"How are we going to fix the kingdom?"
"I know!" Grammy cried. "There are magical wands called the Four Heart Wands that could be able to help,"
"What are those?" Pickle asked.
"The Four Heart Wands are wands with powerful abilities," Grammy explained.
"So... they might be powerful enough to get rid of the ice and snow!" Crusher gasped.
"Where can we find them?" Blaze wondered.
"Well... according to legend, the wands can be found through three other kingdoms-- the Crystal Kingdom, the Fairy Kingdom, and the Sea Kingdom. If you put all four together, your powers will be unstoppable!"
"Alright, at least we know where we're going," Crusher nodded in understanding.
"We better get our unicorns and start that kingdom trek right away!" Blaze declared. "Grammy, can you and Crusher's parents stay here and look after the kingdom?"
"Of course, dears," Grammy gave a nod.
"Be careful, all of you," Iris told them, hugging her son. "And come back safe and alive,"
"We will, Mom, don't worry," Crusher assured her.
"Let's go!"
The group called on their unicorns, who all flew towards them in an instant.
"Hey, Spectra!" Blaze exclaimed happily. "Good to see you! Good to see all of you!"
"Happy to see you all too!" Spectra beamed.
"I make ice, but this is too much." Iceheart shuddered.
"We know-- it's Silla and her family," Crusher responded. "We need the Four Wands of Heart to stop them, but we need help to not freeze and to make it across the ice. Can you help us, girl?"
"Of course," Iceheart nodded.
Using her horn, winter gear appeared on everyone, and special horse shoes on the unicorns' hooves to stop them from slipping.
"There. Now let's go!"
With that, the group hopped onto their unicorns and set off.
Meanwhile, Silla, Bruno and Tiilo watched as the unicorns headed off to leave the kingdom.
"They're getting away!" Bruno snarled.
"We'll have to stop them." Tiilo growled.
"I have several ideas," Silla smirked. "Leave them to me."

"So where are heading to first?" Pickle asked.
"The Crystal Kingdom is closest, so we'll head there. I look forward to meeting the REAL ruler of the kingdom, Queen Amethyst. Turns out, Speedrick took her captive when heading to the ball and kidnap me." Crusher spoke.
"At least we don't have to worry about him anymore. Let's shake a hoof and get moving!" Twiga said.
"Where's the Crystal Kingdom, exactly?" AJ wondered.
"I think it's just over beyond those hills."
"Then that's where we're heading," Blaze declared.
As they trekked forward, Silla flew her broom towards them, waving her wand to cast her spell as she smirked. She blasted the sky, causing it rumble and darken as it hovered over the group. Snow suddenly started to fall from the sky, much to their surprise.
"Snow? This sudden?" AJ asked.
Soon, the snow began to pick up the pace, becoming harder and harder until it becameā¦
"BLIZZARD!" Crusher yelled out as the heavy snow blew against them.
"We need to take shelter!" Blaze yelled.
"Over there! In that crystal cave!" Spectra cried. "It's a hidden entrance to the kingdom!"
"Let's go!"
They rode towards the cave as quickly as they could. Silla growled.
"Drat!! At least they'll have no way out of the cave when the blizzard does end."
With that, she turned and flew back to the frozen kingdom.
Meanwhile, the group wandered inside the crystal cave, which had crystals that lit up and glowed in the dark.
"At least we have some light in here. But how did it come up a blizzard that fast?" Windy wondered, sitting next to AJ.
"It must have been Silla." Iceheart snarled. "Only she could have made a blizzard appear do quickly."
"At least we can continue on to the kingdom through this tunnel. But we better be careful-- Queen Amethyst is rumored to be kind, but her crystal wolves... not so much." Twiga spoke with a hiss.
"C-Crystal wolves?!" Spectra shuddered.
"What about crystal wolves?" Blaze wondered.
"They're beautiful animals that give off a trail of glowing paw prints. But... they're extremely loyal to their masters, and very territorial." Iceheart replied.
"I guess we'll have to be careful then," Crusher hissed.
"Uh... guys? What should we do if, say... a pack of three wolves is gaining on us?!" AJ cried out.
"WHAT?!"
The group turned to see three crystal wolves growling at them from behind.
"Oh no... what can we do?!" Pickle shrieked.
"Only thing I can think of-- everyone, brace yourselves!!" Blaze spoke.
They gulped as the wolves got closer and closer towards them with growls.
"Wolves!" a feminine voice cried out. "Return to me and do not hurt these tired travelers!"
"Huh?"
The group looked confused as the wolves turned away from them. They glanced over to where they were turning to and found a woman with purple hair that shimmered like crystals while she wore a dress of pink and blue and white that was adorned with crystals of all colors. Her eyes were of red, staring down at them with a gentle smile on her face as she rode on a white male unicorn with a purple mane and tail.
"Wow..."
The group's jaws dropped at the sight of her. Crusher quickly recovered form the shock and stepped forward.
"You must be Queen Amethyst. I'm Crusher, prince of the Rainbow Kingdom. And these are my friends."
"The Rainbow Prince?!" Queen Amethyst gasped as she hopped off of her horse and gave a bow. "It is an honor to meet you, Prince Crusher,"
"You too."
"Um... Queen Amethyst? We were wondering if we could pass through your kingdom," AJ explained, before proceeding to tell the entire story.
Amethyst looked horrified by the end.
"The evil witches have returned? That is horrible!"
"So... will you let us pass through?" AJ asked.
"Of course I will. But considering it's so late, you can stay the night if you'd like."
"That's very gracious of you, your highness," Blaze smiled. "We accept your offer."
"Excellent!" Amethyst smiled. "Come, follow me!"
They followed after the queen through the cave. They went turn after turn until they made it to a dead end.
"It's... just a dead end," Pickle said.
"Is it just a dead end, your highness?" AJ asked.
Amethyst smiled and raised her hand towards the dead end. As she did, her hand gave a glow before the wall in front of them vanished, leading to a tunnel.
"Whoa..."
"Come, let us go!" Amethyst urged them to follow her.
They headed through the tunnel and found an opening at the end. When they reached it, they were met with crystals and crystals everywhere in the land.
"Wow... now I see why it has a hidden entrance!" Blaze gasped. "It's so beautiful here!"
"Thank you for the kind words," Amethyst smiled. "Come, let us get you all to the palace,"
They all rode off through the path of crystals. They soon made it to a palace of pink, yellow and purple, all made of crystals as the castle stretched up towards the sky.
"Oooooh!!"
They group gasped in amazement. Amethyst laughed.
"Yes, my palace is truly magnificent, don't you think?"
"It's one of the most amazing palaces I've ever seen!" Pickle exclaimed.
"Come, I'll ask Volo here to guide your unicorns to the stables tonight. Then I will show you to your rooms."
They all hopped off their unicorns, who followed Volo to the stables while Amethyst led them inside the palace, which was glistening in crystals as much as the outside.
"Wow..."
"Those four rooms down that hallway are all yours," the queen smiled. "And once you enter them, they magically change to fit you and your likings."
They looked surprised but went over to check out the rooms. Blaze entered his, and the room immediately turned red. The whole room showed images of him and his friends while bed turned orange that had a yellow fire pattern at its end.
"Oh-ho, wow!" He exclaimed.
AJ went over to his room, and the room turned orange and red. The room showed the trophies they won while the bed turned red with an orange fire pattern at its end.
"Woah! This is amazing!"
Pickle drove over to his room and squealed. The room turned green with bumps at the walls. Even his bed had turned into a pickle bed while plushies of all kind occupied the bed.
"WHOO-HOO!!"
Crusher chuckled as he heard Pickle dive into the bed of plushies. He headed to his room and watched as the room turned blue, with lightning marks on the sides. His bed was silver and icy blue, with lots of rainbow pillows on it. Little Trucky magically appeared on the bedside table, much to his delight.
"Little Trucky!" he exclaimed, hugging the toy.
"I'm glad you all are comfortable," said Amethyst with a smile. "Good night now. Sweet dreams."
With that, the group turned in for the night.
