Gail POV
the engine stalled 2 more times before turning on
"Yes! Morph we are so out of here!" Jim shouts to morph as he maneuvers the wheel to get us aligned with the exit and avoid the lasers. morph begins to laugh as we get closer to the exit.
"We are going to live like royalty when we get back home!" I say as Jim and me smile "Jim! head south towards the exit." I say in a very commanding voice
"Yes captain!" he says with a solute
"Ah! Jimbo! Lass! Are you the Seventh wonder of the universe!" It was Silver, he begins to walk towards us slowly but he quickly ups his pace.
Jim stood there in shock for a moment before he moves for the sword wedged in the floor boards and I grab the knife from my belt.
"Get. Back." Jim states flatly, Silver recoils slightly at the sight of the sword and knife, looking down, when he looks back up his happy demeanor gone now replaced by a scowl.
"I like you two, quite a bit in fact, but I've come too far to let you stand between me and me treasure." Silver walks toward me and Jim step back before he can be impaired by either of us
Shit I've got to do something!
I spin the knife around in my hand, getting lower to the ground to attack the cyborg
"So. have. WE!" I yell before I lunge for Silvers leg but he catches my hand and throws me towards the stern
"Oh I'm not falling for that again lass." He says heading straight towards Jim who was now backed up against the wheel
"GAIL!" He yells and lunges for me but Silver catches him and holds him by his wrist "Let me go Silver! Let me-" Jim starts to yell but hes cut off by one of the lasers hitting the ship
third person POV
Jim it thrown off the ship and on to the wall where he finds a small ledge to grip on to after falling
Gail is also tossed off the ship onto the platform that, a few inches away, could end her life.
Silver isn't thrown off but his and grips onto the ship but it seems to be pulled into the beam cutting it nearly in half
"Oh no you don't!" Silver shouts pulling the ship away from the beam and back to the platform where his feet land, morph runs up to the man frantically "what?" Silver says as Morph points to Jim hanging on for dear life to the wall, and looks down to see Gail doing the same on the edge of the platform just a few feet away. "Jimbo... Gail..." Silver switches from his hand to a clamp, giving him more stretch to reach Gail, but just as he reaches the girl falls, "Gail!" Silver yells
"Gail!" Yells Jim, but before the boy can see if she's alright tears start to swell in his eyes and his grip begins to slip.
----
Unbeknownst to the Cyborg or the boy Gail grabs a ledge below the platform, she pulls herself from ledge to ledge before latching onto a rope thats hanging down from the ship, she pulls herself up and onto the boat, she realizes this is her last chance to grab any gold and pockets two fistfuls in Jim's jacket.
----
Sliver sighs and gets ready to grab Jim "I'm comin' Jimbo! Reach for me now!" He says stretching his arm out all the way, "Reach!" The two reach for each other but its not enough, he needs more stretch
"I- I can't!" Yells Jim as soon as the words leave his mouth the ledge he was hanging on to disappears into the wall, he slides down another 4 feet before grabbing on to another ledge, Silver looks at the boy, and then at the treasure on the boat behind him.
