My Little Pony: Pirates Adventure PT.08.1

More feats of another adventure to come. There will be many interesting facts about what it means to be out at sea, and the fun places to come across…at least around here? And there will be another spectacular event to where the fun just doesn’t stop, and we’ll come across the next island to where another key lies, but will we get to it….? That, remains to be seen, so lets kick back here and enjoy the show….

Chapter 07: Deciding Where To Go Next?

Unknown Island?

The scene reopens to a deserted island spot very far from Coral Island. And it was here, someone was seen struggling to get up from where he was seen bashed across stuff: Dizchord, the Musician Of Discord Melody. Apparently after he was last seen, he was sent flying by the Sparrow Pirates that beat him by pure singing of beautiful music.

“Aaahhhh maaaaan, them ponies really bust my beat? How am I suppose to be rocking’ it out with an audience that acts like credits?” Dizchord groans off to say in seeing what happened to him, and that won’t be much for his career. “So where in the rocking world did I get blasted off to?” He asked off to look around, not recognizing the area at all.

“We can answer that?” A voice came from behind the guy, and soon he meant up with meeting…the Katastrophy Brothers. “Yo, how’s it going.” Khaos was the one speaking, as he gave a little hello wave.

“Love your work.” Kalamity spoke off with a smile in how they love this guy’s music, even if it’s chaotic to stand.

“Can we have your autograph?” Konfusion asked off like some fanboy wanting a star celebrity’s signature.

“Well, well, the Katastrophy Brothers? Some good fans of real music?” Dizchord spoke off in seeing some evil creatures that truly enjoy his music right here before him. “So tell me, wha is General Ogun up to now?” He asked off in what the baddest general they know be up to this moment.

“He’s right behind you?” General Ogun’s voice is heard, as all sides look to find the frightful guy. “You failed to acquire the other key, Mistress Demona won’t be too please about this?” He scolds this horrible rockstar for bumbling his mission to secure the other Serpent Key.

“What can I say, they outplayed a musical genius. OOoowwhhh!” Dizchord shrug off to say in his defense while rocking it out on his guitar.

“By how bad you play, I’m amazed they could even ‘beat’ such chaotic music?” General Ogun remotely issued the subject of what happened that such a well known foe got neatened by pirates and a capable of mares & fillies. “But for now, we are needed elsewhere, there are still two more Serpent Keys to find.” He explained that they got more important task to handle, such as the last two keys.

“Um, the only places left are the north & south?” Khaos scratched his head in recalling the only spots left unchecked.

“But where they are, we have to find them first?” Kalamity shrug off to say in knowing the last two places, they don’t know which they be?

“Or we could let the pirates do all the work?” Konfusion rub his noggin in stating a random idea in what to do here, even if it did sounded dumb.

“Perhaps….we’ll do both. hehehahahaaah, that will be evilly perfect to perform.” General Ogun chuckled off evilly in seeing a plan, let the pirates do most of the work, and they’ll be at full strength to attack.

“So is it gonna be me that gets another shot at them or what?” Dizchord asked off if he’s up for another musical section with the bunch that knocked off his concert.

“No, this time, we’re sending in someone that will be harder for those pirates to beat. One who’s body is not made flesh, at least.” General Ogun responded to issue that they shall let forth a foe who’s more tougher to be, and who’s flesh….is not soft at all.

The other evil beings looked to the other as if having a sneaky suspicion of who General Ogun was talking about.

“Come, let us watch how things go by.” General Ogun instructed the group that they shall get going of their next evil task.

“Gruspfruvhmm….” Soon a red portal showed up around all the bad guys, as they slowly entered it before it vanished afterwards. It would appear that not everything is through with them, there is still more things to come.

Meanwhile, Aboard The Black Pearl…

At this time, we find our view turn to the Black Pearl, as it was sailing across the seas like always. After another victory of obtaining another Serpent Key, the Sparrow Pirates were feeling pretty good about themselves. They already scored two treasures, and only two more to go before going after the finale. And right on the deck, the Mane Six were with the CMC & Spike, discussing things of what they have so far experienced from their stay with pirates on a sea quest to obtaining the Trident of Neptune.

“Girls, I’m beginning to worry for this adventure?” Twilight spoke with some soundings of concern in her voice.

“Why Twilight? This is just getting awesome!” Rainbow Dash asked off why her friend thinks this was bad, this has been pretty great so far.

“And it’s loads of fun! I mean, that last island where we sang was wondrous!” Pinkie Pie smiled off happily in recalling the last adventure they had, boy, was it a something else or what.

“But still, dat there crazy fella named Dizchord seem like a nasty fella?” Applejack spoke off in thinking who they saw was a weirdo if ever saw one.

“Yes, he seem very strong, and his music was not too friendly for our delicate ears.” Rarity complained to hold her ears from feeling that horrible music that was played before is still there.

“Well, hopefully, we can enjoy the music being heard here instead?” Fluttershy meekly smiled in looking to the pirates Musician Brothers, their music is much more pleasant.

“Gotta admit, everything looks fine.” Spike smiled to say from studying the rest of the area around them. “So what did the captain say of our next destination?” He asked off in what they’ll be doing now here.

“Honestly Spike, I have NO clue, we’re still sailing to reach the middle point before deciding to go north or south?” Twilight shook her head in being unable to know the answer, they haven’t reach their destination to decide the next course route.

“Maybe we’ll go to the north side?” Apple Bloom spoke off her first thought of the subject.

“Nah, I think it’ll be more to the south.” Scootaloo shook her head in stating the opposite answer.

“But wherever we go, lets just all be happy to be together & nothing will go wrong.” Sweetie Belle proudly spoke in thinking they’ll be fine & dandy no matter where they end up.

“Mateys, we got a problem!” A sailor came up to inter up much of the happy moment with a worried face. “Half our crew are falling down, expressin’ weird colors & spots on thee faces!” He issued to say this with much grim expression of what sounded serious here.

This news caught everyones attention, that most certainly didn’t sound too good at all. It wasn’t long before those that were having fun to stop and head where the problem lie. Many of the pirate crew mates show tan yellow/emerald colors on their bodies of different fur color & signs of bronze-green spots all over them, all while looking absolutely terrible. Many shown expressions of concern, worry and caution, just what was the meaning of this.

“Wha in Sam Hill happened here?” Applejack asked off in seeing what happened to much of the crew here.

“Wow, why are these guys all strangely colored and polka dotted spots all over?” Pinkie Pie asked off in noticing the strange appearance of what was on the seemingly sick crew mates.

“Oh no! It’s not CONTAGIOUS! Is it?” Rarity cried out in a panic to hid behind her friends in not wanting to catch whatever made those here sick.

“Oh dear, they seem to be very sick, but…I’ve never seen this before?” Fluttershy spoke with worry, this really didn’t look good, what could this be.

“Arrrgh, wha be all this tom-foolery be?” Soon coming into the picture, Mr. StoneGibbs entered to see what was causing a commotion here.

“We were hoping you could tell us?” Spike issued off to say from seeing this was something they don’t know about.

“Some of these sailors are showing some strange sickness?” Twilight pointed out her best assumption to which, the navigator of the crew saw and became sternly concern; like he seen this before.

“By the Dreaded Salty Dog, this can’t be?” StoneGibbs he exclaimed from being shock and horrified, this sounds like bad news indeed. “Lightning Flash!” He yelled out to the fastest matey on their ship to step forward.

“Yes sir?” Lightning Flash came up quickly to await some orders.

“Get Professor Righteous here on the double lad! He be needin’ ta see this!” StoneGibbs pointed out that they need their doc here to examine this sickness.

“Aye-Aye!” Lightning Flash saluted before zipping off quick as lightning to find their stallion for the job.

“Avast, Me Hearties! We got ta get the sick below deck!” StoneGibbs issued the order to the healthy crew to help get their sick mateys below.

“Roger, Sir!” The rest of the healthy crew responded before they brought stretchers & used their magic to levitate the others.

“And that goes double fer ye lasses! Help a pirate out!” StoneGibbs turn to tell the mares that were nearby to help out instead of gawking at what’s happen.

“Can do!” Rainbow Dash saluted in hearing this order in wanting to be a helpful pirate matey.

“Aye-Aye Skipper!” The CMC saluted in also wanting to do the same thing.

Now the crew was hard at work along with the Mane Six’s group, to help bring in the sick to the sick bay or at least to their own quarters to lie down and rest.

~

Below In The Crew’s Cabin Quarters

We find many of the sick crew in their hammock beds, blanks over them, and many were groaning and moaning like no tomorrow. A little bit further from here was a sick bay office where there were those that were listening & awaiting news. As Professor Righteous was studying this strange sickness while much of the healthy crew members like the elites, Captain SparrowJack, even the Mane Six group, await the news of the results.

“Tell us the news, is it dreadfully serious?” Rarity asked off with much worry if this was a very serious issue they are dealing with.

“How many are going to catch it?” Fluttershy asked with worry if there were more that would be ill soon.

“Are we doom to catch it too?” Rainbow Dash asked off in a panicky tone of really not wanting to be sick.

“Woah-woah lasses, give the fella a break to gather his thoughts, savvy?” Captain SparrowJack held up his front hooves to calm this lot down from all the worries.

“This isn’t good, they have the scurvy sickness?” Professor Righteous spoke from analyzing the substance of what’s effecting their crew by looking over a sick patient.

“AAaahhhh! Not the Scurvy Sickness! Anything but Scurvy! Why oh why must it be Scurvy?” Pinkie Pie screamed out in worry and panic, but then after a while, she stopped to ponder this…? “Um, question….what’s scurvy?” She asked what it was that freaked her out, typical Pinkie Pie.

“Pinkie Pie, it’s a sickness ye get when ye travel out at sea.” Applejack narrow her eyes at her silly pink friend’s lack of knowing such a illness.

“Granny Smith told us about it, said we had ta pack oranges if we’re out too long?” Apple Bloom stated about having such a fruit when they went on their cruise.

“Hugh, why would she say something like that?” Spike rubbed the back of his head in not following this?

“Because, oranges produce the cure for such a sickness at seas.” Professor Righteous stated the fact before everyone was paying attention. “They get yellowish squishy skin, budgie gums and painful swallow joints. Afterwards, they’ll almost be on their final breath unless a cure is given for the treatment.” He explained the basic rules, theory, and examination of this sickness they are having.

“Oh my goodness! That sounds…horrible!?” Sweetie Belle gasped in just hearing such scary things here.

“Yes, which is why we have a cook to avoid any food-related seaborne illnesses, if one gets sick from eating rotten fruit.” Professor Righteous nods to state this and why even their chef, CrisisCross, prepares such meals.

“Please tell us we can get the cure?” Scootaloo asked off in hoping they have what is needed, but…

“Well that’s a yes, and wee no.” Khazim rubbed the back of his head in seeing they have a tad problem with the answer of ‘having a cure’ on hand.

“As it turns out, I check the galley in our ship, an it be nothing of any stock hold of oranges.” CrisisCross shrug off to say in explaining they don’t have any oranges in stock.

“Then how long do we have before the rest of the crew gets under this scurvy sickness?” Roxas asked in thinking they’ll soon be under the same illness if not careful.

“Weeks, days….maybe hours…? We need to find a batch or oranges from either an island wildlife or find port for any town with a market place?” Professor Righteous exclaimed to say while pointing out some facts they’ll need to go over and as such.

“Then find a port to help us find the oranges?” Twilight exclaimed forth in feeling they need to find a place to dock at port and get what they need quickly.

“Well lass, that there be a problem in unable to do so, ye see? In where we be heading’ on our current course?” Sharky rub the back of his hoof to look down in feeling bad to tell the group this bad news of info.

“Aye, we’re too far from usual landmarking thingys to know ups or downs of a nearby port in sight?” Bones nods with a blank, but concern face about they aren’t near anyplace to do such things as dock by a port to town, there isn’t any.

“In short, we need ta find a solution within limited time?” Wilson Ramon stated with a serious face in knowing what this was gonna turn out to being.

“There maybe a way? We just pass Dolphin Coral Grove, where them dolphins are a spotted by them corals.” StoneGibbs spoke off in having a feeling he may know a spot from their last pass of a sea landmark. “If memory serves right, there’s a land where trees grow fruits & what not. Especially them as oranges to boot.” He issued in recalling a place that may have what it is they are looking for.

“Shiver Me Timbers, ye be right navigator! That be a place where traders make profit.” Victor Krieg responded to say in following what StoneGibbs brought up.

“Then it looks like we have a heading, alright lads, lets get busy. We got sick stallions & we’re short on stock of oranges.” SparrowJack responded to say while he was giving the order here to the others. “So then, Mr. StoneGibbs, lead us to them oranges, savvy.” He wave the attention for the navigator to lead them to where they need to go.

“Aye captain, count on it!” StoneGibbs nods in hearing an understanding the request.

Soon much of the pirates except for Professor Righteous & the sick stay below deck in the hindquarters for the unwell mates. The Mane Six group were the last ones left to tag along behind.

“Well Twilight, are we just gonna do something or what?” Rainbow Dash asked her smart friend of them getting started in helping out.

“Rainbow’s right, we gotta help these pirates get well.” Applejack nods in agreement, they can’t leave some folks staying sick like this.

“Yeah, cause if they are too sick, we can’t finish our adventures with them?” Pinkie Pie nods in being firm about what it all means, though the logic was a bit random.

“Goodness, and if that happens, getting back home will be even harder then before?” Rarity yelps in realizing how bad it mean of them getting back if not many operate a ship this big.

“Then maybe we should help them?” Spike suggested in what they can do here, help the sick get well.

“Oh yes, I agree. Twilight, can we please help them?” Fluttershy nods in feeling this was important, and really wants to help.

“Pretty please?” The CMC pleaded with cute puppy dog eyes in hoping it convinces Twilight, and…

“Of course, otherwise, we won’t be able to live with ourselves leaving sick ponies in need.” Twilight nods in feeling this was the right course of action, the sick need aid.

“Yeeaaahhh!” The CMC, Spike & Pinkie Pie cheered in hearing this, they are gonna help out now.

With that, the Mane Six group was last to leave with the professor staying behind to do what he can to help treat the sick. The rest, is up to his mates to sail, find their destine target, and get what they need to help the crew out of their scurvy illness.

Sudden Finding An Island Filled With Fruit?

At the moment, we see the Black Pearl far away from a spot nearby that’s just a medium size populated island filled with plenty of trees. And it was a strange island without a doubt, for there were plenty of fruit trees and bushes of whatever was lying around. It was like some small island that held the perfect stock of fruits that seem to magically grow. Many of the pegasus sailors were dispatched to scout around to find any capable of oranges. Even Fluttershy & Rainbow Dash were dispatch to help in the scout work. While those that were grounded, or still on the ship watch the events play out.

“So they call dat place….Fruit Island?” Applejack spoke off in recognizing the island they are briefly stocking up from.

“Neat-o! A paradise filled with fruit!” Pinkie Pie smiled off to say in knowing what they’ll get from this place.

“Sounds mighty healthy to?” Apple Bloom nods in liking the sounds of this Fruit Island, cause it’s filled with what farmers like her family live to produce, etc.

“Think there’s maybe a Veggy Island?” Sweetie Belle asked off in thinking they might come across something like that later on.

“I rather look for an island of sweets.” Scootaloo rolled her eyes in knowing what she like to dig into, some sweets.

“Well do you think it was alright for only the fliers to go and leave more of us behind?” Rarity asked the others around that only those that had wings, like Rainbow & Fluttershy, left with other pirate pegasus, like Lightning Flash, Roxas & Khazim.

“Right now, we need pegasus ponies to find the oranges firstly, anything afterwards, we can get later.” Twilight issued that they get what they need, oranges, then go for anything else after a matter is settled. “Lets just hope any traveling merchants didn’t take too many oranges yet?” She spoke in feeling this was a good place for merchants to travel by to collect fruits to sell in markets and in towns.

“Look! They’re returning!” Spike pointed out in seeing something of their pirate pals coming back.

And true to the baby dragon’s words, many of the fliers were returning, some carrying baskets that held the picked oranges they needed.

“Yo, tell chef CrisisCross that we got the needed oranges, so he better give them to the others fast!” Rainbow Dash issued off in seeing they brought in loads of oranges, now the crew’s chef needs to get started in feeding the crew this stuff.

“Um, and hopefully, we’ll have a few too, so that way, we won’t have to worry of what happened here effect us too?” Fluttershy spoke in a shy tone about them not wanting to catch the scurvy illness and be sick too.

“Oh, it’s not over yet?” Lightning Flash spoke off from flying nearby to tell the group this.

“Hugh?” The others of the Mane Six party responded in confusion, what did this guy mean.

“We check all of the island, and see that we’re the only ones here.” Roxas flew near to report that they are the only ones near the island filled with fruit.

“Right, so now be the time to get more fruits in our galley.” Khazim announced with a smile to hold a lot more baskets then one pony can carry.

“How’s about ye let them Apples help me cook some orange stew while ye take the rest of them lasses over yonder island.” CrisisCross came nearby on the deck to issue that while the others go off, he get those that are good with food to help him out.

“Very true, some of our land party will have to go over yonder to collect more?” Wilson Ramon nods in hearing this plan, they may as well restock on other food essentials.

“Heh, then lets do this, lets pillage the whole island if it be.” Victor Krieg smirked off in liking the sound of doing some pirating work.

“Woah now, lets not be too greedy! What about if other sailors come by and they need fruit?” Twilight held up her hooves to stop these guys from doing something that might be bad for others that need some food to.

“Tis not be a problem little missy, ye see, that island be magic.” Sharky smiled off nearby to tell Twilight and friends a little something about Fruit Island.

“Aye, tis true! Ye pluck the fruits of labor, and they appear…like magic!” Bones nods with a jolly face, stating that the island has reappearing fruit that comes from magic.

“COOooool!” The CMC responded in liking the sounds of that very much.

“Come on lads, lets go and round up more of the fruit!” Mr. StoneGibbs issued the order to the other crew members to start gathering more food supplies.

“Aye-Aye!” The other crew mates responded before they started to lower their lifeboats to stroke towards the target.

“Oh boy! We get to go and hunt for some tasty fruits now!” Pinkie Pie smiled to cheer in liking this kinda idea very much, it sounds fun.

“Well, if we’re lucky, maybe I’ll find something to be inspired for a new outfit or so?” Rarity spoke with some thought of something to help her in designing a dress, maybe with a fruit theme or something.

“I bet they’ll be tasty treats alright.” Sweetie smiled off in thinking how great an idea like that would be.

“Then lets get going then!” Scootaloo announced in wanting to go along and see where this takes them.

“Ye all go ahead, me and Apple Bloom gotta help around here.” Applejack spoke to let her pals know that while they help get the fruits, the Apples will help in the kitchen.

“Right, we’re needed in de kitchen, or galley as they call it?” Apple Bloom nods in knowing what they can do to help out.

“It’s okay, we won’t be long.” Fluttershy nods to say this with an honest face, with so many helping, they’ll gather plenty.

“Yeah, cause we’ll be having me to make the job real easy!” Rainbow Dash bragged out in feeling that with her helping, their picking for fruit will be a breeze.

“Hey, think maybe another island we’ll find might be a gem island?” Spike asked off this thought that just came to him. “Man, I sure be in heaven to be surrounded by loads of food then?” He licks his lips in imagining it, if there are Fruit & Veggy Islands, then surely one with loads of gem stones be a dragons meal of paradise.

“Oh Spike? Sometimes, you let your stomach think for you in your wild fantasy moments?” Twilight rolled her eyes with a slight smile in hearing the baby dragon’s thoughts.

As the mares & fillies laugh a bit at how silly the baby dragon was, many were quickly soon either flying, or lowering down to take a boat to the island, all to gather some fruit. They each were put into groups of Unicorns, Pegasus, & Earth Ponies to help spread out across the island to pick up some fruits. Those that had wings, could soar up to snatch or cut with their cutlass to drop the fruits on trees into baskets. The ones with magic used levitation spells to pile the baskets or pick some fruits they wanted to aid in. And lastly, those that are truly on the ground, were working out in making their use of strength to kick the trees to knock some fruits down to the ground, some caught them in baskets and brought them over. It wasn’t long before a good half hour went by that many that were helping to restock the ship’s galley with food.

In The Ship’s Galley, AKA The Kitchen

The scene opens to the galley of the Black Pearl, were the Apple sisters were helping CrisisCross prepare much of the oranges they got to make some tasty meals. Many of the sick were carried to the galley to sit down, and soon managed to eat something. Straight away, the crew that had the sickness started to slowly vanish.

“Argh, well done lasses, ye did good in me kitchen.” CrisisCross  nods with a proud smile in what the mare & filly did, they were a great help to speed up the meal making.

“Thanks, it was fun getting to cook here. Last time I saw it, was when me & my friends got put here by mistake?” Apple Bloom spoke off in recalling how last time, the CMC saw this and felt a little panicky at first.

“Right, when ye hid and got stowaway’d on a ship full of pirates?” Applejack rolled her eyes in recalling how much the CMC had the others worried sick when they went missing fro their cruise ship.

“Hey every pony, we’re back!” Pinkie Pie’s voice was heard which made the ones in the kitchen turn to see the Mane Six & Spike coming in with lots of baskets & sacks filled to the brim with fruit.

“And check it out, we got a hoof load of more fruits then you can count!” Rainbow Dash smiled off proudly in seeing the nice haul the group managed to obtain from the island of fruit.

“And of course, I picked out which ones were lovely and not spoiled so we wouldn’t eat anymore rotten fruit and go through such horrors and troubles.” Rarity humbly spoke in telling the rest here that she helped in making sure, they got the fruits that were lovely, any that were horribly icky, she removed them so they won’t eat something that went bad.

“And well, with this, maybe the sick can be helped out.” Fluttershy meekly spoke in feeling this can help out more of the others feel better.

“See fer ye selves, they be chowing down like them old selves again!” CrisisCross pointed out that the other crew mates were feeling as fit and fine again, in a few more moments, they’ll be back to their old selves. “Oh, and by the way, Miss. Sparkle.” He spoke in suddenly remembering something to speak to Twilight.

“Yes?” Twilight looked to the chef in what he wanted to say to her.

“Mr. StoneGibbs is with the captain, but they want ya to come to the captain’s quarters to discuss a matter of importance.” CrisisCross spoke off in what he heard fro mthe navigator, that the captain & he be waiting for the smart mare in the captain’s quarters for some business to attend to.

“Wow, sounds important?” Scootaloo replied off in hearing this, it sounds like it’s an important deal.

“Wonder what it could be?” Sweetie Belle questioned off in what kinda discussion the captain wants with Twilight.

“Guess Twilight’s gonna have to go and find out?” Spike shrug off in seeing that the smart mare has to check and see for herself.

“Hugh? Great, and we just got back….oh well?” Twilight signs in seeing what she has to do now, just her luck it seems.

With that, Twilight begins to leave out the doors to prepare to meet up with SparrowJack & StoneGibbs in whatever discussion they need to get down to.

“Alright, show me the treasures ye plundered off that there island of fruit, mateys.” CrisCross announced in wanting

Soon the Mane Six’s distraction was over much of the other crew mates wanting to see what they brought back, as many of them showed their baskets & sacks of fruit to pass around. No doubt about it, the mares from Ponyville seem to be slowly getting the hang of this sailor life style.

~

Meanwhile, In The Captain’s Quarters

The scene opens to where we see inside Captain SparrowJack’s Quarters, where StoneGibbs was with him in discussing something. StoneGibbs already told his captain that they were done with the stock up on food and were awaiting a heading which is what they are on right now. Then the door began to open before it closed, as Twilight Sparkle had soon entered the room. Apparently, she was told to join the two after helping out with the fruit stocking.

“You wanted to see in, SparrowJack?” Twilight asked off in what the captain wants with her.

“Yes, very much. And again, it’s captain..Captain SparrowJack.” SparrowJack nods to say while again, correcting Twilight in forgetting to address him by captain.

Twilight rolled her eyes in hearing that same old excuse SparrowJack keeps going on about; but may as well just skip it and get on with whatever the reason of being here is.

“So what is it you wanted to discuss with me? Our course setting on where to go next?” Twilight asked in knowing that this must have something to do of where they plot a course for their next island of adventure.

“Oh really now, ye seem like yer in a hurry now to be somewhere?” SparrowJack responded in seeing the Miss. Sparkle wanted to get down to business it seems.

“As a matter a fact, yes, you said once we help you get the keys, you’ll help us get home.” Twilight sternly pointed out in what this pirate overlord said when they meant.

“Pity, cause ya friends & ya self seem to be growing on us? Shame to lose such fine mates?” SparrowJack spoke off casually in stating that when the mares, fillies and baby dragon go, it will be lonely for the Sparrow Crew.

“Captain, I hate to interrupt yer fine time with the lass here, but can we get back to the topic here?” StoneGibbs politely held this discussion to not be sidetracked and to focus on why they are here.

“Right, I’ve check my compass, and guess where it points to?” SparrowJack replied off to his mate while showing his special compass in stating what it told him.

“How should I know?” Twilight rolled her eyes in being unsure what this captain’s compass points to if it never points north?

“Well there’s the thing? Should we be guessing in where we want to go, but it’s not truly the right path. Then of course, we follow what makes more sense in  the mystical magic arts then of logic or heart.” SparrowJack was issuing forth this manner of speaking which as haul, was confusing to figure out.

“Can you just give a straight answer?” Twilight signs to ask this from never being able to figure out the speech pattern ways of SparrowJack’s sentences or statements.

“Well gee, that’s a tough one since, I’ve never been anything but straight with it comes to fine lasses that I’ve meant?” SparrowJack shrug off to now just be teasing Twilight about being straight. “A pity I had to turn them down, oh well, life is grander that way? C’est la vie.” He shrug off in knowing that when it comes to having love, there ain’t nothing better then the love of the sea.

“Um, do I even wanna know what we just were discussing?” Twilight raised an eyebrow in being lost, where did this conversation even come from.

“Lets just say, the captain ain’t much better in being with a lass or two, without getting a slap or three from playing around.” StoneGibbs issued this forth in giving an answer about what his captain has problems in holding onto the ladies.

“In any case, the answer is simple, it’s very simple, so simple, it’s simple of simple for even simpletons.” SparrowJack responded off to address this issue away from his own personal vendetta while almost making Twilight confused to not follow along until… “The course we go….it points, to the South.” He dramatically announced where they are going, and it’s the south direction.

“The South? Why?” Twilight responded confused, why is it they are to go south here?

“Cause lass, it’s because we came near Fruit Island, and when I wager my compass on the map of where to go, it gave us an answer.” SparrowJack responded to say, lay his compass on the map, as it pointed to where his heart desired, and it soon was focusing on a certain spot of a location. “To these coordinates.” He points to the map of where their next target lies in wait here.

“Aye, but ye sure that be our heading, captain? We might be in a jam from what lies in wait there?” StoneGibbs spoke with a second thought of knowing just ‘where’ their heading, be heading for; and it’s a doozy one.

“Come StoneGibbs, have I ever been unable to escape a fate I never could conquer?” SparrowJack asked off the subject lightly, as if not having any fear over such a thing.

“Fate at sea, no, fate of battling evil & powerful forces of chaotic means, no, but with a couple of lasses, ye got lucky.” StoneGibbs shook his head off against his captain surviving the worse events, even against some mares he was near, and knowing SparrowJack, he was VERY lucky then.

“Again, I’m just gonna not even know much about that?” Twilight rolled her eyes in just not going to even ask about such a subject.

“Trust me lass, it be a tale to tell, if we had to?” StoneGibbs insured the little smart mare that if they could, they tell such a story, but their captain says otherwise.

“And again, I think I’m better off not knowing then knowing it at all.” Twilight rolled her eyes to once more, point out in not wanting to know something when she gets the picture already. “But if that was all, why did you need me?” Why did SparrowJack want to tell her of a simple heading, what else was she here for?

“Well it’s mostly so ye know of where we go next, and because I’m a good enough sport. Plus….I’m Captain SparrowJack, lass?” SparrowJack was explaining the manner of which Twilight can follow very easy, even if that last stuff said was a bit off.

And Twilight rolls her eyes again in seeing the captain go forth with his title, why she puts up with him, she’ll never know.

“Then lets head up to give the crew the word, come!” SparrowJack issued out in what they can be doing here, getting ready now.

Soon the captain was leading first out the door while Mr. StoneGibbs & Twilight were slowly the last ones to follow afterwards. Hopefully, things can still work out well for them, at least they hope so, but then again….it’s SparrowJack, so what else will be new?
