Volume 2 - Canon's Test

Canon's Test
Act 1, Scene 1
Resumed after Canon and Imeda. The fleet of ships are headed to the mainland, when they are attacked by pirates.
Pirates: Yar, yar, yo ho!
A battle commences. Surprisingly, no canons are fired. The pirates board the Ameyura's ships, and somehow capture everyone, but Canon.
Canon (to self): What do I do now? *spots conveniently placed row boat* I couldn't... or could I? *thinks over decision, Sparrow's eyes are superimposed in the background, watching him, for dramatic effect*

Scene 2
Canon: What can I do to rescue them? Weirdly, the pirate ships are just sitting there. Before anything else, I need to arm myself. *looks around, and arms self* Next, I guess I need to find out where everyone is. *slips onto a pirate ship, knocking out sentinel* That was easy... *goes belowdecks*

Scene 3
Canon goes down a hall, and turns, where a pirate sees him. The pirate runs towards him, but when he turns around the corner, he is gone.
Pirate: I need to stop with the rum... *mumbles, walks off*
Canon: *drops down from ceiling* Whoa, that was fun. *sneakily follows pirate*
Pirate: Hey, Bill! *passing another pirate in the hall*
Bill: Hey, fella!
Pirate: Bill never remembers my name...that's what you get for being the captain's scribe.
Canon: *flattens against wall when Bill passes, and is unseen* Captain's scribe... that sounds good.
Pirate: *walks into captain's room* Here, captain! Yo ho!
Pirate Captain from Gekkou's Adventure: Good boy, uh... partner!
Pirate: No one knows my name! Ug- *is knocked out by Canon*
Captain: You knocked out my scribe! What's his name!
Canon: You captured my friends!
Captain: All's fair in love and war. You've been in love, right?
Canon: *rushes at Captain*
Captain: Definitely! *parries* Was she on one of the ships?
Canon: *intensifies assault*
Captain: I see. Is she between five and six foot?
Canon: Do you ever stop talking? *thwacks Captain*
Captain: Ouch!

Act 2, Scene 1
A small duel ensues between Canon and Captain.
Canon: *points* Do you see that?! It's your father's ghost!
Captain: *looks* Pa?! I got your message! I really liked the part where you said-
Canon: *defeats Captain*
Captain: *gasps* You tricked me! You jerk!
Canon: You captured my friends!
Captain: Ah, ah, ah, that's not really why. It's because of your lady friend... *winks*
Canon: *slaps Captain* Seriously, you need to stop talking.
Captain: Am I upsetting you? So sorry! *laughs*
Canon: *rolls eyes, pours ink all over Captain's maps*
Captain: Hey! That was very juvenile!
Canon: You're the one making fun of me! I'm not talking to you! *turns away from Captain*
Captain: Me neither! *turns away from Canon*

Scene 2
Sparrow: *Walks into room* What's going on here?!
Canon and Captain: Sparrow! (to each other) You know Sparrow?! Of course! Stop copying me!
Sparrow: Wow, you two are really hitting it off.
Canon and Captain: We are not! Ah! *slaps each other*
Sparrow: Wow. Ouch. Hey! Let's calm down! *gets slapped by both of them* Hey! *slaps both of them*
Canon and Captain: Hey! *slaps him back*
All: *slap each other, yelling*
Pirate: *walks in* Oh. I see you're busy. *walks out*

Scene 3
Canon, Sparrow, and Captain are done hitting each other. They are all nursing wounds.
Canon: How did you get out, Sparrow? Did you free yourself?
Sparrow: I was never really imprisoned.
Captain: I could have caught you if I wanted...
Sparrow: Shut up. You owed me. Besides, I beat the crap out of you that one time.
Captain: *sob*
Canon: What...
Sparrow: Let me clarify. This whole little adventure today was a test.
Canon and Captain: What?
Captain: I thought you just wanted to hang out!
Canon: How did I do?
Sparrow: You were awful. Go home, I don't want you.
All: …
Captain: That was cold.
Canon: *stunned*
Sparrow: *laughs* Just kidding, just kidding! You should have seen your face!
Canon and Captain: -_- not funny.
Sparrow: *wiping away a tear from laughing so hard* Anyways. Yeah, you did ok. I guess you did alright.
