Barbados Pirates Chapter 1

     "Another one bites the dust" says the young Nate with smirk as the former rival gang leader passed out on the pavement. He wipes the blood off his favorite hands as his peers swarmed him to congratulate him on his latest victory for the gang.  From his outward appearance you would guess he was a young gang leader, wearing a basic red shirt, blues jeans and black shoes he looked more like average black teenager with curly hair. Albeit a well built one but still mostly ordinary, if it weren't for the thin rope bandages wrapped around his hands he wouldn't really stand out a lot. His personality is another story, the reason he is the boss of his gang is because he is can tenacious, ferocious and very competitive. He was alos proud, proud enough to face any gang leader armed or not with his bare hands and the gang worshipped him because it.  

      As victory was complete Nate then shouted "Who is the king of this island?" His gang chanted the name Nate in response while his opponent started coming to. Noticing this Nate walked towards him. The minute he saw Nate he back away in fear but Nate said "Relax, I'm not going to hit you again just as long as you know where your gang stands on this island ". Admitting defeat his opponent said "Alright, me and Red Cobras now work for you" as they bowed their heads in respect towards him. Nate just grinned and said "Welcome to the Black Sun gang". While Nate's guys started celebrating the expansion of their gang they started to hearing somebody clapping and laughing. "Not bad you little bastard, seems your actually learning from your training." said a tall black man with an Afro, blue button down shirt and slacks. While some of the other teens there wondered who this guy was Nate just looked annoyed and said "Dammit pops can't you just let me enjoy my victory?!" "Nope" said his dad with laugh. "Well what are doing here anyway?" said Nate getting more and more aggravated. "Boy I'm here for two reasons, the first is to collect my winning on your little match." said Calico while taking a large wad of cash.

"What do mean wings and where did you get that money?!"        

"Son, did you honestly believe me or any of the other retirees didn't know about you little gangs and street fights. This island is full of former experienced pirates and criminals from around the world; there is nothing that happens on this island we don't know about. We all knew about your constant little gang fights and tend to bet on them, by which I mean I bet on you and you always pull through for me." Nate just looked at his father. "So you and all of the other old guys bet on us when we fight. Well then I just have one question."

"WHERE THE HELL IS MY CUT?" Nate shouted as everyone else except his dad him face faulted.

Calico just said "You don't get a cut since I don't pay you to fight or anything. You want money, bet on yourself"

"WHY YOU..?!" shouted Nate as he tried to attack his father but the former pirate  effortlessly dodged his punch and kneed him in the stomach. As Nate passed out and Calico caught him and said "Which reminds me of reason number two I'm here, your mom wants you home for dinner."As Calico carried his unconscious son off the rest just stood there and sweat dropped as they thought about the fact that their families bet on them in their street fights.

                                                      S.C.
"Ugh, my stomach" Nate moaned as he finally came to, as he woke up he immediately noticed that he was on the couch his living room. Looking around he saw that his mom was in the kitchen who noticed that he had finally came to. "Good to see you're finally awake, for a while there I thought your father hit you a little do hard." Then Nate remembered what happened and snarled "I'm going to kill that old man, where is he?!". "Quit whining you little brat, I've already suffered for that little stunt" responded Calico as he walked in the room with a large foot print on his face.  "You're lucky you get away with the shit you do to him while training, and that's only because he agrees to It." said Nate's mother, Felicia, as she ordered their dinner. While most children would hate when their folks fight Nate just found it hilarious, mostly because his mom always won and his dad usually had it coming. While his mom got the food from the delivery man Nate got cleaned up, took off his bandages and joined his family for their usual dinner of takeout. Felicia was an expert with knives and could dice up even the best swordsmen, but a cook she was not.

Later that night Calico took Nate into the gym in their basement for their usual training sessions, while they did pretty mush live on a tropical island Paradise gets boring after a while. Plus Calico liked to stay in shape as he rarely had anything better to do in his opinion. Of course Nate training consisted of doing various fighting stances and strikes for hours, inhuman weight and cardio exercise and Calico just sparring with Nate. What Calico called training Nate and most normal people would call torture and child abuse, and the sparring with his father was the most painful of all. But Nate put up with it because despite the pain it did show results. While sparring was going normally, normal being Nate tries to hit his father while dodges his attacks effortlessly and knocks Nate into the ropes of the boxing.

     However Nate showing the fruit of his labor was actually showing a lot of improvement by lasting longer than ever and even dodging a one of his father's blows. However this victory short lived as his father grabbed a staff and basically sucker punched his son with it. Dazed and angry, Nate got up and said "A staff, really? As if you couldn't already kick my ass bare handed you pull out a freaking stick on me?!" Calico calmly responded "You already shown me you know the basics of defending against martial arts, now I'm training you to deal with armed foes."    "You could have just told me that was going deal with weapons now."  "I could have but real opponents will use dirty tricks in a fight, you need to be prepared for this and besides this way more fun."

"Fun for you maybe, besides I already know how to defend against weapons. I've faced guys with knives and bats before and I rule every gang on the island."

"You've faced street thugs with weapons before; I'm teaching how to defend against armed pros. So you managed to take control of a bunch of punks on one measly island out of many. That's nothing special, the world is a big place and if you're actually serious about becoming famous you're going to have to fight better than that. You talk big but all I see is a big fish in a small pond. And here's a word of advice if you really want to be well known you you're going to want to dressing in way that stands out."

"So I like to dress comfortably, so sue me. Besides I've seen pictures of you in your pirate days and your definition of standing out. You wore a long purple coat, a gold chain and a hat with feather in it. You looked more like a pimp than a pirate!"
"Hey I looked good and people remembered who I was! Besides how do think I landed your mother you smug little bastard."
"Last time I checked you landed mom because you were both wasted. And why do you keep calling your own son a bastard?"
"Because technically you are a bastard, your mother and I never really got married"
"WHAT!?"

"Well we never felt it was necessary since I would never leave her I doubt any church would wed us after the big raid we pulled in the Holy Land."

"You know what, never mind! The point is that despite what say and think I will make a name for myself, I will master this fighting style and I will surpass you!"  

"Well then since you're so sure so you're self we might as well step up your weapons defense training. " Calico said with an evil smile. "Let's see how well you can dodge throwing knives!" he said while pulling an assortment of knives out nowhere and started throwing them at Nate like a madman.

"DAMN YOU OLD MAN!" screamed Nate as he ran for his life.

                                                      S.C.
The next day Nate gathered his most toughest and trustworthy gang members, which were about five guys. "What's this all about boss?" asked his blonde friend Jackson curious about why they were meeting earlier than usual. "This is about something my father told me last night" Nate responded but his friends just groaned at this. "So your jackass dad beat you up and insulted you, he does it all the time and he never really hurts you. What's the big deal?" complained his red haired friend Charlie. Nate just looked him eye and said "First, no insults my dad but me and my mom. Second, it's that he said I was just a big fish in a small pond and he's right.  I may have beaten a lot of people but I have never fought anyone off this island let alone in other countries. That's why we're going to spread our gangs influence by going to the other islands and seize control of them. His men were honestly surprised by this announcement but couldn't help but be a little exited of expanding their influence to the other islands. "Sounds interesting boss, but where and how do we start this?" asked Michael. "Well" started Nate as he pulled out a map "We live here on Jana and there seven islands in total but only four with people, so we'll start by heading over to Bora Island, biggest one in the Wikia Archipelago. Well catch the next ferry their and scout the island out. See what we can find out about the gangs their and their leaders". Everyone agreed with this and was on their way to Bora.

When they got there they noticed something was very odd. Normally the place was full of customers and markets selling stuff. But for some reason all of the markets were closed and the customers were focused on something in the town square. On their way to the square the noticed there people in weird white coats constantly walking around. When they arrived they noticed that the tourists were watching the construction of some building and decided to ask a con man named Slick what was happening. "You're Barbados' kid right? Then you better get out of here and warn everyone on Jana"

"Warn them about what? These islands are full of some of the most infamous pirates and crooks that could never be caught. What could they be building that could possibly be a threat to them." said Nate.

"Kid, they're building a Naval Base."
