"Yeah, you are cool," Double muttered, then caught what she said and shook her head with a reddened face.

 

Double, you idiot! Be cool!

 

"I think she got away from that creep," she muttered, sitting on her haunches and removing her skates, "and that big minotaur guy will probably keep him busy for a while. I think we're all good."

"Whew, that's good." He climbed onto a nearby bench, and sat back to rest. Luckily for her, he seemed to miss those first few words she said. Taking a deep breath, he looked up into the night sky, "Man. I almost feel like I need that energy drink of mine. Heh, so tired..."

Double breathed a quiet sigh of relief from seeing Jack seemed to miss what she blurted out.

 

Strike one, Double.

 

She hopped onto the bench and sat next to him, looking up at the dark sky as well.

 

"I know, right?" She huffed, her chest heaving from having to still catch her breath. "Y'know, I wanted to try that stuff, but mom always said energy drinks weren't great for, well, energy. All the sugar and stuff, y'know?" She shrugged.

Luster began to focus on ripping each rope from it's mooring.  When the collapsed mast was now unfettered, Luster tied those loose ropes to herself. Once she turned the rigging to a makeshift harness, she kicked on her thrusts and rocketed up, carrying her makeshift cargo into the air. Higher and higher she would go. 

 

In about a minute and a half, she was now at 30,000 feet. She looked down, zooming in on the ship below. "The anchor had been set, so it wouldn't be going anywhere. Only one way to go." she shut off her thrusters, and fell with her mast. Faster and faster they would go, terminal velocity of 122 mph being reached in 15 seconds. 75 seconds left.

 

"Not good enough." She kicked her thrusters back on and charged straight down. 75 seconds was cut down to 25. At 500 mph, the speed of a commercial airliner, she dived. Firing a stabilizer and adjusting a wing, she put spin on her mast. 10 seconds, she let go and parted ways with her newfound implement. She spread her wings and and arched back up over the water, encircling the ship. 

 

5 seconds till Luster's makeshift massive stake impacted the ship. Four. Three. Two-

 

 

 

"She just won't quit, will she?"

"Hey, she's a robot. Quitting probably isn't even in her database."

"Whatever, doesn't matter. Firebeak's doomed, now."

"Hey...You don't know. He can still fly."

"We will see..."

 

 

 

It impacted, and immediately tore straight through, spiraling a few moments even after it's force was exhausted. 

 

Moments later, sounds of leaking would be heard, as water gushed into the massive hole ripped through the hull. A light cackling sounded inside, as wheeling about was heard amongst the intense storm of sheer, unrelenting water forcing it's way into the ship--which started to sink.

 

"Missed me..."

@@P-Jay, 

 

Luster just fired her thrusts and stood atop the crow's nest of the second mast. 

 

"Now all I have to do is wait. Either he drowns, or he faces me. Either way, he'll have no where left to hide." She kept her thermal vision on, keeping track of where that overheated body was amongst the cold water.

Ametrine's ears perked up as the mention of her mother's name.  Same as Zoisite, who stopped in his tracks at the mention of her name.  The two looked at each other, then back to the assassin.  The pink mare stepped forward, wary of the intimidating minotaur.
 
"This seems like a bad time, but how do you know about Carnelian?"  Her eyes shifted uneasily between the two of them, her hoof checking the warhammer strapped to her back.  She hoped she wouldn't have to resort to that, but as high as the tension was, she may have to subdue one or the other in order to make them see reason.

Raze's gaze was now turned towards the newcomer.

 

Another one... he thought. What could she want with the baroness? And more importantly... how did she know her name?

 

"Eh?" he said. "Just why exactly would that be important to you?" he asked her, suspicious of her intentions.

"Looks like he's done for."

"I dunno, pirates were known for being weasels when it came to fighting. Rarely ever fought fairly."

"You sayin' a braindead corpse can formulate strategy?" 

"Unlikely."

"Hey, he's surprised us once. Maybe he'll do it again."

 

 

 

Eventually, the pirate came out from the hole, flying onto the deck and looking up at Luster, angled slightly from the hole. 

 

He wore a face of apathy, as if he was realizing this fight was for naught. But even through that, he still managed a taunt.

 

"...C'mon then, ye gobshite."

"Dance with Jack Ketch ye parrot loving arse hat." Her sniper rifle was levitating above and behind firebeak. Her software had little difficulty in the milliseconds it took for calculating the angle of her shot from the gun opposite her. Even before she finished with her last syllable, she pulled the trigger, aiming for his head. 

[Thunder Tinker 659]

 

 

The experiments and requests continued to levitate and assemble on their own, occasionally moving erratically with pieces grinding together without any lasting damage. "Yes I make Magitek like Sparky. Sparky can turn into wings for me, as well as other things." I patted Sparky with my right forehoof. "Everything here counts as Magitek, even the non-magical pieces. It should all be compatible with other enchanted items, and if it's not it can be made compatible.

 

Then I frowned. "Materials for sale? That's unexpected. I don't usually resell materials. If you need to make repairs or maintenance I'd rather do that myself. I don't really have specific types of metal, as I reshape scrap into what I typically need. If you're insistent I can let you into my materials vault. The metal is sorted into 2x4s by density and type of metal."

 

 

Tinker hummed softly at the offer, raising a hoof to rub his chin. "It'd be splendid if you allow me to go into your vault. From what I've seen, these aren't exactly combat ready." His horn lit up and one of the mechanical wing unfold from his body, slowly extending out as if to emphasize his point. "I need to upgrade their durability while keeping it flexible enough for me to take sharp turns. The material I usead here would be fine for general flying, but if I went too fast around a corner, they'd break."

He immediately attempted to duck, once she fired the gun--but it was far, far faster then the flintlock pistols he had originally predicted in his time of living. The bullet didn't hit it's mark--but certainly tore through a chunk of his face, prompting a screech of pain as he stumbled back, clawing at the air in front of him.

 

His claw scratched at something under him, that was previously hidden to Luster; for a moment, hissing filled the room, before a cannonball tore through the deck, hurling straight at her--Firebeak had taken her words into consideration, using something on the ship capable of dealing enough damage to actually damage her. But alas, his plan was ripped short of a poorly-dodged bullet...

"Please. The trajectory is so predictable." she hovered to the side, where the ball would inch past her. "There's a reason why-"

 

*KA-BAM!*

 

The lit cannon ball exploded next to her, sending her tumbling out of the sky and plunging tot he tides below, bits from her own chasis plunking into the water after her.

"Well this is the thing: My energy drink is more natural. Like--sure, there's still sugar in it, but at least it's from stuff like honey and sugar cane instead of artificial ingredients." Jack looked over at her, "If you want, I could get your mom some so she can taste the difference."

Lorec had not shifted from his position at all, still wishing to play the role of vanguard for his child and the others. With little concern over the insults that had been hurled towards him, the Minotaur kept his eyes trained upon Raze, bequeathing no quarter to the renegade. As far as he was concerned, They could either stand here, twiddling their thumbs and hooves while awaiting the long arm of the law, or Raze could decide to settle things with a skirmish. To Lorec, waiting for the perfect opportunity to ensnare his desired prey was commonplace, and he could sit frozen for hours on end, a mark of the patient huntsman. Though, as another had forced her way into the altercation, things had now become quite vexing. 

 

Hearing Raze curse the name of one Carnelian, and said name bringing the attention of another, Lorec cursed under his breath. This situation was becoming nearly insufferable with how many threads that entangled others, And all of it spawning from a foalnapping case that had been derailed. Taking Raze's distraction concerning the mare into consideration, he kept sword trained upon the mercenary, though he would turn his head to face her, and speak... And she was armed. "... Equestrian, fall back. This one tried to take a child against her will. I am a reasonable minotaur, and I'll let you two have your conversation once I'm sure that the children are safe. But for now, I am content to stall. "

Double blinked and regarded Jack with interest. "Honey and sugar cane, huh? That does sound good."

 

She blinked, and nodded at his proposal. "Can if you want. Mom's not a hard person to impress. At least, I don't think she is."

 

She fought letting out a yawn. "Wow, heck of a day, wasn't it?"

"Hey-ey-ey!" Shut the fuck up for one second, why don't you," Raze said to the Minotaur, not looking at him. "You can spout that protectorate bullcrap once we're done here, got it top-heavy?" He took a deep breath and focused his attention back to the mare in front of him.

 

"As I was saying... how do you know her?"

Proud Ametrine looked from the minotaur to the pony, barely hesitating before making her choice.

 

 

"You know, I normally would ask why you think I'm Equestrian, but I guess that's a bit off topic, now isn't it?  More on topic, sure, that sounds reasonable.  However, if he gets uppity, please do try not to seriously injure him.  I need him alive and able to talk, and if both of those aren't fulfilled, I'm going to be more than a little miffed."  To accentuate her ultimatum, the mare rolled her powerful shoulders.  Though not taller than an average mare, her muscle mass was above average for one.  Corded muscle flexed beneath her skin and fur as the heavy warhammer strapped to her back shifted about.

"D-d-d-double--"

"Dont."

"...Kill."

"Celestia dammit, Trisha, I will seal your mouth closed."

"Go ahead, I'll seal other parts of your body closed in your sleep~"

"..."

"Me thinks you shouldn't seal her mouth closed."

"...Whatever."

 

 

 

Firebeak removed his claw slightly, his 'buff' he had received from the one's who summoned him waning fast, leaving his body completely unable to move...And his head feeling as if it had just been forced through a meat grinder.

 

He stretched his wings, feeling one of them refuse to move, as well as his leg locking up. The ship continued to sink, leaving him with no way out of it. So, he decided to do what any pirate would do: sat down on the deck, and brought a flask to his beak. Drinking, as the water approached him. 

 

At this point, he didn't care if Luster was critically injured or not--he'd wiped that smug mentality from her, and that was good enough for him...

[Denim&Venöm 19,052]

After about half a minute, Luster rocketed back out of the water and onto the deck. Her right eye was cracked and dark. Her side and shoulder had warps and thick gashes in the aluminium, and were wing looked bent and jammed into her side. 

 

"Alright...now I'm pissed." Her assortment of pre-recorded words said in a non-threatening tone through a somewhat waterlogged voice box. Which might make them sound all the more unsettling.

@Hazard Time, , 

Erroria floated outside the Radius of Lorec, Raze, and Proud Ametrine. The white fluffy cloud that she was laying down on shifted back and forth slightly as she watched with a sleepy expression, a content smiled painted on her face.

 

Looking back and forth between the available candidates, she decided Proud Ametrine would be the nicest to her. She floated over, dropping herself off from her cloud and onto the Earth Pony's back without an ounce of ceremony.

 

She'd be exceptionally light, the difference in weight barely noticeable to even a non-muscular pony. The tiny snow-white alicorn filly looked up and half-waved to everyone around her, then settled down, still looking like she could fall asleep at a moment's notice. 

[Square 69]

Bill had been walking for a week to a year, when he saw a banner above him that caught his attention, "BangColt". Bill's eyes brightened. He'd wanted to experiment since he was... something, at some time, but had never been able to due to a complete out law on romance in the last city he had stayed in. Knowing this might be his only chance for a few more years, Bill ran forward into what he assumed was a town, anxious to find the colts.

Raze blinked twice, not sure what to make of this... other newcomer. She was a kid, who had this sort of carefree aura around her, plopping herself on the other stranger's back.

 

Great, another reason for the minotaur to stay here and call me a foal napper, "protecting" her... I've had enough of kids for one day... he thought.

 

Did she not know what was going on? That there was a tense conflict that could erupt at any second? Obviously not. He sighed, then turned his attention to the filly.

 

"Kid, get out of here," he said. "We're a bit busy at the moment."

Meanwhile, at the arena, a challenge was posted for anyone to accept. The details of said challenge were not shown, just that someone was waiting for a free match against anyone who felt like it in the arena at that moment. Any and all were free to accept.

Jack stood up, looking around for anyplace they could go to eat. Bangcolt was so huge, though, that it would be difficult to find something that specific. There was no restaurant row like Canterlot, so they would have to go looking. "Maybe we can find something. But we'll have to look around."
