Pirate101 Fanfic Story Chapter 26

Looking for Clark

The blazing sun rose from the east in an amber setting and the rays seeped into the Saloon, waking up Queen Gummy, who is curled up near the window. She yawned and stretched herself awake before she went over to the bed and prodded her master awake, who is still sleeping and Bonnie holding him in her arms. Queen Gummy rolled her eyes and hopped off the bed and grabbed a metal jug, then she filled it with water (as you viewers had read her actions in previous chapters, she's a smart pet) and went back to the bed, careful not to drop a gram of it and poured it over Danny's head, waking him up and sputtering as Bonnie woke up with a start and so does Chantal; all drenched in cold water from head to torso. Danny then looked at Queen Gummy and said simply in a plain tone "Morning, Gum Gum." Queen Gummy snickered and curled up on Danny's lap, who gently petted her and smiling, as Bonnie swept a fringe from her eyes and said "Did she just pour a jug full of cold water on us?" Danny smiled more broadly and nodded in confirmation, which Chantal replied "Well, she's a cheeky little pet at that." Danny then replied, not taking his eyes off Queen Gummy "She certainly is, aren't you?" Danny then tickled Queen Gummy's belly with his index finger, making her laugh on her back uncontrollably with her feet and tail swinging wildly. Danny smiled for a moment until he gave a sudden shiver and went to the bathroom with his equipment and new pair of day clothing; he then ran the tap and filled the bathtub with warm water and soap before turning it off when it was full and stripped down to his boxers and sighed in relief as he slipped into the warm water. The bathroom door opened and Danny turned his head to see Bonnie Anne coming in with her drenched corset in her hand; she then said "Sorry to disturb you Cappie, I just gotta change corsets…" Danny nodded slightly and leaned his head backwards, closing his eyes in peace as Bonnie gave a curious look and then slyly smiled as she closed the Bathroom door and took off her skirt and t-shirt, leaving on the bra and undergarments and went into the bath with Danny. Danny then laughed in amusement and only said "Bonnie… Please…" but Bonnie ignored it and hugged Danny with her head on his shoulder. Danny then thought "Ah, what the hey!" and stroked Bonnie's wet, furry back gently, making her growl softly and appreciatively, her eyes looking at Danny and said softly "Cappie…" Danny replied "Bon Bon…" They then switched positions and Danny is now on top of Bonnie and they both cuddled together in the bath, both smiling sweetly before Danny got up and said "I'm warm enough…" Bonnie them smiled calmly and they went out of the Bathtub to get dressed.

10 minutes later, Danny and the crew exited the Saloon and went over to the Sheriff's Office to talk to either the Sheriff or the Deputy where Christopher Clark is, but the Deputy by the name of Fowler explained he just transferred from Tumbleweed, but he expects Miss Jane at the Saloon will steer them in the right direction. They then went back to the Saloon and they went over to Miss Jane (after being pointed out by one the waitresses from last night) and asked them where they can find Christopher Clark. Miss Jane then replied "Well, you'd best get a shovel. He's done dead and buried, he is. Don't fret though, he has a son by the name of Merriweather. He lives here in Cooper's Roost; just exit the Saloon through the front, turn left at the blacksmith, go over the stone bridge until you're on the bluff. His house is right in front of you at that point." Danny tilted his hat in thanks and he and his crew followed the directions gave by Miss Jane and they saw a note on the front door of Merriweather's House. (Not at Home. Please direct any inquiries to Doctor Elmore Coop, Cooper's Roost. – Merriweather Clark.) Ratbeard then said suddenly "We passed a Doctor's Office when we arrived last night. Doctor Coop must be in there." Danny and his crew then went over to the town square and spotted the Doctor's Office next to the Post Office; Danny then knocked on the front door and an elderly voice rang inside "Come in, come in." Danny and his crew then entered the office and saw Doctor Elmore Coop and what looks to be the Sheriff inside; Doctor Coop then said "You fellas don't look sick…" Danny then said "We're looking for Merriweather Clark." Doctor Coop then replied "Ah I see… Well I've known that lad all my life, always absentminded and taking weather readings… Last I've heard from him, he's visiting his friend in eastern Arroyo Grande named Murgatroyd. I hope nothing bad has happened to him… If you could find him, can you bring him home? I'd very much appreciate it." Danny smiled and replied "Of course Doctor. Me and my Crew can get Merriweather back for you." Danny and his crew then exited the Doctor's Office and went down the stairs to the docks, when Danny decided to buy a new ship and bought a Bison vessel from a Buffalo Tribesman merchant, as well as sails, horn, figurehead, rudder and armor. He then puts his Monquistan vessel into the bottle and got out the Bison Vessel, which Ratbeard let out a "Yar har!" They then boarded the Bison vessel and followed the Skylanes north-east to Arroyo Grande and docked underneath it; Danny, Ratbeard, Bonnie and Old Scratch then got off and went up an elevator to the upper level and asked a passing citizen where they can find Murgatroyd; the passerby happens to be Murgatroyd himself and asked "How can I help?" Danny then asked him where they can find Merriweather and Murgatroyd replied "Ah, well he was off to Big Sky Country, but was stopping at the Bison Burial Ground near Cooper's Roost. He's probably still there." Danny tilted his hat and thanked Murgatroyd before heading to the ship, muttering under his breath "Hoo boy, a Burial Ground… That's not good." Danny then docked off the pier and sailed to the Bison Burial Ground, thinking if he's going to encounter more undead enemies, when he docked near the Burial Grounds and got off with Gaspard, Wing and Scratch, as well as his loyal Orchid Chameleon, Queen Gummy; they then heard a woman screaming in the nearby cave and Wing exclaimed "Into the Cave!" Danny didn't need telling twice, he and the others bolted into the cave and saw a Nurse being cornered by Bison Spirits (I honestly don't recall if they have spectral dogs with them as well, so help me out, guys). Danny then shouted "Hey!" The Spirit Bisons turned and looked venomously at Danny and they charged at him, when Gaspard jumped over Danny and slammed his Halberd into the ground, putting up a wave of dust against the Bison Spirits and blinding them momentarily before they wiped off the dust to see a black skull standing between them and Danny's Group, intimidating them at the size of it; Old Scratch in canting the spell and thrusted his wand toward the hostile Bison Spirits, gaping it's jaw wide and slammed them into the ground, dissipating them as well. Then, a second group of Bison Spirits emerged from the ground and charged at them again; however, their blind rage had made them not notice Danny sending a group of bear traps in front of them and they were caught off guard when they triggered them, letting Danny getting a boost in the air by Wing and shot down a volley of sparks down on them, taking them out of the fight. The Nurse witnessed their combat tactics and decided to help them against the last group, led by a nasty Bison Shaman Spirit. The Bison Shaman casted a skeletal hand at Danny and crippled his movement (not physically though), which Queen Gummy glared strongly venomously at the Bison Shaman and spun Gaspard to the effect he made (unintentionally) a vortex and shot towards the angry Bison Spirits with his Halberd sticking out, yelling defiantly and knocking them down without a hassle. As Gaspard stopped, he twirled his Halberd in success and bowed with his hat as the Nurse healed Danny to full health. Danny then thanked the nurse and asked her where they can find Merriweather, which she responded glumly "Oh, it's horrible. A Bison Tribe took him to their encampment at Elder Bluff in Big Sky Skyway because they believe he took something from them; he didn't steal anything, I swear it! Please, you must get him back!" Danny then said "Ma'am, we'll get him back, don't you worry about it." Danny, along with Wing, Gaspard, Old Scratch and Queen Gummy, went back to the Bison Ship and sailed to Big Sky Skyway to rescue Merriweather; Bonnie looked concerned as she noticed a scratch mark on Danny's cheek and asked him if he's alright, which he replied with honesty "I got hit by a spell from an angry Bison Shaman Spirit when me, Wing, Gaspard, Old Scratch and Queen Gummy were in the cave. The nurse healed me up and directed us where Merriweather is." Bonnie puts her hands on her hips and said sternly "Well, she missed a bit…" Danny then asked curiously "Oh? Where?" Bonnie them smiled slyly and kissed his cheek gently, before backing off and replied "Right there." Danny blushed a little and looked down, feeling flattered, when he noticed the Bison encampment and docked at the port side; as he, Bonnie, Old Scratch and Ratbeard got on the dock, a Bison bellowed "You are not welcome here, hornless ones! Do you think you are worthy to stand with the Big Sky Hunters? We'll see… our chief will decide your fate… face him in that tent over there… and mind the fire, we've just stoked it hot." Danny didn't even explain himself, but seeing the expression on Lightning Eyes, he decided better to just do what he says. He and the others entered the large tent and battled against some Bisons, which were easily dispatched with Danny rebounding Bonnie's shots at them. The tribe's shaman then entered the tent and battled Danny and his group, along with Bison Warriors; the Bison Shaman then swung an energy ball at Danny, who deflected it with his shield and did some trick shots against the Bison Warriors, before he boosted Ratbeard forward with his blade thrusted forward and the latter flurried against the Shaman and Bonnie finished him off with Old Scratch by combining their attacks to form a darting draconic spirit towards the shaman, knocking him out with heavy damage. A Bison named Shadow of the Moon then halted the fighting and noted Danny's bravery, honor and skill and felt a destiny within him; he then lets Danny speak to the Chief named Seven Storms. Danny then kneeled honorably in front of Chief Seven Storms and said "Oh honourable Chief, me and my crew wanted someone by the name of Clark; we've been informed he's been taken by your people and I wish to inquire what the problem is and hope to resolve it." Seven Storms rubbed his chin and replied in a deep voice "The Claw Foot stole some Sacred Charms from my people's sacred ground and my forefathers will be pleased with his death… but since you wish to resolve the problem in his place, I ask you to recover the Sacred Charms he had taken. You may speak to him before you go." Danny then nodded and stood up before walking to the cage where Merriweather is and he said "Please, help me out of this!"

(Alright fellow readers, this is far in the story as I got for now. Do not fret though, I'll continue it and I'd appreciate your patience. Have a nice day/evening.)
