//------------------------------// // Supply run // Story: Rum, Powder, and a Scarred Drake // by The Soviet Turtle //------------------------------// Spike and Twilight were walking on the only pathway to Fluttershy’s house, the image of the stallion still in Spike’s head. So many Questions still through his head. Who was he? What did he do? Why was he wanted? What was his story? Twilight told him it his nothing but he knew better, he knew she was hiding something from him to protect his innocence. He sighed, PeeWee noticing his master’s sadness and nudging his cheek to try and cheer him up. The dragon smiled and petted the little bird's head, giving him thanks for trying to cheer him up. “Spike, wake up, where here.” Twilight said. Spike suddenly noticed they were in front of Fluttershy’s house, and Twilight began to knock. *Knock* *Knock* *Knock* ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ *Knock *Knock* *Knock* “Oi! Rise and Shine ya mongrels! Capt’n wants ya on deck!” The former captives began to wake up to the wooden beds and the shaky floor, the knocking finally stopping and the crew member walking away. The mane six and the cutie mark crusaders each getting out of their respective beds, and noticed both princesses were gone. “Where’s the princess?” “Probably up deck with Spike. Let’s go.” Twilight said as she opened the door. “You okay?” Rainbow asked. “Not really, let’s just go.” She said as she walked out. Rainbow and the rest kept silence as they followed her outside to the deck. They walked through the crew’s activities below, either cleaning the cannons or falling face first after a massive hangover. The group found the stairs and walked up them to be exposed to the daylight, causing many eyes to cringe, becoming blind for a few seconds before the world returned to them. The waves calm and the crew starting their naval duties, they saw the two princesses behind Spike as he held onto the wheel. Their horns glowed as the moon was lowered and the sun was being set in place. Celestia finished setting the sun into place and looked to see the rest of her group. “Good morning all.” Celestia said. “Morning.” They all responded. “I hope you each got some rest last night. We all deserve it after staying in those cells.” Celestia said as she and Luna walked down to the group. “Well I try to give my crew the best.” Spike said with a small smile, indulging in himself a little. “So Spike, you know what we could have for breakfast on this ship?” Scootaloo asked, her stomach rumbling. “Well, you could have some moldy cheese or bread with maggots. And if you’re extremely lucky, you’ll get some actual bruise fruit.” Spike said in a deadpan manner, needless to say, the group was greatly disgusted by what he said. Rarity turned green and grabbed her head. “I do believe I’m going to be sick.” Rarity was hunched over the ship's side and projectile vomiting in less than three seconds after that sentence. “That joke backfired. Although seriously, all we’ve got left is scraps though.” Spike told them. Although he wasn’t really keen about the elements, he did feel sympathetic for Rarity being seasick. “And how do we survive on scraps all the way to Mamajia?” Twilight asked. “Simple. We dock into a harbour and get supplies.” Spike said simply. “And what’s tha closest harbour?” Applejack asked. “Well its good news and bad news. Good news for us because we get to resupply and get good food. Bad news, it’s Nahvaa.” Spike said, pulling his spyglass out. The ponies immediately shot straight up, memories of what could have been haunted inside their minds. This didn’t help Rarity either, she was already sick but memories of that…devilish Gryphon caused her to keep vomiting. Rainbow came up and patted her on the back and tried to help her friend. “Couldn’t you try and dock in a more friendly harbour?” Twilight asked. “My crew was already just getting by when I found you. And it’s either dock into harbour or loot Gryphon naval vessels, and I assume none of you want to die?” Spike said. The group slowly nodded, although slightly reluctant. “Good. Okay I can see the harbour, we should be docking in a few minutes. Now the Gryphon Empire is probably still out for you, or they might not but either way, Pony Princesses aren’t really welcome in gryphon colonies because of nationalism and crap. So you need to stay below deck while I get supplies for the ship, unless you want to die or be captured again. We clear?” Spike said to them. Rarity got up and finally stopped vomiting, not without help from Rainbow and her sister. All the ponies nodded, although Rarity just slightly moved her head. “Hey Guerrier! Can you come over here?” Spike yelled, The Prench Gryphon landing next to Spike. “Yes Spike?” “Get a bucket and help the poor mare over there, she’s absolutely sick.” “Of course.” Guerrier walked over and guided Rarity and the rest of the group down below deck. Spike looked through his spyglass to see the town start to take shape. And to see PeeWee come back into sight with a piece of paper in claw. “I wonder how much money those ponies will cost me.” Spike said to himself. Guerrier got some of the crew and instructed them to get certain supplies while Rarity was laid down in bed. Her friends stayed by her side until Guerrier came back with some buckets, a towel, a glass of water. “Don’t worry, we’ll be docked soon and hopefully your sea sickness should wear off. “ Guerrier said as he placed the bucket next to the bed on a towel, and gave Rarity the glass of water. She took a sip before vomiting into the bucket again. “Do any of you have any spells to help with seasickness?” Guerrier asked. “We would, but we don’t have enough energy to cast a spell right now.” Twilight explained. “Ah, I see. I am personally embarrassed that a gryphon would stoop to such a level, he was scum and glad he is gone.” Guerrier said, rage in his voiced. “Oh thank you dear for helping me.” Rarity told him. “It is no problem miss. I simply do what my captain asks of me, no more.” Guerrier said. “Excuse me.” The group turned to see Gear standing there, now equipped with a strange gun and a sword. “We’re about to dock but the captain wanted to know if anypony wanted to read anything while we’re getting supplies for the trip. I think he was hinting towards you, Twilight.” Gear said. “Read? Oh yes please! I haven’t read anything since we got captured!” Twilight said as she got excited. “My sister and I shall join you Twilight, I am curious as to see what a collection of books Spike has earned over the years.” Luna said, this made Twilight even more excited. “Alright, you three follow me. Also Applebloom, can you make sure the workshop is ready to go when I return? Cleaning up the place or getting rid of the spare wood.” “Sure, no problem.” Applebloom said proudly. “Okay, anypony else want to come?” “No, I’m going to stay with Rarity to make sure she’s okay.” Sweetie Belle said. “I’ll help to…I-If that’s o-okay with you.” Fluttershy said. “I would be glad to have your help.” Gurrier said to the two of them. “Yeah, the rest of us are good.” Rainbow said. “Okay then.” Gear soon left the room with Twilight, Celestia and Luna behind her. Twilight’s excitement causing Gear to smile. “Wow, I knew Spike said you loved books but I didn’t think you loved them that much.” Twilight lightly blushed from embarrassment, but then picked up on something. Spike talked about her to his new friends? She thought he wanted to keep everything in the past, but this seemed now not to be the case. Twilight pondered over this as they walked to the cabin. Meanwhile, back in the living quarters, The rest of the ponies decided what exactly to do. “Need some help Applebloom?” Scootaloo asked. “Yeah thanks.” Applebloom said, the two leaving the room and heading for the workshop. Now all that was left was Rainbow, Applejack and Pinkie who had nothing to do. “Well now what do you want to do?” Rainbow asked. “Oh! I know!” Pinkie said. “What?” Rainbow said. “Watch!” Pinkie bounced out of the room, Rainbow and Applejack following her to see what she was doing. They saw her bounce over to a table that had about four crew members playing poker, One Gryphon, One Unicorn and two Pegasus; one a stallion and another a mare. They all looked to see the bouncing pink earth pony with a giant smile on her face. “Hi! My name is Pinkie Pie!” “…Hey.” The unicorn said “Whatcha playing?” Pinkie asked as her head loomed over one of the pegasus's cards, who brought the cards closer to her chest. “Poker.” The Gryphon simply said. “Oh, I’ve never played Poker before, can I play?” Pinkie asked. The Four poker players looked at each other and talked to each other, trying to at least not let Pinkie hear any of the details. “Should we let her in?” The Unicorn said. “We did just start, no harm in restarting.” The Pegasus Stallion said. “And the captain told us not to hurt them, nothing against interacting with them.” The Gryphon said. “So yes’s all around?” The Mare asked. “Yep.” “Hey.” “Sure.” The four got out of their huddle, the Gryphon grabbing all the cards and shuffling the pack again. “Okay, you can join in.” The Mare said. “Yay!” Pinkie said as she moved at neck break speed, coming back with a chair before sitting down on it. “Well go easy on you since it’s your first time.” The Unicorn said as he dished out the cards. “Okie Dokie Lokie!” Rainbow and Applejack didn’t even question Pinkies actions as they had already known, don’t question Pinkie Pie. The two then heard a familiar noise, their stomachs growling. “Oh man, I haven’t eaten a full meal since we got captured.” Rainbow said. “What ah wouldn’t do ta have a fresh Apple right ‘bout now.” Applejack said. “Do we even know how long Spike will be?” “No idea sugarcube.” “Great, so we’re stuck here starving for Celestia knows how long.” Rainbow complained. “You got another idea?” Applejack asked. Rainbow Dash looked around, taking in her surroundings, a plan beginning to formulate into her head. The voice saying ‘Drop Anchor!’ above deck giving the final confrontation of the plan. “How about we sneak out and get something to eat?” “WHAT?” Applejack said as her eyes opened wide. “Shh! Keep it down Applejack! You want to get locked up?” Rainbow said, putting her hooves over Applejacks mouth. “Have you lost ya mind Rainbow? Ya want to go out into the town that’ll either capture or kill us? And try to get food when we have no bits.” Applejack said as she took Rainbow's hooves off of her mouth. “That’s just it Applejack, we’ll disguise ourselves with these rags.” Rainbow said as she walked over to a box and pulled out two cloaks, throwing one to Applejack. “We still don’t have tha bits to buy any food.” Applejack said. “Don’t worry, I’ll just try to scavenge around; this is a pirate ship, there’s bound to be some gold laying around. Meanwhile you look for a way to sneak off of this ship.” Rainbow told her as she put her cloak on, leaving the Earth pony to look for some cash. Applejack just sighed and put the cloak around her, tightening the hood so she couldn’t be seen. She checked herself to make sure she was covered before looking for an exit. “Now where in the hay can I find a way off this tub?” She said to herself. Her answer came when a door opened and the zebra known as Rese walked past her to on top of deck, forgetting to close his door. Applejack waited for the zebra to get out of sight before taking a look into his room. It was a small simple room but what really got her attention was the large window at the back. Applejack slowly walked to it and tried to see if the window would open, making sure to keep an ear out in case Rese came back. She pushed the window and found that there was enough space for her to jump out of the ship. “Nice work Applejack.” Applejack jumped high and saw Rainbow Dash behind her. She gave the rainbow mare a glare as she took a deep breathe while Rainbow quietly laughed. “Don’t scare me like that again!” “Sorry Applejack, but your reaction was priceless.” Rainbow said, still slightly giggling. “Hardy ha, ya got tha money?” Applejack asked. Rainbow just smiled and pulled out a bag of what Applejack could guess was coins. “How’d ya get that?” “Couple of ponies were passed out on the floor, found this next to one of them.” “Ya stole from a pirate!?” Applejack said, her mind questioning Rainbow’s sanity. “Relax, we’ll just walk into town, find a quick bite to eat and then hurry back before they know what happened.” Rainbow said. “…Okay, ah’ll trust ya. But if this stuffs up, ah’m blaming you for it.” “Don’t worry, I’ve got it under control.” Rainbow grabbed Applejack by her shoulders and took flight before heading out of the window. She flew low to the water to avoid detection, much to the dismay of Applejack. “Don’t ya dare drop me,” Applejack warned her. “I won’t, just gotta land somewhere so we don’t get caught.” Rainbow said, who eventually found a small abandoned jetty. She was quick to fly to the jetty and land, the two ponies making a final check so they couldn’t be identified before walking into the town. The two strongest and stubborn ponies of Ponyville we’re very close to making a mess of themselves as they walked the street. They saw hundreds of gryphons walk the streets with them; some in military uniform, others with no clothes, and others who were sitting on the streets drunk or begging for money. Rainbow tried to avoid eye contact with any of the gryphons but struggled to find somewhere they could eat. But a majority of the buildings seemed to be slums or homes. Applejack just kept her head down, trying to ignore any of the gryphons. The two eventually found a place, a small pub made of brick instead of wood, a small sign that couldn’t be read and was about to fall. The two disguised ponies walked into the sound of talk and music that seemed very weird to them, they had never heard it before. “This doesn’t feel right.” Applejack said. “Come on, we’ll just grab something small then get the hay out of here.” Rainbow said, walking up to the counter and knocking on it to get the attention of the bartender. Said bartender walked over with a look of uninterested. “Yeah?” “Could we get something to eat here?” Rainbow asked. “Sure, what you want, chicken, pig, cow, lamb?” The bartender asked. Rainbow Dash felt like the biggest idiot of all time right now. She was so caught up about getting something to eat she forgot what gryphons liked to eat, meat. Being a pony eating meat was a taboo and wasn’t natural as they were herbivores. She looked back, unable to see Applejack’s face but knowing it was one of complete frustration. “Well?” Rainbow looked back to see the bartender slightly irritated. “What will you have?” He asked again. “Um…I’m suddenly not hungry, sorry.” Rainbow told the bartender, who just rolled his eyes and went over to another customer. Rainbow turned fully to face a dark hood but one emitting disappointment. She just lowered her head, and Applejack just sighed. “Let’s just go.” Applejack said. “Yeah, sorry.” Rainbow apologised. The two we’re about to leave but was blocked by a drunk gryphon. “Hey sexy, ya want *hic*…this body?” He asked. “Um, no.” Applejack said, pushing him out of the way before walking through. “Oh come on babe!” He yelled, grabbing the cloak and pulling it off before hitting his head on the floor and passing out. Needless to say, all the noise stopped as soon as the gryphon smacked his head. All the gryphons staring down the bright orange pony who had just been exposed. She looked back to see some reach for knives or prepare their talons to probably knock HER out. “Rainbow?” Applejack said, her voice cracking slightly. “Just run!” Rainbow yelled, pushing Applejack out as the two ran out of the bar, and into the heavily populated streets of Nahvaa. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “More supplies than usual Spike. You’re boyfriend leave you so you need to eat to feel better?” “Ha ha, very funny.” Spike was currently discussing with a gryphon while his crew carries several crates and began to walk back towards the ship. Rese and Gear Wrench standing next to Spike while Peewee sat on his shoulder. “So you want those receipts?” The gryphon asked. “Yeah, one of the usual receipts and one with today’s costs included.” Spike reminded her. “Yeah, Yeah. Just because I’m getting older doesn’t mean I’ve gone mad yet.” The gryphon replied, chuckling as she handed Spike two pieces of paper. “Thanks again for this-“ Spike was cut off as he heard a scream came from nearby, he and Rese looked around to find the source. “What was that?” The gryphon asked. “Peewee, find out where those screams are coming from.” Spike told the phoenix, who nodded before taking off and flying and taking flight. Spike and Rese waited for the bird to answer before it squawked in a direction, which the two turned to and saw Rainbow Dash and Applejack run through the street, follows by several gryphons with knives. “What are they doing off the ship?” Spike asked, his teeth grinding against one another. “No clue captain.” Rese said. “I take it those two are with you?” The gryphon asked. “Unfortunately. Gear Wrench, you stay here and load the rest of the cargo onto the ship. Rese, Peewee, you follow me.” Spike said. “Aye, aye, Captain.” Gear Wrench said. Spike then turned around and ran down the street, his loyal zebra first mate and deadly phoenix behind him. Rainbow and Applejack ran as fast as their hooves and wings could carry them, trying to outrun the xenophobic gryphons. They puffed what they could, their malnutrition affecting their speed greatly. “Just keep running!” Rainbow yelled. “What do ya think ah’m doin’!?” Applejack replied. “Run, run, run little ponies!” one of the gryphons said. Rainbow looked behind her and yelped as a gryphon was flying right behind her, swinging his knife around, attempting to stab her. The two turned another corner, and ran through to a jetty, their legs and wings almost about to pass out. They were waiting for pain but instead heard a shot behind them. Rainbow looked behind her to see the gryphon so close to stabbing her now on the jetty, laying still as blood spilled from his head. She also looked up to see the gryphons focusing on the intrusion, which turned out to be Spike holding his rifle, Rese holding his hammer, and Peewee in the air above the two. Applejack and Rainbow watched in anxiety as they feared what would happen to the three. The gryphons looking eager to end them so they could chase down the ponies again. Spike put his rifle away and pulled his sword out as he blocked a shiv from one of the gryphons. He knocked the gryphons arm away and punched him right in the beak, knocking the gryphon out. Rese laughed as he swung his hammer and knocked three in the head simultaneously, all of them knocked out. Peewee fought an aerial battle with one of the gryphons, pecking at its face and eyes as it struggled to swat the phoenix off his face, but no luck. The bird too quick for him to it. Spike blocked another attack from the gryphons, although this enemy was smarter than the previous; with him actually deflecting attacks from the dragon. Spike was focused on the gryphon but out of the corner of his eye could see a gryphon pull out a sword and charge at him from behind. Spike reacted quickly, getting the upper hand of his current foe, knocking the knife out of its talon and pulling out a pistol, shooting his foe into the sea to sink. Spike then threw his sword to his left claw before slicing the throat of the charging enemy, and stepping out of the way as he joined his friend in the sea. Spike looked to see Rese and Peewee finish the last of the gryphons, and sheathed his sword before looking over to the two mares on the jetty, scared out of their minds at the spectacle. “Rese, hide these bodies. I’m going to have a talk with these two.” Spike said. “Yes Captain.” Rese said, as he started to push the dead bodies into the sea. “Peewee, head back to the ship, I’m going to talk to them alone.” His phoenix nodded before flying off towards Spike’s ship, the dragon now fully focusing on the mares. He walked up to the two as they stared I fear at the dragon. “T-thanks for the help Spike-“ “I gave you one order. One simple order for you to follow. Don’t leave the ship unless you want to die…What part of that is hard to understand!?” Spike yelled, causing the two ponies to jump. “You may be able to do what you want back in Ponyville, but as long as you’re with me, when I give you an order, you follow the order! Is that clear to you two?” Spike asked the two. “Yes!” both ponies said, fear deep in their voice. “I don’t even want to know why you wanted to come out here, but I don’t care right now. When we get back to the ship and I’ve calm down, you’ll both get your punishment.” “Punishment!?” Rainbow Dash asked. “Yes. When I took you on board, I said you would get the same treatment of my crew. You disobeyed an order, you get the consequences.” Spike said. Spike took a deep breath before standing tall and walking back towards the ship, Rainbow, Applejack and Rese joining him all the way back. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Twilight couldn’t believe it! She had spent the whole time looking at the collection of books Spike had, and there was still so much more left to read! Twilight thought she had read every book known, being a princess of a nation and all, but now she had a whole new world of books to explore. Celestia and Luna were entertained by the antics of Twilight, the excitement of a child inside the body of one of the most powerful beings on the planet was something that brought charm to the sight. Although they were intrigued by the books, being thousands of years old they had read several texts and books, and had lost the excitement of new books. Twilight was ready a gryphon book on the history of the colonies, noting certain points of the gryphons expansion and comparing it with Equestrian expansion. “I take it you’re enjoying yourselves.” Twilight yelped and dropped the book she was levitating, and looked over the pile of books she had created to see Spike smiling at her. She pouted at Spike while he just laughed. “Don’t scare me like that!” Twilight said. Spike stopped laughing and wiped a tear from his eye. “I was just checking in on you, making sure you girls were comfortable.” Spike said. “We are fine Spike. I must say this is an impressive range of books.” Luna said. “Well you spend some time on the high seas, you find something new or two.” Spike said. He then walked up to Celestia and put a piece of paper in front of her. “What’s this?” Celestia said. “The bill.” Spike said, Celestia’s eyes widening at the sight, watching in shock as Spike walked away. “Never said this was free Celestia.” Spike said as he left the three to read. Rarity felt tired, even though she hadn’t moved all day. Her sea sickness sticking to her like barnacles on ships. Fluttershy, Sweetie Belle and Guerrier tried what they could with what they had but nothing worked. Rarity once again blew chunks into the bucket, which had gone many trips to the upper deck and then once again back below. “It’s no good I’m afraid, we’ve tried all we could with what we have yet it is simply not enough.” Guerrier said, his Prench accent clearly noted in his sentence. “O-Oh dear, w-will she’ll be okay on-n this ship? N-not saying I-it’s a-a bad s-ship.” Fluttershy asked. “As long as we’ve gotten enough fresh water, we should be fine. I hope the captain’s got enough for the trip.” “Maybe I can help you Guerrier.” The three looked up to see Rese there, holding a bottle of mysterious liquid. “Rese, is that what I think it is?” Guerrier asked. “Yep, sickness potion.” Rese says, as he walked up to rarity and lifts her head from the bucket, holding the potion. “Drink this and you should be fine.” Rarity groggily picked it up with her magic, popping the cork before slowly drinking the potion. She felt strange for a while before she began to feel a sense of relief. “Better?” “Oh much better. Thank you darling for that potion.” Rarity said, feeling relaxed for the first time since she got onto this ship. “Do not thank me, thank my sister for her gift.” Rese replied. “Your sister?” Fluttershy asked. “Yes, Rese here has a sister that makes potions for him so he’s healthy on the high seas. She also gives a few extras just to help the rest of us.” Guerrier explained. Rarity began to stretched before beginning to stand up, although being on her back and sick for most of the day, she did so slowly and wobbly. She struggled to stand, being caught by Fluttershy and her sister, before finally standing at her usual height. “Thank you. All of you. I sincerely appreciate your assistance.” Rarity told them all. “Guerrier! Rese!” The group turned to the door to see Applejack and Rainbow walked in the room, followed by Spike who just stood in the doorway. “I’d like you two to keep an eye on these two. They are to stay here until I think it’s appropriate for their punishment.” Spike said to his crew, who nodded at their captain. “Punishment? For what darling?” Rarity asked. “These two left the ship and disobeyed an order I gave you this morning, and since their one my ship, they get punishment for disobeying orders.” Spike explained, Fluttershy, Rarity and Sweetie Belle all looking at Rainbow and Applejack in shock while Applejack looked down in shame and Rainbow looked slightly pissed. “But as a positive from all this, it’s good to see you up and standing Rarity. You give her the potion Rese?” “Yes Captain.” “Good, that should probably last the whole trip. Nice work Rese.” Spike congratulating Rese. “Thanks captain.” “Oi captain! We got the stuff you wanted.” A crew member said outside the room. “Ah, good. Pass it here then.” Spike was then handed three boxes, each box the rough size of two shoeboxes together, and all three stacked atop each other. He then placed the boxes in the room. “Alight, here’s some food and water for you.” Spike said, opening each of the boxes, revealing water, apples and oranges. The ponies each going for the fruit, Rarity mostly taking water instead of food. They bit into the food and was relieved to have fresh food in their stomachs. Applejack bit into the apple, and got a taste of familiarity. “Hang on a minute! This is from Sweet Apple Acres!” Applejack stated, her friends all looking at the bitten fruit and realizing she was saying the truth. “Of course, I always get the best for my crew.” Spike said before he left the ponies to head back to the wheel. Along the way, he spotted Pinkie Pie with a huge stack of bits in front of her, his crew mates probably losing their salaries each hand. Spike chuckled to himself and walked back up top. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Spike felt calm as he felt in a familiar setting once more. His grip on the wheel relaxed as his ship sailed out of Nahvaa, The wind across his scales. He looked down as his crew carried some boxes to his cabin, allowing food for the ponies inside his library. He sighed as he looked out into the sea. “Hey Spike.” He looked over his shoulder to see Sweetie Belle there. “Hello Sweetie Belle.” He said. “So I take it their not having fun.” Sweetie Belle said, pointing to the deck. Spike looked down to see Rainbow and Applejack Scrubbing the deck with toothbrushes while Rese stood as guard. “Probably not, feel free to join them.” Spike said. “Nah, I’d rather sing instead.” Sweetie Belle said. “Well what are you waiting for then?” Spike replied. He looked back out to see, smiling as he looked over the horizon as Sweetie Belle sung once more, the crew almost instantly caught up in the tune. Oh, don't yiz hear the old stallion say say?
