The Knight and The Genie

Chapter 3: Prisoner

Shantae awoke on a ship, more specifically, an old ship covered in ice. She looked around the room, assuming she was in the brig, due to the jail bars and her arms being shackled to the wall. Her head dipped down in shame, "Some guardian genie I am." Shantae said to herself, "I got ambushed by two guys with shovels." She heard the door open, seeing Black Knight and the Tinkerbat enter, the Tinkerbat holding a tray of what she assumed was food. Black Knight stopped in front of her cell.

"Good day Miss. Shantae." Black Knight said, "Sleep well?" He sarcastically asked.

Shantae glared at him, "Who are you?"

Black Knight opened the cell door, letting the Tinkerbat in to give her the food, "Just a friend who wants to give you your last meal." And he quickly shut the door. The Tinkerbat set the tray down and ran to the locked door.

"What the!" The Tinkerbat yelled to Black Knight, "What gives?"

"Someone must keep an eye on her, and if she gets out of hand, use your cutlass and slit her throat. The poster did say 'Dead OR Alive'." He walked out of the room at that statement. The Tinkerbat looked to Shantae, who was giving him a puppy dog look.

"What?" The Tinkerbat asked.

"Feed me?" She asked, giving the Tinkerbat puppy dog eyes.

"Why? Why should I help you?" The Tinkerbat drew his cutlass. Shantae gave him a, 'are you serious' look, motioning to her shackled hands. The Tinkerbat put the cutlass away, "Right." He sat down beside her, and spoon fed her the mush that Polar Knight prepared.

Up top, Black Knight was looking over the ocean, dreaming about the riches that half genie would bring him and Polar Knight.

-Scuttle Town-

Bolo limped into Mimic's workshop, seeing the place was messed up and Mimic himself knocked out on the floor. "Mimic!" Bolo yelled. He rushed to help the old fool up, Mimic was barely conscious. Bolo helped the scientist to a chair, "You ok Mimic?" Bolo asked.

"I'm fine, this isn't the first time I've been thrown around by Risky's crew. Where's Shantae?" He asked out of concern for his niece. Bolo looked around, seeing no sign of her.

"I don't know, maybe she's home sleeping." Bolo said to Mimic. Mimic shook his head.

"Before I lost consciousness, I saw her rush in. I can only assume whoever those brutes were working for must be Risky." Mimic told Bolo.

Bolo stood firm, drawing his sword in a knightly manor, "I'll rescue Shantae. I will bring her safe and sound." Bolo said. Mimic nodded, and pulled out a contact orb. He talked into it and put it away.

Mimic walked with Bolo to the dock, showing him a small boat, Bolo gave a questioning look to Mimic. "What?" He looked to the boat, "Oh, no. You're not taking that boat."

"What am I taking then?" Bolo asked.

As soon as Bolo asked, a ship, that was flying in mid air, dropped into the water. A man wearing an aviators uniform, and a knights helmet with a propeller on top. The knight gave a bow to Mimic. "Mimic my old friend! How are thee!" The Propeller Knight asked.

"I'm well. I asked you here because my niece, Shantae, has been kidnapped." Mimic said.

"Oh dear. That's not good at all!" The Knight pulled out a fencing sword, "How may I help?"

Mimic motioned to Bolo, "My friend here wishes to look for her as well. Could you take him to your air ship and help search the oceans for her?"

"Any friend of Mimics is a friend of mine!" Propeller Knight said, "Come young Bolo! Shantae won't wait to be found!" Propeller Knight grabbed Bolo's wrist and flew to his ship. Sending it up in the air, and off to search the seas.

I know this ain't the update you were expecting, but give me time. I got school n stuff.
