The 'Tail' of the Great Captain Sushie

Chapter 16: Chance Encounter

Sushie and her crew draw near the passenger ship and prepare to board

Sushie: Alight laddies, remember your roles. Board the ship, take out the pirates, rescue the passengers, and get this ship running again.

Kassie: You've got it Captain. The three of us will get that ship sailing by the time you're done.

Sushie: Good. You three, get over here and grab on.

Goompatrick: Uh, why?

Sushie: Let's just say I hope ye have a good grip.

Koopa Kent: Why would ask tha...

Sushie: Advance!

Sushie and her crew jump overboard into the water while Goompatrick, Koopa Kent, and Buster hold on for dear life. Once in the water, they swim over to the ship, line themselves up, and use Tidal Wave to get atop the ship. Once onboard, the Bloopers notice them.

Blooper Pirate: Who the shell are you!?

Sushie: The name's Sushie. Captain Sushie.

Blooper Pirate: C-C-C-Captain Sushie!!?!? Get her!

Sushie: Attack!

Both sides engage in combat with Goompatrick, Koopa Kent, and Buster getting some sweet revenge on the pirates that threw them overboard

Koopa Kent: Thought you could kill us, huh? kicks a pirate

Buster: Jokes on you, I'm already dead! slaps a pirate

Goompatrick: You messed with the wrong Goomba you sons of Broozers! proceeds to headbonk multiple pirates in a row

Sushie: I'm headin' up to the control room. Clear this ship of any remaining pirates!

Sushie's Crew: Aye aye, Captain!

A bit earlier

Kelpbeard: forces the control room door open to confront Silver

Silver: Ah, you finally made it. I was expecting you here a minute ago.

Kelpbeard: Curse these stupid passenger ships and their uniform natures. But that's not the point here! draws his sword Hand over the compass!

Silver: Oh, you mean this compass? brandishes the compass You know, most Cheep Cheeps would kill to get a compass like this you know. I mean, as you said, this ain't no ordinary compass. The compass of legend as they say, gifted from the infamous Gooper Blooper to the highest ranked Blooper pirate on the Mushroom Kingdom seas. A compass with the sole purpose of tracking the location of Gooper Blooper himself. That is the legend, is it not old friend?

Kelpbeard: You and I know damn well that's what it does. So hand it over!

Silver: I mean, seriously. If we can't even kill Gooper Blooper, what's so bad about knowing where he is? Unless, you guys are scared.

Kelpbeard: What are you talkin' about?

Silver: The way I see it, you Bloopers are afraid of us. Afraid that we might actually best you in this war. And the only reason you've stayed afloat for so long, is because of Gooper Blooper himself. So I'd imagine losing someone as important as him would upset the balance in the sea, allowing the Cheep Cheeps to finally prevail against you folks. He's basically your crutch. And once someone knocks it away from you, you'll all collapses. And sink to the bottom of the ocean, never to be seen from again.

Kelpbeard: Oh yeah, ... well so will you! advances towards Silver with his sword, but Silver blocks it with his

Silver: Please, that's how I'd like to go out anyway. Just not today.

The two continue to fight in the control room before Silver gets the juke on Kelpbeard and locks him inside

Silver: Enjoy the view old friend, I've got a ship to steer. starts to run off but runs right into Sushie

Sushie: holding her head Ow, ow.

Silver: trying to get his stuff reorganized Sorry about that, I didn't see you there.

Sushie: gets her stuff reorganized I-It's fine. Real...ly... gets a good look at the fish she just ran into Say, you wouldn't happen to be...?

Kelpbeard banging on the door from the other side

Silver: Uh, how's about we continue this conversation outside?

Sushie: Is there, something going on in there?

Silver: Trust me, it ain't important. Let's go.

Sushie: Sounds like a plan.

The two rush back to the main deck
