Thunder: So, here we are. One more chapter before I make my grand appearance!

Chapter 12

Morning came upon the ship, trying to wake those in the crew's quarters. Trying, and failing. Danny laid in his hammock, Zix Zix above him. Then Zix Zix's hand fell out brushing against Danny's face. He slowly opened his eyes, and with a start fell out of his hammock. He rubbed his face and reached for one of his boots before slipping it on. He reached for the other, noticing a ball of blue pull it away. Danny rubbed his face and glared at the crates and barrels Stitch pulled his boot behind.

"Stitch." he said, crawling over and reaching behind the pile of stuff. "Come on Stitch, it's too early." Stitch sneakily crawled up behind Danny and using his boot, kicked him in the butt.

"Ow! Hey Stitch!" Danny said, turning around, a smile playing on his lips. Stitch blew a raspberry and laughed his evil laugh before running away, Danny quickly giving chase. Stitch dropped the boot on deck before hidding in a nearby barrel, pulling the lid on. Danny picked up the boot and looked at the barrel before the lid lifted to reveal Stitch who then gave Danny a big sloppy lick.

"That's it you blue koala!" Danny said, reaching to hit Stitch over the head with his boot, only to have the experiment run behind the barrel.

"Blue koala." Stitch mimiked, running out and around Danny. "Blue koala. Blue koala!" He then rolled into a ball, ricocheing himself off the railings and down into the galley. Danny ran down the steps into the galley and found... nothing. Thw hole of the place was empty, save for the usual kitchen stuff and a barrel of purps. He had to have gone in there. Danny walked up to the barrel and looked inside it.

Purp, purp, purp, blue purp, pur- wait a minute! Danny stared at the purp, until it opened to reveal a large black orb.

"Ha! Busted!" Danny said, jumping into the barrel and grabbing Stitch, while rubbing the blue ball of fuzz's coat. In the midst of their fun, Danny started hearing voices outside the barrel.

"there's only three of them left." he heard number 88 say.

"We are waiting to long!" 89 said. Danny looked through a knothole to see them, then he saw Chase's arm.

"We don't move until we have the treasure in our hands and claws." Chase said, as Ratchet came into view.

"I say we kill them all now." Ratchet said, his claws shining in the light. Chase grabbed Ratchet's tie with his dragon arm and brought him close.

"I say what's to say! Disobey my orders like that stunt you pulled with Zhiao, and so help me, you'll be joining him!" Chase threw Ratchet at Danny and Stitch's barrel, causing a small whimper from the evil experiment.

"Those are some pretty strong words from you , but I think it's only a facade." Ratchet said, getting up and reaching in the barrel for a purp. He kept reaching until Danny lifted a purp into his palm.

"What do you mean?" Chase asked

"It's that boy. Danny Fenton." Ratchet said

"It's Phantom." Chase said and Danny silently growled.

"Either way..." Ratchet said, examining the purp. "I think you've actually developed a soft..." he popped a soft part of the purp which caused juice to flow from the hole. "...spot for him." Everyone looked at Chase with shock. Was there brave, ruthless leader getting soft on them?

"Listen to me." Chase said, an energy of pure anger and hate surrounding him. "All of you. I only care about one thing, and one thing only: Voldemort's trove! You'd think I'd risk it all for some worthless halfa whelp with father issues?" Danny almost felt his heartbreaking when he heard those words.

"What was it again?" Ratchet asked. "'Oh, you have the makings of greatness in yah.'"

"Shut your yap!" Chase said, going whole dragon. While the rest of the crew backed away, Ratchet remained where he was sneering at the heylin.

"I only comforted and was kind to him to keep him off our trail." Chase said. "I have not gone soft, and I never will."

"LAND HO!!" They all heard. Filled with excitement, the whole pirate crew went up top deck. Chase quickly went to his human form. Danny just sat in the barrel, shocked and stunned. Shocked to hear they were going to mutiny, and stunned to hear the man who was actually nice to him, who was becoming a father figure to him, was lying like a rug to him to keep him off his scent. His grip loosened on Stitch who climbed out of the barrel to chase after Chase.

"Ha ha ha! Feast your eyes and click heels if you are able to!" Mojo said. Everyone jostled for a place at the railing to see what they've been searching for for years: Treasure Planet. Chase was so far back, he needed to get a better look at the planet. He reached into his pocket to find it empty.

"Where's my spyglass?" he asked himself
