Weapon: Wicked Sword "SoulEdge" Style: Possessed The mighty Spanish armada held supremecy over the Atlantic Ocean. But sometimes they were not enough. That is where the privateers came in.

He once told his son, Cervantes: "A sailor must always be strong and gentle." Young Cervantes was proud of his father. He was devastated when his father died at sea. Phillip's ship had moved alongside an English ship in order to plunder it. Unbeknownst to him, it was a ruse; an English warship in disguise. Their cannon shells shattered the Spanish galleon. wiping Captain Leon from history forever. The young man received his father's hat,his only remains. He swore: "This is where his allegiances to the crown have gotten him! I will be against all countries! I'll become a pirate!" And thus, Captain Cervantes the pirate, was born. He started a reigne of terror across the Atlantic in his ship, the Adrian, showing no mercy to anyone, even those in the invincible armada. One day, a messenger of the "Merchant of Death," Vercci, entered Cervantes' haunt, an inn called the Black Tail. He told the pirate of Vercci's search for the legendary weapons, "SoulEdge." "This Vercci wants my aid, does he?" The messenger promised an exceptional reward for the recovery of the swords. But the pirate did not like the idea of working for anyone. What to do?... Cervantes finally accepted the offer as a lark. For a year, he searched for Vercci. Finally, he came across some information. At a secret antiques auction, an English man made a successful bid on a "strange article." The ship carrying the man and the article was setting sail. Cervantes made plans to intercept the ship. There was no conclusive evidence that this was "SoulEdge," but then why should a pirate pass up such an oppurtnity? The sea was stormy as the Adrian set sail after the passenger ship. "Get ready, me hearties! There she blows! Helmsman, hard to port! Ready the cannons...fire!" The boom of cannons echoed across the stormy sea. Columns of water surrounded the passenger ship. The Adrian came alongside. Cervantes raised his cutlass, rallying his bloodthirsty pirates. "SoulEdge is our prize! All else goes to Hades!"

"SoulEdge" took their souls, each and everyone of them, not even leaving destroyed husks behind. Cervantes felt that he was regaining himself, the more souls he took. But he realized in horror what he had become. "Must I follow the will of this cursed sword? No! I must finally become its master!" Cervantes has regained control. If he is to survive, he must destroy the wicked "SoulEdge" who has controlled his body for so long! Time and space warped as the two met for a decisive battle!
