Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Wing, but I want Duo. I do own Alexis Aubrey. And the plot, I was inspired by both Pirates of the Caribbean and Master and Commander though.

Alexis Aubrey was her name. Alex to her crew. She was a pirate, and a bloody good one at that. Captain Alexis "Alex" Aubrey of the Shadow Mistress, and at the moment she was being chased by the HMS Invader. The Invader was a fast ship; her captain was the infamous Heero Yuy of the Royal Navy.

"Captain, she's gaining!"

Alex smirked, "Pay the Invader no mind, I do not care if she catches up, I've been meaning to have a little," She paused searching for the right word, "Talk with Yuy. Besides she is not what we're after."

"Aye," replied the first mate.

Alex was a tall thin woman. She wore a loose white shirt tucked into a tight pair of brown leather pants, which in turn were tucked into heeled, black leather boots. Over her shirt was a vest that she always wore unbuttoned. She wore a black bandana with the skull and crossbones on her head; her hair was loosly braided. Around her waist were two belts, one that hugged her slim hips and one that hung over one hip and fell down the other. And of course, no pirate is complete without effects. Attached to her belt was a brand new sword, one that was perfectly balanced with gold in the handle. She stole it at the last port she and her crew had pilfered. Next to the sword was a pistol and several throwing knives and in her boots were two daggers.

Her rival was a Captain Heero Yuy; the captain of the HMS Iinvader. He had been chasing after her for many years.

"Damn her," Heero yelled as he lowered the telescope from his eye. He had been watching Alexis, who had been standing on the bridge of her ship waving to him.

"Captain?" Asked Commander Duo Maxwell.

"How can she just stand there waving like a bloody idiot, and why can't we catch up to her?"

Duo replied, "She does have the lead sir, and from what we can tell, her ship's design allows it to move faster."

Heero sighed. "What are your orders sir?" 1st Leftenant Chang Wufei asked. Heero sighed again and replied, "We'll stick to our present course and take up chase." Wufei repeated the orders. "Wufei, Duo, Trowa, you as well Quatre. We need to meet in my cabin immeidiatly" The four saluted as Heero walked off the bridge. "Leftenant Kushrenada, I leave you in charge while we are gone," Said Heero before he disappeared into his cabin. "Aye, aye, sir!" Trieze said as he saluted.

Alex laughed as she watched Heero storm of the bridge of the Invader through her own telescope. "You are having way too much fun, Alex," Said a man with long blonde, almost, white hair. "You think so, Zechs?" She asked. He nodded, "You never let me have any fun." Alex pouted and yelled out to her crew, "What do you boys say to a battle with the legendary Heero Yuy of the HMS Invader?" The crew cheered. "The crew has spoken Mr. Marquise." He smirked in reply. "Turn hard to starboard, love." She said to Zechs. To the crew, "Load the cannons, and be quick about it!"

The crew quickly reacted to the orders. Alex stared at the invader through her telescope, and laughed as the tallbrown haired officer on the deck jumped and started yelling something. Well, Mr. Yuy, She thought, the long awaited battle has arrived. May the best woman win. Alex laughed at her joke.

"Midshipman Nicols, inform the Captain, that the Shadow Mistress is preparing to attack us!" Yelled Trieze. "Aye, Sir!" Nicols, saluted and ran off.

A few seconds later Midshipman Nicols burst into Heero's cabin. "There had better be a good explanation for this, Midshipman." The captain growled. "There is, Sir. The Shadow mistres has changed course and is heading in for an attack!" Nicols exclaimed. "What?!" Heero roared, and stood up suddenly, slamming his hands on the desk, "Damn her." Duo leaned back in his chair and smirked, "She is a bloody good pirate." "He's right, Captain," Wufei said as he started to get out of his chair. 2nd Leftenant Quatre and and Leftenant Commander Trowa nodded in agreement. "That may be true, but I will make sure that woman and her crew are hanged. Dismissed." "Aye, Sir!" The four crewmates snapped to attention and saluted, as they were heading o the deck Duo muttered, "He's just mad because a woman is outsmarting him." "I heard that!"
