"Thank you, Flounder." said Angel. "I'm glad you come along."

"You're welcome." said Flounder. "I will never leave your side."

We all got our color back, good for us.

"What do we do now?" Seashell asked.

"Don't worry, everypony." I say. "With God's help, we can solve this problem."

Then suddenly, the dungeon doors began to open. It was an innocent angler fish named Freshman wanting to help us.

"Hi, seaponies." Freshman said. "I'm here to free and help you."

"Why?" Sheldon asked.

"I've never want to be evil. I want to be friends with you all and have a good life."

"Thank you, Freshman." said Angel.

"Come on, everypony. Let's go save the ocean!" I say.

Shelby was harnessing the magic she'd stole into her body, making herself more powerful. It was like when the evil alicorn named Opaline had stole fire from the dragons and cutie marks from us ponies. But then with what magic we had left, we defeated her got Equestria back in peace.

When Shelby was finally powerful, she was ready to conquer the ocean.

"Finally I got the power I needed." said Shelby. "Now, I can rule the whole ocean!"

"Not so fast!" I say.

Shelby was surprised and angry to see us, when she turned around.

"What? How did you all escape?" grumbled Shelby.

"I let them out, Shelby." said Freahman.

"Freshman, how dare you? And how did you all get your color back?"

"A hero never reveals his or her secrets." said Glory.

"Well, you're too late! I have the magic, and now I will conquer the ocean!"

"You may have our physical magic, but we forever carry within us, the most powerful, most important, most heart warming magic of all. The Magic of Friendship!" I said.

"And, I have my own power within me, the Power of Love." said Angel. "Throughout the years, my mom taught me that love makes your heart bigger and bigger and it can overcome anything."

Me and the other defenders joined hooves together, including the Pippsqueaks and our seapony friends. Our friendship made our magic active. Our manes and tails began to have rainbow looks. For Angel, she began to share her love as her heart began to glow brighter. And then, our friendship power, combined with Angel's love power, gave her a beautiful makeover. Her mane became more longer and has different colors of the rainbow, she was wearing silver, glittery bracelets, and a silver shell tiara. Angel was all powered up, she blasted her magic at Shelby. Then, the magic took all the stolen magic out of her, and it made her lair and the whole place around into a beautiful paradise. It turned all the angler fish into lovely rainbow fish. And then all of the sudden, some magic seaweed wrapped around Shelby and pulled her into a small space, trapping her forever.

When the magic of friendship and love was done, all the dark magic was finally gone. We saved Mt. Aris, Seaquestria and the ocean.

"Whoa, look at this whole place. It's so beautiful." said Peach Fizz.

"The cave became so sparkly and colorful." said Seashell.

"And, the angler fish turned into friendly fish." said Glory.

"Who would've thought the whole creepy, scary place turn into something this beautiful?" Zion Zooplank asked.

"With God's help and a little magic of Unity, we can make everything beautiful in God's way." said Ellagant Glare.

"And Princess Angel Adella, look at you." said Pearl Popps. "Your jewelry and your mane are lovely. The seaponies and Hippogriffs loved you very much."

"Thank you, ponies." said Angel." I've never felt more proud. And, my heart feels so much bigger then before."

"Princess Angel." said Grey. "Thank you for all your love and kindness."

"Yeah, this new opportunity is so much better." said Black.

"My pleasure." said Angel. "For now on, we will make peace with each other and keep the ocean safe and sound."

All the fish agreed to Angel's advice. Flounder came up to his girlfriend to talk to her.

"Angel, great job." he said. "You always had it in you the whole time."

"All because you were here." said Angel. "Thanks, everypony, it's time to head back to Mt. Aris."

We said our goodbyes to our new fish friends and used the Seaquestria Current to head back.

Hours later, our quest was finally over, and we, along with Angel, Flounder, Sheldon, Zion, Pearl were back to Mt. Aris. Queen Skystar saw us back home, she ran over to her daughter and gave her a big hug.

"Angel, my daughter, your finally home!" Skystar said joyfully. "And so are the rest of our friends."

"Everypony and every griff is safe and sound, your majesty." said Flounder.

"We defeated Shelby. And now, Mt. Aris, Seaquestria and the whole ocean is saved." I say.

"Well done, all of you." said Skystar as she was pleased.

"And mother, I've never felt more proud." said Angel. "Since I cared for our subjects, they give me love and hope for me to be a great queen. You taught me to be grateful, forgiving, loving, honest, obedient, selfless, kind, generous, loyal, patient, trustworthy, helpful, confident, and more graceful. Our pony friends taught me that too, I'm glad to have a great mother like you."

Skystar was more pleased by her daughter's words.

"I am so proud of you." said Skystar. "I do believe you are ready."

Then, Skystar began to do something surprising.

"Please kneel." she told her daughter.

Angel obeyed as she was kneeling down. We were all watching what was happening to her.

"You have completed all of your lessons and even cared about our homes by saving us. So, I am now making you the new queen of Mt. Aris and Seaquestria."

Skystar took the queen's crown off her head and put it on Angel's head. Angel is now queen. We all bowed down and showed respect and love for her.

"Well done, your majesty." I say. "You did great all along."

"I couldn't agree more." said Ellagant Glare.

"You're totally my favorite queen, now." said Scarlet Tomato.

Angel thought of something. She ordered a guard to go grab awards for us.

"For you, defenders, you have all done a very brave thing by standing up to Shelby. Equestria is really, really lucky to have heroes like you."

The guard returned with the awards for us.

"How many of you are there?" Angel asked.

"There are sixty-six of us." I say. "Only forty-eight of us are living in Equestria."

"Got it. I award you ponies with your very own pearl fragments. Be sure to give the rest to your friends."

We grabbed our own fragment of the magic pearl, even the Pippsqueaks get one. We can now transform back and forth and travel on both land and sea.

"And best of all, we will forever have an on going friendship in the first time in forever." said Angel.

"Thank you, your majesty." I say. "And, I have something for our three Hippogriff friends."

I stepped in front of Sheldon, Zion, Pearl and started to talk to them.

"Sheldon Seahorse, Zion Zooplank, and Pearl Popps. You three have done a brilliant, brave and heroic job for joining us and helping us save your homes. So, would you like to be part of the team?"

The Hippogriff children were surprised to hear my request.

"Of course, Special." said Sheldon.

"We love to." said Zion.

"More than anything." said Pearl.

I took out some sashes with membership badges pinned onto them. And, one by one, I placed the sash on their shoulders and around their chests.

"You have shown great heroism, you are now official members of the Great Defenders of Friendship. Welcome aboard!"

Everypony cheered for the new heroes. We now have made peace with the Hippogriffs and seaponies for the first time ever since. And, Equestria has their very first Hippogriff/seapony heroes.

Then, Queen Angel began to speak with Flounder Finn.

"As for you, Flounder Finn," Angel said. "I have to say that you are my very special one. You protected me during the quest, you did all the fun activities with me, and you lifted my spirits, when I feel down. You made my heart feel super happy. Thank you for being my boyfriend."

She and Flounder started to hug romantically. We were all watching and been moved by the whole scene. Then suddenly, something else was about to happen. Something really, really amazing. Flounder Finn was kneeling down and started to say some words to his girlfriend.

"Queen Angel Adella," Flounder said. "ever since we met each other at high school, we became close friends. Then, we started dating for years. Right now, I have to say: I love you for being you. I love you with all my heart. I love you on land and sea, you are my soulmate, my sparkle in my eyes, my beautiful angelfish. I will spend the rest of my life you."

Then, he pulled a small box holding an engagement ring inside."

"Will you marry me?" Flounder asked.

Angel was crying with joy, as she knew he would ask her for marriage.

"Yes, I will." Angel said with tears of joy.

We all cheered, when Angel accepted Flounder's proposal. Flounder placed the engagement ring around Angel's neck. Then, they started to kiss. Skystar was feeling more proud for her daughter finally having her own husband. After years of waiting, Angel got what she wanted.

"Congratulations." I say. "I knew you would get your true love."

"All because you said so, Special." said Angel. "Thank you."

"We did it, defenders. We have finally finished Operation: Creature Reunion. We've become friends with every creature around the world."

"We sure did." said Bumble Barry.

"We'd finally got every creature together with ponies ever since." said Joydan Gallop.

"Right now, it is time for us, ponies, to go home." I say.

"Goodbye." we all said to our Hippogriff friends.

"Good luck going home, kids." said Flounder.

"We'll give you the invitation to our wedding." said Angel.

"We'll miss you." said Pearl.

We packed up our stuff and storage them into our RVs. We started the engines, and we have lift off, heading back to Equestria.
