Arr lets get that treasure

I sat in the Pony Vile library with the bearer of the elements, whom three had tried to attack me when they saw their friends. And now I held the purple one by her tail, looking over at her hoof work impressed she could free her friends of Discord’s work without me.

“Well, color me red…you know that phrase won’t work. Anyways, Sparkle pony I’m impressed at your work. You know, I could use a new first mate.” I said with a smile.

“I’d never work for a monster like….” The purple one began but I put a zipper on her mouth.

“Look purple, your teacher is a bitch, when I first got here, her sister and I bumped into each other because I had just been hit by something and didn’t know what was going on. And do you know the first thing they did beside yell at me in a language I didn’t know yet.” The Purple one glared at me. “They tried petrifying me because of how I look. And am actually a….. ‘fair’ fox. Just want some simple things and there in this order; one night to last all the time, I love the night time, to move on the sea navigating by the stars. Two, open Tartarus to see what in. I’m hoping for a mound of gold, but if it is just monsters then well, I’m pretty durable. Third make Equestria my own little pirate nation to war with the other country or just let thing go out of control.”

“Anyway I’m planning on turning your friend back to normal because.” I snap my fingers and three ponies with me change back to their old selves. “Fluttershy is my loyal crew member, isn’t that right navigator?”

“YES CAPTAIN!” Fluttershy says with a kind smile, “but why did you have to harm Applejack and Rarity?”

“Well I need to be convincing, I know Discord had a limit and I needed to see what would happen when that was broken. If he’d stay loyal, he would be alive right now.” I explained to my navigator. “See as he didn’t he walked the plank.”

“As he should for disobeying the captain.” She said with wider smile, much to the shock of her friends. “What he’s a nice fox when you know him.”

“Flutters he made you….” The orange one began.

“Make her fight dummies, as I taught her how to defend herself and her friend should a situation where I cannot help nor the elements are of use?” I say with a raised eyebrow. “Look I’m not a nice guy, but I’m not really evil, pre-say. Yes, Fat horse is stone and I’m using her sister's darker half to keep it night all the time, but didn’t kill anyone. I could have just killed you three and be done with it, but no, I didn’t. You know why, because I want a crew to travel with me, one more loyal than my former first mate.”

“So you want us to be your crew,” the blue one said in confusion.

“Aye, look, I’m not saying I’m not going to do evil, but well I would prefer allies more than enemies. Big White and Plump Blue are already on my shit list, but I don’t have a grudge on the rest of Equestria. Now I’m going to change things back… except for the sky, the night stays.” I said as the purple one finally dispels the zipper.

“You’re going to leave it night, but it’s going to freeze Equestria!” She yelled, “And the being in Tartarus will kill every pony!”

“I’ll deal with those when the time comes.” I say not really caring. “Come Flutters.”

“Yes Captain!” She replied running after me, before teleporting.

“Ah the sea.” I exclaimed as I walked up to the water. “Doesn’t it just spell adventure to all whom see it?”

“Yes, Foxy, but weren’t we going to open Tartarus?” Flutters asked unsure of me now.

“Yes, but I need to get my ship first.” I said pointing to an air ship. “I would prefer a boat, but as Tartarus is in the main land, we’ll need an airship. Sky pirates are all the rage these day’s anyhow.”

“Um, wouldn’t Rainbow be better suited for this…” She asked her timid side returning.

“She’s loyal to the Purple one. And as for your other friends; Rarity is too generous for my tastes, AppleJack is too honest, the pink ones too loud and the Purple one is too loyal to that Bitch Celestia.” I explained. “And before you ask, Celestia had manipulated many of you in your lives, how do you think all the elements ended up in one place, coincidence? She used lots of ponies for her own ends, being a strong believer of ‘the ends justify the means’. Example, she sent you and your friend to face a foe who in record had killed thousands of ponies before, and I’m not talking about Discord and me. Luna, in the early history of Equestria had Kill an invading griffin force by smashing a meteor on them and she didn’t even think twice about it. You and your friend were lucky she underestimated you all. Otherwise Pony Vile would be a crater.”

“And before you ask, or object. History is written by the winners. Have you heard of me or Discord outside of out dated fairytales, how about Luna. Those two like to keep their pasts shrouded, but with some new innovation by ponies, whom seem to be just as advanced as they were before with some minor improvments, they are starting to lose their edge on the media, though in a few years they may have got it again. They’ve changed history, sent ponies on high risk missions without telling them the risk. Did you know I once heard fatty say she lost a student in a mirror to another world while she was looking for The Book of the Dead? And she didn’t even weep for her student. The only one I’ve seen her weep for is Twilight. Or it may have been the thought that her sister was truly lost to her. I can’t be sure.”

“But then what about….”

“Old Pony tales about them saving the world. True but they lead armies and caused more needless deaths than me and discord. Basically it the evil you know or the one you don’t situation her. You know your princesses, and that your lives were reasonable good. With Me it’s an unknown for you fear me more.”I finished as we reached the docking area to the navel sky ship and stood in front of two frightened guards. “Flutters, would you.”

“Um, excuse me, but can we come aboard?” She said with a soft voice.

“No, now leave or we’ll be forced to arres…..” The guard couldn’t finish as I clamped my jaw in his head, crushing his brain. The pulping sound caused the other to piss herself and faint. Flutters caught her so she was alright. Hun, blood still tasted like copper, iron.

“Why did you….Kill….him…” Flutter said staring at me in shock.

“It was faster than breaking out of jail for a second time. Come let’s find the Captain for this vessel and take if for our own.” I said as we walked in. Fluttershy seemed a little less on the 'liking me' side, but she didn’t want to betray me, good as it made the next few kill less of a problem as she even joined in the kill as she took a sword to defend herself, putting the skill I forced her to learn to use. Anyone who worked with animals had to have put an animal down for mercy sake before. This was just for a different reason and she didn’t seem to like it.

As we entered the bridge we found the captain cowering in the corner with his men throwing down their weapons. I smiled as I told them what was going to happen and that they could stay for they could jump ship. To my surprise a few stayed.

“Aye, yea want to be part of my crew,” I said with a bit more flare. “Okay, then now tells me the name of this hear vessel and then go to battle stations. I’m sure the Royal air force will not like the idea of me taking one of their ships.”

“The Gumdrop sir,” The former Captain said before barking orders and I feel the ship start to leave the ground.

“Well that won’t do. Foxy the Pirate Captain can't fly around in a ship named Gumdrop.” I said taking seat thinking. “Hmm, she needs a fearsome name, one that will make others quake before we even attack.”

“There’s the story of The Octavius, an air ship that sailed north but never returned. Story says that the daughter of the captain received at latter from the captain dated the very day it lost contact 14 year ago pleading for her to send help before it was washed in blood.” One of the Sailors explained as she handed me a photo. Smiling I easily change the sky ship to make the one in the photo, and then freeze it over.

“Does, it have to be cold?” Fluttershy asked noticing the sudden drop in temperature.

“Didn’t mean to drop the temp inside as well.” I said raising it up a bit. “To the crew of The Octavius, set course for the gates of Tartarus.”

“But, Captain, the gates are off limits to…” a mare said before I lifted her with my magic and threw her out a window.

“Anyone else?” I asked before going over what might happen in the next few minutes. The Air Force might be at the gates already due to twilight, something I hoped would happen so I could test my ship and the improvement I put into it. My small crew was ready and knew the facts about battle already due to military training. And with fear in stilled I was sure they wouldn’t fail me.

==
I really hate it when I’m over look a fact or two. They stayed on the ship to crash it into a mountain near the gates. At least Flutters is still with me.

Looking over to flutters, who to save some of the traitorous crew from the mid air fall after I told her I’d be alright. Having an endoskeleton that was almost indestructible had its benefits. And re-growing, if damaged, costuming was a good thing too as I landed in a lake on some hard rocks. Great water log on top of losing my ship, I’m not a happy fox.

I walked out of the lake and looked over the gates and sure enough theirs an army their led by twilight and friends. Off in the distance I Canterlot on fire. Most likely Nightmare Moon going on a rampage, I could care less as I hated the city after being stuck in it for so long. And high above, I saw the wreckage of my ship. Not something you want a murderous pirate fox to see.

I walked over to where Flutters as she set the ponies she saved down and got to work. I ripped the head off one of them with my hook while slicing another in with my sword absorbing her magic. And you it to slash another pony in half with a magical blast, and chomping down on another’s head like it was a grape. Using the skull still stuck to my hook as a club I beat another still the skull break of and gouged the pony’s eyes out with my hook. They began to run, but I was faster, pouncing and kill each of the traitorous ponies.

It wasn’t long till I was covered in dripping blood was I walked past Flutters who was shacking in fear and had some blood on her. I cleaned her with my magic as I walked up to the gates. I smiled as I noticed the ponies that were stead fast a moment ago were not shaking in their armor. Only Twilight seemed to at least hold some confidence left.

“Move,” I say walking up to the living barrier and my prize.

“Why do you want to open the gates so much?” Twilight ask back.

“To get my cursed treasure back the two Royal pains in my tail sealed in there with the other creatures.” I said standing there; happily noticing my natural appearance still gave them instinctive fear. “You can end up like them who betrayed me or move and live out what is left of your life, your choice purple horse.”

She looked to Fluttershy who said, “Twilight, it might be best for every pony to back away from the gates right now.” I could hear her concern for her friends, which might be troublesome later if they did not join my side. At least it worked and her friend and the guards move and I can finally get my gold back.

“A thousand years of waiting and finally get my treasure back.” I said as I open the gates. Ignoring the pleading looks of the weakened and chained, I traveled to the depths of the great jail and wave to Cerberus while I was at it. Eventually, after tossing a ball for Cerberus to play with I found it, my treasures. After breaking the lock with the last of Discord’s power that I took, I whisked the gold away to a hidden cove I had spied from the air.

“With that done I just have to get a new ship.” I say walking out noticing some of the imprisoned had escaped. “Meh, not my problem.”

“K, purple butt, you can close it now. I’m done and now I’m going to go off and have some fun away from you ponies. Though if I see I may try to recruit you, kill you, or fuck with your minds. Though Flutters want to stay with them or come with me. You can visit if you don’t want come, but don’t tell them where I live, clear.” I tell them

“Yes, and I want to stay in Pony Vile, if it alright with you captain?” She said quietly.

“I just said you could.” I replied before running off at top speed. At which point I took only an hour to lose sight of them another three to get to the cove. Picking a spot to rest my head I felt asleep as it had been an eventful three days. Heh almost lost track of time with the moon out for so long.

To be Continued.
