*knock knock*
"Who could THAT be?" Jim asked.
"I don't know." Fangpuss said, shrugging, then called to the door. "Who is it?"
"Police! Open up!" A gruff voice yelled.
"Obviously, it's not the pizza boy!" Fangpuss then grabbed Jim. "Time to go!"
"But what about the-" Jim began to ask, but was cut off when Fangpuss jumped out the window. "AUGH!"
The police broke open the door, searching the room. The pizza boy was with them. "Where are they?" he shouted, angrily. "They owe me for that pizza!"
"They must've escaped." One of the officers said, then turned to the others. "Search the building, men! They couldn't have gotten far!"
Outside, Fangpuss and Jim popped out of a thorn bush... ouch. "Never. Do that. Again!" Jim hissed at Fangpuss.
"C'mon, we'll go hide out at my house." Fangpuss said, as he and Jim snuck down the alley.
"What about the movie?"
Fangpuss paused. "Hmm, good point. ...We'll come back tonight. Right now, we've got to get to my place without being caught." He looked at a picture of the sun (which he kept in his pocket) and turned into Baby- I mean, B.F. "Good thing I have two identities!"
Jim rolled his eyes. "Yeah, rub it in."
"I heard something over here!" They heard one of the officers call.
"Time to go!" B.F. said, and he and Jim took off.
...Leaving the movie still running!
"I spoke with the police." Biff said, walking into the lounge of Delbert's home. "Those pirates were nowhere to be found, and they couldn't find a trace." He looked at Sarah and sighed. "I'm sorry, Mrs. Hawkins. The Benbow has been burned to the ground."
Kite put his arm around his mother. "Don't worry, Mom. We'll find some way to get through this... and we'll catch the scoundrels who burned down the inn!" he said... more serious than he expected.
"It sure was a lot of trouble over that odd little sphere." Delbert said, looking over at Fangs who was holding the map and messing with it.
"Man, I hate these things!" Fangs muttered, pushing buttons and trying to twist the map. "This is worse than a Rubix Cube! ...Hey, Doc, you think you can solve this thing?"
"Let me try," Kite sighed, grabbing the map.
"I'm sorry, Fangs, those markings are foreign in my line of work," Delbert said as Kite messed with the map. "Baffling, really. Even with my interior intellect, it could take me YEARS to unlock it's-"
"Got it!" Kite twisted the map, and the holographic images rose out of the globe and covered the room.
"Lucky try," Fangs huffed in jealousy.
"Hey, look! Here's Montressor!" Biff said, guiding everyone's attention to the holographic image of the planet. Tapping it, he caused several other images to zip by. "Whoa!"
"That's the Magalenic Cloud!" Kite said, pointing to another hologram.
"Whoa! ... The corral galaxy!" Delbert pointed out.
A holographic image appeared in front of Fangs. "Yikes!" he yelped, jumping into Kite's arms. "What is this, holographic dodgeball?"
"That was only Zignus Cross, Fangs." Kite scoffed, setting Fangs back on his feet. "Nothing to be scared of."
"There's Kinapis..." Delbert continued. Suddenly, an odd-looking- yet familiar- planet appeared. "Wait, what's this?"
"Why, it's..." Biff gasped, but couldn't get the words out.
"It's..." Fangs tried to finish for Biff, but was too awestruck.
"Treasure Planet!" Kite said, a grin spreading across his place.
"No..." Delbert said in disbelief, just as amazed as the others.
"That's Treasure Planet!" Kite and Fangs said in unison.
"Flint's trove? The loot of a thousand worlds?"
"You know what THIS means," Biff said, giving his friends a smirk.
"It means, all that treasure is only a boat-ride away," Kite said.
"Whoever brings it back would be the Pantheon of explorers!" Delbert said, dramatically. "He'd be able to experience-"
Suddenly, all the holographic images snapped back into the sphere. "Whoa! That was unexpected." Fangs said, jumping a bit.
"Kite, your bracelet!" Sarah gasped, pointing to Kite's bracelet- it was glowing!
"Huh! It's never done THAT before..." Kite said, eyeing the bracelet.
"Wait, wait, let me see that," Delbert said, grabbing a book while examining Kite's bracelet. He found the chapter he was looking for. "Why... I don't believe it!"
"What?"
"Your bracelet... it's just like the one in this book!" Delbert opened the book wider, showing a holographic image of a bracelet that looked exactly like Kite's. "According to legends, that bracelet is the key to anyone's desires! ...And, if this book is correct, it was the only remaining token that was ever taken off of Treasure Planet!"
"I don't remember THAT being part of the movie," Fangs whispered to Biff, who shrugged just as confused.
"Key to desires?" Kite asked, arching an eyebrow.
"They say Flint invented several bracelets that, when activated, led him to anything someone wanted the most- depending on who was wearing it." Delbert explained. "It basically works as a map, only rather than giving directions to a certain place, it launches a mental picture of where someone could find something they wanted. ...At least, that's what the legends say."
"(grr) Sounds like Jack Sparrow's compass, to me," Kitefang said mentally.
Kite grinned. "So, say we wanted to find the treasure, and we combined my bracelet with that map..." He started to say.
"I know where you're going with this!" Sarah said firmly. "And if you think I'm going to let you risk your life going on some voyage, there is absolutely NO WAY-"
"But don't you remember? All those stories?" Fangs said.
"And that legend?" Kite added.
"That's all it is: stories and legends!" Sarah argued.
"But it could be true! With that treasure, we could re-build the Benbow."
"Yeah, maybe even build two! Or three! Or a dozen! Or a hundred! Or-" Fangs said excitedly, but Kite clapped his hand over his mouth before he could ramble on.
"That's- oh, this is- Delbert, Biff? Could you help me out, here?" Sarah sputtered.
"It's totally preposterous, traversing the entire galaxy alone," Delbert said, professionally.
"Yeah, going on some long journey across space- it's just crazy!" Biff added with a scoff.
"Now, at last we hear some sense!" Sarah said, triumphantly. Kite rolled his eyes, and Fangs snapped his fingers in a 'dang it!' sort of way.
"That's why I'm going with you!" Delbert added quickly, grabbing a bag.
"Count me in, too!" Biff said, grinning. "And adventure like this only comes around once in a while."
"Delbert! Biff!" Sarah snapped in shock. Kite and Fangs smiled.
"I'll use my savings to finance an expedition-" Delbert said, running through the room loading whatever he could find into his bag.
"I'll call the port and find a ship-" Biff said, finding a bag and loading some of his things in it as well.
"Hire a captain-"
"-And a crew..."
"You two CAN'T be serious!" Sarah scoffed.
"This is the opportunity of a lifetime, Mrs. Hawkins!"
"Yes, and all MY lifetime I've been dreaming of an adventure like this!" Delbert cried out happily, sliding down the mountain of books he climbed on. "And here it is screaming: 'Go Delbert! Go Delbert! Go-'" (he did his little dance as he said this. Fangs nearly fell on the floor, laughing- his favorite part!)
"Okay that's it! You're ALL grounded!" Sarah snapped, then heaved a large sigh.
"Mom..." Kite said, sighing. "Listen, I know we've been nothing but trouble over the years..."
"And by 'we' we mean Fangface and Kitefang," Fangs said, then he clutched his head. "Ow, headache! ...Darn it, Fangface..."
"But we want to make things right, and this might be the only chance we'll get. We want to change, and make you proud."
"Yeah, please give us this chance."
"I don't know..." Sarah sighed.
"(Ahem) Sarah? If I may...?" Delbert said, motioning Sarah over. "You said it yourself- you've tried everything! There's much worse remedies than a few character-building months in space."
"Them namely revolving around the 'prison' category," Biff said, jumping into the conversation. "Besides, I know Fangface and Kitefang just as well as you do, and I know it's practically THEM talking through Kite and Fangs."
Sarah looked over at Kite and Fangs, who were giving her innocent, shimmering-eyed looks (a/n: and looking cute too). "Guys, I don't want to lose you..." She sighed, putting her hands on their shoulders.
"Mom... you won't." Kite said, holding Sarah's hand. "We'll find that treasure..."
"And we won't screw up this time," Fangs added.
"And we'll make you proud."
Sarah smiled at them, almost close to tears. Delbert clapped his hands together and cleared his throat. "Well, there we are then." he said. "Biff and I will make the preparations at once."
"Guess we're going to have another adventure guys." Biff said, wrapping his arms around Kite and Fangs' shoulders. "Soon, we'll be off to the spaceport."
Now, the spaceport, if you've seen the movie, looks like the moon from a far distance, so you can pretty much guess what happened when Kite and Fangs saw it from Delbert's window.
"Arrooooooooooo!" The two werewolves howled.
"Where's-" Fangface began, then paused, sorrow overcoming him. Oh, yeah... Puggsy's not around... he thought sadly.
"Where's what, Fangface?" Delbert asked.
"Um, where's... the bathroom! (grr) Yeah, where's the bathroom?"
"Down the hall to the left. ...You always ask that when you transform." he leaned over to Sarah, whispering. "Does he have some sort of long-term memory loss?"
"I don't know, maybe." Sarah whispered back, shrugging.
"Thanks, (grr)" Fangface said, walking down the hallway. When he was out of the room, he looked out the window, at the stars above. "Oh, Pugs, where are you?"
The pirate crew had escaped, residing in a rundown Inn at the farthest end of the spaceport for the night. Puggsy sat in a room he was sharing with Silver, sitting in a chair resting his head against his fist, watching the old cyborg pace around the room.
"Blast it, blast it, blast it!" Silver kept muttering. "We were so close! If we'd gotten tah t'at bone-brained twit earlier!"
Morph floated up to Puggsy, who held out his other hand for him to perch on. "Yeah, all that searching for nothing," he scoffed.
"Nothing! Nothing!" Morph repeated.
"Don't t'ink I'm givin' up so easily, Pugs," Silver growled. "First t'ing tomorrow, we're goin' back tah t'at planet an' trackin' down deh dolts who ran off wit' deh map! ...If they don't hand it over, I'll use me arm-cannon tah blast 'em tah kingdom come!"
Puggsy shook his head and sighed. "You're going about this too rash, Silver," he said, standing up. "If you use force, we'll never get even a thousand miles near that treasure. Just calm down and think... Those people have the map, right? So, they'll be going after the treasure themselves."
"Don't remind me,"
"BUT... they'll need to hire a crew to help them locarate it."
Silver rubbed his chin, considering Puggsy's words, and the gears in his head began to turn (no pun intended) and he grinned. "And I know just deh perfect crew fer them tah hire." he patted Puggsy on the back. "Good t'inkin', Pugs! What would I do wit'out ya?"
Puggsy smirked. "Eh, probably end up in prison, somewheres."
Silver chuckled and walked out of the room down the hall. Puggsy heaved a large sigh and sank back down in his chair, Morph floated up to him, chattering. "Looks like I've helped us get into another mishap, eh Morph?" he said, tickling the blob under his 'chin' (or the area where his chin would be).
Morph chattered and turned into a miniature Puggsy at age fifteen, running from something with tiny lasers being shot at him, then turned back to his regular shape and gave the teenager a concerned look.
Puggsy shook his head. "Nah, I don't think it'll be as bad as THAT. ...At least, I hope not."
"You'd BETTER hope not..." A sinister voice said from the doorway, and there stood Scroop, glaring at Puggsy. "If you ssscrew up like you did LASSST time, there will be dire consssequences." he raised his claw to prove his point.
"Ah, why don't you go ssspin a web, Spider Psycho?" Puggsy sneered, mimicking Scroop's accent.
Scroop hissed and grabbed Puggsy by the shirt collar, pinning him against the wall and raising his other claw up to his throat. "Watch it, boy. SSSilver may not like to have blood on hisss handsss, but I don't mind. Do I make myssself clear?" Puggsy nodded nervously. "Good." He dropped him on the floor and left the room.
Puggsy glowered in his direction. "Crysstal clear," he muttered under his breath. "Man, he's worse than Fangface, Kitefang, and Fangpuss put together!"
Morph chattered curiously, turning into a question mark.
"Eh, never mind, Morph. (Sigh) They're just some friends I used to know..." He stood up and walked toward the window, looking out at the stars, then said quietly, "Ah, Fangface, where are ya?"
A/N: Aw, the two friends miss each other! *sniffle* (blows nose) How cute. ...Alright, what will happen next? What strange event were Morph and Scroop referring to about Puggsy? Will the gang be reunited? And how long will Fangpuss and Jim hide from the cops, and will they see the rest of the movie? Okay, read and review, or you won't get any answers! ...And no flames, or I'LL blast ya to kingdom come! (And don't think I won't)
Special thanks to Fangface the Second for some dialogue ideas for this chapter *gives the author a thumbs up*
