The transport arrived in Scotland as it flew towards the Resistance base the transport flew into the hangar and landed the back door of the transport opened and I stepped off the back door of the transport then closed I then looked and could see Nitro in the command room he hadn't noticed me so I took this opportunity to quickly go down to my room to drop off The Antimatter Cannon, I ran through the Resistance base and eventually arrived at my room I opened the door to my room and entered my room I then closed the door before I grabbed The Antimatter Cannon and placed it on my dresser I then looked at The Antimatter Cannon and smiled "Now that I have The Antimatter Cannon, the entire universe will be mine." I said before I opened the door and left my room I then closed the door and made my way back to the hangar, I arrived back at the hangar and I approached the command room and once I entered the command room Nitro turned around and looked at me "Ah you're back, I've got another mission for you." Nitro said "Okay." I said "A recon team has reported a Federation storage facility in Peru in Olavosy I want you to go there and liberate everything in that storage facility." Nitro said "Alright." I said "The transport will land on the outskirts of the city, get into that Federation storage facility and grab as much as you can and get it back to the transport." Nitro said "You got it." I said as I made my way towards the transport, I walked up to the transport and the back door of the transport opened I stepped aboard and then the back door of the transport closed "Take me to Peru in Olavosy." I said "Alright Josh." the pilot said as the transport took off and flew out of the hangar before making it's way towards Olavosy.

The transport arrived in Olavosy as it landed on the outskirts of Peru the back door of the transport opened and I stepped off the back door of the transport then closed and I activated my communicator "Nitro it's Josh, I've arrived in Olavosy." I said "Okay Josh the Federation storage facility is somewhere in the city find it and get as much stuff as you can back to the transport." Nitro said "I'm on it." I said as I deactivated my communicator, just then I saw Linda, Brian, Skitter, De'vorah, Valeria, Vex, Manticore, Belial, Stahl and Calina as well as several Ghosts standing next to me just then they rushed towards me and attacked me, I ran from them as I made my way towards the city.

I entered the city and began moving through the city I used alleys to avoid the Federation patrols I ran though an alley when suddenly a Demon appeared the Demon had red eyes and horns on it's head and it was carrying what looked like a gun the Demon pointed it's gun at me before it began firing at me I jumped out of the way of the Demon's shots before I pulled out my assault rifle and fired at the Demon and after a few shots the Demon collapsed to the ground before it disappeared I then ran to the end of the alley before I looked and could see a large building that was being guarded by soldiers "That must be the Federation storage facility." I said, I raised my assault rifle and fired at the soldiers I killed quite a few soldiers before the rest realized what was happening and started shooting back I fired at every soldier I saw until all of the soldiers on the outside of the building were dead I then ran up to the door which had a keycard reader next to it I slid my keycard through the reader and the door opened I entered the building and every soldier in the building ran towards me with their guns raised I wasted no time shooting every soldier on the inside of the building I killed all of the soldiers inside the building with little trouble and once they were all dead I reloaded my assault rifle "Alright time to clean this place out." I said as I began running through the building looking for stuff to steal, I ran through the different rooms in the building the building was full of boxes, crates and large containers full of loot I ran through the building opening every box, crate and large container I came across just then I heard a noise coming from behind me I turned around and could see a Hybrid the Hybrid looked Human it had multiple long legs with blades on the ends of them the legs were where it's arms should have been Hybrid hissed before it ran towards me I quickly moved out of the way as the Hybrid rushed towards me and used it's legs to attack me I extended my blade and began cutting the Hybrid's legs off I sliced the Hybrid's legs off one by one each time I cut off a leg the Hybrid roared in pain eventually I cut off enough legs that the Hybrid could no longer stand it collapsed to the ground I then plunged my blade into the Hybrid's head and with that the Hybrid was now dead I retracted my blade before I continued looting the place, I grabbed as much stuff from the boxes, crates and large containers as I could before I carried it to the door I used to enter the building I dropped all of the loot I was carrying next to the door before I went back for more loot I ran through the building about five or six times before I had snagged everything in the building I dropped the remaining loot next to the door before I activated my communicator to contact the pilot "Pilot this is Josh, I need you to land next to the Federation storage facility so I can load all of the loot onto the transport." I said "Alright Josh I'm coming to ya." the pilot said, I deactivated my communicator as I looked through the door and before long the transport landed next to the Federation storage facility I picked up as much loot as I could carry before I ran out of the building and ran towards the transport the back door of the transport opened and I stepped aboard the transport before I dropped the loot in the transport I then ran back to the building to grab more but just then I looked and could see several Federation patrols running towards the Federation storage facility I switched to my machine gun and fired at the approaching soldiers, I gunned down several soldiers before I ran back inside the building and grabbed more loot I then ran out of the building and dropped the loot of on the transport I ran back and fourth between the Federation storage facility and the transport several times grabbing as much loot as I could carry and then dropping it off on the transport all while shooting at the Federation soldiers that were attacking me I ran back into the building and grabbed more loot I exited the building and was about to run towards the transport to drop off the loot when suddenly one of those thick armoured soldiers with a rocket launcher emerged from behind a building the thick armoured soldier aimed his rocket launcher at me before he fired I jumped to avoid the incoming rocket the rocket flew past me and soared through the open door and into the Federation storage facility the rocket then exploded and it must have hit something important because the entire building was destroyed by a massive explosion I looked at the thick armoured soldier before I spoke "Dumbshit!" I said before I raised my gun and shot the thick armoured Federation soldier, I then ran towards the transport and dropped the loot in the transport I stood in the transport shooting at any soldiers that remained I killed the few remaining soldier before I reloaded my machine gun and switched to my assault rifle "Alright let's get this stuff back to the Resistance base." I said "You got it Josh." the pilot said as the back door of the transport closed and the transport took off and flew out of the city.

I sat down as the transport flew across the sky I took a deep breath as I looked at all of the loot I stole and smiled "Another successful mission." I thought, I relaxed my body as the transport flew across the sky when suddenly the transport shook violently it felt like something hit the transport "What was that?" I asked "Shit we're being attacked!" the pilot yelled, I quickly looked out through the transport window and could see several small ships flying around the transport the small ships looked like they were constructed from pieces of scrap metal they each had a single engine on the back of them and they had machine guns and rocket launchers on them I then noticed a large ship in the distance the large ship looked like it was constructed from pieces of scrap metal the large ship had a massive cylindrical shaped balloon that allowed it to fly there was a large engine on either side of the balloon the balloon was attached to the large ship by large chains I could see several artillery cannons on the large ship I could also see what looked like several harpoon guns on the large ship the artillery cannons that were on the large ship fired at the transport I looked at the large ship and immediately knew what was happening "Pirates." I said, Pirates are everywhere they attack villages and towns pillaging and plundering anywhere they go they steal anything they can get their hands on and they kill anyone that gets in their way I watched as one of the artillery cannons on the large Pirate ship fired and hit the transport the transport shook the instant it was struck just then I saw several harpoons fire from the large Pirate ship the harpoons struck the back door of the transport suddenly the back door of the transport was ripped open by the harpoons suddenly a few of the small Pirate ships approached the back of the transport one of the small Pirate ships positioned itself just behind the transport and just then several Pirates jumped off of the small Pirate ship and landed in the transport I looked at the Pirates and could see that they were carrying weapons that looked like they were constructed from pieces of scrap metal the Pirate were wearing armour that also looked like it was constructed from pieces of scrap metal the Pirates armour was a rusty brown colour I quickly raised my assault rifle and fired at the Pirates I managed to kill a few of the Pirates but several more Pirates jumped off of the small Pirate ship and landed in the transport the Pirates began attacking me but I continued firing at them while I was shooting the Pirates I noticed that a few of the Pirates were grabbing the loot I had stolen from the Federation storage facility and were taking it with them as the boarded the small Pirate ship "Hey that's mine!" I yelled as I shot the Pirates, I managed to kill most of the Pirates that were attacking me but the Pirates that grabbed the loot made it back onto the small Pirate ship just then I heard the pilot shout "We need to get outta here!" the pilot yelled, suddenly the pilot was struck by a bullet that was fired by one of the Pirates the pilot died and the transport was now going down "Shit!" I said as I killed the remaining Pirates on the transport I then noticed that the small Pirate ship was beginning to fly away I sprinted towards the opening at the back of the transport before I jumped out and used my Grapple Hook to attach myself to the small Pirate ship I looked back and watched the transport go down I then quickly activated my Cloaking Device so that the other small Pirate ships wouldn't see me as the small Pirate ship I was attached too flew towards the large Pirate ship.

I waited as the small Pirate ship flew towards the large Pirate ship I looked and could see that the small Pirate ship was getting close to the large Pirate ship and before long the small Pirate ship arrived at the large Pirate ship I watched as a large door that was on the side of the large Pirate ship opened and all of the small Pirate ships including the one I was attached to flew into the large Pirate ship the large door closed and all of the small Pirate ships landed I watched as the Pirates disembarked the small Pirate ships they carried the loot that they had stolen from the transport and walked through a door I waited for all of the Pirates to leave the area before I made my move once all of the Pirates had left the area I detached my Grapple Hook and retracted it I then deactivated my Cloaking Device before I pulled out my machine gun I then ran up to the door that all of the Pirates walked through I ran through the door and could see several Pirates in the area I raised my machine gun and began rampaging through the large Pirate ship, I fired my machine gun killing any Pirates I saw as I ran through the large Pirate ship and as I did so I could see several artillery cannons the artillery cannons were constructed from pieces of scrap metal the barrels of the artillery cannons were poking through holes that were in the side of the large Pirate ship it didn't take long for the other Pirates on the large Pirate ship to notice what was happening and begin shooting at me I sprinted through the large Pirate ship gunning down every Pirate I came across the Pirates desperately tried to kill me but their weapons and armour were made out of pieces of scrap metal killing them was too easy I eventually reached a staircase I ran up the staircase and could see that I was now on the main deck of the large Pirate ship I could see more artillery cannons lining the edges of the large Pirate ship I could also see harpoon guns on either side of the large Pirate ship I then looked up and could see the massive balloon that allowed the large Pirate ship to fly I then noticed a shit ton of Pirates approaching me I put my machine gun away and extended my blade as I rushed towards the Pirates and began slaughtering them, I carved my way through the Pirates I effortlessly slice through them as the Pirates tried and failed to kill me I must have killed at least half of the Pirates on the large Pirate ship when suddenly I was struck by something I felt a sharp pain in my arm I looked and could see a harpoon in my arm the harpoon went through my suit and my arm I yelled in pain when suddenly I was struck again this time in my other arm I looked and could see another harpoon had gone through the other arm of my suit just then I was struck a third time this time in my leg I looked and you guessed it another harpoon went through one of the legs of my suit I stood there unable to move the harpoons were holding me in place the pain coursed through my body as the Pirates surrounded me just then I could hear what sounded like large footsteps approaching me from behind I turned to look doing everything I could to try and fight through the pain and once I turned around I could see another Pirate this Pirate was tall and wore an armoured suit that was constructed from pieces of scrap metal but it was much heavier than the armour worn by the other Pirates the Pirate had a machine gun attached to the right arm of their armour the machine gun had three barrels that looked like they could spin the Pirate had a harpoon gun attached to the left arm of their armour the harpoon gun looked like it could shoot three harpoons I could see that the harpoon gun that was attached to the Pirate had already been fired and there were three cables coming from the barrels of the harpoon gun the three cables attached to the harpoons that were currently stuck in me I noticed a canteen on the waist of the Pirate's armour, the Pirate approached me as the other Pirates kept their guns pointed at me the Pirate walked up to me before stopping just in front of me the Pirate looked at me before speaking "You come aboard mah Pirate ship uninvited and kill mah crew." the Pirate said in an Australian accent, I could tell from the Pirate's voice that they were male "Nobody and I mean nobody comes aboard mah Pirate ship without mah permission!" the Pirate said, the Pirate looked at me as if he was inspecting me just then the Pirate spoke again "You were able to kill most o' me crew by yourself, I guess you are as strong as they say Josh." the Pirate said "Yeah I know who you are everyone knows who you are you're Joshua Robert Murday the man that the Federation fears." the Pirate said "I could just throw ya overboard but if you surrender I might let ya live." the Pirate said, I stood there unable to move I was trapped by the harpoons that the Pirate shot at me I tried to think of a way out of this but I knew that there was no way out of this I let out a sigh before I spoke "I surrender." I said reluctantly, the Pirate then retracted his harpoons I yelled in pain as the harpoons were pulled out of my arms and leg I then opened my suit and collapsed to the floor as my suit closed automatically I looked up at the Pirate as he stared at me "I am Grimskull, Captain of this Pirate ship and you belong to me now." the Pirate said "Lock him in the brig." Grimskull said as two of the other Pirates grabbed me, the two Pirates picked me up off of the floor and dragged me across the large Pirate ship I looked back and could see the rest of the Pirates grab my suit and carry it somewhere the two Pirates that were dragging me brought me below the main deck they dragged me to a room with a large cell in it the two Pirates opened the cell before one of the Pirates pulled out a medical injector and injected me with it I could feel the familiar cold liquid enter my body and within moments the wounds on my arms and leg were healed the two Pirates then threw me into the cell before the closed the door I watched as the two Pirates left the room before I looked around I let out a sigh "Fuck." I said as I had gotten captured again.

I sat in the cell for hours glancing around at my surroundings looking for anything that might help me get out of here but there was nothing I was trapped I let out a sigh before I heard footsteps approaching I looked up and watched as the door opened and Grimskull as well as several Pirates walked through Grimskull and two of the Pirates approached the cell "Bring him." Grimskull said as the two Pirates opened the cell and grabbed me the two Pirates dragged me out of the cell before Grimskull and the other Pirates walked out of the room with the two Pirates carrying me following close behind them, the Pirates dragged me across the large Pirate ship until we arrived at another door Grimskull opened the door and we entered I looked around and could see that we were now in a cargo hold that was full of loot there were piles of cash and bars of gold as well as jewelry and gems everywhere there were also supplies in the cargo hold including several metal barrels most of the metal barrels had the word "Rum." written on them but I noticed one metal barrel that had the word "Poison." written on it I then looked and could see my suit in the center of the cargo hold the holes from where those three harpoons entered my suit were gone which means that my suit had already repaired itself Grimskull approached my suit before he turned around and looked at me "Alright we've been tryin to get into that suit o' yours but we cant, tell us how to open up your suit." Grimskull said "You can't." I said "Wrong answer." Grimskull said as he reached his hand out to grab me but just then I spoke again "I mean you can't open my suit only I can." I said, Grimskull pulled his hand away from me as he and the other Pirates stared at me "My suit has a biometric scanner built into it my suit will only respond to my DNA signature." I said, Grimskull and the other Pirates looked at each other as if they didn't understand anything I had just said I rolled my eyes before I spoke again "It means that I am the one and only person who can use my suit." I said, Grimskull looked at me before he spoke "Alright then Josh here's what's gonna happen you'll be joinin mah crew." Grimskull said "What?" I said "You're Joshua Robert Murday you're the man that the Federation fears if I have you workin for me I won't have to worry about the Federation botherin me, and if you're the only person who can use that suit then you're gonna get in that suit o' yours and you're gonna work for me from now on." Grimskull said "And if I refuse?" I asked upon which all of the Pirates immediately pointed their guns at me "Yep I don't know what I was expecting." I thought "Your gonna use your suit to help me and mah crew raid, pillage and plunder and if I catch you doing any funny business I'll rip ya guts right out ya throat!" Grimskull said, the two Pirates let go of me I then walked up to my suit and placed my hand on my suit's chest piece my suit opened and I climbed inside my suit then closed automatically before Grimskull spoke again "Remember no tricks." Grimskull said "Aye Captain." I replied as Grimskull and the other Pirates left the cargo hold and I followed them I was no longer a Resistance fighter I was now a Pirate.

I walked around Grimskull's Pirate ship as I performed my duties now that I was a Pirate I had to work just like the rest of the crew I had to maintain Grimskull's Pirate ship which involved me doing things like scrub the deck, make sure the engines are working and check the air pressure in the balloon I've been here for a few days now the work isn't too hard and the food is... edible I have to piss and shit in a disgusting looking bathroom Grimskull and the rest of the Pirates keep a close eye on me to make sure I don't try anything fortunately Grimskull was willing to spare my life but in exchange he made me a Pirate Grimskull wants me to work for him so he won't have to worry about the Federation attacking him so this is my situation during my time as a Pirate I noticed that there is one particular Pirate who always stays close to Grimskull this one Pirate relays Grimskull's orders to the rest of the crew it's clear that this one Pirate is Grimskull's first mate, being a Pirate was for the most part uneventful Grimskull flew his Pirate ship while me and the rest of the Pirates performed various tasks around the Grimskull's Pirate ship but one day I got to see some action I was working on the main deck when Grimskull's first mate walked up to me and the rest of the Pirates and spoke to us "Alright were approaching our target!" Grimskull's first mate said "Target?" I thought, just then I noticed that Grimskull's Pirate ship was beginning to descend I looked over the side of Grimskull's Pirate ship and could see that we were flying above a town Grimskull's Pirate ship was approaching the town I didn't know where in the world we were but it didn't matter "Prepare for attack ya dirty fucks!" Grimskull's first mate said as all of the Pirates ran around Grimskull's Pirate ship, most of the Pirates operated the artillery cannons while the rest went below deck and prepared to disembark Grimskull's Pirate ship "It's a raid." I thought as I stopped what I was doing and prepared myself for the raid, I pulled out my assault rifle and followed the other Pirates as they went below deck and climbed onboard the small Pirate ships and prepared to raid the town I climbed onto one of the small Pirate ships before I looked and could see the other Pirates on the artillery cannons the other Pirates were prepared to fire and just then I heard Grimskull's first mate shout "Fire!" Grimskull's first mate yelled and right as he did so the Pirates on the artillery cannons started firing at the town the Pirates worked fast to fire the artillery cannons and once an artillery cannon fired the Pirates moved quickly to reload the artillery cannon before firing again after awhile Grimskull's first mate went below deck and looked towards me and the other Pirates that were on the small Pirate ships "Get going!" Grimskull's first mate yelled, just then a large door that was on the side of Grimskull's Pirate ship opened and the Pirates piloting the small Pirate ships flew out of Grimskull's Pirate ship one by one I held on tight as the small Pirate ship I was on flew out of Grimskull's Pirate ship and soared towards the town I looked and could see that the town was being bombarded by the artillery cannons from Grimskull's Pirate ship most of the buildings in the town were completely destroyed it didn't take long for the Federation forces in the town to start shooting back after awhile the small Pirate ships flew down to the ground and landed and once the small Pirate ships landed all of the Pirates jumped off of them and began running through the town I jumped off of the small Pirate ship that I was on and ran into the town I looked around and could see that the town was in chaos people ran around screaming as the Pirates broke into buildings stealing anything that they could get their hands on and killing anyone that got in their way the Federation soldiers in the town tried to kill as many Pirates as they could but there were very few Federation soldiers in the town the Pirates outnumbered them "Awesome." I said before I raised my assault rifle and began gunning down everyone that I saw, I killed every man, every woman and every child that I saw I then approached a nearby building and kicked the door open before I entered I saw a few people in the building and I killed them I then began searching the building for anything of value to steal I stole money, jewelry and anything expensive I then walked out of the building carrying as much loot as I could hold I then looked and could see one of the Pirates approaching me "Get that loot to the small Pirate ship so we can haul it up to Grimskull's Pirate ship." the Pirate said, I ran towards one of the small Pirate ships doing my best not to drop any of the loot and once I reached the small Pirate ship I dropped my loot on the small Pirate ship before I turned around and ran back to the town, I ran back to the town killing everyone I saw and stealing anything I could get my hands on I killed a few Federation soldiers as I pillaged the town I would then bring any loot I stole to one of the small Pirate ship before going back to the town for more all the while the rest of the Pirates plundered the town while Grimskull's Pirate ship barraged the town with artillery fire I ran towards another building when suddenly an Angel appeared the Angel had gold eyes and a halo on it's head the Angel screamed before it lunged at me I raised my assault rifle and fired at the Angel but the Angel avoided my attack it then clung to the wall of a nearby building as it continued moving towards me I aimed at the Angel and fired again but the Angel jumped to avoid my attack again just then the Angel jumped on me I extended my blade and stabbed the Angel several times as it attacked me eventually the Angel stopped moving before it collapsed to the ground and disappeared I retracted my blade before I continued running through the town, I ran through the town when suddenly a group of Federation soldiers spotted me "Oh shit it's him!" one of the Federation soldiers said before they all started shooting me I raised my assault rifle and fired at the Federation soldiers I managed to kill a few of them before one of the Pirates ran up to me and started shooting at the Federation soldiers I looked and could see that the Pirate was using a Pirate gun that fired large nails just then one of the Federation soldiers shot the Pirate and the Pirate collapsed to the ground dead I killed the remaining Federation soldiers before I looked at the dead Pirate I looked at the Pirate gun that he was using before I picked the Pirate gun I looked at it for a moment I then added the nail gun to my inventory I then gathered as ammo for the nail gun from the Pirate's dead body as I could hold and put it in one of the pouches on my suit's waist before I continued plundering the town, me and the rest of the Pirates pillaged the town we killed everyone we came across until eventually there was nobody left all of the Federation soldiers were killed everyone that lived in the town was dead and we had stolen everything of value just then one of the Pirates shouted "Alright boys were done here, lets get back to Grimskull's Pirate ship with the loot!" the Pirate yelled, me and the rest of the Pirates returned to the small Pirate ships before we climbed aboard them and once all of the Pirates were onboard the small Pirate ships flew up towards Grimskull's Pirate ship carrying all of the loot we stole, after awhile the small Pirate ships arrived at Grimskull's Pirate ship the large door that was on the side of Grimskull's Pirate ship opened and all of the small Pirate ships flew into Grimskull's Pirate ship and landed all of the Pirates jumped off of the small Pirate ships before grabbing all of the loot off of the small Pirate ships and carrying in to the cargo hold I jumped off of the small Pirate ship and grabbed as much loot as I could carry before I took it to the cargo hold, I entered the cargo hold and dropped off the loot but when I turned around I saw Grimskull standing there Grimskull looked at me before he looked at one of the other Pirates "Report." Grimskull said "We got it all Captain we butchered anyone that got in our way." the Pirate said "And what about him?" Grimskull asked as he pointed at me "He was incredible he gunned down everyone he saw no questions asked, he managed to snag quite a bit of loot too." the Pirate replied, Grimskull looked back at me before he spoke "Did you enjoy that raid?" Grimskull asked "Are you kidding me, that was the most fun I've had in years." I answered, Grimskull laughed before he spoke again "You'll make a great Pirate Josh." Grimskull said before he turned around and left the cargo hold, me and the rest of the Pirates finished dropping off the loot in the cargo hold and once we were done we walked up to the main deck where Grimskull and his first mate were waiting "Alright boys another successful raid grab some rum and hit the sack you've earned it!" Grimskull said, all of the Pirates cheered before they went down to the cargo hold I followed them as they entered the cargo hold and opened a metal barrel with the word "Rum." written on it, there were several mugs sitting on a nearby shelf each of the Pirates grabbed a mug before they scooped up some rum from the metal barrel and drank it I grabbed a mug and scooped up some rum before I drank it and once our thirst was sated me and the rest of the Pirates left the cargo hold and entered a large area below deck the large area was full of hammocks I watched as each of the Pirates climbed into different hammocks and went to sleep I climbed into a hammock upon which the hammock stretched all the way down to the floor due to the weight of my suit I could have exited my suit but I didn't trust the Pirates so I decided to sleep with my suit on the rest of the Pirates climbed into the hammocks and fell asleep but I stayed awake and laid there in my hammock.

Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

I laid in my hammock thinking about everything I had just been through we just raided a town plundered everything that we could get our hands on and killed everyone that got in our way I smiled as I reflected on everything that happened during that raid "Fuck that was incredible, that was the most fun I've had in a long time." I thought, I laid there thinking about everything I was going to do now that I was a Pirate until I thought about something I enjoyed being a Pirate but I didn't enjoy being just a grunt for the Pirates "I am the Emperor I deserve so much better." I thought, I then began thinking about how I could be more than just a grunt until I had an idea "I should be first mate." I thought, I thought about Grimskull's first mate and about all of the privileges that he gets I wanted those kind of privileges but in order to get them I needed to become Grimskull's first mate and in order to do that I would need to get rid of Grimskull's current first mate, I laid in my hammock as I began scheming I thought about how I was going to get rid of Grimskull's first mate I laid there thinking for awhile until I had a plan I rose from my hammock and stood up before I activated my Cloaking Device and put my plan into effect, I walked across Grimskull's Pirate ship doing my best not to wake any of the other Pirates there were a few Pirates that were awake they patrolled around Grimskull's Pirate ship I walked carefully and quietly past them as I made my way towards the Captain's quarters I slowly made my way across Grimskull's Pirate ship until I arrived at the Captain's quarters I looked around to make sure nobody was watching before I slowly and quietly opened the door and stepped inside I then quietly closed the door before I looked around the Captain's quarters I could see Grimskull in a large bed I then looked over and could see Grimskull's armour hanging on a rack Grimskull wasn't wearing his armour I looked at Grimskull and could see that we had white skin and he had short black hair he was also fat I looked over and could see Grimskull's first mate in a hammock both of them were asleep I deactivated my Cloaking Device before I thought about something "I could just kill Grimskull and then wipe out the rest of the Pirates." I thought, I then thought about everything that happened during the raid "I had lots of fun during our raid on that town now that I'm a Pirate I can kill and pillage all I want becoming a Pirate might just be the best thing to ever happen to me." I thought, I then looked at Grimskull before I sighed "I'll let Grimskull live for now, I'm not done being a Pirate yet." I thought "Now to elevate my position." I thought as I looked at Grimskull's first mate, I looked at Grimskull's first mate before I noticed something in one of his pockets I carefully reaching into his pocket and grabbed whatever was in his pocket I then carefully pulled it out and saw that it was a small book I opened the small book and could see that it was a journal Grimskull's first mate had a journal I then began looking through the journal, I looked through the journal Grimskull's first mate wrote down everything that he did I skimmed through the pages of the journal but found nothing useful I then flipped to the last couple of pages in the journal which were blank I then got an idea I walked up to a large desk in the Captain's quarters and picked up a pen I then began writing in the journal, I wrote something in the journal that would convince Grimskull to get rid of his first mate I looked at Grimskull's first mate's writing and did my best to make my writing look like Grimskull's first mate's writing and once I was done I put the journal back in Grimskull's first mate's pocket I then put the pen back on the large desk in the same way I found it I then walked up to Grimskull's armour I carefully grabbed the canteen that was on the waist of Grimskull's armour and looked at it I shook the canteen and I could hear liquid inside the canteen as I shook it I then activated my Cloaking Device before I quietly opened the door and left the Captain's quarters with the canteen in my hand, I left the Captain's quarters and quietly closed the door I then began moving across Grimskull's Pirate ship I walked across Grimskull's Pirate ship doing my best to avoid bumping into the patrolling Pirates I moved across Grimskull's Pirate ship until I arrived at the cargo hold on the lower level I looked around and could see that there was nobody here I then deactivated my Cloaking Device and began searching the cargo hold I searched through the cargo hold until I found the metal barrel with the word "Poison." written on it I walked up to the metal barrel and I opened the metal barrel I looked inside the metal barrel and could see a poisonous liquid inside of it I then removed the lid on Grimskull's canteen before I lowered the canteen into the poisonous liquid I filled Grimskull's canteen with poison before I pulled the canteen out and put the lid back on it I then closed the metal barrel before I activated my Cloaking Device and began moving through Grimskull's Pirate ship again, I made my way across Grimskull's Pirate ship avoiding the patroling Pirates until I arrived back at the Captain's quarters I looked around to make sure nobody was looking before I quietly opened the door and stepped inside I stepped inside the Captain's quarters before I quietly closed the door I looked and could see that Grimskull and his first mate were still sleeping I deactivated my Cloaking Device before I carefully put the canteen back on the waist of Grimskull's armour I then activated my Cloaking Device before I quietly opened the door and left the Captain's quarters I quietly closed the door before I made my way back to my hammock, I evaded the Pirate patrols as I moved across Grimskull's Pirate ship until I eventually arrived back at my hammock I looked around and could see that the other Pirates were still sleeping I deactivated my Cloaking Device and climbed into my hammock I then closed my eyes and fell asleep.

I awoke the next day to the sound of yelling "Get up ya bastards!" one of the Pirates yelled, I rose from my hammock and stood up before I followed the rest of the Pirates as they walked up to the main deck, I began performing my duties as I waited for Grimskull's first mate to walk by me so I could begin the next part of my plan after awhile Grimskull's first mate began walking towards me as he inspected the crew and as Grimskull's first mate walked past me I looked around to make sure nobody was looking before I quickly and carefully pickpocketed Grimskull's first mate's journal off of him I then quickly put his journal in one of the pouches on my suit's waist as Grimskull's first mate walked away he and the rest of the Pirates were completely unaware of what just happened I continued working as Grimskull's first mate walked away and once he went below deck I began the next part of my plan I walked towards Grimskull who was piloting his Pirate ship I pulled Grimskull's first mate's journal out of one of the pouches on my suit's waist before I approached Grimskull "Captain can I talk to you?" I asked "What do you want Josh?" Grimskull replied "Well when your first mate was walking by he dropped this." I lied as I held up the journal "I couldn't help but read a few pages in this journal and... well you might want to take a look at this." I said as I flipped to the page I had written on last night and held the journal up so Grimskull could read it, Grimskull looked at the journal and began reading what I had written "Today is the day I will begin my plan to overthrow Grimskull and become Captain, I have poisoned Grimskull's canteen and once he drinks from it he will die painfully and then I will be Captain." Grimskull read, Grimskull then shouted "First mate, front and center!" Grimskull shouted, I watched as Grimskull's first mate emerged from below deck before he ran towards Grimskull "Aye Captain." Grimskull's first mate said "Care to explain what this is?" Grimskull asked, Grimskull's first mate looked at the journal before his eyes widened "That's my journal!" Grimskull's first mate said "Yeah I know now tell me why you plan on killing me!" Grimskull barked "What I would never betray you Captain." Grimskull's first mate said "Then explain this!" Grimskull said as he grabbed the journal and handed it to his first mate, Grimskull's first mate grabbed the journal and read what I had written he then looked at Grimskull "I didn't write this!" Grimskull's first mate said, by this point the rest of the Pirates had stopped what they were doing and were now all looking at us "You thought you could just kill me and take my Pirate ship!" Grimskull said "Captain I would never betray you!" Grimskull's first mate pleaded "Well then I guess there's only one way to find out if your tellin the truth." Grimskull said "Oi you!" Grimskull said as he pointed at one of the other Pirates "Come here!" Grimskull said, the Pirate that Grimskull pointed to approached Grimskull Grimskull then grabbed his canteen and handed it to the Pirate "Drink from this." Grimskull ordered, the Pirate grabbed the canteen and removed the lid he then began drinking from the canteen and after a few seconds the Pirate began puking he dropped the canteen as he held his belly and fell to his knees the Pirate writhed in agony as he puked until eventually he collapsed to the floor dead Grimskull then looked at his first mate "Traitor!" Grimskull yelled, Grimskull's first mate darted his head around baffled by what was happening "No that's bullshit, I didn't..." Grimskull's first mate said but Grimskull was having none of it "Get him!" Grimskull ordered as the rest of the Pirates including myself grabbed Grimskull's first mate we carried Grimskull's first mate over to one side of Grimskull's Pirate ship one of the Pirates then grabbed a plank of wood and placed it down on the edge of Grimskull's Pirate ship so that then wooden plank led off of the side of Grimskull's Pirate ship we then put Grimskull's first mate in front of the wooden plank before we backed away from him and surrounded him Grimskull then approached and the Pirates moved out of the way as he walked up to his first mate "Now walk the plank!" Grimskull said, Grimskull's first mate then looked towards the edge of Grimskull's Pirate ship before he slowly walked across the wooden plank I stood there with a smile on my face the other Pirates couldn't see my face because I was still in my suit my plan was working perfectly and I was enjoying every second of it Grimskull's first mate walked to the end of the wooden plank before he turned around to look at Grimskull "Captain please..." Grimskull's first mate said but before he could continued Grimskull slammed his foot on the wooden plank causing his first mate to lose his balance and fall I heard Grimskull's first mate scream as he fell to his death I stood there smiling as the other Pirates slowly returned to their duties Grimskull walked over to his canteen he picked his canteen up off of the floor before he walked over to the edge of Grimskull's Pirate ship Grimskull then poured the poisonous liquid out over the side of Grimskull's Pirate ship and once the canteen was empty Grimskull put the lid back on it before he put his canteen back on the waist of his armour Grimskull then walked up to me "Josh come with me." Grimskull said as he began moving and I followed behind him, we arrived at the Captain's quarters we entered and Grimskull closed the door Grimskull then walked up to the large desk and sat in a chair behind the large desk Grimskull let out a sigh before he spoke "I can't believe my first mate tried to kill me." Grimskull said "It's done now Captain he's dead and you are still alive, you are still Captain." I said, "Now that my old first mate is dead I will need a new first mate." Grimskull said before he looked at me "You did great during our last raid and you were the one who brought this treachery to my attention so I've decided to make you my first mate." Grimskull said "I would be honored to be your first mate Captain." I replied "I expect good things from you first mate." Grimskull said "I won't disappoint you Captain." I said "Go and oversee the crew make sure they're still working after what they saw." Grimskull said "Aye Captain." I replied as I turned around and left the Captain's quarters, I left the Captain's quarters with a smile on my face my plan worked perfectly I was now Grimskull's first mate.

I've been here for weeks now and I've enjoyed every second of it as Grimskull's first mate my duty was to inspected the crew but mostly I just had to stand next to Grimskull and provide him with feedback and advice regarding our next move being Grimskull's first mate had it's advantages like today as Grimskull piloted Grimskull's Pirate ship I stood next to him relaying his orders to the rest of the crew just then one of the other Pirates approached us "Captain, it's ready." the Pirate said "Good." Grimskull said before he looked at me "Come with me Josh." Grimskull said as he began walking, I followed Grimskull as we made our way across Grimskull's Pirate ship we went below deck as we walked until eventually we reached a door Grimskull opened the door and we entered a small room I looked around and could see that the small room looked like a workshop there were pieces of scrap metal scattered about everywhere and there were various tools hanging from hooks on the walls I then looked ahead and could see what looked like a small Pirate ship sitting in the center of the small room the small ship was identical to the other small Pirate ships but there were mechanical parts inside the cockpit the small Pirate ship had a single engine at the back and it had two machine guns and two rocket launchers on it just like the other small Pirate ships the small Pirate ship was sitting on two large doors that were built into the floor of Grimskull's Pirate ship "This is for you Josh, consider it a gift for your loyalty." Grimskull said "What is it?" I asked "This is something mah crew has been working on for awhile now, it's one of our small Pirate ships modified to be piloted by a Robot that's hooked up to the small Pirate ship." Grimskull said as he pulled a small device out of a pouch that was on the waist of his armour "The Robot that pilots the small Pirate ship is controlled by this device." Grimskull said as he handed the small device to me, I took the small device and looked at it before Grimskull spoke again "You can use that device to call this small Pirate ship the small Pirate ship will fly out from my Pirate ship and will go to a location that you mark the small Pirate ship will fly in and attack the location with it's machine guns and rocket launchers before flying back to my Pirate ship to refuel and reload." Grimskull said, I held the device up to my suit's helmet and just then the device attached itself to my suit's helmet a message then appeared on my helmet's visor "Air Strike Designator installed." the message read "Thanks." I said "I expect you to put it to good use." Grimskull said "Oh trust me, I will." I replied, me and Grimskull then left the small room.

I walked across Grimskull's Pirate ship as I followed behind Grimskull we made our way back to the Captain's quarters we entered the Captain's quarters and I closed the door Grimskull sat in his chair at his desk as he looked at a map of the world "These are glorious times Josh." Grimskull said, I looked at Grimskull before he looked up at me and spoke again "With you workin for me we've achieved more than I ever thought possible." Grimskull said "With you here we can do anything so I've decided to attack the Resistance base." Grimskull said "You used to be a Resistance fighter you have knowledge about the Resistance base with you we can attack the Resistance base and get our hands on all of there Resistance weapons and Resistance technology." Grimskull said "But first I need to know where the Resistance base is." Grimskull said as he stood up and approached me "So tell me Josh, where is the Resistance base?" Grimskull asked, I stood there thinking about what to do now that I was a Pirate I was no longer loyal to the Resistance but I didn't want anyone at the Resistance base to know that I was a Pirate I stood there thinking until I had an idea "Captain if I may, I have a better idea." I said, Grimskull stood there looking at me "I'm listening." Grimskull said "The Federation and the Resistance have been at war with each other for years eventually either the Federation or the Resistance is going to win that war but we are not part of that war the Federation and the Resistance aren't fighting us so instead of attacking the Resistance and provoking them we leave the Resistance alone for now, we wait for either the Federation or the Resistance to win their little war and once the war is over and one side is left standing then we attack, we attack whoever wins the war the winning side will have spent most of their resources fighting so they will be vulnerable plus they wont be expecting an attack from us making them an easy target once the winning side is destroyed we can take everything that remains from both the Federation and the Resistance." I said, Grimskull stood there scratching his chin it was clear that he was at least considering what I was saying but he didn't seem convinced so I had to sweeten the deal "And afterwards not only will the Federation and the Resistance be out of the picture making pillaging and plundering much easier but you can go around telling people that it was you who destroyed the Federation, people will be so grateful they would be willing to do... well I'm going to say anything you want." I said, Grimskull looked at me for a moment before he laughed "Now you're thinkin like a Pirate, I knew makin you my first mate was a good choice." Grimskull said before he walked back to his chair and sat down "Alright then we will leave the Resistance alone for now and once the war is over then we attack." Grimskull said "For now go and oversee the crew." Grimskull said "Aye Captain." I replied as I left the Captain's quarters, I walked out of the Captain's quarters and onto the main deck I successfully manipulated Grimskull into postponing his attack on the Resistance base but as I walked across Grimskull's Pirate ship I began thinking "It's only a matter of time before the Pirates attack the Resistance base, I think I've overstayed my welcome." I thought, I knew that I couldn't be a Pirate anymore as much as I enjoyed killing and pillaging I didn't want anyone at the Resistance base knowing that I was a Pirate so with that in mind I knew that I needed to get back to the Resistance base and the best way to do that would be to take Grimskull's Pirate ship as my own and fly it back to the Resistance base but in order to do that I need to get rid of these Pirates and that means killing Grimskull.

I walked across Grimskull's Pirate ship overseeing the crew until eventually I heard one of the Pirates yell "Ship ahead!" the Pirate shouted, me and the rest of the Pirates ran to the edge of Grimskull's Pirate ship and looked and sure enough there was a Federation transport flying nearby just then Grimskull left the Captain's quarters and shouted "Prepare for attack!" Grimskull yelled, all of the Pirates began rushing around Grimskull's Pirate ship as I directed them "Ready on the guns!" I said as the other Pirates ran towards the artillery cannons and prepared for attack I looked at the Federation transport the Federation transport didn't notice us which gave us the element of surprise I ran up to Grimskull and stood next to him as all of the other Pirates were ready for the attack just then Grimskull looked at me "Josh soften em up with your Attack Ship." Grimskull said "Aye Captain." I said as I activated my Air Strike Designator and as I did so I could see a crosshair on my helmet's visor I aimed my crosshair at the Federation transport and then I thought about using my Attack Ship and the instant I did so I could see my Attack Ship fly out from Grimskull's Pirate ship my Attack Ship flew towards the Federation transport and started attacking it with machine guns and rockets my Attack Ship then flew away as the Federation transport started firing at my Attack Ship just then Grimskull yelled "Fire!" Grimskull yelled as the other Pirates fired the artillery cannons at the Federation transport, the Federation transport then began shooting at Grimskull's Pirate ship I deactivated my Air Strike Designator and the crosshair on my helmet's visor disappeared I then saw my Attack Ship fly back to Grimskull's Pirate ship the other Pirates fired the artillery cannons at the Federation transport we managed to damage the Federation transport quite a bit however Grimskull's Pirate ship also suffered damage just then Grimskull shouted "Ready on the harpoons!" Grimskull yelled as several Pirates ran up to the harpoon guns and aimed them at the Federation transport "Fire the harpoons!" Grimskull shouted as the Pirates fired the harpoons guns at the Federation transport the harpoons landed in the back door of the Federation transport just then the Pirates retracted the harpoons which pulled the back door of the Federation transport off "Prepare to board!" Grimskull yelled as the Pirates ran to the small Pirate ships just then Grimskull looked at me "I want you on this raid Josh." Grimskull said "Aye Captain." I said as I ran towards the small Pirate ships, I arrived at one of the small Pirate ships as the other Pirates were climbing aboard it I climbed aboard one of the small Pirate ships before the large door that was on the side of Grimskull's Pirate ship opened and all of the small Pirate ships flew out from Grimskull's Pirate ship and soared towards the Federation transport.

The small Pirate ship flew towards the Federation transport I looked around and could see several other small Pirate ships flying towards the Federation transport as well the Federation transport continued firing some of the small Pirate ships were destroyed by the barrage of fire coming from the Federation transport the small Pirate ships that survived reached the back of the Federation transport each of the small Pirate ships hovered near the opening at the back of the Federation transport and the Pirates disembarked the small Pirate ships the small Pirate ship that I was on then approached the back of the Federation transport I watched as the Pirates disembarked the small Pirate ship I was about to jump off of the small Pirate ship but then I thought about something "This might be my only chance to get rid of these Pirates." I thought, I then had an idea I looked at the pilot of the small Pirate ship and spoke to him "Tell the other small Pirate ships to fly around the Federation transport distract the Federation transport so that it stops firing at the Grimskull's Pirate ship make sure you and the other small Pirate ships stay close so we can load up the loot and fly outta here." I said "Alright I'll tell them." the pilot of the small Pirate ship said as I disembarked the small Pirate ship and was now on the Federation transport, I began running through the Federation transport I could hear gunfire coming from within the Federation transport which meant that the other Pirates had already begun killing the soldiers onboard I quickly ran though the Federation transport and I soon caught up with the other Pirates just as they finished killing the soldiers in one of the section of the Federation transport "Keep moving, kill em all!" I said as me and the other Pirates ran through the Federation transport, we ran through the Federation transport killing every Federation solider we came across we ran from section to section killing every soldier we saw until eventually we reached the cockpit of the Federation transport we entered the cockpit and I kill the pilot of the Federation transport and with that all of the soldiers aboard the Federation transport were dead I then ran up to the controls in the cockpit and looked at them I then noticed at button to activate the autopilot I pressed the button and the Federation transport's autopilot was now active I then turned around and looked at the Pirates "Alright search the Federation transport for anything valuable, I'm going back to Grimskull to give him the good news." I said as the rest of the Pirates began searching the Federation transport, I ran back through the Federation transport as I thought about how I was going to get rid of the Pirates almost all of the Pirates are onboard this Federation transport if I can find a way to destroy the Federation transport while they're all still onboard that will leave only the few Pirates that are on Grimskull's Pirate ship left to deal with then I just have to kill Grimskull I ran through the Federation transport until I came across a section of the Federation transport that we didn't enter I entered the section and noticed that this section of the Federation transport was full of fuel barrels "Perfect." I thought as I pull out a grenade and pulled the pin on it I then tossed the grenade into the section of the Federation transport before I sprinted to the back of the Federation transport and once I reached the back of the Federation transport I could see one of the small Pirate ships hovering close to the opening I wasted no time climbing aboard the small Pirate ship I then looked at the pilot of the small Pirate ship "Take me back to the Grimskull's Pirate ship and tell the other small Pirate ships to stay close to the Federation transport so the other Pirates can load up the loot." I said "Alright." the pilot of the small Pirate ship said before the small Pirate ship began flying back to Grimskull's Pirate ship, as the small Pirate ship was flying back to Grimskull's Pirate ship one of the other small Pirate ship flew nearby just then the two pilots of the two small Pirate ships began talking to each other "What's going on?" the pilot of the other small Pirate ship asked "Stay near the back of the Federation transport so the other Pirates can load up the loot." the pilot of the small Pirate ship that I was on replied, just then the other small Pirate ship flew towards the Federation transport I looked back and could see that the rest of the small Pirate ships were now flying close to the Federation transport the small Pirate ship that I was on arrived at Grimskull's Pirate ship the large door that was on the side of Grimskull's Pirate ship opened and the small Pirate ship flew into Grimskull's Pirate ship and landed I jumped off of the small Pirate ship and just as I did so I heard an explosion I looked through the large door that was on the side of Grimskull's Pirate ship and could see that my grenade had exploded and caused all of the fuel barrels in that one section of the Federation transport to explode the massive explosion destroyed most of the Federation transport all of the small Pirate ships that were flying close to the Federation transport were destroyed by the explosion the Federation transport then began plummeting down towards the ground the pilot of the small Pirate ship that I was just on saw what happened "What the fuck was that?" the pilot of the small Pirate ship asked, I didn't answer his question instead I raised my assault rifle and pointed it at the pilot of the small Pirate ship I then shot the pilot of the small Pirate ship before I began running through Grimskull's Pirate ship killing the few remaining Pirates.

I ran through Grimskull's Pirate ship shooting every Pirate I saw the few Pirates that were on Grimskull's Pirate ship were confused by the sight of me shooting them at first but it didn't take long for them to start shooting back for all the good it did them I effortlessly gunned down the Pirates on Grimskull's Pirate ship and before long all of the Pirates were now dead the Pirates that were onboard the Federation transport were killed when the Federation transport went down and the Pirates on Grimskull's Pirate ship were killed by me I then ran up to the main deck and could see Grimskull standing there looking at me "Josh what are you doing?" Grimskull asked "Taking your Pirate ship for myself." I replied "After everything you've done for me, are you really just going to throw it all away?" Grimskull asked "I only ever cared about my own interests." I said "What do you mean?" Grimskull asked "Oh come on Grimskull after all of the work you did to keep a close eye on me you still fucked up." I said, "What are you talking about?" Grimskull asked "Did you really not suspect that something was wrong about the way your first mate was planning to poison you?" I asked, Grimskull stood there silent for a moment before he realized "It was you, you wrote those words in my first mate's journal, you poisoned my canteen, you planned all of this!" Grimskull shouted "And now your crew is dead and all I need to do now is kill you." I said as I raised my assault rifle and fired at Grimskull, my bullets bounced off of Grimskull's armour as Grimskull fired his harpoon guns at me in an attempt to restrain me again but this time I was ready I quickly dodged the three harpoons before I extended my blade and ran up to him Grimskull raised his gun and started firing at me I evaded his attacks before I slashed his leg my blade cut right through his armour Grimskull yelled as he fired at me I easily avoided his attacks as I continued to tear away at his armour I cut his armour over and over again as Grimskull desperately tried to hit me eventually I managed to damage Grimskull's armour enough that it started falling off of him Grimskull struggled to try and keep his armour together but it was no use Grimskull's armour was falling apart I watched as Grimskull's helmet fell off before I raised my assault rifle and pointed it directly at his head Grimskull looked at me with an angry expression I fired my assault rifle I shot Grimskull directly in the head upon which Grimskull collapsed to the floor Grimskull is dead.

I looked at Grimskull's dead body for a moment "This Pirate ship is mine now." I said before I reloaded my assault rifle, I then looked around at Grimskull's Pirate ship this Pirate ship and all of the treasure on it now belong to me I then walked up to the wheel of Grimskull's Pirate ship I placed both of my hands on the wheel and began flying Grimskull's Pirate ship I looked around and could see that there were various pieces of navigation equipment around the wheel I used the navigation equipment to chart a course to Scotland and once the course was set I piloted Grimskull's Pirate ship and flew it towards Scotland.
