Pirate X-Over: The Mysteries Of 'Black' { Ninja & Angel }

Will listened to the woman. His eyes narrowed slightly as she seemed to think that his plan was foolish. Well, she didn't know him. Besides, the British Royal Navy was far better than any pirate vessel. And with the Interceptor and Dauntless here in Port Royal they could easily go after the pirate and take him out. "Well I'm glad you have a somewhat conscience." His tone was a bit mocking. He didn't really know or care really if what she said about stopping Low was her game or not. He was wasting time. "Have fun with that when you swing." He turned and quickly left.

He made his way through the town. He had to ask several soldiers where Commodore Norrington and the Governor were before finding them. "The pirates have Abigail. And they killed Elizabeth." He just blurted it out surprising everyone. That in turn led to some questions and someone retrieving the body and then taking to the mansion where the Governor flung himself over it.

"Elizabeth." The man was obviously in pain but so was Will. And they didn't have time.

"The pirate ship is only a few hours ahead. Let us set sail, catch them, sink their vessel and rescue Abigail."

Commodore Norrington snorted. "Right. If you can't tell we are way tied up at the moment. I'm not sending even one vessel out until we can sort this out. The Spaniards might catch wind and use this to take advantage of us. No." He turned to the Governor. "I recommend we leave be. The pirates are long gone and chasing them would be a futile waste of time that would leave us vulnerable. I sympathize that the girl is gone but she's no doubt been ravished and killed by now." He shrugged. "That's the nature of pirates."

Will's hand tightened on his ax. The fact that the man just was callous about it sickened him. It was probably true. The girl would have undoubtedly been used by now. If she was still alive she'd be wishing she wasn't. But...that slight chance that she was alive was all he cared about. He wouldn't leave her to that fate if there was an opportunity to help.

He wondered what he could do. He could try to commodore a ship. What did he know about that? He didn't even know how to sail that well. With a bit of a reluctance and humility he came back to the prison. "If I break you out of here will you help me rescue Abigail?" He asked.

At her comment, Will realized his grip was a bit tight. Part of him remembered she was a woman and he did loosen up. Even with his hatred of pirates there was still just a slight bit reservation in hurting a female. Especially one as despicable as her. He let her arm go. He turned away. Insanity. The pirate was right. Only an insane man would attack a heavily defended town with only one ship. The fact he got away with it was a bit sad. It also showed how unprepared they had been. No doubt some heads would roll for it. But that wasn't his concern now. His concern was for Abigail. He owed Elizabeth that much. Not to mention, he knew Abigail and though they hadn't been real close, they had spent time together when hanging out with Elizabeth. He couldn't leave the sweet girl to this Low - especially if he was that insane. Will knew men. He could only imagine what they would do to someone like her.

He turned away. "I have to hunt him down. The Interceptor is in the cove. It hadn't been touched - I'm sure. But it's the fastest ship in the fleet. I'll get the Commodore to hunt him down and bring Abigail back." He didn't really say it so much for her sake but more to himself. He turned and looked at the pirate. "You probably should never have become a pirate." He lectured. There was just the slightest feeling of pity for her. She'd hang no doubt. And with the town just hit by pirates, no doubt there will be a lot of people wanting to take their anger out on her. Lying or not, it was obvious that she was not with the pirates that attacked. They would have freed her. They took Abigail so they were here. Of course, maybe they gave up as they couldn't unlock the doors. Stupid pirates. He built these bars. They were fairly easy to open if you knew how to do it. But they didn't. Not many pirates were blacksmiths.

He wondered if she was lying about Low though. That made him hesitate just slightly. What if it was someone else? No. She was probably right. Will had heard of the man. He did sound insane. And even if it wasn't, the Interceptor would track the pirates down, rescue the girl and sink the pirates once and for all. Still...why would she tell the truth. He turned back slightly puzzled. "What is your game?" He inquired curious. "You don't win either way so why be honest? What's your play?" Maybe she wanted revenge too. After all, they left her here.

The Fancy. The name alone brought back memories.

"Cap'n, she's gainin' on us."

"I knew it." one of the men cried out. "Nobody outruns the Fancy. He crossed himself.

Cannon fire. Flames. Smoke. The uncurling of the Black Skulls and Crossbones. The cries of men dying as the ship was torn apart. Being separated from his father. "Hang onto the board, William. Don't let go for the life of you. I'm going to go find another piece."

The sinking wreckage of the ship done in by pirates who hadn't even given her the courtesy of boarding.

"Edward Low." The words came out like a hiss. "He is the Captain of the Fancy?" Will demanded. This would not only be a chance to rescue Abigail but it could bring the revenge he had long sought. "How can you be sure it was him?" He demanded coming over and pulling her into the bars. "Tell me." His grip wasn't too kind and there was an intensity in his eyes.

Edward Low. So he was the man responsible for the death of his father. The death of Elizabeth. And the capture of Abigail. He would pay. Will would see to it.

The waves washed up on the beach. The water rolls over the boy who is barely alive. He coughs, spitting out water, his vision hazy. He doesn't know how he managed to wash up here. He remembers the cannon fire. The crashing of wood, the screams of dying men. He remembers his father, blood on his face shielding him as the last lifeboat is blown to smithereens. It's snippets really. Everything happened so fast and as it was, he could barely stay conscious. A young girl's face appears in front of his blurry vision. "He's alive, Father!" Her words seem so far away. Cradling his head, the girl sits beside him while the grown ups run toward them. "I'm Elizabeth." A smile forms on her face. To him, she was an angel.

Will looked the female pirate over briefly. For some reason he actually believed her. The irony in that. Pirates were never honest. But there was something that made him feel like this time she was. Besides, he could see the evidence of where the cannon ball came flying in. The shrapnel on Elizabeth testified that it was that which had killed her. His ax lowered slightly. At her comment about Abigail he turned and looked back at her.

Soft bed. Clean clothes. Warm soup filling his stomach. The beautiful angel sitting at his side holding his hand. Noise from the doorway. The girl looks over as another one, much younger enters. A mass of freckles dots her face and she is nowhere near as pretty as the angel beside him. "This is my cousin Abigail." Elizabeth nodded toward her. "Abigail, this is Will. He's our guest for awhile. He needs our care."

The younger girl hangs back but gives a shy smile. "Hello."

"Where? Who?" Will asks. Abigail was nice enough. He always had eyes for Elizabeth only but her cousin was fun to have around - when she was here. The three of them would play on the rocks, along the shore, or elsewhere. She was a bit younger but he let her tag along - or more like Elizabeth and her let him tag along. Either way, he couldn't leave her to pirates. Not only was she Elizabeth's cousin but Will wouldn't suffer any woman that terrible fate. "Who took her, pirate?" He demanded going up to the bars. "Associates of yours?" Now that wouldn't be real accurate. Otherwise, why would she still be here?

She was directionally challenged when it came to being inside something. And an airship was no exception. When she had been on the Allure she had to create a map and carry it with her so she wouldn't get lost. It had happened more than once and not only had it been a since of embarrassment but almost also got her into a few sticky situations. But thankfully that was in her past. At least the sticky situations part. The not knowing where she was - well, she had a ways to go on that. Estella followed Rebeca as they went through the ship. She was a bit grateful that the other woman knew where she was going because to her, everything looked the same. Oh she could pick up the intricate details but she couldn't tell you how to use it get back.

Entering the bridge, she was a bit surprised that Rebeca had brought her here. Why? She closed her eyes just briefly. She really hoped she wouldn't be tipped again. Keeping a slight smile pasted on her face she re-examined the room. The bridge of an airship was a fascinating - especially for a Tinkerer like her. There was so much to see, so many devices. The first time she was here, she hadn't really paid attention but now - now she took it in. She headed over and sat. Reluctantly she pulled her attention away from the ship as she looked toward her hostess. Her eyes took in the conversation between the two. Biting her lip she wasn't really sure she wanted to get involved. This sounded like a frequent argument between the two.

"Like grabbing a dog's ear, Estella," her mother's voice rang in her ear. "Is someone who steps in to someone else's quarrel." It had initially came from a proverb the wise king Shlomo had once said. Her mother had to mention it to her on more than one occasion. Though in reality, she also said it about several of Estella's brothers as well. Or anyone else who was meddling.

Estella pushed the thoughts aside. She looked from Rebeca to her father and back again. An automaton would be helpful - though they were a bit pricey. Estella had never worked on one of the larger ones but she had tweaked with some smaller ones before. She looked at Mr. Axford. He was a bit older. Thirty-six might not be that old, but for lifting and such it did elevate a lot of work that could stress a body out. "It's not necessarily about age." Darn it. She wasn't going to get involved. Why did she even say that? Estella winced just slightly. Well, she was committed. "They can also be more efficient as they can lift far more than the average male - even one in his prime." Now it looked she was taking sides. "But they do have their downsides." Great. Now she insults the hostess. When was she going to learn to shut her mouth? She should have listened to her mother's wisdom. She was such a shmuck!

Pirate X-Over: The Mysteries Of 'Black' { Ninja & Angel }

The prison was a mess. You had a few guards posted but no one really was paying any attention to it. The town was too busy recoiling from the attack from the previous night. However, one guard on duty did mention something about seeing Elisabeth and Abigail. "They shouldn't be here now." The guard was partially distracted as he watched a the crowd of people right there arguing about seeing the governor and demanding better security.

Will thanked him and moved on. No one stopped him from entering and he headed down the stairs. The door was open slightly, which seemed a bit odd. Casually with the ax ready, he entered the main prison. Stopping, he found who he was looking for. Dropping the ax he ran over to the body on the ground. "Elizabeth?" He called coming over. She wasn't moving. He checked her vitals. He winced as he saw the shrapnel wounds that killed her. She was long gone. Even if he could find a doctor it would do no good.

Will wasn't the type to shout or cry or make a big fuss. Even with the death of Elizabeth and the massive blow to him he didn't shout. There was no agonizing scream like the one Abigail had made. He might have lost composure if it wasn't for the fact he heard some stirring. Picking up the ax he turned. It was female pirate. His grip tightened. Mentally he cursed the pirates. Once again they had taken someone he had loved. His hatred was evident.

A 1x1 thread of 1x1 stuff! {2021 Revamp!}

@datadogie No problem. I kind of figured but I wanted to check nonetheless. Aer-Ki Jyr is an indie writer so most people haven't heard of him. Regrettably I haven't read B.V. Larson's series yet though I have seen the books on Amazon.

And yes, I noticed that. One would think there would be a lot more readers due to the whole writing aspect of RPs but apparently not. Oh well.

I appreciate you getting back to me :)

A 1x1 thread of 1x1 stuff! {2021 Revamp!}

@datadogieI saw are familiar with Star Force.
Do you mind if I ask which series you are referring to? The one by Aer Ki Jyr or B.V. Larson?

I'm a major fan of the former - though haven't found a lot of people who even know about it (thus why I'm asking).

Estella paused slightly. She still wasn't completely sure why she was here. Oh she didn't mind. She was fairly laid back individual and was glad to help. But the mechanic had his part and there was no way he would let her into that engine room once. No doubt he felt she had shamed him or embarrassed him or something. He wouldn't let it happen again. She just hoped that Rebeca wasn't going to have her father give her another tip. Once is touching. Twice, a bit annoying. She didn't do it for a tip. Though, if they found out where the tip had gone, they'd undoubtedly want to repay her again.

So with just a slight confusion, she followed Rebeca's invite and headed into the vessel. She quickly found herself surrounded by the tight space of the airship. The hum of the engine, the slight creaking one expected from an older vessel. A smile formed on her face and she was half tempted to run her hand along the wall as she walked. But she refrained. She was weird enough. No point adding to it.

"Yes, siblings are fun but it would be a bit strange to have one a whole lot younger than you. My brothers and I fell within about ten year range. My oldest brother was really out of the house by time I was eight." She paused reaching a split. She realized it was probably not the best idea to have her go first. She had no clue where to go. Stepping slightly aside, she looked at Rebeca letting her lead.

"So um..." she hated to ask. It seemed a bit presumptuous. "Where are we going?" She regretted asking as soon as the words came out. It did sound a bit rude. She probably should have just played it by ear and waited to see. Estella pressed against the cold metal wall to let the other woman pass in front of her.
