The Alicorn king:

The Raising of Atlantis:

The fall of the caribou

AppleJack (V.O.): Last time on Alicorn King

As the three sirens

walked in with Aria carrying a huge taco and munching on it. Adagio called out, "Your Majesties, the Steward of Atlantis awaits the queen to accept the throne from him." "Yeah." Aria says as she takes bite of her taco. "He's tired of keeping your throne warm."

Alex looks to Crystal and says, "My Queen your queendom awaits." He then holds out his hand.

"It would be fitting if Atlantis was Ruled by it's queen from her rightful throne." Alex said with a mischievous grin.

"Eh better be the size of a plateau." Ayumi said with a chuckle. "Considering a Gojira is going to be sitting on the throne after all."

"The Ancient throne room is huge!" Aria said with awe. "And is a red and black marble Throne with two foot shaped platforms that looks like Gojira could sit in it with two pony sized thrones as well as a four foot tall cylindrical table a short distance from it."

Alex looked at his Queen and asked, "Do you want to ascend to your Atlantean Throne in Atlantis or move your seat of government to the newly formed sky continent?"

"Considering the other connections I have with various countries through my status as the Draco I think we should have the atlantean throne room be our main meeting place for political affairs and the sky continent be our actual home." Ayumi said before moving over to the larger indent in the floor meant the house her larger form. "For right now I should take on my more imposing form so that others see me at the height of my power." She quickly transformed most of her skin turning into the black charcoal textured hide of a gojira while her wings transformed into their crystalline state all while her whole fork glowing purple in a rhythmic pattern stemming from her heart all over her body in the classic gojira intimidation tactic.

Alex nodded to his Queen's words then said, "As you wish my Queen. Me, seline, Luna, and Celestia will meet you there. I Have to check on Chrysalis to see how her exoskeleton is healing and with the help of the Royal Sisters create a force wall to prevent anypony who can't fly from falling off the edge." He then checked on the changeling Queen when he entered her chambers he saw two feeding pods in one of the two walk-in closets and two what could only be called changelings-in-waiting serving her. "Finally have enough time to come and check on me?" Chrysalis drolly commented. Alex nodded. "Seems I didn't have to worry as you managed to get some of your staff here." The changeling queen smiled and said, "I've done more than that. I moved my entire hive to this sky continent. Don't worry the hive won't destroy the structural integrity of it. In fact most of the tunnels won't come within a mile of topside. My old hive has been relegated to be a Love farm. I'm having drones acquire Caribou and put them into pods. They ship over to here jars of love-honey and don't worry we're only taking Caribou who're alone or in pairs." Alex nodded. "I'll leave you alone. I've got to find the Celestial Sisters and Twilight so they can help me make sure the edge is safe."

Alex exited Everfree castle and headed into Everfree Village. The resurrected village when it was originally built was laid out identically to modern Ponyville. That wasn't a coincidence because Princess Celestia (under the guise of Sunrise Dawn) helped it's construction. Celestia and Luna under disguising spells walked through the town which had grown into being a Township. At which point they arrived at the new Sugarcube Corner. "I'm surprised how Old Town Everfree matches Ponyville." Luna commented.

"That's because this is the original Ponyville." Celestia said quietly to her sister. "When the town was destroyed after your banishment I had planned to relocate most of the people to the area outside of the everfree and rebuild there, something that didn't come to fruition until the Apple family decided to use the Old orchard that once supported the castle."

"Granny was always wondering where all the dead apple trees came from." Red Gala (formerly Big Mac) "Knowing that the area was once an orchard for the old everfree Town makes far more sense especially since that explains the zap apple. The trees were only mutated by the Everfree's chaotic energy from their original normal origins instead of being an exclusive species that only lives in the Everfree as we all thought." The rather muscular and well endowed mare looked to the Sisters. "I have a favor to ask of you and your mates. My wife Sugar Belle was hoping to have children by now. If any of you have an idea how to help me regain my Stallionhood even if it doesn't change me back completely I would be grateful. I just want to fulfill the request at some point."

After Luna looked at Red Gala and noticed a sadness about her and smiled after thinking about a spell that Seline, Twilight, Alex, and herself talked about. Alex (with Twilight's help) came up with a two part spell to restore a stallion fully. Alex had finished the first part while the second part was giving the pair headaches. They showed them the spell matrix. "I do Red." Luna said. I must warn you it's new and untested. It could make you a true hermaphrodite but there is a chance, but there is a chance you could be unable to either Sire or bear foals."

"The risk is worth it," Gala said, resolute in her decision "with AJ showing I've been reminded of my promise to Granny. If I do become sterile we'll just use a substitute. I just want the chance to truly be a father in some way even with my new form."

Celestia nodded then said, "I advise that if everything goes as planned, Sugar Bell undergoes the same spell as you have found out why they act like they do during heat season."

Luna nodded then, lighting up her horn, cast the spell on Red Gala. Celestia cast a scanning spell so she could step in if things started to go pear-shaped. By the time Red Gala and Luna's horn both stopped glowing, Red Gala was a futanari. Capable of both siring and carrying a foal.

Meanwhile, on the Albatross, a bagless airship using a magical ore to fuel the engine of the airship that kept it a loft, several ponies and three changelings moved about. Resembling a sea going Galion with paddles that were moving like they were moving the ship along, the captain stood next to the wheel, observing their crew.

"It is understandable that you would be nervous," a mare's voice said next to the captain. "Not many have seen Atlantean technology since the island sank. Rest assured if this ship does fall I will be there to save it." The seeming earth pony mare said.

"It's not the technology that has me worried." Captain Crystal Compass the skymare replied, before motioning towards the two cannons that runes etched in them. "It's those cannons. They don't look like either Equestrian or Atlantean technology and that makes me wary."

"Ah Ayumi works fast." The mare said "Those are the designs of my people enhanced using technology and magic similar to the party cannon and the party howitzer of the famous party couple Pinkie and Cheese scaled up to allow for use in atlantean aircraft. Now I'm going for a flight to keep an eye out this part of the continent near the Frozen sea hasn't really been explored, not even by Chrysalis's changelings or those damn Caribou. We don't know what could be there on the ground. I just have this feeling it's not safe even for us up here in the sky."

"Flight?" The Captain said. "Do you have a contraption like what Lady Pie once made?"

"Glacier ahead!!" Came a shout from the crow's nest.

"I'm not a equissian pony Miss Compass." The earth pony said slowly floating off of the deck. "In fact you could think of me as if I'm not a pony at all." With that the mare flew towards the rather tall glacier, her eyes seemingly glowing red before a burst of steam obscured her from the crew on the ship.

"By the Lunar mare," Captain Compass groaned, "Just my luck to get an alien pony. ALTITUDE" She commanded.

"That might be a problem." An unknown male voice said. "You see you equestrians are trespassing on our land and that means that we Humans finally have a reason to fight back." The man was floating in the air a black cloud like a cloak around his shoulders. "And believe me we've been wanting this chance for such a long time."

"Be that as it may." An unknown female voice said. It belonged to an athletically built human female, who was standing on a carpet that had settled on the deck of the ship. "The Counsel has voted we open our borders which means these ponies shall not be attacked. Really my friend, your faction has been losing power since the Chaos Era. The ponies of our region have been wonder if there are still ponies in the world."

"I-" the man began before the earth pony mare returned, punching him away from the ship, her face looking as if she was the devil incarnate.

"YOU NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE NOW!" she shouted as the very air began quaking with released power. "Lavan wakes."

The mysterious female sighs then says, "I don't have time for this. Nwot fo strikstuo eht ot pihs siht ekat!"

In a flash, the airship was teleported to a lake on the outskirts of a town. "Welcome to Dream Valley. " the female said.

Now in the clear Steelheart disengaged her disguise protocols revealing the metallic looking fur she had normally was actually a synthetic liquid metal alloy. "Whoever that human was, hopefully they're safe now."

"Megan's descendant was on the ship?" The man asked himself none the worst for where considering he had taken a charged Kryptonian level punch. "Interesting, interesting indeed."

"Okay how the fuck are you still alive I punched you damn hard!" Steelheart said. "Being in the air shouldn't have dampened the blow that much!"

"My dear pony I'm but you would call an alicorn or at least equivalent to one. One of the known features of an alicorn is…?" the man said

"Enhanced durability, a regeneration factor and near immortality damn." Steel said going over the relevant facts. "Add on super strength flight and high levels of magic and even without a lava demon below us and I'd have my work cut out for me. Shit!" The metallic outer layer shifted quickly reforming into densely packed muscles as her eyes gained a red glow. "Luckily I've fought bigger, fought harder."

In the town the crew were setting up an outpost. "Ay how come we're not going into the town immediately?" One of the crew asked before she got lightly shocked by Tempest's magic.

"For one thing we're the strangers here." Tempest growled. "And another thing everybody on this ship just experienced their first teleport!" Sweeping her hand to the crew revealing that most of them were nauseous and that very few could stand up without swaying.

"LOWER THE SHIP!" Captain Compass bellowed. "RIG FOR AQUATIC MANEUVERS!!" At those orders the ship began to descend.

With a sudden swiftness a woman appeared on the deck next to the representative. The only way that the ponies and other creatures around to tell that she was in fact human was the lack of distinguishing species features and the small glimpse of Ebony skin coming from her exposed fingers, otherwise the woman was completely covered from head to toe in a traditional Ninja outfit dark blue in coloration. The outfit leaving barely anything exposed to the outsiders. "You should not have left without your guard detail my lady." She said "Wantall had been tailing your escort."

"Yoruichi," The human who brought the Albatross said in annoyance. "I don't need them." She pinched the bridge and grumbled something under her breath.

"Wrong my lady," the woman said. "but it's understandable that you mixed us up considering the fact that we're twins. And in this case I was referring to myself. I knew you wanted to go low profile to avoid Wantall for the most part so I petitioned that only one guard me, your best friend would go with you, it had been approved but you had already left by then. My sister is here but because of her crush she did not want to come up here just yet so she's helping with the rigging of the ship."

"Ugh!" Nabiki Williams groaned, "Those fools keep trying to mold me into whatever they consider a proper lady. Don't they realize it's modern times."

"You do know that you can just use the blackmail you accumulated to screw them over if they truly push you past your limits." Road teased. "Not to mention you can act as proper as the element of generosity if the need arises."

"Road!" Nabiki snapped. "I. DON'T. DO. BLACKMAIL." She crosses her arms. "Besides we've only found one of the six Rings of Harmony, the ring of generosity, so far and it selected me."

"You do gossip, not blackmail." Road said repeating a phrase she had heard from her best friend over and over. "You have to admit gathering all that and writing it down is kind of suspicious Biki."

Suddenly two shapes landed nearby revealed to be the two fighters from earlier, the mare holding the wizard by the collar. "Be happy I didn't kill you bastard. The people here still need someone to protect them from that damn lava monster should it get any closer and your power over weather and that cloud demon you control will definitely help in the fight to come." She said throwing him towards the humans on the pier.

Captain Compass spread her wings and flew over to the pair. "Ma'am I have a full weather team storm busters on my ship." She said. "If you wish I'll have the assemble a storm over the demon and have it rain on top of it."

Meanwhile, Nabiki looked at her friend and said, "Gathering information of your opponents moves is good strategy. But I do plan to advise Senator Bluebelle that she should stop her opposition to the stallion freedom bill. It's high time they're allowed to get out of the stables unsupervised."

Huh Nabiki heard in her head. They still do that there? Not going to lie I might rampage through the Valley if you don't make it an executive action for their freedom my fellow element ring holder.

What's an executive action? She responded looking at her ring.
