Hey guys, well, this is it! The moment you all probably have been waiting for! The big final showdown! The big plan to take down D.P.K.T.I once and for all. If you read the last chapter, you'll see that Peter has started it... now it's up to Jake, Blake, and the others to hopefully end it. Let's see how it all goes down in Part One of this final stand off. I hope you enjoy!

Chapter 36: Standing as One Part 1

"Release these innocent people at once..." Peter ordered.

Stephanie only scoffed at the never aging boy, "I was sure I captured you too."

"Let's just say that I'm too swift and smart for your henchmen, Steph. I thought you'd be better than this, but I see that you're just like your brother... cold, cruel, and heartless..."

"Whatever, you can suffer along with the other fools in this room." Stephanie snapped her fingers, "Take him down!"

Two of her guards has ropes ready to grab Peter, but as the boy said, he was too fast and too smart for them. He zigged and zagged around them as they tried to lasso him, but they ended up lassoing themselves. Stephanie groaned, "Fools... well, I guess there's only one other thing to do..."

Reaching for her belt, she pulled out her own gun and shot the ceiling, causing everyone to erupt in a panic. Jake was still busy hugging Kari in hopes of snapping her out of her trance. The child continue to struggle and growl.

"Kari... listen to me... you're under some sort of influence, honey... you don't want to hurt Daddy... please, you know who I am..."

Kari looked up at him with a glare, before quickly opening her mouth and gnawing down on Jake's arm. The former pirate winced slightly, but refused to let go. Blake saw that and cringed, "Damn... I hope that doesn't happen, OW! Fuck!"

His hope was dashed when Blair did the same thing.

Izzy also tried to help, "Kari... baby girl. This is Mommy... can you hear my voice...?"

Kari's response was biting down even harder on Jake's arm, so hard that he could see blood seeping through the sleeve. Nevertheless, he kept hugging her, "Remember all the fun times we had together, Kari... I mean, there weren't many of them since I didn't see you for a majority of your life... but remember the fun times... the much better times... this past few months have been hectic, sure... but I'm glad to spend time with you... because... I love you..."

With that, he gave the child a kiss on her forehead... and as soon as he did that... she stopped biting him and looked up. Jake smiled, the light in her eyes has returned... "Daddy...?"

"Good girl..." Jake chuckled.

After a few moments, Kari hugged him back, "I love you too..."

"I know you do, baby girl..."

Blake saw what happened, and did the same thing Jake did, "Blair... if you can understand whatever I'm saying, just know that I love you, sweetheart..."

"Mommy loves you too..." Ally added.

He then planted a kiss on Blair's head, to which she also stopped biting, and hugged him, "Love you, Daddy..." She whispered. Blake smiled, "Of course you do, Blair Bear..."

As for Jake, he looked at the bleeding bite mark on his arm, to which Kari frowned, "I bit you... I'm sorry..." She said sadly.

"It's alright, sweetie... you didn't mean it..." He patted her on the head, "But now... we had better get you two out of here...!"

By now, people were running all over the place. Stephanie was enjoying this, as it gave her employees the chance to attack and do their part in getting revenge on their enemies. Maia luckily had found an opening and was trying to make it there before someone grabbed her from behind.

Jake tried his best to get his family to safety. It was hectic with all the people panicking to get out. But he had to focus on his family... or what was left of it. Troy was still no where to be seen, and he was getting worried.

"Oh, Troy... where are you...?" He asked himself.

"Daddy! Help! Help!"

Jake turned to see Maia being held captive by Deville, "Don't struggle, my dear..." He said sinisterly, "This will be quick and painless..." He then put a gun to her hand, as she screamed, "DADDY!"

"Psycho bastard!" Jake growled, "Let her go! I won't have you take away another child of mine..."

Deville smirked, "Oh don't worry, Jacob. You'll soon be joining her... once I make all of you suffer my wrath!"

But before the villainous could even pull the trigger, he felt something else pierce his chest, causing him to lose his grip on Maia and fall to the floor. Apparently, someone shot him. Maia ran to her father and hugged him.

"You two had better get away if you wanna avoid death..."

Jake then turned to see someone he hadn't seen in a long time... someone who looked rather injured, but still alive enough to shoot a gun.

It was Charlie...

"Charlie... I thought you were dead... at least that's what I was told..." Jake said.

The former Dark Pirate shrugged, "I though I was too, but then I found by some people who I figured could help save you all... they helped keep me together..." He then stepped aside to reveal two women, whom Izzy had recognized, "Stacy! Renee'! You're here?"

"That's right, girl!" Renee' replied.

"When we heard about everything that's been going on, we wanted to help you out, Iz." Stacy added, "Just like with before."

"And by the looks of it..." Renee took a look at Deville on the floor, "I'm thinking we've already got a heads start."

"I think you're gonna need me as well..."

Now that voice sure sounded familiar. It was Sophie as she winked at Jake, "I want that prick to die for what his daughter did to mine." She stated. Jake was shocked she even wanted to help... after everything they've been through.

Izzy glared at her, "I would've expected you to be a part of this..."

"Look I may have done something in the past, but not even I would involve myself in this shit!" Sophie admitted, "So, I'll do whatever I can to help you guys out."

"As along as you don't ask for anything in return." Jake warned.

"Whatever..."

Charlie then began to lead everyone out of the room, "I know where all the weapons are. If you just follow me, we can end this once and for all."

With that, they began to follow the former Dark Pirate out of the room. They were lucky to sneak past the villains as the chaos was going on. Charlie led them down a dark hallway, which was littered with dead people. Guards that he had taken out.

"When I first came here, I wasn't sure how I would get in..." He explained, "But luckily, I found a firearm, and I got these guys with ease..."

"You were always pretty loyal, Charles..." Blake smirked, "But do you happen to know where my sword is... and my gun?"

"They have a whole room full of weapons. I'm sure your things are in that room."

"And you know where it is...?"

"Well duh..."

As he led them down the hall, they were ambushed by more guards, "Get behind me!" Charlie ordered as he took out his gun. As the guards came at him, he pulled the trigger, firing bullets in their heads.

Jake glared as he watched them fall to the ground, blood seeping from their wounds. It wasn't like him to wish death on anybody, but if anything, these bastards deserved it for merely being involved in this mess.

After that was taken care of, Charlie stopped in front of a door. Using a key he stole, he unlocked it and opened it up, revealing a room full of weapons. Guns, rifles, swords, knives, dagger, etc. Blake felt like he was in heaven as he walked into the room, "This must be a dream... if it is, I don't wanna wake up!"

All Jake could do was roll his eyes. It was typical of Blake to be so fascinated by weapons. After all, he did work at a shooting range.

"Now, you guys best pick wisely. These guys are tough..."

Sophie pushed her way in and grabbed a rifle, "Oh yeah, I'm ready to kick some ass tonight!" She exclaimed with excitement.

Blake chuckled as he found his sword and his Desert Eagle, "You've said it!"

Jake grabbed his own sword, "This is everyone... this is where we settle things... where we fight back... and where we finally take down Dark Pirates Killers Torturers Incorporated once and for all!"

"Hell yeah!" Blake replied.

"Yeah!" Both Kari and Blair said in unison.

Jake looked down at the two girls. He honestly forget that they were even there. After what had just happened, he refused to let anything else harm his daughter. One glance at Blake, and he could tell he was thinking the same thing.

"Kari... we're gonna need you... to go home..." Jake told her.

"You too, Blair..." Blake added.

The girls frowned, "But we want to help you..." Kari protested lightly, "I can use my Super Pirate Powers..."

Jake kneeled down to his daughters height, and grabbed her by her freckled cheeks, "I know, sweetie...but... I lost you once... I can't lose you again. I want you to be where it's safe. Please understand that I'm doing this do protect you... it's for your own good..."

Kari stared at her father for a few moments, and looked back at Blair, before nodding, "Well... okay, Daddy. I'll go home."

"Me too..." Blair added.

Stacy stepped forward, "And I'll be willing to take you home."

"Thanks, Stacy." Izzy smiled.

With that, she led the girls out of the room, the rest following after. Jake was going over a possible plan of attack, while Blake turned Ally aside for a moment, as he wanted to talk to her privately.

"Babe, you had better go home too..." He told his wife.

Ally looked at him as if he were crazy, "What? No, I'm not going home. I'm fighting along side with you guys. I've got the skills and power to help you guys out. I want as much revenge as you do."

"I know, but I want you to be safe."

"I will be safe!"

"Not out here, you won't!"

"What are you talking about?! I know what I'm doing, Blake. Do you not trust me?!"

"Of course, I trust you!"

"Then why do you want to send me home so badly-"

"BECAUSE I CAN'T LOSE YOU OR THE BABY!"

Blake's sudden outburst caused Ally to jump. The former villain grabbed her by the shoulders and kissed her on the lips softly. After a few seconds, he pulled away with tears in his eyes, "Babe... you're pregnant, and you're already showing. Any action, any hit or injury you take could harm, or worse, kill our unborn child. I can't risk it. I don't know what I'd do if you were to... you know. And how would Blair feel, to have to live without a mother or future brother or sister...?"

Ally didn't know what to say. She knew how protective her husband could be... but she didn't realize he was THAT protective, "Oh..." She started, "Baby... I know I'm risking my life. But you know what, all of us are risking our lives. None of us know if we'll make it out alive as we fight. But... if we do die, then we die with honor, and die knowing that we defeated the evil that has plagued us for years..."

Blake's sighed and shook his head, "Well, when you put it that way... I guess you can stay. But please don't make me have to kick myself later for this..."

"I won't... I love you..."

"I love you too..."

With that, they continued to follow the others. Jake had heard their little conversation, as he smiled to himself. Blake really did care about Ally, that he was willing to send her home as well just to protect her and the unborn baby. But Ally was willing to risk her life.

As they walked, Jake noticed Blake carrying a bag, "What's that?" He asked.

"I found this bag and put more weapons inside." Blake explained, "I have a feeling that more people might need these."

"Right..."

By the time they made it back to the huge room, they were confronted by Lizzy, Nancy, Britney, and Savannah!

"Well, well, well..." Lizzy sneered, "Looks like someone managed to get into our weapons room."

Charlie shrugged, "Guilty as charged. Honestly, Liz. I never thought you'd get yourself roped into this mess again. I think you might be worse than Blake at this point." He said.

Blake stepped forward, "For once, I agree. What happened to you, Liz...? You were so loyal to me..."

"And so were you!" Lizzy shot back, "But now! It's time to pay for your crimes."

Jumping up, she gave both Blake and Charlie kicks in the faces, knocking them down, "Who else wants some?" She demanded, "I can take all of you fuckers at once if you'd like."

"I'll take you!" Izzy said, glaring at her evil double, "I've fought you before and won, I can do it again."

Lizzy shrugged, "Suit yourself. But let it be known that I've been training over the years. So fighting me is basically suicide."

"Are you sure about this, Iz?" Jake asked.

"I've got this... trust me..." Izzy assured him with a smile and quick kiss, before turning to her double. The cat fight, continued from all those years ago when saving Skylar and her friends, had begun.

Maia soon jumped in, "Let me help you, Mom!"

As for Jake himself, he faced the three death fakers, "I'd hate to actually hit any of you women..."

"So, you better let me handle them!" Renee' stood forward, cracking her knuckles, "I'm ready to whoop some ass up in here!"

"Count me in." Sophie added, "I've got an urge to throw punches right about now."

Stephanie was watching this from the stage with amusement. So the fools decide to fight back? Well, no matter, with the forces she had, they're bound to lose anyways... "How cute? They think they can win with their small army... how sad..."

She turned to Kiara, who was still fuming, "Why don't you take care of Jake and Blake over there, the ones you truly want to seek vengeance on...?"

"Blake more so than Jake..." Kiara corrected, "But I'll be just as happy to take care of both..."

"Go get 'em, my little one..."

With that, Kiara jumped down, her fists glowing even more intensely, as she advanced slowly towards Blake, who soon noticed her, "Hey, kid. Listen, I know I hurt your Mom and all, and whatever I saw next won't matter to you, but I want you to know that I'm sorry, and it won't happen again-"

"SHUT UP!" The girl screamed, shooting a beam at Blake, who dodged it easily. Kiara was not going to give up that easily though, as she continued attacking, with Blake blocking her beams with his sword.

As for Jake... his main target was to apprehend Stephanie. He wanted the woman to pay for her crimes. She made a huge mistake in messing with him, his friends, his family, and this whole world.

This was his chance to finally take down this evil organization...

And he was not going to back down this time...

Aw, coconuts. Some chiz is about to go down. So we got a bit of action here, but next chapter is where the realness begins to happen. And it will all come to a climax very soon, where the outcome may surprise you... then again, it may not. Anyways, here's a preview:

"Ha! Look at you, you can't even stand on your own!" Deville laughed as Jake attempted to limp away with support from the wall. The former pirate couldn't fight anymore. He glared at his enemy.

"You will suffer the consequences for what you've done to my family!" He growled, pointing his sword at Deville.

The villain in response, kicked him in the side, causing him to fall to the floor. He then took out a knife, "Now then, I believe it's time to end this once and for all, Jacob... and once you're gone... I'm thinking Izzy may need a new lover..."

Jake coughed up blood, "Y-Y-You bastard..."

Deville then raised the knife, but before he could bring it down, something happened that neither him nor Jake had ever expected.

Didn't think Deville was dead and done for when Charlie shot him down, did ya? We'll see the outcome of this battle next chapter, and see what was so surprising. So, with that said, I'll see you guys later, and don't forget to review, please. Thank you!
