Kale: Uh, that's good, right? I know, I'm trying to make the chapters longer, It's just that there are so many convenient chapter endings.

PirateBlacksmith: Oh, there's more. Believe me, there's more, and they are included in later chapters.

Stephanie: Yes, very fun, thank you! ((Yay, Stephanie! Just wait 'til this chapter is read... Muah hah hah hah...))

Nicole leads them to the small village, which looks more like a ghost town out of some western movie. There is no sign of Nicole's people or the other pirate crew. A tumbleweed blows by, even though they are on a tropical island.

Nicole fears that they have all been killed. A young girl with shining mocha colored hair and eyes peeks around the side of a nearby building.

"Nicole!" She cries out excitedly. As Nicole looks over to her, the sparkle comes back to her eyes, and her cascading golden wheat colored hair regains its shine and luster.

"Trini!" They run and hug, then link arms and walk back over to Jack and Will.

"All of the others are in the cave over that way." Trini points inland.

"Will you take us there?" Jack asks hurriedly. She nods, and takes the lead as Nicole takes Will's hand. Trini skips off ahead, and they come to the mouth of a large cave.

Once inside, they see about ten or so girls, all with overly described hair and eyes. Jack and Will both nearly have heart attacks. They are all standing except for one girl with short, straight blond hair sitting in the corner, holding her head and rocking back and forth.

"Who's that?" Nicole asks Trini, pointing to the girl.

"Oh, that's Tanya."

"What's wrong with her?" Trini hesitates a moment before answering.

"She is a defect, and became a hermit." Nicole nods. "We don't really like to talk about her." She adds quietly. Jack begins to flirt shamelessly with any girl near him, causing them to giggle and blush.

After spending the night in the cave, they get up to see Tanya mixing some powders and putting the result in small containers with wires sticking out of them. Nicole takes Will's hand and they walk to the mouth of the came. Where they have a snog fest.

"Eh-hem!" Will turns around from kissing Nicole to see a young girl, no more than sixteen and slightly on the short side, with brown hair pulled back in a ponytail, standing there. "Are you the brains, and I use that term lightly, of this outfit?"

"I am." Nicole replies.

"I am first mate Angie on the ship The Sunflower, to Captain Stephanie, sometimes Kayla. I have come for the unconditional surrender of the Mary-Sues."

"We will never surrender!" Nicole proclaims angrily. Angie sighs.

"So you have chosen the hard way. Suit yourself. Meet us on the beach near the ships at noon. We will fight to the death." She walks off back towards The Sunflower.

Back on The Sunflower, Angie walks up to the captain. She has yellow ribbons tied in her hair, a dirty yellow shirt, brown pants, and heavy boots.

"Verdict?" She asks.

"They would not surrender." The feared pirate captain smiles.

"Very good. Valerie! Jessica!" Two girls, on fairly tall with short brown hair, the other significantly shorter in height with an arm sticking out of the top of her head (it's prosthetic) and longer brown hair, come over and salute the schizophrenic pirate captain Stephanie/Kayla. "Go get our new guest. We fight at noon."

"Aye aye, captain!" They shout in unison, and head off below deck. The captain gets a gleam in her eyes as her energy builds up.

"Yellow ribbons, Stephanie!" A girl with frizzy/curly dark hair says this, then disappears. ((This could be either of us authors, actually. We both fit the description. Muah hah hah hah, so which one is it? You'll have to decide.))

With a cry of "Alle mussen Deutsch leben!", a transformation takes place that would rival Sailor Moon's (because it's copied off of Sailor Moon, after all). The background fades away, revealing a sparkling sky of some sort. Stephanie's body becomes wrapped in yellow ribbons, which transform into her Kayla outfit, which really isn't that much different from her Stephanie outfit). Probably the most noticable change is that the yellow ribbons in her hair are much longer now, and a green A's baseball bat appears in her hands.

The pirate captain now called Kayla laughs hyperly, awaiting noontime.

"Trini!" Nicole yells, running into the cave. "Trini, we are going to fight the crew of The Sunflower on the beach at noon!"

"We must prepare!" Trini shouts. "Sasha! Gina! Petra! Get the weapons!" The three girls named run off to the back of the cave and grab swords and junk, then pass them all out to everybody else.

They wait in silent anticipation for the time when they are to leave for the Great Beach War. Occasionally, there are small explosions from Tanya's homemade gunpowder, but for the most part no sounds are heard. When the time comes, they all walk to the beach in a V formation.

For the first time, they see their opponents, and to one side of the yellow clad captain is –gasp- Elizabeth. Dun dun dun!

"But... you're supposed to be dead!" Will exclaims, while Nicole just look terrified. The evil pirate captain steps forward.

"You've brought reinforcements! Fun!" She squeaks in an overly hyper way. "I am the evil schizophrenic pirate Captain Stephanie/Kayla! Now I'm going to kill you all!"

"She's in her Kayla form." Nicole whispers to Jack and Will. Jack raises an eyebrow, torn between laughing and running away terrified. Will is still staring at the presumed dead Elizabeth.

Kayla pulls out a green A's baseball bat from seemingly nowhere, and with a cry of "This is gonna be really neat!" she and her crew rush forward.

And the battle is on.
