Mission 3 [Voice, eventually Action]

Adell, I'm ready to spar if you are. Just tell me where you want to do this.

If anyone else is in the mood for training, I'd be happy to help if you don't mind fighting someone who uses swords. I need any opportunity I can get to become stronger, and I'm sure many people here feel would likely feel the same.

You beat a master swordsman, huh? This will be interesting...

I'm at the barracks. You can stop by whenever you're ready.

I'll be right there!

[He'll show up at the barracks soon enough, armed with a cutlass.]

So how do you want to do this? Do you want me to stick with one sword, or use all of them?

[Despite saying this, it's clear that she isn't holding any swords, nor is she carrying any with her. Of course, Guybrush doesn't know about her magic, but we'll keep that a secret.]

Uh, you normally use more than two?

Depends on the situation. Usually, I stick with two, but some of my armours let me use more than two at the same time.

Your armor has... extra hands?

Not exactly. The swords that aren't in my hands mainly float behind me, although I can control where they go.

Uh... let's just stick with two swords for now.

Okay.

[In a puff of smoke, two swords appear in Erza's hands. She swings them around a few times before deciding that these are the ones she will use.]

I'm ready to start whenever you are. How long do you want to fight until? Forfeit, unconsciousness, or once we reach a certain number of hits?

[Guybrush holds up his sword.]

Let's go with forfeit.

That sounds good. You can start, seeing as I'm the one who made the challenge.

[In that case, he decides to start with an old standard. He slashed with his sword.]

You fight like a dairy farmer!

[Erza parried the blow, but... Wait, what did he say?]

What are you talking about? I haven't started fighting yet!

[Huh? No one's ever complained about that before...]

O-oh yeah. Let me try that again.

[Trying to force her sword aside.]

My wisest enemies run away at the first site of me!

Really? You don't look all that threatening to me.

[Erza pulls the sword that she used to block away from Guybrush, while at the same time, swings her other sword at his side.]

[Guybrush leaps to the side, to avoid the attack and put space between himself and Ezra. Fighting an opponent with two swords was proving tricky...]

My sword is famous all over the Caribbean!

Can't say I've heard of that place, but there are a lot of places I haven't heard of before.

[Erza held up her swords in a defensive stance, unsure of what Guybrush's next move was going to be.]

[Guybrush is trying to make the decision himself. Maybe the old three-headed monkey trick? Nah, that never works. He takes a quick glance around in hopes of finding something useful, while talking to Ezra to keep her occupied.]

Oh, the Caribbean? That's the chain of islands I'm from. Great place.

[Maintaining her stance, Erza decided to talk during this lull in the sparring session.]

So where did you learn to use a sword?

I was trained by the legendary Captain Smirk on Melee Island.

[Was Smirk famous? Guybrush doesn't really know, but it hardly matters. Guybrush steps forward again, swinging his sword.]

[Erza jumps to her right to avoid the swing and tries to slash at Guybrush's side in retaliation.]

[Guybrush hops back, barely dodging the attack. But Erza makes a gash in his jacket.]

Hey, this is my favorite jacket!

Trust me, if there's one thing I've learned from my job, it's that you can't worry about the state of your clothes when you're fighting.

[Erza runs forward, slashing at either side of Guybrush.]

[Guybrush blocks one sword, but takes a small gash as he tries to avoid the other. He grunts in pain.]

I can see that you don't worry much about clothes. Maybe you ought to start.

What's the point in doing that? Clothes are just that, they can be repaired easily; in combat, your own safety is much more important.
