Chapter 2
Assault on the Quarry
As Ships sailed through the Leeward Passage Heading for Padres Del Fuego readying for their 1st Attack on the Navy. The Pirates had suggested they start lower like Fort Charles or Fort Dundee, but Captain Swash said Becketts Quarry is where they will Invade 1st. Some of the pirates asked why but he told them “The bigger we start the bigger a threat they will think of us”. So they loaded up the boats and set out for Padres. As they approached land the Captain said load up the Dinghy’s and Prepare to Invade. When they got to land all the saw was the Erupting volcano. “Follow me and stay hidden” Swash said. When they entered the Quarry the saw miners in the cave and the Navy had guns to their backs as they worked. As the Pirates walked through a Sergeant noticed them and yelled “PIRATES”. The rest of the Navy saw them and Lifted up their Bayonets and Fired at them. The Pirates ducked in cover as the Navy fired at them then the Pirates brought in a Cannon. “FIRE THE GUNS” Swash yelled to them. BOOM went the cannons as the navy flew up in the air or fell down. The Navy continued to fire at the Pirates. The Pirates got out their pistols, and came up for air to get a shot at one of the Navy then fired their pistols at them. They continued this until the navy was actually losing but they didn’t give up. The Navy went up, Got out their swords and took a Swing at them. This drew a lot of attention to the Sword fighters, but the pirates had perfect shots at them. This was a result of most of the Navy deaths during the battle. When the Navy had, had enough they ran out of the cave the Pirates got a few more shots before they ran out. The Invasion had worked and they had tooken over Becketts Quarry, the navy’s biggest underground base. As a result of the invasion they had Recruited 78 Slaves Numbering their Army at 328 Pirates, but 23 Pirates had died that day. There were 56 Navy Deaths and 74 Injuries, and the Battle for the Caribbean had officially begun.
