Disclaimer: I do not own Treasure Planet only plot and original characters are mine.

A/N: I've had this idea jumping around in my head just about ever since I got into the movie again. And well…finally decided to write it. I hope you like it, and that I keep the characters in character. Please enjoy for that is why we write…

Warnings: Character death. Whose I won't say, but you don't find out who until later either. (cowers) please don't hurt me!

The glints of a thousand stars caressed against John Silver's face as he sailed through the sky, on a newly acquired and much larger ship than the one he had escaped two years ago on. A small smile crossed his mouth as he thought, leaning up against the mast of the ship.

He remembered that experience all to well, the boy he had met who had turned into a man before his eyes, and the treasure he gave up to save him. Not that he walked away completely empty handed. He'd had some left in his pockets after what he'd tossed to Jim to make sure he could at least get around for a good while.

More than he wanted to admit though, every time he used one drabloon of that money or one gem, a small memory would tug at him that would reassure him just how much of a softy he could be on the inside. It couldn't be helped though, after a few months at sea, he could have almost guaranteed that if he had had a son he would have acted exactly like Jimbo; except he might have been more handsome in his opinion, being his direct relation and all.

Wherever the man that left that family so many years ago was now, he certainly didn't know what he had, or else he would never have given it up. Or at least he would have fought harder to keep it, but from the way Jim had barely spoken about his father, it didn't seem to Silver that the man fought at all for it. If he ever met Jim's dad…well, he would more than likely have a hard time not starting a fight with him.

Turning from the past thoughts of the boy, the pirate set his sights on plans for the future. Rumor had it, that Jim had made into the academy and was one of their top students. Already he had several missions under his belt and was even awarded a medal of some kind for bravery under fire. But the reward his old friend could give him, Silver was sure would top anything even the queen could. The laws had changed, not much but enough for him to make an appearance on Montressor without a problem and that's what he was going to do.

The pirate had made his plans, weeks ago and was on his way to the Montressor space port, from there he would find the old Benbow inn and pay a visit. He wasn't sure how Jim would react to his visit but even without seeing him for so many years he knew he wouldn't have changed towards him. Maybe he would even take the lad out in a long boat again and show him a few of his own moves he'd picked up on his travels.

Shaking his head, Silver mad his way over towards the wheel, he was closer than ever to the port and he wanted to make sure he avoided any bad landings. Unfortunately his ship didn't have a crew other wise he might have had some help with the landing. But he was an experienced spacer he didn't need it. All he needed to do was get into port, not cause a ruckus what so ever or be in any place that was conspicuous, and he would be home free for a few days. If he'd heard right Jimbo would be on leave for a few months.

Whistling to himself as the planet's gleaming surface of machines came into full view, Silver pulled down towards it, as gently as possible. His ship was his most prized possession, and there wasn't one precaution he wasn't taking.

"That's it, gently now…." he muttered coming in and landing perfectly. Grinning he was just about to turn the artificial gravity off when a sudden jolt sent him slamming to the ground. Up in an instant, his mechanical arm cocked and ready he shot a look upward, looking for who or what did that. Instant terror seized him as he saw another boat, smaller than his but faster wing by into a port right next to him, half its side splintered…if they did anything to his….

Growling he took off and shot a look down at the side of his boat, the wood was splintering now and would need to be replaced.

"What are ya daft?! Can't you see where yer going, you twit! I've got a good mind to come over there and gut ye myself ya little whelp!" He snarled, caution thrown to the wind as he continued to shout threats, making ready to get off his boat and make good on several of them when a figure jumped down from the other boat. Focusing on them, his organic and mechanic eye narrowed.

The figure was a human woman, medium height and slender, with dirty blond hair, and a slightly tanned complexion who wore a large brown jacket covered her red shirt and went down just touching her loose black pants, tucked into black boots. A fire arm was by her side.

"That twit, they had a woman on board, that's always bad luck." he muttered leaning over the side. "Wench! Tell yer captain he drives like a mad man and if he dares show his face while I'm still in port I'll rip out his liver."

The woman only cocked an eye brow up at him. "I'm the caption of my own ship…." she paused and looked towards the left side of his boat, smirking. "And if you ask me, I think I made an improvement too this hunk of wood you were floating on!"

By this point Silver could feel his blood rising. "You think that's an improvement, now do ya Lassie?" his voice was frighteningly calm for his temper.

"I do."

"Well then…I suppose you'll be thinkin' it an improvement then when I come down there and gut you!!"

"If you were able to do that, you'd be down here already wouldn't you John Silver?"

He blinked, how did she know his name? "And who told you about me, lassie?" he asked flinging the walk way down and jumping down most of it, stalking over to the woman and with each step feeling some recognition grow inside of him. Fortunately no one was seeming to notice this spat.

"Why everyone knows about you, the notorious caption Silver? Made quite a name for yourself with your last escapade, Treasure Planet, how ever will you top that, hmm? But then again I know you from before, so the fact that you would rather threaten than act really doesn't surprise me." She shrugged slinging up the small rifle onto her back. Smirking in a way that made any who knew her uncomfortable and when Silver finally got close enough to see who it was he realized he was among them.

"Aurora?" he stepped back.

"In the flesh, which is more than I can say for you."

He growled. "You know very well what happened back then wench. If you hadn't come after me like that with your little band this might not have happened."

"Oh please, something like that was bound to happen to you, Silver; with how you lived and everyone you stepped on. It was only a wonder it took as long as it did for the law to finally catch up to you and give you some form of justice. Not that I care much about that."

"You're right! You weren't there to give justice, you're a blasted bounty hunter who…"

"Was employed by the royal fleet itself to catch up with pirates; especially you." she snarled, her hands concealed by her large brown jacket resting on her hips.

"You came after me on purpose and you know it."

"After what you did to me and countless others once again I'm just surprised it took someone that long to get a job like mine."

"You tried to kill me."

"I wouldn't have if you hadn't resisted arrest, but you did and I can't change what followed. Besides, it's all behind us now so there's really not anything you can do about it." she smiled in a way he hated as she turned to walk away before he grabbed her shoulder and spun her back around towards him.

"Don't you walk away from me, you did that once and this came of it. But now you're not going anywhere and it's time you learned what these new gears can do." he snarled, his mechanic arm already twisting. He wasn't going to hurt her, he just wanted to yell at her more, tell her everything he thought of her and maybe put an end to her career.

Before he could do much more an officer came up behind them. "I'm sorry is there a problem here?" he asked, though why he hadn't interrupted sooner, neither of them knew.

Silver and Aurora locked eyes, his hand still holding her jacket tightly, so much for not causing a ruckus and seeing Jim again. If she said yes, he would be taken to jail, after all it didn't look like she was the threat, just a victim. And after they found out who he was, there wasn't any doubt he'd be hanged for mutiny, piracy, and any other crimes they could find on him. He knew all to well that Caption Amelia would love nothing more than to testify at his trial against him.

Keeping his gaze locked on hers, he didn't dare open his mouth first. She'd just counter anything he said.

"Ma'am?" the officer prompted stepping closer, yet almost afraid to move forward though he didn't hear the mechanics arm went back into a hand from a gun.

Her face didn't move much, only retained the hard look it usually had before she turned to the officer.

To be continued….

A/N: Well…what'd ya think? I hope I got everything in character. If I didn't please let me know and I'll try and fix it. I wasn't sure on what Silver would say exactly or how he would say it without swearing up and down, so if I butchered his speech at all, I'm really sorry. Thanks for reading. Please review.

Take care

be blessed
