"Captains! Captains!" First Mate Soos shouted as he rushed into the cabin

Captain Dipper sat up in his bed, as did his sister in her bed on the other side of the room, Captain Mabel. "What is it Soos?" He asked as he tried to rub the sleep from his eyes

"The lookout spotted The Demon Ship approaching from the east!"

"The same ship that took Great Uncle Ford?!" Mabel exclaimed as she looked to her brother

"Soos, go wake the rest of the crew and ready all canons, we're gonna sink that ship." Dipper said as he got out of bed. Soos nodded and rushed to get the crew

"You wore your clothes to bed?" Mabel questioned gesturing to Dipper's white button up and black pants as her brother pulled on his boots and blue trimmed coat

"I'm a pirate captain, I don't have time for a change of clothes."

Mabel sighed as she got out of her bed, the long white nightgown almost hitting the floor. "I'll get changed."

"I'll meet you on the deck." Dipper replied, as he grabbed his hat from the nightstand and rushed out to the deck

-----

"Ah, the Pines Ship, Pinetree and Shooting Star are the captains, aren't they Sixer?" The Demon Captain asked his prisoner "Soon, I won't even need you."

"Leave my family alone. You've got what you wanted Cipher!" Ford exclaimed, his hands chained behind his back

"Hmm not quite Sixer. That Great Nephew of yours seems to have smarts just like you."

"Captain Cipher, The Pines Crew is gathering on the deck of their ship, and preparing to attack, what are your commands?" One of Cipher's crew members asked, kneeling to the Demon

"Gather my crew, bring them all on deck..." Cipher smirked, "And have two or three of the freaks prepare to throw Sixer overboard at my signal."

"What!?" Ford shouted

Cipher turned back to Ford, smirking as the crew member ran off. "Of course, I can't have both of the world's brightest minds on my ship at once, no no no, if I did you would work together and escape." He laughed maniacally "Say your prayers Sixer, it'll be the end for you."

-----

"Load the canons." Dipper ordered as he arrived on deck. "And make sure they don't board the ship."

"Aye aye Captain Dipper." The crew exclaimed in unison

"Captain Dipper, The Cipher has disappeared sir!" The lookout called from the crow'snest just before a cannon fire filled the air

The lookout fell from the crow'snest, dead. "Well, well, well." A voice said from behind Dipper "I didn't expect a welcoming committee Pinetree." Dipper whipped around, his Cutlass drawn. "Now now Pinetree, remember, I was Sixer's friend."

"Where is he you son of a-" Bill knocked the cutlas out of Dipper's hand and grabbed his throat as Mabel come up onto the deck

"Don't finish that sentence. I didn't insult your mother Pinetree."

"Dipper!" Mabel exclaimed as she drew her own cutlass

"Ah ah ah Shooting Star. I wouldn't do that." Cipher smirked as Dipper struggled. He looked over at his ship as two of the crew members dragged Ford towards the side of the ship. "I have someone, you care about, two people you care about."

"No! Let them go!"

"Toss Sixer overboard." Bill ran back to his ship, taking Dipper with him "I have what I need.

"Great Uncle Ford!!" Mabel yelled as Ford was pushed over the side of The Cipher and into the sea. "Dipper!" She shouted as the Cipher moved away from The Pines. "No..." She looked to her crew. "Don't just stand there!" She shouted "Get My Great Uncle out of the ocean!!!"

Dipper sat in a small cage in Bill's study "What do you want with me Cipher?" He asked as Bill walked into the room holding a dagger in his hand

"Same reason I needed Sixer. Sadly, his imagination ran dry." Chipher replied before a dark grin appeared on his face. Bill reached through the bars of the cage with the knife in his hand "And his screams got boring." He held the dagger close to Dipper's face

Dipper moved away from the tip of the blade."Why do you need me though." He asked the psychotic pirate "Who says I have any imagination, and if I do, who says I'll tell you anything?"

Bill smirked and pressed the sharp edge of the knife against Dipper's face, drawing blood. "I do. And if you don't want to, I have ways of making you talk."
