Its Going Down

                                    

                                          
"What's the time?" You and the rest of the crew have been on edge all day, waiting for high noon. "I have no idea- I do know I gotta go keep lookout though." Gil walks away from the wheel of the ship and climbs up to the crows nest. Sighing you jump down the stairs and walk towards the main mast, where Uma and Harry are bugging Ben. "But you said I could hurt him!" Harry demands at Uma. Immediately trying to diffuse the situation you sling an arm around Harry's shoulder. "Hey guys! What's the time?" Uma raises an eyebrow at your attempt to get Harry to chill but answers you nicely. "11:30. Almost time. Now- I have something else to discuss with Ben. ALONE." Harry growls and you pull him away towards the plank. "Look Harry. It's almost time ok? Just relax and think about how satisfying it will be to have the honour of throwing your king off the plank!" Harry gives you an incredulous smile. "You are trouble ya know that?" Smiling back you lean on the railing. "Haha thanks." Closing your eyes you savour the salty breeze and take in the last little bit of calm before the craziness that you knew was coming. 
"Hey guys! Their here!" Gil's excited voice floats down from the rigging. "You go get Ben. I have a nemesis to get to." Putting on your game face you jog over to Uma. "You ready for this sis?" Her voice is low and confident. "Don't worry Uma. I've got your back." As Mal and her crew assemble around the base of the gangplank Uma struts up to the top. "Finally! Let's get this party started! Listen Mal. There's no negotiation." Mal just sneers and you loosen your sword in its scabbard. "O, you need some motivation? Just look at Ben's face, I'll throw him overboard to the killer sharks. You either hand over the wand...or he'll be ripped apart." As Uma finishes her speech you see Mal's tough exterior weaken at the mention of Ben swimming with the notoriously deadly sharks of the Isle. "Let's be smart about this Uma, although that must be hard for you. You'll get your wand, no one has to come to harm." Everyone knows Mal is getting desperate to have Ben safe. "Then hand it over Mal." You pipe up from behind Uma. All eyes are on you as you stare Mal down. After a moment she gives up and stalks to the middle of the gangplank.
 "Go on Y/N. Bring me the wand." Grinning you march down and meet Mal. As she holds out the wand you cross your arms. "Test it first. Show me it's the real deal." Uma chimes in from the top of the plank. "And nothing too big else Ben is fish bait!" Mal tilts her head. "You two were always quite the drama queens." As she looks around you see Evie whisper something to Carlos and then watch as he tries to subtly nod to the dog they brought with them. Glancing up at Uma you see she caught it to. "Although it seems absurd, turn your bark into a word!" Mal tries a terrible fake wand flick and whirls back to you. "Talk dog!" Mal tries. A pause and you wonder weather to start the sword fight yet and then... "Does this vest make me look fat?...and does anyone have some bacon?" Even knowing it was a trick you let your mouth hang open for a moment as you wonder how they got the dog to talk in the first place. "Fine." You hold out your hand. "Give me the wand." Mal glances over to Harry. "Then give me Ben!!" Uma waves at Harry and he sighs dramatically. He drags Ben over and stands just behind you. "The wand?" Mal holds out the wand and her other hand for Ben, looking at you expectantly. "Fine- cut him loose Harry." Harry pulls out his sword and cuts Ben loose, muttering "I never get to have any fun!" The second Ben is loose he stumbles into Mal's arms, you leave Harry standing there and walk over to Uma holding out a fake wand. "So onto plan B?" You murmur. "You got it Y/N. Time for a 5 star acting performance." Grinning you watch as Uma pretends to cast a spell then throw a fit. "Get them!" Uma bellows. You rush down the gangplank and join Harry in the fray, causing the perfect distraction for Uma to get to the Isle entrance.
