The group had spent their day relaxing and doing what they loved to do. Aaron was playing in a pool, Humphrey and Kate were playing with a beach ball, and Hutch lay down on a chair. It was peaceful.
"I hope you're enjoying yourselves?" A voice said. Humphrey and Kate looked over and saw Karen standing there with a smile.
"Yes. Yes we are." Humphrey said calmly.
"Great. We enjoy having you here. If there are any problems, just call."
"Problems?" Aaron laughed as he came to the edge of the pool. "This is paradise!" He smiled.
"You are so… eccentric." Karen said, giggling.
"Well, it's a gift." Aaron blushed. "Maybe when we dock, you can…"
"Hey! Hey! Hey!" A voice yelled from afar. They turned to see Captain Hook-Finn pushing Joey away from something.
"I'm sorry, mate." The captain said. "I's going to bar you from the apt section of me ship."
"We're so sorry!" Mikey apologized. "What the hell were you thinking?!" He asked Joey.
"Mikey, it is called the 'Poop Deck'. That is why I pooped there."
"Yarr disgusting." The captain said.
"And you're misleading." With that, he left with his rat. The group looked at them in confusion.
"Weird." Hutch said as he lay back down.
"I'm sorry folks! Back to paradise!" Hook Finn shouted with a hearty laugh and they did.
"There is something up with that guy." Humphrey muttered. Kate noticed what he said.
"Humphrey, we're on vacation. Enjoy!" She said as she nuzzled him.
"I'm sorry. But why would he poop in public?" He asked as he pushed Kate away.
"Relax." Aaron said. "Maybe he forgot his medications. I'm sure…" Before he could answer, he felt something on his tail.
"What the…" Then suddenly, something bit his tail and tore a part off. Aaron screamed in pain as he got out. Everyone near him looked at him as the saw his tail bleed and staining the pool.
"Look!" A wolf shouted as they pointed in the water. Joey and Mikey turned around as they heard screams of terror.
"Finally!" He then started to run to the front of the ship.
"Are you okay?" Hutch asked. Aaron shook.
"Get me some Band-Aids…." He said shakily. Hutch ran over to the nearest first aid kit and placed it next to him.
Meanwhile, Humphrey walked towards the pool with Kate as they saw something swimming in there.
"What be the problem?" Hook-Finn asked as he held his mate close.
"I don't know…" Humphrey answered. Then the creature jumped from the pool and in front of the group. The wolves around screamed and ran.
Panic was in the air. No one knew what to do. Humphrey got a good look on the creature. It was black, small with red piercing eyes and had the body of an angler fish with huge pointed teeth. It appeared to have four legs as it sprinted towards them.
"Run!" Humphrey shouted. The group, Hook-Finn, Kate, Hutch, Humphrey, Aaron, and Karen, ran into the pipe room. It was dark, but red lights filled the room with a siren.
"It be a code red!" Hook-Finn yelled. "When something happens on a ship, we have different codes!"
"This is not happening!" Karen shouted. She started to sob.
Humphrey peeked his head out and saw the fish demon biting the nearest wolves. The bitten wolves turned all black and had red eyes. They smiled sadistically. The bitten wolves bit other wolves with had the same effect.
"It's biting the wolves there!" Humphrey shouted. Then, a sudden jolt was felt on the ship that sent the group back a little.
"What was that?" Hutch asked.
"Someone took over me ship!" Hook-Finn shouted. The group looked at each other fearfully.
"I might know who it is." Humphrey thought.
In the captain's bridge, Joey and Mikey were driving the ship with unconscious wolves on the floor.
"Next stop, Pirates Bay!" He said over the intercom. The group heard this and they gasped.
"Is that…" Hutch stared.
"I think it is…" Humphrey muttered. "I guess we're ending our vacation early…"
"I hope we don't encounter The Beast of Pirate's Bay." Karen shuddered.
"What's that?" Hutch asked. The Captain and his mate looked at each other in fear.
