Back in Amity, Sam was starting to get worried that Danny had not returned yet. Desiree could see it as well as she came out onto the balcony to talk to her.
"You would know if Danny was in trouble would you? I thought he'd back by now" Sam said sadly.
Desiree gently turned her around and said, "Danny will be back"
Sam however just still looked down and continued to look out from the balcony, Desiree didn't know what to do , until she smiled as she thought of something.
She transformed in Mrs Doubtfire and said, "Listen to Dessie dear. Dessie known you got to get your mind off this intensive waiting"
Sam smiled a little and grabbed Desiree's hand as she teleported them both into the now fixed wedding pavilion, Desiree turned back to normal and said, "Here is a sure fire way to cheer up the bride to be, a heaping helping hand of matrimonial magic"
She then zapped at the floor and suddenly all different types of wedding gifts appeared such as a new car, flowers, dishes and lots of other stuff. Desiree then walked up and said, "Okay what this wedding needs is a theme. It needs a groom too, but let's work with what we have"
"DESIREE!" Sam exclaimed.
"It's a joke! I do that! Okay now since this will be the second wedding for both of you, I'm thinking we need something simple, a little more elegant and less grey" Desiree said as she suddenly made an elephant appear and then disappear.
"Now as for themes, how about this?" Desiree asked as suddenly the lights went out.
Suddenly Sam found herself standing in a Chapel of Love setting from Las Vegas as Desiree came out dressed like Elvis exclaiming, "I see lasers! It's a miracle! He believes! He believes! Thank you very much!"
Sam laughed at this and said, "I don't think so"
Desiree then turned everything back to normal as she asked, "Too much right?"
She then started to think of another theme, she then smiled as she transformed Sam into a version of Snow White and turned herself into a fashion show announcer and said, "Whether you're dancing with Dwarfs or biting the apple it says I'm a princess for now"
Sam shook her head at her silliness as she turned everything back to normal. Sam then said, "Don't worry Des, I'm sure the wedding will be wonderful and thanks for cheering me up"
Desiree smiled and gave Sam a hug. Meanwhile back with the Forty Thieves Jack was leading Danny, Jazz, Frostbite, Youngblood and Cujo through some of the caves towards some sort of secret room apparently.
"I find my children and lose my greatest enemy. You did your old man proud Danny" Jack said.
"I was just trying to stay alive" Danny said as they continued walking.
"Ha! If you didn't fight, you would've been killed. So says the code of the Forty Thieves" Jack said as he allowed them to pass him.
"Does this code have any rules that don't result in death?" Youngblood asked innocently.
"It's a strict code, but there is one I added. We never hurt the innocent" Jack said as she stopped in front of a wall end that had the mark of a turtle.
"Ah just for future reference, I'm as innocent as the day I was formed" Youngblood said, but then got annoyed when Cujo muttered, "Oh brother!"
"My men don't even know about this place" Jack said as he pulled his small medallion and placed it on the mark, the wall suddenly opened to reveal a large room and they all entered.
Jack lit the lanterns with the torch he had and then put it out in a vase of water. He then turned around to the others and said, "Listen kids there is a treasure, the ultimate treasure. Compared to this a pharaoh's tomb is a pauper's grave, a king's fortune is nothing but lunch money and I am this close to finding it"
He then went to a closet and pulled out some material as he continued, "But it is on an island that is never in the same place twice, the Vanishing Isle"
"What is this ultimate treasure?" Frostbite asked.
"The big one, the Hand of Pariah Dark" Jack answered and showed them the material that had a picture of a golden hand on a turtle.
"It's just a myth" Danny said. Jazz then added, "He has a point, I've read books that mentioned this Hand of Pariah Dark and it all points down to that it's nothing but a legend"
"It's not a myth!" Jack said as he grabbed another torch and led down the stairs to where some water was and shined a light to reveal a golden ship under the water as he continued, "There's your proof it was once right here. The whole ship was turned to solid gold!"
"Adopt me daddy-o!" Youngblood exclaimed as he looked at the ship in awe.
"It was touched by the Hand of Pariah Dark" Jack said as they walked back in the room.
"And sunk by it" Danny said sarcastically.
Jack scoffed at his remark and said, "Oh you don't understand. You both don't know what it's like to stare up at the palace and know you deserve more. To be called things like crazy, nut job or even freaks"
"Yes we actually do" Danny and Jazz said in unison. Jack's eyes softened and he continued after giving them a tight embrace, "I knew exactly what I wanted for my family, the best. Sure ghost hunting and research was doing okay, but after Danny had his accident with the portal when he was just one years old, I wanted to give you more. So I went to look for the Hand of Pariah, I couldn't go back to Amity empty handed but the weeks turned into months and the months turned into years"
Jack then stopped and looked down sadly as looked at a picture of them all when Danny was born, "I came back to Amity one night, but I couldn't find my wife or my children. I thought my family was lost forever, at that moment I would've traded anything to get your mother back"
"We never wanted gold, we wanted you. I wanted a father, I still do" Danny said as they both came up to him and then he said with a grin, "Come to my wedding and this time you have an invitation"
"Danny I just don't know" Jack said nervously.
"Dad we're not going back to Amity until the morning, at least think about it" Jazz said and then they all left except Youngblood.
Jack sighed and said, "Danny and Jazz don't understand, it just wouldn't work. I don't belong in their world"
"The oracle doesn't belong in their world either, it belongs in the hands of two enterprising treasure hunters, you and me" Youngblood said with a grin.
"The oracle, it's probably just another dead end" Jack said, but then Youngblood said, "It works! That's how they found you, it knows everything"
Jack smiled at that and asked, "Everything?"
"And I know where they stashed it, Jack we are talking about the wedding of your only son. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity" Youngblood said encouragingly.
Jack though about it for a second and said with a grin, "How can I pass it up"
Back in Amity in the dead of night, Skulker was walking down a dark alley. He then heard a whisper, "Captain over here"
He came up the doorway of an abandoned house and demanded, "Show yourself!"
"You're alone? Good" The voice revealed to be Dan's as he came out.
"Are you the one with information about the Forty Thieves?" Skulker asked as he put his blaster away.
"Yes. What would you say if I handed you the King of Thieves?" Dan asked.
"I'd say what's in it for you?" Skulker asked cautiously.
"I'll just sleep better knowing he's off the streets and rotting in jail for life" Dan answered.
"Everyone knows that the King of Thieves cannot be caught. What miracle do you possess?" Skulker asked.
"Two words that will make you Amity's greatest hero, open sesame" Dan answered with a sickening grin and Skulker returned with just a suspicious look.
