Hey all, I just couldn't wait to start posting chapters so hears number two. =D I hope you all like this because I have given it much thought. This chapter is Capp telling the story, and it will lead up to where everyone meats each other. O, and P.S, something that you might need to know, starboard is the right side of the ship when you are facing forward, and port is the left side of the ship when you are facing forward.
Chapter 2, A new immortal
Capp's P.O.V
"I love my ship." That's all I could think about after I had bought her. Her name is, 'The Golden Guardian' she was built by the Frost Trading Company in the seventeen hundreds. I purchased this fine vessel for just five hundred thousand, from a museum in England. Although in bad shape I had her fully restored by a company in Manhattan, and intended on sailing her down into the Gulf of Mexico, then up the Mississippi river, and finally docking her in St. Louis Missouri. I was then going to use my fine ship, as a floating museum to teach about the history of shipping.
She is a huge ship about one and a half times that of what the Titanic was. There is a two story captains quarters at the back that towers above the whole lower deck. And on top of the captain's quarters, is where all of the controls for the ship are. And towering over everything, are four giant sails, two smaller ones at each end, and two slightly bigger ones in the middle. Also, she is made from the finest quality oak and walnut lumber, and some of the strongest iron. And the decorative trim is beautiful; it is finely polished brass that goes along the whole top hand rail that wraps around the whole ship. You can literally see her shine in the distance. On the inside I have placed some very intricate furniture, there is a grand piano on the lower floor of the captain's quarters and in the dining room, I have some of the finest silverware, and a wonderful dining room set made out of polished pine and walnut.
(Listen to, Of Monsters and Men-Little Talks)
I had just left the harbor and was about twenty miles out to sea, when I heard a call come in over my police scanner. (I had of course installed some very fancy electronics on her to keep her up to date)
There was allot of fancy police talk that I didn't understand, but I did understand the part where they said, "Downtown has been destroyed, and now a massive laser that is coming out of the sky is heading out to sea." When I heard that, I quickly tried to radio in to the harbor to see what had happened, but when I did I got no response. But then the police station tuned in on my frequency and asked, "Is this the ship, Golden Guardian? And what is your location? Over"
I quickly picked up the mic and said, "This is Capt. Kyle Anthony Frost, owner of the ship, Golden Guardian, and we are about twenty miles off shore, due east of Manhattan, over."
They came back and said, "How many people are on board your ship? Over."
"Only myself and a friend of mine named Kurt (Swift) Johnson. Over" I said.
"Please try and relocate your position ten miles south, southwest. Over"
"Ok, will do. Over" and that was the last thing I heard from them.
I yelled down at Swift, who was mopping the lower deck, and said, "We have been ordered to change position to the south, southwest because of an emergency.
"What is the emergency?" questioned Swift, and I told him that I honestly didn't know for sure, but downtown Manhattan was destroyed. When I said that, he quickly stopped what he was doing and came to the control deck to help me.
I turned the wheel and he ship suddenly lurched to the side as she made the turn, but then we had a problem. The wind was against us and we were barely moving. I looked at Swift and said, "I have never been one to follow orders anyway, so let's turn so that the wind is behind us. And go straight towards land, and then when we are at the ten mile marker, we will turn due south. That will put us in the same position as ordered; it's just a different way of getting there."
Swift laughed and then agreed, so I grabbed the wheel and gave it another sharp turn. But this time the wind hit the sails and the ship jumped forward as if she had came to life.
The wind was harsh that day, so we quickly reached thirty knots, which is around thirty two miles an hour. Even though that sounds slow, it is quite fast for a ship this size.
When we reached the fifteen mile mark I could plainly see why we were ordered to go southwest, I was driving my ship right towards the sky laser that destroyed the city.
I yelled at Swift, "Get up here now! I screwed up royally and I need your help!" I was not mad, I was in panic!
Swift did not take long to get to my side and start helping me. I was at the wheel, and he was trying to coordinate the fastest way to avoid being hit by the laser, because, you see, a ship as big as mine does not turn in a split second. It takes time, and a certain amount of coordination.
He looked to me and said, "Turn twenty three degrees starboard." I quickly did as he said but it was to late, before my ship could get completely out of the way, we were hit. The laser, or Bifrost, as I now know what it's called, hit the ship on the port side with a loud bang. I felt the ship jump to that side and then the Bifrost over took us. It surrounded the whole ship, but for some reason the ship, me, and Swift, seemed to be the only things that the it wouldn't destroy. It was absolutely beautiful though, all of the colors of the rainbow plus a few more, raining down on us.
And then Swift noticed something; he looked at me and said, "Look Capp, the ship is absorbing the light!"
I looked around and saw for myself that he was right. And then I noticed something myself, I looked at Swift and said, "It's not just the ship absorbing the light, we are too!" He then looked with astonishment as the mixture of light was going into us as well.
"What do we do Capp?" he asked.
"I don't think we can do anything but let it run its course and go over us. And right when I said that, it was gone, as if someone had turned it off.
Swift and I looked at each other, not believing what had just happened. Then I looked at my ship, she was almost glowing. The polished wood was a shade lighter, and the brass trim was in a permanent state of sparkle. My off-white sails looked like they had just been bleached, and most of all, my controls were different. I had buttons and switches labeled for flying and teleporting.
And then I finally took the time to look at myself. My black hair had turned to a light brown, and somehow I was in completely different clothes. I was now wearing plain brown pants, with polished black boots. I had a bleached-white T shirt and over that was a light brown vest with golden buttons down the front. And then over that was an old leather captains jacket, that had brass buttons down the front, but it wasn't buttoned. I also had a dark brown three cornered hat with a blue and green feather sticking up from the top. And the biggest thing of all was the nice, fancy, golden pair of swords that I had strapped to my belt on each side. The only three things that were the same, was my blue eyes, my medium length of hair, and my height, (5 foot 8 inches).
Swift was the about the same height as me, with brown eyes and blond hair, and he was wearing a plain military uniform, that looked to be from the same age as my cloths, the Golden Age.
Not long after we had our "incident" and got settled back down, we saw a sleigh being pulled by reindeer coming straight for us, it then landed on my lower deck. I looked at Swift and said, "That's just great, hit by a space laser, and now going crazy!" He looked at me and didn't say anything, that's when I realized that he saw them too.
We both walked down the spiral staircase that went up the outside of the captain's quarters from the lower deck to the control deck. When we got to the lower deck, we walked up to the group, and both of us simultaneously said, "Hi".
I could see that one half of the group was the Avengers, and the other half looked like the Guardians of childhood, but I wasn't sure.
"Hi there, my name North, and this Bunnymund, Jack, Tooth, and Sandy" he then looked at Sandy, "Sandy, Sandy, WAKE UP!" he yelled, which made Sandy quickly come to.
After hearing what North had to say, that confirmed what I had thought, they really were the Guardians.
"I am Capt. Kyle Frost, but you can call me Capp for short. And this is my trusty first mate Swift; we were just starting our journey to Missouri, when that laser hit us."
Then a guy named Thor, or I should say, a god named Thor, told me that, that wasn't no laser, it was the one and only Bifrost. And then he went on to say that because the Bifrost didn't kill us, it probably made us immortals, and we more than likely had powers of some kind.
Right then Jack interrupted everyone and asked me, "Did you say your last name was Frost?"
I looked at him and said, "Ya, my family goes all the way back to Thomas J Frost, who started the Frost Trading Company in England."
When I said that, Jack became overjoyed and ran up and hugged me, yelling, "That is awesome, Thomas was my great, great, great, great, grandfather. So that means we are family, you are the only family that I have, we can be brothers!"
I didn't know what to say, other than a brother that I hadn't seen in four years I had no family either, I looked at him and said, "That sounds good to me." When I said that, I guess that called for another hug because I got one, he was just completely overjoyed to have someone to call family. I thought the Guardians were a kind of family, but I guess it really is different when you are literally in the same family.
Then North said, "Well, we all go to pole, and get to know each other." And then everyone started to walk towards the sleigh.
I told them all to stop and then said, "Why don't we take my ship, I have one leaver for flying and a set of controls for teleporting." They all just looked at me, then North asked, "Do you know how run them?" To which I replied with a confident "No" he then said, "Ok then, I will show how" and he did.
{I will continue with North teaching Capp to fly his ship in the next chapter, it will be a good one, trust me, haha =D}
