Alright, who's ready for some major-league action?
Large crowd in football stadium: YAAAAAAAH! (crush cans on their heads, wave large foam-fingers, swing shirts over their heads… some blow fire-torches in the air)
0_o …Okay then….
Reviewer Thanks
SweetAngel1183: Gosh, I hope you didn't wear out your caps-lock. Now, get off your knees and enjoy this next chapter! Afterwards, you can start on my chores. (lol just kidding… maybe XD)
MG6: *slaps forehead* Curse all those words that sound alike but are spelled differently! …Thanks for the nit-pick! Here's some incredibly epic violence for ya!
Horseygirl96: Yay, I made you laugh! :D …And yes, it shall be awesome.
EventHorizon6: Tell me about it- she's like a cockroach, you can't kill her! …Or CAN you? No need to scream (SweetAngel already did enough of that) here's the epic-ness. Thank you!
Disclaimer: I don't own Treasure Planet. Otherwise, we would have seen more actiony-bits in the movie… that is, if I could come up with something more epic, which I can't, so that's why Disney owns it and I just own this made-up story :p

It was as if everything was in slow motion.
Jim approached Kenta, both of them giving sharp glares to one another. "Outta my way, Hawkins," Kenta snapped as she pointed her laser-pistol at his forehead. "This is between me and the cyborg… I suggest you not allow yourself to get involved,"
Jim pointed his laser-pistol at her, aiming right between her eyes. "I was involved when you messed with my family, from the very beginning," he said darkly.
They sneered at each other, each of them aiming their guns at one another's head, preparing to pull the trigger before the other. "It's a Zyronian Stand-Off!" Gene whispered to Louigi.
"Lets just hope Jim's quicker than Kenta." Louigi replied.
Tesoro stood off to the side next to Tyson and Wulfgang. "We've got to do something," Tesoro whispered.
"Already on it, lass," Tyson said. "Wulf, when I say 'now', ya open a portal beneath Jim, an' send him back tah deh ship, along wit' deh others,"
"Okay… but what're you going to do?" Wulfgang asked.
Tyson scowled. "I'll handle Kenta…"
"Tyson-" Tesoro gasped, but Tyson raised his hand to silence her.
"Shh. Quiet now…"
"Go on, Hawkins… pull the trigger. I dare you," Kenta scoffed.
Jim glowered at Kenta, squeezing the trigger. He wanted to kill her, he wanted to make her pay for everything she had done to him, Silver, and everyone else he loved. But he couldn't… Why couldn't he pull the trigger? "You're better than that, James," Anthony's voice came, and his father's spirit was standing right next to him. "A strong man may be able to pull the trigger… but a wise man knows there's a better solution."
Jim bit his bottom lip. There WAS no better solution, except taking Kenta to court and having her hang. But he knew it would be impossible, since she was willing to kill, and wouldn't be taken down without a fight. He knew he had to kill her… didn't he?
"Think about Tess, Jim… You think she'd want to watch her father kill someone?"
Jim slowly turned his gaze toward Tesoro, where he saw her watching him, a hint of worry in her eyes. He knew she would want him to kill Kenta for what she had done to Jonesy and Tyson… but he knew that wasn't the example he wanted her to live by. He didn't want her to learn to kill for revenge… he didn't want her to be like Kenta. He faced Kenta, lowering his pistol. "No, Kenta… I'm not like you." he said coldly.
Kenta laughed, squeezing her trigger. "Suit yourself, Hawkins…" she said.
"Now, Wulf!" Tyson said, and Wulfgang swung his claws…
*ZAP!*
Everyone froze, hearing the shot echo around the room. They all thought it came from Kenta, but even she froze in surprise. A half-portal stood beneath Jim's left leg, making him lose his balance and fall to the ground. "What the…?" he sputtered, pulling his left leg out of the portal and watching it disappear.
It was only Tesoro who wasn't confused on the mysterious shot, as she looked back at Wulfgang, who was suddenly lying against the side of a golden pyramid, a burn-mark on the front of his sweater. "Wulfgang!" she screamed, then looked up to where the direction of the blast came from… her eyes widening in fear. "No…"
Everyone followed her gaze, stunned at what they saw. "It… it can't be!" Foxy gasped. "He was…"
"Dead?" Silver Huntz scoffed, chuckling as he held his laser-rifle. "It would take more than some laser-blast to stop ME, you wretched beast."
"But… how'd he get past Scyllassica?" Valerie wondered to herself.
Huntz began to step down the golden stairway, smirking. "I'm a hunter, my dear. I killed that monster easily…" he glowered at Foxy and Wulfgang. "Just as easily as I killed Zachary… and as easily as I'm going to kill you."
"Leave them alone!" Sapphire snapped, raising her glowing fists. But Huntz was fast and shot her with a tranquilizer, making her go numb.
"I expected you to be more grateful, Princess, lifting a burden your family was stuck with,"
"They're not… a burden! They're… my friends!" Sapphire struggled to get up, but fell to the ground, weakened by the darts.
Huntz then looked at Wulfgang, holding up his revolver loaded with silver bullets. "Now, to collect my trophy…"
"Don't you dare!" Tesoro screamed, running in front of Wulfgang and wrapping her arms around him. I'm not going to lose my boyfriend again! She thought.
"You're pathetic… Willing to stand up for that wretched creature! Why? Because you 'love' him? You're just as bad as the creature himself…" he aimed at her. "The only reason why I would kill a human."
Anthony then noticed something out of the corner of his eye and gasped. "Jim, look ou-" he tried to warn, but it was too late.
While everyone was distracted by Huntz, Kenta took the opportunity to shoot Jim in the shoulder. "Agh!" he cried, then grabbed his pistol, ready to shoot back, but Kenta shot it out of his hand.
"Huntz, you take care of the brats," Kenta said, aiming her pistol at the others. "I'll handle the rest,"
*BAM!*
Tyson shoulder-slammed Kenta, making her hit the jewel-studded wall. She stood back up and faced Tyson, growling in anger and lunging at him… no one noticing that one of the jewels began to flash. She shot at Tyson, but his amplified hearing helped him sense her blasts and dodge them, and the vibrations of her movement guided him so he knew where to swing a punch. Huntz, meanwhile, hurried to shoot Tesoro and Wulfgang, but was tackled by Foxy, making him pull the trigger and send off a gun-shot, the bullet flying through the air and hitting a jewel on the ceiling, which began to flash as well. The young Lycan clawed his face, leaving him with a deep scrape trailing down his face, and he snarled and kicked her stomach, pushing her off of him, then preparing to stab her with his knife once again… until Valerie cut in and kicked him in the side of the head, making him hit it on the corner of a golden pyramid and become unconscious.
Kenta dodged a punch Tyson threw, ducking it and swinging her leg upward, kicking him in the back of the shin and knocking his legs out from under him. She then shifted her hands into knives. "Time to finish you off, once and for all…" she said, pulling her knives back, ready to strike…
Until a sudden rumbling sound shook the cave, and the ground began to quake as every jewel embedded in the walls and ceiling began to flash. It could only mean one thing… "It's a booby TRAP!" BEN shouted in alarm.
Kenta lost her balance, falling to the ground and giving Tyson a chance to stand up and run. Natalie rushed over to Jim, draping his arm around her shoulders and helping him stand. "We've got to get out of here," she told the others. "Gene, you and Louigi help Silver and BJ. Valerie, you and Foxy help Wulfgang and Sapphire. Tesoro, you guide Tyson!"
"How come you're giving the orders?" Jim asked.
"Because, dear, you're too injured to resume your authority!"
"Yeah, but my mouth isn't!"
Natalie rolled her eyes. "Fine, give your orders, then!"
He turned to the others. "Guys… Do what my wife said!"
Natalie shook her head. "Men."
Everyone rushed toward the stairway, stopping dead in their tracks when they saw them beginning to melt, and chunks of stone and jewels fell from the ceiling, blocking their only exit!
Then the unthinkable happened: the jewels burst out of the walls, and lava began to flow down and flood the ground! "We've got to get to higher ground!" Foxy said.
"Everyone, climb onto the pyramids! They're our only chance!" Jim ordered.
Everyone scrambled on top of the nearest pyramid as lava rolled across the ground. Huntz came to just in time, seeing Foxy and Valerie pulling Wulfgang up a pyramid. Gritting his teeth, he aimed his gun at them, anger boiling inside of him. Then, he discovered that it wasn't just anger that boiled him… but lava as well! He gasped, seeing that a low-tide of lava was melting away his boots, and he hopped on one foot to the other, his feet burning! He tried to run to a pyramid, but his feet were burned too much that he stumbled in pain, falling backward into the stream of lava! "Good riddance," BJ huffed, turning to see the hunter meet his death.
Everyone came close to the top of the pyramid, noticing that the lava was now beginning to rise, and that the pyramid wouldn't be high enough to save them. "Oh, we're doomed!" BEN wailed. "I never thought that I'd go THIS way- melted down like a pile of scrap! Oh, the humanity!"
Tesoro looked over, seeing a series of bridges connected the pyramids, and four of the pyramids lead to the fifth- the tallest, widest pyramid, which was nearly half a mile away. "Guys, this way!" Tesoro said, holding Tyson's hand as she pulled him toward the bridge.
"Where are ya takin' me?" Tyson demanded
"There's a large pyramid across this bridge. It'll be high enough to keep us away from the lava!"
"No offense, Tessy, but wouldn't we be BURNED ALIVE before we reached it?" Valerie snapped, noticing how fast the lava was rising, and it would be a matter of minutes before it flooded the bridge.
"It's worth a shot," Tesoro ran down to the bridge.
"It still sounds stu-"
"LISTEN TO THE GIRL!" Everyone shouted, then ran down to the bridge, passing Tesoro and Tyson as they hastily made their way across.
Valerie blinked, then ran after them, carrying Sapphire. "Hey, wait for me!"
Everyone ran across the bridge, Natalie and Jim in the lead while Tesoro and Tyson took the back. They were half-way across when the unthinkable happened: the moon-shaped jewel in the ceiling burst out of its socket, and landed on the bridge, crushing it and making a gap in the middle… separating Tesoro and Tyson from the others. "Tesoro!" Jim screamed.
"Dad!" Tesoro shouted, stopping dead in her tracks at the edge of the broken bridge, Tyson pulling her back before she slipped.
"What now?" Tyson asked, knowing that the situation wasn't good.
Tesoro frantically looked around, seeing a bridge leading from another pyramid to theirs, with a second bridge leading to the largest one. "We've got to take another bridge," She began guiding Tyson back…
…Until Kenta Jade jumped down from the top of the pyramid, landing in front of her. "'Fraid I can't let you do that, child," she said darkly, holding her knifed-hands at her waist. "I've come too far to let my revenge grow cold."
"Well, maybe a little HEAT will help!" Tyson snapped, lunging and punching Kenta upside the jaw, planning on knocking her into the lava. She snarled in frustration and kicked him in the gut, making him slam into the bridge's railing and fall over. Quickly, he grabbed onto the edge.
"Tyson!" Tesoro screamed, running over to the railing and grabbing his hands, trying to pull him up. Kenta snuck up behind her, chuckling evilly.
"Oh, this is just perfect," the pirate-woman said, raising her knives. "Say hello to your grandfather, for me…"
"Tell him yourself!" A voice shouted from above, and Kenta looked up, seeing a tall, scrawny figure falling toward her and kicking her in the face. She stumbled backward, her heels sliding over the edge of the broken bridge and she flailed her arms out, trying to grab onto something.
Sadly, her knifed-hands were for stabbing, not grabbing, and she fell over the edge and into the ocean of lava, screaming all the way down.
"Ew," Shifter said, shuddering as she watched her ex-master meet her fate.
Tesoro began sliding over the railing, unable to support Tyson's weight. "Hang on, Tyson! I've gotcha!" she grunted, determined to save her friend.
"Tessy…" Tyson said, feeling her ready to fall.
Tesoro then slipped half-way over the edge. Before the other half of her fell, though, an extra set of hands grabbed hold of her waist and hoisted her up, pulling both her and Tyson back onto the bridge. She looked over to see her rescuer, and her jaw dropped. "J-Jonesy?" she looked over, seeing that Wulfgang was still on the other side. "But… how?"
"I'll explain later. C'mon, we've got to get to higher ground!" Jonesy replied, grabbing Tesoro and Tyson's hands, pulling them toward the pyramid and climbing to the top, and they watched as the lava engulfed the bridge, and they looked across, seeing that the others had made it safely to the largest pyramid.
Morph and Shifter flew over to them, and the pink protoplasm squealed with delight at the sight of Jonesy, beginning to lick his face. "Jonesy! Jonesy!" he squealed, nuzzling up to the cabin-boy's cheek.
"Yay, you're alive!" Shifter exclaimed, whirling around Tesoro's head and nuzzling against her cheek.
"Yeah… but we won't be for long," Tesoro said, pointing at the fast-rising lava.
Morph and Shifter looked at each other, then turned into a twin set of light-bulbs, developing an idea. Stretching as far as they could, the two blobs combined their shape-shifting skills and changed into a solar-surfer. "Alright!" Jonesy exclaimed, hopping on.
"Oof!" The two blobs grunted.
Jonesy then frowned, seeing a problem. "But, there's only room for two,"
Tesoro looked at Tyson. "You go," she told him.
"Tess, ya don't have tah-" Tyson began to protest.
"It's not a suggestion, it's an order- go! You've been separated from your family too much," She shoved him onto the solar-surfer.
"Tessy, what about you?" Jonesy asked. "We can't leave you, either!"
"You're going to have to, Jonesy," Tesoro said. "Save yourselves…"
"But… I want to save all of us,"
"You already did, Jonesy… Now, I'm returning a favor," she reached up and pulled his head down, kissing his lips. She then looked down at the solar-surfer. "Now, go!"
The solar-surfer shot off… but Jonesy and Tyson jumped off of it. "No way, lass! If one of us goes down, we all go down!" Tyson snapped.
"Tyson!"
"Don't try to argue, Tesoro!" Jonesy snapped, wrapping his arm around her. "We're sticking together, no matter what!"
The lava rose, inches from reaching the top. "You guys made a huge mistake, you know."
"Aye… but it's better than making the mistake of leaving you behind," Tyson said.
They all hung on to each other, bracing themselves for the intense heat. The others watched from the top of the largest pyramid, most of them unleashing tears. …Though, one of them was missing.
The lava was just a foot away from engulfing Tesoro, Jonesy, and Tyson. "Gentlemen, it was a pleasure sailing with you," Tesoro said, hugging her friends closely.
"Et tu, Tess," Jonesy added.
They didn't know what happened next. Jonesy felt a tug on the back of his shirt, and suddenly he was yanked up into the air, hanging on to Tyson and Tesoro as they flew higher and higher. "What deh devil..?" Tyson gasped, then looked upward.
…seeing BJ was riding the protoplasmic solar-surfer. "'Ello, pups," she said, looking down at them, her wound quickly healing.
"BJ! What…?" Tesoro gasped.
"Lets jus' say, I owe ya kids," With that, they shot off toward the largest pyramid, landing on the top in front of the others, who cheered and ran over to them.
Morph and Shifter dispersed back to their original forms, panting. "Oy…" they both said, melting to the ground, completely exhausted.
Jim and Natalie hugged their daughter while Silver wrapped his sons in a hug. "Jonesy! Where've ya been, lad?" Silver asked, chuckling as he tussled his son's hair.
"I'll tell you later," Jonesy replied.
A chunk of the ceiling fell, splashing into the lava. "Ya might not get another chance, Jonesy." BJ said. "Might as well…"
"How about we get out of here, THEN he can tell the story, hmm?" a voice asked.
"Oh? An' how are ya planning on gettin' us ou-" Silver began to question, turning to see a rope-ladder hanging from a hole in the ceiling, which led all the way up to a waiting ship. Standing on the rope ladder was none other than Captain Amelia. "Oh…"
Without hesitation, everyone climbed up the ladder into the night-time sky, watching as Dorado 6, the city of gold, became nothing but a lava-filled mountain.

A/N: Okay… so the fight-scene wasn't exactly THAT epic. Or violent. …I'm disappointed in myself. But, hey, it wasn't THAT bad, right? …Right?
