Saving Equaria

The Loungers accidentally crash onto Equaria, the AUU Equestria, and meet not just Princess Shade, her friends, and Queen Caelestis, but also 6 other friends, one of them being a typical frenemy: Starbright Shatter, whose is essentially AUU Starlight Glimmer, and like her, starts out evil and intends to make everyone equal like other races by destroying the concept of their birth marks, as she feels they serve as a mark of supremacy, limiting the talents of her kind, as it's what cost her her friendships within school, as the school yard code said it was against the rules, intending to seek this out in a powerful and uncharted birth mark holo-vault and making a large megalopolis she rules to be the first to accept her beliefs, and then expand later on. However, she fails to realize that the one who gave that to her could also take it from her. It was found with help from a Storm King-like conquering tyrant named Conquerius, who aims to conquer all of Equaria and believes that Starbright's plan will give him the power to make that possible for Lony territory, and has released his Censen henchmen to ensure that is made possible, and will not let Shade's team, and a band of Mane 5-like heroes within the megalopolis that were duped there by Starbright, nor a bunch of misfits, stop him, destroying anything nearby that may pose a threat. Now, our heroes must stop Starbright from making her plan complete Conquerius' plan, while coming across colorful characters like Ziden and Trixa, and a defective attack pet for Conquerius called The Chaemra.

## Scenes

#### **Hiding in Seaquaria**

Sea Cave

* Shade: (The heroes were wet and walking through a water-drenched cavern) This is what happens when you don't listen to the defenders, guys!
* Sonny: Hey, don't pin this on us! Our magician was captured in that raid too! We didn't exactly know about Tempera's true nature and her alliance with a crazy conqueror!
* Comet: Well now we're lost in a sea cave and we can't find our way out. Good job!
* Jokey: "Hey at least be glad your not dead, ya big crybabies!"
* Tina: "That's a fair point, everyone."
* Comet: "Dang it, Tins, can you NOT back them up?!"
* Cadet: Will you stop blaming us?!
* Shade: Why? You failed to listen, you let your guard down, and you cost us our home because of it! This is your fault! Now we're lost in this wet underground sea cave!!
* Jokey: "OH LIKE YOU WHINERS DID ANY BETTER?!"
* Tina: "Yeah, to be fair, for defenders, we didn't do that great either."
* Comet: "DAMN IT, TINA, STOP DEFENDING-"
* ZongueBob: QUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET?! (Everyone stopped)..... This arguing, helps no one, but the bad guys! It should not matter who's fault is it, (Shade was about to speak) BUH BUH, STRONG EMPETHESE ON THAT IT SHOULD, NOT, MATTER?! The impourent thing, is that we're not captured, nor dead, nor ANYTHING negitive! At least we're not in Tempera's sights anymore! (Shade and some friends begrudgently agreed to this)...
* Comet: ".... Okay, fine, so, your not screw-ups in terms of that, we're at least not dead. But we're still lost on a wet sea cave."
* Zonquebob: It's just water. Besides drowning, water never killed anyone.
* Spunky: Well they're right about that. (She swims underwater joyfully and then mysteriously sees glowing figures and surfaces) Guys, I think I saw something!
* Tina: So do I. I'm picking up two sources of movement in the water.
* Atrick: I hope they're not sharks.
* Glora: Why would sharks live in a place like this? Maybe it's random monsters.
* Spunky: (She stuck her head underwater blowing bubbles as she heard the two figures speaking)... (She surfaced) No, they're talking. I'll go get them.
* Shade: Spunk, wait! (She dived and headed towards them) Aw, Caelestis dammit! If we get through this, we're blaming you guys!
* Commander: Zonguebob already said that shouldn't be the impourent thing, SO SHUT UP ALREADY?! (They followed them)
* Spunky: (Gurgling) Wait! We just wanna talk! Come back! (They escaped into a giant pool as Spunky surfaced) They're gone!
* Boole: Fan-friggin-tastic!
* Scoro: Let's not give up! We can likely find others. These sea caves seem to feel like some kind of... Underground Railroad.
* Atrick: Oh, you mean this used to be a subway?
* Cephward: (He face-palms) Not THAT Underground Railroad, you maunucle-head!
* Glamour: Look, can we just get back to finding a way out of- (The pool suddenly turned into a whirlpool) Wha?
* Pho: HOLY MERF!!!
* Sonny: BRACE YOURSELVES!!!
* Cephward: Ugh, I hate epic adventures! (They went down the whirlpool and got ejected into an underwater cave as many of the heroes suffocated as the ones used to it tried to help but couldn't find air)
* Sonny: (With her holographic helmet on) IS THERE ANY AIR?!
* Mr. Tetrus: Doesn't look like it!
* Sau: The closest source is 1 mile away. The semi-aquatic members can reach it, but I'm afraid those that aren't won't make it there.
* ZongueBob:... (He watches the AUU Mane Six slowly drown)... Then what do we do? We're lost down here!
* ???: No you're not! (Bubble helmets were made for them as they gasped heavily and the two figures revealed themselves to be sealonies similar to Skystar and Marenia)
* Sealony #1: And you're incredibly lucky we saved you from the waterfall crash and have been watching you.
* Sealony #2: OHHHH, YOU GUYS ARE SO WEIRD!!!
* Sealony #1: Bubbly, calm down!
* Sealony 2 (Bubbly): "Sorry."
* Kongin: Well we didn't have our magic assistant with us, so, thanks.
* Kii: And who I ask are you?
* Sealony #1: I am Stingy Atoll, and this is my easily-excitable (To herself) And somewhat annoying, (Openly) sister Bubbly Atoll. We are a group of sealonies that escaped Conquerius' destruction of our atoll homeland and went hiding in these aquifers to survive. You almost lead his Censens here if it wasn't for dumb luck.
* Shade: Blame these idiots for that.
* Bongki: OH, WILL YOU SHUT UP ABOUT THAT?! WE DID OUR BEST!!
* Jokey: "ALSO, YOUR AT FAULT FOR NOT STOPPING US TO BEGIN WITH, SO THAT MAKES YOU A BIGGER IDIOT?!"
* Shade: "WHAT?! I CAN'T BELIEVE THE LOUGERS WOULD ACTSELLY ASSUSIATE WITH YOU GUYS?!"
* Atrick: "Tecnecally, the Lougers haven't yet met our team, so-"
* Shade: "OH, AND IT SHOWS?!"
* Stingy Atoll: Calm yourselves, will you? Sound is more intense underwater!
* Jokey: "How can ya tell? We sound exactly the same."
* Stingy: Look, it's part of complicated underwater biologity some of you may not be able to understand, okay? You're both loud as all hell and I must advise you behave yourselves in mom's presence.
* ZongueBob: Mom?
* Bubbly: Yeah, Mom! The queen! She's been upstaging Conquerius and freeing his slaves for years. You'll love her.
* Buckroot: Well let's hope she ain't as incompetent as these dorkwads!
* Cadet: Will you stop blaming us for every feloot stuck up a tree?!
* Comet: "Well maybe it would help abit more if YOU START TAKING THIS MESS SERIOUSLY?!"
* Jokey: "YA THINK WE'RE NOT TAKING IT SERIOUSLY ENOUGH, GAYBO?! WE'RE DOING THE BEST WE CAN, YOU FUCKING PERFECTIONEST?!"
* Stingy: NO MORE FIGHTING!!! Now come with us if you want to see these 'Hippogrykhs'! My god, you've got to be the most dysfunctional heroes I've ever met! Why do you keep playing the blame game like misbehaving teenagers?
* Xoriago: Well, Princess P\*\*\*y thinks we're too idiotic to do anything right and keep making things worse, never mind that she and her comrodites aren't exactly doing things any better!
* Sonny: She prefers the Lodge more than us because we haven't been heroes for more than a few months.
* Stingy:... I see. Well, mother won't tolerate nonsense like that. (The two sides looked worried at each other)... Now come along, and fix your attitudes by the time we are in mother's presence.
* Xoriago: "Yeah, princess, time to stop being a priss."
* Shade: "Listen here, I'm- (Stingy cleared her throat)...... (Deadpan) Fine......"

#### **Meet Conquerius/Conquerius' Story**

Cashmir Castle

* Tempera: Hmmph! These lonies are morons! Expecting the day to be saved from another threat? Such overconfidence! They let themselves be doomed. All the power they have, wasted on parties! Well if they can't use it right, they shouldn't have it at all.
* Gooby: Tempera? He's here!
* Tempera: Then direct him to the throne room.
* ???: That won't be necessary! (A monster similar to Storm King, but with black fur, multiple tails, bronze and dark blue armor, a black face, and a technological scepter, teleported in)
* Conquerius: You have done well. (Laughs) I-I just can't believe how easy it was! How dumb are those lonies? What cartoon world do they live in? (Laughs) It just cracks me up how I was building up so much for these guys. They were the world's dominant race? What a joke! Anyway, good work, Tempera!
* Tempera: All in a day's work.
* Conquerius: And I gotta thank Gooby for terminating my services of that magic market corporation. Their magic sucks!
* Gooby: Well you DID steal much of their resources and budget.
* Conquerius: Oh, that's right... BECAUSE IT SUCKED AND I TOOK CONTROL OF IT!! (Laughs hysterically) Now, back to you, here's the deal, I'm in the middle of a huge re-brand. Now that I own that sucky corporation and enslaved it's furball employees, I'm not only revolutionizing my men and army, but also need a trademark power to represent my line of work, and you know what would make it catchy? **A STORM**!!!
* Gooby: OOOWWWW, SIR, DO YOU HAVE TO BOMBARD OUR EARS LIKE THAT?
* Conquerius: I just yelled the reason, monkey boy! So, to make my first storm on the land I sought for so long count as both a finest hour and an advertisement, the Scepter of Conquoronous needs your contribution as soon as possible.
* Tempera: Well one of them got away thanks to those aliens that claim to know the interdimensional Lodgers who stopped Count Mooku. But it won't be a setback.
* Conquerius: I hope not for your sake. Any progress in your 'friend's' city?
* Tempera: Starbright still trusts me. We should have control of the revelation mark vault in due time. Not only will they be unable to fight back, but you'll rule over them with the power of a thousand armies.
* Conquerius: "Good. Just make sure ya keep the smug brat wrapped around your finger-.... Uh, duh, hoof! If she has the slightist hint that we're not team players with her, we can kiss having the Vault goodbye! Your gonna have to put up with that ego of hers!"
* Tempera: "Actselly, she isn't half bad. In fact, she treated me like a sister. I suggest that maybe we should include her in controling Equaria instead of-"
* Conquerius: TEMPERA?! What did I say about bringing in people with liable bonds? She may be your friend, but she's not our ally. If she's more important than your horn-
* Tempera: NOTHING is going to be more important to me than my horn! I am saying-
* Conquerius: Tempera, that lony is only going to hinder our plans. She would NEVER agree to an alliance with me. If you let her open your conscience, you'll forgot your place and you can kiss your chance to get your horn back!
* Tempera: Then what must we do with her when this is over?
* Conquerius: Same thing as the other lonies. You must not let her open any raw vulnerability. That will destroy our plans and you'll never get your horn back.
* Tempera:... (Sighs) Understood, sir. I'll find Caelestis' daughter and have everything ready.
* Conquerius: Remember, Tempera! Only I have the power to make you whole. Those Omni-Lonies killed my family clan, and I'll take their power and destroy them in return. Make this work, and you'll get your reward. Fail me, and your horn won't be the only thing that's broken.
* Tempora: ".... Understood, sir. (Conquerius vanishes from the flames)....... (Sighs), Maybe I'll make it up to Starbright after I get my horn back. Ugh, just focus on the mission, Tempera. It'll pay off soon enough."
* Gooby: I hope so. I want your horn fixed, too. I mean, look at it! It looks like a screwed up... Screw, or something-
* Tempera: WILL YOU SHUT UP?! (Her horn sparked) YOU'RE NOT HELPING!! Nothing, is going to stop me from getting my horn back! Make yourself useful, AND PREPARE MY SHIP!!!
* Gooby: PREPARING, PREPARING!!!! (He left frantically)
* Tempera:... Ugh! Please! These lonies and idiots underestimated us. How far could they possibly go on their own?

Underground Aquifer Railroad

* Bubbly: (The air-supported heroes followed them) So, why didn't you lonies produce your own air support?
* Trixa: Yeah, SHADE! Why DIDN'T you lonies produce your own air support?
* Shade: I don't know, why can't you do what I can do?
* Trixia: "Well, I never known a princess to be full of sass, both front and back!"
* Jokey: "Yeah, can you please turn off Bitch-Mode, Shade?"
* Shade: "Are you implying that-"
* Buckroot: "Shade, please humor them."
* Shade:... Well, I'm still working on aquatic spells.
* Commander: Seriously? You're a powerful princess, and you struggle with a spell to breath underwater? And here you are calling us amateur.
* Shade: The one I currently use only works when air is close by, and when we went down here, there wasn't any.
* Bubbly: You were in one of the areas which we use to block off non-aquatic enemies and unauthorized personnel. Good security measure since we're the rebellion against Conquerius.
* Shade:... What?
* Stingy: We brought you here like we do other victims of Conquerius. We were his first victims since Princess Shade's grandparents killed his family.
* Shade:... Again, WHAT?!
* Bubbly: Your mom never told you?
* Zonguebob: "Poor guy, no wonder he's so angry at the Equaraians."
* Stingy: Don't get the wrong idea. Conquerius' family clan was evil, too. They tried to take over everything during the Interuniversal War and Shade's family stood against them. They both kinda... Killed each other at the ending months of the war. Shade, your mother and three aunts were among several of barely a handful of survivors. They were raised by Unigalax the Bearded since.
* Shade:... Yeah, I always wondered what happened to my grand family. Why didn't mom tell me about this?
* Stingy: My best guess is that she wanted to protect you since Conquerius killed your father.
* Shade: HE DID WHAT?!
* Jokey: "ANNNNNNNNND there goes our ability to feel sorry for the dude about losing his family."
* Lady Hush: "Though it was already leaving, given his family weren't saints themselves."
* Shade: But, but..... SHE SAID HE WAS ON A CRUSADE!!
* Stingy:... We seriously need to talk to your mom about being more honest than that.
* Atrick: "Well to be fair, she didn't think the guy was gonna show up and cause trouble."
* Stingy: That's hardly a good enough excuse to not practice more honesty then what she did. But yes. We'll tell you more later. What we can tell you is that you won't find the Queen of the Hippogrykhs on the surface. All victims of Conquerius were hidden in the deepest underground caves or areas thanks to us.
* Cephward: "Isn't it kinda cowerdly to just hide from him like that?"
* Stingy: "(Scoffs), Well excuse us for not going all gun-ho on him and risk our deaths for it."
* Sonny: "Yeah in all fairness Cephward, this guy is clearly a step beyond Crokton or barely even Crobra! He's neither held back by over/incompidence nor an obvious glaring weakness in the form of a fragle talisment. That Congurious guy souns like he plays for keeps!"

#### **The Loungers Casted Out/Tempera Shift's Past**

Hideaway

* Commander:... We did it!
* Jokey: YES!!! We saved the people of Equaria!!!
* ZongueBob: VICTORY FIREWORKS!!!
* Shade: No, no, no!! (Chocko hacked out fireworks into the sky)
* Tempera:... There you are.
* Gooby: Awesome!!
* Tempera: Shut it!! We must go!!
* ZongueBob: LOOLOOLOOLOOLOOLOOLOOLOOLOO!!! (They did a victory dance)
* Shade: WHAT WAS THAT?!?
* Chocko:... Fireworks?
* Shade: YOU JUST GAVE AWAY OUR POSITION!!! NOW THE- (Censens blasted magic fire around them as Tempera and Gooby arrived)
* Gooby: Hand them over, ladies!
* ZongueBob: Uhhh... Hand what over?
* Tempera: You have 3 seconds! 3...... 2......
* Gooby: This is inteeeense! (Record scratch)....
* Tempera: STUPID MONKEY!!! YOU MADE US LOOK BAD!!! (Blasted him to a wall) Screw this, your compliance isn't a factor. Censen? Bring them to me!
* Shade: NOOOO!!! (She casts a powerful shield that the Censen just shot through and fed on as they were able to obtain the citizens) NOOO, NONONONONONOOOOOOO!!!!! (They were gone)......
* Atrick: Uhhhh, you think they saw our fireworks?
* Shade: (Dubbed as Twilight)... Are you KIDDING ME?!?
* Chocko: (Chuckles)......

Seaquaria

* Shade: I WANT THE LOUNGERS OFF THIS MISSION **NOW**!!!!
* Sonny: IT WAS AN ACCIDENT!!!
* Shade: YOU CALL GIVING AWAY THE POSITION OF OUR REFUGEES, FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND EVERYONE WE CARED ABOUT TO TEMPERA WITH A VICTORIOUS DISPLAY OF FIREWORKS, AN ACCIDENT?!? WERE YOU ALL DROPPED AT BIRTH?!
* Sonny: Okay THAT is not called for!!
* Shade: NO, YOU ALL ARE A DISGRACE!!! OUR REFUGEES HAVE ALL BEEN CAPTURED BECAUSE OF YOU!!! SO YOU'RE ALL OFF THIS MISSION AS OF NOW!!!
* Queen Atoll: No!
* Shade:... No?
* Queen Atoll: They have done their best regardless of that costly mistake.
* Comet: Seriously? We failed the mission because of it. Why are you still on their side?
* Shade: Exactly. They are a liability and need to be removed so this never happens again.
* Queen Atoll: You are committing the act of a begger being a chooser. You are not being grateful of the help you are being given now instead of what should've been.
* Shade: But-
* Queen Atoll: Silence! Would you rather the Lodgers hadn't sent anyone at all and just forsaken you for a more intermediate concern?
* Comet:... Well, when you put it like that...
* Buckroot: Shade, maybe we shouldn't be selfish about it and just appreciate that we have help AT ALL vs. the Lodgers ignoring us.
* Shade: BUT-
* Queen Atoll: PRINCESS! Do you want my help or not?! (Shade was forced to give up)... Good. Now I expect this attitude left behind or you and your friends will be banned from the mission. Is that understood?
* Shade: (Sighs) Understood.... (She swims away in a very angry rush)
* Spunky:...... We'd better go comfort her. (They swam off with her)
* Sonny: Hmph. Serves her right.
* Commander: Exactly. I mean, I know what we did earlier wasn't the smartest move ever, but I doubt the Lodgers would've been any better. They make dumb calls a lot too!
* Jokey: Yeah, so it sure shows HER to expect absolute perfection!
* Cen: Let's hope this will be the last of her nonsense.
* ZongueBob: Actually guys, I think we need to ask Miss Atoll to take it easy on Shade. I mean, Shade was right. We STILL weren't thinking wisely about this. Looking at you, Chocko!
* Scowalski: You were the one who called the victory screech.
* ZongueBob: Well it was Chocko who launched the fireworks! I mean, isn't he supposed to be military or something?
* Commander: The guy can't talk right and is loopier than a merry-go-round.
* Chocko: Raaah!
* ZongueBob:... Ugggh! Can we AT LEAST have Atoll give Shade break out of courtesy alone?!
* Jokey: "Okay FINE, DAD, if you're so interested in giving an entitled brat a leg up?!" (The Loungers swam off to see Atoll)

Lonies' Quarters

* Shade: I CAN'T BELIEVE HER!!!
* Spunky: Shade?
* Shade: How DARE the Queen betray us Lonies like that in favor of those idiot Loungers?!
* Comet: Shade-
* Shade: She can't just ban us from this mission! It's OUR home that's in danger! It's OUR responsibility! Who is she to tell me what I can or can't do? This is treason!
* Buckroot: Shade-
* Shade: We are the rightful protectors, and WE should choose who's on our side or not! We've defended Equaria since BEFORE the Lodgers!! Queen Atoll is a fool for forgetting that!!
* Tina: SHADE!!
* Shade: WHAT?!
* Tina: Will you PLEASE get a hold of yourself already?! You were not being fair to the Loungers. For your mother's sake, you demanded the Loungers be taken off the mission.
* Shade: THEY GOT OUR FAMILIES AND FRIENDS CAUGHT!!
* Tina: Well not on purpose. It was just ONE accident.
* Shade: One of MANY!
* Tina: What does it matter?
* Shade: WHAT DOES IT MATTER?!? HAVE YOU DRANK THE SEAWATER AROUND HERE?! Who's to say they won't continue screwing this up?!
* Tina: Well it's not like the Lodgers would've nessersarly be as perfect as Omni-Corns here, I hear they can be abit clumsy and badly hindsighted too, and secondly, they're caught up in something else anyway, so don't go acting like we had better options! Now, maybe they could've been better, but they're better then if it was just us doing it by ourselves.
* Shade: You're not gonna be on my side for this, are you?
* Tina: We don't think YOU'RE on your side.
* Shade: (Sighs) Everylony, your families have been captured thanks to the Loungers' mistake, after many other mistakes, and I'm not allowed to scold or punish them for that?
* Tina: I'm not suggesting you're not allowed to express your opinion, by all means, they should be open to reasonable scrutiny. EMPATHSIS on REASONABLE scrutiny!! What you did was more along the lines of being a choosy begger then giving reasonable critiques. If you act ungrateful like that, then any legit point is LOST because of how the critique is executed. Now, perhaps they're not the most perfect people the Lougers can send, but, at least it's better they at least TRIED to not leave us out to rot because of things outside of their control, as suppose to once again, us being by ourselves.
* Comet: "Yeah, I'm with Tina here. I can understand being critical to those guys, but booting them out when they are basically the best choices we have at the moment given that the Lougers are stuck in other matters? That would be too far and the act of self-defeating foot-shooting."
* Shade: Too far?! I decide what's best for Equaria as the last standing princess! This isn't THEIR mission, it's ours. It's OUR home! Saying otherwise is treason!
* Comet: "So being ungrateful idiots to our only shorce of help is NOT treasonous? (Scoffs), (Sarcastically) Good to know, princess!"
* Shade: I... (Sighs)... Do you really have to be like that, Comet?
* Comet: "I'd ask you the same question, but with your name instead at the end!"
* Shade: Ugggh?! That's it! We're better off without these fish-faces! Everylony?... We're taking the Pearlescent Orb!
* Tina:... No!
* Shade: Tina, before you start, hear me out-
* Tina: WHAT IS THERE TO HEAR YOU OUT ABOUT?! THEFT?! ARE YOU SERIOUS?! THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE SUGGESTING, RIGHT?! You want to STEAL the Sealonies' most valued source of magic because the Queen threatened to take you off the mission?
* Comet: Yeah, I'd rather welcome our new overlord than be a thief!
* Shade: Guys, do I have to remind you that our family and loved ones are in danger?
* Tina: Shade, we are ALL in danger. Everycreature on this world is in danger! It's the Sealonies' fight just as much as it is ours! They were Conquerius' first victims since his family died! They fought him far longer than us. They know Conquerius! They are technically saving us from making a mistake that your mom will frown upon! Theft makes you no better than the other enemies we fought! This should be a no-brainer to you by now! Why is Conquerius more concerning to you than anything else?!
* Shade:...... (Sighs)...... Because he got me to think of something I never had before. Not just through his peon Tempera's ramblings about how we shouldn't waste everything we have on ignoring reality as a whole like a child who doesn't want to see an animal charity commercial, but... Because of how easy it was to conquer our home. We never realized before him even when Mooku was a problem that we had several openings. We never even knew my grandparents. We never knew that we were as vulnerable as our 'Equestrian' counterparts in the Lodgers' UUniverses. Conquerius and Tempera took what was our greatest ace in the hole... AND ABSORBED THEM INTO HIS OWN POWER!!! My mom and aunts were petrified! This threat was more powerful and coordinated than anything else we've faced! His Censens are resilient and our magic is useless against them! And the worst part of all? It was too easy. We thought this wouldn't be any different, and we got reality beaten into us. We, the dominant and original home race of Equaria, were blind to the world around us!... Now that we know we can't play it the traditional way anymore... We need more aces! We NEED more aid! And if the Lodgers and Heroes Act aren't going to be available, if the Loungers are going to constantly make things worse, and if Queen Atoll is going to say that we don't deserve to protect our own homeland... Then we don't need ANY of them. If they were so damn resilient to Conquerius before, then they'll not only understand what I am doing is for the greater good, but they'll be just fine without the Orb!
* Glamour: And how pray tell is stealing the Orb going to solve anything?
* Shade: Queen Atoll favors the idiots who have done nothing but endanger Equaria and get more of it captured than help it. Why should she have our trust and our support if she says we don't deserve to protect ourselves from a threat they're too familiar with?
* Buckroot: Cuz what if the Orb ain't enough? We've ALREADY got enough help. But Shade, big mistake or not, you were kinda acting like a disrespectful spoiled brat back there, and that didn't speak kindly to what our society is like. Them Sealonies don't know us all that well. As far as they know, we may have deserved being taken over by Conquerius, so how is stealing from them gonna prove em wrong?
* Tina: Exactly. Maybe it's best we allowed the Loungers a chance to change her mind and make a due piece of redemption. It's the very least they could do.
* Shade: AND HOW DO YOU THINK THEY WOULD DO THAT?!
* Tina: Well, I AM the most analytical of us, dear.
* Shade: You've haven't exactly always been right, you know.
* Tina: Can a single person be wrong every once in a while?
* Glamour: Darling, I know the Loungers are an off-brand version of the Lodgers that haven't exactly been.... Perfect, but they're all we have at this moment since the Lodgers are busy. It's either them or we better start practicing saluting to that Conquerius brute!
* Comet: Exactly! So don't make it harder for all of us. You know it's wrong, we know it's wrong, so don't do this.
* Shade:... Guys... This is not a hypothetical, nor a moral, debate. With those Loungers around, anything bad can happen. I'm NOT going to take that chance. Not anymore. That Orb is our only hope of saving Equaria. With it, we can liberate Lonies from all over Equaria until we can take it back. Then we can return the Orb as soon as everylony is accounted for.
* Buckroot: But what about the Loungers? Are you planning to get rid of em?
* Shade: No! We're getting rid of ourselves! It's been pretty clear that we Lonies are all we have left. Trusting outsiders is likely what made this world so messed up to begin with, and we had to learn that the hard way. We don't need the Loungers or the sealonies! We have to think about what's best for everylony now!
* Comet:... (Sighs)... Shade! We can't let you do this! It's still wrong.
* Shade: COMET, WHAT'RE YOU AFRAID OF MORE?! LOSING YOUR FAMILY AND LOVED ONES TO EITHER A MANIAC, OR THE IRE OF COWARDS?!
* Comet: Both, in equal amounts! It's called 'Not wanting to make problems worse". You should try to have that sometimes. Cause truth be told, if we waste time making even more enemies then already, our family won't be in any less of a shit situation then they are now?!
* Shade:... Can you at least, humor me on this?
* Comet: No! If you do this, we're going to be ousted!
* Shade:... Then I'm sorry I have to do this. (She magically freezes them in place)
* Tina: WHA!
* Glamour: SHADE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING- (She magically silenced them)
* Shade: I'm very sorry, everylony. But this is for Equaria's own good. (She swam away as the Lonies looked shocked at her)

Atoll's Throneroom

* Queen Atoll: (The heroes swam in)... Did Shade come to an agreement like I asked?
* Stingy: She had better. She reacted horribly when she was threatened to be taken off the mission.
* Zhigu: Yes. Shade came to us and said she would let it go.
* Stingy: Are you completely sure? Was she with her friends?
* Pho: No, but-
* Stingy: Then how can you be sure? If you didn't check thoroughly, then that's saying she hasn't learned anything, and we'll have no choice but to let you both go.
* Jokey: Oh, it's not like they would do something stupid behind our backs because we're in bad bind with them! And what do ya mean let us go too? Don't tell me you think we're as bad as they've been accusing us as!
* Queen Atoll: It's not us looking poorly on you. It's just... If there's no harmony between both parties, then it would be difficult to trust the both of you as well. It's nothing personal. I just don't want to risk having a battle that fails because of how dysfunctional you both are being.
* Stingy: Exactly. Now, again I ask, are you absolutely sure Shade has done nothing to make fools out of you, considering your currently-sour dispositions? (The Loungers thought hard)
* Jokey: Well, unless Shade being alone meant she was taking drastic measures and her friends not being there meant she was doing something stupid, I think we can say- (All the Loungers shattered like glass with them still intact upon realization before shouting this and swimming off)

* Queen Atoll:... That response, didn't sound inviting.
* Stingy: Does, this mean we have to go with Plan B?
* Queen Atoll: If this is going where I think it is, then yes, we must use Plan B. Just play along when it happens. We're going to have to help in, a rather unconventional way.

Lonies' Room

* ZongueBob: (They burst in) GUYS!! (They saw Shade's friends immobilized and muted)
* Drynder:... Oh, no! (The alarm blared as everyone went to the Orb room to see Shade tangled and stung by the jellen containment field for the Orb trying to steal it after Belmen freed Shade's friends)
* Sonny: SHADE?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!
* Shade: I... If I can just explain-
* Stingy: TRAITOR! (She retrieved the Orb)
* Shade: NO!!!
* Stingy: How DARE you resort to this? Is this because we threatened to take you off the mission?
* Shade: (Sighs) YES!! YOU COMMITTED TREASON BY DOING SO!!
* Stingy: "Well being ungrateful to available help is being loyal to Caelestis, then no offense, but I'll pass on being loyal to her if it means being grateful to what I have as this world's needed help vs. WANTED help being unable to help."
* Shade: Grrrrr?! THIS IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY, AND YOUR MOTHER IS A FOOL FOR SAYING IT'S NOT!! (Everyone gasped)
* Jokey:... And the prodigal jackass does it again.
* Queen Atoll:... Treason?! I asked you to make up to the Loungers and only said that because you were failing to listen.
* Shade: Wha..... You actually weren't threatening to abandon us?!
* Queen Atoll: Of course not! What do you peg me for, some fool too afraid of that beast Conquerius or any of the likes of him because of some tragic loss messing with my judgment?!
* (Icky): OHHHHOHOHOHOHO, Epic burn against Queen Novo right there!
* Queen Atoll: Did you seriously think I would abandon an entire nation as easy as that?
* Shade: Duh, I, I assumed that-
* Queen Atoll: Oh, let me guess! Because you're an Omni-Lony, you think you are entitled to have the UUniverses to automatically adhere to your desires? That you deserved only the best and that we should just blindly risk our Orb against the very madman that wants it to begin with? Surely Caelestis raised you better than that!
* Shade: I... Okay, maybe I-
* Queen Atoll: I told you that beggers cannot be choosers, and you should've been grateful to have any help at all vs. doing this alone! These Loungers, as ineffectual as they can be sometimes, are the best help you could afford right now since those Lodgers you wished for most likely have other issues to attend to. Loungers, this is exactly what I was warning you about. I CANNOT be expected to trust a selfish self-entitled brat of an Omni-Lony to handle you and even her own stooges without any setbacks. You have zero harmony, so you are not safe to trust. Stingy? You know what to do!
* Stingy: Yes, mother! Clam Loungers and Sun Gems of Peace, for insubordination, theft, lack of discipline, and lack of foresight, you are hereby relieved of our services AND our support, including your sealony forms!
* ZongueBob: No, please! Can't we talk about this?
* Queen Atoll: I'm sorry... You just need to find a way on your own. Forgive us. (Stingy activates the Orb and it fades inside and into white)

Foggy Beach

* Trixa: (The heroes exited the water crashing comically)... So how'd it go?
* Commander: YOU F\*\*\*\*\*G JACKASS!!!
* Shade: ME?!
* Trixa:... Ooooohkay, not good, I see.
* Commander: No, Pronkes here, YES YOU, YOU IDIOT!! WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?! I MEAN, STEALING THEIR ORB?!
* Buckroot: We tried to talk her out of it!
* Jokey: "Well frankly, I guess Shadey's problem here that, for the daughter of a Omni-Lony queen, SHE HAS THE LISTENING SKILLS OF A DEAF GAURD ROG?!"
* Shade: I HAD to! It was our best chance to save Equaria!
* Glamour: (Quietly) Is it not too late to say she no longer speaks for us, I wonder?
* Ruke: Relax, madame, we saw you tied up. It's Shade who messed up epicly.
* Cephward: YOU CALL THEFT THE BEST CHANCE TO SAVE EQUARIA?! WE WERE THIS CLOSE TO HAVING HER CHANGE HER MIND AND CUT YOU SOME SLACK, AND YOU RUINED IT! HOW CHILDISHLY STUPID AND/OR INSANE ARE YOU?!
* Shade:... Excuse me?
* Zhensi: Cephward!!
* Cephward: Uh, wait, let me rephrase that! I meant to say, WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?!
* Shade: Well, it's just.... You know, just in case.
* Sonny: In case of WHAT?! (Shade paused)...... You... You don't think we can do this, do you? I prayed it wasn't true, but it was. You said you believed in us... But you were just saying that because the queen said so, didn't you? You just wanted us to DISTRACT THEM CUZ YOU WANTED TO GET RID OF US!!
* Shade: What?! No!! I wasn't trying to do so! (Quietly) Tempting as it is, honestly.
* Jokey: But you admit of using us as distraction bitches to make jackasses out of those Sealonies while their beloved treasure gets hijacked?
* Comet: Actually yes, I'm PRETTY sure that was the plan. (The Loungers stared angrily at Shade)
* Shade: IF IT HELPS, IT WAS A FLOP ANYWAY, AND I WAS GOING TO RETURN IT!
* Mr. Tetrus: It's NOT a matter of whether or not it was gonna work or not. It's a matter of the fact, that you would consider it at all and expect no consequence from it!
* Jokey: Now for all we know, Atoll may as well have decided the surface world means jacks\*\*\* to her now!!
* Cen: Indeed. What do you have to say for yourself, Princess Shade?
* Shade: Look, don't get the wrong idea for once! I never would've done it, but I had no choice. You 'heroes' didn't give me one. You don't just dance around in a festival letting your guard down, shoot fireworks in the sky, and expect everything to work out! It's not enough. YOU'RE not enough!
* Commander: WHA-I-JU-BU-WE ALMOST HAD A WAY TO FIX THIS!! WE WERE THIS CLOSE AND WE GOT THE MORALE TO SHOW WE CAN BE JUST AS LEGENDARY AS THE LODGERS!! WE WERE ACTUALLY SUCCEEDING FOR ONCE!! THEN YOU RUINED IT!!! WHY CAN'T YOU JUST TRUST US?! It's not like it'd kill you.
* Shade: Why don't you ask the poor souls you got into Conquerius' hands, hmm? The idea may not kill us, but THE CONTINUING EXECUTION OF IT WILL! Why should I trust someone who constantly makes mistakes, never learns from them, doesn't know when to get serious OR grow up, has the gall to be extremely embarrassing to even the Lodgers' name, and even POISONS THE MINDS OF PEOPLE TO WHERE THEY DON'T TAKE THIS EQUALLY SERIOUSLY?!
* Comet: (Sees that Shade was just pushing it now) Well, it's not like we turned around and went back to help them, Shade! That's all our fault too!
* Shade: With those Censens, there was NOTHING we could do. It's THEIR fault they found them in the first place.
* Tina: "Ya know, say they had been as quiet as a church vrat and were as serious as a UIS guard, it's possible that Temptra was after us anyway and would've STILL found us in a less ready state! At worse what happened was just an acceleration of the inevitable! An equally bad sin I'm sure, but odds are, Tempera wasn't nessersarly dependent of bad calls to cause trouble! Everything that happened would've happened away, albeit slower, BUT WOULD'VE STILL HAPPENED?!
* Shade:..... Are you guys really not getting it? First they let their guard down because of childish games and then they cost us all our family and friends by giving away our position with fireworks!
* Jokey: Well, now you're one to talk given you f\*\*\*\*d everything up for us when we were actually doing something right for once. Also, your own friend said that even if we were unrealistically as competent as something out of a perfection dimension, Tempra would've FUCKED us over anyway!
* Shade: WELL, HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW SOMETHING LIKE THAT WOULD HAPPEN?! I didn't figure you would actually be able to reason with that sea-c\*\*t! And how could I? I figured she would've just rolled her eyes boringly on how overhyped you guys were! Besides, you probably would've ended up somehow ruining that afterwards anyway!
* Tina: Actually, she sounded very reluctant to having to turn on them like that. A lot of that WAS mainly because of you, Shade.
* Shade: YOU STAY OUT OF THIS IF YOU AREN'T ON MY SIDE, YOU UNHELPFUL CYNICAL MORONS!! (The Lonies gasped)
* Ruuber: Now hold on! There is NO call to call your friends and fellow members of the Sun Gems morons because they couldn't support your ill-decisions.
* Shade: (Sighs) I'm sorry, but I'm doing the best I can! It's not that simple. This is NOT a cartoon where you wish upon a star and your insipid dreams automatically come true.
* Jokey:... Technically, we're pretty much fan creations based on pre-established media characters in a spinoff series based on the main crossover series based on one of several overused tropes of said series, so by extension-
* Shade: I MEANT IN A REALISTIC SENSE, YOU IDIOT!! DON'T RUIN THE POINT WITH THAT POST-MODERNISM CRAP!!! (The heroes stood shocked at her outburst)... This is too serious for any of the nonsense you have been throwing. After you screwed up, left us at our weakest and the queen forced me to go along with you even after what you did... I couldn't take it anymore! So how was I to know that this was the ONE time you'd actually do something right?!
* Pho: That's what your FRIENDS here are for, and you just tie them up in your quarters when they were only trying to help? I thought those Dark Radicals were creeps, but you? I could just barf!
* Commander: Me too! In fact, I think I might have done it already. Queen Atoll was right! You think you're the one who knows better than anyone else, but you're just being a classic case of a begger being a chooser! You're the one who needs to grow up and stop whining about what didn't happen and make the most out of life instead of crying and moaning about it like a big-eared baby, cause let me tell you something, 'your highness', you can scold and ridicule us all you want, but you can't change who we are!
* Scoro: Exactly. We are who we are, and no matter how powerful you are, you cannot change that.
* Shade: WELL THEN MAYBE THE UUNIVERSES WOULD BE BETTER OFF WITHOUT HEROES LIKE YOU!!!
* Jokey: (The Loungers and her friends are shocked at those words)... (Gets miffed)...... Can you say, UNGRATEFUL BITCH?!
* (Icky): Ungrateful bitch! Shadey, ya just made the same mistake Twilight almost did during her second run-in with the Storm King.
* (Shade): Look, it wasn't one of my finest moments, if not the worst. I thought I was doing what was best for my home because I hardly knew them and they looked like bootlegs that were more of a liability. (Sighs) The effects weren't exactly passable.
* ZongueBob:...
* Sonny:...
* Scoro:... Okay, your highness!... If that's how you feel... Then perhaps we've done our part. Come on everyone!
* Elmen: But... But we've gone so far.
* Scoro: Well, I'm certain for once they can finish the rest if she thinks so. (The Oxydome opened up and much of the Loungers left)
* Ziden: (She looked awfully scornful and upset at Comet)... And just when I was starting to like you again, Strike! You have the worst choice of friends I've ever seen.
* Comet: Ziden, babe, please, I tried to stop her.
* Ziden: Yet you didn't. Now if you'll excuse us, we have to apologize to our heroes.
* Trixa: Hmmph! Trixa can't even look at you anymore, Princess Shade! Consider yourself, worse princess. (The two entered the Oxydome)...
* Glamour:... Shade, they were right! While far from flawless, at least they tried to help.
* Shade: Well, I had no way of knowing that!
* Spunky: Except' us, if ya just taken the moment to GET OFF OF YOUR ELITIST HIGH-HORSE FOR 10 SECONDS?!
* Tina: Exactly! We told you this was wrong, and you turned us away. You're a horrible princess!
* Shade: (Bewildered by Tina's statement)... What?
* Spunky: Yeah. Gotta agree with Tina there, it's time for me to be serious for once. Though we'd be lying if we said we didn't worry what mistake they'd do next, at least they meant well, and that was all that mattered. They just, needed to be directed better, and under someone that was going to give them a chance. But you make it sound like they INTENDED to mess everything up. If they wanted us gone, they had plenty of other opportunities to do it. They are not bad people. They were going to get Equaria the help it needed. The only thing that stopped them, was YOU!
* Shade: Well can you blame me after what just happened? Most of my home and everything I care about, everything WE care about, is in danger. I have defended Equaria since even before the Lodgers came, and even we weren't enough. Yet it's all on me. I'm the one Tempera and Starbright want. I'm the last royal figure left to fix everything.
* Spunky: You're also the one who doesn't trust any available aide when we're not enough, NOR DO YOU TRUST EVEN YOUR OWN FRIENDS! We may not all be Omni-Lony perfect, but given how you as an Omni-Lony are acting right now, it's easy to see not a lot of things tend to be perfect.
* Buckroot: Nor should they be. Nothing is 100% perfect, and everyone is and should be different.
* Tina: Indeed! Besides, you wouldn't even be here if it weren't for us. YOU didn't defend Equaria for years! WE did it together. We're the ones who gave you hope and purpose, because we trusted each other. And if you can't trust THEM NOR us when we tried to keep you from making a huge mistake... Then why should we trust you? (Shade was taken back by those words, finally realizing her mistake)
* (Lefou): It was at this moment that Shade knew... She f\*\*\*\*d up! \*Slap\* OW!
* Tina: Didn't think we'd go THERE, did you? Well, we did! So if you think it's all on you, maybe you're better off without friends like us.
* Shade: Uh, hey now, Keen, this is, this is no time for jokes!
* Tina: JOKES?!? YOU THINK THIS IS A JOKE?!? (The five were appalled) YOU THINK I'M KIDDING?! EVEN SPUNKY IS BEING SERIOUS NOW?!
* Shade: Wait-wait-wait, that came out wrong-
* Tina: Well then we shouldn't trust you at all if you think we're dumb enough to bluff at a time like this. We're leaving. (They started walking away)
* Shade: Wa-Wait, guys, I didn't mean it like that. I just, thought I was going to lose more than I have already thanks to all this crap.
* Comet:... You just did! (They left, leaving Shade to feel guilty)
* Shade: Guys! Wait!! I'm sorry! It's, it's the stress talking!! I MEAN, HOW ELSE WAS I SUPPOSE TO ACT SINCE OUR ENTIRE PLANET'S IN DANGER OF BEING CONQUERED BY A MADMAN AND TWO LONY TRAITORS?! Okay, I get it, beggers can't be choosers, so, why not just accept the Loungers for what they're worth and- Guys?! Girls! Comet!...... Guys? (The group was gone as Shade began to sob, then fell down and started crying hysterically. Then appearing from the Shadows were Tempera and Starbright)
* Tempera:... I almost pity you, princess. (Shade gasped and saw the duo)..... All you wanted was for those aliens and your little camaraderie to take this a bit more seriously. Well, now you know how I felt about how this world acts and takes it's domestic and outside threats with a grain of salt. This is why otherworldly trust is dangerous.
* Starbright: Well, I just felt like that there's no challenge anymore. With the Loungers gone and your friends deserting you, this is now almost, insultingly easy. (Conquerius' Censen soldiers came forth).... Oh well, anti-climatically-gained spoils of war are still spoils of war.
* Tempera:... Seize her! (The Censen soldiers closed in as Shade blasted at them, but they absorbed her magic blasts and added them to their power, unleashing much more powerful pulse blasts as she rolled out of the way. The Censens overwhelmed her as her magic was useless and they captured her, casting a battlemagium cage around her)... Easy as poe.
* Gooby: Oh, I love poe!
* Shade: (They dragged her away) HELP!!! HEEELPPPP!!!!
* Starbright: Boys? (She faces a few bumbling Censens who shapeshifted frantically in shock)... I want those five friends of hers in my custody. They MUST be converted.
* Tempera: (To some more Censens) That goes for you bunch as well. We were giving a generous opportunity to take advantage of their petty squabbling. Let's not waste it. (The Censens saluted)

(Tempera's Story)

* Shade: (She and her friends were in cages without their uniforms and equipment as they were frantically trying to break free) Not you guys too!
* Comet: (He was slamming his legs and hooves aggressively) LEMME OUT!! LEMME OUT!! NO-NO-NO, LEMME OUT!!!
* Buckroot: Hon, save your energy, it's just not gonna work. It's battlemagium after all.
* Comet: (He made teeth-clenched gibberish in aggravation)
* Starbright: (She and Tempera arrived) Welcome back home, citizens!
* Shade: Equality City is not our home, AND WE ARE NOT YOUR CITIZENS!!! I ORDER YOU TO LET US GO!!
* Starbright: I'm done taking orders from somelony who thinks the revelation mark supremacy is right. They had their judgment day.
* Spunky: We're sorry for what happened to you, but it's not the fault of the revelation marks.
* Tempera: You're only half correct. It's both their fault and the fault of this cruel uncaring world. You all think the world is just sunshine and poppies, but that soon changes for lonies like us when overreliance on outsiders are involved. Let us tell you how the world REALLY works, and how the world will never play in anyone's favor, and especially the danger of relying on outside forces like the Loungers. (She sung this while explaining that she lost her horn and mind to a monster, got shunned by everyone, and then got her magic immunity powers when being forced to steal from stubborn races who refused to help her)

* Tempera: (They were brought to a ruined landscape)... This was where I was raised! Just look at it! Ruined by a megaspell abused by a monstrous despot craving revenge that we put our trust in. My father and everylony there are all but a bad memory thanks to the favors of Conquerius! We put our trust in the wrong person and the despot ended up betraying us. I learned that the hard way when I was too blind to see that. I lost my horn, got shunned by everyone, and nobody wanted to help. Nobody in this world cares for lonies. This is what happens when a planet relies too much on outsiders like the Loungers, Lodgers, Heroes Act, and Mooku.
* Starbright: Awful, isn't it? This is why my way is the right way! Things like this are what my quest for no revelation marks will rid us of. We'll all be free from cruelty like what we both put up with!
* Tina: I hate to burst your bubble, but Conquerius and Tempera are both using you and that revelation mark vault to weaken you and make you easier to conquer. It is literally in his name.
* Starbright: HOW DARE YOU?! HE WISHES TO CONQUER THIS LAND BY MY SIDE TO PROTECT IT FROM THREATS LIKE MOOKU AND THE VILLAINS ACT!! FACE IT, FOOLS, YOU HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO ACCEPT THAT NO GOOD CAN COME FROM REVELATION MARKS, AND YES, EVEN OUTSIDERS!!! TEMPERA IS MY FRIEND, AND KNOWS HOW IT FEELS TO BE RUINED BY A CRUEL WORLD!! SHE WOULD NEVER LIE TO ME!! AS SOON AS EQUARIA IS CONVERTED, I WILL SERVE AS HIS SPOKESLONY FOR THE LAND- (She was trapped in a cage)... What the?
* Tempera: Sorry, Starbright! That's where I have no choice but to come clean. That vault or Equality City cannot be revealed to ANYONE.
* Starbright: WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?! IS THAT NOT THE POINT OF THIS MISSION? TO REVEAL THAT OUR GOAL IS THE RIGHT ONE?
* Tempera: Correction... It's YOUR goal. Me and Conquerius have our own goals. We have had it in our grasp for a long time, and we will not allow you to reveal it and expose our plans.
* Starbright: YOU... YOU HELPED ME TO HELP YOURSELVES?! YOU WERE MY COMMANDER, I THOUGHT WE WERE FRIENDS!!
* Tempera: I said it already. I stand alone. I only give my loyalties to Conquerius so I can have my horn restored and made stronger, rid our world of the overreliance of outsiders, and continue with a life on my own. Surely you saw this coming.
* Starbright: (Starting to sob) I didn't! I REALLY DIDN'T!!
* Tempera: (Feeling a bit bad about this)..... But, I'll ask Conquerius to spare you since I still care for you. Don't expect any miracles, though. Conquerius is picky about even slight deviations. Sorry to do this to a friend, really I am, but orders are orders.
* Comet:... We'd hate to-
* Starbright: DON'T, SAY IT!!!

#### **Defeating Conquerius and Starbright**

Equality City

* Conquerius: (He cackles as he enslaved all the Lonies within the city)... As soon as my army is fully prepared, the land I struggled so hard to take, will finally be mine. (He goes to the petrified Queens of Equaria) You four thought you could avoid me forever? BAH! It won't matter where your champions go, there's nowhere in this world where they can hide from me. NOWHERE! Tempera is not going to stop until she finds you. (Tempera came in with her friends and Starbright)... Ah, speaking of which.
* Tempera: They and the leader put up a bit of a fight with some alien friends, but they're alone now. They won't be a problem.
* Gooby: Hell yeah! We're gonna f\*\*\* some s\*\*\* tonight. They definitely won't interfere.
* Conquerius: I hope not. Not since we've come so far. This land has been sought by my family since the Interuniversal War. They died with these leaders' parents fighting to get it, and now it's my duty to avenge them. I mean, this world has been too intolerable to us because it seems a little too, oh, I dunno... **CUTE!!** I don't like cute! I never did like cute! We all never did. Doesn't really go with our whole big bad POWERFUL MAGIC CONQUERORS title, now does it? We've wanted the very capital of this world since we began our first conquering. Now finally, the time has come, for the Conqueror Clan to rise again! (He slams his scepter down but nothing happened)... To rise again!! (He did it again and nothing happened)... (The Lony heroes snickered at his expense as his eye twitched and he got angry) TO RISE AGAIN!!! (He slammed the scepter harder and it finally did something as the magic of all the Lony heroes were absorbed into the scepter)
* Princess Shade: URRGH! UGH! NOOO!!!
* Conquerius: (He cackles as the magic glowed across the city and the process was complete)... Well, now... QUITE the light show. Now let's see what it can do. (He blasted a charged powerful beam of magic that sent the nullified heroes flying weakly into the wall dazed and powerless)... Not bad. In fact, kinda topnotch. What else does it do?
* Tempera: Your excellency, you promised to restore my horn and-
* Conquerius: Yeah, yeah, I'll get to you, just gimme a minute. (He shifted the sun and moon)... BY THE UNREAL GODS!!! I CAN MOVE THE SUN AND MOON?! NOW THAT'S THE S\*\*\* I'M TALKING ABOUT! (He cackles as Starbright looked horribly at a guilty Tempera) Time to play! (He shifts the sun and moon rapidly) Trullday, Betwensday, Fineday, Treday!! Day, night, day, night, DAY-NIGHT-DAY-NIGHT-DAY-NIGHT, SUNRISE, SUNSET, DUBSTEP, DOOBY-DOOBY-DOO-DOO-DOO-DOO-DOO!!! OH MY GODS, I WILL NEVER GET TIRED OF THIS!!!

(Later...)

* Conquerius: (The Clam Loungers fought against his Censen forces) Hmmph! I should've known those new misfits wouldn't have the spines to go home! Well, they're too late! (He cast a powerful hurricane-tornado storm that sucked up everything in sight as the heroes held on or took cover) (Dubbed as Jafar) **YES!! YEESSSS!!! THE POWER!! THE ABSOLUTE POWEEERRR!!! THE WORLD IS MINE TO COMMAND, TO CONTROOOOLLL!!** (He cackles as intense lightning struck) Now, onto the Toognath in the Room! Tempera? Front and center!
* Tempera: Yes, FINALLY, your excellency! You are a true friend to me for this! You restore my horn, and I swear to use my magic to serve you-
* Conquerius: (Scoffs) You seriously still believe that at this point?! (Cackles as lightning struck, Tempora quickly lost her confidence as did Starbright) Nobody here cares about your dinky little Lony horn! You forgotten what I told you a long time ago! I have no friends and I must NEVER have them. They are a liability. A weakness. Something to hold you back, and you knew it. I was gonna ask you to go make sure our forces are encouraged. But now I see, that this was just for that STUPID HORN OF YOURS!! LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, TEMPERA: I DON'T APPRECIATE BEING USED LIKE THAT!! LIKE EVERYONE ELSE IN MY ARMY, YOU'RE NO FRIEND! I, OWN YOU!! BUT NOW YOU'VE FULFILLED YOUR PURPOSE!! (Dubbed as Tirek) YOU HELPED ME GROW AS STRONG AS A THOUSAND SUNS, YOU'VE PROVIDED THE MEANS FOR ME TO CONQUER THE WORLD BY IT'S HEART AND AVENGE MY FAMILY! And now I no longer have any use for you.
* Tempera:... So... That's it? All I was to you... WAS A SLAVE THAT YOU'RE JUST DUMPING INTO THE GARBAGE?!
* Starbright: (Quietly) D'oh, I hate it when heroes end up being right about something!
* Conquerius: GET WITH THE DAMN PROGRAM!!! I USED YOU BECAUSE YOU USED ME!!
* Tempera: But WHY?! I WAS STARTING TO TRUST YOU!!
* Conquerius: IT'S WHAT I DO, YOU FOOLISH EQUINE!!! YOU THINK I'LL SIMPLY STAND BEING USED AS A MEANS TO AN END?! WE, ARE THE CONQUEROR CLAN!!! IF YOU THINK THAT I WAS GOING TO LOOK OVER THIS AND MAKE FRIENDS WITH A WEAK-MINDED EQUINE WHO OFFERS NOTHING... THEN YOU ARE AS STUPID AS BOTH YOUR PARENTS!!
* Tempera:... What?
* Shade/Starbright: What?
* Conquerius: What, don't you recognize me? WELL ALLOW ME TO JOG YOUR MEMORY... TEMPTED FATE!!! (He fired at her and they got into a beam lock which she recognized was what Conquerius did to her mother to break her horn)...
* Tempera:... YOU... YOU KILLED MY MOTHER!!!
* Conquerius: That much is actually inaccurate. In all accuracy, I TORMENTED YOUR DINGHY LITTLE MOMMY AND TURNED HER INTO A CRYING LITTLE WRECK OF A ROGUE SOLDIER!! I had to find an opportunity to discourage your kind... And when I met you and recognized you... You BECAME that opportunity! (Tempera was shocked)... You seem wounded. LET ME HEAL YOU!!! (They discharged magic blasts that knocked the two away as Conquerius fell dazed and Tempera was holding on for dear life as the storm was pulling her in)
* Starbright: NO!! (She saved Tempera as she couldn't hold on any longer)... Hang on, Tempera!
* Tempera:... Why are you saving me after all I did to you?
* Starbright:... Because this is what friends do. (Tempera was overjoyed to hear this as they embraced once she pulled her in)... Sorry about all this, but surely you saw this coming.
* Tempera:... I didn't. I really didn't.... But I have something better. (The two hugged)
* Conquerius: NAAAWWW, isn't that just SOOO SWEET?!? It would be an UTTER pity for it to be for nothing! (Cackles) Yeah... (He charged his scepter for killing)... Goodbye!
* Shade: LEAVE THEM ALONE!!! (Shade and her friends tackled him as he lost concentration as the blast went into flux due to compromised control as they tried to grab the scepter) GET OUTTA HERE!! GO!! (The two hesitantly ran off)

(Later...)

* Conquerius: (The six lonies continued holding off Conquerius until he threw them off) GET OFF ME, YOU ANNOYING LITTLE ZORSE-DOLLS!!! (He blasted them into a wrecked hallway as the blast caused the scepter to be further out of balance with it's power) Oh, Gods, this thing's broken! I'd better call for digital repa- (Sonny and the Oceonous group along with Ziden and Trixa flew straight into him) DAAAH!! (He rolled into debris as his scepter was stuck in a stain-glass window as the power was out of control and caused reckless damage)
* Atrick:... THAT WAS FUN!!! DO IT AGAIN!!!
* Sonny: That's the last time I let Atrick do all the strategies!
* Shade: Guys! You actually came back. I-I'm so sorry! I was wrong to-
* Sonny: Look, your highness, we were wrong too! We didn't exactly acknowledge your own pain when we were doing our thing. The craziness regarding this mission and our mistakes is not something to be worked up about. But I'd like to remind you that there's a crazy magic scepter out of control, and if we don't get it before Conquerius, we'll all be Thexus Toast!
* Comet: I couldn't have said it better! (They struggled to get the scepter until Conquerius came out angry)
* Conquerius: GET AWAY, IT'S MINE!!! (He dodged the lightning blasts as they tussled for the scepter as the storm outside made it difficult as the Loungers were held back by Conquerius as they still held him back long enough for the Lony heroes to get close to the staff as Buckroot tied them to a rock with a rope) MINE!! GET AWAY FROM THE STAFF, DO YOU HEAR ME?! IT'S MINE!!! (He lunged as ZongueBob grabbed onto him and caused him to lose balance)
* Shade: NOOO!! (The two shattered the window sucking Conquerius, Shade, and ZongueBob into the storm screaming)
* Tina: SHADE!!
* Sonny: ZONGUEBOB!!! (Suddenly, magical auras saved ZongueBob and Shade, these auras coming from Starbright and Tempera)
* ZongueBob:... Starbright? Tempera? You saved us?
* Starbright:... Well...... Try not to overanalyze it. So it turned out the filthy ape wasn't a good investment of my time. Saving you two was more in line of truce courtesy than anything else. (Shade knew that Starbright had far greater reasons for it and wanted to bring attention to that)
* ZongueBob: (Quietly) Let her say what she wants, Princess. At least it's a step in the right direction.
* Tempera: I also want to address that, you were right about Conquerius. He was no different than this 'Storm King' these 'Lodgers' talked about. We were both fools to trust him.... Myself even more.
* Starbright: Speaking of which, whatever happens to him now couldn't've come soon enough.
* Conquerius: (He was seen spiraling out of control as he was being flung away from his scepter) I, CAN'T LOSE!! NOT LIKE THIS!! (The winds flung him straight into the scepter and got impaled by it) GAAAAAAAAH!!... I, wanted to get back to the scepter... But not like this! (He began to die as he was turned to obsidian stone as both he and scepter were tossed far away from the kingdom and the two shattered upon impact, releasing all the magic and restoring the power stolen from the Lonies, and freeing the Queens)
* Caelestis: -GRYKHS!
* Nether: -OFF ME!!
* Transcendra: -MONSTERS!!
* Horizona: -ME!!!!... (The four sisters discovered they were free)
* Sonny: No need to worry. You four were turned to stone and robbed of your magic. But the nightmare is over now. (The heroes began to celebrate, as Starbright was taking Tempera away from the group)

Outside Equality City

* Tempera: I don't understand. Why are we leaving? Did we not redeem ourselves?
* Starbright: Oh, we did. It's just that heroes tend to be fickle. No amount of acknowledgment we messed up will spare us the Stoney Lonesome. So we're better off vamoosing while we still can.
* ???: You're not going anywhere! (The heroes arrived)
* Shade:... You almost steal our revelation marks like you did to the entire population of this city, and you expect to be left off the hook even when you save us? This is wrong and we're going to put a stop to it!
* Starbright: You stay off of my city! This is staying as it is!
* Shade: As princess of Equaria, I ORDER YOU TO SURRENDER IMME-
* Starbright: **QUIET!!!** (They stood silent)... You all don't understand what it was like to give up a friend by force because of some millennia-old outdated policies. That school was horrible to think they could tell me who to be friends with. I don't care if it's banned or the retarded careless asshole was fired and ostracized! The damage was done, and I won't stop for anything until you get it through your thick skulls: NOTHING GOOD CAN COME FROM REVELATION MARKS!!!
* Shade: Then by law, I'll have to turn you in! You resisted royal orders and-
* Starbright: I SAID QUIET!!! (She blasted them off as the inhabitants took notice) YOU ALL BETTER STAY OUT OF EQUALITY CITY, OR I WILL HAVE YOU PUNISHED!!! I DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE ROYALTY, I FORBID ANY INTERFERENCE THAT THREATENS THE GOOD SOCIETY OF THIS CITY!!!
* Ziden: Tempera, you're not seriously agreeing to this nonsense, are you?
* Tempera:... (She got angry and stood with Starbright) It is NOT nonsense! I told you the reason I thought I was better off alone, because I couldn't have a friend. But SHE'S a Lony with whom I can identify. She lost everything because the world was too cruel, just like me. To learn that my life was a lie, it proves my point. You'll never grow if you depend on others. And the two of us? We are friends that look out for each other. We made this a place where lonies can live outside any cruelty the world has to offer. We worked so hard to make it independent on any other land or kingdom, and we'll be damned if we let you all ruin it!
* Tina: THIS CITY HAS INHABITANTS THAT ARE NOT PUBLICLY COMPATIBLE TO VISITORS!! YOU FORCE ANYLONY WHO ENTERS TO LISTEN TO YOU, AFTER NULLIFYING THEIR TALENTS AND STEALING THEIR REVELATION MARKS THROUGH CONTRABAND TECHNOLOGY!!! THEY ARE NOTHING WITHOUT THEM!!!
* Starbright: Sacrifices have to be made for the greater good! The revelation marks ruined me, and thus they are not allowed to exist!
* Sonny: You're a fool for blaming the marks themselves for your lost friendship! You just learned in a bad setting.
* Starbright: Even so, what good are the marks themselves? Where did they come from? What supremacist d\*\*\*\*\*h righteous asswipe thought a supremacy of butt tattoos was a good idea? What good are they when things like this make us weak without them? Well, Equality City is one day going to solve that problem! I don't want ANY of you complicating this further!
* Tempera: Uh, Starbright?
* Starbright: What?! (She saw the Equality City inhabitants overhearing them)... Aw, crap. Uh, listen, about what I just said-
* Lony #1: All this... Was just a lie?
* Starbright: NO!! OF COURSE NOT!! I'M DOING THIS FOR US!
* Lony #2: YOU'RE DOING THIS FOR YOURSELF!! YOU LIED TO US!!
* Starbright: NO!! I JU-
* Shade: YOU LIED, STARBRIGHT! You lied to them! You lied to yourself! You-
* Starbright: SHUT UP ALREADY!!! (She blasted at her again as she hit a rock)... This is for the good of our people!! I found that revelation mark vault thanks to Conquerius! I don't know who made it, but my conscience is clear: Revelation marks are dangerous!
* Lony #3: You say that as if they were never meant to exist! But they've done nothing wrong. What happened to you was not their fault!
* Tempera: You all must understand. We're doing this so we don't have anyone like Conquerius destroying our way of life!
* Zhigu: I think these guys have it in good hooves.
* Starbright: YOU STAY OUT OF THIS!!!
* Pho: HEY, DON'T TALK TO MASTER ZHIGU LIKE- (Starbright blasted him in the groin) OOOOOO-HOO-HOO-HOO!!! MY TENDERS!!!
* Starbright: Tempera? If they interrupt me again, kill them!
* Tempera: I, Starbright, I think this is going a little-
* Starbright: ARE YOU MY FRIEND OR AREN'T YOU?! (Tempera sighed in defeat) Now, she's right! This is the only way to ensure our safety within Equaria. Threats can use our magic physiology against us, and the revelation marks are the pinnacle of that weakness. I forbid a word out of you all about this!! I want the disappearing shield up immediately! I won't have anymore setbacks!
* Lony Guard #1: We follow you no more! We will fight against this injustice, or fall trying!
* Starbright: (Growls angrily) YOU MISFITS WILL PAY FOR THIS!! TEMPERA!! ACTIVATE THE SHIELD! DON'T LET ANYTHING- (The Loungers attacked in response as she fell in the dirt and she came out angry)... I WARNED YOU!!! (She displayed Starlight levels of magic knowledge and skills fighting off the Lodge)... FINE! TEMPERA!! WE'RE ACTIVATING THAT SHIELD TOGETHER!! IF YOU IDIOTS FOLLOW ME, YOU'RE RISKING GOING TO LIMBO WITH US!!
* Lony Guard #2: You will not enter this city- (Tempera blasted the guards unconscious as they raced for the shield generator)
* Master Cen: WE CAN'T LET THEM REACH THAT GENERATOR!!
* Glora: WELL, IF WE FAIL, WE GO OUT LIKE HEROES!!
* ZongueBob: AFTER THEM!!

#### **Starbright Swears Revenge**

(After a chase on par with the climax of the Cutie Map Two Parter, the shield generator was destroyed and the power was down)

* Starbright:... YOU MEDDLING FOOLS!!!
* Shade: Starbright Shatter, for resisting royal orders, you are under arrest!
* Tempera: (She sparked her horn in defense) You stay away from her!
* Jokey: "Okay, maybe we got off on the wrong foot here. How's about we all calm down before-"
* Tempera: Silence! Let me assure you all... This is not over! (The duo teleported away)
* Jokey: "......... How do the Lougers handle people like that?!"
* Xoriago: "Clearly alot better then we did."
* Lady Hush: "(Sigh), We're too amature for this kind of work."
* Trigress: But at least it's over.
* Trixa: Yes... But Trixa has a question... Whatever happened to Conquerius' ape stooge?
* Cadet:... Yeah, where's Gooby?

Earlier...

* Gooby: (He was seen wandering the battlefield of the climax)... Where is everybody? Why didn't I GET TO THROW A SINGLE PUNCH THIS TIME?!
* ???: (A firedrake-bird beast similar to the Gwythaints came in roaring)
* Gooby:... Well, I'll take what I can get! (He takes out his magic knives) I'M HAVING ROAST CHRAKKEN TONIGHT!!! (He charged) YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-

Present

* Commander: DAAAAAH, I'm sure he'll be fine.
* Gooby: YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHOOPPEE!!! (He came in riding the Chrakken) THANKS FOR FREEING ME FROM THAT HORNHEAD CONQUERIUS, GUYS!!! I ALWAYS HATED HIM!!! HE USED ME LIKE A STRESS TOY!!! WE'LL MEET AGAIN SOON... MAYBE! WE'LL JUST LET FATE DECIDE! SIANARA, BIOTCHES!!!
* Commander:... See? My gut never lies.
