Lincoln had kept David in his quarters the entire time without the crew knowing, besides his well-trusted first mate, Sucre. He guided his ship, Excalibur, through the pelagic seas. His destination was the village, Kaibaton. He stopped the ship about three-quarters of the way there, only to avoid making sure that no one could see the ship from the distance. Before he ushered his crew into his quarters to explain the plan, Lincoln and Sucre went inside to talk to David; more like he talked and read while David listened and wrote.

"Hey, David, where are you?" Lincoln asked as he and Sucre both looked around his clean quarters. David then drops from the ceiling with an apple in his hand.

"What the hell?" Sucre asked. "Is he that able?"

"I guess so."

"And he really is what you said?" Sucre asked again as he looked at the white tail sticking out of David's not-so-hiding tunic.

David walked up to Lincoln and tried to speak. "You… t-told… him?" He struggled to say.

Lincoln and Sucre were left dumbstruck. "You can talk?" They both asked in surprise.

"Not…good." He struggled in different intervals. "I learned by book. I… need, no, want to speak like a human."

"Oh yeah. That's right. You're not a human. You're a half-human." Sucre said. David growled. Sucre then put his hands up in the air. "What'd I say?" He looked at Lincoln and he shook his head. "What?"

"You called him a 'half-human'. That's just saying that he's not even a human although he is. He's just another kind of person." Lincoln justified as he directed his arm at David. "Anyways, David, you need to hide. Anywhere is good; just let me know where."

David quickly understood what Lincoln meant and he jumped up and got to the scaffolding. He made himself practically invisible in the dark; eyes closed, calm breathing, and making sure nothing was invisible as the scaffolding was dark. And right as he completely made himself indiscernible, the rest of the crew came into Lincoln's quarters.

It didn't take too long for Lincoln to devise up a plan. It would be happening at five in the afternoon. The timing was perfect for everyone; reason being that David would've probably shifted forms by then and everyone would be off the ship. Lincoln stayed in his quarters for the time being as they waited for the time to go.

"You're going to be alright here alone while we do this?" Lincoln asked.

"I'll be okay." David replied. He took out the quill and wrote something. I would help you, but I just can't hurt innocent people. I just can't. I've been taught to only fight when someone tries to fight me. I'm sorry. I want to talk more but it's harder to speak in your tongue than it is to write it.

"That's alright. I'll try to teach you how to talk a little more but not sure how well I could teach you."

Thank you. I would really appreciate that, Captain Burrows.

Lincoln grinned when he heard those words, "Captain Burrows". "You know, forget the formalities between you and I. Just call me Lincoln. I'm your friend."

David grinned back. I will call you Lincoln then. It's almost time for you to go. I'll stay here.

"Are you sure you'll be alright alone here on the ship? Everyone's going to be in Kaibaton pillaging, so it might be quiet for awhile."

Don't worry, I'll be fine. Just do what you gotta do.

It was time for the attack on Kaibaton. Lincoln and his crew had gotten armed with swords, sabers, guns, ammo, and even Molotovs. It took them about half an hour and Lincoln could tell that David is already beginning to morph and he wanted everyone off the ship when that happens. They got in their dinkies at around 5:45 PM and they began to paddle quietly towards the town's docks as the sun sets and the moon lifted into the air. Once they got to the docks, they got off the dinkies and hid in the trees. Night fell swiftly at around 6 PM and then they knew almost everyone would be inside the house, some sleeping.

Lincoln had split his crew into two groups. It was him, Sucre, Roland, Wyatt, and half of his unnamed crew and the other group was formed of T-Bag, Bellick, and the rest of the crew. Their first plan of attack was the farms that were located on the outskirts of the town. Once they attacked the farm, they took out the innocent man who was resting in his room and then ransacked the rest of the house. They took food, items of value, and then burnt the farm down with a Molotov. They were moving into the town now.

There was just chaos in the town of Kaibaton at night. Everyone was screaming in panic. Fires were started everywhere and eventually; the men started fighting back with their own weapons. This forced Lincoln's crew to go on the offensive and involve more killing. David could hear and watch from the distance and he knew that Lincoln's plan had gone astray. He began to transform and in a matter of minutes, he was already a white wolf. He decided to swim to land to see what's going on.

Meanwhile, Lincoln had split up from the rest of the crew to fight with a few of the townspeople.

"Come on mateys! Is that the best you all can muster up against the Excalibur Pirates!" He yelled. "Take them down! Take whatever you can get!" He yelled to his crew. He stabbed the man in front of him and he fell.

"Captain!" Sucre yelled. He ran up to Lincoln and then shot the man behind him.

"What?" Lincoln yelled. He stabbed the man coming from behind Sucre.

"We're in a lot of trouble now! Look!" He pointed to his left and Lincoln looked. There were soldiers in red coming right down the hill and then a ship approaching Excalibur. "We need to get back to the ship!"

"No, we split up from here. Sucre, you take everyone here and finish raiding the villages then head on the dinkies. I'll head back to the ship. I think I know…"

"Captain! Look out!" Roland yelled. A soldier in red was running behind Lincoln, almost ready to stab him in the back. There was no time to react. Then suddenly, a white wolf attacked him and he was taken out. It howled right after that, which caused everyone to cover their ears to block out the noise.

Everyone was stunned and didn't move as they stared at the wolf that was in front of them. It wasn't until it moved when a lady started panicking. This caused everyone else, besides Lincoln and Sucre, to scream in fear as they ran in random directions, trying to get away from the town. All of Lincoln's crew went inside the houses to continue ransacking as quick as they could before the wolf would attack.

The wolf approached Lincoln and then nudged him to get on. On that note, he did and the wolf ran straight into the water and swam swiftly for the ship. Lincoln grabbed his fur as tight as possible to prevent him from falling off David. It took them a good five minutes to swim through the waves and the pelagic sea.

By the time they had landed on the ship, the other ship full of soldiers was already closing in on the Excalibur. It stopped on the side and when David had Lincoln on his back, he jumped onto the other ship, quickly targeting the ropes that were tied to the mast of the ship.

As soon as the ropes had been cut, Lincoln got off and immediately started fighting. David ran around, taking out anyone with guns aimed towards Lincoln. He was quick and precise in each attack that looked like a tackle and then the ripping of the neck. Lincoln stared for a moment but knew that he would never want to make David mad or hurt him. He now sees the full power of a white wolf.

*---*

After about five minutes, the rest of the crew got on Excalibur and Lincoln and David had sunk the other ship swiftly before they arrived which provided a little bit of time for David to hide himself in Lincoln's quarters. In just the nick of time, Lincoln was fast approached by his crew who were wondering how in the hell he managed to tame a wild beast as that. Well, everyone except for Sucre. Lincoln was surrounded and admired by most, if not all of his crew. The only one who knew what was going on was Sucre, but just to make sure no one gets suspicious, he joins in the excitement and Lincoln had to keep a straight face because Sucre's reactions just got him flabbergasted in a funny way.

"Three cheers for a captain, Master of the White Wolf!" One of his crew members yelled as he pumped his keg full of rum into the air!

"Hip hip, Hooray!" They all cheered. "Hip hip! Hooray! Hip hip! Hooray!" After that, they all bumped their kegs together and partied like the night was the last night of the world.

May 12: 1668 11 PM.

The partying had just died down and everyone went to rest as tomorrow morning would be the day they had to set sail en route to Bale, their hometown. Bale was not too far from where Lincoln used to live with his son, LJ. Regulus was only a short of the miles away. But the town, Bale, was completely unknown to the city, Regulus. In fact, it doesn't even exist on the map. The town keeps itself hidden by not expanding too far as it is a small town indeed, but a small, chaotic town.

Lincoln finally walked back into his quarters and saw David lying down on the floor, still transformed. His footsteps caused his ears to perk up and he stood up almost immediately.

"Whoa, whoa. Relax, it's just me." Lincoln said with his hands up in the air.

David barked and he started to walk. "What the hell?" Lincoln rushed to check his leg. It was bleeding and there was a bullet inside of it. He touched the leg and David howled in pain.

"Calm down, David. Calm down. It's just a minor flesh wound. Hold on. I'll get Sucre up here. He knows how to treat medicinally better than I do."

Lincoln ran out of his quarters and then into Sucre's smaller quarters, which was below the ship, but he had his own quarters at best.

"Hey, wake up man." He said as he shook him in his hammock.

"What?" He yawned. "What do you need captain? I was just asleep." He scratched his eyes open.

"Come on I need your help! Please." Lincoln pleaded. Sucre understood that what Lincoln said was serious. He got up off his hammock and followed Lincoln up into his quarters. David was on three legs this time, his left foreleg up as blood started dripping down his white fur onto the floor.

"Uh… Captain? I'm not sure how I'm going to treat him. I mean the best I could probably do is wrap his leg and try to remove the bullet, but he's going to have to not howl because if he howled, it would wake up everyone and that could be bad."

"What about tomorrow morning though? I'm pretty sure he'll be back to his human form. Will the bandage…?"

"I'll be checking up early in the morning to see if it came off or is too tight. But right now, we need to get that bullet out otherwise he's going to get sick and I won't be able to help much there."

"Alright. David, I'm going to need you to hold in the temptation to howl. Just do it for me."

David put his head next to Lincoln's face and then rubbed it as if he was trying to say "okay."

The next couple of hours were full of pain and suffering, but for some reason, David was calm whenever Lincoln kept his hand on his head. He eventually fell asleep and Lincoln did as well, on top of his warm, furry body.
