The Life of a Pirate Episode 1 (Finished)


Recommended Posts

Aras walked tot he back of the ship, he sat on the railing and watched as the (night sky?) began appearing, he watched the sun go down behind the hills, it brought a smile to his face.

[color="#0000FF"]"With such a view, and such excitement...and Mcgraw, how could I possibly go to sleep? Don't worry pops, I'll definatly become the greatest swordsman in the far seas....my name will be whispered through the wind and passed onto families and other top class pirates..." [/color]he smirked slightly.[color="#0000FF"] "Still though no point staying awake all night....but hwo to get to sleep?"[/color]

The conditions of the sleeping area weren't Aras's forte', he then heard a CLUNK and looked at the ground, a bottle of XXXXX Rum rolled to and hit the back of the ship, it was half full.

[color="#0000FF"]"I Guess one sip couldn't hurt?" [/color]Aras stated as he picked up the bottle and drank a bit. Within an instant he fell to the floor asleep his face a light red.

'...argh! I cannae kill 'em.' Thought McGraw. He aimed to miss and shot one of the boy's toes. 'Aah!' 'F*ck off, you little...thing...like.' He then walked off the side of the ship and yelled at the top of his voice 'Alright, you maggots! We're setting sail! I couldn't care less if anyone is missing; they can go f*ck themselves is all I says...' He then found Ben asleep and he kicked him in the ribs. 'GET UP! I cannae sail without a blooming navigtor now!' He also saw Aras asleep, and as he did with Ben he kicked his ribs. 'That is it! Anyone who is asleep will get a bullet through their privates! Skipper! Weigh anchor and set sail!'

[spoiler='Episode part 1 Concludes']
Skipper pulled up anchor and with that the ship set sail. On board we had Captain McGraw, Vryn, Scarlette, Jacqueline, Ben, Aras, Joseph, Jonathan & Rainbow. These pirates, along with the help of Skipper and the crew would have a great destiny unfold before them. Little did they know what was ahead...maybe new allies, foes even. Alas...this would all be discovered in time. As the crew set sail some looked back at the Port and some looked forward to the blue yonder. Some looked at the starry night sky abd some looked at the crew itself. The sea was calm...it was obvious a sign that these men and women were born to do this...
[/spoiler]

Part 2:

McGraw at the helm saw Jonathan down below and told Skipper something. Skipper jumped down to the deck and went up to the bandit king saying 'Hello, name is Skipper! Cap'n wants a word with you. But first, are you a stowaway?' Skipper looked at Jonathan with an innocent glance. He looked quite young and it was obvious he idolised his captain. Meanwhile back on the helm McGraw sent another crew member to bring Vryn, Joseph and Ben up to the helm as well.

Aras sat on the back of the ship, he liked to sit ont he wooden railing and observe the ocean and lands they leave. It was in this position that he left his home in. He was a cast away baby, somehow through the hands of the gods he survived the treaturase seas as a mere baby, he was found at shore by a Master Swordsman, Goldrock. Aras brings the teachings of his master/father to whatever he did, he observed his 4 swords all the time, looking or ways to strengthening them. Aras hopes that with the crew his in he'll be ale tto climb his way to the ranks of the a Legendary Swordsman.

Scarlette sighed, She was napping nearby Skipper and wasn't cared to be shot awake by McGraw, but then again, Messing with lady with an explosive temper That makes explosives was always a bad idea, When Skipper asked if Johnathan was a Stowaway, She facepalmed and said "There's no asking if one's a Stowaway, Either you are or you're Not, so get your filthy asses to the Captain before I blow you off your Dungbie" It was now obvious why she was napping, She's was trying to nap off the Whiskey...

Jacqueline sighed at the captain. She wondered why she had even bothered arguing with the captain. He was a child who always got what he wanted. Despite being quite tired, she decided to sweep the deck anyways. No one else ever sweeps, so the deck was covered by a layer of empty bottles and sand. Taking the broom, she started sweeping from the stern, flinging the dust and the bottles overboard, exposing the tired wood underneath. As she swept, she noticed a young lady in gothic dress walk up to the boat, drinking whisky straight from the bottle. She clearly had the intention of joining McGraw. Jacqueline saw her former self in that girl: proud, confident, naïve. Jacqueline knew that if the girl stayed with McGraw too long, she would sink into the life of crime that Jacqueline was trying to claw her way out of. She had to stop her.

Just as she was about to confront the girl, the captain set sail, stranding that girl on the boat.
___

Jacqueline was awoken by another nightmare. This time, it was a flashback of when she was hired to “service” a group of merchants. She was constantly raped for three days and nights until her guild managed to get her back. Trying her best to rid herself the lingering images, she got up and stretched out her tired body, her tendons and joints making snapping sounds as they set themselves back in place. She took at look into the mirror that she had stolen. Her brow was soaked with sweat and dark circles faintly formed under her eyes. She sighed and decided to go to the kitchen to find some more to eat. When she got there, her appetite disappeared, so she opted for some chicory drink instead. The drink was too hot to drink right away, so she went to the mess hall to sit down. Taking a seat, she stared into her coffee, her eyes heavy but her mind still restless.

Jonathan got up and walked to the deck. He was tired, drunk, and slightly high on the cigarettes he smoked. He walked to the helm and saw the captain. Looked up to him and wondered to himself "This is really McGraw? Looks more like a wine dealer more than a pirate." Jonathan sighed and asked the captain 'How good of a captain do you think you are?' Probably not the smartest thing to do to the captain of the ship he is on, but Jonathan's fame and cockiness always is viewable.

'Sorry, who exactley are you?' McGraw, a man who rarely reads the news, appears to have never heard of the man who called him a wine dealer. '...and who do you think your talking to, you two faced w*nker! I'm Frederick McGraw! And you step out of line with me...SKIPPER!' Skipper walked up to McGraw. 'Yes, Cap'n? Then McGraw shot his foot 'AAHH!!' McGraw turned back to Jonathan'...you get the idea. I couldn't give a banger 'bout your wellfare!. I ain't notorious for no reason! Now, stop boring me and fill me in on your...hold on...' He yelled 'SURGEON! MAN DOWN!' ''right, Cap'n. What kind o' wound is it?' 'Bullet.' 'Your's again?' 'Yes, mine again.' 'On Skipper?' 'Yes, on Skipper.' 'His foot?' 'For f*cks sake! Get up here andf*cking fix his foot!' He turned back to Jonathan, noticing he contradicted what he said about caring about wellfare 'What? He's me most reliable man on board! Watch! Skipper, slap yourself.' Skipper slapped himself extremelly hard, cusing his cheek to go red. 'Did I do good, Cap'n?' 'Yes, yes, you daft idiot. Now where was I...oh yes! That's about it! Tell me 'bout yer self. No point you coming on me ship without a f*cking cause, 'm I right?'

Joseph was once again sitting in his room staring at nothing, when a knock came at his door. "It's open!" Joseph yelled. The door opened and a crew member walked in. "Cap'n sent me to get you. He's on deck at the helm." Joseph nodded as the man stepped out of the room. "Well, I suppose I better go see what he needs." Joseph said out lout. He quickly hopped off the bed and did a few stretches, popping his back. He then made his way to the deck, grabbing an apple on the way. No need seeing the captain hungry after all. A few moments later, Joseph was next to the captain, eating his apple with a smile on his face.

'Joseph, m'boy! Come give's a hug!' McGraw hugged the air out of him, as he did Ben earlier. 'An apple? Thanks! I ain't had lunch all bloody day!' He took his apple out of Joseph's mouth, took a bite out of it and gave it back. '...well? Oh alright! COOK!' 'Hmmm-yes Cap'n?' 'Apple! 'Apple....wine?' 'Yes, and an average apple.' 'Coming right up!' 'Sorry 'bout the inconvinience, Joe. This...err...sorry what's yer name? I don't reconginise you at all.' 'Err...Cap'n' 'Hmm? Ahh! Cook, toss 'em up!' Cook threw up an apple and three bottles of wine, all for McGraw. 'Cheers!' Then after recovering from his bullet wound Skipper joined the conversation. 'Excuse me! I didn't realise who you were before! Sorry 'bout that! Aren't you the bandit king?' Upon hearing this McGraw said 'Ooh! Bandit King, is ye? Had a wee little castle, maybe?' No matter who he talked, McGraw gave them the same respect as everyone else...Zero.

Joseph looked down at the apple the captain took a bit out of, then threw it to the side. It was like the captain to simply assume everything was for him. The least he could do was ask before he grabbed. Joseph shrugged. Ah well, not much he could do about that really. Just gotta hope it doesn't get out of control. He continued to stand there to wait for the captain to continue talking...but it never happened. The captain ordered some wine, not much of a shocker, and started to converse with another person. "Umm...captain?" Joseph said. "Want did you need sir? I'm sure you weren't just making me walk up here for my daily exercise."

Scarlette heard what Mcgraw had said about the bandit king and just laughed something loud, then she walked up the Stairs and Joined in the conversation, still feeling just a wee bit drunk. "Hey Bandit King, Did Someone Plunder Your Booty!" She let off a cackle as she grabbed any sort of Empty bottles McGraw had on his person, though finding none, She started to walk downstairs and proceeded to the Galley, and asked "Cook, Where's the Whiskey, or perhaps some Rum!" She hiccuped and said to the cook "And i'm pretty sure i've told the captain this, But never drink anything with a Fuse on it"....

Jonathan looks at McGraw with slight admiration ignoring Scarlette at the same time. He never seen anyone like McGraw, and Jonathan has never looked up to anyone. 'Well Captain, what now? Im not sure about these other crew members but there is a bounty on both of our heads. So i guess us coming together is for the best. But let me tell you one thing, i am not your pawn nor will i ever will be. I am who i am, and expect you to look at me as a equal and i will do the same for you.' Jonathan spoke his mind not sure if it was the best thing to do, but he did it. Jonathan looks to the side and notices something from the horizon. It its a royal navy ship. 'Dammit McGraw the Kings Navy is here and coming towards us. Lets leave.' It was only one small ship carrying maybe 15 navy sailors. Nothing Jonathan and McGraw cant handle, but as of right now Jonathan was in no mood to fight. 'What chu say Captain?'

(OOC: is it cool i brought the small navy ship into ch.2 already? It only a small ship.)

Ben McCoy woke from his sleep and walked up the deck, and saw it was the afternoon. 'Huh?' He asked. 'What in the bloody hell did I miss? How long did I sleep?' He brushed a strand of black hair out of his face. 'Bloody hell...' He looked at the sun, and saw that it was about three, judging by the sundial. 'Will someone please tell me how long I slept?' "That rum must've kept me out for a while now..." He thought. "This was [i]not[/i] good..." He pulled out his sword, stabbed the deck, and re-sheathed it. 'Damn...' He muttered. 'I really should start asking people to wake me up... I'm a heavy sleeper after some rum.'

Scarlette heard the words "The King's Navy" and already knew what was happening, She smiled and waited for the captain's order as the cook gave her a very small bottle of whiskey, which she took a sip and spit out in disgust, and said "Cook, This Failed British Whiskey may taste disgusting, but I could still use it!" She took the bottle and did the same with the other whiskey bottle, Drilled a hole in the cap and put a fuse in it and holstered it on her side.

Jonathan didnt even wait for McGraw to answer him about the Navy. Jonathan notices Ben walking on to the deck. Jonathan runs towards him at great speed, BEN!! your a navigator i want you to steer the ship south west bound away from that royal navy ship coming from the east. You can change the degree of angle we turn in just hurry up!. 'Sorry McGraw but im not in a mood to fight and im not going back to prison.' Jonathan screams down the door to the hull where everyone was. 'Get ready people we mite be getting some interaction with the royal navy!' Jonathan then thought maybe it is good to get a little action. He turns to McGraw and says, 'You ready Captain?'

Tri Xelar or Trist Evlar, rather, was already on board and was alone in his room. He was very hidden that even the captain didn't know of his presence. He was building some kind of gun. He then said to himself, [b]
"After finishing this, i'll steal McGraw's treasure so that in my time i don't have to meddle with the others that might have it."[/b]
He then went out to get some more wood for his gun. He locked his room and he noticed that his fellow men have arrived.
[b]He whispered to himself, "We are already on board. That was fast." [/b]
He then went to the cargos and get some wood. Then, went to his room, silently.

Rainbow, tried sleeping, but she just couldn't. For some reason, beer made her hyperactive and restless, just like candy to a child. "Goddamit, I'm just getting outta here..." with that, she exited her cabin as her stomach growled in hunger. The door creeked as she exited...

She simply took a simple walk under the starry night sky, into the mess hall, asking for something to eat. She sat beside another girl in the mess hall as her pink hair covered one of her eyes. "Well hello there. I haven't met you."

Aras climbed his way to the looking ost where the sail was, he stood on the edge of the small wooden circle looking out at the vast seas. "Any swordsman out there, I will take them, I will show them what a true legendary Swordsman looks and is like." he though to himself as he then looked up at the night sky. "My name will be etched in the stars...every pirate of the seven seas will know of my ventures, but can I limit myself to this ship....sure we have decent reputation, bu...." Aras then smirked and continued thinking. "What am I thinking Mcgraw was the first captain to give me, an up and coming swordsman a chance...No one else wanted me on their ship....except him....His crew was smalla t this point, so you think he would have searched for nothing but the highest level of skill...when i heard of his arrival at my home land...I trained every day non stop to win his approval...and yet...he chose me for my determination and commitment, there is no way I'd betray him...what I am today is because of him." Aras spread his arms out wide.

"You hear me world! Aras Newgate is here! I will become a Legendary Swordsman! Known to all! That's a promise of a life time!"

McGraw looked at Jonathan and patted his back. 'You ain't going ta jail, you little w*nker.' He yelled at Ben. 'SAIL DIRECTLY FOR THE SHIP! If its a fight they want, a fight they shall have!' He turned back to Jonathan. 'Bandit Kng? Not in the mood for a wee scrap? Tell you what, we'll make a game out of it! First to kill the most gets a pint o' me special rum.' He told Ben to keep the ship steady. Then he ran down and towards Aras. 'Oi! Aras! We've got a fight to win so follow my lead!' He yelled 'ENEMY HO!!! ALL TO ARMS IMMEDIATLEY!!!' Then he ran towards Scarlette. 'Hey, doll, listen up. We've got some bastards heading our way. Now we both know we want to kick the sh*t out of 'em. So here is my plan. You know our...*point point*...' McGraw pointed to a large cannon. '...well, fire me from it! You good with explosives, right? Or is ye a wee bit scared?' He teased Scarlette a bit because he knew what the answer would be.

Scarlette heard the order from McGraw as he approached her giving her order to shoot him out of the cannon, she sighed and said "Well Captain, I want to test out these new babies out first, Well, Your Empty bottles and your bad whiskey's gotta get some sort of new life!" She held up the 2 homemade bombs she had made earlier, then Raised the 'Stink bomb' She made earlier "May i Launch this out to Immobilize them before i Shoot ya at it?"

A wicked smirk grew on Captain McGraw's face. 'Or...shoot me with it.' But it was too late for him to be shot now. The ship began opening fire. 'B*llocks! Men! Ready...aim...fire!' A flurry of cannonballs from the ships cannons flew and hit each incoming cannonball on the spot. 'Scarlette! Keep 'em shooting!', refering to the cannon's of their ship. He then went into his quarters, picked up an ammo belt and climbed up to the helm. He took aim...*BANG*...'Hehehe! Off goes their navigator's head!' cheered McGraw as the Navy Men began firing with their muskets. The sound of gun fire was heard all over the ship...but soon it would be replaced with the sounds of blades clashing. Remembering their swordsman, McGraw yelled 'ARAS!' indicating that they were about to board their ship in one swift swing of a rope.

Vryn stirred a bit in the wooden crate she had inadvertently fallen asleep in. SHe rubbed her eyes as she heard Aras yelling in the night, much louder than it should have been. "For cryin out loud. What in the blazes are ya shoutin fer in the night?" She asked as he stretched and started standing up, noting that her crew mate was indeed ALOT closer than she had thought, seeing him on the edge of the wooden circle. "Boy's and their promises." She smirked as she leaped over the side and slid down the sail, grabbing the bottom beam of woom that held it in place and dropped down along the second set of sails before landing gracefully on the deck of the ship.

Ben turned the ship around and flying past Jonathan's head was a cannon ball. Barely missing his head, this was the closest Jonathan had been to death. The small Royal Navy Cruiser is now parallel to McGraws ship. Jonathan reached into his pocket and grabs 5 sticks of dynamite. Lights them all and threw them into the cannon bay destroying all cannons. 'McGraw Aras lets go!!!!' Jonathan screamed as he jumped on to the royal navy ship. He under estimated the numbers from 15 it was more like 25. He drew out he revolver and popped 5 of the navy sailors only missing 1 shot. Jonathan drew his cutlass Silverwind and his hand axe Bloodfang. Ready for hand to hand combat. Not waiting for McGraw and Aras, Jonathan begins slashing at the navy men, taking down a few until he turns around and see's the captain firing the musket at him. To late to react the musketball lodged right into Jonathan's ribcage. Jonathan falls back into the deck. Gasping for air. Slowly dying if not cared for in time. Well on the floor he can hear the captain say 'Fredrick McGraw and Jonathan Matthews in one day?! Im getting a promotion by the king!!! Men after you kill them chop of their heads.' There was only a small amount of sailors and the captain left. Hopefully Aras and McGraw can take care of them.

Scarlette then looked at McGraw, then ran up stairs after ordering her part of the crew to keep firing, She loaded her 'Stink bomb' into her Swivel gun and shot it at the sails, Striking the mast before exploding, Not only Staining the White sails brown and catching them on fire, but creating a stink so bad that it knocked out quite a few sailors, She busted out laughing, as it had worked exactly she thought it would, then she loaded an iron spike into her swivel gun and started to aim....

'Pfft! Please! 8 men's yer best, Matthews? Watch this!' said McGraw, watching Jonathan dying. He drew out two pistols and shot every pistol, every musket from the sailors. 'Here I come!' He jumped, but missed his timing. 'AAHH!' He pointed his cutlass forwards and stabbed two men as he plunged to the floor. 'F*ck, give me cutlass!' he said as he took out the cutlass from the two men. He turned around, there were 11 men left. 'Skipper!' Skipper lobbed a rock at 1 of them, knocking him out. 'Thanks...thanks a f*cking lot...' Suddenly most of McGraw's crew drew out muskets of their own and rifled them down to 6. McGraw looked at the Bandit King and said 'Fine! They don't count. But these do!' Once again with his deadly pistols he shot two men's brains literally out of their heads. He looked at the rest, saying '...Specially made bullets.' Then he burst out laughing 'Well...I think you should all calm down. 'Cause otherwise...' He pointed to the brainless corpses. Their crew boarded the ship, including the surgeon. As they tied up the men, the surgeon knifed out the bullet and killed the bacteria possibly infecting Jonathan's wound. 'Well, Jonathan would probably want yer 'eads, boys. But I have a different plan. He took some gseline and forced them to drink it. He then took out a match, saying only 'Any last words?'
