And All I Got Was This Pointy Hat

"BRACE!!!"

Didn't need to tell me, the cannonball to the chest was a good reminder. But thank you Captain, oh wait... he stopped breathing.

  Slowly picking himself off the sand, Ropes remembered everything that just happened. The Celestial Empires naval fleet cleaned their decks with the crew, destroying the ship he sailed on as a crew mate, Griffin Fang. Ropes dusted the sand off of himself and looked around, in an effort to find survivors. Not one mate pulled through, except for the poor chap beside him.

  "Ahhh, sweet Celestia my head. What happened to the ship! She be gone without me!" , the white stallion mumbled. He was that of a different group of naval costumes all together, The Reformed Lunar Republic. But why he was with the Empire who is to say, but Ropes smelled something... pleasing.

  " Names Ropes, and you have a bounty of bits there." Ropes said reaching for the purse, only to find the wrong end of the barrel of a musket pointed at him.

"Pirates, frisky as ever, tell you what lad. If you get me off this island, they are yours. Oh and its Black Blade". Blade lowered his musket and held his hoof out to Ropes.

Taking his hoof with a shake Ropes replied, " Don't be lying or I'll be behead'n you".

A Rock is Not What I Want

   "Blade, oof, do you mind slowing, whew, down a'bit?" Ropes spat out with the last remaining air in his lungs. He sprinted through an entire jungle, non-stop, for two hours straight.

  " We are almost there lad, you'll get your pay soon 'nuf".  Blade wasn't lying either, after getting an Ariel View of the island, two ships were visible at a cove over the hill. They just need one to leave this place and sail to Canterlot Palace.

  " Alright lad here, take these and kill those two", he said unsheathing twin blades and hoof holsters. He motioned to the guards by the ship we wish to steal, " I will tend to the others, you need to kill the Captain of the ship and take the wheel for us". Ropes nodded to him in agreement.

  He motioned bushes to hide in to sneak upon them. Once ready, Ropes made his first blow. Using a nearby tree, Ropes flipped over the first guard and embedded his sword in the guards back. Using this momentum Ropes kick the other, landed upon him and sliced his throat, and was greeted with a fountain of blood.

Ropes then used his unique ability, enhanced senses of pirates, and located the Captain of the vessel. He was going to die slowly for killing Ropes' mates. Ropes ran up and brought the blades down with much effort, severing the left fore hoof. Chaining the attack, Ropes slashed the stallions left eye, lifted him up, and rammed him into a rowboat.

  " Sorry mate", Ropes said placing three barrels of gunpowder in the boat, " But your going off with a Bang". Cutting the boat free, he lit a piece of wood and chucked it into the rowboat. With a deafening bang the Captain was strewn across the waters surface.

  " Nice job lad, here", Blade tossed Ropes the purse ," All yours now".

  Ropes reached into the purse and pulled out a red gemstone shaped as a lightning bolt.

  " What is this gem? Never seen it before", he said while examining it.

  " Overheard Princesses Big Flanks, say that there were more and that they could stop entire armies, this is one out of six I heard, called them the Elements of Something or other. Found that to give a boost of strength and agility to get out of a jam.", he motioned to the gem and acted as if he was pressing it against his neck.

  Ropes mimicked him and saw a vision.

"Loyalty: An Element that provides strength against unfair odds. Princesses Luna possessed this Element in the Banishment of Discord. Allowing to be more in tune in combat Luna used this to stop King Sombra and hid the gem away. Using caution with this Element is needed as Loyalty alone cannot exist. Find the other Elements and stop this fray of sisters."

   "Ahhh!!! What was that!?"

   " What did you see lad? Did it show you the other Stones?" Blade was practically crawling on Ropes to know, eager to hunt for the treasures.

    " Nay, but the stone spoke to me and explained it's past and powers. If all the stones were used at once, then it could win this war on either side. Tell me, that uniform is Reformed Lunar Republic, then we can get in contact with Luna correct?".

   " Indeed, shall we sail there now?"

  " Yes we need help finding the others, and she hid a few of them 200 years ago so she could have an idea."

   " Lunar Island it is then lad, away with... wait we need to name the ship."

   " The Ghost?"

  " That'll do!!! Lunar Island is our next stop!!".

These Elements could help gain Bits and Rum, and would attract mares with their beauty, Riches and Glory I come at full Sail!!

The New Lass

      The Ghost, with a crew of two was a quick ship. Though as big as it was nopony could see any smaller ships. At least until they heard the bashing sound of breaking wood and screams were heard underneath them.

   " Ropes I think we might have hit something", Blade said. He quickly turned The Ghost to the side as Ropes pulled the sails in to no longer catch the wind. Bashed and damaged was a smaller ship with at least 20 men on-board but the Captain was no where to be found. Ropes, seeing that he could use a crew was quick to offer a trip aboard his ship.

    " Oh, so you bash into my ship and expect to just take my crew along too?". Turning to face the voice, Ropes was caught by what he found. A mare, who was nearly the same height as Ropes, was standing a few feet from him. Ropes looked at her, catching that she was the Captain, and moved to say something.

   Only talking wasn't what this mare wanted, as she gave him a generous helping of hoof in the face, knocking him back on the side railing. Quickly recovering, Ropes parried under the next blow and punched the mare in the gut. Taking the opportunity to strike again, Ropes slid her hoofs from underneath her and pinned her to the ground.

   " That wasn't nice lass, how about you give me a reason NOT to kill you", Ropes spat as he withdrew his swords.

   " Listen to me, what ever you want with my ship or its contents, there is nothing there for you" the mare whispered.

   " And what exactly makes you think I was boarding you?"

   " Well you did ram us, not exactly friendly actions".

   " Well blame yourself for not getting out of the way, and besides the ships destroyed now".

   " So you going to kill me yet, or do you want some rum while we wait?"

   " Peace is what I want", Ropes said sheathing his swords," and I ask again, do you want passage on this ship or not?"

   The mare got up and thought for a while and spoke, " Sure, why the hell not, name is Cutlass by the way". She held her hoof out and Ropes took it and shook.

  " Ropes, and we are moving to Lunar Island", Ropes said. He motioned towards Blade to call out the destination to the new found crew.

  " FULL SAIL, we are heading to Lunar Island lads", Blade shouted for all to hear. The crew quickly let the sails loose and caught the wind with a lurch forward.

  " What business do you have there, are you Lunar Navy?" Cutlass asked.

  " Nay, we need to find something that Luna might know about, some gemstones called the Elements of Harmony", Ropes pulled out the red stone he wore. Cutlass looked with envy and wanting eyes.

   " It is quite a pretty stone, but what is so special about it?", she asked.

  " That is what we wish to find out from Luna, apparently she used it before and knows of the others location"

  " I see, well I am going to prepare for trouble if it finds us, call me up when we arrive". Cutlass walked off, leaving Ropes to himself. Ropes thought for a while about what would he do with the stones when he had them all, who would he stop or sell them to. He looked up to see the island in question. Lunar Island.

The Moon and its Big Arse

Following Chapter Contains Sex, if you can't take it skip the parts after the line.

  Ropes was in awe. He was standing in front of Luna herself, though that's not what he was shocked about. No Luna's flanks were drawing his eyes in, like they had a gravitational pull.  These were big and well rounded, looked like they could be used as pillows and...

  " What are you staring at colt!" Luna shouted, causing Ropes to shrink back and focus. He quickly pulled the Loyalty stone out to show to her. Catching eye of it, Luna stood and walked to Ropes.

  " Where did you retrieve this?" she asked.

  " I found it in a chest off of the shores of Griffon Rock" Blade said, he was preparing to be struck down by the Princess. Luna, however looked at Ropes, and studied him closely. Her horn began to glow as Ropes was enveloped in the aura of blue light.

  " You seem to have what I want, what is your price?" she said dissipating the glow.

  " We wish to know of any other stones like this, I saw a vision that the stone caused that spoke of five more and that you would know of two others that you hid. So whats this mean to you?" Ropes said, hoping that the Princess would relay the information to him so he may find them.

   " If you wish to know that, then you must make sure the my sister Celestia does not acquire them herself".

   " You have my word, you Highness".

   " That is not what I meant".

   " Then what do you wish from me? Blood?" Luna inched closer and whispered to him.

   " A night of trust from you, and you must follow every command I give. Then I will reveal the locations to you".

Ropes, trying to comprehend what was just said, backed up. He had a night with the Princess and treasure beyond his wildest imagination. That was a deal to have. Ropes didn't like the idea of being used and ordered, but for the Stones, he would gladly accept.

   " Fine, your Highness, I will accept these terms"

   " Wonderful, guards escort him to my room immediately"

   The guards leading Ropes bowed in respect and left with Ropes to Luna's quarters.

  Ropes sat and wondered about how he was going to locate exactly where these Elements of Harmony, when Luna came into the room.

   " Now, lets begin our business here tonight" Luna was still in her formal wear that Royalty wore. She looked stunning in it, but the wear was too much for comfort.

   " Princess, what exactly will this business be?" Ropes asked the Alicorn.

   " You will call me Luna from here on out, and the business is simple tasks of trust and formal agreements. We will begin with trust Ropes. Come into the bathroom." Ropes obliged with Luna and his heart nearly stopped at what he saw. Luna without anything on, though that was normal, but laying in a tub of water.

   " Uhh... I .. mm, what?" Ropes barely managed to spit that out. Real smooth, he thought, real smooth.

   " Are to wash me Ropes with care or your execution will be tomorrow. Do you understand?"

   " Yes! With what though?"

   " Your hooves, what else?"

   " Uhhh... okay".

  Ropes got to work lathering soap into Luna's mane, gently stroking it and rinsing it till he could no longer grip it properly. He continued to her back and chest, softly scrubbing and kneading the soap in.

  " Stay there and rub please. My back needs to be massaged soon or I will lock up". Ropes rubbed firmly but gently when something caught his ear, or more over nipping his ear. Luna had begun to nick and nip at Ropes' ear and was breathing awkwardly. Ropes stopped began to wash Luna's hoofs and legs. With the deed done, he began to dry off when Luna's voice caught him.

  " You forgot something" Luna said, rising out of the water and giving her flanks a shake. Ropes nearly doubled over when he saw her mare hood displayed in front of him. Ropes edged toward the tub again and began to lather the soap into the flanks. A small moan escaped from Luna's lips, as Ropes moved to wash her nether regions.

   Then Ropes felt lips against his, throwing him off a bit. Luna held Ropes in a kiss that both shared joy in. Breaking away, and with the task done. Ropes quickly exited the room, via stage left, the bathroom. His head still spinning at what just happened, Luna's voice pierced the silence.

  " Ropes, I require your assistance with something". Ropes headed back to the main bedroom and caught his breath before it was taken. Laid upon the bed was Luna, on her back.

  " You called?".

  " Yes, I need to test you for your ability to follow orders. Ropes, I need you lay with me". Ropes walked over and laid down. He thought she was going to say something else when Luna's magic quickly immobilized him. Luna giggled with excitement and began to go to work on Ropes.

  Using her magic, she quickly stripped him of any articles of clothing and holsters he had on. She then rolled on top of Ropes and stopped immobilizing him.

   " Ever wonder what immortals feel like Ropes? Well now you will experience it". She began to rub up and down along Ropes, moaning and panting. Ropes couldn't think straight anymore, he was in too much pleasure to try. He began to harden, much to Luna's enjoyment as she became wet in her mare hood.

   Luna shoved her parts onto Ropes, sliding smoothly down his shaft, screaming with pleasure. Slowly, Luna began to pump up and down along Ropes, taking every inch she could. Ropes couldn't believe what was happening to him. Luna felt good inside, he couldn't deny that.

  Using his strength, he turned Luna on her side and went behind her. Shoving with all of his might, he entered again and massaged her flank. He couldn't hold out for much longer, and hoped that Luna would be close to breaking. Ropes picked up the pace, slamming with more force, bringing Luna into climax.

   Luna wrapped tight around him, milking every last drop of his essence from him as she left him out of breath and tired.

  " You be lead tomorrow to the locations of the other Elements tomorrow, as well as gain markings for your maps. Till then Ropes, goodnight".

But I just got here

     The Salt Lick Tavern was busy tonight, very busy for a island in the middle of the North-Eastern Equestrian Sea. Many mugs of alcoholic cider and rum were displayed in the forms ranging from small marks on fur or clothing to the not so subtle " smeared all over my drunken face" look that many stallions wore tonight.

    " Ay, lads we've got us ah old-chap walking in, ha ha ha. Lets give him a 'warm welcome' shall we?", shouted a grey stallion near the door entrance. And as if on cue, walking in a slow limp, was this old stallion. He wore a hat of something familiar to the group, but as drunk and joyful as they were they continued on the old-timer.

   " Oi lookie here lads, guy thinks he's a cap'in now.", the same stallion shouted to the bar. He placed his hoof on the back of the stallion, and was surprised at the speed of the senior. Placing his hind hoof below the grey drunk, he shot up and kicked the colt through a nearby table. Removing his cloak, his flanks revealed twin blades with a skull in-between them.

   Taverns never got as quiet as this one now.

   " Next colt who does that will be hung from the mast of my ship", shouted the brown coated stallion.

   " Sir, Captain Ropes isn't it, would you mind NOT killing my drinkers?", the bartender, Golden Taste, said bluntly.

   " Depends, how many mares will you force on me, or do I get to pick this time?"

   " Why don't you ask them yourself, Lover-boy? You got balls now use them"

   " But I haven't shared my tale with you lads, or is me enough to make your pride and courage shrink to the size of a musket ball?"

   " Oi! Alright, lets have a'listen then", Golden said with a smirk on his face.
