"This must be the drain." Izzy huffed, tired from fighting all those cutthroat pirates and savage Troggies. The young girl soon fell to her knees, completely drained.

"Izzy, are you okay?" Egg Shen asked as he came to her side.

"I-I'm fine. This happens sometimes..." Isabel wheezed as she tried to reclaim her breath. The goose student felt her head only to find that she was burning with fever.

"She needs a Yum Yum Fruit, and quickly!" Egg Shen gasped, and Bonnie Anne turned to see that there was a winged fruit near a scorpion, a golden one. The creature hissed at Bonnie Anne, and she aimed her blaster at it.

"Wait... I got this..." Isabel moaned as she walked to the creature, looking like she would pass out at any minute.

"Isabel, are you mad? That Scorpion will sting you. A golden sting is instant death!" The fox tried to stop her, but the creature stung her before she could move away. However Isabel, though sick, was still awake and alive. The creature turned head towards her and understood. It nudged the fruit towards her and crawled on her shoulder. She ate the fruit and felt her strength to her.

"Izzy, how is this possible? The sing should have killed you!" Bonnie wondered in disbelief.

"There... Is a reason that my family chose the Scorpion to be our family Symbol, because no matter how many times we're stung, the poison doesn't effect us. The sting hurts but we are immune to the poison." Isabel smiled as she petted her new friend. "I'll think I'll call you Goldy." Izzy smiled as it let out a sound similar to a purr.

"Thanks for the Yum, little guy. Now let's drain this water." Isabel ordered her crew as they began to open the door, only to find that the Troggies were waiting for them.

"Oooga ooga! Doom Doom!" They chanted in anger at the pirates.

"Look, we need to release the water to get a bad pirate who stole something. We promise to leave if you let us get this cutthroat," Isabel offered.

The tribal creatures looked at each other before turning to the pirates.

"Doom Doom to u!" The shaman screeched in anger.

"Well I tried, attack!" The captain ordered her crew. The four (including Goldy the Scorpion) began to battle the Troggy warriors.

"What I lack in muscle, I make up for with speed." The Privateer smirked at the warriors continued to charge at them.

"No matter how many we beat, more keep coming!" Bonnie Anne gasped, bumping into the switch that caused the largest pillar to fall.

It caused the tribal warriors to weaken, and Egg Shen gasped in realization.

"We need to flip the switches! Once the water is drain, the Troggies will be in a state of comatose." Egg Shen exclaimed as he hit the switch, causing the pillar to shrink more.

"One more to go!" The fox woman shouted as she covered her captain.

"I got this one!" The blonde grinned as she reached the final switch and released the drain, which caused the water to flow out.

The Troggies began to fall into a sleep like state, one by one. "Will they be okay?" Isabel wondered as she touched one of their heads.

"They will be fine. These creatures are in hibernation. They will awaken in a few hours." The goose student explained as he placed a pillow under one of the sleeping warriors' head.

"Now we get Fin." Bonnie smiled as she placed her fist in her hand.

"You heard the lady, let's go!"

"It seemed you were able to drain the water. Now we can get Fin. Let's go. Remember, Cutthroats are cowards. Take out Fin and they'll run with their tails between their legs," Sergeant Shepherd reminded them as they entered Fin's lair.

Isabel and her crew then saw that they were surrounded by cutthroats and their nasty leader, Fin, was at the center with Avery's Amulet clenched in his fist.

"You made three mistakes when you came here. One, you chose to come after me. Two, you let yourself be outnumbered, and three, you chose to fight me in dark." Fin growled as his cutthroats laughed.

"Remember, get Fin and the others will run!" The Sergeant reminded as he slashed at one of the cutthroats. Egg Shen hit another one that tried to get Isabel behind her back.

"Get ready for fish fry!" The fox woman huffed as she blasted seven more. The Scorpion captain and her pet soon had Fin to themselves.

"Now you've made your fourth mistake." Fin smirked as he tried to cut her in half but Izzy dodged the blade just in time.

"The bigger they are, the harder they fall." Isabel smiled as she jumped on Fin's head. Trying to keep up with her rapid dodging and movements, Fin soon grew tired.

"Perfect." The bond privateer grinned, using this as her chance to deliver little blows at the shark. She finished him off with her final attack. Fin fell, and his cutthroats ran like cowards.

"Looks like we got the amulet back." Isabel huffed in exhaustion from the battle.

"I want you to remember this day, brat. Today is your first victory - and the day you made your arch - enemy." Fin gasped as he was tied up.

"Shut up, you walking chum! Nice work kid. Get that back to Avery while I bring Fin to Justice." The Sergeant smiled as he left, dragging Fin behind him.
