Chapter 2: General Stoss?

 “Beautiful gentlemen!” Kaylee exclaimed at the now pirate airship before her. “Ma’am, I got the engine room running properly and we should be able to do double our previous speed.” John said wiping his sweat with a rag when Gabe came up from behind him. “Captain, the men are ready to fly.” “Good. Let’s get a move on people!” she commanded as she walked up the gangplank. Who would want to attack Icapold, she thought to herself as she made her way to the bridge.

  Thanks to John’s repairs on the engines, they reached the port in an hour. What met them there was far from what they were expecting. Very few times had they seen the sheer amount of pirates that fly before them. “No, it can’t be.” Kaylee muttered to herself in fear. The rest of the crew took a second to take in what they were seeing. “Captain? What is th-” “Gabe, scan the ships!” “Aye!” he replied turning to his console and beginning to type away. “100 ships, all ex-military. Capti- Wait! I’m getting one more…no it can’t be,” Gabe’s expression shifted to pure horror “Captain, you’re going to want to see this. Transferring to your monitor now.” “No need Gabe, I know it’s here, he’s here. Nav!” “Yes ma’am!” the young officer shot up from his console awaiting orders. “Bring us around to face that ship!” she commanded, a hint of fear in her voice. With the adjustment of a few levers, the Nav had the ship in view. “Black as night with pure death in its wake, The Black Flower is among us.” She steadied herself with her consoles railing. Sunlight made a peep of fear too break the silence. “It’s okay Sunlight, as long as we stay quiet it won’t notice us.” Gabe spoke up “Captain, is that him?” ‘Yes Gabe, it’s him.” With that the room went silent. Suddenly Kaylee’s telecom phone began to ring making everyone jump. She picked it up, “Captain, why have we slowed?” Johns confused voice drifted through the device, “We figured out who we’re up against.” She said with a frustrated huff. “Who is that?” “You know exactly who! Look at your monitor!” John turned and looked at the screen behind him then back to the telecom, “General Stoss?” “JOHN! You just fracked us all you goddamned ass!” She slammed the telecom down making everyone jump once more. “His name has been uttered, prepare yourselves.” Everyone watched the screen for sings of movement from the black cloud of an airship.

  Over on the Black Flower, John’s recorded voice echoed down its halls and across its decks. “General Stoss? General Stoss? General Stoss?” over and over again. On the bridge, a grizzly figure lounges in an old commanding chair tapping the play button over and over. Around him, men sat at various consoles, one stood and turned to the man. “Captain, we are ready to engage.” The man spoke in such a flat and cold tone it seemed unhuman. “Noted Number Three. Ten, have you identified the voice yet?” the raspy voice of the figure did not sound kind. Four stood, “The voice is that of John Tresse, Currently serving on the ship Dragons Boot, under the command of the captain previously known as the Black Dress.” “Ahh yes. I knew it sounded familiar,” the man stood revealing the remains of his military uniform covered by a cape and various articles of clothes with a golden eagle upon the left of his chest. “Automatons, looks like we have more company. Ready the ship for boarding procedures. Six, patch me into their telecoms, I want to be seen by them.”

 Kaylee jumped as the screen flickered out and reappeared with a white fuzz. “Kaylee, darling, to whom do I owe this most unexpected reunion?” The crew turned to their captain and watched as her fear turned into hatred. “Reunion my ass. I’m here to protect Icapold and stop you!” “Oh, now Kaylee, that’s no way to speak to your father now is it? I may have to scold your for that one honey.” “You’re not my father you ignorant bastard!” Kaylee was getting more enraged by the second. “Well then I’ll just have to reclaim you myself. Prepare to be boarded darling. Oh, and don’t make this hard on me. I won’t hesitate to blow you and your friends right out of my sky, daughter or not.” Kaylee slammed her fist down on the console. “If it’s a fight he wants, then it’s a fight he gets!”
