Back at Carrie's place, the four were busy drinking tea in awkward silence. Gumball sat were he did earlier, Carrie on a chair across him, Lexy on a chair by the window and Simba stood by the window.

"This is really nice tea." Simba said, braking the silence.

"Thank you." Carrie thanked him for the complement with a smile. Lexy looked at Simba and used her head to motion him to continue. Simba thought at least this time he had backup, so he cleared his throat and proceeded.

"So, Carrie I assume you heard my story and you know about Gumball and whatever is going on." He said giving Gumball the stink eye and Gumball returning the favor. "However, the two of us haven't really heard much about you."

"Well like I said times are hard that's why we live here. My dad is a fisherman and I weave baskets from time to time and sell them." Carrie explained. Everyone then took a sip of their tea, just then the door opened revealing another ghost, taller than Carrie and of male gender. He wore an old black jacket with a white shirt underneath and held a fishing rode in his left hand. The first thing he saw was Simba which aggravated him, but then he saw Lexy sitting next to him and he gained a more calm expression. Lexy and Carrie stood up and put their tea aside.

"Hello father." Carrie greeted her father.

"Hello Mr. Krueger." Lexy did the same.

"Hello girls. And how are you Lexy? Haven't seen you in long time."

"I'm doing well thank you. This is Simba. His a new blood and so is Gumball over there." Lexy introduced him. Mr. Krueger inspected them for a moment.

"It's him father." Carrie said pointing at Gumball. Mr. Krueger thought for a moment and realized who she meant. He placed his fishing rode against the wall and walked towards Gumball.

"How do you know this?" He asked.

"Captain Endo brought him." She replied. It was obvious enough that the captain wouldn't just assume it to be anyone.

"Tell me what you know son."

"1710 August, aboard the Sea Walker." Gumball said. Mr. Krueger's eyes went wide, he moved into the kitchen and told his daughter to follow. The trio looked at each other, each curios as to what was actually going on. Carrie's father came back out and looked at Gumball.

"We wait for the captain and then all will be explained."

Later that day everyone was gathered in that room, including the quartermaster. The four teens where by their original positions. Carrie's father floated by the kitchen door. The captain and quartermaster stood by the entrance and Columbus stood next to Gumball.

"About five years ago." Captain Endo started. "Me, Mr. Krueger, and the quartermaster were captives aboard the Sea Walker. We were round about 17, young and dump. The crew had just retrieved an old Earth relic and they used a girl named Kira to get it. She is a year younger than me and as young as we were I could already tell that see was the girl I wanted to spend my life with. But things went wrong that day." Captain Endo explained, everyone listening carefully.

"listen kid." He continued. "What happened that day is something I'd rather forget. All you need to know is that I need your help to get her back." Gumball took a moment to think, obviously this was going to be dangerous. However, his always had a thing for adventure.

"I'll do it." Gumball said.

"Right then, there's-" Endo was cut off.

"I wasn't finished." Gumball interrupted. Captain Endo looked at him with a raised eyebrow.

"First of, I want a better sword. Second two pistols and third I want a favorable position on the ship." Gumball demanded, causing everyone to look curiously at Captain Endo. Captain Endo walked over to Gumball.

"Get me back my girl and I'll get you your own ship." He said and Gumball nodded in agreement.

"One more thing. If you ever interrupt me again I'll break your arm." Captain Endo threatened and again Gumball nodded.

"As I was saying, we need one more thing. Someone native to the island. Columbus, find me Mr. Small." Captain Endo said. Columbus then started to concentrate. His needle started turning and spun around in high speed. After a moment it came to a stop and he opened his eyes.

"His on the Red Crow." Columbus said with a worried look on his face.

"Saigon's Ship." Captain Endo whispered.

"Your not actually thinking of going after him?" Columbus asked. Captain Endo gave a look of determination.

"Your talking about a legendary ship. 120 guns, 60 on each side, Reinforced iron hull which your guns can hardly penetrate and a massive iron ram that can take out a Man O War!" Columbus argued.

"Then we'll need a second ship." Captain Endo said and walked out.

"Boy I support the captain no matter what." The quartermaster started. "But what you just did is doomed us all." He said and followed the captain.

"Thank you for doing this Gumball." Carrie thanked him.

"Carrie, your not serious. You'll get killed out there." Columbus argued.

"I'm the only one who can break through the barrier. I'm getting my cousin back!" Carrie said in return now aggravated.

Back at the harbormaster captain Endo and the quartermaster were busy discussing.

"How much did we make and what can we buy with it." Captain Endo asked.

"We can get two medium sized cannons, six fire barrels and full ammunition." The quartermaster replied.

"That's it?"

"Cannons are expensive captain and we still have to pay the crew."

"Get it. I need to talk to the crew. We leave in two days."

The sun was now almost out of view as night time was setting in. The crew and her captain where all gathered on the ship. The captain was ready to give a speech.

"For three years my service has been to the crew of this ship. I have given more plunder then most pirates. Now I ask something of you in return. The rumors of the name of this ship are true and the time has come. We are going after the Iron Ram. Who's with me?" The crew mumbled.

"Not a very good at speeches." Gumball whispered.

"What do expect from someone who never hardly ever talks." Simba replied.

"Shut up! Both of you!" Lexy whispered loudly.

"That's suicide!" yelled out Jack. The captain walked up to him.

"I don't expect you to understand." He said to Jack.

"No I don't. And I'm sure most of us don't either. You want to kill yourself. Fine, but don't think were coming with you."

"Then leave."

"Why should we? This is a democracy and if the vote is against you then your no longer fit to be captain." The crew cheered in agreement.

"If you don't want to come with fine, but this is my ship and if you want it you have to kill me first."

"Your funeral." With that the rest of the crew made way and each of them were handed a simple sword to make it a fair fight. The captain readied himself, then signaled Jack to come get it. Jack ran with force and swung his sword at the captain who easily dodged it. The lizard swung again and their swords connected. Three more blows each blocked by the captain. On the fourth blow Jack used his tail to try and trip the captain, but failed. The captain jumped over it and brought his sword down stabbing Jack's tail. Jack yelled out in pain, his tail wiggled around and then detached from his body as a survival tactic. Another crew member joined the fight, a brown dog. He swung his sword at the captains head, but this to was dodged. The captain brought fist to the dogs stomach. He then grabbed him by the ear, placed his sword at the lower part of the ear and in one swift movement removed it. Causing the dog to also yell out in pain, while bleeding from wear his ear should be. Jack then came back and tried to stab the captain. Another quick dodge and a sword to Jack side. The cut wasn't deep, but painful nonetheless. The dog returned charging, careful time made that the captain dodged at a point where it was too late for the dog to stop. His sword pointed forward and was sent straight through Jack's chest. Jack coughed up blood, brought up his sword and pierced the dogs heart. The dog fell down also coughing up blood and died soon after hitting the floor. Jack removed the sword that didn't go all the way through.

"I die for the crew. You die for your own selfish reasons." Jack said coughing again. He then charged one last time with two swords at his disposal. He swung them at the captain who blocked both swords, pushed him back, aimed his sword at Jack's stomach and pushed his sword into it. Jack yelled out again, dropping his swords. The captain removed his sword and Jack dropped to his knees. Captain Endo then brought down his sword on top of Jack's skull. The sword went down till it reached Jack's throat killing him instantly. He dropped to the ground with the sword still in his skull.

"Someone clean up this mess." Captain Endo ordered as we walked back the captains quarters. The crew did as they were told without a hint of hesitation. Gumball couldn't help but throw up, even Lexy stood in horror, Simba sat down and took a deep breath. Only Dante and Jamie out of the teens had seen something like that before.

"Does this have something to do with him?" Dante asked pointing at Gumball who was panting slightly.

"Yes. Keeping him and two others alive is going to be our number one priority." Lexy replied.

"Then I advise you get him ready." Dante said and walked away followed by Jamie. Lexy looked back at Gumball and thought that what Dante said was right. If Gumball is going to survive he needs to learn to fight much better then he can now, same goes for Simba.

"You two!" She called out. Gumball and Simba looked over at her.

"Tomorrow you two are starting with training."

"But I can fight." Said Simba earning a laugh from Gumball.

"If the crew is afraid what makes you think you'll survive with your minor military training?"

"I guess it wont hurt to improve."

"I thought so." With that Lexy left them and went below deck.

The next day preparations begun. The new cannons were being loaded along with fire barrels and other ammunition. Meanwhile the teens stood on top of a hill on a grass plain surrounded by trees and no one else in sight

"Gumball and Jamie." Lexy started. "Simba and Dante. You are going to be sparing partners."

"This is stupid. We'll obviously lose." Gumball complained.

"This is the only way I can be sure no one gets killed." Lexy said with a smile. "Anyway." She continued. "We'll start off with combat training then a sprint the harbor and finally a swim to the ship.

"And you don't think that will kill us?" Gumball asked.

"Enough talking. Lets start."

Lexy gave Gumball a British cutlass from captain Endo. He happily took it, but his smile disappeared when he saw Jamie getting ready.

"This is going to hurt." He told himself.
