After a week of travelling we reached Manehatten, it was incredibly similar to Yew York, going by what I had seen on the internet, Autumn agreed with me on that point, I had also started working on building the bike, I had developed a propulsion system with Twilight, it worked like a levitation generator, except instead of directing the energy down it sent it out the back, today, we would not be carrying out weapons, I doubted we would need them.

“That’s quite the view” Minion said, with Aurora sitting on his shoulders, we were all stood on the gun deck, looking at the city skyline.

“Definitely similar to Cities on our world” I said in agreement, Aurora perked up at that.

“Is this what you world looks like then?” she asked, I did a ‘so-so’ motion with my hand.

“This looks like a copy of one City on our world, London however, looks very different to this, and for one thing, this city doesn’t have a massive clock tower” I said, Blazewing walked towards us.

“I’s gonna be really weird walking through the streets withou’ ‘avin’ the guards after me” he said, the rest of us looked at him and raised our eyebrows “Wha’? I used to be wanted ‘ere” I pinched the bridge of my nose.

“Of course you would be wanted in this bloody city” I said “I’m not even gonna ask what you did the make yourself wanted, just stick with us and try not to cause too much trouble”

“Err” he said uncertainly “yes, sir?” I sighed, this was going to be interesting.

We were walking through customs and check in of the Airport we were just about to leave the building and enter the city when Blazewing was tackled by a guard, the two of them fell to the ground.

“I finally have you, you pirate scum” the guard said in a New York accent, standing on Blazewing whilst pinning his arm behind his back, I sighed before walking up to them.

“Excuse me sir” I said “would you kindly cease trying to apprehend my Chart master” the guard looked taken aback.

“W-what?” he stammered, he then turned to the dragon “Chart master!?” the dragon did the closest thing to a shrug he could manage in his current situation

“Yes” I said “Did you see the 20 gunner navy ship out there? Big thing, called the Jörmungandr, has the figure head of a serpent, I’m the captain of that ship, and you are technically assaulting a member of the Royal Equestrian Navy and my crew” the guards eyes reduced to pinpricks before he hastily pulled Blazewing back up and cleared his throat.

“Sorry about that” the guard said.

“It’s understandable” I said “it’s true he used to be a pirate, but that changed after I blew his ship out of the sky” the guard went pale.

“W-well” the guard said “as you were” I nodded.

“Thank you” I said, walking past “keep up the good work”

“I’m watching you” the guard whispered to Blazewing as he walked past, I rolled my eyes, but pretended I didn’t hear.

“Thanks for the save back there” Blazewing said.

“Get used to it” I said, sighing “I suspect it will happen quite a lot today”

As we walked down the streets of Manehatten we ended up in an alleyway.

“Right” Minion said “I think we should head back to the main streets” I nodded and we turned to find a group of about 10 teenage colts blocking our path.

“Can I help you?” I asked, they chuckled.

“Yeah, ma’e” one of them said in a Trottingham accent, which surprised me, he also talked like a chav, I was not liking where this was going “we wan’ your money ma’e”

“Or what?” I asked, a Pegasus colt unfolded a butterfly knife using a wing, me and Minion looked at each other, Minion put Aurora on Autumns shoulders before walking forward.

“Alright, you chavs” Minion said, dropping into his northern accent “ge’ lost, before I fookin’ deck yah” he punched his palm as he said this, they just laughed.

“looks like this one’s star’in’ on us, ma’es” one of them said, Autumn and Vinyl stepped back, leaving me, Minion, Boris, Scar and Blazewing standing side by side.

“You fight one of us? You fight us all” I said, I suddenly heard a commotion behind us.

“Oi, look ‘ere, ma’es” I turned around and my heart dropped, a Pegasus had grabbed Aurora and had a knife to her throat “none of you move and I won’t hurt the girl”

Sauradox perched on rooftop watching the scene unfold, he felt conflicted, Teridax had told him not to reveal himself, but he was close to killing the pegasus out of rage, he could just use his mask power, but it wouldn’t be anywhere near as satisfying, he sighed silently before teleporting down behind the pegasus and revealing himself, startling the Toa and the group of ponies.

I looked on in stunned disbelief as a mechanical Dragon-like being appeared behind the Pegasus

“Ma’e?” one of the ponies said “don’ turn around” the Pegasus gave him a funny look before turning around and freezing.

“Give…me…the…child” the being said, sounding extremely pissed off, the Pegasus shakily gave Aurora to the being, who carefully took her “now get out of here before I kill you and mount your head on a pike” the pegasus nodded dumbly before shooting off, the rest of the ponies didn’t hang around, the being flew over to us and gave Aurora to Minion

“Thank you” I said “we would have been screwed if you hadn’t of shown…”

“I didn’t do this for you” the being snapped, his voice sounded familiar.

“You sound familiar” Autumn said, the being looked at Autumn, almost sadly, before he changed into Red Dawn, Autumn ran up to him and punched him in the jaw.

“So all this time” Autumn said “you’ve been that…thing!?” he changed into his true form.

“Not always” he said “when we last met, I was still a pony, now go, if my master finds out about what has happened, he’ll kill all of us” we looked at each other, Autumn turned around and walked out of the alleyway, the rest followed after her, just before I left the alleyway I turned around.

“Seriously, Red Dawn” I said “thank you” he nodded and I left the alleyway.

Sauradox looked at the exit to the alleyway.

“That went well” Said a voice that made his blood freeze, he turned around to see Teridax, looming over him with one eyebrow raised, Sauradox turned into his Pony self, and he then walked out of the alleyway and into the street.

“I didn’t do it for the Toa” he said, Teridax chuckled.

“Ah” Teridax said, shape shifting into a black Unicorn with red eyes and mane and following him “the young Dragoness, I presume?”

“You leave her out of this” Sauradox said, walking down the street, Teridax followed, blending in with the crowd “I’ll do whatever you want, but if involves hurting her on any other children on that ship in any way, then you can go buck yourself”

“I’ll let that comment slide” Teridax said, scowling “your mission is surveillance, I need a pair of eyes and ears in the ship, I never said you had to make your presence known”

“As long as I don’t have to do any damage to the ship” Sauradox said.

“Fine” Teridax said, he then blocked Sauradox path and looked the Makuta in the eyes “but pull anymore stunts like you did back there, and I will kill you” Sauradox narrowed his eyes.

“Whatever” Sauradox said, he then walked around the elder Makuta “come on, I’ll show you somewhere that sells good food”

“What?” Teridax said, raising an eyebrow.

“If you’re going to disguise yourself as a pony, then you need to do the things ponies do, including eating, it helps you to blend in” Sauradox said “also, I’m hungry”

We were sat at a restaurant, but one that wasn’t too expensive, we were sat outside eating and making small talk, I felt a hoof tap me on the leg, I looked down to see a small brown filly with a purple/maroon mane and tale.

“Err” I said “can I help you?” I asked.

“Vuur Koning?” the filly said “it’s me, Babs Seed, I visited my family in Ponyville whilst you were staying there” I suddenly remembered, I smacked my forehead.

“Oh, of course” I said “sorry about that, I totally forgot” the filly giggled, she then noticed the rest of our group.

“Who are they?” she asked, backing up slightly and looking a little intimidated

“My friends and crew” I said, noticing her expression I added “I have a ship, if your parents are O.K. with it, I can show you when we’ve finished eating” she nodded.

“Just a sec’” she said she then ran across the street to two ponies, she said some things to them before pointing to our table, I waived, the ponies looked at each other before looking at Babs Seed and nodding, she then ran back across “they said yes!”

“Great” I said “now, I don’t think I’ve properly introduced you to my friends, you already know Autumn Skies, yes?” Babs Seed looked at Autumn in awe.

“Gosh” she said “What happened to you?”

“Magic” Autumn said, winking.

“Anyway” I said “this is Scar and Boris”

“You mean your Timberwolf and Falcon!?” Babs Seed asked, the two Toa nodded their greetings to the filly

“Blazewing, my brother Minion and his daughter Aurora” I said, Aurora hopped off of her chair and walked over to Babs Seed.

“Hey” Aurora said “I met your family in Ponyville, and I’m an honorary cutie mark crusader” Babs Seed perked up at that.

“Really!?” Babs Seed asked “I’m a cutie mark crusader too”

“Babs?” I said, gaining there attention “are you familiar with Vinyl Scratch?” Vinyl leaned across.

“Sup, Kiddo” Vinyl said, Babs Seed gasped.

“But the last I heard of her she’s been…” she trailed off, realising the implications “are you kiddin’ me!?” we all chuckled.

“Nope” I said “we are The Wolfpack, give or take a few members, and we are staying in Manehatten to play a few shows, if you want to watch tonight’s show, I might be able to pull a few strings and have you watch it with Aurora” I then winked at her, Babs Seed’s eyes lit up.

“Really!?” she asked, he eyes shimmering slightly

“Yep” I said, she ran over and tackled me in a hug.

“Thanks” she said, I chuckled.

“No problem” I said.

“Aww” Boris said “the Life-dawn of today” Babs Seed looked at him, confused.

“Where did he learn to talk like that?” she asked, I shrugged.

“From whoever taught him Equestrian” I said.

“So, young life-dawn” Boris said “Tell us more about yourself, apart from Fire-spitter Vuur Koning and Autumn, we know-nothingness about you” Babs Seed went blank faced, trying to comprehend what he had just said.

“Well done, Boris” I said, face palming “you just broke the girl, good job”

“I aim to make you happy-cheer” he said, sarcastically.

A disguised Sauradox and Teridax walked down the streets of Manehatten.

“I am never doing that again” Teridax said, looking sluggish

“Oh come on” Sauradox said, walking with a slight spring in his step “the food was good”

“Maybe for your semi-organic body” Teridax said “but not for me, it doesn’t mix well with my Anti-dermis, and stop walking like that, you look like an idiot”

“Come on, old timer” Sauradox said, lightly punching Teridax in the shoulder, Teridax gave him a glare that would put Fluttershy’s stare to shame “you need to relax and unwind, and to Tartarus with the consequences, not everything is about doom, gloom and mysteriousness, BEHOLD, I AM THE NIGHT! HISS” as he said this he put a hoof in front of his snout, doing an impression of a vampony, Teridax rolled his eyes.

“If we weren’t surrounded by a bunch of weak flesh-bags…” Teridax muttered darkly, trailing off.

“Hey!” Sauradox said “I resemble that remark” Teridax actually face-hoofed.

“Brother, help me” he muttered behind his ‘hoof’ “look, you can prat about with careless abandon all you want, but I have an uprising to prepare for” he then walked through a portal leading to his lair, making sure to emit a subtle perception-filter as he disappeared, when Teridax disappeared Sauradox stopped and put a hoof to his chin in thought and smirked.

“Hmm” he thought aloud “he did say I could prat about with careless abandon all I wanted, oh well, a stall...Makuta has his needs” he then walked off in search of the nearest bar, preferably one that sold alcohol.

“…and that’s pretty much everything” Babs Seed said, nodding, we were walking along the streets of Manehatten towards the docks, Babs Seed was currently on my shoulders, “golly, it’s really high up here”

“That’s the tenth time you’ve said that!” Autumn said.

“Doesn’t make it any less true” Babs said, sticking out her tongue, we soon reached passed through customs and Babs Seed freaked out when she saw the ship “That’s your ship!?” she asked, craning her neck.

“Yep” I said “she may be getting close to 100 years old, but she’s still one of the largest ships in the skies” Babs started trying to pronounce the name.

“Gur…george…jurma, what?” she asked, giving up.

“Jörmungandr, you see the figure head, how it looks like a giant snake?” I asked, she nodded “That is a depiction of the snake that this ship is named after, Jörmungandr is also called the World serpent”

“What?” she asked “he was actually as big as the world?”

“At least long enough to wrap around the world and swallow his own tail” I said “a rather fitting name for such a large ship, don’t you think?” Babs nodded dumbly.

“Eeyup” she said, we then made our way onto the ship and everyone split up to do whatever, whilst I showed Babs Seed around, after a few hours I had to take her back home, to ask her parents if it was O.K. for her to go to the concert, I reached the house and knocked on the door, a maroon coloured earth-pony stallion opened the door, his eyes began to slowly trail upwards and he saw Babs Seed on my shoulders, she smiled and waved at the stallion.

“Oh” the stallion said, slowly “you must be the…person my daughter knows” I nodded.

“Yes, I came to ask something” I said, the stallion motioned for me to go on “I am the frontman of a band, and I am asking for your permission to let your daughter watch tonight’s concert”

“Will she be safe?” the stallion asked.

“Don’t worry” I said “several of my friends will look after her, I’d trust them to look after the Princesses, so she’ll be safe”

“Well” the stallion said “as long as she’ll be safe, I don’t have a problem with it, but if she comes back cussing, I’ll have your head”

“Yes sir” I said, me and Babs saluted him before walking back towards the ship.

Sauradox left the bar with a blue unicorn with a silver mane and tail tucked under his wing.

“The great and powerful Trickshie thinksh you are my besht friend” she said, obviously very intoxicated, Sauradox rolled his eyes “ever since that Twilight Shparkle pony showed me up, no one has taken me sherioushly” Sauradox perked up at that, perhaps this drunkard mess of a pony could be of some use to Teridax, he began to lead her to a dark alleyway, he quickly made sure no pony was following him before he sent the drunk former show mare to sleep and opened a portal to Teridax’s lair, he the shifted into his true form and carried the Mare into the crystal caverns.

“What have you brought this time?” Teridax asked, Sauradox lowered the pony to the floor.

“She could be of some use to use” he said “she seems to have a past history with Twilight Sparkle” Teridax walked closer.

“Ah” he said “I thought she looked familiar, she could prove a valuable ally, good work, Sauradox” the other Makuta nodded

“If I were you” Sauradox said, turning to leave “I’d let her sober for the night up before you turn her, she could barely think straight when I found her, let alone walk more than two paces” with that Sauradox walked out of the caverns.

I would add Trixie to the Character list, but I'm only allowed a maximum of five character tags
