Scroop smiled. The disability of the ship's gravity may have caught him off guard, but it helped him in putting the cabin boy in a very tight spot. The boy gripped the pirate flag with his very life. Scroop scuttled up the pole and found the rope that held the flag to the pole. With his right claw, he began to slowly cut the rope.

"Do say hello ta Arrow," Scroop chuckled. The smile on his face disappeared when the cabin boy forced with all his might from the flag to the pole. No matter. The boy was only human. Scroop scuttled toward the boy and made a leap for him. Somehow, the boy timed a leap over Scroop and nailed him in the mid-section with both feet. Scroop found himself flying into the pirate flag. The rope snapped.

"Tell him yourself," the boy yelled. Scroop ripped a hole through the flag. He was now outside of the ship's control of gravity. He was not coming back to the ship. Scroop screamed in terror as he began to float further off into space. The cabin boy watched and sighed with relief when the ship's gravity was enabled.

He began to hear voices. He didn't know how long he was unconscious for, but he knew that he was alive. Somehow. Scroop slowly opened his eyes. Blurred figures stood above him, wondering how in the world he survived floating through space. Apparently the pirate flag was gone, otherwise he would've either been locked up in the ship's brig and cast overboard to continue his eternal float through space before his inevitable death.

Whom ever these people were, Scroop didn't care. Once strength was regained in his arms, he quickly raised his right arm up and slit the nearest throat. Everyone else stood back in shock and terror, but they had no time to react. Swiftly, Scroop massacred the ship's entire crew. There was rage in his eyes and his claws were drenched in blood. The blood of a crew who never saw their death coming.

Scroop looked around and noticed that this was nothing more than a cargo ship. They were probably caring useless supplies to who knows where. He didn't care. He need to get to Treasure Planet and fast. He made his way to the ship's helm when he suddenly became drowsy. He cursed the drowsiness and found himself lying unconscious once more, only next to the wheel.

He was awoke moments later. The ship was shaking by sheer force. Scroop stood up and looked about. He witnessed the cause and it was not pleasant. In the distance was an exploding planet. He didn't have to guess which planet it was. He knew for sure that it was Treasure Planet explode. Flint's trove was more than likely gone and there wasn't a single coin for him to claim. Vest riches beyond belief vanished before his eyes. Scroop cursed some more, but this time he was real specific in the names of those he cursed.

"Silver, ye back stabbing sonuvabitch!" he cursed under his breath. "You and that girl of yers stole my claim!" He hoped down to the ship's deck and smashed his claws on the corpses of the ship's crew, cursing as though he were drunk. "Curse ye and that cabin boy of yers!" Scroop continued to mash the bodies until his arm tired. Breathing heavily, Scroop glared at what remained of Treasure Planet.

Scroop scuttled to the ship's helm. With blood drenched claws, he spun the wheel to the left. He didn't know where he was going, but he had a good of idea of his destination. Rage filled his eyes and he began to sail the ship through the emptiness of space. Silver, that girl of his, the cabin boy. They were all going to pay and his mind began to fill with infinite variations of torture. How he was going to kill every single one of them.

"Just ye wait and see, Silver," he murmured. "By tha time I'm through with you and yer brats, it will take centuries to put y'all back together."
