Bounty Hunter Bash Pirate Lock Arc Part Eight

 The Rock And The Hard Place


After they all shared the spoils and Gurter, Bash, Kira and Steel all took out two baths and took a soak. 

"Wow! There are two more here! I'm so glad!" 

"Speak for yourself!" The other girls said.

"Oh! Come on! Until she arrived I was the only girl in the Captain's crew! This is gonna be so much fun!"

The rest groaned.

"So does anyone have a crush?"

"No!" Said Steel.

"Nah!"

"Not really!"

"Really not one? Come on, you're all girls aren't you? There must be someone you like!"

"I find Jax fun yet I don't think I love him." Kira admitted.

"And what about you, Steel?" 

"I found Captain Herlock attractive. In fact he was one of the first to actually treat me like a woman and not a man with breasts. He also found a good use of my incredible strength. However, the second one who treated me like a woman, I punched."

Bash looked aside as they all slipped out.

"And was that second one Cerpheres?" Gurter asked as she put on her clothes.

"Who else? I mean he keeps asking for it and why does he look as if he always gets off on it?" She asked, putting her clothes on.

"I don't think I want to know. I mean how did Captain Gerald pick up a crash like him?"

"He asked to join the crew and the Captain did not have a reason not to. Honestly, sometimes I could swear that one of them is going to kill the other one of these days."

That was when they heard the wind as they finished putting their clothes on. Bash looked out of the window and saw that the clouds were forming and soon they were eclipsing the sky. She looked down to see that the waves had started to become more and more aggressive. She could feel the damp atmosphere and smell the scent of warm salty water enter her nostrils. As the ship sailed on the clouds became darker and darker. Then the waves became more and more aggressive and bigger and bigger. The wind became stronger and stronger. Then the ship became rockier and rockier until it started swaying from side to side.

They then all raced to the decks. Steel was already looking around as the manager of the sails swung off their sail and flew into the ocean too far to be rescued.

"Alrigh', brace ye selves lads 'n' lasses! We're in for a long ride!" Captain Gerald shouted.

"Alright I'll handle the sails." Steel spiked as it started pouring it down.

"Alrigh'! Just be careful! I don' wanna 'ave anymore deaths!" He said as another member was flipped over.

Bash ran to him and quickly caught him. She then struggled to pick him up as he committed into the ocean. She then pulled and pulled. She could feel him slipping in her wet hand. Yet after she was able to pull him up. Then she looked down to see that the waves were getting higher and higher. Soon they were sailing in waves so large that the ship was crashing into them and some thrust the ship moments in the air. This was followed by a hard crash into the waves. Steel held on as long as she could and continued her work on the sails.

That was when she saw Gurra empty the contents of his stomach and he hit his near on the ship. She went to run over to him but they rode up on another high wave and they were in the air. His body flew up and for a moment they were all suspended in the air and they crashed into the water below. His body flew overboard and was hit by a wave and sank beneath the waves.

She looked for others that she could save knowing that he was already dead. She soon found Coran and Jeff and Jax. She ran over to them and threw them below the deck. Her eyes dated atoms and she saw Kibbit and ran over top him, just as the ship was back in the air,  she was able to grab him by the scruff of his collar and threw him down with Coran, Jeff and Jax. 

She car another and raved to him and he too was overboard the moment that she reached the edge. She then spotted a great wave coming. One that was high enough to be just above the ship. Knowing what was about to happen, she ran away from the edge. Then the wave hit and she felt helpless as she was pulled back. She looked down to see that she was going to go overboard if she did not do something. She looked around for something to home onto but there was nothing that she could grab. She was about to die and she knew it. Then she felt two hands grip tightly to her wrists. She looked up and saw Cerpheres and Chashathrophogh. They started to pull her up and she noticed that both men had stabbed the deck with their daggers to keep them from falling off the ship.

"Don't you dare let go girl!"

"I won't!

She tried to hold on as tightly as she could but the wetness of their hands caused them to become slippery. She could feel her hand slipping. She could even see her hand start to move fishery and further out of theirs. Then the ship was thrust back into the air and they were able to pull her up as their bodies rose from the deck. Then they wrapped an arm around her as they crashed into the wood. They hit their heads but were able to minimise the damage.

Just as they thought that their situation could not get any worse they looked at the hole in the water in front of them. When they looked closer and their stomachs dropped upon seeing the spiraling water of a whirlpool!

They all looked pale as the ship moved closer and closer to the edge of the spiral. The captain did all that he could to steer the ship away from it however it did nothing. The ship raced closer and closer to the whirlpool. Then they entered and stated to drop. They heard a shopping of a scream and saw Nator fall out and was thrust right into the center of the whirlpool leaving nothing but a clouds of blood in the water. 

The three looked at each other and willed the ship to get our and away. Yet even this was useless. Then they all willed the water to rise and become steady. This caused the water to flatten out and they managed to keep the water form returning to a whirlpool until the ship was safely away.

Yet they knew that they were still not in the clear. She heard another scream add someone else took the death plunge.

Is this really all that I can do? Come on there must be more! If only the storm wasn't here!

Wait, 'if only the storm wasn't here'....

Could I? Is that really possible?

Well, there is only one way to find out!

She closed her eyes and focused and concentrated all her magic to the storm. She willed it to calm and the clouds to part. Yet, even though she could feel the clouds moving, she knew that she was just not enough. She tried to clear cloud after cloud and stop the wind but the clouds seemed to many and the wing was just to strong for her to calm. In face the most that she could do was weaken it slightly. She could not do it alone.

At that moment lightning struck party of the ship. She willed it top be put out.

"We need to stop the ship!" She shouted at the other two.

They nodded and as they started to will the storm to go they spotted a tornado in front of them. The Captain steered the ship accordingly and Steel raced around that sails accordingly. They all looked at it.

"Alright! I think one of you should focus on that and the other focus on the storm." Cerpheres sang.

"I will do the storm, girl, you do the tornado."

"And I will enhance your magic power. Also! Cari! With the wind inside the tornado out. That ought to do it!" He sang.

"And you should know?"

He put on a mischievous smile.

"Of course!"

She closed her eyes and focused on the tornado. Soon the spy was getting closer and closer and they all could feel the power of the wind as all clung on tightly as the ship started to lift. She focused her power to the center of the tornado and pushed all the power she could to will the wind outwards and the ship was driven back and flew in the air for a moment as the tornado vanished. This then gave her an idea and willed the ship to fly onwards as far as she could and then let the ship gently touch the waves. She felt a great tiredness overwhelm her as she knew that she had pushed herself too much.

Yet she did what she could to push herself on and used the last of what she had left to will Chashathrophogh to become stronger and the storm soon vanished. She smirked slightly as she collapsed.

"Oi! Ye three! Ye stopped the storm?"

"Yes we did!" Cerpheres purred, his cheeks and forehead were red. "It was good! You two are so,  very good!"

"Stop it!" They said together.

He put on a false innocent look.

"What? Now if you don't mind Captain, I'll be taking a bath."

"Go on ye lo' ye earned i'!"

Scar Parents Fight Part Three

  Hunter’s Defence  Scar opened her eyes. She then walked down the stairs. She slowly took out her homework, just to take her mind off the day before she started doing it. She started with her maths to fode her mind to focus. She then moved onto literacy. After she had done both her mind felt sharp and clear of all of the upset. She looked up, it was half past seven. She then took a slice of bread. She then put it in the toaster and pulled out a tin of beans. Half of them had already been eaten the day feforeshe then put it in the bowl and then put it in the microwave for a minute. As she waited she picked up a newspaper. Three women arrested. They claimed to be witches yet none have any drugs in their system. They were arrested  for killing four children. When asked why they claimed  it was to obtain power. So they've been arrested. Good! She heard the beeping and soon put the beans on the plate then took the toast out and soon took out a fork. After ripping the toast in half she

The Nine Dragons The Serpent Dragon Part Three

  The Boa Army Loc was working hard in the field. It was getting to evening time. She had found that she liked working there as a farmer. There was just something so satisfying in doing hard work and made the food taste better and she slept better too. She could see herself doing this for the rest of her life however long that would be, yet she knew that she could not. Regardless of how much she liked the village and the people there. She had noticed that the people there looked almost like the people in her world just without any pupils and they were weaker too. She also noticed that despite this, they were all hard working and nothing was eaten until they had done their work. During this time she had completely recovered her whole energy and strength from all of the battles that she had on that day. She had also been able to gather her thoughts and psychology recovered and was able to have her time of mourning her losses from her rebellion. Yet she found that this might have been due

Doormaze Drage The Purple Artefacts Part Six

 The Purple Monster  “Why?” “Open the book and put all of the other Purple Artefacts into the page that it fits.” Doormaze nodded as she opened the book. On the first page as a hole where she put the Purple Purl in. The page glowed and for a moment. When the glowing died down the purl was in the page, almost like a picture. She then turned another page. There was another hole with a flower hole in. She then placed the Purple Flower in. It glowed and soon the flower was in the book. She turned the page, where she placed the Purple Feather in.  Once it became a picture the book glowed. Soon light flooded the room. All had to close their eyes as the light became far too bright. Then Doormaze no longer felt the book in her hands. She opened her eyes to see a light above her hands almost like a miniature star. What is this? Then it became so bright she had to close her eyes again. Then she felt something covering her body. It felt light and comfortable. Her eyes opened to see that she was c

Doormaze Drage The Purple Artefacts Part Four

  The Purple Book They travelled down the cave in West Mountain for an entire day. Yet they did not leave until the following day. They left the cave to see a group of small houses. They were all small and in the style of King Garnet’s castle. “This is the abandoned town of Faiton. It’s here somewhere. So I think we will have to go in them to find it. You need not worry, there has not been a single person seen here in decades.” The other three nodded. “And what does this next artefact look like?” “It is a purple book. It is made from the same material as the crystal flower.” “Right. Then, let’s split up and explore every house.” Doormaze spoke, punching her fist. “And mark the door of the house that has been checked and leave the door open while it's being checked.” “Good thinking.” They all split and walked into the first house that was closest to them. They all started on the ground floor. Then the first floor and the second floor. Upon seeing nothing, they left the house. They p

Doormaze Drage The Purple Artefacts Part Three

  The Purple Flower They, because it was late when they reached the top chamber, decided to take a break. They lit a fire and, after cooking a small stew, started to eat. “Now, tomorrow, where to next?” “Well, Doormaze, we must travel over the Flower Bridge. It used tobe a small village on a large plot of land that the other mouth of the cave leads to. The houses were too and far between. It was mainly covered in many different purple flowers.” “And that’s why it’s called Flower Bridge?” “Well, that is because of the plot of land that joins the East Mountain, which we are in, and West Mountain, which is where the Purple Flower is in, is naturally formed.” “And there is nothing underneath it.” “No.” “Well,” She said, finishing her meal. “That’s something to sleep on.” After they all ate their meal,they went to sleep. Doormaze dreamed of Natalie again. She opened her, now dragon, eyes. She walked over to the dragons. They were sound asleep. She smiled as she turned away from them. She wa

Scar Parents Fight Part Four

  Mother’s Knife Scar woke. She saw Morara right in front of her. She dived back as she punched her. She tried to unbuckle, yet she noticed that she soon noticed that it was jammed. She tried to pull the belt but that too was jammed. She tried to pull it again and again and again but it did nothing. She looked up in fear as she saw the knife coming at her. She quickly dived out of the way then the knife turned to her. She tried to punch her but she caught her wrist. She tried to pull her hand out of her hand. Yet she was too strong. She saw the knife getting closer and closer. She hit the arm as hard as she could which made her drop the knife. She then finally pulled out more of her belt and fell out. She then felt a slit in her arm. She let out a whimper as she looked up at Morana went to stab her again and again. She kicked her again and again and again. She looked at both Alex, who was unconscious. She drove her hands to his belt and she pulled the belt and he hit his head as he fel

Scar Parents Fight Final Part

  Assassin’s Sacrifice  Charlotte, knowing that none of them had any time or chance to call an ambulance, ran. She knew where the hospital was and that none of them had any time to lose. She ran down the street as fast as she could. Yet it must have been obvious where she was running to as Morana looked at her innanyer and knew in that moment she would kill to stop her from going there.  Her parents had the exact expression on their faces when she had to stop pretending that she was a boy. After all, they always wanted a boy and when she was born a girl they tried to turn her into one. But the only thing that reminded them that she was a girl was her name, which they shortened to Charlie at one point. Just to keep the illusion that she was a boy alive in their deluded minds. The only thing that got her out of that situation was the series of dead girls that were her sisters and only one son being alive at the cost of her neglect. Van Kira, she remembered his name was. “Oh no you don’t!
