I am Captain Jack Sparrow, savvy?

Celestia wakes up exhausted along with a headache and gazes around the room, catching a glance out the window to see that it is still dark out. Curious why she woke up, she continues looking around the room when she gasps at seeing her sister laying on the floor with her back along the wall. She hurriedly rises out of bed and jumps to the floor, then runs toward her fallen sister. Kneeling by her side, she worriedly grasps her sister's shoulders and calls out to her, "Lulu, LULU...PLEASE WAKE UP!

Luna groans and sits up with a massive headache saying, "Ughhh...my head's killing me."

The older sister sighs with a smile then says, "It is good you are awake, are you injured anywhere?"

She thinks about it for a bit and moves a few parts, then shakes her head slowly saying, "Thankfully, I'm just suffering from aches...how long was I out?"

Celestia uses a little spell to check what time it should be and gasps saying, "OH TARTARUS! It is three hours past sunrise, we need to raise the sun and lower the moon!"

In spite of the pain she is in, Luna rises up from the floor and returns to her hooves. She then walks to her sister's balcony as they quickly begin changing the time from night into day when she asks, "Do you remember what that spell was that you cast last night?"

She cocks her head as they finish switching it to daytime as she tries to think of what happened but shakes her head with a sigh saying, "Unfortunately I can't remember anything, can you tell me about it to jog my memory?"

The little sister thinks back to what she saw but sighs saying, "I couldn't identify the spell, but when you cast it...it sent out a wave of golden light that blasted me off of you and caused me to slam into the wall where I was then knocked out. I am sorry if your face is a little sore, I slapped you last night to try to wake you from your sleep."

Celestia blinks and feels her cheek, discovering that it is a little tender and smiles saying, "It is alright, did you succeed?"

Luna shakes her head sadly and says, "Unfortunately no, after I slapped you, you finished singing a strange song which you cast your spell immediately after the last word."

She looks at her sister curiously and asks, "Could you tell me more about what happened last night before we have to prepare for the Summer Sun Festival?"

The little sister nods her head and says, "Of course, let me start from how it all began..."

Later that morning, several miles west of Seaquestria

A ship sails west-northwest under full canvas as the Swift Guardian chases after her a league or two when the pegasus captain looks behind the ship saying, "We still have hope lads! Unicorns, use your magic to attack their ship to slow her down!"

The pegasus captain on the Swift Guardian steers his ship onward and sees glowing horns preparing to attack and says, "Some unicorns skilled in defensive magic protect the ship, you others try to take down their sails!"

The captain of the pirate ship adjusts his course to try to dodge the attacks from their pursuer, although a few spells strike his sails and snap a couple ropes holding the side of one. Feeling his ship start to slow, he knows that he can either choose to repair the rope and stop attacking: granting the other ship the advantage...or he could make his final stand. As he makes his choice, he calls out, "All hands continue attacking them! Draw swords and prepare for our last stand!"

Just about close enough to start boarding the pirate ship, he says, "All hands draw your sabers and prepare to board!" when he hears the lookout calls out, "Captain Silverhoof, something strange spotted a few miles west of our location!" and pulls out his spyglass to see what it is.

After hearing the other lookout's report, the pirate ship's captain pulls out his own spyglass while keeping his wing on the wheel mumbling, "Could it be?"

As both captains continue watching the gathering fog when something begins to appear from beneath the ocean, but is unable to see anymore as the Stormy Gale blocks his sight and groans in annoyance, "Bring her to half-sail, I must know what that is."

The captain of the Stormy Gale watches as the objects keep rising out of the sea, revealing them to be part of a ship but his spyglass is not strong enough to see more detail and says, "Bring me the strong binoculars, I can't see much with this blasted thing!"

Moments later, a crewmember brings him the binoculars and gazes through them at the ship and grins saying, "Lads...IT'S HER! SHE'S BACK! REPAIR THE ROPES ON THE SAILS!"

The captain of the Swift Guardian focuses a bit more on the ship as the Stormy Gale's crew cheers at what their captain said, watching as the unknown ship's crew starts running about, pulling seaweed and kelp off the rigging, sails, and the deck. He sees a ship with black sails flying no colors and says absentmindedly, "What and who are you?" He continues watching the strange ship as she draws nearer, a light fog seeming to follow after the ship when he sees a flag go up and puts the spyglass away calling out, "It's another pirate ship, we will deal with her once these miscreants are arrested. Bring us to full sail!"

The pirate captain smiles as his crew finish repairing the ropes and turns the wheel, changing his course straight towards the other pirate ship softly saying, "We will let the Pearl take you all..." He then straightens the wheel out and calls out, "MORE SPEED, WE MAY YET HAVE A CHANCE TO FIGHT ANOTHER DAY!"

Jack Sparrow gazes through his spyglass at the other pirate ship being pursued and looks at the other ship's flag, and frowns at seeing the flag of Equestria. He puts his spyglass away as the crew finish ridding the ship of the seaweed and kelp, shifting his gaze to the front ship calling out, "Full canvas and then wait to open all gunports til the second ship draws near!" the crew then goes to the task saying, "Aye aye!"

As the Stormy Gale draws closer to the Black Pearl, he takes a closer look at the ship and gets an eerie feeling like something isn't quite right with her. He looks the ship over to see that her sails are tattered and torn, with big holes where there shouldn't be any, and a heavy fog that follows in her wake. Chills run up his spine as he maintains his course thinking, 'I really hope we make it back to Portuga today...'

The Swift Guardian's captain ignores the eerie sensation he gets when he looks at the ship with black sails and hull, taking a few moments to look the ship over again and scoffs saying, "Hmph...even though it is a big ship with three square-rigged masts, she isn't much of a threat because of the state her sails are in."

After the Stormy Gale sails on past the Black Pearl, the Swift Guardian's captain sees small doors open up on the side and chuckles saying, "Look lads, they are jumping ship!" and hears his crew join in.

Moments later as the black ship draws nearer, the captain sees something being pushed out of each hole. His eyes go wide as he realizes what they are and shouts, "CAST YOUR PROTECTIVE SHIELDS, THEY HAVE CANNONS ON BOARD!"

Jack watches as the ponies cast their shields and chuckles saying, "Let's introduce ourselves shall we...fire all."

The captain ducks behind the wheelhouse as he hears the cannons begin firing, hearing the crunching sound of wood breaking into pieces as he hears a slow creaking as one of the masts starts coming down. Moments later he hears magic shields shatter followed by the pained screams of his crew as they are hit.

Seconds pass by as the screams suddenly stop when the cannons finish firing, allowing a moment for the captain to assess the damage. Standing up from his cover, he turns to look at the deck. His eyes go wide as he begins to tremble at seeing the bodies of his men torn apart and the mainmast hanging off the edge of the ship. He looks at the carnage again and sees there are gaping holes in various places along the top deck, then turns around to look at the ship that caused all this destruction and sees the name on the back of the ship reading: Black Pearl. He watches the ship slowly come about to attack again and hides beside the undamaged wheelhouse, praying for his life to be spared from this carnage."

The Black Pearl nears the crippled ship as Jack looks at the useless state the remaining sails are in then says, "Furl the sails lads and bring her in, it's time to announce our return..."

The captain hears grapnels being thrown over and begins to shake more violently as he puts his hands together in prayer and says repeatedly, "Oh humble and beloved ruling princesses, please hear my prayer and come save me in my hour of need..."

Jack makes his way across the ship and onto the crippled vessel when he hears hooves quietly knocking against wood and chuckles saying, "Your princess is not a god mate...so give up and stop praying that she will come to save you..." and steadily makes his way around the gaping deck holes, heading towards the aft of the ship where one survivor is when he comes across a surviving crewmember. He looks at the pony briefly and sees that it is a unicorn, then draws his sword and stabs them through the heart.

The captain tries to stop his hooves from shaking so badly, but is unable to and tries to maintain some sense of calmness and says back, "Oh yes they will, the ruling princesses will gather the elements and send you back to Tartarus where you belong!"

As he makes his way around the other side of the helm, he slowly walks to the left side of the terrified pony and chuckles, drawing the pony's attention and says, "Tartarus didn't want me mate...I'm too dangerous. Now did my ears deceive me or did you just say ruling princesses and something about elements?" He then brings the tip of his sword to his throat as it still drips the fresh blood from his slain crewmember and says, "Answer me or lose your wings..."

He looks at the blade, wet with fresh blood, and trembles even more trying to speak, "Y-Y-Yes, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. I-I-I'm not telling you anything about the Element Bearers so just go ahead and k-kill me."

Jack leans forth while keeping the sword tip at the pegasus's throat, then reaches up with his other hand and grabs the pony by the throat. He pulls him up from the deck and chuckles saying, "No mate, I'm not gonna do that. I'm gonna tell you why... How are they gonna know about me eh? Now here's what you're gonna do, you will fly back to Canterlot and tell them all about what happened here. Oh and one question, along with your name, what might the day be mate?"

The captain calms a little at being allowed to live and says, "I-I am c-captain Sharp Feather, and it is the longest day of the year."

He huffs in annoyance and whacks the side of his head with the side of his sword, causing the pony to flinch in response and says, "The sooner you tell me, the less likely the chance you will die." To get his point across, he trails the tip of his sword down the side of his face lightly.

Sharp feather sighs and then says, "It is June 21st...now may I go?"

Jack grins and says, "Yes, and be sure to tell dear Celestia happy anniversary...she will understand. Now scram and fly to Canterlot like your life depends on it...because it does." then sheathes his sword, and grabs him with both hands and hurls him off the ship while saying, "Spread your wings and fly mate, fly like the worst evil is chasing you!"

The frightened pegasus opens his wings quickly and flaps them hard, barely avoiding landing in the sea and continues to fly away from the wrecked Swift Guardian to inform the princesses of dire news.

The captain watches the pegasus fly away, having a tan coat with a cream-colored mane and tail when he turns away and heads back to his ship. As he returns, he looks to the crew and says, "Set fire to this heap, then we search for others like her. This world will tremble at the mention of our name after we visit one of Equestria's ports..."

Close to sunset, inside the Canterlot castle's throne room

Celestia looks over the balcony while gazing at the statue garden, sighing heavily as she wishes that her daughter will come back soon when she hears the doors open and close. She turns around and looks back at the doors to see who just entered, seeing that it is her sister, she smiles and says, "Evening sister, it is almost time to change the day to night."

Luna walks up and stands beside her sister, then leans on the stone railing and says, "It is indeed sister, how are you feeling today after attending the celebration?"

She sighs and hangs her head a little saying, "I wish that I was feeling better, but I am still sad about who I lost..." Her attention is drawn towards the sound of the doors opening and somepony hurrying inside while breathing heavily, causing her to quickly turn around to see that it is a ship captain.

Sharp Feather stumbles over his own hooves and tries to get up while looking around the throne room frantically for the princess and calls out, "PRINCESS CELESTIA, PRINCESS LUNA, ARE EITHER OF YOU HERE!?"

The younger sister walks towards the frightened pegasus captain and says, "We are both here, what is the matter?"

The captain quickly jerks his head towards the voice and turns to face them, still lying on his stomach when he bows his head to them and says, "I bring troublesome news from the Celestial seas, Your Majesties."

Celestia looks at him with worry on her face and hurries towards him saying, "Please rise and explain what happened, captain Sharp Feather."

Sharp Feather takes a calming breath and then continues, still scared from the experience and begins his story, "I was on the Swift Guardian, chasing down a pirate ship called the Stormy Gale. We were about to overtake, then board and arrest them when a strange mist started appearing to our starboard side. After slowing the ship down to identify strange objects that began appearing on the ocean surface, I brought out a spyglass to get a closer look. Some moments passed as a ship rose above the water's surface, then came to float on it as its crew started hurrying about pulling seaweed and kelp from the rigging and sails, slowly revealing the three-masted ship to have black sails..."

She gasps and takes a few trembling steps back, fear starting to show on her face as she barely mumbles, "No..."

The captain continues his story and says, "We resumed our pursuit of the Stormy Gale when we heard the crew cheer and turn towards the unknown ship, realizing too late that it was a pirate ship when she opened her gunports and rolled out her cannons. I quickly ordered the crew to cast their shields as there were cannons on the ship, taking cover myself moments later when she started passing our bow..."

Celestia backs up further when a hoof slips a little, sending her off balance and quickly trying to regain it while wobbling precariously on one hoof mumbling a little louder, "No...please no..."

Sharp Feather pulls his knees up under his chin as he starts to rock back and forth, resuming his tale, saying, "When she began firing, I started hearing shields shatter followed by the screams of the crew as they were hit. A few moments passed when I heard one of the masts going over, rocking the ship as the screams continued. Then the screams stopped a little before the cannons stopped firing, allowing me a chance to survey the damage... The main mast was in the water, attached by only a few ropes. Our foremast was still standing, but the sails were completely shredded. I then noticed the crew, scattered across the blood-soaked deck in pieces. When the ship was behind us, I took a look at the back and saw the name, Black Pearl in gold lettering as she started to come back around. In my panicked state, I hid against the side of the undamaged wheelhouse when the Black Pearl's crew pulled our crippled ship in. I then started to pray for Princess Celestia or Princess Luna to come spare me from the carnage, but then a voice laughed and told me you were not a god and to give up praying because salvation was not coming. I then heard him stab a surviving pony when I gathered some courage and told him that you were, and you were going to gather the elements and send him back to Tartarus. He then came into view and said that Tartarus didn't want him because he was too dangerous, and then asked me to tell him more about the ruling princesses and the elements. After threatening to take my wings, I told him both of your names but refused to say anything about the elements and told him to just go ahead and kill me. He then laughed and said he wouldn't do that because you would not know what happened, he then ordered me to come find you in Canterlot and inform you of the matter. He then asked for what day it was and what my name was, I told him it was the longest day of the year but he whacked my head with the side of his sword. After telling him my name and that it was June 21st, he called you dear Celestia and said to wish you happy anniversary. He then threw me overboard and said to fly like the worst evil was chasing me."

Luna's eyes stare at the terrified captain, wide with fear when she hears her sister's hooves scrape along the floor. Quickly followed by a thump, she turns to look at her sister and sees something completely new on her face, sheer terror. She looks at her sister as she tries to back away from the captain, shaking her head side to side occasionally with wide-open eyes as her arms tremble while her legs and hooves scramble backward and asking, "Sister...what causes you to be so afraid?"

Celestia doesn't hear her sister's question as she thinks back on how the Sunrise was taken from her, then remembers what her daughter said to her. With a sharp gasp, her eyes fill with wild hope as she then smiles and stands up hastily, spins around, and jumps off the balcony while opening her wings. She races for the statue gardens and lands a short distance away, then lays her hands on the column saying repeatedly, "Come back sweetie, please come back..."

She blinks at her sister's sudden reaction and looks at the captain saying, "Thank you for your report, you are dismissed." then follows her sister off the balcony, and looks for where she might have gone. She hears a distant sobbing by the statue gardens and heads over there, finding her sister lying on the ground with one hand weakly reaching up the column as she cries uncontrollably. She lands near her sister and then comes to sit beside her asking, "Sister..." then pulls her off the ground and wraps her arms around her saying, "I'm here for you whenever you want to talk about it Cece."

She quickly wraps her arms around her sister's back and grips her tightly sobbing, "Why him and not her..." before devolving into an unconsolable state as her head falls onto her sister's shoulder while tears run in rivers down her face, taking her makeup with it.

The next morning, at Twilight's castle in Ponyville

Applejack hurries through the open door, then closes it behind her while trying to catch her breath saying, "Pardon my tardiness, had to ensure that Big Mac will take care of Applebloom while she's sick with the flu." then turns to gaze at the table and sees Twilight, Rainbow, Pinkie, Fluttershy, Rarity, Starlight, and nurse Redheart all gathered around the table, causing her to blink a couple of times asking, "What the hay is goin' on, why are there so many of y'all here? Are we under attack?"

Twilight sighs and shakes her head saying, "I'm not sure, I haven't heard of anything like that happening Applejack. The table called every single one of us here for some reason and is showing that we need to go to Manehattan for a friendship problem."

Rarity then smiles and says, "We should gather a few things that we might need for the trip, I just hope that nothing too dangerous happens."

The Princess of Friendship then nods her head in agreement saying, "I think that is a wise idea Rarity, let's get what we each need for a trip to Manehattan and meet up at the train station around noon. Okay, everypony?"

A few hours later, Twilight and the others meet up at the train station and then board after purchasing tickets when Rarity speaks up saying, "While we are there, do you mind if I check in on how things are going and give Sassy Saddles the latest designs?"

Twilight then nods her head saying, "Of course not, Rarity. I don't think we will locate the problem right away."

An hour later at Canterlot, inside Celestia's chambers

Celestia sits on her bed beside her sister, hanging her head in her hands. Still upset at what has happened, she says through her fingers, "I want to tell you everything, but can you wait until I send a message to Twilight and call the girls to my room?"

Luna nods her head and rubs her sister's back saying, "Of course I can sister, I am eager to understand what is causing you to act this way."

She then sighs and brings out a quill and parchment, then starts writing a letter to Twilight. After finishing the letter, she ties it closed with a ribbon and seals it with wax saying, "I hope they get here soon."

Meanwhile, at Twilight's castle in Ponyville

Spike is reading one of his comics when he looks up and suddenly burps green fire, causing a scroll to appear before him and grabs it, then opens it and starts to read quietly, 'Dear Princess Twilight, an important matter has come up and I want you, Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Starlight Glimmer to come to my room in the castle at Canterlot immediately.'

He then blinks and hurries to grab a quill and paper to reply, then sends it to Princess Celestia with a breath of fire. He then pulls out another paper and dips the quill into the ink to write when he burps out another scroll. After opening the scroll, he then reads it quietly, 'Thank you for notifying us of their departure, however, we shall head to Twilight's now and wait there until they return.' He then gulps and looks around the castle, seeing that it needs a good cleaning after Twilight started re-sorting her books. He then rolls the two letters up and places them on the map table, then races off to start straightening the castle up for their arrival as nervous sweat trails down his face.

Hours later, just after sunset, a few miles East of Manehattan

Jack looks up at the sky, seeing a cloudless sky with a full moon slowly rising into the sky as the Black Pearl sails towards the sleeping port. He then quietly says, "Furl all sails lads, there are ponies having pleasant dreams...it would be rude of us to wake them now."

Twilight stirs awake in her seat on the train and then yawns sleepily, wondering what woke her when she looks out the window to see the big city of Manehattan with a large ship sailing into the port through a heavy fog while furling its sails. She cocks her head and tries to focus on it when somepony brushes up against her, startling her and making her turn her head to the side. When she sees that it is just Fluttershy, she breathes a sigh of relief saying, "Oh, it is just you Fluttershy. You startled me."

Fluttershy smiles gently at her and says, "I'm sorry for scaring you, I had a little trouble sleeping and saw you looking out the window at something. What is it you were looking at?"

She smiles at her friend and returns to looking outside at the distant ship saying, "I see a rather large ship entering Manehattan's harbor... I don't know why, but I get an uneasy feeling like I have seen it before somewhere." She then casts a spell for seeing a little further away and then tries to get more detail on the ship, then gasps saying, "I have seen it before...in my dreams. What was her name again...Bright Flight? No, that's not right...Dark Colour? That's not right either, Stack Peril?"

Rainbow stirs awake when she hears Twilight mumbling some names and then gets up to look out the window, then sees the large ship out in the harbor and grins saying, "Oh do you mean...Black Pearl?"

Twilight tries to remember what her dream was exactly and gasps saying, "Yes, that's right! What do you know about her?"

She chuckles darkly and seizes the chance to tell a scary story saying, "I've heard...and read tales from many centuries ago saying that there was once a ship that nearly met its end in the Equestrian-Griffonian war. She was the only surviving warship out of hundreds in her class after she faced their Armada...the captain was driven mad from the horrors he witnessed and turned pirate. A few years later, there are rumors saying that he and his crew kidnapped the queens and princesses from various nations...including Princess Celestia herself, having his way with many before ransoming them back to their nations. When Celestia was the last to be freed due to lack of funds, she swore to make the captain pay. A decade or two later, the captain became mysteriously more violent as he began to raid port cities...burning them to the ground and sparing none he came across. When Princess Celestia finally caught up with him on the seas, a gigantic battle took place between the two grand ships. At a great cost, she prevailed against him and sent him along with his ship to their doom..."

Everypony leans in to hear the rest of the story as Rainbow then says, "However, before his ship sunk beneath the waves...he vowed to return and...TAKEOVER EQUESTRIA!!" causing them all to briefly scream with fright before giggling a few moments later

The princess chuckles and rolls her eyes saying, "Good story Rainbow, but there's no way that any of it is true...that is just a legend...I hope..." then looks out the window towards the sleeping city with nervousness settling deep down for some unknown reason.

As the other girls talk amongst each other, Rarity moves beside Twilight and gazes out the window at the big city with a happy sigh saying, "Oh what a beautiful sight Manehattan is at night...don't you agree, Twilight darling?"

Twilight looks over at Rarity and smiles saying, "It sure is quite a sight Rarity, but I can't help but feel that something is off." when she hears the others gasp and turns to look at Pinkie, and sees her rubbing her knee and gulps saying, "Uhm Pinkie...please tell me that you are not having a...pinchy knee."

Pinkie then shakes her head and says, "Nope!" causing the others to sigh with relief and continues saying, "I'm having a very, very pinchy knee!"

The ponies all gasp as Twilight says, "Uh-oh...we all know what that means..." and turns to gaze out the window when she spots something rising above the ship's sails, trying to focus on what it is when she gasps and says, "It's...it's not possible..." while seeing a few flashes appear from one side of the ship. She quickly stands up on her seat and leans against the window shouting, "NO!" as she starts seeing explosions illuminate some parts of the city.

The train begins turning towards the city when the conductor sees the flashes and applies the brakes at full power, quickly backing down the throttle to stop faster. The cars behind him slam against the couplers and continue pushing him further with their weight as he says, "What in the hay is happening to Manehattan?"

The girls hold on as the train screeches to an agonizingly slow stop when Starlight crawls out of the pile first and scrambles to one of the windows, hoping to catch another glimpse at the city's harbor. Unable to get a good view from either side, she hurries outside and looks towards the city's harbor. Her ears fall against her head as she sees multiple fires start to break out as the booms sound out the attacks from the ship.

Twilight helps the others get out of the pile and rushes out to join Starlight, then looks towards the city saying, "Rainbow, let's get a better look at what is happening right now. We need information, not go after the ones attacking until the citizens are safe, understand?"

Rainbow nods and salutes her saying, "Yes ma'am!" then takes off towards the city like a shot. She quickly reaches the city and starts to see buildings collapse, seeing one about to fall on a little filly and races towards her. She barely makes it in time when an explosion singes her tail, not phasing her at all when she sets the filly down outside the city and says, "Stay here and I will go find your mother little one..." then goes to take off when the filly grabs her hand.

The little pegasus filly shakes her head and screams, "DON'T GO! M-MOMMY WON'T WAKE UP...I TRIED SO HARD! WHY WON'T SHE WAKE UP!?"

Her wings go limp as she lets herself fall to the ground while looking at the filly, then hurries towards her and picks her up in her arms saying, "I'm going to take you to my friends okay, they will keep you safe. I have to return to the city and help as many other ponies as I can, okay kiddo?" while tears gather at the corners of her eyes.

Twilight looks around the city, her fear rising as she hears the ponies below screaming in fright. Not knowing what she should do, she hears a pony screaming for help and attempts to locate her. She lands near a partially collapsed building and ducks under a beam to go into the house and sees an earth pony mare using all her strength to keep the roof from falling on her colt saying, "Hold on, I'm coming!"

The mare's legs tremble as she looks over to see Princess Twilight Sparkle making her way towards her and smiles saying, "Please hurry, I can't hold this roof up for much longer!"

The princess leans down and pulls the colt free, then uses her magic to set him outside and turns to her saying, "Hold on, I'm going to use my magic to lift the roof off of you, then you can go to your son. Ready..." and uses her magic to lift the heavy burden off the mare and finally says, "GO!" She watches the mare rush out of the building and slowly sets the roof down when she sees the body of another pony lying in the corner of the room. She goes to check on him, but finds no pulse and hangs her head saying, "I'm sorry I didn't come sooner..." then turns around and starts heading out of the room when a chunk falls and strikes her wing, causing her to hear a sickening crunch and scream out in agony. The pain brings her to her knees, but she forces herself to ignore the pain and continues to head for the door.

The mare watches the princess crawl under the beam, sobbing from the pain and rushes towards her saying, "Oh Princess Twilight, let me help you out of there!" and pulls her away from the building's entrance when it finally collapses completely.

With no other choice, she looks to the mare holding her up and says, "Cover your ears please, I'm going to use the royal voice." then watches the mare shift her arm over to cover both ears and then bellows at full power, "I AM PRINCESS TWILIGHT SPARKLE, ALL CITIZENS OF MANEHATTAN EVACUATE THE CITY!!" She then releases her magic and stands on her own saying, "Thank you for helping me, you need to get to safety outside the city." After thanking her again, the mare picks up her colt and takes off running down the street when an explosion comes from a building behind her. Sighing and thinking of her choices, she is forced to make her way back out of the city when she hears a flapping of wings and looks up to see Fluttershy landing beside her with a worried look on her face.

Fluttershy sees Twilight's wing and then cries out louder than she ever has before, "Rainbow!! Get over here now, Twilight needs help!" and gingerly helps her up when she sees Rainbow land in front of them with a scared look on her face, saying, "We need to get out of here until the danger is gone..."

Barely able to stay conscious from the agony of her shattered wing, she weakly protests and gasps in between words saying, "We need...to stay and...protect them...from the pirates."

The shy pony then glares at Twilight and says, "I'm sorry Twilight, but how can we do that when you are so badly injured...your wingbones are sticking out of the membrane."

Unable to fight it anymore, she passes out saying, "We need to..."

Jack lets the cannons bombard the city for a while before saying, "Ease up on the cannons, it's time to raid the city. Oh and be sure NOT to steal any dresses unless you plan on wearing them, savvy? Other than that...RAID PILLAGE AND PLUNDER YOUR WEASELY BLACK GUTS OUT LADS!"
