Sail Ho! Chapter 5

"Yo!" Sonja emerged unharmed. "Missin' somethin'?" Sonja twirled two swords with her hands.

"Wuh?" two marines grabbed at thin air.

"Sonja you're back!" Felix and Sage danced. Sonja slashed at the marines taking their swordsmen down.

"Missed me?" Sonja threw the swords behind her back. "Thanks for letting me borrow these ya guys!" Sonja sat down on a bench near a bystander.

"I told you no to use the sharp ends!" Sage chided at Sonja.

"She winked which means she wasn't listening sweetie," Felix looked longingly at Sage.

"Thanks," Sonja grabbed the bottle from which the man beside her was drinking.

"Hey!" the man tried to get it back. "That's mine!"

<p style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">"Talk to the hand," Sonja blocked the man with the flat of her hand and started drinking. "Well," Sonja wiped her chin. "What are you guys waiting for! I was here to watch fight! Now that I got refreshments why don't you start?!"

<p style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">"There's still more of us here!" one of the braver marines shouted.

<p style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">"Yeah we're not backing down!" more joined the first.

<p style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">"Give me that," the man took the bottle and put two straws in it. "Here we can share."

<p style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">"Crappy idiot as if I would!" but Sonja still drank from it using one of the straws. "Do I know you?" Felix, Jed and Sage sighed then rushed at the marines.

<p style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">"Who me?" the man asked sarcastically; in front of them a huge fight was brewing unusually the passersby didn't care. "Nah," the man slapped his knees.

<p style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">"No you like someone I know," Sonja took a sip; Jed threw his dagger at a marine, the dagger met its target.

<p style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">"I told you not to hurt them!" Sage screamed at Jed. Sage notched an arrow and aimed at a marine's leg the arrow pierced the marine's leg.

<p style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">"So?," Sonja asked for the second time. "Do you know me?"

<p style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">"But you just did sweetie!" Felix slashed at a marine.

<p style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">"I don't really think so," the man looked away. Sage shot a marine in the shoulders.

<p style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">"You're lying!" Sonja punched the man in the face and hit.

<p style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">"I don't think we need another fight," Jed dodged a bullet.

<p style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">"Seriously miss," the man caught Sonja's next punch. "I don't know you but you do remind me of someone like you only that you're much more gorgeous than her," while the man was reasoning out the fight with the marines was just starting to get more intense.

<p style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">"Wait a minute," Sage fired three arrows at once. "I think I know you."

<p style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">"I know you," Sonja kicked the man. "I'll prove it somehow," Sonja clenched her fists.

<p style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">"Miss," the man stood up and dusted himself off. "Please don't get mad it ruins your face."

<p style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">"I knew it!" Sonja and Sage said at the same time. "You're Dash Rodriguez!"

<span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">“The one and only!” Dash said proudly. “Wait a minute is that you Sonjie!” Dash held Sonja’s hands.

<span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">“Pathetic creep!” Sonja kicked him away. “I know exactly who I am, know your place for your own sake!”

<span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">“We have a fight to finish Sonja!” Sage called out.

<span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">“Great,” Sonja stepped towards them. “You’re done with calling me ‘Cap’n’.”

<span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">“Trying to drown me, eh?” Jhames emerged soaking wet. The marine that tried to help him was gone he probably drowned trying to save Jhames.

<span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">“Yo,” Sonja saluted him. “Ya had a great swim didn’t you?”

<span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">“We’ll leave it to you,” Sage, Felix and Jed said at the same time.

<span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">“Thanks,” Sonja waved at them. “The pleasure is mine,” Sonja curtsied before Jhames in a boyish way.

<span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">“No,” Jhames reloaded his gun. “It’s all mine,” he shot Sonja at her left shoulder.

<span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">“I got hit!” she braced her left shoulder. “Oh heavens! This has gotta be one of the happiest days of my life!”

<span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">“Sonjie!” Dash ran to Sonja and started fussing over her. “Are you hurt? Does it hurt anywhere?”

<span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">“I’m okay for crying out loud!” Sonja pushed Dash away. “Go away. It was just a bullet. And I love bullets.”

<span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">“But if he hurts you tell me,” Dash sat back on the bench.

<span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">“Over-protective boyfriend?” Jhames asked.

<span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">“He is so not my boyfriend!” Sonja shouted at Jhames.

<span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">“Well he looks like it,” Jhames glanced at Dash. Around them battle was unfolding.

<span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">“Is this a fight or what?” Sonja asked sarcastically.

<span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">“A fight,” Jhames jumped on the nearest marine ship. “Kill me if you can!”

<span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">“Scaredy-cat!” Sonja jumped after him. They jumped ship after ship.

<span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">“Awesome jumping power guys!” Dash shouted at them.

<span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">“Yo Jhames,” Sonja tossed him a lighted stick, which she got from her canister, after she caught up with him. “Catch.”

<span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">“What is this?” Jhames fumbled with the stick and studied it, a few seconds later he read: DYNAMITE.

<span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">“See ya in Davy Jones’ locker!” Sonja jumped off the ship.

<span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">“That’s the oldest trick in the book,” Jhames looked around and saw gunpowder scattered everywhere, somehow she must’ve done it without him noticing. “How did I fall for it?”

<span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">“Sonja the marines have been knocked-out,” Dash reported breathlessly, when Sonja jumped down from the ship.

<span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">“Okay,” Sonja. “But you didn’t fight did-,” Sonja was cut off when the ship behind her exploded then a chain-link reaction happened all the other marine ships too exploded.

<span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">“Wow,” Sage said as she took some money out of an unconscious marine’s pocket. “That’s a work of art.”

<span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">“Why thanks,” Sonja walked towards the people who were watching the fight. “’Scuze me. Comin’ through. You shouldn’t poke knives at other people lil’ kid,” Sonja ruffled the hair of a small guy who was threatening a younger kid with a knife.

<span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">“Hey where’s Sonja?” Jed noticed that Sonja wasn’t with them.

<span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">“Maybe she checked for cool ships docked here,” Felix suggested.

<span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">“Sonjie!” Dash called out. “I see a tuft of blonde hair! That’s Sonja over there!”

<span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">“It’s a dog creep!” Sage hit Dash’s head. Dash was pointing at a golden retriever.

<span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">“Well that sucked where is she?” Jed slung his bag over his shoulder.

<span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">“Check out the docks I told you,” Felix said once more. “She has got to be there!”

<span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">“Fine but if she isn’t,” Sage mimicked slicing off her head with a knife. Felix shrugged.....
