"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.
