A Captain her Firstmate and a Revolutionary Crew

Captain Alendia was standing on the port side of the upper deck. It had been well roughly thirty minutes since the ship was deliberately driven into a storm. Though the storm drove them off course from Samarkand they have been more or less drifting on the ocean. The reason for this was a very special cargo that was important to the Captain had fallen overboard. The crew and the first mate all knew in their minds that they would never again see the Captains one night stand lover. Every time a person that usually bed's the Captain always seemed to meet an end. The crew knew that it wasn't fate that ended those who bedded her, for Alendia deliberately killed all her lovers who didn't live up to her expectations. Most of the time when she killed her Bedder's She made it look like an accident. She would very rarely just bluntly get a gun and shoot them. While the crew had these thoughts the Captain had different one's. All she could think about was how this man who she drugged and was about to rape took over and threw her expectation's of every man she bedded, out the window.

Long ago she remembered when her daughter Raylyn was born her father was a man with initiative. She thought that man was the person for her, later she found out that he was the scum of the earth. Lying, manipulative and a scoundrel he left her to take care of a child on her own. Fortunately he fucked with the wrong female Assassin. With connections to every known bandit group in Albion her husband was hunted down and brought to her alive. She then took the liberty of torturing and maiming some of his body parts. Then she sacrificed him to the Temple of Skorm and got Magical Augmented throwing knives from the cultists.(What the knives look like.) They were six in all each with three of the same augment, the nature of each augment was Fire, Lightning, Sharpening, Piercing, Silver, Health Augmentations. One for each knife, now every time she uses one or all six they magically respawn back to her. She was also quite skilled in throwing them as well as concealing them.

Their original name was Skorm's teeth but Alendia renamed them the Six Siren's. She felt it necessary to have a weapon for the sea's when she gave up being a assassin. And with all the money she made from assassinations she had a very very hefty amount of it left to pay for a crew and a ship. Though money would not fill the hole in her heart and the unstable erratic ideals of the crew that were slowly getting to them all. It was then that the First Mate was walking to her Captain to have a talk with her.

"Alendia you have to stop this. Searching for an already dead person is gonna make the crew start mutinying. We could already be trying to get out of this predicament and sail for Samarkand like we planned." Her Captain paid no heed to her words she merely just continued staring at the ocean. "Mom you have to think of the crew if they get to thinking that you are using them needlessly to search for one man they will mutiny." Alendia continued staring at the open sea before her, Raylyn didn't want to say this but her mother wasn't even responding to her. "Mom He was just one man who you were going to kill anyway. It's not like he lived up to anyone's expectations especiall-" The Captain turned around and slapped her daughter.

Raylyn was stricken back a few feet, her hand on the spot where she was slapped. Never in her life had her own mother ever slapped her.

"How do you know?" The Captain asked. "How do you know I was going to kill him?" Alendia stated. Some of the crew that was nearby were now watching the exchange between the Captain and First Mate. Captain Alendia stared at her daughter giving her full attention which she wanted, Steeling herself Raylyn said.

"You were going to kill him because it's what you do. No man has and probably ever will live up to your expectations." The Captain furrowed her eyes and kept a calm demeanor. The crew was all surprised at their Captains next actions. It all happened so fast you wouldn't be able to see it. From the sleeve of her coat a concealed knife appeared in her hand. The Captain then pressed the knife to her First Mates neck to feel the sharpness of the blade. Raylyn flinched away thinking her mother was about to kill her. She brought a hand to her neck and brought it away slowly to see she had a minor prick that dropped out a little blood. Though not enough to seriously kill her. With a frown on her face she said rather sadistically.

"You don't know anything about me. You don't know anything of my expectations. And you damn sure as well don't know why I killed all those other people." She stepped closer to her daughter and she took a step back. "You think I killed all of those people cause they didn't live up to my expectations." the same process happened when she took another step closer and she took a step back.

"Do you want to know why they all died. They all died BECAUSE THEY WERE SELF IMPORTANT ASSHOLES LIKE YOUR FATHER." She took another step this time grabbing the collar of her daughters shirt. "They died CAUSE ALL THEY WANTED WAS TO HOARD OUR GOLD, ROB US BLIND, HAVE THEIR WAY WITH US AND LEAVE BROKEN HEARTS OF LOVE." She shoved her daughter away which she went to the safety of the crew. Alendia took a look of all the crew members that were watching and screeched out. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU ALL STANDING AROUND FOR, FIND MY DAMN LOVER ALREADY!" The crew immediately dispersed to their respective stations, Alendia resumed her staring of the sea. Trying with all her heart to will it to bring back her new loved one. As she stared at it Raylyn gathered a few of the crew mates and went down to the lower decks of the ship. While she waited below the crew gathered some more crew that would attend to this urgent meeting being held by the First Mate.

Twenty minutes later and a rough estimate of sixty people were attending the meeting. In the room that was serving as the meeting hall for them a single table with a chair stood in the room. On that chair is where Raylyn sat with a Grey, Tan, Black cat on her lap. Once all the people in the room were settled Raylyn stood up and put the cat on the table.

"I have called you all to this meeting cause we have a crisis on our hands." Some people started murmuring amongst themselves. Raylyn raised a hand up and everyone became silent. "As some of you have no doubt seen or heard my mothers outburst. I have taken it into my own hands to fill the needs of the crew. Who here thinks the Captain is using her crew to search for one man only to kill later." There was a silence. "Well come on raise your arms." Nearly everyone raised their arms. "Well that settles it we are going to relieve the Captain of her duties, until her mind is in the right place. Then we will set sail for Samarkand like we originally planned." Most of the crew started murmuring to themselves, One particular pirate had left the group, he walked with the utmost haste weaving through other crew members to get to the top deck. As he stepped out into the upper deck he prepared himself for what lies ahead.

Walking over to were the Captain was standing he prepared his to confront her.

"Do you know your daughter is planning a mutiny down below." Alendia just stood there continuing to stare at the sea.
"Aren't you gonna do anything to stop them?" Alendia answered.

"No Grandpa I aint gonna do a thing till she confronts me." He smiled and said.

"I aint your granpa and my name is Pete if you still remember it." She turned around and smiled at Pete.

"I know Pete I just love giving you a hard time."

"HMPH... Well instead of giving CRAZY old me a hard time you can tell me what your plan is."

"You still don't like being called Crazy Old Pete do you." Pete harrumphed and said.

"Still haven't told me your plan for this mutiny yet." she turned back around to face the sea slowly and said.

"Whats there to plan I'll just kill all of those who defy me." Raising an eyebrow Pete said.

"That is the most horrible plan in the world." Alendia lowered her head and started laughing. This caused some of the crew that were around to stare. Most of them started thinking maybe she is crazy, then Alendia shouted.

"GET BACK TO WORK YOU SLACKERS." This caused them to immediately go back to resuming their jobs, and even ask more questions of how she knew they weren't working.

Pete chuckled at some of the crews misfortune.

"It seems your maternal instincts haven't softened yet."

"Well I got to keep them sharp if I have to show them not to mess with me." Pete took a step closer and put a hand on Alendia's shoulder.

"Aye that ye do, that ye do." Alendia took a deep sigh and asked.

"If I have to fight my own crew will you help me at least?" Pete put on a smile and answered.

"Well I can probably take on the crew while you take down your mutinying daughter, just don't expect me to go easy on them." Alendia smiled, she could always depend on those that were loyal to her.

"When this is all over I think I'll make you my First Mate. Always needed a man with knowledge and complete loyalty." They both heard a plethora of footsteps headed in their direction. They turned around to be greeted by sixty men and a mutinying First mate.

"Captain we have come to a conclusion that you are unfit to lead this ship and must be replaced until you are back to your senses." The First mate/daughter stated for all to hear. Alendia crossed her arms and shook her head no.

"You think I am gonna let you take over my ship, Hah like that will ever happen." Raylyn narrowed her eyes and pointed a finger at her mother.

"You are needlessly using your crew to search for a person who is lost at sea that we will never see again. You will either forget this business and take command or Hand it over to us and we will go back to our business." Pete took a look at Alendia and she did the same. He motioned for the hatch at the front of the ship with his head. Alendia nodded and turned her head back to the mutinying crew before her.

"Alright it seems you all wont listen to me so this is how we are gonna do it. All those who are still loyal to me step forward." None of the crew did except the cat. The cat waltzed on over to her beloved captains side and rubbed her head against her legs. Alendia smiled cause her loyal cat Samhain had chosen her instead of the mutinying crew. She gave him to Pete and said. "Keep him safe and out of harms way." Turning back to the rest of the crew she said. "Anyone else that is still loyal please step forward." Again no one stepped forward. "Now for those who don't want to die and for all those non essential crew personal I want you to go down to the lower decks." Five of the mutinying soldiers went below with the non essential personal crew that was on the deck. Sighing Alendia hoped for more of the mutineers to go down below with them. "Alright all of you take your best shot."

As is in formation they all brought out various flintlock pistols and rifles out. They took point and were prepared to fire. Raylyn gave the signal by raising her hand and lowering it down. Pete dashed for the hatch taking cover behind some barrels from the fire. Alendia dashed over the railing and took cover by hanging off the side of the ship. Another line of shot's fired and Pete was pinned down. Alendia shimmied to the side and brought out her Bladed pistols. Doing a duck and cover she fired her shots into the mass of mutineers hitting one in the shoulder. A plethora of shots fired in her direction and she ducked back down. Pete along with Samhain dashed to the hatch and he opened it up and jumped down inside. The fire was now entirely focused on The Captain, she continued her only option of duck and covering then firing when they didn't fire. Raylyn ordered the mass to start taking cover behind anything and continue firing. Having getting tired of being pinned down she brought out one of the six sirens and threw it at a barrel. The Knife made contact and immediately exploded causing those behind the barrels to get obliterated from the impact.

Raylyn knew that her mother had started using her Throwing knives. This could be a problem for her and those on her side for even one could be devastating. They continued firing at the captain completely unaware that from the hatch Pete rose along with Samhain and the most devastating cannon on the ship with a table full of ammunition to aid it.. Raylyn saw it by the corner of her eye and forgot about it completely. There would be no winning now cause of it.

Pete aimed the Gatling gun at a group of people behind some cover and released hell on them. It made a sound of repeating gun fire each time Pete cranked the handle.(What it sounds like) The bullets ripped past the makeshift cover the group of riflers were using and embedded themselves into their body's. They were hit hard and blood could be seen flowing out of their body's. After a full minute of continuous firing Pete paused to reload. Mutineers started firing at him causing him to duck while still reloading. Alendia brought out another knife and threw it pass some mutineers. Lightning coursed through the ship hitting any and all mutineers along the way electrocuting them to death. Alendia took more cover as bullets started flying past her head. Pete had finished reloading the Gatling gun and assaulted another group of mutineers behind cover. Alendia got out from her covering point and barrel rolled to another position. Using her bladed pistols as swords she started slicing through Mutineers to get to her daughter.

Raylyn saw her mother headed towards her and had to do something about it. She ordered any and all mutineers to focus their fire on Pete while she deals with her mother. They complied and focused their fire on Pete. Happening to reload he took more cover. Raylyn brought out her special cutlass a gift from her very mother herself, which she named The Tidereaper.

Raylyn brought down her Cutlass down upon her mother and Alendia blocked by crossing her blade pistols together. In a swift movement Alendia scissored her daughters sword and made Raylyn lose her grip on it with a circular twist motion. While her blade pistols scissored the sword she swung it to a nearby barrel and made it stuck there. She then aimed one of her pistols at her daughter and said.

"Check mate." With that single word the mutineers all stopped firing cause their leader had been stopped. They threw down their guns and surrendered. Alendia called out to the crew below in the lower decks and some slowly started coming out to see the wreckage of the ship. Bullet holes seemed to be everywhere and broken barrels were in several places. The Captain motioned for two crew mates to come on over by her side. She ordered the mutineers be locked up along with her daughter as well. They took them below deck to the cells and the others started repairing of the ship. Pete walked from the Gatling gun to his Captain and gave her back the cat. Alendia happily took Samhain and nuzzled him, she then heard the sound of seagulls and saw some headed towards an island. It looked like an old fortress with overgrown jungle. Alendia told Pete to plot a course for the island so they can gather supply's and she also had a feeling her Lover was there as well.


Author's Note

Another chapter another fight. Except this was more of a massacre from one man. Again this is more filler but good filler I hope. Anyway it's always hard to deal with mutineers especially if your own flesh and blood is leading them. Also introduced another character. Though he will probably be a minor one.
