You guys remember when you were on that boat and you had to go to find all the characters one by one each time switching characters until you went to Rose and The Queen Fury hit the ghostship? Well this chapter is going to be somewhat like that. I know I have already had 10 chapters but I am really just going thru a lot of character development. This story is gonna be real long. I mean Snap has to unite all the Dragoons before the real trouble can begin.
Enough of my rambles. Here is chapter 10 of The New Crisis.
****************************************************************************
Snap lays back on one of the bunk beds on the Quenn Fury 2 sleeping, or trying to. He was having his usual dream about the death of his father. Dart was in the same place he always stays on boats, the control room. Commodore Puler is asking him about the three new people that are traveling with him. Rose is in the engine room. She is thinking about something. Shana is on the bed on top of Snap's. And Leena is across the room from Snap on the couch. She is watching Shana's everymove. As Shana is to her. Zeig is on top of the control room in the lookout tower.
The second Queen Fury is much more advanced then the first, thanks to some wingly engineers. They had designed the ship to be more powerful and less fuel consuming. They had also put canons, very similar to Dart's Divine Canon, in many different spots through out the ship. The spots had been planned to be able to protect all sides at once.
Dart gets tired of the control room and decides to look for Snap. He walks to the front of the ship and down into the engine room. There he finds Rose.
Dart: Rose, have you seen Snap?
Rose jumps. She is suprised to see that anybody would come down here and find her.
Rose: I think he is with Zeig in the lookout tower.
Dart: Thanks. What are you thinking about?
Rose: Oh nothing.
Dart: You know you can tell me. I won't tell anyone.
Rose: NOTHING! OK?
Dart: Sure.
Dart leaves and walks to the control room, then goes up the ladder to the lookout tower. There he finds Zeig alone.
Dart: Dad, have you seen Snap?
Zeig: I think he would be with Leena and Shana. He might not be following them but then they would follow him.
Dart: Yeah you're right. Thanks, Dad.
Zeig: You're welcome, son.
Dart leaves the lookout tower and the control room and heads for the kitchen. Leena and Shana said they would cook for the group tonight, but when Dart gets to the kitchen he only sees the head cook.
Dart: Have you seen my friend? The one with platinum hair?
Cook: No now leave here, you are disturbing the harmony I need to cook my best!
Dart: OK. Sheesh. What a grouch.
Dart leaves and decides to sleep then find Snap when he gets up. He heads for the bunks. When he arrives he sees Shana and Leena.
Dart: Have you two seen Snap?
Shana and Leena: He went to take a shower.
Dart: Thanks, ladies.
Dart goes to the shower room and knocks on the door of the only closed booth.
Dart: Hey Snap, is that you?
Snap answers from the inside.
Snap: Yeah. I'll be done in a minute.
Dart: Ok, I'll meet you in the cafe.
Snap: Ok.
Dart leaves for the cafe. Snap gets done with his shower and gets dressed. Then he also heads for the cafe. When he gets there Dart is at a table chewing on some rough jerky. Snap sits down across from him and signals for the waiter. The waiter comes over and hands Snap a menu full of things only a sailor would eat.
Snap reads over the menu then gives it back to the waiter.
Snap: I'll have some jerky and an orange.
The waiter leaves to get snap's food.
Snap: Well what did you want to see me for, Dart?
Dart: Just bored silly and knew I could count on you to make the day more exciting.
Snap: How would I do that?
Dart: Sword practice.
Snap: Oh, You want me to beat the crap out of you again.
Dart: Better than listening to Commodore Puler's stories of the mighty sea.
Snap: Well I'll fight you on the deck as soon as I get done eating.
Dart: Cool. I warn you this jerky is super tough.
Snap: Good, That is the way I like it.
The waiter comes back with a large plate of jerky and an orange. He lays the plate in front of Snap.
Waiter: Here you go, Sir.
Snap: Thanks.
The waiter leaves again.
Snap: Why is this Kongol in the Home Of Gigantos anyway?
Dart: He and Haschel are rebuilding it to be a shrine to all the dead gigantos heros.
Snap: Haschel? He is the Violet Dragoon is he not?
Dart: Yeah he is. He is also Master of the Rogue School of Martial Arts.
Snap: Why is he with Kongol?
Dart: After our journey they became best friends.
Snap: I see.
Dart: I will meet you on the deck in about a half hour.
Snap: Ok.
Dart left while Snap finishes eating. When he is done he chooses to see Zeig. He goes to the engine room and finds Rose.
Snap: Have you seen Zeig?
Rose: He is in the lookout tower. Dart was looking for you earlier.
Snap: He found me.
Rose: Oh.
Snap leaves and walks to the lookout tower. Rose was right. Zeig is standing there looking out at the water.
Snap: Nice view.
Zeig: Yeah it is.
Snap: Whatya thinkin about.
Zeig: Not much. Just getting used to this young body.
Snap: Hmm. Do you like being young again?
Zeig: Yes. Or in some ways.
Snap: What don't you like about it?
Zeig: It doesn't seem right for me to look this young and be Dart's father.
Snap: As long as you know you are and he knows you are who cares what others know or think they know.
Zeig: I was thinking of telling them I am Dart's older brother.
Snap: Ok then. I gotta go practice with your younger brother. See ya.
Zeig: Good bye and don't beat him too much.
Snap: Ok.
Snap leaves and heads for the deck where Dart is waiting.
Snap: Hey, Are you ready?
Dart: Yeah. You?
Snap: Yeah, let's go.
They commence sparring. Blurs of red and orange are all we can see. When they finish Snap has his sword at Dart's throat. Both are sweating alot.
Snap: Had enough?
Dart: Yeah. You win.
