(Mount Aris)

As the hot air balloon was closer to the front of very start long stairs.

"Hang on, guys! Once we crash-landed, brace for the impact." Applejack said as she, ponies including Utopia and Spike braced for the impact as it crashed landed on the ground but luckily, they survived.

"Okay, let's get out of this hot air balloon." Utopia said as he jumped out of the crate, so all girls and small dragon climbed out except Twilight struggled to get off in the crate.

"Let me help you, Twilight." Utopia said as he gestured his frontal hoof and Twilight grabbed his hoof to pull herself out, but she accidentally fell off and collided on him.

Twilight lands on top of Utopia's body as she lifted herself up but upon, they're looking each other making her more blushed on her cheeks looking away from him and Utopia was surprised knew that she had a small crush on him. Twilight sighed as she looked at Utopia again and tried to say something to him but interrupt by Applejack's voice clear her throat

"Ahem." Applejack replied making Twilight and Utopia looked at the Mane 5 and Spike who were surprised and embarrassed as Applejack shook her heads.

"Oooh. Twilight really likes him." Pinkie teased in sing-song tone in joy and bouncing around the love couples.

Utopia chuckled in embarrassment, but his cheeks turn redder.

"Nothing happened here." Utopia said as he gently pushed Twilight away from his body and rubs his hoof on his head and Rainbow Dash walked next to them with smirk face.

"We're just um…" He replied, completely loss of his words.

"Listen, you two wanted to be alone and all you need to ask us, alright?" She asked to them.

"Oh, come on, Rainbow. It was just the last thing out of my mind. I was tried to help her, that's all. But not a word." Utopia said with firm warning tone as Rainbow rolled her 'whatever' eyes.

Twilight turned to Utopia and brushed her mane affectionately.

"I just want to thank you for escaping from that horrible unicorn with her bunch of goons." Twilight said.

"Oh, no problem, well anyways. Let's get going guys, we got the Equestria to save." Utopia said as Mane 6 and Spike nodded their heads.

"You can count me in, Utopia and I'm not ready to give up myself that easily!" Rarity said.

Ten Minutes Later…

Utopia and others started to be climbed up the very long stairs lead to the Mount Aris, but it stops Rarity giving up herself when she said not to.

"That's it! I simply... cannot... even!" exclaimed an exhausted Rarity. "I have nothing…the bad guys have won!" She then collapsed to the ground in dramatic fashion, followed by a squeal after finishing her sentence. "I'm so sorryyyyyyyy-y-y-y!" She whined.

Utopia thought heard Rarity had just said before but now she's totally given up as he sighed and put his hoof on his head in irritation.

"I thought she said that before." He muttered himself.

"We're almost there!" Rainbow cried out to Rarity as she growled and scowled at her.

"Would you stop saying?!" Rarity exclaimed.

"No, really! We're actually here!" Rainbow yelled as they made it up to the top and saw a set of two large stone gates carved like Hippogriff's wings.

"This is it!" Twilight gasped.

"At last! We were lucky to find them in here." Utopia said happily.

"Well, I'll be." Applejack and laughed.

"Hippogriffs, here we come!" Rarity sighed in relief. "Time to rest my hooves."

(Mount Aris - Hippogriffia)

But once they walked through the large gates, they saw that the city was essentially abandoned. Buildings were in ruin and mildew and weeds were growing everywhere. Even all the doors to the beautiful dome-shaped dwellings had been left agape

"Are we sure this is the right place?" asked Rarity.

"It's the only place which is the right place." Utopia as he looked around.

"Hello?! Is anypony home?!" yelled Applejack.

"No Hippogriffs here!" said Pinkie, popping up at different points all over the city. "Or here! Or here! Or here! Or here or here or here!" Then she stopped in front of a small rock. "Waaaaaiiit!" Then she lifted the rock, but then moved away. "Nope! This place is Emp-ty!"

"But… Celestia… The map. They have to be here." said Twilight hopefully.

"That map could've been written centuries ago, and the Hippogriffs were gone." Utopia said. "And Celestia… I know you Alicorns are royal princesses much knowledge, but even someone as old could be wrong and I'm not sure they were hiding."

"Something bad happened here. Something that turned this whole place into a ghost town." Spike said.

"A g-g-g-g-ghost town?!" Fluttershy asked in fear.

"Don't be scared. People just say stuff like that sometimes. That doesn't mean there are actually ghosts here." Utopia assured.

Then a faint humming noise was heard, making Fluttershy gasp in fear.

"Of course, I could be wrong, y' know." Utopia dumbfounded.

Twilight listened closer and heard the source. "It's coming from over there!" she said.

"It's sound likes lullaby." Utopia said as the team walked toward a ruined door.

They went through it, Twilight and Utopia light up their magical horns as they saw a large fountain antechamber and in the middle of a fountain was a large pink lotus flower. Inside it was some sort of yellow light. The humming was getting louder as they got closer to the water, but then Pinkie knocked some loose stones down, causing the humming voice to stop and gasp.

"What was that?!" It asked in a feminine voice before something jumped from the big pink lotus into the water.

"Hey! Wait up!" Pinkie called as she jumped down the stairs nearby. "Cannonball!" Then she jumped into the water.

"Pinkie!" called Twilight as they all ran down to the water. Then Pinkie shot up and shot out the water in her mouth.

"She's gone!" She said.

"What? What do you mean she's gone? She just dived into the water." Utopia said.

Then they heard some sort of mechanical noises.

"Now what?" Twilight asked exasperated.

Then the water started rushing, scooping up Pinkie Pie.

"Huh?" she asked, confused.

The water was now starting to swirl around, creating a whirlpool that was quickly being sucked down into drain making all of them sinking.

"Oh, boy. I hate epic adventures." Rarity said.

"Then why'd you come along?" Utopia asked acting to be realistic.

Utopia and others screamed as they found themselves spinning in a circle faster and they were all submerged into deep water in sub cavern.

Twilight and Utopia tried to do something before the others drowning in the water but too late as they closed their eyes unconsciousness.

Then out of nowhere, Twilight and Utopia found their breath again as did all the others. They looked and saw their heads were encased in bubbles.

"Way to leave it to the last minute, Twilight and Utopia!" Pinkie panted.

"We didn't make these bubbles!" Utopia said.

"Then who did?" Fluttershy asked.

Then something swam past, causing everyone to gasp in fear and huddle closer.

"Who's there?" Utopia asked.

"Hello?" Twilight asked.

"We're looking for the Hippogriffs." Then the same yellow light from earlier floated up.

"How do I know I can trust you?" She said in an almost suspicious accusing voice.

"If you don't trust them, then trust me." Utopia said he puts his hoof on his chest.

"And who exactly are you?" The voice asked as her light shined on him making Utopia shielded himself with his hoof.

"I am Utopia Magus, but I can't tell you myself now. What is important is that the Storm King has invaded our realm, and we need their help to liberate it."

"The Storm King?!" The voice asked.

Then the light transformed into a female Seapony.

Princess Skystar was the Princess of Sequestria and daughter of Queen Novo. Her body coat was bright pale yellow, mane was light arctic blue hair and eyes were brilliant cyan. She also had wings colored a sort of shade of scarlet, freckles on her face, small sea pink anemone on her head, like a flower and has a sandy pink collar around neck with a single pearl.

"I am so glad I saved you guys! I'm totally taking you to my mom!" Skystar delighted.

"Wait a sec, what are you, some sort of Seapony?" Utopia asked.

"Yep, my name's Princess Skystar but call me Skystar because you know some friends called me that." Skystar said as she heard his brother voice so did all the others.

"Hey, sister! Where are you wandered off to?" A male voice asked as his orange light glowed and reveals himself as another Seapony.

Prince Starswift was the Prince of Seaquestria, brother of Princess Skystar and son of Queen Novo. His body coat was luminous vivid orange, mane was bright red, and eyes were golden yellow. He also has royal collar armor around his neck with a red gem on its center.

Prince Starswift saw the ponies and dragon as he gasped in shock and glared at his sister.

"Skystar, what do I tell you not to trust those strangers?!" Starswift asked as he crossed his arms and Utopia swim next to him.

"Our land is invaded by Storm King's forces and you have to trust us." Utopia said as Starswift looked at her sister Skystar who given pleaded baby eyeballs to him, quivering her eyes.

Starswift sighed in reluctance.

"Alright, you guys are lucky to survive and I'm Prince Starswift." He introduced himself and Princess Skystar tackled him in a warm hug.

"And also, my baby brother." She added as ponies and dragon looked each other in dumbfounded.

"No time to know that, we are taking you to our mother." Prince Starswift firmed as Skystar grabbed onto Twilight's hoof and the others followed her and Starswift going to see their mother.

"Does your mother know where they are?" Twilight asked.

"Oho!" Skystar said before switching to a singsong voice. "She might have an idea!" Then she giggled as Prince Starswift shook his head.

"She's always like that when she was having fun because I'm not inviting her myself." He retorted.

They seemed to be leading the ponies and dragon further down in the water through large caverns until she swam a little further ahead.

"We're almost there!" Skystar said and swam through a large cave.

(Seaquestria)

The others followed her and saw a huge orb-shaped city hanging from the cave ceiling.

"Wow!" The team awed at this. Utopia saw a group of Seaponies below and waved to them, but they just swam away.

"Well, I guess they are don't like trusting of surface-dwellers like us." Utopia said as he joined them not let the team left behind.

(Seaquestria - Queen Novo's Throne Room)

Then they swam up to the large structure hanging from the ceiling to see it was some sort of throne room.

And on the throne, was another sea-pony wearing a small festive crown as she was the queen.

Queen Novo was the queen of the Hippogriffs and Seaponies and mother of Princess Skystar and Prince Starswift. Her body coat was light fuchiaish gray, mane was the gradient of brilliant fuchsia to strong mulberry and eyes were strong magenta. She also had her large thinner purple wings on her back and brilliant fuchsia eyeshadow.

"Mother!" Skystar said as she and Starswift swimming up to her. "Look what we found!"

"Is it another shell?" Novo asked.

"Mm-mm." Skystar affirmed, quickly clapped her hooves.

"Yes, mother. We brought these strangers but guests." Starswift glanced at them but his mother ignores his son as she pays close attention to Princess Skystar.

"Because I am telling you." She said opening her purple eyes. "If it is another shell, I am—" The seconds she saw the team, she let out a huge gasp. "Princess Skystar and Prince Starswift, what have you two done?! You know surface-dwellers are forbidden here! Guards!" She ordered as the Seapony guards moved on the team, making them gasp as they held their spears seizing them.

"No no n-no! M-M-Mom, please! It is so not like that!" Skystar said.

"The Storm King and his army are trying to destroy their home too!" Starswift added.

"We need to find the Hippogriffs. Do you know what happened to them?" Twilight asked.

"Well, of course, I know. I'm the queen. I know everything." Queen Novo said boastfully.

"Oh, oh, it's such a good story!" Skystar said as she swam up.

"Don't you dare tell them!" Novo scolded her.

"But at least they wanted to know about it, mother." Starswift replied sarcastically swimming next to her mother.

Skystar waves her fin-hooves at a wall, making an illuminated illustration appear on the wall that shows Mount Aris with Hippogriffs soaring across the sky as she is telling the story about what happened to Hippogriffs.

"Once upon a time, like, a while ago, the Hippogriffs did live on Mount Aris." Skystar said as the team oohed at the markings and the story.

"Did I not say don't tell them? But hey, I'm just the queen. Don't mind me." Novo said as she is sitting back on her throne chair and Starswift groaned.

"But Mom!" Starswift protested as he has given himself up.

Skystar rolled her eyes at her mother's sarcastic nature and continues narrating.

"Fine! I can't tell you! But if I could tell you, I'd say that that horned beast did show up to steal their magic!" She said as she made an image of the Storm King appeared on another wall.

"Seriously?" The queen remarked as she leans on her throne rest.

Skystar light up two more images, one showing a Hippogriff that looks like the queen that is in the room and the other show the Seaponies and the palace they all are in right now.

"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 said as the group was surprised that the Hippogriffs are alive and are the very sea-ponies that are currently face-to-face with.

As Skystar laughs and moved to Utopia and others.

"But I totally did not tell you that neither with Starswift!" Skystar whispered to Applejack and the others.

"So then does that mean you're…?" Utopia asked, pointing at the queen.

"Well, I guess the pearl is out the oyster now. I am Queen Novo." Novo introduces herself as Applejack questions what they had done back then.

"Hold on now. Lemme get this straight. When the Storm King came, you just abandoned your entire city and fled?" Applejack asked as Starswift came up with her.

"We didn't flee like flying away and abandoned our home. We just swam away." Swift said.

"Yeah, y' know, in order to flee." Skystar added as Starswift has raised his eyebrow at her in exasperated.

"And how did the Hippogriffs turn into a sea-ponies?" Utopia asked as Starswift grinned in ironically.

"I would like to hear from my answers or her." He said as he pointed back at Skystar.

"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 pestered Novo as she kept tapping her shoulders with her fins.

"Come on mother, show it to them." Starswift said as their mother had a straight face.

"Well, I suppose I should make sure it still works." Novo chuckled as she, Skystar and Starswift swim up to the jellyfish as it lowers and released a glowing and shimmering pink pearl that has sparkles and lights in its center, showing to be powerful.

The group looks in awe at the pearl as it floats down into Novo's fins as she said to her daughter.

"Careful, now." Skystar squealed in excitement at the sight of the magic pearl.

Then, with a wave of her fin, a stream of magic flies out of the pearl and heads towards the group.

Utopia watched with a surprised look on his face as the magic enveloped on himself and girls.

One-by-one, their back legs morphed into fishtails with fins the same color as their mane.

Their cutie marks moved to a dorsal fin that is the same color as well. Twilight, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy had their wings turned transparent as well. Their bubbles pooped as well, showing that had gained the ability to breathe underwater as well. They all gasped in awe and were excited by their new forms. Utopia excited about that the pearl changed any ponies into sea-ponies as well.

"These fins are divine!" Rarity squeals out at looking at her new tail.

"So, have I!" Utopia exclaimed.

"Hey, Applejack, I'll race you to that coral!" Rainbow said.

"You're on!" Applejack exclaims, racing off with Rainbow Dash as Pinkie was swimming loop-de-loops near Fluttershy, who was holding and looking at her new tail fins.

"Ooh! Try it, Fluttershy!" Pinkie said as Fluttershy giggled.

"Yay." She said as she waved her tail fin shyly.

Spike then floats, now in the form of a pufferfish as he looks around in scared confusion.

"Guys? Guys? What is…?" He asked before he puffed up. "…happening?!"

"I think it's alright with you, Spike." Utopia said.

"Aw, so cute!" Fluttershy said.

"This is amazing! With this, we could transform everypony at home into something powerful enough to face the Storm King's army!" Twilight said as she is reaching for the pearl but Novo holding it back.

"Or it could end up in his greedy claws!" Novo said.

"But…" Twilight said.

"Honey, I'm sorry about your home. I truly am." Novo said in a soft voice but firm tone. "But my responsibility is to protect my subjects. The pearl... is not going anywhere."

The queen is putting the pearl back into the jellyfish and sat back down.

"But, your majesty." Utopia protested. "We came all this way for your help. And you can't just hide down here, trapped under the ocean forever! There's so much upon the surface you're missing!"

"We are one hundred percent okay with that!" Novo exclaimed.

"Jamal?" Prince Starswift asked as the small octopus who came. "Oh, you must be here to remind Mom about her appointment."

Jamal nodded in response.

"Of course." Starswift said, gesturing his mother.

Jamal then chittered and spoke with Queen Novo.

"Yes, Jamal?" Queen Novo replied as Jamal chittered about massaging her.

"Ooh! Time for my seaweed wrap." Then she swam off. "But-!" Utopia yelled as Jamal just chittered to her again.

"Yes, a massage, too. Mama needs her deep tissue." Novo said.

Then Utopia and the others swam up.

"So that's it? We left home for nothin'?" Applejack asked worriedly.

"Oh, my gosh! Best... idea!" Skystar beamed.

"Sis, what are you thinking?" Starswift asked her sister.

"You can stay with us! Forever!" Princess Skystar giggled to her brother before looking to the others who had sheepishly smiled. "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'? And 'Sheldon'? Get it?" She then snorted and chuckled as she shoved the shells in front of them.

Starswift laughs embarrassingly.

"She has many ideas about hobbies for friends." He admitted.

"Absolutely right, Starswift." Skystar said which made Pinkie giggled, liking her and seeing a cheerful friend.

"That sounds lovely, darling, but you must realize, we can't stay." Rarity said.

"We've gotta get back to our families." Applejack added.

"Now, Sky, don't get upset…" Starswift tried to settle down his sister, knowing how easily emotional she could get sometimes.

"Oh, uh, no, it's okay Swift. And besides, Shelly and Sheldon get jealous anyway." Skystar smiled sadly.

"I understand…" Starswift replied, trying to spare her feelings.

"It's probably for the best. I'll just… Um… I'll get Mom to, uh, turn you back so you can go home." Skystar sighed as she swam away.

"I'll go check on her, she can be very sensitive." Prince Starswift told the group before swimming to his sister.

"You're a good brother after all." Utopia approved.

Pinkie was upset for her and swam after her for a bit before she went back to the others.

"I know we have to go, but you guys saw how disappointed Princess Skystar was." She said.

"Couldn't we stay for just a little longer?"

"Pinkie, we just don't have for-" Applejack began.

"Oh, no. No, no. Pinkie's right." Twilight said in a weird tone of voice.

"Say what now?" Rainbow asked.

"What are you planning this way, Twilight?" Utopia asked.

"Well, we still need to come up with a plan to get back. A few minutes won't make a huge difference." Twilight said. "And if there's anypony who can cram a lifetime of fun into a blink of an eye, it's Pinkie Pie!"

Pinkie smiled hugely and gave a happy "Squee" noise.

"So, go ahead and show Skystar the best time ever!" Twilight encouraged.

"I won't let you down!" Pinkie said, saluting as she and the others swam away.

"I'm counting on it." Twilight said before pushing all her friends out of the throne room together except Utopia has suspicious looks on his face and she turned looked at him.

"I know what you're doing. You're going to steal the pearl." Utopia said as he is looking up at jellyfish with Twilight. "We can't just take it, Queen Novo would get furious at us and banished us to the surface."

"So that why you need to go with them if you are helping me back before." Twilight said as Utopia shook his head seriously.

"Oh no, Twilight. I don't think this is such a good idea." Utopia said nervously.

"This is… the only way." Twilight said.

Utopia pondered for the moment as he sighed.

"Well, okay. I probably do it right now." Utopia said.

"Thank you." Twilight smiled as Utopia swimming back to the others.
