Grab your popcorn cause it's movie time, I noticed a common question from two reviews; Spike will have a part to play here. as well as the question of Duels in this story... I am not the best at writing duels, nor am I good at writing musical numbers. I can have them off screen, but sorry to say nothing yet. maybe later on, yes; but enough of me explaining stuff. and now our featured presentation.
Equestria was readying for a huge festival, Yuga wanted to go; but knew he needed to stay in the castle. Twilight had left a few minutes ago to check with the other princesses on a plan for this festival, but never asked what it was. So he watched from the balcony, where the festival was, a bit sad he couldn't go; but understood why. They still didn't know the best way to hide his alicorn status, no spell would work without any side effects. He used that time and practiced his magic, now having a laser beam spell in his list of spells. And he could make cleaner turns in the air, as well as using his wings as hands in some situations like wingshakes.
Starlight hung back for the festival, she and Trixie; a blue unicorn wearing a magician hat and cloak, would make a small surprise for the festival when the ground below them shook. Yuga used his wings to stabilize himself and saw the storm clouds roll into where the festival is. "Oh no, that looks bad," Yuga says as he dashes to his room, finding an old green cape he found while exploring the castle a few days ago and removes his jacket, places the cape on him, hiding his wings from view, and leaving a note for Starlight before dashing out his opened window.
Twilight looked at her reflection, Celestia said to find the queen of the hippos; this confuses her as she never known any queen of hippos from her point of view. She was too busy with her thoughts to notice the sound of something in the bushes nearby. The pink earth pony named Pinkie Pie did point it out and caught Twilight's attention when the one coming was Yuga wearing an old green cape to cover his wings and he looked relieved to find them.
"Twilight, Applejack, Rainbow, good thing I found you. What happened at the festival with all those clouds?" Yuga asked as Applejack runs to him. "Equestria was invaded by someone called the Storm King, with his first in command Tempest Shadow; they captured three of the princesses already, we need help from others. Maybe you can help, you are a unicorn after all." Applejack winks as Twilight nods in response. Yuga flicks his tail beneath his cape before saying, "yes I'll help; but I am not the strongest pony here."
"Great, oh Pinkie, Rarity, and Fluttershy; this is Yuga, he's been living in my castle for a week or so. Learning about magic with me and Starlight." Twilight says as she introduces Yuga to the others as he looks bashful at the attention. "Come on Twilight, I am not that special; just a lost pony is all." Twilight shakes her head in response before the thundering sound of the Storm King's invasion had the ponies and dragon to look at the sight in sadness. "Your world.. how do we stop this invasion?" Yuga asks as Twilight states the queen of hippos was needed.
"I hear they are hungry"
"Hungry?"
"Hungry?"
"Hippos?"
'Is this normal? I have heard of Hungry Hungry Hippos as a game.' Yuga thought in response to what was said but didn't speak his thoughts, before they started walking for who knows where.
To be continued.. expect these chapters to fly as I am catching up to the Archive of Our own version.
