In the magical world of United Equestria, Starfleet, the most powerful fight force in the Dimensional Universe resigns as well as five powerful Alicorns. Two for the day. One for the night. One for family and then there’s me, Princess Sapphire Sunlight, the Princess of Friendship. It is my royal duty to make sure everyone in Equestria feels like they belong. It’s a lot’s of live up to. I mean, Princess? Luckily I have amazing friends who are there for me no matter what. I know with my friends by my side, I can be the Princess everyone wants me to be. But some things you just can’t prepare for.

Now on with the main movie plot!

I was in the halls of the Canterlot Palace, being calm. “Ooommm… Oooommm… My goodness! I can’t handle this!” I stated in a panicked tone. “Alright, alright.. Get it together. Just go in there and ask. This is your Friendship Festival. Everyone’s happiness rest in your hands.” … Yeah that pep talk to myself did not do anything to help me. “Ooooh.” I groaned. The door opened and out came Spike, Pony Twilight’s dragon assistant. “Alright, Sarah, I have all your charts and graph.”

“Oh thank goodness, you’re here Spike. I’m just so nervous about this meeting.” I said.

“What are you talking about?” Spike asked.

“I’m about to ask the most royal ponies in Equestria a huge favor. What if they reject me?” I asked.

“I’ll be fine. Just remember the most important thing.”

“... Smile?” I suggested, giving him and large a somewhat creepy smile. “Uh..no.” he said. “You’re a Princess too.”

“...Right!” I said. I took a deep breath and pushed opened the doors to the throne room, seeing the royal party. Grand Ruler Celesto, Queen Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence and Commander Lightning Dawn. “Good morning, everyone. Thank you all for seeing me. I have an idea that I think will make our Friendship Festival the most wonderful celebration Equestria has ever seen!”

“Yes, Sapphire! We are very excited!” Celestia said.

“Ponies have been arriving from all over all morning.” Cadence added.

“I'd like to think it's to see us, but Songbird Serenade might be the bigger attraction.” Luna stated.

“Yes, she is the... "mane" event!” I giggled a little. “And to make it extra special, I could use your help. Spike?”

Spike rolled out a large white board and as I talked Spike drew out everything. “Songbird Serenade's performance is not scheduled to start until after you begin the sunset. And based on my precise calculation, to get the very best lighting for the stage, Princess Celestia, I was hoping you could make sure the sun stays about 28.1º to the south, and, Princess Luna, if you could raise the moon 62º to the north at the same time, it would reflect the sunlight on the other side and really frame the entire stage perfectly!”

“I…” Luna stuttered.

“But wait! There's more! Cadance, if you could use your crystal magic to create an aurora above the stage, the sun and the moon will shine through it and create a truly amazing light show!”

“Presenting Songbird Serenade!” Spike cheered holding a little stick with Songbird Serenade’s sticker on it. “Ta-da…”

“So you're saying you want us to move the sun and the moon for the party?” Luna asked.

“Well, I'd do it myself, except I don't have your magic.” I laughed nervously. Grand Ruler and Queen Celestia came up to me, “Sapphire, each of us uses our powers to serve Equestria in our own way. You are the Princess of Friendship. You already have all the magic you need.” Celestia said to me

“So... that'd be a no?” I questioned.

Third Person POV

Meanwhile the Mane 5, Human Starfleet gang and adults were getting everything ready for the Friendship Festival. Sapphire had placed special ribbons on her human friends so they don't get confused with their pony counterparts.

The two Rainbow Dash had finished clearing the clouds. “Skies clear and ready for the festival.” they zipped down and saw the two Raritys placing diamonds on the ribbons. The Pinkies were blowing up balloons for the party. Sci-Twi, Mr. Grandruler, Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna were making sure everything was in tip top shape. Dean Cadence and Shining Armor were laying against the stage out of the way. Pony Applejack came over with Applejack hauling a large barrel of apple cider. “Anypony up for some free samples of my family's apple cider?” she asked aloud.

Pony Rainbow grinned and zipped over, “Thank you.” and zipped back. “Love’d it.”

The two Applejacks admired the Raritys work. “Wow. It's a fine job you're doin' there. 'Course it might not get done 'til after the concert.”

“Yeah, Songbird Serenade will love it.” Human Rarity added.

“Applejack anypony can do "fine". Sapphire asked us, so clearly, she's going for fabulous, and fabulous takes time.” Rarity said.

“Fabulous takes forever!” The two Rainbows whined, “But "awesome"...” they both flew past the stage, putting the diamonds on the ribbons in a sloppy manner. She returned to Raritys’ side. “...can get done in four seconds flat! Faster if I do my sonic rainboom!”

“Aah! No, no, oh no! Don't you dare, Rainbow Dash! It looks wretched enough already.” Human Rarity exclaimed.

"It looks fine." Human Rainbow Dash said.

“If you were raised in a barn! Ahem, no offense, Applejack.” Rarity said.

“None taken. Especially since I wasn't raised in a barn. My family just happens to have a barn. Where I was born. And... spent most of my formative years…” Pony Applejack stated.

“Raised in a barn!” Rainbow and Human Rainbow said quickly in unison.

POV Ends

Then, I came over with Spike holding a list with my hands, “Okay, just two hundred and eighteen things left to do and we're ready.”

“Hey Sapphire.” All my friends greeted.

“So how’d it go with the royal ones? Did they like your idea?” Pony Applejack asked.

“I bet they loved it!” The Pinkies called out in the background. I sighed, “Not exactly. They think I can make today perfect without their magic.”

“And they are absolutely right.” Dean Cadence said. “Yeah, this festival was you brilliant idea and we all know your up the task.” I still wasn’t convinced. “Are you sure?” I asked. All my friends nodded. That’s when the Dazzlings, Vulcan and the minions onto the scene. "i see everything is in order here." Vulcan said.

"And the stage looks gorgeous." Marla said with her eyes sparkling. The boys sighed.

That’s when Pony Pinkie grabbed my face and literally smashed it against hers. “Sapphire, look at me! This will be the biggest celebration Equestria has ever seen! As the Princess of Friendship, you cannot fail! This day will define who you are! The pressure is intense! It's almost too much for any single pony to handle!” She then screamed and ponies nearby gasped.

“Too far, Pinkie. Too far.” Pony Rainbow said.

I blinked twice and Pinkie hopped off of me. “But you have us. So stop worrying.” she said. Music started playing as I smiled nervously and Human Applejack helped me up.

Human Rainbow grabbed me and took me into the sky.

He took one of the gems and at them

I flew into the sky, overlooking the area.

Suddenly, I heard a large ‘POP’ sound behind me. I turned around and look up… only to be consumed by giant cake pieces.

“Oh dear!” Rarity exclaimed. I popped my head out, “Pinkies!” and a lit candle landed on my head. The two Pinkies popped out of her cannon, “Oops sorry, guess my large party cannon needs a little more fine tuning.” Pony Pinkie admitted. “Sorry.” Human Pinkie apologized. I only groaned. I walked out of the cake and cleaned myself just as ponies were whispering.

“Songbird Serenade, is it really her?”

“It is, It is.”

Through the crowd came two bodyguard ponies and in the middle was a beige pegasus pony with a tan and black mane and tail. The mane covered her eyes and she was wearing a black jacket. “Hi, I’m looking for the pony in charge.” she asked. Cameras flashed and she did a few poses. “I need to get ready for my soundcheck.”

“Songbird Serenade!” I called. “Hi, my name is Sapphire and I’m the human in charge.”

“Ah good-” Before she could continue, there was a the sound of thunder. We all looked up and saw dark clouds coming over and filling the air. “Storm clouds?” Luna asked.

“Rainbow Dash?” I asked.

“Uh, I don't’ think those are storm clouds.” Pony Rainbow said.

“Yeah. I have a bad feeling about those clouds.” Lightning said.

“Me too.” Human Starla said.

Then a weird looking airship came out of the cloud.

“Ooh! I bet those are the clowns I ordered!” Pony Pinkie cheered, but when the ship got closer she added, “...Or definitely not the clowns I ordered. The airship was stationed right in front of us and broke of the thin pillars. A walk path came out and out came a small hedgehog carrying a loudspeaker and a mic. The hedgehog cleared his throat and said, Ponies of United Equethtria, we come on behalf of the fearsome, the powerful, the almighty...Storm King!

I narrowed my eyes a little as the rest of my friends started in concern and suspicion. The hedgehog continued, “And now, to deliver the evil, evil methage, put your hooves together for Commander Tempeeeetht!”

We heard footsteps and out came a unicorn mare wearing gray armor. She had a scar over her left eyes and… she had a broken horn!

Most of the ponies gasped, ”What the-?” Lightning asked.

“Is that a unicorn?” Sci-Twi asked.

“I think so, but what happened to her horn.” Dragon Spike asked.

“It looks like it was cut off or something.” Buddy stated.

That’s when Grand Ruler, Lightning Celestia, Luna and Cadence came down, “Tempest, is it? How may we help you?”

“Oh I’m so glad. How about we start with your complete and total surrender.” Tempest said. Okay. She’s bad news and the rest of the gang knew it too. I decided to step forward with caution. Um.. “hi there. Princess of Friendship. Not exactly sure what's going on, but I know we can talk things out.”

I swear I heard Human Lightning and Rainbow facepalmed. “Oh goodie.” Tempest said. “All six alicorns.” she began to walk down the walkway. “Here’s the deal, I need your magic. Give it up nicely please, or else we make it difficult for everyone.”

“And why should we cower before you?” Luna asked. “There’s one of you and hundreds of us.”

Tempest chuckled, “I was hoping you’d choose ‘Difficult’.” That’s when more airships came in and large Storm creatures came out and landed in the area. Ponies screamed and ran for their lives. "Woah!" Buddy exclaimed.

Tempest leaped into the air and threw an obsidian orb at Queen Celestia. Princess Cadence stepped in front of her aunts and used a shield to protect them, but the orb broke through and hit her, “YAAHHH!” she cried. I gasped in horror as she was turning into a statue. “Oh my goodness!” Rarity cried.

“Cadence!” Celestia and Grand Ruler cried.

“Agh! I can’t stop it!” Cadence cried as she was turned to stone.

Tempest started running through the panic crowd. Queen Celestia and Grand Ruler turned to Princess Luna and Lightning, “Luna, Lightning, quick go South beyond the Badlands.” they both started. Luna and Lightning nodded. Tempest threw another obsidian orb. “Seek the dragon world and help from the Queen of the hippo-” they didn’t finish when the orb hit them turning them into statues. Luna and Lightning gasped and made flew into the air, but Tempest threw another orb at them. It struck them and they turned into and statute mid-air and I used my magic to catch them. “Ugh. Luna! Commander!” she cried.

Tempest chuckled and she launched another orb right at me. I gasped. “Sapphire!” Human Rainbow quickly grabbed me and pulled me out of the way, letting the orb hit someone else. “Easy as pie.” Tempest smirked.

“Oh I love pie.” the hedgehog said. “Oh you totally got the last Princess.” But when the green smoke clear it was revealed that the statue was a pegasus pony. “That’s not the Princess.” Tempest growled. She turned to the hedgehog. “Grubber, get her now!”

“Guys, we gotta get the Princess!” he cried.

“Over here, you guys!” Human Applejack said. My friends, the Grandruler family, Twilight and her family along with the former villains were near the bridge. Rainbow and I dashed through the Storm creatures and made it onto the bridge along with the others, but our path was blocked by two other Storm Creatures. We stopped and I fired my magic, but one of them bounced it off with a shield hitting the ground and breaking the bridge beneath us. “AAAAHHHH!” We all screamed and we fell into the water.

We all breached the surface and the current carried us over a waterfall "Oh no!" Lightning exclaimed.

“AHHH!” I cried as we all fell down the waterfall.

Third Person POV

Grubber and two Storm Creatures looked over the edge. “Which one of you guyth ith goin' down there?” The Storm Creatures growled, “ I would, but I just had a hearty meal, and I will think and I will thide-cramp. I'm very big-boned. I think quick.”

POV Ends

We all were now hiding under a fallen tree, miles from Canterlot which was now surrounded by the dark clouds and had more airships coming in. I was standing by the water while my friends were under the fallen tree. “Everyone alright?” Celestia asked.

“Yeah… I think so.” Aria said a little daze from the fall.

“We just got our butts kicked by the worst party crashers ever!” Pinkie Pie said.

“We got to go back there and fight!” Rainbow Dash said.

“You saw those goons and that unicorn. You seriously want to go back?!” Buddy exclaimed. “That’s suicide!”

“So now what? We can’t hide here forever.” Applejack said. “And let’s be honest, we can’t go back. Look at what they did to our counterparts. We have to keep them from Sapphire."

“Applejack's right. Tempest said she wants the four Princesses magic. She’s already captured five of them. Sapphire's the last Princess. We have to keep her away from Tempest.” Celesto added.

“So what do we do now?” Fluttershy said.

Meanwhile, I was thinking about what Queen Celestia said. “The Queen.”

“Uh, what queen?” Kaede asked.

“Grand Ruler Celestia told Luna and Lightning to go to the dragon world and find the Queen of the Hippo- something. They can’t, so I have to.” I said.

“How? You don’t have the faintest clue as to where they are.” Artie said.

“There somewhere south, past the Badlands.” I added. “I understand you’re scared and nobody else has to go, but I have to find this world and the Queen. It might be our only hope.” I said. I began walking when Rainbow came in front of me, “Well you're not going out there alone where that unicorn can grab you. Wherever you go, we go. We’re in this together.” She said with a toothy grin. “We’re not letting you do this quest alone.”

Applejack came up and put a arm around her shoulder, “We got your back.”

“Indeedy.” Pinkie added.

“Count me in!” Starla added.

“I’m ready to save Equestria!” Rarity said.

“Yeah.” Fluttershy.

"We'll help too." Marla said, speaking for the former villains

“We’re all behind you Sarah.” Celestia said. I smiled at all my friends and nodded. “Now let’s get moving.” I said and with that we walked through the forest for the Badlands on our quest to save Equestria.

Third Person POV

In New Canterlot, the Storm Creatures had captured all the ponies and muzzled them and forcing them to walk, connected with chains. Other were placed in cages. Tempest was on the balcony of the palace. She walked inside where the five statues were. Each were on a corner of a four petaled flower. Lightning Dawn's friends were off to the side as statues as well. “All this power wasted on parties when there are far greater uses.”

There was a small cauldron in the middle of the room and one Storm Creature came in holding an orb that was ringing. “Well? Answer it!.” Tempest ordered. The Storm Creature poured the liquid into the cauldron and out came and image of the Storm King.

“Where am I supposed to be looking? I never understand how this spell works. Tempest!” The Storm King called.

“Over here, Your Excellency..” Tempest called.

“Where?”

“Over here.”

“Huh?”

“No. No, right. Look right.”

“My right?”

“Yep.”

“Oh. There you are. Here's the deal. I'm in the middle of a big rebrand here. "The Storm King" is tracking well as "intensely intimidating", but you know what? I need to back it up. You know what I need to back it up with? A storm! That would be great! You promised me magic that could control the elements, and right now, I'm holding a what? A branch. A twig. Bleh!”

“Uh, that would be the Staff of Sacanas, Your Excellency, and it will channel the magic of the four rulers of this land. You'll soon have the power of a hundred armies.”

“So that would be a yes on your locking down the four Pegacornicuseses, or whatever you call them?”

“Give me three days. I'll have everything ready for your arrival.”

The Storm King's’ voice then turned ominous, “Remember, Tempest. Only I have the power to make you whole. Make this twig work, and you'll get your reward. Fail me, and your horn won't be the only thing that's broken.”

“It won't be a problem.” And the Storm King suddenly turned upbeat, “Great! I'm ready to power up, crash and bash, and be the biggest, baddest bugaloooooo…” and the spell finished.

“Thorry, bad thpell thervice. You want me to call him back?” Gruber asked.

“Do you have the Princess?”

“Well, uh, funny thtory. It kinda theemth like she... she might've like, you know, got away... a little bit. I know you're dithappointed, but I got one word for you: "thpongecake".” Tempest zapped Grubber with her electricity. “I need all four for the staff to work.” Tempest growled.

“Hey, I know! I want the Thtorm King to fix that crazy horn as badly as you do. It lookth like a crackly chipped tooth on the top of your head. And you know you don't look good in hatth.” She sharply turned towards him. “That Princess is not gonna keep me from getting my horn back! Prepare my ship!” Grubber freaked but he went to prepare her ship. Tempest returned to her calm demeanor.

“Please. How far could one little human get on her own?” Tempest asked.

POV Ends

Now we were in the Badlands Desert. There were no clouds in the sky and just sand everywhere. I had Blitz by my side in his chibi form. The heat and humidity didn’t affect him and I that much. My friends, on the other hand…. Eh.

I turned back and saw them sweating profusely and walking slow. They all looked like they were gonna pass out.

"I...can't...take it...anymore..." Fluttershy complained.

“Soo… hot…” Buddy groaned.

“Tell.. me… about it.” Lightning added.

I felt bad for them. I was up ahead by a few feet. looked at the sun. There weren’t any clouds in the sky. “How can I block the sunlight? Aha!” I changed into a Typhoomerang dragon and hovered over my friends. My large wingspan covered them in the shade. They all gave a sigh of relief. “Thanks… Sapphire..” Cadence said.

“No problem” I said.

“How… much… farther?” Luna asked.

“Hey… when did this… road get here?” Starla asked in a tired voice.

“A road..?” Sci-Twi said. My friends came over a sandy hill and they smiled. Up ahead was a town.

“A town.” I finished. Seeing the town, must have gave my friends an extra boost of energy because they started walking a bit faster. When we got closer to the town, I landed on the ground and turned into my human self. We entered the town and saw there were pig creatures and some vendors too. Fluttershy looked around and saw cages with animals in them. One pig creature dropped a barrel, “I got it.” I said and I used my magic to lift it up. “ Hey! No magic around my merchandise!” the pig creature exclaimed, frightening us a little and we scurried away while Rainbow snarled at the pig creature.

“This place give me the creeps.” Celestia said as she held her husbands hand.

"Just stay together everyone." Celesto advised.

Suddenly, a voice called out. "How much for the green dog?"

“Huh?” We all asked.

“The green dog.” the vendor said again, pointing to Blitz. Blitz growled and chirped angrily.

“Uh, sorry Blitz isn't for sale.” I said.

“I want the small girl. I'll give ya two storm bucks for it!” another vendor said.

“Our daughter is not for sale either." Celestia growled. The various another creatures started to surround us, saying multiple bids. Lightning and Sunset got in front of us for protection. We were cornered against a wall, but before any of them could touch us, an anthropomorphic cat leaped in front of us. He wore a red robe and had a blue ring on his tail. “Backup, everyone! Back it up! Y'all in some serious danger! Now you didn't touch any of them, did you? Just look at all those colors! You think that's natural? They're infected with ‘pastelis coloritis’.” he said.

The creatures gasped. “ Now, you listen here, cat, there ain't—” Jack tried to say but was cut off by the cat.

"Don't worry, don't worry, as long as you're not covered in purple splotches, you'll be fine. Uh-oh.”

"What do I do?!” One creature asked.

“Enjoy your last moments and don't touch anyone. Because parts will fall off.” The creatures screamed and ran away, leaving the streets vacant.”Well, all right.” he said and he purrs a little. "You are.. awesome!" Rainbow said.

“Capper’s the name and charming's’ my game.” Capper said. I approached Capper, “Hi, Capper. My name is Sapphire and these are all my friends, Lightning, Starla, Buddy, Artie, Rhymey, Dyno, Myte, Fluttershy, Applejack, Rainbow, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Twilight, Marla, Bronc, Keto, Vulcan, Aria, Sonata and Adaigo."

“Nice to meet you all.” Capper said. My dad and Lightning pulled me off to the side, “I don’t think we should trust him." Lightning said.

“I agree with Lightning. He might be hiding something.” My dad said.

“Maybe we should, I mean we could use a friend out here.” I stated. Capper suddenly came over, “You know what, the little female is right. And if I do say so myself….”

Capper led us into his home. There were shelves with bottles on it and it looked like a hodgepodge of some sort. “ Apologies for the state of my litter box. I wasn't expecting guests.”

"Gross." Lightning grunted.

“Y'all sure you want the Hippos?” Capper asked.

“It’s Hippo-something. I know it can’t just be hippos.” I replied.

“Right, now let’s see what we have here.” Starla said.

Third Person POV

Tempest, Grubber and some Storm Creatures were walking through Klugetown. The creatures of Klugetown were screaming and running away. “You really think the humans got thith far?” Grubber asked. Tempest saw one of Sapphire's feathers on a stand, “ Oh, they're here. Attention! A little hybrid human passed this way. Tell me where she is…”

“..or thumpin real bad'th gonna happen.” Grubber added.

“You think we're gonna fall for this again? I don't know what kinda scam you're workin' with Capper and the rest of your friends, but--” One fish creature stated.

“Friends?” Tempest asked.

“Poison or no poison, you're gonna pay!” Tempest didn’t flinch instead she knocked the fish creature down and threw him onto the ground! “Ohhhh, Fishman juth got dropped!” Grubber said. Tempest approached the fish creature. “Now… about this… Capper.” she lit her horn, emphasizing she was serious.

POV Ends

Meanwhile, while I was looking through some of the books, Rarity was with Capper and she fixed a button on his robe. “ Here you go. I do apologize. If we were back home I could've done something truly fabulous.” she said. Capper looked at her with suspicion, “Okay... What's the catch?”

“Nothing. After all that you've done for us, consider it a "thank you".” Rarity admitted, surprising Capper since nobody ever thanked him for anything. “Oh. Uh, don't thank me. Really.”

“Guys!” I called. I placed a map on the table. “I found the Queen, Celestia said. We need the Queen of the Hippogriffs; part pony, part eagle!”

“Hippogriffs. Cool!” Lightning said. Capper came over, “Oh! Oh, the Hippogriffs! Now, the trouble with that is no one knows where they are.”

“The map says they live on Mount Aris. Where’s that?” I asked.

“Maybe it’s that large mountain out the window.” Artie stated, nonchalantly, pointing out the window. We went over to the window and saw the mountain in the distance. “That’s it!” I exclaimed. “We’ve got to get to the mountain.”

“You need an airship! And lucky for you, I can get you a ride.” Capper said.

“No, no, Capper, you’ve done enough. We can take it from here.” I reassured. Suddenly, the door was busted down and certain hornless unicorn came in, slowly. “Hehehe… silly humans.” Tempest said.

“Tempest.” I said in fear. My friends gasped in shocked and fear.

“Trusting strangers? Big mistake. Big…”

“Huge!” Grubber added. The two slowly walked towards us. “Ummm… any ideas, guys?” Twilight asked nervously. I used my magic to make a small cloud of dust in the room, which Tempest, stopped with her electricity. My friends climbed on the windmill outside.

“Go, Go!” I flew out the window. “Get her now!” Tempest ordered and the Storm Creatures went to work. “You’re gonna be scared now, humans.” Grubber said.

My friends were on a single windmill when one of the Storm Creature held on part of the windmill. The girls screamed. I went over and pushed one of the blades of the windmill with all my might. The struggle broke the device holding the windmill and hitting the Storm Creature in the face. My friends screamed in fear as the windmill dislodged itself and started rolling through town.

“I'm... gonna... be... sick!” Applejack said.

The rest were screaming and panting. They leaped off and rushed across a platform which was getting destroyed by the windmill. They leaped into a small entryway. “We have to get there to the docks!” I said. We all rushed up the stairs just as the ship was leaving. “Hurry!” Twilight added.

I rushed ahead and grabbed the rope and pulled it, allowing my friends to walk along the rope, like tightrope walkers. All of them walked across it while Fluttershy and Rainbow flew over. "That's it. Steady, don't look down now." Applejack said to the others. The Dazzlings and the minions went next but Celesto and Celestia saw the Storm Creatures coming and they leaped onto it, pulling me and they slipped off. “WAAAHH!”

“Oh no!” Lightning cried.

“Mom, Dad!” . I ditched the rope and dove for my mom and dad and I luckily caught them before they hit some rocks. I flew them over to the airship and we landed roughly on it. I was panting heavily. “Sapphire, you okay?” Lightning asked.

“Yeah, I’m alright.” I reassured.

“Shhh!” Applejack snapped. We were behind some large crates and hear some voices. “Did you hear something?” Boyle asked. Squabble squawked. "Eh, probably just the rats. If we find 'em, we'll eat 'em.” Boyle said.

Rarity gulped nervously, “Rats?”

“Let’s just stay quiet.” I whispered. Hopefully, these guys would be friends to us.

Third Person POV

Capper was brought before Tempest and Grubber.

“Now... where are they going?” she asked, chargin her horn up. Capper got up, “Okay. No need for violence. Uh, they're headed…” The button Kaede sewed on sparkled reminding Caper about her generosity. He winced and suddenly got an idea, “They headed east! Yeah, to... to Black Skull Island. So, uh, glad I could be of service to His Majesty, the Storm King. I'll just be on my way.” The Storm Creatures blocked his way.

“When I get my Princess. Until then, your fate is still... up in the air.” Tempest said.

“Oh, you're gonna go in the thkiff! Which ith a boat! Thpethifically, a air-boat!” he laughed. The Storm Creatures brought Capper abroad, “We make a great team. I love it how you thaid hith fate with "up in the air", and then I thaid, "you're gonna be in the air on an airboat!"

Meanwhile, on the airship, I peeked over the crates and saw the anthropomorphic parrots. “What do you think Sapphire, should we ask them to take us?” Fluttershy asked.

“No way!” Lightning whispered. “They’re pirates for God’s sake.”

Suddenly, Boyle picked up and crate, exposing us. ”Looks like a pack of stowaways.” Mullet said.

“What are we s'posed to do with 'em?” Lix Spittle added.

“What say the book, Captain Celaeno?” Mullet asked.

Captain Celano, an tanish parrot with green feathers and a green prosthetic leg as a same sort of crystal, came over with a book in her hands, “Storm King's rule book says, "Throw them overboard."

“Huh?” My friends exclaimed. The parrots moved forward, ready to grab us. Lightning and I got ready to fight when the union whistle blew. “All right! That's lunch!” Captain Celano stated and we were suddenly in a room, eating pudding with the parrots. “Whoa whoa whoa! So you were about to toss us overboard and you stopped for a lunch break?” Rainbow questioned, getting a ‘Shut up’ expression from Lightning and Celesto.

“Storm King only allows one break a day for meals, then it's back to hauling goods.” Boyle said.

“So you're delivery guys?” Twilight asked.

“And gals. These uniforms aren't exactly doing us any favors.” Celano said.

“Then can you deliver us to Mount Aris?” I asked.

“Sorry. We do what the Storm King orders or we suffer his wrath.” Celano stated.

Well, that was a bust. “Right. Still going overboard.”

“Eh, it's nothing personal. Pudding?” Lix Spittle said.

“You weren't always delivery birds, were you?” Rainbow asked. “Yeah, what about before the Storm King?” I added.

“Yeah. We used to be much more adventurous.” Celano moved a flag with the Storm King’s picture on it and it showed a skull and crossbone picture.

“Whoa! You used to be pirates?!” Luna exclaimed.

“Um, we prefer the term "swashbuckling treasure hunters".” Mullet suggested.

“So... pirates.” I deadpanned.

Squabble squawked.

"You birds have a choice to take." I said. "You can let some cloven hoofed Storm King tell you how to live your lives or" I tore down the Storm King poster. "You can be awesome again."

“Sapphire, this isn’t a good time for a-” Twilight tried to say but. Too Late.

Now at the wheel, Captain Celaeno said, “Come on, let’s show these little humans how it’s done!”

Her crew mates pulled some ropes and the ship revealed colorful rainbow wings in the side. My friends gazed in awe at them. “Awesome!” Rainbow said. “I knew you had it in you.”

“Me too!” I added.

“It’s thanks to you two.” Celaeno said.

“Hey Sapphire!” Pinkie Pie called. I went down to see her and Mullet. “What is it?”

“Can you make a dragon out of your magic?” she asked.

“A dragon? Well.. yeah, but we’re trying not be spotted, remember?” I inquired.

“Oh it’ll be just a small dragon.” Pinkie reassured.

“Well… alright.” I lit my horn and a ghostly image of a dragon came out of it. It was in rainbow colors. It roared loudly and flew around the airship. “Wow!” Celaeno exclaimed.

“Sapphire! What are you doing!” Celesto exclaimed with worry. “Stop it!”

“Okay.” I made the dragon disappear with my magic. “You better be lucky no one, except for us saw that.” Celesto said with a sigh.

“Uh… honey.” Celestia said with fear, pointing towards the clouds..

And we saw a Storm King airship. “Ugh. Storm guards. Looks like they found you.” Celaeno said.

“Tempest!” Twilight cried. Blitz chirped in anger.

“Secure the rigging, lock down the cargo. Everyone prepare to be boarded!” Celaeno said. Mullet ushered up to the cargo hold of the ship. “Do you think she saw me small dragon?” I asked innocently.

“Are you kidding me?!” Celesto exclaimed.

“Sorry, hehe.” I said nervously. Celesto looked upset with me.

“Oh relax. She didn’t mean it.” Luna said. Celesto sighed and shook his head. We all felt the ship lunge to the right, making us all fall on top of each other. Then we heard the sound of Tempests shoes hitting the floor. “We have to get off this ship, before Tempest figures out we’re here!” he hissed.

“We helped them get their mojo back. They are not going to give us up.” Rainbow said.

“I wouldn’t bet on it.” Bronc scoffed.

“Guys stop it. Right now we have to get off this ship.” Sonata said.

“How? We’re thousands of feet in the air.” Keto pointed out. “I hope they’re alright.” Nonetheless, I looked around the cargo hold and saw a open crate and a flag and some rope. I got an idea, “I got this.”

Third Person POV

On the ship, Tempest was interrogating the pirate crew. “Now, I'm gonna count to three, and if you don't tell me where they are, your ship is going down. One…”

Sapphire gave the flag to Lightning, “Hold this!”

“What are you doing?!” he asked. Sapphire flipped the lever.

“...two…” Celeano knew she couldn’t let her and her crews’ new friends be captured by Tempest and she clenched her sword.

“Oh, thith is inteeenth!” Grubber said.

“Three!” The girls scream was heard from the cargo hold. Tempest and the Storm Creatures turned towards the source, “What?”

Captain Celaeno gasped when she realized Sapphire must have opened the cargo latch.

POV Ends

Okay so I opened the cargo hatch and now we were all falling from the sky. “I’m gonna kill you, Sarah!” Jack exclaimed.

“Oh for the Gods' sake!” Celestia exclaimed as well.

Fluttershy whimpered as he looked down at the incoming ground. “I can’t look!” she covered her eyes in fear. Applejack pressed his hat against his head to keep it on. "This wind is going to ruin my hair!" Marla exclaimed.

"Seriously?!" Bronc exclaimed.

“AAAAHHH HATING THIS!” Lightning exclaimed. Anyway, I lit my horn and grabbed my friends in my magic and put them in the crate. I then grabbed grab the rope and the flag in my magic. “What in the world is she up to?” Applejack asked.

I tied the rope around the crate and flag and I used my fire magic to fill the flag up with air. The crate slowed a little, but it was still falling as fast. “YYYAAAAAHHH!” Everybody screamed. When suddenly, something caught me and pulled the crate up, slowing its decent.

“What the-?” Mason asked.

What appeared on either side was a familiar Night Fury and Light Fury, “Midnight! Snowflake! ” I cried in joy.

My friends other dragons appeared and caught everyone. They were all glad to see their dragons friends.

Midnight warbled, “Midnight said they were flying in the sky when they saw the invasion. They were about to fly down and rescue us, but Snowflake said it was too risky so they had to wait.” Snowflake warbled, “They were following us from a distance, trying to stay out of Tempests’ sight. When they saw she was nowhere around them came towards us.”

The dragons nuzzled their respective riders. “Well, this mission should go a lot smoother.” Celesto said.

“Right.” Rainbow hovered and began pushing the crate. “Next stop, Mount Aris!”

“We’re home free!” Twilight cried. We all cheered happily as we made our way to Mount Aris.

Third Person POV

Meanwhile, Tempest and the Storm Creatures were searching the ship for Sapphire and company. Grubber came up to her, “ There'th no humanieth. But I found thith. It'th a... kind of a cupcake... with thprinkleth... Oh, yeah, and I found thith, too.” he held up the map that Sarah and company left behind

Tempest looked at the map, “Huh.”

“Wow, this is a real artitht!”

“Looks like they're heading to Mount Aris.”

“Really? Mou- Mount Aris? I... Well, that's my mis— I didn't know that... Mount Ari... My bad, I didn't... That's my... I'm sorry, I'm very very sorry.” Capper said.

“Now, about your betrayal…” Then Tempest zapped the ship.

POV Ends

---

Meanwhile, me and the gang landed the crate at the bottom of Mount Aris and used our dragons to fly up to the top. “Here is it. Mount Aris.” I said.

Our dragons walked into Mount Aris and saw houses that looked like bird cages. The area was dead silent. The houses were destroyed or broken and there wasn’t any sign of hippogriffs anywhere. “This place looks like a ghost town.” Celesto said.

“Yeah, wonder what happened here.” Artie questioned.

Then we all heard some humming. “Is that singing?” Lightning asked. I traced the sound to a small cave. “It’s coming from here.” I said. The gang and dragons followed me and I led them through the cave. There was a lake in the center and a large flower. A pebble dropped. Princess Skystar gasped and she leaped into the sea, but what we saw was a figure. “Hey wait! I cried and I leaped into the lake. “Sapphire!” Rainbow cried.

He and the others came into the lake with me. “Where’d she go?” Celestia asked.

Suddenly, the water started spinning around. The flower was sucked down and it was revealed to be a whirlpool. “Uh-oh.” I said.

“I hate epic adventures.” Rarity grumbled. Our dragons roared in panic and leaped into the water and grabbed us as the whirlpool sucked us down and we crashed on some rocks. “Oof! Ow! Gah! Ugh! Agh! Ow! Pain! Ouch! Oof!”

We all groaned and we got up. “Great, now where are we?” Buddy asked. Our dragons seemed to sense something being they were looking around the area. “What’s wrong with them?” Pinkie asked.

(Skip to 1:02:05)

Our dragons placed us on their backs and they flew into another cave and we came out. We saw large pillars of rocks with glowing fauna and flora. “Woah…” I gasped. Our dragons continued to fly and we entered a extremely large cavern and saw millions and millions of dragons. “Oh my god.” I whispered.

“Looks like we found the Dragon World.” Cadence said.

“More like a Hidden World.” I added.

Our dragons landed near a large section that had a large crystal coming out of the ceiling. They walked off and we moved a little closer, looking over a large cliff.

“It’s beautiful.” Celestia gasped.

“How are we gonna find the Queen of the Hippogriffs in this place?” Artie asked.

“It’s a whole new world.” Shining Armor added. We noticed there was a dragon on top of the crystal and all the dragons were bowing to him. “Whose that dragon?”

“It seems like he’s the Alpha dragon.” I answered.

“Seems like it. So what so we do now?” Fluttershy asked.

*GROWL*

We slowly turned around and saw a purple and blue Rumblehorn dragon. “Oh boy.” I whimpered. Rumblehorn roared gaining the attention of all the other dragons. “Jump!” I cried. We all jumped off the cliff and rolled down the cliff, landing on the ground. “Run!” Luna cried.

We were about to run when multiple Nightmare, Zipplebacks, Gronckles and other dragons landed in front and behind us. They were all growling, hissing and roaring at us. We all stood back to back. “I don’t think they’re happy to see us.” Twilight whimpered.

They all began to move towards us, “W-What do we do?” Ren whimpered.

Suddenly, our dragons leaped in front of us, in a protective circle, roaring at the other wild dragons. I took a deep breath and bravely walked up to one of the growling Monstrous Nightmares. “Sapphire. No! Come back!” Celesto hissed. I didn’t listen and walked towards the Nightmare. It roared at me. “Shhh… it’s alright… I’m not the enemy.” I reassured. I could feel the Alpha’s eyes, staring at me, but I didn’t falter. The Nightmare growled but I inched closer to him. I looked him dead in his eyes as a tense moment of silence passed. Finally, the Nightmare moved towards me and put it’s snout in my hand, earning his trust. The Dazzlings smiled, “That’s our teacher.”

Our dragons were still growling at the wild dragons, warning them to back away from their beloved riders. Suddenly, a loud roar broke through the air and the wild dragons parted, creating a path for the Alpha dragon. The Alpha Dragon looked like a Night Fury but it also had a second set of wings, resembling a Monstrous Nightmare. It’s tail was covered in the spines of a Deadly Nadder. It had a pair of horns similar to the Monstrous Nightmare, but were medium.

Our dragons hissed at him, but he roared at them loudly, making them step back and allowing him to walk towards Ren and the others. We all stared at him before… he spoke, “What are you humans doing here?”

“You talk?!” Everyone exclaimed.

“Yes, I can talk and I’ll ask again. What are you humans doing here?” his voice had some venom in it.

“We don’t mean you or your dragons any harm.” Celesto said. “We’re looking for the Queen of the Hippogriffs.”

The dragon's’ expression turned angrier and he spread out his wings. “Why would you want to see her?” he hissed.

“Please, the Storm King invaded our friends' land. We need their help that’s all.” Celestia said.

The Alpha snarled, “Well, we won’t let you go near her.” The dragons roared along with their Alpha. I knew then they were going to attack my friends! “NO!” I leaped in front of them and changed into a Light Fury, shocking and surprising every dragon, even the Alpha. “I won’t let you hurt my friends. Even if you are the Alpha!” I snarled with a growl for emphasis.

The Alpha said nothing, but instead he glowed and to our complete shock, turned into a human who had wings and a horn!

“He’s another hybrid?!" Celesto exclaimed.

“How’s that possible.” Lightning added.

"It can't be true
But I can see it as well as you." Rhymey added.

I changed back into a human myself and looked at the adult man. He had tannish brown hair. His skin was light and his eyes were blue. He wore a black jacket with matching shorts. He wore tall black boots as well. He looked closely at me and he moved a small part of my hair. “Hey, hands off our Princess!” Rainbow exclaimed. The Alpha didn’t pay him no mind but instead said, “Is… it really you?”

I felt a little awkward, “Should.. I know you?”

“No… but a father never forgets.” I felt my whole world stop for a moment and my heart skipped a beat. Okay! Now I’m shocked!

“FATHER?!” My friends exclaimed in utter shock with dropped jaws.

“Father.” I gasped.

The Alpha nodded. “Yes Sapphire… I am you biological father, Jake.” I didn’t have any words. The Alpha Dragon, the human/alicorn hybrid… was my father?! “Come with me.” he said to me and then looked at my friends, “All of you.” My father led us to his home that was made out of crystals. It looked kinda like a two story house. Inside, everything was made from crystals. The couches, tables, you name it. The crystals were quite comfortable. My friends and I all sat on the clinch while my dad sat on a chair across from us. I was still shocked but the recent news. “Sapphire… are you okay?” Carrie asked.

“I’m… fine.” I said slowly. I turned to my biological father. “So.. where have you been all this time?”

My biological father sighed, “When your mother gave birth to you, we were both very proud of you, blissfully happy and energetic. We sensed great and powerful magic within you. You inherited my animal abilities and your mother magical abilities as well, but when you were only weeks old, poachers and hunters came and tried to take you away. We knew they wanted to use your abilities for evil.

You mother and I knew we had to keep you safe so we gave you to two dear friends of mine. Leo and Lucy. They vowed they would protect you from all danger. Me and your mother parted our ways, afraid that if they people would find us together, they force one of us to tell you where you were taken to. I found my way to the Hidden World where I met all these dragons and they made me their Alpha.”

"So Sapphire wasn't actually created in a lab, she was born here and given to the people in the lab." Lightning realized.

“Well you could have at least told you daughter that you were here, let alone alive!” Celestia hissed.

“I know, but if anyone were to discover the Hidden World, all the dragons here would be in grave danger.” My biological father stated. My friends were still upset but I shook off my shock and went back to the main reason we came here. “Do you know where the Queen of the Hippogriffs are?” I asked.

“Yes, come with me.” He led us out of his house and through the cavern until we came to a large lake. “Not another whirlpool again.” Rarity whined.

“Do not worry.” Jake stated. “Just wade in.”

Jake entered the water and we followed along with our dragons. Jake used his magic to give us air bubble like helmets. “Follow me.” Jake dove into the water and we followed. “This way.” Jake swam ahead and we all followed. Our dragons used their wings to propel themselves through the water. Soon we reached another city. All the buildings were simply like Greek buildings, with stone columns for fences and walling, open roofs. It was surprisingly brighter down here too with all the glowing corals and underwater angler lights. There were mermares and mer-ponies everywhere.

“Woah…” We all gasped.

We entered the palace and swam into the throne room.

We saw a large sea pony. She was white with purple fins and tail fins and she had light blue fins on the ends of arms. “Queen Novo, we have some visitors.” Jake called.

“Jake, if it’s another sea dragon, I don’t want-” When she saw us, she gasped. “Jake, what have you done! You know surface dwellers are no allowed here. Guards!” Four seapony guards came in with glowing laces. My friends gasped and whimpered a little, while our dragons growled and hissed.

“Novo, it’s alright. It’s just my biological daughter and her friends.” Jake said.

“We need to find the Hippogriffs do you know what happened to them?” I asked.

“Why of course I know, I’m the Queen. I know everything.” Novo said.

“Oh, it’s such a good story.” Princess Skystar said as she suddenly appeared.

“Don’t you dare tell them!” Novo said.

But the seapony told them anyway. “Once upon a time, like, a while ago, the Hippogriffs did live on Mount Aris.”

Novo was not pleased, “Did I not say don't tell them? But hey, I'm just the queen. Don't mind me.”
“Fine! I can't tell you!” Skystar grunted, “But if I could tell you, I'd say that that horned beast did show up to steal their magic!”

“Seriously?” Novo groaned.

“But, to keep it out of his clutches, their brave and majestic leader, Queen Novo, hid them deep underwater where he could never go! We are... Well, we were the Hippogriffs! Ta-da! “Skystar laughed and came over to us and whispered, “But I totally did not tell you that!”

“She’s almost like Pinkie Pie.” Sonata whispered.

“Well, I guess the pearl is out the oyster now. I am Queen Novo.”

“Hold on now. Lemme get this straight. When the Storm King came, you just abandoned your entire city and fled?” Applejack asked.

“We didn't flee! We swam! Y'know, in order to flee.” Same thing! “But... how?” Twilight asked.

“Oh! Can we show them? Huh? These are the first guests we've had in, like, foreveeerrr! Can we, can we, can we, can we, can we, can we, can we, can we, can we?” Skystar asked.

“Well I should make sure it still works.” Novo said. They swam pas a jellyfish that released a small glowing pearl. Skystar grinned. “Careful now.” Novo said. Novo spread the pearls magic towards us and it turned out legs into tails with fins on the end. “Woah!” Twilight exclaimed.

“Awesome!” Rainbow said.

"Well... this is different." Celesto said, looking at his tail.

“These fins are divine!” Rarity squealed.

“Hey Applejack, I’ll race you to that coral!” Rainbow said to Applejack, "You're one!" and they both raced. Pinkie was giggling, "Try it Fluttershy."

Fluttershy gigged, "Yeah"

“Come on Jamie, try it!” Kaede said.

“Hehe, yeah.” Jamie said shyly.

“Oh, my gosh! Best... idea! You can stay with us! Forever!.” Skystar laughed. “There are so many things we can do! We can make friendship bracelets out of shells and... picture frames outta shells and... decorative wastebaskets out of shells... Oh, I have so many projects that involve shells, haha! Now I have someone new to share them with! I mean, aside from my friends, Shelly and Sheldon. Right? Shelly?”

My friends just stared at her awkwardly. “That sounds lovely, Skystar, but you must realize, we can't stay.” Luna said.

“We have to get back to our friends.” Cadence added.

Skystar suddenly turned sad, “Oh, no. Of course. Of course. Heh. Of course you have your own friends back home. It's fine. It's fine. Heh. Shelly and Sheldon get jealous anyways. Heh. It's probably for the best.”She sighed. “Yeah, I'll just, um...I'll get Mom to, uh, turn you back so you can go home.” she swam away, leaving me feeling bad. “I know we have to go, but you guys saw how disappointed Princess Skystar was. Couldn't we stay for just a little longer?”

“Sarah we just don’t have time. That creep could be in Equestria by now.” Rainbow said.

“But we may be able to get an ally. Please guys.” I begged.

My friends looked at each other. “Well… I guess we could stay for a little longer.” Twilight said hesitantly.

"Why?" Pinkie asked.

"Maybe we could get an ally out of Queen Novo and Seaquestria." I explained. I went over to Skystar and music began to play and the song began.

Queen Novo laughed and Skystar smiled. “Oooh.” My friends came around me and they laughed as well. “Yeah!”

“Well I guess there is one small thing we can do.” Novo said.

“Ahhh.” I gasped.

“Alright little humans, we’ll help you in your fight against the Storm King.” Novo declared.

“Really?!” Lightning cried in joy.

“Yes. This little hybrid has got on my good side. So I should return the favor.” Novo said.

My friends all cheered happily as our dragons roared in victory. “I’ll return them to the surface, Novo.” Jake offered.

“Alright Jake. I’ll be waiting.” Novo said. Jake led us back the way we came and we resurface at the lake and we walked onto the stairs. We all mounted our dragons while Jake spread his wings and we flew out of the Hidden world at landed at the bottom of Mount Aris.

“I see Leo and Lucy raised you very well.” Jake commented.

"Uh.. well... Lucy raised me well. Leo, on the other hand, uh..." I scuffled my shoes on the ground.

"Treat her like dirt." Rainbow finished. Jake gave me a surprised look, "More on that later."

My biological dad turned to me with a sad smile. “I’m sorry I haven’t been there for you for all these years, but I hope we can still be friends?” Jake asked.

“Of course.” Jake smiled and we actually hugged each other. We parted each other and suddenly a cage came over me. “Sapphire!” Celesto cried. I was suddenly lifted and I saw Tempests’ airship! “Guys!” I cried.

“Sapphire!” My friends cried before the opening closed, leaving me in the dark.

I rammed and kicked the bars but they were really thick. And here comes the hornless unicorn herself. “Ooohh, the Princess of Friendship, with no friends and now you have no way out.”

“Why are you doing this? You’re a pony, just like Twilight and her friends.” I stated.

Tempest lit her horn and pressed it against the cage. I gasped in fear. “I’m nothing like them. I’m more than they’ll ever be.” Ominous music started playing. Here comes the villains song.

Oh...my...god. Poor Tempest. Losing her horn and gaining the scar cause of an Ursa and being abandoned by her friends. “I’m so sorry you felt so alone.” I said. “I saw the truth. My ‘friends’ abandoned me when times got tough. Looks like I’m not the only one.” Tempest said. Tempest scoffed. “Face it Princess, friendship has failed you too.”

“Friendship didn’t fail me. I still have my friendship and you can have it too. You still have a chance at friendship.” Tempest growled and charged up her horn. “Enough with your lies, human!” she bellowed. “I don’t need a friend after what friendship did to me.” she hissed before walking away from my cage. Now I only hoped Lightning and the others would get here soon.

Lightning's POV

Not good. Not good. Not good! Tempest just captured Sapphire and was taking her back to Equestria. “We have to get her back!” Rainbow exclaimed. “How we have no way to defeat that army of monsters. Even with our dragons, it may not be enough.” Buddy added. Fluttershy whimpered.

“Well, good thing I happen to know of a group of mighty heroes that could handle this easily!” a familiar voice said and we turned around to see Capper.

“Well! Look what the cat dragged in! Himself!” Rarity groaned.

“These heroes have faced the Storm King's army and escaped! I've seen them tackle the streets of the roughest towns, break out of the tightest situations, and inspire others to join their cause!

They even escaped certain doom at the hooves of Commander Tempest!” Capper added proudly.

“Yeah. That was pretty great.” Rainbow said.

“Are you kidding?” another voice came as we saw Captain Celaeno and her crew. “That was awesome!” she exclaimed. Squabble squawked. “Figured you could use a claw!” Boyle said.

“ We're on board to help you fight the Storm King! Just not on board our... actual ship.” Caleano said.

“That crazy unicorn sunk it. But you got back our argh! And we're ready to kick some booty.” Boyle added. He and the other pirates laughed. The water behind them started to bubble and out came Skystar and Novo in their hippogriff forms.

Skystar had light blue feather and her body was yellow. Her front claws and back hooves were light brown.

Novo had purple feather with two blue strands and her body was white while her front claws and hooves with light tan. She wore a light blue necklace around her neck.

”Is that what I think it is?” Capper asked in shock. Following Novo and Skystar was about two hundred dragons. Nightmares, Zipplebacks, Gronckles, you name it.

Skystar and Novo landed, “Hello. Us again.” Skystar said. “We wanna help too.” Skystar came over to the group. “Cause you know one small thing can make a really big difference.”

“Alright ya’ll. I think our course is clear. Ya’ll ready to do think thing?” Capper called.

“We’re coming Sapphire.” Pinkie said. Everyone else cheered as they all mounted the dragons and flew towards Equestria.

Back in New Canterlot, I was rolled through in my cage, being pulled by two ponies. I saw buildings destroyed and almost all the ponies in cages. Those who weren’t were forced to march, shackled and wearing muzzles. It horrified me to see this. I was rolled into the palace and my cage was set down in the empty corner of the flower marking on the ground. Grubber closed the door as the shackled ponies left. “Tempest, don’t do this. Don’t give the Storm King-”

“Your magic? Did you think you'd keep it all to yourself? Time to share. I'd love for everybody out there to know what I can really do.” she said.

That’s when the Storm King came in.

[img] https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/7/73/The_Storm_King_ID_MLPTM.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/250?cb=20171017010720[/img]

“Ooh, fascinating! What can you really do?” he asked. Tempest and Grubber bowed to him. “ Your bidding, of courth, Your Mighty One.” Grubber quickly got up and ran out of the throne room.

He walked over to my cage, “Bidding's good. I like bidding! Um, what are you supposed to be?”

“I’m the Princess of Friendship.” I replied.

“Oh. That's nice.” he went over to Tempest, “Why is this one still moving?”

Tempest replied with, “ She and her friends put up a bit of a fight, but she's alone now. She won't be a problem.”

“Yeah. So, speaking of problems, this place, it seems a little too—oh, I don't know—cute!!! I don't like cute! I never did like cute! Doesn't really go with my whole "big bad powerful magic guy" thing, does it?! Deliver the punchline, Tempest, because this has gotta be a joke!” The Storm King placed the staff into the center of the flower marking and the magic from Equestria, Equestria Princesses,, Twilight, her friends was drained. The Space Alicorns were unaffected by the drain for some reason. Anyway, the magic drained happened to me and my element, “NO!”

The Storm King laughed, “Check out the light show.”

When it was done, the Storm King yanked the staff out. “Wow, wow.” My legs felt very weak and I collapsed in my cage. “Let's get this storm started! Ooh, hey, that's good. I should trademark that.” He turned to my cage and he blasted me, sending me onto the balcony and breaking my cage. “Ugh!”

The Storm King came out, “Not bad. Actually, kinda first rate. What else does it do?”

Tempest came up, “ Your Excellency, you promised to restore my horn and give me—”

“Deh-deh-deh-deh-deh, okay. Hang on.” He moved his staff and he was amazed when he saw the sun and moon moving, “ You gotta be kiddin' me! I can move the sun?! A ha ha! Wow! Now this is what I'm talkin' about! Ha ha! Time to play! Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday! Day, night! Day, night! Day night! Day night! Day night! Sunrise, sunset!” I could only watch in horror, “Guys, where are you?”

Lighting's POV

Me and my friends were camouflaged against some Changewing dragons as we snuck into Canterlot. “Oh man, look at this place?” I whispered.

“This is horrible.” Fluttershy said. “Hope Sapphire's alright.”

“Let’s keep moving.” Celestia said. The Changewing moved towards the middle of the capital. “Now guys?” I asked.

“Now.” Rainbow said and the changewings revealed themselves and spit acid at the Storm Creatures, who yelped in pain and ran away. Caleano and her crew came and started fighting the Storm Creatures. The other dragons flew in and rammed, bashed and fire at them as well.

“Head for the castle, we’ll hold them off.” Caleano said. We dismounted the changewings, “Come on!” Mason cried as we rushed for the castle. Capper and us made it to the entrance when we were met by the wall of Storm Creatures. “Uh-oh.” I said.

Just then, Midnight came in and blasted them with his plasma blast along with Winter and our other dragons. “That’s the way!” Lightning cried. Suddenly, thunder cracked through the sky and high winds. “Move those legs, humans and dragons!” Capper cried as we ran for cover.

The Storm Creatures were lifted into the air! We took cover behind a sturdy building. “Great now what?” Applejack groaned. “We have to break through it. That’s the only way we’ll get to Sapphire.” Starla said.

"We have to flying faster than Midnight to break through that wind.” Celesto said.

Pinkie Pie gasped in realization, "Excellent Idea sir." she said, putting on a helmet."

“Why do I regret asking, now?” Celesto said nervously.

POV Ends

Minutes Earlier

I saw my friends and their dragons on the castle grounds. “What? How?” Tempest growled.

“It’s the magic of-” The Storm King interrupted. “Yeah, yeah! Friendship, and flowers, and ponies, and bleh! I'm so totally over the cute pony thing. This... ends... now!” He raised his staff and a large tornado came in and surrounded the palace. Me and Tempest gazed in horror.

“Now I truly am the Storm King! And the entire world will bow to my ba-ba-ba-boom, baby!” he declared. Tempest went over to him, “ Yes, yes, you are every bit as powerful as I promised, Sire, now, restore my horn and I swear to use my magic to serve you!” The Storm King laughed and pushed Tempest aside, “Who cares about your dinky little unicorn horn?!”

Tempest was shocked, “: But... we... we had an agreement!”

“Get with the program! I used you! It's kind of what I do!” The Storm King fired his staff at Tempest and she retaliated with her electricity, pushing them both back. The Storm King against the wall and Tempest was hanging on with one hoof on the rim of the balcony. I gasped.

Tempest struggled to hang on but lost her grip, but I grabbed her, “Hold on!” I called.

Tempest looked at me, shocked, “Why are you saving me?”

“Because this is what friends do.” I replied with a smile. Tempest looked at my hand and she smiled at me. I pulled her onto the ground. The Storm King suddenly appeared in front of us, pointing his staff at us. “Awwww! Isn't that just so sweet!” he laughs , “Yeah. See ya!” I gulped nervously.

Lightning's POV

“You sure about this?” Mullet called.

“Just do it!” Pinkie cried. “Thank you!” We were all tightly packed inside the giant party cannon Pinkie and her pony counterpart made.

We heard Squabble sqwquaked and we were launched out of the cannon, screaming the whole way until we crashed into the Storm King and rolled across the floor. “Never do that again!” Shining Armor yelled.

“Awesome!” I cried.

“Guys!” We turned and saw Sapphire coming towards us. “Sapphire, you’re alright.” We all hugged her happy she was alright. “The Storm King took the magic of Equestria into his staff.” she said.

“You mean the one that’s going out of control, now.” Artie deadpanned, pointing at the broken staff that was sparking magic. We all gasped in horror as the staff blasted the ceiling causing it to complete break, exposing us to the storm. “I have to get control of it!” Sapphire called.

“Go, you got this Sarah!” Pinkie said..

“No… we got this… together.” We all stood together, ready to get the staff. Applejack lassoed a large rock and Sarah spread her wings. We all formed a long chain with Sapphire at the front to help her get to the staff. She flapped her wings and we were lifted into the air, trying to get the staff.

“The staff belongs to me.” The Storm King hissed, climbing the rubble to grab the staff first. Sapphire reached for the staff with all her might. “Mine! Mine!” The Storm King leaped for the staff just as Applejack walked out a little, extending our reach. “NO!” Sapphire cried. She grabbed the staff, the Storm King crashed into the window, exposing us to the Storm and Sapphire was pulled out of my grasp and into the storm! “Sapphire! NOOOOOOO!” I cried.

Everything went quiet as the storm calmed, revealing sunlight and we slowly descended to the ground. We all looked at the sky, trying to find any sign of Sapphire. “Look!” Pinkie said. There, descending to the balcony with the staff in her hands was Sapphire, looking a little frazzled.

We all cheered happily to see her safe and sound.

“Eeeh, group hug.” Pinkie said. We all hugged Sapphire in a one big group hug, relieved she was alright. Just then, we saw and heard Tempest running towards us with her horn charging up. Applejack and Rainbow got in front to protect us, suddenly she jumped over us, yelling, “NO!” and she was hit with an obsidian orb that nearly hit us!

The Storm King and Tempest were caught in the smoke and the Storm King statue fell off the balcony while we acting quickly and used the staff to catch Tempests’ statue. We placed it on the ground, “Woah… I can’t believe she did that.” Rainbow said. I was shocked too but Sapphire said, “I can.”

“You showed her the Magic of Friendship, didn’t you?” Adaigo smirked.

“Yes.” We used the staff to turned her back to her normal self. She gasped and looked at us and she smiled. “Now what?” Fluttershy asked. We all looked at each other and Sarah looked at Tempest. “Now…. we fix everything.” She and Tempest walked into the throne room and Sarah place the crystal of the staff into the small hole, releasing all the magic back into United Equestria. Everyone was restored and Queen Celestia and Lightning saw Me and Sunset "Sunset." "Sapphire." they said.

"Celestia. Commander." We all hugged each other while the staff continued to restore United Equestria.

That night, Spike was on stage with glass on. “Fillies and gentlecolts, get ready for a little...Songbird Serenade!” Everybody cheered loudly for the singer. Our new friends stayed for the event. “And now to celebrate the fact that we’re all still here in one piece. Give it up for Princess Sapphire and her friends!” The spotlight shined on us and the ponies cheered for us.

“Alright!”

“Way’d a go guys!”

“Yeah!”

The royal ones came and bowed and Sapphire bowed back. The lights went out and Songbird Serenade perform her song.

The ponies cheered and Rainbow fist-pumped Celeano while Rarity made Capper a black cape and top hat. “Ooooh.” Capper said.

“And perfection~.” Rarity sang.

Pinkie and Skystar were laughing with each other.

Songrbird Serenade looked at me for a moment and she flew off and I turned around and saw Tempest all alone. I flew over to her and landed a few feet from her. “That’s one thing that never changes around her; a party.”

“Well, I hope you’ll stay. More friends are definitely merrier.” I proposed.

“But um… my horn.” she said.

“You know.” I said. Tempest turned to me, “You’re horn is pretty powerful. Just like the pony it belongs to.”

“I did tell you that I wanted to show everypony in Equestria what I could do right?” She walked a few feet and shot electricity into the air making fireworks. We both looked at each other and smiled. Pinkie came up with the others. “Nice touch Tempest.”

“Actually that’s not my real name.” Tempest revealed.

“Not your real name?” Celestia asked.

“Oooh, what is it?” Pinkie asked. Tempest whispered into here ear. “It’s Fizzlepop Berrytwist.” Pinkie gave a huge gasp, “Alright that is the best name EVER!” Tempest looked at her weird, while the rest of us rolled our eyes. Typical Pinkie.

Now it was time for all the dragons of the Hidden World, Jake, Novo, Skystar, Capper, Celeano and her crew to return to their home. “We’ll be back soon. Just call us whenever you need us.” Jake said.

And the fireworks turned into their faces. “Woah!” we all gasped. When they were gone, we all turned to the their majesties. “Well then, how about you tell us all about your adventure outside Equestria.”

“We’d be happy to.” I said.
