Twilight Sparkle confronted the four Sea Ponies, Rhapsody standing right in front of her with a twisted grin that wasn't her own.

“I don't know why you did this, but you can be sure I'll stop you.”

Twilight growled fueled by anger.

“Even if you kill me.”

At that statement the corrupted sea ponies burst into a fit of laughter.

“Oh. We aren't going to kill you.”

“Then what?”

Retorted the Alicorn.

“We are going to make you like us.”

Twilight Sparkle growled shooting a blast of magic at one of the creatures, throwing it back against a wall. The other three galloped at her, they charged her down and threw her against the ground pinning her down, struggling against their weight. The Princess summoned her magic to teleport herself out of their grasp and galloped toward the hatch room in an effort to draw them away from her friends. Her eyes widened and she fell to a halt to find the hatch blown wide open an four more sea ponies blocking her path. 'How are they so strong?' She wondered. The seaponies suddenly ran her down, each one corralling her toward the water, each spell she cast was interrupted by relentless attacks or accounted for as each of them operated almost like they had a hive mind. If her friends were with her she'd have more hope perhaps... But it wasn't long until she fell into the water where the sea ponies had their advantage. Twilight swam for the surface, she had conjured a bubble with her magic to give her air, but there wasn't much. Each of the ponies started grabbing hold of her, suffocating her ability to get to the surface of the ocean. She teleported up and was dragged down again, she teleported up and was dragged down again. Eventually she was exhausted from the drain of her magic and as she sank she saw the sunlight sinking away into a coat of inky black ocean.

Rainbowdash placed her hoof on Fluttershy's back, attempting to console her.

“I know it's not the time Fluttershy but we need to go”

Rainbowdash spoke to her friend.

“Rarity saved you, you can't waste that.”

Fluttershy turned her tearful face to the blue pony and nodded while letting out a sob while she nodded to her friend.

“Alright Chocmint time for a ride!”

The stallion looked like he didn't want to get involved but before he could complain he was lifted up the elevator shaft by both Rainbowdash and the sobbing Fluttershy. As the elevated there was no talking, no speeches of thinking on the bright side. Nothing. That silence didn't last long however as a rustling sound above them broke them out of a trance. The Sea Pony that had killed Pinkie pie and Rarity leered in the shaft just above them with a broken bone for a weapon.

“How are we going to get past that?!”

Yelled Chocmint in horror, not desiring to be dropped when it came to blows. They hovered there in worry before suddenly two orange hooves bucked the creature straight in the face, crushing it's skull against the wall behind the elevator shaft.

“COME ON EVERY PONY! Let's get you outta there!”

A familiar voice announced.

“APPLE JACK!”

All three shouted in relief, their friend was alive.

After explaining everything that had happened between each other, the group wandered down the beach.

“I enlisted a few of our friends to help us with this problem.. if we're lucky Twilight can be still saved yet.”

Applejack stated gesturing to the three princesses and their royal royal guards.

Somewhere in the dark Twilight was alone and frightened.

This is my first story and as such I know it isn't perfect. I would love to hear what I did right and what I could improve upon. I would prefer constructive over toxic however!
