Adventure Bay was unusually stormy this night as a group of pups sat huddled at the top floor of a large tower-like structure. The pups lay there watching Apollo The Super Pup. At least, until there was a flash pf lightning, accompanied by the entire room going pitch black. Some pups groaned while others let out startled yelps. After a minute a young boy walked into the room carrying a couple of electric lanterns.

"Sorry pups, looks like the storm knocked out the power. We'll have to find something else to pass the time."

"We could play Pup-Pup Boogie!" Rubble suggested.

"With no power?" Rocky deadpanned.

"Oops... Hehe..."

"We could tell stories." Chase suggested. Skye suddenly perked up.

"Ooh! Ryder, I've got a story to tell! Please?"

"Sure Skye, go ahead." Skye yipped, doing a flip before grabbing a lantern and running to the door.

"Gotta get something from storage first! Be right back!" After several minutes she returned, carrying an old, tattered journal.

"Wow Skye, that book looks to be a couple hundred years old!" Rocky exclaimed.

"A little older than that. It dates back to the early 1690s." Skye explained. Rocky gaped.

"The Golden Age of Piracy!?" Skye nodded as everyone else looked on in wonder.

"This journal belonged to my ancestor, Aria Aeroblade."

"Aewoblade!?" Zuma gasped. "As in Captain Aewoblade!? The most wuthless and feawed piwate pup to evew sail the Seven Seas!? She's youwe ancestow!?" Skye nodded, an embarrassed blush on her face.

"Captain Aeroblade?" Chase questioned.

"There's a story where Captain Aeroblade and he crew slaughtered an entire village." Rocky began. "When asked about it, she said she did it cause she 'felt like it'."

"Woah, brutal..." Marshall whimpered.

"Let's all be glad our Skye's nothing like that." Ryder stated, petting the cockapoo. "Go ahead and read Skye." Skye grinned, carefully opening the journal so as not to damage it. She cleared her throat and began to read.

January 2, 1691:

The two ships were locked in brutal combat. On each side pups were eaither shooting eachother or screaming profanities. The sound of cannon fire was deafening, but not enough so that the crew of one ship couldn't hear the door to the Captain's Quarters slam open.

"What the hell is going on out here!?" The resulting cockapoo demanded, here wide brimmed hat and coat a deep magenta. Despite her small size, a single short glance could tell you this is not a pup to be messed with.

"Captain!" A nearby husky shouted. "It's the Royal Pup Navy!"

"Which ship?" Aeroblade demaded.

"The Raven, but the Admiral's with them as well." Aeroblade snatched the telescope that was held out to her, using it to peer at the enemy ship. When she caught sight of a german shepherd decked out in admiral's gear, she smirked.

"Wait for my signal." Aeroblade told the husky, jumping off the side of the ship and latching onto a stray rope. Swinging over to the other side, she landed with a graceful flip, unsheathing her blade to cut a startled soldier's throat. As several more pups advanced on she, she grinned devilishly. One took a swing at her, only for her to flip into the air, causing him to hit his comrade instead. She landed on the soldier's back, grabbing his head and twisting it sharply. She then proceeded to ram her sword into another soldier's chest, before pulling out a pistol, designed to be wielded by a pup, and shot the final soldier in the head. He collapsed to reveal the Admiral. Aeroblade grinned.

"Hello love, I take it you missed me?"

"I'm here to bring you in Aria, no funny business." He growled, circling her.

"You say that, but we both know it isn't going to happen. You probably came here to glance at my rear again after so long."

"The king is getting on my ass Aria." He explained. "He's demanding I bring you in." Aria rolled her eyes.

"Even if you do arrest me here, we both know you'll 'accidentally' allow me to escape when he pass Adventure Bay." She fluttered her eyelids, walking forward to nuzzle him. "I do enjoy your presence love, I really do, but I have a reputation to keep." She raised he paw, and his eyes widened.

"You're insane."

"And yet you choose to bed me every chance you get. I'll see you soon beloved." She clenched her paw, and her ship, Thunderbird, fired with everything it had. The Raven was ripped to shreds as. Aria leapt over tge side of the ship. Over on the Thunderbird, the husky watched as the remains of the Raven, and the pups that were on it, collapsed into the ocean. Aria pulled herself over the railing, dripping wet but smiling.

"That was fun." Aria chirped as she staggered over to the wheel, the husky taking her place beside the captain. "So, where do you think we should go next Frost?"

"Honestly Captain, I'm hoping for any place with a tavern." The husky, Frost, stated.

"Adventure Bay it is!" Aria grinned. "OY! LOOSE THE SAILS!" Her crew scrambled to complete her orders, and soon, they were sailing towards another adventure.
