"Turn hard to starboard! Load the." Captain Heero Yuy was interupted when a cannonball whizzed by him. The order didn't need to be finished, the crew already had the guns loaded.
The Invader and the Shadow Mistress soon were aligned and Heero yelled for his crew to fire. The battle had begun.
"Why hello, Mr Yuy. How are you fairing?" Asked a female voice behind him. Heero growled and whirled around. A sword was pointed at his face. "Temper, temper, Mr Yuy."
Heero relaxed and drew his own sword, "Well, Miss Aubrey, is it a sword fight you want?" Alex smirked and nodded. "Than it's a fight you shall get." With that Heero lunged. Alex took three steps backwared, then parred and pushed Heero back. This continued for a bit.
"Mr. Yuy are you trying to bore me to death? Shall we go higher and test your balance?" Alex laughed and climbed up the Main Mast[1]. Heero growled and followed Alex to the Main Royal Yard.[2] " Here, Mr. Yuy, I'm right here." He lunged for her, and she carefully stepped back.
"You are starting to get on my last nerve, pirate."
"I am, am I? Well then let us end this battle, shall we. It was not my original intention to fight you. I am after Le Tresor Des Ombres."[3]
The two fell silent as they concentrated on killing each other, and not falling. Below them the crews of both ships were watching the fight. Several minutes later.
"Well, Mr. Yuy. I am already off schedule. This fight must end." With that Alex dropped to a crouch and kicked Heero's feet from under him.
"Wh.What?" He called as he lost his balance and fell. He was caught by his first mate, 1st Leftenant Chang Wufei. Alex executed perfect flips and jumps to the main deck. "You completely ignored the rules of engagement!" Commander Duo Maxwell yelled at her. "Pirate." She replied in a singsong voice, "Come now men, I do believe we've done enough to the Invader for today. And you, Royal Navy, You had best not try to stop us. Your ship has sustained too much damage, and I'd hate to see such a fine crew go to the Davy Jones."
Alex smiled and she and her crew returned to the Shadow Mistress, they guns out and ready to fire at anyone who dared to stop them. "Good day to you, Mr. Yuy." Alex shouted and waved, "Maybe we can try again when the Invader is in seaworthy condition."
Heero jumped up, "Well, why aren't we stopping that woman?" Leftenant Commander Trowa Barton replied, "We couldn't, they did a number on our guns, The rudder chain is gone, our sails.We must find a place to land and repair the Invader before we pursue her." [4]"That is bloody good pirate." Concluded 2nd Leftenant Quatre Winner. "So it would seem," mused Heero, "So it would seem."
"That was fun! I know you boys would have enjoyed doing even more damage, but we will get another chance. Right now, we must get to that treasure! Now, back to work, all of you!"
"Your too kind to them." Zechs, her first mate, said.
"That may be, but I will not fall for the same bloody tricks that that pirate.Sparrow fell for. Let's splice the main brace, shall we?" [5] Alex tossed him a bottle of rum.
"I hope you know what you're doing."
"Have I ever failed you before?"
"Yes," Zechs said, and fell silent at a glance of her expression.
"Get out of my sight, I do not particularly want to see your face right now." Zechs backed away from Alex and quickly left her cabin.

[1] The Main Mast would be the mast on the bridge, or the Quarterdeck
[2] Main Royal Yard- The wooden pole like thing (a yard) sticking out from either end of the mast, this one is the highest on on the main mast. The Main Mast is the highest mast on a ship so it would be really unlikely that a battle would take place here, but this is fiction.

A/N: I'd like to apoligize for the first chappie, the paragraphs got all messed up. ¬.¬ Gomen Nasai. ^_^ Oh and many of you might be wondering why Alex speaks so properly. Easy she was a gentlelady, born to Captain Jack "Lucky Jack" Aubrey and his wife Sophie. She learned to love ships and how to sail from her father, who taught her without him even realizing it. Alex attempted to join the Royal Navy, but despite her expertise in the area the king laughed her off. In the end she learned of Le Tresor Des Ombres and pulled together a crew of good friends and people she picked up from bars, they commandeered a ship and renamed it the Shadow Mistress.
