P.S. I dont own anything...I wish I did because there'd be pirates galore
A man stood upon the mast of his ship looking out towards a dock that was steadily coming into view. He looked down and jumped off the mast and into the boat and begins to scoop water out of it to slow it from sinking. He lifts his head momentarily and notices three skeletons hanging from an arch with a sign stating 'Pirates ye be warned' he sighs softly before saluting them and continuing to remove water from his boat. As he reaches the port he climbs back onto the mast to avoid being in the sinking portion of the boat and rides the slowly sinking boat into dock. The sinking boat finally came to a halt and the man stepped right off the mast and onto the dock. He strolls down the dock and past the harbormaster thus catching the man's attention.
" Hey. Hold up there, you. It's a shilling to tie your boat up at the dock. And I shall need to know your name." The man turned to him and they both directed their gaze at the sunken boat the only thing being visible was the mast the man had been standing on moments before. The man turned back to the harbormaster and dropped three shillings into the man's logbook, "What do you say to three shillings and we forget the name?" The man looked down at the shillings in his book and back at the man who was dressed in a long leather jacket with a matching hat on top of his head. A vest was visible underneath the coat and a white shirt was visible beneath the vest. He had on some pants with what appeared to be leather boots, 'This man is a pirate!' the harbormaster thought to himself but smiled and closed his book. "Welcome to Port Royal Mr. Smith." The man smiled and tipped his hat before turning around and continuing his stroll down the dock, only stopping briefly to slyly pick up the money pouch the harbormaster had carelessly left lying around.
The man made his way towards another section of the port where he could see large ships resting at the dock. As he tried to get past the two guards on the dock he was stopped by the first one. "This dock is off limits to civilians." The man stared at the guard for a few seconds before speaking," I'm terribly sorry. I didn't know. If I see one I shall inform you immediately." He tried to continue but was stopped again, he sighed to himself and spoke up quickly," Apparently there's some sort of high toned fancy to do up at the fort eh? How could it be that two upstanding gentlemen like yourselves did not merit an invitation?" The one guard smiled proudly, "Someone has to make sure this dock stays off limits to civilians." The man nodded, "It's a fine goal to be sure but it seems to me that a ship like that makes this one here a bit superfluous really." Both guards turned toward the ship he had pointed to and he managed to shift slightly towards his goal as they observed it. The first guard spoke up, "Oh the Dauntless is the power in these waters true enough but there's no ship that can match the Interceptor for speed." The pirate smiled," I've heard of one supposed to be very fast nigh uncatchable the Black Pearl." The second guard shook his head," There's no real ship that can match the Interceptor." The first guard turned to him," The Black Pearl is a real ship." The second guard shook his head and argued back, "No, no it's not."
The first guard turned fully to him, "Yes it is I've seen it." The second guard looked at him," You've seen it?" "Yes." The first guard responded. The second guard shook his head, "You haven't seen it." The first guard nodded his head," Yes I have." The second guard rolled his eyes, "You've seen a black ship with black sails that's crewed by the damned and captained by a man so evil that hell itself spat him back out?" The first guard blinked, "No." The second guard sighed, "No." The men had been so caught up in their arguing that they hadn't noticed the man had slipped away while they bantered. The first guard sighed in defeat before speaking up again," But I have seen a ship with black sails." The second guard narrowed his eyes, "Oh? And no ship that's crewed by the damned and captained by a man so evil that hell itself spat him back out could possibly have black sails therefore couldn't possibly be any other ship then the Black Pearl. Is that what you're saying?" The first guard thought for a few moments before nodding his head and replying, "No." The second guard sighed and turned back to the now empty space, "Like I said there's no real ship as can match the Interceptor." At that moment both guards noticed the man had slipped past them and was now at the wheel of the Interceptor. They ran to the ship shouting at him the entire way but the shouts had no real effect on the man.
"You don't have permission to be aboard there." One of the guards spoke. The man smiled, "I'm sorry. It's just that…it's such a pretty boat. Ship!" The first guard rolled his eyes, "What's your name?" The man's smile grew wider, "Smith or Smithy if you like." The second guard narrowed his eyes suspiciously, "What's your purpose in Port Royal Mr. Smith?" The first guard nodded his head, "Yeah and no lies." The man sighed and responded, " Well, then, I confess, it is my intention to commandeer one of these ships, pick up a crew in Tortuga, raid, pillage, plunder and otherwise pilfer my weasely black guts out!" The first guard glared at him, "I said no lies!" The second guard rolled his eyes, "I think he's telling the truth." The first guard shook his head, "If he were telling the truth he wouldn't have told us." The man smiled and replied, "Unless, of course, he knew you wouldn't believe the truth even if he told it to you."
-To the Fort-
The newly appointed Commodore Gangrel approached Adam and his father and smiled at them both. He turned to Adam, "May I have a moment?" The pair walked up to the platform and stood in silence for a few moments. "I suppose you have not heard the news?" the Commodore asked. Adam cocked an eyebrow and shook his head, "I have heard nothing. My father rarely tells me important things I often forget them." The Commodore nodded his head, "Well there's some important news that you need to know…..we are arranged to be married." Adam stared at him for a few moments before he shook his head, "That's not funny Commodore." The Commodore took a step closer to him, "I'm being serious here Adam." Adam shook his head, "I'm with someone. I have been for years." The Commodore sighed, "I'm sorry but you must forget about them." Adam stood there absolutely shocked, forget about his lover? Memories of the years they had spent together went flying through his head, from when they were little all the way up until this morning. He remembered one time when they were younger he had fallen out a tree and cut open his chin and Jay had patched him up while Adam sobbed over how angry his dad would be. Then he remembered the first time Jay had kissed him, they had been sitting outside on the dock looking out at the ocean and the slightly younger male had all of a sudden grabbed Adam's chin and kissed him like his life depended on it. Even the memory of the first time they had been intimate went through his mind, how gentle Jay had been with him, his touches and caresses, his soft whispers and the way they had snuggled with each other after. Adam had been so caught up in his own memories he hadn't noticed that the Commodore had wrapped his arms around him and was squeezing him tightly. Adam shook his head and shoved the Commodore hard away from him, "No!" The Commodore sighed, "Adam don't make me do this." Adam shook his head and backed away from the Commodore, forgetting that there was a small wall behind him. "Now Adam please be reasonable." The Commodore said. Adam shook his head and took one more step back and tripped over the wall sending himself plummeting down to the ocean below.
-Back to the Interceptor-
"And then they made me their chief." The pirate spoke as he told his story to the two guards, whose names he learned were Barreta and Croft. He was pulled from his story by a yell and looked up to see a person falling to the ocean below. They hit the water hard and began to sink to the bottom and the pirate looked from the water to the two guards sitting with him. "Will you be saving them?' he asked. Croft shook his head, "I can't swim." The pirate glanced over at Barreta who sheepishly looked at him, causing the pirate to shake his head, "Pride of the King's Navy you are." He stood and stripped himself of his jacket and removed his effects from around his waist and handed them to the guards. The last thing he removed was his hat as he shoved it into the guard's chest he warned, "Don't lose those." He dived into the water and swam to the bottom where he spotted the body of what appeared to be a blonde man slowly settling itself to the bottom. The necklace that was around the man's neck was floating up and vibrated for a few seconds before it pulsed and sent out a sonic like boom into the water. The pirate reached the man's body and wrapped an arm around him and dragged him to the surface and towards the dock where Barreta and Croft were waiting. They helped him to lift the man's body above the dock and to Barreta's surprise the man was not breathing. " He's not breathing!" the guard shouted to which the pirate rolled his eyes and shoved the man out of his way as he applied pressure to the man's chest in an attempt to get him to cough up the water he had most likely swallowed. Suddenly the man's body had convulsed and he was rolled onto his side so he could cough up the water and that's when the medallion fell from his shirt. The pirate noticed it immediately and grabbed it in his hand before he let his gaze travel to the terrified man's face, "Where did you get that?"
"Away from him!" was heard and the pirate jumped up and threw his hands up in surrender. A sword was pointed in his face and he gave a soft chuckle. Adam stood up quickly and stood next to his father, "You don't really intend to kill the man who saved me?" The sword was lowered from the pirate's face and the Commodore stuck his hand out, "I believe thanks are in order." The pirate stared at him briefly and then stuck out his hand and they shook. The Commodore grabbed the wet sleeve barely covering the man's wrist and pulled it up to reveal a P burnt into the man's skin. "Had a brush with the East India Trading Company did we pirate?" Governor Copeland shook his head, "Hang him!" The Commodore smiled, "Keep your guns on him men. Someone fetch me some irons." He pulled the sleeve up the rest of the way revealing a tattoo of a skull with small angel wings coming from it(1). "Well well, Chris Sabin isn't it?" Chris glared at the man, "Captain Chris Sabin thank you." The Commodore laughed, "I don't see a ship anywhere Captain." Croft stepped forward now, "He said he'd come to commandeer one." Barreta stepped forward now, "I told you he was telling the truth. These are his sir." And he handed over Chris' effects. The Commodore handed them to a guard and began to exam them, "No additional shots or powder, a compass that doesn't point north", he unsheathed the sword and held back a laugh, "And I half expected it to be made of wood." He shook his head, "You are no doubt the worst pirate I've ever heard of." Chris smiled, "But you have heard of me."
The pirate was put in irons and Adam began to panic, "Father I really must protest." Adam was just ignored and he let a growl escape his lips, "Pirate or not this man saved my life." The Commodore laughed, "One good deed is not enough to redeem a man of a lifetime of wickedness." Chris let out a short laugh, "Though it seems enough to condemn him." The Commodore sneered at Chris and turned his back and at that moment Chris took the opportunity to throw the irons around the Commodore's neck and slam their heads together. The Commodore was knocked unconscious and fell into the water and the guards charged him. Chris laughed as he dodged them left and right, throwing punches and tripping others as he made his way to the one that had his effects. Halfway there he noticed the man he had saved standing there and threw the irons around his neck, "Nobody move." All the guards stopped and Adam began to struggle against the man, "It'd be wise for you to stop." Chris hissed into his ear. Adam stopped and Chris smiled, "My effects gentlemen if you please?" The guard holding his things stepped forward and handed them to Adam. "Now if you'd be so kind boy." Adam growled and turned around plopping the hat upon Chris' head. Next he wrapped the belt around his way and tugged hard causing Chris to chuckle, "Easy on the goods boy." Adam rolled his eyes, "You're disgusting." Chris laughed, "Sticks and stones love, sticks and stones. I saved your life you saved mine, we're even. "He spun Adam around and began to back up as the guards slowly took steps forward, "Gentlemen you will always remember this as the day that you almost caught Captain Chris Sabin." With that he shoved Adam forward and slammed his foot down on the lever next to him and quickly grabbed the rope, which hoisted him into the air and began to spin him around. Chris began to yell as the guards below him began to shoot and he managed to swing himself into the top of the beam the rope had been attached to. He looked around as several guards were now making their way towards him from the fort and spotted a rope which ended in the town. He threw his irons over them and slide down the rope landing on his feet and bolting away into the small town of Port Royal.
