A MONTAGE showing the hook and 'bait' hitting the water along with the pile of limbs, diminishing until there is only one leg and the hand remaining.
EXT. LEEWARD RAIL. KALEIDOSCOPE - MIDDAY
MYGOR gives the BAIT MAN a dirty look as he pulls the empty hook up the side of the ship.
BAIT MAN - It's not my fault the bait keeps falling off. You must be jiggling it too hard.
MYGOR (grabbing the leg) - This is the last leg.
(angrily draping it over the hook) It had better get something or else.
BAIT MAN (gripping the hand onto the ankle of the leg) - Here, this might be lucky.
MYGOR sizes the rope in his hand and swings it around his head, casting it out to sea.
EXT. HELM. KALEIDOSCOPE - MIDDAY
KROKOR is steering the ship while PETROS keeps an eye on him.
KROKOR - I spy with my little eye, something beginning with...
KROKOR gazes around at the surrounding water.
KROKOR
‘W'.
PETROS rolls his eyes and shakes his head in disbelief.
EXT. LEEWARD RAIL. KALEIDOSCOPE - MIDDAY
GWORT and the others have regained their composure and wander over to the baitless MYGOR.
ST. JOHN - Had any bites yet?
MYGOR (looking at the BAIT MAN angrily) - Absolutely nothing.
BAIT MAN - Well, it's not my fault, is it?
HAROLD (pointing out to sea) - Hey, look out over there!
They all look out to sea.
EXT. LAKE DORIAD - MIDDAY
An extremely large fin slices through the water towards the line.
EXT. LEEWARD RAIL. KALEIDOSCOPE - MIDDAY
The BAIT MAN turns to MYGOR.
BAIT MAN - I knew you'd get one.
DONSENDORTH (big) - It's huge.
MYGOR (looking out to sea while panicking) - Where? I can't see. Where is it?
EXT. LAKE DORIAD - MIDDAY
A huge BLOWORTH jumps up out of the lake and blows a spout of water into the air.
EXT. LEEWARD RAIL. KALEIDOSCOPE - MIDDAY
MYGOR freezes in terror.
MYGOR - Oh dear...! (looking around nervously) Does anyone want to hold this rope for me?
BAIT MAN (reassuringly) - It's only a small one.
EXT. LAKE DORIAD - MIDDAY
The BLOWORTH jumps high into the air again and dives straight onto the line.
EXT. LEEWARD RAIL. KALEIDOSCOPE - MIDDAY
MYGOR jolts forward against the side of the ship.
MYGOR (gulping nervously) - Something tells me I've got a bite.
BAIT MAN - Don't just stand there, haul it in.
MYGOR strains as he pulls the rope in. In the background, the BLOWORTH jumps into the air.
MYGOR (straining) - Could someone give me a hand here?
ST. JOHN and HENRY take hold of the rope as the BLOWORTH dives back into the water.
BAIT MAN - Whatever you do, don't let go of the rope.
MYGOR, HENRY and ST. JOHN stare at the BAIT MAN in disbelief. In the background, the BLOWORTH jumps up out of the water again and drags them up the side of the ship.
EXT. HELM. KALEIDOSCOPE - MIDDAY
KROKOR is still at the wheel.
KROKOR - I spy with my little eye, something beginning with...
He blatantly looks at the plank on the side of the ship.
KROKOR - 'P'.
KROKOR waits for PETROS' guess. PETROS looks around to see two PIRATE SHIPS ships heading directly for the KALEIDOSCOPE.
PETROS (terrified) - Pekroneas!!!
KROKOR - No.
PETROS (pointing, while shouting to the others) - Pirates!!!
KROKOR (childishly) - Not even close.
EXT. LAKE DORIAD - MIDDAY
A projectile, launched from a catapult on PIRATE SHIP 2, narrowly misses the KALEIDOSCOPE, spraying water onto the deck.
EXT. HELM. KALEIDOSCOPE - MIDDAY
PETROS watches in horror as the PIRATE SHIPS attack. KROKOER is helpless.
PETROS - Starboard attack! Starboard attack!
EXT. LEEWARD RAIL. KALEIDOSCOPE - MIDDAY
The GWORT, DONSENDORTH and HAROLD run to the windward side of the KALEIDOSCOPE and look out to sea. MYGOR, DWILLBURY, ST. JOHN and the BAIT MAN continue with their fishing.
EXT. LAKE DORIAD - MIDDAY
The PIRATE SHIPS bear down on the KALEIDOSCOPE. PIRATE SHIP 1 launches the first of its catapults.
EXT. WINDWARD RAIL. KALEIDOSCOPE - MIDDAY
GWORT, HAROLD and DONSENDORTH are staring at the PIRATE SHIPS in amazement. Another projectile lands a few feet from the KALEIDOSCOPE, spraying water onto them.
EXT. LAKE DORIAD - MIDDAY
PIRATE SHIP 1 sails alongside the KALEIDOSCOPE and launches its second catapult.
EXT. WINDWARD RAIL. KALEIDOSCOPE - MIDDAY
The TEAM stand on deck as the catapult projectile flies straight over them. They follow it with their heads as it tears through one of the sails.
EXT. LEEWARD RAIL. KALEIDOSCOPE - MIDDAY
MYGOR, HENRY and ST. JOHN are being dragged along the leeward rail as the BLOWORTH breaches the water. A second after it dives back into the lake, the water in front of them splashes from the projectile.
MYGOR (to the BAIT MAN) - What was that?
The BAIT MAN looks to the windward side of the ship.
BAIT MAN (casually) - Oh nothing, it's just some pirates.
MYGOR and HENRY stare at him in disbelief. The BAIT MAN looks at them with the stupid grin, while pointing at the pirate ships.
EXT. LAKE DORIAD - MIDDAY
The BLOWORTH jumps out of the water.
EXT. LEEWARD RAIL. KALEIDOSCOPE - MIDDAY
The line tightens and MYGOR, HENRY and ST. JOHN strain with the weight.
EXT. LAKE DORIAD - MIDDAY
The BLOWORTH is about to re-enter the water when suddenly an enormous FISH, the size KALEIDOSCOPE, jumps out of the water and swallows the BLOWORTH whole.
EXT. LEEWARD RAIL. KALEIDOSCOPE - MIDDAY
We close on the BAIT MAN'S face as it follows the large FISH into the air. His eyes bulge and he holds his hat.
BAIT MAN - Oh, my...
MYGOR (panicked) - What the hell is that?
HENRY - Fucking huge!
EXT. LAKE DORIAD - MIDDAY
The HUGE FISH dives into the water and swims towards the KALEIDOSCOPE. As it nears the ship it submerges.
EXT. LEEWARD RAIL. KALEIDOSCOPE - MIDDAY
MYGOR, ST. JOHN and HENRY panic as the FISH submerges. The line heads towards the side of the KALEIDOSCOPE and hits the leeward rail. It whips around and tightens as the FISH swims under the ship.
MYGOR - Bugger this.
They release the rope and it whips over the edge of the ship. The three of them turn to see PIRATE SHIP 1 sailing next to them, their curiosity draws them, and the BAIT MAN, to the windward rail.
EXT. HELM. PIRATE SHIP 1 - MIDDAY
The captain of the pirate ship, PEKRONEAS, prepares his crew to fire at the KALEIDOSCOPE.
PEKRONEAS - Ready... Aim...
He looks at the KALEIDOSCOPE and snickers sadistically, then looks down at the water. PEKRONEAS is suddenly silenced and his eyes bulge.
EXT. LAKE DORIAD - MIDDAY
We see an aerial shot of PIRATE SHIP 1, several yards away from the KALEIDOSCOPE. The gigantic FISH smashes through the hull of PIRATE SHIP 1, as if it were made of matches. The FISH flicks it's tail, smashing the remains of the ship, and swims off.
EXT. HELM. PIRATE SHIP 1 - MIDDAY
PEKRONEAS stands at the helm of the broken ship, as it sinks rapidly. He suddenly bursts into tears. In the background PIRATE SHIP 2 bears down on the KALEIDOSCOPE. PEKRONEAS and his remaining CREW swim to the second PIRATE SHIP.
EXT. HELM. KALEIDOSCOPE - MIDDAY
KROKOR and PETROS climb down from the helm and run over to the windward rail.
PETROS (to the BAIT MAN) - Take the wheel.
The BAIT MAN follows the order.
MYGOR (to PETROS) - What are they doing?
PETROS - They're going to board us.
KROKOR - Like hell they are.
KROKOR runs to the side of the ship and looks across at the PIRATES.
EXT. PIRATE SHIP 2 - MIDDAY
We see the wet PIRATES climb aboard the ship with PEKRONEAS. Once on board, they growl and wave their swords violently at the KALEIDOSCOPE.
PEKRONEAS (shouting loudly) - Prepare to die!
EXT. WINDWARD RAIL. KALEIDOSCOPE - MIDDAY
KROKOR looks at the distance between the two ships and thinks to himself. He shakes his head in disagreement. We cut to KROKOR'S POV as he scans the ship in desperation. KROKOR looks up at the KALEIDOSCOPE'S mast to see a long rope that reaches out and fastens to the top spar. KROKOR smiles wickedly as he runs to the mast. The TEAM members watch bewilderment as KROKOR climbs the mast with ease.
EXT. PIRATE SHIP 2 - MIDDAY
The PIRATES point and laugh at KROKOR as he climbs the mast.
EXT. TOP OF MAST. KALEIDOSCOPE - MIDDAY
Once KROKOR reaches the top of the mast, he grabs the rope and cuts it. He then wraps it around his swordless arm and, with a mighty war cry, swings out from the mast.
EXT. PIRATE SHIP 2 - MIDDAY
KROKOR hits the deck and raises his sword, immediately the PIRATES charge at him.
EXT. WINDWARD RAIL. KALEIDOSCOPE - MIDDAY
PETROS runs to the helm of the ship.
PETROS (to the BAIT MAN) - Swing her about so we can help the Prince.
BAIT MAN - Right!
EXT. PIRATE SHIP 2 - MIDDAY
The PIRATES attack KROKOR, but he dodges them. He swings his sword around and slashes three of the PIRATES, knocking them off the ship. The action speeds up ten fold as KROKOR jumps around the ship killing PIRATES, left, right and centre. The action slows down to normal speed as KROKOR slowly walks up to PEKRONEAS, the sole survivor. PEKRONEAS looks at him angrily. With a pitiful shout, he charges KROKOR. As he nears him, KROKOR lets out his war cry and raises his sword. PEKRONEAS bursts into tears, runs away and jumps overboard.
EXT. WINDWARD RAIL. KALEIDOSCOPE - MIDDAY
The TEAM MEMBERS cheer for KROKOR. MYGOR however, is silent as he turns to GWORT.
MYGOR (disappointedly) - I didn't even get to use my new axe.
