Chapter 1- Optimus Veridius
Blind Mew had told James and his crew that Fin Dorsal was meeting someone in the Monquistan Vortex, near the Presidio. So that's where they were headed. Dona Angela entered the vortex using the armour on the ship and right in front of them was The Abominable, James' old Armada ship he once commanded.
"Optimus Veridius," James muttered.
They boarded The Abominable and confronted Fin and Optimus.
"You again," Fin said bluntly.
"Captain Hawkins, we meet again," Optimus added, "What would you be here for?"
"The map piece to El Dorado," James answered, "Fin stole it from Avery."
"Then you're gonna have to take it back from me by force," Fin stated.
James drew his shuriken and threw it at the ship wall. This made Fin look sidewards and create an opening for James to get the map piece. James attempted this, but a clockwork shot James in the leg, only to be sniped by Bonnie Anne. Emmett sneaked behind a barrel and shot two clockworks in the back. Nanu Nanu swung his spear, taking two at a time and Gaspard stabbed one in the stomach. Scratch summoned three skeletal pirates and the four of them took out eight clockworks.
"Ratbeard, take Fin!" James shouted as he ran to take on Optimus.
Optimus attempted to get rid of James with his musket, but James dodged all the electrical sparks. James drew his wakizashi and he went head on with Optimus' daggers, which he must have mastered due to the strength he gained from the doom energy release. It was simply a battle of speed. Unfortunately, the past-inferior Optimus was kicking butt. Optimus' speed was starting to overwhelm James, but then James flipped the coin and muttered something only the coin would've heard, if it had ears. James caught the coin and disappeared. Optimus had no idea where he went. Then a wakizashi sliced through Optimus' chest. James pulled it out and Optimus fell to the ground, dead. Fin stared at James after kicking Ratbeard away.
"Ok, ok. Here's the map. Just let me go free!" Fin pleaded.
James smiled, "I won't take you to Avery as long as you hand over the bottle for this ship. The Abominable was once my ship- only natural I'd want it back."
Fin took the bottle out of Optimus' pocket and chucked it over to James, "Here! Now let me go!"
James nodded, "Go ahead and take The Grinning Grouper. I don't need it any more anyway."
James threw the bottle of his first pirate ship to Fin and bluntly said, "That'll be fifty bucks- a large discount!"
Fin shook his head, "I owe it to you, Hawkins. But I can't hand it over today."
Fin unbottled his new ship and sailed out of the vortex- as you don't need armour to get out, only in.
"Right, me hearties, I think old Eggy will be glad to have this ship back," James told his confused crew members as he bottled Dona Angela, "We are going to Valencia now that Optimus is dead, I have my ship back and we know that Kane is after El Dorado. We might as well save Egg while we're there, his execution is in five days."
"A perfect coincidence!" Avery exclaimed when James told him the situation, "I need you to gather everyone that will come with you, I'll get the other four captains, bring everyone! Here's a list of the people that we may need."
James sat in the Kraken Skulls Tavern Cellar with his crew.
"First on the list- Wang Chun. He'll want to save his son and he's still on a mission in Flotsam Skyway. I'll be the one to get him. Secondly, we have Ensign Livsey and thirdly, we have Sergeant Shepherd. Annie, those are yours to find. Go to Jonah Town, that is where Livsey lives. Next, we have, unfortunately, our old enemy Beemish. Avery says that he hates Phule, one of the elite clockworks, so he might accept. Emmett, he is your brother, you should be able to find him. Then, there's Hunter Raku. Nanu Nanu, I want you to go back to Rapa Nui and get him to come with us for this mission. Our sixth guy is the Frogfather. Gaspard, you go with Annie to Jonah Town and find the Frogfather. After that guy, I need Scratch to find Slain Joe and his new crew. We need him to help us. Ratbeard, I need you to get two people. The guy is One-Eyed Jack and the gal is Mustang Sally. Alfonso- you're in charge of getting Gortez and the rest of The Opposition on our side. Emma, I need you to get our friend Iwamoto Yamato on our side. He's in Bahamas Skyway. Finally, Keira, I need you to get Catbeard on our side and use his windstone to get to Marleybone and bring Meowiarty along. Take my windstone to MooShu with you, you'll need it to pass through MooShu and get to Marleybone. Avery's getting everyone else, including Davy Jones Egg Shen's great-uncle Egg Foo Yung."
"If his family name's Egg, then why don't ye call him Shen?" Bonnie Anne asked.
"He likes to be called by his family name," James and Emma replied at the same time, as they both knew Egg Shen.
Ratbeard stood up, "Then, what're we waiting fer? Let's go find these helpers!"
I'm comin' too, bro," a voice said in a Cooper's Roost Accent, "I'm not failin' y'all again."
James spun around and smiled, "Well, well, Anthony Freeman. I sincerely hope not. Get to Mordekai right away and train! In three days, we leave for Valencia!"
A/N: Sorry for another short chapter, I wanted to save the rest of the preparing for Chapter 2!
