Chapter 12- A Tigers Great Secret
Fang, destined to finally rid himself of Foxy, now knows what he must do.
Foxy, his crew, and all the other famous pirates and their crew watched as Fang, slow down once close to the entrance. Fang had his ship far enough away from the entrance that a ship could go through and pull up beside his. Foxy, still enraged quite a bit about Freddy and Goldies death, now had the same fire burning inside when it happened. Vixey, standing at Foxy's side, also, hatred.
"I want you and Tiggy to stay here." Foxy asked her. She didn't argue. Tiggy and her stayed behind whilst Foxy and his crew set out to confront Fang, and end this conflict forever. Tiggy, made a tough decision. She sneaked out and followed them. She made sure Foxy didn't see her board the ship as they were going after Fang. Sparky, and Wolfy, were left with the other pirates, along with Vixey, who now realized Tiggy was gone. She panicked, she told the other great pirates that she was gone. Sparky, spoke.
"Please, we never wanted this, we know how to end this. It's not Fang, it's that witch!" Sparky said. Vixey was first to look at him.
"You know how to end this? Then why didn't you say so earlier?" Vixey said, kinda annoyed. Sparky shrugged.
"Yeah, if you'll let us go, we'll lead you to the witch." Sparky said back, hoping she'd listen.
"Take me there."Vixey said, Sparky looked surprised.
"I'll tell ya this, it's not that far. Maybe a few minutes from here. You'll have to get past Fang."Sparky said.
"We'll go the back way. Since there are two entrances."
Foxy neared Fang, ever closer. Foxy wanted Fang, his brother, dead now. All the wrong he has done, he must pay.
Fang, patiently waited for him, he knew what he was going to do. Foxy and his crew, along with Foxina, pulled up beside Fang's ship. Fang's ship now, looked burned to a charcoal black, withered, old, like an abandoned ghost ship. Yet the only thing on it now, was Fang. Foxy's ship, came to a halt. Fang has stepped up to the edge of his ship, to starboard side, Foxy, port side. The two loomed at each other for a while. Before Foxy broke the erie silence.
"Fang, today, you answer for your crimes against all pirates, citizens, and the pirate code." Foxy stated. Fang could have cared less. What puzzled Foxy the most was Fang's eyes. His eyes were a bright gold. They used to be a cold red.
"All of the pain, death, and disgrace, you yet still don't know oppression?" Foxy asked, demanding an answer. Fang's eyes focused on something, not Foxy. Foxy noticed. He turned, he saw Tiggy standing there, as if waiting for something.
"You see she wants to talk. Please state why you are here darling." Fang teased Foxy, but asking Tiggy.
"I told you to stay back with Vixey." Foxy whispered to Tiggy. Tiggy loomed stiff, as if not afraid of anything.
"Foxy, all of you, I need to tell you something. Foxy, remember when you saved me from Fang?" Tiggy reminded Foxy. Foxy nodded.
"Well, it was almost accidental." Foxy and the crew became wide eyed.
"I loved Fang, yet I hated what he did. Plundering villages, taking the women, molesting them, killing innocent." Tiggy, continued.
"I began spending time to myself, for a while, before Fang got concerned. And, I told him all the things I didn't like, he just said it's what they do. So, yet even though I thank you for being kind, and generous, and saving me, but I love him." Tiggy had everyone in a walked closer to the port side of the ship, now facing Fang. She signaled Fang, a wave. Fang, astonishingly, waved back.
"Tiggy, he's dangerous. You need better." Foxy tried to explain, to reason her out.
"Dangerous? More like optimistic and bold." Fang interrupted.
"Fang, I'm sorry, but I love you. I'm sorry, but I have to leave you." Tiggy said, Foxy now feeling better that Tiggy had to leave that dangerous man. Fang, something in him snapped.
"We'll that's too bad, we could have been together again." Fang, not anyone expected, flipped out a pistol. The crack the the air, was all that seemed to transpire. Tiggy, fell the ground, the bullet hadn't hit her anywhere fatal, but cause a lot of pain. It had hit and went through her right arm. Now on the ground, holding her arm, crying out in pain, everyone rushed to her. Foxy got into his battle ready mood. He was about to kill.
"You said did I know what oppression was? Of course I do. It means fighting to the death." Fang said as Foxy was about to rip out his pistol and sword.
"I have never done anything to you. Have I not?" Foxy questioned.
"You. You have taken something away from me, so why can't I take something of yours?" Fang said, aiming at Tiggy head. Foxy grew tense. Foxy would have to end this right now.
"Nothing, now, can take this moment away."Fang said, he now began to pull the trigger.
Vixey, Wolfy and Sparky were making their way to the witches hut. Vixey, herself, also was about to end the witch's rein of voodoo and curses.
"I'm telling you, she is not meant to be taken as just an old lady. She can, and will kill if needed."Sparky warned Vixey. Vixey, didn't even look at Sparky, but did acknowledge the warning. If it would come to that, Vixey was ready. The witch's hut, was now in view.
