It truly was a chaotic day to be living the Pirate's Life for Adagio and I. Adagio was still hurting after what Flash did to Mango Mad, and I still feel like I should help her. I just dunno how though, other than to make her feel better. Not only am I trying to be a good friend to her, even though I did kidnap her once, but Adagio and I are trying to survive, and Flash Sentry is having his ship, the Singing Spaniard, fire at our ship, trying to kill us all. Adagio then commanded her crew to board Flash's ship to get them to stop firing at us. They then swung on their little ropes and did just that, swing on over to the Spaniard. Funny enough, it was easy. But now comes the hard part.

The pirates from Middle Earth were having a hard time fighting Flash's Pirate Orcs as they were just plain brutal with their fighting style. Luckily, I hired in pirates from other universes as well to help fight of the Orcs. I remember even seeing a Faunus pirate from Remnant come in to knock a gunner off of the railing. I dunno if it actually was the Faunus I hired or not, but that was such a good thing to see during the fight though. It wouldn't last long though as Flash Sentry would come down onto the deck and start killing off our sailors, regardless of which universe they came from. I was struck with fear the moment Flash started his spree, but Adagio saw this as an opportunity.

Adagio then grabbed a rope as I grabbed onto the helm, and Adagio landed straight in front of Flash with her cutlass in her hand. Flash Sentry was prepared for this moment, because that's why he's even here in Middle Earth: to destroy Adagio. As they continued their duel, both of their eyes lit up with rage every clash their swords made. Adagio still felt pain for Mango Mad and what Flash did to him while i could see a similar pain in Flash's eyes, though I could not tell what that pain was for him. Despite who's rage was more powerful or not, Adagio knocked Flash's sword out of his hand with the flat of her blade and brought him on board our ship to keep him prisoner. But she still had to fight on the Spaniardbecause the Orc Pirates were dealing heavy damage on our men.

As our ships battled, before our very eyes, we saw something that we thought would be impossible (Funny coming from a literal siren), a ship ascended from the ocean floor and on the seas. The ship was littered with corals and seagrass and seaweed and soaked in water. The ropes from the ship were swinging onto the Spaniardto hold everyone at sword point. These strange sailors looked like fish monsters as most of them sported deathly white skin. There was only one of them who did not look anything like a fish, and it was a shock to Adagio: Mango Mad was alive. This exited Adagio so much she ran on over to hug him, while it infuriated Flash. His eyes burned like the yellow fires he made in the seas, as a ring on his left hand started blazing. A few of our sailors jumped into the sea in fear of the power this ring was causing. What kind of power was this ring giving him.

This, however, did not stop us from continuing the battle, as the Captain of the ship Mango Mad came on, a man named Will Turner, commanded Mango Mad to fight off Sentry. Now outnumbered, we all pointed our swords at the lonely captain as he finally surrendered and ceased his attack. Chris, captain of the ship Adagio was temporarily captaining, said that if she wanted, then she could keep his ship. I decided to step in, saying that with repairs and a bit of a makeover, then Adagio can captain the Singing Spaniard. I dunno why I felt like saying that, but it would be a bad idea to destroy this ship. Adagio said that it was a brilliant idea, as she instantly made me her first mate. Felt a little fast to be honest, but I'll take what I can get at this point.

As we thought our fight with Sentry was complete, I felt like we were forgetting something. It was at this moment, however, that we knew, we screwed up. They came out of the nearby cliffs like animals, and yet strategized like soldiers. Robots with a glowing red presence surrounded all of us, even though there were too few of them to outnumber us. One of the robots, specifically one with yellow paint of it, pointed it's gun at Adagio and announced "You are all under arrest in the name of Sonata Dusk"! Some of the robots replied with "Roger, roger." as they slowly tried to handcuff us. A blue armored girl came up from the side of the ship and shot the yellow painted robot, destroying it. The rest of us followed suit and destroyed the rest of the droids.

The armored girl takes off her helmet. I still dunno who she is, but Adagio seems to know, as the girl tells Adagio that Aria is heading towards a trap and that we need to help her. We all agreed that we have to help Aria complete her goal, as Mango Mad takes control of the mission once again, mainly because he was supposed to be taking control in the first place. Mango Mad, in the meantime, had a nice conversation about where Mango Mad was, explaining everything that happened. Adagio was almost about to cry after thinking about how he almost died, and that if he died, it'll be like losing the siren gem all over again. Mango Mad, after seeing those sapphire blue tears, comforted her and told her that it's gonna be all right. But for now, we have a robot army to bust.
