Chapter 10: Retrieving The Keys

Far Off Somewhere At Sea?

The scene enters where it's already getting closer to sunset, as the Black Pearl was seen sailing across the open waters and away the last island of where problems arose; such as when a sea-witch of unknown moments came, stole Sweetie Belle's voice, and competition rob the group of three Serpent Keys. At the very moment within the captain's quarters, we find SparrowJack, Professor Righteous along with Twilight, Spike & Rarity with Sweetie Belle in the center of attention who was sitting in a comfy chair. It has already been hours where Twilight and the professor has been working to help the poor filly in getting the voice she lost back, but so far…not much luck.

"Oh professor, tell me you can help poor Sweetie Belle get well again?" Rarity begged out in wanting her little sister to get her voice back, she's not the same without it.

"I'm running as much test as I can, but the data results do not lie." Professor Righteous explained the case of how he's handling this even as he speaks. "Her vocal cords are magically zapped, no sound will ever come out of her voice." He shook his head from magically opening Sweetie Belle's mouth, peaked inside with a magic magnifier to study the problem deep inside.

"Oh my goodness…that is THE…WORSE….THING….EVER!" Rarity dramatically expressed herself in what she has heard.

"Calm down Rarity, I'm sure they can fix this?" Spike came over to pat Rarity's back to calm the girl. "Um, can't you?" He asked in being unsure if they can help fix this problem.

"I'm not sure Spike, we're trying to figure out a way to help Sweetie Belle get her voice back, but it's tricky?" Twilight stated in concerns, they've been researching books and studying what illness the filly has, but they are nowhere close rot having an answer.

Soon the moment came where the two smart ponies were mixing some scientific stuff together to create some new potions before preparing to see if the alchemy stuff could be the key.

"Poof!" Then from a poof of a magic potion, the filly came out, as she clear her voice before she spoke. "EEEK_HOOOOONK!" Sweetie Belle ended up covering her mouth in shock, she sounded like a donkey?

"AHhhoooohhhh?" Rarity fainted from hearing her sweet little sister even sound like that then of her own voice.

"Right, too much donkey there, mate?" SparrowJack pointed out in seeing that was a failed attempt, time they try another potion batch.

"Poof!" Soon another potion made a poof appearance around Sweetie Belle, as many saw her coughing before almost sounding like she could speak.

"Well, how it go? Do you feel okay now?" Spike asked nearby if maybe the filly has her voice now, but….

"Okay…OKAY! Does it LOOK like I'm OKAY!" Sweetie Belle was shouting off while acting like a rough, tough, muscle man's voice while getting it up at Spike with a major attitude. (Note: Think like Mr. T)

"Ahhhh….?" Rarity fainted again after getting up, that voice was even MORE shocking then the donkey one.

"To much mucho-man, an that just ain't right fer a wee lass?" SparrowJack pointed out again in seeing that was just something they rather not give the poor kid.

"Poof!/Poof!/Poof!" It wasn't long before much of the potions that were made were going through like wildfire, each one giving an animal, or object sound work, or different pony of age sound before we reach the final end. But Sweetie Belle couldn't get anything out from when they were done, and just sign in silent sorrow of once again….being mute.

"I'm afraid the test prove my theory to be correct. The spell that done this is a powerful type, we can't just magically replace her voice either, and so the only fallout…is that we must retrieve her stolen voice." Professor Righteous explained with a serious face that the only true cure for a lost voice by such unusual magic performance, is to retrieve the filly's voice from whoever has it.

"Oh dear Sweetie Belle, what would I do if not to hear your lovely voice again?" Rarity spoke to hug her sister in feeling tram overtaking her if Sweetie Belle can no longer speak or sing.

Sweetie Belle gave a little smile to return the hug, she might not say anything, but she can still show it.

"Captain!" Suddenly without warning, Mr. StoneGibbs burst into the quarters to interrupt the moment with some news.

"Mr. StoneGibbs, wha news ye bring me?" SparrowJack asked off in what the fuss was all about here.

"Roxas has the North Serpent Key, it be glowing' brightest then ever the eye see." StoneGibbs explained the matter to which stated the tracking spell the captain put on the only key they got to find the stolen three keys. "It be a sign, that we found them no good scalleywags that ran off with our booty!" Mr. StoneGibbs explained the case that they are nearing the ones that rob them after the trouble of getting the last Serpent Key.

"Right, I'll meet ya out there & discuss our battle plan." SparrowJack nods off to say this after taking in all that info.

"Captain, do you think whoever has the keys, we'll find Sweetie Belle's voice?" Twilight looked from her group of friends in looking concern if there was hope for one of them now.

"Can't make no promises, but we'll try lass." SparrowJack shook his head off in not really having an answer to that question; they can only true to hope for the best.

Now the captain heads out with Professor Righteous getting ready to head out after him. Rarity, Spike & Sweetie Belle watch Twilight's actions from thinking about what was said, before signing to give a head signal for them to go to. As they all prepare to go out and hope they are closing in on their target.


On The Deck Of The Black Pearl

The scene opens towards where the Sparrow Pirate's ship was sailing in the depth of night, justing spotting something near a foggy mist. It had the appearance of a medium battle flagship with dark shade blue coloring, some black lining and it was armored around with heavy cannons, and from it's metal form look more like a mobile fort at sea. And while the sides had some magically black energize wings used as oars to move such a heavy looking ship, on the sails were some strange 'K' & 'C' in red bold coloring. No mistake about it, whatever the vessel was or why it was here, the Sparrow Pirates needed one reason to go near it…their Serpent Key glows brightest when we wanna get closer.

"That must be where the other keys are kept?" Roxas stated from how he's using the North Serpent Key that glowed bright in pointing to the strange ship ahead; that must be where the other three keys are stash away.

"Clever, but not so clever in stealin' from pirates." Lightning Flash stated off in remotely stating the fact here.

"Aye, that thief will rue the day he stole what we risk our lives ta get!" CrisisCross nods in agreement in seeing that whoever rob them will pay dearly.

"Yep, those keys were no easy baubles to get?" Sharky nods in stating how hard it was to just get three of those keys.

"Aye, they were more trickery then a trickster's magic act." Bones nods in stating an agreeable fact on the subject.

"So is that where the thief took the keys?" Scootlaoo asked off in wondering the answer to the question.

"As well as Sweetie Belle's voice towards?" Apple Bloom also asked a question in being concern for her freind.

"Aye, that ship be very suspicious, it aint Marine or Navy, not even a patrol of the Royal Guard?" Victor Krieg nods with a stern expression filled with suspicion over this issue.

"Aye, and it seem like it does more sailin' in nighttime then of daytime?" Khazim nods in finding this enemy vessel strange, it looks more likely to conceal it's self in dark and then attack without warning.

Soon SparrowJack was coming out to join the rest of the crew and the Mane Six & CMC members with the professor, Twilight, Rarity, Spike and the mute Sweetie Belle in what was going on.

"Captain, ye wanna look at this?" Wilson Ramon spoke off to hand his captain his telescope in needing to see this. "That flag, it's of the Katall Clan insignia?" He spoke with a serious expression in knowing what their enemy now is.

As SparrowJack looked through his telescope, he saw the red bold lettering of 'K' & 'C' coming to be together. That was something that surprised everyone in just hearing the name.

"Well blow me down, so that explains how we've been breached; our adversary was none other then….Shiv Katall." SparrowJack responded surprise in seeing and knowing who they are, at least from one opponent in particular.

Much of the crew mates muffled in hearing the name Shiv Katall. Just hearing this and knowing that the guy was the thief that stole their three keys without alerting them, it all makes sense. Of course, there were some non-sea adventurers aboard that don't know these things.

"Wait, you said his name was…Shiv Katall?" Rainbow Dash asked off in trying to get the memo of what's going on here.

"Wha in Sam Hill is dat critter all about?" Applejack asked off in not knowing who such a creature, pony or otherwise.

"Shiv Katall is an infamous bounty hunter, they say he's so good, that his pay roll is very expensive." SparrowJack issued off in explaining the subject of what Shiv Katall is, a skilled bounty hunter. "If ya want him to hunt down something, or catch someone, he's the masked stallion ye rather not wanna meet on his job pursuit; especially if the target, is yer self." The captain explained the point of just who is Shiv Katall, and he doesn't sound too friendly.

"Oh dear, he sounds scary?" Fluttershy yelps a bit meek in hearing the name of such a terrible sounding person.

"Is there anything else about him we don't know?" Pinkie Pie asked off a good question of not knowing much of Shiv Katall.

"Well lasses, if ye wanna know, ye best get ready fer the tale." Mr. StoneGibbs spoke off with a serious expression, this tale of a stallion, is something unlike many.

At this moment, the Musician Brothers were preparing a special song they dubbed 'Shiv Katall', as they slowly begin to tell the tale while an audience watches them dance and play their instruments.

Sharky: If ye be on the wanted board

Bones: Ye best keep ye distance now

Musician Brothers: Cause there's a bounty hunter nearby

Who we know him ta be…Shiv Katall!

There was a pause as many of the crew did some 'woo-woo-woo' motion stuff while flyers of many pirates on wanted posters with 'X' marks show they were caught by the said bounty hunter.

Sharky: They say he's a tough stallion, who gets the job done

Bones: I heard he caught escapees, from evil pirate crew

Musician Dou: Ye be best ta keep a distance

Unless you wanna get caught…by Shiv Katall!

Another pause moment from when the musicians sang this while looking worrisome as everyone saw this.

Sharky: He's so skilled, ye almost never seen?

Bones: But when ye do, it's over fer ye?

Musician Brothers: Cause he'll chain ye up & real good tight

And sell ye back to his employer, and that's he's…

Shiv Katall!

Scenes of what Shiv Katall has done and perform as he gets paid for his service in capturing prey while the unfortunate ones, aren't as lucky in the end.

Sharky: He could hunt down any pony, be it vigilant or crook

Bones: The guy don't care, so long as he's paid in full!

Musician Brothers: For us pirates who roam the seas, we all have our bounties.

And the worse hunter to claim us, we be none other then…

Shiv Katall…

Sharky & Bones sang while sounding cautious, as many of their mates turn and run away in escaping while more wanted posters fall from above.

Sharky: Ye know the name Bones?

Bones: Aye, who hasn't heard of it?

Musician Dou: We watch our backs so very carefully, cause we told you why

Cause there ain't no bounty hunter, we don't know to fear, then…

Shiv Katall!

Soon the song comes to an end while many have slowly absorb the facts that Shiv Katall is not only a dangerous bounty hunter, but if their enemies have hired him, then they may actually have some real problems ahead.

"Captain, how many will go in to retrieve the objective?" Professor Righteous asked forth this question that was urgent to ask.

"I'll just pick some good chaps while leaving it as a surprise, ta catch any ears dropping listens off guard." Captain SparrowJack shrug off to say that he'll plan it out, when they head out and not a minute sooner…in a carefree kinda way to put it.

"Then let me and my friends tag along with you, SparrowJack." Twilight spoke this with a stern insistence at the moment.

"Ye sure lass, Shiv Katall probably only has eyes fer a Pirate Lord's crew, Ponyville civilians aren't on the chopping board fer his bounty collection." SparrowJack asked off in feeling that might be asking too much, their adversary has only targets with high bounties on their heads, civilians aren't on the list.

"If whoever this sea-witch was that took one of our friend's voice hired Shiv Katall, then we have to go and find it." Twilight sternly protest in making her case here very clear now. "No mater the danger." She and all her other friends nod in agreement, they will brave the danger if it's meant to help Sweetie Belle.

"Hmmm, well if you're that sure, then ain't nothing I can do ta change yer mind. Ah, savvy." SparrowJack signs a bit in seeing this lot wasn't gonna give up so easily, so no use debating about it. "Alright lads, get ready ta arm yer selves, we're taking back who's ours."

"Aye-Aye!" The crew responded in hearing the order before they all quickly start going about to prepare for boarding the enemy ship ahoy.

"Spike, I want you to stand with the fillies." Twilight turn to her assistant in giving him this task he should perform.

"Aw, why can't I go too? I'm a firing breathing dragon, I can help in a ship that's almost made up of metal?" Spike complained in being given such a job when he wants to help.

"Cause this time, we're gonna get back wha is ours." Applejack stated off with a stern face in knowing the enemy has something that is theirs.

"Right, if this Shiv guy is that bad, he might try to get the other key." Rainbow Dash nods in stating that the last thing they want, is the bounty hunter snatching their other key.

"And if he does, then I rather not imagine how tragic it would be?" Rarity spoke in thinking if the last key is taken, who knows what could happen.

"Oh that's right, Roxas is letting Captain SparrowJack decide who guards it while staying here?" Fluttershy replied in feeling that such a decision is an important one.

"Don't worry, you all can help out even if missing an adventure." Pinkie Pie smiled off to say this with a positive attitude.

"Well, okay…." Spike, Apple bloom & Scootaloo responded off with a little disappointed expressions; they actually wanted to go and help out.

"Stay safe, all of you." Twilight spoke gently in wishing this bunch to stay safe now.

Soon the Mane Six were out of sight to join up with the boarding group to attack the enemy ship. But the little ones were busy trying to think what to do, they saw Sweetie Belle looking quiet, as she watches her sister and friends leave, feeling they are doing this for her and maybe a burden; but that change when the other CMC came to cheer her up.

"Hang in their Sweetie Belle, we'll get yer voice back." Appel Bloom pats her friend on the back to help her not feel so out of it from being silent.

"Right, our pals and pirate buds will help out while we keep any pony from stealing our last key." Scootaloo nods to state this in thinking they can do this other job while staying.

Sweetie Belle smiled to nod with silence, her friends really are good to her, and she's lucky for that.

"I just hope it'll be alright?" Spike spoke to himself in watching the others head off, they'll need lots of luck to get by this.

The scene focuses on where the Black Pearl silently approaches the Katall vessel within the thickening fog. The operation of the missing Serpent Key & Sweetie Belle's voice retrieval begins…now.


Aboard Shiv Katall's Vessel

Soon we focus around the deck of the Katall ship, as certain pirates are boarding it where it was just empty of anything around it. The flagship seem like it could be used for small, dark undercover attack missions when out at sea, it wouldn't need much crew to operate it. Soon being seen on the deck was none other then the Mane Six: Twilight, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy & Pinkie Pie. And with the mares were the Sparrow Pirates that Captain SparrowJack brought along: Lightning Flash, CrisisCross, Roxas, Victor Krieg, Professor Righteous, Khazim, & Jack the Monkey along with a few other sailing mates.

"All mates are ready, captain?" Khazim issued off that they are ready to go when given the word.

"I'm surprised ye didn't invite Mr. StoneGibbs on this adventure, sir?" Victor Krieg spoke off surprise, the captain always brought along his best nag, why not now?

"Wha can I say, he along with Wilson Ramon, Sharky & Bones, had ta stay with a few others. If any pony can keep our only key safe, StoneGibbs can." SparrowJack explained the reason of his doing was to provide perfect protection for those on their ship.

"Wow, you must have a lot of fate in him?" Fluttershy spoke off in hearing how much SparrowJack comments StoenGibbs.

"No surprising, StoneGibbs is like a close friend to the captain." Roxas shrug off to say this to those here.

"For now, we'll have to search the ship, and find wha be ours?" CrisisCross stated the plan of what they gotta do here.

"I'm the fastest there is, I'll explore this vessel in two shakes of apple cider!" Lightning Flash proclaimed of what he'll do for being so very fast. "POWwfruvhmmm…" And he was zipping around faster then lightning to explore much of the ship.

"Oooooh no! You're not leaving me in the dust!" Rainbow Dash protest in seeing the fast guy trying to zip and outshine her; not on the pony's watch. "POowwfruvhmmm…" Then she jet off with a rainbow blur to search the ship as fast as she could.

"Hugh, maybe it been better if they were not being so competitive right now?" Applejack signs in seeing those two are as competitive even in a serious situation.

"Yes, we all need to search, my sister's voice must be here somewhere?" Rarity spoke in her own concerns of the matter that was on her mind.

"We'll find it Rarity, it's all about where to look." Pinkie Pie smiled off to say in feeling that they gotta look and find wherever the voice of Sweetie Belle's is kept.

"Then lets be careful, Shiv Katall may have some help aboard this vessel?" Professor Righteous spoke with concerns in feeling their foe may not be alone as they think.

"But where?" Twilight asked off in where any ally of the bounty hunter could be hiding.

"Bangfruvhmmm…." Then without warning, something was shot off that was magic bolas that caught some extra pirate mates and made them immobilize.

"Eek-eek-eeeeek!" Jack the Monkey was squeaking out like crazy in spotting who sprung an attack on them by surprise.

Then without warning, much of the ship was self activated by magic to reroute all it's cannons to either knock off or lock on targets. This caused much of the group to scatter while getting out of being near any cannons.

"Who's doing all this?" Rarity asked off in what was going on, who was using magic to make everything try to attack the trespassers.

"Give ye one guess of who, lass!" CrisisCross issued off in bodily stating the answer was easier to understand.

"STompfruvhmmm…STompfruvhmmm…Stompfruvhmm…." Soon stomping with heavy hoof steps, came into the picture was a heavy suited unicorn stallion who looked so scary and meant business, even Twilight's group saw him as a tough guy. "So, you managed to come after all?" Shiv Katall issued off in seeing the Sparrow Pirates have managed to find him.

"Shiv Katall, pleasure ta meet ya. Say, we hate to bother ya, but…we're here on personal matters." SparrowJack smiled off to try to handle this by casual means ins tread of fighting if they could do so, but…

"If you're looking for the keys, you're wasting time. You won't be leaving here…" Shiv Katall was stating the fact out in a dry remote manner of speaking. "WRsispvhmm…" Then he takes out a blue handle sword carried over his back, and when brought out, takes the form of a blue sword that's wide enough & enchanted with magic to slice objects in half. "Alive…." Shiv Katall finished in stating that he'll end those on his ship before they even get out of here.

"Gulp…." The Mane Six swallowed hard in hearing that, this guy sounds like he means to…finish them off, which does not sound to pleasant at all.

"Argh! Ye wanna challenge matey, then ye GOT one." Victor Krieg declared froth when he and many of the elite members of the Sparrow Pirates brought out their weapons.

Soon many of the Sparrow Pirate groups of the elite and their captain each took moments to attack the bounty hunter. And Shiv Katall was performing a few feats of movement that seem as if the guy was so skilled, even those of the Pirate OverLord bunch would be given a hard time in fighting by cutlass and diamond pistol magic shots. As Twilight's group watched this and were about to step in, someone had other plans.

"Twilight, ye and the others get inside, find wha we're seekin'!" SparrowJack shouted out as he was busy swashbuckling against Shiv Katall.

"But can ya handle this varmint?" Applejack asked off if the guys are okay, course the answer came as quick as the question.

"I've cooked meals tougher ta crack then this hard case!" CrisisCross snapped off before swiping his kitchen knife at the bounty hunter, but he used his hover hooves to jet out of the way.

"Yes, but apparently, your meals never were crafty?" Rarity pointed out that the chef never had something like Shiv Katall to tend to.

"Hurry! We need ta move, an ye got a mission ta complete too!" Roxas explained from dodging around the magical laser shots fired from Shiv Katall's magic ankle bracelets; those aren't just decorations, those are serious fire-power.

"Oh my goodness, that's right, we can't dilly-dally all day!" Pinkie Pie gasped out in realizing they have an important duty to complete.

"Then go, we'll hold him off for now!" Professor Righteous issued from throwing some potion bottles out that created smoke clouds to blind their enemy from seeing the plan they are hatching.

"Well, if you insist." Fluttershy meekly spoke in hearing this, they mustn't argue about such things.

As the five mares reached the captain's quarter doors, when they tried to open it up, the magic that surrounded it kept them from getting in. This could only mean one thing, Shiv Katall magic proof the entrance so none could get in but him, he's good.

"It's locked?" Twilight stated with a moan, their way in is lock, and they don't know how to get pass this magical defense spell.

"Not for long! Rainbow Express, coming through!" Rainbow Dash appeared before her friends, as she was getting ready to charge and break down the door.

"Wait Rainbow, that won't work…" Twilight was about to protest about such a brutal way of entry, until…

"Not without me!" Lightning Flash's voice is heard before he came zipping into the action. "Whrizizizivhmmm…/Brizizivhmm../Creakkvuuhhmm…" Then a blur of lightning zapped around the door which short-circuited the spell and soon the stallion appeared in a dashing bravo of a daring dare devil. "A little electrified magic against a simple locking spell, works wonders." Lightning Flash bragged off in seeing that got the job done pretty easily.

"Ugh, fine….we do it your way?" Rainbow Dash signed in defeat in seeing the guy managed to get the big win in being all showy and stuff.

"Nevermind, lets just get in!" Twilight spoke off in getting the group to focus on the task at hand.

Not wasting anytime, did the group by the doors quickly burst right in to begin their task. All while Shiv Katall was being kept at bay by those that were gonna keep fighting so the guy doesn't go after the others getting back the stolen keys, and hopefully Sweetie Belle's voice.


Deep In Shiv Katall's Quarters

The scene opens up to where we see that after the five mares meant up with Rainbow Dash and Lightning Flash, did they enter what was likely the quarters to Shi Katall. And in the room was filled with much hunter stuff that a very skilled bounty hunter would have. But the most important piece of the objects in the room, was a glass case that was display like a trophies case…with THREE of the Serpent Keys that were taken from the pirate gang. It was in some magic glowing glass case that made it seem more shiny then everything else, which may point out that it's highly protective.

"Look! There they are!" Rainbow Dash pointed at seeing the three missing keys.

"De keys dat were stolen!" Applejack stated of the Serpent Keys of West, East, and South the group had in their possession.

"Hooray, we found our missing keys! Though not technically our house keys, but keys to treasure and stuff like that?" Pinkie Pie cheered for this joy while also randomly stating some facts that confused everyone here.

"But where's Sweetie Belle's voice, does anyone hear it?" Rarity asked off in looking, or listening, but saw nothing or heard nothing of her sister's voice.

"I don't hear anything that sounds like her? Oh, but we'll keep looking Rarity." Fluttershy stated in not hearing Sweetie Belle's voice, but tried to encourage her friend to not be in despair

"First we need to bust them keys out, this ain't yer typical shanty display?" Lightning Flash stated the real problem is breaking the case, as he swung his cutlass, only for it to be bounced off by a magical forcefield.

"It we can figure out how it works, maybe we can get the keys out?" Twilight spoke in speaking a logical approach to this.

"This looks like the perfect job fer Roxas, I'll get him and be outta here in two shakes of a salty dog's tail." Lightning Flash spoke in having a grand idea, his matey is good with this field, they need Roxas to open this.

"Heheheh-Hahahaha…." Then some maniacal laughter was heard from around the room that made everyone feel like they had some 'company' inside.

"Eeeek! Who-who-who-who's there?" Flutterhsy yelped out in terror, someone else was in here?

"Show yourselves, we ain't scared of yah?" Rainbow Dash proclaimed off in wanting whoever was behind this act to reveal themselves now.

"Oh, you will be!" The voices responded with it sounding very much like three troublesome characters in question.

Then coming out of the shadows were the most un likely characters the Mane six have ever come to see, and find are the weirdest bunch around, as they were…

"Khaos!" The messy brown fur Earth stallion with bull horns announced himself.

"Kalamity!" The silver mane pegasus stallion announced himself.

"Konfusion!" The green freaky unicorn stallion announced himself too.

"The Katastrophy Brothers are in the house!" The evil brothers announced in union of who they were, and struck a pose.

"Though technically, this isn't a house?" Khaos spoke off in making this statement about he subject in question.

"Right, it's a boat instead of a house." Kalamity nods off in stating that this was not a home, sorta speak.

"Wait, so would it be a houseboat then?" Konfusion asked off in, well confusion in anyone's guess.

"Ugh, great….not THESE guys again?" Lightning Flash groans to slap his forehead in seeing these boneheaded headaches again.

"Ye know them partners?" Applejack raised an eyebrow in seeing the guy knows who these weirdos are.

"The Katastrophy Brothers, they are basically creatures who's sole purpose, is to cause complete catastrophe to anyone." Lightning Flash briefly gave a good explanation about who they are meeting here, at least for the mares first time. "During the first key we got, ran into them, but captain and the others got by in beating them, even the CMC could outsmart these dunce head for brains!" He made a sly smile in mentioning the latter stuff that even fillies outsmarted these bad guys.

"HEeeyyyy!" The evil brothers snapped off in feeling offensive to that remark.

"Well I don't care who they are, they better start talking in telling me where my sister's voice is or else!?" Rarity declared off in making a stern and threatening demand here.

"Hah-hah-hah! You expect us to take the thrustful advice from a flimsy mare?" Kalamity laughs off in not being intimidated by such a pathetic threat from what Rarity gave them.

"That's right, we've been put in charge to watch the keys, so you ain't getting them!" Khaos declared off that they ain't letting nobody take what they have stolen here.

"Then…does that mean you don't know where Sweetie Belle's voice is?" Fluttershy asked off in pondering if these evil chaotic brothers don't know where Sweetie Belle's voice is located.

"Nope! We weren't told about that filly's voice or where it's hidden." Konfusion proudly spoke off in a simple confused state that neither brother knows of that.

"Alright! You boys wanna crash our party, then lets…." Pinkie Pie was slowly speaking while surprising them in getting out….HER CANNON! "PAAAAAARTY!/KABOOM!" After the pink pony shouted that off, she fired off her Party Cannon that hit the evil brothers.

"GAAaaughhhh!" The Katastrophy Brothers yelped from begin hit and that caused some division to the confusion.

"Oh no! I've been hit? They got me! I'm a goner?" Konfusion spoke off in thinking this was the end for him right now.

"Wait a moment, this isn't REAL explosive cannon fire?" Kalamity spoke off in studying the substance of what they were hit with.

"Yeah, it kinda looks like…party streamers and confetti?" Khaos stated in looking a bit lost, who uses that kinda stuff for firing.

"That's cause only Pinkie Pie could pull it off!" Twilight smiled to say that her friend, is the only one that could do such a random act that even the dumbest of bad guys never see coming.

"Just like we can pull this off!" Lightning Flash spoke off to say in suddenly raring up, and… "POWfruvhmmm…/BAMFruvhmmm…." And then he zipped off like lightning and bash himself to tackle Kalamity away from his brothers.

"OWwww! Hey, get off!" Kalamity yelped from the pain while making a complaint to get his space.

"Keep them apart, if they fuse now, then this fight will be harder to win!" Lightning Flash shouted off in instructing the Mane Six what they need to do to at least not lose.

"Alright, AJ & Rainbow, take Khaos, Pinkie & Fluttershy, try to keep Konfusion…" Twilight was giving a plan of attack when…

"Confused!" Pinkie Pie interrupts to say this about the guy they are gonna confuse is related to the word term.

"Yeah, that." Twilight slowly responded by her pink friend's random moments before getting on. "Rarity, I'll figure out how to open this case while you see if maybe your sister's voice is hidden somewhere." She explained in giving Rarity the job to find where Sweetie Belle's voice is stash away in this room.

"Of course darling, and then I'll come and help you out." Rarity nods to say in what she'll do afterwards.

With the task given out, everyone went off to face their foe while others began to either open the display key case or search the room as best they could.

"Yo, you think you can take me?" Khaos asked off against Applejack & Rainbow Dash, thinking they can even beat him.

"Does a dare devil pony think she can charge ye down in one go?" Applejack asked off in making a rhetorical question.

"Um, I don't know? Can she?" Khaos scratched his noggin in being unsure of that answer there.

"SHE CAN!" Rainbow Dash "Frusvhmmm…POWwfruvhmmm!" Then with a blur of her rainbow trail, she tackled against Khaos across the room.

"UUuaghhH?" Khaos yelps from when he got free of that attack to stare at AJ & Rainbow, these two are tougher then expected.

"Um, hi, can we maybe decide to discuss this without resorting to fighting?" Flutterhsy asked gently towards Konfusion, as she and Pinkie Pie were gonna try to take him down.

"Hugh, really, then…ugh…what should we do then?" Konfusion spoke in feeling surprise, what can he do other then fight his enemy.

"How about a game of Simon Says?" Pinkie Pie pops over in suggesting they play a game then fighting.

"Ooooh, I've never played that game before? How do e do it?" Konfusion spoke off in feeling a bit surprised, as he's never actually done something like that before.

"We say something, and you do. But only if we say Simon Says, okay?" Pinkie Pie smiled off happily in explaining the simple rules to the confusing guy.

"Okay! Lets do this thing!" Konfusion smiled off in confusion in actually forgetting how the eve brothers have a job to do.

"Um, okay….lets play." Fluttershy shyly spoke in feeling this may actually work out better for them.

Everyone was busing themselves with keeping the Katastrophy Brothers at bay while some search for ways to find either a voice or a way to retrieve some keys. But the heroes better hurry, who knows how long it'll take before the Sparrow Pirates facing off against Shiv Katall, ends up with the bounty hunter figuring out their plan.


Aboard The Black Pearl?

The scene opens up towards what's going on on the Black Pearl while many of those left behind are hearing a ferocious battle of swashbuckling. The crew left behind like the CMC, Spike, StoneGibbs, Wilson Ramon, Sharky & Bones, are hearing a lot of commotion. It seems that their pals must be fighting against Shiv Katall and maybe other foes aboard that vessel, they wish to see what's happening, but the fog mist is too thick, they can hardly see.

"Argh, curse be this fogy mist! If we had clearer view, we aid from the sidelines?" Wilson Ramon cursed in seeing that they are not given an advantage here.

"Belay that act, we're stayin' put until the others return!" Mr. StoneGibbs order out that they shall not do anything until their crew mates return.

"Aye, but Shiv Katall is there and is in the way?" Sharky nods to understand, but the bounty hunter himself is there too.

"And he's as bad as those other chaps we meant?" Bones states with worry that from the Katastrophy Brothers & Dizchord, Shiv Katall is another problematic foe.

"But you guys beat them all, right?" Spike stated in recalling something about what these pirates did before.

"Yeah, we seen some strange folks on this trip? And ye handle them okay." Apple Bloom spoke off in recalling something of how these guys done on the key quest journey.

"But now we got some pony that's just, well…not so weirdly freaky?" Scootaloo stated that out of those other adversaries, this other foe was more normal; at least partly.

But then while the others were talking, something was seen crawling onto the ship. And while all eyes were focus and mouths chatting, only the silent Sweetie Belle saw what was going on to yelp, and try to react in a panicky state to get the group's attention. Course it would have been easier to tell them, if she only had a voice.

"Yeah Sweetie Belle, I'm worried to." Spike spoke off to say in misunderstanding the mute filly's reaction.

"Don't sweat, our sisters will be back, an with yer voice to." Appel Bloom replied off to say in not following Sweetie Belle's action course.

"Hay, hay, take it easy, can't tell if your excited or just worried?" Scootaloo yelps to say in seeing how much her voiceless friend was getting a bit crazy in trying to tell them something.

Sweetie Belle slapped her forehead in looking ready to scream if only she could, and so she got determine to do the only thing she could do. She grab her friends heads and then turn them to see what was crawling aboard their ship, and did it surprise those that had voices to scream. This alerted the rest of the Sparrow Crew mates to where they find themselves in deep fry water, hyper-pathetically speaking, as they had enemies afoot. And they were none other then…Grinders & Growls?

"By the Devil's Red Sea, wha be this matter of landlubbering beast be aboard the Pearl?" Mr. StoneGibbs asked forth in seeing this shocking display, what were such creatures doing here.

"Grinders & Growls, but they shouldn't be around, there is no island fer miles?" Wilson Ramon stated that this makes no sense, these creatures are only land loving creatures.

"Then where did these guys come from?" Sharky asked off in where these vicious beast came from if they are not near land.

"And what are they gonna do with us?" Bones asked off nervously in not liking their situation in the tiniest bit.

"Oh, I can probably answer that question for you?" Spoke an evil voice that was coming from the darken part of tens hip. And as he was stepping out, he was making an dark laughter noise to frighten the pirate bunch a bit. And within the moon light, the crew have seen the next face of evil and grim despair, for it was….

"By Kraken's Wakenin'? General Ogun, the Death Knight?" Mr. StoneGibbs gasped forth in stating who was here, General Ogun had appeared before the lot.

"Heheheh, I see you're still as knowledgable as always, StoneGibbs?" General Ogun lets off an evil laugh in seeing the navigator still knows his stuff, even of his enemies from long ago.

"Hey, who's this guy here?" Spike whispered to the other pirates in not liking the looks of whoever this Ogun guy was, he seem really bad and scary.

"General Ogun is a creature that ye might think he's as bad as any creature that wields Discord's Chaos Magic. That's fer sure." Wilson Ramon explained the case with a serious face of who this foe is.

"Aye, we put it into words to explain it to ye sea pups?" Sharky nods off in stating that they could talk about who General Ogun is.

"But why do that, when we can tell it by a chantey work." Bones shrug off to say that instead of talking, they can sing instead.

Then without warning, the Musician Duo Brothers: Sharky & Bones brought out their instruments to suddenly start playing another chantey. As they dubbed it 'Ogun Roister' for those that don't know.

Sharky: There was once unicorn roister, from a long time ago

Bones: Aye, a roister be modern-day bounty hunter

Sharky: He tried to protect a kingdom then, but got upstarted by a new hero

Bones: Yep, a newbie hero showed up, stole the attention, glory and highest honor ever given.

The Musician Brothers: And this is the story we tell, of a unicorn named Ogun!

There was a moment of pause as many Grinders & Growls started to dance and shake a bit to the beat.

Sharky: Ogun was filled with jealousy, and he turn to evil cause he felt unappreciated

Bones: Aye, he felt that way, by the kingdom's royal family

Sharky: With the last straw being denied, of a title of greatness & a position he wanted for all time

Bones: Then he meant an evil sorcerer, who conjured a spell that turn him into a unholy pony creature

The Musician Brothers: From his dark abilities, he's a unicorn named Ogun!

"Heheh, it's funny cause it's true!" General Ogun chuckled in feeling this song freely reflects himself of what he is to all.

Sharky: Thus he gain a title as a general to lead an army to war

Bones: Strange creatures he command, to dominate all areas around

Sharky: He does this work, for any powerful villain he works

Bones: And gain another title to be…the Death Knight!

There was a moment's pause where images show of General Ogun as being a newly form creature of such evil, it's scary to see and face him in battle.

Musician Brothers: And so you see, his power to suck all he sees

In a void where none can return?

So if you please, if be smart, then listen well.

Gotta watch out for…General Ogun!

Sharky & Bones were deciding to slowly play out this last bunch of the music.

For General Ogun!

Ooohhh for General….

Then they played a long beat solo together, as it got everyone's attention before their grand finale of their performance.

OOooooGUuuuuuunnnnnn!

"ENOUGH WITH THE SINGING!" General Ogun snapped forth in ending this musical nonsense to get back to serious matters. "I've come to take the final key you hold, hang it over. And I 'might' be gentle?" From the evil tone he gave, his statement of 'might' meant he wasn't gonna hold back if they fought.

"Ye take our key over me walkin' the plank!" Mr. StoneGibbs protest to not cooperating with the vile foe.

"Oh, that can be arrange?" General Ogun responded to say in sounding a bit glad to hear they do things the hard way.

"Stand ye ground stallions, we be facing a dreadful foe!" Wilson Ramon issued the order to the other pirate mates.

"Aye!" The rest of the Sparrow Crew cheered in full on agreement, they won't be beaten by this evil creature.

"Go get them!" General Ogun points his Grinders & Growls in ordering them to go and feast on the pirate prey.

Soon the two sides charged at each other, with swords & magic gun shots firing against a few claws & teeth, as they were battling it out. Spike quickly took the fillies to hid behind a barrel spot while yelping and ducking in seeing any of those beast come near them.

"Oh man, hope the others are fairing better?" Spike muttered in feeling worried now, he hopes Twilight and the others are getting by much better then what they are facing.

The CMC nods in agreement with Spike on that subject, as the only thing they did is keep out as this was more roughhousing then ever they saw. And as for General Ogun, he was facing the elite members of StoneGibbs, Wilson Ramon and Sharky & Bones, that will be a hard fight to see who comes out a winner. As things zoom away while the fighting commences.


Meanwhile, The Battle Against Shiv Katall

At this very moment, the battle where the Sparrow Pirates are duking it out, the most skilled buccaneers against one skilled bounty hunter; Shiv Katall. Even if the odds are against the adversary one to six, Captain SparrowJack, CrisisCross, Roxas, Victor Krieg, Professor Righteous, & Khazim showed that be it blade or magic pistol, or magic potions, to even cannonballs, Shiv Katall was handling himself well while looking like his opponents were working him to the bone.

"Get a load of THIS!" Khazim shouted out in aiming his two big cannons to take aim and….FIRE! "BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAMFruvhmmm…." And soon the cannon stallion was blasting off many shots like no tomorrow.

"BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOMFruvhmmm…" Each of those shots may have wreck some parts of the enemy ship, but Shiv Katall was dodging them with grace & style.

"Ugh, he's to quick to hit, we need Lightning Flash ta help?" Roxas groans in seeing they can't get this guy, they need their fastest flier here.

"Unfortuantely, he's attending other matters, matey." CrisisCross stated that they let their best flier help the mares out find the keys and such.

"Keep him busy as much as you can, and do whatever works for us!" Professor Righteous insisted in what they should continue to do here.

"Well on the plus side, we're at least wrecking' this Lily-Livered Scallywag's ship!" Victor Krieg smiled off in patting his war-spear in his grasp in seeing they are wrecking up the whole ship.

"Just remember lads, don't sink it util AFTER we take what be ours while we settle this quarrel!" SparrowJack gave a heads-up warning that if they sink this thing before they secure their prizes, it'll go down with the ship to the bottom of the sea.

"Surrender now, or you'll make your lives that much more soar when your fate meets it's end." Shiv Katall declared forth in giving his foes a little chance to give up while they still can.

"I rather get Cabin fever, then meet an end by ye blade!" SparrowJack boldly spoke these words of such courgious ways of speaking.

"Then you've asked for it?" Shiv Katall declared forth in wielding his blade to plan on attacking.

"Keep it up lads, gotta buy as much time as we can!" SparrowJack shouted off to his mates in what they gotta do here.

"Aye!" the rest of the pirates responded in understanding that message very well. until they can get what is here, then keeping this bounty hunter distracted isn't gonna help out especially if he catches on.


And Now With Twilight's Group Moment?

The scene returns to what's going on in Shiv Katall's quarters as we speak. As much of the Mane Six & Lightning Flash were handling the Katastrophy Brothers. Applejack & Rainbow Dash were holding and using muscle strength on Khaos. Lightning Flash was chasing Kalamity above the ceiling with their flight ability to catch and tackle another. Even surprisingly seeing, Pinkie Pie & Fluttershy were distracting Konfusion with a Simon Says game, the guy really is clueless. Rarity was searching all over in making a real mess in Shiv Katall's quarters' chamber. And Twilight was using her magic to figure out what sorta spell kept the three Serpent Keys lock-up tight.

"Ugh, what sorta spell did Shiv Katall put on this thing?" Twilight groans to complain in having such a difficult time figuring out this tricky spell that even the smart mare is having such problems.

"Hah-hah-hah! Give it up, little miss." Kalamity laughs off while in the air in seeing someone struggle. "That case is specially protective against any magical force." He explained while he dodge a close cutlass call form Lightning Flash.

"Yeah, you can't get it open, unless you know how!" Khaos bragged out from when he was soon wrestling his front hooves against Applejack & Rainbow Dash.

"Right, like any of you guys even know how." Lightning Flash rolled his eyes to make a remark that these two doofuses even know how to open the case.

"Oh yeah, well…we were given a chance to know the secret password that will cease the spell!" Konfusion spoke off to say in hearing that while commenting the fact that they know the answer.

"Oh really? Says you?" Rarity raised an eyebrow to stop her search for her sister's voice in making that remark fact.

"That's right, says me!" Konfusion declared forth in stating this fact.

"Says me….says me….wait! Could it be….?" Pinkie Pie repeated that for a few seconds until…it hit her. "Hey Twilight, try saying 'Open Season' to the case!" The pink pony issued to her smart friend in what to do.

"What?" Twilight raised an eyebrow in hearing that right.

"Pinkie, it can't be something so simple as that?" Rainbow Dash stated from thinking that was too easy a password to remove such a spell.

"Then again, we are dealing' with simpletons?" Applejack pointed out that these evil brothers are not the sharpest tool in the shed.

"Um, excuse me…is that really the password?" Fluttershy meekly spoke towards Konfusion in asking a question of thought.

"Yep! While Shiv Katall deals with the others and another pal of ours deals with your ship buddies, we setup the password." Konfusion

"PACKfruvhmmm…" Then Khaos was nearby that he punch Konfusion on the noggin.

"Ow, what was that for?" Konfusion yelped in feeling that, why his brother do that.

"For telling them the stupid password, genius!" Khaos snapped off to remark that his confused brother spilled the beans.

"Oh, I'm such a bonehead, she didn't even say Simon Says?" Konfusion spoke off like a dope in realizing his mistake, though confusing as it was.

"Quick! Stop them!" Kalamity shouted that they gotta stop them mares before they get the keys.

"Quickly Twilight, say it!" Pinkie Pie shouted for her friend to use what they got now.

"I can't believe I'm gonna do this, but….OPEN SEASON!" Twilight signs to say this before taking a deep breath and then spoke the password to undo the spell.

Then without warning, the magic seal on the case suddenly vanished without a trace. And in that instant, Twilight saw all three Katastrophy Brothers coming at her from all sides. So the mare used her magic to levitated the keys and then perform a teleportation spell in that moment. And while that saved the girl, the evil brothers smacked into each other to slowly moan from headaches. And then Twilight reappear near her friends in having the three keys in her hold.

Wow, so there are simple ways to get things open?" Twilight responded surprise in seeing that even simple things can work to one's advantage.

"And you ponies thought I would only bring the silly things to distract others?" Pinkie Pie smiled off in stating how many of her friends thought she was only good for being silly.

"Yeah, we pretty much covered that part Pinkie?" Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes in stating the fact was simple for them to see.

"Grussfruvhmmm…." Suddenly, strange light was seen behind the empty case that earn the gang's attention.

"Wha in blue blazes is dat weird light effect?" Applejack asked off in shielding her eyes, just what was going on here.

"GROOUUWAARRRrughhhh!" Then without warning, a giant and familiar creature foe rose up like a mighty beast that frighten the mares. "Prepare to meet your doom, for together we are….Katastrophy!" The creature spoke in three voices of the Katastrophy Brothers.

"AAAAahhhhh! It's HIDEOUS!" Rarity screeched in gazing in horror of what they are seeing.

"Oh dear, oh me, oh my?" Fluttershy was yelping in seeing such a creature of such evil before them.

"Oh no…..SparrowJack and the fillies said they fought the brothers, but they could fuse into something unheard of?" Twilight yelps in just now realizing something of this situation that did not seem too good now.

"Yeah, and this….would be the ugly side of those guys?" Rainbow Dash dryly stated in seeing how ugly the brothers are even after they fuse.

"GRUOOWWAAAaughhhh!" Katastrophy roared in front of the gang while breaking through the empty case. "Give us back the keys, or you shall face our terror! All six of you!" Katastrophy declared off with three voices in wanting the heroes to give them the keys, or else.

"Six? But I thought there were seven of us when we enter this room?" Pinkie Pie asked off this sudden question that earn some attention.

"Hugh?" Katastrophy responded puzzle to hearing this, as it earn his curiosity. "One….Two….Three…Four….Five….Six….Hey, are we forgetting someone?" He pointed and counted the six mares, but felt like there was one pony missing; who was it?

"I'll give you a hint, he's faster then you can catch!" Lightning Flash was heard, as he sounded very close, almost right behind…the bad guy. "SWAAshfruvhmm…." Then a blur dash similar to lightning has suddenly struck with a blade against the giant beast creature of chaos.

"GRRruaghh…." Katastrophy groans from taking that hit, as he stood up to look around. "Oh yeah fly boy, we'll see how great you are…when we catch you!" He spoke with three voices in making this claim of what he'll do.

Now Katastrophy's focus was on Lightning Flash, but as the Bringer Of Catastrophe was so focus on that, he forgot about re-securing the keys from the Mane six. Boy, even when the evil brothers work together, they are still pretty dumb and very slow.

"Our guy's got big ugly's attention, we gotta get out before he realizes wha was pulled?" Applejack stated on what has happened now, now's their chance to scram.

"But Sweetie Belle's voice, I've looked everywhere, and I can't find it?" Rarity stated out in protesting to not leave until she finds something else she's looking for.

"Maybe it isn't on the ship?" Fluttershy stated the option of what could be explained here.

"Fluttershy's right Rarity, this is a bounty hunter's vessel, not a sea witch vessel." Rainbow Dash nods her head in thinking this was not the same villain that swiped Sweetie Belle's voice.

"Rarity, I promise we'll find your sister's voice, but right now, we have to get off this ship." Twilight comes to her worrying friend to pat her shoulder, trying to help ease her of Rarity's worries.

"Oh, alright darling. I just hope we aren't making a mistake?" Rarity spoke in giving in to the suspense of reason over heart.

"Quickly, lets sneak out of here!" Pinkie Pie issued off in what they best do now before they lose the element of surprise.

Soon the Mane Six were quickly, and quietly trying to sneak a bit with Lightning Flash still having Katastrophy follow him in a blind leader's chase.


Back Aboard The Sparrow Pirate Ship

Things got really crazy with the much wild fighting going on the Black Pearl. General Ogun and his forces of Grinders & Growls are continuing their wild and brutal attacks which are kinda damaging the pirate's ship. Many of the Sparrow Pirates are fighting against the beasts while the elites like StoneGibbs, Wilson Ramon, Sharky & Bones are still keeping the general of horrors as off balance as they can. Spike and the CMC watch from behind safety while they seem to be coming up with any sorta plan to help out.

"Okay, does any pony have a plan? We can't just hid here?" Spike asked around if anyone here had an idea that can help get them out of this mess.

"Spike, we survive those Grinders & Growls before? So we have some experience." Scootaloo pointed out a fact to the baby dragon to recall.

"Yeah, but not them and a creepy pony who looks seriously tough & scary?" Spike stated a good point over the debate here.

"Spike's right, we gotta figure out another plan ta help out or our pals ain't gonna last much longer?" Appel Bloom stated from looking at the pirates, they are almost getting overrun by so many wild creatures.

Suddenly at this moment, Sweetie Belle had an idea stroke. But she also realized that she still couldn't speak, so she had to figure out how to tell the others. That's when she saw a bucket of water and sudsy soap inside, and pointed it to her friends.

"Wha is it Sweetie Belle?" Appel Bloom responded to her friend trying to tell them something.

"What's with the bucket of soapy water?" Scootaloo asked off in not following this moment.

Sweetie Belle then showed her friends by tossing the soapy water on the deck which caused it to become slippery. And when a few Grinders & Growls came near it, they weren't careful, and began to slip, crash into others and slide off the ship and into the water.

"Hey, that could help, those Grinders & Growls aren't experienced enough to handle a slippery deck, that can help out? Great thinking Sweetie Belle." Spike smiled off in seeing what the mute filly was trying to tell them, that plan might just work.

Sweetie Belle smiled with joy, she may not be able to speak without a voice, but she can get her message across just fine. Soon Spike and the CMC gather many buckets, filled them with water and soap before tossing it across the deck. While many pirates were able to handle the slippery mess, the Grinders & Growls didn't have that much luck. And pretty soon the tide was turning that pretty soon, the crew sent all the beast off their ship and that let them cheer with relief.

"Well this here's a slippery moment we seem ta have gotten in?" Bones stated in finding their situation was a strange case.

"Aye, but on the brighter side, got them critters off our boat." Sharky commented with a smile to his pal on what they achieve.

"Mr. StoneGibbs, looks like fate be on our side this day?" Wilson Ramon smiled in looking around, now it's just them…and their one foe.

"Looks like ye ploy ta get our key has been sweep clean, Ogun!" StoneGibbs declared off in stating this fact in seeing they have turn the tides.

"RRrrrughhh….I should have train those creatures how to handle slippery floors?" General Ogun cursed this moment where his luck was taken from him. "I still have a trick up my sleeve, prepare to be sucked into….the Void!" He declared forth in having one thing to end this game and win, and it involves a power of a black hole.

General Ogun suddenly performs something out of the blue, he created a vortex before him, and was preparing to suck in any of the pirates into his 'void' of no return. The Sparrow Crew were now cautiously worry in seeing this, and were backing away while trying to figure out how to stop their foe without getting close. But as General Ogun was about to seize victory, he fail to notice the CMC & Spike's spilt water and a spare soap until…

"Whrushvmmm…./WAAAUUAAaugh…." Then without waring, General Ogun slips on a nearby soap on the wet floor, and dents him yelping out of control and over the ship's plank. "CURSPLASHfruvhmmm…." Soon the guy fell right into the water below, as he seem to disappear from sight at the moment. The rest of the crew and guest looked over, and it seem their foes have vacated their area.

"Well, that seems like he's all washed up?" Wilson Ramon smiled off to say in what they saw just happened.

"Nice work lads & lasses, nice touch in usin' our cleanin' gear as tools fer combat!" Mr. StoneGibbs complimented the baby dragon and fillies for the great effort.

"No problem!" Apple Bloom & Scootaloo responded to say while Sweetie Belle smiled to nod in silence.

"It was all Sweetie Belle's idea anyway." Spike pointed out who the credit mostly goes to for thinking up that plan.

"Wait till the captain and the others hear this?" Sharky smiled off in stating this fact of pure joy.

"They'll be tickle-me-bit when they hear it!" Bones smiled off all fuzzy and whatnot on how they handle this.

"Lets hope so, it looks like that battle be nearly over?" Mr. StoneGibbs pointed out in seeing from the thick mist fog, that those fighting the enemy bounty hunter are nearly done.

The rest of the crew watches this from afar in seeing a few lights and loud explosive nosies are heard. Looks like the battle against Shiv Katall might just about be over soon…


The Fight Against Shiv Katall!

We return to how the Sparrow Pirates aboard the Katall vessel are doing against Shiv Katall. Captain SparrowJack, CrisisCross, Roxas, Victor Krieg, Professor Righteous, & Khazim were using their sailing and pirate skills against the skilled bounty hunter, and the guy seem to anticipate many of their moves like being two steps ahead. And that became even worse when Shiv was soon in front of the pirates while their backsides were near his quarters.

"Time to end our little game?" Shiv Katall declared from aiming his two front bands together, as they were charging up.

"Lookout! That's a Magical Pulse Cannon type move!" Professor Righteous shout di warning the others of what's coming.

"Well, that just seems a little unfair?" SparrowJack remotely stated in feeling this was a tad bit unsettling.

"Now I've got you where I want you." Shiv Katall declared forth before he soon had his weapon charged.

"INCOMING!" Lightning Flash's voice was heard from rushing out Shiv's quarter chamber with another pursuer.

"POWWFrusvhmmm…." Shiv Katall fired off his Magical Pulse Cannon that shall explode on contact.

Then in a split second, Lightning Flash zipped upwards while Katastrophy went straight towards the attack Shiv Katall fired off, and…

"KURPOWWfruvhmmm…/GRUUAaugh…WAAaugh!" Katastrophy yelped in taking that entire explosion of a cannon that let him be unable to steer clear from…crashing into the bounty hunter.

"GOOuuuagh…." Shiv Katall yelps from not seeing this unpredictable matter to develop, and didn't dodge in time. "GRrr….Get off me, you big behemoth!" Now he was piled down with Katastrophy on top of him.

"Eek-Eek-Eek!" Suddenly, Jack the Monkey appears when the pirates saw that their adversary was down to point at something else; a hole in the ship which lead to some highly explosive stuff below deck.

"Captain look, Jack found beneath this vessel, is loaded with some ignitable firepower." Victor Krieg pointed out to his captain of what their findings be.

"Permission ta lit the bird on fire, captain?" CrisisCross asked his captain in seeing this a chance, they can knock two birds with one stone.

"Not yet, we wait fer…" SparrowJack was about to say they wait for the Mane Six when….

"SparrowJack!" Twilight and her friends called out from rushing out of Shiv Katall's captain quarters, and with three surprises; their stolen keys.

"We got good news and bad news." Rainbow Dash stated off in having something to tell here.

"Good news, got them keys ye fellas wanted back." Applejack pointed out in what they've managed to recover now.

"But they don't seem to have my sister's voice?" Rarity stated the bad news of not finding what she was looking for.

"Eeek-Eek-Eek!" Jack the Monkey was speaking his monkey language to which Fluttershy managed to understand.

"Oh my, Jack said he looked around and couldn't find it either?" Fluttershy explained what the monkey told her, Jack has explore this vessel while they were busy, and found nothing of Sweetie Belle's voice.

"Then we best get off this ship now while those two aren't getting up?" Roxas stated that it won't be long before Shiv Katall gets off from being under Katastrophy's big body.

"Right, mates, set a fuse, and lets blow this party." SparrowJack issued out the order in what they best do.

"Aw, we are gonna have a party?" Pinkie Pie moans to hear this, as they'll leave before they have the party to be in.

"Later….Pinkie!" Twilight remotely told her friend that they don't have time to worry over such things.

Soon the Sparrow Pirates & the Mane Six were escaping to take the ropes or fly or teleport with magic out of there…while a long fuse line was lit. And as it was going pass the two villains, they saw it zip by and went below the deck…

"Uh-Oh!" Katastrophy responded in looking wide-eye in horror at this.

"I wasn't paid enough for this?" Shiv Katall complained under his breath in seeing what's about to happen now…

"KURPOWWFrvuhmmmm….KABOOM-KABOOM-KABAM!" Soon afterwards, Shiv Katall's vessel was exploding all over to where it was slowly taking on water before beginning to sink. The Sparrow Pirate ship was already far enough from the distance tone safe. And we soon see that Katastrophy reverted back in a blinding light to being the evil three brothers: Khaos, Kalamity & Konfusion. And they drifted near General Ogun and when they were together, Shiv Katall hovered with his magic hover hooves to them.

"I'm sending you the bill for this!" Shiv Katall stated before using his magic to bring forth a mechanical motorcycle with the same style work as his appearance; as it's both fast, packs a few extra stuff when bounty hunting, and it has it's own levitation function to fly off the ground, or sea at this case. Shiv gets on his bike that survived the explosion, and he soon took off to disappear within the mist fog.

"Well that's just great?" Khaos mains to complain of the situation they're in.

"Yeah, now we're in deep water now?" Kalamity nods in feeling this wasn't good.

"And we just had our bath not to long ago?" Konfusion complained to state this confusing fact.

"Oooohhhh, Mistress Demona isn't going to like this at all?" General Ogun moans to complain that when someone they know hears this, it won't be pleasant.

Soon the scene zooms away from the villains that were now drifting on any driftwood that floated by. As they will have to find a way out of the water before they do anything else.


Now Returning To the Black Pearl

Finally, after their toughest case moment yet, the gang of pirates under SparrowJack & Twilight's group return to their ship; with all the keys that were stolen. The Sparrow Pirates let off a loud cheer for their victory of at last, having all four Serpent Keys; first West, then East, then South, and now North. The group under a Pirate OverLord have done the challenges, and despite the competitive odds, have come out on top.

"Argh, at last, we have all the keys!" Lightning Flash cheered in seeing that victory is at last theres.

"Tis calls fer me special stew! Who be hungry ta eat their stuffin's out?" CrisisCross smiled for joy in seeing that this be a fine moment to celebrate.

"Hargh-Haaarrugh!" Much of the pirate crew cheered in loving that idea of their chef.

"Lets give this a go with music, Bones!" Sharky declared off in what he and his buddy can do.

"Aye, I'm pretty down with that there!" Bones responded in liking that idea very much.

Soon many of the pirates were having another of their parties to celebrate the victory moment.

"Argh! That was a battle worthy ta be fought and blown up, mateys!" Khazim smiled with pride in how that battle really was something.

"Ye must be referrin' to how ya managed to handle Shiv Katall?" Wilson Ramon stated off in figuring what this bunch that left the ship did.

"Aye! And at last, in the end, we drove that bounty hunter off. I hope we never see him again!" Victor Krieg proudly spoke off to say this from what was good at the moment.

"I don't know, villains like him can sometimes come back faster then you expect them to be?" Roxas spoke off in thought in feeling they may not have seen the last of Shiv Katall.

"Relax, we busted his ship, he might not return unless his employees pay extra." Lightning Flash stated in feeling that Shiv Katall won't be back after such a loss, unless given extra pay.

"And I seem to notice, me ship looks a bit rough handle, care to explain mates?" SparrowJack stated from seeing some damages done around, what was going on while they were away.

"Aye captain, turns out the commandin' general of villains be afoot. General Ogun was the center attention here." Mr. StoneGibbs spoke forth in telling his captain of another villain that was at work here. "He almost had us cornered like sea rats with them Grinders & Growls he brought, and we were almost sunk by his dangerous void. If an however, not fer the brave task of the wee ones." He smiled around the latter part when looking at Spike & the CMC.

Now much attention was on the little ones aboard the pirate ship, as all mates & Ponyville citizens looked to them with being surprise and relief upon such news.

"It was mostly Sweetie Belle's idea after all." Apple Bloom smiled in giving the credit to one friend that gave them the idea.

"Yeah, she came up with a good plan, and we work it out." Scootaloo nods in knowing that Sweetie Belle really came through for them.

"Oh my, I'm so glad to hear that." Rarity spoke to come near her sister to bend down to her level. "Sweetie Belle, I'm sorry…but I have not recover your voice? Can you wait just a tad longer?" She apologize for knowing what she tried to do ended up not going so well, as the voice she couldn't find.

Sweetie Belle smile to nod her head in understanding, she can wait a little longer.

"Ohhh….I guess that means she's okay with waiting a bit?" Fluttershy spoke in seeing and understanding what Sweetie Belle was trying to say.

"Yeah, I'm guessing that's pretty much what she's saying alright." Rainbow Dash nods lightly in figuring that much already.

"Ye all did good in protecting de ship, ran into dat nasty Katastrophy fella." Applejack nods off to say this in being proud of the little ones, as they tussle with some trouble.

"Yep, boy were they weird or what? And by they, we mean he, which was three, but were one, but were…" Pinkie Pie was kinda going off in randomly speaking off the different parts of the Katastrophy Brothers and how they became one, etc.

"Okay Pinkie, I think we know what you're trying to say." Twilight cuts in to stop her pink friend from going on and on. "So SparrowJack, where to now after we got the keys?" She turn to the captain in wondering what is happening next.

"Well lass, I think we should probably get the trident now." SparrowJack stated from taking the key StoneGibbs had to bring it together with the three they recovered.

"But what about Sweetie Belle's voice?" Spike asked off that they still have a filly who's speechless; literally speaking.

"Out unknown foe seems connected with sending in these villains to obtain the keys, it only makes sense they are not giving up unit they have Neptune's Trident." Professor Righteous spoke a reason to believe that the keys are only for those after the trident, so they need to be ahead in this game. "Therefore captain, it maybe logical to plot a course with your magic compass to lead us where the Center of the Sea is located." He explained the case in what they best do here to better themselves.

"Right, an if them blokes show up, this time, we'll force them to give back wee Sweetie Belle's voice, no problem." SparrowJack nods in agreement while stating a fact to promise this to Twilight's group. "Fer now, lets have a toast, fer our journey is nearly at an end! C'est la vie." He spoke this from grabbing a nearby mug with apple cider to make a cheer.

"Aye-Aye!" The entire crew of pirates responded in all agreement to that.

"Well, at least that's a plan to help us out, right?" Spike shrug off to say in not seeing anything wrong with that.

"Hugh, I really hope it's that simple Spike? I truly hope so indeed?" Twilight signs to say in really hoping SparrowJack is correct about that statement.

Soon the scene zooms away from the pirate ship, as it sails away within the night skies. The gang now have the four keys and they must race towards the final goal. Question is…will it be as easy as they may think…?


Meanwhile, Below The Sea Near Demona's Area

The scene slowly opens up towards the undersea prison of where Demona is kept within. And at this moment, she cast her magic view mirrors to see General Ogun & the Katastrophy Brothers landing on a nearby island as they were all wet from drifting from Shiv Katall's sunk vessel ship. Apparently the working villains are about to make their report progress, and we can guess where this maybe heading.

"I am sorry, mistress, but eventually, the task of obtaining all the keys have…well, it…ugh…." General Ogun spoke in feeling that he was having a hard time to explain that they fail in their big mission until….

"Let me guess, those Sparrow Pirates managed to require all four Serpent Keys, and can now head towards the final destination, where Neptune's Trident is sealed?" Demona spoke off in a dry bored tone in already guessing what has already happened.

"Well, when you put it THAT way?" Kalamity stated in feeling that explanation was pretty much dead on.

"It does sound rather bad in a way?" Khaos spoke a bit lost in realizing that the discussion does sound bad.

"Aw man, now we lost out on getting the cool trident?" Konfusion groans in knowing this means they miss out on the good stuff.

"MWah-hahahahah-hahahahaaahhh…" But suddenly, Demona was letting off a maniacal laughter that did not sound too displeasing. "Oh, we shall still obtain the trident." She issued to say this statement out of nowhere.

"Hugh?" The Katastrophy Brothers responded a bit puzzled and confused in hearing this.

"Um, mistress, what is it that you're talking about? The part which I might have miss out on?" General Ogun asked off very confused and unknowing of what as going on here.

"I knew that if we fail in acquiring the last key, then those pirates would have them all together, allowing them to go after the treasure they seek." Demona explained the course of how things would end up turning if not for their own accord. "Which is why no matter what happened in the end, we would have a way to get the trident." She smiled evilly in seeing that this moment, they are not out of the game yet.

"Oh yeah." Konfusion responded off to say with a smile.

"Of course!" Kalamity stated the fact that they were told.

"I knew that!" Khaos waved off to say that he knew this.

"You three don't have any idea what she's talking about, do you?" General Ogun raised a suspicious eyebrow in seeing these fools try to make themselves look smart.

"No…." All three Katastrophy Brothers responded to the question with delay.

"You see, we will let them open the seal for us, and then you shall obtain the trident and bring it to my servants. Then, they shall give it to me, and I will at last be free." Demona

"But, aren't the pirates kinda…you know, good guys instead of evil pirates?" Khaos spoke off puzzled about the subject that the Sparrow Pirates are not really evil guys.

"And seeing that your an evil that's trap, and wants to reign with terror?" Kalamity pointed out that Demona is an evil force bend of much evilness.

"Yeah, if they knew, they never wanna help set free a bad guy?" Konfusion nods in blind puzzlement in feeling the subject was more confusing then ever.

"Oh, but that is just it, they shall have no choice in the matter." Demona continued to smile in feeling there was nothing to fear or lose in the matter. "For I have the perfect tool to which can guarantee my victory and where this plan shall succeed." She stated off in having the one thing to turn the tides into her favor. "And it shall be thanks…to this little gift I receive? Nehuhh-huhuhahahahaahhh…" Demona declared forth with a sinister laugh as she held up a certain object….from a certain little filly she obtain it from.

As the conch shell glowed, Sweetie Belle's voice is heard humming it's 'Aaaahhhh-AAaahhhh-AAaaahhhh….' responses without every changing it's tune. It would seem that without a doubt, Demona has a special use for this voice, and it shall give her the greatest trumpet to get her freedom. What sorta evil shall come from this evil sea-witch in using such a pretty voice, those are thoughts so scary to think, they are best left….for next time…


VISION NOTE: The songs are just mostly made up by me, so one just thinks about it in a catchy tune of a pirate chanty work, and it should play out fine.

And now that this VISION has just been finished, guess what? It's now time, for the VISION-KING to take another step up in the game, as we shall soon see the next adventure where the main treasure of the sea is seen: Neptune's Trident. But will the task be so simple, that may not be so, especially when another dangerous encounter is….Sirens! Yes, but this time, not of any ordinary kind, this one will have…a special voice. We can IN-VISION how much a problem it will be, when the males begin to become hypnotic, and that only Twilight and her group of friends can possiblyy stop things before the villains finally obtain the trident? The enemy will have a head start, but can the ponies make it in time….just have to stay tune to find out…
