Problems in the Kitchen

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Jonathan Juryrig and Hull Gruffrey are the cooks of the Sea Marauders. They always wake up more or less at 8 AM, to make the breakfest for the crew. They encountered themselves at the corridor and decided to go downstairs and make the breakfest for everyone.

After some minutes searching the kitchen, thei finally found it. They went in, to saw a big lizard. Well, it was like a big lizard, with purple scales and green spikes on his back and head. The little dragon was on a chair, tippy-toe near a cabinet, trying to get a cookie from a cookie jar on it. He got the cookie quietly and got out of the chair. He widened his eyes when he saw the two pirates, one of them aiming him a pistol. The pirates didn't know if he knew what a pistol was, or if he can even talk.

"AAAAAAAAAHHH!! TWILIGHTWILIGHTWILIGHT THERE ARE MONSTERS IN THE CASTLE!!" the dragon screamed, running to the other doors, probably going up the stairs. Luckly, the pirates don't woke up, they were too tired due to the last battle.

The cooks tried to shoot it because the dragon scared them.

"What the bloody hell was that?" Jonathan said, puzzled.

"And I know?" replied Hull Gruffrey. "Well, let's start to make the breakfest. The captain and the others may be hungry when they wake up."

They began to make the breakfast. It delayed a little because they didn't know where the tools were, and where the ingredients were.

"Oh, I almost forget! Let's wash our hands before doing anything," Hull said.


Spike ran into Twilight's room. "TWILIGHTWILIGHTWIL-" the dragon has been stopped by a rage, messy maned Twilight Sparkle.

"WHAT IS IT, SPIKE? I was sleeping! Why you are screaming and running like this?" she said, with an angry glare at him.

"Twilighttherearemonstersinthekitchenstealingourfoodandtheytriedtokillmeand-"

"Spike, I can't understand you! Speak calmly and clear."

Spike cleared his throat, and them spoke, "Twilight, there are monsters in the kitchen trying to steal our food!"

Twilight giggled. "Spike, these guys aren't monsters. They are the Sea Marauders, human people that are homeless in Equestria," she said. "And certainly they are NOT stealing our food!"

"No? They aren't? Listen to their name, Twilight! 'Sea Marauders', 'MARAUDERS'!"

"I'm sure this is just a name, spike! I will proof to you they are not stealing our food."

Twilight trotted to the kitchen, Spike following her. She saw the two cooks using her food to cook something.

Twilight coughed. The two pirates looked at her. "Excuse-me, but what you are doing with my food?" she asked them.

"We... Were making the breakfest for you and our crew... You was sleeping, and we don't wanted to bother you. Then, we don't asked permission to use the kitchen. Sorry." Jonathan apologized.

"It's okay, but don't do things in this castle without my permission again, understood?"

They nodded their heads and continued to make the breakfest. Twilight and Spike saw on the long table, at the dining room 1 vanilla cake, cups filled with milk, a rum bottle, a apple juice bottle, carrots, chocolate cookies and some other fruits.

"You guys made all this?" Twilight asked.

"Yes, we are the cooks of the ship. We are still baking more 2 cakes, one of chocolate and one of vanilla. We are baking an apple pie, too."

"'Ship'? You have a ship?" Spike asked.

"Yes, the Stormstalker. We sleep there when we are sailing the seas."

"So... You are pirates?" Twilight said, a little uncomfortable.

"I thought you know that! Our name is 'Sea Marauders', we smell like rum, are dirty, use eye patch, peglegs, hooks, pistols, sabers, how we can't be pirates?"

"Yes... How..." she said, giggling mockly and going backwards. "Spike, you were right! These guys are pirates!" she whispered to Spike.

"I know!" he whispered.

It was 10 AM, all the other crew members woke up and was going downstairs. Hull helped them to reach the dining room, and some seconds later the long table was covered by pirates. They were talking with each other and laughing, drinking rum and becoming drunk. Twilight and Spike sat down for the breakfest. After some minutes of eating cakes and fruits, she spoke.

"So... If you are pirates, you raid cities, right?"

Everyone nodded their heads. "We raid cities, fuck whores, drink rum, pirates things," Cutlass said.

"Sir, I think the part of fucking whores won't be necessary..." a Marauder whispered to him.

"Oh, I apologize."

"Will you raid cities of Equestria?" she asked.

"Well, that depends. If we need food for our travel and if we want some gold, then yes. But we will not raid this village because you are being nice to us. We don't plunder any city in 3 months, because we are searching for the trasure, y'know."

"Treasure?"

"You don't know?"

"Well, I know the dragon's treasures..."

"Dragons? Hm, wait a second... Maybe in this world, the Lord Pyrate's Treasure doesn't exist..." he said, talking with himself on the last part.

"Where is these dragon's treasures, princess?" he continued.

"Every place where a dragon is. Normally in caverns."

Everyone looked to Spike.

"What?" he said.

"Well, with exception of Spike. He is a baby dragon," Twilight spoke. "So, why you don't stop plundering cities and try another way to get money?"

"We are searching for treasure."

"No, I mean, doing honestly works?"

Everyone laughed. "What? He heh, sorry princess, but we are pirates! Raiding and trasure hunting are our life! Heh, well, everything I can promise to you is that we are not going to raid any city of this land, ok?"

"Ok..." she said, afraid of these pirates raiding the griffons and killing dragons for the treasure.

"So... I need to speak to Ponyville about you. Can you come with me to the balcony after the breakfest?

"Sure. Men, follow Princess Twilt Spark to the balcony after the breakfest."

"Yyyeehs *hic* cah *hic* petaahhinnn!" a drunk sailor relied. Everyone laughed, and said they will follow the princess.


"Your highness," said a pegasus royal guard, running towards princess Celestia, panting.

"Yes?" she said.

"The guards of Fillydelphia's Royal Port reported about an ghost fog, and after the ghost fog a ghost galleon came and looted everything they  can near the port."

"Ghost fog? Hm, they reported something else?"

"Yes, they said there are skeletons of unknown creatures sailing in this galleon. The skeletons killed the guards and some civillians, kidnapped another civillians for unknown reasons."

"I will send a letter about this to Captain Shining Armor and to Princess Twilight Sparkle. Thank you."


"You fed the Phantom with the pony?" Dread Eye asked to Shoveltooth.

"No, captain. I have a better ideia for it."

"What's your idea?"

"My idea it's we use it for reading texts and documents."

"Excellent. Where is it?"

"Locked in the jail, in the 2nd floor of the ship."

"Good. I will talk with him. Continue navitgating to south."

"Yes captain!"

Dread Eye went to the jail. The stallion was quivering, afraid of what the skeletons were going to do with him.

"You, prisoner, what's your name?" Dread Eye asked to the yellow pony with black mane.

"I-its F-Flower Dus-Dust..."

"Okay, Flower Dust. You are now in charge of learning the texts and the map to me. BUT IF YOU BETRAY ME, OR TRY ME FOOL, YOU WILL BE A SKELETON FOREVER! Understood?"

"Y-yes!"

"Good. Now star-" Dread Eye was interrupted by Sublurker, "Captain! There is a pony ship trying to fight us!"

"Kill them! Don't let any survivors!"

There were a ship with the flag of Equestria, an Equestrian battleship. The two ships were side by side.

"FIRE!" Dread Eye shouted.

The 3 left cannons shooted on the ship, with two dozens of ponies in golden armor. The sleketons started to jump onto the pony ship, fighting some ponies. Unicorns started to blast magic the skeleton's ship, but it just absorbed the magic. The soldiers fought with spears, trying to stab the skeletons. One of the skeletons cut the horn of a unicorn, it started to scream like a filly.

An earth pony defended the stab of Nautilasher and took his spear, but the earth pony can't held it. The spear was made of lost souls and bones, without a handle. After some attempts to get the spear, the stallion gave up and stabbed Nautilasher with his pony spear. Nautilasher laughed. The spear was harmless to him. Nautilasher jumped on the pony, landing behind him. He quickly grabbed his skeleton spear and stuck it in the pony's head.

Fathom was thrown off the ship by an unicorn, which died with an axe in the skull. Dread Eye joined the battle, and was now battling with an pegasus. The pegasus tried to punch Dread Eye in the face, but his hoof was cut off by the sword of the skeleton captain. The pegasus fell on the ground, crying due to the pain. Liters of blood of the poor brave ponies was in the ground of their ship.

"We're done, skeletons! Go to Phantom hurry, this ship is sinking!" ordered Captain Dread Eye.

All the equine survivors were lacking a hoof or too injured to walk. They all drowned slowly, with the ship falling apart and going deep in the ocean.

But the skeletons missed a pegasus, and it flew away from the battle, without a forehoof. Dread Eye went again to the jails, with a map on his hook. He unlocked the jail to the prisoner get out of it.

"Now, read all this map and point the locations. Fathom will write in our language later, right, Fathom?"

"Yes captain, I just need this horse to translate the map, then I will write the name of the locations in our language." Fathom replied.

"Good. Flower Dust, you'll read those books too, and Fathom will write them again. Start with the map first."

"O-ok..." said the coward pony.

Dread Eye went outside, to the helm. After 40 minutes of reading and writing, Dread Eye went back to the jails and asked.

"So, Fathom, you finished the map?"

"Yes captain. I'm now translating a book of a more detailed geography of this region," Fathom replied.

"Good, let me see the map of this land," Dread said, taking the map from Fathom's hands.

"Good. We should go to Baltimare this night. Continue translating books of geography and history, we need to study this land more."

"Yes captain. There is also an Crystal Empire here," Fathom said, circling an area with his feather, "But this map is outdated, so it don't have this Crystal Empire."
