After going through many tasks such as getting the baby monkeys to safety from the storm and adventuring in the factories inside the Colossal Canopy along with fighting one of Vex's Minions who was tough, Sackboy, the Equestrians, the heroes of Bunkum, Clive, and Newton have arrived at their destination. With Mama Monkey waiting, she was pretty disappointed about Vex, knowing he's already onto the bananas. Sackboy also got a new power-up which is a boomerang that actually flies back to him, as it's useful to destroy spines and fend off enemies.
"Cursed that rotten Vex!" Mama Monkey said, noticing the group arriving, "And he's after me Larkey! He sends a spanner sticker-linner to wreck out our banana factory busino!"
"Don't worry about that Mama Monkey!" Rainbow said, "When we secure your bananas, once we'll give that jester a big time!"
"Of Vex critters stealing our nanas." Mama Monkey sighed, as she worried about her bananas, "What are we going to do."
"We helped you gather the baby monkeys back to safety, investigation the factories, and did a sliding a jing!" Pinkie said, who's ready up to face the jester, with Sackboy and his friends telling her, they'll do it to stop Vex."We're prepared to stop Vex, Mama Monkey!
"You're all brave heroes, Sackboy and Twilight!" Mama Monkey said as she's happy they'll stop Vex from stealing her bananas, as she goes to the other side and sits down, "When this is over, you can all the nanas you want."
"As long if you provide Apples, Mama Monkey" Applejack smirked, since she hopes for Mama Monkey.
"Well, off you all go! Stop that retchet Vex from stealing all the Nanas, and stay strong as a team!"
"We'll take care of them Mama Monkey, but can I ask you one thing?" Twilight asked Mama Monkey, "Will you help us aid our team to stop Vex and the Storm King?"
"I'm sorry Twilight... But I must stay in the Colossal Canopy to keep an eye out from strangers and protect my monkeys around here." Mama Monkey answered as it disappointed Twilited a little bit. "But, I believe you, Sackboy, and your friends are here together as a team to stop the Storm King and that rotten Vex."
"Well... Thank you for your honesty." Twilight said, before looking back to her friends, as she and Sackboy ran to reach to Vex. "Come on! We have a jester to deal with!"
As Sackboy, the Equestrians, Bunkum's heroes, Newton, and Clive enter through the door after waving at Mama Monkey, they entered through the vault of the Bananas, running to catch up as Vex was already wrapping up his second quest. All the while, Vex was using his Vaccum arm to collect enough bananas and as he wraps ups, he sees Sackboy, the Equestrians, and their friends, resulting in mocking them for ruining the fun.
"Oh, there they come!" Vex mocked, as he sees Sackboy, the Equestrians, and their friends, "Craftworld and Equestria's biggest spoiled sports! Why are you all ruining everyone's fun!"
"More like violenting somepony's property!" Rainbow and Applejack exclaimed.
"And stealing somepony's tasty beverages of food resources!" Rarity yelled.
"Well, I'm done! Boredom will be banished!" Ves said, as he lands and tells them about the Uproar coming, "The power of Nightmares... Unleashed!"
As all the bananas go through the vortex, Vex snapped his fingers to show them through the vortex of the progress of his Topsy Tuvor, one where it's half-complete and shows the Ponies (Limestone Pie, Marble Pie, Coco Pommel, Bab Seeds, Mr. Waddle, Cheerilee, Nurse Redheart, Twinkleshine, Big Mac, Starlight Glimmer, and Trixie) and Curators (The Collector, Mrs. Sunshine, Ray the Wonder Turtle, Venus the Flytrap, Papal Mache, Otis, and The Queen) working hard to sort all the bananas in overworking tight schedule, with three ponies (Moondaner, Cloud Chaser, and Coloratura) and three sackings running through a jogging machine to speed up the banana process for the ones who are sorting it.
"Just look how much fun they're having. Working together for a new glorious future!" Vex said as the vortex closes off the scene but not the vortex itself, "And you want to take that away from your friends?"
"As if, you're overworking them to get this big machine of you're you, big meanie!" Pinkie yelled at Vex,
"tut, tut, tut..." Vex nodded and mocks them for sure, "Shame on all of you, especially the Princess who outsmarted me during our first battle..."
"It's round two you jester freak!" Rainbow said, "Time to see what you got on your sleeves!"
"Oh... I'm not battling you all just yet until we meet again. So I'll just leave you all with another taste of the Uproar" Vex said as he walks behind the Vortex to leave as he wrapped up his second quest, "And how it bends all creatures to my will."
With that, Vex's vortex closes, and the first thing Sackboy and the Equestrians noticed and looked at their surroundings was something big was crawling/digging underground, as this is one of Vex's tastes of the Uproar, one where they're going to deal with. The creature then rises upon, shocking Sackboy, the Equestrians, and their friends, as this big creature was sprouting to look like a centipede but was big with green/cyan spots around its body, and its forehead had a Neon lime "V" logo relating to Vex. This was the Vexed Mamapede, one of Vex's creations of the Uproar to deal with the heroes.
As the Vexed Mamapede looked down, he roared at Sackboy and the Equestrians, as it was ready to prey upon for a battle. But as the heroes got up, the Vexed Mamapede then goes down, preparing for a big battle against the Vexed Mamapede.
== Two Hours Later...==
After a wild defeat of the Vexed Mamapede as it goes down underground, now in a fit of defeat, Pinkie digs a group hug with her friends, with Twilight and Sackboy looking down under the cracks of the surface, hoping that the Vexed Mamapede doesn't return for a round 2.
"Woo HOO!" Pinkie cheered, "We did it!"
"Talk about one big Centipede." Rainbow said, "That'll show Vex to not mess with somepony!"
"Let's hope that monster doesn't come back..." Fluttershy said as she shuttered about the Vexed Mamapede.
As Sackboy opened Vex's scroll and Twlight looked in to see where Vex is off to next, the two had a sense that a certain sackfello would be watching them. But to their surprise, as they looked behind, it was Scarlet. The rest were wondering to see how did Scarlet appear if they didn't see her around their surroundings.
"Scarlet! You sneaky little..." Twlight smiled and smirked to see her "Me and Sackboy knew you would be watching us."
"Told you I'll be keeping an eye on you and Sackboy, Twilight." Scarlet said, "And I have to say, I was right. You and Sackboy have tons of potential. Even Vex and Tempest can see that."
"Since when did you appear?" Rarity questioned, "I hope she isn't like Pinkie Pie where she appears everywhere."
Ignoring Rarity's comment, Scralent asked Sackboy and Twlight where they were heading next.
"So, where do you think Vex's haunting now?" Scarlet asked.
Sackboy shows Scarlet with Vex's Scroll revealing an aquatic location and Twlight looked surprised that Crablantis is close to Mount Aris. Scarlet inspected and knew where Vex is heading to.
"Ah, Seaquestria and the Kingdom of Crablantis, deep beneath the waves and close to Mount Aris." Scarlet said as she was walking to see the sky. "Don't let me stop you all. There's an airship you all need to get in before it leaves as it already collected enough Bananas."
"Well, we gotta hurry!" Rainbow said, "Onto the airship before it sails to the skies!"
Hearing Rainbow's words, everyone followed Rainbow to head to the Airship as it was about to leave and Scarlet was thinking about monkeys and bananas.
"Now, where are those monkeys," Scarlet said, "I could really go for a banana right now.
Getting out from the forest of the Colossal Canopy, Sackboy, the Equestrians, Bunkum's Heroes, Clive, and Newton sees an airship and it was about to fly away. Realizing they all won't make it, Twilight used her magic to teleport the group to the Airship.
Then a rope lopped around them and was pulled with the others who were hiding. Spike singles them to be quiet and points out.
Then a silhouette shadow of 2 bird-like creatures appeared.
"Did you hear something?" Asked one.
The 2nd one responded with a squawk.
"Eh, probably just the rats. If we find 'em we'll eat 'em."
"Rats?" Rarity said panicked.
Back to Tempest's ship, Tempest and Grubber were still on the hunt for Twlight, and their friends as they were slowly approaching the Colossal Canopy. Just then, Vex appeared as he appears out of the Vortex.
"So... did your little caterpillar manage to get the princess?" Tempest said coldly. "It seems you haven't gotten her yet."
"Well... it seems like my little caterpillar has failed to defeat them from my senses, but not to worry, Tempest." Vex said, "I'm sure Sackboy and his little ponies could stumble across some pirate ship we could ambush."
Tempest looked at Vex and wondered what he meant, but seemed that he was sensing Sackboy and Twilight's destination.
Meanwhile unaware that Rarity's fashion skills have brought them some time. The 7 friends, 5 knitted heroes, a light bulb, and a notepad are still hiding from the ship's crew. Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Clive, and Newton peeked out for a look, and they saw a bird carrying a crate as another appeared and burped and scratches his rear, which disgusted Rainbow.
"Whadaya think, Twilight?" Applejack asked who was looking at the map. "Should we just... ask 'em to take us?"
Twilight lowers her map and faces them.
"Last time we trusted somepony, he tried to sell us!" Twilight whispered.
Then they were in trouble when the crate hiding them was lifted.
"Hey, guys! come check this out!" Said the parrot revealing them named Boyle.
Then another member named Mullet appeared. Looks like a pack of stowaways.
Then another member Lix Spittle appeared. "What are we s'posed to do with them?"
Then Squabble appeared.
"I think we tie'em up!"
Applejack and Big Toggle gasped.
"Na, we clip their wings Lix." Spittle suggested.
Rainbow and Newton rear back.
"Nah. We scar 'em." Mullet suggested.
Rarity and Swoop yelps.
"Emotionally and sockly!"
Fluttershy cried with Oddsock growling at the parrots.
Then Mullet had a better idea. "Wai-wai-wai-wait. What say the book, Captain Celaeno?"
Then Captain Celaeno appeared with a rule book. "Vex's rule book says, Throw them overboard and turn the Princess in for the Storm King."
The 14 panicked. And Mullet pulls a rope and a plank is brought out. And it was a 5-mile drop before hitting the ground, then Celaeno reaches to grab them. But just before she did, almost as if they were saved by time. A whistle blew.
"All Right! That's Lunch!" She yelled.
A type of birdseed pudding was dropped into a tray in front of Twilight and Sackboy.
"What?" She was confused about what happened with Sackboy looking grim at the birdseed pudding.
The parrot crew and her friends are now in a cable eating, well Applejack was the only one eating. But Rainbow Dash and Newton were the most stunned and confused.
"Whoa whoa whoa! So you were about to toss us overboard and you stopped for a lunch break?" She said.
"And trying to turn us over to Vex and the Storm King?" Newton said.
Twilight leans in and gives Rainbow and Newton a look not to encourage them.
"Storm King and Vex only allow one break a day for meals, then it's back to hauling goods," Boyle said.
"So you're delivery guys?" Spike questioned.
"And bring in many crates to different factories?" Clive asked.
"And gals." Celaeno said. "These uniforms aren't exactly doing us any favors."
"Then can you deliver us to Mount Aris?" Twilight asked bringing out her map, with Sackboy pointing at Mount Aris.
"Sorry. We do what the Storm King or Vex orders or we suffer their wrath and get sent to the Uproar."
"Right." Twilight said disappointed. "Still going overboard."
"Eh, it's nothing personal." Lix Spittle said. Pudding?
There's pudding?" Rarity asked excitedly. But dies when another try of birdseed pudding appeared but tries to give it to Big Toggle. "Eh... Big Toggle, would you like some Pudding?"
Big Toggle nodded happily and decides to munch over the pudding.
"You weren't always delivering birds, were you?" Rainbow asked. "What about before the Storm King and Vex?"
"Yeah. We use to be much more adventurous." Celaeno said moving a poster and revealing a pirate flag. "Up until the Storm King with that Dastard Vex stop us and being under their commands."
"Ooh! I met that guy in the desert!" Pinkie said.
Rainbow realized what they once were. "Whoa! You used to be pirates?!"
"Um, we prefer the term swashbuckling treasure hunters." Said Mullet.
"So... pirates."
Squabble squawk.
"You birds have a choice to make." Rainbow Dash said. "You can't let some unicorn with a broken horn with a jester tell you how to live your lives, or..." She removes the poster completely and gestures to the pirate flag.
"Bring back the charm of yourselves as the pirate!" Newton said with encouragement.
"You can be awesome again!" She finished.
"Rainbow Dash, Newton, this is really not a good time for a..." Twilight said.
I know the world can get you down
"-song." Twilight completed, face-hoofing, with Sackboy feeling catchy on Rainbow’s song.
Things don't work out quite the way that you thought
Feelin' like all your best days are done
Your fears and doubts are all you've got
"If you can't beat 'em, join 'em," Newton said as he started beating on his dish and the table with his spoon and hand.
Rainbow: But there's a light
Shining deep inside
Beneath those fears and doubts, so just squash 'em
Then she stomped on a flagon, splashing water onto Twilight, before moving the Storm King and Vex's sigil to reveal a plethora of the crew's past treasure-hunting adventures.
And let it Shiiiine
For all the world to see
That it is time
Yeah, Time To Be Awesome
At this time, the others were joining in with Newton in beating the table and dishes for a rhythm. All but Twilight who had left to try and understand the map better.
Gang: Ah, ah-ah, ah, awesome!
It's time to be so awesome!
Ah, ah-ah, ah, awesome!
It's time to be so awesome! (continues in background)
Celaeno: You've no idea how hard it's been
This dull routine we've been forced to do
Then Newton slid up with a Stetson-style pirate hat, handed it to her, and slid back down the table next to Rainbow, where they both pointed at her. Celaeno just smirked, threw off her bandana, and put the hat on.
Newton: Don't let them rob you of who you are
Both: Be awesome, it's all up to you
Celaeno: I feel the light
Stirring deep inside
It's like a tale still yet to be told
(Background: It's Time To Be Awesome)
Newton, Rainbow, and Celaeno: And now it's time
To break the shackles free
And start livin' like the brave and the bold!
Newton busted open another chest and revealed it to be full of the pirates' gear. Boyle and the others laughed as they reequipped themselves and the singing continued. Soon the crew burst back out onto the deck, fully equipped and the rest of the team shot out after they dressed as pirates themselves.
All: It's Time To Be Awesome!
Let loose, be true, so awesome!
It's Time To Be Awesome!
Go big, be you, so awesome!
Mullet: We used to soar through the clouds in the skies!
Then Mullet swooped through on a rope from the mast and grabbed Rainbow.
Lix: Elaborate schemes we would love to devise!
Lix was helping Twilight and Sackboy with the map for Crablantis and Mount Aris.
Boyle: We rescued our treasure and stored it away!
Boyle busted open another chest, revealing it to be full of gold and jewels. A handful of which Celaeno grabbed and held close.
Celaeno: Saving those gemstones for a rainy day!
All: We see that light
Filling up our skies
Then she jumped out onto the bowsprit and Newton and Rainbow followed her. Newton grabbed the Storm King's rulebook on it and threw it off the ship.
Newton: So take the Storm King's orders and toss 'em
All: Cause it's the time to let our colors fly!
Celaeno: Hey scallywags, it's Time To Be Awesome!
Clive: "Dance Break!"
Spike and Clive started banging on the crates in rhythm as the others took dance poses across the ship.
All: Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
"Cmon!" yelled Celaeno as she took the helm. "Let's show these little ponies and creative knitted heroes how it's done!"
The crew hauled on a group of cables and the front of the balloon opened up to reveal a bright festoon of feather-like sails, which the team stared at in awe.
"Awesome!" said Rainbow. "I knew you had it in ya! And now for the finishing touch!" Then she flew up.
"Oh, I gotta get in on this!" said Newton as he ran up the main cable to the balloon, jumped with Rainbow, and rode on her back by bringing in fireworks gadgets to pull off a beautiful Rainboom show.
"Rainboom! Rainboom! Rainboom!" chanted Pinkie, with Big Toggle cheering on. Twilight caught on to what was about to happen and was instantly terrified.
"No, no, no, no, no! No!" she said, but it was too late as Rainbow and Newton had already begun their descent, with Rainbow gaining more and more speed.
"RAINBOW FIREWORKS FOR THE FINISH LINE!" Newton yelled, lighting up the fireworks out of his hand while riding Rainbow, just before she broke the sound barrier and created a huge sparkling ring of colors and a rainbow-colored trail that Newton started grinding on, with the light-bulb shooting fireworks around the Rainboom to finish off the final touch.
"AW YEAH!" Rainbow yelled and the two started laughing as they circled the ship, surrounding it in color.
"Wow!" said Celaeno in awe. Twilight groaned in angst as she face-hoofed, worried that both Newton and Rainbow accidentally got their position. Several leagues away, Grubber, Tempest, and Vex had unfortunately seen the Rainboom and the enormous amount of color with amounts of Fireworks.
