Nekoloids Ch 6: Pirates and Cats

"Ash I have a new idea we need to try NOW!" I yelled taking the Treasure Island plush from England.

"We need Treasure Island." I told her seriously.

Ash looks at me with a really confused face.

"Wha?" she asks. "So why Treasure Island all of a sudden."

"Arrh, are ye the sorceress me crew has told me about?" England asks, approaching her.

"Sorceress? Crew? Okay, what fresh Hell is going on?" Ash asks, with a blank look on her face.

"Iggy went Pirate on us." I told her bluntly, but still smiling a Chester cat.

"Pirate England huh? interesting....." Ash mumbles, scribbling more in her notebook. "Alright, come in. Would any of you like anything to drink?" Ash asks.

"What's going on?" America asks, wearing a frilly apron and bright yellow kitchen gloves, holding a sponge and a dirty plate.

"England's gone pirate on us." Ash replies.

"Oh my Ra." I muttered holding back chuckles as I saw America in that apron, for more than one reason.

"What bet did you lose?" I asked him, amused.

America turns a dark shade of red and pouts a little. "I....made fun of Ash....So she threw dish washing on me. We have a dish washer!" he exclaims.

"I know. But this is more entertaining." Ash replies, pouring some iced tea for everyone.

"Arrh, ye got any rum?" England asks, still in pirate mode.

"I uh......don't drink.....bad things happen." Ash mumbles, serving us the beverage.

"Ay, why is the rum always gone." I muttered, impersonating Jack Sparrow.

"Thanks' Ashy."  Thank ash for the drink, the roll of duck tape around my arm.

"No problem. So, anyway about your idea. What will Treasure Island look like?" Ash asks, taking out a pencil and a sketch pad. "I have a sewing machine in the back, so I can also sew a few things."

I took out one of my trusty flash drives from the chain that was attached to my wallet and handed it over to her.

"Here, just type in Treasure island and you'll find lots of reference material. Leave the sewing to me." I told her happily.

Ash takes the flash drive and grabs her laptop. Typing in "Treasure Island, she skims through the references capturing each word* "Interesting..." She mumbles. "Well then Yami, when would you like to work on your first Hetaloid?" she asks, grinning.

"Now?" I asked her innocently.

"Sure, we can start now." Ash says, grabbing her keys* "I'll drive this time, since you drove last." She adds, heading to the parking garage. She heads to her small red pontiac, and unlocks both sides. "I'm glad we're neighbors. I was worried about how I'm going to do all of this on my own." She says, heading to the campus.

"Yeah, I don't think America would be a very good assistant, maybe Germany, but I'm not sure." I told her as we drove. Having given Canada the Duct tape in case England got a little too rowdy or America wouldn't shut up.

We arrive on campus soon as we showed the security guard our ID's. Ash led me back to the science lab and handed me a lab coat. "I'll help you get started." Ash says, showing me where the parts for the exoskeleton is.

"Okei donki woki." I happy said, imitating Pinkie Pie.

Ash gave me a weird look and twitched at the MLP reference. I guess she's not fond of adorable talking ponies. "Uh...right...well, the exoskeleton shouldn't bee too difficult for you to put together." She says, taking out what looks like a robotic skeletal hand. "It's like putting pieces of a puzzle together. Attaching the synthetic organs and veins is quite a challenge though." She adds, showing me what looks like a realistic heart and brain.

Grin, giving a small snicker at the ideas that came into my brain. I could hear America's screams already.

"All righty." Then I help her attach them to the skeleton

As the exoskeleton is almost finished, Ash walks over to one of the tables, and grabs a couple boxes. "Soon as we get the organs in, I have some synthetic skin. The hair almost real as well." She says. "Let me know when you're ready to program the brain."

"Hn." I respond as I worked on Pirate Island, boy was England in for a big surprise. As we programmed all the information into the brain, Ash showed me how to attach the organs. "Here, give the heart a bit of a poke." Ash says, chuckling. "It feels weird."

"Kay." I poked the heart unsurely.

The heart jiggled a bit, as it continued a steady heartbeat. As we attached the brain and the eyes, Ash showed me how to pull the synthetic skin onto the exoskeleton without tearing it. Lastly, we added the hair.

"Okay, all we need to do is attach these wires, here and here." Ash says, pointing to where the wires go. "After that, we just charger her up, and she'll be moving and talking in no time."

I grinned, as I pulled the synthetic skin onto the exoskeleton carefully and then attached the wires

"Our creation is almost complete Mater." I grinned, happy that Treasure Island was almost ready.

Ash grinned back, and chuckled. "Well then, would you like to press the button then?" she asks, pointing to a large red button on the panel. "a good three minutes will do."

"Si!" I happy went over and pressed the button.

We watched as the charger made a rumbling sound, and jolts of electricity flashed, along with a few sparks. Ash focused on the meter that was turning from red to green. "Okay, cut the power!" she says.

Turning off the generator, we approach Treasure Island to see if she wakes up.

Slowly, ocean blue eyes slowly opened, blinking in confusion.

"She's alive! She's alive" I yelled happy before the Greek sat up slowly and looked at us in confusion.

"Ye have a lot of energy there lass." Pirate Island said as she got off the table, but she was not yet clothed.

Ash's face turned a deep shade of red. Looking away, she rummages through a bag of clothes she brought with her. she takes out a spaghetti strap sea foam colored tank top, and a long flowy tropical forest green skirt, and leather strap sandals. Ash decided to just leave the room until she got dressed.

"All right lassies, care to tell me why I'm here?" Pirate Island asked, having gotten dressed, crossing her arms, but then I noticed something filmier in her hand. I felt my waist for them but they were gone.

Well there's a reason she's Pirate Island.

Ash walks back in, seeing that Pirate Island is dressed. "Well Yami, would you care to explain to our new guest?" She asks, pushing up her glasses.

"Yeah. Well the reason you're here Para is that we're having a little trouble with a British pirate that you may be interested in." I said. And Para lifted an eye brow.

"Go on."

"I hear he's given you trouble before, calming himself to be the best pirate in the seven seas." I told her and Para narrowed her eyes.

"Where is this sea barnacle that clams my oceans?" she asked, sounding angry.
Ash jumped, a bit startled by Pirate Island's anger. "Well... He's at my place. We'll take you to him." She says, hoping that her apartment hasn't been damaged by the american and the Brit that's now in pirate mode. "let me get my keys."

~~~~

I kept an eye on Pirate Island who still had my knives. I didn't think it would be good if Ash knew about them

Ash grabs her keys, and drives us back to her house. She stayed silent during the entire car ride. She must be intimidated by Pirate Island. As soon as we got to her apartment, she unlocks the door to find America duct taped to the ceiling, and England to the chair, with tape over his mouth. Canada sat down on the couch, content with his work, as he was watching the hockey game on t.v.

"What....the.....hell?" Ash says, shocked

"Nice work Canada." I grinned admiring the Canadians handy work.

Pirate Island came in and looked at the three blonds.

"Which one is he?" she asked and I pointed to the duct taped England.

Ash looks at the three, and turns her attention to America who is still duct taped to the ceiling. "How the......I don't want to know." We watch as Pirate Island approaches the bushy browed Brit, who was struggling and cursing, though it only came out as muffled sounds.

Pirate Island walked up to England a sinister grin on her face, bending down slightly and grabbed his chin to make him look at her. Her smirk promising slow and agonizing pain to the island nation.

"You're the one who climes to rule the 7 seas?" she purred before ripping the tape over his mouth none too gently off his mouth.

England yelps as the tape is yanked off his face, leaving a large red mark around his mouth. "AUGH! that hurt you sea wench!!" England yells.

Pirate Island shoved her right knee in between England's legs and into Big Ben as her face was just inches away from his face, one of my knives pressed agents his adams apple. "That's Captain Pirate Island, you sea barnacle. I'll teach you who truly rules the oceans." She purrs the last part into England's ear.

That was a sign to stop paying attention as I went to watch the hockey game with Canada.
Ash watched as Britain's face went pale, and his eyes go wide as golf balls. Screaming as if he saw a bloody murder, and passes out, as he foams from the mouth. America, still taped to the ceiling watched with horror and cringe, as if he too was kicked there.

"O-oh my..." was all Ash could say.

"As for you lass." Pirate Island says, looking over at Ash. "Bring me some rum, right away!"

"Y-yes ma'am!" Ash says, making a dash to the 24 hour mart.

"Wow, I didn't think England's voice could go that high." I muttred and looked at Pirate island who pouted at not having the chance to use my knives.

"Can you cut him down from there, Pirate Island, please." I asked her. She smirked before throwing two of them and cutting the nation down, making him fall to the floor with a loud bang.

"Here you go Lass. You have fine taste in weaponry." She told me, handing back my knives plus the two she threw.

"Thanks." I smiled happily at her and sat with Canada to watch the Hockey game.

"So what's happened so far?" I asked him, not too sure about the sport I have only ever seen once.

Canada smiles and explains what is going on, as well as teaching me a few things about hockey.

"I'm back..." Ash says, walking in with a bag of rum. She heads to the kitchen and grabs a glass, pouring the amber colored liquid for Pirate Island. "Here's your rum." She says, handing her the glass. Plopping down on her seat, she notices America on the floor looking like he's planking. "You okay America?" She asks, as she pokes him with her foot.

"Thank you." Pirate Island give her a smile before turning back to studying England, mostly looking at his eye brows as she drinks her rum, her bronze skin hiding a pink blush.

America jumps for a moment and suddenly glomps Ash. "Dude, Canada just suddenly taped us soon as you and Yami left!!" America yells.

"Damn it America, enough with the touching!!!" Ash yells, wiggling out of his grasp. "What did you do to make Canada tape you to the ceiling?!"

"He bothered me during the game." Canada says casually. Ash sighs and rubs her Temples. "America, everyone knows you don't bother a Canadian when a hockey game is on. Turning to Pirate Island she smiles nervously, "Would you like anything else? You're a guest now, so don't hesitate to request anything."

"A cat would be nice about now." Pirate Island muttered as she ran her thumb across one of England's bushy eye brows.

"Mew~" a little black and gray kitten mewed from behind Ash.

Ash looks down, at the small kitten, while England is being sexually harassed by the new Hetaloid. Picking the kitten up she looks at it and smiles. "Well, that was easy." She says. "How about this one?" She asks Pirate Island, holding the kitten still.

"Oooh, this one is adorably fuzzy!" Pirate Island gushed happily taking the kitten, as it purred in the pirate's arms. Enjoying the petting and scratching.

"Meow~" came another cat that was rubbing up agents Pirate island's legs, also wanted to be petted.

"Ash?" I looked at her worriedly.

"Did you give her all of her traits?" I asked fearfully. I had for gotten Pirate island was also a...

"Meow~" came a other cat appearing passing by America and Ash.

"uh....y-yea....why?" Ash replies, worriedly. America picks up one of the cats, and pets it gently, making the cat purr.

"M-Maple!!!" Canada yelps as a few more cats walk in.

"Yami... is there something you didn't tell me about?" Ash asks as a large swarm of cats rush into the apartment. there are cats everywhere, from adult cats to kittens, some sat on the television, and others somewhere in the apartment.

I laughed nervously.

"Pirate Island is Greek." I told her plainly.

"NOW YOU TELL ME?!" Ash asks, as a few cats are on her lap and one on her head. "We have to do something about these cats. My apartment is not a pet shelter!" she says, as she gets the number for Angels for Animals.

"Sorry." I muttered as I pet some of the cats, studying their bodies as reference for the Nekoloids. All the while Para was enjoying the kitties.
