Mutants of the Caribbean
Scene Seventeen: Fast Ships And Faster Monkeys
"Let loose all the sails." Logan barked.
"Like, what's happening?" Kitty asked noting a slight note of panic in Logan's voice and an added urgency in the crews movements as they set to their task.
"The Black Pearl is gaining on us." Mystique informed the younger girl darkly.
Kitty could see the Black Pearl now in the distance it seemed an eerie mist trailed it. "This is, like, the fastest ship in the Caribbean." She told herself for reassurance.
"You can tell them that after they've caught us." Mystique growled as she gripped the helm like there was no tomorrow which in her mind there might just not be.
Kitty looked around wildly trying to find some means of escape, then she spotted a reef conected to a small chain of islands. "Can't we, like, lose them amongst the reef?" She asked.
"Ya might be on to somethin' there Half-Pint." Logan said rubbing his chin, he looked up at Mystique for her approval.
"Lighten the ship, you laggards." Mystique yelled at the crew as they began throwing stuff overboard in an attempt to gain speed. It seemed their last hope would be to navigate through the reefs and make a flat run on the other side before the Black Pearl could follow them through.

Mean while below the deck of the Black Pearl Sabertooth had just thrown Toad into the brig. Toad frowned as he noticed the lower decks of his ship were slightly flooded. "You guys should really take better care of stuff that ain't yours, yo?" Sure enough he found a hole in the side of his ship big enough to put a hand through, but high enough up to only allow water to enter when the waves were choppy. For now it made for a good peephole to view the battle.
Above him, Toad could hear Magneto giving orders, "Run out the guns! Prepare for battle! Raise the flag and run out the sweeps!" At his last command several sets of oars emerged from the side of the Black Pearl.

Back on the Interceptor Lance watched as the rowers pushed the Black Pearl forwards even faster. "We're gonna need that." Lance muttered referring to a cannon that one of his shipmates was about to throw over.
"Remind me again why we were listening to her?" Mystique hissed as she realized their was no way they were going to make it to the reefs before the Black Pearl caught up with them.
"They wanna fight," Logan growled. "we'll givem a fight. Load the cannons!"
"With what?" Mystique asked angrily noting that all the cannonball's had been thrown overboard.
"Anything we have left." Lance told them with a certain air of desperation in his voice.
Logan just shook his head. "The Pearl will sink us without given us a target." He sighed resigning himself over to fate.
"Like, lower the anchor on the right!" Kitty burst in, she paused for a moment while everyone stared. "Like, starboard sorry."
"They'll be surprised, that's for sure." Lance said not really grasping what Kitty had planned, but he held faith in her.
"You're a fool, girl." Mystique bellowed at Kitty, receiving a glare from Lance. "You both are." She admonished him.
Logan's sullen gaze cracked into an almost insane smile. "Fools like Toad!" He shouted, "Lower the Starboard anchor!" The anchor man looked at Logan as if he were crazy, which was actually quite debatable at the moment. "Do it, bub, or we'll load you in the cannon!" Logan ordered and received no further questioning.
"Let go!" Kitty cried out excitedly as the Interceptor's bow swung around cutting off the Black Pearl, so it had to pull hard to Port to prevent a head on collision.
"Steady. . . Now!" Lance shouted as the two ships prepared to open fire.
They could here Magneto give the command first on the Black Pearl, "Fire!" sending the first cannonballs across the Interceptor's deck.
"Like, Fire!" Kitty half screamed as the crew began shooting off whatever items were still available.
Several pieces of silverware blasted a hole in the side of the Black Pearl barely missing Toad. "Stop blowin' holes in my ship!" He yelled angrily before realizing that a large knife had cut through the brig's lock freeing him.

"We need another idea, Half-Pint." Logan shouted over the cannon fire.
"Like, your turn." Kitty told him, completely out of ideas.
"We'll give them her." Mystique insisted grabbing Kitty by the arm.
"They're not after her." Lance informed Mystique through gritted teeth.
"The medallion!" Kitty gasped, "It's still below deck." Lance nodded and took off to retrieve the medallion.

Meanwhile on the Black Pearl Toad had crept up onto the main deck where he could see Magneto still giving out orders. "Prepare for battle. Mastermind, Havok, mind the cannons. Pietro!"
In a split second the lithe young mutant was at Magneto's side. "Yes, Captain."
"Get me that medallion." Magneto instructed.
Pietro gave a quick salute and then dashed across the deck. Toad watched him swing across onto the Interceptor and leapt after him, but when he landed he had lost sight of the speed demon.
"Toad!" Logan exclaimed when he saw the young Captain was alive and well.
"Where's the medallion?" Toad asked urgently.
"Like, you hood!" Kitty yelled as she realized Toad was more concerned about that stupid scrap of metal that had gotten them all into this mess than his own crews well being. She attempted to slap him, but he caught her by the wrist with a sly smile.
"And where is Avalanche?" Toad asked cooly as he released her from his grip.
"Lance. . ." Kitty said almost as if she were waking up from a daze. A worried look crossed her face as she wondered why he wasn't back yet. Without any further thought she phased below deck to find Lance beaten, bound and gagged. "Lance!" She cried out as she removed his gag.
"Look out!" Lance cried but it was too late. Quicksilver had snuck up behind her and knocked her unconscious. He reapplied Lance's gag then swung Kitty over his shoulder. Pietro paused for a second to dangle the medallion in front of Lance's face. "Oh, sorry, looks like my hands are full. Guess you'll just have to stay here and watch the ship sink. Once in a life time experience, you know, I hear it's to die for!" Pietro quipped before he zipped back to Magneto.
"Quicksilver!" Toad yelled as he leapt out of the way of an oncoming cannonball. He jumped back onto the Black Pearl and landed right in front of Magneto.
"Thank you." Magneto said admiring the medallion Pietro had just stolen.
"Your welcome." Toad commented.
"Not you," Magneto growled, "Pietro." He said motioning to the boy that was still holding Kitty's limp form. "Brothers, our hope is restored!" Magneto told his crew holding up the medallion for all to see. Toad saw that his entire new crew had been captured and would probably soon be killed. For the first time since he first lost the Black Pearl he felt foolish.
