Disclaimer: Yeah, yeah, I don't own this.
Duncan got up and stumbled out of the cabin queasily. He stopped short at the sight of the open sea.
"I'm on a boat! I'm on a boat! I'm on a motherf---ing boat!"(1)
He walked unsteadily back into the cabin and saw Pinkie and Harold still sleeping. Duncan huddled on his bed and tried to not to be sick.
Noah grabbed the piece of paper that was taped to the door of his cabin.
Dear Contestants,
Welcome to the Seas of Chris! You are now all pirates. Search the seas for the legendary Maclean treasure! The first to find it wins immunity. You have a map of the Seas of Chris in your moneybox. There is also 100 gold in your moneybox. If you need more, steal from the rest of the people in the game. Make sure to record your thoughts in the Confessional below deck! The teams are as follows:
Duncan. Pinkie, and Harold with the ship, The Nerd
Izzy, Heather, and Noah with the ship, The Crazy
Jacob, Bridgette, Gwen, and Lindsay with the ship, The Airhead
Eva, Ezekiel and Katie with the ship, The Homeschooled
DJ, Justin, and Sadie with the ship, The Scaredy-cat
Good luck!
Chris
Izzy read the note over Noah's shoulder. "Ooooh! We're pirates! We're going to have a Super Epic Pirate Saga!"
Heather rubbed her temples as Noah contemplated bashing his head against the wall repeatedly.
Justin, DJ, and Sadie: The Scaredy-cat
"Do either of you know how to steer a boat?" Justin asked his teammates. DJ and Sadie shook their heads no.
"I did find this under the moneybox though," Sadie said holding up a book.
"Pirate Ships for Dummies," Justin read, "That'll be helpful."
Eva, Ezekiel and Katie: The Homeschooled
"Eva, do you want to steer?" Ezekiel asked.
Eva was deep in thought. "Huh? Oh, uh, sure, Homeschool."
"Are you okay, Eva?" Ezekiel looked concerned. He bent over and felt her forehead. "Are you sick?"
Eva slapped his hand away. "I'm fine! Leave me alone." She walked away quickly, her face bright red.
Katie watched the whole exchange from where she sat reading 'Pirate Ships for Dummies.'
"If I didn't know better," she thought, "I would think she liked him."
Jacob, Bridgette, Gwen, and Lindsay: The Airhead
Jacob looked at the Bridgette, Gwen, and Lindsay as they read 'Pirate Ships for Dummies.'
"I'm sure it's not a coincidence that I'm with all three of these girls," he thought, "Chris probably hopes for me to slip up. But I'm way beyond the level where this kind of thing bothers you."
Lindsay's blank expression showed nothing of her true thoughts. "I better be careful. Con artists like him are usually angry when you figure them out. He'll probably try to ruin my act. But I'm way beyond the level where that kind of thing would trip me up."
Duncan, Pinkie, and Harold: The Nerd
"I'm sure you've been on a boat before. You weren't seasick then!" Harold said.
"Those were small boats," Duncan replied, green in the face, "I hate big boats."
Pinkie was studying the map. She looked up from it and interrupted the conversation. "I say we head to the closest island to us."
"Which is?" Harold asked.
"I don't know where we are," Pinkie replied.
"Then looking at that map is really helpful," Duncan said sarcastically.
"Don't say things that don't help. Gosh!" Harold glared at Duncan.
"Let's just sail until we find something. I'll steer," Pinkie told them.
Izzy, Heather, and Noah: The Crazy
The three new pirates had managed to catch sight of a nearby island quite quickly and had started to docked there.
"Hey!" A man called up to them. "I need five gold and your names for you to dock here!"
Noah jumped off their ship and gave the man what he needed. Izzy started to run off towards the town.
"Izzy! Wait-"Heather started to call out. She stopped, realizing that even if Izzy heard her she probably wouldn't listen.
Heather read a sign as they entered the town. It read: Welcome to the island of Robe en la Noche! The two walked down a street and saw two sword shops. They entered one of them. The sleazy looking man behind the counter greeted them. "Wot can I do fer you two on this fine day?"
"We'd like to buy three swords. Nothing fancy, please." Heather informed him.
"I've got jest the thing for you." The shopkeeper pulled out a few swords. "New, and made for beginners. I hope I'm not wrong in assumin' yer beginners?"
"No, we are," Heather answered.
"Good. They're 50 gold each."
"Wha-!" Heather was cut off by Noah.
"There's no way we're paying that much for those dinky looking swords. We'll give you 10 gold each."
"I'd be practically giving away the swords at 10 gold! You'd bankrupt me. 40 gold."
"10 gold," Noah insisted.
"I can't give it to you for 10 gold! 30 gold."
"No," Noah sighed, "If you insist on such exorbitant prices, we'll have to take our business to the shop across the street."
"Fine, fine! You twisted my arm! I'll give 'em to you for 15 gold."
"Deal." Noah handed over the money and took the swords. "Now do you know where we could buy a gun in town?"
The shopkeeper looked at him in confusion. "Wot's a gun?" he asked.
The Confessional: No guns?
Noah: Chris took guns out of a pirate challenge? What's the fun in that?
________________________
Heather: So we have cannons on our ship, but no guns. That makes a whole lot of sense, Chris.
________________________
Chris: Well, I thought that guns would make it too easy for them to kill each other! Besides, sword fighting is so much more fun to watch. The ratings will go sky-high!
Duncan, Pinkie, and Harold: The Nerd
Duncan stretched after he left the ship. "Wow, it feels so good to be off that thing!"
"Don't move!" Suddenly, they were surrounded by soldiers pointing swords at the three. "Pirates are not welcome here."
Duncan smiled winningly. "But we're not pirates!"
One of the soldiers laughed coldly. "Don't lie to us!" He pointed at the flag flying from their ship. Duncan finally noticed that it was the Jolly Roger.
The soldiers marched Duncan, Pinkie, and Harold to the jail. They were all thrown into a cell. A dirty looking man looked at them. "Welcome to the Encarcele Isla jail. Are you three all pirates?"
Jacob, Bridgette, Gwen, and Lindsay: The Airhead
The crew of The Airhead were running around, desperately trying to make the ship go in one direction. "I'm coming about!" Jacob yelled from the wheel. Lindsay turned around just as Jacob turned the wheel. She was hit by a large piece of wood that pushed her off the ship. She held onto the thing that had hit her and dangled above the ocean.
"Lindsay!" Bridgette yelled as Gwen sighed.
Eva, Ezekiel, and Katie: The Homeschooled
"Land ho!" Katie yelled. She scurried down the rigging from the crows nest. Eva stood at the wheel and slowly brought the ship towards the island, Isla de Ladrones. They saw The Scaredy-cat in the port. An idea occurred to Eva.
"How about we steal some money from them while we're here?" she suggested.
"Sounds good, eh."
The crew of The Scaredy-cat returned to their ship after buying some swords in town. They saw The Homeschooled leaving the port. Eva caught sight of them.
"So long, suckers!" she called back to them.
"Why are we suckers?" DJ asked.
"DJ, what did we leave in the ship?" Sadie asked him slowly.
"Everything except 75 gold. Oh." He realized what had happened.
"Um, guys, I think the ship is sinking," Justin said in dismay.
The Homeschooled arrived at another island. The three stood on the shore, looking at the map.
"I think this island is this one," Katie said, pointing at a dot on the map. "It's uninhabited."
"Castor asesino. Is that in another language?" Eva commented.
Ezekiel paled. "I hope that's a joke, eh."
"You hope what's a joke?" Eva asked him.
"Um, guys-" Katie tried to say.
Eva interrupted her. "One second, Katie. You hope what's a joke?"
"Well, in Spanish that means Killer Beaver."
"Um, guys-"
Eva interrupted her again. "Could you wait just one second, Katie! I'm sure it's just a joke of Chris', Homeschool."
"Guys, this is important. That name isn't a joke," Katie said, sounding panicked.
Ezekiel and Eva turned and looked into the beady eyes of a giant beaver. The three started to run away, screaming, as the rodent charged.
Izzy, Heather, and Noah: The Crazy
Heather and Noah trudged through the streets of the town. It was getting dark and they were looking for Izzy.
"Can we just ditch her?" Heather said.
"As much as I would love to, we need her to help us with the ship. Having only two people would be a huge disadvantage."
"Looking for her all day has also put us at a huge disadvantage!"
Izzy chose that moment to finally pop up in front of them. "Hey guys!"
"Where have you been?" Heather yelled at her angrily.
"Oh, I found someone who says he'll take us to the treasure!" She bounded into a nearby pub with Noah and Heather reluctantly following her. The inside of the pub was chaotic, to say the least. There was a huge brawl near the bar. Izzy led them right through it, throwing a few random punches at people as she went. "There he is!" Izzy pointed to a guy in a red tracksuit sitting at the bar. Noah and Heather's jaws dropped as Tyler turned around.
DJ, Justin, and Sadie: sans The Scaredy-cat
"What do we do?" Sadie asked as the three watched the last of The Scaredy-cat disappeared into the harbor.
"I guess we steal a ship from someone else?" DJ suggested.
"If anyone comes, then we'll do that," Sadie said. "What do you think, Justin?"
"Huh?" Justin dragged his eyes away from his image in the water. "What are we talking about?"
The Confessional: You feel guilty?
Sadie: Wow, Justin is really into his own image. (She smiles dreamily) but he is unnaturally gorgeous. (She realizes what she just said.) Don't tell Ezekiel I said that!
________________________
Justin: Thankfully, Katie wasn't there to see what I just did.
Jacob, Bridgette, Gwen, and Lindsay: The Airhead
"I see a ship!" Bridgette called from the crows nest.
"Prepare the cannons!" Jacob ordered.
"Wow Joe, you're really getting into this!" Lindsay ran off to do as he said.
"What does she mean by that?" he wondered. He searched her words for hidden meaning.
Lindsay laughed to herself. "I bet he's totally freaking out right now! He'll search everything that I say for some sort of meaning beyond the simple one. I am so far out of his league that he didn't have a prayer in hoping to trick me."
Izzy, Heather, and Noah: The Crazy
Izzy had already prepared the cannons in record time. Apparently, not all of the stories she had been telling on the trip about her pirate adventures were completely bogus.
"So, Tyler, why are you here?" Noah asked the clumsy athlete.
"I wanted to join the competition to get Lindsay to take me back. She dumped me after the competition was over and she figured out who I was. I was in a full body cast when the show started so I couldn't compete. Chris wouldn't let me actually on the show but said I could be in some of the challenges. That's good enough for me."
Noah looked at him in shock. "Wait, let me get this straight. You came back willingly."
"Yep."
"To get your girlfriend back?"
"Yep."
"Okay. And you know where the treasure is?"
"Not exactly, no." Tyler smiled sheepishly. "But I do know who knows where it is!"
"And who is that?"
"A hermit who lives on some island, alone. I heard Chris talking about it. I think it's called Beaver Island or something? Anyway, it's populated by killer beavers."
"Lovely."
"They're within range!" Heather called down from the main deck.
They heard a boom and a splash. "They're shooting at us!" Heather yelled.
"Thank you, Captain Obvious," Noah muttered.
Izzy started to sing as she lit the fuses on the cannons. "Yo ho, yo ho, a pirates life for me!"
The Confessional: Those pesky killer beavers!
Noah: Only Chris would put killer beavers to guard the place we need to go.
________________________
Izzy: That song is so catchy! (She starts to sing.) We pillage, we plunder, we rifle and loot! Drink up me 'earties, yo ho!
Eva, Ezekiel, and Katie: The Homeschooled
After escaping from the beaver, the three teens decided to do something other than search for the treasure blindly.
"It's settled then!" Katie declared, "We'll go to the nearest inhabited island and asked around to see if anyone knows about the Maclean treasure."
Izzy, Heather, and Noah: The Crazy
Izzy scrambled around, manning all the cannons. All of the others were on the main deck, getting ready to board the other vessel.
Suddenly, a scream was heard as one of Izzy's cannonballs hit The Airhead. Tyler recognized the voice. "Lindsay!" he bellowed. Tyler unsheathed his sword and cut one of the ropes attached to the mast. He grabbed it and attempted to swing over to The Airhead. However, he misjudged the distance and let go too early. Tyler smashed into the side of The Airhead and sank like a stone into the ocean.
Heather looked in horror at the sunken Tyler. Noah, on the other hand, was nonchalant.
"Whatever," Noah said," He had told me everything he knew anyway."
"Oh," Heather said, her worry disappearing, "Then it's okay."
The crew of The Airhead, sans Lindsay and Bridgette, boarded The Crazy. A sad little sword fight started. The four teenagers waved their swords at each other clumsily and attempted to run each other through.
"Awww, forget this," Noah said, "We all suck anyway." He threw his sword towards Gwen like a javelin. It went through her and she disappeared.
The two others chucked the swords at each other. Heather bent over to retrieve her sword and was skewered by Jacob. Noah came up behind Jacob and stabbed him. Heather and Jacob disappeared, both of their swords clanging to the ground.
Below the decks, there was a rather one way fight going on. As Lindsay and Bridgette tried to figure out how they shot the cannon the first time, Izzy was filling their ship with holes. One of her shots brought down The Airhead's mast and another made a hole in their hull.
Lindsay noticed that water was coming into the hold. "Um, Bertha, that water isn't a good thing, right?"
Bridgette didn't bother to answer as she ran onto the main deck to get off the sinking ship. She noticed the lifeboat attached to the side of the ship. "Help me untie this, Lindsay!" Lindsay hurried over and together the two girls managed to untie the knots securing the lifeboat. The lifeboat dropped into the ocean and started to float away. The girls stared at it in dismay. "Do you think we shouldn't have untied it, Brianna?"
The Crazy turned and started to sail away. The two girls stood where they were, unable to do anything, until they were swimming in the ocean. A wave went over their heads and the two girls were gone.
Justin, DJ, and Sadie: sans The Scaredy-cat
The ex-crew of The Scaredy-cat had gotten tired of waiting for a ship to arrive. It was getting dark so they decided to rent a room in an inn with the remaining 10 gold that they had. They were hanging around in the bar across the street when they saw Eva, Ezekiel, and Katie enter the inn. The three quickly vacated the bar and raced to the harbor.
Duncan, Pinkie, and Harold: The Nerd
"Finally! We're free!" Duncan smiled for the first time in several hours. "Why didn't I think of bribing the prison guards earlier?"
"Well, because you were too busy yelling at me for no reason," Harold said bitterly.
"It wasn't for no reason," Duncan snarled, "You were being an idiot!"
"Stop it!" Pinkie yelled at them. The two guys shut up and glowered at each other.
The Confessional: Still holding a grudge, eh?
Duncan: Just because Princess forgives him doesn't mean that I have to.

Harold: The guy fed me my underwear in a sandwich! There is no way I'm going to forget that any time soon.
The teams dropped off to sleep in the various parts of the Seas of Chris.
Day 2
Eva, Ezekiel, and Katie: sans The Homeschooled
Eva, Ezekiel, and Katie stared in shock at the empty space in the harbor where The Homeschooled used to be.
"They stole our ship!" yelled Eva.
"Who's they, eh?" Ezekiel asked.
"I don't know, Homeschool, but when I find out, they're going to get it." Eva cracked her knuckles threateningly.
"Well, thankfully there are a lot more ships in the harbor now. I don't recognize the names on any of them, so they're obviously not from any of our teammates. Let's just steal one of them!"
Eva smirked. "I like the way you think."
The Confessional: Too bad, so sad
Katie: I feel really bad that we lost the ship because the only reason we slept in town last night was because I didn't want to sleep in the cabin. It was hard to sleep with all the rocking the ship was doing.
Eva picked a ship called The Hawk for them to steal. Ezekiel and Katie snuck onto the ship and made sure there wasn't anyone on it while Eva cut the ropes that attached it to the harbor. However, their plan went a little south when someone noticed that they were sailing away.
"Hey! Someone's stealin' Cap'n Black's ship!"
Ezekiel watched the sailors near the dock run for their ships. "Wow, Chris put a lot of detail into this, eh?"
"A little too much detail if you ask me," Eva said, focusing on getting them out of there as fast as possible.
The Confessional: A fleet? Really?
Katie: After a minute, we had almost a whole fleet of ships chasing us! Is this Cap'n Black guy so important?
________________________
Eva: I'm starting to get really good at steering the ship! Okay, so I didn't lose those guys right away, but they didn't catch up immediately either.
Duncan, Pinkie, and Harold: The Nerd
Duncan and Harold were sitting on opposite sides of the ship fuming.
Pinkie looked over her shoulder at them. She sighed. "We're going to be landing at Castor asesino in a minute.
The Confessional: Really great insults, guys. Really.
Duncan: That guy is such an annoying nerd!
________________________
Harold: That guy is such an idiot!
The three docked at the island and walked up the beach towards a hut on a hill. They didn't notice the beaver charging at them until they heard him right behind them. All three of them glanced behind them and started to run for their lives to the hut. Pinkie got there first and tried to open the door. When that didn't work, she pulled off one of her bracelets and smashed the door open. They all ran inside and Pinkie closed the door. She held it shut until she heard the beaver go away.
The Confessional: I don't believe my eyes.
Duncan: Did I really see her break the door open with her bare hands?
________________________
Harold: I could have sworn she broke the door open…
Pinkie walked over to the man huddled in the corner. He was wearing a robe with a hood that covered most of his face. "Are you okay?"
"You! You broke down my door!" he shrank away from Pinkie.
Pinkie smiled at him reassuringly. "No, the lock must have been old. It opened when I jiggled it," she lied smoothly.
"It sure looked like you broke it,' the man muttered. Pinkie glared at Harold and Duncan as they nodded in agreement.
"Well, it doesn't matter. All we want is to ask you some questions about the Maclean treasure."
The hermit smirked. "Well then, you'll have to pay up."
She sighed and gave him all of their gold. He looked at it distastefully. "Is this all you got? 100 gold? You're not getting anything out of me."
Duncan grabbed the guy and held a knife to his throat. "Either you tell us, or I'll kill you."
Pinkie and Harold's jaws dropped at this sudden turn of events. The hermit squirmed but had no hope of escaping Duncan.
"Okay, okay, I'll tell you! It's hidden in the uncharted territory! There's an island in there!"
Harold looked at the map and saw no uncharted territory. The hermit sighed and pulled a string on the map, showing the uncharted territory on the opposite side of the Sea of Chris.
"Let's get going then," Pinkie suggested.
"I'm going to stay here. I have a plan to put everyone off the track," Duncan said, "Can I borrow your robe?" he asked the hermit.
The Confessional: Harsh, dude!
Duncan: I stole this knife off some guy in the prison. I guess threatening that guy was kind of harsh but this is virtual reality so obviously, the people aren't real.
________________________
Harold: While I hate the guy, Duncan's plan is pretty awesome.
________________________
Pinkie: Where in the world did Duncan get that knife?
Izzy and Noah: The Crazy
"I'm pretty sure that asesino means beaver," Noah said he and Izzy walked up the hill to the hut. Izzy tried the door and it swung open easily. A hooded figure was waiting for them.
"Do you know where the treasure is?" Izzy asked him.
The hermit nodded and pointed at a spot on a map on the wall. Izzy and Noah got closer to read it. "Encarcele Isla," Noah read. "I feel like that means something bad…."
Duncan smiled under the hood as the two left for Encarcele Isla.
Justin, DJ, and Sadie: The Homeschooled
The new crew of The Homeschooled had sailed through the night to get to their destination. They were headed for the island, Cappuci.
The Confessional: No more messing around!
Justin: Now that we've got another ship, there is no way I'm going to let this one get sunk!
________________________
DJ: This ship is never getting out of my sight! I will defend it like… like…. Like Izzy would!
When they arrived on Cappuci, they docked and Sadie went into town to ask about the Maclean treasure.
Eva, Ezekiel, and Katie: The Hawk
"What do you think we should do?" Katie asked, "These guys aren't going to be giving up any time soon."
Eva had sailed The Hawk over half of the Sea of Chris and the ships were still following them.
"Drop the anchor, eh."
Katie stared at Ezekiel. "What?"
"Drop the anchor, eh!" he said louder.
"No, I heard you, I was confused at why you'd say that."
Ezekiel smiled craftily. "I'm going to parley."
The Confessional: And we have a movie buff!
Ezekiel: Okay, I did get that out of Pirates of the Caribbean. Sadie made me watch it a bunch of times. It's her favorite movie, eh.
________________________
Katie: I'll bet he got that out of Pirates of the Caribbean. It's Sadie's favorite movie.
Ezekiel hung from the riggings and yelled at the ships following them. "I invoke the right of parley!"
A man with a feathered hat and a hook hand stood on the bow of the ship in the front. "Arrrr! What do ye have to parley with?"
Ezekiel smiled. "What do you think? This boat, eh!"
Pinkie and Harold: The Nerd
Pinkie and Harold were entering the uncharted territory.
"Now Harold, we have to be alert! We don't know what we could encounter here," Pinkie told him seriously.
"THE KRAKEN!" Harold yelled.
"Yeah, I guess we could meet the Kraken…."
Harold started to scream like a little girl. He ran below deck to the cannons. Pinkie turned around slowly and caught sight of the giant sea monster rising out of the ocean.
Eva, Ezekiel, and Katie: The Hawk
"Our terms are that you help us on our journey to find the legendary treasure, eh," Ezekiel told the pirate in the feathered hat. The man had turned out to be Captain Black, the pirate whose ship they had stolen.
"What makes ye sure that I won't gun ye down right now for stealing me ship?"
"Well, you wouldn't want to destroy your ship, Captain Black. You would have shot us before if you wanted to do so. Besides, when we find the treasure, you'll get the treasure and the ship, eh."
"Aye, those terms are ship shape with me."
Pinkie and Harold: The Nerd
Pinkie was attempting to cut off the Kraken's many arms as it tried to grab onto the top of the ship. "Harold!" she yelled while slashing at an arm. "Are you almost done loading the cannon?"
She was answered by a large boom. "Did that hit him?" Harold called to her.
Pinkie noticed that the Kraken didn't seem to be trying to drag down the ship anymore. She stuck her head over the edge of the ship and looked down. She saw the Kraken disappearing into the depths of an ocean, creating a giant whirlpool. "Hold on, Harold!" she yelled, running to brace herself against the wheel.
Justin, DJ, and Sadie: The Homeschooled
Sadie jumped onto the ship energetically. "I found someone who knew that some hermit knows where it is!"
"Where is this hermit?" Justin asked.
Sadie's face fell. "That's the bad news. He lives on the island, Castor asesino. It's infested with killer beavers."
"Well, how bad can these beavers be?" DJ said, smiling at his two crew members.
The Confessional: The Izzy Influence
Sadie: Wow, Izzy's really rubbing off on DJ. I wonder if that's a good thing, or a bad thing?
________________________
DJ: Those beavers sound really scary…. (He starts to look determined.) But I've got to become braver so I can keep up with Izzy!
Eva, Ezekiel, and Katie: The Hawk
"Arrrr! When we get to the island with the treasure, ye three will go in alone. I don't want to lose anymore 'o me crew to the beast inside."
"Aye, aye, Captain," Eva said sarcastically.
The Confessional: Do you know pirate lingo?
Eva: The designers of this game did a terrible job designing what Captain Black says. He starts every sentence with "Arrrr".
Justin, DJ, and Sadie: The Homeschooled
Justin, DJ, and Sadie were surrounded by the beavers on all sides. The three teens shrank closer and closer together as they stared at the beavers in fear. The beavers charged at them and when they backed up, the three had disappeared.
They materialized into the same camera room they had been inside during the war challenge. Chris was having an argument with the rest of the dead contestants.
"It is so not lame!" Chris said with a pout. "I worked hard on the pirate lingo!"
"Chris, the guy says 'arrrrr!' whenever he says anything," Gwen said.
Izzy and Noah: The Crazy
Izzy and Noah got off the ship and were immediately approached by a group of soldiers. "Don't move!" one of them said. "Pirates are not welcome here!"
"YOU'LL NEVER GET ME ALIVE!" Izzy yelled, and she jumped into the harbor. Noah sighed and ditched his sword as he jumped in after her.
Eva, Ezekiel, and Katie: The Hawk
"Arrrr! Ye mateys better be careful! The Kraken be in these waters," Captain Black roared to his crew.
"The Kraken's just a myth," Eva scoffed.
Katie looked in the water and noticed a plank floating there.
"The Nerd," Katie read. "I'm not sure the Kraken is a myth here…."
Izzy and Noah: The Crazy
Noah sputtered as he dragged himself out of the water. He collapsed on the sand of the beach.
Izzy stretched. "You're a good swimmer, Noah. You just don't have that much endurance."
Noah glared at her. "You just made me swim around the entire island twice. I'm not a body-builder or a long distance swimmer!"
"That was nothing! Once Izzy had to swim the English Channel to get away-"
Izzy launched into another one of her ludicrous stories as Noah started to fall asleep on the beach.
Eva, Ezekiel, and Katie: The Hawk
"Arrrrr! Ahoy, mateys! Thar be the island we be lookin' for! The Isle of Destiny!"
Eva, Ezekiel, and Katie looked at the island Captain Black was pointing at. It was a giant rock sticking out of the ocean with an entrance to a cave on the side. The three got into a lifeboat and rowed themselves over to the cave. The three slowly entered the cave and walked into the darkness.
"Ezekiel, Captain Black might leave us behind while we're in here," Katie said.
"Oh, he's planning on that, eh," Ezekiel told her. "I heard him telling his crew aboot it. But it doesn't matter because once we have the treasure we win, eh."
They saw a light up ahead. As they got closer, they saw a treasure chest in a ring of moonlight. They also saw Harold and Pinkie running towards the chest. Eva, Ezekiel, and Katie all started to dash for the chest. They were too late. Pinkie touched the chest and the world went black.
Everyone who wasn't dead appeared in the camera room with Chris and the dead.
"I thought you were dead!" Katie said to Pinkie and Harold. "I saw parts of your ship floating in the water!"
"Well, our ship did sink," Harold said, "But Pinkie managed to get us out of the whirlpool somehow."
"Let's watch a replay!" Chris cackled as Pinkie gave him a death glare.
The video screen in front of them flickered, and an image of The Nerd before it sank popped up. Pinkie and Harold were seen in one of the lifeboats on the side. They cut the ropes attaching it to the ship and dropped into the water. Pinkie started to row. The boat rocketed through the water and in no time at all, it was outside the whirlpool.
"Nice work, Pinkie!" Chris said, "As for the rest of you….. you all sucked!"
Interns had to restrain the contestants as they tried to kill Chris.
Yeah, I'm not going to be able to write much anymore because my pre-school activities have started....
I just finished the longest chapter I've ever written! Congrats to me! 5,000 words!
(1) The boat thing is a reference to the Lonely Island song, I'm on a boat. :)
