Chapter 1 Part 3: Now it gets fun.
"Now, Rebecca!" Elaine shouted to the bosun. Rebecca nodded and turned to the crew, "FIRE ALL!" The crew set all cannons fuses on fire and within split seconds, the cannons pratically exploded. Winnie couldn't help but have a funny thought as she watched the cannon balls punctured the side of their victims ship: "Hey, look! Spainish swiss cheese!" The shock of the blows almost knocked the entire enemy ship over. The Spainish captain and the young crewmate were lyin next to eachother: The captain had a look of complete shock on his face. "Sir!" the young crewmate shouted to get his captain's attention. "Should we fight back?" The captain thought it over for a second and said, "Tell the men to load the cannons." The crewmate nodded and raced off towards the galley. Meanwhile, back on the White Falcon, Elaine shouted to the crew, "Cease Fire!" Rebecca glanced up at her captain in absolute confusion. "Everyone grab your grappling hooks. Prepare to board!" Elaine shouted. "Yes!" Rebecca muttered to herself. "Grace, you can come too." Elaine said turning to the girl that manned the ship's wheel. She looked about 15 years of age, bright, shiny green eyes sparkled in the sun, her pitch black hair tied into a low ponytail. "As you wish, Captain." Grace saluted, snatching up a grappling hook that rested at her feet. "Hold on! Hold fire!" the Spainish captain shouted to his crew. Everyone on that ship seemed to stop moving, waiting in anxiety for what was going to happen. "What are they doing?" the captain muttered to himself. The crew of the White Falcon now have lined themselves up along the edge of the ship, tieing the rope of their grappling hooks securely to the ship. "On the count of three." Elaine told the crew as she began to twirl her grappling hook behind her head. "One...Two...Three!" At that second, the entire crew tossed their hooks towards the ship, that managed to hook to the railing on the side of the ship. In one swift motion, the slid down the rope and landed onto the deck of their enemy ship. As soon as they landed feet first on the deck, Elaine pulled out her flintlock and pointed it at the captain. An uncomforatble silence followed, and the captain couldn't help but smirk. "You're kidding me, right?" He asked condescendingly. Elaine glanced at her crew and returned with, "Nope." Before the captain could respond, Elaine got down to buisness, "Now, we can do this the easy way or the hard way. Easy way: you lay down your weapons and you let us tie you to the mast." At this, she cocked her gun and continued, "Then again, there's always that other way." The Spainish captain glanced at his crew, mentally discussing it with them. After a second, he unsheathed his sword. "So, we're taking the hard way, then." The Spainish captain merely nodded. "Oh,...your loss, mate." Elaine added, a twisted smile creeping across her face. She whipped her flintlock in another direction and shot one of the captain's crewmates. Immediately, both sides drew their swords and lunged at each other. The female pirates showed absolutely no mercy...Ecspecially Rebecca, who in one swift motion, sliced a Spainard's head off. "Miguel!" one of his crewmates shouted before Rebecca shoved her cutlass into him and two other men. With a smirk, she said to her crewmates, "Who wants Spainish shish kebob?" Grace couldn't help but laugh at that, even as she tossed a Spainish man over the railing of the ship. Winnie showed an extreme amount of force for a girl like herself, shoving her cutlass into her enemy's foot. As he keeled over in pain, she bashed him over the head with the handle of her flintlock. "Wow, my first time sword-fightin' and I'm good at it." Winnie giggled to herself. Rose was trying her best not to deal to much pain to her enemies, due to her sweet and gentle personality. She locked swords with another Spainish crewmate and waited for her opprotunity. The moment she saw it, her right fist connected with his face. The female crew fought and won, until the only one standing was the Spainish captain. Elaine waved her cutlass menacingly, an somewhat evil sneer on her face. "So, it comes down to us. Capitano e capitano?" She said condescendingly. "Senorita, you should know that I am the most skilled privateer in the Spainish Main." her opponent snapped, even if Elaine wasn't listening to him. "You may be the most skilled privateer, but I am a skilled pirate. You have absolutely no chance." Elaine sneered. "In fact, you lazy, soft-headed privateers are a disgrace to sailors everywhere." This sentence struck the captain's final nerve. He lunged towards his opponent, who blocked his rapier with ease. As he marveled at his opponent's speed, she sighed, "Temper, temper." She snatched up a plank of wood and added, "You'll never get anywhere with it." And with that, she ended their duel by bludgoning him over the head with the plank of wood. As he fell unconcious, Elaine sheathed her sword, with a huff of disappointment. Rebecca snatched up Miguel's severed head, turned to her friends and, with an apparant sick sense of humor, shouted, "Check it out! I'm Dave Beckham!" After saying that, she kicked her victim's severed head off the side of the ship. "Rebecca." Elaine scolded. "Relax." "I'm sorry, Captain." Rebecca apoligized, flicking her brunette french braid out of her face. "I guess I got a little excited." "Any survivors?" Elaine asked. "The only survivors are unconcious." Rose confirmed. "Great." Elaine said with a smirk. Gesturing to the mast, she ordered, "Tie 'em up!" "Sweet!" Rebecca muttered to herself as she and the rest of the crew propped up the unconcious survivors against the mast while Winnie walked around them several times, twirling rope around them. She secured it with a double-knot and nodded to her crewmates. "Alright, they should be keeping their loot somewhere." Elaine told the crew. Pointing to the named people, she said, "Rose, Winnie and Rebecca, come with me. We're gonna find their treasure." She stopped for a second and then gestured to Grace. "Grace, I have a special job for you." She said. Grace walked up next to her and Elaine said subtlely, "I need you to drop their lifeboats and snatch the ship's wheel." With a smile, Grace said, "Aye, Captain." Gesturing to the rest of the crew, she shouted, "And the rest of you, stay here and watch them! If one of them wakes up, bash him over the head with a brick!" She walked off after her friends. It wasn't hard to find the treasurey: as soon as they walked into the galley, there was a door nearby with a plaque next to it that read "Tresuary". Rose began to feel through her hair for a bobby pin that she hid just in case. But Elaine stopped her. Before Rose could ask why, Elaine slashed the lock on the door with so much force that it fell to the wooden floor in two pieces. Unfortunately, when they opened the door, they found...nothing. "What!?" Elaine snapped in shock. "There's nothin' here. Nothin'. The only gold in this room is the wallpaper." Winnie felt a rumble in her stomach. She glanced at the ship's pantry in curiousity. While her friends gabbed in shock and confusion, she snuck off to find something in their to satisfy her hunger. What she didn't expect was when she tripped on a huge chest in the middle of the room. "Um, girls? I think I found it." Winnie said to her friends, clutching her sore head. Elaine, Rose and Rebecca were joyful to find that they didn't attack the Spainiards for nothing. Elaine repeated her lock-chopping manuever and excitedly threw the lid up. There, gold sparkled and jewels shone right before their eyes. They became so excited that they had succeeded in stealing their first treasure chest. Rebecca snatched a handful of golden dubloons and held them close to her, an excited squeal escaped her mouth. Rose examined one of the older looking dubloons closely. Elaine held a sparkling diamond necklace in front of her, mentally asking Winnie for her opinion. Winnie nodded and held up a pair of ruby earrings, to which Elaine agreed as well. Elaine shut the treasure chest lid and said, "Well, girls, let's get this on the ship." The girls nodded and each grabbed a handle of the chest. After struggling with the weight of the chest up the stairs from the galley to the deck, a few other crewmates lent a hand. A few others shoved a plank of wood onto the railing of the ship they were on to reach theirs. As soon as they stepped onto the plank, the Spainish captain woke up. "See ya! Wouldn't wanna be ya!" Rebecca sneered at him as they got to the deck. Winnie and Rose used all their force to push the plank of wood off the railing and into the water, much to the captain's shock. "Don't take it personaly!" Elaine shouted at him as they began to sail away. "I just had a grudge against Spainiards ever since they killed my father! See ya!" The captain watched as their ship sailed away when the young crewmate woke up. They spent that moment in complete silence, until the captain sighed to himself, "The queen's gonna kill us." The young crewmate agreeded, "Yep, We're screwed."

A ball of pride swelled in Elaine's chest as they sailed on. Winnie proudly flaunted her new earrings, Rose continued to examine the authenticity of their newly found riches and Rebecca made bets with her crewmates. "Girls," Elaine said to get her crew's attention, "You all did wonderful." A small pause followed. "How about we make port and celebrate?" She immediately got an answer: "Aye!" Elaine walked to the bow and pointed ahead of the ship, asking Rose, "What town is that?" They both could see an island not to far off and a town nestled peacefully on it's shore. "I think that's Madrid." Rose answered. With a confident smile, Elaine turned to Grace and ordered, "Grace, steer us in that direction!" "Aye, Captain!" was Grace's answer. None knew that a simple decision would bring a male presence on board the ship.
