Ekari: Time for the double ones!!!
TBP: Eleventh chapther in the house!!! Oh, and what Megan is singing is a part from I don't dance from HSM2. Now to the next chapter!
Chapter 11
The cages were swinging like pendulums as the people inside them were trying to reach for the vines on the canyon walls.
"Hey pirate pirate pirates, hey pirates pirates swing!" Megan sang from the cliff above them. "You've got to just do your thing!"
"You could help out by getting in here and singing with us instead of freaking the others out you know!!" Emily yelled. Because not only were they swinging because of Will's idea, but because of Megan's echos. The crew think the canyon was haunted and wanted to get out as soon as possible.
"You're almost there!!!" Megan yelled. They swung one more time, and finally got the vines!
"Put your legs through and start to climb." Gibbs said. Everybody in both cages did as the first mate said.
"Come on men!" Will said
"Ahem!" Emily said
"And Emily, we'll need everyone to crew the Black Pearl!" Will said
"Actually, you wouldn't need everybody! 'Bout six would do!" Leech said. Everybody stopped and those in one cage looked at eachother in the other cage.
"Oh dear." Leech said. Will and Emily looked at Gibbs who gave a thoughtful nod.
"Wait, what does that mean?" Emily asked
"HURRY!" Will shouted before him and everybody else in their cage started climbing up the vines like their lives depended on it. (Thunder: Actually, it does. Ekari: I thought we stopped this. Thunder: Nope!)
"I don't get it. Megan!" Emily said, calling up to her friend. "What's the point?"
"You only need one. You can lose the other!" Megan yelled, her voice reverberating off the walls. Gibbs starting climbing faster when he heard the voice. While they were still climbing, a little boy was crossing the bridge.
"Wait stop!" Will whispered urgently. Everybody in both cages stopped as the boy was crossing the bridge.
"I got a bad feeling about this." Emily said. Just as she said that, the crew in the other cage began climbing up the vines slowly and silently.
"Stop!" Will shispered
"Uh oh." Megan said before snapping her fingers to appear at the front of the bonecage. She slunk her hand down with the vines and grabbed somebodies hand. When they saw her, she gave a develish smirk.
"Boo." she said. The man freaked out and said the first thing that came to mind as he absentmindly did pick up the snake.
"Snake!" he yelled. Everybody else in the cage panicked and dropped their vines. Megan quickly snapped her fingers to go back to the cliff as the cage fell. The boy on th bridge watched as the rope snapped, sending the mutinous men to the bottom of the canyon.
"I'd be scared too if Megan popped up in front of me." Emily said
"I heard that!" Megan shouted down to them. Then they noticed something, the boy crossing the bridge knew they were trying to escape, and then he ran the rest of the way across it to the village.
"Move!" Will and Emily said simultaneously
JJJJ
"So, this is how it ends for me." Janice said. "Being roasted alive without a last phone call." A guy who had a lit torch came running across the bridge and stopped just in front of the wood pile.
"AHH, Fie fie!" he yelled. The tribe repeated what he said, before he slowly began to lower the flame to the wood.
"Good bye cruel world!!!" Janice yelled to the sky.
"Lias so so!" the boy who crossed the bridge said running into the village, stopping the fire guy from lowering the flame any lower. "Lagmento so! Eva cam cam sey sey?" Everybody then turned to look at the God and Nymph.
"Uh... What?" Janice asked. Jack looked at everybody.
"...Well go on, go get them! Pelala!" he said. The tribe repeated pelala before all running away. The fire guy dropping the flame by the wood.
"Wait. Hold on. Oi! No no!" Jack said as the Pelegostos left.
"Jack? What's wrong?" Janice asked, craning her neck around to try to get a look below her.
"Nothing luv!" he said. "Not good." He was blowing at the fire to try to blow it out. Unfortunately, the blowing was creating cinders that were blowing to the wood. Then the wood caught fire and Jack was blowing on it faster then before.
"Okay," Janice said, "either you're having an asthma attack, ran a mile, or are trying to blow something out with all that fast breathing you're doing."
EEEEMMMM
"HEAVE!" Marty said as they reached the cliff. They were all pulling the vines to get over it. Even Megan grabbed the bone cage and pulled. Then to the delight of everybody, and the humor of Emily when the cage rolled over Megan, they got over the cliff and were on solid ground.
"I'm so glad I couldn't feel that." Megan said, referring to the cage.
"Cut it loose!" Will said, referring to the rope that was tied to the cage. "Find a rock!"
"Yeah, I'll be going now." Megan said
"No wait!" Emily said, but when she spoke, Megan was already gone. "Dang! Could've used her sword."
JJJJ
"Boingy boingy boingy boingy!" Janice said as she was bouncing up and down while Jack was trying to blow out the fire.(Thunder: Trying, and failing.) Then all the bouncing caused the stick to fly off of the spickets and cause them to fall on the ground. Unfortunately, that meant Jack landed on his back, which meant he landed on a groaning Janice.
"Okay, that hurt. A lot I might add." she said. Jack rolled over so they were on their sides and pulled at the ropes. There was a little snap and their legs were freed. Then Jack rolled over to get on his feet and just ran with Janice srill tied to his back.
EEEE
Finally finding a rock and using it to break the rope, their cage was free to leave the cliff, and just in time. The Pelegostos were coming.
"Oh snap." Emily said
"Roll the cage!" Will said. Everybody worked together pushing on the front to make it roll away.
"Roll? Oh, this isn't gonna end well." Emily said. Then they began going downhill, losing control of the rolling ball. They all clung to the sides and screamed their heads of as it rolled and rolled and rolled.
"I'm gonna be sick!" Emily said when they were airborn. The cage then rolled up a palm tree then fell back to the ground with a mighty thud.
"Somebody stop the spinning." Emily mumbled. They looked behind them to see the Pelegostos still chasing them.
"Oh come on! Don't they take a break?!" Emily yelled, annoyed.(Ekari: No duh!)
"Lift the cage!" Will yelled
"Lift it like a ladies skirt!" Gibbs said. The crew got up from where they landed and put their legs through the bones before lifting it up and scurrying away.
"Come on!" Gibbs said
JJJJ
"Come on Jack! Run faster!" Janice said
"I'm trying!" Jack yelled back. "Would like to take my place luv?" Janice was silent.
"No thanks, I'm good." she said
Jack, with Janice still attached to his back, ran across a bridge and into the little village where he got caught before. He walked and then stopped, his arms coming free. Then he started pulling at the ropes around his chest.
"Jack, we are not alone." Janice said looking to her left, which would be Jack's right. Then he saw a little boy holding a knife, cocking his head to the side. Jack smiled sheepishly before going up to the boy and snatching the knife away. The boy then ran away, while Jack began sawing at the ropes. It was then he did look up and find two women carrying baskets of fruit.
"AAAAAAHHH!!!" he yelled as he ran at them. He ran past them and got the end of the stick stuck on a coconut.
"What was that all about?" Janice asked
"Nothing." Jack said, an idea coming to him. He swung around and sent to coconut flying, right into one of the women's face. She caught it before it smacked her in the face. She lowered it with a deadly expression on her face.
Unbeknownst to any of them, the boy wasn't the one Janice was talking about, what Janice saw was a silent Megan who was sitting on the ground the whole time cleaning her fingernails with her other fingernails. She looked up when the coconut almost hit the woman.
"Oh, you're in for it now." she said
