"Well Mikey... what the hell are we going to do now?!" Lucy shouts as the captain's decoys start rushing towards them.
"Defend yourself, I'll try to take care of them." Mikey shouts back. "But can you?" Lucy asks with a concerned look. "Yeah, I am sure I can." Mikey answers.
It would be easier if I could have that sword which I gave Lucy but she is going to need it more than me. Mikey thinks to himself.
Mikey attacks one of the decoys, three more surround him. He starts fighting all of them at once. He can't dodge all of their attacks as they are completely synchronized with their attacks, however he eventually defeats one of them.
And that's when another decoy shows up. Mikey has more and more trouble as the fight drags out. He's been fighting for some time now and is slowly running low on stamina. He defeats another decoy and another shows up.
[Your ship is here]
Mikey's green spectral ship appears next to the big husk ship and his captain's hat appears on his head too. His ship is almost as big as the captain's ship. Mikey gets closer to Lucy while fighting off the decoys. Lucy is fighting the decoys while making sure to keep her distance and using only spells to deal with them.
"Lucy!" Mikey shouts at her and points in the direction of his spectral ship, Lucy notices it. They both nod at eachother and make their way towards it. Mikey spawns a spectral pirate and orders it to steer the ship in their direction.
Mikey and Lucy are jumping over to Mikey's ship, and that's when the real husk captain shows himself. He appears right above Lucy, she notices him but can't get away from the line of his attack as she is literally midair.
Lucy's hair changes white and she creates a wind spell that quickly moves her out of the way of captain's attack, making her dodge it. Because of this, Lucy loses her balance and she is about to have a nasty landing on Mikey's spectral ship. Mikey was looking this whole time, he is still falling so he can't catch Lucy. That's a why he instantly summons two more soldiers and orders them to catch Lucy before she falls. The spectral pirates catch her.
"Where is the real captain?" Mikey asks. "He's in the water. He's swimming towards us. He will catch up I think." Lucy answers. (She is looking at the husk captain with her attribute)
Husk Captain's decoys start jumping over the board to Mikey's ship aswell. Mikey summons ten more spectral pirates who clash with the decoys. The pirates are trying to hold their own, but the captain's decoys eventually overpower them. The spectral pirates manage to destroy two decoys while rapidly losing their own numbers.
While this short fight took place, Mikey and Lucy came up with a plan and the Husk Captain climbed the ship and is back on the deck.
"Ready?" Mikey asks Lucy. "Yeah." Lucy answers.
Mikey summons ten more spectrals and makes them protect Lucy. Meanwhile he charges towards the real captain and all of the captain's decoys start fighting Mikey's spectral pirates. The reason why Mikey ordered the spectral pirates to protect Lucy was to buy her time for her to use her spell.

Lucy's hair changed red and she created a fire dragon above her. The dragon rushed towards Mikey and Captain. Mikey knew this was gonna happen as it was a part of the plan.
[You have activated an ability of the "Freestyle Fighter]
Mikey jumps high in the air, the fire dragon attacks the husk captain. The husk captain barely defends himself against the dragon's attack. The dragon then explodes, the explosion injures the husk captain badly.
Mikey comes flying at him like a meteorite, the same way he did against Claudius.
(CRASH!) Mikey's attack creates a big shockwave. The husk captain's hammer goes back to normal (white color). His body changes back, his decoys dissapear. He's left defensless at Mikey's hand.
"Ah, you got me, even at my full power." The captain says. "Who are you? How can you talk?" Mikey asks the captain out of curiousity."Before I tell you my story, let me ask you something young man." The captain says. "What's your name?" He asks. "Mikey, my name is Mikey Hunt." He answers. "Do you come from this planet? You don't right? You're from Earth I assume." The captain asks. "Wait, how do you know that?" Mikey asks in a shock. "It's simple, I come from Earth too. I suddenly appeared here one day for no reason and decided to make the most out of it. I became stronger, gathered a crew of people that come from this planet and led them in adventure, but one day..."
(15 years ago) "CAPTAIN! WE CAN'T SAVE THE OTHER SHIPS! THIS MONSTER IS TOO MUCH FOR US!" A crewmate says. "Damn it! EVERYONE! WE ARE RETREATING!" The captain shouts. "No you're not." A monster appears behind the captain. Its appearance is of a beautiful woman, she looks like a siren. The monster from fantasy books that lure seamen with their beautiful singing and eat them alive.
"For trying to steal the Heart Of The Sea, you will suffer a fate worse than death!" She shouts as she casts a spell on the captain's ship.
(Back to present)
"And that's how me and my crew became zombies. As I was the most powerful one, I retained my humanity to a level that I could still talk." The husk captain says."But why did you attack me and Lucy then?" Mikey asks the captain. "I was testing you, I needed someone stronger than me to learn about my story. Go into my quarterdeck, I have treasure there and a map. A map that points to the location where I was heading." The captain says. "You mentioned something about a treasure in your story too right? What is this treasure?" Mikey asks."I don't know to be honest. However, everyone says that the treasure is something that EVERYONE needs in their life. No matter how much you think your life has been fulfilled, this treasure will bring something new in your life or something that you needed. The Heart Of The Sea is its name." The captain says. "Anyways, go attend to your friend over there, she seems like she's greatly injured." The captain adds as he is about to breath out his last breath.
"Wait! Before you die, I want to ask you one last thing. What's your name?" Mikey asks. "Peter Jackson." The husk captain says as his body dissapears along with his hammer.
Mikey smiles.
Peter Jackson a.k.a PJ. The one who saved Mikey by leaving a bunch of resources on his island. Crazy to think that Mikey actually met him this early on and was essentially the one to kill his own savior.
Mikey quickly rushes over to Lucy, she keeps casting a cold water spell on herself to cool down her body. The fire dragon that she created burned her body badly.
"Lucy! Are you okay?!" Mikey says as his ship starts to slowly dissapear. He quickly jumps over to Peter's ship with Lucy in his hands.
"Yeah, I am good, it just burns that's all. What were you two talking about?" Lucy asks Mikey. "I'll tell you later, but first, let's look into the quarterdeck. He said that he left something there for us." Mikey replies. "Sure, let me just cool myself down a little bit more."
(A few minutes later)
Mikey and Lucy come up to the quarterdeck as the sun starts setting.
They enter the quarterdeck...
