"Anything's more relaxing than being in that stuffy room, it took all my willpower to not shoot everyone in there," Scarlet says, walking out of the shadows.

"Do not be so hasty, I can see that the Americans are getting maybe a little antsy as well with the rulers here... but I am not sure of the future... but yes, I almost drew my captain's sword at Lord Zolas." he said the name with a sarcastic tone of voice.
"But the company is great." He smiled and nodded his head behind him, he was nervous about being eavesdropped.

"I think we should take our leave, I've learned all I needed to know, we need to set sail for New York," Scarlet says, taking Fox's hand, but in secret passes a note to him saying one word "Singapore."

Captain Fox was confused as he was setting sail... He Looked at his ship, he had already taken care of the two other ships, being sent to an island he knew of that they could take care of the ships.
He had his men set the sails and soon he was sailing out the port of Jamestown, His eyes now scanning north to New York, he was wondering what she meant exactly by the words used to mean pressing someone into service... would they do that in New York.

(New York was a ruse in case anyone was listening, I meant Singapore, a mistake on my part, sorry.)

As soon as he was away from port he smiled and right away turned course and was now heading to Singapore, he smiled as it took a pirate that was rumored to be part fox a few minutes to realize the trick, he was now had his bow and sails heading to the Asian port city of almost all trade.
The trip he hoped was uneventful... he rather not want to try and get more spoils of war at the moment.

Scarlet was overseeing the work on her ship, she knew that Singapore would be the best place to go in order to start gathering the rest of the Pirate Lords, if Ang was willing to listen.
She shook her head, why did the South Seas Pirate Lords always have to be harder to gather in the time of a crisis?

Captain Fox was looking forward to seeing Singapore, it was there that he had found a small gold statue that he liked and was able to bargine for it. It was now an almost good luck charm for his ships... it was a small gold creature that he learned was called a Kitsune... he liked it because it was a fox... the dealer seemed relunctant to give it to him, but after enough gold had greased his palm... he was more then willing to give it up... and so far it had allowed every ship he crossed easy to capture. He was smiling as they slowly approached Singapore.

Within days, they find themselves in a court of a different sort. Deep in the Singapore underground, their weapons are taken from them (as well as some articles of clothing from Scarlet), but soon they are brought before a man in chinese garb, with a little stubble of a beard, and balding black hair.
"Ang Zhou, Pirate Lord of the South Seas, we have come to enlist your help," Scarlet says, giving a curtsey to the pirate before her.
"And you, Scarlet Morrison, you come before me bearing the pendant of the Pirate Lord of the Carribean, so I suppose that would mean Roberts is dead then," Ang says, shaking his head. "Fine man, fine pirate, too bad I can scarcely say the same for his choice in successors. What is your buisness in Singapore?"
"Not good buisness, I can tell you that, Ang, the song has been sung, you've felt it too, haven't you?" Scarlet questions, and the pirate lord tenses up. "The rest of the nine are already in transit to Shipwreck Island, but your reputation of being unwilling to converse with the Bretheren Court proceeds you."

Captain Fox didn't like it, he hoped to get his Spanish sword back soon after this meeting ends. "Indeed... We have plans and we need all nine to follow through... it will not be long before the East Indian Trading Company come even to Singapore, and drives even you out of your strongholds... it is happening to those in the Caribbean, and soon it shall be on your own doorstep if you do not act." He was calm and showed no fear as he talked to one of the most powerful Pirate Lords in the Asian seas.

"You are young, Scarlet, and your inexperience shows, the Bretheren Court has never been able to successfully combat the East India Trading Company, because of our lack of a Pirate King," Ang says.
"Yeah, because every pirate always votes for himself," Scarlet says in agreement. "But we need a king if we're going to end the threat, one member of the Breatheren Court will have to vote for someone other than himself or herself, but Ang, you have to at least come, the court cannot even begin to talk about it without all 9 members there."
Ang starts to say something, and then shots are heard from outside. "You fools, you've drawn them here!" Ang shouts as a number of soldiers burst into the room, muskets drawn and pointed at the pirates.

Captain Fox looked horrified. "What? But I saw no ships behind me... they must be here sooner then I would have expected... they want power and they want it now." He had stepped back and looking for a weapon to use against them. He knew that right now he had to find a way to defend himself.
However, somehow, Scarlet found a note in her hand upon it, it read... Take the Pirate Lord with you... I can buy you time, I am no use to the court, I am not even a Pirate Lord yet... So go and I'll distract them.
He picked up a musket rifle from a dead man and hid behind a water tub, and every once in a while poked his head up and fired off a shot. He knew his men would be fighting on the docks, but at the moment he knew that he needed to at least distract them to allow them to get to shipwreck cove.

"Ang, come on!" Scarlet shouts, grabing the Pirate Lord's arm, and grabs her effects, which just happen to be close by, and opens a trap door, letting the Chinese Pirate Lord go down first, and mouthing a "Good Luck" to Fox before going down after Ang.

As soon as they were out of sight he smiled, the other men were fighting and he knew that it would be a fighting loss, but he would fight till the end, an explosion happened and his own effects were scattered around him, he saw some of his home made explosives and right away lite a fuse and flung it to the soldiers that were crowding the bath house, right away a path was blown through and the other men too the chance to charge forward, they were hardened men and they knew that the fight ahead would be hard...
Captain Fox strapped on the sword and began to move forward with the men, only the floor boards were weakened and he crashed right through the floor moment before a cannon shell flew into the chamber, he would have been killed but he was saved by his own foolishness, right away once he got his wits he began to use the tunnels to get to the docks and his ship... he knew that the ships would have to fight their way though, but he knew they would be prepared.

Scarlet and Ang weren't having a much better job, they managed to escape most of the guards by going through the tunnels, but they had to fight off a few of the soldiers as they finally reached the ships. "I want this ship ready to go in less than 5 minutes, and start sending out the signal, we need to bring the beast to the surface!" She shouts to the crew, who is now in a frenzy to get ready to cast off.
At the same time, a vibration is felt through the water, and somewhere deep in the harbor, an unearthly glow appears.

Captain Fox had seen the carnage of the others coming through and soon, he was climbing up a rope of one of the ships flying the British flags docked in the harbor, of course as soon as he step foot upon the ship the flags dropped and the flag of the running fox lifted up, the other pirates saw the glow in the water and they knew that they had to show their allience or they too might be destroyed. "Very good gentlemen... let us wait and see what this beast can do... meanwhile get us ready to sail and have all gun decks ready to be used."
The crew nodded and went to work.

The Lilith's crew that wasn't in the middle of getting ready, was firing on the soldiers that are advancing on the pirate ships.
Below the surface, the giant shark dives deep, and starts speeding upwards towards one of the ships that is blockading the harbor. As the shark bursts through the deck, the crew of the battleships look in awe as one by one, the shark plows through their ships, devouring the crews with a seemlingly endless hunger.
Scarlet, now in full pirate garb, raps her fingers against the railing, and smiles.

Captain Fox turns his head at the ship blockade... his time to show what he had planned was soon coming, soon he would show them just why no one heard of his pirate ship or flag... He however was sad at seeing all those ships being sent to Davy Jones. "So many useful supplies ruined... I could have used some of those cannons or at least the cannon balls and the powder." He didn't like this part, but at least his ship was getting ready and he would finally see this shipwreck cove.
Suddenly three British soldiers climbed aboard and before anyone could shot them saluted captain Fox. He smiled as he approached the three men. "So... my three spies return... good. Now report."
"Your ships are on their way to shipwreck cove to meet us there... but I fear that our fourth friend got scared... or he was a turn coat, he already has meet with the enemy and revealed the location of shipwreck cove."
Captain Fox frowned. "I figured that one day someone would try to out fox me... no matter, you will get your rewards... and no I am not going to kill you, you are too valuable to me alive... now rest." He turned around, he smiled at how he would surprise those around when he showed just what he had been doing in his dens and other palaces of the sea... it wasn't what he wanted, but it would have to do.
"Captain, we are ready to sail." He turned and smiled. "Good, keep our sharp shooters picking off the British now that we have our spies aboard." Right away, men that were standing around started to fire their muskets into the charging ranks of the Royal Marines.

It would take the combined efforts of both Carribean and Chinese Pirates, but the Lilith, and a number of Chinese Pirate ships escape from Singapore and into open ocean as the beast dives down deeper, and the ship heads at full speed to Shipwreck Cove.
"Your a bold one, Scarlet, if you can get us to the island alive, you will have my respect," Ang says, finally speaking.
"We're looking at war, Ang," Scarlet says. "And if war is the only way to secure our future, then we'll have to have a Pirate King."

The Sea Fox was tailing Scarlet's ship. His sails had been ripped during the escape and so his speed had been cut down.... but he was not going to give up easily. He knew what would happen if he fell behind, and he didn't want that to happen to him, so he began to work on trying to gain speed again.
