It was Morning in Canterlot. And on this morning, The Rainbooms prepare in their own way. Fluttershy was greeted by some small birds. Applejack got some chores done along with Applebloom and Big Mac. Pinkie Pie made breakfast for her sisters despite a pancake landed on her sister Maud's head. Rainbow Dash jogged around the town with Scootaloo and waved at everyone she passed, including Wallflower Blush who was watering her garden. Rarity did a little shopping for some fabrics for her fashion ideas with Sweetie Belle. And even though she had hit snooze alarm a couple times, Sunset Shimmer had gotten herself around and got a coffee as she met up with the others and greeted each other.
"So you girls ready to meet at the portal?" Sunset asked her friends.
"You betcha!" Pinkie gleefully answered.
"Had to double time it on my chores to meet here" Applejack boasted. "The hard part was not letting my geode power get the best of me."
"C'mon! they'll be here any minute." Rainbow cried.
It was there Fluttershy noticed someone missing. "Um where's Twilight?"
"She's having breakfast with her brother and Principal Cadence, remember?" Sunset answered.
Before transferring to Canterlot High, Twilight Sparkle used to go to Crystal Prep High School. There she was an outcast, despite being smart, and didn't have any friends. Cadence, who was a Dean at the time, was the only friendly shoulder Twilight had. After the events of the Friendship Games and Twilight transferred to Canterlot High, The former Principal Abacus Cinch was fired and Cadence was chosen to be the new principal and was engaged to Twilight's older brother, Shining Armor, who was also a Dean. Despite being busy, Cadence and Shining always find time for Twilight to see how's she's doing in Canterlot High.
"Oh Yeah." Fluttershy said.
"Don't worry, darling, She'll be around later." Rarity reminded her friend. "She has been looking forward to this day as well as the rest of us."
Today, The Rainbooms were going to be visited by their friends, Chetcheki Chan Gecko and Starlight Glimmer, from Equestria. Through the statue of Canterlot High is a portal to another world called Equestria, home to Sunset Shimmer and Twilight's counterpart who is the Princess of Friendship. Starlight is the reformed protege of Princess of Friendship who saved the girls from a possessed diva with a mirror. when Chet visited the world himself, he helped Twilight saved their principal, Celestia, from a demon with the help of a superhero Shine Boy. When anyone who visited from Equestria, they are changed from pony to human, but for Chet, he remains as he is for some reason.
--------
As the other Rainbooms head to the portal, Twilight was finishing her breakfast with her brother and sister in law.
"Thank you for the Breakfast. I loved it." Twilight thanked.
"It's always good to see you, Twilight." Cadence answered. "And I'm glad they're treating you well at CHS."
"Plus, we thought we'd asked if you would want any of some of these things we're getting rid of." Shining Armor said as he pulled up a box with some junk in it.
Twilight accepted the box. "I'm sure I could make use of some of these. What're you making room for?"
Cadence motioned Twilight to come closer to her and, as she did, placed Twilight's hand to her stomach. Twilight's eyes widened as she felt a kick.
"Y-you?"
Cadence smiled and nodded.
"I-I'm gonna be an aunt!" Twilight proclaimed.
Nearby, her dog Spike was napping after having his breakfast grumbled. "Great. great. Proclaim it during lunch, okay?"
After calming down a bit, Twilight search through the box, finding electronics and books before finding a beautiful necklace. it was laced with gems around the amulet of the necklace and was beaded with beads the size of marbles.
"Cadence," Twilight whispered. "It's beautiful."
"Oh that! That was my great grandmother's. My grandmother told me the stories her mother told her about a mysterious island and it's guardian."
"Guardian?"
"It is said that a guardian used this necklace to help banish a great evil from conquering his home island with the help of some great heroes."
"Did he win?"
"He did, but was so weakened he was put under a deep sleep. Only to awaken when needed again."
Twilight awed. "Wow! Creepy."
Cadence smiled as she patted Twilight's shoulder. "Twilight. It’s just a story."
"I heard that before." Twilight bluntly said, recalling her adventure with the dream eater.
"Well, I thought your friend, Rarity, could make use of it." Cadence added. "But be careful with it. It's very old."
"Well, we better get going. We're due to have the doctor to check on the baby." Shining pointed out.
Twilight mentioned. "Yeah I better get going too. Some friends of mine are visiting today. C'mon, Spike!"
Spike stretched as he followed Twilight to the door as she waved goodbye to Cadence and Shining Armor.
-----------
Meanwhile, The other Rainbooms waited by the statue until two figures emerged from the portal. One was another teenage girl the same age as the girls with purple hair with a green streak and the other was a humanoid gecko wearing a trenchcoat and carried swords. It was Starlight Glimmer and Chetcheki Chan Gecko.
"Whoa! Still not use to this." Starlight said as she stumbled.
"Chet! Starlight!" The Rainbooms cried.
"Hello, girls" Chet greeted as the girls embraced the two. "Ah it’s good to be back."
Sunset smiled. "I'm glad Princess Twilight let you come, Starlight!"
"I never thought I’d be able to see you all again." Starlight sighed. "But when Twilight talked about letting Chet come back, she thought I've been working too hard at the School of Friendship."
"It’s still good to see you both again." Sunset smiled as she embraces Starlight.
Rainbow turns to Chet. "So Chet, have you figured out why you haven't transformed when you come here?"
"Fraid not" Chet sighed. "But Princess Twilight has a hypothesis that it might be these." Chet held up his twin katanas. "She believes the magic my father's swords endure are the reason I am immune to the magic of the portal." Chet looked around. "Where is your Twilight?"
"She's having breakfast with her brother and sister in law" Pinkie answered.
Chet chuckled. "How ironic because the last time I was here she was the only one who greeted me here and now she is the only one not here."
"She'll be here later when she's done" Fluttershy explained.
"Let's wait for her and the fun will begin." Applejack said.
As they all sat down to wait for Twilight and Spike, Chet looked up to the sky thinking about the friend he made the last time he was here.
As the morning continued, The Rainbooms, Starlight, and Chet continued to wait for Twilight and Spike to begin their day. As the girls lounge near the statue, Chet sat in a medtation pose.
"Good morning, girls."
The girls look to see Principal Celestia carrying some paperwork with her.
"Good Morning, Principal Celestia." the girls greeted.
"What brings you here on a Saturday?" Fluttershy asked.
"Oh. Just catching up on some paperwork is all" Celestia explained. She then noticed a familiar Gecko. "Chet! It is good to see you again!"
"It is good to see you too, Principal Celestia. How're you holding up after our experience with the Dream Eater?"
"Oh I've been able to sleep better, thanks to you, Twilight, and Shine Boy. Well, I better get going if I ever want to get paperwork done today. You all have fun now."
"We will." Sunset waved as Celestia headed to the school.
"Augh! Did they decide to have brunch instead?" Rainbow Dash grumbled.
"I'm sure Twi would have told us if anything came up" Applejack assured her.
"Yeah. and besides, it's only 9:30! We've been waiting for a half hour." Pinkie grinned.
"That long?" Rainbow groaned.
"Here we are!"
The girls and Chet look to see Twilight and Spike coming to them. After greeted, Twilight embraced Starlight.
"It is good to see you again, Starlight Glimmer!" She said.
"It's always good to see you too, Twilight!" Starlight smiled.
Twilight then embraced Chet. "And I'm happy to see you too, Chet."
"Same to you, Twilight." Chet smiled as he petted Spike on the head.
"What kept you?" Rainbow asked.
"I have some wonderful news!" Twilight smiled trying to keep her excitement hidden.
"Well, don't keep us in suspense." Sunset teased.
"Principal Cadence and Shining Armor are gonna have a baby! I'm gonna be an aunt!"
The girls cheered as they congradulated Twilight. Starlight and Chet smiled, knowing the baby that will soon come.
"They gave me some stuff they were getting rid of, including this!"
Twilight held up the necklace as the girls awed at it, especially Rarity.
"What a stunning necklace! Twilight, would you mind-?"
"Not at all, Rarity! I was actually gonna give it to you. Here, try it on!"
Rarity got all giddy as she accepted the necklace and put it around her neck.
Pinkie got a closer look. "Ooo! That part in the middle looks like it moves!"
"It does." Rarity gasped.
Rarity touches what appeared to be dial and moved it slowly. Before the girls could do anything, a blinding light came from the necklace which sent The girls and Chet through the light. Everyone was screaming as they fell. Then, When they landed, they saw were in a beach near a forest.
"Everyone okay?" Sunset asked, as she looked around. Everyone groaned showing they were alright.
"Where are we?" Rainbow wondered looking around.
Starlight checked herself to make sure she wasn't a pony again. "definitely not Equestria."
Chet was looking around himself. "This kind of reminds me of my island home."
"Island?" the girls gasped.
"No! Why are we in the middle of nowhere! Why couldn’t we be sent to the mahahahall?" Rarity whined, as she kept turning the dial on the necklace hoping it could take them back home.
"It's lovely here" Fluttershy smiled.
"I have a bad feeling about this." Applejack feared.
"Kinda mysterious." Pinkie said.
Twilight gasped. "a mysterious island."
"Something you know?" Starlight asked.
Twilight explains to the girls and Chet about what Cadence told her.
"So we find this guardian and see if he has the means to get us home. No pressure." Sunset concluded.
"well then. Let’s go." Chet said and They all set out to find the guardian and way home.
Meanwhile, they did not know they were being watched. A rat the size of Chet with brown fur wearing a red vest noticed them and hurried to another rat his size with grey fur wearing a purple vest and both wore a hat with a horn.
The tan rat spoke. "Hey Rutter, looks like we have company!"
"Who is it, Gutter?" the grey one asked.
"Looks like a couple girls and an iguana in a coat."
"Let's go see!"
The two scurry to a tree and see the girls and Chet walking along the woods.
"Rutter, you ding dong! That's a gecko! Not an Iguana!"
"Sorry. I just noticed he had green skin." Rutter sighed then gasped. "Hey Gutter! Look at the fancy one!"
Gutter looks towards Rarity and sees the necklace. "Say, isn't that the necklace the new boss wanted us to find?"
"No doubt about it! She might actually reward us! Let's go!"
As the Rainbooms, Starlight, and Chet continued, Rarity continued to gripe.
"It's bad enough we deal with Equestrian magic on a regular basics! Now a beautiful necklace lands me in the middle of nowhere. I don't know what could be more worse."
As if answering her question, Out from the bushes, the two rats pop out, causing the girls to scream, especially Rarity at the sight of the giant rats.
"Hiya" Rutter greeted them.
"Um......hello?" Fluttershy waved.
"I take you're the welcome wagon?" Applejack glared.
"Who are you and what do you want?" Chet demanded, reaching for his swords.
"Of course! Where are my manners? My names Rutter and this is my brother, Gutter."
"Hi! Sorry we have to take you all prisoner."
The girls' eyes shrink hearing that.
"Sorry, cheese breath! Not happening!" Rainbow growled.
"Sorry. Master's orders."
Rutter suddenly looked up. "Hey look! A vortex!"
"Very funny, Rutter, even I don't buy that!"
"No really! a vortex!"
Sure enough, he was right. a vortex had opened up above them.
"Think it's the boss?" Gutter asked.
"Maybe it's our pay in advance!" Rutter gleefully said.
Out from the vortex, four figures dropped on top of each other between the rats and the girls, including a familiar one in red.
"Oh it’s just Shine Boy and his pep squad." Rutter answered uninterested.
"Oh" Gutter said unamused before the two looked at each other in fear.
"Shine Boy?!"
Without any second thought, the two ran away in fear. After they left, Chet walked up close to the four piled figures as the top one regained consciousness. Sure enough, It was their friend, Shine Boy.
Shine Boy happily embraced the girls and bro hugged Chet.
"Oh! Shine Boy! It is so good to see you again!" Pinkie Smiled as hugged Shine Boy squeezing him.
"G-great to see you again, Pinkie." Shine Boy grunted until she finally released him.
"Are we ever glad to see you!" Twilight said.
"You really came just in time!" Rarity sighed.
"I have a habit of doing that." Shine Boy said before noticing a new face in the group. "And who's your new addition?"
Applejack brought Starlight over. "Shine Boy, This here's Starlight Glimmer."
"Starlight is from my world, Equestria. She is the protege of Princess Twilight." Chet added.
"Pleased to meet you." Shine Boy smiled as he shook Starlight's hand.
"Pleased to meet you, too. Chet told me a lot about you."
"And he told me about you as well."
Starlight cringed, afraid of knowing her past. "How much?"
"Only part I care about. Which is that you are a good friend."
Starlight sighed in relief when she heard that.
Fluttershy noticed the three other figures coming around. "Are they with you?"
Rainbow Dash gasped. "Are they-"
Shine Boy looked and smiled. "Yep. These are my friends I mentioned the last time I saw you. Meet my team." as he presented his friends to the others.
One was a younger boy who resembled Shine Boy only wearing ski goggles and a blue shirt with green short sleeves. He wore green fingerless glove with computerized gauntlets, black pants, and blue metal boots. He wore a yellow belt with a shoulder strap with a katana sword on his back with a 'G' for a belt buckle. There was a yellow G on his left side of his shirt.
"This is my younger brother, Gamer."
"Pleased to make your aquaintances." Gamer greeted.
Next was a teenage girl with black hair. Her shirt was warm pink with a diamond insignia with the initials 'S,H, and G. She wore bright pink gloves, mint green pants with a yellow belt, white knee high boots, and a yellow cape. On her eyes was a red mask.
"This is Shine Girl."
"Hello there." waved Shine Girl.
And finally was the tallest of them all. He wore a battlesuit over a blue suit. The helmet had a visor covering his eyes. The blasters were shaped like hearts and on the chest piece was an insignia with a heart with a star implosion behind it.
"And finally, Love Shine."
"Hi." Love Shine smiled.
"Guys, meet the Rainbooms. Twilight Sparkle, her dog Spike, Sunset Shimmer, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, and Fluttershy. And This is Chetcheki Chan Gecko and Starlight Glimmer from Equestria."
The Rainbooms greet the newcomers.
"So can we see their secret identities too?" Rainbow asked all giddy.
"Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Do you realize your question?" Gamer asked before Shine Boy put his hand on Gamer's shoulder.
"It's okay, Gamer." Shine Boy took off his mask, revealing his secret identity of Tony Bedding. "They know. They can be trusted."
"we Pinkie promised" Pinkie added.
Gamer looked to the others as they nodded and took off their masks.
"Gamer is my younger brother, Michael while Kyla Parks is Shine Girl."
"You have Beautiful eyes." Fluttershy complimented Kyla.
"Thank you."
Love Shine removed his helmet, revealing his dark brown hair and blue eyes. Rarity and Rainbow look in awe as they gazed at the sight.
"And I'm Brandon Rohl."
As the heroes put their masks back on, Sunset decided to ask the question. "So how did you get here? It can't be coincidence that you guys show up here."
Shine Boy pondered. "Well, It started back in Columbus when it was a beautiful Saturday morning so we decided to get breakfast before going on patrol. It was only after we ate when we got a call from the Police that the jewelry store downtown......"
(an hour earlier)
Shine Boy, Gamer, Love Shine, and Shine Girl battled the villains robbing the jewelry store. One of the villain looked like a robot with a robot eye cover his entire face. Another was a teenage girl wearing purple tights fighting with a tessen. There was one where he looked like a music conductor with a mask. and the other was dressed as a raider.
Gamer faced the robot and unsheathes his sword. "Why don't you get a brain, Deactivation?"
"Only when they pay for not reconizing my genius!" Deactivation boasted as his hand became a buzzsaw.
Shine Girl was battling the teenage girl. "Give up, Violet Snow! These crimes will never impress Shine Boy!"
"You're just jealous that Shine Boy will never fall for you, Brat!" Violet Snow declared and she struck Shine Girl with her Tessen only to be blocked by Shine Girl's metal baton.
The conductor held out an instruction wand with shot sonic waves at Love Shine who endured the blast. "Now you will fall by the new masterpiece of Miestro Von Destructo!"
"I bet that's a smash." Love Shine muttered.
Shine boy fought with his staff against the raider.
"Again we fight as the warriors we are!" bellowed Raider.
"And yet you steal like the pirate you are!" Shine Boy declared.
Thankfully, the four defeated the villains and cuffed them to the police. As the police carried the villains off, Shine Boy and his friends watched on top of the roof.
"Now that's a way to start a Saturday!" Shine Boy chuckled.
"We sure showed them!" Love Shine Smiled as he high fived Shine Girl.
Gamer sat on the ledge. "And I can watch some Saturday morning cartoons!" He pulled up a moniter and pushed a button. "Hmm. That's odd."
"What's up, bro?"
"Something's blocking my satilite connection!" Gamer stated as he noticed his screen is showing static. Before he could fix it, a vortex opened and swallowed the heroes.
"And the next thing I knew, we arrived here and see you all." Shine Boy concluded as he looked around. "And I take it we're not in Canterlot?"
"Fraid not." Applejack sighed.
"But we have a lead." Sunset said and the girls explained the whole story of the guardian of the island. The four pondered this and then faced the Rainbooms.
"Well it looks like we have nowhere to go and who are we to turn down friends in need."
The Rainbooms cheer happy to hear the news. Rarity then hugs Love Shine's arm. "you know I could use a strong bodyguard like you, love."
Before Love Shine could say anything, Rainbow grabs his other arm. "Are you kidding? He needs help protecting this group!" She then whispers to Love Shine. "Please tell me you need a sidekick."
"We have plenty of protection, Rainbow Dash! He will be my personal guard." Rarity stated, tugging on Love Shine's arm.
"Please! We need Love Shine in case those rats show up!" Rainbow glared.
"All the more reason he should protect me!"
Everyone watched in confusion as the two argue over Love Shine.
"Does this happen a lot to your friend?" Chet asked Shine Boy.
Shine Boy sighed. "On a regular basis."
Gamer smirked. "I tell you it’s his body structure."
As the group finally heads out, Rutter and Gutter watched from the bushes.
"If Shine Boy's helping them, This could be trouble!" Gutter said.
"We better tell the boss!" Rutter declared.
--------
On another part of the island was a makeshift fortress from rubble of a castle. In it were three beings surrounded by supplies and trinkest. One was a woman with a gold plated eyepatch over her left eye with a red cape, dress, and leather boots and gloves. Another was a muscular man with long hair and a black cape over his shirtless body. The other was a young boy about twelve years old with a cape as well sharpening a sword. The woman smiled at the man.
"Tell me, Mortar, How do I look?" she asked as she puts her arms on him.
Mortar smiled at her. "You look maliciously evil, Reva, my love."
"And what of you, Lance?"
The boy only looked up, hardly smiling. "Uncle Motar speaks the truth, My Aunt."
Then there was a knock.
"Come in" called Reva.
Entering the door were Rutter and Gutter.
"Hiya, boss!" Gutter greeted.
"And uh boss!" Rutter nervously looking at Mortar.
Reva smiled at the two rats as walked to them. "Rutter and Gutter. I trust you bring good news."
Rutter smiled. "Oh! We do! We do! We found that necklace you were looking for."
Reva's smile turned to a frown as she violently grabbed Rutter by the neck. "YOU'VE DONE WHAT? Where is it?"
As she dropped him, Rutter had to catch his breath for a moment. "It's on a- It's on a fancy female. Mortar can bring it up."
"For you're sake, you better be right!" Mortar growled as he held up a large crystal that glew and showed an image of the Rainbooms, Chet, Starlight, and Team Shine traveling. Reva eyed the necklace around Rarity's neck.
"That's it! The necklace of the Guardian who helped banished us!"
"When we get it, we can finally go home!" Mortar grinned before he notice Chet. "That gecko! He's from Equestria!"
"All the more better." Reva deviously smiled. "I've been away from Equestria for far too long!"
Reva started to laugh followed by everyone else except Lance.
As they all walked among the forest area of the island, Sunset and Fluttershy told Shine Boy about Rutter and Gutter.
"It sounded like they knew you and your team. Do you know them?" Sunset asked.
"We do." Shine Boy sighed. "They used to work for a Sorcerer who tried to conquer reality. Gamer and I defeated him by sending him to another realm. When Rutter and Gutter jumped in, I thought they joined him. I guess the portal sent them here. The good news is they're not much of a threat without their boss."
"They mentioned their boss. You think the sorcerer is here?" Fluttershy trembled.
"Either that or they found a new boss." Shine Boy pondered.
As the group proceeded, Chet jumped down from a tree.
"Find anything?" Sunset asked.
"There's an old castle like structure over to the right." Chet pointed.
"At this point, anything is worth a try." Shine Boy nodded as they all headed to the direction Chet pointed.
--------
Meanwhile, Mortar is searching through his supplies for items.
"Uh about that reward-" Rutter started before Reva stopped.
"You will get it once the necklace is in MY possession!" she growled before she turned Mortar sweetly. "Dearest, are we able to locate them?"
"I will have the teleportation spell ready. First I gotta find the bat wing! Never around when you need them!" Mortar explained as he continued to search.
"Why not just ask the girl for the necklace?" Lance asked
Reva chuckled as she walked up to Lance. "Oh Lance Lance Lance. I'm through being nice. Being nice is what got us betrayed and banished from our home in Equestria! But now we will find our way home and have our revenge!"
Lance sighed. "As you wish, my aunt."
---------
Meanwhile, The Rainbooms, Starlight, Team Shine, and Chet arrived at the castle ruins. Shine Boy snuck in to check for guards or threats.
"It's okay." he whispered.
Everyone quietly walked in. Rarity held Love Shine's arm for precaution while Rainbow glared at the sight.
"Ooo!" Echoed Pinkie.
"Shhhh!" whispered everyone.
As they continued, they gazed in awe of what appeared to be the throne room.
"Whoa" Starlight gasped.
"The guardian lives here?" questioned Shine Girl.
"Look at the throne." gasped Applejack. "That guardian must be one tall drink of water!"
Gamer walked up to the throne and climbed to the seat noticed something.
"Hey guys! Look at the seat!" he said.
Twilight looked closely at the seat and gasped. "He's right! the decor looks like a drawer!"
She pulled on it and with Sunset's help pulled out the drawer as everyone looked inside.
--------
As they looked it the drawer, they were being watched through Meltar's crystal.
"Perfect! They're all together!" Reva smirked as Mortar concocked a spell.
"Roach Antenna! Quiet Bat wing! Husk from dried corn! Cream wood! Broom straw! Harshness from an old crow's nose! When the word now fills the air, Take us all From here to there!"
Back at the ruins, Gamer pulled out a giant tablet.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOW!"
------------
Before long, Reva, Mortar, Lancer, Rutter, and Gutter appeared in front of the group. Shrieking, Rarity jumped into Love Shine's arms as the villains cornered them.
"Who are they?" Sunset asked Shine Boy.
"I recognize Rutter and Gutter. The other three I don't know."
"Give me that necklace, little girl!" Reva demanded.
"It's my necklace!" Rarity shouted.
"That wasn't a choice! That necklace is mine!" Reva demanded more.
"You should be ashamed of yourself! Coming out of nowhere and scaring people stealing from them!"
"Nyah-Nyah-Nyah! Give me that necklace right now!" Reva reached to grab the necklace only for Shine Girl to swat her hand with her baton.
"Back off!" she demanded.
Reva growled before charging at Shine Girl while Shine Boy fought Mortar one on one and Gamer clashed with Lance. Rutter and Gutter charged after the girls, But when Chet blocked them and drew his swords, they ran away screaming. Chet shrugged and helped Shine Boy with Mortar.
"We gotta help them!" Rainbow said.
"But how?" Fluttershy asked.
Twilight looked up to see vines on the pillars. "The vines!" She cried as she used her geodes to levitated them. Mortar was about to overpower Shine Boy and Chet when Spike bit his foot.
"Dumb mutt!" he growled, but this distracted him long enough for the vines to ensnare him.
as Reva was also being ensnared by the vines, Shine Girl hurried off only for Reva to grab her by the hair. Seeing this, Fluttershy threw a stone at Reva, causing her to release her.
"Sorry." Fluttershy said softly.
"Thanks" Shine Girl said to her.
Gamer and Lance were evenly matched sword for sword until Gamer threw a smoke bomb at Lance disorienting him long enough for Applejack to lasso him up. Gamer gave Applejack a thumb up. When Rutter and Gutter popped out of their hiding spot, they saw Love Shine and Rainbow Dash towering above them with Love Shine cracking his knuckles. They quickly bound them and threw them to the rest of the villains.
"Quick! Let's get outta here!" Starlight called, near the door.
"Get Back Here!" Reva shouted as the heroes ran out the ruins. "My. Necklace!"
After facing Reva, Mortar, Lance, Rutter, and Gutter, The Rainbooms, Team Shine, Starlight, and Chet ran into the woods until they ran far enough.
"I think we're safe for now." Shine Boy sighed.
"But we're nowhere near finding the guardian." Twilight cried. "We're back to square one!"
"Not quite" Gamer stated as he pulled out the tablet from earlier. "I salvaged this from that throne drawer. Once glance from it and look what I found."
Everyone gathered Gamer as he held out the tablet. "It looks like a map."
"A map of the entire island!" Rainbow gasped.
Sunset studied the map and noticed some marked areas. "It looks like those marked areas might help us find the location of the Guardian and through him our way home!"
"It's like a scavenger hunt!" Pinkie cheered.
"Hopefully, it won't be long." Rarity stated.
"Well then let's go!" Chet declared
Spike looked at the map and looked overwhelmed. "What have we got to loose?"
---------
The group started to search around the forest and follow the map's instructions. During the search, Rarity faked herself tripping a log to land on Love Shine only to land on Gamer instead, earning a laughing Rainbow Dash. Twilight, holding on to the map, pointed to a passageway, but when Pinkie Pie entered, she almost ended up falling down a slope only to be pulled back by..... Pinkie? Anywho, Twilight double checked the map and realized she was holding it upside down and nervously pointed in the other direction while the others looked irked. Chet checked up in the trees, scouting ahead. Rainbow tried to embrace Love Shine only to end up hugging Pinkie. Rarity chuckled as Rainbow ran from Pinkie who wanted to hug her back. Fluttershy and Shine Girl were using this time to get to know each other more. Sunset and Shine Boy smiled at the sight of the growing friendship.
----------
Meanwhile, further ahead, Rutter and Gutter were covering themselves with leaves.
"You know the plan, Gutter?" Rutter asked.
"Yeah. When those guys show up, we jump on that girl and grab her necklace!" Gutter nodded.
"This'll really please the boss! Quick! Hand me more leaves and stay low."
---------
Back at the team, Chet landed near them after scouting around.
"Looks like the coast is clear." he reported.
"Okay. Let's keep moving." Shine Boy stated.
Twilight then realized someone was missing. "Wait. Where's Spike?"
"He wasn't too far behind" Starlight recalled.
"Spike! You coming?" Twilight called as the group progressed. "What's wrong?"
What the group didn't know was something was wrong with Spike. He was panting like crazy, feeling hot, and barely able to keep his eyes open.
"Oh! It's nothing, Twilight!" He called back.
The group then came to a place covered in leaves. As they came near a huge pile, Rarity stepped on Gutter's tail, causing him to scream, exposing him and Rutter.
"You hear that?" Applejack asked.
Gamer spotted the rats behind Rarity. "Rarity! Behind you! It's Rutter and Gutter! Run!"
Rarity looked to see the rats and screamed as she ran near Love Shine. Before the rats could chase her, Shine Boy threw a smoke bomb, diorienting them.
"RUN!" he shouted.
"This way!" Sunset pointed and they all ran.
"Get back here!" Rutter called, but it was too late. By the time the smoke cleared, they were long gone. "Why'd you scream like that?"
"She stepped on my tail!"
"Ouch! That had to hurt."
Before long, the group had stopped running to catch their breaths.
"Everyone okay?" Shine Boy asked.
Twilight looked around to notice something's missing. "I don't see Spike anywhere. Anyone see him?"
"I thought he was behind us." Gamer stated.
"We better go find him." Fluttershy worried.
"Twilight! Over here!"
Everyone looked to see Chet carrying Spike as he showed them the dog's condition.
"Oh Spike!" Gasped Twilight as she felt his forehead. "You're burning up!"
"I don't look too bad" panted Spike.
"Fluttershy, Can you help him?"
"Not without the right medication, Twilight."
"But we need to help Spikey Wikey!" Rarity begged.
Gamer double checked the map. "Guys! I think I found something! According to the map, there's a place on a beach nearby said to have healing magic."
"It's our only hope! It's Spike's only hope." Sunset stated.
Wearily, Spike begged. "Guys, I'm fine. We need to find the guardian!"
Twilight answered by taking Spike in her arms. "No Spike. Before I met any of our friends, you were all I had. I'm not loosing you."
Shine Boy placed his hand on Twilight. "We're not loosing him. Gamer, which way?"
"This way. Shouldn't be too far."
"Then let's go." Chet lead the way as the others followed him.
-----------
"And now they're heading to the north of the island." Rutter reported to Mortar through a crystal.
"Continue to follow them." Mortar ordered as he shut off his crystal.
The Rainbooms, Team Shine, Starlight, and Chet double timed it to make it to the beach to find the magic place to heal Spike with Twilight leading the way while carrying the dog. Twilight has showed no signs of stopping for she was worried about her dog the most. Shine Boy, Chet, and Sunset were right behind her trying to help comfort her while worried about Spike as well.
"Gamer, how much farther do we have?" Shine Boy asked.
Gamer, panting, caught up to the front and pulled out the map. "It shouldn't be too far. We should be nearing Force Bridge and then straight to the water's edge."
"Is that it?" Starlight pointed.
It was a long bridge connected to two very deep cliffs with nothing but water at the bottom.
"Yeah. that be it." Gamer stated.
"Oh! It doesn't look safe." feared Fluttershy.
"For Spike, I'm willing to take that risk!" Twilight demanded.
"We ain't backing down on him either, sugarcube." Appleback assured.
"N-no.... Not gonna put.... you all....in..danger." Spike mumbled
"But Spike-" Twilight worried.
"I-I'm okaaaaaaaaay." Spike fainted in Twilight's arms.
"SPIKE!" Twilight gasped.
"We're running out of time!" Sunset declared.
"Come on!" Chet called and they pressed on.
Soon, they were right at the start of the bridge. Chet and Gamer examined it.
"Looks sturty enough." Chet figured.
"I calculate we have a 75% chance we'll make it across" Gamer calculated.
"Forget about me..... find...guardian" Spike moaned
"No, Spike. We're not abandoning you. We're going end of discussion!" Twilight stated.
Suddenly, before anyone could cross, Who should appear but Reva, Mortar, and Lance.
"Don't tell me you kids were going to cross without super vision!" mocked Reva.
"Anywhere to get away from you!" snapped Rarity.
"And it looks like we got a rodent problem." Applejack added as she caught Rutter and Gutter poking their heads from behind a rock.
Gamer stepped up. "Everybody get across! I'll hold them off!"
"I'll help!" Pinkie declared.
"Chet! You help Twilight get Spike across! Everyone else go! I'll take the rear!" Shine Boy ordered.
Everybody began to cross the bridge trying to hurry but also being careful too. Rainbow stepped on a board only for it to break on her. Luckily, Love Shine grabbed her before she fell and helped her up. Suddenly, one of the bridge's ends snapped, causing the bridge to tilt. Everyone struggled to hang on. Twilight struggled the hardest because one hand was holding on to the rope and the other one was holding Spike. Luckily, Chet used his tail to help her across. Fluttershy was stuck in fear.
Shine Girl noticed this and extended her hand. "Fluttershy! give me your hand!"
Fluttershy tried to reach, but before she could grab it, the wood she held broke causing her to fall and scream.
"FLUTTERSHY!" Everyone cried.
Quickly, Shine Girl grabbed a cable from her belt and threw it at Fluttershy, tying around her waist catching her. When Applejack made her way across, she used her super strength to pull up the fallen end of the bridge, evening it out for the others to get across while Sunset and Shine Boy hurried and helped Shine Girl pull Fluttershy back up.
Meanwhile, Gamer and Pinkie stood there as the villains got closer.
"Get them!" Reva demanded.
But before they could seize the two, Gamer and Pinkie pulled out cameras and started to flash the villains, blinding them.
"Look at the birdie!" Gamer grinned.
"I'm lovin it! lovin it!" Pinkie cried as she posed while flashing.
Rutter and Gutter posed for the pictures.
"Make sure you get my good side!" Gutter added.
Back on the bridge, Shine Girl and Sunset joined the others across the bridge, helping and comforting Fluttershy across with Shine Boy not far behind. Seeing that everyone made it as he came across, Shine Boy called out to Gamer and Pinkie on the other side.
"Gamer! Pinkie! We all made it! Hurry!"
Gamer and Pinkie stopped and hurried onto the bridge. Gamer looked back at the villains.
"FYI There's no film in the camera!"
As Gamer went across behind Pinkie, Reva growled as she went on the bridge, but not before stopping Rutter from going before her.
"Back off, Plague head! I'm gonna cross first!"
"Okay! I just remembered. I hate heights."
"Then stay here!" Mortar ordered as he followed Reva on the bridge.
Pinkie was able to get across okay, but Gamer got his foot stuck on a step and was struggling to get free as Reva and Mortar were coming closer.
"Gamer!" Shine Boy cried.
"We got him now, Mortar!" Reva laughed.
"He won't get far." Mortar chuckled.
But before they could grab him, Shine Boy and Pinkie called out to them.
"Back away from my brother!" Shine Boy demanded.
"And just what are you gonna do about it?" Reva smirked
"I'll blow up the bridge!" Pinkie shouted, holding up her sprinkles.
"You're bluffing! You'll blow up your friend!" Mortar laughed.
Shine Boy nodded to Gamer, signaling him, and he nodded.
"Do it, Pinkie! I'm not worth it!" he called.
"What"? Reva and Mortar gasped.
"You have the count of three to get off the bridge! One!"
As Pinkie began to count, Shine Boy shot a cable to Gamer, pulling him to the other side, freeing his leg.
"Two!"
"Oh she's serious! I'm getting outta here!" Reva cried as she and Mortar ran back to the other side.
"Two and a half! Three! Sprinkles Ahoy!"
Reva and Mortar made it back just as Pinkie threw her sprinkles blowing up the bridge.
"You alright, Bro?" Shine Boy asked.
"Yeah Thanks" smiled Gamer.
"Okay, Let's get to that spot to help-" Twilight stopped as Spike slid down shutting his eyes slowly. "Spike? Spike!"
----------
Meanwhile, Reva wasn't happy with her defeat.
"WHY DIDN'T YOU DO SOMETHING?" she bellowed.
"Hey we were following orders." Rutter stated
"Yeah you told us to stay put." Gutter agreed.
"SILENCE! You buck toothed, manicure needing pests!" Suddenly, Reva thought of something. "Buck tooth...... Nails. Lance, go fetch that rope. I think we'll get across after all." she chuckled.
-----------
Meanwhile, The team made a strecher for Spike out of Shine Boy's cape, Gamer's sheathed sword, and Shine Girl's baton.
"There. That outta do it." Shine Boy said as he and Chet carefully set Spike on the stretcher.
"Careful." Twilight pleaded.
"We will" Chet assured her. Then both lifted the stretcher and carried him while the others followed
----------
Back with the villains, Reva had Mortar tie the rope around Rutter and Gutter's waists. Then Lance pointed to the other side.
"They're getting away!"
"Alright. I'll fling you both over on the count of three." Mortar instructed the rats.
"Okay"
"Ready."
Mortar grabbed the other end of the rope and started to swing them around.
"One!"
"I forgot my fear of heights!"
"Two!"
"Hey Rutter! I can see the base from here!"
"Three!"
Mortar then threw the rats to the other side where they grab the ledge with their teethes having a firm grip.
"AW amoard tht gooing athore" Rutter called with his mouth full.
The Rainbooms, Starlight, Team Shine, and Chet hurried to the water's edge while Shine Boy and Chet carried Spike on their makeshift stretcher. They soon arrived a part of the waterfront that had pillar like structures.
"This looks like the place." Gamer said.
"Let's set Spike down." Sunset said.
Shine Boy and Chet carefully set Spike down as Twilight leaned to the dog's ear.
"Spike? Can you hear me?" She grew sadder when the dog didn't answer. "He's not answering. He's not even moving."
Fluttershy held up her hand full of sand near Spike's mouth. "He's not breathing, Twilight."
"I'm not getting a pulse." Gamer said, checking Spike for a pulse.
Everyone grew sadder when they heard that.
Meanwhile, Back at the bridge, Reva, Mortar, and Lance were climbing the rope while Rutter and Gutter were holding on to the ledge with their teeth.
Mortar was in deep wonder. "What bother's me is wondering how those girls learned of Equestria."
"What bothers me is how tiring this is!" panted Reva. "But it'll be worth it once we have that necklace and return to Equestria."
"Well at the rate we're going, they'll be gone!" Lance snapped.
"Uh could you guysh hurray ut?" Rutter called.
"Yeah. we cun't holt you gosh all duh" Gutter mentioned.
But The villains didn't seem to listen as they bicker amongst themselves.
"I told you never to talk back to me in that tone, young man!" Reva snapped back.
"Can't we have this talk when we get across?" Mortar asked.
"You stay out of this!"
As the villains argued, the rope kept being tugged and began to tightened Rutter around the waist.
"Thut smertz!" he cried.
"What you fray, Rutter?" Gutter asked.
"I said That smarts." Rutter answered, unaware he pulled out his teeth losing his grip from the ledge. Gutter soon lost his grip as well and all the villains fell into the water below.
"Yeah Well while we're here, could you pass my rubber duckie?" Gutter asked.
-------------
Meanwhile, Back with the group, The others didn't know what to do to help Spike.
"Maybe it takes a while?" Gamer asked, trying to be positive.
"I'm unsure." Sunset worried.
It wasn't enough to relieve anyone. Rarity cried as both she and Rainbow Dash embraced Love Shine. Fluttershy was in tears as Shine Girl could only put her hand on her shoulder. Pinkie held Gamer bawling while her hair deflated while Gamer tried to hide his face of remorse.Even Starlight couldn't hide her tears. Twilight walked and sat on the sand and cried. Shine Boy, Sunset, and Chet followed her and Sunset and Shine Boy sat by her while Chet took off his hat.
"Twilight. I'm sorry." Sunset said.
"He was there from the very beginning. Even when Cadence couldn't be there, Spike always cheered me up." Twilight reminced before falling in tears. "Why didn't I help him earlier? He would still be alive!"
"Twilight." Shine Boy said, putting his hand on Twilight's shoulder. "I understand your pain. You wish you could've prevented this. But this is something we can't avoid forever. No matter how hard it gets."
"Does the pain ever go away?"
"I wish I could say yes." Chet said. "It's one of the burdens I live with every day from loosing my parents."
Twilight looked at the ocean as the others gathered around. "Spike was the most loving, cheerful, sweet dog I ever loved. It'll never be the same."
Shine Boy sighed. "No. It won't."
Unknown to them, Spike was glowing. After the glowing stopped, Spike got up and feeling much better. Seeing the group, he walked over to them.
"Hey, what's wrong?" he asked Shine Boy.
"Oh hey Spike. We're just sorry what happened to-" Shine Boy soon realized who he was talking to while everyone perked up as well.
"Spike!" everyone cheered as they gathered around him.
Twilight embraced him the most. "Oh Spike! I thought I-"
"Told ya I'll be okay" Spike smiled.
"Oh! Spikey Wikey!" Rarity kissed him like crazy.
"Welcome back, sugarcube." Applejack said.
"It worked! He's ALIVE!" Pinkie cheered as her hair puffed back up and tightly squeezed Gamer.
"Pinkie! You're hugging..... too hard!" Gamer struggled.
"Heh. No I'm not!"
Thankfully, Pinkie let Gamer go as Sunset patted his shoulder.
"Good work, Gamer." She said.
Gamer smiled. "Well to be honest, I gambled. Seeing what we've been through, I was hoping for the magic to help Spike."
"Well, The important thing is that Spike's okay!" Starlight smiled.
"Spike's okay!" Twilight gleefully hugged Spike.
"Yeah I'm Okay!" Spike pronounced.
"Now we can find the guardian and go home together!" Rainbow declared.
"Sounds good!" Chet smiled as the group continued on.
Lance was in the forest by the beach checking his sword. After falling from the bridge, The villains swam to the nearest shore. While Lance got out first, Reva and Mortar worked on getting dried off while having a grown up talk. Reva was still steamed at Lance for snapping at her earlier. Lance stormed off to be alone. Reva needed to be away from him as well.
The Rainbooms, Team Shine, Starlight, and Chet were in the area when they spotted Lance.
"It's that boy from the villains." Gamer whispered.
"If we get the jump on him, we can get some answers." Sunset suggested.
"I'll go." Chet volunteered as he drew his sword.
Chet snuck around and neared Lance. Before he could strike however, Lance pointed his sword at the Gecko.
"You're quick. I'll give you that." Lance commented.
"So are you. But I'm resourceful!" Chet quickly used his tail to disarm Lance. As the group gathered, Lance held his hands up, showing he surrendered.
"You got me. What do you want from me?"
"We want answers. Why are you people after us?" Rainbow demanded.
"Other than after my necklace!" Rarity added.
"Um Does anyone realize we never asked his name?" Fluttershy pointed out.
"My name is Lance. I will answer your question if you spare me."
Chet looked to Shine Boy who nodded to put his sword away while giving Lance his blade back.
"Thank you." Lance sheathed his sword to show he'll cooperate. "The reason my aunt and uncle is after your necklace is because with it we can use it to go home. You are familiar with Equestria?"
Everyone gasped. "You're from Equestria?" Sunset asked.
"My Aunt Reva told me she and Uncle Mortar were betrayed by someone who had plans to conquer the land."
"Who?" Starlight asked.
"She refuses to say who. All I know is that because of them, Princess Celestia, along with this Guardian, used the Elements of Harmony to banish us all from Equestria. I was only a filly when we were banished. While we don't know the whereabouts of the traitor, we were banished on this island where we learned about the guardian and been looking for the necklace since."
"That's terrible." Fluttershy said.
"Take me with you."
"What?" everyone was shocked.
"I want to find the guardian with you and help you get home. I personally want to go home, but my aunt and uncle are bent on revenge."
"How do we know this isn't a trick?" Gamer glared.
"I'm telling the truth!"
"I know how to find out." Sunset said as she grabbed Lance's hand, reading his mind with her geode powers. It was just as Lance explained it how they were banished from Equestria and everything.
"Well?" Shine Boy asked as Sunset regained conscious.
"It's true." She gasped. "He really is telling the truth."
They soon heard Reva screaming after tripping from Rutter.
"Please! my aunt and uncle will be coming any moment!"
"I believe him." Shine Boy stated.
"So do I" Chet agreed.
"Then we're all agreed?" Sunset asked and everyone agrees. "Then let's go!" And they all hurried, Lance included.
----------
Meanwhile, Reva walks up, still wet.
"That's the last time I let Rutter and Gutter hang ten" she snorted. "Lance! Lance?"
Reva looked around realizing Lance's footprints and a few more prints. Mortar showed up with Rutter and Gutter.
"What happened?" Mortar asked.
"Lance is gone! And I think I know what happened." Reva gritted as she turned to Rutter and Gutter. "Find them! Find Lance!"
"Yes Boss!"
"Leaving!"
Reva's angered face turned to sorrow. "We have to find him, Mortar. He's the only family we have!"
"We will, my love. we will" Mortar glared at the sight.
After Lance offered his services to them, The heroes continued their journey. Rarity was complaining about hurting her feet so she insisted Love Shine would carry her, much to the annoyance of Rainbow Dash. Soon, the heroes came to a dried up river.
"So you three are from Equestria too?" Lance asked Sunset, Starlight, and Chet.
"Yeah. I left because I wanted power until I was shown the errors of my ways" Sunset sighed.
"While Chet and I were visiting." Starlight added.
"What is Equestria like these days?"
"While there are those who still do harm, Twilight has been helping unite other creatures by making a school of friendship." Chet explained
"It..... must be nice to have friends." Lance muttered.
Shine Boy noticed the depressed look on the boy's face. "Not many friends, huh?"
"I've around my aunt and Uncle my whole life. And my aunt says friends will betray you." Lance sighed.
"That's not true!" Twilight denied. "True friends will never betray you!"
"You know we can be your friends for helping us." Sunset offered.
"I..... don't know" Lance sighed.
Gamer smiled. "At least think about it."
"Um.... Look what I found." Fluttershy said.
Everyone looked to see her holding what appeared to be a scepter with a blue orb on it.
"Whoa!" Rainbow awed.
"What is that thing?" Applejack asked.
"Duh! It's a scepter!" Pinkie grinned.
"It's beautiful!" Rarity admired.
Gamer used his goggles to analyze it. "It seems harmless enough."
"You feel any different?" Shine Girl asked.
"Oh no. In fact, I kinda feel more happy with it." Fluttershy said.
"You think it belongs to the guardian?" Sunset thought out loud.
"If not, we could give it to him as an offering to get you home." Lance suggested.
"That's a good idea" Chet complemented.
"I like the way you think, Lance." Shine Boy agreed. Lance smiled a little at the compliment.
-----------
Back at the Rubble base, Mortar was trying to get his crystal to work.
"C,mon! Don't fail me now!" he growled.
Suddenly, his crystal flickered, showing the heroes looking at the scepter.
"Well, what do we have here?" He wondered.
Reva frowned. "It those meddlesome brats with that stupid gecko!"
"I wonder what they're up to" Mortar pondered when he noticed another face. "Looks like they added a new face to their party."
Reva looked then gasped. "I don't believe it! It's our nephew Lance! They must've taken him prisoner! We have to save him!"
Mortar glared. "They will pay for whatever torture they put him through!"
-----------
Back at the heroes, Pinkie was entertaining everyone by singing 'If you're happy and you know it' as they progressed on. Lance was happy, never having so much fun in his life. This hasn't gone unnoticed by Shine Boy.
Chet called from up ahead. "All clear up ahead!"
"Yep! Sun's shining and no sign of danger!" Gamer quoted.
Spike then stopped and sniffed around. Then everyone heard a rumbling sound.
Twilight noticed her dog sniffing. "What's up, Spike?"
"I smell water." the dog declared.
"What's that sound?" Love Shine noticed.
"Maybe a storm is coming." feared Fluttershy.
Chet calmed her down. "It's okay, Fluttershy. There's a waterfall ahead."
And sure enough, he was right. the group came to a giant waterfall. Gamer checked the map for directions.
"Where to, Gamer?" Starlight asked.
"We go up the waterfall." Gamer answered.
"We hafta climb up the waterfall?" Applejack asked.
"But we don't have climbing equipment!" Rarity feared.
"No problem. We'll throw our lines and climb them. And if anyone falls, Twilight can use her magic to catch them."
"I'm ready." Twilight saluted.
"Wait." Lance spoke up. "I got an idea."
Shortly after, Lance made a yellow substance with Sunset helping.
"Magic potion 902. Yellow goo!"
"So this stuff works?" Shine Boy asked as he dipped his grappling hook in the goo.
"A little something my uncle taught me. This stuff is stickier than marshmallow cream."
"That's pretty sticky!" Pinkie agreed.
"Here goes!" Shine Boy twirled the hook before throwing it on the ledge and the goo made it able to stick. "Okay. Going up?"
"I'll go first!" Chet volunteered.
Chet made up the ledge easily. Then Applejack climbed up next, followed by Starlight, Twilight who carried Spike, then Gamer, Shine Girl helping Fluttershy, Rainbow who tried to climb fast to impress Love Shine, who wasn't paying attention due to having Rarity on his back, then Pinkie.
As Sunset was next to climb up, All that were left were Shine Boy and Lance. Chet was making sure Sunset was coming up safely when he noticed something behind Shine Boy appearing.
"Shine Boy! Behind you! Look out!"
Shine Boy turned to Reva and Mortar appeared behind him. Reva saw Lance and smile.
"Lance dear! We've come to rescue you!" she gleefully cried.
"But I don't wanna be rescued!" Lance cried.
"Sure you do!"
Shine Boy stood with his staff in hand. "Get going, Lance! I'll hold them off!"
"But-"
"Go!" Seeing that Shine Boy was buying him time, Lance started to climb up while Shine Boy fought his aunt and uncle. He was skilled, but Reva and Mortar overpowered him. The others could watch in horror as Shine Boy was being doubleteamed.
"You'll pay for taking my nephew from me!" Reva cried. But before she and Mortar could finish Shine Boy.
"SHINE POWER!"
A beam of light shot from Shine Boy's insignia, able to repel Reva and Mortar long enough for him to climb up. After Shine Boy's blast wore off, Reva and Mortar could only watch as Shine Boy with Lance climb up the rope.
"Lance! I need you!" Reva shouted before breaking down in tears. This caught Both Shine Boy and Lance's attention.
"She's crying..... for me." Lance whispered.
Shine Boy caught up with Lance on the rope and noticed him hesitating. "If you wish to go back to her, I understand."
Chet and Sunset both noticed Shine Boy's nobility.
"I know I promised, but They are all I have." Lance said, shedding tears.
"Go ahead. I won't stop you. Even if means we'll be enemies again." Shine Boy confirmed.
Lance understood and slid under Shine Boy and drew his sword and cut the rope causing him to fall as he whispered to Shine Boy.
"Thank you."
Shine Boy pretended to reach for Lance as he watched him fall.
Reva noticed and raised her arms to catch him along with Mortar. "We got you, honey! We- We got you! Oh! Lance! My dear nephew!"
"Aunt Reva." Lance whispered.
Shine Boy smiled while he climbed the rest of the way up. Mortar watched him climb up.
"C'mon, Mortar. Let's go." Reva called.
Mortar nodded and followed. Shine Boy climbed up to the top where the others greeted him.
"What happened to Lance?" Applejack asked.
Shine Boy sighed. "He went back to his aunt and uncle."
Everyone either saddened or frowned as they continued their journey. Soon, Shine Boy was left with Sunset and Chet as Sunset walked up to the superhero and put her hand on his shoulder.
"Don't think that didn't go unnoticed" she whispered.
Shine Boy then embraced her crying softly while Chet patted his shoulder.
"You did good, my friend. You did good."
After a bit before breaking, the three hurried to catch up to the others, continuing their journey.
After Shine Boy let Lance return to his aunt and uncle, The Heroes continue their journey to find the guardian. They soon come near flowers that were their size.
"Look at the size of these flowers!" gasped Twilight.
"They're beautiful." admired Fluttershy.
Gamer pulled out an analyzer from his utility belt and scanned a flower. "Well they seem harmless. Some body must know some good fertilizer."
"Whee!" Pinkie was swinging around on one of the flowers.
"We don't have flowers this big in Equestria." Starlight mentioned.
"Now I know how an ant feels." Rainbow said.
"It's nice, but how's one to venture here?" Rarity wondered.
"It ain't that hard." Applejack said.
"Look over there!" Shine Girl pointed.
There was some ruins in the midst of the flowers. There were statues, pillars, and they were around a giant rock.
"Is that part of where we need to go, Gamer?" Shine Boy asked his brother.
Gamer checked the map again. "This is it. According to the map, there's a secret passage way in there."
"I could make an entrance." Love Shine prepared his blaster only for Shine Boy to stop him from firing.
"Lets look around first. We don't wanna make a scene and destroy anything important."
"I'll check the high ground." Chet climbed the rock.
Everyone started to search the ruins. Fluttershy noticed one of statues mouth was open. She noticed there was a tunnel in the mouth.
"I think I found it." She said. But as she crawled in, the mouth suddenly closed in, shutting her in.
"FLUTTERSHY!" Everyone cried.
------------
Meanwhile, back at the waterfall, Rutter and Gutter were climbing up the waterfall.
"I gotta tell you, Gutter, the berries on this island are delish!"
"Yeah, Rutter, That was a good snack break!"
"Well, we gotta make up for the last chapter. According to the boss, they were heading this direction."
"We better get going." Gutter agreed as they pressed forward.
-------------
Back at the ruins, Chet climbed down to where others were trying to save Fluttershy.
"What happened?" he asked.
"Fluttershy entered the passage when it closed up on her!" Sunset panted.
Suddenly, the statue's mouth opened up again as everyone saw Fluttershy all right.
"Guys! Does this count as a secret passage?"
"I'd say this qualifies" Shine Girl answered.
"C'mon! Maybe the guardian is through here." Shine Boy said.
One by one, they all entered in the passage. When she entered, Rarity slid in to land on Love Shine. Just as she started to slide, Rainbow pulled Love Shine away to Rarity's annoyance and fright. Luckily, Chet caught her with his tail. Even though she thanked the gecko, she huffed at Rainbow. Soon, Sunset was the last to enter and they looked around the cavern. It was pretty dark and the only lights were the water ways. Shine Boy turned on the night vision on his mask making it easier to guide the girls.
"This reminds me of the Dream Eater's realm" Twilight whispered to Shine Boy.
"At least he had torches there." Shine Boy remembered.
Spike was sniffing around as they progressed. He then looked up into the next room.
"Look!" he whispered.
Everyone looked in awe at the sight. It was a giant bed with a giant figure sleeping on it peacefully.
"That must be the guardian." whispered Sunset.
"Why are we whispering?" Pinkie whispered.
"We don't wanna wake up the guardian rudely!" Whispered Rainbow.
"And don't want him to wake up in a bad mood!" whimpered Fluttershy.
"Maybe if we give him the scepter, he'll wake up." Gamer hypothesised.
"It's worth a try." Shine Boy agreed as he pulled out the scepter and turned to Fluttershy. "You should give it to him, Fluttershy. After all, you found it."
"What if he gets upset?" Fluttershy whimpered.
"Don't worry. I'll go with you."
"Oh Thank you, Shine Boy." Fluttershy smiled as she took Shine Boy's hand.
The two creeped up to the bed. Fluttershy took a deep breath as she took the scepter. Shine Boy nodded and she walked up.
"Um, Mr. Guardian? If you would please wake up, I have your scepter. You can have it back if you would take us home please."
She put the Scepter by the Guardian. But the Guardian was still asleep.
"HEY! COULD YOU WAKE UP SO YOU CAN SEND US HOME?" Pinkie shouted. But the Guardian was still fast asleep.
"Well, that's a bust." Applejack sighed.
"Now what?" Rainbow wondered.
But before anyone could answer, a new voice bellowed in the room.
The heroes gathered around each other near the Guardian's bed but they couldn't locate the source of the voice. Twilight then spoke up.
"I-I am Twilight Sparkle and these are my friends. We mean no harm. We just came to return The Guardian's scepter to him in exchange to go home!"
"HOW DO I KNOW YOU ARE TRUSTWORTHY?"
Rarity spoke up. "Listen, Whoever you are, we are on this island because of this necklace! So we at least earn the right for an audience!"
"DID YOU SAY NECKLACE?"
Before anyone could answer, a giant claw appeared on Sunset's left shoulder. Everyone looked to see a komodo dragon in gladiator like armor appear.
"I wish to see it" He said in a normal voice.
Rarity shrieked at the sight of the giant lizard. "GIANT LIZARD!"
"It's more than a lizard, Rarity. He's a Komodo Dragon." Gamer said.
"At least somebody knows a Komodo Dragon when they see one" the Komodo Dragon snorted. "I assure you all I mean you no harm. I am Hur. I am a soldier to the Guardian of this island."
Hur then jumped off Sunset and walked his way towards Rarity who grimaced but stood still as the lizard analyzed the necklace.
"Oh yes. That's the necklace alright. So I believe you. However, bringing the necklace or the scepter won't wake the Guardian anytime soon."
Hearing that depressed everyone.
"You mean we're stuck here?" Fluttershy was on the verge of tears.
"Which means no fashion! No malls! No Sweetie Belle!" Rarity fell on Love Shine.
"No Applebloom! Big Mac! or Granny Smith!" Applejack cried.
"No sports! or Scootaloo!" Rainbow embraced Love Shine.
"I'll never see my new niece! I'll fail all my classes!" Twilight kept going on and on.
"SHE'S TWILIGHTING OUT!" Pinkie cried.
"TWILIGHT! SNAP OUT OF IT!" Sunset cried as Shine Boy shook her.
"I don't know how but we will find a way home so everyone CALM DOWN!" Shine Boy stated.
"But how?" Twilight sighed.
"We can't give up." Chet stated.
"Or we'll never get back to Equestria!" Starlight added, which Hur took noticed.
"Did you say Equestria?"
"Yeah. It's where myself and Chet are from." Starlight answered.
"I remember hearing something about it. There might be a way to wake up the Guardian. Check out the other room."
"Other room?" Sunset asked
"Sure over there."
Everyone looked to see the room with glowing crystals on the wall. In the center was a table of some sort. Everyone was in awe of how beautiful the room was.
"It's beautiful." Sunset gasped
"Look at these crystals!" Gamer amazed.
"They look like TVs!" Rainbow stated.
Pinkie bounce around the room. "Where's the remote? Let's watch some cartoons! I'll pop popcorn!"
"I don't think that's how they work, Pinkie." Shine Girl mentioned.
Shine Boy was looking at the table when he noticed something. "Hey guys! Check this out!"
Everyone looked to see seven symbols on them. They each resembled the symbols the Rainbooms had on their attire.
"They look like the cutie marks of your counterparts" Starlight stated.
"That is more than just a coincidence" Chet added.
--------------
Meanwhile, outside the ruins, Rutter and Gutter were searching the place for the entrance but to no avail.
"The Boss says they should be around here." Rutter said.
"Yeah but we found nothing. Lets find some cheese!" Gutter said while leaning on a statue. Suddenly, the statue opened nearly crushing Gutter, revealing a secret passage.
"Nice work, Gutter!" Rutter cheered as he grabbed a crystal. "Hey boss! We found it!"
The rats turned to see Reva, Mortar, and Lance appear before them.
"Good. Good." Reva snickered. "Inside Everyone!"
No one noticed Lance with a sorry face as the villains entered the passage way.
-----------
Meanwhile, Back in the other room, Gamer noticed something with the crystals.
"Hey guys!" he called. "Look at this! one of the crystals isn't lighting up."
Sure enough, he was right. There was a crystal that was dark as coal.
"What happened to that?" Spike asked.
"I was told that the crystal was stolen by the one who The Guardian banished before he fell into his deep sleep." Hur stated.
"Who?" Twilight asked.
"Some witch I believe" Hur answered, causing Shine Boy, Twilight, and Chet to perk up. "The guard before me told me about it before he retired. We Komodo Dragons have a lifespan of thirty years."
Chet was looking at the table with Rarity and Sunset looking at it when Sunset noticed something.
"Everyone! I think I found something!" She called as everyone gathered. They looked to see an emblem that shaped like Rarity's necklace in the middle of the table.
"It looks like we can add the necklace there and activate this thing!" Sunset stated.
"It might be able to wake up the guardian or better yet take us home or to Equestria!" Chet smiled.
"That's just what I wanted to know!"
Everyone turned in shock to see Reva, Mortar, Lance, Rutter, and Gutter right at the entrance.
The Heroes are confronted by Reva, Mortar, Lance, Rutter, and Gutter after the villains made their way to the Guardian's chamber.
"Identify yourselves!" Hur declared.
"Don't mind us. We will be showing ourselves out.... Through Equestria!" Reva declared.
"Now hand over the necklace if you know what's best for you!" Mortar demanded.
"Is this how you betray us, Lance? Selling us out to you aunt and uncle?" Applejack growled.
Lance could only look away in regret, which Chet and Shine Boy noticed.
Reva just chuckled. "It matters not. Are you gonna hand over the necklace willingly? Or will we take it by force?"
Shine Boy stood before them as he pulled out his staff. "You want that necklace? You'll have to go through us!"
Joining him were Gamer, who drew his blade, Shine Girl, who pulled out her baton, Love Shine, who's heart shields opened up and extended two glowing photon blades, and Chet, Who drew his blades.
"We are going to enjoy this!" Reva gleamed before shouting. "Destroy them!"
Soon, both sides were duking it out. Mortar was more than a match for Shine Boy, Love Shine, and Chet combined. Reva battled Shine Girl one on one while Gamer fought Lance who wasn't even trying.
Shine Boy battled Mortar only for Mortar to grab his staff and grab him by it and slamming him to a wall.
"ow." Shine Boy said before falling down.
Love Shine jumped in and slashed at Mortar with his photon blades. Mortar was able to dodge them only for one to slash at his cape. He then grabbed Love Shine's arms and the two wrestled each other. Mortar then headbutted Love Shine then kneed him in the stomach and kicked him away. Rarity and Rainbow Dash could only gasp as they witness the fought.
Chet then took over and fought Mortar. After a couple times dodging, Mortar grabbed Chet's blade and knocked it out of the gecko's hand, causing to fly at Shine Boy, blade first. Luckily,The blade deflected off Shine Boy's chest due to the magic preventing anything one good to be harm. But it still stung on Shine Boy.
"OW!" he cried.
Rutter and Gutter made their way to the Rainbooms, looking like they were ready to fight.
"If it's a fight you rats want, it's a fight you'll get!" Rainbow pumped.
The Rainbooms were prepared to defend themselves as Rutter and Gutter came closer.
Then...
"I quit!"
"Me too."
This surprises the Rainbooms.
"What?" Rarity screamed.
"Yeah. We never got paid."
"And we never beat Shine Boy."
"um....Okay?" Fluttershy said.
Unfortunately, Reva heard them and not pleased.
"TRAITORS!" She fired a blast at them. The shock of the blast pushed The Rainbooms back, causing the necklace to drop off Rarity.
"The necklace!" she cried.
Meanwhile, Shine Girl battled Reva while Gamer battled Lance. Gamer noticed how Lance wasn't trying to fight. But before he could talk, Reva threw Shine Girl on Gamer sending them flying near Shine Boy. Chet was still standing despite being tired.
"They are definitely worthy opponents" he panted.
With the heroes down, Reva picked up the necklace chuckling.
"At last." She chuckled as she walked up to the table. "Equestria. Here I come."
"No!" Hur charged at Reva only to be thrown by Mortar.
Reva was just about to put the necklace in place when she was suddenly tackled by none other than Lance.
"Lance! You!" she growled.
"I won't let you take their chance to go home away!" Lance stated. He tried to reach for the necklace only for Mortar to choke hold him.
Reva got up and glared at her nephew."Lance. Lance. Lance. You were full of promise. Until you let friendship weaken you! However, we won't end you since you're family."
"You are lucky we'll let them live" Mortar added.
Reva walked back up to the table. "Now where were we?"
As everyone watched in horror, Reva put the necklace in the port. As she did, there was a bit of silence.
After nobody saying a word, everyone realized nothing happened. Reva kicked the table but nothing still happened.
"Where is the portal to EQUESTRIA?" she screamed.
Team Shine and Chet got up and saw Reva and Mortar distracted and Shine Boy nodded, telling his team now's their chance. "Alright! Those jerks are toast!"
Shine Boy, Gamer, Love Shine, and Shine Girl lined up and started marching towards the villains.
"Symbols?" Shine Boy asked
"glowing!" they said as their insignias started to glow.
"Let's show these fools how we do things downtown!"
"4. 3. 2. 1."
"SHINE POWER!" They shouted as rays of light fired from their symbols.
The rays hit Reva and Mortar disorienting them. But The Rainbooms saw they were resisisting them.
"They need our help!" Twilight stated.
"So let's help them!" Pinkie cried.
"We will. Through the magic of Friendship!" Sunset mentioned as she motioned their geodes.
As they put their hands together, the geodes glew and transformed them into new attire.
As they transformed, Starlight noticed the symbols on the table were starting to glow. The Rainbooms then flew over to Team Shine placing their hands on each of the heroes' shoulders.
"Now, Reva. This will show you Friendship is no weakness!" Twilight declared.
As if on schedule, The Rainbooms began to glow. then the glow radiated through Team Shine causing their rays to grow bigger and powerful. This was enough to send Reva and Mortar flying while Chet pulled Lance out of there. But nobody knew, except Starlight, that the glow on the table intensified as the necklace absorbed the glow causing the whole table to glow.
After stopping, The Rainbooms and Team Shine saw they won and cheered.
"Shine-tastic?" Twilight asked Shine Boy.
"All the way." Shine Boy answered.
Suddenly, everyone heard giant footsteps. they turned to see a giant figure walking into the room. And he had the scepter in hand.
The Guardian had awoken and entered the room. He was about nine feet tall and looked like he was in his fifties. He wore armor on his legs, chest, and shoulders with blue gauntlets. He had a helmet with two prongs on the sides and a blue cape.
As he entered, he seemed happy to have his scepter back. He then looked to the people in the room and spoke a strong but gentle voice. "Who found my Scepter?"
Hur got up and shook off his injuries as he saw his master awake. "G-Guardian! You're awake!"
"Indeed. Someone activated my turntable."
Twilight stepped up. "I am to blame."
The Guardian looked to her. "Who are you? You look familiar."
"I'm Twilight Sparkle. And these are my friends."
"Twilight...... Sparkle."
Rarity came up. "Hi. I'm Rarity. Twilight's friend. Sorry for intruding on your island but your necklace brought us here."
"You brought my necklace back?"
"I gave her the necklace which was given to me by my sister-in-law, Cadence." Twilight explained as she pulled out a picture of her and Principal Cadence as the Guardian observed it.
"Ah yes! She looks familiar too. Did she speak of family?"
"Yes. She told me of her great grandmother having the necklace."
"Ah yes! I remember now. She was a scared girl when she was brought to my island. But I helped her nonetheless. Now, Who found my scepter?"
Fluttershy though frightened stepped up. "I did."
"This is Fluttershy. She's very shy." Rainbow mentioned
The Guardian patted Fluttershy's shoulder gently. "Thank you, child. I was afraid I lost it before My slumber. I am in your debt so you have nothing to fear." Fluttershy smiled.
The Guardian looked around at the other new faces. "Are they all your friends as well?"
"Of course!" Twilight introduced everyone to The Guardian before noticing Reva and Mortar getting up. "But they're not!"
Reva and Mortar were coming around when they noticed The Guardian was awake.
"The Guardian! He's awake!" Mortar shouted.
"Oh No!" Reva spewed. "Hurry before he-"
"FREEZE!"
Reva and Mortar were glowing blue and standing still as the Guardian held his scepter.
"Reva and Mortar. I don't know how you came to my island, but you've done enough! As long as you hold on to revenge, you will never return to Equestria! Now to send you somewhere where you both will do no harm!"
As the scepter glew, Reva and Mortar started to disintegrate into dust as they were teleported away.
Lance walked up to The Guardian. "I wish to join them"
"Are you sure? I sense the good in you."
"They are my family. They're all I have."
"If that is your wish, then I will send you with them."
as Lance disintegrated, he turned to his new friends. "Good bye, friends. I hope we meet again as friends."
"Maybe you'll be able to consider your aunt and uncle to be good too." Sunset said.
"Take it from former bad ponies" Starlight added as she put her arm on Sunset.
"I'll do my best." Lance finished as he was finally gone.
Sunset turned to The Guardian. "So, Mr. Guardian. If you don't mind me asking. How do you know about Equestria?"
The Guardian walked to the table. "I made contact there once. A long time ago, I was practicing my portal spell when I came across Equestria. There I got aqquainted to Princess Celestia and we became friends. One day, Equestria was threatened by an evil witch named Hydia. She used Reva and Mortar to try to seize the throne. Celestia and I knew there was only one choice. By combining my magic with the Elements of Harmony, we banished Hydia as well as Reva and Mortar from Equestria. But the side effect was my slumber. It was only by combining your geodes which are Equestrian magic, with the necklace was I able to awake after all this time."
Rutter and Gutter awoken from their attack and saw the Guardian looking down at them.
"Actually, I will offer my island as your new home so you both can be at peace."
"Do we have to be evil?" Rutter asked.
"I don't tolerate evil on my island."
"We'll be good" Gutter stated.
Chet bowed to the Guardian. "Sir, we were wondering if you would return us to Canterlot? It is why we searched this island for you."
"I can. I will even teleport you all to the exact time you left."
Everyone cheered hearing that.
"But I have to send you all to where you were last. Meaning I have to send you four back to Columbus." The Guardian added pointing to Team Shine.
The Rainbooms looked at each other and nodded. "Then they can go first." Sunset stated.
"You sure?" Shine Boy asked.
"Exactly." Twilight added. "Thank you again for helping us."
"What are friends for?" Shine Boy winked.
Gamer shook hands with Applejack only to be squeezed by a bawling Pinkie.
Shine Girl embraced Fluttershy. "Thank you for saving me and for being a good friend, Kyla." The shy girl smiled.
"You're a brave girl, Fluttershy." Shine Girl mentioned. "And a good friend."
Rarity was crying on Love Shine. "Oh Brandon parting is such sweet sorrow!"
Rainbow pulled Love Shine towards her. "Feel free to call me if you need help with anything at all."
Both gave a piece of paper to Love Shine.
"Well, it's great to have awesome friends." he smiled.
Shine Boy shook hands with Chet. "I'm glad to see you again, old friend." he turned to Starlight. "and to meet a new friend."
Starlight smiled. Then after saying their goodbyes, The Guardian used his scepter to send Team Shine home. After waving them goodbye, Rutter and Gutter walked up to the Rainbooms.
"I know you're leaving, but I don't suppose we could be friends?" Rutter asked
"And I don't suppose it would help if we said Sorry?" Gutter added
Sunset looked at the others who shrugged. "I can't see why not."
Rutter and Gutter smiled as they embraced Sunset who just smiled.
Fluttershy was embracing Hur. "Thank you for all you've done for us, Hur."
"It was my honor and pleasure." Hur smiled.
The Guardian walked up. "Are you ready?"
"We are." Sunset smiled as they all gathered around.
"Thank you once again, Fluttershy."
"You are very welcome, sir."
"And to you all. I am in your debt."
"It was an honor." Chet said, bowing in respect.
"And Before I forget" The Guardian raised his hand and from nothing created another necklace just like the other one. "For you, ms. Rarity. It will not bring you back here but as a reminder of your adventure."
"It's stunning!" Rarity smiled and accepted it. They all noticed the jewels on it were all the same colors as their geodes. "Thank you!"
"Farewell to you all." And With his scepter, The Guardian sent them all back to Canterlot.
"So what now?" Hur asked.
"First I must check the island. To make sure it is in order. May take a while."
"We await you're orders, boss!" Rutter bowed.
"Just say the word and we're there!" Gutter stated.
The Guardian nodded and they all left the room together.
The Rainbooms, Starlight, and Chet all found themselves back at the Canterlot High Statue.
"We're back!" Pinkie cheered.
Applejack checked her phone. "And he was true to his word! Look! It's only 9:35! Five minutes after we left!"
"Which means we still have our weekend together!" Rainbow mentioned.
"Though are we going to do anything exciting? To be honest, I've had enough excitement for one day." Fluttershy sighed.
Rarity placed her hand on Fluttershy's shoulder. "Not to worry, darling. I remember we were going to the mall for shopping, lunch, and a movie."
"And we were going to the baseball game in the park later." Twilight added.
"Because Timber invited you." Spike teased, making Twilight blush.
"What about tomorrow?" Starlight asked.
"We're going to have a get together with some of our classmates because some of them heard of Chet after he and Shine Boy helped Twilight in saving Principal Celestia and wanted to meet him" Sunset answered. "Plus, I've arranged a little surprise." she winked.
"C'mon! Let's get going. Juniper is holding our tickets!" Rainbow called.
Chet raised his hand. "Wouldn't I need a disguise?"
"I got that covered." Twilight stated, putting on Chet a robe.
"Okay. Now I'm ready." Chet stated.
"Then let's go!" Pinkie cheered as they walked to the mall.
-------------
Everyone had a splendid time the rest of the day. The girls bought a couple clothes, even a souvenir outfit for Starlight. After a great lunch, They all went to the movie theater. Juniper was glad to see Starlight again and was able to get a ticket for her and Chet. Later, they all went to the baseball game. While Rainbow cheered for the teams, Fluttershy went to hang out with the birds nearby,Both Applejack and Rarity explained the game to Starlight, Twilight enjoyed the game with Timber, Chet went with Sunset and Pinkie to the concession stand and that was the last time he tried a hot dog after Pinkie told him what they're made of after he ate one.
--------------
The next day, Everyone arrived at the park for the get together. Their classmates consisted of Flash Sentry, Sandelwood, Micro Chip, Trixie, Wallflower Blush, and so many others. Principal Celestia and VP Luna even showed up to say hi and supervise as well as introduce Luna to Chet. After a bit, Twilight came up to Sunset.
"So, things are going good. But when's your surprise?" she asked.
Sunset just finished texting her phone. "They'll be here right about-" she pointed as if cuing someone.
"Hey, everyone!"
Everyone turned to see Shine Boy, Gamer, Love Shine, and Shine Girl carrying pizza boxes. A lot of the students cheered for they had seen Shine Boy on the news. After the heroes put the pizzas down, they all mingled with the students.
Shine Boy shook hands with a certain blue haired boy."You must be Flash Sentry. I heard about you from a friend of mine."
Flash realized who he was talking about. "You wouldn't happen to know how Tony is doing?"
"Oh he's doing great. In fact, he asked me to tell you he said hi."
"That's good to know" Flash smiled.
Meanwhile, Gamer was enjoying talking with Sandalwood and Micro Chip, Shine Girl was signing autographs for Wallflower and other girls, and Love Shine spent time with Rarity, Rainbow, and Trixie to the girls' irk.
Shine Boy then was standing with Twilight, Sunset, Celestia, and Luna watching everyone.
"I'm really glad Sunset was able to talk you and friends to come today, Shine Boy." Celestia smiled.
Shine Boy grinned. "I've been meaning to visit Canterlot again. Besides, she had me at Chet coming to visit. After he helped me, It was the least I could do."
"Where is Chet, anyway?" Luna asked.
Starlight walked up. "Well, he's got his hands full so to speak." She pointed to where Chet was.
Chet was being hugged by three girls who looked identical. They had bushy brown hair, wore pink or purple tanktops, and blue jeans.
"So cute." said one of them.
"I just love how polite you are." another said.
"You're outfit is so cool" the third complimented.
Chet blushed. "Thank you, ladies."
"Who are those girls?" Sunset asked.
Pinkie popped up. "I think they followed him from the game. So I invited them."
"Quite the ladies man, isn't he?" Luna joked and they all laughed.
"All in all, I'd say this was a Shinetastic day." Shine Boy said.
"All the way!" Twilight answered as she, Shine Boy, and Sunset high fived.
