[Captain Gas]

Chapter 2: Dark Memories

As Del awaited for Jolly's arrival on the beach, Gastro stood for a moment. He remembered that Jolly had used the Stone of Immortality to make himself unkillable.

Meanwhile, Mark was going crazy trying to hold back his fears of the Undead. He also thought in his mind what happened to Jack really?

Suddenly, the crew heard a voice say, "Grr... FORWARD, YE USELESS IMBECILES! DESTROY THE TAVERN AND THAT PITIFUL CREW PARTNERS N CRIME!"

Gastro could never mistake it. That was Jolly's voice. The fact that the skeletal monster was still alive gave him shivers.

Just then, another group of skeletons emerged from the now green waters. They were moving fast as if they didn't have much time left. But, Gastro knew what it meant. They feared that if they didn't move fast enough, their merciless leader would be furious and would kill them all in one slaughtering hit.

Gastro closed in on their foes and double slashed three of them. They eventually fell, but it wouldn't be over that quick. Ten more dusty skeleton beasts emerged from the murky waters and charged aggressively at our heroes.

Luckily, Del as always, had an interesting strategy to leave the skeletons in their wake. It would be genius, but a tough plan to carry out.

Del called out to Gastro, "Gastro, blind them with your light!" Gastro was confused on what his crew leader was thinking, but nodded at the order.

He carefully aimed his blade at the moon, hoping the light would be strong enough to reflect from the blade that he carried.

He carefully studied all angles to make sure his angle would be accurate, and he finally shined the blinding light on the clueless skeletons.

While they couldn't see, Del charged at them for the kill. Mark, thinking he could help, rushed to his aid. Unfortunately, he made an epic fail once again and tripped over a leaf.

Del slashed, parried, and cleaved at his enemies to make sure they wouldn't do any harm to the pirate home called Tortuga. Gastro tried to keep steady on the angle, but warned Del that he couldn't hold it any longer.

Del, trying to hurry, aggressively slashed and stabbed his way through his blind enemies. Luckily, just before Gastro dropped his blade, Del stabbed the last of the skeletons and defeated yet another brigade.

Jolly furiously growled from his ship, "ARRGH! That crew is stronger than I thought... if that is so, I must finish them off meself!"

Jolly, his hooves pounding on the floor of his ship, walked off the plank and onto the shore to face his opponents for revenge.

Gastro, in a brave tone said, "Well, Jolly, looks like you're back. As ugly as ever, too." Jolly growled and said, "Don't pick fights that ye can't win, bilge rat.." Gastro then replied, "You're right. I can't win the ugly contest. Obviously, you can."

Jolly in rage, tried to claw at Gastro. Del whispered to Gastro, "Gastro, stop! You're only making him angry..." Gastro replied, "Exactly. He won't be more careful with his attacks if he does get angry."

Del understood this and aided Gastro in his plan. "So, Jolly, looking as bony as ever, eh?" Jolly, furious at the two Bladebearers, finally lost his temper and attacked the crew!

Everyone tried to harm him, but he looked more immortal than last time. Perhaps in the last 10 years, his immortality had gotten stronger?

Jolly cackled and said, "Fools! I told ye this be a fight that you can't win!" Gastro then slyly replied, "You're right, Jolly. We can't win. But, the first of the Bladebearers, him, can."

Jolly Roger saw Jack Sparrow leaning against a rock. "Ahoy, Jolly, old friend. Care for some rum?" Jolly growled and smashed the rum bottle out of Jack's hand.

"I don't care fer rum, Sparrow. What I do care for is revenge." Jack Sparrow replied back to his old friend, "Perhaps. But, revenge is such a strong word."

He snapped his fingers and summoned his blade! He slashed at Jolly who staggered in pain and growled in fury.

He shot at Sparrow and tried to pin him in a corner when Gastro, Del, and Mark (wow, he DID?) finally got their smarts back. They attacked Jolly, who was too distracted to hold them off.

Jolly then said, "Hmph, fine. If that's the way ye want it." He attacked with a powerful shockwave that knocked down even Gastro and Del!

Jolly then said, "REVENGE WILL BE OBTAINED!"
