Act 6: A Pirate Life for Me.

37. The Haunted Captain.

Mario and his friends got a new location: Keelhaul Key a small uninhabited island.

Problem is Mario has no ship to go there, but he got a lead on a captain in the bar of Rogueport.

Following Professor Frankly's tip Mario and the rest entered the Inn, Mario saw a bunch of half-naked, muscular sailors sitting around a table, a rough voice was heard toward the Inn, after the voice went still the sailors started to laugh. 'I recognized that voice.' Mario said to Mallow.

'Yeah it sounds like...' Mallow replied, then one of the sailors stood up the man who spoke before was now visible, the man had long, black, messy hair with matching beard and mustache, he wore some ragged pants and a blue coat with no shirt under it, the man was very muscular and his body was covered in scars, for the rest he wore black combat boots, an anchor-shaped Duel Disk around his left wrist, his left eye was covered by an eye patch, on closer inspection Mario noticed the eye patch was in fact a D-Gazer. 'Jonathan ''Johnny'' Jones?' Mario asked.

'Ay who dares call me that?' The muscular man replied then he recognized Mario and Mallow. 'Mario my mate and Mallow! Ay how you been, come take a seat you and your friends!' Mario did as Jonathan asked, they all sat down around the table. 'Ay barkeep I give a round to the entire group at this table!'

A few minutes later they were all enjoying some food and drinks, Mario had introduced everyone to Jonathan. 'So Jonathan, what brings you here?' Mario asked. 'Busyness for a friend, see that guy over there?' Jonathan pointed to a table near the door, on a chair sat a man wearing a red pirate hat, matching red coat and green pants. 'That man is Flavio, likes to dress up as a pirate he is the captain of a transport ship, or at least was his ship sunk during a storm we going to Keelhaul Key, the Skull Gem is said to be there, if we can get our hands on that Skull Gem we can sell it to a museum then Flavio will have his money to fix his ship or buy a new one if the reward is big enough.'

Mario scratched his chin. 'Can we get a ride on your ship, if you have space left that is.' Mario quickly explained to Jonathan he and his friends were hunting Crystal Stars and that there is supposed to be one on Keelhaul Key. 'Of course you can come, I have my personal freighter now, that pirate business I quit with, decided to invest my money in a freighter, now I run errants for others, I don't mind a few extra passengers, I even give you a free ride if you help me out with some personal business I have on Keelhaul Key.' Mario nodded in agreement then the two shook hands. 'So we depart tomorrow morning.' Jonathan said, then he leaned back. 'Barkeep another round for this group please!'

Then Mario leaned on his elbows. 'So tell me Johnny, what have you been doing?' He asked: 'Ay that is a sad story.' Jonathan replied and he started to talk: 'Well my misfortune happened a day after those Egyptian Gods appeared in the sky and did battle with those Wicked Gods...'

Jonathan was sitting on his make-shift throne, on the battered table before him laid piles of money. 'Say Jonathan, what are you gonna do now?' One of Jonathan's men came into the room, slowly the pirate stood up. 'Well, my ship is still grounded, I do like this old, wooden ship but it is hardly seaworthy.' Jonathan took a hand of money, he sniffed it then put it back on the table. 'I miss my cargo ship, that princess Rozalin she payed me quite a lot of money as a reward for...' At that point the screams of several men sounded through the old ship. 'The hell?' Jonathan cursed before he could react ten X-Naut Soldiers stormed inside his room, guns aimed at the pirate and his henchman. 'Buh buh buh huh huh, look what I got myself.' The soldiers dispersed as Lord Crump slowly walked down the stairs, he aimed his gun at Jonathan then at the henchmen and fired a single shot.

Jonathan looked his henchmen fall down his hand tightly around his leg where he was hit. 'Jonathan Jones?' Crump asked looking at the pirate, Johnathan knew this question was rethorical. 'Look Johnny, I am not a man of patience.' Crump pointed with his gun to the chair Jonathan sat down. 'You helped Mario, this makes you one of Sir Grodus' enemies, I am tasked with hunting those who helped Mario, frankly you're the only one who helped him who is still on this cursed island.' Jonathan shrugged he started to organize his money. 'What do you want?' Jonathan asked: 'It is not like I looked down the barrel of a gun before, didn't talk then won't talk now.'

Crump opened his mouth to say something then he closed it again.

'Y-you tell me where Mario is now!' Crump bellowed.

'Even if I knew I wouldn't tell you.' The pirate replied not looking up from the pile of money. 'You want information so you won't kill me.' Jonathan whispered, Crump was taken aback. 'Besides you tried to kill one of my men, you aimed at his chest you hit his leg, you don't aim straight you are no threat...'

'ENOUGH!' Crump suddenly roared, his soldiers took aim at Jonathan: 'I am in control here!' Crump started then a chuckle interrupted him, Crump looked back he was clearly irritated. 'You won't get the answers here Crump, he doesn't have them.' Crump's eyes now only showed fear as Azrael entered the room.

'Crump you are to retreat, Sir Grodus already has the information he needed, he plans to strike at Rogueport, as soon as he does that he will draw Mario out in the open.' Crump wanted to protest but one look of Azrael made him and the soldiers flee the room. 'I'll deal with this one, any ally of Mario needs to die, besides, I need to blow off some steam for Dimentio's death yesterday.'

For a few seconds Jonathan and Azrael stared each other down.

'You know I don't get down without a fight.' Jonathan muttered, he took an old, battered Duel Disk from his desk and activated it, Azrael stretched his left arm, a black mist appeared around his wrist forming a black Duel Disk. 'Duel!' They both shouted, slowly a black mist appeared around the wrecked ship.

(Azrael: 8000) - (Jonathan: 8000)

'You know demon, I do not fear you.' Jonathan looked Azrael directly in the eyes. 'I can see that, you say you're a fearless pirate, you obviously swore no allegiance to Mario, why not join me?' Azrael replied.

'No you send your men to kill me, asking me to join you now it shows your fear for me.' Jonathan calmly drew his opening hand.

'I fear nothing, you show potential it would be a waste to kill you, but you rejected my offer so you die.' Azrael said with a chuckle, he also drew his opening hand.

'I Summon Gimmick Puppet Egg Head in Attack Mode.' Azrael calmly said, in one motion he took the card from his hand and placed it on his Duel Disk, before him a weird-looking Monster appeared, it was a brown egg-shaped creature with blue eyes, two white legs were attached to the underside of the thing and two long, white arms on the sides, to finish it off the creature had green hair. (1600 ATK)

Jonathan shrugged, this thing looked like a creature from his nightmares.

'I use the Effect of Egg Head.' Azrael continued: 'I Discard one Gimmick Puppet from my hand and deal 800 Points of Damage.' Azrael showed the card it was called: Gimmick Puppet Shadow Feeler.

Egg Head started to glow, then small eggs fell upon Jonathan they exploded, Jonathan leaped back as he felt an intense pain where the eggs exploded, he looked at the floor of his ship, there were burn marks where the egg bombs landed.

(Azrael: 8000) - (Jonathan: 7200)

'Surprised?' Azrael sneered: 'We are not playing a normal game, this is a Shadow Duel, Monsters are real and damage as well, needless to say if your Life Points are being reduced to zero you die.'

Jonathan walked back to his position, he dusted off his coat a bit. 'I am not impressed demon, merely surprised, you won't bring me down!'

Azrael chuckled: 'Really? That was only 800 in Damage, pain received from that amount of damage is nothing, when the damage becomes more than 1000 you won't talk big anymore, besides I am holding back right now.'

Jonathan spat into the water.

'For now I shall end my turn.' Azrael stated.

Jonathan drew his card. 'I won't lose this Duel, I know you are one of the Trinity Mario told me about, you are Azrael.' Jonathan looked Azrael directly in his eyes: 'Your display of power doesn't fear me, tell me Azrael do you fear it? Do you fear death?'

Azrael frowned, he wanted to say something but he couldn't think of anything to say. 'I activate my Field Spell!' Jonathan roared: 'I activate Umiiruka!' The moment the Field Spell entered the Field Slot the water around them started to rise, the small bay the two halves of the broken ship laid in was flooded, the two ship parts started to float in the water now Azrael stood on one half and Jonathan on the second half.

'Next I Summon Double Shark.' Jonathan continued, the water started to ripple then a man-sized, blue shark leaped out of the water, it had fins on its back and belly, a double tail and if you looked closely it had two pairs of eyes. (1200- 1700 ATK) The shark landed back in the water now only its fins stuck out of the water.

'Thanks to my Field Spell Double Shark is now strong enough to take down your Egg Head!' The fins quickly moved toward the ship, then the shark leaped out of the water snatched Egg Head from the ship and dragged it under water.

(Azrael: 7900) - (Jonathan: 7200)

'Say Azrael, Double Shark isn't called Double Shark for nothing, it can attack twice!' Again the fin moved in, the shark leaped out of the water it wanted to bike Azrael, the demon simply rose his hand and grabbed the sharp by its nose. 'You should try harder.' Azrael said as he pushed the shark away, the creature turned around and slapped Azrael with its tail, the demon leaped backwards and landed perfectly on his feet.

(Azrael: 6200) - (Jonathan: 7200)

Jonathan saw Azrael grinning: 'I must thank you for this attack! When I take a Direct Attack and Gimmick Puppet Shadow Feeler is in my Graveyard I can Special Summon it at the cost of 1000 Life Points.' Azrael took a card from his Graveyard then he played it, next to him a creature of nightmares appeared they were two blue mannequins standing on their arms and legs, facing each other their heads were connected by some black goo-like stuff. (1000 ATK)

Then a black mist came from Azrael it was sucked up by the black goo-like stuff.

(Azrael: 5200) - (Jonathan: 7200)

'It is my turn again.' Azrael grinned, he slowly drew his card, suddenly lightning flashed, then it started to rain, wind started to blow creating waves on the ocean surface. 'When my opponent controls a Monster and I only control Gimmick Puppet Monsters I can Special Summon Gimmick Puppet Magnet Doll!' A metal puppet-like doll appeared, its joints consisted of yellow-colored orbs. (1000 ATK)

'Now I build the Overlay Network!' Azrael shouted, the swirling void appeared, Shadow Feeler and Magnet Doll changed into a black orb then the disappeared inside the void, Azrael showed the back of his hand in dark-purple the number 15 appeared on his hand: 'The darkness of the void, fill my veins with rage! Xyz Summon, Rank eight! Grind my enemies into dust, Number 15: Gimmick Puppet Giant Grinder!'

out of the swirling void a gigantic, black, humanoid-looking puppet appeared, it was around fife-times as big as an average man, the most terrifying thing was the gigantic hole in its chest around the sides of the hole were multiple gears ready to grind anything to dust, the number ''15'' was visible on a headband the giant wore. (1500 ATK: 2 ORU)

'Now I Equip my Giant Grinder with Xyz Unit which gives an Xyz Monster 200 Attack Points for each of its Ranks.' Azrael explained while he slowly placed the card in his Duel Disk, sparks appeared around Giant Grinder. (1500- 3100 ATK)

'Next I shall Summon Gimmick Puppet Des Troy!' Azrael quickly played another card, this time a creature that could best be described as horse-like creature made up of hundreds of small dolls melted together. (1200 ATK) 'And I Equip Des Troy with Axe of Despair!' Somewhere in the mess of melted together dolls the twisted and creepy-looking axe appeared in its back. (1200- 2200 ATK)

'Des Troy attacks Double Shark then Giant Grinder attacks directly!'

Des Troy bended backwards in a unnatural way then it smashed axe-first into the shark, then Giant Grinder stretched its arms, thin wires shot out of its fingers they wrapped around Jonathan, the wires cut in his skin, he was yanked forward, then Giant Grinder moved back his arm and punched Jonathan the seemingly live-less body plunged into the ocean.

(Azrael: 5200) - (Jonathan: X)

Azrael slowly walked towards the edge of his half of the ship. 'Yeah, that was to be expected, he held out longer then expected.'

Azrael turned around, he took a pager from his pocket: 'Crump, it's me the pirate has been dealt...' Azrael stopped mid-sentence as he heard some splashing behind him, he slowly turned around, out of the water rose a gigantic shark-shaped submarine, (2400 ATK: 2 ORU) on top of it stood Jonathan he was drenched and had lost his coat, he was bleeding from several wounds caused by the wires Giant Grinder had caught him with.

(Azrael: 5200) - (Jonathan: 3600)

'Crump I'll get back to you, seems that pirate came all the way back from hell to haunt me.' He put away the pager.

'Tell me how did you survive?' Azrael demanded.

'Simple.' The pirate stated: 'When you Monster pulled me in I grabbed a few cards from my hand and played them in quick succession, first since you had two Monsters I got to Special Summon Eagle Shark, now that I controlled Eagle Shark I Special Summoned Panther Shark, since they were both Level five I Xyz Summoned the Rank five Shark Fortress, since Shark Fortress is a Dark Monster Umiiruka has no effect.' Jonathan concluded.

Azrael stared at Jonathan: 'I must admit pirate, you are tougher than I thought, seems I have to put in some more effort to make you stay dead.'

Jonathan looked at the cards in his hand he ignored Azrael. 'I activate Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy Xyz Unit!' Jonathan played the Spell card, a water typhoon quickly appeared the Equip Spell was washed away, Giant Grinder became weaker. (3100- 1500 ATK)

'I activate the Effect of Shark Fortress I Detach one Monster so it can attack twice!' One of the orbs circling around the monstrosity disappeared. (2- 1 ORU)

'Shark Fortress attacks Giant Grinder!' Jonathan shouted, a round garage-like space under the gigantic submarine opened, a torpedo was launched, the missile homed in on Giant Grinder, it exploded but the giant puppet stood firm. 'So it can survive one battle per turn? Then I attack it again!' Jonathan said, a second torpedo was launched from Shark Fortress again Giant Grinder stood firm.

(Azrael: 3400) - (Jonathan: 3600)

'You cannot destroy my Giant Grinder pirate.' Azrael chuckled: 'Giant Grinder is a Number Monster, you might have never seen one only those with special abilities can control them, now a common effect all Numbers share is that they can only be destroyed in battle by other Numbers.' Azrael explained.

'In that case I Set one card and I end my turn.' Jonathan stated, the reversed card appeared vertically on his half on the ship.

'It's my turn.' Azrael said, slowly he drew his card.

'I use the Effect of Giant Grinder, by Detaching a Monster I can destroy all other Xyz Monsters on the Field then players take damage equal to the Attack Points of the destroyed Monsters!' (2- 1 ORU)

One of the two orbs disappeared in the headband of the Number, then its fingers opened Shark Fortress was pulled closer to the grinder in the chest.

(Azrael: 3400) - (Jonathan: 1200)

Jonathan leaped off his Shark Fortress he saw his Monster got violently destroyed by the giant puppet.

'You won't escape me again pirate.' Azrael gritted through his teeth.

'Giant Grinder attacks directly!' Jonathan barely landed on his feet on hs half of the ship then the gigantic fist of Giant grinder punched right through it. 'I activate Draining Shield!' Jonathan shouted, a barrier appeared around him then the fist hit Jonathan sending him flying, Jonathan landed on one of the ship pieces floating in the water.

(Azrael: 3400) - (Jonathan: 2700)

'You have got to be kidding me! You managed to survive this turn? Well I'll finish you off next turn, but for now Des Troy attack directly!'

The creepy horse creature jumped on the pieces of the ship to reach Jonathan, the pirate on his turn rushed over at Des Troy, he then jumped on the creature's back but not before the Axe of Despair cut Jonathan's leg, Jonathan landed right in front of Azrael, the latter roared and leaped backwards landing on top of the ship's cabin.

(Azrael: 3400) - (Jonathan: 500)

'So Azrael, what do you say, the real Duel starts now?' Jonathan said.

'I agree, the real Duel starts here.' Azrael replied, then Jonathan drew his card. 'I activate Pot of Greed.' Jonathan stated, the happy pot appeared on the Field and the pirate drew two cards. 'Next I Summon Rescue Rabbit!' A small rabbit appeared on the Field, it wore a safety helmet, safety goggles and a pager around its neck. (300 ATK)

'Now I Banish Rescue Rabbit so I can Special Summon two Mad Lobster from my Deck!' The small rabbit disappeared then a portal opened and two man-sized lobsters leaped out of it. (1700- 2200 ATK x2)

'Now I build the Overlay Network!' The two Mad Lobster changed into a blue orb then they disappeared into the black vortex. 'Mighty warrior, defender of the sea arrives! Xyz Summon, come forth Rank 3 Black Ray Lancer!' Out of the water came a strong-looking warrior, it floated in mid-air the warrior had no legs but small wings where its legs would be, it had two large wings on its back the creature wore full, black armor and it held a spear in its hand. (2100 ATK: 2 ORU)

'Your Number is impressive Azrael, I must admit that, but it is still a Monster.' Jonathan removed one card from under Black Ray lancer. (2- 1 ORU) 'I use the Effect of Black Ray Lancer to negate the Effect of your Giant Grinder!' The warrior flapped its huge wings, Giant Grinder was knocked back and landed in the water. 'Now I can destroy it even without a Number! Black Ray Lancer attacks Giant Grinder!'

Giant grinder tried to stood up but Black Ray Lancer threw its spear through the eye of Giant Grinder the monster disappeared under water where it exploded.

(Azrael: 2800) - (Jonathan: 500)

'Now I Set one card facedown.' Jonathan continued, the card appeared vertically on the Field. 'I end my turn.'

Azrael grinned he quickly drew his card. 'I activate my own Pot of Greed.' He stated, quickly Azrael drew two more cards. 'Next I use the Effect of Gimmick Puppet Des Troy to to destroy itself!' Jonathan watched in horror as the doll heads that made up its body grew in size and finally exploded.

'When Des Troy is destroyed I can Special Summon up to two Gimmick Puppets from my hand.' Azrael took two cards from his hand: 'I Special Summon Gimmick Puppet Dreary Doll and Gimmick Puppet magnet Doll!'

First a present box appeared a female-looking doll sat straight up in the box, it had long blond hair and it wore a slight-pink dress with a dark-pink vest over it, white leggings and pink shoes also she wore a bandage covering her right eye. (0 ATK) Next to it the doll with the yellow joints appeared. (1000 ATK)

'You know pirate, I control at least one Gimmick Puppet so I can Special Summon a Magnet Doll from my hand!' Azrael played the last card from his hand, a second of the Magnet Dolls appeared next to the first one. (1000 ATK)

'I create the Overlay Network!' Dreary Doll and the two Magnet Dolls changed into black orbs, then the vortex opened up. 'Majestic Warrior from hell, come to the world of the living to show your might! Xyz Summon, Rank eight! Number 88: Gimmick Puppet of Leo!' Azrael started to scream slowly the number ''88'' appeared on his right hand, quickly his screams turned to laughter as the power of the Number entered his body, out of the vortex stepped a noble-looking knight with a lion's head, wearing heavy gold and white armor with a matching cape and sash it held a silver sword with a golden hilt in its hands, its number was visible on its right pauldron. (3200 ATK: 3 ORU)

'I Detach one Monster from Gimmick Puppet of Leo.' Azrael stated, one of the three black orbs disappeared into the sword. (3- 2 ORU)

'Now Leo attacks Black Ray Lancer!' The noble warrior heaved its sword then charged in. 'I activate Negate Attack!' Jonathan shouted, the barrier appeared around him then Gimmick Puppet of Leo slammed into it.

'In that case I Set one card.' Azrael stated, the reversed card appeared behind Leo. 'I end my turn.'

Jonathan drew his card. 'This Duel will be over soon Azrael, I Detach a Monster from Black Ray Lancer! To negate the Effect of your Number!' Two gusts of wind send Leo backwards. (1- 0 ORU) 'Next I Equip your Leo with Darkworld Shackles!' A ball and chain appeared around Leo's right leg, it was a spiked ball with a devilish face on it. 'This reduces the Attack Points of the Equipped Monster to 100 and it deals 500 Points of damage to the owner of the equipped Monster during my Standby Phase.' Jonathan quickly explained, sparks appeared around Leo then the warrior sank to his knees. (3200- 100 ATK)

'Black Ray Lancer attacks!' Jonathan's Monster threw its spear. 'I activate Astral Barrier!' Azrael's Trap card spun around. 'Now your attack becomes a direct attack!' Azrael shouted, Leo leaped out of the way of the spear, Azrael on his turn stopped the spear with his bare hand, then a wind blast created by Black Ray Lancer hit Azrael, he leaped back a bit landing nicely on his feet.

(Azrael: 700) - (Jonathan: 500)

'My turn.' Azrael growled, he slowly drew his card. 'Leo gets its Effect back during your End Phase, your Black Ray Lancer has no Overlay Units left, so I change my Leo to Defense Mode.' Gimmick Puppet of Leo knelt down and crossed its arms in front of its chest. (2300- 100 DEF)

'Then I Detach one Monster from Leo.' Azrael continued.' He removed one card from under his Monster. (2- 1 ORU)

'I end my turn.'

Jonathan drew his card. 'Attacking has no use now, my Black Ray Lancer cannot defeat your Leo, but you do take 500 Damage because of Darkworld Shackles!'

Suddenly lightning struck Azrael, the demonic kid took a few steps back, smoke came off his clothes.

'Now I change Black Ray Lancer to Defense Mode.' Black Ray Lancer disappeared under water, he shielded itself with its spear. (600 DEF)

(Azrael: 200) - (Jonathan: 500)

Azrael started to laugh. 'To think I nearly lost here! Unbelievable! I Detach the last Monster from Gimmick Puppet of Leo!' Azrael retrieved the last card and placed it in his Graveyard. 'The Duel is over! When all Monsters are Detached from Gimmick Puppet of Leo through its own Effect I win the Duel!' Leo stood up.

'What!' Jonathan gasped.

(Azrael: 200) - (Jonathan: X)

Gimmick Puppet of Leo leaped off the ship then nosedived through the one remaining half, breaking it apart Jonathan saw it coming and he jumped to avoid the attack, Azrael on his turn leaped onto his monster's back, Jonathan looked around for a place to land but Azrael grabbed the pirate by his neck, Jonathan grabbed Azrael's arm, the pirate tried to kick Azrael.

'And you think I would let you go after all the trouble you caused for me?' Azrael chuckled, Jonathan wanted to say something but he couldn't as Azrael tightened his grip. 'You know at first I just wanted to kill you, then I wanted to squeeze the life out of you.' With his other hand Azrael took the pager. 'Crump.' Azrael said: 'Tell Grodus the mission was a success, I got the life of that pirate in my hand.' Azrael tightened his grip a bit, Jonathan tried to breath, Azrael moved the pager to Jonathan. 'Talk.' The demon said. 'You can kiss my hairy...' Jonathan started followed by a lot of ugly words. Azrael put the pager away then he brought Jonathan right in front of his face, Jonathan spat in the demon's face. 'Your last act of deviance.' Azrael calmly spoke then with a swift motion of his wrist Jonathan's neck broke with a loud and sickening snap, Azrael let go of Jonathan the pirate's body plummeted into the cold, dark water.

'When Azrael dropped me he did break my neck but I survived, I couldn't move, when I fell in the water it didn't take long for me to sink, I felt the cold water entering my lungs, after that only cold and darkness, I don't know how long I was adrift there but I woke up in a small round hut, to my big surprise I could move and I felt no pain, it was like heaven I stepped outside into a small village full of other souls, it was some kind of purgatory, I saw your friend Geno turned out a group of Celestians looking for Dimentio's body stumbled upon me, they took me to a place called Starborn Valley, Geno told me that I was clinging to life, I was dead but alive at the same time only existing in that realm.' Jonathan stopped, he took a card from his pocket and showed it to Mario it was Number 17: Leviathan Dragon. 'Geno brought me to Star Heaven, they restored my life and I became a Celestian in return for giving me my life back I now spy for Star Heaven.'

Mario scratched his chin, he didn't know what to say. 'So Jonathan, why are you here at the time I need a ship, Star Heaven can't help me on this quest.'

Jonathan laughed: 'Ay mate but I am on a mission as well, Keelhaul Key is home to a very old pirate spirit named Cortez, I was tasked to break the curse on that spirit.'

Next time:

Mario and the group arrive on Keelhaul Key only to find the island overrun by spirits and King Boo is in the middle of it all. ''Battle for Keelhaul Key'' Coming next.
