A metal monster was a good word to describe what the ponies on the S.S. Magic Saw. When they got closer it looked like a sail-less metal ship, but the story follows the ships last remaining occupant not the ponies. Story starts on Cruise ship.

Has aspects of BloodBorne. This is my first story, so I would like some constructive criticism.

Steel sails

Silver wasn't in the best of moods. It could be because of the storm, that's she's wet, or it could be that's the ship she's on is being attacked by a kraken. That could be a very possible reason. How did she end up in this situation? She and 50 others were selected to escort Prince Shining and Princess Cadence to Valoir a Griffen port where they would then go to Talorine the Griffen Capitol where they would talk to some delegates about a possible trade between the Crystal and Griffen empire, but at the moment the most important thing was getting untangled from the rope currently wrapped around her .

"DAMN ... who ever invented ROPE ...TO THE PITS". She shouted in labored breaths. The current scen in front of silver was a mish-mash of gold and dark blue armour with the occasional dark scaley green tentacle. she kept trying to untangle her self then switched to biting the rope. Thestrals after all have a fangs unlike their pony counterparts. She kept gnawing untill her efforts were rewarded with a snap as the rope was bit in two. " Why didn't I do this sooner?" , contemplated Silver as she stopped struggling to think for a brief moment. " Im such an idiot".

Silver gave pause as she noticed a tentacle slowly inching closer. She redoubled her efforts while repeating a mantra to best describe how she felt, " Nope, Nope NOPE NOPE!". She felt the rope snap again then it slidding off as she took flight to the top of the mast. Did imention She has wings? Thestrals come in three types three types albeit the non-winged one are a bit rare.

Silver was looking for Prince Armour and Princess Cadence to make sure they were safe when an explosion rocketed through out the ship." WERE TAKING ON WATER", the booing voice of Prince Shining rang out. Fire was spreading from the explosion. The once proud majestic oak wood vessel spanning more than 80ft in length and 28ft in height now was scorched, burning, on fire, had a hole in it, going up in flames, did I mention the fire?

A horrible wail let out making many hold their ears because of the frequency and how loud it was. The threstals on aboard were experiencing a fresh new type of hell because of their how sensitive their ears are. The equivalent is dogs and dog-whistles. The tentacles began retreating from the fire into the salty ocean water. The kraken's green head surfaced as it let out a final roar. The frills going down its neck were on edge, it turned to glare at the wooden vessel with its one good eye. Part of its head from thev top from the right side of its head to its right eye scared, burned and fleshy. He noise-lesson dove back under water.

The burning glow of the boat visible for miles. Lighting up the night as the dark grey clods continued their torrent.

Silver Flew down towards the bow of the boat toward Prince Shining.

"-unicorns can't hold the water out much longer we need to find a better solution and now", a brown earth pony in gold armour spoke quickly.

The calm stern replie of Shining came, " Take any wood you can salvage and patch the hole with it have the unicorns bail out water. It won't look pretty and it won't last. This is our best option right now so get to it Sgt.". Armour turned to regard Silver, " Pvt Skies I need you to go up and look for any land and warn if you see the kraken. He'll becoming back, they are very aggressive creatures from what Twily told me".

" I'm sorry sir who? ", replied a curios silver.

A faint blush graced Shining's face, " it doesn't matter who now get to it" Silver gave a salute before leaving. Shining felt his blush disappear under the rain as Silver left. " Why do I always embarrass my self". Mumbled Shining

" Because your very talented at it", Cadence jokingly said

" just as good as you are at your's and Twily's secret dance"

A blush danced a cross Cadence's features. " Well I still pale In comparison to the number you pulled at the Gala last year".

Shining in turn bore a shepish grin, " What about the tim-"

"Cpt come get a look at this" Shouted Silver. She had a look of awe and excitement.

Shining came running over, " WHAT IS IT IS THE KRAKEN BACK!? ALL HOVES ON DE-"

Silver cut him off with a quick gesture of hooves, " NO, NO Cpt it's not a the kraken" she happily replied turning way from him and leaning on the railing, " Look at that!". Silver pointed with a hoof.

Shining followed the hoof and looked out. What he saw made him gasp." It looks like a giant metal ship". The thing was massive. Easily a mile long and half a mile tall. It had many levels from the bottom to the top. It was a pearl whit accented with a good amount of rust. On the side written in great big letters was S.O.S

Shining stared at the text in confusion, " What does it say?".

" I don't know it's written in some weird language"

" Well that's our only option. FAR SIGHT." A tan pegauses looked in his direction we have our course.

The waves crashed violently against the hull. At the bow there was a figureleaning on the railing. It had a booted foot pressed firmly against the railing." I can't believe this is the last pair of pants from the security's office. I mean come on I've ruined more pants in the past month than my whole life". He continued to mumble some in coherent thoughts to him self when he noticed a column of smoke in the distance. He undid the bag on his back. He unzipped the first pouch and started searching." Where did I place it... Ah ha", he pulled out a pair of binoculars and looked out towards the smoke column. He followed it down to a smoldering ship. He noticed a lack of metal and found wood. " Odd. Who has a wooden ship now a days". He then noticed the ships occupants and In particular a silver-grey pony with weird bat wings and a dark purple mane, with what he believes gold-yellow eyes ( it's hard to tell from this far away). " Is that a unicorn with a mutated pegauses?", disbelief evident in his voice." Hope there friendly," he said to himself, " I ran out of bullets when I dispensed them into that weirded green squid. Good thing they were put to use. Dumb thing attacked the turbines and got oil on its face. Thing light up like a Christmas tree."

He took his foot off the railing and started towards the crew quarters. "Better grab some  shut eye. 2hrs won't kill me. Imean what's the worst that can happen while I'm asleep.". His foot steps died as he walked toward the door.
