An exhausted Sora and Bow let out a yawn as they struggled to watch Princess Entrapta work. The day and night had already gone by with the sun rising on a new day, and not once did they get a chance to stop. The small Princess was still riding high on her excitement, putting Sora's usual endless energy to utter shame. Bow, who started out nearly as excited she, had puttered out and was almost dead to the world.

Sora has finally had enough of this. "That's it! We've been at this for...over 17 hours straight?! Really?! Alright, we ARE taking a break now!"

Bow raised his drooping eyes up and mumbled, "Finally someone said something."

"We need to take a rest from this, Entrapta."

It looked like she barely paid them any mind. "Uh-huh, okay, that's fine. Come back whenever. Aside from holding my things, you guys weren't that useful anyway." In the beginning, she had placed too much faith into Sora's knowledge of the Gummi Ship and its inner workings. She was majorly disappointed in the end results of that path.

"For the last time, I'm sorry! I said from the very start that I didn't know how to fix the thing, that's why we needed your help."

"You said that you knew how to fly this thing, you can hardly work the controls during simulated testing!"

"And I said that before I started my new adventure, they updated the controls and changed things up. That's how we crashed, we didn't get a chance to figure out the new controls as we were trying to escape a wormhole! Everything totally got changed up from before!"

Bow closed his eyes and covered his ears, "Can we please not do this again?! It was hard to deal with it when I was fresh and ready, now I'm ready to drop!"

"Whatever, just go take your naps, I'll still be here working." She turned around and got back to work.

Sora pointed his finger at her, "Oh no! You need to stop and take a break more than anyone else! I mean, how are you not tired yet?!"

"How can I be tired with all this excitement and ground breaking discoveries all over the place?!" Entrapta threw her arms in the air.

"You hardly touched any of the food and drinks they brought us!" Bow added.

"They hardly suited my refined pallet!"

"They were made by Bright Moon's best royal chefs!"

"But did you see how large and ordinary they were?! They weren't even animal shaped or miniature!"

Sora joined back into the fray. "And another thing, Bow and I took, like, four bathroom breaks each. We've never seen you leave the ship yet, don't you have to go?!"

She put her hands at her hip, "I'll have you know that I have taken three bathroom breaks. I just didn't have to leave like you guys had to!"

The two looked a little disturbed by that. "Wait, are you saying that somewhere in this cramped space is your…" Bow started to ask.

"My private business, yes! Man up and get over it!"

"So that's what that smell was...AND THERE'S NO SINK IN HERE! I think I'm gonna barf!" Bow ran out of the ship.

Sora facepalmed at that before pulling at his face. "Okay, that settles it! We are all going to take a big step away from all this chaos, observe at how crazy some of this is, and then get some sleep!"

"Yes, like I said, good luck with that. I'll still be here working."

He crossed his arms, "Nope, that means you too! Whether you want to or not!"

The Princess rolled her eyes at that, "Oh, and what is that supposed to mean? You're gonna force me to…" She stared at Sora for three full seconds, "Uh-oh."

From behind the bushes, Bow was wiping his mouth as he heard the struggle. The nearby guards heard the screaming and yelling as well. They all got a little closer to the ship.

"NO!"

"STOP!"

"CEASE AND DESIST!"

"MORE WORDS!"

"LEAVE ME ALONE!"

"THERE IS TOO MUCH WORK TO BE DONE!"

"GAHHH-MMMHHMMPHMMmmhphm!"

The shouting finally came to a stop before Sora emerged with the Princess tied up with her own hair, gagged and all. Her attempts at flailing to escape was useless as she tried to scream.

He hoisted her over one shoulder before using his free hand to pump, "Did it! I won! I'm the greatest around!"

"Great, what do we do with her now?" Bow asked.

"We make her take a break, duh" he answered as though it was so obvious.

Another muffled scream was let out by Entrapta, "I don't think she's gonna be able to relax at all and enjoy." Bow let out a sigh, "I don't know man, maybe we should her go and get back to work."

He looked incredulously at him, "She was pooping inside the ship!"

The nearby guards weren't too sure how to react to a Princess technically being captured. Even more so to hear that she was doing something so disgusting and unrefined. One of them spoke up, "Should...we notify the Queen or Princess Glimmer of this?" she asked.

Bow let out a yawn, "That's it. I'm giving up. I'm going to bed now."

Entrapta managed to get her balled up hair out of her mouth, "VIVA LA REVOLUTION!"

"YOU ARE GOING TO GET A PROPER MEAL AND NAP! BUT FIRST YOU'RE GONNA TELL ME WHERE YOU HID YOUR DIRTY BUSINESS!"

"NEVEEEER!"

The two guards looked to each other, "They're insane!"

"BOW!"

The young archer looked up as he trudged his feet through the hallways. He hardly reacted when Glimmer appeared by his side. "Hey Glimmer" he got out before he yawned.

"Bow, where were you yesterday? You disappeared on me, that's my thing!" she joked, but was quick to notice the circles starting to appear around his eyes. "Whoa, are you okay, what happened?"

Bow yawned again, "I was with Princess Entrapta and Sora ever since we got back. I just now escaped and I desperately need to get to my bed." He yawned again. "What about you? How did things go over with your mom?"

Glimmer blinked twice in surprise, "Wow, that was almost a whole twenty four hours ago, geez. So, um, things went surprisingly better than expected. Mom got mad, of course, but get this...I'm not grounded!"

Bow's right eyebrow shot up, "Huh? You got off the hook?!"

"I know, I think mom's getting more and more impressed with us...though I did leave out the bit where She-Ra went berserk and all that, heh heh." He crossed his arms and gave the smaller Princess the look. "What?! It would only freak mom out over nothing. The disc is destroyed so there is no chance that Adora would go crazy again. Honestly, telling her would have caused more problems than anything else!"

"Ah-huh, so she received your mission report and when the time came to tell her everyone's statues, what happened when she got to Adora?"

"Nothing! I told her an embarrassing incident happened and Adora wanted to be left alone for a little bit."

Bow let out one more yawn. "Yup, I've reached my limit for today. FYI, Sora captured Entrapta and is trying to put her down for a nap. Just a heads up if things get crazy, well, crazier."

A thought came up, "Oh, wait! One more thing Bow, tomorrow we're having another meeting in the war room. Noon as always."

"Rodger" Bow yawned.

Glimmer stood alone in the hallway for a moment in thought, She was on her way to check in on Adora, but what Bow mentioned made her a little concerned. "I'd better check in on Sora and Entrapta" she sighed.

A quick blink to the courtyard later, she made her way to the two guards huddled together. "Okay, where are they?" she asked, knowing they knew who she was referring to.

The two guards stood up straight and saluted, "Right behind us Princess, but you just missed Young Master Bow. He just-"

"Yeah, yeah, he filled me in already." She looked around them and saw a collapsed Sora and Princess Entrapta. A struggle was clearly evident as the smaller girl was held tightly by her hairy bounds and in Sora's arms, but they both looked to be asleep from the accumulated exhaustion. It was a little disturbing to see them both drooling the way they were though. "What the heck happened?"

"Princess Entrapta was putting up much resistance after Master Sora insisted on her taking a much needed break. And it is just how it looks like, they both collapsed and fell asleep in the middle of their struggle."

Glimmer pinched the bridge of her nose, "Can we get someone to take them to their room to sleep in? Please?"

"Yes Princess, I'll also find someone to run, umm, clean up, inside of the ship as well."

She raised an eyebrow, "Cleanup?"

The guard bowed to her, "Please, Princess, I think it would be best for all parties to keep the event of what's transpired die in secrecy."

"Um, yikes? Okay, you guys do what you think is best then. I think I have to update mooo-er, the Queen."

Adora jumped when she heard a loud knock on her door, wishing to be left alone still, she ignored it in hopes to convey her request. The door knocked again. Sighing, she got up and answered the door and was surprised to see a guard.

"Um, yes?"

"Beg the intrusion, but we were told that you had a preference to have him as your, er, bunkmate." She stepped aside to reveal another guard carrying a sleeping Sora. "Is that his station there?" She gestured to the foldout set up near Adora's bed.

"Um, yeah. Wait, what? What happened?"

"Princess Entrapta with Young Master Sora and Bow worked themselves to exhaustion while repairing the ship."

"Wait, didn't they start that yesterday? They only now just stopped?" Adora thought aloud.

"That is indeed the case. May we?"

"Uh, yeah, I guess." She watched the two dispose Sora on his foldout bunk before excusing themselves from the room. "Was wondering where you were...so um, are you awake?" Adora poked him a few times on the cheek.

A snort was his only response.

"Okay then." She sat down on her bed while looking at the boy. A bottled up feeling that's been suffocating her lately quickly resurfaced on her mind. A terrible feeling and thought that wouldn't leave her be, something she's been too afraid to admit to anyone yet, but she has to say it to someone. This might be the perfect opportunity to speak out safely.

"So, Sora, what happened after the battle of Dryl, pretty embarrassing, right? I mean, whoa, I've only ever heard of people describing drunks before, but seeing one for the first time, watching me no less, weeeird. Can't remember even a shred of it, heh, heh. Soooo...really scary, how I lost all control of myself and tried to, you know, kill you, Glimmer and Entrapta. Actually, really, really terrifying...yeah." She looked at Sora, he was still sleeping away. Adora sighed.

"I mean, really, one moment I was jumping on top of a crazy machine to put a stop to that painful sound, the next moment it's been a whole day later and you guys show me a recording of me on a killer rampage! I mean, did you see me?! The look on my face!" She rubbed her face before taking another deep breathe. "I looked just like the propaganda they forced fed me back in the Horde. 'Mad, power-crazy Princess that will kill you, everyone and everything without a second thought. Kill them before they can kill you with their out of control magic powers!' I literally became the monster I grew up fearing. Worse yet, I was trying to kill my best friends. I know it was because of that First One's Disk, but what if it happens again?! What if there are other First One's Tech just laying around that can make me go crazy again?! Worse yet, if the Horde finds out and they get their hands on it?! Sora, what if you're not there in time to stop me from...killing someone?" Adora finally expressed the fears that was eating away at her.

"I don't know what to think or do. I'm She-Ra. I'm supposed to be the one person that's supposed to protect everyone, not be the one that ends up killing everyone. I'm...terrified of myself right now!" She covered her face, she could feel out tears welling up in her eyes. She did her best to reel it in. "I wish someone could give me the answers I need for this. I don't want to lose who and what I am, and turn into a mindless monster. Who am I even supposed to even go to for advice on any of this?!"

*Snoooooooooore*

Adora couldn't help but crack a small smile in amusement. Saying it out loud finally made her feel a little bit better, though oddly, a little worse at the same time. "Good talk, I guess." She let out another sigh as she laid back and tried to close her eyes again.

*GROWL* Sora cracked an eye open, "Uhh, hungry. Need. Food." He tried to roll himself off his stomach, but ended up falling flat on the ground. "Ouch." Picking himself back up, Sora dusted himself off as he looked around the room. He was back in the room he and Adora shared. "Huh, when did I get back here? What was I doing again?"

The door opened and Adora walked in with a plate of food. "Oh, you're finally up? I was just bringing back some dinner in case you woke up hungry."

Sora's eyes widened, "Oh boy! You're timing couldn't be any more perfect!" He ran up and took the plate from her hands. It was mostly loaded with steamed vegetables, but there were some slices of meat. Good enough for him! Taking it to a small table, he started to dig in. He managed to ask before his mouth was too full, "So what happened? Totally can't remember what I was even doing!"

"You, Bow and Entrapta kind of worked yourselves into the ground. Glimmer told me Bow barely made it to his room, and that you and Entrapta both passed out in the courtyard."

Sora smiled as he remembered, "Oh yeah, crazy!" He paused for a moment as he really remembered, "Oh yeah, crazy" he grimaced.

"Heh, what's with that face?"

"Entrapta is, um, wow. I don't even know if I want to say it out loud?"

Adora came over and nudged him, "Oh come on, she can't be that bad? She's so small, and she doesn't have an army of robots to go crazy on us. What could she have possibly done?"

Sora rolled his eyes, "Ugh, how long ago did you eat?"

"Finished finished not even ten minutes ago. I, um, finally got out of my room. Thought I should get it over with and see everybody."

"You were hiding in your room?" Sora took a large bite of food, "Why?"

Adora's cheek blushed, "Cause I was super embarrassed with how I was acting after the fight at Entrapta's Castle...among other things" she mumbled in the end.

Sora waved it off, "Who cares, I've seen loopier. Like this one time, I hit my head so hard, I'm still loopy to this day! How else do you explain me?"

That managed to rile a laugh out of her, "Shut up, yeah right." She sat across from Sora, "I hope you're ready for tomorrow, I have no idea how you're gonna sleep again so soon. There's another meeting tomorrow, so we're probably gonna get assigned a mission."

Sora stretched into a yawn. "It's kay. Sleeping has NEVER been a problem for me." He looked at his empty plate, tempted to lick it clean. "If I didn't get hungry, I'd probably sleep till noon tomorrow."

Adora crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow, "Wow, you're actually a bit of a lazy bum, aren't you?"

He gave into temptation and licked to plate clean, "Yup, totally!" Sora stood up, "I'm gonna run to the kitchen and see what else I can eat. Did you want anything?"

"No, I think I'm gonna wash up real quick and then go to sleep."

"Sure, I'll knock to make sure your decent before I come back inside. You'll be awake still, right?" Seeing Adora nod, he turned to the door, but paused. "Hmmm?"

"Is something wrong?"

"Yeah, but I don't know why?" Sora turned back around before setting the plate down. He walked up to Adora before giving her a soft hug.

She blushed profusely, "Uhh, what?! What are you doing?!"

"I'm not too sure why, but I have this little voice in my head telling me that you needed a hug and let you know not to worry. That everything will be alright."

Adora's face turned crimson, "Uhhhhhhhh"

Sore let go before giving her a gentle pat on the back and picked up his plate. "Welp, I'll be back when I'm done eating...whenever that will be?!" he joked. He turned and walked out the door without another word spoken between the two.

Adora was already in her bed when she heard a knock on the door. She closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep as she heard Sora let himself in before pausing, then slowly trying to tip toe to his bunk. She wasn't sure how to respond to Sora's actions earlier, it'd be better to brush it off for now and ignore it. She wasn't ready to talk to anyone about her concerns and worries, not yet.

*Snooooooore*

'Wow, he's asleep already?! He wasn't kidding!'

The stroke of noon had arrived the next day and everyone was assembled for another meeting of the Generals. As always, the Queen of Brightmoon began, "Council, we are in need of strengthening our defenses against the Horde. Now that Princess Entrapta has joined our cause, we have a stronger technological presence, but we cannot let ourselves be too dependent on that alone. Does anyone have anything to bring forward?"

Glimmer's hand shot up like an eager schoolgirl wanting to prove herself in the classroom. "Me! Me, me, me me!"

Queen Angella let out a sigh, "Anyone else besides Glimmer?" No one else raised their hand still. Glimmer was still holding her hand up, soon using her other hand to help support it. The Queen began to rub the bridge of her nose. "No suggestions from anyone?" Sora picked his hand up. "Yes, Sora?"

"Um, I think Glimmer would like to share?"

Letting out one more sigh, she answered "Yes Glimmer?"

"Mom!- Er, uh, Your Majesty. I would like to request that my team and I continue to recruit for the Princess Alliance. We'd be not only bolstering our army's numbers, but we'll be assembling a multipurpose team of powerful individuals loyal to the cause."

"Glimmer, we've been over this. The last Princess Alliance failed and everyone chose to focus on safeguarding only their lands. You reported to me how difficult it was to recruit Princess Perfuma, and it seems it was completely dependent on Princess Entrapta's fascination with Sora and his ship for her to join at all. Speaking of whom, why is she not present for her first council meeting?"

Bow raised his hand, "Um, actually, there was a bit of an issue we had yesterday. She seems to have worked herself past her breaking point and is still asleep from exhaustion while working on Sora's ship."

"Yes, yes, Glimmer spoke to me yesterday. I would have thought she'd be back on her feet by now."

"Sorry, Your Majesty. She's still out of it. She worked really hard. Got really out of hand, actually" Bow scratched the back of his head uncomfortably.

The Queen nodded in understanding, knowing Entrapta's character. "Any chance that a device is in the works to help detect the missing pieces of the ship?"

"I don't think so, not yet."

"Mom please! Er, Your Majesty, sorry." Glimmer corrected herself again, "We have factor's working for our advantage: She-Ra and Sora. I'm not ready to give up on it yet, I really do think it's a good and viable plan. All I'm proposing is a diplomatic mission."

Queen Angella relented, "Very well, what did you have in mind?"

The Princess activated the table's holoprojector, "Anyone that tries to approach Brightmoon by sea needs to pass through the Salineas Sea Gate. According to the most recent news I've heard, it's now controlled by Princess Mermista with her parents suddenly retiring. If we can recruit her to our side, not only would we be effectively safeguarding ourselves from naval attacks, but the sea would be to our advantage." Glimmer gave her mother a serious look, "We need this Alliance, mom."

Sora made a gesture, showing that his mind was blown. "Wow, that plan is amazing! When did you think of all that? Can we do it?" He looked to the Queen.

She momentarily looked impressed as well, but she was quick to look crestfallen. "The journey there has been known to be very treacherous. I'm not too sure about this."

"Don't worry mom!" Glimmer stood up and gestured to Adora and Sora, "With She-Ra and the Keyblade on our side, we can conquer anything!"

Sora leaned into Spinnerella's ear and whispered something that made her giggle. She turned to her fellow Princess and partner, Nettossa, and passed on the message, getting the same reaction.

Adora leaned in a chimed in for the first time in a modest voice, "And, uh, we're gonna need a boat."

Glimmer corrected herself, "With these two, and a boat, we can conquer anything!"

"And an experienced sea captain" Bow inserted as well.

Glimmer let out an exasperated sigh, "With these two, a boat, and an experienced sea captain, we can conquer anything!" She put on the most forced smile any of them had ever seen, they were a little worried her cheeks would rip out. "Anything else?"

Sora lifted a finger up, "To be honest, most would think that the boat and the captain would come hand in hand, right?" Glimmer facepalmed.

Queen Angella couldn't help but smile at the four's antics, "Very well, your mission has been granted."

Glimmer jumped up and cheered before teleporting on to her mother's lap for a moment to give her a quick peck on the cheek before returning to her seat.

"I mean it Glimmer, no violence and no collateral damage" she spoke in a stern voice.

Said Princess pulled Sora out of his seat before shoving him towards Adora and Bow. "Thanks mom, you won't regret it!"

Sora looked panicked before calling out to the room, "That's three!" He managed before Glimmer teleported them all away.

Queen Angella let out another tired sigh before looking to the two remaining Princesses. "I'm curious, what did Sora whisper to you two?"

Spinnerella covered her mouth and barely hid a giggle as Nettossa answered. "He counted two times where Princess Glimmer forgot to not call you 'mom.' Just now he counted a third time."

Her Majesty rolled her eyes and smiled.

After traveling for a few long hours, the four finally made it to the port town of Seaworthy. Safe to say that the boys were more than a little excited.

"Oh man, this is so cool! This place is everything I imagined it to be! It's like everyone here is an actual swashbuckling pirate!" Bow looked at everyone with sparkling eyes.

Glimmer put a hand on his shoulder, "Bow, focus-" she began, but was immediately pushed aside by Sora.

"What do you mean like a pirate? You got one traveling with you this entire time!"

Bow's hands went straight to his face, "No. Way. You were a pirate?!"

Sora puffed his chest out, "That's right! Once crewed for the legendary pirate, Captain Jack Sparrow! Together we sailed the high seas, looking for booty and breaking ancient pirate curses."

Bow drooled a little, "So cool" he squeaked.

Glimmer reached up and pulled down on both of their ears. "Hey guys, remember: we're here to hire a sea captain!"

"No pirates?" they both moaned.

"No pirates."

"Dude, you never mentioned you were part of a pirate crew before" Bow whispered to him.

"There is a lot I haven't gotten to telling you guys yet!"

Adora paid only a little attention to them as she scouted the room for any possible candidates. "I don't know, this place looks like a bust. None of these people look qualified to sail a ship."

Sora popped into her vision, "Do I look qualified?"

She scratched her cheek, "Not really, no."

"Then we better start asking around instead of looking, cause I totally know how to sail!"

"You know how to sail, too?!" Bow started to get excited again.

"Yeah...I mean, sort of. I've seen Jack do it all the time and helped with the process. I think I've got it figured out." Bow and Adora's head dropped at.

Glimmer moved forward to speak with the tough looking barkeeper. "Excuse me, sir?" Sora slid by her and quickly whispered in her ear, "Ma'am! So sorry!" she corrected herself. The burly barkeeper with a strap across her chest and shoulder looked at her with mild annoyance, but didn't say anything. Glimmer blushed as she put on her best smile, "We're looking looking for a captain that could take us to Salineas."

She gestured to the corner where a small crowd was gathered. It appeared an arm wrestling challenge was underway between a green lizard man and a handsome, if roguish, man that looked every part of a sea captain. The mustached man was swift to take his victory.

"Ah-ha! Once more I've won again! My new friend here will be happy to get drinks for everyone! On his tab of course."

The crowd soon dispersed with his victory. They all took that as their cue to go see him. Glimmer took the lead. "Hi, we were told you were a sea captain?"

"Ah, yes, perhaps you have heard of me and my reputation? I am the one and only Captain Sea Hawk! A pleasure to meet you all" he greeted boastfully.

Bow let out a long gasp, "Your name is actually Sea Hawk? That's the coolest name I've ever heard!"

"I think Jack Sparrow sounds cooler" Sora mumbled to himself.

Glimmer not so subtly smacked them both in the arm before turning and posed a professional look. "Captain Sea Hawk, we are interviewing potential sea captains to take us to Salineas. Would you like to apply for the position?"

The captain began to laugh, "Didn't you hear me before? I am the one and only Captain Sea Hawk! I, alone, am offer only."

Adora butted her way forward, "Okay, just because 'Sea' is in your name doesn't give us any insight into your actual qualifications! Want to give us a little more to work with?"

"Qualifications?" he scoffed, "I once ran the fifty-klick Galebreath Gauntlet in less than twenty klicks! I maneuvered the Serpentine with nary a chip in the paint of my bow! Even my shanties are considered so desirable that sirens fling themselves into the sea at the sound of them! And I only say this because I've noticed the look your archer is giving, and yes, my mustache is naturally shiny."

Bow looked like he was about to drop to his knees and worship the man as his new idol. "He's so cool! AND HIS MUSTACHE IS SHINY! You're hired!"

Glimmer elbowed him in his side. She turned to Sora, "Sora, you've sailed under highly acclaimed sailors and pirates. What do you think?"

He shrugged, "These are very different waters from what I've been near. Aside from the shanties and the shiny facial hair, which I don't find that impressive, I can't really judge."

Sea Hawk looked a little hurt at that last comment as he gently patted and combed his mustache. He shook it off, "I think you all are getting a little ahead of yourselves. What makes you think you can afford me? Even more so with my recent expenses."

The Princess waved it off, "I assure you, money is no object."

There was a suspicious glint in the captain's eyes as he pulled out a slip of paper and slid it over. "My fee."

Sora, Adora and Bow all peer over her shoulder as she turned the paper over and they all gasped. "Is that your phone number, or are there really that many digits to you price?!" Sora asked aloud.

Glimmer looked nervous as she answered "Money might be an object."

Sora threw his hands behind his head, "Maybe we should try to find someone else. All we really need is a boat and a map. It can't be that hard to get there?"

Captain Sea Hawk let out another laugh, "Good luck finding someone willing to do that. The way to Salineas is treacherous. I would know, for I brave it all the time to see my close and personal friend, one time lover even, Princess Mermista."

"Wait, you really know her?" Glimmer was pulled back in.

"Do I? Can you imagine anyone else besides myself that can charm a Princess so easily?"

Bow held his cheeks to keep his jaw from falling, "So cool."

That's when Adora mosied down over to the table and challenged him, "Oh, okay, I see how it is. Think you're all that, do ya? How about this: One round of arm wrestling, winner takes all. You win, we leave you alone. We win, you take us to Salineas...also at no cost."

Sora face palmed himself, "That's a terrible deal, he's never going to go for that."

Sea Hawk looked at him, "Really, he's right, that is a terrible deal. How about this...you beat me, and you pay what you think is reasonably priced. I do have some expenses I need to cover after all. You also have to do me a favor once we get to Salineas, I was on my way their anyway."

"A favor?" Glimmer began to ask.

"Nothing big, I assure you of that. Just something that my charming personality and skills can't do alone is all."

The four looked at each other and nodded before huddling together. Glimmer began, "So yeah we're gonna do it. The only question is who do we send to arm wrestle?"

Bow answered, "Sora, obviously, he's way stronger than Adora when she isn't She-Ra."

Said Adora let out a grunt, "Whatever, fine."

"Actually" Sora inserted, "I want to send Adora in. She's still pretty strong, and I really want to see the look on his arrogant face when he loses to a girl."

Adora raised an eyebrow, "What does me being a girl have to do with anything?"

"Because he seems the type that his ego would get hurt even more so because of it."

Adora and Glimmer smiled mischievously in agreement, Bow tried to defend the sea captain. "Aw c'mon, sure he's a little egotistical and arrogant, but that's because he's so cool."

"Yeah, there's something about him that rubs me the wrong way. He's just nothing like Captain Jack Sparrow. Like I want to compare him when talking to Sea Hawk, but it just leads to disappointment."

Glimmer nodded at him, "I agree with Sora, I want to see the look on his face after Adora destroys him!"

"Oh yeah, I'll put him in his place alright." They broke apart and approached the captain, "Sea Hawk, you got yourself a deal. One round, you and me!"

"Aha! Prepare yourself to join the club of those who thought they could defeat the one and only Captain Sea Hawk!"

"Well, here she is, welcome aboard to the Dragon's Daughter IV!" Sea Hawk introduced his ship with his very bruised hand.

Sora paused as he thought before counting four fingers, "Wait, Dragon's Daughter IV?"

Adora continued the thought, "So what happened to Dragon's Daughters one through three?"

The sea captain looked a little crestfallen, "They sadly went down in flames, most recently costing me two of the best crew members I've ever had the pleasure to work with."

Glimmer gasped as she covered her mouth, "Oh no! What happened? Was it the Horde?!"

Sea Hawk puffed his chest out, "Well, I set the ship on fire, and my crew quit on me because of it. I mean, who else is talented enough to sink my ship except for...well, me?" Everyone's jaw dropped at the statement. "Remember the favor I asked of you? Well, those two brave souls were some of the best men that crewed for me, and what I want you all to do is try to convince them to rejoin me on the Dragon's Daughter IV. They should still be in Salineas, so if everything goes right, everyone will be a winner. Now…" the captain swung himself to the bow of the ship, "TO ADVENTURE!"

A/N: Another Chapter has arrived! I've been on a roll lately, pretty great. Be sure to leave a review to let me know what you think of the latest chapter!
