NUMBER ONE(newfound lands)
Captain Jack Sparrow stared out across the bow of the Black Pearl wistfully, weeks of sailing across the open seas had taken its toll and worst of all, oh horror of horrors, the rum supply had run out last week. His new first mate scurried to his side "what's wrong, Captain?" he asked, Jack took a while to reply, "The rum's gone…"
"Is that really it Captain? Or is it something more?" Jack turned slowly and whispered "I feel like we're about to hit something big, even bigger than the rum problem, and I never thought I'd say that." The ship suddenly rocked violently as if it was being attacked by the Kraken and the air filled with yells and screams from the crew "what's going on?" Jack shouted over the racket, his only reply was the THWACK of a blunt object hitting the back of his head, and then everything descended into blackness…
When he awoke he was tied to a post and surrounded by strange-looking people, clothing and symbols he had never seen before, although they all seemed to share two things, first was the expressions of distrust and wariness, the second was the musical note inscribed on their metal-plated headbands and weapons. The one he deemed the leader walked up to him and lifted his head to look at him properly, he asked "what village are you from? And where are your headbands?" Jack looked at him, confused, and received a sharp kick to the chin "who are you!" questioned the man
"Captain Jack Sparrow" replied Jack with a small smirk, "at your service milady" He received yet another boot to the head, the man drew a small knife and just as he was about to end Jack's life, the sounds of battle caused him to turn swiftly around to defend himself, only to be skewered on a massive sword, blade wider than a man's head, narrowly missing Jack himself.
"Need a little help, stranger?" asked a man in a green jumpsuit with extremely large eyebrows, "could be useful" Jack replied cautiously, the man with huge eyebrows cut his bonds and threw Jack a sword "defend yourself, kill anyone wearing the notes ok? We'll talk later" almost immediately he was attacked by one of the strange men and was forced to fight, even though his legs were sore from being tied up for so long, the person he was fighting was fast, much faster than Jack was, but he managed to get a good slice across their throat and finished them, proud of himself, he looked around for his crew, only to realise they were standing at the ready behind him, weapons raised. With a gleam in his eyes, Jack gave the order to charge and watched from the sidelines as the battle was won, there were no friendly casualties but some men were seriously wounded. The man with huge eyebrows bounded over to Jack and offered him and his crew a place to stay and be healed for a while, Jack accepted graciously despite his natural distrust of strangers who he couldn't manipulate easily.
He had dinner with the men who had saved his life and learned many things, that the people who were trying to kill him were part of the "Hidden Village Of Sound," that they were all ninjas and that there was no rum on the entire group of islands, which annoyed him to no end, he made do with the drink they DID have, it was called sake and tasted nowhere near as good as rum, but it did have a nice buzz to it. He also learned that the man with the huge eyebrows was called Guy sensei, but he was told to just call him Guy, which suited him just fine. That night, Jack settled in the strange bed, looked up at the strange roof, and eventually fell into a deep, alcohol-fuelled slumber.
