Welcome Aboard

Chapter: 1

Abandoned Cities, good for the pickings

The rain poured down on an empty city street, there seemed to be no one left among the lonely roads. What a wonderful place to pirate some goods left behind from the previous city inhabiters. Back in those days, the Jellyfish pirates were just getting their name out in the public, headed by the young pirate Johnny, he was trying to find any way he could to support those in need, namely his crew of female orphans. So to Johnny, finding a deserted city was more then he could ask for. Johnny roamed the empty streets, the rain falling, sliding down his blonde locks, he proceeded to have free-run of the abandoned city, breaking into the buildings and taking anything that seemed to have any sort of value. This place was quite the gold mine, all that stuff just left behind. Johnny was overjoyed, yet a little confused as to why everyone would just leave all their valuables unattended.

"Ah well, their loss, my gain" Johnny said with a smile, taking his findings to his ship. In those days, Johnny's airship was a little feeble, unsteady and rusted over, but still served its purpose. Johnny hoped to raise enough money to buy a new ship one-day, but the needs of his crew always took the majority of the Jellyfish pirates funds. Johnny finally got back to the ship, the girls were all going about their usual business when Johnny returned. April ran up to greet Johnny, with a big smile, watching him lug a bag on his back, filled with random, yet valuable things.

"Wow, that's a lot Johnny! What on earth did you find!" April sang out with excitement.

"Heh, you wouldn't believe the stuff those people left behind. I was about to go out for another run." Johnny replied, smirking as April rummaged through the bag, playing with some of the jewelry. Johnny dumped the rest of the bags' contents on the floor of his room, and slung the empty bag back over his shoulder and proceeded to leave his room. April took some of the necklaces off and followed Johnny out to the deck.

"Alright, well, I'm off!" Johnny yelled to his crew. The girls all waved as they said good bye to Johnny, and April chimed in right before he left.

"Be back soon, We're making dinner now!" She said

"Sure thing!" Johnny replied and carried on his way. He departed the ship and went back to roaming the empty streets.

"Man, it's quiet here… it's kinda creepy…" Johnny said to himself as he walked up to another abandoned store. By that time, the rain started to die down to only a light mist. He could see the setting sun from the break in the passing storm clouds. He decided to go back to breaking into the store.

"This really is a gold mine!" he said to himself as he re-filled his bag with more little trinkets. Upon filling his bag, he decided that it'd be best to head back to the ship once again. He walked out of the store and looked to the sky, the rain clouds had pretty well passed, but the sun had set even lower.

"It's starting to get dark, I'd better get back before the girls start to worry… on the other hand… " Johnny smiled to himself, imagining a bunch of worried girls clinging to him affectionately. He let those thoughts ease his mind as he started to make his way back to the ship, through the lonely quite roads.

...sniffle

Johnny heard a noise, and became so startled that he dropped his bag. His eyes went wide and he lowered his sunglasses as he looked around to find where that noise came from.

sniffle, sniffle

"There it is again!" Johnny whispered to himself as he crept around to find the origin of the noise. Johnny peeked around the edge of one of the buildings, and saw a faint, shaking figure. He was unsure as to what it was exactly, but he had his hand on his sword just in case. Johnny was a smart pirate, he was not about to take any chances. Slowly he approached until he was close enough to see what was making that noise.

Oooh, sorry, I know I'm not that good of a writer… this is my first attempt at a full-blown fan fic… I don't even know if I should bother finishing this ;;.. if anyone's interested, I could probably continue.

(Using some of the criticism I've already received, I tried to fix some of my errors before I continued… I hope it's better, and I'll be updating for those who might be interested ;; thanks for reviewing so far! I really appreciate any reviews!)
