Trials of Sarah: Make Your Mark

Meanwhile, Hitch was down at the Beach after getting a call of a small disturbance which turned out to be an argument between two foals; one Earth Pony and on Unicorn with the Earth Pony foal being upset over the unicorn dropping his umbrella onto his sand castle and the earth pony foal thought he did it on purpose.

As Hitch tried to defuse the tension the earth pony foal stated magic shouldn't be allowed on the beach and when a foal asked is magic allowed, Hitch hastily removed himself from the conversation with his animal friends before noticing a pink and magenta egg in the sand which wasn't like any egg he'd seen ever and he decided to take it home all the while Zipp and Ryu were investigating the scene given the event with the pegasi stirring concern in the two of them.

They got even more concerned when she tried to fly back to the Brighthouse when Zipps' wings lost their flight for a moment before she gained it back and they flew back to the Brighthouse. "Zipp, Ryu there you are." Sunny smiled.

"Oh you coming to town with us to get things for the new and improved Maretime Bay Day?" Izzy asked as Zipp hastily walked inside.

"Oh uh...Ryu and I....are...working on our own thing for Maretime Bay Day, yeah!" Zipp replied hastily before going up to the Lighthouse.

"Zipp, you should at least tell one pony about this." Ryu advised.

"I-I will, but I just need to learn more...that's all..." Zipp replied as the two entered the Lighthouse only to find Sarah and her mentors there already. "Sarah?"

"Oh hi Zipp, hi Ryu." Sarah greeted and the two saw the eleven nests on the balcony.

"What's with all the nests?" Zipp asked.

"Well...my Equestria Pin was acting a little strange before and Zoura found these eleven eggs buried in the ground." Sarah explained.

"Buried in the ground, why?" Ryu questioned.

"I don't know. We've never seen eggs like these before. They're not pokemon eggs, that's what we do know." Sarah showed the pair the eggs and they agreed.

The eggs were definitely not pokemon being they were differently coloured and patterned:

The first four were silvery white, rose pink, golden yellow and aquamarine, the other five were orange, black, indigo, silvery-gray and amber. The last two eggs were turquoise with aquamarine shading and silver with pink shading.

"Woah....those are really strange yet beautiful." Zipp smiled.

"Indeed they are." Ryu agreed. "If they were buried in the ground, they could be very powerful species eggs."

"So they could have been put there for protection?" Zoura questioned.

"It's likely, but until we know what the species is, it's a big mystery." Ryu stated.

"So what are you gonna do with them when they hatch?" Zipp asked.

"Well, I guess, Mom and Dad could look after the last two eggs, my mentors could have the first four and me and my family can have the rest."

"Wait what?!" Sarah's Mentors gawked but Zoura chuckled.

"Oh come on, you raised the little colt, you can raise whatever is in those eggs." she teased. Her mentors sighed but saw she had a point.

Just then, Zipp's phone rang and she groaned seeing her mother was calling again, "Ugh..." but she reluctantly answered.

"Hi mom."

"Zipp there you are! Have you been ignoring my calls young lady?"

"N-No, I've just been helping Sarah with some decorations lately." Zipp fibbed.

"Oh well I can't wait to see them." Queen Haven smiled.

"See what?"

"The decorations? Oh didn't Pipp tell you. I'll attending this years Maretime Bay Day festival." Haven replied to Zipp's horror.

"What why?!" she panicked but Haven couldn't answer being Cloudpuff drew her attention away for treats.

"She you there darling." Haven smiled before ending the call.

"Ugh!" Zipp frowned faceplanting her face onto the floor.

"Zipp, you have to tell you-" Sarah started before Zipp mumbled back

"My true feelings....I know...."

The small group went to Main Street to search for any other disturbances in magic, but they didn't see anything strange, except Hitch dragging a bag of sand back into the Sheriff's building. Investigating, the group saw he'd found a small egg and was caring for it like a father. Again, the eggs wasn't like anything seen before adding even more mystery to the eggs.

Zipp's phone rang again and it seemed to be a distress message from Pipp. Rushing back to the Brighthouse, it turns out Pipp planned a surprise for them seeing they were all stressing lately. "Please don't let it be makeovers, Please don't let it be makeovers..." Zipp, James and Tsukumaro prayed but....

They found themselves in hair dryers at Mane Melody getting makeovers, "I knew it..." they deadpanned.

"But this is so relaxing." Izzy smiled.

"I agree with the happy go lucky unicorn...." Haxrous sighed happily as Jazz did his claws.

"Hehe, don't you all love it here at Mane Melody?" Pipp smiled.

"Yeah Pipp. You and Sefu did an amazing job with this place." Sarah grinned.

"Thanks Sarah." Pipp nodded before going over to her big sister whom was still concerned about magic.

"Hey Pipp, I'm sorry I haven't been helping out. It's just I've been thinking about other things like-"

"Telling Mom, you don't want to be Queen?"

"That and about magic. Something weird is going on."

"Ugh, you worry too too much." Pipp dismissed.

"But if something happens to magic this time, we may have something even worse than Scarlet Nightmare and her Shadow Pokemon and Dragons and we could lose Ryu and-"

"Zipp, you need to chill. Nothing's is going to happen." Pipp reassured before going over to the small stage with Swanna where Rocky and Jazz, two of her friends and workers were. "We got our friends back. We've got Magic, Pokemon and Dragons back. And we've got-"

"Music~" Pipp, Jazz and Rocky sang together.

"At Mane Melody,"

"We sing,"

"While we style," the latter smiled.

"Pipp Pipp Hooray/Pipp Pipp Hooray!" The Mane Four and the younger pokemon and dragons smiled.

"This one goes out to my paranoid big sis, Zipp." Pipp smiled earning a distatifised look from Zipp.

Pipp: I know you're feelin' like there's something wrong

But don't you worry I have just the song for you

So put those hooves up in a comfy chair

And you'll forget those hairs in a minute or two

That's what you'll do

Jazz: You've got alot on your mane and that's kidna tragic

But with a little bit of caring and a touch of magic

Rocky: You'll feel brand new

And You'll forget what's been troubling you

Pipp: So put your hooves up high

Cause we're feeling alright

Everything is awesome in Maretime Bay

So put your hooves up, put your hooves up

Everything is gonna be okay

"You don't get it do you?! We can't just sing a song and ignore everything! If we lose magic this time, we may never get back and something else could take away Ryu and everyone else again and it'll be ours fault...." Zipp expressed finally letting her worries be free.

"What is she talking about?"

"Lose magic?"

"Whose fault?" Izzy, Sunny and Hitch commented before a loud crash was suddenly heard from outside and the group came out to see a cluster of ponies, including Windy, a red Pegasus.

“Are you ponies okay?” Pipp asked as they got up.

“Windy, what happened?” Sunny asked the pegasus.

“I don’t know. I was just flying along and before I know it I was down here on the ground.” Windy explained.

“Me too. Because you fell on us.” a unicorn frowned, giving Windy a glare.

“I’m sorry everypony. I’m usually a good flier.”

“Clearly she’s not.” Posey snarked as she appeared again. “This is what I've been saying, what everypony’s been thinking. If Pegasi and Unicorns can’t be respectful. Then they shouldn’t be allowed to use their magic in Maretime Bay.”

“She’s right.”

“I’m not sure.”

“Yeah, no more magic.”

“It’s not fair. We Earth Ponies don’t get any magic and the ones that do have it don’t even know how to use it. Or use it to prank us.” Posey snarked again.

“Yeah.”

“Posey’s right.” two more Earth Ponies stated.

“Everypony wait!” Sunny exclaimed.

“And now they want to ruin our special Earth Pony holiday too.” Posey accused.

“That’s not true!” Sunny exclaimed.

“And Neither is what you just said about Unicorns and Pegasi not being able to control their magic, my adoptive Mother and Godfather can control their magic and my adoptive father who is a fell Earth Pony has Magic connected to the Earth.” Sarah pointed out, frowning at Posey. “Not to mention myself and birth parents still having complete control over our magic.”

“She’s right.” the unicorn agreed with her.

Posey scoffed before she insulted Sarah and her family. “Says the two royals who suddenly turned up after leaving us for many moons only to be replaced by their little sunshine Alicorn daughter who probably doesn’t even deserve to be in Equestria at all let alone her family of different non-Equestrian Dragons and other creatures who are going to ruin our holiday too!”

“Sarah and her family would never do that!” Sunny defended. “They defeated Scarlet Nightmare and her Shadow Dragons and Pokemon for us after we brought them back because of our distrust. Sarah got turned to stone and was brought back by Ryu and the Dragons. That's the reason we’re together again.”

“Well maybe things would have been better if Scarlet Nightmare came back and this girl and her family were exiled from Equestria forever! So do us all a favor and get rid of them!” Posey declared which seemingly caused the formation of dark storm clouds the skies above.

“And Maretime Bay Day should be a magic free!”

“Like a no fly zone!”

“Or Alicorn and her family zone!”

“Yeah they should leave Equestria!”

“Or else we’re not coming!”

A flash of thunder made Posey and the ponies run for cover while Sarah, Doug and Deliah heard the evil laughs again in their heads, making them hurt and making their eyes flicker again and gain a slight faded gray and white colouration before they felt the same weakness as before and fell onto their knees.

“Sarah! Doug! Delilah!” Izzy gawked, helping them up as she, the Mane Five, Sarah and her whole family and the Mighty Ones looked on in worry.

At the Crystal Brighthouse, Sugarcake and Siren placed icepacks on Sarah, Doug and Deliah’s heads behind their horns. “Thanks…” Sarah replied weakly.

“They never collasped like that before! Why did they collasped like that!” Silvally asked.

“I think I know why and what's happening to magic. Why its' glitching.” Zipp stated.

“You do?” Sunny asked.

“It’s because the magic is powered by Ponies and their friendship.” Zipp claimed.

“What?” Hitch questioned skeptically.

“Think about, you saw those dark clouds that formed when Posey said Sarah and her family should leave Equestria and accused Pegasi and Unicorns and Sarah and her birth parents collapsed and their eyes started to gain a faded gray color, just like when Scarlet Nightmare stole her magic.” Zipp explained.

“So when ponies are treating each other with kindness…”

“Arguing out of distrust and hatred.”

“When we’re not vibing….” Izzy, Sunny and Pipp trailed.

“It causes magic to become unstable throughout Equestria.” Zipp concluded. "And now its making Sarah and her birth parents lose their magic too!"

“But why are only Sarah and her birth parents growing weaker?” Pipp asked.

“Their Alicorns, who have the magic of all three pony kinds with distrust starting to spread again, its causing them to lose their magic. Her adoptive parents and godfather must be protected from this somehow since their magic is still working and James has Earth Pony Magic even though Posey said no other Earth Ponies don’t. And Posey may have made it worse saying things would have been better if Scarlet Nightmare and her doom posse were back and Sarah and her family were exiled!” Zipp theorized.

“So the reappearance of distrust is once again causing the Pegasi to lose their flight again and for the Unicorns to lose their magic again!” Tsukumaro gasped.

“Everything’s going out of wrack.” Zipp stated.

“Maybe…this has something to do with why the Crystals were separated all those years ago and why I can’t control my Alicorn magic yet.” Sunny breathed.

“I don’t know, but if we want to keep Magic, Sarah and her family in Equestria, first we need to get everypony back on the same page.” Zipp decided.

“Zipp’s right. We can’t give up. We can still make Bay Day the celebration its’ supposed to be.” Sunny smiled.

“Of friendship!”

“To honor our Pokemon, Dragons and Alicorn friends!”

“And Harmony~” Izzy, Hitch and Pipp grinned together.
