Mutants of the Caribbean

Scene Twenty-three: The Really Really Long Climax

Kitty snuck into the depths of the cave, wielding armed with nothing, but an oar, until she reached the treasure chamber. The first thing she noticed was that Toad and Magneto were fighting. Then she saw Lance was tied up and being watched over by one of the pirates. Kitty charged the pirate girl swinging her oar madly over her head.

"I'm gonna teach you the meaning of pain!" Tabby shouted as she chucked one of here time bombs at Kitty.

Kitty phased just as the bomb would have hit her and instead it splashed into the water harmlessly. "Like, try wearing a corset." Kitty quipped as she smacked Tabby with her oar sending the pirate toppling down. Kitty bent over to untie Lance. "Whose side is Toad on?" She asked as she watched the two skeletal Captains clash swords.

"At the moment?" Lance asked as Kitty undid the last of his restraints.

Tabby had gotten back up and was now chucking as many of here tiny time bombs as she could. Lance and Kitty managed to dodge most of the and even the ones that hit really didn't do to much damage. Frustrated Tabby ran up one of the treasure mounds to get out of their reach while she made one relatively large bomb.

Lance realized what she was up to and ran up after her. The skeletal pirate just laughed at him as she handed the bomb to him just as it was about to go off, but Lance had been expecting this and already had a plan. He shoved the time bomb into her rib cage then pushed her out of the moonlight.

As her flesh returned she soon realized she couldn't get the time bomb out of her chest. "No fair." was all she got out before the bomb blew her to pieces.

The explosion drew Magneto and Toad's attention away from their sword fight for a moment. Toad saw that Lance was somehow free and standing right next to the treasure chest. Without hesitation Toad jumped out of the moonlight and cut through some of the webbing on his hand while holding the medallion he'd stolen and threw it to Lance.

In response Magneto drew his gun and pointed it at Kitty. The shot rang through the entire cave. Magneto turned angrily back toward Toad, who was holding his own still smoking pistol. "Ten years of carrying that pistol and now you waste your shot?" Magneto growled quite annoyed by the bullet hole and gun powder residue that now marred his coat.

"He didn't waste it." Lance declared as he cut his own hand and droped both his and Toad's medallions into the chest.

Magneto looked stricken he slowly parted his coat to reveal warm flowing blood pooring from the bullet wound in his chest. "I feel. . . cold." His tone was mute and his face was expressionless and then he fell back onto the mound of gold, dead.

Commodore Colossus had been fighting long and hard to keep his crew alive. In his armored form the pirates couldn't do much to hurt him, but then again he had not yet been able to hurt a pirate. So, he was just as surprised as the pirates when he hit Mastermind and he stayed down a small puddle of blood began to form around him.

For a moment everyone just starred, then both sides seemed to realize that the tides had turned. Except for Pyro who chose this point in time to spring up from where he'd been crawling along the deck. He wore a wide grin on his face having finally found his Zippo. His grin faded though as he realized no one was fighting anymore and that was usually a bad sign.

"Parley?" Remy asked pathetically as he put his hands up in a sign of surrender, the other pirates soon followed suite.

"The ship is ours, comrades." Colossus announced proudly.

Xavier and the rest of the X-Men started cheering "Woot! Woot!" as they led the pirates down to the brig.

Lance and Kitty stood looking deeply into each other's eyes for a second they moved closer together, but then a loud crash behind them caused them to pull a part and see what could be making all the racket. Perhaps the other pirates were returning, but no it was just Toad picking up random pieces of treasure examining them and then tossing them aside.

"We should, like, return to the Dauntless." Kitty sighed.

"Piotr will be worried about you." Lance whispered sadly.

Kitty seemed to be on the verge of tears, she ran off to wait in the rowboat.

Toad, now sporting large golden crown, plodded up to Lance. "That was the right moment." He pointed out before leaping after Kitty. "Now, back to the Pearl!" He shouted happily.

But the Pearl was long gone and the only ship within miles was Commodore Colossus's Dauntless.

"I'm, like, sorry, Toad." Kitty said trying to be as comforting as possible.

"Pirates code." Toad mumbled more to himself than to Kitty as Lance continued to row him closer and closer to the gallows.

Next Chapter: And Really Bad Ends

We spilt blood this chapter, so I'm uping the rating to PG and then the next chapter is Captain Toad's hanging. Maybe I should just up it to PG 13.

And as far as which X-Men were killed on the Dauntless, I left them nameless so you can just insert your least favorite. I don't think there are any real Mastermind fans out there, but I'm sorry if your now depressed because we killed him, but he's Koehler and Koehler dies. Same goes for Tabby fans, I like Tabby alright, but we needed someone who had bombs and well 'Bomb Flinging Maniac' kinda fits her bill. I'm not all that sorry about killing Magneto, he kinda had to die, yup.

And on a side note I do intend to continue on with Second Time Round, I'm just swamped with junk right now. The only reason I can keep up with these chapters is cause there's two people working on them and I already have it written up in script format, we just adjust it into story format so you don't have to sit there and watch the movie while reading our script.

Last but not least, "I will bring you hope." This story has two more chapters, shh you're not really supposed to know about the last one. coughafter the creditscoughPietrocoughcough And even then there's a good chance that in time there will be a sequel to Pirates of the Caribbean and with it a sequel to this story!
