All of the pirates were cramped up in the ghost proof cell, feeling the ship beginning its sail back to Amity Park.
Freakshow said gloomily knowing very well what's going to happen to all of them once they returned to Amity Park, "We're doomed."
Box Ghost however merely smiled and said, "BEWARE! For I feel better about myself and feel like I have learned a valuable lesson."
All of the pirates groaned and began hitting and punching Box Ghost. Skulker had his own cell and groaned in annoyance at the noise. He placed his hands in his pants pockets and then felt something in one of them. He pulled it out and grinned as he discovered he still had Valerie's keys. He hid them in his arms and waited for night to come.
The ship had stopped for the night. Dani was asleep in her bed, when she heard the noise of something splashing in the water. She got up, put on her dressing gown and walked out onto the deck.
She looked to the side to see Skulker had packed as much of the treasure in the small life-boat as he could and was about to head off.
"Skulker!" Dani shouted to him.
He looked at her and sat down on the seat. He then asked, "I suppose you'll be blowing the whistle on me now Danielle?"
"I suppose I will. You have to return to Amity Park to stand trial." Dani answered, holding her hand on the whistle.
Skulker chuckled and then said as he pulled out his blaster and aimed it at her, "I'm sorry Dani, but I have a terrible fear of prisons and being dismantled."
She slowly moved the whistle towards her mouth. Skulker could see she wasn't joking and pleaded, "We're shipmates aren't we Dani? Just give me one more chance?"
Danielle however, couldn't trust him ever again. Not after everything he did. She had honestly looked up to Skulker like a father, but after he revealed his true colours she was….she was devastated.
She placed the whistle in her mouth, but for some reason, couldn't find it in her heart to blow it. Skulker was about to fire, but….he couldn't do it. He dropped the blaster and said, "Oh Danielle! I could never harm you."
Dani put the whistle down as he finished, "You're honest, brave and true. You didn't learn that from me, that's for sure."
Tears of sadness and betrayal fell from her eyes as she demanded, "I learned it from my friends and family Skulker. You know, I looked up to you like a father and you….you just threw all that away. Now take your oars and row away. I never want to see you again ever! If you come back, I will not hesitate to stop you and lock you up forever."
Skulker nodded and was about to row away when he remembered something. He pulled out Dani's compass and tossed it to her as he said, "Here Dani! This rightfully belongs to you."
Dani caught the compass and held it in her hands. She looked back up at Skulker as he rowed away and said, "It's a shame really. We would've made a great team Danielle. Farewell!"
Danielle watched as Skulker rowed away and disappeared into the fog. Her tears kept falling as Danny, Jazz, Valerie and Tucker came over and stood beside her, after watching what happened.
Danny placed a comforting hand on her shoulder and said, "Well done Danielle. Mum and dad would've been so proud of you."
Danielle looked back to where she saw Skulker sailed off and merely nodded. Valerie then realised something and said, "Uh Danny, the lifeboat he took….I don't think that one was safe and it definitely needed repairs."
They're eyes widened and wondered as they looked out to the horizon, what would happen to Skulker now.
As the lifeboat sank beneath the water, Skulker abandoned it and began swimming back towards the island. Now he was marooned with no crew, no ship and no treasure.
"Maybe I should've stayed on the ship." Skulker said as he continued to swim.
A few weeks later….
After the pirates had been dropped off back in Amity Park, they were once again on the seas and ready to set sail once again. Sam and Danny stood together, Ghostwriter was at the helm, Jazz and Tucker had finished setting the sails and Damian and Technus had checked everything over.
"We're ready to sail Danny." Valerie reported.
Danny smiled and asked Danielle, "Where to Captain Danielle?"
Danielle smiled as she looked out to the ocean and said, "To wherever the wind may take us."
"Off to discover new worlds and new cultures!" Jazz added with excitement.
Tucker groaned, "Here they go again."
They all laughed as began to dance to the music of Ember and her band, ready to once again sail for adventure!
THE END
