//------------------------------// // Prolouge // Story: Pirate's Life for Scoots // by Trinket334 //------------------------------// Somewhere in the Spiral "Defeated by a mere wizard, outsmarted by two mere fools. Unbearable, Lord Kane would truly be displeased." A figure spoke in a monotonous voice as our story begins in a dark hall with 6 other figures. "We must find this young orphaned pirate before anything else, If this 'Maestro' believes that this mere pirate can topple OUR grand design, it must be imperative that this pirate must be found." a more commanding voice replied. "The question is...who?" another voice, this one...rather nasally. "And just where do we find this pirate?" "There are many pirates in the Spiral then there are an actual Spiral, I'm sure we will find something." a voice says teasingly. "If not, then we must take the risk and assimilate the islands in the process." the same voice says in a now menacing tone. "Enough." One final figure announced in a commanding but casual tone. "It doesn't matter if we must destroy the islands in the spiral if we have to, this pirate must be found, in the name of the Armada. "However Bishop raises a prominent point, the matter of who we are searching for and the location of the pirate, is beyond even I. How can we search for a pirate that is unknown to us?" "It is unknown to you, but I know clearly who we must search for." came a completely different voice. The voice entered the room seemed to be a four legged creature. His identity is completely unknown as the only part of his attire they can see is his pristine white hooded robe. "Trinket," The leader said nonchalantly. "So glad of you to make it." "Tell us. What is this information you speak of that is so important as to barge into the castle unbeknownst to us." Deacon inquired. "I came to remind you, of a past threat to our cause, that could very well, connect to this 'orphaned pirate'" he says as he took his seat in the round table. "Tell me, gentlemen. Do you remember, the past attacks on the Armada from the Skywaker Pirates?" "How could I dare forget? Those pirates have unimaginable power that rivals our own." Bishop said almost worrying. "It was a drastic battle, yes, but in the end, we've dealt with them already, proving that the Armada prevails. And should another one of those 'Skywaker Pirates' attack once more, we shall remind them of our power - this time, they shall learn." said darkly. "Then, surely know of the youngest Skywaker?" Everyone looked at the clockwork stallion in confusion. "Explain" Deacon uttered bluntly. It was then that Trinket took out a diagram of what appears to be a family tree. "As you know, the Skywaker Pirates are under the command of the swift assassain: Stormwaker Thunderblitz, daughter of the elder pirates, Earthwaker Terra, grandfather of the doctor of faith: Lightwaker Cheerilee, older sister of the Plunderer of Shadows: Darkwaker Ravenscar, who will be but a lost cause to our plan. Then we have Oceanwaker Bluebreeze of the elder pirates, grandmother of the Whirlwind Beserker: Windwaker Rumble. "Ah yes, the one we recently 'donated' to Fort Elena, truly interesting. But just out of curiosity who is Thunderblitz's husband?" Bishop asked as Trinket continues to peak his colleagues' interest. "I'm afraid the husband of the Skywaker captain remains a mystery to all of us," he answered. "Now that I've given my summary of the Skywaker Pirates, there's still the matter of one member. Daughter of the captain, and grandaughter of the elder pirates alike AND sister of the Whirlwind Beserker. The Firewaker." he then showed his colleagues on the diagram the pony in the very middle. It seems to be an orange coated foal with a flowing purple mane. "A mere foal is assumed to be the one who shall be the downfall. I'm starting to lose interest in your theory, Trinket." Deacon says bluntly. "Would you rather take that risk, Deacon?" Trinket interjected. "Children, my frind, tend to be troublesome if not taken lightly. "We must find the filly and bring her to justice just as the Maestro suggests. We cannot allow the Skywaking heathens oppose to our design again. Just as you said, my lord, should we face them again, they must be dealt with." Everyone then looked in silence and then the leader of the Armada finally spoke up. "I concur. We must find her and capture her." he says darkly. "I bestow the job to you, Trinket, for your equine appearance we will be able to sail through this world of equines. At nightfall, we will sneak into Equestria and capture her. Should any witness view what occurs, you will put them to sleep and capture them as well." he commanded. "Sir." he saluted. "Now, before we conclude this meeting, you did not tell us the name of this 'Firewaker' Deacon realized. Trinket gave a dark smirk and let out the name of the pirate. "Firewaker Scootaloo.
