Chapter 3
"Simple rules, whoever gets knocked out first loses," Dice explained. He signed as he noticed that both Salt and Ukyo were growling at each other. He raised his hand up to signal that the match was about to start.
"Ready, go!" Salt and Ukyo sped toward each other. Ukyo threw her leg to make compact with Salt, but he easily dodged it. He raced around her quickly and swooped his leg under her. Ukyo fell but got up quickly.
"It's simple. Salt's gonna win," Akane said with much confidence.
"Hmph, as if, of course my sister's going to win," Ranma commented from the side. "She was taught by the best, me."
"The guy has an ego, huh?" Akane smirked at him. "We'll see."
She turned her head to see Ukyo land a punch in Salt's guts. He coughed and grabbed her arm, swinging her in front of him. She twisted and continued with a series of punches and kicks toward Salt. He easily dodged and blocked them. With a sudden stike to the back of Ukyo's neck, she fell unconcious.
"Heh, told ya," Akane smiled widely as she made her way to congradulate Salt.
"Foolish woman, " Ranma mumbled. He also made his way toward Salt and Ukyo.
"Wake up, Ukyo! Wake up!" Ukyo opened her eyes.
"Ugghh," she rubbed the back of her neck. "I lost didn't I?"
"Duh," Ranma said, helping his sister get up.
"How did this happen? I mean, no one, no guy ever beat me before!" Ukyo said frustrated. "Oooh, I'm gonna hurt that guy! Salt, is it?" Ukyo got up and headed toward the blackly dressed teen.
"Ukyo!" Ranma called behind her. She ignored him and kept walking.
"You!" Salt turned to faced Ukyo. "You Mr. I-beat-a-girl-and-now-I'm-all-that. You loser!" Ukyo slapped Salt and grabbed the cabbage from Akane's arms.
"Hey, he beat you! You can't take that!" Akane exclaimed.
"I can and I just did," Ukyo said sticking her tongue out. A punch went out and suddenly everything went black.
"Heh, she won't be waking up for a while now," Akane grinned and slapped Salt a high-five.
A hand grabbed Akane's arm and twisted her around.
"You can't hit my sister and get away with it," Ranma said still holding her hand. Akane's other arm grabbed mallet out of thin air and smashed it on Ranma's head. His eyes rolled back and he dropped unconcious as well.
"I can and I just did," Akane said mocking Ukyo. "Dice, grab those two. We're heading back to the ship." Salt and Pepper linked arms with Akane and walked ahead.
"Great, I have to carry them." Dice easily swung Ukyo on his left shoulder. Ranma on the other hand, was much heavier.
"I'll give those two something to pout about," Akane said evilly.
"That girl, she fought like a-a girl!" Salt and Pepper bursted out laughing. Akane glared at them angrily which shut them up instantly.
"Sorry," apologized Pepper.
"It's alright." Akane rubbed her stomach. "Let's just get to the ship, I'm dying of hunger."
"Hey Kane, shouldn't we throw a party," remarked Salt.
"A Party? What for?"
"Um...a party for the crew! Yeah, we do need some fun," Pepper explained.
"For the crew, eh? Alrighty then, you two, arrange it," Akane decided. Pepper winked at Salt. They knew that if it was for the crew, Akane would do pretty much anything.
It didn't take them long to reach the ship.
"Okay, do what you need to boys." Salt and Pepper nodded happily and ran off. Akane turned around to see Dice climping up to the ship. "Hey Dice, what took you?"
"What took me! You could've helped, but nooo. You had to walked off." Dice dropped the two bodys on the ground and stretched.
"Put it this way, you got a good work-out," Akane grinned. Dice laughed and hung his arm around Akane's shoulder.
"Heh, whatever, Kane. Let's get some chow." Akane lifted Dice's arm off her shoulder.
"Right after you lock those two up," Akane pointed to Ukyo and Ranma. "Don't want them escaping now, do we? I'll be waiting in the dining room." Akane gave a quick good-bye wave.
Dice groaned.
"Fine, I'll put those dang chains on them." Dice picked them up once again and headed toward to mutiple cages on deck. After chaining the two up, Dice headed to the dining.

Ranma woke up to the throbbing of his head. His looked to his side and saw his sister next to him. By the looks of it, they were now being held captive. They were chained on a pillars. There were many captives besides themselves.
'Who the hell locked us up,' thought Ranma angrily.
"Ukyo, wake-up! Ukyo!" Ranma nudged Ukyo.
"No, just a little longer," Ukyo pleaded, still mostly asleep.
"UKYO!" Ukyo jumped awake, and so did many of the other captives.
"Lower it will ya," said a old man in the next to them. "It's loud enough with those crummy pirates."
Ukyo ignored the old man and quickly checked her surroundings. She tried to move her hands, but found they were cuffed.
"Ranma, we're chained," Ukyo said startled.
"As if I haven't noticed it," Ranma rolled his eyes.
"Mom must be so worried about us now," Ukyo said looking thoughtfully at the darkening sky.
"Forget mom, how're we gonna escape?"
Ukyo turned forward.
"It looks like they're celebrating something," Ukyo commented. "Look at all the decorations." The ship was laced with wide yellow ribbons and rows of white paper lamps were hung above them.
"Yeah, so?"
"So if we just wait after they tire themselves out from all the dancing and booze, we can escape," explained Ukyo.
"Hey that's a good idea, alright." Ranma leaned up against the pillar and crossed his arms. "So we just have to wait."

The time slowly dragged by and Ranma felt Ukyo's head drooped onto his shoulder. The sky grew darker and darker and a few lamps went out. Finally, it seemed that everyone fell asleep.
Ranma nudged Ukyo and her eyes snapped opened.
"Let's go," he whispered. She nodded, knowingly. Ranma easily pulled tthe chain off his wrists. Quickly releasing Ukyo, they made their way to the edge of the ship. Ranma stuck his head out.
"Damn. Ukyo, we're out on sea, we won't be able to escape without another boat," Ranma said frustrated. "Ukyo?" Hearing no reply, Ranma turned around.
His eyes widened with surprise. Everyone had woken up already! Scranning through the crowd quickly, he noticed some familiar faces.
"You!" Ranma pointed to Salt, who was holding Ukyo. "You're that kid at the market." He looked around more. "And you!" He raised his finger to Akane. "You're that foolish woman!"
Akane rolled her eyes and slapped Ranma's hands away.
"You know that it's not polite to point," she said.
"Why the hell did you capture us for? A crummy cabbage!" he yelled angrily.
"We were trying to be fair, but this girl," Akane placed her hand on Ukyo. She shrugged Akane off. "She was trying to make a fool of us."
"Heh, the Tendo Pirates aren't to be made fun of by anyone," someone commented.
'Pirates?' Ranma sweatdropped. 'And not just any pirates, the Tendos! Oh Ukyo, what have you gotta us in this time.'
