Lance was in the forest by the beach checking his sword. After falling from the bridge, The villains swam to the nearest shore. While Lance got out first, Reva and Mortar worked on getting dried off while having a grown up talk. Reva was still steamed at Lance for snapping at her earlier. Lance stormed off to be alone. Reva needed to be away from him as well.
The Rainbooms, Team Shine, Starlight, and Chet were in the area when they spotted Lance.
"It's that boy from the villains." Gamer whispered.
"If we get the jump on him, we can get some answers." Sunset suggested.
"I'll go." Chet volunteered as he drew his sword.
Chet snuck around and neared Lance. Before he could strike however, Lance pointed his sword at the Gecko.
"You're quick. I'll give you that." Lance commented.
"So are you. But I'm resourceful!" Chet quickly used his tail to disarm Lance. As the group gathered, Lance held his hands up, showing he surrendered.
"You got me. What do you want from me?"
"We want answers. Why are you people after us?" Rainbow demanded.
"Other than after my necklace!" Rarity added.
"Um Does anyone realize we never asked his name?" Fluttershy pointed out.
"My name is Lance. I will answer your question if you spare me."
Chet looked to Shine Boy who nodded to put his sword away while giving Lance his blade back.
"Thank you." Lance sheathed his sword to show he'll cooperate. "The reason my aunt and uncle is after your necklace is because with it we can use it to go home. You are familiar with Equestria?"
Everyone gasped. "You're from Equestria?" Sunset asked.
"My Aunt Reva told me she and Uncle Mortar were betrayed by someone who had plans to conquer the land."
"Who?" Starlight asked.
"She refuses to say who. All I know is that because of them, Princess Celestia, along with this Guardian, used the Elements of Harmony to banish us all from Equestria. I was only a filly when we were banished. While we don't know the whereabouts of the traitor, we were banished on this island where we learned about the guardian and been looking for the necklace since."
"That's terrible." Fluttershy said.
"Take me with you."
"What?" everyone was shocked.
"I want to find the guardian with you and help you get home. I personally want to go home, but my aunt and uncle are bent on revenge."
"How do we know this isn't a trick?" Gamer glared.
"I'm telling the truth!"
"I know how to find out." Sunset said as she grabbed Lance's hand, reading his mind with her geode powers. It was just as Lance explained it how they were banished from Equestria and everything.
"Well?" Shine Boy asked as Sunset regained conscious.
"It's true." She gasped. "He really is telling the truth."
They soon heard Reva screaming after tripping from Rutter.
"Please! my aunt and uncle will be coming any moment!"
"I believe him." Shine Boy stated.
"So do I" Chet agreed.
"Then we're all agreed?" Sunset asked and everyone agrees. "Then let's go!" And they all hurried, Lance included.

Meanwhile, Reva walks up, still wet.
"That's the last time I let Rutter and Gutter hang ten" she snorted. "Lance! Lance?"
Reva looked around realizing Lance's footprints and a few more prints. Mortar showed up with Rutter and Gutter.
"What happened?" Mortar asked.
"Lance is gone! And I think I know what happened." Reva gritted as she turned to Rutter and Gutter. "Find them! Find Lance!"
"Yes Boss!"
"Leaving!"
Reva's angered face turned to sorrow. "We have to find him, Mortar. He's the only family we have!"
"We will, my love. we will" Mortar glared at the sight.
