'Right, I don't know about you but I am in need of some excitement' She shouted at her crew who cheered in agreement.
'We'll circle the island and see what this place has to offer, and if we find that ship, we shall man the cannons and sharpen our swords' Another cheer.
As they pulled away from the town several locals came to watch, giving each other shrugs and muttering about the loss of another ship in neverland waters.

Rosette tucked her hair up into her tricorn and readied her bandanna. She felt the rush of anticipation course through her as they gained speed. At the wheel she watched her men release the sails and prepare the ship for any eventuality. Everyone was glad to be moving again.
'Anything?'
'Not yet, I asked in the tavern where the ship made berth but there was only a mutter about a mermaid bay or something like that'
'That's all we need...ageless children, natives and mermaids...might as well add fairies' She said holding the wheel steady.

As it was, on the other side of the island, hoisting the anchor and lowering it's sails the Jolly Rodger was waking up.
'Another fine day Smee'
'Aye captain, Pan is in high spirits still'
Hook glared at his bosun 'so it would seem, the wind has picked up too, something is happening' He narrowed his eyes and pulled out his spyglass.
He scanned the island but the canopy was still, It was still early.

'SHIP AHEAD' Came a cry from the nest and all heads turned. Hook swung his spyglass in the direction pointed out and sure enough, coming around the side of the island was another ship.
'Blast, they must have come through an aurora...It has been a while since the last one'
'the men will be pleased, they like a good sea battle...makes a change from the natives and Pan' Smee said calmly.
'Aye Smee, I do relish a good maritime tryst' He looked at the ship again. 'She's flying a red flag, excellent' He felt his blood rush and the blue of his iris's began to stain purple.
'ALL HANDS MEN, SHE FLIES A RED FLAG! LET'S SHOW THOSE DOGS WHAT WE NEVERLAND PIRATES CARE MADE OF'
A cry went up and the ship came to life. Cannons were readied, swords and pistols were checked and stocked. Hook took the wheel and directed the ship towards their oncoming opponent.
At the first sound of canon fire purple became red. Birds scattered from the canopies as the battle echoed in the early light. A slightly larger figure, bigger than a bird shot up from the trees and hovered watching.

Hook remained at the helm watching the chaos below. The moment the ships aligned there was a flurry of swinging ropes and the two crews collided. His red eyes surveying the scene eagerly before his bloodlust became too much, his first opponent landed before him and he cut him down swiftly and then joined in the fray.
Rosette watched, she had spotted the captain in his crimson coat and waited. He was indeed fierce as she was man after man fall at his blade. Then she say Luca clash blades with him and her stomach clenched. She wasn't prepared to let her first mate fall yet.

Hook Laughed as he batted with the young pirate. His opponent just managed to parry his heavy blows but wasn't prepared to the kick to the chest that sent him sprawling. Before Hook could step forward out of the corner of his eyes he saw a figure swing in and somersault, landing heavily before him.
'Ah, the captain about time' He said and bowed. He looked the man over in his black tricorn and embroidered bandanna covering his face, odd. 'have at thee'

They fell into step. Luca watched with awe as Rosette parried and pounced meeting the captains blows.

Hook gritted his teeth, his enemy was good, very good. He upped his game and Rosette matched him.
Many of the crew began to break apart and form a ring around the two sparring captains, leaving the fate of the battle to the two.
Rosette gritted her teeth and pulled back aiming a well timed kick in Hooks gut sending him stepping back against the mast, she quickly drew her dagger and launched it at him. It narrowly missed his head embedding itself in the wood.
'ad form' He growled and rushed forward.

The two continued, their crews cheering them on in the heated battle.
Finally Hook had enough, in a swift manouevre he disarmed her and trapped one arm against her back pushing her up against the mast Hook against her throat, at the same time she pinned his sword arm wrapping her legs about him and pulling the dagger from the mast she held it against his chin.
'Stalemate' He said glaring at the green eyes before him. Only their heavy breathing could be heard. He paused and pulled back slightly his glare changing to a confused look, he pulled the bandanna down and knocked her hat away. His eyes suddenly drained and Piercing blue met pierce green.
'Rose?' He whispered
'James?' She looked at him wide eyed.
Neither moved, silence descended over the battlefield for what seem like minutes. The two remained entangled in their stalemate before Hook lowered his hook and she lowered her dagger. She dropped her legs and the two parted.
'You could have killed me' she said said breaking the silence suddenly.
Hook frowned. 'How was I supposed to know it was you hidden under all that' He gestured to her head with his Hook, 'You were equally likely to have sliced my throat' He added angrily.
She glared at him.
There was much confusion among the two crews at their captains and that they both clearly knew each other.
Hook regained his composure and looked about him, 'Return to your ship, take your wounded' He directed at rosettes crew who looked to her but she continued to glare furiously at Hook. They looked about and slowly jumped and swung back over. 'The rest of you begin clearing this up. I have need to speak to the captain in my cabin' He looked back at her, finding her still glaring arms crossed. Stepping aside he put his arm out, 'If you would be so kind'
She dropped her arms and stormed passed him through the door and into an all to familiar room.
