The Pirates or the Ninjas?

For years I have heard the same argument over and over and over. Pirates or Ninjas? This debate is worse than any on capital hill. No one every wins, friendships destroyed, and feelings hurt. So a few years back I took it upon myself to research the subject and have found an answer other than 42.

When you look at it, it seems simple enough. However, it has multiple outcomes. A child must be born into one, and become another. I pirate as a child must be lost during a siege of a town near a river. The child, being young, will know much of the pirate ways. While watching his family and friends plunder the town, he goes off to play in the river. A scared village person will see his pirate clothes, and knock him out. Realizing it is a kid, they will not kill him, but send him off down the river.

This river will end up in a town far from the boy's homeland. Waking, the boy will wonder for months until he is found by a group of roaming ninjas at night while he is sleeping. The boy will be taken, imprisoned, and taken to their ninja school. Here, instead of killing him, a wise elder will see the potential in this boy to bring the two sides together. They will then raise this boy as one of their own. He will find hard time fitting in, but soon prove to be loyal.

Then a war will finally break out. Both sides will come to one place, after one major event, and finally wage war against one another. This war will last a long time, with many deaths and injuries. Then, when the war seems at its most darkest hour, this boy will arise. Being of both Ninja and Pirate, he will become a rallying point. He will rise up, bringing both ninja and pirates together. Finally, he shall bring both sides together. If he brings the sides together through force or peace will yet to be seen....


The only way to ever find a solution is to have someone of both sides, and this will, in the end, bring a stop to this ongoing, relentless, nerd argument.
