We reached the R.L.S Legacy and peeked in to see if anyone was inside. Luckily, no one was inside. I jumped over the boat and reached over for Vida. Once she was pulled in, we pulled in Ben.
"Shh! Ben!" He felled on top of Vida and she pushed him off
"Sorry, sorry, sorry."
We walked quietly towards the engine room. The boat was creaking and we stepped down the stairs.
"Okay," I whispered. "I'll get the map. You two wait here."
"Roger, Jimmy." He yelled. "I'll neutralize the laser cannons."
"Wait, Ben, Ben, Ben, Ben! Ugh!"
"Yo ho, yo-ho. A pirate's life for me!" He sang as he turned towards the wire room for the cannon.
"Okay, Vida, stay here and shout if you need me. Be careful."
"I will." We quickly hugged each other and quickly kissed and I left to find the map.
We walked down to where the longboats used to be held and I looked for the rope. I found the rope and reached and sighed as I felt the map in my hands. "Yes."
Then, loud sirens came on all over the boat. I started to run back the stairs to find Vida.
"That stupid robot's gonna get us all…killed."
I stopped short as I saw Mr. Scroop holding Vida raised off the floor by the collar of her shirt and she was struggling against the wall, kicking her feet and trying to get his hands off her.
He turned and saw me. "Cabin Boy."
When he turned around, Vida bit his claw and fell to the ground. He groaned as he clutched his claw.
"You sleazy dog!"
"Come on!"" I grabbed her and we ran, throwing barrels on the ground.
"What happened!"
"I don't know! You just left and he just grabbed me from behind!"
We could hear him coming after us and getting closer, which was forcing us to run faster. Morph bough us some time and I gave Vida her gun as we pulled in a corner.
"Okay! On the count of three…1…2...3!"
We jumped out of our hiding spot and pointed our guns at him but the lights turned off.
She grunted and yelled, "Jim!"
Once they came back on, he was gone and so was Vida. "Vida! Vida! Where are you?" I turned around to see her on the ground, her gun gone and clutching her arm. I could see she was bleeding.
"VIDA!" I yelled but just as I was about to go for her I heard Morph yell and someone grunt.
I turned and Mr. Scroop smacked my face, sending me near Vida and losing my gun.
"Jim!" She got up and tried to run to me but stopped as she started to float up.
Mr. Scroop came towards me and I tried to reach for the gun but they too started to rise and so did we.
Once he was off me, I kicked his stomach and he cracked through gate. We floated through the gate and Vida managed to grab on and tried to reach for my hand but I missed.
Mr. Scroop grabbed onto the mast and when he saw me, he tried to grab me but just touched my boot making me flip in the air. I grabbed the flag and saw Mr. Scroop climbing up. I saw the gun and I tried to reach it.
"Come on, come on, come on. No!" The gun floated off.
"Oh yes." Mr. Scroop said as he started to slice the rope. Say hello to Mr. Arrow."
"No, you don't!" I saw Vida floating rapidly and grabbing Mr. Scroop by his neck and trying to choke him.
I used this to my advantage and climbed down the flag and onto the mast.
"Aagh! Get off of me, you brat." He reached behind him, grabbed her and slammed her against the mast.
She grunted and fell unconscious. Her body started to float upwards.
"No!" I yelled
Mr. Scroop growled and went after me on the flag pole. He jumped to grab me and I jumped onto his back and kicked him into the flag. I grabbed the post and grabbed Vida's hand so she won't float away. Mr. Scroop yelled as he went up into space as the rope ripped.
Vida's hair was raised up and I could make out the cut on her cheek from earlier had opened deeper and I knew it was going to leave a scar the same way mine were on my cheek. Her right arm had a deep gash and I knew if she put weight on it, it would deepen the cut.
"Come on, Ben!" I couldn't stay like this forever. My arm was hurting holding onto the mast and the other holding Vida but I refused to let her go.
Then, I fell on the floor with Vida by my side.
"Ugh!" I said as shaked my head. Vida was on her side and wasn't moving. I went over to her and raised her up.
"Vida! Vida! Come on, wake up" I started to shake her and she groaned.
Her eyes fluttered her eyes opened and frowned. "Ugh! Jim?" I smiled and crushed her body to mine."Oh thank goodness, you're okay!" She pushed me back and touched her head and winced. "What happened? I remember Mr. Scroop and… where is he?"
"He's gone…for good." She rubbed her head some more and pulled away. "Ow!" I looked at her arms. The cut on her right arm was pretty deep and that too was gonna leave a scar.
I grabbed a piece of the flag that fell and tied it around her arm. She winced as I tightened it to stop the blood.
"Are you trying to stop my blood circulation?" she asked as I finished tying it.
"The blood needs to be stopped. It's pretty deep but just think of it this way. It will be a reminder of our first time fighting together and nearly getting killed by a deranged spider psycho."
She laughed and smiled. Then, we heard rattling and Morph came out looking black from a pipe.
He coughed and his color returned to normal.
"Morph?"
"Laser Cannons disconnected, Captain Jimmy, sir. Gee, that wasn't so bad." He called from below the deck.
"So bad? He nearly had us killed." She said to me.
"Hey, you were the one that wanted to bring him into our group because he was innocent." I bashed my eyelashes and laughed out loud.
"Ha-ha! Very Funny Jim!" She said, then she pushed me onto the deck and kissed me.
I pulled her tighter to me even though she was on top and she pulled away. She placed her elbows on my chest and said, "You are so lucky you're cute or you would've been pulverized by now."
I placed my arms behind my head. "I'm going to pay for this big time, aren't I?"
She giggled and stood up. "Oh, yes!"
