Okay, time to get the suspense rolling!

Note: The upcoming scene is an idea I got from Manga Girl 6's story, "You Need To Find Yourself A Girl Mate" So, the plot considering the locket of this chapter belongs to her.

Disclaimer: Why must life be so cruel? I don't own Treasure Planet OR Fangface OR FF2's OC! DON'T RUB IT IN!


Once they landed the life boat back on the planet, BEN lead them to another 'secret door' somewhere in the jungle, deciding to avoid the pirates' camp just in case they wouldn't be lucky to get by without waking any of them. They got back down into the tunnels, and had Fangface lead them back, not wanting to risk getting lost by BEN again. Luckily, the werewolf remembered which way to go, and they reached BEN's cave, climbing through the secret door. "Doc! Biff! I got the map," Kitefang whispered, holding out the map to a shadowed figure lying down.

Silver's robotic hand reached out and grabbed the map as the cyborg emerged from the shadows. "Fine work, lad," he said, smirking as he observed the map. "Fine work, indeed,"

"Thanks for showing us the way, wolf-boy!" One of the pirates chuckled as they circled around Kitefang and Fangface. Looking over, the two werewolves noticed that their friends were tied up and gagged- and they didn't take too kindly to that.

"That's it! (grr) Now I'm MAD!" Fangface snarled, running to attack one of the pirates, but two of them held him back, along with Kitefang.

"I'll handle t'is," Silver chuckled, then took out a picture of the sun, turning Kitefang and Fangface back into Kite and Fangs. "I couldn't help but notice a certain pattern deh two o' ya shared,"

"What's this sorry sack o' metal?" The female pirate, Mary, snapped as she grabbed BEN and held a knife up to his throat.

"Not the face!" BEN cried.

"Let them go, Silver!" Puggsy snapped, and he tried to pull one of the aliens away from Fangs, while Morph bit down on another's tail. The alien he bit yelled in pain and swatted Morph, while the one Puggsy fought punched him and kicked him onto the ground.

Silver sneered at Puggsy. "Turnin' against us, eh?" he said, his cyborg eye orange. He examined the cut on his cheek and his black eye, chuckling. "I guess Scroop puttin' a number on ya didn't teach ya a lesson," Puggsy glowered and tried to tackle Silver, but two other pirates held him back. The cyborg then turned to Kite. "Yer jus' like me, Kite- ya hates tah lose," He tried to open up the map, shifting his robotic arm into different gears, but with no avail to unlocking the sphere.

"Hard to unlock, isn't it? I know," Fangs said.

"I'm more like you than you know, Silver," Kite said, smirking devilishly. Jerking his hand out of a pirate's grip, he reached under his cap and pulled out Silver's locket. "And, unless you want me to blab your 'little secret' to the crew, I suggest you hand over the map."

Silver glared at Kite, but handed him the map, taking back his locket as he did. "Fine… Now open it!" he demanded. But Kite just sneered at him, and he switched his cyborg arm to 'pistol-mode', aiming it at Fangs and Puggsy. "I'd get busy,"

Kite looked at his friends. Puggsy was shaking his head 'no' while Fangs was shaking his head 'yes', but Puggsy gave him a dirty glance and he began shaking his head 'no' too. Kite looked at Kim and Biff, who gave him helpless glances, and then looked at Amelia and Delbert- who were doing the same thing as Fangs and Puggsy. He looked back at Silver, who kept his pistol aimed and gave Kite a 'it's your choice' glance. Kite glared at him, then pushed the buttons on the map (without even looking!) and unlocked it, making a holographic image of Treasure Planet appear, and his bracelet glowed dimly.

The pirates stared in awe. "Oh, deh powers tah be- would ya look!" Silver gasped in amazement. The hologram then turned into a line, shooting through the air in a path toward the treasure. Silver looked back at Kite and sneered. "Tie deh boys up, an' leave 'em wit' deh others till we-" The line disappeared, slipping back into the sphere, and Kite's bracelet stopped glowing.

"You take the map, you take me and my bracelet, too." Kite said, sternly.

Silver glared at him, but then chuckled, shaking his head. He really knows how tah drive a bargain… jus' like his ol' man. He thought. "We'll take 'em all,"


"Man, I can't WAIT for them to find the treasure!" BF said eagerly. He had changed back from Fangpuss when he saw Silver hold up the sun picture. He then developed a dreamy look on his face and dollar signs flashed in his eyes. "I hope Fangs brings back a ton of it…"

"SHUSH!" Everyone hissed at him.

"This is the good part," Alyx whispered.

BF sank down in his seat, pouting, but smiled as he continued to watch the movie.


They trudged back down to the pirate's campsite, and as if they thought things weren't bad enough, Puggsy had to carry Biff, due to his broken ankle. "You just HAD to go and busterate your ankle, didn't you?" Puggsy muttered.

"Shut up and keep walking," Biff sneered. Puggsy glared and- as they were passing a rock- bumped Biff's broken ankle against the stone, making him hiss in pain.

"Oops. Sorry!"

Biff glowered, then jabbed Puggsy's black eye, making him yelp in pain. "Oops. Sorry!"

"Knock it off, you two!" Kim snapped.

"Hey, it's not MY fault your secret-lover is being a-" Biff paused, remembering that the statement was supposed to stay a secret! (Way to go, Biff- you blew it).

"Secret WHAT?" Puggsy questioned.

"Nothing!" Biff and Kim both said quickly, though they didn't convince their friend. Thankfully, though, Kite and Fangs didn't hear them, so the cat wasn't completely out of the bag.

They piled into the longboat, squishing close together, and then Kite unlocked the map, and they followed the line, and the farther they followed it, the brighter his bracelet got, and images of the treasure kept appearing in Kite's mind. "We're getting close," he said, looking ahead. "The treasure should be right behind those bamboo shrubs."

They lowered the longboat to the ground, parking it, and left Delbert, Amelia, Biff, and Kim tied up in it, leaving the fat alien in charge of guarding them. "We can't have 'em slowing us down," Silver said, referring to Amelia and Biff. "As fer yer girlfriend… well, lets jus' say she'll be stayin' behind in case ya try tah pull something…"

If I wasn't tied up, I'd karate-chop him to pieces- metal bits and all! Kim thought bitterly, watching them go. "Be careful, Kite," she whispered.

They walked down a path, and Morph chattered nervously, hiding in Fangs' pocket. "It's okay Morph…" Fangs said, patting the blob, though he couldn't really convince himself. "We're just heading to the treasure- and our doom… (gulp)."

"F-Fangs, I don't know about you, but I'm starting to see my life pass before my eyes," BEN stammered, walking beside the teen. "A-At least, I think it's my life…. WAS I EVER DANCING WITH AN ANDROID NAMED 'LUPE'?"

"YIKES!" Fangs leaped into Puggsy's arms, frightened by the robot's outburst. "BEN, don't DO that!"

"Would you two knock it off?" Puggsy snapped, dropping Fangs.

"Calm down guys," Kite whispered. "This isn't over yet…"

"Ooh, ooh! I wish it was, though…" Fangs whimpered.

The line began to flash faster and Kite's bracelet was shining so bright, he had to shield his eyes when he looked at it. "We're getting close, lads!" Silver exclaimed, impressed with the signs. He shifted his arm into a sword, and grabbed Kite by the shirt. "I smell treasure awaitin'!" He cut through the bamboo plants and they all burst through the clearing, seeing…

…Nothing.

The line stopped at the edge of a cliff, and Kite's bracelet didn't glow any brighter. "What the…?" Mr. Turnbuckle snapped.

"I see nothing! One big heaping pile of NOTHING!" Mr. Onis shouted angrily.

"What's going on, Kite?" Silver demanded.

The line dissolved back into the sphere and Kite's bracelet stopped glowing, though the image of the treasure remained in his head. He messed with his bracelet. "I don't know…" he muttered, then tried unlocking the map. "I can't get either of them to work!"

"Let me try," Fangs said, grabbing the map. He remembered the scene perfectly, and pretended to trip… right in front of an indent in the ground which was shaped just like the map. "Hey, I think I found something!" He inserted the map in, and a green light shot across the ground.

A holographic globe emerged from the ground where the map was, and Kite and Silver stepped closer to get a better look. Kite's bracelet began to flash, and so many images of the treasure burst in his mind that he began to get a headache. "That's a whole bunch of treasure!" Kitefang exclaimed in his mind, though with the thoughts of treasure, Kite could barely hear him.

Suddenly, four lines shot across the terrain from the horizon, coming together and forming a large, triangular portal that opened to reveal a part of space. "Oh, have mercy…" Silver gasped.

"The Lagoon Nebula?" Puggsy questioned, recognizing the area thanks to his many travels with Silver. "Geez, that's halfway across the galaxy!"

Kite observed the globe. "Kinapis… Montressor spaceport." he said, pushing a button that resembled the spaceport, and the portal re-opened to the location.

"That's how Flint did it," Fangs said. "He used this portal to roam the universe and steal treasure! …Gosh, I wish we had something like this back home. That would make our vacation trips a LOT easier."

Kite's bracelet continued to flash, and suddenly the images of the treasure disappeared, being replaced by an image of his mother, Lucy, and a planetary symbol that looked like a tiger-striped, purple planet with a green ring around it. He remembered Delbert having a book on the planet- it was called Solaris. Why am I thinking about this? …And what does it have to do with my mom? Kite wondered… Then it hit him- that's where is mother was! He looked for the button to the planet, stepping beside Fangs who was randomly pushing buttons to see where they lead to.

"But where'd he stash it all?" Silver bellowed, pushing the two boys out of the way and pushing random buttons, searching for the mountains of gold that Flint had hidden. "Where's… Dat… Blasted… Treasure?"

"Treasure… Treasure!" BEN gasped, clutching his head. "It's… buried in the…"

"Buried in the centroid of the mechanism!" Fangs and Kite said together.

"Wait a minute," Puggsy said, stomping his foot on the ground, feeling its metal surface (he was actually acting it out, pretending he didn't know where the treasure was to play along with the movie). "What if the whole planet IS the mechanisasm?"

"Then the treasure…" Fangs said excitedly.

"Is in the center of the planet!" The three boys said in unison. The pirates began digging at the moss-covered metallic surface, but it was too hard to break through.

"T'en how deh blue blazes are we supposed tah get tah it?" Silver snapped, still pushing buttons.

Puggsy rolled his eyes. "Real simple, Silver!" he scoffed, nudging the cyborg to the side and stepping up to the globe. "Just push the right button," He pushed the button that resembled Treasure Planet, and the portal re-opened to a metallic cave. He stuck his arm through, feeling the jelly-like feel of the portal, then stepped through. Fangs and Kite stepped in after him, but Silver grabbed their shoulders before they could proceed further, then stepped through himself, followed by the rest of the pirates.

They stepped down a slanting metal path and- the one important thing the three teens forgot about the movie- unexpectingly stepped through a laser-beam that triggered a trap. Stepping down further, they paused, jaws dropping at the sight before them: an entire ocean of treasure that made up the entire core of the planet!

"Deh loot of a t'ousand worlds…" Silver gasped in awe.

"We are going to need a bigger boat!" Mr. Onis cried, and the pirates ran down, leaping into the mounds of gold and rubies.


"C'mon, c'mon, grab some treasure…" BF urged under his breath, eyeing the screen. "C'mon, big money, big money- no whammy, no whammy…"

"Shut it!" Brielle snapped, hitting BF with a couch cushion to shut him up.


"Alright, c'mon," Kite whispered, pulling Fangs and Puggsy along, toward an old space-boat full of treasure.

"This is all seeming very familiar…" BEN said as he followed them. "But, I-I can't remember why…"

"Lets go, BEN," Fangs said, nudging BEN and motioning him along. "We're gonna get outta here… with a boat-load of treasure!"


"YES!" BF exclaimed, leaping into the air. "Take the boat, guys! TAKE the BOAT!"

"WOULD YOU SHUT UP ALREADY?" Everyone yelled, and through their snacks at their friend.

"Okay! Sheesh, can't a kid root for his own cousins?"

"Just shut up and watch the movie," Edwin said.

"Yeah, I want to see how they handle Flint's trap," Jim said.

THAT was enough to get everyone (BF included) to remain silent and watch the scene with anticipation.


Fangs, Kite, Puggsy, and BEN all ran over to the longboat. They weren't afraid of being spotted by the pirates, knowing that the scoundrels were too involved with the treasure to care about them anymore. Climbing up a mountain of treasure, they reached the boat, and Fangs and BEN gave Kite and Puggsy a boost over the edge, and their friends reached down and helped pull them up. "Guys, I can't help feeling something nag at the back of my mind- GASP!" BEN said, falling in.

"YIIIEE!" Fangs yelped, ducking behind Kite.

Sitting before them were the skeletal remains of… "Captain Flint!" Kite gasped.

"In the flesh!" BEN added. "Well… Anything but the flesh, or skin, or organs… those aren't there."

"(gulp) I think I'm going to throw up…" Fangs quivered, turning pale at the sight of the skeleton.

"What's that he's holding?" Puggsy asked, stepping closer to Flint and prying something out of the skeleton's hand… BEN's memory circuit.

"Hey, BEN, Puggsy found your mind!" Kite said, grabbing the piece out of Puggsy's hand and inserting it into the back of BEN's head.

"Whoa! Kite, your hands are so co- necting." BEN said, straightening up. His eyes flashed, turning light-blue. "Hello. …You know, guys, I was just thinking. I was… just… THINKING! All my memories are back! …Flint took out my memory circuit so I couldn't tell anyone about his-"

The three teenagers froze, having their memory of the movie come to mind. "The booby-trap!" They all gasped.

"…Yeah, that!" Suddenly, the ground shook, and the large lasers that used to be pumping energy into the core were now blasting the treasure-covered ground! "Speaking of which…"

"The most important scene from the movie, and we forgot about it!" Puggsy muttered, slapping his forehead in disbelief.

"Flint wanted to make sure no one could ever find his treasure, so he rigged this entire planet to blow higher than a Kalaspian kite!"

"I didn't know Kite had a Kalaspian relative!" Fangface said in Fangs' mind.

This is no time for jokes, Fangface! Fangs thought bitterly. "What are we going to do?" he yelled, watching as the core broke open and treasure (along with a couple pirates) slid into a pit of lava.

"Puggsy and I will get the ship going," Kite said as he and Puggsy started to re-wire the control panel of the boat.

"You guys go help Biff and Kim." Puggsy said.

"Give us five minutes, and if we're not back in five minutes…" Kite paused, seeing the concerned look on Fangs' face.

"Then… j-just leave without us," Puggsy began working on the controls, while Kite slid underneath the panel to hot-wire the boat.

"No way, guys!" Fangs snapped.

"Yeah, we're NOT leaving our buddies!" BEN added, pulling Kite out from under the panel.

Kite and Puggsy gave Fangs and BEN death-glares. "…Unless… they look at us like that." Fangs began walking off.

"Bye, guys!" BEN scurried off, and he and Fangs ran across the exploding core and Fangs tripped and began sliding with the treasure. "Yipe!" BEN grabbed his hands, helping him up, and they ran through the portal.


Kim and Biff sat back-to-back, still tied up, keeping quiet. They felt the planet shake, and knew that Flint's booby-trap had been set off. "I hope they're alright…" Kim silently prayed.

Delbert sighed. "All my life I've dreamed of an adventure like this," he said, then turned his head slightly toward Amelia. "I'm sorry that I couldn't have been more useful for you…" he turned to Biff and Kim. "And I'm sorry I allowed you to get into this mess,"

"Oh, don't be daft," Amelia said. "You've been a great help. Really."

"And it's not your fault we got into this mess," Biff said, then hung his head low. "We did that on our own, and didn't fill you two in on our suspicions about Silver when we had the chance,"

"The one time we DON'T tell someone that something's wrong," Kim sighed, resting her chin on her hand.

Delbert sighed again. "I feel like such a useless weakling," he said, covering his face with his hands.

…Suddenly, Kim and Delbert noticed that their wrists had slipped through their bonds!

"…With abnormally thin wrists!"

"I'm not complaining," Kim said, then she and Delbert hid their hands behind their backs, pretending they were still tied up.

Delbert faced the alien guarding them. "Excuse me, brutish pirate,"

"(Belch)" The alien responded, turning toward them.

"Yeah, you, Mr. Charmer," Kim said. "We have a question…" she nudged Delbert to continue.

"Ah, yes, we do-" Delbert said. "Is it that your body is too massive for your teeny-tiny head…"

"Or is it that your head is too tiny for your big fat body?"

The fat alien looked at himself, then glowered at Kim and Delbert, marching over to them and picking the astronomer up by his shirt-collar. "I pummel you good!" he snarled, holding up his fist.

"Um, yes, I'm sure you will- but I have one other question!" Delbert said, then quickly snatched the laser-pistol out of the pirate's holster. "Is this yours?"

The alien looked down, dumbfounded. "Uh…"

"I have another question, too," Kim said then stood up punched the alien in the face, making him drop Delbert and fall out of the longboat. "How many stars do you see?"


A/N: W00T! Go Kim and Delbert! You da man… er, I mean hybrid and girl…

Okay, the most dramatic, suspenseful, explosive part is coming up- you won't want to miss it, so stay tuned! Please review, too. We've already got an explosive planet, so flames aren't necessary.
