"If those surface dwellers can torpedo Seaquestria once they can definitely do it again." Princess Skystar of Skyquestria told her mother Queen Novo.
"Last time they tried that the city was destroyed but most of the population recovered from the blast and i'm pretty sure it's also the reason why we can talk, so if they tried something like that again it'll probably just give us another cool ability it's not like they could develop another improved version of the same weapon that actually capable of wiping out the population." Queen Novo countered
"What i'm trying to say is that why don't we just use the Pearl Of Transformation against the Storm King and his army." Skystar explained pointing a claw at said Pearl in her mother's grasp.
"Or it could end up in his greedy claws!" Novo lashed out clutching the Pearl tighter and closer to herself. "Look Skystar rebuilding a city and risking another bombing is still better than risking a invasion and slavery." the hippogriff concluded Skystar simply frowned "Didn't think i'll have to resort to this." She mumbled "Hey look flying chicken!"
"Hah hah, very funny" Novo said sarcastically in a unamused tone "I'm not falling for that trick agai-" she was interuppted by a chicken attacking her from behind causing the queen to drop the Pearl onto the floor. Skystar swooped in and grabbed it, she didn't get very far as her mother retaliated by flying in front of her and trying to take the artifact back.
During this tussel Skystar pushes Novo into a box of supplies cracking it a little, which the ladder counters by pushing Skystar in a generator. Both hippogriffs end up losing their grips on the oyster which results in both ending up on opposite sides of the safety bunker.
A stuffed toy fish suddenly fell on Skystar's head Oh i remember this thing the hippogriff thought examining it for a little bit before looking at the Pearl that was still in her grasp, this gave her and idea.
"Alright mom you want to return to the ocean, then i'll make you a full fish." Skystar said slowly walking towards her mother. "Sky i know you don't want to do this." Novo said nervously backing away from her daughter.
Skystar with very little hesitation rubbed the pearl which released a stream of light which engulfed Novo and once it cleared it revealed a small goldfish sized fish version of the seapony queen, right before the fish could hit the floor Skystar incased it in a bubble filled with water.
She was about to grab the bubble before looking at her claws which reminded her of how pointy they are. The hippogriff pulled a key out of her collar, opened one of the metal covered window and blew the bubble out with which was shortly blown away By the wind
Skystar looked At the bubble until it was out of sight “It’ll hit something eventually.” The princess thought.
“Welp time to win this war.” She stated replacing the cosmetic pearl in her regalia collar with the real one.
Present day
In a farm which by this point a was basically a wasteland existed a small house, the only inhabitants of this area was a trio of different creatures.
Twilight Sparkle a unicorn, Pinkie Pie a pony and Spike a dragon lived in the house with a cow outside to provide them with milk.
The trio were originally business partners they specialized in making clothing unfortunately due to the low quality of their products they didn’t make much of a profit.
Things only got worse once they were hit by a famine, the reason why their products were low quality was because they relied on a small patch of cotton plants so the famine ended up killing their crops.
Their business was shut down shortly after, they then sold their clothing making supplies and cattle, they spent most of it on expensive plates and silverware since they cared more about quality over quantity.
This was a huge waste of money cause they ending up having barely enough food to get by and since they never upgraded their house or got house repairs the place decayed and currently looked crooked.
The trio's current state of life was basically ration food, each one take turns walking miles to stay healthy and wear non sold clothing for as long as possible.
"Gotta remember precision, ration as much food as possible." a messy maned Twilight muttered before moving the knife over to the loaf of bread and start slowly slicing down it as she stared a Spike who looked like he was about to mentally snap and a flat maned Pinkie/Pinkamena, who were both sweating profusely onto their plates
When the trio still had their clothing business Twilight was the straight mare of the trio calm, confident and persistent. Spike was the assistant of the trio he was the most unlucky one often having to do most of the work himself which made him very short tempered. And finally Pinkie Pie was always the cheerful and positive one of the group having the most energy and even defying logic at times.
As for the current state of the trio, Twilight was often paranoid and nervous about resources and her friends. she knew it was only a matter of time before either they ran out of resources, her friends mentally snapping or both as in running out of resources would cause her friends to mentally snap.
Spike at first when this famine came and killed their cotton plants he was just frustrated and have an occasional anger outburst, but as time when on his anger started becoming anxiety and his outbursts became spazzing out from the lack of food and resources luckily none of these were actually that serious.
Pinkie at first she was trying to stay positive and energetic but just like Spike as time went on she became less positive, energetic and happy, she no longer smiled, her poofy mane and tail became flat and she started losing her pink coat color overtime which by this point had almost completely disappeared.
Twilight placed a transparent, paper thin slice of bread onto each of her friend’s plates which fell like a leaf. She then reached over and grabbed a canister with a faded label and when she opened and dumped it out, only a single medium sized bean came out.
And just like with the loaf of bread she cut paper thin, transparent, slices from the bean and then carrying them over to her friends' plates and then cutting another slice of bread and placing it on top of then bean.
Spike briefly looked and then picked up his paper thin, transparent, one bean sandwich he goes to take a bite before suddenly stopping, placing it back down onto his plate and getting an angered look on his face.
“THAT’S IT I CAN’T STAND IT!” Spike lashed out, he then proceeded to stack a bunch plates and silverware before chomping at them shattering the plates, bending the silverware and eventually getting a chunk of a broken plate and some silverware stuck in his mouth.
“Spike calm down!" Twilight says grabbing a hold of Spike's neck and head. "Get a hold of yourself!" Pinkamena adds taking the broken chunk of plate and the silverware out of his mouth. They both start speaking indistinctly, saying something along of the lines of calming down as they put Spike upside down and pulling his tail to help him become stable again, before putting him right side.
"I'll be alright, I'll be alright!" Spike repeated ,each time getting quieter, although he claimed he was alright he still had a crazed look in his eyes in he form of multiple color circle waves. He then spots\ted a axe hanging on the wall. Which grew a malicious smile on his face along with an even more malicious idea.
He then looked over to Twilight who seemed too distracted putting salt on her slice of bean, one grain at a time. When he looked over to Pinkamena he found her still staring at her paper thin one bean sandwich with the same sadden expression on her face.
With both of his former business partners, now housemates distracted he sneakily slid away from the table and got the axe.
Twilight was about to take a bite of her paper thin one bean sandwich before noticing the dragon missing.
"Spike!" The unicorn called out looking around before noticing the axe missing from the wall "SPIKE NO!!"
Twilight and Pinkamena looked out the window and saw Spike holding the axe behind his back and slowly approaching their last milking cow
"Here Bessie, Bessie." Spike repeated with the same crazed look on his face and eyes. When the trio still had all their cattle, there was a select few that they did name Twilight could tell this wasn't a named one, and the only reason Spike called this one Bessie was because it was the same type of cow a brown one, when they were selling their cattle the trio never really cared about what cows they sold as long as money was being made.
"Here you piece of beef!" Spike said before, completely losing it the multicolored circle waves in his eyes, disappear and were replaced by both his pupils turning red, he started swinging the axe wildly which scared the cow and caused it to grab onto a dead tree.
Spike grabbed the cow's tail but right before he could he could bring the axe down Twilight took it away from him, causing him to resort to biting the cow's tail. Twilight grabbed both of Spike's legs and tail in a attempt to pull him away from the cow. Once Pinkamena got into the mix, after a bit of struggling she had managed to restrain Spike by trapping his neck under a slingshot shaped dead branch.
"Sorry guys I've just gotta eat!" Spike claimed the crazed look gone, his pupils no longer red and the circle waves gone. Twilight heard his claim before looking at Pinkamena who simply gave the unicorn her same sadden look before looking down and dropping the branch. Pinkamena and Spike frowned before heading back towards the house leaving Twilight to ponder about their next move.
The next Twilight decided to make the most important decision that would ultimately decide their fate both economically and mentally in the sense of the trio's mental health.
"Alright you two, i'm gonna go into town and try to sell the cow." Twilight stated, the next thing she knew Pinkamena's mane inflated and poofed up a little and Spike looked a little mentally stable from hearing this news. Twilight then headed out the door which broke off it hinges when she opened it all the way, frustrated she threw it aside.
She tied a rope around the cow's neck but when she tried to pull it along, it didn't seem to want to go with her possibly because of yesterday's incident. Twilight then grabbed a handful of the grass that was still in the area and placed them down on a trail which got the trio's last milk cow moving and allowed Twilight to start her long walk to town for a potential buyer.
Although Spike was the only one in the trio that didn't wear shoes he suffered the least when compared to the 2 ponies. When they still owned their clothing business they didn't make or haves shoes since they weren't made out cotton so Twilight and Pinkamena had to put on small sacks and tie them around their feet with rope.
Things only got worse for the 2 ponies when the famine hit since they all had to walk miles to town Twilight's and Pinkamena's shoes would always either break or badly be damaged by the end of the walk due to things like rocks, plants or simply tearing overtime. Spike on the other hand didn't suffer a whole lot since his scales mainly protected him the hazards on the trail and diseases that could be caused by it.
When Twilight finally got to town with her shoes mostly intact, the first thing she noticed was that the town seem way bigger than she remembered and advanced with stuff like windmills and other contraptions. The second and bigger thing she noticed was that ponies and a few other creatures she never seen before were selling exotic looking creatures.
Once she saw how dangerous looking some of these ponies and creatures were, in the end she decided to wait for a potential buyer to come up to her instead of going up to them. After a while of walking she ended up taking a leap of faith, which was to go up to one of these ponies or creatures that looked friendly.
The unicorn settled on a random creature which in this case was brown Abyssinian cat wearing a red, patchwork coat. "Hey you with the coat, i'm selling this cow!" Twilight said quickly with all the confidence she could muster up.
"Hmm very interesting" The Abyssinian stated observing the cow "Tell you what instead of buy it how about-" he trailed off, slithering his tail behind a stand selling raw beans, and used it to grab a green chest with a not for sale sign, the sign falling off when he grabbed it.
The seller of the raw beans looked very strange although most of body and face was covered with clothing and accessories , he still resembled a pony with a muzzle and hooves.
"How about a trade" he said showing Twilight the chest "Trade me the cow for these-" he trailed off again breifly looking into the chest "Three magic beans, they'll grow into something amazing, even capable of saving a farm." he claimed showing the unicorn the beans.
As soon as Twilight heard the save a farm part, she knew she had found something amazing. These magic beans could do more than just sustain her and her friends for a while, it could sustain them for the rest of their lives and allow them to fully recover mentally and financially.
"I"LL TAKE IT!" Twilight announced handing the Abyssinian the rope tied to the cow followed by him handing Twilight the chest containing the beans.
"I think i just found something that'll magically erase all my debt!" the cat said briefly looking at the rope then observing the cow again.
"Hey look!" Pinkie showed Spike holding a plate with a metal cloche "Turkey, lobster, sweet potato pie, pancakes piled up till they reached the sky." the pony sung lifting the lid off and stacking imaginary pancakes, she held a high note "i'll eat and eat and eat and eat and eat until i die!" she said laying her head on the table.
"Lots of scorchers, lots of green lot of fancy chocolate covered-" she paused for a second "BEANS!" Twilight cut in "What do you mean beans?" Pinkie asked
"Yeah fellas I traded the cow for some magic beans!" Twilight said showing her friends the beans in the chest. As soon as Pinkie and Spike heard the news, the earth pony's mane deflated and became flat again and the hint of pink on her coat disappeared.
As for Spike his pupils turned red and started to look mentally unstable but instead of attacking someone, he instead jumped up hooked his tail and legs around a lamp and started pulling on and even ripped some of his scales off.
"But Spike these aren't just ordinary beans, they're magic beans plant them in the dirt and know what'll happen?" she asked "Yeah stupid dumb beans!" Spike countered back then by grabbing the open chest out of Twilight's hand and throwing it "NO SPIKE!" the beans bounced out and before Twilight could grabbed them they fell into a hole in the floor.
"STUPID BEANS!" Spike yelled "Great Twi now we have nothing." Pinkie stated, giving Twilight a sadden look before leaving the room with Spike, leaving Twilight to ponder about her decision to trade their last cow for 3 random beans. Perhaps the buyer was a con artist who tricked Twilight into thinking the beans were magic.
That night Twilight upstairs in her bed was still pondering about her decision and even started to tear up a little, knowing that they'll definitely run out of resources and her friends and at some point she will mentally snap since they were lot more unstable than the unicorn.
Meanwhile downstairs in the dining room, the moon came out from behind the clouds and when the light hit the beans it sprouted a small stem. But when the moonlight touched a collapsed stone structure a few miles from the trio's house it released a gust of golden dust which then blew itself to the house and when into the floor which caused the small stem to start growing at and alarming rate.
The stem had grown into a thick beanstalk and then started growing upwards which broke through the floor causing Twilight to shift her position in her bed but then the beanstalk broke through into the bedroom luckily none of the trio slept in the middle of the room so the beanstalk didn't uppercut their bed.
Although the beanstalk didn't touch any of the creature's beds the vines around it did it wrapped around and lifted their beds up as the beanstalk continued to grow, the vines would occasionally snap and drop the bed only for it to be caught by another vine.
Although the constant growth and dropping at some point did wake up each member of the trio up they just when back to sleep thinking it was just a dream. The beanstalk by this point had grown past the wispy clouds and seem to be heading towards a large solid looking cloud.
The next day when Twilight woke up she found herself staring at massive blades of grass, confused she rubbed her eyes to make sure she wasn't dreaming or hallucinating. Once she finished her reality check she looked around, taking in her surroundings, she found massive plants and flowers, a massive pond, lily pads and trees.
"Hey fellas wake up!" The unicorn exclaimed while trying to shake Spike awake. Once the dragon got up he rolled off the wrong side of his bed and as a result of Twilight not grabbing him in time he rolled over into the water. He quickly got out of the pond and then sprayed water in Pinkamena's face causing her to jump into the air and face plant into the ground.
"How did we get here?" Spike asked before looking at the pond trying to see what's on the other side. Twilight then walked over to the edge, where land seem to disappear and replaced by solid looking cloud when at the edge of the cloud she found piles of wood, and the top of the beanstalk guessing that the beanstalk grew through their house.
"See what did I tell you Spike the beans were magic after all!" Twilight said with a grin on her face, Spike simply rolled his eyes "Guess we can explore while we're here!" Pinkamena suggested brushing herself off.
Twilight plucked a massive leaf off a plant and grabbed a twig which to her was the size of a oar. The trio then used the leaf as a boat to get across the pond. Halfway through the pond they ended up being spotted by a giant dragonfly, the trio started screaming as they struggled to paddle to the other side using both the oar and their hands.
Right before the dragonfly would reach them a giant fish leaped out of the water and swallowed the dragonfly whole. As a result when the fish when dove back into the water it created a huge splash that knocked the leaf boat to the other side of the pond.
Pinkamena and Twilight ended up outside the boat, the earth pony with a chunk of the leaf in her mouth and Spike ended up inside the boat which was upside down, when he got out he sprayed water in the ponies' face "Well at least it wasn't a giant frog." the drake added
When the trio walked up a hill they found a giant stone castle nearby, it seem to be the biggest thing in this giant land. Pinkamena and Spike started processing this, they woke up in a giant land, where they found a giant castle and inside a giant castle must GIANT FOOD!
As soon as the earth pony and dragon processed this, Pinkamena mane's poofed up almost all they way and almost all her pink came back, she then started jumping around for joy. As for Spike he stopped looking messy and almost looked completely stable.
The trio of friends raced down the hill, and then started skipping over to the giant castle. Something they didn't notice when they spotted the castle and were currently looking at was 3 fish tanks, one small, one medium and one large each tank holding multiple colored fishes of that size.
As soon as the school of fishes in each tank saw the trio they all swam at the glass at an incredible speed and pressed their faces against it scaring g the creatures, after a while of the fishes and trio staring at each other Pinkie broke the silence "Get the feeling they're trying to communicate with us?" the earth pony asked
The creatures shrugged off the schools of fish staring at them and walked past the tanks as they were walking away the fishes' eyes, and eventually bodies followed, they eventually put there faces against the glass on the other side of the tanks and once the trio were out of sight the schools frowned and kept swimming around.
Once they arrived at the castle, Twilight knocked on the giant wooden door, after not getting a response from whoever was inside she putting her ear up to the door but didn't seem to hear anything due to the size of the door. She then spotted a crawl space under the door and entered through there.
Once inside they found giant furniture, they didn't pay too much attention to it though since what the trio was mainly looking for was giant plates of food. They eventually crashed into the leg of a giant table, the creatures scooted up the leg until they reached the platform which was the table and once their they found exactly what they were looking for giant food.
"FOOD!" Spike exclaimed excitedly before taking a bite of a giant piece of cheese. Pinkie bounced over to a plate of pink gelatin she first took a bite of a small piece of gelatin which was still big, about half the size of her body. She then bounced and started jumping on the giant piece of gelatin before diving head first into it eating into the middle.
Twilight grabbed a oversize knife, took it over to some meat and sliced a piece of it off before taking a bite, it was of course way harder since it required both her hands, pretty heavy and required a lot of persistence. Spike took a bite of a giant scoop of ice cream only to get a brain freeze, he then breathed out a fireball to slightly melt it and bring it to an appropriate temperature.
Pinkie once she had eaten to the bottom of the middle, she then found string candy connected to the giant piece of gelatin, she shoved it in her mouth and somehow managed to slurp it up like a noodle. Speaking of noodles Twilight grabbed another oversize utensil in this case a fork, and used it to grab some spaghetti by wrapping it around the fork.
Spike climbed to the rim of a giant fruit punch bowl and used a straw to slurp some of it, Pinkie then ran over grabbed a bigger straw and used it as a waterside to the punch. The trio then ran to the same thing which was what they assumed was fried chicken, it had the shape of chicken and it smelled a lot different.
"Never smelled this kind of chicken before." Twilight commented before take a bite "Meh it's alright!" she added which was basically a okay sign to her friends to start digging in. Out all the giant pieces of food on the table the biggest of them all was A Triple Layer Vanilla, Strawberry, Chocolate Ice Cream Cake.
The trio looked in awe at the cake, licking their lips before racing over to it and taking huge bites of it. After a while of eating which had taken a good chunk of the ice cream cake out, Twilight heard hoof steps which was strange since she thought no one lived in this castle.
When she looked over she saw the giant silhouette of a creature, it wasn't anthro looked like a horse, it also seemed to have a beak and feathers.
"Fellas we better hide!" Twilight warned her friends, as soon as Spike and Pinkie saw the silhouette, it started moving sending the trio into a panic they crashed into each other before scrambling out of the cake and hiding behind a nearby pot.
The creature came out of the shadows revealing it to be Princess Skystar of the hippogriffs. Turns out that once she turned her mother Queen Novo into a fish and vanished her to the ocean she used the Pearl of Transformation to defeat the Storm King and win the war and turning herself giant was her most common tactic.
After the war the hippogriffs returned to Mount Aris, unfortunately the power of the Pearl basically mentally corrupted Skystar so as a result she turned herself giant, turned almost the entire hippogriff population into fishes, destroyed Mount Aris, put them in tanks and took them back to the clouds.
Skystar hummed a tune as looked at her pocket watch which had a female pink normal sized hippogriff inside using one claw as the second hand and the other as the hour hand.
"Tick, tock, tick tock!" the pink hippogriff repeated over and over again.
Skystar put the pocket watch on her shelf before walking over to her dining table she examined her food to check for any chunks missing starting which the piece of cheese. "Okay not much missing from here must've been the bugs!" Skystar stated
When she examined the rest of her food and got to the food like the pink gelatin, meat, ice cream, spaghetti, string candy, fried meat and especially the cake she was surprised and confused about how much of that food had been eaten, there was chunks of them missing, "What the bugs never eat this much of my food."
"Fee fi fo fum!" Skystar randomly said before sniffing around the table and eventually lifting the pot the trio were hiding behind causing them to all run in different direction "I smell...grapes with cotton candy and fried chicken yum!" she then picked up a knife and fork.
She first sliced the piece of cheese Pinkie was hiding behind leaving only half if it, Twilight hid inside a part of the turkey only for Skystar to grab the piece the unicorn was hiding behind which was the turkey leg. The giantess then used a fork to grab shredded pieces of purple and green lettuce and once she was done the only pieces she didn't grab was Spike who tried to camouflage himself with the vegetables.
Skystar then started seasoning the sandwich she had just made with pepper, but this just resulted in Twilight sneezing and revealing herself to the giant hippogriff. Skystar got angry, her blues eyes turning red and went for a bite of her sandwich in a attempt to eat the unicorn but right before she took the bite Twilight jumped out of the sandwich.
"GET BACK HERE You can't get away from Skystar!" The hippogriff said pridefully, she slapped a claw down on the table which failed to grab the lavender pony. This allowed Twilight to make it to the other side of the table but right before she could jump off the edge, Skystar used the pearl in her regalia collar to turn her claw into a tentacle and grabbed the unicorn.
"I'VE GOT YA!" Skystar said looking into the tentacle, once she put it very close to her eye, Twilight poked the giantess with her horn, causing her to fall onto a cutting board.
"WHY YOU-" the hippogriff trailed off before turning the tentacle into a giant meat tenderizer, she underestimated the weight of it cause when the lifted it up it fell behind her causing her to turn around struggle to pick it up, before realizing she could just change it back.
"Hey here's an idea how about you turn into a-" Twilight trailed off taking advantage of the princess' incompetence before landing her eyes on a fly swatter "A FLY!"
"What type of fly, wings?" the princess asked before spreading her wings "No the big that can fly" the unicorn said before signalling her friends with her arm to come over. As Skystar was trying to remember was a fly looked like the trio made their way to the fly swatter and picked it up,
"Oh i remember now!" Skystar said singsongly before turning herself into a giant fly. "NOW!" Twilight said as the three of 3 brought down the fly swatter only for it to be caught by Sky-Fly, snapped in half and thrown aside, followed by the fly turning back into her original form.
"Wait a second i know what this is you 3 Grapes, Cotton Candy and Fried Chicken wanted me to turn into a fly so you can kill me." Skystar put together then grabbing the trio before they could do anything, took them away from the table and flew over to a door.
The trio of creatures suddenly found themselves in a giant kitchen, that looked a lot more advanced than the rest of the castle and even the entirety of the town back on the ground. Skystar placed Twilight and her friends on a plate and put a glass cover over it, although it had air holes none of them were big enough to escape through.
Skystar then took the lid off a fish tank, pulled a live fish out, a knife and decapitated it throwing the head away and then the body into a deep fryer. For the next fish she tried using the knife to peel the skin and scales off, but since it wasn't very efficient she placed it aside and used a scalp instead, once that was done she threw that fish onto a pan.
"She probably has something equally bad planned for us." Twilight said before looking at Pinkie who was currently bouncing around the place, followed by her walking over to the unicorn. "Look Twi I've changed meaning that i won't be negative anymore, look on the bright side at least we get to go out in a creative way."
"And by that you mean be cooked into a giant hippogriff's meal and then eaten." Spike countered as the trio watched as Skystar walked over to a counter with a bunch of bread ingredients, she then grabbed pepper shaker with a twisting handle "This should grind their bones up just right! Now where did i put that recipe book?"
"You know Twi this is probably the worst luck I've no we've ever had first of all you trade our last milk cow for three beans that actually turned to be magic now were here caught by a giant hippogriff and about to get our bones grinded to be baked into bread. I actually had some life plans if we we're able to get ourselves out of a famine, find a marefriend, go on adeventures maybe even become a brother in law well guess now I cancel all those plans." Spike stated
"Well guess what Spike I didn't think the beans in magic as in unicorn magic or a teleportation, or a giant beanstalk that leads in a giant land, I thought the buyer meant they'll just into a bunch of crops." Twilight responded, this angered Spike who then breathed a stream of fire at the glass in frustration which didn't do anything against the glass lid.
Twilight then tried to use her telekinesis on the lid to no avail. She sighed accepting the fact that they won't get out of this no matter what they do. When she leaned against the glass it seem to scoot over a little and it didn't make a sound, knowing this she signaled her friends to come over and the trio eventually moved the lid to the edge of the table where they jumped down.
Turns out they put more of the lid on the edge than on the table so as a result the glass lid fell off and hit the floor breaking. "WHAT THE!" Skystar said turning around finding shattered glass all over the floor and catching 3 of her living ingredients trying to escape.
"Get back here you rascals!" Skystar said as she chased after the trio out of the kitchen and into the actual castle. They decided not to go for the front door and instead for a nearby hallway. Skystar grabbed a slingshot off a shelf and started shooting bird toys at them, eventually she ran out of bird having to stop to reload allowing the trio to hid behind a corner, Pinkie placing a hoof out.
"Pinkie you can't trip her she's the size of a building." Twilight complained trying to move Pinkie aside. Skystar having lost the 3 creatures threw the slingshot and bird toys aside and dashed forward, although neither of her claws touched the earth pony's hoof one of her hind hooves did which caused Skystar to trip and faceplant onto the floor.
"Come on you 2!" Twilight said as they ran over, and climbed a coat rack with a trench coat on it by scooting up it, they hoped the giantess didn't see them.
"Think i gotta brush this dust out of my feathers." the hippogriff princess muttered before reaching into the pocket of the trench coat and pulled out a brush, she counted a few strokes while brushing feathers before spotting the creatures on the coat rack.
This sent her into a rage her eyes going from blue to red again she grabbed the trench coat off the rack, ripping it in the process, she tried to multi-task with her claws but she eventually lost track and the ponies and dragon seem to have escaped.
She then heard a loud bang which seem to come from inside her head, she then used the pearl to make her eyes go all the way to the back of her head.
"Why don't you 2 watch where you're going." Spike complained which echoed inside the hippogriff's head. "Hey what are you rascals DOING IN MY HEAD!" Skystar yelled which echoed even louder than the dragon's complaint.
"Not a chance!" Twilight responded "Fine if you 3 won't come out i'll blow you out!" Skystar claimed before reaching into the coat again, grabbing 2 ear plugs, a bubble pipe and a box of matches she then plugged her ears, put the pipe in her mouth but right before she could light it which would start boiling the water and releasing bubbles, Twilight blew out the match.
Annoyed she tried again only for the match to be blown out by Spike, she discarded the match and lit another one which was then blown out by Pinkie. This kept on going for a while, eventually Sky was left with only one match, she was about to light it before finally putting together what was going on, she took the bubble pipe out of her mouth and ripped it open revealing the trio inside.
The 2 ponies and single dragon them zipped away they ran back into the dining room, they then climbed up a smaller pink table while it still took a little bit of time to climb it was still way shorter compared to the dining table. Once they got to the top they found a toy train, tracks, a chest of doll accessories and 2 pony dolls.
The first doll was a yellow pegasus with a pink mane wearing a cowboy outfit and for some reason had a mustache drawn on its face. The second doll was a white unicorn with a dark purple mane wearing a dress and tied to the toy train tracks with a single piece of tape.
Skystar checked her pocket watch with the pink hippogriff inside, her eyes widen before placing the watch back on the shelf. She then walked over to pink table and unknowingly grabbed Twilight, Spike and Pinkie.
The hippogriff dressed the earth pony in a conductor outfit over her normal clothes and placed her inside the toy train, she then dressed the unicorn and dragon in cowboy outfits over their normal clothes and placed them on the table, she then turned on the toy train and set the speed on slow.
Twilight wondered how the giant hippogriff princess didn't notice them she then looked to the side and next to the chest of doll accessories was a chest of pony and dragon dolls.
Skystar then grabbed a hold of the pegasus doll in front of Twilight "You're too late Drago-Bullet!" the hippogriff said speaking for said doll, she then picked up Twilight "The train arrives in 1 minute! you'll never save her now!"
"Oh help me "Drago-Bullet!" Skystar said speaking for the unicorn tied to the train tracks, before lifting the purple dragon "Oh yeah well i have a secret weapon and it's called FIRE!" Skystar spoke for Spike before pulling his tail which would usually activate mechanism in dragon dolls which would release a plastic fireball but in this case it released a real stream of fire it melted the pegasus doll and just barely missed Twilight.
Skystar's eyes turned red again, she slapped a claw down on the table again barely missing the unicorn and dragon. Twilight then derailed the toy train Pinkie was in and quickly got out of their, right before they jumped off the table they took off the outfits that were luckily just put over their original clothes since the trio didn't want to run around with those silly outfits.
They ran back over to the dining table where they hid behind on of the table's legs. When Skystar dashed by, Spike placed a foot out and just like last time with Pinkie once one of the princess' hind hoof touched it she tripped and face planted onto the floor.
The creatures then sneaked behind Skystar and were heading for the front door only to suddenly be grabbed by the bird's tail. "Ha, didn't think I could do that did ya!" she taunted
She then brought the trio from her tail to her claw and then walked over to a chest on her dining table, she opened it but right before she could put the trio inside Twilight managed to escape the hippogriff's grasp, she then locked the chest with a key and placed it in her regalia collar.
She then checked her pocket watch with the pink female hippogriff inside, once she placed it back on the shelf she walked over to a pet bed before pressed her claws and hind hooves on the bed before resting on it like a cat. Seeing and opportunity Twilight planned to simply climb up the sleeping giantess, before deciding on a more tactical approach.
She then climbed up to a shelf and scanned it for something useful and laid her eyes one on a giant spool of thread. She tied it around her waist and walked to the edge, it was a long drop but she knew it was either this or getting caught and eaten by Skystar.
See closed her eyes and walked off the edge of the shelf, she also made sure to cover her mouth to stop herself from screaming. Right before she touched the floor of the regalia collar she grabbed the 2 side which luckily didn't make a sound, she then noticed how close the giant key was to the side meaning that if she messed up the giantess would wake up and catch her.
After a lot of planning, tactics and attempts and a bunch of precision, Twilight eventually found the right method and managed to slide the key out of the collar, she placed it around her neck and used the thread to pull herself, what she didn't know was that pulling herself back up to the self would use more thread jumping off the shelf.
So right before she could pull herself all the way up to the shelf the spool ran out of thread, Twilight reacted fast and used the key which was just barley tall enough to reach the shelf.
"You see her?" Pinkie asked bouncing inside the chest "I don't but i know she'll come back for us." Spike claimed before suddenly being hit in the face by the giant key. Shortly after than Twilight slowly and quietly got both her friends out of the chest.
As Spike and Pinkie climbed down the table Twilight, who was still on the dining table tripped on a tea cup coaster causing her to flip the cup and spoon over, the tea cup breaking in half and the spoon loudly rattling, and of course this woke Skystar up.
The giant hippogriff eyes turned red again, as she turned her claw into a giant meat tenderizer and brought it down on the unicorn even though the tenderizer directly hit her she ended up between the spikes which allowed her to escape from under it.
"HEY YOU GET BACK HERE!" Skystar yelled as Twilight climbed onto the giant cork of a bottle before opening it which launched her out a nearby window, and skipped across a small pond, right before Skystar brought down the tenderizer which shattered the glass bottle.
The giant hippogriff crashed right through the castle wall which injured both her wings and also made the foundation of the stone structure. She then slammed both her claws down which resulted in a bunch rock spikes coming out of the ground and almost reaching Twilight.
While Pinkie and Spike were already climbing down the beanstalk unaware that the giantess was after them, they still knew they had to chop down the beanstalk. The unicorn on the other hand hid behind a tree and when the hippogriff ran by she placed a hoof out and just like the other 2 times when one of her hind hooves touched it she fell and faceplanted onto the grass.
Twilight had finally made onto the beanstalk and slide down it as Skystar still enraged climbed after her. Once she had climbed to the bottom she found Pinkie trying to chop down the beanstalk with a axe heated up by Spike's fire. The unicorn grabbed Spike, pulled his tail, and he released a stream of fire that managed to cut down the beanstalk.
As Skystar fell the trio hid under what remained of their house that was destroyed by the beanstalk, and when the hippogriff hit the floor i knocked them away. But it wasn't over cause when Twilight looked up she found giant stone blocks falling from the clouds.
With no protection they all kind of just ran around, eventually the giantess pocket watch fell along with the 3 sized fish tanks and the crowded fish tank from the kitchen. As soon as the ladders touched the ground and shattered, it revealed that the pink hippogriff inside wasn't a part of the clock and was actually alive.
As for the schools of fish instead of flopping around they instead transformed back into hippogriffs which explained why they were staring at the trio earlier. The next thing that happened was really unexpected no something didn't fall from the clouds but instead the pony selling raw beans from town flew over to the place, he then took off all his accessories revealing that he wasn't a pony but a purple hippogriff with a light blue mane.
"I was wondering where those magic beans went I'm Seapspray!" the hippogriff said which got him confused looks from the trio "The military leader of the hippogriffs during the war." he added which didn't change the creatures expressions "I was at some point part of the nation leaders along side Bulletproof and Frostbite."
"Oh I remember now!" Twilight said "Wait so why do you have magic beans?" she asked
"Well you see the amount of power Skystar had with the pearl basically mentally corrupted her, after she destroyed Mount Aris, turned almost the entire population into schools of fish, and took just back into the clouds she had plans to conquer all of Equestria so I created a spell that'll look her away in the clouds but the spell couldn't be completed without a key and since Mount Aris had already been destroyed I've decided on 3 random beans." Seaspray explained
"Now come on every griff lets go try and negotiate with the other 2 leaders of Equestria." The military griff said before flying off.
"Is she dead?" Pinkie asked walking over to the fallen giantess, Twilight then put her ear up to the giant hippogriff's chest "Nope, heart still beating, I wonder-" the unicorn trailed off, she reached for the pearl in the princess' regalia collar but when she did jelly fish tentacles wrapped around her body and started shocking her, when Pinkie and Spike tried to help, the dragon somehow got electrocuted by one and Pinkie and squeezed by one.
Twilight eventually manged to pried the Pearl Of Transformation out of the collar and once she did it shrunk back to it's original size about the size of a football. When she rubbed it a small stream of light came out and when i hit a dead crop it turned it into a plant that sprouted a single tomato.
She saw and opportunity here she then continued to rub it and eventually they restored the entire farm the grass was green, the water was back and clean and finally all the food crops and cotton plants were. In the end the trio decided to turned the ground under Skystar into a cloud which then floated up and took her back into the clouds.
While Spike and Pinkie were in town selling food crops, tomatoes, potatoes, corn etc Twilight had decided to mark some things off her bucket list she was currently on go fishing and the first fish you catch you keep as a pet. She made a fishing rod out of a stick and string and used a worm as a bait.
After a while of waiting Twilight felt something tugging on the rod, since this fishing rod was homemade she couldn't reel it in so she had to pull on the stick. When she successfully pulled the fish out of the water it was small, not what the unicorn expected it was a white fish with a purple fins.
"Oh aren't you a cool looking fish think i'll name you Nova!" Twilight exclaimed before putting the small fish into a plastic bag.
