//------------------------------// // The Boy Who Could Fly // Story: Lego World Adventures // by markzilla6895 //------------------------------// Fluttershy and Sunset Shimmer were crossing into the Pirate Region after splitting up from the others. They had managed to catch the next ferry to the town of Port Royal at the last minute, in hopes of finding a Chaos Emerald. Sunset was currently on the phone with Rarity, who had reported of their acquirement of a Chaos Emerald from Discord and the apparent identity of their new enemy. "You sure he said 'Maleficent?'" The red-and-yellow haired girl asked. "Okay, thank you. We'll all meet up at Tails' workshop once we've found the remaining five." She hung up and turned to her timid, but at the same time excited, friend. "You okay, Fluttershy?" "I am, though a little worried about the possibility of facing less-than-friendly pirates." "Well, good thing I know a thing or two about sword fighting back when I was evil," Sunset smiled softly as she gazed out across the ocean. "Besides, most pirates stick to their own thing." "I suppose..." Fluttershy sighed as a blue bird rested on the rail beside them. It chirped seemingly in a panicked tone. Fluttershy, being able to understand animals, looked at in concern. "What's that, birdie?" The bird chirped again. "Your family? Captured by a fat man with a mustache?" She covered her mouth in shock. "That's horrible!" She gently picked up the bird. She could now see it was wearing a pendant of sorts, in the shape of a gem. "Your name is Lily?" The bird chirped in confirmation. "Well, don't worry, Lily, we'll help you get your family back." "'Fat man with a mustache?'" Sunset snickered a little. "She must mean Dr. Eggman," Fluttershy gently stroked Lily's head as the ferry continued its voyage. "She said her family was taken by him and placed inside his robots." "Well, we can help them after we find the Emeralds," Sunset replied with confidence before the boat suddenly lurched to a stop. "...that can't be good." The two girls ran to the starboard side of the boat to see a large pirate ship had docked itself right next to it. "Attention, ye scurvy dogs!" The pirate ship's captain bellowed. "This be Captain Hook of the Jolly Roger! Surrender the Chaos Emerald ye have on board, along with all yer valuables!" A group of the pirates swung on ropes to the ferry, brandishing their weapons threateningly at the passengers. "He's after the Chaos Emeralds too?" Sunset growled. "He must be working with Maleficent." She quickly disarmed an attacking pirate, and took his sword. "Come on, Fluttershy." "Where are we going?" Fluttershy held Lily protectively as Sunset fought her way through Hook's crew. "To have a chat with the captain," Sunset grinned as she grabbed one of the ropes and motioned for Fluttershy to join her. Climbing into Sunset's arms, the Lego Team leader quickly swung across the ocean and onto the deck of Captain Hook's ship. "Looking for us, Hook?" "Swoggle me eyes!" The pirate captain jumped back in surprise as he saw the two right in front of him. He dropped the Emerald Radar as a result. He quickly drew his sword and leaped down to the deck. Sunset raised her own weapon in defense. Hook began by thrusting towards her, to which she parried and pushed him back. They crossed blades back and forth while Fluttershy held Lily close. As their duel continued, the pink-haired minifig noticed the water was starting to bubble furiously. A large shape suddenly rose out of the sea, knocking Fluttershy onto her back. A large woman made out of black, purple and white Lego bricks with wild white hair, bright red lips, a beauty mark on the lower right side of her evilly grinning face and the lower half of her body was that of a black octopus. "About time you showed up, Ursula!" Hook shouted impatiently. The giant sea witch laughed deeply, causing the boat to shake a little from the sound vibrations. Her tentacles slithered onto the ship, trying to grab Fluttershy. Sunset was distracted long enough for Hook to disarm her and then knocked her down. "You're out of your league, girl," he pointed his weapon at her chest. "I've been practicing with the sword for years, and you're just an amateur at best." Sunset still looked defiant. "That may be so, but I wouldn't give up my friends like that." "A fitting choice for the last words of a fool," Hook raised his sword to deliver the killing blow when suddenly... The sound of a cockerel cry filled the air, causing Hook to pause and look around in anger. "Up here, Hook!" An arrogant sounding male voice called out from the mast. Sunset looked up to see a young man wearing green. He had red hair, pointed ears, and a hat with a red feather sticking out of it. "Picking a fight with a lady? You never did have chivalry, did ya Hook?" "Quit your prattling, Pan!" The pirate angrily yelled. The boy... flew towards Hook, drawing out a knife and began to duel with the captain. "Don't worry bout me," he said to Sunset. "You take care of that kraken lady!" Pan continued his battle with Hook while Sunset and Fluttershy headed below deck to avoid Ursula's tentacles. A small bright light followed them and headed to the ship's cannons currently facing Ursula. Sunset looked more closely to see it was a bright pixie wearing a small dress and had her hair in a bun. She made a chiming sound while pointing at the cannon. "Oh, I see!" Sunset grabbed a lantern hanging from one of the posts while Fluttershy loaded the three cannons. Lighting the fuse with the lantern's fire, the cannons fired three cannonballs in unison, causing Ursula to shatter in many pieces. "Oh, my..." Fluttershy covered her mouth in shock. "She'll be fine, Fluttershy," her friend said reassuringly. The pixie then flew over to them. "Thanks for the tip." Her new friend bounced up and down excitedly. They then headed up the stairs to the main deck where Pan and Hook were still fighting. From the look of things, Hook was winning. "Give it up, boy! I have finally beaten you this time!" Hook sadistically grinned. "Oh, I think someone else might have something to say about that," Pan smirked as the sound of a ticking clock filled the air. Hook's thin mustache began to twitch in tune with the ticking and his face began to turn fearful. He slowly turned around and looked in the water to see a large green crocodile licking its lips hungrily. "N-No! Not that now!" Hook jumped up. "Oh, Mr. Crocodile!" Pan called out. "Do you like codfish?" The reptile nodded in excitement. "You do?" He quickly grabbed Hook by the collar and held him above the croc's open maw. "P-Pan! W-We can call a truce! Just don't throw me to him!" The now completely terrified pirate struggled, trying hard not to fall into the water. "Very well then," he dropped his arch-rival onto the deck and shouted out his victory cry, giving Hook an opportunity to try to stab him from behind. "Look out!" Fluttershy shouted. Pan turned around and quickly dodged the attack, causing Hook to fall over the side of the ship and into the water. The crocodile quickly swam over to its meal and opened it mouth wide. "SMEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!" The captain screamed to his first mate as he tried to climb out of the beast's jaws. A pot-bellied man wearing a blue-and-white striped shirt and a red cap quickly scampered to the ship's dinghy. "D-Don't worry, Captain!" Smee called out. "I'll save you!" He lowered the boat into the water and rowed after Hook, who was now swimming as fast as he could from the hungry croc. "Well, we won't be seeing him for a while," Pan lazily floated over to Sunset and Fluttershy. The pixie flew up near him. "We haven't been properly introduced. Name's Peter Pan." He shook Sunset and Fluttershy's hands. "And this is my companion, Tinker Bell." He pointed at the pixie next to his head. "Sunset Shimmer," she smiled. "...and I'm Fluttershy..." her friend added. "So you and Hook know each other?" Sunset asked curiously. "Yeah, we've been at this for a long time, after I fed his left hand to that crocodile. The croc's been eager to have the rest of him ever since." "Um, how are you flying?" Fluttershy asked. "With some help from Tink's pixie dust. You can do it too, all you need is a happy thought." "We're good," Sunset said. "We're kind of on a mission to find some jewels for a friend." She climbed up to the ship's wheel. Soon, she found the Emerald Radar and picked it up. Turning it on, she heard it beep rapidly. "It says there's one right on this vessel." Lily hid behind Fluttershy's head at that statement. Before Sunset could continue, a large green robot slammed down onto the ship. Its body was shaped like an hourglass, with two long arms and two red eyes in the upper center. Its right hand launched out and grabbed Fluttershy, Lily and Tinker Bell before taking off. "SUNSET! HELP!" Fluttershy cried out as the robot carried them back towards Canterlot City. "He took Tink!" Peter growled. "Sunset, will care to help me in a rescue mission?" "He's got my friend as well," she replied. "I'd be happy to." Putting the Radar in her pocket, Peter Pan picked her up and began to fly at top speed towards the Mystic Ruins...
