Chapter 4: The Silver Shark

Gwen's POV...

"Gwen get up! Its brekkie time."

"Go awayyyy." I pulled my pillow over my head, trying to block Julie out.

"I'm sorry, but you brought this on yourself." Julie said. Then she walked out of our room. Why would she be sorry for leaving me alone? That's what ive been wanting her to do. At least I can sleep peacefully now. I heard Julie come back into the room. What now? I thought, without opening my eyes.

"AAAAAAAAAH!" I screamed when I felt Julie throw the cold water on me.

"Good, you're awake. Now let's go get some breakfast." She said way too cheerfully.

"Can't I change first!?" I asked, dripping.

"No, we'll be late. You can change after breakfast." We walked out of the room, heading to the eating room.

"Did you really have to pour water on my head?"

"What else was I supposed to do? You wouldn't get up!" She argued.

"Maybe, I don't know, ask me to get up MORE THAN ONCE!?"

"Sheesh, you are so not a morning person." We grabbed our food and sat down at the table where our friends sat. I sat across from Kevin, avoiding his eyes.

"What happened to you?" Rob asked, referring to my wet clothes.

"Julie thought my face was like dehydrated or something so she poured a bucket of water on my head."

"She would not wake up!" Julie exclaimed. Ben laughed.

We all picked at our breakfast in an awkward silence.

"Ok, what is going on? You guys are like really quiet and it's really scaring me." Shaun said.

"Oh nothing, except me and Julie found Gwen and Kevin kissing last night." Ben said, smirking at Kevin who glared at him.

"OoooOOOOooo" Shaun and Rob said in unison. I blushed.

"Shut up, we weren't kissing. And you forgot to mention how you and Julie were holding hands." Kevin added.

"You saw us!?" Julie looked surprised.

Kevin laughed. "No. I was just making it up."

Ben groaned and looked at Julie. sorry she mouthed. Everyone else laughed.

"ANYWAYS..."Rob started. Everyone looked at him. "I don't know. Us talking about them being lovebirds is making me sad. I haven't had a date since Maria left the ship." He made a sad face. Whos Maria?

"Maria was a girl on the crew, but she stole a rowboat and rowed away." Shaun explained.

"I think Rob needs a group hug." Julie announced. Everbody except Kevin hugged Rob.

"Guys hugging other guys is just gay." He said.

"What are you trying to say here Kevin?" Shaun asked him.

"I'm saying you're gay. Do you have a problem with that?''

"What if I do? What you gonna do, beat me up? Huh punk? you gonna do that?" Shaun asked.

The guys got up and got in each other's faces. then they looked away while slapping the air between them for about ten seconds. After, they sat back down. they are hilarious!

"That was exhausting." Kevin said sarcastically.

"Hey lets go on the deck, The cafeteria smells all funky." Ben suggested.

We all headed toward the deck. Who says funky anymore?

Kevin's POV...

Who says funky anymore? Seriously what a retarded word.

"It's so nice out here." Gwen said.

"Are you kidding me, its like ninety degrees out!" I said.

"Would you rather have it twenty degrees out?" She asked me.

"It would be better than ninety!" That started a huge argument about whether extreme coldness or extreme hotness is worse. I defy the laws of nature, Im both cool and hot.

Rob was staring out at the ocean with his mouth open. "Hello earth to Rob? What are you doing?" Gwen asked him. He pointed. We all looked.

There, heading our direction was a very large ship with The Silver Shark written across it in faded letters.

Ben's POV...

Rob ran to tell his uncle what he had seen. The rest of us just ran around in circles, yelling. Soon the captain was out yelling orders to everyone. I ran with the other guys to get swords. When we came back out, the enemy ship was very close. We heard the other ship's crew screaming, getting ready to attack. Where's Julie? and Gwen?

The Silver Shark rammed into our ship and soon pirates from the other ship jumped onto our ship. More and more came. Their captain told us to surrender now and they wouldn't kill us. In reply we charged at them.

A slob with rotting teeth and torn shirt spotted me and attempted to cut my arm. Luckily for me I had taken fencing lessons when I was ten. Of course I had quit a year later, and I don't remember much, but still. This guy was not a professional swordsman either. I backed him up against the ship's railing and he fell overboard with a splash.

I looked around searching for Julie. Or anyone else I knew. But all I saw were people getting hurt, and getting tossed overboard. I could not search any longer because a pirate with a long goatee was running at me. I looked down at my omnitrix. I should wait until I really need it.

The goatee man had cornered me. He knocked my sword into the air. He chuckled evilly. I was about to hit my alien watch when the pirate gave a loud grunt of pain and fell. I looked up and Shaun handed my sword back to me. "You might need this." I started to say thanks but he was off, fighting another guy with dreadlocks.

Just then I spotted Julie. She had just thrown an unconcious enemy overboard and was smiling triumphantly. What she did not know was that a large pole had been cracked and was now about to fall and smash her. I have to save her. But she's on the other side of the ship. It's time for... Big chill! I slammed my hand down on my watch and my transformation began. I flew across the ship, with people looking at me in awe, freezing people I knew were enemies as I passed them. I froze the pole just as it was about to knock Julie out. When she turned around she screamed and passed out. I have to get her somewhere safe. I looked up and suddenly knew where to put her.

Kevin's POV...

This is too easy. The wimpy pirate jumped off the ship in fear. I turned to the next guy and started fighting him. Unfortunately he was four times bigger than me. But you know what they say, the bigger they are the harder they fall. About three feet away was Gwen. She was fighting a freakishly muscular man also. Except there was a particularly slim person sneaking up on her. That little coward!

I struck the man I was fighting across the face and he fell. I reached down and absorbed the guy's sword. Just as the skinny guy was about to bring his sword down on Gwen's head I took his weapon and broke it in half with my steel hands. The swordless man jumped over the railing. So did the man fighting Gwen who had seen what I just did. Gwenn's eyes widened when she saw me (great now she thinks im a freak too.) but said "Kevin look out!"

I turned around and three guys were charging at me. I closed my eyes getting ready for the blow but it never came. I was surrounded by a purplish pinkish light. Then Gwen threw purplish pinkish disks at the three pirates and they fell, dead. In a few minutes, the very few remaining pirates from the other ship retreated and sped away, leaving us with the lifeless bodies of their crew.

The Renegade was safe once again.
