In The Court of Maud

In The Court of Maud is the 6th Episode of Season 3B of the SpongeBob and Friends Adventures Chronicles series. Ever since Maud moved to Ponyville (Well, Ponyville Adjacent) in the beautiful underground cavern in the diamond mines, Pinkie and Friends couldn't enjoy Maud's company even more. Although the unfortunate situation involving Maud inadvertingly helping Starlight get the Cutie Mark Containment Device couldn't be kept secret since Maud was not good at being indesrect, thus prompting Pinkie to make everyone else to keep quiet about this in fearing of reptribution, though when asked why it was Maud and about how it should've been Fem Fatala being the one who did it, though Starlight quickly corrected that Fem lead Maud the rock exbert here to get rock advice, thus meaning that it was still Fem's doing. But Pinkie still made her friends keep a Pinkie Promise because she's afraid of losing Maud, in both that she would move from Ponyville in due to being arrested, as well as Maud losing her degree from the University for her mistake, dispite Maud saying that they're "Morally lenient" on what their graduates do from then on based on a Amoral-Driven Policy. But that still hasn't stopped Pinkie from worring about Maud's well being. Even if Starlight is reformed and Fem no longer being a threat, Maud is still guilty of aiding a rising Cutie Mark Communist guilty of other crimes, and even though an incredably small contribution, it nonetheless made the biggest effect on the situation. At first, everything seems fine, but then, a group of Hippgriff enforcers, lead by Admiral Claw-Hoof, arrived with the Royal Guard and the Wonderbolts in tow, reveiled that they came in with a warrent from the prince, son of the current ruler of the Hippogriff Lands, to arrest Maud Pie for the crime of exposing the location of the Cutie Mark containment device to a then-Cutie Mark communist, and risked a new Beak-Buck. In panic, Pinkie zipped off and went to warn Maud and try to get her a place to hide in! Unfortunately, a Hippogriff Spy pretending to be a tourest had long exposed Maud and lead to her arrest! It left Pinkie broken and devistated as she even lost her pink color along with the deflated mane. Twilight brings this attention to Celestia while Rainbow Dash goes to call out Spitfire for helping the Hippogriffs arrest Maud! Celestia in turn brings this to the Lougers attention for additional help as the Hippogriffs put Maud on trail. The Heroes confront the spy who exposed Maud, and with some "Extreme Measures" from Pinkie going to near Cupcakes-Levels of crazy, the spy reveiled that the Hippogriff prince, Prince Mane-Feather, has more in mind for Maud then just punishing her for the reveilment, though it has been used by him to bring the rock exbert to him because Maud's new cavern home is more then just a place of beauty. It is where the cavern will lead to a sacred lost treasure-eqse artifact long soughted by the Prince's family, and he wants to finally get that treasure, known as The Stone of Geo, an item with the power to make it's weilder unimaginably wealthy as it can control the currentcy of all of Equestia and the other countries, and if augumented, can even control all the money in the United Universes (And beyond if given even more power) and make the weilder the richest being of all the universes! But it comes with a price. The Artifact will turn you into a monster to symbolise your greed and condemn you to never be restored. That is what happened to Lord Geo G. Raphic, a griffin king that was so greedy even for Griffin standerds that he made his own race look generious in comparison, where because of his over-claiming of wealth, tainting him to become a giant gold-plated Lobster Monster, called a Gold-Ster, now going by the name Geoatoa, who is now nothing but a personication of the long gone king's greed who will go Russian Tamatoa on any who tries to claim his artifact and not only eat his victims, but spit them back out as golden statues to keep as a momento of his power and a warning to intruders, as he also has a Midas/Gorgon deal to him as if you give direct eye-conact while his eyes are glowing, you'll turn to solid gold. But when Maud and the Prince after the trial managed to get te Stone of Geo, not only will there be an enraged greedy monster with goldifying powers on the lose, but the Prince will waste no time collecting all currencty of the United Universes and beyond after forcing some kidnapped powerful unicorns, even Sunburst, to augment the Stone's power to take every form of money and golden currentcy from all worlds to impower himself while turning into a golden skaled dragon looking scaringly simular to Smaug from the modern Hobbit movies. Can our heroes stop another greed-based monster from rising while putting an obvious Tamatoa-Rip-Off in his place and ready for a new home in Tartarus? But most of all, can Maud, who was promised freedom by the dishonest prince but desided to jail her away after she protested about his aim to misuse the power and because he was annoyed by her lack of emotion, be saved, or will Pinkie lose a sister in more ways then one?

 * As Pinkie and Starlight leave Maud in the secret grotto, Maud sighed.
 * Maud brought out Bolder.
 * Maud: "I know it didn't went as planned Boulder. But look at it this way. At least we are out of each of those Hippogriffs. They wouldn't really think to look in Adjacent Ponyville."
 * Silence.
 * Maud: "I know it's not the Ghastly Gorge, but let's be honest, what good is having Quarray Eels being a deterent security system if it leads to them wanting to eat us?"
 * Silence.
 * Maud: "..... Don't get sassy with me, mister."
 * Silence.
 * Maud: "..... Look, how's about we calm down about this and talk about it tomorrow. And trust me. It was actselly as good as it was that we gradutated from the accadamy. Ever since...... That day."
 * Maud was seen returning to her room.
 * Professor Boulder came up to her.
 * Professor Boulder: "Oh, Miss Maud. I caught up with you. Can I, speak with you abit?"
 * Maud: "Sure thing professor. But I think I pretty much explained everything I did about the Rainbow Rock."
 * Professor Blouder: "Well, yes, but, I'm afraid I need to speak to you about, an irrelivent subject."
 * Maud: ".... What irrelivent subject?"
 * Professor Blouder: "Well, interestingly, of all things, the admiral of the Impure Hippogriffs wishes to talk to you. He wants to talk to you about your excabation in the Nowhere Lands."
 * Maud: ".... Why?"
 * ???: "I'll explain that myself, Professor."
 * A millaterry regel Hippogriff walked in, baring scarred eyes and an agressive look, being that he has the front of a cassowary, the wings of an eagle, and the the poy backside has tiger stripes.
 * Professor Boulder: "Ah, yes, Admiral. I'll, I'll let you two have your talk."
 * The Professor nerviously walks off, worried about Maud's well being.
 * Maud: "..... And what do I owe the occation?"
 * Hippogriff: "..... Madam, my name is Admiral Claw-Hoof. I am investigating a mysterious sighting about a pony town, with, no name for some odd reason, that appears to be practicing the Hippogriff's forsaken Cutie Mark Communisum, and spies have reported that this cult leader has been able to unearth a cutie mark containment device we once had hidden. (Though Maud kept her uninterested expression, she had a look of concern). You happened to be there when this village was being buildt. Have you by any chance had a hoof in this?"
 * Maud: "....... No. I didn't. This pony must've ended up discovering it by herself."
 * Admiral Claw-Hoof stared at her unconvinced.....
 * Admiral Claw-Hoof: "...... Currently, I can't neither discredit you nor believe you. Perhaps you just so happened to be there and don't really have anything to do with it, or perhaps...... But to prove that I am not a Hippogriff who is quick to make assumtions, I will keep you posted on investigation. But be warned. If there is any evidence that you are respondsable, you will have to answer to Hippogriff justice by order of the prince! Is that understood?"
 * Maud: "..... Yes sir."
 * Admiral Claw-Hoof: "..... You have a nice day now, Miss."
 * The Amdiral turned and left.
 * Maud, while still expressionless, looked worried.
 * Maud: "And maybe it was a good thing the Admiral never came back after me since then. I'm glad to have avoided a major bullet. Well, time for rest, Boulder. Good night."
 * Maud proceeded to get to sleep.
 * Unbeknowest to Maud, a Jewel-Encrusted Silverfish sees Maud.
 * Silverfish: ".... Oh dear. His Majusty may not respond well to this. (He scatters off.)"
 * Maud was seen enjoying Pinkie and Starlight's company once again.
 * Starlight: So, how has time here been treating you, Maud?
 * Maud: It's nice. Really nice. The walls are filled with stones that I have not come across yet, and have a trace of calcium carbonate, which is what makes up the shells of clams or shellfish. Also fossils of shellfish have been found. It's hinted as well that this cave used to be a flooded cave with water that is rich in minerals that are capable of supporting sea life, which suggests this used to be a home for shellfish of a strange origin.
 * Starlight:... Strange.
 * Maud: Yes.
 * Pinkie: Heh, have you ever considered dropping by Seaquestria? When I was there, I noticed some rocks that could be up your alley.
 * Maud: I have already heard of that cave, and already visited it.
 * Starlight:... Seriously?
 * (Maud): (She was seen in a diving suit as seaponies aided in her research) Like the nearby beaches, they are composed of basalt. The basalt columns are formed through cooling in masses after formation, especially in the polygonal joint pattern present there. They are also rich in gemstones like pyroxene, amphibole, plagioclase, and feldspar. The former two are common forms of currency for the Seaquestrians, the third is used as part of their architecture, and feldspar is used for ceramics and glass-making. Other gemstones like olivine and rare sightings of beryl are used in their currency, jewelry, or encrusted scenery. Others are just the result of unearthed treasuries.
 * Maud: I must thank the seaponies for aiding me as well. When I ran out of air, they gave me a seapony form, especially since Pinkie already had one.
 * Pinkie: Well, we didn't always have it, but yeah, at least you can do your work underwater now and not have to worry about drowning.
 * Starlight: Yeah. We all have forms that allow us to travel underwater, but since Tempest attacked... The Mane Six and Spike have lost them, and visiting the pure hippogriffs did not go well, and they're still waiting for Novo to make it up to them. Celestia said she's almost done with her summit, so until she talks to Novo... The seven will have to wait.... What I don't get is... The shellfish thing. This used to be a sea cave?
 * Maud: Well, this place also has signs of clay minerals, which expand in the presence of moisture. My best guess is that it dried out slightly a long time ago.
 * Pinkie:... I guess the rich minerals allowed this place to grow in vibrant life, too.
 * Maud: Exactly. This has signs of volcanic activity. Volcanic soil is among the most fertile on the planet. The presence of sunlight and the nutrient-rich water allows plants here to flourish.
 * Starlight: Well, I can see why this would be a good place to live. But... Aren't you concerned about this shellfish thing? What if there's a bigger creature still around?
 * Maud: I have checked even within the water. The only signs of shellfish left were average clams, crabs, hermit crabs, and barnacles.
 * Starlight: I dunno. Things can really surprise you like that.
 * Pinkie: Well, she can, too! Though I am still disappointed that she lead you to Shareville from the beginning, she has been starting to grow on you to know she can appreciate surprises. She IS my sister, so it kinda runs in the family. She just can't show it physically.
 * Maud:... I must remind you, that I have a bad reputation, and I am facing suspicion from an impure hippogriff named Admiral Claw-Hoof.
 * Pinkie: Wait... Celestia said he used to be part of the Pure Hippogriff Navy, then he got in a bad banter with some jerk who hated the impure variants and drove him off, and he has since become a foreign law enforcer.... And he is NOT a very merciful one.
 * Maud: That is why I suggest this incident with me and Starlight must be kept quiet. It would make me and Starlight look bad.
 * Pinkie: No kidding.
 * Starlight: "Wait, why is that Admiral after you?"
 * Pinkie/Maud: "Remember the Cutie Mark containment device and how it's a part of the Impure Hippogriff culture?"
 * Starlight: "..... Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Aw gees, Maud, I didn't know that much ahead of time. Now I feel like even bigger garbage then ever for ever doing that Cutie Mark Faux Communisum trash."
 * Maud: "It fine. You were mainly following the words of Fem Fatala. It was to be understood that she was a bad enfluence."
 * Starlight: "Well, either way, I felt respondsable for it. Now your basicly on the run from the Impure Hippogriffs for some reason. I didn't figure that they would care that much about the containment devices, I mean, if they knew about the town I was building, why didn't they get to Celestia?"
 * Pinkie: "..... Actselly, that IS very suspicious."
 * Maud: "Well I'm guessing he didn't stop what you were doing Starlight, was because you weren't exactly the Hippogriffs' jurisdiction. They may've been after me more because I was able to know about where the Containment Device was hidden. They have been after Beakbuck's cutie mark vaults for a long time since his cutie mark smuggling operation started. Perhaps they're more worried about me knowing about where the other containments would be placed."
 * Pinkie: "Fair point, but still, you'd think that the Admiral would've at least alarmed Equestria ahead of time of what Starlight was up to and not let us find out on our own by Season 5!"
 * Maud: "I theorize that he did want to do so, but the politics about the matter were too complicated to expose right away. They are responsible for Cutie Mark Communism and the containment device after all. The Hippogriff government likely wants the world to forget that the impure hippogriffs ever had anything to do with the philosify and it's creations."
 * Pinkie: "Also a fair point, but, I can't help but to feel that it's not just that. What if there's a Hippogriff official that is after you for a nefarious plot?"
 * Starlight: "I have to agree with Pinkie. I mean, sure, you lead to me finding it, but I'm still the one who was using the thing to trick ponies out of their cutie marks because I had such a blind hatred to them that I ended up loving a rogue Hippogriff's ideology! If anypony should've been suffering legal trauma, it should've been me!"
 * Maud: "Well they figured that if it wasn't for me, you probably wouldn't've even gotten that far."
 * Starlight: "(Sighs), That only makes it worse. I wish the Lougers were here to help."
 * Pinkie: "Well, that's gonna have to wait, because they had a long work week. Like, this one time where they got caught up fighting an AUU Dodo Bird and a trio of Dinosaur People trying to use a Death Star-like Machine and an army of scary robots to threaten the idea of De-Extinction because of complicated politics."
 * Starlight looked at Pinkie weirdly as Maud kept a still face.
 * Pinkie: "..... Forth Wall Powers. They're an automatic informer. And they're still recovering from the Throx mess, so, it may have to be addressed on a better day. And WE'RE recovering as well, and we're about to go camping once Twilight gets back from her zeppelin cruise with her family. Defeating the Storm King was a movie's worth of adventure that she still has nightmares about since the adventure almost turned her against her own friends."
 * Starlight: "..... Still, I wish there was something I can do to help."
 * Maud: "Thanks, but I'm already in a position that they can't find me either way. They would figure that Ponyville and the rock farm would be too predictable to look and would figure that I would be on the run. Eventually, the case would go cold and give up, and with you reformed, it wouldn't be like another containment device would be uncovered if I was left unchecked."
 * Starlight: "Well that's the thing. I heard this Admiral is die-hard persistent. He never let's ANY case he has go cold. He was once able to capture a murderor of a regel's pet, and that case hasn't been relivent since the 1970s!"
 * Maud: "Even the most persistent have to give up some time. Claw-Hoof is still organic matter. Even he has to get tired and focus his engery reshorce on something else."
 * Pinkie: "But just to be safe Maud. We'll be sure to be on the look-out for any uniformy looking Hippogriffs of the impure variety. It's better to be safe than sorry, as Grandpa Pie always said!"
 * Maud: "Fair enough, but Boulder and I are pretty safe regardless. Now let's not worry about it anymore. So how was your day?"
 * The trio went on, as two Jewel-Encrusted Silverfish were seen, one of them being the same one as before.
 * The Prior Silverfish: "...... What can we do, Duke Topaz? The King wouldn't respond well to her presence here?"
 * The new Silverfish (Duke Topaz): "...... Don't worry, Squire Ruby. The Mentally Deadpan Pony's no threat. She is more interested in rocks than, the stone."
 * The Prior Silverfish (Squire Ruby): "Well, yes, but.... This is the pony that discovered the legendary Rainbow Rock! That means she's a rock expert! She's bound to know that, the stone, existed!"
 * Duke Topaz: "But don't forget, she only discovered it to record and prove it's existence. Otherwise, she never went to misuse the stone herself. And it only gotten into a mess because of alien outsiders. The Jewelfish have nothing to worry from her."
 * Squire Ruby: "Well maybe not her, herself, but, she hiding here because someone's after her! That might mean that someone is after her knowledge to seek out the stone, and if that happens...... The King will not be happy."
 * Duke Topaz: "Look, Squire, you have nothing to worry about. This Pony has been able to avoid any serious trouble so far. Try not to worry so much."
 * Squire Ruby: "....... Very well, my duke. As you command."
 * Duke Topaz and Squire Ruby leave, but Ruby still looked on concerningly and worringly, worried that the current predicerment may not be forever.
 * Pinkie and Starlight walked in and were surprise to see the rest of the Main 6 here.
 * Starlight: Oh? Twi, you're back already?
 * Twilight: "Long story, prefer not to talk about it. But onto the chase... Pinkie, Starlight, you two may want to sit down."
 * A chair was levitated to the duo, as they sat down.
 * Twilight: "..... Now, Pinkie, we know Maud is your sister, and that your just as much about your family as Applejack, but..... Is it true, Pinkie?"
 * Pinkie: "(Looks around nerviously)...... Is, what true?"
 * Fluttershy: "Well, we were talking to Maud this one time, and, she ended up referencing that she knew Starlight prior to becoming her friend, but then she said that Boulder's asking her to not say more than that."
 * Rarity: "Initionally, we thought nothing of it. At least until, relatively recently when Twilight brought us together to talk about a message from Celestia."
 * Rainbow Dash: "Well, APPARENTLY, as Celestia wrote down, the impure hippogriff rulership informed her that Maud is suspected of helping Starlight find that Cutie Mark storage thing to begin with! So what, was Maud a secret agent traitor of Starlight? In fact, did we EVER see her cutie mark?!
 * Twilight: "RAINBOW?! Settle down! But as Rainbow asked, was Maud, a secret agent of Starlight?"
 * Starlight: "OF COURSE NOT! In fact..... She was digging rocks on where I was building the town, so, I went up and asked her and she non-chalently just told me."
 * Applejack: "... Ya mean this whole thing was just because Maud just told you while looking fer rocks and not questioned on what yer intentions were?"
 * Starlight: "WELL SHE DIDN'T EXACTLY KNEW WHAT I WAS DOING!!"
 * Rainbow Dash: "... Fair point, but the thing is, those hippogriffs are more than likely not happy about what occurred! Maud has automatic knowledge of the containments' hidey holes! Given that they likely still feel sucky about the Beakbuck mess, to them, that makes her an international flight risk!
 * Pinkie's mane deflated.
 * Pinkie:... I'm sorry girls. This..... This is exactly why I didn't tell any of you about it when Maud first came to Ponyville to find a place to live. Maud didn't know what Starlight was gonna do, and she's really sorry about it.
 * Twilight: "We know Pinkie, but running from this problem isn't gonna help. She's gonna end up looking like a criminal."
 * Pinkie: "But that's about it, Twilight! Something's off about the thing! The Admiral seems weirdly fixated on Maud more than Starlight, the pony who actually used the containment device!"
 * Rainbow Dash: "Well obviously Starlight wouldn't've even got that far if-"
 * Pinkie: "I know, I know, but, you'd think that this would've been Starlight's problem too, even if she wasn't in their jurisdiction!"
 * The concerned friends look at eachother.
 * Applejack: "..... You're trying to say that something stinks in the Alamo, Pinkie?"
 * Starlight: "Well, yes. She's worried that the Admiral could be a pawn to some conspiracy to go after Maud for her knowledge. I mean, she DID discovered the Rainbow Rock, didn't she? Who knows what other, legendary rocks she knows of?"
 * Fluttershy: "Well, when you put it like that....."
 * Pinkie: "That's why I want you all to Pinkie Promise me that you don't say anything about this to anyone! Not even to the princesses!"
 * Twilight: "YOUR ASKING ME TO WITHHELD INFOMATION?! FROM CELESTIA?! PINKIE, THAT'S TREASON!!"
 * Pinkie: "I'M NOT ASKING YOU BETRAY CELESTIA'S CROWN TWILIGHT, JUST, MAYBE NOT TELL HER UNTIL THE ADMIRAL GIVES UP!!"
 * Rarity: "..... Well, to be fair, Twilight. It's not like Maud meant any serious harm. And if Maud had known better, she would've made sure Starlight was set straight and narrow long before any of this could happen. Maud is obviously one who takes her stones seriously, espeically if they're of magical properties. I mean, I saw her make that McScam pony cower in fear without even getting actually angry."
 * Applejack: "I kinda have to agree. The Princesses don't need to know everything. It's only until the Hippogriffs desided to drop it."
 * Twilight looked very conflicted, then gave up.
 * Twilight: "... I dunno if Celestia already knows given her ability, and she can find out, but... You have my word as the Princess of Friendship that Maud's secret does not reach Canterlot."
 * Pinkie: "Pinkie Promise?"
 * Twilight:... Let's just go with a regular promise. I don't want this to go like something with that Royal Promise crap with Trixie, because you are extremely scary to cheese off. One time, when somepony broke a Pinkie Promise, I ended up fainting and peeing myself in fear. I don't need another embarrassment like that. So, regular promise!
 * Pinkie:... I guess that's fair.
 * Applejack: "Look, Pinks. Maud is going to be fine, and this will all blow over. Eventually this will be old news for the impure hippogriffs and they'll drop it."
 * Pinkie: We won't know for sure, so I'm STILL gonna stay with Maud for a while until I can be sure you're right.
 * Twilight: Well, I asked Novo to look into this, and she's requesting a meeting with the ruler of her race in Hippogriffinstone. She says the pure and impure hippogriffs share neighboring lands separated by a wall, because apparently, they have bad quarrels, and still do despite long signing a peace treaty. Let's hope Hippogiffinmainia's king is in a good mood. It's not to say that he's a bad ruler, it's more like, he's-"
 * Impure Hippogriff King: (In the presence of Novo and King Nephostratus, who appears as a hippogriff with a blue coat, peacock-pattern-like hair and tail which is more elegant than Novo's with red, white, blue, purple, and cyan tendrils and peacock feathers on the head and tail, dull-gold royal attire, gray-orange front feet, back hooves, and beak, patterned large wings with peacock spots, and patterned feathers on the legs, and a peacock-like neck mane) "Pompus? Big-headed? Crude Humored? Perverted at times? Too upset with the history of our people in that we founded a communisum based around BUTT TATTOOS?!"
 * Novo: "Now chill, King Fangbeak, and be reasonable!"
 * King Nephostratus: "Exactly! We are not suggesting such things in the slightest."
 * King Fangbeak: "But I bet your thinking it! I mean, be honest with yourself, you don't think very highly of me! You high and mighty pures never did!"
 * Novo: "We don't think impurely of you!"
 * King Nephostratus: And we never did so! Not at all! Since your kind decided to be a communist monarch society and built the Hippogriff Wall, and kept such standing even after that phase died and you went back to a monarchy because of our differences, we have had to keep public relations safe and sound!
 * King Fangbeak: "I know your being nice to me to spare my feelings! Let's be honest here! A lot of creatures think poorly of this Hippogriff strain, ALL BECAUSE THAT IDIOT INVENTER OF A BUTT TATTOO MARXISM, HAD TO GO AND MAKE THINGS LIKE CUTIE MARK VAULT CONTAINMENT DEVICES AFTER SAID PERIOD OF OUR LIVES!! I'm insecure about the fact we had anything to do with that to begin with, BUT THEN I FOUND OUT THAT A FLUNKED STUDENT OF CELESTIA CAME OUT OF NOWHERE AND FOUND THE CONTAINMENT DEVICE BECAUSE OF A ROCKTOLOGIST!! IT'S BAD ENOUGH THAT BECAUSE SHE WAS WITH CELESTIA, THAT MAKES HER OUT OF MY JURISDICTION, BUT NOW THIS ROCK EXPERT HAS SOMEHOW DISAPPEARED!! We're talking about someone, who has a mental illness, that makes her a mental dullard... AND YET SHE WAS ABLE TO STUMP THE BEST HIPPOGRIFF, AND EX-PURE HIPPOGRIFF NAVAL OFFICER, IN MY ARMADA!! Admiral Claw-Hoof is one of the best Hippogriffs I got! Of course, you would've known, if someone of your ranks hadn't shrugged him off of your Navy because of your kind's high and mightiness!"
 * King Nephostratus: "Look, I promise you that I saw to it that the biased member was punished for his disrespect."
 * King Fangbeak: "That's likely damage control at best! It's too late regardless! The Admiral has seen the truth! And he's gonna bring that rockhead to justice for bringing our ugly past back into the light!"
 * Novo: "Look, Fangbeak, that event is hardly even relevant anymore, and the geologist pony I'm sure didn't mean no serious harm. I knew her since she came divin' down here not too long after Storm King's death, and we gave her a seapony form after her suit ran outta air. She was just a harmless monotone pony that wished to study our sea cave's geology She likely didn't even understand what was going on."
 * King Fangbeak: "Maybe so, BUT IT'S ABOUT THE PRINCIPAL, DAMMT?! If she knew of ONE containment device, who knows how many she knows about just from looking at rocks?! We have enemies that would use these things against us!! Whether blackmail, or to even revive the Beakbuck regime! It's not meant to be ANYTHING against the ponies, but I just feel safer if that emotionless drone is locked up tight in the dungeon! Anything regarding Beakbuck is OUR RESPONSIBILITY, EVEN IF THINGS BEYOND OUR JURISDICTION!!"
 * Fangbeak's queen rolled her eyes and came to comfert King Fangbeak.
 * The Impure Hippogriff Queen: "... You need to pardon Fangbeak, he is always known for his panic attacks."
 * King Nephostratus: "But of course, Queen Talon-Claw. I must still ask you give this particular pony a break. Novo told me she's a sister of one of the Pure Hippogriffs' saviors."
 * King Fangbeak: "Well, even for some reason we actually WANT to call it off, it's not our call! The Admiral was placed onto the case by our son, who's away on unrelated matters! And even then, he knows how you stuffy pures work! He won't be so quick to bend a knee for ya!"
 * Queen Talon-Claw: "... He means that our son was the one who ordered the investigation, and that he's VERY insistent on having us deal with the geologist. Even before the highest of Pure Hippogriffs, he won't yield."
 * Novo: "I see."
 * Queen Talon-Claw: "But, I'll see if we can talk to him about it when he comes back. But I can't make any promises he'll listen. Our son is known for his.... Rebelious nature."
 * King Nephostratus: That would be greatly appreciated, thank you. We will be kept posted on the matter. (The two left).
 * Applejack: "Well if what you said is true, then it looks like we do have to be on our toes if all this was because of a rebelious prince with an insecure father and a knowing better queen who could be able to do only so much."
 * Rainbow Dash: "Just one thing though. Twi, earlier you referenced that the Admiral was an "Ex-Pure". Yet he's with the Impures. What is up with that?"
 * Twilight: "Well, the Admiral I read, had a complicated history."
 * (Twilight): "The Admiral is actselly the hybrid, of hybrids. Now, I know Impures and Pures are BOTH Hippogriffs, but, they're of different spieces. Pures take more after us ponies, while Impures take more after Griffins, or are often the result of recent interbreeding. The result of the Admiral's parents union, a male Impure and a female pure, resulted in an, interesting combination. He was both impure but yet pure. He had the frontal side of a normal griffin, but he backside of a pure Hippogriff. He was, an unconventional combination, since pures and impures prefer to keep a no-touch relationship in thanks to the, Beakbuck fiasco, among other political concerns. You see, the Admiral once leaned more torwords the pures because he felt like he belonged with them more, even when his parents warned that, the Pures may not universely think that. Unfortunately, the Admiral got his proof of that warning from a Pure Hippogriff with a rather.... Biased opinion on Impures. He was also a Pure Hippogriff genetics purist, so the fact the admiral was a hybrid of both cultures.... Helped little. Worse of, this purist was also a higher figure, so, for the Admiral's misfortune, the biased purest, Perfection Form, wasted on time to dishonorablely discharge the Admiral for something he has no honest control over. The Admiral in his youth, understandingly, didn't took well to this."
 * Claw-Hoof: "YOU BAISED BASTURD?! YOU WOULD KICK ME OUT FOR SOMETHING I DIDN'T PICKED MYSELF?! MY MOTHER IS A PURE HIPPOGRIFF?!"
 * Perfection: "Your father, however, is an IMPURE! I know the King was insistent we don't have any ill-wills torwords those impure cutie marxists, but that doesn't mean I would allow an imperfect hybrid amongst MY guard's ranks! Those impures have embarrised both our Griffin and Pony relitives with that Beakbuck mess! Impures have made Hippogriffs look bad?!"
 * Claw-Hoof: "OH, LIKE THE PURES ARE FREE OF SUCH FLAWS, CONSIDERING YOUR ORIGIN ON HOW YOU WERE ACTSELLY MORE FERUIOUS THEN DRAGONS?!"
 * Perfection smacks Claw-Hoof in the face and scracthed his face!
 * Perfection: "THAT, IS, BEHIND US?! I, want you, out of my presence at once, you ill-conchived spawn of a union that shouldn't exist?!"
 * Claw-Hoof lost it, roared and attacked Perfection as the two broke into a fight!
 * (Rainbow Dash): "CLAW-HOOF SNAPPED AND ATTACKED THAT PERFECTION DOUCHE?!"
 * (Twilight): "Yes!"
 * (Spike): I would've been surprised if he didn't after that.
 * (Twilight): "But don't worry, the fight was stopped before the Admiral would've made any fatal mistakes."
 * Guards were keeping Perfection and a raging Claw-Hoof away from eachother!
 * Claw-Hoof: "LET ME AT THIS BASTURD?! HE'S KICKING ME OUT FOR RACIAL REASONS?!"
 * Perfection: "DON'T LISTEN TO HIM!? HE'S MAD?! A RESULT OF GENETIC IMPERFECTION, UNQUESTIONABLY?! A PURE WOULD NEVER BEHIAVE LIKE THAT?!"
 * Claw-Hoof: DON'T YOU DARE GIVE THEM THAT CRAP!!! I WILL MAKE SURE EVERYONE IN OUR KINGDOM MAKE YOU PAY FOR THIS HATE CRIME!!
 * Perfection: (He laughs) Why should they listen to you? You're just cannon fodder to even our Navy. Who's gonna align themselves with you? Guards! Get him out of my sight!
 * Claw-Hoof: YOU BASTARD!! LET ME GO!!! DON'T YOU DARE TAKE ORDERS FROM THAT RACIST SON OF A CHICKEN!!! LET ME GO!!!
 * (Twilight): He was discharged that day. However, Perfection would not get away with it. Nephostratus called him out on it, and had him exiled to the Impure Hippogriff Kingdom for his crime. And BY CELESTIA, did he pay through the beak for it. From what I heard, the word of his crime spread like wildfire. He, was not treated well as a result. He has a pitiful life to this day.
 * (Rainbow Dash): Hmmph! Serves him right! The guy deserves it.
 * Twilight: Since then, the Admiral became the head of criminal investigations like this by rigging the election to where everyone supported him. He considers eliminating anything regarding the cutie mark communism and anything related to Beakbuck's era his responsibility and his alone. But the thing about this one is...
 * Starlight: Is that by going after Maud, he goes beyond his jurisdiction as he's going into pony jurisdiction?
 * Twilight: Exactly. Though he doesn't let any loopholes or legal boundaries stop him. If he finds Maud, then he won't let things beyond his power stop him. In fact, he's good friends with the true head of the case, Inspector Homer Game. He's a quarter-hybrid of impure and pure hippogriffs, mostly on the pure side, who has been responsible for keeping Claw-Hoof out of trouble since his unemployment, and still does despite some struggles. His 75% purity allowed him to blend in as a pure hippogriff and thus learn how to be a good inspector.
 * Pinkie: Wowzers!
 * Applejack: And where was HE? With a guy like him around, you'd think he would've found Maud by now.
 * Twilight: Apparently, he's got a lot of paperwork and other duties that comes with the work Claw-Hoof does. He even gave up the case since Claw-Hoof was better at it than him. All he does nowadays is moral support.
 * Fluttershy: Then what do we do?
 * Starlight: Should we bring it up to Homer himself?
 * Rainbow Dash: "What if it ends up taking too long? Maud might end up being captured and arrested by then!"
 * Rarity: "Sadly, I agree. It wouldn't do any real good. Burriocacy is not always a relieable thing. And even if we get Homer involved, if this Admiral really is so dedicated, I doubt he would cease even under Homer's demands if he's so determined to take down anything related to Beakbuck."
 * Spike: "Also, (Was seen using a calulator) The finical useage for the trip to Hippogriffinmainia is likely expendsive and with a very difficult currentcy conversion process to boot! That might further complicate things!"
 * Applejack: "Well with that in mind, I guess all we can do is just hope that Claw-Hoof will run out of steam himself and the case turns cold. He may be considered a persistent varment, but it's not like persistent can't die in him. I bet ya he'll eventually call it quits and silently ride off into the sunset with no fanfare. And besides, he likely doesn't have too much to work with anyway."
 * Twilight: "Then, I guess we're just gonna have to keep quiet about it until it blows over."
 * Starlight: "I don't know. A guy like the Admiral sounds like a very persistent person. What if he never gives up?"
 * Twilight: "..... Then I'll organise a plan B and build up a budget that could be helpful in allowing us a trip to Hippogriffinmainia to discuss things with Homer or any other Hippogriff superior above Claw-Hoof. We're also gonna need to put togather a lawyer for any ineditable court case."
 * Rarity: "Agreed. I'll even share some of my business profits for the cause. For now, let's, hope for the best."
 * The Group dispearsed, Pinkie still looking concerned.

Chapter 2: Maud Exposed
The Present Day, after Cheerimac All Over Again Maud's Underground Cavern Paradise Flashback... Present. Twilight's Castle The Ponyville Train Station. Twilight's Castle.
 * Pinkie Pie was working extendsively to prepare nice treats for her latest visit with Maud.
 * (Pinkie VO): "It's been a great while since that day. A lot of exciting things happened, including Death Coffin adopting Konder, Boris the Fact-check-tail scorpain coming to live with fluttershy, the vampire fruit bat sanctuary getting a new resident in Vampyr, or however you say that name of his, in light of miss Ironheart having to go away to be as close to Canterlot as possable, and, we never really heard from Claw-Hoof or the case ever again. I can assume that either Claw-Hoof has given up or his bosses were firm enough to focus on something more impourent. Either way, it felt like that the whole thing was old news and that things can be normal again. Hooo boy, was I wrong in the following moments."
 * Pinkie Pie hopped out with the goodies.
 * (Pinkie VO): "Because this day, things were about to get messy."
 * Pinkie came over to visit Maud.
 * Pinkie: "Gooooooood morning Maud! Sorry I was late! I got into a rather busy week! And not just Thanksgiving, but also a rather hectic day involving, oh you just have to seen it to believe it when I get to telling ya, and-"
 * Pinkie Pie made a shocked face!
 * It was seen that Maud, while still kept a disinterested face, was seen captured by Admiral Claw-Hoof, some Hippogriff enforcers, The Wonderbolts and the Royal Guard.
 * Pinkie Pie did her gasp!
 * Everyone turned to look a her!
 * Pinkie: "MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUD?!"
 * Admiral Claw-Hoof: "I take it your Miss Pinkimena Diane Pie, then?"
 * Pinkie: "Mr. Admiral Sir, wait! You can't arrest Maud, and-..... Hold up, how were you able to find her?!"
 * Admiral Claw-Hoof: "Well surely Princess Twilight had referenced that I never give up on any case, even when they extend beyond the date of her crime. Espeically not anything having to do, with Beakbuck. Not how it costed me my once rightful future!"
 * Pinkie: "I mean the specifics, because I'm pretty sure you shouldn't've known about this place."
 * Admiral Claw-Hoof: "Ahhh, you would think that, would you? Well you didn't count on me eventually having to consider the too obvious after other opitions were exhausted and for nought. Granted, I initionally assumed she would hide in that Ghastly Gorge place and thus I ended up fighting Quarry Eels for nothing. So, I instead started to go around and ask questions. I was going to see you out personally, but it turned out you were busy with some other matter at hand. I was gonna call it another dead end here and there, but then... I ran into the best aide in my case yet. A fellow student from the Rocktology Academy."
 * Stone Cut was seen pushing a good collection of stones, before running into The Admiral and some Hippogriffin Guards by mistake.
 * Admiral Claw-Hoof: "... That's an interesting pile of, rocks, you got there."
 * Stone Cut: "(Gulp)... Uhhhhh, thanks. I, found it in an underground cavern.... COMPLETELY by myself, mind you! And is in NO WAY having to do with the fact that Maud lives in it in trying to avoid you because of a long outdated accusation that isn't even relivent anymore...."
 * Admiral Claw-Hoof: "... Oh, but alchourse, good pony. Your word is completely creditable to me. (Leaves with the Hippogriffs as they proceed to get the Guard and the Wonderbolts to follow them)..."
 * Stone Cut: "... Wow, I can't believe he believed me. That wasn't even a well-constructed lie. Oh yeah! Maud protected!"
 * Maud: "... Stone Cut doesn't tend to think straight when under pressure."
 * Pinkie: "..... Ya know, if Icky was here, he would rant on how STUPID that was!"
 * Admiral Claw-Hoof: "Anyway, onto the matters at hand. Maud Pie, your under arrest for aiding and abiding a Cutie Mark Communist and exposing a hidden vault. The Royal Family doesn't appresiate those kind of actions, Maud Pie. You risk reminding Equestia and the world that Cutie Mark Communisum owes it's existence to the fallen regime of Beakbuck. That would risk ill wills torwords Impure Hippogriffs!"
 * Maud: "..... If it's any consolation, it was purely an accident. I didn't exactly know what Starlight wanted to do with the vault. I thought she was just curious."
 * Admiral Claw-Hoof: "Accsidental as it is, it doesn't change the fact that you know about the vaults' location, just from looking at rocks! That makes you a flight risk the royal family would much rather have contained!"
 * Pinkie: "Oh no! Please Mr. Admiral, my sister's not a flight risk!"
 * Admiral Claw-Hoof: "Depends, how many of the Beakbuck vaults do you know about?"
 * Maud: "Pretty much all of them in all known and unknown lands."
 * Admiral Claw-Hoof: "EXACTLY MY POINT!!"
 * Pinkie facehooved at Maud being too honest about the situation.
 * Pinkie: "REALLY MAUD?!"
 * Maud: "It wouldn't really help to lie. I may as well be honest."
 * Pinkie: "Mr. Admiral, why arrest Maud?! She wasn't the one who used the vault!! Also, aren't you not allowed to be in pony jurisdiction affairs? Even if it's all too known, nopony would want to aid you."
 * Spitfire: Why do you think we're here? We have been after Beakbuck's nightmare for a long time, so he proposed an alliance, to ensure history doesn't repeat itself. Even Shining Armor agreed to it.
 * Pinkie:... WHYYYYYY?!
 * Admiral Claw-Hoof: That information is classified, FYI! If I was a less respectful person, I would say that it's none of your business and probuly cuss along the way, but you look like you know what Classifived means, and I'm too digifived to dabble in such languise knowingly, (Quietly) Unless if it's in reference to an accursed Purist of a Pure Hippogriff, (Openly) And while in good posture.
 * Pinkie: Look, can you please just let her go? Even with so much as a very stern warning? She's nothing to this case. Why don't you just ask nicely for the information you need? In fact, why are you being this hard on a pony who wouldn't hurt a fly?
 * Claw-Hoof: Oh, don't get me wrong. I would've gone after the Cutie Mark Communist pony herself, but she is a long contained problem! Also, the vault itself and the control stick with it are rendered mostly useless with any chance of it being rebuilt possible only to gods or a god-eqsed creature!"
 * Pinkie: "Oh, that stick WAS with the vault? That would explain why it looks too well-crafted to be some random desert stick. (Shakes her head) BLBLBLBLBLBLBLBLBLBLBLBBL! Besides the point! Please don't take Maud away! She's my sister and a very good pony-
 * Admiral Claw-Hoof: Ma'am, I'm sorry, but it is not my call. I am following the instructions of Prince Mane-Feather. You're free to come to Hippogriffinmainia yourself to advocate for her, but I advise that you either get her a VERY good lawyer, or you may as well hope the King would be kind enough to give her a punishment that lets her live! (Pinkie Pie gets a shocked face)
 * Maud: "(While still Monotoned and disinterested, but sounding a bit tense) You mean I could potentially be executed?!"
 * Admiral Claw-Hoof: "Well, if the queen would allow the king to have his way. And if it helps, he is RARELY allowed to have his way, being that he's a bit ill-mannered. But regardless, a crime will be answered this day."
 * Pinkie pounce onto the Admiral and hugged him painfully!
 * Pinkie: "PLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE?! DON'T TAKE MAUD AWAY FROM ME?! IT WILL DESISTATE MY FAMILY IF THIS HAPPENS?!"
 * Admiral Claw-Hoof: "Ugh, I am sorry, miss, ugh, but the Prince will not have it any other way! I am only obeying his orders! You, you'll just have to take it up with him when you get to Hippogriffinmainia!"
 * Pinkie Pie started to cry as tears cartoonishly pour out!
 * Pinkie Pie ran off!
 * Pinkie: "TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLIGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHT?!"
 * Maud, while still keeping a disinterested face, shed a silent tear.
 * Admiral Claw-Hoof: "... WHAT WAS WITH THAT PONY?!"
 * Spitfire: "What do you think, birdbrain? She has a really great bond with her sister! Are you sure you can't just say to the prince that the case was a dud, for her?"
 * Admiral Claw-Hoof: LIE TO THE PRINCE?! ARE YOU A MAD MARE?! AND THEN WHAT?! PROVE THAT BASTURD PERFECTION RIGHT THAT IMPURES REALLY ARE LOWER THEN PURE HIPPOGRIFFS?! ARE YOU SUGGESTING TREASON AND CONSPIRACY?! Never! This pony is coming with us, and that's that! The least you can do is not insult my loyalty!
 * Spitfire: "Look, all due respect Admiral, I can get behind wanting to prove that jerk wrong, but.... At what cost?"
 * Admiral Claw-Hoof: "... (Sighs)... I have to insist that it's out of my hands either way. The Prince will not have it any other way. He is upset with me that it took as long as it did on finding Maud Pie."
 * Spitfire: "... Okay, fine. Just don't be too surprised to get an earful from Princess Twilight. When Maud's sister explains everything... Well, to put it lightly, you will not like to see her mad."
 * Admiral Claw-Hoof: "Surely whather tirade she would offer is nothing compaired to the Prince's spoiled temper-tandrums."
 * Spitfire: Shining Armor IS her brother, and he has been known to be rather resilient when it comes to temper-tantrum throwing members, even if they are royalty. He knows how to immobilize and pacify an opponent. But Twilight? Our missions in your lands helped us to compare, and quite frankly, Twilight's tempers would make Prince Mane-Feathers chicken, no racism intended. Twilight's a stressful pony, and is NOT to be trifled with. If she gets involved, you'd better not turn your back on her.
 * Claw-Hoof: (Sarcasticly) Oh, then I shall practice my courtesy!
 * Soarin: You'd better, sarcasum aside, because if you want pony jurisdiction on your side, we recommend you acknowledge why we gave you that privilege. If you do ANYTHING that is disrespectful to our kind or our ways, then your privilege will be revoked, the charges will be dropped, and you will have the misfortune of explaining your failure by lack of courtesy to the Prince, and pray that he takes it easy on you. Do we make ourselves clear?
 * Claw-Hoof: (Sighs as if he's bothered by this, looking as if he does not want to go through so much of this legel political mumbo jumbo). Transparently! But know that we consider courtesy has to be earned, and we find even royalty must earn it from us. Even the Prince doesn't give a flying feather about how stressful a princess is, let alone one of no royal blood and a lot of brain power and yet little understanding of morals to where she needs life lessons on a regular basis considering she was valedictorian of her class and thus would've already known such things. The Prince finds that unprofessional and a waste of potential. But that's his opinion. How you ponies pick your regel followers is none of my concern. I neither judge or approve. I am merely a neutrol 3rd party when it comes to the political affairs of other nations.
 * Spitfire: Don't try and lecture us about morals. You may be with the law, but even the law expects courtesy among other races despite being imperfect, because you are not perfect yourself. That griffin biology of yours is making you forget your pony side, and you clearly have a lot to learn yourself.
 * Claw-Hoof: At least I know how to be smart about things, and not be blind to no-brainers, like say, never judge a book by it's cover. But I assure you that, for the sake of finding these vaults and other creations of Beakbuck, I will be courteous to Maud and Princess Twilight, but you must understand that nonsense of any kind will not be tolerated. Now do your job and get Miss Maud out of here. (They did so)
 * Twilight: WHAT?! HOW DID THEY FIND HER?!
 * Pinkie:... (Sighs) It was Stone Cut. She didn't cover up Maud's location too well, and gave it to him! Not willingly persay, he just did it in a stupid way because he was scared.
 * Rainbow Dash: Are you crapping me?
 * Rarity: Oh for the love of Celestia!
 * Applejack: Really?
 * Twilight: (Sighs) Just perfect! Thanks to him being a dang yuts, we gotta get Maud out of this rocky mess!
 * Pinkie: But how?
 * Twilight:... (Sighs) Spike? Inform Princess Celestia that we need to get involved in this immediately. Starlight? Contact the Lodgers. Hopefully Crane's Harvey Wadder persona will provide legal support. Some of us will need to bring in a good jury. I'm sure Queen Novo, Skystar, Nephostratus and his daughter and royal head guard, Homer, and any other hippogriff peers will be there, but we'll also need the obvious like the Pie family, any of Pinkie's closest friends besides us, any close friends of Maud, etcetera etcetera! Oh, and bring in Stone Cut! We gotta talk. (They all began to do so)
 * Stone Cut was waiting for the train back home.
 * Stone Cut: "These are some of the finest rocks I uncovered, and, Ohhhh, I think one of them is an anichent Sauren Fozzel! Oh that is an easy A+++ in my book."
 * Pinkie popped out of the rock pile Stone Cut had as he screamed!
 * Pinkie Pie: "BUT YOU GET AN F-OMEGA-MINUS TIMES INFINITE FOR ME?! YOU RATTED OUT MAUD?!"
 * Stone Cut: "NO!? No! I told them that she was NOT in that cavern!"
 * Pinkie: "...... Did you SERIOUSLY think a talented detective of the Impure Hippogriffs would be stupid enough to fall for that!?"
 * Stone Cut: "Hey, I don't work well under pressure!? That's why I got into rocktaligy! It offers ZERO pressure!"
 * Pinkie: "Your coming with me back to Twilight's castle!"
 * Stone Cut: "What?! But I need to catch the 6-o-clock train! I need to show that I found some well refined rocks, even a would-be anichent sauren fozzel!"
 * Pinkie: "LISTEN UP, YA BAD HAIRCUTED WISEGUY?! MAUD HAS BEEN DRAGGED IN BY THAT ADMIRAL TO BE MADE TO ANSWER ABOUT HER KNOWLEDGE OF VAULTS THAT WERE CREATED BY BEAKBUCK DURING HIS CUTIE MARK COMMUNIST REIGN?!"
 * Stone Cut: "..... Ya know, I swear, Maud always seems to get caught up with magical stones, like, the Rainbow Rock, her family had processed the stone egg of Devourus, and now this mess, and over something you and your inner circle already settled? I'm surprised it's not Starlight who's caught in the middle of it, I mean, she was the one who used that damn thing!"
 * Pinkie: "IRRELIVENT?! YOU GOT MAUD CAUGHT BECAUSE YOU WERE GUTLESS IN THE FACE OF THE ADMIRAL?! NOW YOU NEED TO HELP MAUD OUT?! YOU OWE HER FOR THIS AND DOUBTING THE EXISTENCE OF THE RAINBOW ROCK?!"
 * Stone Cut: "Aw gees, do I have to? What's the worse that can happen to her?"
 * Pinkie: "LIFE IMPRISONMENT FOR MAUD, OR EVEN DEATH IF HE HIPPOGRIFF KING IN HIS PARANOID DELUSIONS HAS HIS WAY?!"
 * Stone Cut was surprised in blank-face by that......
 * Stone Cut: "..... Oy..... Well, it's not like you would let me have any real choice in the matter anyway, so.... Okay, fine, let's get this over with. But you guys owe me a ride back to the rocktaligy accadamy after all's said and done. Besides, apart from the obvious, what exactly do ya need me for?"
 * Pinkie: ".... That's for Twilight to tell us! (Grabs Stone Cut and slides right into the rocks to the conductor's and others surprise)....."
 * Conductor: "...... That Pinkie Pie is REALLY hard to get used to."
 * The gang meet once again.
 * Starlight: "Okay, the Lougers are already on their way!"
 * Pinkie appeared upside down and holding a confused Stone Cut!
 * Pinkie: "AND I FOUND STONE CUT?!"
 * Stone Cut: "WHAT THE, HOW DID YOU DO THAT?!"
 * Applejack: "It's best not to ask."
 * Both Pinkie and Stone Cut came crashing down!
 * Stone Cut: "DOOOOOOOOOOOOOW?! Ow!"
 * Twilight: "(Levitates Stone Cut up). Nice to have you here, Stone Cut."
 * Stone Cut: "Well it's not like I have a real choice in the matter anyway, so, okay, out of with it, what else did you want from me apart from the obvious?"
 * Twilight: "You have known about Maud's studies about legendary stones, correct?"
 * Stone Cut: "Well pre-Rainbow Rock discovery, I was pretty much the skeptic. I mean, we MAY live in a world of magical creatures and living myths, but, come on, I like to believe that some legends are more implausable then others, even in Equestia, magical as it is. She made ALOT of reports and studies about famous and legendary rocks, the Rainbow Rock being the most famous because she proved that shit legit."
 * Twilight: "First of all, take it easy on the cussing, your in front of a princess, be formal."
 * Stone Cut: "Well pardon me for being abit moody that I have to miss my train back to the accadamy because of an accsident!"
 * Twilight: "Secondly, we have a throey that Maud may be sought after by Prince Mane-Feather because of one such legendary stones that may also be real."
 * Stone Cut: "Well, I'd scoffed at that and say the dude's wasting his time, if it wasn't anyone other then Prince Mane-Feather. I heard about the prince of the Impure Hippogriffs before. He is so hungry for money, he makes dragons and griffins combined look like charity cases! Heck, think of the most greedy pony of any time, and he/she would look generious comepaired to this asswipe of a Hippogriff! He even swims in melted lidquid gold in a private swimming pool! He even once had a smelting accsident on his, private parts, and he kept it because he just loves riches to much, even if his ability to have kids on the line! With him involved, it could be any legendary stone and/or buried artifact concerning money or wealth! The Midas Hoof! The Golden Skeliton of The Wealthasaurus Rex! The first gold nugget of the 19th centaury dragon-gold rush! Alicorns forbid if he's after the lost Alicorn Crown of Supremicy! In the hands of a spoiled-mannered temper-tandrum throwing greedy skud-bucket of a Hippogriff, not even Celestia's PARENTS would be able to stop that! That Crown, was created to have full superiority on any and all Alicorns!"
 * Familier Voice: "I'm pretty sure all of those things are safely locked up within the walls of the long lost golden city of Alicornia, dear boy."
 * Starswirl was seen.
 * Stone Cut: "...... Huh. I didn't know your Starswirl-loving cosplaying Grandfather was here today, Princess Twilight."
 * Rainbow Dash: "Oh Twilight WISHES they were related. THAT is Starswirl."
 * Stone Cut: "WAIT WHAT?!....... Well crud, I guess Maud was right about Ponehenge, frankly."
 * Twilight: WAIT, SHE KNEW ABOUT PONEHENGE, TOO?!
 * Stone Cut: She's a rocktaligest, and you're seriously asking that question?
 * Starlight: You'd think she'd already bring up what she discovered and Starswirl would've already been freed by now.
 * Starswirl: Perhaps she knew why we were there to begin with. She sounded like the subtle type.
 * Starlight:... Eh, fair point.
 * Starswirl: "(Sighs) Back at the subject, normally I wouldn't be thrilled to have my identity mistaken for another, but, for the sake of a serious matter at hand, I'm willing to ignore another instence of someone mistaking me as Princess Twilight's grandparent."
 * Stone Cut: "(Quietly) Dodged a bullet there. (Openly) There is also the Great Bit, the first ever bit in history. So far back, it looks more like the first wheel than anything."
 * Twilight: "That's in the Baltimare Museum."
 * Stone Cut: "The Golden Fang of Goldfang the Greed-Consumed Dragon?"
 * Twilight: "Las Pegicus Display in the Golden Pony Casino."
 * Stone: "..... The Money Stone?"
 * Starswirl/Twilight: "ALSO in Alicornia."
 * Stone Cut: "Well crud, then all's that left of stone-underground-uncovered related stuff is the Stone of Geo, but it disappeared along with King Geo and the Griffin Kingdom of Wealth."
 * ???: "The Stone of Geo?"
 * Rockhoof was seen.....
 * Rockhoof: "...... This Maud pony knows of the Stone of Geo, and this unenlightened hybrid knows of it?"
 * Stone Cut: "...... I, assume, because what else would that greedy f*** want her for other then because of the vaults?"
 * Rockhoof: "...... Starswirl, we need to get to that Impure Hippogriff Kingdom now, or else that reckless spoiled prince will doom himself and his people!?"
 * Applejack: "Rockhoof, ya'll sound very concern!"
 * Rockhoof: "And trust me, when the Stone of Geo is involved, you SHOULD BE! I'll explain when I can! We have to get going!"
 * Fluttershy: "But the Lodgers!"
 * Rockhoof: "Keep in touch with them and keep them informed of our location! The situation's too dire for waiting!" (Charges off)
 * Stone Cut: "...... Okay, I, take it that was Rockhoof, and it's safe to say the other legendary pillers are real too? And also, what was eating him?"
 * Starswirl: "Let's just say..... He had a more, personal exspeariening involving the Stone of Geo. Now, we must set off. Rockhoof is rarely a patient pony when his mind is on a great concern." (The group proceed to walk on out)

Chapter 3: Prince Mane-Feather/The Stone of Geo
The Impure Hippogriff Lands, Hippogriffinmainia The Prince's Chambers. Several Dress-up Montages later. (This plays as a Theme-Song Servent showed up and created a dance and song number surrounding Prince Mane-Feather as he showed up dancing.) A Train Flashback Present.
 * A Hippogriffian orianted train was seen heading down the tracks to an isolated city, and reveiling a Moscow sytiled city as this music began to play as various moments of the Impure Hippogriffians enjoying their lives are seen, from serving exoctic cuzine, having a dancing circle, even a puppet show retaleing the tale of the nation's rescue from Beakbuck, cowinidently by the neglected statue of Beakbuck himself kept as a reminder of the fallen reign, even with a statue recreation of Beakbuck's impaled body onto the weapon it carried.
 * The Train station was seen as a female Pure Hippogriff was seen waiting anxiously as a male Impure was rolling his eyes.
 * Pure Hippogriff: "I hope our son's coming back, he's been gone for awhile now."
 * Impure Hippogriff: "(Heavy Russin Accent) Honey, my lovely little babriska, you worry too much. He takes after his father. I.E., yours truely. Claw-Hoof is all about work, you know this ever since that Perfection fool had him removed from guard."
 * Pure Hippogriff: "I know, Vladaclaw, but...... I'm worried. What if he never comes back? This Vault Exposer has been, elusive so far."
 * Vladaclaw: "Oh, now come here my lovely Rusha. (Wing hugs her, dispite her taller stature). Your son, he is persistent. He has determined instinct. He never gives up on anything. Hence why Hippogriffinmainia has exspeared decrese crime rate. He hunts down criminals like lion to gazelle. He's a determined predator."
 * Pure Hippogriff (Rusha): (Laughs) I guess you're right!
 * Vladaclaw: Konechno, ya prav! (Russian: Of course I'm right!) Trust me, we don't need to give him anymore crap after that incident with Perfection! Good to know he's rotting in a living tartar after that! He sure deserves it.
 * Rusha: Now, hon, let's not be that rude. He may have been wrong, but that's been a problem since we split the Hippogriff lands. Hippogriffs here have done far worse, you know.
 * Vladaclaw: Da, but both King Nephostratus and King Fangbeak expect better coordinated participation than firing somehippogriff for being different. That's why we had a hard time when we fell in love, and we expected our kingdoms to learn from that. But one didn't and he paid the price for it.
 * Rusha: Not everyhippogriff changes after a Romeo and Juliet scenario, hon. We hate each other for our different preferences in government. The wall was built for that reason. Let's just welcome Claw-Hoof back with open arms once he gets here.
 * ???: Well, let's hope he impresses me with his report. (A Hippogriff that was 75% pony appeared, having griffin feathers on certain parts of his body, having an apricot coat, light flesh feet and beak, a blue swirling feathery mane and tail similar to that of this tail, a magical monocle, and cyan eyes, and curiously the same cutie mark as Turnabout Storm Sonata, but the eye color matches his own)...
 * Rusha: Oh, uh, Inspector Homer Game! I didn't think you'd show.
 * Homer: He IS the one who aided in ensuring Beakbuck is but a distant memory by seeking out his creations. The fact that he captured someone who knows ALL of them if my report is correct, is intriguing. Years of investigation, and it all comes down to this. He does our countries proud.
 * Vladaclaw: "Though I must admit curious question. I thought we originally wanted the vaults to be lost."
 * Homer: "Oh, the kingdom offictals did. But in light of the re-discovery thanks to, the town now known as Shareville, we desided that it would be better to NOT randomly leave the vaults in certain parts of equestia and beyond and instead place them inside the deep corners of the castle's dunguins to where not even royalty is allowed in for safety reasons."
 * Vladaclaw: "About about the broken Shareville one?"
 * Homer: "Since it's currently broken, we're leaving that one be until it is proven that it's repair it's possable, then that will be included as well."
 * Rusha: "Goodness, must the king here be so extreme?"
 * Homer: "Well, King Fangbeak is infamous for being..... Overly cautious, to put it politely. He honestly felt that the insodent with Beakbuck was far damaging to the Impures reputation as a race even more then it realisticly was, even when Beakbuck is hardly a relitive subject matter these days, apart from an already no longer relivent fiasco. Why, that situation is so infamous in his eyes, it was why the two Hippogriff races had to separate themselves by levels of purity since those times, ignoring that the surnames have been a part of our culture since the dawn of time, it's just that the surnames became much more, needed, in thanks to Beakbuck's fiasco, so the Pures don't get dragged into the mess we Impures had gotten into. And in the king's ever worrying mind, it's why he thinks the Pure Hippogriffs thing poorly of our culture."
 * Vladaclaw: "And Perfection did not help in that reguard."
 * Homer: Exactly. He may be the lowest of the low since his hate crime against your son, but hateful Pures are the least of the king's problems.With so many problems out and about in the world, and if any of them came to know about something about the Vaults, they would easily be used to cause trouble, and our kind gets blamed for it. Fangbeak doesn't want a preventable situation not prevented. So he would do anything to prevent it, even be an inconvinence to the most innosent pony if they even have so much as knowledge to a mineute detail about the vaults, let alone Miss Maud Pie.
 * Rusha: Well, I'm just worried that Princess Twilight wouldn't take well to this reguardless.
 * Homer: Indeed. The things she's done make her somepony that would be a big mistake to underestimate.
 * Vladaclaw: Well, they will be here and the king will surely learn to give her the appropriate courtesy.
 * Homer: And he'd best. He certainly won't like her when she's provoked or denied. From what I heard, she almost stole Queen Novo's magic pearl because Novo was being careless and showed no courtesy to her in her time of need. We do NOT need another international incident like that.
 * Rusha: No kidding. If we must have the ponies involved, we MUST show courtesy.
 * Vladaclaw: (The train was seen arriving) Well, it's about time to start, because here they come.
 * Claw-Hoof: (He arrived with the pony authority and Maud) Ahh, so good to be back home!
 * Vladaclaw: Privetstviye, son!
 * Claw-Hoof: Hello, father!
 * Homer: I can tell you've been quite busy given how long you've been gone. I take it the one pony not in uniform is the culprit?
 * Claw-Hoof: Yes! This rocktologist knows all the locations of Beakbuck's toys. Right, gray gal?
 * Maud: Well, do not expect me to tell you anything without a lawyer. And by lawyer, I mean Pinkie, her friends, my friends, my family, my peers, and Boulder. (She brings Boulder out) Speaking of which, it's feeding time. Is there anything he'd like?
 * Homer:... You DO know that's a rock, right?
 * Claw-Hoof: Homer, that's how she rolls, so it's best to roll along with it.
 * Maud:... Boulder seemed to like that joke.
 * Claw-Hoof: That, wasn't meant to be a joke, but, your welcome reguardless. That being such, such a thing is too basic of a joke. I mean, if not the most basic of jokes.
 * Maud: YOU'RE the most basic of jokes.
 * Homer: (He had this reaction)
 * Claw-Hoof:... Mister Game, that seems unprofessional.
 * Homer: Oh, just have a little fun now and then, why don't you? Not everything has to be on the job, you know.
 * Claw-Hoof: Whatever! The job still needs to be done! Let's go! The Prince is waiting! And he can be occupied with his Idle Games for so long.
 * Maud: "Boulder wants to see the place a bit. This is his first time seeing Hippogriffinmainia. You at least owe me that much for an arrest for an entirely no longer relevant situation."
 * Claw-Hoof: "First off, you earlier ago just sassed me and made Homer act unprofessionally, so no! Second, the Prince demands an immediate audience with you!"
 * Homer: "Oh come now, Claw-Hoof, I'm sure the Prince wouldn't really mind TOO much that you give miss Maud some sight-seeing. His young impatience could stand to learn the understanding of delays."
 * Claw-Hoof: "The Prince does NOT like to wait! And he will have BOTH of our jobs if he is made to wait more even AFTER Miss Maud is contained!"
 * Homer: "Oh, if you insist, then at least give Miss Maud a scenic route to the castle as opposed to getting her to the palace right away."
 * Claw-Hoof: "You do realise that she's an exposer of one of the vaults of Beakbuck right? That makes her a criminal?!"
 * Homer: "Now Claw, you and I both know that it is at best an accident. It has been said that Miss Maud didn't exactly understood Miss Starlight's intentions until the events transpired. Maud is obviously far from a willful participant in that fiasco. She didn't even stay around the area."
 * Claw-Hoof: "Then explain why she ran and not admit her guilt?"
 * Maud: "Your king is not known to take these sort've things lightly. He's been known to ruin the livelihoods of those who speicalized in any field of work, let alone mine, for even only having amateur knowledge of the vaults."
 * Homer: "Well there you go! She was running because she was afraid of having her life ruined by our "gloriously" paranoid monarch! Even with the Queen around preventing him from doing the worse, he doesn't exactly tend to treat those with any level of knowledge about the vaults with "Kid Gloves" as it were. They tend to lose their careers for even just having a mineute conversation about the matter."
 * Claw-Hoof: "Her livelihood is not in THAT much in danger. The Roctaligist academy is fairly lenient on what their students do with their learnings from after they graduate, so it's not like they lose their diplomats on it."
 * Maud: "He has however black-listed them from ever attending the work and practice however. He can ruin my livelihood over an honest mistake, and my family will financially suffer for being associated with me, and not just my rock farm, but Pinkie. And if you ruin a hero of Equestria, you're asking for a scolding from the Princess of Friendship. She'd no doubt do worse than anything the king could ever do as punishment."
 * Homer: "EXACTLY! Ya see, Claw-Hoof? What sensible creature wouldn't worry about an extreme punishment like that on their person and NOT think to lay low? That's what you're clearly missing: compromise. We MUST satisfy both ponies and ourselves and recognize that even the smallest act can have serious consequences. That's what the queue has, and it's what only the queen has."
 * Claw-Hoof: "Not, helping, sir. (Sighs, to Maud) Look, you're not even seeing the king yet anyway, the trail isn't for a while anyway. The Prince is the one who wants to see you FIRST, and FOREMOST!"
 * Maud: "... You do realise he could potainitionally only wanted me captured because he wants to know about the greatest stone secrets related to wealth? Like the legendarly lost Stone of Geo?"
 * Claw-Hoof: UGH! THE NERVE TO ACCUSE OUR PRINCE OF SUCH A CRIME?! You're on the path of being accused of treason right there, young lady!
 * Maud: Then consider this. Not only is his greed well-known, but his tower is literally made out of gold. (She pointed out the golden tower belonging to the prince)
 * Claw-Hoof: "..... Look, the prince may have an extremely bad love for wealth, there's no sugarcoating that, but he would NEVER snoop so low to use the law in such a manner and only cause all this international ilk just to get knowledge about some wealth based rocks. The king and queen raised him better than that. That's why they cut off his access to their wealth since he spent it carelessly. As you can clearly see, he's grown up."
 * Vladaclaw: "..... Uhhh, son, I respect your loyalty to crown, but, what you just said, is concerning."
 * Rusha: "Well, yes, I mean, I don't wanna sound despestful to royalty, but, what if he really did only had miss Maud made wanted just to exploit her knowledge? Ya cannot deny, the Prince has had..... His ill-tendencies."
 * Homer: I agree. From what I remember, he did not act so respectful when he was cut of his family's wealth. All he paid for with it was selfish, as all he cared about was himself, and when it got the better of him when it was taken away, he didn't take it well. I still question where he even got all that wealth since he renounced himself as the heir after being cut off. Thank goodness for his 17 brothers and 16 sisters, cause one of them is now free to take over as a new heir, otherwise had the prince been an only child, that renouncement would've been a grave inconvinence to this kingdom.
 * Claw-Hoof: "..... Ok, to say that the Prince IS doing that, and trust, I'm confident he is not, then I'll assure you, I'll be there to keep Maud safe from whatever ludicrous plan he would have. But I am positive the prince would have FAR more honor than that, despite his ego."
 * Claw-Hoof: "HEY, WHO SAID THAT?!"
 * ???: "AHEM?!"
 * Two regel Impure Hippogriffs, a large bulky one and a skinny one arrived.
 * Skinny Hippogriff regel: "Admiral, the Prince has asked us to inform to, in his words, "Hurry, the f***, up"."
 * Bulky Hippogriff regel: "Oh yes, indeed, he is most unhappy with the delay."
 * Claw-Hoof: "Oh, of course, royal Advisers Suckup and Kissup, just, spending some time with the folks and Inspector Homer."
 * Skinny Hippogriff (Kissup): "Well sorry to cut this reunion short, but the Prince is getting rather impatient."
 * Large Hippogriff (Suckup): "Indeed. Even the Idle Games aren't keeping him calm anymore. He requests your quick arrival."
 * Claw-Hoof: "Alchourse, it's just, the prisoner requested a quick tour, and-"
 * Kissup: "I don't recall the prince permitting you giving wanted criminals a tour of our beloved city, do you, Suckup?"
 * Suckup: "No, I don't believe he did, if memory serves me well, lest I am suffering from early dementia and senileisum."
 * Kissup: "Well I know I'm not, because the prince specifically asked to see Maud in his chambers, "A.S.A.P." as it were. Now, we suggest that you make haste."
 * Spitfire: "Now hold up, what gives you two clowns the right to-"
 * Kissup: "Wonderbolts and the Celestia's royal guard, you have already did your part in containing Maud Pie. We hereby request you to be on your way. (Gives Spitfire a gift baskit) The Prince's personal regaurds."
 * Spitfire: "ARE YOU TELLING US TO SCRAM, YOU-"
 * Soaren: "We can't really do anything beyond this point anyway. We may as well go. Twilight and friends will take care of this anyway."
 * Pony Guard 1: "Ohhh, exotic Hippogriff wine? (Takes it) Sweet! I can totally use this to impress my girfriend!"
 * Pont Guard 2: "(Eats some exotic Hippogriff chocolates) OHHHH, YOU IMPURE HIPPOGRIFFS HAVE MANAGED TO MAKE A PURE CHOCOLATE SENSISATION!? MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!"
 * Fleetfoot: "....... And this is why Firebrand is so annoyed at both the Wonderbolts and the Guard."
 * Suckup: "We bid you all, good day. (The duo left)."
 * Homer: "Oh well, so much for the tour, I guess."
 * Maud: "..... Boulder said he doesn't like them. At all.
 * Claw-Hoof:... Well at least you waited until after they were not within earshot to say that.
 * Maud: And my point is further made. The prince clearly shows no courtesy, and has denied showing it.
 * Spitfire: Yes. So, Claw-Hoof, I know you haven't forgotten what we discussed about courtesy. I suggest you tell the prince to either show it, or your pony jurisdiction is revoked and the charges are dropped. We expect it by the time Celestia and Twilight show up. Do we make ourselves clear?
 * Claw-Hoof: If it means we get the information to shut down Beakbuck's toys for good, then very well. But don't expect any miracles. The prince likely wants this to be a private meeting. Again, he mainly wants to see Maud for himself, it's not the trail.
 * Soarin: Well, like I said, not much we can do either way. Just see what you can do. Good day. (The group leaves, leaving only the Admiral and the misfited Hippogriff enforcers).
 * Claw-Hoof: "... Now that that's outta the way, I must ask you at least behave around the Prince and tolerate his behavior. If he gets upset, then the King will get upset, and that wouldn't go favorly in your trial, understood?"
 * Maud: "..... Like I really have a choice in the matter. Besides, I'm not that worried, because of the warning of courtesy and what it means for the PR of our kingdoms. If he does something irksome, we ponies will not be happy."
 * Claw-Hoof: As an enforcer of the law, I take things in stride, but when it comes to Prince Mane-Feathers, he has little courtesy. But again, he could want to meet you himself in a private meeting. It's not nessersarly the same as the trial.
 * Clawhoof proceeded to take Maud with in by cuffs as the misfited enforcers followed.
 * An Impure Hippogriff Prince was seen playing on a golden iPphone and playing an Idle game, looking peeved.
 * Kissup and Suckup came in.
 * Kissup: "Prince Mane-Feather, Claw-Hoof is taking Maud Pie to right as scheduled."
 * Suckup: "He'll arrived as soon as-"
 * Prince Mane-Feather: "SHUT YOUR MOUTH, I'M ALMOST AT A ZILLION ON BUSINESS SIMULATOR?! THEN I'LL GIVE MY BUSINESSES ALOT OF UPGRADES TO GET MORE MONEY?!"
 * Kissup: "... Give him a moment."
 * Prince Mane-Feather was still playing, then stopped when it finally hit him!
 * Prince Mane-Feather: "THE ADMIRAL'S BRINGING THE ROCK PONY HERE?! WELL WHY DIDN'T YA BLOODLY SAID SO, SUCKUP AND KISSUP, YOU BLOODY TWATS?!"
 * Kissup and Suckup sighed respectively.
 * Prince Mane-Feather: "Suck, Kiss, get me my NICER robes!! I wanna look SMEXY for the pony?!"
 * Kissup/Suckup: "We're advisers sir, not royal dressers."
 * Prince Mane-Feather: "THEN GET THE DRESSERS HERE NOW THEN IF YA DON'T WANNA DO IT, YOU BLOODLY INGRATES?!"
 * Kissup/Suckup: "(Sighs), Yes sir. (The duo left)."
 * Prince Mane-Feather: "......... Finally.... My dreams are coming true!... (Laughs wickedly)."
 * Maud was finally brought in by the Admiral and the misfit enforcers.
 * Theme-Song-Guy-Like Impure Hippogriff Announcer: "LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, BOYS AND GIRLS, ADMIRAL AND VAULT EXPOSER, PUT YOUR HANDS, HOOVES, OR WHATEVER, TOGETHER..."
 * Claw-Hoof: "Oh not this again."
 * Maud: "What not again?"
 * Announcer: "(Music starts to play) FOR THE ONE, THE ONLY, THE MAGNIFISENT, THE BEAUTIFUL, THE SMEXY PRINCE OF THE IMPURE HIPPOGRIFFS, THE SON OF FANGBEAK AND TALON-CLAW, THE LOVER OF WEALTH, THE ABSOLUTE ATHORITY OVER HIPPOGRIFFINMAINIA'S LAW AND ORDER, THE TAMER OF VIRGINS, THE COLLECTER OF FAT STACKS OF CASH, AND THE ONE GUY WHO'S OPINION MATTERS ABOVE ALL ELSE, THE ONE, THE ONLY PRINCE MANE-FEATHER?!"
 * Prince Mane-Feathers: HAH! BOOM, BABY!!
 * Maud: "..... I felt like this was already done somewhere else and with more genuiness, but I can't place my hoof on it."
 * Prince Mane-Feathers: Oy, none of that meta talk, I don't fancy that! Anyway, are you the proctologist that exposed Beakbuck's Magic Butt Tattoo, thingie?
 * Maud: It's 'rocktologist', it was called the Cutie Mark Vault, and yes.
 * Prince Mane-Feathers: (He laughs) And I thought you ponies had weird vocabulary before! GRAMMAR, WHAT'S THAT?! Here's a free non-Equestian phrase for it! It's geologist. What, did ya wanted to bloody simplify the study and went with rock? Tch, no bloody wonder aliens take one look of our world with curious eyes and be all "These cultures confuse me"!
 * Maud:... You definitely have no courtesy.
 * Prince Mane-Feathers: Well this ain't the bloody trial, now is it? I'm just meeting you for meself!
 * Maud: Besides, what have you got to this case? In fact, why didn't the king authorize this? Or better yet, why not the queen?
 * Prince Mane-Feathers: I'm the designated prince who handles all the law stuff while Mumzy and Daddy dearist worry about the boring political crap! That being said, I don't recall asking you to speak without permission. As far as any of us would care to say, you're a criminal who needs to be punished.
 * Maud: You know very well that I am not a criminal. All I did was give information you need to somepony that had ulterior motives for such, which by the by, that could've been asked for instead of just treating me like a criminal for it.
 * Prince Mane-Feathers: Well you didn't exactly turn yourself in after you gave a rising pony-Cutie Mark Communist bloody accreate advice on finding that vault, now did ya? Minor as it is, you're guilty of being that c**t's bedrock to even getting that far! I am just doing my job, lady. It's cruddy enough as it bloody is that people have issue with the fact I left being the heir to the throne, never mind that there's already plenty of me bros and sises to take over! And it's bad enough outsider communities don't tend to have their fancies tickled by us thanks to the era those vaults were invented in! Can you imagine what a mess it would be if you just go around and 'accidentally' expose more of those bloody vaults to more Starlight Glimmers and who knows what bloody else? Sorry cutsy, but like daddy, I rather not chance it, love.
 * Maud: Well, I am telling you that you need to show courtesy. By doing this, you're risking an international incident and making a bad reputation between your kind to mine. That would not play well for you. I want to make sure you understand the consequences of your actions here, and that you still require pony jurisdiction, and that it's a privilege, not a right. Commander Spitfire says that if you don't offer courtesy, then they will take away that privilege and the case will be dismissed.
 * Prince Mane-Feathers: Well that's about it, isn't it? They were only needed to help bring you here. And again, this AIN'T the trial, I'm meeting you meself. And besides, even then, why should you be treated like you're the bloody queen of the universe? You're at best a mentally broken geologist trapped in a monotone voice with a pebble for a pet that came from a bloody Amish rock farm! How's THAT, worthy of anyone's respect? Their pity, maybe, but respect?
 * Claw-Hoof: I know it is, an unusual request considering her background, but it's true, your excellency. They expect courtesy to be given when they arrive. If we wish to have this play well, we must heed their demands. We need this jurisdiction, or we are not allowed to get involved. And we MUST wash away the bad reputation that Beakbuck left on both our races. After that incident with Twilight and Queen Novo last month, we don't need another international incident like that.
 * Prince Mane-Feathers: "Ya know, I'm pretty sure THAT fiasco only happened between the Pures and the Ponies. Novo was the one turning into a bloody chicken of the sea about that oversized snow monkey Storm King!"
 * Maud/Claw-Hoof: "He was actselly a Satyr."
 * Prince Mane-Feathers: "Don't care, he looks too anatomically inaccurate to be a goatman. Point being, it doesn't nessersarly concern the Impures."
 * Claw-Hoof: "Yes, a..... Fair argument, but we are still the same by technicality. They're just closer to ponies than us, as we're either of recent interbreeding or we're closer to griffins. We do share the same land after all. Either way, we are standing in the midst of our OWN international incident! One that would potentially make it difficult to recollect the vaults."
 * Prince Mane-Feathers fools around with a glass of orange soda.
 * Prince Mane-Feathers:... Well, when ya put it like that... Ahhhhh, that stupid event was hardly relevant, anyway! I mean, who even knows the name of that town?"
 * Claw-Hoof: "It was named Shareville by the town's new leader, a family member of Ponyville's own, Mayor Mare, but it was after the fact."
 * Prince Mane-Feathers: "Again, IRRELIVENT! And hey, the vault you found was rendered useless, the Cutie Mark Communisum cult disbanded, and Fartfight Slimmer-"
 * Maud: "Starlight Glimmer."
 * Prince Mane-Feathers: "What you said, anyway, the re-establisher turned straight and narrow thanks to the princess of friendship...... Seriously, WHY IS IT LIKE THAT?! So what, does she reign domain on friendship? Do I have to pay a friendship tax just for having some beer with me mates? Or bowling night? Or when we play "Call of Pony"? I know you ponies obcess over having kinship, but did "Princess of Friendship" really needed to be a bloody thing?"
 * Claw-Hoof: "That's actselly not how it works, your majusty-"
 * Prince Mane-Feathers: "But I'm side-tracking! Ya see, Miss Maud, I may be a firm lad, but I'm also a fair one. I'm more than willing to make this ugly mess go away as quickly as it showed up. There are still some things Momzy and Daddy dearests still take me seriously on, espeically anything like this. I mean, let's be honest miss, this trial's an open and shut case anyway, and in your favor. Thanks to Claw-Hoof not getting you soon enough, even if you had a cruddy lawyer, the fact that the incident ain't very relevent anymore will easily woe the court in your favor. One heartfelt speech from the ex-cutie marxist and it's over and done, (snaps his fingers) bam, like that! It'll be so fillery, they probably won't even record it! And you'll be let off with nothing short of a promise to keep yer yap shut about the vaults, and even that might not be necessary if father's plans to get all that Beakbuck Junk locked up in the palace's basement dunguin's anything to go by. If anything, you just had a free chance to see Hippogrffinmainia, minus being treated like a tourist in light of, this shindig gone bleeding south. So, I'm proposing we ditch the filler, and have you do a small favor for me."
 * Claw-Hoof: "... (Sighs), (Quietly) I knew this was too good to be true with him."
 * Maud: "... Blouder saw this coming a mile away. You clearly wouldn't treat this like a crime if you didn't want something from me. You wanted infomation about certain stones pertaining to wealth, do you?"
 * Prince Mane-Feathers: "What?! No, no, I-"
 * Claw-Hoof: "Your highness, with all do respect, please don't try to play innocent, your ways are no secret to everyone."
 * Prince Mane-Feathers: "... WELL SO MUCH FOR BLOODY SUBTLETY THEN, HUH?! YOU BLOODY KILLJOYS?!"
 * Mullet Hippogriff Enforcer: "Ya see, I told ya they'll figure out."
 * German-Accented Hippogriff Enforcer: "Oh yeah, we saw that coming."
 * Eye-Patched Hippogriff Enforcer: "Oy, now look what happened!"
 * 3D Glasses Wearing Hippogriff Enforcer: "Oh now that's just freaking embarrising!"
 * Masked Hippogriff Enforcer: "(Muffled) Ya know, I still say we should've just been honest from the start and-"
 * Prince Mane-Feathers: "OH SHUT IT, YOU MORONS, YER NOT HELPING?! Best personal guard my arse! (To Maud) Okay, smarty mental-case! I won't beat around the bush since you're so smart! I brought you here because your knowledge of stones intriged me, and I wanted to go after a stone in particular. The Stone of Geo."
 * Maud: "So I take it you had to use your father's paranoia about the vault to even allow this meeting to happen."
 * Prince Mane-Feathers: "Ugggh, okay, I ain't gonna sweeten this. I may had to budge daddy dearest in the right direction to even ALLOW this sort've thing! Otherwise, I wouldn't've been able to otherwise ask the Admiral to hunt you down and bring you to me!"
 * Claw-Hoof: ".... Sir, in all due respect, I can't on good conscience allow this to continue-"
 * Prince Mane-Feathers: "Now hold up, Claw! Remember that it was me that budged Daddy and Momzy to even ALLOW you to get the job as one of the best enforcers I have here! You owe, your literal existence here, to me! Otherwise, ya would've ended up like Perfection and be a homeless bum rotting away in some alley, let alone having to live with your cross-breeding parents like a jobless loser! I can easily undo it if you don't humor me on this!"
 * Claw-Hoof: "..... Are you, BRIBING me?"
 * Prince Mane-Feathers: "More like, implying to end a business deal here. I got you into this because I expect that you do what I ask with minimalistic questions asked! And remember, there's still some things me parents still take my word on! And if they hear that I'm not happy with you, then kiss yer ass and your folks asses here goodbye! Comprende?"
 * Claw-Hoof: "I, I, but-"
 * Prince Mane-Feathers: "WELL?!"
 * Claw-Hoof: "....... Understood sir...... But I want to insist that you keep your word with the pony and actselly let her go afterwords after you get your precious mythical rock!"
 * Prince Mane-Feathers: "Sure, sure, provided if she does nothing to sass me or criticised me, then she's out of here after I get my stone. Ya have my word mate. Alright, let's get the exbition started! Mullet, (Mullet Hippogriff), Get the exbition gear, Strodel, (German-Accented Hippogriff), start fixing up some travel grub, Haggis, (Eye-Patch Hippgriff) Your the map bitch, Maskbeak, (Masked Hippogriff), Find Kissup and Suckup and tell them they're coming with us, and be sure to take off the mask when you do it, and Keith, (3D Glasses Hippogriff)..... BLOODY HELL, CHANGE THE DAMN NAME?! It's embarrising, and I feel bad for you that I said it. I mean, "LOOK OUT, HERE COMES KEITH AND HIS STUPID RED AND BLUE PAPER GLASSES", I mean, really mate?"
 * Keith (The 3D Hippogriff): "..... How's about something for me to ACTSELLY do?"
 * Prince Mane-Feathers: "Oh yeah, get my private chariot ready. We're taking Maud back home."
 * Maud: "..... Blouder and I are confused. Why back to Ponyville?"
 * Prince Mane-Feathers: "Well, let's just say..... That underground cavern is far greater then you actselly would ever believe."
 * The Mane 7, the rest of the pillers, and Stone Cut were seen sitting on the next train heading to Hippogriffinmainia.
 * Rockhoof: "...... I know that some of you are concerned with why I became so concerned about the Stone of Geo."
 * Applejack: Pardon me if I sound disrespectful, but.... No manure, Shadow Spade! Sounded like you've had a LOOOOONG history with that silly stone.
 * Rockhoof: I assure you, Miss Applejack, it is not some silly stone. It's dangerous.
 * Rainbow: Well, duh, you seem to be concerned about it, so it's clearly not good.
 * Somnambula: Rockhoof here had a run-in with the one who previously owned it as he responded to an entire Abyssinian treasury getting stolen. The place was a proud trade nation, and it was returned later after Rockhoof had it and it's owner hidden away.
 * Rockhoof: Precisely. And I can feel in my bones that the Stone of Geo will soon be exposed. If somepony or someone were to get a hold of it, then all treasuries in the world, or if empowered more, of all worlds, of any universe, will be in danger.
 * (Rockhoof): The Stone of Geo is an accursed rock said to have been forged by the Almighty Alicorn God of Wealth, Fortune, Prize, and Value, King Mammon. Though it got it's name because a reckless soul dared tampered with it. Granted, there was tecnecally TWO reckless souls, but we're focusing more on the SECOND thief, the first was LONG dealt with. When Abyssinia got it's treasury taken, I confirmed the same culprit was involved. Thus, it took me a while to discover the aforementioned culprit. It was a griffin king, named Geo G. Raphic.
 * (Pinkie): "Yyyyyeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaah, if Icky was here, he would probuly have a very raunchy opinion about the name."
 * (Rockhoof): "Geo was a theiving king of a griffin community, that were strayers of the Griffins that founded Griffinstone and instead lived in a beautiful cavern with a beautiful waterfall and paradise in it. They were victims that gave in to their greed and turned into a kingdom of criminals. And Geo's greatest thieving instrament, was the Stone of Geo. The stone was capable to malmitulate all currentcy magicly through the magic of portals and bring all of the wealth to the location of it's user. Geo became immeasurely rich. So much so, that even the brightest minds of any time could barely comprehend his exact wealth. However, his unchecked greed came with a price, that only his followers had noticed."
 * King Geo was seen laughing as he was slowly turning into some kind of monster, as his followers gasped!
 * (Rockhoof): "The poor fools were helpless to stop this themselves, for they and many of their fellow thiefs, began to turn into Jewelfish, basicly, the richer sub-cousin of the silverfish."
 * The Griffins of Geo were screaming and screeching as they were transforming!
 * Rockhoof arrived!
 * (Rockhoof): "I was too late to stop that fool's own self-destructive end..... But I at least made sure that he would forever be contained in his own kingdom, with only his inhered griffinmainia wealth left."
 * Rockhoof was able to defeat a silluette of a now monsterious King Geo.
 * (Rockhoof): "With a stomp of my hoof, I caused their kingdom to sink further into the caverns, too far deem for even the bravest adventure to consider venturing, and hope that Geo would be too humilated by his defeat, or too afraid of a second encounter costing him he corrupted Stone of Geo, to ever trouble us again..... And until know, Geoatoa, as he calls himself now in his cursed state, never rose to be a problem again...."
 * Rockhoof: "Or at least, if this foolish prince has his way, until the stone gets stolen from him, and he is driven with mad greed and already lack of sanity that it will drive him to go through any lentghs to get the Stone of Geo back. So determined, that only the harshest waters of the river Syiks itself would hold him back."
 * Meadowbrook: "Or just as much if the Stone was cured and purifived of it's corruption."
 * Starlight: "Well, gee, that doesn't sound like something no pony should mess with. Let alone someone as ill-mannered as the prince."
 * Flash Magnus: "No kidding. Then all the more reason to put that spoiled hybrid in his place."
 * Spike: "Well thankfully, the trial isn't for awhile anyway. That's plenty of time to make our case and get Maud back to collect rocks like nothing happened."
 * Starswirl: "But here's what worries me. Can we be sure this prince, being as ill-fit as he is to be a royal, doesn't capitalised on finally getting this "Maud Pie" and takes her to go after the Stone of Geo?"
 * Rainbow Dash: "Assuming the Wonderbolts and the Royal Guard would let that."
 * Mistmane: "And what makes you positive he won't just send them away like a weapon with no more purpose, based on my understanding?"
 * Rarity: "Oh it's not like they're gonna end up leaving the Hippogriffinmainia city and-"
