He swiftly went from ship to ship, making sure not to be seen. He snuck up behind her, took his hand and covered her mouth, grabbed her so she wouldn't move. He then jumped back to his ship, high enough so everyone could see, and took out a agun and put it to her head. "LISTEN UP!" he shouted. Everyone stopped fighting and looked up to see Slade holding Starfire with a gun to her head. "Now, if you all don't want her to die, I suggest you surrender your ships to me with your treasure, and I'll let her and you all live. If not" Slade pulled down a lever in the back of the gun, which meant it could be fired at any time. Star's eyes were wide. She couldn't make a noise, she was too scared of dying. "So, captain Raven, I don't think you want to loose your best mate and friend. And captain Richard, I don't think you want to loose another person you care about now do you?" Slade asked the captains. Raven was having a fight in her head:
she's your best friend
but my ship
you don't want her to die
but the ship and treasure
you don't want to loose another friend
it won't be just me loosing her
I know Richard likes her too
I meant the crew
them too, but make a descision
what!
friend, or ship and treasure
there's another way right?
Slade has a gun to your best friend's head
I'll ask what Richard want's to do
he'll want to save her
I know that! just let me ask him if he's got any plans to save her
Raven then walked over to Richard. But he didn't answer for a bit since he was having a battle in his head too:
you know you like her
she's part of Raven's crew
you know you like her
I'm gonna save her for Raven
you know you like her
I KNOW ALREADY!
then what are you waiting for? Raven's right her trying to talk to you
what?
just look
Richard looked over and saw Raven looking down, thinking about things. Then she looked up. "So, what do you want to do?" Raven asked. "What do you mean! We're not surrendering our ships to him or letting her die" Richard said. "But we have to make a choice. No ships or no Starfire" Raven told him. "Look, this happened to me before. He actually didn't hesitate to kill the last person I cared about when he did this. He does not care. I've been thinking since then about a way to stop this from happening if it happened again" Richard informed. "Did you come up with anything?" Raven asked. Richard stayed quiet. "Don't have all day you know" Slade hollered, pushing the gun closer to Star's head.
"Let her go and you can take what you want" Richard yelled. "WHAT!" both crews yelled. Slade made an evil laugh. "Well, you're not as stupid at the last time now are you Richard?" Salde asked. He then threw Star to the captains. She landed on the deck with a thud. She moaned from the slight pain from falling and the ehadache she had from the gun being pushed to her head. She got up slowly and stood up. Slade's men then started to go to their own ship to get some rope so they could tow the ships back to their personal island. Richard winked at Raven when they passed. She nodded a small nod.
"Go to the cannons and fire when I shout okay?" Raven told everyone around her in a whisper. "Fire the cannons when I tell you to, got it?" Richard told his crew around him. They all knew he had to have a plan, and he did.
