After being captured by the Cyclonians, Aerrow woke up after being knocked out by Dark Ace. He woke up being looted by a blond haired man.

Aerrow: Oi! What the fuck are ya doing?!

Upon seeing Aerrow awake, the blond haired man quickly stopped and backed away. 

Blond Haired Man: You're alive?! 

Aerrow: Of course I'm alive! Now fuck off of me!

Aerrow looked around his surroundings. He wasn't familiar with them. He heard the sound of the waves crashing against the ship. 

Aerrow: Where are we?

Blond Haired Man: We're on board a Cyclonian slaver brig currently heading for somewhere unpleasant. Ah! Where are me manners?! The name's Finn Kenway! 

Aerrow: Edwards. Aerrow Edwards. 

Finn: A pleasure to meet you Aerrow! Now what brings you.....

Talon: Oi! Quiet down! 

As the Talon turns his back, Radarr climbs through a window. 

Aerrow: There you are Radarr! You're a sight for sore eyes! 

Radarr chirps to Aerrow as he discreetly hands Aerrow the journal. Finn soon catches his attention. 

Finn: I'm going to assume you want out. Well have no fear my friend! I was actually planning an escape! 

Aerrow: How so mate? 

Finn: This ship is undermanned. There's more or us then them. If we can get the keys off that guard, we'll be able to take over this ship!

Aerrow: And what about the ships escorting us? 

Finn paused upon hearing this. He never took the escort ships into consideration. Despite this, Finn remains cocky. As Finn tries to come up with a plan, Aerrow spots a blue haired Spanish woman walking towards the Talon. He immediately becomes smitten with her.  

Aerrow: Bloody hell....who's that lass?

Finn: I don't know. I've seen her around the ship a few times. She doesn't seem to be a prisoner. 

But as Aerrow was eyeing her, he and Finn notice the girl taking the keys off the Talon while seducing him. As the Spanish girl walks away, Aerrow turns to Radarr.

Aerrow: Radarr. Get those keys off that Spanish lass and bring em here!

Radarr salutes Aerrow as he gets out of the cell and tails the Spanish girl. Meanwhile, Aerrow and Finn try to form a plan.

Aerrow: Can we trust anyone here?

Finn: You see that big Frenchman over there?

Aerrow then points to a big Frenchman locked in a cell right across from there. 

Finn: His name is Junko St. Pierre. Don't let his appearance fool you. He may look like a mean bastard, but he's a good man. Wouldn't hurt a fly unless pushed to it. 

Aerrow: Got it. 

Meanwhile, Radarr follows the Spanish girl and manages to snatch the keys off of her pockets. He then returns to Aerrow's cell and hands him the keys. 

Aerrow: Nice work! 

Aerrow then takes the keys and opens the cell. He then attacks the guard and knocks him out. 

Finn: Nice going Aerrow!

As the imprisoned pirates began shouting fro release from their cells, Aerrow silences them.

Aerrow: I'm in need of a crew! And I think you are the right group of bastards for this endeavor! Sign on with my crew and I promise you riches and freedom beyond your wildest dreams! Will will join me?!

Aerrow then walked over to Junko's cell and opens it. He knew that if Junko joined his crew, then the others would soon follow. 

Aerrow: What do you say Mr. St. Pierre? Will you join me crew? 

Aerrow extended his hand to Junko. After a brief moment, Junko lifts up Aerrow and bear hugs the Irishman. 

Junko: An enemy of Cyclonians is a friend of mine! 

Aerrow: Finn. Let them all out. 

Finn: Aye aye captain! 

As Finn began release the imprisoned pirates from their cells, Aerrow is approached by the Spanish girl.

Spanish Girl: You're either very smart or very foolish. 

Aerrow: Ain't that the truth lass?

Spanish Girl: I know it was you who stole my keys.

Aerrow: And I know you stole them off that Talon fella, but we're not judging lass. I'm Aerrow. Aerrow Edwards. You?

Piper: The name's Piper Escuella. 

Aerrow: A pleasure to meet you Ms. Escuella! Now what's a pretty face like yours doing on board a Cyclonian brig?

Piper: I'm looking for a man. 

Aerrow: I'm right here. 

Piper ignored Aerrow's advances. 

Piper: I'm looking for a man called the Colonel. He sails on a Cyclonian Frigate. 

Aerrow: Join my crew. Help me on my endeavors and we'll find the Colonel and you can do whatever you wish to him. 

Piper took a moment to think on Aerrow's offer. At this point, she saw little choice. Whatever plan she had for tracking him down was no longer an option. 

Piper: Very well. I'll join your crew...for now...

Aerrow flashed a cocky smile towards Piper. After that, Finn had released all the imprisoned pirates including Stork. 

Aerrow: Looks like we're back on track Stork! 

Stork: It appears so....

Piper: So how do you intend on escaping the other Cyclonian ships escorting this ship?

As Aerrow thought up of a plan, he could hear the sound of thunder in the distance. That could only mean a storm was coming. In this storm he saw an opportunity. 

Aerrow: Listen us lads! Arms yourselves! We're gonna show these Cyclonian bastards what we're made of! Let's take this ship for ourselves! Who's with me?! Who's bloody with me?!

The pirates roared and cheered for the oncoming threat. Aerrow would lead his new crew to takeover this Cyclonian brig and continue his search for Captain Arygyn's lost treasure.
