Chapter 2: The Dutchman Makes the Scene

As the out of the ordinary storm slowly approaches the cruise liner, Ted turns to Ben.

"Look youngster" said Ted, "there isn't much time before Davy Jones and his crew land on this here cruise liner and take everybody in as members as their new crew."

"So what do you want me to do about it?" asked Ben to Ted.

"Talk to your cousin Gwen and your grandfather about this" replied Ted, "I know that they will be able to get everyone to safety."

"You got it" said Ben as he hurried away from the scene.

As Ben was running away from the scene to head toward Gwen and Grandpa Max, Ted looked at the strange watch Ben was wearing around his wrist. Something told Ted that the watch was the key of driving Davy Jones away from this cruise liner. As Ben quickly ran toward Gwen and Grandpa Max who were heading out of the cafeteria, Grandpa Max could tell there was something quite wrong.

"Ben, you just seem like you saw a ghost or something like that" said Grandpa Max.

"It's the Flying Dutchman" said Ben as he was trying to catch his breath.

"Whoa" said Grandpa Max, "slow down here. You don't tell me that those fairy tales about Davy Jones are true?"

"Look" replied Ben as he was setting his Omnitrix to Ripjaws, "I think I can do some recon on this Dutchman ship and its captain."

"So you're serious that this ship exists?" asked Grandpa Max.

"Do you have any proof?" added Gwen.

"Follow me" replied Ben.

As Grandpa Max and Gwen followed Ben to the railings of the cruise liner, Grandpa Max saw some unusual clouds in the distance.

"There doesn't seem to be any forecast for those types of clouds" said Grandpa Max as he could barely see what was going on.

"I think you should get that Lucky Girl charm" said Ben to Gwen, "I could use some backup against Davy Jones and his crew."

"I don't know if that charm still works" said Gwen, "but I'll give it a try."

"I'll come with her" said Grandpa Max then he turns to Ben, "just be careful out there. I don't trust those clouds."

"Will do" said Ben as he changed himself into Ripjaws and leaped into the ocean.

As Ben as Ripjaws swam toward the usual looking clouds, the Flying Dutchman was heading right toward the cruise liner with its ruthless captain, Davy Jones looking through the telescope.

"This be a fine ship" said Davy Jones as he put the telescope down, "the members of that ship would make fine additions to my crew, full speed ahead!"

As Jones' crew began stirring the Flying Dutchman toward the cruise liner, Ben as Ripjaws was swimming slower and slower toward the Flying Dutchman. Ben then saw an anchor and then slowly began to climb aboard it. As Ben was doing that, Jones was standing next to his first mate whom was at the wheel of the Dutchman.

"Be prepared to board the ship" said Jones, "I want every passenger on board to be new additions to my crew."

As Jones' crew were sharpening their knives and other assorted weapons, Ben while still as Ripjaws was closely closing in on the deck of the ship. He of course overheard Jones' comments and knew he had to make a pre-emptive strike against him. Suddenly one of Jones' crew members began to look suspiciously in the area where Ben was climbing and began to walk toward that area of the ship.

"It's now or never" said Ben to himself.

Ben then leaps out from his hiding place and kicks the crew member down to the ground. As Ben observed the unconscious crew member, he noticed it was some sort of lobster-like creature. This then signaled Jones to order some of his crew members to see what was going on.

"If there be an intruder" said Jones to his crew members, "tear him apart."

As his crew members head toward the area of disturbance, the Flying Dutchman finally met face to face with the cruise liner. Jones' remaining crew members then launched aboard the cruise liner. As they were heading toward the cafeteria to apprehend the passengers of the cruise liner, Gwen was in her Lucky Girl costume along with Grandpa Max who were trying to get the passengers to safety.

"Looks like we got ourselves some old fashion pirates here" said Grandpa Max who was hiding with Gwen and observing Davy Jones' crew scattering around the cruise liner.

"Time to give these pirates some tough luck" said Gwen.

As Gwen went into action, she knocked down one of Jones' crew members whom was walking down the hallway of the cruise liner.

"What kind of creatures are they?" asked Gwen as she observed the unconscious pirate.

"Looks like some sort of strange alien-like creature" replied Grandpa Max.

"Not aliens" said Ted as he came into the scene, "these are Davy Jones' crew members. Many of the crew members take the forms of various creatures of the sea."

"You know a lot about Davy Jones do you?" asked Grandpa Max.

"Well, another one of my relatives-Bootstrap Bill Turner was a member of his crew before Will freed him from the curse" replied Ted.

"We have to stop Jones from forcing everybody on this cruise liner to be his new addition to his crew" said Grandpa Max.

While Gwen, Grandpa Max and Ted headed toward the cafeteria to prevent the other passengers from becoming part of Jones' crew, Ben was having the time of his life knocking each of Jones' crew members unconscious while as Ripjaws.

"This is more fun than a barrel of monkeys" said Ben as he knocked down another crew member.

"What's all the racket?" asked Davy Jones as the captain himself came into the scene.

Ben then stared straight at Davy Jones and he could have swear it was Vilgax in a pirate costume.

"You remind me of an old foe-Vilgax but in a pirate costume" said Ben to Davy Jones.

"I do not know who the heck you are" said Jones, "but if it is a fight you want, it's a fight you'll get."

"Bring it on, I'm game" said Ben.

Davy Jones then takes out his sword and charges at Ben. Ben quickly dodges Jones and leaps right over him. Ben then kicks Jones and sends him flying toward the railing of his own ship.

"You're pretty weak for some undead captain" said Ben as he came toward Jones.

Before Ben could make another move on Davy Jones, there were the same old red flashes on the symbol of the Omnitrix and Ben turned back into his normal human self.

"No!" cried Ben, "Not right now!"

"A mere child!" cried Jones as he grabbed Ben's sleeve, "Has been making a mockery of me and my crew? And I thought Captain Jack Sparrow, Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann were bad."

"Just what are you going to do with me?" asked Ben.

"I'm going to make you a member of my crew along with the rest of everybody else on the ship which my crew are raiding" replied Jones, "and I doubt your fancy watch will have any special magical creatures that will stop me."

"Where should we put him?" asked Jones' first mate.

"Place him in the brig" replied Jones, "and keep an eye on him and his magical watch."
