The Pirate Master

Three ships were sailing on the ocean that day. The Crusador, HMS Destroyer and the HMS Solar.

Rusty were currently watching the crew on the HMS Solar. He could remember yesterday the battle on the galleon ship. He was close to dying, and there were still one pirate master left. He let the surviving pirates become part of his crew, but he wouldn't let them use any weapons for now. He was still not convinced they could be trusted.

Rusty had planned they would sail to Manehattan, but since the ambush started, Rusty felt he was being watched by somepony that knew his every move he was going to take. That was why he was going to sail home to go tell Celestia about this. Rusty knew this last pirate master would do anything to prevent himself from getting killed. With the help of the Royal Navy of course, they can defeat the pirate master at last.

When Ponyville could be seen in the distance, Rusty noticed something. "What... is that?"

Fires and smoke could be seen all across the little town. The houses were destroyed and some ponies could be seen crying. "What happened here?" Rusty asked. Thinking back at what had happened, Rusty thought that maybe the pirate master had done this.

"The town... is destroyed. Who could have done this?" Cold Wind asked. He looked at Rusty and noticed fear across his face. "...Rusty?"

Rusty looked around the ship. He noticed several wrecked ships. "These are Ponyville ships. The sailors have fought brave against this enemy."

"What are your orders?" Cold Wind asked, waiting for an answer. Rusty didn't know what to answer, he didn't even know what to do know.

"..."

Rusty docked the ship near the destroyed docks. "This destruction... I have never seen anything like it."

A few ships had appeared. They belonged to the Royal Navy. They were probably going to check how destroyed Ponyville was.

Rusty went to a Royal Navy captain, asking him a few things. "Who do you think did this?"

"Well, according to the Ponyville scouts, we think we know who did this," the captain replied. "A unicorn named Darkness Blade, does that seem familiar to you?"

"No, not at all," Rusty replied. "Who is this pirate known as Darkness Blade?"

"He used to study magic and fighting at Canterlot. He left his studies after some years to become a pirate instead. That pony has become one of the most feared pirates."

'Wow, how did I miss this?' Rusty thought. "Even though he seems like a strong foe, he must be defeated."

"It is hard to defeat him. He has his own fleet. The shadow fleet is made of several galleons that used to be owned by the Royal Navy," the captain replied. "Captain Rusty, I recommend you to stay out of this."

"This... is my home, and he is going to pay for what he has done!" Rusty said.

"I'm sorry Rusty, but there is nothing I can do, these are orders from Celestia. Only the highest ranked captains are allowed to handle these things," the captain said. "But... I can tell you that we are planning to do an ambush on them, so don't worry about it."

On a secret lair, a pony was sitting in a chair, waiting for somepony to come. "Where is Yellow Gear?" Darkness Blade asked himself.

A pony came into the room, nervous. "I am afraid Yellow Gear has failed the ambush..."

"..."

"WHAT??!?"

Purple Vine gulped, hoping Darkness Blade wouldn't kill him because of the bad news. "He... got killed in battle."

"Captain Rusty is going to pay for the actions he has done... But I think he already has returned to Ponyville, hasn't he?" Darkness Blade asked.

"Umm... yes sir. The captain has returned to Ponyville. I suggest we attack them at night."

Darkness Blade calmed himself down, trying to think what to do with the situation. "Thanks... for the... information, Purple Vine... I have no reason to be angry at you..."

"Umm... sir?"

Darkness Blade got an devilish expression on his face. "Actually, I think I know what you can do in this... mission I thought you could do."

Darkness Blade changed his expression to serious. "Prepare the fleet," Darkness Blade ordered.

"Okay sir."

Later... in the night.

The Royal Navy had managed to gather a few ships that they could use in this ambush. "Because of the fog, this mission will work," a high rank captain said to the other captains.

"Ships in the distance," a captain said. A whole fleet could be seen in the horizon, coming out of the fog.

"Everypony, these are the plans. We sneak up from behind, coming out of the fog. The pirates won't know what hit them."
