Hi! We're getting closer to the end of the story. I know you're excited. I'm gonna be attending a birthday/costume party this Friday (I think) so you might not see the next chapter until the weekend. But there's still more to come. Anyways, this chapter is where the guys try to hit Jake over the head with the silver stick. The outcome... is not pretty. So sit back... and enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own Jake and the Never Land Pirates. They belong to Disney Junior.

Chapter 7: Operation: Silver

First try

"So. How are we gonna do this?"

Izzy, Cubby, and Peter were watching Jake from afar. The pirate leader was looking in a small flower bush. It was unknown to why, but he was at the perfect target to be hit. But the real problem was, how were they going to do it withour him noticing.

"We just sneak up behind him and hit him. Simple as that." Peter whispered.

"But he might see us." Izzy pointed out. Peter gave her an assuring smile. "Don't worry, Iz. We'll be very quiet." With that, Peter, holding the stick, floated carefully over to Jake. The boy still didn't notice. Peter stood behind the boy, trying to find a good spot on Jake head to strike. When he thought he had the perfect target, he raised the stick, stepping back a few feet so he wasn't too close to Jake.

But, as he did so, he stepped into a hole. Peter yelped and fell over, dropping the stick... right on Jake's head.

"OW!"

Jake fell into the bush, along with the stick. When Peter recovered, he realized what happened and grabbed the stick, just as Jake recovered to. And boy was he angry. "What was thatall about?!" Jake demanded, getting up from the bush and rubbing his head. Peter gulped and hid the stick behind his back. "Oh... uh... sorry about that, Jake. I, uh... tripped, and this stick fell out of my hands." he tried to explain. Jake snarled and grabbed Peter by his shirt collar. "Dont. Let. it. Happen. Again." he warned.

Peter nodded quickly, and Jake let him go. "Good!" Was all Jake said before leaving. Peter was relieved that Jake didn't rip his head off. But it seemed that the first attempt to cure Jake didn't work. Why? Did Peter not hit him hard enough? Then again, him tripping in the hole caused him to drop it accidentally, so it wasn't how it wasn't suppose to go.

"Peter! Are you okay?" Izzy asked as she and Cubby walked over to him. Peter frowned. "I'm okay, but Jake's not. He's still under the curse of the werewolf. We'll have to try again. But harder."

Second try

Izzy watched Jake carefully inside the hideout. He was trying to pick out a book to read. The pirate girl held the stick firmly as she crept up behind him. She carefully raised the stick, and was planning on swinging it across his head. But, Jake had dropped a book and bent over to pick it up, just as Izzy swung... and missed. Uponing missing the target, she dropped the stick, it making a sound when it hit the floor.

Jake had heard the sound, and turned to see Izzy reaching for the stick. "What are you doing?" He asked, somewhat annoyed. Izzy giggled nervously. "I... uh... I dropped this..." she tried to explain. Jake eyed her suspiciously, but shrugged it off, resuming his search for a book to read. Izzy sighed in relief, and quickly left the room. Peter was waiting for her.

"Did you hit him?" He asked.

She shook her head. "I missed. And he almost noticed."

Peter sighed, and took the stick. "It looks like we'll have to try even harder.

Third try

Cubby, using Izzy's pixie dust, floated behind Jake as he walked down the hall, a book tucked under his arm. Cubby was scared to death about doing this, fearing that Jake will be even more angry if he got hit, but the small pirate knew it had to be done. He gripped the stick as he raised it.

With that, he brought it down...

... and missed. Thank goodness Jake didn't notice. Cubby tried again, but once again missed. "Aw coconuts." He whispered with frustration. Now, that was a mistake, as Jake heard that. The boy whipped around to see his younger friend floating to the floor, still holding the stick. Jake glared. "What were you doing behind my back?" He asked. Cubby whimpered. "N-N-Nothing, Jake. N-N-N-N-Nothing a-at a-all." He stuttering. Although Jake didn't believe, he just huffed. "Whatever you say, Cubby. Whatever you say..." was all he said before continuing down the hall.

Cubby ran the other way, where Peter was once again waiting for him. "Let me guess you didn't hit him either?" Peter guess. Cubby nodded. "I'm sorry. But he almost noticed." was the small childs short explanation. Peter groaned. It was clear to the real reason why Izzy nor Cubby had hit Jake... they couldn't. He was their friend, and they couldn't bring themselves to harm him, despite how he has been acting lately.

And as Peter hated to admit it... he felt as if he couldn't hit Jake either... but it had to be done.

Fourth try

Peter looked into a room, where Jake has reading his book sitting at a table. His back was turned, so Peter had the perfect chance to strike him. Floating carefully behing the boy, he raised the stick. I'm sorry Jake, but this is for your own good. Peter thought as he brought the stick down.

But missed as Jake swifty moved from his seat, causing Peter to hit the chair instead. Jake gave Peter a death stare. "What the freak are you doing?!" Jake demanded. Peter didn't even back away this time, or hide the stick behind his back... no... he just stood there... looking brave. "You wanna know what I'm going..." Peter started. "I'll tell you what I'm doing... I'm getting you back to normal."

"What do you mean?!" Jake demanded once again, growling. Peter glared back at him. "Haven't you notice? You're out of control! Ever since you've been bitten by the Legendary Never Land Werewolf, you've been different. You're being cruel to your friends, you've hurt people, you've said cold things, and worse... everynight... you turn into a werewolf. And it won't be long until you become a full fledged... a follower of the Never Land werewolf... so that's why I have to hit you in the head with this stick... it's one of three options we have to cure you..."

Peter was hoping that would knock some sense into Jake, hoping he would understand the situation he was in... but Jake did something else.

He laughed.

"Oh please!" Jake snarled. "A werewolf? You've gotta be kidding me! There are no wolves in Never Land... and if there were, it would've been dead by now. And what did I tell you, Pan... I like the way I am right now... and I'm never going back to the way I was before... and I told you not to let that stupid stick hit me... you never listen, ha ha ha. And it looks like I'll have to hurt you since you tried to hurt me!"

With that, Jake lunged at Peter, who moved out of the way. Jake landed to the floor. He growled and charged at Peter once again, only to miss once again. Peter was starting to hesitate, until he looked at the door, and had an idea. "Hey Jake! I bet you can't catch me!" Peter called as he flew out the door. Jake growled again and with super speed, ran out the door...

But he didn't see Peter at all.

All he saw was Izzy and Cubby standing at the door.

"Where is Peter-"

WHACK!

Before Jake could fully finish his sentence, Peter, floating from above, struck him as hard as he could on the head. Jake fell to the floor with a loud thud, but was still awake. Izzy and Cubby looked at their friend with worry. Did it work? Peter floated to the floor, just as Jake started to rub his head.

"Jake... how do you feel...?" Peter asked. Jake sat up and look at Peter... smiling... could this be a sign that it worked?

"You wanna know how I feel?" Jake asked. Peter, along with Izzy and Cubby, nodded eagerly. Jake chuckled, and spoke again. "I'll tell you how I feel... I feel pretty freaking pissed!"he snapped, now growing serious. He got up, and snatched the stick away from Peter. "I've already warned you before, Peter. Now I'm gonna hurt you twice as hard.

With that, Jake whacked Peter in the face with the stick, sending Peter crashing down to the floor. Jake then proceeded to beat his friend with the stick over and over. Izzy and Cubby watched with terror. Jake was still under the curse of the werewolf. How did it not work this time? How? Soon, Jake stopped his assualt on Peter... but he wasn't exactly done...

He dropped the stick, grabbed Peter by his shirt collar, and pushed him up against the wall... next to the door.

"You better stay out of my way, Pan..." Jake growled. "Or you're dead... Halloween is coming... and I don't mind scaring the life out of you..."

With that, Jake let go of Peter. The redhead was about to sigh with relief, until Jake took hold of the door, and slammed it onto Peter... extremely hard. There was a muffled scream of pain behind the door. "Peter!" Izzy and Cubby both exclaimed in unison. "Well, that's enough of that." Jake said with satifaction. He was about to leave until he noticed the stick on the floor.

"And as for this thing..."

SNAP!

Jake broke the thing in half. Izzy gasped in shock. Blake was definitely not gonna be happy when he sees the stick. The twelve-year-old gave the eleven-year-old the two halfs and stormed back inside his room to continue his reading. Doing so, his slammed the door shut, to reveal Peter with a bruised face, and bloody nose. The fly boy sunk to the ground, when Cubby went to his aid. "Are you okay?" the eight-year-old asked his fifteen-year-old friend.

Peter looked at him with a weak smile. "I... I'll be alright..."

Skully and Tinker Bell flew in to see what had happened. "Crackers! What happened to Peter?" Skully asked.

"Uh... Jake happened..." Izzy answered.

Tink glowed red with anger. Jake had hurt her friend, and he was gonna pay (In her opinion). 'Where is Jake?' She demanded, and Peter understood her perfectly. "He's in this room right here... but I wouldn't go in there if I were you, Tink." Tinker Bell was about to argue back until she remembered when Jake smacked her to the ground. It was a painful memory, and she did not want to go through that again. She huffed in defeat, and Peter grinned. Thanks for not trying to kill him. He thought as he stood up.

"Well guys... Option Two didn't work. Option One is still out. So Option Three is the only option we've got. And we've got to hurry. Jake is right. Halloween isn't far away, and we've gotta find out how to make a special drink."

"But wait? Silver kills werewolves. So won't the silver in the special drink kill Jake if he drinks it?" Izzy asked.

"You have a point, Iz." Peter agreed. "So maybe this special drink may help Jake without the silver in it. But... I have another idea."

The others listened to Peter carefully.

"I actually read something about the Never Land werewolf... and from what I can remember, on Halloween night, the werewolf, along with it's followers, come out to feed. So, we might actually see this guy."

"I just remembered." Cubby spoke up. "We're having a Halloween party on Never Land that night. If Jake is a werewolf then... and if we see the Never Land werewolf... who knows what kind a chaos could happen?"

Peter had realized that Cubby was right. Earlier in October, Peter had planned a Halloween party on Never Land, and had invited everybody, even Captain Hook and the Dark Pirates. But now it seemed that the fun and festivities was gonna be bashed with all this werewolf stuff happening. After a moment of thinking, Peter spoke with a solution.

"So... if we wanna help Jake... we gotta kill the beast who made him this way... on Halloween."

Well, hitting Jake in the head didn't work, so they have to go back to making a special drink. But they may have to do it on Halloween night. Do you think they can actually kill the werewolf, and do you think it can help Jake? Find out on either Friday or Saturday. Because the next two chapters will be like a story arc. I'll see you guys later. And don't forget to review, please. Thank you.
