My Little Total Drama

Meanwhile on board the blimp, Twilight was struggling to break out of her cage, but her magic was being repelled by the bars. Tempest walked over and spoke mockingly, "Aww, the "Princess of Friendship". With no friends! And no way out." she chuckled.

"Why are you doing this?" Twilight asked in confusion, "You're a pony just like me."

Tempest angrily put her hoofs to the bars with her magic sparking, "I'm nothing like you! I'm more than you'll ever be!" Tempest started circling the cage and decided to give Twilight her own taste of reality through song.

TEMPEST: It's time you learned a lesson

It's time that you understand

Don't ever count on anybody else

In this or any other land

I once hoped for friendship

To find a place among my kind

But those were the childish wishes

Of someone who was blind

Open up your eyes

See the world from where I stand

Me, among the mighty

You, caged at my command

Open up your eyes

Give up your sweet fantasy land

It's time to grow up and get wise

Come now, little one, open up your eyes

Tempest started flashing back to long ago when she was a filly with a regular horn. She was playing ball with two of her friends happily. Suddenly their ball rolled into a dark cave, and Tempest's two friends chickened out and selected her to go retrieve it. She crossed paths with an Ursa Minor inside the cave and it looked angry. Tempest tried to use her magic to defend herself, but the Ursa Minor swatted at her with its paw which was strong enough to break off the filly's horn.

We all start out the same

With simple naive trust

Shielded from the many ways

That life's not fair or just

But then there comes a moment

A simple truth that you must face

If you depend on others

You'll never find your place

Afterward, Tempest with a broken horn tried to play with her friends like before, but with her broken horn her sparking magic started scaring her friends, who ran from her and made a new friend to replace her. Filly Tempest watched in sadness and betrayal as she walked sadly away.

And as you take that first step

Upon a path that's all your own

You see it all so clearly

The best way to survive is all alone

Filly Tempest's sadness was replaced with anger as she started galloping away and left home, and since then vowed to not trust anypony or get too attached to anyone ever again. It cut back to present time, as Tempest continued to sing to Twilight.

Open up your eyes

See the world from where I stand

Me, among the mighty

You, caged at my command

Open up your eyes

And behold the faded light

It's time to grow up and get wise

Come now, little one, open up your eyes

Open up your eyes!

Tempest pulled a lever, as Twilight's cage was hoisted up to the deck of the blimp, where Tempest arrived. Twilight after listening to what she sang about realized what led her down this dark path, "I'm so sorry you felt so alone.

Tempest spoke bitterly, "I saw the truth. My 'friends' abandoned me when times got tough. Looks like I'm not the only one. Face it, Princess. Friendship has failed you, too."

Twilight sighed, "Friendship didn't fail me. I failed friendship."

Back on the beach, the rest of the ponies and humans were sitting around dismay over their failure, and Twilight snapping.

Fluttershy was the first to speak, "This whole journey was such a mistake. All we wanted was somepony to help us."

“Ya think it’s time we go talk to Twilight?” Applejack asked.

“After what she did to Cody, no way, she needs to think about what she did.” Courtney lectured.

Scott began speaking “Courtney are we really gonna stay mad at Twilight forever she clearly regretted her actions and hey I’ve done worse than she did, In Revenge Of the Island, I threw challenges, got people eliminated, framed Dawn for theft and B for sabotage but after a while behind the scenes I was forgiven, and hey we forgave you despite what you pulled in All Stars, what Twilight did wasn’t too bad are we gonna let one mishap drive us apart? Cody forgave her so we can too.”

Courtney thought back at all the good things Twilight did for them and sighed “Well Scott you’re right I guess we can forgive her but she has to come to us before we give her forgiveness.”

“She’s been taken.” Spike shouted.

Everyone gasped.

“Twilight’s in trouble the Storm Guards captured her.” Cody explained.

"We've gotta get her back!" Zoey said in worry.

"How? We'll never catch up!" Fluttershy panicked.

"And we got no way to defeat those monsters." Applejack added.

"Even with our quantity, the Storm King and Tempest will be prepared." Gwen put in, as everyone sighed feeling hopeless.

"Well, it's a good thing I happen to know of a group of mighty heroes that could handle this easily!" Came a familiar sly voice. Standing atop a rock was Capper who miraculously survived the sinking airship.

Rarity walked up looking less thrilled, "Well, look what the cat dragged in? Himself!"

Capper began explaining

"These heroes have faced the Storm King's army and escaped! I've seen them tackle the streets of the roughest towns, break out of the tightest situations, and inspire others to join their cause!"

The group gasped in amaze, until Applejack spoke, "Now don't get too excited. He's just talkin' about us."

"Obviously." Noah agreed, as the group sighed.

Capper continued, "They even escaped certain doom at the hooves of Commander Tempest!"

Gwen spoke recalling it, "Yeah. We did do that."

Rainbow smiled, "And that was pretty great."

Suddenly another familiar voice called out, "Are you kidding me?! That was awesome!"

They looked up seeing Captain Celaeno and her whole crew, "You're alive?" Owen gasped.

"We thought you were goners." Mike said in relief.

"You can't bring us down so easily." the Captain answered.

"Figured you could use a claw!" Boyle offered.

"We're on board to help you fight the Storm King! Just not on board our... actual ship." The Captain added.

Mullet spoke, "That crazy unicorn sunk it. But you got back our argh! And we're ready to kick some booty." the pirates have a heartily laugh.

Suddenly they saw the water bubble, and flying out from it was a creature glowing. It died down to reveal a creature half bird and pony, "Whoa!" Spike gasped.

"Hellooooooo! Me again!" Skystar giggled, "I'm gonna get so grounded, but I talked things over with Shelly and Sheldon and they pointed out that you were just trying to help your friends. So I wanna help too," she flew over to the group, "'Cause ya know... one small thing..." she whispered to them, "Can make a really big difference!"

Spike looked around, "That's it, right? We didn't make friends with anypony else?"

Cody giggles “Nope that’s about it.”

“All right, y'all! I think our course is clear. Y'all ready to do this thang?" Capper asked the group.

“Yeah woo-hoo.” Owen cheered.

“Let’s do this.” Scott said motivated.

"We're coming, Twilight! As soon as we bake up a plan!" Pinkie called
