MC: Yep, but before we begin. There's a little notice we have to give you all.

Wait. There is?

MC:We were talking about it earlier today, remember?

Oh...

MC: Yeah. Cause apparently I'll be occupied for most of the day with more personal stuff, so when that moment comes. I'll leave it up to Nellie to finish the rest of the chapter on her own.

Uh, yeah. Right... so, on with the chapter!

Disclaimer: You know it already...

Chapter 9: Shell troubles

Blake grinned as he showed Lizzy and Charlie the magic shell he had snatched up. They were both amazed by the shine of it, who knows what this thing could do?

"So, you're planning to use a shell to summon a great demon that lives on this island?" Lizzy asked.

"And you're planning to use said beast to conquer Never Land?" Charlie also added.

The evil pirate boy nodded, "Exactly."

"But what if that girl comes looking for it again?"

"Oh, we'll make certain that she doesn't."

As he stared at the gleaming shell, he suddenly got a most devious idea. And judging from how he chuckled, it sounded very dark...

Meanwhile, Peter, Willow, and Shawn K. were all taking a stroll on a path in the forest, just the three of them. Completely unaware that their being followed. "So, Shawn. How are things between you and Radia?" Willow asked.

"Well, were getting there." Was his answer.

"But they love each other no matter what." Peter added teasingly.

The princess giggled a little, "Well, as long as you two are happy, then I'm happy. You know, it's a good thing I haven't seen that mean Count Drake around here."

"Yeah.. That would cause severe trouble."

"I know... besides, I believe he's on his own vacation."

"Like what?"

Willow shrugged, "I don't know. What do you think villains do while they're on vacation?" Shawn just shrugged. As the trio began to walk, Peter began to notice some things... such as the leaves blowing around, yet there was no wind or breeze. Which was very odd.

Next thing you know, the trees around them start to shake. What was going on now?

"Uh... guys..." Peter got his friends attention as they too noticed the strange things happening around them.

"What on earth is happening?" Willow spoke.

"I don't know, but I doubt it's global warming." Shawn replied.

Suddenly, the trio heard chuckling... evil chuckling. Something that sounded all too familiar to all three of them.

Peter took out his dagger for protection, "Who goes there?! Captain Hook?"

"Count Drake?" Willow asked timidly.

"Hollywood Shawn?" Shawn asked with annoyance in his tone.

That voice chuckled, "Oh, I am more than those losers!" That's when something jumped on top of a big rock, thus revealing himself... to be Blake! Jake's most hated enemy.

The trio gasped in shock as Peter stepped forward, "What are you doing here?" He demanded.

Blake smirked, "Oh I have my own matters."

"My memory is a little foggy. Who is this again?" Willow asked.

Peter began to explain, "A villains..." Was all he said.

As for said villain, he began to approach our friends with a menacing grin on his face. They, in response, started to back away, but Peter and Shawn stood in front of Willow to protect her.

"Back off Blake." Shawn warned him.

But the evil boy laughed as he held up the magic shell. "Does this look familiar?!"

Willow gasped when she saw that, "That's Maylea's shell! Where did you get that?"

"Let's just say she accidentally dropped it during yesterday's near tidal wave collision incident."

but before he could even say a thing, the shell shot out a beam that struck him head first. "Ow.." Was all he said before falling over. Willow gasped in shock, as Peter drew his sword and charged at Blake, "How dare you do that to my friend?!" But the villain shot a beam at him as well, striking down Peter as well. Blake laughed evilly.

Now feeling on her own, Willow took out her wand for protection, but Blake then smacked that out of hand with the shell, leaving her completely defenseless. But now, Blake decided to have a little fun... dirty fun. However before he could even attempt to doing so, somebody grabbed him from behind. it was Peter and Shawn as they were trying to restrain him.

"Hey, let go!" He barked.

But the two just tightened their grips. As this occurred, we currently find hiding behind the bushes a familiar trio of troublemakers watching all of this unfold. And the leader smirked, "You know, I think we should help that kid out."

The other two agreed, and with that, they proceeded to pull out some cans of spray paint. Preparing to strike, "Okay, on the count of three. We jump out and take them down! Any questions?"

One of them raised their hand, And Hollywood sighed, knowing who it was. "Yeah, Homer.."

"Um, can I at least get a beer first?" Was the question. Hollywood just groaned as he signaled Mokuba to do the usual thing he does when Homer says something stupid. he gave the man a good smack on the head.

Soon, the New Cartoon Order struck!

They all leaped out of the bush, and striking down both Peter and Shawn K. as Hollywood helped Blake before he could hit the ground. Willow was shocked to see this, "What in the world? Who are you?" She asked.

Hollywood smirked, "Toots! You are looking at the New Cartoon Order! And I'm Hollywood Shawn! The leader!"

"Not to mention my annoying double!" Shawn K. spoke.

Hollywood glared at him, "Shut up!"

As for Blake, he got up and shook the othe villains hand, "Say, thanks for the help, matey,"

"My pleasure, boy... and now..." Hollywood suddenly picked up the shell, "We'll be taking this."

Blake then gasped and growled, "Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! What do you think you're doing with that. That belongs to me!"

Willow frowned, "That shell belongs to Maylea!"

"Well, now it belongs to me! With this, I can used this to get what I want... Radia!"

Shawn K. didn't like the sound of that. "Don't even think about it, Hollywood..." He warned.

But then Blake grabbed the shell out of his hands, and held it close, "Nobody is getting this shell, but me! So all of you back off!" He snarled, starting to back away. But then, he received a devastating punch to the jaw. As Hollywood grabbed the shell, "Alright Mokuba, do what you do best. And kill him."

The twelve year old nodded as he advanced towards the pirate boy, who just smirked as he drew... what looked like a small scepter, "Take one more step... and you're dead!"

Mokuba froze in his tracks, but when it looked like Blake had an advantage, he felt something being jabbed hard in the back. But he smirked as he shot a beam from the scepter, striking Homer and knocking him out. He did the same with Mokuba, but to Blake's complete shock, the two weren't fazed at all. They were stunned at the most. Suddenly, the boy used the scepter to raise them high in the air, much to Hollywood's shock.

It looked like Blake was about to win, but if only he knew that whenever the New Cartoon Order fights, they win no matter what. But he wouldn't, nor didn't care, "I think it's time for you guys to take a swim... a nice LONG swim!"

With that, he used the scepter to fling the two far far away, until a splash was heard. Blake then pointed the scepter at Hollywood, "And if you know what's good for you, you surrender that shell to me, right now."

But Hollywood just smirked, as he instead raises his arms. And hits a swift shot to the neck, extremely hard. But Blake smirked as he was unfazed, and zapped the other villain and raise him high in the air, "I think you need a swim as well." He then flung him faraway, and in the process, got the shell back.

That wasn't so hard.

"Well, I had better get back to work... but as for you three..." He pointed his scepter towards Peter, Shawn, and Willow, and all of a sudden, they were tied up with tree vines.

They couldn't get away or break free, and what w as worse, was that they were hanging upside down from a tree. Blake chuckled at all of them, "Hope all that blood doesn't rush down to your head."

"Blake, you have to return that shell to Maylea!" Willow told him.

"And why should I?!"

"Because belongs to her, and it belongs to the volcano too."

But as expected, Blake only scoffed, "Do I care?! Nope."

Peter glared, "Of course you don't, you don't care about anything but yourself! Heck, you barely care about your own mateys."

That response earned Peter a massive slice along the face by Blake's dagger, as the boy began to protest, "Of course I care about them. Why would you even think to even asking me that?!"

Shawn had an answer to that, "Perhaps he doesn't want them getting in your way of getting what you desire most."

Blake wanted to attack. To kill all of them. But he had other things to attend to. So he just flipped the bird at them (I think you should know what this means), and left.

As for the trio, they were not only left at the tree to hang upside down, but with no way to escape, "Okay, what should we do now, boys?" Willow asked.

"There's only one other option. Call for help!" Shawn spoke.

But who knows how long it would take for help to come... and what could Blake be up the magic shell?

Again... we apologize for making you wait all day long for this chapter.

MC: Yeah.. But thank god we got this done on time.

Right... and it looks like Blake has the upperhand for now. Uh, MC, would you like to wrap this chapter up?

MC: Sure. How will our three friends escape, will Blake succeed in his plan, and what kind of plan does the New Cartoon Order have in store? All these questions will be answered in the next chapter. Till then, later!

And don't forget to review, please. Thank you.
