Pirate101 Fanfic Story Chapter 12
A one-eyed rabbit and a new magical ally
The Frogfather then regretfully explained that he cannot lead Danny and his crew to Ratbeard, as Ratbeard himself told the Frogfather, as a favour, not to reveal where he is hiding. However, he can pass on Danny's favour to an individual named One-Eyed Jack in Flotsam and added that his parent's ship is docked at the private dock, so he can claim it. Danny thanked the Frogfather and he and his crew went out of Gullet and back into Jonah Town; Gaspard then led them to the dock and reclaimed Danny's parent's ship. Danny then renamed his parent's ship The Avenging Angel in honor of their memory and they set off for Flotsam in Flotsam Skyway. Gaspard took the helm as Danny is appreciating his family's ship, as Bonnie asked Danny on what he plans to do with Ratbeard once they got him and Danny said "I plan to bring him to justice… but there must be something we couldn't see from Traitor's Cave." Bonnie had that same feeling, but decided to hold off on it for now because they just arrived in Flotsam. They then got off The Avenging Angel and went upward to a hoist and were raised upward on it to where The Black Spot Tavern is. Danny and his crew then entered The Black Spot, as Danny decided to talk to the barman and asked him on where One-Eyed Jack is (even though Danny is fully aware that he IS talking to One-Eyed Jack, but sensed that he's rather cautious, so he decided to play along).
The barkeep named 'Barkeep Flopsy' told Danny and his crew that One-Eyed Jack is his 'uncle' and he might be at Mustang Sally's Flophouse. Danny then 'thanked' him for the 'info' and they headed off for the Flophouse, as Bonnie felt the same thing as her boyfriend. When they entered, they saw a female Mustang Swashbuckler fending for herself against 4 Dog pirates and Danny, Bonnie, Wing and Gaspard leapt into battle. Danny used Gunnery on the Dog Pirates as Wing Chun grabbed Gaspard by his feet – and Gaspard held his Halberd out – and spun around rapidly, taking down the Dogs. Sally then thanked Danny and his crew for the assistance and told them that One-Eyed Jack hasn't come today, but Salty Ned might have. Danny thanked Mustang Sally and he and his crew went over to Ned's Gallery and asked Ned where One-Eyed Jack is, as Ned said "You've been sent by the barkeep? Hmmm… If this 'Barkeep' has an eyepatch on his right eye and has rings on his ears, then he IS One-Eyed Jack!" Danny then sighed and said "I knew it…" Danny and his crew then went back to The Black Spot and saw One-Eyed Jack at a table on the other side of the room. Danny then approached One-Eyed Jack and he (Jack) apologised for the deception, as he's a bit cautious. Jack then explained, after telling One-Eyed Jack of the Frogfather, that Ratbeard is – or was – hiding in a house in town and gave Danny directions to Ratbeard's safehouse. Danny thanked One-Eyed Jack for the info and he and his crew went to the safehouse to see Ratbeard just jumping through an open window and the will burnt to a crisp… well, save for one page. It read that the journey to Gunn's gold begins in his home at Corsair's Cove and a reference to a shortcut to the actual treasure, but it was burnt off. Louis then curses Ratbeard, as Danny said "It never hurts to do a bit of a run around and I'm not one to take shortcuts unless it's absolutely necessary. Come on guys, let's go to Gunn's Refuge at Corsair's Cove."
Although Ratbeard has gone a quicker way to Gunn's tomb, Danny and his crew decided to go through the long way and sailed for Corsair's Cove. As Danny was taking the helm, he felt something soft and furry streaking his legs and he turned to see Bonnie using her tail to get his attention. Bonnie made a flirty wink at him and she affectionately kissed him in the cheek until he submitted to the affection and kissed Bonnie back. They both wrapped their arms around each other as Danny used his foot to steer the ship into the Corsair's channel. Bonnie then nuzzled her nose on Danny's and she kicked the anchor winch to stop near the Cove's dock. They then looked at each other, their eyes glistening at each other, before they reluctantly broke off and they went on the lone isle and entered Gunn's house to see another ancient tome and searched the nearby cask to find a note written by Captain Gunn himself and it noted that a Pirate should always have a home to go to when they choose to take a break from the skys and it directed them to find the grave of Honest Ned, Gunn's first mate, in the forest at Shady Hollow. Just like that, they went back on board The Avenging Angel and sailed for Buccaneer Isle. After making dock, they went along the bridge and followed the beach trail into Shady Hollow, to see it infested with the undead. Danny and his crew then went up a slope and saw the first grave, then they battled a group of the undead and after dispatching them, they reached the grave, but it didn't belong to Honest Ned. They then went further into the forest, coming upon 3 more graves, none of them belonging to Honest Ned. Danny and his crew then searched further into a place called the Hoodoo House.
They were facing against 6 skeletal pirates; Danny shot a spark in the air and a barrage of thunderbolts struck down and defeated the Skeletal pirates. An undead witchdoctor named Old Scratch then emerged from the green mist and challenged Danny and his crew to a battle. Although Old Scratch is endurable, he was eventually submitted into defeat with Danny and his entire crew. Old Scratch then pleaded for mercy from Danny, as Danny helped Old Scratch up and invited him to his crew; then he asked if he knows where Honest Ned's grave is, which Old Scratch replied that it's behind the tree trunk to their right. They then searched the grave and found another note, which read that a Pirate and his crew is vital and to head to Bounty Island where Gunn's Tomb is. Danny and his crew then went back to The Avenging Angel with Old Scratch as a new crewmember, much to Louis' chagrin. When they docked at Bounty Island, they saw an aging crab asking them what they're doing on 'his' island.
