Sky Pirates vs Sky Ninjas

Ruiz

I stalked the ship. It has been awhile since I saw anyone, and that was fine.

I studied the map of the ship on the back of my hand. I was next to the crew quarters, which was extremely dangerous. I don't trust anyone, but I guess that was my way.

I stuffed my hands in my pocket instinctly as I heard footsteps. They were to the right of me. I looked and a door met my vision. It had a small nameplate on the door, reading "Auden Marle."

I swallowed and walked past the door hurridely. The door behind me opened.

Auden Marle
She stroked my hair, telling me she loved me. She was very pretty with long black hair and pale skin and her slight frame.
He was good looking too. The man smiling down at the two of us. His face was long and angular and he had a short black beard. She smiled back at him and held me close to her. I felt very small but safe in her arms.
My eyes opened to the light overhead. I felt the familiar pang of sadness whenever I woke from that dream. I would have that dream from time to time and sometimes I wondered if maybe they were my parents. I believed in spirits. Maybe they visited me in my dreams.
Turning my head I noticed the time on the clock by the bed. I had been asleep for an hour. Sighing, I rolled out of bed. There was no time to just lie around all day. I headed to the door and pulled it open. I caught a glimpse of somebody as I stepped through the doorway.
"Hello," I muttered, shutting the door. I watched as the young man with blonde hair and his hands buried in his pockets turned to me. He was about my height but didn't quite look my age. He seemed familiar but it was difficult to place a name with a face.
"I've seen you before. What's your name again?"
"Ruiz," he said, expression guarded.
"Well, I'm Auden," I said with my hand out. A few seconds went by before he finally shook my hand. He seemed uncomfortable.
"Where are you headed?" I asked.
"I was just looking around." He shrugged.
"Mind if I join you?"
I did need something to do.
"I don't mind," he said and turned without a word and kept walking. I followed.

I wasn't quite sure what to do with that so yeah lol

One-Eyed-Jim | The Ice Star

They were hard on the tail of that Noni scum when all of a sudden a ship came up on their toes and near rammed into the side of them! It was the ninjas.

Jim was up on deck, armed to the teeth, and the plan had been boarding Captain Noni's ship, but now they had bigger fish to fry.

"You thinking what I'm thinking?" Docco asked as Mercury joined them at the port side and One-Eyed-Jim stared into the gloom. He unhooked a grappling from his belt and nodded, spitting over the side.

Mercury and Wings both did the same (unhooked grapplings as opposed to the optional spitting) and as one, all three of them launched their hooks at the ominous, black ship.

Then things got nasty. Fire rained down and ninjas shimmied along ropes even as the pirates wriggled up theirs. It was a fight of chaos and darkness with war cries streaming across both ships but- a sound louder than anything possible ruptured the air.

"CEASE THIS FIGHTING!" The message blasted out from every corner of the universe, the ship impossible to locate, its owner impossible to define.

"some do-gooder," One-Eyed Jim said with a derisive snort as he drew his sabre and lurched aboard the ninja ship. They would of course be discovered immediately, but Jim and his boys were ready for that.

"This is Captain Rydia of the YWS Fleet. The captain's of these two vessels are politely asked to order their crew to disengage. Failure to do so will forfeit any protection the Fleet offers for them and for their kind." The voice was heard just as clearly on the ninja ship and if Jim hadn't been a pirate, he might have shivered. It was quite this time. Deathly quiet and very polite, the sort of polite that warns you before it sticks a dagger in your back.

"What do you think, Wings?" Mercury asked, looking mean and eager as ever.

"The captain's not called a cease fire yet," Wings replied.

I sat on my bunk running my hair tough my fingers and staring at the ceiling. I slowly get up and stretch not able to stand the silence any longer. As i slip my pocket knife into my boot.

"Mari?" I hear a voice call from down the hall. I quickly try to look like I'm target practicing with my bow. The door opens and in walls Kiera.

"Oh hey Kiera," I say still trying to pretend to aim for the tiny dot on the wall. I slowly release the string and my arrow flies into the center of the dot. Kiera nods in satisfaction as i smirk and flop down onto her bunk. She sits down next to me and starts to braid my hair into a pretty side braid. I smile as her sure fingers fly though my hair. She ties it off with a piece of string as Mercury walks in. He sits down on the bed next to ours and takes out his gun. He takes his time polishing it and then smiles and finally notices me and Kiera staring.

"What are you guys looking at?" He screams at us. We look away and giggle a little. We both agree e is probably the most handsome pirate aboard but neither of us would tell anyone else that, we would lose our respect completely! I decide to take a shot at him and work up a little flirt.

"So, what are you doing tonight?" I say Scooting over to his bunk and pulling my hair out of the braid.

"Nothing," He replies still not looking up from his gun.

"Good, so you wanna maybe hang out around 8:00?" I ask leaning in towards him. Kiera had left the room knowing I could handle him on my own.

"Sure," He says finally looking up. His dark blue eyes stared into mine. He looks away quickly and blushes. I smile and get up to grab my bow.

"Where are you going?" Mercury asks frowning now back to his normal state. I srug and run off smirking planing out how I can steal my bracelet back from him.

Mercury - Preparing to Raid The Silver Shuriken

The brunt of the equipment preparing was done faster than expected, leaving the crew with almost ten minutes of down time to prepare other things. So I return to the bunks to polish my gun, I always had this one gun that the Captain had given to me on my first day of weapons training.

I feel a pair of eye on me and look up, Mari and Keira are staring at me.

"What are you guys looking at?" I yell, laughing.

Mari comes scooting over to my bunk,

"So, what are you doing tonight?"

I think for a minute, "Nothing,"

"Good, so you wanna maybe hang out around 8:00?" She asks leaning towards me.

"Sure," I say looking up, right into her eyes. I quickly look away, blushing.

I had always had a soft spot for Mari, she was certainly a pretty young woman - and she'd been on the ship as long as I had so we'd gotten to get to know each other very well.

It's a few minutes later and I'm near the hull with One-Eyed Jim and Wings, getting ready to storm the enemy ship.

I see Docco ask to him,

"You thinking what I'm thinking?" he unhooks his grapple from his belt and spits over the side.

Oh Hell yes

I unhook my grapple from my belt, free swinging is always a better way to get psyched up.

All hell broke loose after that, we leaped from the bow and swung toward the Ship - smashing against the hull as fire rained from the deck above.

"CEASE THIS FIGHTING!" A message blared out from the void of space,

"This is Captain Rydia of the YWS Fleet. The captain's of these two vessels are politely asked to order their crew to disengage. Failure to do so will forfeit any protection the Fleet offers for them and for their kind."

"What do you think, Wings?" I asked Wings.

"The Captain's not called a cease fire yet,"

"Well yo ho ho then!" I blast up onto the deck, quickly drawing my gun and shooting three shots into the air.
"Avast ye bilge sucking scurvy dogs! We'll be feedin the fishes with yur blood tonight! Argh!" I yell, Wings laughs loudly from the side of the hull.

"You're such a dork Mercury!" I hear him, I laugh.

A crewmember jumps out at me, Wings interrupts his attack as he smashes into him as he jumps to deck. I aim and shoot him in the chest.

And the battle begins

Rasheck Mcallister

Rasheck awoke to the sound of a message seeming to come from everywhere.. but nowhere. He was angry that he had been woken in the middle of such a good dream. He listened carefully but heard nothing. He laid his head back down to resume his slumber, and hopefully his dream. Suddenly he heard a shot fired from abovedeck, and bolted out the door. He ran quickly and silently, preparing for the worst. He always got into a state of calm frenzy when he fought. He was sure that in this mode, he would be in his best mind to fight any foe... In particular? Pirates.

Chiana

I jumped to my feet as the sound of fighting rang across the deck, grabbing my lightweight sword from my nightstand. Finally, a chance to actually do something!

"CEASE THIS FIGHTING!" The message sounded from everywhere at once. I hesitated, wondering if it was a trick or not. "This is Captain Rydia of the YWS Fleet. The captain's of these two vessels are politely asked to order their crew to disengage. Failure to do so will forfeit any protection the Fleet offers for them and for their kind."

I looked around, trying to see if I could spot one of my superiors, which would be, well, anybody on our side beside the other apprentices. I couldn't exactly remember what the YWS fleet was and whether we were protected by it in the first place, but I really didn't want to be the one to mess anything up.

Siavash Nameh

I was about to burst with annoyance. "Oh, we're supposed to trust the pirates not to stab us in the backs then?" I shouted at the intercom. I assumed no one heard me, but I didn't particularly care. I spotted Chiana--young male human, as far as I knew--and stalked over to him, claws fully extended.

I couldn't help but growl a little.

"What exactly is happening?" I asked, pupils going to slits as I postured myself to insure I wouldn't be surprised by any potential body-snatching heathens, assuming they could even figure out how to board a Ninja ship.

Honestly, why hadn't I been let in on this? I wasn't exactly high ranking, but I'd assumed I'd been trusted. The last I knew, Captain Noni had left the pirates far, far back--and they hadn't been much of a true threat.

Maybe I should have put more thought into Captain Noni's snub. She wasn't truly Ninja, after all. Maybe she'd wished us to have a false sense of security?

I hoped I wasn't glaring too hard at the apprentice. I probably was. I didn't much like being woken by loud noises. My ears worked far better than everyone else's, and I slept much closer to the intercoms.

Humans, always sleeping on the floor like imbeciles...

Docco 'Wings' Mason

I watch as a filthy ninja dashes towards Mercury.

"Heh, at least now they can't say we started it." I muttered.

With a quick flap of my wings, I manage to ram my shoulder into the ninja and stop his momentum while Mercury takes the opportunity to shoot him in the chest. I draw my scimitar and look around to what else is going on, but...

Everything's quiet. There was no other fighting going on. Are they really scared of that Fleet trash?

I turn to Jim and he raises a curious eyebrow, "Y'think we scared 'em?"

"I think they're toying with us. They might be hoping we let our guard down. It's just like those ninjas." I looked towards the now dead ninja on the floor, "But maybe we should see what Captain Old Lady has to say about it."

White:

The duel went fairly well. Well, towards the end. Duels between us always ended the same, so I was surprised when Black tried playing dirty. I hobbled back to my room, my foot still in pain. I didn't bother to patch it up yet. Sure, I was leaving neon green streaks on the ship, but what were there other crew members for? And then there was that burn mark on the floor from my plasma cannon. Using that on the ship wasn't smart, but oh well. I finally hobbled back to my room in peace, nobody even bothered to follow me. I slammed the door behind me, and collapsed on the bed. I was already starting to feel sore, great. I've been spending too much time sleeping. I grabbed some gauze out of my medicine cabinet, and started to wrap up my foot. Again, a banging on the door. I opened it to see Black standing there, which was strange. The look she gave me told me at once. Pirates.

I ripped my mask off the desk and followed her. "Where are we going?" I said.

"We need to see Nym," she said. "See what to do about these pirates. They haven't boarded yet, but they're right next to us."

"Great," I mumbled. We started jogging towards Nymery's quarters, and reached there. I walked through the door, and a loud thud rocked the ship. They were boarding us. Nym stood in front of us.

"Black, White," she said.

"Nymery," I replied, bowing. Black did the same.

"White, you know I don't like it when you call me by my real name." she said.

"I know," I said. I smiled, but she couldn't see it. "We both know why we're here," I said. "So what do you want us to do?"

She just looked at me. I was impatient, no sense in hiding it. It had been too long since I'd killed a pirate. I glanced out the window of her office down to the deck below and witnessed the carnage. Pirates had started boarding our ship, and our ninjas were trying to hold them off.

"CEASE THIS FIGHTING!" A voice echoed throughout space itself. "This is Captain Rydia of the YWS Fleet. The captain's of these two vessels are politely asked to order their crew to disengage. Failure to do so will forfeit any protection the Fleet offers for them and for their kind." The voice continued. Everyone froze for a second, but then it started up again. One of our ninjas charged a group of pirates. I was too far away to distinguish who. One of the pirates knocked him to the ground, and another shot him. No other ninjas moved, they actually seemed to slink away into darkness.

"I'm going down there," I said.

"No," Nym replied. "We need you here so we can work this out."

"Screw that! Our guys are dying! There is no leader! They're all hiding!" I turned and left, slamming the door behind me. I started sprinting, and soon I was on the deck. I noticed Rasheck and ran over to him. "This is going to be your first fight as a ninja, don't let me down." He gulped and nodded, and I started sprinting towards the pirate ship, blades extended.

Spoiler

I was thinking having him kill an NPC, and injuring another to take hostage? If those ideas are fine, I'll post again tomorrow, putting them in.

White Extended his blades and ran towards the pirate ship. I unwrapped my chain-knife from my waist and followed as quickly as my feet allowed me to go. White jumped over and was immediately attacked. I lobbed my weighted training knife fiercely into the pirates shin, shattering it, and rendering him immobile. At the same time White took a swipe at his neck, it was a weak blow for White, but it still knocked the pirate unconscious onto the ground. I ran up to him and picked up my knife and chased away after white. I had no idea where he was going, or what he had planned, but I would be there when he needed me. This was my time to prove that I was a good ninja and make my master proud. If only I could keep up. I was always the swiftest ninja on board, but now I see why black and white never entered any of the races. None of us could ever keep the speed they run at for very long. Yet they haven't stopped yet. White stops and gives me a look that says, 'Well? Keep up if you wanna help!' All I can manage to say when I match his pace is, "I sure am glad that I'm not a pirate."

I don't know if it's okay. But I saw vacancies for Pirates...I consulted Griffinkeeper who told that it would be okay to join in.
If it's not, then tell me, so I can delete it...

Very Silent. Trained in the deadly art of assassination by Altair and Ezio De Auditore. Speaks when necessary. Ashamed of his wings. Some think that he is of a different race and wings are taboo. He can be easily hired for a dirty job. He don't think what is right and wrong because he don't know what is right or wrong. He is not a good fighter but is a deadly assassin. He likes to do jobs at night. He sleeps very little. He mostly kills from behind. He doesn't age but can still be harmed and killed. He is a master of disguise but when his wings grew, it proved him difficult to disguise.
He loves his tools of trade specially his blade which he always keeps with him. His trust can be easily gained because he don't have many who talk to him. Everyone thinks he is weird.

Perseus Wolfe | Cabin

I opened my eyes but closed it again as the sun rays coming from the window struck my eyes. Good that they gave me the corner most cabin with large windows. Hope that they were bullet proof.

I manage to open my eyes and get up from by bunk. I head my way towards the sink to brush my teeth. I hear some foot steps, just some kids, Kiera, the Cabin Girl and the Cabin Boy, I guess, what was his name? Again two people pass. They were Mari and Mercury. Seeing two pair of happy people in the morning, sure I was jealous.

I picked up my brush and started brushing my teeth. I stretched my arms, and my wings spread automatically, they knocked down my coat which was hung near by. My mind wandered...Even the the First Mate has wings...Is that why they took me on the ship? I don't know. Maybe he would know something about me which I don't know. I will surely talk to him...

I dress up and equip with my weapons....

Weapons

Hidden Blade

Spoiler

The iconic weapon of the Assassins, the Hidden Blade was used for both stealth assassinations and regular combat. It was their most versatile weapon, with multiple upgrades and forms of use.
It consisted of a retractable blade, usually in conjunction with a protective bracer. As such, the blade could be discreetly extended or retracted, making it a valuable tool for assassinations.

Throwing Knives

Spoiler

They have guns, so I need some serious ranged weapons.

I try keeping my wings out. With Some Modifying In My Uniform, I look like...

Chiana

Siavash ran up to me and glared at me hard. I shrunk back, hoping I hadn't done anything wrong. "What exactly is happening?"

White sprinted full out towards the pirate ship, blades extended, and Rashak followed him as closely as he could. I grinned wide. "Looks like we're fighting! Come on, the pirates won't kill themselves!" I ran full out towards the nearest pirate and swung my blade confidently.

The pirate smiled wide and beckoned for a friend, and suddenly I was being pressed back, blocking wildly. They were better then I'd thought.

A blade swung towards my head. I flinched, knowing there was no way I could block it, but a shimmering gray throwing knife dropped the pirate before he could hit me. I heard Siavash shout from not to far away, "Idiot boy!"

I grinned again and twisted my sword around the remaining pirate's, causing it to fly free. "I'm a girl!" Though, knowing Siavash, he probably honestly couldn't tell the difference.

Spoiler

There's a couple unnamed NPC's. Hope you don't mind.
