At the age of sixteen Mockshah joined a band of pirates against the wishes of the IGA's highest authority who wanted him to act as a prince. He had shown skills, prowess, and wisdom that he could not show on his home planet. Yet the sense and urge for adventure flowed in his veins when he was off world or allowed to anyways. Thus pushing him towards piracy, crusading, and going on wild adventures the IGA labeled as useful. Seldom did he enter the battlefield against the mutants of the MOR. As one of Bob's squires he was supposed to be at his side. For weapon of choice he chose the bow and arrow and for melee, a variety of weapons. It was close to winter when he met Black Kat a legendary Pirate Lord who commanded an army and fleet of pirates. She saw him as a potential successor or future Pirate Lord to add to their diminished court of four.
Aboard her famous ship were one hundred and sixty-nine pirates ready to launch a raid on a cruise liner. Black Kat brought Mockshah along for the fun of raiding and plundering. This cruise liner was said to be filled with no more than nine hundred passengers and little units of guards. Half the passengers were nobles. It was the best kind of target to plunder. Young Mockshah was ready to board the ship as the Captain flew them towards the starboard side. In moments their attack commenced and more than a hundred pirates boarded the cruise ship from above. Such an attack took the crew and passengers by surprise. Almost no shots had to be fired as the people ran amuck screaming with fear.
Mockshah took down a few guards without killing them. He was against doing that since it was raid not a slaughter. Passengers and crew were rounded up and tied up. All their gold, money, currency, valuables, and treasures were handed over. No more than thirty were sent to hunt down the rest of the passengers. He joined this group so he could sneak up on unsuspecting passengers who hid in their cabins. He turned it into a game to pass the time easier. Capturing people like this became enjoyable to him and his crew mates who wanted no one underneath the first deck. All the passengers and crew members were required to be above the other decks. So about thirty at a time they dragged people who soiled themselves all the way up to the rest of the people. Mockshah was then sent to find the princess whom was assumed to only trust a human's face and not some scary humanoid monster like the crew.
He only shrugged his shoulders and went hunting for her. There was not a single bad intention in Mockshah's heart as he searched for this princess in her cabin. This cabin was the size of a chamber in a castle and built like a labyrinth. He searched for ten minutes before someone hit him in the back of the head with what looked like thick book with a cartoon woman on it. Getting up he saw a very cute princess who was developing early. She wore a costume of some sorts that appeared oriental in fashion.
"That hurt." he said rubbing his head.
"You are a pirate!" she snapped at him. She raised the book up again to hit when someone else snatched it from behind. Both teens looked up to see a very tired and grouchy Sir Bob Denson. The boy froze with fear at the sight of his mentor, teacher, and master knight. All Bob did was grab Mockshah by the shirt, lifted him up so their nose could touch. Bob was in no mood for excuses.
"WHAT are you doing with PIRATES??" Bob barked at the young Mockshah. The young pirate and squire at the time soiled his pants. Words escaped him as his eyes grew wide with fear. He knew just how screwed he was at this very moment.
"Every night you are scheduled to be with me or a member of the IGA! Where did you go?" Bob pointed out furious with him. The princess stuck her tongue out and mocked him for being in trouble. He had to explain himself fast otherwise Bob would throw him in with the Black Coats and those were the last people he should march with.
"It was all Black Kat's fault! She snagged me up and had me join her crew for a raid!" he blurted out with his heart pumping. All he heard was the laughter of the princess making fun of him soiling his pants. Not even bothering to check the Princess or other nobles Bob carried a soiled Mockshah over to the first deck.
When the pirates saw Bob they froze, shot themselves, or ran for their lives. No one messed with Bob Denson. It was a death wish if you even messed with him or insulted him behind his back. A reputation like that reminded Mockshah of how warriors were in the Dark Ages and Medieval Times. Even before Biblical times on his world there were people such a reputation. As the huge Knight and Champion carried his squire up to the first deck not a single pirate blocked his path. They scattered like rats getting cornered. No one wanted to fight Bob Denson who was enjoying a nap when all this occurred. Behind them the Princess marched up with him holding her head high with pride and power.
"Black Kat you are under arrest! As Princess Eva of the Atlantean Court I sentence you to three years of imprisonment!" the princess said with gusto.
"Wait you are Princess Eva?" Mockshah asked then started to smirk and laugh at her.
"Who are you supposed to be?" he asked her as a hint of laughter escaped his lips.
"Boy I will throw you!"
"Yes sir! I will shut up!" Mockshah said feeling the words grapple him.
Bob cornered Black Kat who held up her cutlass against his chest ready to fight to the end. She looked at him then at Mockshah before deciding what to do. Thinking fast she jumped up did a back flip and hand somersaulted off the ship. She left her crew, loot, and possible successor at the hands of former buccaneer Bob Denson. Denson dropped Mockshah and released two servants.
"Clean him up and dress him in something suitable. He is going to be punished for this!" Denson ordered.
"Like what-" Bob cut him off with a finger pointed at him and a very angry glare. Mockshah was cleaned up and dressed in what appeared to be a prison jumpsuit. His ankles were shackled and he was forced to calculate every sent and money that went to the Princess's university tuition. Because he would not be rewarded all the money he would earn until age 30 he had to roll up and calculate a portion of that income to pay for Eva's college tuition.
