This story is a sequel to The Equestria Chronicles: Journey Through The Crystal Mountains


As the Equestria's Finest expedition, under the unwavering leadership of Twilight Sparkle, triumphs over one friendship dilemma, their journey extends far beyond the horizon. Their path unfurls toward the enigmatic realms of Griffinstone, Swallowtail, and the fabled Unicorn Kingdom in the distant east. Yet, reaching Griffonia is a formidable quest in its own right, with perilous encounters with pirates, ruthless bandits, and a war-torn continent challenging their every step. Nevertheless, they are not embarking on this odyssey alone. As both familiar and newfound friends rally behind the banner of friendship, all in pursuit of a brighter, more harmonious tomorrow.

One a petty thief, charlatan, and former terror on Ponyville, a former cult leader, terrorist, and assassin, and a former invader now part of Equestria’s finest team of representatives in the pursuit of friendship.

Okay I would say Trixie and starlight did not had a good reputation after what they did but thorax he had no choice it's either that or he would have been tortured or killed by Queen Chrysalis and probably the other changelings

“Er, no politics at the table, y’all,” Applejack attempted to soothe the situation before it became out of control...

Yes seriously it's basically a friendship killer when it comes to topics like that

Starlight rolled her eyes, “The prospect of equality isn’t as nonsensical as you make t it, Rarity.” Starlight said firmly.

Do you mean like make it out or something

“It’s an ancient city inside a tree, a mix of pegasi, harpies, griffins, and hippogriffs all living in one massive, sprawling tree! It’s known for its constant festivals, dance, and song! It’s a wonderful place; I’m sure Rainbow would like it there,” Twilight grinned.

Huh that's probably another way to get silverstream to join in but hey that sounds pretty cool

“Yeah, I think Pinkie won’t have any trouble.” Twilight chuckled lightly.

Yeah seriously we saw how she can technically fly

Wow okay so we're still on our adventure with the main six Starlight Trixie thorax and Yona pretty good so far even though everybody's starting to get each other's nerves a little bit mostly with Starlight and Trixie it looks like they're heading for Manhattan so they can take an Airship or something to get to Griffin Stone and apparently another city where flying creatures live as well which this is going to be a very difficult situation for non Flyers but I'm sure Twilight and the others will figure this thing out well whatever happens we'll find out soon

I have to ask - what made you think to make Thorax a boozer?

11386659
Miles "Tails" Power:(sees first video)...copycat

“C-C-CHA-CHANGELING!” shrieked a pegasus, quickly alerting the other ponies around the area. Causing… a stir to say the least, with ponies fleeing the scene and screaming in terror.

well at least it's not just only Ponyville who overreacted a little bit good to know

Applejack sighed, “Don’t rope me into your schemes, Glimmer.”

“Oh, bite me, let’s go.” huffed Starlight.

That's such an old insult I haven't heard for a long time

“Oh, hush up, Rainbow. I ain’t scared of the ocean; I’m scared of being lost at sea or drowning!”

Fair enough because I get scared too

Trixie hesitated. With any other pony, she would have told them bluntly to their faces that they were wrong and how bad they were at this. But Trixie didn’t want to hurt his feelings... and that was strange, even for her.

Wow thorax really affect you so badly huh Trixie you can't say nothing bad about him

Well it looks like they finally made it to the city and now they're heading for the ship which unfortunately it's pretty cheap which Twilight really don't want to have this kind attraction and now they're heading for the Griffin Island and Something tells me the crew are giving the girls some hard times well hopefully once they get there things will be okay and maybe we'll see Gilda there well we'll find out next time

That was a good story goodluck with the rest of it.

Salty sighed as he turned to Pinkie, “Here’s all you need to know, ‘gib mir Bier, gib mir Henne’s und gib mir einen Job’ Give me a beer, give me a hen, and give me a job!”

Thorax slowly muttered to himself, “Gib…mir…bier….gotcha.”

Again with Thorax the boozer. I dread to think of what would happen if he brought alcohol back to the changelings.

Trixie’s eyes widened. “I’m glad I was in Bridlewood at the time; otherwise, I would have been in a lot of trouble….”

Bridlewood? I wonder if that exists during the time of G4

Trixie and Starlight stayed quiet for a moment, absorbing what Thorax had just admitted to them. They couldn’t imagine Thorax being in any sort of army, especially not invading Canterlot. Trixie wondered if he ever had a choice to do what he wanted.

He probably didn't because he would have been punished or killed for not helping the hive

Starlight raised a brow at the physical affection, quietly cataloging the moment as a smile crept on her lips. Trixie glanced over and noticed the look. Rolling her eyes as she blushed.

Awww I think Trixie likes him 🥰

“Because I don’t think we can fix my problem in twenty-two minutes or in a five-minute song.” She’d take a long swig again before pausing at the ‘friend’ bit.

I've always hear that kind of joke about how people always called out for shells that always been fixed but a couple of minutes or even a 5-minute song or depending what song it is

“My dance?! Ponies have been talking about my dancing??” Twilight blushed, “Who said that?”

because she's got the moves like Jagger

Well this was a pretty interesting situation here so they're still in the ship and everybody went back to the room but Starlight stayed with thorax and Trixie but the way how they traded each other and how much their friends are really did grew from each other and felt like Starlight doesn't feel like she deserved this after what she did and everything so basically she went out of the room and Twilight seen her how she's doing she wanted to ask if she's okay but Starlight admitted that she's not that why does everybody gave her a second chance knowing to the fact what she did she doesn't feel like she deserve it it can be very difficult to get over that kind of feeling but someday maybe it will once proves herself that she can have the second chance I just hope that sooner or later she knows soon and Santa tells me Twilight and starlight are going to feel that tomorrow I wonder what's going to happen next guess we'll find out next time

“....Take a drink.” Starlight said finally.

“You want me to... drink?” Twilight cocked a brow.

She’d offer the rum, “I’ve never seen you drink anything aside from non-alcoholic cider, and I’m not being miserable alone.”

“Uh, well, I’m not sure that’s a good idea….” Twilight rubbed the back of her head, “Last time I drank, it was Applejack’s hard cider, and uh… I woke up in the middle of the street with a lampshade on my head.”

Oh no, it's spreading!:rainbowwild:
I believe Yona & Spike will be the designated drivers for the whole group soon enough! :moustache:

"I'm not; there's only one pony here with an iron stomach," Twilight turned, gesturing to Pinkie Pie, "Pinkie, no pressure, but do you think you can do it?"

Pinkie Pie puffed out her chest, grinning brightly. "Why, of course, I can, your Aunty Pinkie, and drink anypony or anycreature under the table!"

"Yona good at drinking too!" Yona raised a hoof, causing the others to turn to stare at her, "What?! Yona sneaked some at home."

Shanty would seem to be the only conscious creature unphased by Yona's remark, "Aye! I would've sunk a bottle or two of tha' good stuff from me old captain when I was younger!"

Shanty narrowed her eyes at Pinkie Pie, "You think yah a lead belly mare? You're nothing but a plushy tubby foal wit a curly mane and fuzzy brain! Get ready because tonight yer gonna regret ever picking up a drink around Shanty!"

Pinkie grinned, giving the pirate a cheerful grin. "We'll see about that!"

Oh boy, looks like it's bottoms up next time around!:pinkiehappy:

Also nevermind Yona being designated driver for the group! :facehoof::rainbowlaugh:

"T-Twilight," murmured the mare as she forced herself off the ground, "...My head is killing me; what happened last night?"

The lamb narrowed her eyes as her rectangular pupils locked with Rainbow's, "Oooohhh it's a brawl ye want? Them's fightin herds!" Shanty quickly bucked Rainbow off her as she shouted, "AVAST!"

Oh I can't believe I didn't see that it's the goat from the game them fightin herds wow

"It doesn't matter. I'll be fine; I'll go with them." Twilight sighed. "I don't want anycreature else getting hurt…."

What no twilight what the heck

"Yona good at drinking too!" Yona raised a hoof, causing the others to turn to stare at her, "What?! Yona sneaked some at home."

Ummm how old are you kid

Wow things have really escalated so quickly so it looks like Twilight and starlight are waking up on the hangovers but before anything could happen the Pirates showed up and attack the ponies and creatures on board and the one who attacked them name Shanty the character from the game them fightin herds and once again she shows that she has a lot of fighting skills and the others put up a good fight against her crew but she said she has more backup coming and Twilight doesn't want to get anybody hurt but Rainbow Dash challenge Shanty of a drinking contest and the only way she will actually agreed if they made a deal which that's a risky move and it looks like Pinkie Pie is volunteering to do this and something tells me this won't go easy well let's find out next time

I was seriously expecting Thorax to step up for the drinking contest

Lying down on her back, Pinkie opened her mouth as wide as possible, gesturing to the kegs and pointing a hoof at the taps. Twilight's eyes widened as she realized what Pinkie wanted her to do. Could she really handle THAT much?

Oh my God that's a lot of alcohol man

Pinkie ran to the edge of the deck, Fluttershy zipping forward to ensure she didn't fall over. "BUT WE ALREADY KNOW YOUR NAME; IT'S SHANTY!! OH, AND BYEEEEE!!"

Lol oh Pinkie 😅

"Never better, purple smart; ooooh, when did you get your wings again?" The pink mare stumbled over, nearly falling into the princess. Twilight caught her, letting out a small grunt.

She got them back in season 3 lol

Hot dang, hope nopony lights a match near the pink mare for a while! :twilightoops:

Well at least things turned out pretty okay now so with all that Pinkie Pie and Shanty battle It Out by drinking how much alcohol they can drink which again that is pretty dangerous and Pinkie Pie achieve the most impossible and making the other opponent to give up which she give the supplies to Twilight any others and she basically sailed away in defeat but after that a lot of ponies are getting to work to help of the injured ponies and creatures who got hurt during the attack and Fluttershy and starlight really make a pretty good team when it comes to medical care and of course Fluttershy really came far and something tells me it's going to be a long night of trying to heal up especially Pinkie Pie well I guess we'll find out next time

I like seeing Starlight and Shy interacting like this.

“Hush now, quiet now, it’s time to lay your sleepy head…” The pegasus barely sang over a whisper, “Hush now, quiet now, it’s time to go to bed… Drift drift off to sleep, an exciting day behind you, drift drift off to sleep, let the joy of dreamland find you….”

It's really nice song when Fluttershy sings it

Taking in a gulp of air, Fluttershy looked teary for a brief moment. “And sometimes… it wouldn’t be enough. I can’t count how many times I’ve had to let my little friends go. And I miss them every single day. But I knew that, before they passed, they were as comfortable as I could possibly make them.”

Oh man that really hurts because I felt the same way when I had to let go of my cat when she was suffering it was very hard rest in peace Ashley 🙏

She’d chuckle, “I can see why you’re the element of kindness…” the unicorn did her best to carry herself up the tall set of stairs, but she couldn’t help but lean on the pegasus helping at times. Fluttershy smiled, the expression lost to Starlight.

And that's why I love about Fluttershy

“And no offense but Discord is a wet noodle, I’ve read how he is around you.” she snickered, “What a schmuck…”

Fluttershy blushed slightly, looking away. “Well, we are very good friends… but it wasn’t so easy in the beginning. In comparison, you’re practically an angel! He was… well, perhaps I can tell you another time. It’s a long story.”

Ohh lol she really likes him but yes Starlight it's a very long story I can tell you that

Wow that's what's actually pretty nice chapter so it looks like Starlight is still trying to tendon the wounds of the creatures in the boat and pushing herself to the Limit until Fluttershy showed up and offered to help a little bit with the patient while that is done Fluttershy and starlight we're talking about this whole trip was getting way too much especially other creatures and ponies got them self hurt and everything but Fluttershy still thinks they can still do this despite the dangerous it's going to come towards them and she really believes that starlight can be forgiven if she tries again it was pretty amazing that Fluttershy can offer her the kindness and starlight didn't realize she's been down there for a long time so Fluttershy help her to get to her room and make her rest while she will help with the other creatures again that was pretty nice of Fluttershy and this was a pretty nice conversation between those two I wonder what's going to happen next guess we'll find out next time

Starlight backsliding. Not good.

This ain’t a mutiny lady; this is preventing an outbreak of illness; there be scurvy at claw!” snapped another griffin.

Having major flashback about the earlier 2020s pandemic lockdown

“SHE’S CLEARLY MAD WITH THE PLAGUE CAPTAIN!”

“SHE’S POSSESSED, BOREAS SAVE US!”


The only thing is possessed as your brain you don't know what you guys are talking about

Twilight’s horn burned as brightly as the sun, and a flash enveloped the ship, and in the blink of an eye, every single creature aboard froze in place, unable to move.

Wow that's the same spell back in season 4 and 5 I think castle mania and hooffields and mccolts

Starlight quickly turned to Twilight, “Twilight, your presence here signifies that alone. You being here is more than enough. These griffins will probably make dolls and portraits of you to sell by the end of the week. Now I insist unless you WANT Griffinstone or Swallowtail to be swept up in a great calamity, then toil with pirates.” hissed the unicorn.

I understand you're a little impatient about this whole situation here Starlight but you better watch it I don't care how strong you are we you're going to teach you a lesson about that

“There are no friends of mine,” spat Starlight, “Half of these ‘friends’ are imbeciles! Incompetent self-righteous fools!”

I mean girl you know what I mean

Well it looks like the situation is getting very difficult than ever because now the crew are getting really restless and nerve-racking about the whole situation they were about to throw or kill the injured because they think they could affect everybody so Twilight had to do something she has to put them to sleep since they can't be reason for now until they reach land so the other ponies have to do the from themself they're almost close to land but Twilight wanted to check on the wounded just to make sure everything is secured but apparently Starlight doesn't think so she thinks they're the Lost Cause then the others were getting really ticked off about starlight's attitude and there was about to be a fight until Fluttershy stop them before it escalated twilight try to warn Starlight to calm down and not to insult anybody but she doesn't care she just walk away and just basically given them a dirty look and insult them one last time before she went back so now thorax and Trixie has to clean up her dang mess again from her last chapter that just completely turned 180 of her attitude I don't know what the heck happened but it looks like the sea is also getting in her head as well I just hope she knows how to chill out and play nice with the others or else she's going to get herself in trouble more well I guess we'll find out next time

When did this story take on such dark tones?

“Thorax, you’re used to being watched for one, and two, I am tired of these ponies and their… their self-righteousness! Ugh! We have done enough for those foolish sailors, and now Twilight wants to waste precious time playing up her public perception to a bunch of grouchy griffs!”

Okay as much those reference can be ungrateful it's the least we can do for getting us over to the destination and not only that they almost got themselves killed just to get there
