Last time on Pirate101, Adam Silver was stabbed by the notorious Clockwork, Kane. While recovering from his wounds and coming to terms with the discovery that he isn't the only surviving member of the Silver family, Adam must complete his quest to find the mysterious land of El Dorado before Kane and his clockworks. But with new pirates, and a prophecy, what will Adam's fate be?

1. Prologue

Prologue

A loud metallic clank could be heard throughout the island of Granchia. Kane and his remaining clockworks scoured the abandoned Valencian city in hopes of finding something to boost their efforts. "Tauros, scan the area." Tauros appeared on Kane's shoulder.

"Already done, Lord Kane. There is nothing left alive on the forsaken island." Kane slammed his metallic fist into a nearby wall, knocking the building continued forward.

"How are we supposed to dispose of those wretched pirates now?" Tauros floated in front of Kane.

"Sir, there aren't any living lifeforms on the island. There is a certain dead pirate you may be familiar with." Kane walked to the coordinates Tauros had transferred to his faceplate. Kane reached the clearing and saw the lifeless body of Sly Pedro Davis, surrounded by a pool of blood.

"Tauros, do we still have the relic?"

"Look in the canister on your belt." Kane took the canister and opened it. He took out the object that presided in the canister.

"I will never truly understand the properties of this Dark Yum."He placed the Dark Yum in Pedro's hand and closed the hand until he heard the crunch of the Dark Yum. When the evil substance was crushed, a wave of dark energy emitted from Pedro's body. The wound in Pedro's chest slowly closed as the dark energy faded. With the wound closed, Pedro let out a struggled coughed and slowly got to his feet. He turned and saw Kane's metal face.

"You!" Pedro took his axe from his back and held it to Kane's neck. "You told me I would have the strength to kill Ryan!"

Kane moved the axe and stated, "I said I would give you a chance. You had your chance; you failed." Pedro looked at the hook on his left hand.

"If I had both hands, I could have definitely killed him." Kane looked at the pirate's stump.

"I can't give you your hand back, but I can give you the power to defeat your nemesis." Kane turned around and walked toward the docks of Granchia. Pedro followed warily behind.

"Something seems different about you, Kane. Something almost … human." Kane stopped in his tracks. Cautiously, Pedro backed away.

"If you truly want to kill Ryan, you will keep what you see on my ship to yourself. Tauros, prepare the ship; we're leaving. Oh, and make sure our prisoner is comfortable. We can't risk the prophecy coming to pass."
