Possible Titles: Master of the Seas; MLP Version, Thunder Strike Singing, Thunder Strike Villain Song Trial

Premise: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. My OC, Thunder Strike, and his associates captures the mane six to torture them by doing the most evil thing they can think of... SINGING! Slight Songfic. Song: "Master of the Seas" from Ice Age: Continential Drift. I do NOT own this song or profit from this story.

Personal Comments: In one of my MLP stories, there's one chapter where my OC villain, Thunder Strike, and a bunch of his friends are trying to think of a good villain song, so they take a bunch of classic villain songs and customize the lyrics a bit. One of the songs they sing is "Master of the Seas" from Ice Age 4.

I thought that was an awesome villain song! Very catchy. I don't even mind that it was in an Ice Age movie (since it was pirates singing it, and it was the only song in the movie).

Thunder Strike in a nutshell: He's a corrupt guard on the Canterlot Royal Guard Force who wants to kill Celestia and take her throne. This is like a warm-up for the actual chapter (which actually isn't going to come up for a long time).

You know, I would not be surprised if in the canon, if they eventually came up with some pirate themed characters or an episode. I can see that happening. Maybe we will see such a thing in Season 3. I wonder what kind of song they would sing in that episode...

Twilight Sparkle slowly opened her eyes She saw that she was on the deck of a ship. A bunch of other ponies, dressed as pirates, were on the deck laughing and dancing together, and snacking on apples and carrots. There was also a huge pile of carrots and apples and other treats at the bow. She recognized Trixie among them.

Twilight tried to move, but she could not. She found out that she was tied to the mast.

"Huh? What the hay?" She grunted.

"Twilight!" Rarity's voice whispered. "My word, is that you?"

"Rarity?"

"I'm right next to you!"

"Girls? Well doggone it, am I happy to hear your voices!" Apple Jack's voice from the other side whispered.

"What is going on? Where are we?"

"I have no idea."

"Oh, you guys are awake!" Pinkie Pie's voice squeaked loudly.

"Pinkie! Not so loud!" Rainbow Dash snapped.

The first three looked up to see Pinkie and Rainbow tied together on an outward-pointing mast.

Finally, they looked down and saw Fluttershy tied to a final large mast.

"Hey, look, they're awake!" One of the other pirate poinies called over.

"Someone tell the captain!" Another sneered.

As Twilight looked them over, she started to recognize them. She noticed that they were all unicorns. In fact, she had seen them as guards of the palace in Canterlot. What were they doing here? Why were they doing this?

Her questions were about to be answered. A bolt of lightning struck the deck right before her (making Rarity yelp in fear), and suddenly appeared a brown-furred unicorn with red eyes, a black mane, and wearing a pirate captain's hat and red coat.

"Mornin' my dear!" He said. "Did you sleep well?"

Twilight was shocked. She knew this colt. "Thunder Strike?"

"In the fur, babe!"

Twilight became furious, so did Rarity and Apple Jack.

"What is going on here? What are you doing?" Twilight Demanded.

"Yes, I demand some explanation!" Rarity added.

"Hi Thunder Strike!" Pinkie Pie squeaked. "Why are you all dressed as pirates? Are you guys pirates now?"

"You all seem lost, scared, confused," Thunder continued. "Allow me to explain."

"You let me out of these ropes and I'll explain something to you!" Rainbow Dash snapped.

Thunder Strike slid over to his crew, and pointed to one.

"Divine Light!" He barked gleefully, "Play us on!"

"Aye-Aye, sir!" One unicorn pulled out an accordion and started playing it with his magic to a bouncy tune. The other pony pirates started dancing around to it.

"Alright!" Smirked another unicorn named Metal Jacket. "Finally, time for a villain song!"

"Yeah! Finally some screen time!" Snarled Fire Bolt.

"Don't get carried away, guys," Ink Blot stammered.

And so the song began.

Thunder: Here you are on a boat

You're adrift, your afloat

One might even say you're stuck.

Well I'm not one to gloat,

But I would like to note

That you're in luck!

You've been saved by the Bane who rules these islands,

So forget about your friends and husbands!

First mare introduce me to them pleeeeeeeaaase!

Trixie: Aye-Aye, Captain Strike!

He's a big and scary,

Fire Bolt: Elegant and hairy,

Triumph: Fear inspiring,

Metal Jacket: Years to retiring,

Thundering Ox: Looting, stealing,

Ink Blot: Cold, unfeeling,

Crew: Undisputed Master of the Seas!

Fluttershy: Oh, Jeez!

Thunder: That's me!

Crew: It's he!

Thunder: That's me!

Crew: It's he!

Thunder: That's me!

Crew: It's he!

Thunder: Okay, okay.

Storm Break: (Brief Flute Solo)

Thunder: I'm a pirate pony pioneer,

And these are my brave buccaneers,

All of whom were once lost souls like you!

Crew: It's true!

Storm Break: He rescued us!

Triumph: He saved our hides!

Ink Blot: For that we owe our lives to Strike!

And assuming he doesn't kill you,

Crew: You will owe him toooooo!

Thunder: (Speaking) Kill them? What me? No, no way! Not these beautiful little creatures. (He rubs a hoof against Rarity's face)

Rarity: Ugh! Mind your boundries, will you?

Thunder: Alright, back to the song.

(Singing Again)

Here we are on a ship,

Moving at quite a clip

Toward the ever-setting sun.

Trixie: Come along on the trip.

Divine Light: That's hint.

Metal Jacket: That's a tip.

Fire Bolt: That sounds like fun!

Thunder and Trixie:

In a world that's going under,

To survive you must learn to plunder.

Thunder: Luckily that's my field of expertiiiiiiise!

Blot: He's the best!

Divine Light and Triumph: He's a robbing, thieving-

Twilight: We really should be leaving.

Thundering Ox: Weapon throwin'-

Apple Jack: We gotta get goin'.

Metal Jacket: Pinkie slaying-

Pinkie: Wish we could be staying.

Crew: Undisputed, uncontested,

Pony-suited-

Thunder: Yeah, you guessed it!

Whole Crew: Master of the seeeeaaaas!

Rainbow: Oh, please!

Thunder: That's me!

Crew: It's he!

Thunder: That's me!

Crew: It's he!

Thunder: That's who?

Crew: It's you!

Thunder: Just testing, I knew.

It's Meeeee!

"Great song, sir!" Metal Jacket sneered. The song was over. By now, Ink Blot and Trixie were holding up Thunder Strike as though they were his throne. The rest of the crew was standing back in a chorus.

"So what do you think, ladies?" Thunder Strike asked as he stood up.

The mane six were silent for a moment, but then Pinkie Pie started clapping.

"Whoo! Great song!" She cheered.

After another moment, Twilight spoke up. "That's your villain song? That's the song you're going to be singing for your big bad guy debut?"

"Nah," Thunder answered. "I just can't decided on one song to sing, so I'm gonna sing a dozen. I just thought I'd give this one a test-run.

"Why?" Ink Blot asked. "You don't like it?"

"No no!" Twilight shook her head. "It's not that."

"It was really catchy in Ice Age 4," Apple Jack added.

"I thought you guys were pretty good," Fluttershy said. "All the lines were divided up pretty well, and the choreography was flashy. The only thing is your crew... well nobody knows anything about them yet."

"Don't you worry about that!" Metal Jacket nodded. "The readers will learn more about us soon enough."

"And for your plot, wouldn't you say Be Prepared would be a more fitting song for you to sing?" Rarity asked. "I mean, it's about killing a monarch and taking the throne. Isn't that what your plan is in the long run?"

"Yes, it is," Blot nodded. "That is actually another one of the songs we were gonna sing."

"Or how about this?" Rainbow Dash said. "Why don't you come up with your OWN villain song instead of ripping off others?"

"Rainbow Dash, my dear," Thunder answered, "We all know Villain84 isn't talented or clever enough to write an original song."

"Hey, Trixie, why are you even here?" Twilight asked.

"Thunder needed a female here so he could appropriatly use the 'first mare' pun." Trixie answered.

"But Villain84 hasn't even seen you yet. How does he know how to use you?" Rainbow asked.

"He doesn't." Trixie replied. "He hasn't even decided if he's going to use me in the final cut of the chapter, or in the story at all."

"Um... You know," Fluttershy whispered. "Compared to 'This Day Aria', this song is pretty lame."

"She's right." Twilight added. "Chrysalis' song was just so much more threatening and evil somehow."

"She does have a point Thunder," Blot nodded. "You have to give Chrysalis credit for a threatening villain song."

Thunder Strike gritted his teeth and started trembling in anger.

"I am so sick of bronies talking about Chrysalis!" He spat. "She's half the villain Discord is!"

"But Chrysalis actually did things," Twilight said. "All Discord ever did was play his mind games with ponies." She rolled her eyes as she remembered how annoying those games were.

"But then why was Discord so popular with the fans?" Thunder demanded. "Why were so many memes made up around him?"

"Because his appearance is ludicrous!" Rarity snapped. "He's a joke!"

"SHUT UP!" Thunder shrieked. His horn glowed with trembling rage. Dark storm clouds formed in the skies above. And suddenly, a great bolt of lightning shot down from the heavens, accompanied by a clap of thunder, and struck the boat, disintegrating it and everyone on it.
