//-------------------------------------------------------// A pirates life for me. -by TheDiegeofDiego- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Prologue - Vladicarus //-------------------------------------------------------// Prologue - Vladicarus Although during the fight that recently plagued against Alucard's ship. Another pirate laid back in another land. He sat on his ship, looking at his young daughter Jade who ran around. He smiled as she ran towards him. She jumps up and lands in his arms, he hugs her tightly. Petting her softly "Hey, Jade." he pets her. jade letting out a giggle as she jumps from him again. She picks up the plush that she got from him. It being a plushie of a pony knight, named 'snuggle knight' a plush Vlad kept close to him ever since his mother passed. jade ran around with her now plush, giggling as she chased a few of the crew members, the crew smiling and playing along with her, Vlad placed his boot against the stool he sat on. Smirking, "oh, jaded rum. what shall i do with you.." He watched his daughter carefully. he looked to his helmsmen, nodding as he took the wheel himself. beginning to sail, he called out to his crew "Full sail! let the wind take us!" the crew nodded as they let the sail go down fully, the wind picking the ship up in a quick wind. Jade giggling as she feels the wind flow against her mane. Vlad looked down at her, smiling as the ferret he owns runs onto his shoulder. he looks at the young ferret. Petting its chin softly. The crew began to sing Mary sea shanty. Vlad smiled "Whiskey Johnny. You boys love to sing that one!" he laughed softly, his crew cheering at they continue to sing. Eventually the sun began to set. And the birds left back to the nests that they rest inside. Vlad looked at his sleeping daughter. Snickering as she stirred softly. He looked back to the front of his boat. His ear perking up as he hears something step behind him, he gasped and looked back, only to be met with the butt of a gun. he groaned and fell to the ground. nose bleeding. The people who had harmed him look at his daughter, Snickering as they pick her sleeping body up, throwing the plushie down onto vlad and throwing her overboard, thinking she'd be nothing but an annoyance. She stays her normal outcold self, beginning to drift through the ocean. The people on the ship knocking out the crew one by one, stealing anything that lay aboard until there is nothing left. Hours pass, and Vlad groaned as he slowly got up. Holding his now sore head that had a slight tint of an ugly brown thanks to the dried blood mixing in with his green fur. "Hgnnh.." he manages to slowly stand himself up. Blinking as he looks around for Jade. "..Sweetie?" he blinked, walking down from the ships wheel "Jade!?" he began to lightly panic as he continued to look for his daughter. He began whimpering slightly as he looked aboard any crevices on his ship. Finding nothing, only his crew who also slowly awoke. The food gone, the money they had plundered, any treasures, weaponry. Vlad looked down, before punching the ships wall, making a small crack against the wood. He ran back up to the ships wheel, wetting his finger and putting it in the air, the wind was heading west. he frowned. "Pull up the anchor and pull down the sails, and be quick about it!" he called out, his crew working quickly. Vlad took the wheel, and began to sail, following the wind, and heading west. Towards horseshoe bay, where the girls met the first pirate to be known to them anyway. Although they helped him get what they want, Twilight Sparkle would rather to not meet him again, being a princess it wasn't the best reputation to gain if shes close to pirates. //-------------------------------------------------------// Prologue-Alucard //-------------------------------------------------------// Prologue-Alucard Twilight Sparkle and her friends where not scared by pirates much after they had an adventure with one, although they are still noted to be dangerous people, with many having dangerous motives. But, even pirates can have good intentions. Some just use a bit of manipulation to get what they need. Some of those pirates are called Alucard and Vladicarus, two pirates who sail against each other, neck and neck. Always competing to come out on top. Vlad having the most skills in map reading, and sailing along with being a great swimmer and fighter, while Alucard delved into more of the fun side of pirating, sailing, fighting, swimming, pillaging towns, and a bit of kidnapping. Alucard took most to the extreme, a pony with the heart of silver. He'll do anything he needs to do. Vlad, being the youngest of the two, cares for his crew, cares for his young and for anyone who lays aboard his ship. Of course that never stops him from doing the fabled kidnapping with a ransom, yet that would mostly be so he can have more money to put more food on the ship for his crew. In was may 5th, Alucard sat on the side of his ship, his golden hair blowing in the wind. it shining slightly as the sun reflects against the silver lining across his mane. His wings ruffle slightly as he sat and caught the fresh wave of the open sea's air. He stood up, the earring in his left ear waving slightly. He held onto a rope that sat beside him. He smirked softly as he looked down below to the water. he spoke in his loudest voice for his crew to listen "Crew! Hoist up the sails and drop the anchor!" He held up his arm slightly, his crew all yelling out a familiar 'yes captain' as they began to hoist the sails up, the ship slowly halting to a stop, the anchor slipping down and soon hitting the sea's floor. Alucard smiled. Removing his vest and white top, along with his boots. He jumps from his ship, splashing down into the water. he smiled softly as he began to swam around inside the ocean blue. A fish swimming past him, it looking like it was stuffed in a coconut by a silly yellow pony. He blew bubbles out softly from his mouth as he swam as deep as he could go, casually grabbing a large rock and holding onto it. Looking around the ocean blue he saw many great things. Dolphins swimming by, seahorses, seaponies. Although his peace is soon disturbed as large explosions are heard from the ocean top. he looks up, his eyes widening as a large flung of wood flips at him and stabs him in the gut. his eyes widening. before he slowly floated back to the surface.  he blacks out as he see's his ship going down, slowly "Gh...reh.." he laid back, beginning to float away..
