Author's Notes:
Okay, then. Without any further a due, I can proceed with the first chapter. Let's start...
Chapter 1: A Foreshadow Plan
Some years before...
On the stormy night, Captain Jack Silver left the Maris as he set the sails across the stormy yet dangerous sea. Captain Jack Silver looked up at the blackish sky as he gave a large sigh. A sudden shook on his shoulder, Captain Jack Silver turned and found Adewala Jr. looking at him.
"Captain," Adewala said calmly, "Not a best time to sightseeing."
Captain Jack Silver sighed, "Sorry, Adewala. Didn't mean to give you a scare, matey."
"Yeah... You sure did. Things have gotten worse lately..."
"No joking... Ever since my pops and I became Captain Edward's Successor, things gotten mess up lately. Achilles is gonna kill me for the mess I had made."
"Jackie. It isn't your fault. Remember - we didn't know what was going on from Hottingham." Adewala comforted before sighed, "And trust me, it was no Grimmore's Forbidden Knowledge. It was something else..."
Captain Jack nodded, "Aye... That box... It was trying to maintain the balance. That was Mystic's, not Demon God's. And we screw it up. So many lives died because of us."
"Not only that, Captain," The feminine voice spoke. Both Captain Jack Silver and Adewala turned and found a light pink Pegasus with crimson gentle long mane and tail and her Cutie Mark was Pistol, Dagger and Blossoming Flower. She continued, "Shay betrayed us. Our Assassin Brotherhood from Colonial City... They're gone. They're dead. Only Achilles survived. We've destroyed everything we touched..."
"Anne... This isn't your fault. It's mine." Captain Jack Silver admitted while looking down. He sighed, "If only I had listened to Andrew, none of this had happen. I'm such an idiot. Everything's been messed up."
"Captain..." Anne said in concern.
Captain Jack Silver sighed in defeat, "I just hope of what I did is the right one, especially for the kid.
"You did what you have to captain," Billy said calmly, "Besides, we're lucky that Dark Mystic of Vengeance spared him. Damn! I just hope those partners of ours get to Canterlot in time."
"Yeah... So, what's next, captain? We can't go back to Colonial City. We've been banished from going back to Assassin's home." Adewala asked in concern.
Anne nodded her head, "And not to mention, we've got lots of enemies chasing us. Dark Mystic Ponies, Demon Knights and some renegade pirates - they're coming for us now. I wonder if we ever get forgiven."
Captain Jack Silver sighed, "Who knows... But there's one thing we can do now." He turned and looked at his crew, "We're gonna get both manuscript and the box back. There's no telling what those monsters were planning. We let the world down once, not gonna happen again. Who's with me?!"
Crew of Powerful Sphere cheered wildly and loudly, "AYE, AYE CAPTAIN!"
Captain Jack Silver smirked, "Come mateys! We've got Manuscript and Box to get back! And we'll make sure that no one learns about Mystic Balance Box. Or it could be another end of the world! Set sails!"
Upon receiving the order from their captain, Crew of Powerful Sphere prepared their ship in ready to set sail. They had the mission to complete before things went bad...
During the raining season, a white hooded pony came before the Canterlot Castle. He approached and headed straight to the door. Upon reaching the poarch, he took and left the baby cradle basket in front of it. He then gave the door a knock. He then disappeared from sight.
As the door was opened, Princess Celestia came out while showing her curious and yet concerned looks. She found no one until... she heard a strange crying sound. Princess Celestia looked down and found a brown baby pony in his cradle. She was in shock and surprised of it. She looked around before levitating the basket up. She then entered the castle quickly.
Within the chamber, Princess Celestia spoke with her advisor: Spell Nexus about the brown colt she found. She asked of what she should do with the colt.
Spell Nexus spoke, "I suggest you should put him in the orphanage. After all... You don't want to go through the pain after some losses since..."
Princess Celestia sighed, "I know... Let me think. I need some time to think..."
Spell Nexus nodded his head, "As you wish, Your Highness."
Spell Nexus turned and left the throne chamber. Princess Celestia turned to her right as she gave a cleared throat. The white hooded pony came out from the curtain and turned to her.
"I thought I told you to give him to Jack Silver. Having him here means... he will be in grave danger," Princess Celestia said firmly.
The white hooded pony bowed, "Forgive me, Celestia. But I did what I asked. But Jack Silver... Ponies are blaming him for the mess he had made, especially Lord Azure. You know how angry he is."
"But Jack Silver did well in hiding him from danger. But why now?"
"My son and Dark Mystic Ponies almost had him," the white hooded pony explained. Princess Celestia gasped in concern. He continued, "If it weren't for him, your son would have been made as a Dark Mystic Tool."
"No..."
"And the reason why Jack asked me to give the baby to you because... He will be more safe with you than with him."
"But I can't... I can't..."
"Please, Celestia... For Ben..."
Princess Celestia came over to the basket as she was inspecting the colt. The baby Ben hugged the Alicorn's muzzle like a teddy bear. She gasped in shock and surprise before she gave a warm smile...
"Well?" The white hooded pony asked.
Princess Celestia levitated Ben before hugging him warmly and gently. She then looked at the white hooded pony, "Yes... I'll look after Ben. He's my son now. Thank you, Tao..."
The white hooded pony or known as Tao smiled gently and warmly...
Within the Dark Chamber; Smaug, Dark Curse and Grimmore had been gathered on the round table as they were having some discussion. Dark Curse; disappointed and annoyed by Shadow Dragon's failure and refused, reported of what he had learn.
Smaug hummed, "So... Both Captain Jack Silver and Princess Celestia had something for each other. And I thought it was a joke."
Dark Curse nodded, "Having him among us would be our great advantage to defeat both Princess Celestia and retake the Equestria and Mystic Realm. Now we've lost the chance."
"Hardly... After all, I believe we have some special plans for the boy..." Grimmore said calmly.
"What do you mean, Grimmore?" Smaug asked curiously.
Grimmore chuckled evilly, "If truth revealed to the public of who he really was, tension between families will rise. The boy will choose his part."
Dark Curse smirked darkly, "Indeed... A perfect chance to make him one of us. and make him Dark Mystic Pony before those fools have the chance. After all, Shadow Dragon said that there's more to him than meets the eyes. He's referring to his vision."
Smaug hummed, "Very well. We watch and see how the plan works..."
Grimmore and Dark Curse nodded their heads in agreement. They had some special plans for Ben when time comes...
In Present...
Apocalypse Ponies, Dark Mystic Ponies and Grimmore had been gathered in the Chamber of Nothingness for their latest council and meeting...
Smaug spoke, "My comrades and allies... The time has come... It is time the world learn the truth of Ben's origin." Everyone but Grimmore, Shadow Dragon and Grimmore chatted with each other in shock, concern and surprise of what Smaug had said. He continued, "By revealing the truth to the public, they will know who his mother really was. His family may have avoided him from knowing the truth, but it won't be long for more..."
"What are you suggesting, father?" Merluck asked in concern.
Smaug smirked, "By using the truth against his own family. When that happens, he will have no friends or family to trust since they knew him."
Twilight Moon smirked, "Celestia, Jack Silver, Mystic Ponies, Wind Assassins, Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash and her children knew about his origin. And they didn't they tell him the truth. He will turn to someone else to trust."
"Me," Shadow Dragon spoke calmly.
Smaug smirked, "Indeed. If Ben refused, we make him come with us. I believe Fluttercruel and Spiritshadow are fit for the task?"
Fluttercruel chuckled evilly, "It will be my pleasure."
"Her soul... Her soul... She's mine..." Spiritshadow muttered evilly while laughed maniacally.
"That's not all," Smaug continued, "We will shift the balance of Ponyland. When that happens, Ponyland will lose their powers and strengths."
"Above of all, Smaug," Dark Curse spoke, "we have use of Heart of Ponyland. I will have Guildenstern, MechaStahl, Houndkiller and Crossblast to weaponize it as our perfect weapon."
"I agreed," Wilco spoke calmly, "Dr. Liazrdo and I will be involve of it. I would like to see how powerful it can be."
Smaug smirked, "Good. Very good. Everything is going according to our plan. First, we must have the Heart on our grasps. And the second, turn Ben to our sides. And finally, Equestria and Mystic Realm will fall..."
Grimmore chuckled, "And soon, my freedom will be ensured..."
Smaug, Dark Curse and Grimmore laughed and chuckled evilly and darkly as the plans was about to engage...
It was another day in Ponyville. Princess Twilight Sparkle and the council, having gone enough another adventure, is having a picnic with their friends and foal-friends. Fluttershy was giggling as Dexter was talking, Rarity was speaking fashion tips with Lord Eric, Caramel and Applejack were giving out apple cider to Rainbow and Soarin'...while Brian and Pinkie are telling jokes to the CMC who listen anxiously.
"Okay: what's green, on fry and you can put it on a stick?" Brian ask the foals with a smile.
"Uh, uh, the guy from the Halloween films!" Snips exclaims stupidly.
"Duh, no way! It's a monkey!" Snails exclaims, correcting his colleague.
"Hey, I think I know my movie references, Snails!"
"A Martianmallow?" Nyx ask with a squee.
"You got it!" Pinkie exclaims, bouncing up and down as most of the gang laugh.
"I don't get it." Barbara Dragon said, eating some gems in concern.
"One thing about jokes, it's best not to explain them." Spike said to Barbara, chuckling while elbowing her a bit.
"For once, we got a day...with no villains, no disaster, no nothing." Ben said, lying on his back while facing the sky. "So far, our enemies...are busy as of late."
"Yes, but we better not be over confident. How many times have they did us, especially when..." Twilight said, recalling how the gang found out the hard way that Chase is really Shadow Dragon, the Dark Mystic Pony.
"Twilight, let's not talk about that. Let's try to enjoy ourselves. Not like we're going anywhere."
Suddenly Spike yelps as he coughs like made. Colby, noticing, exclaims, "Gee, I think Spike is coughing up a hairball!"
"No, I think he's..." Jakk said. Suddenly Spike burps up a flame, resulting in a scroll to appear. "...yep."
"Is that a message from Princess Celestia?" Soarin' ask curiously as the others gather around.
"I wonder what the princess has to say." Dexter said curiously. "If it's not a problem to ask."
"Well, open it Spike." Twilight urges Spike who opens it up.
Spike clears his throat as he speak, "'To Princess Twilight Sparkle and friends. You are cordially invited to the...hmmm, the number is smudged out...birthday of Princesses Celestia and Luna, to be held in the castle of their mothers the Princess Ponies on the...blah, blah, blah. Feel free to have your own transportation or we will be happy to provide you one.'"
"A birthday!" Brian and Pinkie exclaims happily, making streamers appear from somewhere.
"Mom and Aunt Luna's birthday. Oh, I almost forgot about it." Ben said with a smile, resulting that his mother Celestia and his aunt Luna's birthday, which is one the same day, is coming up.
"And it's at the Princess Ponies' castle. Oh, it's great to see them again!" Twilight giggles happily.
"Ooooh, to be in the legendary home of the most immortal ponies in Ponyland. What a great honor." Rarity giggles while rubbing her mane.
"Yeah, and to witness a milestone, another treat!" Lord Eric exclaims in agreement.
"So how will we get there?" Nyx ask curiously. "Should we ask for transportation or something?"
"Yeah, the castle of the Princesses Ponies is so far away!' Sweetie groans as she fell down. "My hooves can't take the walking."
"It said we can asked for transportation or provide our own." Twilight said, scratching her shin for thought. "Perhaps we should make our own."
"But there ain't any train tracks near 'de Princess Ponies' home." Applejack said in reminder.
"Perhaps Professor Whack will give us an answer."
Professor Whack, ever since he first moved to Ponvyille after he is sentenced to community service for the cutie mark threat, lives under a house somewhere in Ponyville in the middle of a field. The group arrives as Twilight rang the doorbell.
A camera near the door turns as a familiar voice spoke over the intercom, "Who is it?"
"Professor Whack? It's us!" Twilight calls to Professor Whack. "We need to speak with you."
"Oh! Princess and friends. Come on in!"
The door opens as everyone comes in...and walks down stairs to the basement main floor. Professor Whack's home is practically his workshop/basement/living area. At least that is how it is before he moved in.
"Whack, Whack!" Caramel calls out, looking around.
"Are you around? Professor Whack!" Twilight calls out to her friend.
Suddenly a figure wearing a welding mask peeks in, booming, "Yeees?"
"AAAAARGGGGH!" Everyone screams in a panic, freaking out at the sight, some of the fliers except Scootaloo flew up in a panic.
The figure removes his mask, revealing the familiar face of Professor Whack who smiles as he spoke, "Sorry, I always forget I'm wearing this thing when I'm working."
"Argh! I hate it when you do that!" Rainbow exclaims as she lands on the floor in irritation.
"I apologize again. What can I do you for?"
Ben sighs, calming down as he spoke, "Professor, my mother and my aunt Luna's birthday is coming up and it's to be held at the castle of the Princess Ponies. We are hoping that you could provide us some transportation."
"Right, there isn't any train tracks an' we need 'ta git there." Apple Bloom said with a cute smile.
"Pleeeeeease?" The CMC members exclaims, squeezing a bit while giving cute looks.
Professor Whack chuckles, smiling as he said, "Now then. How could I say no to that? Now that you mention it, I have been working on a special project for some time now. Go outside and I will reveal it."
Everyone looks at each other puzzled then shrugs as they head outside. Upon doing so, the gang are startled as a rumble is heard. The field opens up as a huge jumbo plane came out of a hole in the ground.
"WHOA!" Most of the group exclaims in amazement.
"Sweeet!" Snips, Snails, Lorenzo and Spike exclaims with smiles.
"Like it?" Professor Whack ask with a grin as he came out of his home in approval. "It took me a few weeks, especially when I got that from Earth, but I was able to fix it up good as soon."
"It's amazing!" Rarity exclaims with a smile.
"Now this is what I call travelling in style!" Lord Eric exclaims in approval, giving a thumbs up (with a hoof) to the professor.
"But can it fly?" Barbara ask in concern, glancing at the plane.
"I managed to fix the engines, fill them up with gas, make her as good as new!" Professor Whack explains to the female concerned Dragon. "It should..."
"You didn't test fly this thing yet, did you?"
"No, but I'm sure it will fly."
Twilight sighs in concern. She is not sure if going to the Castle of the Princess Ponies will be safe in this thing. But their options are limited at this point.
"Well, it will have to do. Everyone? Get your supplies and your usual thing." Twilight said, giving out orders to everyone to get prepared.
"Oooh! Can I invite my friends?" Pinkie ask Twilight, bouncing up and down. The Alicorn couldn't help but laugh at that.
"All right, but make it quick. We got to go."
Pinkie smirks as she and Brian nods to each other, then after jumping into the air, they made a scramble and rush off.
"All right, balloons, banners, apple cider, anything we need is in the plane." Spike said, checking off the checklist.
"So are us, mommy!" Nyx exclaims with a squee. The Alicorn filly and her friends are in safety gear, though Snips and Snails kinda overdid it with theirs.
"Cutie Mark Crusader Safety Ponies, yay!" The CMC exclaims loudly enough.
"Where's Pinkie and Brian?" Ben ask, looking around for any sign of their friends.
"Here we are!" Brian exclaims as he and Pinkie appears, startling the gang.
"Wow, you are random!" Rainbow exclaims with a yelp.
"And we got all our friends!" Pinkie exclaims, giggling as she points back. "See?"
The rest of the gang looks back...and yelps as the rest of Ponyville is right behind Pinkie and Brian, with party supplies, refreshment, anything they can think of.
"Hope we are on time!" Mayor Mare exclaims with a smile. "It's hard to decide what to wear."
"Yew invited all o' Ponyville?!" Applejack yelps to Pinkie and Brian in shock.
"Yeah. Is that a bad thing?" Pinkie ask Applejack, blinking. "This is a Super Duper Big Party, and we even send invite to Cheese Sandwich. He will be there before we do!"
Twilight and Ben sighs, shaking their heads. They don't have time. The princess said, "All right, they can go. But someone needs to be up front to help Professor Whack fly this thing."
"I will take my shot at it, princess!" Doctor Hooves exclaims, holding up a hoof to volunteer.
"Yeah! Dinky and I can be up front, yahoo!" Derpy exclaims with a happy smile.
"All right, everypony, get on board, next stop: the home of the Princess Ponies!" Ben calls out to Ponyville, making everyone cheers on excitedly.
Hopefully the trip to Ponyville will be safe in that Earth plane.
An hour or two had passed, the Earth Airplane flew over Canterlot and Land of Ma. Ponyville Citizens chatted happily with each other as they all were excited and happy to be part of Princess Celestia and Luna's Birthday Party. They all couldn't wait to try and join in.
Spike, Barbara and Cutie Mark Crusaders were singing happily as they all wanted to make their song perfect. Fluttershy and Dexter were there to help as well. Pinkie and Brian were discussing about how the party settle. Rarity was still working on what kind of designs Royal Sisters would wear, with the guidance and help of Lord Eric. Rainbow Dash and Soarin were pilotting the plane. Applejack and Caramel gave some foods and drinks to the guests. Twilight smiled happily in seeing how happy her ponies were.
As Twilight turned and found Ben staring at the sky, she wondered what he had in his mind.
"Ben? What's wrong?" Twilight asked curiously.
Ben sighed as he looked at her, "I can't believe that I almost forget her birthday. I should've been aware of it. I'm such a dumb stallion."
"Come on, Ben. You're not. You're just like us - we forget too, like what happen to Cranky and Matilda's Wedding?"
"Yeah... I remember that. While you girls deal with Bear Bug; me, Flash and Soarin gotta deal with Hydragoon! Damn that monster! He actually wanted to eat me up!"
"Dragoking? Yeah. He does really like you."
"More like hating me." Ben sighed happily, "I hope everything will be alright. I hope my mom won't hate me forgetting her birthday."
"I'm sure she won't." Twilight gasped as she looked at the right window, "Speaking of happy, we're here!"
Her friends and ponies turned to their right window. They saw the Heart of Ponyland. They awed in amazement and surprise. They finally had arrived at the area...
As the plane slowly landed, it opened its several doors sides and lowered the stairs down. The Ponyville Ponies climbed down the stairs at once while cheering and chatting happily with each other. They were all excited to be part of their rulers' birthday party.
They then met up with bluish masked and armored Unicorn Royal Guard-like who held a gun-like with chainsaw, along with couple of Royal Guards-like.
The first one cleared his throat as he saluted, "Greetings, Sir! We are honored you are here! I'm Private Ben-!"
"Carmine?!" Ben exclaimed in shock and surprise. Twilight and her friends were surprise upon looking at the soldier. Ponyville Ponies were confused about it. He approached and looked at Ben Carmine carefully, "You're Ben Carmine? You're from Delta Gears, right?"
Carmine was stunned and surprised as he nodded, "Yes... But how did you know me? We've just met. And I especially like your heroic style. They're so awesome! Are you a psychic?"
Ben chuckled a bit as he shook his head, "No... I met your counterpart before. He was a great pony I ever met. It's so great to meet you again."
"Er... Thanks? I guess." Carmine said awkwardly. He cleared his throat, "Anyway, your mother was expecting you to be here. And I'm your escort."
"Lead the way, Carmine. Think you can handle it?"
Carmine saluted proudly, "Yes, sir! You can count on me!"
"Good..." Ben smile.
Ben and his friends headed off at once. They were all headed straight to Heart of Ponyland.
Rainbow whistled, "I didn't expect to meet him here again."
"Eeyup... Just like before when we went to another dimension," Applejack agreed, "He was a great pony to count on."
Rarity nodded, "Indeed. He's very gentlepony I must say."
"I just hope that he lived on. I can't stand to see him died again..." Fluttershy said in sadness.
"Me too. He's so optimistic and caring pony. And I really like him." Nyx nodded her head, "I just hope Power Master don't plan to make him died in some story. That's already happen in Gears of War 2."
Spike smiled, "Me too."
Pinkie cleared her throat as she pulled down the empty scroll. She wrote it down: "For those who wondered why we know about Benjamin Carmine, it's gonna have to wait until JusSonic and Power Master come across Light and Shadow Unite. It's gonna be great!"
Pinkie pulled the scroll in rolling back up. Everyone remained silent as they don't even want to know what she did. Brian didn't even know what she was talking about. All they did chuckled and giggled in amusement.
An hour had passed, Twilight and her friends had arrived at the Heart of Ponyland - home of Immortal or Princess Ponies. As they walked and passed by the town, they were all amazed and surprised by its appearance and designs, especially the decorated party. The ponies cheered happily and chatted with each other as they were all enjoying the party together.
To add their surprise, they saw some familiar faces around. Cheese Sandwich was playing his accordion. Flash Sentry was talking with Sunset Shimmer, along with Spitfire and Fleetfoot talking.
"It's Cheese Sandwich! Come on! We'd better help him now!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed happily.
"Yeah! Party time!" Brian exclaimed happily.
Pinkie and Brian headed off at once as they joined in the band together with Cheese Sandwich in playing the instruments. Rainbow Dash and Soarin joined in with both Spitfire and Fleetfoot about the Wonderbolts. Applejack, her family and Caramel had time together in eating the foods. Fluttershy and Dexter continued help training Cutie Mark Crusaders in singing the song. Rarity and Lord Eric continued working on clothes. Ponyville Ponies chatted with Princess Ponies and others about their cultures and differences.
Twilight and her family looked around of their surroundings in search of Princess Celestia and Luna. They were about to get lost but Ben Carmine came and guided them to find Royal Sisters. For the couple of minutes, they've found them talking with Azure Phoenix and some of his generals. But to their surprise and shocks, Tao and his family weren't there.
They didn't bother to ask, so Twilight and her family headed off and meet up with Royal Sisters and Phoenix Kingdom's Lord. They bowed down and greeted them properly and happily.
Azure Phoenix chuckled a bit, "Ah... Twilight Sparkle and Benjamin Mare. Nice to see you here."
Princess Celestia smiled, "Thank you, Carmine. You did well. My son spoke highly of you. He told me that you may have been a mere beginner, but you had a heart and brave for saving the lives and being loyal to your kingdom. I certainly hope that you won't let your counterpart and brothers' down."
"Can you handle the mission as Prince Maregillian's Scout?" Princess Luna asked curiously.
Ben Carmine bowed down and answered awkwardly, "Thanks. I think? Wow... I inspired the Prince. That is so cool..."
"So, mom... I see you and Azure talking of the old times?" Ben asked curiously, "Both of you are getting close."
Princess Celestia giggled, "We certainly did."
"Yes..." Azure Phoenix said calmly, "And don't worry, Ben. Your mother and I are friends, that is all. We do not want to have love affairs again."
"Good enough..." Ben sighed in relief, "So, is dad coming here?"
Princess Celestia smiled, "Yes, Ben. I invited Jack here."
Azure Phoenix groaned in annoyance, "I hope he doesn't try cause some problems again. I can't stand it. He's so annoying and imbecile as Cunning Fury had claimed."
Princess Celestia groaned, "You're too uptight and serious. You really need some time off and have some fun for a while."
"Really? Like you trolling and agreeing with Discord's stupid jokes? And not to mention, I'm the one had to clean your messes. No wonder you need me to handle government affairs. You're truly hopeless and lazy."
"Is that so? At least, I don't have my generals to be mean at Griffins. Not that your General Clawdestroyer have a heart to his own kind? Nearly want to kill Gilda because she was descendant of Noble Guild."
"Are you trying to compare me to you? You can't even tell difference between true ponies and changelings!"
"And you're too busy about the war and politics, Azure! Compare you to Jack and Sombra, they take some time with me and my family for once."
"Why you-! How dare you, you incompetent princess?!"
"I dare you to insult me again, uptight Emperor!"
Princess Celestia and Azure Phoenix argued loudly and angrily at each other while leaving the rest shock and surprise. Ben and Twilight sighed in annoyance while shaking their heads, and even One-Eyed Anger and Schemetrick agreed to it.
Princess Luna sighed, "Honestly... You two are truly married couples..."
"Silence!" Princess Celestia and Azure Phoenix exclaimed in anger.
Princess Luna sighed in upset. Princess Celestia and Azure Phoenix continued argued at each other.
Carmine confused, "Are they always like that?"
"Maybe I shouldn't mention about my dad..." Ben said meekly.
Twilight sighed with her eyes rolled over, "Never mind. I'm sure they'll get over it."
"By the way, has anyone see Tao? I thought Granny Celly invited them here..." Nyx asked curiously, "I want to ask him more about some spells."
"Yeah... He is our Mystic Guardian, and not to mention - Princess Celestia's Personal Tutor!" Spike exclaimed proudly.
Everyone quickly be silent before looked at Twilight's family. Like something had happen to them...
Princess Celestia sighed, "I'm sorry... Tao and his family won't be joining us." Twilight's family looked confuse. She continued as she looked away. She said sternly, "He told me... He had some mission to perform. After all, it's not like I care for him, especially how he knew my feelings..."
"Celestia!" Azure scolded angrily, "There is no way for you to talk to him
"Excuse me... I need some fresh air..."
Princess Celestia turned and headed off. Azure Phoenix sighed in annoyance as he headed off and met up with her. Both of them chat for the moment in cooling her temper down.
"What was that? I'd never seen her angry like that before..." Ben asked in concern.
Twilight nodded her head, "Did Tao do something wrong to her? He'd never did wrong unless..."
Princess Luna sighed, "Worry not. She'll get over it. But for now, enjoy the party. We don't want anything else to ruin our mood of happy birthday."
Twilight and Ben were still concern of Princess Celestia's behavior but decided not to bother as they all joined in the party as well. Ben also hope that his father would join in the party as well.
Within the large yet rounded chamber-like, some familiar characters climbed down the rope from the top. They were Captain Jack Silver, Mystic Andrew Thief, Adewale, Billy, Anne, Luffy, Naomi, Zero and Loudmouth. They were slowly approaching to the Heart. They awed in surprise and amazement.
"Are you sure you want to go through? Princess has summoned you!" Adewale asked in concern.
"Who cares?! Let's steal it! It's gonna be fun to fight!" Luffy exclaimed wildly.
Naomi whacked Luffy's head hard, "Luffy, you idiot! We're not here to fight! We're here to get the Heart and escape! That's the plan!"
"Will you knock it off?! We'll get caught if you don't shut up!" Billy scolded angrily.
"That's enough!" Anne exclaimed in annoyance, "Jack, what's your order?"
Andrew shook his head, "Please... Don't do it. She wouldn't want you do it..."
"Let's take it. And hopefully, she can find us when we leave the note here." Jack sighed, "The last thing I want is making her bad..."
"You already did, pirate scum..." The voice said darkly. The pirates yelped in shock as they turned to their backs. They found Strikespell standing in front of the door. He glared at them, "All of you are so predictable... No wonder my father hates you a lot, illegitimate father of Ben!"
"You! Damn it!" Jack Silver exclaimed in concern as he took his sword out.
As Jack armed and ready, his comrades joined in as well. They were ready to fight with Strikespell, even though he is Mystic Pony. As Strikespell approached, he scoffed a bit while looking at them.
"I would surrender if I were you..."
Jack Silver stopped for the moment as he looked around. He found Phoenix Royal Guards armed with their bows and arrows while some on the front aiming their spears and swords at them with Clawdestroyer and Axen leading them.
Jack Silver realized he was trapped by Strikespell. He sighed in anger as he threw his sword down at once after realizing that he cannot win. His comrades did the same thing. Strikespell smirled darkly as he caught the pirate.
At the party scene, everyone was still celebrating and cheering. Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Azure Phoenix, Twilight and all of her friends were chatting with Megan and Princess Ponies. But they also were waiting for Captain Jack Silver's arrival. So far, it was getting late...
"Where is he? He should be here by now..." Princess Celestia said in concern.
Ben patted his mother's, "He'll come! He'll come. I know it. He wouldn't miss it."
"You're right. He wouldn't." Strikespell said coldly. As everyone turned, they all gasped in shock. They saw Strikespell and his soldiers bringing Jack Silver and his crew before them. He continued, "Say hello to your guests..."
"Hey..." Jack Silver greeted sheepishly.
"Dad..." Ben said in shock.
"Not again..." Princess Celestia said in concern
Azure Phoenix sighed in annoyance and concern while everyone muttered and chatted in concern and worry about Jack Silver. He was in big trouble again. What will happen next?
