Tyler shook his head, "You can't be over fifty-- I suppose you could be sixty...but certainly not that much older. If I had to guess, I would put you at I don't know....35?" He thought he had given the Doctor plenty of leeway, saying that he couldn't be older than sixty.
"I haven't done much fighting myself -- not really -- though I would have been forced had my master's home been attacked. Death is just part of life, sir...we all have to do it someday."
Tyler thought a moment at the Doctor's question and then finally nodded. "Yes....I think so...but I was very young...I don't remember the details." The memory that Tyler tried to access was old, but Tyler couldn't quite remember what had happened.
"It was horrible...he must have been another slave...."

Blackbeard was in his glory. His men had thoroughly cowed the other crew on the pursued ship into giving up without a cannon being fired from their threats, shouts and exploding gernades. The captain thought it best for his crew not to put up a fight, especially when the pirates happened to be the crew of Blackbeard! The grappling hooks took hold, the ships were now alongside each other and the conquered vessel boarded. The pirate leader stood on the railings, one great booted foot on his own ship and the other on his new conquest, glowering down at the group of terrified sailors gathered at the stern.
"Aye, ye'd best be givin' up on all valuables, if ye know what's good fer ye! Hidin' trinkets ain't worth yer life, ye can always go out and get more. Which we will obligingly return and remove ye of it! once more!" He waved his cutlass in the face of the nearest man. "So, I see ye be the capn of this fair ship. Anything we should know about afore we goes below? Any special treats?" The point of the short sword waved back and forth as if cutting the man's throat over and over again. To his credit, the man looked straight into Blackbeard's face, although it was clear he was shaken.
"I am Captain Charles Almond and this is His Majesty's Ship Bountiful! We have no cargo other than barrels of molasses and cotton!"
"That be so, eh?" Blackbeard used his own cutlass to scratch his cheek as if in thought. "Ye wouldn't be lyin' to ol' Blackbeard now, would ye, Capn Almond? I dislikes bein' lied to. People what lies to me end up dancing the gut dance, they do!"
Captain Almond swallowed hard but he still held his head high. "M-molasses and cotton. Th-that's all we have on board. I have a f-few gold coins in my cabin but that's about it."
"Well then, what be ye waitin' fer?" Blackbeard bent low over him, keeping his balance by grasping a rope above him. "Go and get them! And look sharp too!"
Poor Captain Almond scambled so fast to obey Blackbeard's command that his feet tangled with some rope and he fell flat on his face. This provided the pirates with a great deal of mirth. "Hey Capn!" one of them shouted. "This bloke would make a great jester! Shall we keeps him?"
"Now there be an idea!" Blackbread grinned. "All right ye lubbers! Load up all the barrels and bales ye can! Then ye can go." This was said almost gently to the other captives. "But I fear yer capn's be goin' to stay with us a spell!"

Dan had decided he was going to slink of to his time ship the one that was hooked alongside boat he was confident no one but the Time lord could see it he did not care he kept a tight security lock on it, so no one could get in not one bit. Dan had no idea of what was going on outside as we was busy collecting a few things. He quickly picked up two devices and made his way back onto the ship to find another ship along side.
Deciding not to get involved Dan had a great idea quickly taking one of his devices he turned it onto a nearby pirate registering his DNA pattern into it he quickly slipped behind something turning it onto his self turning him into the pirate it was not perfect but enough.
He sighed satisfied but now he had to do something dangerous but it would be fun and more of a distraction, the fact there was another ship helped this, he took his other device taking a small round orb out of it and sent it flying near to the middle of the deck, he knew it would explode in a few seconds, at the same time he took his time displacer read the captain of the other boats time stream and a relief came over him now the fun began. He turned the gun on him set it up to high and fired and then slipped inside, changing his appearance just a little. He chuckled and grinned.
He heard the explosion on the deck and then walked on heading for the doctor's Tardis. He got halfway there when he noticed the Doctor and Tyler he grinned to himself then walked up to them.
"Ahoy there Doctor Capitan Blackbeard be wantin ya up top sharp," he waited there for a second looking at the both of them, hopefully he would go without Tyler if he went with then he could just try shoot Tyler in the back.

(Yay!!! The Time Pirate's back!!  ) "Probably wants me to patch up some poor souls so they can go back to slicing each other up again." the Doctor sighed. "That means I'll have to wade through all that to get my medical bag. Hopefully some pirate won't slip and end up with his cutlass going in my direction." (Not much but my brains' stuck in another gear:( ) |

Tyler glanced from the Doctor to the "pirate" who had just spoken, speaking of needing the Doctor's attention. Growing slightly nervous, Tyler realized that he hadn't been mentioned. Maybe Blackbeard only wanted the Doctor.
Nervously, he asked the pirate, "Just the Doctor, or did he want to see me, too?"
He didn't want to disobey orders, so he would only come with the Doctor if either invited by him or if the pirate had indicated that he wanted both of them.

This was perfect for Dan it was going very well he should be able to get the Doctor out of the way and he would Tyler to himself.
"Just be the Doctor Lad," he nodded at the doctor at what he had said and then waited to see what was going to happen. He knew the guise had worked but as soon as the Doctor was gone and Tyler relaxed he would reveal himself.

The Doctor hesitated. "Well, you -are- my assistant, after all. Could be the first thing Blackbeard would say when I walk up is 'And where be yer assistant? He's scared of blood, is he?'" The Doctor did his best to imitate the low heavy growl of the captain. "Not sure what he does to people with Hematophobia so perhaps you'd best come with me, even if it's only to carry the bag." (Sorry Dan, just thinking logical here.  ) |

Tyler nodded at the Doctor, "Well, then I'll come with you. If I'm not needed, then I can always wait outside the door....."
His face slightly relaxed at the thought of not being separated from the Doctor. He still had that jewel and the watch in his pockets. Since they hadn't been able to reach the TARDIS due to Blackbeard wanting to speak with the Doctor, he really didn't like the thought of being all alone on the ship. At least with the Doctor, he had companionship.

It was just as bad as the Doctor had feared. The fighting had stopped but there was blood on the deck, jagged bits of wood flung from the explosions littering the area, ropes hanging down seemingly just to trip anyone walking near and the moans of pirate wounded lying where they fell. The Doctor had a grim look on his face as he made his way to Blackbeard.
"All right, I'm here, Captain. I suppose you want me to start healing your crew."
"Huh?" Blackbeard ceased his enjoyment of terrorizing the crew of the fallen ship to glower down at the Time Lord. "Eh? What ye say? Couldn't ye wait until we get a bit o'this cleared away and the booty sent down below? Yer an eager one, Doctor!"
"Now wait, it was YOU who sent for ME. Didn't you? You sent a crewman to give me the orders."
"I sent no crew fer ye, been busy with me work, as ye can see." Blackbeard jiggled a leather bag he held in one great paw. The unmistakable jingle of metal sounded from within. "Ye'll get yer share when all is smooth sailing again."
"But you did......ah wait...if you didn't then......" The Doctor paused and gazed around and behind him. "Tyler? Tyler!"

Tyler had followed after the Doctor, but had been distracted by a few scratch marks on the side of the wall. Stopping to take a look, he 'd somehow fallen behind. Realizing his mistake, he sought to catch up with the Doctor, hoping that he'd reach him in time. He wouldn't want Blackbeard to be angry with him.

Dan noticed Tyler was slower than the doctor and seemed to have fallen behind considerably this was much better than he could of hoped he had the boy once again by himself. Flicking his gun into his hand he sent at least 3 blasts at Tyler, once they had finished he was not actually sure what setting it was on knock-out or stun, if it was stun the boy would well not be able to talk or move, he would be able to see.
Walking up to the boy still in his guise he moved him to one of the nearby rooms, once in he shut the door and locked it (it be a wooden door). He waited for the boy to come around again or at least be able to speak before doing anything. Once he was around he turned back to his original form putting the device away.

An unexpected shot came from behind. Since Tyler wasn't expecting an attack from anyone, he hadn't been prepared for this shot. As the first shot hit him, he slumped over onto the floor, unaware of any other shots that might have hit his body. Being unconscious, he had no knowledge of being dragged away to another room.
However, the presence in the watch wasn't affected by the shots, the Hunter being fully aware of what was going on around him. The Hunter remained quiet, though, wanting to protect himself, and yet worried about the human self. He listened carefully from inside the pocket watch, wishing that Tyler's pockets were Time Lord pockets, bigger on the inside. If he could make the watch move, he would have dug himself further into the pocket.
Tyler slowly came around, glaring when he saw the space pirate. At least one thing was positive. Tyler no longer had the Doctor's key. With that relief, he stared at Dan, a frown on his face.

(But the fight is over, the other ship surrendered. Blackbeard and his crew are now unloading the goods onto their own ship.)
The Doctor retraced his steps, looking worriedly about. He was certain Tyler had been right behind him as he strode onto the deck, could he have been accidently killed by one of the pirates and his body tossed overboard? With the explosions and yells going on before he recieved the false message there was no telling one from another.
The Doctor couldn't make a very thorough search as pirates loaded down with bags, bales and handfuls of goods kept rushing past and shouldering him aside. The time Lord prided himself on keeping a cool head most of the time but his patience was beginning to fray. At one last shove he shoved right back and sent the man sprawling to the deck. Pewter and gold cups clattered along the boards and the man glared up at him with one glittering eye.
"I'll have yer gizzard out fer that!" he snarled as he leapt to his feet. Whipping out his cutlas he advanced on the Doctor.
Weaponless, all the Doctor could do was back away. "Now see here, my good man, you shoved me without a mention of apology so I merely returned the favor!"
The man was past reason as he lunged forward.

Tyler, now awake, glanced at the space pirate. "Hey...what do you want from me?"
He was still somewhat dazed from what happened. It was then that he remembered he was on a pirate ship, and that he was separated from his only friend aboard - the Doctor.
"Where's the Doctor?" He tried to look around to see if he could spot the man.
(I assume you have him tied up or restrained in some fashion. Let me know what the gun setting was on, so that I know what I can and can't have Tyler do right now)

(Ok and Ten well he can't move that's all really apart from head turning if thats ok with you, he is tied up for extra potection)
Dan watched for a few seconds thinking to himself before actually noticing that Tyler was even talking. Getting up from where he was sitting he calmly walked in front of Tyler.
"I actually have no idea where the Time lord is unfortunately apart from the fact he is most likely above deck, and I may need your help in getting him though."
He took some device out of his pocket and was just about to strap it to Tyler's wrist when his device on his eye (the eyepatch) bleeped loudly causing him to jump. He looked around with it annoyed trying to find what was causing it, it finally rested on Tyler, he had no idea what he had but the realising came up as valuable it must be hidden as he had no proper reading.
"What's in your pockets?" he decided not to turn them out himself just encase, it would also be a while before the effect of the shot wore off.
"OK we will forget about that for a second, until you can move a little, now your going to do em a favour and call the doctor. He took the device from his pocket once again typed in doctor and strapped it to Tyler's wrist it would send and holographic image to the Doctor, it would work better with Tyler thinking about the Doctor.
