Caren Coal took me to Frownedere Castle, where I met Queen Eschew at the throne room.
"Well, well, well, welcome to the castle of gloom." the queen greeted to me. "I'm Queen Eschew, and I'm happy to have you here. May I ask who you are?"
"I'm Special Hoof form Maretime Bay." I responded.
"Maretime Bay?" Eschew asked shockingly. "Well, why are you at Wonderworld?"
"I was sucked into a vortex leading to this world." I answered. "The best question is: what do you want with me?"
"Well, you come to have a little fun with me. Years ago, Queen Frowny had lost her magic and wings after an attack, and then got banished. For now on, I need a foal like you to make me powerful to conquer Wonderworld and get rid of Princess Brightira for good."
"I can't believe this." I grumbled. "You sent a unicorn and an earth pony to capture a foal for you, and then the unicorn had defeated the pregnant princess, even when she had false contractions?!"
"Kid, I am sorry." Caren said. "But, is she all better?"
Yes, but hurting a pregnant mare is all too cruel."
"Well, next time I see her, I'll banish her and Thrillunt into my dungeon." said Queen Eschew. "Then, I'll have the city all to myself and get rid of the fun and happiness for good."
Then, she began to do her evil laugh as effects of lightning and thunder appeared in the background.
"Whatever you say." I say.
"Now, come along, kid. We got some harvesting to do." said Queen Eschew.
Caren was yanking me to move on. I was worried, I saw the same symbols from my nightmare on tapestries. I couldn't believe my I found my second sign of my friends getting into trouble. I was hoping they head home soon.
Back at Thrillunt and Brightira's castle, everypony was waiting for me and the others to come back.
"It's getting dark soon." said Daytime Darwin.
"I'm sure they'll come back." Bubble Burst told him.
Scarlet Tomato was looking out the window, when she saw somepony. She looked through her binoculars and she found the others entering the castle, running in panic. Everypony greeted them back, when they brought back a way to get home. But, before they were about to tell them the bad news, Prince Thrillunt and Princess Brightira appeared and started to tell the defenders something great.
"Defenders of Friendship," Princess Brightira said. "I have something to tell you. You were all very special and helpful, when you've come here. You've made a perfect breakfast, stopped the imposter, and made us a babies' room. For all of your good deeds, I decided to throw a parade for you and give you an award to say "thank you."
Everypony was feeling appreciated for the princess and prince to what they said.
After Brightira had finish her speech, Sharpy Gem was about to tell them the bad news.
"A parade is great, your highness." Sharpy Gem said. "But, I got bad news to tell everypony."
Before she could finish, there was someone knocking on the door. Clumsy ran to the door to check, before he tripped over and fell. He opened the door to see who it was, and listened to what the guests told him. He understood and turned his head towards the defenders.
"Defenders, somepony's here to see you." he said.
The defenders were wondering who wants to see them. Clumsy opened the door for the guests. And much to the defenders' surprise and joy, it was the Mane 6: Sunny Starscout, Izzy Moonbow, Hitch Trailblazer, Pipp Petals, Zipp Storm, Misty Brightdawn, and Sparky.
"IT'S SUNNY STARSCOUT AND THE OTHERS!!!" Ellagant Glare shouted.
"THERE THEY ARE!!!" Izzy shouted.
"WE FOUND YOU!!!" said Pipp.
They ran towards each other and gave each other hugs for reunion. Pipp was hugging Ellagant Glare tightly; she was so happy to see favorite, beautiful unicorn friend again.
"Ellagant Glare, I've missed you so much." Pipp said.
"I've missed you too, Pipp." said Ella.
Hitch was overjoyed to see Tangerine Twist, and so was Sparky.
"Tangerine, I knew you're still alive." said Hitch.
"Of course I'm alive, and so is everypony else." said Tangerine.
"I miss you, my favorite juice boy." said Sparky.
Izzy Moonbow was hugging Frosty Flavor and Joydan Gallop.
"You two are still amazing as ever." Izzy said.
"Thank you, Izzy." said Joydan.
Misty Brightdawn was hugging Sharpy Gem and Fearful Moe.
"I knew we would find you defenders." Misty said.
Zipp Storm was hugging Rollette Skate.
"Rollette, my little stunt skater, you are always a tough filly." Zipp said.
And, Sunny Starscout was hugging Bronze Feather and Violet Rosey.
"Oh ponies, it's great to see you all in one piece." Sunny said.
Brightira and Thrillunt stepped up to speak with the Mane 6.
"Excuse me." Brightira said, getting their attention. "Are you the ponies from Maretime Bay?"
"Yes we are." Sunny replied. "And, who are you two?"
"I'm Princess Brightira, ruler of Wonderworld."
"And, I'm her husband, Prince Thrillunt." the prince added. "Special told us about you."
"We let the defenders stay in the castle for a few days. They'd been helpful to us, even by giving us a new babies' room for our upcoming twins."
"We're planning a parade for them, and give them an award to express our appreciation." Thrillunt added. "And, since you're all here, you're invited."
"A ceremony?" Hitch asked. "I can't wait."
"You defenders are always kind at doing good deeds for everypony. Even from here." said Zipp.
"Well everpony," Sunny said. "It's great to see you all again. Do we have them all?"
Zipp flew up to check if all of us were together, but she could see one of us missing. And, that one was me.
"Uh Sunny..." Zipp said. "Not everyone's here. Special's missing."
Sunny noticed Zipp was right, she didn't see me around.
"Um ponies, have any of you seen Special?" Sunny asked.
As she heard the question, Sharpy Gem finally had the chance to tell everypony the bad news.
"That's exactly what I've been trying to tell earlier. SPECIAL HOOF HAS BEEN CAPTURED!!!"
Everypony gasped in shock to hear that.
"Captured?!? That's horrible." said Misty.
"But, who'd capture Special?" Pipp asked.
"An evil unicorn named Caren Coal." Frosty Flavor answered.
"She was working for an evil queen." Tangerine Twist added.
"And, where did she took him?" Hitch asked.
"They've took him to some place called Frownedere castle outside of Wonderworld." said Lucky CLover.
"Wait." said Princess Brightira. "Frownedere Castle? That's Queen Frowny's castle."
"Queen Frowny?" Zipp asked. "That evil pony who conquered Wonderworld countless times?"
"Indeed." Brightira answered.
"The current evil queen must be Frowny's descendant." said Thrillunt. "And, must be trying to conquer the city soon."
"Special's in danger!" Izzy cried.
"We got to go save him, fast!" said Sunny.
"No, we can't." said Sharpy Gem.
"Special was trying to protect us." said Radish Ryan. "He told us not to go after him."
"We can't break his promise." Gutsy Scott added.
After hearing the request, the Mane 6 gave them an advice.
"Ponies, we never promise Special anything." said Sunny. "You're all good at rescuing and solving problems."
"You need to remember: you're the Great Defenders Of Friendship." said Pipp. "Ever since your first quest with us, you became brilliant heroes of Equestria."
"Twilight Sparkle chose all of you to keep our homeland balanced." said Izzy. "And, you made it happened."
"Special's your rightful leader. He would never be lost in his heart." said Hitch.
"He's more than your friend, he's your family." said Zipp. "Never leave a pony behind."
"Even I didn't went on your first quest, I believe in you the whole time." said Misty. "We are all in this together. It's time for you ponies to do the same for him."
Everypony knew I had to continue my destiny back home. So, they changed theirs minds and agree to rescue me.
"I'm in." said Ellagant Glare.
"Me too." Joydan Gallop added.
"Let's do this." said Bubble Burst.
The orphan's stepped up and volunteered to help.
"We're in." Clumsy Bumzy.
"It's our turn to help you, defenders." said Scarlet Tomato.
"This will be epic." said Tender Love.
Gutsy Scott didn't want to break promises, but he agreed to help.
"Aye lad, me too." he said. "Nopony left behind. Not Special, not us."
"The Great Defenders of Friendship are on their way!" said Tangerine Twist.
"We'll play our part, hoof to heart!" said Fearful Moe.
"We're better than one friend, and we're here to defend!" said Violet Rosey.
"ALL FOR ONE, AND ONE FOR ALL!!!" everpony shouted.
