The Pirates tied them both to the mast; When Hook wasn't looking Ariel whispered to Alex. "Alex, what now?" she asked. "I…I don't know…" Alex said as he sighed and looked down at his feet. They were trapped, Jack was nowhere in sight, and Alex was out of ideas. "So much for happy thoughts…" he muttered to himself.
Chapter 9: You can fly!
While Ariel and Alex were trapped, Jack had swum back to shore, where he saw Peter Pan. "Jack, where's Alex and Ariel?" Peter asked. Jack took a second to catch his breath. "That Bloody scoundrel Hook has them trapped on MY ship!" Jack responded. "What?" Peter cried. He whistled and in a second. Tinkerbell was by his side. "Let's fly, Tink!" Peter said as both of them took to the skies. Jack tried to fly after Peter, but he couldn't think of a happy thought, with a groan, Jack jumped back into the water and began to swim back to The Black Pearl.
Back aboard the ship Hook was busy taunting Alex. "So what now, Mr. High-and-mighty Disney-Warrior?" Hook taunted. "What are you and the "Syndicate" up to?" Alex demanded. "If you must know, we're planning to unleash a powerful demon called "Chernabog" whom is currently trapped inside a mountain thanks to a certain "King" Hook said. "That must be King Mickey…" Alex thought to himself. "But fortunately for us, you won't make it that far." Hook said. "Mr. Smee!" Hook called. A little man in a red hat ran up to him. "Yes sir?" He said. "Tell the men to prepare the Plank." Hook said. "Aye-aye sir, PREPARE THE PLANK!" Smee called. Hook slapped his hand on his face and grabbed Smee by the shirt collar. "I could've done that, Idiot!" Hook shouted. The Pirates pulled Alex from the mast. Alex reached for the Disney Blade, but it was gone. Hook held it proudly in his hand. "Looking for this?" Hook shouted. Suddenly the blade disappeared leaving only the handle of the sword. Hook just tossed the handle aside as the Pirates shoved Alex onto the plank.
Alex looked down and gulped as he saw hungry looking Crocodile circling the area where he would fall. Alex looked back at Ariel, who was still tied up; tears began to well up in her eyes. She slowly mouthed the words "I Love You" Alex blushed and suddenly realized that he had never been happier than this moment; Alex gave off a familiar grin which made Ariel smile. The Pirates pounded on the Plank causing Alex to lose his balance and fall. But to everyone's surprise, Alex flew right back up, He was flying! "Impossible…" Hook said with amazement. Alex flew forward in a burst of speed and stopped a few inches from hooks face. "No, but real close" Alex said as he Kicked Hook in his gut and grabbed the handle of his sword. The blade magically reappeared on the handle. Hook had recovered from Alex's attack on him and was about to charge at him when someone tapped him on the shoulder, he turned around and was shocked to see Jack Sparrow, dripping wet. 'YOU! You're the clown I threw to Davey Jones Locker!" Hook cried. "And when you did, you forgot one very important thing mate, I'm Captain Jack Sparrow." Jack said with confidence. "That's something I won't forget again." Hook said as he pulled out his sword. The two went at it while Alex saw the Pirates were coming for him.
Suddenly Peter Pan appeared in front of him standing between Alex, and the Pirates. "Alex, go save your friend, I'll take care of these jokers!" Peter said. Alex nodded and flew over them, and over to Ariel, cutting her loose. 'Thanks you Alex!" Ariel cried as she hugged him. Alex whispered in her ear. "I love you too." Ariel gasped and hugged him tighter as the two flew up high, until they reached the crows nest. "Wait here till the heat dies down." Alex said as Ariel stepped inside the crows nest. With another hug Alex swooped back down to help Peter. One by one, the two knocked the pirates down into the water. "That's the last one." Alex said as one more Pirate fell down into the murky depths. They turned around to see that Hook had forced Jack onto the Plank. "What a pity, you've come all this way to lose your ship to me, again" Hook taunted. "It truly is a pity" Jack said. "This ship brings back a lot of happy memories." Hook was about to slash him but to everyone's amazement Jack flew away and right behind Hook,
"Tick-tock mate." Jack said as he kicked Hook off the edge of the ship.
"CURSE YOU! Hook shouted. Suddenly he turned around to see the same Crocodile, staring at him. With a shout Hook swam as fast as he could with the Crocodile close behind. Jack and Alex laughed in triumph. Alex suddenly remembered Ariel. "I'd better get her down before the air pressure gets to her." Alex said as he flew up, picked Ariel up Bridal style and slowly lowered down to the deck. "Well then" Peter said. "I guess I'd better be going now, but before I go…" Peter whistled and Tinkerbell began flying all round the ship, spraying her Pixie dust everywhere, and with a shake, the ship began to fly in the air. "The Black Pearl is flying!" Jack shouted in astonishment. "It'll wear off in about a day, so don't go to high up." Peter said.
With that said, Peter and Tinkerbell flew off the ship and back to their island. Jack hugged the steering wheel as he guided it thru the sky. "Well Jack, you have The Black Pearl again, so me and Ariel will be going now…" Alex said as they headed for the lifeboat. "Hold on there" Jack said. "We Pirates are in everything for profit, so in exchange for helping you two, I want something." Ariel groaned. "I suppose you want me to kiss you…" Aril said rolling her eyes. "Nope" Jack said. "What I want, is for you two to stay here." Alex was surprised. "You really mean that?" Alex said. "You two are more loyal than any crew in the seven seas" Jack said. "Besides, from what I heard, this "Syndicate" is making us Pirates look like Bloody gents!"
Ariel and Alex laughed at his comment. "So "Captain" Where too?" Alex asked. "Wherever the wind takes us, mate" Jack said staring into the distance. "Now then" Jack said as he stepped down from the Ship wheel and onto the deck where Alex and Ariel where. "About that kiss: Jack said as he puckered up his lips. Ariel just slapped him across the face again. "I may have deserved that…" Jack said as Alex laughed. That Night Alex and Ariel where sitting on the railing watching the clouds. "Hey Ariel, how DID you turn into a human anyways?" Alex asked. "I guess, when I kissed you that first time, the Swords magic worked on me too, just as it affects you." Ariel said as she leaned on his shoulder. "Does that mean the sword affects anyone who has any intimate contact with me?" Alex asked, blushing a bit. "I guess so" Ariel said as she leaned up and kissed his cheek. "Well, either way, we gotta stop the Syndicate from unleashing this "Chernabog"" Alex said as he looked straight ahead into the distance.
But, far, far, away in a dark castle, an evil whitch anmed "Maleficent" approched the Syndicate leader. "Sir" Maleficent said. "I have bad news,the Disney Warrior has appeared, and him and his friends defeated Hook." The syndicate leader's figure was hidden in the shadows. "So what? Hook was bound to be defeated anyway!" The Leader yelled. "Yes sir, but he spilled the beans on our plan." Maleficent said backing up slightly. the Syndicate leader pounded a whole in the wall with his fist. "WHAT? That useless Imbecile! If he ever shows his sorry face here again I swear..." The leader growled. "So, what now?" Maleficent asked. "Tell the others to continue on as planned, and keep that stupid King locked up!" The leader ordered. Maleficent bowed and left the room, the leader approched a window, looking out into the distance. "So Disney Warrior" he said to himself. "You've finally decided to show up? fine, let the games begin..."
