asked, rudely with sarcasm in her tone.

          “Don’t talk to them like that.  They’re not morons.”

          “Aw…. You’re protecting your boyfriend and his friend.  Now isn’t that sweet?”

          “Magma,” Saphire added, “you shouldn’t speak.  You’re going to jail.  That way the universe will be safe from your destruction.”

          Magma moved her attention toward Saphire.  “Interesting choice of words, Saphire.”

          Daniel walked into the room and stopped at the door.  “The fire proof cell is ready.”

          “Good,” Gregory replied.  “Come on, Jason.  It’s time that we bring Princess Magma to where she really belongs…. Behind bars.”

 

 

          Gregory and Jason had Magma follow them to a cell in the jail house.  Daniel had walked in front of them with the key to the cell.  Once they had arrived at the bar cell, Daniel unlocked the cell door and opened it.  He went and unlocked the fire proof chains around Magma’s hands then Jason pushed Magma into the cell.  Gregory closed the door and Daniel relocked it.  Both Jason and Daniel left.

          “I hope you like it in there because that’s where you’re going to be staying for now on.”  Gregory left without another word.

 

 

          Zelda, Ben, John, and Olivia work their way around the deceit almost medieval village almost with beautiful grey and sliver stone walls on the buildings of the town on the planet known as Daze.  It had been a couple of days since they had left Twister and now they were on the new planet searching for bounty hunters.  John carried a small hand held device which Aaron had given to them for them to use.  It was a small tracking device which was similar to the one he had made about four years earlier to keep track of Zelda.

          “John, are any bounty hunters showing up on that device yet?” Olivia asked.

          “Nope,” John answered as he kept his eyes on the device.  “Not yet.”

          Zelda walked over to John.  Before she began speaking, she made sure that Olivia couldn’t hear her.  “Did you give Olivia the ring yet?”

          “No.”

          “Do you have it with you?”

          “Hold on…. Let me check.”  He held the tracking device in one hand as he dug his hand into his pocket with the other.  He pulled out the ring.  “Yes.”

          “Then go give it to her before you forget.”

          “Good idea.”  What would John have done if Zelda wasn’t around to remind him of those kind of things?  He wasn’t dumb but he sure could be air headed at times.  He walked over to Olivia and wrapped his arm around her.  “I got something for you.”

          “You did…. What?” Olivia asked.

          “This.”  He took her hand and placed the ring on her ring finger.

          “It’s nice.”  Olivia stared at the ring, admiring it.  “Thanks.”

          They shared a kiss.

          Ben placed his arm around Zelda.  “Aw…. Isn’t that cute?”

          “Yea,” Zelda agreed.

          “Now I want to kiss you.”  He figured that she helped John find the ring and she had given him the idea to ask Olivia to marry him.

          “Who’s stopping you?”

          Ben kissed Zelda.

          Confusion over came Zelda as she didn’t know why Ben had wanted her there in the first place?  She couldn’t do anything if the bounty hunters arrived.  “Why did you have me come?  I mean I can’t fight because you don’t want me to and I don’t have a way to defend myself if we get attacked.”

          Ben agreed with Zelda but he wouldn’t let anything to happen to her as long as he was alive.  He was willing to throw himself into harm’s way before letting anyone laid a hand on and it didn’t matter if she was pregnant or not.  “Don’t worry about that.  If that happens,” he reminded her, “then I’ll protect you…. You’re my angel.”

          “John, are any bounty hunters showing up?” Olivia asked.

          John looked at the device.  “Still no.”

          “Is it even on?” Ben asked.

          “Yea.”

          Ben and Zelda walked over toward the other couple.  “Maybe it doesn’t work,” Ben replied.  “That device he gave to Zelda and me doesn’t work.  I tried to use it when Zelda was asleep but it said, ‘Can’t say.’”

          “It works,” John reassured his brother.  “Me and Aaron tried it on Ryan and we found him in the wine cellar, making out with a picture of….” He tried not to laugh.  “Zelda.”

          Ben and Olivia had burst out into laughter while Zelda just gave John a funny look.

          John couldn’t hold in his laughter either.  “Why are you looking at me like that?”

          “That boy has problems.”  Zelda knew that Ryan liked her but that was a little too creepy for her.

          John looked at the device then looked up, confused.  “This is weird.  It says that the bounty hunters are in front of us but I don’t see any.”

          “John,” Olivia spoke with a nervous tone, a little fearful.  “Turn around.”

          “Okay.”  He turned around to find Leo and eleven other bounty hunters standing behind them.

          “Weren’t we the ones going to sneak up on them?” Zelda asked, confused.

          “What do you want, Leo?” Olivia asked.

          “Your blood,” Leo answered.  He wanted to see all four of the pirates in front of him lying on the ground dead and covered with ruby red blood.

          Olivia rolled her eyes.  “I know that.  Isn’t there another reason why you want to kill us?”

          Leo took a moment before answering.  “Nope.”  He noticed Zelda was the only one without any weapons on her.  She would be an easy target for him.  “Aw…. You weren’t planning to fight…. Huh, Zelda?  You don’t have your sword with you.”

          Ben kept his arm wrapped tightly around his wife while he used his other hand to grip the handle of his sword.  “She’s not going to fight because I don’t want her to…. You have to fight me instead, Leo.”

          Leo was interested by Ben’s words.  He wanted to know why Zelda wasn’t allowed to fight.  “Why?”

          “Like I’m going to tell you.”

          “And you can’t fight him if you don’t fight us,” Olivia added.  “Right, John?”

          “Right,” John agreed.

          “Really?” Leo asked.  He wasn’t really in the fighting mood but he did want to see a good battle.  “Okay…. Katie, Matthew, James, Sarah, Clark, David, Ray, Anna,” he spat out the names too fast as the other bounty hunters prepared themselves, “Lily, and Jesse, attack!”

          Ben, Olivia, and John had drawn their swords and blocked the attacks from the bounty hunters.  Zelda slowly backed away from the battle field and found a safe place to hide out.  She made sure the bounty hunters weren’t watching her as she slid into a dark murky cave.  “I shouldn’t have to do this,” she told herself.  “I feel like a big chicken.  I hope Ben’s okay because he’s going to get it when we’re back on the ship for making me do this.”

 

 

          John blocked an attack from one of the female bounty hunters.  “This isn’t fair!  It’s eleven against three!”

          Olivia attacked one of the men.  “We’ll get it!  Don’t worry!”

          Two bounty hunters from both sides of Ben went to attack him.  He quickly moved away from the two on coming bounty hunters and watched as they stabbed each other’s hearts.  They both dropped dead as Ben continued to watch.  “That was easy.”

          “Ben, behind you!” John warned.

          Ben quickly spun around and blocked an attack from a new bounty hunter.  “Thanks, John.” He murdered the man out of safe defense.

          “No problem.”

          Three men teamed up against Olivia.  “John, Ben, a little help please!”

          “Olivia!” John exclaimed.  “We have to help her.”

          The two bothers began fighting off two of the bounty hunters while Olivia fought the third one. 

 

 

          Zelda snuck a peak to see what was going on.  She noticed how Leo was just standing there while her husband fought off a bounty hunter along with John and Olivia.  She noticed the lifeless bodies of the other bounty hunters, lying on the ground.  A memory tried to work its way into her mind at the sight but she threw it aside as she watched the three bounty hunters drop dead.

 

 

          Leo was ticked off at the sight.  His team of bounty hunters had failed and so he ran.  John began to run after him.

          “Let him go,” Ben told his dear brother.

          “But,” John said as he began to slow down to a stop, “we can’t just let him go.”  He turned toward Ben.  “He wants us dead.”

          “Yea…. We’ll get him.”

          “He’s right,” Olivia agreed with Ben.  “We’ll get him and Russel.”

          Zelda ran over to Ben and wrapped her arms around him.  She was happy to see that he was fine.  “I’m so glad that you’re okay.”

          “What about us?” John asked.

          “Yea,” Olivia agreed.  “We could have gotten killed today too.”

          “Well,” Zelda said, “I’m glad that you two are okay.”

          “Seeing that Leo got away can we go back to the ship?” John asked.

          “Yes,” Olivia answered.

          The four pirates worked their way back toward the ships.

Break Time

          David and Blake were fixing the sails on the Black Velvet.  They black sails were old and torn up compared to the sails on the White Rose which looked brand new but were extremely old.

          “I hate this job,” David stated.  The sails never seemed to stay prefect; something would always ruin them.  All that hard work for nothing.

          “So do I,” Blake agreed, “but it’s something to do.”

          “Yea.”  David looked over at the white sails of the White Rose.  He was surprised how they had seemed to still look new after all those years.  “I want to how the sails on the White Rose stay in shape.”

          “Maybe they exercise.”  Blake laughed.

          “Maybe.”

          Olivia and John arrived onto the ship from the White Rose.  They had been talking to Zelda and Ben about the fight against the bounty hunters.  They worked their way over to the sails.

          Olivia smiled at the great job her other two shipmates were doing.  “You two are doing well!” she called toward them.

          “Thanks, captain!” David and Blake replied together.

          Olivia and John began walking away.

          “Where are we going to next?” John asked.

          “I don’t know,” Olivia admitted.  It was Zelda’s turn to pick the next planet but Zelda hadn’t mentioned anything to her.  “Wherever Zelda thinks we need to go.”

          “Oh.”

          “I want this war against the bounty hunters to end.”

          John wrapped an arm around Olivia.  He was ready for the war to end as well.  “It’ll end.  It’ll end soon.  I swear.  Us pirates will defeat them.”

          They arrived at the captain’s office of the ship and walked in.

 

 

          John began pacing back and forth as Olivia sat behind her desk.  “Who’s going to drive the ships?” he asked.

          “Zelda said that she was going to have Ray drive the White Rose and I want Shawn to drive the Black Velvet.  Of course that’s when we’re ready to go.  Zelda’s going to send Austin here when she’s ready to
