"We have to get a look at this map," Josh said as he and Manik stared at the bottle in front of them.
"But how are we going to get it out without waking up the spirit inside," Manik asked.
"What makes you think there really is a ghost pirate in there?"
"I just have a hunch, Josh. You don't have to criticize me."
"I'm not criticizing you," Josh said.
"Really? Because it sounds like you are," Rocket said as he and Sally stood behind Josh and Manik.
"I wasn't criticizing you, Manik. I told you that."
"That wasn't me," Manik said.
"Then who was it," Josh asked.
"Turn around and find out," Sally said before Josh and Manik realized who was standing right behind them.
"We're toast."
"Definitely." Josh and Manik then turned around to face Rocket and Sally.
"How'd you find us," Josh asked.
"Simple. We just followed the tracks you left behind."
"Great. We just had to leave a trail."
"What's in the bottle, Josh," Rocket asked.
"It's ours and you can't have it," Josh said before Rocket used his telekinesis to lift him and Manik off the ground.
"Well, that's just cheating," Manik said.
"Welcome to my world, Manik. We've been expecting you."
"Now to see what's in this bottle." Rocket then used his free hand to uncork the bottle moments before a cloud of black smoke made its way out of the bottle and into Sally's body.
"Sally, please tell me you're okay," Rocket said as he released his telekinetic hold on Manik and Josh.
"My back," Josh said after Manik landed on top of him.
"Sorry." Rocket then made his way over to Sally's unconscious form and scooped her up in his arms.
"Sally, are you okay?"
"Of course I am, matey," Sally said before Rocket dropped her.
"Who are you," Rocket asked.
"I am Jacob the Fierce and I see you found my map."
"Wait. This is your map?"
"You bet your gold it is. I've buried the treasure that map leads to long ago," Jacob said.
"Has anyone found that treasure," Josh asked.
"Not that I know of."
"Interesting."
"That tone of voice tells me you want to be the first to find it," Jacob said.
"Fine. You got me, Jacob. I do want to find that treasure," Josh said.
"I thought so. Many people have that kind of energy."
"Then Josh is in a class of his own."
"Very funny, Dad," Josh said.
"Is he your father," Jacob asked.
"Not in this timeline, but he will be in the future. It's complicated."
"I imagine it is."
"Anyway, we should get started with looking for this treasure," Josh said.
"Quite right. We must get a move on if we want to avoid the bandits," Jacob said.
"Actually, there hasn't been bandits around these parts for centuries."
"It seems I've been reawakened at the right time. I have so much to learn about this time period."
"You sure do," Josh said before he led Jacob to the door.
"Wait. What about your father and your friend," Jacob asked, referring to Rocket and Manik.
"Did you want to come with us?"
"Sure. I got nothing better to do now that my girlfriend's been possessed by a pirate," Rocket said.
"I promise I'll leave the fair lass after we find my treasure."
"Then count me in."
"And me," Manik said.
"Then let's go. We have a treasure to find," Josh said before he, Jacob, Rocket, and Manik left the room and started the hunt for Jacob's legendary treasure.
