Chapter 5- Amerigato
Egg Shen stared back at Deacon. It was not possible.
"No!" the goose shouted back, "James is a mighty warrior! This will not happen!"
A crane from the cell opposite added, "I'll second that! He can not be beaten by anyone from Skull Island to MooShu!"
"Egg and Wing are correct!" Kobe Yojimbo shouted from nearby, "I am his sword teacher! I know most of his strengths!"
Kan Po piped up, "I saw a great destiny inside him ten years ago. He shall not die for a long time!"
"Be quiet you imbeciles! That idiot doesn't even know who killed his father!" a horse shouted from the corner of his cell.
"The horse has some sense," Deacon replied.
"This is not true, Subodai!" Egg corrected, "He does know who killed his father! I know who killed his father! Even the old goat knows that!"
"I heard that!" Kan Po shouted from his cage, "But it is true. We do know who killed the boy's father. Who framed you and caused James to get you exiled from the Amber Horde. Isn't that right, Deacon?"
Deacon was shocked, "That's why Hawkins and Shen betrayed the Armada!"
Rage filled Subodai. All this suffering, all this pain. The person who had caused this was James. However, the one who made James do his deeds was his father's killer. And he had just found him.
"You vile fiend!" Subodai shouted banging against his cell, "I swear that you will die by one of two hands. The hand of Hawkins, or my own hand. You caused the pain of many men. Someday, you shall suffer! Heed my words! YOU SHALL SUFFER!"
James and Zenobia peeked into the storage room.
"Too many guards to take out without our weapons," Zenobia whispered, "Now what?"
James smiled, "It's time to take them out shinobi style."
James looked around and noticed a can of oil behind them. He picked it up and oiled the door, to prevent it from squeaking. Then, he sneaked behind a Monquistador passing and assassinated him by holding his hand over his mouth and breaking his neck. Then, he took the monkey hair and ate it.
"Ugh," Zenobia whispered, disgusted.
Suddenly, James started to transform. In thirty seconds, he looked exactly like the monkey, only he was naked as his prison uniform was too big. Then, he took the monkey's clothes and armour. He now looked like a proper Monquistador. James walked into the storage room and looked at the other guards.
"Who are you and what do you want?" a guard asked him.
"I want to examine some weapons," James answered in a Monquistan accent, "In order to, er- ensure that they are, er- safe."
The guard nodded and James walked to the storage rooms, where he found six shuriken. There were six guards. Perfect. Putting on some gloves, James picked up the shuriken (due to the fact that if he touches anything that belongs to him with his bare hands, then he will transform back into his human form) and suddenly threw them straight into the hearts of the Monquistadors, before they could react. Though he was in another body, James hadn't lost his accuracy with shuriken. James then beckoned Zenobia into the room. Zenobia entered, feeling cautious. James handed Zenobia her clothes and weapons when she pointed them out and told her to get changed in the cupboard to the right of the room, while James puts on his clothes. Once Zenobia entered the cupboard, they got changed back into their pirate togs (after James turned back to his human form). James looked at Zenobia. She wore a blue jacket over her black and red pirate top. She also wore brown trousers and black shoes. On her back, she carried a large metal axe, which James was surprised she could carry.
"Right," James said, "Amerigato told us that he would recruit the prisoners in the east and west parts of the prison and told us to meet him at the south exit. We're here, in the north-west part of the prison."
James showed Zenobia a map of the Prison of Monquista.
Zenobia shook her head and pointed to the north part of the prison, "My first mate is there. She is the last member of my crew alive except for me. I'm not going without saving her."
James nodded and they ran to the north part of the prison, Zenobia carrying her and her first mate's weapon.
"Here she is!" Zenobia called out to James when they reached the cell of her first mate.
"Wait a minute..." James said as he saw the pirate, "Oh no, it's her."
The pirate looked up at James and Zenobia. She was a beautiful seventeen year old girl that had dirty blonde hair and cerulean blue eyes.
Reluctantly, James kicked the cell door open and the female pirate walked out of the cell. She walked over to James.
"Oh Bartleby," James muttered and forced a smile, "Emma... how, er- nice to see you again."
Emma slapped James around the face angrily and James was knocked to the other side of the room, "That was for cheating on me five years ago back in MooShu."
James rubbed his cheek, "Ouch. I regret that, alright? You were way prettier than the other girl anyway. By the way, how many worlds have you been kicked out of now? Three hundred and four?"
Emma took her large musket from Zenobia and started to walk round the corner to get changed, "Ten worlds."
"Not that far off, right?" James asked, "Maths ain't my best subject."
"You were two hundred and ninety four off you idiot," Emma said, annoyed, but somehow keeping herself contained.
James looked at Zenobia and put his finger on his lips. James then walked round the corner and peeped on Emma.
"Emma Everhart where in the Spiral did you possibly learn how to do the highly complicated thing called subtraction?" James asked.
Emma spun round to see that James was looking at her naked. Emma's cheeks inflated in anger but then deflated as she started to calm down.
"I would answer that question but unfortunately I've noticed something that makes me not want to answer."
"What would that be?" James asked her as he walked towards her naked body, preparing to touch her.
"It's because you're looking at me naked, you idiot!"
Emma punched James and he flew backwards and crashed into the prison wall.
James looked at Zenobia and asked her, "Do you get this often?"
Zenobia nodded her head, "She doesn't normally get this angry though."
Amerigato and the new recruits waited patiently for James, Emma and Zenobia to arrive. Amerigato could only wait two more minutes. Their time was almost up. The American cat turned around, preparing to leave. Then, he heard three sets of rushing footsteps behind him. He turned around to see James, Zenobia and Emma.
"Just in time too, Pirates," the cat said, "I was about to leave you behind, and without you The Opposition's goose is cooked!"
They then rushed out of the prison, only to be confronted by Monquistadors.
"These Monquistadors ain't no cowards," Amerigato said, "Too bad they ain't Banditoads or Frogerales. They were real cowards!"
The enemies charged at each other and clashed weapons. Blood was spilt, corpses fell, but in the end, the Monquistadors were all dead. Then the survivors of the battle walked out of the building. Then, they heard three thousand Monquistadors rush behind them. Amerigato growled.
"We can't lose any more soldiers!" he called out to them, "Commandeer a Monquistan ship and get back to Zenda. If I survive, I'll come back within a week."
James was shocked, "You're gonna take on all of them... on your own?"
Amerigato nodded, "It's the only way. Now go!" He raised his rapier, "Go! For The Opposition! Let blood be spilt!"
Reluctantly, they left Lt. General Amerigato to defeat the Monquistadors while they ran to the dock. Amerigato leapt into the air and quickly stabbed twenty Monquistadors. They then charged and attacked the cat, but he was clearly much stronger. He twisted his sword and annihilated the entire army in one technique. James' eyes widened when he saw this. Amerigato smiled and started to catch up with James and the others, but then another rapier blocked his path. El Gato Con Botas had just been challenged by King Fernando VI himself.
"We have unfinished business, Gato," he said.
Amerigato drew his sword, "Yeah. This is gonna be fun. En garde!"
Fernando attempted to strike Amerigato in the stomach, but the cat dodged and swung his sword, trying to kill Fernando. Unfortunately, Amerigato forgot that Fernando was tiny and the sword passed straight over him. This created an opening that was fatal. Fernando was about to strike the cat's back and kill him, but Amerigato started to dodge. But he wasn't fast enough. Fernando sliced Amerigato's wrist and chopped off his hand. The cat was disarmed. Fernando stabbed Amerigato's stomach in cold murder.
"No!" James shouted but it was too late.
Amerigato's lifeless body dropped onto the floor. The legendary El Gato Con Botas was dead.
