Jake contemplated abandoning his lead to save the poor girl hurtling towards the ground. However, before he could make a decision, Harry veered away from racing towards his own ship and rocketed towards Fleur!
A small smile graced Jake's face at Harry's noble gesture. 'The kid sure was a hero, alright,' he thought to himself.
Jake continued soaring towards the mile-high warship, deftly dodging cannonballs as he approached. Finally, he reached the ship, gracefully flying over the deck and landing with a confident stance.
His eyes scanned the surroundings, taking in the sight of numerous cannons manned by actual pirate themed skeletons. Each of the skeletons carrying swords and swashbucklers.
"AND JAKE BECOMES THE FIRST TO REACH THE DECK OF HIS SHIP!" The announcer's voice echoed.
"NOW HE MUST BATTLE THROUGH THE CREW OF EVIL SKELETONS AND REACH HIS TREASURE. BE CAREFUL, THOUGH, BECAUSE THESE SKELETON GOLEMS CAN'T FEEL PAIN!"
Jake observed as he hurled an ice spear towards the nearest pirate skeleton charging at him with a sword.
The icy projectile pierced through its bony chest, shattering its ribs, yet the skeleton remained unfazed and continued its relentless charge.
"Annoying," Jake muttered, frustration evident in his voice. He quickly cast a Bombarda spell towards its head, causing the skull to explode into pieces.
However, even headless and ribless, the skeleton persisted, still swinging its blade at Jake. "Oh, come on, really?" Jake exclaimed, irritated by their persistence.
These skeletons were even more vexing than the ones in the game Dark Souls that revived themselves!
As the skeleton closed in for an attack, Jake casually raised an ice shield, effortlessly deflecting the blade. He needed to hurry up and deal with these things quickly before-
"AND VICTOR KRUM SUCCESSFULLY REACHED THE DECK OF HIS OWN SHIP AFTER A BREATHTAKING DISPLAY OF FLYING SKILLS, NARROWLY EVADING THE CANNONBALLS BY MERE INCHES APIECE!" The announcer shouted out.
"Fuck!" Jake cursed out loud, realizing that he had lost his advantage. He found himself surrounded by approximately ten skeletons, each armed with a pirate sword, relentlessly striking at the ice shields he conjured around himself.
These annoying immortal skeletons were testing his patience.
Instead of attempting to kill them, Jake came up with an idea to immobilize them. Spell circles ignited around his hands as he unleashed a blast of ice at the skeletons' feet, freezing them in place.
Although they continued their futile attempts to swing their swords, their motions appeared almost comical as Jake nonchalantly walked by, easily avoiding the range of their swinging blades.
Jake made his way towards the ship's large cabin and opened the doors. Inside, a skeleton far larger than the others caught his attention. This one was dressed as a pirate captain, Jack Sparrow hat and all, and beside him was a large treasure chest!
"Welcome, champion," the skeleton spoke, surprising Jake. "And here, you shall make a choice. You can open the chest and claim what's inside, offering only the broom in your hand in return," the skeleton chuckled.
"Wait? You want my broom?" Jake asked, confused. "Why?"
The skeleton captain let out a single laugh. "Because without your broom, how will you get back to the ground? You will fall to your death and in your undeath you will join my crew! Hahaha!" It cackled at its own joke.
"Alternatively," it continued, "we can engage in a fight to the death right now, and if you defeat me, you can take my treasure over my colder, even more dead corpse."
Jake stared at the skeleton captain for a moment, then shrugged. "That's fine. You can have my broom," he said, tossing it over to the captain. He'd just buy Filch a new one once he won the tournament and got his money.
The skeleton captain sputtered, "What? Don't you need it to get down?"
Jake gave him a sly smirk. "I'm sure I'll figure something out. I'll take that treasure now. You're not going to go back on your word, are you?
" The skeleton continued to sputter in indignation and mutter about insane wizards, but eventually relented, allowing Jake to open the chest.
Quickly, Jake rushed over to the chest, lifted the latch, and discovered a scroll of paper inside. Presumably, it was the map he needed. He swiftly stowed it in his magical inventory space to ensure its safety.
Jake couldn't help but feel a twinge of guilt for how effortlessly he completed this task, considering he didn't actually need his broom unlike the other competitors.
Well, Fleur was likely out of the competition anyway, but Krum and Harry would have to face these giant skeleton captains. In the end, that wasn't really Jake's problem though…
Exiting the cabin, Jake headed towards the edge of the ship, ready to leap and take flight back to the ground.
*Pop, Pop, Pop, Pop, Pop*
However, before Jake could reach the ship's ledge, a series of popping noises erupted all around him. Suddenly, an entire brigade of super short knights, dressed in full armor, surrounded him on the prow of the ship!
"There he is!" One of them said in a guttural voice from beneath his steel helmet. "He's the one who brought us to near ruin! It was good of us to bribe the judges to hide these Portkeys on the ship so we could take our revenge."
"Who the hell are you guys?" Jake's guard went up, slightly wary of the group of short armored figures.
"Who are we?" The one who spoke laughed, joined by the others, their guttural tones matching. "I'll tell you who." He lifted his helmet's visor, revealing an incredibly disfigured face—one of the ugliest faces Jake had ever seen.
"Oh, Jesus! What the hell happened to you, man? You know there are clinics where you can get facial reconstruction surgery because damn," Jake remarked, taken aback by the guy's appearance.
"There's nothing wrong with me, you disgusting ignorant human! I'm a goblin. I'm supposed to look like this!" The goblin shouted in rage and indignation. "It's all because of you that Gringotts was nearly brought to ruin.
And now you're going to pay! Our king has ordered your death for your transgression against us! Charge, brothers, and let us kill this disgusting wizard and have our revenge!" The goblin lowered its visor, brandishing its sword as it charged toward Jake with its stubby little legs.
The other four goblins followed suit, two of them wielding spears and the remaining two wielding spiked maces.
