It was 3 months to the day The Battle of Monodas ended. There are many Pirates whom have now taken glory and honor for Monodas. The darkness of Raven's cove still remains. Jolly Roger has stopped attacking islands. Most people believed he was regrouping. Others thought he died and his undead armies still haunt the reckless land. Nearly a year since the Shards of Narsil were uncovered and taken back.
On October the 31st, a real scare came. Jolly Roger had sailed to and Island called Cutthroat. Spanish dead left by the Spanish Privateer of this island. Jolly Roger thought it would be very useful to recruit an army thats already dead, and are many in numbers. Jolly Roger's army has grown far much larger then any that walks the Earth.
On November 11th, Jolly Roger lead an army into Tortuga. We were taken by complete surprise. Ben badbones, whos sworn revenge on Jolly Roger, did not waste anytime. On the morning of November 12th, all pirates and undead had been released from their positions and were at battle. The undead, whos numbers were well over 20000 strong raged into Tortuga. The remaing 8000 from The Battle of Monodas were not gonna lose a moment of the fight. We fought like demons.
Chris and I were at the front of the battle. Chris had killed many, fought many battles, and won most. During this battle he had some of his fellow pirates help him roll the ship cannons up to the heart of the Battle. This went successfully, but the undead were so many that they ran through the cannons. I had tried something similar and brought back a number of pirates to a secret building on the hillside. Here there were windows for long range shooters. This help us much through the battle.
The date was now Friday the 13th, November. Something bad was believed to happen this day. But it turned out to be unexpected. Chris realized that he could take his fleet and come around from behind Jolly Roger's army. So he did so. Took a half hour to get around to the other side of Tortuga to get into the Bay. And at noon, the undead were shocked. 5 Ship of the Lines had come into the harbor. Each Ship bear as many as 200 Pirates. And as it happened the undead didn't know why all 5 ships turned sideways. The Undead soon figured out that the ships were about to perform a massive broadside. Still The pirates left on the island and the undead fought no matter what was coming from behind they would go every direction to kill every last living Pirate.
As Friday the 13th raged on in intense battle. It seemed to have happened that a stockpile of gunpowdered barrels were sitting on the docks. And well nobody knew what had happened but a huge explosion came from the East side of the beach. The explosion was so big it wiped out nearly 3000 Pirates and undead. As Chris ordered his fleet to land the ships at the beach and attack, everyone still on the island fought onward.
November 14th. There was not much more then 500 Pirates remaining, nor were there much more then 800 Undead alive. I raced forward and found myself fighting about 4 undead at the same time constantly. Luckily my fellow allies were there for my aid. Chris had about the same thing. As an undead swung his sword at him, he jumped/rolled under the sword and stabbed him. He often did these moves the whole 3 day battle.
2 In the afternoon Jolly Roger had finally stepped out onto the beach. The first thing Chris and I did was charge after him. Jolly Roger had about 3 rows of undead around him. Most carrying lethal muskets. My other 2 close friends, Basil Darkratte and Spade, were right behind me. As we fought our way to Jolly Roger the undead's difficulty of fighting through them was much harder.
All 4 of us Pirates kept moving. The rest of the army of Pirates were fighting others. As we finally reached the 3 rows of undead guarding roger, we were under heavy attack. Nearly 40 undead had charged at us. "40 vs 4???!!!" Basil had yelled. "We aren't gonna make it!" Spade said.
We were fighting for life and revenge. I jumped over an undead's sword slash killed him. We kept fighting, using tactical fighting skills. Then, a gun shot loud enough to be heard from a half mile away, raged over the whole battle. I felt a sharp pain come into my upper leg. In an instant i was on the ground. Chris, Basil, and Spade realized i had been hit. As i was on the ground I thought of Cari my wife, who was killed innocently, by a skeleton whom was standing not 20 yards away from me. And the moment I thought of it, I got up real quick and was in a total outburst of rage. I nearly ran right over about 3 undead. In a matter of seconds i was right in front of Jolly Roger. I told Chris, Spade, and Basil to stay back. At first we glared at each other. Then in a half a second i had an up to him and we fought. I finally made a move that tricked him, and i was able to kill him once and for all.
When Jolly roger had fallen I had fallen too i was panting, trying to keep up with time. The last of the undead had been killed. Thankfully i was able to recover. I lived to see the days of peace throughout Tortuga. And out of it all, i got revenge on Jolly Roger. Cari's ghostly distress back on Ravens cove, will now be at peace.
The Battle of Century was now over! Freedom came for pirates. All who had been lost will be remembered.
( Chris, Basil, and Spade, and I are all from the game ) ( Cari is a real life person whom i used in the story. )
Hope you Enjoyed The life and darknesses of Ben badbones.
