Jim, Annie, Gonzo and Rizzo peered over the edge of the ship as they watched the pirates flee.

"Look. It's the Captain and the pig." Gonzo pointed out, making Annie and Rizzo gasp.

"Oh, no!" Jim grabbed his telescope, spotting Captain Smollett and Benjamina hanging from a tree on a cliff.

"Head for those cliffs." Jim ordered.

"Head for the cliffs, Squire." Mr. Arrow repeated.

"Aye, aye! Oh!" Trelawney answered, turning the ship's wheel.

"Oh, Beakie, Beakie. Look, look! I think we're going to need a net. Come along." Livesey told his assistant.

"We're lowering the net now." Livesey called out after they had set everything up. Mr. Arrow and Beaker lowered the net so Jim and Annie could grab it.

"All right, let's go. Okay. That's it. Beautiful. Beautiful." Gonzo praised.

"We're coming, Captain Smollett!" Jim shouted as the ship sailed closer to the cliffs. "Steady! Steady!"

The rope that was holding Captain Smollett and Benjamina finally snapped and the crew cheered as they hoped to see the pair heading straight for the net only for them to miss. They gasped looking over the edge, hoping that their Captain and his ex weren't hurt, only to see that the figureheads had managed to catch them.

"Waldorf, you old fool! We're heroes! We saved the pig and the frog." Statler cheered.

"Well, it was too late to save the movie." Waldorf quipped as the two laughed.

"Welcome aboard, Captain Smollett." Jim greeted.

"And welcome to your lady pig friend."

"LOOK OUT!" Gonzo and Rizzo screamed. The crew looked up and saw they were sailing straight into the island where the pirates had been waiting with the treasure. The ship crashed throwing the crew back and sending Benjamina and Captain Smollett onto the island.

"The Captain must have his sword." Mr. Arrow informed the crew. He grabbed onto a rope, with the Captain's sword in his mouth, and swung himself on to the island's beach. The remaining crew watched amazed, before they did the same, starting with Jim and Annie. 

"Captain!" Mr. Arrow yelled, while Jim and Annie began to clash swords with the pirates.

"Fight, you idiots!" Long John yelled.

After headbutting a pirate out of the way, Mr. Arrow threw the Captain his sword, allowing him to join the fight, only for Benjamina to punch the pirate next to Smollett.

"All right! No more Ms. Nice Guy! No one maroons me and gets away with it!" Benjamina shouted as she started to fight any pirates that came her away.

"Good to see you alive, Mr. Arrow." Captain Smollett told his friend, as they fought the pirates back to back.

"Thank you, Captain."

"Come on!" Calico Jerry and Clueless Morgan taunted at Annie and Jim. Jim clashed swords with Clueless while Annie blocked Calico Jerry from hitting Jim.

"En garde!" Jacques Roach challenged Gonzo.

"Ah! Mi casa es su casa."

"Ah, I make cheese out of you. Come on!" Gonzo started yelling at Jacques as he held up two starfish. He threw them at Jacques, pinning him to the ship. "Cucaracha. Ha."

Jim and Annie spun around each, swapping so that Annie was now fighting off Clueless and Jim was fighting Jerry.

"Come on, Jerry! They're just kids!" Long John argued, watching concerned. Jim managed to knock Jerry onto the ground and Clueless Morgan, who now had Annie and Jim pointing their swords at him, began to give in.

"Okay. Okay, I give... Uncle. Uh, I'm dead." He resolved, before closing his eyes and falling to the floor. Annie and Jim rolled their eyes, before they joined Gonzo in fighting off some other pirates. The fight continued with Livesey and his assistant using a canon, Sweetums knocking multiple pirates out with a branch and Mr. Arrow taking Polly out with a single punch. Benjamina had just knocked another pirate out when she turned her attention to Long John.

"And as for you!" Long John simply pulled out his pistol, causing Benjamina to whimper in fear.

"Silver!" Smollett cried out, brandishing his sword. He hopped and cartwheeled his way to Long John, knocking his pistol out of his hands. "Why don't you pick on somebody your own size, huh?"

Long John laughed as he pulled out his own sword and the two Captains began their fight. Smollett had managed to cut most of Long John clothes and was swinging his sword in victory until he accidentally let go, sending his sword just above Jacques head.

"Uh... uh... I'm a frog. You know, slippery hands." Long John chuckled evilly, holding his sword to Smollett's throat. "You know, I never really believed that violence solved anything anyway."

"Really? Allow me to disagree, Cap'n." At that moment, Jim rushed to Smollett's side, pointing his sword at Long John.

"Kill Captain Smollett, and you'll have to kill me."

"Kill Jim, and you'll have to kill me." Gonzo added, joining Jim's side.

"Kill Gonzo, and you'll have to kill me." Trelawney said as the rest of the crew joined as well.

"Kill Squire Trelawney and Mr. Bimbo, and you'll have to... Negotiate strenuously."

Long John went to turn to his right only to have it blocked by Benjamina and her tribe. "Going somewhere, John-John?"

He tried to turn to his left, but was stopped by Annie, who was frowning at her former friend with tears in her eyes, pointing his sword at him. Long John turned away from Annie, trying not to stare at the heartbroken girl who he had began to view as a daughter, and faced Jim, the boy who he had began to view as a son.

"Well, Mr. Hawkins, it seems your little family has come together against me." Long John held his sword out to Jim, surrendering. The crew smiled, finally winning the fight.
