CHAPTER 1: THE PROBLEM WITH BOOS
JACK walked about the deck of the ship. He didn't think this day could get any more boring. There was absolutely nothing whatsoever to do.
"I need some rum." he said to himself. He headed below deck to the rum storage. He rummaged anxiously through the empty boxes until he found one that was partially full. "I'd better tell Gibbs we need to go to Tortuga for more rum." he said again, to himself. However, as he headed out of the storage he caught sight of something white moving slowly through the rows of shelves. He slowly crept up to it….a boo! What the heck was it doing here? It turned his way. He froze but it didn't do anything, it just floated there staring at him.
"BOO!" Jack exclaimed. The boo disappeared. Jack just stood there, "That was awkward…." then he began to walk away. Suddenly he heard a crash. He froze and looked around. Then, seeing nothing walked again. Crash! Jack turned, still nothing. Then he continued to walk. CRASH! This time, Jack whipped around "OK, whoever you are, stop that!" Suddenly rum boxes came falling out of the shelves by themselves. Then boos appeared in a perfect line on every shelf they began to advance toward him. He turned to run but was stopped by more boos. They surrounded him and jumped on him. They yanked at his hair and jerked him viciously around. Finally they had him pinned to the ground. The world began to swarm in a mass of colors. The last thing Jack heard was a cackle and then he knew suddenly why they were here….
Jack felt something on his face. It was cold and wet. He opened his eyes to sunlight so immense, he could have been blinded. Will had a cloth pinned to his head. "What happened?" Jack groaned. Will helped him sit up and propped him against the mast. "You were attacked by boos."
"As were we all." Norrington said.
"The boos that attacked you took Angelica." Will said.
"What, they took…" he tried to stand but Will held him down.
"Calm yourself Jack, they also took Elizabeth, from what I've heard." he glare at James.
"It wasn't my fault Elizabeth wanted to take a walk with me." James exclaimed.
"-And not to mention they also took Peach and Daisy." said a new voice. All 3 guys turned. Mario and Luigi!
Will turned. "Ahh, well if it isn't Mario! How's it going buddy?"
"Not very good." Mario said, "The boo's took Peach and Daisy then joined forces with Dr. Eggman."
"Doctor who?" Jack asked.
"Eggman." Mario answered.
"Who's Dr. Eggman?"
"Sonic's archenemy." Mario replied.
"Who's Sonic?" Jack wondered.
Just then something whizzed past him. He turned; there was a blue ball, a red ball, a white ball and a black ball. They gradually slowed down and revealed some hedgehogs and an echidna. One was blue, one was black, one was gary and the other was red.
"What goin on?" asked the blue one.
"Ahh, Sonic it's a pleasure to see you." Mario said.
"Pleasure's all mine." Then, something orange came fluttering down from the sky, an orange fox with two tails.
"Hey, Tails." Mario said.
"Hey guys." Tails said.
"Well, Sonic, I'd like to introduce you to my friends." Mario began, "Sonic this is Jack, Will, and James." Sonic walked over and shook hands with Jack. "Nice to meet you." Sonic said, then he turned. "This is Tails, Silver, Knuckles and Shadow."
"Hi." Jack said.
"Humph." Shadow crossed his arms and turned away.
"Don't mind him." Sonic said then he turned to Mario.
"Eggman kidnapped Amy, Blaze, Tikal; and Rouge." he told Mario.
"He joined forces with King Boo and some dude named Cutler Beckett." Shadow said, and then he turned to the POTCs. "Is the name Cutler Beckett familiar to you?" he demanded suspiciously.
"We know him, he's no friend. He's out to destroy all pirates in our world." Will explained.
"And now that he's lost his ally, Davy Jones he's hungry for revenge. I can see why he'd join forces with them." James said.
"Whatever you say." Shadow said, still with uncertainty.
"Well this is just great." said the red echidna called Knuckles, "Eggman joined forces with King Boo and that guy Cutler, uhh- what's his face joined forces with them."
"Lord Beckett." Jack said.
"It'll take the power of all of us to overthrow all 3 forces." Sonic said, "We have to work together." He put his hand out. "Whatdaya say?"
"I'm with it!" Tails put his right hand on top of Sonic's.
"I'll help." Mario put is right hand on top of Tail's right hand.
"If my bro is in so am I!" Luigi put his right hand on Mario's.
"I'll do anything for my girl." Will put his right hand on top of Luigi's.
"I'm not letting anything happen to Angelica!" Jack put his right hand on top of Will's.
"I'll do anything for Elizabeth." James put his right hand on top of Jack's.
"I guess I'll help." Knuckles put his right hand on top James's right hand.
"So will I." said Silver, adding his hand to the pile.
"Shadow?" Sonic asked to Shadow who was standing with his back turned to them and his arms crossed, "You don't wanna disappoint Rouge do you?"
"….One of the only girls that ever loved him by the way." Tails whispered into Jack's ear. A smile curved across Jack's lips, he and Tails would be buddies.
"Hmm, fine." Shadow put his right hand in. They stacked their left hands.
"All for one and one for all!" they shouted in unison then lifted their hands.
"Now let's go, we must not waste any more time." Mario said and jumped into the pipe.
