Jay was the first to react to the screams, walking over to the window and checking what was going on.
"Hey! That's our ship!"The others raised an eyebrow and joined him by the window.
"With Pirates?" Lloyd noted as he saw the people on the deck. And low and behold the kid was right. A bunch of Pirates were having fun stealing everything they could and terrorizing the people out on the streets.
"But pirates haven't been around for centuries." Cole stated giving both his girlfriend and Sensei a confused look, both of them nodded.
"I sense Lord Garmadon is behind this." Zane stated.
"Not like we have any other candidates." Calliope deadpanned as she crossed her arms. "Why can't we ever have a normal day?"
Cole snickered as he and the other boys turned to go outside and deal with the situation. "I don't think a normal day is part of our job description." He grinned with a wink that didn't go unnoticed by Sensei and Kai.
As the boys tried to catch up to the flying ship Calli took to the roofs, catching up with the slow ship in no-time. Though it seemed someone had actually passed her.
Dareth's screams could be heard all the way in Ignacia.
"Damn it." The redhead hissed and took a leap of faith grabbing one of the ropes that swung off the edge and managed to climb to the edge of the deck, still hidden under the plank. She could hear the the pirates laugh as they taunted the man.
"Who here wants to see him splat?" She could hear the captain ask. The other pirates cheered in response, throwing their weapons up in the air.
Calli cursed under her breath as the plank moved with every step they forced Dareth to make. She couldn't just grab him now, it would do more bad then good.
"Who wants to see him live." Her head snapped up as she recognized the voice of Jay in the midst of the pirates.
Though it didn't deter the pirates. As the captain pushed the man further, Calli noticed something in the corner of her eyes and a plan formed into her head.
As Dareth was pleading for live with his toes over the edge she reacted, grabbing his ankle and swinging him away just as the captain pushed him very the edge.
Dareth screamed as he flew trough the air. Shouting until he noticed something had caught him.
"Woo-Hoo." Lloyd cheered from atop the ultra dragon. "Nice throw!"
Calli gave him a thumbs up and jumped onto the deck. Using the confusion of the pirates to her advantage.
"Nice of you to- what in the name of god are you wearing." Jay sputtered as he saw the girl's attire. The others also did a quick double take only for most of them to quickly avert their gaze
Calli just rolled her eyes. "I don't have the ability to change like ya all do." She was only wearing the armored corset she usually wore under her usual outfit, lacking any other armor to the neck, arms and anything just above her chest. "So It was this or one of those Gi's laying around the Dojo and no way I'm touching those."
Jay just huffed as she jumped up, climbing onto the mast to get an overview, and to see Jay break a gumball machine. Tossing everyone down to the ground, even the others.
"Jay!" She could hear Cole reprimand from behind her.
Beneath her a pirate had gotten up and readied himself to attack Zane.
"Not on my watch." She hissed as she swung down like a kid on the monkey-bars, planting her heels in the back of his head, knocking the pirate out cold and landing next to him with a graceful landing, though she quickly jumped back onto the mast, once again getting the higher ground.
Meanwhile Kai was trying to get Lloyd out of the scenario, putting the kid into a barrel. Lloyd managed to get back on his feet, the heavy wooden barrel now obscuring his vision, and stumbled about, knocking Kai straight over the edge.
Calliope dashed to the other side of the mast to see if he was alright and was glad to see him dangling off the anchor.
With her guard lowered she noticed the knifes coming her way deploying her shield too late and losing her balance.
Though she crashed into another pirate, a third one was on her in no time.
"Why don'cha keep out of this, Lassie?" He gave her a grin. "Pirates don't fight fair, even against a woman."
Calli hissed as her back was against the mast. She could feel the heat of his sword radiating on her neck, despite this, she managed to crack a Cheshire grin.
"Then I guess ye've never fought against a woman." She grinned and quickly pushed her knee into the pirate's groin, making him double over, enabling her to plant her elbow in his neck, knocking him out. "Cuz we don't fight fair either." She grinned at her handiwork before a small, bright green tornado pushed the knocked out pirate away.
Lloyd cheered as he managed to skid to a stop. "I did it." He exclaimed. "I did spinjitzu for the first time."
"That's nice kid but could ye help Kai up, I'm gonna help the others." Calli ordered as she knifed another pirate down.
"Aye, aye!"
As Calli used one of the ropes to get higher up, the kid quickly pulled the switch and helped the red ninja back up the ship. The guy quickly thanked Lloyd and then went back into the fray, backing up a surrounded Jay. Cole and Zane were still trying to fight off a group of five pirates, but the odds weren't in their favor. With both of them having a weapon disadvantage, with Zane missing the space to use his to his adventure and Cole actually having the range, to much of it, and but being on the lower end for the pirates quicker reactions.
Calliope was just a few feet away from them, stuck against three of them, though faring a lot better. She'd stolen a sword from one of the other pirates and kept blocking and moving, making sure never to be surrounded.
She had to admit that going in dressed as she was wasn't the smartest idea in hindsight, especially with her weakness.
She parried another attack and kicked the pirate away from her and into his buddy.
The third however dodged his friends and went in for another attack, though it wasn't his blade that she ended up parrying.
"Leave the girl to me."
Instead she met the grin of who could only be the captain, going from his more authoritarian clothes and the large hat with the classic red pirate feather, though the eyepatch was the more obvious giveaway.
"Captain." She greeted him with fake courtesy as she twirled around him to free herself from the hold he had on her and her sword.
The captain flashed her a smile, one that really crept her out, and replied in the same tone, "M'lady."
The redhead scoffed as she swung her blade low. The pirate saw it coming and jumped over it with precision and then went in for an attack himself, jabbing his blade forward. It missed her by only a few inches.
Calliope ducked under the blade as the Captain went in for another attack, pinning her against the edge of the ship. The girl reacted, using a shield to push him away, giving her enough space to counter attacked as she circled him, twirling the sword once in her hand. It was clear the captain possessed better skills then his crew, over from those few seconds she could tell as such.
The captain quickly recovered and quickly went in for yet another strike, though as she blocked this time, he kicked her in the stomach, sending her on her back and only just managing to block a quick strike after.
Her hand was digging into the blade, burning her left hand as she felt the sharp edge cut deeper into her hand.
At the same time she heard Kai shout something to Lloyd. The next thing she noticed was a loud crash.
The captain laughed, his sword still against the girls throat. "You lose, Pajama people." He gloated as the crew that wasn't knocked out, (or majorly injured thanks to the redhead) moved in on the Ninja, now trapped under the broken mast. "Now you're walking the plank. "Now you're walking the plank."
Now with his back half turned to her, Calli slowly and silently moved her hand to get to her daggers as the familiar sound of thrusters filled the air.
A few seconds later, the Samurai X mech landed on the deck and put the mast back in it's place, freeing the Ninja, who directly went in for another round.
Calli did the same, knocking away the sword and going in with her daggers.
With the help of Nya, the pirates had been defeated with relative ease. The group watched as the police (and ambulance) carried off the pirates.
"Good work, team." One of the agents praised.
Kai laughed and put and arm around Lloyd's shoulder. "Don't forget to include this guy."
"That your ship?"
Jay nodded but before he could from the sentence as the Bounty took to the air with Lord Garmadon at the wheel. "You snooze, you Lose." He all but cackled.
Lloyd shouted out to his father and the two shared a look.
"You're becoming stronger, son. But you'll never be able to defeat me. Give up, before it's too late." And with that he flew off.
"Great." Jay sighed. "Lord Garmadon is back, and now he's got our ship."
Cole snickered and pat his friend of the back. "At least we've got this little guy."
"Ye really don't need to come with." Calli sighed as Cole took her bag from her.
"So you've said, but I want to, besides you still owe me that date."
The redhead felt her cheeks heat up somewhat and pushed her hair behind her ears, being only able to mutter a "Thanks."
They arrived at the store within a few minutes. "I'll just drop this off for a minute." Cole nodded and gave her the bag back.
"Hey guys." She called out as she stepped into the door.
She was greeted by the others in chorus.
"What'ya got Call?" Dante called out from his place next to Lee.
The girl held up her notebook. "Chocolates." She answered sarcastically with a roll of her eyes.
"Thanks." Lee told her as he flipped trough the book. "Some people have been getting impatient.
Calli giggled as Dante went into protests. "I'd imagine." She snickered. "Well I'd love to chat but I've got other plans for tonight."
Saoirse smiled, quickly getting the hint in the redheads tone. "You go and have fun, well all you if we have any questions."
Calli just smiled and called a goodbye as she hurried back out.
She gave Cole a smile as he grabbed her hand. "Well, Let's finally go on that date."
wooh that fightscene, that was fun to write. i listened to he's a pirate from pirates of the caribbean during the whole scene. its also shows Calli's fighting style. she's overal more violent then the boys and a lot more flexible with her fighting style.
Anyhow, onto the reviews.
MightShipper: thanks for the birthday wishes.
Damiel: Well the short answer is no, the long answer however is longer. basically she's not human and thus has trouble pronouncing certain things. for example the "ou" in the word "you." the same would be for the word "two." however i toned it down because her dialogue would become unreadable. a great example for that would be her being unable to pronounce the "T" at the ends of words, but i still write them in her dialogue.
Pappilie: glad you like her so much ;D. im curious about your theory though. also sorry for the wierd response on your comment on the drawing on calli. i had seriously no idea what to answer on it.
Well, i hope you enjoy and i'll see you in the next chapter!
