*crimson king walked back on deck. he knew it was likely the ponies in the sea heard what he was up to, and that was fine. he was in high spirits. he walked to the railing and looked down. there, right below him, was a pony swimming. he grinned to himself and backed slowly away from the railing, not to disturb the little thing swimming below. he figured that if he had one of their own on board, the two pesky boys would leave him be in return for the little one's safety. he grabbed a net, and lowered it under the lilac haired child. with a nod to the crew, the net swooped up quickly and the merpony was then pulled on deck where a bucket of sea water was waiting. he grinned at the little pony*
"well, mates, look at this beauty! she'll fit right in, won't ya say?"

Halo panicked!! She was in the sea a minute ago, and now on deck in a tub like thing. The little 10 year old swam around the tub, splashing water over the top. Her golden halo symbol sparkled, even under the water in the tub. She swam around even more, looking for a way out to escape back to the sea. Then she remembered!! How silly of her to panic. Her wings!! She could change form and fly out. She slowly rose to the surface, so as not to make it seem as though she was going to attempt to escape.

*crimson king smiled gently at her. noticing the halo, and wondering what he had caught, but not wanting to disturb her much more than she was. he tried to look as non-threatening as possible, even in his armor.*
"welcome to my ship, the crimson tide. i have extended my hospitality to you so that i can prove to the others down there who call me a pirate, that i am indeed, no such thing. can i get anything for you? something to eat, perhaps?"
*the crew wondered at what craziness their captain was getting into, but decided, probably for the best, to play along. eventually, the little merpony would be moved below decks, but for now, the captain was trying to negotiate. this was odd, considering his earlier remark was to kill the mers...*

Meris heard the capture. He jumped clear out of the water onto one of the closer rocks. His worst fear was confirmed. One of his kind was trapped on the deck of the ship. His grew wide then narrowed in anger. "That dirty..." he trailed off. Looking back at Ocean Breeze he said, "Stay here, ok?" it was more like an order than anything else. "Don't let them see you." With those words lingering in the air, Meris dove into the water and swam quickly back to the ship. Without so much as a splash he leaped onto the deck. He glared up at the ship, perking his ears, listening for any sign that the filly was alive.
"Welcome to my ship, the crimson tide. I have extended my hospitality to you so that i can prove to the others down there who call me a pirate, that i am indeed, no such thing. Can i get anything for you? Something to eat, perhaps?"
Meris' ears pinned back against his skull as soon as he heard the captain's last sentence. "Redbow was right about them." He looked back at his own tail. It was drying. His eyes came back to the ship. "That dirty, lying, son of a..." he trailed off again, thinking, trying to figure out what to do. Finally he just decided to call him out. With a quick glance to make sure Ocean Breeze was still where he had left her, Meris called to the captain. "Let the filly go, pirate.." He didn't care about keeping things smooth at the moment. For all he cared, the purple pony could stew in his anger. It was his own fault for showing his true colors.

Halo heard the other merponies, and realized that the tub was too small for her to change her form, to take off and fly away.
"Welcome to my ship, the crimson tide. I have extended my hospitality to you so that i can prove to the others down there who call me a pirate, that i am indeed, no such thing. Can i get anything for you? Something to eat, perhaps?"
She heard the pirate captain say this, and just glared at him through the glass. She turned in the tub, then tried concentrating hard. She was trying to control the pirate's mind, but it wasnt working. It might of been because he was a unicorn, or because her power wasnt that developed yet.

*crimson king shook his head sadly and looked at the mer who had jumped onto his ship.*
"poor delusional pony. i have done nothing wrong but to try to prove to you i am not what you think i am. i ask you to either get back into the sea or get into the tub here, before you dry out. i don't really want anything to happen to you. i will let the little filly go as soon as i can. for now, though, i want to extend my hospitality towards her. and you too, if you should need it."
*crimson king really wanted to kill the mer, but he knew he shouldn't do that in front of the filly.*
"i would hate to think that something would happen because of your interference."

Meris did not trust the captain one bit. He shook his head to toss his rainbow locks out of his face. He checked his fin. He was almost dry. He looked at the tub with the poor little filly splashing around in it. That should never happen to any mer, especially a child. His gaze turned back into a glare as the captain spoke again.
"Poor delusional pony. I have done nothing wrong but to try to prove to you I am not what you think I am. I ask you to either get back into the sea or get into the tub here, before you dry out. I don't really want anything to happen to you. I will let the little filly go as soon as I can. for now, though, I want to extend my hospitality towards her. And you too, if you should need it." The Captain finished.
Meris had just about had enough of this. His purple eyes came to rest back on the Captain and he tried to regain his composure. It was hard, but he managed to do it. Calmly, the mer replied to the Captain. "How can you say you have done nothing wrong? You caught her in a net, not asking if she wanted to come aboard. No. " He began to shift his form. "You took her against her will." His fins became strong back legs and his symbol appearded on both his sides along with a rainbow locked tail. "You kidnapped her." He was now an earth pony and he stood defiantly. "I was ok with you and your crew, but now I know you are as twisted as any pirate, regaurdless if you are or aren't. All I see is the capture of this child and, from the way she was splashing around, she does not appear to want your 'hospitality'." He walked closer with each word. "And as you can see, I am not in need..." He stopped, nose to nose with a snort. "Of it either." He nashed his teeth before adding, "So, you have two choices. Let her go without incident or...." He narrowed his violet eyes on the purple pony. "Or you face us, the ponies of the sea. And I guarantee there are more of us than their are of you." He stood tall with a sneer on his muzzle. "Either way, the filly goes free, but it's your choice how you and your crew members make out."

OceanBreeze knew trouble when she saw it. She made a light storm come overhead so the sky over the sea suited the mood. She couldn't bear to have one of the only of her kind that she kewn captured. She swam rapidly towards the deck.
"So, you have two choices. Let her go without incident or...."
She heard them speak as she came closer.
"Or you face us, the ponies of the sea. And I guarantee there are more of us than their are of you." She saw a sneer appear on Meris' face before he continued "Either way, the filly goes free, but it's your choice how you and your crew members make out."
OceanBreeze leaped onto deck "Sorry Meris. I can't let anymore MerPonys go without me trying to help after my parents." A tear appeared on her cheek before she transformed to show a tail. Not ment for swimming but a land ponys tail. She winked at the pony in the tub as if to say 'everything's goin' to be fine'

Halo looked at the other mers. Did the mare know what she was doing? She glanced at the captain again, glaring.

"how funny. three for the price of one."
*his horn glowed and a force shield formed around meris and ocean breeze. they had boarded his ship without permission,, threatening him and his ship. he wasn't going to tolerate this outrage. he growled low in his throat at the threats.*
"you know, i tried to be nice, and it was you little sea-punks that started with the threats and insults. now, you have boarded my ship without my permission, so, i say to the brig with you!"
*several of the pirates and crimson king escorted them down to the brig, the force shield still around them.*

"Ah! Let go of me!" OceanBreeze cried. Just before she left she said. "Let us all go, or pay, with something you will miss." OceanBreeze looked small but she had controll over the sky, if it was over the sea. She could do alot of destruction. This is why she kept her power hidden. In case she needed to use it.

MidnightRose was wandering around the docks. She saw a pirate ship and decided to come for a closer look. She got into the water and swam up to the side of it. A ladder was hanging off the side, like on any ship so she climed up. She made only her hair and the top of her head visable.

*crimson king arched an eyebrow at the little pony.*
"i did not start this, little one. your friend right there did by insulting me. i had only wanted a nice conversation. it did not have to come to this. perhaps after a while, after i have a chance to cool off for a bit, we can see what to do about you. you will get nothing less than the best treatment in the brig."
*crimson king watched the two carefully. he honestly did not start this, it was the little punk that started calling him a pirate. he shook his mane a bit.*
"but, you're right, little one. i will allow you to go. you did not do anything here other than come aboard my ship. you have yet to insult me. i will allow you to go. as for the boy, here, he will remain with me until he apologizes for his insolence."

Meris allowed himself to be carried to the brig. He was trying to keep his temper. He watched as the girl was released. He was glad of that but almost came unglued when he heard that the pirate would not release him unless he apologized to him. Glaring at the purple pony, the mer in earth form, stared at him. "I tried to help you once, remember? Then you turn and capture one of our little ones." He narrowed his eyes on the crew members and Crimson King, himself. He suddenly became rather cool and very calm, but frightening in a sense."Is this your final descision?" He looked defiantly yet cooly into his eyes. "Think carefully..." He leaned back with a slight smile. "Or lean to swim, Captain."
