*crimson king looked carefully at meris.*
"and how, exactly, did yuo help me? i believe it was you and one other that was down there insulting me, and threatening me. i believe you two did it deliberatly. i believe i am going to take you before the ruler of ths land and see what they say about it. i am sure that the royals here would be upset to hear that a visiting dignatary has been insulted on their island."

Meris fought to keep his temper once again. He eyed the pirate coldly. "If you recall, my brother was the one who got under your skin. He's the red one. I am the blue one. I asked you what I could do for you...and then you capture a mer child." His ears layed back as he spoke. "And now you have captured another and me." His stare turned dark, forboding. "Do you really think I'm that stupid? You can take me before the royals all you want. It won't matter. Your secret is as good as out." He snorted with disgust. "When exactly were you going to collect your taxes, dear Captain?" He nashed his teeth. "And if I do recall.." He glared into the pirate's eyes. "You are not the reigning king here. You have no right to gather your taxes." He pawed the ground, keeping his earthen shape. "Now, I'll ask you again, dear Captain.." He spit the words out like lemons. "Is this your final descision? Do you all swim?"

OceanBreeze changed to her pony form, almost forgetting about her drying tail.
"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." The pony said.
"Let him go. Now" She demanded. "I don't want to show you what damage I can do." There was no twinkle in her eye. No smiled on her face, she really ment this. "Let him go" she repeated.

Halo whacked her tail against the tub side. The glass broke, and she was free! Floods os water pooled on the deck, Halo amoung them. She quickly changed form so she wouldnt dry out. In her pegasus form, her wings were visible properly now. She shook off the water.
Cresent Moon, the Princess, was walking down the docks when she saw the commotion on the deck of a ship. She wondered what was going on. She took off silently, and hovered just below the ship's side. Her gold tiara sparkled in the sunlight, and she knew she had to hide it, but where?

*crimson king glared at them all. his ship was his kingdom, but did not he want it sunk.*
"fine, leave my ship. then, leave me and my crew alone. we want nothing to do with you. i never wanted anything to do with you. i started out trying to be nice, and that backfired. from now on, i won't be nice. ever. so, just leave. i'll leave. and we won't have to worry about each other again."
*crimson king didn't know if they were bluffing or not, and frankly, he didn't care. he was tired. and he had to plan a new strategy.*

Halo shook her mane, and jumped off the ship. She changed quickly back to mer form, sliding into the water gracefully. She didnt see the patterned Princess on her way down. She waited in the water for the others. The Captain has said they would all go free, didnt he?
Crescent Moon heard the Captain's saying, and landed on deck. 'Whats been going on here?' Then she realised she had landed without permission and took off again. She stayed hovering in the air though. Her gold tiara was still upon her head.

Meris stared at the pirate captain. He had made his choice and it was to save himself and his ship. Perking his ears, he heard a splash. That must have been Halo. The captain seemed to be letting them go one by one. Still, Meris could not understand how this stallion thought, and basically believed, that his actions were anything but hostile. Kidnapping was one of the worst crimes, in his opinion, especially of two young mers. The captain must have had a few screws loose and they were rattling around inside that brain of his, impairing his judgment. At least he had enough sense to know when he was beaten. Meris had to smirk on that thought, but quickly the smile left him as his expression laxed into nothing. His voice however was not hostile anymore. "You are quite wise, Captain...." He didn't get to finish.
"Whats been going on here?" His ears perked, one to the side, the other forward. He thought he recognized the voice but he wasn't sure. He did fall silent, waiting to see what would happen.

Moon's tiara sparkled. 'I'm Crescent Moon. What WAS going on here then?'
She didnt think it wise to say she was one of the Princesses, but she'd forgotten about her tiara when she had talked.

*he glanced around, watching out for mers....*
"nothing more than a slight misunderstanding. you have permission to land, by the way."
*he looked around at the crew, who was doing their work.*
"if you are hungry, i was just getting ready to eat."
*he knew he was still in his armor, but he decided if she wasn't going to say anything about her tiara, he wasn't going to say anything about his armor. *

"I'll tell you what was going on here." OceanBreeze said "This pirate kidnapped that young mer in the water, them Meris then me, but he let me go then and he will let Meris go as soon as he tells his gaurds to get off him!" she was raged at this point. He said he would let all of them go yet his gaurds were still holding Meris.
MidnightRose smiled and climbed up onto the ship too.

Crescent Moon frowned. 'Let him go at once!!' She said, landing lightly on the deck, keeping away from the crew. She looked at his armor. 'Why are you wearing armor? There isnt a war or anything.' She asked, a little more politely.

OceanBreeze nodded. She agreed with this new pony. "Why are you wearing armor?" she wondered.
"Whats goin' on?" MidnightRose asked.

Meris had been silent as the captain spoke to Crescent Moon, the young princess. He couldn't help but wonder how the pirate was going to get out this one. He'd been caught with his armor and two captive mers. It didn't look good for him. The blue mer, turned earth pony, gave a smirk as the princess asked about the armor. How would this pirate explain away that? And even if he could, would she believe him? Meris' smirk started to turn into a grin, but he quickly stifled it. Instead he forced his expression to go cold and another pony entered the ship, a unicorn female. The mer male glanced at her quickly then turned his attention back to the princess and the pirate, waiting the captain's answer, toying with the idea of telling the princess the truth about the purple pirate's plans if he tried to pass a lie. Then again, Redbow may have already passed the news on to the king and queen, themselves.
Then, like a cold current, a horrible relization came over him. The princess was an eight year old and could easily be captured. The unicorn female didn't give him any comfort, either. She was female, easily overpowered by a strong male. And there were too many crew members to take on himself. Meris felt his stomach turns a few times and tighten like a knotted rope. He could always call on those of the sea if things got ungly, but could he save the princess and the mare? He looked back at the pirate captain. "He better not..." he said it to himself, his glaring eyes boring holes into the pirate. "He better not..."
