"Ok, FlameStar." Tempest said. "This is where you get off. Mount Aris is directly below."
"Um... don't I get a--" FlameStar was cut off as the floor dropped from under him and he was free falling down to the ocean!
"OH FOR CELESTIA'S SAKE!!!" FlameStar screamed at the top of his lungs. He then remembered a trick Starlight taught him. A trick to let him fly. "The more you try, the more you fly... and that's what really counts!" FlameStar's horn glowed and caught him just in time! He slowly descended into the barren mountain.
"Ok so i need to go underwater..." FlameStar said. "The Hippogriffs probably took cover in the ocean." FlameStar found his way to Basalt Beach and jumped into the ocean. "Ok... Deep breaths... you can do this." He inhaled as much as he could and dove under the sea. He saw a lot of unique things.
"Ok... now to find Seaquestria before you drown, FlameStar..." he thought. He swam on for a good 3 minutes. During his travels, FlameStar learned to have dazzling lung capacity. Eventually, he needed to breathe or he'd drown. There wasn't any air bubbles, or Rainbow Lasers to save him. He was also too far from the surface to swim fast enough. FlameStar began to panic! Without any air, all he could do was struggle to stay alive but to no avail... FlameStar drowned shortly afterward. He knew he had 5 minutes before he would die. Without warning, a creature gave him a bubble to breathe in. FlameStar inhaled sharply until he calmed down his breathing.
"Who... what?" FlameStar said, confused.
"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't pop that bubble and let you die." A sea pony said.
"Equestria is under attack by Lord Tirek, Queen Chrysalis and Cozy Glow! I need the Hippogriffs help! You are a Hippogriff right? Princess Twilight told me about--" FlameStar was cut off when the Sea pony lead him to Seaquestria. The sea pony then stared deeply into FlameStar's eyes.
"Do you trust me?" The Seapony asked. FlameStar nodded. "Ok... I need you to pop your bubble."
"What?!" FlameStar screamed. "We're nowhere near the surface! My muscles will give out before I make it! I'll drown!"
"No you won't! Trust me. Pop your bubble and I'll make sure you won't drown." FlameStar raised his hoof to his bubble. In a swift strike, he popped it. The sea pony quickly grabbed his hoof and turned him into a sea pony!
"Woah! This is so cool!"
"Did you need protection from someone?"
"I came cause I need help!" FlameStar cried.
"From who?"
Meanwhile, Tirek and Chrysalis arrived at Mount Aris and found Cozy Glow panting.
"Whatever happened to you?" Tirek asked.
"I don't wanna talk about it!" Cozy answered.
"Its Alright though..." Chrysalis said smugly. "Those Hippogriffs don't know about us very well."
"They probably do which is why they're underwater." Tirek responded. "You however can change into a Sea Pony and chase them."
"I've got a better idea. Take my hooves." Tirek and Cozy Glow exchanged stumped looks. Chrysalis sighed in frustration. "So you can change as well..." Tirek and Cozy took Chrysalis' hooves then with her horn glowing, she changed into a sea pony along with Cozy and Tirek.
"You look ridiculous, Tirek!" Cozy chuckled. Tirek still had his shape and horns and his hind legs and tail were turned into a fish tail. He did look more dumb than threatening.
"Cozy, if I wanted to laugh, I just need to look at you." Tirek burned. Cozy couldn't say anything and just shut her mouth. Later, the 3 villains arrive at Seaquestria where FlameStar was at. FlameStar was associating with Queen Novo and trying to get her to try and do anything to help him.
"I already said no, hun." Novo said.
"But this is serious!" FlameStar exclaimed.
"I'm sorry about Equestria, I really am. But I need to help my subjects." Novo explained. FlameStar then remembered something that Twilight said.
"Once you arrive in Seaquestria, give Novo this pearl!" FlameStar said quietly. He then pulled out the pearl and gave it to her. "Here." He said. "Twilight told me to give it once I arrive."
"Too bad you won't be able to give it..." Chrysalis said. Tirek and Cozy stood next to her.
"The Villains!" FlameStar exclaimed. "Queen Novo Quick! Turn me back into a pony and back to Basalt Beach!"
"I don't think so..." Cozy yelled. She then swam up and tacked FlameStar!
"Oof!" FlameStar dropped the pearl and Chrysalis swam to it.
"Hmm... very intriguing..." Chrysalis said.
"Guards! Seize them!" Novo ordered. Seapony Guards swam to the Villains ready to arrest them. Tirek fired a warning shot causing the guards to look the other way.
"If you get in the way, This will happen to you!" Tirek roared.
"Must get pearl..." FlameStar groaned. He then punched Cozy off of him and he body checked Chrysalis away from the pearl. The pearl landed near Queen Novo's throne.
"Hang on, My Little Pony!" Novo cried. She then rubbed the pearl and brought FlameStar back to Basalt Beach leaving the villains still under the sea.
"Phew... I'm safe here for now." FlameStar said. He then saw bubbles rising from the water. "I need to get the damn outta here!" His horn glowed and he teleported over to the Forest near Mount Aris. "If I run, I can get to Ponyville and I think I know something that might help me!" FlameStar then began his run back to Equestria and he didn't look back for any reason. As he kept on running, he knew he'd have to go East near The Changeling Kingdom near his old home. He stopped briefly for a rest and he looked at his mark again. He then started to get depressed. "I won't forget... I'll never forgive them for making me feel this way..." FlameStar grumbled. He then winced and chuffed in frustration. FlameStar wasn't happy about his past... he got up and continued his quest back to Equestria.
