Pirate101 Fanfic Story Chapter 20
Fatal Trouble
Majordomo read the letter sent to me from One-Eyed Jack (he had the obligence to open it and read it) and it said that every clan is after me because I'm currently in an ownership of 'The Map', so he asked me to meet me in the Hole-in-the-Wall Tavern and that I owe him a favour. Both me and Bonnie expressed concern as Ratbeard wondered what map we could have found, so we went aboard The Noble Archer and sailed to Scrimshaw docks, docking Portside and went on the dock and rushed over to the Hole-in-the-Wall Tavern and spoke to the Barkeep and inquired where One-Eyed Jack is, where he replied "Well, he was here 2 days ago, but then a gang of Wharf Rats barged in and took him into the interior of Scrimshaw. Best you get after them." Ratbeard gritted his teeth and he told me that the only Wharf Rat that's the most dangerous is none other than Nim, so we exited the tavern and entered Scrimshaw, to see for my surprise that Blind Mew is there as well. He then noticed me (via scent and footsteps, I expect) and he said "Hello there, Young Danny. Need help finding One-Eyed Jack, do ye?" I then replied "Very accurate guess, man. Very accurate." Mew then made a chuckle and he said that he noticed soft bunny footsteps followed by Wharf Rats are heading into The Warrens, which Ratbeard groaned in annoyance and he replied "C'mon Danny, let's get One-Eyed Jack from Nim." As we walked to The Warrens, I noted to Ratbeard that if Nim is as bad as he sounds, he wouldn't let us get Jack back without a fight, which Ratbeard replied "Duh." Me, Ratbeard, Gaspard, Bonnie, Wing and Old Scratch entered The Warrens and proceeded towards where Nim is and he exclaimed "There he is! He's holding the Map! Get 'em!" which Ratbeard replied confusingly "What blinkin' Map?!" Nim then charged at me and lunged at me, when Wing forced him back by a Roundhouse Kick, making me sigh in relief. Bonnie then used her ability to reduce their evasiveness, exclaiming "No one hurts my Cappy, you filthy Vermin! *Bonnie turns to Ratbeard* No offence." Ratbeard shrugged, indicating he's not even hurt by the sentence Bonnie made, when Nim and his 3 other Wharf Rats charged at us, when Wing grabbed Gaspard's left arm and swung him around with Gaspard holding his Halberd on the other arm, before heading towards Nim and his Wharf Rats, who widened their eyes in fear and Nim exclaimed "Oh h—"But he was taken out before he finished his sentence. Nim and his Wharf Rats are on the ground in agonising pain, when One-Eyed Jack peeked around the corner from the room opposite and he exclaimed "Blinking Nora! That's some fine battling there, Young Danny!" Danny then asked Jack what's happening, which Jack replied that everyone in Skull Island thinks he has obtained the Map to the richest Skyway and Avery implies he (Danny) has it in his possession, which Danny groaned and replied "Of course he did. Why am I not surprised?" Jack then said that they're even now and they left The Warrens and went on board The Noble Archer and sailed back to Skull Island, with Ratbeard on the wheel. Danny is sitting on the stairs, pondering on what Map he has found and why it is so important, when Bonnie sat next to him and cuddled him, which Danny responded with a cuddle back and a soft kiss on Bonnie's forehead. Bonnie looked at her Cappy endearingly, but before she can proceed, Ratbeard yelled "We've arrived at Port!" Bonnie then cursed at the inconvenient timing and they rushed up to Avery's Court, when Danny knocked on the front door and Avery said "Come in!" Danny, Bonnie, Ratbeard and Chantal entered Avery's Mansion and Avery is surprised to see Danny again and began on congratulating him for the treaty with Monquista, which Danny cuts in "Okay Avery, first off, you're welcome, but it was VERY complicated to getting a signed treaty. Second, I'd like to inquire about—"But he was stopped when Bonnie, angry at Avery for putting them in danger, gripped his torso and slammed him on his back on his desk as Danny finished, wide eyed alongside Ratbeard and Chantal "…The Map." Avery then replied "Map? What Ma—Ooohhh… THAT Map. Sorry for the deception, I thought you were dead or in Monquista Jail. I'll tell you about it and it's value… if you just please tell Bonnie to let go of me." Danny rolled his eyes and asked Bonnie to let him go, which she did, albeit still mad at Avery.
Avery then explained about El Dorado: an island completely made of gold. The Stormgate leading to El Dorado is never in the same place twice and not opened for long, but a famous explorer named Marco Pollo had made the Map leading to El Dorado, but the Map was so valuable that pirates will kill for it, so Marco Pollo ripped it into pieces; one of them happened to be with Captain Gunn. Danny then pinched his nose bridge and said "Let me guess: that 'Sail Cloth' was actually a piece of the map?" Avery nodded and he made a proposition: If Danny collects all the Map Pieces, He and Avery will split the loot 50/50. Danny then reluctantly agreed and Avery opened his drawer to see that the Sail Cloth had been gone, which he cursed Fin and he implored Danny to chase down Fin. Danny nodded and he, along with the rest of the crew, went on board The Noble Archer and shot down a few Cutthroat ships until they got information that Fin might be in Cutthroat Bay, so they sailed over there, as Bonnie is very frustrated about Avery's deception, but is calmed down when Danny held her hand and kissed her in the cheek, making her to nuzzle his nose in response. They then arrived at Cutthroat Bay and went inside a cave, entering a dining hall of sorts and 4 Cutthroats noticed Danny and they battled against each other, but Bonnie and Chantal shot them all into submission. One of the Cutthroats named Bert told them that Fin went to the Vortex near The Presidio, which Ratbeard replied "Thank you." He then knocked him out and they went back to The Noble Archer and sailed to the vortex, where Danny saw something he'd never expect to see again… well he and Wing. It was The Erebus and Danny felt a little Déjà vu, so they boarded The Erebus and saw Fin making a deal with an Armada Captain, when they saw Danny and his crew and they initiated a battle. Fin charged at Danny and he engaged a lock with Danny (Fin with his blades and Danny with his shield, respectively), as Louis Le Bisque, Old Scratch and Queen Gummy went on board to assist their friends in the battle. Gummy then sticked her tongue on the Armada Captain and swung him around, impacting Fin and the other two Clockworks before flinging him to the edge of the ship, disabling him. Danny then pushed Fin off and shot 6 rapid shots at him before he eventually succumbed to defeat. He then started "I want you to remember this moment, Pirate. This is the Mo—"Bonnie then yelled "We get it, you git! Yeesh!" The Armada Captain then raised his damaged voice and explained he recognised him and notes he is now a target for the Armada and they will not stop, they will not eat or sleep until they succeed until the Armada Captain stopped working, when Ratbeard noted that they can die at least, which Danny didn't argue with. They then went to the back of The Erebus and got the first piece of the Map to El Dorado; unfortunately, none of Danny's crew can decipher it, so they went back to Skull Island and informed Avery that they've got the map piece, but the Armada wants it. Avery then expressed concern that the Armada was made in the Polaris wars and they've stopped it, but more was made until they've became a real threat. Avery then continued that the Armada was lead by the most powerful Clockwork named Kane and notes he was faster, stronger and smarter that any other being and is in a seat with other elites, including Deacon the Spymaster.
