The sun came creeping in as bodies began to stir about on the sand. it was mid morning and it was hot. As everyone began to walk away from the wreckage they looked around. they were on an island. around the shore there were rocks of many sizes and 20 feet from the coast line there was a line of dense jungle, which reaches all the way to the bottom of a single mountain standing jagged in the middle of the island, next to that mountain was a small hill with something in the middle of it, but it was too far to judge exactly from this distance.
One by one the survivors struggled from the wreckage and got to a big rock just about halfway from the water to the trees. "what had happened?" thinlomien asked as Nogrod began trying to empty his head of water. "must have been one heck of a storm... but for some reason that isn't troubling me" Legate stated as he walked up to the group. "then it wasn't just me that heard that... i wonder what it was all about" Brinniel said asking around. Macalaure then blurted out loud "hey! wheres the captain!?" everyone began looking around, but they did not see El Gil anywhere. "alright everyone is here, lets look for Gil, hopefully he washed up on shore with the rest of us too" Shastanis Althreduin said to the agreeing nods of the survivors.
As everyone began looking around, Susielooked over and saw Peeko standing on the other side of a piece of the boat. Susieran around and eyes widen with horror. "i found him!" Susieyelled as she remained motionless. Xyzzy was the first to reach Susieand he too remained shocked. everyone came up and each of them saw the horror.
Upon the bow of the S.S. Mr.Adventure, there was El Gil pinned on it with the Bowmast sticking through his chest and Peeko on his shoulder.
"bawk. no you henchman bawk!" Peeko squacked.
"Hey listen to that bird!" Meneltarmacil said.
"bawk! the super science doctor will survive! bawk!"
"what is that bird talking about?" Nogrod stated but was quickly hushed by everyone else so they can listen to the bird.
"bawk! secret bodyguard will protect and revenge. bawk!"
the survivors began staring at the bird as it continued its rant
"Bawk! villain about. but no knows henchman! Peeko knows! Peeko knows! Bawk!"
"am i hearing that bird right? this was murder and we have the murderers with us right now!?" Legate said to the survivors
"Thats what the bird is saying... but what can we do to protect us incase we are killed again?" macalaure asked puzzling.
"well i guess we got to decide amongst ourselves and choose who we each think is one of these henchman and villain!" legate said after a period of silence. everyone looked at Legate awkwardly.
"...what? oh don't worry my comrades i love open ideas!" legate quickly responded after understanding there confusion.
"then i guess we will make a vote at the end of every day and decide who lives or dies... so that we can avenge the captains death." Brinniel stated and every nodded with agreement, though most reluctantly.
"bawk! rescue comes! who survives? Peeko knows! bawk!" Peeko squacked out as it began to fly high above the island and the everyone began to head inland towards the island.
