A Beginning Of Any Great Matter-Nathan Drake x OC

Prologue(Edited)

"There must be a beginning of any great matters, but the continuing unto the end until it be thoroughly finished yields the true glory."

-Sir Francis Drake, 1587

"I'm off the coast of Panama, where we've just recovered what we believe to be the coffin of legendary explorer Sir Francis Drake, who was buried at sea over 400 years ago." 

I watch from the side of the boat as Nathan opens the coffin with a crowbar whilst a woman named Elena Fisher records it all for some kind of TV show.

"Are you sure you wanna be defiling your ancestor's remains like that?" Elena asks as she stops recording, Nathan stops opening the coffin and Elena starts recording Nate.

"You make it sound so dirty" Nathan laughed before Nathan could finish I shout from across the boat.

"Only you would think that Nate!" which caused Nate to laugh more, he moves to the other side of the coffin now next to Elena and finishes what he was going to say "Besides, I thought you didn't believe me."

"Well, I did do my research. And apparently, Francis Drake didn't have any children" Here we go again, it seems to everyone that Drake had no children and Nathan always denied him having no children.

"Well, History can be wrong, you know" and that was an answer he has never given before. He normal replies 'Not with his wife in England'. "For example-You can't defile an empty coffin," he says as he opens up the coffin. I move towards the coffin and help Nate open it and Nate was right, it was empty.

"What the hell-?" Nathan and I both kneel down beside the coffin, Elena standing behind us as she films Nathan pulling out a slowly rusting, metal box. He opens it up to reveal and a small notebook, I look over Nate's shoulder as he starts flicking through the book, which has a load of drawings and information in it. Nate and I look at each other with a smile.

"You devil" He laughs now looking back at the book

"What is it? C'mon hold it up-"Elena said but Nathan denied, I knew he would regret allowing her to come and signing the contract.

"No, no, no- no way" as he pushes the camera away from the book "The deal was the coffin, that's it"

"Wait a minute, if my show hadn't funded this expedition, you wouldn'tve"

"Hey, hey you got your story, lady"

"Look, Mr Drake, you signed the contract" I was waiting for her to say that, I turn towards Nate.

"I did warn you not to sign the contract but you didn't listen!" I said harshly which caused him to laugh and I could tell Elena was getting annoyed.

"I have a right to see every single thing-" Nathan quickly cut her off "Whoa whoa...could you hold that thought?" I lean against the rail of the boat as Nate radio's my father. I watch as boats start to get closer, I grab my gun from one of the wooden crates before walking towards a box with two guns and ammo. I quickly open it and grab one for Elena before handing it to her and asking.

"Do you know how to use one of these?" Quickly cutting of Nate and Elena's conversation about the pirates which are getting closer every second, I had the gun in front of me. "Yeah, It's like a camera... you just point and shoot, right?" she asks and takes the gun off me and I reply.

"Good girl"

"Here we go" I hear Nate say, I quickly hide behind one of the wooden boxes, near the railing and start shooting the pirates on the boat.

"How the hell did they find us out here?" Elena asks Nate as she hid behind the box next to me, I could tell she was scared.

"These guys have been tailing us for weeks" Nate replies as he helps me kill the pirates. "What did you do to piss them off?" before Nate could answer I reply for him "It's a long story now helps us kill these guys!"

I quickly get up and shoot the barrel on the boat causing an explosion which killed the rest of the men on the boat. Another boat comes past but before they could start shooting Nate, shot the barrel, just like I had done previously. Why do they have them on the boats? What's the point?

More boats come by some of the pirates climbs into our boat so Nate and I both had to try and fight them off the boat, as Nate punches one I kick the other off the boat and before he could come back up I shoot him in the head. Another boat comes by one of the men had a rocket launcher so we need to take him out and FAST. Unfortunately, there was no barrel on there for us to shoot. I hear Nate on the other side of the boat shouting.

"Whooo! All right Sully!" I look up to see my father's water plane, I start cheering also, my father flies straight past causing the boat with the man with the rocket launcher to almost tip over but not fast enough for the man to blow up our ship

We all group in the middle and Nate panicked "Whole ship's gonna explode! We gotta jump!" before we could Elena decides to go back to collect her camera. She's going to get us KILLED, so I leave them to it and dived into the water and waited for them to jump in. They both jump in as the ship exploded. I start swimming towards the plane my father just landed.

"I can't leave you alone for a minute, can I?" My father laughs who is no surprises smoking a cigar which Nate replied "I had everything under control until they blow up the boat"

"Yeah...whatever you say, Nate," I said as I swam up to him, he looks at me with a smile.

"I'm glad your alright" which caused me to smile, my father places a ladder by the door and I start to climb up as Nate asks Elena "You alright?"

"Nothing that a few years of therapy won't fix" she replies holding the camera above her head, my father grabs the camera and starts helping her out of the water and as he did he compliments her and after introducing themselves they leave Nate to climb in by himself so I decide to go and help him, I grab his hand and pull him up which he thanks me for and closes the door.

I walk away and sit on the floor as Nate asks "Whaddya say we get out of here before we attract any more attention?" and with that, we flew across the sea to get back where our other boat is. I stand behind Nate and dad.

"Well?" my father asks still smoking his cigar which I hate him doing. Nate holds the small book up and replies "A little present from Sir Francis" which dad laughs and asks "So you found the coffin? Wait a minute-is it what I think it is?"

"Drake's lost diary"
