For over a week, the east coast of Equestria has been haunted by something lurking in the waters. There have been reports by merchant ships, coastal cities and towns, even pirates, that there is a beast hiding under the waves. Those who have witness the dark beast, say it appears when Luna's moon is high, then disappears beneath the waves when Celestia's sun rises with complete silence.
When Twilight Sparkle and her friends are tasked by Princess Celestia to search for the monster, and hopefully, ask it to leave, they will soon find out that the beast hiding in the shadows is not what they expected, nor is it a beast at all.

(November 13, 2014) Made it to the popular box!! Amazing!
On the 1-5 anthro scale, how anthro are they?
1 being pony and 5 being human
5267068
I would say between 3 and 4.
5267230 Alright, so almost like EQG? just without hooves instead of feet?
5267239
They have hooves and hands (four fingers).
5267254 Normalish faces or do they have muzzle things
5267265
They have muzzles, horns, wings, the perky ears, and tails.
5267302 Got it
5266345 Motherfucker, you better hope we don't see you on this part of the internet again, or there will be trouble. Like the fun, it may even be doubled. If that happens, you'll be up shit creek without a paddle.
While I usually HATE anthro stories, this might be the exception.

So what kind of submarine do you guys think it is? I hope it is a Typhoon-Class Submarine.

Puns a fucking way...
YES! FINALLY! A GOOD SUBMARINE FIC!
5268550 it's just the picture. We won't know for sure until the author reveals it.

Look at the title screen and point your curser over the black line, then read.
There are some strange spaces here. Some paragraphs have a line between and some don't.
No Better Friend, No Worse Enemy is a story I've been meaning to read for a while. A story like this from the same author might mean I should get to it faster.
USS Houston (CA-30) was nicknamed the "Galloping Ghost of the Java Coast"
5268825 thanks
5267367 Talk about getting your beauty sleep...

You like my submarine? It's long, hard, and full of seamen.

Why did I take the time to make this?
Well damn, why didn't I see this till now?
5273591 hey were not out of the water just yet.........
I regret nothing......
I sense great promise in this story...

My comment section is now turning into a pun contest
Man, I am simply DROWNING in puns.
I wonder what nation the Sub belongs to.
Or if it has nuclear tipped missiles.
I was expecting it to be an Ekranoplan, a Soviet Ground Effect Vehicle that was known as the Caspian Sea Monster.
YE-E-E-E-ES-S-S-S!!
Hope to see the next chapter soon!
I like Aegis interaction with RD and AJ.
Yaaaaaayyyyy the story is back!!!!!!!!
Surprise anthro
Doesn't matter, I'm glad this is back. Not enough sub stories around here.
6578432
Considering the spoiler in the description and the name of the story, the sub is a US Navy Submarine (Nuclear). That's what SSN stands for in Navy terminology IIRC.
I hope the Navy Submarine does a Emergency Blow. if don't know what is a Emergency Blow.

5281737 You're complaining of reponies in your comments' section because you wrote a horsefic about a show that was built on the bleached white puns of long-dead ponies beaten into the ground...?
Quit horsing around
God, I wish it was just the Mane 6. These OCs are getting annoying. Why were Aegis and Applejack fighting? There was nothing leading up to that moment. It just came out of nowhere and did nothing but bring the pace to a halt.
And why did Rainbow Dash get so angry near the end? Honestly, there were several points in this chapter that just felt really OOC.
Is it a Boomer ( Ballistic Missile Sub) or an Attacker ( Attack Class )?
Must be Prench and surrenders easy.
5267302 why write them as anthro though? Is it important they be anthro for the story?
More!
Aren't these two different cities? Why terror in Fillydelphia if the sub appeared in Manehattan?
6578754
I think it is supposed to be the USS Asheville which is a fast attack sub.
So, I just finished the chapter and then I see an advertisement. It says "Salti bracelet for boat lovers"
What does it mean!!??
6578987 would be interesting if it was Boomer lol. Ponies vs ICBMS. who will win?
6579253
Problem is, the target could only really be line of sight, and I don't think they would have codes to change the target location of the missiles. Though I am not sure how those inertial navigation systems are setup. To hit anything over the horizon they would need new maps and a way to translate those coordinates into numbers the internal systems of the missiles would be able to interpret.
But a nuke into Canterlot would just be mean. The city might just go on and slide into the valley.
6579377 yes it would be.
6578663 LOL that would be epic and i'm sure that'll scare them shitless
6579458
Don't whales also rise up suddenly, only to crash back down on the surface, spraying water everywhere?
Rainbow would probably say her awesomeness "scared" the sea serpent out of the ocean too, but she's too modest to actually voice that.
the extra chapter is more than enough of an apology for your long hiatus. WELCOME BACK!!!!!!!
