Well, there is some good news and some bad news now going on in my life. The bad news is that I was given a tip by Aria and Daddy Banks that there was another player in this game trying to kill us. Daddy Banks told me that Aria was under attack by orcish pirates and that they said something about their captain wanting us sirens dead, keyword: SIRENS! Whoever this "captain" is, knows of our ability as sirens. Daddy Banks also had news for Mango Mad, saying that Wakanda was gonna be invaded by Sonata's droids. Mango Mad then said that he'll talk to Ghostbuster about some reinforcements to defend Wakanda.

The good news is that Ariel Kraken, the girl who kidnapped me earlier at Camp Everfree, is not that bad of a person once you get to know her. As I got along with Ariel in the brig, she revealed to me more about her life, most of it involving the Arch-Siren. Ariel noticed something was wrong every time she mentioned the Arch-Siren, and asked me what's wrong. I almost forgot to tell her when we first met that the Arch-Siren is my mother. Ariel's mind was blown the moment she heard that, and said that if I told her that earlier, she would have been more reluctant to kill me. But seeing as I told her now, that made me a closer friend to her. So close, in fact, that when Ariel gets out of the brig, she'll happily serve me as a crew member on my own pirate crew if I get one.

Meanwhile, in the Captain's Cabin, Mango Mad was calling SF_Ghostbuster on my cell phone that I let him borrow. "I'm not sure I can talk right now. I'm quite busy." Ghostbuster said as he was in a meeting with other PBB members and military leaders. Mango Mad then told Ghostbuster about the impending battle of Wakanda, and Ghostbuster then said that he'll discuss it with his fellows at the meeting right now. After a few seconds about who would rush in to help, Cupcakekitty, a fellow PBB member, said that she'll try to get some help from her home universe. As soon as Mango Mad gets the word that help is on it's way, he hangs up on my phone and sees a strange fog up ahead. He can't help but go investigate.

As theCursed Shellsails through the white mist, the crew come across a battleship roughly the same size as the Cursed Shell, but don't seem to find anyone on board. The ship was built with dark woods and rusted metals. The barnacles of the ship reached all the way up to the gun deck. The sails had holes that were burnt through. The entire ship as a whole smelled burnt like a campfire. Mango Mad asked me to follow him to the dingy and the both of us sailed over to the ship and hop on over to the other ship. As we sailed over, we found the name of this mysterious vessel to be called theSinging Spaniard, and we docked our boat at the side.

As Mango Mad and I scoured the ship for anyone at all, we opened up the hatch to get below deck, only to find tons of orcs ready to ambush unsuspecting victims. Mango Mad and I were almost surrounded by orc sailors, but we were covered by the crew of the Cursed Shell, who readied muskets, bows and arrows, and fired their ranged weapons to hit unsuspecting pirates. This gave us enough cover to fence one pirate at a time. During all the chaos, I heard one pirate yell "Get the Siren" before being shot in the arm. This must be part of the same crew that attacked Aria earlier! Mango Mad and I escaped to the Dingy as we sailed back to theShell.

The moment the Dingy was back with theShell, we sailed as far away from this mysteriousSpaniard as we possibly can. the moment we reached 50 miles on the sea, we saw that theSpaniard was following us, and faster than we expected. Mango Mad told his crew to get below deck to ready the cannons. TheSpaniard's crew did the same and fired their cannons. The Spaniard suffered more damage from the cannon fire, but her crew was more ready to swoop in to capture our crew. TheShell's crew had experience with a blade, but the Spaniard's crew was completely ruthless with their fighting skills. The only thing we could do was surrender.

As our crew surrendered, we were all tied up by our hands and forced on our knees as we would finally figure out who this mysterious "Captain" is that is trying to kill us, and knows full well of sirens. As he boarded the deck, I couldn't see with my head forced to stare at the deck of theShell, but the voice of this captain was one that scared me, because it was not one I'd thought I'd see. "Hello there Adagio" The captain said in a sarcastic tone, "I believe we're even now. You almost took the entire school under the spell of the sirens, and now I have your friend's crew as my prisoners. Isn't karma a funny thing"? I stared up to see the face that matched the voice. The only thing I could do is look up and ask him one question: "Since when did you become a Pirate, Flash"?
