Episode 4: Swashbucklers Ahead! Into Im Zollhafen
Daniel was already up ready to do another mission here in Im Zollhafen, just by the look of this place you can tell it's had better days. This place has gotten really bad now that swashbucklers are in here, if any real pirates are here Daniel knows that the next street could have more danger in there. Marcus Ekkrhardt was waiting for a marine to show up here, once Daniel arrived his heart as able to relax a bit knowing help arrived.
|Oh, thank the stars! I thought someone would never come out here to help out, you've did a lot of work in the street my brother lives in. Oh you have to be careful in this place its really tough out here, I heard someone is giving commands in a secret street now far from here. If its true we've found one of the shadow five's workers here, we can afford them harming this peaceful place anymore. I know that your investigating the shadow five yourself, yet I wish to help you out as much as I can out here. First I noticed there is one secret house down here and three towers, something tells me that someone is hiding in that secret house. However in order to find out we need to get some clues, first we need to fight some of those Sandlings fencers that are roaming the street. I know they might have something that can lead us to that secret house, be warmed these guys are nothing to play with one bit. They are quite fearsome so make sure you have your friends with you, oh don't worry I'm going to be right here when you need me.| Daniel went off to find some fencers.
This place was a little bit bigger than the last street, so Daniel was careful not to get himself lost out here. Yet he was also careful not to get into a trap, for knowing pirates they like to ambush you when you lest expect it. Once he found the Sandlings he was ready to fight a couple of them, yet I think they were ready for him since they saw him coming from a few feet away. This wasn't going to be an easy battle since they were fencers, so he braced himself for a good scratching he was going to get. After a hour he finally found something on a fencer, going back Marcus Ekkrhardt he wanted to see if he knew anything about it.
|Oh this must be the map to the secret street the baddies were taking about, wait I was wrong its a little map to a key they got on them. It does lead to the secret house that I was talking about earlier, however there is one problem...There are three towers that the key could be hiding in. It seems that we falling for there trap this time with the towers, I should have been smart knowing they would do this little trick. Well I guess there is only one thing to do now my friend, your going to have to go to all the towers to find the key. Once you get the key unlock the secret house I bet we'll find the hidden street, that's probably where most of them will be hiding. However we need to focus on the towers first, going to all the towers and try if you can get in. If its locked go to the next one to see if its open, the one that's open is probably where the key is located. You might even find the baddie working here in this street, but the head honcho is the one we are after right now. He is probably the crew member for one of the shadow five, your going to have to be careful about that I'll help you with that street. Yet for the meantime we need that key fast to get into the secret house, don't worry I know you can get this done.| Daniel left to check on the towers.
Walking down the street he was able to keep an eye out for trouble, he was at the first tower trying to see if he could get in. Yet it was locked so he headed down to the third tower to see if it was locked as well, his hunch was correct the tower was locked as well from the distance. That meant that the open tower was the second one to be exact, he was about to go inside to see what he could find. However before he did that he had his brigade with him just in case of trouble, as expected there were some enemies in this tower...buccaneer and a swashbuckler to be exact. Oh this wasn't going to be a an easy battle from the looks of things, Daniel going to have his work cut out for him. After an hour and a half he finally got the key from them, not only that he got the name of the person controlling this street. Going back to Marcus Ekkrhardt he wanted to know what he can make of this, once he read it he knew it was one of those ravens.
|Oh, thanks a bunch! Now we know who's been leading this tiny little group out here, his name is Barry Darkwing he been a pain in our side for weeks. You don't know how annoying that little bird is to us, however I wouldn't be too cocky around his brother Quincy Darkwing that's in the secret street. I have a hunch that Quincy has been the one controlling most of the stuff here, so I bet he's in the secret street letting his brother do his dirty work. Yet lets get back to Barry he isn't a pushover either so be careful with him, you never know when he's going to backstab you in a battle. He cheats so make sure your buddies know how to deal with him, once he's gone we can finally get some rest out here. Use this key to open the secret house down the street from here, once you defeat him then we can get to his brother Quincy...be careful now you have a good bit of scratches on you.| Daniel left the area to find the secret house.
Daniel knew he had gotten banged up in battles here, however one time he saw his father with cuts and bruises when he was a marine. Most of Seala's marines will tell you that your getting a days work in, so after a good nights rest he'll be better for the next day ahead of him. Once he got to the secret house he put the key in to open it, once he got inside they saw Barry with a couple of men with him. This wasn't going to be easy one bit, those two brothers really like to attack you twice when your not looking. However Daniel has to stay focus in order to beat him, don't be fooled by his silly look Barry Darkwing is know for being a good fighter along with his brother. After a hour and a half Daniel was able to defeat him, he did cheat a lot so he will expect it even worse from his brother. Going back to Marcus Ekkrhardt he told him the good news, Marcus was quite relieved knowing that he was gone from the picture. Yet they weren't done with there quest just yet I'm afraid, now that Barry is gone all they have to deal with now is that no good Quincy...and trust me Quincy us far more merciless than Barry is.
|Thanks for everything you have done for us out here Daniel, now that this street is clear I can rest a little bit easier. Yet your work here is not don't quite yet I'm said to say, there is one street that has gotten hit so hard its dangerous. Well I'll offer my assistance there with you in the street of Am Leystapel, trust me that place is crawling with swashbucklers everywhere it would be impossible to do it alone. It would also be impossible to sent you there since its already sunset now, it would be a ambushing mayhem is your went there in your condition. Your all banged up you'll make a easy target for a swashbuckler, and that's something that I'll hate to watch when someone gets killed by one of those guys. Don't worry in this street we have a resting area here, the nurses can help you with those nasty cuts and bruises. Well I'm going to rest up myself I'm a bit worn out since helping you out here, I'll be in tip top shape tomorrow come time to help you with Am Leystapel. Well you better head off to get some good rest you've earned it tonight, and thank you for helping my brother out as well it's great to have met you buddy.| Daniel left the area to rest up from his injuries.
Patrick closed the book on another chapter as he left for school, what will happen in his fight with Quincy is yet to be seen...perhaps waiting might be our only option.
