Shanghai'd!

by Sorcerer
Spike and Fluttershy accidentally end up on a pirate ship and embark a high-seas adventure to the mysterious Blacklands! Join Spike as he and his friends discover uncharted lands and go on a quest to destroy an ancient dark power before it awakens!

Wandering off to a nearby river port after an argument with Twilight, Spike begins to question his own life as he sits on the river's edge. Fluttershy then appears close by as Spike ponders, admitting to tailing him all the way from Twilight's house in an attempt to bring him back. He confesses to Fluttershy that he wishes to have more adventure and meaning in his life than stacking books, and Fluttershy encourages him to make a change to better himself. However, to Spike's surprise, a mysterious thief becomes the catalyst for such a change. In a shocking and sudden turn of events, Spike and Fluttershy end up recruits on a pirate ship headed to the Blacklands, a continent on the other side of a great ocean. The two are dumbfounded to find the captain is a thunder dragon by the name of Draven Jaggedtooth. Draven recognizes the young fire dragon, and in private reveals to him a stunning truth and a great journey to partake in. It's just what Spike's been looking for.

More than anypony will ever know will be revealed, and the mysteries, nations, and tribes of the Blacklands ahead shall be explored in this seaworthy-series! Adventure awaits!

I hope you're all as excited as I am! This tale is far from over!
