Daring Do: And the Divine Crown of the End

Diamond and Daring Do turns and sees a sea pony on a throne and 2 sea pony guards pointing spears at Diamond and Daring Do.

“Y-You must be the sea pony that still lives here.” said Daring Do as she points at her.

“Yes.. I am. I’m Princess Mythical, the princess of this hidden temple, also the guardian of the crown. And who are you two, and why are you trying to take the crown?” asked Princess Mythical.

“Im Daring Do, I go on quest to find hidden things and take it to the museum, your majesty.” Daring Do introduces herself as she bows.

“And I’m Diamond-Chi, your highness.” Diamond introduces herself and bows as well.

“Wait.. you mean the Diamond-Chi? The know who’s known as the ‘Princess of Tai-Chi’?”asked Princess Mythical.

“The one and only.. Wait.. you actually know me?” asked Diamond.

“Yeah. Of course I do.” said Princess Mythical.

Diamond tries to swim to Mythical but the guards stopped her.

“Let them go, it’s ok.” said Mythical.

The guards looks at each other then moves the spears from in front of her, and Diamond swims to Mythical.

“How did you heard about me?”asked Diamond.

“My aunt, the queen of the hippogriffs, heard about you from your friend, Twilight Sparkle, she told me how amazing you are protecting Equestria.” said Princess Mythical.

“That explains it.” said Diamond.

“So what are you and your friend doing here?” Princess Mythical asked.

“We come for the crown, it’s an emergency.” said Diamond.

“Like protecting emergency, or something?” Princess Mythical asked.

“Yes.” said Diamond

“Caballeron is after the crown and wants it for himself.” said Daring Do. “Plus, how did you and the guards become… like that?” she asked.

“First let me ask you this, how could you two ponies breath underwater, this temple is magic proof?” Princess Mythical asked.

“We used these pills *shows her the pills* that allows us to breath and talk underwater.” Diamond explains.

“Wow.” said Princess Mythical a little shockingly. “Hmm.. well.. I guess we can show ya, since we haven’t seen anypony visiting here in a long time.” said Princess Mythical as she gets out the magic pearl that the queen gave her while she’s away.

She uses the pearl and the magic starts going on Daring Do and Diamond turning them into sea ponies like them. Daring Do was shocked in amazingly kind of way, and Diamond was laughing in excitement.

“Woo!” said Diamond excitedly.

“This is amazing. I've never been a sea pony before.” said Daring Do excitedly.

“Not me either, when you swim, it feels like your actually flying but in underwater.” said Diamond.

“Really?” Daring Do asked as she tries swimming, and was way faster than flying in the sky. “Wow, that’s so cool!”

“I know, right?” Diamond asked.

“The only problem is I don’t have any friends other than my guards here, it’s very lonely here.” said Princess Mythical.

“I wish we can stay here, but we can’t, we need to have the crown, and get going, before Caballeron gets it.” said Daring Do.

“Oh… sure… yeah ok, I just need a few minutes, then I’ll change you back so you can get back.” said Princess Mythical upsetly and swims off to be alone.

“*sighs* The princess has been lonely for years, and it’s been awhile since she had guests.” said Storm Wing.

“I know you two have to get the crown and go, but she’s really upset and we couldn’t get her to cheer up, couldn’t you two stay for a little longer?” asked Hurricane Talon.

Daring Do then started to have an idea.

“Listen, we can’t stay-” said Diamond before she was interrupted by Diamond.

“Oh no, no-no, that guard is right.” said Daring Do.

“What?” asked Storm Wing confusingly.

“Huh?” asked Diamond.

“Yes she’s upset right now, and the sign did say that we have to sing the right tune in order to cheer up, and we still need a plan to get out of here, since the entrance has been blocked, a few more minutes wouldn’t make a big difference.” said Daring Do as she swam with Diamond a little bit. “And Diamond, you told me when we first met, if there was one thing you hate, is seeing any of your friends upset, even new ones, right?”

“Yeah?” said Diamond as she’s listening to Daring Do.

“You like cheering up ponies almost as Pinkie, and if there’s anypony that can show a time of her life other than Pinkie, is you, Diamond.” said Daring Do as she pokes her chest.

“Well… that is true.” said Diamond with a little blush.

“So come on, let’s show her the best time of her life.” said Daring Do.

“One question, can you sing?” asked Diamond.

“To be honest… I haven’t sung in a long time, since I was a filly.” said Daring Do.

“Can I hear your singing, Daring Do?” Diamond asked.

“Promise me you won’t tell anypony?” Daring Do asked.

Diamond nods yes.

“I pinkie promise, cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye.” said Diamond as she does her pinkie promise moves.

“You got it from Pinkie, did you?” Daring Do asked.

“Yes, it means to never break a promise, no matter what.” Diamond explains.

“I see. *takes a deep breath and lets it out* Ok.” said Daring Do as she’s about to sing.

Daring Do starts singing a part of the song of an Indiana Jones theme, her singing was so beautiful and it Diamond and the Sea guards in a shock.

“Well?” Daring Do asked.

“D-Daring… your… your singing voice is amazing. That’s something i’m never gonna forget.” said Diamond a little excitedly.

The Sea Guards giggled.

“Not us either, it’s amazing.” said Hurricane Talon.

“Heh, thanks.” said Daring Do while scratching the back of her head.

“This actually can cheer her up, but i’m gonna need your help.” said Diamond as she places her arm around Daring Do.

“What do I have to do?” Daring Do asked.

“You mean what you and the guards can do.” said Diamond as she makes a sign to tell them to come here.

The guards goes to them.

“Ok here’s what we can do.” said Diamond as she tells them to gather round.

They gathered, and Diamond whispers to them what to do. The scene switches to Princess Mythical and she was sitting on a rock, about to cry.

“I-It’s probably for the best.” said Princess Mythical as her voice started to crack.

As soon as she’s about to cry, Diamond makes Mythical look at her. And she starts singing “One Small Thing” with Daring Do and the guards while swim-dancing. After the song, the princess got real excited.

“Woo!” said Princess Mythical as she starts laughing.

Diamond and the guards started laughing with her.

“Yes!” said Diamond and Daring Do as they hoof-bump.

“Thanks, Diamond, I really needed that laugh.” said Princess Mythical thankfully as she smiled.

“It’s our pleasure, your highness.” said Daring Do as she bows with Diamond.

“Soo… if it’s not a problem, is it ok if we have the crown now?” Diamond asked.

“You did sing in the right tune, so yes, as you please.” said Princess Mythical as she points at the locked away crown.

The laser cage disappeared, and the crown started floating. Diamond grabs it.

“Thank you so much, your highness.” said Diamond thankfully.

“It’s my pleasure, a deal is a deal.” said Princess Mythical.

“Can I ask you something, before we go?” asked Diamond.

“Absolutely.” said Princess Mythical.

“Is there another way out of this temple? The giant boulder is blocking the way out.” asked Diamond.

“Hmm… well there is another way out. Guards, show them the other way out, once you get there use this pearl to change them back to normal.” said Princess Mythical as she gives them the pearl.

“Yes, your highness.” said Storm Wing.

“Follow us.” said Hurricane Talon as they both swam to another way out.

“Wait! Before you go.” said Princess Mythical as she swam to Diamond and Daring Do. She takes out the changing necklaces and gives it to them. “Take these necklaces, as a thank you, it allows you to change to a sea pony anytime you like.” she explains.

“Thanks, Princess.” said Diamond.

“No problem, good luck on your journey back, and thanks again.” said Princess Mythical as she swam to her throne.

“Thanks, nice meeting you.” said Daring Do as she and Diamond swam to catch up with the guards.

“You too Daring Do.” said Princess Mythical a she sat down and happily sighs. “Such nice ponies.”

The scene switches to a secret underwater tunnel where the guards, Diamond, and Daring Do are swimming in. Diamond couldn’t help but think about Princess Mythical and Daring Do looks at Diamond.

“You ok, Diamond?” Daring Do asked.

“Hmm? Oh yeah i’m fine, I just can’t stop thinking about Princess Mythical. She shouldn’t be down here all alone, she should come up to the surface and explore.” said Diamond.

“Maybe she will, someday. These things take time.” said Daring Do.

“Ok, here’s the way out.” said Storm Wing as he points up.

Diamond and Daring Do looks up and sees the way out by the light, not far to get up to the surface.

“Uhh, Diamond, is the pills gonna wear off once we return to normal?” Daring Do asked.

“I’m afraid so.” said Diamond. “Once we switched back, we’re gonna need to hold our breaths and hurry up to the surface.”

“Ok.” said Daring Do.

“Whenever your ready, sir.” said Diamond.

The guards looks at each other and nods, they use the pearl to change them back to regular ponies, as their turning back to regular ponies, they started holding their breaths. As soon as Diamond and Daring Do got turned back, to regular ponies, they quickly swam up to the surface. They both gasp for air, and got on land. The guards got up to the surface, and got to them.

“Follow that path down there, and when you see the 2 paths, make sure you take the right path, then you take a left path, and you should be out of the temple in no time.” said Hurricane Talon.

“Thank you, sir.” said Daring Do.

“It was really nice meeting you two.” said Diamond as she waves to them bye.

“You too, Daring Do, and the Princess of Tai-Chi.” said Hurricane Talon as the guards bow and goes back to the underwater kingdom.

“Ok, Diamond, let’s get out of here.” said Daring Do as she runs to the exit.

“Right behind you.” said Diamond as she ran with her.
