"We need to stick together for a bit, I have a little troan hirse snuck onto thier boat. I bribed somepony who clearly worked for the pony and the bits were enchanted with a basic but highly camouflaged tracking spell. Mirror Image will be tracking that bag full time. They cannot escape."

@@RainbowDashie,

Hurricane flew after Thunder and examined his ship. It was pretty big with all those cannons. "With all that firepower, this thing proabably goes what? 2mph?" she said staring at the cannons. "Although, no doubt it wouldn't have a hard time taking down a ship with a few less cannons. No way it can catch up with a fast ship with far less cannons." Hurricane talking to herself out loud. "Anyway, show me your crew." She said. she was slightly nervous about about how the crew would react. Would the find out she's a mare, would they make fun of her for looking like one? Hurricane just puffed out her chest and raised her head. she looked back to see the coal dust was still on her tail.

[RainbowDashie 767]

@, 

Thunder smiled and walked on board. "You'd be surprised on how fast she goes. Aye, she would be faster with less cannons, but i couldn't inflict so much damage with less either. Sailing a royal flag to get close helps too." Thunder said, waiting for Hurricane to get on board.

Gloom followed the stallion  he spat on leave the bar. When he did he saw a familiar face. He could hear him talking to another pony about selling him his ship. Gloom couldn't help but laugh a little. He walked over to the ponies and rest a hoof around the young pony's neck like they were buddies. While looking at the other. "I wouldn't take this deal if I were you. This scalawag is just trying to dump his marked ship on you cause it's on the top of every hunter and the royal navy's list. Ain't that right, Arcane Raider?"

"I don't know what you're talking about. It's just a little banged up and I have somewhere I need to be. Rather not sail on a damaged ship."

 

Blixer turned to the unresponsive pony and smashed his head against the bar, letting out a huff of frustration.

 

@@HunterTSN

 

He poked the pony with his hoof and realized that he was in a daze, probably intoxicated.

 

"Damn it. Here, forget I said anything. And stay clear of RPF officers. They don't like drunks any more than I do."

 

He left the pony 250 of the bits from Keltzer. Then he turned to the pony who'd interrupted him and said, "Here, don't trouble yourself with this Arcane Raider. He sounds like someone who wouldn't want to be bothered."

 

He tossed him the other 250 bits and walked out of the tavern. He was running out of time and couldn't fool around with this any longer. His best chance now was to just try to sail out of the harbor. With any luck, he might just make it.

 

 

He walked up to the ship and saw that the figurehead was smashed, barely distinguishable. But it sure did stand out like a sore thumb.

 

Well, at least Mirror Quake can't prove this is my ship.

 

He walked up to the deck. "No luck Ash," he announced. "I'm glad to see you're making progress here."

 

"I don't like this one bit Captain," Ash said. "Mirror Quake's been all over here, walking along the docks. He doesn't seem to be doing anything, just walking."

 

Blixer narrowed his eyes. "But I just saw him in the tavern! How could he be down here too?"

 

Soren hovered over to them. "Projections," he concluded. "Mirror Quake's got someone projecting him all over town. He probably is trying to scare us, force us to make a bad move."

 

Blixer smiled. "Is that so? Well Ash, you've got the figurehead removed, so we aren't identifiable. We might draw a little attention, but nothing here will indicate who we are. We'll sail for Seaddle. Finish repairs there, restock, then we'll attack that ship before it leaves the Pellagic Sea."

 

Blixer turned to Ash. "Set sail immediately," he ordered.

[dusk shade 206]

Rampart watched as the Arcane Raider wwas set to sail from his helm. "Hoist the anchor. Hoist the colors. Follow that scoundrel. But...leave it's destruction to Mirrorquake, am I crystal clear"? The crew answer was a roar of "aye-ayes" and "yes, sirs" as the Unity Blade prepared to chase.

[Concerto Dusk 240]

Jearing the order of Ramparts crew, he runs to his boat yelling for Mirror Image to inform the crew. "We need them back here now. We need to be in the seas in less than half an hour. Lets go go go." Running ablaze the Silver Tsunami, he stands at the helm and calls out his orders. "The mark is the Arcane Raider, unfortunately not much is kniwn about him but we wilk be working alongside Rampart Charger and the Unity Blade.they are our allies, so they will be getting a cut. Mirror Image do you have the spell ready?"

*Mirror Image* "Yes, but it won't be able tobgive an exact location. Only a direction, like a compass, but it is ready."

The last if his crew returns.

"Good then, we may be slow, but that is just more time for us to soak up the victory. For the princesses."

[Hurricane 159]

@@RainbowDashie,

 

Hurricane boarded the large ship and prepared herself for any teasing. She had a hard, steel look in her eyes and she walked with power and pride looking around the ship at the sails and masts. She was impressed by the sight, but didn't show it. "So, why the name?" she asked Thunder. "What made you call her the Golden Unicorn?"

[LZRD WZRD 1,929]

Blixer looked out at the harbor, searching for any ships tailing them.

 

"I want everypony working hard to make sure we get to Seaddle as soon as possible. I know that area well and have a good idea of how we can deal with Mirror Quake if I catch him following us."

 

The mood around the ship was good and spirits were high as the ship pulled out of the harbor.

Leave the docks, the Silver Tsunami follows the Unity Blade. " we will destroy them. With our combination of ships and crews, we can do it. Now get me the cartography exoert and the flag man. We need to communicate with them. Have him use the E.A.U. codes. Only two ships kniw that, and we are both here."

[RainbowDashie 767]

@, 

 

Thunder smiled. "That'd be because of a mare back home." Thunder said. "I always told her i'd name a ship after her, and this is what it has become." Thunder looked at his ship with proud. He looked at the ponies working, loading things onto the ship and loading them off. Everypony was working hard.

Amber groaned as she picked her head off the bar, a string of spit linking her muzzle to the countertop. Wiping away the drool with a hoof she looked around and realized she must have passed out from too much alcohol, which was odd seeing as she only remembered having a single drink. Her watch informed Amber that she hadn't been out long, still she figured it was about time to get back to her ship and left a few bits on the counter before beginning towards the door.

 

((Sorry for the inactivity, It seems the time of day when the RP is at its height is right around the time when I cannot possibly reply. Just a forewarning to anybody else trying to contact Amber, I can't do much until the evenings.))

Hurricane looked at the hard working crew. They all seemed motivated enough. "Pretty good crew." she said looking around. she then got closer to Thunder. "Do ever fell a chance of mutiny with them?" she said to him quietly so no other pony would hear. It was a good question. Every captain needs a crew that they can trust and depend on.

Gloom was watching over Amber to make sure no one tried to loot though her things. When she got up and grabbed his bottle of whiskey and put his arm around her neck again. "Hey there sunshine, had a good nap?" He laughs." A few scumdogs tried to loot though your things. But they didn't get far.". He kicked a knocked out pony out of the way.

The two ponies Mirror Quake had called upon arrived in the captains room. "Ok, Leo take your maps and confer with Mirror Image. I want to know where that ship is going. And you flash, tell the Unity Blade we will probably run inti an ambush if e s afraid of me. Otherwise, the arcane Raider is going down easily."

Amber grunted and pushed the hoof off her shoulder. "Look, I appreciate it and all, but I think I can make my way to the door by myself" she said in a well-practiced baritone as she squeezed past the burly pony and continued towards the door. 'That was a little harsh' she thought glancing back at the stallion, 'oh well, he looks like he can handle himself'.

Ash walked over to Blixer.

 

"Captain," he said, "there are two ships following us."

 

Blixer walked quickly over to the side of the ship and looked back. Sure enough, two ships were sailing towards them a short ways back.

 

"How long have they been following us?"

 

"Soren said since we left Queenston harbor," Ash answered.

 

"Has he identified them?"

 

"No sir, they're too far back."

 

Blixer rubbed his hoof anxiously along the railing.

 

"Set a course for Tarsus," he ordered.

 

"Sir?"

 

"They'll give away they're following us if they turn south," he said. "They might hesitate, might question my motives. We might be able to lose them if they don't act fast."

 

"Sir," Ash nodded. He walked to the center of the deck and shouted the order to reset the course for Tarsus.

 

Blixer took out his binoculars and peered back at the ships following them. He was certain Mirror Quake was on one of them.

 

Ok, old boy, he thought, let's see what you do.

He reached into his bag and pulled out a decorative royal navy captains dagger. "I got this off a navy captain after we took his man'o war. A real beauty. I shipped her off to be part of my fleet. Got about three of them now. But the wrath is my pride and joy." He said while pointing at his ship, The Wrath of the Damned. "So lad, what paddle boat you be sailing?" He said with a smirk.

Suddenly the cartographer bursts in. "Sir, they are changing course. It appears they have spotted us. What shoukd we do?"

 

 

"We do what we always do. Give chase, I doubt they can withstand both our ships. After all, the Silver Tsunami was commissioned by the princesses. I want tgat boat sunk immediately and we can prove once and for all, that the pirates have.metbthe end of thier time."

"Storm take the helm I am taking a lifeboat for a detour". From the Unity Blade a song was heard across the wind. "Yo ho...hoist the colors...thieves and beggars...never shall we die", roared the ship's crew. Rampart paddled his lifeboat to the Silver Tsunami to meet with Mirrorquake directly.

Amber whistled at the impressive brig, suddenly feeling a tad embarrassed by her own tiny ship that sat, dwarfed among the sea of masts obscuring the marina.  At barely sixty feet long and boasting only a single deck, La Soubrette was easily the smallest ship at the docks, movement on the forecastle alerted Amber that some of crew must have already arrived and be waiting on her return. "Well then this looks like where we part ways, I'm sure we'll run into each other again" she said, indicating to where her modest caravel rocked slowly in the harbor.

Blixer smiled pessimistically as he watched the two ships turn with him. That was okay. It didn't appear that they were gaining on him. At least they had that going for them.

 

I might have to abandon this ship. At least for awhile.

 

He stared out at the sea and wondered how his crew would match up on land against the RPF. Aside from the officers, few of their sailors had firearms. They would have to fight in close quarters, preferably in the wooded hills outside of Tarsus. Seaddle would have been a better place for this fight, but at this point he didn't want to risk losing ground to his pursuers.

 

He would make it work, one way or another.
