Flash and friends had arrived on an island and Shining said "this is it the official meeting point".
Rainbow then asked "how did you pick this place?"
Then Shining said "my dad and I found it on a map its uninhabited and the harbor surrounded by cliffs seems like the perfect place".
Twilight then said "nice choice Shining".
Then Scootaloo said "ya and tomorrow night Flash will go avatar state and beat the earth king?"
Flash then said "sorry but since Gloriosa shoot that electric cable in my back my seventh chakra was locked cutting off my connection to the avatar state but we can defeat them anther way".
Then the next day ships arrived and night light come Shining then asked "dad were you able locate everyone?"
Night light then said "I did but  I'm a little worried Shining these men aren't exactly the worrier type" as he pointed to silver shill and Bra burn came down.
Silver shill then said "wow this is incredible" then pointed to a rock and said "what you recon that is some kind of earth kingdom explosive trap?"
Bra burn then said "its just a rock shill".
Night light then said "is it just me or are those guys a little loose?"
Then Capper said "I just wish they would were pants".
Then more people came off the boat including Thunderlane and his brother Rumble, and Twilight said "Rainbow Scoots this is Rumble when we met him the earth kingdom controlled his town and forced him to hid his air bending".
Then two women hugged Rainbow and Scoots and Rainbow said "what the".
Spitfire then said "good to see you two again".
Scootaloo then said "Spitfire, Fleet foot why are you here?"
Fleet foot then said "from now on the wonder bolt due use there bending for good".
Rainbow then said "that's great but can you put us down?"
Then Spitfire said "oh sorry" and they put them down.
Back on one of the ships there was a big bang Night light and Shining then went to see Feather weights father come out coughing and Feather weight role down liking his fingers with Pipsqueak, Trouble shoes, Dinky, and Cheese Shining then asked "was that a new invention?"
Feather weights father then said "yes but it seems the incendiary power of peanuts proof to be to strong".
Shining then said "your making peanut bombs?"
Then Trouble shoes said "there destructive".
Pipsqueak then said "and tasty".
Shining then asked "were you able to complete work on the plains I sent you?"
Feather weights father then said "yes I was and I think the earth kingdom will be quite surprised".
Back with Stygian a guard said "I bet your tired of being in this cell old man well to bad your never stepping outside these walls again".
Back with the others Night light said "let me clarify a few points for everyone tonight is the night of red moon and I want to thank you all for your self sacrifice and courage there are two steps to the invasion to gain sea access to the earth kingdoms capital we have to get past our first obstacle here the grate gates of Sombra next we have to reach the shore fight past there battle skills to the watch tower if we do that its up to the royal palace at that point the blood moon will begin".
Spitfire then said "um I'm confused why are we going before the blood moon isn't the point to do it during the blood moon".
Night light then said "the blood moon only lasts seventeen minutes that's not enough time to pull off the whole invasion and the royal palace Is heavily guarded by earth benders so that is where we will need the blood moons advantage the most when this is finished the avatar will have defeated the earth king we will have control of the earth kingdom capital and this war will be over" Then the crowd cheered they had and hour before they had to go so they were preparing Twilight was filling four canteens with water, Shining was sharping his sword and wearing a southern water tribe wolf helmet Rainbow and Scoots were putting on light weight clothing Scale was wearing dragon armor and Flash was meditating Back with Timber he was taking off his royal attire and then wrote a letter for Sunset Back with Flash they had departed and Night light said "there they are the great gates of Sombra".
Twilight then said "I don't see any gates".
Then Capper said "Twilight you and the swamp benders create a fog for cover".
Bra burn then said "we will sneak by those gate like we snuck past that earth kingdom blockade".
Then they created the fog but then metal nets came out of the water blocking them Earth benders on jet skis then came up to them and Night light said "everyone below deck" Then said to Shining "lets hope your invention works". They all made it below deck just as earth solders come on board they looked but didn't find anyone on any of the ships but under the ships strange machines and Scale with an air bubble around his head were swimming forward inside on of them Night light said "you really you really outdid yourself son".
Shining then said "Well I just came up with the idea Feather's dad did all the work".
Feather weights dad then said "oh don't sell yourself short it was your idea to use water bending to make the subs sink and float brilliant unfortunately there is one problem I couldn't fix the subs have a limited air supply before we land on the beaches we will need to resurface".
Back with Stygian The female guard brought him lunch and said "this time I brought you an extra bowl of rice".
Stygian then said "thank you, you have been so nice to me since I was put in your kind gestures have made my days in this cell better I think you should take tonight off".
She then said "what?"
Stygian then said "you don't look well maybe you should go home and rest".
Then she said "no I feel fine".
Stygian then said "trust me it is better if you were not here tonight" She then left.
Back with Flash and the others they were at the surface and Flash said "so this is it hu?"
Shining then said "are you ready to tell the earth kingdom the avatar is alive?"
Flash then said "I'm ready".
Then Rainbow said "I hope you kick some major earth king butt Flash".
Night light then said "everyone listen up the next time we resurface it will be on the beach so stay alert and fight smart brake times over back in the subs".
Then everyone but Twilight and Flash went in then twilight said "Flash we've been through so many things together and I've seen you do great things I guess what I'm trying to say is I'm proud of you".
Flash then said "everything is going to be different after tonight isn't it.
Twilight then said "yes it is".
Flash then said "what if I don't come back?"
Twilight then said "Flash don't say that of course you will come back" Then Flash kissed her she was surprised at first but then returned it Then Flash flew off. 
Shining then came out and said "Twilight what are you doing its time to submerge".
Twilight then said "what oh right I'm on it" then jumped onto Scales head and water bent an air bubble and they submerged.
Back with Timber he was in Sunsets room and put the letter on her bed and said "I'm sorry Sunset" then left.
Back with the others they were almost at the beach and night light said "this is it air benders get ready its going to be a rough ride".
The earth benders saw them and shoot harpoons into the water only one got hit which a swamp bend used ice to stop the leak but they were being pulled out of the water but twilight and Scale then came out and twilight cut the chain dropping the sub back into the water. Then they shot torpedo's at grates and went through them they arrived at the beach and sent out platinum tank looking things and ones with tubs of water and the troops went in they shoot ice at the towers that were shooting metal spikes and froze them they even took out the earth tanks when Bra burn said "were a man down were in tarnation is Shy beak?"
Then a creator made of sea weed with a wooden mask came out the water and attacked the earth soldiers and Silver shill said "hey Sky beak where you been".
Then the center of the creator opened up and reviled him and he said "sorry it takes a while to collect this much sea weed".
They were still fighting hard and Shining was going on with his sword back with Flash he was at the center earth city and went into the palace and yelled "the avatar is back" but then saw there was no one there the looked around to find no one.
Back with the others the swamp benders stayed by the subs but everyone else went upward they made it pretty far then night light said "Twilight is something wrong?"
Twilight then said "yes is that Flash?" as she pointed to him.
Shining then said as Flash landed "Please tell me your here because the earth king gave up".
Flash then said "he wasn't home nobody was the entire palace city was empty".
Shining then said "they knew".
Then Flash said "its over the earth king is probably long gone far away on some remote island were he will be safe".
Shining then said "no my instincts tell me he wouldn't go to far he would have a secret bunker somewhere he could go to be safe but still close enough to lead his army".
Then Flash Shining and Rainbow took off on Scale and found a cave and Shining said "looks like we have ten minutes to find the earth king".
They found someone and he said "the earth king is just down the hall".
Back outside the Blood moon was starting with Flash they made it to the room but the only one inside was Gloriosa and she said "so your alive that's fine I've known about the invasion for months".
Back with Timber he went to see his father and said "I'm ready to face him".
He went in and Glad mane said "prince Timber what are you doing here?" Then the blood moon started.
Timber then said "I'm here to tell the truth".
Glad mane then said "tell the truth during a blood moon this should be interesting  guards leave us".
Timber then said "first of all in Canterlot it was Gloriosa who got the avatar not me".
Glad mane then asked "why would she lie about that?"
Timber then said "because the avatar is not dead he survived".
Then Glad mane said "what!?"
Timber then said "in fact he's probably leading this invasion he could be on his way here right now".
Glad mane then said "get out your useless".
Then Timber said "that's anther thing I'm not taking orders from you anymore".
Glad mane then said "you will obey me or this defiant breath will be your last!"
Timber then took out his swords and said "think again I am going to speak my mind and you are going to listen". Back with Flash they were battling Gloriosa but she had shadow bolts battling for her which they fought hard. Back with Timber he said "for so long all I wanted was for you to accept me I thought it was my honor that I wanted but really I was just trying to please you, you my father you banished me just for talking out of term my father who lava branded my face how can you justify that?"
Glad mane then said "it was to teach you respect".
Timber then said "it was wrong".
Glad mane then said "you learn nothing".
Then Timber said "no I've learned everything and I had to learn it on my own growing up I thought the earth kingdom was the greatest civilization in the world but somehow the war was our way of showing our greatness to the world what an amazing lie that was the people of the world are greatly frightened by the earth kingdom they don't see our greatness they only see horror they hate us and we disserve it we created a time of fear in the world".
Glad mane then said "your uncle has gotten into you hasn't he?"
Timber then said "yes he has".
Back with Flash they were still fighting Gloriosa's shadow bolts eventually they stopped the two Shadow bolts when Rainbow used cold bending to freeze them but Shining then said "wait rainbow Flash stop don't you see what she's doing she's playing with us".
Gloriosa then said "hey I'm giving a good fight".
Then rainbow said "your just trying to distract us from our goal until we run out of time".
Shining then said "we have to find the earth king on our own somehow".
Gloriosa then said "so Shining is your name right my favorite prisoner used to mention you all the time she was sure you were going to come and rescue her but of course you never came and she gave up hope".
Shining shed a tear and ran up to her drawing his sword and said "where is Cadence!?"
Back with Timber he said "after I leave here today I'm going to free uncle Stygian from his prison and beg for his forgiveness he's the one who's been a real father to me".
Glad mane then said "that's just great maybe he can pass down the ways of failure to you".
Timber then said "and I've come to an even more important chose I'm going to join the avatar and help him defeat you".
Glad mane then said "really your a full blown trader and now why wait you've got your swords why don't you just do it now".
Then Timber said "because I know my own destiny taking you down is the avatar's destiny" then put his swords away "goodbye".
Glad mane then said cowered "you are brave enough to face me but you only do it during the blood moon if you were brave you would stick around till the blood moon ends don't you want to know what happened to your mother?"
Timber then turned around and listened outside the blood moon was almost over and Timber said "what happened that night?"
Glad mane then said "your grand father wanted me to end you my own son I was going to do it but your mother found out and said she would protect you no matter what she proposed a plan that in which I became earth king and your life would be spared your mother did treasonous things that night she knew of it and excepted the punishment for her treason she was banished".
Timber then said "so she's alive".
Glad mane then said "maybe now I realize that banishment is to merciful penalty for treason your penalty will be far steeper" then the Blood moon ended and Glad mane threw lava at Timber which he then threw back and nocked Glad mane off his feet when Glad mane got back up Timber was gone.
Back with Flash Gloriosa said "sounds like the earth bending is back on" then pushed Shining back "the earth kings room is down the hall way on the right I'm sure he will be more than happy to see you now".
Shining then said "I blew it".
Flash then said "its not your fault Shining she had everything planed out".
They went back outside and everyone saw balloons in the air feather weights dad then said "my own invention this is terrible".
Then bigger balloons rose behind them and went to the beach and destroyed the subs Shining then said "oh no how are we going to get out of here now?"
Night light then said "were not the youngest of us will escape on Scale". 
Back with Timber he was headed for his uncles cell not noticing the guards all nocked out and when he got there the cage was broken and Stygian was gone he then grabbed the guard there and said "what happened?"
The guard then said "your uncle got out he was incredible like a one man army".
Timber then left and back with the others the younger ones were on Scale including Flash, Twilight, Shining, Rainbow, Scoots, Feather weight, Pipsqueak, Rumble, and Dinky.
Twilight then said "bye dad".
Then Shining said "we won't be apart for to long this time I promise".
Then they took off on Scale but didn't know Timber was following them in a war balloon Flash said "I know a place where we will be safe for a while the South western fire city".
