As the ponies were being sent by the Unity Crystals to their next location, Opaline had arrived in the mortal world herself... more specifically on Burger Beard's ship. As soon as she arrived, Burger Beard had her follow his map to something that he was sure could help them in their domination schemes. Burger Beard assured her in his gravelly pirate voice that she had nothing to worry about.

They had been... confidants ever since Burger Beard accidentally mistook her for a horse to pull one of his treasure wagons, but after that misunderstanding had been cleared up, they realized they had their dreams of domination in common, and would make sure they would keep finding ways to help them both get what they want.

And finally, Burger Beard thought he had finally found it.

Burger Beard and Opaline finally pulled the dinghy onto the shores of an island known as the Bikini Atoll, the dark alicorn panting tiredly, since she did not have her dragon fire magic. "That was EXHAUSTING!!" she exclaimed. "That treasure better be close by, or else... well, you probably don't want to know or else."

"Do not worry, beautiful maiden," Burger Beard assured her slyly. "You have gotten me this far, and now... I shall lead us the rest if the way."

He took out his map, and Opaline glanced over his shoulder to see that the treasure they were looking for was on the opposite side of the island!

Opaline groaned to herself. This was just great... now her hooves would be completely chipped by the time she got back to Burger Beard's accursed boat!

Nevertheless, she decided to follow the pirate and see what all the hullabaloo was really about.

Later, Burger Beard was chopping through the branches on the island while Opaline was trying to avoid anything that would ruin her complexion, such as mud and twigs and insects.

Soon enough, they stopped so Burger Beard could look at his map again, and that's when Opaline saw a sign with the words 'Booby Traps' in big letters, obviously a warning. "Booby traps? HA!!"

She used a blast of her magic to destroy the sign, leaving it in crumpled flaming pieces as she and Burger Beard walked on, passing a skeleton on the ground, a tarantula within it as they smirked to themselves.

Another minute passed, and they saw something, making them quickly halt. Before them was a clear path leading to a skeleton who is holding a book, sitting on a chair. "Ah..." Burger Beard sighed. "There you are, my lovely."

"...a book?" Opaline deadpanned before looking at the pirate with a furious expression. "WE WALKED THROUGH MILES OF JUNGLE AND RUINED MY QUEENLY IMAGE FOR A BOOK?!"

"N-N-Not just any book, my dear Opaline!" Burger Beard protested out of fright. "This book has magical properties, to which we will use to rewrite our stories and make them the way WE want them to be. You as Equestria's rightful alicorn leader, and me as the richest pirate in the seven seas."

Opaline seemed to consider this. Sure, this pirate fool had dragged her out here through miles of jungle, but... the thoughts of being Equestria's true queen was enough to get her excited beyond compare... though not as excited as she would have been with the dragon fire.

How could she possibly say no to an offer like that? "All right... but I'm not laying a hoof to get it for you. I'm Opaline Arcana, not some sort of treasure fetching hound."

"Of course not. You shall stay here while I retrieve my-- er, uh... OUR prize."

He then walked down the path, evading every booby trap on the path, silently impressing Opaline.
