Love is Blue

The next day
Hour: 6:30 a.m.
Place: Canterlot

And so to the ringing of my alarm I have been awoken. There was a new ability that had appeared and was: Judgment Eyes. There was a note along the power: "These eyes help you to know the stats of a pony or creature." Well I will be damned this is surely close to those cliché anime mangas where the character has this type of power. I then prepare myself with the fancy clothes that were laid out for you. A knock was heard on my door and I moved promptly to answer it. It was two guards: A mare and a stallion. "Sir, we are here to escort you to where the princesses are waiting." With that I departed with the guards. After some minutes we entered a room and there was Princess Cadence along her husband Shinning Armour and then on the right of them the two princesses were seated and finally Twilight with the Mane 6 and Starlight.

"Hello Jorge, we need for you to create a team for you to help us in somethings and well of course your HQ will be the barracks of Canterlot. So I have set up the best of the best that I have. Come in Ponies." She said as 10 ponies entered half were male and the other half were female. And so I activated my eye and saw the stats that it said. However I had a different kind of team in my mind so I configured my eye to show me what I want. So finally these were the stats that where shown: Health, Engineering skills, Intelligence, Reconnaissance, Accuracy, Leadership and Healing. They were ranked from S++ to F. So in these ponies all these skills where at least a C++ level. Shit, these were the best? Maybe, but where not the best in what I was searching.

"Sorry, but these won't do can I go to the barracks or can you show me everyone for me to see?" I said. Luna and Celestia were impressed and really shocked.

"Why are they not to your liking, Jorge?" Said Shining Armour.

"Well, they are elite alright but they are not elite in what I am searching." I said. And so it took an hour to gather everyone. There were around 120 ponies. Urgh. However I had my notebook and wrote what I need in order for this to be more easy:
Engineer:
Strategist:
Scout:
Second in Command:
Marksman:
Medic:
And so I started seeing other guards and other ponies. Until I found what I had everything I wanted.
Engineer: Power Glade: She has in Engineer and S class, in health B class, intelligence A+ class, and the rest at least it was C.
Strategist: Horn Glow: He has health A class, Intelligence S+ class, Accuracy A class, Leadership B+ class and the rest was C+ class.
Scout: Shadow Reeve: She has Reconnaissance S-, Intelligence A++, Accuracy A+, Healing B++ and the rest was C++ class.
Second in Command: Carrose Plight: He had Leadership S, Inteligence S++, Engineering A-, Health A and the rest was B class.
Marksman: Sahara Wells: She had Accuracy S++, Inteligence A++, Health A and the rest was C- class.
Medical: Bonitte Mone: She had Accuracy S, Inteligence S+, Healing S++ and the rest was C++ class.
The rest of the ponies had also good ratings however how they are and how they act I preferred not to choose them to avoid future problems. These 6 were the best of the best. However some didn't agree as most of them were to say the least, trash. So I had to explain why I choose them instead of the others, plus I argued that I also took some nobles. So it is not so unfair. And with that I finished and I asked Celestia for a moment to talk to them.

We then went to a private place, and I said: "Listen here, I choose you because you are the best but being the best doesn't exclude you from being kicked out of the team. Now I need everyone's agreement since we will face countless dangers, some may bring us to the brink of death, some will be so harsh and unfair that you wish you weren't in this team so I need to know if you are up to it." With that finished everyone agreed and so I continued: "Well, congratulations you made it to the elite line of defense of Equestria. Now tomorrow I will ask you to be here at 5:00 a.m. I will be expecting you in the entrance of the castle. I have a tolerance of 15 minutes, if you don't make it you will be left and you have to wait for tomorrow to go with us. Did I make myself clear? Raise hooves if you understood." All raised their hooves. "Good, know for the mean time we will start with the basics so let's go follow me." I said as Luna, Celestia and the Mane 6 followed us. "Sorry Mane 6 but you are not allowed." I said.

"What? Why can't my friends be allowed?" Twilight said.

"Because we don't know for sure if they are spies of the matrix or from the enemy so I better stick to the ones that I am safe that they aren't a spy." I said.

"How do you know that?" Said Rainbow.

"Well, first you are not the princesses so you roughly go to the inspection in case you are not the real princesses, and secondly I would definitely not want that so many ponies know of this." I said while signaling that we needed to go.

"Sorry guys but Jorge is right however," entering to a mutter "I will tell you everything once I finish this" Said Twilight. And with that there was no resistance and we finally parted toward the port of Manehattan.

"Sorry to ask but why are we heading to Manehattan?" Said Celestia. The others also seemed to have the same question.

"Well, that's the closest we can get to the ocean. Plus I prefer Manehattan than Baltimare." I said. And with some hours we finally arrive at Manehattan and then we took a cab to the ocean and then we got there. "Please wait a minute for me to get ready." I said while preparing myself.

And so I searched in my menu and selected the army option then the battleships option. And then there were three options:
United States:
- Montana.
- Iowa.
- Des Moines.
Japan:
- Yamato.
- Zao.
Germany:
- Bismarck.
- Grober Kurfüst.
- Hindenburg.
Now this is interesting however I choose my favourite battleship as we will be needing it for around three weeks. And with that SPLASHHHH The Bismarck appeared. Everyone was freaked out even the ponies which were in Manehattan stopped to see the gigantic thing after disappearing from sight. "Whew that was close well, as you can see this is the Bismarck, this and many other reasons are the why I choose this team. You are the best for this kind of thing, now let's start shall we? I put a spell for only Manehattan not to see this ship as it will cause a big uproar so I kindly suggest to get in and start going on the sea." I said.

"Why did this appear, Jorge?" Said Luna.

"Well this is part of my powers I can summon battleships which are like this or cruisers which are smaller and destroyers which are even smaller. Chop Chop we need to go." I said hurriedly as I go to the Conning towers and start the engine. With that we are moving and I set course to the center of the ocean. While I was managing the ship, the princesses and the other 6 entered. Gasps and "Woah" and "Ooooh" were heard and I smiled. "Just wait a bit I'll get to you." As I started to rotate the helm towards port (Left). And within minutes it was safe that I left the helm. "Welcome to the Bismarck. Isn't she a cutie?" I said as I was kissing and massaging the war table.

"She?!?!?!?" All said.

"Well of course, all boats are a she and some are worthy of praise this being one of them." I said. "But well, change of plans we will stay here for the week there will be meetings and here we will learn all about this ship."

"Jorge, do we have food?" Horn Glow said.

"Nice question let's see the kitchen. Follow me please and please don't touch anything until everything is explained, especially not the big, fancy and attractive red button that is over there." I said, hoping internally that someone push that button and get freaked out. I giggled. And so after some minutes we arrived to the kitchen. "Here we are. Now let's see the rations." As soon as I opened the storage, food was seen. There was everything: hay, meat, vegetables and other things. "Well that answers the problem." As soon as I closed the storage the ship shook and then BOOOM Now that's quick I thought it will take me to press that button but someone was very eager to see what happened. And so we quickly get to the conning towers and saw Twilight awestruck and shaking. "Come on Twilight, there is nothing to fear. It was just the guns that fired."

"Guns?!?!?" Everyone yelled.

"Yeah, although these are not the most powerful but they still pack a punch."*laugh*" Well they are twin 380mm. So let's give it another shot shall we it was actually pretty satisfying." I said and then Celestia stopped me.

"No, I rather have you show us our beds, please."

"Ok, follow me. Please watch your step as we are entering a difficult patch of the ocean." I said as the Bismarck slamed the ocean making everyone expect me fall due to not having equilibrium. "Come, they are right over here." I said. While the ship had rough movements due to the waves and the storm that we just entered. The lights were flickering but it didn't matter as this ship has endured tougher. And so we arrived to where everypony will be sleeping. It was my room, I decided for this room to be where the princesses will be sleeping as it is in better conditions than the other mattresses. And the crew will be sleeping where I will sleep which was comfortable but had not the same luxuries as the captain's quarters. However I need to see this ship through this storm so I chose to stay up until the storm breaks. "If someone wants to vomit or has a hard time then please use this" as I signaled a first aid kit "There will be a paper which have several symptoms in alphabetical order so just read and there will be next to the symptoms possible meds that you can use. Well, I'll be off to see the princesses if someone needs me I will be in the command center." I said as I went to where the princesses are resting. I explained the same things I said to the crew to the princesses and then said: "So Luna, Celestia, and Twilight anything I can get you or help you?"

"No, but we really need for you to talk to us as we have some questions besides who your special somepony is." Said Luna giggling. Hell, she doesn't want to drop it.

"Well, if you want to talk follow me to the conning tower."

"Why?" Said Twilight.

"Well, as being the captain of this ship I must steer and see through this storm, and of course be vigilant in case of an emergency or an enemy."

"Enemies? Ha, there are no enemies, my subject." Said Celestia.

"Well, there are the griffons to start off, then some random ships that are pirates or stuff and of course some training dummies, but for now I will not set them off instead they will be escorting us." I said as I signaled for everypony to follow me.

"What? How can dummies hurt somepony?" Twilight said.

"Well, firstly we are surrounded by a magic that protects us from damage to the shells so once the ship is sunk then we will be transported to the nearest ally ship or bay, that also applies when you are on deck and a shell hits you or a torpedo or a bomb so there is nothing to worry about. And well the ship automatically disappears. However, if you are not surrounded by this magic then I am afraid that you are indeed vulnerable to the weapons and therefore at risk of losing your life. Also, if you detect something in the air and you consider it friendly then the AA guns won't react but if you consider it an enemy then the AA guns will start to attack, there is also the choice of unknown where the AA guns will be pointing towards the target or targets but not shoot until that attacks you. This can also be applied to ships." We then entered the conning towers and I continued "Now everything is controlled with these buttons that you see around us so we don't need any other crew member."

"Wow. Ermm, Jorge what is that?" Luna said. I got close and saw where Luna pointed. Damn, some World War I ships specially it seems Japanese ships, their flags instead of Japan was the flag of the griffons. And so, I selected the ships and put them to unknown. We don't want to risk war just by rushing things. The secondaries of every ship where pointing towards the possible danger but the main turrets didn't react until I signal to do so. So, in order to show friendly activity I quickly get to a radio and said: "This is captain Real Estate, we are friendly and do not intend to engage, I repeat we do not want to engage." We waited some minutes but there was no response. Shit, I don't like where this is going. So I said to the whole ship: "All hands to deck. I repeat all hands to deck." With that the crew immediately went to the conning tower. And as soon as they arrived they looked to me worried.

"So, Captain, what are your orders?" Said Carrose Plight.

"Take positions there are six other chairs and each has your name so sit where your name is and wait for my orders." I said as they quickly got to their positions. "Now this will probably be our first fight so stay alert." When I finished the dreadnought responded.

"Kawachi here, we heard you loud and clear, we also don't want to engage." They said and with that the tense room relaxed.

"Don't relax yet, we don't know if they are lying." I said, "Shadow Reeve keep an eye out with the binocular and watch the main guns, if they are pointing at us then you immediately shout but if they keep their position, then you do nothing and still watch them until they are out of our sight." It was really hard to see since the waves and the rain blocked some of our vision however with the binoculars it is easy to see better. So, I steered to be directly diagonal of the opposing fleet to avoid any unnecessary dangers to the citadels. Some 5 hours passed and it was around 2:00 a.m. and the opposing fleet was no longer seen and the storm seemed to be settling in.

"Captain, the opposing fleet is gone there are no dangers." Said Shadow Reeve.

"You can now get back to sleep we will be waking up at 7:00 a.m." I said. And everypony left except the princesses.

"Well this didn't go to plan and we are really tired so see you later." Said Celestia as the three princesses head to my quarters. And with that another hour passes and the storm passed, the sea was calmer and there was no imminent danger in the skies and under the sea so I decided to put the ship in automatic and went to where I will sleep and out near me the alarm and set it up to 7:00 a.m. Shit, 4 hours of sleep well, could be worse. Hell, we could be still in a fight. And I sighed and went to sleep. A thought came racing to my head: Why don't you invite the other Mane 6 and Starlight to the ship? Maybe Twilight has a spell to see if they are changelings or not. I like that idea maybe I can catch the attention of Rainbow with this beauty of a ship. I slept on that thought.

Place: Somewhere in the Celestial Sea
Date: 7 days later, 1 of June of 2020
Hour: 8:00 a.m.

Everypony have been awoken by the horn of the Bismarck. I looked to the clock and it was the first day of June, yay. So I hurried everyone to get ready. We were all tired as we had a rough training in the night. The performance of the crew in this recent week has been amazing. In the first day of training the performance was around 60%, with more days we were able to increase it to 79%. Now will be great for the Mane 6 to join as they can be amazed by my leadership and our efforts. So I ran to where the princesses where and said: "Princesses, I had some thought and maybe it is better to let the rest of the Mane 6 to enter the ship. What are your thoughts?"

"Well, for my it is great. I do not have anything to argue." Said Twilight smiling.

"First, what can we do for us to know if they are changelings or not?" Said Celestia.

"Well, we could always employ a spell and make the process long since it is a rather expensive spell, in terms of time."

"Second, why now? Why not let them have the doubt of this ship and not tell anypony or creature?"

"Well, you are right on that however I think it is better for them to know as they may be our first line of defense so they need to feel backed up. And we all need a moment of party and relaxing." I said.

"Very well, Luna any thoughts?"

"No, I think it is a wonderful idea." Said Luna.

"Well, just let me see where are we exactly and then we will form a plan." I said as I went to the Conning Tower. "So, Shadow Reeve, where are we?"

"We are exactly 20 miles from Baltimare. And sir, Wonderbolts are surrounding us including Rainbow Dash." With that my heart skipped a beat. Great, a second impression pretty much failed. Then I thought what about Bonitte? She can hide my true identity and appear as a pony. Yeah, let's go with that.

"Signal them, they can land in the stern of the Bismarck. Power Glade, inform the princesses of this situation and tell them that please stay where they are until further notice." I said as Power Glade quickly went where the princesses where, then I directed myself to Bonitte: "Bonitte, please have a spell on me to appear as a pony."

"Yes captain." With that I was quickly made into a pegasus, actually my OC. I had a grey fur and my mane was a combination of two colours blue and green but they didn't mix to create a new colour and I had blueish eyes. Then I quickly made way to where the Wonderbolts landed, escorted by 3 members of my crew with guns.

"Welcome to the Bismarck, Wonderbolts. My name is Captain Odysseus." I said, "Ahh you must be Spitfire right?" I said as I quickly grabbed the hoof of Spitfire and kiss it, just like the royalty.

"Yes" Said Spitfire blushing.

"And of course, you must be the beautiful rainbow-maned pegasus and the fastest of Equestria, Rainbow Dash am I right?" I said as I grabbed the hoof of Rainbow and kissed her. I took a quick sniff. She smelt wonderful, a combination of sweat, and their natural odour of sweet stuff.

"Yes." Rainbow said blushing and astonished by my courtesy. While the stallions that accompanied these two mares where glaring at me.

"Well, cutting all kind of courtesies, what the hell are you doing here?" I said changing the tone of my voice. Surprising the Wonderbolts by the change of atmosphere.

"Well, we just-" As Spitfire was saying that, she was approaching me but my guards suddenly aimed at her and said: "Halt, don't step any further." But then I waved them off and relaxed.

"Sorry, but we are really worried because this is a secret mission employed to us by the princesses." I said.

"Where did you get this monstrosity of a boat?" Said Rainbow.

"This is why it is secret and we can't answer that question as it is confidential however, we can assure you we are friendly as you can see in our mast that we have the flag of Equestria" I said this hopping to fool them to not pry things much further as it can be a big deal to back up our friendship, "but well, I imagine you are hungry, come." As I guided the Wonderbolts I said to Carrose: "Go to the kitchen and there will be three foods those are for the princesses give it to them so they don't need to go to the kitchen." With that Carrose went and did as it was ordered.

"Well, here we are, so what do you want to eat? The menu is over there." I said as the Bismarck suddenly leaped and crashed in the waves making the Wonderbolts unstable and therefore falling.

"What happened?" Said Rainbow.

"Calm down, it was just a bigger wave that caused this it is not a big problem. We have endured tougher, trust me." I said as I begin taking orders and then handing the orders to everypony. We then started eating and Rainbow asked.

"So, ermmm… where exactly are we going?" Said Rainbow.

"Well, I thought about being 3 weeks in the ocean making our tour from Manehattan to Hippogriffia, however I think that with just this week it is enough. Since I have ground to cover in some things." I said "Therefore, I will set course to Baltimare and then we all go our separate ways. My crew to Canterlot since they also need to deal with somethings. Everypony please stay here no need to be alarmed in case of a strange movement as I will be changing course to the port in Baltimare," I said then continued in a muffled voice "If they even have one these bastards."

And so, finishing my food and putting everything in order I went to the helm and steered the helm to port (Left). And so, the Bismarck changed course rather vigorously as she was slamming hard to some waves while turning to the left. I could imagine the mess in the dinner hall and chuckled. And when the ship was finally in the right position I left the helm and walked to the dinner hall. And was quite amazed by the adaptability of my crew as they easily were able to control the change and the inertia while the Wonderbolts were having a hard time.

"Enough!!! We are out of here, this creature is mad and this thing is of the devil we will warn the princesses and have you quit from being the captain of this thing." Said Spitfire.

"May I remind you that if there was something I could do to make the travel more enjoyable I would have done so but everything that you experienced was out of my reach. Oh and say hi to the princesses if you are able to meet them in Canterlot." I said. Rainbow stayed and she eyed me.

"Jorge?" She said.

"What? Who is he? I-I don't know what you are talking about." I said nervously. Fuck maybe she won't notice this mishap of mine.

"Don't lie to me, are you really him? You smell quite similar if I may, I think you smell exactly the same." She said. My crew was holding their laugh from this dangerous and weird mare. Now this is interesting, how on earth was she able to differentiate smells? Maybe she is so onto me that she memorized my smell? Don't be stupid that is just nonsense. So I breathed and said:

"Well, that's rather curious as I had remembered that we had such passenger here, I think he is in the crew's quarters." I said as I was guiding her to the quarters.

"So, what are you doing in the middle of the ocean and in a strange boat as this?" She said.

"Well, we are reading ourselves for war, in case there is, and of course to train ponies to these types of ships not boats." I said. "And plus, she has a name and it is Bismarck, at least grant her that favor."

"She??? It has a name?" Said Rainbow astonished by the ridiculousness of the fact that a thing has a name.

"Of course and I appreciate it if you didn't hurt her feelings." I said as I caressed the deck. "Don't let her get into you beautiful." Rainbow was really uncomfortable by my actions. "Jajajaja, calm down I was just messing with you, however you need to know she has a name and whether you say it by her name or just by saying it doesn't matter. Ah, look we are finally here. Oh and by the way before entering won't you want to hear the guns?" I said

"Well, yeah, I am intrigued by those, Jorge." She said. And I shook by the boldness of Rainbow, jajaja she is just crazy and giving me a revenge from earlier. I really am sure she doesn't know I am Jorge in reality.

"W-What are y-you saying, Rainbow? I am not Jorge, I am Captain Odysseus." I said pouting and looking away from Rainbow.

"Mmmmm??" She said and when I looked to her she had devilish eyes and was looking at me playfully. "Are you sure you are not lying to me?" She was closing more and more on me. She was looking awfully sexy and in her eyes I saw lust and love. Holy shit, I can't endure, I have to divert her attention in order for me to escape. And plus, who is she? She is awfully weird. I hope right now there is no heat season because if there is then I am officially screwed although I could actually like this development. However, we are going way too fast and I personally would want to take things slower.

"Well, I'll fetch Jorge, wait here." I said, my heart was pouncing and racing hard. I pray that she can't listen my heart racing.

"Fine." She said pouting.

"Cute." I said murmuring, and I then realized what left my mouth and I was hoping she didn't get that. Then I quickly went in and then changed to my human version and waited a bit to make it a bit more real. And after waiting a minute or two I exited and saw Rainbow siting and when she saw me she smiled and said.

"Hey!!"

"Rainbow? What are you doing?" I said.

"Well…" She said blushing, "I thought you would like to hang out with me as your captain said you had nothing to do and you were free the whole day."

"But, aren't you in Wonderbolt patrol or something?"

"Well, I will inform Spitfire about this and my weather work has already been done. So, just stay here and I'll be back." She said as she sprinted and went to Spitfire.
