My little pony:Adventure of Seresia

“Oh my gosh..... I can’t believe I actually agreed to wear these clothes......” Rainbow Dash muttered to herself. If it weren't for the white mist surrounding her, everypony might have seen the look on Rainbow Dash's face that resembled someone who unexpectedly bit into a sour lemon, with her features twisted in discomfort. Every flap of her wings caused the sequins on her outfit to jingle against each other. To prevent her from accidentally flying outside the visible area of the ship while clearing the mist, a thick, long rope was wrapped around her waist, with the other end tied to the mast at the front of the ship.

“Be careful!! Rainbow Dash!! I'm counting on you for the next part!!!” Twilight's voice came from below, interrupting Rainbow Dash's thoughts. She turned her head and saw Twilight shouting from the ship's bow.

“Well, you all better keep up then!!” After saying this with tsundere, Rainbow Dash gave her mane a quick toss, decided to stop worrying about the parts on her outfit, and quickly got to work. As she flew out, the crew on the deck even felt a slight sway of the ship beneath their hooves.

As she began her task, Rainbow Dash quickly realized that handling the thick mist was proving to be far more challenging than managing dark storm clouds—much harder than she had anticipated. If the dark clouds could be considered a sponge soaked with water, the fog in front of her was like melting ice cream, sticky and challenging to clear away.

Soon, she discovered that using the airflow from flapping her wings and flying was actually easier for dispersing the mist than the traditional methods for removing dark clouds. Seeing this, Rainbow Dash decided to let loose and began performing various tricks in the air to blow away the mist.

As time went by, the fog ahead of the ship quickly gathered to the sides in a visible fast speed, following the dazzling flight path of Rainbow Dash. The ship's speed increased rapidly due to AppleJack's continuous effort to maneuver the downward control lever in the helm. Viewed from above, it looked like an icebreaker charging full speed across the ice plains. Not far ahead of them was the elusive ship of Feng Chen.

When Rainbow Dash spotted a vague figure in the mist, she exclaimed excitedly, "I see the ship!! It's right in front of us!!"

At this news, her friends scrambled to the bow of the ship, their hearts pounding in unison as the silhouette of the vessel gradually came into focus before them. Twilight Sparkle felt a rush of elation; she was desperate to confront Feng Chen right away. Yet, as always, her reason triumphed over impulse, compelling her to think of safety and strategy. It was crucial to board the ship with her friends rather than charge ahead alone.

As their ship gradually approached, Twilight sensed that something was wrong. The vessel, which had been trying to escape, now appeared to be a powerless machine, aimlessly drifting on the waves. The surrounding mist made it look quite eerie. Twilight frowned, worried that this could be a trap set by Feng Chen. However, there was no other choice; once the two ships were parallel,As the two boats aligned side by side, Twilight kept two ponys at the bow on standby while she and other friends carefully boarded Feng Chen's ship.

"Show yourself!! Feng Chen!!!" Twilight shouted while vigilantly scanning the area around her. Even as the mist thickened to the point of almost obscuring her vision, she knew Feng Chen was hiding in a corner, secretly watching them. No matter the reason for this ship's stop, may Princess Celestia bless her; she had to seize this rare opportunity.

"Don't struggle in vain!! Feng Chen, you're surrounded by the sea; you can't escape!!" Twilight called out again but received no response. So she turned to the companions beside her, and with just one glance, they knew her intent and stepped cautiously towards the helm. For speed considerations, the fast ship's overall structure was simple and functional, with only a necessary rail supporting the sails on the deck; the only places to hide the steeds were the helm at the back of the ship and the cabin beneath their hooves. If Feng Chen had hidden in the cabin, she would be cutting off her own escape route, since the only way to access the lower cabin was through the skylight on the deck.

Even if Feng Chen hid in the helm, that small space couldn’t provide much room for concealment. However, Twilight and the others turned the entire ship upside down and still couldn’t find any trace of Feng Chen. This even led Twilight to doubt whether she was chasing the wrong ship, wondering if this was just a vessel that looked highly similar. She stood there in the helm, scanning her surroundings without knowing how many times she had done so.

“Uh... Twilight?? I think we should go back to the ship now.” Just as Twilight was considering whether to scour one more time, Rainbow Dash pushed the door open and walked in. Her expression was somewhat grim as if she had discovered something unbelievable.

“What happened, Rainbow Dash???” Rainbow Dash did not immediately respond to Twilight's question but instead pulled her onto the deck and pointed at the sky not far away, saying:

“Princess Celestia above, I’ve never seen such a large area of dark clouds!! We need to leave quickly!!” Looking in the direction Rainbow Dash was pointing, the cloud mass in the sky appeared even darker than the storm clouds conjured by King Sombra. Just then, a loud clap of thunder sounded nearby, and they could vaguely see flashes hidden within the dark clouds. Following that, a strong wind howled in, nearly forcing everypony to shut their eyes. The once calm sea began to rise and fall with the wind shift, causing the ship to start swaying unsteadily.

Everything unfolded in a whirlwind of chaos; Twilight’s mind raced as she recalled Meng Yu’s urgent warning, echoing in her ears. She had drastically underestimated the storm’s ruthless approach, its ferocity unlike anything she had ever encountered at sea. Yet, amidst the rising panic, a flicker of hope emerged. The storm, while menacing, was still a considerable distance away, allowing them a precious moment to act.

Swiftly, Twilight sprang into action, her voice cutting through the rising winds as she rallied her friends. "We need to return to the ship! Now!" she instructed, urgency lacing her tone. Her friends scrambled onto the deck, adrenaline surging through them as they realized the gravity of the situation. With practiced efficiency, they maneuvered the sails and began to chart a course away from the impending doom, sailing into the vast white expanse that stretched tirelessly before them.

Behind them, the sky darkened ominously, thick clouds swirling like a menacing beast ready to unleash its fury. Each resonating clap of thunder rolled through the air, a noisy reminder of the storm’s impending arrival, sending shivers down their spines. Standing resolutely at the stern of the ship, Twilight felt a mix of dread and determination as she gazed skyward. The heavens twisted in shades of gray, with blinding streaks of lightning illuminating the darkening skies in a relentless dance. Her heart raced, pounding against her chest with every flash and rumble, resonating deep within as the weight of the storm loomed ever closer.

She prayed to leave this place quickly, but how could everything go as she wished? The storm was moving far faster than the ship, and just as they were attempting to escape, a large dark cloud appeared out of nowhere, bringing a new storm that cut off their retreat and seemed determined to bury them in twilight.

The fast ship beneath her hooves had turned into a mere plaything of the surging waves. The fierce splashes and torrential rain mixed together, following the rhythm of the lightning and violently striking the fragile hull. Everypony onboard could only cling tightly to the sturdiest object nearby, praying that neither they nor the ship would be overturned. They prayed for a miracle—that the storm would end soon and that everypony would be safe.

However, the one who needed a miracle the most, was Rainbow Dash. In the chaos of the sea spray, she had lost the pendant hanging around her neck, which she used to relieve her seasickness, before she could escape into the cabin. A strong wave of dizziness swept over her, and her hooves weakened, causing her to fall into the unfathomable, tumultuous waves as the next surge of water struck the ship.
