(POV Ausar)

My soldiers led the way out of the blood-soaked ballroom and down the hall. As we walked we encountered little resistance all ponies had fled once the gunfire started and the screams stopped but still, the few brave dock guards remained to guard the remaining airships.

"Halt in the name of the solar princess creature," the lead guard said causing me to laugh. "You are under arrest for crimes against Equestr-CRUNCH!"

"Hmph," I grunted in annoyance as Umbra bit off his head with a tentacle tipped with a demonic head reminiscent of an eel. "Umbra....feast," At my word five more demonic heads sprouted from my back all bearing three golden horns in a triangle formation much like my crown.

"Sir as much fun as it is to watch them be eaten we need to leave," said a griffon. "Should I send a team ahead we looted a few crossbows from the dead guards and can use them in place of our rifles?"

"Do so and commandeer the largest warship you can find but keep the crew alive," I said as I continued forward the six heads moving about as puddles of blood rippled from around my boots. My soldiers followed me but unlike me, they stepped around the torn bodies while I occasionally crushed one under my titanic weight. We soon made it to the sky docks where there was a multitude of downed pegasus guards moaning in pain. "Capture the survivors," I said as I walked towards a massive ship that had griffons surrounding the crew.

"My lord we have commandeered the vessel," stated an enthusiastic guard. "All the crew are here along with the captain but be warned she's a fighter," He said as we came to the crew all bound to the nearest immovable object and then I saw the captain. She was young with white fur and an electric yellow mane from my position I could see the crossbow bolt pinning her wing to the wall.

"Remove the bolt and bring her to the captain's cabin but guard her at all times," I said as my soldiers escorted the captured guards to the brig where they would stay till we reached our home. "LISTEN UP ALL OF YOU!" I yelled at the crew. "You have two choices you either work for me or you die."

"I'll never work for yo-BANG!" A bullet lodged itself in the brown-furred ponies skull causing others to gasp or scream.

"You will be treated fairly if you cooperate and if not...well I'm a fan of meat."

"I willingly join your ranks," said a random pony who was soon followed by the rest of the crew.

"Cut them loose and point us home we must leave before the guards rally," I ordered causing the crew...no my crew to hurry to their stations. "Kill any who try to hamper us that includes crew."

(POV Spike)

I stomped up to the wheel of the ship and turned in towards our home but was unfortunately greeted with the sight of enemy ships. At this moment I pressed an arcanite key on a panel near the wheel that set off a battle alarm causing the sixty cannons to push out the sides and a magical shield to encompass the rune enhanced warship.

"Battle stations now!" I yelled at the hesitant crew who were prodded by sword-wielding dogs and griffons who had taken muskets from the armory and were lining the sides of the ship. I flicked another switch causing a canopy to cover the deck, fortunately, this ship was held aloft by floatstone a magic rock which floated by drawing upon ambient magic but could be increased with controlled magic. As we neared the now fully formed blockade the tips of our cannons glowed red with energy as the charged the magic blast held within them. I halted our advance and turned hard to the left (Don't know navy terms) allowing our right cannons to face the blockade. "FIRE!"

Under the deck, the order was repeated as red shots of explosive magic lanced out tearing apart the smaller ships whose cannonballs fell short. After the shot was fired the cannons drew upon the heated metal to recharge and continue the barrage. Unfortunately, a few pegasi managed to dodge the cannon fire and get close but fortunately, we had muskets and crossbows that fired upon the approaching forces causing them to fall from the sky and those who made it aboard were cut down by dogs and the few ponies loyal to us. One or two made it to where I stood but both were killed by Zulu who crushed their bones with his large club.

"Spike let's not waste time with them," said the calm voice of Stormy. "Ram through them."

"RAMMING SPEED!" I shouted flipping a few more switches pulling in the guns and extending the mithril blade from the ship's tip. "LET'S CUT EM IN HALF!" The others around me cheered as our speed increased and the blade glowed our shield tightening around us and strengthening itself. They roared as we crashed through a cruiser class ship our own dwarfing it in size and as it exploded shrapnel punctured other airship balloons causing the ships to fall their crew screaming as they crashed turning into fireballs and setting the forest below us ablaze.

(POV Ausar)

I felt the airship shaking as I walked to the captain's cabin where the former captain was being held by my soldiers. As I opened the door I saw a griffon slam against the wall and the pony pick up his rifle which she unfortunately didn't understand how to use but she tried anyway. "Click," as the empty gun refused to fire a shadow tendril shot forward ripping the gun from her hands while another wrapped around her.

"Hmmm now, what are we going to do with you?" I said to her face as she trembled in fear. "How about this I'll give you a few jobs to choose from."

"I'll never join you!" She spat.

"At least hear the options," I said and proceeded to tell her them. "Your choices are the first mate where you'll assist the new captain, crew manager, or moral tool."

"What do you mean moral tool?" she asked making me smile under my helmet.

"Well I get pretty frustrated whenever things don't go my way and I need some help calming down and keeping my cool," I looked at here still oblivious face. "Basically sex slave."

"W-what!" she screeched. "I would never."

"So the first mate it is or you can control your crew," I said as my armor locked up and opened up on the front giving me a way to step out and revealing the book held in the slot on the back of my black undersuit. "Choose."

"I'll never help you."

"Well I'm not a rapist so I ain't gonna force anything on you...but I got a friend who's pretty good at breaking bitches like you," I pulled Umbra from my back and threw him before her. "Break her in Umbra but no blemishes please."

"YES MY LORD," said the menacing voice as Captain Sunny was dragged into the pages of the shadowy book. "OH YOU'LL BE EVEN MORE FUN THAN CELESTIA!"

"Now this ship needs some remodeling," I shot out a blast of quantum energy flooding the ship with the tingling feeling as the outside of the wooden ship was coated in a thin layer of black armor with the cannons being tipped with large metallic human skulls their mouths open as if they were screaming. I heard the yelps of the crew as the wooden color was replaced by a gunmetal grey surface. "Now this is more my style," I yelled

My armor picked itself up and walked to me handing me my scythe and pistol before I marched outside my gasmask covering my face with the titanic armor following me. The thumping from the boot falls of the machine sounded like war drums as it followed me with the machine hum adding to the music made by the death machine as it clicked and hissed only being powered by human engineering at the moment.

"Ladies and gentlemen let me congratulate you on a job well done!" I said walking out in the midst of the battle and upon realizing the situation I hopped back in my Warmachine. "Good job Spike but now it's my turn," I spun to my right pulling rifle from my back and charging it up till it glowed red and at the pull of the trigger I blasted through twelve frigate class ships turning them to dust.

"Woah," came the small voice of one of the ponies below deck as he watched me blast the other side the same way before putting my gun on my back. "Glad I gave up."

"Less talking more firing!" I yelled below down to the ponies as magic blasts shot out the sides. "Spike don't fire on that destroyer!"

"Why?"

"I'm going to say hi," I said as I jumped off fire shooting out of my boots and hands along with multiple vents on my armor. I was around 200 feet away when they noticed me speeding at them and they began firing and missing. "BOOM!" I landed on the deck causing the ship to dip due to the massive amount of weight added from the impact. "Hi there," I said to the crew as I looked across the deck and pulled my pistol out while a purple magic blade extended from my right arm.

"Half creature in the name of Princess Celestia you are under arrest," he said pulling out a pair of tiny cuffs.

"No thanks BANG!" I blew a hole in his head and continued firing causing my bloodlust to resurface. "BANGBANGBANGBANGBANG!" holes appeared in chests and heads while limbs were blown off until I got bored and holstered my weapon my left hand's fingers sprouting claws. "RAHHHHHHH!" I roared as I charged the guards tearing through their ranks blood splashing across the deck until I was met with a bright blue magicannon blast.

"Hah I think we got him," said a confident feminine voice as the dust began to settle and I began to rise shadowy fires blazing across my body and spreading across the deck.

"Die," I said simply as a black portal opened underneath the ship and multiple squid-like tentacles rose up spearing into the sip while larger ones wrapped around it and began to crush it pulling it into the hole allowing me to watch from the air where I floated as the screaming ponies fell into the hungry maw that was a construct of Umbra. "Feast then return to your job."

"YES MY LORD AND THANK YOU FOR THE FOOD IT IS MUCH MORE THAN I COULD ASK FOR."

"I need you at full strength Umbra and you must be kept fed to do that...also I love their screams," I said as I slowly flew back to my ship.

(POV Stormy)

"By the Gods what is that?" I said in horror as I watched the shadow creature devour the airship.

"It is a Kraken or that is the form it takes," said Zulu from behind me. "It's true form is Umbra the shadow book that has a mind of its own."

"Is it on our side?"

"It's on Ausar's side but I don't know if he is on ours," Zulu stopped or a moment. "From what I know Umbra was created by Ausar's kind and since they are no longer present Umbra now serves Ausar."

"Ausar's kind?"

"he is one of the first Gods they were different from the current ones."

"How so?"

"Gods fade with time but due to the long sleep Ausar underwent he didn't suffer the fading and after a god fades a small bit of their power passes on to the creature that most resembles what they stand for or controlled."

"So he is stronger than all current Gods and he possesses anything their predecessors created."

"Exactly and Umbra is one of their creations from what I gather he was made by Death because that is what he brings."

"ZAP!"

"What the fuck was that!" I yelped as a massive bolt of energy struck the shield and I looked ahead of us seeing a large Minotaur warship with a massive magicannon running the full length of the ship. I looked back as I heard the crew shout something.

"Railship inbound activate forward cannons!" Spike did as the crew suggested and two long guns with a massive amount of runic engravings poked out glowing. "Captain permission to fire when ready?" asked the crewman.

"Fire when ready," Spike replied as the long guns glowed the runes siphoning heat and charging higher than any other cannons. Moments before we fired we heard the magically amplified voice of the minotaur captain.

"YOUR LIES SHALL DIE WITH YOU HERETICS!"

"Opening fire."

"ZAP...ZAP," the two oddly quiet shots of the cannons lanced out like lightning the first taking down the shield and the second blowing through the hull and shattering the floatstone causing the ship to fall just as Ausar landed aboard our ship.

"Good work now let's go home," He said with no room for a second opinion.
