Chapter 2: Taken down one by one
Now Blake felt really worried at this point, after seeing Jake's sword. Stained with blood. At first he thought it was some sort of joke, but he remembered that Jake would never leave his sword alone. So now, what was going on? Blake could here Izzy shakingly sobbing. He could tell she was very scared. That's when she said to him, "B-B-Blake... what are we gonna do...?"
Usually Blake would have ideas, but this time, even he wasn't sure of what to do. So for now he could just hug Izzy reluctantly and comfort her. When suddenly, he heard another frantic scream. That's when he saw Lizzy and Charlie running towards him, both covered and blood from head to toe, and terrified.
"What in the?! What the heck happened to you two?"
The both of them were breathing heavily. "It... it.. it was the Never Land Pirate slayer!" Lizzy exclaimed.
"We saw him... we really saw him!" Charlie added.
Izzy was shocked when she heard them say that, but Blake however rolled his eyes as he stared at his crew with a dull look. "Crew! There's no way it could be the Never Land slayer. Maybe somebody splattered you with red paint when you weren't looking."
"No!" Lizzy shot back. "We saw him. He gave us cuts."
Lizzy and Charlie showed their arms to Blake, and he noticed that there were indeed, cuts on their arms... unusually deep cuts. Now that time, Blake actually gulped a little. His friends were hurt. As he was about to say something else regarding this, and it was a little more concerned. "A.. are you sure someone's not playing a prank on you?"
His mateys nodded, in tears.
By this time, Blake decided that he needed to treat his crew. "Come on, we'd better get back to Lucky and treats your injuries before they become infected. Or even worse!" Blake told his crew. But there was a problem... it was so dark, they didn't know which way to Shipwreck Beach. So it was not going to be easy at all. That's when Izzy spoke up. "We've... we've find Jake, Cubby, and Skully..."
"You can find them on your own. I need to get my crew and myself back to Lucky."
So as Blake tries to help his crew back to their ship, but Izzy follows along, not wanting to be alone. However, it began to grow even darker outside. Making it very hard to walk through the woods. And also making it very scary and frightening. Suddenly, Blake noticed something on the ground... it looked like... a torn and bloodstained map.
"Hold on! Isn't this Cubby's map?" Blake asked.
Izzy took a good look at the map and gasped. "It is!" She confirmed. Now Lizzy and Charlie were even more frightened. Izzy included. First it was Jake's sword, and now Cubby's map. But Blake tried to reassure everyone about this. "Guys! Will you all stop worrying?! I told you once, I told you a thousand times. There is no such thing as the Never Land Slayer! End of discussion!"
"But-" Lizzy and Charlie tried to say.
"END OF DISCUSSION!"
The two crew members stayed silent from that point on. As for Izzy, she was still worried. "I sure hope Jake and Cubby are okay..."
Blake turned to her with a smirk as he assured her... as well as complimented her. "Aw don't worry, those two will be fine. But I got to admit, you sure do care for them a lot."
"Well, they are my friends..."
"I know.. You know if you're so worried about them, why don't you just go and try to find them."
"Because... I'm scared. I don't wanna be alone."
As she said that, they heard a rustling in the woods. This made her gasp! Blake held on to her for protection, immediately offending Lizzy and Charlie. "Oh! So you hold her, but we're hurt and are not be cuddled?!" Lizzy said, annoyed.
Blake suddenly realized what he was doing as he pulled away from Izzy. That's when they heard another noise... the sound of evil laughter...
That suddenly caused Lizzy and Charlie to gasp with fright. Blake took out his sword for protection. "Alright, who's out there?" He demanded, holding his sword up. The only response he got was a scream... a dark scream, and something shoot out of the bushes. It was a figure, with a pure white face, wild red hair, and he was wearing a dark grey cloak, also wielding a blood stained sword. The look on his face was sinister, his lips curved into a devilish grin.
Charlie screamed. "It's him! It's the Never Land Pirate slayer!"
"Well hello my victims of the night." The slayer greeted preparing his sword to attack. But Blake blocked the blow with his sword. "Don't just stand there, get out of here!" He told the others, who obeyed and ran as fast as they could. Suddenly, the slayer punched Blake to the floor, making him drop his sword. And soon, immediately goes after his next victims.
Blake quickly recovered and saw what the slayer was doing. He was going after Lizzy and Charlie next as they tried to escape with their lives, But couldn't outrun him. Not wanting his mateys to be killed, he ran after the slayer.
"Hold tight crew, I'm coming!" Blake said as he ran as fast as he could to catch up, before it is too late. But as he did, he suddenly bumped into someone... he looked to see it was a bruised, bloody, and frightened Cubby. Unfortunately Cubby couldn't tell that it was Blake who bumped into him. Due to it being still dark out. "No! Please! Don't hurt me!" The small boy whimpered. But Blake grabbed him and tried to calm him down.
However, Cubby was still afraid until he saw it was indeed Blake. "Oh... Blake, it's you... I thought you were the slayer."
"I know... and I can't believe I'm saying this. But it looks like I was wrong." Blake shamefully admitted.
Cubby looked at him in concern. "What do you mean?"
"I mean I thought the Never Land Slayer wasn't real. But after seeing him actually real. My theory and instinct was wrong!" Blake said. "And right now, he's going after my crew."
But right now, she was scared stiff. For with the Never Land Slayer hunting them down, there's no telling what's going to happen.
"Aw coconuts. We better go save them."
Blake then remembered something, and then took out Cubby's map, giving it to the small pirate boy. "It's my map. Thanks!"
Blake nodded.
With that, the two pirates kids ran off to find the others. Meanwhile, Izzy found herself all alone at the moment. But right now, she was scared stiff. For with the Never Land Slayer hunting them down, there's no telling what's going to happen. "Hello... where is everyone...?" She called. But then she saw Lizzy and Charlie running up behind her. "We're here, Izzy." Lizzy assured her.
"But so is the Never Land Pirate slayer..." Charlie whimpered.
Izzy nodded. "C'mon... we better find Blake, Jake, Cubby, and Skully before it's too late."
The three began to walk another way... but came face to face with the slayer instead.
"Going somewhere my prey?"
Their only response was screaming. He raised his sword, but then Lizzy used her dark pixie dust to distract him by throwing it in his face. This blinded him temporary, but it was enough for the children to escape from this slayer. After getting far enough away from him, they took deep breaths. "That was close. Good thinking, Liz." Charlie said.
Lizzy smirked. "What can I say. My pixie dust comes in handy in emergencies."
"Hey, maybe we could use my pixie dust to fly out of here, and find the others. It's an emergency, and it'll be quicker." Izzy suggested.
That sounded like a great idea, but before it could be put into action, something swooped in, and grabbed Izzy. Care to guess who swooped in? You guessed it! It was the slayer as he laughed demonically. And all Izzy did was scream in terror as she was taken away, probably off to being killed. Lizzy and Charlie could only watch in horror.
They could not believe this was really happening.
That's when they knew they had to find Blake. Immediately! So wasting no time, they ran off into the woods, desperately hoping to find and run into Blake before the Never Land Slayer comes back.
Meanwhile with Blake and Cubby...
Blake right now was focused on finding his crew before the Slayer did, while Cubby was scared out his mind. "B-B-Blake... you don't think.. the slayer got them... do you?" He timidly asked. "He better not have!" Blake firmly replied.
The two made it back to Mermaid Lagoon, and what they saw horrified them...
Blood... in the water...
You don't suppose... he got to the mermaids as well.
Blake shook his head as he led Cubby away from the scene. "Come on, we got to keep going and find the others."
As they continued on, they also noticed a few blood stains on the ground and on some rocks. This was getting more creepy by the moment. And it was about to get even more creepy, when they saw someone run up to them. It was Jake, covered in dirt, mud, and a few cuts and bruises. Cubby hugged his leader. "Oh Jake! I'm so glad you're okay!"
"For a minute there, I thought you were gone for good." Blake added.
Jake sighed. "I know. But where are the others?"
"Last I saw them, they were being hunted down by the Never Land Slayer." Blake answered.
"Yikes. We better find them..."
Speaking of them, Lizzy and Charlie were still trying to find their leader Blake, and fast. But they were able to run up to him and the others, breathing heavily...
"Blake..." Lizzy whispered. "We're so glad we found you..."
"So am I.." Blake replied, feeling relieved. That is until he noticed something missing. "Wait, wasn't Izzy with you two?"
Lizzy and Charlie looked at each other before Charlie spoke up. "The... the slayer got her."
Jake eyes opened up wide hearing him say that as Cubby gasped with horror, Blake was really shocked now. "The slayer just swooped in and took her away." Lizzy explained. This was unbelievable, and Jake didn't like this at all. "We've gotta go save her." He declared.
He wastes no time and immediately goes on the run to find Izzy. With the others following behind him. They could only hope they find Izzy before it is too late. It was getting even more dark, that the moon wasn't even shining.
As the crews ran through the forest, Jake noticed a figure throwing something into the Never Seas in the distance. It looked like a small bag. That's he had a horrific thought... what if... Skully was in that bag.
Jake tried to ignore that until he heard a scream.
He recognized that scream anywhere, as he runs in the direction of the scream.
"Hey! Hold up!" Blake said as he, Cubby, Lizzy, and Charlie follow him.
That's when Jake came across something terrifying...
It was Izzy...
Hanging from a tree...
Bleeding from head to toe...
A rope tied tightly around her neck...
A shiny bullet piercing her own forehead...
This could only mean one thing...
"Aw coconuts... he got her..." Cubby whimpered.
Jake had nothing to say... he couldn't say anything... All he did was fall to his knees, and bury his face in his hands. Lizzy only covered her mouth in horror while Charlie stared frozen in shock. Blake, on the other hand, knelt beside Jake and rubbed his back, trying to comfort him. "I'm sorry Jake. We might have not saved Izzy, but we can still try to save the others."
Jake looked up at him and stood up. "You're right, Blake. We better get to safety."
But before the kids could get anywhere, they came face to face once again with the slayer once again, who was holding Izzy's body.
"Leaving so soon?"
Immediately, Cubby screamed at the top of his lungs with fright. The slayer then lunged at him, slashing the boy on the stomach with his sword. This made everyone else scream with fright. Cubby just lied there on the ground, with his stomach opened up, and blood immediately leaking out fast. The slayer chuckled as he turned to the others and licked the blood on the sword, taunting the kids.
"Now, who would like to be next?!"
They all shook their heads as they ran off. "I wasn't asking you, I am demanding." The slayer finished as he makes his move again. The young pirates could see that the slayer could fly much to their shock! Now he could be able to get to them faster. "Hurry, crew!" Jake called out.
Suddenly, they all came close to running off a cliff, but stopped just in time. But now they had nowhere left to run, it was a dead end. They turned to see the slayer smirking, and holding up a flamethrower. And they all screamed in horror upon seeing him with it. He was going to burn them alive! That's when Blake had an idea. And it was this!
He grabbed everyone, and they all jumped off the cliff.
The others screamed as they fall as Jake screamed at Blake, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"
Blake pointed downwards and everyone saw they he was pointing to slides... fun looking playset slides.
"And you thought I was trying to kill us ourselves?!"
The crews began to slide down the twisty tubes to safety. Soon they all made it to the bottom of the slides, and hopefully to safety. Jake sighed. "Well, good thinking, Blake..." He said to his evil pirate equivalent.
Blake could only smirk, but now that they were away from the Slayer for the time being. They had to think of something, but what?
"Now what are we gonna do?" Jake asked. "I've already lost all of my mateys..."
Blake was very unsure at the moment. Cause so far the slayer has been too strong to avoid. So what could they do? It's not like they could overpower the slayer... or could they? Then that's when it hit him, as he began to speak up...
"Hold on! Guys, I think I have an idea that just might work."
Everyone listened on in... what was Blake's plan?
"All we need to do is provide the Slayer a little distraction, while he's distracted. We can try to find a way to capture him and imprison him forever!"
Wow... if you're afraid of the slayer now, please raise your hand. (Raises hand) Good god, he's killed Izzy, Cubby, and Skully. And now the others could be next... unless Blake's plan somehow works. Expect the next chapter on the day of the premiere of the new JATNLP special, Battle for the Book. I'll see you guys later, and don't forget to review, please. Thank you.
