"Sail the ship upon the swabby seas!" Cheered the scruffy man at head of the ship.

"Sail the ship upon the seas with me!" Rejoiced the rest of the crew upon the large beauty of a ship.

The shipmates danced around like animals. Slaps on the back and shared rum was flying about the ship. The boat was a center of happiness on the lonesome seas.

With a loud thud, a man leaped from the crows nest of the ship to the ground. His acrobatic skills were stupefying. The attention of the entire boat seemed to turn to the man.

His ragged blue overcoat covered a tough leather padding underneath. His physique was muscular, and he stood around six feet. As he ran his hand through his long blond hair he spoke to the now quiet crew.

"Clear skies boys, I think it's time we finally hit Gideon!" As he spoke the crew started to rouse up.

A mahogany haired man stepped out from the group and spoke.

"Where are we going to land Bruce?"

"The northeast side, bring every weapon you can. This'll be our biggest haul yet." Replied Captain Bruce Sidney.

The crew moved wildly as Bruce went to the helm and redirected course. Crystal clear waves splashed against the ships side. As Bruce let a smug grin on his face, excited for the adventure to come.

"This'll be a good day boys!" Hollered Bruce, as the crew cheered.

Two hours later Bruce awoke with a bloodied face. He lay surrounded by blurry figures. He saw the numerous bodies of his crew mates scattered like a colony of ants across the ground.
