Episode 5: A showdown and a getaway! Richard Hawkeye escapes

Daniel was already up with Sergeant Swiftwillow to deal with Richard Hawkeye, this was probably be one of the biggest test he will face. Knowing full well that Richard is a swashbuckler doesn't make it easy, the harder part is that he will indeed cheat on you if you try to hit him. They were quiet so they wouldn't get spotted easily, once they were at the place they snuck in by a secret entrance. Sergeant Swiftwillow wanted to wait until everyone of his minions were gone, that way there was no way he would call for back up. Also he blocked the secret entrance so no minion would get in from there, once everyone was gone Daniel and Swiftwillow came out with their brigades in to. Richard Hawkeye looked back knowing he was in trouble, he was surprised that these marines ruined his plans once more.

|I've got to hand it to you little marines your smarter than you look, you never take the opportunity to leave us at peace for day at least. Well at least I thought Joey would be ready with my stuff soon, yet he hasn't responded back so something tells me you both got to him. My plans are ruined out here and so is my mission in Ambersberg, you thought all of my minions were gone...I'm afraid you are a tad bit wrong on this one. You see my second in command is in here with me as well, he'll be my distraction so I can get away from you marines. You've may have stopped my plans here in Ambersberg for the moment, but I'm not worried you'll never beat in Starabia. Even if you did the shadow five will have there fun with you during the battle with them, don't you see a victory against us is almost impossible against us marine. Daniel your the one who's been messing with the plans of Avery, this my friend doesn't bode well for you. Yet with your death will bring much joy to him when your taken out, this will make us have one less problem-| he was cut short sharply by Daniel speaking back.

|If you think we'd let Captain Avery have that map then your wrong, we do mess with your plans only to ensure the safety of the spiral. You don't know the dangerous power that map has Richard, yet you play with it like a toy not knowing the consequence you could unleash from it. You don't see the error in your ways that is why we must stop you, Ambersberg has had enough of you out here anyway.| Richard chuckled under his breath at Daniel.

He was just a marine a goody two-shoes marine to be exact, they knew nothing of the pirate ways they had built. Nor did they know the pirate code of their existence, yet there would be no way he could afford them coming to Starabia. Richard knew full well that Starabia was the easiest shortcut to Skull Island, so he called on some of his men to fight these marines. As they came in Richard got on his ship to Starabia quickly, this left Daniel and Swiftwillow to deal with these guys now. Yet they cant allow them to cause any more trouble, plus the items they have belong to the queen which the palace isn't far from here. This wasn't going to be fun since their plan was to get Richard, yet sometimes they had to settle to fight other enemies. After two hours they finally defeated them, though it was bitter sweet victory for them since they didn't get him. Although Richard is gone they can give back the items to the queen, going to her palace she thanked them for their hard work.

|Oh thank you men for helping us out with those thieves, they have been causing trouble ever since they got here. I know that Richard Hawkeye got away from you back there, but at least his goons cant cause anymore trouble. Well I know that you think that he's gone but I know that he must be in Starabia, I've seen a spy to search from the Shadow Five. He told me that their hideout is in Starabia, not only that he also told me that he saw one of their messengers go to Skull Island where there leader is. I must bet that is where the final battle with the pirates will be, but for the mean time let us focus on the present now. You need to get to Starabia to stop them from completing El Dorado, however you need an orange Starstone in order to get there. Your Grand General should have one for you to use to get to that place, thank you all for your help you've deeds here will never be forgotten in Ambersberg.| Daniel and Swiftwillow left the throne room.

As the sun wasn't about to set Swiftwillow sent a letter to the Grand General, before the day ends Sergeant Swiftwillow was talking to Daniel about his work here.

|Well done, Daniel! You may be small but your quite tough for your size, although he got away we manage to arrest them and send them to Seala. I wish we could tell him we got Richard but I guess we can wait, don't worry we'll get him in Starabia if you have the right team with you. I shall stay here to make sure no one causes more trouble here, yet I have a feeling darker evil is coming from Skull Island. Well Daniel you better get to Seala and tell the Grand General that our mission is complete, he'll tell you your next mission once you get their...Dismissed!| Daniel saluted as he went to his ship back to Seala.

Patrick closed the book on a great Arc as he put the diary down, what will happen to Daniel is yet to be determined...perhaps its best for us to wait and see.
