Chapter 9: Reunion.

Moana's POV

I tightened up a rope as we sailed along. We were getting close to the next island, hoping to get the people taking the hearts.

I looked over at Jack. His rejection was still hard to process. I just kept the pain to myself. I didn't want to show everyone that I was heartbroken.

"Hey."

I looked behind me to see our new member Jim.

"Oh hi." I said I as I continued to work.

"There anything I can do to help?" he asked.

I finished tying off the rope. "Nope. Just finished." I said as I sat down at the end of the boat.

Jim just sat down next to me. I scooted away from him.

"So, what's your story?"

I looked at him. "Why do you want to know?"

Jim shrugged. "Just trying to get to know you."

"All right. You go first. I'll tell you my story if you tell me your story."

"Well, my story starts when I was fifteen years old. I was a rebel, driving my mother crazy. But then one day a sailor came in on the run. His name was Billy Bones. He gave me a treasure map that lead to a treasure that was a legend back where I came from. Then he died, and some pirates destroyed my mother's inn. So, along with an old family friend, we went to find this treasure. But the pirates had other plans. They posed as the crew of the ship, committed a mutiny, and tried to take the treasure for themselves. But I got the drop on them, got some treasure, and went home, to help my mom fix up the inn. I then joined the Corona Guard and eventually became second in command."

I looked at him, very impressed. "So, you've faced pirates and found a legendary treasure. Impressive."

"Alright, I've told my story. Now it's your turn."

I smiled. "Well, I grew up on a beautiful island. But my father wanted me to stay on the island. But I was in love with the sea. My grandma urged me to follow my passion. Then the ocean chose me to return the Heart of Te Fiti. I got a boat, found Maui, helped him retrieve his hook from a giant crab, and successfully returned the heart. Then I went home and got my island to take up voyaging again."

"Wow that's pretty cool." Jim said. "Sound like we have something in common."

I looked at him. "What is that?"

"We both crave adventure."

I nodded. "It seems like it."

Just then Jack started looking around wildly, as if someone was talking to him.

…

Jack's POV

I sat on the boat just thinking about Elsa, hoping she was still all right. Just then I heard something. A voice. A familiar voice.

Jack!

I looked at Rapunzel. "What?"

Rapunzel looked at me confused. "What? Is there something wrong?"

"Didn't you say my name?"

No Jack, I did. It's Anna. I'm talking to you through my mind.

"Whoa. Anna that's amazing."

Merida looked at me. "Jack, who are you talking to?

"Anna, she's talking through my mind."

Jack, I don't have very long so SHUT UP!

I flinched in surprise. "Alright sorry. What's going on? Are you and the others all right?"

No. Hook has all the Hearts. The hearts of the Earth and Sky are dangerous. If we don't get them back, the sky is going to come down in the matter of months. They're taking us to a place called Lalotai. Please hurry.

"Don't worry, Anna. We'll get there as fast as we can." I said.

Her voice stopped so I assumed Anna stopped. I turned to the others.

"Guys, Anna and the others are in trouble. The pirate crew is going to toss the others in a place called Lalotai."

Maui stood up. "I know that place. It's a half a day to get there."

"Not if you control the wind." I said. I flew up and moved as much wind onto the sail.

The boat lurched forward. The others held on as the boat sailed towards where the others were.

…

Elsa's POV

Hiccup and Anna hung their head as the ship sailed towards Lalotai. I struggled against the rope, trying to escape. If Anna did get in contact with the others, we needed to get away so that they could find us.

"Elsa, save your strength." Hiccup said.

"Hiccup we can't just give up. They don't know where we are." I said.

"Well, they've been behind us since we were at the island of Tangaroa. I believe they knew where we are.

Just then a shadow fell over us. We looked to see a huge towering mountain.

Two of the crew cut the rope and grabbed us. The rest of the crew docked the ship.

Hook walked out of his cabin with Zarina on his shoulder. He looked up the towering mountain.

"Please, Hook. See reason. We're all going to die if you don't give those hearts." Hiccup said to Hook.

"You're a fool for believing a stupid legend like that." Hook then turned to the crew. "Fire the grappling hooks."

The crew shot some grappling hooks up to the top of the mountain. They pulled on the rope to secure them.

The crew pushed us to the ropes. We grabbed the ropes and started to climb. Hook, Zarina and a crew member named Bonito started climb up with us.

We eventually got to the top. A tribal face was carved on the top. Hook smiled. "Go ahead Bonito."

Bonito started chanting a different kind of language. Then he jumped up and slammed his fists on the rock. The face opened its mouth to reveal a deep hole with a glowing purple light at the bottom.

"Alright you three. In you go."

Just then, Zarina started freaking out. She grabbed Hook dragged him to the edge. He grabbed his spyglass and looked to see what it was.

"What? Who are they?" He said.

I sigh a sigh of relief. The others had caught up. Hiccup started to smile. Anna started silently cheering.

"Tell them to fire the cannons at them!" Hook shouted at Zarina. The fairy shot down to the ship.

Hook turned us and shoved Hiccup into the hole. "Sorry, no last words."

Before Anna and I could do anything, Bonito grabbed us and threw us in after Hiccup.

…

Merida's POV

Jack, Rapunzel, and I marveled at the size of the towering mountain. Maui started laughing at us.

"You should see your faces." He said.

I glared at him to shut him up.

Just then, we heard a loud bang. We looked next to the island to see a frigate docked next to the island. The water exploded next to the boat.

"They're firing the cannons at us!" Jim said.

Jack grabbed Rapunzel and me. He then looked at Moana. "Get the boat to the island. The three of us will go get the others. We'll worry about the hearts later."

Jack then flew into the air with us in his arms. But we heard a roar. I looked to see Toothless trying to come with us. He opened his wing and tried to fly with us.

"Jack!" I shouted.

"I see him." Jack said as he shot some magic from his staff. Toothless started flying normal.

Jack landed on the top of the mountain. There was a giant face on the ground. Toothless landed. I looked to see that Jack used his ice to make a temporary tail for him.

"Really? You couldn't have done that sooner?" I said.

"What? It wouldn't have lasted very long if I would have." Jack pointed to the fin as it disappeared.

"Um, guys. We have more important thing to worry about right now. Like where are the others?" Rapunzel said as she motioned that we were alone up here.

"Maui said it was under the island." Jack said. "What if?"

Jack walked over to the center of the face and put his ear to the ground. He tapped his staff on the ground.

"It's hollow. Toothless, blast here." Jack said as he pointed to the mouth of the face.

Toothless reared his head and blasted the mouth. The teeth of the face fell through, leaving a hole big enough for us to get through. The four of us looked down the hole to see an endless hole.

"Let's go!" I said. I jumped in and started to fall. I fell for a while. I hit the water and started shooting down. The water was purple, and rings of bubbles guided me down. I then found myself falling and hitting the ground. Before I could I could get up, Rapunzel and Jack landed on me. Toothless glided down.

"Why did he have a good landing!" Jack groaned as he got up.

We looked around to see a whole new world down here. Monsters everywhere.

"I hope the others are still alive." I said.

…

Anna's POV

"I think their gone." Hiccup said.

After Hook had us thrown into the hole, we found ourselves in this strange world full of monsters. I almost got eaten by a green monster. We finally made it into a cave after being chased by giant bats.

I looked in the cave to see what was inside. A giant pile of treasure was in the cave.

I tapped Elsa on the shoulder. She turned around and looked too. We walked up to the treasure.

"Hiccup, there's enough treasure here to buy the hearts back."

Hiccup finally looked. "Wait, stop!"

I grabbed a shiny goblet, but when I did, the ground started to shake. Then the pile started to rise. A giant claw grabbed me. I then found myself face to face with a giant crab.

"Well, well, look what I have here. A human." The giant crab said as he brought me to his eye level.

"HEY, PUT HER DOWN!" I heard Elsa shout.

The crab looked and saw Elsa. He picked her up and brought her up with me. "Two humans. What a treat."

"Who do you think you are."

"I'm glad you asked." The crab said.

Well, Tamatoa hasn't always been this glam

I was a drab little crab once

Now I know I can be happy as a clam

Because I'm beautiful baby

Did your parents say, "Listen to your heart"?

"Be who you are on the inside"?

I need three words to tear their argument apart

Your parents lied

I'd rather be shiny

Like a treasure from a sunken pirate wreck

Scrub the deck and make it look shiny

I will sparkle like a wealthy woman's neck

Just a sec, don't you know?

Fish are dumb, dumb, dumb

They chase anything that glitters, beginners

Oh, and here they come, come, come

To the brightest thing that glitters

Mmm, fish dinners

I just love free food

And you look like seafood

Tamatoa moved me towards his open mouth. I fought to get away. Elsa then shot the crab in the eye.

"AHHHHHH! MY EYE! MY BEAUTIFUL EYE!" Tamatoa screamed as he dropped both of us. Hiccup caught me. Elsa used her powers to catch herself.

We began to run to the exit, but Tamatoa blocked it. "Not so fast." The crab said as he looked at us with a red irritated eye.

Just then something jumped over the claw. Jack, Rapunzel, Merida, and Toothless glided over to us and got in front of us.

"Oh, more humans. Delicious." Tamatoa said.

"Not in your wildest dreams, Crab cakes." Jack said as he shot his powers at the other eye.

Tamatoa started screaming in pain as he turned in pain. "MY EYES! I CAN'T SEE!"

The crab moved his claw, leave the exit clear.

"Go, Go!" Merida shouted. We took off towards the exit of the cave.

"Head for the geyser." Hiccup said as we ran. We ran over to it right as it exploded, shooting us up towards the surface.

We broke through the surface and landed on the beach.

Once everyone composted themselves, Elsa lunged at Jack.

"Jack! You saved us." She said as she started to kiss him.

"Ha, wait til she finds out." Merida whispered to me.

"Finds out what?" I asked.

Before she could answer me, Hiccup grabbed her and kissed her.

"Oh, I missed you too." Merida said.

"Not as much as I missed you." Hiccup said.

I smiled. It was nice to get the team back together, but we had more important things to do.

"Guys we need to go get the hearts back."

Just as I said that, a boat came sailing up next to us. There was a young girl, a big man, and Hawkins on the boat.

"Well then, let's get going." Rapunzel said.

The Team is back together!

Now time to get those Hearts back and save the world.

Let me know what you think
