Mutiny

Tyler watched as the planet slowly came into view, a massive green planet with a glowing green ring around it and then a debris ring around it at a different angle, making an "X" around it. He, Lightning, and Noel were near they captain's cabin at the moment, the captain being inside. The rest of the crew, minus Silver and Jim, were at the front of the ship.

Suddenly, Jim sprinted up the stairs from below deck and skidded around the railing, sprinting toward them, a look of fear and anger on his face.

"Let's go!" Jim said, sprinting past them and into the Captain's cabin as Silver staggered up the steps, a pair of what looked like scissors in his mechanical leg at a vulnerable spot.

Tyler instantly ducked inside with Lightning and Noel, Jim slamming the door closed and locking it.

"What's going on?" the captain asked.

"The whole crew are pirates, and Silver's the captain!" Jim said.

"Pirates, on my ship?" the captain spat, unlocking a wardrobe and throwing it open, grabbing a pistol. "I'll see them all hanged!" she tossed the pistol to Doppler. "Doctor, familiar with these?"

Doppler began to casually gesture the gun as he spoke. "Uh, well I've seen...uh...well I've read-"

The gun went off, a laser blasting a globe just to the side of the captain, who went rigid. Tyler snatched to pistol from him, holding it up.

"Weapon," Tyler said. "Deadly." He pointed at the end of the barrel. "Toward enemy, not friend." He pointed to the trigger. "Don't touch until you are about to shoot someone. Then squeeze." He shoved the pistol back into Doppler's hands and caught a pistol as the captain tossed him one, only to toss it back. "We've got it covered, thanks."

"Very well," the captain said, slipping the pistol into her coat before pulling out a flintlock rifle to go with it, then a small bronze sphere. "Mr. Hawkins, defend this with your life."

She tossed it to Jim, who reached out for it only for Silver's floating, shapeshifting, pink blob, Morph, to catch it in his mouth.

"Morph, give me that!" Jim said, snatching it back and tucking it into his pocket, taking a pistol from the captain.

Then, the captain swung the rifle around, blasting the floor several times, making a large hole before dropping through, the others all following, Tyler bringing up the rear. when he landed, it was in a sort of maintenance passage with a grated floor. They all sprinted along the passage, hearing the pirates running after them, only for Tyler to slash a pipe, steam exploding out of it behind him before freeing into a wall of ice three feet thick. He skidded around a corner, leaping down a short flight of stairs and landing in the room with the two skiffs, a trap door below it. The captain slammed the door shut behind Tyler and used the rifle to weld it closed before turning.

"To the longboat, quickly!" she said, everyone jumping in.

She jumped in last just as Morph grabbed the sphere and flew away. Jim leapt out of the boat after him, barely missing just as the pirates cut through the door, bursting into the room and opening fire. Instantly, the captain began to shoot back, Tyler, Noel, and Lightning helping with their spells and Lightning's gunblade. They managed to hit a couple of the pirates before Doppler shot a huge metal structure over the walkway most of the pirates were on, breaking it free and dropping it onto the walkway, collapsing it and dropping the rest of the pirates in the room out of the ship. Then, Silver walked in, throwing the lever to close the doors below the skiff, a blast door starting to slide closed below them.

"We need to go, now!" Tyler said.

"Doctor, when I say now, shoot out the forward cable, I'll take this one," the captain said, gesturing to one over them.

"We're going to fall," Tyler laughed humorlessly. "Terrific. This just keeps getting better and better!"

He hurled his keyblade in a blurred disk at Silver, who was calling Morph, at the same time as Jim was, confusing the tiny flying blob of pink snot. However, Silver dove out of the way of the keyblade and Tyler summoned it back to himself. Instantly, Morph dove into a coil of rope, Silver diving for it, only for Jim to reach it first, snatching the sphere out of it and sprinting away. Silver aimed at him with a pistol attached to his mechanical arm, but then sighed and lowered it. Jim leapt into the boat and the captain gave the signal, she and Doppler shooting out the ropes, dropping them. The front of the ship hit the blast door, Jim nearly missing the boat as it rocked to the side, only for Doppler to pull him into it. Then, the captain started the skiff up and they took off, all sighing in relief.

"Did we get it?" Tyler asked.

"Yeah," Jim said. "I got it."

Then, suddenly, a massive ball of plasma crashed into the back of the boat, exploding beside the captain who shouted in pain, clutching her sides as the boat began to fall again.

"Ah fuck!" Tyler shouted. "We're going down!"

He held his keyblade horizontally in front of himself, a massive barrier made of hexagonal pieces of magic energy forming around the boat before they crashed into a forest of mushrooms, Tyler gritting his teeth as she shield held, the boat crashing to the ground before he let it face. The bottom of the boat hit hard, plowing along the ground for a ways before finally skidding to a stop. He sighed, leaning against the side and groaning.

"That...could have...been worse," Tyler sighed. "Captain, you okay?"

"I'll be fine," the captain said, pushing herself up and groaning in pain, holding her sides. "Slight bruising, that's all. A cup of tea and I'll be right as rain."

"They're broken," Lightning said. "We need to find shelter, then you can rest."

"I'll be fine," the captain said. "Now, Mr. Hawkins, the map, if you please."

Jim pulled the map out, only for it to float into the air before turning into Morph. "Morph!?"

"Ah hell," Tyler groaned. "It's still on the ship. But, of course, they think we have it so...if someone could sneak aboard, they could retrieve it."

"Tyler," Lightning said, staring into the forest, Tyler looking around.

He saw a shadow flit between the mushrooms and narrowed his eyes. He could sense them. After so long not seeing any, he had been starting to get worried. However, now, he could sense them all around them.

"Heartless," Tyler growled. "We need to find shelter, now."

"Where do we go?" Doppler asked.

"There was a structure not far from us when we were going down," Noel said. "If we can make it there, it should be fairly defensible. Even from heartless."

Tyler nodded, Jim and Doppler lifting the captain. "Lead the way."

Noel nodded, drawing his swords as Tyler summoned his keyblade and Lightning drew her gunblade. Then, they all hurried through the forest. Before long, however, a robot burst out of some bushes, grabbing Jim in a hug, Jim staggering away. The machine began to babble on and on about being saved and about being stuck int he woods for a hundred years, introducing himself as B.E.N., short for Bio-Electric Navigation.

"Ben, we don't have time for this," Tyler said. "We need to get somewhere safe. There's a structure just up ahead, if you want to come with us, you can, but you have to be silent and fast."

"Up ahead?" Ben asked. "That's a coincidence, my house is that way too."

Tyler and Noel glanced at each other.

"Take us there, quickly," Tyler said.

Ben nodded, turning and quickly strolling into the forest, Tyler and the others following quickly. Finally, they reached a large structure covered in moss. It looked like a big metal hive, and the only entrance was a hole in the front, about ten feet up. Tyler sprinted up the wall, leaping to the hole and just barely catching it, pulling himself in before spinning around and helping Noel up, then Doppler, the captain, Jim, and finally Lightning. Once they were all up, they all collapsed around the main room, deciding to rest, Tyler staying near the door incase the heartless around the clearing they were in decided to do something besides watch.
