Got the keys and now it's time to free Milo, Tara was super happy. Once again we were lucky to see no one but Milo in this empty place.

"Free at last!", he said hugging and spinning Tara with absolute joy, "I thank you little one, although you're not so little anymore", he giggled.

Tara didn't say anything, she just hugged him like she actually found her parents. The moment was just wow, more touching than seeing a baby seagull fly for the first time. It only made us feel sad when we had to stop the reunion and find a way out of here.

"Oh right, getting out of here", Milo realized, "Don't worry guys, I happen to know of a secret escape tunnel out of this dismal place", he said putting Tara down.

Perfect! Now we just need to hope that the ghost outside is still keeping the banana brains occupied. Oh what do you know, it is! Tara warned us that it won't last long thanks to her using too much power fighting the monkey Commander. Just like how I drive, we all bolted to the storage room and got as much spice as we could carry.

"STOP! You pirate scum!", shouted an angry monkey from behind, "You will pay for this, TAKE THEM!"

AAWWWW SSSSSSHOOT, WE ARE DOOMED! THERE'S TOO MANY FOR US TO HANDLE AND THEY'RE BLOCKING THE DOOR! WHAT DO WE DO NOW?! I looked to see if Tara had a plan and I saw her digging in her bag for something fast. Whatever it is, she better move faster 'cause these monkeys are closing in! Not a moment too late, she stepped in front of everyone, took a deep breath, and blew some powder out of her causing a huge cloud around the monkeys.

"We need to get out quickly before these clouds get closer!", Tara shouted looking at us.

"Alright, the Grate here covers a secret way out", Milo said opening the grate.

Down the hatch we went doing our best carrying these spices through this narrow tunnel. Man it was dark in here, thanks to Tara's staff it helped lit the way. About four or five minutes later, we saw little light from a distance making us think that was the way out. With Kobe's strength he managed to not only push open the lid, he lift us out the tunnels along with the spices. We had no time to take it easy 'cause those fortress alarms were going ape. Time to make like a banana and split.

"There you lot are", Rufus said from our ship, "What took you so long? HEY who is he?"

"NO TIME, WE HAVE TO GO NOW!"

AND NO TIME TO SAY MY LINE, WE'RE BLASTING OUT OF HERE! Hitting that speed to full max again, we blasted out of that presidio like a cannon ball. Dang, these monkeys caught up to us!

"CAPTAIN!", Gaspard shouted, "We got 5 ships tailing us!"

It's time to put these sails to good use," Everyone hold on to something, this is going to get bumpy!", I shouted holding on to a lever.

Each one of them held onto the mainmast for dear life, good and not a moment too late. TIME TO ACTIVATE THE INDOMITABLE! With the pull of the lever, magic formed around the ship and dodged some of the cannon balls hitting for us, plus the steering I was doing. Finally we manage to get far away from the presidio, onto the wind lanes we stopped and took a MUCH needed break. Even I needed a break, fell right on the floor in sweet relief and straightened up my hat as well.

"Mari!", Gaspard shouted running up the stair with Kobe," Are you alright?"

"Yea I'm fine, how's everyone so far?"

"Shaken, but fine"

Kobe helped me to my feet, "Thanks Kobe, whoa haha", I stumbled holding onto the wheel.

That's a first, getting exhausted from an adventure like that. Haha, this was a lot more fun than I thought it would be. I looked over and saw Milo and Tara chatting together on the floor while Bonnie was relaxing on the mainmast. Both of them were so happy, especially Tara, I couldn't help but smile too. I was going to join them in their friendly chat, buuut Rufus stopped me and pulled me over to the spices. Really frog?!
