The sea was as peaceful and still as glass. Out of nowhere, a high pitched explosion broke the silence. From the distance as four massive lobster like things flew surrounded by several smaller fishlike vehicles with ponies astride them. And following close behind them was a massive wave.

A blue and white earth pony, who seemed to be the leader of the group, turned to another earth pony near him with a scowl and started yelling at him.

"You fool!" He screamed at the wincing young pony. "You've destroyed us all!"

"I'm sorry!" The pony called back.

"We need to warn Atlantis." Another pony called.

"Its gaining!"

"LOOK OUT!"

With a scream, several of the ponies and the lobsters were swallowed by the wave. The few that escaped the wave arrived at an island.

'I'm SO bored.' Bright Eyes groaned to herself. So far, the day had been so dull up in the watch tower that she began to wish she were down at the market. All of a sudden, several fish vehicles flew past her, the drivers screaming so hysterically that the only word she caught was 'wave'.

'What "wave"?' She thought as she moved towards the window.

Suddenly all color drained from her face as her eyes widened to the size of dinner plates. 'That wave.' She thought offhandedly as she moved to the horn shaped object to transmit the warning.

Suddenly Bright Eyes wasn't so bored anymore.

"Everypony to the shelters!" Was the message that rang through the air as the alarm bells rang in symphony. The streets erupted into chaos as everypony panicked, some running to the shelters. Others trying to locate family and friends as fish vehicles crashed to the ground. The sky, filled with bright red beams of light.

In the middle of the chaos a guard pushed through to find the royal family.

"This way, your Highness's." He told them.

An old stallion nodded his head as he followed. Close behind him, was a light grey unicorn mare with a white mane streaked with purple. And their filly, a violet foal with a darker purple mane streaked with magenta and even darker purple.

"Come Twilight." The mare said as she pulled her child forward, making her drop her doll.

"Smartypants!" She cried.

"Twilight leave it!" The queen said as she pulled her daughter in front of her. "There's no time."

As she spoke, a red beam of light touched her and stopped, turning a soft blue. She stood and turned her gaze up to the light. The crystal around her neck floating up and her eyes flushed white.

The king turned, his eyes widening as he saw the soft blue lights converging on his wife. They narrowed into a thin line before once more becoming a beam that picked her up. The little filly, whose hoof the queen had been holding, was surprised when she felt her mother's hoof slip from hers.

"Mother?" She cried, confused.

The queen was pulled higher and higher out of her daughter's reach.

"Mother!"

As the filly reached her hooves up to her mother, a blue light began to surround the city like a great big bubble.

"Mother!"

As the wave closed in, the panic seemed to increase as some ponies went into hysterics. While others clutched those they loved, weeping.

"Mother."

The king ran up to his daughter and wrapped himself around her.

"Close your eyes Twilight! Look away!" He command as he looked up at the blazing light in the sky.

The wave came closer and closer. 'We're all gonna die.' Bright Eyes thought to herself.

'Mother.'

The shield completed itself. A scraping sound was heard as the sea swallowed the great island. And just like that, with a great crash, the ocean returned to normal. As if there was never a great nation there.
