Batamogi, being short, whacked the pirates’ knees with stout pieces of rigging. The attackers fell to the deck, sliding on their own wet boots.

“Score three for us!” the Oobja king chirped.

Moving swiftly and deftly, Galen battled four pirates who had tried to take control of the ship’s wheel. With one, two, three quick jumps on his feet, he sent the attackers spinning over the side.

“Ah, the smell of gizzleberries in the air!” Galen cried. “I know we shall soon find Max!”

“But Lord Sparr told us to sink you!” growled one pirate as Keeah sent him swinging back to his own ship. “He says you are getting too close —”

“No, fool!” shouted one, who seemed to be the captain. “They aren’t supposed to know that!”

“Thank you for the clue!” Galen chirped merrily. “And thank you for a new chapter in my history of Droon! ‘Battle on the Black Waves,’ I shall call it. Oh, what a victory!”

Friddle turned the wheel sharply, and the Jaffa Wind pulled away from the pirate ship.

The wizard cheered as he hurtled one last pirate into the ocean. “You shall not stop us now!”

“We can try!” growled the pirate captain. “Ready, mates. Take aim, and … fire!”

Poooom! A fiery ball shot up from an invisible cannon on the pirate ship. It soared in a high arc over the Jaffa Wind and struck the Sapphire Star.

“No!” cried Keeah.

The Star wobbled in the air for a moment, then fell through the mist in a swift blue streak.

“Where did it go?” shouted Galen. “Where?”

“Lost at sea!” boomed the captain. “And now, you will be, too. Ready — fire!”

A second poom of their cannon sent a low blast over the deck of the Jaffa Wind.

Eric saw the fiery ball heading for Julie and Neal. He rushed to them. “Out of the way!”

Then he felt something hot explode near him. He heard the cracking of wood, and the deck seemed to vanish beneath him.

“Eric!” screamed Keeah.

But he was hurtling down away from the ship.

The crashing waves surged up at him.

And his eyes closed in pain as he struck the black water.
