Jamie revealed her hidden blades and Gumball prepared his sword. Gumball took a deep breath, let it out and then charged. He brought his sword down on her which she blocked with by crossing her two blades in front of the sword. She then lifted her foot and kicked Gumball in the stomach, removed his sword from his grip and connected her fist to Gumballs face. Gumball fell to the ground and was about to get pinned down when he quickly rolled out of the way. He picked up a rock, stood up and throw it at her. She easily dodged it and a throwing knife popped out of her hand. She throw it so quickly that Gumball didn't even know it was coming till it ripped through the side of his arm and removed some flesh.
"Shit! That fucking hurt!" Gumball yelled out.
"That was quick." Lexy said. "Simba, Dante your up."
"Simba removed his sword and Dante simply stood there waiting for him. His a Indigo colored hybrid between a cat and a panther which heightened his skills. His two tells also allowed excellent maneuverability while jumping. Simba moved towards Dante and swung his sword at Dante's right side which was dodged. Simba then pushed the point of the sword forward, which Dante dodged by twisting around. He then grabbed Simba arm with his left hand and sent his right hand flying into Simba's face in the form of a fist. The sword fell to the ground and Simba stepped back. He felt his mouth and saw it noticed it was bleeding a little. He made his way to Dante and tried to punch him, but his fist was caught by Dante's hand. Dante twisted his arm to near braking point and kicked him behind the knee causing Simba to fall on his knees.
"Ok. Ok. You win." He said trying to hold in the pain.
"This is going to be a long day." Lexy said rolling her eyes.
"Well what did you expect?" Asked Gumball annoyed.
"That was just a test to see what you can do. Now the actual teaching begins. Our going to try again and this time they will be telling you what you did wrong and how you should do it." Lexy explained.
Aboard the ship captain Endo and the quartermaster were busy discussing their plan of action.
"If we want to be successful, then were going to need a frigate as our back up ship." The quartermaster stated. "Sadly there's only two pirate captains that have one and neither one of them are here."
"No a frigate wont do. There not maneuverable enough and where are we going to get a large enough crew, that's crazy enough to go after the Red Crow?"
"Then what do you suggest captain?"
"Another brig, fast enough to dodge enemy fire and preferably armed with larger guns."
"The only ships that fit that description are hunter ships and you need a wanted level to have them come after you."
"Then we have a lot of work ahead of us."
It was now round about midday and the teens were sitting down on top of the hill. Gumball and Simba had a few moderate bruises on their faces the two assassins sat down pleased with their work. Carrie had now joined them and together they were enjoying the view of the small town and the ships out in the water.
"What island was Captain Endo talking about?" Gumball asked breaking the peaceful silence.
"The island Kira is on." Carrie started. "No one knows where it is and even Columbus can't find it. In fact it messes around with his head every time he tries. Which is way we need you."
"Is she going to guide me?"
"Yes."
"And who's Mr. Small?" Simba asked joining in on the conversation.
"Even I don't know."
"What's this island like?" Gumball asked.
"A place that holds many secrets and even more dangers. At least that's what the rumors say." Dante answered looking into the distance. This caused Simba to raise an eyebrow.
"Enough relaxing." Lexy announced standing up. "Its time to have a race. Gumball and Simba groaned at the sound of that.
"Come on. I'll buy the winner around of rum."
"I don't drink." Gumball said bluntly.
"Your a pirate now might as well start sooner rather than later." The two cats stood up and looked at their destination, each trying to decide which route would be the best.
"When I say go we all make a dash for it, but the competition is only between you two." Lexy said reading herself.
"I'll wait for you at my place." Carrie said before going home.
"Everyone ready?" Lexy asked, but before anyone could respond she yelled out.
"Go!"
With that the five of them ran down the hill heading straight for the town down below. Dante immediately took the lead with Jamie and Lexy fighting for second and Gumball and Simba bringing up the rear. They reached a group of people which they proceeded to push out of the way. Dante and the two girls made their way on top of the buildings and started leaping from one to the other while the two boys remained on the ground. Gumball ran on top of some boxes and jumped from them to get a boost, but bumped into someone on landing causing him and the unsuspecting bystander to fall down. This gave Simba the advantage as he passed Gumball with a grin. This quickly faded when he saw a large crowd of people in front of him carrying cargo, giving no choice but to make his way to the top of the buildings. As he got to the top he saw Gumball only a few meters away from him. He ran to the edge and jumped for it, but on landing he felt a weight on his back. He couldn't land properly and fell on his stomach with the weight still on top of him. Gumball then stood up of Simba's back and continued to run, leaping to the next building. Gumball then got to the last building, jumped down and made his way to the beach stopping right in front of the water. He looked back and saw his opponent approaching, so he ran into the water till it reached his waist and then he started swimming for it.
On the ship Dante, Jamie and Lexy were waiting for the two felines and soaking up the sun to dry of. Gumball was the first to make it up the onto the ships deck followed closely by Simba.
"Took you to long enough." Said Lexy.
"Ok... Wheres ...My...Rum?" Gumball asked retaining his breath.
"We'll go get it tonight at the bar."
"You... Cheated!" Exclaimed Simba also catching his breath.
"Anything goes when your a pirate." Gumball said in response.
"Gumball!" Yelled out the quartermaster. "Here are the pistols you requested." He said handing them over. Gumball took them and placed one on each hip.
"Enjoy the night while you can. We leave round about noon tomorrow."
"Where to?" Asked Dante.
"Where going hunting for pirate hunters." He said and walked away.
"Please tell me we're not swimming back." Gumball said feeling the added weight on him.
"Lucky for you there's a boat about to leave for port." Said Lexy.
"Are you sure you can use those?" Kira asked Gumball in his mind. This caught him off guard since its been awhile since he heard Kira.
"I shot a pistol before, I even used it to kill someone." Gumball replied in his mind.
"Keep training, you'll need it."
"Wait how do I find you?How do we do this?"
"The closer you get the more I can say, I'm too weak to talk so long from so far away."
Gumball was lost for words and didn't really know how to respond. It only reoccurred to him now that he was somehow supposed to help her in a way only he can.
"Are you coming?" Asked Lexy.
"Yeah. Yeah I'm coming." Gumball said as he made his way to the boat.
The bar was filled with people as another ship docked in the afternoon and bush of pirates were ready to drink away all their profits. The teens sat at a table for six against the wall. Columbus was however absent, because he was working out a way to take on the Red Crow or Iron Ram as some call it. This because its most powerful weapon is its massive iron ram. Each of them sat with a cup of rum and were taking turns to tell stories of their time at sea.
"That my friends is how you properly kill a shark with a harpoon." Dante said finishing his story. The group let out light chuckles, not necessarily because the story was funny, but just because of the good time they were having.
"Your turn Gumball. What brought you to the sea?" Asked Carrie.
"My father used to work on a merchant ship. One day while they were docked in Kingston, he took me aboard and showed me around. That was a great day, he told me what he did, where they would go what cargo they carried and so on. I got to meet the captain and he said I could help my father out if I liked. So we spent the whole day working." Gumball explained. He then sat back and finished his rum, took a moment to let it sink in and continued.
"A few days later it was time to leave and it would be about two, three months before I saw him again. Then he came to me and told me he had great news, he said I could come aboard and sail with him. That turned out to be the best and... Worst day of my life." Gumball said and had a moment of silence. No one else said anything, but knew where this was going.
"I could use a refill. " he said and stood up and walked to the barman.
"I'll go talk to him." Lexy said and followed Gumball.
We should probably also get going." Said Dante and left with Jamie. This left only Simba and Carrie.
"Hey, if you want we could go back to the hill and stare at the stars." Simba offered hopping not to ruin another opportunity.
"Ok. That sound great." Carrie accepted with a smile forming on her face.
Gumball was standing outside now and taking a moment to gather his thoughts. Lexy walked up to him and put her hand on his shoulder.
"You ok?" She asked.
"Yeah just needed some air."
"Thought you were getting a refill?"
"I forgot that I don't have any money on me."
She looked down and thought for a moment. She then got an idea.
"Come on lets go to the river."
"I think I had too much to drink, so I can really go swim now."
"You had one round."
"I had my first round."
"Hahaha. There's a place there where me Carrie and Columbus always hang out."
"Ok."
Meanwhile, Dante and Jamie had rented a room a got inside. Dante closed the door behind him and Jamie made her way to the bed. She removed her boots while Dante removed the top part of his outfit.
"Wounder how long were going to be out at sea this time?" He asked. Jamie stood up and approached him. She placed her hand on his chest and slowly moved it down to his abs.
"Don't tell, just show me." She said seductively. Dante placed his hand on her cheek and brought her closer. They started kissing passionately, which quickly turned into aggressive kissing. They made their way to the bed and Dante pushed her onto the bed. He quickly removed his boots and pants while she removed her whole outfit, leaving with only her lower undergarments on (no bra). Dante got on the bed and laid on top of her. They continued their aggressive kissing as Dante grabbed her breasts and she placed her left hand on his back and her right hand on the back of his head. He then used his one hand to remove what he was still wearing and she did the same. He then placed his hands on the bed to hold himself up as he inserted himself into her. Outside of the room an old grey dog walked by and heard a short of banging sound followed by power moans.
"Every night it's the same thing." He said covering his ears, but could still hear the noise.
Simba and Carrie were laying on the grass on top of the hill staring at the stars.
"It's so peaceful here." Said Carrie.
"Do you come here often?"
"No. My father doesn't want me to be out at night."
"But his fine with you leaving on what people are calling a suicide mission."
"That's different."
"How?"
"It's something we've been preparing for ever since he got back five years ago."
"What happened?"
"He never told me. He did however tell me how to free her. Enough about that lets just enjoy the night."
The two kept staring at the stars which made Carrie tired. She inched closer to Simba and made herself comfortable as she slowly drifted off. Simba simply laid there with a smile on his face. He completely forgot about everything, hoping this moment would last until he to fell asleep.
