Three hours later...

“Are we almost there yet?” Max asked.

“We’re over the Sea of Clouds.” The Sentinel stated. We looked below and saw a large forest below and in the distance was a large mountain. “What’s that up ahead?” I asked.

“That is Mount Aris. Where the hippogriffs used to live.” The Sentinel stated.

“Used to? What do you mean?” Rex asked.

“You shall see.” The Sentinel stated. We all landed at the top and got off of the ship. "Thanks Celeano and others." I said.

"No problem." Celeano said as she and her crew boarded their ship again. "Call on us when you need some help." she said.

"Right." We saw them fly off as we entered the kingdom of the hippogriffs.

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.” I said.

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

“Well someone is in need of a designer.” Ursula stated.

“That’s for sure.” Zander added.

Then we all heard some humming. “Is that singing?” Ed 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. “Crystal!” Fire cried.

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

“I love epic adventures!” Fire exclaimed in joy which was odd. 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!”

We all groaned and we got up. “Now where are we?” Fire Blossom asked. Our dragons seemed to sense something being they were looking around the area. “What’s wrong with them?” Zoe asked.

I mounted Winter and Pikachu hopped onto my shoulder. The other dragons picked up the D-Team and the Alpha Gang and placed them on their backs. They all then flew into another cave and when 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 an extremely large cavern and saw millions and millions of dragons. “Oh my god.” I whispered.

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

“More like a Hidden World.” the Sentinel added. “This is the ancestral home of all the dragons known to human kind. Very, very few people known about this realm.”

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.” Fire added her eyes sparkling in the beauty

“How are we gonna find the Queen of the Hippogriffs in this place?” I asked. “It’s a whole new world.” We noticed there was a dragon on top of the crystal and all the dragons were bowing to him. “Who's that dragon?” Pikachu asked.

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

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

*GROWL*

We all froze when we heard a 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!” Fire 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.” Pikachu whimpered.

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

Suddenly, my 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. “Crystal. No! Come back!” Max hissed. “It’s dangerous!” 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. “Woah.. incredible.” Pikachu gasped.

The Sentinel smiled. “That’s my student.”

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?!” I 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.” Max 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 land. We need their help that’s all.” I 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 Night 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?!” Pikachu exclaimed. “That’s a twist that’s very twisty.”

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, like Jack but he wore matching shorts. He wore tall black boots as well. He looked closely at me and he moved a small part of my hair. 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 Crystal. 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. “Crystal, are you okay?” Zoe asked.

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

My biological father sighed, “When the hunters came into our village, after we sent you and Winter away, we both fought against the hunters but we were both severely injured. When we woke up we found that we were both here and under Queen Novo’s care. She introduced us to the Hidden World and we met all of these dragons and they made me their Alpha.”

"But how in the world did you become a hybrid?" Ed asked.

"The dragons bestowed upon me their powers and abilities, making me like this." My father explained.

“Well you could have at least told me that you were here, let alone alive!” I hissed in anger.

My dad sighed sadly, “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.” Jamie 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 not allowed here. Guards!” Four seapony guards came in with glowing laces. Fire and Pikachu 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!”

“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?” I asked.

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

“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..” Fire gasped.

“This is amazing. With the pearl maybe you can change everyone back home into something to defeat the Storm Kings’ army.” Fire squealed.

“Or it could end up in his greedy claws.” Novo stated.

“But your majesty, don’t you wanna help us? I mean we came all this way to seek your help against the Storm King.” I explained.

“Sweetheart… I’m sorry about your home. I really am, but my duties as Queen is to protect my subjects. The pearl isn’t going anywhere.” Novo said before sitting back in her throne.

“But you’d rather spend your whole life down here instead of trying to take back what was yours?” I asked.

“We are 100% okay with that.” Novo said. I looked at her very sadly and swam away from her. “Crystal?” Max called. I just kept swimming and swimming until I was out of the large lake and walking back up the stairs. I spread my wings and flew out of the Hidden World and landed on the Basalt Beach.

I only sighed sadly. “Crystal… are you okay?” Fire asked gently.

“No… I’m not.. There’s no chance to save Equestria now.. And it’s all my fault.” I began to sob.

“It’s not your fault, kid.” Pikachu said. “You did your best.”

I sniffled, “Well.. my best wasn’t good enough..” I stood up and walked away from the group so I could think on my own.

“Crystal.” I hear a call behind me and saw a large male lion with a red mane and he had a deep voice. “Woah.. who are you?”

“I am Mufasa, young Crystal. I have been watching you for some time now and I sense great doubt in your heart.”

I sighed, “It’s just I came here to get help to fight the Storm King and save my friends and family but Queen Novo wouldn’t help. Now I… don’t know what to do.”

“Don’t be afraid Sarah, trust your instincts. Your magic and your friends will be there for you when you need them and so will I until Equestria’s end.” With that Mufasa disappeared from the clouds. “Mufasa, wait don;t go yet!

.. Trust my instincts. My friends and magic will be there when I need it.” I said.

With my confidence restored, I went back to the gang. “Crystal, are you alright?” I asked.

“Yes and we’re going back to face the Storm King.” I stated proudly.

“By ourselves?!” Fire exclaimed. “But how can we defeat the Storm King?”

“We can do anything as long as we’re together.” I stated to them all. Everyone looked at each other and nodded confidently. “We’re Equestira’s last hope and here’s what we’re going to do.” I said. Everyone gathered around while I explained the plan.
