Seeing how Lightning Bliss had her head stuck in the bucket, only to raise it from the ground and unintentionally pouring all the contents over her, making her completely wet. He began to bit his lower lip as he realized how his help didn't help at all and walked over the now shivering wet alicorn mare and with a blue aura coming from his horn, he carefully started to lift the bucket off from her head, revealing a sad sight of a pony ready to burst in tears at any moment. He kneeled down next to her and placed his hoof around her shoulder gently, while moving some of the hair away from the front of her eyes with the other hoof carefully and could give her an apologetic look, before turning towards the others around her and spoke out in a surprisingly calm tone. Somepony go get her a towel. Miss Bliss will be going back inside below the deck to warm up, and I will make her a hot cup of chocolate so that she doesn't get a cold.
She looked to Polaris as he spoke, then back to Wayzer, Volt and Seth...feeling embrassed about her inflammed screw up...She knew they were only pulling a harmless prank. How were they supposed to know it would startle her that much? What really upset her was that she didn't control her magic as well as she could have. As they gave her a towel to wrap up in...She stood up, wanting to hide her ashamed face...while trying to show she wasn't too shaken up, but knowing it was obvous to all of them. Heh...good one Volt and Wayzer... I was...really startled there! Heh!, her fake laugh was so obvious she merely wanted to run off the deck and into her room, but calmly and surely, she allowed Polaris to escort her down for that much needed cup of hot chocolate. -- A mile off their bowl -- The captain watched from a distance as he spotted through his magical fog that he created, the beauitful yacht his gryphon first mate described to him. He smacked his lips at the bounty he was witnessing. Imaging the possibilities of valuables to steal, as well as important ponies or gryphons he would kidnap for ransom. His hunger for riches was growing with need of satisfation. Increase speed you scallywags! He ordered his minions, Prepare t' board, 'tis goin' t' be a grand ole time
"****.. i am an idiot.." Volt said to himself while slowly walking near Bliss ashamed "i.. i am sorry Bliss.. really... i didn't meant to do that... i am trully sincerely sorry... will.. will you forgive me?" Volt timidly asked
(OOC Arkman, Volt and Wayzer, stay on deck for the next few posts, the pirates will be attacking soon) Just...just leave me be for now ok Volt? I don't...want anypony to see the failure I was... When Volt tried to follow, she hotly turned on him, snorting and whinning at him along with the other two Seth and Wayzer, JUST LEAVE ME ALONE OK??!! Suddenly she blushed again, feeling guilty for yelling at them and trotted off the deck and back into the lodging, leaning against the wall crying as Polaris followed. Oh Polaris... she whimpered, I'm such a failure...I can't even talk to my friends right!
Shaking his head in disbelief, he stepped in front of her and placed his hoof on her shoulder, while looking into her teary eyes and smiling assuredly. Nonsense! You are in no way a failure, miss Bliss! Your panicking and causing your horn to burst in flames was a natural reaction that happens if a unicorn is spooked during her spell casting. Although the effect are quite random with every pony and in your case, it seems that your horn became a literal torch instead of a bright light. Noticing how his words weren't making her feel any better and began looking down at the floor miserably, he lifted his hoof off from her shoulder and placed it gently under her chin and raised her face towards him and smiled sincerely, while looking intently again into her big teary cyan eyes. There is no shame in failing at casting a spell in front of your friends, Blissy and you know that we all support you and your efforts to learn magic. These sort of things happens every now and then and like always, and remember how well you're using your levitation already? Doesn't that already tell you how much you've progressed in such a short time from a pegasus pony to a spell casting alicorn with no help from a proper teacher or a spellbook? He lowered his hoof from her chin back to the ground and turned towards the kitchen and just before he was about to enter in, he turned around again in place towards the sad alicorn pony with a last comforting smile he could muster. You're doing great, miss Bliss and don't think what other ponies think or tell you, since they're wrong and haven't seen your true potential. You are a powerful alicorn, Blissy. You just need time and concentration to figure out and hone your flaws and before you know it, you'll be able to tap further into the secrets of the nether realm. You can do this, I know you can.
She nodded to him, trying to clean her eyes and nose as she followed him into the kitchen. Thank you Polaris...I needed to hear that. She smiled to him, feeling better already, though she knew she'd feel alot better of getting some nice warm chocolate into her belly to warm up her damp cold body. She sat on a stool and waited for him to make the cup, while pondering what she could do better on lighting her horn up like he had previously showed her. -- Pirates -- (Be aware that you are allowed to fight the pirates but you will have to lose, we're caught off guard and we're gonna be kidnapped, but in short have fun with the fight scenes!) [video=youtube;NzzGWfPI2YU]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzzGWfPI2YU[/video] He manipulated the sails with his magic, directing it right on top of the unsuspecting yacht, and with the right amount of gust from his gryphon first mate...rammed the yacht full blown, disabling its propeller, magically enabled or not, it was damaged beyond the magic to be able to work with it. He grinned eagerly, then raised his hoof ordering the rest of his crew to fling the hooks to pull the vessel along side them. Nows th' time gentleponies! Grab yer cutlasses 'n arms! Prepare t' board! He whinned up still hidden in shadow, as a Chimmera, a tribal like pony, and the gryphon herself, made ready to leap towards the vessel. The captain spotted three shipmates already, a blue pegasus pony, a black unicorn, and a wolf. He grinned with satisfaction. Jewel! Fetch th' pegasus!, he ordered to the gryphon. Aye aye captain! The great gryphon took to the air, and launched herself on Volt without warning, dragging him into the sky in an arile battle. Come on cuty little pony...show me what you got, she winked at him cockily. She then fluttered higher into the air, daring him to follow, then plummeted down on him, clawing and biting at his face and neck with her vicous beak. Sab, Billy, Fang! The captain yelled to the Chimmera, Deal wit' th' wolf 'n unicorn AYE AYE! All three heads of the great beast replied as they leapt to the deck. The black panter head snarled at Seth, growling ferociously while the ram's head merely giggled at their opponants. But the snake head...a vicious cobra...snarled and hissed, looking anxious to sink its fangs into something. So... a wolf facing down part of a panther? Snarled Sab, tell me pup...ever face a three headed foa? He suddenly swiped at Seth, smacking him into the chest and sending him flying against the rail, while the cobra head and ram swayed their heads and snapped at Wayzer. Come on little colt! The cobra Fang taunted, show me what that twig on your head can do! Hmmm...Kinder...he turned then to the last of his grew, a tribal strong pony stallion, search the rest of the vessel, leave no passenger unturned. Hmf... the pony bowed respectfully to his leader and leapt to the ship, dodging the battle going on and darted straight into the vessel, galloping down the hallway just as Lightning Bliss with Polaris in front were leaving the kitchen trying to figure out what happened. Ahhh... the pirate pony smiled as he came face to face with them... soft fresh meat... Oh Celestia...who are you??? Bliss whinnied in panick.
"what in the name of Gauss???" Volt yelled being dragged in the air "let me bucking go you damn Ghryphon! STOP YOU DAMN FREAK!" As he closed his eyes tring to avoid the beck, he managed to estract from his bag a battery, hitting the ghryphon from a side of tge face, hoping it would be enough to get a distraction"
His head turned quickly towards the sudden intruding pony who came crashing down the stairs down to the hallway from above the deck and with as like an natural instinct, he jumped in front of the alicorn mare and without looking at her, he shouted to her to get back immediately with a powerful commanding tone, while keeping a direct eye contact with the orange interloper. As he stared at him intently for a good few seconds to better inspect the orange/green colored earth pony stallion with quite familiar body paintings and a bone pierced through his nose... Then the sudden realization struck him hard as his eyes went wide first from the shock, before narrowing them and began growling with his teeth exposed like a savage animal towards the pony he never thought to see again in his life, while speaking out words between his teeth with such venom that would kill a hydra. Kinder... You should be dead. Of all the ponies that had to survive the annihilation it had to be you. Your mere presence is an affront towards every living thing. You take a one more step towards me and this mare behind me, I'm going to make you ever regretting running away from the justice like a coward you are, Kinder.
@Doc. Volt She took the blow to the head, flipping off him in mid sky, shook her head and flew back him, hissing loudly. She then proceeded to wink at him playfull, Aww, hitting a female? Did your mother ever, She suddenly slapped him vicously sending him falling towards the ocean below, ANY MANNERS?!!! She dived at him, snatching him in mid air before he touched, then threw him up and kicked him in the stomach. Stupid pony stallion, flying in the skies. The skies belong to the GRYPHONS! @Polaris P-Polaris...? She shivered behind him, who...who is this? Kinder merely let out a dark laugh as he took another firm step towards them. Oh don't you worry about the mare... My captain will take good care of her...he then slipped his hoof behind him, pulling out a dark green vile and drank all of it in front of them. Suddenly his muscles began to buldge forth, making him grow in size and strength before leanding his head forward, snorting with confidence, It's you...who should be worrying about yourself...old traitor of the tribe... She looked at Polaris, then back to the potioned drugged formal tribe/pirate pony...and realized she was only jeparodizing him to fight and protect her at once. Polaris...Be careful... She then focused her magic and teleported swiftly to her room, locking it behind her and proceeded to throw her cape and hood on her head to better hide who she was. These are pirates...they want loot and riches...and if they are here to kidnap too...oh Celestia...She gulped. Then she proceeded to hide in her closet, pushing herself behind her clothes and hoped the others would be able to fight off the intruders. Kinder snorted when he watched the mare teleport away. Hmm..must be a unicorn mare, no matter, we'll deal with her later...Then focused his attention on Polaris. Been a long time since the fall of our tribe...Polaris...He spread his back legs ready to sprint, time to pay your fee for what you did...AHHHHHHHHHHH He charged the brown unicorn in full force, bashing his head into Polaris' chest, crashing them both against the wall making the whole ship tremmble.
GAAH!!! He yelled out in pain as Kinder slammed his head against his chest and crashed him against a wall on the other end of the hallway with such a brute force, that he felt his bones crunching and all the air from his lungs was thrown out instantly and coughed violently on the floor as he tried to get back to standing again. For his unfortune however the brutish earth pony raised up his front hooves and began pommeling him to the ground relentlessly and after a while he stopped, began to grin with a sadistic look on his face before lunging towards the brown unicorn with his teeth that have too been transformed by the elixir to those of a wolf and sank them right in the back of the unicorn's neck. The pain was intolerable and couldn't help but to scream out in excruciating pain, before he felt himself being lifted up and shaken around in the brutish pony's mouth like a ragdoll and thrown against the nearby wall with an equal amount of force of the first slam and hit the floor with a thud, that caused unicorn to grunt in pain. Feeling his body aching from all the damage done by the Kinder and the blood seeping from the back of his neck. With his last hint of strength he tried to gather himself off the floor, look towards the towering hulk that merely chuckled at his beaten body and spoke out in a weak, but defiant tone. I'm... I'm not done with--- *Cough* The sadistic tribal renegade laughed at his futile attempt of trying to stand up to him and was about to smash his head with both of his front hooves, before with a last surge of energy the unicorn jumped towards the hulk and slammed his shoulder against the earth pony's chest with enough force to make him fall over to his back, which was followed by the unicorn lepaing on his side and lunging to his neck and starting to bite it savagely like a rabid dog.
"OUMPFFF!!" Volt spitted mouth while being hit in the stomach, he tried to turn around just before hard hitting the water... begging to try to stay on the surface "nghh.h.. that.. bucking hurts..." Volt said keeping his hoof on his stomach and trying to get on flight "oh i.. " he spitted some blood "sorry, but you grhyphons are so damn ugly i can't tell the difference beetween a male, a female or a bird nest! " Volt spitted another time while keeping one of his eyes closed by the pain, if he had to die then he will die without begging or praying "now what? afraid to .. ngh... to get 'wet' for me Ghryphon? i am waiting for you here" Volt added hoping to release enough electricty in the water to stun his enemy
Suddenly a rope was thrown down to volt"GRAB ON!"he looked up to see a red pegasus who was the one who threw him the rope"DO YOU WANT TO DROWN OR NOT?!"with no choice he grabbed onto the rope and the pegasus hauled him up"WOW YOUR HEAVY!"
