As the sun rose again over the Mexico coast, firestorm woke in his room in the inn him and his first mate had rented out, until they had a place to stay.

"Morning Captain, we gonna get a ship today?"

"Dunno Sparks, possibly, we do need to get the old crew back together" Captain Firestorm called his first mate 'Sparks' even though his real name was GunPowder, and these two had had their share of problems with the explosive dust. GunPowder was a soot black Unicorn, with a red and orange mane, with an explosion for a cutie mark, his talent was demolition and armaments.

"Well who's first?"

"BlackJack"

"Why her?"

"She's apparently in the market, after being grounded, just like us"

"Well lets not waste another second captain! Let's go!" and on that word, Sparks took his effects, and shot downstairs, out the door and into the market. Firestorm stumbled around, still half asleep, took his two flintlocks, musket and Scimitar, and ran after sparks.

Chapter 1- Hunting for BlackJack

Firestorm kept his head hidden under his hat, so not to raise alarms and get the red flanks on him. Red flanks were in every major coastal town in the Caribbean, the gulf of Mexico included.

"'Scuse me sir, have you seen this mare?" Sparks held a picture up of BlackJack, the Colt pointed his hoof over to a nearby tavern, Sparks Shook his hoof and went into the tavern, not before being grabbed by his captain.

"Sparks... You really think you can just go sauntering into there?"

"Yeah? Free country"

"Almost..."

"So I cut his throat, and THEN took his money!" A group of pirates were shouting and laughing like a bunch of drunkards, well they were, but sat in the middle, was a mare, with a yellow and black mane, and a neatly tied up tail to boot, this was blackjack, a mare who was born at sea, and didn't know any other life than one of piracy, If anyone knew how to avoid red flanks, it was blackjack.

"So your grounded, robbed of your ship and this is how you spend your time? In a tavern, with a bunch of brutish colts BlackJack?"

"Captain?"

"I was too..." She ran up and leapt into his arms, the group of pirates she was with burst out laughing and jeering, calling her a sissie and such, then she drew her pistols, firestorm drew his musket and they all stood there, Blackjack, sparks and firestorm on one, six burly colts on another.

"Good to see ya again stormy"

"Not the best time J..."

"Well we gonna deal with this your way or my way?"

"Well what's your method?"

"Take cover!" She leapt up, and backwards, shooting two colts in the

chest, they dropped their pistols, firestorm ran, leapt up onto a table and, using the bayonet on his musket, impaled a pirate, and drew his sword, shot another, and was about to start swinging, except sparks began throwing splinter bombs around, the tavern began to explode left right and centre, Firestorm scowled at the over energetic unicorn, he gave a nervous grin. "Well it worked..."

"Well how u gonna deal with that sugar?" BlackJack pointed her hoof to a squad of red flanks, poised and ready to fire

"Easy, use a smokey" He chucked a fused bomb on the floor, within seconds it released a thick smoke, and they slipped past the red flanks and out into the market.

"Nice thinking sparks, but they're still looking for us"

"Let's get my ship back first"

"Your ship was mine, the cinderpearl?"

"After we were marooned, and you and the others went their separate ways, I commandeered another boat, the Shiverleaf, and I lost that thing too"

"Well lets get it back then, is it docked here?"

"Provided those haybrains haven't cast off with it"

"Does it have blue masts?"

"Yeah why?"

"Is that it?" Sparks pointed to a magnificent Ship, with Icy blue masts, and classic pirate colours on the top flag

"Why it certainly is Sparkey! Come on! Let's take it back"
