Thunder: Darn you school and your hated ability of keeping me away from typing up chapters to my fics!! Well, here's the next one any way. Enjoy!
Chapter 18
While the pirates looked at the treasure with nothing but greed, Danny was trying to think of a way away from all the pirates, while Thunder was having a strange feeling of deja vue.
"Hmm..." Thunder said. "This is all seeming very familiar, but I can't..." Danny saw their method of escape: An old ship. "Just can't remember why. Either that, or the food at my house has gone bad and I'm getting indigestion."
"Thunder, come on." Danny said, nudging Thunder with his arm while passing her. "We're getting out of here, and we're not leaving empty-handed."
"But-- But, Danny boy! Danny!" Thunder said in a hushed warning tone. She had a bad feeling about this place. Very bad.
Meanwhile, Chase collapsed in the treasure, overjoyed with the gold and jewels in front of him.
"A lifetime of searching. And at long last..." He reached out and grabbed a bunch of gold with his dragon claws and held it to his face. "I can touch it."
"Do you know what's strange?" Thunder said as they approached the ship. Stitch crawled up into it and waited at the railing for Danny who was now helping Thunder get up onboard too. "I can't tell you how frustrating this is, Danny cause there's something just-- it's nagging at the back of my mind." Thunder almost all the way on, but then fell forward and screamed at what she saw. "SWEET CHOCOLATE COVERED MONKEY BUTTS!!"
"Aki taba!" Stitch yelled, noticing it too.
"Captain Voldemort?" Danny asked in shock. Thunder got to her feet and couldn't help but cringe the the sight in front of her.
"In the flesh!" she said. "Well, s-sort of, except for skin, organs, or anything that--that--that resembles flesh. That's not there." True to her word, Danny, Stitch, and Thunder were all staring at a corpse of the former great pirate captain, sitting on a throne. Danny got closer to examine the corpse to see if there was a clue to Thunder's missing memory.
"And yet... it's so odd, you know?" Thunder continued. "I remember there was something horrible Voldemort didn't want anyone else to know but--..." Danny saw something in one of Voldemort's hands. "I just can't remember what it was." Danny pulled it out and aw it was a bottle with a silvery substance inside it. "Oh, a mind is a terrible thing to lose!" Thunder started sobbing, when Danny turned the bottle around and saw her name on it.
"Thunder, I think I just found your mind. Hold still." Danny rushed over and scooped Thunder into a dip, as if they were dancing.
"Oh, Danny! This is so sudden." Thunder said. While she talked, Danny bit the cork of the bottle and pulled it off. "I honestly think it wouldn't work between us, me being older than you and a--" She was cut off when the opening of the bottle was jammed into Thunder's mouth. She got to her feet and started to spaz.
"HA! EEk! Doo! Whoa!" Thunder yelled. A light enveloped her then vanished as fast as it came. She spun around and seemed to be a new elf person... thingy. The faded colors on her clothes darkened to rich colors like they were brand new. Her skin seemed to be brighter. And her eyes, those green eyes, were now blue.
"Hello." she said, looking around as though in a daze. "You know, uh, Danny boy, l was just thinking..." then it came to her. "l was just think--" She held her head and spun around. "It's all flooding back! All my memories!" She stopped and looked at Danny in the eyes, a bright smile on her face. "Right up until Voldemort stole my memories so I could never tell anybody about his booby trap!"
"WHAT?!" Danny and Stitch yelled in unison. There was a crash above them and Thunder flinched, her smile gone. She looked up at the source of the explosion.
"Speaking of which..." she said. All over the treasure, the pirates stopped what they were doing to look up above them, giving 'Huh?'s and 'what is that?'s.
"Voldemort wanted to make sure that nobody could ever steal his treasure, so he rigged this whole planet to blow higher than a Rayquaza's territory!" Thunder said
"Rayquaza in Ozone!" Stitch said
"Exactly!" Thunder replied. A large device from above fell into the treasure and made a large split that grew larger and larger. Beams of light shot down in constant streams to fry whoever stayed behind after that crash.
"Run, Danny, run! Run for your life!" Thunder said, trying to move him.
"You go back and help the captain and Sunny!" Danny said running over to the controls for the ship. "If I'm not there in five minutes, leave without me." he lied down beneath a large console.
"I am not leaving my buddy Danny." Thunder said, pulling him out from under by his legs. He gave her a death glare while holding up to sparking wires.
"Unless he looks at me like that." Thunder said. "Bye, Dan!" Thunder jumped off the ship and before she hit the ground she flew up, her entire lower area becoming like a lightning tail where her legs were. She hovered for a moment looking down at her lightning tail.
"I can't believe I actually forgot how to do that!" she said, before flying out the entrance. Literally.
Thunder: Oh noes! Booby trap! Review please.
