The Friendship Express neared Manehattan.
But, before it could enter, it stopped at a station a few miles outside of Manehattan to pick up a few passengers, and a few repairs had to be made, too.
The Mane 7, Spike, and the Princesses, stepped off as well to get off and stretch. Next to the station was a cliff that viewed the ocean and Manehattan.
Pinkie hopped over and into a clearing that had a complete view of the ocean.
The ocean's air blew her mane and she a took in a deep breath of the ocean's scent, which was salty.
Seagulls chirped in the distance and she could here the ocean waves crash against the cliff. It was completely peaceful. Twilight soon joined her.
"Beautiful, isn't it?" Twilight asked her. "Yes, very" Pinkie replied. Applejack soon came, as well as the rest of them, except Starlight and the princesses.
They all took in a deep breath, smelling the salty ocean air. The ocean breeze blew against their manes.
Spike looked at the ocean, then Rarity, and back to the ocean, then, back to Rarity. "Rarity?" Spike asked her. "Yes, Spike?" she replied.
"I've been observing the ocean and you and, in conclusion, you are just as beautiful as the ocean" Spike said happily and blushingly.
"Oh, Spike" she said happily and she gave him a hug. Then, Twilight went back to the princesses and asked what the game plan was.
"So, what's the plan?" she asked. She then noticed Celestia was gone.
"My sister is going to get Cadence and Shining Armor" Luna said, "She shalln't be long." Twilight was excited, but she held it in.
About 30 minutes have passed and Celestia came back with Cadence, Shining Armor, and Flurry Heart.
Everypony was happy to see them, especially Twilight. Shining Armor and Twilight engaged in a hug and he gave her a noogie.
Twilight hugged Flurry Heart, playing with her for a bit. Then, Cadence and Twilight hugged for a bit.
"It's so glad to see you guys again" Twilight said excited. "We had to come as soon as Celestia told us the situation" Cadence said.
"Yeah, and I happened to here how you guys saved Equestria from a flood" Shining Armor said, gesturing mostly to Twilight.
Twilight blushed and he walked over and hugged her. She hugged back even harder back. Then, a tremor was heard.
Shining Armor and Twilight stepped back from each other. "Whoa, excuse me" Pinkie said. "I don't think that was you, Pinkie" Applejack replied.
The ground then cracked between Shining Armor, the princesses, Starlight and the Friendship Express, and Twilight and the Mane 6. "What was that" Rarity asked.
"I don't know, but it probably has to do with the continental drift" Twilight replied.
"Twilie, stay there and we'll walk towards toward each other, slowly" Shining Armor said. They slowly walked towards each other.
Then, the crack gave way and widened. Twilight's side became slowly slanted. Pinkie screamed and hugged Applejack in fear.
"Twilight!" Shining Armor shouted. "Shining Armor" Twilight shouted back. Then, the piece Twilight was on slanted and became steep. She quickly ran up it.
"C'mon, quickly!" Starlight shouted. Twilight was about to jump, but Rainbow knocked her to the side. "Twilight!" Rainbow said before knocking her.
"Rainbow!" Twilight said to her angry. "You never would've made it!" Rainbow replied.
Then, a chunk of ground fell off into the chasm, and water started filling in from the ocean at the bottom of it. More pieces of ground started falling and cracking.
Twilight and Shining Armor locked eyes, but only for a moment. The piece that Twilight and the Mane 7 were on fell even more.
Twilight looked at Manehattan and then, the Friendship Express. "Quickly, get the rest of the ponies to the sanctuaries" Twilight shouted.
"No, Twilight, no!" Cadence said in fear. "I'll meet you there!" Twilight said before the piece she was on fell down.
Applejack slid down, but she grabbed onto a rock. Spike grabbed onto a tree stump, and soon caught Rarity.
Rainbow flew up and out of the way, while Fluttershy grabbed onto a dead tree. Pinkie, on the other hand, got flipped into the air.
She screamed in terror, but she soon grabbed onto a tree. She looked at the destruction behind her and screamed.
The cliff side gave way, pieces colliding into each other and smashing. "Twilight! No!" Celestia shouted.
"Guys, you have to get out of here. Go! Go, now! You're the only hope of saving everypony" Twilight shouted back.
Then, their piece completely submerged under the water. The current from it caused her to get dragged down with it. She tried to swim up, but she couldn't.
Then, something hit her from underneath and she was resurfaced. It was a piece of land that acted like a boat.
Everypony else happened to be on it as well, wet and cold from the water. Pinkie slid down the tree and landed on her flank.
The princesses, Shining Armor, and Starlight watched in horror. Then, pieces fell off their side. "Get back, get back!" Luna said.
Twilight got up and watch as another piece of the cliff fell down and crashed into the water.
Then, Twilight looked up to see two pieces collide into each other, smashing into rubble.
What was left came crashing down and landed into the water in front of their boat.
The wave produced by it caused them to be pushed out to sea, far enough for the to get caught in a current.
Starlight tried to hold back her tears, so did Princess Celestia. "Twilight!" Cadence shouted. Twilight watched as the rest of the cliff side collapsed.
"Stay alive! No matter how long it take, I will return" Twilight shouted back.
Shining Armor took one last look at Twilight's boat before he focused on the task at hand.
"Alright, you heard Twilight! Gather everypony and we'll head for Manehattan and then, the Crystal Empire, a.s.a.p.!" Shining Armor said and everypony agreed and began to do so.
In the distance, the mega crack began to move towards them.
Twilight wanted to fly back, but she knew she couldn't abandon her friends. Rainbow had the same urge.
"Quick, help me turn this thing around" she said, and she grabbed a log and started rowing. Applejack used her hoof and Rainbow used her wing.
Pinkie used both her arms, but Fluttershy used just a stick. Rarity didn't want to get her hooves wet, but Spike used his claw and tail. But, it was no use.
They kept on moving out to sea. "They need me, we need to get back!" Twilight said. "Twi, this thing's to big to turn. The current's pulling us out" Applejack said.
Twilight grew sad, and Spike came over and comforted her. "You know, my Mom always told me that good news was just bad news in disguise" Pinkie said.
"Was this before you saw my sonic rainboom?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"Yes, it was. But, the point being, that after I saw it, there's happiness and a rainbow around every corner" Pinkie said.
Then, the wind picked up and there was a thundering behind them. "And nothing but smooth sailing ahead!" Pinkie shouted over the wind.
Twilight looked back, and so did everypony else. "Smooth sailing, Pinkie!?" Twilight said. The current was carrying their boat into a hurricane.
They held on to the boat as the waves got bigger.
