Isaac and I were in the shipyard, the only thing there was more Jiang Shi, all set to attack me. 

"There are so many." I complained while dispatching them, some were close enough to almost rip my neck open. Thankfully, Isaac was behind me and ensuring my safety. He had the face of an innocent man, but his ruthless attacks destroyed the bodies and head of these undead freaks.

"That seems to be the last one." Isaac smiled.

Something bothered me, all of the Jiang Shi seemed to ignore Isaac and come straight towards me.
I eventually pointed this out.

"Well they seem more interested in flesh than nuts and bolts." Isaac chuckled.

Memories of Aria being something robotic came to my mind.

"Your just like Aria?" I asked.

"Well a bit of a difference in programming, but yes I am a robot." He answered honestly. "Aria has a bugged program that was given to her by her creator, that's why she always smiles."

"Samuel didn't make her?" 

"No he didn't." Isaac looked towards the dark rolling sea. "Her creator's file had been deleted from the G.I. systems, all files pertaining to him are gone. So that's why no one can fix her laughing."

"I get it now." 

A ship suddenly appeared in near the docking area. It seemed old and creaked as the waves pushed about it. Once close enough I saw the Jiang Shi poured from it.

"What the hell!" I exclaimed. 

They all aimed at me again. With Jerub tightly clutched in my fingers I began slicing through these things, Isaac was along with me in this short skirmish. From the ship I heard a deep laugh, I turned to see a man whose body was cladded in a red attire.

"Is that a pirate?" I was confused.

"Amazing!" Davy exclaimed. "You must be the ones to have killed Mary Ann and that psychopath, tell me how did you both do it. We furies are immortal and stronger than normal people. Wait... your not normal..." he leapt from his ship and landed near me and Isaac with his sword drawn. "Still it'll be bad if I let you all go."

"Darren!" A voice called me.

On board the eerie vessel was Japheth, his eyes wide with desperation.

"What are you doing up there?" I shouted. "Get down here and help us."

He pushed against what seemed like an invisible force.

"I... I can't leave..." He strained. 

"Your apart of my crew." Davy sighed. "Until you beat me your stuck on that thing."

"Then how about I do it!" I growled, my hands poured with inky darkness. 

"Interesting power you have there. " A smile crept into Davy's lips. 

He vanished.

Shivering steel was closing in on my neck, Isaac came and punched Davy's hand back.

"He's... He's fast!" I got away from him. 

Davy was now fighting with Isaac at such an amazing speed, Isaac's body wasn't able to keep up and sustained damage.

"Now for the head."

Davy's sword was coming closer to him once more, but Isaac's uppercut sent him into the night's air.

"Get him Darren!" Isaac shouted.

I leapt upwards to Davy's spiraling body, I saw his sword coming down at me once more. Thanks to Jerub I was able to stop it and sent a good blow to his stomach, slamming Davy into the docks breaking it apart.
