Chapter 1 - Training For Love

A/N - Hey! PIRATES ARE SO COOL! Anyone who has seen POTC2 must go see it again! Anyone who has not must go see it or die a painful death of dooooom! waaaaahhhh! anyways, heres ya story!
Also, Appearances are being changed slightly in this, as they are all older and stuffs!

DISCLAIMER - Yes, we all know I don't own Code Lyoko, or Pirates Of The Carribean, but I wish I was a pirate!

"Hya!" Ulrich Stern pinned his opponent to the ground, his sword point barely missing the young man's neck, "Look's like I've got you."

The pinned boy smiled, "You win again Ulrich!"

Ulrich released his grip and threw his sword aside, "I'll always win Odd - I practice far more than you ever could be bothered to."

It was true, Ulrich Stern took his "training" a little more seriously than his friend.

Odd used his sword as a balance to pull him up, "Why do you take this so seriously Ulrich?" He brushed the dust off of his shoulder-length blonde and purple tipped hair, "It's only a bit of fun with Jim's old stash."

A frown engulfed Ulrich's face, "Pirates." he spat the words like they were poison.

"Pirates?" Odd eyed him, "Don't be ridiculous!"

"DON'T tell me pirates are ridiculous Odd!" he gripped his sword-hilt tightly in his sweaty, grubby hands, "They took her."

"Her?" Odd asked, wiping the drips off his forehead.

"Pirates stole the woman I love."

"What?" Odd scratched his head, "But I've never seen you with a female prescence...ever."

"That's because she was taken a year before I met you." Ulrich sat down in the wooden barn, "Ten years ago. I was fourteen - barely old enough to fall in love some may say - but it was love, all the same. The girl's name was Yumi Ishiyama. Same age as I, and the most beautiful girl I had ever laid eyes on - shining dark hair, eyes of darkest brown, and as kind as anyone I know. Then...they came." He shuddered, "The night I was to confess my love - they came."

Flashback as he tells story

"Yes?" the maid peered down to look at the youth before her, "Oh, it's just you Master Stern - you can never be too careful these days, talk of pirates in town you know, - I assume you're here for Mistress Ishiyama?"

"Er, yes ma'am. I wanted to see her." Ulrich's gut was having mini-explosions.

"Wait here, and I'll see is she is in states for visitors." The maid disappeared for a moment, then reappeared, "Yes. Miss Ishiyama has been awaiting your arrival, please do come in."

She ushered him inside, and just as she shut the door, a scream was heard from above them.

"Yumi!" Ulrich ran up the spiral staircase only to find Yumi gone, with a note on her bed.

'We have taken the girl. No doubt she will make an excellent addition to our crew... with some discipline.

You shall see to it that no-one comes after her - lest she walk the plank, mate.

Pray you are never in our sights,

Captain Valentine, of the Stormrider.'

"But...I love her..." Ulrich began screaming into the night, collapsing after all the shock.

End Flashback

"I made a vow that day that I would be ready when they next returned...and when I was ready - I would kill them all." Ulrich ended, sheathing his sword and hanging it up with the rest.

A/N - WOW! that was good! So good! Yay! Pirates are the best! I am Argent Valentine, and I LOVE PIRATES!
