Very Important Note.
Hi everyone, so my old profile Steelwall4 is no longer under my control. What happened was that I was randomly logged out of my profile and after failing to get back in I discovered that my gmail account was deleted. I assume it was hacked. After several failed attempts to retrieve it it became obvious that I was not getting it back. However, I really wanted to continue and finish my stories. There was just no way I was going to let my hard work go to waste like that. So I re-uploaded the them on this profile and should have the next chapters out by Friday. I'm really very sorry for the inconvenience that this may have caused, but its the best I can do. The story is still the same all I did was fix some grammar errors so you don't have to re-read it unless of course you want to. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to pm me.
Enjoy
Its early in the morning, the sun slightly above sea level. The sea stretching for as far as the eye can see and a few white clouds scattered in the blue sky. The peaceful sea disturbed by only one thing, a passing brig. A ship bigger than a small trading ship, and also one of the most commonly used. It sails across the ocean at a steady 8knots, with a semi-crowded deck. It could hold a crew of up to 30 men, this one however only held 15 as it only needed 12 minimum. It housed a total of 8 guns, four on each side. At the wheel were two men, the one steering the ship was a thin rat that wore brown pants that went down to his knees and were ripped at the bottom, along with brown boots and a white long sleeved shirt tucked in. Next to him was the captain, a more sizable and rounded rat in a blue captains uniform. These were but simple merchants transporting cargo from one place to the next. The ship sailed on with no problems, its destination being Kingston. A destination the ship would never reach.
Among the crew was a young blue cat at the age of 19 standing at the front port side canon. He wore long brown pants that were ripped by his left knee, and a brown sleeveless leather jacket opened in the middle revealing his muscular chest and abs. he had no shoes and was armed with a small dagger. He stood there peacefully gazing into the distance. Unfortunately, this was short lived as a call came from behind.
"Pirates! Pirates! Man your stations everyone!" The captain called out with a deep voice.
"Loosen the mains and take us up to 10knotes!" He shouted and the men complied.
"Captain." The skinny rat started. "That's the Reclaimer, we'll never outrun it." He stated.
"We can't outgun it either." The captain said looking at the oncoming brig now worried. He then turned around and faced the deck.
"Grab whatever weapon you can and ready the cannons!" He ordered.
The men did as they were told, however the ship only had five rifles and only two of the men were armed with simple swords. The one was a red lizard, he wore the same clothes as the cat, but with no rip and also had a black triangular hat on. He drew his sword and stood ready in between the middle starboard cannons.
"Their turning their guns on us! Turn starboard and do the same!" The captain yelled out. The skinny rat did as he was told and the ship started to turn.
"Reduce speed to 5knots and aim the cannons at 250yards!" The men were now on edge, their adrenaline pumping and waiting for that fateful order from the captain. For the blue cat time seemed to slow down, this was his first ever fight with real pirates. He had heard many stories, but no story could have prepared him for this.
"FIRE!" Shouted the captain and that's when all hell broke loose.
