A Disney Crossover Fanfiction (Treasure Planet, Alice in Wonderland) |
| Silver followed Jim and Alice into the portal quickly, putting his arm out to stop them as he stepped ahead. The pirates and BEN came next…but they all stopped and gaped as they took in what they were looking at. They were on a globe-shaped mound of what had looked like metal, but as Alice looked closer, she could see jewels, and a sea of gold coins like sand on the seashore, stretching out as far as they could see. “Oh, my heavens,” she breathed, putting her hands over her mouth. “The loot of a thousand worlds,” Jim noted breathlessly beside her. “This is all seeming…very familiar,” BEN noted as he came to stand beside them. His electronic yellow eyes looked distraught. “I can’t remember why.” “BEN. Alice. Come on.” Jim jerked his head, keeping his voice low. “We’re getting out of here, and we’re not leaving empty-handed.” He hurried off through the golden sea of coins, tugging Alice behind him. Alice noted what he’d seen—a small ship, abandoned in the piles of jewels and trinkets, its sailed tattered and torn. “But—but Jimmy!” BEN protested. He hurried to catch up. “Wait up, Al!” Jim leapt up, then helped Alice up into the boat and turned to help BEN. Alice pulled up on the side of the boat to stand, then let out a startled scream and collapsed back on her bottom. “What? What’s wrong?” BEN and Jim both whirled toward her, then saw what she had been looking at—a desiccated, monstrous skeleton, clothed in pirate’s garb, sitting atop a throne made of gold doubloons. “Captain Flint?” Jim breathed. “In the flesh,” BEN added with a grim expression. “I mean, sort of, except for skin, organs, or anything else that resembles flesh.” “Dear me,” Alice sighed. “My poor heart can’t take much more frightening.” Jim crept up the pile of gold, examining Flint’s skeleton. “It’s so odd, you know?” BEN tapped insistently at his metal head. “I remember there was something horrible Flint didn’t want anyone else to know, but…I just can’t remember what it was.” He collapsed against Alice and wailed, “Oh, a mind is a terrible thing to lose!” Alice patted his metallic back. “Oh, you poor dear.” “At least someone understands.” BEN hugged her tight and sobbed a bit. “BEN.” Jim snapped open the skeleton’s hand and came back with a small metal piece with wires sticking out of it. “I think I just found your mind.” He grabbed hold of BEN’s head and connected the piece to the hole in the back of his head. “Jimmy!” Yelped BEN. “Your hands are very, very cold—WHOA!” His yellow eyes flashed blue as the piece snapped back into place. “You know, Jimmy, I was just thinking…” Alice and Jim exchanged grins as BEN’s eyes widened. “I was just thinking! Oh, this is fantastic! It’s all coming back! All my memories!” “Excellent!” Alice clapped her hands together. “Right up until Flint pulled out my memory circuit so I could never tell anyone about his BOOBY TRAP!” He yelled the last two words, and Alice flinched, then glanced at Jim in alarm. As if on cue, several explosions detonated overhead, and they stared up in terror as plumes of flame erupted from the lasers moving high above them. “Flint wanted to make sure that nobody could ever steal his treasure," Ben explained. "So he rigged this whole planet to blow higher than a Calypsian kite!” As he spoke, one of the lasers plummeted down into the treasure a few hundred yards away. “Oh, dear, oh dear,” Alice muttered. “It can’t get much worse, can it?” “Run, Jimmy!” BEN tugged on Jim’s arm. “Run, Al! Run for your life!” “You go back and help the captain and Doc.” He pushed Alice with BEN, towards the edge of the boat, then slid under the ship’s control panel. “If I’m not back in five minutes, leave without me.” “Oh, no you don’t!” Alice tugged at Jim’s feet. “I am not leaving my buddy Jimmy!” BEN concurred. He pulled Jim out, who held two sparking wires between his hands, glaring at them both with a storm in his blue eyes. “Unless he looks at me like that,” BEN relented. He dropped Jim’s feet, then grabbed Alice’s arm. “Bye, Jim!” “No!” Alice jerked away. “You go on. I’m staying.” BEN saluted her. “I’ll miss you, Al!” He gave a little sobbing sound and jumped from the side of the boat. “Alice!” Jim yelled, his voice muffled by the console. “Go!” Alice pulled out her notebook and sat beside him. “I said I would follow you to the ends of the galaxy and back,” she told him matter-of-factly. “I meant it.” Jim sighed, but his hands were busily working on the console. “Write this down, then. Two blue, one red.” Alice jotted it down. “Got it.” “Hand me two of those coins.” Alice obeyed, and she heard a swift striking sound, then saw a little flame. She peered under and realized he was melting two wires together. “Tell me again—how many reds?” “One,” Alice replied. The lights on the console winked, then brightened fully to life, and Alice heard the tell-tale whirring of the engine warming up. “You did it!” Alice cheered. “You helped.” Jim leapt up as another explosion rocked the air over their heads, then frantically punched the buttons on the console. The ship began to hover off the ground, and Morph, who’d been hiding under Alice’s hair, leapt out and whirled around their heads, cheering. “Now all that’s left to do is get the heck out of here.” Jim turned the wheel, aiming them for the glowing green door. Alice threw her arms around his neck and kissed his cheek. “Oh, I’ve never been so happy.” Jim’s eyes widened in surprise, and he gave her a lopsided grin. “Don’t thank me just yet, Miss Tea Cozy. We kind of have to survive first.” “Right.” Alice stepped away shyly, rubbing her arm. “Well, Jimbo.” They both whirled. Silver stepped toward them, near the mast, his cyborg eye fixed on them. “Aren’t you just the seventh wonder of the universe?” “Get. Back.” Jim pulled Alice behind him, then reached for Flint’s sword and swung it out as Silver advanced toward the helm. Silver glanced down at the sword aimed at his belly. He closed his eyes. When he looked up at them, his expression had turned to stone. “I like you both,” he growled low. “But I’ve come too far to let you stand between me and my treasure.” Jim’s blue eyes widened in terror as Silver stepped closer. Alice peered beyond Silver and noticed a laser about to fire…and they were headed right into its path. “Look out!” She cried. Silver and Jim both turned, but it was too late. The laser fired into the stern of the ship. The deck rocked, then churned. Alice flew into the side of the ship, barely avoiding being thrown overboard. Silver fell onto a raised platform just outside the ship and struggled to keep hold of the boat full of treasure. Jim, however, sailed over her, then slipped down into a growing crevice on the metal core of the planet below them. “Jim!” She clambered down onto the platform, moving past Silver, and stretched herself as far as she could go. “Grab hold!” Jim, swinging from one hand, tried with all his might to reach her. But the platform and the side of the crevice he was clinging to were rapidly moving apart. “I can’t!” He shouted. “Just hang on!” Alice pleaded. She ran back up the platform, just as Morph began to zip frantically around Silver’s head. “Silver!” She shouted. “Jim needs you! I can’t reach him.” Silver’s hardened gaze melted as his cyborg eye zoomed in on Jim. “Jimbo,” he breathed softly. “Please, help him!” “Can you keep hold of the boat, lass?” Silver asked. Alice nodded. “I’ll try.” She took his place and clung to the side of the boat with all her might, hoping her weight would be enough to keep it anchored to the platform. It immediately began to move, though, and Silver grasped hold of it. “Get on that boat, lass, and don’t you come off for nothing, you hear me?” Alice’s eyes filled with tears, but she nodded and obeyed. * Jim struggled to keep hold of the slick metal under his hands. It was slowly pulling back in, and soon there would be nothing to keep hold of. “Reach for me, lad!” Jim heard Silver’s voice and gasped. The cyborg was stretched out towards him, extending his robotic hand. His other hand was clasped around the boat, and from the side of the boat, he could see Alice’s wild blonde hair and wide blue eyes. “Come on, Jim! You can do it!” She shouted. Jim stretched until he felt his shoulder would dislocate, but there were still several inches between his hand and Silver’s. “No, I can’t!” Jim yelled, just as the edge he was clinging to merged with the wall. He let out a cry as he slipped further down the wall. “Silver! Help me!” “Silver! Please!” Jim heard Alice’s shrill cry. Silver glanced back at the boat, then at Jim, his eyes conflicted. Alice leapt off the boat and came to stand beside Silver, her eyes blazing. “Hang on, Jim!” She yanked the scarf belt from around her waist and tried desperately to reach him with it. “No, Alice! It’s not gonna work!” Jim tried to shoo her away. “Just get out of here!” “It has to work!” Alice pressed herself down onto her stomach and reached as far as she could go. “Please let it reach, oh please!” Jim caught the scarf with a triumphant laugh. “Yes!” Alice’s blue eyes were wide with hope. She tugged, trying to pull him up…but she was starting to slip down the platform, dragged down by Jim’s weight. “Silver!” Alice screamed as she scrabbled for traction. “Help!” “Silver, grab her!” Jim cried. “Oh, blast me for a fool!” Silver let go of the boat. He grasped hold of Alice just before she plummeted into the abyss with Jim, then helped her tug Jim up to the platform. Alice gathered Jim into her arms. “Oh, thank the stars.” She hugged him tight. Jim hugged her back, but his gaze was fixed on Silver. Silver gazed back at him, seeming just as shocked as Jim felt. Jim had been sure Silver didn’t care for him…but apparently, there had been some truth behind Silver’s insistence that he hadn’t meant what he said down in the galley. They all gasped and shielded their eyes as the laser destroyed the boat—what had been their escape plan. “Oh, dear,” Alice moaned. “What shall we do now?” “We gotta run, like, now!” Jim grabbed her hand, and Silver followed close on their heels as they ran like mad for the glowing green door.
