EP.154|If You're the One Protecting Me...Then Who's the One Protecting You

CJ walked on the ominous foggy pier, looking for her father’s ship. Something’s not right...it’s too quiet. CJ slowly reached for the handle of her sword.

Hook’s pirate crew was never quiet, especially today. See, today was the day Hook created his pirate crew, normally there would be a celebration, but nothing.

She got to the ship to see it was silent, completely silent. CJ walked up to the deck, the floor creaking, causing crows to fly out, spooking CJ a bit.

Just birds, chill CJ. she opened the door to the lower deck to see a dim light. She walked forwards, unsheathing her sword when she heard voices “come out! I have a sword and I’m not afraid to use it!” CJ called out.

“Miss CJ?” “Smee?” CJ sheathed her sword. She grabbed a lamp, turning it on, she shined it towards the voice to see the entire crew, beside her mother and father, tied up.

“What the hell happened to you?” CJ began untying the crew. “It’s Pan and them damn lost boys.” Smee said, CJ finally untying him. “Them damn lost boys.” CJ growled.

“How the hell are they here?” CJ asked, untying Darlene. “They came the day the Hero's attacks the Villain Isles.” Darlene said.
“I thought we killed Pan.” CJ muttered. “Apparently not, them dam lost boys are small but they fight hard.” Heather groaned, rubbing her back.

“That’s the lost boys motto.” CJ quickly turned around to see all the lost boys.

“I bet you’re surprised to see us, CJ.” the second in command, Slightly, said smugly. He wore a fox costume and was the tallest of the lost boys.

“I thought I killed you!” CJ yelled, unsheathing her sword, pointing it at the lost boys.

“Yeah!” Nibs agreed, he wore rabbit costume. I forgot, he’s the one who doesn't talk much. CJ sighed.

“Pan was right,” one of the twins, Marmaduke, circled around CJ “you really are like your dad” the other twin, Binky, finished his sentence.

Bink reached for CJ’s sword “back off, twins! No lost boy hands on my sword!” CJ yelled. “You can't tell us what to do!” Chubby, the toughest of them all, scolded, he had bear costume on.

“Give us the sword!” the smallest one, Tootles, wrote on his white board, he wore a skunk costume.

“Hell no! Get out of here before I turn you all into particles of dust!” CJ warned, the lost boys began laughing. “CJ, we’re not scared of you.” Slightly laughed.

“You should be,” CJ’s sword turned into a dusk disk, she threw it at Nibs, almost hitting his head “tell me where my parents are at, or I cute all of you.” CJ created balls of dust around the Lost Boys.

“Do you remember what Carlos did to Philip,” the Lost Boy’s faces turned pale “see, I can do the same thing to you, if I wanted to, but I don't wanna go to jail. It’s not fun. So, either you tell me where my parents are, or I cut you.”

Tootles began writing on his white board “Tootles! Don't you dare tell her!” Chubby scolded. Tootles turned the white board around for it to read “below us.”

CJ released them from the bubbles “thank you Tootles,” CJ kissed Tootles forehead “make sure they don't leave.” CJ called out, leaving the lower deck and walking downstairs to the bottom deck.

Her father and mother were tied to the wall, bleeding and bruised “mom! Dad!” CJ turned on the light, running towards them. “Hey, dad, come wake up.” CJ shook her father, Hook lazily opened his eyes.

“CJ…” Hook muttered. “Yeah dad, it’s me.” CJ said, trying to break the chains, but they wouldn't budged. “How the hell did you end up like this?” CJ asked. “Pan…” Acadia muttered.

“Wha-” but before she could answer, someone pinned her to the wall. “CJ, how long has it been?” Pan smirked.

“Not long enough.” CJ growled, she pushed Pan off of her. Pan then noticed her sword “I see you still have your sword.”

“I see you’re still a child in a man’s body.” CJ smirked. “Where’s dog boy?” Pan asked, referring to Carlos. “You don't need to know.” CJ stuck out her tongue.

“Look, just make it easy for me, and give me the sword.” Pan held out his hand. “Fine,” CJ walked up to him, she slowly cut the palm of his hand “AGH!” Pan yelled in pain.

“You’re gonna pay for that,” Pan unsheathed his sword, he stomped on the ground, changing the scenery from a ship to a wooden bridge over a foggy river.

The two sword users bring their blades out and clash with each other. Pan went on the offensive as CJ countered his every move.

CJ then tried stabbing forward as Pan blocks her blade from multiple angles before slashing forward, which CJ leaping backward to dodge. Their clash resulted in part of the bridge's rope getting cut.

Pan dashed forward and slashed vertically. CJ blocked the attack, which split apart her hat and causes it to fall off the bridge “you broke...MY HAT!!!”

Now in a rage, she pushed forward with her katana. Pan leaped in the air and managed to blind his opponent by tossing pixie dust in CJ’s eyes.

He lands behind CJ and lunged forward, but CJ dodged the attack thanks to her ability to fight blind. I guess those blindfold sword fighting lessons did pay off. CJ smirked.

Pan was surprised as CJ prepared her battle stance. He ran forward and slashed in different directions as CJ dodges the blade and blocks it with her katana.

CJ then went after Pan and slashed in diagonal patterns, unwittingly cutting more of the bridge's ropes.

CJ regained her eyesight and is shocked when she saw the bridge's condition before turning around and seeing Pan purposefully cut the last of the bridge's support.

The bridge tilted downward causing CJ to fall off as Pan held onto the supporting rope.

He leaped up and stood on the rope as CJ managed to perform a high jump from the bottom ground back in front of Pan, surprising the head Lost Boy.

“Huh, you jump good.” Pan complimented. CJ, bashuffly, scratched behind her neck “oh, um...thank you-” 

Pan tries stabbing his opponent again and went on the offensive on the ropes, slashing CJ in different directions.

The wounded CJ threw off the top half of her skirt and angrily stared down Pan as her ponytail comes undone, letting her hair flow freely.

With one slash she placed a deep cut in Pan, who takes off his shirt after grunting in pain.

Pan managed to disarm CJ, causing the time-displaced warrior to drop her sword down the cliff. CJ avoided Pan’s next attack and kicked her opponent's blade upward.

When Pan’s sword came down, it slices the remaining support of the bridge, causing CJ to fall down yelling as Pan grabbed his blade and holds onto the end of the severed rope to swing backward.

CJ painfully awakened at the bottom of the waterfall and sees Pan’s reflection. Pan plummeted downward to deliver the final blow.

CJ grabbed her katana and carefully prepared to counter. Both engaged in one final slice to determine the victor.

CJ’s right arm was cut off and falls into the lake, causing her to scream.

Meanwhile, back at Cruella’s cottage, Carlos perked up when he heard CJ scream “CJ…” he muttered.

He heard his mom chuckling “go to her. She needs you.” Carlos looked at his injured parents in concern “don't worry, we’ll be okay.”

Carlos turned into a wolf and began running towards the deck to see Pan and CJ still fighting, the fog became thicker and soon Pan and CJ disappeared.

“CJ, where are you?!” Carlos frantically looked around “CJ!” suddenly, a holographic version of Pan approached Carlos. He back away “you wouldn't have happened to see CJ would you?”

The Holo-Pan raised his sword, eyes reddening “unregistered combatant detected!” CJ then emerged from the fog, impaling Holo-Pan, quickly dissipating as the saber falls to the ground.

“CJ!” Carlos smiled. “Carlos? What are you doing here?” Carlos ran towards her “CJ, let me help you, I don't want you to do this alone!”

CJ shook her head “No, Carlos, this is my fight! I need to do this on my own. I’m a Pirate Princess, meaning that I can do things on my own! I don't need your help!”

“No! It’s normal to ask for help! CJ, you don't need to do everything by yourself. That’s why I’m here, I wanna help you carry the load.” Carlos pleaded.

“Carlos...I’m doing this for you!” another Holo-Pan attacked, CJ countered and impaled it “I need to be able to protect you!”

“But if you’re precting me,” Smee tossed Carlos a shield, countering another Holo-Pan’s attack “then who’s the one protecting you?!”

“Someday soon, we’ll be fighting Araden, and when that day comes, I want to fight with you, together! So please,” four Holo-Pans appeared on all sides, advancing on the two “won’t you let me kill this Lost Boy with you.”

“Those are the 10 beautiful words that every girl wants to hear,” CJ grabbed Carlos’ hand. All four Holo-Pans leapt up and landed on Carlos’ shield “this is much easier.”

“That’s my girl.” Carlos smiled, kissing her cheek, CJ formed a bubble around them and pushed the Holo-Pans off her shield, causing all four Holo-Pans to shatter.

“No matter what happens, we do it together.” Carlos kissed her hand. “Well, well, well, look who finally showed up. Did me cutting of your arm hurt that bad that you had to call your little dog boy.” Pan chuckled.

“So, you did that to her?!” Carlos’ eyes turned red. CJ rested her hand on his shoulder “he’s not worth it.” Carlos’ eyes turned back to normal.

“Carlos, leave! CJ needs to fight me by herself.” Pan smirked, taunting CJ. “Why?! We’re a team. She’s my Pirate Princess.” Carlos held her hand “and he’s my dog boy.” CJ tightened her grip around his hand.

“And we’re gonna kick your ass!”

Carlos and CJ charged towards Pan. CJ engaged in a small bout with Pan. When Pan found the opportunity to attack, CJ turned to reveal Carlos in his wolf form, biting Pan’s sword, blocking it trajectory.

CJ slid under Pan’s legs, impaling Pan with her sword, CJ smiled, dropping to her knees “CJ! Hey! You okay?” Carlos stood over her. “I’m good, I can't feel my right arm...but I’m good.” CJ’s vision was hazy.

Carlos picked up CJ and smiled “don't worry CJ, together, we’ll keep each other safe.”

~A/N~

Hey guys! Holy crap it's hot outside! It's like 90° where I'm at!

Anyways, so I went to target and saw a book called Mother Knows Best. I think it's about Mother Gothel's past!

Like, if someone already has the idea for the Villains back story then what's the point of me doing it?

But, I saw that nobody has done Cruella's back story! And I wanna be the first!

Who cares if someone did backstory for them already! I bet I can make a better one!

I like doing the back stories, it's a lot of fun! So yeah! Long live villains man!

Stay Sweet,
