Pirate101 Fanfic Story Chapter 6 (a)
Jack's Request: Part 1
Lasko's spirit then continued "Of all our misdeeds, Manny's is the strongest; for he took something special from his love. Moe's misdeed is abandoning his former captain before he joined Ratbeard's crew. Jack's misdeed was spying on Captain Avery for the Cutthroat Sharks. Once all me shipmates have their troubles settled, we can talk about Ratbeard. What do ye say, young pirate?" Danny replied "Of course I can help rest your souls at ease." Lasko's spirit felt happy about this and told Danny that he can help any crewmember at any order. Danny then decided to help Jack first because he had a feeling that Skull Island will be in danger too. He then approached Jack and asked him what's the matter, as Jack replied "Well, like Lasko said, I used to work for Captain Avery before I joined Ratbeard's crew, but I was spying for him by the Cutthroats. They're up to something and it involves Avery and Skull Island. I don't want those Cutthroats to harm Avery and take Skull Island for themselves; I cannot bear the thought! I implore you young pirate, I need you to prevent the Cutthroat's plan from succeeding. I used to meet up with the Cutthroats down the tunnel right next to us and I was due to meet them after meal time but… well you can see what happened to me and me shipmates. Please stop them."
Danny then replied "Don't worry Jack, me and my crewmates will grant your request." Jack then thanked Danny graciously, as Danny, his crew and Queen Gummy swam through the water tunnel to another cavernous room and Bonnie said "The sharks aren't here Danny. They might be down in that water tunnel…" Danny looked at it and then sighed and said "How long can you guys hold your breath? I have a feeling we might be in that tunnel for 2 battles." Wing reached one of his wings into a side-pocket and grabbed and held out black pills, which he said they can help breathe in water. Danny, Bonnie, Wing, Chantal and Queen Gummy took the pills (they also cringed when they swallowed it) as Wing added that Louis is a sea-creature, so he doesn't require a pill. Danny and his crew then went in the water tunnel and they proceeded to an underwater space to see 4 crabs; one is bigger than the other crabs. Danny then readied his pistol and shield (Danny gets newer equipment in between certain chapters) as the smaller crabs came for him, when Bonnie used her signature power to damage the 3 crabs, as well as reducing their movement; Chantal shooting the centre crab with a critical shot, Louis rapidly shooting the left-most crab with 3 streams of bolts and Wing Chun flinging the last small crab near to the cave ceiling and Danny finished it off with 3 well placed shots on its underbelly. The Humongous Crab skittered angrily, but got hit by a thrown anchor by Queen Gummy and dazing it, prompting Danny, Bonnie and Chantal to fire at once and their Sparks collided into a bigger shot and finished off the Humongous Crab. Then a voice came from the tunnel and 4 Cutthroats came down from the tunnel and one of them said "'ey! You're not Jack! And you subdued Mr Buttersauce! (Danny and Bonnie snickered at this, then they quickly stopped) Get 'em, Lads!"
After a minute of fighting, the Cutthroat that spoke out from before said "All right, all right! The Cutthroats are banding together for the plan, but I ain't telling you anything about it!" Louis Le Bisque then said when Danny knocked out the Cutthroat "That Cutthroat won't talk for sure Captain, but there are other Cutthroat ships in the skyway, so we should 'convince' any of them to tell it to us." Danny nodded at this suggestion and then he and his crew went back to The Groaning Trap to battle the Cutthroat ships. Fortunately, the Cutthroats are more liable to talk (albeit slightly) when their ships are destroyed, so Danny engaged one in broadside combat and destroyed it with a shot cannonball into the inside of the enemy's cannon and blew the ship up, with the Cutthroats stuck on piles of floating boards. One of them then said "Okay, okay! The plan was to do Avery in! When he's 'gone', Skull Island will belong to the Cutthroats." Bonnie looks distressed and said "This is serious, Danny! We've gotta tell Avery about this!" Danny nodded immediately and sailed back to Skull Island docks. He and his crew then hurried to Avery's mansion and entered the mansion, as Danny said "Captain Avery! The Cutthroats are revolting!" Captain Avery then replied "They're revolting? (Danny and his crew nodded and panting hard as well) Well, I don't want to be in the same room when they eat their meals, but… (Danny raised his left brow and said "Nonononono! I mean they plan to take over Skull Island!") What? The Cutthroats plan to take over Skull Island?" Danny nodded as Avery continued with a scoff "They don't have the gumption! They don't have the brains to rule Skull Island OR Taxa- uh governance! Still… after that business with Fin, I can't be too cautious. If this is serious, you might want to tell Mordekai about this." Danny then nodded and he and his crew went to Buccaneer's Den to tell Mordekai of the Cutthroat's plot.
Mordekai felt very disturbed about this and said "I knew that Jack was suspicious. Mind you, I saw this coming, but the old man doesn't believe it would happen. I have a bad feeling about this. There's a Secret Dock underneath Swashbuckler's Den. I've no doubt that they'll sneak in from that way; I would. Go down there and tell Sergeant Seger to get more guards down there." Danny nodded and he and his crew headed off to the secret dock via sewer man-hole next to Swashbuckler's Den, then going through a make-shift gate to get to the Secret Dock. As they entered the Secret Dock, a wharf rat who Danny correctly assumed is Sergeant Seger turned and said "What the devil are you guys in here for?" Danny responded "We're here because of a request from Mordekai…" Seger rubbed his chin and said "I see. And what's the old fin-head's request, exactly?" Danny continued "He said to get more guards because the Cutthroats are planning to take down Avery and Skull Island itself and he suspects that they'll take the Secret Dock route." Seger then looked surprised and said "What? A plot against Avery? That can't be! Planning to take over Skull Island? That's terrible… Terrible that is that somebody had been clearly talking too much. We'd better nip these rumours in the bud, 'ey lads?" Danny then said unsurprisingly "Just so you know, I saw that coming." Seger and two guards – a dog swashbuckler and a frog gunslinger – drew their weapons against Danny and his crew. The Dog swashbuckler was easily taken down by Wing and Chantal respectively; the frog gunslinger got thrown to the ground by Queen Gummy and got subdued by a trap precisely placed by Le Bisque; however Seger fled the battle when Danny and Bonnie shoot their sparks into a bigger one and blasted onto Seger.
Danny and his crew gave chase to the end of the tunnel and saw Seger with two wharf rats and a Cutthroat, who said after noticing Danny and his crew "I told you we were found out!" The Cutthroat said, in an odd voice unlike other Cutthroats (so far anyway) "Yar! Avast, ye hearties! Ye'll havin' be no tales of tellin' the Captain now! All hands – Attack! Avast ye! Har!" Danny and his crew (save for Queen Gummy, who is howling out laughing) raised their right eyelids and Bonnie said "What did he say?" Danny shrugged, but they did battle anyway. Like the previous battle, the two wharf rats were easily handled with both Bonnie and Chantal, as Seger fled again, partly because of 'Sneaky Sharky McFin' (Danny and his crew snickered at the name) and partly because he got damaged by Le Bisque's Trap. And of 'Sneaky Sharky McFin', he got swept off his feet from a low kick by Wing Chun and got ultimately beaten (literally) by Queen Gummy, who stuck her sticky tongue on the 'Cutthroat' and repeatedly swung him side to side and clonked his head and back on either side and stopped, then clonked his head one more time and knocked him out. Le Bisque pondered on the Cutthroat because he didn't make any sense, as Wing suggested they go tell Mordekai of Seger's betrayal, which they agreed. After entering Buccaneer's Den, Danny explained Sergeant Seger's betrayal to Mordekai, who clenched his fists and said "This is worse than I thought…"
