The party had died down by the time the sun was setting, Scootaloo had kept her promise and stayed alive the entire day, But Limestone and Yona had accidentally killed themselves with a botched attempt to turn a grenade into a firework, and Time Turner had gotten drunk and fallen into the Body pile, much to the laughter of his peers, Pumpkin, Gabby, and Scootaloo were singing a sea shanty while Vinyl and Red Heart were packing up the party supplies while Derpy was taking Pumpkins present's back to their ship, There ship was large, much larger than a crew of 11 really needed, It had two crows nests, and over 30 rooms, one of the crow's nest had a spiral staircase while the other had a ladder, The ship's name was the Midnight Ride III and they'd had it for about 5 or so years. As a result of its large size and small crew, the ship never moved quite as it should since all the requirements to get it going couldn't be met at once. Derpy was coming back from below deck after depositing the presents when the moon rose and the curse took effect, Derpy turned black as Night, her Eye turned orange and so did her mouth and mane, her Eye patch and the rest of her clothes turned Purple but the Googly eye and earring turned orange.

Vinyl and Red Heart both turned black as well, Red Heart's earring and apron both turned orange along with her mane as the rest of her clothes went Purple. Vinyl's peg leg turned orange as did the buttons on her shirt as well as her mane, her clothes and glasses turning purple, giving the side that still had a lens and odd mixture of both orange and Purple as her eye shined behind it.

Pumpkin had no extra orange accessories, and the lenses in Gabby's goggles turned orange along with the parts of her arm that were usually yellow, Scootaloo's shades, and the spikes on her shoulder turned orange along with her mane. The Body pile was now just chard remains, a Hand shot out and Time Turner pulled himself out of the mess, his Slippers and Tie Both orange along with his mane, Braeburn picked himself off the ground and licked his fixed teeth, his Hat, and Poncho a mixture of Purple and Orange, His mane, however, was Purple. Blackness swirled around them for a moment and Yona and Limestone's body pulled the blown apart corpses back together.

Yona shook her head, her Horns glowing orange along with the cloth around her waist, an orange light could be seen emanating from the top of Limestone's bag but save for that none of her clothes were orange. Spike stretched as he got to his feet, his Hook and Apron both blowing orange along with his spines. As the group all looked at each other the risen dead all asked in unison.

"I miss anything?"

"Spike, Braeburn" Vinyl pointed to the boat "Cake's waiting for you in your rooms, hurry before it attracts flies," The two immediately rushed to the boat, quickly wishing Pumpkin a Happy Birthday one more time as they did so. Vinyl held her hand up "We packing up, loot what you want from this useless rock, if you're not on the ship in 20 minutes you suck," With that, she levitated the empty table and Red Heart pushed the trolley after her with the dirty dishes and some leftover food and booze. Without hesitation, the still remaining crew rushed to the building, With Derpy joining in as she flew off the deck of the ship.

Yona was the last one to come back at the 21-minute mark, she was lugging a nice sofa she's found on the third floor and it had gotten stuck, after explaining what had happened she was deemed not to suck and the Ship took to the sky, Derpy, Spike, and Pumpkin lined up the Cannons as the Solar sails switched to Lunar mode and shot Iron Maw's ship out of the sky, waving from its flag pole was Silver Mask's skin.

"That guy sucked," Spike said as he eyed the falling boat.

"Iron Maw or Silver Mask?" Pumpkin asked.

"Yes," Spike replied simply as he made his way below Deck, Braeburn was at the wheel and Derpy was in the tall crow's nest, Derpy would usually be in the smaller one and Gabby in the tall one but Gabby had been given the night off. Spike made his way deeper into the bowels of the ship and arrived at the kitchen. He Marched in and found his cooking crew, about 30 or so Mice that he had trained to help with the cooking, everyone was usually poisoned by his cooking in some way, but that just made eating more fun.

"Lewis," He called out and a Particularly far Rat wearing a tiny chef's hat made its presence known "My Cake?" The Rat squeaked and three more pushed the plate forward he inspected it and upon finding no nibbles held his hook up "Have at it," The Rats swarmed the slice immediately as Lewis took point on Spike's shoulder and squeaked at him. "I know right?" He replied with a laugh as he searched through the cabinets. After a moment he pulled out a bottle and popped it open, pouring some of it into a cup for him and some into a tiny bowl, Lewis jumped off him and began drinking from the Bowl as Spike swigged his cup, "You guys been practicing your evacuation maneuvers?" Spike asked the Rat who squeaked at him in response. "Good, Don't want what happened when The the 2nd Midnight Ride went down to happen again, lost a lot of good rats that day," Lewis agreed and the two continued drinking before Spike got up "Scootaloo's Ban is up, Don't K.O.S her if she comes in," Lewis squeaked as he finished his drink and spread the news." Spike left the kitchen and made his way down the hall before knocking on a door, Gabby opened it and once she saw it was him pulled him into the room.

"About dam time, Strip I've been waiting too long for this" as Gabby closed the Door Red Heart giggled at the scene from down the hall, Her door and windows where open, Three Birds were roosting in her and Derpy's room, two where sleeping, one of them was a large Brown Owl named Barney, another was an Exotic red bird Rachel, and the last was a Crow named Marvin, Barney was the only one awake at the moment and hooted at her.

"No you can't go into the kitchen," Red Heart said as she looked into a habitat with a large number of Mice living in it "These mice are much healthier than Spike's diseased rats, no offense to Lewis of course he's a fine co-chef but he and his crew do have a history of poisoning us," Barney hooted at her and she frowned. "Keep talking like that and you'll only get one Mouse for dinner,"

Braeburn looked out at the endless sky and pulled down his bandanna so it was around his neck instead of his muzzle. He inhaled and sighed at the smell that hit his nose.

"Derpy what are you smoking up there?"

"Iron maw had some Mary Jane in his stash," Derpy replied "Want some?"

"Not at the moment but save me some will ya?"

"Roger that," She replied with a salute he had no hope of seeing, "There's a storm building to the west, we'll have to land the ship and strap her down when we get back." Braeburn looked down and called to the room below him.

"Vinyl you hear that?"

"I heard," Vinyl's muffled voice replied from the room below them, She was sitting at a desk and writing on a map, she had soft music playing behind her, it wasn't something she preferred but it reminded her of Octavia, and since she had no idea if Octavia had survived the events of 20 years ago she liked to think Octavia was somewhere out in the world listening to some sick beats in remembrance of her. The Map on her desk was covered in X's and circles, she pinpointed a small island on the map and put an X on it with a smile. "Bye Bye Iron Maw," She whispered before getting up and heading out to check out the storm, She made her way to the Crows nest and found Derpy smoking a joint while looking out at the sky.

"Hell of a place to get high," She said with a smile.

"You have no idea," Derpy replied before pointing to the west, Vinyl had no trouble seeing the storm, her cursed eyes let her see in the dark even better than she could in the day.

"Yeah that's a storm," Vinyl said with a head shake "looking to be one hell of a one-two, Braeburn what are our options?"

"We could go the charted path but we could get caught and lose the ship," Vinyl groaned at the option, The crew would all be fine, and would just wake up the next night at home, but there ship, Spike's Rat's, and Red Hearts Birds would all be lost.

"Is there still an equestrian outpost on Island C-89?"

"Last I checked," Braeburn replied "And that wasn't even a week ago,"

"Dammit," Vinyl grumbled "OK Head towards it, I'll give everyone else a heads up," Vinyl headed into the map room and scrambled for her intercom for a moment before speaking into it.

"Attention, Storm incoming, where gonna have to take a short cut, Equestrian Out Post on Island C-89, we'll be passing it noon tomorrow at the latest, no suicides or murders until Dinner, I repeat no Suicides or murders until Dinner, or Spike and Red Heart will prevent you from dying for a long ass time."

"Mother Fucker," Scootaloo said angrily when she heard the announcement, a Bottle in her hands, She shared a Bed Room with Pumpkin, Pumpkin had a mattress while she slept in a hammock, in Pumpkins hands were the pills.

"Aw," Pumpkin groaned as she looked at the lid she had just opened "We should have moved faster,"

"Sorry Kiddo," Scootaloo said as she put the bottle back in the cabinet and shut it. "Guess your first overdose will have to wait till tomorrow," Pumpkin pouted and Scootaloo.

"Let's focus on something else, Spike's like the ships whore at this point, maybe you could lose your virginity to him?"

"Naw," Pumpkin sighed, "He said my first time should be with someone I care romanticly," Scootaloo nodded.

"That's a pretty good lesson, I'll have to cut his head off later...or sleep with him, Maybe both? he'll fucking love that,"

"Oh!" Pumpkin said with a smile "What about you?"

"Oh honey," Scootaloo said with a laugh as her face turned red "That's sweet in a weird way but that's like the only rule I have as your aunt, you can't fuck your aunt," Pumpkin groaned as she thought for a moment "Oh, what about Yona?" Scootaloo opened her mouth, then closed it.

"Maybe as your second time, Yona has a habit of killing her partner in the bed, Braeburn listed it as his personal favorite way to die," Pumpkin pouted as Scootaloo tried to pick from the remaining crew.

"Gabby? No, she's not into ladies. Time Turner? Naw he gets way too clingy if you sleep with him. Braeburn? No...no he's only into Buffalo's and Yaks." Scootaloo groaned as she hit the end of her list "Derpy and Red Heart are in a committed relationship and only sleep with each other, And I think Limestone's either Asexual or Making Spike work his ass off for it, Dam to the void this is so problematic!" as Scootaloo tried to figure out who Pumpkin should sleep with Pumpkin got into her bed and began looking through her equestrian history book.

Yona sighed when she heard the announcement, Limestone was helping her with the sofa to avoid scratching the floor of the ship and shook her head.

"Well, this sucks," Limestone complained as she looked over at Yona "I was gonna push Derpy out of the Watch Tower, She's getting high and She always recovered in mid-air but slams her head against the Crows nest on the way up and falls down to her doom when she's high," Limestone smiled "It's always so funny,"

"Yona demands to view after murder ban over!"

"Well make a day of it," Limestone said with a smile "We can Cut Spikes head off, and to top it off you can rut Braeburn to death while I play with Spike's dead body," Yona raised a brow and she elaborated "Not that kind of play, I was thinking of having tea with it, just a nice quiet drink with my best friend who never shuts up," Yona chuckled at that.

"Yona loves sound of it, lets finish moving sofa and plan day,"

"Shame," Spike said as he and Gabby lay in bed "I was gonna let the Rat's eat me as a surprise,"

"Spike don't be silly," Gabby said as she cuddled him "Someone was gonna cut your head off and there's no way you'd pass that up," Spike smiled at her.

"Yeah, I'll probably be decapitated the second we're out of danger,"

"That's the spirit," Gabby said with a yawn as she fell asleep holding him, Spike moved a little and was sleeping not too soon after.

The Equestrian camp could just be seen in the distance, the sun was just starting to rise so the crew was all back to normal. Everyone was on deck as the rain slowly began drizzling on them signifying they didn't have much time before the storm began really hitting har. Gabby was in the large Crow's nest while Derpy was in the smaller one, Scootaloo, Timer Turner, and Pumpkin where on Cannons while Spike and Yona were trying to pull the anchor out of its place and onto the deck as the Equestrian Outposts had gained infamy for locking onto a ship's anchor and forcing them to either land or crash.

"Ready?" Vinyl asked looking at the duo.

"Yona can't pull anchor to the deck,"

"That's cause it's not supposed to go on the deck," Spike replied, both had a strain in there voices as they lifted the heavy hunk of metal, The anchor was shaped more like a claw as it was designed to chain the ship to land. "And we can't just break it off, it would take weeks to fix the dam thing," The two had the chain in their hands as they pulled on it, the chain was hooked up to a large wheel on deck, both Spike and Yona were sure that if they tried to keep the anchor up by pushing on the wheel it would certainly break and bring the anchor crashing down.

"Alright," Vinyl said as she lit her horn "Camo-Spell active, Go as fastly slow as we can,"

"um...alright," Braeburn said as he pulled a lever next to him, several ropes and pulleys whirled around the ship as
a single sail unfurled itself and the ship slowly began moving. The Crew was dead silent as they flew through the air, slowly crawling forward, nearly every eye was on Spike and Yona as they did there dam best to hold the Large Claw in place, both were starting to sweat at the effort, after a minute the Equestrian outpost was very near them, it was early and not very active but a huge ship was next to the island, easily 5 times the size of theirs, and with 100 times the man and gun power. The crew was all sweating now, not for their lives but more for their personal belongings, loot, the ship itself, and the lives of the pets on board. They were at the mid point of the island when it went to shit as a Voice cried out.

"NOW!" Suddenly Yona and Spike were yanked violently towards the side as a Magnetic Spell pulled on the anchor.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck!" Spike yelped as he lost his footing and was dragged to the side, Yona put her back into it and managed to stop them, the quick moment she bought gave Spike time to get to his feet and help her pull back when the voice sounded again.

"FIRE!!"

"Useless ass Camo-Spell,' Vinyl screamed as Cannons ball's injected themselves into their ship. Vinyl tried pulling on the chain with her magic but a counterspell built into the magnetic spell hit her like a brick and she was slammed into the nearest wall with an arm breaking crack. Braeburn tried to steer away and The Crew fired Cannons at the Ground, only for barriers to come up.

"Dam it all," Scootaloo said as she moved to help Spike and Yona, she wouldn't have helped much, but the Cannon she rolled along with her did. One she was there she parked the canon where the Chain went through the wall, grabbed the chain, and stuck her hooves against the Cannon after a moment of repositioning Spike did the same and the two pulled from the front while Yona pulled from the back, Pumpkin and Red Heart kept firing while Gabby and Derpy screamed insults at their enemies until a Canon ball went through Derpy's Pillar and fell onto the deck, Pumpkin lit her horn and Derpy jumped out as Pumpkin turned the Broken Crows nest to the island below and tossed it at them, it flew through the Barrier like it was nothing and caused some chaos. Braeburn was turning the wheel when he heard cracking he looked over and saw the Anchor wheel was being pulled from the deck.

"Yona look-" There was a crack just as Yona turned to see the wheel flying at her, she didn't have time to react as she was knocked off her feet, the chain went slack and Scootaloo and Spike fell back for a second before Yona and the large wooden wheel hit them and the crew watched as all three flew over the edge and down to the island. They didn't have time to move through as the sudden loss of the anchor sharply flung the ship away from the island, the crew held on to anything they could when Vinyl shouted.

"Full sails, Emergency Boost!" Braeburn pulled a Lever then slammed his hooves on a petal, From the side of the ship 4 pipes shot flames and boosted the ship away from the island, tearing up the open said as it did so. "When they come to life we should thank them for trying," Vinyl added as they rocketed off, back on the island the Equestrian Outpost soldiers looked up at the Trio frozen in Free Fall.

"Tasers set,"

"Hey, that actually hurts like shit," Spike said in shock as multiple soldiers held up long metallic sticks sparking with electricity.

"Fucking sucks," Scootaloo agreed before the voice called out.

"Incapacitate them!" The Three screamed as non-lethal electricity ran through their bodies. "Separate them, contain them, and prepare them for processing,"
