DISCLAIMER I DONT OWN THE RIGHTS TO ADVENTURE TIME & AC: BLACK FLAG
BOY FINN HAS ALOT ON HIS PLATE. FIRST, HE FINALLY SEES WHAT THIS MYSTERY GIRL LOOKS LIKE. THEN, JUST AS HE THOUGHT HE WAS SO CLOSE, REGGIE INTERFEERS. WILL FINN BE ABLE TO STOP REGGIE BEFORE HE SUCCEEDS?
LETS READ AND FIND OUT.
Everyone sighed in relief with Finn's answer. Then Jeffrey said something.
"Excuse me, Captain."
Everyone turned to see the cabin boy.
"With your permission, I would like to assist Finn with the investigation."
"I admire your enthusiastic, but you're in no condition to walk",said Captain Johnson
"Actually sir, he's not that injured and I believe having some back up might do some good",said Pepe
Captain Johnson looked concern and turn to Jeffrey.
"Are you able to walk?"
Jeffrey nodded.
"Sigh...alright",said Captain John,"I want you two to be careful. We don't know if Reggi have any accomplances."
Then Finn thought of something.
"I think we already did."
"What do you mean?",asked Captain Johnson
"What if the crewmen that attacked Jeffrey knew he was the spy?",asked Finn
"That explains why they attcked him",said Mark
"And I bet they're not in the brig",said Bruce
All of a sudden, someone barged into the Captain's Cabin. Finn and Mark both knew that was one of the sailors that escorted Reggie's goons to the brig.
"Sir, the prisoners escaped!",exclaimed the sailor
"What happen?",asked Mark
"We were about to lock up the prisoners when a couple of balls show up, which turned out to be knockout gas. When we woke up, their cell was empty",explained the sailor
"Reggie",said everyone except the sailor
"Should I sound the alarm?",asked the sailor
"No",replied Captain Johnson
"Sir?",questioned the sailor in confusion
"We'll handle this. Just get back to work",ordered Captain Johnson
"Aye, sir",said the sailor before exiting the Captain's Cabin
"He's faster than we thought",stated Captain Johnson
"No doubt he's already covering his tracks",stated Mark
"Then I guess we better get started",said Finn
"Yeah let's go...ow",said Jeffrey trying to get up
Everyone looked at Pepe for an answer.
"I said he wasn't that injured, but that doesn't mean he's okay to go out yet."
Pepe reaches inside his coat and took out some sort of bottle.
"Drink this",ordered Pepe after giving Jeffrey the bottle
After drinking the medicine, Jeffrey just went out cold.
"Don't worry, its just a side effect from from the medicine. It will heal his injuries, but he'll be out for at least the rest of the day",explained Pepe
"In the mean time, we should all return to our duties",said Captain Johnson
Everyone, except Jeffrey, nodded in agreement. They were about to leave when Captain Johnson called Finn.
"You're welcome to have a little break Finn, after what happen today."
Finn nodded and left leaving Captain Johnson to watch over the cabin boy. During the day, Rick, Sheldon and Bruce were making up the hours they missed on their chores while Finn was enjoying his break and having an apple for snack. He was still deep in thought about who the girl was.
He understood what the Captain about her telling about who she is, but wants to know more about her.
"Uh, Rick",called Finn
"Yeah, Finn",replied Rick
"I know that Captain Johnson said that this girl will tell me about herself, and I'm guessing that getting a name from you guys is out of the question. So all I ask is; What was she like",asked Finn
Before Rick could answer, he looked at Sheldon and Bruce to see if it was okay. The two of them gave him an approving nodd.
"When we first met her, she was very shy and couldn't trust anyone at the time. But over the years she been able to open up about who she is. However, she wouldn't tell us where she come from",explained Rick
"How come?",asked Finn
"We don't know",replied Rick,"All we know was that when we tried asking her, she felt afraid thinking we might take her back so we just let that go. But there's one thing she has that you got, kid."
"What's that?",asked Finn
"Bravery",replied Rick
Finn was moved by that anser. Now he really want to meet this girl. Of course, he had to deal with Reggie first. After taking his break he went back to finish his chores with the rest of the crew.
Later, the sun was setting and everyone finished their chores. While Finn was chatting with Rick, Sheldon and Bruce, he was called out by someone.
"Finn, over here!"
He turns to see Jeffrey coming out of the Captain's Cabin.
"Hey, Jeff. How you feeling?",asked Finn
"Doing great",replied Jeffrey,"I feel like a new man."
Finn was glad that his friend was better. Then Jeffrey asked an obvious question.
"Ready to get started?"
Finn nodded and turned to Rick, Sheldon and Bruce.
"I'll see you guys later",said Finn
"Okay, but be careful",said Rick with a concern tone
As soon as Rick and the others left, Finn turned back to Jeffrey's attention.
"So what should we do first?",asked Jeffrey
"We start from where you saw those barrels being stored",answered Finn
Jeffrey nodded and started going down to one of the lower levels of the ship. They kept walking 'til they reached the very door that stored the missing barrels.
"Is this the place?",asked Finn
"Yup",replied Jeffrey
"Lets go",said Finn
Finn took out his grass sword before Jeffrey turned the nob of the door incase of an ambush. When Jeffrey opened the door, Finn rushed in with his sword in hand. But when he entered, he sees the whole room empty and clean. It looked like no one was using it.
"Boy, they cleaned up fast",stated Jeffrey
As Finn was walking back, he felt one of the floor boards a little lose. So he stuck his grass sword between the lines to pry the boards. Once he got one of the board out, he flip it over and saw white paint stains on it.
"They're fast, but not well on cleaning up",said Finn
"And they thought we wouldn't notice",said Jeffrey,"But I still don't get why they need barrels and paint.
Finn and Jeffrey decided to go back to the top part of the ship. They noticed a little bit of the crew did not go to the mess hall for supper. So they go around asking everyone if they saw something strange. Sadly they kept saying no. They were gonna stop for the night before they heard some splashing sounds.
Finn and Jeffrey went to the port side of the ship. They look to the back part of the ship and noticed someone throwing a barrel to the ocean.
"Who's ever doing that is in the mess hall",stated Finn
So Finn and Jeffrey went down to the mess hall. They see the crewmen enjoying their meal. When walking around, Finn noticed Rick, Sheldon and Bruce at their spot. Sheldon looked up and told the others that Finn and Jeffrey were there. They turned and motioned them to come over.
"Hey guys, how's your search going?",asked Rick
"We're getting close",replied Finn,"We also saw someone throwing a barrel and itd coming from here."
"Then you might wanna check with Chef Paul",suggested Rick
"We will. Thanks guys",said Finn
Finn and Jeffrey went to Chef Paul. He was giving food to the rest of the crewmen in line. He noticed Finn and Jeffrey approaching him.
"Hello Finn and Jeffrey",greeted Chef Paul,"How goes the investigation?"
"Can we talk in private Chef Paul?",asked Finn with a concern tone
Chef Paul nodded and asked one of the kitchen staff to cover him. So they go somewhere private so that no one can hear them.
"What's up?",asked Chef Paul
"Someone's been throwing barrels over board and we believe that its coming from in here",answered Finn
"Here?",questioned Chef Paul
Jeffrey and Finn nodded.
"Is there any room you have access to",asked Finn
"That would be the food storage room",answered Chef Paul
So Chef Paul guided Finn and Jeffrey to the food storage room. When they arrived at the door, they noticed that the lock had been damaged. They went in and saw some of the barrels that weren't thrown out. They also noticed that they're marked with a white "X".
"What does this mean?",asked Jeffrey
"I think they're sending out a message",stated Finn
"But to whom?",asked Chef Paul
"Maybe to Reggie's boss",answered Finn,"We should to this to the Captain."
The three of them went to see Captain Johnson. When they got in, they reported what they found. Then the Captain reported this news to everyone by using the Ship's announcer to locate Reggie and his accomplinces for attempted mutiny.
"You two did a wonderful job",complimented the Captain,"Once they're captured, we'll present enough evidence to the court to have them imprisoned for life."
"That's good to hear",said Finn
"I suggest you all eat and rest",requested Captain Johnson,"It won't be long before Reggie is found."
Everyone nodded and left. They all felt rejoiced after today. They thought nothing can go wrong. The next day, everyone was doing their chores, but Finn kept thinking why they haven't found Reggie or his goons?. Some of the crewmen were saying that they stole one of their row boats, but all were accounted for. So where could they be hiding?
While Finn was scrubbing the deck, a paper airplane landed next to him. He looked around to see where it came from. When he picked it up, he saw some letters so he opened up and was shocked on what he read.
"Come down below deck. If you tell anyone, the kid dies."
He also sees a picture of Jeffrey being tied up and and Reggie holding a knife to his kneck.
Finn gulped and got up. Bruce noticed this and asked.
"Where you going, Finn?"
Rick and Sheldon also looked up.
"we're running low on soap, so I thought I go get some more",replied Finn
"Alright, but hurry back",said Bruce
Finn nodded and left. He felt bad for lying, but it was for Jeffrey's sake. So went down the ladder and as he turned, he sees Jeffrey still tied up. Finn ran up to him but was tackled to the floor by one of Reggie's goons.
"Pay back time."
Finn recognised that voice. It was one of the accomplinces the he kicked to the face. He held him up while the other 2 took turns punching him.
"Alright, thats enough",said voice
Finn managed to lift his head to see Reggie emerging from the shadows.
"You should've left things alone kid",said Reggie,"Now normally I would just kill you, but then I would lose my bonus."
"I'm going to get you for this",said Finn while struggling
"Ha! You and what army?",asked Reggie
"Right here!",yelled a mysterious voice
They turned to see Rick, Sheldon and Bruce coming out from the crates.
Take care of them boys",ordered Reggie
Before they made a move, Bruce used his laser eye to cut a rope that was hold a net. When Finn saw this, he bit the thump on the goon's hand inorder for him to let go. Once he was free, Finn managed to get out of the way before the net landed. Reggie's goons couldn't get out.
"Should've hired better goons",said Reggie
"Its over, Reggie",stated Rick,"Give yourself up."
He looks over at Jeffrey and smiles evily.
"Fine",said Reggie,"Right after I kill that snitch."
Reggie started running towards Jeffrey with a knife in hand. Finn and the others came running after him, but Reggie was to far ahead. Then Finn thought of something.
"Bruce, I need you to throw me as hard as you can",requested Finn taking out his leaf blade
Bruce saw this and smirked.
"Gotcha."
He grabs Finn and throws him like a football. He goes through the air with his sword pointing at Reggie. Reggie was close enough to stab Jeffrey.
"Say goodbye,kid."
Before Reggie was about to strike, he felt something from his back to his chest. He looked down to see something green poking out of his chest. He looks back and saw that it was Finn killing him from behind.
"Son of a Gob."
It was the only thing Reggie said before Finn took his sword out of his chest. Blood was spilling from front to back. Reggie dropped his knife so he can use what ever strength he had to stop the blood from coming out. However, he lost so much of it, he fell to his knees and then to the floor. He looked to see the Finn's face along with his friends before shutting his eys forever.
Finn shook the blood offhis sword before cutting Jeffrey free.
"You okay, Jeffrey?",asked Finn with a concerned voice
"Yeah, they caught me by surprise",replied Jeffrey then feeling a little sad,"I'm sorry for letting that happen."
"It's okay",said Finn reasurring him,"It's over now."
Finn turned to Rick, Sheldon and Bruce.
"Thanks, guys. But how did you know?"
"If you needed soap, you have to take your bucket of water with you",replied Rick
"Plus, you dropped this",said Sheldon holding up a photo of Jeffrey
"I'm sorry guys",said Finn feeling down
"It's okay",said Rick,"You did what you had to do."
Everyone smiled from their victory. However, it was short lived when the ship's bell was ringing. They went top side to see what was happening. So they went to the helm where Mark and Captain Johnson are.
"What's going on Captain?",asked Finn
"We've been spotted by pirates",replied Captain Johnson
"We can take them right, sir?",asked Sheldon feeling confident
"Actually, its much worse",said Mark
"What do you mean?",asked Bruce
"Look there",said Mark pointing South
When they turned, everyone, besides Finn, were shocked to see what's out there.
"What ship is that, Captain?",asked Finn
"Its a Man-O-War, Finn",answered Rick,"A ship like that can sink us right now."
"Maybe that's who Reggie was signaling",stated Jeffrey
"Reggie?",asked Mark and the Captain
"Yeah",replied Jeffrey,"He kidnapped me to lure Finn."
"And what of Reggie?",asked Mark
They didn't know what to say before Finn answered.
"I killed him before he was about to stab Jeffrey."
"Well at least you were able to stop him",said Captain Johnson
"So how are we gonna get out of this, Captain?",asked Sheldon
"I don't know",replied Cpatain Johnson," But I'm not gonna surrender my ship to those pirates."
Everyone, including Finn, was thinking of a way to get out of this. It was either; A: Fight and die trying or B: Sink the boat with everyone. However, the second plan was not happening. Suddenly, Finn heard thunder. He looked up to see lighting as well. That's when Finn got an idea.
"I got an idea, Captain."
"What is it, Finn?",asked Captain Johnson
"We can sail through the storm",answered Finn
Everyone turned to see the storm that Finn mentioned. They didn't know if that was a good idea. Then, Mark said something.
"Finn your bravery is admirable but..."
"Listen, we all know that Reggie's boss wants the ship and me",stated Finn,"So there's no way he'll back off."
"You do know we might not make it out alive, Finn",stated Captain Johnson
"Yeah, but neither will they",said Finn feeling confident
Everyone was surprised by his confidence. So they went with his plan. Captain Johnson told everyone to set sail to the storm. The crew hesitated, but thought it was better than getting attacked by pirates.
Mean while, at the enemy ship.
"Sir, the Albatross is sailing towards the storm",said the pirate sailor
"It seems that Reggie has failed us",said th pirate boss
"What should we do?",asked the pirate sailor
"We go after them of course",answered the pirate boss
"A-Aye sir",said the pirate sailor being afraid of talking back to his boss.
The enemy ship continued its chase against the Albatross through the storm. The waves were very rocky, rain was coming left and right, and if that wasn't bad enough, rocks appeared from under water. The Albatross was getting little scrapes while the enemy ship was getting some holes.
Finn was helping out the crew of the Albatross tying the ropes to make sure the saild are fastened. Then suddenly, a lightning strike appeared out of nowhere hitting a little bit of the middle mast that carry the crow's nest. The sailor in the crow's nest managed to get out and grabbed the rope in mid air. But he couldn't hang on for much longer.
Everyone noticed this and were trying to find a way to save him. Finn remember the trick Bruce showed him with the hook and rope. Rick saw what Finn was about to do and tried to stop him.
"Finn, its too dangerous!"
"Dangers my middle name!",yelled Finn before kicking the lever to bring him up. Once he was up, Finn saw the sailor's hand slipping on the rope and he was nowhere near him. Then the sailor was falling. Finn managed to find another rope and swing himself just in time to catch the sailor, before going back to were he started.
"Kid (pant), you saved my life",said the sailor
"Its what I do",said Finn
The Albatross finally got out of the storm's wrath safely. Unfortunately, the enemy vessel didn't. Finn along with everyone, managed to catch the enemy vessel before it sank. It was a big victory for the crew of the Albatross. After celebrating, they repair the middle mast and continued sailing to Kensington.
2 months later, Finn was soundly a sleep in his bed before he was woken up. When he opened his eyes, he sees Pepe.
"Something wrong Pepe?",asked Finn while yawning
"No, Finn",replied Pepe
"Then why the wake up call?",asked Finn
"Because we're here, Finn",answered Pepe
Finn knew what he meant. He bolted out of bed and quickly washed his face and teeth. Soon they were top side. Finn's excitement went down when he saw this fog.
"I can't see a thing and the sun isn't up",said Finn
"Why don't you go up and see",said Pepe while smiling
So Finn grabbed the hook attached to the rope and kicked the lever to go up. Once he arrived, he could see the sun rising. When he turned around, he saw the island of Kensington in view sight.
"I'm here",stated Finn,"And I'll be looking for you, mystery girl."
