Chapter 10

Ambush and Portal

The group went back to camp quietly to make sure the pirates didn't hear them. Jim was the first one out of the hole. Ariel pulled B.E.N. up so he could get up. The cabin boy ran towards the shadow of Dr. Doppler and said, "Doc! Doc, wake up! We got the map." As he showed the golden sphere to the shadow. Just when things were looking up, a robotic hand appeared and the shadow emerged to be none other than Silver. He grabbed the map and said, "Fine work, Jimbo. Fine work indeed." Jim looked around to find Amelia and Delbert tied up with a white cloth tied to their face. The red head looked around as well and thought, 'An ambush.' She ran towards Jim so that maybe she could help him I anyway. Some of the pirates were closing on Jim and one said, "Thanks for showing us the way in, kids." Turnbuckle grabbed Jim using all of his six tentacles. "Jim!" yelled the red head as she tried to reach for Jim, but, it was in vain when the chubby alien pirate grabbed her from behind and chuckled evilly. Morph saw this and growled then he bit his tail. The pirate yelled in pain and the pink blob was willing to fight this pirate. He then got smack by the pirate's tail and began yelping. He went to Jim's pocket and he tried his best to save Ariel. The other pirate asked about the robot. "What's this sorry stack of metal?" B.E.N pleaded, "Not the face!" The cyborg chucked the map, looks at the cabin boy straight in his face and said, "You're just like me, Jimbo. Ya hates to lose." Ariel got mad and said, "He's nothing like you…you…bloody pirate!" As she tried to break free from the pirate's grip. The scallywag walked towards the red head with a smirk, grabbed her chin, and said, "You really do look like your mother." The red head was beyond mad, she was furious and she bit the hand. Silver yelled in pain as he pulled his hand away and rubbed it. Ariel gave him a scowl and the chubby pirate tightens the grip.

He chuckled and thought, 'No matter. I got the map.' He tried twist the sphere but it wouldn't open. He then used the tools on his robotic arm and still it wouldn't open. "What the devil's the" He looked at Jim who shook his head with a smirk and said, "Open it." Turnbuckle let go of the cabin boy and the cyborg handed the map to Jim. The cabin boy was not opening the map and Silver's robotic eye glowed red as his anger rose. Jim made a dark scowl ad thought, 'No way, I will open the map for a pirate.' Silver was going to have to motivate Jim; he turned his robotic hand into a laser pistol and said, "I'd get busy." The cyborg grabbed Ariel and threw her to the ground as he pointed the pistol at her. Jim knew that he couldn't risk her, he cared about her and…loved her but he couldn't tell her because Silver already knew his weakness. The scallywag cocked his pistol and Ariel looked at Jim with a scared face. Jim had no choice and he began to push the circles and spin half of the map. The map energy made the hologram of the legendary planet. The crew was struck by it and the cyborg's robotic eye glowed white and said, "Oh, the powers that be. Would you look?" Ariel got up and went to hug Jim tightly to feel safe. The hologram turned into a trail that was blinking telling the crew how close they were to the treasure. Silver saw the trail, looked back at his pirate crew and said, "Tie him up and leave him with the others till we-what?"

The trail began to disappear as Jim closed the map. He knew that without the map, Silver was never going to have his treasure and said, "You want the map, you're taking me, too." The scallywag was frustrated and he knew what the cabin boy was doing. He chuckled and said, "We'll take 'em all." Everyone went on the longboat and followed the trail that the map made. They stopped in front of giant bamboo. One of the pirates stayed on the longboat to guard the doctor and Captain. The red head jumped out of the longboat along with Jim. The cabin boy grabbed her hand and said, "I'm sorry Ariel, I couldn't risk losing you." As he dropped his head in defeat. Ariel smiled, grabbed his arm, and said, "I would've done the same." He lifted his head and smiled at her. The pink blob was whimpering in the cabin boy's pocket. Jim patted Morph and said, "It's OK, Morph. It's OK." B.E.N was starting to freak out and said, "Jimmy, I-I don't know about you but I'm starting to see my life pass in front of my eyes. At least, I think it's my life." He then started to go crazy and yelled, "Was I ever dancing with an android named Lupe?" Ariel put her hand on the robot's mouth and said, "B.E.N., shh." Jim was working on a plan and whispered, "This isn't over yet." Silver saw the trail blinking fast and knew that they close to the treasure. It was blinking very fast and the cyborg couldn't wait. "We're gettin' close, lads. I smell treasure a-waitin'." He turned his robotic hand into a sword, grabbed Jim on his shirt, and start swinging at the giant bamboo.

When the crew got through, they saw the blinking trail pointing at nothing. The crew started to get angry that there was no treasure. "Where is it?" asked the cyborg as he was baffled to find that there was no treasure to be found. Onus was getting mad and yelled, "I see nothing! One great, big stinking hunk of nothing!" Silver thought that Jim was up to something when the map's energy went back into the sphere. "What's going on, Jimbo?" The cabin boy tried to open the sphere the way he did before but it wouldn't open. "I don't know. I can't get it open." One of the pirates pushed Jim to the ground and said, "We should've never followed this boy!" The red head yelled, "Hey!" Jim saw a hole with strange markings and it almost looked like the markings on the map. Silver was getting impatient and said, "I'd suggest you get that gizmo going again and fast!" The cabin boy looked at the map and then back at the hole, he then thought, 'Maybe…' The pirates were getting angry and one of them said, "Let's rip his gizzard right out right now!" Onus couldn't agree more and yelled, "Throw him off the cliff!" B.E.N. started to worry and Ariel said, "Jim, do something. Quick." Jim placed the map in the hole and green energy waved through the ground. Then the map made a sphere green hologram of different places. Ariel saw the green energy heading towards them and the energy went up the mountain. Then the energy made a triangle portal and it showed a water galaxy. Silver couldn't believe what he just saw and said, "Oh, have mercy."Jim knew what the place was but couldn't believe that it was so close. "The Lagoon Nebula?" The scallywag then said, "But that's halfway across the galaxy."

The cabin boy remembered what the robot said as he touched the pictures on the holo-sphere. "A big door, opening and closing." The red head saw a picture of Atlantica and touched it. The door closed and opened to show the underwater place. She wanted to cry because she missed her home so much. But she wasn't going to cry when the pirate crew was watching the door opening and closing. Jim looked at the other places that were on the glowing sphere. "Let's see. Kinapis." He then saw his home planet spaceport and touched the picture. "Montressor spaceport." The portal then showed the spaceport and the cabin boy figured it out and said, "So that's how Flint did it. He used this portal to roam the universe stealing treasure." The cyborg shoved Jim and asked, "But where'd he stash it all?" He then started to touch the pictures to find the loot of a thousand worlds. "Where's that blasted treasure?" When B.E.N. heard that word he was trying to remember. "Treasure! Treasure! It's buried in the" The red head finished what robot was going to say, "Buried in the centroid of the mechanism." Jim rubbed his chin and then he got it. "What if the whole planet is the mechanism and the treasure is buried in the center of this planet?" Trying to dig to the center of the planet that is made out of metal was not going to be an easy task. Silver yelled as he tried to find the treasure, "And how in blue blazes are we supposed to get there?" Jim lightly pushed the scallywag and said, "Just open the right door." He touched the picture of the legendary planet and the portal showed machines. The cabin boy put his arm through the portal. Silver grabbed his shoulder and went through the portal as well.

Little did he know that he was passing through a detector of some sort? Ariel and B.E.N. went through the portal as well to catch up with the cabin boy. When the crew saw the dubloons and solar crystals, they went into frenzy. Silver saw all the treasure and said, "The loot of a thousand worlds." Little did the crew know that they were going to get more than just treasure.

Sorry to make this short but I want to save the action and explosions. I'll update as soon as I can. Until then my friends
