This is my latest chapter. fair warning there's some easter eggs let me know if you see them. Also I still don't own the characters and shows they come from. Please leave a review, and comment.
August 9 1886, meanwhile in New York Thrax freed many prisoners and Toffee, Gargoyle, and his rouge KKK army lay siege on the city, and the British Empire forces Jones, who destroyed half of the U.S. Navy forces and New York is almost is almost fully taken only half of the city still stands defiant, against the enemy forces.
In another part of the world in Bombay sea, the survivors of the kraken attack on the Nautilus, are searching for means to enter the after-life. But it turns out getting to the land of the dead isn't the hard part. It's getting back.
In the many days in the search Jean's built an aircraft. His current one is based off Da Vinci's idea for a helicopter, with added touches to move it, raise and lower it as well as make steam powered. Dipper wrote in his new journal that started with the creatures and beings of the Mysterious Island or some called it Skull Island, named it after the Skull Crawlers. He's even wrote about the cursed gold of Cortez himself, Davy Jones, his crew and the Kraken, even if he only got the tentacles.
Connie's been with Steven, Nadia, Ashitaka and San searching through books, ancient scrolls, to search for ways to enter the after-life. Mabel been secretly sending letters to their friends in Gravity Falls, NY, Boston, the Cheyenne, and Mewni.
The Pirate Captain, his misfit crew, Grandis and her henchmen, the Asian twins, the crew of the Nautilus been crewing a steam ship. As Ms. Grandis fell head over heals for Nemo. His mustache shows wisdom and maturity, his long hair blowing in the wind of the sea, she acts like a school girl falling for the handsome boy in school.
The Crystal Gems adds their aids, Lapis uses her water powers to control the water, to increase the speed of the ship, Pearl and Garnet help unfold the sails, Bismuth kept shoveling in coals into the fire. Amethyst kept Marie entertained with her clowning tricks and with the animals. Peridot also helped by reading maps to see where they're heading.
Soon after entering the Bombay docks Nemo, San, Ashitaka, Jean, Mowgli, and Garnet leave the ship to search local temple archives to find a way to enter the after-life.
Nemo says to his fellow traveling companions: "Remember, the Hindu monks of this country have many different ways of entering the after-life spiritually. Plus show some respect to them." They all nodded in understanding, Mowgli is wearing cloths, instead of loincloth, but feels uncomfortable, being in a big city.
As they walked through the streets, Ashitaka asks Nemo: "Nemo, do you believe the monks will let us see their ancient texts?" Nemo answers with uncertainty: "I'm not sure. But a library is open to the people who wish to read and learn."
Aboard the steam ship, Connie, Dipper, Nadia, and Mabel still kept looking through texts and books searching for more answers on ways to enter the After-life. Mabel says in boredom: "Ahh! We've been searching through all these books for hours!"
Dipper annoyingly corrects her: "It's only been 12 minutes. You've only read one book. We've read 6 all at once making 18 total." Nadia asks the male twin about the books: "Why are we searching through these books still? We've read them a thousand times." Connies answers instead: "We know, but we could've over looked something. In each culture, religion, and mythology spoke of ways to enter the after-life. Alcmene, Castor, Hercules, Odysseus, and Morpheus. All entered and returned back. So if they found a way in, so can we." She said reading how Hercules did in the novelization, but each different Hercules book it's a different version, of the same story so it's making things difficult.
Meanwhile Steven takes Marie out to have some fun, in a foreign land. They originally wanted to take Lion, but he was tied and sleeping. At first they were disappointed, but then they went with plan B; Jean's new aircraft.
Steven puts Marie in first then he hops in. Marie asks: "Do you know how to fly Jean's new machine?" Steven answers holding a book hidden in flying machine: "Yes. It comes with an instruction manual." He said and reads the book and sees the pictures to explains how to turns it on, and which leavers to pull. So Steven opens the deck floor doors and pulls the left leaver to start the wooden gears to move, rotating spiral and they begin to hover slowly into the air and beginning to fly over Bombay.
Back with Nemo and his traveling companions who reach their destination. But Jean, Ashitaka and San remembered can't read Hindu. But Nemo brought them along so they can give him the books while he dose the reading.
The eldest priest who had a long beard, and wearing traditional robs, steps forward and bows in respect to Nemo and his friend. The elder priest says to his visitors: "Welcome everyone. What do we of the pleasure of your visit?" Nemo answers: "We seek in you temple's library. We're looking for very particular set. With your permission." The Priest replies: "Yes. Which books, scrolls do you wish to read?" Nemo answers: "On ways to enter the after-life."
The priest felt disturbed by the request and says: "That's going to be difficult. We've collected numerous books, of different ways of life after death. But feel free to look." So he guides them to temple's underground library, but the only ones who didn't go are Jean, San and Mowgli. Ashitaka questions his friends: "Are you coming?"
Jean answers: "I would love, but I can't read Hindu." San adds: "And Mowgli and I can't read at all." Knowing this, he still asks: "What will you do?" Jean answers: "We might walk around town see a few sights and return back to the ship."
So, Nemo, Ashitaka and Garnet follow the elder priest into the underground library who uses a torch to see in the dark, while Jean, San and Mowgli head into town, to get a look of Bombay. They see other temples, shops, even seeing something classic; a man playing the flute and a cobra rising out of a basket. Mowgli and San were impressed by this. Mowgli says: "That is amazing." San adds: "That's true. how can he do that?" Jean states animals have different like to music. Jean quotes a saying: "The softest song can soothes the savage beast. But different song different reaction."
Elsewhere Steven and Marie reaches the town, and lands near the Bombay Circus. As the Gypsy boy and young girl exit the flying machine. The a couple walks by them and are intrigued by the invention. The Indian man asks: "By Shiva's arms! What is this strange contraption?" Steven tries to come up with an answer: "It's...uh...the aircraft of the future." Marie says in agreement while advertising as well: "See the aircraft of the future! Only five dollars!" The man says in shock: "Five dollars?! That's two week salary!" Marie says in disagreement: "Nah, it's chump change." The Hindi man replies: "I'll give you five cents to tour search a future craft, and not a penny more."
Marie says in understanding: "Okie-madokie. We're easy." She said being polite, as they were being watched by the leader pf the circus a man in his late 30s or early 40's with short blond hair, wearing blue plants, black boots, a white long sleeve shirt and hat, pink shirt underneath, his names is John J. Hargrives, who sees this and says to his assistant: "Can you believe that? A couple of twerps with a new fangled machine. If I had a exibxit like that, I be raking in the do-ray-me-sou-money. Instead I'm playing babysitter to a bunch of misshapen freaks, a few beasts, and a bunch of make-up wearing fools." The assistant replies: "I don't know sir. We're the world renowned Bombay circus. People from all over the world to see us." He stated his opinion.
Hargrives says in somewhat agreement: "Yeah, but I need a new spectate. Something the world's never seen." He said as Steven holding Marie's hand and enter the circus.
Before entering the big top, the look to see performers who entertained before showing their feeds inside. The belly dancing women, the man eating fires, and swords, the bearded lady, snake man, cyclops and people playing instruments of India. They had games, and food stands. Steven and Marie played some games, and got food from the stands, they bought popcorn, ice cream, and lemonade. They saw the animals in cages they see lions, tigers, and bears the crowd of people including Steven and Marie says in amazement: "Oh my!"
As they continue to walk around, Marie speaks her thoughts: "I wish Jean, Nadia and the others were here with us." Steven says to the young girl: "I know some of them would like it, but I doubt San and Mowgli would like it. Since both were raised by wolves, and care for other animals." Marie says in understanding: "You're right. Being raised in the wild, seeing animals in cages would horrible for them." They said as they passed three men who over heard them.
The first one is an large body older man with a grey beard, wearing a yellow shirt and turban and grey pants who sees an opportunity for some money. His name is Riswan the hunter. His friends both wearing turbans while one wore a shirt, the other has no shirt.
Riswan says to his friend: "Did you two hear? Those two said about a boy and girl raised by wolves. The man with a shirt says in disbelief: "Yeah, but that sounds far fetch." The other man says in agreement: "Yeah, sounds like a wild goose chase." They didn't believe the idea, so Riswan replies to change their minds: "How ever if it's true. We can all make a bit of money." After hearing 'money' they will help, so long as they get paid.
Jean still intrigued by Hindu culture, seeing the fabric with numerous colors so were San and Mowgli at first intrigued, but then they are starting board and hungry so they decided to head back to the ship. San says to Jean: "Listen Jean, as much we like seeing the temples, shops, and other things. But we're gonna head back to the ship." Mowgli in agreement: "Yeah. As much as I like to understand my Hindu heritage, I'm getting hungry. We'll see you back at the ship." Jean says in understanding: "Alright. Stay safe you two." San sounding arrogant: "Seriously Jean, it's us. I was raised by wolf spirits, and Mowgli was raised by wolves on the Mysterious Island. I think we can handle ourselves." The Japanese woman, and young man walked heading back to the ship, Riswan and his men, watch as they leave.
Man 1 asks: "So Riswan, how are we gonna lure those two, to us?" Riswan answers: "I'll coup them with offering of food at the hunter's restaurant. There they'll will eat their fill." Man 2 questions: "So they'll just eat?" Riswan corrects: "Yes, but unknown to them I added sleeping powder. That way they'll fall asleep and we can sell them to the circus." Both nodded in understanding and both wicked snicker.
Back in the temple's Library Nemo and Garnet reads the looking through the ancient texts and books while Jean and Ashitaka pull/carry the books, scrolls and stone tables that may hold the key to the after-life. Garnet with her three eyes she can read faster. Nemo kept looking; but there's still a thousands of historical text. They've read over 167 text and barely scratch the surface.
Garnet says while looking at a scroll: "We've been searching through these old scrolls. There is so much wisdom it's, hard to tell which one is right." Nemo also still reading a stone tablet written in sand script who replies: "Just keep looking." They still kept looking in every text that go back to before Christ.
Marie and Steven were watching the show of the circus. Both laughed as they watch the clowns doing pranks like pie in the face, juggling, and pull out balloons. Then they see the animals doing classical tricks like bear standing on a large ball, elephants standing on two with rider on their backs, the acrobatics on the tops balanced on rope. The whole crowd watched in amazement as they cheered and clap.
Meanwhile San and Mowgli were still trying to head back to the ship, but got lost on the way, and to make matters worse, they walked into open air food stands, selling foods of Asia, India, and the Middle east. Mowgli says as he hears his stomach growl: "You know passing all these food stands and smelling foods from different lands are starting to make me hungry." San replies in agreement: "Yeah I know what you mean."
Then a man's says: "Excuse me, you two." The two ferals turn to the score of the voice, in a dark alley and coming out of the shadows is Riswan. Both the wild woman and boy's instincts warn about this man, so they kept their guards up.
San asks the man being suspicious: "Who are you?" The man replies acting innocent: "I was getting to that. I am Riswan the hunter at your service." He said as he bows respectfully. Mowgli asks the stranger: "What do you want?" The hunter answers: "I just happen to be in neighborhood and heard rumors of you two. And seeing you walking through a few food stands can make you hunger."
Both nod in understanding he stands behind them place his hands on their shoulders. "In fact I'll take you two, to the greatest restaurant and it's only reserved for hunters." San felt he couldn't trust him, as did Mowgli but they were hungry so logic is out the window. So they went with the hunter as he regales his time when his youth when he hunted two crocodiles, with two rifle-bullets and half a net.
Back with Nemo who found an ancient scroll of Egypt and Thailand. That they shared a book, called the "book of the dead", stating it can resurrect anyone or anything. Nemo says to everyone: "Everybody I found something." Garnet and Ashitaka walked to Nemo. "This scroll tells about the book of the dead. It can resurrect anyone's spirit even with or without a body." Garnet says in both approval and disapproval to the book of the dead: "I can see it can help but it can also resurrect mummies from their graves. But if it can bring Star back, something's are worth the risk." Ashitaka also in agreement: "We've gotten this far. Might as well go a bit further." So they begin to walk up the stares unaware how much of time passed.
As for San and Mowgli they entered the hunters restaurant. Riswan offers food: "Here's some food enough to fill your bellies." He gives them the food. Man 1: "You two won't find food like this in the jungle or forest." As the two former ferals ate their fill, Mowgli cooked meat, vegetables, and fruits while San ate meat only. Riswan says as he holds jug and two cups: "Here have some water." So the two took the two cups of water, and drink them.
Riswan began to silently snicker, but he tries to hold it in. Soon both San and Mowgli started to feel sleepy. "What's the matter?" Neither answered, then Mowgli falls asleep his left side San was still awake but barely, and asks: "Riswan, did you drugged us..." She falls back into sleep in mid-sentence.
Both Riswan and his men evilly snicker. Man 1: "It was clever to bait the two with food. The poor hungry boy and woman couldn't resist." Riswan says boosting his ego: "It was clever. It took cool nerves of steel." Man 1 asks again: "So are going to sell them to the circus?" Riswan answers: "Of corse. They're more dangerous and wild than any animal in the jungle. The only place is the circus." Man 2 questions: "What will people really pay their money to see these two?" Riswan replies: "Of course. Once they hear they grew up in the wild. Once they see the amazing feats they can do, they'll pay all they have." watched as Mowgli snored, while San just softly slept.
Man 1 says with concern: "They're still asleep. I hope you didn't give them too much." Riswan explains: "The powder is potent they'll be out for hours. But once they wake up we'll be ready." Man 2 ask about money: "So Riswan once they're sold to the circus. How are we going to divide the cash?" Riswan answers: "I'll take half, you two split the rest." Man 1 protest: "That doesn't sound fair." Riswan agrees: "That's true. I should get more for doing all the work." Man 1 retakes his protest: "We'll take half Riswan."
The sun is setting over Bombay. In the open shops, Jean felt it's time to head back to the temple which was right timing Nemo, Garnet, and Ashitaka were done and even carrying the scroll. Jean says: "Hello." Ashitaka replies: "Hello Jean. Where's San and Mowgli?" Jean answers: "They got board and headed back to the ship." Ashitaka is in relief, but Garnet sixth sense says otherwise.
They met up, and all head back to the ship, they pass the circus, seeing people coming out of the hours long show, but outside Jean says on the way: "So we got what we came for?" Ashitaka asks Jean of where their friends are: "Yes." Jean turns and sees his flyling machine and says in total shock: "Holy bovine!"
He rushes to his air-craft. "Someone stole my aircraft invention! Right down to my initials." He said in anger thinking someone stole his design of the flying machine to his initials JRR. "It must've been that buffoon who laughed at me, in London last year." As Jean express his anger, he and the others hear laughter from familiar voices.
They turn seeing Steven and Marie coming out of the circus. They have their faces painted, wearing fun hats and have popcorn, ice cream and glasses of lemonade. Marie says in joyous tone: "That was fun Steven!" Steven replies: "I know. I was born and grew up, in a circus. But that's nothing I've seen in my home." They continue to laugh. Marie says: "Those clowns were funny but Amethyst is hilarious." Steven adds: "Also those acrobatics were good, but Pearl and Nadia are probably better."
They still laugh till they see Garnet, Jean, Ashitaka and Nemo. Marie exclaims in joy: "Jean, Ashitaka, Garnet!" She runs to them Garnet picks her up.
Jean turns to Steven and asks him: "Steven did you take my air-craft?" Steven replies feeling a bit guilty but confesses either way: "Yes. But it works! The flying-machine is great." Jean quickly smiles but turns back into an upset mood. Nemo says in still a stoke tone: "Even if you say it works, you shouldn't have taken it without permission." Steven dose still feel guilty knowing he took his friend's aircraft.
Jean says to his friends: "It's alright. No harm no foul. I'll take Steven and Marie back to the ship as well as my aircraft." So he opens the side door of the aircraft, Steven slaps his head for he didn't know about the door. He still gets in, as dose Marie and Jean. Jean then turns on his flying machine and start to hover in the air.
Garnet, Ashitaka and Nemo watches as Jean's flying machine, going in the direction of the ship. Garnet adjust her glasses and says in a stoke tone but with a hint of pride: "It looks like Jean's aircraft is sure success." Ashitaka says in agreement: "I see. Jean loves flying, being in the sky. I wouldn't be surprised if his spirit animal was an eagle." Nemo didn't say a word, but he sees why Nadia loves him. He'd be proud to call him his son-in-law.
As the two groups reach the ship, and Jean puts the flying below deck. On deck Ms. Grandis who slept sun bathing in a two piece swimsuit. Steven says to Ms. Grandis: "Hello Ms. Grandis." She removes her sunglasses, and notice two members of Nemo group missing. So she asks: "Ho hello. Pardon me, but where's San and Mowgli?" They were confused by what the former jewelry thief said. Ashitaka replies with a question of his own: "We thought they headed back to the ship. Didn't they return?" He said with concern in his voice.
Marie says with worry in her voice: "Where ever they are we must find them." Nemo says sure of their friends and how late it is: "No, it's too dark to find them. Besides, they're not helpless. They can take care of themselves since we fought villains, demons, monsters and cursed beings. They can survive the night." They nod in understanding, even after everything they've been through. But still they're worried.
So the M8, the Nautilus crew, misfit pirates, at their dinner all except Ashitaka, Steven, and Jean who are still worried for their friends. But they ate to gain strength needed to search for their friends in the morning.
The next day in the building where Riswan and his men have San and Mowgli in a cage, they wake up, feeling the hangover from the sleeping powder. Mowgli says in main: "Oh, my head." San also in pain: "Ah, make the room stop spinning." They notice they're in a cage
They struggle to free themselves but even their super human strength they can't bend iron bars. Man 1: "Well well. Look who's awake." San says angry mostly do hangover: "What is the meaning of this?! I demand you release us!" Mowgli also angry: "She's right we demand you release us!" Man 2 acting frighten but not really: "Oh, no I'm so scared."
Riswan standing in the front of the building where Mowgli and San are being held against their will. Outside Riswan is waiting for the man he's selling Mowgli and San to, coming up is Hardgrives riding a wagon being pulled by a horse.
Riswan says being a suck up: "Hello mr. Hardgrives." He said trying to win the approval, but the circus leader is in angry mood. Mr. Hardgrives says still upset: "What is it Riswan? Why bring me here at 6 in the morning?" Riswan says while still being a suck up replies leading Hardgrives to the room where the two ferals are being held: "I have something for your circus. You're going to love them."
When they enter the room Hardgrives gets a close enough look to see the feral boy and woman, and he's unimpressed. He says to the hunter: "So this is your wolf woman and jungle boy? I've seen British school boys who look wilder. You're trying to swindle me!" He said to the hunter, who quickly replies: "No honest. If you see the abilities they can do. The people will pay got to see them." Hardgrives says to Riswan: "Though I highly doubt that, but a deals a deal and I said I buy them." Then Riswan's men lift up the cage and carries it to Hardgrives wagon.
After loading the cage, Hardgrives drives the wagon back to the circus. They still try to free themselves but no luck. So for 15 miles Hardgrives rode the wagon back to the circus.
Hardgrives dismounts from the wagon and looks in the cage of his new attraction. Hardgrives says: "Hmm...Riswan toiled a lot about you. He's said you were cunning. (Scoffs) He was clearly wrong. And all I have to show for my money is a boy who needs a good hair cut. And a woman who needs a good bath. If you think I'm gonna waste food on you, you're in for a shock." The two glared at the circus leader.
After reaching the circus, the circus work crew take San and Mowgli out the cage and drags them to a random tent where they're begin outfitted. For Mowgli his usual animal skin loincloth, and San she is wearing a two piece wolf skin loincloths. Then both were put in separate cages.
Meanwhile the M8, misfit pirates, crew of the Nautilus, the Crystal Gems, the Asian twins, and the Grandis gang were search for their friends. They searched high and low, asked people around but no one's seen them.
In a open street the last place where Jean and the two feral separated, Jean and Nadia overhear someone. The man was Riswan who says to his men: "Can you believe we caught the jungle boy and wolf woman and sold them to the circus?"
They turn to see Riswan and his thugs laughing at their accomplishment and counting their money which they split. Jean whispers to Nadia: "Those three sold San and Mowgli to the circus? Outrageous!" He said with anger at the end of his sentence. Nadia also in anger replies: "I can't believe this! They're people not property." She storms out of hiding and exclaims to gain their attention. "Hey you!" After gaining their attention they turn to Nadia. "You sold our friends to the circus!" Riswan replies acting innocent: "We have no idea what you're talking about." Nadia corrects him: "You sold San and Mowgli to the circus, and I demand you tell me where they are!" She said in an angry tone.
The three men laughed at her demanding tone. Riswan still amused says: "You demand? Oh I'm so scared." They still laugh, Jean walks up to them also in a demanding tone: "Yes. Now tell us where are friends are." Nadia adds: "Or else." Man 2 not feeling intimidated: "Or else what?" He grabs Nadia's right arm, Nadia yells: "Let me go!" Jean tries to help, but Man 1 pushes him aside, and falls to the ground.
Nadia tries to help Jean up, but she's still being held by the man who repeats: "I'll say again; 'or else what'?" Nemo standing behind Riswan and his thugs and he replies: "Or else you'll deal with me." They turn to see Nemo as well as the rest of the search party surrounding them. Nadia says in relief and joy: "Father." Man 2 questions: "Father?"
Man 2 turns back to Nadia and asks: "So we're suppose to be scared because your daddy's here?" Nemo corrects him Threateningly: "No. You're suppose to be scared, because if you put your hands on my daughter and future son-in-law again. You won't go to jail." He said as he and the search party pull out their weapons. "We'll go to jail." The three thugs now have concern on their faces seeing, swords, axes, a hammer, and other weapons. Bismuth holding her hammer and walks up to the three thugs and says acting intimidating: "You think we're playin'? When you get out of the baths, we're gonna be there."
In visualization of what they'll be experiencing of the threat. In a bath house Riswan and his men stepping out of their individual rooms with towels around their wastes, and when they turn to their right they see Bismuth, the Helmsman, Pirate-who-loves-kittens holding their weapons they exclaim in shock and fear. Bismuth says: "You think we're playin'?" She said threateningly
Back to the real life, Bismuth continues: "When you're watching a play. We're going to be there."
As the three men are eating popcorn while watch a play of Shakespeare, up to the scene where Cesar is being killed by his own staff of politics. And dressed as the politics are Bismuth, Ashitaka, Steven, Connie, Pirate Captain and Number 2. They turn from the stage to Riswan and his thugs as they pull their real weapons out. Bismuth says again: "You think we're playin'?" The three jumped from their seats in fear.
Back to real life again, Bismuth makes a final threat: "Even in your dreams we're gonna be there."
In their shared dream, Riswan and his thugs killed Bigfoot. Judge: "Riswan, you and your men killed Bigfoot, one man's legendary creature. Here's your reward one million rubies." The three men were excited till they turn around in fear seeing the whole search party now. Bismuth says again: "You think we're playin'?"
Back to reality Riswan explains who he sold San and Mowgli, to Mr. John J. Hardgrives, who owns the Bombay circus.
The search party reaches the circus and bought tickets individually, and took seats. Before they see their friends, they watch the usual circus acrobatics, animals preforming tricks, and the clowns. After two hours, the circus leader stands in the center and makes an announcement. Hardgrives: "Ladies and gentlemen, I like to percent our newest attraction. And these are your everyday attractions. No, you will see a boy and a woman (not related) who were raised by the beast of the wild. They possess the strength of ten men and have the killer instinct of every beast of the jungle. Behold, the wolf woman and Jungle boy!" The working crew pushes the cages to reveal San and Mowgli in their animal skin outfits.
Some of the crowed gasp, while others just laugh. Jean says in complete shock: "I can't believe this." Marco asks: "That our friends are being held against their will?" Jean replies: "Well that, and for only five cents you can get entertainment like this." The party sees their friends in cages's the some kid throws a tomato at the two ferals, the crows laughs even harder now. The very kid who tossed the tomato says: "Hey why don't you two go howl at the moon or something you freaks!" Mowgli says in an upset tone: "You boy, you stop, you're very rude." San adds also upset: "Yeah. Or this could get ugly." The kids were shocked, till a plus size kid says in a mocking tone: "Hey, did you hear that? The jungle boy and wolf woman spoke." The kids laugh continues.
The plus size kids says again: "Give it up jungle boy and wolf woman. We know you're not human so leave the talking to us." The crowd still laughs, Nadia looks at the whole crowd in disgust and says: "May God have mercy on you all."
After the show, which lasted two hours, Hardgrives sat in his room, drinking a bottle of whisky. He says out irritation as he hiccups: "If India were ci...(hiccup) civilized, a man could buy a (hiccup) a decent bottle of whisky at a fair price." He eats some jerky meat with the whisky.
San says speaking her thoughts of what has happened: "I can't believe this. First we were tricked, then sold the circus and still stuck in these cages, and worse yet. We got thrown fruit!" Mowgli says in agreement: "We should've seen this coming, when Riswan offered us food. I mean he was a stranger, we should've trusted our instincts." They hung their heads in shame knowing they got themselves into this mess by their own choices which backfired.
At night under the cover of darkness, the M8, misfit pirates, Nautilus crew and the rest of the crew who are painted their faces black and wearing black cloths, except the dark skinned members who painted themselves white. Soon they reach their friends. The two ferals were asleep, when they wake up to see their friends they were surprised and happy.
Pirate Captain says: "Alright everyone let's get the bars open. Everyone got their saws?" The misfit pirates have their saws, then they began to saw quickly and quietly as they could. They kept sawing, even though no one heard them, the circus hunting/guard dogs hear them. They get up and run to the scours of the sound and bark angrily. When the Rescues team, turn around to see the dogs, the team screams and run to the high ground by climbing onto boxes.
Hardgrives wakes up, and steps out his tent with a rifle and sees the rescue team. Hardgrives says in amusement: "Well, well looks like we got trespassers and thieves." After getting the dogs to calm down, and whole rescue team are being held till morning.
The next morning, the Magnificent 8, Nemo, and the Pirate Captain are brought to Hardgrives' tent. The circus leader tells one of his clowns to go the constable to press charges. He turns to the Magnificent 8, Nemo and Pirate Captain and says: "It Looks like you're going to jail. And the charges are breaking and entering and almost stealing my two latest attractions."
Marco protest: "San and Mowgli are our friends! You can't do this to them!" The circus leader replies: "Sure I can. It's a free country and I bought them." Ashitaka tries to hold in his anger, for he couldn't let his wife nor a friend like Mowgli, being held like an animal in the zoo. But he judges the man to be a greedy man, and possible a gambler. So learning a thing from Dipper and Mabel's Grunckel Stanly he says: "How about a wager? We'll gamble for our friend's freedom. If we win, you'll release them." Hardgrives is interested and asks taking the wager: "If I win?" Ashitaka replies: "Then we'll work for you till we die." Hardgrives thought about it, and he could use the extra hands and agrees: "Alright. But I choose the gamble." They nodded in agreement. "Wrestling."
So the circus set up fliers so people can see the fight. After a while the crowd of people came in a straight line but pushing to get a ticket, and inside Hardgrives announces to the the audience: "Ladies and gentlemen, here's the fight of a life-time! In the right corner is the Strongman!" He points to the right corner, and the circus strongman was a 6.5 ft tall man wearing a sleeveless black shirt and short-shorts and has a beard, rat tail and tattoos of rhinos all over his body. The Strongman yells with pride as he flex his arms in a Russian accent: "I am the Rhino!" Hardgrives continues: "And in the left corner is the three eyed future teller, Garnet." She stands up removing her robs and gives it to Pearl. The crowd laughs seeing shes the same hight as the Rhino but believe in a woman vs a man fight they think he's going to win.
In the moment, Sanson, Grandis, and Mabel thought of a way to make some money. Mable says to the crowd: "Wait! Before we do this, this is a pay-to-view-it fight!" Grandis says in agreement: "She's right this is a pay-to-view-it fight." The audiences mutters in annoyance since they paid to get in, and now they have to pay to watch a fight. So Sanson, Grandis, and Mabel began to collect the money from the audience.
A man yells: "Are you ready?!" The whole crowd cheers in excitement. Another man says: "Let's get ready to scuffle...!" The whole crowd was now in a frenzy, in the center of the wrestling ring, is a woman wearing a one piece carrying a round 1 sign. The fighters walk to center and were eye-to-eye, the Rhino says: "I'm going to destroy you." Garnet replies in a stoke tone: "Bring it."
The two fighter return to their corners getting into fighting distance. The Rhino was in boxing stance, Garnet just standing still, and using her future vision she can see multiple outcome, and she's pulling back her punches so she doesn't kill him. The Russian Strongman starts with a right hook, only for Garner to quickly dodges and slaps him the left ear.
He feels the pain of the smack, rubs his ear, and swings his left arm, but Garnet dodges again getting on his right side and pokes his right eye, then she punches him in the gut. As he clenches his stomach, Garnet grabs his beard, pulls him down flipping him over, to the wrestling floor. The crowd was shocked to see this, while the crew cheers for Garnet. The Russian strongman and Hardgrives were shocked to see this. The Strongman brought to his knees so easily.
Ashitaka turns to Hardgrives and says to him: "We won fair and square. Now release my wife, and our friend." The circus leader replies quickly but stuttering: "Well... ye, ye, yes, you see we have to file release forms and contracts. It could take me days, weeks, or even months. I got a lot of paper work. Practically a mount high..." The Cheyenne raised Japanese man says getting to the point: "Release my wife and friend." Hardgrives says also to the point: "Ok, no beating around the bush. I'm not gonna give you, your feral woman and brat. They're mine I bought them." Ashitaka replies in a stoke tone but with a small smile: "I figure you wouldn't honor your word. And this wrestling was really a distraction." Hardgrives was confused till he turns around seeing the cages where the two ferals were being held. The bars were bend and the two were gone.
20 minutes earlier: Ashitaka toiled Steven he and Lion were going to break their, friends out while the rest of the rescue team posses to as a distraction. As they enter the circus, the very same boys from yesterday sees Steven and Lion, the skinny boy is named Gangen who mockingly says about Lion: "Haha! That's gotta be the most girly thing I ever seen." The large body boy adds: "Yeah, but not ask girly as wearing silk robs that's pink with yellow stars." Steven's confidence was shot, he hung his head in embarrassment, Lion glares at the two boys. Connie and the Crystal Gems over heard them, and all walk to them, who's laughter begins to slowly dies down when they're in the shadows of the CGs. Connie stands in front of Gengan says in a demanding tone: "You better apologize to my friend."
The boy replies not feeling intimated: "Or what? You gonna make us?" She and the other Crystal Gems smirk, then they pull out their weapons. Connie her double edge sword, Lapis her water/ice spears, Amethyst her whip, Peridot her machine-gun-pistoles, Pearl her spear, and Bismuth her hammer.
The boys were now more afraid than before, Connie repeats what she said: "Now, apologize to Steven." Gangin complies: "Yes ma'am." Bismuth turns to the large body boy and says: "You got that, Tiny?" The boy replies in fear: "Yes!" After apologizing to Steven he forgives them, but Lion on the other hand, roars in their faces, and both ran screaming in high pitch tone. As they ran Amethyst yells: "Now who's girly?!" They all laugh really hard even Steven laughed.
In the circus tent, Ashitaka explains the plan to Steven: "Alright Steven here's the plan; While Garnet wrestles the strong man, you go and free San and Mowgli. Because I feeling Hardgrives isn't going to honor his word." Steven nods in understand and replies: "Ok. Just don't make it too short, you may have to improvise." Ashitaka asks: "What do you mean?" Steven responds: "I don't know, make something up. Tell him to keep his word he might come up with an excuse not to set them free." So Steven hops onto Lion and they begin the plan, and tells everyone else the plan, so they give him more time, including the pay-to-view fight idea, and bonus they got more money.
As the crowd cheers, while Steven and Lion make their way to the circus background where they keep their tents and animal cages. The same hunting dogs from last night hear Lion and began to run to them, but Lion roars really loud scaring them away. As the Gypsy boy and pink lion continue to aid, Mowgli says in joy: "Steven! Oh, thank goodness!" Steven just remains quit as he uses a steel saw, and starts to saw the bars, then uses a crowbar to bend the bars. Steven says quietly: "Alright you two, let's move." So the four ran heading back to the ship. End flashback.
The crew ran out of the circus tent, and back to the ship, Hardgrives is give his rifle and chases them. At the docks some of the gets on the ship, Pearl turns around and sees the circus leader coming, Pearl sighs heavily and says out of annoyance: "Everyone, I'll deal with this." She walks to Hardgrives who stops, aims his gun and yells in anger to the crew of Nautilus: "I bought those two, and I demand them..." Pearl pulls the gun out his hands, and aims it at the circus leader. At first he's not scared thinking she can't do it, till she shoots near his foot. "Leave now." Hardgrives with hands up replies: "Alright, you win. No need for this." As he runs, Pearl looks at the gun and speaks her mind about the gun: "So uncivilized." She tosses the gun into ocean.
Aboard the steam Nemo says to the officers including San, Ashitaka, The Pirate Captain, and Number 2. They were discussing about the texts they uncovered, and it would appear their next travel is Egypt. While Mowgli gets his uniform, Mabel, Connie and Steven questioned, is San going to wear that two piece forever? San might wear it, every now and again on special occasions, mostly with Ashitaka.
