Pirates danger, intrigue and sailing on the high seas! With friends and foes on all sides, Equestria's royal Elements of Harmony will uncover dangerous plots, unmask mysterious strangers, and seek peace. The question is, who will stand at the end?
And more proof of SpikeXChysalis shipping in this story. I wonder how those two will react to that. Or this could turn harem. It would be interesting to say the least.
Dearest confidante is crissy calling it now and blue blood get your head out of your ass at let a real man get the job done (aka Spike). and Dash and co better get on the SS Spike before he sails off to parts unknown.
“As am I,” the dragon said, his tail curled up along his back like a chameleon’s. “I’m not afraid of exactly what you would do, Dash, but you come from a powerful family, as do the rest of you mares.
In that case, you are stupid. Ever had a Sonic Rainboom to the face? No? Then think more carefully about what you say, dragon.
3459755 3459894 I think you underestimate Rainbow Dash severely. She's probably fast enough to escape a dragon's fire breath, especially one so young. Not taking her seriously is dumb on Spike's part, unless this story pushes for Spike to become some overpowered hero. In that case, meh.
3460159 Well, seeing as Spike can literally bathe in molten rock without even caring, I doubt a sonic rainboom could hurt him. Also, Rainbow Dash would never try or even want to kill Spike unless he did something truly despicable.
3460265 It's true that he's resistent to heat, but not to force. The impact might very well kill him, or at least seriously injure him. Spike may believe himself above Rainbow Dash as a physical threat, but then, he wasn't there to see this:
Whether she would do that is another matter entirely; yet to just dismiss her like that is quite arrogant and foolish.
Addendum: That is, unless I completely misunderstood what he was trying to say. I don't think I did, but who knows.
3460281 So, the fact that Spike isn't afraid of a noblemare heiress hurting him is "arrogant" and "foolish", despite the fact that:
A. It is hard to perform a sonic rainboom on the fly, as Dash has repeatedly shown in the show. It takes concentration and altitude, something hard to achieve in a close-quarters fight.
B. By the time she would manage to achieve the speed, Spike could be well into cover or hiding where she can't find him, or even worse, among targets she wouldn't dare hurt, like her friends.
C. The video is not of a sonic rainboom. A sonic rainboom is about the sudden compression and release of air into a veritable sound-based explosion that produces a circular rainbow, likely by bending the water moisture in the air to create the colors. I have no idea where that just came from, but I digress: that is not a sonic rainboom, and the impact can't be that bad, seeing as how Rainbow Dash clearly plows into the already heavily-damaged barn. If it's not going to hurt her, then how in the world could it hurt a grown-up Spike, since that defies physics even in this place's universe?
D. Dash is awesome, true, but the force of the blow is equal to both parties. Who is going to get hurt more: the person falling out of the sky onto a slab of concrete, or the concrete itself?
E. Anthro ponies and dragons behave and use their powers a bit differently in this universe.
F. How can you be sure Spike won't get wings of his own?
3460306 If this universe is so different from the show in that regard, then yes, he probably doesn't have anything to fear. Again, if this Spike is built to be so powerful that she couldn't possibly hurt him then you can simply disregard my posts. I don't particularly like that situation, but it's your story, so do what you wish.
3460159 dude last I checked he has been a modestly well off slave. For years on his own with no help while This Dash has been on a cushy pillow most of her life. Puls she is cocky as hell while Spike is like a Samira calm like the sea holding back a mighty storm of power
3461843 What you call calm struck me as arrogant and dismissive instead. But, we shall see. I will say that I find it difficult to like him, and perhaps I see his behaviour in a slightly worse light than it was meant to be seen.
3461980 dude ya kind of are he what from misfit of caterlot to schooner boy, then slave, then honorable pirate captain. so he kind of gots the right to pull a Jack reacher
3462042 /shrug We shall see. My impressions are what they are. I've liked the story so far, I just didn't like this Spike as a character as his type usually rubs me the wrong way; yet I'm also curious how things work out from here.
Great chapter! I especially like the conversation between Spike and Dash, shows how serious all of this romance between him and the six mares can get. The way it looks how, Spike may have to break some hearts on this trip.

3459503 Ever flown straight into a geyser of dragon fire? No? Didn't think so.

.......well he kinda already knows the danger and it probable not going to hurt as much mainly hes a semi-full grown totally buff dragon

3500374 That was a good assumption, save for the fact this came out several months before that was released. It's still good source material, though.
LOL Spike looks like John Rambo.
3567914 I seriously thought he would be more the like the wolf in this comic strip.sabrina-online.com/strips/SabOnline106.GIF
