Jack dressed in his conquistador suit cut through the forest with his longsword. A brier patch caught his sock. He cut down the bush and continued down the path. And every step brought him closer to Chase Young.
Chase sat in his chair in his fortress , he gazed at the fire in the fireplace a cup of oolong tea beside him taking soft sips . Then ...
Flashback ...
Chase had gotten up off the deck of his ship. It swayed to one side as the hurricane raged around them. Rain poured down the thunder and lightning booming. There where many shouts of anguish and disgust from the crew : "Say your prayers." , "Ready the lifeboats" where common.
The a creak. The sound of snapping wood and cables could be heard. In a second the ship split in half pouring all its cargo into the ocean. The two haves floated then both went under. Chase floated on the ocean. The cries for help where everywhere.
Chase took a piece of broken wood. He floated up and down on the waves. Soon the cries died down till there was no more, they had all drowned. Chase closed his eyes.
When he opened them he was on a deck. Over looking him was Captain Vanderdecken, his tombstone teeth looked gruesomely from his mouth. Thunder illuminating his face. "Welcome aboard the Flying Dutchman, where you will spend eternity on my ship." he spat the last word.
Chase looked around at the dutch merchant ship. Its sails worn and torn and St. Elmo's fire still on the mast. Chase hit Vanderdecken in the jaw and made a run for it. Vanderdecken fell to deck and let out a groan of pain.
He dived into the ocean and using the last stores of energy swam for the shore. He hit the shore and fainted.
End of Flashback
Jack burst into Chase's fortress sword wielded. Chase immediately got up with the sword of the storm. "Jack you where foolish to come here."
"This is for Raimundo, you swine." They started going into combat. Chase making long broad strikes why Jack making short shallow defenses and parries. Chase pushed Jack up into the balcony over looking the inside lake.
Suddenly Chase hit Jack's sword into the lake and pushed him down making a sword strike across his chest. Jack held his chest as he lay bleeding on the causeway. Chase gave a smirk as he was about to finish him off.
Suddenly from the top of the ceiling a green portal came up. Out of the portal Captain Vanderdecken came frowning hard. Then twisted his mouth into a evil smile. "Chase Young you owe me your soul."
"No, no I escaped that fate." He laughed manically and took Chase in his arms and disappeared. His laughter still radiating through the hollow structure.
Jack looked around. Darkness was coming to the corners of his eyelids. So this is what if feels like to die Jack thought, the darknesses consumed him.
