At the helm, Jim sailed the ship down to the planet and disconnected a wire so it couldn't be stolen. "Captain," Jim called to Amelia.

"Yes, Mr. Hawkins?" said Amelia as she walked over to him.

"I've disconnected this wire so that no one will be able to steal our ship. If the time comes that I don't come back and you do, I want you to connect the wires back together and get out of here. That is an order," said Jim.

Amelia nodded, "Yes, Mr. Hawkins. I shall do that and get the crew out of here."

Jim nodded, "Let's go. We have to save Jen."

"Mr. Hawkins, two more things before we go," said Amelia, and Jim turned around to face her.

"Yes, Captain?" he responded.

"One, excellent job on running this ship. You are a fine Captain," said Amelia.

"Thank you, ma'am," said Jim with a slight bow.

"Two, I find it very romantic about how much you care about this girl, and how you are willing to go the distance for her," said Amelia. "Very few good men would do that for someone they barely knew, but felt they loved them."

Jim looked down. "Ever since I saw her those few months ago by the cliffs, I felt I had met my one true love. I couldn't take my eyes off of her or let any harm come to her. I didn't even know her name, but I felt I was in love with her, and she was the only one I could love. Then this voyage came along, and she joined the crew. Everyday that went by I felt it harder and harder to not think about her, let alone take my eyes off of her. Her hair, her eyes, her lips, her voice and how she danced. Just everything about her made me feel like I had never felt before," explained Jim with a dreamy look spreading across his face.

"Mr. Hawkins, I know we had this talk earlier today, so I won't go into anymore details, but if you love this girl might I suggest saving her," said Amelia with a smile.

Jim smiled and nodded, "Let's go save her," and he headed off the ship with everyone behind him.

"So, where are we going?" asked B.E.N. tired of standing around.

"We'll go as soon as we find out where they went," said Jim looking around for any kind of clue.

"Oh, is that all. Then somebody find SOMETHING so we can GO," said B.E.N., and Jim glared at him, and he became quiet and looked around as well.

"Hey, Jimbo," said Silver looking around with his cyber eye.

Jim went over to him and said, "What is it, Silver?"

"I think I found their trail," said Silver, and he pointed in the direction of where the clues led him.

"Come on, let's go!" screamed Jim, and he raced down the trail, slowly loosing everyone when all of a sudden Morph flew up to him and tried to get his attention. "What is it, Morph?"

Morph turned into the crew and wound rope about them. "The crew? They're in trouble?" said Jim trying to understand.

"Trouble! Trouble!" mimicked Morph worriedly.

Jim raced back to see his crew tied up and tried to untie them. "Jim, they've got Jen over there in the bushes!" said Amelia, and Silver got free and freed everyone else.

After hearing that, Jim jumped into the bushes and was instantly thrown right back out to them. Doppler then raced over to Jim and tried to help him up as he said, "Jim! You're mother would never forgive me if I let something happen to you," and Jim slowly got up on his feet.

"Cabin boys should learn to not pick the wrong fights," said Porcos, as he emerged, holding onto Jen very closely, with the rest of the pirates.

"Jim!" screamed Jen as she tried to get free, but was pulled closer to Pocos, and she looked up to him. "Stop it! You're hurting me!"

"Let her go, Porcos… and… I'll do anything you want," said Jim finally giving in to them.

"Jim, you can't," said Doppler.

"I can, and I must," said Jim to Doppler. "What do you say Porcos, do we have a deal?"

"Alright, you lead us to the treasure, and I won't harm your girlfriend," said Porcos with a grin across his face.

Jim glared at him and nodded. He then took out the map and opened it up. "That is where we have to go," he said.

"Then take us there, cabin boy," said Porcos, and Jim nodded.

Jim then led the way with Porcos right behind him holding a gun to Jen's head as she walked barely in front of him. "This has to be the hardest thing the lad has ever done," whispered Silver to Amelia.

Amelia nodded, "There are few good captains in this galaxy, and none of which have ever gone through what Mr. Hawkins is going through."

They kept walking until they reached a small entrance to a cave, and Jim stopped right in front of it. "Go on, cabin boy," said Porcos getting ready to pull the trigger.

"Umm… excuse me," started B.E.N. walking up to Porcos who was rolling his eyes. "If Jim steps thru that opening, he'll be obliterated into space dust."

"Will this happen to everyone?" asked Eyeler with a little fear in his voice.

"No, just the first thing to touch the entrance," explained B.E.N.

"BEN!" screamed Jim, mad at the robot for telling them everything.

"Oops…" said B.E.N., shrinking back towards Amelia, who was glaring at him.

Jim sighed and shook his head then stood up straight, almost glaring at Porcos. He was looking as brave as he could, but fear grew in him knowing Porcos would send him thru the entrance first.

Porcos looked at Jim and grinned, sensing Jim's fear under his courageous appearance. And then his eyes pierced Jim's soul as he said; "We'll send Jen thru there first."

"No!" screamed Jim as two pirates grabbed him pulling his struggling body back. "Porcos, you said you wouldn't harm her!"

"And I won't. I guess you could say that Captain Flynt will be the one harming her," said Porcos with the biggest grin spreading across his face.

Seeing Porcos' face, Jim grew madder with hate, and struggled as much as he could to get free. Porcos then let Jen go right in front of Jim and had his gun set on her incase she decided to run away.

Jen then slowly walked up to Jim and laid her hand on top of his cheek, calming him a little. "Jim, I'm sorry for all of the trouble I caused you. I should have let them kill me earlier then you wouldn't have had to have shown them the way," Jen whispered to him.

"No, Jen, don't say that. I'm sorry that I fell in love with you. Maybe if I hadn't, you wouldn't be in this situation right now," said Jim trying to hold back tears.

"Please, don't be sorry for that," said Jen, and she paused for a moment. "There is something I must tell you though, that I didn't think was true, but now I know it is." Jen then leaned forward and gently kissed Jim. "I love you, Jim Hawkins."

Jim could feel the tears welling up in his eyes as he looked into her eyes for a brief moment and saw some comfort in them. "How touching," said Porcos as he grabbed Jen's shoulder and pushed her towards the entrance. "Now, get going, before I put a bullet through you and send you thru there myself."

"Leave her alone, Porcos! It's me you want," screamed Jim.

Porcos glared at Jim, knowing he was right, then looked back at Jen trying to ignore him.

"Just… please, don't do this," begged Jim, now trying harder than ever not to cry, but Porcos could sense in his voice that he was torturing him, and that Jim was on the verge of tears.

"You would love to see that, wouldn't you, cabin boy," started Porcos, and he turned to face Jim. "Well, today is just not your lucky day, is it?" he continued with a laugh as Jim struggled to get free. He then turned to Jen and said, "Go on, we haven't got all day!"

Jen turned around and looked at Jim as if to say "good bye" then walked up to the entrance, and a blinding light pierced everyone's eyes. Then when they all looked towards the entrance again, they saw a pile of ash in the doorway. "No… Jen…" uttered Jim as he fell to his knees in tears.

And there you have the not so happy ending of "The Journey to Golden Sun".

Just kidding!

Guess we just have to wait to see how Jim will cope with his loss in the next chapter.

Rememeber to review!
