So it's late at night on Saturday and I have nothing better to do with my non-existent social life than write up this final chapter of Miraculous Pirates!.

I.O.N.

Enjoy!

Chat Noir laughed as he carried the large bags of money and jewels as the Governor's guards chased him. The governor himself was hiding away in his manor nursing his rage and avoiding as much embarrassment as possible. With an infuriating grin, he led them through the town heading towards the port, and towards Tikki. Before he realized it, two or three guards that had gotten a little too close were taken down with surprised grunts.

The shadows that had brought them down melted back into the shadows of the surrounding buildings and began to run ahead of even Chat Noir.

For a time, it looked as if Chat Noir had escaped them until they reached the pier and saw a ship beginning to head out and they saw a dark figure with clawed gloves waving goodbye. The guards began shouting abuse at the escaping ship. Right up until they saw the name of the ship. Then the governor's guards nearly trampled each other to get away from the sea and the pirates that had just left them.

Lila glared intensely at the piece of paper that sat innocently in front of her. As if her anger alone would convince the information that was held in the paper to appear. Unfortunately for her temper, it stayed completely unchanged and blank.

"You know miss Lila, all that glaring you're doin' is only gonna cause you pain in the head." One of the sailors joked as he stood in her doorway.

"Is that a fact." Lila replied with icy politeness.

The sailor raised his hands in surrender, "Didn't mean no harm. Just trying to distract you from your troubles."

"If I had wanted someone's advice, I would have asked." Lila was snappish, but at that moment she didn't really care, all she wanted was for the sailor to leave. However, despite her clear dismissal, the man continued to stand in her door, a stupid little grin on the older man's face. After a few minutes of angrily glaring at the man, Lila finally snapped. "Is there a reason you are here? Other than to be a nuisance?"

With a laugh, the sailor answered her angry question, "Well now that you mention it, the Captain said Lord Dylan-"

"Why do you do that?"

"I beg your pardon?"

"I meant why don't you call Lord Dylan the Captain. Isn't it his boat?" Lila questioned despite her annoyance with him.

If anything, the sailor's infuriating grin grew, "Well you see, Lord Dylan might own the boat, but unless he's the one steering her and defending her and her crew, she isn't his. Any good captain is loyal to their ship and their crew. So you see, while that noble in the fancy clothes thinks he's really the captain because he owns her, he isn't her captain, nor is he ours. Does that answer your question, Miss Lila?" In spite of how annoying he was, forgetting the fact this was the first conversation she'd ever had with the man, Lila felt a grudging respect for the sailor.

"Yes. Thank you."

"Then as I was saying, Lord Dylan wanted to speak with you."

"Do you know why?"

"Nope, I'm only the messenger ma'am."

"Has anyone ever told you how annoying you can be."

"Why should someone tell me what I already know?"

For the first time in what had probably been years, Lila laughed a true heartfelt laugh. It was really more of a snort, but it was there. With a genuine smile, she asked her new acquaintance, "Then would you mind escorting me to Lord Dylan's quarters?"

The sailor bowed his head in mock formality, "T'woud be my pleasure, mademoiselle." Together they left her cabin.

Before they had gone far, Lila thought of something, "I don't believe I ever asked for your name."

"I don't see much reason as to why a so-phis-ti-ca-ted lady like yourself would want to know a lowly sailor's name."

"Well I can't very well keep calling you 'the annoying sailor' now can I?"

"That name is so friendly, I'm tempted to just refuse so you have to." The sailor laughed, causing Lila to groan in annoyance.

"UGH!"

After a few more chuckles the older man relented and told her his name, "If you absolutely must call me anything besides, 'the annoying sailor', you can call me Steven with a ph." That got Lila really laughing.

"You can't be serious. With a ph? That's your last name?"

"Yep! Born and raised a proud with a ph! It's where I get my annoyingness from. But anyways Miss Lila, it appears I have successfully escorted you to Lord Dylan's cabin."

"Why thank you, good sir!" Lila replied with a mock curtsey.

"It was my pleasure." With that, Steven with a ph left to attend to his other duties, or annoy someone else. It really was a fifty-fifty chance with him. With one last chuckle at his retreating form, Lila schooled her features to look as if it had still been years since anything that fun had ever taken place and knocked on Dylan's door.

"Come in."

Marinette, Chloe, Nino, Alya, Kim, and Alix, all dressed in their pirate uniforms, and all sitting in the captain's cabin staring at Adrien, who for his part was very nervous. He had rarely seen all six of them so serious, and standing in front of them felt like staring down six very vicious dogs who all very much wanted to kill him. Finally, Jade Turtle (for in that moment they were not the awesome friends he had gotten to know but the legendary pirates that instilled fear in all that saw them) broke the silence.

"I'll admit, what you pulled off was pretty impressive. Not many of us could pull it off."

"Thanks? I'm sensing a 'but' somewhere in there."

Ladybug took a deep breath and continued from where Jade Turtle left off, "But, while you do show promise that you could be an amazing pirate and a good addition to our crew. The deal I made with you was a little unfair, so I want to remedy that."

Adrien looked at them in confusion, "I'm not sure I understand."

Paon leaned against the desk, "The Captain means that she issued you that challenge as if it were certain that you would want to come with us. But we all neglected to ask you if you even wanted to come with us on our search."

Queen Bee picked up the ball next, "So we want to ask you now. Do you want to come with us?"

"What exactly would happen if I were to go with you?"

Nabi laughed, "It's different every time! Once we hit this really bad storm and nearly drowned. Then we got attacked by all sorts of monsters. Or sirens will try and crush us. It was amazing!" Rena Rouge rolled her eyes at how excited her adopted brother was about their many near-death experiences.

"The point is, we couldn't tell you what could possibly happen if you go with us."

"Sounds dangerous." But even as he said it, excitement was building inside of him.

Queen Bee smiled as the anticipation built, "Yep."

"Almost certain possible death."

"Who knows what could happen."

"Complete mystery."

"It's gonna be so epic!"

Ladybug finally turned back to him, "So, are you in?"

Chat Noir's grin grew even larger, "I wouldn't miss it for the world."

As one the six pirates smiled and spoke, "Then welcome aboard."
