Chapter 21 The Battle of The Reaper's Hideout.
(Cue Santiana by The Longest Johns)
[The Sea of Thieves Grand Fleet]
Oh Santiana gained the day
Away Santianna
Now pull the yan up the west they say
Along the plains of Mexico
Well heave her up and away we'll go
Away Santiana
Heave her up and away we'll go
Along the plains of Mexico
She's a fast clipper ship and a bully good crew
Away Santiana
And an old salty Yank for a captain too
Along the plains of Mexico
Well heave her up and away we'll go
Away Santiana
Heave her up and away we'll go
Along the plains of Mexico
Santiana fought for gold
Away Santiana
Around Cape Horn through the ice and snow
Along the plains of Mexico
Well heave her up and away we'll go
Away Santiana
Heave her up and away we'll go
Along the plains of Mexico
'Twas on the field of Molly-Del-Rey
Away Santiana
Well both his legs got blown away
Along the plains of Mexico
Well heave her up and away we'll go
Away Santiana
Heave her up and away we'll go
Along the plains of Mexico
It was a fierce and bitter strife
Away Santiana
The general Taylor took his life
Along the plains of Mexico
Well heave her up and away we'll go
Away Santiana
Heave her up and away we'll go
Along the plains of Mexico
Santiana now we mourn
Away Santiana
We left him buried off Cape Horn
Along the plains of Mexico

The Sea of Thieves Grand Fleet. As the fleets of Pirates sang and sail to the small island named The Reaper's Hideout. All of the Pirates were checking their weapons, ammo and gear.
"REAPER'S HIDEOUT, DEAD AHEAD! CAPTAIN!" The lookout called out as the crew ready themselves for a fight.
"Now is the time, Pirates of the Sea, to unite. For the minions of Captain Flameheart gather. On that forsaken Hideout, the Ashen Lords are cowardly hiding away hoping to strike at us when we are at our weakest. BUT NOW MORE! As my father, the Pirate Lord told me that he had sent Pirates ahead into the depths of the Hideout to fight the enemy and defeat Flameheart and all that serve him. Now sharpen your swords and axes, load your guns and make ready for war. FOR RAMSEY, FOR THE SEA OF THIEVES, FOR PIRACY!" I gave a rallying speech to my Grand Fleet as at the end of it all of my Pirates were cheering at rallying speech.
As the rowboats and landing ships that I took inspiration from D-Day landed on the shores of The Reaper's Hideout. All of my Pirates are beginning to fight the Skeletons. The Reaper's Bones Pirate's that are waiting for them as my Pirate that are shooting with Eye's of Reach began to snipe the most dangers Pirate's and Skeletons like the Skeleton that are holding Gunpowder Kegs and lighting up the fort and all of the Pirates inside. Cannons from the Ships surrounding the island began to fire at the fort, giving my Pirates an edge in battle.
"BLOODY PIRATES!" A voice came from the top of the Church-like building at the centre of the Hideout. It was an Ashen Lord. His voice just clicked in my head. It was Stichter Jim but in a Skeleton voice, all Twisted and filled with hatred and darkness. "You think you can come to our home, kill us all and burn this island to the ground. Well, I got some news for you, Pirates, We have converted some Pirate Legend and are now fighting on our side. EDWARD WINDSOR! KILL THE 'GRAND PIRATE ADMIRAL' AND THEN ALL OF HIS LACKYS!"
"Yes, my lord," Edward said as he teleported to me with a cutlass in hand then came to me and then the Pirate Legend and I began to dual as my Pirates attack the fort.
(Cue Victory from The Pirate Movie soundtrack)
[Pirates. As my Pirates sang the song of victory and were fighting the Reaper's Bones Pirates, the Skeletons and the Ashen Lords. The dual with the rogue Pirate Legend was going against my side, but thanks to some more training with my Mom and Dad, Shining Armour and Aunt Luna. I was able to drive him back with both magic and sword skills. We fought on the deck of the Pirate Prince and it was a tug-of-war kind of fight on the ship. But then I got an idea on how to stop this fight quicker.]
Raise the flag of piracy, sing the song of victory
Glorious in battle are we
We've never known defeat, we never will retreat.
We live to hear the cannon roar,
And terror is our semaphore
Victoriously loathsome are we,
We rob the rich, the poor; then steal a little more.
Victory; we fight to win
Victory; is ours again
We are the scourge of the land and sea
Beastly pirates are we.
[Pirates. I then teleported to the Hideout and tried to take out the Ashen Lord who was being guarded by some armoured Skeletons. But Edward blocked my attack, gained some ground and pushed me back. But as we locked swords, he pulled out a dagger from his side and struck me across my left eye, blinding and making me go into a blind rage.]
Masters of the briny sea,
We'll go down in history.
Courageous men who live by the sword
We deal in treachery, the kings of lechery.
Raise the anchor, trim the sail
We raid tonight if winds prevail
Invincible we fight to the end
United to a man, we need no battle plan.
Victory; we fight to win
Victory; is ours again
We are the scourge of the land and sea
Beastly pirates are we.
[Pirates. I charged him with my horn and pierced his heart, I then throw him off, grabbed him in my magic and shot him eight times with my Ebon Flintlocks Pistols and blasted him with five Blunderbombs, sending him to the eternal service to the Ferry of the Dammed. Just as the rest of the Ashen Lords have begun to fall apart as my Nakama burns the Hideout and looting it of its treasure and relics. Then I sang the chorus of the song as a victory cry as all seven fleets of my Nakama.]
It's so pitiable a sight, to see them walk the plank
They squirm and cry for mercy regardless of their rank.
Victory; we fight to win
Victory; is ours again
We are the scourge of the land and sea
Beastly pirates are we.
[William Hunter Singh]
Victory; we fight to win
Victory; is ours again
We are the scourge of the land and sea
Beastly pirates are we.
VICTORY!

"WILLIAM!" Twilight, Spike, Applejack, Rainbow, Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie, Gilda, Trixie, Zecora, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, Shining Armour, Danny Eclipse, Mom, Dad and Aunt Luna yelled as they saw my eyepatch. "What Happened to you?"
"I'm fine, It's nothing to worry about," I told them to reassure them, but there was no way I was convincing them.
"Your eye, how bad is it?" Mom asked me with lots and lots of worry.
"It's just a scratch, that's all," I replied.
"I can try to heal it, but I'm not sure if it's going to be healed properly," Aunt Luna said to me.
"I never said that the Pirate's life is easy and you can never get a scar or three," I told my family, "At least I now know what it is like to lose apart of your body, like you did, Dad,"
"That's right, my Son," Dad said to me, "When I lost my right hind leg, Tia here never left my side after the first battle with the Kraken," He then told me as Mom blushed a bit.
"You know I was worried to death for your life after the fight with that monster, my love!" Mom said to Dad, who was just smiling like a proud man that he is as all of my friends giggled a little.
"Excuse me, my lord, I believe these Pirates want to talk to you, my Lord," one of my Buccaneers interrupted my talk with my family. I turn to a group of four Human Pirates.
"Thanks to you. Captain Flameheart and his army of Ashen Lords are no more. My Pirates will now see that this fort is razed to the ground and all of its treasures are safe and sound with their rightful owners." I told the Human Pirates, "But First, in the words of my brother Demarco, it's time to celebrate our glorious victory!"

[William]
Bring a tankard filled with grog
And join our merry mob
We're stumbling to the docks
And we are leaving land behind
For on a ship with sails
We'll ride upon the sea
We're counting you and me
Now one, two, three
[Pirates]
For on the Sea of Thieves, we sail as we please
Hunting for treasure again
For on the Sea of Thieves, we are all free
Be the pirate you want to be
[William]
Bring a tankard filled with beer
And become a privateer
Do whatever you want
We're leaving left behind
Hoist the sails, weigh anchor
Find a ship and flank her
We're taking all your loot
Including your boots
[Pirates]
For on the Sea of Thieves, we sail as we please
Hunting for treasure again
For on the Sea of Thieves, we are all free
Be the pirate you want to be
[William]
Bring a tankard filled with rum
Now our drinking has begun
We're all getting drunk
And we're leaving left behind
Scrabbling on to deck
And thinking "What the heck?"
Let's fire all our guns
Just for fun
[Pirates]
For on the Sea of Thieves, we sail as we please
Hunting for treasure again
For on the Sea of Thieves, we are all free
Be the pirate you want to be
For on the Sea of Thieves, we sail as we please
Hunting for treasure again
For on the Sea of Thieves, we are all free
Be the pirate you want to be
[Rarity]
Bring a tankard filled with wine
The crow's nest I'm assigned
"I don't know how to swim"
We're leaving left behind
"But I really don't know how to swim
So please don't push me in
For surely I will drown"
Filly overboard
[Pirates]
For on the Sea of Thieves, we sail as we please
Hunting for treasure again
For on the Sea of Thieves, we are all free
Be the pirate you want to be
[Instrumental]
For on the Sea of Thieves, we sail as we please
Hunting for treasure again
For on the Sea of Thieves, we are all free
Be the pirate you want to be
Be the pirate you want to be!
