The winds were blowing mightily in Isabel's favor. They would soon arrive at Jonah Town, the little village mounted on the back of a giant whale. Lasko was worried about his adopted daughter. She had not said a word to anyone since they sailed off.
"How are we going to find this evil rat you speak of?" Itzen Kaan asked the first mate.
"We must find someone who can locate the villain. Do you know anyone that can assist us in our search, Lasko-san?" Egg Shen wondered as the rat was still looking at his daughter. "Lasko?" The Goose student asked as he'd grew worried.
"Oh, yes. I do know someone who can help us find Ratbeard. The Frogfather, he's been making deals with Ratbeard for a long time now." The former crew member of Ratbeard answered.
"The Frogfather's hard to find. How are we supposed to locate him?" The Marchioness tried to figure out as she paced back and forth across the deck.
"I know someone who could tell us where he is, we'll find him in Jonah Town," Bonnie answered as the ship finally pulled into the dock and dropped anchor.
Meanwhile, the firstmate went to check on his Captain.
"Isabel, are you okay?"
"Yeah... Just grieving...betrayed and orphaned again... what a winning combination," The blond pirate responded as she hugged her arms around her chest. Goldy purred and rubbed her cheek with his face to comfort her.
"Isabel, you are not orphaned!"
The two turned to see Lasko, who hugged the girl. She felt safe.
"Lasko..."
"Yes, you lost some of our family and yes, it hurts, but you're not orphaned. You are surrounded by family! We all love you and we're never gonna leave you." Lasko vowed.
"Thank you, Lasko, thank you..."
"We'll get Gunn's gold and stop Ratbeard, I promise."
"I don't about the gold anymore, I want answers from Ratbeard and I'll get them one way or another," Isabel growled as she walked off the ship and stepped onto the dock. Egg Shen then turned to the rat pirate with worry.
"Will she be alright? I fear that the darkness that Ratbeard has inflicted on her will consume her."
"She'll be fine, she just needs time to heal. I don't blame her after what Ratbeard has done."
"If she does come too close to the edge, then we shall be there to pull her back."
The Golden Scorpion Crew walked into Jonah Town. Bonnie scouted a bit and searched for the help. She'd spotted the pelican fisherman bearing a face of dread.
"Captain Ahab!" The fox shouted as she waved her hands. The Feathery Fisherman brightened up when he heard a familiar voice.
"Bonnie Anne, good to see you again! I see that you have some friends. What can I do for you?"
"Ahab, these are my friends, the Golden Scorpions - Isabel, Egg Shen, Lasko, Itzen Kaan, the Marchioness, and Emmett. We need your help finding the Frogfather." Bonne explained.
"He's the only one who can help us," Isabel added as her pet hid in her hat to sleep, leaving his tail out.
"I'd love to help you, old friend, but I'm afraid can't help you right now. My son Norville hasn't returned from Rapa Nui and I can't look for him because my ship took a lot of damage from the sky sharks."
"If we find your son and bring him back, can you reveal Frogfather's location?" Lasko suggested as the fisherman smiled.
"I promise to grant you access to Gullet."
"Gullet? The town inside the whale?"
"Yes, that is where the Frog Father lives, I'll help you get there but you need to find my son first."
"Alright guys, let's go find Norville." Isabel ordered as they left the town and headed to the village of the water moles.
