Creature: Dark Apakolypse

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.
