Angelus stormed up on to the deck one dark morning grumbling about the lack of good food on the ship as well as many other things that happened to be bothering him. He looked around and saw Gunn standing at the helm, so in one movement he turned and stalked towards him. As he approached Gunn's eyes shifted from the open sea to his friend and captain.
"Anything yet?" Angelus inquired not even looking at Gunn
"No sir, not a thing" was Gunn's reply keeping his eyes in front of him watching the calm blue waters. Angelus sighed, crossed his arms and leaned against the railing, "How long has it been Gunn? How long have we been out here, and not seen a thing?" Angelus asked in a frustrated tone.
"A month and three days Angelus" Gunn replied dropping the formality as well and just talking as friends. "Maybe if we had left more of our enemies alive there would be someone to hunt down?" he continued
Angelus just looked at him for a minute before he commented "Ya, maybe but we did need the money."
Gunn chuckled at this "why so we could buy Farrell? Did we really need another town Angelus?"
"Of course" a voice said. The two men turned and looked at Alexander or Xander as he preferred to be called saying it made him sound more dangerous or something like that, his friends still could not figure that one out but they complied with his wishes anyways.
"Why?" Gunn asked looking at Xander
Xander's eyes gleamed with amusement as he answered "Come on don't you remember the great sights?? Or the many taverns with their ale and lets not forget those wonderful little bar maids!!" At this all three laughed.
"O yes how could I have forgotten, you spent more time in there with Anya then anywhere else!!" Gunn teased.
"HEY I was not in there all that much I.."Xander tried to defend him self but was cut off by a grinning Angelus.
"Settle this later would ya? No matter how much joy I'd get from watching you to go at it for a while we do have work to do!"
"What work? If you haven't noticed there is nothing around us except for mile and miles of water" Gunn said gesturing with his arm to their surroundings "what would you have us do? Clean the deck for the millionth time? Or how about count the never ending pile of gold you got stuck in the cargo hold?"
Angelus had turned from his to friends and was now looking out in the distance "No, wouldn't be letting you filth touch my gold!" He replied in a half joking manner, turning his head to look at them and then back to the water before continuing "How about we load the cannons, boys, looks like we finally have some company!" and with that he turned and walked towards the bow of the ship, pulling out his scope from his belt to get a closer look at the distant ship.
Looking at it, he saw that it was the Sea Goblin and would be an easy fight with the Hell's Demon coming out on top like always. Angelus ordered his men to hurry and load all the cannons so that they could take the ship by surprise hopefully. As soon as they were in firing range Angelus ordered the first shot, it when up and over the Goblin and landed just on the other side of the ship. A series of shouts went up from the ship and soon Angelus's ship was also being fired upon.
Angelus had Gunn pull the ship up along side the Sea Goblin and soon his crew had hooked the two ships together with hooks and ropes and pulled them as close together as they could so as to disable the opposing ships cannons. Once they were close enough Angelus and his men quickly boarded the Sea Goblin and the battle had now turned to hand-to-hand and sword-to- sword.
Down below deck a small blond figure was chained to a center post, at the sounds of the fight she raised her head and looked at the deck above her "Just Great" she muttered sarcastically, just as the hatch flew open and someone started below.
