DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN THE RIGHTS TO ADVENTURE TIME & AC: BLACK FLAG
WELCOME BACK EVERYONE. AFTER WRITING SO MANY CHAPTERS I BELIEVE THIS DESERVES A GOOD ACTION SCENE.
NO FLAMES PLEASE :D
Finn finally entered the mess hall. He got his breakfast and saw Rick, Sheldon and Bruce sitting at their usual spot. He walk up to the table and sat with them.
"How's it going Finn?",asked Rick
"I'm doing great",replied Finn with a happy tone
"You seemed to be in a good mood",announced Bruce
"You bet I am",said Finn
"You saw something good?",asked Sheldon
"You might say that",replied Finn
"Well what is it?",asked the three in unison
Finn was about to answer when he remembered what Pepe told him.
"Actually Pepe said I can't tell you",replied Finn
"Oh", said the three in unison
"But I will tell you the news if you guys promise not to tell Pepe",requested Finn
They all nodded to keep Finn's secret.
"Remember when I told ya about my dream?",asked Finn
"Yeah",replied the three in unison
"Last night I finally saw her face",said Finn
The three were shocked upon hearing the news.
"That's great",replied Bruce
"Are you gonna tell us what she looks like?",asked Rick
Finn shook his head.
"Can't. Pepe said I should wait for the Captain",replied Finn
"Oh",said the three in unison
"That reminds me. Pepe wants to meet you 3 in his cabin for a check up",announced Finn
Rick, Sheldon and Bruce knew what this means. So they finished their meal and started to head out the mess hall to meet Pepe. Before leaving, Finn stopped them for a moment.
"Remember, don't say anything."
"Don't worry, we won't",said Rick
After they left Finn continued eating his breakfast. Once he was done, Finn grabbed his plate and utensils and put it in a pile where others will be washed soon. He noticed Mark talking to Chef Paul. Whatever it was seem to be important because before Finn got to them, Mark hurriedly left the mess hall.
"Everything all right Paul?",asked Finn with a worried tone.
"Uh yes, everything's alright, Finn",replied Chef Paul trying to act cool
Finn thought something was off but shrugged it off.
"Okay then. See yeah later",said Finn
Finn went topside to start his chores. He noticed that Rick, Sheldon and Bruce were nowhere in sight. He figures that they were still with Pepe. So for now all he had to do was do his chores while he waits for the Captian.
Mean while, Reggie's goons were doing nothing except looking out for the cabin boy. A couple hours later, one of them sees the cabin boy.
"Is that him?",asked crewman #1
"Yup",replied crewman #3 looking at the cabin boy
"Lets go",ordered crewman #1
Finn was scrubbing the deck with other crewmen when he suddenly heard someone calling for help. He looked up to see the cabin boy getting beat up by the 3 crewmen that gave Finn the look on his first tour of the ship.
"P-Please get away from me",said the cabin boy
"We just wanna talk",said crewmen #2 as he punched him in the gut
Finn couldn't watch any longer. So he got up and ran up to the group with a furious face.
"Leave him alone!",demanded Finn
"This doesn't concern you pipsqueak",replied crewman #1
Finn felt even more enraged from that comment and decided to take matters in his own hands. One of the crewman was about to lay another punch to the cabin boy, when Finn jumped up to give a round house kick to the first crewman he saw and knocked him down. The other two picked their fallen comrade.
"You should've just walked away kid",said crewman #1 adjusting his jaw
Finn knew he had no problem fighting against those bullies but that would leave the cabin boy unprotected. Luckily, he remembered the whistle that Mark gave him incase of emergencies. Finn took the whistle out and blow on it as hard as he could.
The three crewmen knew what was happening.
"We gotta leave before..."
"Before what?"
They turned to see Mark Castle glaring at them.
"What's the meaning of this?",asked Mark with a anger tone
Before they said anything, Finn interjected.
"Those goons attacked this kid for no reason."
Mark took a look at the cabin boy's condition. Now he was more furious.
"We can expl..."
"Save it!",yelled Mark,"You three are to be confined to the brig until further notice."
Mark ordered 5 sailors to escort Reggie's goons to the brig. Then he return his attension to Finn and the cabin boy.
"How is he?",asked Mark with a calmer yet worried tone
"He's hurt really badly",replied Finn being worried as well
"Then lets get him inside",said Mark
Mark and Finn carried the cabin boy to the Captain's cabin. When they entered, Finn sees Captain Johnson, Pepe, Chef Paul, Rick, Sheldon, and Bruce. Everyone, except Mark & Finn, were shocked to see the cabin boy's condition. They brought him to the Captain's bed so Pepe can nurse him.
"What happen?",asked Captain Johnson
Finn explained his side of the story to everyone. They were all glad that he made it on time.
"Well done boy",said Captain Johnson
"It was reckless of you to do that on your own, but at least you were fast on your feet",said Mark
Then they gave their attention to Pepe, whom was now done nursing him.
"How is he doc?",asked Rick
"He only suffered some minor injuries, but he'll be alright",answered Pepe
They all sighed in relief upon hearing the news. Now they focused their attention on Finn.
"Now Finn, Pepe told me the news about your last dream and said that you finally saw the girl who calls your name",said Captain John,"Is this true?"
"Yes sir",replied Finn
"What does she look like?",asked Captained Johnson
"Well she wears the same clothes as I do,has long blonde hair, blue eyes, wears a hat that once looked like mines but with bunny ears",said Finn as he described her
"Is that all?",asked Captain Johnson
"Well judging by her age, she had to been at least 5 or 6 years old at the time",answered Finn
Everything went silent after that. Everyone, but Finn, knew that what he said was true. Then Captain Johnson broke the silence.
"How do you feel now that you know what she looks like?"
"Well happy, but sad",responded Finn
"What do you mean?",asked Captain Johnson
"I mean I'm happy that I got to see her face and to find out that I'm not the last human on Earth, but I have no idea where she is",responded Finn feeling down
Captain Johnson knew it was time to come clean.
"She's at an island called Kensington."
Finn looked up after hearing that answer.
"Then I got to...Wait. How do you know that?",asked Finn being confused
The Captain didn't say anything. All he did was go to the top drawer of his desk, took out some sort of piece of paper and hand it to Finn. Finn looked at the paper amd realized that it's a photograph.
"What does this have to with..."
"Just look at it",said Captain Johnson interrupting him
So Finn took a closer look at the photograph. All he saw was a family of royalty. But that's when he saw the girl at the endof the photo. She looks just like how he described her. Then he saw the younger version of the Captain. He was shocked and angry when he realized the truth. When he looked up, not only did he saw the Captain look down with a guilt expression but everyone did as well. This angered Finn even more.
"You knew",said Finn with an angered tone,"The whole time I was trying to figure out who she is, you guys kept it quiet for the last two months."
"We had a good reason",said Mark," We had to make sure that your the one we're looking for."
"What are you talking about?",asked Finn being confused
"You see, she hoped one day that you be alive and the two of you will be reunited",said Pepe
"We were like family to her when we visit and tried to make her feel better",said Chef Paul
"Heck, even when we do buisness trades accross at sea, half of us took the time to ask anyone about you",said Rick
Finn felt terrible after hearing their explanation. He had no idea how important he was to this girl and more importantly, they were trying to look for him.
"I'm sorry",said Finn
"No my boy, we're the ones that should be sorry",said Captain Johnson,"You have every right to be angry at us."
"I wouldn't say that I was angry, just upset",said Finn
"Then forgive me if what I'm about to ask you is out of line",said Captain Johnson
Finn was now all ears.
"We believe that Reggie is about to conduct a mutiny",said Captain Johnson
Finn had no idea what "mutiny" is, but hearing, Reggie, means something bad.
"How can you be sure?",asked Finn
"Before we found you, some of our supplies have gone missing and everytime someone had done inventory check, more of our supplies keep disappearing",explained Captain Johnson
"But how do you know it was him?",asked Finn
"I can explain that",answered some random voice
Everyone turn around to see the cabin boy struggling to get up.
"Easy there kid. You've been through alot",said Finn
"My name's not kid, its Jeffrey",said Jeffrey
"Oh, sorry. Mines Finn",said Finn
They both shook hands.
"You're not in any conidtion to talk right now, boy",said Mark
"I'm fine, sir",said Jeffrey
"You almost got killed",protested Pepe
"But I didn't",said Jeffrey
"What about my question?",asked Finn
"You see Finn, Reggie thought he was so careful, but what he didn't count on was the cabin boy hiding in plain sight",explained Captain Johnson
"So you send him on a suicide mission?",asked Finn almost getting angry
Before answering, Jeffrey intervene.
"Actually, I volunteered before they knew everything."
"Well either way you shouldn't go by yourself",said Finn
"Oh, like when you were by yourself at sea without any supplies in that small boat",said Jeffrey
Finn had to give the kid that one as he remember how he almost died.
"Tush",said Finn
Everyone int the room started snickering. Finn felt confused.
"It's touche, Finn",said Rick
"Oh",said Finn feeling a bit embarressed
"Putting that aside, ever since we found you, Jeffrey had been spying on Reggie and found something that could affect all of us and you",said Captain Johnson
"Me?",questioned Finn
"Yes",answered Captain Johnson," Who ever hired Reggie obviously ordered him to keep you alive for a profit."
"As in for slavery?",asked Finn with an almost angered tone
Captain Johnson nodded.
"We know this is out of line Finn, but will you help us?",asked Pepe
Finn looked at everyone in the room. They were all expecting an answer from him. Before answering, Finn had just one question.
"Just one question",said Finn,"Are you taking me to this girl?"
"The second we found out about you, I told Mark to take us to Kensington",replied Captain Johnson
"I don't suppose you'll tell me more about her?",asked Finn
"We think its best she tell you herself",replied Captain Johnson
Finn knew what he must do.
"I'll do it",said Finn
