Ziar jumped aboard."Ah my good old ship."

*singing hoist the colors and drinking rum*"The king and his men stole the queen from her bed....and bound her in her bones. The seas be ours and by the powers where we will we'll roam. Yo, ho, haul together hoist the colors high heave ho, thieves and beggars never shall we die. Some men have died and some are alive And others sail on the sea with He keys to the cage and the Devil to pay we lay to Fiddler's Green
The bell has been raised from it's watery grave do you hear it's sepulchral tone We are a call to all, pay head the squall and turn your sail towards home.

Well men lets head off towards a new adventure filled with gold and rum.

"I'm so bored...when do we have some fun.." Darren grumbled.

Gramps laughed."As soon as we get our heading."

Lulu jumped down from the crows nest and landed in front of Darren."We could go down stairs and have some funn right now."

Ziar laughed."Heh be careful if you take her offer Darren. Or at least make sure you can out drink her." he laughed.

"I know her tricks...and i could drink all night..." Darren said laughing, " but i was talking about something else..." he added cracking his knuckles.

Xanks drew his swords."If your looking for a fight I can provide a beating."

"Now now Xanks don't go killing any of the crew." said Ziar.

Xanks smirked."Don't worry I'll beat him within a inch of his life."

Ziar laughed."Well that should be more then enough for him to survive."

"I wouldn't bet on that.." Darren said smiling from behind him with a kunai to the back of his neck.

Ziar chuckled."You shouldn't under estimate my first mate."

Xanks jumps and dose a back flip spin over Darren's head and lands behind him and holds his left sword to the right side of Darren's neck and the right sword to the left side."Heh you'll have to do better then that."

"Really now..." Darren said smiling as he glanced down to show he was holding his scythe to Xank's crotch.

Xanks laughed."You really think you'll be able to use it be for I sever your head from your body?!"

Gramps pulled Xanks off of Darren."Stop your whining like children and get the ship ready to sail. Before I whoop both your asses."

Ziar laughed."The old man has a point ready the ship for departure I will be back in a moment I have something to deal with before we sail." with that said he disappeared.

"You might want to check that...I thought there was something there but when I stabbed I hit air.." Darren said glancing at the hole from the scythe laughing as he walked away.

Ziar reappears."Well then are we ready to set sail?"

Gramps smacked Xanks in the back of the head."Host the sail boy."

"Yeah yeah old man." Xanks grabed the rope and hoisted the sail."

"Lulu hows the weather looking?" said Ziar

"Perfect sailing weather Captian since theres a storm coming." said Lulu

"Aye just how we like to sail. Against the weather." Ziar said chuckling abit.

Xanks took the helm."Where to Captain?"

Ziar thought for a moment."Humm....how about we go to dead mans cove and get all the treasure lying at the bottom of the sea."

"Aye Captain."Xanks turned the helm.

"That sounds boring...why don't we raid a navy ship or something..." Darren muttered walking up beside Ziar.

"Sounds more like your scared of the tales of ships suddenly sinking and people becoming zombies." Said Xanks

"Eh why don't we just raid one on the way." Said Lulu

"Back in my day we didn't argue with the Captains orders...kids these days.." Said Gramps

Ziar laughed."Stay on coarse and if we see any ships we'll raid them on the way."

"The zombie thing interests me anyway...I thought it was going to be boring..." Darren said laughing.

Ziar laughed."You think we would hunt for treasure in a place with no danger. hah we go to the most dangerous places we can find and we take the most dangerous routes too."

"Captain we're approaching the storm." yelled Lulu from the crows nest.

"Alright ya scurvy dogs get ready for a hell of a ride cause we're going straight through it."

*the Pheonix creaked slightly and rocked roughly and did more so the close they got to the massive storm.*

"Captain water spouts on the port side and huge waves head straight for us." said Lulu

"Excellent. sounds like perfect weather to sail in." said Ziar

Darren walked over to the side as the water spouts formed, "do you want me to handle these.."

"If ya want to try go for it." Said Ziar

Darren smiled reaching into his pouch and pulling several small pellets and dropping them into the water, "hold on..." he muttered as the exploded sending a wall of water cancelling the wave heading for them, "the water spouts aren't so much a problem unless a strong one hits us..."

"Uhh you do realize that wave wasn't the one to worry about right.."Said Xanks

*another wave twice the size of the first suddenly started to form from the ocean.*

"Eh give him a break his a land dweller he doesn't know how to read the ocean." Said Ziar.

"Yeah...not really...but that one I can't do anything about anyway...have fun with it Xanks." Darren stated smiling as he walked over to the main post and secured his weapons just in case the wave swept over the ship.

"...Lulu show this land dweller how we solve this problem."Said Xanks

"...what the hell you want me to do stab it away..." Said Lulu

Xanks sighed.

Ziar laughed. "I'll handle it." Ziar walked to the bow of the ship and got into the front cannon took a deep cleansing breath and said "FIRE!"

Gramps lit the cannon shooting Ziar towards the wave.

Ziar was shot beneath where the wave was heading and lit a tiny bomb that made a pathetic explosion and then he swam back to the ship and climbed back aboard."Welp that should do it."

"I'm guessing that's not all it does..." Darren said slightly confused.

Ziar laughed"How'd ya guess."

Suddenly another huge wave formed and took out the first.

"Because you are too flashy for something that dull..." Darren said laughing.

"Aye" said Ziar laughing

"All right....so when does the carnage start..." Darren asked cracking his knuckles.

"Right after you dodge that giant sea snake." said Xanks.

"Don't let it bite you you'll die almost instantly." said Lulu

"Thanks for tellen us what we already know Lu." said Ziar leaping backwards as the snake struck the deck.

Darren swung his blade gashing deeply into the beast and splattering everyone around with blood, "this is a start I guess..."

The snake whipped its tail hitting Darren and flinging him into the wall then the beast struck towards him.

"Oh no you don't" Ziar grabbed the beast's tail and held it back an inch form Darren's face while it snapped at him.

"Now it's fun..." Darren muttered pulling some of the chain attached to his whip loose and wrapping it around the snakes head pulling on it as it severed its head from it's body.

"Looks like we're having snake for dinner." said Ziar laughing

*the ship began to rock violently and parts of the ships haul and deck started to fly off.*

"Captain...I think you should look at this." said Lulu.

"What is it?" asked Ziar as he climbed into the crows nest.

"Here look" Lulu handed him the binoculars.

Ziar looked through them and saw a giant whirlpool."Xanks we gotta whirlpool ahead."

"Aye Captain." Xanks held the helm straight.

"...WHAT! ARE YOU NUTS! Xanks turn the ship or else we'll be sunk!" Lulu said with some fear in her voice.

Xanks laughed."And disobey the Captain..Nah I'll stay on coarse as he wishes."

"WHat! Ziar never said that...turn the ship before its to late." said Lulu frantically.

"Lu I have a question." said Ziar

"Yes Z." said Lulu.

"Have I ever put my crew in danger I felt they couldn't handle." asked Ziar

"Well no but Captain. We can't handle a whirlpool that size." said Lulu

Ziar sighed."Lu do you doubt me?" asked Ziar

Lulu paused for a moment then answered."No I don't."

Ziar smiled."Good. Xanks continue heading towards the whirlpool."

"This should be interesting..." Darren muttered kicking the snakes head away from him sending it sliding leaving a trail of blood.

The ship was dragged into the whirlpool and started swirling around.

Ziar pulled out his sword."Now those who would like to live I suggest you get ready for the kraken."

Lulu look puzzled."kraken? what are you talking about captain? "

"The kraken has been fallowing me even since I had a run in with Davy Jones and the best place to fight a kraken is in a whirlpool cause it won't be able to move as easy. now then PREPARE THE CANNONS AND YOUR ARMS Ladies and Gents we got a kraken to fight."
