The Boy From the Castle in the Sky (Septiplier)

Chapter 4

"Check around back." The white-suited pirate commanded the one in the purple suit.

"Right." The pirate in the purple suit ran down and around towards the back.

Whistling casually, the pirate made his way towards the door. Just as he was about to reach it it swung open. Lifting a brick with a rope from a small pile, which fell and pulled the door closed.

"Good morning, goodbye!" Mark called as he and a disguised Jack ran out the door, sufficiently startling the once composed pirate.

"H-hey, hold on wait up, wait up, wait up, wait up, wait up!" The pirate shouted, running after them.

"Uh, yes. How can I help you mister?" Mark stopped on the brick steps and asked with a fake smile, shielding Jack as he hid behind Mark with his head angled down to hide his eyes.

"U-uh young man, query... have you seen a little boy around here?" The pirate asked, spreading his arms in a questioning manner.

"Uh, let me see now... yeah! There are about a hundred little boys in this town, which one?" Mark zipped through the sentence, hoping to drive the pirate off track. The pirate only scowled.

"Mmm, thanks. For nothing kid!" The pirate sneered.

"Bye!" Mark called with with a wave, then he ran down the steps and followed Jack as they raced down the dirt road towards town.

"They are definitely after you, Jack." Mark spoke breathily as they ran.

The pirate in the purple suit came out from the back entrance with Jack's indigo dress.

"'Ey Louie! Go tell your mother, he's in disguise!" He held up the dress as proof.

"So, he's in disguise. Go tell my mother." Louie replied, running off. The purple-suited pirate lowered the dress with a groan, but reluctantly left to report to Dola.

In town, two other pirates in white suits are seen talking to Mark's boss. Whom was standing in front of his home with a very young girl in a pink dress standing behind him.

"He's got green hair, and a purple dress." The large bearded pirate explained.

"Haven't seen 'em." Mark's boss replied in a bored tone, as they have probably been conversing for a lengthy period of time.

"That's what you keep saying, but I want to think really hard about it." The bearded pirate was all up in the boss's face at this point.

"Boss!" Mark's voice echoed from a long distance, and all three heads turned in his direction. "Boss!" Mark and Jack came running down the dirt path.

"He'd be about the age of, those two." The bearded pirate suggested.

However, just as Jack passed a young girl, he tripped over a rock and his hat came flying off. Revealing his sky blue eyes and bright green hair.

"Oh! Oh no!" Jack shouted as he felt back to where the hat once was. The pirates and many others started and grunted in surprise, many eyes wide with confusion. Jack ran back to grab the hat, looking up fearfully at the sound of a pirate's voice in front of him. He shoved the flat cap back on his head, green tufts sticking out of it haphazardly, and ran the opposite direction in which he had been running previously, Mark close by his side.

"There he is! Don't let him get away!" Mothers rushed their children inside and various people watched in vague interest as Louie shouted and sprinted down the dirt road.

"Yeah, now!" The bearded pirate and his freckled companion ran at the fleeing duo and lunged, only to land flat on their faces in the dirt as Mark and Jack slid under them. With Mark on his stomach and Jack on his back, they came to a stop in front of Mark's boss. Mark scrambled to his feet, and Jack got up as well, Mark helping him halfway.
