Mutants of the Caribbean
Scene Twenty-two: Bloody Pirates
Commodore Colossus stood in the bow of one of the Dauntless's rowboats waiting to give the order to open up a cross fire at the first sign of the pirates. Soon a single pirate rowboat glided into view.
The X-men took aim, but something wasn't right. "Hold fire." Colossus called to his tense crew as he realized that the two people in the boat were women, perplexed he let them row past.
The two "women" in the row boat sniggered in a very manly way. Below them on the ocean floor the pirates were walking out to the Dauntless; beneath the dark water no one was the wiser.
"Just like what the Greeks did at Troy, mate." Pyro whispered, hiding behind his parasol, "cept they used a wooden horse instead of dresses. Too bad, we could of burned the wooden horse." He fingered the pretty yellow fabric of his dress, "Do you think we could burn the dresses later?"
Remy shrugged slightly as he continued to row the boat

On the Dauntless, Xavier was standing outside of his quarters, where Kitty was locked inside. "Katherine, I just wanted you to know I'm proud of the decision you made earlier." He said to his daughter through the door, "But even a good decision, if made for the wrong reasons, can be the wrong decision."
On the other side of the ship Roberto, had just spotted the rowboat, "Lieutenant?" he called to Scott, who pulled out a telescope to get a closer look.
In the row boat Pyro laughed as he looked over at Roberto and Scott, "Yoo-hoo!" He waved, girlishly. Unknown to the X-Men the real danger was just now climbing up the anchor chains. They boarded silently, the crew was still watching the two mysterious "women" in the boat, Sabretooth crept up behind one of the X-Men and snapped his neck. No one heard him slump to the floor as the pirates quickly killed several more sailors, careful not to draw attention.
Back at the captain's quarters Xavier started wondering why Kitty wasn't answering him. "Katherine?" He knocked on the door, "Are you listening?" He unlocked the door, went inside and found it empty. "Oh, Kitty, what have you done?" He sighed when he found an open window and a missing rowboat.
"Ooh," Pyro laughed as he rocked the row boat and waved at the Dauntless's crew.
"Remy don' like dis." Remy muttered.
"You look good in a dress, mate." Pyro smiled.
"Remy look what?!" Remy growled, before smacking Pyro with one of the oars. Unfortunately for them this revealed the fact that they were both men, and pirates for that matter to the Dauntless's crew.
Realizing they'd been discovered Remy whipped out a card charged it and chucked it at Lieutenant Scott's head. Lucky for the young Lieutenant the Cajun's aim had been slightly off and he only succeeded in blasting off his hat, but the force of the explosion caused him to stumble backwards right into a pirate that had been preparing to slit his throat.
The remaining X-Men immediately activated their powers as did the pirates. They set to fighting, but it soon became apparent that this was a battle the X-Men couldn't win. Even still they intended to hold off their inevitable defeat as long as possible.

Back in the caves Magneto leaned against the chest of gold medallions looking at Toad skeptically. "I must admit, Toad, I thought I had you all figured out, but once again you've surprised me." Magneto stated.
"Me?" Toad laughed, "I'm a liar, you can always trust a liar to lie, yo? It's the honest ones you gotta watch, cause you never know when they're gonna do something," Toad turned and looked at Lance, "Stupid." With that he drew his sword and faced Magneto.
"You're on the edge of the map Toad!" Magneto yelled, drawing his own sword, "Here there be monsters." With that Magneto walked into a strip of moonlight that was shining through an opening in the cave and turned to his skeleton form.

On the Black Pearl Legion sat guarding the prisoners with a table full of food in front of him and had a glowing look on his face like a kid at Christmas. "What should we eat first?" He asked himself, looking over all of the wonderful delicacies in front of him.
Kitty climbed up the anchor and onto the ship where she found Pietro. He smiled at her, took a deep breath, and was about to call to the other pirates, but Kitty acted quickly. She picked up a wooden board that was lying on the deck and smacked Pietro across the face, knocking him into the water.
"What was that?" Legion asked, looking out the port hole to see Pietro fall into the water. Remembering Pietro had last been up on deck Legion ran up the stairs to see if what had caused him to fall.
Kitty phased through the ceiling and landed right in front of the brig where Jack's crew was being held.
"Half-Pint." Logan started before Kitty motioned for them to be silent as she phased them out of the brig.
Meanwhile, Commodore Colossus was still waiting for the pirates to come out of the cave in rowboats. Suddenly the far off sound of the Dauntless's alert bell began to ring rousing all the mutants attention. Then as suddenly as it began it ended as if the source had been cut off mid swing, but the message remained and from where they sat the X-Men could see a power war was being waged. "Back to the ship!" Colossus yelled.

"You can't beat me Toad." Magneto yelled, as he and Toad continued their sword fight.
Toad leapt away from Magneto's blade and into the moonlight at which point he also turned skeletal, "Cool." He laughed, tossing a gold medallion into the air and catching it, "Couldn't resist, yo?" He said, responding to Lance and Magneto's confused looks.
"What now Toad?" Magneto asked, also in is skeleton form, "Shall we be two immortals locked in battle until the end of the world?"
Toad shrugged, "You could surrender." he suggested.

Kitty led Toad's crew to one of the Black Pearl's rowboats. "Come on, like, Lance is in that cave!" She pulled the rope but the boat just tipped over. She looked behind her to see why no one was helping. "Like, heave already!"
"Any port in the storm." Lockheed squawked from Berzerker's shoulder.
"Sparky's right, Half-Pint." Logan said.
"What about Toad, like, you can't just leave him!" Kitty yelled.
"Toad owes us a ship." Mystique pointed out.
"And he told us to stick to the code." Logan added.
"Like, to blazes with the code, your pirates!" Kitty screamed. The crew just stared at her.
"Bloody pirates." Kitty growled as she rowed to the caves by herself.

Pyro and Remy had finally joined their fellow pirates in the fight on the Dauntless. Pyro smiled after he had managed to force an X-Man overboard by creating a large stream of fire with his zippo lighter. Remy just glared at him. He was still angry about the dress comment Pyro had made earlier. Suddenly Pyro's eyes widened and he pointed at the Black Pearl. "Crinkey!"
"What?" Remy asked, turning to look at what Pyro was pointing at.
"Is it supposed to do that?" Pyro asked as the Black Pearl set sail.
"Dey be stealin' our ship!" Remy yelled.
"Bloody Pirates!" Pyro screamed.
Remy rolled his crimson eyes and smacked Pyro upside the head. Sadly this caused Pyro to drop his precious lighter. "ZIPPO!" Pyro screamed as it slid across the deck.
