((Why should have these two team up to defeat a common enemy or something!))

Also I'll be on/off since I'm traveling and going in/out of service.))

Layla kicked the door open and looked around. The crew of the Midnight Flash had stopped work and each person stared at her.
"Would someone please tell me why you've stopped working?!" Layla demanded, and suddenly everyone swarmed the boat in search of a task.
"I'd like to be in Bloody Bay by sunset, so get a move on!" She yelled. "I've heard there's a particularly unruly British fleet in that general vicinity, so the sooner we take em down, the better!"


"Hang on..." She murmured, and snapped her fingers. Her first mate sprinted across deck to her side.
"What is it, Cap'n Shadows?" He asked, fairly flustered.
"Chevelle. Prepare the sails." Layla stared firmly.

((Should the other enemy come in now?))

Layla swung her telescope around and looked inside. "oh god no..." She muttered.
"What?" Jason Sullivan, her first mate asked, who had just turned on his heel to alert the deck of the first ship.
"It appears that we're about to be ambushed," Layla groaned. "Look who it is." Layla handed the telescope to Jason, who gasped. "It can't be."
((What if the enemy was someone like Blackbeard or someone? Someone who's fairly common))

Black beard sailed towards the two ships, the only ships, run by maidens. "They can't be captains! Women cook and clean! This is a man's job! Arm ye ship!" He called to his men, who loaded canons and shot them, aimed at both ships.

"Bite your tongue!! You know we can't do that!" Layla called angrily.
"But Cap'n!" He started, then paused. "You don't want to lose your ship again."
Layla's heart sunk. When she was younger and had just started as a young buccaneer, Blackbeard had taken a cannon to her ship and it was long gone. She and Jason were the only survivors. She knew Jason was right, and left her with only one option.
"Crew," she called, clearing her throat, "We're heading towards Chevelle. Cannons to the starboard side facing Blackbeard. As of right now, he is our only enemy."
((What if Chevelle and Layla used to work together and something came between them? Or if they were secretly sisters? I don't know, my mind is nuts right now. But it'd be cool if they had a backstory. Idk.))

Chevelle saw Layla's ship get hit and knew her's was next. She ordered for her ship to be positioned in he he cannons' blind spot. They achieved their goal when The remainder of Layla's crew swam over.
((I pictured the ship getting destroyed. Was I wrong?))

Also, my ship never did get hit.))
"Jason," Layla called. "You take the ship, I'll be right back." She cut a rope and swung from her ship to Chevelle's.

Chevelle watched Layla carefully when she swung over. Her crew flashed their weapons when she landed, surrounding her. "Fall back," she ordered. They did as she said, making a path for her to Layla. "State your business," she said, crossing her arms over her chest.

Layla kept a hand on her cutlass if need be. "That ship over there? That's Blackbeard. If we're going to take him down, we're going to have to take him down from both sides." She eyed the slow-approaching ship. "I'd reccomend you take port side, I'll take starboard."


"You actually talked to her?" Jason asked in bewilderment.
Layla shook her head. "Just get to work," she snapped.
"Yes ma'am." Jason nodded and ran back to work. Layla grabbed a cannon and trained it on The Queen Anne's Revenge(blackbeard's ship). She would enjoy filling the man's beefy face up with lead bullets.



Layla sent a second barrage of cannonballs, knocking each cannon of Blackbeard's into the water.

She shot the cannons, whose bullets hit the underbelly of the ship. Bubbles escaped, along with the sounds of screaming, as the ship slowly sunk.

"I'll be right back," Layla called, "I want to be the one to kill Blackbeard, I want to watch the life drain from his eyes." She swung aboard the slowly-sinking Queen Anne's Revenge and made her way to where Blackbeard stood, knocking down every crew member to cross her path.


"Ello girlie," he laughed, his greasy lips twisted into a toothy grin. "And to what 'o I owe tha pleasure?"
Layla gritted her teeth and squeezed the cutlass' handle. She plunged the blade into the man's side, twisting and turning it, slicing and shredding the skin within.


Layla sent the blade inwards one last time, down the captain's throat, and then swung off, back towards her own ship. She looked at Jason, who looked either disgusted or horrified, possibly both. Layla flicked a bit of blood off of her skin. "That didn't feel as satisfying as I had imagined.." She mused.


Jason turned towards Layla. "Uh... Now what?" He asked, pretending to ignore the other crew. "Good question." Layla murmured, caught in her own thoughts.

Chevelle turned to Layla. "Well, you have your ship, I have mine," she said, lifting her hands and pulling them apart. ((To like show them splitting up again.. Idk if that made sense))

Layla nodded absentmindedly and pulled out her faded map. "There's something we need to find..." She murmured to Jason
