Halle stepped onto the the deck just in time to hear Ben say, "You're a leader Uma. And so am I."
The curly-haired beauty laughed so hard that she nearly fell over and Uma just snickered. "It's funny how you think I'm the one in charge of all this."...
Halle growled as she climbed out of the crow's nest. She wasn't mad about Mal and the others getting away. She was mad about Jay sneaking up on her and knocking her out. But once she put her feet on the deck, she started laughing. She then turned to Uma. "I can't believe they fell for it." Uma smirked and nodded in agreement as she sheathed her sword. It had all been an act. Halle then looked at Harry. "What was it like fighting 'Ben'."
"I expected them to be more of a challenge." He smiled. "Are you alright, love?"
"I will be. But we now face a bigger problem. As much as I want them to keep thinking they have Ben, we all know Pain and Panic can't hold a character for long. And the wand will only be out for the cotillion tonight. So, we need to find another source of power." And with that, Halle used her power to loft the bridge back up and connect the dock to the pipe. "Search everywhere. I need as much power as I can get." And the crew went off to find anything they could.
Halle went below deck to the brig. In the farthest cell was Ben, bound and gagged.
(Earlier before Mal showed up) "Do it." She said. Suddenly, two little imps came up from behind Ben and stood next to Halle. One was scrawny and blue with long horns and a long nose while the other was purple and fat.

The scrawny one jumped on top of the fat one and they transformed into Ben.
"Cool, huh?" Halle asked. "My dad might not ever win 'father of the year', but he at least gave me two useful idiots." She then turned to a few other pirates. "Tie him up, gag him, and throw him in the brig. He is, after all, our special guest."
The demigoddess smirked as she opened the cell door and walked in. "You'll be proud to know that your girlfriend put up a good fight. But I know if we don't go there, she'll crawl back here to get you." She knelt in front of him and couldn't help but stroke his face, causing Ben to flinch away. Halle chuckled darkly. "Don't be so discouraged, Ben. After all, it is your wedding day. And you should really be dressed in something much nicer than this lousy getup." She then waved her hand in front of him and he instantly was changed into a new outfit.
