by sultal

Jim Hawkins, Wendy Darling, Ariel Triton, Peter Pan - and their children. Return of high school, Magic Bag of Tricks, shadow working magic... death of Fantasia. Once and for all: will the realms close? Will they remain open? Will the guardians ever be together? Or is happily ever after out of reach? (Unless you have a storyteller on your side...or under your control).

10. Ch 10: NLM – We Won?

Chapter 10: Neverland Misadventures – We Won?

The battle was pretty goddamn epic.

It was also really short. By the time Peter caught up, Flint was gone, Ariel had been rescued, and Shadow was doing victory laps around the splintered pirate ship.

Peter had watched the battle from afar. It had been a little bloody (especially for the pirates), but incredibly entertaining. Peter gave it 7 out of 10 stars. (Popcorn would have brought it to a solid 8, but a fun viewing experience overall)!

The battle unfolded as such:

(1) Jim's rouge comet smashed into Flint's pirate ship.

(2) There were actually two pirate ships (one for Ironbeard, and one for Flint), and when Jim's comet smashed into Flint's ship, Flint's ship smashed into Ironbeard's.

(3) Both pirate ships vaulted outside of the Etherium (breathable space).

(4) Jim followed with the rouge comet.

(5) No one could breathe.

(6) Everyone began suffocating (except for Shadow, Ironbeard and, to an extent, Silver)

(7) Jim rammed Flint's ship again, flipping it over.

(8) Everyone on Flint's ship tumbled onto Ironbeard's ship.

(9) Peter laughed is butt off.

(10) The pirates retaliated! They fought back!

(11) Wendy unleashed Shadow.

(12) Shadow attacked the pirates.

(13) The pirates relieved their worst memories.

(14) The pirates cried like babies.

(15) Ariel and Jumba were rescued (Jumba still held Ariel's trident).

(16) The Fantasians boarded Flint's ship.

(17) Jim flung the rouge comet at Ironbeard's ship.

(18) The pirates disappeared into space...Jim's rouge comet on their tail.

WOW, eighteen points! That's a lot – especially for a battle that could have been summarized as:

'The Fantasians won,'

'The Fantasians got Flint's ship,'

'The Fantasians kicked the pirates to kingdom come.'

Except...the Fantasians didn't kick the pirates to kingdom come.

They kicked them to the Black Hole.

Yes, the Black Hole containing Captain Hook, undead villains, nightmares, and shadows.

Uh oh.

Dumping the pirates into the Black Hole was a good idea (at least in theory), and it certainly helped the Fantasians win their first Neverland misadventure.

However, when Jim's rouge comet pushed the pirates into the Black Hole, the impact created energy.

A lot of energy.

So much energy in fact, the Black Hole shuddered, throbbed...and slowly reversed its spin.

But the Fantasians didn't notice. They were too far away. And they were too busy celebrating as Long John Silver sailed Flint's ship to the Royal Etherium Federation.
