We came into a view of a small island I took my hat off throwing it into my hole so I could see better

"um" said Reed as he leaned over the railing slightly "does any one know where we are?"

every one stopped work and looked to me expectantly I knew they were watching me but pretended I didn't notice

"nope" I said "I have no idea I lost our position when we crossed the Dark sea" Neons head popped up

"I doubt that" he said

Lucario head popped up I let a long amount of time pass before I answered

"I know where we are" I said rolling my eyes Neon smiled

"the navigator always does" there was a short silence and when I didn't say anything Neon began talking again

"okay" said Neon "tell us where we are"

he looked back to the island and looked at it for a second then flicked his head back to me

"that place where we were all got captured" we said at the same time

"are you sure?" said Neon

"don't doubt me it never got you anywhere and of course I'm sure it just all looks different around the other side"

"If you say so" said Neon

as the ship came closer to the island and I guess you could call it dock at the ramp was then pulled down I walked down it calmly trying to hide my excitement then the ground shook and I staggered left

'well' I thought 'that can't be right' Neon ran down the ramp after me

"hah sea wobbles" he said with a smile I looked back at him with narrow eyes

"I don't get 'sea wobbles'" I growled getting to my feet I progressed forwards the rest of the crew except Neon stayed on the ship

we walked a fair way from the ship where we came to a cliff side

"cool" I said as I looked over the edge

"Angerl, be careful" I heard Neon yell as I stepped closer to the edge

"I am being care........"

I was cut off by another tremor as the ground shook and then crumbled underneath me and I fell and fell and fell until my back made contact with the ground I lifted my head and saw a figure approaching then I blacked out.

888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888

I sat up drenched in water my eyes were fuzzy but I could see the figure

"who are you?" I moaned head still spinning

"surprised you forgot me over that short period of time" said the voice

my eyes opened wide as the figure came out of the shadows I sat up as he kneeled in front of me

"Rikard" I said my voice cracking

as he opened his arms and pulled me closer I let him hold me I felt tears in my eyes but blinked them away he pulled back holding me at arms length he smiled pulling me closer he kissed the bridge of my nose the crook of my neck and then my lips his beard felt so weird against my mouth he pulled away with a smile

"how long have you been down here?" I asked after a few seconds he shrugged and let me go

"why do you ask?"

"We all thought you were dead"

"even you?" he questioned I nodded then paused I stood up and he followed

"wait a minute how far did I fall?"

Rikard smiled opened his mouth then closed it again

"I think it would be better to show you yes?"

I nodded

he took me back to the wall I fell down I looked it down and up

wow I said that's not as high as I thought" Rikard nodded

"though i'm still surprised nothings broken" he said patting my head

I let the silence drag but I said kicking off my shoes and shoving them in my belt

"I can scale it" I stated calmly

"that's madness" shirked Rikard no one could scale that I smiled

"no one is not me"

I took off fast then jumped grabbing at the ledge and hoisting my self up I looked down I was ten feet off the ground I looked to Rikard

"what was that about too high" I yelled down to him he smiled

"bet you can't make the next one" he yelled I looked up it was lower but now I had no run up but I could make it

"bet I could"

"I doubt it" he yelled

"don't" I yelled back

I felt my blood pulse faster then as nimble as a cat I jumped but then it crumbled underneath me sending me falling to the ground again but, I did not hit my head instead Rikard caught me I sighed with relief

"wow" he said "now your falling into my arms"

I slapped him around the head and he placed me down I looked back to see a pine tree I sat down putting my shoes on

"what are you going to do now?" he said

"you will see" I told him

I began to run building up speed until I hit the tree and I shot up it then when I run out of tree I stopped and back flipped hitting the ledge lightly I looked back to Rikard around thirty feet from the ground

"when did you find you had that skill?" he yelled

"every one has skills" I yelled down to him "and mine is to be as nimble as a cat" the ledge started to crumble

"yeah" he yelled up "and as heavy as an elephant" I stuck my tongue out at him

"jealous"

"remember what I said I would do with that tongue of yours?" he growled

"oh that brings back memoires" I teased

Rikard smiled and rolled his eyes as I jumped and grabbed the ledge above my head hoisting myself up onto the next one then there were no more ledges because I was up and over the edge were I saw the ship

"Angel" he said "your at the top"

"I noticed that" I said then looking back at the ship yelled "I will be back"

then without another word ran. I told the crew almost every thing ( te he ) and they nodded and started talking to each other and came up with an idea and I heard them out and nodded them on I just hoped it would work

the crew brought out the rope from the hull and I would just watch to make sure the ledge did not crumble Lucario tried to help but I pulled him back

"I think we should let the men do this no offence" I said

"none taken captain" he replied
