Chapter 02) Joining The Crew?
Last time, the passengers aboard the Voyager cruise ship were attacked…BY PIRATES!? And not just any, but lead by their captain, who is the Pirate PonyLord; Captain SparrowJack. The Mane Six have indeed tried to put a stop to the pirates, but while the other pirates were okay enough for them, those within a title nickname department were proven to be far better then anticipated? Not even Twilight Sparkle was able to see that she was outsmarted and outplayed by SparrowJack, but he let her off easy. And while the pirates sailed away on their ship, a ship with black sails called: the Black Pearl, more problems arose. As the Cutie Mark Crusaders were on a list of missing passengers, and the Mane Six feared the fillies musta gotten aboard the pirate ship? The question to be asked…what will happen when pirates find out they have stowaways?
~IN A DARK PLACE~
Right now, the image focuses on something where there was barely any light for us to see? But there were a few things, such as where a crack of light brighten the inside to show….a stack of apples and….THREE FILLIES! Yes, the Cutie Mark Crusaders that were hiding inside a barrel full of apples when the raiding of their ship; the Voyager, got a surprise visit from pirates. However, they remained quiet for so long while hiding, they don't know what's really happened?
"Where are we?" Sweetie Belle asked from not knowing where they 'were' anymore after things quiet down.
"In a barrel full of apples, remember?" Scootaloo reminded her friend of the obvious matter of their present location.
"I think Sweetie Belle meant, wha's happenin' outside? Like, wha was with us moving around?" Apple Bloom pointed out in knowing what was to be the actual point of their situation.
"How should I know?" Scootaloo shrug off her hooves in not being the one to know this sorta stuff. "Anyway, think we should get out now?" She moved a bit from her friends in planning to leave the inside of an apple barrel.
"Are you sure it's safe?" Sweetie Belle asked a bit hasty and concern, feeling they don't know if it's safe yet?
"Please, we're totally safe if the noise has stopped." Scootaloo rolled her eyes about that warning before putting her hooves on the lid of the barrel.
Outside the barrel, seemed normal at the time…or was it? Without warning, it was wobbling a bit before the lid was soon popped out from it's top and landed on the ground with a tiny impact noise. And then coming out from inside was the little fillies themselves.
"Few…." The CMC signed with relief, they are out of the barrel at long last, and were slowly opening their eyes at their surroundings. "Hugh!" But little did they know, that they were most definitely not in any part of the cruise ship; the Voyager, or for that fact: On it. Since the surroundings were of a totally different design then a simple cruise ship. It looked like they were in the lowest part of the ship used for storage. Among the supplies kept there are ammunition, food, and surprisingly to Apple Bloom, apple cider barrels.
"Now I may not have gone on too many cruise ships, but I can tell…this isn't the one we've boarded?" Apple Bloom spoke off from having to notice, that something here wasn't quite right. "I helped my family bring the apples and ciders in their storage, but this ain't it?" The little farmer filly was right in knowing that this was not the same storage as that from the Voyager?
"So, where do you suppose we are if not on the ship?" Sweetie Belle asked a bit concern in where they are if not on the one with the others?
"We'll have to try exploring a bit to find the answers out, come on!" Scootaloo issued forth the only thing they can do at this time.
Without any arguing, the CMC were quietly sneaking around the area while trying to not come in contact or knock things over to alert their presence to anyone. By the time they left out of the door, they were quietly going down a hall while checking out any rooms they came across. One of them rooms had a brig comprised of two cells, it was most likely near the storage area because leaking water seemed to have been a problem here, but was fixed…sorta? Much of the fillies were gulping if they were found, they be put in the brig before leaving. In another room that from traveling upwards to reach the middle portion of the ship, was the crew's quarters, filled with hammocks that let some folks sleep in when at sea. The quarters even had a few ship cannons around, which just made the CMC know that this was a room where if one's not careful, they'll be blasted out by a cannon shot. After leaving that, the CMC arrived at the lower gun deck holding eighteen twelve-pound cannons. Sweetie Belle gulped in recalling that their cruise ship never had cannons aboard, but recalled seeing that the pirate's ship, the Black Pearl, had an upper deck with fourteen of these exact cannon types here. Trying to keep their wits about their situation, they had to leave here pronto, and continued down the hall.
"We've musta searched all around, and still don't finding ourselves a safe haven?" Apple Bloom spoke off that it musta been more then a few hours, and still, they are not getting anywhere here.
"There has gotta be like a life-boat onboard, but where is it?" Scootaloo spoke off in trying to see if they could find something to get off this strange boat?
"Dat's usually on the upper deck, which we ain't on?" Apple Bloom pointed out that they are below deck, not above deck.
"Then how do we get there then?" Scootaloo asked off in wondering how they can get up when they've already gone about searching to only know where most other places area..except for a way out of the ship's haul?
"Hey girls, looky over here!" Sweetie Belle called out to her friends in spotting something ahead; a stairway leading up where an opening showed light. "I can see daylight from that open hole there with the stairs leading to it?" The unicorn filly explained how what she's seeing could be their way out.
"Great work, Sweetie Belle!" Apple Bloom smiled to her friend, now they can leave this place.
"Yeah, that's our ticket to freedom!" Scootaloo cheered with her friend with a ego-expression to get this party started.
"Ready…set….go!" Sweetie Belle slowly spoke, as she and her friends were preparing themselves for a race off towards their way to the outside.
~ABOVE SHIP DECK~
Then the little fillies rushed up the step of stairs to reach the opening; only to get a surprise. On the very deck of the ship, were large numbers of pony sailors doing their duties of swabbing the deck, tightening the ropes, cleaning the cannons, and storing other things away. Only thing was, that these were not your typical sailing Marine ponies, but the opposite, they were….
"Gulp….Pirates!?" The Cutie Mark Crusaders responded with a heavy gulp of fear they swallowed down their throats. And then in a quicker then a flash, they zipped over to hid behind some box crates to be kept out of sight.
"Well it's official girls….we're not on our own ship…but a pirate ship?" Apple Bloom spoke out in fearing the worst has happened…they're on a pirate ship full of dangerous pirates.
"Who's idea was it again to hid in a barrel that the pirates would take aboard their ship?" Scootaloo made a stern face in looking at one member of their group in getting them into this mess to begin with.
"Sorry? I didn't think they take the one we were in?" Sweetie Belle made a sheepish apology for knowing she suggested they hid in the barrel, but didn't expect this outcome.
"Never mind dat, we have to find a boat, get off before they find us?" Apple Bloom turned to have her friends focus on the task of getting off the Black Pearl before they're discovered.
"Hey! Ye cheated!" The fillies almost yelped, as they peaked out from hiding to see…some pirates were in an argument.
"No I didn't? Ya just lost our little game is all?" The other pirate explained in showing their game of cards, which he held the winning pair.
"He's right, pay up the debt ye owe." The third pirate responded in agreement that it was a fair win from the game.
"Ah nuts?" The first pirate moans in disbelief before paying up what he owes for losing.
The pirates were still busy with their own thing while not noticing the three fillies sneaking pass them. The CMC noticed a lot of the pirates acting rather weird in their own way while some laugh, played, drank, but still mostly were working around their ship. It's really hard to say what anyone would make of these pony pirates were just regular sailors, but just dressed in a pirate fashion? But the little fillies didn't have time to second guess or wanting to risk themselves to learn more about these guys….or did they?
"Ooooh, them six ponies that fought us sure were somethin' else, a lads?" Spoke out an adult voice that was talking to a bigger crowd.
"Aye!" The other gathered pirates responded in agreeing to that subject, which also brought attention to three curious little fillies.
The CMC were like three cats that had their perky curiosity take over so much, that they hid behind some crates and barrels to see….the pirates different from the others; the Elite Ones. Those that were here like StoneGibbs, Lightning Flash, Wilson Ramon, Sharky & Bones, Roxas, Victor Krieg, & Khazim, plus Jack the Monkey. The others like CrisisCross, Professor Righteous, and even SparrowJack weren't present here. As the little fillies peeked and listen in, they heard some things?
"So what's this I hear some of ya were playin' silly games with a couple of mares?" Khazim smirked off to proclaimed in recalling their raiding the Voyager, and 'some' of these elites were having some 'fun' with some unique passengers?
"To put simply, 'most' of us were handlin' them, in our own way. Mine was a little distracted by myself." Wilson Ramon held up a hoof in wanting to be firm, but franked, in what happened for them, especially in his own encounter with Rarity.
"Probably cause of yer looks, that don't say, yer pirate material?" Mr. StoneGibbs pointed out with a sure-eye, that Wilson was a stallion, that many mares would fall for his gentlemen looks, and smooth talking that gets the guy out of any situation.
"Mine was a little challengin', she was fast like a rainbow, but not enough to catch this lightning bolt." Lightning Flash boosted off in recalling how his little match with Rainbow Dash, turn out to be….in his interest.
"Well mine was shy, so I didn't do much then have her corporate." Roxas rubbed the back of his head in admitting, when he meant Fluttershy, that pony was too frighten to wanna fight.
"It was a noble and honorable thing to do, if one hasn't the will to fight, then why start one." Victor Krieg had his front hooves cross to speak in terms of thought that Roxas performed admirably for the act.
"Aye, but there was one that had pure guts to stand against CrisisCross?" Sharky pointed out in recalling what him and Bones saw Applejack facing their cook with her big brother.
"And that pink one was playing games with us while our other mates dealt with them Mane Six?" Bones pointed out in how he and Skarky were trying to catch Pinkie Pie, as the others dealt with the pink one's friends.
"Mane Six? Where did that come from?" StoneGibbs asked off in never catching wind of such a name for a group?
"That's what the pink one said her friends challenging us proclaimed they were called." Bones spoke out in mentioning that Pinkie Pie just blurted that fact out in what the group was called.
"Aye, and their leader, apparently, Professor Righteous stopped her cold with a paralyzing potion, before she fought the captain." Skarky held his chin in recalling how the one called Twilight Sparkle, was stopped by their professor and then tussle with SparrowJack even?
"And she did that without firstly, knowing that he wasn't an Earth Pony." Lightning Flash smirked off to recall how funny it was that the little mare unicorn thought she had an advantage, but it backfired on her.
"And second, that he was a Pirate Overlord blew her mind away!" Khazim smiled proudly in recalling how stumped the ponies learn their captain was by no ordinary stallion, he has the title and skills that go above all else.
"In a way, our captain always did leave the mares stunt speechless." Wilson Ramon made a sly smile in making a casual comment about Captain SparrowJack and what happens with him and the mares.
"Hahahahaahh…./Eeek-Eek-Eek…." The group laughed off like that was the funny comment of a joke they ever heard, even Jack the Monkey was joining the exciting laugher fest.
"To true to that, gentlemen." The voice of Professor Righteous entered the spot when he spoke. He just got out from the cabin where the captain stays, still carrying his book in hand.
"Where have ye been?" Victor Krieg asked curiously in where this alicorn stallion has been since they left the Voyager.
"Deciphering the clue to our next adventure for SparrowJack, how else can we continue on from here?" Professor Righteous shrug off his hooves to make a clear point, in the work he was doing for them to understand at the moment.
"The captain has his magic compass to lead him to whatever his heart desires, I always believed that helped in settin' our course?" Roxas held his chin in recalling, that their captain has something of magic that helps one find what they desire most.
"Takes more then that, me matey? Takes the skill of a navigator to know how we'll need to sail through such treacherous waters." Mr. StoneGibbs proclaimed fourth that he himself, is a skilled navigator to help steer them in the courses for them to travel best by, or if it's the only route to take.
At the moment, the Cutie Mark Crusaders were hearing all of this and knew very much each detail that pointed to their friends and family members. They couldn't believe many things, from how the pirates here outmatched them, or about their captain is a Pirate OverLord to boot. But the one main attention was about a magic compass to help lead one to what they desire? If anything, maybe that particular item in question, is the key to getting off and finding their way back to the others.
"Are ye hearin' wha I'm hearin', girls?" Apple Bloom spoke quietly, so to not alert the pirates having their chatter of the fillies presence spying on them.
"Those guys took on Rainbow Dash and the others like nothing? Sure did." Scootaloo whispered off in what she heard in disbelief, as it was unbelievable to even think about.
"I know, but besides dat, it's dat compass thing?" Apple Bloom spoke quietly in trying to issue the item in question that seems to be about a magic compass of some sorts?
"The one to take you wherever you wanna go?" Sweetie Belle silently asked about in recalling that compass in question the pirates spoke of?
"What, think that could help us find where and how to get our Cutie Marks?" Scootaloo asked off in suddenly thinking this could be the fillies chance to get their own Cutie Marks and know what their special talent is.
"Well dat's an idea, but I was thinkin' under the lines of us escapin'?" Apple Bloom shrug off her shoulder in thinking that such a thing might be possible, but she was focusing on the idea to have the compass lead them off this ship.
"Oh, well…that works too, I guess?" Scootaloo slowly responded, a bit disappointed, but understandable.
"But they said it's with their captain, how are we suppose to get it from the one that's a Pirate OverLord?" Sweetie Belle asked with concerns that trying to get such an important magical item from the ship's captain wouldn't be as easy as it sounds.
"Um, give me time to think about dat for a minute? Um…?" Apple Bloom responded a bit hastily in looking worried, trying to think up a plan that would help them out.
"Hay mates! I got the meals ready!" Another voice entered the show, as it was CrisisCross coming over with a cart full of some tasty apple treats and meals he's prepared.
"Oh boy, I wonder wha's on the meal of today?" Bones clapped his hooves together in being all excited in what they're having to eat.
"I don't know Bones, but I sure could go for whatever our chef's got cooking?" Skarky responded off to his buddy while looking equally excited to be.
"Alright, alright, ya greedy hogs, settle down." CrisisCross held up his hooves in wanting the musician duo to calm down, as they and everyone here, will get a share. "First, reach me one of them crates so we can set up, I got a WHOLE Crew to feed to, plus the captain." He pointed to behind the group that if they wanna eat the meals, they gotta set up a table and some seats for them to enjoy their meals instead of standing up, right?
"Aye-Aye, Sir!" Skarky & Bones saluted in a goofy way before turning to follow the interacted orders.
The CMC yelped in seeing the two musicians heading over to them, so they had to quickly get away without so much noise. By the time Skarky and Bones took the crate boxes and barrels, nothing seem to be out of the ordinary of anyone hiding there? And so, the duo just came back after getting enough materials around to set up some for sitting and tables for setting things on.
"Alright, lets sit down and feast our day away!" Lightning Flash proclaimed before taking the first seat before a few others joined.
"BAM…./KAPOWFruvhmmm….." Suddenly, cannon fire was heard that some saw it was shot off and blew up a portion of some wooden empty boxes? Much of the other pirates saw the smoke, but followed to see that directly near some of the elite members; some cannons were roughy put of the ground near the table and seat for…Khazim?
"Blast it, Khazim! We told ya to 'Disarm' yer cannons before droppin' them on the ground? Ye know they could still fire off from a sudden trigger vibration." StoneGibbs snapped off to scold their Gunman for not carefully handling his cannons that could blow them up sky high.
"Sorry, sorry, I got too excited? My bad?" Khazim sheepishly said with a smile while rubbing the back of his head for this accident.
"I guess we should have expected this kind of event stunt to be seen?" Wilson Ramon signed in having to guess that Khazim would still forget such a thing, and something on the ship got blown up.
"Would it also be surprisin' to say that where that cannon blasted away…." Skarky suddenly spoke with a stump expression in seeing something where the cannon blast aimed at.
"Turn out to show from blasted rubble, to three fillies standin' nearby?" Bones confusedly pointed out something of such an occasion if that were the case?
"Where did that come from?" Roxas asked a bit puzzled in why the Musician Duo even say something very random at this time?
"Eeek-Eek-Eek!" Jack the Monkey spoke in making a scene to point at the rubble spot; that something was over there.
Soon it wasn't long before everyone on the Black Pearl turned to see what was going on, and what even had happened? Firstly, it was the cause of Khazim's cannon going off that destroyed some property on their ship, but that was far from their minds after seeing….the unexpected? For now appearing from the smoke cloud, were coughs, and then those coughs showed the Cutie Mark Crusaders out in the open center of attention. By the time the fillies could breath, they took notice of the situation; were they have been spotted from their hiding place?
"Oh hey, this isn't where we're suppose to meet our friends?" Apple Bloom spoke from suddenly showing a nervous expression that they have been discovered.
"We apologize for the misunderstanding, we musta got lost?" Sweetie Belle apologized in a sheepish advance for the misunderstanding of the situation here.
"So, we'll just go and…leave you to do your pirate thing? Bye!" Scootaloo went off to say with the most suspicious worried smile on her face while looking for an exit.
Then in a split second, the CMC soon turn around to fearfully begin running for their lives. But then without noticing, they bumped into more pirates.
"Hugh, what the?" Another pirate pony turned around to see that something bumped him from behind?
"What's this?" A second pirate asked off from looking behind his bud in what they got.
"Wee fillies?" A third pirate pondered off in recognizing what type of ponies they have here.
"'board our ship?" A fourth member of the pirates responded confused, what were fillies doing on the Black Pearl?
"RUUUUN!" The CMC screamed out before turning on their high hooves to begin another running to escape the scene. But little did they know or bother to check, they ran to get cornered by more of the pony pirates that popped around the ship. Now the chances of escaping without anypony noticing was gone down the drain. Heck, even trying to get the compass was far off the minds of the CMC?
"Well, what do we now?" Victor Krieg asked in being completely lost in what to do about fillies on their ship.
"Just calm them down, they're terrified?" Professor Righteous expressed his understanding, that the fillies must be afraid since they are pirates after all.
"Who's gonna tell the captain 'bout this?" CrisisCross asked in rubbing his noggin that somebody has to report the sudden stowaway situation to SparrowJack, but who's gonna do it?
"Tell me, 'wha', per-say?" Spoke a voice from behind the pirates having a discussion about the matter at hand.
This caused many of the pirates to suddenly turn to the direction of the voice that had entered. And entering in his usual swaggy and strange walking manner, was the serious, but not too serious, yet hard to figure out; SparrowJack. Or in this case, he prefers to be addressed as; Captain, SparrowJack. But as the stallion looked around, his crew seem to be blocking the fillies from sight while some showed sheepish, or concerning worried expressions; SparrowJack knew something was up.
"Alright gents, whats all the fuss 'bout?" SparrowJack asked off firstly in wanting to get to the bottom of the business here. "I was havin' me-self a nice quiet time enjoying me company in me cabin, and then after a 'boom', there's a ruckus?" He heard the noise form an explosion, and came to investigate…since it disturbed him so…?
"Aye, that be from me cannons, captain sir." Khazim rubbed his back neck in willingly saying that the loud 'BANG' noise was his fault.
"Oh course, it figures?" SparrowJack rolled his eyes with a huff tone voice in seeing the answer to the obvious trick question.
"Sir, appears we've gotten some stowaways 'board the Black Pearl?" StoneGibbs spoke out in approaching his captain in mentioning that they have some uninvited sailors aboard. "And it's worst then that, they be wee lasses…out at sea, 'board our ship?" He spoke out in feeling that the supernatural event of having a mare on their vessel, and at sea, might cause an incident.
"Mr. StoneGibbs, please, ye worry too much 'bout that superstition nonsense?" SparrowJack signed to shrug off in thinking his friend was being a bit too into his superstitious thoughts of the matter.
"Aye, but havin' a mare aboard, even if it be a filly, can cause trouble for a sailor?" StoneGibbs nods a bit, but still digress the matter of having such ponies, such as females, with them will do something for them.
"Relax StoneGibbs, we've heard you tell us this lots of times, but we're still standin'." Roxas spoke in wanting to help ease the tension that as of right now, nothing has happened when the little fillies were here.
"For now, but we must always be careful." StoneGibbs solidly spoke that they still must be on guard for any signs of trouble.
"Back to the discussion here, wha do we do with them?" Lightning Flash zipped near the group to remind them, of the little fillies they gotta still deal with.
That's when the other pirates allowed themselves to make room and space….in a line form to show SparrowJack's position with his close elite pals, to where the CMC are position with their nervous faces never withering.
"You're….not gonna tar and feather us?" Apple Bloom asked off with her shaking knees from feeling scared here.
"Or dip us in boiling oil? Gulp." Sweetie Belle asked off with a little gulp escaping her thought of that idea.
"Or feed us to sharks?" Scootaloo asked off in feeling worried that the worst is being feed to the fishes…scary ones.
"Glimmering Barnacles? Where did ye hear such rubbish we do things like that?" Skarky asked off in being completely surprised that some pony even suggest such terrible and horrible activities be performed.
"Aye, that sounds a bit rather nasty to me too? We don't do that, do we?" Bones nods in feeling puzzled and didn't think they as the crew of this Sparrow Crew, do such bad things now, right?
"Are ye daff, we have style and class from such brutality of pirate cruelty." Wilson Ramon protest off to say that even they are not below such standings to behave in such a way.
"Hugh?" The CMC responded now utterly confused, what was going on? Were they not gonna be given such treatments, or was there more horrible stuff then what they first thought?
"Ye youngins' been hearin' some terrible stuff about how pirates act, and that's why ye thought we do such things?" CrisisCross asked off in being curious if perhaps, these little fillies were cautious cause of the rumors they heard about pirates.
"Um…yes?" The Cutie Mark Crusaders slowly answered in responding to that question.
"Ook-Ook-Eek-Eek!" Jack the Monkey was leaping up across the ground to climb up to hold onto the mast in looking at the fillies in hearing what was spoken.
"Oh dear, and here I thought most of those old tales were buried in the past?" Professor Righteous slap his left hoof over his head in not believing that the old tales of piracy were still going around for only the brutal and wicked deeds. "But even today, even I must admit, there are some out there, that would do such acts…." He signed in realizing the truth of the matter, is that there are some pirates who do indeed, perform such task. "However, you should rest easy, we're not 'that' kinda crew of pirates?" He turned to the fillies to smile, stating that such a matter was not true within this crew.
"But still, you wee lasses will have to own up for this act of stowing on me Black Pearl." SparrowJack spoke in approaching the fillies that shared some nervous concerns of the captain. "Firstly, what are yer names?" He bends down a bit, put on a 'friendly' face in wanting to know, who the pirates had the honor of meeting?
"I'm…Apple Bloom?" The little Earth filly spoke first with a shaky bit of courage in her voice.
"And I'm….Sweetie Belle?" The little Unicorn filly spoke next while trying to hid her expression.
"My name is…Scootaloo?" The little Pegasus filly spoke lastly while trying to not be too scared.
"Tell us, how did ye get on in the first place?" Victor Krieg asked the big question in how three little fillies, managed to stowaway on a pirate ship during the raid on the cruise ship; Voyager?
"We hid in a barrel filled with apples during the raid?" Sweetie Belle spoke in explaining how such a thing even happened.
"Who failed to check our loots before taking it?" Mr. StoneGibbs turned with a stern look at the crew that someone or any of them, failed to make sure, they 'actually' got what they wanted, and not take something by mistake?
"Apparently, they all did?" Professor Righteous stated from noticing a lot of the crew's expressions, neither of them knew that fillies hid in a barrel filled with apples to begin with.
"We thought it was a good idea?" Scootaloo stated how their choice of hiding would go well, and be out when the raid was over with.
"Yeah, ye all were swiping my family's apples?" Apple Bloom spoke with looking a little bit serious in what the pirates did; taking her family's apples without pay.
"Hugh, apparently, ye must have missed seeing that, we left gems to pay for the expenses?" Wilson Ramon spoke with a raised eyebrow that the little filly doesn't know of the afterwork when they raided the Voyager, he payed off with some gems.
"Expenses?" The CMC responded a bit puzzled by such a use of the word, but did that mean….the stolen stuff was later payed for after being forcibly taken?
"That's how we do things, we take what we want." Skarky shrug off his shoulders in starting to say this first part.
"But also leave a little somethin' for the trouble." Bones ended up finishing the second part with a goofy smile on his face.
"It's our pirate way of livin' life." Roxas stated out on how they do things, is their own way of doing it as pirates.
"It's how we live with tradition, but with a twist." Lightning Flash made a smile in exclaiming how these pirates go with some tradition, but thrown in a few new surprise twist; which makes it interesting.
"Right, okay then, now I think we're gettin' somewhere, along with other matters?" SparrowJack held up his one hoof to get the others to let him speak, as it's already come to the last bit of work here. "Well lads, apparently, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo, have stowed away on our ship?" He brought back the subject that since the CMC have still boarded without their knowing, it's still the bigger matter at hand.
"Aye, so they did, and what would they have done if me cannon didn't expose them?" Khazim asked off in pondering the question, what would three fillies do if they were not found out?
"Um, we would left without ye knowin'?" Apple Bloom slowly spoke a bit concern in how to give a little bit of an answer in what they do, but not explain the rest.
"And just take a rowboat to get back to the others." Scootaloo spoke next with being careful in what to say, as to not anger these guys.
"Right after we needed to borrow your magic compass to lead our way, and maybe help us Cutie Mark Crusaders earn our Cutie Marks." Sweetie Belle blurted out the next thing to be done, which was taking something off the pirates.
"Sweetie Belle!?" The other two CMC members hushed their friend which made her yelp, but too late now.
"Eep!" Jack the Monkey yelped to point at the filly trio in what they've confessed.
"Oh-hoooo, now….?" SparrowJack spoke with pretend shock, yet a curiously interested sly expression on his face. "So lets get this straight?" He looks back to the CMC in about to make a few assumptions. "First: Ye board the Black Pearl, home to the Sparrow Pirates, feared across the Seven Seas?" The other pirates were nodding while making the fillies look more nervous by the crew's serious eyes. "Second: Ye wanna steal the magic compass I possess, to escape and fulfill yer search of yer talents in life?" The captain held up his hoof in stating the deed that 'would' have been commented, if the fillies weren't found out suddenly. "And Thirdly: Ya get caught, feed us yer tellin' of tale that ya comin' here was by accident, and now ye fear us pirates won't be so easy on ya, just cause yer fillies?" The stallion had finished stating all those facts that were very much, hard evidence in what's leading to the main event now. "Well, am I right?" SparrowJack raised an eyebrow in wondering to the little ones, if he was correct in his theory or not…which so obviously was to him.
"Gulp…." The CMC gulped a bit deeply in not liking the sounds of where their situation of trouble is heading for now.
"Boys, we better get ourselves ready, for tonight we…." There was a long pause for the drama moment, as SparrowJack said this…. "Welcome Aboard Our New Sailing Mates!" He waved out his hooves while smiling off in wanting to welcome the stowaways…as guest?
"AAAAYYEEeeeee….." The other pirates let off a wild cheer and jolly joy in hearing this announcement.
"Hugh…?" Now the CMC were left in the dark, a silent stage, and completely clueless? Were they just allowed to join a group of pirates and their adventures on the high sea?
"What, was it not to 'literal' to follow?" SparrowJack asked off with a playful smile in seeing them little faces show such big confusions.
"N..No, it's just…that under the circumstances?" Sweetie Belle slowly snapped out of her surprise state, and tried to speak about this situation with reason.
"You invite us like we're friends, but you barely know us?" Scootaloo pointed out in also coming to her sense in what these pirates are doing…is so unlike pirates?
"How can ye'll be so agreeable, and be so nice to us?" Apple Bloom spoke in being puzzled by the fact, these Sparrow Pirates, were not as bad as one would expect a pirate?
"Ha-Ha! It's cause we're the new Pirates of the Age, that's why!" Khazim laughed off all jolly-like, feeling proud of himself and that of others too.
"New Pirates of the Age?" The CMC repeated that sentence with much more confusion then before; what does that mean?
"It appears we'll have to explain the matter to them with more then words?" Professor Righteous rubbed his chin to ponder in thought, how to explain this situation to fillies.
"Then I better get started, I'll give them an answer in how we do things." Wilson Ramon stated in willing to be the one to help explain their pirate ways to the CMC here.
"Better let me take over, I can make somethin' sound excitin'!" Lighting Flash cut off his mate to proclaim with excitement, that he'll do the task instead.
"Nah, ye go off the topic by then?" CrisisCross waved off his hoof in seeing that pegasus will end up going off topic to be about him and his daring adventures.
"Well somepony better start explainin', we ain't gettin' younger?" Victor Krieg signed in feeling they've already started to go off topic in about explaining themselves to fillies aboard their ship.
"Does any buccaneer have an idea how to explain our situation to young fillies to which…they get the point?" Mr. StoneGibbs looked around with a stern face that 'somebody' or 'somepony', needs to be able to explain things for all to have a clear understanding.
"Me thinks me have an idea for the matter? How's 'bout we sing them a shanty instead?" Skarky held up one hoof in making a suggestion in what they can do for the little ones.
"What's a shanty?" The CMC asked confused by such a word they've never heard of until now?
"It's a method for wanting to sing a song? But we don't use that word much, so we just say sing us a song instead?" Bones happily explained that what they are thinking, is to explain things in song.
"That's a great idea. Knowing young colts and fillies, they must love a good song?" Roxas smiled to his friends that such an idea might just work out for the best.
"Especially whenever ye sing it, mate?" A random pirate pointed out that when Roxas sings, he does a fantastic job at it.
"Haaah-Harrr-arr-arrvhmm…" The other crew mates were laughing it up like a storm, but not in a teasing matter, more of a jolly matter actually?
"Oh go on, now?" Roxas smiled to almost be seen blushing by them jokers, almost that is.
"Right, that'll be just what we need to settle the mood?" SparrowJack nods with a smile while Jack the Monkey was seen climbing up his shoulder. "Skarky! Bones! Prepare to sing!" The captain turned to his two crew mates in wanting the two to sing for the little fillies.
"Aye-Aye!" The Musician Duo responded before suddenly out of nowhere, brought out instruments. Skarky held what was a green accordion with a yellow octagon on it's two sides with grey hold bars for the musician to stretch them in and out when playing them. Bones held a dorma with an orange rounded body and four yellow strings played with a mediator, the stick holder was brown color, so the musician can play the strings from top to bottom.
"To wha be the honor of a song we be singing, today?" Skarky asked off with a jolly smile in what they'll start singing today.
"We take any request, and can sing them a fine howdy-doo!" Bones proclaimed happily and simply stating a fact that was no lie.
"Lets start with the basics, boys?" SparrowJack stated off plainly from his simple meaning before looking to his crew. "I think since our newest mates just joined 'board, maybe it's time we show them our 'own' world of piratin'?" He requested that while they know who the Cutie Mark Crusaders are, their group and all, the fillies should know who the Sparrow Pirates are.
"You're own world of pirating?" Sweetie Belle asked off a bit with a questioned face in not getting that statement very much.
"That's right wee lass, have you lot ever fancy what it be, to be a pirate?" SparrowJack bended down to nod to the unicorn filly and her friends with a simple question.
"Well it sounded excitin', wha with de adventures, de thrills, and…" Apple Bloom slowly started to feel a bit alright in how she and her friends liked how Pirates have had some exciting adventures.
"Finding treasure, riches, discovering places nopony's ever seen?" Scootaloo also was starting to get really into the mood, even Sweetie Belle was feeling less scared then before.
"Then ya got the right spirit!" SparrowJack responded with a swing of his hoof and a 'go-getter' attitude in how the fillies are showing the right stuff. "So if ye wanna know about us and our world of doing it? Just listen and follow our intro song?" The captain stood up, walked away from the CMC, and lean his face enough to show a sly smile….before things were about to begin anew.
With that, now things begin to brighten up with pirates moving away, allow the spotlight to be on the Musician Duo; Skarky and Bones. As they sang while playing an instruct mental tune.
Skarky: We're Pirates, yes, that's true!
Bones: As true as the deep blue sea.
They tapped they hooves and grooved around to continue.
Skarky: But did you know?
Bones: No, I don't think I know?
Both Musicians: We're the New Pirates Of The Sea!
There was long pause with the two circling the other with their cheery faces. And then the screen widen to show the rest of the crew.
Crew: Sailing Here, Sailing Now!
We're Nothing But The BEST!
The crew held the other hoof to the other, as they proudly sang.
We've Travel All, Seen It All,
And Handle Things Much Worst!
The Roaring Seas, Beastly Things,
Like Never Done Before!
Many were acting out from looking around, to tussling against mighty creatures of the deep.
Through-N-Through, You know how!?
We're The New Pirates Of The Sea!
Now things were getting 'jiggy' when the crew split apart to allow us to focus on the musicians again.
"Ye know now, when we sing this story, we're gonna narrow down some names of our mates?" Skarky spoke off to the audience paying attention to the ones doing this. "Who they are, wha they're called, and the stuff they do on our pirate voyage." He explained that he and Bones are gonna narrate a bit about some of their crew mates.
"Oh boy, everybody will love to hear this little tune?" Bones happily cheered in liking the idea very much now. "But by the bay, who are we gonna introduce firstly here?" Bones asked off puzzled, as he doesn't know who they should do first?
"Why not start with ourselves, we're singing and playing instruments, aren't we?" Skarky shrug off his shoulders in giving out a simple answer.
"Oh right, gotcha there mate. Then what's stoppin' us from doin' so?" Bone smiled to wink back in hearing that idea, and liking it a lot.
With that, the two began to sing about themselves to the audience.
Skarky: We're Music Lovers, that we are!
Bones: Musicians, to be the point!
The two sang when looking from one to the other happily.
Skarky: My name, why I be Skarky here!
Bones: And I be Bones, to me bone!
Skarky pointed to himself happily, and Bones points to himself, but spoke with a silly and goofy manner.
Skarky: We keep our crew, livingly going!
Bones: With our Music to be pleased!
Skarky: We two be brothers in arms!
Bones: Aye, we're called The Musician Duo Brothers!
At this moment, the two got closer together under the spot light to sing this out in sync.
Together: Cause it's true, and we love to play our music,
All-For-One-Day-All!
Now things were rounding up again, as many of the pirates scattered around, dancing or playing their own instrument.
Crew: Singing Songs, All Day Long
We Do It, Without Delay!
The pirate crew proclaimed that they do indeed, do this kinda thing.
Be It Here, Sea Or Home,
Nothing We Can't Do?
We're Jolly Sailors, Sailing Around,
On Our Freedom Ship Of Dreams!
Much joy was going around that many saw happening, as if magic was sparkling in the air. And then a delay in the singing before this next phrase was familiar.
Through-N-Through, You know how!?
We're The New Pirates Of The Sea!
There was another pause moment to focus back on the playing musicians, as the CMC seem to show smiles in wondering, what would come next?
"Haha…well now that we've introduced ourselves, time to do the next mate?" Skarky laugh off all hardy like, preparing to move along.
"Aye, but which do we choose, there are so many of us?" Bones nods in reply, but wasn't sure which one they should do next?
"I got a fair idea, why not let our Navigator take the role?" Skarky spoke off with a good suggestion, in who they can talk about, or sing about.
"Right, he can lead us on charted maps, he can do the same in our song too?" Bones nods with a jolly face in thinking that idea be best to follow now.
Soon the two danced around, as we soon focus the spotlight right on StoneGibbs himself.
The duo: With us is our own specialist,
That navigates our way!
Skarky: Here now, is Mr. StoneGibbs.
Bones: The Sea-Side Navigator, that be him!
A brief pause went off before the music playing duo left, giving Mr. StoneGibbs the spotlight to…sing!
StoneGibbs: I've helped to course maps and charts,
Through the storms as the eye can see?
He pointed to himself in explaining the task that he himself does for the crew.
I love being a Pirate, who follows the Code of Brethern.
But through my superstitious self, some say I'm a skeptical fool?
They don't know supernaturals, unlike me and sea?
But I do have a hankering taste, for some fine Apple cider…please?
There was a brief pause when the guy took out a mug of filled apple cider to gobble down happily. And soon the crew was walking and dancing around before they took over.
Crew: Crossing over un-chart marks, and sailing treacherous waves?
Our nave is the...best at this, even when he drinks?
They explained from seeing StoneGibbs put his drink away to look over some maps.
But none of us can complain, we've also feel the same?
Finest Apple Cider Drinks, we drink them as they come!
Now the crew had drinks of apple cider drinks to lift them over their heads.
No matter where, no matter how, same for all of us?
When you're a…Pirate Mate, You quenching thirst will burst!
A pause happened when they drank their drinks, wiped their lips to say this forth.
Through-N-Through, You know how!?
We're The New Pirates Of The Sea!
Then another brief moment took place for the crew to scattered and left Skarky and Bones to take the spotlight center.
"Well now this is getting pretty good now?" Skarky spoke off in how they be doing things in their line of work.
"Aye, seems to be making an exciting scene?" Bones nods in agreement that things are getting exciting now.
"But we know an ace in our crew that be our young Helmsman?" Skarky spoke out in knowing someone more exciting to be heard of.
"Oh right, how could we forget that Ace in the Hole?" Bones spoke off in recalling their 'ace' player, that's something to be heard.
Now things began to turn when the duo soon danced with the spotlight shinning soon on…Lightning Flash, who looked raring to go.
The duo: Now with us is someone daring, as the eye can see...
Dare-devil extraordinary, as vast as vast can be?
Skarky: Right now, Lightning Flash
Bones: The Aerial Sea Ace, that he be!
A brief pause when the musicians danced off to allow their flier ace star to take over, as he sang next.
Lightning Flash: I seek adventure, far and wide
As vast, as the vastest sea!
He soon was zooming off, like a lightning flash all around while he sang.
With my speed, no one can compare
When it be Land, Air, or Sea!
I've faced danger, challenging myself, as the Helmsman that I am?
Reckless some say, even with my back turned to the enemy?
But you know what….
He stopped suddenly in front of the camera, smiled with a cocky grin to reply this...
That's just how I steer my ship, matey?
Another pause from the dare-devil zipping on off before the crew took the stage to dance around, especially the pegasus types while in the air.
Crew: Seeking Thrills, Chill and whats,
Adventure is is our key!
The men chanted off like it was a daily rhyme for them on holiday.
Passing Danger oversight, we're trenching our way through
Obstacles, we may face,...but that isn't our call
The pirates proclaimed forth while shaking their heads in what they are motioning towards.
For Pirates Rule, Aboard our Ship is to Face Such Danger…Ho!
Yo-Ho, Reckless Is Sailors Deed, To Test Our Limits Through!
The men were really jumping all around, letting out their excitement with some fights of hand-to-hand, sword fights, the whole lot. And then they paused off from this to break away.
Through-N-Through, You know how!?
We're The New Pirates Of The Sea!
There was a brief moment where the group scattered to let the musical duo take over again.
"Well now things are lookin' fine and dandy here?" Skarky proclaimed in seeing how well things are looking for them now.
"Aye, it's very much a pretty sight to be seen." Bones nods in seeing that everything was looking very fine indeed.
"And we got a fine gentleman 'board we can talk about?" Skarky pointed out another fact in who else they can chat for.
"Oh right, we do? I've completely forgotten?" Bones nods with a silly face, as that was someone, even he let slip his mind.
Things once again turned with the duo, as they danced around the next pirate…Wilson Ramon.
Duo: Here is someone you won't find?
He's classy as can be?
Skarky: He be Wilson Ramon, sure be him?
Bones: The Gentleman Of Value & Vanity, indeed!
A brief pause before the musicians left to allow Wilson to fix himself to be present…and then he sang.
Wilson: I may seem wealthy, indeed that's very true
Valuable Profits, glimmering treasures, I've seen such marvels at sea!
He proclaimed off hand that he was such a character, and he's seen valuables even at sea.
But I'm also a being of fashion and sense, my style is but perfect…to me
I've style swordplay, but not in a barbaric way, of which can't be compared.
As the gent explained himself, he held up his blade to present it while…looking good in both figure and form.
While being a gentlemen, I use tactics as my key,
And when in doubt, my words come out…to leave my foes confused and on their knees?
Wilson leans on his weapon to proclaim the manner of his ways that will get his opponents overtime.
I've handled collection, stocks and tax…payment fee is my best
Who else do you think pays, for our lack of mischievous acts?
There was a long pause with laughter when Wilson magically made gems appear for the crew to collect.
Crew: Treasures are fancy things, we collect and pay!
We sail around, searching fame and booty at the sea!
The crew chanted off while some dance and others collected the gems on the ground.
We board vessels, full of treasure, be it silver and gold
Food and drinks, and other things…are treasure for all to share!
Now the crew was seen hauling barrels and chest, filled with sparkly items of value while others were of meals for the mouth.
We raid and plunder, that we do, but don't get us wrong there?
For afterwards, we return the pay, no more harm done now?
The crew shook their heads about not thinking they are bad, as they showed the gems in hand, and left with cheery faces. There was a long pause, especially when the CMC saw this act as…nice?
Through-N-Through, You know how!?
We're The New Pirates Of The Sea!
A brief pause took over before the focus went back to Skarky and Bones doing their thing.
"Boy this song is makin' me hungry?" Skarky rubbed his belly in feeling it be near meal time now?
"I know the feelin', did we even ate?" Bones nods in feeling famish himself, they need a bit or something?
"Then lets talk 'bout our favorite chef!" Skarky spoke forth an idea that brought a smile to his face.
"Oh goody, maybe we'll get our meal to go?" Bones happily proclaimed in knowing what they can do next here.
Things were turning again, as the duo were seen playing and dancing near a cooking pot being done by…CrisisCross.
Duo: Now here's a chef that's really good
As far as his cooking can be!?
Skarky: Our buddy CrisisCross, is our head chef aboard
Bones: Aye, he's known to be the Iron Cross-Chef, even today
A brief pause happened when the duo musicians left, CrisisCross sipped his spoon from the pot, tasted it, then looked to the crowd…and sang.
CrisisCross: I maybe slow and nimble, but I still serve meals freshly cooked
My meals can feed us all till the sea-cows come home!
He chef explained himself with his made soup that was before pouring it out in bowls.
I add the right seasonings, to bring out the flavor of others,
Be it friend or foe, my meals will surely help.
He exclaimed that part brilliantly in what his food can do for anyone.
And if food is the key, then you have nothing to fear
For ingredients can be used to stop our enemies, besides chowing them down.
He pointed out to say with pride, and whispered that last part with a sly smile.
But one thing I'll not forgive, is seeing things go to waste
So keep in mind, and don't badmouth it….by showing respect for the things you eat!
There was a pause from what was an angry look before CrisisCross settled down, and soon the scene shows his meals, served out for the crew.
Crew: When sailing through open waters, we need our strength refueled,
And with the meals and drinks we take, we're fit as fit can be!
The crew cheered from lifting their bowls and mugs to gobble it all down happily.
We eat hardy, and drink real hardy, whenever the day
Cause everyday, we are sure, it's a festival out a sea!
The crew was shown to be waving their hooves happily in almost like they are jolly and partying real hardy now.
When out at sea, catch our meals, be it ship or wave
And when the meal, is all prepared, we party and we sing
The pirates exclaimed how they do things, even when on land or sea, they live life all good and fun, without bother or pain. A pause came up before the pirates then made this next say.
Through-N-Through, You know how!?
We're The New Pirates Of The Sea!
Soon a pause happened from mugs smacked into each other before Skarky and Bones took the stage from finishing their mugs and meals off.
"I'm tellin' ya Bones, we're getting lots of mates on the spot." Skarky pointed out in seeing what they got going here.
"Aye, that we are, but we're still missin' some?" Bones nods to say, and looks puzzled in seeing more then a few.
"Then what say we tell of our special 'Key' mate in our crew!" Skarky gave a secret wink to his partner in what he means there.
"Oh boy, when he sings, he'll sing good as ye and me?" Bones wide-eye in understanding that signal, and agreed to it at best.
"YEAaahhhh!" Much of the crew made a loud cheer before the musicians circled around their next friend…Roxas.
Duo: Next is a sailor with a great voice to be heard
Caring to us and creatures too, be it friend or foe.
Skarky: The youngster Roxas, be he!
Bones: The Fated Destiny's Key, that's right!
The moment turned out to focus on the young flier when the musicians left, as Roxas spread his wings, flew up…and sang like no tomorrow.
Roxas: Through the soaring skies, I'm as gentle as a breeze
While everyone is impulsive, I'm sorta…less by means?
He sang with such a touching voice, none could ever feel negative about it.
As far as I am wide, I'm more a lover then a fighter
But there are times, where I fall in, to fight when enraged?
He spoke from resting his hooves to his chest, feeling that even he, a being of peace, will fight when it comes.
When I'm as close to friends, I'm at my happiest of times
From being filled…with the pirate life-stye adventuring
He soar higher in the air, waving out his hooves in feeling so filled with happiness inside.
And while I'm kind and friendly, to creatures of all kind
I'm skilled in a mystery, which is sealed…with a Key
There was a pause when he landed on the deck, as the crew were dancing and cheering with praising cheers.
Crew: We each share a destiny, and that is at sea
The ringing of; the decker bell, is the key to our gathering.
The pirate crew proclaimed in what they can say is their destiny, and even that for their calling.
No matter where, no matter far, we stick with who we are
As sailors, as pirates, that is who we are!
They each looked to the other, raised a hoof to give a slap to the buddy in being happiest of being themselves.
Hands of fate, turn our lives and we make them as we please
So by our end, we are pleased, with the choices we have made
The crew were gathering around in marching off with this next stuff to say after a slow pause moment.
Through-N-Through, You know how!?
We're The New Pirates Of The Sea!
A brief pause took over where Skarky and Bones were on cue for the moment here.
"We're gettin' lots of bangers here, Bones?" Skarky stated to his pal in how much they've gotten done now.
"Aye, but me thinks that bangin' is remindin' me of somethin'?" Bones nods while he rubs his head, thinking about something?
"More like someone, who is an Artisan in our group." Skarky proclaimed off in mentioning someone they have that's related to 'banging'.
"Oh right, maybe we'll give him a shot now." Bones nods with a smile, knowing who's to come next here.
Now the situation turned for the duo to dance forth to be around near…Victor Krieg.
Duo: Now comes a sailor that's crafty with his crafts
Making weapons for us to use, is a pirate's way to fight
Skarky: The wise and honorable, Victor Krieg
Bones: The Blacksmith Of War, lookout now.
The turning moment focused when the musicians left, leaving the honorable and proud Victor…to sing his own song version.
Victor: As I stand, I don't say much, but that's who I am
I remain dignified of few words, and very proud of my work
He proclaimed himself in who he be while wielding such heavy weaponry in a barrel.
As a blacksmith, I pride myself in making the best of the best
I forge things with my strength, and have used for sailors use!
He dumped the barrel to show the stuff of his latest work for all to see.
But one thing that I can't handle, is my often reaction to insults
From small insincere or offensive gestures, I take those very seriously!
Victor exclaimed from looking like he get mad at a second sooner if one were to make even a tiny teasy remark.
Be from a buddy or an enemy, be wary of what you say
For being short-tempered, my enemies beware of my unbeatable strength!
There was a pause after Victor smacked his hooves together while many of the pirates grabbed his forge stuff to wield.
Crew: When sailing, be on scoot, for anything that's strange
Danger lurks all around, so we keep ourselves on high!
The crew issued forth while welding around their mighty cutlass, pistols and spears.
Cutlass, we shall cut with, and pistols to shot off
Suits or armor, just the defense, and cannons balls for offense!
Even some came out wearing armor while others 'heave-ho' on lifting to carry cannonball loads.
Forging weapons for our ship, to handle harsh terrains
Be it mountains, or large beast, we'll blast them all away!
The crew finished putting their cannonballs in their cannons, polished them and ready to go for any danger around. A moments pause took in effect, before we began the next step.
Through-N-Through, You know how!?
We're The New Pirates Of The Sea!
A brief pause changed around to focus on Skarky and Bones after that little number was done.
"Boy, we sure are smart, aren't we now Bones?" Skarky pointed that out to his partner in their IQ level.
"Aye, but is there anyone smarter among us?" Bones nods before asking a puzzled question at the moment?
"Of course there be, we have our professor, don't we?" Skarky nods in stating that they got a smart guy aboard with them.
"Ah that's right, with his keen mind, he helps out in any event?" Bones happily and cheerily nods in agreement, how did that part slip?
Soon things went for the duo to dance before the spotlight focused on someone doing an experiment…Professor Righteous.
Duo: Here we have a mind that's sharp
As the sharpest tool around
Skarky: Meet our pal, Professor Righteous
Bones: The Scholar Of The Seas, he's smart to be!
The focus moment shifted from the musicians to the professor, as he just made a mix potion batch, as it fizzled…he began to sing with reasonable knowledge.
Professor: My background is as it stands, a professor of high degree
I'm a social type, from a high class society, with mannerism…you see?
He spoke profoundly in explaining what he himself is, as such, well socialized.
My hobbies are simply put, using herbs from gardens for medicine works
To help me out, and help my friends, whatever…ails them?
He speaks from wanting to use his knowledge of plant life, to make better use of curing those sick.
I'm very much, a doctor and a scientist, who studies the unknown?
But as such, I prefer my work by aiding pirates and their living freedom style.
Even as he pointed his left hoof to his chest, explaining that he prefers the free-pirate life's 'freedom' call out of anything else.
While I seem like I'm not meant to be here, that isn't the case at all?
As an Alicorn, I make my choices…in what I want to do?
Now things really stirred up from when he flew and vanished by his magic, as everyone else was partying off.
Crew: He be smart, that he be, and that's our doc for ya!
He fixes us, good as new, and no one can complain!
As the crew chanted this, the professor was using his potions to help the pirates that are mostly hurt…feel better.
Weather be studying, or harvesting his crops
He'll mix a batch, that can do just that, and take you by surprise!
As the crew sang, magic helped to harvest the crops and hover books over to the alicorn guy nearby; studying them.
Reading books, potion works, he'll make something new
And when he fights, he'll lash it out, like a sailor in his book!
The crew pooped from behind in stating how well Professor Righteous can even fight on a good term when in need.
Be he high, be him low, the classes never mind
All of us, are one class here, and that's the Pirate's way of life!
The crew was really getting into things, as many were shown happily accepting that nobody's below or above the other. After this brief moment, the group had begun this familiar chant.
Through-N-Through, You know how!?
We're The New Pirates Of The Sea!
A brief pause was the next thing to happen before Skarky and Bones were dancing on the set again.
"I believe we're comin' to an explosive work here, Bones?" Skarky spoke forth in how close they be wrapping this gig up.
"Aye, that we be, and no cannons have been lit neither?" Bones nods to thinking they're almost done, and nothing fired off yet?
"Speakin' of cannons, time for our Gunner up today?" Skarky pointed forth in thinking, it's time for the next crew mate to be seen.
"Oh, I see what ya mean, gun up our gunner, that's the way!" Bones nods with please, as he made a funny joke that was good for him to hear.
Now the situation turns for the musicians to focus on one near loads of cannons and cannonballs…Khazim.
Duo: Now here he be, our top-notch gunner
The cannon-blowing guy!
Skarky: He's shooting off; Khazim he be!
Bones: Our Big Cannon Arms, that he be!
Now we focus on Khazim when the musicians split the scene quick as paste, as the guy left smiled brightly…as he prepared to sing…WITH A BANG!
Khazim: I take much pride here and there, and do it with much work
Be my strength, or me cannonballs, I'll blow them away!
"BOOMvhmmm…" The guy aimed his cannons off with a smile before letting one rip…off into the ocean sea.
I'm dedicated gunner, that be my place
And keeping my body in well shape, to lift them heavy cannons all day!
We see the guy working out in lifting heavy cannonballs and cannons, like they are no big deal to him.
I'm fun in wanting to showy off my stuff, as a gunner aboard our ship
Even with a big obstacle, I'll BLAST our way through! HA!
"BOOmvhmmm…" And once again with a mighty laugh, he fires off another cannon in being extremely joyful.
But don't let my trigger blowing side fool any, for there's one more thing about me
I hire other gunners faithful to me, and carry out orders to the letter! 'C'!
A pause from his own group of gunners almost dressed in his style appeared, and helping to get more cannons set up…and then sing.
Crew: He be proud, you know how, and that shows us why
Gunners come, blast away, be it ship or foe!
The crew's gunners sang forth in preparing their cannons with much effort and joy.
We be pirates, sailing off, with guns in our mist
But only when the danger comes, do we blow our tops away!
The crew sang in positioning the cannons by the sides of their ship, ready to go at the word.
We have fun, we let loose, we make lots of noise
Whenever you hear; Boom-Boom-Bam, we're celebrating our time!
On the loud noises, cannons were fired while one blew up a rocky island off the side. As the water came pouring down, much of the crew paused for a brief time before…doing this.
Through-N-Through, You know how!?
We're The New Pirates Of The Sea!
A brief pause took over where Skarky and Bones were getting down with things more so then ever usual now; this one most be big.
"Well don't that be, think we got them all?" Skarky spoke off in thinking they musta got everyone on the ship by now?
"I'm not sure, did we miss any at all?" Bones shrug off to say, unsure if they miss any with a crew of this large size?
"Oh me, oh my, I think we did! The best for last!?" Skarky spoke off surprised in just remembering, they haven't done the last guest here.
"Of course, where would we be, without our captain's aid?" Bones nods with a silly smile in remembering…they didn't introduced their captain yet?
Now the music was really picking up speed, as the musicians danced for a hidden figure behind the spotlight.
Duo: Now here we have the best of best
Our captain of our ship?
Skarky: Here he be, Captain SparrowJack
Bones: The Pirate PonyLord, we greet!
The focus now shifts from when the duo left, out on the spotlight made more wild cheers; SparrowJack entered the stage…as he begins to sing now.
SparrowJack: I'm captain of this mighty crew, and a Pirate Lord at that!
When it comes to sailing, I have nothing to complain, that sailing freely, is freedom to me!
He spoke off with his strange sentence patterns, and stagger moves, but he smiled off while explaining his tale.
My usual demeanor, some say I'm slightly drunken, with stagger and wild manner,
Flailing arm gestures that makes me look unfocused, and possibly…ataxic?
He continued to move around in such a strange way, but he didn't look trouble or ill?
But I can be serious, even while seemingly-perpetual, in drunkenness...with my slurry speeches?
While I maybe built, I rely on nothing less, then intelligence, agility, and quick wit to save my hid?
He points out the many things he can do, the stuff that makes him capable, be it words or other means.
I'll outmaneuver my foes with nothing but words & tricks, to serve my purpose, but I'm still a being of my word,
But I'm still a force that's formidable, decent….if not self-serving, to the Pirate Code.
SparrowJack declared off his manner of speaking with such a high-pride of his smile.
A pause came from when the scene shows much of the pirate crew coming around their captain to join the fun.
Crew: He be captain of the best, our PirateLord is he!
No matter where, no matter how, he always stands real tall!
Ever lasting, ever quick, he's clever then the rest
As the crew moved around, SparrowJack came marching in the middle to get some attention.
SparrowJack: But one thing I'll also point off to say when addressing me, is this…
A dramatic pause made everyone freeze, as they turn to see..what this guy would say.
"It's Captain SparrowJack, remember that mate?" SparrowJack slowly proclaimed his manner in how he be introduced as, as always.
"Hahahahah…." The crew laughs in joy that their captain always wants that most of all, title addressed manner of being captain.
Crew: Heard him here, heard him now, so now you know it too!
Captain SparrowJack is he, the captain that we praise!
Now a longer break was done with the entire crew laughing, playing, waving their mugs and meals, having fun no less. And even more surprising, was how the Cutie Mark Crusaders were feeling less threaten by the pirates, and more…on good friend terms with them.
"Ye know, for a bunch of pirates, they ain't half bad?" Apple Bloom spoke off with a positive outlook on their situation now.
"Yeah, in a way, they are kinda fun, and funny to not be so scary?" Sweetie Belle nods in at first, being nervous with pirates, but not these guys.
"Hay girls, what if….what we seek, is to be with these guys?" Scootaloo brought her friends together to say something that caught their attention.
"Well it certainly sounds like we find our Cutie Marks?" Apple Bloom nods in second opinion, maybe being with pirates, they can earn Pirate Cutie Marks?
"And when we do, we can show everypony them?" Sweetie Belle cheered for hopeful joy that if that dream comes true, they won't be blank flanks neither.
"Then what say we join the fun, let's say 'yeah' if so?" Scootaloo spoke off that whoever agrees, can give a shout out as a sign.
"YEaaah!" The CMC cheered in all agreement there, it was unanimous, the 'Ayes' have it.
"Alright Skarky, Bones, time to wrap up this gig!" SparrowJack signaled his duo musicians to wrap up this gig of theres.
Now the instrument beat picked up more, as everyone started to pitch in together for this bit.
Crew: Here we be, sailing mates, out in the open sea!
SparrowJack: And while we have more mates, to tell…
There was a brief pause for the captain to say something, but…
"Sorry, can't be done?" SparrowJack shrug off to say that they can't mention off all the crew's mates, it be long and boring by then…?
"Awwww…." Some of the crew pouted in feeling like they aren't important until….
"But that don't matter, I find each of them as proud a pirate sailor as I!" SparrowJack proudly declared that even so, he has respect for every crew mate aboard his ship, nameless or otherwise.
"YEAAAAAahhh!" The crew cheered in feeling rejoice to hear that news from their captain.
The song continued, and this time, the CMC were joining up in the fun.
Apple Bloom: Boy this crew sure is fun, and dat be de honest truth!
Scootaloo: We should think about this, see if this was a calling, to what we can be?
Sweetie Belle: To be sailing Pirates, out at sea, of goody, is that our Cutie Mark to be?
Then without a warning, the captain leans down to the fillies happy conversation in how being here, might be the thing for them to truly do.
SparrowJack: Why not join our fun, and see if it be?
CMC: YAAAAH!
The fillies cheered with smiles in liking that idea…a lot.
SparrowJack: Live for the adventure, live for the Romance, and live to see the day spent?
You be one of us, be sailor or critter
Or especially little Jack the Monkey, our Wild Primate of the sea!
He held up his left shoulder where Jack the Monkey was located, with this to simply say...
Jack: Eek-Eek!
Crew: YEEEEAAAaaah!
The other pirates cheered off with this with more delight then before.
The Pirates & CMC: Now's the time to show our way, and casting off we go
For sailing the wind beneath our faces, is the sailors way to go!
They lean off the front of the ship, as they smiled to feel the fresh wind blow against their faces.
Be we young, be us old, you're never to old to try?
We follow our dream, of freedom's call, as that's the call from the sea!
The group looked around, many members of different ages are together, and they all cry for 'freedom' out at sea.
Seeking fame, seeking thrills, adventure be our day!
Live it through, build our selves, we know just what to do!
The group all sang forth in feeling real good about themselves here and now. The scene zooms a bit while slowly pausing for this next part to be said.
Through-N-Through, You know how!?
We're The New Pirates Of The Sea!
The crew and CMC chanted forth while we see the Black Pearl's side sailing on.
Through-N-Through, You know how!?
We're The New Pirates Of The Sea!
We heard that same phrase again, as the screen turns our focus to more of just the ship then the crew over the front side?
We're The New Pirates Of The Sea!
The scene was now focusing from the side, to seeing the ship sail off with the back to our view.
We're The New…Pirates…Of The Sea….!
The singers were slowly singing this off with a long stretch. It was going on with the Black Pearl sailing off to unknown borders of the sea, just before this happened….
YO-HO!
That last part was sang extra loud and extra cheery by the Sparrow Pirates and the joined CMC.
Soon the screen goes black just as the song finally finished around that point. Looks like the CMC are gonna be with the pirates much longer then anyone or anypony predicted? As for what adventures will await them in the high-seas…is a mystery?
VISION NOTE: The song heard is a bit of a mix of my own creation. Think of it as one of those jolly types of partying, welcoming, and introducing one's self to be apart of the crew.
Wow, what a sailor's view of VISION we saw happen here? And don't threat, matey, the VISION-KING still have other tricks up his sleeve. For in the next adventure to be told, the Mane Six from the Voyager port at some area while the ship gets repaired, the mares need to plan their rescue, and it looks like they'll be on their own quest to fix a busted boat to be ship-shape. Meanwhile, we'll IN-VISION of what surprise feats the Sparrow Pirates have done in their pillaging the Voyager to obtain something that will lead them….to four keys that are the key to acquiring…a triton? What mysterious be lay about, what sorta treasures lie beyond the waters, and what sorta evil lurks below. That's right, there be something fishy about to play out, but that case is shrouded…in mystery? So until that time comes around, kick back & enjoy what is here, my pirate loving friends, and we'll chart the next adventure when it be ready…Argh…
