About four weeks later found Ryo, Rowen, and White Blaze at Port Phados where they bumped into two boys about the same age as them and they started talking. Cye and Kento were surprised that Rowen had met Ryo in almost the same way as the two of them had met each other.

"KENTO! KENTO!" The four teens heard a young voice call out, as they looked for the voice and saw a young boy that looked a lot like Kento running towards them.

"What is it, Jay?" Kento asked as his brother stopped and caught his breath.

"Some thugs are attacking the restaurant; mom and dad had Miri, Tabby, and Tommy go to the neighbors and asked me to get you and Cye." Jay said.

"We are coming with you." Rowen told Kento and Cye after he and Ryo shared a look and nodded.

"Thanks, we might need it. Come on, let's go." Kento said as they headed off to Kento's family restaurant.

Jay went to where his little brother and sisters were so that he would be out of the way as Kento, Cye and the two guys and the tiger they were with went into the restaurant to deal with the thugs. After a while the thugs had been dealt with and taken to jail, it was clear that the restaurant would have to be closed so they could repair the damage.

"Thanks for your help." Kento's mother said.

"It was our pleasure, mam." Rowen said as Jay and his younger siblings came over.

"Are you pirates?" the four year old boy asked.

"Thomas!" his father said, shocked by the bluntness of the question as Ryo and Rowen chuckled.

"It's okay sir. Ryo and I are indeed pirates. When my men and I attack a port or ship, we make sure to leave the women and children alone. If we fight a man who clearly has a wife and young child, we will not kill that man. We don't kill anyone if we can't help it." Rowen explained.

"Rowen saved my life from some thugs a couple of weeks ago." Ryo added.

"That's so cool!" Thomas and Jay said at the same time.

"Can we pet him?" Miri asked as she and Tabitha stood near White Blaze.

"Of course you can. White Blaze likes the attention, don't you boy?" Ryo replied, as the girls smiled and started to pet him as their mother joined them.

"He's such a good boy, isn't he, girls?" she asked her daughters who nodded, then giggled as White Blaze licked them and their mother; who laughed, surprised by it.

"That was his way of saying thanks for the praise." Ryo said with a smile.

"If you boys find yourself here again, we will give White Blaze a large plate of raw meat, free of charge." Kento's father said.

"Thank you, sir." Ryo and Rowen said at the same time.

"Mom, dad, I want to join Rowen and Ryo. Any money or treasure that I get, I will give to you so you can rebuild this place. I promise to be careful, mother." Kento said to his parents.

"Okay, just promise us that you will come home to us." His father said as his mother stood up.

"I will. Jay, you will be in charge while I'm gone okay? That means no more picking on your sisters." Kento said to his brother.

"Okay. I promise I won't." Jay said before the four of them left and made a quick stop at Cye's place.

"Hey mom? Can I talk to you for a minute?" Cye asked his mother.

"Sure honey. What do you want to talk about?" his mother asked as she looked up at him.

"Kento's family restaurant was attacked by thugs and we, along with the two other boys we were talking too, took care of the thugs, but the place was damaged badly. The two boys are pirates and Kento is joining them and will give his family some of the money and treasure that he gets so his family can rebuild. I'm going with them, anything I get I will give to you, Mark, and Jessica." Cye explained to his mother.

"Okay, you have that look on your face that says your mind is made up and you won't change it. Your father was the same. Just promise me that you will stay safe?" his mother said.

"I will mom." Cye said as he gave her a hug before he joined the other's outside where they had chosen to wait for him.

While Cye and Kento said goodbye to their families in Port Pheados, Sage and his family were getting ready to set sail back in Port Dranzer. Sage was busy helping his father and the crew load the cargo into the hold on their ship "The Phoenix" while his mother, sisters and, grandfather got themselves settled into their quarters as they waited to set sail.

"That's the last of it, captain." Said one of the crew, who had walked up to Sage's father as he and Sage stood at the wheel of the ship.

"Good, start getting ready to set sail. Sage, go tell your mother, we are done and heading off." His father said.

"Yes, dad." Sage said as he walked towards the cabin where the rest of his family was.

"Mom?" Kaylee asked looking at her mother as she sat with her older sister at the table.

"Yes dear?" she asked as she looked at her youngest child from the bed where she and her husband would sleep during the night.

"Are we going to set sail soon?" Kaylee asked as Sage walked in time to hear the question.

"Yes, we are. We finished loading the cargo." Sage answered his baby sister for their mother.

"Good, why don't you join us, Sage, and relax for a while." His mother said.

"Okay." Sage agreed as he walked over to the bed where he would sleep for the night.

Soon the 'Phoenix' was pulling away from the dock and Sage's father joined them to relax before he and Sage rejoined the crew. They made good time on getting to the different ports to deliver their cargo to their clients. Then about two weeks later the Date family noticed a storm was heading their way.

"Captain! You have to come take a look at this!" a crew member exclaimed as he came into their cabin before heading back out.

"What is going on, Alan?" Sage's mother asked her husband as he stood up.

"I don't know, but stay here." Alan said as headed outside and saw that the waves where getting rough.

"The storm is moving fast, it will be on us in minutes." The man who got him said.

"SAGE!" Alan yelled for his son, who came running.

"Yes dad?" Sage asked as he came up to his father.

"We are heading into a storm and I want you to help the crew baton down the hatches, I will join you as soon as I tell your mother, sisters, and grandfather about this storm." Alan said to his only son who nodded and went to help the crew.

"Dad?" Nicole asked as her father returned.

"There is a bad storm heading our way. I want you to stay in here." Alan told his family.

"Okay, daddy." Kaylee said as his family nodded.

"Be careful son." Alan's father said.

"I will dad." Alan said before he went out to help the crew, not knowing how bad the storm really was.

Annie: It's a bit short and it feels a bit rushed but oh well, that's just how it came out.
