Captain Pete. Thats what they use to call him. Back before all the Heartless came and he started traveling to new worlds. Before he became the servant to a stupid witch, before becoming an outlaw and leader of a gang. Before Queen Mini locked him in another universe after he nearly killed his arch enemy, one time friend, Mickey Mouse. Or as they call him know, King Mickey. Back when all he wanted was his Steamboat, good food and drink, and a nice place to sleep. Now he was no longer happy with any of it, even when he got his steamboat back it was hollow and meaningless. Many villains felt this way, thats why they tried to take over the world or something, they were just trying to fill a need that they had but didn't understand. So they were always trying to do greater and greater things, never happy with what they had in life even if they didn't understand why. Pete was once like this, he thought that if he could become king or empire or something he would be happy. His plans got bigger and bigger until eventually he was locked away in another dimension. But during that time in his hell he came to understand what he really wanted out of life. All Pete wanted was to beat Mickey, take every thing he had and then watch as he tried to survive with nothing. Just like he did to him all those years ago.
Pete was in his room as he thought back to the days before Mickey caused all this to happen to him. He did this when ever Merlefercant gave him time off after trying to scare him into thinking she was going to kill him. He couldn't help but smirk at the idea that the witch really thought she scared him as much as she thought she did and that she thought she had all the power. He did fear her, a little, he wouldn't lie about that because she was damn scary. But Pete know that she needed him way more than he needed her, even if she didn't know it. He ran her army for her, kept her allies in line, and made sure her plans went as best they could. With out him what power she had left would fall to pieces. But without her Pete would just find another "master" to take her place.
Thats what Pete did best, survive. He would use these more powerful villains, help them with what ever insane plan they had to take over the world, and when that failed, he would just leave and find some other person to leech off of. And Merlefercant was no different, just another moron who didn't know when to be happy with what they had. But Pete know what he wanted, and he knew that he would one day reach it, so long as he survived. And he did, he always did.
The giant fat cat's thought turned from the present and back to the past. He let his thoughts drift back to when he was forced down this dark path were he would become nothing more than a pawn for morons. If he had only known were his actions that day would led him. He would have strangled that shrimp with his bare hands. The day he meet Mickey Mouse.
King Mickey. Thats what they called him know. Mickey sat in his throne room, his crown feeling heavier than normal. It always did when he thought about his one time friend, now arch enemy, Pete. Peopled told him all the time that what happen to Pete wasn't his fault and that the fat cat made his own decisions that lead him to were he is. But deep in his heart Mickey still felt guilty, that maybe the only reason he was wearing this crown now was because he ruined his best friend's life.
Mickey wished he could help the evil fat cat, save him from his own anger, and from the past that still haunted both of them. Or at least make his friends see just how dangers Pete really was. Tell them that they need to stop thinking he his the fat idolt they think he is. They didn't understand just how smart Pete is in his simply way, how far he would go just to survive, how they would think that just because they were able to beat him once or twice that meant he was no threat to them. But Mickey knew, he seen just what his arch enemy was truly capable of. He saw that no matter how many times he was defeated Pete always managed to get away. What most people saw was a fat dumb bully that ran at the first sign of trouble, Mickey know that underneath that extra was a man who cared so little about those around him that he would let them think he was that dumb bully so long as he won in the end.
As mouse king thought about his history with one of him most dangers foes, he couldn't help but let his mind drift back to the day were it all started. The day that would forever change their lives. If Mickey had known about any of this he would have .... done something. Anything to save that over weight steamboat captain form his fate. The day he meet Captain Pete.
The day started off so normal, it was sunny and warm. Birds were singing in the sky, and the people of the Magic Kingdom were going about their business. Of course you couldn't see that from the inside of Captains Pete small quarters on his boat the SteamBoat Willy. He kept the blinds closed and the room was filled with the smoke from his cigar. The whole room was fairly messy, the bed was unmade, dirt covered the floor, and clothes hung were ever he threw them, the worst bit was his desk, not only did papers and pens covered the top and filled the draws to bursting but it was covered with crumbs and stains from all the meals he had eaten there. But Pete kind of liked the mess, it made him feel like the place was his and no one else's. He wasn't big into other people, he had a hard time trusting them and after awhile they always got on his nerves.
But even he couldn't run a steamboat by himself, even if he was the best captain on the river with the fastest boat he still needed a good deck hand. His last one had run off on him. "Wimp." Pete thought to him self as he looked through the resumes. The biggest problem for the Captain was that not only did his reputation as good sailor get out but also his temper was now becoming legendary. So few people wanted to work for the great and terrifying Captain Pete that he only got three people that wanted the job. He all ready saw the first two this morning and they seemed to be nothing but cowards and thieves. The only one left was a pipe quick named Mickey Mouse. "I just hope he doesn't wet his bed the first night." Thought Pete as he groined in his mind. He then bellowed in his deep voice, "NEXT!"
