It took them several hours but they finally managed to corner Discord into the corner between two walls. All of them looked tired and exhausted, but still, they were happy and smiling. However, Discord didn't seem to affect.

"Discord, what can you say in your defense?" Princess Celestia was extremely tired at this point.  "I think I have a huge headache!"

"Me? I am not sure what you mean? All of you agreed to it and signed a contract to star in the most expensive movie project ever created." 

Rainbow Dash, as well as all the others, looked at him with the look of annoyance. "Hey, buddy, if you think you could forget what you just did, let me remind you. We already tried to talk with you like civilized people, and do you know what you did next? You decided to just casually erase the last twenty-four hours like they never happened!"

"So? You still failed to stop Twilight Sparkle jumping into the vortex! As far I am concerned I just did you all a big favor. In fact, let me paint you a picture, I've spent way too much time with my sister Eris, who came to me screaming at me for my stupidity. I've made quite a lot of mistakes across space and time. What are you even doing here? I would just suggest you go get Twilight Sparkle out of there. Fair warning, you are going to end up under a lot of pressure so, good luck! I am pretty sure that the emergency bubble is going to protect you all at the same time!" He snapped his claws and all the ponies vanished.

The first one who woke up was Pinkie Pie, "Look everypony we are deep under the ocean! Huh, I guess, we are supposed to go here in the first place!" She trotted to the edge of the bubble and then sat down on the ground.

Rarity trotted next to Pinkie Pie and then sat down next to her. It was a really big bubble, Princess Celestia generated a lot more magical energy to power it.  "It's kind of pretty isn't it!"

"Yes, yes it is!"

Meanwhile Princess Twilight and Princess Skystar had been floating in the large throne room. Well, Princess  Skystar had been floating, Twilight had been standing in her own personal bubble. On both sides of the room, there were two rows of Seapony guards. Right in front of them was a throne where the Queen of Seaponies had been floating, they all have been floating in here.

"So it would seem that my daughter has brought a surface dweller back to us! I suppose that just means I should ground you!"

Princess Skystar wasn't faced with a threat of grounding, "Well, you can't really ground me because we are all underwater, and if you actually would try to ground me then I suppose that means I would be banished to the surface!"

"You know what I mean, you disobedient child! And you!" She took her attention to Twilight, "It's been so long ago when your kind visited us last time."

Twilight started talking, "Seven years actually, and last time I checked hippogriffs and Seaponies were completely different tribes. So I ask you, what did your people do to the Seaponies?"

"We are Seaponies!"

"Like hay you are, I will ask you again! What the hay did you do to the Seaponies?"

Princess Skystar became super excited, "I know this one! Only we use the word seaweed. Oh oops, sorry!"

"My name is Queen Novo, and as I was trying to say before my daughter interrupted me, we are Seaponies!"

Twilight Sparkle took in a big calming breath. "I think I relived the same day twice. On my first day, when I first came here I was very scared and confused, but then I found out the little history that you are trying to hide! I thought that it was a bit strange that about seven years ago we lost contact with a hippogriff tribe. The same exact tribe who is now claiming to be part of an ancient tribe of Seaponies. So I came here for the second time around, and I would greatly appreciate it if you drop the pretense!"

Princess Skystar had been looking at both of them with the fearful look, from the looks of it other  Seaponies had similar uncomfortable expressions on their faces.

"Aren't you the brave little pony! You came all this way to us, just to insult us in our faces!"

Twilight shook her head, "it's very unfortunate that you don't see reason! Honestly, I am offering you a peaceful solution to all of our problems! You are the one who is trying to be stubborn!

"You know, I thought that maybe Kings or Queens aren't bastards. You see, the Queen of Changelings is also my greatest friend. Their new King is also my friend as well. And then there is you! Liar and a cheater!"

Queen Novo had enough! That pony is starting to get on her nerves, "Guards seize her!"

Almost immediately the battle group rushed in to obey the given order, however, a massive pulse of magic pushed them back. At the same time, the water got displaced by a large bubble force field. Princess SkyStar ended up being inside the bubble immediately exposed to the different environment, which caused her body to transform into hippogriff.

"I am okay!" Twilight heard her shouting.

"Fascinating!!" Twilight simply said, with her bubble had been popped she decided it would be the best to fly away towards her friends who immediately surrounded her into the protective circle.

"I am really sorry for my student rude behavior, she is currently under a lot of stress. I think it would be best if we just forgot this little incident." She then turned around to Cadence, "Is this makes me too much of a pushover? What about assertiveness, am I not assertive right now? Please tell me if I am because I have noticed that the ponies stopped respecting me!

"No, No! You are good! Honestly, why is this still an issue?" Princess Cadence replied to her.

"Because every time there is a world crisis involved we always end up our flanks kicked like it was nothing to sneeze at. Cadence do you remember your heroic moment, like the last thing that you did, heroically!"

"But isn't that what the enemy is supposed to do? They invade at our territory and then gloat at how weak and pathetic the ponies are! "

Meanwhile, at Twilight side, her friends had been preparing to make a run for it, "Alright, the royal package is secured when Celestia would give us a signal we are going to mass teleport our sorry tails out of here! Is this bubble started to shrink, why is it shrinking?

"The energy is magic to just keep it this big, and now Princess Celestia's magic reserves are nearly depleting, we barely have enough magic to mass teleport all of us out of here!" shouted Pinkie Pie, "Don't ask me how I know this? I just know."

Applejack had been slowly observing how the protection bubble had been slowly, "I don't think I want to be that pony but I think I would need to take Rainbow's side! I don't really understand why did you had to come back to here, but now that we finally went and get you back we can finally go home! Princess Celestia can handle the rest! Maybe we even could even forget  that all of this did happen."

"Mhmm!" Everypony else agreed with her. Applejack nodded at Princess Cadence, and Princess Cadence nodded at Princess Celestia who then nodded back at Princess Cadence and then Princess Cadence nodded back at Applejack. Everypony else groaned at that.

"Will you just hurry up, we need to jump now! I don't think our bubble can handle it anymore!" Rainbow Dash yelled at them. With a small flash, they mass teleported back to the surface.
