Chapter 18: The Immortal Pirate Cervantes

The ship carrying the Immortal Pirate Cervantes came closer and closer when the warriors noticed another figure on the boat.

"Voldo, so he was working with Cervantes." Raphael Said

"Only won of them can get soul edge though." Kilik said

"If they get past us" Link said with fire in his eyes, he wanted revenge as much as Lyric did because although he didn't know Leon personally he knew he was a hero and was also a warrior trying to save his people.

"They won't we won't let them, It ends now!" Lyric said teeth gritted in frustration.

"But how do you kill what's immortal?" Xianghua said

"The symphony remember." Kilik reminded her

"Do expect for one of us to die. Besides Cervantes wouldn't wait for her to finish"

"Well it's not like we're all on good terms now anyway, so what makes you think she'll save us." Raphael said

"She saved you before when you guys were on bad terms, she's not like you Raphael." Link said but Raphael just smiled cynically

The other ship finally came to a halt and the ships were side by side. The warriors face to face and all was silent until Cervantes spoke.

"Take the boat men." And the ship's crew came storming onto our hero's vessel. Next Cervantes stepped down onto the boat voldo at his side. Behind the warriors a bloody scene was taking place as their inexperienced crew was forced to fend off Cervantes' blood thirsty men.

"Look at what I've found, the one who got away, I thought you took care of her voldo. It looks like you've made some friends…" He said recognizing Taki, the woman who beat him long ago. "Well I have something for you, voldo." Voldo reached behind him and produced the severed head of her fallen comrade "It was the least I can do but don't worry you'll see him again soon, Now that I'll be reliving you of your pieces of soul edge." He unsheathed his swords and voldo jumped into attack mode, the battle began.

Voldo began to fight with Link and the other's started to fight off the enemy crew members. Voldo lead with an aggressive assault slashing at Link but Link blocked the attacks with ease. Voldo bent over backwards and thrust himself at Link who stepped to the side. The two stood still staring each other down. Talim slowly crept behind voldo but he sensed her presence and back kicked her giving Link an opportunity to attack, he brought his sword through his heart and voldo was dead.

"Talim are you okay." Link said helping her off the ground

"Yes but we have to help the others lets not waste time."

Cervantes and Lyric were entangled in fierce battle, they blocked each others fierce blows one by one. Cervantes was not giving out easily and Lyric was fueled by her rage to push forward and win. "You've gotten better but you're still no match." He said slashing her left arm. She refused to recognize pain and thrust her sword into his belly. He laughed "That tickles" she took back her sword and went back taking out her fire arrows and began shooting rapidly at him. He dodged them and charged at her but she quickly blocked with her shield then she slashed him with her sword. He grabbed her arm and brought her in a head lock she grimaced. "What too tight" he laughed Lyric bit him and he took his hand back, she took the opportunity to escape and she took out a light arrow and stabbed him with it.

"Awwwwww, what is this trickery."

"These are Light arrows they cut through darkness, I can't kill you but I will make you suffer." Cervantes began to unsheathe his sword but Lyric ran up on him bringing him to the ground then she stood on top of him. She took out her bow and light arrows and rapidly shot him. "Good night Cervantes." She shot one last arrow through his forehead and he was unconscious, the battle was over. "He won't stay this way let's dump him at the bottom of the sea. First tie some weights on his feet."

Mitsurugi tied the weights on and Link and Lyric threw him over.

"He'll survive," she said "but he's no longer my problem. Here she threw a piece of soul edge at Talim who caught it "That makes four"

"When did you get it?"

"Just now, I'm surprised that was it."

"He was probably waiting for us to collect the shards and do the work for him." Taki said

"Yeah" they were silent as they began work with disposing of the bodies and praying for the crew members they lost. The warriors were still divided and Siegfried's desire to reclaim soul edge became stronger 'four shards are here and the warriors are divided, nothing will stop me now nothing."

Lyric and Link began discussing something in Hylan. The others watched and tried to figure out what they were saying because of the tones and body signals. When they were done they went over to the others. Link started "We, Lyric and I, well we've realized that time is running out at home and we can't ignore it anymore. The sword is important but we have no doubt that you guys will destroy it but when we reach Korea we'll go on our own way and head to the Gobi alone."
