Part 4

Back in the bank vault the Nicktoons were still locked in, Tak was laying upside-down on a sack of money, feeling bored at the moment as he yawned tiredly.

Danny stared blankly at nothing until SpongeBob asked, “You feeling any better, Danny?”

“Huh?” Danny asked, shaking his head. “Oh yeah, the hiccupping already stopped and nothing else has happened so far.”

“Yes!” Timmy cheered as he got up from the ground and sat back upward. “Now let’s get back to the story.”

“Hang on, Timmy.” Danny interrupted. “We kinda took a long period pause and I kinda forgot where we left off. Think we can do a quick recap?”

“Hmm…” Jimmy began to ponder. “I seem to recall Timmy leaving off just when Tim Hawkins found out Long Dan Phantom has been deceiving him.”

“That’s right.” Timmy nodded. “Now let’s get back to the story.”

“Wait!” Danny interrupted again.

“What now?!” Timmy shouted annoyed.

“We kinda took a long period pause and I kinda forgot where we left off. Think we can do a quick recap?” The others stared at him in confusion. “What?”

“Uh…Jimmy just told us where we left off.” Tak pointed out.

“No, he didn’t.” Danny said with an odd look.

Timmy just rolled his eyes and said, “So, can I continue the story now?”

“Wait! We kinda took a long period pause and I kinda forgot where we left off. Think we can do a quick recap?”

“Did YOU forget you said that two times already?”

“Hold on, guys!” Jimmy said calming them down. “If my own memory serves, one of the side-effects on that fairy medicine Danny consumed was short-term memory loss.”

SpongeBob screamed in shock. “AAAHH! Danny has amnesia!”

“What?!” Danny yelled as he held his head. “What if I start to forget my whole identity? Okay…I’m Danny Fenton aka Danny Phantom, my best friend is Tucker Foley, my girlfriend is Sam Manson, I’m part of an inter-dimensional group known as the Nicktoons, and…we’re stuck in a safe after getting our butts kicked.” Then he sighed sadly. “Timmy, just continue the story and I’ll figure out where we left off.”

“You got it, dude!” Timmy said with a thumb up. “Who knows? Your short-term memory loss should wear off when I’m done.”

“What?!” Danny suddenly yelled in shock again. “What if I start to forget my whole identity? Okay…I’m-”

“You’re Danny Fenton aka Danny Phantom, blah, blah, blah,” Timmy interrupted. “So anyway… ‘Tim Hawkins had to figure out what to do now that he just heard an evil plan of mutiny.’”

In the story, Timmy hopped out of the barrel and turned to Poof. “We have to warn Tak and James about this or we’ll be in huge trouble.”

He began to run toward the stairs with Poof until he ran into someone. “Dan!”

“Tim!” Danny shouted in surprise. “What are you doing down here?”

“Oh…” Timmy said as he got a glare. “I came down here just now.”

“Really? I didn’t see you come down here a second ago.” Danny coolly said as he hid one hand behind his back and began to charge an ecto-beam.

“Well…that’s because…” but before Timmy could think of what to say, he suddenly pulled out the ecto-blaster Danny gave him and shot the ghost boy with it, blowing him into the wall.

Danny groaned in pain with his eyes closed as Timmy quickly ran over to him and grabbed the map from him. “You’re a lying dirtbag!” he shouted before running upstairs with Poof.

Once Timmy was gone, Danny sat up, groaning in pain as he held his chest and glared angrily.

On deck, Timmy came with Poof from upstairs and ran as fast as he could to find Jimmy and Tak.

Danny struggled to get up stairs also as he clutched his chest and leaned down. “Change of plans, guys!” Danny shouted and soon got a smirk. “Let’s take over this ship NOW!”

The rest of the crew smirked in agreement as they drew various weapons and ran off in different directions.

Timmy and Poof ran into the captain’s quarters and slammed the door behind him, panting in exhaustion. Jimmy and Tak turned to them in confusion.

“Tim, what’s going on?” Jimmy asked.

“Phantom…” Timmy replied, still panting. “Map…pirates…trouble.”

“What about trouble?” Tak asked, still confused.

Timmy shook his head and answered. “Dan and the crew have been duping us all this time! They took the map and are planning to do us in as soon we get to the Island of the Hidden Treasure!”

“Tim, that’s absurd.” Jimmy responded in disbelief as he checked the drawer he put the map in before. “How could they have the map when I stowed it away for safe-keeping?”

“Hello! He has the ability to turn invisible and reach through solid objects!” Timmy said with the map in his hand. “And he also- AAHH!” he shouted when a hands suddenly burst through the glass window and phased through the door, grabbing Timmy in their fists.

“Tim!” Tak shouted as he, Poof, and Jimmy grabbed a hold of Timmy and tried pulling him out of the pirates’ grasp.

Poof then glared and flew over to the arms and started hitting them with his rattle. “Bad! Bad!”

This caused the arms to drop Timmy and pull their arms out of the door. Timmy sighed in relief. “Thanks Poof. Now let’s run!”

Not needing to be told twice, Jimmy, Tak, and Poof followed Timmy out an open window which led to the stern of the ship.

“Where do we go from here?” Timmy asked.

“We have to get off the ship somehow.” Tak added.

Jimmy looked around and smiled. “We can. There’s a longboat over there we can use.” They turned and spotted a small boat at the edge of the ship.

“Let’s go!” Timmy shouted as he followed Tak, Jimmy, and Poof to the boat, but was stopped by a green ecto-beam that fired at his feet.

Timmy turned to see Danny aiming his glowing fist at him. “You’re not going anywhere, Tim; Not anywhere with the map at least.”

Timmy clutched the map in his fist and glared at Danny. “Wanna bet, Phantom? I’m finding the Isle of the Hidden Treasure and you’re not gonna stop me.”

He then ran away while Danny growled in frustration and prepared to fire an ecto-beam straight at Timmy. But before he could fire, the glow suddenly disappeared and Danny lowered his fist as he sighed sadly.

Up on deck, Vlad and the other pirates looked over the edge of the ship to see Jimmy, Timmy, Tak, and Poof in the longboat, rowing away from the ship.

“Sink their boat now!” Vlad ordered.

Tak, Jimmy, and Timmy begin to scream when the pirates on the ship began to fire ecto-beam and various weapons at them in an attempt to stop them from escaping.

“We’ll never be able to escape them!” Tak shouted in panic.

Poof saw what was going on and smiled as he shook his glowing rattle. “Poof, poof, poof!”

Then a motor magically appeared on the back of the boat and the engine roared as he started. Jimmy, Timmy, and Tak were baffled until they started screaming when the boat sped off in a flash.

“Drat.” Crocker said with a frown. “They got away.”

“Now what are we supposed to do.” Plankton asked.

“Find them.” The pirates turn to see Danny standing across the deck. “Follow where they took off and make sure we get there.”

“Are you sure we’d be heading in the same direction, Daniel?” Vlad asked.

“Positive.” Danny easily replied. “They may have the map, but I know exactly where they’re going.”

A few minutes later, the rowboat that Timmy and his friends escaped in had reached an island and had crashed into a palm tree near the shore.

Tak was pacing around, looking nervous. “Alright…we have no ship which means we’re stranded…Yup, we’re doomed.”

“No, we’re not, Tak.” Jimmy said calmly as he approached him. “We just have to keep our heads and eventually we’ll be rescued.”

“What are the odds someone will come and find us?”

Jimmy thought for a second and answered, “14,700, 83 to 1.”

‘Are those the odds of someone coming to rescue US too?’ Tak’s voice asked.

‘Oh, can it, Tak.’ Danny’s voice said in a congested tone. ‘AH-CHOO!’

While Jimmy and Tak argued, Timmy was sitting on the ground with Poof hovering over him as he looked at the map. Then he suddenly smiled and quickly stood up.

“Guys, guys!” Timmy shouted as he ran over to Tak and Jimmy. “We did it! We found the island!”

“We did?” Tak and Jimmy both questioned in confusion.

“Yeah,” Timmy showed them the map. “It’s the exact island where the Hidden Treasure is.”

As Jimmy stared, he began to realize that Timmy was right. “That’s correct. We did manage to locate the island.”

All right!” Tak smiled excitedly. “Those dumb pirates actually chased us to the place they were trying to keep us away from.”

Timmy, Jimmy, and Poof laughed in enjoyment as Tak continued, “That Long Dan Phantom guy probably didn’t think about how far we were from it.”

Timmy laughed again and said, “You got that right. Dan may be dumb, but the dumbest has to be Vlad. He just like Dan, but taller and more creepy.”

Tak, Jimmy, and Poof continued to smile, but then their smiles drop to see someone approach Timmy from behind.

Not noticing anything, Timmy continued, “I mean did you see when he gave me that warning when we met? ‘Watch your back because if you don’t, the crew might just stab it.’ Ha, ha, ha, what a weirdo. Or should I say…fruitloop, ha, ha, ha!”

“Uh…Tim?” Jimmy tried to warn.

“Yeah?” Timmy asked until he noticed the expressions on their faces and his smile immediately dropped. “He’s standing right behind me, isn’t he?”

“Is he?” Vlad said as he grabbed Timmy by the back of his neck and held him up.

Tak, Jimmy, and Poof screamed when Crocker, Technus, and Traloc backed the three into a tree and held swords at them.

“No, don’t hurt them!” Timmy tried to say as he tried to get out of Vlad’s grasp.

“We’ll see about that, cabin boy.” Vlad smirked as he held Timmy’s neck tighter. “After we get that map, we’ll dispose of you.”

“Let him go, Plasmius.” A familiar voice said as Timmy opened one eye to see Danny standing aside.

“Why should I do that? He has the map we need; destroying him will help us achieve it.”

“I said let him go!” Danny shouted angrily. “That’s an order!”

“Fine.” Vlad reluctantly obeyed, releasing his grip on Timmy and having the boy fall to the ground.

Before Timmy could try and sit up, a green glow surrounded Timmy and threw him into a tree. He had a terrified look as he watched Danny use his ghost powers to hold him against the tree and slowly approach him.

“Alright, Tim,” Danny calmly said. “I know you have the map and I don’t wanna hurt you. So, if you give me the map, I can let you and your friends go safely and there won’t be any trouble.”

Timmy turned his eyes to see Jimmy, Tak, and Poof still being held by the pirates at sword-point as they watched Timmy with scared looks on their faces. Then he turned his eyes back to Danny and closed his eyelids.

“Alright, you win!” Timmy cried out. “You can have the map!”

Danny smirked in satisfaction and released Timmy back on the ground slowly. Then Timmy reached into his pocket and pulled out the folded map.

When Danny reached over to take it, Timmy swiftly pulled it out of his reached and then looked at Danny with glaring eyes. “But if you want it, you’re gonna have to take me with you and I don’t want Tak, James, and Poof hurt.”

Danny stayed silent a bit and looked at his crew for a few seconds. Then he turned back to Timmy with the same expression as him as he replied, “Deal.”

The two shook hands in agreement with no one noticing a shadowed figure with a pointed head in the bushes watching them.
