Pippi 3 Chapter 11
Lucy squealed at the sight of her favorite couple kissing.
"May we leave now?" Julian asked Ram.
"You have all passed your tests. You are free to leave." Ram said. "But you can stay for one more meal if you'd like."
"No Thanks," Lucy said quickly.
Everyone boarded the ship within the hour. Marcus kept Julian and Weltz separated. The ship began its sail for the dark island just in time for dinner.
The crew enjoyed a long night's rest on the ship that night. Julian gave up his room that night and slept on a hammock. He told Pippi to use his room. She readied for sleep in Julian's room and then there was a knock at the door: Edmund.
The next day, the were well rested crew woke up and enjoyed a nice breakfast of eggs and flapjacks. Edmund smiled as he woke up next to Pippi.
The Dawn Treader approached the dark island soon after breakfast. The crew put in their armor and grabbed their swords. The crew met on the top deck. Julian attempted to make a speech but needed up looking to Pippi and Marcus for help.
"The song you sand to me," Julian said, "I think we could all you that right now. If you wouldn't mind."
Pippi nodded and looked out to the crew. She didn't see sailors. She saw soldiers. Edmund, Lucy, and Roland were on the deck in their armor too. She looked at around the ship. Strawberry and Dragon Eustace we're flying nearby. Pippi smiled and began to sing.
You're broken down and tired
Of living life on a merry go round
And you can't find the fighter
But I see it in you so we gonna walk it out
And move mountains
We gonna walk it out
And move mountains
And I'll rise up
I'll rise like the day
I'll rise up
I'll rise unafraid
I'll rise up
And I'll do it a thousand times again
And I'll rise up
High like the waves
I'll rise up
In spite of the ache
I'll rise up
And I'll do it a thousands times again
For you
For you
For you
For you
The mist began to fill the ship. The crew jumped and gasped. Pippi walked down to Edmund and held his hand. Lucy closed her eyes and shook her head. Pippi took
Lucy's hand too. Roland saw something through the mist-Storybrooke.
"Keep your thoughts clear," Marcus said.
Weltz made a face and looked out to the boat.
Julian saw him and rage filled his eyes.
"What's that?" A sailor asked pointing out to sea.
"What did Weltz just think of?" Pippi asked.
The crew looked over board at the mysterious creature going beneath the ship. The crew waited in anticipation for the creature under the ship to make a move. The ship with silent.
Bump!
The ship rocked from side to side. Simply members lost her footing. Lucy gripped on tight to the railing on the ship.
Back in their room, penny and Gail hid under the covers. When the ship rocked, and he rolled off the bed. "Woah!"
The creature wrapped its tentacles around the ship. Julian's eyes widened.
"Kraken!" Marcus shouted.
At the moment, a thunderstorm ensued.
The crew drew their swords and readied their attack. The tentacles of the Kraken grabbed crew members and squeezed them and threw them off the ship. "Ahhhh!"
The crew fought back. They sliced, chopped, and stabbed the creature. The Kraken was barely injured.
One tentacle grabbed Roland from the ship.
"Roland!" Pippi screamed.
Penny peeks out the small window in her room. She covered her mouth.
On the top deck, Pippi stood on the railing of the ship and jumped towards the tentacle Roland was on. Sliced the tentacle clean off and Roland fell back on the ship.
The rain made him slip in the deck.
Pippi fell down passed the ship. Lucy reached her arm out and grabbed Pippi's arm before she fell out of reach. Lucy pulled her back up on to the ship.
Dragon Eustace breathed fire on the Kraken and the Kraken smacked him.
Strawberry came swooping in and caught the sailors that we're thrown off the ship.
Back in their room, Gail called Penny away from the Window. "Penny..."
Penny turned to see Gail, pale and breathing heavy. She leaned over in the bed and Penny ran over and caught her. "Gail! What's happening?"
"The Curse," Gail said. "They...have...to...win."
Penny held her and sniffled. "You have to be okay. They're about to break this curse and you'll be fine."
Gail looked at Penny, breathing heavy.
Meanwhile the battle raged on for the crew. They fought and wrestled this monster. Roland saved Julian from a tentacle that was squeezing him.
Dragon Eustace began to fly away but Strawberry flew in front of him. Through their secret language, Dragon Eustace was convinced to come back.
Weltz was thrown against the sail by a tentacle and made a hard fall on the top deck. His eyes were open and pale.
Pippi looked at Julian who sighed with relief.
"He's dead," one sailor said.
"Yes," Julian said. "But there is still a Kraken that we need to defeat."
"Aye," the sailor said.
The crew continued to take on the Kraken as is seemed to have endless amounts of tentacles. The rain made it harder for them move about the deck and to see.
One tentacles from the Kraken threw Pippi against the deck. She landed towards the helm. A hard thud sound was made as she hit the wooden floor.
Pippi began to feel a warm light.
