The crew lashed out on the sharks as they tried to board the raft, the Ragged Sail. Lasko and Isabel led a combined assault on the head Cutthroat, the last one standing. A nasty old shark with a harpoon for a hand tried to slice Bonnie Anne into two. However, she blocked it with her old and badly damaged gun. Egg Shen could sense that her blaster would be destroyed and she would be in danger. The goose student rushed towards the shark and the fox.

A second after Bonnie Anne's gun was shattered into pieces, Egg Shen used the hilt of his spear to disarmed the harpoon handed shark, and pushed him with the retreating cutthroats. As they swore vengeance, they escaped and the crew rushed to Bonnie's side to see if she was okay.

"It's alright everyone, I'm fine, thanks to Shen." The sharpshooter assured everyone. Egg Shen blushed from the compliment he had received then bowed to the Fox woman.

"You are a valued friend, Bonnie-san. I am just very happy to see you safe." The goose answered as Isabel picked up the remains of Bonnie's gun.

"I wish I could say the same of your blaster." Isabel sighed as she handed Bonne Anne her broken weapon.

"Looks like the old girl fought her last battle. I'll be needing a new one and I know just a pirate to talk to..."


"So your musket's kaput, eh?" Ol' Fish Eye summarized as he looked at the ruined gun. "Well I that's a real shame, but it was not really a blaster to your potential. If you're gonna be needing a better musket, you need the scaramanga musket. It's the best automated weapon in Valencia." The old musketeer explained as he showed the picture of the gun. Everyone gathered around to admire its beauty.

"Great, so let's have it." Isabel Quinn grinned.

"Yeah, the only problem is I don't have it. I do know who does though - Adolphus. The last time I saw him he joined the cutthroats." The old bird explained.

"Joining with cutthroats? That's dangerous business! They'll skin you alive and take your things when you're not looking." Lasko gasped. The Golden Scorpions knew that it was a dangerous idea to trust a shark.

"Aye, so where is he now?" Bonnie asked her old mentor. Isabel felt that they may need to go to battle soon.

"Last I heard of him he was on the ship the Old Chum." Ol' Fish Eye answered as he cleaned his gun.

"The Old Chum... I think I saw that ship in the mountains of the Troggy side of Skull Island! Let's check if it's still there." Isabel ordered as everyone headed to the mountains.


After tightening the last bit to the ruined gun, Ensign Emmett handed the clumsily repaired blaster to Bonnie.

"It's a good thing I know a bit about Gun repair, but that blaster won't work for long. It might shatter after the battle." The otter sighed as Bonnie Anne could practically feel the gun trying to hold itself together.

"It'll have to do. Let's give her one last fight." The fox woman grinned as they crept up to the mountains, trying not to be seen.

"Luckily it won't come to that." Egg Shen in a hushed voice as they sneaked onto the ship, only to be attacked by the Cutthroats. Everyone worked together to send the sharks running. The battle was over, and so was Bonnie Anne's gun. After cornering one, they soon began interrogating him.

"Where is Adolphus? Better answer or I'll sick my little friend on you." Isabel threatened as her pet hissed viciously.

"I'll talk, I'll talk! Just keep that thing away from me. We roughed him up and left him for dead. He's still probably there on refuge island! I swear!" The lackey fretted, as he knew the dangers of the scorpion's sting. That's when Captain Quinn called off Goldy and the creature returned to its master. The cutthroat than ran away, screaming about scorpions and monsters.


The crew quickly soared across the skies, not only to find Bonnie Anne a new gun, but to try to save Adolphus from certain death. Sadly, once they reached their destination, they found him, or what was left of him. After the crew buried him, Bonnie took hold of the scaramanga of the late musketeer.

"So, what do you think of your new blaster?" Wondered Isabel, pushing the tombstone to the burial spot.

"She's a beaut, but she needs a bit of work. Those Cutthroats must have banged her up good. Let's head to Lucius Fox's Shop on Skull Island, he'll fix her up."

After a few hours of tweaking and cleaning the beautiful and powerful firearm, the scaramanga, it was finally finished.

"There you go, Bonnie, good as new. She'll fire better and aim longer than your old blaster. If she needs a tone up, bring her back to me and I'll fix her right up." Lucius grinned at his good friend and customer.

"Come on, everyone, let's to the tavern to celebrate. My treat!" The fox woman announced as everyone cheered. After an adventure like that, they deserved a little break.
