Hey guys, it's been awhile. So some of my fics have been glitching, I'm sure you've noticed. So I'm posting one-shots to see if the issue has been fixed (and I have writer's block for my other fics). The mer is an OC of mine, she was not created for this fic, just changed a little. Her name is Belinda Devourer and she's half Serpentine. This one-shot starts at Tortuga. Also, this is Master Jarrus, for those wondering since I'm now sharing an account with a friend.

Curse of the Black Dragon

Kai followed the eccentric pirate. Why did he think this was a good idea, oh yeah because Skylor got captured and he is irrational when it comes to her. "Grab that bucket and fill it with water," Garmadon commanded. "Wait, what, why?" Kai grabbed the bucket filled it and caught up to the ex-captain. "Have you ever been around a mer who hasn't been in water for awhile?" he asked, his head cocked slightly to the right. "Mers aren't real," Kai said rolling his eyes, would he be able to find a ship without this guy? Probably not. "Why don't you take that up with her, after you dump the water on her," Garmadon nodded toward a child asleep, her coat was being used as a blanket, and she had a tricorne hat pulled over her face. "That is a small child," Kai started, Garmadon nodded in agreement, "Aye," Kai continued, "How is she going to help us get a ship, she's probably what, six, at most." Garmadon shook his head, "That is where you are wrong. Now go on, give her a good douse. She might not kill us for waking her."

Kai rolled his eyes but dumped the bucket on her. "Bloody, Montgomery you're alive. When you told me to stay here I thought you had," the girl had pulled out a gun and pushed her hat up out her eyes. "You thought wrong, now come on inside and we can discuss how you got a hold of my son's coat," she grabbed his hand and pulled herself up. "It doesn't fit him, hasn't for a few months now. You're fault, Lloyd's so freakishly tall."

Kai froze, Lloyd, he never asked the blond's last name but his odd mannerisms and looks are similar to the male pirate, too similar. How come he never noticed? Lloyd's mom, Koko, never talked about her husband. Were they even married? Kai shook his head, right now he has to worry about saving Skylor, he reasoned when they walked into dingy bar. He can talk to Lloyd later, it will be nice to know that someone else might have a pirate for a parent, even if it's one instead of two. "Are you even listening to me, boy?" Kai jerked his head. "I asked you to keep watch," Garmadon handed a cup to the girl. "You're giving alcohol to a child," Kai exclaimed in shock. The girl turned around, her reddish brown hair framed her face, which had freckle scales dotting it. Her gold eyes slitted and when she started speaking, Kai saw two long ivory fangs. "I'm an adult in my culture, and Cap'n wouldn't give anybody a drink he refusssesss himssself. In fact, he made me pay for it sssincsse I wanted it," she glared, her pupils thinning into a thin line. "An adult, you're like five," Kai threw his hand in air. "I turn fourteen in few daysss, missster," she was ready to strangle him. "Now, now, you two no need to bring the whole bars attention to you. Kai, I have important matters to discuss with my navigator, so if you please," Garmadon intervened and look at Kai expectantly. Kai glared at young navigator and stalked ways off. "Why didn't you let me ssstrangle him, he needsss to learn resspect for," she started as she sat down. Garmadon interrupted, "He's a Bilens," he whispered looking around to make sure nobody heard him. "A Bilens, her eyes widen like old…" her eyes widening and her pupils relaxing a bit. "Raving Rey and Mad Maya," he nodded solemnly. "You need a crew and his sister. It's going to be long night," she frowned, drinking the whole cup of rum in one swig. "Make sure you both get some rest, it's going to be long day tomorrow with Samurai X," she said standing up and patting his shoulder.

If you want me to continue this one as a story, please comment. I will try to have a new one-shot every day, no promises. See you guys.
