The Pearl found itself being pulled down farther towards the bottom of the sea, the light getting darker and darker. Many men had lost their grips, the sea now claiming them forever. But for those who held on, they could feel the pressure getting heavier and heavier and heavier. But as their plunge continued, they found that it was soon beginning to ease up, and the light was getting brighter. Though they were traveling in one direction, they appeared to be heading towards the surface again. With one mighty jolt, the Black Pearl breached, finally being spit back out of the sea. The men coughed as water spilled out the sides of the boat, as some cannons and other supplies spill out with the water. Jack was the first to his feet, he quickly looked around, trying to find out where they had ended up.

"Jesus, Mary, and Joseph! Where the hell we be!?" Yelled Barbossa finally standing up completely soaked in water. He too began to survey the area.
"Nothing looks too different! A whole lot of nothin'!"

"No mate, look at that!" Jack pointed forward, in front was a massive island, much bigger than any of them had seen before. Many were quick to point that out.

"Bloody hell, That's huge? Are we back near Madagascar?" Gibbs would ask, but Jack had a strange feeling it wasn't.

"No, no I don't think so." Jack looked back down at the compass, it was pointing towards the island. What was left of the crew were now on their feet, and were in disarray. They were all rushing around, seeing how much damage they took from plunging into the sea. A quick check discovered their food had been ruined, rum swept away, and their gunpowder wet.

"Captain! All our food is ruined by the sea! We need to go get more supplies unless we plan to starve to death before getting back to the Caribbean!" Yelled Pintel.

"Yeah, it washed away the rum to it did." Ragetti added in.

"Aye! The rum is gone too!" Pintel repeated. Jack let out a long sigh.

"Why... why is the rum always gone?" He said to himself before looking back to his men. "Lower the colors, we be heading for that island to stock back up before going home." Jack said in defeat.

"Home!? Jack you can't be giving up now can you!?" Gibbs asked, to which Barbossa also began to look at Jack.

"Aye... We are nowhere near where we were. Besides, these waters are dangerous and... strange. We need to get back to the Caribbean." Jack relented, causing Barbossa to step forward.

"Though I agree we should be gettin' back, why ye be ordering us to ditch the colors? Ye know as well as I that rolling into port without colors be just as bad as rolling in with the Jolly Roger herself." Barbossa pointed out, now smirking.

"It be easier to explain. I'd rather not stretch my neck while we are here." Said Jack. Soon the flag would be lowered as the pearl approaches the land.

Horseshoe Bay
Baltimare
1:30 PM

The coast guard stationed in Baltimare began to raise alarms. Ponies scramble to get to their stations as the alarm rang out to all personnel. A stallion rushes to the HQ Where his superior was waiting for him.

"Ma'am! I came as quickly as I could! Why are we raising an alarm!?" The stallion asked as he saluted. A mare in an officer's uniform turns to her subordinate.

"We have an unknown vessel approaching our port. It's a very outdated ship, looks to be almost 200 years out of date!" The mare barked, she had a very serious expression.

"What flag is it flying?" The stallion asked, stepping closer.

"It isn't flying one! I'm enacting protocol O-L 1728! We must notify Princess Celestia immediately!" The mare shouted. "Get on the telegraph and notify the Princess about the strange vessel!"

"Yes Ma'am!" The Stallion rushed into the communications room and got ont the telegraph. He began to send a message in morse code directly to Canterlot.

Canterlot

Celestia was sitting at her dining room table, she had invited Twilight and her friends to Canterlot, along with Cadence. She and Luna needed them for an important meeting. The four Princess sat together, enjoying lunch together as Twilight's friends joined them. They were discussing the diplomatic relations with all the nations surrounding Equestria. Since Twilight's school had officially brought the nations together, it was finally time to do so at the government level, making their unity official. The meeting was going by well as the ponies ate cucumber sandwiches and drank tea.

"If we are to establish this new alliance with our neighbors, we need to make sure we accommodate every species, that is why i invited your friends Twilight, you and your friends know the most about our neighboring nations." Celestia said, looking at Twilight's friends.

"We would be honored Princess!" Twilight said with a smile.

"Yes! I can't wait to see Prince Rutherford again!" Pinkie exclaimed, her voice echoing in the room.

"It would be nice to see Dragon Lord Ember again. I'm pretty sure I could convince her to come here and officially form an alliance." Said Spike.

"King Thorax would be more than willing to form a alliance, the Changelings need all the friends they can get." Starlight chimed in. The meeting was going by perfectly until a guard pony barges into the dining room, disrupting the meeting.

"Princess! Princess Celestia!" The guard yelled with urgency in his voice. Celestia looked to the guard, a rather annoyed look on her face, but she kept her elegance.

"Yes soldier? What is it that you need?" She asked him, her voice only showing a twinge of annoyance.

"I am so sorry to disturb you Princess, but I have urgent news from Baltimare!" The Guard began to explain. "The coast guard there have enacted Protocol O-L 1728!" Celestia's eyes widened at the news.

"Protocol O-L 1728!?" Celestia exclaimed, shock, surprise, and a bit of excitement was in her voice. "He finally returned!? I must see him immediately!" Celestia stood up, many of the ponies present were confused, except for Luna and Cadence, and too looked a bit shocked. The guard then quickly made his leave.

"Princess Celestia, who is it that you need to see?" Twilight spoke up, Celestia turned to her and gave her a smile.

"A dear friend who I thought forgot about me. La Buse." She replied, Twilight and her friends repeated the name to themselves, finding it to be an odd name. "He and I met over 20 years ago, he was supposed to come back every 5 years, but this is the first time he has returned! I must see him. We'll have to postpone this meeting."

"Sister, may we come too, I would love to finally meet this La Buse character you told me so much about." Luna said as she too stood up.

"Of course dear sister, you may come... in fact if you all want I would like you all to come. La Buse is a very close friend to me, and I would love for you all to meet him." Celestia said.

"Of course Princess, I would love to meet any friend of yours!" Twilight would say as her and her friend stood up and got close to the princess. She instructed them that they were to teleport to Baltimare's Horseshoe bay, with all four Alicorn's they used their magic to teleport. With a bright flash, they arrived at the docks. Many ponies and coast guard ponies were at the docks as they noticed a strange ship getting closer, one they have never seen before. They were eager to see what it was. The group who teleported quickly all gave each other space as Celestia looked off into the bay, a large smile on her face. It has been 20 years since she had seen her friend. They agreed to meet back up every 5 years, but not once had he ever shown up, until now. Celestia was too happy to see her friend to be upset at him having her wait so long. However, her smile quickly began to dissipate, as a pitch black ship was nearing the docks.

"That... That is not his ship..." Celestia said aloud.

The Black Pearl

The ship pulls into port and releases its anchor. Jack still had an uneasy feeling about this island. It didn't look recognizable, and something about it felt off. Before any of the crew would step off, Jack approached them and quickly held up his hand.

"Wait men! Let me step ashore first." He quickly said.

"And what be the reason Jack?" Barbossa crossed his arms and gave him a skeptical look.

"Something is not right here, I can feel it. I don't know what, but I get the feeling where are somewhere we are not meant to be." Jack would inform, his crew look to each other, not sure if they believe him.

"I say, ye gone mad! I be now going to shore!" Barbossa brushed him off and began to walk down the ramp to the docks.

"Hector!" Jack yelled as he followed him. Both Barbossa and Jack would step off the ship and onto the deck, they turned to shore and were dumbfounded by what they saw, multiple brightly colored horses, all staring at them in shock. They just stared at the two, as if they were aliens. The two then catch sight of a rather large one, with a bright white coat, and wavy hair. She had a large horn and wings. They both could not believe what they were looking at.

"What in blazes!?" Barbossa yelled out, causing most of the ponies to flinch from the pitch of his voice.

"We are definitely not in Singapore." Jack commented. Suddenly, the large one with a white coat steps forward. This spooked Barbossa, who quickly drew his sword and pistol.

"Aye get back ya bloody beastie!" Barbossa threatened. “Who in their right mind be taking horses and make them look funny?” Barbossa said to himself. Many ponies had the look of fear as Barbossa drew his sword. The white horse even looked a bit taken back by his quickness to violence. Barbossa stood his ground, when the most incredible thing happened.

"Put your weapon down human, I mean you no harm." She said in a soft calming tone. Barbossa and Jack's eyes would go wide, not expecting the creature to talk.

"How the… How in the devil are you able to talk ya bloody horse!?" Barbossa called to her, she shook her head before speaking again.

"I am not a horse, I am a pony." She replied, only getting a puzzling look from Jack.

"Pony? What's the difference? Ain't they the same?" Jack placed a finger to his chin and pondered his own question.

"Captain!? What be the problem!?" Yelled gibbs, standing on top of the ramp, looking down at the two men.

"Nothing!" They both turned and yelled in unison. But it was too late, Gibbs could see all the colorful ponies from where he was standing.

"What in blazes... I be a bit squiffy me thinks." Said Gibbs, pulling out his flask and taking a long drag from it.

"Where is La Buse?" Celestia finally said, gaining the two men's attention again.

"La Buse? Who be that?" Barbossa asked, quite rudely.

"La Buse! The only other human to arrive here. Only he knew the way here." Celestia informed. Both men look at each other, still confused as to what the winged horse was talking about, but Gibbs's eyes widened at the name.

"La Buse!? The Buzzard?" Gibbs would ask stepping onto the dock.

"Yes! You know him!?" Celestia felt herself getting excited once again.

"The Buzzard? What kind of man be naming himself that!?" Barbossa looked at Gibbs with a very unamused face.

"A man whose very treasure we be seeking Barbossa! Olivier Levasseur!" Both mens eyes widen and quickly look to the white horse again. She knew Olivier Levasseur? But how? Where their path had run cold, suddenly grew warmer again.

"Devil be playing tricks on us. There is no way this can be real." Barbossa said to Jack and Gibbs.

"Aye, tis rather silly dream this is. We should be waken up any minute now." Gibbs added, all three men agreed to that idea.

"If I may interject, none of you are sleeping. If you were, I would be able to enter your dreams." Said a blue horse, now stepping forward to in the white one.

"This be maddening! You talk all crazy!" Barbossa barked back at her.

"I've got an idea to see if we be dreaming." Jack said, before quickly slapping Gibbs across the face. Gibbs' whole head turns around.

"GAH! Jack! What in Sam Hill ye be doing!?" Gibbs yelled, turning back towards Jack.

"That hurt, didn't it? That proves ye not be dreamin." Jack said with a smug smile on his face.

"I now feel inclined to prove to ye yeself ain't dreaming either!" Gibbs held up his hand and was prepared to slap Jack back.

"You slap your captain, it's to the brig with ya." Jack pointed at Gibbs with a serious face.

"Ye ain't me Captain, so I'll do it." Said Barbossa, quickly slapping Jack in his face. Jack's head turns all the way around, he lifts his hand to his cheek before looking back at Hector. He was chuckling, feeling pretty satisfied with himself. Jack responded with his own slap to Barbossa, His head completely turning around as well. Barbossa quickly looks back at Jack, now scowling at him. Celestia shakes her head at the stupidity before taking another step.

"Gentleman please, allow me to explain." The White Horse spoke up. Barbossa lifted his sword back up to her.

"I said not another bleedin step! Don't make me...What in the...!?" A yellow aura surrounds Barbossa's sword. It was then yanked out of his hand and seemed to float in mid air. Both men watch it, their eyes wide as dinner plates. The sword was then stabbed into the sand next to the white horse.

"Now do I have your attention?" She asked, but all three men just stare at her in silence. "Good. My name is Princess Celestia, Ruler of all of Equestria. I need you all to stay calm, I believe you all came here by accident, and I can help you get back to your world." Celestia then turns to her most faithful student who then was approaching her.

"Princess Celestia, how do you know these creatures? How do you know they are from a different world?" Asked Twilight, whispering in her teacher's ear.

"Long story, I... I will tell you later." Celestia whispered back. She then focussed back on the three men who all still look like they have seen a ghost. "Please, I truly mean you no harm, I wish to help you."

"... Ye be telling the truth?" Asked Jack, to which Celestia nodded. Jack looks to Barbossa, giving him a quick look. Barbossa gives him a look of uncertainty, but decides it would be in their best interest to receive help from these strange creatures. Barbossa holsters his pistol and Jack looks back to Celestia.
"Very well then. Pray tell, where can we get a drink?"

Equestria is in it's modern day, but just like in the show, their tech is very very limited.
