Jim POV
The tunnel inside of the planet lead us right next to the pirate camp. lucky everyone was sleeping
perfect, we are going to die.
"WHATS THE PLAN!" Ben yells
"SHHHH! Ben! Quiet!" I whisper yell and cover his mouth
this robot needs to shut up before I shut him up!
"Ok here it is... we sneak back to the legacy, disable the laser cannons, get Gail, and bring back the map." I say with Ben the whole time nodding and saying mhm,
"thats a good plan, I like that plan. the only thing is, I'm wondering how do we get there?"
"on that!" I say pointing to the escape boat
----
we peak our heads over the sides to see if anyone was there and we climbed over.
"AHH!" ben yells as he falls and crashes onto the deck
"Ben! Shh!" I say trying not the raise my own voice
"sorry, sorry. Sorry!" Ben says lowering his voice
We quietly walk over to the stairs that lead to the lower part of the ship, and I look around the corner to make sure no ones coming
"Ok, I'll find Gail and get the map, you wait here-" I say putting out my hand to block Ben from going any further
"Roger Jimmy! I'll neutralize laser cannons SIR!" Ben says getting a little too loud and yelling out his last words, which scared morph and caused me to freeze to process what he just said
"Ben! Ben!" I say reaching out for him but it was too late, he was already running off, singing "yo-ho, yo-ho, a pirates life for me!" All I could do was hope that he didn't mess up when neutralizing the laser canons and didn't get caught.
I walk down to the hold to find the rope pile where morph hid the map, I reach in and I dont feel anything. I tap my hand around the pile of ropes
"shit... shit! SHIT!" I say slaming my hand on the ground and morph runs behind my back "Sorry bud I just can't believe its gone. Wait, but if its not here and sliver doesn't have it, then who does?"
Gail POV
"ok, all I have to do is find a way off this boat, get to Jim, and not get caught! Easy right!" I say aloud while running down the orlop [lowest part of the ship] trying to find a way out of this hell hole, just as I'm about turn to head up the stairs I hear a loud beeping, I turn around another conner to see a robot in a room with a panel and a LOT of wires.
"Bad Ben! Bad! Okay, fixing!"
"What the hell!" I say running up to the bot and push him up against the wall "who are you and who are you with."
"whoa whoa. Whoa! Lady I don't even know... OH MY G.O.D! YOU'RE GAIL! LIKE THE GAIL! you know my friend Jimmy just kept going on and on and on and on and on and on and-"
"Ok! I get it! Wait? Jimmy? Jim was with you?" I ask slowly putting down the bot
"Yeah! Me and Jimmy go wayyyy back! I mean we met this afternoon but we are practically attached at the hip!" The bot says
"then where is he bot?" I say crossing my arms
"um the name is Ben, not Bot. and um, i know he went to get... oh dang what was it? a um, the um, OH! it was a rope!"
"a rope?" I say raising a brow
"wait no! It was a MAP! the map!"
"Look bot, let's just find Jim and get off this ship."
"hold on, hold on, I got to neutralize the laser cannons, I can't believe I almost forgot!" Ben says stopping in his tracks,
"fine, but make it quick." I say turning
"laser cannons, laser cannons, op! i bet its this one!"
Ben pulls a plug and the lights all go out
"BEN!" I yell
"Whoops! Don't panic! Breathe in! Breathe out!" and the backup lights flick back on
"BEN! NO! Let me do it!"
"tah! tah! tah! I've got it, you micro-manger!" Ben continues with a flap of his hand "this has got to be cannons!"
"you don't know?!! Oh my ether Ben what did you doOoOooO!" I say as my feet leave the ground
"maybe I'm wrong!" Ben yells
out of the conner of my eye I see a red alien and
"Jim!"
Jim POV
my head hits the floor and the blaster is knocked out of my hand, could this rescue mission go any worse, I reach for the gun but its too late scroop tackles I prepare for the worst but I can feel myself start to float off the ground
What the hell is the hunk of metal doing! ok how am I going to get scroop off of me...
BAM! my legs made contact with scroop's stomach and he crashed through the grate above us
Well that one way to do it.
Unfortunately I went through the now new hole in the ceiling.
someone better get the gravity back on soon...
I tired to reach for the blaster but it was still way too far away, and there was nothing for me to grab on, unfortunately scroop grabbed center mast and as I passed him he hit my foot causing me to spin out of control.
Shit I'm gonna hurl
as I'm spinning my back and head hits the crows nest and the world starts to go fuzzy and black.
shit.
Gail POV
Jim's back hit the crows nest
crap he probably passed out, ok ok the best way to do this is...
I climb up the shrouds and jump up to the rafters then make it to the crows nest just before scroop and tie my ankle to the center mast so I don't float away, I glance up to Jim and see he's wrapped up in the flag but just about to slip, that doesn't matter though because scroop is here and breaking the rope, just as the rope broke I jumped up and hit scroop causing him to fall back and float up past the flag and into the sky.
I grab the rope and pull it down but not quite far enough for Jim to not fall, he hit the floor with a thump, waking him up
"Ugg..." Jim rubs the back of his head and sits up "Gail? You're alive?"
"duh? I told you Hawkins, I can take care of myself!"
"I can see that, we've got to get out of here before Silver finds out we're here, wait! the map! I couldn't find it!"
"Oh you mean this map?" I say pulling the map out of Jim's jacket pocket "oh and um here" I take off Jim's jacket and hand it back to him
"Keep it for saving my butt" Jim says standing after catching the orb
"oh! thanks," I say giving him a small smile and putting the jacket back on
Jim looked like he wanted to say more but just as he was about to start talking a noise came from the pipe next to us
"what is-" I start to say just as morph came out of that pipe covered in black soot coughing "Morphie!" I say and he swirls around my head
"Laser cannons disconnected, captain jimmy sir!" says Ben from down below covered in wires "see, that wasn't so tough!"
"god Jim where did you find this bot?" I say with a sigh
