This is chapter 7 of book two .  Hope you enjoy ;D 





Day 8 . Morning . England .



Zed's crew is being held as prisoners set for execution which can only be avoided by their captain delivering a map to The Crown . 


King - " Comander Williams .  Are the fleets ready for departure into " Dedmond's Waters " as yet ? 
Williams - " Yes your highness . All ships are ready and waiting your orders Sir " 
King - " Good . I am handing over this operation to you Commander Williams . You will direct the ships as to when and where to attack . Come back successful and you will be rewarded accordingly . That will be all Commander " 
Williams - " Thanks you your majesty . " 



England is preparing to strike at Captain Dedmond . They have a fleet of ten ships ready to set sail into the Dedman's seas .  



Commander Williams - " Lord Herrald . A word with you please . " 
Herrald  - " Yes Commander .  " 
Williams - " The ships . Are they ready for deployment yet ? " 
Herrald - " Yes sir . But shouldn't we be awaiting this Zed person with the secret weapon ? " 
Williams - " He is a pirate . They can't be trusted . I have no intention of dealing with his kind but ... the King believes that he will somehow deliver this weapon to him . If he does not return within 24 hours I will proceed with the invasion . But if he manages then I will follow his lead and wait for him to make one mistake then .... the galloes will be his fate . " 
Herrald - " Ok Commander . But be sure you know what you are doing . 
Williams - " I know exactly what I am doing . I am ridding this world if imperfections . One mangy pirate at a time . " 


Day 8 . Island of the Map . 





Zed and Roger have now found the island on which the map is located . They also notice another ship , docked on the same beach . It did not look ship right . It as old and beaten up . Looked like it had been fired at and struck 20x .  The Captain of this ship was a young fellow named Twinks . 


Captain Zed - " Thats a nice ship you got there um ...... " 
Captain Twinks - " Twinks . The name is Twinks " 
Zed - " Yes . Nothing unusual or abnormal about that . No . Lets just name him Twinks .  And the say I am crazy " 
Twinks - " Your ship does not look too bad either . I would steal ... I mean sale that anyday " 
Zed - " Yes . She is a beauty but she is mine . ........... I have to go venture into the island. Would you mind watching the ship for me ? "
Twinks - " Sure . Why not ? " * Thinks to himself * What an idiot . This guy has a perfectly good ship and wants a Pirate to watch it for him ? I think he wants it to be stolen  " 
Zed - " Thanks Mate . I'll be back to pick it up tommorow " 
Twinks - " Aye . And it will be right here waiting for you " 
Roger - " Love to interrupt here but we have a map to be findinnnah . I suggest we start the journey " 
Zed - " Well lead the way mate . What does the map say ? " 
Roger - " Travel north and we should see a pit . The maps is in therrrrrrah . ONWARD !!! TO THE MAP WE TRAVEL . TO THE WEALTH WE JOURNEY !!! " 





So the two captains and what is left of their crew begin the journey through the island . Roger leads and Zed follows . Until Zed got jealous and wanted to lead and then jumped in front of Roger to take the lead . They continued north as the map said until they appeared in an area with skeletons hanging upside down from trees .  


Zed - " Ohhh . Welll that is not right . Be care full where you tread . You don't want to step into a * Steps into a trap from which he hangs upside down * Trap . Awww seamonkeys .  Ok . Will someone get me down ? " 
Roger - * Withdraws blade and walks towards Zed . * 
Zed - " Wait . Wait . Wait . Wait .  Wait . Let me grab on to something first before you ....... " 
Roger - * Cuts Zed down causing him to fall on his head *
Zed - " Cut me down . Watch put their might be more of those traps around here " 





The crew continued to walk until one by one . The started feeling a it whoosy . And in a matter of seconds  . They all fell to the ground . Turns out that whenever someone sets off a trap another trap ( poison or toxic fumes ) are released . When they all woke up it was night and they had all been tied together around a wooden pole . They could barely see each other due to the lack of light until a torch was struck .  When they got a clear view of where they were it looked like a deep pit . They were all surrounded by  local islanders with the island people look .  They did not speak English  but Zed tried to communicate anyway . 

Zed - " Hello there . My name is Captain Zed . Sure you have heard of me . Now me and my good crew were wondering why we are tied up .  Islander - .................



The only thing the did was stare at the prisoners . Observing the strange new people that had fell into their animal traps .  This continued until The Chief came walking though . The group that surrounded Zed and his crew immediately split in halves , making way for the chief . The chief was slightly chubby and very big .  He then walked back to his thrown and raised his right hand . When he did this four of the islanders took torches up into their right hands and approached the crew .  Then the chief started to speak in his native tongue . He made a speech to which the islanders listened to keenly . When  he was done he raised a piece of paper above his head . The islanders rejoiced and danced around the crew . 

Roger - " I think we are in trouble . Wait . What is that piece of paper in the chief's hand ? " 
Zed - " Well . If I didn't no better I'd say it looks like a map ........ " 
Roger and Zed -  * Look at each other in straight faces * 
Zed - " Ok . We found it . Now how are we going to get it ? " 
Crew member 3 - " Um... Captain ? " 
Zed and Roger - " What ? " 
Crew member 3 - " Look  " 




To their surprise the Islanders were now leaving the pit with the map . When all of them had gathered at the top , Four torches were thrown into the pit . The islanders started to cheer . 

Zed - " Of course " 
Crew member 4 -  " Well I guess this is it . We are done for " 
Roger - " Not necessarily . Zed . My sword holder has no bottom so the sword sticks out ot the bottom . If you kick the bottom of it , my sword will fly up and into my hand . Hurry . We don't have much timemmmmmmah " 



Zed .took three tries before he got it right on the fourth . Roger's sword went right into his hand and he started cutting the vines that bounded the crew . The fire was growing larger and closer to the crew . They were n the cnter of the pit and the fire surrounded them . 

Zed - " Ok . We are free from our shackles now . How do we escape ? " 
Roger - " Lean the pole up against one of the walls . Climb on it . Then use your sword as a sickle to climb out " 
Zed - " What he said " 


So the crew did as was told and were now on their way out of the burning pit until a loaded gun filled with gunpowder fell to the floor . 



Zed - " Uh Oh " 


They all climbed out was fast as possible till only one was left back . When he came out the islanders backed away from the pit and then * Explosion Noises *  A huge explosion sounded and the pit was engulfed in flames .  They narrowly escaped . After the explosion Zed and his crew quickly started to exit the forest .


Zed - * Walks up to chief *
Roger - * Walks up behind chief  *
Chief  - * Puts map behind back to keep it from Zed *
Roger -  * Swipes map *
Chief  - * Turns around to see no one behind him . *   * Then turns back around to see Zed and Roger walking off with the map * 



The crew start their Journey back to the ship .
