Chapter 2: The Sinking Of The Dorabella
Chaos reigned as everyone ran about on the ship, panicking. The TTC went to the cargo room where they discovered a huge hole. After inspecting it, Charles said, "Quick, get some metal and a torch, and try to plug up the hole. And get everyone onboard to safety, too-this ship won't sink in my world."
"President Raccoon, we'll try to stop in Bermuda and fix the ship," said Captain Steve Smith.
Bert replied, "Good idea. Let's hurry, before we all drown!"
Meanwhile, Bert Jr. was trying to get the others to their rooms. Suddenly, more water came in and pushed him overbaord. He screamed, "Maggie!"
"BERT JR!" Maggie screamed out.
"Dad!" shouted Percy.
"Daddy!" shouted Abrielle.
"Throw a line, you guys!" yelled Bert. "He's about to go down! HURRY!"
They threw a lifesaver, but it missed him, and they were forced to watch as he drifted away in the water. Maggie, sensing that their efforts to rescue her husband had failed, buried her face in her hands and cried. She sobbed, "No...he's gone..."
Bert patted her on the shoulder. He whispered, "Don't worry, Maggie...we'll find him once we are in Bermuda."
Charles said, "I know where Bert Jr.'s headed for-it's the Bermuda Triangle."
"How did you know about that place?"
"I heard it on the History Channel. It said that ships go into that area, but never come out. Even the passenger ships from the 1900s to the 2000s were missing."
"We have to go there. We don't care if we can't get out-what really matters is that my son has to be rescued somehow..."
On the other side of the Bermuda Triangle, Bert Jr. washed up on the shore of an island. The four slaves-Baloo, Rebecca, Molly and Kit-found him, and called Don Karange over to tell him about what they discovered. Baloo said, "Master, we found another one."
Don Karnage and his pirates came to inspect Bert Jr., and after looking him over Don Karnage smiled and said, "Ah! This must be one of the TTC Stewie told me about. He will make an excellent slave. Baloo, take him into the Mind-Wash Chamber-I will make him obey my every commands, just like I did to you."
"Yes, Master Karnage."
Kit and Molly grabbed Bert Jr and took him to the Mind-Wash Chamber. Don added, "Oh, before I forget, call Stewie and tell him that the plan is in motion. Since the TTC will be looking for him and when they come here, they will be in for a nasty surprise! HA-HA-HA!"
Bert Jr. woke up and saw what was going on. Immediately, he kicked himself free, knocked down the slaves, and aimed his stunner gun at Don Karnage. He shouted, "So, you were behind this all along, Don Karnage!"
"Why me?" questioned Don. "I didn't sink your ship!"
"Then whose side are you on? The good side or the bad side?"
"The bad side! What's it to you?"
"Because you are attempting to brainwash me! Isn't that what you're going to do?"
"...yes."
Bert Jr. put his stun gun back. Then, he said, "Okay, I'm the survivor of the sinking of the S.S. Dorabella, and somehow I ended up on this island with nowhere to go. Tell you what-if you are willing to give up trying to brainwash me, I'll stay on the island and be your slave. But if you do attempt to do so, I WILL escape. Have we got a deal?"
Don fumed a bit, before ordering his slaves to destroy the Mind-Wash Chamber. He said slyly, "So, you want to be a slave for life without any brainwashing involved, eh? Then you are going to remain here on this very island and do my every bidding. What you're dealing with right now is my new crew of vicious pirates, all of them descendants of the original pirate crew of the great French pirate captain François l'Olonnais, who after his death unknowingly wandered through the Bermuda Triangle while searching for treasure and became marooned on the same island you and I are standing on today. For nearly 300 years this pirate enclave remained hidden from civilization, and the pirates sustained themselves by raiding ships, plundering any goods they can find, and killing anyone who stood in their way-those they cannot kill were indentured as slaves for life. Most of those slaves are women and children from different eras, but we also take men foolish enough to fight against us. And you're one of them!"
"And what am I supposed to do?"
"Your first job as a new slave will involve helping us build and repair our shacks. So now you'll be a carpenter!"
"A carpenter? Why do you want me to be the-"
"Ah, ah, ah! We had a deal, remember? It's either this or the Mind-Wash Chamber."
"...fine...I'll accept the job."
"Good. NOW GET GOING BEFORE I RIP YOUR STRIPED BUSHY TAIL OFF!"
"Yeah...Master Karnage..."
