(Capper's little manor)
Back to Capper's place, Tawny told Spike about the history about dragons as becoming great friends and Spike secretly tells him about having a crush on Rarity, but he doesn't want charming Capper to impress her.
"Oh, I see what you mean, Spike. But Capper had secretly harbored his love with Katherine from the salon." Tawny said as Spike laughs sarcastically.
"Did he often met her?" Spike whispered awkwardly as Tawny nodded in response.
"Of course. I showed you some magazines from Capper's chest." Tawny said as he and Spike getting magazines from the chest.
Tawny opened a chest as he and Spike see torn magazines but visibly.
Tawny took one of the magazines and showed Spike that Katherine was shown on a picture that she's wearing a fashionable dancer dress.
"Wow, she's looked nice and no one wonders some cat like Capper was in love with her." Spike said.
"You and Capper got a lot in common with girls and pretty much of you." Tawny said as he felt something as he looked up his flat cap that magically floated.
Tawny saw Rarity uses her magic to levitate a needle and thread to fix his flat cap.
"There you go, Tawny." Rarity said as she gave levitated back to Tawny's paws.
"Oh, thank you, Miss Rarity and I glad you're useful to me." Tawny said as he puts his flat cap on his head.
"I do something fabulous same with Capper." Rarity said.
"But tried not to thank her, Tawny." Capper warned politely as Tawny nodded his head understandable.
"Hey, guys!" Utopia said as he levitated a map over to the table with Twilight, which Mane Five, Spike, Capper, and Tawny quickly looked at it.
"We've been looking for the wrong queen." Twilight said.
"She's right, so we don't need to find the queen of the hippos. We only need the Queen of the Hippogriffs! Part pony and part eagle! And that's what Princess Celestia mentioned about it." Utopia said as Tawny looked in amazed.
"Oh! Oh, the Hippogriffs!" Capper said in a weird tone.
"Now, the trouble with that is… no one knows… where they are…"
"It says here they're on the top of Mount Aris!" Twilight said reprovingly.
"You mean the mountain right outside the window?" Pinkie asked.
The others looked and saw a large mountain in the distance.
"Objects in windows may be less mountainous than they appear." Capper said as he gave a nervous chuckle.
"Well, I met one of them." Tawny said as Twilight, Utopia and the others gasped including Capper with a 'really?' expression.
"You do?!" Applejack shocked.
"You see, some while ago before I lived with Capper. I saw a hippogriff who's been caught by bandits and his name was Aero Wingsman." Tawny said as Capper put his paws on his chin.
"Hm. What else do you know about him, little bro?" He asked.
"He said he was a royal commander of the Hippogriff Guards and sadly for him." Tawny said miserably.
"What happened?" Utopia asked.
"He's selling to Storm Guards and take him away." Tawny said as Twilight, Utopia, and others gasped especially Capper felt so bad about when he tried to sell them.
"Where is he?" Twilight asked. Tawny answered him, but Utopia interrupted.
"No time to answer, Twilight. Let's go, every pony." Utopia said as Twilight nodded in agreement and they are leaving.
Capper gasped at this.
"Wait!" Capper yelled and yowled like the cat he was, quickly blocking in front of the door. "You can't— You can't make it by y'allselves. You need an airship! And lucky for you, I can get you a ride."
"I think we can get there on our own." Twilight said.
But as she opened a door with her magic, she, Utopia and others saw a small rat mole creature in glasses and suit.
"Here's Verko!" He said and laughed.
Twilight quickly slipped back, and Utopia defends her from the smug naked mole.
"These ponies' better shoot rainbow lasers out their eyes if they're gonna settle your debt! Brought the big cage. Let's load 'em up!" Verko said as Mane Six and Tawny gasped.
"You were… were going to sell us?!" Rarity asked.
"How could you, Capper?!" Tawny glared at Capper. "You lied to me."
Capper tried to say something with guilty expression but innocent.
"I knew it!" Twilight snapped.
"Come on, guys, we're out of here!" Utopia added as they heard sinister chuckled and saw Tempest.
"Silly little ponies." Tempest smirked.
"Tempest!" Twilight yelled in fear.
Spike screams and Fluttershy hide in the lampshade.
Malleo came out of the trapdoor along with members one by one and blocked behind the windows.
"You're not escaping from us." Malleo said.
Tempest is still continuing her evil chuckles.
"Trusting strangers? Big mistake. Big—"
"Huge!" Grubber added as Angelus giggled at Grubber's comment and Malleo sighed.
"Hoo-hoo! My goodness!" Verko said as he is looking over Tempest and put his hands on her face. "Well, look at you! With your scary broken horn and scowly eyes. What tricks do you know, my little pony-wony?"
"I wish I shouldn't done that." Utopia murmured.
Tempest getting annoyed with him as she zapped him with electrifying magic from her broken horn.
Verko weakly coughed. "Not bad…"
The naked mole crime boss passed out.
Tempest, Malleo and his minions have surrounded Twilight, Utopia, and others.
"Oh no, look like we are trapped." Rainbow Dash said.
"Utopia, do you have any ideas to get us out of here?" Twilight asked.
"Sorry, Twilight. I'm out of luck." Utopia said.
Then suddenly, Greyback, Strife, and Katherine crashing down through the roof making pieces fall out and they landed on a floor.
Utopia, Twilight and others were surprised to see them, even Capper and Tawny saw Katherine who stands next to allies.
Malleo growled at them.
"You guys are in our way! You're going to regret this!" Malleo said as he bashed with his mace at Greyback but he blocked his sword against it in horizontal position and he looked back to Utopia and others.
"Utopia, get Twilight and her friends out. We will deal with them!" Greyback said.
"Go! Go!" Utopia said as he, Twilight, Mane Five and Spike escaped through the window and they jumped onto the windmill's blades while Greyback and his companions take care of Tempest and Storm-Quads.
"Get… Her… Now!" Tempest yelled as one of the storm creatures going after them and she is helping Malleo and his team to fight heroic warriors.
"Guralph, help the Storm Creature to get the last princess!" Malleo ordered as he blocked his mace against Greyback's sword.
Guralph nodded at him and he's joined up with storm foot soldier.
"You oughta be scared now, ponies!" Grubber yelled.
Twilight and Rainbow touched their forehooves on the windmill's blade and pushed, but a storm creature another blade while Guralph grabbed other end windmill blade and they held it back.
Utopia then saw the support beam and smirked.
"Girls, I have an idea. But you all need to hold on tight." Utopia said.
"Then don't do it to me!" Rarity said.
"You girls wanna make it out alive or not?" Utopia asked as he slid down to the windmill's support beam.
He summoned his Mysticus Horn Blade from his horn as he slashed through the support as it blades hits Guralph and storm creature in the process.
Then the windmill fan rolling down the street.
Greyback was slide across the ground as he got hit and skidded to stop and slashed at Malleo with his sword.
Strife deals against Angelus as he blasted with telekinesis power from his helmet, but she dodged quickly. Katherine fights Talpa with wielding a pipe to bash him but he dodged her.
Talpa chuckled as he switched into a camouflaged mode.
"Huh? Where's he'd go?" Katherine asked as she got hit by invisible Talpa and she tried to sense where he is. Katherine is unaware of Talpa's invisible when Talpa grabbed a chair and smashed it on her as Katherine lost her consciousness.
"Katherine!" Greyback shouted in alarm as he gotten kicked by Tempest in mid-air and send flying at Strife's back as they crashed into each other.
Greyback and Strife get up as they saw Katherine is held captive along with Capper and Tawny by Malleo and others.
Malleo laughed evilly.
"You two thought try to stop me with this kitty lady from the salon?" He asked as Greyback growled as he tried to save her, but Strife stops her.
"No, we are going to get caught!" Strife said.
"Right." Greyback said as he throws his smoke bomb and exploded into smokey around the room.
Malleo and others are choking as the smoke fades and they saw Greyback and Strife's gone.
"Grrr. I hate it when they do that." Guralph said.
"They got away again, sir." Angelus said.
"At least we have three captives." Talpa said as he glanced at three felines as Tawny gulped.
Utopia, Twilight, Mane Five and Spike are still on rolling windmill.
"I'm… gonna… be… sick!" Applejack yelled as the windmill blades made an impact on several points in the street.
"Don't hurl it off from your muzzle until… our next stop!" Utopia shouted as he saw a set of scaffolding in the distance.
They quickly jumped off the windmill and ran along the scaffolding as the windmill blades smashing it to kindling just behind them. Utopia and others are jumping off to the next building and ran through the hallway and Twilight saw a large airship starting to set sail at the docks above.
"We have to get there! To the docks! Hurry!" Twilight yelled.
Rainbow quickly grab a hold of its mooring rope, pulling it hard enough for the others to carefully walk across.
"Alright, everypony. Don't look down now!" Applejack said as Pinkie jumped on the rope, but the rope fell off and falling to the debris of sharp edged rocks.
"Oh no!" Utopia cried. "Pinkie!" Twilight yelled as she flew down to save her.
"Aaaaaaaggghhh!" Pinkie cried as Twilight caught her and flying back up towards the airship. Once they had reached the entrance to the ship's dock and two friends landed on ship's deck safely.
Utopia quickly runs towards them.
"Are you two alright?" Utopia asked.
Before Twilight answered, Pinkie exclaimed. "Best… Escape… Plan… Ever!"
"WHAT?!" Twilight cried.
"You planned on that?!" Utopia shouted as the wallop rope flew around them and pulled them to the others who hiding with a stack of boxes.
"Shh!" Spike shushed.
Utopia, Twilight, and others looked up and saw two shadowy bird life forms.
"Did you hear somethin'?" One of them asked.
The other just squawked like a parrot.
"Eh, probably just the rats. If we find 'em, we'll eat 'em." Then they left.
"Rats?" Rarity asked worriedly.
"But there's no rats around here." Utopia whispered at her.
(Kludgetown's docks)
Guralph and Talpa pushed Capper and Katherine down on the ground and Guralph holds little kitten in his arms.
"Let go of me!" Tawny said as Guralph covered his mouth while he is mumbling.
"Not until these two are answered to us." He referred to Capper and Katherine.
"Now… where are they going?" Tempest scowled as her horn sparkling along with frowning Grubber.
"Answered her question or your little brother is squished." Malleo threatened to him.
Capper immediately stood up straight, holding up his arms in defense.
"Okay. No need for violence. Uh, they're headed…" Before he answered, a gold button sparkles caught his attention as he looked down to see his buttons. Remembering that Rarity had generously given him and before he almost sold them to Verko. Then he decided to be pretended.
"They headed east! Yeah, to… To Black Skull Island."
Tempest, Malleo, Angelus, and Grubber looked at each other in suspicious looks.
Guralph attempted to petting on Tawny's head but Tawny bits Guralph's arm and wailed in pain as he lets the kitten go off his arm.
Tawny walked towards to Malleo and others and put his arms crossed.
"Yeah, what Capper said? You can let us go!" Tawny yelled as Katherine stands up firmly.
"But you never find them in the Far East." Katherine added as Capper purred lovingly, but Tawny elbowed him with serious look and cleared his throat.
"Oh, Kathy's right. Now if you excuse us for glad we could be of service to His Majesty, the Storm King. We'll just be our own way right now." Capper said as he, Tawny and agreeable Katherine left but two Storm Creatures blocked their ways and make them yowled in fear.
Three felines turned back at them in concern.
"When I get my princess. Until then, your fates are still…up in the air." Tempest sneered.
"If any of you struggled, my members and I punished you by throwing overboard to death! Understood?" Malleo demanded.
"Mm-hm" Three felines nodded.
"Oh, you're gonna go in the skiff! Which is a boat! Specifically, an air-boat!" Grubber said and laughed.
"Don't you mean airship if you preferred it correctly?" Talpa asked.
"Whatever." Grubber mocked as Storm Creatures and Guralph shoved Capper, Tawny, and Katherine as they forced aboard onto airship.
After Grubber commenting something, Angelus blushed and giggled.
"Don't drag away with this, Grub-Googly." Angelus said as she put her hand on her chest affectionately and walked past him.
As the three felines were aboard on an airship, Capper had smug on his face at Katherine.
"Hey, Katherine what is surprised?" Capper asked as Katherine crossed her arms and looked away from him with apathetic looks, not saying some words but looking at Tawny who sitting down with hugging his arms over his legs and felt sad.
"Hey, don't worry kid. We've tried to think to escape from them." Katherine said as she rubbed little kitten's head making him comfortable. Katherine leaves Tawny as Capper sit down next to him.
"Look, we have no idea those other guys except I seen that smoky cloud guy before." Capper said as Tawny looked at him.
"Who?" Tawny asked.
"I think his name is Strife and rumored that he betrayed the Storm King for being used for destroying our home." Capper said.
"Is he turned to good when he helped that wolf and Miss Katherine?" Tawny asked as Capper nodded theoretically.
As the Storm Guards' airship left from the docks, Greyback and Strife tried to catch it up, but it already flies out. Greyback groaned, failed to save Katherine, Capper and Tawny.
"We're too late. How did we get in the air to follow it?" Greyback asked.
"Plus, we must save those felines." Strife said as their Custos of Armis are glowing.
"Oh, another wielder around here in this dock." Strife said as he surprised gaze at something or someone.
"What the matter with you?" Greyback asked.
Strife didn't answer him as he pointed to and Greyback saw where Strife pointing at the hooded figure who standing on the dock platform with an airship and talking to airship's chipmunk owner.
"Did you think he's a wielder of Element of Justice?" Greyback asked.
"I guess we have to find out. Let's move out!" Strife said as he and Greyback hurried to the other docks where the hooded figure was. As they arrived to see a hooded figure in the docks, the figure already gives some gems to the seller.
"Ooh, gems. Thank you and have a nice day." Airship's Chipmunk owner said as he walked past Greyback and Strife.
They walked towards to hooded figure as he gazed at them.
"My name's Greyback and this is Strife. We were here to find you and help us." Greyback said.
The hooded figure asked in trustworthy.
"Are you the ones they called Justice Defenders?" Greyback and Strife looked surprised.
"How do you know who we are?" Strife asked.
He removed his hood reveals his face to them when he removed his mask on top of his head
Halcon once was a former captain of his pirate crew and became Lone Falcon Ranger. He is a falcon, his eye color was lime, his hair feather was black, the tail feather was dark brown, feathery body with black spots and white undersides with brown barring, bare scarlet red ring circles around his eyes and hair-like feathers high fade. His clothing was sleeveless bowman tunic hooded cape, leather armband gloves, leather neck scarf, black eye-mask in bird view and talon leather bracer. His weapons were dagger on his small scabbard and Bow of Enchanted Raptor that holds inside bow quiver around on his back. He has a small scar mark on his beak that bashed by Malleo.
"I am Halcon, the Lone Falcon Archer and representing one Element of Justice called Honour." Halcon said as he unsheathes his bow to show them as it glowed in green.
"So, which mean you already had the Bow of Enchanted Raptor?" Strife asked.
"Yes, amigos. I will have accompanied you to stop Storm King and his army from taking over the world." Halcon said in Spanish tone.
"Then we're going rescuing captives, and do you know how to fly this airship?" Greyback asked as Halcon chuckled in admiration.
"Of course, I did." He said.
"Whoa, really?" Strife asked.
"I used to be a former captain of my pirate crew." Halcon said.
"It means pirate?" Strife asked as understanding the Spanish word.
"Yes, and enough hablar, amigos. Let's flight to the sky!" Halcon said as he and others went aboard on airship.
Greyback, Strife, and Halcon headed to a flight deck as Halcon steps on the throttle to make the airship's exhaust pipe smoking coming out. The airship moved upwards and forward to find Tempest's airship and rescued captives.
Author Notes: Twilight had found the lost map of Mount Aris where the Hippogriffs lived. Capper was guilty when they found out that his boss Verko sold them for the debt as Tempest, Grubber, and Storm Creatures soon arrived as well. Tempest blasted Verko away for annoying her, Utopia, Twilight, Spike and Mane Five were cornered by them as Greyback, Strife and Katherine stopped them and having a fight so Utopia and his friends had a chance to escape. Katherine is taken away as well as Capper and Tawny, Greyback and Strife retreated from them. Utopia and others were stowed away on the airship while Greyback and Strife were joined by another Element of Justice wielder named Halcon who possessed the Bow of Enchanted Raptor and helped them to save the captives.
