Jim and (Y/N) swiftly made their way into the Captain's quarters. Once settled, they rush to Amelia's side and quickly explain the situation. The Captain feels her eye twitch in annoyance. "Pirates?" She hisses. "On my ship?! I'll see they all HANG!" She yells, grabbing a gun from her cabinet.

She tosses the gun to Delbert, who fumbles to catch it. "Doctor." She starts, turning to face him. "Familiar with these?" She raises a brow at the dog. "Oh..I've seen.." Delbert stammers, avoiding eye contact with the feline. "Well I've read-" he's cut off by the gun firing. The beam shooting a glass orb right next to Amelia.

Her eyes widen and her ear twitches. She averts her attention to the now destroyed orb, it's pieces scattered across the floor. Delbert looks down sheepishly, "Uh..no..no I have not.." he admits, guilt eating away at him as he watches the Captains ears droop sadly.

Amelia shakes it off, pulling a key out of her pocket and walking over to a chest. She unlocks  it and grabs the map, the Captain turns towards Delbert and rolls her eyes at him, causing the dog to flinch. While Amelia kept her attention elsewhere, Morph perks up at the shiny object, floating closer to it, he examines it and smiles.

They all turn with a gasp when the sound of metal melting is heard, they turn towards the door as a orange glow begins to slowly form around the lock. "Mr Hawkins!" Amelia says, turning towards Jim. "Defend this with your life!" Jim nods at the order, prepared to catch the map, but a certain pink creature had other ideas.

"Morph!" (Y/N) yells, running and trying to catch the pink blob. "Give me that!" She's able to grab the map and yank it out of Morphs mouth, she pulls back and stumbles, but feels herself get stabled by Jim. She looks to her best friend and nods in thanks before turning to the Captain.

...

Silver stands impatiently, his foot tapping in annoyance. He watches as his crew aim a gun at the door, the lock slowly melting away. He grits his teeth, finally stepping forward. "Your takin all day about it!" He yells, shoving the crew aside. He raises his gun, preparing to fire.

...

Amelia rushes to pull out her gun, she aims it to the floor and fires, falling through the hole, Delbert following after. "You first!" Jim says to (Y/N), grabbing her arms and pulling her towards the hole. "Not the time to be a gentleman!" (Y/N) yells as she hears the cocking of a gun. She grabs Jim by his collar and pushes him down the hole, immediately jumping after.

The group all run through the dark halls of the ship, they make it half way before they hear a blast, followed by Silvers voice, "Stop them!" They all turn a corner, trying to keep up with the Captain. Delbert trips slightly but catches himself, falling behind.  They make it to a staircase, running down through a metal door.

Amelia quickly grabs Delbert, hurling him into the room, she waits for Jim and (Y/N) to make their way inside before shutting the door, locking it tight. "To the longboats! Quickly now!" She orders, pulling a lever and opening the hatch on the floor. Delbert quickly does so without question, (Y/N) following after. She turns around and grabs Jim's hand, about to help him into the boat.

Amelia makes her way into the boat, taking out her gun she redirects it towards the door, her ears twitching for any sound beyond the metal barricade. Nobody notices Morph flying out from behind Jim, the pink blob dives down and snatches the orb, flying away with a giggle. "Morph get back here!" (Y/N) desperately yells, jumping out the boat and chasing the creature.

"Both of you get back here!" Jim yells, scrambling out the boat and running after
(Y/N), tripping over his feet slightly. "You have got to be kidding me!"

...

The door blasts open, smoke quickly filling the room. Amelia aims her gun, blinking profusely to clear her eyesight. The pirates fire their guns aimlessly, yelling and scampering around. "Chew on this you pus-filled boils!" Amelia yells, aiming and firing. Delbert looks up and raises his gun, his hands shaking. He closes his eyes and fires, the blast hitting the floorboard a few of the pirates were standing on.

The board chips away and breaks, the pirates fall, their screams echoing as the plummet to their deaths. Amelia turns towards Delbert, a hint of admiration in her eyes. "Did you actually aim for that?" She asks, her tone impressed. "You know, I actually did!" Delbert smiles, impressed with himself.

Silver makes his way to the lever and pulls it down, the hatch closing and boat stopping midway. Amelia looks up and snarls. "Oh blast it all!" She turns towards Delbert. "Doctor, when I say 'now', shoot that forward cable." She gestures to the two cables holding the wires if the boat. "And I'll take this one." She says, Delbert nodding along with determined eyes.

Silver slowly makes his way around the room, his gun ready to fire. He jumps when he hears a voice calling. "Morph! Here Morph!" He turns around and sees Jim and (Y/N), both trying to reach for the pink blob. Silver smirks when he sees the map in Morphs mouth. "Morph!" He calls quickly, both teens stare wide eyed when they finally notice the cyborg.

"Morph! Here boy!" (Y/N) calls, her voice gentle. Morph quickly turns to her, his body wagging as he starts floating to her. Silver grits his teeth in annoyance, he whistles a tune which catches Morphs attention. "Morph, come here!" He coaxes, Morph pauses and begins floating towards Silver. "Morph come here!" Jim tries, waving his arms around. Morph smiles and begins to float towards the boy.

"Come here Morph!" Silver calls again, his frustration growing, "Bring it to yer dad!" Morph stops his floating altogether, looking between the three in confusion. They all begin to call for Morph, the little alien growing stressed. He shakes his head, quickly diving down into a bundle of rope. Silver quickly takes a step forward but collapses, his prosthetic leg tearing slightly.

He reaches for the rope, but halts when a hand shoots infront of his face. (Y/N) quickly grabs hold of the map. She looks at it and nods, beginning to move but stops, she looks down at the struggling cyborg who in turn looks up at her and raises a brow, wondering why she was still here.

"..liar."

Silvers eyes widen all the way as he stares up at her. "Cima.." he calls out, his hand outstretched. (Y/N) shakes her head and walks away, making her way to Jim's side. Silver shakes his head harshly and raises his gun, aiming it at Jim's head. He falters, dropping his gun with defeated sigh. Both teens rush towards the boat and jump in. Amelia immediately turns towards Delbert and yells. "NOW!"

Both Delbert and the Captain fire without a second thought, firing at the cables the boat jolts, sending Jim over the side. They begin to descend at a fast rate, Jim still desperately clinging onto the edge. "Jim!" (Y/N) yells frantically, reaching over the edge and yanking him up. Her fingers dig into his arm, leaving small red dots on his skin.

Jim winces slightly but ignores it, falling forwards into the boat next to (Y/N). He breaths deeply and sits up, nodding at his friend in gratitude. Amelia ignores the two and reaches forward, opening the mast, causing the boat to jolt, everyone grunting at the impact. "Parameters met! Hydraulics engaged!" She states quickly, grabbing the steering of the boat and racing forward.

...

Silver, now at the deck of the ship, watches with wide eyes as one of his crew aim a blaster at the small boat. "Come to papa!" The alien laughs, getting the blaster ready. The cyborg looks down, conflicted. He raises his head, eyes glaring. "Hold yer fire!" He yells, walking over. "We'll loose the map!" He shoves the gunman away, grabbing the edge and tries to move it, but it was to heavy.

The cyborg is pushed back by the gun firing, a big ball of fire shoots out and races towards the boat. He watches with wide eyes as it hits the ship on its side, the boat gets knocked of course and falls at a high speed towers the planet.

...

"Captain!" Delbert yells, gaining everyone's attention. "Laser ball at 12 o'clock!" Amelia turns around and glares at the incoming danger. She grabs the bar of the ship and pulls up. The boat manages to move out of the way, but the back of the bait catches fire, knocking the feline off her feet. Amelia doubles over in pain, clutching her stomach with one hand and her shoulder with the other.

The boat begins to plummet even faster towards the planet, the mast catches on fire, getting torn off as the bottom of the boat hits the top of a tree. Jim hits the side of the boat and groans, cradling his arm he wraps the other around (Y/N), pulling her to his chest and cupping the back of her head with his hand.

Amelia tries to steer the ship, but fails as it crashes into a tree, going directly through it. The boat hits the ground with a bang, tilting to its side and flipping over it hits the ground, dragging halfway before coming to a halt. The group all groan as (Y/N) and Delbert flip the boat over.

"Ow.." Jim groans, rubbing his neck as he stands. (Y/N) walks up behind him and gently sets her hand behind his neck, rubbing softly. Jim sighs at the feeling, looking down at her he smiles, he turns his attention to his arm, raising a brow at the small red dots, he turns towards (Y/N). "Nearly took off my arm you weirdo.." he says with a smirk, gesturing to his arm.

(Y/N) looks up at him and glares. "Would you rather I'd have let you fall off the bloody boat?"  Jim shakes his head with a nervous chuckle. "What I meant to say was.." he starts, wrapping her in a hug. "..thank you." (Y/N) smiles softly, wrapping her arms around him gently and sighing. "Darn right."

Their attention is pulled by Amelia, she stands up weakly and chuckles. "That was not one of my.." she bites back a groan, "..gossamer landings." She jokes before releasing a pained gasp. She grabs her side as she falls to the floor, Delbert at her side. "Captain!" He yells, kneeling down and placing a hand on her back.

(Y/N) and Jim rush over and help her stand, Jim on her right and (Y/N) on her left. Amelia gently pushes their hands away with a firm shake if her head. "Oh don't fuss." She says, swaying a bit before she starts to fall backwards. Delbert quickly catches her but gets pushed off. "Slight bruising.." she says gently, still clutching her side. "..that's all."

She straightens her coat before adjusting her hat. "Cup of tea and I'll be tight as rain." She says jokingly. Amelia turns her attention towards Delbert. "Mr Hawkins." She says, causing Delbert to look at her, his eyes squinted in confusion. The feline shakes her head before facing the actual Jim. "Mr Hawkins." She says again, "The map if you please." She asks gently, her hand outstretched.

Jim nods before quickly shoving his hands into his pocket, taking the orb out and preparing to give it to the captain. But before he could hand it to her...the map begins to float out of his hand and into the air. Jim and (Y/N) stare wide eyed as the map begins to shift into a certain pink blob. "Morph?!" (Y/N) yells, raising her hands and cupping them around the small creature.

"Morph where's the map?!" Jim asks frantically, turning around and glaring at said creature. Morph giggles as he splits into two parts, he shifts into a pile of rope and the map. The map jumps into the pile of rope, causing both teens to look at each-other in disbelief. "It's back in the ship??!" Jim yells, pointing towards the R.L.S Legacy.

Jim reaches for Morph but halts when Amelia speaks. "Stifle that blob and get low!" She hisses, ducking behind the boat. "We've got company!" She grabs her gun, slowly peeking over the edge of the ship as the others join her. "We need a more defensible position, Mr Hawkins, Ms (L/N)." She starts, turning towards the two teenagers. "I'm trusting you two to scout ahead."

"Aye Captain." Jim says, (Y/N) giving her a firm nod. Amelia turns to stand again, but stumbles, Delbert rushes to her side, gently grabbing her arms. "Steady now.." he coos as she gasps in pain, "Now let's have a look at that." He gently says, lowering her to the ground. He looks to the two teenagers and nods, silently telling them that it was alright.

(Y/N) nods back and turns to Jim, she tilts her head to the side and he nods. They begin to walk down a path, the leaves crunching under their feet. Morph flies after them and joins their side, his small chittering being all the only noise that surrounds them. Jim turns to look back at Delbert and Amelia, smirking slightly when he notices them both looking at eachother, gentle smiles on their faces.

He turns his attention back to (Y/N), nudging her with his shoulder, he bends down slightly and whispers. "Bet you 20 coins those two get together before we get back." (Y/N) looks back at him and raises a bro, her own smirk making its way onto her face, much wider than Jim's.

"Your so on."
