My Little Pony: God's Love Under the Sea

Chapter 10: Sponges and Tunnels and Whales. Oh My!

We defenders and seaponies were at our campsite to rest after all the fun we had. To help us warm underwater during nighttime, Sheldon, Zion, and Pearl brought yellow pearls that glows in the dark and keeps us warm, good enough for a camp out underwater. Everypony began to go to sleep, but for Princess Angel, she had her thoughts on how to make her boyfriend her husband. When I see her, I decided to have her company.

"Your Highness?" I asked.

"Oh. Hi, Special." Angel said back. "Please call me Angel."

"What's the matter?"

"Well, I'm just worried, I guess." Angel answered. "I made Flounder my boyfriend, expressed my feelings about him, and we've been on lots of dates, even after we graduated from college, but I want to marry him. I want him to ask me. I want him to be my future king, What if I loose him forever, when Shelby wins?"

"Angel, it'll be okay." I told Angel to comfort her. "I'm sure Flounder will ask you eventually."

"I just don't want to loose my true love. I know you and your friends are great helpers, but who is more helpful whenever I'm in a big jam?"

"Well, I always know one, who will help any creature."

"Who?"

"God. Ho knows everything."

"So, what can I do then?"

"All you have to do is pray. Praying is the only way to talk to God."

I rejoined the others and began to sleep for the night. Angel started to think about what I told her. So, she swam way up to the surface, climbed onto a wet rock, and started to pray.

"God, are you there?" Angel asked in prayer.

"Always, Angel." God said.

"God, do you know that Flounder Finn loves me? I mean he did say he loved me, but I don't to loose him."

"I do. I saw you the whole time from when you invited Flounder to your birthday party to the time when you made him your boyfriend after college. All you have to do is believe, and Flounder will be your husband."

"Yes, God." Angel said before she dove back underwater.

The very next morning, the sun began to rise up as the sunlight starts to reflect on us. We all woke up and started to pack up.

"Good morning, everypony." I say. "Another perfect day for our quest."

After we finished packing up our stuff, we started to continue our journey.

What we didn't notice, is some angler fish were hiding behind the coral, watching us. At Shelby's hideout, Shelby was observing us from her magic bubble.

"I can't believe those ponies from Equestria." Shelby grumbled. "They're so unstoppable, even when they're foals. Well, I believe it's time for me take matter in my own fins."

Shelby ordered her angler fish to ready the traps to capture us.

"Seaquestria and Mt. Aris will be mine. And then, I will conquer the rest of the world for good!" Shelby said before she let out an evil laugh.

For me my friends, we made it to the Field of Spongepop. It was filled with lots of bouncy sponges, all fish and seaponies would have fun by bouncing on sponges, but sometimes they might get hurt whenever they missed. The field also had small caves as shortcuts. Whenever they enter a cave, they entered another part of the field.

"Here we are, the Field of Spongepop." said Flounder.

"This looks fun." said Zion Zooplank.

"The best way to get to the end of the field is to bounce on the sponges, go into the caves, and then we made it." said Angel.

"Okay everypony, let's bounce!" I say.

All of us started to bounce up and down, and it was fun.

"Oh yeah! This is a blast!" said Sheldon Seahorse.

"Come on, friends. This way." said Pearl Popps.

We all bounced tot he other end of one part of the field, entered a cave, which lead us to another part of the field. We bounced one by one, then we made it to the other side of the field.

"Alright, that's was so much fun." said Fearful Moe.

"Let's do that again." said Bumble Barry.

"Now, now, it was fun, but we have to keep swimming." I say.

We continued swimming across the ocean.

A few minutes later, we entered the Blue Whale Territory. We started looking for the blue whales, but there was no luck, just lots and lots of sand on the ocean floor.

"Nothing yet." said Tangerine Twist.

"Don't worry I'm sure we'll find some whales." said Angel.

But, we just need to rest for a few minutes after the fun from the Field of Spongepop. We were laying down on the sand.

"Well everypony, in case you didn't know, I've spent my days on land, but being underwater sure looks cool." said Zion Zooplank.

"I sure love swimming underwater." said Cloudy Carla.

"You know, my dad wanted to find a sea-turtle when he was a teenager." I say. "He knows that sea turtles could live for fifty to a hundred years. Maybe before this adventure is over, I'll find a turtle and ask how old it was for my dad."

"I'm sure you will." said Pearl Popps.

When we were all still laying on the ocean floor, some enormous shadows were coming over us. When I looked at what was making them, it was a big pod of blue whales.

"Hey everypony, I think I've found the whales." I say.

We all swam up toward the whales and joined them.

"Excuse us, whales." I say to get their attention.

"Yes, little seapony?" asked a whale named Marina.

"Are you the blue whale pod we're supposed to find?"

"Well of course." Marina said. "Why looking for us?"

"We're chasing down an evil sea witch named Shelby."

"All we need to do now, is to find and go through the Sea-Foggy Clouds." said Scarlet Tomato.

"Can we join you?" Daytime Darwin asked.

"Of course you can. Anything for little heroes." Marina said. "Ride on our fins."

We got onto the whales' fins, before they started swimming. The blue whales can swim in about thirty per hour, which is enough speed for us.

"Whales are so cool." said Joydan Gallop.

The whales were swimming towards the Sea-Foggy Clouds, it may take a while. When i looked down, I could no longer see the ocean floor. We were all very high up.

"Wow, we're very high up from the ocean floor." I say. "We're now in a deeper part of the ocean."

"Don't worry, we'll be okay as long as we stay together." Flounder Finn said.

The whales were now approaching the Sea-Foggy Clouds. It was all covered in thick underwater fog. Luckily, the blue whales have echolocation, a sensory ability that uses sound to locate objects like shorelines, underwater obstacles, and other underwater creatures.

"There's the Sea-Foggy Clouds." said Seashell.

"All you seaponies stay on our fins." Marina told us. "We'll use our echolocation to get through the sea fog."

As the whales entered the fog, they began to use their echolocation. The fog was so thick, me, my friends, and the other seaponies couldn't see a thing. But, we stayed onto the whales' fins. It took five minutes, but we'd finally reach the other side.

"Alright, we made it to the other side." said Zion Zooplank.

The whales were still swimming to help us get to Shelby. The last location we have to take is the Seaquestria Current. It was the longest water current ever of the entire ocean. Luckily, the whales have found it.

"Alright, seaponies. There's the current. That's your next location." said Marina.

"Thank you for your help." I say.

Then, the whales leave, while we, seaponies, continue swimming by ourselves on our quest.

Author's Note

Our heroes bouncing on sponges was a reference from "Finding Nemo: the video game." And the name Spongepop was pretty close to Spongebob.

My Little Pony: God's Love Under the Sea

Prologue: The History of Queen Skystar

Hello everypony, it's Special Hoof. Last time you heard from me, you heard the last two stories I read to you: one about how the Great Defenders of Friendship were born, and the other about how me and my friends got lost in a mythical, entertaining city. But now, I'm gonna tell you a new story, it's about how me and my friends saved two kingdoms outside of Equestria and helped two royal friends get together. And, here it is.

It started a really long time ago. Our story starts at a place far south beyond Equestria, called Mt. Aris. It was home to the Hippogriffs, creatures that are part bird and part pony. They have larger wings than pegasi and alicorns, their manes and tails were all colorful feathers, they have beaks instead of mozzles, talons/hands on their front legs, and hooves on their back legs.

There was also another kingdom close to Mt. Aris. It was a kingdom underwater, called Seaquestria. It was populated with the most beautiful creatures ever: seaponies. Seaponies are part pony and part fish. They were covered in scales life fish, their manes were fin-liked, they have on their hooves/hands, dorsal fins, fin-like flipper wings, and long fish tails. Seaponies are also friends to the sea creatures living in the ocean.

Most Hippogriffs and seaponies were related to each other. Whenever they want to visit a world, they would use a tiny piece of a magic pearl they're all wearing around their necks and change their body form. And best of all, Mt. Aris and Seaquestria were both ruled by the same ruler, who was both a Hippogriff and a seapony, a lovely queen named Skystar. Her coat color was tan, she has blue hair and tail (both pony and fish), and she wears her mother's crown and a red coloring around her neck. She's cheerful, bubbly, and playful individual. She was yearning for companionship and friendship. And she was rebellious and impulsive. Skystar was the daughter of the Hippogriff and seaponies' former ruler, Queen Novo. After Twilight Sparkle was crowned ruler of Equestria, Novo was about to retire just like Celestia and Luna, co she crowned her daughter the queen of Mt. Aris and Seaquestria.

Skystar was taking care of her kingdoms pretty well, but she knew she may be the last of her family, except for her cousin, who would live longer like her, so she decided to have an heir of her own. She found the right husband and they got married as he became king. Then, Skystar gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, a lovely princess named Angel Adella. Angel's hide was light blue, and her beautiful mane and tail were both different shades of purple. She's the most beautiful Hippogriff/seapony ever in the world. Her looks, face, long hair, voice, and wings were lovely as ever, all the Hippogriffs and seaponies loved her.

One evening, while the king was out sailing with the navy, Princess Angel Adella was in her badroom, doing her makover. She was sitting in front of her mirror, brushing her mane. After she was done, her mother, Queen Skystar, and her grandmother, Novo came into her room. Novo was covered in light fuchsiaish gray hide, and her mane and tail had gradieht of brilliant fuchsia to strong mulberry.

"Hello, my little princess." Skystar said to her daughter. "How are you today?"

"I'm great." Angel answered. "In fact, I'm more lovely than ever before."

"Well, you really are pretty, my little angel." said Novo.

Angel climbed onto her royal bed and looked out her window, observing the Hippogriffs at Mt. Aris. As she was looking at them, she was thinking about something.

"Mother, I've been thinking, Mt. Aris and Seaquestria are great places to be. But, besides them, are there more places in the world? Are we not alone? Do you and grandma went outside our home before?"

When she heard her daughter's questions, Skystar was feeling uncertain if she could know the truth. But luckily, Novo gave her a nod on her head to let her know she can tell her daughter everything. Skystar sat next to Angel and began to tell her everything about her past.

Skystar's story started a long, long time ago, before she was coronated as queen. The Hippogriffs were living happy on Mt. Aris, flying and having fun. Skystar was a princess and Novo was queen and ruler. Everything was fine at first, until a terrible menace called the Storm King sent Tempest Shadow, a unicorn with a broken horn, and Grubber the hedgehog to steal the Hippogriffs' precious treasure, the Magic Pearl. Then, the Storm King arrived to attack the kingdom. Luckily, Queen Novo got the pearl in time, before the king could. Then, she used the pearl to transform herself, her daughter, and the rest of the Hippogriffs into seaponies, and escape into their underwater kingdom of Seaquestria.

Years later, Mt. Aris was turned into a ghost town since the attack. The seaponies remained in Seaquestria to be safe. Queen Novo became distrustful to anyone who would be threats to her and her subjects. It was always that way, until one day, six ponies and a baby dragon discovered Seaquestria. They'd follow Skystar into a submerged cavern. Skystar gave them magical air bubbles to help them breathe, before they'd drown. She took them to Novo in the castle throne room. Novo was still distrustful towards surface dwellers, but when they heard the Storm King invaded their homeland, she allowed to stay for a little while. She even demonstrates her pearl's power by transforming the six ponies into seaponies and the baby dragon into a pufferfish. One of the ponies named Princess Twilight Sparkle, the princess of friendship, believed she would use the pearl to save their homeland from the Storm King, but Novo refuses in order to keep it from falling into the wrong hands or hooves.

Twilight was still eager to save Equestria, she wouldn't take "no" for an answer. She had her friends to distract the seaponies with a party. All the seaponies were having fun, even Queen Novo. She was about to trust the ponies, but Twilight was cuaght trying to steal the pearl. Novo, hurt and angered, banishes her and her friends from Seaquestria.

But, Skystar would never leave the ponies at harm. When learning Twilight was captured by the Storm King, she used the pearl to turn herself back into a Hippogriff, and joins the ponies to help along with a cat and some pirates. When they arrived at Canterlot, Equestria's capital city, they battled between them and the storm creatures. After a while, the Storm King is history, and Equestria is saved.

After a while, Queen Novo was happy the threat was over, she decided to go back up to Mt. Aris along with some of her subjects. Some of the Hippogriffs live in Mt. Aris, while the rest live in Seaquestria. Whenever they want to go back and forth, they would use a tiny piece of the pearl to transform. Novo smashed it into pieces for all of her subjects. And of course, Twilight Sparkle opened a School of Friendship for all creatures, Novo allowed her niece, Silverstream, to attend. Then, when a trio of evildoers attacked Equestria, the Hippogriffs, along with all the other creatures, helped the ponies win the battle, before Twilight was crowned ruler of Equestria. Then after that, Skystar became queen of both Mt. Aris and Seaquestria and let more Hippogriffs to live in Equestria and learn more about the Magic of Friendship.

Angel Adella was enjoying her mother's story and very happy the Hippogriffs aren't alone.

"That sounds like a really great story, mommy." said Angel.

"I'm glad you're enjoying it, sweetie." said Skystar.

Skystar heard the question and changed her happy face into a sad face.

"Well, not anymore." Skystar answered. "One day, an evil alicorn came to Equestria and caused all the ponies to separate, and we lost our companionship with them."

Angel became so sad to hear the news.

"I just hope the ponies would learn to be friends with each other again, and then their magic would return." said Skystar.

"And then, they can visit Mt. Aris at anytime?" Angel asked.

"We'll see."

The next morning, Queen Skystar took Princess Angel Adella to the ocean. When they were in the water, Skystar touched hands with her daughter, and activated her pearl fragment, which unleashes magic to turn both royal Hippogriffs into seaponies. Angel was excited to be a seapony and have a fish tail. Being a seapony is the one thing she loves.

"Wow, mommy." Angel said. "This is amazing! I love being a seapony!"

"Come on Angel, let's go to Seaquestria." Skystar said to her daughter.

Once they made it to Seaquestria, Skystar took Angel to a very special place. It's a place where seaponies watch fish swimming around the reef.

"This is so beautiful, mommy." said Angel.

"Go ahead and blow in this shell." Skystar said as she gave Angel a shell.

Angel was blowing into the shell, and it makes lovely music, making the fish to dance to it. Angel was inspired by the beauty of the ocean, she wants to be lovely as the ocean and the sea creatures.

Chapter 1: Life in Equestria

Now let's go to the present, in Equestria. At Friendship Headquarters, Clumsy Bumzy and Bumble Barry were feeding fish in the big fish tank.

"Alright, Clumsy." said Bumble. "The fish are completely fed."

"Yep, they seem very happy now." said Clumsy.

Amber Lake, Fruity Tooty, Frosty Flavor, Grouchy Storm, Tangerine Twist, and Bronze Feather were cooking and baking in the kitchen.

"My delicious muffins are ready to be eaten." said Frosty.

"My favorite fruit salad is all cooled down." said Fruity.

"And my juice is complete." said Tangerine.

Powder Neutron and Bubble Burst were in the lab, doing some science experiments.

Rollette Skate, Soccer Score, and Hefty Haman were exercising and playing sports in the gym.

Lucky Clover, Cloudy Carla, Scarlet Tomato, and Fearful Moe were all playing at the water park.

Constellation, Astro Alex, and Nighttime Nathan were analyzing the stars at the planetarium.

Melody Aria was singing songs, practicing her dance moves, and playing the musical intruments in the music room.

Horseshoe Henry, Streamer Smooth, and Trueheart were reading their books, quietly in the library.

Disgusted Lex, Bronze Feather, Lolly Poply, and Gutsy Scott were all playing miniature golf.

Iron Magnet, Radish Ryan, Pineapple Tibbit, Lemonlime, and Sapphire Serum were playing video games in the playroom.

And Color Carol, Sharpy Gem, Violet Rosey, and Carver Crafty were doing art in the art room.

For me, I was doing some research about what me and my friends have been doing throughout the months. You see, after we met Princess Flurry Heart of the Crystal Empire, Princess Twilight Sparkle came to me and told me to bring other creatures together with ponies. Ever since Twilight and her friends became friends with all creatures around the world, they made a School of Friendship for every creature to help them all to learn about the Magic of Friendship. But, when Opaline Arcana caused the separation between ponies, every creature went back to their original homes and we'd never become friends again.

But by the time magic returned to the world, ponies became friends again. And after Sunny Starscout and her friends defeated Opaline, Equestria was finally in peace for the first time. But, they feared there could be more threats coming soon. So, Twilight Sparkle chose me and more foals to help everypony. Even after we recruited new foals from another universe, threats are finally decreasing. But then, Twilight told me that I should meet the other creatures from around the world. And as I met most of the creatures, but one, Equestria's harmony is becoming even higher. And, I recruited some non-pony defenders to help the world.

I wrote every letter to the ambassadors of each tribe. Twilight told me where they all live and I send a letter to them with floating lanterns. Then, after waiting for days, weeks, and months. I received a letter back, saying the tribes will make peace with ponies again. Then, after me and my friends visited homes of the tribes, and did friendly and heroic performances, they agreed to live in peace with us ponies. I reunited the creatures, but one, the Hippogriffs/seaponies. They were the last tribe to be reunited with us. I wrote them a letter months ago, but there was no word back yet. It was a little bad, but luckily, I'm a patient pony. The Hippogriffs/seaponies will write us back soon.

As I was done with the notes, some of the new defenders: Seashell, Glory, and Peach Fizz, entered my room to see me. Seashell was an earth pony filly, her fur was light purple, her mane and tail were sea-foam green, and her cutie mark was a green conch shell and two pink stars. Glory was a pegasus filly, her fur was light blue, her mane and tail were purple with light blue streaks, her wings were white and pink, and her cutie mark was an exploding pink and purple firework. And Peach Fizz was a unicorn filly, her fur was orange, her mane and tail were white with red, yellow, and blue streaks, and her cutie mark was a peach with come sparkles around it. They were Pippsqueaks, meaning they Princess Pipp Petals' biggest fans.

"Hey Pippsqueaks." I say. "How are you doing?"

"We're having a good time." said Seashell.

"We'd never been so happy since we became part of Equestria's heroes." said Glory.

"And we're still grateful for you and your friends to come rescue us from being held captive in another dimension." said Peach Rizz.

"Girls, I'm glad you're happy, but I'm sure you'll have a chance to be part of a quest." I say.

"Well, what have you been up to?" Peach Fizz asked.

"I'm now gonna call everypony up for a staff meeting." I answered. "You three should come too."

I called all the defenders to see me at the dining room table for a staff meeting, before me and the Pippsqueaks left my room.

All of the defenders meet at the dining room table, waiting for me. They have snacks and drinks because all meetings have snacks and drinks. Me and the Pippsqueaks have arrived to see everypony.

"Hey everypony." I say. "Are we all here?"

"Yes we are." Ellagant Glare told me."

Me and the Pippsqueaks took our seats and the meeting begins.

"Alright ponies, we're here to talk about Operation Creature Reunion." I say. "We all knew it was almost a year since Princess Twilight told me everything about the creatures from around the world."

"Yeah, she told you that after we met Princess Flurry Heart." said Powder Neutron.

"Then, we met almost all the creatures around the world." said Astro Alex.

"We met the griffons at Griffonstone. Most of them were mean and cranky, hoarding their money and treasure. But then, ponies helped them to think of others. Even Gianna, Gill, and Gwen joined the team." said Grouchy Storm.

"How about the Auroracorns we met in Starlight Ridge?" Constellation asked. "They were lovely in a winter star shine form. And they enjoyed the winter sports and activities we gave to them."

"The Breezies were magnificent." said Trueheart. "They were the rarest, smallest, cutest, and magical creatures in Equestria. Even the Breezie chief was friendly in everything. And their Night Market inside the Wishing Tree in Bridlewood was so amazing, they had almost everything magical, secret, and lost stuff."

"How about the Changelings?" Disgusted Lex asked. "They used to be evil, but a unicorn named Starlight Glimmer convinced them to share their love with one another, and they metamorphose into new forms. My favorite one is Queen Ocellus."

"And the dragons." said Gutsy Scott. "The may be big, but they are awesome. And, even Dragon Lord Spike was still thinking of Twilight."

"Don't forget the three creatures at Farasi." said Color Carol. "The zebras, abadas, and kelpies. Zebras are amazing with stripes, abadas may be tall, but their magic on plants, so beautiful. And the kelpies were amazing, too, at vapor, water, and ice."

"How about the Kirin?" Amber Lake asked. "They're good at singing and telling jokes."

"And the Yaks may be big and a little overwhelmed, but they are great." said Fearful Moe.

"Let's not forget about the cats, parrots, and diamond dogs." said Brainiac.

"That's right." I say. "We met all the creatures Twilight asked us to meet. But, there's one more tribe of creatures we should make peace with: the Hippogriffs/seaponies."

"What do you mean by slash?" Lolly Poply asked.

"Twilight told me the Hippogriffs and seaponies can transform back and forth whenever they want."

"I see." said Bronze Feather.

"I wrote a letter to their ruler, Queen Skystar."

"And did she wrote back?" Streamer Smooth asked.

"No. It may take a while to hear her word."

"Man, it's been months since we started making peace with the creatures." said Clumsy Bumzy.

"We were almost finished with Operation Creature Reunion." said Soccer Score.

"And, it'll be over someday." I say.

Just as we were about to end the meeting, our doorbell started to ring; somepony was visiting us.

Once me and some of my friends were at the front door, I opened it to see who it was. It was a royal brass band of Hippogriffs and a messenger Hippogriff. I figured Queen Skystar got my message that she send one back. The messenger began to speak to us after the band was done playing music.

"Greetings, foals." said the messenger Hippogriff. "Are you the Great Defenders of Friendship?"

"Yes sir." said Ellagant Glare.

"Great. Which one of you is Special Hoof?"

"I am, sir." I answered as I stepped forth.

"Our queen got your letter on a floating lantern. And, she wrote this one back to you."

Then, he began to read us the queen's letter.

Dear Special Hoof,

I would want to thank you for sending the letter. It's been years, when we Hippogriffs and seaponies were hiding from the Storm King, Princess Twilight Sparkle and her friends helped us and defeated him. We made peace with you ponies and other creatures throughout the years. But then, somepony caused the seperation and we were forced to live in Mt. Aris and Seaquestria for all eternity, until you wrote to me. I'm so happy you ponies are finally back together. So, to make peace with you ponies again, you and your other defender friends are invited to Mt. Aris for a royal ball. In which time me and my daughter will bestow our royal blessing upon you defenders and your ambassadors.

Royally yours, Queen Skystar.

"A royal ball?" Ellagant Glare asked. "When does it start?"

"In two days." the messenger answered.

"Okay sir, go tell your queen we''ll meet at Mt. Aris tomorrow." I told him.

"As you wish."

He and the other Hippogriffs started to fly back home.

"Come one, everypony, we're going on a trip." I told my friends.

My Little Pony: God's Love Under the Sea

Chapter 2: Road Trip to Aris

The next day, me and most of the defenders were packed up and ready for our trip. The defenders coming with me were Ellagant Glare, Tangerine Twist, Clumsy Bumzy, Trueheart, Brainiac, Seashell, Glory, Peach Fizz, Amber Lake, Disgusted Lex, Cloudy Carla, Present Prize, Nighttime Nathan, Sharpy Gem, Daytime Darwin, Needle Stitch, Streamer Smooth, Bubble Burst, Color Carol, Soccer Score, Scarlet Tomato, Pineapple Tibbet, Lemonlime, Sapphire Serum, Hefty Haman, Lucky Clover, Melody Aria, Joydan Gallop, Fearful Moe, Astro Alex, Grouchy Storm, Radish Ryan, and Bumble Barry. After loading up our seats, buckled up and we were off to Mt. Aris.

20 minutes later, we were still soaring through the skies in our RVs. While we were getting close, some ponies were talking about what's gonna happen when they get there.

"I don't know if I'd like being a Hippogriff. Part bird, part pony..." said Seashell.

"What about seaponies?" Peach Rizz asked. "Part fish, part pony; they're the most beautiful creatures in the world. They're fast swimmers like dolphins, they can breathe underwater like all sea creatures, not to mention the weightlessness."

"I hope the Hippogriffs are neat." said Trueheart.

"They are. Special told me about them." said Brainiac. "A long, long time ago, the Hippogriffs all once lived happily on Mt. Aris. But when an evildoer called the Storm King invaded, they used a magic pearl, which belonged to their former ruler Queen Novo, and turned into seaponies and escape to the underwater kingdom of Seaquestria. Then in the battle of Canterlot, when Princess Twilight Sparkle defeated the Storm King, the seaponies came out of hiding and went back up to Mt. Aris."

"That sounds great." said Seashell.

And then all of the sudden, I've spotted our stop. So, I took out the walkie-talkie to tell all the defenders.

"Attention all defenders, this is your captain speaking." I say. "We're coming up on Mt. Aris."

Everypony looked out the windows and saw Mt. Aris straight ahead. Lucky for us, there was a runway for any aircraft. Me and the other pilot defenders lined up our RVs and landed smoothly. Then, we found parking spots for us. We grabbed our bags and I gave everypony a few words before we continue.

"Okay, everypony, we made it to Mt. Aris." I say. "We got to be friendly around the Hippogriffs and seaponies, we'd never been friends with them in hundreds of years."

Before I could finish up, a female Hippogriff approached us. Her fur and wings were light magentaish gray, her main and tail were light cornflower blue and light cornflower bluish gray streaks. It was none other than the same Hippogriff/seapony who attend Twilight's School of Friendship, by the name of Silverstream.

"Hello ponies." Silverstream said. "Welcome to Mt. Aris. I'm Silverstream, Queen Skystar's cousin."

"Hello, Miss Silverstream." I say. "I've heard of you, you were the very first Hippogriff/seapony who attended Princess Twilight Sparkle's School of Friendship."

"Yes I am." Silverstream replied. "It's been years when I first lived in Equestria."

"You look amazing." said Ellagant Glare.

"Thank you. But anyway, Queen Skystar asked me to meet you all here and bring you to see her and her daughter."

"Cool, we definitely need a guide of Mt. Aris." I say.

"Come on, everypony, let get going."

Silverstream was being our tour guide, we began to follow her around Mt. Aris until we meet the queen and princess.

We were walking near the beach, when we see a married couple of Hippogriffs there. They both jumped and then magic swirled around them, turning into seaponies and diving underwater.

"Wow, that is so cool." said Radish Ryan. "These two Hippogriffs turned into seaponies."

"How do they do that?" Color Carol asked.

"Well, after the Storm King's defeat, the seaponies didn't have anymore. So some of them changed back into Hippogriffs and went to Mt. Aris, while the rest got used to living underwater and stayed in Seaquestria. Whenever both creatures want to go back and forth, they used a tiny piece of my Aunt Novo's magic pearl to transform."

"Cool." we all said, observing Silverstream's pearl fragment.

"Come on, everypony, let's go up the mountain and explore Hippogriffia."

There was a lot of stairs to get up there, but we had to meet the queen.

After walking up the stairs for 18 minutes, we've finally reached the top. We entered through the gateway and looked around the village. Everything in Hippogriffia is astonishing, all the Hippogriffs were walking and talking, and enjoying the sunny waether.

"Wow." I say. "This village is great! Last time Twilight and her friends visit, it was a ghost town."

"Yeah, my Aunt Novo thought it would be best to return Hippogriffia to its former glory." Silverstream told me.

"Well, the Hippogriffs look friendly." said Soccer Score.

Silverstream was leading us to the palace, where we should meet the queen, when Cloudy Carla heard a beautiful sound.

"Silverstream, what's that wonderful sound?" Cloudy asked.

"Oh, those are the Harmonizing Heights." Silverstream answered.

Cloudy speeds up towards the entrance, and when she saw the Harmonizing Heights, she enjoyed the beauty of it. There were lots of trees with birds, smooth streams, and waterfalls.

"WHOO-HOO!! YEAH!! I LOVE THIS!!!" Cloudy cheered with joy.

We caught up with Cloudy being happy.

"This is really the best place ever! You are so lucky." Cloudy said to Silverstream.

"This place is prefect for when we go on our own camping trips." I say.

"Sure is fun for camping." said Silverstream. "But now, let's walk to the castle.

We listened and continued following Silverstream towards the palace.

We were inside the castle hallway, entering the throne room. Once we were ready, the Hippogriff guards played their fanfare. And then, a spotlight was turned on. When we looked up, Queen Skystar and Princess Angel Adella were making a grand entrance. Skystar didn't age because she was immortal like her mother. She was wearing her mother's crown and red necklace around her neck with a mini pearl that will let her transform back and forth whenever she needs to. And for Angel Adella, she was all-grown up. She was wearing a lovely tiara on her head like any princess should, and a primrose colored necklace around her neck with a magic pearl as well. And of course, her mane was so long and so beautiful, since she'd grown it so big and long, she got herself a perfect mane style with a little help from some animal friends.

When Queen Skystar was looking at us, she became so excited to see ponies again.

"Greetings little ponies." Skystar said. "Welcome to Mt. Aris. I'm Queen Skystar. And, this is my beautiful daughter, Princess Angel Adella."

"Hello, ponies." Angel said.

"Please to meet you, your royalnesses." I say. "I'm Special Hoof. leader of the Great Defenders of Friendship, Equestria's best team of heroes."

As I stepped up in front of the queen and princess, Skystar picked me up and hugged me.

"First thing you go to know about me: I'm a hugger." Skystar said while she was still hugging me.

After she puts me down, she began to talk more.

"You've already met my cousin, Silverstream. Are you ponies enjoying Mt. Aris?"

"We sure are." Ellagant Glare answered.

"Oh good."

"Well, you foals are just in time." said Angel. "We're having the ball set for tomorrow, it'll be a blast for you. Won't that be fun?"

"Indeed." said Disgusted Lex.

"I was hoping we'd be together." said Skystar. "Since that evil alicorn appeared, you ponies went your own way, and we Hippogriffs and seaponies never heard from you again."

"Until you wrote us back." said Daytime Darwin.

"Indeed. Now, that you're here, we can also show you the wonders of our next kingdom, Seaquestria."

"That would be awesome." said Peach Fizz.

"Yeah but, how exactly are we gonna be able to be underwater for as long as we need to be." Soccer Score asked.

"Don't worry, we got the solution." said Angel.

The queen and princess began to lead us to the beach at the bottom of the mountain.

Author's Note

Here's what you need to know:
In the Friendship is Magic comics issues 75-78, Queen Novo was in ancient times like Princesses Celestia and Luna, meaning she was immortal. Skystar and Silverstream were part of her family, so they should be immortal too.

My Little Pony: God's Love Under the Sea

Chapter 3: Seaquestria

Once we all it to the beach with Queen Skystar, Princess Angel, and Silverstream, Skystar was giving us some words.

"Alright, we're here at the beach, now let's go swimming." Skystar said.

"Not to spoil the party, nut how can we turn into seaponies, you three have magical pearl fragments, you're the only ones to be seaponies." I say.

Angel took my hoof to show everypony her demonstration. First, we both jump really high, then Angel touched her pearl fragment. As she was still holding my hoof, the fragment's magic also effected me, too. The magic was swirling around us; it turned out fur into scales, our wings into fins, and our back legs into fish tails. And of course, my cutie mark was on my dorsal fin. After we transformed, we dove right into the ocean. I was overjoyed when I first saw my fish tail.

"Whoo-hoo!" I'm a seapony." I shouted.

Everypony was amazed to see me as a seapony. Now, it was their turn. Skystar and Silverstream formed a circle with the foals. When they all joined hooves together, Skystar and Silverstream activated their pearl fragments and the magic turned everypony into seaponies. The pegasi wings turned from feathers into fins, and the unicorns' horns remain the same. For those defenders who were wearing glasses, they weren't able to see with glasses on when they'd transform. So when they took off their glasses, they can see clearly. They were not near sighted when they were seaponies now.

"Whoa! This must be just like flying!!!" said Seashell.

"I can't believe I'm now a seapony!" said Peach Fizz.

I can really breathe underwater!" said Glory.

Everypony was enjoying the seapony life. I was betting Sunny Starscout and her friends would enjoy it too, if they came with us.

"Queen Skystar, this is so amazing to be underwater." I say. "Which way's Seaquestria?"

"Come one, everypony. It's this way." Skystar said as she was leading the way.

We all began to follow Skystar, Angel, and Silverstream, and swim to the underwater kingdom of Seaquestria.

We swam eight miles away from shore. The queen and princess lead us into an underwater cave, the entrance to Seaquestria. We were swimming through the cave ans saw a whitish pink light up ahead.

"We're almost there." Princess Angel said to us.

As we were approaching the light, we discovered the lovely underwater kingdom of Seaquestria, home to the seaponies. We were all amazed, when we discovered the whole kingdom, the castle, shops, and homes were all hanging from the ceiling. All the seaponies and other sea creatures were swimming sround.

"Wow, this is so beautiful." said Ellegant Glare.

"I've never been so amazed in all of my life." said Joydan Gallop.

"Alright, my pony friends. Welcome to Seaquestria." said Queen Skystar.

Suddenly, three seapony foals appeared before us. The first seapony was a boy. His hide color was neon orange and his mane and tail was highlight yellow and brownish red streaks. His name was Sheldon Seahorse. The second seapony was also a boy. His hide color was cool green, and his mane was turfs blue and white streak. His name was Zion Zooplank. And the third and last seapony was a girl. Her hide color was neon pink, and her mane was orange and raspberry colored streaks. Her name was Pearl Popps.

"Wow, land ponies visiting underwater? So cool." Sheldon said with excitement.

"Friends, I'm Zion Zooplank. I'm the cool one." said Zion.

"I'm Sheldon Seahorse. I'm H2O intolerant." said Sheldon.

"And I'm Pearl Popps. I'm a pearl collector and lover." said Pearl Popps.

"It's a pleasure to meet you." I say. "I'm Special Hoof, leader of the Great Defenders of Friendship. We're just visiting for the royal ball."

"Well, why don't you all swim with us around the kingdom? We'll show you everything." said Zion.

Sheldon, Zion, and Pearl were leading us into some underwater fun, while Skystar, Angel, and Silverstream swam into the castle to talk about the ball.

We were all having fun around Seaquestria. Zion Zooplank was showing us the Seaweed Shoppe, where all the food is seaweed flavored. Pearl Popps was leading is to a jewelry store for jewelry. And Sheldon Seahorse was showing us the underwater playground. It has swings, seesaws, slides, and merri-go-round.

After having fun around Seaquestria for an hour. Princess Angel Adella appeared to check on us. Then, one of the royal guards appeared next to her.

"Hello." said Angel. "Are you all having fun?"

"Yes we are." I answered.

"Well, allow me to introduce, my boyfriend, and very special somepony, Flounder Finn."

Flounder Finn was red and mane and tail were orange and black streaks. And, he was the captain of the Hippogriff Navy.

"Hello, everypony." Flounder said. "We finally meet."

"That's your boyfriend?" I asked Angel.

"Of course." Angel answered.

"She asked me to be your guide of exploring the coral reef." Flounder responded.

"We're going to see the reef?" Seashell asked.

"Yes we are." Flounder said. "But first, we need some rides."

Flounder took out a conch shell and blow on it. The sound from the shell was a signal to our rides. Then, our rides appeared to be dolphins, big fish, and stingrays.

"Come on, let's ride the waves." said Flounder.

We all got onto a sea creature and off we go to see the reef.

We were riding on the sea creatures, leading us out of the cave. Then, we'd reach the coral reef. It was so beautiful, it was structurally very complex. We saw lots sights around the reef. We saw some clownfish swimming inside the sea anemones, tangs swimming around the staghorn coral, some lionfish near some starfish, some dotty backs swimming above lettuce leaf coral, crabs near the bubble coral, damsel fish next to the gorgonian sea fan coral, angelfish near the sun coral, marine betta near the sea whip coral, butterfly fish next to the clams, puffers blowing bubbles. wrasse next to the organ pipe coral, moorish idol near the red algae, batfish above the seagrass, and shrimp crawling on the grooved brain coral. We were enjoying the lovely views of the reef.

We were exploring the reef for 15 minutes, until we'd reach our last stop: The Drop Off/

"Alright ponies, the Drop Off." said Flounder Finn. "Feel free to explore, but stay close."

We got off our rides to look around. Sheldon Seahorse, Zion Zooplank and Pearl Popps are showing me the most beautiful view of the reef.

"Special, since you're new here, would like to show you something cool about this reef." said Zion.

Then, they lead me to the best view; open water, where the whole reef ends.

"Wow. This really is beautiful." I say.

"Told you." said Sheldon.

"Seaponies come here to admire the view of open water." Pearl said.

"Did seaponies took journeys beyond the reef?" I asked.

"Well, no." Zion answered. "Nopony went beyond the reef."

"We just stayed in Seaquestria and Mt. Aris for as long as we have to be safe." Flounder said when he appeared.

"Well, me and my friends had been on journeys, even to far away places." I told Flounder. "We could even handle danger, too."

"Really? Aren't you foals a little young to go on your own journeys?" Flounder asked.

"Yes. Yes we are." I answered.

"Well, it's great to see young ponies having fun."

After we had fun exploring the reef, we began to head back to Seaquestria. But, Princess Angel Adella wanted to show us something first.

Chapter 4: Angel Adella's Grotto

My Little Pony: God's Love Under the Sea

Chapter 4: Angel Adella's Grotto

We were all swimming back to Seaquestria, but the thing we weren't noticing is some scary sea creatures called angler fish were hiding undercover, spying on only one seapony, Princess Angel Adella.

Somewhere else in the ocean, far away from Seaquestria, there was an underwater cave surrounded by smoking mini volcanoes. It was home to an evil seapony named Shelby, and her own angler fish minions. Shelby was observing her magic bubble to see what's up.

"Yes, head back home, princess." Shelby said watching through the bubble. "You wouldn't want to spoil your day with your subjects."

Then, she turned her head around to speak to herself.

"Very pathetic. In my day, the seaponies in Seaquestria and Hippogriffs in Mt. Aris had fantastic feasts, when I lived in poor snacks." she said before she ate a krill. "And now look at me, wasted away to practically nothing, banished and exiled and hungry, while Queen Skystar and her subjects celebrate. Well, I'll give them all something to celebrate soon enough."

Then, she turned back to the bubble to call her angler fish minions spying on Angel.

"Black and Grey, I want you both to keep an extra close watch on the beautiful seapony. She may be the key to the undoing of the kingdoms."

After we made it back to Seaquestria, Princess Angel Adella was telling us about something she wants to show us.

"Ponies, now that we're back, I want to show you a little something of mine." Angel said. "Follow me."

Me and the other defenders were following Angel to a secret door. Angel pulled the circular rock out of the way, revealing a hidden passage. We went inside and discovered Angel's very own grotto. It was so tall. From above, was a medium opening above us, letting in some sunlight. The grotto had lots of seashells and crafts made of shells.

"Welcome to my own grotto." Angel said. "This is where I craft shells, sing songs, practice dancing, and gave myself lovely makeovers."

We were all amazed of how her grotto was decorated.

"Why don't you all have a seat? My friends will serve you with some snacks."

We each took a seat before some fish gave us some snacks. It was like kindergarten. Angel was taking her seat as a teacher. The fish were now giving her mane a quick clean up and makeover.

"I always wanted to show some visitors my own collection of my shell crafts. I was hoping ponies would come together someday. And, now it came true."

"Does your mother know about this place?" I asked.

"Oh yes, she comes here whenever we need some quiet time."

The fish clipped Angel's mane higher, and then they started covering it with shampoo.

"Looks like your fish friends are professional mane stylists." said Bubble Burst.

"We seaponies became friends with the sea creatures since the founding of Seaquestria." said Sheldon Seahorse.

"So ponies, how do you like your visit?" Angel asked.

"It was so much fun." Seashell answered.

"Everything was amazing. Mt. Aris has the perfect camping spot for us." said Cloudy Carla.

"And Seaquestria has lots of light and entertainment and the reef was lovely, I want to see it again." said Glory.

"And I can't believe you have a very special somepony." said Astro Alex. "I guess you choose a perfect interest."

"Yeah, I did." Angel replied. "Flounder Finn is the best of the best. My mom likes him, too."

"Princess, how did you met and fell in love with Flounder?" I asked.

"I thought you never asked."

Angel started telling us her story of how she met Flounder.

It started a long time ago, when Princess Angel Adella was a sixteen year old Hippogriff at high school. She was walking down the hallways, carrying her books. When suddenly, she saw a teenage Flounder Finn down the hall, talking to his classmates. When he was done chatting, Angel walked to him and said "Hello."

"Hi." she said.

"Oh, hi princess." Flounder said when he turned around.

"Please call me, Angel."

"Alright, Angel."

"Are you new to this school?" Angel asked.

"Oh yes, I wanted to be a sailor for the Royal Navy."

"You do?" That's great. We can definitely need more Hippogriffs and seaponies in the Navy."

"That sounds amazing. Thank you."

When Flounder held out his hand to get a high-five, Angel instead touched his hand and hold onto it. When she was holding it more, she felt something beyond her wild dreams, and so did Flounder. And, that something they felt was love. Experts say that when you touched someones' hoof, you know you found true love. Then, Angel thought of something.

"Well, before I can go to class, would you like to come for my birthday party?"

"Your birthday?" Flounder asked. "I would love to."

Then. Flounder ran towards class as Angel was watching him.

Twelve days later, Angel's birthday party was being held in the castle. She gave herself a makeover, styled her mane, and put on her big, beautiful, poofy dress with glass slippers for her back hooves.

When she and Queen Skystar were enjoying the party, Angel was meeting her guests, hoping Flounder was coming to the party. Angel was still meeting guests, when she was bowing to the assembly. Suddenly, she stops. She looks up. And there he stands, Flounder Finn all dressed up for her royal birthday. She was so happy he decided to visit. She started to walk toward Flounder. Her enormous heart told her that there was the stallion protesting to be her husband. Angel grabbed his hand to get his attention.

"Princess Angel Adella." Flounder said.

"Flounder. I'm so happy you could come." said Angel.

"This ball looks amazing, and you look really lovely with your big dress on."

"Thank you. And, you look handsome."

Queen Skystar was announcing the dance to begin.

"Well, may I have the honors of this dance?" Flounder asked.

"Why of course you may." Angel answered.

They both stood at the dance floor, started to do the waltz romantically. Everyone was watching them dancing, even Queen Skystar was looking at her daughter having a great time. After their dance was over, Flounder gave her a glittered blue fish-themed bracelet for a birthday present, and she loved it. He put it on Angel's arm, Angel was pleased for Flounder's generosity, she gave Flounder a kiss on the cheek. And, that's how Angel and Flounder fell in love. Then, a few years later, they graduated from high school and college, and Flounder Finn became captain of the Navy. He's still dating Angel for years.

When Angel Adella had finish her story, we became so happy.

"Wow, princess. That was a beautiful story." said Ellagant Glare.

"Are gonna marry Flounder?" Present Prize asked.

"Well, I do want to marry him. I just want him to ask me, first." Angel said.

Black and Grey the angler fish were observing everything for Shelby, as Shelby was looking into the bubble.

"Oh boy, this is so amusing." Shelby said to herself. "The princess is in love with the captain of the Navy. Now I've finally got a way to get the kingdoms for me."

She ordered her minions to make her some smoke pearls and to bring put her black cloak. She was about to do something terrible pretty soon.

My Little Pony: God's Love Under the Sea

Chapter 5: Royal Hippogriff Ball

The next day, me and my friends were getting ready for the royal ball, starting tonight. We all brought our own suits and dresses made by our friend, Needle Stitch. We also had to get clean and give ourselves some makeovers.

For me, I was taking a shower, thinking about the blessing Queen Skystar was gonna give to us ponies. I'd promise Princess Twilight Sparkle I'd bring creatures together with us ponies someday. We'd started the operation almost a year ago. The Hippogriffs and seaponies were the last type we should make peace with. I was hoping nothing goes wrong during the ball.

When I finished my shower, I brushed my mane, then I started putting on my fancy suit for the ball. I walked out of the RV and I saw everypony else all dressed up.

"Alright, everypony." I say. "Are we all ready?"

Everypony replied to say they're ready.

"Then, let's go to the ball.

Then, we all began to walk to the ball held at the castle.

We all made it to the castle and entered the ballroom. There were lots of Hippogriffs at the ball, young and old. And, they were all wearing suits and dresses for the ball, too.

"This ball is perfecto!" said Daytime Darwin.

"This reminds me of the balls we intended by Queen Haven." said Sharpy Gem.

"Everypony, we're here." I say to the defenders. "The queen will give us her blessing as long as we keep our strength up. You may enjoy, nut please no causing trouble."

Then, the Hippogriff brass band began to play some music because Queen Skystar and Princess Angel Adella are about to come out. The guards opened the doors to let the queen and princess enter the ballroom. Every Hippogriff and us defenders bowed down to them after they came out.

"Greetings everyone, I'm delighted to have you all here." said Queen Skystar.

Skystar and Angel walked toward us to have a word.

"Hello, defenders." said Angel. "You all look so lovely and sharp."

"Thank you. I made these clothes myself." said Needle Stitch.

"Well ponies, why don't you all enjoy the ball? I promise I'll give you my blessing." said Queen Skystar.

"As you wish, your Majesty." I say.

We all started to enjoy the ball. We began to talk to the Hippogriffs.

"Evening, sir." Brainiac said to a Hippogriff.

"Oh, good evening, little pony." male Hippogriff #1 said. "We Hippogriffs haven't been with you ponies for hundreds of moons. My son really wants to move to Equestria, when he grows up."

"Well, we ponies like to have new friends."

We also began to eat some snacks and sip our drinks.

"Is this fish oil tea? I hate this stuff." said Grouchy Storm when he took a sip of the tea.

"Grouchy just be polite." Amber Lake told Grouchy.

Then, everypony and and everygriff began to dance, when the servant announced it.

"May the dance begin." said the servant.

Princess Angel and Flounder were the first to dance, when the music starts, everyone else attended to dance along.

Me and my friends were dancing. All thanks to our friend, Pipp Petals, we did the right steps for every dance. Sheldon Seahorse, Zion Zooplank, and Pearl Popps were there, too. We were having a great time.

While everyone was still dancing, Angel and Flounder exited the castle to get some fresh air. They were walking around the Harmonizing Heights in the night.

"Those ponies were having a great time." said Flounder. "I wonder if the ponies in Equestria are really getting along."

"They are." said Angel. "The foals are from three tribes and they're friends. And when I'm queen someday, we Hippogriffs and seaponies we be visiting Equestria anytime we want."

"You're right. I've never went outside our home in years. I was hoping to go on an adventure in all my life."

"Me too. My mom was close to the ponies a long tome ago. Right until, an evil alicorn appeared to separate the three pony tribes, and we'd never heard from them again."

"Until, your mom received a letter from Special. And, he and some of his friends came over. Was your mom friends with someone else other than ponies?" Flounder asked.

"Actually, her cousin Silverstream did. We became friends with griffons, changelings, zebras, kirin, abudas, kelpies, brrezzies, panthers, diamond dogs, parrots, yaks, and dragons."

"Great. We lost contact with old friends for years, but now, we have a big future to see them again."

Then, Angel thought of her boyfriend. She wanted to be with him the whole time. She fell in love with him since high school, and she wanted to live happily ever after.

"Flounder," Angel asked. "I've been thinking, we've been dating from high school to today. I think we've known each other for so long."

"Well, I will let you know when it's time." said Flounder. "I love you so much throughout the years."

"I love you, too, babe." Angel replied. "It's just, I don't want to rule over Mt. Aris and Seaquestria all by myself. And, I can't go anywhere without support."

"Don't worry, you won't be alone, I promise." said Flounder. He touched hid girlfriend's hand as love to let her know she won't ever be alone on her journey.

They continued walking around the Harmonizing Heights. They were talking to each other about their lives, walked near a stream as Angel waved her hand over the water.

Then, they approach a bunch of critters. Angel leaned down and started petting and nuzzling them.

Last of all, Angel and Flounder were walking on a bridge and looked down at the river.

"Wow, this is a lovely night." said Angel.

"It sure is, honey." Flounder agreed.

They began to stare at each other, romantically, then nuzzle each other. They were enjoying the fresh air, until a guard approached them, telling them that Queen Skystar was about to start her gift of blessing. Flounder and Angel started to fly back to the ball to watch the speech.

My Little Pony: God's Love Under the Sea

Chapter 6: Shelby's Entrance

Flounder and Angel made it back to the ball, just in time for Queen Skystar to give every Hippogriff her speech.

"Excuse me, my fellow subjects." Skystar announced. "May I have your attention?"

Everypony and griff looked up at the queen and listened.

"We are here because we're going to make peace again, with the ponies from Equestria for the first time in forever. Many, many, many years ago, when the Storm King attacked Mt. Aris, my mother, Queen Novo, lead us to our next kingdom, Seaquestria. We were hiding for years, until Princess Twilight Sparkle and her friends found us, and asked us to help them stop the Storm King. I was the only Hippogriff/seapony who helped. After he was dead, the seaponies came out of hiding and changed back into Hippogriffs. My mom broke the magic pearl into pieces for all of us. Princess Twilight opened a School of Friendship for all creatures around the world, and my cousin, Silverstream, was the first Hippogriff to the student. We Hippogriffs and seaponies were friends with the ponies, until an evil alicorn showed up and tempted the ponies to distrust each other, and worst of all, she was trying to steal all of the magic from around the world. Twilight protected us all by placing all the magic into the Unity Crystals.

We were all listening to Queen Skystar's speech, even I was pleased by her words.

"Throughout the years, we'd never had a touch with the ponies since the separation. Until, I received a message from them five weeks ago. And, they are here right now."

Skystar asked me to come up and say a few words, and so I did.

"Thank you, your Majesty." I say. "Well, I have to say you Hippogriffs and seaponies are amazing. Me and my friends are heroes of Equestria, before we came to Mt. Aris. Princess Twilight Sparkle had asked me and my friends to become friends with all the creatures from all over the world. I'm really glad and grateful you'd got our letter. Queen Skystar, we would like you to meet the ponies who'd brought back magic, they'd lived in a place called the Crystal Brighthouse in Maretime Bay. You may also meet Alphabittle Blossomforth, owner of the Crystal Tea Room in Bridlewood, and Queen Haven, ruler of Zephyr Heights. I promise you'll like it after for so many years."

"Well that's all amazing, and I can't wait to meet the ambassadors." said Queen Skystar. "Anyway, as queen of the Hippogriffs and seaponies, I hereby...."

Before Skystar could continue her speech, a strong wind was blowing around in the ballroom. I was sensing some trouble when I felt the wind. Then, magical black smoke entered the ballroom; everyone was watching in terror. The smoke was swirling in the middle of the room, and when it clears, it was Shelby.

"Hello, Hippogriffs." said Shelby.

"Shelby, what are you doing here?" Queen Skystar asked. "My mother banished you."

"Oh, hello Skystar, congratulations on being queen."

"Why are you here? And what do you want?"

"I'm here to deliver a message."

We were all observing the whole scene. Me and my friends were ready in case she was about to attack.

"Listen well, all of you!" Shelby announced. "I've been homeless and messy for too many moons. Novo kicked me out for not being a good Hippogriff. And I'll be soon ruling Mt. Aris and Seaquestria with my minions to chip away."

"Not today, or any other day, Shelby!" I shouted.

Me and my friends were powering up to get ready to fight. Shelby was shocked to see ponies at Mt. Aris.

Ponies? In Hippogriffia?" Shelby asked shockingly.

"That's right." said Ellagant Glare.

"Prepare to face the wrath of the Great Defenders of Friendship!" I say.

We began to attack Shelby, until she started to escape. But luckily, I placed a tracker on her before she fled. Shelby magically teleported herself away from Mt. Aris to her lair.

The ball was over, we ponies didn't get Queen Skystar's blessing all thanks to Shelby. Skystar, Angel, Flounder, and us defenders were sitting at the dining room table, talking about the incident at the ball.

"So that Hippogriff/seapony witch is named Shelby?" Seashell asked.

"Of course." Flounder answered.

"We were so close at having our ongoing friendship." I complained.

"It'll come." Angel said to me.

"Shelby knew Queen Novo before she was banished." said Bubble Burst.

"Queen Skystar, how much do you know about that baddie?" I asked the queen.

"Well, she was a close friend of my mother." Skystar said.

It started a long time ago, a few years after the Storm King invaded Mt. Aris. Shelby was tired of living in Seaquestria, she tried to convince Novo to return to the surface, but she couldn't. Novo wanted to remain underwater everyday. Shelby made her own rampage, and then Novo kicked her out of the kingdom.

"My mother was blind by her distrust, she kicked her close friend out of our homes." said Queen Skystar.

"I can't believe that happened." I said with disappointment. "Ponies just said: We create our own demons.""

"She said she was going to rule over all the Hippogriffs and seaponies." said Flounder.

"Well, we can't let that happen." said Peach Fizz.

"We got to find her and foil her evil plans." said Joydan Gallop.

"Luckily, I put a tracker on Shelby, so we could find out where her lair is." I said.

"Where is she right now?" Daytime Darwin asked.

I checked my GPS to see where Shelby is at, now. I looked and discovered that Shelby has made it to her lair.

"It looks like she made it to her hideout." I say.

Then, I locked up her current location to make sure it's saved. And, i made a map of how to get there.

"Now we know where to go." I say. And, we leave first thing in the morning. All of us, including, but not limited to, Sheldon Seahorse, Zion Zooplank, and Pearl Popps."

"Well ponies, if you're going on a quest across the whole ocean, you're also gonna need some support. I'm coming with you." said Princess Angel Adella. "Will you come, too, Flounder?" she asked her boyfriend.

"Definitely." Flounder said.

"Great." I exclaimed. "Let's do this!"

Shelby's appearance was a reference to "Sleeping Beauty."

Chapter 7: Just Keep Swimming

The very next day, me and the other defenders were at the beach with Princess Angel Adella, Flounder Finn, Sheldon Seahorse, Zion Zooplank, Pearl Popps, preparing to leave Mt. Aris to go on our ocean quest. Queen Skystar wanted to say "goodbye" before we leave.

"Angel Adella," Skystar said. "have fun on your journey with our new friends, but please be careful. There are unexpected things out in the ocean."

"Don't worry, mom." said Angel. "We'll be okay."

"I'll watch over them, your Majesty." said Flounder.

"Alright my pony friends." Skystar announced. "You all have a great quest, and I bid thee good fortune."

We all went into the water, joined hooves and talons together, and Angel and Flounder touched their magical pearl fragments, which turned all of us into seaponies. And, off we go to go across the ocean and stop Shelby from taking over Mt. Aris and Seaquestria.

We stopped at the Drop Off. It was the first time someone went into the open water.

"I can't believe we're doing this." said Zion.

We all started to leave the reef. It was the only way to get to Shelbie.

We were still swimming beyond the reef, twelve miles away from Mt. Aris. I looked at my GPS to see how long the trip is going to take. As I was examining, I discovered we have to go through eight different places. There was the Sandy Reef, the Sea-Forest of Misery, the Shipwreck Graveyard, Melody Meadow, the Field of Spongepop, Blue Whale Territory, Sea-foggy Clouds, and the Seaquestria Current.

"Alright everypony, we got lots of places to get through, but let's do this!" I told everypony.

We arrived at the Sandy Reef. It was all sand on the sea floor, some sea grass growing out of the sand, big rocky corals around the reef, and lots of schools of fish swimming to migrate to their homes.

"Wow, look at all these schools of fish." said Peach Fizz. "They're migrating home."

"This is one of the places to see under the sea." I say.

"Come on everypony, let's swim." said Sheldon Seahorse.

Then, we keep on swimming through the reef.

We were still swimming past the Sandy Reef, and it was so lovely with all the life around it.

"Wow, all the life in this Sandy Reef is so lovely." said Trueheart.

"You can say that again." said Tangerine Twist.

Princess Angel thought of something as she was looking at the fish.

"Everypony, I think there's a sea creature you may want to meet." Angel said.

Then, we started following Angel to see someone.

Angel lead us into an underwater cave. As we went inside, it was full of light from the holes in the ceiling. Then, we stopped, when we hear a voice.

"Is that my Angel Adella?" the voice asked.

"Yes, Grandma Manta." Angel replied. "I'm here to talk to you."

Then, Grandma Manta appeared in the spotlight. She was an elderly Manta ray. And the best part is she knows all around the ocean. And of course, she treated her friends and visitors like her family, Angel is what Manta loves the most, when Angel was a kid.

"Good morning, child." said Manta. "You know how much I love it when you can come over to see me. And, what a treat of you to have some friends with you, even your boyfriend."

"Great to see you, too, Grandma Manta." said Flounder.

"Sheldon Seahorse, Zion Zooplank, and Pearl Popps, you three are cute as ever." said Manta.

"Amazing as ever." said Zion.

"Enjoyable." said Pearl.

"Outstanding." said Sheldon.

"And are the rest of you ponies from Equestria?" Manta asked.

"Yes, yes we are." I say.

"You look amazing." said Cloudy Carla.

"Why, thank you, dear." said Manta.

"Grandma Manta serves as my advisor." said Angel. "She always gives me great advise of what I should know."

"So, what brings you all here?" Manta asked Angel.

"Well, we're on a quest to find and stop an evil seapony witch named Shelby." I say.

"Shelby? But, she's so wicked."

"We know." said Ellagant Glare. "But we, the Great Defenders of Friendship, can handle danger like Shelby."

"We are good at solving friendship problems back home and other places, and fighting villains." said Clumsy Bumzy.

"Well little ponies, that is a big trip." said Manta. "You foals need to be careful, Shelby is really famous for trapping intruders in her own magic bubbles"

"Yes, ma'am." I say.

As we were leaving the cave, Grandma Manta was telling Angel something.

"Now child, I know how much you love Flounder Finn. If you want him to marry you, you should remember that God will give you the courage you need. Just express your feelings and tell him how much you love him."

"I will. Thank you so much." said Angel.

Then, as Angel left the cave, we continue swimming through the reef.

We were all still swimming, and swimming, and swimming, everypony got completely bored.

"Man, I'm so bored." said Bubble Burst.

"Me, too." said Sharpy Gem.

"Come on, everypony." said Flounder Finn. "We got to keep our heads up."

What we were noticing is that Clumsy Bumzy was beat boxing to entertain himself.

"Clumsy, why are you beat boxing?" Glory asked.

"It's a way to entertain myself." Clumsy answered. "We can sing during trips, you know? And, I'm singing."

We'd forgotten about making music, we joined Clumsy into a song. Clumsy was beat boxing, while the rest of us were singing our vocals from low to high. Angel and Flounder were singing with us too.

Minutes later after we sang our song, we made it to the other side of the Sandy Reef and found the Sea-Forest of Misery. It was full of prickly sea branches, urchins, and dark green kelp, and it was so scary.

"Looks like a Sea-Forest of Misery to me." said Fearful Moe.

"Okay, everypony, the forest is pretty dangerous. So, we got to stay together." I say.

We all entered the forest together, so we all don't get lost.

We were swimming past the kelp and sea branches, looking for anything suspicious.

"Don't tell me we're going in there." Zion Zooplank begged.

"Sorry, but we are going in there." said Pearl Popps.

"We're all in this together." said Sheldon Seahorse.

When we were swimming near an underwater cliff, something big came out of hiding. It was a giant eel and it scared us.

"Okay everypony, let's just swim past the eel." I say. "i understand there are giant creatures in this part of the sea.

"Call me a giant doctor." Present Prize whimpered.

"Present, I'm a doctor. I'll be here when someone's hurt." said Sapphire Serum.

"Oh right. I keep forgetting." said Present.

Author's Note

The part where Angel met and had a conversation with Grandma Manta was a reference to "Pocahontas," where Pocahontas was visiting Grandmother Willow.

The heroes singing a song with beat boxing was like from "The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning."

Chapter 8: Shipwreck Graveyard

My Little Pony: God's Love Under the Sea

Chapter 8: Shipwreck Graveyard

We made it past the giant eel. Little did we know, we'd found the Shipwreck Graveyard. It was filled with lots of sunken ships from ponies and other creatures from many, many years ago. Whenever a ship sinks into the ocean , it'll be transported to the graveyard.

"The Shipwreck Graveyard." said Flounder Finn.

"A place full of sunken ships." said Angel Adella.

"Have you Hippogrffs lost some ships before?" I asked Flounder and Angel.

"Oh, we have a few times." Angel said.

"Let me tell you of how one of the ships got wrecked." said Flounder.

Flounder's story started a long, long time ago, since Princess Twilight Sparkle opened the School of Friendship. An earth pony named Rockhoof was having trouble fitting into the modern world, after being stuck into limbo for over a thousand years. Twilight and her friends tried to help, but failed to find him a perfect role for him. They decided to get him a job in the navy. When Seaspray's ship runs into thick fog, Rockhoof attempts to navigate the ship using the stars in the night sky to guide it. However, due to the stars' positions being different than they were in his time, Rockhoof accidentally steers the ship to crash on the shore. Unable to serve as an efficient navigator, Rockhoof was dismissed from the navy.

"Yeah, I was reading about Rockhoof." I say. "Before he became a hero, he was born a scrawny earth pony, the son of a farmer . And, he used to live in a village at the foot of a giant volcano. He dreamed he was joining an elite group of pony guards called the Mighty Helm. Unfortunately, due to his scrawny self, he wouldn't join. Then one day, the volcano erupted and threatens to destroy the village. When the villagers refuse to leave their home, Rockhoof was using his shovel to dig a trench and divert the flow of the lava . Through his determination and sheer force of will, the shovel touched something magical, and it went up into Rockhoof's body, making him physically stronger. With the big boost of strength, he finished digging the trench and saving the village. His achievement earns him the respect of his fellow villagers and acceptance into the Mighty Helm's ranks."

Angel and Flounder were listening to every word I said.

"Then, a scholar unicorn named Stygian came to his village to recruit Rockhoof to save his hometown, along the with five more heroes of ancient Equestria. Together, the six heroes defeated the Sirens by banishing them to another world. Then, the pillars contained themselves along with the Pony of Shadows into limbo for over a thousand years. Until, Twilight and her friends released them and redeemed Stygian."

"Wow, that was amazing." said Angel. "Did Rockhoof find a purpose?"

"Oh yes." I answered. "He became a keeper of tales, telling his tales of his times in history."

"Well, we better get going." said Flounder. "We still have to find Shelby."

"Right." I agreed. "Story time's over. Let's get going."

But, before we could continue, I bump into a shark. It was a male Great White Shark."

"Hello." the shark said.

"Hi." I said back.

Everypony else was scared to see a big shark in front of them. Flounder was prepared just in case he attacks.

"I'm Maverick." the shark introduced himself.

He let out one of his fins for a finshake, but none of us touched it.

"It's alright, I understand." said Maverick. "Why trust a shark, right?"

Then, he zoomed towards us and chomped his teeth in front of us, scaring us. But, he wasn't trying to eat us, he was only making a joke.

"So, what brings you seaponies here to the Shipwreck Graveyard?" Maverick asked.

"Well, we were searching for an evil seapony named Shelby." I answered.

"Shelby?!?" Maverick asked shockingly. "Why are you after the sea wtich?"

"Well, she invaded at the ball last night." said Flounder. "And we need to stop her for good."

"I understand." said Maverick. "I can help you all get to her. Really. But first, how do you like to come with me to a little get-together?"

"You mean like a meeting?" Sheldon asked.

"Yes, a meeting, of course. Me and my friends and my other shark friends will tell you everything about Shelby."

"I guess a little meeting won't hurt." Angel said with a little thought. "What do you all think?" she asked us.

"I think so." said Ellagant Glare.

"That's probably fine." said Scarlet Tomato.

"I don't know if we should trust a shark." Flounder suggested.

"It's alright; we don't eat seaponies, I promise." said Maverick. "Now come on, seaponies, let's get going."

Then, we all began to follow the Great White Shark.

Maverick was leading us pass the sunken ships to his home.

"That's a lot of sunken ships and boats all over the place." said Zion Zooplank.

"Indeed, these ships are homes to all sharks. Whenever a ship sinks into the bottom of the sea, a shark family would move into one." Maverick explained.

Maverick lead us to his own home, a ship which was from Equestria from a really, really long time ago.

"Wiggums? Derek?" Maverick called out.

Wiggums was a Great Hammerhead Shark and and Derek was a Sharptooth Lemon Shark.

"Maverick, finally." said Wiggums.

"Prepare yourselves, we got company." Maverick told his friends.

We all entered the ship and were greeted by the other sharks. Maverick was really setting up a meeting with us as he started ringing a bell.

"Alright, friends." said Maverick. "The meeting has officially come to order. Everybody raise your right fins and hooves, and let us all say the pledge."

We all raised our right fins and hooves in the air, but only the sharks know the pledge.

"I am a nice shark; not a mindless eating machine. If I am to change this image, I must first change myself. Seaponies are friends, not food." the sharks pledged.

"Okay, today's meeting is introduction first, then we tell our new seapony friends about Shelby the evil seapony."

Maverick was explaining everything of how the meeting goes. The introduction is when someone comes upstage, introduces him/herself, and tells his/her life.

"I'll start the testimonies." said Maverick. "Hello, my name is Maverick."

"Hi, Maverick." we all said.

"Me and my family had founded this graveyard for all sharks to have homes."

We were all clapping our hooves and fins after Maverick finished sharing his thoughts and feelings.

"Alright, who's next?" Maverick asked.

"Can I, please?" I asked as I was raising my hoof.

"Yes, the little boy up front."

I came up onstage and began to share my feelings.

"Hi, everyone. My name is Special Hoof."

"Hi, Special." everybody said.

"I was born with lots of gifts: wisdom, knowledge, creativity, and many more. Me and my friends became heroes of Equestria, the mainland up in the surface. We were sent on a quest to stop an ancient evil villain from taking over. After that, we started protecting our homeland, solving friendship problems, and teaching everypony the ways and stories of God. We considered ourselves the best ponies in the world. Thank you."

Everybody clapped to me for telling them the story.

"Little foals as heroes? Amazing." said Derek.

"That's incredible and inspiring." said Wiggums.

"Good on you, kid." said Maverick.

"I'm glad I got that off my chest." I sighed in relief.

"Alright, one more before we finish." Maverick said.

"What about me?" Pearl Popps asked.

"Of course, go on ahead."

Pearl came up onstage and started sharing her feelings.

"Hello, I'm Pearl Popps." she said.

"Hi, Pearl." everybody said.

"I'm both a Hippogriff and a seapony when I'm going back and forth. I love being a seapony the most, but whenever I want to go on land, I love being a Hippogriff, too. But, the one thing I love to do is to find pearls. collect pearls, and make things with pearls. I love pearls."

We clapped, when Pearl was finished telling her feelings with us.

"That sounds lovely." said Maverick. "Alright now, let's tell our seapony friends about Shelby."

Maverick got back upstage to tell us.

"Now ponies, Shelby is an evil sea witch. She lives in the Sea Volcanoes of Terror. It's full of big and small underwater volcanoes and populated with angler fish, her minions. Shelby could be able to trap you in her magic bubbles, very inescapable. Beware of her evil forces."

"Thank you, Maverick." I say.

We all left the Shipwreck Graveyard, when the meeting was over. And, we continued our quest for the evil sea witch.

Author's Note

Maverick, Derek, and Wiggums the sharks were like Bruce, Anchor, and Chum from Finding Nemo.

My Little Pony: God's Love Under the Sea

Chapter 9: Crustacean Band

We were swimming towards the Melody Meadow. That place is the most musical underwater place ever; every sea creature would go there to play music, dance, and sing.

"Okay, we went past the Shipwreck Graveyard, and thanks to the sharks, we'll be ready for Shelby." I say. "The next place is the Melody Meadow."

"The Melody Meadow brings me so many wonderful memories." said Angel Adella. "My mom would take me there, and we would have a good time."

"Well, it's getting dark." said Flounder Finn. "Let's go ahead and enjoy the fun, before we get some sleep."

After two minutes of swimming, we made it to the Melody Meadow, and there were lots of sea creatures.

"Here we are." I say.

"It's just as I remember." said Angel when she was looking at the meadow.

We were swimming past the fish and other sea creatures. Angel saw and recognized one of the sea creatures from years ago. It was a female singing dolphin named Wavelette. Wavelette was a really beautiful, special dolphin. She has the most beautiful singing voice just like Princess Angel, and instead of gray skin like other dolphins, Wavelette's skin was all lavender colored. She was Angel's favorite singer ever since her mother took to the Melody Meadow the first time.

"Wavelette!" Angel called out.

"Princess Angel Adella!" she called back. "Welcome back. And what a treat to have more friends here, too."

"Well, the reason why we're here is we're on a quest to stop an evil sea witch named Shelby."

"Shelby?"

"Yes." Flounder answered. "But, it's getting dark, now."

"Is it okay if we rest here for tonight?" I asked.

"Well, that's fine. Anything for our guests." said Wavelette.

"Thank you."

Some fish lead us to where going to sleep for the night. Once we were done setting up our camp, we began to have fun.

As we were dancing to the music, we were seeing the sea creatures playing with musical instruments. Some fish were blowing horns and whistles, crabs and lobsters were playing steel drums, bongos, and a drum set, an octopus was playing the piano, a manta ray was playing a bass, some fish were playing guitars, a fish was playing the harp, another fish was playing with snail shells as a xylophone, and Wavelette began to sing her own song.

The Melody Meadow was the best place ever to visit under the sea. All the sea creatures would go there to have fun with the singing, dancing, and music playing. The dance floor was big enough for the audience to dance and watch the bands. And, the stage was also big enough for lots of sea creatures to perform. For Princess Angel Adella, she loves to sing, dance, and play music underwater, so the Melody Meadow was the number one place to visit.

Wavelette started the show as the sun above the surface went down. Luckily, the Meadow had plenty of lights for everypony to see better under the dark ocean. Wavelette started to sing a song about herself.

Song
The Dolphin Way
Sung by: Wavelette the Dolphin

Wavelette:
Water is where I belong
Yes, this is home to me
No need for any legs or hooves
To go swimming in the sea!

I'm gonna giggle and laugh!
Fralic and play!
Swim all around
Swish, Splash and spray
And it's so much fun!
To live for the day!
Everyone in the ocean knows
That's the dolphin way!

Diving under waves is fun
But I don't stay down there
'Cause you see, I'm not a fish
Like you, I got to breathe air!

I'm gonna giggle and laugh!
Fralic and play!
Swim all around
Swish, splash and spray
And it's so much fun!
To live for the day!
Everyone in the ocean knows
That's the dolphin way!

Ooh...
Swimming all around, here in the ocean!

Chorus:
Here in the ocean!

Wavelette:
I live a life, that's constantly in motion!

I'm gonna giggle and laugh!
Fralic and play!
Swim all around
Swish, splash and spray
And it's so much fun!
To live for the day!
Everyone in the ocean knows
That's the dolphin way! (That's the dolphin way)

That's the dolphin way! (That's the dolphin way)

Oh yeah!
That's the dolphin way! (That's the dolphin way)

After Wavelette sung her song, she asked us and the seaponies to have a turn to sing songs.

(Instrumental Break)

Everypony shout HIP HIP HOORAY!
When Wavelette's Big Band begins to
Big Band begins to
Big Band Begins to play

After we sang our own songs, Wavelette asked Princes Angel to have a turn to sing a song. Angel knows one, but she needed her boyfriend to jion her.

"Flounder, will join me for this song?" Angel asked.

"I will." Flounder answered.

Angel and Flounder joined fins, got onto the dance floor, and began to dance and sing their song.

Song
Can I Have this Dance?
Sung by: Angel Adella and Flounder Finn

Angel:
Take my fin
Take a breath
Pull me close
And take one step

Keep your eyes
Locked to mine
And let the music
Be your guide

Flounder (Angel):
Won't you promise me
(Now won't you promise me)
(That you'll never forget)
We'll keep dancing
(To keep dancing)

Flounder and Angel:
Wherever we go next

It's like catching lightning
The chances of finding
Someone like you

It's one in a million
The chances of feeling
The way we do

And with every step together
We just keep on getting better

Angel (Flounder):
So can I have this dance? (Can I have this dance?)

Founder and Angel?
Can I have this dance?

Flounder:
Take my fin
I'll take the lead
And every turn
Will be safe with me

Don't be afraid
Afraid to fall
You know I'll catch you
Through it all

Flounder (Angel):
And you can't keep us apart
(Even a thousand miles)
(Can't keep us apart)
Cause my heart is
(Cause my heart is)

Flounder and Angel:

Is worth fighting for
You know I believe
That we were meant to be (Angel: Yeah!)

It's like catching lightning
The chances of finding
Someone like

You (Angel: like you)

Flounder and Angel:

After Angel and Flounder's song was over, so was the dance party. So, every fish and sea creature got everything cleaned up and went to sleep.

My Little Pony: God's Love Under the Sea

Chapter 11: Seaquestria Current

We made it to the Seaquestria Current. But, before we could ride inside it, i had to check my GPS to see how we are to Shelby's place.

"Wow, the current looks beautiful." said Peach Fizz.

"Before we could go in, let me check my map." I told everypony.

I took some calculations, and I saw that the exit to Shelby's lair is three hours away.

"It'll take us three to get there." I say. "Let's ride!"

We all got inside the current. When we were looking around, it was so beautiful on the inside. It was pushing us like tidal waves wshing sandcastles away. It feels like riding a slide without touching the surface.

"Wow, this is amazing!" said Glory.

"Being underwater rules!" said Disgusted Lex.

"The Seaquestria Current is the best way to travel across the ocean." said Angel.

"My mom told me she would show me the current someday." Sheldon Seahorse said. "But now, I can see it myself."

While we were riding the current, we saw all the fish and other sea creatures joining us. It makes the picture beautiful. And best of all, we also discovered sea turtles. Flounder had found one turtle he knew.

"Flounder." the turtle called.

The turtle's name was Myrtle, Flounder had recognize him, when he was a younger Hippogriff.

"Myrtle, good to see you." said Flounder.

"It's been a long time," said Myrtle. "And, if isn't the lovely Princess Angel Adella."

"Hi, Myrtle." said Angel.

"And, who are the younger seaponies?"

"Well, I'm Special Hoof, leader of the Great Defenders of Friendship." I say. "And, these are all my friends."

"It's nice to meet you all. Why don't you all find a ride and we'll take you there."

We all started to get onto big sea creatures like bigger fish, sea turtles, dolphins, manta rays, saw fish, beluga whales, and many more.

I was riding on Myrtle, Ellagant Glare, Seashell, Brainiac, Present Prize, Daytime Darwin, Streamer Smooth, Pineapple Tibbet, Lemonlime, Joydan Gallop, Grouchy Storm, and Bumble Barry were also riding on turtles, Angel, Flounder, Glory, Tangerine Twist, Amber Lake, Sharpy Gem, Needle Stitch, Bubble Burst, Soccer Score, Lucky Clover, and Zion Zooplank were riding on manta rays, Clumsy Bumzy, Trueheart, Disgusted Lex, Nighttime Nathan, Scarlet Tomato, Sapphire Serum, Melody Aria, and Sheldon Seahorse were riding on dolphins, Peach Fizz, Cloudy Carla, Color Carol, Hefty Haman, Fearful Moe, and Pearl Popps were riding on saw fish, and Astro Alex and Radish Ryan were riding on big fish. Flounder and Angel were riding together as a romantic couple. Pineapple Tibbet and Lemonlime were together since their tails are attached to each other.

As we were riding on the sea creatures, more fish had enter the current, Myrtle saw the fastest part of current coming up ahead.

"Seaponies, hold on tight. We're going go fast in a few seconds." Myrtle told us.

We obeyed as we were holding on. As we reached the fastest part of the current, we were holding on tighter. Then, we began to go faster. It feels riding on an underwater roller coaster. I was enjoying the ride in the current, even Myrtle was spinning around in circles.

"Ha-ha! Righteous! Righteous! Righteous! Yeah!" Myrtle shouted.

A few minutes later, we were finally slowing down, and began to get off our rides.

"So, what brings you, seaponies, on this blue day to the current?" Myrtle asked me.

"We're heading to Shelby's lair." I answered.

"Well then, why don't you all have fun? It may take a while."

Some baby turtles started hiding from us, they wanted to play. So, me and my friends began to have fun.

We were all having fun with the fish and other sea creatures. We played hide and seek with the baby turtles by finding them under the adults, and we were being swung by the turtles. But as an adult turtle was swinging the chained baby turtles a little too hard, one baby let go and got out of the current. I was about to go out and help him, but Myrtle stopped me.

"Slow down, kid." Myrtle said. "Let's see what Nemo does flying solo."

Nemo was small for a baby, but he was able swim back into the current.

"Wow, that was so awesome!" Nemo said gleefully, swimming towards his father. "Hey, dad, did you see me?"

"You did so great, son!" said Myrtle. "Well, Special, meet Nemo. Nemo, Special."

"Nice to meet you. You are so cool." I say.

"So are you, dude." Nemo said, giving me a noggin.

"Have fun, kiddo."

Nemo caught up with his friends, and they continue playing, Princess Angel was also enjoying the fun. too.

My friends were still playing together with the baby turtles when they approached me.

"Hey, baby turtles, meet our friend and hero leader." said Glory.

"I know him, it's Special." said Nemo. "Let's jump on him!"

The bay turtles jumped on me and tackled me.

"Okay, little ones, that's enough!" I said while laughing.

When they got off, they started to ask me questions.

"So, where are you seaponies going?" Nemo asked.

"We're going to Shelby's place and stop her." I answered.

"Why?" another turtle asked.

"Because she's evil. She was planning to take over Mt. Aris, Seaquestria, and the rest of the ocean."

The turtles were scared by my words. They want to hear my whole story.

"Turtles, I don't think it's a good idea." I say.

But, with the "pleases", I started telling them the story.

"As you can see, it starts at the beginning. Princess Twilight Sparkle, Equestria's rightful ruler, gave me a task to be friends with other creatures around the world. We made all ponies and creatures to live together in harmony. But, the Hippogriffs and seaponies were the last creatures we'd have to be freinds with. Queen Skystar and her cousin, Silverstream, were friends with us moons ago. The night during a royal ball, Shelby appeared and she was going to rule Mt. Aris and Seaquestria. But, before she left, I placed a homing device on her, so we know where she lives. Then yesterday, we started our quest to find and stop Shelby."

The turtles were listening to my story, while all of us were riding in the current.

"We swam across the Sandy Reef, went through the Sea Forest of Misery, encountered sharks at the Shipwreck Graveyard, sang, danced, and played music at the Melody Meadow, bounced on sponges at the Field of Spongepop, rode on blue whales at their territory, and now we're riding inside the Seaquestria Current, so we can reach Shelby's place. Once me and the other defenders defeat the sea witch, the ocean will be in peace."

After I told my story, all the sea creatures all over the ocean started telling it before Wavelette. Wavelette heard my story, so she decided to go to Mt. Aris and tell Queen Skystar.

At the beach at Mt. Aris, Queen Skystar was sitting on the sand, worrying about her daughter. For Silverstream, she packed up her stuff because she wants to return to Equestria, after all these years. She met with Skystar and they began to talk.

"What a day. " said Silverstream.

"What have you been up?" Skystar asked.

"I'm packing up. I want to move back to Equestria."

"Cousin, I've been thinking, about my daughter. This was actually her very first time she left home. I'm glad she had friends to keep her company, but will she ever be ready yo be queen?"

"She'll be fine." Silverstream said. "She will do a perfect job, just like we did."

Silverstream started giving Skystar some motivation by hanging up some memories.

"Ever since the Storm King invaded Mt. Aris, we were sent to hiding until Princess Twilight and her friends showed up. The other Hippogriffs refused to help them stop the Storm King, but not you. You went to Canterlot with them, and you've finally won the battle, getting us out of hiding. And, if that didn't happen, I would've never go to the School of Freindship and learn about friendship."

"Yeah." said Skystar. "And for you, you made friends with different creatures and defeated Cozy Glow from draining magic, replanted the Tree of Harmony, and we all stopped the evil trio from separating us."

"Let's think, Angel Adella is doing the same. She made friends with ponies like we did, agreed to help them on a quest to stop a villain like we did, and she'll make peace with every creature like we did."

"You're actually right." Skystar said with a smile. "My daughter can be like us." Maybe when she's done with her quest, she will be queen."

Just then, Wavelette appeared, when she arrived at Mt. Aris.

"Skystar! Silverstream!" Wavelette called.

"Wavelette." Skystar said when she saw the dolphin.

"What are you doing here?" Sliverstream asked.

Wavelette told Skystar and Silverstream my story of our journey.

"Your daughter and her friends are almost there to save the whole ocean." Wavelette said, when she finished her story.

"That's great. Thank you, Wavelette." said Skystar.

"Well, I'm off, now." Silverstream said, when grabbed her bags. "I'll miss you, but I promise I'll see you again someday. I'll even tell Special's other friends the story."

Then, she flew off to Equestria to find my other friends and maybe even a new home.

Back in Maretime Bay, the remaining defenders were finished with a problem, when they went to the Crystal Brighthouse to see Sunny Starscout, Izzy Moonbow, Hitch Trailblazer, Pipp Petals, Zipp Storm, Misty Brightdawn, and Sparky.

"Hey defenders." said Izzy. "How was your day?"

"Another job, well done." said Horseshoe Henry.

"Oh good."

"And guess what, the Hippogriff queen gave us a letter four days ago. Our operation of being friends with creatures is almost done." said Fruity Tooty.

"Really?!?" Sunny asked joyfully. "Now, we can have peace with the whole world."

"When are we gonna see the Hippogriffs?" Zipp asked.

"Actually, Special and the other defenders already left for Mt. Aris and Seaquestria three days ago." Rollette Skate answered.

"WHAT?!?" Hitch asked with a little frustration. "Special and the others went without us? How many times do I have to say it? We stick together!"

"But, you all have your own jobs in Maretime Bay. Our job is to protect Equestria and maintain peace and balance."

"Well, shouldn't they be back today?" Misty asked.

"We didn't get any word yet." said Constellation.

Just then, my parents, Humble and Sharey Hoof, entered the Brighthouse.

"Hey everypony, how's everything?" Humble asked.

"Well, Special and the other defenders went to Mt. Aris, but haven't heard from them. We don't know if we'd made peace with the Hippogriffs and seaponies." said Bronze.

"Special went on an adventure?" Sharey asked. "I sure hope he's okay."

"He'll be fine." said Pipp. "Remember when he was sucked into a vortex that leads to Wonderworld? he was able take care of himself and his friends."

"True." said Sharey.

Then suddenly, Sparky accidentally breathed fire on Horseshoe's clipboard, turning it into a waffle. Making everypony laugh.

For Silverstream, after flying eighty miles away, she'd made it to Equestria. It was many, many years since she first came to Equestria. And, she'd miss her old friends from the School of Friendship, and earth pony named Sandbar, a griffon named Gallus, a dragon named Smolder, a changeling named Ocellus, and a yak named Yona.

Silverstream had made it to Maretime Bay. She stopped at the Crystal Brighthouse, when she knocked on the door. The ponies were greeting her for her visit.

"Hello, everypony. I'm Silverstream." she greeted herself.

"Silverstream?" Sunny asked excitingly. "The Silverstream?!? The same Hippogriff and seapony who attended the School of Friendship?!?"

"Yes, I am." And, you must be Sunny Starscout, the pony who reunited all ponies and brought back magic."

"Yes. i just want you to know that I'm a big fan of yours. My dad told me stories of you, when I was a foal."

"Finally, somepony remembers my history."

"What are you doing here in Equestria?" Misty asked.

"I'm moving back here, and I've come to deliver a message about the defenders." Silverstream answered.

"The defenders?" Zipp asked. "Are they okay?"

"They're fine. They went on a quest to save Mt. Aris and the ocean."

"They're saving the day, again?" Sharey asked.

"Of course, they've been traveling hundreds of miles. They encountered sharks and eels..."

"Sharks? That can't be them." said Izzy.

"It is, actually." said Silverstream. "What was the leader's name, again?"

"The leader's name is Special Hoof." Pipp said.

"Yeah, that's it. Special Hoof, the wise, little, green pegasus."

"Special's our son." said Sharey.

"I can't believe our son encountered a shark." said Humble.

"I heard he encountered three." said Silverstream.

"Three sharks?" everypony asked.

"That's gonna be forty-eight hundred teeth." said Hitch.

"You see, during the royal ball, my cousin, Queen Skystar, was about to give her blessing to you ponies, before an evil sea witch named Shelby announced that she'll take over our kingdoms and the ocean. So, the defenders decided to travel across the whole ocean to stop her."

"Really?" Izzy asked.

"Skystar's daughter, Princess Angel Adella, her boyfriend, Flounder Finn, and three Hippogriff/seapony kids named Sheldon Seahorse, Zion Zooplank, and Pearl Popps, had volunteered to help them. They all turned into seaponies and started their quest. They were swimming and swimming across the Sandy Reef and the Sea-Forest of Misery. Then, they encountered the three sharks, who helped them about Shelby. Then, our heroes were enjoying the fun at the Melody Meadow. Next, they were bouncing on sponges at the Field of Spongepop. Then, they approached a pod of blue whales and the whales helped them get through the Sea-Foggy Clouds. And right now, the heroes are riding in the Seaquestria Current with the other sea creatures, and the word is, they're almost at the end to stop Shelby and save the day!"

Everypony listened to every word from Silverstream and they were all proud of our quest.

"That sounds amazing." said Misty.

"That's our boy." Humble said proudly as he was hugging his wife.

"I hope they'd come back soon." said Sharey.

"Well, how about we send them good luck and some cutie mark magic love?" Pipp asked.

Everypony agreed, when they were starting to do it.

"I am all three pony kinds wrapped up into one." said Sunny Starscout. "My cutie mark comes to life with hope bright as the sun!"

"I sparkle like the stars because I'm always super glittery." said Izzy Moonbow. "When my cutie mark comes to life, watch this brilliant creativity!"

"I'm the pony of the law. Coolest dragon dad you know." said Hitch Trailblazer. "My cutie mark comes to life, and my kindness overflows!"

"I'm a stylish pop star princess. My voice makes me strong." said Pipp Petals. "When my cutie mark come to life, confidence is my song!"

"I might seem a little quiet, but my strength is very real." said Misty Brightdawn. "When my cutie mark comes to life, my heart helps me feel!"

"I'm a princess of a different kind. Always trying to figure out why." said Zipp Storm. "When my cutie mark comes to life, I blast bravely across the sky!"

Then, the rest of the ponies, even Silverstream showed good luck for me and the others, as a rainbow came out of the Crystal Brighthouse.

"It's been years since I've been here in Equestria." said Silverstream.

"Well, welcome back." said Izzy.

"You know, Silverstream, I think I'll give you a tour of Maretime Bay." Hitch said.

"That will be great." Silverstream agreed.

"I believe we should give the defenders a welcome home party." said Pipp.

Everypony agreed to her idea. They started to go shopping for decorations and food for the party, while Hitch and Sparky were giving Silverstream a tour of Maretime Bay.

My Little Pony: God's Love Under the Sea

Chapter 13: Battle of the Underwater Volcanoes

Back underwater, me, the other defenders, and our seapony friends were still riding in the Seaquestria Current to Shelby's lair.

"How long are going to ride this current?" Astro Alex asked impatiently.

"I don't know." I say. "Bit we'll be there."

"Ponies, prepare yourself. We're gonna go fast again." Myrtle told us.

We all got on our own sea creatures to be ready. As we approached the fastest part of the current, we started to pick up speed.

We were going really fast like riding on a roller coaster, but underwater. We started going up and down, rode the corkscrew, did zigzags and loop-de-loops, and a little whirlpool.

Fifteen minutes later, we were almost to our destination.

"Alright seaponies, get ready! Your exit is coming up!" said Myrtle.

"Exit? What exit?" Trueheart asked.

"There. Right there! I see it!" said Brainiac.

Our exit was straight ahead. It was a spiral current.

"Is it that spiral up ahead?" Sheldon asked.

"That's it, kid." Myrtle answered.

"Of course it is." Grouchy said.

"Alright seaponies, the only way for all of you to get out." Nemo told us. "You have to be fast enough to get into exit."

Luckily, I have a plan of how to get all of us into the exit.

"Everypony, I have a plan." I say. "We should all hold onto each others hooves and fins, so we can all get out together."

One by one, we all took each other's hooves and fins to make a long seapony rope. Now, we were all ready. As we were approaching the exit, I began to use my magic to zoom us into the spiral. Once we got in, we all began to swirl around and around, until we got out at the end. All that spinning made us laughing as we got out.

"Alright, we finally out!" I say.

"That was so much fun!" said Seashell.

"I'd actually enjoyed that ride!" said Clumsy.

"We're okay, my friends." We're okay." said Fearful.

"Hey look, turtles." said Peach Fizz.

we were all seeing the turtles going by before Myrtle leaves.

"Ha-ha! So spectacular!" said Myrtle. "Now, all you have to do is to keep swimming to the underwater volcanoes and you'll find Shelby and stop her for good. No worries, friends!"

"No worries." said Flounder. "Thank you, Myrtle."

The baby turtles and said their goodbyes to us, when they were leaving.

"Angel, say "hi" to your mom for me." Myrtle said to Angel.

"Oh boy, I can't wait to tell my father I met a sea turtle." I said to myself.

Then, I thought of something swiftly.

"Hey Myrtle, I forgot!" I called. "How old are you?"

"A hundred and thirty and still young." Myrtle called back.

"A hundred and thirty? That's so cool. I have to remember that." I say.

We started swimming into a less deep underwater canyon. Our quest was almost over. Once Shelby is defeated, the ocean will be in peace, Queen Skystar will give us her blessing, and our friendship with the Hippogriffs and seaponies will go on forever.

Shelby was still watching us through her magic bubble, and she could see us almost to her place.

"Alright everyone, our travelers are almost here." said Shelby. "Double the weapons and double the minions."

All the angler fish were getting everything ready, before we arrived.

Me and the others made through the underwater canyon and found where Shelby was living. There were lots of underwater volcanoes and spiky coral everywhere.

"This is it, everypony." I say. "We've finally made it to Shelby's place. But, it's full of volcanoes, and there might be minions watching us."

"And let's not forget about what Maverick told us, Shelby may trap us in her magic bubbles." said Flounder. "So stay alert."

We began to enter the Sea Volcanoes of Terror to search for Shelby. But, what we didn't know is that some angler fish were spying on us.

We were swimming through the underwater volcanoes. They weren't about to erupt so it was safe, they only let out some smoke. There were also some urchins on the ocean floor, spiky coral, and some scary sea creatures crawling around. When we were swimming past a few volcanoes, one of them let out a big loud BOOM, scaring us like mice. Fearful Moe was screaming loudly from the noise.

"Everypony, calm down." I told everypony.

"I can't handle the pressure!" Fearful whimpered. "Go on without me."

"Fearful, it's okay." said Trueheart.

"I nearly jeopardized the quest and put us in danger! Throw me overboard when still have the chance! Just leave me some ammo. A little water. Some chips if you have them."

"Fearful, where's your bag?" Soccer Score asked.

Fearful took out his bag out and began to breathe. But, he was breathing too fast, he got the bag into his mouth, choking him. He spit the bag out, finally able to breathe again. We told him to breathe slowly, and he'd slowly breathe to calm down.

"Now do the thing you do to relax." I told Fearful.

Then, we continue swimming. Princess Angel began to talk to me, while we were swimming.

"Special, I'm still worried about having Founder getting away." Angel said.

"Did you pray to God?" I asked.

"Yes. He told me that I have to believe so Flounder will be my husband."

"Well, you should believe, but you should also wait. Because the Bible also said when you wait, you will receive what you have promised."

"Okay."

The angler fish were sneaking behind us. When I looked back and began to attack, and so did everypony else. But, Angel began to hide for her own safety.

All the angler fish came out of hiding to capture us. But luckily, we were able to beat them. We were fighting the angler fish by blasting magic at them, using our weapons to bring them down, blocking their attacks with our shields, and got them trapped in our own traps.

We were fighting the angler fish very well, but then all of the sudden, something bad and unexpected had happened, we were all trapped inside magic bubble, even Angel got trapped after being spotted.

"Everybody, time out!" Shelby shouted as she'd trap us in her bubbles. "Well, well, well, what do we have here? Oh that's right, Princess Angel Adella, the most beautiful one ever, Flounder Finn, the princess's boyfriend, three little seaponies and lots of pony foals from the royal ball. Welcome to my kingdom of doom. Let's get going."

My Little Pony: God's Love Under the Sea

Chapter 14: True Colors, True Hope

We were being dragged in the bubbles, Shelby was taking us into her evil cave.

"Finally!" said Shelby. "I have Queen Skystar's precious little princess."

"So you're going to use me to get rid of my mother?" Angel asked.

"No. I'm going to drain your magic out of you. But, I should have all of the magic from everypony. And with it, I will rule Mt. Aris, Sequestria and the whole ocean!"

"You may never take things that aren't yours." I say.

"Everyone saids that, but I always do. Angler fish, put each bubble into my magic extractor one by one!"

The angler fish placed the first bubble of my friends into the magic extractor, then pressed the button. Then, the extractor started to drain the magic of my friends, causing their color to drain too. Before Angel, Shelby began to have a word with her.

"Now Princess, it is time to talk. I've waited all this time to have everything. Ever since your grandmother had been forcing us to Seaquestria, she kicked me out for being a rampage seapony."

"Well, it's over." said Angel. "My mother and her cousin were more trusting than my grandmother. They trust every creature after the Storm King's defeat. As long as you change your ways, you are welcome to join us."

"I'm sorry. But, I can't, so I must be queen. Not you."

After Shelby drained the magic out of me, my friends, Flounder, Zion, Pearl, Sheldon, it was Angel's turn. When Angel's bubble was placed , an angler fish pressed the button to turn on the extractor, Angel's magic began to drain so fast, she was grunting in pain. After her magic was gone, she turned grey all over her body and hair.

"Alright, that's everypony." said an anglerfish.

"Escort the seaponies to the dungeon." Shelby ordered her minions.

The angler fish dragged all of us to the slammer as Shelby's prisonors. Shelby has our magic, and now she was going to use it to rule over the entire ocean.

The angler fish threw us into a big dungeon and popped the bubbles, then locked us up. We were all completely grey and without magic, and we were all trapped in the slammer. It was a little dark inside and there's no other way out.

Me and the other defenders always know we never give up, so we began to think of a solution.

"Well everypony, we are stuck inside this dungeon, but I'm sure we'll work this out. Let's just think of what to do." I say.

We began to think what to do. But for Princess Angel Adella, she was sad because she felt she's fail her kingdom and family, and she began to cry. We heard her crying and started to give support.

"Angel?" Ellagant Glare asked.

"Everypony, I'm afraid this is completely hopeless." said Angel. "I thought I could be better as the new queen, but I guess I was wrong. I wanted to be like my mom, by going on quests, take care of our kingdom, and have a husband of my own. But now look at me, I'm all grey and without magic. I'm stuck in this place for good. How can I be a good leader, if I never fix my mistakes? I've let everyone down, and I don't know what to do."

She was laying on the ocean floor, crying with her arms wrapped on her face. We felt sad for Angel, she was so downhearted that she feels like a failure.

We thought we were hopeless, but then all of the sudden, Flounder Finn swam up and began to do something that would set things right. He laid in front of his girlfriend and touched her fin. When Angel looked up, she was feeling a little warmth.

"Angel, my love, you can't give up." said Flounder. "I know this is hopeless, but there's always another way. Look, ever since I've first met you at school and you invited me to your birthday ball, I started to have a thing for you. Years later, we became really, really, really, close to each other. The reason I love you is because you are true to yourself. The Angel I love would never stop caring for her close ones. She showed love to all the critters and fish. Even in the darkest times, you'd never loose hope. You can still be you."

"That's why you love me?" Angel asked.

"Yes, my love." Flounder answered.

Angel was moved by her boyfriend's words, her heart began to mend. Flounder started to sing to his girlfriend. He told her not to be discouraged as he realized it was hard to take courage in a world full of people. After he sang a verse, Angel and Flounder's hearts started to glow bright. And so do the hearts of me and the other foals.

Flounder took Angel's fins and raised her up. He also told her that he will always be there no matter what. And then suddenly, as Angel was becoming happy, her colors are starting to return, starting from her chest to the rest of her body. Then, she began to sing with her boyfriend and he was starting to get his color back too. They started to dance and then, colors began to come to us, too. After the dance, Angel and Flounder started to hug each other romantically, we even hugged our close friends after song.

SongTrue Colors
Sung by: Flounder Finn and Angel Adella

Flounder:
You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged, oh I realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
The darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small

Show me a smile then
Don't be unhappy
Can't remember when
I last saw you laughing
This world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
Just call me up
'Cause I will always be there

And I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you

Angel:
So don't be afraid

Angel and Flounder:
To let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful
I see you true colors
Shining through (true colors)
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors (true colors)
Are beautiful

Flounder:
Like a rainbow

Angel:
Oh oh oh oh oh like a rainbow

Flounder:
Ooh can't remember when

Angel and Flounder:
I last saw you laughing
Ooh oh oh oh

Angel:
This world makes you crazy

Angel and Flounder:
And you've taken all you can bear
Just call me up
'Cause I will always be there

And I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid (don't be afraid)
To let them show your true colors
True colors are beautiful
Like a rainbow
Oh oh oh oh oh like a rainbow
Mm mm mm mm mmm
Mmm mmm

My Little Pony: God's Love Under the Sea

Chapter 15: Angel's Radiance

"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.
