Chapter 11

Fanny continued to scream for help until Kuki and Wally came scampering over. They tried to keep Stickybeard's ship away from us but it wasn't working. I crawled over to Bartie and placed a hand on his shoulder "Are you okay?" I asked concerned.

"I can't move." He groaned. I gasped and took a glance at Stickybeard's ship. I looked back at Bartie who seemed like he was in pain.

"Don't worry!" I said. "Everything's going to be fine."

I dug in my pockets looking for a bomb of some sort but found none. "Shit!" I hissed. Stickybeard started shooting cannonballs towards Kuki, Rachel, Fanny and Wally. One hit Rachel and she fell to the floor unconscious. "Sir!" Fanny screamed.

"Retreat!" Kuki commanded. Hoagie picked Rachel up and started running, Fanny, Wally and Kuki following suit. I put my arms under Bartie's knees and back and picked him up and I followed after Kuki. He was lighter than I thought. We kept running to god knows where, but hopefully somewhere safe. Bartie wrapped his arms around my neck to make sure he doesn't fall.

"Over here!" Fanny called out, pointing behind a ride. We gathered around and Hoagie laid Rachel on the ground. I laid Bartie next to her and sat down beside him.

"Rachel?" Wally asked, shaking her shoulders. "Wake up."

Rachel fluttered her eyes open. "Ow." She groaned.

"Can ya sit up sir?" Fanny asked.

Rachel tried but she struggled and took a big breath before falling back down again. "Bartie?" I asked. "How's you leg?"

He sat up and held it. "Still hurts." He said.

"Here are the pesky teens Mr. Fibb."

"Here they are indeed Mr. Wink."

We looked up and there on a chair standing on long legs sat Mr. Wink and Mr. Fibb. "BACK OFF!" Fanny screeched before firing her MUSKET gun towards them. It got a leg and it managed to make them stumble for a bit but they still stood strong. "Ah crud!"

The leg shook the mustard off and took a swing at Fanny. She flew backwards but Hoagie managed to catch her. "Are you okay?" He asked. Fanny groaned in reply.

"LOOK OUT!" Kuki squealed right before the same leg hit them both. They fell, too bruised and battered to do anything.

Kuki stepped up to Mr. Wink and Mr. Fibb, Wally looking very concerned. "Hi!" She innocently said, hoping to distract them for a while.

"Well hello there." Mr. Fibb said.

"Too terrible we'll have to crush you." Mr. Wink said. "Right Mr. Fibb?"

"Most terrible Mr. Wink."

They lifted a leg and took a swing at her, but Kuki managed to dodge with a back flip. I guess all that cheerleading is paying off. "She is most annoying Mr. Fibb." Mr. Wink said.

"Most annoying Mr. Fibb." Mr. Fibb replied to his counterpart. They decided to use two legs now and swung them at Kuki. She was unprepared to dodge and got hit. She fell to the floor just as badly battered as Fanny and Hoagie. Wally then stepped up to play hero.

"Okay, ya cruddy villains are gonna get it now!" He yelled. He grabbed onto a leg and tried to climb up. The leg shook and swung him off, causing him to fall hard on the floor. Me and Bartie winced. Wally got up and charged at our enemies, but unfortunately a leg hit him and fell into the same state as the rest of our team mates. Mr. Wink and Mr. Fibb spotted Bartie and me and advanced towards us. I looked around for something. "Stay here." I whispered to Bartie.

"Huh?" He asked.

I didn't answer and I grabbed a long pole most probably used to hold up a stall. I charged towards the both of them and stuck the pole on the ground causing me to fly up in the air. I could hear Bartie scream. I landed on Mr. Wink and Mr. Fibb's chair and pulled out my SPLANKER. "Okay you annoying jerks." I spat at them. "Time to be SPLANKER'ed."

Before I could do anything though a claw came out from the seat and grabbed my jacket, holding me far above the ground. I gulped and my breathing got heavier as sweat began to drip from my forehead. I closed my eyes tight and said my last prayer.
