: Alright! Here we go! Day 3 of this story's (err.. spoof's)
: serialization! Here is the fourth chapter! Happy reading!
: Chapter 4
: ROB T, still holding the Lambert brothers at gunpoint, he demanded
: answers from the pair. But, little did they know of the the
: mysterious galleon that silently crept up on the cruise ship.
: ìNow, hold on, let me explain--î James began to say but was cut off as
: a Chinese pirate, fully armed, entered the room. ROB T. quickly took
: aim at the pirate and gave a quick shot, which missed by about a foot.
: The surprised pirate aimed his rifle at ROB T.ís chest and quickly
: fired, bringing the Indy collectorís swift death.
: In a quick decision, James kicked the pirate in the midsection and
: knocked him down and out into the hallway. James rushed into the hall
: to continue the fight. The pirate struck back with a kick of his own,
: knocking James into the wall.
: Meanwhile, cries and screams could be heard all throughout the ship as
: dozens of Chinese pirates boarded the ship fully armed.
: Still in ROB T.ís cabin, Brett looked out of the wood slated window
: and gasped. ìPirates!!î
: Back in the hallway, the Chinese pirate had grabbed a railing, removed
: it from the bearings, broke it in half and with one in each hand,
: twirled them in the direction of James.
: Another pirate came in the direction of James. But this one already
: had an opponent, one of the sailors from the ship, and the sailor was
: losing big time. The other pirate kicked the sailor and he flew in
: between James and his opponent. Quickly, James kneed the sailorís
: opponent in the chest, snatched up his rifle and began twirling it at
: his stick-wielding pirate.
: Brett, meanwhile grabbed ROB T.ís gun. ìI hate not knowing what comes
: next!î Brett muttered as he went out the door and ran to the opposite
: end of the hallway of James and the pirate. Unfortunately, he ran
: straight into half a dozen rifle-bearing pirates.
: James and the pirate were still duking it out in the hall. After
: rigorously fighting with the sticks, James dropped the rifle, twirled
: around and kicked the pirate smack in the face. The pirate quickly
: recovered and swung a punch at James who quickly ducked. James tried
: to punch the pirate in the belly, but he shielded the bunch with his
: arm. The pirate swung around for another punch, but James blocked his
: punch as quickly as the pirate blocked his.
: On the deck of the ship, several crew members were having a gunfight
: with the pirates still on board their own vessel. The first mate
: fired his side arm and successfully hit one of the pirates in the
: head, and his body fell into the dark waters below.
: Meanwhile, James took the fight out on the ships decks. He flipped
: the pirate over, who surprisingly got back up. As soon as he got back
: up, the fedora-wearing James kicked him again and again in the face
: and the stomach, forcing him farther down the deck. James gave one
: final kick to the jaw, knocking him to the ground.
: Hehehe... I kicked some ass! James thought as he smirked.
: But that smile vanished as, out of nowhere, a black leather boot
: smacked him in the face. James fell down and rolled down the ramp and
: down into all the passengers and the pirates holding them at gunpoint.
: Walking down the stairs was Tessa, the singer and the black
: leather-clad figure who kicked James.
: As soon as James stood up, Brett ran over to him, Meg was there, too.
: He looked around as gun wielding pirates forced the passengers to
: forfeit their watches, jewels, wallets and paper clips.
: ìItís the singer!î Brett exclaimed.
: As Tessa continued to walk down the stairs, she began to speak.
: ìWe donít want to make your lives short. We just want your money,
: your jewels...î Tessa stopped walking and looked at all the frightened
: passengers, then continued her sentence,îyour gold. My name is Tessa,
: and this is my first mate, Goodsport!î Tessa pointed to a shirtless,
: brawny man with huge biceps.
: Goodsport walked forward (besides Tessa, he was the only pirate who
: was not Chinese). He flexed his arms for the passengers, who gawked
: as his muscles bulged bigger than anything they had ever seen before.
: Goodsport smiled as sweat dripped off his arms.
: ìHoly shit!î were the only two words that escaped Brettís mouth at the
: sight of this massive hulk.
: A pirate went to Meg and yanked her bag.
: ìNo! Itís mine!!î Meg screamed.
: Tessa, meanwhile, walked up to Indy Magnoli, reached in his shirt
: pocket, and silently pulled out a wad of money. Seeing this, Abner
: stepped forward. Tessa drew out her gun and shot poor Abner, who
: collapsed amidst many shrieks and hollars.
: Brett and James looked back at Meg, who was still fighting over the
: bag with the pirate.
: ìMeg, give him the bag!î James yelled.
: ìYes, give it up!î Brett agreed.
: ìNO!î Meg screamed as the pirate took her bag and dumped itís contents
: on the ground.
: A few clothes came out and to Brett and Jamesí surprise, the box!
: Brett turned to James and screamed in astonishment. ìShe had the
: box!!î
: Meg took a dive for the box, but the pirate picked it up and dumped it
: with the other valuables.
: Goodsport investigated James to see if he had anything of value. He
: patted his pockets and then finally noticed the key to the box that
: was hanging around his neck. He gave a big, semi-toothless grin and
: made use of his massive muscles as he ripped the key from Jamesí neck.
: ìNow they have the key!î Brett screamed.
: ìJames, you had the key?î Meg said, standing up. ìYou were the ones
: who attacked Webley at the temple!î
: ìYou were the one who shot him in his room?î James asked.
: ìHe was going to kill me! We were supposed to be partners!î Meg
: exclaimed.
: Goodsport noticed three of the other pirates trying to lower all of
: the passengersí valuables into their pirate ship to little success.
: Goodsport pushed back all three pirates aside, grabbed the rope and
: raised and lowered the massive treasure bundle from the cruise ship to
: the pirate ship.
: Tessa walked over to the shipís railing, stood up on it and began to
: speak. ìAttention! I would like to thank you for sharing your
: considerable wealth with me, Goodsport, and the rest of my crew.
: Sorry, I wonít be able to entertain you any longer!î With a smile,
: Tessa back flipped and landed over at her own vessel. She hollered
: something in Chinese, and the ship began moving. Goodsport gave a
: semi-toothless grin, flexed his sweaty muscles, and jumped into the
: ship also.
: Meg looked over at the ship slowly sailing away. She decided to run
: for it.
: Brett looked over at James, and then ran off towards the lifeboats.
: James followed.
: ìShe had the box!î Brett exclaimed.
: Meanwhile, the Chinese pirates began firing their weapons on the ship.
: The first mate was back at it again, firing rounds at the fierce
: pirates.
: ìIt was in our room!!!î Brett yelled at James.
: ìDonít worry about that now, all we need is a boat!î James said,
: running forward. ìHereís one!î James said, pointing to a lifeboat
: attached to the railings.
: Back at the pirate ship, a cannon ignited, and blew apart the
: lifeboat.
: ìSo much for that one! Look there's one!î James said, pointing down
: at a boat with Meg in it trying desperately to catch the pirate ship.
: ìWhere is she going?î Brett asked.
: ìHey Meg! Wait up!î James said as he climbed over the rails and
: jumped into the boat.
: ìDonít try and stop me, Jimmy! Iím not losing that action figure!î
: Meg yelled.
: ìAh to hell with this!î Brett muttered as he too jumped over the rail
: and landed on the boat.
: ìThe action figure is ours!î Brett yelled.
: ìI have no time to sit and argue, get out of my boat!!î screamed Meg
: at her two unwelcomed visitors.
: ìI throw you overboard!î Brett screamed back.
: ìNo! Brett! No!î James yelled, holding his angry brother back. ìNow
: look, why donít you climb back on the boat! you canít handle these
: pirates by yourself!î James said to Meg.
: ìWe are losing the pirate ship!î Brett screamed.
: ìMaybe we can make a deal! We can split it three ways! Thereís
: plenty for all of us!î Meg stated.
: ìWe donít want to share! Dump her out, James!î Brett motioned to his
: brother.
: ìBrett, I canít do that!î James said.
: ìThat pirate ship is getting away!î
