MLP G5: Adventures in Happy Land “There’s A World of Nessies”

As the room went dark by Dark Ness, the remaining four ponies and Sparky were blind in the black. Suddenly there was a white glow shining. It was another ‘ghost’ cutie mark like Celestia pretended to be before, but this one is a crescent moon.

“Follow me,” it said in a familiar voice.

Back in the dance room, the Nessies start to panic by the sudden blackout.

“Stay calm,” Celestia said. “Bright Ness will have the emergency power on in a moment.”

Just like that, the lights came back on by Bright Ness. She notices something coming as the second cutie mark ‘ghost’ comes into the room. It manifests into another ancient Alicorn, Princess Luna.

“It seems we got trouble going on,” she said as the four ponies came in behind her.

“Help us,” Pipp panicked.

“You gotta help up,” Misty said.

The Nessies were startled in surprise at the ponies in their world. Even Celestia was more surprised to see other ponies.

“Our friends have been taken,” Izzy said.

The Nessies don’t know what’s going on and start hopping all over the place. The ponies get worried about what they caused until Celestia flies down.

“STOP,” she yelled.

They all calmed down as they heard her.

“We don't know what’s going on yet,” Luna said. “There’s no reason to panic.”

“But this,” Celestia comments about the four ponies. “This is a surprise. Where did you little ponies come from?”

“From Maretime Bay,” Pipp replied.

“We live in your lighthouse,” Zipp explains. “Which is now rebuilt into the Crystal Brighthouse. We followed your ‘ghost’ cutie mark that led us to the secret entrance.”

“Never thought of that,” Celestia said to herself.

“How are they divided,” Happy Ness asked. “How do they make it look like two of them have no wings and the others no horns?”

“We don’t,” Pipp giggled. “We’re different types of ponies.”

“Perhaps you spend a lot of time with Alicorns,” Zipp said. “That you never got a closer look at the other three tribes. I’m Zipp Storm.”

“And I’m Pipp Petals,” she introduced. “We’re princesses of the pegasus city of Zephyr Heights.”

“We’re unicorns from Bridlewood,” Izzy introduced. “Izzy Moonbow.”

“And I’m Misty Brightdawn,” she introduced. “And our little dragon, Sparky.”

“And I’m Happy Ness,” the queen Nessie introduced. “Welcome, little ponies.”

“I believe this is yours,” Bright Ness asked about the Mare Stream.

Zipp takes out the key fob and locks their vehicle, making streaming sound effects.

“Now, what’s this commotion about your friends,” Celestia asked.

“Our Earth pony friends, Sunny Starscout and Hitch Trailblazer,” Zipp explains. “They were waiting while we checked things out.”

“And two monsters stole them,” Izzy added.

“Izzy,” Pipp said sternly.

“Monsters,” Happy Ness asked. “What did the beasts look like?”

“Well… Uh, no offense,” Pipp explains. “But what we mean to say is that they were Nessies like you.”

“But bad ones,” Misty added. “Like the ones you talked about stealing the Mare Stream.”

“True,” Celestia said. “But not all Nessies are monsters, girls.”

“That’s right,” Happy Ness agreed. “And to prove it, we’ll help you find your friends.”

The other good Nessies cheered in agreement.

Later, Happy Ness and the Alicorn sisters brought the Mane Four to meet Elliot Ness. He’s a light brown/yellow male detective Nessie in a hat. His assistant is known as Gorgeous Ness, an orange female Nessie with white hair and blue dorsal fin, blowing bubble gum.

“Don’t worry, girls,” Gorgeous Ness said. “If any Nessie can get to the bottom of this, it’s Elliot.”

“And that’s the truth, Gorgeous Ness,” He replied. “Matter of fact, I got the case solved already. Since, grabbing your friends is the meanness thing I ever heard of you can bet Mean Ness is involved and the bit you told me about the theater suddenly going dark. Point a finger at Dark Ness.”

“Not to mention the devious and sneaky Nessies you talked about,” Zipp added. “Who tried stealing our ride.”

“But why would they do such a thing, Elliot,” Happy Ness asked.

“Why, indeed,” Elliot Ness replied. “Do your friends have any enemies? Have they ever been in trouble?”

“Are you kidding,” Izzy asked. “Hitch’s deputy this one time went mad with power when he was left in charge. Instead of keeping the town calm, he made himself emperor and tried to declare war on our tribes.”

“A rogue sheriff deputy, huh,” Elliot Ness asked. “Well, we can roll him out. Looks like no one’s got a reason for taking your friends.”

“Come to think of it,” Misty said. “I thought I also heard their voices just before they took them. Saying something about ‘taking the star.’ As in ‘the star of your show?’”

“And sounds to me,” Zipp added. “They thought they meant a Nessie with a star on them.”

“Or a pony with a star cutie mark,” Pipp added. “Like Sunny’s.”

“There’s only one Nessie in Happy Land who would do something like this,” Happy Ness said.

“Right,” Elliot Ness comments. “You’re right, Hap. Who’s that?”

“Pompous Ness,” Happy Ness replied. “Of course.”

“Pompous Ness, of course,” Elliot Ness repeated.

“She’s the ruler of the bad Nessies of Gloom Lagoon,” Celestia explains to the ponies.

“And if she has your friends,” Luna added. “Then we’ve no time to lose.”

Later, the Nessie were rallied on a dock, where the Royalty Spirit was docked. The Alicorn sisters addressed them as this was a rescue mission.”

“Going to Pompous Ness’s castle in Gloom Lagoon,” Celestia said. “Isn’t going to be easy.”

“Any Nessie who wants to go on this mission,” Luna added. “Take one step forward.”

Just like that, they all stepped forward.

“Thank you, body Nessies,” Celestia said. “But a small hand-picked group with all the necessary qualities stand the best chance. Happy, forgetful, reckless, loud and brave. We’re gonna need you all aboard.”

“And now we set sail for Gloom Lagoon,” Luna finished as they saluted.

"YES," Loud Ness shouted.
