Seadogs and Sirens
Author's note: This story will have some bad dialogue as I am writing some of the characters as pirates since I thought it would be fun to do while providing a fun new story for people to read. So, I hope you will like the first chapter of Seadogs and Sirens.
Chapter 1: Pirating Gone Wrong
It was a peaceful day out on sea as seagulls flew around a wooden ship with a white skull and gold/black colors surrounding the skull, while looking for fresh food to steal. The side of the ship read "the eclipse" which has brought dark days for anyone who would pass the ship of legends. Unluckily for the seagulls they had come at the wrong time as a gruff voice shouted "get away from me food, you rats with wings." The startled birds then cawed angrily at the voice that appeared out of nowhere as he chased them with his shiny cutlass. The angry person was a black hedgehog with red stripes while wearing a matching colored pointed hat, boots and black long-sleeved shirt with red outlines on the arms and legs.
The Captain's ruby eyes glared at the sky as he searched for more of the blasted birds, but none where around. "Blasted animals always trying to steal my food" Shadow thought as he felt satisfied with chasing away the winged stealer's, then the hedgehog walked up to the wheel of the ship as he greeted by his second in command. The Captain's second in command was a middle aged fox with dark blue fur; yellow eye's as bright as the sun and a scar on his right cheek from a fight a few years ago as to why his name is Scar-faced Jones. "Captain" Jones greeted as he turned to look at his superior then looked sternly back at the ocean as he said "Everything has been calm so far, but there is a ship nearby who belongs to the "glorious" king." Shadow then looked at where the ship was to see another wooden ship with a blue and green colored flag flapping in the wind. He grabbed a nearby telescope and looked closer at the things on board as he saw a lot of boxes which was guessed to hold great riches of the king of Ablur. Smirking at the chance of getting easy treasure, the Captain then shouted to his crew "Alas me crew, there be a new shipment of riches from the king just ripe for the stealing for us pirates." There was a hearty "Yarr" from the crew at the thought of stealing more riches from the foolish king as they prepared to board the passing ship.
The ship came closer into view as The Eclipse's guns got ready and when they were close enough the first shots were fired. Surprise rang through the air as the other's crew had not expected to be attack by pirates today as four holes were made in the side of the ship. With great excitement as the whole pirate crew bordered the ship and began to plunder its riches. Shadow couldn't help but feel happy at the thought of stealing all the treasure on this ship as he landed gracefully on his feet then dodged as a sword came at him from the left. Turning the captain came face to face with a tall brown dog with fancy bright, green and gold clothing as he held his sword in both hands while preparing to cut the other in halve. The black and red pirate stopped the attack with his own sword as he kicked the challenger in the stomach. The fancy wolf rolled down some stairs and was knocked out by hitting his head on a barrel. Laughing the pirate captain stated proudly "Is this the best this sorry excuse of a ship can bring to battle?" "Oh that is the opposite of what I have for experience of battle you scurvy faced seadog," came a reply as a sword cut off some of shadows sleeve as the hedgehog glared at the newcomer after trying to roll away from the surprise attack. This person was a middle sized wolf with silver fur and angry blue eyes. The wolf then charged closer to the pirate but was tripped as the other regained his balance and scoffed at his challenger.
Shadow grinned at the other captain as he readied his own sword and was surprised at cutting at nothing but air. He looked up to see the wolf was quite agile that he was able to slip by as he now was climbing to the mast of the boat. The legendary pirate then followed and stood toe to toe with the other captain. "I must say for a "legendary pirate Shadow, you haven't even landed a strike on me" the blue eyed wolf said happily as the hedgehog only glared then tried to strike the other in the leg but only received more cutting at nothing as the other jumped over his opponent. The wolf then swung his sword around but only meets the other's blade as they began to push the weapons towards the other's throat. The struggle lasted a few minutes but the Captain's strength overpowered the others as he pushed him away and near the end of the mast.
Shadow wasted no time and began pushing the wolf back with swings of his sword as he managed to cut a few pieces of clothing with a few scratches bleeding through. Smirking the black and red hedgehog managed to get the silver furred creature to the end of the line as he smacked the weapon away, so the other was defenseless. "End of the line Captain, as I have won since my crew beat all of yours and I managed to put you defenseless". The Blue eyed captain then looked down to see most of his crew captured and some dead but smirked happily as he responded "Oh, but this could be the end of me but it is also the end of you." Confusion swept on Shadow's face of what the other could mean when suddenly an explosion blew up and sent everyone on the ship flying all over the place. The black and red Captain felt himself falling towards the water as he fell then splashed into the deep ocean. Shadow felt fear fill up his body as he tried to swim towards the sun but could feel his clothes wear him down heavily and his muscles grow weaker as he swam. "I guess this is it for me" The Captain thought as he felt his lungs fill up with water "I get a watery grave to me name after almost getting a wonderful amount of treasure." Shadow then let his eyes close as he let out his last breath and sank into the deep blue sea.
