Chapter 09: North Serpent Key
Near The Northern Sea Area
The scene slowly opens towards where the Black Pearl was sailing across the sea borders of the northern coast. As of right now, the Sparrow Pirates were getting closer to finishing their journey, they have achieve in acquiring three Serpent Keys, one more to go and it’s off to claim a big reward. Right now on the ship it’s self, the Mane Six were done filling in the details of that last adventure on Spiral Mountain to the fillies, and boy were they excited from what they heard and have notice from such a show.
“Man, I can’t wait ta see wha de next island will be?” Apple Bloom spoke off in feeling excited in what they’ll come across next.
“We been to an island of beast, mazes and mountains so far?” Scootaloo pointed off each of the different island adventures they’ve seen in their young lives.
“I’m feeling so excited to not know where we’ll be next!” Sweetie Belle exclaimed with pure excitement that her horn spark a bit from this thrill of the moment of what comes next.
“Now hold them hooves there, who said ye can come along?” Applejack spoke off against this little eager matter of the fillies going on another island that maybe just as terrible as the last one.
“Well they did miss out on that last one?” Spike pointed out that last time they told the CMC to stay put, but the other times they weren’t around, the pirates brought the fillies along.
“For good reason Spike, they have to climb that awfully tall mountain, and avoid falling and facing that terrible Gido creature?” Rarity stated in recalling how they just barely survive scaling Spiral Mountain and handling a close encounter with that Gido foe.
“Yeah, but it was so awesome how it all went down, especially when the bad guy got beat!” Rainbow Dash proudly spoke this out in having no fear over the manner of how in the end, it was all good.
“Especially when learning about SparrowJack being an alicorn, who knew, right?” Pinkie Pie smiled off to mention this as something that really earn their surprise of the day; SparrowJack is an alicorn.
The gang awaited to hear something, but heard nothing…especially from their smart mare friend nearby. As they look, they saw Twilight seem pretty distracted with certain thoughts going through her very mind it seems.
“Um, Twilight….are you okay?” Fluttershy meekly spoke in a shy tone in being unsure what was troubling her friend.
“Yeah, just that….I can’t figure out how SparrowJack is an alicorn? I mean, I can figure how Professor Righteous came to know him for a long time, but what’s the captain’s story in doing all this?” Twilight explained herself in trying to figure out much about SparrowJack, why hid much of his alicorn form and be out traveling at sea. What was the story behind it?
“Doing what?” Spike asked off in not being able to understand much of the message.
“Wanting to sail the seas, earning names like being a Pirate Overlord? Even when he’s an alicorn, why live a pirate life instead of a royal life? And now he’s after the keys to get this trident, why?” Twilight felt that SparrowJack was trying to achieve something, something of which they haven’t the foggiest knowledge of understanding.
“I thought he already explain that story to us?” Fluttershy asked off in recalling they asked the question about the keys already.
“Yeah, didn’t he?” Pinkie Pie spoke off in feeling that they already did that.
“Twilight, while Mr. SparrowJack is a rather…complicated stallion, he isn’t as bad as we assume he be?” Rarity spoke in assuring her friend that such ideal facts are only just the meaning to hid one’s own inner self, so far that is.
“Right, who else would save our hids and keep his crew safe? Not some lowdown critter dat was one of them villain folk.” Applejack shrug off to mention that the captain of this pirate band ain’t all bad, some tales say they are evil, but not the Sparrow Crew.
“Yeah egghead, maybe your overthinking again, or maybe you rather this adventure not end and we don’t get back home?” Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes in mentioning what Twilight was even trying to do at this time; making an excuse to not end their sea adventure.
“Of course I do! I want us to complete this and once we finish it, they’ll help get us home.” Twilight protest in making her defense of such an objection clear.
“Then if you say so…” Sweetie Belle slowly spoke in figuring what this would mean for them/
“That would mean…” Scootaloo perk a smile on her face in coming to the correct term.
“We’ll get to continue…?” Apple Bloom issued in knowing what it means, they can have more adventure now.
“YEAH! CUTIE MARK CRUSADER PIRATES AWAY!” The CMC cheered forth in loving the idea of their adventure not ending yet.
“Well they took that well?” Spike scratched his head in feeling surprise by such enthusiasm.
“AHOY! Island approach!” The sailor above in the crow’s nest shouted out this message that earn much of the pirate crew & those also aboard their ship to.
Soon many of the sailors of the pirate gang were gathering by the front of the ship. And also coming through the crowd was the elite pirate bunch; StoneGibbs, Lightning Flash, Wilson Ramon, Sharky & Bones, CrisisCross, Roxas, Victor Krieg, Professor Righteous, Khazim, even Jack the Monkey riding on Captain SparrowJack’s back as the latter two came up to take the front lead. The Mane Six, the CMC & Spike came up to see what was the commotion, and saw what island destination they arrived at. It was a strange darken land where it look like the ground was dry as gray dirt, trees without leaves that look dead, and even a strangely medieval fortress looking structure that was carved into a mountain. The mountain wasn’t as tall as Spiral Mountain, but it look like a volcano with it’s open spot. The gang saw this ruin landscape, and began to have chatters among themselves.
“Argh, it be thy ruins of Cabal Fortress!” StoneGibbs spoke off in announcing what manner of place they have arrived at.
“Hugh?” The Ponyville gang responded in not knowing what sorta area that is or the meaning behind it.
“Ye mean yah land-lovers never heard of this place?” Lightning Flash raised an eyebrow in seeing that some newcomers never heard of this place or know the history.
“Tis a dark place, where an evil dictator ruled thee land ye see.” CrisisCross spoke off with a stern expression on his face in addressing the situation as it maybe.
“Aye, they say the scallywag heard there be treasure & setup a fort ta keep venturing’ swashbuckle pirates out?” Victor Krieg nods slowly with a stern expression, whoever lived in that fort was looking for treasure; maybe another key they seek.
“But even though he kept it safe, his troops began to question the treasure’s existence? It lead to mutiny!” Wilson Ramon firmly stated the manner of what happened no sooner of an evil dictating character’s mind and attitude that effected the troops he hired.
“Mutiny?” Fluttershy yelped in hearing this, sounds rather scary now.
“Yeah, the troops went against their dictator & his history in the making…is in ruin.” Roxas stated that in the end, this Cabal Fortress was left to be slowly decrypting as time moves on and it’s forgotten, but is still recalled in stories.
“Not only that, some almost feel the place be haunted by specters?” Sharky spoke off in feeling a tense of a chill to his bone of spooky ghost that haunt the place.
“Aye, them ghosty’s might try to catch us, and never let us go?” Bones held himself in fear of picturing that happening to them, they might not like that at all.
Much of the crew were beginning to ponder if things could be alright, they heard many sea tales and about ghost, especially vengeful spirits of sailors that appear to seek revenge against those that made them perish at sea. Would it be safe to go explore the island after hearing some of this. Even the Ponyville gang were curious to wonder how they can handle this?
“Avast, Me Hearties! Wha’s all this gibber-jabber nonsense?” SparrowJack spoke off in stating a fact here that seems to be going around. “Are we gonna let a few ghost stories keep us from the treasure? Don’t forget, we have somethin’ those old departed lads didn’t have.” He showed his compass out in having the crew settle their worries of their fear of not finding the treasure.
“Ahhhh, ye compass that points where ye heart desires!” StoneGibbs smiled off to say this in recalling the captain’s special compass. “It maybe our best chance ta find that final key!” He can see that when others never found where the North Serpent Key be, they have the ‘right’ means to get it.
“Precisely my point.” SparrowJack smiled off to proudly state that this was what he was going for. “So I’ll be asking which lads will be coming along with some of ye guard the ship. So any takers?” He looked around to find any that would wanna venture with him on the next adventure here.
“US!” The CMC raised their hooves up in wanting to go forth on this adventure with much excitement.
“What?” Rarity, Applejack & Twilight yelped in seeing this, the fillies are wanting to explore what could be a haunted island.
“Well now, that surprise almost scared me more then any ghost tale?” SparrowJack slowly responded in seeing this shocker, brave stallions aren’t speaking, yet wee little fillies are; awkward, isn’t it? “But very well, ye wee lasses miss the last boat, so hope aboard fer this one!” He shrug off to say in feeling it don’t matter, all can be welcome to have more adventures with the pirate group.
“Aye-Aye!” The fillies saluted in willing and awaiting to join the fun.
“Anyone else?” SparrowJack looked around to anyone else, surely if three fillies can brave this, then surely some of the others here can to.
“Argh, where ye be if ye gone in a supernatural place, without a matey that’s superstitious? I’m in too, says I!” StoneGibbs shook off his head in thinking that he best go along, if not, who else can be careful in superstitious territory like this place.
“Hah-hah-hah! Be it pony or beast, or even phantom spooks! I’ll grind them to the dust!” Victor Krieg laughed off all hearty-like, as he was daring to go to.
“And blow them from here to the gallows!” Khazim raised his mini-cannons, as he’ll also go along as well.
“Argh, they try somethin’, I’ll cook them and serve them fer supper!” CrisisCross proclaimed this with his knives seen to threaten any ghost that they’ll wish they gone to the afterlife when he gets through with them.
“Count me in!” Sharky held up a left hopf to say he’ll be joining to.
“Me four, or am I five?” Bone did the same thing as Sharky, but was lost in the number count.
“I won’t wanna miss this one!” Lightning Flash proudly spoke in his daring manner of wanting to join the fun to.
“There maybe lock passages, I’m joining to.” Roxas stated that if there are any lock things, he can unlock them.
“Any other takers?” SparrowJack asked off in seeing only a few of the bravest are coming.
“Eek-eek!” Jack the Monkey leaps up to make his monkey calls.
“Yes, I know ye wanna come, I meant any other takers?” SparrowJack spoke off in looking to Jack in seeing the monkey is eager to join, but he’s still looking for anyone else.
“Me and the professor will watch the ship with half the crew staying behind. Ye got enough strong hooves ta keep ye safe.” Wilson Ramon issued off to say this to the captain of who will be running things on this ship.
“Yes, besides…we need to keep the other three keys safeguarded.” Professor Righteous nods in agreement, taking a lot of their strongest mates and leaving so few here would mean the keys they have be at risk of being taken.
“Good on ye, alright, then lets…” SparrowJack nods while seeing the other crew mates are near him, as they prepare to go however…
“Hold it! We’re coming too!” Twilight stops the pirates from leaving to say that she and her friends will come to.
“Yeah, you think we’ll let you have all the fun here?” Rainbow Dash stating they aren’t gonna miss out on another grand adventure.
“Besides, dat place look mighty suspicious ta us?” Applejack stated in looking to that fortress, something about where it is seems…mighty strange.
“Yeah, it looks like whoever built this place, set it up onto of a volcano?” Pinkie Pie pointed out something that might equal a problem to the gang, like if that mountain blows it’s top.
“A dormant volcano, thing hasn’t been active fer years.” SparrowJack pointed out easily to have the worrying mares not worry about it, the volcano won’t be active and they’ll be fine.
“Oh, well…that’s nice to know.” Fluttershy slowly spoke in feeling a bit more glad to hear this.
“But we’re coming along, to make sure the fillies are in no danger!” Rarity spoke off in stating her own cause for worry was her sister and her little friends.
“I’ll come to….ugh, yeh know…to protect the girls who need…protecting the other girls?” Spike spoke when he stood near Rarity, but yelped in how he was trying to sell himself as a hero between his sentences.
“Hugh, an folks ponder my own puzzlin’ sentences?” SparrowJack stated in how Spike was trying to look pretty convincing, but the lad had trouble speaking out. “Then welcome to our next exploration bunch, savvy!” He happily spoke in allowing more company to join them on their adventure.
“Aye!” The crew cheered in feeling raring and ready to get going.
Now the scene focuses on where we see many of the pirates getting themselves ready to set out for the next island of adventure. The Mane Six & the CMC along with Spike were gonna tag along, the older ponies could only hope that this last key won’t be as hard as the last three.

Within The Ruin Fortress?
At this moment within the window area of Cabal Fortress, were some hidden shadowy figures. As the camera zooms in where they are, we see who they are precisely. They are General Ogun & the Katastrophy Brothers: Khaos, Kalamity & Konfusion. They all had binoculars in watching the Black Pearl, as it sent out it’s rowboats with those planning to come onto the island to reach Cabal Fortress to find the final key. But what they heroes don’t know, is that the villains are expecting their arrival here.
“At last, they finally are here?” General Ogun spoke please to seeing the heroes have at last arrive, all according to what they were hoping for.
“Yeah-yeah, they’re here! They’re here!” Konfusion was happily cheering in seeing their foes have arrived. “Pow!” Then he got bash on the head by Khaos for his brainless happy go-attitude.
“You dolt! We can see that from up here?” Khaos remotely issued this to his brother for trying to keep reminding them of the issue.
“So what are we gonna do, General Ogun…sir?” Kalamity asked their general in what they are gonna do here?
“We shall wait until those pirates and those element bearers of harmony enter the fortress.” General Ogun explained the first step to their plan to perform. “Once they enter these walls, we must separate them as much as possible. And then we’ll go aboard their ship that will have lesser guards and snatch the three Serpent Keys they hold in their possession.” He explained that they shall divide and conquer their foes to secure the true prizes inside that pirate ship.
“Divide & Conquer.” Kalamity spoke off in knowing the strategy as it’s name states.
“Oooooh, you know I think I read that in a book somewhere?” Konfusion replied off in hearing this, that sounded like a catchy title.
“So when do we go and get those keys?” Khaos asked off when they go and snatch the three keys the pirates have?
“You don’t, fools.” General Ogun snapped off sternly in stating these three chaotic fools aren’t going in. “In case you forgotten, Gido failed to get the last key, and his failure was paid with a hefty price….” He reminded those that one of their associated allies failed them miserably. “Frsuvhmm…” Then near him, something of a swirling vortex appeared off his front appearance. “As I had him become another to be sent into the Void and never seen again.” Yep, General Ogun took care of Gido by swallowing him into his void and is now lost forever.
The Katastrophy Brothers made sheepish chuckles while being nervous, after Gido failed in his mission, General Ogun punished him….really badly to the guy outside the Iron Crow Golem. Since Gido’s only best card was that special golem weapon, with that out of commission and buried under the rubble of Spiral Mountain, Gido’s use was…expired.
“The one to snatch the keys, Mistress Demona had acquired the aid of an infamous bounty hunter. Here he is now.” General Ogun stated to explain their employer acquired the aid of another, and turns to what was behind them.
Soon entering from the darkness of the room, some creature entered from the opened doorway while making so heavy boot stomping sounds that even made the Katastrophy Brothers quiver in fear. A muscular unicorn stallion with apparently back-straight spike mane & tail, pointy ears, and eye color is unknown. He wears a dark blue & dark gray suit mix, mouth covered by mask, a dark tan blue vest to keep things, dark blue hoof bands of steel, ankle jewel bands around his ankles with blue gems, and his eyes are from a spec. sunglasses of a red color. Make no mistake, this guy looks serious, and could break things like they were toothpicks.
“No way? That’s the hired Bounty Hunter!” Khaos yelped off in seeing who it was they hired here.
“I don’t believe my eyes? It’s…it’s….it’s…?” Kalamity was rubbing his eyes in almost unbelieving what they are seeing.
“It’s none other then….then….?” Konfusion was muttering his words in having a hard time saying who was here.
“SHIV KATALL!?” The Katastrophy Brothers announced the name of this new character, the bounty hunter by the name of…Shiv Katall!
“Yes, a highly expensive bounty hunter, but well worth the price feed. You know what to do, right?” General Ogun spoke in highly crediting the service of having Shiv Katall here makes things easier.
“I know the mission. Retrieve the Serpent Keys from the Black Pearl & then snatch the final key when they find it.” Shiv Katall spoke with a deep male voice from his mask vizier, sounding like a tough pro in his career as a bounty hunter; and that he’ll complete his assign task mission.
“Exactly! Now, we’ll try to keep those meddling pirates busy by scattering their forces, weakening them to the point….of their doom!” General Ogun stated forth in what they shall do here to make sure the Sparrow Pirates will meet their tragic end here.
“Oh yeah!” Khaos responded with a smile in liking that.
“Good plan there.” Kalamity nods with a smile in agreeing to that.
“Very thought out.” Konfusion stated to say in what he thought of that plan.
“Don’t just stand their, GET TO WORK!” General Ogun shouted off to get the three bumbling fools, to work instead of standing around.
“Ye-ye-ye-yes sir!” The Katastrophy Brothers nervously saluted to respond before rushing off to do their job; as long as they don’t mess it up from their stupidity.
“Time for me to do my part now….” Shiv Katall remotely issued this off in having heard what needs to be done, and prepares to leave.
Soon the bounty hunter leaves the room while General Ogun continues to watch the heroes arrive on the island. Soon the pirates’ group won’t know what true terror is until they set foot in Cabal Fortress…where the bad guys have set it up to trap them. With that, the scene fads away from what’s going on here…
~
Pass The Shores Towards Cabal Fortress!
We soon enter the scene where we see that after the Sparrow Pirates had park their rowboats on the shores, they along with the Mane Six, CMC & Spike, climb up to stand near the forgotten ruins of what was once known as Cabal Fortress. It maybe a bit rundown and old, looking ready to come apart, but there were still hidden dangers inside, so any who enter…must be extremely careful.
“There it is crew, Cabal Fortress?” SparrowJack address the matter of where they stood, they were near the ruin fort. “Now remember, if ye see somethin’ move….ye have permission to fire.” He gave the order to his crew in what to happen if they run into anything.
“Um, wouldn’t it be better to look before we leap, SparrowJack?” Twilight suggested a more better course of action then a straight shot and ask questions later tactic.
“First off, it’s a deserted island, no citizens be smart enough to stick around. Second, if any enemies are afoot, we need to be careful. Third…it’s Captain, Captain SparrowJack.” SparrowJack explained the manner to Twilight so she may follow, and again corrected the matter of speaking his name with a captain title.
“Hugh, fine…whatever?” Twilight signs to roll her eyes, this guy really loves to be address as captain much.
Soon the scene shifts towards where we see an opened door of where everyone slowly enters a darken hall. The gang are now entering the Cabal Fortress, and it looks like a near wreck inside as it is outside. From the squeaky floor boards, the cobwebs and molly wallpaper coming down to where one sees the inner wood & bridge plates, this place is spelt for being creepy.
“Argh, tis givin’ me them unpleasant feelin’ here, captain?” StoneGibbs stated off in looking around this area, it gives the stallion that believes superstitious a harder time to handle.
“Ah relax old timer, we got each other’s backs.” Lightning Flash spoke off to ease the guy from feeling upset and cautious.
“Fer once, Lightning Flash said somethin’ that makes sense.” CrisisCross made a sly smile in making this as a joke.
“Ha-Ha-Hah, haven’ the lad lecture us in this haunted place, we better not be senile?” Victor Krieg laughed off jolly-like in making this a little humor to lighten the mood.
“Tis place look more stately if better cared fer?” Khazim stated how the place look much more nicer if taken better care of.
“Alright, spread out and find something suspicious here?” SparrowJack orders his lads in what to do, they need to find something to give them a hint of where to go.
After about a full hour went by, much of the party was searching all of the rooms of the fortress before meeting in a grand hall opening where they meant underneath a large portrait of the once living dictator that rule this place before he vanished. The Mane Six & CMC along with Spike were able to meet up. Only SparrowJack, Lightning Flash, CrisisCross, Victor Krieg, Roxas Khazim, Sharky & Bones were seen with a few other pirate sailors, only Mr. StoneGibbs and a few other shipmates weren’t here yet.
“Well this don’t make no doubloon sense?” SparrowJack rub his head in being very puzzled and confusion, where was that they are seeking to find.
“Hey, have you check what was hiding behind this giant portrait of a creepy dictator?” Pinkie Pie pointed out something that look like a good spot to check.
“Yeah right, that’s like the oldest trick in the book, like we’ll find….” Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes in thinking there was no way what they are searching for is hidden by such easy methods, right…?
Then Pinkie Pie moved the large portrait in a weird manner that reacted to shake, and then some noisy tears are heard. And then before anyone knew it, the portrait moved backwards to reveal what was some sorta hidden passageway into a tunneled path that lead directly behind to into the dormant volcano. Now everyone was shock that they found this, and by the pink pony to boot.
“My goodness, there was something behind that?” Rarity gasped in shocking surprise in what they have found.
“Nice work Pinkie, ye found a clue.” Applejack patted her friend’s back in giving her praise for a job well done.
“But what is it?” Fluttershy asked off in not having any idea what this was.
“A secret portrait passage, it may lead into the dormant volcano?” Twilight issued off in what she could figure by the tunnel path of what it was.
“You-You mean the final key is in the volcano area?” Spike nervously spoke in having a bad feeling about this case.
“Well one was in a beast-filled place?” Apple Bloom pointed off in what danger one key was in.
“The other two were a maze & mountain?” Sweetie Belle stated the last other two places that had the keys.
“And now an abandon fortress, how awesome is this?” Scootaloo finishes in where they’ll find the final key hidden; in a volcano.
“Sir, what about StoneGibbs and the others? Should we wait fer them?” One random pirate mate reported that they are still short some mateys here.
“They’ll catch up soon, fer now…we gotta find us that key.” SparrowJack issued off that he has fate those not here will follow their trail; especially from an open secret passage way that ain’t hard to miss.
“Aye-Aye!” The crew responded in hearing the orders and are raring to find the key.
Now we see the group entering the darken passageway to follow it down to wherever it may lead them. This may explain some cases of why the treasure was never found if there was this pathway, but then why would the previous owner not tell his own troops. SparrowJack concluded it might’ve been because he knew his own troops were as greedy as him and kept the location a secret from them of where he found it, but never reach it; and that lead to a mutiny.
“Keep them eyes sharp & light them horns. We need light.” CrisisCross issued off what they need, the unicorns are making it lighter in this dark tunnel by their magic horns.
“Aye, ye think they at least leave torches here?” Victor Krieg stated that the place had nothing lit for whoever would come down here.
“It’s so dark, I can barely see?” Lightning Flash stated that it’s hard for some to even see in the dark.
“I can lit me fuss and blow us some light?” Khazim smiled off to hold up his mini-cannons and was about to lit the fuse when…
“Ugh, how’s about lets not and save the trouble of burring ourselves or starting up the volcano, kay?” Spike nervously ask that the guy not do that, the last thing they wanna see….is going KABOOM!
Suddenly, someone step on a loose tile that activated something unseen by the group. And by the time the Mane Six were coming near a floor spot, it reacted to their pressure to…OPEN A HIDDEN TRAPDOOR!
“WAAAhhhh!” The Mane Six and Spike screamed out from falling down a trap door.
“Blimmy! Them lasses fell down that hole?” Skarky gasped in looking down the hole in where their mare pals went.
“Aye, but where does it go from here?” Bones nods off to seeing this and was worried where this trap took the mares.
“Captain, permission to find them.” Roxas turn to his captain in requesting he goes to find their missing friends.
“Permission granted, but be careful lad.” SparrowJack nods with a firm face in allowing this while wanting Roxas to be careful.
Soon Roxas went off to jump down the hidden trapdoor to search for the missing mares and baby dragon. The others were a bit concern and worried, but if anyone could find the Mane Six and get them out of a stuck or lock situation, Roxas was the stallion for the job.
“Eek-Eek! Eeeek!” Jack The Monkey reacted to seeing something, it looked like a floating banana to which the curious monkey leaves the others to follow the fruit.
“Hey Jack, where are you going?” Sweetie Belle shouted off in seeing the monkey running off.
“Wait fer us, ye hear now!” Apple Bloom issued to say while the fillies had to catch the pirate monkey pet.
“Great, chasing a monkey again?” Scootaloo rolled her eyes in seeing this felt familiar to them.
Now the CMC were chasing after Jack while not knowing that it was a set plot done by the Katastrophy Brothers who snickered off in the dark while not being seen. No one could see with it being so dark that they can sneak by and off real easily to separate the next bunch here. The other pirate crew mates saw that even more of their party band was splitting off pretty thin here.
“Alright, ye stallions, spread out, find anyone that isn’t here, and report back to the entrance in one half hour.” SparrowJack made a quick order for them to spread out, find their missing pals and meet up outside the entrance point.
“Aye-aye, captain.” The other mates saluted in hearing this before heading off to search.
“The rest of yah, keep with me? This place just got a whole lot more treacherous?” SparrowJack responded to his elite members in what they best do now, something sneaky was going on around here; and they need to keep a sharp eye out.
CrisisCross, Victor Krieg, Lightning Flash, Khazim, Sharky & Bones all nodded silently in agreeing with their captain on that subject. The rest of the pirate crew continues to venture through the inside part of the dormant volcano to search for a few things; the Serpent Key, their missing mates, and figuring out what was going on here.

Aboard The Black Pearl
The scene shifts towards the Black Pearl, as many of the pirates were keeping watch and being causally careful of any attacks. The only ones around to lead them were Professor Righteous & Wilson Ramon that would hold down the fort, protect their ship & crew, along with the keys they have.
“Professor Righteous, does everything feel shipshape to ye?” Wilson Ramon asked forth to his friend in wanting to see that all is well.
“I believe our crew has secure all areas, so no one will sneak aboard?” Professor Righteous explained forth that they have all corners of their ship secure, it be hard for even a mouse to sneak pass.
“Aye, but I got a worrying feeling, whoever is after the keys is calling in some unexpected helpers?” Wilson Ramon responded to say this with an uneasy feeling, that they aren’t being careful enough.
“True, the Katastrophy Brothers, Dizchord, and Gido….all random foes that could be hired for assistance?” Professor Righteous slowly nods in agreement, the obstacles of competition for the keys, are different but they are more likely hired assistance.
As the two elite pirates were chatting, within the Captain’s Quarters, a window was opened from behind SparrowJack’s office set area. And soon Shiv Katall enters the area, and begins to snoop around in searching for his targets. That’s when his mask’ eyes glowed in letting him look around before stopping near a drawer, and forcing it open to locate the three Serpent Keys; he hit the jackpot.
“So, these are the Serpent Keys? Well I’ve done my part, now to book it out of here?” Shiv Katall spoke off in studying the three keys before putting them away and planning to get out of here before he’s discovered.
“Tell us professor, who be powerful enough to command such a rugged bunch?” Wilson Ramon’s voice was heard outside the captain’s room while Shiv Katall noticed he’s about to have company soon.
“There are many evil creatures on both land, air and sea, but too many different motives and reasons cancel out who could be behind wanting the keys & the trident?” Professor Righteous spoke when he and Wilson Ramon enter the room of where SparrowJack comes into while explaining the manner that those they seen, are working for something or someone higher in power.
“Then we best keep our eyes pilled.” Wilson Ramon stated their best guess in what they do, keep a sharp eye out for any suspicious activity.
“Noted. Hopefully we keep the keys safe in our hold.” Professor Righteous responded in thinking that so long as the enemy doesn’t have the keys, they can’t cause any trouble.
As Shiv Katall heard all that after he snuck out the back window and shut it without being noticed. As he was scaling down the back of the ship, he was thinking over what he heard those pirates say.
“Heh, you can try, but I’ve gotten what I came for. And soon…” Shiv Katall issued from using his magic to levitate himself and the keys he holds. “You’ll lose more then the keys when the island’s volcano isn’t as dormant as you think?” He responded in hinting an event that will take place eventually soon.
Soon Shiv Katall leaves the scene with the three Serpent Keys in his possession without ever letting anyone know of his presence. One silent teleportation spell did the trick, and by the time any realize what happened, it’ll be too late.

Deep In The Volcano Behind Cabal Fortress
Now we focus on what was happening with SparrowJack’s group as they were continuing their paste to find something to lead them to the final prize that is the treasure, hidden here. The pirates finally arrive near a secret door so clearly fuse to look like dried lava flow, that the strong stallions pushed it to find…another hidden alter with a familiar object; the last Serpent Key.
“Wow?” Lightning Flash, CrisisCross, Victor Krieg, Khazim, Sharky & Bones responded in seeing the final Serpent Key of the North was hidden here.
“At last, with this gents, our elusive journey is almost over.” SparrowJack proudly stated, as he was going up the stairs to reach for the key.
Suddenly without warning, a bright flash sphere appeared in the room, blinding everyone’s eyesight. And then when it was over, something was a miss here, and that….the missing key.
“The key?” Sharky & Bones yelped off in seeing what was gone from sight.
“It’s vanished?” Lightning Flash stated what was here was gone in a flash.
“Where it go?” Victory Krieg asked off in where the final key disappeared to.
“Neheheheheheeeehhh…” Then evil snickering is heard behind to where the pirates saw some shady cloak trio characters making a brake for it out the same entrance they came from; and with the key.
“They stole the key!” CrisisCross angrily pointed out the thieves that stole what they found.
“Captain, orders?” Khazim asked off in awaiting for the captain to say the word.
“Ye know the drill, shot first, then ask questions. Now after them Lily-Livered Thieving Scallywags!” SparrowJack remarked off to state while bringing his cutlass out in announcing the attack call.
“WROOUAAaghhh!” The roaring battle cries of the pirates are heard, as they draw their blades & crystal pistols to charge after those that try to steal from them.
Soon we see that the thieves fleeing were the Katastrophy Brothers, as they were looking back in seeing the pirates were closely on their tail.
“Heh, they sound really tick off right now. Perfect for the plan.” Khaos made a silly smile in seeing they got the pirates coming at them.
“Yeah-yeah! They’ll chase us and rush over that set trap, and trap them good.” Konfusion happily stated in what they are gonna do here now.
“Ha-ha-hah….and as long as we have the key, victory can’t slip from our grasp!” Kalamity laughs off while having the key in his grip, nothing could stop them now.
“Eek-Eek!” The Jack the Monkey came out of nowhere, and then snatched the key that was exposed with his tail before rushing off the way the foolish brothers ran from. The Katastrophy Brothers cease running to realize, someone just snatch the key from under them, and it ain’t the first time neither.
“Oh come on, not that the monkey again?” Khaos groans to complain in seeing that little monkey pest again.
“He took the key we stole again?” Konfusion pointed out confused in what just happened here, again it seems.
“And he’s heading back to the pirates. Come on!” Kalamity issued in where that troublesome prime ape is going, and they now chase after the monkey again.
Soon Jack was rushing straight towards his Sparrow Pirate buddies with a little key around his tail.
“Looky there, it’s Jack! He’s got the key!” Lightning Flash spoke in seeing their monkey pet pal coming, and with something they were chasing.
“Come here boy, we got’cha! Yer safe now.” SparrowJack gave a warm welcome sign to the monkey to come to them so Jack & the key will be safe.
Soon the pirates pass over something when Jack leaps up to be on SparrowJack and showed him the key. But then without another word of warning, something glowed around the floor that spread upwards like an invisible window box cube. The pirates saw this surprise act, and tried to bash through with muscles, but it was no good.
“Eventually, I seem to hav spoken too soon?” SparrowJack responded with puzzled blank eyes in seeing this predicament was the opposite when he said they are safe.
The Katastrophy Brothers ran until they bumped into General Ogun that came out of nowhere.
“You made it in time, the pirates have fallen into Shiv Katall’s Magic Barrier Prison Cube, once in, they can’t get out. And I’ve set the bombs by my Grinders & Growls to set off a chain reaction.” General Ogun explained the manner of what was going on as of right now to the foolish brothers. “Now quickly, give me the key?” He asked in wanting the key they stole from the pirates.
“Gruhm…Ugh….” Khaos struggled with his words here in worry.
“Yeah um…” Kalamity yelped off a bit unsure in what to say.
“About that?” Konfusion spoke in having a bad feeling about their report.
“Well? Where is it?” General Ogun asked off annoyed by the long stall, where was the key these fools stole before they caught the pirates.
“The monkey took it?” The foolish brothers spoke in union of who actually has the key right now.
“WHAaaaaaat!” General Ogun yelled out mildly in hearing this, these fools let the final key slip their grasp.
Then without warning, coming near the magically trapped pirates were the CMC; as Apple Bloom, Scootaloo & Sweetie Belle saw this after they lost Jack the Monkey to find the Sparrow Crew..
“Look! It’s Captain SparrowJack & our friends?” Sweetie Belle stated in who they saw and look to be in trouble.
“They seem trap in this weird box thing?” Apple Bloom stated in what they are seeing here that was done by magic.
“Hey! Can you guys hear us?” Scootaloo called out in wanting the pirates to respond.
The pirates were trying to talk back, but while they heard the CMC’s voices, the fillies can’t hear the stallions. The magic cube box must prevent sound from entering outside, but inside’s a different story, sorta.
“No good Scootaloo, this thing cuts off sound?” Apple Bloom shook her head in seeing they can’t talk to their friends since sound can escape this box thing.
“Then lets try to bust it open?” Scootaloo stated another idea in what they can do here.
“Well, we can try? I hope this works?” Sweetie Belle spoke in feeling that it’s the only thing they can do apparently.
“This isn’t good? This wasn’t the plan to go by?” General Ogun remarked off in seeing the situation from a hidden location. “We have to report this to Demona at once?” He stated that this must be reported of the turn of events.
“I don’t wanna tell her?” Khaos shook his head off in wanting nothing to do with that.
“I already saw how mad she got.” Kalamity stated with being fearful of such an idea.
“And I saw it and almost shead my fur?” Konfusion stated in terror that seeing Demona mad is scary.
“Oooh, fine? I’ll do it…you BIG babies?” General Ogun slapped his forehead to moan off in annoyance by such sniveling whiners.
As the evil foes hid within the shadows, they prepare to make contact with their mistress. All while the ponies below try to figure out a way to escape the magic invisible cage box the pirates are stuck in. This could take a while for things to get slowly settle here?
~
Meanwhile, Where The Mane Six Are Station At?
The scene shows a darken dungeon where the Mane Six are standing, leaning or sitting around, and Spike was trying to pick the lock with his nails, but it was no use. Almost an hour has pass since the mares and baby dragon were separated and have been cooped up in this place. And at the moment of passing time, Pinkie Pie brought out a harmonic, and was play a solo melody fitting those living in a dungeon cell. And if that wasn’t enough, she started to play some sorta ‘Blues’ theme song she just seem to make up to fit the picture of their currency.
Pinkie Pie: Oh…we’re’s trapped in a dungeon cell?
Yeah we gone and got our selves stuck here now?
The others stared at Pinkie sitting on a bench where shades and look like a gloomy blues playing pony that was, well…singing the blues.
Pinkie Pie: We done can’t get out of here?
Not with magic, cause it’s magic proof!
Pinkie’s blue song continues with another playing of her harmonic for the long pause effect. Courtse this song was stretching out so far to cause everyone to feel the blues.
“AAAAaugh!” Then finally, Rainbow Dash snapped to snatch the harmonic out of Pinkie’s hold. “Enough with that corny harmonic and singing the blues stuff, Pinkie?” Rainbow Dash snapped off to say in feeling like she’s losing her mind.
“Right, think it’s gone an done make some of us loopy?” Applejack nods in stating how Rainbow is behaving could make anyone act that way.
“I’m too beautiful to spend my life behind bars?” Rarity groans to dramatically complain over her situation.
“Don’t worry Rarity, Twilight’s thinking of something? Ugh, right?” Spike tried to assure Rarity that everything be alright, and looked to Twilight for an answer.
“I’m not sure, whoever made this…wanted nothing to get putt even by magic or explosive work?” Twilight stated in not having an answer since their dungeon cell seems pretty sturdy from whatever craftsmanship made it.
“Oh dear, then we’re really gonna be stuck here…forever?” Fluttershy spoke in starting to feel like they can’t get out of this at all.
“Not on our watches, lasses!” Mr. StoneGibbs’ voice was heard outside the door and from the little window, the gang saw him there.
“Mr. StoneGibbs?” The Mane Six responded in surprise to see that face again.
“Click!” Then the door was heard unlocking, and soon another pony was near the pirate the gang was familiar with. “Forgetting some pony else?” Roxas spoke off in showing that he was nearby to open the way.
“Roxas? How’d you do that?” Spike was lost, how this guy managed to open a door that one needs a key and can’t get out even with magic and explosive works.
“Hey, I’m the stallion who’s good with unlocking things.” Roxas stated about his natural talent in what he does.
“We meant up with others from our crew & heard the story. Now lets…” StoneGibbs was speaking in what to do when…
“BOOM-BOOM-BOOM!/Grugrugrufruvhmmm….” Suddenly, explosive noises are heard from afar but the rumbling noises shook the place that made everyone finch.
“Goodness! What was that?” Rarity asked off in being surprise, where that come from.
“Sounded like explosions and a rumbling noise? Is some pony hungry?” Pinkie Pie asked off a random question after stating some god earlier facts.
“By The Code Of Pirating! Some scoundrels have set off the dormant volcano’s reaction!” Mr. StoneGibbs exclaimed in due shock of what may have happened here.
“And…that means?” Rainbow Dash asked off slowly in not following that issue.
“The volcano is going to erupt and us along with it?” Twilight explained the case with shock eyes, they’re sitting on a NOW active volcano.
“Great Apple Buck Season! We gotta find them youngin’s and vamoose?” Applejack yelped in shock that they gotta find the fillies and get out.
“They’re likely with our captain, we’ll meet them back on the ship.” Roxas explained the manner of what maybe happening as they speak.
“Wait, shouldn’t we go search for them instead?” Fluttershy asked off if they should go and find their friends.
“Trust us lass, ye not wanna be in the move of a ‘ruptin’ volcano! Besides, the captain always finds a way to escape death perils, it be his mysterious secret of his.” StoneGibbs issued to explain that they’ll be cooked if they don’t get moving away from this dangerous island, besides, their captain is sure to bring everyone safe and out of harms way.
“Oh man, I know dragons can handle volcanos, but maybe we should listen here?” Spike clap his head in feeling that while he could be fine, this mess of volcano lava maybe too hot for ponies to take.
“Alright, lead the way.” Twilight lightly nods in getting the issue, as they all need to move it quickly…
With nothing much else to go with, the Mane Six & Spike followed StoneGibbs & Roxas with the other pirate sailors out of their dungeon chamber to return to the Black Pearl. Hopefully the others will get back to them as soon as they can….

Part 1, Part 2 Next...
Chapter 09: North Serpent Key
Near The Northern Sea Area
The scene slowly opens towards where the Black Pearl was sailing across the sea borders of the northern coast. As of right now, the Sparrow Pirates were getting closer to finishing their journey, they have achieve in acquiring three Serpent Keys, one more to go and it’s off to claim a big reward. Right now on the ship it’s self, the Mane Six were done filling in the details of that last adventure on Spiral Mountain to the fillies, and boy were they excited from what they heard and have notice from such a show.
“Man, I can’t wait ta see wha de next island will be?” Apple Bloom spoke off in feeling excited in what they’ll come across next.
“We been to an island of beast, mazes and mountains so far?” Scootaloo pointed off each of the different island adventures they’ve seen in their young lives.
“I’m feeling so excited to not know where we’ll be next!” Sweetie Belle exclaimed with pure excitement that her horn spark a bit from this thrill of the moment of what comes next.
“Now hold them hooves there, who said ye can come along?” Applejack spoke off against this little eager matter of the fillies going on another island that maybe just as terrible as the last one.
“Well they did miss out on that last one?” Spike pointed out that last time they told the CMC to stay put, but the other times they weren’t around, the pirates brought the fillies along.
“For good reason Spike, they have to climb that awfully tall mountain, and avoid falling and facing that terrible Gido creature?” Rarity stated in recalling how they just barely survive scaling Spiral Mountain and handling a close encounter with that Gido foe.
“Yeah, but it was so awesome how it all went down, especially when the bad guy got beat!” Rainbow Dash proudly spoke this out in having no fear over the manner of how in the end, it was all good.
“Especially when learning about SparrowJack being an alicorn, who knew, right?” Pinkie Pie smiled off to mention this as something that really earn their surprise of the day; SparrowJack is an alicorn.
The gang awaited to hear something, but heard nothing…especially from their smart mare friend nearby. As they look, they saw Twilight seem pretty distracted with certain thoughts going through her very mind it seems.
“Um, Twilight….are you okay?” Fluttershy meekly spoke in a shy tone in being unsure what was troubling her friend.
“Yeah, just that….I can’t figure out how SparrowJack is an alicorn? I mean, I can figure how Professor Righteous came to know him for a long time, but what’s the captain’s story in doing all this?” Twilight explained herself in trying to figure out much about SparrowJack, why hid much of his alicorn form and be out traveling at sea. What was the story behind it?
“Doing what?” Spike asked off in not being able to understand much of the message.
“Wanting to sail the seas, earning names like being a Pirate Overlord? Even when he’s an alicorn, why live a pirate life instead of a royal life? And now he’s after the keys to get this trident, why?” Twilight felt that SparrowJack was trying to achieve something, something of which they haven’t the foggiest knowledge of understanding.
“I thought he already explain that story to us?” Fluttershy asked off in recalling they asked the question about the keys already.
“Yeah, didn’t he?” Pinkie Pie spoke off in feeling that they already did that.
“Twilight, while Mr. SparrowJack is a rather…complicated stallion, he isn’t as bad as we assume he be?” Rarity spoke in assuring her friend that such ideal facts are only just the meaning to hid one’s own inner self, so far that is.
“Right, who else would save our hids and keep his crew safe? Not some lowdown critter dat was one of them villain folk.” Applejack shrug off to mention that the captain of this pirate band ain’t all bad, some tales say they are evil, but not the Sparrow Crew.
“Yeah egghead, maybe your overthinking again, or maybe you rather this adventure not end and we don’t get back home?” Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes in mentioning what Twilight was even trying to do at this time; making an excuse to not end their sea adventure.
“Of course I do! I want us to complete this and once we finish it, they’ll help get us home.” Twilight protest in making her defense of such an objection clear.
“Then if you say so…” Sweetie Belle slowly spoke in figuring what this would mean for them/
“That would mean…” Scootaloo perk a smile on her face in coming to the correct term.
“We’ll get to continue…?” Apple Bloom issued in knowing what it means, they can have more adventure now.
“YEAH! CUTIE MARK CRUSADER PIRATES AWAY!” The CMC cheered forth in loving the idea of their adventure not ending yet.
“Well they took that well?” Spike scratched his head in feeling surprise by such enthusiasm.
“AHOY! Island approach!” The sailor above in the crow’s nest shouted out this message that earn much of the pirate crew & those also aboard their ship to.
Soon many of the sailors of the pirate gang were gathering by the front of the ship. And also coming through the crowd was the elite pirate bunch; StoneGibbs, Lightning Flash, Wilson Ramon, Sharky & Bones, CrisisCross, Roxas, Victor Krieg, Professor Righteous, Khazim, even Jack the Monkey riding on Captain SparrowJack’s back as the latter two came up to take the front lead. The Mane Six, the CMC & Spike came up to see what was the commotion, and saw what island destination they arrived at. It was a strange darken land where it look like the ground was dry as gray dirt, trees without leaves that look dead, and even a strangely medieval fortress looking structure that was carved into a mountain. The mountain wasn’t as tall as Spiral Mountain, but it look like a volcano with it’s open spot. The gang saw this ruin landscape, and began to have chatters among themselves.
“Argh, it be thy ruins of Cabal Fortress!” StoneGibbs spoke off in announcing what manner of place they have arrived at.
“Hugh?” The Ponyville gang responded in not knowing what sorta area that is or the meaning behind it.
“Ye mean yah land-lovers never heard of this place?” Lightning Flash raised an eyebrow in seeing that some newcomers never heard of this place or know the history.
“Tis a dark place, where an evil dictator ruled thee land ye see.” CrisisCross spoke off with a stern expression on his face in addressing the situation as it maybe.
“Aye, they say the scallywag heard there be treasure & setup a fort ta keep venturing’ swashbuckle pirates out?” Victor Krieg nods slowly with a stern expression, whoever lived in that fort was looking for treasure; maybe another key they seek.
“But even though he kept it safe, his troops began to question the treasure’s existence? It lead to mutiny!” Wilson Ramon firmly stated the manner of what happened no sooner of an evil dictating character’s mind and attitude that effected the troops he hired.
“Mutiny?” Fluttershy yelped in hearing this, sounds rather scary now.
“Yeah, the troops went against their dictator & his history in the making…is in ruin.” Roxas stated that in the end, this Cabal Fortress was left to be slowly decrypting as time moves on and it’s forgotten, but is still recalled in stories.
“Not only that, some almost feel the place be haunted by specters?” Sharky spoke off in feeling a tense of a chill to his bone of spooky ghost that haunt the place.
“Aye, them ghosty’s might try to catch us, and never let us go?” Bones held himself in fear of picturing that happening to them, they might not like that at all.
Much of the crew were beginning to ponder if things could be alright, they heard many sea tales and about ghost, especially vengeful spirits of sailors that appear to seek revenge against those that made them perish at sea. Would it be safe to go explore the island after hearing some of this. Even the Ponyville gang were curious to wonder how they can handle this?
“Avast, Me Hearties! Wha’s all this gibber-jabber nonsense?” SparrowJack spoke off in stating a fact here that seems to be going around. “Are we gonna let a few ghost stories keep us from the treasure? Don’t forget, we have somethin’ those old departed lads didn’t have.” He showed his compass out in having the crew settle their worries of their fear of not finding the treasure.
“Ahhhh, ye compass that points where ye heart desires!” StoneGibbs smiled off to say this in recalling the captain’s special compass. “It maybe our best chance ta find that final key!” He can see that when others never found where the North Serpent Key be, they have the ‘right’ means to get it.
“Precisely my point.” SparrowJack smiled off to proudly state that this was what he was going for. “So I’ll be asking which lads will be coming along with some of ye guard the ship. So any takers?” He looked around to find any that would wanna venture with him on the next adventure here.
“US!” The CMC raised their hooves up in wanting to go forth on this adventure with much excitement.
“What?” Rarity, Applejack & Twilight yelped in seeing this, the fillies are wanting to explore what could be a haunted island.
“Well now, that surprise almost scared me more then any ghost tale?” SparrowJack slowly responded in seeing this shocker, brave stallions aren’t speaking, yet wee little fillies are; awkward, isn’t it? “But very well, ye wee lasses miss the last boat, so hope aboard fer this one!” He shrug off to say in feeling it don’t matter, all can be welcome to have more adventures with the pirate group.
“Aye-Aye!” The fillies saluted in willing and awaiting to join the fun.
“Anyone else?” SparrowJack looked around to anyone else, surely if three fillies can brave this, then surely some of the others here can to.
“Argh, where ye be if ye gone in a supernatural place, without a matey that’s superstitious? I’m in too, says I!” StoneGibbs shook off his head in thinking that he best go along, if not, who else can be careful in superstitious territory like this place.
“Hah-hah-hah! Be it pony or beast, or even phantom spooks! I’ll grind them to the dust!” Victor Krieg laughed off all hearty-like, as he was daring to go to.
“And blow them from here to the gallows!” Khazim raised his mini-cannons, as he’ll also go along as well.
“Argh, they try somethin’, I’ll cook them and serve them fer supper!” CrisisCross proclaimed this with his knives seen to threaten any ghost that they’ll wish they gone to the afterlife when he gets through with them.
“Count me in!” Sharky held up a left hopf to say he’ll be joining to.
“Me four, or am I five?” Bone did the same thing as Sharky, but was lost in the number count.
“I won’t wanna miss this one!” Lightning Flash proudly spoke in his daring manner of wanting to join the fun to.
“There maybe lock passages, I’m joining to.” Roxas stated that if there are any lock things, he can unlock them.
“Any other takers?” SparrowJack asked off in seeing only a few of the bravest are coming.
“Eek-eek!” Jack the Monkey leaps up to make his monkey calls.
“Yes, I know ye wanna come, I meant any other takers?” SparrowJack spoke off in looking to Jack in seeing the monkey is eager to join, but he’s still looking for anyone else.
“Me and the professor will watch the ship with half the crew staying behind. Ye got enough strong hooves ta keep ye safe.” Wilson Ramon issued off to say this to the captain of who will be running things on this ship.
“Yes, besides…we need to keep the other three keys safeguarded.” Professor Righteous nods in agreement, taking a lot of their strongest mates and leaving so few here would mean the keys they have be at risk of being taken.
“Good on ye, alright, then lets…” SparrowJack nods while seeing the other crew mates are near him, as they prepare to go however…
“Hold it! We’re coming too!” Twilight stops the pirates from leaving to say that she and her friends will come to.
“Yeah, you think we’ll let you have all the fun here?” Rainbow Dash stating they aren’t gonna miss out on another grand adventure.
“Besides, dat place look mighty suspicious ta us?” Applejack stated in looking to that fortress, something about where it is seems…mighty strange.
“Yeah, it looks like whoever built this place, set it up onto of a volcano?” Pinkie Pie pointed out something that might equal a problem to the gang, like if that mountain blows it’s top.
“A dormant volcano, thing hasn’t been active fer years.” SparrowJack pointed out easily to have the worrying mares not worry about it, the volcano won’t be active and they’ll be fine.
“Oh, well…that’s nice to know.” Fluttershy slowly spoke in feeling a bit more glad to hear this.
“But we’re coming along, to make sure the fillies are in no danger!” Rarity spoke off in stating her own cause for worry was her sister and her little friends.
“I’ll come to….ugh, yeh know…to protect the girls who need…protecting the other girls?” Spike spoke when he stood near Rarity, but yelped in how he was trying to sell himself as a hero between his sentences.
“Hugh, an folks ponder my own puzzlin’ sentences?” SparrowJack stated in how Spike was trying to look pretty convincing, but the lad had trouble speaking out. “Then welcome to our next exploration bunch, savvy!” He happily spoke in allowing more company to join them on their adventure.
“Aye!” The crew cheered in feeling raring and ready to get going.
Now the scene focuses on where we see many of the pirates getting themselves ready to set out for the next island of adventure. The Mane Six & the CMC along with Spike were gonna tag along, the older ponies could only hope that this last key won’t be as hard as the last three.
~
Within The Ruin Fortress?
At this moment within the window area of Cabal Fortress, were some hidden shadowy figures. As the camera zooms in where they are, we see who they are precisely. They are General Ogun & the Katastrophy Brothers: Khaos, Kalamity & Konfusion. They all had binoculars in watching the Black Pearl, as it sent out it’s rowboats with those planning to come onto the island to reach Cabal Fortress to find the final key. But what they heroes don’t know, is that the villains are expecting their arrival here.
“At last, they finally are here?” General Ogun spoke please to seeing the heroes have at last arrive, all according to what they were hoping for.
“Yeah-yeah, they’re here! They’re here!” Konfusion was happily cheering in seeing their foes have arrived. “Pow!” Then he got bash on the head by Khaos for his brainless happy go-attitude.
“You dolt! We can see that from up here?” Khaos remotely issued this to his brother for trying to keep reminding them of the issue.
“So what are we gonna do, General Ogun…sir?” Kalamity asked their general in what they are gonna do here?
“We shall wait until those pirates and those element bearers of harmony enter the fortress.” General Ogun explained the first step to their plan to perform. “Once they enter these walls, we must separate them as much as possible. And then we’ll go aboard their ship that will have lesser guards and snatch the three Serpent Keys they hold in their possession.” He explained that they shall divide and conquer their foes to secure the true prizes inside that pirate ship.
“Divide & Conquer.” Kalamity spoke off in knowing the strategy as it’s name states.
“Oooooh, you know I think I read that in a book somewhere?” Konfusion replied off in hearing this, that sounded like a catchy title.
“So when do we go and get those keys?” Khaos asked off when they go and snatch the three keys the pirates have?
“You don’t, fools.” General Ogun snapped off sternly in stating these three chaotic fools aren’t going in. “In case you forgotten, Gido failed to get the last key, and his failure was paid with a hefty price….” He reminded those that one of their associated allies failed them miserably. “Frsuvhmm…” Then near him, something of a swirling vortex appeared off his front appearance. “As I had him become another to be sent into the Void and never seen again.” Yep, General Ogun took care of Gido by swallowing him into his void and is now lost forever.
The Katastrophy Brothers made sheepish chuckles while being nervous, after Gido failed in his mission, General Ogun punished him….really badly to the guy outside the Iron Crow Golem. Since Gido’s only best card was that special golem weapon, with that out of commission and buried under the rubble of Spiral Mountain, Gido’s use was…expired.
“The one to snatch the keys, Mistress Demona had acquired the aid of an infamous bounty hunter. Here he is now.” General Ogun stated to explain their employer acquired the aid of another, and turns to what was behind them.
Soon entering from the darkness of the room, some creature entered from the opened doorway while making so heavy boot stomping sounds that even made the Katastrophy Brothers quiver in fear. A muscular unicorn stallion with apparently back-straight spike mane & tail, pointy ears, and eye color is unknown. He wears a dark blue & dark gray suit mix, mouth covered by mask, a dark tan blue vest to keep things, dark blue hoof bands of steel, ankle jewel bands around his ankles with blue gems, and his eyes are from a spec. sunglasses of a red color. Make no mistake, this guy looks serious, and could break things like they were toothpicks.
“No way? That’s the hired Bounty Hunter!” Khaos yelped off in seeing who it was they hired here.
“I don’t believe my eyes? It’s…it’s….it’s…?” Kalamity was rubbing his eyes in almost unbelieving what they are seeing.
“It’s none other then….then….?” Konfusion was muttering his words in having a hard time saying who was here.
“SHIV KATALL!?” The Katastrophy Brothers announced the name of this new character, the bounty hunter by the name of…Shiv Katall!
“Yes, a highly expensive bounty hunter, but well worth the price feed. You know what to do, right?” General Ogun spoke in highly crediting the service of having Shiv Katall here makes things easier.
“I know the mission. Retrieve the Serpent Keys from the Black Pearl & then snatch the final key when they find it.” Shiv Katall spoke with a deep male voice from his mask vizier, sounding like a tough pro in his career as a bounty hunter; and that he’ll complete his assign task mission.
“Exactly! Now, we’ll try to keep those meddling pirates busy by scattering their forces, weakening them to the point….of their doom!” General Ogun stated forth in what they shall do here to make sure the Sparrow Pirates will meet their tragic end here.
“Oh yeah!” Khaos responded with a smile in liking that.
“Good plan there.” Kalamity nods with a smile in agreeing to that.
“Very thought out.” Konfusion stated to say in what he thought of that plan.
“Don’t just stand their, GET TO WORK!” General Ogun shouted off to get the three bumbling fools, to work instead of standing around.
“Ye-ye-ye-yes sir!” The Katastrophy Brothers nervously saluted to respond before rushing off to do their job; as long as they don’t mess it up from their stupidity.
“Time for me to do my part now….” Shiv Katall remotely issued this off in having heard what needs to be done, and prepares to leave.
Soon the bounty hunter leaves the room while General Ogun continues to watch the heroes arrive on the island. Soon the pirates’ group won’t know what true terror is until they set foot in Cabal Fortress…where the bad guys have set it up to trap them. With that, the scene fads away from what’s going on here…
~
Pass The Shores Towards Cabal Fortress!
We soon enter the scene where we see that after the Sparrow Pirates had park their rowboats on the shores, they along with the Mane Six, CMC & Spike, climb up to stand near the forgotten ruins of what was once known as Cabal Fortress. It maybe a bit rundown and old, looking ready to come apart, but there were still hidden dangers inside, so any who enter…must be extremely careful.
“There it is crew, Cabal Fortress?” SparrowJack address the matter of where they stood, they were near the ruin fort. “Now remember, if ye see somethin’ move….ye have permission to fire.” He gave the order to his crew in what to happen if they run into anything.
“Um, wouldn’t it be better to look before we leap, SparrowJack?” Twilight suggested a more better course of action then a straight shot and ask questions later tactic.
“First off, it’s a deserted island, no citizens be smart enough to stick around. Second, if any enemies are afoot, we need to be careful. Third…it’s Captain, Captain SparrowJack.” SparrowJack explained the manner to Twilight so she may follow, and again corrected the matter of speaking his name with a captain title.
“Hugh, fine…whatever?” Twilight signs to roll her eyes, this guy really loves to be address as captain much.
Soon the scene shifts towards where we see an opened door of where everyone slowly enters a darken hall. The gang are now entering the Cabal Fortress, and it looks like a near wreck inside as it is outside. From the squeaky floor boards, the cobwebs and molly wallpaper coming down to where one sees the inner wood & bridge plates, this place is spelt for being creepy.
“Argh, tis givin’ me them unpleasant feelin’ here, captain?” StoneGibbs stated off in looking around this area, it gives the stallion that believes superstitious a harder time to handle.
“Ah relax old timer, we got each other’s backs.” Lightning Flash spoke off to ease the guy from feeling upset and cautious.
“Fer once, Lightning Flash said somethin’ that makes sense.” CrisisCross made a sly smile in making this as a joke.
“Ha-Ha-Hah, haven’ the lad lecture us in this haunted place, we better not be senile?” Victor Krieg laughed off jolly-like in making this a little humor to lighten the mood.
“Tis place look more stately if better cared fer?” Khazim stated how the place look much more nicer if taken better care of.
“Alright, spread out and find something suspicious here?” SparrowJack orders his lads in what to do, they need to find something to give them a hint of where to go.
After about a full hour went by, much of the party was searching all of the rooms of the fortress before meeting in a grand hall opening where they meant underneath a large portrait of the once living dictator that rule this place before he vanished. The Mane Six & CMC along with Spike were able to meet up. Only SparrowJack, Lightning Flash, CrisisCross, Victor Krieg, Roxas Khazim, Sharky & Bones were seen with a few other pirate sailors, only Mr. StoneGibbs and a few other shipmates weren’t here yet.
“Well this don’t make no doubloon sense?” SparrowJack rub his head in being very puzzled and confusion, where was that they are seeking to find.
“Hey, have you check what was hiding behind this giant portrait of a creepy dictator?” Pinkie Pie pointed out something that look like a good spot to check.
“Yeah right, that’s like the oldest trick in the book, like we’ll find….” Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes in thinking there was no way what they are searching for is hidden by such easy methods, right…?
Then Pinkie Pie moved the large portrait in a weird manner that reacted to shake, and then some noisy tears are heard. And then before anyone knew it, the portrait moved backwards to reveal what was some sorta hidden passageway into a tunneled path that lead directly behind to into the dormant volcano. Now everyone was shock that they found this, and by the pink pony to boot.
“My goodness, there was something behind that?” Rarity gasped in shocking surprise in what they have found.
“Nice work Pinkie, ye found a clue.” Applejack patted her friend’s back in giving her praise for a job well done.
“But what is it?” Fluttershy asked off in not having any idea what this was.
“A secret portrait passage, it may lead into the dormant volcano?” Twilight issued off in what she could figure by the tunnel path of what it was.
“You-You mean the final key is in the volcano area?” Spike nervously spoke in having a bad feeling about this case.
“Well one was in a beast-filled place?” Apple Bloom pointed off in what danger one key was in.
“The other two were a maze & mountain?” Sweetie Belle stated the last other two places that had the keys.
“And now an abandon fortress, how awesome is this?” Scootaloo finishes in where they’ll find the final key hidden; in a volcano.
“Sir, what about StoneGibbs and the others? Should we wait fer them?” One random pirate mate reported that they are still short some mateys here.
“They’ll catch up soon, fer now…we gotta find us that key.” SparrowJack issued off that he has fate those not here will follow their trail; especially from an open secret passage way that ain’t hard to miss.
“Aye-Aye!” The crew responded in hearing the orders and are raring to find the key.
Now we see the group entering the darken passageway to follow it down to wherever it may lead them. This may explain some cases of why the treasure was never found if there was this pathway, but then why would the previous owner not tell his own troops. SparrowJack concluded it might’ve been because he knew his own troops were as greedy as him and kept the location a secret from them of where he found it, but never reach it; and that lead to a mutiny.
“Keep them eyes sharp & light them horns. We need light.” CrisisCross issued off what they need, the unicorns are making it lighter in this dark tunnel by their magic horns.
“Aye, ye think they at least leave torches here?” Victor Krieg stated that the place had nothing lit for whoever would come down here.
“It’s so dark, I can barely see?” Lightning Flash stated that it’s hard for some to even see in the dark.
“I can lit me fuss and blow us some light?” Khazim smiled off to hold up his mini-cannons and was about to lit the fuse when…
“Ugh, how’s about lets not and save the trouble of burring ourselves or starting up the volcano, kay?” Spike nervously ask that the guy not do that, the last thing they wanna see….is going KABOOM!
Suddenly, someone step on a loose tile that activated something unseen by the group. And by the time the Mane Six were coming near a floor spot, it reacted to their pressure to…OPEN A HIDDEN TRAPDOOR!
“WAAAhhhh!” The Mane Six and Spike screamed out from falling down a trap door.
“Blimmy! Them lasses fell down that hole?” Skarky gasped in looking down the hole in where their mare pals went.
“Aye, but where does it go from here?” Bones nods off to seeing this and was worried where this trap took the mares.
“Captain, permission to find them.” Roxas turn to his captain in requesting he goes to find their missing friends.
“Permission granted, but be careful lad.” SparrowJack nods with a firm face in allowing this while wanting Roxas to be careful.
Soon Roxas went off to jump down the hidden trapdoor to search for the missing mares and baby dragon. The others were a bit concern and worried, but if anyone could find the Mane Six and get them out of a stuck or lock situation, Roxas was the stallion for the job.
“Eek-Eek! Eeeek!” Jack The Monkey reacted to seeing something, it looked like a floating banana to which the curious monkey leaves the others to follow the fruit.
“Hey Jack, where are you going?” Sweetie Belle shouted off in seeing the monkey running off.
“Wait fer us, ye hear now!” Apple Bloom issued to say while the fillies had to catch the pirate monkey pet.
“Great, chasing a monkey again?” Scootaloo rolled her eyes in seeing this felt familiar to them.
Now the CMC were chasing after Jack while not knowing that it was a set plot done by the Katastrophy Brothers who snickered off in the dark while not being seen. No one could see with it being so dark that they can sneak by and off real easily to separate the next bunch here. The other pirate crew mates saw that even more of their party band was splitting off pretty thin here.
“Alright, ye stallions, spread out, find anyone that isn’t here, and report back to the entrance in one half hour.” SparrowJack made a quick order for them to spread out, find their missing pals and meet up outside the entrance point.
“Aye-aye, captain.” The other mates saluted in hearing this before heading off to search.
“The rest of yah, keep with me? This place just got a whole lot more treacherous?” SparrowJack responded to his elite members in what they best do now, something sneaky was going on around here; and they need to keep a sharp eye out.
CrisisCross, Victor Krieg, Lightning Flash, Khazim, Sharky & Bones all nodded silently in agreeing with their captain on that subject. The rest of the pirate crew continues to venture through the inside part of the dormant volcano to search for a few things; the Serpent Key, their missing mates, and figuring out what was going on here.

Aboard The Black Pearl
The scene shifts towards the Black Pearl, as many of the pirates were keeping watch and being causally careful of any attacks. The only ones around to lead them were Professor Righteous & Wilson Ramon that would hold down the fort, protect their ship & crew, along with the keys they have.
“Professor Righteous, does everything feel shipshape to ye?” Wilson Ramon asked forth to his friend in wanting to see that all is well.
“I believe our crew has secure all areas, so no one will sneak aboard?” Professor Righteous explained forth that they have all corners of their ship secure, it be hard for even a mouse to sneak pass.
“Aye, but I got a worrying feeling, whoever is after the keys is calling in some unexpected helpers?” Wilson Ramon responded to say this with an uneasy feeling, that they aren’t being careful enough.
“True, the Katastrophy Brothers, Dizchord, and Gido….all random foes that could be hired for assistance?” Professor Righteous slowly nods in agreement, the obstacles of competition for the keys, are different but they are more likely hired assistance.
As the two elite pirates were chatting, within the Captain’s Quarters, a window was opened from behind SparrowJack’s office set area. And soon Shiv Katall enters the area, and begins to snoop around in searching for his targets. That’s when his mask’ eyes glowed in letting him look around before stopping near a drawer, and forcing it open to locate the three Serpent Keys; he hit the jackpot.
“So, these are the Serpent Keys? Well I’ve done my part, now to book it out of here?” Shiv Katall spoke off in studying the three keys before putting them away and planning to get out of here before he’s discovered.
“Tell us professor, who be powerful enough to command such a rugged bunch?” Wilson Ramon’s voice was heard outside the captain’s room while Shiv Katall noticed he’s about to have company soon.
“There are many evil creatures on both land, air and sea, but too many different motives and reasons cancel out who could be behind wanting the keys & the trident?” Professor Righteous spoke when he and Wilson Ramon enter the room of where SparrowJack comes into while explaining the manner that those they seen, are working for something or someone higher in power.
“Then we best keep our eyes pilled.” Wilson Ramon stated their best guess in what they do, keep a sharp eye out for any suspicious activity.
“Noted. Hopefully we keep the keys safe in our hold.” Professor Righteous responded in thinking that so long as the enemy doesn’t have the keys, they can’t cause any trouble.
As Shiv Katall heard all that after he snuck out the back window and shut it without being noticed. As he was scaling down the back of the ship, he was thinking over what he heard those pirates say.
“Heh, you can try, but I’ve gotten what I came for. And soon…” Shiv Katall issued from using his magic to levitate himself and the keys he holds. “You’ll lose more then the keys when the island’s volcano isn’t as dormant as you think?” He responded in hinting an event that will take place eventually soon.
Soon Shiv Katall leaves the scene with the three Serpent Keys in his possession without ever letting anyone know of his presence. One silent teleportation spell did the trick, and by the time any realize what happened, it’ll be too late.

Deep In The Volcano Behind Cabal Fortress
Now we focus on what was happening with SparrowJack’s group as they were continuing their paste to find something to lead them to the final prize that is the treasure, hidden here. The pirates finally arrive near a secret door so clearly fuse to look like dried lava flow, that the strong stallions pushed it to find…another hidden alter with a familiar object; the last Serpent Key.
“Wow?” Lightning Flash, CrisisCross, Victor Krieg, Khazim, Sharky & Bones responded in seeing the final Serpent Key of the North was hidden here.
“At last, with this gents, our elusive journey is almost over.” SparrowJack proudly stated, as he was going up the stairs to reach for the key.
Suddenly without warning, a bright flash sphere appeared in the room, blinding everyone’s eyesight. And then when it was over, something was a miss here, and that….the missing key.
“The key?” Sharky & Bones yelped off in seeing what was gone from sight.
“It’s vanished?” Lightning Flash stated what was here was gone in a flash.
“Where it go?” Victory Krieg asked off in where the final key disappeared to.
“Neheheheheheeeehhh…” Then evil snickering is heard behind to where the pirates saw some shady cloak trio characters making a brake for it out the same entrance they came from; and with the key.
“They stole the key!” CrisisCross angrily pointed out the thieves that stole what they found.
“Captain, orders?” Khazim asked off in awaiting for the captain to say the word.
“Ye know the drill, shot first, then ask questions. Now after them Lily-Livered Thieving Scallywags!” SparrowJack remarked off to state while bringing his cutlass out in announcing the attack call.
“WROOUAAaghhh!” The roaring battle cries of the pirates are heard, as they draw their blades & crystal pistols to charge after those that try to steal from them.
Soon we see that the thieves fleeing were the Katastrophy Brothers, as they were looking back in seeing the pirates were closely on their tail.
“Heh, they sound really tick off right now. Perfect for the plan.” Khaos made a silly smile in seeing they got the pirates coming at them.
“Yeah-yeah! They’ll chase us and rush over that set trap, and trap them good.” Konfusion happily stated in what they are gonna do here now.
“Ha-ha-hah….and as long as we have the key, victory can’t slip from our grasp!” Kalamity laughs off while having the key in his grip, nothing could stop them now.
“Eek-Eek!” The Jack the Monkey came out of nowhere, and then snatched the key that was exposed with his tail before rushing off the way the foolish brothers ran from. The Katastrophy Brothers cease running to realize, someone just snatch the key from under them, and it ain’t the first time neither.
“Oh come on, not that the monkey again?” Khaos groans to complain in seeing that little monkey pest again.
“He took the key we stole again?” Konfusion pointed out confused in what just happened here, again it seems.
“And he’s heading back to the pirates. Come on!” Kalamity issued in where that troublesome prime ape is going, and they now chase after the monkey again.
Soon Jack was rushing straight towards his Sparrow Pirate buddies with a little key around his tail.
“Looky there, it’s Jack! He’s got the key!” Lightning Flash spoke in seeing their monkey pet pal coming, and with something they were chasing.
“Come here boy, we got’cha! Yer safe now.” SparrowJack gave a warm welcome sign to the monkey to come to them so Jack & the key will be safe.
Soon the pirates pass over something when Jack leaps up to be on SparrowJack and showed him the key. But then without another word of warning, something glowed around the floor that spread upwards like an invisible window box cube. The pirates saw this surprise act, and tried to bash through with muscles, but it was no good.
“Eventually, I seem to hav spoken too soon?” SparrowJack responded with puzzled blank eyes in seeing this predicament was the opposite when he said they are safe.
The Katastrophy Brothers ran until they bumped into General Ogun that came out of nowhere.
“You made it in time, the pirates have fallen into Shiv Katall’s Magic Barrier Prison Cube, once in, they can’t get out. And I’ve set the bombs by my Grinders & Growls to set off a chain reaction.” General Ogun explained the manner of what was going on as of right now to the foolish brothers. “Now quickly, give me the key?” He asked in wanting the key they stole from the pirates.
“Gruhm…Ugh….” Khaos struggled with his words here in worry.
“Yeah um…” Kalamity yelped off a bit unsure in what to say.
“About that?” Konfusion spoke in having a bad feeling about their report.
“Well? Where is it?” General Ogun asked off annoyed by the long stall, where was the key these fools stole before they caught the pirates.
“The monkey took it?” The foolish brothers spoke in union of who actually has the key right now.
“WHAaaaaaat!” General Ogun yelled out mildly in hearing this, these fools let the final key slip their grasp.
Then without warning, coming near the magically trapped pirates were the CMC; as Apple Bloom, Scootaloo & Sweetie Belle saw this after they lost Jack the Monkey to find the Sparrow Crew..
“Look! It’s Captain SparrowJack & our friends?” Sweetie Belle stated in who they saw and look to be in trouble.
“They seem trap in this weird box thing?” Apple Bloom stated in what they are seeing here that was done by magic.
“Hey! Can you guys hear us?” Scootaloo called out in wanting the pirates to respond.
The pirates were trying to talk back, but while they heard the CMC’s voices, the fillies can’t hear the stallions. The magic cube box must prevent sound from entering outside, but inside’s a different story, sorta.
“No good Scootaloo, this thing cuts off sound?” Apple Bloom shook her head in seeing they can’t talk to their friends since sound can escape this box thing.
“Then lets try to bust it open?” Scootaloo stated another idea in what they can do here.
“Well, we can try? I hope this works?” Sweetie Belle spoke in feeling that it’s the only thing they can do apparently.
“This isn’t good? This wasn’t the plan to go by?” General Ogun remarked off in seeing the situation from a hidden location. “We have to report this to Demona at once?” He stated that this must be reported of the turn of events.
“I don’t wanna tell her?” Khaos shook his head off in wanting nothing to do with that.
“I already saw how mad she got.” Kalamity stated with being fearful of such an idea.
“And I saw it and almost shead my fur?” Konfusion stated in terror that seeing Demona mad is scary.
“Oooh, fine? I’ll do it…you BIG babies?” General Ogun slapped his forehead to moan off in annoyance by such sniveling whiners.
As the evil foes hid within the shadows, they prepare to make contact with their mistress. All while the ponies below try to figure out a way to escape the magic invisible cage box the pirates are stuck in. This could take a while for things to get slowly settle here?
~
Meanwhile, Where The Mane Six Are Station At?
The scene shows a darken dungeon where the Mane Six are standing, leaning or sitting around, and Spike was trying to pick the lock with his nails, but it was no use. Almost an hour has pass since the mares and baby dragon were separated and have been cooped up in this place. And at the moment of passing time, Pinkie Pie brought out a harmonic, and was play a solo melody fitting those living in a dungeon cell. And if that wasn’t enough, she started to play some sorta ‘Blues’ theme song she just seem to make up to fit the picture of their currency.
Pinkie Pie: Oh…we’re’s trapped in a dungeon cell?
Yeah we gone and got our selves stuck here now?
The others stared at Pinkie sitting on a bench where shades and look like a gloomy blues playing pony that was, well…singing the blues.
Pinkie Pie: We done can’t get out of here?
Not with magic, cause it’s magic proof!
Pinkie’s blue song continues with another playing of her harmonic for the long pause effect. Courtse this song was stretching out so far to cause everyone to feel the blues.
“AAAAaugh!” Then finally, Rainbow Dash snapped to snatch the harmonic out of Pinkie’s hold. “Enough with that corny harmonic and singing the blues stuff, Pinkie?” Rainbow Dash snapped off to say in feeling like she’s losing her mind.
“Right, think it’s gone an done make some of us loopy?” Applejack nods in stating how Rainbow is behaving could make anyone act that way.
“I’m too beautiful to spend my life behind bars?” Rarity groans to dramatically complain over her situation.
“Don’t worry Rarity, Twilight’s thinking of something? Ugh, right?” Spike tried to assure Rarity that everything be alright, and looked to Twilight for an answer.
“I’m not sure, whoever made this…wanted nothing to get putt even by magic or explosive work?” Twilight stated in not having an answer since their dungeon cell seems pretty sturdy from whatever craftsmanship made it.
“Oh dear, then we’re really gonna be stuck here…forever?” Fluttershy spoke in starting to feel like they can’t get out of this at all.
“Not on our watches, lasses!” Mr. StoneGibbs’ voice was heard outside the door and from the little window, the gang saw him there.
“Mr. StoneGibbs?” The Mane Six responded in surprise to see that face again.
“Click!” Then the door was heard unlocking, and soon another pony was near the pirate the gang was familiar with. “Forgetting some pony else?” Roxas spoke off in showing that he was nearby to open the way.
“Roxas? How’d you do that?” Spike was lost, how this guy managed to open a door that one needs a key and can’t get out even with magic and explosive works.
“Hey, I’m the stallion who’s good with unlocking things.” Roxas stated about his natural talent in what he does.
“We meant up with others from our crew & heard the story. Now lets…” StoneGibbs was speaking in what to do when…
“BOOM-BOOM-BOOM!/Grugrugrufruvhmmm….” Suddenly, explosive noises are heard from afar but the rumbling noises shook the place that made everyone finch.
“Goodness! What was that?” Rarity asked off in being surprise, where that come from.
“Sounded like explosions and a rumbling noise? Is some pony hungry?” Pinkie Pie asked off a random question after stating some god earlier facts.
“By The Code Of Pirating! Some scoundrels have set off the dormant volcano’s reaction!” Mr. StoneGibbs exclaimed in due shock of what may have happened here.
“And…that means?” Rainbow Dash asked off slowly in not following that issue.
“The volcano is going to erupt and us along with it?” Twilight explained the case with shock eyes, they’re sitting on a NOW active volcano.
“Great Apple Buck Season! We gotta find them youngin’s and vamoose?” Applejack yelped in shock that they gotta find the fillies and get out.
“They’re likely with our captain, we’ll meet them back on the ship.” Roxas explained the manner of what maybe happening as they speak.
“Wait, shouldn’t we go search for them instead?” Fluttershy asked off if they should go and find their friends.
“Trust us lass, ye not wanna be in the move of a ‘ruptin’ volcano! Besides, the captain always finds a way to escape death perils, it be his mysterious secret of his.” StoneGibbs issued to explain that they’ll be cooked if they don’t get moving away from this dangerous island, besides, their captain is sure to bring everyone safe and out of harms way.
“Oh man, I know dragons can handle volcanos, but maybe we should listen here?” Spike clap his head in feeling that while he could be fine, this mess of volcano lava maybe too hot for ponies to take.
“Alright, lead the way.” Twilight lightly nods in getting the issue, as they all need to move it quickly…
With nothing much else to go with, the Mane Six & Spike followed StoneGibbs & Roxas with the other pirate sailors out of their dungeon chamber to return to the Black Pearl. Hopefully the others will get back to them as soon as they can….
