Defendants B1:Black and White Decent

Chapter 28

The group came into view of Uma's ship.  "Woe..."  Ruby whispered.

"Finally!"  Uma smiled.

U:Huh, 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 stepped forward, determination on her face as she glanced at Harry, who had Ben trapped on the plank.

M:Now, let's all just be smart
Although for you that must be hard
You'll get your wand
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

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

Mal pounded her fists as her group gave her support.

All:Let's go, pound for pound
We're prepared to stand our ground
Put your swords up, put 'em up
It's going down

PiratesOh, oh, oh, make the trade
Oh, oh, oh, or walk the plank
Oh, oh, oh, make the trade
Oh, oh, oh, or walk the plank

Taking in a deep breath, Mal turned to Uma, her patience running thin.

M:Ok, 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 wanna deal with me and the VKs

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

Harry walked up, gesturing widely with his hands (and hook) as he spoke.

H: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 long look and I'll

U:Harry! We get it, chill

Prirates: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

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

All:Let's go, pound for pound
We're prepared to stand our ground
Put your swords up, put 'em up
It's going down

"Hey!" Ben shouted, gaining everyone's attention.

B: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 gotta be a better way
Uma, I promise I'll give you your chance
You'll have your say

Uma laughed.

U:Silly king! You? Give me?
You're gonna give me a chance?
Well, not a chance

Pirates:Oh, oh, oh, make the trade
Oh, oh, oh, or walk the plank
Oh, oh, oh, make the trade
Oh, oh, oh, or walk the plank

Let's go, bring it on
Bring it on, it's going down
Time is running out
Bring it on, it's going down
Let's go, bring it on
Bring it on, it's going down
Time is running out
Bring it on, it's going down

Let's go, pound for pound
We're prepared to stand our ground
Put your swords up, put 'em up
It's going down!

Uma smiled at Mal as they stood face to face on the bridge.  Mal returned it with a scowl.

Note: Sorry that this chapter didn't have anything but the song in it, but that means there will be action in this next chapter.
