I turned around and fully saw the explosion from the spires. A red tent had flooded the room and I stared shell shocked. I had forgotten about this for a moment and I watched the fire grow and heard more booms.

"Flint wanted to make sure that nobody could ever steal his treasure so, he rigged this whole planet to blow HIGHER THAN A KALESPIAN KITE!" B.E.N yelled. I watched as one of the spires from the roof fall and cut into the metal core, splitting it into four. Treasure scattered into the lava underneath the core upon impact. A laser then drags itself across the surface destroying everything in its path. The crew was running around trying to find a way out of here and screaming in horror.

"Run Jimmy and Emmie! Run for your lives!" B.E.N yelled grabbing my brother by his arm. Morph just looked around scared.

"You go back and help the Captain and Doc." Jim ordered. "If I'm not back there in five minutes leave without me!" He ducked underneath the controls and start to mess with the wires to start it up. Another explosion went off and Morph flew into my pocket to hide.

"I am not leaving my buddy Jimmy!" B.E.N yelled and grabbed his ankles. He then dragged him out only to receive a dark look. "Unless he looks at me like that. Hehe... BYE JIM!" The robot said and dropped his legs and ran. I knelt down and moved some gold out of the way.

"Emma go!" He yelled.

"I'm not leaving you behind! I'm staying here whether you like it or not!" I said.

He then looked at me all serious. "This isn't up for discussion sis. Get out of here. I lost you once and I'm not losing you again."

"It wasn't your fault! Just start this thing so we can get out of here!" I said and started fiddling around with the controls to see if any of them worked yet. Jim gave me a glare and I glared back. He returned working and I faintly heard screams of the crew as they either ran out or fall to their fiery deaths and lasers destroying the core.

Jim finally got the ship up and running and took the wheel. Morph flew excitedly out of my pocket and around him. Good thing he did in time since I saw another explosion come from where the ship rested.

"Yes! Morph, Emma we're so out of here!" He exclaimed. I smiled proudly at him. We're gonna make it! I thought but, the excitement didn't last long.

"Ah, Jimbo, Em," Silver called. We both turned our heads around and saw the pirate climbing on the deck. "Aren't yeh teh seventh wonder of teh universe?"

I glanced around and saw a sword buried in gold and other treasure on my left. I quickly grabbed it and pointed the long blade at him, anger in my eyes. "GET BACK!" I yelled at him. I'm standing in front of my brother and he glanced at me anxiously.

I'm done living in fear. I've spent my whole life scared and pushed around like a slave. It's time to stand up for myself. It's time to not be afraid and walk this world. Silver stared at the blade for a few seconds and gave me a hard look directed at me.

"I like yeh both, but I've come too far ta let yeh both stand between me and me treasure." Silver said as he stepped forward pushing me back until I bumped into Jim. My legs shook nervously as he walked to us. I regret grabbing that sword.

Then out of the blue, a laser tore in the bow of the ship and send us flying off. Silver managed to grab onto the ship's edge while we bounced off the nearby platform and we slid down the wall until we both grabbed onto a small ledge. "Don't look down!" Jim said but I did. When I saw that river of lava I screamed. We both tried to pull ourselves up but thanks for the lack of proper nutrition I didn't have the strength and neither did Jim.

Silver noticed us and used his metal arm to latch onto the ship's stern and reached out for us with his flesh hand. "Reach for me now! Reach!" He hollered. We both stretched out one of our hands but there wasn't enough distance.

"I can't!" Jim said.

"Me either!" I said.

The ledge we were holding onto retracted into the wall. I screamed as I fell a few feet. A hand grabbed one of mine and I looked up to see Jim holding another ledge with one hand and mine in the other. It was slowly retracting into the wall. Tears are forming in my eyes and I saw Jim trying to keep a grip. He looked at me and I gave him a sad smile. I was about to let go when I heard Silver's voice.

"Oh, blast me for a fool!" He shouted. Jim lost his grip and we began to fall. We screamed and jerked to a stop. I looked up nervously to find Silver grabbing onto Jim's wrist. He swung us both up and Jim helped him pull me up onto the platform. Jim wrapped me in hug tightly and I hugged back letting a few tears fall. Morph immediately attacked us with licks and squealed in excitement that we're alive. We all looked up in time to see the ship explode from one of the lasers. We covered our heads and ran out of there with my bag bouncing against my back as we ran away from the exploding core of Treasure Planet.

We jumped back through the portal and spent a second catching our breaths.

"Silver, you gave up the—" I started.

"Just a life long obsession Emma. I'll get over it." He answered. I furrowed my eyebrows skeptically. He was brushing it off like it wasn't a big deal but I know otherwise.

"Aloha Jimmy and Emmie!" B.E.N called as the R.L.S Legacy pulled up besides us. "Hurry people. We got exactly two minutes and thirty four seconds till planet's destruction!" He was holding the compass from his chest and the other side was a mini control panel. The three of us glanced at each other.

Delbert is driving the ship since Amelia's injuries permitted her from moving her arms very much. She sat behind him giving him directions. I knew they managed to escape their guard in the chaos. As Delbert directed the ship closer to us he accidentally banged it against the ground and we backed up to avoid being hit.

"We were better off on exploding planet!" I heard one of them scream. Jim climbed into the ship first then reached over the side and hoisted me up. When Silver was on the ship Delbert began to fly us away from the planet.

"Cap'n!" Silver cried. "Yeh dropped from teh heaven's in teh nick o'—"

"Save your claptrap for the judge, Silver!" Amelia interrupted him. Silver chuckled nervously knowing he was in big trouble when we get home.

We made good progress getting away when a flying chunk of metal crashed through the mast above. It broke and fell on the deck bringing a solar sail with it and broke lots of machinery and metal. The ship started to slow down and lose altitude.

"Mizzen sail demobilized Captain!" B.E.N said looking at the ship's database. "Thrusters at only thirty percent of capacity!"

"Thirty percent!" Delbert gasped, turning to face Amelia who looked at him worried. "That means... we'll never clear the planet's explosion in time."

I sucked in a deep breath as the situation got worse. I looked at my brother but, he ran to the observation deck and was looking back towards the portal. I looked at the broken thrusters lying uselessly on the deck. We met eyes and the same idea clicked.

"We've got to turn around!" He said leaping down the stairs. I began to rip a piece of metal off the side of the ship.

"What?" Amelia asked not believing what she heard.

"There's a portal back there! It can get us out of here!" I said and he came over to help.

"Pardon me, Jim, Emma, but didn't that portal open into a raging inferno?!" Delbert shouted hysterically.

"Yes," Jim said grunting as we ripped out a piece of metal from the ship's side. "But we're gonna change that. We're gonna open a different door."

"Captain, really I-I just don't see how this is—"

"Listen to the kids!" Silver interrupted and came over to help.

"One minute and twenty nine seconds 'til planet's destruction!" B.E.N hollered. I grabbed a piece of rope tried to tied the thruster to the metal.

"What do yeh need?" Silver asked.

"Just some way to attach this." Jim answered.

"All right. Stand back. Stand back now!" Silver said and turned his metal hand to the blowtorch setting. He welded the thruster to the metal and the two picked up the makeshift solar surfer. "There yeh go." Silver said.

"There yeh go." Morph repeated. Jim walked over to me and I stared at the floor. He put his hand on my shoulder and I looked up at him. "Want to get some lessons?" He asked. I gawked at him and nodded excited.

"This is the worst time to ask though." I said. He chuckled and helped me on the front part of the surfer. "Make sure your foot is steady." He said as I did what I was supposed to do. He got on too and we stared at Silver dead in the eye.

"Okay, now no matter what happens, keep that ship headed straight for that portal." Jim said.

"Please." I added.

"Fifty eight seconds!" B.E.N shouted. The look in his eyes changed to determination and motioned me to stare foreword. I did and see fires, lava, and pieces of the planet soaring into the air. He started the ignition and we flew into the air.

We went through the air skating off metal to avoid getting hit by other debris. When the engine was about to give out he started it again and we soared around debris, lasers, and explosions. We skirted around metal and I was loving this. The engine gave out and we started falling. "No. No!" Jim yelled as he desperately tried to start it up again.

I glanced around the walls and got an idea. "Jim!" I yelled.

"What?" He asked still focused on the task.

"Turn the engine to the metal wall and let it slide on it!"

"Why?"

"It'll get a jumpstart!"

"On three! One. Two. Three!"

We both jumped as we flipped it backwards to the wall. The engine slides down the metal wall and it glowed orange. It finally got rebooted and we went back up like a rocket. "Good thinking!" He said. We flew in front of the ship and I could hear B.E.N counting.

"Seven! Six! Five! Four! Three! Two!"

Jim grabbed my wrist and when we were close enough to the portal I pressed the button for Montessor Space Port.
