"Where did he go?" Mikey asks after the husk captain dissapears. "Behind you Mikey!" Lucy shouts.
Mikey turns around and doesn't see anything, he can only sense that there is something behind him. He instinctively dodges, the husk captain smashes the ship's floor and reappears.
"Hey! That's not nice you know? I want that ship after I defeat you." Mikey points his pickaxe at the smashed up floor, he can see the underdeck and a few zombies hiding in there, suddenly the floor starts repairing itself.
Why is it repairing itself? Mikey and Lucy both ask themselves. "Wait, Lucy, how did you see him in the first place?" Mikey asks, the husk captain dissapears again.
"You can't see him? He's approaching you from your left!" Lucy shouts. Mikey turns to his left, he once again, doesn't see anything but can feel that there is something. He dodges again and the same process as before repeats.
"No, I can't see him at all, I can only feel his presence somewhat." Mikey says as he reaches Lucy.
The husk captain who reappeared opens his mouth. "This woman, what an annoying ability, being able to see me even though I turned invisible. I guess I'll have to take care of you first!" The Husk captain says as his hammer turns black (it was white until now).
The husk captain starts slowly walking towards Mikey and Lucy. He doesn't dissapear this time. He is just slowly walking towards them. "Lucy, I'll face him upfront, try to cover me with your spells if you can." Mikey starts walking towards the Husk captain. A few nervewrecking seconds pass until they get within two meter radius from eachother. They stop for a moment, and then they start fighting at a high speed, Mikey is absolutely overpowering the husk captain, Lucy doesn't need to give him any support. Eventually Mikey knocks his hammer away. This leaves the captain wide open and gives Mikey time to smash him with his pickaxe.
Mikey hits the captain on the head and he dissapears.
"This again?!" Mikey says in disbelief. "No, look, his hammer dissapeared aswell, even though he wasn't holding it." Lucy points at the place where Mikey knocked off the captain's hammer. Lucy quickly turns around and blocks the captain's hammer with her sword. The impact is really strong and it sends her flying towards Mikey. Mikey catches Lucy and helps her get back on her feet.
"Was that some kind of a decoy? The one I defeated I mean." Mikey asks. "Most likely. I believe that depending on what the color of his hammer is, it grants him a certain ability." Lucy says."But he was able to dissapear when his hammer was white or black." Mikey responds. "I know, but that's probably just his normal skill that he can use without that hammer." Lucy adds.
The captain doesn't leave them any more time to talk as he creates another decoy and starts approaching them with the decoy aswell this time. "Can you tell them apart Lucy?" Mikey asks as the two captains approach them. "No, there's also a posibility that both of them are clones." Lucy replies. "Well, we will have to find out, watch your back!" Mikey charges towards the two captains. He starts fighting them and has some trouble fighting them at first, but he overpowers them easily. The real captain wasn't either of these two. The real one appears behind Lucy again, however she was prepared this time.

She creates a water shield which manages to slow down the hammer enough for Lucy to get away. Her clothing gets soaked again from using the water spell.
"Not bad for humans, but let's see how you deal with the third form of my Fleet (that's the name of his hammer)." The captain says as his hammer turns gray. This means that his hammer has atleast three different forms.
The husk captain grows bigger and starts running towards Lucy. "As if!" Mikey clashes with the captain, defending Lucy.
Lucy's hair changes to white as she weaves her hands around, creating an invisible air arrow.Meanwhile Mikey and Husk Captain start fighting, Mikey notices right away the change in captain's strenght. However, this is NOTHING compared to Claudius, absolutely nothing.
Mikey starts becoming faster as his attribute reacts to all this situation. Meanwhile Lucy managed to get behind the husk captain who was too focused on Mikey and managed to send the arrow at him. The arrow did quite a lot of damage and made the husk captain retreat a few feet back. It was however, too late for him.

Once again, Mikey punches so fast that the captain can't react. The captain manages to block most of the impact with his armor, but it doesn't really help, he is sent flying over the board...
A few seconds pass, Mikey and Lucy catch their breaths.
"It's finally over, we won Mikey!" Lucy says happily as she rushes towards Mikey and hugs him. Mikey is about to hug her back but notices that the husk captain isn't dead yet. He is back on the ship with his hammer in hand, his size changed back to what it was before
"It's not over yet Lucy, look behind yourself."
What happened was that after the captain got sent over the board, he literally climbed up the boat by smashing it with the hammer and using the hammer as a stepping stone. The hammer's color was white at that moment, which means that the ship repaired itself after it got smashed up. That's the ability of the white hammer."You two, I congratulate you for making me use my full power." The captain raises his hammer in the air, a lightning strikes it(the hammer). The lightning lights it on fire for a short time, after it stops burning, its true form is revealed.
The hammer is white, black and gray all at once. Slowly changing color from one side to another. The hammer is emmiting a menacing aura.
Mikey thinks to himself. White hammer, no matter what the hammer hits, it repairs itself.Black hammer. Decoys.Gray hammer. Increased stats. That's what we have to face now? All at once?
"You will now face me while I am at full power." The captain says as his body grows bigger, he also creates three decoys next to him and starts smashing the entire ship with his decoys.
The air around Mikey and Lucy gets filled with all the wood flying around and they can't quite tell what's really happening. They're standing with their backs touching in order to protect eachother. Lucy's hair is glowing brown as she creates a bunch of rocks and has them stay in the air.
The area soon clears up as the ship repairs itself automatically. Once the dust lifts up, Lucy and Mikey realize that they've been surrounded, not only that but the number of decoys has increased aswell. Right now there are eight captains surrounding them, and they don't even know if the real one is amongst them.
Lucy sends her rocks at the captains. Almost all of the rocks hit their targets but they don't exactly do much damage to them.
"Well Mikey... what the hell are we going to do now?!"
