Jack nods.

If he's that incompetent, he won't keep his ship long. If it gets taken and he can't give an apt reason to why it's taken, then he'll hang for cowardice.

Jack's eyes go wide as he looks out to sea.

There's two frigates a mile away, two points abaft the Larboard beam, they're coming on us fast. I think we should inform the captain so we can beat to quarters.

Larry looks a bizarre mix of confused, upset and worried as he nods and begins heading to the captains quarters. He says to Jack in a rather upset voice.

How the bloody hell did the lookout not spot them before you did. Ill see him get a severe beating for this.

The 2nd lieutenant watches as Larry begins heading down and quickly shoots him in the back, and Larry falls down the stairs. He then shouts rather loudly.

Time to take the ship lads.

Many of the sailors quickly begin shooting and stabbing others, Leonard comes up fires a few shots before quickly shouting for Jack to rush into the cabin and prepare to try to hold the lower deck. The 2 frigates raise the jolly roger and quickly prepare to board. Many of the english sailors put on black bandanas.

Leonard rushes in behind him while a few other loyal men begin blocking the way up the stairs and start preparing to fight. The captain looks at Larry on the ground as he starts to get up before speaking to Jack.

So, Larry is a traitor. Which one of you shot him, good job, I commend you. Also be ready to fight to the last man.

One of the nearby sailors speaks up.

Uh, i saw the 2nd lietenant shoot him in the back before starting the mutiny. I don't think Larry was part of it.

Larry struggles to get up before speaking in a pained voice.

Okay, to be perfectly honest, i did intend to kill the captain on this trip, but i did not plan to mutiny. I hate the captain and leonard with a passion, but i wouldn't want to kill all you guys who didn't do nothing.

The pirates upstairs begin trying to break in as the captain picks Larry up and helps him stand.

Well i guess i was half right. I knew you wouldn't join this trip with me for no reason. But i suppose i am glad to hear you weren't planning a mutiny.

Larry nods as he takes out a pistol and prepare to fight.

I sincerely hope we get some backup. But if nothing else i plan to die fighting. We do have one good advantage, the entryway down here is narrow, so we can bottle them up and keep them out for quite some time.

The pirates break through and the loyal sailors begin fighting them back, Leonard the giant at the front slicing and dicing any who come down. They have the advantage of a superior position, but the enemy vastly outnumbers them, and the frigates approach to board. The captain thinks for a moment before shouting to Jack and pointing to a few other men.

Lad, you and a few other men need to go and start firing into the frigates from the cannons. I don't think they will sink the ship-they seem intent to steal it.

Jack looks at the 12 pounder in the cabin.

If we could get the gun pointed out of this door, we could clear out anyone coming through here. Also how many sailors are still loyal? I'll need a good amount of men to fire on them once we clear a path.

The captain shouts as he starts loading a cannon and begins trying to aim at one of the frigates.

Lad, that's a good idea, but it would be better if we can sink one of the frigates before they board us. We can do your idea later, but for now we NEED to try to keep at least one of them off us. And it looks like we have maybe 2 dozen men down here, I don't exactly have time to count at the moment.

He fires a shot and manages to hit one of their masts knocking it down and he shouts in joy.

HA! That should slow that ship down. Focus fire on the other now. Leonard, Larry keep up the good work of keeping them out.

Jack's quite confused.

How'd we knock down their mast with one twelve pounder? Weird.

Jack pulls out his dirk and prepares to stab anyone coming in the cabin.

Larry rolls his eyes as he talks to Jack.

As I said before, I don't think the captain is all that skilled, but the man has an ungodly amount of luck.

The captain fires another shot, striking the helm and knocking off the steering wheel, causing the frigate to turn and ramming into the other. He just takes out a cross and kisses it before speaking and giving a wink to Jack.

Mate, having a good bit of luck can really come in handy, and trust me when i say my luck is anything but ungodly.

The men on one frigate without the wheel board the other and manage to reach the ship. They begin boarding it as the captain shouts to the men.

Alright time to do what jack suggested. Leonard, your the biggest guy here, come help. ill take your place in the front line.

The captain rushes forward, helping to fight back the boarders coming down, Leonard goes over and starts moving the cannons in position, he shouts to Jack and a few others.

Help me with the loading and firing, we may win this battle after all.

I know its basically impossible for that to happen, but I figure its pretty funny, and decided it would help even the odds between them.

Wait, I meant put a gun in the doorway to shoot people coming into the great cabin. What's going on?

The sailors are fighting the invaders from the stairway- when they try to come down, the loyalists shoot or stab them. The great cabin isn't quite big enough for all the loyalists, so they instead are trying to hold the lower deck, and are managing for now. So right now Leonard is trying to get a cannon and point it up the stairs.
