Something emerged from the treeline and splashed into the water in front of the two adventurers. The cacophony of voices stopped and instead, it was replaced by a strange quiet that screamed even louder than the previous fake wailing. The creature was here with them and it seemed that the two’s shenanigans had woken it up.
“Huzzah Percy it appears that we were able to knock on the Bogaboo fellow’s front door and make them come out sucessfully”, Javal exclaims excited not understanding the weight behind the foe they were up against.
Suddenly he did as the bugaboo swam under him and pulled him into the water below. He tried to struggle and kick its grasp away but he was only able to stay above water for a second before the bogaboo’s raw strength overcame his own. It grabbed Javal by the feet and surged through the water keeping its grasp on its prey. The fellblood was a bit powerless at the moment he wasn’t able to escape its grip especially as its underwater capabilities were far past his own. He hoped that Percy’s power was able to get him out of this if not he was going to be in for a tough time.

Javal was barely underwater for a moment before both he and the bogaboo were lifted out of the water. Percy gripped one of the skulls off the monster, having already shifted into his wereshark form. He put his foot on Javal's chest and pushed, trying to pry the two apart. The monster seems less than willing to let go of the would-be meal.
The bogaboo wails and cries, nails digging into Javal but unable to outlast the strength of the two adventurers. Once dislodged, Percy winds up and throws the creature across the bog and into a tree. It thuds into the trunk as its heads all clatter and shift to focus on the wereshark ahead.
"About feckin time ye came up ye chatterin feck pain in the arse." He steps in to throw a punch, but the bogaboo easily shifts out of the way now that its now longer so surprised. Percy's fist connects with the tree, the weight behind it taking a chunk out of the wood.
"If ye stay still, this ain't gonna hurt as much ye prick." The bogaboo and Percy circled each other like two apex predators staking their turf. It gave the fellblood a great opportunity to strike back with its attention focused elsewhere.

Javal spits out water as he and the bogaboo are lifted into the air grinning ear to ear as he looks over his shoulder to see that Percy has entered that incredible form of his. He felt a strong impact as the wereshark fellow tried to separate him from the villainous fiend. He grits his teeth as the bogaboo sinks its sharp nails into his side, it hurts badly and starts coming out from him. However thanks to Percy’s incredible strength and his own they separate the clingy creature’s grip. Javal stands up rising to his fool height drenched from the bogwater coughing before shaking his head trying to get himself back into his fighting instincts.
“Thank you, Percy, this fellow took me completely by surprise. I apologize for letting it up. I promise to make up for it by taking this beast down as fast as I possibly can”, the fellblood exclaims.
Seeing that the bugaboo has its attention on the wereshark, Javal decides it best to use the opportunity to attack. He opens his mouth and sends out a cone of chilling frost (1) towards the beast’s right side. Hoping that’ll catch it off guard, he then pulls his katana back, twisting his back slightly before throwing his katana aiming right for the bogaboo’s head. His blade whirling (2) through the air.

The bogaboo snarls at the two of them, angry its surprise tactics aren't working. It bears the brunt of the cold blast as ice forms over its fines. The feeling isn't pleasant, but a perk of being undead is that you don't really feel extreme temperatures. The thrown blade is another problem.
The four arms are brought up to protect the heads. THe bogaboo tries to grab the blade, but it starts its return arc before it can. The creature starts to chase after the blade, trying to get to Javal before he gets his sword back.
Unfortunately for the bogaboo, Percy is there. He whips his mace at it impacting its shoulder and knocking it off course.[1] Percy catches the mace and tries to pounce, slamming the mace down.
"Ye better watch yer feckin blindspots arsehole!" The bogaboo rolls out of the way and scrambles away. It snarls at them again looking for a place to slip away and regain the advantage again.
The creature jumps back into the foliage and starts to circle the group. It stalks them in a circle as fog rolls in covering their ankles. The next few moments are quiet and tense before it suddenly bursts out from the cover of leaves.
Percy is not one to be surprised that often and like the predator he was he could smell the blood in the proverbial water.[2] Rather than biting down on flesh, the skull meets mace as Percy shoves it into its jaw breaking it off.

“Darn it”, Javal curses his attacks have proven ineffective and he awaits his katana’s return holding his right hand out in anticipation.
Quickly his eyes sharpen as he notices that the bogaboo is headed right towards him trying to take away his weapon.
“Huzzah foul beast forget it for my blade is loyal to a single person’s hands, mine”, and before he can charge forward and meet the monster in its chase he stops noticing Percy seems to have it covered. While the man continues to mace and thrash the monster Theseus returns to the fellblood right back to his hand (1).
He scoffs as the dangerous fellow returns back to its cover under the swamp’s fauna, “Really Mister Bogaboo? Show yourself once more and stop hiding”.
Javal, tired of using its natural habitat against them, decides it’s time to focus. He holds his left free hand out and begins collecting frost and ice magic into his palm he then clenches his fist closing his eyes before shaping the glacial construct in his mind, a long ice spear (2) then appears in his hand. As the creature rushes forth only to be met by Percy’s mace the fellblood makes his move he takes a step back and throws his ice spike aiming right towards the side of the bog bastard’s head.

The jaw chews at the mace trying to overpower it until the ice spear goes through its head. It goes slack, but the bogaboo hops back and retreats with its two remaining heads. Hurt, but ready to keep fighting it slams its fists into the ground.
It is met with a similar primal display of force from Percy, "Come on ye feckin swamp arse!"
They meet in the middle as Percy swings his mace down in a hard telegraphed strike. It's easily blocked by the bogaboo, but the real strike hadn't happened. When the guard goes high, Percy's free hand cocks back to uppercut another head.
Unblocked, the first shatters through the bones sending shards everywhere.[1] The remaining head stumbles back with the body, spewing out black swamp bile as it concentrates whatever evil energy is keeping it together. It is all or nothing for the monster at this point.
It leaps once more, but Percy had learned a thing or two from fighting Arashi. Sometimes force should be met with the opposite, so as it comes in Percy grabs a fistful of vines and tosses it over his hip.
The bogaboo goes flying through the air towards Javal. A good clean swipe could end it.

Javal couldn’t help himself but grin madly and exclaim with excitement, “Yes friend Bogaboo give this battle all you got, don’t make this an easy victory for us. Get back up and fight with everything you have”.
He could feel his heart beating faster and faster, this was what he enjoyed about adventuring the most. Fighting against a truly strong opponent with everything you had, there wasn’t anything else like it. The only thing that mattered was your strength and your determination to win, the bogaboo had proven itself a tricky but formidable fellow to face.
Javal, determined not to step in Percy’s way even if he wanted to get a piece of the monster for himself, decides to support the man. He holds his hands out gathering the bog water from below around him; it surrounds him with a faint ring (1). As the triton fellow continues to fight against it, even breaking through its bones, Javal then pushes the water out, sending it quickly towards the monster hitting its back. It gets pushed a foot or two forward and the bone off of its back gets broken and falls making it even more of a mangled broken mess. He’s surprised that this thing is even standing considering how much damage they were doing, but it was a testament to the monster’s determination. Before he could send out another projectile attack, Percy suddenly grabs onto the beast and sends it flying straight towards him. He grins seeing the perfect chance to end this whole thing right here and now.
He steps back, takes a deep breath, places both of his hands on Theseus giving this last attack all of his strength, and looks right at the target as it comes rushing forward. His blade glows the runes on its side a brilliant blue while a faint white aura surrounds the weapon and swings the blade (2) diagonally slicing through the monster’s bone and undead flesh. It pierces through it making a good clean swipe of the remaining bag of mush that’s holding it together. Before he can finish he pulls back again, slicing through its opposite side and doing the same. The creature’s body gets cut into four pieces and lands all around him. He then places his blade back into its sheath and gives a long bow.

The bogaboo mutters out what might be a curse as whatever evil energy that held it together starts to fade. The vines and skulls twitch on the ground before they start to wither and crumble. Sounds in the bog slowly start to return as even creatures feel the evil leaving the area.
Percy cracks his neck and knuckles as his form starts to shift back. He spits a few splinters from his mouth and picks them from his teeth as he grumbles. A boot crunches down on the last bits of the skull and bones just to really make sure it is dead.
"Feckin prick." TO show further disrespect Percy spits on where the remains were. "Don't feckin bow to it, ye look like more o' a prick than the sheisty little bastard was."
Percy storms over hits Javal in the chest with the back of his hand, not hard enough to threaten hurting, but more of like a supportive thing.
"The little shite wouldn't ah done it fer ye, so show the little bastard yer the fecking victor and keep yer head up. Bowin's fer stuffed shirt arseholes who don't actually know how to fight and ye ain't that."

Javal lowers his head greatly and begins paying his respects, “Thank you bogaboo fellow for the amazing fight. I am truly grateful that I was able to go against you with everything all of us here had inside. Although I cannot say much to your benefit considering how much of a terrible nuisance you were, I hope that whatever lies before you after death puts you at peace”, Javal then raises his head and stretches his body letting himself be at ease after such an exciting fight.
He looks over to Percy with a smile, “Apologies friend it’s just something I do to all my opponents whom I’ve killed to pay respects. For as much trouble as they cause us in life all at the end of the day all life is precious and should be respected as they die”.
The fellblood chuckles as he feels the fellow hit his chest playfully, “That’s a fair statement Percy but still I like to think I send them off with honor at least. It’s my code of honor instilled in me by my mother and master and if it makes me look silly and foolish then so be it, I'm okay with being a silly fool”, he smiles before playfully and not with any real force punching the man’s shoulder.

"I don't think it gives a shite...bein dead fer a second time an' all." Percy hufffs, but he really doesn't care enough to argue the point.
Plenty of people on the sea tried to have some code, honor among thieves and all that. Usually when push came to shove those morals went out the window though, so it was hard to take it too seriously. Life as a pirate isn't about codes and honor, it is surviving. At least for Percy that is what it was about.
Maybe it was something about the training and such that made people like that. That Arashi guy probably had a bunch of codes of honor too with his "training" and "formal education." Did his clan even have anything close to this? Hard to say given what happened, but that's a backstory for another day.
Percy kicks the pile of ashes to scatter them into the wind just in case this thing had any thoughts of reforming. Least they could do is not make it easy on the bugger.
"I ain't one to tell anyone how to carry themselves, do whatever ye like, s'easier to do when ye can back it up and don't 'ave to care what others say......in any feckin case, let's get the feck outta 'ere before I do decide to burn this place down. Stupid damned bog still gettin on me nerves."
