Chapter 10 End of Blackbeard

Emma made it to the helm and sailed them next to Queen Anne's Revenge. Blackbeard`s men saw The Black Rock and yelled to weigh anchor but it was too late. "Ready the cannons!" Emma wasn't letting them get away. Regina decided to watch the show so she could get some answers. Now that she could use magic she felt like her usual self. She looked over at Emma and what she saw made her heart skip a beat. The captain was angry but a sadistic smile spread on her face and it was contagious. Emma looked over at Regina and saw the smirk on her face taking a mental note that queen liked seeing her in kill mode.

When they got in range Emma had them fire shooting straight through the ship destroying all opposing cannons. "Board Queen Anne's Revenge and kill them all but Captain Blackbeard is mine!" Red was the first one to jump onto the enemy ship but Graham soon followed then Snow and Charming. They were out numbered but Granny came up top and shot anyone proving to be a challenge with her crossbow. Emma had her sword in he right hand and pistol in her left. Like her rings her weapons were also enchanted. Her sword could cut through anything at her command and her pistol nerve needed to be reloaded. She boarded the ship and without looking shot down a man aiming for her from the crow's nest.

Blackbeard was in his cabin sitting behind his desk when Emma burned the doors down with magic. "Captain Swan, I figured you'd come for me when you found out. I guess you can't expect the keeper of the code to look away from someone breaking our laws." "Before I kill you tell me who you're working for you bastard." Emma was controlling herself very well for all the anger she had pent up inside. "Not gonna ask why Swan?" Emma brought her sword up to his neck. "I couldn't care less for your reasons but I'm sure it was gold now tell me who you're working for or I'll send you to the locker without your precious beard!"

Regina was entertained watching pirates fighting but she wished she could see Emma waving her sword around instead. Just as she finished her thought Emma tossed Blackbeard onto the main deck. She had sheathed her sword but still had her pistol out which she used to shoot the last three men still putting up a fight. Red came over to her as she put her pistol away. "Bring him aboard then send his ship to the bottom of this bloody ocean." "Aye Captain!"

Emma went over to Regina who was staring intently at her. "Once I deal with this treacherous scum we can talk on our way to the cove." She turned to Belle and yelled, "Summon The Brethren Court then tell Ruby to set sail for Neverland; we'll be one captain short!" She looked back at Regina. "Blackbeard said something interesting and I'd like for you to hear it again and with more detail now that he seems to be cooperating." "I'm sure that whatever you pirates have to discuss is of less interest to me than our prior conversation now stop stalling." Emma gave her a mock hurt look then her dashing smile that would cause any woman to swoon including her majesty. "Love I've not been stalling and the thought that you think I would pains me." Emma's face dropped. "This is a serious matter and it must be taken care of. As for what Blackbeard has to say... I'm sure it will upset you but you would have found out eventually." Not letting Regina speak Emma went to her cabin with the queen hot on her trail.

Blackbeard was sat in front of Emma's desk with Graham standing close by watching him. Emma ushered Regina to her chair across from the traitor then looked over to Graham. "Tell Red we are not do be disturbed. When we find Hook have him follow us to the cove." Graham nodded his head then swiftly made is exit not wanting to be around The Evil Queen any longer than needed. Emma walked over to Blackbeard and leaned against her desk. "Tell her what you told me." He huffed then looked at Regina menacingly. "Swan if you tell her there will be a storm even your ship can't handle headed your way. You have no idea what that woman is capable of!"

Regina didn't like the look she got but seeing as she was allowed the use of magic she took that as an invitation to speed things up a bit. She started checking Blackbeard with her magic. "Pirate you have no idea what I am capable of now speak!" Emma smirked as Blackbeard gasped for air. "Fine. I'm a dead man anyway but I ask that do it yourself. Don't send me to the locker." Emma's stone face said nothing but he had no other choice but to talk. He looked over at Regina and sighed. "I'm was working for The Queen of Hearts. She wanted to get an item from the cove to help her gain power. From what I gathered she wants The Dark One's power."

Regina couldn't believe how greedy her mother was to want to become The Dark One. She was lost in thought until she heard a scream. Emma sunk a dagger into Blackbeard's gut. "Before I heal this small wound your idiocy has caused me to make tell me what you told her!" Blackbeard coughed up some blood then looked straight into Emma's eyes. "I told her she'd never make it to the cove but she offered me enough gold to satisfy even my lust. I told her that if she started hanging pirates then we'd be summoned and I could get it for her." "She told you what it was?" He paused for a moment and coughed up more blood. Emma took out the dagger and healed him. "It's the hat you left there. The one locked in that small round thing. You could say this is your fault for not keeping that thing with you."

The rage inside her boiled up again and she punched Blackbeard in the face knocking him out. She walked over to one of her chest and pulled out a locket. A soft tune started playing and Emma seemed to just stand there. Moments later a figure walked through a wall and stood in front of her. Regina couldn't see the person until he moved closer. The man wore an all black captain's outfit with blonde hair and a big blonde beard. Emma closed the locket and pointed to Blackbeard. "I'm collecting my favor. Take him to the locker where he belongs." The man smirked and grabbed Blackbeard by his coat. "A simple request Captain Swan. With this we are even but if you need me again you know how to get my attention." He flashed a genuine smile then left as he came, through a wall. Emma looked at Regina giving her that same smile that made the queen swoon internally. "Now where were we?"

AN Got this chapter done sooner than I'd planned because winter storm is supposed to hit and I don't wanna loose power and not be able to post. Enjoy the suspense. Could sexy times but just around the corner? Maybe. ;P
