Chapter 4—Pulling A Fast One On Hook
Before steering the ship toward Mechanus, James T. Hook had arrived in the Jolly Roger. Peter and his friends were a bit tied up at the moment, unable to help their friends. 'Sorry to be late, but I've come to take what's mine. Looks like Cresent and Nightshade are no longer an issue.', James said, preparing to engage the whole lot of them. 'We don't wish to fight you. But we will if we must.', Tommy warned. 'Duly noted, Ranger, but I don't care.', James retorted, curtly, his lips curled in wanton desire of the Shards. This was one pirate who would stop at nothing to control the entire Dream Dimension and rewrite everything according to his greedy rules. Without even warranting a chance for the Ranger's vessel to prepare for an attack, the Roger began a wave of cannon fire. Tommy and the others realized that they had the ability to do anything they wished, so he played his old Dragon Dagger, forming a shield around them. The barrage that had been intended for their ship ricocheted and damaged the Roger. 'Playing dirty huh ? Figured out the only limits are your imagination ? How clever and utterly twisted. Let's play then.', hook growled. Another barrage of cannons whizzed at their vessel, but Kirby ate them, transforming into a giant bomb. 'Quick, toss him !', Klonoa said, passing Kirby off like a hot potato, to Knights who threw him aboard the Roger. It didn't take long for Kirby to blow the Jolly Roger sky high. Hook, Smee and crew fell into the Mermaid Lagoon thousands of miles below them. Peter and the others were caught by Knights and his friends, untied and ungagged. 'Sorry we couldn't have been of assistance. You though, what you did was capital ! ', John complimented. Peter affirmed them and gave them his best impish smile. 'Boy, ol' Hook certainly didn't see that coming !', he laughed, slapping his knee. 'Next stop, Mechanus.', Somnibot alerted, steering the ship to its next course.
