Pirate101 Fan Fiction: Part 2

If you didn't read part one or need a refreshing of the mind, click on this text!

     Glass shattered from the side windows and everyone ducked. Thankfully, no one broke in from the glass roof! A Monquistan army invaded the room and their general stood before Governor Asia. "Let her go or we'll attack" the general ordered. Governor Asia sighed in relief and dropped a control with only one big red button. "As Governor, I always have back up. I just had to click that button and my boys came charging in. Thank you General Malmo"

     "Not anymore you're not" the General ordered and began to handcuff Governor Asia, much to Clever Amber Dove's pleasure.

     "So you're really here to stop her?" Clever Amber Dove hoped. But just as she feared, no one was getting away. He, just like any other Monquistan, wanted to overthrow the Governor.

     "Not so fast, missy! I'm Governor now and I decide to arrest all of you." Governor Malmo stated.
     Governor Asia grimaced. "I thought I actually had a chance! I was Governor for a whole 12 hours!" she threw her little arms into the air and began pounding her chest and making very disturbing monkey sounds.
     Stormy Alex immediately went into combat. He threw his javelin at Governor Malmo but the monkey quickly dodged it. He began flinging dirt at the pirates... at least, it looked like dirt...

     Dead-Eye Destiny Devereaux grabbed the bag Clever Amber Dove held on to and made a run for it.

     "Hey!" Clever Amber Dove yelled as she fought her way through the monkey army. "Give the gold back! It was a team's effort, we we're going to split that!"

     Dead-Eye Destiny Devereaux winked at her and said "Never trust a pirate, mate." Then she disappeared. She may have gotten away but Clever Amber Dove and Stormy Alex were still in battle and they were losing really badly. There were too many monkeys to handle, not that they knew how to battle well but they were so aggressive.. AND WHAT IS THAT SMELL?!

     And for the second time that day someone barged into the room. Except, they barged it through the glass roof! The fight stopped and people scattered and glass began to shatter down. After the glass stopped falling from the sky, a dark figure landed onto the center of the room.

     "Did I miss the show?" he said wickedly. When the pirate looked up, everyone could see it was Greedy Jacob Maxwell! He grinned as everyone stood in shock for he was the most bravest and daring pirate, with the most gruesome reputation. He never showed an ounce of mercy and he was a true Swashbuckler in battle. He was a project and was trained since he was a kid. Growing up on the streets, everyone knew him as little Jacob. Their younger annoying brother. He used to play tricks on everyone, but as he grew older his tricks became wilder.

     His last trick was played on Mr. Gandry. He told Monquistans of Gandry's location and they poured after him, dishonoring him ever since. He escaped that life for a reason, Monquistans were snobby. Gandry found the inner pirate in him after he found himself on Skull Island. Well, that's what the rumor mill says anyway. Boochbeard drove Greedy Jacob Maxwell away after that and he was never seen again. Now it's like he's back from the dead. His arrival could be either good or terribly, terribly bad. "Missed me?" he grinned evily.

     

New Pirate101 April Newsletter

Ahoy, pirates! KingsIsle released the April newsletter. The Rogue's Gallery this month spotlights one of the most piratical characters- Ratbeard. Also included are the Puppet Show quote winner, Books for the Cultured Pirates, and more sneak peaks; including a panorama of the explosive Fireship dock. To me it looks like a ship full of gelignite and fireworks that's docked at Skull Island. Isn't that some sort of safety hazard, Avery? Last and certainly not least, the newsletter highlights several fansites. As always, you can go check out the newsletter here: https://www.pirate101.com/free_game/newsletter/april2014
Pirates... UNITE!!

Ashford Journals- Part 10





Part 10:
Angela has found the Frogfather, and he will do her a favor for a favor. He asked her to break into a Monquistan fort, the Presidio, and steal the spices within. They sailed to the Prsidio and located Frogfather's scout, Sneaky Rufus, pointed Angela to the location of the spices. The crew quickly infiltrated the fort and located the spice room. The door to the spices was locked. As the crew turned around, they were ambushed by Monquistans! After that battle they had to fight their way to the barracks to find the key. After another battle with Monquistans, Angela meets Lucky Jack Russel, who claim he knows Angela and her parents. He explained that the keys are being held by the commander upstairs. After the comander was defeated and Jack was freed, Angela returned to the storehouse to find it teeming with Monquistans. Angela and crew, aided by Jack easily cleared the last of the Monquistans. Angela gathered the spice and returned to the Frogfather. He explained that he gave Ratbeard his word he would not betray Ratbeard if anyone came looking for him. He advised that One-Eyed Jack in Flotsam does owe him a favor and the Frogfather transferred the favor to Angela so she could use that favor to find Ratbeard. Jack joined Angela's crew. and as they prepared to depart, Frogfather explained that Angela's parents left their ship at his private docks and is giving it to her.... Will Angela find Jack? Will she catch Ratbeard? Where do the missing socks go? Stay tuned for the next installment of the Ashford Journals

General Tso....No not the Chicken! Ye' Hungry Hippos

 
General Tso, Chinese General (well that's redundant)
 
 
Ok ye' landlubbers, I finished my Level 65 Swashbuckler last week thanks to the great help of +Kelsey Fireheart in Aquila....which is pretty god hard in my opinion. And I mostly cant forget @JasonGCentral for PvP tips and companion/gear management! So yeah, Jason gave me like a million things to farm for from a million people, which seems pretty reasonable. Now I guess you're wondering, "GET ON WITH IT!" so I'm going to bore you with telling you what I'm farming for. :)
 
 
Friar Sand: Totem w/ Leviathan
 
Cadmus: Weapon....doh
 
Tyler: Ring w/ Assassin's Strike
 
Zeena: Charm w/ Sky Spirit
 
Doctor Noh, or some side quest boss for an Outfit with Assassin's Strike
 
All the rest of my gear is fine....THANKS OBAMA! 
 
Mhm....Yeah keep walking


So.....Where was I? Oh right! General Tso, really evil dude, pig, animal? We fight in some boring dungeon and it was hard and blah blah blah, I'll make a new pirate soon so these types of posts don't happen often! But in real life he was a help to China against rebellions, outbursts and drove back the Russians from Chinese borders (BOO TSO, YOU STINK!)
 
 
So here is his Pirate101 format from the Wiki:
 
Whoops, he's a cow not a pig, or is that a bull?

And then here's a supposed picture of him from the magical information highway called....*drumroll*......THE INTERNET!
 
What are you looking at?!?
Some quick facts about General Tso:
 
  • His real name is Zuo Zongtang
  • He was a Chinese statesman and military leader in the late Qing Dynasty.
  • He was born into a wealthy landowning family and obtained the second-highest academic degree awarded in the imperial civil service exams.
  • He failed the highest degree several times.
And how General Tso's Chicken came to be, remember we had to threaten his chicken in order to win the fight?
  • Tso wasn't much of a chicken guy, but a pork eater.
  • General Tso's Chicken was made to honor the sword skills of the imperial hero from the homeland, chopped up their chicken the way that Tso might have sliced and diced his enemies. (Theory 1)
  • or Chef Peng Chang-kuei made the spicy dish to commemorate the warrior from his hometown when he came to America and opened a restaurant in New York (Theory 2)
 
Well......Your Welcome for one of the most boring character to real life connection posts ever! YAY! Seriously....I'll try more character posts, maybe I'll try out some PvP.
 
 
What should my next class be? Musk, Priv, Witch, or Bucc? I'm kind of partial to Priv or Musk but I'm open to opinion.
 
Thanks for reading!

Best Mount Ever! The Mighty Steed April Fool's Day Mount

Ahoy, Pirates! Or shall I call you royal knights of Camelot? Camelot. Camelot. (It's just a model). That's right,  the April Fool's Day mount is a page right out of the classic period piece known as Monty Python and the Holy Grail! "It's just 2 coconuts you're banging together!" No it's not! This has got to be the most epic mount.... period. The African (or is it European?) swallows have gifted us with the most majestic steed ever. Kane will tremble in his mechanical boots at an army of pirates all mounted upon their mighty steeds! Go check out the page for it, you sons of window dressers:
https://www.pirate101.com/free_game/mighty_steed
 It's available until April 6th in the crown shop for 3,750 crowns. Now go buy one or I shall taunt you a second time. Pirates... NI!
