[The trio heads back to B.E.N.'s house to regroup with the others.]

JIM: Doc! Doc, wake up! l got the map.

SILVER: [Coming out of the shadows and grabbing the map.] Fine work, Jimbo. Fine work indeed.

[There's muffled yelling as we see Amelia and Delbert tied up off to the side.]

GRIMM:(aims his pistol at jim dressed into his pirate clothes and captain hat)Thanks for showing us the way, my boy.

JIM: Aah! [Two of the pirates restrain him.]

MORPH: [He tries to fight back and bites Meltdown but then retreats whimpering into Jim's pocket.]

BIRD BRAIN MARY: What's this sorry stack of metal?!

B.E.N.: Not the face! [Mary holds B.E.N. at knifepoint.]

SILVER: [Snidely] You're just like me, Jimbo. Ya hates to lose. [He chuckles, then tries to open the map.] What the devil's the...[He is unable to unlock it, even with the help of his mechanical arm.]

[Jim smirks and shakes his head at Silver trying his best to pry it open.]

SILVER: Open it. [Silver gives it to Jim who glares back.] l'd get busy.

[Silver takes out his pistol. Delbert shakes his head 'yes' while Amelia shakes her head 'no.' Silver cocks his pistol and glances at Jim, and Grimm looks at him Almost begging him to open it then jim unlocks the sphere to reveal the map.]

SILVER: Oh, the powers that be. Would you look?

[The map makes a trail the points the way toward the treasure.]

SILVER: Ha ha ha ha! Tie him up and leave him with the others till we--what? [Jim locks up the sphere.]

JIM: You want the map, you're taking me, too.

GRIMM:I like this kid

SILVER: [Groans] Hmm. [Chuckles] We'll take 'em all.

[Cut to the next morning when the pirates, Jim, Silver, Grimm,Delbert, Amelia, and B.E.N. are all in a longboat following the trail to the treasure. When they get close, they all get out except Meltdown who stays behind to guard Delbert and Amelia.]

MORPH: [Chattering inside Jim's pocket.]

JIM: It's OK, Morph. It's OK.

B.E.N.: Jimmy, l--l don't know about you, but I'm starting to see my life pass in front of my eyes. At least, I think it's my life. Was I ever dancing with an android named Lupe?!

JIM: B.E.N., shh. This isn't over yet.

SILVER: We're gettin' close. lads! I smell treasure a-waitin'! [Laughs]

[The group cuts through a thicket and finds themself on an empty cliff. The map also closes and refuses to open.]

PIRATES: Huh?

SILVER: Where is it?

ONUS: l see nothing! One great, big stinking hunk of nothing!

SILVER: What's going on, Jimbo?

JIM: l don't know. l can't get it open.

GRIMM:what do you mean you CAN'T

BIRD BRAIN MARY: We should've never followed this boy! [She kicks Jim and knocks him over.]

JIM: Hey!

SILVER: I'd suggest you get that gizmo going again, and fast!

GRIMM:before the rip you apart

PIRATE: Let's rip his gizzard right out right now!

ONUS: Throw him off the cliff!

GRIMM:see [points at the Murderous crew]

[Suddenly, Jim notices a hole in the ground that seems to be the perfect shape for the map. He puts the sphere inside, causing the ground to rumble as the planet comes to life. The map shows a hologram of many galaxies, and a giant portal opens up in front of them.]

SILVER: Oh, have mercy.

JIM: The Lagoon Nebula?

GRIMM: But that's halfway across the galaxy.

JIM: A big door, opening and closing. [He starts pressing locations on the hologram, and they appear on the other side of the portal.] Let's see. Kinapis. Montressor spaceport. So that's how Flint did it. He used this portal to roam the universe stealing treasure.

SILVER: But where'd he stash it all? Where's that blasted treasure?! [He starts pressing random locations.]

B.E.N.: Treasure! Treasure! It's buried in the--

JIM: Buried in the centroid of the mechanism. What if the whole planet is the mechanism, and the treasure is buried in the center of this planet?

[The crew starts shouting a scrambling to dig into the planet.]

SILVER: And how in blue blazes are we supposed to get there?!

JIM: Just open the right door.

[Jim presses Treasure Planet on the hologram map, and the portal shows the center of the planet filled to the brim with treasure. Jim, Silver Grimm and the rest pass through the portal, but they fail to recognize when they trip the alarm at the entrance.]

BIRD BRAIN MARY: Wait for me! Wait for me!

[The crew gasps and cheers as they see the treasure.]

SILVER: The loot of a thousand worlds.

ONUS: We are going to need a bigger boat! [Laughing]

GRIMM:I'm home father
