As the group was walking through the forest, the passed over a hill to find a giant lake with thousands of different animals walking/flying around.

"Wow" said Rainbow

"I never thought that something as beautiful as this was a real place." said Rarity

"Enjoying the view?" said a voice behind them.

They all turned and saw two ants 2 times their size, 4 wasps 10 times their size, and a spider butterfly hybrid 50 times their size.

"Don't be alarmed. I was watching you since you entered this forest. I only have to ask you three things."

"Um, OK. What do you need to know?"

"Who are you?"

"I'm Princess Twilight Sparkle and these are my friends, Applejack and her sister, Apple bloom, Rarity and her sister, Sweetie belle, Rainbow dash and her sister Scootaloo, Fluttershy, Pinkie pie, Starlight, Trixie, and my little brother, Spike."

"Where is your homeland?" asked the Spiderfly

"We all come from the kingdom of Equestria. Our home is a small village called Ponyville."

"What have you come to this forest seeking?"

"We are going on a journey across Equus to discover what lies outside of the borders of Equestria's neighboring kingdoms. We have no intentions of stealing anything."

"Well then, my name is Queen Tarantula, and this is the Forest of giants. Anycreature who drinks from the 5 streams gain the permanent ability to change their size. Now, allow me to show you the castle."

The group followed Queen Tarantula back to her castle. When they got to the throne room of the castle, there were thousands of spiderfly eggs everywhere. (Spiderflies don't gain the size change ability from birth.) They were about to hatch from the eggs.

"Oh, my." said Fluttershy, "That's a lot of spiderfly eggs."

"Yes." said Tarantula, "Spiderflies, like all creatures, aren't born with the size changing ability. They have to drink the water of the forest first."

"I really wish that I could have one, but Queen Tarantula would never let me take one." Said Fluttershy quietly. She didn't realize that Tarantula had heard her and was going to give her one of the eggs.

Soon, the group had to leave to continue their journey. They had a blast hanging out with the creatures in the forest, but it was getting late.

"It was fun exploring the forest, Queen Tarantula, but we have to go." said Twilight

"Oh, but it's so late." Said Queen Tarantula, "If you want, I will have one of the rooms in the castle prepared for you and you friends."

"That does sound good, and it is late. Alright Queen Tarantula, we'll stay overnight."

"I'll have my servants prepare the second best room in the castle. Tomorrow, I have gifts to give to all your friends."

While Queen Tarantula was preparing the room for the group, Twilight informed her friends that they were staying overnight in the forest. 15 minutes later, the room was ready and the adventurers went back to the castle to go bed for the night.

The next morning, Queen Tarantula was saying farewell to the adventurers and was about to give them the gifts she promised.

"It was nice having guests." said Queen Tarantula, "Before you go, I have gifts to give to you for your journey."

She reached into a bag that one of the caterpillars had on it's back.

"To Rainbow dash, I give the rainbow wing blades. These will help you fly 3 times faster than their fastest speed."

"To Applejack, I give rainbow boots of strength. These boots will make you 45 times stronger than the strongest creature on the planet."

"To Pinkie pie, I give the rainbow invisibility mask. This will help with sneaking through dangerous places on Equus."

"To Rarity, I give the rainbow jewel of protection. It will fuse with your body and create unbreakable rainbow forcefields around you and your friends, separated or together."

"To Starlight, I give the rainbow magic enhancer. This will make your magic 200 times stronger."

"To Trixie, I give the rainbow bombs of destruction. One bomb will create any disaster you think of to unleash on your enemies. They also reproduce after exploding."

"To Apple bloom, I give the endless supply of growth fruit in the rainbow bottomless bag. These will give whoever eats one the same power you got after drinking the stream."

"To Sweetie belle, I give the rainbow horn. This will fuse with your horn and will shoot rainbow beams from it."

"To Scootaloo, I give the wing growth serum. This will make your wings grow even larger than the largest dragon and make your wings turn rainbow

"To Princess Twilight, I give the rainbow Crown of illusion. This will create an illusion from nothing."

"To Spike, I give the rainbow phoenix gem. Eat it, and you will be able to create phoenixes from rainbow fire

"And to Fluttershy, I give a spiderfly egg."

"And for all of you, I give several sets of indestructible rainbow armor. Each has a custom design for who it's for. Now good luck on your adventure, ERW."

"Goodbye Queen Tarantula. Thank you for all the gifts, we will be sure to return."

When the Rainbow Warriors reached the edge of the forest, they found themselves on a large cliff overlooking a ocean. Above the ocean was a giant floating city

Twilight used her illusion powers to create a large sign in the sky letting whoever was on that city that they wanted to come on.

Meanwhile, in the outskirts of the city, three guards were looking out at the sky for any airships approaching the city. One was a griffon, one was a pegasus, and the third was a changeling. They were looking when the sign appeared above the cliff in front of them.

"Do you see that?" Asked the griffon.

"Yeah" said the changeling and the pegasus together. "We should go check it out."

When the Warriors saw the three flying towards them, they put on their armor and got out their weapons. They didn't know if the creatures flying towards them were hostile or not, specifically the changeling.

The creatures saw their rainbow armor shining in the sunlight and landed on the cliff they were on.

"Who are you?" Asked the changeling

"We are the Rainbow Warriors from Equestria. I'm Princess Twilight Sparkle, and these are my friends. We were hoping that you could give us a ride up to your city and show us around."

"Of course Princess Twilight." Said the changeling. The Warriors flinched when he spoke.

"Apologies, um."

"Oh, Sky Shifter." said Sky Shifter.

"Sky Shifter. I apologize for our weird behavior. We don't really have a very good history with changelings that look like you."

Sky Shifter looked at his black holey legs and pale wings before looking back at them. "What exactly did the changelings do that made you not have a good history with them? If you don't mind me asking."

"No worries." Said Twilight, "Anyway, the changelings tried to take over our home kingdom twice, captured my friends and I rulers of Equestria and the Crystal Empire once, but most were turned good, then the former queen of the changelings, Chrysalis, teamed up with two other villains to take over Equestria again."

"That does sound terrible. But I'm not like those other changelings, and none of the changelings living here are either."

"That's good. Anyway, back to getting up to the floating city." Said Twilight

"Of course. I'll call a transport, seeing that not all of you can fly." Said Sky Shifter

Sky Shifter called the transport and it arrived minutes later. The Rainbow Warriors boarded the transport to be taken up to the city, which was called Skytopia.

When the Warriors left the transport, there were griffons waiting to greet them at the gate to the city. The griffons welcomed them to Skytopia. There was also a pegasus tour guide that gave tours of Skytopia. Twilight and her friends paid for the tour and were shown the layout of Skytopia.

The last thing they saw was the main building in the city. It was a mayor's office the size of a mansion. The mayor was informed of the guests in Skytopia and came out to greet the Warriors.

"Welcome to Skytopia." Said the mayor, who was a pegasus. "I hope you enjoy your time here in our city."

"Thank you. But we shouldn't stay too long."

"And why is that?" He asked

"We are currently exploring Equus and bringing information about the places we visit back to Equestria. Allow me to introduce myself, I'm Princess Twilight Sparkle and these are my friends. Together, we're the Rainbow Warriors."

"Oh" Said the mayor, "At least let us make you a airship to use for your journey. I insist."

"Perfect. This will make the journey a lot easier."

"Great. Now, what will the design for the airship be?"

"The airship should be rainbow colored with all our cutie marks inside a large rainbow circle on the mast. It should have 10 cannons on each side and a mechanism to shoot fire from the front, which will look like a dragon's head. The dragon's head will be gold with fiery colored spikes. It will also have a green and blue wheel to steer the airship. It will be 45 feet long, 35 feet wide, and have 4 floors with 15 rooms on each floor. It will also have a anchor shaped like a large diamond and a fold-up ramp for when we land the airship"

"We'll get started on the airship while you check out Skytopia, and I'll alert you when it's ready."

"Thank you for this." Replied Twilight.

A few hours later, the airship was ready and the Warriors were boarding their airship, which was named The Rainbow Jewel.

"Goodbye everycreature." Said Twilight. "We will return again. Rainbow, untie the mast."

Rainbow Dash flew up and untied the mast, letting it drop. Then she tied it to the two poles on each side of it.

The Rainbow Jewel took off from Skytopia, Spike at the wheel steering the airship. Before long, the Rainbow Jewel was soaring through the clouds

Now I gave the group weapons, armor, an airship, and a new group name
