Hey all,
yes.. CHAPTER 20!
Ideas? None? I would love ideas..
So on to this annoying but necassary thingy... I do not own Captain Amelia or Jim or any other Treasure Planet character I may refer to. They are Disney's and I respect that.
I do own.... Andrea, David, Mandy, Kep, Terry, Cadet Hurlt, Cadet Katherine Starth, Colonel Fredrick, and the cadets. Also Heather, Mary, Admiral Cangot, Chad Chain, George and Chris. Lotsa fun. I also own the new character, Helen.
Yes.. It all true.
Continuing on..

Andrea ran to the ship. She felt bad about losing Chain and Kat but she hadn't wanted them following her to the cemetery. Though that Commmander Trian seemed nice, but something about him told her to stay away.
Andrea reached the docks and slowed down. She brought out the dagger and inspected it. It was old, made of silver which made it rare. He had given it to her for a reason and she wanted to know it.
Andrea tucked the dagger away and made her way up the ship's ramp. She looked aournd for anybody. A dagger came flying at her. She ducked and it flew into the deck of the ship and then transformed into Morph who was now stuck on the deck.
"Morph!"
Andrea yelled. She brought out her own dagger and began to chip furiously at the deck around Morph.
Morph made unhappy noises.
"Well it's your fault you deciding to come flying at me as a dagger. Where did you go anyways?"
Morph half transformed into a pond and then back to himself.
"A pond? Odd, I don't remember seeing one."
Andrea went silent as she worked to free Morph.
She didn't notice the group coming onto the deck.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Amelia had finished her work and was on to wondering where her children had gone off to. Her ears came up as she heard a repeated thud of wood. What was going on? She got up leaving the stateroom to see Andrea fighting the one and only Commander Werek.
"Commander?! Andrea!?" Amelia yelled.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Amanda walked back to the ship, sulkily. She hadn't gotten along with the cadets very well. She didn't blame them. She knew she had been pretty mean to everyone but why did Mom make her come on this stupid trip? She had told her about the surfing competition on Hunjin. Dad had even opted to take her. Amanda could surf pretty well, it was the only thing she had in common with Andrea. They had gone surfing a couple times. Amanda knew she had been pretty bad and hardly could believe she had taken David's side. Then again Andrea wasn't the most pleasant perosn to be around. Terry had all the optimism.
Amanda was at the docks now. She gazed around and stood there. Cressian's docks were exceptionally good. Even she could tell. She didn't bother learning such things but with space parents you couldn't help but pick up a few things.
Amanda gazed out for awhile until she was rudely pushed to the side resulting in her falling down. Amanda wasn't that stuck on rules but she did like proper behavior rather than the weird pushing and joking crowds, Andrea hung out with.
"Hey!
"Missy, you're in the way!"
Amanda knew better than to talk back. She didn't feel like earning a few bruises. Amanda glared at their backs then got up.
Amanda made her way to the ship. As she came up the gangplank, she stared. Andrea was fighting with someone and a group was beside them. Her mother was yelling from the brig. One of them stepped forward to interfere and kicked Andrea.
Amanda yowled loudly and ran at the one who kicked at Andrea. She punched him in the face and danced back. She grinned as he clutched at his face.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Andrea grinned as she fought the alien. She had only seen Amanda yowl and punch the guy. Andrea tried to press the dagger against her attacker's throat. He forced it away. She was losing and Morph was still stuck. Then she grinned.
"Morph, dagger!"
Morph understood and morphed into a dagger. Andrea ran over and grabbed him out and threw him in the air where he transformed back to himself.
That had left Andrea with the advantage of surprise. Mandy was kicking someone now.
Andrea jumped at the alien and pressed her dagger agsainst his throat.
"Move and you'll be dead in a second."
He struggled but Andrea pinned him down with her knee and pressed the dagger harder.
"Don't struggle or else it will be all over!"


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


David sighed. As entertaining as these conventions were he only had gone to this one because Dad had asked him to. This one was absolutely pointless. He would die of boredom soon.
"Say who are you?"
A big human came lumbering over to him.
"Do I know you from somewhere?"
David grimaced. Everyone had asked him this.
"I am David Doppler." He offered his hand to the man who shook it firmly.
"Yes! Dr. Doppler's boy are you? Never knew he got married."
"Well, he did." David avoiding telling the man who. David was a halfbreed and knew how badly society could put him down. Luckily he looked like all Daino while his sisters looked like all Cascona.
"Is he here?"
"No."
The man's eyebrow's furrowed. He was thinking of nosy questions, David could tell. David knew it was best to answer truthfully.
"Then why are you here boy?"
"I came on a ship."
"Just to come here."
David felt his hands twitch and fidgeted.
"Stop fidgeting, I'm not that scary."
David stood as straight as the cadets had with his hands at his sides.
"So why would you come to as a convention as small as this? Is your mother around?"
"She is on this planet but she isn't here."
"Who is she? Some seamstress no doubt."
David chuckled. He couldn't imagine his mother being a seamstress. She would get fed up with a sewing machine and it would end up being thrown out the window.
The man heard him. "She could never be a seamstress? Well who is she then?"
David swallowed. "Captain Amelia." He muttered. David wasn't ashamed just did not feel like telling this man and felt he had no choice.
"You mean that Cascona captain? Pretty as wildflowers and as cruel as a whip?"
"She is not cruel." David mutter feeling his face grow hot.
"Maybe to you, bucko. Wait you telling me that Doppler married her? Her?"
David nodded, unhappy at being called "bucko".
"He married her? She must have gone soft! And you're her son?"
David did nothing. The man was stating the obvious.
The man chuckled and yelled.
"Look here lads. This is the son of Dr. Doppler and Captain Amelia!"
David felt anger grow. He had not gotten his mother's quick temper but his father's temper and that could be angered easily by the right choice of words.
"You will not yell to the world who I am. You have no right to do such a thing." David kept his voice calm, though his face showed how angry he really was.
A crowd was beginning to gather.
David had enough. He wasn't to be looked at like some zoo animal. David turned and pushed his way through the crowd. No one stopped him but their eyes followed him.
David came to the outside. He leaned against the wall. He didn't like attention like that. David began to walk back to the ship. He had enough of this planet. Maybe he could convince Mom to leave a day early. It wouldn't work. Oh well, maybe Terry and him could find a library.
David reached the docks. He kept moving knowing how rushed this place was and they would push him out of the way. As he climbeds up the Legacy's gangplank, he stopped, staring. Mom was yelling at a group. Andrea had a dagger pressed to someone's throat and Mandy was fighting four aliens and had a few bruises. Mandy got pushed to the ground, David ran at the one who pushed her down. He could fight though not very well. David drew back his fist and as he threw it, it connected with the alien's face.
David for once felt his fighting skills were half decent against these guys. He kicked at one and he and Mandy fought side by side.



---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Andrea smiled at David. She now owed him an apology, but at least he was helping. He wasn't bad at fighting, she thought.
Andrea's watching David had been a bad move. The alien moved up suddenly and pushed her off. Andrea felt herself land heavily on her bad side. In a second she was up again.
But this time the alien was ready. He brought out the sword hanging from his side and blocked her.
Andrea jumped back. They were equal now. She needed something better. She stuffed her dagger into the sheaf and and ran and climbed the rigging.
The alien followed but he had put his sword away to follow her, which Andrea had hoped he would. Andrea climbed higher. She could hear the Captain's shout but could not make them out.
Andrea brought out her dagger and stuck it between her teeth. She grinned. She had the advantage.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Terry smiled as she walked back from town. She had made a few friends with the cadets. She found making friends very difficult but they had been great.
Terry cradled the books she had bought in her arms. Mom would be a little displeased. She encouraged reading but she thought that was all Terry did.
Terry ran through the docks weaving around people and straight up the Legacy's gangplank. Terry dropped her books.
David was fighting side by side with Mandy. Andrea was high up in the rigigng with someone in pursuit. Mom was yelling at them all. No one was listening.
One of the four David and Mandy were fighting broke away and started to climb after Andrea.
Terry realized they were going to trap Andrea.
"Oh no you don't!" She yelled and ran at the alien.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Amelia had first been amazed at david, then Amanda and now even Terry fighting. her yelling had done nothing. She had watched Terry tackle one to the deck. Where had she learned to tackle?
Amelia didn't bother pondering the question though it was on her mind. She really wanted Mr. Arrow here. He would yell loud enough to get their attention. She had been yelling constantly. No one seemd to think she was doing anything.
Amelia sighed. Surprisingly she didn't know how she could do this. Doppler had taught her said it was a useful skill if she got lost in the woods. Amelia had snorted. Her? Get lost? But it would have its uses.
Amelia howled a loud, short howl.
Terry, David and Amanada stopped fighting instantly as did the four fighting them.
Andrea swung down from the rigging and landed in a heap beside Amelia. Commander Werek climbed down slowly and went beside his friends.
"Now that we've all stopped this horrible nonsense."
Andrea snickered beside her.
"Nonsense? This wasn't nonsense. I was trying to free Morph from the deck." As if on cue, Morph floated down and sat on her shoulder. "And then that alien jumped me from behind, m'am."
"She was damaging your ship, captain!"
"I was trying to free Morph!" Andrea yelled at him.
"Calm down both of you. Commander Werek what are you doing on my ship?"
"I came to encourage both you and Captain Jurden to come on in my fleet."
"What makes you think Captain Jurden would be here?"
"I know of your past, Amelia."
Amelia let her name slde for once. He was right but she had never come on Cressian with Helen. Ships were so gossipy.
"Very well to do. But I happen to have a brand new Captain on my ship. Captain Hawkins. Take him in my place."
"Captain we have discussed this for months. They were going to send a delegation to Montreser to get you to go."
"I demand you get Hawkins. Then I will go along with Captain Jurden."
"Does Hawkins have a ship?"
"He will be getting one after this mission."
"Fine. All three of you will come with your ships."
"Send the information to the Montresser Navy. I shall see that Captain Hawkins and I recieve it."
"Very well then. But these four." he motioned to Andrea dn ehr siblings. "must be punished."
"I will not hear of it. They acted in self defense."
"The first one did. The others came and attcked at their own will."
"Defending her when she has a serious wound from a pirate battle which no doubt you have worsened, Commander."
"Very well then. i shan't press charges."
"Commander Werek speak another word as if they caused this and I shall be pressing charges."
"You would bother for such cadets?" Commander Werek was rather stunned.
"They are my children, commander. Now escort myself from my ship with your men speaking nothing or those three would be happy to assist you."
All five of the men left in silence.
