Chapter 2 - CHAPTER TWO: Wontonland

Another few hours went by and Jeannie opened her eyes again. She looked around to see the rest of her crew all tied up like prisoners. Wait, they are prisoners!

"Yo…Captain…" A voice spoke silently next to her.

"Uwa! Wait-Aaron?! Oh, it's you, what happened to you guys?" Jeannie asked.

"Apparently, we're all tied up and Noah, Leeann, and Nicole aren't awake yet," Aaron replied.

"Seriously? We need to make a plan to get out of here!" Jeannie said.

"Well, how?"

Jeannie checked her surroundings. It's very dark and only five candles were lit up. The prison even smells bad. "I don't know!"

"SILENCE!" A voice bellowed.

Jeannie and Aaron turned our heads towards the voice. A man with silver armor walked down the stairs as his silver shoes goes CLANK CLANK against the floor.

The man looked aggressive and scary and in his hands, a wonton?! Scratch out aggressive and scary off the list of that guy, he has a wonton on his plate!

"Why is there a wonton there..?" Aaron questioned himself.

"Greetings, fellow pirates, I am King Wondi, the ruler of Wontonland," Wondi said.

"Uh, okay…" Jeannie and Aaron spoke at the same time with an eyebrow shifted up.

Then Aaron began to laugh. "You serious?! King of wontons?! You've got to be kidding me! My gosh, this is so hilarious!"

TWACK! A soldier next to Wondi whacked a cylinder-shaped wood on Aaron. "Ow! What was that for?!" Aaron shouted.

"HOW DARE YOU LAUGH AT THE MAJESTY?!" Wondi bellowed, causing Nicole, Noah, and Leeann to wake up.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, what in the world is going on?! Why am I chained up?!" Leeann questioned with a panic tone.

"Seems like the others have awake! Guards! Bring me the sacred wonton!" Wondi ordered.

"Yes sir!" The guards next to Wondi answered and stomped back upstairs to fetch the so-called sacred wonton.

One minute later, the guards returned with something very shiny and smells nice?! The Saqua crew oohed-and-ahhed the shiny object on one of the guard's hands.

"This!" Wondi shouted, grabbing the object, "Is! The sacred wonton!"

The aura of the Saqua crew turned negative and the excitement of seeing the shiny object died down due to the result of the shiny object. The members began coughing. "That's the wonton?! What the heck!" Noah snapped.

"SILENCE! This wonton isn't just an ordinary wonton!" Wondi began.

"Yes, yes, we know, it's the 'sacred wonton' that is so shiny. Wow, so great…" Nicole said with a boring tone.

"Wow, it's indeed fancy…" Leeann spoke with a British accent.

Wondi stomped his right foot against the concrete floor. His silver boots went CLANK as he stomped. "AHEM!"

"Eek!" The whole Saqua crew shivered.

"Now, listen to me! You pirates are here to STEAL my sacred wonton! Am I right?!" Wondi inquired with a pissed expression.

"What?! No! We got caught in a storm and had a shipwreck!" Jeannie answered.

"It was just your imagination that we would steal it!" Aaron said.

"Oh really? Then, who sent you out to the ocean? Hm?" Wondi asked.

Noah smirked. "What? We're pirates duh! Of course we have to go out to the ocean to…"

Wondi shifted his eyebrow. "To..?"

"Steal…stuff… Dang it!" Noah hissed.

Wondi smirked. "Exactly! Now, what should I do with you guys? Should I execute you bastards like those other pirates who tried to steal from me?"

"Eek!" The Saqua crew gulped.

"Um! Please don't!" Leeann shouted.

"Then… Do a favor for me! Go to the land of dumplings and steal the sacred dumpling from the Dumpling Village!" Wonton bellowed.

"Are you kidding me?! First, there's a sacred wonton, now there's a sacred dumpling?!" Aaron yelled.

"Well, you bastards do want to leave right?" Wondi said.

"He's right…Captain should we accept?" Noah asked.

"Yes, I believe we have to. I don't want to be chained up here forever. We're pirates! We deserve to have our freedom! You! Wondi! We will accept your favor!" Jeannie shouted.

"Very well, don't disappoint me… Guards! Release them and you will have three days to steal that dumpling, do you understand?" Wondi stated.

"What?! Three days?!" Jeannie thought. "Well… Heh, we'll see about that."

The guards released the crew. The members retrieved their items and set sail for the Dumpling Village in one of Wondi's ship.

"Don't worry Wondi! We'll get that dumpling!" Nicole shouted. What Wondi didn't know, the Saqua crew had their fingers crossed.

Jeannie smirked evilly and held onto a grenade from a bag she secretly smuggled while the members were grabbing their items.

"Hey! Do you know what I do in hopeless situations?" Jeannie shouted while tossing the grenade around her hands. Then she threw it towards Wondi and his guards.

Wondi and his guards ran and dodged the grenade. "Y-you bastards! How dare you trick me?!" Wondi bellowed.

"Hah! We're pirates! You're supposed to expect us deceiving you! Good luck, crazy old man!" Leeann shouted. The Saqua crew laughed and the ship began sailing further.

Then the Saqua crew pointed their middle fingers in the air. "Hahahahaha! Screw you!"

Wondi became mighty red. So red that he was red like a tomato. "GUARDS! FETCH ALL OF MY SOLDIERS! WE'RE GOING AFTER THEM!"

"Well, we have escaped. Should we go to the Dumpling Village then? They sound more peaceful than that crazy guy's land," Leeann said, climbing up the ladder so she can reach the rope.

Nicole looked around, the ocean was big. No wonder if any storm hit, it'll eat them up like a hungry shark or a lion. It was also foggy so it was hard for her to look.

Noah continued steering the ship. He also found it difficult to navigate. He just continued steering the direction where the wind was taking them.

"Look! I see an island!" Aaron shouted.

"Really? That's great!" Jeannie replied cheerfully. The crew reached the island and all of a sudden a huge wave tipped over the whole ship! The Saqua crew fell into the ocean and all they see is total darkness.
