//------------------------------// // Chapter 6: The Mountains and Camping // Story: Captain Underpants and the Sinister Storms Of the Storm King // by Big Imagination E //------------------------------// Our heroes travelled far and wide trying to obtain the Star Diamond of Immortality. They walked for hours trying to reach the mountains but it was a long journey. First they had to get through the jungles. If Rarity was around she would be freaking out in a jungle. Next they all had to survive the blazing hot deserts. Luckily Ms Ribble carried some water bottles in case they get thirsty. Then they had to travel through the rapid rivers which is hard to get through when the streams are fast. Day after day they kept on going. After a few days they finally reached the snowy and icy mountains ahead of them in the distance. "There they are! The Glacier Mountains!" Mr Meaner said. "Yes. The coldest place in Equestria. The Glacier Mountains have been around for years and no pony has entered them. But we should find the Star Diamond of Immortality inside. At the very top." Tempest replied. "Well let's head there now and grab it!!" Bon Bon declared. "Wait Bonnie. I'm glad we found the Glacier Mountains and all. But I'm worried that the entrance could be guarded and we are tired from traveling for a few days." Harold reminded her. "He has a point. It was a long journey here." Mr Meaner agreed. "I agree with Harold. But the entrance is not really guarded. It's a cave but the wind is blowing really hard around the mountain. Even if you boys can fly to the cave you would have a hard time reaching it due to the strong winds. I suggest we wait til morning when the winds die down." Tempest said. "Looks like were camping for the night. Let's go find a spot on the mountains close enough to the cave. That way we'll get in and find the Star Diamond of Immortality fast." Sunset suggested. "Good idea Sunset. Let's go set up camp." George said. So the gang all started hiking up the mountains to find a spot to set up their campsite. Like the journey here it definitely took a while to find a spot. But after an hour or two they finally found a spot close to the cave and started setting up the campsite. 15 minutes went by and night came in and Mr Meaner got a fire ready as everyone sat around it trying to stay warm. "Hey boys. I never know how you got together with Lyra and Bon Bon. Could you tell me that story?" Tempest asked. "Well Tempest I'm glad you asked. It all started three years ago when we first met them. They really liked our comic books and they wanted to get to know us better. So we hung out at Sugarcube Corner and we started growing closer. But when Chrysalis attacked on that day we needed to stop her. So us and Captain Underpants did stop her and we freed the ponies including Lyra and Bon Bon and won their hearts. Then we dated for that long til Tirek showed up and was causing problems. But after we stopped him we proposed to them and that leaves us to this day." George explained. "It's true Tempest." Bon Bon agreed. "Wow. That is quite the love story. Wish I had a special someone like you two." Tempest said sadly. "Well don't you have someone? Or even a few friends?" Ms Ribble asked. "I used too. But that was a long time ago. See when I was a filly I did have a few friends to play with. But one day a Ursa Major tore my horn off and when I tried to pick it up I accidentally destroyed it. That caused my friends to run away and no matter how hard I tried apologizing they wouldn't come near me. I was scared, desperate and all alone. Because of that it led me to being the Storm King's servant. And I that was wrong to do til Twilight and her friends helped me realize the error of my ways. But I wish I had friends again. Even though I was forgiven I still feel lonely." Tempest answered. "Well don't worry. You're not alone anymore. You now have some friends to be on your side." Sunset assured. "Yeah. You changed for the better. And you are helping us stop Melvin and the Storm King which shows that you are being a hero and not a villain. We all appreciate that." George smiled. "For sure. And Tempest? Your not the only one who had that. See me and Ms Ribble were mean before. But ever since Sombra came and separated our negatrons from our bodies we learned to be more nicer. And ever since arriving in this world we actually have been able to be nicer to George and Harold." Mr Meaner said. "Yeah for sure. And since you are willing to help us obtain the artifact and save Equestria from the clutches of Melvin and the Storm King is more than willing to be our friend." Harold smiled. Tempest was so happy that everyone is willing to show friendship towards her and she hugged all her new friends and cried happy tears knowing that her friends are gonna be by her side and stop the threats that's in Equestria. "Thank you everyone. I'm so glad to have you as my friends and that we are gonna work as a team to stop the Storm King." Tempest smiled. "Your welcome Tempest." George and Harold said in unison. "Okay gang. Let's all get some sleep and tomorrow we all head into the cave and seek the Star Diamond of Immortality." Tempest said. Soon everyone agreed and crawled into their sleeping bags. Before shared his with Lyra and Harold shared his with Bon Bon since they were married. Mr Meaner and Ms Ribble got their own and Sunset offered Tempest to sleep in her tent with her so they both stay warm. After getting settled they all fell asleep and went to dreamland. But they knew that tomorrow they will head into the cave and get the artifact to stop Melvin and the Storm King. Can they stop them? Let us hope they do.
