John, along with Harry and Ron W, entered Ratcliffe's quarters.
"It's perfect Governor," John said. "The water's deep enough, we can pull right up to shore, hey there Percy."
John ruffled Percy's fur, which Percy did not look too happy about.
"Very well then," Ratcliffe said. "Give the order."
"Already done sir, I've got another crew assembled and we're all ready to go." John said.
John said 'another crew' because 'his crew' had previously volunteered to go ashore.
"About these Natives," Ratcliffe added. "I'm counting on you to make sure that those filthy heathens don't disrupt our mission."
Felicity had to grab Kirsten before she could say or do anything.
"Well if they're anything like the savages I've fought before," John said. "It's nothing I can't handle."
"Right, that'll be all Smith." Ratcliffe said.
"See you Percy." John said, ruffling his fur again.
Percy growled a growl of disapproval to himself.
A few settlers went to the edge of the ship. Harry and the others were already in a few rowboats, deciding to wait until John joined them.
"It's incredible." Lon said.
"And it's all ours," Thomas added. "I've never seen anything like it."
Ben came by with a rope ladder.
"It can look like Ratcliffe's knickers for all I care," He said, tossing the ladder so that they could climb down. "Just as long as I get off this stinkin' boat."
"Come on men," John said, climbing down the ladder. "We didn't come all this way just to look at it."
Ben, Lon, Thomas, and a few other settlers, joined John at the rowboat and they all rowed to shore. After landing their boats, the settlers pulled the ship onto land.
"All right now," Lon said. "Tie her off."
"Here John, tie off this end." Thomas said, throwing a bit of the rope behind him.
No one caught it.
"John?" Thomas looked behind him with confusion. "John! What are you doing up there?"
John and Harry were climbing a very large pile of rocks.
"Getting a better look." John said.
He and Harry stood on the fork in the tree – you know, where tree trunks branch off into two smaller trunks – and looked around. What they didn't know was that Pocahontas and I – and Flit and Meeko too – were in the bushes behind them. Meeko looked at us, and then walked up the cliff between the bushes and the tree. Pocahontas tried to grab him, but she missed. Flit then grabbed Meeko by a few tail hairs, but the hairs broke off, causing Flit to tumble back into the bushes and Meeko to bang into John's legs.
"Hey!" John cried, whipping out his dagger
He looked down saw Meeko grinning sheepishly so he put the dagger away.
"Well you're a strange looking fellow. Are you hungry?" John asked, pulling some food out of his pouch. "It's a biscuit, it's food, well...sort of."
Meeko approached the biscuit slowly.
"That's creature's called a raccoon." Harry said as Meeko took the biscuit.
"Really?" John said.
Then he noticed Meeko eating the biscuit quickly.
"You like it?" John said, holding out another biscuit. "Well try eating it for four months straight."
Meeko grabbed the biscuit, pointed at it, and smiled as he looked at us in the bushes. Pocahontas shrank back, trying to keep from being seen.
"You got a friend back there?" John asked.
He and Harry approached the bushes, and they were about to pull back the branches…when Flit suddenly flew out and zipped around them, attacking them with his beak.
Hey...! What...? Watch out...! Look out!" John and Harry cried, dodging Flit's attacks.
All of the dodging caused the rest of John's biscuits to fall out of his pouch, but Meeko took care of that by eating them.
"Geez!" Harry said, still dodging Flit. "I didn't know humming birds could be this feisty!"
"Humming bird?" John said. "I'd call this a 'roaring' bird!"
Then they heard Ron W barking, trying to get their attention.
"John!" Thomas called from below. "You better get down here, the governor's coming ashore!"
"All right! All right! We're leaving." John said to Flit.
Flit flew back into the bushes, looking very triumphant. Meeko, however, polished off the biscuits and looked in John and Harry's direction. He obviously now trusted them.
Back near the shore, Governor Ratcliffe held a British flag as he prepared a speech:
"I hereby claim this land, and all it's riches, for his majesty King James the First, and do so name this settlement 'Jamestown.'"
Snores-ville, some of the Superwolf Friends couldn't keep from yawning. Fortunately, Ratcliffe didn't see them.
"Captain Smith," Ratcliffe said, approaching John and Harry. "It appears I've selected the perfect location eh? Not a savage in sight."
"Just because we don't see them doesn't mean they're not out there sir." John said.
"Well, perhaps you and your dogs should venture forth and determine their whereabouts." Ratcliffe said, half-teasing.
"Okay," John agreed. "I'll be taking my crew too, they're more of the exploring kind than the working kind."
"Very good, have them bring guns too, just in case."
The Superwolf Friends, however, had already gone into the forest… without guns since they didn't need them. John and his 'pet dogs' caught up with them, and, a few minutes later, passed them. They moved through the forest until they came to a waterfall. John started singing.
JOHN:
All my life, I have searched for a land
Like this one
A wilder, more challenging country
I couldn't design
Hundreds of dangers await
And I don't plan to miss one
In a land I can claim
A land I can tame
The greatest adventure is mine!
While John was singing he, Harry, and Ron W, climbed the cliff next to the waterfall. Suddenly, just as they each grabbed a vine, they fell! It was okay though, because holding onto the vine allowed them to swing to a log that was resting at an angle. As they landed onto the log, the log fell down to the ground, but John and his dogs managed to retain their balance. Watching them, Rudy got an idea, and climbed the cliff too. He grabbed a vine, a jumped off, swinging through the trees in the nearby forest! Everyone else decided to join Rudy, even the more serious ones! Harry and Ron W flew John up onto a tree, and the three of them each grabbed a vine and joined the others.
Laughing and cheering, everyone swung between the trees. They were having so much fun that not even the geniuses stopped to wonder how they kept on swinging with the same vine like that. They stooped cheering and started screaming after a few minutes, because they were heading straight for the edge of a cliff! They closed their eyes as they started to fall, but then a giant hammock caught them just in time!
When they realized that they weren't dead or even wounded, John and the others thought that Harry or his parents, or even Ron W or Sirius, saved them. Harry and his fellow wizards shook their heads at that assumption, leaving the others confused until Timmy pointed out small repeated writing on the hammock that said: 'Fairy Magic'. Harry and the rest of the team grinned, knowing that Cosmo and Wanda had saved them.
They and John then started to climb down the trees near the hammock. Not everyone though, Numbuh One, Kim, and Ron S flew down using their rocket shoes. Jimmy N has rocket shoes too, except his are more anti-gravity than rocket. Sam, Alex, and Clover used their suction cup boots to 'walk' down the trees, which impressed a lot of the team. James, Lily, and Sirius apparated to the ground and Harry and Ron W flew down. Then everyone went to a lower part of the forest and began looking for me, the rest of the Superwolf Friends, and Hermione. What they didn't know then was that we were behind them the whole time.
John and the others soon reached a rocky slope next to another waterfall – this forest is full of them – and stopped to cool off in the refreshing water. John splashed some water onto his face, but when he looked into the reflection in another handful of water he moved away from the others and disappeared through the waterfall. What he saw was Pocahontas, even though she was hidden around a bend.
I was far away from Pocahontas, and stepping carefully through a small bush path on the rocky slope. I then leapt, and pounced Misty and Brock right into the lake near the waterfall! The resounding splash drenched a few others, but my fellow operatives were the only ones not entirely surprised. As Misty and Brock came up above the water, I swam past them with a "Hi guys."
"Miranda!" Brock said, annoyed. "Of all of the rotten stunts!"
I only grinned.
"Numbuh Five's got to hand it to you Numbuh K9," Numbuh Five said, slightly amused. "You've still got it."
"What do you mean by that?" Misty asked.
"Back before she became a double agent she used to pounce on teenagers and adults all the time." Numbuh Two explained.
"Ohh." All of the non-operatives said.
Misty, Brock, and I came out of the water and I dried us off with a spell.
"Any particular reason why you pounced my friends?" Ash asked, a little amused too.
"They were the only ones in front of my pouncing path." I explained. "As for pouncing in general, it's just something I like to practice."
We then heard the sound of twigs snapping and Hermione came through my 'pounce path'.
"You really should learn how to stalk." I said sarcastically. "You'll never be able to pounce someone that way."
"I wasn't trying to pounce our friends." Hermione said sternly.
Hermione never uses pouncing because she prefers using a wand – and she also never really got into the 'wolf' part of 'Superwolf'.
"Don't you know sarcasm when you hear it?" I grinned.
Hermione frowned at that, but Ron W and the kids – and a few of the teenagers – grinned.
The Superwolf Friends who were with Hermione and I then appeared and the team greeted each other.
"Say," Darwin said to the humans. "Where's the settler that was with you earlier?"
"John?" Penny P said. "He went behind the waterfall."
"Look! Pocahontas is heading there too!" Snowy said.
The team and other Superwolves and I watched as Pocahontas stood on a rock in front of the waterfall. Suddenly, John leapt out onto another rock, aiming his gun at Pocahontas! We watched nervously, but John didn't shoot Pocahontas at all. Instead he froze, lowered his gun and walked towards her. He was probably going to say hello, but Pocahontas ran away before he could say anything.
"No wait!" John said, running after her.
The team and other Superwolves and I ran after them, though some members of the team weren't used to running through the forest. Luckily, Cosmo and Wanda helped those who needed it. We soon left the forest and reached a wide river, with a giant tree next to it, and Pocahontas got into her canoe. Meeko and Flit were there too and they got into the canoe as well.
"Please," John said. "Don't run off. It's all right, I'm not going to hurt you. Here, let me help you out of there." John offered her his hand.
"Mat-ta-que nat-o-rath?" Pocahontas said, confused.
"You don't understand a word I'm saying, do you?" John said knowingly still holding out his hand.
There was a short pause.
"It's all right." John said.
Unexpectedly, the multi-colored leaf wind came back! It blew around John and Pocahontas's arms and let Pocahontas know that John could be trusted. Pocahontas let John help her out of the canoe. Flit was about to attack John again, but Meeko caught him by the tail, which caused Flit to fly in place. The wind started singing again…
GRANDMOTHER WILLOW:
Que-que nat-o-rath
You will understand
"Grandmother Willow?" Clifford said. "How did she get here?"
"Actually I think she's sending her voice by the wind." Kaya explained.
GRADNMOTHER WILLOW:
Listen with your heart
You will understand
Let it break upon you
Like a wave upon the sand
Suddenly, the leaf wind blew around Pocahontas and John like a slow and calm tornado!
"Uh, Kaya," Molly said. "What would you call that?"
"Well, I'd call it nature magic." Kaya said.
Everyone else looked thoughtful at this.
"Who are you?" John asked Pocahontas.
GRANDMOTHER WILLOW:
Listen with your heart
You will understand
"Pocahontas." Pocahontas said.
"What?" John said.
"My name is, Pocahontas."
Meeko and Flit dropped their mouths in shock, and then Meeko smiled and Flit frowned.
"I'm John Smith." John said to Pocahontas.
All of our mouths dropped in shock too.
"Although...I never heard of nature magic...doing that." Kaya added, stunned.
