I hear a loud boom from the top deck, along with sounds of agony from my crew's soul crippling shrieks. My room shakes furiously. I dash up the metal stairs to the top deck, adrenaline circulating through my bulging veins being pumped by my racing heart. To my horror, I see a large hole in the siding of the ship, the punishing waves thrashing against the boat, creating a rocking motion. Seconds later, out of nowhere, a large, red club strikes the starboard end of the ship, sending me flying forward and causing me to bang my head against the large, wood mast. As a high-pitched tone rings inside my head from the heavy blow, I realize what is happening.
