CHAPTER 2 - REMEMBER

When he woke up he was in a bed. He sat up and looked around. There was a little table next to his bed with a mug of rum on it, a door, and a window. He also saw his belongings by his bed. He emptied the mug in 2 gulps.

He stood up and opened the door. There were stairs. He walked down the stairs to find a tavern. He read a sign above the door. "Skulls Thunder… I’m in Padres Del Fuego...?" said Jack. He went and got some rum and sat down. He caught a man looking at him. "Hello there," said Jack. The man stood up and seemed to start to approach him but he turned away and started to walk out the door. As the stranger started leaving, Jack spotted an insignia, and under it, said "Exaclibur 52". That name sounded extremely familiar. The man seemed extremely familiar.

Jack followed the stranger out the door, but he didn't want the man to see him. He followed the stranger all the way to Fort Dundee. He felt something touch his legs, but when he looked down, nothing was there. When he looked back at the stranger, he had disappeared. He looked around for him, and he went inside the fort to look for him. Unfortunately, a guard spotted him. He went and hid behind a wall. But as he looked around for a cutlass he found none, when he looked back there was a barrel. "That wasn't there before..."

When he looked inside a barrel there was an extremely beautiful, expensive looking cutlass, and a piece of parchment with beautiful writing on it. The guard has found him. He grabbed the parchment and the cutlass. The guard tried to stab him, Jack parried, and kicked him down, he then dispatched the guard. Then he sneaked away. "I hate these places…" grunted Jack. When he left the fort he looked back and ran into a tree. Then all of a sudden, the ground underneath him trembled and fell. Jack fell into the hole he had made.

He looked around and found that he was in a cave, much like Beckett’s Quarry. In fact, it was Beckett’s Quarry. He stood up and started walking to his right. He tried his best to avoid the EITC Guards. He remembered that he had a parchment. He read it and it said, "Hello Jack Firesteel. Make use of this cutlass. We will see you soon."

He kept walking until he reached a circle. There were EITC and Navy Guards all around it. He recognized one of them. It was Samuel. He had run into him before. There was no way to sneak by them. He didn't even know where he was going. He knew what he had to do. He had to use his Voodoo Doll on them. He really didn't like using it. It made him weak and tired. He had no choice. He took out his doll, and attuned them all. They all felt it and ran toward him. He took their lives. He saw some footprints near the column in the center of the cave. These weren't the Guards’ footprints. Its toe was pointed, not round. It looked like a boot-print. He looked at it closer and put his hand on the column for support, his back hurt.

When his hand pressed against the rock it opened. "This... is a door!" he said "The column is hollow..." He went inside and found stairs.

He walked down the stairs to find a room. There were 3 doors around it. The room was round, not a common cube. Out of one of the doors a man walked out. He wore a large hat, a black coat, black vest, a red shirt, black pants, and black pointed boots. He was the person Jack was following.

"Hello Firesteel." he said. "What... is this place.." said Jack. Then something struck his skull, and he went unconscious.

When he woke up he was in a chair. A man walked in. It was that same man. "Hello again Firsesteel" he said. "ARRGH! Why do you keep knocking me out!?" Jack shouted. "Well because one, so you don’t see the contents of this location, and 2, because it’s fun messing with people," said the man.

"Alright you've gotten me, what do you want with me?" said Jack. "Well first off I want to know why you were following me." asked the stranger. "You seemed familiar to me. And you were looking at me..." answered Jack. “Alright then,” the stranger responded. "Who are you… why do you seem so familiar..?" said Jack. "My name is Yanto Jones. I am the Guildmaster of an.... organization, called Excalibur 52." "Why 52?" "Because this is the 52nd attempt at the guild. We protect...."
"....Pirates, from EITC, Navy, Jolly Roger, and all other threats. I remember now. Where is this place..?" said Jack. "Oh yes. I forgot I wiped your memory. You are sitting in our head quarters." "Your HQ is in Beckett’s Quarry?" said Jack. "Yes. Hide the HQ in our enemies territory. We did that because we are clever and smart." said Yanto. "Alright then... what happened to the other 51 Excaliburs?" asked Jack.

"Gone. Dead. Over. Either the guildmasters died, the guild corrupted, or the guildmembers turned on each other and died. Excalibur 2 GM, his ship sunk. Excalibur 6 GM, his guildmates turned on him and each member killed him. Excalibur 23, GM and his officers on a ship. Sunk by the kraken. Excalibur 36, GM mauled by alligators. This is not a friendly guild. We have a hard job. But we are well equipped. We have the best cutlasses, pistols, daggers.... dolls... and staves."

"So... why am I here?" asked Jack. "Because. We are recruiting." answered Yanto. "What!? NO! I am not joining your guild! I don’t think I could be at risk to die every day..." said Jack. "You're already at risk every day, with the EITC, Navy, Jolly and every other threat threatening you. Trust me you will be way better off here. You will be equipped with the best weapons. And you will be paid. But you can leave if you want to die quicker in your life. The door is over there. Just don’t let the EITC Guards see you." said Yanto.

"Alright. I’ll join." said Jack.

"Good. 2 days. Sunrise. Don’t be late."
