[Jackfiresteel]

Yeah so I realize it took me a gizzilion years to actually start the next chapter, but I have had a lot of *shrudder* school recently and I haven't been able to get to it. Now its christmas break and I has the free times.

Note: Read at your own risk, this can get violent.

Chapter 2

As Jack gets out of bed, he realizes that he overslept, so he sprints out the door, cutlass in hand, and runs to the dock.
"Yer late Jack." says Darkskull.
"I'm sorry, I over slept." replies Jack.
"I didn't ask you for an excuse. I was making sure you knew. Now get on the ship" barks Darkskull.
"Yes sir... wait, which one?" asks Jack.
"You know, normal crew members don't ask this many questions. It be the war sloop over there. The one with the name "Victory Shark" on it." replies Darkskull.
Jack walks to the ship and climbs aboard slowly, peering on the decks. When he gets on the main deck, someone taps his shoulder.
"What do you think your doing on our ship?" asks a stranger.
"Its OK Will, hes a new recruit." says Darkskull.
"How on earth did he get onboard so fast?" thinks Jack.
"Oh.. ok. Whats yer name then son? asks Will.
"Jack Firesteel. Whats your name?" asks Jack.
"William Goldwalker" replies Will.
"Let me introduce you to the rest of the crew, Jack." says Darkskull. "Crew mates! Report to the main deck, now!"
As each and every crew member runs to the main deck, Jack gets more and more excited. Then the last pirate files in and Delmaria starts introducing them to Jack. He introduced Andrew, William Goldwalker, Grace Goldgull, Charles Crestshot, the Pirate of Wisdom, and up to this day Jack still doesn't know his real name, Buck Bankok, and Elizabeth McMorgan.
"Now, go to your stations! We leave port in 5 minutes!" yells Darkskull.
"Where are we going?" asks Jack.
"To find the Lost Sword of El Patron, and maybe along the way Jolly will appear so you can get a whack at him." replies Darkskull.
"Good, because i'll never forget what he did." snarls Jack.

Two months at sea, and the crew of the Victory Shark stop at their first port. Padres Del Fuego. Delmaria send a couple of pirates to go get some supplies, and some to repair the ship. Then he takes the rest of the crew, including Jack to go do some looting.
"Where are we going?" asks Jack.
"You use that question to much Jacky. We are going to Becketts Quarry. We are going to see what Neban has." says Darkskull.
"Who's Neban...?" asks Jack.
"A skilled swordsman. Thats all you need to know."
When the crew gets to the entrance of the cave, Del tells the crew to stay quiet and to avoid any guards. Then they go in.
As they are going through the first major cave, with 3 guards, the crew goes as quietly as they can, but Jack accidentally kicks a rock, and the guards were on him faster then he could blink. Jack, unsheathes his Shadowfire and it immediately starts to blaze a black fire. As the guards blink and stare at the fire, Del tells the crew to hide behind a nearby rock and watch. Then Jack, wondering why they aren't helping, slashes at the first guards neck, killing him instantly, and the black flames engulfed his body, disintegrating it in a matter of seconds. The other two guards, realizing he was an impostor, start slashing at him, but Jack, being the masterful swordsman that he is, easily parries and blocks the attacks and stabs the second guard. The third guard, after staring at his burning comrade, lashes at Jack, but he easily dodges and kills the third guard. The flames from his sword destroy any signs of any guards even being there.
"Why didn't you help?" asks Jack.
"Hey you were the one who kicked the rock, next time be more careful!" barks Darkskull as loudly as he can, but still whispering.

As the crew makes their way to Neban's cave, Del tells some of the crew to heal with voodoo, some to throw daggers, and the remaining two, Del and Jack, to use cutlass.

Then the crew strikes. After a couple seconds, most of the crew is reviving, or needs to be revived. All the pirates that are left, are Jack and Del. Then Neban throws a poison dagger at Del, hitting square in the chest. Luckily, Charles was there to help. Jack then charges at Neban with a flaming sword. Neban jumps out of the way, and throws several daggers at him but misses, then Will comes in and showers Neban with a barrage of spells from his staff, but Neban manages to strike down Will. Then, with Neban distracted, Jack charges again, but this time he hits Neban.

After everyone in the crew had recovered, Del opened the loot chest, but found nothing but junk.

"Ugh, nothing. We have to go to Darkhart." says Darkskull.
Then, as he said that a group of assassins ran into the cave, swords in hand, ready to kill.
