Chapter 1: The Virginia Company

In 1607,

We sailed the open sea.

For glory, god, and gold,

And the Virginia Company.

For the new world is like heaven,

And we'll all be rich and free.

Or so we have been told

By the Virginia Company.

So we have been told

By the Virginia Company.

In the port of London, England, several of the sailors were preparing to go to the New World to seek their fortune. Some men promised to call for their children as soon as they settled in the colony of Virginia. One, Roxas, was making a new life for himself after recently turning eighteen. He hugged his mother good-bye, shook his father's hand in farewell, and ruffled the hair of his little sister.

For glory, god, and gold,

And the Virginia Company.

As Roxas got onto the boat, he saw a man with piercing gold eyes, jet black hair, and wearing only black and red.

"Hey look." A man with long spiky red hair said. He had green eyes with small tattoos under his eyes. "Is that Vanitas?"

"That's him alright, the old sea dog." Said a man who appeared to be his brother in a much rougher voice.

"Captain Vanitas?" Roxas asked in awe. "I've heard some amazing stories about him."

"Is he coming on this voyage too?" The first man asked.

"Of course he is, you half-wit." The second man said with a sneer. "You can't go fighting Indians without Vanitas."

"That's right." Vanitas said as he grabbed a rope pulling in some cargo and come up with it before jumping down on the deck. "I'm not about to let you guys hog all the fun."

On the beaches of Virginia,

There's diamonds like the sea.

And silver rivers flow with gold,

You pick right off a tree.

With a nugget for my Whiney.

And another one for me.

And all the rest will

Go to the Virginia Company.

Just before the ship left, the person in charge of the expedition, Mister Xehanort arrived. His long white hair with golden yellow eyes. He was dressed in an elaborate white suit with a black undershirt to match his pants.

For glory god, and gold,

And the Virginia Company!

Roxas waved good-bye to his family as the ship took off, and Roxas notice Captain Vanitas leaning against a post and watching the sky.

The storm appeared out of nowhere.

Within moments, the entire crew was fighting for control of the ship.

They barely managed to reef the sails as water flooded onto the ship.

Roxas was tying down the cannons, so they wouldn't lose them when the rope snapped, and Roxas had to hold it steady himself.

"VANITAS!" Roxas called out. "Get down here! The cannons are breaking lose!"

Vanitas heard Roxas and jumped down to help.

"Reef the topsails!" Vanitas shouted as he helped Roxas retie down the cannon. "It's alright, Roxas, we'll get her tied off."

Suddenly, a large wave came over the ship.

"Look out!" Vanitas called out, but too late. Roxas was swept overboard.

"HELP!" Roxas called out.

"Pull the pin." Vanitas said as he tied a rope around his waist. They did that, and Vanitas dived down into the water.

"Vanitas, are you crazy?" Luxord shouted out, but Vanitas ignored him.

"Hold on, Roxas!" Vanitas called out. "I've got you!"

Vanitas grabbed Roxas, and began to pull himself and Vanitas back to the ship with the rope, but he suddenly felt it give too much and heard Luxord's friend Axel shouts, "Quick, get the rope!"

The rope became taut again, and Vanitas pulled himself and Roxas back to the ship as Luxord, Axel, and several other sailors pulled them up.

More than once, Vanitas and Roxas ended up under water, but eventually, they were pulled up just as the storm passed.

"Well that's a lucky lad." Luxord said.

"That was refreshing." Vanitas said with a smirk.

"Well done, Vanitas." Axel said.

"I'm sure you'd all do the same for me." Vanitas said, still smirking.

"Oh sure." Luxord said nervously.

"Definitely." Axel said.

Suddenly, Master Xehanort appeared with the last bolt of lightning the storm gave as it left, accompanied by his servant, Vexen, and his dogboy, Demyx.

"Trouble on deck?" Xehanort asked.

"Master Xehanort!" Roxas said as he stood up.

"Roxas fell overboard, sir." Vanitas said stiffly. Something about this guy made Vanitas nervous.

"Well thank heavens he's been successfully retrieved." Xehanort said. "Well done, Vanitas."

"Thank you, sir." Vanitas said curtly.

"Don't lose heart, men!" Xehanort called out like a motivational speaker. "It won't be long before we reach the New World, and remember what awaits us there. Freedom, prosperity, and the adventure of a lifetime."

"Yeah!" Demyx called out, and everyone looked at him funny. "Uh… Sorry, I get worked up easily."

"You're the greatest crew England has to offer." Xehanort stated as Roxas just watched and Terra huffed at the old wind-bag. "And nothing, not rain, not sleet, not even blood thirsty savages shall stand in our way. Carry on!"

As Xehanort left, Vexen kept an umbrella over him to keep the last of the rain from his suit.

"A stirring oration sir." Vexen said. "I'm sure the men were exhiler-AYYYYY-ted!"

Vexen stretched the "A" due to a wind picking up, and his being blown away from Xehanort, but he didn't mind that much. The rain had already stopped.

"Let us hope so." Xehanort said with a chuckle. "I need those witless peasants to dig up my gold."

"Yeah." Demyx muttered, and Xehanort knew Demyx only went along with this because he had to… Unless he wanted his widowed Best Friend to starve.

Vanitas tossed some rope to Roxas as they took time to tie down a cannon.

"This new world's gonna be great, Vanitas." Roxas said. "I'll get a pile of gold, build me a huge house, and if any Indian tries to stop me, I'll blast him!"

"Just worry about that future fortune of yours, Roxas." Vanitas said as they finished off. "Leave the savages to me."

"You think they'll give us much trouble?" Axel asked.

"Trouble?" Luxord said with a sneer. "Not as much trouble as Vanitas will give them."

"We'll kill ourselves an injun, or maybe two or three!" Vanitas called out as he pulled out his sword and pierced the beer barrel with it.

"We're stalwart men in the folds of the Virginia Company." They all called out as they drank while Roxas and Vanitas climbed up to the crow's nest.

"What do you think the New World will look like?" Roxas asked.

"Like all the others I've seen." Vanitas said. "I've seen hundreds of New Worlds Roxas. What could possibly be different about this one?"

Chaos: Hey guys i finally found a story to do.
