There's no hope

"Uggggh" I groan as I stretch after waking up. "What time is it?" I ask myself looking outside it looks around 7 maybe 7:30. I stumble out of the guest room in Ruby's home half awake and see the front door wide open. People are rushing past the door some running to something or running away.

I walk outside and follow a couple people walking down the sidewalk. We reach the harbor where people are standing looking at something. I push my way past some people and see Johan standing there half his face covered in blood.

I see Ruby trying to put gauze on Johan's face but he keeps pushing her arm away.

Johan walks over to me and crouches down holding my shoulders.

"Run James. Run as far away from here as you can. It's not safe here the black ship followed us and ambushed me when I was going back to the island. James you have to leave here right now." Johan says before finally letting Ruby bandage him up.

"What happened to you?" She asks.

"That doesn't matter what matters is all of you leave this place right now with your valuables before Vex gets here. I banged his ship up as best I could and made sure to set it on fire in places where it'll be hard for him to put out."

"YOU LED CAPTAIN VEX HERE WITH HIS PIRATES!" Some old man yells.

"YEAH, NOW WE'RE ALL DEAD, IT WAS A TRAP!" People scream scrambling to their homes.

"THERE HERE!" A man screams. "ARM YOURSELVES VEX IS HERE!" He screams again running around flailing his arms and banging on peoples doors.

*BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM*

Cannons fire all at once and the town is ripped apart. The old man's head is blown off and his headless body flops to the ground bleeding immensely. Ruby screams and falls to the ground holding her ears and closing her eyes. More cannons fire, one second Ruby was there the next a pink mist blows in front of me and Ruby disappears.

"RUBY!" I scream.

"HAHAHAHAHA!" Someone laughs I assume it's Vex because who can laugh in this except for the person causing the chaos. "JOHAN WHERE ARE YOU? I KNOW YOU'RE HERE!" Vex yells.

"What do you want Vex? You have no reason to destroy this peaceful and unarmed town." Johan says calmly.

"My reason is you haven't come back. I've obliterated everywhere you've been no one was left alive and I finally caught up to you. "

"I'm not coming back to your crew."

'Johan was in Vex's pirate crew? And everywhere he's been has been destroyed?' I think.

"Well fine one word Johan. ONE WORD AND THIS PLACE IS DESTROYED!" Vex yells.

"WHAT IS THERE LEFT TO DESTROY!?" Johan screams throwing his arms up and looking around.

"Well then in that case you won't care if I blow this entire damn island off the map." Vex says, Johan's hands start to smoke up before being engulfed in flames. Johan puts his hands together and thrusts them like a spear at Vex's ship. A huge fireball goes flying from Johan's hands and blows up the front of Vex's ship.

"HOW DARE YOU ATTACK MY SHIP! MEN FIRE EVERYTHING!"

*BOOM BOOM BOOM* Cannons fire putting craters everywhere. Johan runs over and grabs me before flying away.

I look back and all I can see is smoke and fireballs.

"James I'm sorry but it's too dangerous for me to be with you anymore. The next village we come to I'm leaving you there and I'm going to stop Vex. Don't try and change my mind it won't happen I'm getting you as far away from me as I can. If I can't stop Vex which I will, he'll come after you so you have got to leave the village we stop at I don't care how you do it whether you steal a boat or board a ship coming in just get out of there, understand?" Johan says in the most nice and caring voice I've ever heard in speak in.

"NO!" I scream. "NO I ALREADY LOST MOM!" I keep screaming tears are starting to pool in my eyes before dripping out and flying across my face.

"James it'll be ok I'm going to come back to find you I promise."
