Inside the depths of this vile place, we were in great spirits as we marched to meet our fate.
The Sheriff and Ranger of the Chest were to be reckoned with, to be sure, but they had met their match with us.
And it seemed they were worried as they had laid out traps to prevent us from reaching them.
Still the size of a child’s plaything, this path would be treacherous but we would prevail!
Sail Ho Me Hearties!
A strange vehicle was erected with which to blast us off to parts unknown.
Not to be denied, the Pirate Princess was the first to check it out.
After disabling the controls and making sure it was safe for the crew, others joined her in search of some loose doubloons.
Of course, there were none to be found and we wandered further on the marked path in search of our foes.
The next trap had us moving through a sea of green alien creatures;
all the while avoiding a giant claw meant to seal our fates and send us to Davy Jones’ Locker.
The First Mate was not deterred however, and made it through triumphantly!
Little X, on the other hand, was almost lost to us as the green creatures engulfed him and would not let go.
It took all of the crew’s might to pull him to safety.
Avast, me hearties – be alert in the Crow’s Nest – there be trouble ahead.
And trouble there be!
Before we knew it, the First Mate and X were captured by the dread Pirate Sid!
It seemed they were destined to walk the plank.
But the evil Sid would not be content with just the plank – he wanted pure destruction.
He quickly grabbed X and strapped him to an ancient Chinese Pirate Lord’s explosion device!
Shiver me timbers! We had to act fast.
Avast that rocket before it explodes taking our littlest crewman with it!
Heave Ho me hearties!
With seconds to spare, we released our crewman only to come face to face with another evil foe!
The Demon Zurg was lying in wait armed with a rifle of sorts and he was targeting our First Mate!
Once again, the crew sprang to action knocking him aside and saving his life.
Cautiously, we pressed on.
The next ambush waiting for us was devious indeed.
Before we could relish our victory over the Demon Lord Zurg, the Pirate Princess and X were trapped!
Packaged neatly along with Stinky Pete the Prospector, our crewmates were stuck indeed.
The First Mate flew into action cutting them loose with some fancy sword work.
However, the swashbuckler only succeeded so far as with their release, for he was caught in the same snare.
This time it was up to me as I wrangled him loose.
Heaving deep breaths, we took stock of our surroundings.
It seems we had entered the Sheriff’s trophy room.
Homages to his exploits and the villains he’s captured over the years lined the walls.
Mark me words – we shall not be added to this list!
Next we found his place of business.
The Sheriff’s office itself.
Teasing the constable, we took turns posing in front of it – mocking him.
First the Pirate Princess with X:
And then the First Mate
Next stop on the path led us to a box.
We thought this may be yet another trap but needed to explore.
X and the Pirate Princess jumped in first and looked around but found no booty.
Our First Mate did a cursory check as well but to no avail
Scrolling the area, I found some of the cohorts of the Sheriff and the Ranger hiding above.
They would not be catching us!
Then we rounded a corner and came face to face with one of our arch enemies.
While the Sheriff was nowhere to be found, the Ranger was there standing on Andy’s Bed waiting for us!
Buzz Lightyear was the Ranger’s name and he first attacked our Pirate Princess.
Next, he turned his attention to the First Mate!
I soon arrived with little X in tow.
X was intrigued by the buttons that adorned the Ranger’s futuristic armour.
But X would not take his eyes off the Ranger fearing some deadly trick.
He even antagonized the Ranger poking at his face and egging him on!
And finally they both called out to the Maiden at once pointing straight at her!
After a quick distraction by our Maiden, we bolted for the door and out into the open.
However, our trials were not complete.
What was waiting for us outside?
Stay aboard mateys for magical mists and engine roars that bring little X to tears!
Oh well there's always next time !
