Flying above the clouds, a giant purple dragon beat his massive wings as his head hug low looking at the land. He was searching or rather using his hunting instincts to aid in hi search. On his back six ponies sat they were in deep conversation with each other, even though they were high up and the wind should cause a hamper for them to even keep their eyes open they sat as if they were in a small tea house.
Spike chuckled to himself as he thought of a prank, as they reached the ocean, Spike waited till they were over the very deep parts. He lifted his head and turned to the ponies still in conversation. With sudden speed he spun on his back and managed to grab all six ponies, they screamed in terror as Spike nosed dived towards the water.

With a large splash they were all submerged, as their heads popped up one by one they six ponies gasped for air as spike laughed hysterically.

“Spike!” Twilight exclaimed hitting the water with a hoof

“What,” Spike gave a toothy smile “it’s not my fault.”

“Then, whose fault is it?” asked Rarity

Spike’s smile grew “We were supposed to be looking for this pony” explained the purple dragon “but you guys are just talking on my back, a little more and Fluttershy would’ve had tea laid out.”

“I-I wouldn’t have laid out tea….unless somepony wanted tea.” Fluttershy said shrinking away

“Spike’s right, we should be helping,” Apple Jack added “we’ve just been so busy with our duties and all that we got caught up in the conversation Spike.”

“Speak for yourselves, I was paying attention the whole time.” Rainbow Dash said hitting hoof to chest “I’m awesome enough to do the two.”

Spike pulled Rainbow Dash under the water at her remark making all the other ponies giggle. Just then the sound of a blaring ship horn pierced the sky snapping everyone in its direction.

“That’s a distress signal.” Apple Jack stated her body rose out the water and stood on the waves, narrowing her eyes she scanned the area “There!”

In a flash Spike was out the water, Twilight was right beside him, even though she was smaller than him she kept up with his pace without any effort. Around them the orbs of their friends kept pace as well.
Soon they came upon the sight, a giant sea serpent was attacking a cruise ship, the horn blared off again as the serpent attacked the ship continuously. The unicorns of the ship had placed a shield around it but it would only hold for so long.

“Flutter Shy, Rarity Apple Jack, you ponies tend to the hurt ponies.” Twilight commanded “Spike, Rainbow and I will see about the threat,

“Yes.” Everypony agreed before nose diving into danger

Emerald looked at the sea serpent as it trashed against the invisible force field the unicorn staff members were creating. She saw the sweat and the strain holding the force field placed on them, her anger slowly rose. The gem against her chest pulsed in a rhythmic fashion. She stepped forward, A earth pony grabbed onto her tail in an attempt to pull her back but with a small flick of her tail the mare was free.

“Emerald, what’s going on?” Lizz asked in a shaky voice “why is every pony panicking?”

Emerald stopped she had forgotten about Lizz, turning back Emerald looked to a elderly couple and walked over to them, the pulsing in her chest grew, she felt the roars of the dragons within the gem, it shook her body making her drop to her knees. Emerald got up and stood in front the couple.

“Can I ask you a favour?” she asked through laboured breaths

“What is it?” the mare said, her voice was gentle and soothing

“Please look after her,” Emerald pointed to Lizz “I’ll be back soon.”

The mare nodded as Emerald turned to Lizz and pulled the young mare in, she placed their foreheads together.

“I’m coming back in a bit.” Emerald said “Stay with these ponies till I return.”

“Where are you going?” Lizz asked wrapping her hoof around Emerald

“Just to blow off some steam.” Smiled the mare, she released the pony and led her to the elderly couple “I’ll be back.”

Emerald turned and trotted out onto the deck, the shouts of the ponies calling her to return fell on deaf ears. They needed to fight… No, she needed to fight; she felt it down to her bones, the feeling of danger; the thirst for the battle. The trashing sea serpent was her pray. Emerald threw her head back as a roar escaped her lips, the ponies behind her shrank at the ungodly sound that escaped her lips. The unicorns holding the force field together lost concentration shattering their only line of defence.
The serpent seeing its way in aimed for another attack, it attempted to slam its body on to the deck of the boat but another roar from the skies made it spin around. From above a purple dragon and Alicorn pummelled down, around them five glowing orbs came at full speed. Emerald looked at the figures coming at them and roared once again, she hunched down and jumped with all the power she could muster. The cruise ship rocked as Emerald left its deck, around her fire began to dance with natural yell this time the unicorn hoofed the serpent in its jaw. Using the levitation magic Emerald roared again at the flames.

From above the purple dragon grabbed the serpent before Emerald could attack again and managed to throw it into the sky as the Alicorn and the blue orb that exploded to reveal a blue Pegasus each attack the serpent as well with magic and melee attacks. The other three orbs Emerald saw floated around the cruise ship forming a magical barrier.

Emerald roared catching the attention of the purple alicron who watched her wide eyed, the fire danced around her body as the intense heat it emitted managed to boil the water she levitated over.

“Get away from my prey!” Emerald shouted to the purple dragon that wrestled with the serpent, fire began to leak from her mouth as a flaming ball began to form “GET AWAY!”

The ball was sent flying towards the purple dragon, wide eyed the dragon could do nothing but take the impact of the attack. He released the serpent allowing the creature to get away by diving under water. Emerald began to form another ball again but a orb was suddenly around her.

“Calm down pony.” A thunderous voice echoed “we are not your enemies.”

The feral Emerald turned to the source of the voice, the purple alicorn, next to her the blue Pegasus flew behind her protectively.. the dragon recovered quickly and came to the side of the alicorn.

“My name is Princess Twilight Sparkle my little pony” said the alicorn “what is your name?”

“You’re a princess?” Emerald asked tilting her head, her breathing was laboured and fire still ran over her body “Then you’re the one we’ve been looking for.”

Twilight said nothing as she lowered them to the cruise ship “You were looking for me.” Twilight said once they were safely on board, immediately the crew and members of the patrons all rushed out and encircled them, they all wore large smiles on their faces and bowed to them, Twilight smiled to them “Thank you all, please arise.”

The ship captain trotted over to them, he wore a huge smile on his face as he bowed before them “Princess, thank you for your aid with the sea serpent.” Captain Shores said

“Captain,” Twilight said “is there any place me and my friend can talk?”
“Yes, my office.” The captain raised his head and led the way into the ship

“Please follow us.” Twilight said to Emerald walking through the crowded, everypony looked at Emerald with fear their eyes stole quick glances of her before looking away agai. Before anything Emerald walked to the two elder ponies that were still with Lizz.

“Thank you for taking care of he” she said

“It was our pleasure” the mare replied with a kind smile “now, don’t let all that anger go unchecked you can seriously hurt somepony.”

“Yes ma’am” Emerald replied, Lizz extended awing and rested it on Emeralds back before they entered the captains office where the alicorn along with five other ponies awaited, a large dragons eye looked on through the window

“Now, shall we begin?” asked the alicorn
