Captain Ty By: Captain Ty “Where’s Me Gold” Howard

I am Captain Ty. I wonder about dying. I hear gun shots. I see ships blowing up. I want booty. I imagine being left alone. I feel mean. I touch the Ocean water. I worry I’ll die in a battle. I cry about losing my crew members. I am angry. I understand if people die. I say, “Give me my booty!” I dream about my crew. I try to kill enemies. I hope to take the treasure. I am very demanding.

Captain Maggie Joller By: Scurvy Sarah “The Saber” Stefani

The Stories Begin

Bloody Scallywag By: Captain Jackson “Jack the Gentleman” Perry “Ahoy the ship is closing in master gunner get your men to the cannons and wait for my command or I’ll whip your backs to the bone.” “Boom the sound of the other ships cannons’ when they fired at our ship. “Ahoy first mate get the crew and throw the boarding hooks before the other ship comes back for another shot.” “Fire the cannon’s boom shiver me timbers we hit those sons of biscuit eaters.” “Men get all your cutlasses and tomahawks and boarding hooks and let’s kill these men and send them strait to Davey Jones’ Locker.” “Shoot the cannon’s fire!” Boom—the cannons sounded. “We hit them again! They went around us catch them or I’ll skin one of your backs with my whip and then put it in my sandwich. Throw the boarding hooks and get on the scallywags’ ship. Shoot them; they are trying to cut the ropes!” boom, boom--- the cannons went when we hit them,” walk across the rope and fight them to the death.” “Hay eddy get your brass knuckles and show those little people how to rally fight like a man.” “Ok caption Jackson I’ll crush those scallywag in the scull.” “I go down to the cannon room and right when I get down there a cannon hits my ship and I see some of my men get shards of splinters in them, and one of the splinters go right past my head and hits the guy behind me avast where is my surgeon” “Right here sir! Take these men to your cabin and take care of them. Yes sir! “ “Then I see the captain of the other ship and I quickly walk across the boarding hooks to him and I thrust my sword into his hart and then I take my hand and grab his heart and put his heart up to my mouth and eat it and I say that is for my men you killed. Then I jumped to my ship, and told my first mate to go around the ship and fire the cannons but we were too late the other ship fired and I then saw the wood of our ship brake and go into splinters.” We then fired our cannons the cannons blew into one of the men and the guts of that pirate made a horrible bloody mess.”

Then we saw out in the distance there were more ships “avast there are more enemy ship let’s take them down fire the cannons” boom went our cannons when we hit the mass of the other ship the trail of our cannons left holes in the other ship. The ship sank” ahoy we took down one ship let’s do the same to all of the other ships. “Then all the ships went around us and fired there cannons and at the same time we shot our cannons and the cannons hit us and we hit them the terror of the cannons around us made holes in our ship but we did not sink we shot a hole in one of the ships and it sank. But wail we were so busy looking at the ship that was sinking we did not notice that one of the other ships men got on our ship and they shot at us but missed and we then we un shethed our cutlasses and thrusted at them then they did the same they got there cutlasses out and thrusted at us.” “ I then got my gun while my men and the other pirates fought to the death and shot and I hit one guy in the head and after I did that the first mate of the other ship jumped at me with his cutlass and I then swung at him knocking him to the ground and I quickly got my gun and shot at him I missed he then hit my cutlass and gun out of my hand and he then thrusted his cutlass at me I then kicked at him, knocking his cutlass out of his hand and I then could reach my gun I only had one shot so I use it I shot him in the head and his brains were all over the place I then said “ “I love me some brains.” I got his gun out of his pocket and then shot more pirates but there was no more bullets left and then I got a cannon, aim at one of the pirates and shoot and I got lucky and shot two pirates. Then I shoot more of them with the cannons and then there was guts all over the place and I made my men lick it and I made them say they like it. But the battle was not over there was one more big ship left. “The ship was trying to go around us to shoot us. But it went the opposite direction and we fired our cannons first and we hit them, the other ships caption yelled at us.” you won’t get away with this you scallywag!” Then we yelled back. “Yes we will!” I yelled. “Then I yelled again to fire the cannons boom—went our cannons when we made a hole in the other ship.”

The Ship Battle of Death

By: Dastardly Dizzy Izzy “Shoot My” Bowen

As I went to bed the next morning me ship be frozen and we came among a big black old rusty ship upon us. “I’ve never seen this kind of ship before,” said captain Russian princess. “Son of a biscuit eater” said me 1st mate. “It’s time for war!” screamed me captain Russian princess. The ships were roaring and creaking the canons are blowing the powder monkeys are going back and forth with barrels full or gun powder. As the hell raised I commanded, “Pull out the white flag, we surrender.” said the captain Russian princess. Everyone came aboard. “I thought you would surrender you are two little son of a biscuit eater ha-ha!” Screamed Black Beard. “Ready boom” whispered captain Russian princess. The crew brought out each and every one of them got out a gun and fired everyone and pushed them over board “You tricked us you filthy pirate” said Black Beard. “Ha you fool do you really think that I would just give up a good fight just like that you thought wrong Black Beard good luck try next time ha!” Russian princess teased. The ship moved quickly and roared the ship left and the Black Beards ship followed “this fight isn’t over yet” said Russian princess to the crew the sails were flapping the flag was going out of control there was really hard heavy scary thunder and lightning was flashing every second the waves are rocking back and forth the waves are going out of control the waves are almost ten feet high and almost as tall as the ship as she screamed while they were getting poured on and almost getting shot by lighting while the Russian princess screamed out “ were going to crash we need to flee me boat go get the boats ready so that we can just jump on when we go down”. “ Russian princess I hope you have enough boats cause were going to have a fist battle if you don’t have enough room to carry your swords, canons, and axes cause we have enough room to be able to do that” said Black Beard “He’s wright” said Russian princess “no he’s not wright you need to think positive thoughts not negative thoughts we are going to win this battle weather he likes it or not cause were going to win this war and they’re

6 going to go down with his ship now if you’re going to say that again you might as well get slapped in the mouth now I suggest you stop” said dead shot. “You know what we are going to win this war either he likes it or not lets go kick some butt” said Russian princess the crew went off the boat. The crew found some island and put the anchor over board when the storm cleared down and they went and hide in the island waiting for a another battle with Black Beard and Davey jones teamed up to battle against the Russian princess and dead shot. So they were hiding in the trees while they big black ship appeared “Captain we have spotted a big black ship just like Black Beards ship I think were at war again” said dead shot. “Aye I guess were at war again (sighed) I guess those pirates never learned their lesson when I’ve already kicked there butt once sucks that I haft to do it again twice” said Russian princess. So the crew went to go make a deal with them so they went to go find them I guess they were hiding to because we went to go find them and go make the deal with them and I couldn’t find them I think they passed the island and thought that we didn’t hide in there. Then we heard the bushes rustle and we had out swords and guns and axes with us just in case to use it and yep sure enough Black Beard and Davey Jones came out of the bushes and they had no weapons and surprisingly no crew with them but I didn’t believe it I don’t think that they came unarmed and with no crew along “ who is with you Davey and Black Beard and what weapons do you have with you I don’t believe you even if you say no I came unarmed and no crew and wants to make a deal with you cause I’m going to say no no matter what you say it’s a no” said the Russian Princess. “I just wanted to say I want to leave you alone and not ever and I repeat never bother you ever again” said Davey Jones. “I don’t believe you at all you know you’re a really bad liar you know that right” said Russian princess. Sure enough they didn’t come alone but no weapons but I’m pretty sure they have a dagger around here somewhere and it’s going to be a pretty nasty fight I swear it. Davey Jones was just standing there puzzled he started to bending over slowly he reached into his sock pocket and brought out a dagger I was right he does have something he’s not dumb well maybe a little but nope not by a lot but just a little “ do yerr think I was dumb ye thought

7 wrong” said Davey Jones so Davey Jones took a swing at him and he cut a little of the princesses shirt off and he kept just staring at her shirt then she brought out an axe and swung it over to his neck and put him in a head lock and made the axe stick up from the ground. Then my 1st mate came along 2nd Captain Z and said “good work you’re really beautiful when you kick some butt don’t you princess” said Captain Z “ awww thank you ugh wait are you just saying that cause you like me too much and that is why you stare at me all the time oh I get it you just want to get with me well guess what you don’t owe me or nothing” said the princess. “ ugh well um I do have a umm I guess I am saying this right now umm I really love you a lot and I mean it a lot you lighten up my world and you rock it I really like your smile and your eyes are the best and your hair kills me from your cuteness” said Captain Z. “well umm I really don’t know what to say but I like you to but love is a really and I mean really strong word but I like your personality and your smile and the way you act around me and the way you treat me is so sweet of you but I don’t know what to say to you” said princess with a smile and with her hands behind her back. “Well I’m going to go change now bye Z” said Captain Princess. Captain Z just sat there and he smiled and behind her back he was saying to himself “yes, yes”. “You know cheering to yourself doesn’t mean. I said yes to be with you and we still have a battle going on still so who knows if I might die or possibly you too but I’m just going to go change”. So Captain Z went to going back outside to kick some butt and fought for his life and his cutie crush. He stabbed and shot almost fifty pirates and there was Captain Princess comes back and fights the rest of them the only three left and Russian Princesses crew but barely any of them. It is just Black Beard, Davey Jones, Captain Z, Russian Princess, and the rest of her crew. And they all just against each other besides Captain Z and Russian Princess and Black Beard teamed up with Davey Jones and that’s all who is fight and back up by her crew. Davey Jones took a swing at Captain Z and he missed. “You’re not very good at fencing are you Captain Davey son of a biscuit eater” said C. Z Russian princess had her axe in the back of her pants and was holding on to it and said “Black Beard what’s wrong with your face you kind of have a little something right there” and

8 she went up close to his face and started to point at his beard and he said“ what what’s wrong with my face”

The Battle of the Crew

By: Captain Ty “Where’s Me Gold” Howard My name is captain Ty, and I’m mean, a leader, and very demanding. I also love to see people die. I do have four people in my crew. They are strong, selfish, and dangerous. Captain Ty wears black jeans, she only has one ear, and she always wears a pink and white hat, she says that it always gives her good luck. I’m going to tell about a battle that happened on, May 10, 1935. One dark night, captain Ty saw a war boat and she knew that wasn’t good. She heard boom, and she notice the gun shots were hitting captain Ty’s boat. All of the crews were in a serious battle. Bodies were flying everywhere, and blood was all over Ty’s crew members. It was midnight so it was hard to see things. Everyone was shouting and screaming their hearts out. It was pouring, and the tides in the ocean, were very strong the boats were flipping over, and sinking. Captain Ty ran back and forth thinking what to do. Then she finally got a clue. She went to the right side of her deck, and started her big, red, and brownish cannon. Everything started to explode. After ten minutes went by, one war ship sunk in the strong, baby blue tides, but captain Ty knew there were eleven more ships to defeat. Everyone was fighting to get the treasure. “Ahoy, do we want scallywags to get the booty?’’ As captain Ty said. The crew members were angry. Big Mamma, the striker knew what to do, so she got a stinkpot and threw it on the war ship. They thought the ships would stop fighting, because it smelled like skunk, but they kept fighting. Fire started bursting, and weapons started flying everywhere. “Me hearty will kill you,’’ said Tylee-o, the master. Captain Ty ran to the helm of the boat, and started driving it, but she crashed into a war ship and laughed, “yo-ho-ho.” The crew noticed that wasn’t good, they flew into the water. It was freezing there were also a lot of bodies in the water. Out of nowhere one of captain Ty’s enemies popped out. She turned around and luckily Ty had a buckler, to make offense and defense moves. Once she spun around captain Ty punched her victim. He went flying and did a belly flop into the water. When captain Ty found her boat the sloop, she was so tired but she knew she couldn’t sleep, she had to find the rest of her crew members. Boom, crash, shoo, “you get off me boat,” said the cook, Janet p. He got out a pocket pistol and shot the person that was trying to kill him, but the pirate was still alive, he got out a musket and shot Janet P. He screamed, “Ahhhh!” Then

11 captain Ty came and stab the enemy in his back in he went down in one second. Ty went running to Janet p to help him, but luckily he survive. Boom, boom, boom then there was another war ship, Ty put Janet p in the belly of the ship, and she gave him some cold left over food, and put a fuzzy, black, and pink quilt on Janet p. He was shriving, and almost blue because it was so cold. Captain Ty ran on the deck of her boat, Ty got a cannon and fired it, the bullets hit one of the other boats, and wood, food, and water started flying out. “Arrrr, you don’t mess with me anymore.” Then the boat sunk and everyone on the boat started screaming. Captain Ty laughed but she couldn’t find the rest of her crew, besides big mamma, the striker. She is big, and always sensitive, Ty and Big Mamma decided to start driving the ship, the sloop. They ran over other people boats, and they ran over people. Blood started flying, and guts started to get all over their ship. Captain Ty drove the boat where the treasure was, but over 300 people were fighting over it. Ty didn’t care she wanted that treasure. Ty and Big Mamma ran to the belly of the ship to help Janet p, and make sure he was doing fine. They said, “were go’ in to get the booty, so be careful. Once Captain Ty and Big Mamma got on the deck, they brought some weapons. Ty went to the right, and Big Mamma went to the left. Slice, crash, boom. “Ouch!” as Big Mamma screamed she ran and slice her enemies head off. Blood started gushing out of his head, and she picked his head up, and threw it in the ocean. It started raining but the rain looked like blood, because people were dying. Captain Ty snuck underneath a spikey, and brown house and got the treasure. She said, arrr me got the booty. Then a guy with scars, and one arm sliced Captain Ty neck. He got blood all over him. Then someone started their cannon, out of nowhere someone flew into the water. More and more people started dying, and people were screaming as loud as a dog barking. Knifes started flying and cutting people, and scaring them on the face, arms, and legs. “Help me!’’ once big mamma heard that she knew that was her captain. Big Mamma tore a piece of cloth from her long, soft shirt, and soaked it with, cold, and slimy, water. Then she put it on Captain Ty’s neck blood was gushing everywhere, big Mamma knew they were going to die in this battle. She threw Ty in the strong, blue tides and started crying. Then a tall women came up to Big Mamma and stabbed her. She couldn’t do anything because she was already in serious pain. Then after thirteen minutes passed by, they put Big

Mamma in the cannon and shot her out. Pieces of her body parts flew out and red blood flew out of the cannon. Janet P. died in the belly of the ship, because enemies stabbed him to death, and the other people in the battle got the treasure.

Why Now

By: Commander Wesley “I’ll Make Ye Hole-ly” St. George KABOOOOOM!!!! Went the cannons as they shot plasma. The smell of burning metal and rotting flesh was surrounding the ship. “My name is Captain Grim and were above Naboo and were fighting The Laser ship!” I screamed to my men. “Ay get back to work!” I shouted as I saw a crew mate fall and turn to ash in the atmosphere. “That’s why my ship is the Fright Rider.” As I saw lasers cannons hit my ship. “Don’t just stand there fire back at them!” I shouted. Then I shot 30 cannons right back at them. Two shot s hit The Laser. “Press the flaming skull” “I captain” and out came three mini guns on each side. “Put out those firers you scallywags!” I shouted. “Aim for their cannons.” Said my first mate. Three fight bombs hit one cannon. Then right before the forth got shot the man manning the cannon got shot in the head. I pulled out my flaming rifle and shot two men on The Laser. “Eat that you murderers!” I yelled across my ship. Just then six men fell dead off the ship and turned to ash. After that I looked at the captain of that ship and fired around of my gun. Then he reflected the built with his white light saber. Then I reflected it with my black light saber. And we started to play tennis with it back and forth. I called a repair ship to fix are ship well in battle. Soon he reflected it weirdly and it hit one of my men. “Sir the mini guns are ready to fire!” shouted a man over the noise of the cannons “Well then fire now!” I screeched at him “I captain” he said back The sound I heard after that was indescribable though I heard the sound of screaming men on The Laser ship thirty men fell and turned to ash. Soon we shot grapple hooks in to their ship. And we drew them to the side of my ship. Then the captain of the Laser cut the grapple hooks and we crashed and fifteen men fell off of my ship and their arms and legs were missing and a piece of my ship hit them and blood squirted everywhere and the their insides coved the sidewalks. Then my strongest man picked up the last cannon and shot down The Laser. As are crew’s and us stared at each other. As me and the other captain charged at each other a giant creature came out of the ground and ate one of my men. He screamed as he got grabbed and thrown into the gooey substance in the back of The Great Ones throat. “I didn’t think the legends were true.” I said. Soon I ran away with the other captain close behind me, soon we reached the top of the building I drew my light saber and we fought until baby great ones pushed us off the edge of the side of the building as we fell and screamed “Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!”

14 we started yelling courses at each other. Soon I looked inside his soul I saw it shiver in fear of me. I landed on my arm and broke my arm and a bruised rib and my arm was covered in blood and I saw a very white thing pierced my skin I wiped away the blood and saw my bone sticking out. The other captain helped me to a safe place. We built a tree house and I climbed up the later with great ones biting at my feet the other captain climb down after me. And he started to kill them on the ground. The next thing I knew was wrapped up in a soft blanket over me. I soon fell asleep. I woke up with a frightening sound the great one were calling at the moon. I saw the other captain and I said “let’s start building again Captain reaper said “um we ot to get rid of that arm and leg of yours” “Ok do we have anything to numb it?” I asked with worry “Um no” he said “Ok make it quick” I said with fear I saw him raise his laser ax and he swung it down I screamed in pain. The pain of it was unbearable he held down my arm and swung again this time it seemed to hurt more. He made me crunches after he welded on a robotic arm. I looked around reaper and me were looking around and we saw one of each of our crew mates we realized that we were by a water fall we rushed to our men they were working together and as soon as we reached them they got shot in the head by a other man. We dragged them behind us and Captain Reaper was so mad he went to the top of the tree house with a sniper and shot the man who took the lives of our men. I started to dig a hole to put the bodies in. we lit them on fire and buried them. We worked together to survive until the great ones return. After a couple of days we went down to the ground and we started to find more food before we run out. And we started to get wood to make the tree house bigger and better I hooked on a turret to a ledge of the tree house.

Knight Halk

By: Master Gunner “No-Eyed” Johnny Vanderpohl Ahoy! Me and my ship are sailing on the wavy water it is dark and cloudy and the only person that can see is me! Because people call me Knight Hawk because I can see in the dark night and that is when I get my pirate on. I and my best man Luke are sailing in the dark sky when no one can see. But we see a Spanish ship full with booty and all of the gold you can ever want. So we sneak right up beside them and shot are cannon Boom! Boom! Boom! We shot three bullets right in the side of their ship but then we realized that the stupid ship was sinking so be had to get are pirate butts over there so we can get are booty so we turned are ship around jumped on their ship got are boarding axes and throwing knives so we can kill long range and short range. So I got on their ship while it was sinking and got there gold and took it to my ship and then I looked back and there were five more ship be hide us but the good thing was it that it took them along time to find us because they cannot see in the bark so I had an advantage. Once they found me I shoot my cannons at them and they did not know where I was because I shot then moved around them because I had a really fast ship so they did not know where I was so I could just shoot then go to the other side shoot then go to the other side. Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! 8 cannon ball flow across the night sky and hit the crow’s nest and then hit the side of their ship “ah that is one of their stupid ships down” I screamed to Luke “All right captain!” Luke screamed as loud as he could. Then I realized they were not Spanish ship they were pirate ship I just Stoll from pirate “were screwed Luke” I said very sadly. “NO! IT’S NOT” screamed Luke. Luke turned the ship all the way around going straight for the pirate ships we put up the extra sallies and were where going as fast as the wind the wind was blowing in are long black breads. We boarded the pirates ship and we started fighting are swords were making sound cling clang the pirate hit my sword so hard my sword flow across the boat and I pulled out my throwing knives from my black and brown leather jacket and throw my knife right at the pirates head his red blood was going right down his face My right hand man Luke got stabbed right in the face in a deadly sword battle so the fight was left in my hand so I took the pirates galleon and turned the baby right around and got my

17 crew and pretended that I was one of the other ships because they could not see the pirate ship leave so I got on their ship and went right back where all of the other ship and were they were not looking I shoot 15 cannons at the ship left to me the ship was all black and had red wood on the dock and the starring well was made out of oak wood and we hoped on their ship and told them that if they did not get on their ship then we will blow you sky high so we got 22 more people on are ship. So with all are people on are ship we shoot the ship to the right of us and sunk that ship so then we went to the next one and shoot tons of cannons at the one because it was a very big ship so it took longer to sink so we sat there until it sunk and I had to tell my crew men were shot exactly so it was very hard to sink the ship because I was the only one that could see the ships we shoot all of the ship but the big one with the captain in the ship it had 105 cannons and a ton of men on that ship so I was sure we were going to lose because they had 105 cannons and a ton of crew men on their ship but I had to do it because these stupid pirates kill my right man and my best man and my smartest one that really know what he was really doing and he could do everything on the ship so I knew my ship would be awesome and never look like a retarder did it the cannons will be in top shape because he was the master gunners so we went to the huge ship I know I was going to go down with a fighting and not like a baby. Oh no it was sun rise and they could see me now know I was sure I was going to die or be a prisoner now.

The Best Pirate Battle of All Time!!!

By: Capt’n Xhannar “Captaga” Lasley I was walking down the stairs on my ship then. BAMMMM!!! My ship was going into a broadside battle my bow sin said “Captain we need to fight back!” Then the powder monkeys went back and forth getting the powder. Then the bow sin was whipping the powder monkeys and saying “Go faster yea scurvy dog or yea not getting grog tonight! If we be coming out alive” BAMMMM!!! And again and again. I made my ship go up to the other ship and my crew boarded then I came. Then the captain of the other ship can up behind me and he said “Ahoy lass” Then I took out my pistol and then pointed the gun but he had his gun ready at my. The captain was getting ready to shoot my then BOOMMM!!! I died the end just kidding my bow sin and my 1st mate hit there captain in the head with a bottle of grog. “My captain are you ok” said the bow sin. “Yes captain are you ok” said my 1st mate. So I got up and went back to the battle and the other ship had a little pet I don’t know what kind it was but it was ugly and it was huge and fat. I think it was a cross between a pig and a tiger and a wolf. “Kill it.” Said one of my crew mate. So I was in a sword battle and I had to hurry up so I cut of his head. I ran to see what was going on and I saw it. It was huge and ugly. “Now I know what we are taking with us.” I said to the strongest person on my crew. Then my bow sin came out with the gold and he ran back to my ship. The captain ran at me so I ducked out of the way and pulled out my sword and said “Ye be looking for a fight ye be getting it.” So then I went up to him and tried to slash him in the face but he blocked it fast. My bow sin tried to sneak up on him from the back with his whip. His whip is metal and it is really hot it has metal chips coming of every time he hits something. He whipped out his whip and got the captain a couple times and then he turn around

20 and tried to punch my bow sin then I cut of his hand and the blood dripped off of his open wound and he said “Ouch me hand is off why would you do that ye scurvy dog!!” Then I grabbed his hand that is of and I slapped him in the face and said “Ye be liking that don’t you scurvy dog!” Then I bitt off the thumbs on his other hand and the blood flow and hit me in the eye and when I whipped my eye the blood came off on my clothes. “Ouch me thumb be off it hurts.” Said the captain. One of my crew mates was on top of the crow’s nest. He was in a sword battle he climbed and the other captain’s crew mate sliced my crew mate’s leg and he yelled “Ouch my leg!!” I ran to save him I had to fight off three people. The fastest thing was to cut off their heads. As I ran I put up my sword and as the first head came of the blood flow and it was black and it blinded the seconded person so he could not see and it was fast going through his head and the same thing happened the other person. As I ran I said “I am coming fight him off as long as you can me bow sin.” “Ok I will tri please hurry I can’t fight him of much longer!” yelled the bow sin I ran my fastest to get to him but as I was running crack my foot. My foot slipped and went through the ship and I said, “Oh no me foot now how am I going to get to my bow sin.” “Do you need some help captain.” said someone “Ya I think I do.” “Looks like you got your foot stuck doesn’t that suck.” said the person. “Who are you and are you one of me crew?” “They call me rat man and I am on the other crew not yours.” “So why are you helping me.” “Can you help me or not.” “Yes I will help you.” So I got out and said, “Thank you for helping.” “So can you help me save one of me crew?” “Yes.”

So we ran and we got to me bow sin and we had a fight and I threw the person and he fell to his death but just before he fell he grabbed the rat man’s foot and tried to take him down to but I grabbed his hand I polled him up and I said “Let us go and get that big animals.” So we went to go get the big animal as we came down I saw that there was only me crew was left. As they saw me come down they all cheered. We went on me ship with the gold and the big animal then BAAAAMMMMM!!!!!! I came out of the wreckage and I said

“Ahoy is me crew out there.” No one answered. The End

Jack Sparrow the Great

By: Piratical Parker “Pumpkin Powder” Blake Clink, swish, ding. “Arg you think you are the one to take down the mighty Jack Sparrow!” Swoosh. “I’d be a fool to say I couldn’t.” said captain Buckle Beard. As the two great pirate captains were fighting as they worked up the stars. “You’d be the easiest to take down. Even my powder monkey could take ye down with thy single swing of sword.” Said Buckle Beard as he took another swing. Clink, clank. The two pirates worked their way up to the roof of the tower and it was certain that nether pirate cared that they were thirty stories up. Thee pirate Jack Sparrow was going to say a comeback insult. You’d beeee…. Thong! something hit the side of the building. Both pirates looked over the side. Boom another canon ball was coming for the tower. BOOM!!!! The building started to tip and fall to the ground. Then Jack said,” so this is bad right.” Captain Buckle Beard gave him a nasty look. And replied. “Yes this isn’t good. You learned something new today.” Then together they jumped down twenty stories. They both landed and as they got up Jack said,” Well that wasn’t half bad.” Then as Buckle Beard went for another swing the ground fell out from under them. Aaaa! The captains cried out as they fell into a room full of pirate booty (gold). The two pirates began to fight one swing after another. Then out of no were captain Slash Beard jumped down and threw a giant diamond at Buckle Beard and knocked him out cold. Then Jack quickly pulled out a pistol and put it up to his head and said,” ha what are you thinking coming to face me. You have no chance ageist me with a dagger and grenade.” “No.” captain Slash Beard said with a smirk on his face. Then he got up slowly. “But they can.” As captain Slash Beard laughed a huge ship came flying over the hole and hundreds of pirates jumped down surrounding Jack and started closing in on him. “Well mm…… this isn’t good.” Jack exclaimed. “Mm…” then with a few mighty steps Jack ran and jumped over two pirates and ran into a cave. “Get him!” A voice cried out from the captain. Soon after that Jack turned to run but he found a skeleton that was hung and stopped instantly. He looked down the cave to see hundreds

23 of people hung. Men, women, and even children every last one hung. Jack then walked around it like it was about to jump out and attack him. After he got around the skeleton he ran just like when he saw a bunch of girls walk into a bar and chased them in as fast as he could. But when he was about to out run them he came to a dead end. “Ha finally we found you.” Said Slash Buckle. “So boys what do you think slow or fast death.” As captain Slash Buckle was speaking to his crew calling out orders Jack pulled out a spoon and started to dig. “Really a spoon, that’s really what you’re using to escape.” “Oh no this isn’t good.” Jack exclaimed to himself. Captain Jack took three deep breaths and ran after the other crew. Bing, ding, cling, bang, Jack took them all. The entire crew and nothing could stop him. Then with a perfect shot blew out captain Slash Buckle eye. “Aaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!” The captain cried. As he fell to the cold ground. Grabbing his eye with the bullet in it and pulling out. His breathing went into hyperventilation as he saw his entire crew was taken one by one. His vision was becoming blurry. Then he blacked out just to wake up to Jack at his neck with a sword. “You look to be in fine condition.” Jack said with a smirk on his face. “Only if you can take me.” Whoosh. Captain Slash Buckle threw a wade of dust into captain Jack Sparrow’s eye’s then said, “AR its, true revenge is good.” Then Captain Buckle beard ran off as fast as his legs could carry him. Captain Jack then jumped up, grabbed the spare dagger he kept in his belt and with a mighty throw he curved the blade around a wide corner. Then the blade curved coming from the side and ripped the Slash Buckle spine out threw his chest. “Ha now your one of Jack Sparrow’s defeated men. But I’d classify you as a women.” Jack said as he walked away. Then when he exited the cave he got there just in time to see captain Buckle Beard get up. Next Jack said,” oh great your back.” As Jack was talking and loading his gun. Buckle Beard looked at all the blood from all of the other crew and exclaimed “you killed the others didn’t you.” “Plus the captain.” Jack said with a smile on his face. Then as Jack walked up to him he cocked the gun and said “well any last words captain Buckle Beard.” “My crews coming for you!” “Ok and my crew likes me. Get over the fact you’re going to die. But first.” Then Jack pulled out a flask and took a drink. Buckle Beard tried to take advantage of the moment and went

24 to leap then. Bang! The only thing that he got out of that leap was a bullet in his head. The smell of black powder filled the air. Then as brains were splattered everywhere Jack walked cautious threw then blood and crawled out to see the sun set. Then he jumped of the cliff and started to swim. Boom! The water next to Jack built up into a wave. What the!

Darkness Will Fall At the Sea

By: Scurvy Sarah “The Saber” Stefani As I look over the dock, I look down at the water I see my reflection off the water. Me, Captain Maggie Jollier. I wonder what life would be like if I didn’t leave home. I look up and turn around, look at my boat, the Brig. I look over and I see a ship approaching. “Loki avast! Come raise the Jolly Roger!” “Aye, me captain” Loki my most loyal first mate. As he raises the flag I run up to the top deck. “Thor come here!” Thor walks up to me, he towers over me; his shoulders are broad and muscular. “What can I do for you my captain?” “Go get Dead Shot I think we will be needing him.” “Yes my Captain.” As he walks away, the other ship approaches. Then I hear a voice yell. “Let us board yur ship!” Its Captain Red heart, one of the most ruthless pirate captain of the sea. He walks up to the side of his boat. He is tall but not as tall, as Thor. He has long ginger wavy hair and a beard the same. He walks and stands like he has power over the world. His crew is completely silent, their all looking at him. “You will have to kill me first before you board my ship!” “Well ok then. May you be cursed because yur ship is under the power of a woman, and women are bad luck at sea.” He walks away from the side of the ship from where I can’t see him anymore. I turn to my crew they are all standing there looking at me. Loki walks up to me, “Captain what should we do?” “Did Thor get Dead Shot?” He looks back at Thor and he nods his head. “Dead Shot get the canons ready!” Suddenly there seems to be a rush over the crew, everybody is running around. Red Heart’s ship is silent. Then suddenly I hear a loud boom and our ship sways to the side, and then I realize they have shot the ship with a canon ball. Then they send another, and it hits the deck. Splinters of wood went flying; about half of the crew was in the water by now. Parts of the deck were in the water and up in flames. Thor is hanging over the side of the boat with a fire below him. Loki is leaning over the hide of the boat holding his forearm. Loki is trying to pull Thor back on the boat.

“Hold on Thor!” Loki yells down at Thor. Loki get Thor over the side of the boat he stubbles. Finally getting his balance back Loki stands up strait, by now Red Hearts crew is attacking our crew and is on the ship Thor gets on his feet and someone walks up behind Loki and stabs him through the heart. He falls to the ground in one split second, he is dead immediately. “Thor, I’m sorry, I’m so sorry.” I look down and Loki is laying there lifeless. Thor looks at me. “We must still fight, this no tome for mourning, let’s go.” “Dead Shot are the canons ready?” “Yes my captain they are amide and ready to fire.” I look at him and give him a quick smirk. “Then fire! Give them all we got!” He signals the crew and they fire. Four at one time, smacking into the side of their ship. Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! “How do yur like me now?” I scream half of their boat is in the water it is starting to sink. I run up to the tallest point I can find on me boat, “Surrender, yur ship! Its bout to go down there’s no way yur winnin this battle you scurvy dogs!” On Red Hearts ship every one turns and screams. “Charge!” I draw my sward from my hip slashing threw crew men and bring them down. There is only half of their crew left to, Thor looks at me. “We can do this stay strong.” I smile, I turn around and stab someone in the back they fall to the ground in seconds. Then I see Captain Red Heart coming toward me, he draws his sword. He make a swing at me with his sward it just nearly grassed my arm, with is cutting threw my shirt and slicing my arm. “Surrender!” he yells at me. “Not over my dead body!” I scream back still going back and forth with our weapons. One of his crew men scream and he looks of his shoulder for just one second. I knock him over to where he’s lying on the ground and I stab him threw the knee pinning him to the deck. “Surrender! Now or I will kill you and every one on what’s left of a boat!” “I surrender!” the whole boat is silent. “

“That there’s almost nothing left of the ship we shall make them walk the plank!” I say looking at Thor. We make them walk the plank and we continue on with what we all were doing. The whole crew or what’s left of a crew gathers around. “We will remember the crew mates that we lost and we hope to find a crew that will live up to their name.”

I’m a Pirate

By: Captain Nayha “The Venomous Vet” Sengmanyphet “Avast ye scallywag!” Captain Nahya yelled. As the cannons shot fire to the ship as body’s flew through the air in many directions “Ye shall be in Davy Jones’ Locker!” As the crew and the captain aboard the ship and start to fight each other as swords hit each other “clink” as Parker grabs his dagger and Mr. Fluffy tells him which direction to go. “To the right raghhh!” Mr. Fluffy yelled out. “Ok.” Parker reply. Parker turns to the right as ordered and uses his dagger and starts to stab to the right. “Now to left and the right raghhh!” “Roger buddy!” Parker turns to the left and the right as order from Mr. Fluffy. Parker and Mr. Fluffy fight as much pirates as he can “Now which way should I go buddy” “To the left and right raghhh!” “Got it buddy!” As Parker turned to his left to stab one of the pirates tried to hurt him. “WATCH OUT TO YOUR RIGHT RAGHHH!” “OK!” AS he duck and stabbed at one of the pirates. “Thanks buddy.” “You’re welcome raghhh!” as Parker and Mr. Fluffy fight Gabe is going crazy shooting everywhere he is “Hahaha take that ye scallywag!” Gabe is shooting every last one of those pirates on the ship. He’s going all crazy and used his hook to cut all the pirates. Gabe’s hook is super sharp that it can cut anything “Hahaha you can’t hurt me ye scallywag!” As he starts to shooting his guns and cutting people with his hook he started to help Parker and Mr. Fluffy because they were trapped by other pirates and Gabe started to shoot his gun and said “Hahaha take that ye scallywag!” “Thanks.” Parker replied Gabe, Parker and Mr. Fluffy were trapped and thought they were done for but some shot a gun and say Zombrum swinging on a rope shooting his gun everywhere “Hope ye like being in Davy Jones’ Locker hahaha!” “Ahoy Zombrum thanks for saving us.” Parker replied. “Aye thanks for saving us.” Gabe replied. “Now what do we do raghhhh!” Said Mr. Fluffy.

“I know!” Gabe had an idea he needed Parker and Mr. Fluffy to lead them to the barrels so Parker and Fluffy got the other pirates attention to barrels as the pirates saw them they ran to him so they can kill him. Gabe and Zombrum were behind the barrels so when the pirates got there Gabe and Zombrum started to push it and the barrels fell on them with blood splatted everywhere on the deck as they saw other pirates coming they started to arm themselves when the other pirates got there they started to fight. All four of them were surrounded so Mr. Fluffy said “Hey come and get us Raghhhh!” As the other the pirates looked the other way to see who said it as Gabe and Zombrum pointed their guns at them parker said out loud “READY AIM FIRE!” As both shot their guns at other pirates “BAM!” With blood splatted everywhere on the deck of the ship. As more pirates came to kill them Gabe and Zombrum kept shooting their guns over and over again. “Keep shooting me hearty’s!” Parker yelled “Ok! As Gabe replied. There was so much blood everywhere as the guns were shooting Parker kept stabbing other pirates with Mr. Fluffy by his side. As they were dealing with the other pirates Captain Nahya was fighting the other ships captain Captain Jackal. Captain Jackal said out loud “How dare ye kill me crew!” As he tried to kill me with his sword. “Hahaha ye missed me!” As Captain Nahya tried to hit him but she did cut some of his hair from his beard and he got angry from cutting some of his hair and he pulled two swords and said “Hahaha ye can’t escape me now!” As he kept swinging his swords at me. I kept dodging the swords and our swords hit each other “Clink clink!” He was just too strong for me and got some of his crew to get me I thought I was done for but then out of nowhere my crew came to help as gun shots fired at them and Parker started stabbing some of them to help me. “Hahaha ye think ye get all the fun.” Gabe said “Ye be our captain.” Zombrum said “We be ye crew we help out our captain.” Parker said as they got their weapons out they were ready to fight. We all kept shooting guns, swinging swords with blood everywhere when I told my crew to go back on the ship and ready the cannons I ran back to ship and said to my crew “Ready the cannons ready aim fire!” As the cannons went off the cannon balls hit the ship as bodies flew everywhere and with holes in the ship the Captain Nahya said “Hahaha see ye in Davy Jones’ Locker!” As the other pirates jumped off the ship the pirates stayed on board the ship and went down with the ship. As the ship went down my crew

31 celebrated from our accomplishment from the battle we all celebrated with grog our favorite drink and played music all night long and had a fest for our victory and Captain Nahya said “We have won ye battle!” As everyone said “Yaaaaaaaaaa!” As the boat set sailed to anywhere they wanted to go.

1722

By: Buccaneer Brandon “The Terrible” Tremmel The year is 1722 in the heart of the Indian Ocean off the coast of India. Boats are sailing past each other at a rapid paces going from place to place for trading. There have been a few ships have conflict and battle sometimes missing shots and hitting ships in the background in causing more ships to join the battle. One of the bigger ships named Fear is the main of biggest ships. It was originally named the man-o-war but in 1719 was conquered Captain Tremmel, Him and his crew of 47 people. They had one of the biggest ship and had 35 cannons, 17 on each side and one in the front of the ship. During one of the trade routes to France they had encountered an English galleon ship and decided that the crew would get more out of the English ship and it would save some time. As the ship had turned as fiercely as the huge ship started to sail against the current so the boat started to slow down but this brought some advantage. Soon the ships were close and not any shots were fired yet. Dominic also known as domino was a gun master and shouted to the captain “the cannons are loaded with clusters!” the captain nodded. The ships were side by side, and there was a 15 foot gap in between the boats. Fear was the first boat to start firing. The first shot hit the back of the ship, the cluster round exploded and the ship erupted in flames. And as the huge ship was getting hit and knocked around with scalding hot cannon balls ripping into the body of the ship the men on the English ship were scrambling to reach their weapons, their swords and guns. The English ship having the few cannons that it did fire their cannons that they had, all but two cannon balls missing Fear. The thirty five cannon men have quickly loaded the cannons and fired them with the cannon master on their ends, “Load faster, and shoot… fire the cannons!!!” The men working as hard as they can, hauling cannons, pouring black powder into the end of the cannon, stuffing the round into the cannon, then igniting the powder, and did this over and over. Finally one of the rounds took out the decorated sails of the English ship. “Their ship isn’t going anywhere!” shouted Captain Tremmel. The English ship finally came to a half and was still. Fifteen men on Fear grabbed their boarding axes and jumped off the side of the ship and boarded the English ship. Slaughtering the

English men left and right, while English men are grabbing their muskets and shooting. Tremmel was using his hatchet in his right hand and his left help a bottle of rum. Using the hatchet and killing every man who walked his way, looked at his wrong. Blood was soaking the deck of the English ship. The battle is over… dead bodies over the deck… guts and blood both spilled from both sides. Seven people from “Fear” have fallen in battle never to stand again… Breathe again … Talk again… including Dominic. Dead. The battle has taken the lives of many people. The Captain decided to keep the ship as a memorial for Dominic and the other fallen soldiers. Crew members taking the loot and taking all of the weapons, money, basically anything worth a penny including their ship, naming it after his fallen friend…Dominic. Throwing the dead English men over board including the captain to clear the ship. The blood stained into the deck and made the wood turn into a reddish color. The sails where replaced and were exchanged for blue and black sails… now returning to the Holy Roman Empire… their home land… where everything was proper but them and their ships with gaping holes in their sides.

The Man of War

By: Cap’n Chantz “The Barnacle” Hull One stormy night the man of war was sailing the seven seas. Each side had 100 cannons loaded on each side. Then six English laws came toured me ship! Then about an hour later I sunk three of them ships. Then me crew jumped ship and soon controlled that very ship. They also collected them booty. Then we went after the last two ships we sank one of the two ships. We also found some survivors we took them on our ship then later we made them walk the plank. Then we took a swim for them booty. Once we sunk the other ship we celebrated on our ship. All of us drank Grog, our favorite drink. After the night we were all loaded to the gunwales. All of the British men were in Davy Jones locker as well as them ships. As we drift along the seven seas we see a ship. We don’t know whose ship that is until me see them flag. Then more flags start to appear. Then it is more of dem English laws. Wait there is also British laws. That is so unfair! It is 20 against one. Then me powder monkey said “sir there is more ships on the sides of us”. “Wait “said the powder monkey. It is the sprogs! Then the Russian Princess came with a fleet of her ships. “Finally we have good back up” said Captain Z. Then the Russian Princess said to her gunner “aim dem cannons now”! Her gunner did as told. I also told my gunner to do the same thing. Then surprisingly we both said” FIRE” at the same time. Then we all heard a big “BANG” Next we saw one of their ships sink. We all cheered” wooohooooo”! But one person didn’t cheer. It was me sea artist, Sargent Sea, as he looked toured the enemies’ ships. Then he said “LOOK OUT”! They fired one of them bar and chain shots at me ship. We barley dodged it. Then we heard another “BOOM”! It was a cannon ball. It was headed toured one me sprogs! Then me gunner said “look out” But they didn’t see that cannon ball. So they ended up going to Davy Jones locker. Except one person them gunner. Then I asked him if he wanted to be a second gunner on me ship. Then he spat out some blood and also said “aye”. We helped him as best as we could and gave him his position. Then we heard another boom, we fired back at them. Suddenly we saw their flag go

36 under water. We sunk another of dem ships. We heard another boom and it didn’t come from the enemies. It came from the Russian princess ship and her fleet. Me and only me saw all those cannon balls fly a sink two ships. Then I said “FIRE” then I saw four ships sink.

The Best Pirate Battle of All Time!

By: Bosun Garrett “Braided Gorilla” Tarter “Captain theirs a ship coming up on port side!” The bosun yelled at the top of his scurvy lungs. “One-eye Jack, get the scurvy dogs on the cannons!” the captain yelled back. “Plumpy get my sword and flint lock!” “Aye captain.” He yelled as he ran across the boat. “Lil Jimmy get the guns ready!” The captain yelled. “Aye captain!” Lil Jimmy yelled “Brace yourself.” Yelled the captain. Bam! A cannon ball went straight threw the ship. “Someone fix my ship, they’ll be sorry that they did that”. “Where’s Plumpy with my weapons.” “One-eye Jim be ready to fight.” “Aye” The bosun yelled with his scraggly voice. “Finally Plumpy your back. Plumpy arm yourself. Why aren’t there any cannonballs flying.” Screamed the Captain. “Jump on their ship you Scurvy dogs.” Boom! Another cannonball hit our ship. Lil Jack why aren’t we shooting our guns. 1-eye jack why aren’t we shooting our cannons. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Finally we started shooting our canons. Plumpy start killing the Scallywags on the floor of the boat. “Aye Captain” Pumpy screamed. Then he realized that he didn’t have any weapons. So he started hiding behind the boson. “What the heck he yelled. Plumpy start fighting.” Yelled the bosun. So he picked up a dead’s arm. “That does nothing”. He yelled again. “Captain theirs another ship coming up.” The gunner yelled.” I told you that Booty would stir up some bad attention.” The boson yelled again. “Lil Jack get those gun ready.” Everyone jump on another ship, this one is going down.” Yelled the captain yelled. So everyone jumped to one of the ships except for the bosun. He jumped in the water so he could get some booty. The salty water burned his eyes. And the blood for his wounds attracted sharks. So he barely got any booty be for he had to go up and climb up one of the ships. His chain got all rusty for the salty water. Once up he started throwing people to

39 their doom. The water soon turned red from the blood. “Lil Jack I’m out of bullets prime another one for me.” “Aye captain. Captain our gun powder got ruined when our ship sank”. “Captain we need to get to land because this one is going down too.” As the two ship went blazing fast to the tiny island. Cannons flying past them the entire way there. One they came up on island both ship went crashing down. Both crews fighting on the beach. The sand stung their wounds and the short swim burned their eyes. Lil Jack the gunner fell in a hole witch was full of bottles of grog. So he started throwing bottles. To knock the other crew off guard. “Captain this grog is very flammable.” Yelled the gunner. “Good idea Lil Jack” The captain yelled back. So he lit a match and lit the other crew on fire. So they took off into the ocean. “OUCH!” the crew screamed the salt water burns. “Lil Jack keep throwing the grog”. The captain yelled. “Boson whip all those scury dogs.” “Captain we are almost out of grog what do we do.” “We run.” the captain replied. So they took off running. Once the other crew realized what they were doing they ran out of the water and chased them. “Plumpy look behind you do you see anything.” The captain yelled. “Aye captain.” Plumpy yelled. “What do we do?” Plumpy yelled. “We fight.” The captain yelled. They drew their swords and turned around. They started fighting again. CLINK! CLANK! Was the noise the swords made as the hit. The bodies of the dead covered the beach. “Ouch” The captain yelled they got me in the arm. “You’ll pay for that you Scurvy dogs!” The captain went in rage. And killed people by the tens. He got weaker by the hit. Finally falling to his knees. NNOO!” the boson yelled as he ran toward him. And started protecting the captain. The boson dropping his chain and falling over the captain as he fell. The gunner’s sword broke and he got killed. “NNOO!” Plumpy yelled. The crews dwindling in size. The boson got up and with one swipe knocked down the rest of the other crew. And plumpy using his fast reflexes killed the rest of the crew.

“I can’t believe he’s gone I should have been me.” The boson said. “Well plumpy that makes you the new captain.” “I know.” He replied. “We need a new ship.” The boson said. “With what money.” The first mate said. “I have this”. As the boson pulled out a hand full of gems that he had saved from when the ship went down. “The green nugget will live on.” The first mate said with a sense of happiness.

The Tale of the Black Death

By: Admirable Gabe “The Gab” Stewart My name is, Captain Gabriel Stewart and my ship’s name is the Black Death. And if you buy me a grog, I’ll spend you a tale about a battle and death and how, I lost my eye. One day long ago. I and my crew were having a normal day on the seven seas and, I was walking around looking to see if everyone was there and to see if the crew were still doing their normal task and then we heard a loud noise. Then one of my sailors named Jack who was sitting in the crow’s nest with the telescope yelling there is a ship on the port bow. A loud sound came scratching off the enemies bout that meant the wanted a battle. So they were loading their cannons and their pistols and getting their swords out to fight us with. So we were preparing to fight and to win the battle. Then all the sudden a led ball came flying over my head and hit our sail. Then I screamed, “Get ready! Aim! Fire!” The sound of the cannons shootings at the enemy’s ship. We herd the sounds of their ship cracking and caching fire. Then I ordered my crew to prepare them self’s for the worse then we heard a sound from the water and we looked over to the enemies we seen they were summoning the kraken so we know were facing Davey Jones and his undead crew. I yelled, “Get ready we need to prepare are self’s for the kraken so get ready.” So as we were under deep preacher we heard the loud sound of the kraken screeching then my men stood their ground getting ready then all the sudden there were huge tentacles coming out of the water. I yelled out, “Get ready for when the tentacles come down blow them suckers off and if they grab you stab it and maybe she will drop you.” Then as, I was standing their yelling at my crew. I see out the corner of my eye Davey Jones ship leaving us to defend for are self. Then, I ordered my men to change course to the enemy’s ship as we were going. I yelled.” Get your canons ready and when, I say fire, I want you to fire…get…ready …aim…FIRE.” As the roar of the canons blast shooting out the mouth of the canon as the hundred pond led ball crashed into the Davey Jones ship as shards of wood and fire and smoke went all over the place. As, I were standing there. I felt a fast and cold wind fly behind me one of my crew members yelled.” Watch out run captain she’s right behind you.” As, I turned around. I was staring at the kraken. The big black beast with its sharp teeth as. I was standing there and my life was flashing by. I heard the bloody screech of the best. New.

I most do one thing. I drew my sword and my pistil as everything around me went into slow motion and led balls crashing into my ship. I afford my life to safe my crew so. I started running and running. I took one leap right into the beast mouth. I grabbed a grenade and throe it into the beast moth with me. I was being eat me then. I heard the gasp like it was trying to breath thin I seen a flam. I knew it was fire the best spit me right out right out back on to my bout the beast went back under the water. I thought it was gone for good thin all the sudden the best jumped right out of the water and as it was about to land on the ship I burst right open guts and tentacles went all over the place. Then my crew came around me and gave me chairs for killing the kraken but there was no time for that. I yield. “Let’s show Davey Jones what were made of.” So as we were heading turds the enemy’s ship. We rained hale on them. As the sound of the canons roaring and blasting we seen the enemies ship catch on fire. We boarded their ship, fighting to the death. I was looking for Davey Jones. I yelled out. “Arg were mite yaw be you scallywag and yaw blood thirsty demon? Let’s fight like man you big landlubber.” As I yelled out looking for, Davey Jones, I heard a loud pop and crack and I felt a pain like no other in my buttocks. He shot me with his pistil. I trend slowly and out the corner of my right eye, Davey Jones was about to kill me with is dagger and he missed and he cut out my left eye. As the blood gushed from my face. I looked out of my right eye and, Davey Jones was eating eat so. I drew my sword and was about to kill him he said. “Yaw foolish captain yaw can’t kill me no one can kill me not even the great, Black Beard himself could kill me.” “If he can’t maybe, I can so what are we chatting about lets fight you son of a biscuit.” “So let’s fight shall we.” “We shall.” So as me and the king of the seas were fighting. Clink, Slash, Bash we looked at each other and we were both vary executed. As Davey Jones said. “Yaw are a good fighter. I might have underestimated you a little too much especially with one eye and a bullet hole in yaw but you dirt bag…ughlh.” As my sword penetrated gullet “See, I told yaw, I would win.” As, I wisped into to his hear as he slowly fell to the ground in pain. I grabbed my pistil and. I heard a mumble from, Davey Jones what he said to me still rings through my hears just like it was yesterday, I am your father Gabriel. So as, heard that. I pulled the trigger and as he died so did his crew.

We throw all the body’s off the ship and kept the mighty fissile for are one. We knew the kings of the seas. THE END

When I turned I saw the captain fire a bullet at me and I pulled out my white light saber and I blocked the bullet and it went back at him and he hit the bullet back at me and we kept hitting it back and forth and I hit two of his men in the chest then I went to my captains room and was thinking, thinking, thinking then when I came up with an idea and when I was going to wright it down one of my men came in and said he is going to fire all of his mini guns at me and I came running out and saying “NOOOOOOO” and when I said that I saw all of his mini guns firing and 30 of my men fell off my ship and went up in ashes and after my men fell he shot grappling hooks at my ship and I pulled out my whit light saber and cut the grappling hooks then I ran for one of my best men and we went in the basement of the ship were the jail cells were then we got up and went back up on the top of the deck on the ship and looked down and I saw one of Night Riders crew member holding a cannon and aiming at my ship and I saw his man shoot a fright bomb and my crew were yelling “WERE GOING DOWN” when they said that I told them to run to the captains headquarters and when they did we crashed on the planet Naboo , and the men on my crew that survived jumped of the ship and when we jumped off the ship we took out our weapons and looked at Fright Riders crew members and when we were running at each other this big monster named The Great One came out of the ground and started attacking Fright Riders crew getting

46 attack along with my crew and I saw Grim running away. So I started running after him and when a jumped and grabbed his feet and were on top of a building. He fell on the ground and dust went up in the air and he pushed me off and he pulled out his light saber and then I took out my light sabre and we started to point our light sabers at each other and two baby Great Ones came out of the ground behind us. When we looked at each other we were back and back swinging our light sabers at the baby Great Ones and when they both went underground and the ground was shaking beneath me and him then when we looked down and back up at each other and we were on top of the baby Great Ones and we started swinging out our light sabers at each other and we were moving all around then when we stopped moving and we were still in the air we were booth in the baby Great Ones mouth when I look back at Grim I said “Were getting devoured by these ugly monsters” when I said that we both looked down and the baby Great Ones spit us out and we fell of the building and we were attacking each other while we were fighting in the air then I smacked him in the face and he said “Owwww!” “That hurt and when he said that I said “You deserved that you ugly wimp!” “no I don’t” when we were arguing we remembered we were in the air so I when we were going to point our light sabres at each other we were holding nothing so we started smacking each other back and forth until we looked down and we see a whole bunch of baby Great Ones opening there mouth’s to about to eat us and we started yelling like this “AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH” and we looked down again they were gone and when we landed I fell on top of Grim and he broke his arm and then I helped him up and we started walking to see if there was any other buildings around but I didn’t see any buildings but we did see a jungle so we went to the jungle and I climbed up a tall thick tree and I pulled out a ladder that pulled up you when you grab the rope and when he came up I said “We left our men behind” “Oh dang we need them too” “I know if we had them right know they could help us” when we were done talking he was asleep I pulled out a blanket and put it over him and took out my ax and went down the tree

47 and started gathering wood, food, and water. When I gathered the resources I came back up to the tree house I saw Capt. Grim up and he said “Let’s start building” when he said that I said “Ohm we can’t we have to cut off your leg before it bleeds out” after I said that he said “Ok but do we have something to numb my leg before you cut it off” “Ohm no we do not” when I said that he said “Ok but make it quick” I picked up the ax and chopped off one of his legs and his arms. And then I put something around his leg and arm after that I pulled up the ladder so nothing bad would get up here. After the sun started going down we both fell asleep when we both woke up I said “Just wait a sec I have to go do something” “Ok” when I went down I got to thick sticks and pulled out my light saber knife and started making a crutch when I was done making the crutches I put them on my back and started climbing up when I got up the tree house I gave Capt. Grim the crutches and he said “Thank you” after that I looked down towards the ground in the tree house and I see one of my men helping one of Grims men and I said “There’s our men when I said that I yelled out “UP HERE” when they heard something they looked up here and said “There’s our captains” they looked so happy and when I was waving to them they both got shot in the head by an enemy of Capt. Grims and mine when we saw them fall down in the waterfall and we closed the door and kneeled down pulled out my laser rifle and saw the man that shot our men and I shot him in the chest and he fell after that we got back up and we started working together on stuff to survive on our own.

Best Pirate Battle in History

By: Jovial Jolly Jakob “Plumpy” Meyer I was on the boat fighting with against Black Beard. While I was fighting with him the whole bombed by another pirate crew. Then our gunner ran to his room and then he brought out the heavy artillery. Then he told the powder monkeys to bring him some ammo and said to the other gunners “set, aim fire!!!!”

Then Black beard jumped on to his ship and threatened one of the powder monkey and said “where’s yarrr captain.

The powder monkey said “aye don’t know”

Then Black beard sliced his head “sphkkkkk kerplunk” as the head hit the floor.

The captain said “surrender and give me yer booty or die”.

Then they pulled out their swords and fought Clink clank as the swords hit together it created sparks. Then as captain pulled out his blunderbuss he flicked it to automatic and shot Black Beard as many times until it ran out of ammo. Black Beard hit the ground “plop boom”. Then his crew scampered on to Black Beards ship then as soon as they got back on to the ship Booooooooommm!!!!!!! The cannons went off and their ship blew into smithereens and the ship went down in flames.

“Shiver me timbers!” the captain yelled.

Then all of the sudden their ship came back with all of the crew and Black Beard.

“Son of a Davy Jones locker!” the captain yelled.

Then the captain yelled “hurry powder monkeys faster, faster, faster”. Then the boson came out sloppy drunk and said “wooooohooooooo get that ammunition to em’”.

Then the boson whipped the powder monkeys dropped the ammunition to the gunner. Then the lead gunner said “ready aim fire”. Then the cannon balls went right through the ship and right

49 through the crew and the Black Beard. Then the captain swung on to the Black Beards ship and he land right floor then he the booty “The captain yelled I got the booty”. Then he pulled out his grappling hook and threw it on to his ship and swung back over. Then the captain opened it and there was a note. Then he read it and it said “arrrg!!! There is three chests of booty and food down in the cellar”.

So the captain and his crew swung on to black Beards ship and went down to the cellar and found the food and the treasure. Then Black Beards crew and Black Beard. Then Black Beard said “how you would like the decoy son of a biscuit eater. Then the captain told his crew arm themselves and the war began again and both the Captain and Black Beard pulled out there swords and as they were walking they felt the wood pricks across their face. Then both of the captains started fighting and they both cut each other and both the crews stopped and started eating their captain’s skin and ate the skin with blood dripping in their mouth.

Then as soon as it was all gone they started fighting again. The captain chopped off Black Beards hand as the blood was dripping off his arm and on the hand the blood dripping on to the floor. The captain noticed something about blood, it disintegrated through the floor. Then when the captain’s crew started chopping Black Beards crew up into pieces and the blood hit the floor and the floor disintegrated. Then the Captains crew fell down into the boats second basement and found the treasure and said “ahoy maties found the doubloons”. Then Suddenly the Captain turned around and saw Black Beard and his crew in perfectly in fine shape.

“Shiver me timbers Black Beard how you keep coming alive”

Black Beard said “the chemicals in our bodies keep us kickin”

Then the Captain and Black Beard pulled out there swords and fought for the booty. Clink! Clank! As the swords made a melody hitting together.

“Wow scallywag you’ve been practicing haven’t you”.

“Yes you noticed son of a biscuit eater”

“Ha you lass”

Then the Captain hit Black Beards sword and it flung out of his hands and as the the sword was in the air it went into one of Black Beards crew head and split his body in two with blood flying everywhere with blood squirting in both of the captains face.

“grody blood in the face”

“Ha tasted good to me”

“Just you wait till you get the scurvy”

Then Black Beard collapsed and hit the floor “boom kerplunk”. Then the Captain rolled him over felt his pulse and said “he’s still alive”. Then Black Beard got up and fought on his knees because he couldn’t walk on them. Then the captain pulled out his second sword and raised them up and sliced his arm off. Black beards crew fought back as hard as they could. Then the captain’s crew killed the rest of Black Beards crew. Then the captain crew grabbed the booty and walked back to his boat. Then the Captain and his crew went back onto Black Beards boat and threw them overboard. Then they took the food barrels and the gold back to the ship. Then they sailed away and looked for other ships with gold that they know of. They kept fighting and wining all of the battles they fought. So when the crew and The Captain grew old they were and couldn’t fight anymore. So once in a while they would meet up and eat dinner together on their ship to remember what it was like when they were in the crew sailing across the seas and fighting for gold. Then they meet up again and got on their ship and sailed to port and meet up with their friends.
