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…
