Hey there, I decided to reboot Escape from Scalpers Island, a fan-fiction I wrote way back in 2012. I originally stopped it because of writers block, but now that I have a clearer head, I think its time to give it another go.

It will use the original smiley format, will be much shorter than Escape was planned to be(Face it, about 50% would be filler) and will hopefully use the original humour of Escape, if only a bit less nonsensical. Well, lets give this a go!

Plot:
Shroomboom, S2 Chop Chop, Bouncer and Flameslinger were bought by scalpers due to their defects and were taken to Scalpers Island, home of the most devious and rich scalpers you could ever meet. The group of 4 originally made a plan to escape, but were locked up by the scalpers in a closet, still in packaging, never to see light again. But 3 years later, the scalpers have finally decided to ship them off to an unknown location. Helpless, they use the last of Bouncers energy to send a distress signal back to the store, which has just undergone an expansion. Now, the SSF/STT newbies and the remaining members of the store group come together to save the Skylanders!

P-1: The 3 Year Darkness, And the Lightning Strike

*3 days earlier*

:shroomboom: Chop Chop, quit kicking me!

Well, I don't really have anything else to do in this dark closet, don't I? You were always my favourite... toy.

Thanks, that... toy? You call me, a marvellous spore like me, a TOY!?

Guys, cut it out! 3 years in the dark and you still don't like each other!

Don't blame me, blame the "fungi".

*looks at the pair* Wow, still at it. I guess being an Undead has its benefits... kind of. A

Well then, now that a certain pair have shut up...

*Chop Chop and Shroomboom cower in the packaging*

What did you do? I can't remember the last time these two stopped talking.

Well, firstly I -

*nearby door opens*

I DON'T WANNA DIE! *bawls uncontrollably*

Ssh, the scalpers here! Don't dare move, or he might notice somethings up.

??? Scalper: *opens glass cabinet* Ah, I've been waiting for 3 years to sell you lot. You can do a lot in 3 years you know. *munches scone made of $20 bills* Now, I've found a buyer and he'll make me even richer! Especially you, my knight in shining armour...

Oh lord, I'll never think the same way about humans again...

??? Scalper: In 4 days, you lot will go off to this rather "dashing" child, and I will get that sweet, sweet money. *watch beeps* TO THE BENTLEY! *leaves*

All: ...

Is this it? Never returning to the store? Though I must admit that Bentley looks mighty fine-

Bouncer, we need to use you to get a message back to the store. Get ready, and we'll send it.

Wait, are you out of your MIND!? This could pretty much kill me! Well, not really, but still... You sure about this Flamey?

101%. Now send that message.

Bouncer... You were a good robot. Even if you had a black eye, you were still annoying.

You realise this could be the last time he speaks? Insensitive mushroom. Why am I even in a 2-pack with him...

*Bouncer "dies"*

Well, here's hoping to a successful rescue guys. So, anyone wanna hear my jokes? Even though there isn't "mushroom" in here...

+ *groan*




At the store...

11:37 PM

IS THE PIE BAKED?

Fright Rider, you have wasted 7 of our plans!

Let me at him...

*the lightning bolt strikes*

All in the store: *SCREAM*

Guys, look who just came back, the guy who left this burned area here on the shelf.

????: Yes, I have returned. Lightning strikes twice, you know.

:sb: It can't be... you? (extract ends here)

????: Mmhm. The one and only.

Why are you back here Lightning Rod? You abandoned us in our time of need.

I simply felt I was wasting my time sitting on these shelves waiting for someone to buy me. Frankly, I shouldn't even have come back.

GET OVER HERE SO I CAN RIP YOUR BEARDED FACE OFF!

Whos this extraordinary chap beholding my eyes? Surely, HE MUST BE GOD!

:th: Trust me, you don't know the full story.

*Lightning strikes again*

Why are you back? Still haven't answered the question, have ya big lummox?

1. I don't appreciate being called a "lummox", thank you very much. 2. I heard you had some trouble getting those 4 back, so I thought I'd pay the old gang a visit and... get them back.

Why do you want to help us?

My manliness simply wouldn't let "old friends" down in the time of need. I also have personal motives, that I don't think should be discussed...

Ha! The little girl here thinks he can hide his problems by hiding like the coward he is! *rolls on the floor laughing*

*Hot Head is struck by lightning, and falls off the shelf*

*CRASH*

OW! Little help here, anyone?

Never mind the fireball cretin. The one way to get your friends back is to get onto the "Shining Light", a ferry which can go to your destination.

:gg: ...Fine. When does this ferry depart?

*slowly claps* Ha! With this gang, you won't even get in the ferry! You need Skylanders with magical powers for ANY chance at all.

:gg: Well, looks like it's time to play the waiting game.

SIMPLY ONE OF MY FAVOURITE GAMES! AN EXQUISITE GAME OF PATIENCE AND FRIENDSHIP, DON'T YOU AGREE?

Why did he come here out of all places? *sigh*

Don't worry guys, we're coming for you. Stay safe.



Hope you guys enjoyed it, and tell me what you think of it so far! Hopefully it will be a worthy reboot of the original! Stay tuned for Chapter 1!

1-1: The Journey To Ebay Begins! - The store has expanded quite a bit over the last 3 years, and the group at the store are getting ready for another day of rowdy kids. But an unexpected arrival has them preparing to go where they've never gone before!

*3 years later in the store, 5 am*

Cluck cluck! Good morning fellow rejects! Hope these 3 years have been suitable for your various demands and biological needs!

This isn't an aeroplane or a camp Fright Rider. Plus... there's more important stuff to worry about. *looks at his right* *sniffs*

*punches packaging* Why. Haven't. We. Been. Bought [/b]YET!?[/b]

Take a chill pill... oh wait. You already cleared the medical aisle. Its a good thing they had that expansion, isn't it Gill Grunt?

*partially ignores Lightning Rod* Shut up, I'm working.

Wow, I never thought you'd go to this level just to save a few Skylanders. Get a grip man!

Psst, guys. Get into your packaging, the kids are about to come in.

SIMPLY adorable! I think these guys are better than you, especially in terms of looks and vigour!

Creep...

Hmm. I would say get behind the new Trap Team Skylanders. We went 1 year without being bought, we can still keep it-

*doors open*

DON'T TAKE MY OTHER ARM! I just can't live without it.

Oh boy, here they come! It just boils me up! In fact, I'm literally steaming right now! So much. I could go into a pot!

*kids throw Lob-Star at a Bushwhack*

Gah! Looks like its the end of the road for me boys!

We lost a good man... Or should I say, 2 men. OR! 2-

*whispering* Hot Head, quiet! We could be caught! But Bushwhack calling me a boy... urgh.

Oh no. No no no no no no no no no no no no!

Yikes, if Tree Rex is worried then I think we're screwed.

SCALPER SCUM ALERT!

Scalper: Hmm... any of these beauties have any defects on them? I should pick some up for the ferry trip...

GUYS! Did you hear that! He said ferry trip! This means we could possibly go!

...Hmm. Interesting.

Wait, don't tell me Lightning Rod. You want us to go and be bought by the scalper to go on the ferry, right?

...Well its better than my idea. I think this may be our only chance to rescue them. Gill Grunt?

Ok guys, I never thought I would say this, but -

INCOMING, LADIES!

*Wildfire hits a kid after being thrown, kid starts bawling*

Oh Wildfire, you never learn. So, I never thought I would say this, but we're leaving this store.

Everyone: What!?

NO! I REFUSE TO LEAVE!

Fine, just enjoy your time Alone. Once chucked into a bin and eventually incinerated in a landfill site, with no-one liking you.

OHHHHHH! GET WRECKED HOT HEAD! WOW! *English accent* Jolly good show if I do say myself chaps, perhaps me and the guv'nor can get a fry-up later, hmm?

Listen to Gill Grunt, this could be important.

So are we going or not? I'm itching to get to them! Well, more like-

TMI, Prism Break.

Ready to leave this dump?

Everyone: ...

I mean, our home?

Everyone: Yeah!

Then what are we waiting for, let's push everyone out of the way!

For once, I actually agree with you. One second. *creates a paint mark on Lightning Rod*

WHY!? My manliness is ruined, oh how I'll live it down, I don't know!

Push the STT out the way! For them. I ain't giving up until they're back with us. *pushes all the STT out of the way*

Scalper: *smiles crazily* Excellent! These will go PERFECT with my new collection, "Skylanders: The Art Experience!" Oh ho ho, this is too good to be true! *swipes the gang*

WOOP WOOP, time to get this shebang started! Fellow 4 Skylanders, here we travel!

*Scalper leaves store, gets in car and drives to the port*
---END---

I hope you enjoyed reading this, and be sure to tell me what you thought of it! Next chapter will come soon, so be ready! (Or just sit and do other stuff in the meantime, I don't mind.)

...where is the next chapter?

Quote: The Bone Chompy

...where is the next chapter?

Coming shortly, either today or tomorrow! I did say chapters would be out within a week, but thanks for reminding me, I'll try and make them a bit quicker from now on.

Oh ok,thanks.

Excuse the smiley errors. Darkspyro had another brain fart.

1-2: What Happened To Prism Break That Night?
Flameslinger and the Dragonfire Cannon Skylanders(Shroomboom and Chop Chop) chat for a while before they prepare to be sent away. With the store gang, the Skylanders discuss plans for the ferry and beyond, but an unexpected event may change these plans for the worse...

Outside the ??? Scalpers room, and in his garden...

...*yawns* Sure is a nice day today, eh GIll Grunt?

Psst, Flamey. Snap out of it. Its only a bit warm outside. Plus, you know what the white spotted-*ahem* Shroomboom's like in this weather.

*feverishly laps up the sunlight* Wow, this tastes amazing! Come on Chop Chop, try some for yourself!

Uh, thanks, but no. Now Flamey... Can you hear me?

Pretty butterflies and Stealth Elfs... ah this is the life, isn't it Drill Sergeant?

Woah, he's pretty delirious. I never knew he loved Stealth Elf!

Gah, what am I going to do!? This idiots with me and Flameslingers gone... cuckoo. Oh boy.

Hahaha! This... sure... is... *wheezes* lovely...

*sun disappears behind clouds*

OH! WHERE IN THE WORLD AM I? Shroomboom, tell me what happened whilst I was having my "moment".

Lets just say you said you loved-

Waffles! You said you loved waffles, Belgian, maple syrup, pancake stack, any type of waffle!

*nervous laugh* Yeah, waffles. That's right.

:fs: Hmm, sorry about that, it just happens when the sunlight gets too much for me.

*footsteps on patio*

Never mind, just get in your packaging and don't move!

??? Scalper: Heh, this looks like a healthy profit for the likes of me. Now to seal you up in mint condition packaging, then-*kisses the air*, you'll be ready to go!

I never thought I'd say this, but this is much more worse than Kaos pizza toppings garden. That's saying something alright.

??? Scalper: Yes, my darlings, you are ready to set sail and bring me back a big wad of cash! But the Bouncer... he'll do I guess.

:fs: Guys, where are you!? We need you quickly, and I mean Elite Stealth Elf quickly!

??? Scalper: *munches scone made out of money* Mmm, do you hear that? That is the sweet sweet taste of scones with money infused into them. Off we go now!

*packs the 4 Skylanders into a case and prepares to leave*

In the Scalpers car boot, the store gang discuss plans...

So, anyone got any ideas on how to actually do anything on the ferry?

Yes! We should obviously kill somebody for the fun of it! ITS PERFECT!

Except from the douchebag and his ostrich.

:starstrike: Well, the S.S Scalpers pretty big, no wonder with all the money they make.

:gg: Aye, although compared to usual Scalper standards, it isn't really that fancy.

Mmhm, they have a huge area for storing their Skylanders. Sick people, they are. But they're just above those rotten kids that come into the store. *glances at missing arm*

I heard its so big, you could fit another ferry inside of it!

I doubt it. Not even the Scalpers could afford a ferry that size.

:gg: Ok, heres the plan so far that I've come up with. Its pretty simple to be honest. We just wait until we get to the storage area.

Others: ...

Wow, Here, I thought Fright Rider was the idiotic and birdbrained one.

Sadly I agree. How on earth will we get anything done if we do that exactly?

:gg: Trust me, that's how it works. Unless you want to pull a Mission Impossible or something, which I really hope you don't.

:ss: Guys, looks like we're pulling up for gas.

*Scalper stops at gas station*

Scalper: Darn gas prices these days...*sigh*

*tiny bickering is heard*

Ssh, do you hear that?

YES I DO! SO-

*Tree Rex smacks Fright Rider unconscious*

Excellent. Now where were we?

I'm going to investigate it. *pushes open car boot with Hot Head and Tree Rex's help*

:gg: Woah, dude! Don't go out there! For all we know, there could be those kids you hate!

Does it look like theres any to you Gill Grunt?

:gg: ...No. But you only have one arm, so I'll occupy you.

Cheers.

*They walk to the source of the bickering*

Hijinx: Its your fault we got stuck at this gas station!

:eyesmall: But you told me it was a good idea!

Hijinx: Liar! I said no such thing

:eyesmall: You're the worst counterpart a person could be stuck with, you know that?

Chill kiddies, whats the problem?

Hijinx: We got lost here. Could you take us in?

:eyesmall: It was her fault!

Hijinx: Was not!

:eyesmall: Was too!

:gg: I can't say no to a miniature version of Eye-Brawl, come with us.

Hijinx: But I asked first!

*Scalper comes out after paying for gas*

:gg: OH CRUD. Run!

*Gill Grunt hops into boot*

We can't keep up!

:eyesmall: We're scared, hurry up!

*car begins driving away*

GRAB ON! ALL OF YOU!

*They hold onto Hot Heads hands, the car is on the road driving*

They're too heavy! I'll lose my grip!

...No. Take the kids.

What!? You're risking your own life for 2 Skylanders we don't even know!?

Since I lost that arm, its been miserable since then. I thought, Why not do something nice, when I met these two.

:ss: No! Please stay! Don't leave us!

I'm sorry, but those kids lives are more important than mine.

:gg: ... Have it your way. You're a good Skylander Prism Break. Let go of him Hot Head.

*Prism Break falls onto the road, the boot shuts*

Hijinx: Will he be OK? I like him.

He'll be OK, he's just going on a journey for a moment.

*Car drives further out of sight*

Better get off of this road before... oh no.

*Car tire comes speeding in his direction*

I love you all, good luck.

*CRASH*

---END---

Did Prism Break survive? Find out soon...

Chapters will now come in 1-5 days, thanks for your consideration, tell me what you thought about this chapter and tell me anything important that needs to be said! See you next time for...

Oh yeah, I realised whats wrong with the smilies. Forgot the limit of 40 per post, so I may multi-post the chapters from now on.



Chapter 2-1: Hot Dogs On The S.S. Scalper: The gang arrive at the S.S. Scalper, a ferry used to carry notorious scalpers, and are dumped into the cargo hold/storage area. However, they may have a few new allies on their side... and they're pirates.

...

...

...

Cheer up guys! I'm sure no one liked that hunk of junk anyway, right? He was a true nuisance and rock around here, so-

FRIGHT RIDER, HE DECIDED TO GIVE HIS LIFE TO RESCUE THOSE KIDS. DON'T YOU KNOW WHEN TO SHUT UP!?

Chill guys, he's most likely gone, but we need to focus on the objective. We can mourn Prism Break later.

Speaking of which... I think we've arrived at port.

:hijinx: Is Prism Break coming back?

Don't worry kids, he's only on a journey and will be back soon with gifts for you both! ...Wow, it's sad lying to a kid about a death.

Right then, get into your packaging and into the suitcase. That old miser will be out of the car to pick us up soon.

Scalper: Finally, arrived at the old port. Good times, good times. I just loved annoying that French assistant before my trip.

*Scalper walks out of car and takes the suitcase to the ship after putting clamps on car*

Scalper: Put some clamps on this... Excellent, nobodies going to steal this now!

*9:38 am, in the port*

Man: Mon ami, would ze customer like to... oh. Sacre bleu! Not you again!

Scalper: No worries, that's all over with. Now, hows the toupee?

Man: Monsieur, c'est... I see, trying the old toupee trick again. You will not get anywhere with zat attitude of yours.

Scalper: Oh really... *knocks toupee off the man's head* Woah, you're bald!? Pfft, look whos the loser now! *guffaws uncontrollably*

Man: ...Through that door, the entrance to the dock. Go now. *runs away* Je non regrette rien(I regret nothing!)

Scalper: Still the same after all these years. Off to meet my fellow enthuiasts!

*Enters ship and deposits suitcase on a conveyor belt* *Ship leaves*

Ring, Ring May I have your attention please, this ferry is headed for Scalpers Island, Rich Isle and Canada. We hope you enjoy your journey.Ring Ring

Ok guys, I think we can leave now.

Think again genius. We're about to go on one of those drops you see in theme parks, except without the safety. Oh, and no ramp apparently.

Waa! I want to go home!

Calm down, we're only- oh. Hang onto me!

Everyone: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

*loud thud*

Wow... where are we? I must have dosed off in the car.

You fell asleep and now we're in the ferry. Better open this suitcase and see whats outside.

*grunts* Ha! Oh... guys. Look at this.

*Huge amounts of other Skylanders surround them*

*whispers* Well... I have no words, other than that we're screwed.

???: You been bought and scalped?

Ha! You're just a silly little man who walks on 4 arms! OHHOHOHOHO! *is blasted with ink and falls unconscious*

Ugh, excuse our "friend". He tends to do this kind of crazy stuff often.

???: No worries, you guys seem legit. Let me and the gang introduce ourselves.

I'm Captain Hot Dog, leader of the Sea Scalper Pirates! Except, we don't scalp. I really should've thought of a better name...

Hey there new fish, I'm First Mate Wash Buckler! *whispers* Really, I should be Captain.

Look over here, I'm Terrafin! But I'm cabin boy, so don't mind me too much.

See these Skylanders here, they're our crew/ refugees. You wanna know why scalpers only use this ship as a last resort?

Go on.

We take them out of their packaging, hide them, the scalper can't find them, no money, no scalper to deal with. BOOM.

Yarr, definitely a good way to protect these fellow mateys here!

That's good and all, but we're trying to get to Scalper Island to rescue a bunch of friends.

Hmm. You want to get to that wretched island? I think I can help you... for a small fee.

MUST BE LIKE 1 BILLION COINS, RIGHT!? *knocked unconcious again*

Maybe we should've brought bags of money to help us... Eh.

Whats your price?

Oh, you'll enjoy this one. I guarantee it.

My price: help us take over the ship in a coup d'etat. Then, we have full control over where we go.

I hate to burst your bubble bullets Wash Buckler and Hot Dog, but how on earth do we do that? We're 6cm tall, they're 2 metres tall. Explain?

Simple. We don't go hand to hand combat on them. We use the ships machinery to our advantage.

I see where you're going with this. But what if we're seen? 1: We're exposed as living things. 2: We could be scalped. Figure out the rest.

If that happened, well. We'd be screwed. But look around you. Over 100+ Skylanders, ready to scalp those scalpers.
I think we should go with the coup d'etat Gill.

I think we should go with the coup d'etat. Whatever that means. I'll do it, as long as we get to Scalpers Island. Deal?

You have a pirates word mate! *shakes paw with Gill Grunt*

Skylanders, prepare for the greatest take-over of your seaborne lives!

Everyone: YEAH!

---END---

Hope you enjoyed it guys, sorry about the wait! I'll be posting the next one between Saturday-Tuesday, be prepared for the next chapter in the Rescue from Scalpers Island series! Oh, as always, tell me what you thought about it. I'd appreciate it.

Chapter being multi-posted btw.

Chapter 2-2: Melancholy, Mechanisms and The Fall Of The S.S. Scalper - The Skylanders have devised a plan to take control of the S.S. Scalper efficiently and effectively so they can get to Scalpers Island. It seems too easy for the store group, but is it a ruse?

Right then, go over the plan again, I couldn't hear you over Fright Riders outbursts.

Let's do this... again. *glares at Fright Rider* So, we send squads to take down the mechanisms controlling the ship: Communications, Movement and obviously, the engines. Once they're down, we'll wait until no scalpers are left on the ship, and then get our Sprocket to repair them asap. Got it mates?

Yeah...

Surely this plan can't fail, right Eye Small? Eye Small?

...

Oh brother. He's been pretty distraught lately... Probably due to "that incident".

Sounds good to me Captain. Is it alright if I get my gang together as a squad?

Well... We don't usually allow this, but I don't see why not. Plus, the more the merrier, right?

Well, what are we waiting for? LET'S GO NOW!

Hold your seahorses, we're not going yet. Wait until we get to the stroke of 8, when the Scalpers trade Skylanders in the entertainment deck.

Fine, shark-boy. Have it your way.

I'll be sure to give those mechanisms a good old-

I'm no Water element genius, but isn't electricity + water a bad idea?

Mmhm. Before you pull the "they'll be dry" argument, they won't. The water obviously goes into them.

*grumbles in discontent* Oh... that's a real shame. I would have liked to see some fried fish.

OH! You taking that Gill? He wants to quickscope you into oblivion! Wow, mum get-

*Fright Rider is knocked unconscious*

Wow, this guy. I wonder when he'll ever shut up. No, wrong question. If, he'll ever shut up.

Hmph. Wonder when we'll get anywhere with this plan. Speaking of which... looks like we have a courtesy call.

Back into the packaging and suitcases people! No time to lose!

Scalper: Hmm... Coulda sworn I heard me some rumblin' here. Oh whatever. If we gets money, dats alright with me. *leaves*

... Phew. Close one, eh?

100% right, you big ball of hot air.

Now, now, before we get into arguments, lets just organise the squads...

*7:58 pm, in the cargo hold*

Right men, and ladies. Roll call time! Squad 1?

Gills Store Group: Yep!

Squad 2:

Squad 2: Ready to go!

Squad 3?

Squad 3: ...

Close enough. We don't have much time for this, so let's get going crew! Yarr!

Everyone: Yarr!

*8:05 pm, in a vent*

Good thing you have me here to expand the vents and light the way, otherwise you'd have to rely on that star girl instead.

Don't even go there Hot Head, or I will personally make sure you never see the light of day again.

...Okay. Women. Urgh...

AAAAAAH!

What is it Eye Small, scary scalper?

N-n-n-n-no. That...

Oh, its just a old red fox corpse. Looks kinda robotic too. Wonder how it got here. Never mind it though. March on!

The Movement mechanism, that's where we're headed right?

Nope. We're already there.

Nonsense, there's no way... oh. I see. Its kinda underwhelming to be honest.

:hiijinx: I'll get this one. *throws bone into gears, mechanism breaks*

*Ring Ring* Scalpers, we are currently experiencing some technical difficulties, please- *shuts off*

---CONTINUED ON NEXT POST---

---CONTINUES FROM PREVIOUS POST---

I'll get this one. *throws bone into gears, mechanism breaks* Too easy, even for a little kid like me.

*Ring Ring*Scalpers, we are currently experiencing some technical difficulties, please-*cuts off*

Oh how wonderful! Mechanisms shut down, scalpers noticing something wrong, perfect! In fact, its like a party where everyones invited and we're all having-

Shut up fool and hold onto something! These are going to be a few bumpy minutes! Not in that way, of course, the ship will pretty much be sinking, so... yeah.

*CRASH* A

Random Scalper: Aw heck, even in Texas I wasn't being flung around this much... Now I'm flying towards a table... yeehaw! *smacks head-first into table*

Scalpers: "Oh god, my collection!" "What about my mums credit card?" "I WANT MY TUFF LUCK!"

*Ship consistently rocks and inside items such as chandeliers begin to fall*

Yikes, this is intense.

Just hang in there missus, we'll be back home by teatime! I think...

*Ship is evacuated successfully... well most of them anyway*

Sprocket, quickly!

On it boss... K, all of them fixed, we're going upright and we now have 99.99% control of the ship!

You hear that Hot Dog? The coup d'etat was a success!

Ruff ruff! ...? Oh, I mean, "Yarr!", Excellent job First Mate Wash Buckler! We'll gather on the entertainment deck at 9 pm. Get that out to the rest.

Whatever you say Captain!

Guys, it was a success! We're going to Scalpers Island!

Gill's Store Group: Hooray!

*9 pm*

Well, here we are. Free from our captors and free to walk the ship again! Special thanks to the newbies for taking down the Movement mechanism!

*whispers to Eye Small* Did we really need a congratulations for that? It was just throwing a bone in anyway.

Cheers guys, now we'll be off to enjoy a nice long rest on the beds. Come on guys.

*shot fired, Wash Buckler collapses*

I don't think so.

... Terrafin!? Tell me, what the heck have you done?

I'm afraid this is the part where I double cross you. Terribly sorry about that. *shoots*

Yikes! Do something guys!

We have our own problems...

*surrounded by most of the other Pirate Skylanders*

Hey, at least we have some sympathisers right?

Yeah, like SEVEN.

Well guys, lets take these suckers down.

*Once a long bout of fighting is over*

Not bad. You took down my army. Its a shame though, that you won't get to Scalpers Island.

Whaddya mean ya female baby-barfing shark? You wanna fight bro, huh?

For once, I don't mind him. Never thought I'd see the day.

Well, this ship is on course for the United States. Hope you enjoy their food, you'll be in there for the rest of your lives.

Oh, he's going down. *charges* HOW DO YOU LIKE THIS!?

*Terrafin shoots Hijinx*

:hijinx: AAAAAAAAAA! *falls unconcious*

You monster. How could you hurt an innocent child like her?

Don't worry Gill, it's only the arm that was shot. But this is a special bullet, I don't think the damage will heal.

Well then Terrafin, you like to shoot members of my gang? How about I shoot you instead? *loads harpoon*

Hmph, I see the irony. Well not really, but whatever. I was aiming for her head, but if she doesn't wake up, it'll do.

You shot an innocent girl. I can't let anyone get away with that. I hope you die knowing what you've done.

*shoots harpoon into Terrafin, killing him*

...Wow. I'm sorry guys, but I'll take you to Scalpers Island, is that fine.
