Aquaman of Equestria

Getting capture and saved by the king of the Ocean

(Arthur pov)

I sat on a bar stool while drinking another cup of Jack Daniel before saying. “Another.” I demanded from the barkeeper before looking around at the nearly empty bar. I thought about those six girls and boy that I had met earlier before scoffing at the memory and muttering under my breath. “Nothing but a bunch of naive people who don't know how the world really works.” I grunted before taking the offered cup of Jack Daniels.

Just then I overheard a conversation a couple rows down across from me. “So Capper is finally going to pay off his little debt to the boss huh?”

“Yeah, I think I overheard the boss saying that what Capper is bringing in is from another land.” the other person said and I immediately frowned as I could guess what they were talking about.

I stood up and walked over to the two with a huge smile. “Hello boys, I heard something about your boss getting something special?” I asked, sounding interested but wanted to know if it's who I thought it was.

“Back off fishman. It doesn’t concern you.” one guy said as they glared at me. “You may be some big shot here in Kludgetown but that don’t mean you get to stick your nose where it don’t belong.”

“Yeah! So go back to your little pond.” the other said.

I only smiled before grabbing one of the guys shoulders and flung him into a wall before looking at the other one who tried to stab me but much to his shock his knife broke on my skin. “Let me ask again.” I started while lifting him up by his collar. “Where. Is. Your. Boss!?” I demanded while without looking, knocking his partner out when he tried to rush me.

“Fuck off fishman! I don’t need to tell you anything!” the man yelled as he struggled in my grip while trying to pry my hand off his shirts collar.

I just rolled my eyes before smashing his head into the table causing him to bleed. “Want to tell me now or would you rather I beat you senseless?” I asked while shaking him a little to focus back on my face.

The guy just groans in pain, feeling a little dizzy after the blow to his head. I then hear yelling before turning only to get punched in the face by the guy’s buddy followed by another hitting me with a wooden chair.

I frowned before tossing the one I was holding through the bar window then grabbed another chair and smashed it against the other guy’s head, breaking it before punching him through the bar wall and into an alleyway.

“Everyone book it!” the third guy shouted before the rest of them started to run.

I was able to grab one of them by the leg and lifted him up before saying. “Either you tell me what I want to know or I feed you to the sharks as a midday snack.” I warned while glaring at him.

“O-ok! Ok! I’ll talk!” the guy shouted, no doubt fearing for his life. “Verko was recently told by a man named C-Capper, who has a debt to Verko, that he got him a group of foreigners! Six girls one boy! T-that’s all I know!”

“....thanks,” I said before slamming him into a wall; knocking him out before walking away.

(Twilight POV)

I slowly woke up a groan before hissing in pain due to a splitting headache. I tried to reach up with my hand to rub my aching head only for something to stop it, making me go wide eyed in shock and looked down and immediately realized two things. One, I was currently chained to a wall and second, my Magicrystal was being covered up! “What the?!” I tried to struggle against the chains but it was no use! No matter how hard I struggled, the chains were firmly clamped around my wrists and legs. “What’s going on!? Where am I?!”

“T-Twilight? Is that you?” I heard Spike call out and looked around for him.

I looked over and saw Spike, Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Applejack and Rainbow Dash all chained to the wall as well. “What's going on?! Where are we?” I asked them while seeing Rainbow Dash trying to break free from her restraints.

“I’ll tell you what’s going on! That Capper bastard tricked us and got us locked up!” Rainbow Dash yelled angrily as she pulled against her restraints as hard as she could but nothing happened, angering her even more.

Fluttershy was crying and Rarity was beyond shocked at the situation. “B-but he seemed so nice.” Pinkie said while her hair was getting dull and flat, a clear indication that she was growing upset.

“That may be but he was also pretty shady as well. Can’t believe we fell for his little trick.” Applejack said, glaring down at the ground.

“To be fair, I didn't think it would work, miss Twilight Sparkle.” A familiar voice said and we turned to see Capper standing there with a grin on his face.

“You! Why you no good, dirty, lying, backstabbing piece of shit!” yelled Rainbow Dash and if it weren’t for the chains, she would have charged at the man and kick his ass.

Capper laughed before getting closer to the bars. “You girls must be wondering why I got you plocked up?” He asked while having a feral grin.

“Pretty sure we can take a good guess ya no good varmint.” Applejack said with a glare.

He grinned before leaning on one of the cell bars. “Well I have a good friend named Verko that I owe a lot of money to and as you can see.” he started while pulling out his pocket and showed they were empty. “I don't have the money, so I thought that the next best thing I can give him are the Elements of Harmony with a bonus princess that should clear my debt and then some.” He finished while chuckling.

“B-but doing this will make you the most wanted man in Equestria! Not only that, you could be starting a war for doing this!” Twilight said, trying to reason with Capper.

Much to my surprise and both Applejack and Rainbow Dash's anger, he started laughing at us before smirking. “I guess that fish freak was right…you six don’t know how the world really works..do you?” He said while grinning at me and my friends. “You think your princesses have the power to make people like us do want she wants….HAHAHAHAHAH! That's fucking rich!” He said while continuing to laugh at us as he left.

“You fucking bastard! When I get my hands on you, you’re dead!” Rainbow Dash yelled at the leaving Capper, her voice filled to the brim with rage and hate.

I looked down, disappointed in myself on how I didn't see any of this coming.

(Third person pov)

Capper stepped out of the prison room and looked at his four hired muscles. “Make sure they don't escape. I want them in one piece so I can deliver them to Verko.” he ordered while going into his office.

“We know how to guard things punk.” one of the goons said and Capper rolls his eyes.

As they played cards near the prison room they heard a loud knock on the door. “Hello I got a delivery for Jack.” The stranger said in a deep voice, one of the guards stood up and looked through the peephole only for someone’s fist to punch right through the door and made it fly off the hinges and caused the first guard to be crushed underneath the door. “I have a delivery for a Jackass~.” Arthur said while smirking at the other three guards.

The three of them immediately pulled out crossbows that were loaded with steel bolts before firing them at Author. “Die motherfucker!”

They watched in shock and horror as their steel bolts bounced right off his chest and stomach before he just chuckled. “Guys like you don't learn.” Arthur said before rushing towards one and shoulder tackle him through a wall before grabbing the other one and choke-slamming him through the table.

The final guy pulls out a bottle and tosses it at Author, causing to shatter upon impacting his body and releasing a strange liquid that began to sizzle and burn his flesh, making him shout in pain as he tries to get the acid off of him.

“Fuck!!” Arthur yelled in pain before sucker punching the third guy hard enough to send him flying through the prison wall. He looked around for a moment before finding a mug of water and poured it on the acid burn, sighing in relief as the acid was washed away.

After a moment he walked towards the prison room and found the Elements and Spike along with a heavily bleeding knocked out guard. “I guess you guys don't learn quickly, huh?” He asked while with a bit of effort rip the cell door off and tossed it out of the way.

“What? What are you doing here?” Rarity asked him as they were all surprised to see him.

“And why are you helping us?” Twilight asked next.

Arthur was quiet for a moment before sighing. “Maybe I want to help you guys because you remind me of someone who had the same ideas about friendship.” he finally answered while freeing them from their restraints.

“Sure. Bet this is a trick and you’re trying to trap us as well or worse.” Rainbow Dash said as she rubbed her wrists which were sore from her trying to break out of the chains.

“Believe what you want, I at least am brutally honest with you about my intentions.” Arthur said while helping Twilight off the ground. “I also know that if you really need help in saving your home you're going to need someone who knows how things go out here.” he finished while walking out of the prison room and towards Capper office before kicking it down. “Get out here you damn street rat!!” Arthur growled while looking at a shaking Capper.

“W-what are you doing here!?” Capper demanded, trying his best to hide the fear in his voice. “This doesn’t c-concern you fishman!”

Arthur answered by smacking him into a wall before violently grabbing his collar and smashing him against walls, tables and a few wooden crates before pulling him up. “Want to keep living street rat?”

Capper just groans in pain while the Main Six and Spike stared in shock at such a brutal scene. “H-hey, I think he’s had enough s-sir.” Spike said to Author.

“Spike, listen closely, guys like this don't deserve mercy.” Arthur said before looking Capper straight in the eyes. “Now I heard that you tried to sell them to some rat bastard, right?” He questions Capper while holding him up in the air.

“V-Verko…yes…” Capper weakly said, figuring it would be better to just talk than risk getting even more beat up.

Arthur frowned at that. “You mean you owe money to that guy!?” Arthur growled while tightening his grip.

Capper shakily nodded his head. “Y-yes I did. A-and if I didn’t pay soon h-he would have my head!”

“.......Too bad,” Arthur simply said before headbutt him knocking him out cold before dropping him onto the ground. “Alright let's go.” he said while walking past Capper office and noticed a map before taking it.

“B-but what about C-Capper? Sure he tried to sell us but i-if what he says is true, then we shouldn’t leave him to die.” Spike said, looking at Capper.

“Spike, like I said before you and those six don't know how the world really works,” Arthur said while looking down at him. “People around here don't care about each other, like I said the strong survive and the weak die and not only that at that very moment he was willing to sell you and your friends just to save his own ass.” he finished while walking out of the room.

“Would you stop saying that! I don’t care how the world works! I don’t care if the ‘strong survive and the weak die’! It’s wrong to just leave him like this to die at the hands of someone who’s probably way worse!” Spike shouted angrily.

“THEN YOU HELP THAT SORRY EXCUSE OF A HUMAN TRASH, BECAUSE I ONLY CAME HERE TO HELP YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS, BOY!!” Arthur roared into Spike’s face, causing him to fall backwards onto the ground.

“How about you back off buddy!” Rainbow Dash said as she and Applejack got in between him and Spike, both glaring at him.

Arthur grunted before tossing the map to twilight and walking away. “As I thought, every single one of those people in Equestria is nothing but a bunch of dumbasses.” He growled while Twilight and Fluttershy ran after him.

Arthur turned towards them with a heated glare. “If you want to save that jackass who almost sold you guys as slaves to some Fat rat bastard, that's your problem but I didn't come here and stick my neck out just for an idiotic little brother to play some kind of hero card.”

“L-look, I appreciate you helping us but do n-not speak to my brother like that again.” Twilight said, eyes narrowing a bit before shaking her head. “But besides that, look, we get it, we don’t know anything about how this area of the world works but…” she pauses and then sighs. “We could use your help still. You are the only one here who was willing to help us without wanting anything in return and you know this place better than any of us.”

Arthur looked at her before sighing in annoyance before much to Fluttershy and Twilight surprise he had a genuine smile on his face. “Damn it you remind me too much of her……fine I'll play nice.” he said while walking back towards the group while Fluttershy whispered to Twilight about Arthur.

“A-are you sure about this?” Fluttershy asked her.

“Not really, but we could really use the help but don’t worry, if he tries anything, I’ll be prepared.” Twilight whispered back.

“Alright let's get some things straight.” Arthur started getting their attention. “From this moment on when I tell you to do something, do it because trust me…there are somethings that won't hesitate to kill you, next stay close to each other; there's some people who could easily trick you into doing something. And lastly do not try to befriend anyone along the way.” he finished while crossing his arms and looking at them.

“We understand though we didn’t really try and befriend anyone here as we were focused on trying to find the hippogriffs.” Twilight said.

Arthur nodded and turned. “Twilight you're in front with me, Applejack and Rainbow dash on our rear and Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie and Spike in the middle. We are going to the hippogriff's homeland.” he said before he started walking with twilight next to him.

(Tempest pov)

We just arrived at the location and started looking around the area to search for the Princess of Friendship and her friends. “Search the area. Question everyone. Leave no stone unturned.” I ordered them and my soldiers set off to do what I ordered, questioning the people of Kludgetown about what they know while also searching various places. The people were tight lipped at first but that was until we started using money to get information out of them and they were more than happy to tell us everything.

After learning that the princess and her friends were taken by a man named Capper, we set off to his location to get the princess or interrogate him should he not have them.

It only took a few minutes before arriving at the place and immediately noticed that whoever did this was strong as I saw unconscious bodyguards before noticing an unconscious man that fit Cappers description and I pointed at him while looking back at my soldiers. “Take him back to the ship for questioning, I want answers.” I ordered while looking down and saw a tiny puddle of blood on the ground.

I just scoffed before I turned back and started walking back to the airship, knowing I wouldn’t get answers from searching the building. ’I doubt those seven did this. Someone helped them. And they’re strong which means we need to be careful should we run into them.’ I thought as I walked while clenching my fist in rage.

An hour later, me, a couple of soldiers and Capper, who was tied to a chair, stood in the brig of the airship, getting ready to question him. I then grabbed a bucket of ice cold water and tossed it onto Capper, waking him up with a startled gasp. “Wake up filth, I have a couple of questions for you to answer.” I said while grabbing a chair and sat down in front of him.

“What?! Huh?! Where am I?!” Capper asked, rapidly looking from side to side and tried to move but quickly discovered he was bound to the chair. “What’s going on?!”

I glared at him with cold eyes before waving over one of the soldiers to bring over something. And I watched all the color drained from his face when he saw the different types of torturing tools. “Now it depends on how good you are at cooperating, otherwise.” I started before grabbing a pair of pliers and had a soldier hold down his right arm while I gripped his hand. “Well see how many fingers you will lose before you start talking…am I understood?” I finished while giving him an evil smile.

Capper gulps before quickly nodding his head. “I-I’ll talk! I’ll tell you anything you want!”

“Now first question: Where is the princess of Friendship?” I asked while placing the pliers on his ring finger.

“T-they’re searching for the h-hippogriffs! That’s all I know! They were looking for the hippogriffs to save their little land!” Capper shouted, his breathing quickening a bit as he stared at the pliers on his finger in fear.

“And who's with them?” I press while making the pliers squeeze a little harder onto his finger.

Capper winces a bit in pain before responding, “A-Arthur! He’s someone you d-do not want to fight head on! H-he’s like this fish man or something! I don’t know! All I-I know is is that he can breathe underwater and stuff and is practically immune to everything or at least h-has strong skin! B-blades and stuff don’t work on h-him!”

“Hmmmmm.” I thought for a moment before nodding and removing the pliers away from his finger. “Thank you. Set a course for hippogriffs land…. and get rid of the rat.” I said while walking away.

I didn’t see it, but I knew my men nodded before hearing footsteps approaching Capper who began to panic. “W-wait, what are you going to do me?” he asked them but got no response.

I left the interrogation and went outside onto the deck and looked at the evening sky. ’Soon I will get what I was promised and make everyone regret ever crossing me again~’ I thought before smiling evilly.
