Thunder: There are things to say, and words that must be spoken, but the only ones I can really say are these...

Lets start the chapter.

Chapter 17

Silently, the trio landed their 'borrowed' ship and sneaked into the back way of Thunder's house. Danny was the first to come through the back door, then Stitch, then Thunder, with a little help from Stitch, made it halfway back in.

"I need a ladder for this thing." Thunder grumbled as she tried to bring herself up and out the door. Once he was through, Danny ran over to the rock where Chel was supposed to be lying and held out the newly retrieved map.

"Sunny!" he said, as he went to the rock. "Sunny wake up!" he stopped at the rock, a large shadow covering it. "I got the map." Then a large clawed hand reached out to take the map. Dragon claws.

"Fine work, Daniel." Chase said, sitting up into the light to see the map. "Fine work, indeed." He snickered as Danny looked around Thunder's house, fear plain on his face. He was then able to see Chel and Sunny tied up with their mouths gagged being held by some of Chase's remaining crew. From out of the shadows came more to surround Danny.

"Thanks for showing us the way in, guy." Number 88 growled. All of them then tackled Danny and held him tight. Stitch tried to help and bit Yzma's leg.

"Aah!" She yelled, before turning around to punch Stitch across the room. Thunder shrank in her door, but didn't notice Frenzy behind her.

"What's this yyyellow long eared thing?!" He grabbed Thunder's ears and pulled her up, one of his shurikens hovering over her neck.

"Not the face!" she whimpered, trying to shrink away from the pointy weapon. Walking up to Danny while holding his 'prize' Chase gave and evil grin.

"You're just like me, Daniel. You hate to lose." he said. Still looking at Danny, she tried to move the maps parts, but it wouldn't budge. He then turned his attention and frustration on the map. He made it float in the air while dark magic encompassed it, but even then, it didn't open. He turned his arm into its dragon form, and struggled to open it that way.

"What the Dashi is..." He said, his voice straining before looking down at a smirking Danny. He knew how to open the map and was quite pleased Chase couldn't get it. Chase held the map out to him.

"Open it." He commanded. The pirates released Danny as he scowled at Chase while taking the map. "I'd get busy." Chase held a black orb in his hand, pointing it at Chel and Sunny. Danny looked at them and saw Chel shaking her head no, and Sunny nodding his head yes before shaking his head no. But Danny didn't have a choice. Keeping his scowl and not looking away from Chase. It opened up and a shining picture of Treasure planet above them all.

"Oh, the shen gong wu powers, look at this." Chase said in awe. The picture dissolved into what was like a shining green trail. Chase let out a chuckle as he went to the doorway to look where the trail led. Then he glanced back at their prisoners, mainly Danny.

"Tie him up and leave him with the others till we--what?" Before Chase could finish his command, the trail dissolved and receded back to the map. Danny looked down at the map before looking up at Chase.

"You want the map, you're taking me, too." he said.

"Hmm." Chase grumbled, shaking his head and letting out a low chuckle that was almost like a growl. "We'll take 'em all."

Danny reopened the map and the band of pirates quickly hopped aboard their boat to chase after the trail. Jewel Sparrow kept staring at Thunder like she'd seen her before but just didn't know where.

"Hmm, have we met before?" Jewel asked Thunder

"Um, no. I don't think so." Thunder said

"You sure?" Jewel asked

"Yeah. I don't remember a lot of things, so if I knew you before I lost my mind... Sorry." Thunder said. The boat stopped. Chel and Sunny were left behind with Zim to watch over them. Stitch crawled up on Danny's shoulder and began to quiver in fear a bit.

"It's OK, Stitch. It's OK." Danny said, patting him on the head as the continued walking to where the lights led.

"Danny, I-- I really don't know about you, but I'm starting to see my life pass in front of my eyes. At least, I think it's my life. Is it? Was I ever dancing with a fat guy named Barney?!" Thunder said, yelling the last part, while holding her head.

"Thunder, shh." Danny said, trying to calm his friend down a bit, looking at the leader of the group, Chase. "This isn't over yet."

"We're gettin' close! I smell treasure waiting." Chase yelled, bringing out his dragon claws to slash through some undergrowth. Then there was a collective group 'Huh?' when they all saw the light end on an empty cliff.

"Where is it?" Chase said, asking the million dollar question.

"l ssssee nothing! One great, bibibig stinking hunk of nnnnothing!" Frenzy shrieked. Then the light all flew into Danny's map.

"What's going on, Daniel?" Chase asked in an almost growl. Danny kept pressing on the map, trying to spin it to make it open up again.

"l don't know." Danny said, straining to get the map to open up again. "l can't get it open."

"We should've never followed this boy!" Jewel said, pushing Danny down to the ground.

"Hey!" He yelled as he fell. Then he noticed something on the ground. It was a hole. Brushing away the moss that covered it the small hole had markings just like the map.

"I suggest you get that thing going again and fast!" Chase said, his arms becoming dragon arms while the rest of the crew pulled out their weapons.

"Let's rip his gizzard right out right now!" Number 88 said

"Ew! Now way! Rip out his spleen!" Number 89 said

"Yeah, that's even better!" Number 88 agreed

"Throw him off the cliff!" Yzma yelled. Danny then put the map into the little hole. the entire cliff lit up for a moment, revealing more markings like the maps. a large glowing orb then glowed on the ground but was then lifted up by more lights. Then from the corners of the canyon below came more lights coming up to the cliff. They were raised high above everyone and then opened into a triangle with an image of an island with a pirate ship in front of it coming on it.

"Oh, great whodai." Chase said

"Neverland Nebula?" Danny said

"But that's... halfway across the galaxy." Chase said. Danny looked down at the orb and saw it was like 3-D globe with all sorts of planets on it. He then pressed on one making it 'close' and 'reopen' to a desert landscape.

"A big door opening and closing." he said, remembering what Thunder said. He pressed on another one and saw a beach with crystal clear water. He pressed on another to show a dark island with one little facility on it.

"Let's see. Naboo." He pointed to the planet of Naboo and finally found what he was looking for. "Toontressor spaceport. So that's how Voldemort did it. He used this portal to roam the universe stealing treasure." Danny was quite excited and as he spoke he kept pressing random planets.

"But where'd he stow it all?!" Chase almost yelled, pushing Danny out of the way. He started pressing on numerous plants to see if there was any sign at all of the elusive trove of treasure.

"Where's-" press, "that-" press, "blasted-" press, "treasure?!" Chase was looking like he was about to kill somebody. Danny looked over at Thunder and saw all of this stuff triggered something.

"Treasure?!" Thunder said, putting her hands to her head. "Treasure! It's buried in the--" She started pulling her hair to try to remember when Danny realized what she meant.

"Buried in the centroid of the mechanism. What if the whole planet is the mechanism and the treasure is buried in the center of this planet?" Danny shouted, getting it. Everyone looked at him for a moment and then began clawing at the metal ground around him. Somebody raised a pick and brought it down, only to have the end become dented.

"And just how are we supposed to get there?" Chase asked, pressing on other planets. Danny looked at the globe thing and lightly pushed Chase aside.

"Just open the right door." he said, pressing on treasure planet. It showed a large pipe in what was like a copper domed room. Danny reached out and put his hand in then went in all the way. Chase grabbed his shoulder to stop him from going anywhere and came in his-self. Little did he or anybody know that they walked through a little red beam. Everyone continued walking on the large platform until they reached the edge. Ever single pair of eyes grew wide and all those who the eyes were attached to gasped. Then they all, except Danny, Thunder, and Chase, broke out into cheers and ran forward off the platform.

"The loot of a thousand worlds." Chase gasped, looking at all the treasure around them. It was practically a small planet's worth of treasure of all kinds, and it was theirs for the taking.

"We are ggggoing to need a bibibibigger boat!!" Frenzy yelled, swimming in the treasure.

Thunder: And we finally find the treasure! Yay, woo! Review please.
