Returning Home

Kai was glad that he was returning home. He enjoyed the small journey, but Port Phoenix was calling him back.

However, when they docked at Port Sesame, Kai demanded to know what was going on.

"I thought you said you were taking us home." Kai hissed. Beka raised an eyebrow at him, as he pounded his fist on the wooden table. All six of them were in the cabin, as the crew began to unload.

"Yeah, that was before someone pointed out how we are still wanted by your grandfather. We set one foot on your port and we're dead." Beka replied coolly.

"So how are we going to get back home?" Tala questioned. Kierra smirked.

"I have a friend here who owns me a favor. He'll take you, lover-boy and Voltaire back to your port." She replied. Wolborg and Inouva stared at each other, as if to ay goodbye to each other.

"So, I guess this goodbye then." Kai muttered. Mokona jumped onto Beka's shoulder.

"Yeah. Gonna miss that smart mouth of yours." She joked. Beka held out her hand, to which Kai shook. "Do us a favor. Drop the law against the pirates, and drop us a line to when the old git is gonna get hanged." She smiled.

Kai nodded his head before looking at his twin sister who had Ruby sitting on her lap.

"Are you going to stay here or live with us at Port Phoenix?" he asked her.

"Maybe. For the moment I will stay here because of the law, and then I might stay with you when we come to watch grandfather's hanging." Cathy replied.

"What about me?" Ruby asked looking from Cathy to Kai then back to Cathy again.

"I think it's best if you go with Kai and Tala to Port Phoenix, Ruby." Cathy said as she looked down at her as Kai agreed.

"Okay." Ruby said.

"Who is this friend anyway?" Tala questioned.

"His name is Captain Aaron, he owns The Red Pearl and he will take you back." Kierra said.

"Sir! I see a ship!"

Captain Hawkins turned to look out to sea. Sure enough there was a ship sailing towards them. "Is it Master Boris?" Captain Hawkins questioned. One of the guards shrugged.

"I'm not sure sir. I can't see any sign of him." He informed. Captain Hawkins chewed his lip, thinking over his next move.

"Everyone down to the docks. We will greet this ship just to make sure." He ordered.

As "The Red Pearl" docked, the guards all had a shock. Kai waited till the walkway was dropped down before walking down to the dock. "Master Kai!!!! It's good to see you safe sir." Captain Hawkins stated.

"Captain. I want you to arrest my grandfather." Kai ordered, as Tala and Ruby trailed behind him. Wolborg was not too far behind. Captain Hawkins stared at him in shock.

"Arrest Governor Voltaire? But why?" he asked. Kai stopped and turned to face the captain.

"Are you questioning my orders?" he hissed lowly. Captain Hawkins gulped and shook his head.

"No sir. It's just the public would want to know why their Governor was arrested." He replied. Tala glanced at Kai. He had feared this part of the plan.

"My grandfather has tried on several attempts to kill both me and Tala and my twin sister. He has also admitted to killing three innocent sailors and his daughter. For that, I find him unfit to be Governor and therefore I will be taking over. Am I understood?" Kai responded. Captain Hawkins nodded his head.

"Yes sir." He muttered, and walked away. Tala let out a breath that he had been holding onto.

"That went better then I thought." He whispered. Kai smiled.

"I'm a better liar then you are my beloved Red." He replied. Tala frowned slightly.

"That's what worries me." He grumbled as they watched Ruby skip about them, trying to look at everything as they walked along.

"I do actually miss those two." Kierra said suddenly, as she sat with Beka and Cathy in 'Balto's Crazy Tavren'. A pub they always go to when they want to get a drink.

Beka looked over her glass, staring at her friend in a drunken haze. "Really? Hic!" Beka asked, before taking a sip of her drink.

"Things seemed Hic! A whole lot fun with them around." Kierra grumbled, watching two men wrestle over something. Beka nodded her head, feeling her head swim.

"I guess." She muttered. "Hey!!!! When Voltaire gets hung they'll invite us. I know they will." She grinned. Kierra and Cathy grinned back.

"I can't wait Hic! To see that..." Cathy piped up.

"Shall we?" Cathy asked, pointing to a fight that was about to begin. Beka and Kierra began to giggle.

"We shall!!!!" Beka and Kierra answered, as the three of them joined the fight.
