Captain Jack Sparrow stuck his head around the corner of a building. His mustache twitched as he thought of what to do. The plan was to find the riches, but personally, the pirate lord wanted nothing more than a few bottles of rum.

"Okay! We gooo... THIS WAY!!" he explained, running to another corner, a group of his crew following close behind. "Stop!" Jack Sparrow whispered. "The Red Coats..." he continued with a slight grimace, spotting a celestial armored pony with a lance leaning against a gate.

Applejack walked down the kingdom's long streets toward her home on the Zap Apple Orchards. She was on her way home from a counsel with Princess Celestia to inform Onyx, an old acquaintance of hers, about the destruction of Equestria's finest ships. Applejack hadn't paid much attention to the meeting, however.

Suddenly, a flare of light momentarily blinded her. Rubbing the blindness away, the element cautiously scanned the area. She shrugged her shoulders and turned to walk home.

She was stopped, mid step, by the sight of an oddly dressed bunch of ponies in her path. A pony with a hat, mustache, and boots stopped dead in his tracks as Applejack stared at him, slightly confused. "Howdy!" she exclaimed approaching the stallion.

"AAAHH!!" he shouted in surprise... "ABANDON SHIP!!" the stallion yelled running away as if his life depended on it.

"Wait! Hold on for just and apple pickin' second! I didn't mean ya any harm!" she called after the pony, lifting a confused brow "What in the name of Celestia?" she asked herself as she ran after then.

It was then that Rainbow Dash appeared next to her. "Hey, Jackie!" she said, waving her hoof at the pony with the grin. "Where's the fire?" she continued, noting the earth mare's exasperated expression

"Did you just see them, there ponies?" Applejack said, pointing at the group.

"I wouldn't pay too much attention to them." Rainbow Dash acknowledged with a grin. "Speakin' of, I should probably go tell Onyx 'bout them pirates." she continued. "Well... See ya!" With that, Rainbow Dash vanished just as fast as she had come.

The sound of a loud knocking on the door accompanied by the sound of Rainbow Dash's voice forced Onyx to leave the table. "I'll get it." he grumbled, rising from his seat. Swinging the front door open, he spotted the familiar sight of cyan blue and rainbow clad across a pegasus mare. "Hey... RD," he said. "Come on in," the stallion continued, holding the door open for the feisty teenager.

"Thank you, Mister Onyx," she pipped up, neatly folding her wings as she went to the table. A cheery smile crossed her face as she saw the family. "Hello, Scarlet!" she said to the white pegasus.

"Mm, hello." the red and white mare acknowledged with a nod.

"Well if it isn't ol' Rocket Butt," Ratchet growled. Scarlet Blitz shot the mechanic a glare. With a gulp, he said; "I-I mean... You're really fast, no?"

"Yep!" the cyan pegasus replied as she cracked a grin. Onyx then entered the room and took his seat next to Scarlet Blitz at the dinner table.

"So! What brings you to these parts, friend?" Onyx asked. "Surely, it must be important if your coming all the way from Canterlot," the stallion continued.

Rainbow Dash pondered for a moment, seemingly forgetting what she had come for. "Oh, yeah!" she exclaimed. "Princess Celestia wanted me to tell you to get your tail over to Canterlot ASAP." she told him matter of factly.

Onyx stared at the young pegasus like she had three heads. "Well aren't YOU a little demanding." he growled at Rainbow Dash with a frown on his face.

"Sorry." she grimaced. "But, anyway, Princess Celestia wants you at the castle because of pirates." Rainbow continued as if nothing had happened.

"SEE!! I TOLD you that Celestia would want to see you!!" Ratchet blurted at his brother.

With a loud sigh, Onyx placed his hooves against his head. "I can't just leave my family!" he told the teenager pegasus. "You're gonna have to find somepony else to help you."

"Why don't we come with you?" Scarlet suggested. "Obsidia would love to be at the castle. She's never been there before." On cue, Obsidia's ears flicked up.

"Fine!" his father said at last. "But just keep in mind that I'm not getting myself caught up in any battles like the Godzilla one, alright?" he growled.

"Yes, Sir!" Rainbow Dash said, instantly placing a hoof to her forehead and preparing to launch back to the castle.

"PLEASE!! Not in the house!" Scarlet Blitz said, putting a hoof up to stop the cyan pegasus. With a roll of the eyes, Rainbow Dash nodded that she understood and left.

-Canterlot Castle-

Captain Jack Sparrow snuck inside of Canterlot's castle, his mind fixed on finding a good bottle of rum, or two... or maybe three. Most likely three.

With that, the pirate lord began to slam his hoof into the marble floor, searching for a secret hatch or opening of some kind, as he had done when marooned on an island with Elizabeth Swan.

"HEY!! You there!" a voice called. Captain Sparrow looked up and spotted a 'British' pony approaching him. "What do you think you're doing?!"

"Well, hello there, deformed donkey! I am... RUNNING AWAY!!!" With that, Jack turned to leave, only to be stopped by a different pony. Soon, the entire group of pirate's was surrounded by 'British' guards. "That was unexpected." Sparrow muttered with wide eyes. He then tried to distract the guards. "HEY! What's that?!" With that, the pirate lord turned tail and tried to run, only for a guard to grab his coat collar and pin him to the ground effortlessly.

"What do you ponies want?!" the armored stallion growled at Captain Sparrow.

"I was just trying to find the RUM!!" he replied with wide eyes.

"We'll see what Princess Celestia has to say about that, THEIF!" he growled, lifting Jack to his feet and putting chains around his shins. The guard was surprisingly strong.

"What be yer plan now, Jack?" Mister Gibbs whispered into the drunken pirate's ear.

"SHUT UP!!" a guard pony commanded, yanking on the chains around Gibbs' neck.

"GAK!" the stallion choked.

"Nice job, Sparrow." Captain Hector Barbosa growled to himself. He instantly wished he hadn't when Jack brought a hoof to the back of his head.

"That's CAPTAIN Sparrow, to you. Savvy?" he corrected.

"I said SHUT UP!!!" the guard yelled, pulling a sword from a metal sheath and bringing it to Captain Jack's neck. The pirate lord rolled his eyes and grimaced.

"They always get angry when I try to find the rum." he muttered to him self.
