Hey all,
I do not own Captain Amelia or any other Treasure Planet character. They are Disney's and I respect that.
I do own Andrea, Niesha, Tina, Leech, David, and Amanda.
I give credit to treasureplanet-gurl for the use of Elina. I respect all regulations put down and etc. In the end, its her character!
lyle Mcfarland : HA! too bad you're in MOA and have no time to read this! (sticks nose in the air and walks away)
treasureplanet-gurl : Shhh! You maybe onto something! Questions aren't silly. Except for a few... lyle.. don't even try! Umm. As I asked in chapter five.. I would like some of Elina's back round family.. Make it up if you will....... queen Sarabi : Yay! Thanks!
Andrea woke up to Niesha nuzzling her face. Elina was already up, and not looking happy.
"What's up, Elina?"
"The sky, Andrea. Your fox jumped on me and woke me up."
"Oh sorry."
"It's okay. Just not again."
Andrea nodded and stood up. She stretched and stopped dead.
"I already told Leech off. Get out of here pirate!"
Andrea's voice held strong, though her hands shook. A pirate was standing in the shadows, not moving.
"Leech informed me of your fixing this long boat. I don't believe you would try to fix it."
"Well, we did."
"I think it's an escape plan."
"Really? Not possible." Andrea's fear left her. "There's no way no matter how hard I try with this longboat can I escape with it. Even with boosters and things, it's beyond my grasp of knowledge."
"Really? Leech doesn't seem to think so."
Andrea cursed herself for not seeing Leech who was standing at the bottom of the stairs. He was watching them, but refused to meet her eye.
"It will have to be destroyed."
"What? No! That's a waste of our work!"
The pirate stepped out of the shadows. Elina and Andrea gasped.
"Mr. Arrow? You can't be!"
The pirate seemed off guard. He looked like Mr. Arrow but was a darker gray and had many "chips" in him. Battle scars. Steel gray eyes with no kindness. And his pirate clothes.
"No, you must be thinking of my cousin. He's on, what ship is it? Right, the RLS Legacy. He was a pretty boy, honest and all."
"In case you happened not to know, Mr. Arrow was killed on the voyage to Treasure Planet."
"What!" THe pirate bellowed and came up to Andrea. "What happened to him!?"
"He was murdered by a pirate. By the name of Scroop. His lifeline was cut during a super nova."
"Does this pirate still live? I'll flay him alive!"
"No, he was killed." Andrea was confused, and debated about asking a question. Her curious nature won out. "But why do you care?"
"Mr. Arrow was my cousin. We were best friends and rivals. We both wanted to become captains and fly our ships side by side. We got accepted at the Academy. We finished our training. Then he got the opportunity to be a first mate to some Jurden guy. He took it right away. I was angry at him, but I did become a captain. But the Navy hardly paid me and piracy was the better option. So that's what I am."
Andrea nd Elina could think of no response to this.
"Well, what's done is done. Leech destroy this longboat!"
"Yes sir."
"My name is Shooter. If you want to talk ask any pirate on this ship. Inform me of any that disobey." Shooter walked away. Leech came over with a wrench.
'You're not serious? Leech!"
"I have to obey him, Andrea." He began to work at the engine removing parts.
"That's Miss Randon to you."
"Yes, ma'am."
"Jerk!"
Leech finished. "Look, the longboat was a bad idea."
Andrea said nothing. Elina took it she was to answer. "Not necessarily. We learned what the captain's like. Had we sat around doing nothing, he wouldn't have bothered to meet us."
Leech was stunned. "That's the first time you actually talked to me civilly."
"Don't push your luck."
"Any ways. Come on. The longboat wasn't too bad an idea but I have a better one."
"ALL HANDS ON DECK! WE'RE UNDER ATTACK!"
Andrea, Leech and Elina turned.
"You two. Stay here!" Leech ordered.
"Ya right!" As Leech ran up the stairs they followed right behind. At the top they grabbed a gun.
A pirate ship was attacking. Andrea was disappointed.
Shooter appeared. He ignored the cries of the crew and walked calmly over to the rail of the ship.
"Barl! Why are you here?!" He bellowed at the other captain.
"I heard you had a Randon girl and her friend. I wouldn't mind taking them from you and getting a hefty ransom."
"Barl, I'm warning you!"
"Fire away, mates!" Barl yelled.
The battle started up again. Andrea and Elina yelled at each other how many pirates each had hit.
"I've got seven!" Andrea called.
"Nine here!"
Leech joined in. "Fifteen!"
"Hey who said you could play?"
"Come on, Andrea! This is a battle not some amusement! Let me play!"
"He sounds like he's two." Andrea whispered to Elina and they both snickered.
"Eleven!"
"Thirteen!"
"Twenty-one!"
"No way Leech! You liar!"
"I don't lie!"
"Of course you do, you're a pirate remember?"
Leech didn't answer and his face turned hard.
Barl's pirates were on deck and great mobs of them were attacking. A group of ten spotted Andrea and Elina.
"Those two!"
Andrea and Elina jumped up and slashed out with their daggers. But it was too much. Andrea was fighting two and one knocked her out from behind. Leech saw him pick her up and ran over. He killed the pirate and dragged Andrea away. But he couldn't see Elina.
"Elina!" He yelled and then spotted her.
Elina was being dragged away by five pirates. Leech ran to them and unsheathed his sword. Two stopped. One attacked him with a sword and the other got behind him and knocked him out.
"What about the other girl?"
"Leave her. We got the important one!"
The pirates dragged a kicking and yelling Elina away, as Andrea and Leech were face down on the deck oblivious to what was happening. Amelia paced the ship. Nothing so far. She had talked to Tina again, who said the same as she had before. Amelia walked over to Avens who was overseeing the ship.
"Pull in the gyp sails!"
"Avens?"
"Yes Captain?"
"We are on the right course towards the Bloody Dagger?"
"Yes. A Navy spy had put a locator in it."
"Very well then."
Avens could see that had done nothing for Amelia. "Amelia, wait!"
Amelia turned. "Yes?"
"Those two will be okay, you know. They're smart girls."
"I know they are but pirates are so unpredictable."
"Yes, but Andrea's dealt with them before. Elina too."
"Stars above, Avens. Has anyone informed Elina's parents?"
"Not that I know of."
"Grand, majestically grand." Amelia muttered sarcastically.
"Calm down. We'll have those two girls back in a week."
"At what cost, Avens?"
Okay. I hope that was longer than normal.
Till I find the end of the rainbow,
Elvenwolf
