Remy and Pietro had taken refuge under one of Port Royal's many docks. "So, we gonna steal a ship?" Gambit asked peering out at the X.M.S. Dauntless. "Dat ship?"
Quicksilver shook his head. "No,-we're-gonna-commandeer-that-ship," he said pointing at the Interceptor which the X-Men were currently loading to chase the Black Pearl. "It's-only-stealing-if-we-get-caught." The pirate explained with ease. "Now-then,-I-have-to-ask-the before-we-go-any-further.-This-girl,-how-far-are-you-willing-to-go-to-save-her?" he asked.
"Remy'd die for her," Remy said solemnly looking the speed demon directly in the eyes.
"Okay,-no-worries,-then," Peitro quipped as he motioned for the other to follow him. Peitro speed on top of the dock and made his way over to a small row boat. Gambit looked at him questioningly as the white haried mutant turned the boat upside-down and jumped into the water.
Still looking confused, but after a moment he went strait into the water. Then he resurefaced underneath the the capsized boat which was filled with air.
After a couple minutes the weight of their soaked clothing began to pull them and the air filled boat to the bottom where they started walking toward the X.M.S. Dauntless. "Y' be either insane or brilliant," Remy commented.
"Or-both," Pietro said with a shrug. They soon reached the Dauntless and swam back up to the surface with the help of their air filled boat. Remy flipped the boat right-side-up and pulled himself in, so he could give the speed demon a boost. Quicksilver, quickly took the boost and proceeded to lower a rope ladder down to Le diablo blanc. "Everyone, please, remain calm and exit the ship in a orderly fashion," the pirate commanded the small group of X-Men that were currently aboard the ship. The sailors responded by staring at Toad as if he were crazy.
Then the devil himself jumped on board and shouted, "Oui Laisse bien le combat!" This caused all the X-Men to chuckle slightly.
"There's no way two clodpates could get this ship out of the bay," Lieutenant Alex Masters laughed.
Rolling his eyes before drawing his gun Pietro spoke. "I'm-Captain-Pietro-Maximoff.-Do-you-honestly-think-you-will-stop-me?"
Quicksilver continued to hold a gun to Lieutenant Masters's head, until all of the X-Men aboard the Dauntless had filed onto one of its lifeboats. Then he pushed Havok down to them and went to help Remy rig the ship. "Sir, they've taken the Dauntless! Maximoff and LeBeau, they've taken the Dauntless!" Commodore Scott's brother yelled at him, who was aboard the X.M.S. Interceptor.
The Commodore heard his brother's warning and ordered his crew to steer the Interceptor over to the Dauntless and reclaim the ship. "He is with out a doubt the worst pirate I have ever lain eyes on," Cyclops muttered to Officer Drake.
When the X-Men reached the Dauntless Pietro and Remy were nowhere to be seen. "Search every cabin, every hold, down to the bilges," the commodore ordered as they boarded the Dauntless. As soon as all of the X-Men were aboard the Dauntless the pirate, and his partner in crime jumped across to the Interceptor and set sail.
"Commodore!" Pietro called from the departing ship, causing Scott to turn around and realize they had stolen the Interceptor. "Thanks-for-the-ship!" He laughed as he sailed the Interceptor out of Port Royal.
"Set top sail, let us clean up this abomination," the enraged commodore at his crew.
"We won't be able to catch them," Bobby pointed out.
"We don't need to catch them, just get them in range," Scott glare warningly, as if asking the younge officer to challenge him.
"Run out the guns!" Bobby shouted to the crew, then he turned back to his Commodore. "Are we really going to fire on our own ship, Sir?" He asked skeptically.
"I'd rather kill her than see her in his hands."
Bobby was about to question his Commodore further when he heard Officer Roberto yell, "The rudder chain has been disabled, Sir!" Just as the X.M.S. Dauntless crashed into the lifeboat Alex and his crew were in.
"Abandon ship!" Alex screamed as he dove into the water, accidently loosing a bit control over his powers, destroying part of the mass.
"That has got to be the best pirate I've ever seen," Bobby whispered awestruck.
"So it would seem," Commodore Summers muttered angrily glaring at the speck on the horizon that was his Interceptor.
A/N: Well, hello all of ya fine people. We finally updated, took us long enough... School started in early August and we couldn't even get on the computer for a while. Eventually, when we could, our internet shut off. So sorry for the delay. Also I, Faye, am part of a joint writing account with a friend that I met in Huntsville, Alabama when I went to space camp. I wound up trying to write the first chapter, and I still have to finish it.
Clodpate – a cross between a clod and a blockhead.
Hana the Wreck: Glad ya like it. Don't worry, I'm on a school break, and I going to try and post two more chapters, if not one.
Another reason for our delays is for a lack of reviews. But all will come to pass. And if any of ya have any ideas for pranks that the guys would play on the girls, or vise versa, let us know, we'll need it for a fic we're wirting. Anyways gotta go.
