Chapter 9- Mutiny

Emma was scrubbing the decks with Keira Moone, who was actually a former member of Zenobia's crew, and one of Emma's friends.

"How did you get aboard The Octavius?" Emma asked, "How did you escape Fort Elena?"

Keira laughed, "One question at a time, please. As you know, you and Zenobia were taken to Monquista when we were attacked by the Monquistan Navy. Everyone else died, except me, who ran off and got myself caught in Fort Elena. There, I met three men- a human and two cats, who I made a truce with and we made an escape plan. The human was Morgan Andrews, the guy Captain Hawkins tied to the side of his ship and the two cats were masterminds of trickery and smuggling. Their names were Captain Callum Beard and Professor James Meowiarty, both well known, though Callum was better known as 'Catbeard'. Using the associates of those two- such as Commodore Norrington and a shadowy figure whose name I do not know- we escaped. Or, most of us did. Morgan was slowing us down, so I threw him into a cell and locked him there. He cursed all three of us- particularly me- that day."

Emma nodded, "About the shadowy figure... did you see him?"

"I did," Keira confirmed, "He was a frog. He was dressed very smartly and he was quite fat. And he said something to Meowiarty, something like, 'my favour to you is now repaid'."

"The Frogfather," Emma told her, "The mastermind behind every black market, crime scheme and every other lawless thing from Gullet to Hamamitsu. He is the one that helped you out. Oh yeah, and I have bad news."

"What?"

"Zenobia's dead."

"Oh. That's a shame."

"Try to be a little more upset, I mean she was our friend."

"But if we get upset then Bones will kick our heads off of our shoulders and..."

"Alright, alright, I get the message."

Morganthe, Queen of the Shadow Web, boarded The Grim Reaver. Next to her was her pirate friend Vengeance Bill, a tall man with a mask covering his entire head, so you can't see his eyes or hair or anything. He sees out of a jade eyepatch from Azteca. On his belt, to the surprise of the former crew of Dona Angela, was Akaiken, James' red katana, along with Akaitanken, James' red wakizashi.

Old Scratch's eyeballs widened in his skull, 'There's no mistaking it...' he thought, 'I an' I know this mojo, the mojo that belong to Vengeance Bill. It be stronger, but if you imagine it weaker then it is impossible to differ those two.'

"Vengeance Bill," Old Scratch called out as he walked past him, "I an' I welcome ye. Does the hawk fly?"

Vengeance Bill nodded and said in a voice obviously put on, "It does. It is always with me."

Bonnie Anne leant over to Ratbeard, "What're they on about?"

"No idea," Ratbeard replied.

"What did ye call us for, Fred?" Ratbeard asked the one-eyed skeleton.

"I'm sure you all don't wanna be here," Dead Fred explained, "So we're gonna mutiny. Bobby Bones dies today."

"'Bout time too," Joe added, "I wanna go to Skull Island Town and build a crew.""

"Well, what are we waiting for?" Gaspard asked, "Let's go!"

"What about Vengeance Bill?" Emmett asked, "He'll beat us for sure. You could sense his mojo, couldn't you, Scratch?"

Scratch nodded, "That is true, but Bill won't be a problem. The real problem is Morganthe."

"How the bloody hell can you be sure?" Bonnie Anne asked Scratch, "I saw the newspaper, Bill's a monstrous killer!"

Scratch stared at them, "Ye still haven't figured it out?"

They all shouted back, "Be more cl-"

"Mutiny, is it?" Bill asked as he sat on one of the beams holding the room up, "Scratch, don't tell them. I will reveal the truth soon. Scratch is right, I am on your side. I specifically came here for two reasons. The first is a secret. The second is to get you guys outta here. I have a plan- here it is."

Scratchy Ol' Bones rushed into his son's quarters, "Bobby, my boy! It's Fred! He's stolen one of Joe's eyes and now he's a mutineer!"

Bobby Bones rushed onto the deck, only to be whacked on the head by the back of Gaspard's halberd and knocked out. The mutineers smiled and attacked the loyals. Bones McGee shot loads of loyals off of the ship to share the same fate as James. Bill chopped off the heads of loyals and enjoying himself doing it. Emma took on the giant skeleton, who's name was Dave. Dave swung his enormous cutlass at Emma and grazed her leg. Emma winced in pain as a second strike came. Suddenly, a red katana blocked the cutlass.

"Leave that one alone, tubby!" Bill shouted angrily and sliced the skeleton in half.

"Bill..." Emma said, surprised.

Bill looked around and saw that the mutineers were getting tired. He drew his refresh card and healed his team. Then he rushed into Bobby Bones' Quarters. Grey Lou was still in the glass container. Bill grabbed Bobby Bones' knocked out body and placed it against the glass. Bones' mojo trickled out of him and started to break the glass. Eventually, Bones ran out of mojo and died. But there was enough room for Grey Lou to get out.

"Put some clothes on," Bill said and handed her some clothes.

Bill and Lou charged out to attack and soon, they were all dead. Then they rose again.

"What in the name of crap...?" Gaspard began but then a cackle took over.

Morganthe landed onto The Grim Reaver and calmly stated, "You shall never win against me! Bill, you were too stupid to not bring back up! Give me the coin back!"

Bill took the coin out of his eyepatch. The coin was identical to the one Malistaire used to teleport away from Port Regal. Instead of handing it over, Bill flipped it.

"Flotsam."

When Bill caught it, he suddenly disappeared. Morganthe smiled.

"I should've known. Right, let's-"

A sudden cannon noise cut her off. A cannonball flew from a nearby ship and knocked Morganthe off the ship and into Celestia.

"Nice shot, Monkey!" Boochbeard shouted.

Next to Boochbeard was Mr. Gandry, who was standing behind the cannon, next to Vengeance Bill, but without his mask. Everybody dropped their jaws, except Scratch, who chuckled, at the sight of his red hair, his red eye next to the eyepatch and his red and white pirate togs.

"Captain Hawkins!" Emmett and Ratbeard shouted.

"HOW THE BLOODY HELL DO YOU KEEP SURVIVING CERTAIN-DEATH THINGS!" Emma shouted at him.

"Oh shit- it's him!" Bones McGee muttered to himself.

The battle had been won. Bobby Bones was dead, Morganthe was defeated, James miraculously survived and Jack was saved. El Dorado would soon belong to James.
