Chapter 32

Chapter 32
Captain Ursula Birdwind.


Ursula? Are you ok Ursula? Vasca said as he shook Ursula. It was morning now and Ursula had been knocked out cold all night by the violent rocking on the ship.
Oy, me head, I’m ok. Ursula said as she got to her feet. She looked out the kitchen window and into the sea; it was a nice sunny colorful day.

There’s been an accident last night during the storm, Ursula. Vasca said to her.

What happened? Ursula asked.

Skully’s been killed. He was on deck, trying to steer the ship through the rough waters, hard rain, and strong winds, when one of the ropes from the mast came flying down and wrapped around Skully pulling him into the air. He found himself hanging on top of the mast by his one arm, when a violent lightning strike hit, striking through Skully, making him light up like a firefly.

Oy, that’s horrible—Ursula said.

Aye. Vasca continued. Skully’s body then fell into the sea and was promptly eaten by a group of sharks. We figured that they like the cooked meat of Skully’s body.

Oh my, i've certainly missed a lot when I was knocked out, Ursula said.

But most importantly Ursula, Skully has named ye to be his successor. Yer now Captain Ursula Birdwind.

Ursula was shocked; she couldn’t believe that Skully was dead, and that she was now the captain. She never imagined herself as a captain… everything was very overwhelming for her.

Lurg busted into the kitchen.
Captain, we have a situation on the deck, ye must come to resolve it, Lurg said. Ursula just stood there.

Aye, Lurg is talking to ye Ursula—Vasca said to Ursula.

Oh right, I’m on me way, she said. Ursula ran to the deck. There was madness everywhere. The ship was being attacked by monkeys. There were monkeys everywhere. The monkeys were slapping the crew, stealing things, making weird monkey calls, and hurling their poop.

What do we do captain? Bella Dizzy covered in monkey poop asked Ursula.

Steer the ship, if we gain speed we can throw the monkeys into the water and they wont be able to climb back on the ship.

Bella Dizzy began to steer the ship.

Captain Ursula, we have a problem—Finale said.

Aye, what is it? Ursula asked.

If the monkeys bite ye, then ye become a monkey, just look at Condi! Finale said to Ursula.
It was true Condi was acting like a monkey, running around naked, slapping the crew, throwing poop at Cannons, and picking and eating bugs out of Bella Dizzys hair.

Captain Ursula we have another problem—Bella Dizzy said to her.

What it’s be? Ursula said, panicking starting to sweat.

There’s a huge rock in the waters ahead of us and I can’t steer the ship around it—Bella said to her. It was true Ursula ran over and tried to move the wheel, but the wheel wouldn’t move they were headed straight for the rock. The ship went striaght into the rock, making a thunderous noise, shaking the deck. Ursula when nutty and began to whack and kill the monkeys with a pot she got from the kitchen. She was running crazily whacked to death every monkey that she saw. In the madness of it all she accidentally whacked and killed FlayBlade. She cried as she saw FlayBlade’s dead body. Suddenly a monkey grabbed on the back of her neck. Ursula shrived, as she knew the monkey was going to bite her and turn her into a monkey also. She tried to scream but she couldn’t. Why cant I scream she thought, I need someone to help me. I have to scream, she tried but nothing came out…

Chapter 31
My Life on Tora Bora Bora—The Story of Maximo


Skully and crew set out to find Clive Saltdogg. Hackin Eve told Skully that he used to frequent the bars on Island Marco. The crew was about 2 weeks off from Island Marco, but sailing weather that day was very good.
Oy, Captain. Lurg Said. Aye there bes a storm brewing for tonight.

Aye, aint nothing the ship can’t handle, Skully replied to him.


The day went by pretty uneventfully as they sailed along. Once evening came Maximo began to tell a story about his life on Tora Bora Bora, of course he told it to Hackin Eve and she interpreted it for everyone.
For many many years Tora Bora Bora was completely uninhabhitated by humans. But we always had the threat of the evil Beowulf. The Beowulf was a beast that only hunted and ate jackalopes. Jackalopes like myself were once peaceful gentile animals but once humans came we had to change our image—we had to be known as tough fierce animals. When the BlueBeard clan came to our island to use it as a hideout for the opium trade they killed many jackalopes. My mother, father, and many of my siblings were killed.

How many siblings did you have? Skully asked Maximo and Hackin Eve.

Hundreds, Hackin Eve said as she interpreted Maximo. Or at least I did. Before I left the island there was a genocide by the humans and the Beowulf, our species stopped living in communities and we only socialized with each other during mating season.

Oy, Bella Dizzy would love that lifestyle—horny unsocial bitch. Cannons said of Bella Dizzy. Bella Dizzy backhanded Cannons. Lurg quickly got in the middle of the two. As entertaining as a Bella Dizzy/Cannons McGee fight was the crew was more interested in Maximo’s life story.

Please continue Maximo and Hackin’ Eve—Skully said.

Once a jackalope is born they live with their mothers for 6 months before they go for on their own. Jackalopes are friends with all the animals in the forests on the island.

Thunderstruck over in the distance of the ship. It was clear that a storm was coming.

Maximo continued. Jackalopes are known endangered species. Before I left the island it would often be weeks or months until I found another jackalope. I found myself very lonely and very bored, so I began to watch the Acker brothers as they built the secret hideout on the island. I studied those humans and learned to understand their language. It was more than 5 months after the Ackers came to the island that you guys came visiting, and that when I met Hackin Eve and my life changed forever. I got enough courage to go up to Hackin Eve while she was peeing and I talked to her, and to my amazement she understood me. I was amazing, but our time was cut short as we heard screams coming from the field—and Hackin’ Eve’s mates were all taken captive. I watched as Hackin Eve attacked the men, killing three of them, and I watched as the other four had her surrounded, so I made a call and out of nowhere came about 7 jackalopes and together we attacked, and we saved Hackin Eve and her mates, it was simply amazing. The happiest day of my life came when I was asked to join the Judith Prosperous. And here I am still on the ship.

Wow Maximo, that is such a great story—Jolly Roger said sarcastically as he rolled his eyes.

Shut up Jolly Roger, I enjoyed it. Said Bella Dizzy.
The ship began to enter stormy waters the sky was dark. Skully decided that it was time to call it a night, and the crew went to their cabins. Ursula was a little hungry and decided to make herself a sandwich in the kitchen. But when she was in the kitchen, the ship was bouncing on horribly rough waters, and Ursula fell to the ground hitting her head, knocking her out cold.

Chapter 30

Chapter 30

The celebrations began early that day on Green Maria Island. Just as the sun was shining bright the crews of the Judith Prosperous and the Blood Galleon were awakening to the sounds of music—trumpets and other horns. Skully thought of the day’s agenda. Trumpets would awaken the group at 8am. They would then clean up and meet for breakfast at 9. At 11am there would be a ceremony given by the Spanish Armada honoring the group for either efforts. At 1:30pm there would be lunch. The rest of the day would be spent having events and activities till a dinner at 6. The dinner would be followed by a memorial service for those who are lost, and finally the rest of the night would be spent at the bar.


The day passed by with a lot of fun and a lot of drinking, until 6pm came and the group held a memorial service for those who were lost. Richart, Audra and Princess Nicolette Adelaide went to the stage at the front of the group to remember Princess Antoinette Violetta.

She was on the path to become a great Queen, she had all the qualities of a great Queen, and she was smart, beautiful, classy, down-to-earth, and caring. She will be greatly missed by the people of Spain—Richart said of the Princess.

I remember growing up and whenever I had a problem I would turn to my oldest sister Antoinette Violetta-- Audra began to say-- she was always there for me and was always so caring, I greatly admired the fact that she loved being a royal princess, she cared so much about the people of Spain, and even though I didn’t care to be a royal, she loved it and never abused her power. I truly feel bad for the people of Spain, Antoinette would have been a great Queen, now they are doomed, the future has gone from being classy and elegant to trashy and unclassy now that Nicole……. Lurg ran on stage and grabbed Audra and covered her mouth, for she was drunk and should be speaking out about her Nicolette in that way, even if she was trashy and unclassy. Nicolette shot Audra a horrible look.


Ursula and Skully came on stage to remember Chester Buoy. Their speech was simple yet emotional. Most everyone had tears in their eyes. Bella Dizzy and Venom Kisser came on stage to give a speech about their mother. Bella Dizzy was still crying. Venom Kisser began by making a shocking statement.
Before we begin I need to tell everyone that my mother did have a secret love child with Clegg Bluebeard. That secret love child is here in this room with us. It’s Cannons McGee. Cannons was told earlier that day about the news, but she was still shocked she couldn’t believe it. Cannons walked to the stage.

I was told that my mother was Liza Dregg this morning by Venom Kisser and a wave of emotions over came me. At first I was afraid, I was petrified, kept thinking I could never live with Bella as my sista. And then I thought how horrible it is to be a BlueBeard. And then I liked the idea of having Venom Kisser as a sister, I was liked her, but then I remember Bella Dizzy and anger grow inside of me, I really hate her, and now knowing that she is my sister I want to go hang myself on the mast of the Blood Galleon, or better yet ill hang her! Cannons rambled on about her hatred of Bella Dizzy, until Bella backhanded her, sending her flying off the stage, Cannons got and grabbed a chair and charged at Bella… but Venom Kisser intervened and stopped the two from fighting.
Please you two, we are here to remember our mother—Venom said to them. After the memorial for Liza Dregg,
Kittie came on stage to remember her baby.
My baby was lost during my time being held captive by the BlueBeards, the baby was truly a blessing for me because Barron and I had great difficulty in having a baby, he tried for many years to get pregnant and when my baby came it was a blessing, he was the world to me—and now he is gone, Kittie said as she began to weep. The memorial service concluded after that. As everyone was quietly leaving Captainess Kittie waved Skully over to her.
Skully—she began—there’s something you need to know about the baby.
Oy yes, he’s missing—Skully incorrectly answered by stating a clear fact.
Yes Skully but also… Barron and I tried everything to have that baby for years, but nothing worked, and we discovered that Barron couldn’t have children of his own… so we used you to be the surrogate father—Kittie said to him.
Oy, ye used me, not for sex? But to get ye preggers? Skully was shocked.
We named our baby Skully von Black—Kittie said to him.
Aye, I would have named him Tiger von Black, Skully said to Kittie as he winked. And she blushed.

******

The best part of the day came as everyone convened on the town’s bar. Everyone was having a merry o’ time. Lurg set up a table and was playing cards with Gale Arm, Blood Claw, Razorwind, Richart and Vasca De Gama. Ursula and Skull Cleavage were at the bar heavily flirting with the elderly bartender. Barron was telling stories to Maximo. Cats Eyes, Venom Kisser, and Knife Bane drunkenly sang horribly to the music that was being played. IronFist sat alone in a corner; because of course he felt that he is better then everyone else. Kittie and Deidre sat at a table and discussed magic. Audra was across the bar setting up a trap for Barron. Elmer Knifenose, Sid Cutler, Tobias Brower and Radley Cutler sat at the bar drinking pints. Bella Dizzy and Cannons were fighting for the attention of Jaques Rumswiller. Bella Dizzy had just finished her thimble sized drink, and was drunk. Dancing were Condi with Jane Smythe, Jolly Roger with Finale, and FlayBlade with Hackin Eve. Wait where’s Skully?

Suddenly the door blow open, the music stopped and Skully came in dressed in his infamous purple velvet suit and purple peacock hair. Everyone jaws dropped, and after a moment of complete silence the place erupted in laughter.
Aye, yes, mateys I still have this fine suit—Skully said to everyone. Skully joined the dancing and danced arm-in-arm with FlayBlade.
Why is it every time we’re at the bar that Skully and FlayBlade end up dancing arm in arm—Barron asked Kittie.
I dunt know Barron, its Skully. Kittie said to Barron.
After a few hours and many drinks Skully was dancing on the bar, doing a little jigg, as the elderly bartender whom Ursula and Skull Cleavage were lusting over, was trying to swat a broom at Skully.
Audra called Barron over to her.
Aye, me smallest matey, ye beckon? Asked Barron
Oy, yes Barron, I want to show ye something—Audra said as she pushed Barron backwards, making him fall into a large barrel.
A BARREL FULL OF FROGS!! Barron yelled and began to laugh. Everyone in the bar once again began to erupt in laughter.
Skully was sitting at the bar when a man in a dark cloak with his face hidden walked up to him.
Skully One-Eye—the man said. And Skully turned to the man.
The one and only—Skully said. The man handed Skully an envelope, Skully looked down at the envelope, and looked back up, but the man was gone.
Skully opened the letter. It said:

Help me Skully One Eye
Yer me only hope.
Cap'n Clive Saltdogg

What does this mean—Skully shouted.
Who is Clive Saltdogg and why does he want my help? Skully said out loud.
I can explain who is he—said Hackin Eve.
He’s an old captain of mine, he knew that I was sailing with ye, and must be in trouble. We must help him Skully—Hackin Eve said to him.



******

The next morning was a somber time. Not just because Jaques was freed from Bella Dizzy’s room but also because Richart, the dead princess, Princess Nicolette Adelaide and the Spanish Armada left for Spain.
Barron, Kittie and the rest of the crew were about to leave on the Blood Galleon.
It’s been a blast sailing with ye again Skully—Barron said.
Oy ye too matey, i've enjoyed ye company—Skully replied. But fear not, we shall sail together again soon.
Aye, yes, we’ll I’m sure ill see ye sailing in the seas—Barron said. Barron on the crew sailed away on the Blood Galleon. Leaving Cannons, FlayBlade and Jolly Roger to join the Judith Prosperous.
The crew of the Judith Prosperous now consists of:
Captain Skully One-Eye—Captain.
Lurg The Fist—1st Mate.
Yellow Condi Hackins—2nd Mate.
Bella Dizzy The Bitter—Medic/Bartender.
Audra Bellamy

Chapter 29

Chapter 29

After a night of rest and some time to allow the pirates to eat and clean up, Skully, Barron and Richart were deciding what the future holds for them. Richart decided that he and the Spanish Armada would go back to Spain, and he would take the body of Princess Antoinette Violetta, and the living princess, and also deliver the bad news to the Queen. Skully and his crew would return to the Judith Prosperous and Barron and his crew would be on their merry way on the Blood Galleon. But first the whole group would have a big party-celebration.


Meanwhile, as Skully, Barron and Richart were having their discussion, the crew of the ships was gossiping about the presence of Maeghan Belle. They were mad that Skully saved her and brought her with them, for they decided that she was evil and many times before tired to kill and hurt Skully, and that she would again try to. Bella Dizzy decided that she needed to talk with Skully about it, and while she would, a bunch of the piratess’ would give Maeghan a little “talk” of their own.


Skully met up again with the rest of the crew later that afternoon.
Skully, can I speak to you for a second? Bella asked him.
Of course matey Dizzy—he said.
Meself and a few of the other pirates are a little concerned about the fact that ye saved Maeghan Belle and brought her here with us, we feel that she will hurt ye again, Bella said.
Never fear my large breasted friend, for everything will be ok—Skully said to her.


During Skully’s and Bella’s conversation, Audra Bellamy, Finale, Ursula, and Cannons found Maeghan Belle in her cabin. The piratess’ quickly surrounded her and began to question her. Maeghan got very nervous. The piratess’ were getting more and more intense while questioning her. Finally Audra jumped into the air and punched Maeghan in the face. And that set off the 3 other piratess’ to attack also. The dust up only lasted for a few minutes until Barron walked by.
Oy, look what ye did, now the low-life scum of a woman is layin’ on the ground cryin, Skully aint gonna be too happy, mateys—Barron said to them.
Audra walk with me and let me tell ye about the time I gave a mate of mine a barrel of frogs—Barron said to her. Audra hung her head as she walked down the hallway with Barron as he told her this story again. The rest of the pirates’ laughed at Audra and ran back upstairs to the deck, leaving Maeghan cry on the ground.


That afternoon Skully got a small ship run by a few members of the Spanish Armada and set off to a small nearby island called St. George Island with Maeghan Belle. Not a lot of the pirates knew of the island but Skully did and was very welcomed their by the inhabitants of the island. The inhabitants of the island were dwarfs, and not very welcoming of pirates. Theres a reason that Skully is welcomed on the island, but it’s a secret. Maeghan Belle thought that Skully had brought her to the island to marry her, as did Skully’s mates, and they were all pissed, Maeghan was very happy that she was seemingly able to trick Skully into her wicked games. Skully and Maeghan walked down a path on the island talking to all the little dwarfs that they passed, till finally they got to a soaring tower. The tower was surrounded by a moat and only had windows at the very top; the tower was over 100 feet high (which is really a great feat for a dwarf to accomplish). Skully told Maeghan to go inside the tower, and climb all the way to the top. So Maeghan Belle thinking that she was going to be married in the tower, she happily squeezed through the little dwarf size door, and climbed the stairs to the top. Once she looked down she saw Skully commanding 3 little dwarfs as they began to mortar cement and rocks over the door.
Skully, she screamed down to him, what are you doing, you can’t do this?
Aye, but I can, the dwarfs will leave a little opening for which they will serve ye breakfast, lunch and dinner—Skully said to her.
But how long are ye leaving me here for? She asked him.
Aye, forever—Skully said to her. Skully began to walk back down the path to the boat.
But i'm pregnant, she said.
Not with my baby, Skully thought to himself.


Once Skully got back to the group of pirates, it was dusk now; he told them all about trapping Maeghan in the tower. They were very happy to hear that he didn’t get tricked by her again. He announced that tomorrow would be the big party, the group went to dinner.


After everyone had gone to bed, Bella Dizzy and Venom Kisser were outside in the dark cool night under the moonlight. Bella Dizzy was crying about her mother’s death, and Venom Kisser was trying to consol her. Bella Dizzy took her mothers death very hard, even though she had only known her mother for a few months.
Unexpectedly a glowing figure began to float towards them.
Serendipity, is that you? Venom Kisser asked. But no it wasn’t. It was the apparition of their Liza Dregg.
Mom!! Both of the girls said at the same time.
Yes its me, Liza said.
Oh mom, I cant believe your dead, I didn’t even get to spend much time with you—Bella said to her.
I will always be with you, watching out for you—Liza Dregg said.
Even when I’m having sex??—Bella Asked. Venom Kisser just shook her head.
There is something that you girls need to know, you too have a sister—Liza Dregg said. She began to fad away again.
Who?—Venom Kisser asked.
Just before she disappeared, Liza Dregg managed to say “McGee”.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO—Bella screamed.

Chapter 28

Chapter 28

Skully, Barron and crew awoke from getting a few hours of sleep, and it was now a nice sunny day. It the first time that the crew has seen a sunny warm day since the Black Betty first sank. FlyBlade had been keeping guard all night in case any of the BlueBeard men should still be alive, which is doubtful, everyone in the place had been slaughtered. The only person unaccounted for was Bully Hayes, but he could have perished in the fire. Skully and Barron awoke at the same time, for they had been sleeping arm-in–arm under a large oak tree. Skully looked up at the palace still smothering, completely destroyed.

Aye, Captains—FlayBlade began.

Look at there into the horizon, FlayBlade said as he pointed out beyond the cliff into the water.

Why it’s the Spanish Armada, Madison did it she got to them—Skully shouted happily, awakening everyone else.

Oy, yes Skully, but the thing is we don’t need any back up, matey, we have destroyed the BlueBeards all by ourselves—Barron said to Skully.

Aye, yes but we do need to get off this dreadful island. Skully said back to him.

True, true, said Barron.

CREW!! EVERYONE WAKE UP!! Its time to leave this island. Skully was shouting to awaken everyone. The crew began to get their things together. But before they were about to leave someone from inside the palace was screaming Skullys name.
Skully!! Help me Skully—the voice said.
Please don’t go in their Skully, its not structurally sound—Audra said to him. But Skully went into the rubble of the palace none-the-less.
After a few minutes of search Skully found Maeghan Bella trapped under a large cross beam.
Help me Skully—she said. Skully lifted the cross beam off of her, and picked her up and there her over his shoulder, and walked out of the destroyed palace.


As the whole crew walked down a winding ramp that was only thick enough for one person long the cliff, to the beach to wait for rowboats to bring them to the ships. But as the crew walked to the island the unintentionally walked in uniform of high going from the shortest to the tallest. With Maximo leading followed by Audra, Skull Cleave, and Hackin Eve, and ending with Skully, Barron, Lurg, Gale Arm and lastly Jolly Roger.

As they walked along the rocky beach FlayBlade and Cannons McGee were up to their usually flirting/rough-housing ways, FlayBlade pushed Cannons McGee making her fall on the rocks, and she lost a tooth.


The crew met the Spanish Armada ships’ at the beach, the ships at sent out smaller rows boats to gather the crew. Richart directed the ships back to Green Maria Island where the crew will all rest up and clean up. Tomorrow everyone will be going back to there homes. But for now, the pirates were just happy that they were leaving Cross Key Island, former home of the BlueBeards.


Meanwhile on the opposite side of the island Bully Hayes was pulling a rowboat into the water, and in his hands he carried a baby.

Chapter 27

Chapter 27

Medusa came out of the interior depths of the palace for the first time in many weeks to see the action that were going on. She went outside and stumbled upon Liza Dreggs’ dead flattened body that was on the ground. Her archenemy was finally dead, she thought to herself. But Medusa now had a very evil plan up her sleeve.


Tres Ackers and Seis Ackers had finally found Hackin’ Eve Bones and Maximo in the library of the palace, it was time for the two Acker’s to get their revenge on Hackin Eve and Maximo for killing their five brothers. Tres and Seis were much stronger now, and would not be as easily defeated like either brothers. Hackin Eve and Maximo were trapped in the library and knew they had to put up a fight of their lives. Hackin Eve was only armed with a dagger, and Maximo… well he had his antlers of course. The two Ackers raced at them and grabbed Eve and powerfully threw her against a bookcase; she fell to the floor unconscious. Maximo jumped up and stuck his antler into Tres Ackers abdomen. Maximo managed to keep the Ackers from getting to Eve until she regained her consciousness, which were only a few minutes. Once Eve was back on her feet, Maximo accidentally let his guard down for a moment. Tres picked him up by his cottontail and threw him out of the room and closed the door. Maximo listen from outside the door to the shouts, grunts, and slams of Eve and the Ackers’ fighting inside. Abruptly a huge bang was heard, and things were silent inside. The jackalope got nervous and started to claw at the door, when it swiftly opened and Hackin Eve walked out, sweating and looking beat down. Maximo looked back into the library and saw a bookcase on top of the two dead Ackers. How Eve managed that one is anyone guess.



In the intervening time, in the next room over Ursula Birdwind and Skull Cleave found Clegg hiding in the study. Clegg thought to himself that the two of them would be no threat to him, because they are both cooks, but he was in for a surprise. Ursula and Skull Cleave went on the attack. Skull Cleave was swinging her ladle (why she had her ladle with her is anyone’s guess) and Ursula was swinging a whisk. The two piratess’ charged at Clegg. As they got closer her began to get scared of them. Skull Cleave smacked him in the hip with the ladle, as Ursula hit him in the arm with the whisk. Clegg know that his time was growing to a quick end if he didn’t do something soon. Skull Cleave and Ursula had Clegg cornered against a wall, he reached into his pocket and put some gun powder into his hand, and then quickly grabbing a torch from the wall he threw the gun powder into the air and blow it into the flame of the torch, making a giant fire ball. Ursula and Skull Cleave dodged the fireball, just in the nick of time. But the fireball raced past them and hit someone whom had just walked into the room. The fireball blackened the persons face and the person fell to the ground screaming. The fireball flew past the person and exploded onto the wall, erupting into a fire. Ursula and Skull Cleave raced over to see who the person was. The person was screaming sounds of death, and the smell of burning flesh filled the air. The persons face was completely burnt off. Clegg ran out of the burning room as Ursula and Skull Cleavage (HAHA) tended to the burn victim. Ursula recognized the shoes the person had on.

I recognize those shoes! This person was a pirate on the Judith Prosperous. It’s umm… Its CHESTER BOUY—Ursula shouted over the screams of Chester.

We have to do something Ursula; he’s dying in pain! —Shouted Skull Cleave.

I know, what should we do, he’s dying such a painful death, replied Skull Cleave.

Are you suggesting we ease the pain, Skull Cleave? Ursula asked as her eyes filled with tears.

We must! Said Skull Cleave.

Ursula knew that Chester was in extreme pain, and even with immediate medical attention he would not make it. So she grabbed his sword, and with tears rolling down her eyes quickly stuck it into his chest, forever releasing him of pain. Ursula and Skull Cleave ran out of the room as the fire began to spread to other rooms of the palace.


Bella Dizzy and Venom Kisser were in the grand hallway now on a rampage, killing every one of the BlueBeards’ men that came near them. They were slicing, and chopping and destroying the enemy. Other pirates were in the room also, including Jolly Roger, Finale, Vasca, and everyone of Barron’s’ crew. But suddenly something stopped all of them dead in their tracks. Liza Dregg walked into the room…..
There was something weird about Liza Dregg though, her eyes were yellow and she was acting different.
MOM!! Bella Dizzy screamed as she dropped her sword and ran over to give her mother a hug.
Stop; don’t hug me, Liza Dregg screamed. But Bella Dizzy hugged her anyways.
I was so scared that you were dead—Bella said as they embraced, Bella loosened her hug and stepped back, and as she did a flap of skin fell from the side of Liza’s face. Bella Dizzy screamed as everyone else gasped. At that moment the entire skin on her body began to fall to the ground, and like a butterfly coming out of a cocoon Medusa was reviled.
You put my mothers dead body yourself, to use as a disguise!?!? Bella Screamed.

Yes I did my plan worked. Medusa said.

One of the snakes from atop her head struck Bella Dizzy on the forehead. Bella just stood there staring at Medusa. The bite didn’t go threw all the cloth that was wrapped around her head, covering her wound. Bella Dizzy grabbed her dagger and struck the snake on Medusa’s head. Bella went on to slice every snake off her head, and then finished off, by slicing Medusa in the throat. All the pirates in the grand hallway ran out of the room just as the roof collapsed into the room.


The night began to slowly lighten, as the fire began to tear through the palace. Just outside the palace on the cliff that over looks the sea, Barron told all the pirates to meet outside the palace because the place was going up in flames, but the pirates were slow to come because they were all in battles. Barron Von Black and Captainess Kittie and Audra and Lurg were finally reunited. Kittie told Barron that the baby had been taken from her, and she hasn’t seen him in weeks. One by one the all the pirates came out of the burning palace. Not before along all the pirates along with Richart with the dead princess’ body, the living princess, the Elders’ the new recruits of Jane Smythe and Jaques Rumswiller and the rest of the crew were out of the burning palace, waiting on the cliff for the sun to come up, until someone realized the Skully was missing.

Skully!!! The pirates began to scream. They screamed for nearly 20 minutes for Skully, when two dark figures came walking out of the darkness beside the palace. It was Skully One-Eye and he had Clegg BlueBeard with him, his hands were tied behind his back. Skully released Clegg into the middle of the pirates who formed a ring around him.

Where’s my baby? Kittie asked him.

He must have died in the fire. Replied Clegg.

Bella Dizzy, Venom Kisser, Audra Bellamy, and Kittie began to get closer to Clegg. They were yelling at him and threatening him, because each of them had lost a loved one because of him. Clegg was backed into the edge of the cliff over the water, with the four powerful women coming closer to him. Bella Dizzy, Venom Kisser, Audra Bellamy, and Kittie realized that they had Clegg on the edge of the cliff and to the edge of death, and each one of the women wanted to be the one to push him off the cliff. They began to hip-check, and shove each other out of the way, until they all fell and rolled as one uniform ball into Clegg making him fall off the cliff and into the water below. All the pirates watched as his arms waved about and screamed as he fell into the darkness below.

Chapter 26

Bella Dizzy began to wake up again while she was in the tunnel. She looked around and only saw Maximo, and she didn't know how she had gotten there.
What happened? Where are we? She asked Maximo.
Well my dear you see, you were shot in the forehead while fighting on the Dutch Fleut and you had bad brain trauma that made you insane. But I'm glad that you're feeling better now. The pirates are going to need our help, because we are now in the midst of a major battle in the BlueBeards palace-- Maximo said to Bella Dizzy.
We must go save my mother and sister and fellow pirates, Bella declared, as the two of them left the tunnel and headed out into the palace.

Upstairs in Cleggs chambers, Clegg was having a heated argument with Liza Dregg about a missing child the two have, while Venom Kisser and the two princesses watched. Audra Bellamy had climbed just below the balcony of the room and was watching them, when suddenly some of the guardsmen busted through the door.
Sir, one of the guardsmen began; we have a situation going down.
Well actually its two situations, jumped in another guardsmen.
It seems as though we are under attack by Skully and Barron, said the first guardsmen.
BLASTED! Clegg screamed. They lived, that's impossible, the ships had sunk.
Well Bully Hayes and Daris made it back alive, so it's not that impossible—said Princess Nicolette Adelaide. This made Clegg start to fume. Audra climbed down the wall and passed the news down to Skully that Bully Hayes and Daris made it back to the island alive, and that Clegg was not aware of the attack on his palace.
Oh lover boy!! Clegg heard the yell came from below his balcony. Clegg came walked over to the balcony with his guardsmen and looked down to see who had called him. He saw Skully dressed as one of his guardsmen.
Didn't think id make it back alive to come after ya, huh? Skully said to him. As Cannons, Audra, Finale and Jolly Roger began to hurl rocks up at the guardsmen and Clegg. Three out of the five guardsmen were hit, and fell to the floor. And Clegg and the other two guards stepped out of the sight of the pirates on the ground. Suddenly they appeared again, but this time the guardsmen held Liza Dregg in their arms. Venom Kisser yelled to your mother who was now that the edge of the four story high balcony. A loud scream came from the ground near Skully; it was Bella Dizzy and Maximo running over to Skully under the balcony.
Mom!! Bella Dizzy screamed.
You wouldn't tell me where my child is being kept, so you will die. Clegg declared to Liza Dregg, as he gave the guards the order. The guards gave her a shove.
Liza Dregg came falling four stories, and plastered on the grass right in front of Skully and the other pirates, covering them with blood, brain, and guts. Bella Dizzy from the ground and Venom Kisser from up in the balcony began to cry. Clegg with the guardsmen and the princesses retreated and disappeared into the palace. Leaving everyone else to deal with the shock of Liza Dreggs death.

Back in the in other areas of the palace the pirates were all engaged in battles with guards of the BlueBeards. Barron managed to save the prisoners from inside the dungeon, and he was reunited with Kittie, but her baby was still missing.
Skully was still outside the palace under the balcony, when he heard someone calling his name. He looked around and in the window he saw Maeghan Belle. She was calling to him, Skully told his group to go and help Barron and Richart fight, and Skully went running to the window that Maeghan was at.
What do you want?—he asked her.
I want you to save me, Skully.
What do you mean save ye? Ye choose to run off with Daris, and abandon me. Skully said to her.
Yes it true, I hate you and now you’re going to die—Maeghan said to him. As a thunderous noise came from a top the palace, Skully looked up and saw a giant bolder come flying down. Maeghan Belle had set up a trap against him. He managed to jump out of the way, just before it was crush him. The bolder then rolled for awhile on the grass, rolling nearly 300 yards, plowing over Liza Dreggs dead body, making the remains a pancake, the bolder then rolled off the cliff and into the water below.
You managed to dodge that one Skully, but now I’m going to finally kill you—said Daris coming up from behind him. Maeghan Belle watched from the window as Skully and Daris fought on the ground below. Daris came swinging at Skully with a sword, Skully was defense less without any weapons, and he managed to duck under the swings of Daris and finally knocked Daris to the ground. Skully jumped onto Daris and began to slam Daris’ head onto a rock, until his head busted open and his body lay still. Maeghan screamed as Daris lay motionless with his head busted up. Dead.

Inside the palace Audra found Clegg with her two princess sisters alone in a dead-end hallway.
Free my sister, Clegg—she said to him. As she walked closer to him.
Never—he said as he held the two in each arm. Any closer and ill kill them.
Audra stopped moving towards him. Thunderstruck from the night sky outside, and in the flash of the lightning Princess Nicolette Adelaide broke free from Clegg clutches and ran towards Audra. Clegg screamed as he pulled a knife from under his cloak. Audra and Nicolette watched as Clegg stabbed Princess Antoinette Violetta in the chest. She fell to the floor, Audra began to run at Clegg, but he jumped out of the window. Audra looked back at her dying sister. Audra and Nicolette kneeled over Antoinette as a pool of blood surrounded her body.
I love you both, tell Mother that I love her too, and Nicolette, were going to be a great Queen, the heir to the throne of Spain said her finally words…

Chapter 25

Lurg and his fellow prisoners found themselves surrounded in a large arena by nearly a dozen starving raging beasts. Always quick thinking Lurg had a plan.
Oy, Captainess Kittie, do ye know how to make fire? Lurg asked.
Ay, I do Lurg, what do ye have planned? She asked.
Lurg went on telling his plan to the crew.
What I need ye to do is to cast a ring of fire around us, which will keep out that big 10-foot long hog beast, and should keep the wolves away. And what I am thinking is that the lions, tigers and wolves are all starving, and if there is a ring of fire around us then they wont attack us, they will all go after the hog.
Once Lurg was finished telling the group the plan, Captainess Kittie, made a large ring of fire around the group. The ring of fire was able to keep the hog away, and much like Lurg had predicted the lions began to hunt the hog, and the wolves cluttered together and howled. But leaping through the flames came the five tigers, fierce, showing their teeth and drooling as they slowly inch their way towards the prisoners. Hackin Eve jumped forward and started to smoothly talk to the animals, for Hackin Eve had a way with animals, and she could try to reason with them. Lurg warned Hackin Eve that her ways with charming animals wouldn’t work on the tigers but Eve was persistent. The tigers didn’t want any sweetness, they were hungry and wanted to eat. One of the tiger reached out its paw and sliced Hackin Eve across the face. Lurg had seen enough. Lurg quickly pulled Eve away from the tigers, and in the same second took Burt’s sword and slit his throat, killing him…. He then grabbed Burts’ body and in doing so covered himself in blood, and throw Burts’ body to the tigers; they bounced on it at once. The prisoners were safe… for the moment. Something was unleashed in Lurg, he began is crazed warrior, with Burts blood on his face, chest and hands, a dagger in one hand and a sword in the other, he jumped out of the ring of fire, and ran towards the hog, which was being closely stalked by the lions, Lurg raced up to the hog jumping onto it back. And stabbed his sword into the back of its neck, but not enough to kill the beast, but enough to control the movements of the beast by turning his sword. He had the beast race back towards the ring of fire. The lions managed to jump out of the arena and attack some of Cleggs guards who were in the stands. Meanwhile back inside the ring of fire the prisoners were bandaging up Hackin Eves bleeding cheek, and closely watching to make sure the tigers didn’t finish eating their meal yet.

Yelling to Kittie, Lurg said: Take away the flames… get rid of the flames!! Kittie complied, and the flames were gone just as the hog came rushing over, directed by Lurg. And in a thunderous crash of blood, bones, beast, and amazing ness the hog plowed into the tigers trampling them to death. Screams could be heard as the tigers were crushed. Lurg shifted the blade of the sword a few inches killing the hog of a beast. Clegg from his seat in the stands screamed, as his beasts didn’t kill the prisoners. Gates to the arena opened and the wolves and lions ran out into the outside, a few minutes later the BlueBeards guards came into the arena taking the captives back to the dungeon.




Meanwhile back across the island at the bottom of the cliff Skully was getting pretty pissed that there was someone following the crew.
ARGH matey, I cant stand it… the darn fools not even doing a good job to be sneaky! And every time I turn to look at him, he doesn’t hide well. I just wanna throw a rock up there and knock him out! Skully said to Barron and Richart.
Skully grabbed a rock and threw it at the person that was following the group around the island. The man who was following them was on a ledge on the cliff and the rock hit him in the head. The man shook his head in dazement then realized that Skully and Barron were looking straight at him. In trying to hide from the views of Skully and Barron, the person covered his eyes with his hands (one of his hands was missing its ring finger).
Eh, we can still see ya matey—Barron said to the fellow. But he still covered his eyes.
Yes, yes I see ye, hello, I see you—Barron kept saying, as Skully grabbed another rock and hurled it at the fellow. Once he got hit a second time he lost his balance and fell from the ledge onto the ground in front of Barron and Skully. Cannons and FlayBlade picked him up, as he was screaming “not the hair!!! Don’t mess up my hair!!”
Why are ye following us—asked Skully, as Barron held his moon star to his throat.
I was told to, replied the man.
By whom?—asked Richart.
A friend of ye’s, he wanted me to make sure that ye are goin abouts the right direction to get onto the plateau and into the palace—said the man.
Who? Asked Skully. Just as Finale and Jolly Roger came running up to Skully.
Captain—began Finale—we’ve found a cave up ahead… there’s something in there that ye may want to see. Skully, Richart, Finale and Jolly Roger went up ahead to the cave as Barron stayed with this new fellow. They got to the large cave and walked inside. And to his surprise Skully found his mateys that he had leave the sinking ship were there waiting for him, it was Tobias Brower, Deidre Vasquez, Maximo, Radley Cutler, Elmer Knifenose, and Skull Cleave.
Ye met our friend eh? Asked a mumbling Tobias Brower.
Ah yes, we’ve met him… who is he? Replied Skully.
His names Jaques Rumswiller…. He was a former mate of mine, on one of me ol’ ships, he was captured by the BlueBeards, but escaped and has been living on this island for years now. He’s good and will help us get into the palace and destroy the BlueBeards—answered Tobias.
Is that Bella Dizzy the Bitter, over that pirates shoulder? —Asked Jaques Rumswiller.
Aye, it is mate—answered Skully. Ye know her, eh?
Aye, I do… we dated many years ago, and she fell in love with me, and I didn’t have the same feelings for her as she did for me…. She was much more into sex than I was, and it was just not working out. So I broke up with her by leaving a letter on her bed. And in the past 4 years I have only ran into her once and it didn’t turn out well. Tis the reason that I only have 9 fingers… I’m the reason she’s BITTER! And I feel horrible for it, that and I’m scared out of me mind of her wrath. Explained Jaques.
Ah very interesting—Responded Skully.
Oy, what happened to her, she’s unconscious? Asked Jaques.
Oh, she got shot in the forehead, and due to brain trauma, and or massive loss of blood she is now mentally insane. Answered Skully.
That’s temporarily insane… it should dissipate over time, chirped in Cannons McGee.

Captains. Tobias said to Skully, Barron and Richart. This cave will lead us up onto the plateau and into the palace. But I must warn ye, it is heavily guarded, and we are very low on weapons.
The 3 captains looked around to see that the crew in fact didn’t have enough weapons, only a few knives, one sword that was Barron’s, a pistol, some daggers, and many held rocks and sticks.
Aye, if there’s one thing these pirates know how to do its fist-to-fist battles. We should be ok—Barron said to Tobias. After a few minutes, all the pirates began their way deep inside the cave.

Back inside the palace Clegg had Venom Kisser and Liza Dregg brought from the dungeon to his chambers. It was there that Venom Kisser learned that her mother used to work for Clegg and that she still paid monthly dues the BlueBeards. It became clear the Venom Kisser that Clegg and Liza were romantically involved, and that Liza had a baby with Clegg, but in an effort to keep the baby save she hid the baby somewhere.
Can you imagine that there’s another Venom Kisser/Bella Dizzy in the world, Venom Kisser thought to herself.
Clegg was pissed at Liza Dregg and wanted to know where his child was, but Liza Dregg refused to tell him.
The only reason that I have not killed you yet Liza Dregg, is because you have my child, but when I find out where the child is, you’ll be dead! Clegg said to her.




It was along walk up the cave, about a mile or two. Deidre Vasquez used her magic to light all the lanterns on the wall therefore allowing the light to expose their path. And luckily for the pirate clan they now had Jaques, who know the path in the cave to get to the palace, so the clan would not take the wrong path.

After nearly an hour of walking in the cave the clan got the a fork with two tunnels going off in either direction, one direction lead to a hallway in the palace, and the other lead to the dungeon. The clan decided to break into 2 groups. Skully and Barron would lead one group and Richart would lead the other. They would leave the unconscious Bella Dizzy in the cave, with Maximo to babysit/ guard her.

Suddenly a large wall from the palace began to turn and open and five guardsmen came running out. They seemed surprised to see the pirates in the cave, but before they could turn around and alert anyone, the clan attacked.
The pirates stripped the guards of their clothes once they were killed. Plans were now changed. Barron would still lead a group into the dungeon and free the prisoners… Richart and a small group would try to find the princess’… And Skully and four others would put on the guards uniforms and go under cover and find Clegg.

Skully took Audra, Cannons, Flay Blade, and Jolly Roger with him, all dressed as guardsmen. They snuck out into the hallway of the palace. And walked down the hallway to a window, and jumped outside onto the grass. Skully felt that they could move around the palace easier from the outside, it will cut down the risk of running into any of the BlueBeards, and they could pretend to be on guards duty outside if anyone came near.

The day was growing dark and turning into night as the palace was being infiltrated by the pirates. Skully knew it wouldn’t be long until the BlueBeards would find out about their presence, especially once Barron destroys all the guards in the dungeon.

Skully and the other undercovers' came beneath a balcony that was 4 stories up. Up on the balcony they could see lights and hear and see people moving about. Audra began to climb the stone fortress of the palace. And made her way up almost to the balcony but just a little lower. She was able to see Clegg, the princess’ Liza Dregg and Venom Kisser. Meanwhile down in the dungeon Barron and his group had just begun their attack on the guards. And Richart and his group were in a heavy battle in the grand ballroom.
