Chapters Cutie Mark Crusaders: Treasure Hunters
Once upon a time, a long time ago, there was a powerful duo of brothers: Tirek and Scorpan. It was their nature to search through new lands and drain them all of their magic without a chance for mercy. One day, Scorpan went to the kingdom of Equestria and discovered the friendship the ponies shared. After learning of friendship himself, Scorpan confronted his brother.
“Well, Scorpan, what did you find in this Equestria,” Tirek asked.
“Tirek, you have to listen to me,” Scorpan said.
“Is it teeming with magic,” Tirek interrupted.
“Yes, it is,” Scorpan answered. “But...”
“And are there plenty of creatures with the magic,” Tirek interrupted again.
“TIREK, LISTEN TO ME,” Scorpan shouted.
There was a moment of silence.
“Is something the matter, brother,” Tirek asked.
“We have to stop,” Scorpan said. “Upon my scouting in Equestria, I've learned that what we're doing is wrong. This has to end before anyone else gets hurt.”
Tirek looked at his brother with a raised eyebrow. A second later, he laughed loudly. It was so loud, the cave shook a little.
“Oh, Scorpan, that's why I love you,” Tirek chuckled. “You always like to make your jokes.”
“It's no joke, Tirek,” Scorpan said. “Everything we're doing is wrong. And if we escalate, so will our problems.”
“Who told you that,” Tirek said. “Was it any of those ponies?”
“It doesn't matter who told me,” Scorpan said. “The point is, we need to stop. We've had enough.”
“Scorpan, these ponies are clouding your mind with nonsense and heresy,” Tirek said. “You and I, we msut consume the magic. It's in our nature. I did not take the power and wealth of the other lands just to stop because of the victims' opinion!”
“Tirek, I...” Scorpan said before noticing what Tirek just said. “What do you mean, 'wealth'?”
Realizing he said something wrong, Tirek sighed and confessed. “I've gotten greedy. With all the magic we've taken and devastation we caused, I realized that the lands we've drained had lots of treasure; gold and jewels and diamonds. I thought that since no one was around to enjoy them, I'd take them for myself.”
“So you've stolen the magic as well as the treasure of the lands we invaded,” Scorpan asked. “How come I haven't seen you with any of the treasure?”
“I've hired some Diamond Dogs to bury the treasure on our island,” Tirek said. He reached underneath a rock and pulled out a rolled-up piece of paper. “I made a map so that I could remember the burial site.” He placed it back inside.
“Tirek, this is insane,” Scorpan said placing his hand on his forehead. “I cannot live while we live on stolen magic and treasure! I'm begging you, brother. I love you. That's why I'm giving you this one chance to let it go and we can leave the Equines in peace.”
Tirek gave a cold, hard stare at his brother and growled. “No,” he said. He turned around and layed down. “As soon as I awaken, Equestria will be sponged.”
Guilty and desperate, Scorpan snuck out of the cave and entered the city of Canterlot. There, he came in the presence of the royal alicorn sisters, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna.
“Fair princesses, I have come with a warning,” Scorpan said.
“Who might we adress,” Princess Luna asked.
“I am Scorpan,” the visitor introdiced himself. “I come from a far-off land with my brother, Tirek. I hereby confess my sins in your presence. For many years, my brother and I traveled to new lands with only one goal: to consume every bit of magic in them and leave the inhabitants bitter desolate.”
The sound of it made the princesses gasp.
“This is horrible,” Princess Luna said. “I dost have one question: why is it though art telling us your reason for arrival?”
“Because I regret everything I have done,” Scorpan said. “I scouted Equestria to see the magic, but I befriended a unicorn who says he's a friend of yours: Star Swirl the Bearded.”
“I see,” Princess Celestia said. “And your encounter with him has made you seen the error of your ways.”
“Indeed,” Scorpan said. “The only problem was, my brother would not listen. Tirek's planning to attack tomorrow morning. He needs to be stopped.”
“You did the right thing to warn us, Scorpan,” Princess Celestia said. “We'll stop Tirek before he has the chance.”
“One more thing,” Scorpan said. He reached behind him and pulled out an envelope. “Before you sentence my brother, would you please give this to him?”
“Do you mind if we look inside,” Princess Luna asked.
“No, I have no problem with it,” Scorpan said. “Just make sure Tirek gets it. I must be leaving you and your kingdom in peace.”
As soon as Scorpan left, the royal sisters looked in the envelope and saw the contents. They looked at each other and placed the contents back in the envelope.
The next day, the alicorns confronted Tirek and casted a spell on him. He was then banished in the monstrous prison known as Tartarus. Tirek was skinny and weak and bound in chains. He looked and saw a large three-headed dog guarding the exit.
“Those fools,” Tirek growled to himself. “One day, I'll get out of here and they'll pay for what they've done. One thing I don't understand: how did they find me so easily?”
Suddenly, Tirek looked down and saw an envelope. With his very little strength, he opened it. Inside, he found his brother's necklace and a note. He read it and grew angrier with every word.
“My brother, Tirek,
I've got a confession. If you're wondering who told our hiding place to the princesses, it is I. I had to tell them. You were too obsessed with power to see the truth. The Equestrians are filled with magic, that much is true, but it's also filled with friendship and love. In this land, they have a saying 'friendship is magic'. If that's true, then when we take their magic, we take their friendship. I give you my necklace as a sign that I still love you. And as for your treasure, I have taken your map and sold it. If anyone finds your treasure, it will not be you. I'm sorry, brother. This hurts me more than it hurts you. I love you.
-Scorpan ”
In anger, Tirek's roar echoed through the chasm and caught the attention of other monsters.
“You're not sorry, 'brother',” Tirek growled. “Not yet, anyway.”
Hundreds of years later, Tirek escaped his imprisonment and took his revenge on the princesses who banished him. He even tricked a draconequus into assisting him until he became useless. And then, when he was on the brink of victory, the latest princess, Twilight Sparkle, rose up and banished Tirek back into Tartarus. The magic was restored, Twilight got her own castle as a reward, and the defeat of Tirek was known throughout all of Equestria. Of course, no pony knew about Tirek's Treasure until three little ponies found the map and as a result, almost destroy Equestria.
“Open sea
Open air
You can't see
A thing there
Open sea
Open sky
It can't mean
You can't try
There's adventure around every corner
With crashing waves and setting sails
Whenever you hear of a legend
Know that dead men tell no tales
Don't ignore the map that leads to destiny
If it can get your name known
But there's no guarantee for fame
You see, the future's not set in stone
Open sea
Open air
You can't see
A thing there
Open sea
Open sky
It can't mean
You can't try
This is a story of three fillies
Who search for their true purpose
They look for adventure and excitement
There's no other tale quite like this
FRIENDSHIPS, TWISTS, AND BETRAYAL
TRAITORS AND PIRATES HERE
YOU MAY BE ABLE TO FIND WONDER
BUT YOU'LL ALSO FIND SOME FEEEEEEEAAAAAAAR
OPEN SEA
OPEN AIR
YOU CAN'T SEE
A THING THERE
Open sea
Open sky
It can't mean
You can't... tryyyyyyyy ”
Cutie Mark Crusaders: Treasure Hunters
In present day, there were three little kids: Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, and Apple Bloom. Those three were different kinds of ponies, but they had one thing in common: they didn't have their Cutie Marks yet. A Cutie Mark is supposed to show you found your true passion and purpose. These three fillies were working together on finding their Cutie Marks. Together, they are the Cutie Mark Crusaders.
The beginning starts in Rarity's Boutique. There, Rarity looked and saw Scootaloo in her kitchen.
“Scootaloo,” Rarity asked. “What are you doing in my house?”
“Sweetie Belle let me in,” Scootaloo said.
“Yeah, I guessed that,” Rarity said. “What I mean is, why are you in my kitchen?”
“Well, last night, me, your sister, and Apple Bloom had an idea,” Scootaloo explained. “Before we became the Crusaders, we all had individual methods of finding out Cutie Marks. We're trading the jobs we all had. If an didn't work for one Crusader, it might work for another. Then, I remembered that Apple Bloom once tried to cook. I took that job.”
“Why do you have to use my oven,” Rarity asked. “Why not use your own?”
“My oven's not working,” Scootaloo said. “We're thinking of buying a new one.”
“Well, why not use Apple Bloom's,” Rarity asked.
“Applejack's using it for an upcoming fundraiser,” Scootaloo replied. “Don't worry, I promise we won't burn down your shop.”
“Wait, did you say, we,” Rarity asked.
Rarity looked and saw her sister and Applejack's sister trying to reach the shelves.
“Sweetie Belle, are you sure you should be doing this,” Rarity asked.
“Absolutely, sis,” Sweetie Belle answered.
“Don't mind me,” Apple Bloom said. “This didn't work for me. I'm just supervising.”
“I'm just a little nervous,” Rarity said. “After all, I've got a big order coming and you three always seem to break something.”
“Relax,” Apple Bloom said. “If anything goes wrong, we'll just handle it calmly and as a team.”
Suddenly, there was a big fire. Scootaloo's frying pan was holding a ball of fire.
“EVERY PONY FOR HERSELF,” Apple Bloom shouted before running outside.
Rarity quickly levitated a fire extinguisher and put out the fire. She looked in the pan and examined it. She had a confused look.
“Why would you want to cook ice cream,” Rarity asked.
“That is a story for another day,” Scootaloo answered.
“Just... why don't you go outside and... watch TV,” Rarity asked nervously.
“You can't watch TV outside,” Sweetie Belle said.
“DON'T SASS YOUR SISTER AND WATCH TV OUTSIDE,” Rarity shouted.
The Crusaders got out and walked down the street.
“Well, that's a check on the cooking category,” Apple Bloom said. “We're running of ideas faster than apples on Fruit Bat Season.”
“You'd think we'd find our destinies by now,” Sweetie Belle said. “Instead, we're finding other ponies who give complaints about us.”
“I know,” Scootaloo said. “And we've tried many ways to get our Cutie Marks. For example...
“We tried to go bowling
We tried martial arts
But our sides are still so blank
We still have aching hearts
A pony needs a cutie mark
But what could mine be
I've got to find my destiny
So when will my Cutie Mark come to me
We each tried writing books
Or being carpenters
But we couldn't get the attention
Of any customer
The Cutie Marks are waiting
But how long do we need
I've got to find my destiny
So when will my Cutie Mark come to me ”
“Don't get me started on selling fruit ,” Apple Bloom sang,
“You see, selling things are not a hoot
And when I tried, my sister gave me the boot
An Apple kid gets their Cutie Marks
It's in our family tree
I've got to find my destiny
So when will my Cutie Mark come to me
I cannot stand this pressure
My patience is at its peek
Whenever we go and try to search
There's always a little tweak
One day, we'll have our future
I promise as we speak
I've got to find my destiny
So when will my Cutie Mark come to me ”
“We've hearts strong as horses ,” Sweetie Belle sang,
“And nerves as hard as steel
One day, our dreams will come true
And our fantasies will be real
The Cutie Mark Crusaders
Will go through all things dangerous
We've got to find... ”
“Got to find... ” Applebloom sang.
“Our destiny ,” Scootaloo sang.
“Our destiny ,” they all sang,
“So when will our Cutie Marks...
When will our Cutie Marks...
So when will our Cutie Marks come to uuuuuus ”
Suddenly, the three heard laughted behind them. They looked and saw their rivals: Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon.
“You think you can find your Cutie Marks,” Diamond Tiara asked with a chuckle. “Please, if either of you were destined to have a Cutie Mark, you'd have had it by now. You'll always have blank flanks.”
Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon left the scene with their heads held high and throats laughing.
“I do not like them,” Scootaloo said. “They think they're two of the best ponies around, but if you ask me, they're two of the worst.”
“You took the words out of my mouth,” Apple Bloom said.
“Hear, hear,” Sweetie Belle agreed.
“Preaching to the choir,” an unfamiliar stallion said.
The Crusaders gasped in fright when they saw the grown stallion standing over them.
“Who are you,” Apple Bloom asked.
“Billy Bones,” the stallion answered. “I'm a traveling merchant from here to Saddle Arabia. I collect the rarest of the rare. I couldn't help but overhear your song.”
“Well, thanks,” Scootaloo said nervously. “We're the Cutie Mark Crusaders, dedicated to helping each other find our destinies.”
“Well, maybe I can help,” Billy Bones said. “Perhaps one of my merchandises can inspire you.” He reached into his bag and pulled out a hammer. “Ah, this little tool was used by the pony who was in charge of building Canterlot Castle. Perhaps you can be... Cutie Mark Crusaders: Carpenters.”
“Nah, we tried that,” Apple Bloom answered. “We ended up turning a table into something that not even a Changeling would like.”
“What else do you have,” Scootaloo asked.
“Maybe... this pocket-watch,” Billy Bones said pulling out a watch on a chain. “You can be Cutie Mark Crusaders: Train Conductors.”
“We already tried that,” Sweetie Belle said. “We ended up crashing a train. Instead of Cutie Marks, we got grounded.”
“Kids, you are pushing me against a wall here,” Billy Bones said. “Give me a moment.”
Billy Bones reached into his bag and dug through. Suddenly, Scootaloo pointed at a scroll sticking out of Billy Bones' back pocket. They saw a faint, red X through the back of the paper.
“What about that thing,” Sweetie Belle asked.
“Hmm,” Billy Bones asked. “What thing?”
“The scroll sticking out of your pants,” Scootaloo asked. “If I didn't know any better, I'd say it looked like a treasure map.”
At the sound of those words, Billy Bones widened his eyes and quickly spun around. He had a very nervous, not-so-subtle smile across his face.
“Hahaha,” Billy Bones chuckled nervously. “What treasure map? You kids and your wild imaginations.”
“But we saw a scroll out of your pants,” Apple Bloom asked. “Is that a treasure map or what?”
“Oh, that,” Billy Bones said even more nervously. “That's my...” He took a moment to think. “Grocery list?”
The Crusaders looked at him suspiciously.
“STOP PRESSURING ME,” Billy Bones shouted. “I SAY RANDOM STUFF WHEN I'M STRESSED! BROCOLLI! PAJAMAS! MONKEY! AAAAAHHHH!”
At that moment, Billy Bones grabbed his bag and ran away quick as a flash. But right before he vanished, the scroll in his back pocket fell to the floor. Sweetie Belle picked it up and read it. She gasped.
“It IS a treasure map,” Sweetie Belle said.
“Really,” Apple Bloom asked.
“Of course,” Sweetie Belle said. “See? There's an island. There's a red X. There's a list of instructions. And there's... a horned head with a beard?”
“That looks like that Tirek guy,” Apple Bloom said.
“You mean that jerk who tried to take our strengths a couple months back,” Scootaloo asked.
“No, she means the clown from Fillydelphia,” Sweetie Belle said sarcastically.
“What does he have to do with a treasure,” Scootaloo asked.
“I don't know,” Sweetie Belle answered. “There are markings here that's like another language.”
“You know who might understand it,” Apple Bloom asked. “Zecora! She might be able to tell us something about it.”
“Good idea,” Scootaloo said. “Let's pay her a visit.”
What they didn't know was that they were watched. Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon were eavesdropping on them from around the corner.
“Did you hear that, Silver Spoon,” Diamond Tiara asked. “They actually found a treasure map.”
“What if it's a fake,” Silver Spoon asked.
“It's not,” Diamond Tiara said. “Otherwise, that old guy wouldn't be so freaked out about it. It's definitely real and we're going to take it from them.”
What THEY didn't know what that they were being watched also. A giant, walking dog watched from the ground and went through the underground tunnels. They then approached the main Diamond Dogs, dogs who hunt for uncovered gems and hoard them for themselves.
“BOSS, BOSS,” the little Diamond Dog called to the leading dog.
“Ah, Fido,” Rover said. “What news from Ponyville?”
“Tirek's Treasure map is found,” Fido screamed. “Tirek's Treasure map is found!”
At that moment, Rover shouted, “DOGS, PACK UP AND FOLLOW THE PONIES WHO HAVE THE MAP! WE'RE TAKING WHAT OUR ANCESTORS BURIED!”
The Diamond Dogs seen all across the catacombs cheered in excitement.
Author's Note
I know I usually put in original songs, but with ponies looking for Cutie Marks such as these three and there being such a song about Cutie Marks out there, I cannot but resist putting it in. By the way, sorry for the delay, but I was caught up in school work. Hope you enjoyed it.
Cutie Mark Crusaders: Treasure Hunters
Deep in the Everfree Forest, there's a mystical zebra named Zecora. She may have a strange home, but she's just as friendly as any pony else. Zecora, the good friend of the Cutie Mark Crusaders, examined the map the Crusaders gave to her.
Cutie Mark Crusaders: Treasure Hunters
The next day, the Cutie Mark Crusaders arrived at the Canterlot Docks. They ventured through until they found Discord floating in midair getting a suntan.
“The seven seas are calling to us ,” Discord sang,And answer it, we will We don't know the dangers that lie ahead But we know it'll be a thrill When the sails drop and the wind blows fast And the neutical obstacles are coming clear We know only one thing that's a complete fact Adventure's near ”Adventure's near ,” the crew sang,Adventure's near Come a little closer because adventure's near The wind in your face Is coming to place We'll get past everything we fear Adventure's near ”
Discord gestured his arms toward the Crusaders and Daring Do. The music was still playing.
“I don't know why I'm doing this You've obviously lost your mind I'm surprised that you're faithful Honest and kind I can't wait for this to be over And I can get out of here But for now, I've got to say Adventure's near ”Adventure's near ,” the CMC sang,Adventure's near Come a little closer because adventure's near The wind in your face Is coming to place We'll get past everything we fear Adventure's near ”
Meanwhile, the Diamond Dogs and Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon—unaware of each other—sang along.
“The treasure map is within reach Just waiting to be grabbed ahold Then, we follow to the red X To the silver and the gold We let them do the dirty work We let them steer I can practically see the treasure Adventure's near ”ADVENTURE'S NEAR ,” everyone sang,ADVENTURE'S NEAR COME A LITTLE CLOSER BECAUSE ADVENTURE'S NEAR THE WIND IN YOUR FACE IS COMING TO PLACE WE'LL GET PAST EVERYTHING WE FEEEEAAAAR ”ADVENTURE'S... ” Discord sang.ADVENTURE'S... ” the crew sang.ADVENTURE'S... ” the CMC sang.ADVENTURE'S... ” the Diamond Dogs sang.ADVENTURE'S... ” Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon sang.ADVENTUUUUUUUUUUURE'S ,” everyone sang,NEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR ”
Cutie Mark Crusaders: Treasure Hunters
On the ship, the Cutie Mark Crusaders, Discord, and Daring Do were in the captain's cabin and assembled the map pieces. Discord materialized a glass of lemonade in his paw and took a sip of it.
“Beware, those who find this map For the trail you blaze will be a trap After the angry seas cause a loss Greed shall take the vessel of chaos After the touch of crimson burn Dark events of the past will have returned If unity doesn't triumph around the bend Then all of magic will reach its end ”
“It said all that,” Scootaloo asked.
Meanwhile, on the back of the boat, another wave splashed on the Diamond Dogs latched on.
“There's destiny around the corner You just have to see it through If you have the opportunity A mare's gotta do what a mare's gotta do Some ponies wouldn't be expected To understand the whole game To me It's destiny But to them, it's all the same Where is Equestriaaaaaaaa If there are just ponies around Where is my rooooooooooole If I'm just stuck underground Now, some ponies have it made In the warmth and the sunlight Meanwhile, the rest are under hoof Not even seeing the night Digging through the rocks and dirt Just for the rich soil Getting our true Credits due Despite all the toil Where is Equestriaaaaaaaa If there are just ponies around Where is my rooooooooooole If I'm just stuck underground ”
Meanwhile, Fido and Spot swiped some musical equipment and played an instrumental break underneath the hood. When the break was over, the two played their music louder.
“WHERE IS EQUESTRIAAAAAAAAAA IF THERE ARE JUT PONIES AROUND Where is my rooooooooooole If I'm just stuuuuuuck... undergrooooooouuuuuuuund ”
When the music ended softly, Discord was seen tearing up.
Cutie Mark Crusaders: Treasure Hunters
A few days later, down the deck, the Cutie Mark Crusaders walked down the stairs and saw Trixie over the stove. She was reading a cookbook and dropped ingredients in the pot. Soon, she noticed the Crusaders over the counter.
Cutie Mark Crusaders: Treasure Hunters
Later that night, Trixie came with a tray full of gruel and slid it in Diamond Tiara's cell.
“Where is your prize Where's your surprise Something's going on under your eyes Something's right under your nose It's so far, and yet, so close Keep tight what you all love Or they'll disappear to the stars above ”
The Diamond Dogs stepped off the stage keeping their blanket tight. They walked until they were behind the Cutie Mark Crusaders. As Spot and Fido took the map pieces from the Crusaders' capes, Rover continued singing.
“Come on and let your thing go Look out for yourself. Don't be a hero Don't rely on other ponies to help The only one you'll look out for should be yourself Something's right under your nose It's so far, and yet, so close Keep tight what you all love Or they'll disappear to the stars above ”
“Boss,” Spot whispered. “These kids only have two pieces. The third with the X is hidden somewhere else.”
“SOMETHING'S RIGHT UNDER YOUR NOSE IT'S SO FAR, AND YET, SO CLOSE KEEP TIGHT WHAT YOU ALL LOVE OR THEY'LL DISAPPEAR IN THE STAAAAAAAARS... ”
Suddenly, a loud boom was heard. The music ended and everyone saw a flash of light in the distance. Then, they noticed the tides rising higher. In a matter of seconds, Daring Do widened her eyes.
Author's Note
No need to worry. Discord will come back; but more on that later. Just... no negative comments, please.
Cutie Mark Crusaders: Treasure Hunters
In just a couple of days, the Cutie Mark Crusaders were tired of Daring Do putting them through many chores. So they hid themselves in a barrel full of fruit. But there's one problem...
“Lots of good wealth Is the best health When you're someone as low as I To change your role Take full control And give domination a try Friendship and love Had its day Now, I'll do things My own way Easy Street is down the road ”This will be interesting ,” Rover sang.It's down the road ,” Trixie sang.Hope we don't carry everything ,” Diamond Tiara sang.Down the road ,” Trixie sang,Where all the fat cats stand out Easy Street is down the road ”All right. If you say so ,” Silver Spoon sang.It's down the road ,” Trixie sang.I don't like where this is going to go ,” Fido sang.E.S. Is the place ,” Trixie sang,
Looking at the wall, Trixie saw a red blanket, a black feather hat, and a sword on the wall. She took them and dressed herself. The red blanket hung over her body, the black feather hat was on top of her head, and she levitated the sword with her magic.
“So many years So full of tears Embarrassed by those in the town Friendship's mistake Get up awake There's no friends anywhere around CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS AND DARING DO HAVE TAUGHT ME TO LOOK OUT JUST FOR YOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUU ”YEAH! Easy Street is down the road ,” Rover sang.We deserve the riches ,” Trixie sang.It's down the road ,” Fido sang.Fulfilling all our wishes ,” Trixie sang.Down the road ,” Spot sang.Everyone else was a speed bump ,” Trixie sang.Easy Street is down the road ,” Diamond Tiara sang.There's no time for emotion ,” Trixie sang.It's down the road ,” Silver Spoon sang.WHEN WE'RE ACROSS THE OCEAN ,” Trixie sang.DOWN THE ROAD ,” everyone sang,IS WHERE WE GO WHEN WE LEAVE THIS DUMP DOWN THE ROAD AFTER WE GET RID OF THESE CHUUUUUUUUUUUUUMPS DOWN THE ROAD IS WHERE WE'RE GOING TO BEEEEEEEEEEEEEE ”JUST CALL ME THE GREAT AND MUTINOUS TRIXIE ,” Trixie finished.
After the song, the Cutie Mark Crusaders jumped out of the barrel and ran out of the room. When the door closed, Trixie looked and saw the barrel on its side and raised her eyebrow.
Cutie Mark Crusaders: Treasure Hunters
In the jungle, the boat-wreck tossed Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, and Daring Do into a bunch of vines. They tried to move, but they were more tangled.
“Hello,” Apple Bloom cried. She was a half-mile from the others, but also tangled in vines. “Any pony there? I could use some help!”
“Apple Bloom,” Sweetie Belle shouted. “Apple Bloom! Where are you?!
An hour later, the little creatures carried the ponies that were all tied to sticks the creatures carried upside down.
A few minutes later, Bengunn showed the CMC and Daring Do a stream with a blue glow. The water was illuminating a mysterious shine.
Author's Note
Bengunn is an original character I created. He's based off of Ben in the original Treasure Island story. Hope you like him.
Cutie Mark Crusaders: Treasure Hunters
On the S.S. Gale, Trixie was working Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, the Diamond Dogs, and the rest of the pirates to death. They were all tired, but they dared not to stop.
Meanwhile, in the troll village, Daring Do showed her map pieces to Bengunn.
“Beware those who find this map For the trail you blaze will be a trap After the angry seas create a loss Greed shall take the vessel of chaos After the touch of crimson burn Dark events of the past will return If unity doesn’t triumph around the bend Then all of magic will reach its end ”
“Indeed,” Daring Do said. “We believe your dad may have written it.”
Meanwhile, the Cutie Mark Crusaders, Bengunn, and the trolls stopped running and took deep breaths.
“Are you sick and tired of being chickens Do you want to be something more Or are you scared of what might happen If you go on in this war They’ll tear you apart if you do nothing They’ll keelhaul if you stay Just come help in this fight And you might win this day HOORAAAAAAAYYYYY ”You have to rise ,” Apple Bloom sang,Above your fears Make your nightmares Disappear Princess Luna will be proud Of what you’ve done out loud And you will be surprised All you need to do is riiiiiiiiise ”You’ve been worried about bruises ,” Scootaloo sang,But we get them all the time It’s all worth it to know your limits When you go at your prime It’s not about what you can’t do It’s about what you can If you’re tired of running scared You need to take a stand YES, WE CAAAAAAAAAAN ”You have to rise ,” the Cutie Mark Crusaders sang,Above your fears Make your nightmares Disappear Princess Luna will be proud Of what you’ve done out loud And you will be surprised All you need to do is riiiiiiiiise ”YOU’RE RIGHT ,” Bengunn sang,WE’RE TIRED OF DOING NOTHING NO MORE MR. NO GUY GATHER UP YOUR SPINES AND NERVES AND WAVE YOUR DREAD GOOD-BYYYYYEEEEEEE ”
At that moment, the trolls picked up their weapons and armor and marched down the forest. The CMC and Bengunn followed them finishing their cheer.
“WE HAVE TO RISE ,” the CMC and Bengunn sang,ABOVE OUR FEARS MAKE OUR NIGHTMARES DISAPPEAR PRINCESS LUNA WILL BE PROUD OF WHAT WE’VE DONE OUT LOUD AND WE WILL BE SURPRIIIIIIIISED ALL WE NEED TO DO IS RIIIIIIIIIIIIIISE RIIIIIIIIIIIIIISE RISE RISE RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISE ”
Cutie Mark Crusaders: Treasure Hunters
Captain Trixie and her pirates carried Daring Do all tied up and followed a map.
Author's Note
I told you Discord would be back. Anyway, I'm also right when I tell you that the story's not over yet. There's a turning point in the next chapter. Get ready.
Cutie Mark Crusaders: Treasure Hunters
Later on, Daring Do pushed the pirates to one place. The Cutie Mark Crusaders gathered hooves full of treasure and stuffed them in their capes.
Cutie Mark Crusaders: Treasure Hunters
“You got any threes,” Silver Spoon asked looking at the cards in her hoof.If unity doesn’t triumph around the bend, then all of magic will reach its end ’,” Discord said. “Yeah, I don’t see how that’ll help.”Around the bend ,” Daring Do said. “’Round the bend . ‘Round the bend .” She the widened her eyes. “Riverbend! Everyone, we’ve got to get Tirek to the Leech River!”
Cutie Mark Crusaders: Treasure Hunters
As soon as they got back to the S.S. Gale, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon were very nervous.
Later that night, the pirates were complaining. At a separate cell, Tirek sat all by himself with thoughts full of rage. In another cell, Trixie was alone and thinking to herself.
A few minutes later, the Cutie Mark Crusaders woke up with a loud thud. They creeped to the upper deck and saw two enormous bags.
“WHAT IN DEAR CELESTIA’S NAME WERE YOU GIRLS THINKING,” Rarity shouted.
“I didn’t need wealth to last for years And I’m already happy with all I have here Do you really think it’s best with a luxury pool ”Come on. It’s pretty cool ,” Apple Bloom sang,But will it truly give you pleasure ,” Twilight sang,Listen! Friendship is treasure Just look, young fillies. Look around you And remember that you three have gone through So many obstacles. And the road was so rough But you already have your best stuff You stuck with it on this high adventure ”So, of course, friendship is treasure ,” Discord sang.If we’re being honest, I’ll be frank ,” Apple Bloom sang,I could do well some cash in the bank ”And I don’t need vaults of wealth ,” Scootaloo sang,To be awesome and stay in good health ”Despite all the shining grandeur ,” Sweetie Belle sang,We realized friendship is treasure ”Friendship is treasure ,” Discord sang.Friendship is treasure ,” Daring Do sang.Friendship is treasure ,” Bengunn sang.FRIENDSHIP IS TREASUUUUUUUURE ,” everyone sang,We may have been told That life needs gold But we don’t need jade To have our lives made And no amount of coral Can be above this moral A gem’s not our mother Nothing’s worth more than we are to each otheeeeeeer ”
