//------------------------------// // 3. Across The Ocean // Story: Our Darkest Hour // by Fryguy //------------------------------// The Messenger said that this place had been never trusted, but it is somewhere in the Ocean. The Princesses didn't waste any time after he left. They prepared a boat and rushed over to the docks. The Wooden sailor's boat wasn't good for storms, and there were clouds as dark as the sky, oh wait, the sky is already black. Moving on! "Those clouds are probably trouble, I think we should follow my friend's boat...Wait What?!" Twilight's friends yet again followed her, this annoyed Twilight, but it was better then letting them get bored. The princesses decided to follow them, into the smoke covered storm. But this was risky, because Twilight's friends were in a very bad condition, and their boats had leaks, to eat. "Yes, Food!" Exclaimed Pinkie, the others saw pinkie's discovery. Then, it happened. "AUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGHHHHHHH!" Yes, they began fighting for the leaks, sounds silly, but because they were fighting, an actual leak sprang open. "Quickly, get a bottle cap, cover the hole." Ounce the hole was covered with, sticks and mud, Twilight started shouting at them. "LOOK OUT! A WATER SPOUT! TURN AWAY! TURN AWAY!" Twilight spotted a funnal shaped cloud in the water, and then she realized, "CRACK" She heard a sickening crack of a boat. "Oh no!" she looked at where her friends were last, and they were there, they did something to the water spout, let's see what they did. "Turn away, why the hay...Oh barbecue sauce!" Applejack spotted the danger, just what she needed, a water tornado. "Pinkie, Fluttershy, get the boat out of here! I'll try something, Rainbow, get that cyclone towards me!" Rainbow Dash thought that Applejack was crazy, but she promised to do her best, and started to get the water spout under control, but it wasn't easy, she nearly got sucked in a few times. That's when Applejack tossed her lasso around the Water tornado, making a sickening crack sound, and disappearing into thin air. "I guess you guys are feeling better ever since that accident." exclaimed Twilight. But their relief is short-lifted. "What's that?" asked Pinkie Pie, pointing a hoof at a swirling thing in the water, it was also moving. "ON NO! A WHIRLPOOL!!!!!" The Princesses and Twilight's friends had went in the direction of strange water patterns. The whirlpool was it, and they were getting sucked in. "Quickly, if we can cover the hole, maybe we can escape!" Twilight's idea might work, if they just find something... "The Leaks!" "What!" "No silly, these!" Pinkie was holding one of the leaks she found in the boat. "But Pinkie, that's our only food supply!" "Trust me!" Pinkie Pie and Applejack argued if using the food supply would work. "It will sink in with the whirlpool!" "But have you noticed that we have never tried it!" "We'll Starve!" "We also have more food and water!" "We....we do?" "Yeah, see?" Pinkie pointed at a total of sixteen barrels, Eight with food and the other eight with water. "I guess I never should've doubted you, go on ahead partner." Pinkie then eagerly threw all the leaks in the water, amazingly, the leaks floated, But why do they sink boats? Anyway...The leaks were then sucked in, but the hole was not big enough to hold all the leaks, It stopped sucking in the boats, it stopped moving. Then it happens. KA-BOOOMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The whirlpool exploded, the leaks flew into the air, Some landed in Equestria, others hit Twilight in the head. Everypony else were fascinated by this outcome, a wave was also pushing the boats away from the incident. The Wave was six feet tall and fifteen feet wide, and not blue like it was supposed to be, but purple from pollution. But the wave got taller but smaller in width every minute. But suddenly, the boats hit something, and the wave dies. They had discovered land.
