Moonhawk

Chapter 7 - Fighting Fears

Both looked directly at him. His visor was almost totally broken on the right side, and his scars told a lot of stories from the past. They have never seen nor heard about such a Captain before. No one had enough courage to say something.

"Pah, morons..." He spoke. Davy and Flash got angry by that, but he didn't care at all. "... to get captured by my weakest impostors on this rusty ship, no less."

Of course, the bonehead heard that as his captain said it and growled at his answer silently in the background.

"Let's see if you both are worth my time." He continued.

Davy struggled to remove the shackling chains from his body. Those chains were getting too heavy for him. Flash and Davy felt more and more uncomfortable to be here. As the captain noticed how much they tried to get the chains off, he sharpishly and slyly laughed again and stepped slowly around them in circles. He leaned his sword on his own shoulder while he walked around them.

"No one can escape the chains. It's no use trying." The black captain then said, with a deep threatening voice.

"Alright, this is ridiculous!" Davy suddenly said in an angered tone. He had enough of all this nonsense, suddenly gathering enough courage to speak. In the hope that something would change their current condition, which they were trapped in. "We don't know why your crew has captured us, nor do we know who you are! We haven't done anything to you! Let us go!"

"Be quiet!" The captain countered back, full of rage, and ignored Davy's questions completely.

He wasn't there to chat with them. He wanted information.

Flash was too afraid to say anything. He didn't know how Davy had mustered enough courage to talk right now. All he was wishing now was to escape this filthy, dusty prison. Sticky, stifling air surrounded them. The yellow bean, in the meantime, had already given up trying to remove those chains as Davy and the captain were talking.

He sighed quietly and hoped the black captain wouldn't hear his mumbling words: "Hawk tried his best to protect us..."

The captain stopped circling around them rather abruptly. He heard the name which fell, clearly. His hatred, to hear that name in his presence again, grew intensely. Even the brown bonehead in the background who was still listening to their conversation could feel how strongly his captain's fury grew.

"... what did you just say?" The sound of the captain's current voice made everyone shiver out of fright.

Flash wished he didn't say anything.

He got way more terrified than in the beginning and couldn't handle this situation any longer. Flash's body started to tremble out of fear.

The yellow engineer spluttered as he spoke: "N-n-nothing ..."

"LIES!" The black one furiously shouted out loud in response, Davy and Flash cringed and flinched by that sudden loud voice. "I clearly heard a name from your mouth. Repeat that again!"

Flash was too afraid by his voice and couldn't get a single word out of his mouth anymore. It was a mistake to whisper that he tried his best to whisper it as quietly as possible, but it seemed like the captain did hear it anyway.

"Captain Pitch, if that information might help", The brown impostor in the background interrupted, the captain didn't like to get disturbed normally, but he was willing to listen to his member, silently. "We fought with their captain on board, and I do remember that he was purple."

"Purple, you say?" He secretly remembered him. His hate towards that certain purple captain was now unbelievably intense. "So, it's him... Captain Hawk."
