Jim and I
I don't own Treasure Planet but I do know the name of the man who does own it and it is Mr. Robert Stevenson. By the way this will go like the movie except a few changes will be in it. I got the idea from another writer but it's not going to be the same.
Chapter 9: Bargaining For the Map and Sneaking Back on Ship
"Pardon the mess people, you'd think in a hundred years I would've dusted a little more often" states B.E.N.
I sigh and look around as Delbert brings in Amelia, looking over at Jim and Morph I sigh again as I sit down.
"But you know when you're bachelor, it you tend to let things go, ah isn't that sweet. I find old fashion romance so touching, don't you?" asks B.E.N.
"I do" I say watching as Delbert put Amelia down gently.
"How about drinks for the happy couple?" asks B.E.N.
"Oh ah no thank you, we don't drink" says Delbert taking off his coat "and ah we're not a couple." Amelia looks up at him and smiles. "Look at these marking, they are identical to the ones on the map. I suspect these are the hieroglyphic remnants of an ancient culture" states Delbert looking around as he covers up the awkwardness he must feel towards Amelia right now.
"Mr. Hawkins, Mr. Sons stop anyone who tries to approach" commands Amelia still in pain.
Delbert puts his coat under Amelia's head as a pillow he says "yes, yes now listen to me, stop giving order for a few millio seconds and lie still."
"Very force full Doctor, go on say something else" states Amelia as pain laces her voice.
I turn away to see B.E.N. looking out the big door way.
"Hey look, there's some more of your buddies, HEY FELLLAS, WE'RE OVER HER FELLAS" yells B.E.N.
The pirates start to fire on us, we fire back hoping not to get shot, and we hear Silver call out.
"Stop wasting your fire. Hello up there Jimbo, Mars. If ah it's alright with the captain I'd like a short word with ya, no tricks just a little palaver"
We both look at Amelia hoping she'd say something about it.
"Come to bargain for the map, doubtless! Pestilential" Amelia tries to get up.
"Captain" commands Delbert.
"That means" I start.
"He thinks we still have it" finishes Jim.
We both head out toward Silver to see what he wants.
"Ah, Morphy! I wondered where you was off to" Silver says as he sits down. "Oh, this poor old legs downright snarky since that game attack we had in the galley haha" starts Silver.
We just look at him with a mad expression each.
"Whatever you both heard back there, at least the part concerning both of you, I didn't mean a word of it. Had that blood thirsty lot had thought I'd gone soft, they'd of gutted us all" continues Silver.
"Listen to me. If we play our cards right…we can all three walk away from this rich as kings" finishes Silver.
"Yeah?" says Jim.
"Sound nice" I state.
"You two get me that map…and uh… an even portion of the treasure goes to you both" Silver states sticking out both hands for us to shake on.
"Boy. You are really something. All that talk of greatness…light coming off my sails… what a joke" says Jim.
"Now see here Jimbo, Mars" stutters out Silver.
"At least you taught us one thing, stick to it" says Jim.
"Right, that's just what we are going to do, we are going to make sure you don't see one drabloon of our treasure" I state as we circle him.
"That treasure is owed me by thunder" shouts Silver getting up.
"Well try to find it without our map by thunder" we both shout back.
"Oh, you two still don't know how to pick your fights, do ya boys? Now mark me either I get that map by dawn tomorra or so help me… I'll use the ship's cannoncs to blast you all to kingdom come. Motph hop to it, NOW!" shouts Silver to us both as he turns to leave.
We all leave back to our places, Jim and I to B.E.N.'s home.
"Gentlemen, we must stay together and, and" starts Amelia.
"And what, what, we must stay together and what" shouts Delbert for no real reason.
"Doctor you have wonderful eyes" says Amelia.
"She's lost her mind" states Delbert.
"Well you gotta help her" state Jim going up to the two.
"Dang it Jim, I'm an astronomer not a doctor. I mean I am a doctor but I'm not that kind of doctor. I have a doctrine, it's not the same thing, you can't help people with a doctrine, you just sit there and you're useless" heaves out Delbert.
"It's ok Doc" I say.
"It'll be alright" speaks Jim.
We both are at a lost as to what to do at this point in time.
"Yeah Doc. Jimmy knows exactly how to get out of things, it's just, it's just Jimmy has this knowledge of things. Jim any thoughts" B.E.N. whispers the last part to Jim.
Jim and I look up at the ship, to where the map is. I look over at him, hoping he has a plan to get us out of here alive. I'm just a mechanic, I like to fix things up, that is all, so me coming up with a plan is like trying to say that I'm a planet.
"Without the map, we're dead, if we try to leave, we're dead, if we stay here--" states Jim being cut off by Morph.
"We're dead, we're dead, we're dead, we're dead" repeats Morph.
"Well I think that Jimmy could use a little quiet time heh, so I'll just slip out the back door" states B.E.N. opening a door up.
"Backdoor" I say hopefully.
Jim and I go over to where B.E.N. is standing.
"Oh yeah, I get a delightful breeze through here, which I think is important because ventilation among friends" states B.E.N.
"What is all this stuff?" asks Jim as we both look down to see something amazing.
"You mean the miles and miles of machinery that runs through the entire course of the inside of this planet, not a clue" answers B.E.N.
"Hey Doc. Doc. I think I found a way out of here" states Jim.
"No, no Jim wait the captain ordered us to stay" starts Delbert.
"We'll be back" Jim says we jump into the hole.
"Cannon Ball" shouts B.E.N.
As we climb through the machinery I look at the mechanism with fascination, all this makes up a planet that has plants grow on it. I am amazed, I think about everything that has happened to us so far. I know Jim doesn't feel the same way I do for him but at least we will make it out of here alive.
I look ahead at him as he follows B.E.N. around down here, I wonder what he is thinking about right now. He looks back at me and actually smiles, I really need to know if he loves me or not. B.E.N. lets us know that we are near the exit out of here. I wish I could stay longer, Jim and I peek out to see all the pirates sleeping, we hope we don't disturb them when B.E.N. appears.
"So what's the plan?" asks B.E.N. using his regular voice.
"Shh B.E.N. quiet" Jim and I say at the same time trying to keep his mouth shut.
"Ok here it is, we sneak back to the Legacy, disable the laser cannons and bring back the map" whispers Jim.
"That's a good plan, I like that plan. Only one thing I'm wondering is how do we get there?" asks B.E.N.
"On that" I say pointing at the small long boat.
B.E.N., Jim and I get on the small long boat, untying it we go very slowly away from the sleeping pirates. Very slowly we ascend up to the Legacy, hoping not to make a sound, so not to alert the ones that are on the ship.
After docking the long boat next to the ship, we peer over to see if any of the pirates are on the deck. We see that no one is there, so we climb over, B.E.N. crashing to the ground making the most noise, Jim says B.E.N. as we both look at him. We get to our feet, and climb down the stairs to the engine room is, so we can get to the long boat bay.
"Ok, I'll get the map you wait here" states Jim.
"Roger Jimmy, I'll neutralize cannons sir" says B.E.N.
"No wait no B.E.N." starts Jim but B.E.N. is already gone, singing his own pirate song.
"I'll go after him to make sure he doesn't do anything stupid ok" I sigh going after B.E.N.
"Disable a few laser cannons, what is the big deal, all we got to do is find that one little wire, oh mama" says B.E.N.
"It's a very big deal B.E.N. pulling the wrong one can cause a very wrong effect that we don't want" I say coming up next to him.
Third Person's Point of View
Jim creeps down to the docking of the small long boats to the ropes where Morph left the map, finding it.
"Yes" he says picking it up and the alarms start to go off.
Marius' Point of View
"B.E.N. you idiot that is the alarm on the ship, plug it back in" I say to him.
"Bad B.E.N., bad, fixing" he says putting it back in and I sigh.
Third Person's Point of View
"That stupid robot is gonna get us all…killed" says Him stopping.
"Cabin boy" smiles Scroop coming after Jim.
Jim runs away from him as Scroop is on his tail, Morph turns into pie which hits Scroop in the face. Scroop growls as he pulls Morph off of his face, Morph gets thrown into a duct, flying away from Scroop.
Jim gets the gun ready from his hiding spot and comes out pointing the gun at Scroop, Scroop stops but the lights go out and nobody can see a thing.
Marius' Point of View
"B.E.N. you idiot turn the lights back on" I shout at him.
"OK whoops, don't panic. Breathing in and breathing out…" states B.E.N. as he plugs it back in.
Third Person's Point of View
Lights turn back on but Scroop is not in front of Jim like he had been before. Jim looks around him but Scroop starts to come down from the ceiling. Morph comes out of a duct coughing, he sees Scroop and pokes him in the eyes and goes back into the ducts.
Scroop lashes out and knocks Jim back; Jim loses his hold on the gun and tries to reach for it. Scroop comes down and attacks Jim, not giving him a chance t get the gun.
Marius' Point of View
'This has gotta be cannons, maybe not" says B.E.N. at the last part we float into the air.
"B.E.N. that's is it, I'm taking over as soon as you plug that thing back in. Got it" I shout at B.E.N. again.
Third Person's Point of View
Jim tarts to float up along with Scroop and the gun, Jim kicks Scroop and he flies out of the place as Jim tries to grab onto something to stop himself from going even further up.
Oh my god, it is almost done and this part as hard to get down on paper and to type up, I hope you liked it. Review Please
