Here's Chapter 11! And let me tell you, things are about to get ugly.
Chapter 11: Mutinous Torture
The next morning, Ben and Kai goofily frolicking across the deck, passing by Gwen and Kevin. "Morning Ben!" Gwen said. "Hi guys!" Ben said. "Hello Kai!" Kevin said. "Good morning." Kai said. Kevin snacked on a biscuit while Gwen sipped on cocoa. "Well, I'm glad at least one of us is having a good time." Gwen said, taking a sip. "Yeah Gwen, it's not so bad. You know, Yetta said that later on she'd throw a line out the back and let me ski along the bottom." Kevin said laughing. Gwen felt unsure. "Man, I don't know about this crew." Gwen said, not noticing Argit, Solid Plugg and Liam sneaking up on them. "I feel like they're always watching us just waiting to pounce!" "Oh, that's just a figment of your imagination." Kevin doubted. Then Liam grabbed them, dragging them down the cargo bay.
"This is a figment of my imagination?" Gwen sarcastically asked, chained to a post while Kevin was strapped to a stretcher. "Now, tell us where the map is, OR WE'LL TEAR YOU LIMB FROM LIMB!" Argit threatened. Kevin was unphased by Argit's threat. "Never. My girl and I will never tell." Kevin said. "Yeah. Or maybe if you ask really nice." Gwen teased. "In your dreams. We not as stupid as we look." Plugg said. "Do it, Plugg! Do it!" Argit said. Plugg started turning the rotor on the stretcher, stretching Kevin's arms and legs. But Kevin was just laughing and loving it, much to Argit's chagrin. "Look at me! I'm getting taller! He said with a laugh. "This won't work! He liked it!" Argit said. He turned to Gwen. "Let's torture the girl!" Gwen went pale white at hearing Argit's words. Liam came over with a fire iron, the tip glowing hot, and waved it in front of Gwen. "I've got a lovely recipe for stuffed Anodie." Liam chuckled. Gwen screamed with terror. Then Myaxx walked in and gasped at what she saw. "I say! This doesn't look safe!" She said. Liam, who was holding the hot part of the iron, started clucking in pain from his burning hand. "What? What? What's wrong?" Argit asked taking notice. "I burnt my hand!" Liam cried. "Oh! Kiss it or something!" Myaxx just shook her head.
On deck, Driba and Blukig were setting Kevin up to be cured. Azmuth turned to Myaxx, who had just tied up the 3 crooks. "Mrs. Aerrow! Lock those 3 up for the remainder of the voyage!" He ordered with a glare. "Yes sir!" Myaxx led the 3 to the brig while Azmuth looked to Ben, who was polishing the rim with Kai cuddling his back. "Master Hawkins! Mrs. Kai! May I see you 2 in my cabin please?" He requested. "Yes sir." Ben answered. He took Kai's hand and led her to Azmuth's cabin.
Blukig and Driba had stringed up Kevin to be cured. "Ready Mr. Kevin?" Driba called. "Ready!" Kevin responded. "Tie off the rope, Blukig!" Driba said to his partner. "On it!" Blukig said, doing as ordered. Driba took out a pair of scissors. "We call this 'the window shade cure'." He said. "Alright. Snip, snip, snip." He sniped the bottom rope, sending Kevin zooming upwards, his arms and legs back to their normal length. Kevin dropped down, landing on Blukig. "Wow! That was awesome!" Kevin said getting up. Blukig tapped his leg, getting his attention and pointed to his hat covering face. "Oh sure." Kevin said, knowing what the Galvan wanted. He pulled the hat off, making Blukig gasp for air.
Inside the cabin, Ben looked at the picture of Azmuth and the other 2 Galvans. "Who're the other 2 Galvans, sir?" He asked. "Never mind that Ben. Listen." Azmuth went to the point. "I really hope you're willing to give me the map now, considering what just happened." Ben felt unsure. "I'd rather not sir." Azmuth sighed and shook his head. "I was hoping it wouldn't come to this Ben, but as captain, I order you to give me the map." Kai put her hand on Ben's shoulder. "It's for the best Ben." She assured. Ben sighed in defeat and took the map out from his shirt. "Mrs. Aerrow?" Azmuth called. Myaxx walked in. "Aye aye captain." "Lock up this treasure map." Myaxx took the map and placed it in a cupboard in Azmuth's desk. "It will be safe in here sir." She shut the door and locked it with her keys.
