And lastly I want you all to ENJOY!
"It's ok doc Jimmy knows exactly to get out of this it's just it's Jimmy's has this knowledge of things! Jim any thoughts?" BEN said as Jim raked his hands through his hair.
"We...Uhhhgggggnnnnnnnnn... Need to... Get back... To... The... Ship for the... Map... It's our... Only hope...!" Bella-Anne wheezed painfully trying to sit up but Colten gently pushed her down to the ground again. "yeah..." Reba muttered sadly resting on a boulder and looking to the ship.
"Without the map we're dead. If we try to leave we're dead if we stay here..." Jim said and then Morph said. "Dead! We're dead! We're dead! We're dead!"
"Well I think that Jimmy could use a little 'quiet time' so I'll just slip out the back door..." BEN said. "Back door?" Meg asked turning to the robot. "Oh, yeah I can use a delightful breeze through here which I think is important is ventilation among friends." BEN said. "You couldn't have told us this earlier!" Lucy said smacking the robots head and holding her sore hand in pain afterwards. "You mean the miles and miles of machinery that runs through the entire course of the inside of this planet? Not a clue!" He said.
"HEY! Doc, DOC! I think I found a way out of here! I'll be back!" Jim said and then Lucy who had been waiting the whole trip to do something more exciting than her pranks jumped up and did a flip following Jim. "Wait the captain ordered us to stay!"- Delbert was cut off by Reba who wasn't about to miss whatever was going on. "
CANONBAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa..." BEN's voice faded off as he went after the teens.
"Woof." Delbert said agitated. "Rrrrrrrrrrrrrr." Autumn rose growled rubbing the bridge of her nose.
They opened a hatch near where the Pirates were and BEN said. "What's the plan Jimmy!" "Will you shut up you, stupid piece of metal!" Lucy hissed at him angrily. "Ok, here the plan. We sneak back to the legacy disable the laser canon and bring back the map." Jim whispered. The girls nodded and BEN agreed that it was a good plan.
They stole the pirates Longboat and snuck back to the Legacy.
They peeked over the edge to make sure no one was there.
Thankfully no one was. "Hmm, hmm go time!" Lucy whispered pulling her long braid into a bun.
They climbed down into the engine room and Jim told BEN to disable the canons he then told Reba to make sure he did. She nodded and followed the robot closely her plasma pistol at the ready. "Oh, Boy..." Reba said as they opened the wire box.
"Man, I wish Meg tagged along..." She said glumly as Ben looked over the wires.
Lucy watched Jim's back as they went to get the map. "YES!" Lucy did a fist pump in the air. And then an alarm sounded her fist pump turned to a facepalm.
"Bad BEN, Bad BEN. Fixing..." Ben said putting the wire back. Reba wished she had her pocket knife so she could cut the wires.
The two teens went to get up the stairs but there was Scroop. "That dumb robot is gonna get us!... Killed." Lucy said taking out a rock that she had picked up and tossed it at Scroop but it bounced off him. "Cabin boy..." Scroop hissed flexing his claws.
The two teens took off running Lucy double checked her gun to make sure she had ammo and had it cocked.
They pushed things down and into Scroop's road but he just climbed on the roof. "Damn spiders!" Lucy thought her fear of spiders rising.
Morph turned into a cream pie and splattered on Scroop's face.
Lucy held her gun ready as did Jim they came back around the corner and then the lights went out.
"Dang it BEN!" Reba's yelled echoed in the darkened ship. BEN's eye's glowed and he said. "Ok not that one. No-no panic breathing in." He plugged the wire back in and the lights kicked on.
Jim and Lucy looked around but Scroop was nowhere to be seen. "Where is he!" Lucy said looking around worriedly. Morph came out of the pipe he had been hiding in and poked Scroop in the eyes before returning to the pipe. Lucy and Jim spun around to see Scroop grab his eyes in pain.
He swung an arm and it hit Jim but Lucy ducked. The hit knocked their guns out of their hands unfortunately.
"This has got too be it!" Ben said unplugging a cord. "It better be..." Reba said losing hope. Then they started to float. Reba grabbed the cord and looked around for the proper plug. "Maybe not." BEN said.
Lucy tried to swim to the guns but it was no use since she was floating a lot higher than the guns. They began floating out to open space but they grabbed the flag and held tight. But Scroop was on their heels climbing up the mast towards them.
But they were still being pulled to space. They tried to grab their guns but they were just out of reach.
"Do say Hello to Mr. Arrow for me..." Scroop chuckled darkly. They climbed down the flag and grabbed the top of the mast. Scroop charged at them but Lucy went under and Jim went over. They kicked the spider and pushed him into the flag then sending him out to space. "Tell him yourself jerk!" Lucy yelled as she and Jim grabbed onto a lower part of the mast.
Scroop screamed as he was pulled out into space.
"Back you go!" Reba said before hitting the floor.
Jim and Lucy roughly hit the floor of the crow's nest and Morph came out of a pipe coughing. "Morph?" Lucy asked as the blob rubbed against her cheek.
"Laser cannon's disconnected captain Jimmy sir." BEN came out from the lower deck and saluted. Reba followed him up and whipped suet from her face and dusted her clothes off. "Finally!" she said sarcastically. "Geez that wasn't so tough." BEN said.
They made their way back to BEN's home in silence. "Doc, wake up we got the map!" Jim said rushing over to where the Doctor and Captain had fallen asleep or so they thought.
Lucy walked over to where her brother should have been sleeping and shook his shoulder.
"Fine work Jimbo. Fine work indeed" Silver said grabbing the map just as pirates grabbed the girls.
Everyone else made muffled protests but it was no use when they were bound and gagged. "Thanks for showing us the way in boy!" Mr. turnbuckle said grabbing Jim. "H-HEY!" Reba yelled as she Kicked a pirate in the shin stepped on another's foot and kicked the one that held Lucy in the groin but got hit in the stomach with a swift punch making the poor girl cough up blood.
"Just like me, ya hates to lose." Silver said getting in Reba and Jim's face before stepping back and trying to open the map.
But Jim and Reba were the only ones who knew how. Reba knew since Jim had showed her when they opened it to show the Captain during the voyage.
Jim shook his head as Silver struggled to open the map. "Open it!" Silver said roughly handing it to Jim. "I'd get busy." Silver said cocking his gun.
The captain, Meg, Jake, Cash, and Colten shook their heads 'no' but Delbert, Chi-Chi, Sam, and Autumn shook their heads 'yes' before shaking them 'no'.
Jim looked around trying to figure out what to do. Silver pointed his gun at the group. Jim opened the map. The Pirates rushed to the door and went to follow the flashing line created by the map. "Tie 'em up and leave 'em with the others. What?" Silver said as the line retracted back into the map.
"You want the map them too." Jim said motioning to Reba and Lucy. "We'll take 'em all!" Silver said as they were roughly loaded into their long boats. Thankfully they were ungagged but held at gun point.
They left everyone but Jim, Reba, and Lucy. The teens looked to the others as they walked with Silver and most of the crew. "I promise I won't let anything happen to you guys..." Lucy said under her breath as she looked sadly at her friends, sibling, and family.
BEN yelled some nonsense about what he thought was his life flashing in front of his eyes.
Silver pulled the three teens to where the light led but it led nowhere?
"I suggest you get that gizmo working again soon Jimbo!" Silver yelled at him before a strange alien pushed him down. He brushed some moss away from a small hole and then he put it in and like a door and map appeared. "Oh, have mercy!" Silver said staring at the door.
"The lagoon nebula?" Lucy asked in awe. "But that's half way across the galaxy." Silver said scratching his chin. "Hmm... 'a big door opening and closing'." Reba muttered what BEN had said when they first met as she pressed different spots on the Holo-map. "Let's see... Kinupess, Montressor space port!" Jim said pressing it on the map. "Ooooo my turn!" Lucy said looking it over and then said. "Blandrein!"
"So, that's how Flint did it! He used a portal to the universe stealing treasure!" Jim said. "But where did he stash it all! WHERE'S DAT BLASTED TREASURE!" Silver yelled pressing every door he could.
BEN said something about the centroid of the mechanism. "Buried at the centroid of the mechanism... what if the whole planet is the mechanism! And the treasure is buried in the center of this planet!" Jim Said. The crew began to dig like a bunch of mad-men. "And how in blue blazes are we supposed to get there!?" Silver yelled before being pushed away by Lucy. "You just have to open the right door." She pressed the center and there it was!
Flint's trove!
Jim walked in but was pulled back out by Silver who pushed ahead of him. The others followed closely and then Jim, Reba, and Lucy walked in careful of where they stepped.
But the others went right through the laser trip wire.
"The loot of a thousand worlds!" Silver gasped. "Ha-ha we're gonna need a bigger boat!" The look-out called.
"This all seems very familiar..." BEN said scratching his head. "I can't seem to remember..." "Come on guys, BEN we're gonna go but we're not gonna leave empty-handed." Jim said.
Silver walked around awe-struck as the teens and robot made their way to Flint's ship. "A life time of searchin' and now I can touch it!" He said taking handfuls of gold and jewels.
BEN still was saying why he couldn't remember. Jim helped them up into Flint's boat as Reba let out a small shriek when she saw the one and only Captain Flint's dead body. Lucy grabbed BEN's missing memory chip from Flint's dead hand and placed it on the back of BEN's head. "-Right until Flint pulled out my circuit so I could never tell anyone about his BOOBY TRAP!" BEN yelled and then a few explosions went off. "Speaking of which. Flint wanted to make sure no one could ever steal his treasure so he rigged this whole Planet to blow higher than a killision kite!"
More and more explosions went off and BEN yelled. "RUN GUYS RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!" "You guys go help everyone else if I'm not there in five minutes... Leave without me!" Jim said as he tried to hotwire the ship. "I AM NOT LEAVING WITHOUT YOU JIM!" Reba yelled with tears filling her eyes. "DANG IT JIM I...I... I love you... and I don't want to lose you..." Reba said, Jim got up and put his arms around her and gave her a quick kiss on the lips stunning her. "You won't lose me... NOW GET GOING!" He yelled pushing them off the ship.
The pirates began to fall into a lava pit at the very center while trying to save the treasure but not all of them.
The planet rumbled and even the Captain, Doctor, and teens felt it shaking.
They were tied in pairs. "I...I... All my life I've saw you as beautiful Bella-Anne... Whether or not you understand me since of your blood loss but...I love you... I always have and always will even if we die..." Colten said. "That is the sweetest thing anyone has ever told me... I love you too you, goody-two-shoes... I love you too." Bella-Anne said weakly giving him a weak smile.
"All my life I dreamed of an adventure like this... I'm just sorry I couldn't have been more helpful to you..." Delbert said sadly. "Don't be daft! you've been very helpful, truly." Amelia said, most of the teens felt so dejected that they didn't say much. "I feel like such a useless weakling!" Delbert said putting his head in his HANDS! "With abnormally thin wrists!"
"Excuse me brutish pirate?" He asked and then the Pirate turned to them. "Yes you. I have a question, is it that your body is too massive for your teeny tiny head or is it that your head is too teeny tiny for your big fat body!?" The teens struggled not to laugh at his witty remark and then the Pirate marched to him angrily. "I pummel you good!" He said. "Yes, I'm sure you will but before you do I have one more question is this yours?" Delbert asked pointing the pirates gun at him.
"Ha-ha take that fatso!" Sam said before putting her hands to her mouth and blushing embarrassedly.
Jim tried to get Flint's ship to start up but it was so old it wouldn't!
When it finally did Silver was on it. He threatened Jim. Just then a laser hit the ship tossing Jim from it.
Jim just barely was able to grab ahold of the wall but his hold has slipping. "Oh, NO YA DON'T!" Silver yelled pulling the ship away from the laser. He then saw Jim struggling to hold on to the wall.
Silver ended up letting go of the boat and treasure and saving Jim.
"Silver you gave up the treasure!" Jim yelled. "Just a lifelong obsession Jim, I'll get over it." Silver said.
"Hurry people we got only 2 minutes 43 second before full planet destruction!" BEN yelled as Delbert lowered the ship near them. "Bring her down gently now... GENTLY!" Amelia yelled trying to get Delbert to bring her ship next to Jim and Silver. "Take us away metal man!" She ordered BEN. "Aye Captain!" BEN said pushing the ship into over drive.
"Captain you dropped from the heavens in the nick of"- Before Silver could finish Amelia snapped. "Save your claptrap for the judge Silver." Sam stuck her tongue out at the cyborg and helped the captain walk away.
Some debris hit a sail knocking it away. The top part of the mast fell and crushed the laser canon. "We just lost two engines Captain!" Bella yelled. "Thrusters at only 30%!" "30%? That means we'll never clear the planets explosion in time." Chi-Chi said worriedly. The captain looked around in thought. "Jim can you make a solar surfer with these?" Autumn Rose asked picking up part of the laser canon, and a sturdy sheet of metal.
"Yeah! We gotta turn around!" Jim said as he put the pieces together. "What? Jim did you go mad?!" Lucy yelled in shock.
"There's a portal back there we can get out of here!" Jim said and Lucy crossed her arms. "I know I went through it duh!" She said. "Pardon me Jim, but, ISN'T THAT OPEN TO A RAGING INFERNO!?" Meg yelled her messy hair flicking into her face as she ran her hands through it pushing it out of her face.
"Yes but I'm gonna change that! I'm gonna open a different door." He said as he looked for something to tie it together. "Captain really? I don't see how this is- how it could possibly." Delbert asked the captain but Silver answered instead. "Listen to the boy!"
"1 minute 29 second till planet destruction!" BEN yelled out to them. "What'd ya need Jim?" Silver asked. "Just some way to attach it to this!" Jim said. "Stand back, stand back now!" Silver said as he blow-torched the two pieces together. "There now."
"Okay, now no matter what happens keep the ship heading straight for that portal!" Jim said he then looked at Reba with love and took off.
"45 seconds!" BEN yelled. "Well you heard him! Get this stinking ship turned around!" Reba yelled with tears in her eyes but some-how she managed to keep her voice from cracking. "Doctor head us back to the portal!" Amelia told Delbert who did so then spoke. "Aye Captain!"
Lucy watched Jim with wonder and Bella-Anne stole glimpses at him did as well since both girl were slight dare-demons.
Sam had to giggle at Amelia and Delbert as she told him how to steer the ship. "They are so cute together! They'd be a wonderful couple one day." She thought happily. "TO THE RIGHT! THE RIGHT!" Amelia made a motion with her hand to the right. "I know I know will you just let me drive!" Delbert yelled. "25 seconds!" BEN yelled with more urgency.
Reba looked through a spy glass but couldn't see Jim! "Come on Jim you can do it!" She said under her breath.
Jim had lost power in his surfer he grinded the end against wall in hopes to restart his engine.
"17 SECONDS!" BEN yelled and Lucy closed her eyes not wanting to see him die.
His engine started back up just as the ship flew over him. "7 SECONDS!" BEN shouted loudly. "5 4 3!" Just then Jim pressed the space port on the map and the ship went through right as the planet exploded!
"WAAHAA!" Jim cheered as they went through and saw the space port. "JIM!" Reba yelled letting her tears fall happily Lucy opened her eyes and cheer while jumping up and down.
"YA DID IT JIMBO!" Silver cheered for the boy who flew right next to the ship.
The Captain and Doctor hugged each other before pulling away with a small blush but still in an embrace. Samantha smiled at this as her brother gave her a hug over her shoulder.
Jim jumped into the boat and was hugged tightly by a sobbing Reba.
"Unorthodox but ludicrously effective. I have to recommend you to the interstellar academy. They could use a man like you!" Amelia said happily. "Just wait until your mother hears about this! Of course, we may down play the life-threatening parts..." Delbert said patting Jim on the back. Everyone took their turn congratulating him.
Silver was trying to make a get away with the last long boat but Jim stopped him.
They shared a slightly sappy goodbye and then Silver was off, but not before giving Jim some money to help his mother rebuild the Benbow and asking him to keep Morph.
The ship docked and they got ready to disembark.
Sarah looked around for her nieces and nephews and son but couldn't see them yet.
She felt a hand on her shoulder and turned around to see Jim and the others. Jim gave his mother a tight hug which shocked her.
Months passed and they stayed at the Doppler residence which had more occupants.
But soon the Benbow inn was rebuilt newly and bigger, better but yet the same.
The night the inn opened there was a large party to celebrate.
Ben came out of the kitchen with cake and served the many people there. Colten twirled Bella-Anne around and then when he stopped the now 16-year-old leaned against Delbert so not too fall. Amelia and Delbert smiled at the young teen.
She looked down and smiled at three young girls, all Feline like their mother, cradled in Delbert's arms.
The oldest girl had a green bow, blonde hair, and blue eyes. Then the second oldest girl had an orange bow, and looked just like her mother. And the third girl had deep brown hair, green eyes, and a purple Bow.
Amelia gently kissed a boy on the head gently. He looked just like Delbert and was also a Candid.
Two officers opened the door making the room gasp.
They stepped aside to revival Jim! In an academy uniform and his hair slicked back.
Everyone cheered for him and Reba rushed at him and placed a kiss on his cheek with a large smile.
The band began to play a cheery song Jim and Reba bowed to each other and began dancing.
Delbert spun Amelia around and caught her in a low dip.
Morph was watching Amelia and Delbert's children but the then red-haired girl pulled on her brother's ear. The poor boy since only being a few months of age cried, Morph the turned into a rattle which the red head tried to grab but he moved over to the little boy who shook it happily much to his sister's displeasure.
Reba leaned against Jim happily as they looked out the window and saw some ethereal clouds that looked like none other than Silver!
They smiled as they held each other closely with smiles across their faces.
Things could only get better from there.
The End
