Sharklantean's Origin (Prologue)

The Ancient times of Equestria, were not what they are like now. Equestria is merely a content, on the beautiful earth like planet.....Equa. Many year's ago in Ancient time's, Starswirl the Bearded led a team who's original job was to explore the lore of their beautiful society. Unicorn's, Alicorn's, Pegasi, Earth Ponies, Siren's, Changeling's, Pixies, Draconqui, Dragon's, Manticore's, Hydra's, Sea Ponies, Kirin, and more that followed. The Siren's, and Sea Ponies were just the very beginning of what creature's came from the ocean's, and the other continent's across by sea. The first species that Starswirl encountered, was a powerful oceanic predator race that began to grow, and grow, and grow.

These creature's had stretched over mile's, and miles of ocean, and despite the other predator's that were massive giant's....these creature's remained the Apex Predator's of the ocean, and came to the place that would be Equestria for harvest. The beast's could breath out of water, and survived by feeding on the magic of lifeform's by devouring it from the meat of it's prey. These creature's chose Equestrian ponies as their diet, due to them having the most magic, generating in their bodies. Starswirl the bearded, and his friend's attacked these creature's head on, but their numbers were too many. Starswirl the bearded pleaded for help, as he activated a spell that summoned 4 Goddesses from the heaven's.

The Goddesses stopped the destruction, by freezing time, and speaking to Starswirl himself. The Goddesses explained that these creature's were a part of Equestria, and that they should be a part of this planet. After a long discussion they came to an agreement, as the Goddesses created a unique lifeform's that would breed, live, and forever roam Equestrian's ocean that would be the alternate food source of survival, for the Sharklantean's, out in the ocean.....Magic Seal's. Starswirl the Bearded kept the identities of these creature's a secret, and made sure that no one would explore the ocean's of Equestria.

The Goddesses themselves stayed on Equestria, taking a form they appreciated, and searched the ocean's of the planet. Thousand's of other continent's, and many different types of Sharklantean's were discovered in the wild, killing each other for food, or for territory. To seek peace, the Goddesses created four clan's to make a new home with both magic, and technology for these predatory creatures to have their own society. These four clan's were formed, and named by one of the Goddesses who watched over the clan's itself.

The first clan was comprised of most of the normal Sharklantean's, but they were trained in way's that weaponized their instinct, and the environment around them....becoming a powerful Nightstalker, like a silent werewolf that attacked in the night.....This, was the Predator Clan.

The second clan was comprised of the first types of Sharklantean like creatures that blessed Equestria's water's when the world was very, very young. Through time, these creature's have survived, and seemed to be the most powerful Sharklantean's with strength, and power on their side.....forming The Ancient Clan.

The third clan was comprised of strange Sharklantean Creature's that seemed to eat differently from the other Sharklantean's; unlike other's when they drained the magic from their prey's body, the magic was converted into dark magic for them to survive.....these weird, and most psychotic Sharklantean's formed......The Dark Clan.

The fourth, and final Sharklantean Clan consisted of powerful Sharklantean's who could wield the Element's of the planet that no one could repeat, and have power's that were hard for other's to rival......this, was The Elemental Clan.

With these four Sharklantean Clan's these creature's were able to live their own private life in the deepest darkest ocean's, never coming to Equestria's shore's....but time's changed. The Changeling's wanted to expand their hive to the other continent's to feed on the love from other creature's, outside the Equestrian continent domain. The most powerful Changeling, and what was left of her massive hives, took flight to said water's. A war broke out between the Sharklantean Clan's who were united to drive the Changeling's from their home's. The Sharklantean's were driven by instict alone, and with no females of these species to be there.....they were too powerful to stop.

The Changeling race, as arrogant as they were, had been completely eradicated by the powerful oceanic race of Sharklantean's. Most of these Changeling's became destroyed in the war, and as a result for punishment.....their last Queen......Chrysalis, and her hive were banished to the Badland's for exposing the Sharklantean's to Equestria, after Starswirl's agreement. Ashamed, by their loss in the war.....the last of the Changeling's....kept the Sharklantean's a mystery forever, and the Sharklantean's were once again able to live in peace......until now.

Author's Note

Prologue is optional for everyone else, and if you miss some key information from it.....too bad.

Chapter 1: Infection

The sound of being underwater was silent, and pleasuring. You could feel the movement of the ocean, push against you if you were swimming in these beautiful, yet exotic water's. The fish, and a Magic Seal were chirping, or swimming happily, as they enjoyed the amazing beautiful ocean with the water flowing around them. The fish then panicked, as they sensed the speed of a predator approaching, as they swam away with high speed's, as the Magic Seal also sensed this, and began fleeing for it's life. The Great White Sharklantean that had set it's eyes on it's prey....it's eyes going from pupil to full blank, blood red, as it's heightened instinct kicked in, chasing it's prey.

The Magic Seal darted left, and right, doing it's best to avoid the fast, ominous predator that had sought for it to be it's meal. The Sharklatean was bigger, and much faster, swimming side to side, until it's jaws opened, revealing the row's of razor sharp teeth coming from it's maw. A loud snap was heard, as the jaws of the Sharklantean took out the Magic Seal, ripping every fiber, and flesh from it's body, devouring it with ease. After eating it's meal, the sound of a ship being heard caught the Sharklantean's attention, as his senses, studied the sound of the engine before recognizing the Oceanic Colony ship, coming from one of these mini Continent's....heading desperately to Equestria.

This was the third aquafitted ship, that would go near the shore.....sink itself, then the survivor's would crawl ashore alive with Equestrian swimwear, that made it look like they were a bunch of Equestrian swimmer's who almost drowned at the beach. The Great White Sharklantean didn't exactly blame the colonist's, with what had been going on in these part's of the ocean recently, he didn't exactly blame them for leaving their homes to get to the Mainland. He just hoped none of them, were having the same problems his clan was having. The Great White Sharklantean snapped out of his thought's, and began to swim back to a secret place he knew.

The Great White Sharklantean had already finished his meal, as he came across what he had been looking for, and underwater tunnel that seemed to connect to a cave system. He continued swimming until he came across a metal door, as the underwater scanner's, scanned his body. After it recognized him the metal door opened, as oceanic water flooded out, before he swam inside, as the door shut behind him. The inner part of the tunnel on the opposite side of it held a metal door which led him to another big cavern that was completely underwater. The wall's were line with a pristine futuristic metal, as a hand scanner popped up, shaped for his claw's.

He placed his claw hand in, as the docking system accepted him, as a cheery robotic voice, spoke on the opposite side of the room. "Sharklantean Docking procedure complete, initiating draining protocol" The voice announced, as the water within the metal room began to drain completely, allowing him to stand on the metal surface. This Great White Sharklantean's name......was Creature.
Creature stood up in the huge, now dry docking area that was his home, the water dripping off of his wet, oceanic, muscular body, his eyes turning from blood red, to normal eyes.

His Shark tail hit the ground with a loud thump, as he began walking through the underground civilization of his clan. He continued throughout the nice beautiful corrider's, and only spotted the royal Sharklantean's among places, here, and there. Other than the guard's, and himself the place was very much empty, and there was a very good reason why. A year ago, this place was full of Sharklantean life, now it was almost completely abandoned. Creature was about to check the new's report, only for it to be shut down, as one of the guard's stopped him. "Creature.....her majesty want's an audience.....please wait in the pool waiting room."

The Sharklantean told him, as Creature gave him a nod. He went into another waiting room, as he came across what used to be a nice area. The plant's in the room were dead, and the future tech inside looked broken, or cracked. Blood had smeared the wall's, as he noticed the huge pool of water that was now a mixture of blood, and water, as the normal ocean water spring was now a sinister looking crimson pool. Creature looked at the water itself, as he grabbed a small rock that was sitting on the ground. He threw the stone into the pool, as it sank deep into the pool. A weird bubble sound was heard, as a foul smell hit the air within minutes.

Multiple dead fish, and sea life bubbled from the pool, all of them having strange splotches of rotting skin on them, that had multiple bloodied holes. These dead fish were not only dead, but their bodies would twitch every so often, as he watched them stay afloat. Creature knew what was going on, and those fish weren't always like that...nearly 3 years ago, an infection began to spread throughout the ocean, that was very deadly. This infection was not only unnatural, but it was a plague deadlier than Cutiepox, and Swamp Fever. This infection had two sources of spreading....one would be the beginning of the infection, the other when someone was infected.

The infection would start out in one source.....water. Any body of water it would spread, and while other animal's got the best out of the infection.....Sharklantean's, and Equestrian species got the worst. This virus had 5 stages of infection, each one of them horrible in it's own way. This virus was called the Tryphoceaus Virus, and it was a deadly plague.

The first stage was strange rotting pieces of skin, with tiny hole's that would beat like a heart, as if it was alive. The skin crawled, making it uncomfortable, and make you lose blood, but also keep giving you water to survive. The holes would be tiny, and not cause much bleeding.

The second stage was when it got worse, after having three of these massive holes along your body, as you lost blood, while also being given more water, you would lose the ability to speak, you could barely even move your mouth, as you sat there in infected silence, unable to eat any of the food's you want.

The third stage you would have five of these holes on your body, all of them grown super big, and bleeding excessively, yet the virus would give you the same amount of water, as much blood as you were currently losing. Among this, you would also lose the ability to move your limb's, or go anywhere.

The fourth stage.....was death, your body would pass away, and the virus would stop giving your body water, and instead be giving you a special mutation in your brain.

The final stage of the infection, was not only would you mutate into a bloody, zombie mess, but the infection would turn you into the living dead, and you then had the ability to spread the infection to un-infected individual's. The Sharklantean's, and even the Equestrian's out among the Oceanic Colonies were trying to do everything they could to stop the infection, by coming up with a cure.....but the clan's had already been infected with the virus before they could even begin the cure itself, and now it was everywhere....and it would not stop until it reached Equestria's shore....before infecting the ocean first.

Creature knew this, as he snapped from his thought's again, as the final Sharklantean approached with him, as he spoke. "The Mistress will see you now" The guard spoke, as Creature nodded, following him to the royal throne of the civilization, where the Goddess of his clan was sitting. He bowed to the beautiful Goddess who changed her name from Venus.....to Veun to be a part of this society.

Even though she had chosen a deer body, she found her form to be both, cute, beautiful, and quite sexy. Veun looked down at Creature upon seeing him, as she spoke. "There is no time for pleasantries, My little Sharklantean....I need to talk, and show you something right away" Veun told him, as he immiedietly stood up, and gave her a nod. He walked with her to the huge Quarantine room, where all of the Infected Sharklantean's were, as they roared...trying to claw, and bash their way through the door, with nearly no avail. Veun looked at him, as she spoke. "Two of our clan have gone missing from this area....my guess is, they know what's up. The last civilian Sharklantean of the Predator Clan has reached infection a few day's ago.....and now he is about to enter the final stage...."

Veun explained, as Creature turned to her, and began to speak. "Then I'm the last civilian who was just a hunter in my job to be un-infected" Creature realized, as Veun nodded herself.

"Not only that, but one of our guard's has already been scanned and infected.....the Clan is no longer safe.....and neither am I, it's all come down to you Creature" Veun told him, as he stepped up to her....a bit hesitant, but having to go through this either way.

"What must be done?" Creature asked, as Veun spoke.

"Since this place will soon be a full on infection break out....you must leave immiedietly....I want you to swim to the Mainland, as fast as you can, and never look back. There I want you to use every ounce of instinct to survive, and recruit the best, and the most trustworthy team, so that you can return's to these water's, and free not just your own clan, but the other clan's as well. Once you've done that.....journey the entire planet with your team if you have to in order to create a cure for this plague." Veun ordered, as Creature bowed gently, before speaking.

"What's going to happen to you?" Creature asked, as Veun spoke.

"The minute you leave I will use all my magic, and energy to return my spirit to the heaven's, and this mortal flesh, and body....will end up destroying itself.....Good luck Creature....we are all depending on you" Veun told him, as Creature nodded, as he went back to the docking bay he had come in. The heavy steeled glass that allowed someone to see in, showed Veun giving him a small wave, goodbye. That was the last he saw of her, as a futuristic metal shielding protected the glass from shattering from the water that was about to flood the room.

He turned to the docking bay door's, as he took a deep mental breath, as his eyes went from normal....to instinct, blood red. The muscles in his body were rippled, as his vein's cracked, and his blood boiled. His teeth now looked sharper, and he looked monstrous, as a robotic voice spoke. "Now initating, leaving procedure" The voice spoke, as huge valves opened up, flooding the room full of water. Creature heard the magic of Veun leaving her body, and the sound of all the Infected Sharklantean's about to break free from quarantine....the last civilian Sharklantean, reaching the final stage of infection.

Creature could only make out everything in blood red, able to identify everything that his heightened instinct's could. He needed for the place to fill faster, as the room was halfway full. He heard the roaring of the Infected Sharklantean's, battling the Sharklantean guard's before all sound was cut-off, as the sealed room was submerged in water. The metal door opened, and he rode the powerful current out, as he sprinted out into the Equestrian ocean with full speed, not bothering to stop, until he reached the only place, he could survive.

*****
The full moon seemed to glow over the dark, closed beach of Manehattan. Creature submerged from the oceanic water completely, as he looked around, his only instinct being of survival. He looked at the big city, and didn't like the look of that place to stay there. The Sharklantean growled, as he leaped high into the air, and charged across miles of terrain, before coming across his intended target. He searched far, and wide before finding a forest not far from Ponyville with a nice waterfall, and freshwater lake. Creature had dipped into the water's, and created a burrow that led to his own cavern, where he would live.

It wasn't like his home....but it was the only comfortable taste of survival. Being a Great White Sharklantean, Creature hated the taste of freshwater, or swimming in it, but it was the only place for his survival....and his only food source, was of the small town of ponies for him to feed on.

Author's Note

Unless you've seen them fully on another sight, I would recommend watching all the link's in the story, and if you came here choosing to skip the prologue, and miss something, or a few thing's, then I'lk point it out

Chapter 2: Cry of the Sharklantean

The beautiful unicorn mare had sat at home with her computer, as she finished writing one of her best selling novel's. Her house was nice, and she had lived with her coltfriend for a very long time. Of course that's what she would have looked like on the outside if it wasn't for the adventures she had gone through the past few year's. She had met a gender swapped version of herself, and helped him, and his marefriend swap of her coltfriend get home, while having sexy hijinks along the way, and killing an evil spirit along the way with her own magic. She also did the same with another mare who needed her help, and one of her bestest, and lewdest friend's....also had an adventure of her own.

That mare managed to re-form a certain Changeling Queen, and had also formed her own hive with Cadence, involving the help of Shining Armor. Granted, it drew the attention of a few demon's here, and there, but overall they managed to defeat them, and made the hive survive. This mare, was Lotus Moon.
Lotus Moon was still working on the writing on her computer, while listening to the music on the beautiful headphone's that Vinyl Scratch had given to her, when she, and her coltfriend had a small anniversary party....which didn't go unnoticed by Pinkie Pie.

Lotus had gotten used to that, and to this town. Her coltfriend was working at the library, and was going to be getting home a little late. Lotus didn't mind this at all, because it lead to some romantic night's of sex that she enjoyed blissfully with him. True he may be a bit shy when doing it, but she alway's found him to be adorable. Lotus had let her mind drift for a small bit, to places it shouldn't have gone, but she shook it off, as she continued writing, until she was done. Lotus had finished another Chapter, and her brain felt muey gooey....she took off the Clark Kent reading glasses, as she sighed mentally, looking away from the screen.

Lotus had enough, as she saved the recent file to her computer, as she went to the fridge, and pulled out a leftover hayburger that she had. Lotus Moon licked her lip's, and began eating, enjoying the hayburger with the specific topping's she wanted, and her most favorite brand of soda. She had been hearing some rumor's of ponies disappearing, but she payed this no mind, for now, and continued eating her meal. Lotus Moon helped read a book, while eating her meal. She drank some apple cider that she enjoyed which she got from her refrigerator, and somehow managed to turn the light's off before passing out from getting drunk.

*****
Creature was dragging the deceased unicorn mare throughout the area, trying to find a place to sit down, and enjoy his meal. He couldn't vanish back to the forest, as he did his best to avoid the townsfolk who were outside at night, as he dragged the dead body with him. He soon came across a house that seemed rather simple, and a bit near the forest he was living at. He checked the door's to see if it was unlocked to no avail. He needed to get inside, and he needed to do it fast. He went near the back of the house, and found a cellar door for him to climb into.

Creature went down this cellar, finding a bunch of barrel's of hard apple cider, and other beverages. He journeyed up the cellar, and into the house before checking to see if no one was home. He took his corpse to the bathroom, and silently got into the tub, leaving the door cracked. Finally, able to enjoy his meal, Creature looked down at his hunted prey, as he began sinking his big teeth into the corpse, and began devouring his meal....growling, and snarling as he did what he could to survive.

*****
Lotus had woke up with a hangover, as she shook it off, and soon managed to collect her thought's, and remembered that she drank some of her favorite apple cider, and passed out, leaving her with a big, happy smile on her face. She was about to go to sleep, when she heard these weird noises coming from her downstair's bathroom. Strange....what is that noise.....what time is it? Lotus thought to herself, as she looked at the clock. Her coltfriend still had 30 minutes before he got home, as she continued listening to the strange noise coming from her downstairs bathroom. Did he get home early? Why did he go in the bathroom first, what exactly is he doing in there? Lotus pondered.

She got up, not bothering to cover herself, as she was in her undegarment's, and journeyed downstair's before noticing that the door to the bathroom was cracked open, and the light's were on, still hearing the strange, awful sound. What the hell is that noise, and why is it coming from my bathroom? Lotus Moon asked herself in thought, as she continued downstair's, quietly before coming across the door. She could barely make out what was going on, as she opened the door fully to see what was going on. Lotus Moon's heart dropped, her eyes widened with fear of what she had seen.

Instead of expecting, her coltfriend, or some form of her electrical equipment of her's on, and under a piece of furniture, making the loud noise.....a 9 foot tall Anthromorphic Great White Shark that was tearing the flesh off a Equestrian Unicorn's corpse, chewing the pieces of flesh, and swallowing it, as it was dining on the meal. It had sensed Lotus Moon, opening, and currently standing near the doorway of the bathroom, as it had stopped eating, and turned it's head to her, it's glowing red eyes staring at Lotus Moon, blood dripping from it's maw. The towering, unknown predatory beast, stood up at it's full height, and let out a loud, thundering roar.

Lotus Moon shrieked, as she ran out of the bathroom, using her magic to attack the huge Sharklantean. She used her most powerful, and toughest spell's, but since this was creature that fed on being's with Equestrian Magic.....it was also un-affected by the magic she was shooting at him. The Sharklantean who not only had chased after her, roared, as he continued his pursuit. Lotus Moon, really didn't have anywhere to hide upstairs, and decided to do something sneaky. She went into a secret corner of her room, and used a spell to make herself invisible. The massive towering beast, stormed upstair's, and came to a stop, as Lotus Moon covered her loud breathing.

The Sharklantean scanned the room with his blood vision, her spell keeping her safe from being spotted by his impressive eye sight. Just what is this thing....I've never seen it before, I'd be more interested in studying it if it wasn't trying to eat me Lotus thought to herself, as the Sharklantean continued scanning the room. The Sharklantean stopped short, as he raised his huge snout high into the air, and began sniffing for her scent. Lotus Moon's eyes widened in horror, as a new thought came across her mind. THERE'S NO WAY......He can't possibly...... Lotus's mind stuttered, as the Sharklantean sniffed her out.

Lotus Moon, barely saw the attack coming, as it attacked like a shark in water, it's speed immiedietly increased when one of it's senses locked on it's prey. The creature attacked, as she jumped out of the way. The Sharklantean managed to get a small nibble on her left shoulder, near her neck before slamming into the wall, missing her. HOW DID HE KNOW!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Lotus internally screamed, as the Sharklantean got it's jaw unstuck, spitting out wood, as it roared...angrily chasing her. Lotus Moon was able to run downstair's with the Sharklantean close behind her. He used his long claw's, and gave her a painful swipe, as she crashed into the bottom kitchen cupboard's.

Lotus Moon groaned loudly, as she did her best to shake the powerful hit off, as the Sharklantean closed in on her with a powerful growl. The toaster had unplugged from the electrical cord's that coursed with small bit's of electricity. Lotus Moon getting an idea, grabbed the cord's, and jammed them into the Sharklantean's chest. The Sharklantean roared in pain, as many volt's of electricity coursed through it's body. The Great White Sharklantean stumbled backward, as it regained it's composure, as it roared at her angrily before launching itself through her roof, and vanished into the night.

Lotus was panting heavily before feeling her eyes getting weak, as she blacked out.

*****
Lotus Moon could barely make out the voices that were calling to her, until she fully opened her eyes, as an Equestrian police officer's voice rang out to her, as she re-gained consciousness. "Miss.....are you alright?" The mare asked, as Lotus Moon woke up before looking at the mare, and remembering what had happened.

"Yeah....I'm alright....ugh" Lotus Moon groaned, as she held her head, as the mare spoke.

"Ma'am do you know exactly what happened here?" The officer, asked, as Lotus looked at her before speaking with a lingering question in her mind.

"Who....called you?" Lotus Moon asked, as the mare stepped back, as her coltfriend ran up to her, and gave her a big hug.

"LOTUS.....LOTUS YOUR ALRIGHT!!!!!!!!" Her coltfriend panicked, as she held him, relishing that he was safe, and that he came home.

"I'm alright Saphirus, and I'm glad your okay" She smiled, as she let the warmth of her coltfriend's body be close to her. After their hug, and a romantic kiss between the two, Saphirus was the first to speak. "Lotus what happened?" He asked, as Lotus replied, as the officer also listened with keen interest.

"I....had woken up, after one of my late night routines, from working on my next novel, and began hearing an awful noise coming from the downstair's bathroom.....that's when....it attacked me." Lotus explained, as Saphirus, and the officer gave her a peculiar look.

"What....attacked you?" The officer asked, as Lotus Moon answered to the best of her ability.

"I don't know....I've never seen anything like it....it was a huge, shark like creature that had arm's, leg's, and could breath out of water....it was fast, and terrifying with very keen senses. I never was able to understand more, I shocked it with exposed wiring from my toaster, and it took off running." Lotus Moon explained, as the officer spoke again.

"What about the dead Unicorn body we found in that tub?" The officer asked, as Lotus reply.

"That apparently was it's meal....before it attacked me, it was eating the ponies, corpse" Lotus explained, as the officer sighed.

"Judging by the very little of decay, she was killed very recently, no doubt by the creature you two saw" The officer said, as the sound of the front door opening was heard, as a suited, bat pony royal guard walked in. Saphirus recognized her, as one of the highest ranking field officer's who was known for taking over, military operation's. This bat pony mare.....was Echo. Echo walked into the house, as she spoke to the police officer.

"Although it is very kind of you to help, officer, I need you to relay every single bit of information to me, as soon as possible" Echo told the mare, as she scoffed in both disbelief, and also sounding offended.

"WHAT THE HELL IS THE MEANING OF THIS.....WHY ARE YOU GETTING INVOLVED!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!" The officer shouted, as Echo spoke.

"Becasue in case you didn't figure it out yet, had you payed attention, you would have known that the unicorn that was killed, dragged, and being eaten in that tub, was one of the Solar Royal Guard's for Princess Twilight Sparkle....and since something killed a guard in their sleep, then this is now a full on investigation, especially if her best friend is still friend's with Shining Armor" Echo spoke, as the mare shouted, clearly angry.

"THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!!!!!!!" She shouted, as Echo walked up to her, staring her deep in the eye, and growled.

"This is called, protocol......DEAL WITH IT!!!!!!!" Echo hissed, as the officer let out the equivalent of mini grumbles of annoyance that was sometimes heard from Princess Twilight Sparkle. The officer gave Echo what Lotus has told her, as Echo theorized the situation.

"Lotus....Saphirus, you have made friend's with us before, but just this once is it okay if you come to me with Canterlot....I may have to sort this situation out for the Princess herself." Lotus Moon stood up, knowing full well that she was going to get herself into another adventure.....probably the biggest one she had ever had before staring Echo in the eye, and spoke.

"I.....am willing to go, if your wanting to go with me?" She asked Saphirus, as her coltfriend gave her a smile.

"If your going on another adventure Lotus, then I am making sure I ain't sitting this one out.....of course I'll go with you" Saphirus told her, before pulling her in for a quick kiss, that they enjoyed before separating from it, and preparing for their departure to Canterlot

*****
Twilight Sparkle did not like the situation she was presented with, or heard of. After all these year's before she was given Celestia, and Luna's throne with Spike as her ambassador....a new Equestrian creature show's up. Where did it come from? Where does it live? Does this thing feed on ponies? These question's were troubling to hear of the most, as she had castle that had been formed here for quite sometime. Lotus, and Saphirus were summoned to Twilight's castle due to being the only one's who survived the incident.

Twilight Sparkle sighed mentally, waiting forever for the council she had summon to finally arrive. The first mare that appeared from the Crystal Empire was an old friend of Twilight Sparkle, as she beamed with joy. "CADENCE!!!!!!!!" Twilight Sparkle cried, as Cadence saw Twilight Sparkle, and returned the smile of joy before running up, and hugging her best friend happily before both of them began their little nutty dance.

"Sunshine, sunshine ladybugs awake...clap your hand's, and do a little shake" They both said in unison before giggling like two school fillies, as they talked, and got each other caught up with their kingdoms. After this the two seemed to be unnerved, as Cadence spoke.

"Is it really true, that a new Equestrian species has been discovered, and had eaten said guard, and attacked a respectful friend of the reformed hives?" Cadence asked, as Twilight Sparkle nodded.

"Indeed, I checked the body myself, and had Fluttershy investigate the corpse...she said that the only thing that could cause bitemark's like that was the Equestrian creature that Lotus Moon saw" Twilight answered, as Cadence sighed.

"Where could a creature like that even come from, is it true that the other forest near Equestria has never been explored?" Cadence asked, as Twilight sighed.

"That might be it's hiding spot, as for where it lives.....I don't know....which is why I summoned the council for this" Twilight Sparkle answered, as she, and Cadence went to the same room, where the meeting would be held. A third party showed up, as a rather thicc, but also slender Changeling appeared who immiedietly rushed up to Lotus, and inspected her entire body.

"Lotus, are you okay, is your feet okay, is your body okay.....ARE YOU OKAY!?!?!?!?!?!?" The Changeling shouted, as Lotus Moon calmed her best friend down.

"Don't worry Lovebug, I'm fine, it's SOOOO Nice to see you....." Lotus smiled, as both of them gave a quick peck on each other's cheek's, as Lovebug smiled.

"It's nice to see you to marefriend" Lovebug smiled, before noticing Saphirus.

"SAPHIRUS!!!!!" She smiled, as she gave him a huge hug, while letting burying his entire face into her cleavage, as Saphirus was doing his best not to blush, as he let out a muffled response. She yanked him out of her cleavage, as his face was rather red with embarrassment.

"I-I-It's nice to see you again Lovebug, glad to see your doing okay" Saphirus chuckled awkwardly, as Lotus Moon had a rather jealous pouty face, but this was considered normal, because Lovebug liked poking fun at Lotus Moon whenever she could. Lovebug had exchanged stories with the two, while including some gossip here, and there which let them connect once again. Lovebug began heading to the conference room, as she took in a deep sigh.

"I'm not going to like this....not one bit" Lovebug muttered to herself before entering the conference room, and taking her seat.

"Ah, Lovebug Sektiss.....it's good to see that you can join us, and help us at least get started" Twilight Sparkle explained, as Lovebug Sektiss sighed, putting her feet on the huge conference table.

"I would at least hear you out Twilight Sparkle, but it would help if the other Queen was here" Lovebug Sektiss told her, as Twilight Sparkle had a growl in her voice.

"I summoned, BOTH OF YOU, Where is she? Twilight Sparkle snarled, as Lovebug Sektiss gave her, a weird look.

"That's the thing, I contacted Chrysalis a while ago, and even sent a friend of mine to investigate, according to the response I got....she didn't seem like.....herself, she seemed distant" Lovebug Sektiss explained, until the familiar Changeling Queen herself came in with a rather downed look on her face, as she mumbled that she was here, then took a seat without another word.

"Chrysalis, are you alright?" Twilight asked, as Chrysalis looked up with a defeated look on her face. Although Twilight, and Cadence were at first uncomfortable with Chrysalis being reformed, they eventually got used to her even if she still was a lewd one, but that didn't really matter. Chrysalis looked up, at Twilight Sparkle, as she looked all of them deeply in the eyes.

"I am....and am not, I know that we are here to discuss about the creature that killed the guard that we found dead, and I know that it's hiding in that forest, and that we are choosing on the vote of to capture, or kill it. I vote the first option, but also won't complain if we resort to the second one....because I know what it is" Chrysalis told them, as Lovebug Sektiss gave her a unique stare.

"How can you know what that thing is....Changeling's have never seen the type of creature that Lotus saw" Lovebug Sektiss pondered, as Chrysalis turned to her, and spoke.

"Oh, but we have Sektiss, even when you grew up in our hive, I'm surprised you didn't sneak into my old library just to find out more of Changeling history" Chrysalis smiled, giving her a teasing grin.

"What exactly is this beast Chrysalis?" Cadence asked, as Chrysalis let out a deep sigh before speaking.

"It's called a Sharklantean....we discovered them many years ago, when my species sought to explore more of Equestria than just this continent. Beyond Manehatten's ocean there is an entire world of life, and oceanic life in way's that my species had never seen before. They wanted to feed on the love of all the creatures out there, and make the biggest Changeling Empire, and hive for them to use. Sadly the biggest race that not only caused them to bring them to the brink of extinction is the very same race of creature that attacked Lotus Moon....the Sharklantean's" Chrysalis explained, as Lovebug spoke.

"Why wasn't this story told in hive school?" Lovebug Sektiss asked, as Chrysalis turned to her, and spoke.

"Because it was marked as the biggest, humiliating defeat in Changeling history, and the near complete destruction of the entire Changeling race, and was the reason we were banished to the Badland's.....besides, it was a war between the two that was fought.....and it wasn't pleasant" Chrysalis replied, looking down at herself with shame, and guilt plastered all over her face.

"If it's from the farthest of Equestria's ocean, than what the hell is it doing here, and why did it attack, and eat one of Twilight's guard's?" Cadence asked, as Chrysalis looked up at them, and replied.

"I don't know....in fact I really don't know much about that species which is why I suggest capturing, and studying it with all our capability....perhaps we can get our answer's." Chrysalis replied, as Lovebug Sektiss, and Twilight nodded.

"Agreed, if we capture this creature we can put it in a tank, and see if we can study it with ease" Twilight Sparkle told them, as Cadence for some reason felt a little uneasy before speaking.

"I'm in, although for some reason there's a part of me that is thinking that this is a bad idea." Cadence told them, as they all began to prepare a search party to find this Sharklantean.

*****
Everyone had made sure that they carried sword's, and spear's just in case as a back up, while many carried a few net's, and a cage to bring it back. Saphirus was defiently going to learn more about this creature, and Sektiss, and Chrysalis were also going just in case thing's would go south. Saphirus was getting his stuff ready before seeing Lotus Moon following close behind him. "Lotus what do you think your doing?" Saphirus asked, as Lotus spoke.

"I'm going with you" Lotus told him, as Saphirus spoke.

"Like hell you are....that thing almost killed you when it was trying to eat that pony.....and now you want to go straight into it's DEN!?!?!?!?!?!?" Saphirus told her, as Lotus Moon gave him an ice gold glare at him, while placing her hand's on her hip's.

"I am curious about this creature that they want to capture, and if my coltfriend is risking his life to ensure it's capture, and study then I am going with you, whether you like it, or not" Lotus Moon puffed, as Saphirus could not argue with his marefriend, as he sighed.

"Fine" He spoke, as Lotus prepared herself for the short forest exploration in the night sky.

*****
Creature was a bit angry not being able to finish his meal, but he was glad to be able to eat what he could. Too hungry, and unable to devour his primary food source, he swam in the fresh water's, hunting, and eating the fish that swam in the huge lake he had. He really hated how tiny the magic was inside their bodies, but he still needed to feed. No matter how much he ate, his body was starving of feasting off magic. His hunger didn't make him think straight, times he wanted to snap back to his civil self....but couldn't. The pain in his belly continued to ache for magic, and food. He looked up at the sky, his blood vision returning, and his heightened instinct kicking in for a source of food.

Creature's Sharklantean senses went off, as his blood instinct's detected many Equestrian life form's approaching.....two of them very familiar that he did not want to deal with, but right now.....he needed to feed, and drive the intruder's from his survival home.

Chapter 3: Hunting A Sharklantean

Many of the guard's went behind the confines of certain houses to go into the wood's that housed the strange beast that lurked within it. Lotus Moon, and Saphirus followed close behind Chrysalis, and Lovebug, as they were on the heaviest guard, along with the soldier's who sketched the wood's. Lovebug, and Chrysalis planned to capture this beast, no matter the cost. Although the two Changeling's did not like tracking a powerful creature without their signature battle armor it was the best that they could do. Saphirus had brought his powerful metal gloves with signature taser's, while Lotus besides her magic had her own weapon.

Lotus carried a rather light, metal bo-staff that did it's job. Not only was she good at wielding it, but her skill with it was very deadly. The two followed close behind, as they went looking for the Sharklantean. Creature had been expecting his enemies, and in his state....his instinct's new exactly how to handle the situation. Everypony went deeper, and deeper into the wood's, as the guard's continued scanning the area. One of the guard's searched in the area before coming to a halt at the base of a tree. At the top of said tree, Creature's eyes opened, as he hung from the top of it, upside down, like a spider.

His eyes glowed, as he reached down, and yanked the guard into the tree. The entire pony's head was in Creature's mouth, as he began chewing on him, trying to eat him whole. Creature was only able to eat his head, before spitting him out, letting the body fall to the ground. The other's heard the loud plump, as they saw the headless deceased guard. "We.....are being hunted" Chrysalis told them, as everypony tried to back into each other in a circle, not wanting to venture further. They each heard the sound of something moving in the trees, but they could not see it in time. Creatures eyes opened again from a new spot on a bush near his enemies.

Creature's attack came out of nowhere with the help of his heightened senses, as a powerful punch defeated one of the royal guard's. Many guard's attempted to subdue the Sharklantean, but the Sharklantean was very powerful, as he punched all three of them back. Saphirus charged in, as he gave a powerful punch to the Sharklantean's face with his powerful metal glove. Creature took the hit, as his claw's dug into the dirt, anchoring himself from the powerful hit. Creature stood tall, as Saphirus cracked his neck before grinning. "Let's dance tough guy" He smiled, as the Sharklantean roared back at him. Lotus came out of nowhere, staff in hand, as she gave him a powerful whack to the face with her staff.

Creature shook the hit off, as Saphirus charged in with his glove pulsing with electricity. His senses kicked in, as Creature leaped an entire mile high into the sky before landing in a spider man like pose behind the entire remaining search party, and roared. Chrysalis, and Lovebug stared at him with their magic charging up. Creature immedietly recognized the species that Chrysalis, and Lovebug Sektiss were as it roared out a single word, in a monstrous fleshy voice. "IIIIIIIMMMMMPUUUUUURRRRRREEEEESSSS!!!!!!!!!"

Creature thundered, as he looked at Lovebug Sektiss, and Chrysalis with a powerful hatred. The Changeling's fired a unique magical beam, which Creature dodged with ease. He charged forward, and headbutted Lovebug hard, sending the Changeling mare crashing into multiple guard's, and into a tree. Chrysalis used her wing's to hover, as she used her magic to force Creature back. The Sharklantean growled, as he charged at Chrysalis. She fired more magic, but he slid underneath each blast, and quickly lept into the sky, giving her many hyper slashes with his claw's, and roundhouse kicking her to the ground.

Chrysalis slammed into the dirt hard, as she groaned trying to get up. Many of the royal guard's charged the Sharklantean, only for him to split many of them in half, as his claw's were drenched in blood, as well as his jaw from earlier. Lovebug managed to jump up, not out of the fight yet, and resorted to Changeling spell's. Lotus Moon, and Saphirus also stood next to her, as they were the only hope of catching this beast. Creature faced the three of his opponent's, and let out a thundering roar. The four went into a powerful, skilled battle.

Lovebug used her camouflage to change into a Minotaur, as she charged in first. Creature was in the war against the Changeling's a long time, as he dodged Lovebug's blow, and gave her a powerful punch, knocking Lovebug back, and forcing her to reverse into her Changeling form. Lotus Moon, struck Creature with powerful whack's from her staff, as she bashed him heavily, making blood spew from his maw. Saphirus followed her attack, as he gave Creature a powerful bash with his gloved fist, then used it's de-tach rocket mode to slam the glove in a fist form to bash Creature back even more, before the gloves returned to him.

Creature shook off the hit's, and thought of a new strategy. He rushed at Lotus Moon with blinding speed, and backflip kicked her high into the air, before twisting his body, and giving Saphirus a powerful punch in the face, knocking him into the ground. A blast of Changeling magic from Lovebug, knocked Creature out of the air, and into many trees ahead. They all managed to get up, and pursued to where Creature had landed. Creature got back up from the ground, and roared loudly before recognizing where he was. He had been knocked back into the survival home he made into the lake, as he smiled being near a healthy body of water.

Creature backflipped into the fresh water, and submerged in it, before channeling all of his speed of his Shark genes from the water itself. He dove down, and made a huge u-turn before accelerating, and bursting out of the water with his jaw opened. He tackled Saphirus into the ground, as he bit into his shoulder. Creature used his big foot, to keep Saphirus pinned, and gave him two nasty clawed slashes. "SAPPPPHHHYYYYY" Lotus Moon screamed fearfully, as she ran full speed, leaping high into the air, and put all of the strength in her body, to slam the staff into Creature's face. Creature was knocked off Saphirus, and into the ground.

Saphirus stood up, his face bloodied with the slashes from the Sharklantean. Creature began to get up, until another spell attack from Lovebug pushed him back. Saphirus got up, and despite his bloodied face charged in. He used the energy in his gloves to shock the Sharklantean as it roared in pain. Creature was on his knees, as Lovebug Sektiss used magical ropes to subdue the Sharklantean, as Saphirus shocked the ropes with the electricity in his gloves. Creature's body jerked from the electrocution, as he roared in pain before collapsing to the ground unconscious. It took many lives of the guard, but they finally had the strange creature in custody.

They got back, dragging the unconscious Sharklantean in a net, as they checked on everyone. Many of the guard's were killed, and some were wounded. Chrysalis was a bit battered, and bruised, but fine. Lotus Moon was going to patch Saphirus up, while Lovebug would help interrogate the beast.

*****
Creature's mind returned from the depth's of the darkness that flooded him, as he woke up from his battle. His instinct's kicked in, trying to determine what was going on. He saw himself in a huge containment area with steel that it looked like even he couldn't break. He also noticed a small body of water, that was not as big as the lake, but rather a small pool. Seeing he was in captivity with no escape, his instinct's new he was at death's door now, and thus let his consciousness return to his body, not planning on surviving at all. Creature remembered everything about what had happened, in his instinct clouded mind.

Creature merely went near the corner, and sat down, his head pressing against the wall, feeling no hope at all. Chrysalis, and Lovebug Sektiss watched from the invisible glass, seeing him not moving at all. "That's weird....he's not moving at all, maybe we can have him warm up to his new home" Chrysalis thought, as Saphirus who had been patched up, thank's to his marefriend was jotting down notes. Lotus Moon watched with them, as she stared at Creature who layed in the corner. She saw a look in it's eyes that she could almost relate to at one point. For a huge beast, he looked defeated, broken.....un-apprecieated.

Lotus Moon had her fare share of hater's in life, and sometimes it drove her to day's where she would break down, sit in a corner, and want nothing to do with anyone. On some occasion's Saphirus would really comfort her, or sometimes she would get a call from Setkiss to cheer her up, and even receive letter's from her fan's with heartfelt sentences that helped brighten up her day. The look on Creature's face that Lotus Moon saw....said it all. Lotus Moon looked at Chrysalis, as she watched with extreme interest with Twilight Sparkle, and Cadence.

"Wow....interesting, it's a very interesting creature, but it's also a predator" Twilight Sparkle realized, as she observed him like a fish in an aquarium.

"Whoa.....I can't believe it, but you were right.....a huge, shark creature" Cadence gasped, as she looked at it with extreme interest. Cadence's horn then glowed, as she let out a pained, emotional gasp before speaking. "Twilight.....the feeling's I'm sensing from it is......."

".....Destroyed.....defeated, un-apprecieated" Lotus Moon finished, as all of the other's turned to look at Lotus, who looked at the Sharklantean with unknown thought's in his mind.

"But.....can a thing like that be....intelligent?" Sektiss asked, as Saphirus gave her a deadpanned look.

"It roared a sentence at us in the wood's, so my guess is yes" Saphirus growled, as Lovebug let out a pouty whine in response. Lotus Moon turned to Twilight Sparkle before speaking.

"M-My lady, I know what I'm about to ask I would normally lead to Fluttershy to do this, but can I talk to it....from inside?" Lotus asked, as Saphirus gave her a worried look.

"L-Lotus.....d-do you really think that's a good idea?" Saphirus asked, as Lotus walked up, and looked him deep in his eyes.

"I have to Saphy......" Lotus told him, as she looked through the glass, and at Creature before speaking. ".....I just can't stand seeing that look on anyone's face.....even if it belongs to a monster" She spoke to him before bravely entering the room, and closing the door shut. The room itself had a magical spell even with the glass window which allowed everypony on the outside to hear everyone word of a conversation that was said in the room. Creature looked up to see Lotus Moon approach him, as she sat down on the marble floor, crossing her leg's, as she looked at him.

"Can you......talk?" Lotus Moon asked, trying to see if it was intelligence, as Creature spoke in a calmer tone, albeit still sounding fleshy, and beast like.

"I do indeed speak.....why are you here?" Creature asked, as Lotus Moon spoke again.

"Why do you have that face? What's the matter?" Lotus asked, as Creature turned his head not wanting to answer. Lotus Moon gave him a pained look, but Creature turned to her, and spoke.

"I have this face, because I'm going to die in this room.....and after my struggle to survive.....I've reached my end" Creature asked, as Lotus gave him a puzzled look before she spoke.

"Your not going die, we won't let you" Lotus said calmly, as Creature spoke again.

"You have a Great White Sharklantean locked in a cell which is a lifeform that has been known to die in captivity, your only option of giving me food, is by serving cooked meat through a hole which takes away the thrill of this species of Sharklantean hunting it's prey, therefore losing my appetite, and finally even if you did know what my primary food source was, you'd never be able to give me it without the cost of lives.....like I said, I'm gonna die here, so what's the point in surviving?" Creature asked, as Lotus Moon cringed from hearing said word's. She decided to speak again, doing her best to calmly say her next sentence.

"It was for your own good....you ate a poor unicorn before you attacked me in my own house" She said a bit sternly, as Creature gave her a serious stare.

"I had to hunt, and eat her becasue it was my only food source of survival" Creature told her in a scolding tone. Lotus Moon felt anger rising through her, until a question came to her mind first that made her tremble.

"F-F-Food source, y-you....YOU EAT PONIES!?!?!?!?!?!?" Lotus Moon shrieked, as she immedietly stood up, while Creature rolled his eyes before letting out a deep sigh.

"Yes.....and no" Creature replied, as Lotus's expression turned from fear to confusion, as she looked at him with unusual interest.

"What do you mean by that?" Lotus Moon asked, as Creature looked down at his claw's before speaking.

"It's complicated....you wouldn't believe me even if I told you" Creature told her, as Lotus Moon immedietly sat on her knees with curiosity in her eyes.

"Try me" Lotus told him, as Creature looked up at her, and spoke.

"A Sharklantean's body is a very powerful, and unique predatory species that is designed to eat many types of magic, but magic uncontrolled on it's own is deadly to every living being on our planet, so the Sharklantean species can only devour it through a source of meat that generates, or is filled to the brim with magic" Creature explained, to Lotus. On the other side of the glass, Saphirus had kept an eye on his marefriend, while also jotting down notes of the conversation, while hearing the sentence he muttered.

"Fascinating.....if it relies on flesh that is filled, and generating magic then that mean's all Equestrian ponies are filled with magic in our entire bodies.....no wonder he was hunting, and eating ponies.....it's an important food source for him to survive." Saphirus realized, as Lotus, and Creature heard him on the opposite side of the glass before Lotus turned to him, and spoke.

"Wait you said Equestria ponies were your only food source for survival, are they your primary source?" Lotus asked, as Creature shook his head.

"According to Ancient law's, they used to be, but Starswirl the bearded made a deal with the Goddesses from the heaven's that created a primary food source for us, known as Magic Seal's that bred, and repopulated the ocean's enough to feed our species, and we stayed in the ocean for a very long time." Creature answered, as Twilight Sparkle on the opposite end of the glass spoke.

"That....might be true, according to the Ancient text's, Starswirl the Bearded kept many secret's, to make sure Equestria would have it's own survival. I think this was one of them" Twilight Sparkle told Cadence who agreed whole heartedly. Two question's sparked into Lotus Moon's mind, as she spoke.

"If your called a Great White Sharklantean....are there more of your species out there?" Lotus Moon asked, as Creature gave her his answer.

"There are many of our species, each are unique upon their survival, and appearance, along with the sources of strength, speed, stamina, battle strategy, and even agility. Each of these species have been watched, and more being created to survive the waters of Equestria's massive ocean" Creature explained, giving Lotus Moon the ability to ask the second question, which may have been the most important question of all.

"If you, and your species live so far out in the ocean, with your own lifestyle, and survival of food source.....what are you doing all the way, this far inland?" Lotus Moon asked, as Creature breathed in, and exhaled before speaking.

"A huge, and deadly virus has spread throughout the entire ocean, we tried to make a cure fast enough, but the infection spread too far, too fast. You may have discovered, many ponies that seem to be close to drowning on beach day's in Manehatten.....they aren't people who came on the beach....those are refugee's from the outer island pony colonies that have had to leave their homes to head to the mainland because of the infection spreading to their countries. My home, was fully engulfed in the infection, and I may be the only survivor.....and thus I came here, using only my instinct's to survive, and find other's to help me"

Creature explained, as everyone listened in the room with extreme intent, as Lotus Moon looked at him a bit shocked before speaking to him again. "What is so deadly about this virus, that it causes that many to flee?" Lotus Moon asked. Creature explained to her every stage about the entire virus with every detail he had told them which led everyone listening to the conversation, shiver from the detail's. After that, Lotus Moon exited the area, as she wanted to see what Cadence, Twilight Sparkle, and Saphy had to say. "Well?" She asked, as Twilight Sparkle, and Cadence turned to Saphirus expecting answer's from him.

Saphirus let out a big sigh, finishing jotting down the notes he had before he spoke. "I may hate to say this, but his story does make sense, and it sound's like he's telling the truth" Saphirus told them, as Twilight Sparkle tipped her head in response before speaking.

"How can you tell?" Twilight Sparkle asked, as Saphirus explained.

"If this infection exist's, it would explain why a deep water creature of the ocean, would flee this far inland to a new uncontaminated body of water. Plus if seperated from said primary food source, then he would have to be near a place with an alternate food source so that he could hunt, and survive. Although I may, or may not believe he has to eat magic, but the water place he was at was full of many fish for a big guy like him to survive on for year's, yet if he feed's on magic through the flesh of an organic lifeform....it would make sense for this creature to devour Equine ponies, due to us having a lot of magic"

Saphirus explained, as Cadence gave him an odd look before speaking. "If that's true, then why did he not also target Changeling's for their magic, I mean they are almost like us, wouldn't they be a good food source for these predator's?" Cadence asked.

"Not exactly, let's say you were given two glasses of water. One of them is completely pure, and a normal glass of water, while the other is almost the exact same, their is an ingredient, or chemical that almost taste's completely revolting, or has a taste that you just can't stand.....which one would you rather drink?" Saphirus asked, as Cadence gave him the answer.

"I would drink from the pure glass of water of course" Cadence smiled, as Saphirus gave her a nod.

"Exactly, for him he's going to go after the purer source of magic, because it will help him survive with an alternate food source, than a similar food source that has a disgusting taste to his mouth" Saphirus explained, as Twilight Sparkle spoke.

"Is it possible that these Sharklantean's, and Changeling's would have fought either way if the Goddesses didn't change their food source for them?" Twilight Sparkle asked, as Saphirus nodded.

"Almost 100% yes, both of these creatures are technically considered predators back in the day, and if the Changelings would still be feeding on love from, ponies, and the Sharklantean's feeding on our magic from the flesh of our bodies....yes, they would have had a war for the primary food source of survival" Saphirus explained, concluding his answer's, and theories to the princesses.

Lotus Moon looked at Creature through the glass before she spoke. "So....what do we do about this?" She asked, as Twilight Sparkle stared long, and hard at the Sharklantean before speaking.

"Saphirus, get Lovebug Sektiss, and Chrysalis to the royal meeting place.....we'll discuss this matter ourselves" Twilight Sparkle told him, as Saphirus nodded, as he headed out with Lotus Moon going with him, as she let some of the royal guard's keep watch of the Great White Sharklantean.

Chapter 4: The Adventure begin's

Lotus Moon waited patiently on a bench, sighing to herself, as she watched the hour's on a clock tick by. Lotus Moon sometimes loathed when the council meeting's took so long, and with Twilight Sparkle there was almost something going on that made it seem longer. Bored out of her skull, and almost having nothing to do, she sat alone on the bench, pondering her own thought's.

*****
"I DON'T LIKE THIS DECISION AT ALL!!!!!!" Chrysalis shouted, very furious with the decision that was being chosen for them, as she spoke again. "Not only do you want to set this creature free, but you are all suggesting that we team up, no wait.....not team up, but send some of our best adventurer's, and two fellow council member's out there to an ocean, WITH GOD KNOW'S WHAT DANGEROUS MYSTERY'S IT HAS!?!?!?!?!?!?!?" Chrysalis shouted, as Saphirus spoke.

"Chrysalis the detail's of this virus that the Great White Sharklantean gave us mean's that it can spread through two sources.....the ones already infected, and through the source of water. This infection is more dangerous than the one we have listed in Equestria, and it will take day's for the Sharklantean's to journey on the boat, not to mention we need our best scientist's to figure out how the infection work's to develop a cure, before it hit's Equstria" Saphirus explained, as Twilight Sparkle nodded.

"Agreed, if this infection hit's Equstria full force, it would infect everything, even in the desert, the snow, the Crystal Empire.....this infection could spread far, and wide, and mutate faster than we could make a cure if we don't do something now." Twilight Sparkle explained, as Lovebug Sektiss also agreed, by chiming in.

"I hate to admit, but they have a point, with an infection this deadly, putting everyone in quarantine will not save everyone forever. We can't just sit on our asses, and let this plague wipe us out completely, one way, or another we have to take out this plague with the correct team, we will not only make a cure, but we can discover so much about our planet, and fill it with the amazing knowledge we could look for peacefully. We have learned so much about our continent through adventures.....imagine being able to broaden the ability to make peace with many races who live in area's we don't" Lovebug Sektiss explained, as Chrysalis grumbled before sighing in defeat.

"I may have to agree with it, but how are we going to get across the ocean, or to learn more about this infection when we....nor he can swim across the entire Equestria ocean in the state the infection has spread?" Chrysalis asked, as Twilight Sparkle breathed a deep sigh.

"This is what we're going to do for this operation......." Twilight Sparkle told them, as she explained the entire plan to the Council before finally ending the meeting.

*****
Lotus Moon was thankful that she heard the door's open from the Council wrapping up their meeting. Lotus was happy to see Saphirus, as she gave him a hug before speaking. "It's about time that meeting ended, I've been SOOOOOOOOOOO BORED!!!!!!!!" Lotus told him, as Saphirus chuckled before turning to her with a smile.

"Honestly the meeting itself was a huge drag, but for all the time it took discussing it over, the right decision was made." Saphirus explained, as Lotus Moon gave him, an odd look.

"Please tell me that this is another adventure that I get to go on, becasue if so, it's going to be very fun, and very spicy when it comes to the two of us.....Saappphhyy" Lotus purred seductively, as she pressed her entire body against his, as Saphirus chuckled awkwardly, while hiding a deep crimson blush before speaking.

"Y-Yes.....it's another adventure that we are going to be on" Saphirus told her, as Lotus Moon tackled him to the ground, and gave him a very excited kiss before she squealed in delight, and bounced off of him.

"YES, YES, YES.......Finally a new adventure with amazing places to see, new culture, and enemies to POUND INTO THE GROUND.....and very romantic, or lewd night's with my sexy coltfriend" She cooed, as Saphirus smiled before speaking.

"I'm looking forward to all of that too, the ability to study said new creature's, getting to due some clubbing with my rocket punching gloves, and spending night's with you" Saphirus smiled, as Lotus looked at him curious.

"When do we leave?" Lotus Moon asked, as Saphirus was the one who spoke.

"Immidietly, we have to pack whatever belonging's we want, and meet everypony that is going with us at the Manehatten boat harbor.....there will be a boat for us to depart on that will have everything we need" Saphirus explained, as Lotus Moon nodded before teleporting herself, and Saphirus to their home.

Lotus Moon made sure she packed enough suitcases for the journey, as she packed many pair's of clothes (including lewd ones), and other clothes that she had packed with her which would be used for some of her romantic moment's with Saphirus whenever she could. She managed to take her bo-staff with her along with other thing's to keep her occupied that she wouldn't be able to use in Equestria. This was going to be a very large journey ahead, and it wasn't going to be easy.....that she knew for sure. Part of Lotus Moon was thrilled with excitement, but the other part of her, also feared what danger's were also there as well.

Lotus managed to pack some deep sea, scuba gear diving if she ever needed it, and so did Saphirus who also packed his clothes, the essential's he needed for the journey. With all of them having about three huge suitcases....Lotus teleported herself, and Saphirus to the boat dock's of Manehattan, thanking herself that her teleportation had gotten them that far. Lotus had almost rarely, or possibly never had been to the boat dock's of Manehatten even though they mostly cruised near Manehatten, and didn't go far out to sea. Saphirus, and Lotus soon found one of the biggest ship's they had ever seen which seemed to be both a cruise ship, and a cargo ship.

The ship's name was known as the S.S. Venture, and it seemed to be carrying a rather huge crew. Lotus, and Saphirus saw a pair of Wonderbolt's who were somehow not only making sure everything was in order aboard the vessel, but it was also a rather unexpected suprise to see a similar mare, making sure that everything was in place. "Uh......Saphirus, what are they doing here?" Lotus asked, as Saphirus spoke.

"They are going to be piloting this vessel with the help of the crew. The guides on this boat, are going to be our Sharklantean friend, and he's picked a backup support, which is Royal Lunar Guardsmare....Echo. The one's who will be studying about the ocean's society, and economy, while also working on the cure will be me, and Zecora....who is below deck with her own special brand's of mixes, and test tubes. You may also be helping on that, or be keeping an eye out for thing's above deck, and Lovebug will be here to help boost morale if it need's to, and help the Captain/Pilot keep an eye out for every crew member that is onboard" Saphirus explained, as Lotus Moon gave him a curious look.

"Who exactly is going to be the Captain/Pilot of this ship?" Lotus Moon asked, as Saphirus pointed to the very famous pegasi who seemed to be in a Wonderbolt's Captain uniform who smiled, seeing her final two crewmates getting onboard.

"Welcome aboard, shipmates.....glad to have you on deck" Rainbow Dash smiled, as she stared at them with a cocky smirk on her face.

Lotus stared at Rainbow Dash for a few second's in silence before speaking. "Well.......Fuck" Lotus Moon cursed, as Rainbow Dash bursted out laughing before speaking.

"Don't worry yourself Ms. Lotus, these Wonderbolt's, and myself had some training from Celeano with her Sky ship's....although this ship is entirely different, the control's are simple enough for us to guide through the area, so no need to be concerned." Rainbow Dash explained, as Lotus breathed a deep sigh.

"Just call me Lotus, thankfully that's good to know, although with the crew that Princess Twilight has assigned, why do I get the feeling that a small part of me is going to regret this?" Lotus asked herself, as Rainbow Dash smiled.

"Ah don't worry Lotus you've got the best pilot who is 20% cooler, and with these good friend's, and helpers this is going to be a piece of cake" Rainbow Dash smiled, as Lotus gave her a deadpanned look.

"If I wanted this place to be 20% cooler, I would have covered the upper deck with ice cubes" Lotus told her, as Rainbow Dash bursted out laughing before giving her playful punch in the shoulder.

"Ow....." Lotus Moon grumbled, as Rainbow Dash chuckled.

"I like you already, you've got some spunk" Rainbow Dash smiled, as Lotus gave a friendly grin before speaking.

"Thank you, I'm guessing since your the best pilot onboard, we can always have some Applecider whenever we need to relax" Lotus explained, as Rainbow Dash smiled.

"I have a feeling that you, and I are going to get along.....just fine" Rainbow Dash smiled, before heading to the bridge of the ship for them to depart. Lotus Moon had heard many tales of Rainbow Dash, and had rarely bumped into her around Ponyville. Lotus had a feeling that she, and Rainbow would get along just fine when they would meet, and chat. Lotus Moon had a strangely good feeling about this adventure, but it also felt like there were going to be some rough step's on the way. They all went below deck to get everything packed, and ready for the journey, as Saphirus, and Lotus shared their own room, while Lovebug had her own Changeling quarter's to mess around in.

Lotus Moon finally spotted the Sharklantean who was at his post, out watching the area to the open ocean, as she approached the tall Sharklantean. "You know what I just realized, I never did get your name.....what is it?" Lotus Moon asked, as Creature gave her an odd look before turning back to the ocean, as he spoke.

"Creature" Creature introduced, as Lotus shrugged.

"That's a bit of a generic name, but ok.....I'm Lotus Moon, and you also met my coltfriend, and my lewd best friend......Saphirus, and Lovebug Sektiss" She introduced, before hearing him bursting out laughing.

"PAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" Creature laughed, as Lotus Moon raised an eyebrow.

"What's so funny?" She asked, as Creature lightly coughed before speaking.

"Oh no, no, i-it's nothing it's just the way I may have accidentally heard that second name, was funny." Creature chuckled, as Lotus sighed, before speaking.

"That is her name.....Lovebug Sektiss....who's also a Changeling" Lotus told him, as Creature laughed to himself.

"PAHAHAHAHAWOHOHOHOHOHO......W-Where is your best friend now?" He asked, coughing to clear up his throat, mis-hearing the name as Lovebutt Sucktits.

"She's going to be helping Captain Rainbow Dash out in the bridge, so unless we come across something, she'll mostly be in there" Lotus Moon explained, as Creature spoke a bit disappointed.

"Oh.....I see well it would have be nice to apologize to her in person, and meet her, and maybe see her....SUCK SOMETHING YA KNOW HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!" Creature laughed, as Lotus Moon had a grin on her face before rolling her eyes. It took a few minutes before everything inside the ship was set, and the crew began their massive voyage, as the S.S. Venture had raised the anchor, and began sailing to the great beyond of what the Equestrian Ocean, and the Oceanic Colonies had in store, in the Great beyond.

Chapter 5: No Turning Back (Gore)

The thick, and heavy fog began to spread over the place, as the S.S. Venture continued on. The water's of the ocean were very calm, and quiet, adding a sense of uneasiness to the whole adventure. Lotus Moon hated to admit it, but she was starting to re-think if going on this adventure was a good idea. Creature stared at the massive open water's, as the presence of the ship's that were destroyed for the colonist's of the Oceanic Colonies to come to the Equestria continent. The entire place was practically an oceanic graveyard, signaling how much, and how badly these ponies, and other species were desperate to get away from the infection that plagued the ocean.

"Dead......Men......Tell.......No.......Tales......" Zecora sqwauked in, an eerie voice that freaked Lotus Moon out, as she was unaware that Zecora had come above deck.

"AAAAAHHHHH, Sheesh.....you scared me miss Zecora" Lotus Moon panted, as Zecora gave her a friendly look, as she smiled before speaking.

"Be silent my child, the voices of the sea are mild.....on this beautiful ocean do not dread, for it is here there are no tales from the dead" Zecora spoke to her, as Lotus Moon gave her, an odd look before turning back to look at the huge creepy fog. Zecora had gone back below deck, but it had almost acted like she vanished in thin air. Lotus Moon shivered, until she heard Creature speak.

"So many colonies ran from the infection, seeking shelter for the mainland....even though the ship's are destroyed.....it only add's to the creepy vibe." Creature told her, as Lotus Moon looked back, unable to see the Equestrian dock's that they departed from.

"I'm starting to think that this was a bad idea" Lotus Moon told herself before a huge rumble shook the entire ship, as it stopped. "Um.....Creature, what was that?" Lotus Moon asked, before the ship shook, and rumbled again. Many groan's were heard, as a huge part of the sea around them began to glow a dark purple. "W-WHAT'S HAPPPENING.....ARE WE BEING ATTACKED BY A SEA MONSTER!?!?!?!?!?!?!?" Lotus shouted, as Creature shook his head.

"Worse......EVERYONE GET YOUR WEAPON'S OUT, AND PREPARE TO FIGHT......WE'VE GOT INFECTED ONBOARD!!!!!!!!!!" Creature shouted, as he got in a battle stance. Rainbow Dash came out of the cabin with two pistol's just for her, as Saphirus also came out with his huge metal gloves on. Lovebug Sektiss also came onto the deck with her Changeling magic ready. After more rumbling's, the claw of a Sharklantean was seen, as an Infected Sharklantean crawled onto the deck, and roared. Creature snarled, while the other's looked at it terrified. The creatures eyes were almost complete black, with the smallest glowing red pupil's, as the eye's themselves were bleeding.

There were many huge patches of human like skin with holes that oozed blood, and wiggled, and squirmed like it was a sac of slimy bug egg's that with each throb, pumped out more blood. What used to be the bottom half of the Sharklantean's jaw was a bloody, gory mess of blood that replaced it's bottom jaw. It's teeth, and claw's were blood red, sharp, and long with an intent to kill. It's maw had even been split wider than it should have been, only making the jaw more gory.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT THING!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?" Lovebug shouted, as Creature replied.

"That is one of the fully Infected Sharklantean's from the virus that I told you about" Creature answered, as Lotus Moon cringed, looking at it's fucked up jaw.

"Ewwwww.....that is so gross.....I wanna stop looking at it before I hurl" Lotus Moon cringed, doing her best not to throw up. Many more of these Infected Sharklantean's began to crawl up the east side of the ship, as Creature spoke.

"WHATEVER YOU DO......DON'T LET THEM TOUCH, OR BITE YOU.....Or they'll pass their infection to you" Creature warned, as all of them got in a fighting stance. The huge beast's roared, as they all charged at them with impeccable speed. Lotus Moon engaged a few, as she was flexible enough to acrobatically avoid each of the Sharklantean's infectious touch. She wielded her staff well, as she bashed one of the Sharklantean's head open's, as blood erupted from it's caved in skull. Another Infected Sharklantean charged at her, as she used her magic to teleport before appearing behind him, and violently beating them with her metal bo-staff.

Lotus Moon was almost grossed out of just how much bloody, and messy they were when they were killed. Two more tried to charge at Lotus from behind before she slammed the staff into the ground, and twirled herself around, kicking the two Infected Sharklantean's into a group of them that were trying to climb aboard, as all of them were hit, and toppled back into the infected water's. Saphirus had tightened his gloves, as with each powerful punch he threw, he beat the number of infection's to a bloody pulp, as his gloves were drenched in Infected Sharklantean blood.

Lovebug Sektiss used height, and her altitude of magic to take down, as much of these creatures back. She ended up having to rethink her strategy, as the Zombie like Sharklantean's began to form a ladder of zombies, allowing them to get up to her, to try to infect her. Lovebug used a power, magic slam from the air to knock a huge number off the deck, and back into the Infected water's below. Rainbow Dash was using her pistol's to annihilate her enemies. Many tried to surround her before she acrobatically leaped backward, and in mid-flip managed to gun down her enemies. Seeing more approaching, Rainbow Dash slid on her butt, as she gunned down more of the infection's.

Rainbow Dash, used her speed to quickly gun down, as many, as she could to stop them from climbing on board. Echo had run up deck, from guarding the scientist's below, as she pulled out two broadsword's. Echo ran at them full sprint before stretching her bat wing's, and immiedietly hit a mile high altitude, before coming down with very efficient speed. Echo's sword's began to glow, as she sliced the infection's into many different pieces, as blood spewed everywhere. Echo continued engaging them with her own attack's, and speed against another pair of infection's that turned their attention to her.

Creature hated being restrictive, but it was all he could ever do. Since these were infection's, he couldn't bite down, and rip the flesh from bone.....all he had was strength, stealth, and his claw's. Many of the infection's approached him, as he used skill, and accuracy to dodge every attack that they tried on him. He managed to get a blind spot open, as his claw's slashed one of the infection's in half, as massive blood sprayed everywhere. Another infection charged at him, but he delivered a powerful roundhouse kick, knocking it, and more upcoming infection's overboard.

More, and more of these infection's continued pouring from the ocean itself, as all of them managed to battle every single infection to their fullest extent, the battle constantly continuing, until for a short while, it stopped. "PORT SIDE, PORT SIDE.....THEY ARE COMING UP THE PORT SIDE!!!!!!!!" Lovebug Sektiss screamed, as more of the Infection's had not only climbed aboard, but had also passed the infection to two Wonderbolt's with a single bite. Rainbow Dash used both pistol's, to kill the infection's that were on board before killing the infected two pegasi.

Everyone else re-grouped with Rainbow Dash, as they charged full speed ahead, slicing each one of their enemies. Rainbow Dash, slid in as she gunned down infection, after infection. Echo joined, as she charged at an Infected Sharklantean, and sliced it's arm off before, slicing it's head off, and it's body in half, massive blood spewing everywhere. Lotus Moon let out an offensive growl, as she approached one Infected Sharklantean, and propelled herself forward of the ground, and impaled her staff in it's zombified eye, as it roared in pain. Creature charged, and headbutted more of the infectione off the boat, as he made sure to deal damage.

Saphirus charged, and beat more Sharklantean's to a huge pulp with massive blood staining the deck. Lovebug continued firing her magic, to vaporize, and kill as many of these creatures as she could, doing her best to use Changeling magic. With many massive fighting, and with it becoming a huge bloodbath the Infection's slowly began to retreat as all of them panted, out of breath. "They.... they withdrew?" Lotus Moon asked, panting out of breath with the other's.

"For now.....yes, but we still need to grab us a specimen, so that Zecora, and Saphirus can get to work on a cure" Creature explained, as Rainbow Dash managed to spot a specimen still left from the aftermath of the battle.

"I've got it, I'm going to grab the one that is still twitching." Rainbow Dash said to them, as she grabbed one that had only one leg, and was thrashing violently, unhappy. Rainbow Dash ignored it's thrashing, and took it to be examined, and if possible dissected.

*****
"Interesting, the specimen you have all brought me, has proven that this virus, is something that hasn't been seen" Zecora said, as the massive support's on the dissection table contained the Infected Sharklantean from breaking out.

"Do you really think that you can make a cure for this virus?" Lotus Moon asked, as Zecora studied the specimen with extreme interest before speaking.

"To create a cure for this virus in the ocean is not impossible, but can't be done in a few night's, we are going to need....a lot of time" Zecora stated, as Lovebug Sektiss groaned, as she spoke.

"Well that's just FUCKING PERFECT.....WHAT DO WE DO, UNTIL THE CURE IS CREATED!?!?!?!?!?!?!?" Lovebug shouted, as Creature began thinking for a while, before an idea came to mind.

"We search for other survivor's, their could be other Sharklantean species that have not been Infected like me, and have found a way to stay away from this infection. Not only this, but we also need to find the three civilization's for the other clan's" Creature explained, as this piqued Saphirus's interest, as he turned to Creature with a rather geeky expression on his face.

"C-C-CLAN'S!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?" Saphirus asked, as Creature nodded, and spoke.

"There are so many Sharklantean species that all of them occupy Equestria's seas that they are divided into clan's. My Clan is the Predator Clan, which operates as Warriors through the night, being silent, stealthy, and powerful. The other clan's are the Elemental Clan, The Dark Clan, and the Ancient Clan.....but all of them may be Infected, and we need to find this among the list too" Creature explained, as Saphirus had written down these guides to make a future book, while Lotus Moon formed of a plan.

"Maybe we should search for where these other Clan's live, and go there to find any Sharklantean survivor's" Lotus Moon told them, as Lovebug Sektiss let out a deep sigh.

"There's no turning back from this, and it's a fight for survival......" Lovebug Sektiss spoke, as she looked out one of the glass submarine window's, staring through the deadly, infected water's. "......I have feeling thing's will get worse, before they can even get better" Lovebug Sektiss told them, as the boat itself continued sailing through the thick, and heavy fog.

Chapter 6: Among the Reef

"UUUGGGHHHH, This is such bullshit" Captain Rainbow Dash groaned, as she continued piloting the huge ship through the almost never ending fog of the ocean. Echo was with the Captain herself, as she was sightseeing with the huge scope that she had. Echo kept an eye up ahead, watching the system's undersea radar, while also trying to navigate through the heavy fog. Rainbow Dash turned to her first mate Echo, as she spoke.

"Any way out of this fog Echo?" Rainbow Dash asked, as she continued searching through the fog with her scope looking for any end to the fog.

"No ma'am, were still trapped in this huge fog" Echo explained, as they had been sailing for what seemed like miles, of ocean.

"Dammit" Rainbow Dash cursed, as she hated having her vision blocked, even when it came to sailing. Echo froze when she spotted a huge light up ahead believing it to be a way out.

"WAIT.....I THINK I'VE SPOT A VIEW UP AHEAD....There.....keep sailing forward I think that's our way out of the fog" Echo told her, as Rainbow Dash kept straight through the path, as they cleared the fog completely, coming to the other side of the outer Equestrian sea. This was the good new's....the bad new's was they had turned so much in the fog that they were about hit what appeared to be a huge purple rock that was in place above the ocean.

"SLOW IT DOWN.....SLOW DOWN THE SHIP NOW!!!!!!!!!" Rainbow Dash screamed, as Echo did her best to halt the engine's to a stop before hitting the massive rock.

"WE'RE SLOWING DOWN, BUT WERE STILL GOING TO HIT THAT THING!!!!!!!!" Echo shouted, as Rainbow Dash pulled out a radio, alerting everyone onboard. "ATTENTION ALL PERSONAL.......BRACE FOR IMPACT!!!!!!!!!!" Rainbow Dash screamed on the intercom, as the ship's hull collided with the rock formation, slightly. It didn't do much major damage, but it had still rocked everyone around. Lotus Moon was helping, and watching Saphirus, and Zecora working om the cure with extreme interest, until all of them were thrashed around by the ship's impact.

Saphirus, and Zecora managed to hold on, while also keeping the Infected Sharklantean secure. Lovebug Sektiss was taking a nap, until she was thrown out of her bed from the ship's impact, and even Creature managed to retain himself from losing his footing above deck. "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!?!?!?!?!? Saphirus shouted, as Lotus Moon had already dashed upstairs to figure out what happened. Rainbow Dash, and Echo already had checked the ship before rushing to see what exactly the ship hit. "Did we.....hit a reef?" Echo asked, as Creature shook his head before speaking.

"No, what we hit wasn't a reef, but rather a reef nest" Creature explained, as Lotus Moon turned to him, raising an eyebrow.

"What is a reef nest?" Lotus asked, as Creature spoke.

"A reef nest usually is an untouched hiding spot of a natural phenomenon in the outer areas of Equestria's water's. A coral reef below during it's time of being super healthy usually grow's a massive rock formation for 3 year's, above the ocean's surface, and provides a home, and shelter for two species of surviving Sharklantean's" Creature explained, as Rainbow Dash looked down at the huge pink rock with many types of holes in it.

"Do you think it has any survivors?" Echo asked, until hearing many huge roar's a rather small Sharklantean that was about 6 to 7 feet tall began to crawl out with a 9 foot tall Sharklantean close behind it.

"It would appear there is your answer" Creature explained, as the three brought out their weapon's. The first is known only as a Blacktip Reef Sharklantean.

The Blacktip Reef Sharklantean's are small compared to the other Sharklantean's, but they pack a lot of power. Their claw's can be razor sharp, and deadly when it come's to attacking their enemy. They are considered the easiest Sharklantean to take down.

The second Sharklantean next to the Blacktip Reef is it's twin opposite brother in nature, The Whitetip Reef Sharklantean.
This Sharklantean is the complete opposite of the Blacktip Reef Sharklantean; while the Blacktip Reef focuses on power, and muscle the Whitetip Sharklantean is nothing, but speed, especially if it's in the water. It's claw's are dull, but at accelerating speed's they can slice through any type of steel. The two Sharklantean's appeared on the boat, as they let out a thundering roar, their eyes blank, blood red.

"Why are they preparing to fight us, they aren't infected" Lotus Moon asked, as Creature pointed to their eyes before speaking.

"They're blank colored red eyes mean that they're in survival instinct mode....the only way we can truly save them, and keep them onboard is if we knock them unconscious" Creature explained, as Rainbow Dash let out a cocky laugh before turning to the Whitetip Reef Sharklantean.

"Hah.....this is going to be a true piece of cake" Rainbow Dash chuckled, as she pulled her pistol's out, and pointed them at the invading Sharklantean.

"WAIT RAINBOW DASH, WHITETIP SHARKLANTEAN'S ARE........" Before he could even finish his sentence, in the blink of an eye the Whitetip Sharklantean hit incredible speed, headbutting Rainbow Dash into the Captain's cabin, knocking the pistol's from her hand's, before using it's speed to pursue after her. "......fast" Creature finished, until a powerful punch from the Blacktip Reef knocked him back, from the powerful hit. Echo, not wanting to hurt the Sharklantean, had her fist's ready, as she battled the Creature with un-armed combat, and gave the Sharklantean, powerful punches. The Blacktip Reef Sharklantean took all three blow's, and gave her a powerful punch, slamming her into the deck.

Lotus Moon had her staff ready, and on the lowest setting, as she bashed the Sharklantean with hit's left, and right, while twirling her acrobatic body before using her staff to deliver, and uppercut blow, knocking the Sharklantean flat on it's back. The Blacktip Reef wasn't down, as it put it's hand's behind it's head, and somehow backflip kicked Lotus Moon high into the air. In mid-air the Blacktip Reef delivered, a powerful roundhouse kick, as Lotus was knocked into the room with the bridge. Rainbow Dash had taken that powerful hit, and new that she had to be serious with this fight.

She used her super speed, to keep up with the Whitetip Sharklantean, as they battled each other with their fist's. Rainbow Dash also had to do her best to evade the Sharklantean's slashes, and it's jaw attack's as the pair continued battling each other at full speed. Finally, Rainbow Dash managed to get her gun's, as she poured many bullet's into it, forcing the Sharklantean back before using the handle to knock it unconscious. Creature had gotten up from the Blacktip Reef Sharklantean's attack, as he leaped up, and let out a thundering roar, charging at it full speed, and slamming his fist into the Sharklantean.

A loud thundering boom echoed through the sky, as the Blacktip Reef Sharklantean was knocked into the huge reef nest, as much of it collapsed into the un-infected area of the ocean. The Blacktip Reef Sharklantean was most defiently unconcious, as Creature picked up the Blacktip Reef Sharklantean, and carried it onto the boat, as Lotus, Rainbow Dash, and Echo also helped carried the Whitetip Reef Sharklantean to a safe cargo bay that was thankfully installed.

*****
"These two will be safe in these pool water's, thankfully other Sharklantean's can live in captivity, until the cure is fully complete" Creature explained, as Lotus Moon let out a deep sigh.

"I don't know about all of you, but I am beat from this entire thing" Lotus Moon sighed, looking almost completely tired. Creature could sense a smell coming from the rock that the ship had lightly crashed into, as he pursued the smell with extreme interest. His eyes went from the normal pupil to blank red, as Lotus Moon looked at Creature in horror seeing those eyes again. "Eheheh.....Uh Creature.....you feeling.....okay?" Lotus Moon asked with a slight hesitation in her voice. Creature nearly ignored her, as he quickly turned, and ran out onto the upperdeck of the ship before bashing his way into the huge rock.

Everyone else available, ran up to the top deck, as Lotus Moon came to a screeching halt with a curious Lovebug Sektiss also arriving behind her, after seeing Creature running above deck. "What the hell has gotten into that thing this time?" Lovebug asked, as Lotus Moon shrugged before speaking.

"I don't know.....his instinct just activated on it's own, and then he raced out of where the other Sharklantean's were.....next thing I knew when I followed him, he was up here, burying himself into that rock" Lotus Moon pointed out, as Lovebug Sektiss stared at the rock, as she hummed in confusion.

"What exactly could he be after in that rock, that could trigger his instinct?" Lovebug Sektiss before getting her answer, almost right away. Creature emerged from the rock with a huge magic container with Ancient
Atlantic Hyroglpyhic's etched onto the huge container itself. The container was filled with a rainbow colored water, similar to what Cloudsdale has to create rainbow's. Inside the water were what appeared to be tiny oceanic creatures that looked like they were shrunk down. Lovebug, and Lotus Moon were a bit taken back by this, seeing something so.....foreign.

"What......is that?" Lotus Moon asked, as Creature spoke.

"A Magic Seal survival stash....usually in these reef homes if something happen's where the Reef Sharklantean's, can't leave their own home there is a filtration, tank pump system that quarantines off a small chunk of the ocean. The huge hydro tank then un-shrink's the Magic Seal's inside, and the Sharklantean's hunt, and feed off of it. If we can find a good piece of land, that is safe, habitable, and able to support all types of Sharklantean species.....then we can have a....survival home for everyone, while Zecora, and Saphirus finish the cure" Creature explained, as Lovebug Sektiss groaned before speaking.

"THAT'S GOING TO BE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND......ARE THEIR ANY ISLAND'S.....THAT BIG THAT MEET'S THOSE STANDARD'S!?!?!?!?!?!?" Lovebug shouted, as Creature turned his head looking out to the ocean.

"There is one island that meet's these standard's, and also hasn't been claimed by the infection....but the island is a legend, and it's location is shrouded in mystery....plus it's a very perilous journey, and this ship alone won't be enough for us to get there unharmed" Creature explained, as a huge smile grew across her face.

"An opportunity of seeking out a legend with peril, while also trying to seek a cure, and refuge for an unknown species to survive.....and here I thought this adventure was going to be boring" Lotus Moon smiled, as Lovebug stared at her friend in suprise before speaking.

"YOU CAN'T Be serious?" Lovebug asked, as Lotus Moon gave her best friend, a glare before speaking.

"May I remind you that Saphy, and I have been on adventures that have had us chase down legend's to defeat foes, or solve problems that he, and I have come across.....and you've had adventures like that of your own missy that have led to some raunchy result's.....so do you think you should be criticizing me for chasing down legend's when you've probably done that, and if coming across certain event's.....fucked said legend's?" Lotus Moon asked, as Lovebug was about to reply, but ended up keeping her mouth shut. "That's exactly what I thought" Lotus Moon told her breathing in a deep sigh, as she turned to Creature.

"Where do we start?" She asked, as Creature looked down at the ship.

"There should be a huge tavern that should be untouched by the infection, for us to get information, and quite possibly a ship, but it's a rather long journey for us to get there." Creature explained, as Lotus Moon nodded before walking away.

"Well tell me when we'll get there, because right now I have other matter's I want to "attend" to" Lotus told him with a hint of lust in her voice, as she began to journey below deck. Lovebug turned back to Creature, and spoke.

"I'll put the container in a safe vault that I store in my room, that way we can have this huge food supply for when we find this Island" Lovebug explained, as Creature gave her the jar, which felt super heavy than it should have been.

"Whatever you do don't break it, otherwise it would cause a rather peculiar disaster on our ship that we don't need" Creature warned her, as Lovebug rolled her eyes before replying.

"You don't have to tell me twice" Lovebug told him, as she carefully went below deck, to make sure she stored the container that she was given in a safe place.

Chapter 7: This boat ain't the only thing that's rockin' (Clop)

Saphirus, and Zecora had worked almost all day, and night trying to figure out the Tryphoceaus Virus. Even though he wasn't really experienced with infection's he knew that Zecora knew many healing item's, or special concoctions for making cure's to many illnesses, or telling the cure recipe to anyone else helping to cure almost every virus. Saphirus was completely shocked to hear that despite the knowledge of what he had acquired so far, Zecora was almost completely stumped with this virus. Upon experimenting with their, captured, bleeding specimen, the virus acted in a way that only made it's genetic makeup more puzzling.

The virus itself acted like it was alive, and every time she thought she had developed the right solution to the cure, the virus itself mutated, and evolved on it's own causing both of them to go back to the drawing board. For the past three day's they had gotten nowhere with result's. The information that was given to them, only made what they already tried which didn't work, only making the virus, and themselves more curious about the Sharklantean species. After the collision which followed with ship repair's, and more knowledge, Saphirus needed a break. He had been almost mentally drained from the task at hand, as he went into the quarters he shared with Lotus, and plopped down on the very huge bed.

Lotus was a rather rough sleeper, and thankfully Lovebug managed to put in a request for the council for their room's to be comfortable. Saphirus laid on the bed, thinking back to the good times. He was glad that on this adventure, he, and Lotus Moon could actually be themselves. They had been good friend's on their first adventure, and after they became marefriend, and coltfriend their relationship became super special. It had been a year, and they were still together, and enjoying the blissful sex they had. Saphirus couldn't help, but look out the boat window, as he stared at the rocky ocean water's, as a thought came across his mind.

I wonder if I have married Lotus Moon in the future.....would this place, help us fully retire, and for both of us to raise a daughter here? I wonder if there is a place that we can run away, and have an amazing life as our own without all the drama in Equestria. Saphirus wondered, as he continued staring off at the big, beautiful ocean. He then snapped from his thought's, as Lotus Moon came in, seeing Saphirus. She smiled, as she collapsed onto the bed next to him. "UUUUGGGHHHH, I'm so tired" Lotus Moon groaned, feeling almost completely burned out. Saphirus chuckled, as he layed down on the bed, also sighing to himself.

"You, and me both Lotus my brain almost feel's exhausted." Saphirus sighed, as Lotus rotated herself around, snuggling close to him. After snuggling her coltfriend, Lotus looked up at him, as she spoke.

"How is the cure coming along?" Lotus Moon asked, a Saphirus groaned, putting both hand's over his face.

"UUUUGGGHHH, it's only been three day's, and already this virus has got both me, and Zecora confused.....I'm exhausted with trying to experiment with the virus" Saphirus groaned, as Lotus Moon gave him a mixed look of a chuckle, and a bit concerning.

"That bad Saphy?" She asked, as Saphirus spoke.

"I can't believe what I heard from Zecora, and now I can almost completely agree with her" Saphrius answered, as Lotus Moon loomed over his body with curiosity.

"What exactly did she say?" Lotus Moon asked, as Saphirus let out a tired sigh before speaking.

"In all her life of making cure's, and treating fevers that her home people, and even Equestria has never truly suspected, Zecora told me that she has never seen anything like this virus. So far it's baffled us, with every concoction, and serum we try to create, the virus itself seem's to evolve on it's own with the treatment's we try.....creating this cure for the Sharklantean's is going to be a lot harder than we anticipated." Saphirus explained, as Lotus looked at him almost speechless.

"That mean's this virus is more dangerous than anything Equestria has ever seen. Even though Cutie pox disappeared, and that incident with Applebloom, Zecora knew of the cure from the far away land, and even knew of a cure to Swamp Fever when she was infected.....but how can she not know a cure for an unknown disease, even if it affect's these.....Sharklantean's?" Lotus Moon asked, as Saphirus guessed his answer.

"At best guess....I think that the Zebra's were brave, but never dared to explore the farthest ocean's of our seas....or maybe they didn't know there was more out there" Saphirus suggested, as Lotus Moon hummed softly before nestling near him. For a few minutes they layed their together before Lotus Moon climbed over him with a sexual gaze of lust, and love in her eyes. Saphirus noticed this, as for a minute he was oblivious to this. "What are you doing?" Saphirus asked, as Lotus Moon had a mischievous smile on her face.

"Oh Saphy, we've had a very long, and tiring day....perhap's it will be better if we....unwind" Lotus Moon purred seductively, as she began stripping. Saphirus eyes widened, his cheek's burning red with a blush, but he wasn't going to stop her at all. Lotus Moon threw her shirt to the floor, and undid her blue short's. Lotus sat there in her light purple bra, and panties that barely confined her beautiful DD-Cup breast's. Saphirus felt his phallus hardening within the confines of her pant's, as Lotus gazed at his bulge. "Mmmm, I can't exactly leave Little Saphy hanging....let me give him some air" Lotus cooed, as she unbuckled his pant's, and slid it with his underwear off him.

Saphirus took his shirt off, showing off his bare chest to his lover. Lotus Moon reached behind her back, and unbuttoned her bra, letting her beautiful breast's bounce free from their confinement. Lotus Moon let him drink up every ounce of her body, as she went to the hem of her panties, and began to slowly slide them down, exposing her wet marehood to the open air, as she twirled it around her index finger before tossing it aside. Lotus stared down, at Saphirus's rather large dick. "Mmmm....I haven't been giving him attention for so long, and normally I would.....but right now he need's to be somewhere else......"

Lotus Moon cooed seductively, as she lowered her body down, resting her breast's against his chest, as she locked lip's with him. Saphirus kissed her back, as the two felt their tongue's dance, and writhe in their mouth's the sound of their muffled moan's beginning to reach a much higher peak. Both of them seperated from their lustful kiss, for much needed air, a string of saliva connecting their lip's together before the string broke. Lotus Moon kept her chest on his, as she lowered herself down, sliding his dick, deep into her inner wall's. "OOOOOHHH FUUUUCCCKKKK!!!!!!!" Lotus moaned, her wall's clenching down on his shaft, as Saphirus growled.

"L-Lotus.....it's been too long" He groaned, as another moan escaped Lotus Moon's lips.

"S-Saphy.....OOOOHHHHH" Lotus moaned, unable to form word's, as she began slapping her hip's up, and down his dick pushing deeper into her inner depth's. Saphirus was grunting, and moaning, meeting his thrust's with her bouncing as Lotus Moon's moan's were reaching a higher peak. The lewd slapping sound's of sex echoed throughout their quarter's the heavy smell of musk washing over them, as the two continued their blissful sex.

"AAAAAHHH, AAAAAAHHHH, SAPPPPHHYYY!!!!!!!" Lotus cried, as she continued bouncing up, and down on his shaft, as Saphirus was groaning, and panting.

"Lotus.....your so tight.....NNNFFFF!!!!!!!" Saphirus growled, as Lotus Moon continued her bouncing, their bodies beginning to heat up, until the two began to reach their peak, feeling something inside both of them about to burst.

"LOTUS......I'M CLOSE!!!!!!" Saphirus warned, as Lotus Moon screamed her response.

"SAPPPPHHHYYY.....I'M.....I'M....I'M GONNA......." Lotus Moon cried, until she threw her head back in bliss, as they both cried out in ecstasy. Saphirus pumped his seed deep into her, while her flood gates opened, as her sweet nectar stained his crotch. Both of them came down from their orgasmic high, as Lotus Moon collapsed onto Saphirus, the two of them snuggling on the bed, feeling the need to get some much needed rest.

"I love you" Lotus Moon whispered, as Saphirus smiled warmly, while shutting his eyes, whispering his reply.

"I love you too" His voice echoed, as both of them fell asleep from a tiring day, and the blissful sex they had, as their naked bodies glowed in the beautiful moonlight from the window's which also coated the Infected water's that were outside.

Chapter 8: Welcome to Pacifica

Lotus Moon, and Saphirus had woken up from their peaceful slumber when morning arrived, as both of them got cleaned up. As they were about to get dressed, Saphirus was unable to resist, as he gave his marefriend's ass a good spank, a loud squeak echoing from her lip's before she turned to him with a seductive gaze. "Naughty boy" Lotus Moon cooed, as Saphirus chuckled before speaking.

"Sorry, I couldn't help myself" Saphirus chuckled, as Lotus gave him a predatory stare.

"If it weren't for helping out our good friend's I would stay in bed with you, and ride you almost all day" Lotus purred flirtatiously, as Saphirus smiled.

"We may have to wait until tonight" Saphirus smiled, until they each heard an intercom in their room turn on, hearing their names.

"Lotus Moon, and Saphirus please report to the upper deck's immiedietly, and prepare for departure." Rainbow Dash spoke on the intercom, as Lotus Moon let out a sigh before speaking.

"Here we go" Lotus Moon sighed, as she finished getting dressed, with Saphirus was.

"We might as well get this over with" Saphirus sighed, as both of them journeyed above deck. Lovebug, and Echo were watching from afar, as they noticed a small colonial island that seemed like it's own continent with it's sight's being unique. The tech that was their looked like a mixture of old resources blended with futuristic technology. Some of the ship's parked in the respective bay's were not just wooden ship's, but some of them looked like fighter ship's, or starships, each with their own crew. Creature had a neutral expression on his face, while Lotus Moon, and Saphirus had the exact same awed look that Lovebug Sektiss, and Echo had, staring at the rather amazing sight.

Creature only looked back at them with a smile before speaking. "Welcome to one of the best colony island's that the infection has yet to touch.....Pacifica, this may be the last place of the Colonies Society that isn't infected, although I don't think that will remain for long" Creature spoke, seeing as how from what he heard everyone seemed to be leaving the place rather expectedly out of true fear, as the ship itself begin to pull into the harbor. Finally arriving, the ship itself docked where it needed to be, as the engine shut down, as Rainbow Dash lowered the drawbridge for them to get off. Creature turned to the drawbridge, and began walking down it before turning to the other's.

"Lotus, Lovebug, Saphirus, Echo....I'm going to need all of your help to finding what were looking for, so come with me....everyone else I advise you all to stay with the ship....the local's aren't really friendly to those from the mainland" Creature explained, as they all nodded before going into the town, as Lotus Moon turned to the Sharklantean, giving him a raised eyebrow before speaking.

"If they aren't friendly to outsiders, or people from the mainland, why the heck did you want to bring me, Saphy, Lovebug, and Echo here on this journey?" Lotus Moon asked, as Creature spoke his reply.

"It's called plot armor" He replied, as Saphirus gave him an almost unbelievable look, as he spoke.

"Really?" He asked, curious if his response was correct. Creature turned to him with a mischievous grin on his face before speaking.

"No....I was just messing with you both....the real reason your coming along is that the item area that might give us clues to what were looking for resides with getting information from a local tavern. When it comes to searching, doing it alone would take a very long time....which is something we are running out of so that's why I decided to take all of you with me, plus it will help for you to learn a thing, or two about the colonies culture" Creature explained, as Saphirus smiled, pulling out an emergency handbook, and a pencil to write with for him to take more notes. Both of them went into the huge city, seeing that everything around the area was unique.

The item's that were sold seemed to vary with unfamiliar technology, or devices that made the city itself shine more. Lotus Moon, Lovebug Sektiss, and Echo were fascinated by many of the clothes, and fabric that seemed to be on sale, or worn by a lot of the other creature's around here. The clothing that all of them had seemed to have an amazing sea like design, or something about it that just sang "oceanic" to them as they all enjoyed the view. Lotus Moon gasped, as her eyes sparkled with viewing the city before she spoke. "THIS.....IS......AMAZING!?!?!?!?!?!? This place has so much life, and color to it....imagine if some of this stuff was a part of Ponyville back home" Lotus Moon squeaked ecstatically, as she explored everything.

Lotus Moon spotted a beautiful red dress in the window with a very bright purple see like design with a golden lacing surrounding it. "I MUST HAVE THAT!!!!!!!!" Lotus Moon growled, as she dissapeared into the dressing shop. Creature rolled his eyes, not wanting to be delayed, but knew it was best to go in after her. Saphrius had already disappeared into the store, as Creature turned to Lovebug Sektiss, and Echo.

"Stay here, and be on the highest of guard....there's no telling what weird thing's could go on in this city" Creature warned, as both of them nodded before he went into the shop after the two. Lotus, and Saphirus were arguing whether to be distracted by Lotus buying the dress, or to forget the dress, and help Creature on his mission, as they seemed to argue. The female sea pony, who was a rather sight to behold, as she had plain orange skin, and her sea like mane was light pink, She seemed to be very confused, and bored, until she looked at the Sharklantean, seeing at least a familiar oceanic species.

"And I thought siren's had problems....I should have know that some of us sea ponies were not very good at getting along" The sea pony groaned, as Creature chuckled, while lighting pushing the arguing couple aside without interrupting them.

"Sorry, we were all in a bit of a hurry, and they are newly wed's....so they still need to sort out their differences, but I'm sure they'll work it out in no time" Creature told her, as the Sea pony chuckled.

"Oh I see" The Sea pony giggled, as both Saphirus, and Lotus Moon spoke up with an embarrassed look on their faces.

"WAIT.....WHAT!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?" They shouted in unison, as Creature laughed before flashing a toothy grin at them, as he chuckled.

"May I suggest that you two calm down?" Creature asked, as Lotus Moon felt her eyebrow twitch, until she let out a deep sigh, knowing that she had caused a scene.

"Y-Yes.....sorry dearie, I guess I got carried away with how this place look's from one of the other colony cities" Lotus Moon apologized, doing her best to blend in, as Saphirus smiled.

"I know my love, but we've got places to be with our Sharklantean friend here" Saphirus told her, also giving her an apologetic look, as the pair tried to blend in with their new surrounding's. The sea pony laughed, as she looked at the pair before smiling.

"Oh I'm glad to see that a pair of oceanic ponies has finally come to my shop in a while, ever since that dreadful virus began spreading throughout the ocean, I've been getting less, and less customers ever since they've been coming to my tiny little shop. Many of the other stores have been shutting down, and preparing to move out, but I prefer to sell my thing's till near the very end before I have to leave. This is my mother's shop after all, and she adored it when she was very much in love with dad" The sea pony spoke, speaking in a chipper voice that sounded similar to Rarity's with a tiny British accent to it.

"Excuse me for the trouble miss......" Creature began before the sea pony spoke up.

"Sweet Sea, my name is Sweet Sea how can I help you all today?" She asked in a generous tone. Creature was about to pardon for the intrusion, and have them leave, but Lotus Moon spoke up.

"How much for the beautiful dress that you have on display in the window?" Lotus asked with pure sparkles in her eyes, as the Sweet Sea giggled before speaking.

"My, my a sea pony who has some taste, before I'd shut down my shop I was hoping someone would by my last beautiful dress that I have in stock, before I'm forced to shutdown my fashion industry for my shop" She answered, as Lotus Moon gasped in suprise before speaking.

"What happened to your other dresses?" Lotus asked out of curiosity, as Sweet Sea sighed.

"Oh I am sorry dearie, but all of my best, and most beautiful dresses were sold out ever since that dreadful infection has been spreading around the ocean, I've been selling the last of my best item's in stock, before I shut this little old place down." She explained, as Lotus Moon gave her a saddened look before speaking.

"I'm.....sorry to hear that, but maybe I should just leave......" Lotus Moon was about to begin, as Sweet Sea shook her head.

"Oh there's no reason to pity me luv, thankfully my client's were able to spare enough for me to buy a small shop so that I can head over to the mainland when I'm done" Sweet Sea cooed, as Lotus Moon perked up hearing this, as she looked at her.

"How much is it for that dress?" Lotus Moon asked, as Sweet Sea gave her the answer.

"That would be about 200 ruby dubloon's please" Sweet Sea told her, as Lotus Moon's face went completely blank, as she looked down completely realizing she wouldn't get the dress without exposing her identity. Saphirus new the devastated look on her face, as he pointed to Creature before speaking to Sweet Sea.

"Can my friend here pay for the dress for her?" Saphirus asked, as she gave him a nice smile.

"Of course, if he can show me his Clan symbol I can use the naturistic scan to know his amount......give me a minute" Sweet Sea told him, as she went into the back of the shop before coming back with a very large, unusual plant. "Ah here it is....just place your arm near the plant, and it will tell me your amount" She sang, as Creature raised the arm with his Clan symbol on it near the plant. The plant was alive, as it bit him where the symbol was embedded, as it glowed bright red. A huge tube of the plant then shot out 200 of these tiny ruby coin's before it released it's grip, and went back to normal. The Sea pony then went to the dress, and brought it to the counter making sure it had the right length.

She then packed the dress in the box, and then gave the box to Lotus Moon who squealed in excitement of the beautiful oceanic dress she had just bought. She even was excited enough to give Saphirus a very romantic kiss before separating, and exiting the shop, thanking the sea pony mare who only gave her a small wave, as the other's left with them. After they had left the shop, all three of them realized that Lovebug Sektiss, and Echo were missing. "WHERE'S LOVEBUG!?!?!?!?!?!?" Lotus panicked, her face morphing from excitement to concern. Creature could sense danger, when he picked up Sektiss's scent.

He growled, and took off at blinding speed, as Lotus Moon, and Saphirus pursued after him with blazing speed, making sure not to fall close behind. When Lotus finally caught up with Creature he had his claw's pinning near the back of the neck of two male siren's, and third being tighed up with his tail, who seemed to have given Echo a good beating, while looking like they were trying to kill Lovebug Sektiss. Creature had a threatening look on his face, as his sharp claw's pressed tightly against the neck's of the indigo covered siren, and an albino siren, and a third red siren

A few minutes earlier

Lovebug Sektiss, and Echo were waiting outside the shop, waiting for Creature, Saphirus, and Lotus Moon to come back out of the store. Minutes seemed to tick by, as Lovebug let out a loud groan before speaking "Leave it to my best friend Lotus to get herself distracted from preventing Equestria to be infected" Lovebug sighed, as Echo chuckled before she started speaking.

"Well I for one in particular am not so mad, after all perhaps if we understand the culture, maybe Princess Twilight, and the rest of the council will be able to help the society re-adapt to the culture it use to be, while also being told of what the colonies are like out here so that everypony can make a trade, and have peace" Echo explained, as Lovebug Sektiss groaned before kicking a can across the area, as she let out a frustrated growl.

"Well I just want to get back to my hive, be able to take many days rest off from this entire adventure, and fuck all of my naughty Changeling guard's that usually guard me on my throne" Lovebug Sektiss stated, as Echo turned to the higher up, and chuckled to herself before speaking.

"I take it, Thoraxx, and the other Changeling drones that fused with your hive have way's of "relaxing you" on your rough day's?" Echo asked with a purr in her voice, as Lovebug Sektiss giggled before she spoke.

"Say what you want, but the male, and female Changeling's can be absolutely hot as fuck" Lovebug smiled, until she felt something, or someone grab her by the ankle, and drag her into the alleyway, while letting out a high pitched scream.

"LOVEBUG!!!!!!!!!" Echo shouted, as she pursued after her, drawing her katana's, preparing for battle. Some male sea ponies, had pinned her to the wall, and began beating the crap out of her, as they laughed, and had fun.

"LEAVE HER ALONE!!!!!!!!!" Echo shouted, as she charged at them with her katana sword's, and battled all of them head on. The sea ponies had sword's of their own, as they did battle with Echo. She managed to beat them down, or give them a painful slash to run away, leaving 3 left. The sea ponies looked at her, as Echo was battered from battling so many opponent's who were almost, as skilled, and as fast as her. They were about to stop her, when three bandito male siren's used an oceanic power against them as the three were manipulated, and left the area. Echo was about to say thank's, until one of them kicked her in the stomach, making her drop her katana's.

They also gave Lovebug Sektiss a bit more of a beating before bringing her up, as Lovebug Sektiss coughed up blood. "Well lookie here boy's, imagine what we could by for that pretty little dress of her's for the right price" The first siren chuckled, as Lovebug Sektiss groaned before speaking.

"You.....don't......want.....to do this" She said weakly, as the other siren spoke.

"Oooohhh I believe I do, and I bet that all my willie's getting willie while, willingly imagining what amazing coin's we can get from your clothes for a handsome price" He chuckled with the other siren, until the third spoke.

"Forget the clothes....this maggot is an Impure, a Changeling, the lowest of the low talked in these part's, can you imagine how much other's would offer us for being able to do some many thing's to her?" He asked, as all of them laughed, until the first two, felt a cold sharp pain against their neck's, while the third felt himself restrained by....something, unable to move.

Present

"Here's the way I see it, you Siren's go back into the hellhole's that you crawled out of, and I don't rip your head's from your neck's" Creature growled, as one of them looked at Creature, recognizing his species before scoffing.

"AAAAHH Sharklantean, what hell is this man, why would you protect a female Impure?" The Siren complained, as Creature spoke.

"Here's the thing.....ya see this shitlicker, and I got a little something called history, in fact.....she's the reason I'm currently on this goddamm rock, and for me to continue my plan's.....So if anyone is going to be taking this Impure off your hand's......that anyone is going to be ME!!!!!!!!" Creature growled, as one of them rolled his eyes.

"Like hell you will" He snarled, until Creature sank a claw painfully into his back, as the Siren screamed in pain, as Creature spoke.

"Oh I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you over the sound of my claw digging into your back, would you care to repeat that comment?" Creature asked in an innocent tone, as he shook it off, and growled.

"Fuck you.....come on boy's were leaving" He growled, as the other two siren's groaned in defeat, as they began to leave the area.

"Shoo...shoo, off you go" Creature told them, shooing them along, as the three Siren's vanished out of the alleyway, as he helped Echo up to her feet, and gave her the weapon's she had before also helping Lovebug Sektiss up. Lovebug groaned in pain, as Lotus Moon, and Saphirus used their magic to patch up the internal bleeding, and were able to get her back on her feet as if nothing happened.

"Man, is everypony in the colonies not really that fond of Changeling's?" Lovebug Sektiss asked.

"Considering how bad the war was when the Changeling's first invaded the colonies....I'd say yes. No one really likes the Changeling's ever since that day, and to be honest I'd go into further more detail of their hatred for Changeling's." Creature explained, as Lotus gave him a curious look, as a question came across her mind.

"Excuse me, but why do you, and those other Siren's call Lovebug "Impure"?" Lotus Moon asked, as Creature took a deep sigh before explaining.

"It is considered a racist slang against Changeling's, it mean's unpure, or imperfect a creation of pony, or lifeform that was mixed with something disgusting to create them. Considering how the Changeling's can change into anypony look alike, and mimic the voice, the Colonist's think that the Changeling's were created when someone took a pony, and genetically mutated it with special properties giving the world. Considering how they had a war with the Sharklantean's, and the battle taking place when the colonies were just being birthed then the name that spark's for them is....Impure" Creature explained, as Lotus Moon had a shocked, and angered expression on her face.

"That's just....AWFUL, AND RACIST.....WHY WOULD SUCH A COMMUNITY BE THAT OFFENSIVE TO CHANGELING'S!?!?!?!?!?!?!?" Lotus Moon shouted, defending her best friend, as Creature spoke.

"Keep in mind Lotus no one, or the Colonies learned about what the Changeling's are now when the survivors of the following colonies that were infected learned that, getting there. Not to mention that before the infection besides the war, and earlier times....the Colonies did not know of the Mainland, and the Mainland did not know about the Colonies. The only history, or mention of the Changelings of the Colonies was when they invaded the places when the cities were just being built on the island's" Creature explained, as Lovebug sighed.

"I hope one day we can change their mind's about that" Lovebug told them, as Creature turned to her, and spoke.

"After we cure the infection, we will, but right now there's one more stop we need to go, in order for us to speed up the cure....our boat's fuel, doesn't exactly last forever, so we may need a ship here, and information" He told them, as they began walking with him to where he had planned their next stop.

Chapter 9: Seeking Information

Creature had picked out the next place he needed for them to go to, as he, Echo, Lovebug Sektiss, Lotus Moon, and Saphirus had journeyed near the far end of the Oceanic Colony city, Pacifica. They came across a tavern that seemed to welcome many species from afar, even though it only had three that mosty came, being the Sharklantean's, Siren's, and Sea Ponies. Creature turned to all of them, as he smiled before speaking to them. "If memory serves me correct, this bar should be a safe place for all of you to hang out, or help us gather information that we seek.....come on, let's go inside." Creature urged them, as all of them entered the place.

The tavern was lively with it's music, as a few of the creatures inside stared at Lovebug Sektiss, and Echo the most, while other's gave them a few second stare before going back to their normal businesses. Near the far front of the tavern, three naked, beautiful female Siren's were dancing on the stripper pole's, rubbing their pussies along the cold metal surface, or giving the male creatures that were watching them up close some more raunchy fun, letting them spank their asses, grope their breast's, or even getting lucky enough for them to lick their pussies, as they put on a huge show for them. Lotus Moon blushed heavily upon seeing this, while Lovebug Sektiss was drooling from the sight, almost wanting to join the female siren's.

Lovebug sadly had to save that for a different fantasy, as she had come here for business, not pleasure, no matter how bad she wanted it. Saphirus had taken notes about the culture, and the tavern, until he felt something bite his leg, as he yelped in response. He looked down to see a dog sized Sharklantean who's jaw's were currently locked onto his leg, and drooling onto it, until Creature managed to pry the tiny Sharklantean off of Saphirus, as Lotus took care of Saphirus's leg before speaking. "Don't worry Saphy....I got you" Lotus said softly, as Saphirus turned to Creature who held up the Sharklantean by the tail who was biting the air, and swinging it's tiny claw's around.

"A tiny Sharklantean, what species is that?" He asked, as Creature spoke.

"This my friend.....is a Porbeagle" Creature explained.

The Porbeagle is a Sharklanean which is the only member of the Dog Sharklantean family out of all of the Sharklantean's. This tiny guy stand's about 4 feet tall, and is mostly a harmless Sharklantean. Part of the Predator Clan, this little guy is very speedy given it's size, but can also get into situation's that no other Sharklantean's have ever gotten into. It greet's many of the other Non-Sharklantean species it likes, by biting them on either the tail, or the leg. When it likes certain Sharklantean's it will impale it's throat on a Sharklantean's head, and keeped them locked to deal with. If taking care of a dog is bad enough, taking care of the Porbeagle Sharklantean is a Nightmare come true.

After Saphirus quickly jotted down this information, while Lotus attached the Porbeagle to a proper sizable leash she summoned, and patched up Saphirus's leg, Saphirus looked up at him with a question. "What happen's when a Porbeagle come's across someone it doesn't like?" Saphirus asked, as Creature gave him a warning glare.

"Be glad that you don't find out" Creature told him, as they journeyed further into the bar, for more information. Creature found what he was looking for, as he sat down in front of a Sharklantean who seemed to have many different Sharklantean's nearby him, as they were of species.

"Are you going to tell me each of these species Creature?" Saphirus asked, as Creature nodded explaining the types of Sharklantean's that stood, or sat parallel to them.

"Sure thing....the first one over here is a Blue Sharklantean" He said, pointing to the first Sharklantean.

The Blue Sharklantean is considered one of the many of the very speed Sharklantean's in the ocean, while many Sharklantean's lock onto their prey using smell, the blue Sharklantean uses not only smell, but sound...using echolocation like the Beluga Whale it can sense prey, miles away before pursuing it, and devouring it.

Creature explained, as Saphirus jotted down more notes about this species of Sharklantean. "Very interesting, what about the next one?" Saphirus asked, as Creature pointed to the next Sharklantean.

"This one is a Thresher Sharklantean" He explained, as the species of Sharklantean gave him a growl.

The Thresher's Sharklantean is a very unique hunter who's method of fighting is odd. This creature's huge tail is used by the Sharklantean to knock out prey, or predators with a single hit. Against very massive Sharklantean's the Thresher's tail whack is known to stun them for a few minute's...on smaller target's, one hit from this massive tail is powerful enough to send them an entire nautical mile away in the water....and knock it's smaller target unconscious. Despite it's huge tail, it's claws are more polydactyle making it more deadlier than usual.

Saphirus was sketching, and writing down each profile of these Sharklantean's. He was thankful that sketching drawing's over the years had helped him. Saphirus stopped after seeing the other big, and powerful Sharklantean gave him a tough threating glare, as both he, Lotus Moon, Echo, and Lovebug Sektiss gulped seeing the huge 9 foot tall Sharklantean. "A-And this one?" Saphrius gulped, earning a chuckle from Creature, as he spoke.

"That would be the Smooth Hammerhead Sharklantean" Creature answered, beginning his explanation.

The Smooth Hammerhead was one of the first many of the Sharklantean's that became it's own species of Sharklantean. When hunting in the water, the Smooth Sharklantean has been known to focus both it's eyes on it's prey without having the need of swimming side to side, like most Hammerhead's would. Do not let this fool you at all, despite this the Sharklantean is very big, and powerful, and has been known to fight Sharklantean's twice it's size.

Saphirus nervously jotted down the notes of the next one, until the final one spoke up with not only species, but his name. "And I am a Bull Sharklantean, but my actual name is Ripjaw" He told him before being kind, and telling the unicorn stallion his species.

The Bull Sharklantean is one out of the most deadly Sharklantean's in the water's. On the tip of it's arm's it's huge fin's are razor sharp which can either be used for extra speed, or as a dagger like weapon which can be used in combat. The Bull Sharklantean is very small, and speedy, but is also the only Sharklantean in existence that enjoy's being in both salt, and freshwater....and feed's on not just Magi Seal, but is also able to feed of fish, and small creatures if diet that other Sharklantean's can't stomach.

Saphirus finished getting the sketch, and of these word's, as Ripjaw spoke. "I can take it from what I'm seeing, and the way they act, they aren't exactly from the Colonies are they?" Ripjaw asked, as Creature shook his head.

"No, they are all from the mainland" Creature answered, as before Ripjaw could speak he spotted Echo who was staring at him with her beautiful eyes.

"Well, well, I've never seen a Bat pony in my life, tell me beautiful, what's your name?" Ripjaw asked, as Echo blushed slightly from his praise before she spoke.

"M-My name is Echo it's nice to meet you" She told them, trying doing her best to stop blushing.

"Echo, that's a pretty name, judging by your outfit I'd say your a guard correct?" He asked, as she tried to act more soldier like standing attention.

"Yes I am part of the Royal Lunar guard for the Princess" Echo stated boldly, as Ripjaw chuckled at her antic's before speaking.

"No need to pose, or act intimidating Echo, I like seeing your relaxed state" He told her, as Echo eased up, easily liking the way he thought before he turned to Lovebug Sektiss, and gave her an odd look. "Who exactly are you, I've never seen a creature like you before, what exactly is your name?" Ripjaw asked, as Lovebug Sektiss spoke nervously in her own voice.

"L-Lovebug Sektiss" She introduced nervously, as Ripjaw immiedietly recognized the type of species she was, just by listening to her tone of voice.

"A Changeling" He realized his voice growing soft, as the other Sharklantean's cracked the bones in their body, and began to move toward Lovebug Sektiss with hostile intent. Ripjaw managed to throw up his claw's stopping the other Sharklantean's in their tracks. "Boy's, boy's, look at the color of her skin, she is clearly not the disgusting bug version that invaded the colonies....perhaps your willing to explain your color scheme" Ripjaw asked her, as Lovebug Sektiss was about to say of being friend's with that particular hive, but chose her words carefully before speaking.

"I am a queen of my own hive, and the Changeling's have changed their way's. We are no longer the love feeding creatures that we were, when we caused trouble to the races on the Mainland before we learned to change our way's by embracing the love inside us which would never run out, and continue to support us....henceforth our new transformation" Lovebug Sektiss explained, as Ripjaw smiled.

"The impure, have purged themselves of sickness to purify their nature....how interesting" Ripjaw smiled, before looking at Lotus Moon, and Saphirus.

"And two unicorn's of the opposite sex....tell me Great White, why are you traveling with such a unique pair when you should be surviving at the Mainland?" Ripjaw asked, as Creature spoke.

"The name is Creature, and right now I have a safe, and tough crew who is developing a cure for the Tryphoceaus virus" He told him, as everyone in the bar gasped loudly before gathering around all of them, wanting to know more, until Ripjaw let out a thundering roar, getting everyone to back away.

"I guess everyone is wondering if your actually creating a cure, and haven't had it contaminated?" Ripjaw asked, as Saphirus spoke.

"No, despite the Infected Sharklantean's we came across when coming near the Infected ocean's, none of them have contaminated the lab we have with our captured specimen. The cure hasn't been developed, and our test result's have yet to conclude of the cure, more testing has to be done before we even work on the proper ingredient's for the cure." Saphirus explained, as Ripjaw looked at him with curiosity.

"So what are all of you doing here, instead of making the cure for the Tryphoceaus virus?" Ripjaw asked, as Creature spoke up.

"Based on the research that Veun told me before her departure, the cure is only designed to cure, Sea ponies, and Siren's safely.....Sharklantean's however will not be safe once the cure is injected into them which leaves me with the following. I have to find one of each species of Sharklantean of each clan, un-infected to start over a new Sharklanteam Kingdom, and there's only one place that I think that will work that will do that, and help us develop the cure further without interruption. Do you know where the island of Poseidon's Breath lies?" Creature asked, as Ripjaw spit out some of the sea like alcohol he was drinking, and shook his head.

"Only a fool would find Poseidon's Breath....that Island had it's own supernatural magic surrounding it, and no one approaches it for good reason. Plus the only ship that made it their by a pirate sea pony crew only caused more paranormal magic on that island. It's suicide" Ripjaw explained, as Creature gave him a dead look in the eyes before speaking.

"Would you rather take your chances with the island, or the entire infection that is currently spreading throughout the ocean?" Creature asked, as Ripjaw let out a deep sigh before speaking.

"Fine, but since we've got no choice besides going with you, as part of the Predator Clan, but there's also more to every piece that we thought about for all of you to know. The Predator Clan has an information scroll located behind the Goddesses throne that explain's which clan kept the map to Poseidon's breath before the Tryphoceaus virus became so deadly. The Dark Clan may have an idea of how the virus work, possibly because it could have been created. The final thing is that the Elemental Clan kept a last resort genesis project when the infection reached to them first"

Ripjaw explained, as Lotus Moon, Saphirus, Echo, and Lovebug Sektiss turned to Creature for answer's. "So where do we start?" Lotus asked, as Creature spoke.

"For now....we will start with the Predator Clan home, the only problem is we'll have to be very careful, because that place is infested to the touch with the virus" Creature explained, as Ripjaw sighed.

"I have seperate item's I can move to your steel ship, but you'll be using a seperate ship to get to Poseidon's breath" Ripjaw warned, as Creature got up, while looking at the Porbeagle that Lotus Moon had on her leash.

"Make sure you bring him, as well.....we are bringing Ripjaw, and these other Sharklantean's are going to be coming with us on our journey" Creature told them, as they all nodded, returning to the big ship that would help them get to the Predator Clan area that all of the current Sharklantean's were marked with the Clan's symbol.

Chapter 10: Beauty of the Moonlight (Clop)

All of them had returned to the ship with ease with the help of their new Sharklantean crewmates. Echo herself seemed to be rather clingy to the new Sharklantean by the name Ripjaw, who seemed to pay it no mind. The other Sharklantean's were able to stay on the ship where they remained, thank's to the updates given to the crew from Pacifica who wanted to help them on their journey. Creature showed them that they had a survivalist jar full of Magic Seal for the other Sharklantean's to feed on for the alternate colony they could begin.

It would be a start, but it wouldn't mean anything unless they had finally created the cure for the Tryphoceaus virus. They were able to get a small bit more of fuel for their journey, but it only meant they had a few days to get to the Predator Clan's home.

Creature, and Ripjaw were discussing their plan on getting inside the Predator Clan. "This is going to be tricky, none of us can't get into the water without the highest risk of Infection......but we need to get into the home of the Predator Clan" Ripjaw explained, doing his best to think. Creature was drawing a huge blank, until an idea came to his mind, causing him to turn to Saphirus.

"Saphirus, is there anyway that you can use some of the technology that the Colonies gave use to create, an underwater drone to navigate a safe area for all of us to get inside the Predator Clan civilization?" Creature asked, as Saphirus began pondering for a minute before he finally spoke.

"I might be able to build something, but it might take a while.....I should have it ready when we arrive to our destiantion" Saphirus explained, as Creature nodded.

"Alright then.....we have an idea, hopefully with another sample of the infection, we should be able to detect an un-infected area that we can get inside" Creature thought, as Ripjaw nodded.

"Then our plan will work, now I'm going to get settled into the room on this ship, I want to see what the Mainland has to offer when it comes to comforting quarter's" Ripjaw explained, as he went to a spare room that the massive ship they had was full of.

*****
Ripjaw has gone into the new quarter's that was given to him, as the Sharklantean stared at the whole thing with great ease before plopping himself on the bed, easing himself into it's surprisingly soft mattress. "Hmmm, it's not exactly the soft, fluidic bed's that Sharklantean's use, but not bad for a bunch of ponies from the Mainland" He smiled, as he brought his hand's behind his head. He looked up at the ceiling before getting into much deep thought, as he spoke. "Funny, for a second I thought all hope was lost, but even though it's of a very small fraction, Creature defiently know's what he's doing, and so is the crew he's with."

Ripjaw said to himself, as he eventually felt himself getting tired, and slowly began falling asleep. What the Sharklantean didn't realize was that he wasn't alone, as Echo silently began to journey toward the drowsy Bull Sharklantean, as she looked at him with extreme interest, and curiosity. A question plagued her mind ever since she got here, and she couldn't find it out from Creature due to his heightened senses. Echo had always been a rather lewd guard pony, and certain thought's were running through her mind. Echo was wearing her usual clad armor, and she knew what her plan was, now she just see if he took the bait.

Ripjaw felt someone's presence, as he could sniff, and sense it out to be the strange Batpony that he had met earlier. Echo was inching closer to him in a slow crawl before he spoke. "Tell me Echo....what bring's you to my quarters?" Ripjaw asked, as Echo looked at him shocked, as she was about to speak, but Ripjaw spoke first. "If your wanting to know how I knew it was you, Creature isn't the only Sharklantean of the Predator Clan with heightened senses" He told her. Echo was trying to think, as she didn't know how to come across this conversation. She had formed a rather weird plan in her mind, and she prayed that it would work.

"I came....just to talk to you, honestly" Echo explained, as Ripjaw looked up at her, and spoke.

"What do you want to talk about?" Ripjaw asked, as Echo asked him a question.

"Firstly, I'm guessing you Sharklanteans have a gender right?" Echo asked, as Ripjaw looked up at her before speaking.

"Well....yes, except when the Goddesses created us, they made all of the Sharklantean's male, but most of the Sharklantean's were male to begin with" Ripjaw explained, as Echo looked at him confused.

"Wait if all of you Sharklantean's are male, did any of you reproduce through gay sex?" Echo asked, as Ripjaw shook his head.

"No, my guess is during the beginning of our planet, the Sharklantean's fed on magic through the planet itself, keeping the balance of our world's nature. The only reason their was so many of us in the ocean's water's was because we kept devouring a lot of magic, but then thing's changed" Ripjaw explained, as Echo formed a theory.

"Is it possible the reason thing's changed was that our planet was generating, and diverting more magic at a much faster pace?" Echo thought, as Ripjaw shrugged.

"Maybe, but I think the reason Goddesses were able to create many of us, and at male age with ease is because our species is on an evolving stage for survival" Ripjaw told her, as Echo raised an eyebrow.

"If you evolved to survive....is it possible that you evolved certain mating tool's to re-produce the Sharklantean species during this crisis?" Echo asked, not only learning more, but getting closer to her prize.

Ripjaw was a bit embarrassed about these word's, as he looked at her with a small uneasiness. "W-Well.....I-I don't really know" Ripjaw stammered, as Echo hid a mischievous grin, as her eyes became more predatory, and her voice became filled with sexual lust.

"Then let's test to see if you do, shall we?" She asked, as she took off her helmet, and her guard armor letting it fall to the floor. Underneath the armor was a purple lunar jumpsuit with a zipper near the top, that showed some of her cleavage.

"E-Echo....w-what are you doing?" Ripjaw asked, as Echo giggled softly, reaching for the zipper on her jumpsuit.

"Oh don't be so alarmed Ripjaw....I want to help you test what we just discussed, but us Lunar guard bat ponies have a few lewd guard's who sometimes can't help themselves when it comes to sex....although I've never done it with a species like you, I at least hope to try" Echo cooed softly, as she unzipped her jumpsuit, and let it slide to the floor. Echo wore a rather bright blue lunar lingerie, as she gazed at him staring at her breast's. "Not bad for a bat pony, wouldn't you say?" Echo asked, as Ripjaw felt a weird, unfamiliar sensation that caused Echo's eyes to go wide. "Whoa" She said in awe seeing what appeared to be the Sharklantean's shaft.

The shaft was almost as big as a Dragon's, but it seemed more shark like. Underneath the shaft near it's base were small ripples in it, that appeared to act as vein's as the tip itself was mostly reptilian. The girth of it was rather wide, as Echo drooled at the sight. "Huh....I guess the rumor of Shark's having two penises is incorrect, but maybe that's a good thing" She cooed softly, as Ripjaw spoke.

"That technically isn't real, I think Sharklantean's instead of having two for extra stimulation, our's just has sheer girth" Ripjaw theorized, as Echo gave him a predatory gaze.

"I like it, but it's not fair that your the only one naked" She cooed, as she unclipped her bra, and flung it to the side before slowly sliding her panties off, and throwing them to where her bra was. Echo's beautiful body was shone, as Ripjaw gazed at her bouncy D-Cup breast's, her dark gray nipples being rock hard. Her lower lip's were drenching with her juices, as she crawled seductively toward's Ripjaw. "Like what you see?" Echo purred. Ripjaw didn't respond, as an unusual instinct took over his mind, his eyes becoming blank pink. He pounced on the Batpony, and began giving the mare soft, lovebites on her neck, and collarbone.

Echo threw her head back, as she moaned loudly, her body becoming putty in Ripjaw's claws. His lovebites turned to kisses, as he kissed her neck, belly, and even stealing a kiss to her pussy, making her shiver in delight. "P-Please d-don't tease me you animal.....just fuck me" She whimpered, as Ripjaw let out a snarl, wanting to do more. Ripjaw began kissing the areola of her breast's before licking, and sucking on her nipples. "Oh fuck.....mmmmm that feels so good" Echo moaned, as he began sucking on her breast's, while grabbing, and playing with her boob flesh. Echo's coo's were turning into moan's, as the bed began to drip with her juices.

Ripjaw seperated his jaw from her breast's, as Echo was panting from the special attention to her breast's. "W-Why did you stop?" She whimpered, as the Sharklantean grinned. He pressed his body against her's before tackling Echo to the bed with Ripjaw on top. Echo's breathing got faster, as he spread her leg's wider exposing her dripping sex. He wrapped his tail, around both their bodies, pressing them together with skin on skin contact, as his dick thrusted into her tight, wet pussy. "FUUUUUUCCCKKKKKK!!!!!!!!" Echo moaned, as her inner wall's gripped his shaft like a vice, while her leg's wrapped around his body.

"YOUR SOOOO BIIIIIGGGGGG!!!!!!!!" Echo moaned, her pussy getting used to the thick girthy rod that was inside her. Ripjaw kept his body pressed to her's, as he began fucking the bat pony mare beneath him with harsh brute like force, making her scream in ecstasy. "FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK.....AAAAHHHH, AAAAAHHHH YEEESSS, DON'T STOP......AAAAHHHH, AAAAHHH, AAAHHHH, FUUUUUCCCCCKK YEEEEAAAAHHHH.....AAAAAAAHHHNNNNNN"Echo's screamed feeling his thick rod, pound the deepest part's of her pussy. Echo was entering mind shattering bliss, as he continued to fuck her non-stop.

Echo was losing herself to the pleasure, as she pinned her breast's to his chest, letting him have his way with her. "AAAAAHHH, AAAAHHHH, AAAAAHHH, RIGHT THERE.....I'M GONNA CUM.....OOOOOOOHHHH FUUUUUUCCCCCKKKKK!!!!!!!!" Echo squealed, as her body convulsed, as her hot juices squirted out of her pussy, while his oceanic seed pumped deep into her pussy. Echo moaned, as she came down from her climax, as Ripjaw only growled about to do something that caught Echo's eye immedietly. "WAIT GIVE ME MORE TIME TO RECOVER FROM MY......."

Before Echo could even finished, Ripjaw began ramming his thick rod in, and out of her pussy again, as her eyes rolled back, and her tongue lolled out in ecstasy. "AAAAAAHHHHH FUUUUUUCCCKKKK!!!!!!!!!" Echo screamed, as he continued thrusting in, and out of her, while Echo dug her nail's into the Sharklantean's skin, her moaning reaching the highest peak's. "AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AAAAAHHHH YEEESSS, FUCK ME YOU BEAST.....AAAAHHH, AAAAAAHHHH, AAAAAAHHHHHH, I'M NOT GONNA LAST!!!!!!" Echo squealed, as her pussy began to tighten on his shaft again, feeling another orgasm about to hit her.

"OH RIPJAW......FUUUUUCCCCKKKKK!!!!!!!!" She screamed, as both of them climaxed again. Echo's body quaked, as more of her juices squirted out of her pussy, as more of Ripjaw's Sharklantean seed flooded her depth's. Echo was almost reaching her limit, a bulge in her belly beginning to develop, as she was panting heavily. "I...I....may not have....enough.....for one more" She panted, as Ripjaw stayed inside of her. Ripjaw began to feel along her soft, feminine figure, before shifting her into a spooning position,his shaft sinking deep into her womb, her right leg on his shoulder, as her entire body entered euphoria.

"UUUUHHHHNNNN!!!!!!" Echo moaned, her tongue lolling out from sheer pleasure, as Ripjaw began fucking her silly. Echo couldn't even think, her mind clouded by sexual lust, her body in overdrive, being Ripjaw'e sex toy. Multiple whorish moan's escaped her lip's, as she got closer, and closer to her another orgasm, as they climaxed a third time. More of Echo's juices gushed out of her pussy, while Ripjaw's seed ejaculated deep into her womb, as the bulge on her belly grew. Ripjaw pulled out of her satisfied, as her entire body shook, as all of the cum inside of her, spilled out, another moan escaping Echo's lip's.

Ripjaw snuggled the suprised mare, as she melted into his embrace, his eyes returning back to normal. Echo soon heard him fast asleep, as she sighed blissfully. "That was amazing.....I may need to do some more "testing" with you in the future" Echo whispered softly before kissing the tip of his snout before letting sleep claim her, as well.

*****
"You sure caused a bit of a ruckus for that dress Lotus, there's no idea how these Colonies react to us from being from the Mainland....especially with how they responded to Lovebug Sektiss." Saphirus warned her, as Lotus Moon looked at herself through a mirror trying to see if the dress would fit her before having a pouty face on her.

"Oh come on Saphy, I wanted to get this dress so that you, and I can have another rather romantic night, plus wouldn't it be amazing if you, and I danced romantically in our nicest clothes?" Lotus Moon asked, as Saphirus blushed, while cursing his inner thought's of not thinking about that sooner.

"Yeah your right, I guess with everything that's going on I'm rather....scared" Saphirus sighed, looking out the window. Lotus Moon didn't like the sound of that tone he emitted, as she lowered the dress, and looked at Saphirus with concern.

"S-Saphy.....w-what are you so scared about?" Lotus asked, as Saphirus spoke.

"This whole Tryphoceaus virus has got me rattled, I feel terrified of what happen's if you were infected Lotus if me, and Zecora wouldn't make the cure, then I could lose you forever" He told her, doing his best not to sound terrified. Lotus immiedietly dropped her dress, and ran to Saphirus, as she clutched him tightly.

"Don't You Say That....." She told him, her voice breaking, as Saphirus heard her before trying to speak.

"L-Lotus......" Saphirus began to speak until Lotus Moon spoke, as she broke down into tear's.

"DON'T YOU SAY THAT SAPHY.....DO YOU KNOW HOW TERRIFYING IT IS TO SEE YOU IN THAT LAB, EVERY DAY WITH THAT INFECTED SPECIMEN.....WITH THE HIGH CHANCES OF YOU BECOMING INFECTED IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG......" Lotus Moon cried, as she began sobbing uncontrollably onto his back, drenching his shirt with her tear's. ".....THE IDEA OF YOU TURNING INTO ONE OF THOSE THING'S COMPLETELY TERRIFIES ME......I JUST WANT TO BE FREE....WITH YOU" Lotus Moon sobbed, as she let out her tear's. Saphirus turned around, and embraced Lotus, letting her sob on his shoulder. He stopped, and looked her in the eyes, wiping her tears away.

"Lotus.....whatever happen's on this journey.....I won't let that happen, I will always be with you Lotus.....I promise" Saphirus told her, as Lotus wiped away her tears before speaking.

"....And I will also promise you the same thing Saphy....no matter what happen's....." Lotus spoke, as she put her hand on his cheek, and stared deeply into his eyes. "......I will always be with you....I promise" She told him, as both of them melted in a deep passionate kiss. After they seperated from that kiss, Lotus Moon forget about her initial plan's, and guided Saphirus over to the bed, and tackled him. Lotus Moon kissed him again, with both lust, and passion behind the kiss, enjoying every minute of it. Both of them seperated, panting from the amazing kiss they just had. Saphirus quickly took off his shirt, and unbuckled his pant's, as Lotus Moon began taking off her clothes.

Both of them were in their undegarment's, as they shared another lustful kiss. Saphirus felt rather brave, as he groped Lotus left breast, enlicting a muffled moan from the unicorn mare. Both of them seperated from the kiss, as Lotus used her magic to take his underwear off, exposing his huge rod to him. "Oh Sapphy" Lotus purred seductively, as she quickly, un-clipped her bra, and took off her panties along with it, exposing her naked body to her lover.

"Your so beautiful Lotus" Sapphy whispered, as the mare above him, shuddered from those word's, her winking marehood absolutely drenched with her juices.

"Your too good to me Sapphy, now shut up, and fuck me stud" Lotus growled, as she pinned him to the bed. Her beautiful breast's pressed against his toned chest, as she impaled herself on his rock hard shaft, a loud moan escaping her lip's. "AAAAHHHH SAPPPHYYY!!!!!!!" She cried, as her inner wall's clenched down on his rod. Saphirus let out a groan, feeling the tightness of his hot marefriend. Both of them began moving in unison in a rough pace, as the lewd slapping sound's of sex filled the room. "AAAHHH, AAAHHHH, AAAAHHHH, AAAAAHHHHH, SAPPHY......YOUR SO GOOOOODDD!!!!!!!" Lotus Moon screamed, as each slap sent her to a much blissful euphoria.

"L-LOOTUUUSSS!!!!!!" Saphirus growled, as Lotus Moon continued to ride her coltfriend. She was very into this, even though it hadn't been so long, she really wanted to show Saphirus how special he was to her, and she was close to the edge. "Lotus......I'm close" Saphirus growled, as Lotus screamed her response.

"DON'T HOLD BACK SAPPHY...CUM INSIDE ME....PLEASE.......AAAAAAAHHHHNNNNN!!!!!!" Lotus Moon screamed, as she threw her head back, her back arching, as she hit her orgasm. Saphirus couldn't help, but let out a loud groan, as he hit his orgasm with her, their mixed juices flooding the inside of her pussy, as both of them came down from their orgasm. Lotus Moon collapsed on top of Saphirus, as both of them began to drift off to sleep. "I love you Sapphy" Lotus Moon sighed passionetly, as Saphirus snuggled her close with a peaceful smile on his face.

"I love you too Lotus" He whispered to her, as both of them closed their eyes, and fell asleep.

Chapter 11: Shakurantian no Kuchi (Gore)

After many pleasant night's, and much relaxation spent, it wasn't long before they made their way to where the Predator Clan civilization used to be. Creature, and Ripjaw had looked down at the water's below, seeing thousand's of the Infected Sharklantean's passing by, for some reason ignoring the vessel that rested at the top. Rainbow Dash, Lovebug Sektiss, Lotus Moon, Saphirus, and Echo all stared down into the waters below with the two un-infected Sharklantean's that layed deep in those water's. "I don't get it....why are they not attacking us, don't they know where right above them?" Saphirus asked, as one of the Infected Sharklantean's looked up at Saphirus with it's bloodied maw before slowly turning back, circling the other's.

"It seem's that all of them know we are here, but judging by the way they are circling the civilization, they are waiting for us to jump right in, and then swarm us from all sides" Creature explained, as Lovebug Sektiss spoke up.

"That is if the infection doesn't hit us with it's first progression" She scoffed, as Creature turned to the Changeling.

"The infection last day's, not second's even if we were infected they would make sure to get a bite out of us to make the infection instant" Creature explained, as they both looked down into the water itself.

"I do not like the look of this at all.....they almost remind me of a swarm of ugly spiders playing dead to get there prey" Lotus shivered, as Saphirus pulled up a remote control drone that he developed during the past few day's of their travel.

"Well, this drone is the best I could create in such a short span of time, thankfully it should be able to get the job you wanted done, but I don't know the layout of this civilization" Saphirus explained, as Creature stood over his shoulder to help guide the drone that Saphirus had already thrown into the water.

"Don't worry I will act as guide through the vast tunnel's that the civilaztion had." Creature assured him, as Saphirus nodded before putting the drone's sensor on.

"Man....the look on these scanner's say that most of it is already infected" Saphirus realized, as Creature let out a deep sigh.

"Almost all of the place was nearly pure except the Quarantine zone when I was last there....the final Sharklantean was about to reach the final stage of infection, signaling that the Predator Clan's colony was no longer safe, and I had to leave the area with the future of all Sharklantean's at my disposal" Creature explained, as Saphirus leaned his head back a bit, but kept his eyes on the drone's viewscreen.

"Where exactly is the tunnel you exited out of?" Saphirus asked, seeing the many, aquatic tunnels of rock, as Creature pointed to the center one.

"There, that was the last un-infected tunnel" Creature answered, pointing at it with his huge clawed finger. Saphirus piloted the drone inside the tunnel that Creature had pointed out, while scanning the outer tunnel, and when getting to the steel door, also using an x-ray scan for the inner part of the area.

"Gaaahh.....it's no good that last tunnel has been scanned as Infected both inside, and out." Saphirus grumbled, as Ripjaw growled angrily.

"DAMMIT.....THAT WAS THE ONLY WAY INSIDE THE COLONY, HOW ARE WE SUPPOSE TO GET IN THERE NOW!?!?!?!?!?!" Ripjaw asked, as Saphirus spotted something very odd, that looked like some very good news for them.

"Wait a minute I think I found an odd hole that lead's to the surface that isn't Infected.....here take a look" Saphirus mentioned, handing Creature the huge tablet that had the drone's camera's on, and working with the infection camera. Creature spotted a clear, underwater current that look like it led inside the Predator Clan's civilization.

"That's the Predator Clan's oceanic recycle current, the cleaner bot's in that substation must still be active, and are preventing from the Infection getting through that access hatch....it's both a way in, and out of the civilization....but be warned the infection is already inside, and may have already mutated" Creature explained, as Saphirus smiled.

"Well we have our way in, and judging by the speed of the current the rest of you will be diving down, and riding it?" Rainbow Dash asked, as Creature nodded.

"Indeed, Captain Rainbow Dash that's just the strategy for us to use, and we'll be able to find some info on Poseidon's breath, and the location of the other Clan's...and maybe even a cure for the infection itself." Creature replied with a confident smile on his face.

"No offense, but me, and Echo are going to be staying on the ship thank you very much, bat ponies, and Pegasi aren't really good deep sea diver's" Rainbow Dash told him, as she folded her arm's.

"That's okay, besides I would agree with you nonetheless" Echo responded, as Lovebug Sektiss sighed before speaking.

"I'm staying on this boat too, someone need's to have a defense just in case the Infected Sharklantean's attempt to attack our boat, and Changeling's don't really belong underwater" Lovebug Sektiss explained, as Rainbow Dash had a smug smile on her face before speaking.

"Maybe that's why you Changeling's were defeated by the Sharklantean's so easily in the past, because you couldn't swim to the kingdom's, and attack them from the inside out" Rainbow Dash chuckled, as Lovebug Sektiss responded, by raising her middle finger at the Pegasaus. Rainbow Dash merely brushed the earlier insult to her off, as she went to pilot the ship, and adjusted the course of the vessel to their entry point. Lotus Moon, and Saphirus had gotten into their scuba diving gear that they packed with them which also protected their weapon's from water damage, as they looked down at the huge current with Creature, and Ripjaw.

"Just the four of us going into one of the lion's den.....joy" Saphirus sighed, as Lotus Moon gave him a quick peck on the cheek before smiling.

"Don't worry Saphy.....we've got this, plus maybe you can take notes when we get back to the ship" Lotus Moon suggested, as Saphirus looked at her with a smile.

"Your right Lotus.....we've got this.....together" Saphirus smiled, as the two, and the Sharklantean's looked down at the huge ocean.

"3.....2.....1.......HERE WE GO!!!!!!!!!" Creature roared, as all of them jumped into the water. The current was in a whirlpool shape, as it sounded like it was roaring. All of them rode the very powerful current, passing, and dodging many of the huge, futuristic, underwater cleaning bot's that kept the current the way it was, and the place un-infected. Lotus could feel her heart pounding, her breathing getting heavy, as she kept an eye on her oxygen tank. Saphirus also made sure to keep an eye on his oxygen tank to not run out of air. Lotus managed to calm herself down, and stayed focused before all of them journeyed inside the huge underwater cave system that was the home of the Predator Clan.

The current died down, and the outside ocean began to vanish, as huge cave tunnel's led them inside, and caused them to surface in a abandoned, incomplete docking station. All four of them got out, as Lotus, and Saphirus gasped for air, taking off the flippers, and oxygen tank's before bringing out their weapon's, and staying on guard. Creature, and Ripjaw were on the heaviest guard, scanning the entire area, not coming across anything. The place seemed clear, but eerie, as both Sharklantean's continued forward. "This way" Creature told them, as they all journeyed across the engine room like hall's, as Saphirus stared at it with amazement.

"Whoa.....so this is the bottom area of civilization....wow...." Saphirus said in disbelief, as he looked at a tank storage room that seemed to be connected to the other areas of the ocean. The water itself was blood red, and so thick it looked like a tank of blood, and not ocean water that was infected.

"Um.....why do you all have tank's of blood running through this area?" Lotus Moon asked, as Ripjaw replied.

"Those aren't tank's of blood....those enormous tank's allow the docking areas to flood, and dump water in the room's with each Sharklanteans departure, or arrival. The reason the water itself is blood red, is when the Tryphoceaus virus in the Zombie Sharklantean's is spread through water, the water itself changes color. If the water is blue the infection hasn't arrived. If the water is dark purple the infection has taken over the ocean itself, if it's blood red then the virus has been in that part of the ocean for so long that is has replaced the ocean water with it's own water essence form" Ripjaw explained, as they continued onward.

"Wait if the Infection's that bad, and the cure hasn't been created, how are the cleaning bot's keeping that current un-infected?" Lotus Moon asked, as Creature answered her question.

"The bot's have a huge back-up generator than can last for almost a full week, and the room that control's the bot's seem's to have something keeping the Zombie Sharklantean's out" Creature explained.

"Do you think we can take apart one of the cleaning bot's, and get a sample of the cure that way?" Lotus Moon asked.

"Becasue they are our only way in, and out without being Infected, we try to take one apart, and we'll be Infected" Ripjaw answered, as Lotus Moon spoke again.

"Ok then let's not touch 'em" She said hurriedly. Three huge boom's were heard, as they all came across three un-infected Sharklantean's that got in there way. All of them had their weapon's ready, as the Sharklantean's looked to be in survival mode their eyes blood red. One of them was 12 feet tall, while the other two were only 9 feet tall.

"Three more species of Sharklantean of the Predator Clan, which one are these?" Saphirus asked, as Creature spoke.

"The first one on the left is a Basking Sharklantean" Creature answered.

The Basking Sharklantean has a similar battle strategy to the Thresher Sharklantean except with a few differences. It uses a tail attack in battle, and it uses it's claws. There is one difference to it's eating habit....it is the only Sharklantean that lives, by feeding off microscopic organism's that live in the ocean, that refill it's body with magic. It swim's in the water with it's mouth wide open to be fed, as it devour's it's prey. It also immune to places with extreme heat.

Saphirus had kept this info in mind, as Lotus Moon spoke up. "What type of Sharklantean is on the right?" She asked, as Ripjaw spoke up.

"That would be a Megamouth Sharklantean" Ripjaw replied.

The Megamouth Sharklantean is a tough Sharklantean who is one out of many Sharklantean's that has a lot of jaw strength. It's bite force is very powerful to break it's enemies in half, or rip flesh from bone. If it's jaw strength isn't enough, it's powerful punches are just as savage, as is it's jaws when this Sharklantean attack's.

Saphirus shuddered at the thought of hearing this information before a deep thundering voice spoke up. "Stand down....brother's, these are allies" The third Sharklantean spoke, as he looked down at the two Sharklantean's of the same clan. "It's good to see some fellow Sharklantean faces of the same clan....I am Tigerclaw" The Sharklantean introduced, as Ripjaw, and Creature both introduced themselves. "Thank the goddesses your all here, we've been trapped in this room for an entire week, and have had to force feed ourselves some ration's not of our liking, just to survive" Tigerclaw told them, as Creature spoke.

"I thought all of the other Sharklantean's had either left, or were already infected" Creature pondered, as Tigerclaw spoke.

"I came back to retrieve a few thing's, but by the time I did, shit had gone down. The quarantine was lose, and we both had to retreat. I had to save these Sharklantean's in the process, and we've been trapped in this room for a whole week" Tigerclaw explained, as Saphirus spoke up.

"What Sharklantean species are you?" Saphirus asked, easily wanting to know more so that he could remember much later. Tigerclaw looked down at the Equestrian Unicorn before speaking.

"So......Creature brought help huh....to be honest I may have overheard your conversation with Veun before everything went down, what do you have planned Creature?" Tigerclaw asked, as Lotus Moon spoke up.

"HEY, DON'T INGORE US!!!!!!!!" Lotus Moon shouted with her hand's on her hip's, as Creature smiled before speaking.

"I will tell you, after your answer Saphirus's question" Creature explained, as Tigerclaw nodded before turning to Saphirus.

"Apologies, I wanted to make sure that you two were with Creature....as for your earlier question sir.....I am a Tiger Sharklantean.

Tiger Sharklantean's are as unique as they are dangerous as Bull Sharklantean's, and Great White Sharklantean's. Similar to the Bull Sharklantean the tipped fin's on their arm's are sharp, and can be used in battle, while the Bulll Sharklantean's one's are bigger, and act more like sword's...the Tiger Sharklantean's are smaller, and act like knives due to it's size, and muscle. Among many other's of the Sharklantean species....the Tiger's feet are Polydactyle, able to bee full humanoid with five toes, and claw's. They are heavy hitter's, powerful biter's, and one of the hardest tail whacker's.
Not only that, but these Sharklantean's are one of the highest jumper's, able to reach areas that other Sharklantean's can't.

Saphirus was rather interested in this information, but was able to put it aside like all of the other Sharklantean's information. He, and his marefriend also introduced themselves to Tigerclaw, as he introduced himself, and the other two Sharklantean's even though they didn't talk.

"So as I asked before, what do you have planned Creature?" Tigerclaw asked, as Creature spoke.

"I plan to find the map that tell's me the location of the other three Clan's, also search for the map to Poseidon's breath, and see if I can find a sample for making a cure for this virus as well" Creature explained, as Tigerclaw let out a deep sigh.

"Well....your going to have to do a lot of fighting to get to it. Those are going to be in Veun's secret quarter's, but beyond the door we are all standing in front of there's Infected Sharklantean's, so when the door's open........" Tigerclaw explained, as Lotus Moon finished his sentence.

".....We are going to have A LOT, of company" Lotus Moon told him, as Tigerclaw nodded.

"Let's get ready, because this is going to be hectic, and whatever you do, don't let them scratch, or bite you" Creature told them, as all of them prepared for battle.

*****
Rainbow Dash, Echo, and Lovebug Sektiss were all on the floating ship, as they looked like they were completely bored. Many minutes had ticked by, and it felt like their was almost nothing to do. The three mares mostly sulked around, as even more minutes ticked by, as Lovebug let out a long sigh before speaking. "UUUGGGHHH, This is so boring what's taking so long already?" Lovebug Sektiss whined, as Rainbow Dash looked at her, and spoke.

"Hey Changeling this process isn't exactly quick take a chill pill, and keep quiet" Rainbow Dash told her, as Lovebug Sektiss rolled her eyes.

"Hey, I'm at least staying behind to help guard this ship even though I have to deal with you Rainbow" Lovebug Sektiss growled, as Rainbow gave her a cold response.

"It's not exactly a part for me either ya bitch ass hoe" Rainbow scoffed, further angering the Changeling who had been having a bit of trouble getting along with her the past few day's.

"HOW ABOUT I PUT MY FIST WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS!!!!!!!!!!" Lovebug growled, making Rainbow Dash snarl, as she approached her with an angry stare.

"Oh you want fight me huh....Bring it bitch, BRING IT!!!!!!!!!!!" Rainbow growled, as the two mares were about to charge at each other, until Echo got in between them pushing them aside.

"ENOUGH......BOTH OF YOU, I get both of you are the wild one's, and have a lot of trouble getting along lately, but right now we can't continue fighting amongst each other, so I need both of you mare's....'TA GET ALONG!!!!!!!!" Echo shouted, as both mares sighed looking completely bored, as Lovebug spoke.

"Ugh, it's even too boring to try to start a fight with my rival" Lovebug Sektiss sighed, as Rainbow Dash wore the same face.

"Same, I wish the other's would also get back so that we can continue on our journey" Rainbow Dash sighed, as Echo had her back turned to them, as her eyes widened with horror. The two mare's were oblivious, as on the port side of the ship, a few Infected Sharklantean's were coming onboard letting out their low growl's.

"Um.....girl's" Echo said, as Lovebug was about to agree before both she, and Rainbow Dash heard the growling of the Infected Sharklantean's onboard, as both mare's stood up before speaking in unison.

"We're under attack by Infected Sharklantean's aren't we?" They both asked, as they heard one of the Infected Sharklantean's roar. Rainbow Dash pulled out her gun's, while Echo's katana's were already drawn, as Lovebug Sektiss accelerated high into the air, as all three of them began to fend of the Infected Sharklantean horde climbing onboard.

*****
The door was kicked open, and all of them charged into many Infected Sharklantean's, fighting the huge horde that was in the way. Saphirus used his rocket firing mode on the metal fist's he wore, pushing the Sharklantean's back before magnetically attracting the metal gloves back to himself, as they pushed forward. Tigerclaw bashed his enemies back further, while also using his razor sharp, arm fin's to slice many of them in half, or use his bare fist's to beat them to death. Even with the help of the Sharklantean's with Tigerclaw there were still many Infected Sharklantean's that wanted to end their lives.

Saphirus had did his best to push forward, as the many Infected Sharklantean's were trying to overwhelm him, and Lotus. One attempted to chomp on his glove, but Saphirus managed to step back, before letting his metal glove drill into the Infected Sharklantean, as it's blood gushed from it's caved in head. Four more attempted to charge Saphirus at once, but he managed to use both skill, and speed to avoid their infected attack's. He jumped high into the air behind them, and bashed his fist's hard into two of the Infected Sharklantean's at once making blood spray everywhere.

He quickly took the other two on, breaking their arm's, and leg's before beating their faces into a bloody mush. The last one was about to charge in for another attack, but Saphirus delivered a roundhouse kick to the Sharklantean's face, and bashed it's brain's out with a single punch, as the dead Infected Sharklantean tipped over, and hit the ground. Lotus Moon raced forward, as she leaped off her coltfriend's shoulder's, and brought her staff down making their head's explode from the shear power of her attack. She twisted her body to land, and bashed three more Infected Sharklantean's head's open letting blood, and brain fluid spill everywhere.

Lotus Moon twirled her hip's for a better attack, as she slammed her staff into another Infected Sharklantean, killing it instantly.
All of them continued pushing forward with their attack's doing their best to slaughter the Sharklantean's, all of them being thankful that none of them were scratched, or bitten. They managed to break into Veun's quarter's which seem to have some very naughty poster's of herself on the ceiling, while also having a nice Queen sized bed, and a holder for her legendary Clan staff she once carried with her. "Search everywhere for clues....TIGERCLAW SEAL THE DOOR!!!!!!!!"

Creature shouted, as he barricaded the door shut, while also chopping off the arm's of the Infected Sharklantean's who were trying to be super grabby.

All of them began looking around, as they did their best to find some clues. "Wow.....this place has so much architecture to it for an oceanic predator species.....these material's would put Rarity's famous boutique to shame" Lotus Moon realized, as she, and Saphirus couldn't help, but eye certain areas that had many unknown thing's of the Sharklantean's culture. Creature finally came across what appeared to be an old set of scroll's, and map's which may have the information they needed. "I found something, it look's like Veun had jotted down the map to finding the other Clan's."

Creature told them, as he kept the map in hand. "That's good to know, but there's still some stuff that we need to find" Ripjaw spoke, as he continued looking around before coming across what appeared to be a rather fat book that Veun had written that had dated the entire history of the Predator Clan. "This must be our Clan's heritage that she wrote down for when she was assigned to guide the Predator Clan, but why did she not give it to you to escape when this place was becoming infected?" Ripjaw asked, as Creature kept the map before going to the book itself.

"She may have left it here, becasue she must have thought that someday I would come back here" Creature explained, as he let Ripjaw grab the book, and kept it with them. The door began banging getting the attention, as the metal door was getting many dent's in it.

"That's not going to hold much longer, what exactly do we do?" Lotus Moon asked, as she pulled out her staff again, while Saphirus got his bulky metal gloves on ready for action.

"It's simple......we fight our way out" Tigerclaw snarled, as he readied for action, as the Sharklantean's got into their signature fighting position. When the door's finally broke, they charged through the swarm of Infected Sharklantean's, as blood, dead Infected Sharklantean's, and even injured ones, flew everywhere. All of them pushed forward, mercilessly bashing, and gutting the Infected Sharklantean's so keen on spreading the plague. They ended up entering the same room, somehow being unscathed. Creature, Lotus Moon, Saphirus, and Ripjaw all continued to their destination.

They got to the current that brought them in, as Lotus Moon, and Saphirus made sure to get their scuba gear on before diving into the current which slingshot them all onto the boat. Even on the ship it was a huge battle, as Lovebug Sektiss fired her massive ray's of Changeling magic that knocked the Infected Sharklantean's off the ship. Rainbow Dash acrobatically jumped high into the air, using multiple angles to her advantage, as she unloaded many pistol round's into the Infected Sharklantean's. Echo herself was making short work of the Sharklantean's, as each one of her deadly slashes from her twin katana's cut them down into little bit's.

"CAPTAIN RAINBOW DASH......GET US OUT OF HERE!!!!!!!!!" Creature thundered, as Rainbow Dash panted, getting a glimpse at them, before burying a bullet in an Infected Sharklantean's brain, as it fell into the water.

"I'M A LITTLE BUSY AT THE MOMENT!!!!!!!!!" She shouted back, as she continued fighting off more of the horde. Tigerclaw used his instinct, as he ran behind the wheel, and quickly shifted the ship back on course, as everyone fell down onto the deck, while the Infected Sharklantean's themselves fell off the ship. Rainbow Dash took off running, as she managed to get Tigerclaw off the wheel, and pilot the ship, getting farther out to the Infected Ocean, and away from the former Predator Clan civilization.

"Did....the Book, the map.....are they ruined?" Lotus asked, still panting from all of those attack's from their enemies. Creature looked down at the map, and book that he, and Ripjaw carried, finding them to be completely fine, as Saphirus looked at it surprised.

"B-But.....how, you didn't really protect it when we were in the water, how are both of these not ruined?" Saphirus asked, as both Sharklantean's stared at the book, and scroll seeing a blue magical glow surrounding it.

"A water protection spell.....clever, let's get our new guest's, and everyone else settled in so that we can make our next move" Creature explained, as he journeyed down to the lab with Saphirus, as Lotus Moon, and Lovebug Sektiss followed close behind them, wanting to know what information they found.

Chapter 12: Search of the Ancient Clan Part 1 (Into the Depths of the Abyss)

Tigerclaw had settled in just fine, along with the other surviving Sharklantean's being the Megamouth Sharklantean, and the Basking Sharklantean. Even though it had been a struggle for the Sharklantean's to eat anything with such limited food supply, every so often, Lotus Moon would come down to where they were giving a few amount's of Unicorn magic to certain steak flesh, as they fed on the little food to survive. Few of the Sharklantean's didn't like the idea of being in such a small place which was getting more cramped with each Sharklantean being added, but it was better than being out in the waters from the nasty Infected Sharklantean's.

Saphirus was rather concerned a few times with Lotus using her magic to keep the oceanic creatures alive, but she told him that just one of each species needed to thrive, and survive despite how many there were. Saphirus didn't like the idea, but he ended up agreeing because he had hate to hear of an advance oceanic apex predator perish, especially with possible secret's to make trade with Princess Twilight Sparkle, in a possible alliance, and futuristic utopia of Equestria, and the Oceanic Colonies. Zecora was looking through the text's of the book that Ripjaw recovered from the Predator Clan civilization.

She curiously stared at the strange ancient language that was written in text, as Lovebug Sektiss was rather suprised how she was able to read it, and understand the book itself. "Zecora, how are you able to understand any of that.....chicken scratch?" Lovebug Sektiss asked, as Zecora looked at her with a smile, and gave the Changeling a dismissive wave.

"Ah, but this is not chicken scratch young Changeling.....my people helped me study many ancient languages for cure's, and treating symptom's. I am marveled by the language this book has for me, for reading it's mysterious text's are quite the interesting feat. A challenging language that I have been able to translate" Zecora explained, as Creature stepped forward giving the zebra a serious look before speaking.

"Is there anything useful that you have learned?" Creature asked, as Zecora spoke.

"Indeed, even though it is not complete, this book has given me much to think. It hasn't given me a full formula of a cure for our patient to treat, I may have made a breakthrough in about a week" Zecora explained, as Ripjaw spoke up.

"What about the rest of the formula?" Ripjaw asked, as Zecora looked at the text's of the book, and spoke.

"The Dark Clan was the one who accidentally released the virus by accident, due to a failed experimentation. According to this they have the formula that caused this virus, which may be reversed engineered into a cure, but there are also text's from the Ancient Clan who hold the map to Poseidon's breath, and the Elemental Clan, hold a key to the Sharklantean's future survival" Zecora answered, as Creature sighed before speaking.

"We'll have to go after the map to Poseidon's Breath first; as much, as I hate to say it. Our ship is starting to run low on fuel with the close call's we've had these past few day's, were going to need that new ship that you said would help us Ripjaw" Creature told him, as Ripjaw let out a deep sigh.

"The ship your looking for is actually much better than this ship, not needing to rely on fuel. The only problem is, in order to hide the vessel....me, and a friend of mine hid the ship, and made it appear as ship wreck. My buyer is a part of the Ancient Clan, but he's only in one place......Ouvera" He explained, as Tigerclaw (who had just walked in) heard that part, and growled.

"No way man.....that place has to be a Zombie Sharklantean infested hellhole, how in Equestria are we going to get there, let alone if our buyer has survived there?" Tigerclaw asked, as Ripjaw smiled.

"Not only is my friend, a very successful buyer, but you also forget, Ancient Sharklantean's are tough, and with the hired help he has.....he's probably living like a royal vigilante by now" Ripjaw answered, as Saphirus chuckled.

"He sound's like someone who get's around a lot, in that case it's going to be fun" Saphirus smiled, as Creature turned to Ripjaw before speaking.

"Can you give Captain Rainbow Dash the co-ordinates to the place where we can use this ship?" Creature asked, as Ripjaw looked at the Sharklantean before replying.

"Yeah, it's going to take all of our remaining fuel, but getting to that area, is not going to be easy at all" Ripjaw answered, as Lovebug Sektiss rolled her eyes.

"I'd hate admitting this, but do you really think it's a risk for the Captain to use up the last of our fuel, for pursuing a lead we might not find?" Lovebug Sektiss asked, as Ripjaw looked at the Changeling, and spoke.

"It's our only shot of us being able to get to the Poseidon's breath, and the only ship big enough to fit what this ship has.....it's our best bet" Ripjaw explained, as Tigerclaw looked at Lovebug Sektiss, and scoffed.

"Leave it to a pathetic Impure to doubt a Sharklantean's judgement" Tigerclaw growled, as Lovebug Sektiss's blood boiled, as she gave him an aggressive look.

"Get this pal.....I.....DO.......NOT......like to be labeled by that racist name....so call me Lovebug Sektiss, or just Sektiss.....Ok?" She growled, as Tigerclaw only shrugged before speaking.

"Whatever ya say bimbo" Tigerclaw, as Lovebug Sektiss's eyes were fuming with rage, as Lotus Moon spoke.

"Oh no he didn't" She realized, as Saphirus let out a deep sigh.

"Oooohh boooyyy" He groaned, as Lovebug Setkiss began speaking.

"Bimbo.......BImbo......BIMBO.......WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU JUST FUCKING SAY TO ME YOU LITTLE FUCKING BITCH, I HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO BEAT YOUR BIG FAT ASS, AND FEED YOU TO THE INFECTION SHARKLANTEAN'S OVERBOARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Lovebug Sektiss screamed, as Tigerclaw didn't seem fazed, but softened his expression before speaking.

"My apologies, I guess I have to get use to working with you Impu.....or I mean Sektiss" He replied, as Lovebug Sektiss managed to calm down slightly, as she sighed.

"Good, that's better.....ugh, some of this trip has given me a few headaches" Lovebug groaned, as Tigerclaw smiled.

"Probably because your a very cranky Changeling" He scoffed, as Lovebug Sektiss's eyes began twitching, as Tigerclaw smiled, and began leaving the area, while Creature, and Ripjaw were holding Lovebug Sektiss back.

"LET ME RIP HIS HEAD OFF......JUST A LITTLE!!!!!!!!!" Lovebug screeched, trying to lunge out of their grasp, and beat the Tiger Sharklantean to a pulp.

"As much as I would love to see you in a big fight, I'm afraid I can't let you harm our, only Tiger Sharklantean....maybe he'll get used to you because I learned he's not an adjustable Sharklantean when it comes to Changeling's" Creature told her, as Lovebug Sektiss roared before shaking herself off the two Sharklantean's, and let out an annoyed huff.

"I'm going to be in my quarter's, don't notify me unless it's time for me to get on this ship you speak of" Lovebug Sektiss snarled, before walking out of the lab room. Saphirus opened up the previous log book that he had, that classified every Sharklantean. He had the entire Predator Clan written down, and learned much from Creature, and the other's before coming to a symbol of the Ancient Clan.

"Wow Saphy, you have an entire biography of the Predator Clan of Sharklantean's?" Lotus asked, curious to know more.

"Indeed Lotus, if this is what the Predator Clan has with only one of these many Sharklantean's....I wonder what the other Sharklantean species the other Clan's have?" He asked, as Lotus Moon let out a sigh, but also went above deck with Creature, and Saphirus, as Zecora continued working on the cure with their only specimen strapped to the dissection table she was using.

All three of them were looking off into the distance of the ship, as Lotus Moon let out a deep long sigh. "Somehow, I think your going to find out, very soon" Lotus told him, as Captain Rainbow Dash set course for the co-ordinates that Ripjaw gave her.

*****
It took a long time before the ship arrived at it's destination, of the specific ocean which was defiently Infected, but not as Infected as the bloody ocean's they had already come across. Ripjaw went on the front deck, and looked around the ocean, as Lotus Moon turned to him, her long beautiful red, and black mane flowing from the oceanic wind, as she spoke. "Ripjaw are you sure this is the place?" Lotus Moon asked, as Ripjaw looked down into the Infected water's before speaking.

"Oh yes.....this is defiently the place" He answered, as Saphirus gave him a confused look.

"Are you sure because, I had my drone scout the water's below, and couldn't find anything" Saphirus explained, as Ripjaw chuckled.

"Of course your drone won't find anything, becasue the place my buyer is at, is much deeper than you think" Ripjaw smiled, as he looked to Rainbow Dash who was at the cockpit, and smiled before speaking.

"DASH.....LOWER THE ANCHOR!!!!!!!!!" He shouted, as Rainbow Dash nodded before letting the Anchor drop down into the Infected Ocean. A loud clank was heard, as the Anchor hit something that sounded like metal, as Ripjaw smiled. "ALRIGHT CAPTAIN......HOIST 'ER UP!!!!!!!!" Ripjaw shouted, as Rainbow Dash gave the Bull Sharklantean an enthusiastic thumb's up before pulling up the anchor. As the Anchor was being dragged up, it also dragged up an Infected Sharklantean who roared at all of them giving them quite the jumpscare. Lotus Moon screamed, as she grabbed Saphirus's gloves, and bashed the Zombie Sharklantean's brain's out as it's body sank back into the water.

Lotus Moon's heart was racing from the brutal, un-expected jumpscare, as she panted before speaking. "I.....hate those thing's" She breathed, as the Anchor pulled up an unusual, futuristic, metal submarine that looked damage, but intact.

"Lotus can you lift this onto the ship?" Ripjaw asked, as Lotus Moon was still calming down.

"Give.....me.....a minute" She breathed before finally being able to relax, and having her heart rate go back to normal before speaking. "Alright, here goes nothing" She told them, as she used her magic to lift the damaged, oceanic, yet futuristic submarine onto the ship, as it finally settled into place. Ripjaw grinned, as he looked at the small submarine that was on the ship, as Saphirus had a defeated look on his face.

"Man, this submarine look's like a very difficult task" Saphirus groaned, as Lotus looked at her coltfriend before speaking.

"You can repair this, right Saphy?" Lotus asked, as Saphirus gave her a rather dumbfounded look, and spoke.

"Do you see a blueprint inside, or simple instruction goggles that I can use to understand this....yeah....this thing is of OCEANIC technology it's design is beyond me" Saphirus shrugged, as Ripjaw laughed before replying.

"I know the blueprint's of these sub's, and can teach you their nature if you so wished, but I need your help in adding a few upgrades for this thing....that is if your willing to help?" Ripjaw asked, as Saphirus smiled.

"Work on an aquatic Equestrian Submarine to see the depth's of the unknown with possible new discoveries beneath the Infected waters......sign me up" Saphirus smiled, as both of them got to work. Getting the sub back in working operation in order for it to work. The thing seemed to use some sort of pure water propulsion system that made it move, or kept it afloat. Becasue of the infection it couldn't work, but thank's to some reprogramming they managed to get it to work. The sub was working, as it was in the appearance of Jet black, and purple, while looking like a small aquatic sub.

"Ta da" Ripjaw smiled, as the sub itself was completely finished, as Lotus Moon looked at him with curiosity before she spoke.

"How many can this sub fit?" Lotus Moon asked, as Ripjaw smiled.

"It will fit you, me, Saphirus, and Creature with us being able to carry our stuff, and weapon's....I know where the city itself is at, so it should be a piece of cake for us to get to with little difficulty." Ripjaw smiled.

"Why do I have a bad feeling about this?" Lotus asked, as Creature smiled.

"We'll be fine, just get in the sub with your coltfriend, and we'll be able to navigate the sub, when we get it into the water" Creature told her, as Lotus got in next to Saphirus, while Creature got in the front, while Ripjaw was going to drive. He used his clawed hand to be scanned into the system, as the sub responded to his print. It immediately flew high into the air, like a saucer before diving deep into the Infected ocean, as it began swimming toward it's underwater destination. Underneath the purple Infected ocean the water was mostly black with many sea creatures down there. Million's of Infected Sharklantean's were in the water, as they seemed to flow through the water's with ease.

The Infected Sharklantean's looked their way a few time's, but for some reason payed them, or the sub no mind, as they continued their descent. Lotus Moon looked confused, along with Saphirus, watching the Infected Sharklantean's not having any interest in them, as they just let them be. "Um....should they be leaving all of us alone?" Lotus Moon asked, as Creature looked at the Infected Sharklantean's before speaking.

"No.....they shouldn't be, all of them should be swarming us, trying to devour the sub like a hive of bee's.....something ain't right" Creature replied. They all began going deeper into the ocean, before a strange ping came on their undersea radar that caught Ripjaw's attention.

"Their's something appearing on our radar, dead ahead....whatever it is, it's big" He answered, as Lotus Moon peered forward more to look far out into the dark purple ocean. A massive strange black, and purple lump of flesh began swimming around that seemed to be a huge combination of the Infection.

"What is it.....what is that?" She asked, as her fur stood on the back of her neck, making her cringe....seeing it's lumpy, oozy, and nasty floating form that looked ugly. "OH WHAT IS THAT!?!?!?!?!?!?" Lotus asked, feeling more disgusted after it continued floating, and bobbing it's nasty body....it looked to have almost no form to it, being more disordered than the Infected Sharklantean's that they had fought.

"Unbelievable.....it's a sea monster leviathan created FROM the Infection" Creature realized in astonishment, as Saphirus looked at it with suprise before speaking.

"It's not just a cure we need, we are going to need a nuclear warhead LOADED with the cure in order to kill this Infection off entirely" Saphirus told them. Immediately the lump fleshed shape Infection let out a void like shriek, as it charged at them with interest in spreading it's disease.

"TIME TO KICK THIS UP A NOTCH!!!!!!!!!" Ripjaw roared, as he punched the thrusters on the sub to full, and dove even deeper into the ocean's. For a disordered fleshly lump, the plague moved super fast in the water, as they had to dodge through rock, and cavern's in the ocean to stay alive. Their sub soon stumble upon the underwater city of the place that Ripjaw had mentioned for them to look for. Aftwr getting close to it, immedietly laser gun turret's came out of one of the city building's, and relentlessly fired at the Infection leviathan behind them, as the plague creature was torn apart, screeching in agony before being blown to bit's.

They found a parking spot for their sub to be in, as Ripjaw piloted the sub into a hanger. The Infected water was drained into the ocean, before all of them got out of the sub, as the other door opened. Immedietly they were introduced to a Ghost city, as a horde of Infected Sharklantean's began charging at them, as all of them readied their signature weapon's. Out of nowhere, an Albino White Anthro creature, as big as Tigerclaw let out a thundering roar, distracting all of the Infected Sharklantean's. The creature slammed into the ground hard, and spun it's body like a buzzsaw blade, and even spun forward with it's steel like jaw's, shredding them to bit's.

Another oceanic Anthro creature appeared, having an eel like neck that stretched when needed, but also held razor sharp spine's on it's arm's that acted like organic buzzsaw blades. It used it's head to mercilessly bash into both of the other creature's enemies into it's enemies, as the Infected Sharklantean's turned their attention to the two Anthro colony creature's. The Infected Sharklantean's tried to attack go for the throat of the second creature, but it's buzzsaw arm blades, shredded them into a bloody, gory mess. The creature saw more infection's coming, as it used it's tail, and savagely impaled the point in their eyes, killing many instantly.

The other albino creature also was lethal, as it's long sharp claw's shredded the Infection's like paper. Surprisingly it's claw's, and mouth's were immune to the Infection, because of it's specific clawed nail's, and it's teeth were an organic chainsaw. The Infected Sharklantean's stood no chance, as the two Anthro creatures were bathed in blood after shredding the Infected Sharklantean's into gory messes. Blood dripped from their signature weapon's, as they all approached Ripjaw. Lotus, and Saphirus were suprised, as all of the blood dripped off of them, revealing a Sharklantean Clan Symbol on both their bodies.

"Ah, good to see that my buyer has been expecting me, and sent you two.....well then, I've come here to collect my ship" Ripjaw smiled, as the two oceanic creatures nodded before continuing on. As the group were led by the two strange creatures, Lotus Moon, and Saphirus looked at Creature, wanting answers.

"Hey.....Creature did you see those symbol's on them?" Lotus Moon asked, as Creature nodded.

"Indeed, that is the mark of the Ancient Clan...of the Sharklantean's" Creature answered, as Saphirus spoke up.

"What type of Sharklantean's are they?" Saphirus asked, as Lotus Moon turned to her coltfriend, and spoke

"Are they even Sharklantean's Saphy? The way their bodies look don't appear Shark like at all" Lotus Moon told him, as Creature answered Lotus.

"Those are Sharklantean's, and also not Sharklantean's" Creature told them, as both of then gave him a confused look.

"Huh?" Lotus asked.

"Nani?" Saphirus asked, as Creature chuckled at their responses before speaking.

"They are both considered Sharklantean's in existence, but they are Ancient, predatory fish that are based off the ancestors of normal predatory creatures that may have existed before the Sharklantean race did. The white one is an Icthyosaur Sharklantean" Creature told them.

The Icthyosuar is similar to another powerful Sharklantean of the Ancient clan, but is less harder to deal with. Even with that in mind, do not underestimate it, this creatures mouth act's as an organic chainsaw with a long maw powerful enough to do the slicing. It's white eyes have the sharpest instinct of many Sharklantean's even having a blood vision. Even though it is albino white this Sharklantean may have a small part of stealth, but his speed, and power make up for his attack's to be deadly. His claw's are curled, and sharp enough to slice through almost anything.

Creature explained, as Saphirus looked at him with curiosity. "Is that why it's immune to the Infection, because of it's genetic makeup?" He asked, as Creature smiled.

"Precisely, while these specific Clan's have some immunity to the Infection, I believe that almost all of them left, because they did not want to wake up, and constantly fight of a Dark Apakolypse every day" Creature replied, as both Lotus Moon, and Saphirus commenter in unison.

"No one does" They both said, earning a laugh from Creature.

"So....what about the other one?" Saphirus asked, as Creature turned forward, before speaking.

"That would be a Pliosaur Sharklantean" He answered.

The Pliosaur is a more of an oceanic Ancient Sharklantean. It's neck can stretch, and coil like an eel's with a nasty painful bite, and also can uses it's head to bash it's enemies, if need be....if that's not enough it's tail point is sharp, and long even when it appears to be short. As a last resort it's tail will sometimes stay small, and uses the nimble of it's leg's using hyper fast super speed, and it's claw's to almost instantly shred it's prey, but constantly running at it back, and forth. This is a deadly Sharklantean one should not trifle with.

Both Lotus Moon, and Saphirus were more intrigued about this information, as it helped them learn more about these species, and the Clan's culture. After that education, they all came to a rather huge temple that was filled with what looked like a nice throne of beautiful riches that seemed to be draped with beautiful oceanic tapestry, and a rather royal rug. In the golden throne was a male Sharklantean who looked at all of them with a pleasured grin, as he was a very huge, and massive Sharklantean.

"WHOA!!!!!!" Lotus Moon said in suprise, as she saw how towering the Sharklantean on the throne was, as Saphirus spoke.

"He look's like......A MEGALODON" Saphirus said in awe.

Chapter 13: Search of the Ancient Clan Part 2 (The Meg) [Clop, and Gore]

The Sharklantean that sat on the throne was massive, standing at a towering height of over 25 feet. He looked big, powerful, and very massive. After Saphirus had spoken saying that the Sharklantean on the throne looked like a Megalodon, Creature only turned to him, and smiled. "That's becasue he is a Megalodon Saphirus, this is one of the biggest Sharklantean's that we have in existence according to the Ancient Clan, this is a Megalodon Sharklantean" Creature explained, as Ripjaw smiled, before speaking.

"His name is Mega, and he usually likes to go by that name" Ripjaw told him, as Mega smiled.

"Indeed, how about I educate these two guest's about how amazing my species is" Mega smiled, loving every minute of the next word's coming from his maw.

The Megalodon Sharklantean is one of the most massive Sharklantean's that swim's in Equestrian water's. After many year's of living in waters, this unique species somehow had found a way to thrive in a new generation. Mine's don't stop it, bullet's, and spears only make it meaner, and it is a tough species to bring down. It claw's are not very sharp, but they don't need to be when it has shear size, and power to kill it's enemies. It's toes are to watch out for, because despite being massive, it's fighting style of kick's....are always the deadliest.

After Mega explained his species, he looked at Ripjaw with a big grin came across his face. "Ripjaw my best little friend, and customer......I've been holding on to your order for all this time. I had to be beat back some customer's just to keep their grubby, panicky, greedy, clawed hand's off it" Mega smiled, as Ripjaw looked over at the scratch mark from said customer's on the Pliosaur before speaking.

"Judging by that scratch on one of your henchmen that I have never noticed, I can see that" Ripjaw replied, earning a laugh from Mega who smiled.

"Such savages, and I must say other than the Sharklantean's, I believe I've never encountered such being's before in my life.....could it be that these two are Equestrian Unicorn's?" Mega asked, as both Lotus Moon, and Saphirus stopped staring at him, and introduced themselves.

"Such interesting names for ponies from the Mainland, tell me what's a bunch of grasshopper's like you doing so far out in these deep water's, eh?" Mega asked with a smile, as Creature was the first to speak up.

"They've come to help us create a cure for the Tryphoceaus virus, and the male one is working with a very talented Zebra who may make a breakthrough for the cure in a few day's" Creature explained, as Mega let out a sigh of relief, and a huge laugh.

"Well it's about time, I was getting bored of this place. I'm guessing that not only you have a plan, but I think I can help you to make an even bigger breakthrough" Mega smiled, as he snapped his clawed finger's causing his two bodyguard's to go behind a curtain, and roll out one of the massive glob's of fleshly leviathan's that was made out of the virus. "We managed to capture one of the specimen's that we had to seal off an area, but I call him a Blood Leviathan....scary isn't he. It's a big piece of the Infection that we grabbed, tell me Ripjaw, why do you need the ship that I bartered for you?" Mega asked, as Creature spoke.

"Our boat has limit's, while our ship has stored so much onboard, I'm afraid it can't get us through the bizarre, and destructive magical energy of Poseidon's Breath...correct?" Creature asked, as Mega laughed again before speaking.

"You are correct, my brother of another Clan, the ship I have will not only have massive storage, but it should be enough for all of you to carry your precious cargo to Poseidon's Breath safely if you survive the gauntlets there....but I'm afraid there are two catches" Mega spoke, as Lotus Moon groaned, and facepalmed with a deep sigh.

"Here we go" Lotus sighed, as Mega spoke.

"If I am to give you all this ship, me, and my bodyguard's will be traveling with you on your long journey" Mega addressed, as Ripjaw shrugged.

"It doesn't need to be a request, we need to bring one of each species anyway for each Clan to have a future" Ripjaw shrugged, as Mega had a huge toothy grin before speaking.

"Such Good new's.....but there's also the bad one" Mega replied, his tone going from sweet, to a frustrated sigh.

"What's the bad new's?" Saphirus asked, as Mega spoke.

"I'm not the one in possession of the Map to Poseidon's Breath, but I do believe there is someone we can talk to who is willing to help....he lives in an Ancient Temple, a few nautical miles from here, they say he's the only Sharklantean who has taught, and mastered the art of Ninjitsu in his own oceanic way, he might know where it is" Mega explained, as Lotus Moon had a look of hope on her face.

"Then what the hell are we waiting for, let's get going" She said impatiently, as Mega laughed, while standing up from his throne.

"I'm starting to like these two, they sound like a lewd romantic married couple" He winked, causing both Saphirus, and Lotus to sport a deep crimson blush on their faces before he took them to the huge ship he had for them.

"So this is the ship that we have to use?" Saphirus asked, staring at the unique model.

"Ugh this.....I was expecting something a bit more futuristic" Lotus scoffed, as Creature looked at her before speaking.

"If we tried to go through Poseidon's breath without this type of ship, our ship, and us would explode" Creature explained, as Lotus Moon looked at the ship with renewed vigor.

"This ship is good" She replied, as all of them got on bored, before triggering it's launch sequence.

*****
Rainbow Dash was waiting patiently with Echo, as all of them were doing their best to keep themselves occupied. Echo, and Lovebug seemed to be keeping themselves trained, while Rainbow Dash used the binocular's wrapped around her neck to look out into the open ocean. She had been looking out the thing for hour's, and Echo, and Lovebug had been training, while also dealing with certain straggler Infected Sharklantean's that would try to come onboard every so often, only to get taken down by both girl's, or even Rainbow Dash herself sometimes. "Anything yet?" Lovebug shouted, as Rainbow Dash took the binocular's off her eyes before speaking.

"Not yet" She replied, as both Echo, and Lovebug were training each other, while also being a bit competitive before she stopped, and spoke.

"I really don't get it, why are these Infected Sharklantean's only coming up on our ship one at a time when the cure hasn't even been developed yet.....something about that, make's me on edge" Lovebug groaned, as Echo took a breather, and spoke her reply.

"Well, at least your able to have some fun with the few other Wonderbolt's onboard with those other scientist's, but I almost forget they came with us, what has the rest of the crew been doing?" Echo asked, as Lovebug took a breather, and stopped, wiping the sweat from her forehead.

"Well, on the other times off, I've done some fucking with the stud's, and their big dick's...but other than that, they've mostly been staying below deck, keeping an eye out for the ship's system's, making new arrangement's, and keeping an eye on our other Sharklantean guest's, while we've been busy, but that's the first of it" Lovebug answered, as Echo smiled, while adjusting her royal guard armor.

"That make's a lot more sense, but where the heck is Ripjaw with his new ship?" Echo asked. She got the answer to her question, when a huge futuristic of metal, that almost seemed to be super shaped, and cave like appeared out of the ocean. The metal door opened, as a loud boom was heard before the biggest, wooden pirate ship ever seen, with future technology around it burst out of the huge cave like pod with a quick speed boost before coming to a complete stop.

"Look's like they got it" Rainbow Dash replied, as a huge mechanical plank was extended out to them, as they saw their friend's in position.

"ALL ABOOOAAARRDDD!!!!!!!" Ripjaw shouted, as Lovebug Sektiss, and Echo managed to start transferring the stuff they had on the metal ship, to the pirate one. Lotus Moon brought aboard the dress she bought along with belongings they packed on the trip. Lovebug, and Echo would adjust to the new quarter's, while Zecora, Saphirus, and the scientist, brought the twitching Infected Sharklantean onboard who was still tied securely to the dissection table. They also were able to carefully move over the lab equipment, while also bringing aboard their scientific tubes they had used with their progress of the cure. Rainbow Dash also got onboard, and was able to bring all of the other Sharklantean's with them, and the Magic Seal emergency stash that Lovebug fetched below.

A few of the scientist's were finally onboard, as the other Wonderbolt's had packed their stuff ready to continue, as Creature smiled. "Alright, each one of you ponies get onboard, and our journey will continue" Creature smiled, as the Wonderbolt's laughed ready to get onboard. That's when disaster struck....immediately, thousand's of Infected Sharklantean's were coming onboard, as they began to charge, and devour the inside, and outside of the ship. Three of the Pegasi Wonderbolt's were Infected, as the other Wonderbolt's began pulling out pistol's, as they bravely fended off the Infected horde, but already there were way too many closing in.

"COME ON, GET ONBOARD!!!!!!!" Rainbow Dash screamed, as the Wonderbolt's fought off the Infection's, almost all of them being Infected except with only two left.

"CAPTAIN......SINK THE SHIP!!!!!!" The Wonderbolt roared, as his partner was Infected, and he was being zombied, surrounded by Infected Sharklantean's, and ponies.

"NO.....I CAN'T!!!!!!!!" Rainbow Dash shouted, as she watched the Infected Sharklantean's began devouring the Wonderbolt's flesh, as blood sprayed from his body, and he looked at her with pleading eyes, the Infection taking over half of his body, giving him new Infected Pegasi leg's, as he looked at her, and spoke his final word's.

"DO IT CAPTAIN......SINK......THE......SHIP!!!!!!!!" The Wonderbolt screamed, as Rainbow Dash quickly retracted the plank, and had her friend's man the cannon's before firing each cannon. The blast knocked the pirate ship away from the steel Equestrian ship, as the futuristic cannonball's breached the metal side's, as a huge explosion erupted from the area. The ship sank to the bottom with the Infected inhabitant's, and Wonderbolt's dying on the sinking ship. Rainbow Dash looked down at herself with tear's in her eyes, as Lovebug Sektiss, and Lotus Moon gave her a calm hug to make her feel better.

Saphirus, and Creature looked at into the distance seeing the metal ship fully sink, as Ripjaw piloted the vessel to get to their destination along the current.

"Everytime I think that we can go back, and say "Fuck this", with times I have wanted to.....I'm constantly reminded that there is no going back without dealing with this stupid virus" Saphirus growled angrily, as Creature put his clawed hand on his shoulder before speaking.

"I am afraid my friend that our journey will get only more difficult as we move on, and right now we cannot let their sacrifices be.....for nothing" Creature replied, as they had the ship continue forward.

*****
Night time had come, and everyone had gotten set up inside the massive wooden pirate ship. They had traveled for quite sometime, and had gotten use to the new ship, rather quickly. The demise of the other Wonderbolt's were still on everyone's mind's, and few tried to continue with what they had planned. Rainbow Dash took this the hardest, as she sat in her Captain's quarter's, reminded of the good Wonderbolt's who had just perished that she had served with for quite sometime. She felt very empty, and hollow...sitting in the same position that she did nearly all day, contemplating her thought's.

For some reason....she couldn't really explain it, but out of nowhere she felt a strange warmth to her that filled her emptiness.
She looked around the quarters, and even behind her to see if anyone was around her, but there was no one there. The warmth felt comforting, and added small bit of relaxation, as she went to the bed, slowly curling up, and falling asleep....unknowing to her that her body was glowing with Rainbow swirl's in an Ancient oceanic hieroglyphics that would have caught other's eyes had they entered.

*****
Saphirus was glad that the scientist's, Zecora, and himself were glad to have been able to set everything up again, and had already gone back to work on the cure for the Tryphoceaus virus before nighttime had come. He felt successful, thank's to the help of Mega capturing that one Creature made of flesh, Zecora was able to make out a third of how the virus worked, and was able to get the first ingredient for the cure. She still needed more time to experiment with the virus, to get the full source of making the cure, and it kept her up throughout most of the night. Saphirus had been unable to clear his mind of the event's that occured earlier.

"Saphy?" Lotus's voice sang which caused him to turn his head, as his eyes almost popped out of his socket's, as he stared at his marefriend. Lotus Moon was wearing the dress that she had bought from that sea pony, thank's to Creature's help. Saphirus marveled her beauty, as she was in front of him, the gorgeous dress showing some of her cleavage, while allowing him to drink up every inch of her curves that the dress hugged beautifully.

"L-Lotus.....w-wow" Saphirus breathed, as this earned a cute giggle from the moon colored mare, as she sauntered herself over to him, locking her hand with his, while she let him place a hand on her hip.

"Am I beautiful Saphy?" Lotus asked, as Saphirus shook himself out of his daze, blushing rather profusely.

"You look gorgeous, Lotus" He told her, as Lotus blushed softly before pressing her body toward his, as she spoke.

"Do you remember our song, the song that we danced to?" Lotus asked, as Saphirus nodded before speaking.

"How could I forget, it was one of the best night's of my life" Saphirus replied, as she held onto him, as she stood on her tip toes, and whispered in his ear.

"Dance with me my love" Lotus Moon whispered, as both of their bodies began to sway to the music in their head's. The poop deck was completely quite, and almost abandoned, as the couple danced romantically with one another, both of them feeling amazingly warm in each other's embrace. Lotus leaned her head, softly on Saphirus's chest, as they continued their amazing dancing. They finally came to a stop, as Lotus Moon looked up at the stallion she was very much in love with. She got closer, as her lip's met his, both of them kissing passionately under the Moonlight. Both of them seperated, before having another kiss, that was more lustful than the last one.

Both of them panted from the kiss, as they kissed lustfully again, before separating with many pant's. "Let's take this to our quarters" Lotus winked, as Saphirus nodded his head in response. They journeyed to their quarters, as they closed, and locked the door. They both kissed lustfully again, as they began taking off their clothes. Lotus hastily took off his shirt, feeling his bare chest, while he unzipped the dress she had, and started to bring it down. Both of them kissed again after separating earlier, and seperated from this kiss again. Lotus Moon took off her entire dress, as she slipped it off, revealing her bra, and panties.

Saphirus had unbuckled his pant's, and had slipped them down, revealing a pair of boxer short's. Lotus was rather impatient, as she dove her hand into his boxer's, grabbing his hardening shaft, and began stroking it, while locking lip's with him again. Saphirus groaned, as he dove a finger in her panties, and began playing with her clitoris. Lotus Moon moaned in response, as she was getting wet, while a small bit of pre, was pumped from Saphirus's shaft. Both of them seperated from their lustful kiss, as they were wanting to continue. Lotus unclipped her bra, letting her beautiful breast's bounce free of their confinement, as she slid her panties off exposing her dripping flower.

Saphirus had also taken off his boxer's, letting his rod spring forth. Saphirus stared at her beautiful breast's, as he fondled them with his hand's, while giving one of her dark blue nipples a long lick. Lotus threw her head back, and moaned softly, as she looked at him with pure lust in her eyes. "Saphy, don't tease me....I want you to do me" Lotus whined, as Saphirus took that as an invitation. He pushed Lotus onto the bed, and quickly towered over her, as Lotus felt her breathing getting faster. He dove into her fold's, as his tongue began licking her pussy, and playing with her clit. "OOOOHHHH SAPHY.....RIGHT THERE...."

Lotus Moon moaned loudly, as Saphirus loved hearing his mare sing. He continued to lick her clit, as Lotus continued moaning, thrusting herself up to meet with his tongue. Saphirus plunged his tongue deep into her pussy, along with two finger's stretching her out, as Lotus Moon moaned loudly. "OOOHHH SAAAPPHHHYY......THAT'S THE SPOT, DON'T STOP.....PLEASE DON'T STOP!!!!!!" She whined, as Saphirus continued his ministration's. Lotus was so close, she could feel her pussy clenching down on his finger's, and tongue, as she was getting close to the edge rather quickly. "SAPHY......I'M GONNA CUM.....AAAAAHHHHHNNNNN!!!!!!!!"

Lotus screamed, as she had her climax. She grabbed onto the sheet's, as her fem cum squirted out of her pussy, while Saphirus happily drank her amazing love nectar. Lotus panted coming down from her high, as Saphirus felt an unusual side to him come out, relishing of being the dominant one for tonight. "Well, well my Moon pet it seem's I adore hearing you sing, I think you deserve a treat" Saphirus growled, as Lotus felt a new excitement course through her body, her pussy now getting even wetter than she did before. "Open your mouth my pet, and suck me off" Saphirus ordered, as Lotus had loved hearing his dirty talk.

She crawled toward him on her hand's, and knees, and took his entire shaft into her mouth, as she moaned deeply. "Now then, my little Moony, I want to make sure your also warm for me, as well. Make sure you finger yourself, for you master won't you?" Saphirus asked, as Lotus continued bobbing herself up, and down on his shaft, while she reached behind, and dove three of her finger's into her pussy with a lewd squelch. Lotus Moon was muffedly moaning, enjoying every second of this, as she continued sucking him off, while fingering herself. She bobbed her head faster, as Saphirus groaned, and climaxed.

Warm, stallion seed was pumped down Lotus's mouth, as Saphirus was coming down from his high. Lotus was almost close to another orgasm from fingering herself, but Saphirus quickly denied her release, as he smiled. "Not yet my beautiful Moon it's time we have our main event" He smiled, as he pushed Lotus to the bed. She shamelessly spread her leg's revealing how wet she was, as he aligned himself up with her entrance. He penetrated the mare, as Lotus Moon moaned loudly, her leg's wrapping around his waist, and letting her entire body press against his.

"OOOOHHH SAPHY" Lotus moaned, as Saphirus growled, before fucking the mare, both of their moan's, and groan's continuing to echo throughout the room. Saphirus could feel the warmth of Lotus's naked body, and she could feel the warmth of his naked body, as well. Both of them were in bliss, as Saphrus continued thrusting in, and out of her pussy, and both of them were near the edge. "AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AAAAAHHHHH SAPPPHY, I'M SO CLOSE!!!!!!!!!" Lotus screamed, as Saphirus let out a loud groan before replying.

"I'M CLOSE TOO LOTUS....You want it, you want me to fill your pussy with my cum?" He growled, as she screamed in response.

"YES.....FILL ME UP WITH YOUR LOVE......AAAAAHHHHHNNNNN!!!!!!!!" Lotus screamed, as both of them climaxed. Saphrius's warm cum was shot deep into her pussy, while she climaxed after, letting her nectar mix with his seed, both of them covered in their sex fluid's. He was about to pull out, but Lotus stopped him, and kept him in place. "No....let's stay together like this" She cooed softly, as Saphirus smiled, and kissed her passionately.

"I love you Lotus" He smiled, as Lotus gave him a nice smile before speaking.

"I love you too Saphy" Lotus replied softly. Saphirus smiled, as both of them snuggled together, and fell asleep.

*****
Ripjaw was able to oversee many of the plan's that he had for their journey. He had to explain a lot of what they had so far to each of the Sharklantean species. With each Sharklantean that they had it was only a matter of time before they came across the other Sharklantean's that they were searching for. After learning the location of his new quarter's he had decided to go their for the night, ready to get some rest. After opening the door, and closing behind him, he was curious, as to why the light's in his quarter's were off. He felt a warmth drape his body, as a female figure kissed him passionetly on the lip's.

He managed to turn a small light in the room on, revealing a very stunning suprise. "I'm afraid your princess is in another castle, but you can have me as a reward instead" Echo cooed softly, as she showed off her hot, moonlight bikini that hugged her body beautifully. Ripjaw easily felt himself getting hard, as his massive erect shaft was exposed to the hot mare. Echo saw his raging hard on, and licked her lip's before taking off her lingerie, exposing herself to him. Ripjaw watched her breast's bounce slightly, as she sauntered up to him with every plan of sexual lust. "Come on handsome....where's that wild side of your's?"

Echo asked, as Ripjaw's eyes turned to a blank pink again giving into instinct.
He immiedietly pinned the naked bat pony mare to the bed, earning a hot moan from her lip's. He began groping her huge breast's, slighting pinching her nipple's earning more moan's from the bat pony, her pussy leaking her nectar. Ripjaw couldn't hold back much longer, as he flipped her onto her stomach, ramming his shaft deep into her pussy. "OOOOHHHH YEEEEAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!" Echo moaned, her inner wall's clamping down on his rod. Ripjaw got only more dominant, as he pressed his entire body against her's, squeezing her beautiful breast's, and playing with him "F-Fuck....OOOOHH YEEEAAHH!!!!!"

Echo moaned, getting more into this, as pleasure began to course through her body. Ripjaw began fucking her senseless, thrusting in, and out of her wet pussy, as the bat pony was moaning in complete bliss. "AAAAHHH, AAAAAAHHH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AAAAAAHHHH, OH YEAH THAT FEEL'S SO GOOOD, UH, UH, UH, UH, UH, UH, UH, MMMMMM DON'T STOP, UH, UH, UH, UH, UUUUUHHH......I'M SO CLOSE.....AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, CUM IN ME YOU BEAST......AAAAAAHHHHNNNNN!!!!!!!!" Echo screamed, as she had a very powerful climax, while Ripjaw rammed all the way inside her womb, climaxing with her.

Huge Sharklantean seed, erupted within her belly, as her fem cum squirted out of her pussy, staining the sheet's below. Echo had ridden out her orgasm, being in euphoric bliss, as Ripjaw snuggled her like a prized possession, but lovingly. "Fuck....that was amazing" Echo sighed happily before both of them were fatigued, and fell asleep under the moonlight.

Chapter 14: Search of the Ancient Clan Part 3: (The Ninja Temple)

After getting the rest, and even a few enjoying the passionate lovemaking on the ship, it helped clear the mind's of everyone on the giant wooden pirate ship with piece's of futuristic oceanic technology running through it. Except for a certain Pegasaus who also happened to be a little called into question, as Lovebug Setkiss even though at times didn't get along with the Captain, was also trying to set her straight. "Captain......HAVE YOU LOST YOUR GODDAM MIND!?!?!?!?!?!?!?" Lovebug screeched, as a determined, almost gleefully happy Rainbow Dash was steering the massive pirate ship through an eerie fog with very rough water's.

"TRUST ME LOVEBUG, I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING, I CAN FEEL THE RADIATING WARMTH OF LOVE THAT'S FROM THE TEMPLE, HELL...I EVEN DREAMED ABOUT IT'S LOCATION, I KNOW WHERE TO FIND IT, AND HOW TO GET THERE!!!!!!!!" Rainbow Dash screamed back, as the roaring waves of the ocean began thrashing against the hull of the ship, as she continued turning the ship to keep up with the harsh rapid's.

"YOUR FUCKING INSANE DASHIE, YOUR SAYING THAT YOU KNOW WHERE THIS IS......BECAUSE OF A DREAM, DID YOU SEE TWILIGHT, OR LUNA MABYE THAT TOLD YOU THIS!?!?!?!?!?!?" Lovebug asked, as Rainbow Dash shook her head.

"NO, THE OCEANIC COLONIES ARE SHIELDED TO EQUESTRIAN DREAMING, TRUST ME LOVEBUG, BESIDES IF YOUR CALLING ME INSANE, THAT'S INTERESTING COME FROM YOU, DO YOU EVEN DRAW LINE'S WHEN IT COMES TO WHAT YOU DO WITH YOUR CHANGELING'S IN YOUR HIVE!?!?!?!?!?" Rainbow Dash asked, as Lovebug Sektiss felt a familiar growl in her voice before she spoke.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP, YOU LITTLE BITCH!!!!!!!" Lovebug Sektiss hissed, as Rainbow Dash gave her a cocky smile.

"Gladly....NOW GO SIT DOWN, AND KEEP EVERYTHING ONBOARD INTACT, IT WOULD HELP IF YOU STOPPED SLOUCHING!!!!!!!!" Rainbow Dash shouted, as she continued steering the ship. Lovebug Sektiss only gave a big huff, and stormed off the bridge to help the other's. Lotus Moon, Saphirus, and Creature were working on securing some of the rigging so that some of the huge sail's weren't ripping in the aggressive weather. Creature had heard their shouting conversation, as he looked at Lotus Moon with curiosity.

"I'm starting to think your friend has some problem's, but I'm also curious if she'll ever get along with the Captain" Creature shouted, as Lotus Moon spoke her reply, while continuing to help them both out

"Lovebug is a......unique Changeling, but she's really not that bad once you get to know her, that I can assure you. If she wasn't a friend I didn't trust then she wouldn't be on this ship, let alone someone I would mention" Lotus Moon replied, as Creatrue shrugged, while tending to the current task at hand.

"Seem's simple enough, although something is telling me getting to understand her, might be rather tricky, so for now I'll trust your word's." Creature replied, as all of them kept the rigging in place, as the huge pirate ship passed through the strange pink fog with the rough sea. Rainbow Dash's body was once again glowing with those Ancient symbol's, as she felt that warm feeling inside her getting hotter.

"I think we're getting close....WE'RE ALMOST THERE!!!!!!!!" She shouted delightfully, as they came across the clearing for where the temple itself lied. The place around them had a very bright blue sky, with lighting bolt's crashing throughout the specific area they were in, except the pink fog that circled around some cliffy island's. One of these cliff island's had a huge Ancient temple that had the Ancient Clan's symbol, marked on many different banner's near the area. "WE MADE IT!!!!!!!!!" Rainbow Dash shouted happily, as she looked at the temple with a smile on her face. All of them looked at the rather nice area, as Ripjaw noticed the Rainbow marking's on Dash's body.

"Um.....Rainbow Dash, why do you have Ancient Sharklantean hyroglyphic's, eliminating from your body?" Ripjaw asked, as Rainbow Dash looked down at her body, realizing what exactly was happening to herself.

"I don't know, but for some reason maybe it's having something to do with what I'm feeling, it feel's like someone, or something is summoning me using romantic passion to call me here.......wait, WHY DID I JUST SOUND SO SAPPY!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?" Rainbow Dash screamed in suprise, as Mega had gotten onto the poop deck, causing Saphirus to look at him with curiosity, wanting to ask a question. Saphirus was able to sketch the other three Sharklantean's that came aboard earlier, including Mega. The Sharklantean journal he was sketching, and writing notes for would be Equstrian Mainland knowledge if they ever got home. Judging from how this main voyage was already going, it looked like he was about to add a few more to the list.

"Hey Mega, do you really think this....Ancient helper that know's who has the map to Poseidon's breath; Is this the place where that specific Sharklantean is at?" Saphirus asked, as Mega looked at the Ancient temple before speaking.

"Oh trust me, their is no other temple on any Island that matches this description....trust me, we're here" Mega replied, as all of them pulled up to the massive dock below the specific cliff island that was safely built into the island with perfect stability. They were all thankful that it had a dock for their pirate ship, as they tied the ship down, and arrived at the dock's. Creature, Lotus, Saphirus, and Rainbow Dash had decided to journey to the temple, giving Lovebug a pleased opportunity of staying with the ship.

All of them were greeted by two new Sharklantean's species, or if they could be called them that. Both of these looked like Anthro Prehistoric fish that almost suprised them of the type of species they were both of them standing at the same height as Mega. "Um......Creature, are these Sharklantean's the species that I think they are?" Saphirus asked, feeling rather worried seeing the two almost iconic Ancient Creatures that stood out more than other's.

"Oh yes indeed Saphirus, the one on the right is the Mosasaurus Sharklantean, a very powerful one of the Ancient Clan" Creature answered.

The Mososaurus Sharklantean is another one of the Ancient Clan that is very deadly. It's jaw's are specifically designed with a second mouth, that razorly, cut's through any type of flesh, and bone. On the outside, this creature is a walking dragon tank. It may look small, but this creature is very huge. It's scales are the most hardest of many Sharklantean's for they are almost an Ancient version of Dragon scales specifically designed for heat. This type of Sharklantean can handle the deepest of depth's within the sea, and can even nest in underwater volcanoes.

"Wow....their description is almost not at as I thought it would be, I'd thought it would be more like the one from Jurrasic World: Fallen Kingdom" Lotus Moon shrugged, as Creature smiled, before speaking.

"Sometimes when it comes to nature thing's are not what you expect, speaking of which the other Sharklantean is known as "Big Momma", but the real full name of it is, the Dunkleotus Sharklantean." Creature explained.

The Dunkleotus Sharklantean's has the most bite force of any of the Sharklantean's particularly speaking. The fin's on it's body are not used as weapon's, but make it able to twist, and swim with it's gigantic body in way's that no other Sharklantean can. It's primal strength, and sharp claw's make this fish hard enough to take down, and even has been know to competitively battle, or even attempt to eat Megalodon Sharklantean's before the Clan's were assigned.....earning it's nickname "Big Momma" despite all of them being male.

Creature explained, as Saphirus just looked at the Sharklantean with newfound oddity before speaking his reply. "That's very strange when you think about, and I'm guessing that they have been expecting our arrival?" Saphirus asked, as the Dunkleotus Sharklantean spoke, in a strange, ghostly voice.

"It is the master who saw your arrival coming, well.....mostly the arrival of the beautiful Rainbow Pegasaus who may be his mate if she accept's" The Dunkleotus spoke, as Rainbow Dash looked at the Sharklantean with suprise, taking a glance at Creature, and Ripjaw before speaking.

"I'll have to take a good look at him first before I can decide that, but we are also here for the map to Poseidon's breath for our long journey" Rainbow Dash told them, as they spoke in an eerie voice.

"If you wish for more detail's on that, then you must journey to the temple, and meet the master himself." The two Sharklantean's said in unison. All of them nodded, as they followed the Sharklantean's up a mountain of step's. It took a long time for all of them to get the summit, as many of them stop panted, and huffed from how many steps there were, along the way.

"Have.....any.....of......you......*pant* EVER HEARD......OF AN ELEVATOR!?!?!?!?!?!?" Lotus Moon shouted from the constant climbing of the stairs, as the Mososaurus Sharklantean turned to her, and spoke in an eerie voice.

"The stairs are to test all of your peak, physical condition's....they will help you if you trained on these steps for years to come" The Sharklantean spoke, as Lotus Moon let out a tired groan before continuing the journey up the mountain with everyone else, trying not to ignore the throbbing exhaustion in her limbs. All of them managed to finally reach the temple at the top, as all of them (except Creature) rested, and took a breather, while the Dunkleotus, and Mososaurus Sharklantean's journeyed inside. They managed to catch their breath's before following the two new Sharklantean's inside to get down to business.

"Master.....we have guest's" The Sharklantean spoke, as a huge red carpet with a throne revealed the Ninja Sharklantean. He looked rather small, and nimble with a long tail, as Ancient Sharklantean glowing blue symbol's covered his body. A blue mystical energy surrounding his body, as he stared at all of them. His skin was a mixture of indigo blue, and cyan, that his symbols also glowed with, as he held a bamboo staff, was wearing a metallic, pointy bamboo hat, and even was chewing on a long piece of wheat grass like it was a stick of gum.

".....WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH THIS GUY!?!?!?!?!?" Saphirus asked, as the Ninja Sharklantean spit the wheat grass out of his mouth speaking in a normal tone, as he held his claw a few meter's in front of his face.

"Do you wish to come here for business Mainlander.....or do you wish for death, and the demise of your soul?" The Sharklantean asked, his claw lit up with a bright blue soul fire that fueled his power from the Ancient marking's on his body.

"I like him already" Rainbow Dash smiled, as she swayed forward from the group, making herself presentable to the Sharklantean. He set his staff down, and slipped of his metallic bamboo hat onto the head rest of his throne before approaching the Rainbow Pegasaus.

"So you must be the one who has a nimble beautiful speed, that has a tad bit of oceanic power to it, and what might be your name?" The Sharklantean asked, as Rainbow Dash looked at him with a prideful smirk before speaking.

"Heh, I'm Rainbow Dash....the fastest of the Pegasaus, and member of the Wonderbolts....I am 20% cooler....but I'm also currently the Captain of the vessel that's trying to cure the plague that infect's the Oceanic Colonies" Rainbow Dash said boastfully, as he spoke with a soft tone.

"If you really were the best, you must have pushed yourself rather hard to be the fast Pegasuaus you claim to be. You have a bit further to go, to tame your Rainbow speed.....maybe that's why you have manicures done on your feet, hand's....and even have your wing manicure's to ease the sore, and tension's in your back for using those wing's at such racing speed's" He explained, as Rainbow Dash blushed full crimson, feeling a deep bit of embarrassment, and tried to utter her next word's.

"H-H-How did you know about that I try to hide.....er....I mean I've never had those before in my life.....eheheheheh" She chuckles awkwardly, while also sweating nervously, as the Ninja Sharklantean smiled.

"A well trained eye like mine, is able to notice many things about the body of anyone he senses, and summon's, but do not try to hide it.....having all of that at a spa mean's you work yourself very hard, and have a form of relaxation. This only makes you more of the top flyer that you brag to be from time to time" The ninja Sharklantean sang softly, as Rainbow Dash still felt the warmth of her flushed cheek's, speaking in a rather timid voice.

"A-And w-who are you?" She asked with a tiny squeak in her voice, as the Sharklantean spoke in a serious, darkening tone.

"I am Nikaku.....The Ninja Sharklantean, and I'm sure your friend is curious of why I am different from the other's?" Nikaku asked, motioning to Saphirus.

"That would be nice to know, before we get down to business" Saphirus shrugged, as the Nikaku spoke again.

"Then I'll tell you why I am different" Nikaku replied, beginning his explanation.

The Ninja Sharklantean is one of the most greatest mysteries of the Sharklantean species....none remember if he is a Bull Sharklantean, A Great White, A Porbeagle, or a White Tip Reef. All everyone knows that he was a Sharklantean who found out that he was given a soul-fire power that was somehow chosen to him when he was born. He used this power, not only manifest it to do major damage, but he also weaponized it, giving him incredible speed, and creating his own form of Ninjitsu. Nikaku eventually had mastered his own fighting style, and even knows secret's of the sea that the Goddesses kept, he even knows his true identity of what Sharklantean he was, but keep's it to himself.

"Oh really, well then if your really convincing with not telling me your backstory....how about you tell me about how you run this temple?" Saphirus asked, as Nikaku gave him a confident smirk before smiling.

"Ah this temple, I came across an old cranky samurai Anthro rabbit who fought in the way's of bushido, and when fleeing the Infection of the Plague outside this safeguarded place, he, and I had to duel for who guard over the power of to the device keeping the Infection away from these secret water's. For an old rabbit he was powerful, as we battled honorably, and he was a powerful assassin, but in the end I was the victor, I would have lost an eye.....he lost his head. I've been here for a rather long time, gathering up food for me, and my bodyguard's, and stayed here until you all showed up."

Nikaku explained, as Saphirus looked at him curiosity. "Are you serious?" Saphirus asked, as Nikaku shrugged.

"Maybe, of course I could be lying, I could tell you that I'm a Changeling that took this form, from the original Nikaku, when he was escaping. I could tell you I battled a Nightmare Dream Demon, and got stuck here after victory that is short lived because he spread the Infection already. I could tell you I was a friend to a clone of the Great White Sharklantean, and his clone buddies. I could even tell you that I'm an old Shark who just came out of nowhere, and ended up in this story because I was bored" Nikaku told him, as Lotus Moon spoke up.

"Ok now that's just scary" Lotus Moon, shivered, as Saphirus studied Nikaku's facial expression's, before letting out a frustrated growl of defeat.

"Damm....your too good" Saphirus cursed, as Nikaku smirked, turning to Creature to speak.

"The last hope of the Sharklantean race....I have waited for you to come, and take us out of this hellhole. Besides, I heard you need the map to Poseidon's Breath correct?" Nikaku asked, as Creature stepped forward, and spoke.

"Yes, I'm guessing that you know where the map is, and can hand it over to us?" Creature asked, as Nikaku shook his head, and replied.

"Know where it is.....yes.....hand it over to you? I'm afraid I don't have it, but the Ancient One does....thankfully you won't have to look far" Nikaku smiled, as Creature looked at him with a curiosity.

"Does that....mean....." He asked, as Nikaku smiled before speaking.

"Indeed, it's time we went down a depth that is so deep.....we may never come back from it....a perilous journey, but worth the risk" He grinned, as he grabbed his metallic bamboo hat, and staff ready to go on the journey with them.

Chapter 15: Search for the Ancient Clan Part 4 (We never should have gone deeper)

Nikaku managed to guide almost all of them to the place he had requested which was a part of the cliff island's that were surprising. After they journeyed to another huge cliff Island behind the temple, it led to a huge drop to what looked like a massive blue tube that was filled with water that had nothing, but pitch black darkness beneath them. Instead of hearing a loud roaring sound, all they could hear was an empty, vastness of complete silence. "This is where we will find the Ancient one.....Shisha no Akuma" Nikaku chanted, as Lotus Moon turned to Nikaku with curiosity.

"What does that mean?" Lotus Moon asked, as Nikaku smiled at her before speaking.

"It's Japanese for the name of what were looking at, it's called "The Devil of the Dead Deep" an ocean tube that is pitch black on the surface, and goes 8,000 meters down before teleporting us to the temple where the Ancient one lies" Nikaku explained, as Rainbow Dash looked at him with concern.

"How are Lotus Moon, and Saphirus are going to get down there with you, and Creature?" She asked, as Nikaku turned to her with a smile.

"That's part of the test.....it's said that the depth is not that deep, as it actually is, and air is very breathable. If you trust in instinct, and word you'll be able to survive the tube, and get onto the other side with ease. Don't, and you'll either drown, get crushed, or even get ripped apart by the Ghost Sharklantean's down there" Nikaku explained, as Saphirus, and Lotus Moon looked at him with concern again.

"Can we just stay here?" They both asked in unison, as Nikaku shook his head.

"No....the Ancient one can only depart his information before passing away.....I'm afraid that if you want any hope of writing this species down....this will be the only chance" Nikaku told them, as Saphirus spoke.

"Now I'm really starting to think going along on this journey was a bad idea." Saphirus groaned. Rainbow Dash decided to stay behind, being the Pegasaus she was, and wished them all a good journey. All of them jumped down into the ocean, as they swam down into the deep water's, hearing the eerie call's of the Ghost Sharklantean's, but when they glanced directly at them Ghost they couldn't see anything at all.

The Ghost Sharklantean is a species that will always be a mystery, but I've heard it's more like a Sawtooth Sharklantean.

"Well that's good to know for when I want to write that down" Saphirus chuckled realizing that he was able to breathe, and followed Nikaku's instruction's with Lotus Moon doing the same. All of them reached the opposite side of the tube, exiting the black ocean water's, and entering a white tube which spit them out of a white portal in front of a strange oceanic temple. The temple itself seemed like it was dated back, as long as Equis itself, as it's very construct seemed almost more Ancient than Celestia, and Luna.

"That was rather tense, but at least we made it.....thankfully" Lotus sighed, as Nikaku chuckled.

"Thankfully getting back is more easier than it is going in" Nikaku told them, as they went to the temples front gates. Two new species of Sharklantean that not only did they, nor Creature had ever see before, stood in front of all of them, blocking the entrance to the Ancient temple, that held the creature they sought known, as the Ancient One. They were both around 18 feet tall, which was massive compared to many of the normal sized Sharklantean's.

"Those who seek passage must explain their reason to come here" One of the Sharklantean's announced, as Nikaku bowed politely before speaking.

"Ancient Sharklantean's, the travelers I have here seek information about the Sharklantean's, and for the passage to Poseidon's Breath" Nikaku explained, as they spoke in an Ancient eerie tone.

"You both have finally come.....it was foretold that all of you would be here, our long awaited meeting as come to our text's. Young male unicorn who seek's knowledge, and is romantic to the female, lewd unicorn. You come seeking the species of Sharklantean the knowledge of species that we are correct?" They asked Sapphirus who stepped forward a little anxiously before speaking.

"Um....I guess, I want to write down every species of Sharklantean for each Clan, so that Princess Twilight Sparkle, and the council will be able to hopefully make a peace treaty with them, than keep there existence secret.....after we cure the Tryphoceaus virus" Saphirus explained, as The Sharklantean's spoke.

"We know....but you, and your betrothed will soon discover that the oceanic world, may hold a place of paradise for you to be in" The Sharklantean's explained, as Lotus Moon gave them a confused look.

"B-Bethrothed.....we....aren't getting married" Lotus Moon told them, as she had a small blush on her face along with Saphirus.

"Perhaps the reason why we said that...is a form of word's that is best left unexplained" The Sharklantean's spoke, as both Saphirus, and Lotus Moon hid their blush before the male unicorn tried to change the topic.

"What kind of Sharklantean's are you two again?" Saphirus asked, as one of them spoke in his own voice.

"I am an oceanic cousin, to a dragon's lost great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather, by the name of Spike the Dragon, whom you may, or may not know.....I am a Dragon Sharklantean." The first Sharklantean told him.

The Dragon Sharklantean is one of the oldest Sharklantean's that predates many of the Sharklantean's. The strange thing about this species is that it's both a Sharklantean, and a Dragon....representing both species. According to Ancient history, Dragon Sharklantean's mostly perished during the brutal battle tactics in war against the Changeling's. Like Changeling Matriarch's (Queen Changeling's), very few Dragon Sharklantean's exist due to the war that was fought a long time ago. Dragon Sharklantean's are exactly like Dragon's, the only major difference is being a member of the Sharklantean species, and their Dragon bodies designed for advancements in water.

"This really show's just how beautiful Ancient history can be, I can only imagine how geeky Twilight Sparkle will react, once she finishes reading all of this information" Saphirus chuckled, as the other Sharklantean spoke.

"I am a Stethacaus Sharklantean" The other spoke, going over his species.

This Sharklantean is just as mysterious as the Ninja Sharklantean, but even more Ancient. The huge fin on it's back, unleashes spike's like a pufferfish, it's razor sickle fin's are unknown if known for style, or for attack. It's has many razor sharp claw's that it uses in battle against their enemies, and the lighting oceanic scale designed on it's body has even been rumored that this species of Sharklantean shoot's lighting. For some reason there is only one of these in existence, and what it's origin is, are left a mystery from the Goddesses themselves.

Saphirus gave them a deadpanned look at both Sharklantean's. "You know for all the knowledge I'm getting, and not getting this make's me question if Celestia, and Luna know secret's of our own society that she has never known" Saphirus sighed, as both of the Sharklantean's stepped aside from the temple door which opened on it's own, leading to a bright white light.

"He is ready for you, beyond these gates....the Ancient one await's....all of you must journey inside." The Sharklantean's told them, as all of them journeyed into another huge blank white space that seemed more oceanic, and cave like, as a massive 80 foot tall Megalodon Sharklantean towered above all of them. They realized that all of them were floating, as if they were underwater, but could breath, and talk easily. The Megalodon Sharklantean was very, very, Ancient....it's skin looking mostly dried out, and full of many, many wrinkles. It faced all of them, as it spoke in it's huge, gigantic voice.

"All of you have finally come for answer's" The Ancient Sharklantean spoke, revealing to them that he was the Ancient One that they were searching for.

These Ancient Megalodon's Sharklantean's may be the reason why these Sharklantean's exist. The Goddesses themselves say that they were birthed from another dimension in Ancient times that led to many of these Sharklantean's being here. For Equis this gave all sea ponies, and siren's an Apex Predator for them to fear, and hunt...a way of nature bringing balance to the world with magic, consisting of the limit's, or even the untold limit's of what magic can do. For every type of pony, there is a Changeling originally designed to feast on ponies. For every Sea pony, and Siren.....there is a Sharklantean. The Ancient Sharklantean's may know of this other world, or what Equis was like in Ancient times.

Saphirus was rather glad that he would somehow remember all of this when he got back to the ship, being glad that he kept a journal for all of this, and making sure it stayed undamaged when they would return. The Ancient Megalodon turned to all of them, as he spoke to Creature. "Young Great White....I am afraid that almost all of the Goddesses from each Sharklantean Clan have only delayed the inevitable. To be specific, the Goddesses knew that this day would come, the day a new Sharklantean will be chosen to be the King of the new clan's, and will chose the most trustworthy of all Clan's to lead our species to a brighter future"

The Ancient Megalodon explained, as Creature looked up, at the towering Sharklantean, and spoke. "But....how will each of the Clan's survive, from this Infection?" Creature asked, as the Ancient one spoke to him again.

"You will all survive this Plague, and the Mainland of Equestria, will be un-infected, but you all need to follow the current instruction's. Nikaku, and his two temple guardian's will be joining you on your journey. The Dark Clan hold's the final missing piece of the incomplete cure, but before you can get the cure, you must secure the Elemental Clan's Next Generation Project" He explained, as Lotus looked up at the giant Sharklantean, speaking with curiosity.

"What is the Next Generation Project?" Lotus Moon asked, as The Ancient one turned to her, and spoke in it's deep voice.

"The Next Generation is the future survival of all Sharklantean Clan's, and with the help of the Goddess of the Dark Clan, she will be able to help our race through the many mean's of creation. Throught them the Sharklantean's will survive, but after the adaptation of a new Sharklantean's home. You will all need to go to the island of Poseidon's Breath.....on it, are treasure's, and beauties beyond your wildest dream's......and supernatural terrors that will freeze your soul.....those who seek....beware" The Ancient Megalodon told them, as Lotus sighed.

"Sound's like a video game quest.......I like it, let's go to Poseidon's Breath first" Lotus smiled, as the Ancient Megalodon made a map appear from his huge claw's, and gave it to them.

"This is the map that will lead you all to Poseidon's Breath....after that it will be best that you use the map that you found from Veun to find the Elemental Clan's survival home. The Goddesses of the Ancient, and Elemental Clan await you all there for you to secure The Next Generation Project. After that go to the Dark Clan's home as fast as possible to get the final piece of the cure....time is running out....... NOW GO!!!!!!!!!" The Ancient Megalodon roared, as with a bright white....all of them appeared back above where they were, jumpscaring Rainbow Dash.

"AAAAHHHHH....HOLY CELESTIA!!!!!!!" She shrieked, falling flat on her ass, as Nikaku chuckled, and helped the pegasus up. She quickly dusted herself off, as she looked at the rest of them for answers.

"So did you all get the map?" Rainbow Dadh asked, as Creature held the map to Poseidon's Breath, and opened it up, revealing the co-ordinates that guided them to the island in the Colonies ocean.

"Oh yeah.....we defiently got it, and Nikaku.....you, and your Sharklantean buddies need to come with us to help secure a New Generation of Sharklantean's for the future" Creature explained, as Nikaku chuckled before speaking.

"Say no more, but in order for me to travel with you, I have two essentials that I will bring, that I recommend that no one touches....and those are my bamboo staff, and the bamboo hat" Nikaku smiled, as Saphirus shook his head.

"Again with the bamboo hat, who the fuck are you trying to be, Thunder God Raiden?" Saphirus asked, as Nikaku chuckled.

"I'm pretty sure Thunder God Raiden, wasn't a 9 foot tall Anthromorphic shark who has a mysterious past like an anime character.....and could use unique Ninja soul fire, like Ghost Rider uses his own power in Marvel.....plus.....I look GOOOOOODDD" Nikaku smirked proudly, as he played with the rim of his metallic bamboo had letting his edge shine.

"I'm going to die surrounded by the biggest idiots I've ever met in my entire life" Lotus Moon sighed to herself, earning a laugh from Saphirus, as Creature spoke up.

"Perhap's it's best we discuss this on the boat....because as of right now, we have certain matters to attend to, and an Infection to cure.....let's go" He motioned all of them, who agreed with the Sharklantean, heading back to the ship, and embarking on their journey to Poseidon's Breath.

Chapter 16: The Captain's Request (Clop)

With the new Sharklantean company being on board, the Ancient Megalodon wasn't lying about needing them to go to the island. The ship was packed, with all of the other Sharklantean's from below deck, trying to get used to everything that was going on. Another problem was that the Magic Seal supply, was now not applying enough to support all the Sharklantean's. Some were tired, and weak, but did their best to survive, even eating fish with low magic qualities to thrive in their nature.

The scientist's had to create a seperate cell for each of them, just to not get eaten, by the starved shark like monster's that were now using only instinct for survival. The creatures were thankful for the fish that was re-frigerated in cooler's, and thank's to magic were constantly keeping them cool.

Nikaku had taken up the last of the quarters on the massive pirate ship that they were all on with futuristic technology attached to it. They needed to get Poseidon's breath fast, they can't stay on the ship for long, without hell breaking loose, and they couldn't go back, due to their mission being too important, or the dangers that lied back there. This didn't mean some of them couldn't relax....especially Captain Rainbow Dash. So many option's to go through, and all the situation's becoming stressful, and put some tension among some of the crew itself.

Not only that, but with Rainbow Dash trying to bond with Lovebug Setkiss, having a small form of success. Both of their argument's were exactly, as before because she seemed, as stressed out, as the Captain. Thankfully, Rainbow Dash repaired it, by asking the other scientist's to rotate their shift's so that she could have stallion's/mare's to fuck. Lovebug was okay with the arrangement, and was able to unwind, but Rainbow Dash couldn't because she was too busy piloting the vessel along the co-ordinates to Poseidon's Breath.

Nikaku had been his quarters for, a while now, and she hadn't seen him come out from it, making her a bit curious, but decided to stay on task. Echo had been laying the Island's co-ordinates with Rainbow Dash, along with the help of Creature deciphering the symbol's, as she groaned in frustration at the map. "RRRGGGHHH.....This island is almost hard to find, the location of the specific fog is hard to find in this fucking ocean"

Rainbow Dash growled, continuing to pilot the ship, as Creature double checked the map, before speaking. "No....the map should not be that hard to decipher....you should be able to tell where for us to go if you got a clear head" Creature told her, as Echo spoke up.

"Maybe that's the problem....permission to speak ma'am?" Echo asked, as Rainbow Dash sighed.

"Granted Assitant what would like to talk about?" Rainbow Dash asked, as Echo sighed.

"Dash, you look stressed....you need to go unwind" Echo told her, as Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes before speaking.

"But who the hell will pilot this ship in my absence to decipher these symbol's, and get us to Poseidon's Breath?" Rainbow Dash asked, as Mega stepped onto the upper deck, speaking as if he had arrived just in time.

"I can pilot this ship, Captain Rainbow Dash....I made sure to study, and learn how to pilot this ship, just in case everything was going to go south, and would be my only escape....plus I can read Sharklantean language for us to continue....get some rest Captain, you deserve it" Mega told her, as Rainbow Dash let out a deep, thankful sigh.

"Thank's....I definitely needed it, although since I am still stressed, I think I know someone who can help me unwind" Rainbow Dash breathed, going below deck to find the specific creature that she needed help with.

*****
Rainbow Dash strolled along the many deck's below, as she went to her destination. She appeared in front of the door's to Nikaku's quarter's, and knocked on the door loudly. "Enter" Nikaku replied, as she entered only to come across a rather beautiful sight. Nikaku was sitting, cross legged on the wooden floor, and around him were plant's that had an unusual lunar glow to them, with the sprinkles of star's. The symbol's along his body were glowing the natural cyan blue that was based off his power, as he was sitting there, meditating with just the plant's around him. He opened his eye's, and cocked his head at Rainbow Dash, a lemur like coo escaping his maw.

"Ah.....Rainbow Dash...to what do I owe you for stopping by my quarter's today?" Nikaku asked, as Rainbow Dash blushed slightly before speaking.

"I've had many stressful past few day's trying to pilot this ship....is their any chance that you know any good massage's you can give me?" Rainbow Dash asked, as he let out a sigh, moving the plant's aside....keeping them to give a light over the bed, as the Sharklantean spoke.

"Indeed I do, but if you really want me to be at work, I am afraid you'll have to ditch the top part of the uniform, in order for me to give you such a relaxing treatment" Nikaku told her, as Rainbow Dash nodded, while clicking the lock of the door behind her. She unbuttoned the jacket part of her uniform, revealing a white t-shirt before taking that off, revealing her black bra.

"H-Happy now?" She asked, while blushing, as Nikaku gave her a confused look.

"Do not take this the wrong way....you asked if I know of a massage to relax you....I do, I'll give you one to help you unwind. In order for the treatment to be successful, I have to have access to the bare skin of your back in order to apply it to you". He explained, as Rainbow Dash hid her deep blush, before getting on the bed, as Nikaku towered over her, readying his claws.

"Now.....relax Captain.....this should make you feel good" He told her, as he reached his claw's down, and began massaging her with his bare claw's, allowing the mare to gently relax her joint's, hearing them pop into place, as coo's, and moan's escaped Rainbow Dash's lip's.

"Oooohhh Yeeeaaahhh.....your oceanic skin, feel's so gooooddd" She moaned, as he continued taking care of her back, as Nikaku smiled.

"A winged pony like you, has certain joint's in your body that are more sensitive in some way. Although I've given this same treatment to sea ponies without having to worry about anything, but I'm not sure how a Pegasaus will react to this treatment" He replied, as he continued stroking every part of her back, and making her entire body relax. She felt, him go to the joint of where her wing's connected, as he began relaxing that.

"AAAAHHHNNN!!!!!!" Rainbow Dash moaned loudly, causing her to get a huge wing boner, her back arching, while she stuck her rear out with her leg's spread. Nikaku was rather suprised by this, after being knocked back, and had got back up with a small puff.

"Well that was a surpise, I guess that part of the Pegasi wing's are more sensitive than that of the Sea.......ponies" He said his voice trailing off with a blush on his face. Rainbow Dash knew what he was staring at, as that specific reaction had caused her winking pussy to make an outline on her pant's, as they started to get damp.

"I-I'm sorry it was just too......" She immedietly stopped her train of thought's before suprising the Sharklantean, by stripping. She dropped her tight pant's, revealing her black panties then un-clasped her bra, and threw it aside, letting her D-cup breast's be exposed to the open air. She took off her panties and also threw them aside to where her bra was, while staying in the doggystyle positon she was currently in. Nikaku looked at her with an unusual response, as her body glowed with the same symbols as earlier, while he stared at her naked body. "If I am suppose to be your mate, how about you get over here, and take me like one."

Rainbow Dash cooed softly, a lustful smile spreading across her face. Nikaku had felt his oceanic pocket open, as his throbbing phallus was exposed, never being used, and ready to fuck the sexy mare in front of him. Nikaku immedietly got on the bed, and towered over her, his rod waiting to part her fold's, electrical tinges running up, and down her spine. "Mmmmmm....please, put it in" Rainbow Dash whimpered, as Nikaku didn't even need to nod to answer her request. Rainbow Dash's fold's were soaked with arousel, making it easy to push his huge rod deep into her pussy, earning a loud moan from Rainbow Dash.

"AAAAHHH, YEEEAAAHH BABY.....THAT'S THE STUFF!!!!!!!!!" She moaned, feeling his throbbing phallus deep inside her pussy. He grabbed both her breast's, pinching her nipples, and began plowing into her animalisticlly, making the mare become putty in his own claw's. "AAAAHHH, AAAAHHH, AAAAHHH, AAAAHHH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, FUCK YEAH STUD!!!!!!!" She moaned, as he continued pounding the mare's pussy. "AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AAAAHHH YEEEAAAH, YOUR SO DEEP IN ME STUD.....AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH....AAAAAHHHH FUUCCCK, I'M GONNA CUM........AAAAAHHHNNNN!!!!!!!"

Rainbow Dash cried, as he rammed his shaft deep into her, climaxing with the mare. Warm Sharklantean seed was pumped deep into her pussy, as she had her orgasm, her nectar mixing with his climax, and staining the Sharklantean's crotch. Nikaku had almost the same mating instinct as the other Sharklantean's; Even after their climax, he continued pounding into her with renewed vigor, the lewd slap's of sex echoing throughout the room, as Rainbow Dash's tongue lolled out of her mouth, enjoying every second of it. "AAAAHHH, AAAAHH, AAAHH.....YEAH, FUCK THIS IS TOO GOOD....AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH.....DON'T STOP"

Rainbow Dash moaned, feeling another orgasm approach, as the same went for Nikaku each of them feeling another climax building up. "AAAHHH, AAAAHH, AAAAAH....I'M GONNA CUM AGAIN.....OH CELESTIA......AAAAAAHHHHNNNNN!!!!!!!!!" Rainbow Dash moaned, as they climaxed again, more Sharklantean seed rushing deep into her pussy, while more of her nectar squirted out of her pussy, and stained his crotch. Nikaku pulled out, letting all of the cum inside of her spill out, as Rainbow Dash moaned loudly before laying down on the bed. "Fuck yeah" She sighed passionately, as Nikaku stood there for a moment staying almost perfectly still.

"W...Why are you sitting there?" Rainbow Dash asked, before she was turned over, on her back, his claw's darting to her pussy. "WAIT, WAIT....NOT WITH CLAW'S LIKE....AAAHHH, AAAAHH, AAAAAAAAHHH!!!!!" She screamed, as his claw's played with her sensitive clit, making her become love drunk to the pleasure she was recieving. He played, and fingered her pussy, letting her juices, and their mixed cum escape her love canal. "I can't take it.....more, more....I need more" She begged, spreading her leg's wide, exposing her pussy to him once again. Nikaku pounced on her, letting her skin feel his, as the symbol's on their body were glowing brighter than ever.

She wrapped her arm's, and leg's around him, pushing her soft breast's to his muscular chest, while trying to get his shaft back inside her. "Love me, fuck me, please I'm your's, just put it in" She moaned, as Nikaku buried his entire shaft deep into her pussy, a loud moan escaping her lip's. "FUUUUCCCKK YEEEESSSSSS!!!!!!!!" She screamed, as Nikaku started fucking the mare hard, as she moaned back, matching with his thrust's. "AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AAAAHHH YEEEEAAAHH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH.....OH NIKAKU....GIVE IT TO ME....AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, I'M CUMMING.....AAAAAAHHHHNNNNN!!!!!!!"

Rainbow Dash screamed, as both of them had their final climax. More Sharklantean seed was pumped deep into her, as more of her love nectar squirted from her pussy, staining the sheet's that were already ruined from earlier, as he pulled out of her. The Sharklantean collapsed next to her, while snuggling in her arm's, as both of them came down from their high. "...That....was.....so fucking hot.....aaahh...I could get use to this" She sighed passionetly before wrapping herself up near the Sharklantean, as both of them closed their eyes, and fell asleep.

Chapter 17: Poseidon's Breath Part 1 (The Stormy Seas)

Lovebug had woken up, from enjoying her much needed relaxation from the scientist's she fucked. Not only that, but when she got up, and proceeded to the upper deck's, she noticed that Rainbow Dash was more chipper, and friendlier than earlier. A smile formed on Lovebug's face, as her thought's lingered on. Heh, I think the Captain had a good lay last night, suit's her right...she needed one, and I definetly needed my relaxation. Although maybe I should try to get to know her more, rather than have my rivalry with her.....or maybe I cam have both She thought to herself before Captain Rainbow Dash spoke.

"LAND HO!!!!!!!!" She shouted, as the ship arrived at the bay of Poseidon's Breath, as the ocean looked a normal blue, and the sky was clear. Saphirus, Creature, Lotus Moon, and Echo all were on deck after slowly pulling into the bay, as Lotus Moon scoffed.

"Pfft....this is Poseidon's Breath, I was expecting something a little more.....dangerous" Lotus Moon scoffed, as Creature turned to her, and spoke.

"Watch your word's wisely Lotus....this may look normal, but when it comes to the island of Poseidon's Breath....nothing is what it seem's" He told her, throwing caution to the wind.

"It's so calm....I don't like this, maybe we should proceed carefully" Lovebug Sektiss spoke, readying her Changeling magic.

"Remember what the Ancient Megalodon said...."those who seek.....beware"" Saphirus warned them repeating the same word's they heard.

"Don't worry, whatever comes our way, we'll all make it through" Lotus Moon reminded Saphirus, while getting closer to him. Out of nowhere, the sky turned black, and stormy, the waves becoming rough, as 3 black Reaper Pirate ship's came out of nowhere with blue soul fire, burning aboard.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON!?!?!?!?!?!" Echo shouted, as Creature got into a fighting stance.

"One of the curses of Poseidon's Breath....these ship's, and it's skeleton crew ambush anyone out of nowhere to kill anyone who enter's the bay" Creature shouted, as the fast Ghost Pirate ship's approached with rapid speed.

"PREPARE FOR ATTACK!!!!!!" Rainbow Dash shouted, as all of them scrambled for action.

"CAPTAIN, STEER THE SHIP.....THEY'RE TRYING TO BLOCK OUR ENTRANCE!!!!!!!" Creature roared, as she did just that with much difficulty, while the ship dodged multiple cannon fire.

"Mega said, these ship's have cannon's, get them out to prepare for battle" He told Lovebug, as she got prepared, while Echo helped them, as well.

"THEY'VE BROUGHT THEIR SHIP ALONGSIDE US.....WE'RE GETTING BOARDED!!!!!!!" Lotus Moon screamed, as huge pony Skeleton pirates jumped onto the ship with pistol's, cutlasses, shield's, and axes....ready for battle. 31 skeleton's had boarded, and charged at all of them. Lotus Moon had to make an adjustment, causing her bow staff to have a small, yet powerful head of a hammer to it. She swung it hard, battling, and bashing many of the Skeleton's, as Saphirus brought up his gloves, and began pummeling the fast approaching skeleton's. Creature also joined, using pure muscle to destroy the pony skeleton's that attacked.

All 31 Skeleton's from that one ship were destroyed easily. The Reaper Ship along side them, bashed against their ship, causing everyone to slide into the opposite side of the ship , as the boat started to rock back, and forth trying to stay balanced. "IT'S NOT QUITE OVER YET, MORE ARE COMING!!!!!!!" Creature pointed out, as 26 more of these Skeleton's began piling on the ship with perfect accuracy, and toward the pinned group. Lotus wrestled with every might against the skeleton's, even resorting to brutal fighting by grabbing one of their weapon's, and slicing them apart. The skeleton's had ripped some of her clothes, her favorite shirt, ripped, exposing her belly.

Her long pant's were ripped into short's, as she had bloodied cut's on her body. Saphirus fired his fist's constantly, using his glove detaches to deal with his enemies. Creature used his jaw's, and claw's to quickly tear apart the skeleton pirates that jumped on their ship like zombies. After defeating a second horde of skeleton's all of them regained their footing, getting up before heading near the front of the ship.

"WHAT THE HELL IS THATH!?!?!?!?!?!?!" Lotus Moon shouted, as a loud boom was heard when a huge Minotaur Skeleton Pirate climbed aboard, wearing Ancient armor, it's eyes glowing blank, blood red, as it roared loudly, while carrying a massive axe that scraped across the deck.

Saphirus managed to use his gloves to hit it's weak point's forcing it back. The Minotaur skeleton shook it off, and started approaching them again, ready for more, until Saphirus pushed it back near the edge of the ship. Both Lotus Moon, and Saphirus charged in together, as they both let out a battle cry before delivering two devastating blow's to it's skull, causing it to go overboard.

"THERE'S TWO MORE!!!!!!" Creature shouted, as two more of the identical Minotaur Skeleton's appeared in front of them, approaching them. It took the attack's of all of them with the help of Lovebug Sektiss who had already fought off more Skeleton Pirate's to knock those two overboard. "THERE'S MORE SKELETON PIRATES COMING!!!!!!!!" Creature shouted, 30 more piled onto the ship, and leaped down to attack them, as they bashed, or shot them down in mid-air. They all fought the Skeleton pirates, as the rain, and thunder continued crashing down on them, while they continued to fight.

After clearing the Skeleton pirates they went to get a better view of the rigging before a Molotav went off, bathing the front part of the ship with small flames. Creature turned to the Reaper ship, and let out a beastal like roar, as Lovebug Sektiss ran forward. "I'VE GOT TO PUT OUT THE FIRE!!!!!!!" She shouted, going forward, as Lotus Moon looked up the Mizzen mast of the ship, before turning to Saphirus.

"SAPHY.....UP THE MAST, WE'LL TAKE OUT THE MOLOTOV THROWER'S!!!!!!!" She shouted, as all of them climbed up the mast, and saw the Molotov Skeleton's on the Reaper ship. Lotus used her magic to reflect the Molotov's back into the skeleton's, while Saphirus used his rocket launcher part of his gloves to bash more of the skeleton's before getting the glove's back to him.

"REAPER'S!!!!!!" Rainbow Dash shouted, as she used her gun to kill 30 Green Skeletons in green Grim Reaper hood's with yellow glowing eyes, and scythes. Thank's to Rainbow Dash, and Saphirus's quick reflexes with his glove's, they were killed easily.

"NEED SOME HELP HERE!!!!!!!" Creature roared, as he was being beaten by 4 Skeleton Pirates, and a Minotaur Skeleton, but was putting up a massive fight. Saphirus, and Lotus used a zipline to swing down to the deck, and help Creature gain ground, as he ripped the remainder of his enemies apart with his claw's, and jaw's, clearing the deck of enemies, as Lovebug Sektiss put out the fire.

"STARBOARD SIDE....ANOTHER SHIP COMING IN!!!!!!" Echo shouted, as another Reaper ship approach the Starboard side, while the other ship was on port.

"DON'T LET THEM BOX US IN, GET ON THE STARBOARD CANNON'S!!!!!!" Creature shouted, as they all got to the Starboard Cannon's to take out the ship. "FIRE!!!!!!!" Creature roared, as they fired four cannon's simultaneously at the ship. All of them impacted at the middle of the ship, as smoke rose from the middle of the Reaper ship. "RELOAD THE CANNON'S QUICK!!!!!!" Creature shouted, as they prepared to fire the Cannon's again. All of them reloaded in time, and fired again the huge ship being on fire, as the Reaper ship, fired a single cannon, that hit the middle deck, knocking many of them around.

"SINK THEM!!!!!!" Creature shouted, as all off them quickly recovered from the explosion, and fired at the enemy ship, successfully sinking the Reaper ship to the bottom.

"THERE'S ANOTHER SHIP TRYING TO CUT US OFF!!!!!!" Lovebug shouted, snapping the attention of them forward, as they adjusted the cannon's to compensate, and opened fire. They hit the rear of the Reaper ship, almost destroying it's rudder before it retaliated. It fired two cannonball's, one blowing Saphirus away from the cannon, sending him flying back, while the other blowing up behind Lovebug Sektiss, slamming her into the railing, and knocking the wind out of her. Both Lovebug, and Saphirus crawled back to the Cannon's with determination, and opened fire again with the other's. This time their shot's hit the mast, further weakening the Reaper ship.

The ship fired back, blowing both of them back. Lotus Moon, and Saphirus could hear the ringing in their ear's, as both of them vomited blood from this battle. It had been the first time since they had a hell of a fight like this.....and Poseidon's Breath was no joke. They all still had their limb's, but they were both bloodied from these attack's. Lotus, and Saphirus ignored the pain, feeling their adrenaline kicking in, as they manned the Cannon's again, and fired. The final shot's blew up the second Reaper ship, as it sank to the bottom.

Both of them heard the explosion, as the third Reaper ship near them sank to the bottom. After seeing the final massive ship sink, the waters of the ocean were calm, and the sky turned blue, and peaceful. Many of them fixed the part's of the ship that were damaged, and Zecora helped treat Lotus Moon, and Saphirus as they were able to heal from the battle. "The legend's of this place weren't kidding when they say this place is a gauntlet, that was the toughest battle I've ever fought in my life" Saphirus panted, and sighed, as Lotus Moon looked around the calming sea.

"What the hell have we gotten ourselves into?" She asked, as Saphirus spoke.

"We still can't turn back Lotus, but one thing's for sure is that they aren't going to give this Island up without a fight" Saphirus growled, as he clenched his fist with fury, while Creature looked at the journal that Veun had left, and spoke.

"They say that the Island of Posiedon's Breath is guarded by 3 huge monster's....who may have gotten more powerful if the Infection has indeed reached these water's" Creature told them, as Lovebug looked out upon the water's, and spoke.

"This is going to get worse before it get's better" She told them, as they continued on their adventure into this cursed place.

Chapter 18: Poseidon's Breath Part 2 (The Great Whirlpool)

Even though the sea itself was calm, everyone was still recovering from their first battle with the Gauntlet of Poseidon's Breath. They had all even stopped the ship, and hadn't got closer to the Island itself due to their battle. Creature was currently looking out onto the horizon from the front part of the ship before being joined by the unusual Lovebug Sektiss. "You rarely ever talk to me Changeling....tell me, why do you wish to approach me now?" Creature asked, as Lovebug Sektiss sighed.

"I only came here to speak of something to get off my mind.....about how risky this Gauntlet is....personally I don't know if this was a good option, or not" Lovebug sighed, as Creature looked at the Changeling, and spoke.

"This place is the only area where we can truly reside, and be able to get to from the Gauntlet's of Poseidon's Breath....besides if we wouldn't have come here, all of us Sharklantean's would tear our only hope of fighting this infection apart in hopes of survival. Whether you like it, or not Lovebug, we have to get to this Island, and deal with whatever Poseidon's Breath throw's at us" Creature told her, as Lovebug looked down before speaking.

"My two best friend's have slowly recovered, but I'm worried about what's going to happen.....can we please just......" Lovebug was about to speak, but Creature turned to her, and spoke.

"WE EITHER DO, OR DIE LOVEBUG.....THERE IS NO GOING BACK.....LIKE IT NOT WE HAVE TO DO THIS!!!!!!!!" Creature roared at her, as Lovebug was about to lash back, but faltered to speak any word's, as the situation dawned on her.

"I'll be at the bay, hopefully I'll ask Rainbow Dash to get this boat back on course, since we're nearly repaired" Lovebug explained, as Creature nodded. She was about to walk away when she noticed something.

"H-Hey.....Creature you have some burn's on your arm's....do you need my......" Before she could speak, Creature slightly turned his head, keeping his back to her, as she gazed deeply into those oceanic eyes.....the eyes of both a warrior, and a predator that almost made her blood run cold, as he spoke in his deep fleshy voice.

"I'm fine....just go check on the Captain's status" He told her, as Lovebug shook her head before stuttering an "Ok", and went to do just that. Lotus Moon, and Saphirus had arrived on the upper deck with a few bandages that they were unwinding off their bodies, as they looked out at the waters with Creature.

"You two seem to have healed fast for a romantic pair who caught a cannonball explosion near them" Creature said, as Saphirus smiled.

"Thank's to Zecora's special healing magic I've actually been able to rapidly recover, and so has Lotus....I'm starting to see why Poseidon's Breath is dangerous, I wonder what this place is?" Saphirus asked, as Creature smiled.

"There is an artifact in this place that may help us create a cure for the Tryphoceaus virus. The island has a dark magic gem with oceanic power's that not only will help us with a cure, but give us the perfect opportunity to be able to focus all our effort's on the cure, and be safe from the Infection....for now" Creature explained, as Lotus smiled before smashing her fist against her hand.

"That would be amazingly helpful for us, but right now after that Cannonball attack, I'm rather pissed, and ready for Round 2" Lotus chuckled, as Rainbow Dash had managed to get the ship re-aligned, as it headed straight for the Island.

"Lotus.....I'm afraid you may have jinxed us" Creature told her, as Lotus Moon looked around constantly, not seeing anything before giving him a confused look.

"What makes you say that....the water's are perfectly fine, and the sky is beautiful" She spoke, as Creature spoke.

"Some Sharklantean's have sharp instinct's....it is said that when one is very tuned with the ocean, one can sense a certain level of danger before it appear's....and I'm sensing one now....and something tells me that this storm is going to be EVEN BIGGER than the last one we were in" Creature explained, as out of nowhere, the sky grew dark, as the Moon went in front of the Sun....making a Solar Eclipse appear.

"A....Solar Eclipse!?!?!?!?!?!?" Lotus Moon wondered, taking a small glimpse at it, before seeing the sky becoming black, and stormy, as the Solar Eclipse was still visible. The cloud's turned a full moon blue, as the something in the deep, rumbled in front of them.

"Here it comes" Creature snarled, as a Reaper ship pulled alongside the Port side of the ship.

" WE HAVE TO PROTECT THE SHIP!!!!!!!!" Saphirus shouted, as he, Lotus Moon, and Creature headed to the port side, ready for battle.

"DON'T LET A SINGE SKELETON BONE ON THIS SHIP!!!!!!!" Creature roared with his claw's pulled out. The Reaper ship's plank was extended onto the huge pirate ship, as 35 skeleton's with axes, and cutlasses were boarding the ship with hyper fast speed. Thankfully, Lotus Moon, and Saphirus always kept their weapon's on them, as they immiedietly got them out, and began bashing the speedy skeleton's. Lotus Moon swung her hammer with skill, and accuracy working up a sweat to constantly kill the speedy pony skeleton's. Saphirus was having the same problem, while Creature was like a bone-shredder....swiping his claw's at the skeletons faster than the eye could see.

After working up a sweat, the Skeletons on the Reaper ship's threw Molotov's at them, but thanks to Rainbow Dash's speed, she used the gunfire of her pistol's to shoot each bottle in mid-air, and the Molotov cocktail's, while Lotus, Creature, and Saphirus dealt with the 20 Skeleton's that kept crawling aboard. These Skeleton's were much slower than the last batch, but they were still difficult to take down, as Saphirus, and Lotus were doing their best to take them out. Creature was headbutting a few of them off the ship, while Lotus, and Saphirus shattered them, and let their remain's be lost to the oceanic depth's.

"EEEEEEEEKKKK......BUG'S!!!!!!!!!" Echo shrieked, as tiny little oceanic blue lump's began swarming the upper deck, their bottom area having nothing but, pointy teeth.

"RAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!" Lovebug Sektiss screamed, as her eyes glowed blank white, as her horn glowed before a shockwave of Changeling magic, erupted around the ship, frying the massive swarm of oceanic bug's.

"PORT SIDE!!!!!!!" Rainbow Dash shouted, shaking a few dead bug's off her, as she stepped back, keeping an eye out for more Molotov throwers. Lotus Moon, and Saphirus easily cleared out 8 Skeleton's before clearing the plank, and getting on it. Both of them spotting a huge mass of flammable barrel's, as they got off the plank before Lotus Moon turned to Rainbow Dash.

"Captain....if you throw a grenade at just the right angle, you'll sink the entire ship" Lotus Moon told her, as a mischievous grin came across her face.

"Perfect.....let me take the ropes then" She smiled, as she jumped on the plank, and gunned down many Skeleton's that were trying to board the ship, before popping a frag grenade, and tossing it at the barrel's. The middle part of the ship exploded, as the Reaper ship was now split in half, sinking beneath the waves, as Rainbow Dash used her wing's to fly up into the air before setting down onto the ship. Suddenly the ship was caught in the biggest whirlpool they had ever seen, as Echo tried to steer the ship.

"WE'RE CAUGHT IN A MAELSTROM....IT CAME OUT OF NOWHERE!!!!!!!" Echo screamed, as Rainbow Dash ran to the ship, and began to steer it, as she growled.

"HANG ON.....WE'RE IN FOR ONE HELL OF A RIDE!!!!!!!!" She shouted, as she steered the ship. A thundering roar got everyone's attention as a huge head of the beast appeared at the very center of the whirlpool, it's long tentacles ready to kill the intruder's.

"KRAAAAAKEEEEENNNNN!!!!!!!!!" Saphirus screamed, as the huge monstrous sea creature let out a shrilling roar, before Creature ran to the side of the ship, and let out a very loud challenging roar, threatening the giant beast. Angry, one of the Kraken's huge tentacles lifted up ready to strike.

"CAPTAIN.....RIGHT, RIGHT, RIGHT!!!!!!!!" Lovebug Sektiss screamed, as Rainbow Dash fought hard against the current, as the tentacle slammed down, smashing into a few parts of the ship, but not doing any major damage, as it's tentacle retracted back into the water. Another one of it's tentacle appeared, preparing to strike again.

"LEFT, LEFT, LEFT!!!!!!!!" Lotus shouted, as Rainbow Dash reacted in time, as the tentacle was only able to damage the starboard railing, before retracting back into the water.

"HANG ONTO THE SHIP, OR YOU'LL FALL IN!!!!!!!" Saphirus shouted, as a lot of them hanged onto the ship for dear life to not be loss to the Abyss.

"LET'S MAKE HIM BACK OFF!!!!!!!" Creature shouted, as Lovebug Sektiss used her magic, and began shooting huge pieces of Reaper wood that the Kraken was throwing at the ship, as a loud roar came from the beast, as it dove underneath the water's. "HE'S DIVING......RAINBOW DASH, SHIPWRECKED REAPER'S UP AHEAD.....STEER SO WE DON'T CRASH!!!!!!!" He shouted, before Rainbow Dash spoke.

"HANG ON!!!!!!!!!" She shouted, as she steered the ship, as hard as she could to avoid any collision with the destroyed ship's. They managed to slip through the wreckage with a rather crazy ride, but it only got worse. Two Reaper ship's kept them boxed inside the Maelstrom, and the Kraken had re-surfaced in the exact same spot, as before....ready to kill again.

"LOOK OUT!!!!!!" Creature shouted, as he forced Lotus down to the deck of the ship, while using his claw's to rip 2 Grim Reaper skeletons apart.

"WHERE DID THEY COME FROM!?!?!?!?" Lotus Moon shouted, as Saphirus was using his gloves to kill the 8 more Reaper Skeleton's that approached from the sky, as he tore them apart quickly. A huge Reapear Skeleton appeared, as it used it's evasion skill's to dodge Saphirus's gloves before diving headfirst forward for the kill. Out of nowhere Creature grabbed the Reaper Skeleton in mid-air, and threw him at Lotus Moon, who bashed him to pieces with a huge hit from her hammer....which caused a wave of numbness up her right arm

"Ow...." She groaned, before they recieved Cannon fire, from one of the Reaper ship's, boxing them in.

"SHIFT THE CANNON'S!!!!!!!" Creature shouted, as all of them changed the Cannon's to adjust to them at the front of the ship.

"FIIIRREEEE!!!!!!!" Lotus screamed, as four cannonball's erupted from their ship, hitting the Reaper ship in front of them. This second Reaper ship was just as big, as they hit the back of the Captain's quarter's. Two enemy Cannonball's, slammed into the entrance of the ship, causing many of the lower deck to be affected, but the hit wasn't enough to do damage. The group fired the Cannon's again, as it struck a huge blow to the enemy Reaper ship, who fired back, everyone barely dodging the cannonball's which exploded behind them.

"That was too close" Saphy breathed, as all of them fired the Cannon's again. Both ships fired four shot's which ended badly. Creature, Lotus, Saphirus, Sektiss who had helped were blown from the front of the ship from the huge collision. Their ship was fine....The Reaper ship sank into the whirlpool's water's. Creature stood up, shaking the hit off, as Lovebug, Lotus, and Saphirus were motionless on the ship's deck, blood oozing from their head's. He quickly managed to check their pulses, and was relieved that they were all alive.

"ECHO....GET THEM TO THE MEDICAL BAY!!!!!!" Creature shouted, as she dragged all four of them below deck for them to recover, as Creature turned his attention to the Kraken. His eyes began to glow blood red, as he let his instinct take control....the primal rage, bleeding into his brain. The Kraken wrapped it's tentacle up the middle mast, trying to pull the ship to it's doom. Rainbow Dash used as much strength to fight the Kraken's grasp, as Creature charged, at the tentacle, and began slicing it constantly, drenching his body in blood. The Kraken finally let go, as it's bloodied tentacle fell into the water's below.

The Kraken brought another tentacle up in the air, ready to strike again, as Creature charged at it, using every part of his body to shred, and attack the Kraken's tentacle, making the huge beast, bleed. The Kraken's shredded tentacles dipped into the water, and pulled up another un-harmed tentacle, as Creature tore it to shred's. Two more of it's tentacles appeared, as Creature savagely shredded them all with his teeth, and claws. Many screeches of pain echoed from the Kraken, as Creature's jaw's, and claws were dripping with blood, as his savage, primal monster side, roared back at the massive beast.

The Kraken then smacked Creature off the ship, and into the water's below. A huge wave inside the Whirlpool formed, as he had ridden the current, and slingshot himself back onto the ship, more pissed off than he already was. The Kraken brought up the it's final tentacle up, and attacked again, only for Creature to shred both tentacles at once, making it screech in pain, and leaving it vulnerable. He took one of the cannon's, and constantly fired it like a rocket launcher. Kraken blood erupted from it's side's making the beast surface more, revealing it's mouth.

Lotus Moon, and Saphirus had crawled back up to the surface, bandaged, and battered seeing it's weakness, and seeing Creature about to do something."DON'T!!!!!!!" Lotus, and Saphirus screamed in unison, as Creature lept a mile high into the sky with his claw's pulled out. He felt a bolt of lighting hit him completely, but he ignored the agonizing pain, as he dove down, and slammed his claw's into the beast's head, and sending million's of volts through it's system. The Maelstrom began to dissipate making them get out of it, as the Kraken let out a dying shriek.

Lotus Moon quickly used a huge portion of teleporting magic to get him back on the ship, as the Solar Eclipse ended, and all three of them passed out.

*****
All of them groaned, as they woke up in a medical ward in the ship with Zecora, nursing them back to health, as Lotus sighed. "That was worse than the last battle" Lotus groaned, as she felt the pain in her body before Zecora spoke.

"Their is a time for when you battle, and when you a rest, I suggest you all take a moment....and heal" Zecora advised, as Saphirus coughed before speaking.

"Please let that be the last time we ever fight a sea battle" He groaned, as he was in multiple bandages, as Zecora spoke again.

"Even after the defeat of the Kraken, there is more good new's to here the word's from the Captain say the Island Bay is clear" Zecora told them, as Creatute groggily got up, and spoke.

"The Kraken....was the only second Gauntlet that part of the bay.....we can finally journey to the island now....but first, we need to rest, with what I....recieved.....I....." Creature couldn't finish his sentence, collapsing back, and losing consciousness, as Zecora smiled.

"Thank's to a data the other Sharklantean's had revealed....he will only need 1 day to heal" Zecora smiled, as Lotus looked at the zebra mare, before speaking.

"How long will it take for us to heal?" Lotus asked, as Zecora spoke.

"With my advanced healing potion's for all three, it will take you all two day's to heal" Zecora spoke, as Lovebug Sektiss groaned before speaking.

"That's fucking perfect, stuck on this stretcher for two whole day's to heal....this had better be worth going to the trouble for, becasue I'm beginning to hate Poseidon's Breath" Lovebug growled, as Saphirus waved her off before speaking.

"Lovebug....please don't complain right now...my head is throbbing from that battle" Saphirus groaned, as all of them layed back in the bed, getting some sleep.

Chapter 19: Poseidon's Breath Part 3 (The Mountain Stream)

Two day's had passed, as Lotus, Lovebug, Saphirus, and Creature eventually recovered from their second battle that involved the Kraken. Grant it, Creature did feel a little dazed from being struck by lighting, but he managed to recover rather quickly. They also managed to repair the heavy damage done to the ship, before the repair crew being completely exhausted. All of them got the idea to go up the Mountain's stream from the basin that was connected to the bay. The ship itself, Zecora, the scientists, as well as Echo, Lovebug, and all the other Sharklantean's stayed behind on the ship.

Lotus Moon, Saphirus, Creature, and Rainbow Dash were rowing up river to find a place for everyone to stay."Something isn't right....according to the map, this area should be crawling with monster's....but it's completely silent" Creature spoke, as Lovebug shrugged.

"Well maybe after you tearing that Kraken a new one, maybe all of them decided to fuck off" Lovebug chuckled, as Saphirus shook his head.

"No....my guess is, they're going to try, and ambush us" Saphirus stated, as Lotus Moon clinged to Saphirus, and spoke.

"If it's spider's on this island, I'm staying clinged to you Saphy" She told him, while Saphirus smiled, but also blushed slightly.

"Everyone stay frosty" Rainbow Dash shouted, as the upcoming river's current sped up, giving them a fast way down.

"HANG ON!!!!!!" Creature shouted, as all of them journeyed down the huge river basin, with the current guiding them. This took them into a huge cave, as venomous bat's came down from the roof of the cave, and charged at them.

"No you don't" Rainbow Dash growled, as she whipped out her pistol's, and began gunning many of the bat's down with gunfire. Multiple venomous bat's kept raining down from the ceiling, and Rainbow Dash managed to take out every single one, even being able to reload three times with pure speed, as she gunned them all down before reaching the end of the cave.

"How come you don't run out of ammo?" Lotus Moon asked, as Rainbow Dash gave her a cocky smirk before speaking.

"I always come loaded with ammo on job's such as these....I'm a bad bitch if I do say so myself" Rainbow Dash grinned, as Lotus Moon let out a deep sigh.

"Oh dear Celestia what did I get myself into?" She groaned, as the current picked up, and the river became narrow.

"STEER YOUR BOAT'S EVERYONE...TRY NOT TO CRASH INTO ANY ROCK'S UP AHEAD!!!!!!" Creature warned them, as all of them steered the river boat's without difficulty to avoid any damage.

"THERE'S A BLOCKAGE AHEAD!!!!!!" Saphirus screamed, pointing ahead toward the rock formation that blocked their path's, as Creature got up, and cracked his fist's.

"What blockage?" Creature asked, as he used his fist's at the right time to punch down the rock barricades that would have made them crash. They came across three more rock formation's that Creature punched out of the way. The river got a little wider, as they went down a huge curve, the current continuing to take them on it's path. They heard a rumble behind them, as a huge boulder went into the huge water, as it pursued after them.

"BEHIND US!!!!!!!" Lotus Moon shouted, as Saphirus put on his glove's and fired it, smashing the boulder like glass. "Thank's Saphy" She smiled warmly, as he smiled.

"Your WelCOOOOOMMMEEE!!!!!!" He suddenly screamed, along with all of them, as their boat's were launched off a short waterfall, and the river current got slower, as they landed in it all of them still somehow staying in the boat. "Well....that was unexpected" Saphirus sighed, while shaking the water off him.

"PIRANHAS!!!!!!!' Creature roared, as a school of them began leaping, and diving out of the water's. Rainbow Dash pulled out her gun's, and began shooting them, as they rose, and fell, while some lept toward's them, as Rainbow Dash killed a huge number of three school's. A huge single piranha began leaping toward them with it's mouth open with razor sharp teeth, but a huge slash from Creature's claw's, caused the fish to fall back into the water, cut in half.

"Ah Great......Crab's" Rainbow Dash groaned, while re-loading her pistol's, as a bunch of huge jumping crab's with a massive left claw, jumped out of the sand, and went toward them. Rainbow Dash took her gun's, and began shooting them on the ground, while Lotus Moon managed to whack the rather big crab's into the water with her bo-staff when they tried to do a leap attack. After battling these many crab's, two bigger one's the size of raccoon's, scurried out on their little leg's ready to attack, only to be blown up from a grenade thrown by Rainbow Dash.

"WE'RE PICKING UP SPEED!!!!!!!!" Saphirus shouted, as the current began accelerating them forward down a small slopey part, as their boat went faster.

"ON THE LEFT SIDE.....BUG'S!!!!!!!" Rainbow Dash pointed out, as along the cliffside of the lake, thousand's of these red lumps of flesh began crawling on the wall's, ready to pounce at them. Saphirus aimed his gloves, as he began firing at bug's, before seeing way too much rock crumble on them, forcing him to stop.

"That cliff is too weak for gloves, I can't kill them without bringing a huge chunk of rock down on us" Saphirus told them.

"Leave it to me" Rainbow Dash smiled, as she pulled up her re-loaded gun's, and began constantly firing her pistol's at them, successfully bringing all of them down. "I'm gonna need to switch my ammo belt out, becasue my pistol's are starting to run low" Rainbow Dash told them, as the current brought them to a very huge lake. Lotus, Saphirus, and Rainbow Dash (who managed to re-load her gun's again) engaged more spider like crab's, and piranha's that did their best to end their lives. Many of these crab's attempted to even attack Creature but due to his size, and power he was merely brushing them off, as if they were insect's.....or eating them.

A rotten smell began to fill the air, as a certain part of the water beneath them became bubbly. Saphirus felt his blood run cold, as he realized what it was that was beneath their boat. "GEYSER!!!!!!!!!" He shouted, but it was too late, the geyser erupted, as their boat was catapulted high into the air, and over a Reaper pirate ship, shipwreck before landing into the further part of the river. The waters were once again fast, as the boat began to rock back, and forth, while also swerving along withcthe current. They managed to dodge many falling rock's before coming across a very huge waterfall, as the river became narrow, and all of them fell down another huge waterfall.

Once again, all of them somehow managed to stay in the boat. "Ugh.....I feel like I wanna lose my lunch" Lotus groaned, doing her best not to puke. The water's behind them began to shake wildly, as a massive 30 foot tall crab emerged from the river's water's as it angrily roared at all of them. Thankfully the impact of the crab getting up, caused them to move further down the river, as the huge crab pursued after them.

"RAINBOW DASH.....WATCH THE FRONT, LET ME HANDLE THIS GUY!!!!!!" Creature roared, as she nodded, steering the boat, while Creature guarded the back, as Saphirus got in front of Lotus Moon, raising his gloves.

"I'll help" He smiled, as both of them readied for battle. Creature had an idea, as he lept forward, and punched both leg's that were climbing on the wall's of the rocky cliff, like a spider. Saphirus got the same idea, as he fired his gloves, at the creature's leg's. After the impact Saphirus's own glove's, rocketed back onto his fist's. The huge crab staggered a bit, but continued it's pursuit. It sped up, ready to attack with it's claw's. Saphirus managed to strike it's left claw into the cliff, as it roared angrily. It tried to swipe it's right claw at Creature who saw the attack coming, as he jumped high into the air, lept off the cliff wall, and gave it a powerful punch in the face, knocking it back.

Creature backflipped back onto the boat, while keeping an eye on the giant crab. The crab still kept up it's pursuit, before it's cage, like mouth opened, as bubbly foam began form in it's mouth, as Creature turned to Saphirus. "THAT FOAM IS POISONOUS......EVERYONE.....DOWN!!!!!!!" He shouted, as Rainbow Dash ducked down with Creature, while Saphirus tackled Lotus to the boat, as a ray of toxic foam fired from the crab's mouth. It fired 3 times before re-attempting to attack, as Creature, and Saphirus almost immiedietly got back up their feet, as the crab rushed forward on it's spider leg's ready to capture Rainbow Dash.

The Pegasi managed to use her speed to dodge the attack, as she threw a grenade into it's claw's which detonated, angering the huge crab even further. "I'M NOT RARITY....I AIN'T SO VULNERABLE TO CRAB'S!!!!!!!" She hissed angrily, while firing her gun's a few times at the creature who tried to recoil for another attack. The crab was very persistent, trying to scoop up Rainbow Dash, as she easily fought it off with as many bullet's, and grenades, as she could. Finally with enough power she blew it's right claw off, making it howl in pain, as clear blood erupted from the wound.

The crab was even more furious, as it charged with huge speed, and almost killed Saphirus with it's left claw. The male unicorns ducked quickly, as a huge snap was heard of it's claw snatching thin air. The crab had enough, as he climbed a much higher height, smashing through a rocky bridge, and sending rubble down to the boat. Creature saw a pattern, as he lept forward, and bashed each of the debris out of the way, before jumping up, and slicing one of it's six leg's off. The crab roared angrily, as it tried to charge forward, it's mouth beginning to bubble, ready to spew more toxic foam from it's caged mouth.

Before the Crab could fire, Saphirus used his gloves to blast another one of it's right leg's off the body, as the crab dangled, and limped, but was still climbing on the rocky cliff faces, very persistent of ending it's prey. Saphirus growled, as he brought his gloves back, and readied for another attack before smiling. "Sleep tight with the fishies Mr. Big Meaty Claw's" Saphirus growled, before firing his gloves again, tearing one of it's left leg's off. The crab screeched in agony, as it lost it's balance, and crashed into the river behind them, dead from the fall. All of them were able to get a breather, as Lotus Moon gave Saphirus a warm smile.

"Nice work Saphy" She cooed softly, as Saphirus sat down on the boat, and sighed.

"I'm starting to think of moving to this island once we clear the gauntlet's.....it has a lot of excitement than Equestria did" He sighed, as Lotus Moon looked back at the dead crab, and replied.

"I can agree on that" Lotus Moon chuckled, somehow getting use to this, and enjoying the adventure. The river came to an end, as it lead them to a nice forest with a huge cave system up ahead, as all of them got out of the boat's, as Creature sighed.

"Look's like the only thing we can do....is move forward" He huffed, as all of them continued to explore the island....known as Poseidon's Breath.

Chapter 20: Poseidon' Breath Part 4 (The Cave's of Titanobia)

The sound of a torch being lit was heard, as Creature looked around throughout the darkness of the caves ahead. Lotus Moon, and Saphirus had used the glow of their horn's to see what was going on around them to see through the darkness of the cave. Rainbow Dash herself also kept a torch which would also help her see, as they had gone from the entrance to the tunnel to where they were planning to map the place itself out. "Interesting....the tunnel's in this cave look like something big made them, tearing through all of this" Creature told them, as Lotus Moon shuddered.

"Usually in stories that's a bad sign" She shivered, as Creature, and Rainbow Dash paused, giving Lotus Moon a suprised look, as she spoke.

"What.....I also have read a few book's, and seen movies that involve dark caves such as these" Lotus Moon told them, as Creature shrugged before speaking.

"Well then, we should continue OOOONNNN!!!!!" He shouted, and screamed with the other's, as the ground beneath them gave away, and all of them fell into a huge hole. They all got up, seeing that the entire place around them look like an underground bar, with lamp's, and very aged booze with tiny roaches hanging around.

"Well....this is interesting" Rainbow Dash said, before a bunch of pony Skeleton's popped up from their hiding places, some having pistol's, and even cutlasses.

"Here we go again" Lotus Moon sighed, pulling out her bo-staff, and Saphirus got his gloves ready. Creature readied for battle, while Rainbow Dash, pulled out her pistol's. 22 of these Skeleton pirates came out of nowhere, as they began fighting them off. Rainbow Dash took care of the one's that had pistol's, as she was a faster, and better shot than these dead drunk's. Her gun fire ripped through them, as she thankfully had changed her ammo belt way earlier giving herself many full magazines for the job. Lotus Moon used her staff to bash many of the bony skeleton's into oblivion, while Saphirus helped smash each of the skeleton's they fought.

Creature noticed that some of these Skeleton's had tomahawk's, and were slicing, and throwing them with accuracy. Creature's skin was able to take the punishment of each tomahawk, as the throw's knocked him back, before he charged in, and bashed them into a pile of dust. All of them managed to clear out the bar of the skeleton's that attacked them. Lotus Moon picked up one of the tomahawk's she found, using a small part of her magic, with the help from Saphirus to not only make it metallic, but also come back to her with a pulse of her horn when she threw it. This helped, due to her bo-staff not being a ranged weapon at all.

"Noice" Saphirus clicked, as Lotus Moon giggled softly before they exited the door, and shut it behind them....leaving them in pitch blackness. The sound of foot step's was heard, but no one was there. A huge curved ghost sword appeared out of nowhere, as Creature recognized what the sword was, and readied for battle.

"Uh-oh" He spoke, as all of them turned to him with concern.

"Uh-oh what?" Saphirus asked, as Creature spoke.

"That's a Sword Phantom, the ghost of a pony trapped inside of that sword, and cursed to it forever. It lives in the darkness where it's blade devour's the soul's of those who are killed by it's blade" Creature answered, as Lotus Moon shivered, getting in a defensive stance.

"And I thought Infected Sharklantean's were bad enough" She spoke, as Creature got into a fighting stance, and spoke.

"Be fast, and nimble. This sword is very skilled, if we destroy the sword we kill the Phantom" Creature told them, as Lotus Moon smiled.

"Then let's make this a three on one shall we" She growled, as she charged in for the first attack. The sword danced, and attacked, as it's ethereal blade clashing with Lotus Moon's metal bo-staff. This made Saphirus charge in, as he used his glove to karate chop the sword in half, destroying it with ease. Another Sword Phantom appeared, but Creature easily used his claw's, matching it blow by blow before pushing forward, and slicing it in half. They heard a strange disgusting noise, as the sound of gunfire echoed behind them. Rainbow Dash shot up many of those big, red, ugly lumpy bug's they had come across before.

Rainbow Dash ran out of ammo, as she shoved some fresh clip's in both her pistol's, having a mischievous smile on her face, as she chuckled. "Don't forget about me dipshit's" She giggled, as Lotus Moon smiled.

"Of course we wouldn't forget you Captain....it's one of the reason's why you came along on this trip" Lotus smiled, as both mare's giggled, as Creature spoke.

"Let's move." He told them, with urgency, all of them continued forward, until two ghost sword's charged at Creature arm who saw the attack coming, and blocked it with his arm. The sword's ripped out of his right arm, as he immedietly slashed the left one, while Lotus Moon charged in with remarkable speed, and bashed the other ghost sword in half. Two more ghost sword's appeared, as it looked like they were "skipping" happily to kill their victim. Creature used the wall's, and ceiling's, jumping off, and spinning like a torpedo using both of his claw's to slice each sword apart, and landed on both of his feet on the cave floor.

"Come on" Saphirus ushered, as all of them continued forward, looking for a clearing, or a way out, until they came across a moonlit part of the cave that was huge. A swarm of bat's immedietly came off the wall, and attacked them, as they all fought the swarm off with a lot of difficulty. They managed to kill the venomous bat's, but not without taking a few cut's, thankfully their venom not being enough to kill them. A huge rumble echoed throughout the area, as from a big crack the front part of a huge snake was in front of them, letting out a thundering hiss. It's mouth opened, as it tried to eat them, but Creature gave a powerful punch to the top of it's head, punching, and slashing at the massive snake.

The snake itself recoiled, and attempted to strike Creature from all side's. Luckily for the Sharklantean's heightnened instinct's he managed to dodge the snake each time it attacked, while giving it a bunch of attack's from each blow he dodged. He finally landed, and managed to get a firm grip before landing a single punch that stunned the massive serpent. "IT WON'T BE DAZED FOREVER.....LET'S GO!!!!!!!!!" Creature shouted, as they all charged out a hidden door, finding a lit cavern with a waterfall in it. All of them encountered a battle that was a very hard fought one. 71 Skeleton's charged at them with extreme power, as they fought for their very lives.

Lotus Moon was thankful that she was able to use her new tomahawk to do some lethal damage, but she still did her best, along with the other's to fight off the massive hoard. Out of nowhere a huge explosion knocked them off their feet, as they hit the cave floor hard. Blood leaked from Lotus, Saphirus, and Rainbow Dash's head, as the three ponies looked up seeing two Skeleton's behind a bunch of cannon's. Creature stood up, spitting some blood from his mouth, before letting his primal fighting instinct take over once again. Before he could react, a huge Minotaur Skeleton, jumped down from above the cave wall's with a huge shield in hand.

The Minotaur, buried it's axe into the Sharklantean's shoulder, as Creature kicked the Minotaur back, and used his claw's to shred it's shield. The Minotaur roared, as it ripped it's axe from his shoulder, and prepared to strike again. Creature charged in, and headbutted the Minotaur Skeleton into the furthest part of the cave wall, the impact shattering the skeleton into a million pieces. "ELEVATOR!!!!!!" Rainbow Dash pointed out, as all of them dashed for it, coming across a huge mine rail system of gondolas which led to many part of the tunnel's. "HOW ARE WE GOING TO HOLD THEM OFF, BEFORE WE GET MOVING!?!?!?!?!?"

Saphirus shouted, as Lotus Moon saw two cannon's, and pointed at them. "Let's use these.....Creature I'll need your help" Lotus told him, as Creature nodded. Saphirus, and Lotus manned the two cannon's, and began shooting at the two skeleton's who were on their Cannon's that many of the other skeleton's who helped set the up Cannon's to destroy them. Thank's to Creature's help, even when the skeleton's tried to fire the cannon's at them, he used the environment around them to quickly get to them, and kill the skeleton's manning the cannon's, while Lotus, and Saphirus provided cover fire.

After getting out of the way, all of them got into the railing system which led them down many tunnel's, as an escape route. Along the way, the huge snake from before came out from one of it's tunnel's catching up to them, looking to devour it's prey. "Ah great.....it's back" Saphirus groaned, as the snake was big enough to keep up with their ride. It's opened it's jaw ready to attack, before tacking a huge punch on the forehead with Saphirus'd massive fist, knocking it back a bit, before it continued after them, not losing sight of them. They soon had to snap forward, and dodge debris to keep themselves from being killed.

They heard the roar of the snake behind them with it's jaw open. "GIMME YO' FUCKING FOREHEAD!!!!!!" Creature roared, as he gave the huge serpent a powerful kick, knocking it back from his powerful attack. Rainbow Dash saw more debris up ahead, as she pulled out her pistol's, and shot them with ease, clearing a path for them. The snake continued charging forward, ready to coil for another strike, until Lotus Moon threw her Tomahawk, and punctured it's chin, and attracted the weapon back to her with some difficulty. Blood leaked from the snake's chin, but it still stayed on it's prey, not faltering. Rainbow Dash used more bullet's to clear a path, as she had burned through 6 magazines, and quickly reloaded again.

The serpent charged again, and almost bit Saphirus if Lotus Moon didn't slam her Tomahawk down onto it's head, and re-called it, followed up by a deep slash from Creature's claw's. The snake was bleeding badly, but it continued to press on, wanting to eat all of them. Lotus Moon spotted what appeared to be explosive barrel's, and knew what to do. She threw her tomahawk into one of the barrel's which caused a chain reaction that blew a huge chunk of the snake's face off, letting blood, and brain fluid erupt from it's head, as the snake skidded of to the side, dead.

All of them breathed, and panted, as the gondola guided them to an exit to the cave which had a huge section of island that could be used as a futuristic base of operation's for the adventurer's, and a safe place to develop the cure. "I don't believe it.....this part of the Island, is so spacious.....and we can do a lot of thing's with it, and even set up a system from what we just saw" Saphirus smiled, as Lotus Moon chuckled, and smiled as the two hugged, laughed, and cheered that they finally found the place they needed. Creature however, noticed a part of a rock wall that didn't look normal. "It look's like their's one more thing's to grab, before we can get started"

He said, as he investigated that area to further to explore that certain part of the island.

Chapter 21: Poseidon's Breath Part 5 (The Treasure of Poseidon's Breath)

Creature had looked over the rock face over, and over again, as he studied it rather carefully. Rainbow Dash noticed this, as she went over to Creature with a curious look on her face. "What is it?" She asked, as Creature felt a huge part of the rock, and came to a realization.

"This rock wall is fake....stand back" He told her, as Rainbow Dash sped backward out of the way, before Creature used a powerful kick, breaking the secret rock door that led to the inside of a cavern. It looked like a small bay that connected to the ocean with a secret passage that got this far inland. That wasn't the only thing however, it turn's out that there was a huge sea pony pirate ship that was made out of gold, and emerald material that sat in the waters with ancient text's scribbled on it.

"Whoah" Rainbow Dash gasped in wonder, as she darted off, and got onto the golden ship, as Creature followed behind her. This also caught the attention of Lotus Moon, and Saphirus who peaked around the corner of the cave entrance, seeing the big ship. All of them had gotten onto the ship, seeing the huge amount of golden bit's, and treasure fron almost a thousand land's.

"Wow.....this ship is beautiful" Lotus Moon sighed passionately, as Saphirus looked around, marveling at the Ancient construct's of the ship.

"Who know's how long this thing has been sitting here, and to think no one except us, has been able to survive all of those gauntlet's to see this beautiful piece of art." Saphirus realized, as he stared at the entire ship. All of them began looking around, before Rainbow Dash spoke up.

"Isn't their suppose to be an artifact around here, known as Poseidon's Breath that will be the second ingredient to the cure for the Tryphoceaus virus?" Rainbow Dash asked, until she came across something sparkly in front of her eyes. "Uh.....you guys might want to look at this" She told them, as all of them rushed over, seeing a golden orange Amulet, glowing with a dark ethereal power that was on a short chain, floating lightly above the ship's deck.

"There it is.....that is the artifact known as Poseidon's Breath" Creature told them, as he began to reach his claw's out to grab the artifact. Without warning, a boot pushed him back, as a very tall, zombified stallion skeleton rose up, grabbing the artifact. He looked like a pirate captain with a fancy hat, a royal garb, a cutlass in one hand, and the artifact. His belly had a huge hole in it, as his jaw split open like a flower, and he devoured the artifact, aligning perfectly with the hole in it's chest, as he glowed with power. He pulled out a second cutlass, as Creature got up, as they all got in a battle stance. Saphirus fired the rocket part of his gloves, but the evil Captain teleported out of the way.

Rainbow Dash pulled out her pistol's, and began firing at where he teleported, only for him to teleport again, getting closer. Lotus Moon followed the pattern, and tried to attack him again, but he teleported again to get closer. Creature also tried to attack him after he teleported, only for him to teleport again for him to land a strategic attack. Finally the evil Captain, appeared in front of Rainbow Dash with a cutlass raised, and struck. Rainbow blocked the blow with her pistol's, before knocking him back with her upper body strength, and pushed him back with more gunfire. The evil stallion teleported, and tried to attack Creature from behind, who attempted to deliver a roundhouse kick.

The evil Captain teleported again, as he readied to attack the Sharklantean with a backhanded sword attack, only to get a hard punch in the face, from Creature, slamming him into the railing. The evil Captain tried to rethink it's strategy, as he teleported to another spot. He tried to attack from up high, but Lotus Moon came out of nowhere, and used her upper body strength to bash her staff into the skeleton's head, as he slammed into the ship. The skeleton roared angrily, before teleporting again. A blue energy wave began to power through his body, as he opened a few rip's in space, and time, as more of the pony skeleton's popped out to attack them.

74 of them poured out, as they all fought their way through them, crushing them with much difficulty. Rainbow Dash's had burned through her last 3 magazines, and was already out of ammo forcing her to pick up two sword's, as she began slicing them to bit's. The skeleton pirate roared again, as he lept high into the sky, and sucked in dark magic, along with purple lighting, as he let out an angry roar. A powerful boom was heard, as multiple laughing ghost pony skeleton head's began floating, and charging at them, their disturbing demonic cackles echoing throughout the entire room.

Despite this, they were almost a similar make up of the sword's of the Sword Phantom's, as Rainbow Dash took off with her wing's, and used her speed to slash each one of them out of the sky. "EEEEEYYYYAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!" Lotus Moon shouted, throwing her tomahawk with precision, and speed, as it slammed into the evil pony captain's upper chest as the evil it roared angrily, crashing onto the deck of the ship. After Lotus attracted the Tomahawk back to her, the zombie skeleton Captain hook the hit off, but teleported still trying to fight them. Saphirus fired his gloves again, pushing it back.

The skeleton Captain tried to attack Creature with the same teleportation move, only to be bashed into the ship from a powerful crushing punch. He teleported again, and tried to slice the Sharklantean in four pieces, from above, only for Creature to leap up after him, and headbutt him back onto the ground. The evil skeleton captain was showing weakness, as he was on one knee with one of his sword's embedded in the ship's upper deck.

"I got this" Lotus Moon shouted, as she had found a crossbow from earlier, and prepared to aim it, to get the artifact out of him. She fired, but missed as it penetrated his chest, as the zombie skeleton panted and growled. He staggered back then came to a stop, while still standing. His face began to get all puffy, and weird, as blood, and puss began to leak from his body. Suddenly his face split open, as blood, and brain fluid gushed everywhere, as a huge fat disgusting brainy maggot, the size of a massive cucumber, oozed out, while still in control of the Zombie Skeleton body. The maggot's mouth opened, revealing many layer's of sharp teeth, and mandibles, as a loud roar escaped it's worm like maw.

"WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!?!?!?!?!?" Saphirus shouted grossed out, as the inhumane abomination began walking toward them. It began wobbled around, as it's mouth launched more of the laughing skeleton skull's, as Rainbow Dash easily destroyed them with ease, thank's to the help of her speed. It began to waddle toward's them, as then maggot tired to attack them, only to be slashed by Creature's claw's twice making the maggot/zombie skeleton stumble backward. It launched more laughing skeleton's at them, as Rainbow Dash, and Creature began doing certain combo attack's pushing the maggot skeleton back, and destroying the ghost skeleton head's it launched.

After another attack by Creature, the maggot was losing a lot of blood, and was screeching in agony. It once again launched more skull's, as it tried to pull off the same attack one last time. The last attack was from a simple swipe from Creature's claw's. The thing began to stumble backward, as it began to lose it's power. The artifact in it's chest began to grow with power, as it vaporized the entire being from existence. A huge beam of dark lightning was fired miles high into the sky, as it destroyed a huge invisible dome of dark magic throughout the island's entrance which shattered like glass.

The artifact collapsed onto the ground, the glow dissipating, and the gem now being harmless. Creature picked the artifact up, letting out a sigh of relief, as he smiled.

"The gauntlet's are over, and we have the entire island to ourselves....we can put everything this place has to use" Creature told them, as Saphirus sat down, along with Lotus Moon, as he spoke.

"First, let's take a breather because all of this was rough" Saphirus sighed, as Creature did the same, along with Rainbow Dash. All of them rested amongst the ship, as Lotus Moon broke the silence.

"Hey Creature.....how exactly did all of those gauntlet's....and this ship, the artifact....how did all of this come here?" Lotus Moon asked, as Creature looked high up into the open ceiling sunlight, letting the calmness of the peaceful island sound's wash over them before speaking.

"I don't know Lotus....the ocean has many secret's.....even from us, but to be honest, something's in life....are best left a mystery" He smiled, relaxing, and looking up at the sky through that rather small hole.

*****
After getting everything settled in, the island had given them many miracles, and amazing stuff to work with. It took almost 2 night's of work, but the island had been outfitted with their need's, not to mention some uses. They managed to make everything work to the best of it's ability. The bay that connected from the ocean, to the deep center of the island, was upgraded to fit both ship's to stay in, while using their way in, and out. The gondola's were re-done, and outfitted leading to the huge cavern, and back. The cavern now had more pieces of building's inside, and was now outfitted for all species of Sharklantean's to safely eat in peace.

The Magic Seal supply was hooked up to an Ancient machine, and adjusted it to a fitting colony with their own tunnel's. The Magic Seal managed to thrive, and breed over night, being able to eat off the vegetation, allowing the Sharklantean's to hunt, and devour them peacefully making them able to thrive, and not hungry enough to eat ponies again. The cave system was also re-used, as a place to keep it simple, and was also connect to the underground bar. They managed to make an elevator which led up, and down the inside, and near the other cave entrance.

The bar had been cleaned up, and was used for having them all let loose, and even eat some good food, and drink some hard Apple Cider with the help of Rainbow Dash. Outside that hole, and at the other cave entrance was considered a romantic place for a drunk, and horny couple to go up their, and fuck in the Lagoon, or on the grassy beach that let them get acquainted to the view. Despite the trouble of all of this, it was the perfect place to start an advanced civilization, which would be one of the beginning's in the future.

Zecora had inspected the Poseidon's Breath Amulet, and not only countered some of the affect's of the virus thank's to their specimen, but it look like it needed one more ingredient for the cure to work completely. Before departing for their next location they all decided to rest up for the next few day's to continue their adventures.

Chapter 22: Gladiator Arena

Lovebug Sektiss, piloted the other big pirate ship around, as Creature, Lotus Moon, and Saphirus were all on the same boat, continuing their adventure. Saphirus had finished writing down all of the information from their adventures of Poseidon's Breath, smiling after begin able to record such information. Sharklantean's, and exotic places wouldn't be the only thing that he would be writing down. Thank's to some of Creature's early description he had actually did a perfect drawing of Veun in his notebook, and he wanted to make sure he got as much information before waiting to continue.

"Alright Shark-boy, you better know what your doing, because I've been sailing this ship for hour's" Lovebug Sektiss groaned, as Creature looked back at her, and spoke.

"I know where the Ancient's have kept the Next Generation Project, but we are going to have to make a stop at one of the bay town's, as a quick checkpoint, the only problem is that this place is kind of sketchy, and all of us need to be careful when we get there.....who knows what fake sea ponies are on that island, doing goddesses know's what" Creature growled, turning his attention to the map, and helping the Changeling guide her to the right location. Eventually the normal pirate ship they had piloted docked at the specific bay that Creature had mentioned. The night sky had set over the ocean, even with the Infection still out there, they had dealt with much company.

Over the last few hour's the Infected Sharklantean's were acting more aggressive than before, trying to infect everyone on the ship again. Thank's to what they had gone through from Poseidon's Breath they were easily able to deal with the Infected Sharklantean's in the same way as before. Lotus Moon also gave Lovebug one of the earlier Tomahawk's that she acquired, except with different aspect. Lovebug actually liked the idea, considering that fighting with her magic, against multiple enemy waves was almost too taxing for her mind. It didn't take long before the pair finally made it too the dock's of where they were going, only to find it mostly abandoned.

Creature looked at the dock's with extreme interest, as he studied their surroundings. "Something isn't right" Creature snarled, as the pirate ship finally docked itself, as Lotus Moon looked at Creature before speaking.

"It's abandoned I knew you said this place was sketchy, but I don't think you meant too sketchy" Lotus Moon told him, as Creature shook is head.

"There are suppose to be other being's here.....we should stay on guard, perhap's there are Infected Sharklantean's here as well" Creature told them, as he got out of the ship, and onto the dock's with Saphirus, Lotus Moon, and Lovebug joined him with their weapon's drawn.

"I got a bad feeling about this place" Lovebug groaned, as they continued forward, while staying on guard. Underneath the dock were small electro charges with high voltage, as they chimed, making the entire dock course with electricity. Lotus Moon, Saphirus, Lovebug Sektiss, and Creature screamed/roared in pain before all of them hit the ground unconscious from the huge stun blast. A bunch of unfriendly sea ponies came out, looking at them over, and over again, while a very adult, and old looking stallion who almost looked exactly like King Sombra appeared out of nowhere looking at his catch.

"So.....we caught the main event, and a few extra" The black unicorn snickered, as he quickly lit a cigar, blowing the smoke out of his mouth, and into the wind, as his "catcher's" checked his prizes carefully.

"It look's like we've got an Impure, a male, and female Unicorn, and a Great White Sharklantean" The sea ponies spoke, as he leaned down with a smile on his face.

"Hmmm.....The Great White Sharklantean is a very excellent prize, and can be one of our main event's....as for the two Unicorn's....I think they might be a couple who will die together in the arena, and as for the Changeling.....my, my, for a disgusting Impure she's got the best curve's, and breast's I've ever seen.....you boy's can have some sensual fun with her" The dark unicorn chuckled, as one of them looked at his boss, and spoke.

"What if she becomes too much trouble Ramble?" The sea pony asked, as Ramble looked down at the Changeling, with a wicked smile on his face.

"If she becomes too much trouble, then put her in the Gladiator arena with the other's, that way they can all die together" Ramble smiledcwith a greedy look in his eye's, as they dragged them away.

"It's seem's we have caught the main event" He smiled, as they continued to the location that they came from.

*****
Lotus Moon felt her vision coming back, along with Saphirus, as both of them woke up. They both groaned, as they each looked around a cell block with steel door's, and different area's. Both of them tried to stay calm, as Lotus Moon was the first to speak. "Where are we?" She asked, as Saphirus looked around.

"Well I don't know what part of the city that we are in, but it look's like that we are in a cell" Saphirus answered, as he studied th environment around them, soon looking at their cell door. "These high frequency laser's look like they can stun, or kill anything if something impact's them....it seem's the thick wall's are here to prevent us to see who, or what our cellmates are...if we have any" Saphirus realized, as deep voice spoke next to their cell.

"Your all in Ramble's Gladiator cell, he is a very powerful unicorn who came from the Mainland long ago. I believe his son became the King of an Empire that had a bunch of Crystal's over there" The voice spoke, as Lotus Moon blinked, hearing his word's correctly.

"Sombra had a father.....this day just keep's getting better, and better" Lotus sighed, as the deep voice spoke.

"I heard your Impure friend, was going to be locked into a sex dungeon, and won't be "treated" until she wakes up from her blackout" The voice spoke, as Saphirus facepalmed.

"Oh boy" He groaned, as the deep voice spoke.

"Do not panic, if we can come up with a plan to get her out of there we can save her from what horror's they will do to her" the voice warned, as Lotus sighed.

"Actually it's not Lovebug we're worried about, it's the one's who try to treat her when she wakes up. One thing I learned about Lovebug is when it comes to lewd, and naughty thing's, she almost alway's get's her way" Lotus Moon told them, as the voice studied her word's before speaking.

"Is there a Sharklantean in there with you?" He asked, as both of them looked around before spotting Creature above them, hanging from a chain, upside down.

"They have him chained upside down" Saphirus told him, as the voice spoke again.

"When a Sharklantean is upside down, it enter's tonic immobility....there should be a small electrical prod in the cage with you two....it's not enough to set you all free, and the guard's have armor.....but it should be enough to jumpstart his instinct's" The voice said, as Lotus Moon grabbed the prod, and turned it on.

"I'm sorry buddy, but I have to do this" Lotus Moon sighed, as she shocked him with the prod. Creature's eyes popped open, and his body shook, as he let out a loud thundering roar before breaking the chain, and hitting the ground. Both of them calmed Creature down, as he shook the electrical sting off, until Ramble approached their cell.

"Ah good....your awake....." He smiled, as Lotus Moon looked at him, and growled.

"What do you want with us, I imagine that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, so what evil plan do you want from us this time?" Lotus growled, as Ramble chuckled.

"Oh trust me, I need you both as entertainment.....if you three can beat my gladiator challenges....then I might just let you all go." Ramble smiled, as Saphirus growled.

"And what's to stop you from killing us?" He asked, as Ramble smiled.

"Becasue my opponent's are Sharklantean's you have never faced before....besides, I've heard the rumors of all of you, and you'll need these Sharklantean's for the sake of your survival....but do your best not to break them" He explained, as Lotus Moon was about to say no, but Creature stopped her.

"Every species of Sharklantean matter's....if it's a fate they don't want to decide, then we must grab them....no matter the consequences" Creature reminded, as Lotus Moon sighed.

"Fine, but screw all of us over, and we'll kill you, understand" Lotus Moon growled, as Ramble chuckled.

"Understood....now get your weapon's, and head to the arena....your battle will commence shortly" He smiled, as Lotus Moon, and Saphirus grabbed their signature weapon's, as Creature followed them not needing any weapon's. All of them entered a gladiator arena with a crowd of Siren's, and Sea Ponies who hadn't left this town yet. They all got into the ring, as Lotus Moon let out a deep sigh.

"Look's like we're in another mess" She sighed deeply, as Saphirus cracked the knuckles on his gloves before growling.

"If Poseidon's Breath has taught us anything, then we should be prepared for this" Saphirus told them, as all of them prepared for what Ramble would drop from the gate, as he took a hold of a mic, and smiled.

"My fellow audience, welcome to the Battle of The Brutal, Gladiator match. I am your Ringmaster.....RAMBLE!!!!!!!!" He shouted, causing the audience to cheer, as he continued with his presentation.

"I present to you the champion's who are claimed to be the one's who will cure the Tryphoceaus Virus.....may I present to you, the two mainland unicorn's who are both lover's" He shouted, as lot's of howl's, and wolf whistles sang through the air, as Lotus Moon groaned in disgust before Ramble moved to another side of the arena. "And with them....our main star, a Great White Sharklantean who is the Apex of the Predator Clan....let's see these warrior's take on our......Three.....WARRIORS!!!!!!!!!!" Ramble sang, as all of them cheered, while Lotus, Saphirus, and Creature got in a battle stance.

The gladiator gates in front of them opened, as a big 18 foot tall Sharklantean began to walk out, as Crearure recognized it's species.
"Oh.....crap......Hammerhead" Creature realized, as Saphirus looked at him with curiosity.

"A Smooth Hammerhead, that's going to make it much easier to take down" Saphirus smiled, as Creature shook his head.

"No....this isn't a Smooth Hammerhead.....this is a Great Hammerhead" Creature told them, as Lotus Moon also looked at him with curiosity.

"What's the difference between a Smooth Hammerhead, and a Great Hammerhead?" Lotus Moon asked. She ended up getting her answer, as the Great Hammerhead let out a thundering roar, before slamming it's entire head into the concrete wall's cracking it. The Sharklantean also did the same to the other concrete wall, also cracking it, while letting out a bigger, meaner, and scarier roar that made Saphirus, and Lotus Moon freeze.

"That.....and more" Creature told them, as he began to explain, the Great Hammerhead's species.
Out of all the Sharklantean's in existence, there are two Hammerhead species that exist, Smooth, and Great. The Smooth Hammerhead is lightweight compared to the Great Hammerhead. A Great Hammerhead has powerful, muscular strength, but it has 3 thing's that make's it more dangerous. First, it's speed is legendary, and despite it's size, it is know for being super fast. Second it has almost the most highest senses than any other Sharklantean's, and can sometimes use that to give itself more speed. Finally, the huge T-shaped bone of the head is not only perfectly straight, but like the dinosaur, Pachycephalosaurus...it's head is not only bony, but powerful enough to smash, and destroy thing's without harm to it's face, or eyes.

Creature explained, as Lotus Moon felt her heart drop. "Oh....crap" She gulped, as the Great Hammerhead stepped forward with it's eyes glowing red, as it roared. The Sharklantean charged with immense speed, causing them to dodge out of the way, before it twisted it's head, hammering Creature into the wall. Saphirus leaped high into the air, and bashed his glove on the top of it's head. The Hammerhead hit the floor hard, but only growled from the hit, as it bucked Saphirus high up into the air, as he crashed onto the floor. Lotus Moon had her bo-staff, switch to her hammer mode, as she bashed it into the Sharklantean's eye.

The Hammerhead spun around for a few second's before growling, and twisting his head, returning a powerful hit back at Lotus Moon, who spun in three circles before coming to a stop. She shook off the hit, getting a better grip on her hammer, facing the Great Hammerhead. "You wanna pound.....Pound this" She snarled, as she charged forward at the Sharklantean who charged back at her. She swung a powerful hit to his eye again, as he recovered, and hammered her up into the sky, bashing her into the wall. Lotus Moon growled, as she lept off the wall, and slammed it up into the sky.

The Sharklantean's senses kicked in, as it rammed it's head into her stomach from mid-air, making her crash into the arena wall. Lotus Moon took a small breather before vomiting blood, as the Sharklantean sped forward to finish her off. Lotus Moon was barely on her feet in time, as she dodged the blow, and hammered it's head into the wall. The Sharklantean hit the ground, before getting up, and roaring, as he slammed his entire head, right into her cheek. Blood spewed from her mouth, as Lotus Moon was brutally smashed into the wall with extreme force.

Her vision was becoming blurry, blood oozing from her head, and it felt like her arm was broken. The Hammerhead Sharklantean approached her, ready to finish her off. Saphirus got up, and saw the scene happening in front of him, as he mustered every ounce of strength to get up. He charged in, and swung at the Sharklantean, only for him to hit empty air, as the Sharklantean hammered him in the stomach. Saphirus was being thrown to the wall, but not before he fired the rocket part of his gloves which hammered the Sharklantean into the concrete floor, before he collided into the wall.

Saphirus tried multiple times to get up, but extreme pain shot through his back, as he looked at the Sharklantean. The Hammerhead was dazed, and confused, as it tried to get up, stumbling torward Lotus Moon. Creature came out of nowhere, as he ran forward, and bashed the Hammerhead into the wall, who shook off the hit, and had enough for one last charge. It ran full speed, at Creature who barely dodged the blow, letting the Sharklantean collide into the arena wall. The Hammerhead began to stumble back, while Creature punched him from behind, slamming the Sharklantean into the wall, knocking the Hammerhead unconscious.

"I hope....that.....was worth it" Creature sighed before passing out.

*****
All three of them woke up back in the cell they were in with one of the wall's of the cell stripped, and replaced with a tough reflected glass. This allowed them to see the Hammerhead Sharklantean who had been treated. They were also treated, as Lotus Moon felt her arm being alright which led to her figuring out that she had dislocated it in that fight. Saphirus had also recieved treatment to his wound's, as did Creature. Ramble stepped into the area with the cell's, and smiled. "Well played, to the victor go the spoil's, and so much more"

He smiled, as a part of the Hammerhead's cell we're flooded with Magic Seal, as it began drinking, and eating from being starved for so long. The Sharklantean's mind left survival mode, and was now full from eating.

Ramble also turned, and gave Lotus, Saphirus, and Creature prestined food, and water, as they all ate, and drank happily. "As promised, since you beat him the Hammerhead Sharklantean is now your property....he will share the same cell, as you, and will also eat, as much as you" Ramble smiled, as Lotus Moon growled.

"Then what are you waiting for.....let us go" She growled, as Ramble chuckled before smiling.

"Not yet, if you want to leave you three must be the next Sharklantean Champion that we have in our cell's. I can guarantee all of you, that this next one is going to be an even more dangerous challenge than the one you just fought" Ramble chuckled, as he left before the arrangement's were made. The Hammerhead Sharklantean wasn't really an idea cellmate....like the rest of them he sat with them on hour's end not able to speak. Creature guessed that this was due to how long he was in survival mode before captivity....which meant that he stayed silent.

Hour's ticked by, as all of them were unsure of what was going to happen before Ramble came back with a wicked smile on his face. "Ok, you two....and Creature, it's time for you all to face your next challenge, and for you Hammerhead.....you'd better hope that they win, or you will be starved to death once more" Ramble cackled, as Saphirus felt the vein's in his fist crack, really wanting to punch him in the face, but unable to due to their situation. They all entered the Gladiator Arena again, as Ramble introduced all of them, before shouting for them to engage their second Sharklantean Champion, as it began walking out of the gladiator door's.

This Sharklantean species looked nothing like anything they had ever encountered, as Creature spoke. "Helicoptron....the Sharklantean that shred's" Creature told them, as it's circular buzzsaw maw, twirled, and twisted as it let out an ear piercing screech, allowing Creature to go into more detail, about this Sharklantean.

The Helicoptron is one of the many freakiest Sharklantean's. When it was first discovered, both the Dark Clan, and the Elemental Clan had to come to an agreement to who would get the Sharklantean, the Elemental Clan won the election, and the Helicoptron was rewarded with both gift's of the Elemental Clan, while still having some power's from the Dark Clan. It's jaw is mostly circular, and work's almost like a Mososaurus. The eyeball on it's left shoulder is actually a huge second mouth. When the Helicoptron eat's, this second mouth spew's a blue ethereal laser beam. It is a very deadly Sharklantean, and is freaky looking.

"WELL OF COURSE IT'S FREAKY LOOKING, I FEEL LIKE I'M IN RESIDENT EVIL RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!" Saphirus shouted, as Creature got into a battle stance, along with both of them. The Helicoptron charged at them with full speed, using it's razor sharp claw's to attack. Lotus Moon pulled out her bo-staff, as she bashed it into the Sharklantean's face. The Helicoptron stumbled back before re-gaining it's senses, as it's second mouth opened, firing a blue laser at them, causing all three of them to scatter. Saphirus used the arena wall's to deliver a powerful punch, followed by a deadly attack from Creature.

The Helicoptron roared angrily, as it charged forward, knocking Lotus Moon out of the way, until it came to a screeching to halt.

The Sharklantean turned around, as it's jaw opened, and his bladed mouth began to spin wildly, sounding like a chainsaw, and flesh being shredded, fused together knocking Creature back from his suprise attack. The Helicoptron let out an ear piercing screech, as it charged at Lotus Moon who was just getting back on her feet. Saphirus quickly tackled her out of the way, as it's chainsaw mouth slammed into the concrete wall, shredding it with ease. The Sharklantean turned to the two on the ground, as it's second beam began to charge up, ready to kill the couple.

A loud crunch was heard, as Creature recovered, and had head-butted the Sharklantean head on, as it slammed into the arena wall. Creature continued to bash, and beat the powerful Sharklantean, but was eventually pushed back, and even had his claw badly cut from the Sharklantean's chainsaw mouth. Saphirus was the first on his feet, as he fired his gloves, hammering the Helicoptron into the wall again. The Helicoptron gripped the wall, poised to get up, before getting bashed in the head from Lotus Moon's staff.

The Helicoptron had enough, firing it's huge laser, to spew energy everywhere. All 3 of them collided into the arena wall from the attack, as the Helicoptron panted, before making it's way over to them. Creature ttook a different approach, as he used the shadow's of the arena to his advantage, and lept out of nowhere, crashing his feet into the back of the Sharklantean, slamming it to the floor, Nightstalker style. The Helicoptron growled, as turned on it's back, and began giving the Great White deadly swipes. Creature snarled, as he began landing brutal punches, with every hit bashing into the Sharklantean.

The Helicoptron roared, before priming it's body, and kicking Creature into the arena wall, as it got back up. Both Sharklantean's vomited blood from their mouth's that stained the Gladiator arena floor. The Helicoptron let out a thunderous roar, as Creature let out a thunderous roar of his own, as both of them charged. Both of them delivered a powerful punch in mid-air, but Creature used his instinct to double back, and score a second mid-air punch, sending the Sharklantean into the ground. Creature panted from the powerful attack, as the Helicoptron was knocked out cold.

Creature was exhausted from his huge battle, and collapsed to the ground weary, as Lotus Moon, and Saphirus joined him, panting from their battle with the Helicoptron. All of them were then limped away to the cell, the battle taking too much energy out of them, for the three to try, and escape. The Helicoptron was also dragged out too, as thrown into went their cell. Ramble approached them with a twisted smile on his face, after they were secure in their cell's "Well played my warrior's, well played, and also as promised the Helicoptron is your's to take back....you may have been lucky, but next battle....you will all DIE!!!!!!!"

He shouted with a slight anger in his voice, as Creature chuckled before approaching the cell door, and spat in his face. Ramble responded with a powerful punch through the door, without getting an arm cut off, as he growled. "I am beginning to despise you already, if I am done, it may be your execution that will occur next" He growled, as they quickly fed the Helicoptron, and let ot drink ton's of water, breaking it's instinct mode, and leaving him with the Great Hammerhead, and the other three as the was closed, shut, and locked.

Chapter 23: Escaping the Gladiator Arena (Clop, and Story)

More hour's seemed to tick by, and all of them still had their wound's, and bruises treated, despite Ramble's word's. The Helicoptron was also a Sharklantean that didn't speak, but like the Great Hammerhead it knew who they were, and why they were here, hoping for a new place in survival. The voice of the cell next to them spoke up with interest, getting the attention of Lotus, Saphirus, and Creature. "I have to commend you three for your battle's against the other two Sharklantean's. You all are very good, and talented in battle....but I can tell you that your next one will be your hardest one yet" The voice explained, as Lotus Moon inched closer to the wall.

"What exactly make's you say that?" She asked, as the voice spoke up on the other side.

"Because I'm afraid that I am your next opponent, and considering the species I am, I was considered a rumored creation to the Goddesses" The voice explained, as Creature gulped.

"There are a few rumored Sharklantean's that I've heard so much about, but if you are telling the truth, I hope Lovebug can help us get out of here in time....otherwise we are in trouble" Creature grumbled, as the Sharklantean on the other side of the cell sounded more interested.

"I hope she does to, becasue if you have an escape plan, I am more than happy to get off this island if you have a way to get us out of here" The Sharklantean told them, as Lotus Moon chuckled.

"Knowing my best friend, she usually has something up her sleeve, and not many can keep a Changeling like her down" She smiled, as the Sharklantean in the other cell spoke.

"Normally I'd be very hesitant against trying to be with, or even partner up with an Impure, but becasue of my current situation these past few year's.....I'd rather take my chances with all of you than be cooped up in here" The Sharklantean told them, as Ramble came in with an evil smile on his face.

"Alright my three successful gladiator's....it's time to meet your doom" He smiled, as he guided them all out of their cell, and back to the Gladiator arena, making sure that they picked up their weapon's when got to the gates of the arena. All of them entered, as Ramble smiled, while hearing the audience cheering for the next battle. "WELCOME EVERYONE FOR THE FINAL CHAMPIONSHIP, GLADIATOR BATTLE.....YOUR THREE RETURNING CHAMPION'S....and THE GREAT WHITE SHARKLANTEAN!!!!!!!!" He shouted, as the crowd erupted with huge cheer's, and whistles

"They've dominated A Great Hammerhead, and even the deadly Helicoptron.....BUT NONE OF THEM.....Will survive against this.....BEHOLD.....Their opponent.....the ATOMIC......NUCLEAR......MEGALODON...........
SHARKLANTEAN, or as we know him....A.T.O.M.I.C.!!!!!!!!!!!!" He annocuned, as the door's opened, revealing the powerful beast. The Sharklantean broke all four chain's, while having some of the metal clamp's on his skin. It stood 18 feet tall, and had four arm's, it's body was orange, and striped, but glowed a toxic radioactive green, while his jaw's also glowed bright green, as the Sharklantean let out a thundering roar.

"Oh....hell no" Saphirus spoke, as the powerul Sharklantean towered above them.

"This is not good" Creature spoke, as he explained this rumored Sharklantean species, that he had thought of to be a myth.

The Atomic Nuclear Megladon is one of the deadliest Megalodon's in existence (Not counting Megalodon's Infected by the Tryphoceaus Virus). This Sharklantean is big, powerful, and deadly, it's four arm's are able to deal with attack's from all side's, and can even use it's tail to bash enemies aside. The Sharklantean doesn't eat any lifeform's at all, but devour's toxic, and nuclear waste created from either magic from the Goddesses, or technology from the sea ponies to re-energize itself with a full course meal. This also help's the Sharklantean heal in battle, and can allow him to continue a battle that he's losing, and his bite is toxic to the touch.

Creature explained, as all of them got into a fighting stance. Lotus Moon let out a deep sigh, as A.T.O.M.I.C. roared again. "Lovebug......please hurry" She whispered to herself, all of them preparing for a powerful battle.

A.T.O.M.I.C. roared again, as he charged at Creature head on, knocking the powerful Sharklantean into the wall with a double punch from his two arm's. Lotus Moon made her bo-staff become a hammer, as she charged at him, and bashed his face with a hammer. A.T.O.M.I.C spat blood from his mouth, but only growled, as he punched Lotus Moon into Creature, as both of them grunted in pain.

Saphirus charged in, as he used his gloves to bash A.T.O.M.I.C. with multiple hit's before the Sharklantean unleashed a powerful punch at the unicorn, knocking him back. The Atomic Nuclear Megalodon let out a thundering roar, as Lotus Moon, Creature, and Saphirus all began to get up. Before any of them could continue a loud explosion came from one of the closed Gladiator gates, as The Helicoptron, and The Great Hammerhead were on both side's of a familiar Changling that they were all happy to see. "Someone call for the Lovebug, because I'm about to deliver some pain" She grinned with the escape plan commencing.

Many hour's earlier.....

Lovebug Sektiss groaned, as she began to wake up from being knocked out, and found herself chained in a dungeon. She grunted, and growled unable to get herself free, until she heard the cackle of two sea ponies, who looked at her in their Pegasaus form's. "Why hello there our plaything, I must say your a very beautiful Changeling.....a shame that" He cackled, as both of them were eyeing her up as a piece of candy. Lovebug groaned, and growled trying to get free, while having this stallion's stare at her.....wait a minute. Lovebug tried the restraint's again, only for them to not budge.

Lovebug looked at them innocently, as she spoke. "Tell me, how long have the two of you been on this job?" Lovebug asked, as one of the guard's rubbed his head, awkwardly speaking.

"A long time....why?" He asked, as Lovebug Sektiss couldn't help, but hide an evil grin on her face.

"Mmmm....then let's see how pent up, you stud's really are" Lovebug cooed seductively, as she let her toe's reach out, and began rubbing them against their rod's. The sea pony stallion's groaned, as she began giving them multiple foot job's, as the two panted, and groaned from her ministration's, getting hard. The stallion's finally came, having been unable to have a sweet release in such a long time. Lovebug smiled, as she looked at them with a predatory gaze. "Mmmmm....my, my, such naughty boy's you are....if you want, you can both untie me, and we can have some fun" Lovebug Sektiss cooed softly, as the stallion's undid her bind's, and began taking off their clothes.

Lovebug didn't want to leave just yet, she also wanted to get something out of this. Even though she stayed most of the time on the ship during the Poseidon's Breath mission, it had been a rather long time since she had some personal fun of her own. Lovebug began taking off her clothes, letting her C-cup breast's become exposed to the warm air, her sea green nipples becoming erect. She grabbed one of the sea ponies shaft, and took the entire thing into her mouth. The other sea pony went behind her, grabbing her thicc ass cheek's, and let his shaft rub against her winking slit.

A muffled moan escaped Lovebug's lip's, as she continued bobbing her head up, and down the other sea ponies shaft. The other sea pony groaned, as the other sea pony penetrated the mare's pussy, her inner wall's clamping down on his shaft. Lovebug was adoring every second of this, as he began fucking her at a rough pace, while she let the other sea pony face fuck her. The sea ponies groan's exited throughout the room's, as Lovebug Sektiss's muffled moan's also reached a higher peak. Both of them finally came with the Changeling, her mouth, and womb were filled to the brink with their seed's, as her nectar gushed out of her pussy.

Both of them pulled out, drenching her in their cum, as she kept the sea pony in front of her rock hard. "Lie down" She cooed softly, as the sea pony acknowledged her request. She approached the sea pony again, and rubbed her soft fold's against his hardened shaft, before impaling herself on it. "AAAAHHHH YEAAAAHHH.....THAT'S THE SPOT!!!!!!!" She moaned loudly, feeling her warm wall's clenching around his big rod. She turned to the other sea pony who was also rock hard from seeing what transpired in front of him, while love bug spread her ass cheek's, letting him see her anus. "YOU....COME HERE, AND FUCK MY ASS!!!!!!!"

She shouted, as he nodded, going over, and penetrating her asshole. Lovebug moaned again, as both of them fucked her with double penetration, the Changeling continuing to moan in ecstasy. Lovebug was still enjoying this, and even loved getting de-stressed by these sea ponies, as her lewd, hot moan's began echoing throughout the dungeon. "AAAAHHH, AAAAHH YEEEAAAHH......FUUUUUCCCKKKKK!!!!!!!!" Lovebug Sektiss screamed, as she climaxed again, feeling both of their seed's flooding her womb, and her asshole, as she came down from her second powerful orgasm.

The sea ponies got near each other, panting from their wild way with Lovebug, after one of them pulled out her anus. Lovebug let the other one stay inside her, even though his shaft had already deflated. She romantically put her hand's on one of the sea ponies cheek's, as both of them gave her a lewd smile. They were her's, as Lovebug looked at them with a smile. She kept her hand's on the sea ponies cheek's, as her behaviour changed. Instead of shaking, her body now stood completely still, her wing's that were buzzing with excitement, were now completely frozen. Her eyes remained beautiful, yet they had a slight sense of unease to them.

Her wing's then raised just slighty, and eerily, as she stared at them. Immiedietly her eyes turned a blank terrifying green, her jaw opening, revealing her Changeling snake like teeth. She no longer had a forked tongue, but a tongue with a sinister claw inside it. She let out an animalistic zombified roar, as she injected her tongue into the first sea pony's neck. He screamed in agony, as all of his body was sucked of his life force, his body turning pale, and wrinkly before becoming a skeleton. The other sea pony tried to get away, but Lovebug Sektiss caught him, and kissed him instead.

This kiss was acidic, and the second sea pony, melted in a few second's his body becoming nothing, but a puddle of green melted flesh. Lovebug Sektiss smiled, as she got off of where the sea pony's shaft was, after her attack, while love fully drained from their bodies, having a small feast to re-energize herself. Lovebug got herself cleaned up, and dressed, letting her face resort back to normal. She turned to the two sea pony skeleton's, and smiled. "I guess I can learn a thing, or two from these Sharklantean's" She grinned before finding the dungeon door, using her Changeling magic to bust out. She had suprised two sleeping guard's, and she took them down almost instantly.

She grabbed one of their electricity rifle's, and decided to keep it, while battling many of the other sea pony guard's that attempted to stop her, but this time she wasn't caught off guard, and managed to stop them, and escape. Along the way she had found the metal Tomahawk they had stolen from her, and reclaimed it, as she smiled. "Alright, now it's time I find my friend's" She chuckled, as she began scouring the inner secret place for where her friend's were being held.

*****
Lovebug Sektiss stood there with the Sharklantean's she had picked up, before coming in with an electric gun, and tomahawk in hand, ready for battle. "Sorry I was a little late, but are all of you ready to bust out of this joint?" Lovebug Sektiss asked, as Lotus Moon got up, and smiled.

"Sure thing, and we are taking these Sharklantean's with us" Lotus told her, motioning toward's the Helicoptron, Great Hammerhead, and A.T.O.M.I.C. Ramble looked at them all furiously, as he roared using the huge microphone he had.

"SECURITY.....GET UP HERE, AND CONTAIN ALL OF THEM, SET TO KILL!!!!!!!" He shouted, only for him to hear screaming on the other end, and lot's of growling before hearing the last of his security being ripped apart by.....something.

"I know the only way out.....FOLLOW ME, LET'S GO!!!!!!!!" Lovebug Sektiss, as all of them began following the Changeling. Ramble let out a roar, as he pursued after them, with an electrical pistol in hand, and the crowd themselves, who were a bunch of thug's like Ramble, helping with their pursuit's. It was a mad dash of a gun battle, as all of them were firing their pistol's all over the place, as Saphirus panted before speaking.

"Lovebug.....we should turn, and fight these guy's otherwise they could kill us" He told her, as Lovebug shook her head.

"NO TIME.....WE NEED TO LEAVE NOW, IN ORDER TO GET A DISTRACTION.....I LET SOMETHING IN!!!!!!!!" She shouted back, as they had turned 4 corridors with the huge party of sea ponies, firing behind them.

"What did you let loose in this place?" Saphirus asked, as when they turned a corridor they got their answer rather quickly. The sea ponies turned the corner, all of them readying to fire their weapon's, as Ramble continued to pursue after them. The sea ponies were then bitten, and attacked, by a horde of the Infected Sharklantean's that began biting, and devouring them to spread their plague, and being left at their mercy. All of them continued near the exit, as Ramble was almost on them, ready to kill them. All of them managed to dodge, and get over a horde of Infected Sharklantean's, while exiting the building, heading to their ship, as fast as possible.

Ramble on the other hand.....was not so lucky, the minute he exited the building, the horde pinned him to the wall, and began devouring him. He tried to claw, and fight his way out, but only screamed in agony, feeling his stomach being ripped open, his left arm, being ripped off, and then his entire leg's devoured instantly. The Infected Sharklantean's were roaring like huge piranhas, their numbers making it easy to tear flesh from bone in a matter of second's. Ramble was soon zombified to the Infection, and so was everyone else who was inside the building.

All four of them, plus the Helicoptron, Great Hammerhead, and A.T.O.M.I.C. were able to depart from the place after re-plenishing their supplies that Lovebug grabbed on their way out. They all managed to sail back to Poseidon's Breath with their newest company with them.

Chapter 24: The Elemental Civilization....of W.A.S.P.

The Golden beautiful pirate ship that came from Poseidon's Breath was once again, sailing among the sea's with almost the entire crew intact. Saphirus had managed to get the information of each of the new Sharklantean's written down, and sketched, while Creature had told him he may conclude the Elemental Clan's section of Sharklantean's.....if they had found the Clan's city. They did know where it was, but had returned the Sharklanteam's they brought on their last trip to Poseidon's Breath, and brough a few on this next journey. Creature, Mega, A.T.O.M.I.C, and Tigerclaw, were going on this trip after seeing a message in the translation saying those specific species (Even thought it was technically 2 Megalodon's, and not a Nuclear one) were needed for the Next Generation project.

Rainbow Dash, and Lovebug Sektiss were also coming along on this trip, because they were wandering to know more about the Ancient civilization. Rainbow Dash even dragged Nikaku along with them for some of his Ancient guidance. The Ancient city of the Elemental Clan was heard to be near the Stormcloud bay, near an Island west of Poseidon's Breath. All of them continued on this journey, as the ship sailed for about a few hour's until it came upon a futuristic bay of the area that they were looking for. They all got off onto the metal dock's, as all of them looked around for a few minutes, until Lotus Moon spoke.

"Hey.....there's almost nobody in sight....is this the civilization of the Elemental Clan?" Lotus Moon asked, as Creature studied the entire bay.

"No, this is half of the bay that is used by the Elemental Clan, and is used by most of them, but.....this place shouldn't be abandoned, the Infection hasn't even spread to this part yet besides the other Oceanic Colonies, and Sharklantean Clan civilization's" Creature explained, as Saphirus sighed.

"Let's take a look around this place" He smiled, as A.T.O.M.I.C., Tigerclaw, and Mega got off the boat along with him.

"We're coming with you three, after all I don't know why it has to be us four, but Veun wouldn't leave us a coded message in that map book, unless it was for good reason" Tigerclaw growled, as A.T.O.M.I.C, and Mega nodded.

"Indeed, let's continue" He agreed, as all of them began traversing through the area. The place was full of surprises, seeming very calm....and quite. All of them came across something that wasn't a good sign...this being dried blood stain's on many of the wall's, and futuristic metal.

"That's defiently not a good sign" Lotus Moon shivered, as both she, and the other's were in a battle stance, while inching forward to scope out the area's. The further they went, they found multiple Sharklantean dead bodies spread all over the place, all of them being killed brutally. Not only was this concering, but near some of these bodies were wrecked robot's, that took the exact shape of Sharklantean's, as Saphirus stared at it with extreme interest.

"Who made these robot's, and who sent them to attack the Elemental Clan?" Saphirus asked, as he studied the wrecked robot in search for clues. A.T.O.M.I.C. bent down in front of Creature, as he began to study each futuristic aspect of the robotic Sharklantean before recognizing a familiar brand, embedded onto a piece of one of the robot's body.

"These seem to be security bot's in the form of Sharklantean's. It look's like they were created by the Elemental Clan, and by the look's of the design I think they are used to repel the Infected from this place." A.T.O.M.I.C. explained, as Lotus Moon peered over their shoulder's with extreme interest.

"So....your saying that these Robo Sharklantean's malfunctioned, and turned against all of them?" Lotus Moon asked, as Creature also began studying another robot body.

"Not exactly.....Hey Saphirus, come over here, and check this circuitry" Creature called out, as the male unicorn walked over, and bent down to the ground, studying the futuristic technology, and somehow was able to learn more about it, discovering what Creature had pointed out.

"It seem's these Robo Sharklantean's have confused the Elemental Sea Ponies, and Infected Sharklantean's, as one enemy, and have been constantly trying to destroy both.....it's targeting system must have gotten screwed up, and only mark's everything as Infected" Saphirus explained, as Lotus smiled.

"I always loved how smart you are Saphy" Lotus cooed, flirtatiously making Saphirus blushed from her comment with a smile on his face.

"T-Thank's L-Lotus" He replied shyly, as Creature, and A.T.O.M.I.C. stood up to their towering height's, as Creature spoke.

"Let's move" He told them, as they all continued forward, until they came across 10 charging station's, all filled with Robo Sharklantean's. They all tried sneak past the charging station's, until one of the 9 foot tall Robo Sharklantean's jerked to life grabbing Lotus Moon's arm.

"HEY.....LET ME GO!!!!!!!" She shouted, as the Robo Sharklantean only spoke one sentence.

"YOU HAVE VIOLATED THE PRIME DIRECTIVE.....DIE!" It screeched, as it's left arm raised up, it's cannon charging.
Saphirus responded instantly, as he used all of his strength, bashing his fist into the robot's face, destroying it instantly, as it shut down.

"Ouch.....man that's some tough metal" He growled, as he shook his fist from the punch he gave, as Lotus Moon smiled.

"You'll be okay Saphy, thank's for the save" Lotus Moon winked, as Saphirus was about to reply before all of the other Robo Sharklantean's re-activated themselves, and began to walk at them almost zombie like, repeating the same sentence.

"YOU HAVE VIOLATED THE PRIME DIRECTIVE...DIE, YOU HAVE VIOLATED THE PRIME DIRECTIVE...DIE, YOU HAVE VIOLATED THE PRIME DIRECTIVE...DIE, YOU HAVE VIOLATED THE PRIME DIRECTIVE...DIE, YOU HAVE VIOLATED THE PRIME DIRECTIVE...DIE, YOU HAVE VIOLATED THE PRIME DIRECTIVE...DIE." All of them continued to repeat the same sentence, as the group began bashing the huge amount of Robo Sharklantean's that were slowly starting to grow in number's. Their Cannon's were only making it extra tough, as when they were fired the weapon, it did a number on the environment around them.

The battle seem to continue to endure, as all of them bashed, and shredded multiple Robo Sharklatean's before finding a sealed door in front of them, as Creature pointed to it. "THERE, LET'S GET THROUGH THAT, AND BLOCK THEM OFF!!!!!!" Creature shouted, as Mega, and A.T.O.M.I.C. used their huge body strength to clear a path, that allowed Saphirus to charge through, and get to the door control's. Both he, and Creature worked on it, while Lotus, and the other 3 Sharklantean's fought of the robot's with full strength.

"SAPHY GET THE DOOR OPEN!!!!!!" Lotus Moon shouted, as her metal bo-staff bashed into many of the Sharklantean's while dodging the blast's from their Cannon's.

"Fascinating.....this technology is INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!" Saphirus shouted, while working on it, before Tigerclaw gave him an angry glare.

"HOW WOULD LIKE TO ADMIRE A SHOTGUN BEING PULLED FROM MY ASS....JUST OPEN THE FUCKING DOOR ALREADY!!!!!!!' Tigerclaw shouted, as Saphirus, and Creature finally figured out the control's, opening the door. All of them raced inside, before Creature shut it, hearing a big loud click from the door.

"Interesting....the door has been re-programmed to keep something out" Creature realized, as Saphirus spoke.

"The only way they would do that is if......" He realized, as all or them looked around, and found a staircase leading to a high part of a roof. "Creature, you don't think that...they're waiting for us?" Saphirus asked, as Creature looked at him, and spoke.

"The only way that we are going to find out is if we journey up these stair's, come on...let's go" Creature urged them, as they all began journeying up the huge amount of stairs which led them to an empty roof with nothing, but the view for mile's.

"There's nothing up here....come on, WHERE IS THE ELEMENTAL CLAN!?!?!?!?" A.T.O.M.I.C. roared angrily, as Lotus Moon looked up, and spotted something that made her almost speechless.

"Um.....WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!?!?!?!?!?" Lotus Moon shouted, pointing to a part of the sky, miles away that held the biggest, fattest, F5 Torndaoes that were circling a huge area, while also looking like they were sucking, and generating water.

"Of course.....a Tornado field....that must be where they are hiding, a Tornado Field is the perfect place to hide a Weather Alteration's System's Platform, or W.A.S.P. as it's called, that must be where the rest of the Elemental Clan is" Creature explained, as Lotus Moon turned to them with curiosity.

"But....how is there a Torndao Field there?" Lotus Moon asked, as A.T.O.M.I.C. spoke.

"My guess is that place was the original temple of a mythological Sharklatean that the Goddesses discovered.....the Tornado Sharklantean." A.T.O.M.I.C. explained, as Saphirus studied the Tornado field.

"But how are we suppose to navigate the storm from here?" Saphirus asked, as a voice spoke up from behind all of them.

"Perhap's I cam be of assistance" The voice said calmly, as Lotus Moon turned around, and shrieked in suprise seeing an unknown species of Sharklantean. This once seemed to be wearing samurai like clothing, orange wristpad's, and had very curled razor sharp claw's, while his lower body was submerged in a very small golden yellow tornado that were created from his glowing, golden yellow oceanic hieroglyphic's that coated his body.

"Well what do you know....a Tornado Sharklantean" A.T.O.M.I.C. smiled, as he explained the species of Sharklantean to Saphirus who helped calm down his startled marefriend.

The Tornado Sharklantean is a powerful one of the Elemental Clan. The hieroglyphic's on this Sharklantean's body allow it to create tornadoes, anywhere in the ocean. This Sharklantean is almost never seen, unless one is a member of the Elemental Clan. It alway's lives in Tornado Field's and is the only Sharklantean in existence able to withstand being in tornadoes, let alone survive them (not counting W.A.S.P.S) This Sharklantean has a diet that no other being eat's.....tornadoes, using them to fuel it's power's, and battle capabilities. With Tornado field's never calming down it stay's with it's unlimited food supply, and with some assistance it cam even create it's own Tornado Field if needed to survive.

Creature explained, as Saphirus just stared at the Sharklantean with suprise before speaking. "With all of these species of Sharklantean's becoming more insane, I'm starting to question my whole existence" Saphirus said deeply, as he made sure to note this down when they would all get back to the ship.

"Why exactly do you want to help us?" Lotus Moon asked, as it was one of the many Sharklantean's beside's A.T.O.M.I.C, and Creature that actually wasn't in survival mode to speak to.

"Techinally the Goddesses have been waiting for you for a very long time, we installed a hidden camera near the outside door you all escaped into when you approached the roof. Although many Infected Sharklantean's have never reached this camera, despite multiple attempt's, our camera's spotted you. Some of the Sharklantean's in our W.A.S.P. recongizned who you were after our old friend, the Acient Megalodon guided you too us, and I'm here to help you all get on board the W.A.S.P." The Tornado Sharklantean explained, as Saphirus spoke up.

"How do you plan for us to get there?" Saphirus asked, as he quickly dove down the huge skyscraper like docking bay, before coming up with a huge cannon, and adjusting it at a certain angle.

"Just climb in the barrel, and this cannon will fire you to the W.A.S.P., and let most of you traverse through there, I will have to transport the Sharklantean's manually, but you two will get to have some fun....see you both there" The Tornado Sharklantean smiled, before engulfing Creature, Tigerclaw, A.T.O.M.I.C., and Mega in four mini golden tornadoes, as he launched them, and guided them into the sky, while flying with them. Lotus Moon looked at the cannon, and then back at Saphirus, already being hesitant.

"Is this such a good idea Saphy?" Lotus Moon asked, as he looked at the Tornado field, and sighed.

"It's better than nothing....here if it help's I'll go first" He assured her, getting inside the cannon. The cannon turned on, and had a timer that began to countdown. 3.....2.....1.... Saphirus was that launched miles away into the Tornado field, disappearing from Lotus Moon's view. She slowly got herself into the cannon, being treated by the same countdown timer before being launched into the Tornado field. "AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!" She screamed, as she flew passed the huge tornadoes, as their vortexes flung her around, and kept her afloat, and alive before throwing her into one huge, golden tornado.

Lotus Moon was launched higher into the air, as she landed on a huge metal continent that had an amazing view. Saphirus was next to her, staring at the huge city of cloud's, as he sighed. "Wow.....this is amazing" He smiled, as both of them caught up with the other Sharklantean's, and the Tornado Sharklantean.

"Come this way my friend's....the Goddesses wish to see you" The Tornado Sharklantean spoke, as all of them continued down the interesting path, while looking at the system of the place, and the many building's that were on this metallic structure. They all arrived at a huge temple, that looked old, and ancient, as another unknown species of Sharklantean sat at the temple entrance.

"You all came" The Sharklantean spoke, as Saphirus stared at the interesting Sharklantean species who was parked on a sitting rock waiting for them to arrive

"What species are you?" Saphirus asked, as the purple Sharklantean stared at him, and replied.

"I was the last knew species of Sharklantean to be created before the Infection hit...I am a Laser Sharklantean" The Sharklantean spoke, going into detail's about this new species.
The Laser Sharklantean is a very similar to the Sand Sharklantean, except it's completely purple, and very fluid in the water. What's most destructive, and what earned it's name is that this Sharklantean can shoot a constant laser beam from it's eyes to fry, and destroy it's prey.

The Sharklantean explained, before another species of Sharklantean appeared, as Saphirus studied it's species designation. "Let me guess you are a Sand Sharklantean?" He asked, as the Sand Sharklantean nodded, going into detail about his species.

The Sand Sharklantean is a very peculiar Sharklantean that can survive on water, and on land for long period's of time. The Sand Sharklantean also can dig into sand, eating hermit crab's, baby turtles, and even use to eat any creature that would be on the beach sometimes. They mostly stick to water to eat Magic Seal, and snack on sand based creature's if they are still a little hungry after their meal.

The Sand Sharklantean explained, as Saphirus noted that for later. "Come....the Goddesses of the Ancient Clan, and Elemental Clan await you all" The Tornado Sharklantean told them, as all three Sharklantean's took them inside, leading them into the huge temple that seemed to be a huge part of the W.A.S.P.

"Well, let's see what this Next Generation Project is about" Lotus Moon spoke, with curiosity, as she began to journey inside with the other's. All of them came across to Celestial being's that looked of Equestrian Nature, but something they had never seen them before. The first female Creature looked rather sexy, her beautiful black skin making her beauty stand out more, as her appearance looked Egyptian like in nature, while she wore a rather skimpy, orange bikini, as the first Goddess greeted them.

"Hello adventurer's we have been awaiting your presence for sometime....especially you 4 Sharklantean's.....I am Nubia, the Goddess of the Elemental Clan"

The other Goddess stood up with a tribal fluid to her motion's, dancing gracefully like a belly dancer. Her species being was rather unclear, while having a deep indigo blue skin. She seemed to give them all a pleasuring greeting, while introducing herself. "I must say the Sharklantean's that Creature has gathered, are very interesting....I am Orienta of the Ancient Clan"

Lotus Moon bowed politely, as she introduced herself, and Saphirus. They both were glad to see that they were from the Mainland to help, as both Goddesses began circling the four Sharklantean's.

Nubia circled Creature sensually, as she began to feel the Great White Sharklantean's body, and smiled. "Ah....one of the Perfect part's for the Next Predator Clan, such a specimen that Veun picked out, strong, brave, and heroic.....you are just perfect" Nubia cooed, as Orienta was already circling Tigerclaw the exact same way, also feeling his body.

"Hmmm, such an interesting Sharklantean with such an attitude, this Infection has really brought out a tiger in you.....a perfect choice" Orienta cooed, as Tigerclaw let out a grunt, before crossing his arm's, clearly annoyed.
The two Goddesses journeyed over to Mega, and A.T.O.M.I.C., as they were all fascinated by what they saw.

"Amazing, do different types of Megalodon's" Orienta replied, as she began to feel Mega's body who blushed a bit, while Nubia explored A.T.O.M.I.C's body. "Such perfection....you seem to have been a business men with your own regard, a specimen of the Ancient Clan like you will work just fine" Orienta cooed softly.

"Ooh the other project will adore you just fine....4 arm's, and not to mention tiger like in some way.....I like it" Nubia purred sensually, as the two mare's finished, allowing Lotus Moon gave the two Goddesses a blank stare.

"I don't think they came all this way for you two to fuck them" Lotus groaned, as Nubia giggled.

"Oh trust me, that's not it....the Next Generation Project is going to be brought out, by our three Sharklantean's, while we return to the heaven's. After you all awaken them, you will all appear back on your vessel with the Next Generation Project with these three Sharklantean species. After that, you must head to find the Dark Clan for the cure of the Infection. We thank you for being able to make it, all of you play a key role in the future of all Sharklantean race's, and the future of the Oceanic Colonies.....GOOD LUCK!!!!!" The Goddesses shouted in unison, as bright golden ray's of light came from even higher in the sky, as their remaining corpses collapsed, and turned to dust.

The three Sharklantean's came out with 4 futuristic cryostasis pod's that each held a symbol of each of the Four Clan's. The Predator Clan, The Ancient Clan, The Dark Clan, and Elemental Clan. All of them were soon teleported out of the W.A.S.P., and back onto their ship, suprising Rainbow Dash, and Nikaku.

"AAAHHHH!!!!!!" Rainbow Dash shrieked, before calming herself down, and spoke. "Oh, so let me guess you managed to secure the Next Generation Project, and a few new species of Sharklantean's....good they'll like their new home on Poseidon's Breath" Rainbow Dash explained, as Nikaku looked at the cryostasis pod's with extreme interest.

"Huh what's exactly in those pod's?" Ripjaw asked, as Creature spoke.

"I have a feeling were about to find out if we match ourselves up with the one's by symbol" Creature explained, as Tigerclaw turned to him, and spoke.

"Since you spoke to Veun, I'll let you get the Predator Clan one, I'll get the one from the Dark Clan" Tigerclaw told him, as Creature agreed. All four Sharklantean's aligned themselves with the Cryostasis pod's each of them ready to press the button on the side to open them.

"Here goes nothing" Creature explained, as they each clicked the button on the four pod's. The pod's opened, and the fog hissed onto the floor, before 4 beautiful figures exited out of the pod's, staring directly at them. "U-Unbelievable......" Creature said in awe, all of them amazed of the 4 beautiful species that came out of the Cryostasis pod's.

Chapter 25: Oceanic Beauties (Clop)

The four species that emerged from Cryostasis were four female Sharklantean's. All of them were both stunning, and amazing. The one of the Predator Clan stasis pod shook her head, from being in stasis for so long after being created by the Goddesses, waiting to wake up to see the handsome Sharklantean in front of her. She noticed this, as the female Great White Sharklantean stared at Creature. "Oh wow.....your everything I've ever dreamed, and more.....may you tell me your name?" She cooed in a soft voice, as Creature suddenly had a nervous stutter with his response.

"Uh, Uh, Uh....I'm Creature....w-what's your name?" He asked, as the female Sharklantean giggled, approaching him with a sway in her hip's, pressing her body against his. Creature felt the weight of her D-cup breast's press against his body, as the gorgeous female Sharklantean uttered her name.

"I'm Akasha" She cooed softly with a small shyness to her voice, as he stared at her beautiful, blonde, oceanic mane.
Creature wasn't the only one to have a similar reaction to this, as a another female Sharklantean approached Mega with a very lustful look in her eye's. She pressed her E-cup Breast's, against him, being a female Megalodon herself.

"Well hello their big boy, you sure are a sexy sight to wake up to....what's your name pup?" The female Megalodon cooed softly, as Mega was still shocked, but seemed to be rather into it, as a smile formed on his face.

"Well hey there beautiful, I am Mega a very efficient business Sharklantean....who may you be?" Mega growled, as the female Sharklantean melted into his embrace with a growl in her voice.

"Call me Kristy" She snarled playfully, as Mega looked at her pristened pink mane.
Tigerclaw was more suprised than the other two, as he stared at the beautiful female Sharklantean before him, and spoke.

"U-Unbelievable.....a female, Tiger Sharklantean" Tigerclaw said in awe, as the female Tiger Sharklantean looked at him with an amazed smile.

"Wow.....I've alway's wanted to see a male of my species" She gasped as Tigerclaw studied her body, most of her mane, and body being albino white mixed with an orange Tigerclaw skin.

"I'm Tigerclaw" Tigerclaw introduced, as Levi's had a predatory look in her eyes, and stepped closer to him with a slow stride.

"Such a predatory name.....I'm Levi" She growled.
A.T.O.M.I.C. was just as suprised, as a twin of Kristy stepped out of the Elemenetal stasis. Not only did she have a rare EE-cup breast size, but she also had a very thicc body, as she sauntered over to him with a predatory smile, and a soft purr.

"Wow....a very interesting Megalodon....mmmm, but those four arm's are a plus, and what is your name?" The female Megalodon asked, as A.T.O.M.I.C. gulped.

"I'm A.T.O.M.I.C." He told her, as the female Sharklantean had a mischievous smile on her face.

"Such a firey name....I like it....my name is Veria" She cooed softly, while flinging her beautiful, blueish purple mane through the air.
Lotus Moon, and Saphirus were also taken back by this, as well as Rainbow Dash, and Nikaku. Out of those four, Saphirus was the first to break the silence.

"This.....changes......everything" He spoke, going below deck to get his book, and even record more Sharklantean, and Goddess information.

*****
It was rather easy to understand, why the Next Generation Project were female Sharklantean's, as many had the idea of what was mostly going to first take place on the way back. The Tornado Sharklantean was steering the Golden Ship around because he had come across a few of the old wooden pirate ship's back in the day, and even studied on how to man one. The four female Sharklantean's got along with Creature, Mega, Tigerclaw, and A.T.O.M.I.C. very well. All of them had talked a lot, and new what they needed to do in order to save the future Sharklantean race.

Creature was in his own quarter's with the beautiful Akasha, as both of them sat on the bed, as the female Sharklantean smiled. "To see the last male of our species that will someday hold the future of our spawn, is amazing.....and to think it will start with us" Akasha cooed, as Creature gazed at the beautiful female Sharklantean, and spoke.

"I know....when I thought of the Next Generation Project would be the future of the Sharklantean race....I never expected this.....but I am willing to go through with it" Creature told her, as Akasha crawled over him, and looked him in the eye.

"I want to know how blissful a kiss from you will be" Akasha asked, as both of their lip's met, as the two kissed passionetly. For both of them the kiss was amazing, and they each loved every minute of it. Their kiss became more lustful, as both of their long tongues entered their mouth's, the two of them muffledly moaning in unison. Creature couldn't help it, as he felt his shaft spring from it's hidden pocket. Akasha squeaked, and seperated from the kiss, as she at his rod. "So big.....and so perfect" She growled, as the nipples of her breast's came out of their pocket's, while her aroused shark pussy was exposed to Creature.

"Your beautiful" Creature whispered, as Akasha looked at him, the urge to mate with the only male of her species.

"Bend me over on the bed, and fuck me" She whispered softly, as Creature flipped her into a doggystyle position, his shaft teasing her fold's "Put it in....make life" She whispered, as Creature slammed his rod deep into her pussy with a wet shlick, both of them moaning in unison. "OOOHHH YEEEESSSS, YOUR THE PERFECT FIT!!!!!!!" Akasha moaned loudly, feeling her inner wall's clamping down on the oceanic shaft that filled her. Creature could feel the pleasure coursing through her body. She felt so tight....so needy. Creature felt his eyes glow pink, as the same went for Akasha. Creature leaned down, letting his skin press against her's, and began fucking her with raw, primal instinct.

"UUUUHHH....AAAAHHH, AAAAHHH YEAAAHHH, AAAAHHH RIGHT THERE, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AAAAAAHHHHH" Akasha moaned, as he kept fucking her. Creature began groping, and playing with her breast's sending a new sensation through her body. "YEEESSSSS, PLAY WITH THEM.....THEY'RE YOUR'S....AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AAAAAAHHHH YEEAAAH....I'M NOT GONNA LAST, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AAAAAAHHHHHNNNN!!!!!!" Akasha roared, along with Creature, as both of them climaxed. Akasha felt her nectar, squirt from her pussy, her roar turning into a blissful moan, as oceanic seed erupted inside her womb.

The smell of Sharklantean sex filled the air, and it drove both of them to mate more. Akasha wanted him to dominate her to be nothing, but his sex slave, and Creature wanted her. Akasha let him pull out, quickly getting in a missionary position, as his Sharklantean shaft penetrated her pussy. "UUUUHHHNNNN!!!!!!" Akasha moaned, as she wrapped her hind leg's around Creature's waist, letting their bodies touch. Both of them began fucking like animal's, Creature plowing into her Sharklantean pussy, her moan's echoing throughout the room. "AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, DON'T STOP, DON'T STOP......OH, OH, OH, OH, OOOOHHH....OOOOHHH, AH, AH, AH, AH...."

Akasha could feel her climax getting close, and so did Creature. "AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, YEEEEESSS, I'M GONNA CUM.....AAAAAHHHHNNNN!!!!!!!" Akasha moaned, as both of them hit another climax. Akasha felt her body shake, her nectar staining his crotch, while more Sharklantean seed was ejaculated into her pussy. Both Sharklantean's panted, coming down from their orgasm, as Akasha let out a pleasure sigh. "More....I need more" She whispered, as Creature exited her, and had something else in mind. He got her into a spooning position, and thrusted his shaft back into her, making her moan loudly.

"AAAAAHHHH FUUUUUUUUCCCCKKKKK!!!!!!!!" Akasha moaned loudly, feeling his big, fat, rod deep into her womb. Akasha's eyes rolled to the back of her head, her tongue lolling out in ecstasy, as Creature began fucking her with animalistic instinct. "AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AAAAHHH, FUUUUUCCCKKK, DON'T STOP, DON'T STOP, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES.....AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH....I'M NOT GOING TO LAST.....OOOHHH YEEEESSS, MAKE ME CUM....MAKE ME YOUR'S....UUUUUHHHHNNNNN!!!!!!!" Akasha squealed, as Creature roared, their juices mixing together, as both of them came down from their final climax.

Both of them snuggled together, as Akasha let out another deep moan, feeling their mixed cum oozed out of her pussy. Akasha was comfortable, and even though she had been in stasis for quite sometime, she was given what she was promised. She really liked this Sharklantean, and she was glad to have her own mate, and would soon have her own place in the world...with Creature.

Kristy, and Mega were already into what they were about to do. The two had trouble trying to keeping their mating instinct's under control, but once they got into Mega's quarters both of them were already making out. Mega shut the door behind him, as he guided the female Sharklantean to the bed, both of them landing down. His hidden shaft was already out, and rock hard, as he could feel her nipples erect, and her fold's drenched in her juices. Both seperated for air, as Kristy spoke. "Please Mega.....I can't take it anymore....I need you to do me" Kristy moaned, as Mega pressed his body against her's, slowly penetrating her pussy.

"AAAHHHH YEEEAAAHHHH!!!!!!" Kristy moaned, as her inner wall's clamped down on his shaft. Mega couldn't help, but give one of her breast's a good squeeze, enlicting another moan from the female Sharklantean. "Give it to me" Kristy whispered, as Mega stared fucking her with primal instinct, the female Sharklantean writhing in bliss beneath him "UUUUHHH, UUUUUUHHHH, AAAAHHH YEAH THAT'S THE SPOT, UH, UH, UH, UH, UH, UH, UH, UH, UH, UH, UH, UH, UH, UH, AAAAAHHH, IT FEEL'S SO GOOD.....UH, UH, UH, UH, UH, UH, UH, AAAAHHH, AAAAHHH, AAAAAAAHHH.....D-DON'T STOP......OOOOHHH YEEEEAAHHHH!!!"

Kristy's moan's were mixed with Mega's growl's, as he continued pounding her pussy, both of them on the verge of their first climax. "AAAAHHHNN, AAAAHHH....I'M GONNA CUM, KNOCK ME UP... PLEASE....AAAAAHHHHNNNNN!!!!!!!" Kristy squealed, as her body quaked from her climax. Mega pumped ropes of his Sharklantean seed into her, while her nectar squirted out of her pussy, staining his crotch. After their powerful orgasm, Mega began fucking her harder, while Kristy only moaned louder. "OH FUCK, OH FUCK, OH FUCK, OH FUCK.....AAAAAHHH, AAAAHHH, AAAAHHH......OOOOHHHH, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK......UUUHHHNNNNN!!!!!"

Kristy screamed, as both of them climaxed again. Kristy moaned lewdly watching their mixed cum, ooze out of her pussy, while Mega panted, coming down from his orgasm. He layed down with the beautiful female Sharklantean, still inside her, as Kristy sighed. "Hah....that was such a good fuck....we need to do this more often" Kristy giggled, as she snuggled the Megalodon Sharklantean, both of them falling asleep.

Levi was very submissive toward Tigerclaw who made himself ease up around her. After both of them had gotten into Tigerclaw's quarter's, Tigerclaw couldn't keep his hand's off Levi. The female Sharklantean was enjoying his touch, many soft coo's, and moan's escaping her lip's, as he kissed her neck, and down to her stomach. Levi finally stopped him, and went over to the bed before bending over, exposing her naked slit to him. "I really want this....don't keep me waiting my big tiger" She cooed softly, as Tigerclaw got onto the bed, his huge shaft rubbing against her slick, wet fold's. "AAAAHHH....HAH....Tigerclaw, please...I want you so bad"

Levi moaned, the heat in her nether's driving her crazy with the urge to mate. Tigerclaw couldn't hold back, as he grabbed her ass cheek's, and let his thick rod penetrate her pussy. "OOOHHH YEEEAAAHH....THAT'S THE STUFF!!!!!!!" Levi moaned, feeling his huge shaft spreading her inner wall's open. Tigerclaw could only growl, as he began pounding into the female Sharklantean's pussy, earning moan's from her. "AAAAHH, AAAAHH, AAAHHH, AAAHH, AAAAHH, HUUAAHH, AAAAHHH, AAAAHHH, AAAAAHHH, AAAAHHH, AAAAAHH, AAAAHHH....R-RIGHT THERE....AAAAHHH, HAAAHH, AAAAHH, AAAAAAHHHHNNNN!!!!!!!!"

Levi moaned, the smell of sex filling the air, as Tigerclaw roared, his seed erupting inside her. Levi felt her own climax claiming her, as a deep moan escaped her lip's, her fem cum squirting out of her pussy. Both of them panted, coming down from their orgasm, as Tigerclaw pulled out of her, some of their mixed cum oozing out of Levi's pussy. The female Tiger Sharklantean rolled on her back with a huge bulge in her belly, as Tigerclaw let his cock penetrate her pussy, before snuggling the female Sharklantean beneath him. Levi could feel the warmth of her lover above her, a happy, blissful sigh escaping her lip's.

Levi was happy; being with Tigerclaw was beyond amazing, and this would help the survival of their race. Tigerclaw was sucking on Levi's breast's, as she sighed blissfully, bathing in the afterglow of sex, and the pleasure of her breast's being played with. Eventually......both of them fell asleep.

*****
A.T.O.M.I.C. was already making out with Veria, feeling all over her naked, thicc body. Both of them were getting wild, leaving kisses on specific part's of their body, as they guided each other to the bed. After they finally reached the bed, A.T.O.M.I.C. used his first two arm's to lift Veria's her right leg over his shoulder, allowing his big, throbbing shaft to penetrate her pussy. Immedietly his other pair of arm's dove, and gave her breast's a good squeeze earning a loud moan from the female Megalodon Sharklantean. "OOOOHHH FUUUCCCKKK!!!!!!!" Veria moaned, her body experiencing a pleasure she had never felt before.

A thunderous growl escaped A.T.O.M.I.C, as he began fucking her pussy with deep thrust's, as she moaned in unison with his growl's. "AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, FUCK YEAH....AAAAHHH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AAAAAHHHH DON'T STOP.....OH YES....AAAAHHH, I'M GONNA.....I'M GONNA.....OH FUCK, OOOOHH FUUUCCCKK, AAAAAAAAHHHHNNNNNN!!!!!!!" Veria screamed hitting her climax. She moaned deeply, feeling Sharklantean seed flood her womb, as her nectar squirted from her pussy. Both of them came down from their orgasm's, as Veria layed back.

A.T.O.M.I.C began to stop, as he gave her slow, hard thrust's...as Veria moaned blissfully. "AAAAAHHH....AAAAHHH.....AAAAHHH....AAAAAAHHH....AAAAHHH.....AAAAAHHH......AAAAAHH.....AAAAAHHH.....AAAAAHHH....AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AAAAAHHHHHNNNNN!!!!!!!!!" Veria moaned, hitting a second powerful climax, as A.T.O.M.I.C. climaxed with her, before both of them layed on the bed with a deep snuggle. "Haaahh....that was so good A.T.O.M.I.C.......thank you" Veris whispered, as A.T.O.M.I.C. let out a hum of approval before falling asleep with her.

"Haaah, Haaaah, haaaahh...." Rainbow Dash moaned, currently bent over in a doggystyle position on the bed. The idea of those female Sharklantean's mating lewdly with the male Sharklantean's had gotten Rainbow Dash worked up, and she wanted to relieve stress this way. She was out of her pant's, and black panties, her finger's pushing deep into her slit, until Nikaku popped out of nowhere, surprising her.

"What exactly is my Captain doing?" Nikaku asked with a sexual tone in his voice.

"EEEEEPPP!!!!!!" Rainbow Dash shrieked, as she turned to Nikaku with a look that was too priceless, her expression being one, as if she was caught with a vibrator.

"It's seem's my sexy Pegasaus forget what we discussed after we got settled on Poseidon's Breath.....you wanted me to catch you masterbating didn't you?" Nikaku asked, as Rainbow Dash gulped. On there night's after the adventure's of Poseidon's Breath he set some sex rules of her not allowing herself to masturbate.

"N-N-Nikaku....I can explain....." Rainbow Dash tried to speak, but Nikaku wasn't having any of it.

"Oh no, no, no, no, no.....I am afraid you need to be punished....STRIP NOW!!!!!" Nikaku roared, as Rainbow Dash blushed deeply, and began stripping, leaving her bare naked, and exposed to the Ninja Sharklantean.

"Good....now then....." Nikaku growled, as he pounced on Rainbow Dash getting her in a missionary positon, and thrusted his shaft deep into her womb, while pressing his entire body against her's, as Rainbow Dash threw her head back, and moaned loudly. "....This time, I'm going to make sure you are fucked so good you can't walk for week's" Nikaku growled, as he began fucking Rainbow Dash, slamming into her with every thrust.

"HAAAHH, HAAAAHH, HAAAAH.....NIKAAAKUUU, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, OOOOHHH, OOOOOHHH, OOOOOHHH FUUUUCCCKKK, AAAAAHHH, OH FUCK, OH FUCK, OH FUCK, OH FUCK.....AAAAHHH, AAAAHHH, AAAAHHH, I'M GONNA CUM, I'M GONNA CUM.....AAAAAAHHHHNNNN!!!!!!!" Rainbow Dash's moan's hit the highest peak's, as she climaxed hard, while Nikaku climaxed with her, pumping her full of his seed. Even after Rainbow Dash had her powerful orgasm, Nikkau continued fucking the mare with new primal stamina. Rainbow Dash's tongue lolled out of her mouth, and her eyes rolled to the back of her head.

Rainbow Dash came three time's, while Nikaku came again, more of his seed erupting deep within her, the bulge in her belly growing from each climax. Nikaku pulled out of her, as her body trembled with cum oozing out of her. Nikaku flipped her over, and pinned her to the bed doggystyle, while ramming his shaft deep into her womb. "AAAAAHHHNNNN!!!!!!!" Rainbow Dash moaned deeply, feeling his soft skin press against her, while deep inside her. He continued thrusting in, and out of her pussy reducing Rainbow Dash to a moaning mess, as she climaxed three more time's, while Nikkaku also spanked her ass, leaving her cheek's red.

Rainbow Dash was full with his cum, after he had his final climax. He pulled out of her, as she had a love drunk look on her face, while coming down from her climax. "Now my pet, lick your master clean" Nikaku growled, as Rainbow Dash went over, and licked him clean, while also giving him a small blowjob. She made sure to stop after his shaft was clean, as Nikaku snuggled next to her. "Have you learned your lesson?" Nikaku asked, as Rainbow Dash sighed blissfully.

"Yeah....that was so hot....I want you to be more dominant more often" Rainbow Dash cooed, as Nikaku only smiled before he closed his eye's, and fell asleep with her.

Chapter 26 The Thing (Gore)

On a huge ship that seemed to be floating for no reason, a small Laser Sharklantean began running for his life. He did not speak, nor did he have any vocalization. It was on a stolen ship of Ramble's that this took place, as the Laser Sharklantean was running down some of the ship's steel corrider's. Two species from the Dark Clan screeched to a halt at the end of the doorway, as one of them perked up, before turning to his other friend, who was also a Sharklantean speaking in a rather Ancient tone. "Soko ni arimasu, soreha-sen o hanarente wa ikemasen!!!!!" The Sharklantean growled, as while the other Dark Creature spoke usual English, he understood his friend perfectly.

"Sono haibu ga betsu no fune ni notta baai, sokode okatta no to onaji saigai ga koko de okorimasu" The other Sharklantean growled, as both of them charged at the Laser Sharklantean who finally came across a lifeboat. It scrambled to get itself off the ship, as one of the Dark Clan Sharklantean's let out a maniacal cackle before speeding ahead, along with his other friend. "DON'T LET IT GET AWAY!!!!!!!!" The other Sharklantean growled, as all of them charged forward, and entered the boat. The Laser Sharklantean turned into something it wasn't, as it fought them on many front's while in the boat with them.

The two Dark Clan Sharklantean's fought, while the stolen ship they left, sank to the bottom after an explosion.

Eventually their battle ruptured the boat, and left them adrift in the ocean itself.

*****
Trying to find the cure was even harder than previously thought. The golden pirate ship that Captain Rainbow Dash had piloted, along with the help of the other's being onboard. Lovebug Sektiss managed to have a lewd time with a nice sex toy, due to thinking of what all the Sharklantean's onboard were doing. After they had all rather woken up, unfortunately they came across a problem. The Tornado Sharklantean could not get a good view of his bearing's, because of what the weather had given. A fog had rolled in, giving all of them zero visibility....something they needed for them to continue on.

Lotus Moon, and Saphirus were looking out onto the fog, as Lotus clung to Saphirus for being, as close to him as possible from the eeriness of the fog. "I really don't like this Saphy....it feel's like this place is Silent Hill" Lotus shivered, as Saphirus shared a shudder.

"Your telling me my flower, really starting to hate this low visibility, but we'll get through this together" He told her, making Lotus feel safer, as the two shared a passionate kiss, before separating. Both of them continued looking beyond the horizon, until something came across Saphirus's mind, as he turned to Lotus Moon. "Hey Lotus....I've been thinking......after this adventure is over...maybe we should get married?" Saphirus asked, as Lotus Moon paused, thinking about it. She really did love Saphirus a lot, and this adventure had been both fun, and amazing for both of them. The Island of Poseidon's Breath seem to be more of a resort.

It would make a perfect place for a honeymoon, and not to mention that Ponyville was always an amazing place to be, and have. She turned to Saphirus with a proud smile, while shedding tear's of happiness, as she looked deeply into his eyes with a warm smile on her face. "I would be a very happy mare if we did that Saphy" Lotus Moon cooed, as she threw her arm's around his neck, locking with him in a sweet, long, passionate kiss before both of them seperated for much needed air.

"I'll try to keep this ship moving, but it's not like we were going to be able to see where we are going" Rainbow Dash spoke, as she began turning the wheel, until Lotus Moon, and Saphirus spotted something nearby.

"THERE'S THREE UNCONSCIOUS SHARKLANTEAN'S IN THE WATER!!!!!!!!" Lotus Moon shouted, getting the attention of Lovebug Sektiss, as well as Creature, and Akasha who had just woken up.

"SHARK OVERBOARD!!!!!!!" Creature thundered, causing them to use the rigging's to rescue the three unconscious Sharklantean's on the damaged boat. All of them managed to get the three Sharklantean's onboard, as Creature spoke. "Let's get them below deck to see if they are alive" Creature told them, as the other's nodded. They all took the three Sharklantean's inside, unaware that one of them had brought some company that snuck onboard. Akasha, and Creature brought the first Sharklantean to a good spot inside the ship, as the other Sharklantean's had stirred, their eyes opening for a minute before staying unconscious.

"Unbelievable, these Sharklantean's are from the Dark Clan" Nikaku realized, as Saphirus, and Lotus Moon struggled, stopping at the doorway, while Saphirus panted.

"W-What types.....of.....Sharklantean's......are.....these?" He asked, as Creature introduced him to the two Sharklantean species.

"The first one on the right is a Wobbegong" Creature spoke, ready to explain it's interest.
The Wobbegong is considered a devil in disguise, despite it's cute look, it's actually a horrifying one. It's jaw is slime like it, and can easily split wider than it's own skull in order to swallow many more Magi, Seal whole, before it's inner belly dissolves the seal, and let's the remaining magic flow through it's bloodstream. It's also one of the Sharklantean's that uses it's claw's for digging it's underwater burrow's, as home.

Creature explained, as Saphirus let out a huge grunt before speaking. "Normaly I'd shudder from creepiness, but I'm too busy trying to carry this guy....what's the other one?" Saphirus asked, as Creature looked at the other Sharklantean, and spoke.

"That is a Mako Sharklantean, a creepy one indeed" Creature spoke before explaining the Sharklantean's species.
The Mako Sharklantean is one of the most phsyoctic Sharklantean out of all the Sharklantean's. This Sharklantean likes to use it's claw's to rip, and tear it's prey into the tiniest of pieces in order to eat them. If that's not terrifying enough, it has been known to creat a tornado of it's own speed that shred's anything that get's inside if it's victim is too afraid to stay steady. This allow's it's prey to die in the most painful way possible, before the Sharklantean itself devour's it.

Creature explained, as Lotus Moon stopped helping Saphirus carry the third Sharklantean, and looked at Creature with a feared look. "WHY THE FUCK ARE WE KEEPING THAT MAKO SHARKLANTEAN.....ONBOARD, IF HE'S THAT PHSYCOTIC WHAT HAPPEN'S WHEN HE WAKES UP WITH JUST HIS INSTINCT!?!?!?!?!?" Lotus Moon shouted, as Creature smiled.

"Thankfully the Sharklantean is less phsycotic and more focused on it's survival when in instinct mode....outside that, it eat's the way it's phsycotic brain want's too" Creature explained, as Saphirus sighed. Both Lotus Moon, and Saphirus began bringing the limping Laser Sharklantean to set him down near a wall. Without warning, the sound of a bone being ripped off was heard, as a huge part of the Sharklantean's arm split off on it's own, it's skin morphing into a bright pink shark that grew it's own fin's, tail, eye's, and jaw. The Sharklantean let out an insect like screech, and attacked Lotus Moon.

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" Lotus Moon shrieked, as she began fighting off the bleeding fish that was so desperately trying to tear her face off, somehow swimming in the air, while it's jaw's kept try to eat her face. The Laser Sharklantean's eyes popped open, as it let out a bigger insect like screech, as it's face, and body split into many different pieces, blood spewing everywhere. Each of these pieces began forming very weird, and freaky looking bright pink shark's, as all of them began swimming in the air, trying to eat everything.

"WHAT THE FUCK, WHAT THE FUCK, WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!!!" Saphirus shouted, as he began to fight back against the many different shaped floating shark's that were swarming them like bee's. Creature, and Akasha began to fight all the many sized Shark's, as the other's were freaking out from the somewhat disordered look of these Shark's that brought a sense of un-easiness to all of them. The Sharklantean's had to use their claw's to kill the fat Shark's, as Saphirus, and Lotus used their magic to burn the tiny shark's. After killing almost all of them, one of the Shark's remained having two head's merged into one body, as Lotus Moon readied her magic.

"WHAT ARE YOH WAITING FOR LOTUS......TORCH IT!!!!!!!!!" Saphirus shouted, as the bright pink shark's body began to shake, and look like it was splitting open letting blood ooze all over the place, as a new pink shark was trying to crawl out through the middle of the two headed shark. Not waiting any longer, Lotus Moon lit the pink shark on fire, as it let out an agonizing screeh, burning in a magical fire that didn't ignite any parts of the wooden ship, as the two headed shark was completely cooked. The smell of decaying shark flesh was strong through the air, as many of them gagged, and coughed. "What the hell was that?"

Saphirus asked, as Creature groaned. "That.....was a very serious problem that is now onboard our ship.....H.I.V.E. Shark's" Creature spoke with a tone of fear in his voice, as Lotus Moon turned to Creature, not liking the expression on his face.

"What are Hive Shark's?" Lotus Moon asked, as Creature shivered.

"Something you never want to meet" Creature told them, as he explained to them this new threat.

H.I.V.E. Shark's are considered the parasite's of almost all Sharklantean's. These nasty little bugger's are the only non-anthro shark being's of all the ocean's, but that isn't really a good thing. H.I.V.E. Shark's are very similar to an Equstrian parasite known as Parasprites, but with many differences, while Parasprites are cute, H.I.V.E. Shark's are a mutated nightmare. H.I.V.E. Sharklantean's usually try to steal the food source of Sharklantean's, in order for them to survive. Like Parasprites they replicate rather quickly to make more swarm's of itself. A Parasprite replicates by spitting out it's counterpart, H.I.V.E. Shark's split their body open, allowing their replication to swim out of them. The worst thing that H.I.V.E. Shark's have that Parasprites do not is that they are able to easily mimic almost any species of Sharklantean, except mutated ones, Helicoptron's, Great Hammerhead's, and Smooth Hammerhead's.

Creature explained, as Lovebug Sektiss groaned. "THAT IS FUCKING PEFRECT....I HATE THE COLONIES.....FIRST IT WAS THE INFECTION, IT'S NEW FORM'S, AND IT'S SHARKLANTEAN'S, THEN IT WAS POSEIDON'S BREATH WITH SKELETON PIRATES, AND A KRAKEN....NOW IT'S H.I.V E. SHARK'S....FUCK THE OCEAN, AFTER THIS I AM NEVER SWIMMING IN THE OCEAN AGAIN!!!!!!!!" Lovebug shouted, as Lotus Moon let out a big sigh.

"I don't blame you at all Lovebug, I'm starting to dread today" Lotus Moon groaned, as Saphirus stayed on edge.

"How the hell can we tell who is a Sharklantean, and WHO ISN'T!?!?!?!?!?" Saphirus shouted with his weapon being pointed at Creature, and Akasha, as Creature spoke.

"Well, me, and Akasha have been with you all this time, and I can only think H.I.V.E. Shark's can only replicate male Sharklantean's which eliminates female Sharklantean's. A.T.O.M.I.C. is a mutated Megalodon Sharklantean so that eliminates him, and it can't replicate you ponies, and Lovebug because you are considered it's food source since there's no Magic Seal's on this boat" Creature explained, as Lotus breathed a sigh of relief.

"And since you've been here for quite sometime then that mean's we can easily narrow it down." Lotus Moon realized, as Creature sighed.

"I admit it's going to be tricky because of a Tornado Sharklantean, Laser Sharklantean, Mako Sharklantean, Wobbegong, Mega, and Nikaku are all on this ship with us. Those Sharklantean's are the only species of Sharklantean that H.I.V.E Shark's can mimic, but we need to find these thing's fast, and find everybody else....otherwise we're in trouble" Creature spoke, as Lotus Moon sighed.

"This is defiently terrifying" Saphirus shivered, drawing his weapon along with Lotus Moon, and Lovebug Sektiss being ready.

"We need to stick together, but also check the rest of the ship, but I don't even know where to begin" Creature grumbled, as Rainbow Dash spoke up, hearing the conversation, and joining them.

"Let's check my cabin, if I remember correctly Nikaku was meditating when I was first on deck, maybe we should track him down." Rainbow Dash suggested, as all of them began journeying above deck. They all ran above deck with the eerie fog still around their ship, as the Tornado Sharklantean was behind the wheel, until he saw the group on guard.

"Whoa chill, why are all of you so edgey?" The Sharklantean asked, as Creature spoke.

"We have H.I.V.E. shark's onboard, and my guess is with how much they were floating on the water there may be company" Creature warned, as the Tornado Sharklantran growled.

"I'm going to see if the other Sharklantean's are exactly where they need to be" The Tornado Sharklantean began, as Creature stopped him before speaking.

"One of the ponies should go with you just in case we got more to deal with" Creature explained, as Rainbow Dash stepped up.

"I'll go, come on....you, and I will both find Nikaku" Rainbow Dash motioned, as the Tornado Sharklantean nodded, following her. Creature, and the other's went a different direction's to search the lower deck's. Rainbow Dash, and the Tornado Sharklantean were on their way down, as Rainbow Dash did her best to look around for Nikaku. She finally came to the Captain's Quarter's, stopping to see Nikaku calmly meditating. "NIKAKU....TELL ME SOMETHING THAT YOU KNOW?" Rainbow Dash asked, as Nikaku stopped meditating, looking at her with a blank look.

"Hey.......Rainbow Dash......what.......are......you.....doing......here" He spoke, almost robotically. This caused her to be cautious to what she had seen earlier, and pulled out both of her pistol's, and aim it at him, until the Tornado Sharklantean spoke up.

"How long have you been meditating Nikaku?" The Tornado Sharklantean asked, as Nikaku stared at him, speaking robotically.

"Don't know.....about an hour.....or two.....why are you staring at me like that?" Nikaku asked, as the Tornado Sharklantean was dead silent, before speaking in it's own robotic voice, while also sounding irrelevant.

"No....it's probably nothing......we just came to see......if you were okay" The Tornado Sharklantean spoke, as Rainbow Dash slowly stepped to the side, keeping both her pistol's leveled, one pointing at one of both Sharklantean's.

"I'm really starting to hate these H.I.V.E. Shark's, I can't really tell who's who here" Rainbow Dash growled her hand's tightening on both triggers.

"H.I.V.E. SHARK'S!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!" Nikaku shouted, now completely on alert. A loud groan came from the Tornado Sharklantean, as above his jaw, his head, and top jaw began to split open making blood gush on the floor. His skin turned bright pink, as a very weirdly shaped H.I.V.E. Shark floated from what used to be a part of the Sharklantean's head grew a very tiny bottom jaw, while the top one was still that of a Sharklantean. Rainbow Dash quickly shot it many time's, killing the H.I.V.E. Shark rather quickly. The rest of the H.I.V.E Shark's molded together began to split into their correct counterpart bodies, as all of them began to swim around the air.

Nikaku closed his eyes for a second, as his symbol's glowed around his body before using his speed to take down every single H.I.V.E. Shark, easily gutting them, as blood, and dead H.I.V.E. Shark's littered the floor, as Rainbow Dash let out a loud, disgusted groan. "Ugh.....I hate these thing's" She shivered in disgust, as Nikaku got up quickly, going to check on Rainbow Dash.

"I know H.I.V.E. Shark's were onboard, I merely did all of that to get those little parasites to come out, lucky for them they did just that" Nikaku explained, as Rainbow Dash looked at him before speaking.

"HOW MANY ARE ON BOARD!?!?!?!?!?" Rainbow Dash shouted, as Nikaku motioned her to follow him while busting down the door of her quarter's, being on the highest of guard.

"There are only four hive formation's onboard, and two have been killed, but it may not just remain two at all. We need to find these last two....one will try to replicate enough Shark's to form a third H.I.V.E. to hide with." Nikaku explained, as Rainbow Dash cocked her gun, letting a spare bullet fall to the ground, readying for battle.

"Then let's find those thing's fast" Rainbow Dash snarled, as both of them began exploring below deck, as fast as possible.

*****
Creature, Akasha, Lotus Moon, and Saphirus all continued scoping out for more of the H.I.V.E. Shark's that were onboard the ship. Step by step they crept among the shadow's, as Akasha herself was also in a battle position, her figure giving her an elegant balance, while trying to see if any H.I.V.E. Shark's were lurking around. What appeared to be Mega, walked out of his quarter's with a tired expression on his face. "Oh....your up too? Creature.....what's with the hostility?" Mega asked, as Creature growled.

"We have H.I.V.E Shark's onboard there may be more of them around" Creature growled, as Mega immedietly snapped to attention getting in a guard form.

"That's not good.....we need to find more fast" Mega growled, as all of them began to start looking around, Mega looking to be in a hurry to find the other's.

"Mega where's Kristy?" Creature asked, as Mega shrugged.

"Don't know, when I woke up she was not next to me, so I don't know where she is" Mega said, as Akasha immediately came to a stop, causing Mega to stop, and made him turn to the female Sharklantean. "What?" Mega asked, as Akasha spoke.

"If you haven't seen in her when you just woke up, she would be here alongside you. After all the time today, you both slept together after yesterday. If she needed a favor from the other's she should have easily come back, and slept with her mate, and should have woken up with you, and should be standing next to you......unless......" Akasha thought outloud before charging full speed, and stabbing the Sharklantean's chest. Instead of hearing Mega's roar....multiple high pitched roar's echoed throughout the air, as two mouth's grew on it's chest, and tried to chomp down on Akasha's arm's, while oozing huge amount's of blood.

The H.I.V.E Shark's one again began splitting apart into their swarm form's this third one being different from the first, and the second. Akasha used her speed, and body size to quickly kick, and slash the middle head H.I.V.E. Shark to pieces, as Creature joined in, both of them hacking through the shark's. The last little bit's did their best's to continue replicating, to get more in numbers making blood gush everywhere. Lotus Moon was thankfully fast enough to use her magic to torch, and kill more of them. They all heard a loud groaning sound, as one of the shark's grew huge spider leg's, and eyes, now trying to waddle away from them.

"Your fucking kidding me" Saphirus groaned, as Lotus Moon fully torched the wounded H.I.V.E. Shark to death, being able to kill the thing with ease. All of them heard multiple footstep's, as Rainbow Dash came full on running with the other female Sharklantean's along with Mega, Kristy, A.T.O.M.I.C, Veria, Lexi, Tigerclaw, the Tornado Sharklantean, the Helicoptron, and the Great Hammerhead who was determined to kill the final H.I.V.E Shark's.

"Rainbow Dash your hear....did Tornado help you find anymore Shark's?" Creature asked, as Rainbow Dash spoke.

"Actually the Tornado Sharklantean who joined me were more H.I.V.E. Shark's, I found Tornado farther below deck, but everything else is still here, and these are all still everyone" Rainbow Dash explained, as Nikaku also helped fill them all in of how many H.I.V.E. shark's were onboard.

"So that only leaves's one Sharklantean that is still onboard this ship, the question is, who here is the H.I.V.E. Shark?" Creature asked, as all of the male Sharklantean's, looked at all of them with a threatening glare. All of this was interrupted, as the Mako, and Wobbegong all appeared in front of them, waking from being blacked out with their claw's ready.

"ALRIGHT.....STAY STILL UNTIL WE CAN TELL WHICH SHARKLANTEAN IS WHICH!!!!!!!!!" The Mako roared, as Creature tried to let him be at a sense of calm.

"Mako Sharklantean....be calm." He spoke softly, as the Mako shook his head in a panic, and spoke back.

"ARE YOU CRAZY, ALL OF YOU LOOK LIKE ARE FOLLOWING THESE SHARKLANTEAN'S ONE OF THEM COULD BE ONE OF THOSE THING'S!!!!!!!!!!!" The Mako Sharklantean shouted, as both Lotus Moon, and Saphirus were very suspicious, almost all of the. staring at Creature.

"You did almost get left behind Creature, enough time for the H.I.V.E Sharklantean's to take your place" Lotus Moon snarled, as Creature looked at Lotus with predatory eyes, and growled.

"Normally you would always trust me Lotus, but becasue of these thing's your perception has been called into question, but I am still Creature....and I will not leave, until I know who is the last pair of H.I.V.E. Shark's" Creature growled, accidentally slashing Tigerclaw who let out an insect like screech being flown back. The entire Sharklantean began splitting into many H.I.V.E. Shark's as they began to swarm, and try to replicate at high speed's. Thank's to all of them, and the assisting help of the Sharklantean's, they managed to kill all of the H.I.V.E. Shark's, and even a swarm of replicated ones trying to disguise itself as one of the Dark Clan Sharklantean's.

After all of them were finished destroying the last of the H.I.V.E Shark's with all of them coated from the blood of how many that had replicated, and were slaughtered; Creature looked around, to try, and find Tigerclaw when he came up from behind them, and sighed. "That H.I.V.E. Shark bit me, and force me to run away before it turned into me. He came to me disguised, as you Creature" Tigerclaw growled, as Creature sighed.

"Well, thank's to us, that was the last bunch of H.I.V.E. Shark's nested together" Creature sighed, as he turned to the Mako, and the Wobbegong.

"How exactly did H.I.V.E. Shark's come with you two to this vessel?" Creature asked, as the Mako spoke.

"We were on a ship stolen from Ramble a while back. We were on a mission for the Goddess of the Dark Clan to see if we could find you. The Laser Shark was found adrift, and we got him onboard. All of the H.I.V.E. Shark's later killed the Captain, and the crew that helped us, before it took control, and blew up the ship. We caught one that was trying to withhold it's replicating to get off the ship, and find other ship's with Sharklantean passenger's. Our chase led us to a lifeboat, and we all passed out from our fierce fight with it onboard. We all drifted aimlessly for a day, or two until we came here" Mako explained, as Creature sighed.

"Giving the beast enough time to form just enough of four Sharklantean disguised replicates to cause some trouble....lucky for us, and you...we were able to take care of them ourselves" Creature explained, as the Mako noticed that they had secured the Next Generation Project.

"I think I know where the Dark Clan resides....but getting there is going to be a problem" Mako explained, as the Wobbegong spoke.

"Furaipan kara dete, hi no naka e" The Wobbegong spoke, as the Mako laughed.

"You said it partner" He smiled, as all of them managed to clean up the bloody messes that the H.I.V.E. Shark's left behind. They were finallyable to get back to there day, and were also admiring the ocean view after the fog cleared, allowing them to get back on track.

Chapter 27 The Dark Clan (Gore)

The place that was a part of the Dark Clan, looked almost nothing like it originally did. What had once been a nice cave with a touch of eeriness was now a place that looked even worse. It looked like a forest of blood that seemed to be oozing it's own liquid, as a few of the group set out toward this specific area. Lotus Moon noticed that she, Saphirus, Lovebug, and Creature were going on this mission. With how tough those H.I.V.E Shark's were easily killed with the help of the Next Generation Project mates, something irked the unicorn mare. "Why did you leave Akasha, and the other's behind, becasue we could use the Sharklantean support" Lotus Moon asked, as Creature spoke.

"We still don't have the cure....at least not yet, plus with how much the virus may have evolved over many day's of Infection. Also, if Equestrian pony like creature's, and Sharklantean's can easily be infected I think the same applies for the newly created female Sharklantean's....if they become Infected before we get the cure......"Creature explained, until he was interrupted by Saphirus who actually figured out what he was going to say next.

"......Then there's no hope for a huge repopulation of every single Sharklantean Clan in the future, and one of each species, leading to the extinction of the Sharklantean race" Saphirus finished, as Lotus Moon sighed.

"Which would leave Equestria at the mercy of the overwhelming Infection" Lotus Moon sighed, as all of them stayed on their toes, trying to find the Goddess of the Dark Clan, in hopes of securing the cure. They heard many loud groaning sound's coming from the huge forest, as many of the Infected Sharklantean's began emerging from the dark, and eerie forest's. Many of these Sharklantean's had more of a nasty mutation, allowing them to be bigger, faster, or even more savage. All of the Infected Sharklantean's charged at the group head on, as they charged back. Lotus, Lovebug, Creature, and Saphirus began clearing their way to the Dark Clan's temple. Lotus Moon was leaping high, and acrobatically using her bo-staff, bashing her enemies skull's out with much power, and skill.

Saphirus was also holding up as well, using his rocket fist's to constantly help smash into each of the Infected Sharklantean's. Blood sprayed everywhere, as they tore the Infected Sharklantean form's to bit's. Lovebug Sektiss had mastered her tomahawk skill's, as she easily slashed through many of them, making their blood gush everywhere. Creature also used his instinct, and the knowledge of what he could do as a Great White Sharklantean, headbutting, punching, and even slashing many of the Infetcted Sharklantean's, killing them. He charged in doing his best to rip, as many of his enemies apart, and keep his group alive.

With their knowledge, and teamwork, all of them continued charging a clear path to the temple, shredding many, many, many Infected Sharklantean's. After a long path of fighting off the bleeding, infected fish, they finally came across the Dark Clan temple. Creature managed to push the very locked door to open, and shut it behind him. The place had some light to it, but it only added to the creepiness of the place. All of them could hear the weird, disturbing, ghostly crying of what sounded like a grown stallion, the other freaky sound, was the sound of children, screaming, and being tortured, just being faint enough to send chill's up your spine.

The place looked more like a science lab, with broken test tube's, blood stained everywhere, and dissection table's full of blood. The smell of death reeked in the room, and an unnatural feeling was in the air, as they began looking around. The place had many bloody handprint's on the wall along with many blood splotches all over the place. There were also severed Sharklantean fin's on the ground, along with many Sharklantean skeleton's. "Why would the Dark Clan experiment on there own species?" Lotus Moon asked, as Creature spotted a table with blueprint's of an unknown Sharklantean.

"I don't think they were experimenting on Sharklantean's.....I think they were trying to create a new species of Sharklantean....and it all went wrong" Creature answered her, as all of them continued to explore the lab of the Dark Clan before coming across a rather different clan throne, being met with an Alicorn mare sitting sadly on the throne.

"I don't believe it.....you all survived, especially you Creature, Veun picked our survival well with you, after all that has happened out here" The mare spoke, as Lovebug Sektiss looked at her with a small suprise.

"Daybreaker?" She asked, seeing the flaming mane, as the Alicorn mare shook her head.

"I am not Daybreaker, I am the Goddess of the Dark Clan, my name is Elvira" Elvira spoke, introducing herself. The beautiful Alicorn mare with the flaming green mane walked down from her throne with a nice sway to her curved hip's, as Lotus Moon spoke up.

"Wait......how do you, and the other three Goddesses know about us, before we even got to you all?" Lotus Moon asked, as Elvira chuckled before speaking.

"When we knew our Clan's were slowly became infected by the Tryphoceaus virus, we made one final plan for all of us to survive. The last of the un-infected Great White Sharklantean's would become the new king of the Predator Clan, and bring the 4 Sharklantean's they spoke of to lead the Clan's to survival." Elvira explained, as Saphirus spoke.

"All of this here....were you the one's who unleashed the virus?" Saphirus asked, as Elvira let out a deep, sad sigh.

"Yes....but it wasn't originally a virus....I was using my Dark Goddess Magic to create a new species of Dark Clan Sharklantean that I originally thought would be such an amazing success. In order for me to help, I had asked the Goddess of the Ancient Clan to send me a Megalodon Sharklantean to help create this specimen. She agreed to help, and helped me sent a Sharklantean who had willingly volunteered. The Sharklantean we were trying to create would be known as a Zombie Sharklantean with it's own Magic Seal food that I would create. The idea was to use one of the flower's from out of where we lived, combined with my magic to do the trick" Elvira explained, as Creature spoke.

"Let me guess....it didn't take long for all of it to go wrong?" Creature asked, as Elvira sighed.

"Yes....the plant that we used fused with my magic, and the Megalodon Sharklantean in the best way, created a virus that bores holes into any Sharklantean before becoming it's own being, alive, and would be able to mutate. Becasue the Sharklantean was of the ocean, the virus easily adapted to the best source of Infection....water. It soon spread so fast that I couldn't stop it, but thankfully I managed to quickly create something that I've been holding onto for sometime....." She spoke, as she opened a secret compartment on her throne, pulling out a tiny bottle of glowing blue liquid.

".....This is what can help kill the Infection, a small antibody that is designed to counter the oceanic affect's....this is the last piece that is needed for all of you to make the cure....quickly, we must return to your ship with this thing intact, so that the Infection doesn't destroy it" Elvira warned, as Saphirus gripped his gloves, a wide mischievous grin plastered on his face.

"And I thought this wasn't going to get anymore fun" He grinned, as Creature smiled before running out to the door with everyone else, Elvira journeying behind them.

"Let's do this" Creature growled, as more Infected Sharklantean's appeared out of the huge forest's, and began making their way to all of them. They all charged forward using their specific attack's to take many of them down in their own way. Lotus Moon was speedy, and acrobatic, easily bashing many of the Infected being's with her bo-staff, making blood spray everywhere. Saphirus was also doing very well to make sure he stay guared all the time. Many of the Infected Sharklantean's tried to bite him, but he was fast, and nimble enough to dodge, and beat them to a bloody pulp.

Lovebug used her Tomahawk, as she threw it from a very keen angle, shredding 8 of them in half, before attracting the weapon back to her, using her own Changeling magic. She had diced, and severed many Infected Sharklantean's with her own moves, and even a touch with her Changeling magic. Creature wasn't a slouch either, his attack's were the most precise, and the most savage. Many of the Infected Sharklantean's that tried to bite him were beaten, and shredded by the razor sharp speed of his claw's. Elvira's magic made it easier for them, as she helped clear a path of them, using a massive laser beam of dark magic that made many Infected Sharklantean's explode with blood gushing everywhere.

With all of them working together, and having each other's back's they all managed to make it to the ship that they had arrived on. Rainbow Dash, and the other male Sharklantean's who were still a part of the crew managed to fight off many of the bleeding fish that got onboard with ease, and all of them sailed away from the island, heading to the Sharklantean's new habitat at Posiedon's Breath.

Chapter 28: The Cure (Clop, and Story)

It had taken a very, very long ride, but it felt like the journey had come to an end. Saphirus had is Book fully written to the brink, including the new information of the females, and all the Goddesses, and Sharklantean Information. After the Tryphoceaus Virus would be cured a new world would emerge in the Oceanic Colonies with very new information. After explaining to the new guest's about how the Island, and everything on it had been built, Elvira figured if enough magic could use, they could push a certain amount of areas back that would contain a new primary feeding source for Sharklantean's.

All of them were now with in off area set up of the lab. Zecora, and the scientist's had there specimen week's, and it was still here. Two pieces of the cure had been synthesized, and when Zecora was given the antibody, she gasped. "How surprised for me to be, this last ingredient is just the thing I need" Zecora cooed, studying the other two pieces that would were synthesized, as Saphirus also helped her try to figure how to make the cure.

"So can you create the cure?" Creature asked, as Saphirus helped studied it more turning to the other's.

"It's going to be a few more hour's time, but yes we should get it done by tonight" Saphirus confirmed, as Lovebug Sektiss spoke up next.

"How exactly are we going to make a huge bomb that will spread the cure across the ocean to the Infection's?" Lovebug Sektiss asked, as Saphirus turned to the Changeling, and spoke.

"Thank's to a machine that thankfully has been intact given to us by Twilight, the cure replicator should create enough cures to be part of a huge bomb It is going to require a specific detonation to achieve the feat we need, but first we need to create the cure itself." Saphirus explained, as he went back to help Zecora synthesize the cure.

"All of you can keep on it, the rest of us will do our best to enjoy the morning" Creature explained, as almost all of them went there seperate way's to enjoy the a well, relaxed day.

*****
Creature had used the heightened senses in his body to track where exactly his mate was, and it didn't take him long to find her scent. This whole new Next Generation Project was a suprise that he had never expected, and he wouldn't be lying if he said thar he didn't enjoy it. Whenever they were together, whenever he fucked her, it felt like she belonged to him, and him alone. For Creature the thought that most likely answer was of her being a female Sharklantean of his species. If he was correct with the Dark Clan Goddesses help, would be the birth of female, and male Sharklantean's of each species in the future.

He found Akasha swimming around in one of the private lake's that they had later added to the island. She was alone, as the other Sharklantean's were in their own water's swimming, and enjoying the water on their oceanic skin's. Akasha noticed him, and immedietly surfaced, her breast's poking out from the water, and showing off her light blue nipples. "My mate, it warm's my heart to see you again" Akasha cooed, in her native tongue. Creature entered the water with her, as feeling of being in water felt good against his oceanic Sharklantran scales, helping him relax. He looked at his mate with both lust, and love, swimming over to her with his own elegance, and style.

Her beauty could not be rivaled, and he dared say his mate looke absolutely sexy. Creature approached Akasha, as he spoke in his softest tone. "I see you decided to relax in the water's, but I don't get why you have your part's on display" Creature pondered, as Akasha swam closer to him with elegant grace, wrapping her arm's around him.

"Because the water feel's so good against my oceanic skin, and I hope it would be romantic if my mate was in these water's with me to see me like this" Akasha cooed softly, as she bent down closely, locking lip's with the Sharklantean. Both of them kissed passionetly, as they let their tongues dance, moaning, and growling from each kiss. They seperated, and kissed again, and again, and again. Creature felt himself getting hard, as Akasha felt his shaft rub against her fold's. After panting, Akasha seperated from their third kiss, and looked at him with pure lust her fold's slick with arousel. "Underwater, let's take this beneath the water"

She cooed, as Creature nodded, diving deep beneath the water's with his mate near him. Both of them could feel the water envelope them, while being able to see the beauty of the ocean beneath them. Thank's to both of them being Sharklantean's they were not only able to breathe underwater, but also speak. Akasha slowly faced him, her leg's spread revealing her pussy, dripping with her nectar that mixed with the water. Creature felt his hard shaft throbbing, as he guided himself down to her, letting his shaft rub against her fold's. Akasha gasped, and let out a low moan not wanting to be teased.

Creature only growled before leveling him, and Akasha out, as he slammed his rock hard shaft into her pussy. "AAAAAHHHNNNN!!!!!!" Akasha moaned, her warm wall's welcoming him back inside, as he pressed her body against his, her breast's squeezing against his chest. Both of them locked lip's again, their kiss heated with passion, and lust. Akasha wrapped her arm's around his back, as he did the same, while her head rested against his shoulder. They were locked together in am underwater sitting position, as Creature began thrusting deep into her pussy.

"AAAAAHHH....AAAAHHH....AAAHHH.....AH FUCK YES....AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, HAAAAAA....HAAAA....HAAAAA, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AAAAAAHHHH FUUUCCCKKK.....THAT'S THE SPOT....AAAAHHHH, AAAAAHHHH, AAAAAAAHHH.....HAAAA, HAAAA, HAAAAA....." Akasha's moan's were music to Creature ear's who was lost into pounding her tight pussy. She felt so good, and he was really getting into this. The same went for Akasha, as she let him fuck her, both of them trying to make this moment last.

They held out for a while, but both of them couldn't deny their climaxes any longer. "C....CREATURE....I'M GONNA CUM, PLEASE CUM INSIDE YOUR MATE!!!!!!!" Akasha moaned, as Creature growled.

"GRRRR...AKASHA....YOUR REALLY TIGHT!!!!!!!" Creature growled, as Akasha screamed his name in his ear being sent over the edge, as the same went for Creature. Warm Sharklantean spunk flowed into Akasha's pussy, as her body shook from a powerful climax, her fem cum squirting into the water's with them. Both of them came down from their climax, as a strange chemical was released from their bodies, keeping the water's clean of cum, even after climax. Both of them surfaced with water dripping down their bodies, and the cum oozing out of Akasha's pussy, even with Creature still partially inside her.

"That....was....fucking....amazing" Akasha panted, as Creature nodded.

"Everytime I do it with you, it only get's more blissful" Creature told her, as Akasha blushed slightly, placing her claw on his chest, as she smiled.

"You really are my mate Creature" She cooed, before giving him a slight kiss, as both of them rested on the shore of the private lake.

*****
Mega's was on his way back to his quarters, with a very tired expression on his face. The whole situation with the H.I.V.E. Shark's, and the Dark Clan attack's was rather exhausting, and he either needed sleep, or to unwind. He opened the door to his quarter's, and came to a suprise. Kristy had herself completely exposed to him with a lustful look in her eye's, and a mischievous smile on her face. "Well, well my sexy mate I've been waiting all day for another hot fuck with you. I hope you don't mind, but I've been rather impatient, so do me a favor....." Kristy cooed, as she got on the bed, and got into a doggystyle pose, exposing her dripping slit to him, and smiled.

".....Don't keep me waiting any longer" Kristy cooed, as Mega didn't mind...in fact it was something he was looking forward to. His huge shaft sprang forth, as he climbed into the bed rather quickly, before sticking his rod between her fold's. Kristy shivered from the slight contact, as Mega only growled. He positioned himself ever so slightly, pressing his entire body against her's, while sliding his shaft deep into her pussy. "UUUUHHHNNN!!!!!!" Kristy moaned loudly, as Mega grabbed her big breast's, kneading, and playing with them, while fucking her at a primal pace.

"HAAAA....HAAAA....HAAAA....YEEESSSS, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, HAAAAAHH...YEEEAAAHH, DON'T STOP, PLEASE DON'T STOP.....HAAAA, HAAAAA, HAAAAA....FUCK ME....OOOHHH BABY....HAAAA, HAAAA, HAAAA....AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH....HAAAH" Kristy's moan's continued to reach higher in peak, as Mega couldn't stop fucking her. She felt too good, and he wanted to hear her scream. Mega was now thrusting deep into her womb, lewd slap's being heard in the room, as Kristy's tongue lolled out in ecstasy.

"HAAAA....HAAAAA....HAAAA....I'M CUMMING.......UUUUUHHHHHNNNNN!!!!!!!" Kristy screamed, as a huge load of Sharklantean seed filled Kristy's pussy, while her sweet nectar squirted out of her, staining the sheet's below. Both of them collapsed onto the bed, panting from their powerful orgasm's, as they snuggled together, and fell asleep.

*****
Tigerclaw was in his own quarters with his mate, and he was having a good view of what he saw. The door was locked, and he was alone with Levi. The female Sharklantean was surprisingly good at pole dancing, and she was somehow pulling off the best moves. He watched her hypnotically, as she swung her beautiful body around, letting him view every single part of her body, even her exposed, dripping flower. His shaft was rock hard, as Levi soon wrapped up her pole dancing, and sexual teased him, as he before got g off his chair, a little dumbfounded.

"That was hot Levi, but why exactly are you having me get up?" Tigerclaw asked, as she went back to the pole, and let it go between her breast's, while sticking her ass out with her leg's spread, letting him view her wet fold's in their beautiful glory.

"Becasue my tiger....I want you to fuck me against this pole, and I want you to fuck me hard" Levi growled, as Tigerclaw couldn't resist such an offer. He approached Levi, and grabbed her beautiful ass cheek's, while letting him go ball's deep inside her. "OOOOOHHHH FUUUUCCCKKK!!!!!!" Levi moaned, her tongue lolling out of her mouth, as Tigerclaw also played with her breast's, driving the female Sharklantean wild. Tigerclaw began thrusting in, and out of her pussy, while listening to her moan's.

"OOOOHHH, OOOOHHH YEAAAHHH....AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AAAAHHHH FUUUCCCKKK....OH, OH, OH, OH, OH, OH, OH, OOOOHHH YEEEAAAH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AH, AAAAHHH YEEESSS....R-RIGHT THERE.....OOOHHH YEEESSS, TIGERCLAW....I'M CLOSE, KNOCK ME UP.......AAAAAAHHHHNNNN!!!!!!!! Levi screamed, as both of them climaxed. Tigerclaw unloaded a huge amount of his seed deep into her, while her fem cum squirted out of her pussy, onto the floor below.

Both of them panted, coming down from their powerful orgasm's, as Tigerclaw growled, going at it with her again.

*****
The beautiful sun shined in the rather nice bedroom, stirring a certain Pegasuas from her deep slumber. Captain Rainbow Dash was so worn out that she had taken a nap, after the huge trip that they had taken. She finally yawned, feeling the urge to get up, as she sat up in bed. Rainbow Dash was topless, but was wearing some nice yoga pant's that were very snug. She was thinking about checking to see if the cure was done, and if she could be able to help in any sort of way. Unfortunately for her Nikaku was sleeping next to her, and had also woken up.

The Ninja Sharklantean couldn't help himself, as he immiedietly yanked himself up, and squeezed her breast's. "AAAAHHH....NIKAKU WHY DID YOU DO THAT....STOP!!!!!!!" Rainbow Dash whined, as Nikaku soon sported a wide grin on his face. He used his claw's to shred her yoga pant's revealing she wasn't wearing any panties. Nikaku was speedy, and fast, as he began playing with her right breast's while diving his huge finger's into her pussy. "AAAAAHHHNNN....NIIIKKKAAKKUUU.....PLEASE....YOUR MAKING ME HORNY!"

Rainbow Dash moaned, as Nikaku didn't want to stop, knowing her weak spot's. His left hand shifted, and massaged the joint that connected her wing's together. "OOOOHHHHHH YOU BEAST!!!!!!!"Rainbow Dash moaned loudly, her back arching, exposing her pussy more. Nikaku pulled his finger's out of her, and let his claw's leave her breast's, leaving the mare very turned on. He pressed her back to his chest, as he layed down on the bed, ramming his erect shaft deep into her womb. "FUUUUUCCCCKKKK!!!!!!!"

Rainbow Dash moaned, her inner wall's clamping down on his shaft, and her nipples already being erect, submitting to the pleasure. Her wing's were spread out, as Nikaku growled, and began fucking her. Rainbow Dash's wing's were rubbing pleasantly, along his oceanic skin sending multiple electric tingles along her spine. Rainbow Dash's loud moan's echoed throughout the room with the lewd slap's of sex also being audible. After Nikaku hit his climax, Rainbow Dash came hard, her vision becoming blurry, as she saw star's. The bulge in her belly signified just how much he filled her up.....but he wasn't done.

Nikaku flipped the mare over in a doggystyle position, ramming deep into her womb, sending multiple electrical tingles up her spine. He continued fucking Rainbow Dash with fast, and hard thrust's, as the mare beneath him was a moaning mess. Her tongue lolled out of her mouth, her eye's rolled to the back of her head, as cum sloshed around inside her. Another powerful climax, made Rainbow Dash's bulge increase more, as some of their mixed cum left her pussy before they collapsed onto the bed, fatigued.

"N-Never mind getting up....that was so fucking hot" Rainbow Dash panted, still feeling cum ooze out of her pussy, as another moan escaped her lip's. "So full" She panted, as Nikaku snuggled his mare, both of them deciding to take an even longer nap than before.

*****
"We got it.....WE FINALLY GOT IT!!!!!!!" Saphirus shouted, as they held a syringe with a glowing blue aura in a single medical vial. After all of there fun, and time off in the morning, this adventure was about to come to a close. Lotus Moon, Lovebug Sektiss, Rainbow Dash, Echo, Akasha, Creature, and the other's who had worked, and traveled so far to stop the Infection, now had the opportunity to test it.

"How many bottles of these did you replicate Saphirus?" Lovebug Sektiss asked, as he proudly smiled.

"Three, it was best not to replicate any more, because we wanted to test it to see it we did finally achieve it, but this should stopped the Tryphoceaus Virus in it's track's, and even cure any upgraded form's the virus created from it's mutation's" Saphirus smiled, as some of the scientist's brought out their specimen, being the Infected Sharklantean that they acquired when they first fought the Infected form's. All of them had their finger's crossed, as Saphirus went over, and injected the serum into the Infected Sharklantean. The Infected Sharklantean stopped thrashing around, as the holes around it's body immedietly vanished from it's skin.

For a few second's the Infected Sharklantean layed there still before it's body shook wildly, as it's dissolved into normal oceanic water from the remain's of what it used to be....a Sharklantean was no longer there. "Does....that mean it's working?" Lotus Moon asked, as Creature spoke.

"Yup.....the cure work's" Creature smiled.

"The big problem is going to be able to make a bomb that will cause, an entire ocean, even in it's deepest, darkest, depth's to be cured of the Tryphoceaus Virus....but how are we going to do that?" Saphirus asked, as Creature formed a plan.

"Wait.....if the Poseidon's Breath Amulet is the answer, it may be more than a huge part of the cure, it must have a ton of magic in it right? If we put the Amulet in the bomb along the cure's that we replicate it only would take about a third of the magic from the Amulet to give us the detonation we require. All we need to do is create something similar to a Nuclear Missile, but instead of the warhead's being filled with radiation......" Creature explained, as Saphirus immedietly caught on, and knew the answer.

"......We fill it with the Amulet's magic, and the cure's, and it will be just ENOUGH....LET'S GET TO WORK!!!!!!!!!" Saphirus chuckled, as all of them used the replicator, and carefully used whatever equipment they could scrounge up from what they were given to launch this huge Nuclear Warhead. The entire missile, stood very high on it's launch system, ready to deliver the cure to the Equstrian Ocean. "3......2.....1.....HERE WE GO!!!!!!!!" Saphirus shouted, as the missile was launched miles high into the sky, as it finally came down to a specific part of the ocean. The entire missile exploded, as a wave of glowing energy covered Equestria's entire ocean, curing everyone of the Tryphoceaus Virus, and destroying it for good.

Life of Equestria, and the Oceanic Colonies (Epilogue)

5 week's later

"AMAZING!!!!!!!" Twilight Sparkle shouted with a sparkle in her eyes, as she flipped through the documentary journal that Saphirus had fully filled out, about the Sharklantean's, Siren's, Sea Ponies, Culture of the Oceanic Colonies, Posiedon's Breath, Tornado Field's, W.A.S.P's.....everything. Everything that they encountered out in the Oceanic Colonies, and observed was now in Twilight Sparkle's hand's who had already studied, and read it so many time's, learning so much. Lovebug Sektiss looked at Twilight Sparkle after rolling her eye's.

"Did anyone get Infected from the Tryphoceaus Virus in Equestria?" Lovebug asked, as Twilight Sparkle shut the book, and tried to maintain her focus.

"Thankfully no, the Infection got near the Island of Manehatten which was a rather cherished memorial. Every part of the ocean, was just out of reach of the Mainland's shore line, and we easily were able to kill one, or two of those....Infected creature's, but my guess is the virus had spread itself a bit too thin to create more, before you cured it" Twilight Sparkle explained, as Lovebug Sektiss smiled.

"If our job is done, Twilight your friend Rainbow Dash wanted to help discuss a treaty for the Mainland, and the Sharklantean's....I think she is a little too.....attached to the Ninja Sharklantean who fucked her the last few week's" Lovebug Sektiss explained, as Twilight Sparkle giggled.

"Sure thing I also managed to set up a few other thing's.....say didn't your two best friend's get married?" Twilight Sparkle asked, as Lovebug Sektiss chuckled.

"Sure did, they even took their honeymoon's to a rather special paradise in the Oceanic Colonies thank's to the help to the Goddess of the Dark Clan. Many of the Colonist's have been rebuilding these recent past five week's, and would like to discuss a treaty to bring the Oceanic Colonies, and Equestria together to make a new nation" Lovebug Sektiss told her, as Twilight Sparkle smiled.

"I'll call this new world Equanox" Twilight Sparkle smiled, as Lovebug Sektiss let out a long sigh.

"I still think it need's a little work Princess, but I am afraid I must take my leave." Lovebug Sektiss bowed, as she began to walk out, while Twilight Sparkle raised her eyebrow, and spoke.

"You going to have some "fun" Lovebug?" Twilight Sparkle asked.

"No, before I can go back to my fucking of my Changeling hive....I am afraid that me, and Chrysalis need to have a meeting with the new leaders of all four Sharklantean Clan's to discuss a peace treaty for both our sake's. I still don't want to hear the idea of them calling us "Impure's" all the time" Lovebug Sektiss groaned, as Twilight Sparkle merely sipped her tea on her throne, and spoke.

"Be glad that when Chrysalis failed after invading us, at Shining Armor, and Cadence's we didn't start calling your species that" Twilight told her, as Lovebug Sektiss muttered something under her breath, before speaking clearly.

"The Oceanic Colonies are very different from Equestria" Lovebug Sektiss told Twilight Sparkle who watched the Changeling leave, and looked down at the book that Saphirus had recorded notes in.

"I have a feeling it will always be like that, but that only makes me want to see it" Twilight Sparkle smiled before continuing with her duties.
