As the ship sailed through the clouds a joyous melody played as the three pirates, and Banjo, their newest recruit sing a merry pirate song.
Captain Bill: Life out on the sea, is not the life for me.
If I were a fish I'd wish for wings,
And fly away so free! ARGH!
All: A pirate life for me, a pirate life for me!
What good is a pirate if his ship is sunken in the sea?
Mr. Pint: Those scallywags be tricky,
We fell into their trap.
The crew they slay, we flown away,
Escaping a dirt nap.
All: A pirate life for me, a pirate life for me!
What good is a pirate if his ship is sunken in the sea?
Banjo: A great and evil king,
He captured all my friends.
The thing to do is run him through,
And then he'll meet his end.
All: A pirate life for me, a pirate life for me!
What good is a pirate if his ship is sunken in the sea?
What good is a pirate if his ship is suuunkeeen iiiin the seeeeaaaa?!
ARGH!
Meanwhile, Gruntilda draws closer to the island where Nocturnis lays.
"Ha, I'm almost finally there. I'm so happy I got rid of that bear!"
But Gruntilda's happiness was interrupted by joyful noise coming from a flying pirate ship right behind her.
"Who dares to be happy aboard that thing? I'll whip up a spell and then they'll never again sing!"
Banjo, Captain Bill and his crew end their song as they inch closer and closer to the island.
"Land ho!" Mr. Pint said excitedly, pointing at the land below.
"Argh, we be almost at our destination!" Captain Bill laughed, thinking about all the treasure that awaits.
"Oh boy!" Banjo clapped, happy that he was one step closer to saving his friends.
The pirate crew's happiness didn't last very long though. A big green blast hit the middle of the ship, putting a hole right through it.
"Heeheeheeheehah!"
The pirates turned their heads upward to see a witch, laughing at them on a flying broom.
"Uh oh." said Banjo nervously.
"Argh!" Captain Bill shouted "Who be this blasted witch and why did she put a hole through my ship?!"
"Grunty is the name. You stand no chance. Unsheathe your sword and let us dance." Grunty laughed.
"Argh, if it's a fight ye want it's a ye'll get! Argh!" shouted Captain Bill, angrily waving his sword in the air.
"Crazy old fox. You're just no match. Maybe instead of yapping you should repair your ship's scratch!"
As soon as Grunty said this monsters, armed with cleavers and swords climbed out from the hole in the ship. Gruntilda laughed as they attacked the pirate crew and tore apart the ship.
"Get offa here ye ugly landlubbers!" screamed Captain Bill as he knocked one of the monsters off the ship and to the sea below.
"I see you have company, so I'll just go. Goodbye and good riddance stupid Banjo!" laughed Gruntilda as she flew to the island.
"She's getting away!" Mr. Pint screamed.
"No she's not!" said Banjo, knocking two more monsters off the ship and steering towards the island.
Meanwhile...
In Spiral Mountain the Zombie King watched the battle rage on through his flame.
"I must get that book before they do! "
The Zombie King clenched his fist and called upon one of his zombie servants.
"Fly Kazooie!" the Zombie King ordered, pounding his fist on the arm of his throne "Retrieve that book before they do! Fly! FLY!"
Kazooie took off into the air and headed in the direction where Nocturnis lay.
"I will not be beaten by a worthless bear!"
