Author's Note: As I see from the reviews, y'all enjoyed our little trip on
the Queen Fury....that, my friends is called sarcasm right there. If you
thought the Queen Fury was bad, just wait till you hear bout our trip on
the Phantom Ship!
Disclaimer: I don't own LoD. Too bad.
Chapter 20: Creepy Dead Guys
(The strange ship sailed with torn sails, singed masts, rotting deck, and a deformed figurehead. It nearly glided above the surface of the water and it looked more like it would pass right through the Queen Fury, but instead its hull became lodged in our starboard side. The sailors quickly scurried to their stations while us Dragoons, Commodore Skip, and Ricky examined the ship)
Skip: Look! It's a ship from the Mille Seseau royal fleet!
Me: Oh my god this is...
Boberto: Uh, Tina? You're drooling toothpaste.
Me: Oh? Oh, sorry *spits over the railing*
Wesley: How ladylike
Timoty: Dude, have you seen Ania?
Wesley: YOU are actually concerned about ANIA?!
Me: Yeah, aren't you the person who complains her the most (next to me, of course)?
Timoty: I'm not saying that I'm CONCERNED about her....I just thought Wesley (who IS concerned about her) would like to know that she's no longer on the Queen Fury.
Wesley: Then where is she?
(And then we hear a high-pitched scream coming from the other ship -- which, by the way is called the Phantom Ship)
Wesley: That's Ania! *Jumps aboard the Phantom Ship, followed by everybody else*
(On the Phantom Ship, Ania is confronted by three sword-wielding skeletons. Death by skeletons? Not if she has some ghost knights protecting her)
Ghost Knights: *draws their swords and destroy the skeletons, then disappear*
Ania: Wait! Come back, who are you?!
Wesley: Ania, are you alright?
Ania: Yeah, I'm fine...thanks to some ghost knights
Timoty: *rolls eyes* Please, ghosts don't exist
Me: Oh, believe me ghosts are very real in this game....Wesley, you remember Kimberly don't ya?
Wesley: Oh yeah...but Ania, how did you get here?
Ania: I...don't know. I just kinda woke up here.
Timoty: Hearing voices and blacking out? Man, you really have problems...and I'm not just talking about in the game...
Ania: *smacks Timoty*
Nikole: *cupping her mouth* Deeeeeeeeeaaaaaad meeeeeeeennnnn tellllllllllll nooooooooooo taaaaaaaaaaleeeeeessssssss......
Me: *jumping around singing* YO HO YO HO A PIRATE'S LIFE FOR ME!!!
All: *raised eyebrow*
Me: *cough* Sorry. I had a Nikole moment.
Nikole: *still cupping her mouth* Deeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaad meeeeeenn tellllllllll noooooo taaaaaaalesssssssssss...
Boberto: You already said that
Nikole: I know! So, when are we gunna go explorin'?
Wesley: Explorin'?! Oh, no. No no no no no.
Me: Awwww, is widdle Wesleykins scared of the big bad ghosts?
Wesley: Don't ever talk baby-talk EVER AGAIN. It was already disturbing enough to see you hopping around singing that damn song...
Me: You mean this song? *Circling Wesley* YO HO YO HO A PIRATE'S LIFE FOR ME!
All: YES!! THAT SONG!! DON'T EVER DO THAT AGAIN!!
Me: *smirk* See, Nikole...always trying to ruin our fun...
Nikole: *nods*
Ania: You never answered Nikole's question: when are we gunna go explorin'?
Wesley: YOU wanna explore?
Ania: Yeah...there's something that's drawing me to this boat...
Me: There better not be a Virage on this ship or I swear I will.....
Leroy: Serenade it to death?
Me: The Giganto with really bad English is quicker than you, Wesley! Why can't you come up with comebacks like that?
Wesley: Shut up. Let's just...go explorin'
(And explorin' we did....in one cabin, we came upon a chest with a numerical lock and a warning: "May evil come upon the person who opens this chest"...or something like that. I can never figure out the combination and after you miss it three or five times in succession, skeletons attack you. The weapon inside the chest isn't worth all the trouble, so I like to stay clear of that. You then go below the Phantom Ship's deck and find more cabins with more chests -- inside the chests are Magician Boogies that pop out, resurect some skeletons for you to fight, and then leaves. And periodically you fight Death.)
(We finally confront three Magician Boogies in the very last cabin, who are more annoying than difficult to fight. After battling the Boogies, a little wisp of a ghost emerges from the chest)
Ghost Captain: Please, see me in my quarters *disappears*
Wesley: Is that such a good idea?
(We head to the Captain's quarters, which is one of the locked doors above deck. On the way there, some of the ghost knights that save Ania reappear)
Ania: Those are the guys that saved me!
Ghost Knight 1: Bastard!
Timoty: Is that their favorite word in this game?!
Ghost Knight 1: We will never give up our Princess!
Me: Go away, we don't have time to deal with you
Ghost Knight 2: Unforgivable! Trying to trick us by using Human words!
Ghost Knight 1: Be gone, Black Monster!
Me: Wait, no!
(And the two knights charge at me, ready to attack. As soon as they touch me, they scream out in agony and disappear once again)
Me: {Dead men aren't supposed to tell tales}
Wesley: Black Monster?! You mean this was attacked by the Black Monster?! *Shakes his fist*
Boberto: But what did those knights have against Tina?
Me: How would I know? I've never seen this ship in my life...c'mon let's go see what that ghost Captain has to say. What? Stop looking at me like that! Don't make me start singing again
(Not wanting to have me break out into my Disney song-and-dance number, the rest of the Dragoons and myself walk into the Captain's quarters)
Timoty: It's empty.
Me: Did you figure that all by yourself or --
Timoty: Yes, my mommy helped me out with that one.
Me: Well, now that THAT'S settled.
Boberto: It's not totally empty -- look at that painting on the wall.
(The painting on the wall featured a woman wearing royal robes and holding a baby in her arms)
Nikole: She looks like some kinda queen or somethin'
Leroy: Kinda looks like Ania.
Timoty: Not necessarily a good thing
Ania: *smacks Timoty again*
Boberto: Oh Wesley...how's bout a little wager? To see how many times Timoty gets slapped by Ania?
Me: Boberto, I think you have an addiction
Boberto: Gamblingbling
(Before Wesley could agree to Boberto's wager, a chair appeared in the middle of the room. The chair spun around, and the spirit of a sailor faced us)
Ghost Captain: I'm glad you're here
Wesley: *gulp* You are?
Me: Be a man, Wesley
Ghost Captain: That bastard....he....followed us! All the way out to sea! And we couldn't...protect the princess....she was just a baby!
Wesley: Are you talking about the Black Monster?!
Ghost Captain: Yes...we can't die because of him. My crew and I have been wandering the sea for eighteen years, our guilt preventing us to move on to the afterlife.
Boberto: What can we do about that?
Ghost Captain: You can fight us...if you overcome us in a battle, maybe you can rid us of our guilt.
*Screen dissolves battle begins*
(This is one of the more tricky battles in the game -- what you have to do is get the five Ghost Sailors and one Ghost Captain into red, but don't kill them! You must kill them at the same time, or else they come back to life. The Captain is the one with the most health, so attack him last. Once you get all the ghosts in red, turn Wesley/Dart into a Dragoon and use Explosion [I say this because he's usually my most powerful Dragoon at the time]. If some ghosts are still standing, then just use an all-attack item and that should do it. But they like to heal themselves, so it gets frustrating after a while. And so, to the end of the battle....)
(The quarters are once again empty)
Wesley: *shakes his fist* Black Monster.....how many must he killed to satisfy himself?!
Me: Stop that! Sorry...what was I thinking?
(We further explore the captain's quarters, and find a room with an empty baby's cradle. It's still for a moment, and then it suddenly starts rocking)
Wesley: Aah! *Hides behind Ania*
Ania: You can't be serious....
*Ghost Nanny appears*
Ghost Nanny: Poor Louvia....she was just a baby, what did that monster want with her? *Sigh* If only she wasn't a princess of Mille Seseau.
Ania: It's okay, the Black Monster is gone now....everybody's gone now, you can move on!
Ghost Nanny: Oh my god! It's you! I have wandered the sea on this ship for eighteen years and finally! My soul can rest in peace knowing that you are safe *disappears*
Ania: Wait! Come back! Who am I?!
Wesley: *quivering* Look! The cradle stopped moving!
Ania: So?
(Now the boat is the one quivering)
Me: Uh guys...the boat is sinking....
All: RUN!!
(Back on the Queen Fury...)
Ricky: Engine rooms are all ready for departure, ma'am!
Skip: Very good Richard my friend...now, all we hafta do is wait for Wesley and friends....hmm, they've been gone for a while...
Sailor: Ma'am! The ship is sinking!
Skip: What?! My ship can't be sinking, it's unsinkable!
Ricky: One word for you: Titanic
Sailor: No! The other ship!
Skip: Oh good then.
Boberto: *running to the edge of the Phantom Ship* Hurry up now! Come now, ladies first! That means you, Timoty
Timoty: Not the time to be making jokes!!
(Boberto, being the gentleman that he is, ushered Nikole and Ania onto the Queen Fury, then Timoty and Leroy and himself. Wesley and I brought up the rear, and when I was halfway to the Queen Fury, Wesley lost his footing. Luckily, I quickly grabbed his hand and he dangled dangerously above the sea)
Wesley: I'm slipping!
Me: Dammit, you're heavy!
Wesley: Let go of me! Save yourself!
Me: No! I won't have that happen again!
Boberto: *to the others* C'mon, we hafta help them!
(Despite their efforts, Wesley and I plunged into the cold ocean and disappeared with the Phantom Ship)
~ ~ ~
(That same night, we washed up in a cave but Wesley still lay unconscious. I lit a fire and tried without success to sleep, keeping at least an armspan between me and the sleeping Dragoon)
Me: Wesley Wesley Wesley....the second time you've passed out, is it? *Pats his head* Oh man, this takes me back....to my days with Mateo. Ya know, you remind me of him -- both recognized by the Spirit of the Red-Eyed Dragon, kinda look the same...well, except for the hair and eyes and face and body....
*A video AND a flashback, all in one! Oh joy*
(Loud, jazzy trumpets play as seven Dragoons and their Dragons whiz by. Their final battle -- storm the Wingly capital Kadessa. Waiting for the Dragoons are hoards of Virages and the dictator himself -- Melbu Frahma)
Vincent: Melbu Frahma!!
(I already said that. There IS a reason that this is the final battle....take Kazu, the Violet Dragoon, in his fight against a Super Virage)
Kazu: You are very powerful, but then again, so am I.....I'm taking you with me, you bastard!
(And they both perish in a purple explosion)
Me: Kazu!
(The next two deaths I witness: Kimberly, the White Silver Dragoon, and Jose, the Golden Dragoon. Another Super Virage lodged its tentacles into Jose's stomach. The dying Jose struggled to keep a huge block of stone from crushing both him and Kimberly.)
Kimberly: Jose! *Draws an arrow and aims it at the Super Virage* Your death won't be in vain *fires*
(Kimberly's arrow killed the Super Virage, but the last of Jose's strength gave out and the boulder crushed the two Dragoons)
Me: Oh god!
(Also during that time, Tricia, the Blue-Sea Dragoon and Vicent, the Jade Dragoon die, but I don't see how. My attention is on Mateo, the Red-Eyed Dragoon, crossing swords with Melbu Frahma)
Melbu Frahma: You nuisance! Why won't you die?!
Mateo: You first *stabs Melbu*
Melbu Frahma: How dare you! Inferior Human!
(Using the last of his magic, Melbu Frahma petrifies Mateo, slowly turning him to stone)
Me: Mateo! *Clutches his hand*
Mateo: Let go of me! Save yourself *becomes fully petrified and falls with the collasping Kadessa*
Me: No! My friends....they're gone...it can't be! *Flys away*
*End video/flashback*
Me: *wiping away tears* Damn, this is getting too serious for my taste.
~ ~ ~
Sammi: What did ya find, puppy? *Gasp* Mommy! Mommy! There's people in here!
Dog: *licks Wesley's face*
Wesley: *jumps upright* Damn you, ghosts! I'll send you all back to hell where you came from! *Notices the little girl and her dog* Oh....*ahem* I mean -- I -- Tina, wake up!
Me: *still asleep* Mmmm....five more minutes, I don't wanna go to school....
Wesley: Tina, wake up, we're alive!
Me: Damn alarm clock *smacks Wesley*
Wesley: OW!!!
Me: *opens eyes* Wha? I'm alive?
Wesley: If you do that again you won't!
Sammi: Uh...hello?
Me: Sammi? Hey Sammi!
Sammi: *smothers me with hugs*
Wesley: You know her?
Me: I babysit her...Sammi, where's your mom? Where are we?
Sammi: She's at our house and you're in Lidieria-- what are you doing in a cave? And who's he?
Me: We nearly drowned last night and he's Wesley. Don't pay much attention to him.
Wesley: *ignore*
(Sammi, clutching my right leg, and her dog took us to her mom's hut. The small seaside town was not very exciting, and the biggest event of the season was the mayor's poker game on the ocean terrance. Inside Sammi's hut, we explained the previous night's encounter to the wide-eyed girl and her constantly coughing mom)
Sammi: Wow...you guys fought real ghosts?!
Wesley: Sounds scary, doesn't it?
Sammi: Not at all
Wesley: Well then...
Me: ANYWAY...Sammi, do you know the nearest place where a ship would dock?
Sammi: There is Fueno, but no one will go there! The Undersea Cave, that connects Lidieria to Fueno, has been infested by a Dragon! So we've basically been stuck here for six months.
Sammi's Mom: *cough cough*
Sammi: Not to mention, Mommy's been sick and there's a clinic in Fueno that could help her but I can't take her cuz neither of us can fight off a Dragon!
Wesley: We can. We'll take you and your mom to Fueno -- and your little dog too.
Me: Hey, that's my line.
Wesley: *ignore* The Queen Fury and the rest might be there.
Me: Yeah, and I can annihilate any monster that crosses our path.
Wesley and Sammi: *steps away from me*
Me: What? Don't act like I can't
Wesley: Oh, don't worry, I'm not...
(Off to Fueno. And the peasants rejoice *yay*)
A/N: I know, I did a crappy job of describing the best video in the game. I don't need reminders of that.
Disclaimer: I don't own LoD. Too bad.
