As the island sleeps and the guards watch over the shore The Flying Dutchman dives underwater to hide as the crew make their way to the island. 

Sleeping in her bed Mazzra clutches onto her book while the candlelit on the bedside table flickers as a bit of the wind comes through sending a slight chill through the air. The silence around the town is a normal night while the storm rages on within the island. 

Guards on the tower scan through the shore checking for anything unfamiliar before turning back to have a conversation to the guard next to them. ''So what are you planning to do with your date tomorrow?'' a guard says nudging his mate. ''Ahh well I don't know yet, maybe take her for a meal and see how it goes'' the other one replies as he winks to the guard, unkown for them the cursed crew made their way walking towards the barrier. Suddenly bells started ringing and made the guards jump into action seeing where the bell is ringing to see them fire at people below. ''We're under attack!'' they start firing at these beings looking like fish. 


-Bells ringing-

As the island wakes up to the noise of bells ringing, and guards running down the street Mazzra hears her dad run down the stairs and exit their home, quickly getting up and seeing whats is going on, opening the window she sees guards running towards the shore and women and children running the opposite side, suddenly she sees Jolly Old quickly heading the same way as the women were going. Quickly putting on her clothes she runs down the stairs and catches up with him. 

''Wait Wait!'' Mazzra shouts seeing the man look at her and grip onto her, ''yer better hide good lass, we're under attack, I felt this feeling when I had my encounter of... yer better hide lass I wish you luck'' he says while shoving her behind some barrels, ''is it Pirates?'' she shouts seeing him turn back and nod. Excitement crawls into her veins, Pirates coming and she doesn't know what is going to happen, but nerves hit realizing the tails of what happens to women and girls. Holding her knees to her chest she watches through the gap of people running, screaming women and children. 

Moments later she sees guards running and firing whatever is behind them and suddenly an outline of a man covered in barnacles, and other things block her view, gasping she holds her breath as her body shakes with fear, 'monsters not men' the words play through her mind what Jolly old said to her ''barbaric, kill anything insight' suddenly her body jolts making the not so full barrel move, making the pirate turn and face her way, ''*snorts** look over ere lads we have someone here'' one of the crew says pulling the barrel out of the way with one arm like it was nothing, a slight squeal escapes Mazzra's mouth as she tries to scurry away, but the pirate already grabbed her. She gets to see him and feels his slimy wet, cold hand grab her by her arm, ''let go' she says trying to break free, fear taking over. Glancing she sees his face, piranha-like face laughing at her struggle. ''what should we do to her'' she hears another say, ''I know what I would like to'' she hears her capture say while pulling her close to him, she quickly kicks his leg making him groan and let go, taking that chance Mazzra makes a run for it but soon bumps into another fish like pirates chest, the barnacles scraping her face and arms, as he grabs onto her, ''leave her alone guys it's only a lass'' the pirate says making her look up and gulps as his face is of a hammerhead shark and his teeth glaring at her. ''please let me go'' she says as she stares at his one eye. 

''A woman begging is pathetic'' the hammerhead pirate says dropping her hard onto the ground while waving the crew to leave, as she gets up and looks she sees the monster crew ''the crew of The Flying Dutchman'' she says not realizing she said that out loud the hammerhead stops and turns around. ''What yer say wrench'' he says making his way back to her, as he gets closer Mazzra backs up, ''your the crew of The Flying Dutchman'' Mazzra says again making him grab her and pull her face to his. ''To say yer a lass, your sure know who we are'' he says shaking her as her head hits a wall next to her she feels herself fall into unconsciousness while he still shakes her for answers.
