//------------------------------// // Episode 40: Sarah's Adventure's in Equestria the Movie: Part 3 // Story: Sarah's Adventure's in Equestria // by Zipp Storm //------------------------------// Meanwhile, on the airship, I peeked over the crates and saw the anthropomorphic parrots. “What do you think, Sarah should we ask them to take us?” Jamie asked. “No way!” Mason whispered. “They’re pirates for God’s sake.” Jacks’ stomach growled and he patted his gut, “Pirates or not, I’m starving.” Mason rolled his eyes, “You’re always hungry.” “Sue me!” Jack exclaimed softly. “Actually, I’m kinda hungry too.” Ren admitted, rubbing his stomach. “Me too” Jamie added. “Me three.” Kaede said. Suddenly, Boyle picked up and crate, exposing us. ”Looks like a pack of stowaways.” Mullet said. “What are we s'posed to do with 'em?” Lix Spittle added. “What say the book, Captain Celaeno?” Mullet asked. Captain Celano, an tanish parrot with green feathers and a green prosthetic leg as a sme sort of crystal, came over with a book in her hands,  “Storm King's rule book says, "Throw them overboard." “Huh?” My friends exclaimed. The parrots moved forward, ready to grab us. Ren, Jack and Mason got ready to fight when the union whistle blew. “All right! That's lunch!” Captain Celano stated and we were suddenly in a room, eating pudding with the parrots. “Whoa whoa whoa! So you were about to toss us overboard and you stopped for a lunch break?” Jack questioned, getting a ‘Shut up’ expression from Kaede and Ren. “Storm King only allows one break a day for meals, then it's back to hauling goods.” Boyle said. “So you're delivery guys?” Kaede asked. “And gals. These uniforms aren't exactly doing us any favors.” Celano said. “Then can you deliver us to Mount Aris?” I asked. “Sorry. We do what the Storm King orders or we suffer his wrath.” Celano stated. Well, that was a bust. “Right. Still going overboard.” “Eh, it's nothing personal. Pudding?” Lix Spittle said. “You weren't always delivery birds, were you?” Jack asked. “Yeah, what about before the Storm King?” I added. “Yeah. We used to be much more adventurous.” Celano moved a flag with the Storm King’s picture on it and it showed a skull and crossbone picture. “Whoa! You used to be pirates?!” Ren exclaimed. “Um, we prefer the term "swashbuckling treasure hunters".” Mullet suggested. “So... pirates.” I deadpanned. Squabble squawked. “You birds have a choice to make. You could let some cloven-hoofed Storm King tell you how to live your lives, or…” Jack said. I tore the Storm King picture down, revealing the pirate symbol, “You could be awesome again!” “Jack, Sarah, this isn’t a good time for a-” Ren tried to say but. Too Late.

(Pirates and Humans) Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Now at the wheel, Captain Celaeno said, “Come on, let’s show these little humans how it’s done!” Her crew mates pulled some ropes and the ship revealed colorful rainbow wings in the side. My friends gazed in awe at them. “Wicked!” Jack said. “I knew you had it in you.” “Me too!” I added. “It’s thanks to you two.” Celaeno said. “Hey Sarah!” Kaede called. I went down to see her and Mullet. “What is it?” “Can you make a dragon out of your magic?” she asked. “A dragon? Well.. yeah, but we’re trying not be spotted, remember?” I inquired. “Oh it’ll be just a small dragon.” Kaede reassured. “Well… alright.” I lit my horn and a ghostly image of a dragon came out of it. It was in rainbow colors. It roared loudly and flew around the airship. “Wow!” Celaeno exclaimed. “Sarah! What are you doing!” Mason exclaimed with worry. “Stop it!” “Okay.” I made the dragon disappear with my magic. “You better be lucky no one, except for us saw that.” Mason said with a sigh. “Uh… big brother.” Carrie said with fear, pointing towards the clouds.. And we saw a Storm King airship. “Ugh. Storm guards. Looks like they found you.” Celaeno said. “Tempest!” Jamie cried. “Secure the rigging, lock down the cargo. Everyone prepare to be boarded!” Celaeno said. Mullet ushered up to the cargo hold of the ship. “Do you think she saw me small dragon?” I asked innocently. “Are you kidding me?!” Mason exclaimed. “Sorry, hehe.” I said nervously. Mason looked upset with me. “Oh relax, brat. She didn’t mean it.” Jack said. Mason sighed and shook his head. We all felt the ship lunge to the right, making us all fall on top of each other. Then we heard the sound of Tempests shoes hitting the floor. “We have to get off this ship, before Tempest figures out we’re here!” I hissed. “We helped them get their mojo back. They are not going to give us up.” Jack said. “I wouldn’t bet on it.” Rantaro scoffed, tilting his hat. Jack growled at him. “Guys stop it. Right now we have to get off this ship.” Kaede said. “How? We’re thousands of feet in the air and we don’t have our dragons.” Ren pointed out. “I hope they’re alright.” “I’m sure they are. T-They’re tough.” Jamie reassured. I didn’t even think about the dragons until now. Nonetheless, I looked around the cargo hold and saw a open crate and a flag and some rope. I got an idea, “I got this.” Third Person POV On the ship, Tempest was interrogating the pirate crew. “Now, I'm gonna count to three, and if you don't tell me where they are, your ship is going down. One…” Sarah gave the flag to Ren, “Hold this!” “What are you doing?!” I asked. Sarah flipped the lever. “...two…” Celeano knew she couldn’t let her and her crews’ new friends be captured by Tempest and she clenched her sword. “Oh, thith is inteeenth!” Grubber said. “Three!” Kaede’s scream was heard from the cargo hold. Tempest and the Storm Creatures turned towards the source, “What?” Captain Celaeno gasped when she realized Sarah must have opened the cargo latch. POV Ends Okay so I opened the cargo hatch and now we were all falling from the sky.  “I’m gonna kill you, Sarah!” Jack exclaimed. “Oh for the Celestia’s sake!” Kaede exclaimed as well. Jamie whimpered as he looked down at the incoming ground. “I can’t look!” he covered his eyes in fear. Rantaro pressed his hat against his head to keep it on. Kaede and Carrie hugged Mason in fear. Nicole… well… she didn’t really do anything, she didn’t even scream, which was weird. Kodi and Rosy cried out. “AAAAHHH HATING THIS!” Kodi exclaimed. Anyway, I lit my horn and grabbed my friends in my magic and put them in the crate. I then grabbed grab the rope and the flag in my magic. “What in the world is she up to?” Ren asked. I tied the rope around the crate and flag and I used my fire magic to fill the flag up with air. The crate slowed a little, but it was still falling as fast. “YYYAAAAAHHH!” Everybody screamed. When suddenly, something caught me and pulled the crate up, slowing its decent. “What the-?” Mason asked. What appeared on either side was a familiar Razorwhip and Monstrous Nightmare. “Silverspike! Firestorm!” Jack and Mason cried. I looked at the figure who caught me and gasped in joy. “Moonshine!” I exclaimed and hugged my Night Fury. He roared happily and from behind him appeared, “Spark, Fire, Winter, Storm, Striker!” All my friends were amazed and grateful that the dragons were here. “How’d you escape from Tempest in Canterlot. We thought you all got turned to stone.” Jamie asked. Moonshine warbled, “Moonshine said they were flying in the sky when they saw the invasion. They were about to fly down and rescue us, but Winter said it was too risky so they had to wait.” Winter warbled, “They were following us from a distance, trying to stay out of Tempests’ sight. When they saw she was nowhere around them came towards us.” The dragons nuzzled their respective riders. “Well, this mission should go a lot smoother.” Ren said. “Right.” Moonshine began pushing the crate. “Next stop, Mount Aris!” “We’re home free dudes and chicks!” Jack cried. We all cheered happily as we made our way to Mount Aris. Third Person POV Meanwhile, Tempest and the Storm Creatures were searching the ship for Sarah and company. Grubber came up to her, “ There'th no ponieth. But I found thith. It'th a... kind of a cupcake... with thprinkleth... Oh, yeah, and I found thith, too.” he held up the map that Sarah and company left behind Tempest looked at the map, “Huh.” “Wow, this is a real artitht!” “Looks like they're heading to Mount Aris.” “Really? Mou- Mount Aris? I... Well, that's my mis— I didn't know that... Mount Ari... My bad, I didn't... That's my... I'm sorry, I'm very very sorry.” Capper said. “Now, about your betrayal…” Then Tempest zapped the ship. POV Ends
