The screams of the people filled the air as they sought out the flotsam that floated in the water nearby. Many of them went beneath the waves, never resurfacing. The entire time I watched the derelict ship sink into the water, that pirate bastard was laughing in my ear. He was getting a kick out of the fact that he had just killed all these innocent people. The only thing that was stopping me from turning around and punching him in his smug face was the thought of what could happen to Ahri and Jinx if I angered this man. He clapped me on the shoulder and pointed out to the people calling for help.
"Ye see that lad? That there is the finest music on the ocean, the sound of the weak being removed and strong moving up the ladder. It be called survival of the fittest lad, and it be a lesson me pa taught me real well. Ye remember this lad, the only way ye'll get stronger is by killing those who be weaker. If ye not strong enough, ye keep low until ye are strong enough. Then ye sneak up behind them and gut them like the pigs they be." As he made this point as well as giving me the sloppiest excuse for a lesson on evolution he had drawn his cutlass and was now pressing the tip of the blade against my throat.
"I understand." I said trying to not let the sharp blade touch my skin. "I'll behave, you've already gotten my friends below decks, surely that will convince you if threatening my life will not." Gangplank let out a hearty laugh before he sheathed his cutlass into its scabbard.
"Ye words be true laddy. Fer now, if ye'd be so kind I wish to make sure that my cabin is spotless. Ye duty as my new official cabin boy is a simple one. Polish every piece of silver in that room, I want to be able to see meself in it. When ye done with that, be sure me boots are nice and polished for my appearance." He chuckled to himself as he walked away twirling his pistol in his hand.
"Captain!" I called after him. He stopped catching the gun as he looked back at me with a strange look in his eyes. It was one that said if he didn't like what I had to say he would happily turn and shoot me through the head. "I wished to ask you a question."
He sighed turning back around before marching up to me and standing right in front of me. From a height perspective I was a bit taller than himself but the fierce expression on his face said that his attitude was leaps and bounds above whatever rebellious spirit I may have had. "Alright boy, what be ye question? Ye only get one question then it's off with ye to the cabin."
"Why are you doing this? That is capturing my friends and me. What possible benefit is in it for you?" The captain chuckled heartily.
"Surely ye be jokin' boy. Ye really don't know?" He slapped his forehead and he continued his uproarious laughter. "It all be makin' sense now lad! That's why ye took the ferry. I wondered why such a bright lad would be foolish enough to expose himself with a bounty on ye head."
"Bounty? What bounty?" The captain shook his finger. "Nay, ye get but only one question ye remember? Now best be getting ye ass to my chambers before I cut ye to pieces! Go!" I turned with a sigh and obediently went to his chamber. Looking around I knew then why he wanted me to polish his silver. The entire room was made of silver. His cot had a silver frame, he had silver cups next to silver plates on a silver table with silver chairs. It would take me forever to polish this, and he knew that it would keep me busy long enough to prevent me with coming up with something to get Ahri, Jinx, and I out of this mess. Even I had to admit he really had me by the balls on this one.
Getting started I began to polish everything when a sudden feeling of Déjà vu swept over me. The sudden stillness in the room seemed all too familiar as I laid on my back to begin polishing the underside of this man's silver coffee table (I mean seriously, who even makes a coffee table out of silver). I heard a large crack, the table flipping off of me and landing in a twisted metal heap. Turning to the side I saw a gaping hole where a cannonball had been fired through.
This time it was a female's voice that rang out in the still sea air. "Halt there Gangplank! Surrender the goods, unless you want to give your luck a try." Opening the door to the cabin I quietly slipped on to the deck to see what was going on. Gangplank had walked to the stern of the ship looking down at the large hole in his ship before looking up angrily.
"Now ye listen here lassie, this ship been my father's. I'm 'fraid to say it's all I have left of me old man, and ye've just blasted a hole through it! I hope ye got some way to pay for these expenses." Looking to the grand ship beside us, I saw a woman dressed in white and black carrying two wide-rimshot pistols that seemed much too big for a real gun. From beneath her tricorne luxurious curls of scarlet hair fell around her accenting that playful look in her eyes that brought to mind a cat pawing a mouse back and forth before finally consuming it. The same way those eyes were consuming those around them now.
"Oh shut up Gangplank! Have you no sense of disgrace? I mean you're the one who killed the bastard in the first place! Now I'll ask one more time before I begin to get angry, and as you know when I'm angry people tend to get really hurt, really quickly. Give…me…the…haul." I noticed that captain cringe at her words and he passively crossed his legs before leaning against the rampart. Sighing the woman leaned forward from hers as well the two of them no more than ten feet from one another. It surprised me how passive Gangplank was being in this negotiation and it was obvious the two of them knew each other. "I tell you what Gangplank…give me the haul, and I'll make it worth your while."
Her voice was soft and sultry as she spoke, and a slight tinge of familiarity struck me as I thought of Ahri and her charms. Gangplank smiled softly as he watched her, a light smirk coming across the woman's face believing her charms to have gotten the best of him. It was quite obvious she was wrong when Gangplank suddenly pulled his flintlock from the sash around his waist, and without even turning shot the man up in her crow's nest that was lining a shot with the sniper rifle. With a scream the man fell from the mast before landing with a splash in the water, floating face down with a cloud of crimson around him.
"Now ye listen to me Sarah…"
"Miss Fortune."
"Are ye still calling yerself that? I mean I get the pun with the whole fate theme ye got goin', but don't ye think it's gettin' just a wee bit old lass?"
"Says the man who's named after a long piece of wood that goes between ships?"
"Lass I can't help the name me father chose for his dear sweet son. Needless to say he never thought too highly of me. Musta' been his keen sense of humor to name me after something constantly walked on."
"And ye, I mean you, know as well as I that Fortune is indeed my last name. So let's cut the crap Gangplank and just give me the loot before I blow another hole in your ship. It is a rather nice one and I'd just feel awful watching it sink to the bottom of the sea. Especially what with the captain having to go down with the ship and all."
"Well ye need to check yer informative sources because if ye must know we haven't gots any plunder aboard the vessel."
"Don't you lie to me Gangplank, I know you have the summoner and his companions. They're worth a whole lot of money and you know as well as I do that I'll shoot my way through you to get to them." I gasped softly at her words. Another bounty hunter?! Just how high was this bounty on my head? Carefully tiptoeing away from the sight of the two I managed to slip into the brig, when Ahri saw me her eyes lit up and before the two guards could react to my presence I sprang into action.
One drew his cutlass quickly as he charged forward swinging it in an overhead arc. Raising my right hand I caught the blade in my gauntlet-cloaked hand before I turned releasing a fierce tornado kick to the man's gut, succeeding in stunning him briefly enough for me to wrench the weapon from his grasp. Flipping the blade outwards, my gauntlet gripping the handle the other one came and thus the battle commenced. There would be no mercy for what they'd done. They used Ahri and Jinx to get to me, and if I had to I'd kill every pirate on this whole damned ship to get us home safe.
I watched as Kal moved so quickly when he came to rescue the both of us. I had heard the cannons earlier and when I went to look out the porthole I could hear the woman discussing things with that villainous Gangplank. His sword clashed with the second pirate, over and over again as sparks flew from the metal striking one another. It was then that suddenly the gauntlet on Kal's hand began to glow and as he twirled it through the air around him the blade ignited in magical blue flames. As the second pirate held up his blade to block Kal's simply passed through it, the heat of the flames melting its way through the thin blade. The pirate gasped as he looked at the broken sword in his hands before Kal charged forward, slamming him against the bars of the cell. I gasped as Kal's blade lanced through the man's chest piercing him through the heart and killing him. As the man fell from his sword Kal turned to the other pirate who was now scurrying backwards before he reached the wall of the brig. As Kal advanced on him, like some sort of wild animal on the hunt, the man reached into his waist band retrieving his flintlock but before he could fire, another slash from the sword sliced the barrel clean off the gun. The man dropped it stunned as Kal looked down on him, rage and hatred in his eyes. Kal drew back his hand and I knew what he was about to do.
"Kal stop!" Kal blinked for a moment as he heard me call out to him. "Please Kal, you don't want to do this."
He turned towards me, placing a foot on the man's chest and pinning him down. "And why don't I? This man was going to hurt you, to hurt Jinx, all to get to me. You said so yourself that this was my fault Ahri, you said it last night remember?"
I frowned hurt. I thought we had moved past that, wasn't that what our discussion this morning was about? "Kal…"
"You were right Ahri. I don't know what I did, or why these men are after me, but they're using you to get to me and I cannot have that. I'm rectifying the mistake I made, and I'll do it sending one damned soul to hell at a time."
"Kal! This is not you. You've never been this way before. The only time you've ever come close to killing someone was when you were fighting Thresh, please don't stain your hands with more blood then you already have." As I spoke my eyes fell to the corpse on the floor, the man's eyes wide and milky as blood pooled from the side of his mouth. Kal looked to me then back to the man. He raised his hand rotating the sword's blade towards the man and drove it downward. I closed my eyes unwanting to see what became of the pirate before I heard Kal's voice in the darkness.
"Consider yourself lucky Ahri's heart is not as cold as mine pirate, otherwise this blade would have pierced your skull rather than your pride." I opened my eyes to see that the pirate was passed out the blade embedded halfway to the hilt through the wood beside the man's head. I let out a sigh of relief, I could still reach the Kal I knew. He turned towards me and smiled softly before going to the bars with a grin. "So Lady Ahri, what does this handsome young swashbuckler get for his daring rescue?"
I blushed softly. It was so strange to see Kal being flirty with me, though I had to admit I kind of liked it. Reaching through the bars I grabbed him by his collar and pulled him to me placing a gentle kiss on his lips. "There, now will you please get me the hell out of here?"
Kal blushed as well, as he gestured for me to stand back. Stepping back from the gate he grabbed the sword and once more causing it to ignite in flames, he slipped it between the door of the cell and the wall. Slicing downwards he managed to cut through the bolt in one fell swoop, before pulling it open. I rushed to him hugging him tightly before smiling softly. Grabbing Jinx's wrist we headed above deck where we gently pushed open the door to find that the pirates were waging a fierce war, each armed with a blade, locked in mortal combat.
Heading upwards after Ahri's rescue I saw a sea of men blades clashing with one another above deck as they fought one another for their prize. I didn't intend on sticking around to be a trophy for either pirate though, and seeing one of the lifeboats I indicated for Ahri to head that way. We made our way through the skirmish ducking this way and that as pirates slashed about us. One seeing our attempt to escape gave chase, a problem easily rectified.
Over and over again our steel met one another's as we seemed to be locked in some kind of lethal dance of blades. The whole thing was rather exciting to say the least. Had someone a week earlier told me I'd be on a ship fighting my way through pirates in order to get Ahri and a girl who was catatonic away from two murderous bounty hunters, I'd have thought they were insane. The man's blade glanced off of mine dealing a light score on my arm and using the moment I spun before driving my elbow to his throat causing him to gasp and sputter. I knocked the blade from his hand picking it up in my left, as we leapt back into the fray. I slashed and sliced my way through the battlefield, accessing skills I didn't know I possessed all to escape with the two girls. I could see Ahri now forming her orb as she began hurling them one after another at our foes, covering them with burns from her fox fire. The path cleared to the stairs leading to the bow of the ship Ahri and I began to advance towards them rushing upward.
That's when I found myself looking through the barrel of a wide-rimmed musket and looking up I saw the angered eyes of the one known as Sarah Fortune, the bounty hunter. "Now, now summoner where are you off to in such a hurry hmm?" I frowned before looking back to Ahri only to find now that Gangplank had her hostage, his sword pressed against her throat the other point a flintlock pistol at me.
"I must say laddie, ye impressed me. Who'd have known that a wet-behind-the-ears whelp such as yeself had it in ye? But I fear the time for games has passed lad. Drop your weapons or else the girlie here gets a pretty ruby necklace, courtesy of me blade." I turned back to Miss Fortune who had one gun leveled at me, the other at Gangplank.
"And how will the two of you decide who gets the bounty?" I asked. "No wait, let me guess. Some sort of drinking competition?" Miss Fortune laughed, a laugh which was charming to say the least.
"Please lad, I could easily drink this sea dog under the table. We've proven that before on many an occasion."
"Aye, to me shame is true laddie."
"I tell you what sweet heart…" Miss Fortune said softly to me as she gently grazed her pistol's rim beneath my chin in a flirtatious manner. "Why don't you give up on fox girl and come with me instead? I'll be your champion…in more ways than one." She gave me a wink as she ran her tongue over her lips in a gesture that made my heart race. I shook my head vehemently, unwilling to give up on my champion. "Are you sure handsome?"
I watched as Kal's body began to tremble, stuck between a rock and a hard place. On one hand, there was this charming floozy, attempting to seduce him into leaving with her, on the other was a fierce villain attempting to use me as a hostage to get to Kal. I didn't know which was worse. A fear settled in to me, what if he did decide to leave me…what if he did go with this woman? He had said once before that if given the option he would trade me for almost anyone else. "Don't listen to her Kal, she's just trying to cha-" My words were cut off by the pirate pulling the blade further against my throat.
I was stunned as Kal sighed and lowering his hands dropped both of the blades to the ground. He walked slowly towards the woman with the long fiery hair causing a smirk to come to her lips. She gently placed a kiss on Kal's cheek and the deal was struck. That was it, he had left me. He abandoned me as soon as another woman came willing to take my place. I could feel tears beginning to well up in my eyes. This was always how it was going to be wasn't it? Stupid little Ahri, never learning her lesson. No sooner having given a man my heart that he throws it aside in exchange for another he deemed better. Kal put both of his hands behind his back as he stood behind the woman who let out a triumphant laugh.
"Sorry Gangplank, but I think we've seen whom the victor is today. And you know what they say…" She said as her hand gently caressed Kal's cheek, her fingernails running through his beard. "To the victor…" Gangplank growled angry that his gambit had failed him.
"Then the lad won't be mindin' if I take out this garbage for him will he?" He began to press the blade against my throat more and I could feel the warm feeling of a drop of blood pouring down my throat, running between my breasts in a crimson streak.
Suddenly Miss Fortune shifted uncomfortably, from one foot to the other. Kal's hand had wrapped behind her back, as one would do to an intimate lover. His hand was low, as if on her ass which would explain the strange reaction from her. However, I also noticed that the smile on her face was gone, having found a place on Kal's instead.
"You know Gangplank…on second thought. I'd be willing to trade you…erm," Miss Fortune looked nervous as she began to ponder something. "I'll trade you half…" she jumped, "all! All of the treasure I've gathered today in exchange for the fox…I mean both of the girls."
Gangplank looked at her suspiciously. "What's the catch?"
"No…no catch. I just wanted to see the fox girl's expression while her boyfriend and I became very close with ONE another." She smiled sheepishly, her cheeks a light red. "The chest is in my cabin, feel free to take it if you LIKE!" She yipped the last word oddly, but Gangplank wasn't going to pass up loot for two measly women. As he passed, Kal and Miss Fortune rotated and I saw why she was acting so strangely. Kal's hand was bathed in light blue flames, his gauntlet glowing softly, and located on one of the grooves was a rune that was buffing his power even more greatly. I had to bite my lip to resist shouting for joy. I had thought he was abandoning me, but instead he had simply found a way out of the situation. As Gangplank came back with the chest he nodded to Jinx and I and slowly we climbed the stairs, Miss Fortune slowly backing up towards her ship before we all walked across the boarding plank.
I smiled softly to myself as Miss Fortune began giving the orders to set sail. My plan had gone without a hitch. I figured that she'd be so reliant on her charms that she'd not have predicted any man to double-cross her like this. The sails billowed out on her ship and it took off, the air currents lunging us forward as the cheers of Gangplank and his crew were carried across the ocean. When they were finally just a spot on the horizon I removed my hand slowly from Miss Fortune's back causing her to give a sigh of relief before pouting at me.
"You better not have left a burn on my back, my silky skin is my bread and butter you know." She came closer to me and gently ran her fingernails in small circles on my chest. "I don't understand you hon, you could have had it all. Fame, riches…Fortune." She smirked softly as she pressed herself closer to me. "It's not too late after all…you can still choose me over her now that she's out of danger." I saw Ahri gritting her teeth angrily before she pushed her away from me standing between the two of us.
"Back off lady, can't you see he's not interested in an old hag like you?" Ahri put her hands on her hips, her tails standing straight out as spirit flames glowed on their tips. "I ought to immolate you right here and now for the stunt you tried to pull on him back there, Kal's much too noble to fall under your charms." She looked over her shoulder to me nervously, "Right…Kal?"
I smiled at her and reassured her by walking up to her and wrapping my arms around her waist, resting my chin on her shoulder. "We made a pact didn't we?" I whispered softly in her ear before placing a kiss on her cheek. "Now then Miss Fortune if you could be so kind as to drop us off at the nearest port on the mainland, I'd greatly appreciate it." It was then that I heard the click of a gun loading behind me. Releasing Ahri I turned to see Jinx, pointing a revolver in my nose, on her face a creepy smile that went from ear to ear.
"Surprise pretty boy. Bet you weren't expecting that were you?" I raised my hands as Ahri and I stood back to back, Miss Fortune having drawn out her muskets and aiming them at Ahri. The two of them smiled at one another. "I have to say Sarah, that was an excellent performance on your part."
"Me? Ha! You were the one who pretended to be catatonic for three days, it seems like I owe someone some money. I didn't think you'd be able to stay quiet that long much less emotionless." I looked from one to the other and back.
"Wait, this entire time…it's been a ruse? Why Jinx? I thought that we were friends." Jinx sighed softly gently placing a hand on her cheek in a way that denoted false regret.
"Oh my, you're so right Kal. I can't believe I forgot how much you meant to me. Now I can let you go and we can be best friends forever, right after you DROP ME OFF AT PILTOVER WITH HATLADY!" I cringed softly. I had forgotten that she heard that when Ahri and I were talking the other night. "Not that it wasn't fun taking a beating for your sake pretty boy. You should have just died in those mines and saved the rest of us a lot of effort. Do you know how close I came to actually ending up catatonic like that? I'll give you a hint, 27 degrees off doesn't quite do it as it takes 28 degrees to lobotomize a person."
"Lobotomize? Your boss was going to lobotomize you over me? Why?! Why does he care about me so much?" Jinx laughed hysterically.
"How arrogant can you be? He doesn't give two shits about you pretty boy, he wants one thing and one thing only." My eyes went wide with horror as I glared at her.
"No…no way. Not a chance."
"That's right pretty boy, he's doing this for the foxy chick, not for you. You just happened to be the poor sod that ended up as her champion. You should only be so lucky, I hope she at least put out for you considering what the boss is going to do to you when we get back home. Ain't that right Sarah?" Miss Fortune smiled and walked up to Ahri gently taking her chin in her hand and tilting her head on either side.
"That's correct my dearest Jinx, though I still don't understand what he sees in her. She's truly not even that much of a looker in my opinion." Ahri let out a soft growl, baring her teeth at the voluptuous seductress. "But no point in us spoiling the surprise…you'll just have to wait to get there to discover your fate."
"And what do you plan on doing to us in the mean time?" I asked cautiously as I felt the rune in my gauntlet click once more, having been activated for the second of its three spell uses. Jinx gently tapped her chin with her finger as she thought.
"Excellent question pretty boy…I suppose we owe you something don't we?" She winked at Miss Fortune. "Oh yes, I suppose we do. We might as well give you one last hoorah before you go out tomorrow morning. Perhaps we should tie him up, force him to watch the crew have their way with the fox girl?"
Miss Fortune smirked at the expression of anger in my eyes. "Oh, or perhaps the other way around? We could show this Summoner what it's like to be with a real woman…maybe then he'd give up the champion without a fight. Then we'd be able to simply deliver her to the boss."
Jinx laughed. "Sarah, you're just saying that because you're having a dry spell. It's obvious that you want some 'protein' in your diet, but keep it your pants girlfriend." She shook her head with a sigh before turning back to me. "No we'll have to do this a different way. I say we torture the both of them while the other one watches." Jinx walked up to me and ran her hand through my hair. "Really sorry it had to come to this pretty boy, but dem's da rules."
Miss Fortune pouted at Jinx. "Oh c'mon at least let me have one round with him. Please?" she pleaded. Jinx rolled her eyes with a sigh.
"Fine, but promise me this, once you're done with him you'll cut it off. That's torture enough to satisfy me." Miss Fortune smirked, "Honey once I'm done, I'll tie him to the mast and shoot it off in front of his girlfriend if you like." She grabbed me by the wrist and dragged me towards her quarters. A sly smile on her face as we entered. Slamming the door shut behind us she roughly pressed her lips against mine. I struggled to push her away but her kisses were so…I couldn't find the words to describe it. These were not like the ones that Ahri had given me, these were ones that were primal and raw. She lifted my shirt over her head as she shoved me down on the bed, the click of metal cuffs acknowledging that there was nowhere left for me to go. Straddling my waist she slowly unbuttoned her blouse casting it aside before untying her corset. Dropping it on the floor I saw her body exposed to me and the sight of it made me gasp. Her hand gently ran down my chest, working its way on my belt before she whipped it off quickly.
Already my arousal was becoming apparent. I closed my eyes concentrated hard on blocking out the physical stimulus she was providing me, but the urge was difficult to say the least. I felt her hand undo the clasp on my trousers and slipping inside I felt her finger tips on the most sensitive part of me. I shuddered as my body responded to her touch, her lips forcing me quiet while the binds kept me still. Her hand wrapped around my member as she began to gently stroke it, causing me to gasp softly in her lips.
"Still trying to resist?" She whispered softly into my ear before she began to bite my neck, leaving nibbles down my skin as I tried to prevent myself to surrendering to the sheer bliss she was giving me. Her lips trailed down my chest as she slipped my trousers and undergarments to my knees, pausing as her mouth formed into a sly grin as her eyes locked on mine, loving the look of conflict between my mind and my body. I whimpered softly pleading with her not to do this, but she simply smirked as she slipped my cock between her breasts so the tip just barely stuck out the top.
I bit my lip, a light bit of blood filling my mouth as her warm flesh enveloped me, I watched shocked as she leaned down running the top of hot, rough tongue over my slit with a slight giggle. Her eyes glared into mine, and leaning down further she took me into the moist tunnel of her mouth as she slowly rose up and down my prick. I tried hard to stifle a moan and my senses returned to me when the door crashed open, revealing a very pissed off Ahri, her tails bathed in flames as she threw an unconscious and bruised Jinx onto the ground.
"Hey bitch. Get your hands off of him." She growled angrily causing Sarah to leave my body. I gave a sigh, though be it one of disappointment or relief I wasn't sure. Miss Fortune smiled softly at her and walked to her, her nude figure swaying ever so slightly as she approached.
"Oh what's the matter fox girl? He never get this excited for you does he?" She asked with a smile. Why don't you let him choose the one he wants, after all I'm sure he'd much rather be with the one who is 'just friends' than the one who'll give him more pleasure than he's ever experienced.
Ahri simply growled as she turned to me, shoving Sarah out of the way as she approached. "Well Kal, this is where we find out. Who's it going to be Kal me, or the one who's willing to use her magic to charm you away?"
"Oh like you're one to talk, I could sense you casting your charming spell on him through Jinx when you were in the brig. 'Oh no Kal, don't kill that man. You're better than that.' Please I'm surprised he wasn't smart enough to figure it out." I looked between the two women and looked at Ahri.
"Is that true? Did you really charm me?" Ahri looked down at the ground and gently rubbed her shoulder. It was clear that it was true by her silence. "What happened to not using magic on me Ahri? I trusted you…"
Ahri turned back to me. "No you don't understand it wasn't like that it-"
"Oh hush girly, I'm sure the Summoner is sick of your excuses. Now leave us to our fun, you had your chance with him." Ahri stared into my eyes.
"Kal you have to listen to me, the charm is not what you think it was. Please, you've got to believe me." Miss Fortune laid next to me pressing her body against mine, clouding my head as she whispered into my ear, attempting to convince me to betray my partner. I closed my eyes trying to shut out the world, and as both of their voices faded from me I found myself tumbling through darkness my mind attempting to find escape within its own refuge.
