Aria throws Lucas overboard. [END]

Aria dragged the rich man’s son into the water. He floated lifelessly as the boat motored on. While he was still in view, Aria rushed over to his men and told them that Lucas had fallen overboard. They turned the boat around to pick him up.

One of the men dove in while the other stood by and the deck. With his back turned, Aria pulled out the gun from the onboard guard’s back and kicked him into the water before he could react. She drew the gun on the men, ordering them to board the tethered schooner. While they did, she untethered the nonfunctional boat and drove the yacht away. At a distance she felt was safe, she radioed for Sebas to move in.

Sebas was close behind, coming in on his pontoon. His men took control of the boat and gathered the former crew to hold prisoner.

“I have to say, this is some impressive work!” Sebas commended. “Efficient and clean, you may be cut out for pirate life after all!”

“Well, it helped that the guy was a sucker,” Aria admitted, scoffing at her mark.

“Still, you single handedly captured a ship, who else does something like that but a pirate?” Sebas asked. “Think about it, high seas, no one to call your shots but you…”

The more she thought about it, the more she liked the notion of joining the ranks of Sebas’ crew. She decided to give it a try and see where it took her.

They sold the yacht, ransomed the son, sold off the girls and dumped the guards. In their celebration, back at the cove, Aria imbibed a bit too much and became an aggressive drunk. She found her way into Sebas’ room and seduced him. The two screwed all night long until they woke up hungover, sore and Aria wearing Sebas’ clothing. Sebas made her his first mate in more ways than one that day.

Their pirate notoriety shot up as they started working together. Aria would use the same ‘stranded’ tactic to capture more ships. She also came up with a tourist scheme to swindle rich visitors into buying into a timeshare for deserted islands. They would never be able to find the island. In time, her reputation became known in the Eastern seas, so she moved on to other waters, forming her own crew. They swindled unsuspecting men that went hard for her body, then spent their ill gotten gains on lavish living. Eventually Aria would be renown as the notorious pirate queen, the sexy privateer that was easy on the eyes but hard on the wallet. She settled in a secluded island of her own, the head of her own criminal empire.
