Captain Endo stood there breathing heavily from his run and shock. He tightly gripped his sword and looked straight at captain Saigon. Everyone on the ship stopped fighting and stared at them with anticipation.

Captain Saigon smirked. "Then again, I think we all already know what your decision is going to be. So let me make it more interesting."

The door to his captains quarters was opened and out of it walked two crocodiles escorting a man with a bag over his head. His cloudy arms were tied together with a thick rope. Captain Endo turned his attention to the man and took a deep breath. He knew exactly who it was.

"Remove the bag from his head." Ordered captain Saigon.

His men followed his orders and removed the bag, revealing a cloud like humanoid. The man squinted his eyes as they adjusted to the daylight. He then focused his gaze on captain Endo.

"Oh, hey there captain. Haven't seen you in awhile." He greeted cheerfully. "I thought I heard the sound of people fighting, had a feeling it was you."

"He doesn't really get the whole being a prisoner thing." Stated captain Saigon. "Back to the point. His the reason you came and the way it looks to me is that your busy losing this battle."

Captain Endo turned around and looked at the scene behind him. Only a handful of his men remained standing. In fact, he could count them on his fingers. Even after all that fighting they were still heavily outnumbered and it was only a matter of time before his more valued crewmen would start falling.

He turned back to face captain Saigon. "So what do you want?"

"I offer you a chance to get what you want, but it will come at a price." He looked at Dante who was still trapped in his hand, then down at Jamie who laid under his foot.

"Captain, let him take me." Dante said.

"So who will it be?"

Captain Endo held his head down and gritted his teeth. "I choose that Jaime lives and that Dante pays the price."

Captain Saigon chuckled. "Why do you follow him?" He asked Dante. "His willing to give you up without a fight. However, you probably think you'd do the same for your love, which is why your taking the hit."

He lifted his large foot off of Jamie. "You know what I like most about pirates. It's not the killing or the pillaging or even the rum. It's their outfits and you've got a very nice one. However... I really like the eye patch and you know what? I think you could use one."

Captain Saigon jabbed his pointy fingers into Dante's red eye and grabbed hold of his pupil. Dante screamed in extreme pain as captain Saigon proceeded to remove his pupil from his eye. With one quick pull captain Saigon took it out and dropped it on the floor. Dante kept screaming and held his hand over the bleeding area where his eye use to be.

"You monster!" Jamie screamed in anger.

"You never said anything about torturing him!" Captain Endo yelled, holding his sword tightly.

Before captain Saigon could reply, Stalker flew up from the side of the ship and landed on the deck. He scanned the ship and then flew towards Lexy.

"What the hell is he-" Captain Saigon was interrupted by a large explosion that came from below deck.

The explosion rocked the ship and caused some of the men to fall down and for captain Saigon to lose his grip on Dante. When this happened Jamie ran towards him and helped him up. Captain Endo took the opportunity and stabbed one of the crocodiles behind him in his stomach.

"Jamie!" He called out. " Give me your sword!"

Jamie quickly threw her sword to him and started running away from Saigon with Dante. Captain Endo caught it and held it with both hands.

"This ends today." He whispered.

Stalker grabbed hold of Lexy while he was flying and took her away from the battle. The red fox saw this and then looked at Gumball who was busy fending of two crocodiles.

"We have to get to the Reclaimer and leave while we still can!" He yelled.

Gumball sliced his sword through one of the two crocodiles chests. "Then what are we waiting for?!"

He turned to Carrie and Simba. "Come on! We're leaving!"

Simba was busy fending of an opponent while Carrie was finishing of hers. After a slice through the stomach she moved to Simba and cut off the crocodiles hand. Simba then quickly stabbed him in the chest to.

Captain Saigon balanced himself out after the explosion and looked around for captain Endo. He then saw him by Mr. Small with the two crocodiles that were guarding him died on the floor. Captain Endo cut the ropes that were wrapped around Mr. Small's arms.

"Oh that feels much better." Mr. Small said happily as he rubbed his right arms wrist.

"Get aboard the ship." Captain Endo said.

"How am I supposed to get through that?" Mr. Small asked pointing at the horde of crocodiles.

"Damn it!"

Captain Saigon stepped closer. "Your not going anywhere."

In the mean time, the remaining crew got onto the Reclaimer. The red fox pulled out his pistol and shot one of the crocodiles that were trying to get aboard their ship.

"Get this thing moving!" He yelled to the turtle.

The turtle turned the ships wheel as the rest of the crew lowered the sails. The ship started moving forward and away from the Red Crow.

Captain Endo dodged a hit from Saigon's fist, the second hit went through the wooden door of the captains quarters. Captain Endo swung the armor braking sword and Saigon blocked it with his left arm.

"Ahhh!" He yelled and looked at his arm where a cut was visible.

"You actually found a sword that can Pearce my skin."

"Captain, if your not to busy we should go because your ship is leaving." Noted Mr. Small.

"Your crew is leaving, but we both know that keeping me alive is a costly mistake." Captain Saigon said with a grin.

Captain Endo stood there thinking about what he should do.

"Now would be a good time to jump ship!" Mr. Small yelled from the edge of the ship.

Captain Endo turned around and ran for it. He and Mr. Small then jumped from the one ship to the other. When they touched down they bent their knees and rolled.

"Get her up to maximum speed, now!" The turtle ordered.

All the sails were dropped and the ship made a speedy getaway.

"Should we follow them?" Asked Zadok.

"Repair the ship and remove the dead weight. We'll meet them again."

Captain Endo slowly got to his feet. He stood in the middle of the ship and looked all around him. His crew was reduced to a handful of men. Only then did it hit him that he had lost his best friend in that fight. He dropped the large sword on the deck and looked down. He used his right hand to wipe the sweat off from his forehead.

His gaze then turned to Dante who was sitting down at the edge of the ship with Jamie. Dante was holding his wounded eye while Jamie was cutting off a piece of her clothes to cover his eye.

"Well now, wasn't that a tricky situation. I thought for sure we were gonna be killed." Mr. Small said with a light chuckle, obviously not taking any of this seriously.

Captain Endo paid no mind to him and slowly walked over to Dante and Jamie. As he came closer they both looked up at him.

"Dante. I had no idea that he would do that." Captain Endo said with sympathy.

Dante kept quit as Jamie wrapped the piece of clothes around his eye. When she finished she stood up and walked to where captain Endo left her sword.

"It was my choice to follow you into this. Just tell me this. Has it been worth it so far?" Dante asked looking into the distance.

Captain Endo looked around again, this time taking note of who was left. Gumball sat on the stairs rubbing his head, Carrie was busy wrapping a bandage around Simba's arm and Lexy and Stalker stood by the railing on the port side. Along with them was the turtle by the wheel, the red fox securing the ropes and a large apple checking the cannons. Columbus was inside the captains quarters.

Captain Endo sighed. "How much are you willing to sacrifice for the one you love?"

He then walked to his quarters without giving Dante a chance to reply. Dante watched as he walked off and then looked at Jamie who was now helping the fox.

"Everything." He whispered to himself.

"You know you didn't have to do that." Said Lexy to Stalker. "I could have taken care of myself.

Stalker simply shrugged and looked at the horizon.

"Well, at least I know I can count on you." She said and kissed him on the cheek.

Stalker's eyes went wide, his cheeks turned red and he was frozen in place, causing Lexy to laugh.

"Stop! It hurts!" Simba complained as Carrie softly touched his blue eye.

"Your lucky to be alive to feel that pain." Carrie said with concern.

Simba sighed and looked down. "We could have all died, and for what? A single guy is not worth the lives of all the men that died today." He said with rage building up in him.

"Calm down Simba. It will all be over soon."

"I know it will, but how will it end and who will still be alive to she the next day?"

These words hurt Carrie. She is torn between Simba and her cousin, chances are that she may have to end up making a choice she doesn't think she can make.

"The worst is behind us, now all that remains is to come to the island." Kira said.

Gumball kept quit and decided if you have nothing good to say, then you should just keep it to yourself. He also looked at what remained of the crew and couldn't help but feel that this was all his fault. If this is what love does to someone, then he no longer saw the point in it.
