Hours later the sun had gone down not that I could tell for all around me was darkness rain beat against my skin as my raft cut through and up waves as big as Wales shit some were even as big as dragons lightning flashed across the sky and thunder burst forth and at the center of this storm was a single raft that had a laughing man with a blue poll in his hands this man was singing
I thought I heard the old man say Leave her Jonny leave her Tomorrow ye will get your pay and it's time for us to leave her leave her Jonny leave her
As I sand Red head which still was coming out of my back was wrapped tightly around where the old sail unto be but I had put away the sale after it broke so all that was left was the mast that held it Red sang along with me, while Polly sat on her head flapping her wings occasionally and Cawing in anger I jurked the poll up when I did a huge gold sword fish burst out from the sea my new needle pistol appeared on my right hand as I brought my hand up pulling the trigger when I did three spikes shot forward in rapid succession one was a black needle wall the other two was bright green one of the green needles missed wall the second needle hit the fishes tail sparking of its gold hide wall the black needle which was the black one short forth and sank right between the fishes eyes killing it on the spot I flicked my hand my pistol and this fish corpse disappearing I then cast my line out again with my huge cat smile my eyes glowing in the dark Polly caws barely heard over the waves and storm what are we looking for master Caw caw I looked up to the dark sky with one eye wall my other eye was closed as I yelled back we will know when we see it till then just sit back and enjoy the ride and weather Caw caw you got a few screws loose master if you think this is wonderful weather to enjoy I chuckled my sharp teeth standing out in the darkness Red giggled I for one agree with Polly here master what are you looking for I shrugged chuckling you will see till then let's keep fishing o look a shark let's get em with that I jurked the pull up when I did the top of the poll pulled down and the line shot out so fast smoke started to come from the real that's how fast the line was leaving the real I pulled the rod to the side my muscles bulging from the strain but my huge cat smile didn't fade shit it got bigger as I changed into my cat form before I started to real with in the line slowly the tip of the poll jurked down and pulled from side to side as what ever was on the other end tried to escape but sadly for it if it was anyone else the line would have already snapped and it would have gotten away but it met me and I not only channel my mana into the poll but I used the shadows to strengthen it Caw it would seem we got a big one I nodded indeed but it ant big enough I roared as I jurked the pull up when I did this so called shark burst up out from the sea all though it might have been shark shape vaguely it was the farthest thing from a shark with its shining steal plate armor and the several sharp bone spikes that looked like shark teeth that covered its body it's glowing angry black eyes flashed when they seen me and I seen a strange light start to form from inside its chest shit that thing can breath fire caw caw Polly cawd as she flapped her wings worriedly but I was unfazed I raised my hand my pistol appearing in my hand as I pulled the trigger but this time though i didn't let go of it 20 needles short forth rappedly 15 of my needles sparked harmlessly off its armored hide but the other 5 hit right when it opened its mouth to breath the fire all 5 needles shot forward and sank into the top of its mouth and throat the second the 4 needle sank into its flesh all the needles started to glow for a breaf moment nothing happened but then BOOM!! All the needles decorated right when I seen fire start to come up the sharks throat the explosion that followed next sent shockwaves through the water that was so strong that it pushed away any waves that was near ones more the dark surroundings light up like the sun had descended and the sheer heat that came from this explosion made the rain stop and my wet clothes dry in almost an instant of course I was harmed from this my body started to smoke and severe burns formed on my body Polly had disappeared into my shadow wall Red devoured any fire that touched her it was so bright that I had to close my eyes and look away but as fast as it came the light and heat faded and it started raining again which felt so good on my bodys burns I opened my eyes waving my hand when I seen the floating headless corpse of the shark that was making the water around it hiss and stream rose up from it for that how hot it was As the corpse disappeared into my bracelet Polly shot out of my shadow amd landed on Red head again cawing the fuck was that master are you ok I side my pistol disappearing from my hand as I want back to my normal form mumbling well that bloody hurt with that the burns slowly started to heal till they was completely gone note to self instead of alchemist fire use something less volatile Caw you think caw caw I side hearing Polly laughter but then the rain stopped and the sea calmed shit there barely was a wind and it was way to quiet almost dead quiet Polly looked around with worry she flapped her wings opening her beek but before she could make a sound Red wrapped a tentacle around her beek closing it as I felt a finger up to my lips silently shushing her Polly froze not moving a inche I slowly started to look around but I seen nothing but calm empty seas I slowly pulled out a small bone and through it the moment it hit the water several black ghostly hands shot out from the seas dragging the bone to the deep when I seen this my huge cat smile was back in my face thinking she is hear I slowly turned around when I did my eyes shinned with greed and there she be a ship a sloop her black tattered sails down her cannon ports open with several rusty but salvageable cannons poking through the ports the shit it's self was made from a dark wood she was a sloop of war so she only carried a single gun deck which was right below the main deck sadly there was several cannon holes and scorch marks on her but she still flew the black flad O yes the jolly rogers flew high and it flapped from a none existing wind from a far off time the ship slowly cut across the water till she was right on top of us the bow figure head which was once a beautiful mermaid her big breasts out for all to see sadly half of her face was missing wall the other side of her face was scorched black she held a broken saber at her side wall her other hand pointed forward towards the distant horizon but her pointing finger was gone blown off by someone probably a cannon ball the ship slowly lurched passed me till I got to see the ships rear and there in big faded gold letters right under the captions corters was her name
THE Shadow
I picked up my poll it disappeared. I looked to Polly and Red who both had wide fearful eyes seeing the ship I winked at them both and jumped off the raft the moment I did so the raft broke and sank to the bottom of the sea I grabbed a hole of the ship's rail and pulled myself onto her deck with a simple tug I turned around to see the last remnants of my raft sinking to the bottom of the sea I bowed towards it and gave a moment of thanks for it getting me here with that I turned around saying Polly, Red do not speak nor do anything no matter what do you both understand Red head moved to look into my eyes before she nodded wall Polly landed on the rail nodding aswell I nodded back good now let's get started I made my way to the broken wheel that was in front of me it's handles was gold dragon heads I grasped the wheel with one hand as I moved off to its side like I was about to address the crew below me as I spoke you dont have to hide lass I know your there don't be shy you are honestly the biggest and strangest mimic that I have ever seen nothing happened at first then the ships deck shuttered when it did a rope shot forth and tightly wrapped around my neck before dragging me up into the air but sadly for the shadow I was a cursed one and I could breath normally do to the fact my race didn't need much air to survive what hurt was the rope tightly digging into my neck I tapped the rope saying good sir is that anyway to greet someone the ship didn't respond it just tightened the rope around my neck till crack crack pop my neck snapped and hung to the side unnaturally the light in my eyes disappeared as my body want slack but my lips was still curled up into my cat grin the ship shuttered mockingly as a mouth formed underneath me this mouth opened up to show several jagged sharp teeth that grinned against each other as these teeth spun clashing against each other almost like a brush cutter the rope then let go of my corpse Polly and Red lunged to grab me but in these few seconds of my corpse falling the shadows traveled through my body it snapped my neck back into place and the bruising around my neck slowly faded then the shadows dove into my body and moved towards the black and white heart that was in my chest the shadows dove right into my heart when it did my heart started to beat which send a jult to my brain and body that fire appeared back in my eyes as I flipped around in the air and moved my feet out landing ontop of this mouth with my arms crossed I looked down at this snapping mouth chuckling how rude for that I will be taking this with that I reached down and drove my clawed hand into the top of this mouth when I did my fingers grabbed something hard I jurked my hand out when I did clutched on my hand was a bloody baseball sized Perl that glowed with a ghostly light the moment I grabbed this Perl the hole ship shook as a angry beastly voice roared give me back my Perl you bastard that is when a spiked tongue shot out from the mouth under me but I laughed flipping backwards the tongue just missing me I skitted backwards on the deck to a stop I then slowly stood up brushing dust off my shoulder saying wow so rude fine lets get down to business I then looked forward and held up the Perl again Roaring I challenge the captain for his seat the moment I said that the ship stopped shaking and a strange unnatural silence fell over the deck till a booming voice roared what gives you the right to challenge for the captains seat my huge cat grin spread across my lips the moment I heard that my right is this and ghostly black and blue raven wings burst out from my back as a strange life like plague dactors mask formed over my face before quickly disappearing I then roared to the sky I am the raven mothers tenth raven blade I am Hunter Fang Hellsing and this ship has her realm magic on it or is this not the ship called the Shadow the moment I roared that that silence was back but this time it was shocked silences instead after a few seconds that is when I heard it thump the stomp of someone's feet then it happened again thump thump this time it sounded like two people stomped then several people stomped till
thump THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP!
The ship shook from the noise as slowly shadowy figures appeared each one of them was unique for they did not wear matching colors nor was they the same race but they all had one thing in common each one of them had a fatal wound like one dark elf fella who had on a strange skin-tight leather armor and a once bright pink bomber jacket over it I say it was one once that color cuz it was no longer that anymore it had been stained red from its wearer's blood where did this blood come from you may ask well it surely didn't come from his nearly decapitated head that was handing on by a small peace of flesh it all that blood surely didn't come from that wound no your crazy or a ork samurai in a black kimono that had a musket sized hole right over his heart or there was a humanoid figure that had his body scortched black so badly I had no idea what race he was just that he was a humanoid there was many more of these shadowy figures that slowly started to appear every one of them was stomping there feet or slamming there hands against something they cleared a path so I could walk to the main deck and that's exactly what I did I moved to the stairs and then walked down the stairs as I did I seen a half circle start to form as these ghostly figures watched me slowly walk down the stairs they didn't stop stomping there at the center of the deck was a old warn looking chest that had rusted strips of steal going across it the ghostly figures made a half circle around this chest and the moment I stepped into this half circle the shadowy figures slowly closed the circle the moment they did is when several sets of beedy black eyes opened at the top of the chest and that voice then spoke you hold right to challenge me but do you have the votes laddy my huge cat smile didn't fade as I swept my eyes around me saying y don't we hold a vote for this be a pirates shit and we are all free man here I lads
I SIR the crew yelled
I nodded good allow me to go first then I offer you all nothing that you couldn't earn with your own hands Freedom and the choice to pass on to the other side but to those who wish to stay I can promise you this there will be much riches, woman and rum in your future I can offer you bodies of your own they may not be your own flesh amd blood but you would be able to feel the touch of a woman and the joys that comes with it o and you will be able to taste food and rum again and lastly o offer you freedom from this prison I offer you the ability to sail the open seas again and plunder her riches so that is what I offer how about you chest what do you offer and my eyes flicked back to the chest my eyes glowing with confidants the chest slowly blinked all of his eyes before it spoke I offer you all nothing for this is my ship and you all are merely guests to keep her a float
Crew- boo
I laughed holding my hands out to each side chuckling you heard it here, laddies would you rather follow the monster who offers you the sea or the monster who forces you to stay here to be a prisoner or to be free which do you pick
That nearly headless dark elf stepped forward yelling All who vote for The Hellsing to be our captain say I
I!
Almost all the crew roared I
That dark elf figure nodded his head wobbling as he did so ok all who wish for the mimic to be our captain say nay
Nay!
Only one or two yelled Nay I chuckled nodding as I looked to this mimic saying you heard it here mate the votes are in I won the chest started to shake in anger but it spoke in a calm voice I hold the right to choose " the challenge I laughed shaking my head nay your wrong; we are all free men here all hold the right to vote who there captain is especially if said captain isn't doing there duties but sense I am feeling generous today and out of respect for the code I will except your challenge what do you choose for our duel the mimic didn't speak at first the chest just sat there doing nothing at first its eyes just slowly blinked then it's body started to shake out of anger and it's black eyes turned blood red as the latch on the chest flicked open and a long spiked tongue shot towards me I didn't move nor was I fazed by this sneak attack I just smacked it to the side chuckling a duel to the death then the chest burst up onto the air as two sickly long fleshy legs and arms burst out from the chest these lems looked sticky from the blood that was on it his long fingers extended out into very sharp and jagged claws that look like they would hurt and then sharp spiked teeth appeared in the chest opening the mimic let out a angry roar I AM GOING TO KILL YOU with that he charged I laughed my cat grin getting even bigger as I shifted into my cat form I roared to the sky yes Lets fight! With that Red quickly shot back into my body when she did my the tips of my black fur turned blood red and the tips of my claws turned the same color I leaned back this mimics claw flying over the top of me I spun around kicking it right in its chest literally the mimic stumbled back from the force of my kick my lips curled even higher as my cat smile turned predatory my eyes shining brightly and my boat shook from the growl that came from deep in my throat I slowly shrugged off my coat before I raised a claw to motion for him to come at me as I growled lets do this shit yee ugly fuck the mimic roared angrily and lunged at towards me.
