We all jump out of the portal so fast. I look behind me to see that the other side of it was nothing but a death trap. There was no going back there any more. It boggles my mind that Silver would give his dream up for Jim and I. A part of me didn't think he would save us. "Silver, you gave up?" Jim asks him. "It's a life long obsession lad. I'll get over it." Silver sighs, gently waving Jim off. Oh, he'd better get over this treasure hunting expedition. Up above us, the ship was lowering to where we were.
"Guys, look!" I cry out, pointing to the ship. Ben comes to the side of the ship with his navigator. The look on his face was one of panic. "Hurry people! This planet is going to blow up in two minutes and thirty-five seconds!" Ben explains. Oh no... two minutes? That's not enough time to get us out of here. "Come on!" I yell, pointing the way to get on the ship. Silver and Jim follow behind me as the ship bumps into a piece of platform. I jump onto the ledge of the ship and hoist myself up as fast as I could. "Jim, grab on!" I shout, leaning down to get ahold of Jim.
As the ship begins to lift off, Jim and I grab Silver so that we could pull him up. At least we're on the ship now we can get out of here. I run up to where the stairs were to see the captain at her normal post. Jim and Silver joined me. " Aye, Captain! Captain, you dropped from the heavens in the nick of-" Silver sighs, taking his pirate hat off. From the look on Amelia's face, she wasn't putting up with Silver right now.
"Save your claptrap for the judge, Silver!" she spats back, giving an angered look before going to Delbert, who was steering the ship. I cock my eye brow at Silver. Hm, I knew he wouldn't get away for what he did with us before. I continue my way up the stairs so that I was able to get a view of what was happening to the planet, the wind blowing through my hair and clothes. What I didn't realize is that that portal we used could very well be our way out of here.
Suddenly, I hear the sounds of a rock hitting one of the sails of the ship. Twisting my head around to see the sail falling on one of the beams of the ship, causing the laser cannon to break from the impact. At this rate, we wouldn't be able to get out of here fast enough. I make my way down the stairs as quick as I could to get to the bottom level. "Hey, we gotta turn around!" I shout, grabbing the attentions of everybody on boards attention. "Wait, what?" Amelia responds, confused of what I suggested.
"That portal we were just at is our way out of here!" I point behind us, going to the broken laser cannon. "She's right! We can get out that way!" Jim follows. I pull two pieces of metal out from underneath the fallen beam. "Pardon me guys but wasn't that place a raging inferno?!" Delbert exclaims to us. Jim kneels down and rolls the broken pieces to the laser cannon onto the flat pieces of metal. "Yes! But we're going to change that! Jamie and I can open a different door!" Jim shouts over the raging sounds in the back ground. We're getting out of here one way or the other.
"Come on! Come on!" I exclaim, searching for a way to attach the dismembered laser part to the scrap of metal. "Hey, what do you need guys?" Silver asks us, coming down to our side. I still looked around and got somewhat frustrated. "We can't find a way to attach these!" Jim responds to Silver. Silver instantly looks at what our problem is and he uses a blow torch to get them attached. Silver helped us get them on the edge of the ship. With one swift jump, I was on the makeshift board. I keep my left hand on the edge of the board.
"Ok, no matter what happens, keep the ship heading straight for that portal." Jim instructs to Silver. I gaze back at Silver with a saddened look. He gazed back at Jim and I with the same softened look. I knew what we had to do but I was also scared that we were going to possibly get killed during this. "C'mon little bro. Let's finish this." I bravely state, looking towards Jim. He nods at me. And with that, I start up my board so that we took off away from the ship at top speed.
It was one obstacle after another as we descended back to the portal. The wind was blowing my hair back behind me so I was able to see what was in front of me. Swift as can be, I rode this board against the walls of the breaking planet. "On your right!" Jim exclaims to me. I look to my right to see one of the walls coming at us. I didn't hesitate to bring the board up and out of the way of that wall. All I was focused on was getting to that portal. That was definitely our way out of here. That Montressor Spaceport button is what I'm targeting. We're going to get the ship home... "No! No!" Jim cries out. That made me look down and my eyes widened to an extent.
Jim was plummeting to a crease of the breaking planet. "Jim!" I cry out to him, doing a u-turn and diving in after him as quick as I could. I reach my hand out to him. He sees me and he grabs onto my arm with both hands as the board he was on descended to the lava below us. "You're not dying on my watch!" I shout, quickly hoisting him up onto my board. "Let's go!" Jim exclaims to me. I didn't waste any time getting the board to fly upwards with both of us on it. The ship flew up above us as we finally make it up to where they were. We were so close to the portal. We're going to make it. "C'mon!" I exclaim, letting Jim press the button on the universe globe.
The second he pressed it, we flew through the portal and back into Montressor Spaceport. The portal then exploded into oblivion the second we go through it. "Yeah!" Jim exclaims happily as did I. "We did it Jim!" I whooped estatically, high fiving Jim twice. We both laugh triumphantly as we make our way around the ship. "You did it! Way to go guys!" Silver exclaims, high fiving both of us when we reach down to him. And with that, the two of us jump off the makeshift board. "That was amazing!" I exclaim, high fiving Jim again with both hands. "We saved everybody! That was thrilling!" Jim responds happily. Morph then comes over to us and happily licks our cheeks, making me chuckle because it tickled. Amelia and Delbert come over to us. I couldn't help but put my arm around Jim's shoulder. "Unorthodox, but ludicrously effective." Amelia praises us, her hands behind her back, "I would also like to recommend you both to the Interstellar Academy. we could use a man and woman like you both." That offer made my heart flutter because I always wanted to attend that academy.
"Just wait til ya'lls mother hears about this!" Delbert happily exclaims to us. "She'll be so happy to hear this. But let's leave the life threatening parts out of this." I chuckle. Both Jim and Delbert nod at me instantly. The last thing we want Mom to have is a heart attack about the dangers we went through. But I'm happy I did this with Jim. Ben comes up to Jim and I just then. "Jimmy, Jamie. That was... unforgettable! Look I know you guys don't like hugging but I gotta hug ya!" Ben exclaims, jumping on Jim for a hug. To which Jim gives in and hugs him back. "C'mere you lug!" I say, hugging the robot back like he did with us. "Hey, you guys hugged me back! Oh I promised myself I wouldn't cry!" Ben says happily, sobbing into our arms. I shake my head for a moment with a smile on my face. Such a softy. I raise my head to look at the stairs to see Silver wasn't there anymore. "Where'd Silver go?" I ask. Jim wipes his nose for a second before he takes me by my hand. "I gotta pretty good guess." he answers. I follow him down to where the long boats are. He had to be down here somewhere.
