A sort of epilogue based off ideas from Alloyrabbit when he had finished his Battleship ponies series found here http://alloyrabbit.deviantart.com/gallery/49089296/Battleship-Ponies

I recommend taking a look at the comic before reading to get an idea of the previous action.

>this was it
>the last moments of battle were upon them
>Cap’n Anon stood valiantly on his temporary vessel
>it was one of the allied Alicarrier’s last fighter ponies
>to be more precise, he was clutching onto it for dear life
>pirates were not meant to fly
>regardless, he kept up his bravado as he swung his cutlass with a free arm
>”Yarr! There be our prize!”
>he pointed the thumbtack sized sword at the enemy Alicarrier
>”Prepare to open fire!”
>he swung his sword wildly for dramatic effect
>with a grunt from the fighter, they flew in towards the enemy ship
***
>Rainbow’s Alicarrier watched with concern as the small aircraft drew closer
>there was a small green monkey in a hat hooting and hollering on top of it
>confused as to why her commander wasn’t issuing any orders, she turned about
>Rainbow was preoccupied, trying to dislodge a feather from her trachea
>the enemy Alicarrier turned back to see the fighter let loose a torpedo
>she watched in horror as it sped towards her, unable to maneuver out of the way
>THWACK
>it struck her side with a solid metallic thud
>luckily the game pieces didn’t actually explode
***
>Cap’n Anon swung his cutlass about, almost hitting his ride in the process
>”That be hit five lass, we win!”
>it was true, Rainbow’s team had lost
>hacking enough to remove the offending feather, Rainbow had to admit defeat
>she hung over the side of her spa tub, removing the last of the dusty debris from her throat
>”Fine…whatever”
>”I’ve had enough boats, that one’s all yours”
>accepting her victory gracefully, Fluttershy reached over and grabbed the enemy Alicarrier
>as she lifted her prize, her Alicarrier, the last surviving piece, floated nearby
>she saluted her soon to be eaten counterpart
>Fluttershy brought the piece to her mouth and bit through the boat portion
>it was reduced to splinters but left the pony it was attached to unscathed
>her tongue slowly snaked its way around the pony’s body and pulled it inside
>Fluttershy lifted her head skyward and swallowed, her face contorted with effort
>only a small bulge in her slender neck marked the passage of the enemy alicarrier
>Rainbow, in a show of apparent sportsmanship, congratulated the other team
>”Well! Good game!”
>she held out a blue hoof, almost too eagerly
>”I’d love to shake the hoof of the little green dude who beat me.”
>Fluttershy was already getting out of her spa tub
>it had been enough excitement for one day
>she collected the remnants of the game
>and gently picked up her Alicarrier
>it deserved a good long rest
>”O-oh, ok. Just be gentle with him, if that’s ok with you…”
>she could trust Rainbow to handle him with care
>after all, the game was over now
>right?
>as Fluttershy left to dry, a wide smile crept over Rainbow’s face
>Cap’n Anon and the fighter pony were still lazily buzzing about above Rainbow’s head
>he tapped his ride on the side of its head
>”Take us down, lad.”
>he motioned to the flat plane of Rainbow’s outstretched hoof
>they landed, ready to parley with the titanic pony
>neither of them took much note as her hoof seemed to be inching closer to her muzzle
>Cap’n Anon was too busy basking in the glory of his victory
>this was going to make one hell of a fish story
>”T’was well played!”
>they were both practically in front of Rainbow’s mouth at this point
>she cast a sly glance around the room, Fluttershy was already gone
>she was scheduled for a deep tissue massage after this and would be occupied for at least another hour
>no one was around but Rainbow and the two figures standing on her hoof
>no witnesses
>”Yeah, it w-“
>she interrupted herself to stuff her hoof into her mouth, Cap’n and the fighter included
>both of them were caught by surprise as they were flung into her maw
>in the ensuing chaos, Cap’n Anon dropped his cutlass, it flying to the side of Rainbow’s mouth
>he bounced back along the massive tongue towards the back of her mouth
>the tongue bucked and wriggled, rapidly pushing him closer and closer to her throat
>just before he reached the end, he spotted his cutlass, jammed between two back molars
>he was just barely close enough to reach, holding onto it with saliva-slicked hands
>the jammed blade barely held up to his momentum, his hat flying off below
>in front of him was the expanse of the gigantic mouth
>her lips were still slightly parted as he could see the outside just beyond
>below him was a hungry abyss
>he hung on as tightly as he could
>looking down, Anon could see deep down her throat before it tapered off to inky blackness
>he heard a cry of warning and tore his vision away from the pit below to the sight of the fighter careening towards him
>just before the impact, Anon’s face fell
>”Argh, flog me boat sideways”
>they collided in a jumble of limbs and saliva, both of them flying off the edge into the darkness below
>the cutlass was dislodged from the impact and landed harmlessly in the middle of her tongue
***
>Rainbow Dash wasn’t one to take such a cheap loss so easily
>she had been cheated by that miniature pirate and his stupid feather
>it was only fair that she claim what was rightfully hers
>and so she did
>both front hooves behind her head, Rainbow floated lazily on her back as the drama inside her mouth played out
>plastered across her muzzle was a grin of smug victory
>she felt the two figures slide to the back and into her throat
>with an audible gulp she sent the two on their way to meet with the rest of fleet resting in her belly
>much smaller than the previous boatponies she had swallowed, she barely felt them as they were dragged deep into her
>soon enough, their trip had ended and they were deposited securely in her stomach
>she let out a sigh of contented satisfaction and remained floating on her back, gently rubbing her belly
***
>Anon’s head was spinning as he tumbled into the tube below him
>getting body slammed by a full-sized horse tends to take the wind out of you
>though at least it wasn’t one of the larger warships
>he doubted that he would’ve survived a head-on collision with one of them
>the slick flesh compressed and kneaded the two further down
>all around them were the sounds of a living body
>the great thumping of Rainbow’s heartbeat was by far the most dominant
>after an endless claustrophobic journey downwards, they found themselves pushed into a more spacious chamber
>vision still swimming, Anon struggled to his feet
>the ubiquitous heartbeat was now being masked by the groaning sounds of the stomach around them
>the first thing he noticed was that it was warm, almost unbearably so
>and moist, very moist 
>it almost felt like an afternoon in the dead of summer after a heavy downpour
>the walls were in constant motion, rippling and rolling, making it difficult to stand
>looking about, he saw his companion nearby, unconscious from their rough descent
>wait, he saw?
>it was then he realized for the first time that there was light in the flesh prison
>several beams cut through the darkness, dimly illuminating the confined space
>he traced one of the beams to their source to find a pair of bored eyes on an equally unexpressive face
>it was Fluttershy’s Battleship
>she had a few searchlights attached to the boat portion and was using them as an impromptu flashlight
>looking around, he saw other members of the fleet, both from Fluttershy’s and Rainbow’s
>Submarine was busy off to one side, trying to clean grime off of her goggles with her tail
>the Carriers from both sides held each other in mutual misery
>of course there was Battleship, looking appropriately disinterested
>the only one missing was Destr-
>”HI THERE!”
>a bubbly voice burst forth from behind Anon
>he leapt forward with a startled cry, rolling along the soft floor and into a puddle of liquid
>”Hehehe, oops. Sorry there mister!”
>Anon wiped the muck from his eyes to see the vague shape of Destroyer
>she was eagerly waving a hoof towards him
>she had already placed the unconscious fighter safely on her deck
>”I guess she got you too, huh?”
>Destroyer motioned to the pulsating walls around them
>”Aye, the treacherous landlubber pulled a fast one, she did.”
>Battleship finally spoke up
>”Well at least you didn’t have a terrible commander who got you eaten.”
>one of the two Cruisers began wailing
>”I wasn’t even on your team and she still ate me!”
>she clutched her twin closer as both began crying anew
>Battleship rolled her eyes
>”You know it wouldn’t be nearly as bad in here if I wasn’t stuck with these two crybabies.”
>out of instinct, anon went to place his trusty hat on his head
>cursing his luck, he remember that he had lost it on the way down
>”Pardon me lass, but ye haven’t seen me hat by any chance?”
>Destroyer shook her head but Battleship motioned behind her
>”Yeah, but good luck getting it little guy. It fell over on the other side of the stomach there.”
>confused as to why it was a bad thing, Anon went to speak
>before he could ask, Battleship simply swiveled one of the lights over to the darkness on the other side
>the beam landed right were his hat lay
>suddenly, a mechanical claw reached out of the darkness just beyond the light and snatched the tiny hat between its two pincers
>it retreated back into the gloom just as quickly as it appeared
>Battleship shrugged and turned the light back to its original position
>Anon had seen many creatures of the sea on his travels but never something like that
>”What manner of beast be that?”
>Destroyer sidled up next to Anon
>or at least as close a mammoth shippony many times his size could get
>she whispered under her breath
>”That’s Minelayer. She’s not very nice.”
>Anon scratched his head in bewilderment, not entirely sure that he believed what he had seen
>”Arrgh, I don’t remember any such vessel, sailin’ the line o’ battle”
>Destroyer could only shrug and offer an apologetic look
>”She kind of just appeared one day. We don’t know where she came from.”
>their discussion was interrupted with the chamber around them suddenly shifting
***
>Rainbow’s meal had settled nicely in her belly
>she spent a few minutes floating in her tub enjoying the feeling of a full stomach
>noticing something in her mouth, she spat it out into her hoof
>it was Anon’s cutlass
>chuckling to herself, she used it as a toothpick before flicking it away
>her session was almost over and it was time to leave soon
>she should probably get out before Fluttershy finished anyways
>she didn’t want to explain where Anon and the fighter were, not without an alibi anyways
>hopping out of the tub, she gave her belly one last pat before going to dry off
***
>Anon and the collection of shipponies tumbled about inside Rainbow’s stomach
>he would’ve been smashed if it wasn’t for Destroyer’s quick thinking
>she scooped him up in her hooves and held him secure between the small space between them
>luckily, Anon was just small enough to fit
>once all of the motion had stopped, anon emerged from Destroyer’s hooves
>all the ponies were jumbled in a mess of metal, cannons and legs
>they were all groaning and busy attempting to detach from each other
>the fighter h ad somehow managed to remain on Destroyer’s deck, unharmed
>looking to the side, he spotted his hat nearby
>what luck!
>but, if his hat was near, that meant that so was…
>he turned around and was greeted by the horrifying face of Minelayer
>her smile was wide, too wide for her face, and was filled with dozens of sharp teeth
>her eyes were tiny pinpoints and focused directly on him
>”You…aren’t thinking of taking my new hat are you…?”
>her voice was akin to a mix of the feeling of having oozing oil covering you and metal pieces screeching together
>in a flash, her crane reached over and snatched the hat
>she scurried off into the dark
>it wasn’t until she was almost gone that Anon realized that she had left a farewell present
>an old naval mine
>not daring to move, Anon opted to speak up to get the shipponies’ attention
>”Ahoy lasses? We have a problem.”
>Destroyer, who was closest to hear him, looked up from the jumble
>she let out a cry of distress and instinctively kicked out
>her hoof connected with the mine, but luckily didn’t cause it to detonate
>not yet at least
>it flew towards one of the walls of Rainbow’s stomach and detonated in a bright flash
>the entire chamber was briefly illuminated, revealing Minelayer
>she had that gigantic grin on and was surrounded by a small mountain of mines
>better not go that way, Anon noted to himself
>as the light faded, the stomach began to rumble and groan in protest
>this gave Anon an idea to escape
>the ponies had finally managed to untangle themselves free
>anon climbed onto Destroyer’s head and stood on her muzzle
>”Listen up me mateys. I’ve got me a plan of escaping this leviathan.”
>Battleship scoffed
>”You think that you can get us out? You’re tiny, what are you going to do?”
>one of the Cruisers spoke up
>”Yeah, there’s no way out of here!”
>her twin followed up
>”We’re trapped in here. We should just give up! We’re doomed!”
>they both linked two of their front legs and spoke in unison
>”Doooooooomed!”
>sensing he was losing control, he spoke up quickly
>”Are ye Men-o-war or are ye just content feedin’ the fishes?”
>he motioned towards the cannons on Battleship’s deck
>”We’ve got the firepower to fight our way out”
>he crossed his arms and muttered
>”Besides, it’s this or Davy Jones’ locker”
>Destroyer spoke up, careful to not knock anon off her snout
>”I trust him, I think we can do this!”
>Battleship, still with a sour look retorted
>”You trust everyone, Destroyer. Still, it’s not like I had anything better to do today.”
>Anon outlined the plan
>all the shipponies were to unleash a full broadside in unison to make Rainbow sick enough to cough them up
>with a few minor objectives from the Cruisers, they all agreed to it
>all of the warships line up bow to stern and rotated their turrets to fine
>Submarine, who had no cannons, instead stood at the end to launch her torpedoes
>on Anon’s mark, they all fired at once, unleashing a massive display of firepower
>unfortunately, like the torpedo used against the Alicarrier, shells from the game pieces didn’t explode
***
>rainbow was lazily flying about, looking for a good spot to take a nap
>her midsection began rumbling slightly
>she placed a hoof on it to get it to settle down but to no avail
>it wasn’t painful, just annoying
>getting fed up, she flew off towards Twilight’s place
>maybe she’d have something to calm her belly down
***
>after several salvoes, the shipponies were running low on ammunition
>Battleship stomped a hoof and shouted over the din
>”Some bright idea, this isn’t working!”
>they were going to need come up with another plan and fast
>because their ammunition didn’t detonate, they lacked the sheer oomph to push Rainbow over the edge
>suddenly a thought came to Anon
>the shipponies might not have live ammo because they were from the game
>but Minelayer wasn’t from the game
***
>Rainbow landed at Twilight’s place
>once inside, she explained her stomach woes
>Twilight was unsure what she could do
>maybe if she listened to Rainbow’s stomach, she might be able to figure out the problem
***
>it was risky but it was the only way
>Anon needed to rile up Minelayer enough to get her to detonate all her mines
>it would either give them the punch they needed
>or blow them all to smithereens
>he really hoped it wasn’t the latter
>leaving the warships to continue firing
>he crept towards minelayer
>she was sitting in the darkness, occasionally lit up by the muzzle flashes
>Anon’s hat was perched on her hand, looking comically tiny in comparison
>he managed to creep behind her unseen
>springing to action, he leapt for the hat, grabbing it as he landed and rolled away
>”Yarr! This’ll learn ya to steal from a pirate!”
>he tumbled away as Minelayer snapped to attention
>her face contorted into a visage of pure rage
>instead of giving chase, the same awful grin reappeared
>she lazily reached over to one of the mines with her crane
>she flung the first one and in an instant was already reaching for another
>mine after mine, she launched them at the small figure, each one activating as they landed
>the warships stopped firing when they noticed the commotion
>eyes wide as saucers, they circled up to guard against the explosion
>Anon managed to dive behind Destroyer just as they hunkered down 
>he pulled his hat tight against his head
>and everything went white
***
>Twilight brought a stethoscope to Rainbow’s abdomen
>putting it up to her ears, she listened in
>was…that an explosion?
>she looked up in confusion to see Rainbow’s face twist in something between shock and pain
>her cheeks puffed out and she let loose an intense belch
>all of the shipponies and Anon were catapulted out and into the room
>they landed in various places, Battleship saving Anon by catching him
>”Thank ye, lass. I wont be forgetting that”
>Battleship blushed and turned away
>”Yeah, whatever little guy”
>he hopped off of Battleship’s hooves and realized that once again, his hat was missing
>he didn’t go through all this trouble to leave it behind now
>looking around he spotted it nearby
>he ran for it, retrieving it without much issue
>it was wet, torn, covered with unidentifiable grim and a horrifying scent
>just as normal!
>he placed it on his head with a wet splurt as a shadow grew over him
>looking up, he saw a great purple hoof over him as Twilight backpedaled in shock
>”Arrrgh, shiver me timbers…”
>the hoof came down with a thud
***
>hours later, Twilight had finished rounding up the scattered game pieces that Rainbow had burped up
>she finally got the whole story out of Rainbow
>after scolding her on the dangers of eating small pieces of plastic, she took the remaining pieces to Fluttershy
>Rainbow had told her that she had taken the board after their game
>exhausted, Twilight went to bed early
>a small green figure climbed up Twilight’s mane as she fell asleep
>Anon had barely missed being crushed
>he hid in the same small space under her hooves that Destroyer had held him in
>finally reaching her ears, he stood in victory
>he took a small hook and placed it on one of the folds of her ear
>”Yarr! I be commandeering this here pony under the laws of the sea!”
