MLP/Kamen Rider Fourze: Friendship Between The Worlds * Me and Kamen Fanatic!*

"Yeah... Hope the owners haven't arrived yet." Riptide said, swimming over to the door.

"Owners? Of what?" Applejack asked, looking at Riptide.

"The businesses that Hippocampus raided today." Riptide answered and opened the door, and the sounds of complaining rushed out into the once-peaceful gardens.

"Whoa! They're up in arms today!" Gentaro yelled, holding his hands over where his ears were.

-----

"This is the SIXTH time that monster made quick work of my security team! My pockets are going into the red from paying medical fees and in hazard pay!" One Sea Pony yelled, looking like he was part of a private security team.

"This is the SEVENTH time that monster shredded our vaults! That thief has made off with the last Ocean Star shipment of the year!" One Sea Pony yelled as well, looking like she was a bank clerk.

"My business was demolished by that attack of his! Just how long will you not treat this problem yourself?!" One Sea Pony yelled, looking like he was a jewelry carver.

Similar such yelling was emitted as the group arrived in the throne room of Queen Tsunami, and found a lot of mad Sea Ponies. Like Celestia's throne room, it was quite spacious and long, with stained glass windows depicting with stories of brave Sea Ponies in the past.

As for Queen Tsunami herself, she was in Alicorn form, with her body a polished sapphire blue, with her hooves a moss green color. Her front hooves had a flipper close to the knee. Her mane looked like that of the traditional Alicorn energy mane, with hers a mixture of various greens, blues, and violets. Her eyes were a nice sea blue. Her flank was adorned with a high wave Cutie Mark, meaning she has serious water magic at her control. Her tail was odd; instead of a horse's tail, it was a blue whale fluke. She was trying to please the crowd, but it was clear that she has lost control of the argument storm it has now become.

-----

"As am I. Pray tell what are we striving for again?" Phoenix asked, turning over to Alicorn.

Twilight looked to the others, honestly unsure of whether or not they should intervene.

Rarity gave it some quick thinking. On one hand, they couldn't let the Queen flounder, no pun intended, but on the other, they couldn't just barge in and embarrass her by coming to the rescue. She finally came to a conclusion. She clear her throat loudly, getting the crowd's attention. "Queen Tsunami," she said, bowing to the queen. "We are the ambassadors from Equestria, the Crystal Kingdom, the Griffin Lands, and New Flutter Valley Queen Galaxia sent word of. We also brought the expert on the creature that's attacking your kingdom," she said, giving a wink to the queen, hoping she'd play along. While the royalty didn't outright lie to their subjects, none of the Princesses seemed above twisting the truth for their betterment. In this case, it'd likely ease minds if they believed their queen had summoned an expert on their enemy.

As Queen Tsunami was about to speak, the crowd turned to the group and inhaled deeply. Dash saw this and jumped at Adina.

"GET RID OF THAT BEAST!!!!"

With that off their chests, the Sea Ponies business owners left with a "harrumph!", swimming away with raised heads and closed eyes. Left in the wake of their tremendous shout was a floored Ambassador group, scattered from the shout.

"Wow. They have lungs." A dazed Dash said, shakily getting up over Adina, having shielded her from most of the shout.

"I deeply apologize for that scene. The Sea Pony race are far more vocal with their problems, and they are not afraid to yell." Queen Tsunami said, using magic to help the group stand back up.

Rarity shook it off. "It's fine," she said, getting back to her hooves. "They're open minded I suppose."

Twilight took a step forwards and bowed. She then went through introducing the group, though once more let Fluttercruel explain her own origin as Discord's daughter. Twilight then presented Queen Tsunami with the crystal Celestia had given her as a good will gift to the sea pony queen. She then turned it over to Gentaro.

"Your highness. My name is Kisaragi Gentaro, otherwise known as Kamen Rider Fourze. The creature that has been pilfering from your banks is called a Zodiarts, a creature made of Cosmic Energy themed after constellations written in the night sky.

"However, this particular Zodiarts is a member of a 12-man group called the Horoscopes, as they are based off of the modern Pony horoscopes. He's the Hippocampus Zodiarts, and is based off of your race." Gentaro explained.

"Cosmic Energy, huh?" Queen Tsunami asked, looking at the jewel Twilight had presented to her. "So, how do we stop him?" She asked, placing it aside.

"By using the power of Cosmic Energy against him. However, Hippocampus is not alone down here. Somehow, a second Horoscopes Zodiarts, Phoenix, found this place and gave Hippocampus the means to ascend." Gentaro said, rubbing his neck.

"I will handle the firebird. You'll deal with this thief." Queen Tsunami said, getting up.

"Milady!" Riptide exclaimed in shock.

"While no one has been killed yet, I will no longer stand aside while this abomination steals my subjects' wealth." Queen Tsunami said firmly, getting Riptide to bow.

"Considering Queen Rosedust beat the tar out of Fairy, I don't doubt she can," said Lightning Flicker. "But Queen Tsunami, be aware that Phoenix is capable of resurrecting himself from his ashes, the only way to permanently defeat him is to defeat him where there's no light."

Twilight nodded. "On another note, Queen Cosmica wants the Sea Ponies to rejoin the other Pony Races after so long," she said, as respectfully as possible.

"No light, huh? Looks like we'll have to take him outside the city's perimeters." Queen Tsunami said, then turned to Twilight.

"So, Cosmica wishes it? Then I'll gladly accept this alliance of our kinfolk." Tsunami said, smiling and nodding.

Twilight nodded. "Yeah...but how are we supposed to see?" she asked. "We can't see down there like you can..."

"I have night vision goggles...but I don't think they'd work while we're transformed," Pinkie Pie added.

"In the mean time," said Rarity. "We'd best try to figure out WHO Hippocampus is."

Applebloom looked up to her sister. "Sis, yah sure yer ok?"

"Leave that to me." Tsunami said, and begin forming up a plan.

"Yeah, of course." Applejack said, looking at Applebloom. However, she looked a tad pale in the face.

Applebloom nuzzled her big sis. "Alright..." she said, still clearly worried for her sibling.

"Alright...so, I guess we should go look things over?" asked Twilight. "See what the kingdom is and look for clues?"

OOC: This arc is when Applejack gets her Unity Form, right?

((Right.))

"Looks like the only choice we have at the moment." Miu pointed out, then took to the air.

Twilight nodded. "Alright, and remember, keep on your guard," she said, naturally heading to the library.

Fluttershy looked to Queen Tsunami. "Um...do you have any animals? I love animals...it's my cutie mark..."

Applebloom looked to her friends. "What should we do?"

"Right." The group said, and split up.

"Sure." Tsunami said, noticing the sunfish had arrived to rest, they looking like light bulbs with fins, with orange skin still glowing hot with spent energy, with tired grins on their faces. In the far corner of the sky, the glow of the moonfish were now lighting Aqualantria, taking up a waxing crescent position.

"Perhaps we can find a way to get our Cutie Marks." Scootaloo said. Personally, she was bummed she had to leave her trusty scooter behind, but considering that they were eventually going to go to the sea and to mountainous terrains, it would have been a moot point.

Fluttershy fluttered over and landed near them, being silent and peaceful so they'd investigate her on their own. She'd learned from her bought of temporary insanity during the Gala.

"But what can we earn em in down here?" Applebloom asked. "We're already at the bottom of the ocean, so Deep Sea Diving is out..."

Lightning Flicker flew over to Riptide. "So, what's the Sea Pony guard like? I'm the captain of the Flutterpony guard."

Gilda looked to Rainbow. "So, guess we're gonna see what Sea Pony sports are like?"

The sunfish, once in their resting places, looked over Fluttershy, and sensing no threat from (to them) the odd creature with wings. In fact, they could sense no malevolence of any kind from her, and allowed her to get close. Though considering that they were still glowing hot from a long day's work of illuminating the kingdom, "close" is a weak word to use.

"Pearl collecting?" Scootaloo asked.

"Ah, we make sure no one trespasses into the royal gardens, as it contains an oyster bed rich with pearl-bearing oysters, and keep an eye out for Tsunami if she runs off to masquerade as one of the populace if she decides to slack off work." Riptide said, the last sentence ending with a chuckle. "Dedicated she may be to her duty, Queen Tsunami has been one to sneak off and join the populace as a way to get away from the palace. Drives her attendant crazy for doing so." Riptide said. "The Queen is missing! Again! And she still has some bills to look over!" A call came out, it coming from a rather portly Sea Pony, who looked like a inflated porcupinefish.

"See?" Riptide said to Lightning Flicker, smiling widely as the attendant known as Quirrell began fussing over Tsunami's disappearance, getting an amused platoon of Sea Pony guards to come over. "Don't worry, Royal Attendant; we'll find her. Boss, you coming?" One Sea Pony guardsman asked, looking at Riptide. "I'll be down in a minute." Riptide called out.

"Yeah. I'm curious as to what the Sea Ponies do for sports." Dash said with a nod.
