Line 66:

The ponies of [[Equestria]] prepare for their first Friendship Festival, overseen by Princess Twilight Sparkle in Canterlot. The festivities are interrupted by an army of monsters commanded by the [[unicorn]] Tempest Shadow, who is ordered by her superior, the Storm King, to capture Equestria's princesses and empower his mystical staff with their magic in exchange for restoring her broken horn. Tempest uses magical orbs to petrify the princesses except for Twilight, who escapes with her six friends: Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, and the dragon Spike.

Following incomplete instructions from Princess Celestia, Twilight's groupand setsher friends set out to find the "queen of the hippo" beyond Equestria. They arrive at the desert city of Klugetown, where Twilight's friendsthey accept an offer by a con artist feline named Capper to escort them to the "[[Hippopotamus|hippos]]", unaware asthat he intends to sell them to settle a debt he owes to local mob boss Verko. As Capper begins to develop a genuine friendship with them, Twilight discovers an atlas that reveals the "hippos" to be [[hippogriff]]s. Just as they're about to leave, Verko arrives to buy them, exposing Capper's treachery. When Tempest arrives in pursuit of Twilight, the group evades her aboard a delivery airship run by birdlike pirates, whom Rainbow Dash persuades to take them to the hippogriffs' kingdom on Mount Aris. However, she accidentally gives their location away to Tempest with a Sonic Rainboom, forcing the group to reach Mount Aris in a makeshift hot-air balloon.

While exploring the hippogriffs' deserted kingdom, Twilight's group is led by the [[Hippocampus (mythology)|seapony]] Princess Skystar to her home of Seaquestria in an underwater cavern. Skystar reveals her kind to be the hippogriffs, transformed by a magic pearl used by her mother, Queen Novo, to hide from the Storm King, which she denies giving to the group to use against the Storm King. Twilight, fed up and frustrated by her friends' carefree antics throughout the journey, attempts to steal it while letting her friends unknowingly distract the seaponies. Her plan backfires when she triggers an alarm shortlyright after Pinkie persuades Novo to give them the pearl, resulting inNovo angrily banishing the entire group getting banished back to the surface. Twilight and Pinkie get into a heated argument over the former's actions, ending with Twilight furiously disowning Pinkie as a friend. The group abandons Twilight, unknowingly allowing her to be finally captured by Tempest, who gains her sympathy as she reveals the loss of her own horn as a foal that caused her own friends to leave her of her unstable magic.

Offended, the group, barring Spike, leave Twilight to cool down their anger, unknowingly allowing her to be finally captured by Tempest, who gains her sympathy as she reveals the loss of her own horn as a foal due to an Ursa Minor attack caused her own friends to leave her of her unstable magic.

Upon learning of her kidnapping from Spike, Twilight's friends immediately spring into return to Canterlot to rescue her with the help of a reformed Capper, the pirates, and Skystar, who have followed them after being inspired by their friendship. Using his newly empowered staff, the Storm King conjures a storm against the group and betrays Tempest. Twilight saves Tempest and quickly reconciles with her friends, who help her recover the staff, ending the storm. The Storm King hurls a magical orb to petrify the group, but Tempest jumps in his way, turning them both into stone. The Storm King falls and shatters, while the group uses the staff to revive Tempest, who returns the stolen magic to restore the princesses and repair the city. The Friendship Festival resumes with the ponies celebrating alongside everyone Twilight and her friends encountered on their adventure. Encouraged by Twilight, Tempest joins in by producing a [[fireworks]] display with her broken horn, and happily accepts the group's friendship.<!-- The reveal of Tempest's real name is not integral to the plot.
