//------------------------------// // Chapter 22 The King and Queen of the Pirates. // Story: My Little Pirate. // by Regis Stella //------------------------------// One year. It has been one year since I came to Equestria, sailed to the Sea of Thieves and found my place in the universe at large. All the friends that I have made over the many months on the seas. All of the fights we had against our enemies. Skeleton Pirates, Skeleton Lords, Sea Monsters, The Grand Maritime Union, Captain Flameheart and his Ashen Lords and other Pirates who don’t like the fact that there are now Mythical, talking creatures as the newest Pirates on the Sea of Thieves. And now it the most important day of mine and Twilight’s lives. Our wedding and our coronation as the first King and Queen of the Pirates of this world. “Why do we have to come to this place again!” Humphery said out loud, much to the annoyance to the other Pirates who are on the ship leading them to Libertalia. “Oh, do be quiet, Humphery. We’re invited to the coronation and the wedding of the first Pirate King and Queen of history.” Chef Trader Mollie said to the angry Gold Hoarder. “We’re witnessing history in the making!” “History in the making indeed, Mollie,” Madame Olivia said, with a smile on her face. “Though I wonder why would they allow two events instead of one today and one next week?” “Good question, my Pirate Witch friend,” Merrick said to Madame Olivia. Why was this the case, my dear readers? Well, Mom told me that having both the wedding and the coronation on the same day will be much easier on all of the guests that are showing up today instead of what Madame Olivia asked herself. Plus Pinkie said it would be easier on her and Rarity as a whole for party managing and outfit-making for the both of them for myself and Twilight. Another thing is that Mom and Dad said that the wedding would be for close friends and family only, while the coronation will be more public for all of the Sea of Thieves to watch and be apart of history. In the groom’s room, I was in getting ready for the biggest day of my and Twi’s life. I was nervous and scared as hell about both the wedding and the coronation. Now don’t get me wrong, I was beyond excited for my wedding and the coronation, and so was my crew and my family. But the tales of people being nervous about to be married are all too real to me and maybe my Twi as well. “Alright, William Hunter Singh,” I said to myself as it is my way of calming down all the time both in the past and now, “You’re going to marry the mare that you love the most, and in the process, you are going to be crowned The King of the Pirates alongside your new wife as The Queen of the Pirates. Nothing to worry about. Just stress and worry and fear and a whole load of stuck-up Pirates who think that they know how to rule the Sea of Thieves,” It wasn’t helping at all as my Dad walked into the room that I was in. “Having second thoughts, my Son?” Dad asked me as he walked into the room. “it’s more like my nerves are trying to get to me and possibly Twi,” I said to Dad. “I know it’s cliche to say that I know the feeling of cold hoofs, but it’s true for both your mother and me,” Dad said while having a look of nostalgia on his face. “I still remember the first time I met your mother back some 37 years ago on Equestria. It was in a library in a small town just off the coast of the ocean. She was in a different form than her Alicorn form, for she was in disguise as a pegasus pony. Her nose was in the books in the library for reasons that will change the world for the better or, the worse.” “It sounds like I need to listen to it,” I said as I got my royal Pirate King outfit ready. It was like a British’s King outfit, but the primary colour was raven black with snow-white highlights, buttons and cuffs, and the cape was blood-red. All that was missing was my crown that holds my Element of Freedom that I was keeping in secret not to let it fall into the wrong hooves. Just like Twilight’s coronation at the finale of season three in Friendship is Magic, it will be used at the coronation as soon as we are ready to begin. “Not right now, my son. You have a wedding and a coronation to prepare for,” Dad told me, “Are you ready to marry the mare you love most of all?” “Yes, Dad. I am,” I told him. All of my Nakama was in the central courtyard of the Governer’s Palace of Libertalia as well all 12,000 Pirates under my command were there in the crowd outside the Palace. The wedding began with Apple Bloom, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle walking down the aisle as they were dropping flower peddles while Twilight was walking down the aisle wearing the same outfit when she wore it in the Series finale of the show. Looking like a royal pony that she always was it the first place. When she came near the altar where Mom was standing in the same dress in the season three finale Twi face me, and I couldn’t help but say, “You look like a billion amethyst gems, Twi,” Twilight giggled, and we turned our heads to Mom and nodded to begin the wedding. “Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to join the soon-to-be-crowned King and Queen of the Pirates William Hunter Singh and Twilight Sparkle in holy matrimony,” Mom said in a clear voice. “but before we can begin. They have a special way of sealing their vows, Will?” “We would like to sing this song to a special wedding song since we began this voyage,” I told my friends and crowd of Pirates outside our Palace. “You ready?” I then asked my soon-to-be-wife, to which she nodded. (Cue For The Dancing And The Dreaming By The Hound + The Fox) As we sang the song, all of the Pirates were starting to cry little by little. “Awwwwwww,” All the Pirates of Libertalia went as the song ended, then Mom cleared her throat to quiet the crowd. “Do you, William Hunter Singh, take Twilight Sparkle to be your lawfully wedded wife?” Mom asked me. “I do,” I told Mom as I stared into Twilight’s eyes. “Do you, Twilight Sparkle, take William Hunter Singh to be your lawfully wedded husband?” Mom asked Twi. “I do,” Twi told Mom as Twi began to cry. “May we have to rings, please?” Mom asked Spike, who was holding our rings on a pillow. I used my magic to grab Twi’s ring and place it on Twi’s horn as Twi did the same with mine ring. “I now pronounce you, Alicorn Pirate Lord and Alicorn Pirate Lady. you may kiss the bride!” Mom declared to Twi and me then we kissed, and the crowd cheered. (A few hours later) “We are gathered here today in celebration of a momentous occasion,” The human Pirate Lord said to the crowd of 20 million Pirates out there on the Sea of Thieves. “William Hunter Singh and his beautiful wife, Twilight Singh. Have done extraordinary things since they have first met in another world, all those years ago. They helped the Sea of Thieves in ways that made me proud to call them my friends or Nakama in William’s words. They defeated the Reaper’s Bones Pirates and helped to defeat Captain Flameheart and bring Pirate’s Peace in our Sea of Thieves. And now, please welcome for the very first time in Sea of Thieves and world history. Pirate King William Hunter Singh and his wife, Pirate Queen Twilight Singh!” (Cue Diggy Diggy Hole Orchestra by Wind Rose. I hope you enjoy these new lyrics I’ve made just for this fanfic) [William and Twilight Singh] Pirates of the Sea rejoice! [Pirates] Swing, swing, swing with me! [William and Twilight Singh] Raise your sword and raise your voice! [Pirates] Sing, sing, sing with me [William and Twilight Singh] Around and around the Sea of Thieves, We will fight all marines, Taking on the wider world, With our black flag unfurled. [Everyone] Born everywhere, some of us betrayed by home, Raised on a ship, and all we know is the Captain’s tone, Skin made of iron, steel in our bones, To sail the sea makes us free, Come, my Pirates, sing with me. I am a Pirate and I’m sailing the sea, Sailing the sea, sailing the sea, I am a Pirates and I’m sailing the sea, Sailing the sea, sailing the sea! [William and Twilight Singh] The Devil’s Shroud protects us all, [Pirates] From the G.M.U. [William and Twilight Singh] Always ready for the call, [Pirates] We welcome all to the crew. [William and Twilight Singh] Fill a tankard and down some mead! Stuff your bellies at the feast! Stumble home and fall asleep, Dreaming in our Pirate keeps. [Everyone] Born everywhere, trained to find endless gold, The world is our cradle, we shall sail until we’re old, Face us on the open sea, you will meet your doom, We do not fear the Skeletons, We have treasure by the tons. I am a Pirate and I’m sailing the sea, Sailing the sea, sailing the sea, I am a Pirate and I’m sailing the sea, Sailing the sea, sailing the sea. I am a Pirate and I’m sailing the sea, Sailing the sea, sailing the sea, I am a Pirate and I’m sailing the sea, Sailing the Sea, sailing the Sea. Born everywhere, some of us betrayed by home, Raised on a ship, and all we know is the Captain’s tone, Skin made of iron, steel in our bones, To sail the sea makes us free, Come, my Pirates, sing with me. I am a Pirate and I’m sailing the sea, Sailing the sea, sailing the sea, I am a Pirate and I’m sailing the sea, Sailing the sea, sailing the sea I am a Pirate and I’m sailing the sea, Sailing the sea, sailing the sea, I am a Pirate and I’m sailing the sea, Sailing the sea, sailing the sea. (End Song) “ENCORE, ENCORE!” Went the Pirates and the human Pirate Lord complied. (Cue Toss a coin to your Witcher from the Witcher Netflix series again Different lyrics made by your’s truly) [The human Pirate Lord] When a humble lord, Grace a ride-along, With William Singh, Along came this song. For when the Admiral fought, A silver-tongued devil, His army of evil at, His boots did they revel. They came after me, With masterful deceit, Brokedown my hopes, And they kick in my teeth. While the devil’s swords, Slashed our tender meat, And so cried, William He can’t be bleat. Toss a coin to your Pirate, O’ Shores of Plenty, O’ Shores of Plenty, Oh oh oh. Toss a coin to your Pirate, O’ Shores of Plenty. At the edge of the world, Fight the mighty horde, That bashes and breaks you, And brings you to morn’. He fights all evil, Far back on the shelf, Down low in the ocean, From whence they came. He wiped out your pest, Got kicked in his chest, He’s the King of the Pirates, So give him the rest. That’s my epic tale, Our champion prevailed, Defeated the villain, Now pour in his name! Toss a coin to your Pirate, O’ Shores of Plenty, O’ Shores of Plenty, Oh oh oh. Toss a coin to your Pirate, The King of the Pirates! Toss a coin to your Pirate, O’ Shores of Plenty, O’ Shores of Plenty, Oh oh oh. Toss a coin to your Pirate The King of the Pirates! Toss a coin to your Pirate, O’ Shores of Plenty, O’ Shores of Plenty, Oh oh oh. Toss a coin to your Pirate, The King of the Pirates! (Song End) "MOM! PLEASE STOP IT WITH THE BABY PHOTOS!" I cried as mom and Dad showed my crew a book full of baby photos. Who is the baby you might be wondering? It's me, and I am just blushing with my face until it either goes red or mom and Dad stop it. "But honey," Twilight said to me, "You look so cute as a baby," I smirked at my wife, "How would you like it if your mom showed everypirate your baby photos," I told her in a teasing tone. Twilight stop laughing, took one look at me, and her jaw and eyes went wide as much as possible when. "My Daughter has the right to tease her son all she likes," A voice came from me as mom and aunt Luna began to cry, and my eyes went wide. I turn to see a tall cream coated, red rose mane and tail Alicorn with a black writing quill and ink standing right in front of me. "Lauren Faust," I said in a small voice. "That's Grandma Faust to you, my grandson," Grandma said to me with a smirk on her muzzle. "MOM!" mom and aunt Luna yelled as they dived into Grandma. Hugging her like there's no tomorrow. And then. "Now, now, you two. That's no way to say welcome back to your mother without giving me a hug or three to your grandma," Another voice came from behind me. Seriously why with the hiding behind me all to surprise me is weird even as I have the memory in my head. Behind me, this time was a white coat Alicorn with a blonde mane and tail with the old Gen one My Little Pony Logo as a cutie mark. "Bonne Zacherle," I once again squeaked. "GRANDMA!" All two 'mature' Alicorns looked at Great Grandma Bonne or double G and tackled her and hugged her as all of my Nakama, allies and bystanders were standing there looking shocked at the scene in front of them. "What the buck?" I said to myself as Dad came up beside me. "I couldn't agree more, son," Dad said to me. "Where have the two of you been?" Double G asked mom and aunt Luna, "I have been looking for you all over the universe and multiverse for you two," "And I would like no excesses from the two of you," Double G added. "Captain Flameheart banished us to this world, and no matter how many times we try to find a way back, we can't get back even with Flameheart being dead," mom said to Double G. "But we've liked the Life that Piracy in the Sea of Thieves can offer," aunt Luna added. "Fair enough," Double G said to the two Alicorn Mare Pirates. "And I see that you have been busy lately," Double G added as she looked to Dad and me. "I was just a normal Earth Pony when your granddaughter found me, and somehow the Sea of Thieves itself turned me into an Alicorn when I became the Pirate Lord," Dad said to Double G. "And the 'Alicorn Pirate King of the Sea of Thieves', was he ascended too?" Double G asked Dad as she looks at me and making me feel small. "Natural born, ma'am," I squeaked. That got both Double G and Grandma to make a double-take, "How?" The two Goddess asked me. "The magic of the Sea of Thieves," I told both of them. "Sure," The two goddess said to me. "I'm sure that will need to be explained in great detail someday," Grandma said, "I hear that there's a party for my grandson's coronation and wedding, so let's party!" As Grandma said those words, the whole of Libertalia lit up and was now partying like there is no tomorrow. Then some music came on the stage as Mom, Aunt Luna, Cadence, Grandma and Double G were on the stage getting ready for a dance. (Cue Lifelight from Super Smash Bros Ultimate) As my family sang the song, my vision was soon changed into one of fire and darkness as soon as Aunt Luna sang the word world. All hope seemed lost and gone. I saw Libertalia in ruins as bodies of Pirates of all kinds lay dead as the flag of the Grand Maritime Union flies high and stubbornly proud. The next scene was more filled with battle and bloodshed as G.M.U and Pirate ships attack each other as Captain Flameheart watches from up in the sky. More and more of these scenes as the five Alicorn Mares sang the song. My vision came back as soon as my family sang the final chorus. Twilight was looking at me with a worried face on as I mutter to her that I'm fine as I smiled as I sang the last part of the song. (End Song) To be continued.
