The OC Story
Chapter 13: Sea-Horse and his crew.
Previous Chapter Next ChapterEveryone stood a bit awkwardly.
"What's wrong?" Fluttershy asked "I promise you, the whales mean no harm to us."
"About that," Gustavo answered "you see, we'll be encountering...some... dragons."
"Dragons?"
"Yeah!" Russell added "Huge flying lizards that occupy this land! Large enough to gulp one of us easily!"
"Oh my, I guess that would be dangerous. These whales might be big, but even then, they are probably no match for a dragon. I was hoping you'd get to your destination as you went inside a whale's mouth and lie on it's tongue for a while, but I can see why this is dangerous."
"So we're going to purchase the boat and make sure your whales aren't harmed." Kane added
"Do you know how to use a boat."
"No, not really, but it doesn't mean we can learn, now can't we?"
"That is true in a way."
"We'll use our leftover bits to get a crew we need."
"TOO LATE!!!" Doug yelled "I already got the boat and the crew we need."
"Really?" Matt asked "But how, and why so fast?"
"While you were talking to the tree-"
"I'd love to be a tree." Fluttershy interrupted
"as I was saying, I bought the boat at a bargain and made a deal with a crew to aid us. We also have enough bits for one special thing."
"One special thing?" Everyone asked
"What's that?" Russel asked. Doug ran into a tackle shop and ran out in a secon, but with white paint and paintbrushes. He opened the cans and began writing on the side of the ship, though horribly looking, "The
USS Cheez Whizz".
"Eh?" Doug asked "It's awesome, right?" Everyone just face hoofed themselves. "There's our captain!" Out of the corner, a rough looking blue olden stallion with what appears to be a wooden leg and a cutie mark of a ship came out of the corner, followed by: A brown pegasus in a white robe with knives; a pink female unicorn wearing a bandana, eyepatch, and trousers with a sword; a huge white stallion much taller than Kane covered in cuts & bruises with a cutie mark of a spoon; a little yellow colt carrying a wooden sword; another pegasus but colored white and having a spyglass cutie mark; and a unicorn who seems to be covered in gun powder, but was walking fine.
"This is our crew?" Kane asked
"I'll leave you all alone now." Fluttershy said before running away.
"If this our crew," Matt began, "we might use it to our advantage. Good afternoon, my name is Matt, and these are my friends. You've already meet Doug, but let me show you the others: the mare is Gustavo, the pegasus is Russell, and the Alicorn is Kane. What's yours?"
"Ye can call me Seahorse." The captain said in a pirate accent "Meet my crew that will help ye: the one in the hood is known as Creed, he can tell what is most valuable"
"And I can get rid of any target in any way." Creed said in a low, but stern voice.
"The other Pegasus is Bird-eye, he navigates and tells if land is nearby."
"Aye," Bird-eye responded "and a bloody good one in deed!"
"The fair lass here is Cutlass, our best swordsman."
"And a charmer." Cutlass spoke while approaching Matt "You and I can have some time alone later on." Matt Blushed a bit.
"The tall one is Taster, our chef and muscles" Taster approached to Kane
"I suppose you think you can beat me?" Taster asked in a threatening voice. Kane's eyes widened in fear.
"The one covered in powder is Canon, he runs the canon and keeps the area clean."
"I've been here since I was a cabin colt!" Canon yelled in an old man voice
"The small one is my son, Seahorse J.R., he's learning what it means to be a captain."
"It's a pleasure to meet ye!" Seahorse J.R. spoke in a much younger accent of his father.
"And this my pet-"
"A Parrot?" Kane asked
"A Parrot!? No ye bumbling sea cow!!! It's Pinchie: me pet lobster!" A lobster climbed out of a pouch and rested on the captain's hat. "What makes ye think it was a parrot?" Silence fell upon them. "Never mind about that, we are ye crew, and we will take ye to yon destination. What is it though?"
"We're going to the kingdom of Sea-ponies."
"Sea-ponies!? BAH!!! They haven't been seen in ages!!! How do ye purpose we find these ponies?"
"Well," Kane spoke "Cadence spoke that dragons are circling around the area and we-"
"Dragons!" Bird-eye interrupted "That's all we need!!! Let's all get on the... Cheez Whizz... and find these dragons!!!"
"All hands on deck!!!" Seahorse J.R. yelled. He turned to the group "If ye want to live and get to ye destination, then ye need to help or ye won't eat for the day."
"Are you kidding me?" Gustavo asked
"Captain's orders." Everyone ran to an area to work on, and they began to set sail to find the sea-ponies.
Only ocean can be seen around them. Doug was with Creed, cleaning up inside the treasure storage; Russell was with Bird-Eye, keeping an eye out for any dragons; Kane was stuck with Taster, making a recipe involving seaweed & coral; Matt sat with Canon, talking about why they're on their adventure; and finally, Gustavo was with Cutlass, learning some moves involving a sword in the mouth.
"Are we there yet?" Russel complained
"No!" Seahorse replied "Now shut ye trap!"
"Is there any faster way?"
"I have something in mind." Doug answered. He went to the side of the ship "Shoop-bee-doo!"
"What are you doing?" Seahorse J.R. asked
"Calling upon the seaponies. Shoop-Bee-Do!"
"Does it work?"
"I don't know, but it can't hurt to try. Shoop-Bee-Do!"
"Well then," Captain seahorse responded, overhearing Doug and his son. "EVERYONE!!! ALL HANDS ON DECK!!! DO WHAT THIS UNICORN IS DOING!!!" Everyone ran up to the deck and went to Doug.
"Alright," Doug said "you all we have to do is say 'Shoop-Bee-Do' together, this should summon the nearest seaponies to come to us. All together now!" Everyone began saying Shoop-Bee-Do all together for a couple of minutes. Nothing happened. They sky went dark all of a sudden. They all turned around, feeling the air getting warmer: Dragons swarmed the sky!
"YE DOOMED US!!!" Seahorse yelled "PREPARE FOR BATTLE!!!" Canon went to the canons and loaded them, firing at the dragons.
"I need more watermelons!!!" Canon yelled. Cutlass, carried by creed, landed with Bird-Eye. All pulled out their swords and swung at the Dragons. Taster took Seahorse J.R. to the Captain's quarters, while Seahorse pulled out a sword & a musket. All the dragons breathed their fire, burning down the ship. The rest tried to fight, but weren't so sucessful.
"Abandon ship!" Seahorse yelled
"But captain!" Kane yelled "We can help! We can help you-"
"No! Ye tried to help us, but ye one who renamed me ship Cheez Whizz ruined it! Get out, that also includes me crew as well."
"Captain!" Cutlass spoke in surprise "but you need us, you-"
"Get out! Take my son with you! A good captain always goes down with his ship." Silence broke as they all got on the emergency ships. They rowed as fast as they can, seeing the ship burn in a distance. A lone dragon went into she ship, causing it to sink.
"Is he-" Matt asked
"Aye." Creed answered "He went down with his ship." The dragons all disappeared, bringing back the sun on them. Hours seemed to pass, and the heat began to hit them.
"We may have cabin fever." Canon said. "We are miles from land, no food or fresh water, and your plan failed us."
"I didn't know it would fail!" Doug yelled "Stupid 'Shoo-Bee-Doo' line!" The ocean began to bubble. A small pony head breached the water, looking at them."
"Shoo-Be-Doo?" It asked
"...Shoo-Be-Doo." Doug replied. The Sea-Pony went underwater, then reappeared after a couple of moments, this time, occupied by many other sea-ponies.
"Shoo-Be-Doo!!!" All the Sea-ponies said together. They all made a huge splash, crashing into the small boat, destroying it, but somehow, bubbles were formed over each person. Some music came over head, and most of the 'Shoo-Be-Dos' were turned into english. They travelled below and saw they they were heading into an underwater kingdom.
"♫Shoo be doo! Shoo shoo be doo! Call upon the sea ponies when you're in distress, Helpful as can be ponies, simply signal S-O-S!If you find you're cast adrift and haven't got an oar (oar!), Count upon the sea ponies - they'll see you to shore!!! Shoo be doo! Shoo shoo be doo! Are you sinking fast? Had some nasty shocks? Feeling like all hope is gone and washed up on the rocks? Washed up on the rocks? Shoo be doo! Shoo shoo be doo!

They were all throne inside a special area that they can walk and breath in. It was all decorated to look like a throne room, as they can see the sea.
"I feel strange." Kane simply said
