The large ship rocked back and forth as a storm brewed above. From the hold, Brutus could see a faint light, but otherwise it was completley black. "Uggghhh,, where am I?" He had been in a tavern just off shore after the ship he was in fought off a band of ruthless pirates. He went to move but found he was lashed to a support beam and had a leather collar on that had some sort of tag. "Where am I!! What happened!!"
-
Else where on a rogue pirate ship, with sails open and the wind in their favor they speed through the waters approaching an enemy vessel, "Captain! The ship is just in sight, should we prepare to take action?!"
Spinning the wheel with a grin and laugh, "Aye!! Prepare to fire you dogs!!! More speed!!!", Popping his neck can here the bells of the vessel getting ready, "This should be promising..." Laughs as the ship inches closer and closer.
-
The ship creaked and moaned. Brutus continued to yell out with no response. From a crack in the wall he could see a small amount of light. But somthing blocked it out, sending him into complte darkness. "WHY WILL NO ONE ANSWER!!??"
-
"Hehe, all cannons!!! PREPARE TO FIRE!!!" yelling as the ship gets closer seeing the people on board scrambling about shouting, laughing as he leaves the wheel and another person takes it, "Aim for the sails, and take out those cannons!!"
"Captain Lars! It's a Prisoner ship!" snickering to himself, and loading his pistol, "Well then! Let us say hello to some friends!!" as the ship gets closer and the vessel is within range, "SHOW THEM HELL!!!" with that order all cannons open fire taking out the main sail and a few cannons.
-
Not too far away brutus heard cannon fire. "What the..." He couldn't finish because at that point a cannon-ball blasted throug the hull, knocking him out cold.
-
"It ain't going no where now Capt.!" as a roar of celebration for a perfect shot, the captain laughs with them, "Alright!!! Bring her about and PREPARE TO BOARD!!"
The ship sails around and then comes to a stop, all the pirates toss hooks getting it and keeping it from drifting away, "Now... SEND THEM TO HELL!!! AND BRING ME THEIR CAPTAIN!!! alive...", most of them jump across and fight the naval forces.
-
When Brutus came to, their was shouting and fighting on deck. He jolted as the ship reached the end of the lines streching across between. He felt his bodily functions failing as he moved in and out of consiosness. The shouting turned into white noise and his vision blurred. "Wha....who...." The support beam he was tied to broke and he stumbled foward, Landing on his face. He looked up and saw another large beam fall, landing on his chest. I knocked all of the air outta him. Soon two dark figures lifted him by his armpits.
-
"Heh, poor fools don't even stand a chance...", taking aim and killing a man trying to flee, "Make sure you check every barrel and room,
-
Brutus felt himself being dragged on to the top deck. His feet dragged on the stairs and he was thrown to the ground. He heard some gunshots and swords. His face splattered with a warm liquid.
-
Watching as the rest of the soldiers die off one by one, "Lets finish up here!!!"
after all were killed the crew holds their hostages in a line with their swords on their necks,
-
Brutus, now awake, was at the end of the line. He spat at the capitan and said "you cowards. You cannot even pillage without killing many innocent lives" he spat again and struggled against the ropes he was bound by. "If you were an honerable person you would allow me to fight you, sword to sword"
-
Struggling to hold him down laughs, "Oh! he's got some fire in his belly Capt." looking over and with a smile walks over and snickers, "You should be thanking me sonny, where your going is hell on earth... besides they have been killing our kind for decades." squats down to eye contact, and smiles, "As if somebody like you could prove anything?"
-
"Prove anything?!! You just destroyed a english ship, killed most of my crew, looted the ship, and are now holding me and whats left of my crew hostage. What is there to prove!?" He continued to struggle and glared at the capitain. He tried to reach into his pocket to grab his pistol....
-
Snickers as he stands up holding the pistol, standing up and takes a step forward, "Hehe, you may have a trained body..." stops and folds arms, "But your nothing but a yellow bellied coward, and you ain't got it in you... I know just by looking at yah!!", the whole pirate crew laughs, watches the shaky crew member.
-
"Nothin in me?" He leaned back away from the capitan. "The only thing you have in you is a mouth full of rotted teeth" he tried to break loose once again. He went to sprint tward the capitans quarters but was stopped by two pirates. "I cannot be stopped."
-
Reaching out and grabbing the collar of his shirt throws him back, "Alright....boy.... lets see if you can back those words up.", taking off his hat and coat reveals a riddled body scars and wearing an eye patch, popping his neck takes a fellow pirates sword and toss it to the ground with him, soon draws his blade with one side razor sharp, and the other side having a saw blade look as the points go down to the hilt.
"Stand up, sonny... and try to hold back, I'd hate to be disappointed..."
-
Brutus snikered. "This is some cheap equiptment, but i guess its all you dirt-bags could afford" he pocked up the sword and prepaired himself. "Lets make this quick, I gotta get back to my country.."
-
"The name is Captain Cervantes Lars... the last name you will ever know and you will beg for death... but before I end your life, what country do you wish to even go back too?" takes a stance and laughs.
"This so called crew you support, was the one that torched and destroyed it all, not even the children lived through it, so again who's side are you on?"
-
"Im Exavior "Brutus" Hamlin, leader of the English armada. Ranked as the first commanding officer by the queen herself!" He lunged the sword point first tward his opponents chest, aiming att his heart.
-
With a grin grabs the blade with his left hand which he wearing an iron gauntlet, and pulling it upward deals a head bud to Brutus, knocking him back, the crew backing up to give them more room pulling the hostages back, "You have good stance and your lunge is impressive, but you lack strength and purpose..."
tapping the sword on the ground in a mocking manner, waves hand towards himself, "Care to try again?.......boy...."
-
Brutus stood, realing from the last hit. In his blind rage he stood and sprinted at his opponent, slamming the butt of his sword into the opposing capitans eye patch "My PURPOSE is to free my crew and destroy this peice of crap you call a boat..."
-
With a wide grin turns sideways but gets his eye patch ripped off, with a quick twist trips up Brutus into a stack of barrels, "Following a cause like that..." puts sword away and crosses arms with his eye exposed being black and the color being red (his other eye is a normal brown), "Will surely get you killed."
"Heh, your nothing more than a child with a sword... unfocused, wild, and the naval forces bitch..." laughs and gets serious now.
-
"You are nobody, a filthy, homeless man with a haphazard crew and a load of lumber you call a "ship" I wouldn't stay here if I was payed. I would rather die than stay with this un-bathed group of people." He turned and grabbed the sword, slashing at the mast and stuck the sword their. Reaching into his pocket he pulled out a rolled cigar and a match, lighting the end and taking a few puffs.
-
Pulls out pistol and shots the cigar out of Brutus' mouth spinning it in his hand than back around his belt, "Is that how you really think of us really? The sea is our home, all these men joined by their own, pulling their own weight and earning their own share... which is more than what you probably make in a year..."
Walking around Brutus with the crew moving supplies to their ship taking the hostages too, pops knuckles and grins, "Besides you should be grateful for me leaving you alive... I'm about to make you a deal... or would you like to continue this pointless fight, you know you can't win."
-
Brutus spit out the rest of the ciagar. "That cost me 15 pounds!" He leaned in, suddenly interested "a deal you say? Im listening..."
-
Snickers and yawns, "You seem to be able to handle yourself and certainly have a fire in your eyes..."
"And we could always use more worthy fighters with skill, so how would you like to join us..." picking up hat, crosses arms, besides you really have no home left..." turns around and hops on the boat ledge, "Where do you think this ship came from, and why you got a knot on your head?"
-
Brutus remembered back to the fire..."alright...fine. I will join your crew. As long as you got a good supply of ale." He fixed his collar. "Oh, and I cannot be known as Brutus, the english will have a bounty on my head soon enough."
-
Laughs and places coat on shoulders, "Bounty? hehe!" suddenly the whole crew burst out into laughter, "That will be the least of your worries my friend!", Jumps over and lands on the deck of his ship, "Trust me when I say this..." Snickers and proceeds to the wheel, "And I forget to mention, the ale is something ou earn... but rum? is every day!!!"
"Prepare to set sail!!!"
-
"Alright" he turned to his old crew who was in shock at the desition that was just made. He looked at the boat, now destroyed and with little left keeping them afloat. "well...i think you can pull yourself out of this mess." he hopped to the next boat and began to pull up the sails and prepair the boat for launch.
-
As the ship takes off catching some wind the other ship slowly sinks, "We have to make up for lost time! ALL SAIL!!!" the crew scrambles about quickly, "Lets find that treasure then..." and spins the wheel turning the ship.
"For I am!!! CAPTAIN CERVANTES LARS!!! THE BEAST OF THE EASTERN SEAS!!!"
-
(Hope you don't mind if i butt in here)
As the other ship sails off into the distance, a ship with black sails marked by crossed blue swords in front of a shield, sails towards the wreck.
"Damn!!! Sir, the ship appears to have been sunk." a fox clad in a dark grey tunic reports to the master of the ship, a hulking wolf with purple eyes and black fur. The wolf turns from the railing of the ship and stares at the fox while placing a hand on his sword, he stares deep into the fox's eyes and replies in a deep and menacing voice, "Do you think I Have time for such pointless observations hirvan? If the ship that just faded over the horizon indeed was the same that sunk the prison ship, we must make all haste to catch it. Prepare my vessel for speed, war, and glory. I want this corvette of war to be within cannon range of the other ship by sundown two days from now, and have her within range of the forward long nines battery tomorrow, do i make myself clear?"
Hirvan quails under his gaze and quickly salutes and says, "Yes sir!" before dashing off to rely his captain's orders. The wolf pulled his deep blue cloak about him and gazed at the horizon where the other ship had vanished. "Ten years I've hunted you, and you manage to slip through my fingers once more. My Justice will be served to you, in the form of a cannon loaded with explosive grapeshot, Exavior Halmin. The Dark Admiral comes for YOU!!!" The wolf shouts to horizon where the other ship vanished. Admiral Orion Darkstorm turned his back and set about ordering his ship for combat and the culmination of twelve years of hatred and exile.
-
After a day and half of sailing, the ship and crew finds themselves at a near by port after taking down the pirate signature skull and crossbones, the ship actually blends in aside from the crew, "Alright you mutts!! Have your fill of ale and woman for we sail at noon!"
With a laugh walks over to the captain quarters opening the door, "Have fun!! That is an order!!!" grins and walks in slamming doors, while the crew go crazy some going on land to about their busyness and others staying on board to curl up and drink.
"A successful heist and plunder, deserves a reward? No?" taking a seat takes off hat talking to the captain of the ship sunk,
-
"It couldv'e been worse I guess..." He felt quite small compared to this large brute of a man, he still had his capitains uniform on.
-
The Frigate Vendetta lay in wait around the peninsula, ready to go into combat at a moments notice. Her sails were back to their normal solid black color, and the flags were changed to the solid black with red lighting in a red circle of Admiral Orion. The crew stood ready at their stations, cannon primed and ready-to-fire. A select group of sailors gathered on deck with the admiral. All were in dark grey tunics, and Orion wore a silver cape with his tunic, armed to the teeth, and ready to fight or negotiate. They all went ashore to the town, and then to the ship of Captain Lars. The dozen men halted on the dock and Orion stepped forward, "Permission to come Aboard?" he called towards the ship.
-
"Hmmm... seems we have guests." Standing back up leaves his weapons and coat on the chair, stepping through the door quickly, squints from the sun light, "Who goes there?", hopping up onto the ships ledge and grabbing onto the rope ladder looks down at the strangers, "Huh, state your business if you even have any?"
With a grin his tail swings around holding a bottle of rum, taking a swig without even grabbing it, "Well?"
-
"We have come to speak with you, and a member of your crew if he is available." Orion calls in reply as he crewmen wait around restlessly. "Would you have a crewman by the name of Exaviour Hamlin, also known as "Brutus"? I am Orion Darkstorm, Captain Cervantes Lars, it will be much much simple for you to tell me the truth on the matter."
-
Brutus stepped up "I am here! What is your problem?"
-
Orion smiles and looks up at Brutus. he grins evilly and motions to his men. "You are." he says as he draws his blade and his men pull out their weapons. one of them fires a large pistol up, it actually is a flare gun. the flare is the signal for the Vendetta to attack. Orion and his men swarm up the ladder, the soldiers occupy the crew members on duty, insuring the admiral a private fight. Orion draws his blade and squares off with brutus. "I have waited twelve years to repay you for my defeat at you hands, my resulting exile, my expulsion from my country's navy. I will end you, for you have ended me in all sense of teh word. DIE!!!" Orion lunges at brutus with his sword.
-
Watching the surprise attack snickers and looks off in the distance as his ship does nothing, turning about as he lunges at Brutus, dives out and lands a solid right hook across Orion, as he tumbles down Lars stands tall and grins, "Seems your so called attempt at a fight is failing... miserably." pointing over to the Vendetta as smoke and fire are visible.
"Seems you underestimated my crew... and my connections...", Grins as another ships drops anchor next them, a smiling pirate waves holding one Orion's men at gun point as he is on his knees and hands behind his head bleeding from a head injury, "Why does it not surprise me that you are always near when needed!?" smiles at the raccoon Captain Jango the Black Tide Hunter, "I guess I'm buying rum today, huh!?"
Laughs as his friend nods, looking over at Orion, "This is my ship... and my crew... you got a problem your gonna have to talk to me first!" crossing arms and grunts, "Last chance... leave now."
-
wiping the blood from his nose, Orion sheathes his blade and steps close to the rail. (I was gonna give in, but Axel F is playing on my comp at the moment, so.... SCREW IT) "Congratulations Captain Lars, you have successfully taken my prize freighter. As I planned." Orion pulls out an incendiary grenade and lobs it at the Vendetta, it bounces into the middle gun deck and explodes. the whole ship goes up in a massive fireball.
seven ships with pure black sails round the headland and enter the harbor, five are frigates carrying more than 90 cannon each, the other two are massive long three decked battleships with over 250 cannon.
-
Looks over and smiles, "Only seven? how insulting...but alas you are breaking the code and I do wish you to call them off." walking over to the ships ledge yawns and leans, "These are safe grounds for us..."
Rango rubs arm and still hold gun at the crew members head, "He must really be new here huh?"
"If it's a grudge he has and wants war for... this ain't the place for it."
-
(slowly comes out of barrel and sees men running by hides back in... hearing them vanish pops back up out of barrel lands but stumbles.) "hiding "hick" in a rum barrel was not the "hick"...best idea i've had. but fun." (looks left sees a man sitting staring at him.) :o "oops. g'day to you."(i tip my hat slowly turn around and run for the door. opening the door sees the man running and i say.) "door id like you to meet my friend."(i slam the door in his face and his head smashes though.) "smashing yes. well tally ho." (i run for the upper deck i stumble and flip over the side landing on one of maguses men.) "oh pardon me do you know the way to the rainbow."hahahaha (i laugh rolling of the k.o.ed fox. seeing a lot of men i say.) "oh yay a party.
-
"well then, you are right. this harbor is no place for a fight, not enough room for the "Revenge" in here. As for my men,'*pulls out a pistol and shoots the man rango was holding at gunpoint*"screw 'em, i got more than you think." *jumps over the rail and swims to the nearest frigate and calls for his ships to pull out* "AND HERE'S A PARTING GIFT!!! FIRE A FULL BROADSIDE!!!" the frigates fire a full broadside each that heavily damages all ships in the harbor besides themselves and the two battleships that have already pulled out.
"IF YOU JUST GIVE BRUTUS TO ME, I HAVE NO NEED TO HARM YOU!!! WE WILL WAIT AT DEVIL'S SANDS!" Orion calls from the rear of a frigate as his ships sail over the horizon to the tiny island of devil's sands.
-
Getting back up from the attack sighs and brushes of pieces of the ship, "That fool has nothing more than a death wish... and he is gonna regret that choice shooting his cannons here, cause now he has started a war with this whole island."
"Captain the ship is lost and Lord Issac wants to speak with you..."
"Eh! Oh great here we go again..." walking over to Brutus who was knocked down, "Come on, Your gonna meet somebody very important." extends hand.
-
see a man pick up a man) "wonder were they are off to. OH lets go see!" (as i get up and make my phancy clothes seem old and beet like a pirates.) well this will worck no time to get in character." (picks up pistol and a sword.) "oh a cigar! this will go great!" (walking 22 meters behind as to not avoid attention.) when the 2 get to where they are going i sit at a table and write a letter to magus.) ::there seems to be another person of interest that this Cervantes knows of. i will investigate and keep silent. till you give further orders.:: (a wrong kit walks by.) young lad can you take to the mail house. "why sure....4coin.."
ahh a young but wise man you are here you go. "thanks. it'll be there before you know it." greatly appreciated, thanks
(i then walk 2 blocks from the building and start climbing the roofs and i find a sky light and i lay close to it as to hear the conversation inside.)
-
Orion waits aboard his flagship, the "Revenge", and writes his memours.
"It has been a long journey indeed. 12 years since my brother blew my ships out from under me at haper's(hap-ers) cape. I have not told him, not even left any clue for him, as to our relation, how we were seperated at birth. I regret that he has thrown his lot in with cervantes, now I cannot return with him to Kul Tiras, for he would be executed for piracy. Perhaps... No, he will never allow it, I have given him the impression that he is my mortal enemy. I may have over-stepped my bounds by attacking the harbor however, cervante's ship is lost but he said that that was not the place for it. A pirate that does not wish to fight? The must be a greater power at work here. I do not think that any force can overcome my fleet. The dark fleet at his time has the following ship as its flagship at this time:
Revenge
Class: Heavy Battlecruiser
Cannon: Demi-cannon, Bombard, Autocannon, Saker, Mortar, and Demi-culverin
Number of Cannon: 650
Decks: 5 [Topside(center deck 6)] [poopdeck deck 7]
Crew: 1600- 1050 saliors, 550 mairnes
speed: (high wind) 35 knots (low wind) 20 knots
The fleet also has 12 frigates and 4 battleships in adttion to 14 brigs and 7 brigatines. we rule the waves in this sea, nothing can challenge the full fleet, not even the english navy. Even if the dark fleet were overcome, whomever accomnplished this feet woulf be forever at war and on the Run from Kul Tiras's navy. I hope my brother does not become or throw his lot in with whoever does this."
Sighing, he stands up and paces about his cabin. He hopes that he can accomplish what he set out twelve years ago to do, that whole display at the harbor was nothing but a precursor to the main event. Insane he is, but Orion does have a just cause.Nothing will stop him, nothing at all.
