Chapter 10
How to deal with Pirates and Prince Brat

Mason slowly came to as he reentered the land of the conscious.

He groggily looked around only to find himself in a giant cage, from the looks of it since it wasn’t bound to the ground they were hoping to transport him. He looked across the room and saw the girls, except they were in a jail cell of their own that was connected to the wall.

Thanks to the changes his Guyver unit made to him he was able to process whatever was used to drug him, out of his system.

All three mares were still knocked out. They all laid on the ground as if they were just tossed there. There hands and hoofs were bound by ropes.

Mason heard footsteps and quickly pretended like he was asleep. As the door opened a few pirates walked in. At least that was how Mason would describe it due to how they were dressed.

They were followed by some blue man dog-like thing. The thing had dark blue fur, his body was very muscular like a gorilla, while his lower body had dog-like paws at the end of them. He had a tail that was long and monkey like that had a hand at the end of it. He wore brown cargo and a black muscle shirt. On his arms were golden bracelets. But what stood out the most was how his eyes looked like they were on the tip of his snout.

The young human watched through barely opened eyelids as he laid on the cold hard ground. The dog walked up to the cell and started banging on the bars. The girls began to stir until they eventually woke up.

“How the mighty have fallen.” The dog creature laughed.

“Ahuizotl!” Daring Do growled as she tried to break free of her bonds while she glared at her rival.

Vinyl and Cadance tried to use their magic but quickly realized that their magic wasn’t working.

“So glad you girls could join us. It seems you’ve been busy as of late Ms. Do. Also, you two won’t be able to use your magic at all while in here. The entire room is lined with Null Stone. Your magic is useless.” Ahuizotl said with a smirk.

“I don’t know what you’re-”

“Oh, come now. Don’t lie to me. My spies have reported that you found ancient ruins with human remains.” He said with a triumphant smirk before continuing.

“Imagine my shock when I was told that you had a human with you.” He said to which he turns his attention to Mason who figured now was a good time to ‘wake up’.

As he pretended to stir and slowly sit up, he felt the eyes of Ahuizotl on him.

“Ah, it seems my prize has finally woken up,” Ahuitzotl said.

“Where am I?” Mason asked, pretending to be nothing but a young boy. Pretending to have no idea where he was.

“W-Where am I?” Mason asked, feigning fear.

“What is your name human?” he asked.

“M-Mason.” He said.

“Well Mason, you are on my ship,” Ahuitzotl explained.

“Why am I here?”

“Because I plan on using you as my ticket to get that other human’s armor. I hold you hostage and he hands the armor over. Then after that capture him and sell you both to the highest bidder.” Ahuitzotl bragged.

“I have to say, good job first-mate. Drugging their food was an excellent idea.” He said to a red wolf that stood next to him who smirked.

“Thank you, Captain. Of course, this is me we are talking about.” He said.

“As for you girls, well I could just hold onto your little Princess. Keep Equestria from trying anything with you as my hostage. Celestia and Luna will have to bend to my will. I already sent orders to them to make the Solar Guard withdraw so we can collect our treasure.” He laughed.

“You won’t get away with this!” Cadance said only to be ignored.

“As for you two. It would be a shame to kill you both. You two are quite exotic.” He said as he walked over to Daring and Vinyl who looked fearful.

“Yes, I wouldn’t mind seeing how you two taste.” He said as he tore the mares’ shirts open. Vinyl and Daring struggled against their bonds to no avail.

“Get away from them!” Cadance shouted.

“Oh, don’t worry Princess. I won’t forget you. I’ll be sure to have fun with you as well.” He said as he licked his lips scaring the princess of love.

“GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM THEM!!!” Mason shouted in rage.

Everyone jumped at the shout of rage. Ahuitzotl quickly spun around, facing the child. The mares were speechless as they felt nothing but pure rage coming from the young boy. It felt like the fires of Tartarus were boiling over.

“How can he even be sane with such rage?” Was the thought on the 3 mares minds.

“Why would I do that? You can’t do anything and have nothing to offer me for their safety.” The pirate leader smirked.

“Because I could give you information on that magical armor you’re after.” The boy said, his eyes glaring at Ahuitzotl.

“Oh really? Fine then, what can you tell me about this magical armor.” He said with intrigue as he got up close to the bars.

“Don’t do it! He won’t keep his word!” Daring shouted.

“He’s just going to trick you!” Vinyl shouted as well.

“Please, don’t do this Mason! You have no idea what he could do to Equestria with that armor!” Cadance pleaded.

The mares kept pleading for Mason not to tell him anything, but the boy kept his eyes locked his enemy.

“I can tell you four things about it,” Mason said angrily.

“And what are these four things?” He asked.

“One, it is not the only set of Armor,” Mason answered.

“Two, it's called a GUYVER!" Mason shouted.

At that moment the whole cage was blasted apart in a flash of light. Ahuitzotl was sent flying back with some of his pirates.

Mason’s body was now covered in metallic armor. His height had increased to 7 feet tall. His armor looked a little like an insectoid humanoid. His armor was a dark black with accents of midnight blue. His helmet had a long horn-like appendage on the front of it that curved back.

“Three, I have it!” Mason shouted as his anger was clearly visible in his voice despite the sensation of his emotion suddenly cut off from them. The armor somehow changing his voice.

“Four, David's not here because he would slaughter you all! Not that I’m much different!” He shouted in rage before charging the pirates who had already drawn their weapons as more burst into the room.

Mason ducked under a sword strike aimed at his head like it was nothing. The Guyver slammed his knee into the first pirate's stomach. Shattering his ribs like they were thin twigs. The pirate went down like a sack of potatoes.

Seeing more charge, he activated his twin facing High-Frequency blades, two sets slid out of each forearm. Before they could even react, Mason slashed their wrists and ankles, severing their nerves and tendons. They fell to the ground, screaming.

Mason somersaulted over the pirates and landed on top of one of them. Breaking the pirate’s back as he landed on his shoulders.

The young guyver weaved and dodged between the pirates as nothing more than a blur. He slashed, punched, and kicked.

He swung a backward spin kick into another pirate’s head, sending him flying into the wall head first. The boy cartwheeled out of the way of a swinging sword and landed into a one-handed hand-stand and began spinning while doing a split. His armored feet cracking the skulls of his enemies as his free arm slashed and sliced through the pirates before he backflipped into a standing position. Spinning and turning as the blades he had sliced through the bars to the jail cell in two places destroying the cage as his head laser fired on the ropes binding them as that freed the mare by the time he faced the Pirates protecting his friends.

The pirates laid bloody and battered on the ground. A couple even missing some limbs.

Mason was now standing in front of the mares with his back facing them. Blocking Ahuitzotl and his first mate from getting to the mares.

“W-What are you?” Ahuitzotl asked with fear in his voice.

“I’m the Guyver. Number 14 to be exact. Like this one, they are all activated and bound to a master.” He said.

The pirate leader quickly regained his composure as he and his first mate circled the warrior.

“You think you can beat me little colt?” Ahuitzotl growled.

“I’m going to kill you. Does that answer your question?” Mason sneered before lunging.

The three of them clashed. The first mate’s cutlass was sliced in half before he was kicked into the wall by the Guyver, leaving cracks in the wall. Surprisingly enough, he worked through the pain and pulled out a hand crossbow. He took aim and fired at Mason's throat.

Mason caught the bolt in his hand only to throw it back to at the red wolf. The bolt ripped through the red wolf’s leg embedding deeply into the metal wall, making him scream.

“It’s just you and me now,” Mason growled as he dodged a punch only to be grabbed by Ahuitzotl’s tail hand and flung back into the wall.

Mason managed to right himself in midair and land with his feet on the wall in a crouching position. He quickly pushed off and went flying at Ahuitzotl and stabbed both of his shoulders with his blades. Pinning him to the wall having deactivated his blade's vibration function. He wanted these cuts messy.

Ahuitzotl was screaming in pain as the warrior slowly twisted the blades, causing him to scream even louder.

“You’re a sick son of a bitch!” He said as he ripped the blades out of him by retracting said blades back into his forearms before he began to beat the living shit out of the pirate.

“You spied on us! You drugged us! You kidnapped us!” The human screamed as he threw a nonstop series of rapid punches to the pirate’s face, stomach, and even crushed his tail-hand at some point with a hard stomp.

“WORST OF ALL, YOU WERE GOING TO RAPE MY FRIENDS!!!” He roared in rage as he continued his assault.

Finally, he stopped his barrage and grabbed the now bloodied and battered Ahuitzotl by the throat with his left hand and lifted him off the ground.

He extended his High-Frequency blades on his right arm and pointed the tips of them at Ahuitzotl’s throat.

“I’m ending this.” He said with cold fury as he readied his blade and lunged just as a voice screamed

“STOP!!!”

Mason stopped his blade mere centimeters from the throat of the pirate.

“Mason! You can’t do this! He’s already beaten! Just look at him!” Cadance pleaded. She couldn't feel the rage he held but the evidence was in his voice and actions.

The young man looked around and saw the horrified looks on the mares faces.

“Please, Mason. Don’t do this.” Vinyl pleaded, taking her sunglasses off to reveal her beautiful red eyes. They held genuine sadness and concern.

“We can call the authorities. Please, you don’t have to do this. Just trust us… Please.” Daring Do pleaded as she looked him in the eyes.

He didn’t know why but these ponies had expressive eyes, and their desire for him to show mercy had won.

He paused for a moment before he let go of Ahuitzotl who fell to the ground with a thud, already passed out from the beating and the pain.

“Alright.” He said as his armor ejected a burst of steam before it came off his body and faded into the ground.

To his surprise, the girls all pulled him into a tight group hug. They could feel the level of anger and rage he had, as well as the desire he had to protect them. With kind and gentle voices told him to just calm down and that everything is going to be okay.

He did the only thing he could do. He relaxed into the hug, slowly repressing the anger he felt.

The insult that Prince Blue Blood had just received finished processing on what he had said. "HOW DARE YOU INSULT ME!" And with it, Prince Blue Blood actually threw a punch at David. With practiced ease, David caught Blue Blood's right fist in his left hand at the last possible second. His hand gripping that fist tightly and just as Blue Blood realized what had happened. David's hand slid to his wrist, holding it tightly as he twisting it back which caused his elbow to point to the ground with his inner arm up in a painful motion as David's right hand reached up and put pressure under his elbow pushing it up locking Blue Blood in an arm lock with almost casual ease.

With the arm lock, David was able to pull down on his wrist and push up on his elbow threatening to bend it back at an unnatural angle. Breaking his focus and making the Prince scream out as if he was in agony, David knew the Prince was in pain but had no idea what true pain was. With a roar, David screamed at Blue Blood, "Be Silent!" And with it David allowed his full emotions of Anger to be felt as the emotion of wrath rage and a desire to destroy any who dare challenge him, was felt as it made Blue Blood's eyes constrict to pinpoints as he shut his mouth and screaming as even with the limited empathic powers he had never had he felt such anger and all of it was directed at him.

"You are not in pain Prince Brat...This is an idea of real pain." And with it David's hand on his wrist slid to his open hand and then took hold of the place between his thumb and index finger and with a pinch to the nerve cluster in the palm between the thumb and forefinger giving the Prince an idea of the meaning of real pain...and with it Blue Bloods Howl of pain rose several notches...and it only lasted for a few moments before David relented. The smell of urine had begun to flow in the air as David could see the inside of his white pants were growing dark and wet. As David moved so as not to mess his shoes up as Blue Blood's scream ended with a whimper.

And casting a look at Princess Celestia who had started to approach David genuinely concerned as Luna had put her hand on her sister's arm. "I don't know who you are, nor do I care Prince Brat. I am David Jackson. I have fought against Gods and Demons." It was the best way he could describe the Zoalords in terms that might be understood. "My armor is not for sale... for any price. Nor will I relinquish it without a fight. I have paid a terrible price for the power it had given me. For those who desired the power of the armor for they attacked my friends and family. In the end, they were all killed, some of whom transformed into the very demons I was forced to fight and kill. To give it up would be an insult to them." and David could see the Prince and feel his blood pressure spiking as he knew the prince was close to passing out from fright as David said.

"You are nothing to me, and if you persist in harassing me Prince Brat, I will do what should have been done to you as a Foal. I will grab you by the ear, grab a chair, haul you out into the middle of Canterlot city. Sit down, bend you over my knee, and spank your ass Black and Blue in front of all of Canterlot to see! Get out of my sight before I decide to do it anyway!" And with it, David pushed him away as he was so terrified he ran out of the council chambers holding his aching arm.

"I do believe that our nephew Prince Blood Blue has received a most generous serving of Humble Pie," Luna said with an almost wicked smirk to her sister

"Sister, I would suggest that we postpone the council meeting for twenty minutes or so. It will give level heads a chance to convene properly. And time to clean up the mess. Whilst I tend to our dear nephew's wounded pride." Luna said to slowly follow her nephew avoiding the drops of urine that he had left behind.

A quick look around, David could see that most of the nobles were actually doing their best to try and not break down laughing. "Yes, a quick Recess is in order." And turning as a guard approached David and said,

"If you will follow me sir." of course the guard had a very hard time repressing her shit eating grin. He had also noticed several servants also doing their best and failing to keep their mirth contained.

Luna left the Council Chambers and once out of sight her pleasant smile was replaced as she instantly took on a more serious tone. Following the urine and the cry of Blue Blood as she marched into an area where he had told a healer to stop the pain as Luna commanded in her voice. "Doctor you will do no such thing Doctor. The prince has not been injured."

And with it Shortly after Celestia had entered the room as Blue Blood Cried out, "AUNTIE CELESTIA PLEASE! IT HURTS!"

"Sister Prince Blue Blood has shamed us in front of all Canterlot with his behavior this Day!" Celestia turned to Look at Luna with shock. "I consider his discomfort a fair punishment for his poor attitude, and behavior."

Taken back by her sister's judgment Celestia. She was about to question Luna but she continued. "Imagine had that been to the Gryphon Ambassador, or the Dragon Envoy. Our dear nephew has grown up to be a Spoiled Brat. He is fortunate that David only sought humiliation, he could have easily broken his arm." Luna Said.

Celestia looked to Prince Blue Blood as she could smell the fear and urine, and his emotions of anger shame, and humiliation at having been so harshly handled by someone he thought was a peasant, when in fact he was anything but. And Celestia could not deny that had it been to a race that held large numbers it would have been a political disaster. With a resigned sigh. "What do you suggest Sister?"

With a slight glare at Prince Blue Blood that made him whimper. Luna spoke "Assuming that he learns from this little incident that his station and position does not give him the right nor privilege to make demands or commands as he did, his humiliation in the council I feel is a just punishment. I suggest you allow me to assume his education, allowing me to teach him behavior befitting nobility who's duty is to serve the kingdom's population and not his own ego and selfish desires."

"You can't do that!" The Prince whined in pain and anguish.

Celestia listened to Prince Blue Blood and Luna's own words as she said. "Your Auntie Luna is correct Prince Blue Blood. I suggest you listen and listen well. Your position as a prince as I have always considered you to at least have some common sense for a prince's behavior. Today you have proved my judgment to be very wrong. Had he been here as an envoy of his race seeking diplomatic relations, you could have started a terrible conflict." Celestia decreed.

"You have shamed me in the Council Chambers never before have you so openly and publicly acted so unbecoming a Prince of Equestria. And in case you had not noticed the Gryphon Ambassador Steelclaw, His daughter Gilda, brother and niece to King Stoneheart were in the Council Chambers." She scolded him.

"But Auntie!" he cried out tears coming down his cheeks...

"But nothing. Lady Gilda who is a Gryphoness who's species does not have empathy at all, acts with more dignity than you do. Your lessons will be assumed by Princess Luna. Perhaps with her more firm hand she will help teach you the lesson needed to act and function as a prince would."

After getting into a private room Shining Armor actually broke down laughing and moments later so did the guard and the rest of the mares. The reaction looking around David asked. "Is he really that badly behaved?"

"Oh, you have no idea! I have had to deal with him for I don't know how long!" Shining Armor said and soon he sat down on a couch "Prince Brat... you have no idea how long I have wanted to say that to his face."

"It's a good thing he was dealing with me. A friend of mine would have put him on his tail with a broken arm and bloody nose. He doesn't put up with that level of pompous bullshit." As David sat down and sighed.

"Well to a point it's not Blue Blood's fault he was born with a brain defect that severely stunted his empathic abilities," Twilight said.

"That is no excused Twilight," David said Sharply... "This brain defect does it impair his judgment of right and wrong? Does it affect his emotions that cause them to remain childish? Does it do anything other that inhibit his ability to feel emotions of others?" When he was given that it was all it did was affect his empathy.

"Then no he has no excuse. My species doesn't have empathy at all unless we learn that when someone is hurt they feel pain just as well feel pain. Even as aggressive as we were, We never acted like that unless they were spoiled children whose parents let them get away with anything they wanted."

"I have to agree with him Twilight..." Dash said as she plopped down. "Gilda's Gryphon Royalty, and while she was always cocksure almost to the point of arrogance she behaves better than that Brat..." And then came a knock at the door.

One of the Guards outside said, "Lady Gilda of the Gryphon Kingdoms wishes to enter and meet you, Mr. Jackson."

Dash perked up as David smiled and bade entry. And standing up he smiled when the Gryphoness slowly entered the room as she held a smile on her face and beak as Dash came up and once the door was closed Gilda and Dash instantly hugged each other. As David could see the reactions and affections between them Dash reluctantly as she said, "Ah this is David Jackson he's the one that stopped the Bone Serpent." And David having stood up took in the sight of the beautiful Piebald tawny Gryphoness. She did not have what he would consider a fluffy gown or dress.

Her outfit was while beautifully crafted it also held an air of practicality. With a tunic that allowed her wings to extend out of the back, and she wore a vest as well. She had what looked like jeweled Bracers on her wrists. This trailed down to her leggings which he though more resembled Bloomers for women with strap laced sandals As she came in David bowed slightly in respect, It was a sort of informal bow as she snerked yet the smile she had never wavered. "Yer not one of them stuck up prudish nobles. I Like you." she churred. "And after that little humiliation you gave to that over pompous prince brat," Gilda came up as she began a long slow circle.

"Oh," She said slowly walking around to look at him in standing in front she said, "Pity you did not appear in our kingdom, you would have made a wonderful boy toy..."

As David was thinking of witty retort there came a firm urgent knocking on the door, as Celestia and Luna opened the door and when they came in they looked genuinely concerned. "David Please forgive our intrusion, But we have news I think you should be aware of."

And with it, Celestia explained how the after the ruins had been found and then explained how Daring Do and her sister had found a naked human colt in her bedroom They had not told David for both lacks of information and the events of today. She described the young colt who introduced himself as Mason Williams. And that after they had taken him to get some clothes reports indicated they had been drugged at a restaurant and captured by the Pirate known as Ahuizotl who had captured not only Mason but Cadance, Daring Do, and her sister Vinyl Scratch and was surely holding all four as hostages. Demanding she order the solar guard to withdraw from the ruins so they could loot them, or they would kill Cadance. They also demanded that the Human with the Magical armor surrender it to Ahuzotl at once in person or the young human would be killed."

Of course, the Room had exploded into concern and outright terror. As all the Mares were, in a panic as David simply walked over to pour himself a Glass of water from a pitcher as Shining Armor claimed If Ahuizotl hurt Cadance or the other's he'd kill him himself. "Shining Armor," David said having checked through Telepathy on Mason and found him having already dealt with the Pirates. "The moment the pirates put their sights on Mason they bit off infinitely more than they could ever hope to chew. I know Mason and has I assure you already dealt with the pirates. Cadance and the others are save I promise you."

And with that Celestia was shocked both by the fact that David knew of this Mason, but was implying that Mason could handle the Pirates all by himself. "How can you not be saying that You speak as if he has armor like yours?" And then when those words were spoken her eyes, as well as every set of eyes in the room, went to David staring in disbelief...

David turned to look at Celestia and Luna as David began smiling at them... his lips curled in one of the evilest smiles they had ever seen while the sheer level of his enjoyment could be felt when he said. "Exactly why I said... they bit off infinitely more than they could ever hope to chew. And we happen to have a Telepathic link thanks to our armor."

As the local guards apprehended the pirates and raided the ship, not that there was any resistance now, Mason sat on the couch of the hotel room with a few guards waiting for the princess outside. Vinyl Scratch and Daring Do had sat on each side of Mason as she paced in front of them.

“Why didn’t you tell us that you have one of those armors!” Cadance shouted in frustration.

Mason shrugged his shoulders.

“Didn’t see a reason to really tell you.” He answered.

“Why not?” She demanded.

“I wanted to this thing a secret.” He said.

“Why?” Daring asked

“A lot of people want this armor as you can see. Imagine what happens when the government gets involved.” He explained.

“You mentioned something about another human earlier,” Mason said to Cadance.

“Yes, there is another human. He should be in Canterlot right now.”

“His name is David Jackson. Am I right?” He asked. Already knowing the answer.

“Yes! How do you know that?” Cadance answered with surprise. She personally didn’t know him, but she heard of this David from her Aunt Celestia and her Colt Friend Shining Armor.

“David is like an older brother to me. He’s the one who gave me my Guyver unit. Taught me how to use it.” The boy answered.

“What! Would he give you such a thing! And why would he teach you to fight so brutally!?” She asked, angrily.

“It was my choice to fight. Besides, if he didn’t give me the Guyver unit, I would have died. He saved my life.” Mason said angrily while narrowing his eyes at the princess. Causing her to regret what she said when she felt his anger, she could also feel his love and protection for someone he considered an older brother.

“I’m sorry.” She apologized, feeling his anger subside.

“It’s alright, I’m sorry for getting angry. It’s just… David saved my life. He's also gonna be pissed at me. I broke a rule he had instilled in me. If you kill, do so quickly, cleanly, and without pain.. ” Mason said as he looked out the window towards the horizon.

“I had a pretty good life. At least, in my opinion, I did. I had loving parents and loving siblings. Not too many friends. But the friends I did have were loyal and caring. Money was tight, but we had a relatively peaceful life. Until X-day. That was when the shape-shifting Zoanoids took over the world and enslaved it.” He started.

“Using their shapeshifting abilities they infiltrated the various governments and military nations of my world.” Mason continued as the girls listened intently.

“In less than two days they conquered the entire world. A lot of destructed and devastation. My father and family managed to survive, my friends as well. David had actually intended to give the Guyver Unit to my father.” He said before pausing for a moment.

“My Dad was outraged and incensed that the land that for two hundred years where you had a great number of freedoms were now conquered by a tyrannical force and virtually all those freedoms removed. My Father was outspoken about Chronos and he knew the danger of doing so. Those that did often vanished without a trace but as much as my father wanted to fight he couldn't. David told him that the Guyver would not only enhance his body and abilities, it would also heal his body completely. For my dad, this was a dream come true.” He explained. They could feel the sadness in Mason’s heart.

“What do you mean?” Vinyl asked.

“My Dad couldn’t work due to his physical health, he tried but his body was just too badly injured. The idea of being healed again and able to provide for us kids was worth fighting and risking his life for. But my Dad also looked at the greater picture. David explained what the Guyver was, what it did to the body. The enhancements the doctor said? I lied... that was the Guyver changing me, he told my Dad to think it over for a bit to make sure this was what he wanted.” Mason answered.

“One day, after school, I was out with my sister looking for something we'd heard rumors of weapons stored in a location, we wanted to fight the Zoanoids I saw them as the monsters they really were.” He continued.

“I and my sister snuck in. At first, it seemed empty, but we quickly found out that we weren’t alone. It was an ambush, a trap by the Zoanoids to capture resistance fighters. We tried to run but it was no use. They were just too fast. I remember getting slashed by a giant crocodile-like creature. My stomach was ripped open. My sister was trying to drag me to safety, she refused to leave me to die. She was always good to me.” He said as he clutched at his stomach absentmindedly.

“It looked like we were both going to be killed but before I realized what was going on. David came out of nowhere in his armor and cut down all of the Zoanoids like they were nothing. The last thing I remember was passing out in my sister’s arms, as he was walking towards us.”

“David had teleported me and my sister back to our house. My Dad without thinking told David to give me the Guyver unit he was supposed to receive. He told my Dad what would happen to me, I would be healed completely, but the Zoanoids would be after me and them. They would have to go into hiding. I would have to fight just to survive. But my Dad said at least I would be alive. I remember waking up for a moment when I saw David holding a strange dark metallic disk-like object with a silver orb in the middle of it with coils around it. He pressed it to my forehead and it bonded with me. I was healed and alive. David took me under his wing after that and taught me everything I needed to know and more. Ever since that day I’ve basically had became the ninja of the group, sneaking around and take out Zoanoids silently and quickly. David has always helped me when I needed it as well as being like a brother to me.” He said as he finished his story. The mares were could feel his sadness, but it quickly faded.

“But hey, look at the bright side. My family is still alive and fine. I’m forever thankful to David, that day he not only saved me but my sister as well. I just wish my Dad could have been healed.” He said the last part sadly. But he quickly pepped up.

“But hey, like I said, my family’s fine. My Dad has my Mom, my older sister, and my little brother. And to be honest had he not trained me to fight, I would have gone out and done so without his consent, either way, I was going to fight.” He said.

Vinyl and Daring were amazed, shocked, and horrified that the boy was dragged into something like this. Let alone the fact that he was from another world.

As they sat there processing the information Daring quickly realized something.

“When I was in the ruins, I found something like that orb thing you were talking about. I locked it in my room in magical stasis chest. But when we found you it was gone.” She explained.

“Yeah, that was my guyver unit. The reason why you found me naked was that my body had to reform from scratch.” He answered, making all three mares dumbfounded.

“B-But. Y-You. H-How-”

“Daring. We all had a long day. I’ll tell you some other time how the Guyver works. It’s a long story and includes a lot of the evils the Zoanoids did.” Mason said with a caring smile.

“He’s right. We all had a long day. We should all rest. I have to get back to Canterlot in a day or two to report what happened. But I’m leaving a group of royal guards to help guard the ruins.” The alicorn explained.

“Y-Yeah, your probably right.” Daring relented.

“I’m just glad we’re all okay,” Vinyl said, everyone, nodding in agreement.

“I almost forgot. There was a huge bounty on those pirates. The fact that you brought them to justice, means you get the reward.” Cadance said as she made a large sack of gold coins appear with her magic and handed it to Mason. "It's a small amount the rest has been put into a bank account for you.

“Sweet!” He cheered happily.

“Oh, looks like you dropped one.” Vinyl said.

“I did? Where?” Mason asked.

“Don’t worry I got it.” She said as she walked over to the coin and bent over and flicked her tail to the side.

As she bent over she gave Mason a perfect view of her snow-white ass. Her thong splitting her lower lips.
"AH! W-What are you doing!” Mason shouted in embarrassment.

“Just returning the money you dropped.” She said as she walked over to the boy and hand him the coin.

“And showing you the sweet ass, you saved.” Vinyl said with a smirk before she and her sister Daring kissed him on the cheek at the same time.

Cadance watched the whole scene playing in front of her. She couldn’t help but laugh at Mason’s childlike innocence as he flushed hard and panicked at the displays of affection. She knew he was in good hands with these mares.

As she walked out the door and met with her guard escort, she couldn’t wait to get home and tell Shining all about this. She also wanted to meet this David, from what she could tell, he was a good stallion that was a good friend to this colt. Thought she had serious concerns about involving a colt in such a fight, she understood the desire to save his life but allowing him to fight?

Inside the Guard Cell block of the City of Coin, Ahuizotl was not having a very good day. Getting his ass handed to him ten ways from Sunday by a damn colt no less, the desire for revenge burned within him as he heard a familiar voice. He was heard as soon hoof steps could be heard walking down the cells as the Pirate resided in his cot in the jail cell where he had been stabilized just enough to make sure he wouldn't die before he was brought to trial and more than likely executed. "You've surely done bucked up Ahuizotl when you took Cadance hostage. The Great Pirate King brought low by a little colt." Said a black stallion with a white mane and tail as he looked through bars.

And in that Ahuizotl looked at him "Get me out of here or I swear all of the Trade Sea will find out about how your rivals vanished..."

"I can't and honestly I think I am tired of being blackmailed... When you took Cadance hostage sent the letter to Celestia? She herself got involved. She ordered the dismantling of the Iron Wolf. They are tearing it apart as we speak. I can't override the orders of the Princess even if I wanted to. With your repeated escapes confirmed, the guards outside are not mine. They are Solar Guard members. They have orders to kill any of you on sight if any escape attempt is made. And they have a feeling that someone will try to rescue you."

The Stallion said burning hatred in his eyes as he said. "The pirates sent to the dig site, Celestia ordered the Solar Guard to stop them from escaping at all costs they are dead. You have lost over half your crew. The rest are lucky to be alive. From what I understand of the report Cadance... The human colt wasn't even trying to be serious. And if it wasn't for Cadance, Daring Do, and Vinyl Scratch begging for him to spare you he would have killed you. The next time you and he cross paths... I doubt he will be as merciful if you hurt or threaten his friends again."

And that only pissed Ahuizotl off even more than the human a colt considered him a joke. Worse yet he was forced to endure this humiliation by his arch-rival Daring Do

"If you do somehow manage to escape... I suggest you disappear from the Great Trade Sea. Because I will be tripling your bounty and declaring you a Wolf's Head pirate." And that scared Ahuizotl it meant that all who saw him were to consider him little more than a rabid animal and to be killed on sight. "And if you do reveal how my Rivals died... well I am tired of being Blackmailed." And with it, the Stallion turned his back on Ahuizotl and began walking out.

"Wait..." Ahuizotl groaned out struggling to sit up as he looked at the earth pony. "You said someone might try to rescue me, and the next time we cross paths..."

The stallion slowly approached Ahuizotl's Cell and then pulled out a small coin like device... and tossed it into the cell. And with it began to project an image of a figure cloaked in shadow sitting upon what looked like a gnarled throne. "Hello, Ahuizotl. I see you took me up on my offer, Golden Harvest. As promised I will ensure that all evidence Ahuizotl holds over you is destroyed. and I will keep my word you will not have to deal with me, until after I have conquered Equestria... "

And with it, Golden Harvest turned to walk out of the jail cells.

"Who .. Who are you?"

"I am the Dark Master. I have chosen you to serve me and my purpose in conquering Equestria."

"I have never served anyone but my self!" The Pirate growled...

"Then it pleases me to be the first you will call master. All Golden Harvest had to do to have me take care of you blackmailing him was deliver this to you. By the end of the day, Drakmore, Artin Silver, and Socara will have all the documents they hold destroyed. Golden Harvest is of no value to me at this time. But I see no reason to dispose of him or blackmail him."

"You will travel to Neighpan and search out and retrieve for me the Masamune Seraphim Blade."

"Why should I, what's in it for me?" Ahuizotl spat.

"Your bargaining posture is highly dubious. But very well. When I have you rescued with your remaining crew, I will heal your injuries fully, Provide you with a new ship and new crew to command."

"And?" The Pirate said.

"And Nothing.... you belong to me, Now."

The arrogance of this creature insulted him the mighty Ahuizotl "I belong to nobody!"

"Perhaps I misjudged you... proceed on your way to the Gallows." And with it, the image began to fade...

"No. I accept your terms I accept!" And the image restored its self as Ahuizotl panicked whoever it was Ahuizotl had to admit they knew how to play this game. And if he wanted to have a chance for revenge on that Colt and those three bitches... he needed this being who was offering his help. And who or whatever it was clearly, thought the Pirate, was underestimating him.

"Excellent. For now... recover your strength. You will need it when I sent my agent to rescue you." And with that, the metal coin began to burn and consume itself leaving no trace.
