Hours later.

Twilight and her friends were on their way to Themyscira, they had picked up some of their teammates from their superhero team the Champions and were now cruising above the clouds in the invisible jet.  

The teammates were: Squirrel Girl, Hawkeye (Kate Bishop), Thunder and Lighting, Ms. Marvel (Kamala Khan), Stinger and Spider-Girl (Anã Corazón).
 

Everyone was amazed at the invisible jet and when Twilight had explained the situation they had all been gung-ho about the idea.

"This is so cool," Rainbow Dash said, barely able to contain herself, "this is going to be the best vacation ever!"

"Remember, Rainbow," Twilight stated, "this isn't a vacation, this is an opportunity to improve our combat skills and maybe learn how to work better as team and as heroes."

"Yeah, yeah," Rainbow Dash replied, "take from me, as captain of every sports team at CHS, it's important to know your limits and not push your team too hard, everyone learns at a different pace."

Rainbow Dash's words resonated with Twilight, did she have the team's best interests at heart? She shook it off, this was for the good of her friends and teammates.

Twilight's thoughts were interrupted by the voice of Wonder Girl, "Attention, passengers," she declared, "this is your captain speaking, please fasten your seatbelts as we are about to make our descent towards Themyscira, thank for flying with us today on Amazonian airlines, hope you enjoyed your flight."

Everyone returned to their seats as instructed and the jet began to dip below the clouds. 

Laid before them was the beautiful Themyscira, Paradise island.


A unified 'wow' broke forth from everyone on board the jet.

The invisible jet proceeded to land on the island, after which everyone disembarked and were taken to meet the ruler of Themyscira and mother of Wonder Woman, Queen Hippolyta.

"I must say," Rarity remarked, "the architecture is simply beautiful."

Themyscira contained stunning green landscapes, greco-roman architecture, Hellenic temples and columns from 1200 BCE.

"I'll say," Fluttershy nodded, "it's like we stepped back in time to ancient Greece."

The truth couldn't be more true, Amazons and their island had existed since the Roman Empire.

After a few minutes, Twilight and the others arrived at the throne room.

Donna Troy and Wonder Girl both bowed before the queen, Twilight and the others following their example.

"Welcome home, sisters Donna and Cassie," Queen Hippolyta said, "and I see you have brought company."


"Indeed, my queen," Donna Troy replied, "our friends have come here in search of wisdom and skill in the art of combat."

Donna motioned to Twilight and the others, one after the other they all introduced themselves to the queen, making sure to be as respectful as possible. 

"Donna and Cassie have informed me," Queen Hippolyta said, "that your skills in combat are in need of improvement, yes?"

"Yes," Twilight answered, "please, mighty Queen Hippolyta," she urged, "I feel that my companions are in need of expert combat training and I feel that your world would be ideal to teach us, so we can better protect the outside world from any threat that may come our way."

The queen smiled, "I can sense the sincerity in your words," she stated, "we understand your plight and shall accept your request, we shall endeavour to train you as we would train our fellow Amazons."

Twilight smiled, thankful that her request had been accepted.

"Oh thank you, Queen Hippolyta," she smiled, "thank you for your kindness."

"Donna and Cassie have told me many stories about you and your friends," Queen Hippolyta replied, "I simply wanted to see for myself, to see your drive and dedication first hand, I can safely say that they were right."

Queen Hippolyta turned to Donna and Cassie, "show our guests to where they will be staying," she said, "as of today, you all are honorary Amazons, now go and get some rest, your training shall begin tomorrow."

After their meeting with the queen, Donna and Cassie escorted Twilight and the rest to their living quarters, they were two-person rooms so they split into pairs.

Along with their quarters everyone was provided with appropriate clothing, like the island's architecture the clothing worn by the inhabitants of Themyscira were Roman Stola, the female equivalent of the male Toga.

Once everyone had picked their roommates, Twilight and her friends went to sleep, not knowing what would come their way, but confident they could rise to meet the challenge.
