The Black Sail Of The Storm Hawks (Pirate AU)

Chapter Three - Break In

In the dead of night, Aerrow along with Radarr and Stork arrived near the mansion of Admiral Cyclonis. Aerrow turns to Stork.

Aerrow: Remember the plan Stork. If any of them Cyclonian bastards are about, give us a whistle!

Stork: A whistle? Like that's not gonna draw any attention......

Aerrow: Better than yelling. Let's go Radarr! Through that window!

Aerrow and Radarr then climb up the window and get inside the Cyclonian Mansion. As the two sneak through the mansion, they come across Cyclonis's office. Aerrow could overhear a conversation. Inside the room, Cyclonis was speaking with an adviser. 

Admiral Cyclonis: Any word from Dark Ace?

Cyclonian Adviser: Yes Admiral! He found the location of the missing Talon! It seemed he was killed and his body was looted!

Upon hearing this, Cyclonis recalled Aerrow's answer about the mission Talon. 

Admiral Cyclonis: What was looted?

Cyclonian Adviser: A bag of coin and a letter regarding the search for Captain Arygyn's treasure!

Cyclonis then lets a small smile escape her face. 

Admiral Cyclonis: Is that so? 

As Aerrow listens in on the conversation, he hears rapid footsteps coming his way. Acting quickly, Aerrow and Radarr hid under a desk. Just as they hid themselves, the Talon rushed to the door. 

Talon: Admiral Cyclonis! Dark Ace's ship has just reached the harbor!

Admiral Cyclonis: I shall meet with him immediately. 

As she said that, she turned to her adviser.

Admiral Cyclonis: Have a group of Talons apprehend Aerrow Edwards. He'll most likely be staying at the tavern near the mansion. And double the guards while you're at it.

Cyclonian Adviser: Aye Admiral! It will be done immediately!

As Cyclonis left her office with the Talon and the adviser, the three left the mansion to meet with Dark Ace. Once they're out of sight, Aerrow and Radarr exit from their hiding place.

Aerrow: Bloody hell....that was too close!

Radarr then chirps his responses to Aerrow.

Aerrow: You and me both mate....we better be quick about this! Let's find something in that office and get the hell out of here before anyone finds us!

With that being said, Aerrow and Radarr begin searching the office for a clue that could lead to Captain Arygyn's treasure. As they searched, Radarr found something in Cyclonis's desk and quietly chirped to Aerrow.

Aerrow: You found something?

Aerrow walked over to the desk as Radarr presented a journal to Aerrow. The young Irish pirate began flipping through the pages of the journal and was stunned. 

Aerrow: Fucking hell.....this is Captain Arygyn's private journal! This is what we've been looking! If I can decipher this, then that treasure is as good as ours! 

Aerrow then gave the journal to Radarr.

Aerrow: All right mate. We'll split up! You go out the back while I go out the window. We'll meet back with Stork!

The blue monkey gave a thumbs up as he made his way out back. Aerrow climbed down the window to look for Stork. 

Aerrow: Stork? Stork? Where the hell are ya?!

Suddenly, two Talons jump Aerrow and restrain him. Aerrow attempts to fight back but is unable to. 

Aerrow: Get the fuck off of me you thieving bastards!

As Aerrow struggles, Cyclonis and Dark Ace approach Aerrow.

Admiral Cyclonis: That's rich coming from you. 

Aerrow: The hell do you want?

Admiral Cyclonis: Dark Ace. Do you recognize this one?

Dark Ace takes a closer at Aerrow. Upon doing so, he smiles.

Dark Ace: Aye. He was on the Phantom. He killed a few Talons before the storm sent him overboard.

Aerrow then proceeds to spit at Dark Ace's face. When the Cyclonian captain wipes the spit off his face, he proceeds to punch Aerrow in the face. Aerrow simply laughs. 

Aerrow: Is that the best you got you Cyclonian son of a whore?! My dead Ma can hit harder than that! 

Dark Ace restrained himself from straight up killing Aerrow. Cyclonis then checked Aerrow's pockets and grabbed the letter. After looking at it, Cyclonis smiles.

Admiral Cyclonis: It's not your place to loot a corpse? Hhm. That was a bold move Edwards. A bold move indeed. Now what does a simple minded pirate want with Captain Arygyn's treasure? 

Aerrow: I think we both know the answer to that?

Dark Ace: What shall we do with him? Should we kill him or should we make an example out of him. Hanging his corpse for all of Cyclonia would show them what happens to thieves and pirates. 

Cyclonis took a moment to think of her options. Aerrow quickly realized the situation he was in. He knew that his fate lie in Cyclonis's hands. He heard stories of her ruthlessness and cruelty. Chances of survival seemed slim and his dreams of wealth and glory would be laid to waste. But as his thoughts scattered, a Talon approached Cyclonis.

Talon: Admiral! The one we found hiding in the bushes has been loaded up in the slave ship! Shall I give the captain the order to make the delivery?

Aerrow: Stork.....bloody hell

As the Talon says that, Cyclonis looks to Aerrow and flashes a wicked smile. 

Admiral Cyclonis: Deliver this on aboard as well. I imagine someone like Mr. Edwards would bring good profit. 

Aerrow: Like hell you will!

Aerrow attempts to free himself, but Dark Ace knocks him out with the butt of his Flintlock Pistol. As the Talons brought the unconscious Aerrow aboard the Cyclonian Slaver brig, Radarr tailed the Cyclonians. As the brig began to set sail, Radarr wrapped his tail around the journal of Captain Arygyn and climbed onto the ship as it set sail for it's destination.
