Chapter IV Re-united
In the last chapter Alvin, Scott, Judy, Rocky and Reilly had just managed to escape from Melvin who had transformed into a werewolf.
The others; Tom, Nicole, Zaria, Jason and Chloe were ambushed by the pirates and brought aboard their ship as prisoners and to make matters worse the pirates now have the silver sphere and the golden scepter.
Alvin had now just woken up inside a log were he and Scott had hid from Melvin. Alvin had expected to see Scott when he woke up but he wasn't in the log. Alvin then darted out into the island jungle to find him. He eventually did find him along with Rocky, Reilly and Judy who was hovering over Melvin who was no longer in his werewolf transformation and was curled up in a ball. Melvin opened his eyes and noticed the chipmunks, he went to attack them but fell back down again.
"Feeling a bit drained?" Asked Rocky
"Shut the hell up!" spat Melvin
"What do you know about the scepter that Leon took?" Asked Alvin
"Fuck all, Leon doesn't tell us anything" replied Melvin
"He's probably lying" said Judy
Rocky then pulled out his gun and pointed it at Melvin.
"Tell us the truth, what does the scepter do?" he said
"If only you had the guts" said Melvin
"Rocky, you can't kill him that make you as bad as the pirates" stated Reilly
"Maybe we can trade him for the scepter" suggested Judy
"But we don't know what it does" replied Scott
"No but we can find out what it does" said Alvin
"But first we need to find the pirate's ship to negotiate" stated Rocky
"No we don't, there it is" said Judy as she pointed to a ship out at sea shrouded in mist.
"You guys are idiots, it's not going to work!" Exclaimed Melvin
"We'll see" replied Alvin
Meanwhile on the pirates ship the other members of Alvin's crew Tom, Nicole, Zaria, and Jason were locked in the brig and talking to Paris about the golden scepter and the golden sphere.
"So you're saying that they need the scepter and the sphere to find the fountain of youth?" Asked Chloe
"Yes, the sphere connects to the scepter and then the user must take it to the platinum isle at midnight so the light of the crescent moon can shine down onto the sphere and direct you to the fountain of youth"
"How do you know that?" Asked Jason
"I overheard Leon telling Valerie" Paris replied
"Seems kind of complicated" said Tom "I mean when is the next crescent moon"
"Tonight I think" said Nicole
"Well that's convenient" said Zaria
"Paris, how did you get mixed up in all of this?" Asked Chloe
"I was saved by Valerie, I was on a cruise with my parents but suddenly it got bombarded by canon fire and the next thing I knew I was being brought aboard this ship by Valerie and now I'm in her dept"
"You owe her nothing!" Exclaimed Jason
"What do you mean?" Asked Paris
"It's more likley that this is the ship that attacked your cruise ship and Valerie just wanted a slave" replied Jason
"That would make more sense" said Paris
"Listen Paris, help us out and we'll make sure that the pirate's won't hurt anyone again" said Zaria
Paris then took the cell key and slowly inserted it into the key but before she unlocked the cell a voice came from above deck.
"PARIS, WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU!" Exclaimed Valerie
Paris then quickly took the key out of the lock.
"Sorry guys, but I prefer life" she said as she darted up to the main deck.
"So close" Tom said with a sigh
"Guys I would like to apologize" said Zaria
"For what?" Asked Nicole
"If it wasn't for me we wouldn't be here" she said "I was the one look out"
"Zaria this is no ones fault" said Nicole
Zaria then Chloe and asked:
"Chloe do you think chipmunks can change"
"It depends who are you trying to change?" Asked Chloe
"My sister she's a pirate" replied Zaria
"Oh, no she's a lost cause" said Chloe
"Chloe wasn't your brother a pirate before he changed?" Asked Jason
"Yes but Cole was never evil he's always been 20% cooler"
"Don't listen to Chloe Zaria I'm sure Zion will change" said Tom
"I sure hope so" said Zaria
Meanwhile on the main deck Leon and Valerie had connect the sphere to the scepter and was about to leave for the isle of platinum. Before they left Leon had something to say to his crew.
"The location of the fountain of youth draws closer so while me and Valerie find out where it is I want you to stay here and look out for the rest of those chipmunks"
"You really need all of us just to take care of five chipmunks" mocked Erin
"Don't underestimate them Erin one of those chipmunks defeated the previous captain so unless you want end up like him I suggest you listen to me" said Leon
"Fine" replied Erin
Leon and Valerie then left for the Isle of Platinum with the scepter and the sphere. Not long after they were gone and Alvin, Scott, Judy, Rocky and Reilly boarded the ship with Melvin who they had tied up.
"Thank you for re-uniting me with my brother" said Ray
"This isn't a re-union, it's an exchange" replied Rocky
"Really, is that your style?" Asked Zion
"So let me guess you want to trade Melvin for your useless friends" said Andrew
"You have our friends!" Exclaimed
"Yeah, I bet you forgot there was more of us" Reilly whispered to Alvin
"Well we originally wanted the scepter but now we'll have our friends instead" said Alvin
"Hold the phone you want us to trade five chipmunks for one pirate?" Asked Dexter
"Err..if you don't mind" Alvin said nervously
Just then all of the pirates started to laugh including Melvin.
"I can't believe Leon told us not to underestimate these morons" said Erin as she wiped a tear from her eye.
"I know they're so naive" said Zion
At that moment Melvin nudged Alvin in the side and ran to the pirates side the side then broke the ropes that binded him.
"Could you have done that any time? Asked Alvin as he was getting up.
"I was just waiting for the right time" replied Melvin
"Throw them in with the others" said Erin
"Who died and made you queen!" Exclaimed Dexter
"Just do it" Erin replied
The pirates surrounded the crew and grabbed them. They then took them down to the brig and thew into the cell with others.
"Guys you're alive!" Exclaimed Alvin
"Of course we are why wouldn't we be? Asked Jason
"Well because we got attacked by a kraken and fell into the ocean" replied Scott
"We may be alive now but I fear we won't be for much longer" said Chloe
"Where is Leon and Valerie?" Asked Judy
"They've probably gone to find out the location of the fountain of youth" replied Tom
"Huh" Alvin, Rocky, Reilly, Scott and Judy
Chloe then explained to the others about the scepter the sphere and the Isle of Platinum.
Just then Leon entered the brig and looked at the crew.
"I thought you would be here" he said as he looked at Alvin "I'm going to give you a choice you can either die or join my crew"
"We'll never join you" exclaimed Alvin
"Are you sure?" Asked "Leon you didn't conform with your friends"
"I don't need to because I know that we are all in an agreement" Alvin replied
"Fine, congratulations Alvin you have sealed your friends fate" said Leon
"He hasn't sealed our fate you have!" Exclaimed Zaria
Leon just ignored the comment and said:
"Tomorrow morning we'll sail in the of a school of sharks where your execution will take place"
A/N: Finally that took forever mainly because I found it difficult to write this chapter for some reason and I kept getting distracted.
Anyway the next chapter is going to be the last (I know short story) so if you have ideas for the last chapter or you want your OC to have a specific role in the last chapter (like a death scene) then PM me.
Also at the end of the last chapter I will also say what will be my next story but until then C Ya.
