NOTICE! I do not own anything in this fanfiction, save for two characters.
CRAAAAP! DeviantArt distracted me! Dang... I'm so sorry... Well, let's just continue with the story, huh?
"Pirates on my ship!?" Midna growled, opening the cabinet and pulling out pistols and the map, "I'll make sure they're dead by the end of the day!" She tossed a pistol to Chopper, who was clumsy to catch it. "Ever use these?"
All Chopper could do was toss the gun to himself hastily. "Uh, uh--"
BANG!
The clock on the wall was shot off. Midna's eyes widened as she looked at the remains of the clock.
"Uh... N-no...I haven't," Chopper stammered, holding the gun awkwardly.
The impish captain rolled her eyes. GIR, who was also in the room, ran up to the map and looked at his reflection in it. "Oooooh..." GIR said, as though in a trance, "Shiny..."
Hogarth, also in the captain's quarters, heard crackling behind him. The device that locked the door was glowing a bright red and sparks were shooting out of it! The pirates were trying to burn the lock off!
"Hogarth!" Midna shouted. Hogarth turned. "Make sure this stays safe!" She tossed the map to Hogarth...
...only to have it get caught by GIR, whom, everyone knew, was too trusting to protect anything. "Hey, no! GIR!" Hogarth shouted, chasing GIR around the quarters until he finally pulled it out of the little SIR prototype's hands.
As the pirates were attempting to burn the lock off, Jumba was losing patience. Finally, he said, "Oh, this is taking too long!", shoved his comrades aside, and blasted the whole door away with his plasma cannon!
BOOOOM!
The pirates walked into the room, only to find nobody and a cabinet full of useless items.
Then Jumba noticed the hole in the floor, as did the others.
"Oh, for--" he muttered before shoving one of the pirates down the hole, yelling, "Stop them!"
Hogarth, GIR, Midna, and Chopper (who was in his Walk Point) were running down the hallways until they reached the Jetboat Hangar. They were just outside the door, in the hangar.
Of course, the pirates were in hot pursuit, toting pistols. Midna pushed Chopper away from the door, slammed it shut, and zapped it with Twilight magic to lock it.
"Into the Jetboats, now!" she barked.
The others jumped into one of the boats. Midna pulled a switch to open the hangar door for the boats. The pirates were zapping the edge of the passengers' door, the one that Midna locked. The captain flew into the boat Hogarth, GIR, and Chopper were in, then pulled out her pistol.
Suddenly, GIR snatched the map out of Hogarth's pocket, jumped out of the Jetboat, and scampered off!
"GIR, no!" Hogarth shouted, chasing after the little robot, who was giggling maniacally.
BOOOM! The pirates blew open the door and started shooting at our heroes. Note: One of the pirates in this scene is El Gigante. Chopper ducked as Midna shot back at the pirates.
"Eat this!" Midna shouted at the enemies.
Then something a little unexpected happened: Chopper went into his Heavy Point and shot off the "look-through" part of the periscope, sending it crashing down on the pirates. They screamed as they and the chunk of periscope fell into the sea. Splash!
Midna looked down at the drowning pirates, impressed with Chopper's unexpected action. She turned to the reindeer doctor. "Did you actually aim for that?" she asked.
Chopper looked at his pistol, bewildered by his own actions. Even proud! "...You know...I actually did!" he exclaimed, smiling.
No time to celebrate, though. More pirates were flooding through the door, shooting! Jumba was with them, and he pulled the switch to close the hangar door, trying to keep the Longboats from escaping.
Midna noticed this. "Oh, that fat--" she muttered, then looked up at the supporting cables.
She had an idea. "Chopper," she said, "when I say 'now', shoot out that forward cable! I'll take the back one!" Chopper nodded, a stern look on his face.
Meanwhile, Jumba noticed GIR carrying the map and Hogarth in hot pursuit. Jumba needed that map! Quickly, the alien doctor stepped in.
"GIR!" he shouted. GIR turned to his master. "GIR, come!" the alien said, trying to coax the robot and the map over to him.
Hogarth tried to do the same. "GIR?" he said, in a friendlier tone, "GIR, bring it here! GIR, c'mere!"
Poor GIR was getting confused. Who would he go to? He didn't want anyone feeling left out! Unable to think of what else to do, he ducked into a nearby barrel.
Now it had become a race for the map. Jumba, however, was suffering from the massive headache that Hogarth inflicted him with (remember, he slammed a wrench on Jumba's head). The alien pirate captain was about to reach into the barrel to grab GIR and the map, but Hogarth was too quick. He grabbed both out of the barrel, paused for a minute to stare at his former friend, and ran off, with GIR waving goodbye to Jumba.
Jumba raised his plasma cannon to shoot Hogarth, but...he just didn't have the heart. He lowered the weapon with a sigh.
Hogarth had jumped into the Jetboat just in time! "NOW!" Midna shouted, and she and Chopper shot the cables that suspended the boat over the closing hangar door. Fortunately, the boat got through the door safely and landed in the water with a SPLASH! Midna quickly opened the sail and fired the jets.
As our heroes were speeding through the water, however, Wapol was targeting them, his special Baku Baku Shock: Tongue Cannon loaded with a bomb.
"That's it!" Wapol shouted, "Come to papa!"
Jumba ran over to Wapol, shouting, "Hold your fire! We will lose the map!" But he was too late. The metal-jawed pirate had already fired.
Chopper saw this and shouted, "Captain! Bomb at 12 o'clock!"
Midna tried to steer out of the way, but the bomb still managed to hit the jets. A large splinter of the boat flew out and slashed the imp in the side. A stinging pain shot through her body and she clutched her side.
Now the Jetboat sped onto Treasure Island. Midna managed to steer around most of the trees, but they still crashed into one -- CRASH! -- and went flying. The skiff's "nose" hit the ground and flipped forward, sending it upside-down with the group inside and finally skidding to a halt.
There was a brief moment of silence before Hogarth lifted the boat and rubbed all his sore areas.
"Oof," Chopper moaned, "That was more fun than I ever wanna have again..."
"Well," Midna grunted, "that wasn't exactly one of my sneakier landings, but-- UNH!" She fell forward, clutching her bleeding side.
"Captain!" Chopper shouted.
Midna brushed him off. "Oh, knock it off," she said, "Just bruised, that's all. I only need some rest. Hogarth..." She looked at Chopper, but then squinted, THEN turned to Hogarth. "The map."
Hogarth smiled and took the silver orb out of his pocket. But something didn't look right about it...
"Oh, you wanted the map!"
Everyone looked at GIR. "I left that up there." He pointed at the Wonderlust.
Hogarth glared at GIR. "You left what up there?"
"The...mappy...orby thingy..." GIR answered.
"WHAT!?" Hogarth shouted, "Are you SERIOUS!? It's back on the SHIP!?" He started to chase after the robot.
But Midna spotted something. "Stifle that walking can and get down," she said through gritted teeth, "We've got company."
Indeed they did. The pirates were pulling up to the island in another Jetboat.
Hogarth and the others ducked behind their crashed boat. Midna turned to Hogarth. "We're gonna need a better position." She handed Hogarth a BB pistol, which was all she had for the boy. "Hogarth, scout ahead."
Hogarth took the gun. "Aye, captain," he said grimly before heading off with GIR.
Midna grunted in pain and fell again, clutching her side. Chopper, who had gone into his Brain Point earlier, caught her.
"Easy!" Chopper cautioned, "Easy." Normally, Chopper would've panicked, but he was trying to be brave this time. "OK, let's have a look at that." He bent over Midna, ready to perform doctoring once again.
Well, uh, that's all for now. Sorry I kept you guys waiting. Well, read and review, please? I'm begging you.
