Captain Crow addresses his crew " Today we will take the prize that we rightfully deserve, a merchant ship that is taking goods to the king" he says proudly. The crew yells in agreement and rushes to their battle stations and takes aim on the merchant ship. Captain Crow raises his hand and is about to say fire when something stops him short. His master mate Jones yells " Captain look out behind you". Captain Crow turns around just in time to see a shift in the air as a golden cutlass appears out of nowhere and runs him through, he falls silently. Master mate Jones sees this and rushes to help. He engages in a sword fight with the golden sword that had killed his captain. The sword moves faster and with more skill and with in moments the fight is over. Jones looks down to see his own cutlass protruding from his chest. He draws his pistol and fires at the space behind the golden cutlass and the blade falls along with the unsettling thump of a body. Then Jones falls to his knees and wrenches the cutlass from his chest and prepares to fight the dozens more floating swords that had appeared and started attacking the crew during Jones's fight with the golden cutlass. He stands up and stumbles forward to join the fight when another blade appears and cuts his head from his body. As his body hits the deck a horn sounds from somewhere on the ship. The floating swords are replaced by pistols that begin firing on the crew. The bullets tear into the men and tear them to pieces. A few try jumping off the ship but they are shot to pieces before they hit the water. The entire crew is dead in less than an hour. The cutlasses cut into the ship carving three bone chilling words, The Lost Souls.
