While the sun began sinking down beneath the horizon behind Mareitania, Steel merely just sat in the crow's nest at the front of the ship. He never had the opportunity to do this before. So with his ship mostly abandoned aside from those he didn't want on board, he decided now was as good a time as ever to experience something new. As he sat high above the deck, he could see for miles around. From this perch, he'd be able to spot any ships in the distance. But to his surprise, he hadn't seen a single ship at all.

This lack of maritime traffic concerned the young stallion as he was certain that the ship was in a part of the Equestrian Ocean that was well traveled by other merchant ships. Then again, Mareitania had been adrift for several hours now. So it was hard to tell exactly where they were. As he continued looking around, he soon heard the fluttering of multiple sets of wings approaching. He soon found himself surrounded on all sides by eight changelings.

"Greetings, pony," one of them called out.

"Uh... hello," Steel replied as he looked at all of them.

"It is time, pony," another one said. "Our Queen is expecting you."

"Alright," he said. "So where are we going to eat?"

"Our Queen said that she would like to eat in your cabin," the changeling replied.

"Fine," the unicorn said. "What are we having for dinner?"

"You'll find out as soon as you get there," Scythe replied, making Steel look at him. Upon closer inspection, the stallion could see a bruise where he had struck him in the face just hours before. "Get moving," he continued. "Our Queen is famished!"

Steel simply rolled his eyes before climbing onto the rope ladder and descending down to the deck. Each of the changelings followed him to make sure he didn't try to escape. Not that there were many options available. Even if the stallion tried jumping overboard, he was certain that they'd catch him before he'd even touch the water. Once down on the deck, he looked over toward the bridge, sighing as he knew that the decision he'd have to make would have to be made soon. Would he join Chrysalis and her small army, turn his beloved ship into a floating hive, and betray his country? All to become King of the changelings. Or would he refuse and risk Chrysalis killing him and sinking his liner in an act of rage?

With all eight changelings escorting him, the lone stallion started his journey. Once he reached the superstructure, he climbed up one of the two ladders to get on the boat deck. He then walked over to the stairs leading up to the starboard bridge wing and slowly made his way up to the bridge. His group of followers merely continued looking on as the unicorn entered the bridge before stopping just outside the door leading into his cabin.

He sighed to himself before opening the door and stepping inside. Once through the door, he found Chrysalis sitting at the small table next to the window. On the table were two glasses filled with what looked to be apple cider. He could see that the one in front of the changeling Queen was half empty. After hearing the door open, Chrysalis turned to look at who it was. Once she saw it was Steel, her facial expression turned into one of seduction as she motioned for him to take a seat at the other end of the table.

Steel silently nodded before he started walking to it. He was then startled by what sounded like the cabin door being slammed shut. He then turned around and had his thought confirmed as the door was shut before the Queen used her magic to lock it, ensuring that it would just be them in the cabin.

"Welcome, Captain," she said as Steel walked over and sat down at the other side of the table. "I trust my subjects didn't give you too much trouble?"

"I suppose," Steel replied as he got comfortable in his chair. He then used his magic to levitate his hat off before placing it on top of the dresser on the other side of the room. "All they did was escort me here."

"Good," she said. "At least they can manage to do that right." After she said that, Steel looked down at the drink in front of him. It looked like apple cider. But it didn't really smell like it.

"What exactly is this?" he asked while pointing at the glass.

"That?" she replied. "Just a drink that I like to have on... special occasions." Steel simply raised an eyebrow while looking between the glass and her. "A little... appetizer that I like to share with those I deem worthy before the feast can begin."

"You mean... dinner. Right?"

"Feast. Dinner. It's all the same. Isn't it?"

"I guess so," the stallion replied. "So uh... what's in it?"

"It's a secret," she replied. "But I haven't had a complaint from any other stallion I've served it to." Steel once again looked down at the drink, looking for anything out of the ordinary. But aside from the smell, he couldn't see anything in there aside from the liquid. "Why don't you give it a try and see for yourself?"

Steel's eyes just kept looking back and forth between the glass and Chrysalis. Deep down, he had a feeling that something was off about the drink. But he really wasn't in a position to refuse to do as she wanted. Even with his magic fully restored, he was still outmatched by the Queen given what she was capable of doing.

"Guess I don't really have a choice," he said in his mind before he used his magic to pick the glass up. He then placed the rim of it against his lips and began drinking it. Chrysalis looked on as the stallion gulped down half the drink before setting the glass down.

"Well?" she asked. "What do you think?"

"Has a bit of an.... interesting taste," Steel replied. "Can't quite put my hoof on it. But it was good, I suppose."

"Good," Chrysalis said while a sly smirk could be seen on her face.

"Can I ask you a question though?"

"You just did," the changeling Queen replied before chuckling.

"Smartass," he said. "But seriously though."

"Go ahead."

"How did you and your changelings get by the checkpoints back at Manehattan?" he asked. "I thought those things were designed specifically to detect changeling magic."

"Well," Chrysalis replied. "When you're disguised as Sun Butt and the rest of those... annoyances. Ponies tend to not question what you do. When we arrived at the gate, I simply told the ponies guarding it that we were in too much of a hurry to go through their little device."

"So they just... let you through?" Steel asked before taking another few sips from his drink. "No questions asked?"

"Indeed," she replied. "You ponies can be so easily fooled sometimes." As Steel listened to her, he couldn't help but begin to feel a bit light headed. He shook his head a couple of times, which seemed to do the trick. He then took hold of the glass once more before downing the rest of the liquid content within. Once the glass was empty, he looked over at Chrysalis, who was just staring at him with her eyes half lidded and a seductive smirk. "Feeling alright, Captain?" she asked in a tone that made the stallion feel like she already knew the answer.

"I'm.... fine," he replied right before his vision started to become blurred. The light headed feeling returned once more. However it felt stronger now. He rubbed a forehoof against his head, shaking it a few more times while his breathing became slow and heavy. "What.... exactly was in.... that drink?"

"Shhh...." Chrysalis replied. "Don't worry about it, my dear." Steel shook his head a few times once more before getting out of his chair. As he stood, he felt like the room was spinning rapidly. He tried staggering over toward the door leading to the bridge. But he soon fell over roughly halfway there and had no strength to get back up. As he laid on the floor, he could hear Chrysalis chuckling before seeing her hooves stop in front of his face. "And now... the fun begins," she said before Steel drifted off into unconsciousness.

Meanwhile, back somewhere in Equestria, Dotted Line sat on the side of a dirt road. The sun shined brightly in the clear blue sky, making him sweat as he just silently looked around at his surroundings. His mind, however, was struggling to figure out exactly how he got there when the last thing he remembered doing was falling asleep at his home in Manehattan. This whole situation was strange as when he woke up in a field seemingly in the middle of nowhere, he wasn't alone. He was in the middle of a large group of ponies ranging from those clearly extremely wealthy down to ponies covered in coal dust and oil.

As the hours ticked by, the ponies all wondered off in different directions, leaving him alone with just one other stallion. At least this one was one that he knew.

"Port?" he asked, gaining the green unicorn's attention as the two sat by the road. "How exactly did we get here?"

"Your guess is as good as mine, sir," he replied. "Last thing I remember was sleeping in my hotel room. Next thing I know, I'm waking up surrounded by ponies who I have no idea are while in a place I don't think I've ever been to." Dotted nodded as his friend's situation was similar to his own. He then couldn't help but notice that he was wearing his First Officer's uniform.

"Why are you in uniform?" he asked. "I thought I told you that those clothes were to stay on the Mareitania."

"I.... could've sworn I left it there, sir," the green pony said as he looked down. "This whole situation... is strange."

"Agreed," Dotted said while nodding. He then looked around before seeing a large red colored earth pony pulling a cart of hay bales and buckets filled to their brims with apples approaching. He got up before motioning for Port to do the same. Once his friend got up, the two walked out into the dirt path and signaled for the stallion to stop. The earth pony came to a stop just in front of the two unicorns as his path was now blocked by them.

"Can I help you?" he asked in a thick country accent.

"Good day there, kind sir," Dotted said while smiling at him. "My name is Dotted Line, chairpony of the Red Apple Line."

"And I'm Port Side," Port added. "First Officer of the EMS Mareitania."

"Well. Nice to meet y'all," the earth pony replied. "Name's Big Mac."

"A pleasure to meet you, Mr. Mac," Dotted said before bowing.

"You two look more lost than a peach farmer at an apple sale," Big Mac went on to say.

"An astute observation, my good sir," the white unicorn replied. "If you could be so kind as to tell us where exactly we are, it would be very much appreciated."

"Eeyup," Big Mac replied. "We're right outside of Ponyville,"

"Ponyville?" Port asked. Big Mac silently nodded before pointing his hoof in the direction he was going.

"Town's just down the road from here," he replied. "If y'all want, I can give you a ride down there."

"Splendid!" Dotted replied. "How much would we owe you?"

"Shoot. You guys wouldn't need to pay me," he said. "Looks like y'all could use some help anyways."

"Thank you," Dotted said before he and Port climbed on the cart. The two unicorns took a seat on the hay bales as Big Mac began pulling once again. As they went along the road, Dotted felt it polite to continue having a conversation with the stallion. "So uhh... Big Mac. Do you live around here?"

"Eeyup," he replied. "Sweet Apple Acres. I live there with my granny, Granny Smith, and my two little sisters, Applejack and Applebloom."

"I see," Dotted replied. "Well. I'll be sure to tell them about your good deed if we see them in town."

"Well. Applejack ain't here right now," Big Mac replied. "She's with her friends on some sailing trip."

"Ah. I see," he said. "You know. We're actually having a voyage of our own soon as a matter of fact. In roughly a week."

"Oh yeah?"

"Indeed," Dotted replied. "The maiden voyage of the Mareitania."

"Well. I wish y'all the best of luck with that then," Big Mac replied while approaching a hill. The two unicorns observed as he pulled the cart with ease up the slope. Once at the top, they could see the town that Big Mac was referring to. Port looked around until his eyes caught sight of the train station just on the outskirts of the town.

"Could you drop us off at the train station, big guy," he asked.

"Eeyup," Big Mac replied.

"Excellent," Dotted said. "Once there, we can get tickets back to Manehattan. And once we get back there, we can continue making preparations for the voyage." He then looked down at Port's uniform before another thought came to mind. "I'm sure Captain Blade is wondering where in Equestria we are."

"Yeah," Port added as Big Mac approached the train station. "Hopefully he's doing alright."

---

"Oh.. Celestia.." Steel softly groaned as his eyes slowly opened. "Where... am I?" Once his eyes were fully open, he could see that he was in his cabin, laying on his back in the middle of his bed. The only source of light coming from the moonlight shining through his cabin window. He then felt that each of his hooves spread apart from each other. As he tried to move though, he found that he couldn't. Looking over, he could see his forehooves were restrained to the mattress by green colored magic. His eyes drifted down to find his hind legs in a similar state before noticing something else.

"What..?" he asked while looking at his shaft, standing fully erect.

"Ah. Good," a familiar voice said. "You're finally awake. I didn't think that my drink would've been so... effective on you."

"Drink?" Steel replied, his mind still clouded as he watched Chrysalis approach him before stopping beside the bed. He watched her eyes look over the stallion's body before stopping to look at his shaft. She then licked her lips before turning to look back into Steel's eyes.

"You certainly are bigger than most of the other stallions I've done this to," she said. "I'm sure we'll have all kinds of... fun."

Before Steel could think of a response though, Chrysalis moved her head forward until her lips made contact with his. He could feel her tongue force its way into his mouth. The slimy intruder rubbed itself all over the stallion's tongue, mixing her saliva with his. The taste was weird to say the least. After a few minutes, Chrysalis broke the kiss and moved her head back while a thin strand of saliva was the only thing keeping them connected. The changeling Queen then licked her lips once again, moaning softly in approval.

"Mmmmm. Yes," she moaned. "I can already taste the love."

"What... are you... doing?" he asked as his senses were still dulled by the effects of the drink.

"Don't worry, my dear," she replied before gently running a hoof along his horn. "Like I said. I know many ways of pleasing stallions like you. Just relax. Don't fight it. And let it happen." After saying that, she climbed onto the bed and straddled herself above his body. She then moved her head down and opened her mouth, showing off her fangs and forked tongue. Steel could only look on as her tongue made contact with his face. She licked his lips, sending a shiver down his spine, before it started working upward. The stallion's eyes closed as the wet appendage glided between them and up his forehead until it reached the base of his horn.

Soon, he could feel it work its way up to the tip of his horn. This inadvertently made a moan escape from his mouth. Hearing this, Chrysalis smirked before she started to take the horn into her mouth, gently suckling on it as her tongue wrapped itself around it. The feeling was warm and slimy as he could feel something else happening once his entire horn was inside her mouth. After a minute or so of this, she slowly took his horn out of her mouth before licking her lips again.

"There," she said as she stared lustfully at what she had done. Even though he was still feeling the effects of the drink, he could feel what she did. His horn was once again coated in a thick layer of green nullification goop. The warm and slimy liquid felt strangely good, making him moan again. Seeing that he was still under her influence, Chrysalis lowered her flank down and gently rubbed her wet pussy along the length of his shaft. This made her let out a moan of her own as she continued this a couple more times.

"Mmmmm...." Steel moaned. "That... feels... good."

"Likewise, you handsome stud," she replied. Clearly her drink had taken full control and his will to resist her was blocked. Coming to that conclusion, she turned herself around and presented her flank to him. Her pucker and marehood were exposed for his eyes to see. She then laid down on top of him, pressing her juicy marehood and asshole up against his muzzle. "Time for a little fun," she cooed as he could feel her drooling on his shaft. "Pleasure your Queen."

After saying that, she opened her mouth once again and allowed her tongue to begin lapping at the cock in front of her. While she was doing that, Steel began doing as instructed and began licking her wet folds. Even though a portion of his mind was internally screaming to stop, the effects of the drink pushed him on as his tongue glided up and down. Chrysalis moaned loudly before she took his shaft into her mouth and began to suck on it. Once she had his cock inside her mouth, Steel could feel her tongue wrapping around it and starting to jerk it as she was sucking. This sent waves of pleasure surging through his body as the pressure of his inevitable orgasm began building in his sack.

As the two continued pleasuring each other, he dipped his tongue inside her soaked pussy. This made her let out a long and muffled moan as she welcomed the penetration of her love canal. The love she was sensing from him was delicious and overwhelming. Something she was eager to have more of. While his tongue was acting like her own personal toy, she pushed her head down until the stallion's entire shaft was in her mouth. The tip of his cock was halfway down her throat as her tongue wrapped around the base of his cock.

Steel's moans were growing longer and louder as his orgasm grew closer and closer. His precum was steadily leaking out the tip and was giving the changeling on top of him something new to taste. She quickly lapped it up and started sucking on the tip like a straw, wanting more of the delicious liquid. As the stallion's tongue explored her pussy further, it brushed up against a sensitive spot, making her gasp and press her flank down against his muzzle.

When he felt this, his tongue started focusing on that area. The taste of her sweet juices fueled him on. While his mind was pleading to stop, his body was behaving on its own and just kept going. Suddenly, Chrysalis moaned loudly around his shaft as her orgasm occurred, sending a wave of fluids into his mouth. Steel swallowed all of it as she grinded herself on his muzzle.

Feeling satisfied for the first time in so long, she wanted to repay him by giving him what he wanted. She dipped her head down once again, taking his entire cock into her mouth. The stallion's moans were being muffled by her flank, but she pressed on. She even lit up her horn and began massaging his sack with her magic.

"Cum for me, my King," she said in her mind as she moved her head back, lapping at the tip of his cock. "Stuff my stomach with your seed!" After several minutes, Steel could no longer withstand her onslaught of pleasure. As she licked the tip of his shaft and squeezed his sack with her magic, she was rewarded with the first of many spurts of hot, fresh stallion seed. Spurt after spurt of his cum was shot out like being fired from a cannon. She let out a lustful moan as she swallowed all of it, not letting a single drop escape her lips.

After draining his sack of cum, the changeling Queen took the cock out of her mouth and gave the tip a soft kiss before getting off of the stallion and laying down beside him. Seeing that he was worn out from this, she lit up her horn and made the magical restraints disappear, sensing that he was going to be fully cooperative from this point.

"Mmmmmmm....." she moaned softly as she gazed at him. "I haven't felt this good in so long. My stomach is simply bulging with the amount of delicious seed you put in there." Hearing this, he looked down to find that she wasn't kidding. Her belly protruded outward slightly as she ran a forehoof along it. "I can't wait to feel you fertilize my eggs and create a new generation of changelings," she cooed while looking at him.

"Oh... yeah?" he asked as he breathed heavily.

"In fact. Why don't we find out just how good that would feel," she seductively suggested as her horn lit up once more. Looking down, he could see his shaft and sack be enveloped in her green colored magic before feeling a tingling sensation. After several seconds, her magic faded as his shaft was once again rock hard. Seeing this, she moaned as she got up and once again straddled herself above him. But as she was doing this, he could feel the effects of the drink beginning to wear off. Soon, he felt like he was fully back in control of himself just in time to get a sense of the situation. His eyes darted back and forth between her eyes and her flank as she lined her marehood up with his shaft and slowly started lowering itself down. Seeing this, the will to resist finally appeared as he shook his head a few times.

"No!" he shouted, making the changeling stop as her flank was mere inches above the tip of his shaft.

"What... was that, dear?" she asked in a tone that was mixed of seduction and annoyance.

"I said no!" he repeated, his sense of resistance gaining more strength. Hearing this, the Queen frowned at him.

"Why?" she asked, clearly upset at this show of defiance. "You were happily enjoying my body just mere minutes ago. What changed?"

"That... drink of yours wore off! That's what changed! Now get off of me!"

Upon hearing that, the Queen huffed as she remained in her position. She was honestly bewildered by the resistance that this stallion had. She had just given him a preview of what he would have if he had chose to join her. Pretty much any of the other stallions she had done this to would've happily agreed to be her King had they proven to be satisfying to her. This one though. He was different. He was the first one that truly satisfied her. But it was he who was rejecting her.

This made a new feeling emerge within her. The feeling of rejection. The pain that she had inflicted on so many was now being inflicted on her. This pony had the audacity to reject her? A Queen? She was gracious enough to spare the lives of his friends, his passengers, and his crew. And this is how he repays her? This made the feeling of anger build up inside her as she got off of him and got off the bed.

But just as he started to get up, she took hold of him with her magic and threw him across the room in an act of rage. Steel cried out just before smashing through his private bathroom's door, coming to a stop within. Once that happened, he let out a long and painful groan as he slowly rolled over and tried to stand.

"You.... have made.... a big.... mistake!" she said through gritted teeth as her horn lit up once again. This time, it was enveloped around his neck as she lifted him up and brought him close to her. His hind legs flailed in the air as his forehooves tried in vain to help him escape. "Unlike so many before you. You were the first to truly satisfy me," she said, making him look at her. "And yet. You reject me? No stallion rejects Queen Chrysalis!"

"I... just... did!" he said defiantly. This only made her angrier as she tightened her magic around his neck.

"You would've had anything you wanted," she continued. "Power. Adoration. Love. Pleasure that most stallions could only dream of." She then let out a sigh before glaring at him. "I gave you a mere glimpse of that. And you choose to not give me what I want?"

"Fuck.... you!"

"I thought that you would be different," she said while looking into his blue colored eyes. "I thought that you'd be my King and give me a new generation of changelings to rule over. But now. Now I see that you're just like the rest of my useless subjects."

"I... am... nothing.... like them!"

"Clearly," she replied before releasing her hold on his neck, letting him drop to the floor. "At least they know when to obey their Queen." He then watched as she turned and began walking toward the door leading out to the bridge. As he started to catch his breath, he could only lay there and watch as she stopped and turned around to look at him. "Enjoy these last few minutes while you can. Because after all," she continued before glaring right into his eyes. "No ship should go down without her Captain!" After saying that, she slammed the door shut. The stallion then watched as the perimeter of the door became encased in green magic. Shaking his head a few times, he got up and quickly made his way over to the door before trying to open it. However, it wouldn't budge.

"Come, my changelings!" he heard Chrysalis call out from outside. "We're leaving!" He then rushed over to the window to see Chrysalis hovering just off the side of the ship.

"Yes, my Queen!" a changeling shouted as he watched her eight changeling followers join her. He then pounded on the glass a few times as they all put a little distance between themselves and the ship.

"What are you gonna do?!" he shouted before seeing Chrysalis turn to look back at him. Once her gaze rested on the liner, her horn lit up once more. As the seconds passed, it grew brighter and brighter before she sent a blast of magic directly at the ship. Steel braced himself as best he could for impact. But the liner heeled over toward the left side upon being struck, sending Steel falling backwards onto the floor of his cabin, sliding over to the opposite side of the room. Soon, he felt the floor level out as the liner slowly righted itself. The hull groaned loudly as the ship then began tilting to the right. As soon as he felt this, Steel's pupils shrank as he slowly got back up and made his way back to the window in time to see Chrysalis and her followers fly away from the ship before disappearing from view.

As the seconds ticked by, he could feel the ship listing more and more to starboard.

"I need to get out of here!" he said before making his way into the bathroom and repeating the process of removing the goo on his horn. Once it was off, Steel rushed out before trying to open the door to the bridge again. Like before, he couldn't get it to open at all as the green colored magic continued enveloping the edges of it. "You fucking bitch!" he called out while looking up to find his sword still on the mounting hooks above. He then took hold of it with his magic before removing it from the scabbard. The polished metal blade shined brightly under Luna's moonlight. He then put it back in before securing the strap around his body.

As the stallion continued struggling to think of ways to escape the cabin, the liner's list to starboard increased by a few degrees. Steel estimated that if this kept up, it wouldn't be long before the liner would capsize. His attention then turned to the window. His blue colored magic enveloped the latch as he undid it before slowly opening it. A sigh of relief could be heard as he climbed out of the window, thankful that Chrysalis had forgotten about it. Once outside, Steel quickly grabbed his hat with his magic and placed it back on his head before he rushed back onto the bridge, looking for a specific instrument that would tell him how bad the situation was.

"Where are you..." he said to himself while using his horn to provide light before his eyes rested on a gauge mounted on the wall behind the helm. It was the ship's clinometer, a tool used to see how bad a ship is leaning to one side or the other. Thankfully, it didn't need electricity to function. As the stallion squinted his eyes, he found that the ship had an eight degree list to starboard. "Okay," he said after looking at where the needle was. "I still have time."

Steel then made his way out to the starboard bridge wing. Once there, he tried looking over the side as best as he could to hopefully see the extent of the damage. Unfortunately, he was unable to see anything. He then descended the stairs down to the boat deck. Seeing all of the lifeboats still secured in their davits made the unicorn shudder as visions of what the situation on deck would've looked like had there been passengers aboard still played through his mind.

"I need to get down and see the damage," he said while rushing down the deck. However. Trying to navigate a listing ship in darkness with the only source of light coming from his horn was something he didn't really want to do. In order to get down there quickly, he'd have to do something that he learned about in school, but had never tried to do since. That being teleportation.

He breathed deeply before closing his eyes as he pictured Boiler Room One in his mind. He then channeled the magic in his horn before executing the spell. Soon, the stallion found himself on a metal floor instead of a wooden deck. He then used his horn to illuminate the room before looking around to see that he was in fact inside a boiler room. The hull around him groaned loudly from down where he was before the sound of water could be heard not too far away.

Looking in the direction of the sound, he found that it was coming from Boiler Room Two, the one located directly in the middle of the ship. Struggling to keep on his hooves, he passed through the open watertight door between the two boiler rooms. Once through, he went over to the small space between the boilers where the stokers would keep the fires lit. But now, each boiler was cold and dark. Seeing this sent a chill down his spine as he then looked ahead at the wall of metal separating the boiler room from the two coal bunkers on the starboard side. He could see water shooting out through the small spaces between the four doors that would open to allow stokers to get more coal and the wall around them.

Out of instinct, Steel lit up his horn and closed the huge watertight doors, sealing himself in the boiler room. He then looked back at the four coal doors as water continued coming in. Lighting his horn up once more, he started encasing their perimeters with his magic, much like Chrysalis did to his cabin door. Once done, the water ceased coming through them. But now the metal wall began groaning loudly. The stallion knew that the thickness of the wall wasn't much. Those bunker walls were designed to hold back coal. Not water. Something he was trying to get this one to do. But as the minutes passed by, the groaning of the metal told the Captain that it wouldn't be long before the wall would give way to the sea. One by one, he watched as the large sheets of metal started bulging out toward the room, signaling that the pressure inside the bunker was at the wall's breaking point.

Steel reacted to this by widening his magic to now envelop the entire wall. At this point, the whole side of the room now glowed bright blue as the stallion's magic was now the only thing keeping it up. He knew that as soon as his energy was spent, it wouldn't take long before the wall would collapse, sending water crashing into the boiler room and dooming him to a watery grave.

"You're right, Chrysalis," Steel said as the final words she said to him played in his mind over and over. "No ship should go down.... without her Captain." He then gritted his teeth and began to increase his magic's power. "But I'll be damned if I go down.... without a fight!"
