Storyline
There was once a time when there was darkness spreading widely over each and every ocean. War was breaking all around; Skellies vs Pirates. Skellington numbers were increasing dramatically over the seas. Then, Captain Lamoctros decided to unite the sailors of Midnight on a voyage to stop the menace. Until this, all pirates would work for themselves and only themselves. Their Grand ship bumped into the El Diablo on it's voyage. This ship was full of people working for the Skellies. Captain Lamoctros and his Crew managed to defeat and even kill them. The El Diablo was sunk, and light started streaming through the darkness. Now, pirates have learnt that uniting is the key to success. But there is one Downfall. The El Diablo has risen with an army of skellies and seek revenge on any crew stronger than their Bait...''
