A/N: Shiiiiiiit, I've been procrastinating on this one for so long… T_T Well, it's definitely a change from what I usually do. First AU and first multi-chap, here we go! *hides in corner* Enjoy, and please review and tell me what you think! Oh, and by the way, just to clear some things up... they are not in Nevada, and this takes place somewhere in the 1700's or something.

Summary: The Thompson sisters are the most badass female pirates out there, plundering cities and killing for wealth. The two terrors aim high, kidnapping the Lord of Death City's son for a ransom. The two sisters had no idea what they were getting themselves into... AU!

A Second Chance

Two blonde girls stood outside the city, gazing at the flames that enveloped the buildings standing before them. Screams of the residents could be heard all around as they tried to put out the scorching flames and salvage what was left of their homes. The taller blonde girl sighed and flicked back her hair, picking up her bag. The bag jingled, full of gold and other valuable trinkets stolen from the now burning town.

"Get your bag, Patty. Let's go back to the ship."

"Okie doke, Sis!" the younger blonde chirped.

That town should've been expecting that, the older sister thought. They had to have heard of us before, yet it was still so easy…

The two girls were none other than the Thompson sisters, the most infamous, feared female pirates roaming the seas. The older sister, Elizabeth, was the leader, and was considered to be a truly rotten apple. The younger sister, Patricia, was thought to be tainted by her sister's influence at a young age, and therefore, was insane.

The sisters laughed as they hauled their loot onto their ship. "So, what's our next stop, Sis?" Patty asked, gazing up at her sister with admiration in her eyes.

Liz felt so ashamed. Maybe those stupid townspeople spreading rumors were right; she was a terrible influence on her sister.

"Death City," Liz replied, "we can cash in some of this crap we picked up there."

It couldn't be helped; this life was all Liz and Patty had. They had no other options, being abandoned by their parents and left to fend for themselves. All they could do was steal and kill to survive. And so far, it had been working out. They hadn't been snagged by the police once. Liz was not going to let that happen- she had to do this, for her sister!

The large vessel slowly pulled away from the burning harbor. There's no looking back, Liz told herself. This is how we must live. After so many robberies and deaths, the Thompsons had learned to ignore guilt. After awhile, they just overall stopped feeling guilt.

Some hours of counting gold coins later, Death City came into the view of the ship. As they sailed closer, they could see the main port was infested with police, expecting them. "Damn, this town's smarter than the last," Liz grunted. Liz steered the ship away from the main port, and around the city to a smaller one on the less-visited coast of Death City.

"Now Patty, we gotta be quiet and not make a scene for now," Liz told her sister, who was vigorously nodding. "Eventually they'll catch on. Here, let's see if there are any cops first. Transform for me?"

"Okay!" Patty squealed with excitement, transforming into her weapon form. After skillfully catching the gun, Liz carefully exited the ship with Patty concealed in her holster, acting natural.

The dock was clear and deserted except for one little building, which was the dock master's shack. "Hello?" Liz knocked on the shack's wooden door. Rustling could be heard from inside, along with a loud snort and a bang noise.

Eventually, the door was opened by a chubby, middle-aged man with a nasty five o'clock shadow. The man yawned, then mumbled, "Can I help you…?"

Liz put on a sweet smile, making the man straighten up a bit. "Yes, I was wondering, where is Lord Death's mansion?"

As the man gave Liz unspecific directions, Patty was wondering. What could big Sis want at Lord Death's mansion? Pirates like us visiting that place… that's like askin' to get arrested!

"…So basically, it's on top of that big hill in the middle of town." the man finished, yawning again.

Liz twitched. Did he really have to describe the whole town, THEN TELL ME THAT? "Thank you sir," she smiled again, whipping out Patty and shooting the man in the forehead. "Okay Patty, let's go back to the ship and change."

The sister's exited the ship again, this time in frilly dresses with their hair pulled back so they would blend in. "Sooo…" Patty tapped her chin, "should we go to the treasure shop first, or… the mansion?"

"Treasure shop first," Liz said with a grave look in her eyes. Patty was perplexed. What the hell could Sis be planning? She can't possibly wanna ROB Lord Death's mansion… that would be so stupid of her!

The sisters calmly walked through town, not looking suspicious or getting any strange looks from anyone. Liz and Patty carried their treasure in their large purses that not many other women had, so they were trying to pass them as a fashion statement.

They finally entered the squatty treasure trade-in. Twenty minutes and two bags of gold later, the two exited the treasure shop. "Man, we really made a killing offa that last town!" (A/N: Pun TOTALLY intended XD) Patty smiled widely, holding up her large sack of gold.

"Yeah…" Liz mumbled, gaze set straight ahead and mouth in a thin, grim line, obviously in deep thought. What could she be so serious about? Patty was bewildered by her sister's odd behavior.

"Come on Patty, I have something else I wanna do before we leave this town." Patty snapped out of her thoughts and followed her sister. The two girls walked into a dark, unoccupied alley where Patty transformed. "Watcha gonna do, Sis?" she said from her gun form.

Liz's dark blue eyes hardened. "You'll see."
