Ch41: High Seas Battle

I didn't know what it was like to be a pirate's slave for two days straight, but I soon learned and HATED it! LeFwee was always feeling up Penelope and myself, both of us helpless since we were restrained to different poles underneath the deck. Penelope and I hated that we were being violated and Neyla despised it as well. I kept trying to keep them positive, however, since I knew Bentley and Sly would come in and save us at some point.

"You better hope the story doesn't get messed up, Sylvia..." Neyla frowned during the second day. It was the day that Sly and the gang would come to save Penelope but now they were gonna save me as well... something that shouldn't have happened to the story. The ONLY good thing about this was that I was able to send them discreet messages thanks to Neyla and the Binocucom.

"You keep saying that but I have no idea what you're talking about," Penelope sighed, looking at me like we were crazy. I then sighed myself and explained to her what I was, since she didn't know beforehand. I explained how I was from a different universe, how I was the sole survivor of my family thanks to Clockwerk, how this world was actually a game in mine and how I knew that today was the day we'd be rescued by the others.

Penelope looked at me funny and sighed, shaking her head from her tied up position. The way we were tied up was up against a pole in a standing position, our legs spread and our clothes removed. It was SO inhumane it wasn't even funny. But I also knew that the ship was too full of pirates for us to take on at once... good thing Neyla told the gang to get Crusher on their side...

"You know... I always wondered why you said that one line when we had been captured..." she sighed. "Harlem shake and Chuckee Cheese's? I've never heard of those things so... I believe you..." "The harlem shake is a dance style in my world and Chuckee Cheese's is a restaurant/ birthday party place for children," I smiled. "It has pizza, robotic singers, several arcade machines, and a prize counter for when you want to get something via winnings." "Sounds like a fun place." "It's very fun. I assure you of that."

Just as we smiled at each other, Captain LeFwee's voice could be heard above deck. "Haha! Cooper ye fool! Comin' onto a ship filled with over a hundred pirates? Ye have a death wish, don't ye?" "You hear that?" I asked Penelope. "Yeah. They're here..." Penelope smiled, the first I'd seen since we were capture. "Now I think I'll do a little something..." Neyla said, the eye beginning to glow a bright red. Just then, I looked upwards and waited until I heard LeFwee yell. "Slanderous Scabbard!" he yelled. I let loose, a large laser shooting from Neyla's eye and right through the floor, LeFwee's exclamation now turning into, "That bitch! Kill her!"

I focused and used time stopper, Neyla shooting the laser down at my ropes thus freeing me and I then quickly untied Penelope's ropes. "T-Thanks..." she said when it wore off. "Don't thank me yet," I said, hearing a loud, booming roar from outside the ship. "Great Sea Cows!" LeFwee gasped from above. 'I don't remember him saying THAT,' I thought. "'Tis Crusher? CRUSHER! We're doomed!" exclaimed a dog pirate as some smashing sounds could be heard from above.

I knew that the pirates couldn't get into this room unless they came through the hatch, so I took Penelope to a corner and found our clothes hanging over a bench. "I think we should get decent before we get up there," I said, handing Penelope her shirt, undergarments, bonnet, and shoes. "T-Thanks..." she said. I could only wonder why I was being so nice to Penelope. After all, in the next game she betrays all of us! I just sighed and ignored that for a second. For now she was good so I knew that she wouldn't back-stab us right now.

"Okay guys, we're almost done dispatching pirates," said a familiar voice from above. "Bentley? Is that you?" Penelope asked. Just as we got our clothes on completely, the hatch opened up, allowing us to exit the room we were in. When we got out, the sun was near-blinding to my remaining eye and Penelope had to squint a bit. "Bentley! I- You!" she smiled, about to hug him until a familiar voice came out and a blade was put to her neck.

"Call off your monster, cat and turtle, or the girl gets it!" he exclaimed. I growled at him as Bentley called off Crusher, Opal controlling his mind while on top of his head. "I must say that yer quite clever, turtle. Getting me into the deep waters so I'd lose my men to this beast. Yer the first to ever make me work so much!" LeFwee said. "Yeah. You worked alright. AT RAPING US!" I snarled, my ears tingling and feeling a tad strange. I didn't notice at first, but my ears were growing slightly and hardening.

"Wait... you did WHAT?!" Bentley yelled, glaring at LeFwee himself. This loud voice of Bentley's actually didn't stun LeFwee, but it made me cover my ears for some reason. It was agonizing to me to have him yell. "AAAAHHH!" I yelled loudly, a loud sonic blast actually coming from my mouth and stunning the parrot captain. This gave Penelope the opportunity to grab his sword from him and kick him off the deck.

"Smartest man on the seven seas!" he exclaimed as he went under, shark fins all surrounding his hat. "Bentley!" Penelope cried, pulling him into a hug and crying tears. "I-I was so scared... he fondled our bodies to no end!" Bentley made a frown and hugged back, tears coming from behind his thick glasses. "I'm so sorry, Penelope..." Bentley said. "I won't let anything happen like that again. I promise."

"Sylvia!" Sly exclaimed, jumping from out of nowhere and pulling me into a hug. "H-Hey! What are you doing?" I asked, surprised about the sudden hug. "I was so worried about you. I thought that something horrible would happen to you!" he exclaimed. "It's okay... I'm not harmed or anything..." I lied, wincing a bit from a single scratch mark given to me from LeFwee's cutlass against my right arm.

"You're lying, Sylvia," he frowned as he noticed Neyla's eye beep. He looked at my right arm and noticed the cut, frowning and taking a rag from his shirt pocket. He wrapped it around the wound and I winced as he did it. "T-Thanks..." I sighed, hugging him back. "Okay... I'm okay now... let's go to Kaine Island then?" I asked. Sly nodded. "Yeah. Let's go."
