35 Trial Of The First Ring XI : Escaping From Pirates (1/2)

So the ship was already loaded onto the cargo ship? There was nothing we could do about it's current state, not without the help of a mechanic or engineer. Preferably an engineer as those guys work well with both the electrical and mechanical stuffs.

I could learn to fix the ship myself, but without prior knowledge or a schematic to work from, it would take me a long ass time. which is why Darke and Mack were standing beside me at the docking bay, waiting for Jack and Zack who I had sent looking for someone who would fix the ship.

But our waiting was not exactly comfortable, seeing as we were being stared at by a couple hundred shifty looking pirate dudes. It was unsettling, and the fact that none of the could hide the greed and murderous tendencies in their eyes, totally unsettled me. I was a battle maniac, but fighting hundreds of pirates was nothing but suicide.

As if on cue, Jack and Zack made their way through the crowd, a d they were dragging a fourteen year old girl behind themselves...….wait a minute, that's no fourteen year old! She looks at least 30. But she was so short,barely reaching five feet, and she had on this massive bag pack.

”Master Aaren, if we hope to keep our lives, I believe we should get the hell of this trash heap!” Jack said to me as he drew closer.

”Hunh! Why? What's wrong?”

”No time for questions bird boy, let's get out of here now, or our corpse would become dinner to the outland scavengers!”

The short girl...err woman said to me as we all rushed up the ramp and into the cargo ship, coming up to the cargo hold where the black pearl was currently lying.

”Sweet mother of elven tits, you won the ship! How?”

Mack screamed as it Impressive but still very damaged form of the legendary ship loomed over his figure.

We all ignored him, and got into the cockpit, everybody findinga seat and strapping themselves in. The short woman who threw her incredibly large bag over a seat and strapped it in too. The she sat opposite me, and watched as with a worried look on her face as Darke initiated the take off procedures.

It was then I got to take a closer look at her. She had fiery red hair, white horns that curved to her back like crescent moons, slitted pink eyes, fair skin that was smudges with grease and dirt, and tipped ears like an elf, only a bit shorter and broader.

She had on a mechanics jumpsuit, and over her head, an aviator goggle was hanging precariously. But even with her small size, and the fact that she was wearing a rather baggy jumpsuit, her curves and incredible bust size could not be hidden. She was a bit on the plump side, but my if she wasn't voluptuous. And that chest! How could she move with those?

”Hey! Keep your eye's straight you pervert!”

To say I felt embarrassed was an understatement, at the moment all I could was thank all the gods that I knew for my darker skin. If not, I'm sure I would probably be blushing from the soles of my feet to the crown of my head. Guess my flirting/charismatic mode was currently deactivated.

Thankfully the cargo ship began to move, dragging our attention away from the somewhat awkward atmosphere. We've only begun to move for about ten minutes, when the cargo ship came to a jarring stop. This was the reason why seat belts were invented.

”Incoming hail from a pirate ship Jack.” Mack said from his position beside Darke.

”Patch it through.” Jack said as we all turned our attention to the massive ship almost ten times the size of ours flying opposite ours in the air.

(Hohoho! Greetings elflings. My name is captain Tobias Clint, the pirate king of this here Quadrant 1. Nice to meet you.)

”What can we do for you Captain Tobias Clint?” Jack asked

(Oh! It's nothing much, or troublesome. It's just that you guys visited, and didn't stay long enough to properly enjoy the hospitality of our fine city, not to mention you're leaving with a very important historical relic of great city. Now that's not so nice, so in regards to our well know hospitality: which we're so eager to show you, why don't you land your cargo ship and join me for a cup of tea.)

The voice of captain Tobias Clint was edgy and deep. However there was a crazy like cackle to it, sort of like the Joker. I couldn't help but shudder.Darke noticed something and put the communication on hold for a moment, before turning to us.

”We're being surrounded by pirate ships! And the ship in front of us has us stuck in a tractor beam. But it's charge is not strong enough, so we can break free from it. However I don't think we can escape the planet with this much pirates around us. We might have no other choice but to land.”
