This is, hopefully, going to be a kind of fight chapter. I mean they're going to be fighting the other pirate ship. Don't know if I'll be able to write an action scene, guess we'll find out!
As always, I.O.N.
Enjoy!

Marinette stood facing the enemy. Now it was just a matter of waiting.
The pre-dawn light was hiding them from the other pirates, who were about to get the shock of their lives.
"The enemy is now in range Captain!" Nathaniel softly shouted.
In an instant, Marinette became the dreaded pirate captain Ladybug. "Well, they've chased us this long, it would be rude of us to ignore them!"

The slave ship Akuma was known throughout the slaving community as a ship willing to find slaves anywhere. Even other ships. Especially ferrying boats with lots of passengers. Wanted on every continent, they were notorious for hijacking smaller or less equipped vessels and killing anyone who even thought about fighting back.
As it would happen they were on their way back from a successful auction and were looking for more, when they spotted the red themed boat. Upon closer inspection, they were able to see that it was a ferry and only lightly armed, and most of the crew were teenagers and females. The crew of Akuma knew that this would be like hunting fish in a barrel.
Despite their best attempts, however, the Red ferry had managed to stay just out of range for many hours, until they had unexpectedly begun to slow. Had it been a better-outfitted boat the slave traders would have suspected a trick, but such a weak watercraft would be unlikely to try and fight the stronger ship.
With dawn approaching, the ferry was temporarily hidden in the glare of the sun. But their temporary shield wouldn't last forever. Within minutes they were close enough to shout at.
"Little ship surrender now and no one will be harmed!" The captain of Akuma shouted, then to his crew he said, "Get the cannon's ready just in case they try and fight, and prepare to board." They laughed as they complied with the command like that dinky ferry would try and fight back!

Ladybug waited until Akuma was preparing its cannons. "FIRE!" She shouted and both cannons on that side fired at the slave ship. Her entire crew was waiting for the moment when the enemy would begin their counter-attack.

Akuma's captain was furious. How dare, such a puny vessel try and attack them! "PREPARE TO BOARD! TAKE NO PRISONERS!" He snarled. The slave ship quickly descended upon the, seemingly innocent, ship.
They were expecting the crew of the red ship to quickly surrender. Not an armed and experienced pirate crew that was ready to fight back.

The fight for the Red Lady, better known as Tikki, was swift and decisive, the fight to take control of Akuma, however, was not.
They put up a valiant fight but in the end, the crew of Akuma was tied up and their ship captured.
Ladybug quickly retired to her cabin, changed her clothes and returned as Marinette. "The captain has requested her second in commands to converse with her on what to do with the newly obtained ship!" The pigtailed girl said loudly enough that the imprisoned pirates on the other ship could hear and see that she was in fact not the captain of Tikki.
Her crew had seen an act like this multiple times, so none were really that surprised. Turning to Juleka, she whispered, "Go get Alix and Kim." with a small pause she added, "And Adrien if he's at the front if he isn't, don't worry about it."
The ruby-eyed girl nodded, "Aye aye Captain!" she whispered back with a small smile, before running to follow the order.

Well, this was interesting to write. Kind of strange to write the story from two points of view-ish hope I did a good job!
I am a horrible author, and can't update on even a semi-regular basis!
