At the beach, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy and Mugman arrive at the to find the Inkwell characters. Fluttershy is the one who decides to come here for the most logical reason.
But Rainbow still asks, "So why are we here again?"
The three are walking on the sandy beach. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy are both wearing their swimwear with sandals.
"Well, I think this is where we're going to find some of Mugman's friends," Fluttershy answers.
Mugman responds, "It kind of make since, I'm sure a beach close to the ocean is where we can find Captain Brineybeard and Cala Maria."
"Good point. I'll be we'll find one of them on the shore line," Rainbow says.
But Mugman asks, "But what if they're too far away to find them?"
"Then we'll just have to to take a boat out to sea," Fluttershy says.
She walks to the edge of the shore, and says, "And I can ask the sea creatures if they seen them around."
"Good idea, Fluttershy. Now make with the magic," Rainbow says.
"Alright," Fluttershy answers with a nod.
Fluttershy walks into the water as she puts her goggles and snorkel. She then dives under the water. Rainbow and Mugman remain on the beach.
"So what does this magic you're talking about?" Mugman asks.
"Fluttershy's geode has the power to talk to animals. She's going to ask them if they see a pirate or a mermaid around here," Rainbow answers.
"Oh," Mugman replies looking at the water.
A few minutes later, Fluttershy comes out of the water. As she reaches the shore, she takes off the goggles and snorkel. Rainbow and Mugman turn to see Fluttershy is back.
Rainbow asks, "So how your underwater conversation go?"
"Well, the sea turtles told me that they did saw a strange mermaid that has a purple octopus on her head swimming
around the water," Fluttershy answers.
"That must be Cala Maria. But… what about Brineybeard?" Mugman replies.
Fluttershy shakes her head, "They haven't seen him or his ship, but said that they'll keep an eye on him and let us know."
Rainbow sighs, "At least we know where one of them is. Now we need to find a way to get under the water… and stay there long enough to find her."
"It's not going to be easy, Cala Maria knows her way around the water. I'm sure if we call out to her, she'll be able to come," Mugman replies.
Fluttershy and Rainbow look at each other with confused looks on their faces.
"You think that will work?" Rainbow questions.
Fluttershy thinks about it, "I don't know, but it's work a try."
Mugman stands in front of the wet sand as the water comes towards it.
Mugman calls out, "CALA MARIA!"
The three wait to see if anything is happening. Sadly, nothing seems to happen.
"Well, it looks like we're going sailing," Rainbow says.
"Looks like it," Mugman says, a little disappointed.
"Don't worry, I'm sure Cala Maria will hear us better if we get to the water," Fluttershy says, showing a reassuring smile.
"I guess so," Mugman replies with a nod.
Then Rainbow says, "So let's go to the docks and rent us a boat."
The three begin to walk along the beach to reach the docks so they can rent a boat. Suddenly, the water begins to bubble, and an octopus beings to surface.
Fluttershy turns to see the water, and gasp in shock.
"Um guys, something's coming out of the water," Fluttershy scaredly says.
Rainbow and Mugman turn to see the purple octopus is being lifted from the ocean. Soon a giant woman begins to rise from the sea, her skin is a white color, and has two scratches on her left arm. She also has pair of seashells wrapped on her chest, and a light blue tail. She lifts the tentacles up to reveal the blue color eyes.
She happily waves, and says, "Yoo hoo! Mugsy, over here!"
"Hi Maria!" Mugman happily waves back.
Dumbfounded, Rainbow says, "Well, I guess that worked after all."
"At least we found her," Fluttershy adds, trying to find a good moment.
"Yeah. I guess one good thing came out, but why she called Mugman Mugsy?" Rainbow says with a confused look.
Cala Maria swims up to shore to see Mugman.
She smiles, and says, "It's great to see you. I just woke up to find myself in a part of the ocean. Seeing there's a new place to explore, I decided to check it out,a nod I made friends with the ocean animals."
"Glad to know you're having a good time. I was worried there for a minute," Mugman replies.
Cala giggles, and says, "No need to worry. As you can see, I'm perfectly fine."
She then notices the two girls standing behind Mugman.
"So Mugsy, aren't you going to introduce me to your friends?" Cala asks with a smile.
Mugman giggles, and says, "Right. Cala Maria, these are my new friends, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy."
"Hi you two, it's very nice to meet you," Cala happily says.
"Hey," Rainbow says.
And Fluttershy shyly says, "Hello."
"So think you two can tell me where I am? Like, I know this isn't the same ocean where I come from, and I know my
friends will be worried," Cala asks, showing concern.
Rainbow nervously laughs, and answers, "Yeah. We know where you are."
"And well, we kind of have a problem," Fluttershy worriedly adds.
Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Mugman explain to Cala Maria about the situation they are in. As they have their
conversation, someone is watching them from the distance. Seeing the girls, cup, and mermaid, he knows it's time to
strike.
After explaining the situation, Cala Maria is rather annoyed by this.
"I should have known The Devil, wouldn't give up on our contracts that easily," Cala firmly says.
"Yeah. From what happen earlier, The Devil probably have his men around here, so we need to keep an eye out for them,"
Rainbow says.
Then Fluttershy asks, "Ms. Cala…"
"Please, call me Maria," Cala Maria replies.
Fluttershy continues, "Maria, have you seen Captain Brineybeard or his ship around here?"
"I'm sorry, I haven't seen him or the others for that matter," Cala Maria answers while shaking her head.
"Well at least we found you before anyone else does," Mugman happily says.
"Yeah. It would make things crazy if anyone sees a big mermaid around," Rainbow adds.
"Oh… I'm not that big," Cala scoffs it off.
"That not what Rainbow means. She means that you are so tall, anyone would notice you. Everyone would wonder why
there's a mermaid is here," Fluttershy clarifies.
Maria giggles, and says, "I know, I'm just teasing."
"Ether way, you need to find somewhere to hide until we find a way to get you all home. And keep an eye out for King
Dice and the others. They're around here this way," Rainbow says, taking the situation seriously. She then looks around.
"More closer than you think kid," A strange voice appears.
Hearing the voice, the group stand alert. Suddenly, something begin to revolves around each of the.
Recognizing them, Mugman exclaims, "Look out!"
Mugman Cala Maria, and Rainbow Dash dodge in time, but Fluttershy ends up getting tied up something hard and they're hurting her.
Looking down at what catches her, Fluttershy scaredly ask, "A-a-are those… Rabbit skulls?!"
"Hopus Pocus!" Mugman confirms.
Just then, a top hat floats to the group. Then a white rabbit pops out with weirded yellow eyes with light blue irises, buck tooth teeth, whiskers, and. He is wearing a long sleeve light blue coat with matching pants, a white shirt, and a red bow tie. He is holding a magic wand.
the rabbit evilly laughs, and says, "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to my latest magic show. And my first one is to make this sweet little lady…"
Hopus uses his wand to levitated Fluttershy come, "Disappear."
Not wanting to happen Rainbow uses her super speed as she shouts. "Get your skulls off of her!"
Rainbow then jumps and punches the rabbit in the face. That makes Hopus lose focus of his magic, and Flutters falls from her restraint. Mugman runs, and catches Fluttershy, but ends up falling on the sand.
Fluttershy smiles, and says, "Thank you Mugman."
She gives Mugman a kiss causing him to blush a little.
"You're welcome," Mugman says, feeling embarrassed.
Fluttershy stands up, and help Mugman get on his feet.
Rainbow runs to Fluttershy, and worriedly asks, "Are you alright, Flutters?"
"I'm fine. Thank you for saving me," Fluttershy replies with a smile.
"No problem. That was friends are for," Rainbow says with pride.
Just then Hopus Pocus laughs and says, "Well, it looks like you two do have special magic up your sleeves. In that cause, I'm sure the boss will be pleased to have his run away debtors along with two magical girls."
The four gasp in shock to hear what the rabbit says. He's not only going to take Mugman and Cala Maria by force, but Rainbow and Fluttershy as well.
Mugman stands in front of the girls in defence, "I'm not going to let you take any one of their souls. Not while I'm around."
"So the little cup wants to challenge me, eh?" Hopus remarks.
Rainbow says, "And he has some help dealing with you."
"Um well, yeah," Fluttershy adds, trying to be brave.
"You will have to fight us in order to get us, "Cala Maria adds.
Hopus laughs, and says, "Well it looks like I'm to have quiet a show! Then let's the magic begin!"
Hopus uses his magic wand to make card suits fly right at them. The four dodge out of the way, Fluttershy is scared as it
happen. Mugman decides to use his magic to blast the rabbit while dodging the suits.
Hocus then makes the rabbit skulls appear again to capture them, but a Rainbow uses her super speed to dodge them,
and carry Fluttershy.
Cala Maria then uses her power to create a giant spout of water, and aim it at the rabbit. However, Hopus uses his wand
to make himself disappear before the water can hit him. Then reapers when the waves disappeared.
Cala Maria then grabs a big yellow fish and squeezes it so it can spout out spiked balls. The balls begin to bounce to the
rabbit, but hides in his hat. Mugman then launches his attacks as well.
Hopus pops out and mocks, "Nah nah nah nah nah, you can't catch me!"
Rainbow growls in anger, "I'll show you, you overgrown magician's pet!"
Rainbow the uses her super speed to beat the stuffing out of the rabbit. Hopus uses his wand to attack Rainbow with the suits and the clubs, but Rainbow's super speed make it impossible for his attacks to hit.
Rainbow jumps up, and gives the rabbit a hard kick on the head. Then Mugman uses his special attack, spraying a
tsunami of white liquid from his head. The rabbit falls out of his hat and rolls back until he lands on his own back. Hopus
grown in pain.
Rainbow chuckle with a smile, and says, "Well, it looks like it's the end of you rabbit."
"Yeah. I think it's time for your next act is for you to disappear," Mugman adds.
But Hopus jumps back on his feet, and unleash four rope of handkerchiefs from his sleeves. The rope coil up the four, and tie the, pretty tight.
Hopus laughs, and says, "Sorry kid, but I still brand new magic tricks up my sleeve. Now you two debtors are going to pay your debts. And as for you two girls… I'm sure the boss will find good use for you."
Rainbow struggles against her restraints, "You'll never get away with this!"
"Oh but I already have. Now you will be coming with me," Hopus remarks.
Suddenly someone shouts, "Aim… FIRE!"
And then a very loud…
Boom!
A black cannonball hits Hopus Pocus on the head, sending him back and loses his ropes. The four ropes become loose and fall down from their bodies.
Fluttershy turns to Rainbow, and asks, "Where did that come from?"
"I don't know," Rainbow answers, looking confused.
Mugman turns to the water and shows a big smile as he shouts, "Look!"
The three look at the water to see a big red ship sailing right towards them. Standing at the bow is a man with a short black beard and a bright red nose. He is wearing a gray long sleeve shirt with yellow lining a the ends of the sleeves, a black belt with a yellow buckle, red pants, an earring on the left ear, an eye patch on the right eye, a red and yellow striped bandana on his head, and two peg legs.
"Ahoy! Ye thinks you all can use a hand," The pirate captain says.
"Briney, you're here!" Mugman happily cheers.
"Of course I'm here. I woke up to find myself with a new ocean to explore, but it seems I came in time to saved you and
your friends from this scalawag," Brineybeard says.
"You can say that again," Rainbow replies.
With a smile, Fluttershy says, "Thank you for saving us."
"It's no problem. A friend of Mugman is a friend of mine," Brineybeard.
Suddenly they hear groaning sound, like someone is in pain. They turn to see Hopus Pocus is starting to sit up and rubs his head due to the impact on the cannon ball.
He becomes stunned to see the four are free and have an addition to the group. They look at the him with stern looks on their faces.
Hopus nervously laughs, and says, "Uh… I was just uh, joking about kidnapping you guys huh. Let's just forget this whole thing and you simply come with me."
Cala Maria huffs, and say, "I say you get out of here and go back to your boss before I become a gorgon and turn you into an undersea statue."
Hopus gulf to hear this statement.
He gets up, and says, "Alright, I'll go. But the boss will not be pleased about this."
Hopus jumps back in his hat, and it disappears in a whole in the ground. Hopus has been defeated, and they won't have
to worry him showing up. At least… For now.
Rainbow speaks up, "Well, at least he's gone."
"Yeah. For now," Mugman replies.
After this little fiasco, Rainbow and Fluttershy explain to Brineybeard about what has happen and about him and the other debtors being endanger.
"Sounds to me like you and your friends have quite a journey ahead of ye," Brineybeard says.
"That's right. You and Cala Maria need to hide somewhere until we can find a way to send you all back home," Fluttershy says.
Then Rainbow says, "And you need to watch out for King Dice and those other guys. They can come back at any time."
"We understand. Well go find somewhere close by so you can find us and we'll hidden. But you have to be careful girls,
The Devil and King Dice are dangerous beings to have as an enemy, and will do what it takes to get ride of anyone who seems like a threat," Cala Maria advise.
"Don't worry, we'll find everyone and stop the Devil before he can do any damage to this world," Mugman says with a smile.
"Now it seems be better get going. Hope to see you kids around," Brineybeard says.
His ship comes to live, and rides ways to find a place to hide itself.
Cala Maria leans to the three small kids, and says, "Bye girls. Good bye, Mugsy."
Then Cala Maria gives Mugman a kiss on the cheek causing him to blushe that his cheeks are turning red. Then Cala Maria swims away to catch up with Brineybeard.
Fluttershy giggles, and asks Mugman, "I think she likes you."
"Yeah. I… I guess so," Mugman shyly replies.
Rainbow takes out her phone, "I'm going to text the others about Cala Maria and Brineybeard are found, and about our little fight with Hopus Pocus."
Fluttershy nods her head in reply.
"Make sure you ask if they found the others," Mugman says.
Then Fluttershy, "And warn the others about what Hopus Pocus said."
Rainbow nods her head in reply. Rainbow then begins to send a text to the others about what happened at the beach.
They are glad they find two, but know there are more that needs to be found. What's more, if what Hopus Pocus says is true, the others might be endanger as well, especially seeing what kind of powers Rainbow display.
