The tribe settled into the pyramid, a celebration thrown in honor of everyone who had helped make this possible. This meant another wild orgy Spike participated in, certain he had fucked every female in attendance but his sidekick Beatrix at least once by the time it was over. He slumped against a wall, cocks currently buried in Gabby who practically pushed away other females for another chance with him, and Rainbow Dash behind her who wasn't certain another opportunity to fuck him would come.

His claws smoothed over his lovers while they bounced atop him in the lit interior, some of the tribe slumped down to sleep after a similarly heavy session, more of them still in the middle of their own engagement. He spotted Beatrix, who sat naked next to Ahuizotl and regaled him with tales of her various adventures at his request until she started to bore herself.

“Inside,” urged Gabby. “I-I want to come with you!”

“Feel free to,” he replied as Zecora had already given her blessing. The witch doctor had also told the crew they were always welcomed back, and the tribe had helped repair the airship to the best of their ability with what was available. The pirates were also given a share of the treasure with the guardian's permission, the Crystal Heart also turned over to them.

“I'll see it reaches Cadance,” assured Beatrix who smiled and waved at the them. “Just have to wait for my friend to finish!”

As if in answer Spike grunted and busted a nut inside his current lovers, who shook and squealed, impaled balls deep on his knots as they showered their interiors. His claws pressed them close to his well-cut chest, let them soak in the heat he radiated while he cradled them to remind them how important they were to him. Within moments they had soaked his lap.

He patted their bottoms and they reluctantly rose to let him up. They took a moment to clean his shafts before he went to all fours, then padded over to Beatrix. “So, you've decided to come with us, right? I'd prefer not to leave behind my sidekick!”

“You bet,” she assured and shot the guardian a guilty frown. “Don't worry, I'll be back someday, with lots more stories!”

“I'll hold you to that,” said Ahuizotl who playfully smacked her backside with his tail as she rose. The party had died down, and so Beatrix waved a hand over her body and summoned her costume back into place, adjusting her wide-brimmed hat.

Zecora walked over to meet them. “Thank you for everything. I must admit I disagree with your decisions, so keep an eye on those two.” She stared at Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon out of the corner of her eye. “You're always welcome back.”

“Thanks,” answered Spike as Beatrix hopped onto his back. A short time later the crew followed, and Calaeno piloted the rebuilt airship near the pyramid to meet them, rope ladders tossed over the sides as they clambered on. The sky pirate captain offered a salute to the tribe leader, and Beatrix shot the guardian one last wistful look before they rose skyward.

The weird phenomena that surrounded the island had died down and allowed them to leave. But they wouldn't soon forget their adventures here, especially since Gabby served as a reminder since she agreed to join Spike's herd. Likewise Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon stayed close by him at all times, wary and uncertain where they stood after what had transpired.

Beatrix whispered to him, “Did we do the right thing? I mean their crimes might not be any worse than the Dazzlings', but...”

“I know,” said Spike.” Not sure how I feel, either. Guess we'll see, but we'd better keep an eye on them, just in case.”

He sat on his haunches and looked over the crew, most who were so casual they still wore the skimpy costumes of the tribe, or in some cases, nothing at all. His eyes settled on Rainbow Dash, Lightning Dust, Scootaloo, Gilda, and Gabby in particular, a bevy of different sized bare asses on display as they bent over a rail to watch the sea pass below, hair whipped about by the wind. He licked his chops, reminded he couldn't focus on sex all the time! At least he and Beatrix could return to the Dragon Lord as heroes, with treasure in tow! In a short amount of time he'd already built a sizable harem to cement his place.

Calaeno by contrast was back in her usual attire, the captain at the wheel. They traveled for miles, a small smile on her place, thankful that she didn't need to ride her crew for once and could allow them all a chance to relax.

But no sooner did such thoughts cross her mind when the engine started to audibly sputter. Smoke rose from the engines below. “What the...did those parasprites do more damage than we thought? The tribe seemed to know what they were doing, so-”

“It's not that,” called Beatrix who rushed to her side as the airship started to lose altitude. “It's like when we approached the island! Some sort of supernatural interference,” she warned, able to sense the sudden spike of a magical signature.

The captain yelled over the wind, “Can you do anything about it?”

“Afraid not! I don't have the kind of raw power to enclose a whole airship in my aura! I'm more of an illusionist like my mother,” she confessed and ducked down as the ship rocked and some of the pirates were tossed about.

“Something's drawing us to the ocean,” observed Adagio who clustered with her sisters, none of whom bothered to redress.

“Everyone hold on,” yelled the captain. “We're about to hit the seas hard!” Moments later the structure quaked, cascades of sea spray splashed up to wash over them, and screams sounded as they were chucked about.

As the ship settled and creaked like it threatened to buckle, something dark loomed below. Its mass easily dwarfed the vehicle's and spread directly below them. Geysers shot up and from the violent waters arose a series of suckered tentacles.

“Oh hell no,” cried Sonata. “I know where this is going-”

“That's a myth,” yelled Aria at her side, only for the tendrils to move with blinding speed and seize them and Adagio by their midsections. Before Spike could loose a fireball they were dragged with a splash underwater.

“What should we do,” called Gabby who liked the other fliers had taken to the sky.

Shrill screams came from Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon who were also seized. Claws flashed from Spike who tore into a rubbery tentacle, while Beatrix tried to hold onto the pair with her aura and the pirates opened fire, but despite their combined efforts the creature shrugged off their assault and vanished back into the inky seas, seemingly undisturbed.

An eerie calm settled over the area, until the black spot below disappeared completely. The skies started to dim and rain began to fall. Beatrix walked up to Spike's side as they stood in silence and said, “Sirens are magical creatures, so I can sense they're still alive. I might be able to trace their signatures. I don't know about Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon.”

“They have to be out there,” said Spike who dug his nails into the deck.

“Don't worry,” said the captain. “We won't abandon anyone in our crew.” She turned to the black clouds that slowly rolled about the stilled waters, which gradually parted to reveal what appeared to be another ship. However this one was of a much older, outdated design, the decrepit structure wet and rotten, its sails and flag so tattered they were undefinable.

Rainbow stared at the vehicle as she threw on her leather bikini, no crew visible. “A ghost ship? You've gotta be joking!”

“We've seen weirder,” replied Lightning who fluttered at her side. “Think we should check it out?”

“Don't rush ahead you sea dogs,” warned Calaeno. “We don't know what it's capable of! It could vanish with you!”

“It has to be connected to that what happened,” said Beatrix who swallowed hard. “Sh-should we?”

Spike nodded, scooped her onto his back, and spread his wings, snout drawn in determination. They would do this alone if they had to, but he heard the rustle of wind around them, as the fliers raced in at his side to make a beeline for the ghost ship...
