My Little Pony: The Power of Ten

In the magical land of Equestria, there are four powerful Princesses. One for the day. One for the night. One for family and then there’s me, Princess Twilight Sparkle, the Princess of Friendship. It is my royal duty to make sure everyone in Equestria feels like they belong. It’s a lot of live up to. I mean, Princess? Luckily I have amazing friends who are there for me no matter what. I know with my friends by my side, I can be the Princess everyone wants me to be. But some things you just can’t prepare for.

Now on with the main movie plot!

Twilight’s POV

I was in the halls of the Canterlot Palace, being calm. “Ooommm… Oooommm… My goodness! I can’t handle this!” I stated in a panicked tone. “Alright, alright.. Get it together. Just go in there and ask. This is your Friendship Festival. Everyone’s happiness rest in your hands.” … Yeah that pep talk to myself did not do anything to help me. “Ooooh.” I groaned. The door opened and out came Spike, my dragon assistant. “Alright, Twilight, I have all your charts and graphs.”

“Oh thank goodness, you’re here Spike. I’m just so nervous about this meeting.” I said.

“What are you talking about?” Spike asked.

“I’m about to ask the most royal ponies in Equestria a huge favor. What if they reject me?” I asked.

“I’ll be fine. Just remember the most important thing.”

“... Smile?” I suggested, giving him and large a somewhat creepy smile. “Uh..no.” he said. “You’re a Princess too.”

“...Right!” I said. I took a deep breath and pushed opened the doors to the throne room, seeing the three Princesses. Princess Celestia, Princess Luna and Princess Cadence. “Good morning, Princesses. Thank you all for seeing me. I have an idea that I think will make our Friendship Festival the most wonderful celebration Equestria has ever seen!”

“Yes, Twilight! We are very excited!” Celestia said.

“Ponies have been arriving from all over all morning.” Cadene added.

“I'd like to think it's to see us, but Songbird Serenade might be the bigger attraction.” Luna stated.

“Yes, she is the... "mane" event!” I giggled a little. “And to make it extra special, I could use your help. Spike?”

Spike rolled out a large white board and as I talked Spike drew out everything. “Songbird Serenade's performance is not scheduled to start until after you begin the sunset. And based on my precise calculation, to get the very best lighting for the stage, Princess Celestia, I was hoping you could make sure the sun stays about 28.1º to the south, and, Princess Luna, if you could raise the moon 62º to the north at the same time, it would reflect the sunlight on the other side and really frame the entire stage perfectly!”

“I…” Luna stuttered.

“But wait! There's more! Cadance, if you could use your crystal magic to create an aurora above the stage, the sun and the moon will shine through it and create a truly amazing light show!”

“Presenting Songbird Serenade!” Spike cheered holding a little stick with Songbird Serenade’s sticker on it. “Ta-da…”

“So you're saying you want us to move the sun and the moon for the party?” Luna asked.

“Well, I'd do it myself, except I don't have your magic.” I laughed nervously. Princess Celestia came up to me, “Twilight, each of us uses our powers to serve Equestria in our own way. You are the Princess of Friendship. You already have all the magic you need.”

“So... that'd be a no?” I questioned.

Ren’s POV

Meanwhile the Mane 5, Jack, Jamie, Nicole, Rantaro, Kaede, Mason, Carrie and I were getting everything ready for the Friendship Festival. Rainbow Dash had finished clearing the clouds. “Skies clear and ready for the festival.” She zipped down and saw Rarity and Kaede placing diamonds on the ribbons. Pinkie and Carrie were blowing up balloons for the party. Jamie and I were making sure everything was in tip top shape. Nicole and Rantaro were laying against the stage out of the way. Applejack and Mason came over with Applejack halling a large barrel of apple cider. “Anypony up for some free samples of my family's apple cider?” she asked aloud.

Rainbow and Jack grinned and zipped over, “Thank you.” and zipped back. “Love’d it.”

Applejack and Mason admired Rarity and Kaedes’ work. “Wow, Rarity. It's a fine job you're doin' there. 'Course it might not get done 'til after the concert.”

“Yeah, Songbird Serenade will love it.” Mason added.

“Mason and Applejack anypony can do "fine". Twilight asked us, so clearly, she's going for fabulous, and fabulous takes time.” Rarity said.

“Fabulous takes forever!” Rainbow whined, “But''awesome ``...” Rainbow flew past the stage, putting the diamonds on the ribbons in a sloppy manner. She returned to Rarity and Kaedes’ side. “...can get done in four seconds flat! Faster if I do my sonic rainboom!”

“Aah! No, no, oh no! Don't you dare, Rainbow Dash! It looks wretched enough already.” Rarity exclaimed.

“Oh come on, you purple loon, it's fine!” Jack grunted, folding his arms.

“If you were raised in a barn! Ahem, no offense, Applejack.” Rarity said.

“None taken. Especially since I wasn't raised in a barn. My family just happens to have a barn. Where I was born. And... spent most of my formative years…”

“Raised in a barn!” Jack, Nicole and Rantaro said quickly in unison.

Then, Twilight came over with Spike holding a list with my hands, “Okay, just two hundred and eighteen things left to do and we're ready.”

“Hey Twilight.” We all greeted.

“So how’d it go with the Princesses? Did they like your idea?” Applejack asked.

“I bet they loved it!” Pinkie called out in the background. Twilight sighed, “Not exactly. They think I can make today perfect without their magic.”

“And they are absolutely right.” Kaede said.

“Yeah, this festival was you brilliant idea and we all know your up the task.” Rarity encouraged. However, as usual, Twilight still wasn’t convinced. “But what if I'm not?! What if Songbird Serenade hates the stage?! Or nopony makes a new friend?! And if I fail at the festival, then who am I?!”

That’s when Pinkie grabbed her face and literally smashed it against hers. “Twilight, look at me! This will be the biggest celebration Equestria has ever seen! As the Princess of Friendship, you cannot fail! This day will define who you are! The pressure is intense! It's almost too much for any single pony to handle!” She then screamed and ponies nearby gasped.

“Too far, Pinkie. Too far.” I said.

“Yep.” Jamie agreed. Twilight blinked twice and Pinkie hopped off of me. “But you have us. So stop worrying.” she said. Music started playing as Twilight smiled nervously and Applejack and Mason helped her up.

Rainbow grabbed me and took me into the sky.

I flew into the sky, overlooking the area.

(Twilight)
Today needs to be perfect, it all comes down to me
I don't know if I'm ready
For all the things they need me to be
I am the Princess of Friendship
But that is more than just a crown
It's a promise to bring creatures together
And never let anybody down!

(Pinkie Pie and I)
We've got an awful lot to bake
Each pony needs a piece of cake
Oh, wait! There's something better we can do

We're gonna need some more supplies
To make a really big surprise
She'll be so shocked
She's sure to love it, too!

You got this!
We got this together!

(All)
It's the Festival of Friendship
Together we are one
A day we will never forget

And now everything is ready
So when the day is done

(Rainbow Dash and Jack)
The weather

(Applejack and Rantaro)
The banquet

(Rarity and Nicole)
The style

(Fluttershy and Carrie)
And music

(All)
All will be in perfect harmony!

Suddenly, I heard a loud ‘POP’ sound behind me. I turned around and look up… only to be consumed by giant cake pieces.

“Oh dear!” Rarity exclaimed. Twilight’s popped my head out, “Pinkie!” and a lit candle landed on my head. Pinkie and Ren popped out of her cannon, “Oops sorry, guess my large party cannon needs a little more fine tuning.” Pinkie admitted. Twilight only groaned. Then Sarah came over with Snowflake and her pokemon friends. “Another Pinkie invention?” she asked.

“Yep.” I stated. Twilight walked out of the cake and cleaned myself just as ponies were whispering.

“Songbird Serenade, is it really her?”

“It is, It is.”

Through the crowd came two bodyguard ponies and in the middle was a beige pegasus pony with a tan and black mane and tail. The mane covered her eyes and she was wearing a black jacket. “Hi, I’m looking for the pony in charge.” she asked. Cameras flashed and she did a few poses. “I need to get ready for my soundcheck.”

“Woah.” I gasped. It was the first time, The gang and I had met a pop star in Equestria. She sounded like the singer sia.

“Songbird Serenade!” I called. “Hi, my name is Twilight Sparkle and I’m the pony in charge.”

“Ah good-” Before she could continue, there was a sound of thunder. We all looked up and saw dark clouds coming over and filling the air. “Storm clouds?” Carrie asked.

“Rainbow Dash?” Twilight asked.

“Uh, I don't think those are storm clouds.” Rainbow said.

“Yeah. I have a bad feeling about those clouds.” Mason said.

“Me too.” Rantaro said. Sarah and Snowflake, Pikachu and the others narrowed their eyes at the storm cloud and Sarah returned her Pokemon friends to their pokeballs. Then a weird-looking airship came out of the cloud.

[img] https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/4/46/The_Storm_King%27s_airship_appears_MLPTM.png/revision/latest?cb=20170629194616[/img]

“Ooh! I bet those are the clowns I ordered!” Pinkie cheered, but when the ship got closer she added, “...Or definitely not the clowns I ordered.” The airship was stationed right in front of us and broke of the thin pillars. A walk path came out and out came a small hedgehog carrying a loudspeaker and a mic. The hedgehog cleared his throat and said, Ponies of Equethtria, we come on behalf of the fearsome, the powerful, the almighty...Storm King!

Sarah narrowed her eyes a little as the rest of my friends started in concern and suspicion. The hedgehog continued, “And now, to deliver the evil, evil methage, put your hooves together for Commander Tempeeeetht!”

We heard footsteps and out came a unicorn mare wearing gray armor. She had a scar over her left eye and… she had a broken horn!

Most of the ponies gasped, ”What the hell?” Jack asked.

“Is that a unicorn?” Twilight asked.

“I think so, but what happened to her horn.” Spike asked.

“It looks like it was cut off or something.” I stated.

That’s when Celestia, Luna and Cadence came down, “Tempest, is it? How may we help you?”

“Oh I’m so glad. How about we start with your complete and total surrender.” Tempest said. Okay. She’s bad news and the rest of the gang knew it too. Twilight decided to step forward with caution. “Um.. Hi there. Princess of Friendship. Not exactly sure what's going on, but I know we can talk things out.”

I swear I heard Jack and Rainbow facepalm. “Oh goodie.” Tempest said. “All four Princesses.” Then Tempest noticed Sarah, “Hmm.. and another Alicorn too. “ she began to walk down the walkway. “Here’s the deal ladies, I need your magic. Give it up nicely please, or else we make it difficult for everyone.”

“And why should we cower before you?” Luna asked. “There’s one of you and hundreds of us.”

Tempest chuckled, “I was hoping you’d choose ‘Difficult’.” That’s when more airships came in and large Storm creatures came out and landed in the area. Ponies screamed and ran for their lives. “Holy crap!” Jack exclaimed. Carrie hugged her brother in fear.

“Crap baskets!” I added.

Tempest leaped into the air and threw an obsidian orb at Celestia. “Celestia!” Ren cried. Cadence stepped in front of her aunts and used a shield to protect them, but the orb broke through and hit her, “YAAHHH!” she cried. Twilight gasped in horror as she was turning into a statue. “Oh my goodness!” Rarity cried.

“Holy crap!” Jack added.

“Not good!” Kaede added.

“Cadence!” Celestia cried.

“Agh! I can’t stop it!” Cadence cried.

Tempest started running through the panic crowd. Celestia turned to Luna, “Luna, quick go South beyond the Badlands.” she started. Tempest threw another obsidian orb. “Seek help from the Queen of the hippo-” she didn’t finish when the orb hit her turning her into a statue. “Celestia! No!” I cried. Luna gasped and made flew into the air, but Tempest threw another orb at her. It struck her and she turned into and statute mid-air and Twilight used her magic to catch her. “Ugh. Luna!” she cried.

Tempest launched two more orbs at Twilight and Sarah?. “Newbie!” “Twilight!” Rainbow and Jack swiftly flew and ran in and grabbed Twilight and Sarah before the orbs hit them.

“Over here, you guys!” I said. Sarah, Carrie, Nicole, Rantaro, Jack, Jamie, Kaede and I along with Kodi and the girls were near the bridge. Me and Mason dashed through the Storm creatures and made it onto the bridge along with the others, but our path was blocked by two other Storm Creatures. We stopped and Twilight fired her magic, but one of them bounced it off with a shield hitting the ground and breaking the bridge beneath us. “AAAAHHHH!” We all screamed but at the last second, Sarah changed into a large bird and caught all of us on her back and she flew us far from Canterlot.

Third Person POV

Grubber and two Storm Creatures looked over the edge. “Which one of you guyth ith goin' down there?” The Storm Creatures growled, “ I would, but I just had a hearty meal, and I will think and I will thide-cramp. I'm very big-boned. I think quick.”

Ren’s POV

Sarah landed on the ground and now we all were now hiding under a fallen tree, miles from Canterlot which was now surrounded by the dark clouds and had more airships coming in. I was standing by the water while my friends were under the fallen tree. “Everyone alright?” I asked.

“Yeah… I think so.” Carrie said a little dazed from the fall.

“We just got our butts kicked by the worst party crashers ever!” Kaede said.

“We got to go back there and fight that unicorn bastard!” Jack said.

“Jack, you saw those goons. You seriously want to go back?!” Mason exclaimed. “That’s suicide!”

“So now what?.” Kaede said. “We can’t hide here forever.”

“And let’s be honest, we can’t go back. Look at what they did to the Princesses. We have to keep them from Twilight and Sarah.” Applejack said.

“Yeah Applejack’s right. We all saw what she did to the Princesses, she’ll do the same to Twilight and Sarah too, so we can’t ignore that fact..” Mason said.

“So what do we do now?.” Jamie said.

Meanwhile, Twilight was thinking about what Princess Celestia said. “The Queen.”

“Yeah the Queen.” Pinkie cheered. “Uh… what Queen?”

“Celestia told Luna to find the Queen of the Hippo- something. Luna can’t, so I have to.” Twilight said.

“Hippos? Serious?” Rainbow asked.

“Celestia meant Queen of the Hippogriffs.” Sarah said.

“Hippogriffs?” I asked.

Sarah nodded, “They are half pony, half eagle creatures and Queen Novo is the Queen.”

“They’re somewhere south, past the Badlands.” Twilight added.

“That means we’ll have to leave Equestria.” Fluttershy said. Leave Equestria. Oh boy!

“I’m not even packed.” Rarity said.

“I understand you’re scared and nobody else has to go, but I have to find Queen Novo. She might be our only hope.” Twilight said. Twilight began walking when Jack came in front of me, “Well you’re not doing this alone and getting all the glory. Wherever you go, we go. We’re in this together.” Rainbow said with a grin. “We’re not letting you do this quest alone.”

I came up with, “We got your back.”

“Indeed.” Kaede added.

“Count me in!” Mason added.

“I’m ready to save Equestria!” Carrie said.

“Yeah.” Jamie added.

“I guess, we’ll help too.” Nicole added, speaking for Rantaro and herself.

“Yeah, we’re all behind you, Twilight.” Spike said.

“Do you know where they are Sarah?”

Sarah nodded, “Snowflake, Pikachu and I have encountered Novo before during our travels. I can lead you there.”

“Now let’s get moving.” I said, “Lead the way, Sarah.” Sarah nodded and with that we walked through the forest for the Badlands on our quest to save Equestria.

Third Person POV

In Equestria, the Storm Creatures had captured all the ponies and muzzled them and forcing them to walk, connected with chains. Other were placed in cages. Tempest was on the balcony of the palace. She walked inside where the three Princess Statues were. Each were on a corner of a four petaled flower. “All this power wasted on parties when there are far greater uses.”

There was a small coldon in the middle of the room and one Storm Creature came in holding an orb that was ringing. “Well? Answer it!.” Tempest ordered. The Storm Creature poured the liquid into the caldron and out came and image of the Storm King.

“Where am I supposed to be looking? I never understand how this spell works. Tempest!” The Storm King called.

“Over here, Your Excellency..” Tempest called.

“Where?”

“Over here.”

“Huh?”

“No. No, right. Look right.”

“My right?”

“Yep.”

“Oh. There you are. Here's the deal. I'm in the middle of a big rebrand here. "The Storm King" is tracking well as "intensely intimidating", but you know what? I need to back it up. You know what I need to back it up with? A storm! That would be great! You promised me magic that could control the elements, and right now, I'm holding a what? A branch. A twig. Bleh!”

“Uh, that would be the Staff of Sacanas, Your Excellency, and it will channel the magic of the four rulers of this land. You'll soon have the power of a hundred armies.”

“So that would be a yes on your locking down the five Pegacornicuseses, or whatever you call them?”

“Give me three days. I'll have everything ready for your arrival.”

The Storm King's’ voice then turned ominous, “Remember, Tempest. Only I have the power to make you whole. Make this twig work, and you'll get your reward. Fail me, and your horn won't be the only thing that's broken.”

“It won't be a problem.” And the Storm King suddenly turned upbeat, “Great! I'm ready to power up, crash and bash, and be the biggest, baddest bugaloooooo…” and the spell finished.

“Thorry, bad thpell thervice. You want me to call him back?” Gruber asked.

“Do you have the Princess?”

“Well, uh, funny thtory. It kinda theemth like she... she might've like, you know, got away... a little bit. I know you're dithappointed, but I got one word for you: "thpongecake".” Tempest zapped Grubber with her electricity. “I need all five for the staff to work.” Tempest growled.

“Hey, I know! I want the Thtorm King to fix that crazy horn as badly as you do. It lookth like a crackly chipped tooth on the top of your head. And you know you don't look good in hatth.” She sharply turned towards him. “Those Alicorns are not gonna keep me from getting my horn back! Prepare my ship!” Grubber freaked but he went to prepare her ship. Tempest returned to her calm demeanor.

“Please. How far could two little ponies get on her own?” Tempest asked.

Ren’s POV

Now we were in the Badlands Desert. There were no clouds in the sky and just sand everywhere. The heat and humidity was unbearable. We were sweating profusely and walking slow. Rantaro was trying to fan himself but it barely worked. Jacks’ shirt was all sweaty. I looked like I was at the point of dropping down to the ground, along with Jamie.

"I...can't...take it...anymore..." Jamie complained.

“Soo… hot…” Jack groaned.

“Tell.. me… about it.” I added.

“How… much… farther?” Jack asked. The only one who didn’t seem to be affected was Sarah and Snowflake. “Sarah… Snowflake… how come you… two aren’t.. Affected?” I asked, panting.

“Snowflake and I have grown used to the desert heat.” Sarah explained.

“Hey… when did this… road get here?” Kodi asked in a tired voice.

“A road..?” Twilight said. “Where there’s a road.. There’s a-” she gasped in joy as we came over a sandy hill and they smiled. Up ahead was a town.

https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/jadensadventures/images/a/a6/Klugetown.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20180502180039

“A city.” Pinkie smiled. “We are doing it you guys.”

“You know what they say. Where there’s a city. There’s a spa!” Rarity exclaimed.

“Who says that?” Rainbow asked.

“Cause you’ve forgotten, we’re on a mission to save Equestria.” Applejack said.

“I can multitask.” Rarity grumbled. Seeing the town, must have given my friends an extra boost of energy because they started walking a bit faster. We entered the town and saw there were pig creatures and some vendors too. Carrie looked around and saw cages with animals in them. One pig creature dropped a barrel, “I got it.” Twilight said and Twilight used my magic to lift it up. “ Hey! No magic around my merchandise!” the pig creature exclaimed, frightening us a little and we scurried away while Jack and Rainbow snarled at the pig creature.

“This place gives me the creeps.” Mason said. Carrie held onto her brother tightly.

“Me too.” Jamie said.

“Just stick together.” Twilight said. “Be careful who you talk to. And try to blend in.” Suddenly a vendor creature came up to us, “How much for the red wolf?”

“Huh?” We all asked.

“The red wolf.” the vendor said again, pointing to Kodiak, “I’m not a wolf, I’m a dog?!” he exclaimed.

“Uh, sorry Kodi isn't for sale.” I said.

“I want the small girl. I'll give ya two storm bucks for it!” another vendor said.

“My sister is not for sale either!” Mason growled. The various other creatures started to surround us, saying multiple bids. Jack got in front of us for protection. We were cornered against a wall, but before any of them could touch us, Sarah came forth. “Excuse me, back away from my friends please?”

The creatures seemed to widen their eyes at the sight of her, like they knew her already. “If you don’t you’ll have to deal with my friend. Oh Snowflake~” Snowflake growled at the creatures and they scattered.

“Hehehe, still the same as always.” Sarah chuckled.

“Thanks Sarah.” I praised.

Suddenly, we heard more laughter and clapping. “Who's there?!” Mason exclaimed.

“I see you haven’t changed much, have you Sarah?” Out of the shadows came an anthropomorphic cat leaped in front of us. He wore a red robe and had a blue ring on his tail. “Who are you?” Kaede asked.

“This is Capper, one of my friends.” Sarah said. Capper and Sarah shook paws and hooves. “And I see Snowflake is still the same, huh?” Snowflake purred at the sight of him.

“These are all my friends from Equestria, Capper.” Sarah said. Capper turned to us

“Hello there everyone Capper’s the name and charming's’ my game.” Capper said.

“Nice to meet you, Capper.” Pinkie greeted until Twilight pulled her aside, “I don’t think we should trust him. He acts like Rantaro.”

Then Mason came up, “I agree with Twilight.”

“Maybe we should, I mean we could use a friend out here.” Pinkie stated. Capper suddenly came over, “You know what, the little female is right. And if I do say so myself….”

“He better not sing.” Jack grunted.

“You know he is.” I replied. Jack growled.

(Capper)

This town is not a nice place

For little fillies all alone

There are lots of twists and corners

That could lead to the unknown

Let me guide your way

And I'll be sure to help you through

You could really use a friend out here

And luckily for you...

I'm the friend that you need

When you're lost and don't know what to do

I'm your pal, your amigo

Useful and resourceful, too

And my help, you'll concede

Is a plus guaranteed

You can call and I'll come running

Just follow my lead

'Cause I'm the friend you need!

(Klugetown Wool-Seller)

He's a friend

Scaly Klugetowner: Quite a friend!

(Klugetowners)

He's a friend indeed!

(Capper)

You need a bud to spot the danger

A pal to stop the creep

A chum and not a stranger to assist

You need a bro who is cunning

That can help you take the leap

A friend who knows what's lying in the mist

Don't fear these darkened alleys

They're scary, yes, I know

Why, you could use a friend

To protect you wherever you go

And such a dazzling beauty

Covered in dirt and muck

But now your fate is changing

Now you are in luck

'Cause I'm the friend that you need

When you're lost and don't know what to do

I'm your pal, your amigo

Lookin' out for friends like you

And my help, you'll concede

Is a plus guaranteed

Just call and I'll come running

We'll say it's agreed…

'Cause I'm the friend you need!

(Me and the others)

He's a friend

Kaede: Quite a friend!

(All)

He's a friend indeed!

Capper led us into his home. There were shelves with bottles on it and it looked like a hodgepodge of some sort. “ Welcome ponies and humans. Apologies for the state of my litter box. I wasn't expecting guests.”

“Gross.” Mason stated.

“Y'all sure you want the Hippogriffs?” Capper asked.

“Yes Capper.” Sarah stated.

“Right, now let’s see what we have here.” Capper said.

Third Person POV

Tempest, Grubber and some Storm Creatures were walking through Klugetown. The creatures of Klugetown were screaming and running away. “You really think the ponieth got thith far?” Grubber asked. Tempest saw one of Sarah’s feathers on a stand, “ Oh, they're here. Attention! A little purple pony passed this way. Tell me where she is…”

“..or thumpin real bad's going to happen.” Grubber added.

“You think we're gonna fall for this again? I don't know what kinda scam you're workin' with Capper and the rest of your friends, but--” One fish creature stated.

“Friends?” Tempest asked.

“Poison or no poison, you're gonna pay!” Tempest didn’t flinch instead she knocked the fish creature down and threw him onto the ground! “Ohhhh, Fishman juth got dropped!” Grubber said. Tempest approached the fish creature. “Now… about this… Capper.” she lit her horn, emphasizing she was serious.

Ren’s POV

Meanwhile, while Sarah was looking through some of the books, Rarity was with Capper and she fixed a button on his robe. “ Here you go. I do apologize. If we were back home, I could've done something truly fabulous.” she said. Capper looked at her with suspicion, “Okay... What's the catch?”

“Nothing. After all that you've done for us, consider it a "thank you".” Rarity admitted, surprising Capper since nobody ever thanked him for anything. “Oh. Uh, don't thank me. Really.” Snowflake nudged him.

“Guys!” Twilight called. She placed a map on the table. “I found the map. The map says they live on Mount Aris. “Mount Aris? Where’s that?” I asked.

“Maybe it’s that large mountain out the window.” Rantaro stated, nonchalantly, pointing out the window. We went over to the window and saw the mountain in the distance. “That’s it!” Twilight exclaimed. “We’ve got to get to the mountain.”

“You need an airship! And lucky for you, I can get you a ride.” Capper said.

“No, no, Capper, you’ve done enough. We can take it from here.” Sarah reassured. Suddenly, the door was busted down and certain hornless unicorn came in, slowly. “Hehehe… silly ponies and humans.” Tempest said.

“Tempest.” Twilight said in fear. My friends gasped in shock and fear.

“Trusting strangers? Big mistake. Big…” Tempest said.

“Huge!” Grubber added. The two slowly walked towards us. “Ummm… any ideas, guys?” I asked nervously. Sarah suddenly used her magic to make a small cloud of dust in the room, which Tempest, stopped with her electricity. We all climbed on the windmill outside.

“Go, Go!” Twilight cried before she flew out the window. “Get her now!” Tempest ordered and the Storm Creatures went to work. “You’re gonna be scared now, humans.” Grubber said. We were on a single windmill when one of the Storm Creatures held on part of the windmill. Kaede and Carrie screamed. Sarah, Twilight and Rainbow went over and pushed one of the blades of the windmill with all my might. The struggle broke the device holding the windmill and hitting the Storm Creature in the face. We all screamed in fear as the windmill dislodged itself and started rolling through town.

“I'm... gonna... be... sick!” Applejack said.

“Me.. too!” I added. The rest were screaming and panting. We all leapt off and rushed across a platform which was getting destroyed by the windmill. Then we leaped into a small entryway. “We have to get there to the docks!” Twilight said. We all rushed up the stairs just as the ship was leaving. “Hurry!”

Rainbow rushed ahead and grabbed the rope and pulled it, allowing us friends to walk along the rope, like tightrope walkers. Jack, Jamie, Nicole, Rantaro, Mason and Carrie walked across it. “Don’t look down.” Jamie said to himself. I went next, but Kaede saw the Storm Creatures coming and she leaped onto it, pulling Rainbow and she slipped off. “WAAAHH!”

“Oh no!” Mason cried.

“Kaede!” Everyone cried.

“I’m coming!” Sarah jumped and dove for Kaede and luckily caught her before she hit some rocks. She flew her over to the airship and they landed roughly on it. “Sarah, you okay?” Ren asked.

“Yeah, I’m alright.” she reassured.

“Shhh!” Nicole snapped. We were behind some large crates and hear some voices. “Did you hear something?” Boyle asked. Squabble squawked. "Eh, probably just the rats. If we find 'em, we'll eat 'em.” Boyle said.

Jamie gulped nervously, “Rats?”

“Let’s just stay quiet.” Sarah whispered. Hopefully, these guys would be friends to us.

Third Person POV

Capper was brought before Tempest and Grubber.

“Now... where are they going?” she asked, charges her horn up. Capper got up, “Okay. No need for violence. Uh, they're headed…” The button Kaede sewed on sparkled reminding Caper about her generosity. He winced and suddenly got an idea, “They headed east! Yeah, to... to Black Skull Island. So, uh, glad I could be of service to His Majesty, the Storm King. I'll just be on my way.” The Storm Creatures blocked his way.

“When I get my Princess. Until then, your fate is still... up in the air.” Tempest said.

“Oh, you're gonna go in the thkiff! Which with a boat! Thpethifically, a air-boat!” he laughed. The Storm Creatures brought Capper abroad, “We make a great team. I love it how you aid high fate with "up in the air", and then I said, "you're gonna be in the air on an airboat!"

POV Ends

Meanwhile, on the airship, We peeked over the crates and saw the anthropomorphic parrots. “What do you think? Should we ask them to take us?” Jamie asked.

“No way!” Mason whispered. “They’re pirates for God’s sake.” Jacks’ stomach growled and he patted his gut, “Pirates or not, I’m starving.”

Mason rolled his eyes, “You’re always hungry.”

“Sue me!” Jack exclaimed softly.

“Actually, I’m kinda hungry too.” I admitted, rubbing his stomach.

“Me too” Jamie added.

“Me three.” Kaede said. Suddenly, Boyle picked up and crate, exposing us. ”Looks like a pack of stowaways.” Mullet said.

“What are we s'posed to do with 'em?” Lix Spittle added.

“What say the book, Captain Celaeno?” Mullet asked.

Captain Celano, an tanish parrot with green feathers and a green prosthetic leg as a some sort of crystal, came over with a book in her hands, “Storm King's rule book says, '' throw them overboard."

“Huh?” We all exclaimed. The parrots moved forward, ready to grab us. Ren, Jack and Mason got ready to fight when Captain Celano saw Sarah and Snowflake and the pokemon, “Wait a minute… Sarah…?” Celano said.

“Good to see you again, Celano.” Sarah greeted. Celano laughed and she and Sarah hoof/claw bumped. “Where have you been all this time, missy?” Celano said with a smirk.

“I’ve been in Equestria, with my new friends.” Sarah pointed to us.

“Well any friend of yours is a friend.” Lix Spittle said. “And we were about to have lunch, come on.”

We were suddenly in a room, eating pudding with the parrots. “Whoa whoa whoa! So you were about to toss us overboard and you stopped for a lunch break?” Jack questioned, getting a ‘Shut up’ expression from Kaede and I .

“Storm King only allows one break a day for meals, then it's back to hauling goods.” Boyle said.

“So you're delivery guys?” Kaede asked.

“And gals. These uniforms aren't exactly doing us any favors.” Celano said.

“Then can you deliver us to Mount Aris?” Twilight asked.

“Sorry. We do what the Storm King orders or we suffer his wrath.” Celano stated.

Well, that was a bust. “Right. Still going overboard.”

“Eh, it's nothing personal. Pudding?” Lix Spittle said.

“You weren't always delivery birds, were you?” Jack asked. “Yeah, what about before the Storm King?” I added.

“Yeah. We used to be much more adventurous.” Celano moved a flag with the Storm King’s picture on it and it showed a skull and crossbones picture.

“Whoa! You used to be pirates?!” Ren exclaimed.

“Um, we prefer the term "swashbuckling treasure hunters".” Mullet suggested.

“So... pirates.” Rainbow deadpanned.

Squabble squawked.

“You birds have a choice to make. You could let some cloven-hoofed Storm King tell you how to live your life, or…” Jack said. I tore the Storm King picture down, revealing the pirate symbol, “You could be awesome again!”

“Jack, Rainbow, this isn’t a good time for a-” Twilight tried to say but. Too Late.

(Rainbow and Jack)

I know the world can getcha down

(Twilight)

-song.

(Rainbow and Jack)

Things don't work out quite the way that you thought

Feeling like all your best days are done

Your fears and doubts are all you've got

But there's a light, shining deep inside

Beneath those fears and doubts so just squash 'em

Rainbow then pulled off the Storm King poster off.

And let it shine for all the world to see

That it is time, yeah, time to be awesome!

(The rest of us san Twilight, Rantaro and Nicole)

Ah, ah, ah, ah - awesome!

It's time to be so awesome!

Ah, ah, ah, ah - awesome!

It's time to be so awesome!

(Captain Celaeno)

You’ve no idea how hard it’s been
This dull routine we’ve been forced to so

Rainbow took her pirate hat and placed it in her hands.

(Rainbow and Jack)
Don't let them rob you of who you are
Be awesome, it's all up to you

(Captain Celaeno)
I feel the light, stirring deep inside
It's like a tale still yet to be told

(Everyone)
And now it's time to break the shackles free
And start living like the brave and the bold

The pirates put on their regular clothing and we came out on the deck

It's time to be awesome!
Let loose, be true - so awesome!
It's time to be awesome!
Go big, be you - so awesome!

Mullet grabbed Rainbow and was swinging on a rope with her

(First Mate Mullet)
We used to soar through the clouds in the skies

Lix helped Twilight with the map and Rainbow put a pirate hat on her.

(Lix Spittle)
Elaborate schemes we would love to devise

Boyle handed Caleno and treasure chest and show Rarity the gem.

(Boyle)
We rescued our treasure and stored it away

(Captain Celaeno)
Saving those gemstones for a rainy day!

(Pirates and Humans)
We see that light filling up our skies

(Rainbow and Jack)
So take the Storm King's orders and toss 'em

(Pirates and Humans)
'Cause it's the time to let our colors fly

(Captain Celaeno)
Hey scallywags, it's time to be awesome!

(Pirates and Humans)
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!

Hey!

Now at the wheel, Captain Celaeno said, “Come on, let’s show these little humans how it’s done!”

Her crew mates pulled some ropes and the ship revealed colorful rainbow wings in the side. My friends gazed in awe at them. “Wicked!” Jack said.

“I knew you had it in you.” Rainbow said “And Now for the finished touch.”

Rainbow flew up high into the air and Pinkie chanted, “Rainboom! Rainboom! Rainboom! Rainboom!”

Twilight said, “No, no, no, no, no!” Rainbow dove down and she performed the Sonic Rainboom and circled the ship. “Woah..” Celeano gasped. Twilight groaned and facepalmed.

“Don’t worry, Twilight. I’m sure no one else saw it.” Rainbow said. But then Snowflake and Pikachu growled at something and we saw a Storm King airship. “Ugh. Storm guards. Looks like they found you.” Celaeno said.

“Tempest!” Jamie cried.

“Secure the rigging, lock down the cargo. Everyone prepare to be boarded!” Celaeno said. Mullet ushered up to the cargo hold of the ship. “Do you think she saw my Sonic Rainboom?” Rainbow asked innocently.

“Are you kidding me?!” Twilight exclaimed.

“Sorry, hehe.” Rainbow said nervously. Mason looked upset with her.

“Oh relax, brat. She didn’t mean it.” Jack said. Mason sighed and shook his head. We all felt the ship lunge to the right, making us all fall on top of each other. Then we heard the sound of Tempests shoes hitting the floor. “We have to get off this ship, before Tempest figures out we’re here!” Twilight hissed.

“We helped them get their mojo back. They are not going to give us up.” Jack said.

“I wouldn’t bet on it.” Rantaro scoffed, tilting his hat. Jack growled at him.

“Guys stop it. Right now we have to get off this ship.” Kaede said.

“How? We’re thousands of feet in the air.” I pointed out. “I hope they’re alright.”

“I’m sure they are. T-They’re tough.” Jamie reassured. Twilight looked around the cargo hold and saw an open crate and a flag and some rope. I got an idea, “I got this.”

Third Person POV

On the ship, Tempest was interrogating the pirate crew. “Now, I'm gonna count to three, and if you don't tell me where they are, your ship is going down. One…”

Twilight gave the flag to Rainbow , “Hold this!”

“What are you doing?!” Rainbow asked. Twilight flipped the lever.

“...two…” Celeano knew she couldn’t let her and her crews’ new friends be captured by Tempest and she clenched her sword.

“Oh, this is inteeenth!” Grubber said.

“Three!” Kaede and Pinkie’s scream was heard from the cargo hold. Tempest and the Storm Creatures turned towards the source, “What?”

Captain Celaeno gasped when she realized that Sarah must have opened the cargo latch.

Ren’s POV

Okay so Twilight opened the cargo hatch and now we were all falling from the sky. “I’m gonna kill you, Twilight!” Jack exclaimed.

“Oh for the Celestia’s sake!” Rarity screamed as well.

Fluttershy whimpered as he looked down at the incoming ground. “I can’t look!” he covered his eyes in fear. Rantaro pressed his hat against his head to keep it on. Kaede and Carrie hugged Mason in fear. Nicole… well… she didn’t really do anything, she didn’t even scream, which was weird. Kodi cried out “AAAAHHH HATING THIS!” Kodi exclaimed. Anyway, Sarah whistled and familiar roars came and we saw our dragon friends flying towards us.

"Eclipse!"

"Torch!"

"Inferno."

"Skystorm!"

"Dusk and Dawn!"

"Comet!"

"Striker!"

"Slice!"

The dragons caught all of us on their backs, much to our relief.

"Sarah, how'd they-?" I questioned.

"They were following us from the beginning, but I told them to keep their distance, knowing Tempest would use them like landmarks for us." Sarah explained.

Our dragons cooed at us.

“That was fun, can we do it again?” Pinkie asked.

“Next stop, Mount Aris!” Rainbow called. The dragons roared and flew towards Mount Aris.

“We’re home free dudes and chicks!” Jack cried. We all cheered happily as we made our way to Mount Aris.

Third Person POV

Meanwhile, Tempest and the Storm Creatures were searching the ship for Sarah and company. Grubber came up to her, “ There'th no ponieth. But I found this. It's a... kind of a cupcake... with thprinkleth... Oh, yeah, and I found this, too.” he held up the map that Sarah and company left behind

Tempest looked at the map, “Huh.”

“Wow, this is a real artitht!”

“Looks like they're heading to Mount Aris.”

“Really? Mou- Mount Aris? I... Well, that's my mis— I didn't know that... Mount Ari... My bad, I didn't... That's my... I'm sorry, I'm very very sorry.” Capper said.

“Now, about your betrayal…” Then Tempest zapped the ship.

Ren’s POV

Meanwhile, me and the gang landed the crate at the bottom of Mount Aris and we had to walk all the way up to the top. “Here is it. Mount Aris.” Ren said.

We walked into Mount Aris and saw houses that looked like bird cages. The area was dead silent. The houses were destroyed or broken and there wasn’t any sign of hippogriffs anywhere. “This place looks like a ghost town.” Jack said.

“Yeah, wonder what happened here.” I questioned.

“The Storm king happened here.” Sarah said. “He invaded this land years ago.”

“And where did the Hippogriffs go to?” Twilight asked.

Sarah urged us to follow her and she guided us through the cave to the edge of the village where we saw a large ocean.

Sarah changed into a large pheonix once more. ”Get on my back and I’ll show you.” What is she talking about? Anyway, we all got onto her back and she and our dragons flew out to the sea, far from Mount Aris and we saw a large cloud of steam and the dragons flew over it, revealing a gigantic collapsed volcano caldera! “Holy crap baskets!” I exclaimed in shock.

“What is that..?” Twilight asked.

“You’ll see..” Sarah said as she and the dragons flew into the caldera. Inside the caldera were large stalagmites on the bottom. Snowflake cooed in awe at the area and the dragons flew through a tunnel that had a blue glow to it. When we came out, we were in awe seeing a gigantic forest filled with many stalactites and stalagmites that are completely overgrown with various sorts of mushrooms. “It’s beautiful...!” Applejack gasped.

“Wait until you all see this..” Sarah smirked before she and the dragons flew down and flew out of the mushroom forest and came into the Hidden World..!

Many colors of coral are mixed with bioluminescent elements and we could see they have grown from the floor of the cavern to the roof in tall columns. The coral was attached to scintillating crystals that adorn the huge cavernous spaces and antechambers with water dripping down from them.

We also saw a gigantic myriad of dragons as well! There were so many that we couldn’t even begin to count all of them!

Wait… this can’t be… “Oh my god.” I whispered.

“It can’t be… are we..?” Skye asked.

“Yep. Welcome to the Hidden World.” Sarah declared.

I couldn’t believe it! We’re actually in the Hidden World. The one from the HTTYD Movie! Oh my god! I had no words! It really does exist in Equestria.

Music started playing and Sarah began singing as she and the dragons flew around the Hidden World.

(Sarah)

Welcome to this sacred kingdom

Sarah landed on an island that had some crystals on it and glowing plant life. We all dismounted and looked around. “Woah.. this place is huge.. How are we going to find the Hippogriffs in this place?” Twilight fretted.

Sarah changed back into her unicorn self. “Follow me.” Sarah lead us to a large lake and she jumped in. “Come on.” We waded in the water with her and she used her magic to give us water helmets to help us breath underwater. “Why do we need these?” I asked.

“You’ll see.” Sarah said. She used her magic and changed herself into a sea pony and we dove under water. We swam through the water and we reached another city. All the buildings were simply like Greek buildings, with stone columns for fences and walling, open roofs. It was surprisingly brighter down here too with all the glowing corals and underwater angler lights. There were mermares and mer-ponies everywhere.

“Woah…” We all gasped. Then..

“Sarah..!” A yellow blur came and hugged Sarah. We saw that it was another sea pony and it was yellow with blue fins and a red rose in her hair. “Hi Princess Skystar.” Sarah said.

“It’s so good to see you again. I am totally taking you to my mom.” Skystar said. “Come on. You guys can come too. Hehe.” We all sweat dropped. She was as giddy as Pinkie Pie.

We entered the palace and swam into the throne room.

We saw a large sea pony. She was white with purple fins and tail fins and she had light blue fins on the ends of arms. “Queen Novo, we have some visitors.” Skystar called.

“Princess Skystar, if it’s another sea dragon, I don’t want-” When she saw us, she gasped. “Princess Skystar, what have you done! You know surface dwellers are not allowed here. Guards!” Four seapony guards came in with glowing laces. We gasped and whimpered a little.

Okay... this is not very welcoming.....

Sarah then spoke up, “Now, now Novo, remember what I said.” Novo’s eyes widened at the sound of her voice. “You have to give strangers a chance?” Novo smiled at the sight of her and they both swam towards each other and hugged.

“It’s wonderful to see you again, old friend.” Novo said.

“You too.” Sarah said. Novo then looked at us, “And who are they?”

“They’re with me Novo. They need to find the Hippogriffs in order to save Equestria from the Storm King.” Sarah explained.

“Do you know what happened to them?” Twilight asked.

“Why of course I know, I’m the Queen. I know everything.” Novo said.

“Oh, it’s such a good story.” Princess Skystar said as she suddenly appeared.

“Don’t you dare tell them!” Novo said.

But the seapony told them anyway. “Once upon a time, like, a while ago, the Hippogriffs did live on Mount Aris.”

Novo was not pleased, “Did I not say don't tell them? But hey, I'm just the queen. Don't mind me.”

“Fine! I can't tell you!” Skystar grunted, “But if I could tell you, I'd say that that horned beast did show up to steal their magic!”

“Seriously?” Novo groaned.

“But, to keep it out of his clutches, their brave and majestic leader, Queen Novo, hid them deep underwater where he could never go! We are... Well, we were the Hippogriffs! Ta-da! “Skystar laughed and came over to us and whispered, “But I totally did not tell you that!”

“Well, I guess the pearl is out the oyster now. I am Queen Novo.”

Woah… that’s… awesome! “Hold on now. Lemme get this straight. When the Storm King came, you just abandoned your entire city and fled?” Applejack asked.

“We didn't flee! We swam! Y'know, in order to flee.” Skystar replied. Same thing! “But... how?” Twilight asked.

“Oh! Can we show them? Huh? These are the first guests we've had in, like, foreveeerrr! Can we, can we, can we, can we, can we, can we, can we, can we, can we?” Skystar asked.

“Well I should make sure it still works.” Novo said. They swam pas a jellyfish that released a small glowing pearl. Skystar grinned. “Careful now.” Novo said. Novo spread the pearls magic towards us and it turned out legs into tails with fins on the end. For Snowflake, it turned her legs into four fins and gave her grills to breathe.

“Woah!” Ren exclaimed.

“Awesome!” Mason said.

“These fins are divine!” Kaede and Rarity squealed.

“Hey bodyguard, I’ll race you to that coral!” Jack challenged Mason. “You’re on!”

“Come on Jamie, try it!” Kaede said.

“Hehe, yeah.” Jamie said shyly.

“This is amazing. We can use the pearl to change everyone back in Equestria into something to defeat the Storm King’s army.” Twilight said swimming up to Novo.

“Of it could end up in his greedy claws.” Novo said seriously.

“But-?”

“Honey, I’m sorry about your home. I truly am. But my duty as Queen is to protect my subjects. The pearl.” Novo gave the pearl back to the jellyfish and then sat in her seat. “Isn’t going anywhere.”

“We came all this way, and you can’t just stay down here. Trapped forever. There’s so much you’re missing.” Twilight urged.

“We are 100% okay with that.” Novo said. Then a red jellyfish came up, “Yes Jamal?” Novo asked.

The jellyfish chattered, “Oh. Time for my seaweed wrap.” Novo then swarm off. “Yes, a massage, too. Mama needs her deep tissue.” We all swam up to her, “So that’s it? We left home for nothing?” Applejack asked.

“What are we gonna do?” Jamie asked. “She doesn’t seem willing to help us.”

“Let me and Snowflake, go talk to her.” Sarah suggested. “I’ve known her for longer so I should be able to convince her otherwise.” Sarah and Snowflake then swarm off.

Sarah’s POV

We swam to the place where Novo was about to get her massage and we came in. “Novo?”

“Oh hi Sarah, came to join me?” Novo asked.

“Not exactly.” I said. “Novo, I know you do not want to deal with the Storm King again because of what happened.” Novo’s face turned hurt. “But sooner or later, you have to deal with your past.”

“How can I?” Novo asked. I swarm up to her. “I can sense that you want to help, but you’re scared because of what happened in the past. Me and my friends can help you face the Storm King and you can take back you future instead of hiding down here.”

][u]

We've come this far together

The last step's up to you

Your spirit has been broken

But I’m here to help you heal

You-oo-oo-oo

Remember what makes you "you"

Recall what is real and true

That's all you need to do

Remember what makes you "you"

“I remember when I first came here.. During my travels..” I said.

Flashback

Sarah and Snowflake were staggering though the Sea of Clouds. They were both exhausted and hungry from their travels. Finally, Sarah and Snowflake both collapsed from their exhaustion and hunger.

“Mom, over here!” Skystar called.

Queen Novo flew over and gasped, “Bring them in quickly..” she called and her Hippogriff subjects carried Sarah and Snowflake to Mount Aris. Soon, Sarah woke up and was face to face with Skystar and Queen Novo.

“Ooh… where am I?” Sarah asked groggily.

“You’re in Mount Aris, young one. My name is Queen Novo and this is my daughter, Princess Skystar.” Queen Novo introduced. Skystar waved to her.

“Snowflake..? Where is she..?” Sarah asked.

“She’s alright young one.” Novo said and Snowflake came in and the two hugged each other. “Oh, Snowflake. I’m so glad you’re alright.” Sarah said.

Sarah then looked at Novo and Skystar. “Thank you for saving us.”

“It’s what a Queen does. Help others in need, even when you don’t know them.” Novo said.

“Well, if you want to.. Maybe we can be friends.. Allies..?” Sarah asked.

“Hmm… well… alright. We can be friends. Whenever you need me, I’ll be here for you.” Novo promised.

Sarah smiled and Snowflake purred happily.

End of Flashback

You see it's always been there

Those special qualities

You helped me when needed

And you gained a friend in me

You-oo-oo-oo

Remember what makes you "you"

Recall what is real and true

That's all you need to do

Remember what makes you "you"

Novo smiled at Sarah, “I remember that day. “Novo said. “I did helped you.. Even when I didn’t know you… and in the end.. We became allies.”

Sarah nodded and Novo turned to her but before she could say anything else we both heard music and we both swarm out and saw our friends doing a large musical with the other sea ponies. Novo came up and smiled at her daughter and she brought her into the dance number.

Ren’s POV

A few minutes ago

After Sarah left to go and speak with Queen Novo, Skystar suggested to us, “Oh, my gosh! Best... idea! You can stay with us! Forever!.” Skystar laughed. “There are so many things we can do! We can make friendship bracelets out of shells and... picture frames outta shells and... decorative wastebaskets out of shells... Oh, I have so many projects that involve shells, haha! Now I have someone new to share them with! I mean, aside from my friends, Shelly and Sheldon. Right? Shelly?”

We all just stared at her awkwardly. “That sounds lovely, Skystar, but you must realize, we can't stay.” Kaede said.

“We have to get back to our friends.” Mason added.

Skystar suddenly turned sad, “Oh, no. Of course. Of course. Heh. Of course you have your own friends back home. It's fine. It's fine. Heh. Shelly and Sheldon get jealous anyways. Heh. It's probably for the best. ”She sighed. “Yeah, I'll just, um...I'll get Mom to, uh, turn you back so you can go home.” she swam away, leaving Pinkie feeling bad. “I know we have to go, but you guys saw how disappointed Princess Skystar was. Couldn't we stay for just a little longer?”

“Pinkie we just don’t have time.” Applejack said but Twilight stated.

“No, no, no, Pinkie’s right.”

“Say what now?” Rainbow asked.

“Well we still need a plan to get back. A few minutes won’t make a huge difference and if there’s anypony who can cramp a lifetime of fun in the blink of an eye, its’ Pinkie Pie.” Twilight said and Pinkie smiled. “Go and show Skystar the best time ever.”

“I won’t let you down.” Pinkie said. And Twilight urged the rest of us to go. “I’m counting on it.” We swarm ahead and found Skystar and Pinkie began singing.

(Pinkie)
Hey, now, don't be sad
I know we cannot stay
But we've got a couple minutes
And a little time to play

(Skystar)

I know you have important things

So it's okay, just go

(Pinkie)

But we can still pick one small, little thing

To do with you, y'know!

One small thing doesn't seem like a lot

One small thing, work with the time you've got

Soon, one small thing becomes two

After two, perhaps another few

Then one small thing is not so small

One small thing can be the biggest thing of all

(Skystar)

All right now, since you're here

Let's see what we can do

Swim with the flow until you go

Together, me and you

(Pinkie)

I've got necklaces for every fish

So what else do ya got?

(Skystar)

Well, we could play the bubblefish

You'll like this one a lot!

(Pinkie and Skystar)

One small thing, it's a good place to start

One small thing, and we don't seem so far apart

Soon, one small thing leads to more

It's so much more than there was before

Just one small thing, and you will see

The start of something big for you and me

(Pinkie)

One small thing

(Seaponies)

Just one small thing

(Skystar)

Or a tall thing

(Seaponies)

Just one tall thing

(Jamie)

Or a sing thing

(Seaponies)

Just one sing-y thing

(Kaede)

Or a bling thing

(Seaponies)

Just one bling-y thing

(Me)

A conga thing

(Seaponies)

Yeah, a conga thing

(Jack)

Or a longah thing

(Seaponies)

Just one longah thing

(Pinkei)

A blue thing, true thing, you thing (ooh-ooh)

(Skystar)

A whee thing, sea thing, me thing (ooh-ooh-ooh)

(Pinkie and Skystar)

So many things and everything until our time is done

There's one small thing for each and everyone!

Then we saw Novo and Sarah coming up and the Seaponies bowed to Novo.

(Skystar)

One small thing, so much we can create

You and me, we started something great

It's so amazing, look around

At all the happy sights and sounds

One small thing is big, it's true

You did this all for us

I just wish there was one small thing

An extra special kind of thing

Skystar brought her mother into the musical and Sarah smiled.

(Skystar and the Seaponies)

That we could do for you

One small thing!

Queen Novo laughed and Skystar smiled. “Oooh.” My friends came around me and they laughed as well. “Yeah!”

“Well I guess there is one small thing we can do.” Novo said.

“Ahhh.” Pinkie gasped with hope. Maybe we can save Equestria. Suddenly, an alarm sounded and Spike puffed up in fear.

“The pearl alarm!” a pony cried. Pearl alarm? We swarm back to the throne room and saw Twilight in the jellyfish tentacles trying to take the Pearl of Transformation?!

Novo gasped before she swarm up and took the pearl, “No, please.” Twilight begged.

“All of this so you could come in and steal the pearl?” Novo assumed. Then she pulled Skystar to her, “This is why we don’t allow strangers into our home.”

Novo then turned to us, “You don’t deserve to be one of us.” Novo growled. Sarah then came up beside her, “Novo don’t please.” Sarah said.

“Sorry Sarah.” Novo sighed. Sarah sighed and Novo used the pearl to change us back and then.. We kinda got banished from the kingdom.

We breathed the surface and climbed onto the shore. “What were you thinking?! I mean stealing their pearl?!” Applejack exclaimed, outraged.

“It was the only way to save Equestria.” Twilight said.

“Except it wasn’t. The queen was going to say yes. We did what you told us and that’s when she realized that we were ponies worth saving and Sarah tried to help too.” Pinkie then gasped. “Unless… you didn’t want us to show her the best time ever. You just wanted us to distract her!”

We all gasped.

“I never would have done it, but this isn't Equestria! We can't just dance around with con artists, make rainbooms in the sky and expect everything to work out! It's not enough! We are not enough!” Twilight defended.

“No, Twilight! We stuck together! We were gonna get the help we needed! The only thing that stopped us... was you!” Pinkie said. “And now thank to you, you may have ruined Sarah’s friendship with Queen Novo!”

“Well, I'm doing the best I can! It's all on me. I'm the one Tempest wants. I'm the last Princess!” Twilight said.

“You're the only one who doesn't trust her friends!” Pinkie exclaimed.

“Well, maybe, I would've been better off without friends like you!!!” Twilight exclaimed with her horn sparking!

Pinkie gasped in horror and Twilight just realized what she said. Pinkie walked away heartbroken, “Pinkie.. I-” Pinkie sniffled.

“I just can’t talk to you right now.” Pinkie said and she walked away and the rest of us followed except for Spike and Sarah.

Third Person POV

Spike followed Twilight to a cliffside and saw her very sad. “Twilight? It's okay. You'll figure it out.” he encouraged but Twilight started crying. “No. I can't. I ruined everything. There's no chance to save Equestria now. It's all my fault.” Twilight sobbed some more.

“Spike..?” She turned around and gasped seeing a Storm Creature holding Spike. “Look out!” Spike muffled and then twilight was suddenly pushed out of the way just as a cage came over someone. Twilight looked and saw it… Sarah!

“Sarah!” Twilight exclaimed.

“GO! TWILIGHT! NOW!” Sarah yelled before she managed to blast the Storm Creature and sent both Twilight and Spike onto the rocks below as she was taken into the ship.

Sarah rammed and kicked the bars but they were really thick and it was no use. Sarah sighed and saw Tempest walking towards her. She gasped, “Oh.. the Queen of Harmony with no friends and now you have no way out.”

“Why are you doing this? You’re a pony, just like Twilight and her friends.” Sarah stated.

Tempest lit her horn and pressed it against the cage. Sarah gasped in fear. “I’m nothing like them. I’m more than they’ll ever be.” Ominous music started playing and Tempest broke into song.

(Tempest Shadow)

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

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

[instrumental]

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

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!

Sarah was horrified by what Tempest said, “I’m so sorry you felt so alone.” she said. “I saw the truth. My ‘friends’ abandoned me when times got tough. Looks like I’m not the only one.” Tempest said. Tempest scoffed. “Face it Queen, friendship has failed you too.”

“Friendship didn’t fail me. I still have my friendship and you can have it too. You still have a chance at friendship.” Tempest growled and charged up her horn. “Enough with your lies, pony!” she bellowed. “I don’t need a friend after what friendship did to me.” she hissed before walking away from my cage. Now Sarah’s only hope was Twilight and the others.

Ren’s POV

We were all sitting on the beach, clueless about what to do next. “This whole journey was such a mistake.” Fluttershy said. “All we wanted was somepony to help us.”

Applejack sighed, “You think.. Maybe it's time we talk to Twilight?”

“Hell no. You heard. She doesn’t need us.” Jack scoffed.

Suddenly, we heard Spike and Twilight yelling. “She.. been… taken…!” and they ran towards us.

“What? Rainbow exclaimed.

“Sarah’s been taken. Tempest! She grabbed her and took her on her ship!” Twilight exclaimed. “And it's all my fault!”

We all gasped. Sarah…. No! Who knows what the Storm King and Tempest will do to her. “We gotta get her back!” Rainbow said.

“How? We’ll never catch up.” Fluttershy said.

“And we got no way to defeat those monsters.” Applejack added. Oh man.. What can we do to save her…?

“Well, good thing I happen to know of a group of mighty heroes that could handle this easily!” a familiar voice said and we turned around to see Capper.

“Well! Look what the cat dragged in! Himself!” Rarity groaned.

“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!”

Carrie and Kaede awed but Rantaro said, “He’s talking about us, idiots.” Carrie and Kaede groaned.

“They even escaped certain doom at the hooves of Commander Tempest!” Capper added proudly.

“Yeah. That was pretty great.” Jack said.

“Are you kidding?” another voice came as we saw Captain Celaeno and her crew. “That was awesome!” she exclaimed. Squabble squawked. “Figured you could use a claw!” Boyle said.

“ We're on board to help you fight the Storm King! Just not on board our... actual ship.” Caleano said.

“That crazy unicorn sunk it. But you got back our argh! And we're ready to kick some booty.” Boyle added. He and the other pirates laughed. The water behind them started to bubble and out came Skystar and Novo in their hippogriff forms.

Skystar had light blue feather and her body was yellow. Her front claws and back hooves were light brown.

Novo had purple feather with two blue strands and her body was white while her front claws and hooves with light tan. She wore a light blue necklace around her neck.

“Is that what I think it is?” Capper asked in shock. Following Novo and Skystar was about two hundred dragons. Nightmares, Zipplebacks, Gronckles, you name it.

Skystar and Novo landed, “Hello. Us again.” Skystar said. “We wanna help too.” Skystar came over to the group. “Cause you know one small thing can make a really big difference.”

“Alright ya’ll. I think our course is clear. Ya’ll ready to do think thing?” Capper called.

“We’re coming Sarah.” Kaede said. Everyone else cheered as they all mounted the dragons and flew towards Equestria.

Sarah’s POV

Back in Equestria, I rolled through Canterlot in my cage, being pulled by two ponies. I saw buildings were destroyed and almost all the ponies in cages. Those who weren’t were forced to march, shackled and wearing muzzles. It horrified me to see this. I was rolled into the palace and my cage was set down in the empty corner of the flower marking on the ground. Grubber closed the door as the shackled ponies left. “Tempest, don’t do this. Don’t give the Storm King-”

“Your magic? Did you think you'd keep it all to yourself? Time to share. I'd love for everybody out there to know what I can really do.” she said.

That’s when the Storm King came in.

“Ooh, fascinating! What can you really do?” he asked. Tempest and Grubber bowed to him. “ Your bidding, of courth, Your Mighty One.” Grubber quickly got up and ran out of the throne room.

He walked over to my cage, “Bidding's good. I like bidding! Um, what are you supposed to be?”

“I’m the Queen of Harmony.” I replied.

“Oh. That's nice.” he went over to Tempest, “Why is this one still moving? Where is the pony Princess?”

Tempest replied with, “She and her friends put up a bit of a fight, but she's alone now. She won't be a problem and her magic will do just fine.”

“Yeah. So, speaking of problems, this place, it seems a little too—oh, I don't know—cute!!! I don't like cute! I never did like cute! Doesn't really go with my whole "big bad powerful magic guy" thing, does it?! Deliver the punchline, Tempest, because this has gotta be a joke!” The Storm King placed the staff into the center of the flower marking and the magic from Equestria and the Princesses. The magic drained happened to me and my element, “NO!”

The Storm King laughed, “Check out the light show.”

When it was done, the Storm King yanked the staff out. “Wow, wow.” My legs felt very weak and I collapsed in my cage. “Let's get this storm started! Ooh, hey, that's good. I should trademark that.” He turned to my cage and he blasted me, sending me onto the balcony and breaking my cage. “Ugh!”

The Storm King came out, “Not bad. Actually, kinda first rate. What else does it do?”

Tempest came up, “ Your Excellency, you promised to restore my horn and give me—”

“Deh-deh-deh-deh-deh, okay. Hang on.” He moved his staff and he was amazed when he saw the sun and moon moving, “ You gotta be kidding me! I can move the sun?! A ha ha! Wow! Now this is what I'm talkin' about! Ha ha! Time to play! Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday! Day and night! Day and night! Day night! Day night! Day night! Sunrise, sunset!” I could only watch in horror, “Guys, where are you?”

Ren’s POV

Me and my friends were camouflaged against some Changewing dragons as we snuck into Canterlot. “Oh man, look at this place?” I whispered.

“This is horrible.” Kaede said. “Hope Sarah’s alright.”

“Let’s keep moving.” Mason said. The Changewing moved towards the middle of the capital. “Now guys?” I asked.

“Now.” Jack said and the changewings revealed themselves and spit acid at the Storm Creatures, who yelped in pain and ran away. Caleano and her crew came and started fighting the Storm Creatures. The other dragons flew in and rammed, bashed and fire at them as well.

“Head for the castle, we’ll hold them off.” Caleano said. We dismounted the changewings, “Come on!” Mason cried as we rushed for the castle. Capper and us made it to the entrance when we were met by the wall of Storm Creatures. “Uh-oh.” I said.

Just then, “Hey aren't you a fire breathing dragon?” Capper asked Spike. Spike smiled and Capper used him as a Flamethrower and blasted the Storm Creatures and they ran away. “Hahaha.” Capper laughed.

“That’s the way!” Jack added. Suddenly, thunder cracked through the sky and high winds. “Move those legs, humans and ponies!” Capper cried as we ran for cover. The Storm Creatures were lifted into the air! We took cover behind a sturdy building. “Great now what?” Jack groaned. “We have to break through it. That’s the only way we’ll get to Sarah.” Jamie said.

Are you friggin serious?! We have to flying faster than Midnight to break through that wind.” Jack said. “And how the hell are we gonna do that?” Pinkie gasped, suddenly remembering something, “Excellent question, Private Jack.” Skye and Pinkie said putting on a daredevil helmet.

“Why do I regret asking, how?” Jack said nervously.

Sarah’s POV

Minutes Earlier

I saw my friends and their dragons on the castle grounds. “What? How?” Tempest growled.

“It’s the magic of-” The Storm King interrupted. “Yeah, yeah! Friendship, and flowers, and ponies, and bleh! I'm so totally over the cute pony thing. This... ends... now!” He raised his staff and a large tornado came in and surrounded the palace. Me and Tempest gazed in horror.

“Now I truly am the Storm King! And the entire world will bow to my ba-ba-ba-boom, baby!” he declared. Tempest went over to him, “ Yes, yes, you are every bit as powerful as I promised, Sire, now, restore my horn and I swear to use my magic to serve you!” The Storm King laughed and pushed Tempest aside, “Who cares about your dinky little unicorn horn?!”

Tempest was shocked, “: But... we... we had an agreement!”

“Get with the program! I used you! It's kind of what I do!” The Storm King fired his staff at Tempest and she retaliated with her electricity, pushing them both back. The Storm King against the wall and Tempest was hanging on with one hoof on the rim of the balcony. I gasped.

Tempest struggled to hang on but lost her grip, but I grabbed her, “Hold on!” I called.

Tempest looked at me, shocked, “Why are you saving me?”

“Because this is what friends do.” I replied with a smile. Tempest looked at my hand and she smiled at me. I pulled her onto the ground. The Storm King suddenly appeared in front of us, pointing his staff at us. “Awwww! Isn't that just so sweet!” he laughed. “Yeah. See ya!” I gulped nervously.

Ren’s POV

“You sure about this?” Mullet called.

“Just do it!” I cried. “Thank you!” We were all tightly packed inside the giant party cannon me and Pinkie made. “Aha, why are we doing this again?” Jack growled.

“To get to Sarah, that’s why.” Mason said.

We heard Squabble squawked and we were launched out of the cannon, screaming the whole way until we crashed into the Storm King and rolled across the floor. “Never do that again!” Jack yelled.

“Awesome!” I cried.

“Guys!” We turned and saw Sarah coming towards us. “Sarah, you’re alright.” We all hugged her happy she was alright. “The Storm King took the magic of Equestria into his staff.” she said.

“You mean the one that’s going out of control, now.” Rantaro deadpanned, pointing at the broken staff that was sparking magic. We all gasped in horror as the staff blasted the ceiling causing it to complete break, exposing us to the storm. “I have to get control of it!” Sarah called.

“Go, you got this Sarah!” Kaede said.

“No… we got this… together.” We all stood together, ready to get the staff. Mason lassoed a large rock and Sarah spread her wings. It was her first, then me, Jamie, Jack, Carrie, Nicole, Rantaro, Kaede, Snowflake, Kodi, Mason, Twilight, Pinkie, Spike, Rarity, Rainbow and Applejack. Sarah flapped her wings and we were lifted into the air, trying to get the staff.

“The staff belongs to me.” The Storm King hissed, climbing the rubble to grab the staff first. Sarah reached for the staff with all her might. “Mine! Mine!” The Storm King leaped for the staff just as Mason walked out a little, extending our reach.

“NO!” Sarah cried. She grabbed the staff, the Storm King crashed into the window, exposing us to the Storm and Sarah was pulled out of my grasp and into the storm! “Sarah! NOOOOOOO!” I cried.

Everything went quiet as the storm calmed, revealing sunlight and we slowly descended to the ground. We all looked at the sky, trying to find any sign of Sarah. “Look!” Nicole said. There, descending to the balcony with the staff in her hands was Sarah, looking a little frazzled.

“YEAH!” I cried.

“Alright!” Mason cried.

“That’s our girl!” Jack added.

“Eeeh, group hug.” Kaede said. We all hugged Sarah in one big group hug, relieved she was alright. Just then, we saw and heard Tempest running towards us with her horn charging up. Mason and Jack got in front to protect us, suddenly she jumped over us, yelling, “NO!” and she was hit with an obsidian orb that nearly hit us!

The Storm King and Tempest were caught in the smoke and the Storm King statue fell off the balcony while we acting quickly and used the staff to catch Tempests’ statue. We placed it on the ground, “Woah… I can’t believe she did that.” Jack said.

“I can.” Sarah said.

“You showed her the Magic of Friendship, didn’t you?” Kaede smirked.

“Yes.” We used the staff to turn her back to her normal self. She gasped and looked at us and she smiled. “Now what?” Jamie asked. We all looked at each other and Sarah looked at Tempest. “Now ... we fix everything.” She and Tempest walked into the throne room and Sarah place the crystal of the staff into the small hole, releasing all the magic back into Equestria. The Princesses were restored. “Twilight.” Celestia called.

“Princesses.” The four of them hugged each other while the staff continued to restore Equestria.

That night, Spike was on stage with glass on. “Fillies and gentlecolts, get ready for a little...Songbird Serenade!” Everybody cheered loudly for the singer. Our new friends stayed for the event. “And now to celebrate the fact that we’re all still here in one piece. Give it up for Queen Sarah and her friends!” The spotlight shone on us and the ponies cheered for us.

“Alright!”

“Way’d a go guys!”

“Yeah!”

The three Princesses came and bowed and Sarah bowed back. The lights went out and Songbird Serenade perform her song.

The ponies cheered and Jack fisted pumped Celeano while Rarity made Capper a black cape and a top hat. “Ooooh.” Capper said.

“And perfection~.” Rarity and Kaede sang.

Pinkie and Skystar were laughing with each other. Novo smiled at her daughter.

Songbird Serenade looked at me for a moment and she flew off and I turned around and saw Tempest all alone. I flew over to her and landed a few feet from her. “That’s one thing that never changes around her; a party.”

“Well, I hope you’ll stay. More friends are definitely merrier.” I proposed.

“But um… my horn.” she said.

“You know.” I said. Tempest turned to me, “You’re horn is pretty powerful. Just like the pony it belongs to.”

“I did tell you that I wanted to show everypony in Equestria what I could do right?” She walked a few feet and shot electricity into the air making fireworks. We both looked at each other and smiled. Pinkie came up with the others. “Nice touch Tempest.”

“Actually that’s not my real name.” Tempest revealed.

“Not your real name?” Ren asked.

“Oooh, what is it?” Pinkie asked. Tempest whispered into here ear. “It’s Fizzlepop Berrytwist.” Pinkie gave a huge gasp, “Alright that is the best name EVER!” Tempest looked at her weird, while the rest of us rolled our eyes. Typical Pinkie.
