I stood beside the masked rooster, known as the Free Ranger, as he steered all of us to Boot Hill. Everyone on deck was either getting their weapons ready or watched out for any ship that might surround us.

"Look, ahead", Ridolfo said pointing, "It's the same ship that took Tonka away"

"Speaking of ship, did you lot happen to have my ship?", The Free Ranger asked.

"OH!" I said, "We…umm…left it in the skies so we could save you first", I said nervously.

"You what?!", The Free Ranger said in shock.

"I truly am sorry, w-we'll get it back once we defeat the duck of death. Promise",

"If it's still there that is, otherwise, you guys owe me a new ship",

"I was afraid this kind of thing would happen", Rebecca said folding her arm, "Let's pray luck is on our side for once"

I'm with Rebecca on that note. But there's no time to pray, we're already here.

"Alright everyone!", Eli said after putting the boarding board down in to the dock, "Things are going to be pretty crazy, so let's not do anything we might regret"

"Way to bring up the motivation, Captain", Betty said sarcastically.

"Whatever the case may be, we all must be careful", I said walking down the stairs, "We may not know what that duck has in store for us, but with our numbers, skills, and teamwork, we can stand a chance"

"See Eli, THAT'S how you do a motivational speech", Betty said.

Eli just smiled, rolled his eyes, and shook his head at her. I smile and blushed a little, I didn't think it was that good.

"Okay then, let's go kick some butts!", Mari said rising an axe Kai gave her.

Ah Mari. Always filled with too much energy, "Mari, remember"

"Rright, still grounded", Mari said putting the axe down.

I gave her a pat on the back then walked off the ship. We went around took the Free Ranger's lead and followed him up the hill. When made it to the top, we saw-

"My, how unexpected", said a duck covered in shadows, "Free Ranger, still alive I see. And what have we here? You brought company"

It's him, the duck of death! And standing beside him was an Armada, but dress in different clothes.

"It appears our enemies come too soon - my gambit here is thwarted", Said the armada, " I must withdraw"

"YOU!", Rebecca shouted.

"Pardon me, but do I know you", the armada questioned.

"You should know after everything you did, Deacon!"

"You…know who he is?", I questioned.

"I have no time to linger on past action. Destroy them", Deacon said before turning around and walked to his ship that appears from below the hill.

"No don't you dare walk away from me!", Rebecca shouted taking a seat forward.

"*Bang* if you care for your life, I suggest you stop where your at", English Bill said after firing his gun.

Out of nowhere, a huge clockwork ship rose from below. Deacon lift his cane then smashed it towards the ground, causing a thick, black smoke that surrounded him. He disappeared then reappeared onto the ship.

"COME BACK HERE YOU COWARD!", Rebecca shouted.

Deacon just turned around and walked away as the ship started flying away. As for English Bill, he whistled with his fingers and from his ship…some….kind of big creatures jumped off then surrounded him.

"I don't know where you got this group from, but it doesn't matter. Now, prepare to die"

"Let see how you like our fair game, Bill", The Free Ranger said spinning his guns then pointed one at English Bill.

"Everyone!", I shouted, "Spread out and attack"

Everyone nodded their heads and went on ahead. All except for Mari, I understand why. English Bill's creatures roars then ran toward Eli and my crew while Bill stayed behind. We have to take him out before he summons more of those creatures.

"Mari"

"Yea Tara"

"We have to get closer to Bill", I said looking at her, "My magic is useless from this distance"

"Alright, let's go then", Mari said getting her axe ready.

"Wait", Said the Free Ranger, "I'm going with you, I have a score to settle with Bill"

Mari and I agree then started running forward towards Bill while trying the dodge the creatures and our friend. Unfortunately, one of the creatures jumped in front of us. Mari and I were ready to fight, but suddenly, The Ranger shot it between his face with his gun. It covered its face while roaring in pain.

"Mari, trip it, now!"

"On it!", Mari said running behind the creature then knocking it off its feet.

The huge creature face first onto the ground, knocking it unconscious.

"Nice work", Said the Free Ranger

"Thanks, but we ain't done yet", Mari said looking behind her.

"Right, let's go", I said running around the unconscious creature.
