15:30hrs by UN Selena's clocks

Docked at harbour. Party cancelled at last second. Execution declared for treason.

Once the ordeal was over, Marcus walked over to his clothes rack and pulled off a black pair of trousers, a white polo shirt and a black blazer with a red tie. While he was getting ready for the party he had left Luna on his bed to allow her time to recover. Her injury had damaged her wing joint slightly and Marcus just realigned it. The morphine was now taking its effect as Marcus feared. He didn't know how it would affect her.

"Feeling alright?" He asked as he buttoned the last button on his polo shirt. Luna nodded. "Nothing feel out of the normal. Morphine can have some nasty side effects."

"Side effects? Like what exactly?" She asked getting slightly scared that the painkiller she just took has side effects.

"It depends on the individual. The less common effects are loss in sexual ability, irregular menstrual cycles and list goes on." Marcus said watching Luna's face drop into half surprised and half playful gaze.

"Loss of sexual ability? Well I'll see about that." Luna said in a playful manner as she slowly got off the bed. She wanted to see how Marcus would react. So far all she got was a raised eyebrow. "So morphine will reduce my sexual ability?" She took another step forward and half lidded gaze. She tried to remain in a fake sexual way, so far she was going well. But she didn't want to over do it. When she finally got close enough to Marcus, she noticed that he wasn't bothered by her actions. However she had no more trick on her hoof.

"Luna, I suggest you stop. I'm still a married man. I will betray the vow I made on my wedding day." Marcus said looking directly into Luna's eyes.

"Do you not like me then Weston?" Luna teased as she purposely flanked Marcus. She controlled her tail so she could gently lift Marcus's head with a gentle push. He still didn't seemed to be falling. "Can't a mare have fun?"

"I'm still bounded by code Luna. I will not break that code of honour I've pledged to my wife." Marcus said and mentally sighed when Luna dropped the act. She looked impressed.

"I'm impressed. Most stallions would usually. You know fall it." She said but then realised she felt awkward after saying that.

"And you would know that how exactly? Oh don't tell me Princess." Marcus said playfully as he loaded a full magazine into his M9 and then put the hostler just under his left arm. He then checked that the safety cache was on and then put the handgun in the holster followed by putting the Blazer. "Before you ask, no I don't plan on using the weapon. Everyone knows that I carry a weapon around at all times. Plus I have a bad vibe." Luna was curiously watching the weapon.

"Yet, you promised that you shall not kill." She said.

"Who said I'll kill the target with the weapon? I'll injure them with it, but not kill. When I make a promise, I keep that promise. I assure you this though Luna. If the target is indeed a threat and they are aboard my ship, they will be dealt with by my customs. This is my ship and my duty is to protect those who are aboard her." Marcus said walking to the door. "So are coming or you just going to sit there looking pretty for no reason?"

"But you still won't kill them right?" Luna asked while she walked to the door then an idea popped into her mind. "I want to play a prank on my sister. Can you help me with that." Marcus didn't like where this was going, but he could use this bit of laughter.

"Ok then what's the idea? Please don't be a bucket of ice cold water on top of a partially opened door." He said. But was shocked when Luna shook her head. "No? Then what is it?" This caused Luna to shuffle uncomfortable but assured herself.

"We are going to pretend that we... Erm you know?" Luna said hoping that Marcus understood where she was doing with this. He did, but he just shook his head to tease her.

"I do believe I'm not on the same tracks, please inform me of your plan to prank your sister." Marcus said mentally chuckling at how Luna just sat there wide eyed in disbelieve. He knew perfectly want she was on about, but he wanted to have a little fun himself before the big prank. "I'm joking Luna. I know what your on about. To be honest I didn't think you would be thinking of this sort of thing."

"So you'll go along with it? I just want to see my sisters reaction." Luna said and got a nod of Marcus. He had a vague guess of what Celestia may do to him.

"If you want make look slightly realistic, you'll need to look like your sweating and your mane and tail need to be all over the place." Marcus said before he realised what he just said.

"And how do you know this? Do you and your wi..." Luna was about to say before being silenced by Marcus's hand.

"And you don't need to know what me and my wife did behind closed doors. Ok? Do you wish for your sister to believe that is prank is real? Then go with it." Marcus said. Luna nodded. Marcus then started to fluff out her mane and attempted to make it look messy. "How good are you at acting?"

"I'm very good, I've actually managed to act drunk and Celestia thought I was drunk." Luna said with a matter of fact tone. "However I don't think I can act like we've you know? Because I've never had it before. So I have  nothing to relate it to." Marcus thought about weather it would work or not.

"Act like your hind legs are like jelly." He said and got a raised eyebrow in return. "Do you want to fool your sister or not?" Luna nodded. Before they walked out the door, Marcus shut the light off and then when they stepped out the room he shut the bulkhead door, followed by twisted the lock to engage the locking mechanism.

* * *

Luna's mane caught the attention of Marcus's men with ease, each one that walked passed would jump back a step before commenting Luna's mane, before she then told them she was going to prank her sister. Finding Celestia was easier then expected, but the her reaction was not what Marcus expected. In fact it was the opposite. Because of being over protective like Marcus thought she'll be. She actually looked at them with a smug grin before disappearing somewhere by the rear cannon, which was off limits in-till he gave his speech. Falling for the trick Luna and Marcus followed her around to the stern of the ship. What he saw made him face-palm at the pun Celestia was implying. Luna on the other hand didn't get why her sister was wearing a saddle.

"Well Marcus aren't you going to mount me? This is a human custom, no?" Celestia said trying her best not to laugh. Marcus just stood there unamused, while Luna was practically in tears on the floor laughing like a mad mare.

"Celestia what are you doing? Take it off, your going to embarrass yourself." Marcus said trying to get Luna back up. "I'm surprised you managed to the saddle on. But tell me this. If Equines are the dominant species of this land. Then why do you need saddles?" Celestia looked stumped.

"Perhaps it just makes them feel sexier." Aleksey said as he came round the other side of the stern. He continued to closer. Once he joined the small group he noticed Celestia blush slightly.

"Aleksey could you get that off her, before I start the announcements." Marcus said before he turned around and began to start heading towards the bow of his ship. Aleksey turned his attention back to Celestia and folded his arms.

"May I ask, what were you hoping to achieve by wearing a saddle?" He asked just as Marcus turned in front of the forward cannons. "Please don't tell me, you were expecting him to actually climb onto the saddle. You were weren't you?" Celestia nodded.

"Why? What's wrong with him?" She asked.

"I don't know the full story, but Marcus used to ride horses when he was around twelve years old. It was when he was fifth-teen, he was thrown of his horse and came close to breaking his spine. Since then he has never recovered and can never bring back the courage the climb into a saddle." Aleksey said. Luna stopped laughing and got up slowly. All the laughing had weakened her slightly.

"What? That's horrible." Luna exclaimed.

"Back on Earth, horses aren't the most intelligent of creatures. So I wouldn't be too surprised. I do feel sorry for him though. He has had to take special tablets to help restrengthen his spine. His fine now, but he could of been paralysed." Aleksey said realising his folded arms.

"Oh, I didn't know Marcus had a fear of riding. Shame. After all the trouble I went through to get it on." Celestia said before she had an idea. "Aleksey would you mind just getting into the saddle? Please, I don't want this moment to be wasted." Aleksey looked at her shocked.

"That's a little low, even for you. Don't get me wrong your a great and powerful mare, but wearing a saddle when your species are the intelligent ones, that raises questions." Aleksey said, which caused Luna to burst out in laughter in laughter. Said laughter attracted two of Marcus's Shadow team members.

"Oh it's you, Sir. We thought some of the sailors snuck back here. Never mind us, we will just continue our patrol." One of them said.

"Before you do go. State your names. Please." Aleksey ordered. Celestia and Luna watched as they both formed into one rank without asking a question. One stepped forward and stomped his foot.

"Leon Rhys, sir. I operate the British L115A3 sniper. One of the British-men in the shadow team." Rhys said before saluting then stepping back followed by a stomp. Next was the other man.

"Boleslav, sir. I operate the Dragunov SVD-12. One of the Russians in the shadow team." Boleslav said, repeating what Leon did. They both were dismissed and began to walk off, leaving Aleksey, Celestia and Luna alone.

"Give her a nice ride will you, sir!" Leon said before they both ran around the remaining part of the stern as fast as they were trained. Aleksey shook his head before he turned back to face Celestia, who was now blushing furiously. Luna was trying her best not to hurts back into her laughing fit.

"Fine, but only because I want to surprise that bastard." Aleksey said while he looked for the stirrups. Once he did he climbed up like a pro. Luna looked at him surprise. "What? I quote this 'I don't want this moment to go to waste' so then Celestia I'm i too heavy?" Celestia merely shook her head.

"No, but you best hold on then if you want me to gallop." She said before she reared up before launching into a full gallop in pursuit of the two men. Which didn't take long, they were already half way to the ships bow. Celestia focused a little bit more while she increased her speed, Aleksey on the other hand was holding on with one hand. When they galloped past Twilight and friends, he watched their reaction before he chuckled. He noticed that Celestia was slowly getting slower, so he leaned forward so that her ear was right by his face.

"Come on Tia, you can do it. Just a little more!" Aleksey encouraged hoping that it work. Celestia puffed a little before galloping as fast as she could go. The two shadow members noticed them gaining and picked up their pace before throwing a table in the way. Celestia just jumped over that with ease and she landed with two loud clanks. They turned the bend on the port side of the ships bow and ran past Shining Armour and Princess Cadence. Just ahead they saw Marcus half way up the hull of the ship with Luna catching up to him. But Celestia watched Marcus effortlessly catch his two men, before she slid to a grinding halt then rearing up and whinnied. The crowd behind her clapped, when she turned around she noticed it was Twilight and her friends.

"One thing for certain Tia, you know how to make an entrance. And what did you two do to her?" Marcus said while letting his two men go.

"Nothing, sir. We just complimented Aleksey, when he mounted the saddle on Celestia's back. Which I applaud you ma'am, for a princess you can move." Leon said. That was enough. Luna was back on the floor laughing. "What wrong with her."

"The word mounted, seems to be the cause of it all." Aleksey said as he carefully dismounted off the saddle and Celestia. Once he did, he loosened the straps holding the saddle to Celestia before undoing them, followed by taking it off completely. "Well there you go, you asked to be ridden, so you've been ridden. Although you may need to lay off whatever your eating. It's effecting your stamina. Water is down in the mess hall if you need some." Aleksey was stopped by Shining. "Greetings comrade, what can I do for you?"

"Aleksey, your a natural. Tell me. How'd you managed to hold on with one hand?" Celestia asked, once more getting Aleksey's attention.

"My dear friend Aleksey, back in his youth, used to live on a ranch. Which trained horses. So that's why he knows what to do when comes to the saddle." Marcus said brushing off some of Celestia fur that somehow got onto his blazer. "Mrs Cadence would you mind helping us get the food stands set up in the correct arrangements. I'll need to do my announcement at half seven and it's now quarter past. And you two are the sniper-men? Good, get your weapons and climb those two cranes and watch the party. Stay in radio contact." Marcus located a table out of place then pushed it into place following the diagram he set up earlier. Aleksey then began to assist.

* * * *

With all them helping at once, the ships deck was ready for the party in precisely five minutes. They could already see the large crowd of the crew walking towards the stern. Since there was more room to form up. Marcus had alright prepared the speech. Now he counted the mares and the one stallion aboard the ship. Pinkie Pie was still missing. 'I thought Miss Sparkle said there was six elements of harmony, where is Miss Pie then?' Never minded it for too long, he still arrange the quests to the side of the platoon. Who fall silent.

"Good evening Gents and Ladies! We are gathered here tonight to symbolise, yet another victorious voyage! And to celebrate our success. I have decided to throw a party. Like always. However this year we have very special guests. These guests you may have already meet and talked to today. Those of you who haven't. I'm going to introduce you to them. Please welcome aboard Princess Celestia, Princess Luna and Princess Cadence." Marcus said in a perfect army drill tone. The crew applauded before a hand gesture for them to be quiet was signalled. "And to finish off, I welcome aboard: Miss Twilight Sparkle, Miss RainbowDash, Miss Rarity, Miss Applejack, Miss Fluttershy, Miss Pinkamena Diane Pie, who isn't here as of yet, and finally Mr Shining Armour." With another clap the mentioned ponies walked towards Marcus in an organised manner before they stopped. Turning so they faced the crew before they waved.

As if it was planned the rear cannon somehow fired party streamers from each barrel, then middle one clicked and clanked while the barrel lifted a full 45° before firing once more. But what confused everyone was the fact that the cannon fired nothing but a spinning pink Sphere that was hovering just 10inches away from the barrel. Without warning it stopped. It was a pink pony, with a messed Darker pink mane and tail. It was similar to AppleJack in terms with it didn't have a horn or wings. Eventually it landed.

"Pinkie!" The five other elements exclaimed in sync as they all hugged one another. Marcus and his entire crew all looked at the barrel of the cannon before looking at pinkie.

"Sir, we aren't drunk are we? Or did we see that mare shoot herself out of that barrel." Said one of crew members.

"If I may add comrade. Isn't it impossible for her to squeeze through that 8inch diameter barrel. It's only designed to fire the shells that are 8inches." Said one of the four remaining members of the shadow team as two of them were on sniper duty. Marcus gave the gesture for him to come on the makeshift stage to introduce himself.

"I'll now introduce the guests to my special forces team. If you have a problem with guests, speak to these guys and then they'll speak to me. Same to you Princesses, if a problem occurs speak to these guys who I'll introduce to you know. Then they will pass it up to me." Marcus said getting nods off all of them. One of the Shadow members stepped forward, and slow marched to Marcus. He halted followed with a salute before about turning.

"My name is Dmitriy. I'm one of two of the Russian personal in the shadow team. My weapon of choice is the AK-12, with moderation to shoot 7.62mm round. I'm a rifleman in the squad. It is my duty, to protect the rest. However, we all play a vital. We are a team." Dmitriy said before marching back into his place. One more stepped forward and repeated the process. Celestia was impressed with how they executed each movement efficienctly. But she whispered into Marcus's ear to halt him. Marcus did exactly that.

"May I ask you question sailor?" Celestia asked him.

"Ask me anything, ma'am." The shadow member said standing tall and proud.

"What is the purpose of this introduction?" Celestia said asking one last question.

"It's called a ice-breaker, ma'am. The purpose of it is to introduce yourself with confidence, ma'am. Any more question you'll like to ask, ma'am?" He asked, but this irked Shining a little. The Shadow member noticed this from the corner of his eye.

"Thanks, no I have no more questions. You may continue your ice-breaker." Celestia said stepping a few paces back, so the shadow member could step forward and he did followed with his about turn.

"My name is Aiden Arthur. I'm one of two of the British-men in the shadow team. My weapon of choice is the British L85A2. Like Dmitry, I'm the rifleman and demolition man." Aiden said then repeated the process that Dmitry did.

"Ok, let's get this over with, the last remaining two, front and centre!" Marcus ordered. As sharp as possible the two remaining members marched in sync, halting in sync, and saluted in sync. One stepped forward.

"My name is Rafael Cayden, my weapon of choice is M32 MGL. I'm the explosive expert in the squad, it is my job to remove any obstacle that stands in our way." Rafael said. Now the last man stepped forward.

"Frank Scott is My name, and my weapon of choice is the M4A1, I'm one of the Americans in the squad, the other is Aiden, and just like Aiden over there. I'm the rifleman. And my duty is just the same, to protect." Frank said. Then they marched back. Marcus stepped forward.

"Alright boys and girls, enjoy tonight, and have fun. Platoon dismissed!" He said and watched as his entire crew did a right turn in sync before doing a three paced march before dispersing in all directions. But Frank walked to Marcus as Celestia, Luna and Shining Armour just joined him.

"Sir, may I respectfully ask where Leon and Boleslav are." Frank asked.

"They are both on sniper duty tonight, they are also testing prototype scopes which scan the mind of the target while giving personal info." Marcus said. The he turned to the Princesses. "Crime does happen here right? This place can't be all peaceful." To his surprise Luna nodded.

"Equestria has fallen under darkness. Ponies are committing crimes. Breaking into each other's houses, assualt one another and..." Celestia said stopping herself on the last word. However her attention was caught by a beep. It was Marcus's small radio.

"Marcus do you read, it's Leon. I have a fix on a stallion coming to the harbour. He is in full gallop. Scope his saying he is a wanted fugitive. Hold on it's coming with what he is thinking... He is after Miss Sparkle, he wants to molest her, sir. Permission to fire." Leon said. Celestia gasped. Marcus looked at Shining then Twilight. She heard all of it and was now by Aleksey, who just handed his unloaded AK-12, she was staying as close to him as possible without getting in his way. The other sailors were about to assist, but were gesture to act like nothing was out the norm.

"Negative, hold fire! Switch weapon ready to fire, but what for my signal. Make sure its a rubber round first. I want this bastard alive." Marcus said as he unholstered his M9 from under his right arm, he pulled the working parts to the rear. He then pointed to Shining Armour. "Come with me. I'll show you how we punish those that sin against the innocent. Your sister is at risk." With it said Marcus and Shining began to casually began walking to the were the staircase allowed people to get on and off the ship.

"Why are you doing this? I mean Twilight is my sister, so it's my job to protect her." Shining asked slightly concerned.

"Because it'll look bad on me, if your sister was molested aboard my ship I didn't do anything. Look, you may look at me and hate me. But no one will bring harm to the Princesses and the elements on our watch." Marcus said halting the both them and gestures to crouch down and use the Ships belt guards as cover. "Leon, you clear to fire when he steps hoof on the ship." His radio beeped quietly this time since he lowered the volume.

"Target is at walking pace, sir. Stallion's fur colour is mud brown, he has no mark on his flank. Ok, he is walking up the boardwalk. Disgusting bastard! Sir, permission to fire." Leon said. Shining knew what was going on, he stood up but only got pulled back down by Marcus.

"Permission granted fire through his tail hot him where it hurts, me and Shining Armour will arrest the bastard and interrogate him." Marcus said granting the fire order.

"Firing in. 3...2...1. Shot fired." Leon said before he pulled the trigger back. A loud bang followed by a scream signalled Marcus and Shining to sprint the remaining distance on the ship's belt.

* * *

Moments later Marcus and Shining Armour came round the corner to the ship's stern, with Marcus carrying the stallion over his left shoulder, his weapon still drawn in his right hand. Once they were in front of Celestia, Marcus threw him onto the deck with a loud thud. He then raised his left arm and gestured for Leon to fire. The shot came. It ripped though the stallion's thigh with ease.

"Who is your contact!" Marcus shouted down his ear before pulling the ear. The stallion remained silent, and just in time one of Marcus's many sailors had brought a bucket of ice water. Marcus grabbed the stallion's mane before forcing his head into the bucket, in-till only the muffled gargles could be heard. Marcus then pulled him back out. "Last chance who is you point of contact!" The stallion still remained quiet. This only aggravated Marcus more, so he shot him right in the leg joint. "Not a talker then? You will be if your family is in danger."

Dmitry, Aiden, Rafael and Frank placed a cream white unicorn mare with two foals clutching onto her legs. Shining looked at Marcus and then his sister. He remembered what Marcus said on the way back. 'She may not be mine to look after, but know this Shining I will defend the innocent with burning fire. Twilight has done nothing wrong, and anyone that tries to harm her. And her friends will be dealt with by his hand.' For once he understood why Marcus was like this. Loosing someone close to you is painful, but having a family member assaulted or raped and nothing was done about it. Would be enough to cause deep regret and anger.

"Marcus I see your motives, but do you have to bring his family into this?" Shining asked.

"I won't kill them Shining. I've made a vow to Luna that I shall not kill. I did so in the old English language that she once spoke in. Spilling innocent blood is long gone. But if he wishes to see his family unharmed, he will talk." Marcus said calming slightly as he turned his attention to Shining. Twilight however was still by Aleksey's leg and she was beginning to quiver. Not even her friends could calm her, Celestia was trying her best as well. Marcus continued his torture. He dunked the stallion's head back into the ice-water. He once more pulled him back out. "Who is your point of contact!" The stallion only just noticed that his family was sitting behind the ice-bucket. His wife clearly didn't look happy, but his kids were scared.

"Please let them go. It me you want not them." The stallion said.

"Yes, I know. I give you my word, they'll walk away from this ship unharmed. But if you don't tell me a why, you had this twisted intension to rape Miss Sparkle aboard my ship. Then you'll watch your family be tortured." Marcus said. He clicked his fingers and the two American shadow members came out the shadows behind the Stallion's wife and two foals. Their weapons drawn. "Your wife is a unicorn is she not? Hmm. Pity, somehow magic doesn't work aboard my ship. Otherwise she could of teleported herself off this ship. But since she can't."

Dmitry had just walked around the corner after being ordered to get a handheld circular saw. Said saw was handed to Marcus, while he walked over to the two Americans and on the word of command, the two Americans separated the foals while Dmitry held the mare steady. Marcus activated the battery powered handheld circular saw. The with all her might struggled to break free from the Russian's grip. The saw was know only a millimetre away when the stallion called for him to stop. Marcus turned the saw off. He noticed Shining had control of the stallion. He gave a nod.

"Please, I'll tell you. Just let them go!" The stallion pleaded. Marcus looked at Twilight. She was still shivering but was looking at him. Marcus waved her over. Twilight hesitated but Celestia began to walk towards him instead.

"Information first or no deal." Marcus said as he know unholstered the handgun again, then pushed it into unicorns cheek. "Why attempt to rape Miss Sparkle? And who is, your point of contact!" The mare glared at her husband. Marcus noticed this. "Didn't you know?" The mare shook her head. Now the stallion knew he was in trouble.

"Not only did you try to rape my sister, but you kept it hidden from your wife?" Shining said clearly disappointed.

"Why? Don't you love us anymore? Am I not good enough for you? So you go out and try to rape other mares." The mare said getting upset, Marcus released the push of the weapon and allowed her freedom. In return she just jumped into a hug while sobbing into Marcus shoulder. While this was happening he waved one of the crew over. Marcus told her, he needed to get to the bottom of this and she went over the to crew member with her foals following her.

"My word has been upheld. Your family will go home free of harm. However now it's your turn. Who is your point of contact? Who is it. I want a name, a address and who they work for." Marcus said, getting closer to the stallion. His weapon clearly showing and ready to fire.

"I don't know his name, all I know is he lives in Canterlot. But he is going to sweet apple acres about something." The stallion said. Marcus looked at AppleJack.

"Didn't you mention, your family runs a apple orchard? Is it by any chance the one this guy mentioned." Marcus asked her. AppleJack nodded. He turned back to the stallion. "Unfortunately it is now up to Celestia, Luna, Twilight and your wife, what happens to you."

"Kill him!" Twilight said out the blue and went to dive at the injured stallion, but Aleksey caught her in midair with his free arm, his AK pointing at the ground. She squirmed fiercely. The remaining other element bearers were shocked at their friends outburst. The cream mare tapped Marcus leg to get his attention. Once he turned around she handed him a elegant looking ring. She noticed his left hand had gold ring around the ring-finger.

"I see your already married. At least you've upheld your vow unlike him over there. If I had my choice, I'll rather see him suffer. But he is aboard your ship." She said and then began to walk off. But she stopped and looked behind to look at Marcus again. "Thanks." A crewman escorted her and her two foals off the ship. Marcus was left to look at Celestia and then Luna, who had just come over to see what she handed him.

"That's an expensive ring, most likely forged in Canterlot. I've only seen a few of them myself." Luna said getting a few looks in return. "What? Is it wrong to see which ring I like and dislike?" They all chuckled lightly expect for the stallion. Marcus looked at Celestia, he whispered sorry to her. Then he walked to the stallion and stood behind him. He took a deep breath before lifting the M9 to the back of the stallion's skull.

"For your crime against the crown, you have been declared guilty. Any objections from the crown?" Marcus asked. He looked at Celestia, Luna, Shining and now Cadence.

"Guilty."

"Guilty."

Shining looked at his younger sister once more. Then nodded. "Guilty."

"What do you plead Cadence?" Marcus asked. Cadence was about to answer but Twilight had already informed her what just happened."

"I plead him not guilty." The resulting answer caught a load of gasps. "Every deserves a second chance."

"Three to one. Your out voted Cadence." Marcus said. Celestia weakly nodded.

"I'm sorry Cadence, but Equertria is no longer the peaceful place we once knew. Something is causing them to rebel. But Marcus, I grant you permission for a say in this." She said. Marcus could she her eyes getting misty again.

"By the act of Ministry of Defence act of 2029. Any crime that is about to be committed is punishable by dishonourable discharge of the Armed Forces of any nation, followed by an immediate execution." Marcus said remembering when the act was introduced. "I declare you guilty." Not a second was longer was wasted. Marcus pulled the trigger of his M9. The round enter its victim's skull and killed him instantly. Blood oozed from the entry hole. Marcus was shaking and he didn't know why. But he looked at the element bearers then the three Princesses and Shining Armour. They were looking at him. All he did was took a deep breath. "Party dismissed." He then walked of up the belt of the ship. But all of sudden, thunder clapped from the now darkening sky. Rain was running out from the sea and getting closer to ship.
