//------------------------------// // Chapter 13: Rise, Queen of the Sea // Story: My Little Pony: The New Rewrite Movie // by Arkogon //------------------------------// Lagriahu starts with every destruction he sees with thunderstorm and storm waves, every pony and hippogriff are being dragged by the hurricane as their friends help them to take shelter. "Everpony, take shelter!" Celaeno called out but the storm was too strong. Waves come to the shore, and everyponies and hippogriffs start to run to the high ground. Twilight and the others came outside seeing the tides coming closer to the shore very fast and Flash and Capper help the others get to the Canterlot before the waves start to sweep them. "Flash!" She calls to him and he turns. "Twilight!" He hurries to her. "What's going on? Did you have the trident?" He asked as they looked around because it had been destroyed. Applejack scratched the back of her mane. "Well, funny thing...." Then Pinkie intervene. “Tempest destroys the trident, big boy ate the Queen, and Equestria is now in danger!" All of them looked at her. "What?" But that interrupts when Lagriahu blasts electricity at them as Tempest pushes back with her lighting, and Lagriahu was strong he pushed back blasting her and the others. He was gonna do it again but was shot in the face many times by Ray who is helping them. "You?" Spike was surprised to see him again. "I thought you left!" "I didn't." He told them. "I was just pretending." "Then why didn't you help us?" Rainbow Dash asked, and he tells them. "Because I rather not be part of your battle." Before they want more answers, Lagriahu becomes furious and starts to bring a thunderstorm with every strike around them. They hurry and dodge every strike and finally meet with the other princesses. Before joining, Tempest stops and senses something from the sea. She couldn't ignore it and knew she must go to it, as the others noticed her leaving. "Tempest!" Twilight yells but she jumps into the sea activating her scuba gear. "I knew it!" Rainbow Dash thinks Tempest betrays them. "I knew she will betray us!" All of them agreed but not Twilight, she knew something caught her attention as she went after her. "Twilight, wait!" Spike tries to stop her but Flash holds him back because the lightning almost strikes him. Twilight rushed and completely dodged every strike from the storm and dove into the sea. She held her breath and found some bubbles as she carefully put it on and saw many sea creatures swimming around by the chaos of the sea, and one shark saw her and tried to bite her but was hit by a manta ray. She swims away but it starts to give her a lift and she notices the manta is Ray's pet. "Good girl." She pet calmly. "Now, take me to Tempest." The Manta responds and swims to find Tempest. Meanwhile on the surface, everyponies and hippogriffs are taking shelter inside the castle, as Lagriahu still continues creating more destruction in his path. "He's still going." Skystar was scared, holding her mother's claw. "Will it ever end?" "No..." She comforted her. "This is how the sea goes." Every creature was scared, and the princesses saw the fear in every creatures' heart as the Mane Six and their friends were worried what would happen next. Under the sea, Twilight is still with the Manta searching for Tempest. As they search, they see a glowing spark and she knows who could make that spark. The Manta swims and they reach to her seeing she's with Neslia who is still breathing but with a big harpoon in her. Tempest struggles to pull it but it still won't as she turns to see Twilight with Manta. "Get out of here!" She told her as she is still trying to pull it out. "This is my responsibility." Then Twilight swam to her. "No, you can't do this alone. No one can be responsible if we can still fix this." As she joins and helps her. Tempest does not know why she's helping her after what has happened. But they both work together to pull the harpoon, as the Manta came with seaweed they could use. Together, they wrap it around the harpoon and pull, as the Manta pulls hard as she can. And finally, it came out and Neslia growled feeling it out of her. "Neslia..." Tempest swam to her. "You need to get up. Lagriahu is destroying Canterlot." Neslia can't rise due to being pierced by the harpoon and let out a little growl for a minute. "Please, I know everything I did was wrong. But please, Equestria needs you." Neslia looks at them for a moment and then smiles for her last time. And slowly her eyes close, letting her life force fade. Tempest tried to get her to rise but Twilight knew it was too late. She sob and blame herself for what they've done, and Twilight grief lets the tears from her eyes of the last Guardian. Then the Manta and every sea creature came, seeing the last Guardian of the Sea die until they began doing something, catching Twilight's attention when she saw them doing it. "The sea creatures...." She sees them lowering themselves like they are bowing. "I think I know what we need to do." She said making Tempest confused. "We have to believe." "Believe? How's that gonna work?" "Trust me." As she starts to believe. "Must believe." Tempest does not know what's happening but she joins in to believe. On the surface, Ray felt something and knew what it was. "Believe...." He spoke, getting the others' attention. "What?" The pink parrot asked not knowing what he meant but said again. "Believe... I believe." "Believe in what?" Rainbow Dash asked, confused. "I believe...." He continues on, as they do not know what he meant until Spike understands. "I believe..." He started to believe. "I believe..." He continues on with Ray, as they soon start to believe. Their attention has the other ponies and hippogriffs as they start to believe. Queen Nova and Skystar joined and so did the Princesses, as everyone keeps on believing. That's when an unthinkable happens, their believable starts to happen with a mist of magic drawn from them then flows into the sea. In the sea, the sea creatures' magic then flows to Neslia, as Twilight and Tempest notice their magic is also flowing into her. Soon, her chest glows then lines all the way to her head and with an awakened eye. And soon, Lagriahu destroys the wall from the castle and finds more creatures in his path. Every creature was terrified, as the friends knew they were in trouble. "This is the end, isn't it?" Rarity asked, scared believing it's the end. "I hope he's nice to us." Fluttershy said, and Capper was afraid. "I hope he's not hungry for cats." Lagriahu ready to breathe his wrath of electricity, as everyone prepares for their last moment. But something stopped him from getting his attention from the far away sea. A bright light came from the sea, meaning something was coming, as a creature rose. A theme song plays, rises theme, as the ponies and hippogriffs find out Neslia rises, as the friends are surprised she's alive. "She rises again!!!" Boyle said raising his sword, giving all of them cheers for her returns. And on top of her head were Tempest and Twilight riding on and facing the tyrant in front of them, as every creature sees them including her friends. "Twilight?!" They were surprise seeing her and cheered she's okay. "Yeah! Go, Twilight!!!" Pinkie cheers very loudly. Then Neslia's energy began to power up and she blasted it into the sky showing she rises again to defend Equestria. "The final battle between two rulers of the sea." Queen Nova then announces the battle. "Room for One Ruler." The battle begins, as Lagriahu roars with a powerful rage and charges forward to destroy her. Neslia swims forwards with her might as Lagriahu blasts powerful lighting at them, but she dives and dodge from every electricity including thunder strikes. With her charging forward, Tempest uses her horn and blasts electricity affecting him which makes the Lord angry. They dive, as Lagriahu could not see where they are until Neslia emerges and clutches him into the sea. The friends watch but do not know what's going on under the sea. "How did she have all that energy?" Flash asked, wondering how she's full power. "Don't know, but she's really kicking the giant squid’s tentacles!!" Rainbow Dash said seeing how awesome the sea dragon was. Under the sea, Twilight and Tempest help Neslia and continue to fight on the Lord. Lagriahu was enraged and kept on blasting electricity at them. But they continue swimming around as Neslia creates a sonic wave calling for help. Then the sea creatures came to their help and began fighting alongside them. They pinch, bite, or sting on the Lord as he was being beaten by many sea creatures. Neslia and Tempest keep on using their power while going around, as Lagriahu tries to hit them but keeps on missing because the sea creatures are hurting him too much, but it wasn't enough. "We need more magic!" Twilight said. "Tempest, you need to use alicorn magic." "I don't even know how to control them." She reminded. "I'm not an alicorn like you." "You may not be, but sometimes you need friends who can help you to believe. You can do it." Twilight said, and Tempest believes in herself and focuses on her horn. She then unleashes a massive spark of alicorn magic and gives Neslia the energy, as she starts to begin a finishing move. She burst into super speed swimming around the Lord, as he does not know what's happening. Neslia swam around very fast with currents flowing her trail. A big whirlpool appears on the surface, as everyone sees something happen. "Now, what?" Applejack said, seeing what's happening. "Lagriahu?" "No, alicorn magic..." Celestia said knowing the magic familiar. The whirlpool creates large tornado waves trapping Lagriahu inside and nowhere to escape. He sees them and try to blast them out of the waves but couldn't by Neslia's speed still circling around bringing it high. Once in the air, they dive and twirl creating cyclone waves straight towards Lagriahu and strike him into the sea making big waves. Everyponies and hippogriffs witness the battle as the tides die down and the storm clouds fade away, leaving them worrying. The Mane Six and their friends were worried until Lagriahu emerged from the sea weakened and wounded on the cliff sides, as Neslia rises with Twilight and Tempest still on top. Then it shows Neslia has Lagriahu's left mouthpart in her mouth as she ate it, giving fear to him. "Alright, now finish him off!" Rainbow Dash yells for Neslia to finish Lagriahu, as everyone cheers for her. Neslia stares at him for a moment, then roars with a powerful might. This confuses Dash not understanding why she only did that. "Why didn't she finish him off? He was the one trying to destroy us!" As she said, Ray confirm why. "Because she didn't. Destroying is not her way, but protecting." They all understand, and Lagriahu was feared by Neslia's will and understood what she said. "What now?" Applejack said wanted to know what's going on between the two titans. "Forcing him to return to the Deep Sea, never again return to the surface." Nova speaks and understands what Neslia's doing. "Because she's the Queen of the Sea." With that, Lagriahu was forced to return to the Deep Sea and never resurface again. And Neslia roars, promoting herself the Queen of the Sea.
