Shark Attack In Canterlot Bay
Chapter 3
Previous ChapterNext ChapterIt’s almost one o'clock and you, Applejack, and Twilight are at the docks of Canterlot harbor with Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Sunset Shimmer, and Rarity. You’re all just standing there as you’re waiting for someone to help you out in needing of a boat, or a tiny submarine.
They have some small submarines. Big enough to fit ten people at once inside.
“I’m not sure about this.” Rarity says as she plays with her hair a bit.
“But, we’ll get to see all the pretty fish.” Fluttershy response. “Oh how I always wanted to see the fish. Especially those cute baby sharks.”
“Oh, oh, oh! Do we get to see the sharks, and the whales? Oh I’m so, so, so, SO excited!” Pinkie screams up and down.
‘I swear, that girl’s crazy.’ You think to yourself.
“Are you sure this is the place, Twilight?” Rainbow Dash asked Twilight in a whisper.
“Yes, Rainbow Dash, I’m sure.” Twilight says in frustration.
“Hello there!” You hear a guy’s voice from behind you.
You look back to see who’s standing there. There, is a man. Who looks to be in his early to mid thirties. He has on a white coat that looks so familiar to you.
He has a dark brown hair with orange skin. “Greetings everyone. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Doctor Cyclone. What can I do for you kids?” He asks giving your group a quick look over.
“We’re here to see if you have a submarine for all of us.” Twilight responded. “We’re here to see if you can find the boat that was wrecked a few days ago?”
“Ah yes. I think I know which one you’re talking about. It’s only a mile and a half off shore. I can take you there. Oh, and please to meet you again, Twilight.” Doctor Cyclone says as he shakes Twilight’s hand.
“Wait, you know this guy?” You ask Twilight.
“Yup. He use to work at some type of laboratory a long time ago until he got fired. I can’t remember where, nor why. But, Shining Armor knew him after he got hired there.
A laboratory? You’re starting to think about that. Could he be worked at… No, no he couldn’t have. There’s a ton of different laboratories around the world. He could work at any one of those.
“Alright everyone. The sub’s ready.” Doctor Cyclone says as you and everyone else gets in.
“Oh I can’t wait to see the fishies.” Fluttershy says as she enters the sub. While Rarity shutters.
“The ocean’s not my thing at all. I rather go swimming in it or lay out in the sun.” Rarity dramatically groans as she enters the sub.
As soon as everyone gets in. Doctor Cyclone shuts the door.
“Well, here we go.” Sunset Shimmer says as she looks out the sub window.
Doctor Cyclone soon starts the sub, and you’re off to go see the wreckage of the fishing boat.
***
Only about an hour passes as something shows up on the radar.
“Alright, we’re finally here. Lets dive!” Doctor Cyclone says as the sub starts diving down into the depths of the bay.You’re starting to get a little nervous as to what would happen if a giant creature came in and attacked the sub.
Only ten minutes have passed as you’re almost at the bottom of the bay.
“Alright, this looks like the place.” Doctor Cyclone says as something starts to appear from the darkness.
You all begin to look out the giant windshield as you can just barely see something white.
“Can you turn on the headlights?” Applejack asks as Doctor Cyclone flipped a switch.
There… Is the boat. It’s broken into various pieces.All of your eyes go wide as you can’t believe what you’re seeing.
“Holy shit.” You mumbled.
“What the fuck?” Sunset Shimmer pops in.
“Oh my god.” Twilight comes in as well.
Doctor Cyclone just stays silent as he stares at the wreckage.
“Damn. What happened?” You asked as you’re now wanting to know what really happened. Until… You spotted something hiding in the sand right next to the boat. “Hey, does this sub have arms?” You asked.
“Yes it does, why?” Doctor Cyclone asks.
“There’s something in the sand right there.” You said pointing at it.”I’m not sure if it’s a piece to the boat or what. But, can you dig it out?”
“Sure. Give me a second to bring out the arms.” Doctor Cyclone said as he begins to move the sub in position, while the arms slowly extend out.
He begins to slowly, and carefully dig out the object hiding in the sand.
After one minute of carefully clearing it off. “Got it.”
He slowly picks up the object, and… Wait, is that… A shark tooth? Because if it is, it looks like it doesn’t look that old. It looks like it just came out of a shark. That tooth has to be seven inches in length.
“Holy shit.” You hear Applejack mumbled as she sees the tooth.
“That thing is huge.” Rainbow Dash said as she can see the tooth.
If that tooth isn’t that old at all. That must mean it’s a very bad sign.
“Is there a way to bring that thing in?” You ask Doctor Cyclone.
“Yeah, hang on.” He says as he brings the tooth underneath the sub.
It suddenly shows up in a small pocket of water, then the water drains, and the pouch is now ready to open. You opened the pouch and took a look at this huge shark tooth.
“Does anyone have a great white tooth?” You asked.
“Here! I got one!” Applejack says as she pulls one out. “Heh, while we was at that laboratory last month. I sorta grabbed one.” You don’t want to know why she did that in the first place but you’re grateful none the less.
You line up the great white tooth next to the other shark tooth. As soon as you line it up, there is a very big difference between the two.
One’s smaller, and one’s bigger. This must mean one thing that could have attacked this boat. Megalodon.
“Man, that tooth is huge!” Fluttershy said in surprise as she looks at it. “Could that be from a shark?”
“It is.” You said in silence. “This tooth looks like it just came from a shark. Look at it.” You said as you showed the others.
You didn’t want to believe it as you keep staring at it. You want to think it has to be a few million years old.
“Yeah, it kinda does.” Twilight said as she looks at it.
You’re still shocked from how big, yet how early it must be for a tooth that size to be dug out from the bottom of the ocean. You start to look outside as you keep thinking something might come in.
“Can we get outta here?” You ask. “I’m getting a little scared now.” You hate to admit it.
But you really do. Especially the others are a little nervous. But Doctor Cyclone, however. He doesn’t have a speck of nervousness in his eyes whatsoever.
***
Finally, you all reached the docks with the submarine as you all stepped out quick. You took another look at the shark tooth as you’re still shaking. You kept thinking that a giant shark might be roaming around the bay. You really don’t want to believe that.
“Are you okay?” Sunset Shimmer asks as she walked up behind you, her footsteps the only clear sign as to how close she was getting to you.
“I don’t know.” Was your only response. “I really don’t know. I mean… A megalodon can’t be swimming here at this time, right?” You asked hoping to be right. “It has to be extinct! They died about two million years ago! Look at the tooth!” You said as you showing her the tooth as she takes it in her hand. “Please tell me that’s a million year old tooth!”
“Hey, calm down.” Twilight said as she kneeled down and places her hand on your shoulder. “I’ll find this out myself how old that tooth is. If I get anything, I’ll let you know. But listen. You said you and Applejack killed a thirty foot shark last month, right?” Twilight asks.
“Yeah, yeah we did.” You said as Applejack stands beside you.
“Why? What’re you plannin’, Twi?” Applejack asks as Twilight gets on her feet. She takes a deep breath to calm her nerves.
“I hate to say this. But…” She looks at you dead in the eye. “I wanna go there.”
Your eyes widen in shock. Did she just say what you think she said?
“No. No no no no no no, I’m not going back over there.” You said as you backed up a little bit. “Why do you wanna go over there?”
“Lets face it. If there was a thirty foot shark that you both killed roaming in the waters. That means there might be a shark as big as three busses roaming here. Also, if you wanna find out how old that tooth is. I really need to do more research. All I need is a blood sample of the shark you two killed to see if the megalodon survived or not.” Twilight explained. “So… You think you both can help me on this?”
You’re still not sure about this. You really hate to go back there again after what you and Applejack have went through last month. Until you let out a sigh. You can’t believe you’re saying this.
“Alright.”
Twilight helps you up on your feet.
“We’ll do whatever we can, Twi.” Applejack says as you and Twilight get a boat. This time… You’re going alone.
