(At this point the anti-pirate force had been formed but are not yet known to the pirates)

 

The Dead pool smashed through the billows of water, on course for new raiding grounds, this time recklessly close to the harbor of the Equestrian coast. Already haven sunken and raided many Equestrian ships, Audacia was confident in the crews ability to successfully raid another, However close it was to the "enemy". Not much resistance had been displayed against the pirates yet, So the Equestrians had not been seen as an enemy, but rather as helpless victims. 

 

@,

 

Audacia standing behind the ship's wheel held her bottle high and gulped down the last of the ale before wiping her mouth and throwing the bottle off board. "We be nearin' our destination lads!" She exclaimed having heard the area should basically be crowded with vulnerable supply ships. She was confident that True shot would be able to spot any unfortunate souls that might fall victim to the band of pirates, Which reminded her, "Oy, True Shot, Where be ye?!" She exclaimed with bit of annoyance in her tone. As she waited for a response she got another bottle of ale and sunk her teeth in to the dry cork, Dragging and spitting it out on the deck.

@,

 

On the Equestrian Harbor, in a warehouse, lies a shade blue stallion, taking to a pirate...

 

You request my services... How about 300 Bits, plus 10 Percent of what ever we gain on this voyage?

 

As Night waited his response, he slowly walks to the corner of the warehouse, and picks up a sword, sheath on.

 

So do we have a deal?

 

Night asked while he slowly walked back to the pirate...

"Aye, Mister Night! I think I'm finally gettin' a handle on this pirate speech! And regarding yer payment, still only one-fifty bits! That's your share!" Captain Dark Façade yelled. He smiled, and adjusted his bandolier of flintlocks. He smiled broadly as he saw the Great Equestrian Harbor, and yelled for Missklang, "Mate! We've got a harbor ahead! A place to lay low for a while, and to sell our 'goods' and such." Façade motioned to the crows nest to switch their colors, to that of the Equestrian Navy. He smiled, "you all know the procedures of the Navy! Tidy up this crab bucket!" Façade pulled out his spyglass, and spotted the Dead Pool, "huh, so Audacia's here, well this should prove interesting." Façade set the ship and went below deck, switching his jacket to that of his old navy jacket. He returned above, and saw with pride, that his crew looked like the navy's. "Aye colts, we're gold!" Façade decided he was going to grow a beard. It would help him be more rugged,

@,

Coming up from below deck an orange unicorn in the same worn navy jacket made his way over to Dark Façade.

"Captian, all small arms and blades be stored," He looked over spotting the Dead Pool. "Will we be needing them sooner rather then latter?" He asked almost hopefully.

Gloomfuy was walking around the deck, parking orders at the men to keep them on their toes. As the ships quartermaster it was his job to look after the crew and make sure that they all had food in their stomach and a place to sleep. As well as keep them in line and ready to fight. Most of the crew were Audacia's but some of them were his own. Before join her, Gloom was running his own ship.

 

But he thought it was time for a change of pace. He liked his role of quartermaster, he was more involved with the crew witched really helped him gain their respect.

"I don't know Mr. Wings, we'll need their help none the less. But hopefully they don't recognize us. We haven't seen each other in what? 6 years?" Façade sighed. He pulled the Centurion ever closer to the harbor. Façade hoped their cover wouldn't be blown. The captain pulled out his spyglass out again, and saw some clouds approaching on the horizon. "Blast! A real wind coming in! Crew settle in down below! Skeleton crew on top!"

Very well, 150 bits, only one request...

i get 5% of the bootie, is that ok with you?

 

Night walked up the the pony, known as "Missklang" and asked

 

Greetings. I am Night. I believe we have meet somewhere else before? You are not from here? You do not speak like these filthy aniamls? Why, me too

[Love Doctor Blaze 536]

@,

 

True Shot flew down to the captain. A rather interesting individual. He decided to join her crew since assasination jobs have become too boring. So he figured he would lend his skills here "Right here captain, what do you wish to know?" Asked True Shot respectfully

Missklang nonchalantly walked on the ship's deck, examining every plank and every rope. He walked past Facade and turned around.

 

"Captain....It's nice all the mascarade with the costumes and all, but won't it help to change the flag from black to white? It's kinda obvious as if we has "pirate" written all over the face. I checked out the trapdoors that hide the additional cannons on each side. They are perfect so no accidents are expected on those parts. So, where we arrived already?... "

Missklang looked at the unicorn that was talking and looked at him with an evaluating stare.

 

"I met a lot of different ponies during my travels. And fate finally brought me on this ship. I am originated from the town known as Poniville. At least I remember so... I hope it will be interesting speaking with an educated person. Most of the crew members are talking in such incomprehensible way sometimes and their interests are quite boring. Apart from our captain of course... So, you are the captain's new guard dog am I right? Or right hand if you prefer... A very good position I might tell you. Well paid and you got a privet sleeping place. However, the last one to occupy this position had his throat cut by Facade because he tried to betray him. Such a shame... the carpet was ruined from all the blood. We had to replace it... Well, would you be so kind ad repeat me your name? I had memory issues in the past..."

"Missklang, are you going blind—" then Façade's head snapped to the mast, the navy flag was not being flown, "Celestia burn my soul! Who didn't change the flag!" Façade yelled, pulling a flintlock off his bandolier. He surveyed the ship, it remained deathly silent. He motioned to a pegasus near him, "you, you've got 30 seconds to change that flag, NOW!" Façade shouted. He looked over the rest of the crew, "carry on" he muttered loudly.

"You get a 15 percentage of total loot collected at the end of a haul, Night. Missklang, find out who had the position of the crow's nest and bring them to me." Façade then grabbed the wheel, flintlock still in hoof.

Audacia poured some more of the beverage into her mouth before turning her head to True shot, "Could ye scout ahead for anythin' of our interest? We're gettin' awfully close t' them landlubbers callin' themselves jack tars, Pfft... They wouldn't know a sea if it were fore o' their eaye!" She realized she was getting of topic and turned her head forwards again, "Just look on out ahead.." She said finishing the last of the bottle before once again throwing it off board.

As she looked out over the lower deck, She spotted Gloomfury talking to the rest of the crew. "Oy, Gloomfury, Tell them t' be ready t' ready t' six pounders (cannons) would ye?".

Missklang, find out who had the position of the crow's nest and bring them to me.

 

Missklang smiled in a shark-like smile.

 

"Yess captain. I will do as you command..."

 

His horn glowed as he turned into a mist that floated up to the crow's nest. Once up, the mist took back the pony form and Missklang looked down at a peacefully sleeping pony. 

 

"So cute... What a shame I have to wake him up..."

 

Missklang hit the mat and a panel in the nest's floor opened in two, making the pony fall on the rags conveniently placed underneath, just near the captain. Missklang watched the pony fall with a scream and jumped down too, landing next to the pony...

True Shot saluted. "Yes ma'am. It shall be done" He flew up, and out towards the sea. He braced himself for a long journey, but was surprised to see a ship right next to them. He hurried back and shouted "Ship in sight comrades! Looks like an equestrian navy, about 800 meters north" Said the former assasin, as he landed next to Audacia

[Gloomfury 243]

@,

 

Gloom looked up at Audacia. "Aye, Captain!" He shouted the order to ready the cannons and be set to fire when needed. Gloom placed a cigar him his sharp teeth and lit it with a match. Whenever they used cannon Gloom would always like a cigar so he could fire a cannon himself. As he wondered about to see if the cannons where loaded and ready to fire, he left a trail of smoke from his cigar. "Cannons ready Captain!"

Name Night. Let it be, I'm the captain's right hoof you wouldn't have some Aqua Regia on board, do you?

 

---CRACK---

 

As Night saw a pony just fall through a few planks, he simply ignored it and trotted next to Missklang...

 

So. Do you have any Aqua Regia? I believe, you, being a Alchemyst, you should have some, but do you?

 

Night saw the pony shake his head, and Night sighed and said

 

That's a shame, I would like to see your bunk, and it's condition, you being another foreign pony, like myself, I must confirm, you are not planning mutiny or anything. If you are, you have a skilled sword pony to deal with...

Missklang shaked his head. He obviously had the said chemicals, but he couldn't let a stranger approach his ustensils as they were very fragile. In a matter of fact, he even didn't let the captain see his laboratory, allowing him to do his experiments in peace. It was however strange that a simple mercenary knowed about such things, perhaps, there was more to him... It was very intriguing and Missklang decided to keep an eye on him just in case.

"Then It's all golden. Nice to see fresh blood on the ship. I think we will get along just well. If you need something repaired or even enhanced, or you spot a malfunction on the ship, come to me and I will do my best."

@, @@Gloomfury, @,

 

(The ship we have spotted is Darkhearts ship, We're mistaking it for an Equestrian ship.)

 

As fast as Audacia got to know the whereabouts of this apparent Equestrian navy ship she abruptly started steering the ship north with a large determined smile on her face. As the majestic yet menacing ship clove the water in it's way, Audacia could soon spot the ship herself, Confirming through it's appearance that it most certainty was Equestrian navy. "Ready t' front six pounder, And be ready t' board their ship! Let's brin' her down lads!" Audacia exclaimed to the crew, Creating a sort of organized chaos.

 

Audacia looked at Gloom, "Ye will fire t' front cannon at first best opportunity!" Pointing at the front deck of the ship with one hoof.

Night shrugged off the weird encounter and walked to the mast,

Talking to nopony in particular, he said

 

Ahh, it's a great day, if I must say so myself

 

@

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a ship, slowly turning towards them. Night took off running, as fast as possible, until he found the captain, and said in a cautious voice

 

Aye, sir! I see a ship coming towards us, it's guns seem ready to blow. The cannons on its bow, are primed, I believe they are Mark II Ironclads, powerful enough to rip through hull to hull, I think, they must have looted it from Imperials. I await your orders sir!

 

Night placed his hoof on his sheathed sword, awaiting the captains orders

Sapphire walked out of the captain's cabin to a line of ponies in naval uniforms standing at attention. "so this is what the navy has to offer? Before anyone asks no this armour is not navy it's Royal Guard so someone higher up the food chain is interested in ending the pirate threat" she walked down the parade line inspecting as she went, "well you seem fine to me." Smiling as she says it, "however I'm not the one you need impress." "who" came from the parade. "that would be Captain Citrus barrel". As those words were said Citrus himself walked out from the cabin.

 The new captain rubbed his eyes. Pirates?... I don't know a damned thing about pirates! Leave it to the royals to throw something together at the last moment . Walking out into the air he looked at his new vessel and frowned. So much different then the sloop  he used to pilot. And just when I was about to retire too... He stopped himself from thinking any further.

 

His crew was watching him, most of them like himself, either former tradesmen or soldiers without a lick of sea experience, he hoped none of them had families.  Looking back to his motley crew he took a deep breath and cleared his throat.  "Alright you lot, you are all here for one reason and one reason only. To deal with pirates. As I'm sure you all know, our country has been facing a menace of the seas, now its up to us to stop it . Make no mistake these pirates will kill you on sight, and I want no romantic ideas about them. Unlike them however we are aiming to capture, so that they may face due trial and punishment for their ways. Now before I dismiss you, I have one rule, I catch you drinking alcohol you better hope you can swim. I have zero tolerance for drinking on my ship. Now if there are no questions, report to your stations. We have pirates to catch"

He shook his head a little. Sure he had been a captain before, but he had always been called Mr. never Sir... It was going to take some getting used too "Listen Corporal, let me be frank, I don't like mares on my ship. Now don't get all indigent on me, its not what you think. that aside, I've got you and a some battlemare named Banner. Obviously the Princesses have under estimated our opponents, and that being the case I want to speak with you in private. Oh and be a good soldier and tell the troops that I'm looking for Banner as well." he gave a weak salute to her and trotted off to his cabin and waited, looking out his window into the sea

That went better than she thought it would, to work then. "PONIES, where is Banner? Somepony find her and tell her the captain is looking for her and he's in his cabin." there were several nods from some of the ponies around and everypony got back to work. Sapphire proceed to the ship's wheel to steer and wait for Banner to arrive, In case the captain wanted anything else.
