Alex stood at the bow of the ship, looking through her telescope. Mercy was right; there was a ship up ahead. She looked up at Mercy in the crow's nest and called her down. She then pocketed her telescope. She walked up the helm and looked down at her crew.
"Everyone," she called, "we've spied a merchant ship up ahead, north-east of the bow. We plan to plunder it!" The crew cheered.
"Who managed to loot every town they come across?" Alex cried.
"Us!" cheered the crew.
"Who has plundered more ships than the English navy?"
"Us!" cried the crew, getting fired up.
"And who's going to stop us?" Alex asked.
"No-one!" they roared. Everyone cheered and grabbed a cutlass from a rack along the wall. They were almost on top of the merchant ship. Bit they had failed to see another ship coming from the other side of the merchant ship. A ship with black sails.

Jack smiled and looked at the merchant ship. He turned to his crew.
"Gentlemen! I believe we have a ship to plunder!" he cried and his crew cheered. They drew their cutlasses.
"Now!" cried Jack and then jumped across the ship.
IOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOI
"Now!" cried Alex, her crew jumped across. They were ready to reek havoc, when another group of pirates jumped across from the other side. There was another ship! Alex looked at the ship next to the merchant one. It had great black sails. The Black Pearl! She looked around and saw that Sparrow fellow from the tavern. He looked just as confused as she did. Alex came to a decision.
"Draw back!" she yelled, their crew looked around and reluctantly went back to the Temptress. Alex jumped across and sheathed her cutlass. Mercy ran up to her.
"What's going on?" she asked.
"The Pearl, she's on the other side of the merchant ship. We're gonna attack her," she said, and gave orders to turn the ship and set the cannons on the Pearl. Mercy grinned and ran off.
IOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOI
Jack looked around and saw the other pirates going back. Jack had no idea how they got there, but he wasn't going to let the Temptress escape again.
"Back to the Pearl!" he cried. The pirates reluctantly jumped back and began to turn the pearl around to defend itself.
IOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOI
Neither of the captains, nor crews noticed as the merchant ship quickly sailed away and out of sight.
