Chapter 1

The elegant Flying Dutchman sailed through the waters. Aboard the ship, the crew were busy. One of them, Clanker, was always day dreaming. "Get going bilge rat!" Jimmy Legs growled at him. "What's your problem?" he retorted. "I have no problem," Jimmy Legs said innocently and fingered his whip. Jimmy Legs was notoriously known for cleaving flesh from bone with every swing. Clanker looked at it cautiously and backed away from Jimmy Legs. In retaliation, Jimmy Legs whirled around and walked away, apparently feeling that this situation was not worth it. Clanker knew that Jimmy Legs never liked him. To be fair, Jimmy Legs never liked anybody ever.
As Clanker's focus came back to him, he joined Hadras, who was trying to clean something with no progress. "Need help there?" Hadras looked up at him. "I'm fine Clanker." Clanker sat down next to him and sighed. He didn't like being trapped on this ship but he figured that there was a reason why he was here. Just then, Jimmy Legs sauntered over and before Hadras could say a word, snatched his head and began playing with it. Standing up, Clanker walked over and said, "give it back now." Jimmy Legs simply smiled and held Hadras' head out of his reach. "Clanker, don't worry about me," the head said. Lunging forward, Clanker missed and fell smack on the deck, Jimmy Legs laughing in glee.
Hearing the commotion, Jones came on deck. "What's this?" he asked. Quickly throwing Hadras' head over to Clanker, Jimmy Legs pointed at him and told Jones that Clanker attacked him. Getting up with Hadras' head, Clanker denied Jimmy Legs' claims and stated that they were false. "I can vouch for Clanker," came Hadras' voice. Jones looked the head and raised an eyebrow. "Sir, I'm telling you the truth." Jones huffed and left. He had no time for this nonsense.
After Clanker gave Hadras his head back, Greenbeard came over. "Nice job buddy, ticking the captain off." "It wasn't my fault!" Clanker said, raising his hands in the air to prove his innocence. Bootstrap then came over. "Go bother someone else," he suggested and Greenbeard then walked away, giving them the suspicious eye. "What a creep," Bootstrap said. Clanker smiled weakly. "Thanks Bootstrap," he replied. "No problem," Bootstrap responded. "Hey love birds!" Koleniko called out to them, "ship's been spotted!"
