*This is my first Treasure Planet story, and I don't really care for it all that much. But I would still like reviews, so if you hate it tell me, if you like it tell me, and if you love it tell me!
Chapter One
Jim Hawkins strolled outside the newly rebuilt Benbow Inn. After being at the Academy, he was glad to be home, and around familiar people. Looking around him, he couldn't help but smile at Morphy floating around his head. He sighed as he though of Silver, and how he missed him. He was the closest thing to a father he had, and now he was gone.
"Jim! Suppers ready! Come one in!" his mother called from the front door of the Inn. He looked around one last time at the setting sun of Montressor, and started walking back inside.
As he entered the Inn, he looked at Professor Doppler and Amelia sitting at the table, with their four offspring in a large crib behind them. His mother was over putting the finishing touches on the supper, and Ben was setting the table, and chattering away as usual. Walking over to the table he took a seat next to Amelia, and started a conversation with her and Doppler about something or another.
After supper was over and Doppler and Amelia had returned home with their children, and Jims mother was fast asleep, Jim himself sat on the roof of the Inn. Looking up at the stars he couldn't help but once again thinking about Silver. Sure he was glad to be home and all, but he kinda missed all the excitement he had experienced during the journey to Treasure Planet. Smiling, and shaking his head, he started to climb through the window he had came through to get on the roof. But he stopped suddenly when he heard, what he thought was someone calling his name, in barley a whisper.
"Jimbo. Hey lad. Jiiimmmboo." called the voice. 'It couldn't be' Jim thought to himself. But, only Silver had ever called him Jimbo. Becoming overcome with curiosity, Jim slowly climbed back out onto the roof and looked around. No ships anywhere. Then the voice called again.
"Lad! Down here, down here lad!" the voice called, but still remained a whisper. Looking down to the ground, Jim saw a figure in the darkness, the owner of the voice. He just stared at it for a minute, when it shifted, and a small red light coming out of a gold eye could be seen.
"Silver!" Jim screamed as he scampered through the window, and through the whole of the house down the front door, threw it open, and ran to where he had seen the figure. But Jim stopped when he noticed no one around. Feeling like a fool that he had believed it was really John Silver, Jim lowered his head and shuffled back toward the Inn. Then he was stopped once more.
"Now lady, you wouldn't be leavin old John Silver out here in the cold now would ya?" Jim turned to the source of the voice, to see, low and behold, Silver. Standing in his spot for a second to make sure he wasn't an illusion, and wouldn't disappear, Jim's eyes grew round as dinner plates. Seeing that he wasn't a trick of the mind, Jim ran to Silver and embraced him in a tight hug. Silver returned the hug for a short while then pulled away, and smiled at the boy.
"Ah, see lad, I told ya, ya had the makin's of greatness in ya. And now look at ya. Gone to a academy and everythin, aye, you're a certified spacer now my boy." the large Syborg beamed.
"What are ya doin' here Silver? I thought you were off travelin the galaxies." Jim asked his friend, and smiled.
"Aye lad, that I have. But I came upon a certain voyage that I thought might interest ya." Silver told pulling out a large piece of paper. "I came upon this here map on one of my travels. Now, lets go inside and I'll tell ya about this here map." Silver said smiling. Jim and the Syborg entered the Benbow Inn and sat at a table on wall, and Silver opened up the rolled up piece of paper. The map was very unfamiliar to Jim, seeing that maps like these were hardly used anymore, if ever. It was easy enough to read. On the piece of paper was a large picture of a piece of land. Red and blue lines ran through it, that looked like paths. And on the north-east side of the map, there was a big red X.
"This my lad, is an ancient kinda map. Drawn out thousands of years ago." Silver said, while looking down at the map. "But mind you, there still be treasure!"
Jim looked down at the map. "Silver if this map is so old, then what makes you think that the treasure is still there? I mean there could be hundreds of copies of this map." he argued.
"Well sonny, that be part of the adventure. And besides, what else are ya gonna do? Now that yer outta that academy, I say you show everyone what yer made of." Silver said back. Looking around him and making sure no one in the house had waken up, Jim looked at Silver in thought. This was all so sudden. He hadn't been home from the academy for two months, and already he was getting a offer to go on another treasure hunt. What would his mother say? Well he is old enough to make his own decisions. And like Silver said, what better way to show every one what he was made of? God knew he wanted to go, but he couldn't say it right away.
"Silver, you'll need a crew, a captain, a boat. And besides what kinda crew is gonna go on a treasure hunt with the chance that there's no treasure?"
"Lad, every pirate has that to worry about. And I have everything else all planned out. All we need now is a cabin boy." Silver said while smiling at Jim, knowing that he was going to say yes. Sighing Jim asked another question.
"So where is this treasure. This map could be of any plant in the universe."
"Already figured that out Jimbo. This map is of one of the oldest planets in the universe, it is. No telling what be on that planet." Silver said thinking to himself.
"And that planet would be…"Jim continued.
"That planet would be the planet Earth, Jimbo. That also be the planet that your kind was originally from." Silver pointed out, slamming his hand on the table. Jim had heard of Earth from school and everything, but never thought about actually going there. He also had picked up from school that there were stories about mystical beings still living on the abandoned planet. His thoughts were interrupted when Silver continued.
"So what do ya say lady. Up for another treasure hunt." he said quietly. And then stuck out his good hand for Jim to shake. To tell Silver that Jim would go on this journey. Jim just looked at it for a while. Then looked up and Silver and smiled.
"You bet!" and then took the Syborg's hand.
