Chapter 29
B.E.N. led everyone to his home. They decided to hide out there until they could come up with a plan to defeat the pirates. Suddenly, B.E.N. started yelling, "Hey, there are some more of your buddies." But what B.E.N. thought were friends were actually foes.
The pirates had found them. Erika started shooting her arrows and Jim shot from his laser gun. Zoran was about to unleash a fire spell on them when Silver held up a white flag. As he waved the flag, he yelled, "Parley!" It seemed that he was ready to surrender. "I'd like to speak with you Jim," Silver called. Jim was uncertain, but decided to go and talk. The warriors still didn't trust Silver, so they kept their weapons at the ready.
"What do ya think they're talking about?" Tyson asked. "Silver's probably bargaining for the map," Amelia guessed. "So, he thinks we still have it?" Zoran asked. "Maybe, we can us that to buy some time." Then, they heard Silver scream, "I swear, I'll use the ship's cannon to blast you all to Kingdom Hearts itself!" After saying that, two pirate heartless appeared by Silver's side. "Well there goes that plan," Erika commented.
Later that night, the group had a lot to think about. How were they going to live through this? "Without the map, we're dead," Jim said. "If we try to leave we're dead," Zoran added. "And if we stay here…" Erika started. "We're dead! We're dead! "We're dead!" Morph finished happily. "Well," B.E.N. said, "I don't know about you guys, but I need some fresh air. So, I'll just slip out the back door." "Back door?" The four said together.
Jim had an idea. "Tyson, Erika," he said, "You guys stay here in case the pirates attack. Zoran and I will be right back." "Wait, what are we doing?" Zoran asked. Instead of giving an answer, Jim just jumped into B.E.N.'s back door, leaving Zoran, B.E.N. and Morph to follow.
The back door was a series of mechanized tunnels that ran through all of Treasure Planet. When Zoran and Jim got to the other end, they found themselves at the pirates' campsite. B.E.N. burst through the exit yelling, "What's the plan?" Amazingly enough, B.E.N.'s big mouth didn't wake up the sleeping pirates. Jim explained the plan to Zoran and B.E.N. "We'll sneak onto the Legacy, disable the laser cannons, and bring back the map." "Good plan," Zoran stated, "Except, how do we get there?" "On that," Jim answered pointing to a longboat.
The group made it below deck of the ship. As Jim was about to explain the details of his plan, B.E.N. yelled, "I'll disconnect the laser cannons," and ran of singing, "Yo, ho, yo, ho, A pirate's life for me." Jim was about to stop him when Zoran said, "Let him go. How much trouble could he cause?" B.E.N. arrived at the control room saying to himself, "All I gotta do is pull one little wire." Then he realized how many wires there were. All unlabeled. "Oh mama."
Meanwhile, Zoran, Jim, and Morph made their way to the longboat bay and found the map. Just as they found it, some alarms went off. "B.E.N.!" Zoran thought. They ran up to the upper deck, Jim saying, "That stupid robot's gonna get us all……… killed." Something stood in their way. Mr. Scroop and two Flying Pirate Heartless.
Scroop had it in for Jim more than Zoran, so he went blow deck to deal with him. Zoran went above deck to deal with the heartless. As Zoran fought the increasing number of heartless, he realized something. He was getting noticeably lighter. Then, he was floating in the air. Turned out that B.E.N. had turned off the ship's artificial gravity by mistake.
When Zoran looked over, he saw Jim and Scroop floating up the main mast. Using the anti-gravity to his advantage, Zoran flew towards them. As Jim continued to float up, Scroop said, "Say hello to Mr. Arrow for me." Jim saw Zoran hanging onto the crow's nest extending his hand out. Jim smiled and said, "Tell him yourself!" Jim dove down to Zoran and kicked up Scroop.
As soon as Zoran grabbed Jim's hand he cast a spell that Silver taught him. "Gravity!" Silver had taught Zoran that spell for in case the ship lost its artificial gravity. Gravity had been restored to Zoran and Jim while Scroop continued to float into the farthest reaches of space.
Finally, B.E.N. restored the entire ship's gravity and disabled the laser cannons. "Laser cannons disconnected Captain Jimmy sir!" B.E.N. exclaimed once he was above deck. "What about the map?" Zoran asked. Jim pulled out a shining gold sphere from his pocket. He got it.
The group returned to the hideout. Jim ran to a sleeping silhouette and said, "Doc, we got the map." The silhouette turned out to be Silver. He grabbed the map and said, "Fine work Jimbo. Fine work indeed."
