Mutants of the Caribbean

Scene Six: Fire Explosions And Other Hot Things

Todd was taken to the fort's jail and thrown unceremoniously into a cell. The Pirates in the cell next to him were trying to get the keys to their cell door.

"Come here, boy. Want a nice juicy bone? Come here, come on!" Cain called to a scraggily dog that was holding the cell keys. The dog didn't pay attention to Cain's calls.

"That dog is never gonna move, yo," Todd laughed.

"Excuse me, but I have not resigned myself to the gallows!" Omega yelled at Todd.

Todd laughed and leaned against the wall of his cell to take a nap.

Back at Professor Xavier's house Kitty was getting into bed. "There you go, Miss," Amara said as she put a hot pan under Kitty's covers. "You sure had a rough day!"

"I, like, figured Piotr would propose, but I'm so totally not ready for it," Kitty said, putting down the book she was reading.

"I meant the pirate, it gives me shivers just thinking about it!" Amara said.

"Yeah, it was, like, terrifying.." Kitty said, not sounding like she meant it.

"But the commodore proposed. I know I'd say yes, if that were me that is," Amara thought out loud.

"He's, like, what every woman should dream of marrying," Kitty said.

"But... Lance Alvers is hot!" Amara giggled.



"Amara!" Kitty yelled. The two giggled and Amara left Kitty to read her book in peace.

Xavier and Piotr walked along the wall of the fort together. "Has my daughter given you an answer yet?" Xavier asked.

"No, she has not," Piotr said.

"Well, she has had a very trying day." Xavier comforted him. He looked out at the dark clouds over the ocean. "Ghastly weather, don't you think?"

"Very bleak," Piotr agreed. There was an odd sound that came from a dark object in the harbor.

"What's that?" Xavier asked.

Piotr pushed the Professor to the ground just in time to avoid being hit by the cannonball. "Cannons!" Piotr cried. "Return fire!"

* * * * * * *

From his prison cell, Todd stood up in excitement when he heard the cannon fire. "I know those guns!" He smiled as he looked out his barred window at the harbor. "It's the Pearl..." he purred affectionatly.

"The Black Pearl, huh?" Cain asked. "I've heard stories. She's been preying in ships and settlements for ten years now. Never leaves any survivors."

Todd laughed, "No survivors? Then where all those stories come from, yo?"

Back at Professor Xavier's mansion Kitty heard a knock at the door and ran through the hall that led to the stairs. As she looked down she saw Hank, her butler, going to answer the door. "No!" she screamed. But her yelling didn't help.

As soon as the butler opened the door a bullet shot through his head and he fell to the floor. Kitty screamed and two of the pirates that were now running in noticed her at the top of the stairs.

"Hello, mon ami. Up dere!" Remy called.

"Sheila!" John yelled when he saw who Remy was talking to.

Kitty ran down the hall to her room and ran into Amara. "Miss Pryde, they've come to kidnap you!" Amara yelled.

"Like, no way?" Kitty yelled back.

"You're the Professor's daughter!" Amara answered.

Kitty gasped and grabbed Amara's shoulders. "Like, they haven't seen you yet. Hide and the first chance you get, run to the fort." Amara nodded and ran off.

Kitty ran the other way and found John standing in her doorway. She screamed and ran. As she passed her bed she grabbed her hot pan and waited for John to run by.

"Gotcha!" John yelled as he ran by and grabbed Kitty's arm. When he did she pulled the lever and dumped hot coals onto John's face. "Crikey, that's hot!" He paused, grinning. "I like it!"

Kitty screamed and ran into the dinning room. She grabbed candelabra to bar the door and tried to get a decorative sword off of the wall. Much to her disappointment she found that sword wouldn't come off of the shield it was mounted to, so she ran and hid in a closet.

Remy and John knocked the door open and started looking around the room for Kitty. "Com'on!" Remy called. "Remy know yo're here, Chere."

"Chere!" John repeated as he laughed.

"Come out. Remy promise 'e don' wanna hurt yo'. We will find yo', Chere. Dey gold calls to us." Kitty looked down at the gold medallion around her neck.

"Gold calls..." John repeated.

Remy looked down at the rug in front of the closet door, that was folded over. He walked toward the closet and looked through the crack. "Hello, Chere." He said, as he pulled the closet door open.

"Parley!" Kitty squeaked when the door opened.

"What?" John asked.

"I invoke the right of Parley. According to the code of the Brotherhood of Mutants, set down by the Pirates En Sabah Nuhr and Nathaniel Essex, you have to, like, take me to see your Captain." Kitty explained.

"Remy knows dey code," Remy growled.

"Then you know you, like, can't hurt me until the Parley is complete," Kitty cried.

"Burn the code, mate!" John yelled in rebellion.

"She wan' to go to mon Capitaine, den Chere will go to mon Capitaine," Remy said, smiling at Kitty. Kitty shivered as she was led away by Remy and John.

Out on the streets Lance was trying to help fight the pirates that had stormed the port. One pirate cornered Lance against the window of a shop. He held his sword against Lance's neck. "Say goodbye, laddie!" Legion, the pirate, yelled.

Just then a cannon shot through the top of the shop and knocked the sign loose. The sign fell and knocked Legion out. Lance stepped aside and smiled. "Goodbye."

As Remy led Kitty through the streets she stopped. "Com'on!" Remy yelled.

"Lance!" Kitty called out as she noticed Lance fighting in the street. Lance looked up and saw Kitty being led away by the pirates. "Kitty!"

Tabby, the pirate, walked up and knocked Lance uncoscious. "Outta my way, scum!"

Next Chapter: Like Parley

Teaser: Welcome to the Black Pearl...You must be this tall to ride.

Reviewers Only Test: I'm probably the one of the few that know this, but in the original screen play Jack was supposed to place the chain in the embers of the furnace making them easier to break with a hammer. The screen play also wanted to show that his wrists were badly blistered and burned, but this is a Disney movie so they decided to burn the donkey instead.

In short, no one got the last test. Next up: What does Kitty write on the back of Scott's head in "The Siren Stylists" First one to answer correctly wins. Prize same as last chapter.

Review Responses:

Rogue and Wanda will be making a brief appearance, there just arn't that many female parts. You like powers wait until the boat fights.

Now, I'm off to write the next chapter...it has Pietro, I cast him, so ChaosTheory89 shall have to kill me... Half'n'Half and Jess Macphisto will have to finish without me.

~ soon to be: The Late ProFool

Note from Jess: Mmm... Legion.
