"beware, beware, be skeptical
of their smiles, their smiles of plated gold"
- Wolf in Sheep's Clothing by; Set It Off

The group made their way through the docks and Conie made sure to stick close to Carlos.

"Hey, guys," The boy with the stupid aura from earlier yelled. "They're here!"

Harry grinned and stretched out his arms, "Welcome!"

"Finally," A girl with braids laughed. Conie assumed this was Uma.

Uma
Let's get this party started
I swear I'm cold hearted
There's no negotiation
I'm not here for debatin'
You need some motivation?
Just look at Ben's face, then ask yourself
How long you think I'll remain patient
I'll throw him overboard
And let him swim with killer sharks
You either hand over the wand, or he'll be ripped apart

Mal
Now let's all just be smart
Although for you, that must be hard
You'll get your want
No one has to come to any harm
Don't try to intimidate
Your bark is much worse than your bite
Who's the baddest of them all?
I guess we're finding out tonight

Pirates
Let's go, bring it on
Better give us what we want
It's the wand for the crown
If you don't, it's going down

VKs, Conie, and Lonnie
Let's go, make your move
Peace or war, it's up to you
Give him up and do it now
If you don't, it's going down

Pirates
We want the wand, or else the king is gone
Your time is running out
You should really watch your mouth

VKs, Conie, and Lonnie
Let's go, pound for pound
We're prepared to stand our ground

Pirates
Put your swords up
Put 'em up, it's going down
Yo-oh, ho-oh, oh-oh
Make the trade!
Yo-oh, ho-oh, oh-oh
Or walk the plank!
Yo-oh, ho-oh, oh-oh
Make the trade!
Yo-oh, ho-oh, oh-oh
Or walk the plank!

Mal
Okay, look, this is not a conversation
It's a do-or-die situation
If you don't give me back the king
I'll have no hesitation
I'll serve you right here
And I don't need a reservation
That way your whole "pirate crew"
Can have a demonstration
Release him now
And we can go our separate ways
Unless you want to deal with me and the VKs

Uma
So that's your big speech, huh?
An empty ultimatum?

Harry
All it takes is one swing, and I'll humiliate him!Matter of fact, make one wrong move
And I'll debilitate him
And if he even starts to slip, I'll eliminate him
All it takes is one wrong look and I'll--

Uma
Harry, we get it. Chill.

Pirates
Let's go, bring it on
Better give us what we want
It's the wand for the crown
If you don't, it's going down

Everyone
Let's go, make your move
Peace or war, it's up to you
Give him up and do it now
If you don't, it's going down
We want the wand, or else the king is gone
Your time is running out
You should really watch your mouth
Let's go pound for pound
We're prepared to stand our ground
Put your swords up
Put 'em up, it's going down

Ben
Hey, we don't have to choose
We don't have to light the fuse
Mal, whatever you do, it's gonna be a lose-lose
There's got to be a better way
Uma, I promise I'll give you your chance
You'll have your say
