The High Seas!

Hester smiled at Daiatier's comment about the girl called Rowan, she walked over to Rowan, "I can give you some pointers if you want to rope yourself a man", she chuckled. Hester made her way back to the bucket she had been using and just dumped the water out. "Well I'm hungry", she said as she stretched up and then returned the bucket to it place.

((sorry short post getting tired))

Leon smiled. "Yeah, I have a feeling that cannon of yours will be useful..." He said smiling. He then held out his hand to shake his, "You know my name, what might yours be?" He asked. It seemed his new found popularity would proceed him. "But between you and me, if the rumors are true we're going to need lots of help from lady luck..."

"What exactly are you doing doc?" Johnny asked with a pistol trained on where Alexanders temple would be. "Any particular reason you got your blade up against the my good friends back? If your going to threaten, at least look him in the eyes like a man, instead of being a yellow belly." Johnny said mockingly to the masked doctor. This guy was helpful earlier with little Finn, now he's threatening one of Johnny's good friends. He couldn't make heads or tails of it, but he kept a cool demeanor.

"I'm a member of this crew, now take your sword off my back, or you will blasted into smitherines" Daiatier said as he already had a grenado ready behind him. His fingers already on the tip. With a snap of his fingers, litterally, he would be able to blast this man who for some reason put a sword at his back. Daiatier was a patiant man, except when he was being threatened for no real reason

Hester went over to Johnny and put her hand over the barrel of the gun, "Johnny put it down love, talking with guns ain't gonna get us anywhere especially if he blows us all to hell and back", she said calmly and didn't even flinch. "Now Mr. Daiater would ya kindly explain why yer puttin that sword to that crew mates back", she gave a suspicious look at the skinny man. He was just hard to trust with the clothes, the mask, and gloves, he looked like a man lookin to hide something, and Hester didn't like it. But she was a reasonable person, more so than Johnny thats for damn sure.

Captain Finn quickly and expertly managed to, in a blur of motion, knocked every member involved the the situation on their ass. Even Leon. "Damnit Gramps!" Leon roared quickly returning to his feet. "Listen hard and well!" Isaac Fin roared. "Regardless of what may have happened off of my ship, it all stops when you cross the gangplank. We are a family on board my ship! I will not tolerate fighting!" Leon chuckled. He had heard the speech before, it was almost a Finn family motto. However, it did not constitute the need to beat his heir.

"Now what may i ask was the cause of our little problem here Mr. Alexander?" Captain Finn asked furiously. He would crack down on things like this. It would be vital to their survival....

*Click* The gun from one shipmate was aimed towards Alexanders own temple.
The man wondered what would happen. He never tried it before. Ain't gonna try now. Slightly cringed at the man calling the grenado expert a "good friend."

The intruder called himself a member of the crew but he just got on most probably right now.

Another shipmate, the woman from before. She had said "crewmate."

As Alexander was going to bring the blade down for questioning, the old man moved with such finesse the doc found himself on the ground, blade and sheath knocked high upwards into the air. The skeleton man didn't notice it at first.

"C-captain," He stuttered. "This man obviously came on right now and I simply thught he was someone who wanted me, purg-dead" He stopped himself from saying that word, because he himself knew he wasn't a blight. It wouldn't stop the premature church from trying though. Only at this point did he notice the blade that was in his hand was gone. Above him the blade spun in circles high up in the air, then came down in descension, while Alexander looked on the floor for it. To the disbelief, did he look up at the blade that had went through the smiley face mouth of his mask, till the purple handle stuck out. The skeletan man froze.

This would have killed any man. Not a man who's jaw was empty, as the blade passed through his actual open mouth. The purple sheath of the sword soon came down, hitting the mask and bouncing off in the floor. Alexander had no choice. If he played dead they would have definitly taken off his mask. There was no way of hiding it know. His right arm had been granted movement as it pulled out the sword, creating a sickening noise as the clean blade was slowly pulled out. The crew members watched with wide eyes as he walked to get his sheath, and pushed the blade back in it, creating the full purple cane again. Alexander walked toward the captain of the ship.

"Forgive my behavior, I shouldn't treat my family like this." Then he closed his eyes shut out his sight, brought his shoulders up and cringed.
Whatever they were going to do now-
*BAM*
Something just hit the side of the ship, the force drove everyone to take a step to balence themselves. Whatever rammed them, meant buisness.

Daiatier sat up and looked around "What in the name of the seven levia-" he then stopped when he saw it was a navy ship that hit them "Oh blasted hell it cant be" Daiatier said as he got up. He couldnt have followed me, could he, damn it all" He said as he looked over the side to see the mark of the saber. His fears where then realized

The shit that hit there side belonged to one of the ten god admirals of the navy. Cain "The Saber" LaReau. Daiatiers father. Cain stood there near the helm of the ship, his famous saber at his side, the uncanny resemblance between the two was remarkable. Cain was famous for his pirate hunting ways. But was also famous for being the only man to ever equal Isaac Finn in close combat.

"Ive doomed the crew" Daiatier said as he looked at his father and the navy ship which was preparing to board

When the ship lurched Hester grabbed onto Johnny to try not and fall over. But then she realized how close their proximity was. "And how are we this fine day Mr Fletcher", she in a seedy husky voice, that was seductive. She smiled up at the handsome young pirate waiting for a comment. When all of a sudden the apple barrel that Johnny had pulled an apple out of just some time ago, tipped over and a small young boy that looked to be about twelve rolled out of the barrel.

"Oof!, said the boy as he hit the deck, "Uh oh!", he said with a dazed look finally realizing he had fallen out of his hiding place. And the were being attacked the cause of his cover being blown, "Oh damn!", he cursed. Hester put her hand on her hip, "A boy your age shouldn't be talken like that", she said. The boy stood up and dusted himself off, "Speak for yourself old lady", he said in nasal tone of voice. "Old Lady!, you little rat I tell you what I'm only twenty years old, you little brat, I should throw you over board for that", she yelled while shaking her fist. "Right and I'm the Pope", said the young scamp as he put his hands on his hips.

Hester stopped herself from going over and pounding the little stowaway's head in with her fist. But as stubborn as this boy was she would only be hurting herself. The young man picked up an apple dusted it off on his shirt and took a bite, "Do you know how hard it was to not eat one of those apples while I was in there", he looked over at Hester who looked to be still fuming. "You know what lady your ugly when your angry", he said with a smirk. He walked over to Captain Finn, and then looked out at the ship that had just rammed the ship. "Well Cappin the names Sean McKinney at your service I'll be the best damn cabin boy you've even had.

Leon turned to the attackers and scowled. "We're a fishing vessel, how dare you attack us!" He roared. It might have been his head injury, but something clicked, and an evil idea was born. He quickly walked up to the side of the vessel and hurled every obscenity he knew. "You son of a fish whore I'm going to report you to Kevlar's high council! How dare you ram us, a simple fishing ship going out on a voyage" He roared. It was all true though, Grampa Isac had been careful to procure a fishing ship, made sure none of the modifications to include weaponry were noticeable, and had even go as far as to put the ship under his half brothers name. His grandfather quickly caught wind of his scheme and went to his cabin to hide after giving a soft order to sheath all weapons. They were going to take him down like pirates, meaning he wouldn't see any of it coming until Captain Finn was aboard the other ship. "I demand parley!*" Leon finished after hurling a billion other insults.

*In normal world sailory stuff Parley is only with pirates, However, in kevlar and it;s neighbors, Parley is a sacred term to everyone. Only the lowest of the low refuse it, and those who refuse to acknowledge it are said to be cursed by the Orcara, or the giant whale god of Atlantis.

"Forgive me, Captain Finn, I forgot that you gave up piracy a few years ago" Cain said as he walked on board the ship "Its just I found it strange that my son would board this vessal" Cain said. Cain was arrogant and he hated pirates, and he knew captain Finn, but he was more then smart enough to know how to respect a parlay "If possible I would like you to produce to me my son, his name is Daiatier LaReau. He looks just like me but younger. I wish to speak to him" Cain said looking captain Isaac Finn in the eyes, showing him respect, but also a notable flame of something that looked like rivallry burning in his eyes

Daiatier crept away from the area Cain had entered, Daiatier hadnt spoken to his father in years, he wasnt planning on it now

"Much better now Ms. Dawkins." Johnny answered the beautiful siren. He was going to say more, but a small boy rolled out of the barrel of apples he was eating from earlier. "That's the strangest apple Ive ever seen, heh." The cutthroat said comically. Though it seemed Hester was not as amused as Johnny was. He watched the back and forth between the boy who named himself Sean McKinney. This boy had a rather foul mouth to him. The boy reminded him of himself. But he insulted a lady and is a stowaway, and Johnny couldn't tolerate that.

"What do we have here? A stowaway?" Johnny said as he quickly grabbed one of his ankles and hoisted him into the air. Not high enough to eye level though, if this kid was anything like him, he would've spit in his mouth. "You know what we do to stowaways? We flog them, we cut them, then we drag them behind the ship as bait. Whaddya say cap...." When Johnny went to look at the Captain, he saw the man who had boarded. He immediately dropped the boy, did a 360, ran and then skidded the rest of the ways on his knees to the scrub and bucket that Hester was working with earlier. Johnny started scrubbing viciously. I hope to Orcara Pirate Bane Cain isn't looking for me! If he is, with my luck, I'll be on the gallows by nightfall!

Alexader quickly adjusted his mask, reilizing one of two things.
#1. No one noticed his little sword swallowing act or at least no one looked like they did, while concerned about #2.
#2. The navy had just busted them.

The skeleton man stood tall then fumbled at the sight of the child that had fallen out of an apple barrel.
Perfect. Just...great. Alex had regained his composure again as he saw one of the Finns shout out that this was a fishing ship.
Then nearly face palmed himself at his order for Parley. That's like argueing we're innocent but just said that we're guilty.
"Please, my new brother there is no need for a Parley of any sorts. We have done no wrong" The docter said rather calmly hitting his suit so the dust from the floor would come off of it.

"I presume you are the navy captain?" Alexander had said adjusting his small top hat, getting attention away from Leon. Only then did Alexander notice that the old man was gone, the same old man who had knocked the whole crew on their behinds.
"This is a family boat, for my little sister-" pointing over to Hester "-is to be with this fine man-" slapping on the shoulder of Leon as if they were of the bestest friends. "-and now we are on a voyage for some fish, buisness and possibly a chapel." He was a fine liar at that, so fine a liar that one thought might be he was telling the truth. "Oh Sean!" He said grabbing the little shoulder of the boy with his bony hand, covered with his gloves. He pressed the boy's shoulder with some force as a signal to shut up and listen.

"This here would be my boy. I thought maybe some open air would be aspiring in his youth." Alexander had said, in a rather cheerfull voice looking at the boy with his mask, which he seemed to get the message.

"So now that you know our personal lives, I seriously recommend you should find some pirates." The skeleton man let out again in a hoity-toity voice, a voice that definitly belongs to no pirate nor anyone who had even been a mile next to a pirate.

"I would assume so, but I have eye wittness accounts of a criminal who was stationed at the port, responsible for piracy, get on this ship. I'm just doing my duty seeing if that is true, and also I had heard reports of my son getting on this ship. Forgive me if I'm causing any trouble here" Cain said with a mocking bow as he began walking around on the ship. He looked over at the man scrubbing viciously. Red jacket, pistol at his back, harrness with six pistols. bandana with some green hair comming out of it, yep. He walked over slowly and looked down at the man, drawing his saber from his side and he placed the dull end at his chin

"Mr. Fletcher, apparently you made a big scene today. I'm afraid as my duty as a admiral of the seas of Kevlar, I need to take you in" He said as he looked down at Johnny.

Cain then moved back as soon as he could to avoid a small cannon ball that was shot toward him. He then looked over at where it came from and smiled\

"Hello son, its good to see you again" He said as Daiatier glared at him

"What about parlay?" Daiatier asked, his face showing anger and contempt

"I was doing my duty, you attacked me. I really didnt want this to come to this son, but I have to say I wanted another chance to fight Isaac Finn again. Men we are taking this ship" he ordered as he turned around and looked Isaac right in the eyes

Hester made as awkward face at, the doctor when he suggested such a thing as they being related. "He bleeden mad if he thinks that this little tale of his is going to go over this pirate hunter", she thought as she clung onto Johnny. She cursed herself for not bringing her sword up on deck with her. She didn't think she would need it yet, it just being the first day out and all, it didn't take an hour and someone was already trying to bust barnacles with them. She slid down Johnny's chest with both her hands then down his sides stopping at his waist. With one hand on his waist as she reached down into her boot for the only weapon she had on her what that was, was a short dagger. Pulling up once again sliding her hands up Johnny again keeping the dagger concealed.

"Mr. Fletcher, apparently you made a big scene today. I'm afraid as my duty as a admiral of the seas of Kevlar, I need to take you in" He said as he looked down at Johnny."Johnny we need to find a way for you to get the hell out of here", she said as she leaned her head onto his chest and breathed into his ear.

Cain then moved back as soon as he could to avoid a small cannon ball that was shot toward him. He then looked over at where it came from and smiled

"Hello son, its good to see you again" He said as Daiatier glared at him

"What about parlay?" Daiatier asked, his face showing anger and contempt

"I was doing my duty, you attacked me. I really didn't want this to come to this son, but I have to say I wanted another chance to fight Isaac Finn again. Men we are taking this ship".

"This guy is really starting to piss me off", Hester thought as she stared daggers through Cain. She hated these high and mighty Navy men who weren't much better than a pirate who thought that they could go around being the law. But there was one thing she really hated was a man who would talk to his own son like he was nothing but bilge water. Then she got a thought she breathed heavy into Johnny's ear again, "Johnny, love can I borrow one of yer pistols", she said reaching to one of his holsters. She may have not carried a pistol with her but Hester was a damn good shot and Cain wouldn't be speckting it.

It was at this moment the navy troops all got on board, armed with the best gear and ready to fight, Cain stepped forward and drew his saber "Hand over Johnny "Flintlock" Fletcher and my son Daiatier LaReau now and I will let this ship go, if not, I will arrest all of you, and I can assure you all will be hung by sunset, whats your choise eh?" he said looking around, ready for the comming battle

While the whole exchange Captain Isaac Finn was working a masterpiece that was for the textbooks. While Alexander crafted a cunning lie he had managed to sneak on to the other ship. After silently taking out the troops silently he had managed to gather up all of the barrels of gunpowder on ship and moved them up to the main deck. One green troop on the sea hawk with Cain managed to turn and see Captain Finn. "Captain!" he shouted before taking a punch in the gullet from Captain Finn. "Checkmate Cain!" Isac chuckled shooting one of the barrels on the admirals ship. They quickly exploded, leaving the ship sinking. Only the small force that had boarded with Cain were left. "Now then, I suggest a quick surrender..." Captain Isac said chuckling. Leon quickly drew his single shot pistol and aimed it dead at Admiral Cains eyes, "Move a muscle and I shoot." He said deathly serious. "Now Cain, I'm sure all of our past differences can be solved with my proposition, would you care to hear it?"

(Note, I appreciate the added plot twist, but if you're going to pull something like this again at least warn me ahead of time...)

"Isaac, dont you remember the last time you tried to shoot me, I think you still have the scar on your left thigh?" Cain said as he looked Isaac in the eyes "Why dont you ever learn I come prepared when dealing with you, remember, I was raised under you, remember, my Grampa Raymond, he was your best friend who you sold out to save your own god damned hide, Thats why I became navy soldier, to get payback on you. So why dont you give me a chance to do that, a duel, you and me, or are you getting a little too old to strain yourself, hell if you beat me, ill give you a free waters document and you can go anywhere with no issue from any navy ship" Cain said as three more navy ships approached

"Come on Issac, hell, if you want me to sweeten the deal even more, beat me, ill give you a pass and join your damn crew, then you can say you sailed with three generation of LaReau" Cain was dead serious, he showed no fear and looked Isaac in the eyes

Cain signalled the ships to stop "My ships wont attack, i had them with me in case I ran into something dangerous, you where a bonus Finn, duel me Isaac, show me why they say your the best" Cain said as the ships then signalled each other to stop. Cain was bold, and he wanted to duel the man he blamed for his fathers death, a man who he at one time he thought of as an uncle
