trying to help and fine, since I'm such an idiot you can find your own way across." said Flaming Wind as he flew across the pit and landed on the other side.
"Oh of course I could've had him just fly us over there one at a time." Sketchy said as he face hoofed and then proceeded to yell to Flaming "Hey Flaming! Could you come back and fly us over there?"
"What's that? I'm too stupid to understand what you said? Did you say to go on without you? OK!" said Flaming Wind as he proceeded to head through the rest of the volcano.
"Great. Now what are we suppose to do?..." Sketchy said as he sat down and thought.
Mystic proceeded to levitate her clothes so she could levitate herself to the other side.
"H-hey! Where you going!?" Sketchy asked.
"I'm levitating my clothes while wearing them so I can carry myself to the other side." Mystic replied as she landed on the other side. "But don't worry, I'll wait her unlike Flaming Wind." she added.
"Well can't you levitate me over there too?" Sketchy asked.
"No. Sorry. I can only levitate objects, that's why I had to levitate my clothes." Mystic explained.
"Now what am I suppose to do?!" Sketchy said frustratingly as he punched the wall "WHAT?" and punched it again "WHAT?" and again "WHAT?!" and again. After the 3rd punch some rocks fall from the ceiling next to the metal ceiling and falls off the edge of the ground that Sketchy was standing on and hits one of the robots which makes the robot fling his head back. Sketchy looks down at the robots, thinks for a second, and then throws another rock at one of them which causes the robot to fling his head again which gave Sketchy an idea. Sketchy jumped down onto the first robot and grabbed onto its head and the robot started flailing its head around and eventually threw Sketchy off towards the next robot and Sketchy grabbed onto that robot's head which of course made that one start flailing its head around and eventually threw Sketchy to the other side of the pit.
"Ugh. Alright, come on. We need to find Flaming" said Sketchy as he got up and proceeded to head through the volcano.
Eventually they make it to the top of the volcano and see that Flaming has been captured by Contrivance's robot which has a drill arm, a gun chest, a big fist, and a claw arm in the back to hold Flaming.
"Hey! Come on! Let me go!" Flaming said as he struggled to try and escape.
"Don't worry, Flaming! We'll help you!" yelled Sketchy.
Flaming looks down and Sketchy and Mystic and says "Sketchy? Mystic? Oh good you're here! Get me out of this dang thing!"
"We're on it! HEY YOU! Let our friend go!" Sketchy yelled to the pony piloting the robot.
"Why should I listen to you? I am Contrivance! One of the greatest-" Contrivance began to say but was then interrupted by Sketchy who said...
"Yeah yeah, we heard all that from the other colt. Just let Flaming go." said Sketchy with a serious look.
"If you want him you'll have to defeat me first!" said Contrivance as he proceeded to attack.
Contrivance opened the robot's chest and began to shoot bullets at Sketchy and Mystic. Mystic did the same thing she did before which is grab the bullets with her magic and fire them back at the robot but unfortunately, Contrivance blocked the bullets with the robot's fist and then punched Mystic nearly off the volcano and knocked her out. Sketchy got mad and ran towards the robot. Contrivance tried to smash Sketchy with the robot's fist but Sketchy dodged it and got on top of the fist so then Contrivance tried to pierce Sketchy with the drill but Sketchy jumped over it and ripped the drill off and then proceeded to drill at the robot's foot which made it fall on its side that the fist arm was on making it unable to move the fist. Contrivance fired bullets at Sketchy but Sketchy deflected them by holding the drill on front of him and spinning it. Sketchy then proceeded to run towards the robot holding the drill in front of him and then ramming the drill right through the robot causing it to be destroyed.
Flaming was freed and Contrivance escaped with a mechanical pegasus winged jet pack.
Sketchy woke Mystic up, explained what happened and what they needed to do so then all 3 of them headed off to find the 2 mechanics' base.
TO BE CONTINUED...
Contrivance returns to the base.
"Well that machine failed and now those 3 ponies are headed towards our base...what are we suppose to do?" asked Contrivance as he leaned over a table that Apparatus was sitting at.
"Well I have these blue prints that I've been making for an air ship that can drop robotic bombs." Apparatus explained as he showed Contrivance the blue prints.
"robotic bombs?" Contrivance asked.
"Yes, you see, what they do is when we drop them the explosion causes all animals who are caught in the explosion to be turned into robots and then we can use those robots to put an attack on Pegaphoenix and soon all of the land and gain our rightful place as the greatest mechanics in all of Creatia!" said Apparatus with an evil glare in his eyes. "I already got some of our robots to start building the ship. It's only half complete though. Should we give them a hand?" Apparatus added.
"No. I know something else we can do while we wait for those ponies to arrive..." said Contrivance.
(meanwhile)
"Something tells me we're not too far away from their base..." said Sketchy as he looked around the mechanical fields that they recently entered and saw smoke covered skies and a few construction buildings.
"Really? You sure the fields aren't usually covered in metal like this?" said Flaming Wind sarcastically as he gave Sketchy a look with his eye brow raised.
"I was just saying...anyways, what are you doing, Mystic?" asked Sketchy as he turned to Mystic and saw that her horn was glowing.
"I'm using a sensing spell I learned in the college to sense the electricity beneath the metal to see if there's any large wires that may lead us to the base." explained Mystic as she kinda walked in a swerving motion to follow the electricity that she sensed.
"You know I could just have Flaming Wind fly up and take a look around like he did at the mountains." Sketchy replied.
"Um, in case you haven't noticed, the entire sky is covered in smoke from all these construction building so I won't be able to see anything." Flaming Wind explained as he continued to follow Mystic.
"Oh yeah...well alright then." said Sketchy as he followed along with Flaming and Mystic.
Sketchy and Flaming followed Mystic for quite some time. A couple times they got off track because Mystic's sensing spell sensed a few robots which they had to fight and sometimes the wires lead to a few construction buildings which they destroyed and freed plenty of animals. Eventually they did make it to the actual base and approached the entrance.
"What's the password?" asked the door.
"...Yeah, no. I'm not doing this." said Sketchy who proceeded to punch the door open.
The team sees the 2 mechanics and they both get behind some kind of control panel behind some glass at the other side of the room and clear out the room from the controls as 2 laser canons come out of the walls and ceiling at the end of the room where the control panel is. 2 lasers make an X shape an fly at the 3 ponies, Sketchy jumps to the left, Mystic ducks, and Flaming jumps over the top and lands slightly in front of Mystic and Sketchy. 2 more lasers come by that are just straight lines across the room. Mystic ducks again, Sketchy jumps over one laser and Flaming tosses Sketchy under the second laser as Flaming ducks under it. Mystic is behind Flaming and Sketchy is in front of Flaming. Another laser appears that is just a straight line from the ceiling to the floor. All 3 of them move to either the left or right of the room and then charge towards the control panel as the laser continues to go to the other side of the room. All 3 of them make it to the control panel and there are 3 lasers left. One on the ceiling, one on the left wall, and one on the right wall. Flaming destroys the one on the ceiling with a fire ball, Sketchy punches the one on the left, and Mystic fires a magic beam at the one on the right. All 3 of them give the mechanics a serious look and then break the glass open and jump inside while also tackling the 2 mechanics to the floor. The mechanics impacting the floor causes one of their heads to pop off revealing a spring neck which makes the team realize that these are fakes. Just then they hear a loud boom that came from the room up ahead. They ran across the hall and entered the room to find that an air ship has taken off. The ship was already too high for Mystic or Sketchy to get on it so Flaming just decided to fly after it and take it down on his own.
"Alright, the sky. Finally something I can work with." said Flaming Wind as he proceeded to head to the cock pit.
The air ship wasn't very fast considering how big it was so it wasn't very hard for Flaming Wind to stay on it. Flaming decided to fly through it at first thinking it would be faster but unfortunately some turrets sensed him and shot some paralyzing lasers at him which caused him to fall back on the ship. Fortunately only his wings were paralyzed for a bit so he is still able to run through the ship. As he ran some other turrets fire small missiles at him which Flaming shot some fire balls at but at the wrong time so the missiles exploded right next to Flaming and knocked him back a bit nearly making him fall off the ship but he did manage to get good footing again and proceeded to try and get to the front of the ship. The turrets fired more missiles and this time Flaming dodged them and when he got to the turrets he covered his hooves in fire and punched the turrets causing them to be destroyed. After that Flaming continued running and as he ran along the ship some robots tried to attack him. Some managed to hit him and knock him back again but not too far but yet this still caused Flaming Wind to get pretty mad and started dashing through the ship with streaks of fire beginning to follow behind him. More robots and turrets came up and tried to attack Flaming but Flaming's talent in the flow of fire began to kick in and dashed right through them with the flexibility of fire like how it moves when wind blows on it. Flaming made it to the cock bit and jumped up ready to dive through the glass, the fist rocket came up and pushed Flaming a bit far from the ship. Flaming eventually found that he could move his wings again and got the fist out of his way and saw that he was pretty high in the sky and a bit of distance away from the ship. Flaming was really made at this point and dived towards the ship and as he dived he began to think of all the trouble these 2 mechanics caused with the pegasus and phoenix war, humiliating him with a robot that fire didn't work on, humiliating him again with being captured, fooling him with the fakes, ect. this caused Flaming to become so furious that he turned into one big ball of fire as he dived towards the ship and he was going at such speed that he blasted right through the ship and that caused it to be destroyed.
Sketchy and Mystic saw the explosion from the middle of the field that was past the base and started running towards the light of the fire ball.
Flaming Wind crash landed into the ground but was unharmed and he just sat there and cooled off as he saw the ship slowly turn around and start crashing into the mechanical fields about a few miles away. He then saw Sketchy and Mystic run up to him in concern. They started asking questions like "Are you ok?" and all that and Flaming simply replied.
"Yeah, I'm fine...but I don't think they will be." said Flaming as he smiled and pointed the ship crashing into the mechanical fields which also caused the mechanical fields to be destroyed as well. "Well I think that's enough adventure for one day...shall we continue our travels?" Flaming added with a peaceful smile as he walked off.
Sketchy and Mystic just looked at each other and shrugged about Flaming's peaceful attitude and then proceeded to follow him.
So the mechanics were defeated, all the animals were freed from their robotic prisons, and the team just continued to travel until they came across another problem.
CHAPTER END...
Kidnapping King? - Part 1
During their travels the team came across a village and decided to stay in the inn for a bit. Turns out some ponies there had heard about the whole mechanic fiasco with the animals and all. The bar tender informed the team that there is a king who found some of the animals during that whole thing and took them in to help them but then something odd happened and now rather than the king taking care of the animals he's just holding them hostage in sacks being guarded by weird creatures. After hearing this the team decided to find the king's castle and find out what this is all about and so after they ate and took a rest, they headed off.
"Hey, Sketchy, do you even know where this king's castle is?" asked Flaming Wind as they traveled.
"No idea, but I'm sure if we keep traveling we'll find the animals eventually and they'll help us get to the castle." Sketchy explained.
"That sounds like a good plan. Surely they must know where the castle is considering they were brought there at first."
As the team traveled they eventually came across some odd creatures that tried to attack them, they defeated them as they went along and eventually found a cave. They entered a cave where they found a sack that kept moving around and then suddenly some 2 legged creature made of fire appeared.
"I'll take care of him!" said Flaming Wind who then proceeded to shoot fire balls at the creature which only made it bigger. "OH COME ON! Hasn't that thing heard the phrase 'fight fire with fire'?" Flaming added.
"I don't think it works that way, Flaming..." said Mystic who then just made water appear appear over the creature and caused its flames to go out, making it just a rock which Sketchy proceeded to smash.
"Man, am I ever going to get to do anything?" Flaming said in disappointment.
"What are you talking about? Was destroying an entire air ship not enough for you?" Sketchy snapped back at Flaming.
"Oh yeah, I did do that, didn't I?...Well I was only able to do that because I...got a little heated." Flaming said with a grin.
Sketchy just rolled his eyes as he opened the sack which revealed a big hamster.
"'Ello there, my name is Jerblmy, thanks for savin' me." said Jerblmy (the hamster)
"Who?" asked Sketchy.
"Jerblmy...you know...it's loike Jeremy but mixed with...g-gerbil...anyways, why'd ya save me?" asked Jerblmy.
"We were wondering if you could take us to the king's castle." explained Sketchy Mane.
"The king, eh? You know he was a really noice guy but then one day he just went crazy and carried us all to some random places and stuffed us in sacks...well I don't know where he is but I think one of my other animal friends can help. There's an owl named Hoocoo. I saw the king put him in the farest, I can take you to that farest if you'd loike." explained Jerblmy.
"Yes, that would be very helpful, thank you." said Mystic with a smile.
"Oh roight den. Follow me." said Jerblmy as he left the cave.
So the team followed Jerblmy to the forest and protected them from any evil creatures they came across along the way. After a while they finally made it to the entrance of the forest but were stopped by a tree.
"Halt. Nobody enters this forest as ordered by the king." said the tree with a serious look.
"Aw come on. You gotta let them in. One of my friends is in der and I need these gois to save 'em." pleaded Jerblmy.
"NO. None shall enter. King's orders." said the tree.
"Aw come on man! Just let us in!" complained Flaming.
"Why should I listen to a pony who shows the talent of fire. A forest's worst enemy." said the tree as it gave Flaming an angry look.
"Listen. I know you're trying to do good by listening to the king but you don't understand. Something happened to the king which seemed to have made him not who he was and now he's holding poor animals hostage...do you, a guardian of nature, really want animals to suffer?" asked Mystic with a sad look in her eyes.
The tree started to feel a bit saddened and said "W-...well no..."
"Then could you please let us through so we can help these animals?" asked Mystic.
"....Alright fine. Go ahead." said the tree who proceeded to open a path into the forest.
The team headed into the forest.
"Oh roight. Bye you gois!" said Jerblmy as he waved.
"You're not coming?" asked Sketchy.
"Ay. I knew where forest was but not the owl exactly." replied Jerblmy.
Sketchy just shrugged and then proceeded into the forest.
TO BE CONTINUED...
Kidnapping King? - Part 2
The team was heading through the forest to find Hoocoo and as they went through the forest they had to fight some more creatures and of course when Flaming Wind fought them he was very careful with his attacks to make sure he didn't harm the forest cause he assumed the guardian tree would feel it and well we wouldn't want that. After a while they found some odd path in the forest which lead to another sack with an animal inside but of course they had to take care of this creature first. It was some sort of ninja with razor leaf boomerangs.
(play music while reading)
The ninja threw 2 boomerangs and Mystic caught them with her magic and then threw them back at the ninja but he disappeared and then reappeared behind Sketchy who quickly turned around and tried to punch him but the ninja dodged it and then round house kicked Sketchy into one of the trees and knocks him unconscious. Flaming covered his hooves in fire again and tried to land flaming punches on the ninja but the ninja was just too fast so every attack missed. At one point the ninja disappeared and reappeared somewhere else to avoid one of Flaming's attacks and then started throwing some more razor leaf boomerangs. Flaming dodged most of them and burned some of them. The ones he dodged stuck to the trees surrounding them. One of the boomerangs manages to clip Flaming's wing which causes him to fall to the ground. The ninja then throws 2 more boomerangs but Mystic catches them with her magic and tries to throw it back at the ninja again but of course the ninja dodged it again. Then Flaming starts trying to fight the ninja on foot and Mystic tries to help. While they're fighting, Sketchy regains consciousness and sees that a boomerang got stuck in the tree he was laying against. He takes the boomerang and walks over to the fight. When the ninja reappears somewhere to avoid one of the others' attacks, Sketchy sneaks up behind him and stabs him through the back with the boomerang which kills the ninja.

Sketchy proceeds to free the animal from the sack and it turns out it's Hoocoo.
"Why thank you fellows. I have to ask, why'd you go out of your way to save me?" asked Hoocoo.
"Well we were wondering if you knew where we could find the king's castle." said Sketchy.
"Oh that king. What a nice guy he was but the-" Hoocoo was saying until he was interrupted by Flaming Wind who said "Yeah yeah, we heard it before, can you just take us there already?"
Hoocoo looked at Flaming with an annoyed expression and then proceeded to say "Well I don't remember where it is but I know another animal friend who might. I can fly you there if you'd like."
"You sure you can carry 2 ponies?" asked Sketchy with one eye brow lowered.
"Sure it's no problem at all." said Hoocoo
So Hoocoo grabbed Sketchy by his back and Mystic held onto Hoocoo's back and Hoocoo flew them out of the forest to bring them to the next animal and Flaming just flew alongside them. They were brought to some sort of ocean with islands and such all around and Hoocoo landed them on one of those islands.
"What are we stopping here for?" asked Sketchy.
"Well the animal I mentioned is a fish so he's got to be down in that ocean somewhere." explained Hoocoo.
"THE OCEAN!? UUUUUGH" Flaming complained.
"What's your problem?" asked Sketchy while giving Flaming a weird look.
"Um. HELLO? Fire powers and water DON'T MIX!" Flaming yelled.
"Oh...right...anyways, I don't see how we're going to find him if we're going to have to keep getting up for air" said Sketchy.
"Don't worry. I have a spell that can make us breath under water." said Mystic as she magically made bubbles appear on their heads. "See?" she added.
"Well good luck with that. I'll be off now." said Hoocoo as he flew away.
So the team dived into the water to look for the next animal.

Kidnapping King? - Part 3
The team swam through the water trying to find the next animal and since they were under water it was kinda hard for them to use their powers. Sketchy couldn't punch or kick very fast so they're not as strong, Flaming couldn't use fire powers, and Mystic's spells just wouldn't work out well under water. So they had to do the best they could with regular physical fighting moves to fight the creatures under the water as they try to find the animal.
After fighting through some creatures they eventually found this cave under the water and headed inside and inside there was air so they could use their powers now.
They found another sack inside this cave that the next animal must be in but first they had to fight the creature guarding it. This creature was a big jelly fish but could actually shoot electric rather than just touch you with it.
(listen to while reading)
The jelly fish shot 2 lightning bolts at Flaming and Mystic but they jumped out of the way as Sketchy proceeded to jump at the jelly fish and attempt to slam his hoof on him but just then the jelly fish covered itself in electric which electrocuted Sketchy as he landed on the jelly fish but didn't land the punch. Just then, Flaming Wind shot 2 fire balls at the jelly fish which caught its attention. The jelly fish then shot a lightning bolt at Flaming but Flaming avoided it by jumping into the air and then proceeded to fire spin into the jelly fish, the jelly fish then covered itself in electric again but Mystic hit it with a magic beam which caused the electricity around it to go away just as Flaming landed on the jelly fish and destroyed it.
(stop the music)
Flaming and Mystic helped Sketchy get up and then Sketchy proceeded to open the sack which revealed a fish.
"Hello, my name is Chim Chup" said the Chim Chup (the fish)
"Um...shouldn't it be Chum Chip?" asked Sketchy.
"Hey, I didn't pick the name. Anyways, watcha save me for?" said Chim Chup.
"We were wondering if you could take us to the king's castle." said Sketchy.
"But let me guess. You don't know where it is and we need to find ANOTHER animal, RIGHT?!" asked Flaming Wind in annoyance.
"Um...no. I actually do know where it is." said Chim Chup
"OH FINALLY! We can get this stupid job done already." said Flaming
"Could you take us there?" asked Mystic.
"Sure, but you'll have to hold onto me because the path to the castle has some rough currents and only I can swim through them." explained Chim Chup.
So Sketchy grabbed onto the back of Chim Chup, Flaming grabbed onto Sketchy, and Mystic grabbed onto Flaming and then Chim Chup jumped into the water. Chim Chup swam them into this tunnel that lead to the moat at the entrance of the king's castle. They were brought up above the water in the moat next to the bridge. Chim Chup flung the team onto the surface and told them good bye, wished them good luck, and swam off as the team proceeded to head inside the castle.
