The OC Story
Chapter 16: New Heroes
Previous Chapter Next ChapterHours had passed, and nighttime came upon them. They put Kane and Seahorse next to a campfire, lit up by the same dragon that had them in it's stomach. Russell, Bird-eye, and Creed finally arrived on the island. They were shocked to see a dragon sitting with the group.
"Don't worry," the dragon stated "I won't eat any of you... at least... not on purpose."
"What happened while we're gone?" Creed asked "Is that seahorse!?!?"
"Aye." Cutlass answered "The Sea-pony spoking one and the blank flank went inside the Dragon to pull their friend, but found out the dragon also had our captain inside, pulling them out as well."
"And it was disgusting!!!" Seahorse added. Everyone gasped, seeing the captain getting up like it was nothing.
"Captain!" Cannon yelled "You live!!!"
"Of course I live: I am Captain Seahorse, legend of the seas!!! When you all left me ship, I was ready to accept me end. I didn't know thing, but I weren't burned alive, but was underwater, reaching for the sky. I thought it was the night, but I looked down, and saw the teeth of the beast, closing down on us. A huge force pulled me back, and I went down into the abyss, not knowing if we would make it or not. Only thumps were heard, and the stench was so great, me nose couldn't handle it, and I went to sleep from it, slowly accepting our fate. Then you two came along and saved us!!!" Seahorse hugged Doug and Matt very hard. "Ye smell of fish, but ye slithered away as eels. How can we thank ye?"
"How about waking up our friend?" Gustavo
"The lass is right! Hold on a sec." Seahorse went to Kane, and extended his hoof in a slapping position.
"Hold on!" Lywa interrupted "Allow me." The chibi went to Kane's side. It crawled on Kane's chest and made it's way to his face. She sticked her tongue out and licked his nose. Kane got up quickly, screaming while throwing Lywa, hitting Doug, and running behind Matt to steer clear of the Dragon.
"WHERE AM I?!?!" Kane yelled "I was flying in the sky, about to yell at you guys, then, all of a sudden, I had my back on something sticky!!!"
"A tongue?" Matt asked
"Yes! I was on a tongue, and I saw the outside world. NO! I saw teeth around me!!! I was then bouncing around! I fought for my life!!! A large voice went past the sound of the squishing of the tongue, recalling how exquisite I tasted!!! ME!?!? BEING TASTY!?!?!? the world dropped on me, and I was swallowed!!! SWALLOWED I TELL YOU!!! WHOLE!!! And the smell, it was... it was-" Kane's face went blank, he ran to the ocean and puked in the water. "Oh God... my life was about to go down the toilet."
"Literally." Doug commented. Kane turned and gave a crazy look.
"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU DOUG!!!" Kane chased after Doug around the beach, eventually doing laps around the dragon.
"Should I just put him in my mouth?" The dragon asked "Would that make you feel better?"
"YES!!!" Kane responded, still chasing Doug. "And swallow him while you're at it!!!"
"No!" Doug responded "Don't swallow!!!"
"Got it." The Dragon said. It placed it's head on the floor, oppening it's maw in their lap. Doug saw the teeth and tried to slow down, but tripped on the bottom lip and landed on the tongue. The dragon closed it's mouth and swished Doug around for a moment or two. It spit Doug out in a ball of spit. Doug got up and tried shaking the saliva off, but was still covered.
"Better?"
"Thanks," Kane responded, still angry "even if you did swallowed me whole, I thank you."
"No Problem. You should know, it was your friends who got you out."
"Really?" Kane's voice got lower to curiosity
"Yeah, the white one was really determined to get you out, hitting me until I would get you out." Kane turned to Matt. Tears started to come out of the Alicorn's eyes.
"You went in to get me out?"
"I'm your best friend," Matt responded "of course I would."
"Yeah," Doug added, shaking his tail to the fire "I went in as well. We found you knocked out, missing some hair & feathers, but alright for the most part."
"Really?" Kane asked
"We did." Matt said "The rest tied down the dragon's feet & neck down, and they began tickling him."
"Tickling?"
"We said the same thing. It helped us get out really easy. I'm just glad we didn't have to use the 'back exit'".
"You mean th- Ohhh... that."
"Sounds disgusting." Russell commented "Glad I wasn't there."
"You also said you had vorarephilia." Doug added. A poker face went on Kane's face.
"I said that?" Kane asked, sheepishly.
"You did." Silence fell upon them.
"So why are the Seaponies being attacked?" Bird-Eye asked, breaking the silence.
"The dragons have been eating them." Matt answered "They think they're fish."
"Really?" Kane asked
"They do. We have to find a way to stop this."
"...I GOT IT!!!"
"What is it?" Seahorse asked
"While in the dragon's belly, while asleep, Luna-"
"Princess Luna!?!?" Everyone interupted
"Yes, Princess Luna, came to me, telling me that I will escape from the dragon's stomach, and we will be able to aid the two sides! Dragon and Cutlass."
"Yes?" the two responded
"You will be with me. We're going in the island and point the difference between fish & seapony. The rest of you, find a new home for the seaponies to avoid casualties, if any dragon forgets to tell the difference are."
"You seem on the ball tonight." Doug responded "How do you propose we do that?"
"I'll leave that up to you. Let's get our sleep for now, then we'll do what we need to do." Everyone went to sleep around the campfire. They had a big day tomorrow.
Everyone woke up and found themselves awake on the Dragon's underbelly.
"This is weird." Kane remarked in an awkward voice. Kane and Cutlass rode on the Dragon's back, heading toward the volcano in the middle. Everyone, in the ocean, wasn't sure what to do. Lyra casted a spell that turned them into Seaponies.
"Shoo-Bee-Doo!!!" Doug yelled before going into the water. Hours seemed to pass. The dragons stared at Kane and Cutlass, some even finding them appetizing. Their dragon growled at the others that tried to make a break for it. Kane used Cutlass to use all the words needed to explain the difference between Fish & seaponies. Kane added images to help prove their point. Below the water, all the seaponies gathered around them.
"How will we do this?" Lyra asked
"We should take the kingdom," Doug answered "And push it somewhere else!!!". All the seaponies, without being told to do so, pushed the castle with all their strength to Horseshoe Bay. Kane and Cutlass, meanwhile, accomplished their part, as the dragons can tell the difference between a fish and seapony. Their Dragon grabbed them and flew to where the others were at. The Ponies in the Bay were surpised to see all the seaponies, but freaked out, seeing the Dragon heading towards them.
"It's alright," Matt stated "The dragon means no harm." Doug said. "It's dropping off some of our friends." The dragon landed and dropped the two.
"Thank you so much." Kane said to the Dragon.
"It's no biggy," the Dragon answered "I just wish that I didn't, well, ate you."
"And I wished I wasn't so afraid of you at first." Both smiled and laughed at each other.
"If you need me, you know where to find me." the dragon flapped it's wings and went away.
"Time to go." Matt said. "Let's see if this works. with Cadence."
"Oh... right."
"Well lads," Seahorse spoke "This is where we part ways."
"But seahorse-" Doug said
"Don't do that: the sea is me life, and me life, I shall follow. Come along men, we got more areas to explore!!!" The pirate crew left.
The O.C.s made it to the Empire in some time. The shield was down, and both the humans and ponies were working together, building farms and bringing down the human made forts. The silhouette of Cadence came do on them, revealing the princess when she landed right near them.
"I'm glad to see you're back!" Cadence congradulated "We're both doing well, and my husband, shining Armor, is keeping things in check. Word has gotten around of your victory, and many are wondering what you will do next. You may want to talk to some of the locals, first. Many would love to hear your adventure."
"I guess they would." Matt said. They went to the now cooperative area. Both peoples stopped what they were doing and surrounded the guys, each whispering things like "Those are the heroes?", "Was one of them really eaten by a dragon?", and "What's a seapony?".
"I got this." Kane confidently said. He made himself present by posing in a heroic fashion. It worked... kinda, all the adults stopped and turned their attention to him, but a stampede of both human and pony children came along, tackling Kane and dragging him to another area. Many laughs and aws came from the adults of the two species, as Kane sat down while the children all played on & around him, most of them asking about his experienced on being swallowed whole.
"Now that he's gone," Doug said. He went up to the citizens, all of them giving him a look of disapointment. "I know what you're thinking, and yes, it's true, my friend was swallowed whole. BUT!!! I went inside to free him, we learned why the seaponies were attacked, and I lead the Seaponies to move their home to an area where they wouldn't have much to fear as." Doug and Kane told their audiences on how their adventure went, such as Seahorses' crew, finding the seaponies, reimmaginings of other characters are around, Kane showing Lywa to the kids (But keeping it calm from the excitement of seeing humans), how Kane was swallowed whole, Kane & Cutlass training dragon's the difference while Doug & the others pushed the Seapony kingdom (literally) to a new home. Both sides applauded to them, knowing what went down and how they themselves can work together. Even Roland, the commander that told them what's happening with the humans, smiled and clapped to their story, just before leaving.
"I say that's a wrap!" Russell said, as everyone left to continue doing their task
"Are you sure?" a voice asked them "What makes you think this is the end of your journey?
"Wait a minute," Gustavo said, "That voice! Discord!" At that moment, in a flash, Discord appeared, grabbing all of them in one arm.
"I'm so glad you haven't forgot about me!!! You five, completing your first adventure out of the many to come!!! You're so adorable, it makes me wanna eat you all...mostly you strongheart." His mouth opened very widely, showing off all his teeth to the Alicorn, giving a frightened look on his face."
"Why are you here?" Matt asked
"To congratulate you all is why I'm here. This will go into autobiography!"
"Your autobiography?" Gustavo asked
"Did I say mine, I mean OUR autobiography."
"And that is?" Russell asked. Discord snapped his fingers, bringing in a book with a cover of Discord juggling a five guys drive-thru.
"How Discord (and Five Guys) saved the world from the collapse of the Stock Exchange!!!"
"What!?!?" Kane yelled in confusion "That cover doesn't have us on it, and WE are NOT saving the world from the collapse of the Stock Exchange!!!"
"Well, Weakheart, it sounds much more fun than 'the ultimate war between two species that coexisted millions of years before banishment."
"WEAKHEART!?!?"
"I don't mind at all," Doug commented "in fact, it sounds like something I'd read." The unicorn rubbed his head on the chest of Discord, purring a bit.
"See?" Discord asked, teleporting the rest on the ground, but keeping Doug in his hands "at least one of you loves me.
"I know, and that's why I love you."
"Love me?"
"Not in that way."
"Good." The two snuggled for a while, similar to how Kane was with Lywa. "Oh!!! I just remembered something!!!"
"What is it?" Matt asked. Discord snapped his fingers, and all were back at Canterlot.
"You're welcome." he snapped his fingers and left, leaving Doug as well.
"No!" Doug yelled "Discord! Come back!!!"
"You'll meet him later." Celestia said, sitting on the throne. "For now, you must aid another area. "
