Shark Attack In Canterlot Bay

July 2nd.

The next day has arrived as you, Applejack, Twilight and the others are standing on the beach while everyone’s swimming.

“I’m telling you, Fluttershy! That shark’s so big, it can swallow you whole!” You said to her.

“Hmph.” Fluttershy turns her head as she doesn’t believe you one little bit.

“Please, Fluttershy! You have to believe me!” You begged her.

“Oh please. That shark is just a little baby who’s just swimming around like the one you saw out there yesterday!” Fluttershy said as she looks at you with a cold glare.

‘Is she saying she can handle this beast?’ You think to yourself.

“I think you’re just scared a poor baby shark will just kill us? Well you’re wrong! It’s just a poor baby shark looking for a home. Perhaps a friend?” She said.

You pull out the megalodon tooth that you and the others found yesterday and showed it to Fluttershy.

“Does this look like it came from a baby shark to you?” You asked her. But, your only response is Fluttershy taking your hand, and letting it down while she looks at you in the eye.

“Baby… Shark.”

You hit your face with your hand and let out a frustrated sigh. While you put the tooth back in your pocket.

“Alright, fine. But, if you see a giant eighty foot shark jump out of the water. Don’t come crying to me.” You said as you start walking to Applejack and Twilight. While Rarity, Sunset Shimmer, Pinkie Pie, and Rainbow Dash are relaxing under the sun.

“I swear, is Fluttershy always like this when I’m not around?” You asked them.

“I don’t think so.” Twilight said looking at her. “What makes you say that?”

“She thinks this giant shark is just a ‘baby’ looking for a home or a friend.” You said to her.

“Well, that’s Fluttershy for ya.” Applejack responded as she crossed her arms.

“Yeah, I bet.” You mumbled as you turned around and crossed your arms while you just look at the swimmers, and the distance of the bay. You suddenly hear your name being called out. You look over to see that it’s Rainbow Dash is calling you.

“Oh my god.” You said as your cheeks start to turn red. You let out a groan as you start walking over there.

“What is it Rainbow Dash?” You asked as you’re sitting down beside her.

“Why are you still wearing your shirt?” She asks as you have on a white t-shirt with your swimming trunks.

“Because I don’t wanna swim yet?” You said.

“Oh, alright.” She said as she turns to her back with her swimsuit. You hear her let out a giggle as she spotted you looking at her.

‘I swear, Dashie.’ You think to yourself. She is cute. You have to admit. But, you just don’t like her that way.

“OH MY GOD!”

“EVERYONE OUT OF THE WATER!”

“What the hell?” You mumbled as you stand up. You see people running out of the water and you ran to Twilight and Applejack.

“What happened?” You asked them.

“A whale got taken under!” Twilight responded.

“A whale?”

You look out in the distance as you see a giant puddle of blood just in the deeper water. You see a whale surface. But, you can’t hear it moan in pain. All of a sudden… A giant shark comes out from the depths. It jumps out of the water probably twenty feet or so, and it takes the helpless whale under.

That was megalodon.

Twilight was right. A giant megalodon is roaming in the bay.

“Oh my god.” You mumbled as you couldn’t believe what you just saw.

Looking over at Fluttershy, you notice her shaking very badly at what she just witnessed as well. You walk up to her and rub her shoulder.

“You believe me now?” You asked her trying not to come off as an ‘I told you so’, while she nods her head in silence.

“What happened?!” Rainbow Dash asked.

“What’s going on?!” Sunset Shimmer immediately comes in after Dash.

“What happened?” Rarity asked.

You just stare out in the distance where the giant megalodon took the whale underwater with it.

Turning to walk past them you groan knowing what you have to do. “We need to see Doctor Cyclone.”

***

Five to ten minutes have passed as you all ran to Doctor Cyclone.

“Doctor Cyclone!” You and Twilight called out to him.

“Ah…Nice to see you kids again. What can I-”

“IT’S REAL!” You and Twilight screamed together.

“I’m sorry?” Doctor Cyclone responded.

“The megalodon… Is real.” Twilight said trying to catch her breath.

“We just saw it take down a whale from the beach!” You said to him.

“Oh, so that’s what I saw over there.” He says.

“How is that shark still alive? I thought it died out a million and a quarter years ago.” You asked.

“It actually could be possible for a shark that big to exist, actually.” He said as he looks at his watch.

“Damn, I really can’t believe it’s real!” You said as you suddenly get an idea. “Is there a way to kill it?”

“I have no idea.” Doctor Cyclone responded. “The shark’s too big and too powerful. There’s no way to kill it.” He said when you try to think.

You have remembered the dynamite spear you and Applejack used against the thirty foot infant last month. Sadly this shark is much bigger and you knew that plan was out the window, and began hoping for a better way.

“I got an idea.” You said grabbing everyone’s attention. “What if we can get a speedboat, and we place it in the shark’s mouth? A shark’s mouth that big is really huge, right? Could a speed boat fit in its mouth?”

Everyone looked at you as if they may think you’re right.

“I think it should. But, how can we kill it with a speed boat?” Twilight asks you.

“With some explosives.” You said as you spotted a speedboat on a dock. “We can place the explosives on the motor of the boat. That way, when the shark bites it. Those bombs would detonate as soon as the shark tries to takes it under.” You demonstrate.

“I think that could work.”Applejack responds.

But, you see Doctor Cyclone with a cold expression on his face.

“What do you think, Cyclone?” You ask him as everyone else looks at him.

“It could work, if done right.” He groans as his head begins to hang while he paces back and forth, “If set to either a timer, or remote to ensure they go off. Perhaps...” He trails off listing a few options he felt was best suited for this plan.

Everyone looks at him hoping for the best. Looking around his lab for a few things, he sighs while giving a dead panned expression.

“Let’s do it.” He said as he walks inside. “Meet me here tomorrow, at noon. I have a boat, but I’ll need until tomorrow to put it in the water. It takes a big while.”

“You got it. Come on guys.” You said as everyone follows you.

“Is that you’re only option?” Twilight asks you.

“On killing the shark? Well, what other option do we have? That shark’s too big and too dangerous. We have to kill it. I believe a speedboat with bombs is the only option.” You said to her.

“How do you do that?”

“I have an idea.” You said as you got up and walked to the speedboat. “What we could do…” You hop into the speedboat. “Is we take the bombs and we’ll strap them to the stern. Then, we can race to a ramp what the water skiers use when they jump. If the boat’s good for that, and if it’s fast enough. Then it should work.” You demonstrate.

“Uh, you can’t use this boat!” Sunset Shimmer pops in.

“True. But, my dad has a boat he never uses. I can ask him if we can use it. If it works, we’ll have this shark dead in no time.”
