Shark Attack In Canterlot Bay
Chapter 8
Previous Chapter“You monster! You monster!” Twilight said as she beats Doctor Cyclone with a fire extinguisher.
She beats him on the head as he falls to the floor when the ship begins to slowly sink. Doctor Cyclone lays on the floor in pain after Twilight hit him with the fire extinguisher. You grab his remote and you looked to the side of the boat is it begins to sink, bow first.
“Shit.” You mumbled as you can see the ship slowly sinking.
“Give me that remote!” He screams as he gets up.
“Fuck you!” You screamed at him.
“Why I oughta!” He said as he starts charging at you.
“Applejack, catch!” You threw the remote to Applejack right before he tackles you down.
“GIVE ME THE REMOTE!” He screams as he now goes towards Applejack.
As soon as he gets up off of you, you noticed the shark has surfaced again.
“Uh, girls? It’s back!” You said as Applejack throws the remote again.
“Rainbow Dash!” Applejack calls out as the remote is in midair.
As the remote moves through the air, Applejack gets out of the way just in time before Cyclone could tackle her. Dash catches the remote as she looks at it. Doctor Cyclone looks at the water when he hit his face on the railing at the stern of the ship and can see the shark circling the ship.
“Well, well, well, my baby’s back!” He said as he looked at Dash.
He noticed she has the remote, only for her to just throw it in the water.
“NOOOOO!” He screams as the remote splashes in the water and starts to head to the bottom while the boat begins to slowly rise up.
“You little brats! You’re going to pay for this!”
“No! You are you little shit!” You yelled at him. “You’re the one that caused that boat accident the other day, and now we know who the REAL murder is that killed those people! I’m not saying it was just the shark! I’m saying… It’s you.”
He screams as he begins to charge at you. He grabs you and starts pulling you.
“I’ll show you! Once you’re shark bait!” He said as he now takes you to the railing. He takes a knife and he cuts your hand as drops of blood begin to drop into the water. You screamed in pain as soon he cuts you.
“Haha! Soon you’ll be food to my precious baby. Then I’ll go after your friends, and they’re next.”
*Whack*
Doctor Cyclone got hit on the head by the fire extinguisher by Rainbow Dash. While you grab the knife from him.
“Not this time, asshole!” You screamed as you stabbed him in the arm.
As she ship’s stern starts slowly rising while the speedboat with bombs is being lowered to the water, still tied to the ship.
Doctor Cyclone throws you over the railing as hard as he can. But, you still have a hold of him as he falls with you. You held on to the railing as the girls are now trying to keep a hold of you.
“Hang on!” You hear Pinkie Pie scream.
“Just hold on!” Yelled Applejack.
“I’ll try!” You said as you looked down and you noticed you’re probably thirty feet above the water while the ship is still sinking.
Doctor Cyclone still has a hold of you.
“You little brat! Once I’m done with you, I’ll be the richest person in Canterlot!” He said as he pulls out a knife. You begin to freak out as you have no idea what to do. “So long, boy! It’s been great knowing ya!”
“NO!” You screamed as you kicked his face.
He lets go of your leg and the knife falls into the water as he soon follows. As soon as he did let go. The shark jumps from the water… and she swallows him whole. Then the shark splashes back into the water.
The ship begins to sink faster as you and the girls abandoned ship, get on the speedboat and went back to the docks as fast as you can.

You looked back at the water. Knowing what you saw back there didn’t frighten you. You’re just a bit scared on how this plan will turn out.
“You okay, sugarcube?” Applejack asks.
“Yeah, just… Really scared about this.” You said as you looked at her.
“I know you are. If it makes you feel any better, I’ll come with you.” She says to you.
“Huh?” You looked at her as you cocked an eyebrow.
“I’ll come with you. I know you can’t do this on your own. We’ve been in this mess before. Now… We get to kill this shark. I believe in you.” She says as she puts her hand on your shoulder.
You stare at Applejack for a second. But, you stayed silent before she could talk again.
“And… If you don’t make it. There’s somethin’ I’ve been wanting to tell you.” She says as she takes her hat off.
“What is it, Aj?” You asked as you’re a little nervous on what she has in mind.
“The thing is. I… I actually kinda like you myself, sugarcube.” She said as she went face red.
“What?” you asked as you looked at her in complete shock.
“Yeah. I really like you. Because… You’re a really fun guy to hang out with. You’re always there for me whenever I needed someone to talk to. Granny Smith, Applebloom and Big Mac really like you having around. They think you’re a true family to them. I would think to myself ‘Golly, he’s a really kind person. Maybe… I should give him a chance.’ and that’s when I knew it hit me.” She said as she took off her hat and gave you a peck on the cheek. “Just thought I let you know. Dash does like you too. But, I just thought I let you know about me.”
You’re completely speechless as you hear Applejack’s words hit you like a freight train.
You looked at her for a few heartbeats. “I… I really don’t know what to say, Applejack. I really don’t.” You said to her.
“You don’t have to, sugarcube.” She said as she finally focused on the mission. “Anyways, let’s get this started.”
“Right.” You said as you and Applejack get on the boat. You get on the driver’s side while Applejack gets on the passenger.
“Twilight, hold my hat for me!” Applejack said as she hands Twilight her hat.
Twilight hands you the remote.
“Remember what I showed you on this?” She asked.
“Yeah. one of them is the countdown button, right?” You asked as you pointed at the second button.
“That’s the one. You should be good from right here. Good luck you two.”
“Thanks Twilight…” You said as you looked out into the water. “We’ll need it.”
You start the boat and you begin to rush out into the open water. Everyone waves good luck at you before you’re out of sight.

Racing to get to the ramp your heart begins to beat faster. You’re just further away from it as you’re going about thirty knots.
“You ready, Applejack!” You asked trying to speak through the motor and the wind.
“Yeah!” She said through the wind and loud motor.
“Listen Applejack! We only got one shot at this!” Applejack grabs the remote as she looks at you. “Don’t press the button until I tell you!”
“Got it!” She said.
Just as you soon said that. The giant dorsal fin comes from underwater and now the giant megalodon is swimming right beside you and Applejack. You sped up the boat even faster as the shark now begins to chase you both.
“WHAT’RE YOU DOIN’?!”
“KEEPING US ALIVE!” You said as you went a little bit faster. “START THE BOMB!”
Applejack presses the button and the clock now starts ticking on the bomb. Only five minutes.
You keep the boat at full speed. You remember what your dad told you about the jets this boat also has. Usually it’s for emergencies. But, it will be in almost four minutes.
You look back as you can see the shark still chasing you. She now lowers her dorsal fin back underwater. That is not a good sign. Can she be underneath you now?
“WHAT HAPPENED? WHERE’D THE SHARK GO!?!”
“IT WENT UNDERWATER! BEYOND THAT I DON’T KNOW!” You said as she soon pops up right beside you.
You can see the six to seven foot dorsal fin just skiing beside you. You look to the distance and the ramp is getting closer,and closer. When the time bomb says only two minutes left.
“Come on, baby.” You said as you sped up the boat even more. The shark still gaining up on you. But, she soon rams your boat. You almost lost control until you got it back again.
“FASTER! HURRY! IT’S GAINING ON US!” Applejack screams as you did as she was told.
“OKAY, WE GOT ONE MINUTE LEFT! I’M GONNA GET THE JETS READY! ONCE WE JUMP THE RAMP, WE JUMP FROM THE BOAT, GOT IT?”
“I GOT IT!” Applejack said as you and her speak through the wind. You begin to shut off the boat motor and turn on the emergency jets. The boat is still going at the same speed as it was before. The shark dives down underwater.
You put the boat’s steering wheel to a standstill by pressing a little switch. The boat’s now heading to the ramp when it only has thirty seconds to ignite.
You and Applejack quickly got up from your seats and you two went to one edge of the boat.
“READY?” You asked.
“READY!” Applejack holds your hand tight.
“ON THREE! ONE…! TWO…!” The boat is almost to the ramp. Until… “THREE!”
As soon as the boat jumps the ramp, you and Applejack jump just in time as the boat flies in the air. The shark jumps from the water and grabs it with her teeth. Just as she’s able to bring the boat into the water, the boat blows up.
You and Applejack duck underwater just in time as soon as that explosion happened. As you and her are still underwater. You can see the shark facing you as blood comes from her gums where her teeth would be. She faces you for a second…Until she sinks to the bottom.
The shark… Is dead.
You surfaced and you screamed.
“We did it! We did it!”
“Is it dead?” Applejack asked as she surfaced with you.
“It’s dead! It’s dead!” You and Applejack cheered and laughed and you both hugged each other. The hug lasted for only a second before you two broke it and looked into each other’s eyes.
Both of your faces turn red as you’re still holding in each other’s arms into the water. You’re starting to think. Can you kiss her?
You begin to lean into Applejack’s face as you prepare to plant your lips to hers. She does the same thing to you as you both finally made contact.
Passionately kissing right there in the water after what you both went through. You both break the kiss and you looked into each other's eyes.
“We did it.” You mumbled to her as another boat comes to your ears.
“Yeah, we did.”
You start to hear your friends scream in amazement. Letting you know what a great job you both did.
“Holy shit that was awesome you guys did it!” You hear Sunset Shimmer scream as everyone else cheers including Fluttershy.
They help you up out of the water, giving an early congratulations.
“Is it dead?” Twilight asks you both.
The sounds of cheers and shouts slowly dies down as all eyes are on the two of you. Slowly their gazes go back out to the location of the explosion.
“Yeah… It’s dead.” You responded as you grabbed Applejack’s hand.
Her face darkens red as she notices you’re holding her hand.
“That’s good. Come on, let’s go back home.” Twilight said as she sits down in the driver side while you and Applejack flop down as your bodies begin to calm themselves.
She leans on you as Dashie looks at you with a look of sadness.
“I’m sorry, Dashie. Maybe next time.” You said to her with a smile.
Dashie just smiles as you’re now on your way back to shore.
