New Alicornea,
In a castle-like building at the coast somewhere across the sea from the Alicorn Kingdom, lies the headquarters of the Aerodora Empire. In the headquarters is the Dark council, which consists out of 7 alicorns, one of the is the dark lord of the force; Lord Caecolius.
"Welcome, my friends." Lord Caecolius said after the council came together. "You all wonder why I brought the council together on so sort notice is because there has been something miraculous happened which explains why we felt a disturbance in the force.. Our spies have confirmed that there is a new land been formed out of thin air."
"New land out of thin air? Is that even possible?" One of the council members asked.
"Apperently. But I think that the Lost Continent has returned after 500.000 year." Caecolius said. "Until we found the location of the continent we have to try to go with our dally lives. Understand?"
"Yes my lord." The council said in chorus.
"Good. Now something else that this related to this subject." Caecolius said "I got a message from the so-called 'queen of the Alicorn Kingdom' is coming to talk about something that she and her family have 'felt'."
"And they think that we did it?" Another council member asked.
"Yes but we need to act surprised when she tells us about this new land."
"That will be easy, my lord." The same alicorn said.
"Good. And now, is there something else you guys want to know or talk about?"
"Yes, I want to ask you a question."
"Alright, Isidorus. What is your question?" Caecolius said to Isidorus.
"How far is the training of your apprentice?"
"It's going 'great'. He will be ready soon. And then he will attack the Royal Family and their miserable life. And then we have control over all the alicorns."
"I hope it works, my lord. Otherwise, they will be pissed."
"You worry too much, Isidorus. He is learning from the dark lord of the force." Isidorus
"As you say so, my Isidorus."

Location: In front of Manehatten.
Not long before the alicorn fleet makes contact with captain Dryade. For three days, the ship of Captain Dryade is sitting in front of the new city. Everyone on the ship was on high alert because they can warn the royal family if the inhabitants are hostile. But Captain Drayde knew that they would lose almost immediately if they are attacked by them, so he pray to his god that they are peaceful. He was currently watching the city with a sailor.
"It looks like the Lost Continent from the legend." the alicorn said.
"Yeah, but was the continent not more south according to the legend?" Dryade said.
"I don't know." The same alicorn responded.
"And if the continent returned then, he will return with it." Dryade said. "So I don't think it's the continent."
After a few seconds Dryade looked away to ask one of his crewmembers for something.
"For how long do we have food and other supplies until we have to back to the kingdom?"
"For five days, maybe a week." Said the alicorn, who was in charge of the food supply of the ship.
"We can't stay too long here." Dryade said. "I hope that Prince Nightbreaker is coming towards us with some ships."
Dryade was called back when a guard yelled, there were always two guards on small ships to keep order if there something happened.
"Captain! There is a ship coming." A guard said.
"What... From where?" Dryade asked.
"The city, sir!" Another alicorn said." It's coming right towards us!"
"I want everyone to stay calm!" Dryade yelled.
After a few minutes, the unknown ship came closer and closer, and soon every one of the exploration ships heard something from the other ship.
"This is the Equestrian Coast guard! Identify yourself!"
"sir? What shall we do?" An alicorn asked.
"I don't know." Dryade replied. "I got only orders to stay in front of the city and wait until the prince arrives, not anything about this."
After a few seconds, someone or rather somepony from the ship spoke again. "unidentified ship, identify yourself now!"
"What should we do sir?" The same alicorn said.
"I don't know." Dryade said.
After a few minutes, one of the alicorns looked to the sky because the wind was changing. "Oh no."
The captain notice what the alicorn said.
"What is it, Syra?" Dryade asked the alicorn mare.
"Storm clouds are coming." Syra said. "And it looks like a big storm."
When Syra said that Dryade and a few other alicorns looked in the direction where she was looking.
"We need a harbor. NOW!"
"But sir, we can't avoid the storm and I don't think we can towards the city if we can't understand them and talk to them."
***
On the ship of the Equestrian Coast Guard, the ponies were a bit confused why the other ship did not respond. The ponies did not know what or who controlled this ship, but they will soon find out who controlled it.
The captain of the ship, Thunder Arrow, a male pegasus, was walking towards the side of the ship that was facing the unknown ship.
"How far are we from that ship?"
"less than six hundred meters, sir."
"Captain! You have to look at this." An earth pony said.
"What is it?"
"There are alicorns on the other ship." The earth pony said while looking through a spyglass.
"You sure?" The captain responded. "Could they not be just some artists who are trying to learn for an act."
"Maybe, but it's still strange." The earth pony said.
"well, let's see if they want to talk."
The captain ordered the ship to get closer to the 'artist' ship. But when they got close enough, they can hear them talking.
"Quid faciemus domine?" one of the 'alicorns' said to another.
"Uh, sir?" A unicorn asked the captain.
"Yes?"
"Do you understand them?"
"No." The captain said. "But maybe they are just practicing with a new language for their play."
"Probably."
"Uh, captain. I think we have a problem." Another unicorn said.
"And that is?"
"Dark clouds are coming from the southeast."
"Rain clouds?" The captain said.
"Probably."
"The weather has been really acting strange lately."
"Oh, and there are four ships coming from the east."
"What." said the captain. "Go back to the city Now!"
"Yes sir." Everypony responded

Meanwhile, at the Royal Task Force 4.
The fleet contains 4 ships; 3 small warships, and one Royal Corvette. The prince of the Alicorn Kindom, Prince Nightbreaker, was sailing with the fleet towards the location of Captain Dryade and his crew. However, he was not the only one that was going toward Captain Dryade, there is one more guest with them and that was the 'future princess; Valerie, (A mare with a rosy brown-colored coat and sea-green eyes, and her mane and tail were tan-colored.) who was currently hanging with her head over the bulwark of the ship.
Blech!
"Are you alright, Valerie?" A voice said from behind her.
"Yes, I now remember why I hate long boat trips..." said Valerie and turned towards the source of the voice. "Can't we use the engines of the ship?"
"You know that we use the engine only when the weather is terrible or the wind is gone or coming from the wrong side because we don't have enough coal and storage for it." Nightbreaker said while walking towards her.
"Yes, I know." She said. "But this, why can you or your sister order to develop a ship that has enough storage for coal."
"You have to tell my sister personally about that." Nightbreaker said.
"I know." Valerie responded. "How long until we get there?"
"I don't know. I will ask the captain, alright?"
"Yes, then I will know when I can get off the ship before I will thro-" She said before she hung her head over the bulwark to throw up... Again. Nightbreaker chuckled before he went to find the captain in the captain's room. On his way there he was greeted by the crew of the ship that he was on. When he arrived at the captain's room, he saw that the door was open.
"Captain?"
"Y-your Highness! I didn't hear you came in." Captain Marcella said.
"Don't worry, Captain." Nightbreaker said with a smile. "I came only to ask when you think we will arrive at the location of Captain Dryade."
"That should not take long anymore, your Highness." The captain said. "I think we should arrive very shortly."
"Good to know." Nightbreaker said. "Now I can tell Valerie that she has not to wait long."
"Is something wrong with her, your Highness?"
The alicorn prince laughed a bit. "Not really, only that she has to throw up sometimes and I think that she regretted coming with me."
The captain chuckled. "I hope that we can land soon, otherwise I have to find a bucket for her if she wants to go down to the sleeping compartment to sleep, she can do it."
"Thank you, captain."
Then one of the ship's sailors came with urgent news.
"Captain! We have located the ship of captain Dryade." he said.
"That's great!" The captain said. "How far are they from us?"
"Not so far anymore, but we got also have a problem."
"And that is?" The captain asked.
"A storm is coming." The alicorn replied.
"What?" The captain yelled at the crew member. "Why did you tell me this now!? We could
have changed our course away from the storm!"
Everyone went out of the captain's room to watch the storm coming from the southeast.
"It has appeared out of nothing!" The sailor said while walking outside.
"Can we go around or is it too close?"
"It's too close, the wind is already changing its course and, it is also getting stronger by the minuted."
"Then we have to make a decision." The captain said. "We can try to go around or we have to go into the storm. What do you think, Your Highness?"
It was a few minutes quiet as the prince looked into the storm's distance. After a few minutes, the prince spoke up. "Go into the storm."
"But your Highness, are you sure?"
"Trust me, captain. I know that we will survive." The prince responded. "Bring everyone inside and fasten everything tight, because this is going to be a wild ride. But first, send an alicorn to admiral Dryade to tell him that we are going into the storm. I will get Valerie."
"Yes, Your Highness." The mare answered.
The fleet changed their course away from Dryade and his ship and towards the storm. This will be wild ride for the prince and princess and their crew.
