As Spike made his way to the meeting point, the rest of the crew was making their way into the temple to ambush Finn. As Spike entered the Throne Room, he saw Finn and a bunch of other Cutthroats. "Shouldn't say I'm surprised you didn't come alone Finn."

Finn laughed, "You're even stupider than I thought if you-" suddenly, the other Cutthroats were on the ground, with Spike's crew having done their job. "What!? The HMS Pinafore is helping you!?"

Spike chuckled, "Of course they are. You really didn't know? I'm the Prince of Equestria."

Finn shuddered, shaking in his boots as he realized he'd been played, "You little brat! First you ruin my business, then you play me like I'm some kid!? I'm going to-" before stopping in his tracks as he got shot by an electro-bullet, falling to the ground, not dead, just unconscious.

Spike blew into his artificial hand's finger pistol and walked up to the unconscious shark. "As much as I wanted to kill him, I proved I'm strong enough that I didn't have to kill to win.

The Cutthroats had been released be Spike's crew, and Twilight told them, "You have two choices, leave and never get involved in piracy again, get a job or live like a hermit, I don't care. Your other option is handing over Finn's assets to the Pirate Prince and swearing loyalty to him."

Spike was shocked by Twilight's words, but he had to admit, the title Pirate Prince had a nice ring to it. The sharks looked at each other and nodded, getting down on their knee to swear loyalty to him, as he said, "Just remember this, turn on me and I'll throw you in a pit of manticores. As of now, I run the Cutthroat Clan. If you're smart enough to remain loyal to me, I can make you richer than your wildest dreams."

As they returned to the ship, Twilight and Applejack put Finn in shackles while he was still out cold. By the time he had woken up, he was in the brig of Spike's ship. He snarled as he saw Spike waiting for him to wake up, "You little brat! Let me out of here, and I'll let you keep both of your arms!"

Spike pointed his finger pistol at Finn and said, "You should consider yourself lucky, I chose not to kill you, but I don't think the Threshers and Hammerheads would care if I brought you to them dead."

Finn growled, but submitted to his fate, "Spare me the damn speech, and get it over with."

Spike rolled his eyes, "Not a chance. Killing you would be good revenge for what you did to Zecora, but you don't deserve a quick and painless death. I'm handing you over to the other Shark Clans." before walking away.

Finn yelled, punching at the bars, "Let me out of here! I'm the future of the Shark Clans, I'm Finn Dorsal!"

Spike took off his helmet and said, "Boys, set sail to Tapu Rui. I want to pay my final respects to Zecora."

The crew nodded before heading to Zecora's burial site. The Zebra chief growled, "You promised you would not return. Have you come for your word to burn?"

Spike shook his head, "No, I'm not looking for trouble. I just wanted to let you know that Zecora can rest in peace. We caught him, the one who killed her."

The Zebra chief chuckled, "You have honor and skill. You may come and go at will."

Spike smiled, "Thank you." before going to Zecora's grave, laying a carnation on it, "Rest well my friend, I've done what I thought you'd want. I resisted the urge to kill, I like to believe that's what you would have wanted me to do." before standing up and looking at his crew, smiling.

Twilight broke the silence and asked, "Not to be rude captain, but what do we do now? You've avenged Zecora's death, what do you have to do now?"

Spike took out the map that Bonnie had given him and said, "We've still got a treasure hunt to get on with."

Twilight smiled, "I already know that I shouldn't try to stop you. Let's get going." before walking back to the ship with the rest of the crew.

After delivering Finn to the Threshers, Spike was finally at peace, and headed back on the trail of the treasure that he'd gotten from Bonnie when they first met.

Meanwhile in the crew quarters...

Twilight was shocked as Rainbow told them the story about her night with Spike, "You're kidding, right? He's that big!?

Rainbow Dash nodded, "Oh yeah, best lay of my life. He's even been building a harem; what do you think he was doing with Lyra and Bonbon back at the spa?"

Twilight licked her lips and whispered a plan to the girls; they were going to have one big night together with Spike.
