+[Prologue]+
As a powerful storm rages across the Pacific Ocean. A man inside his room finished writing a letter in Tagalog form on white pieces of paper. His face was wet and felt little shook, his both ears unable to calm down hearing the intense heavy rains and strong gale they experienced on their ship across the sea. He wore an akuba hat made from the Australian bush hat whose wide-brimmed style. The man opened his letter once more.
"I need to keep this letter before we vanished because of this intense storm!" he said.

[An opened Letter]
33st Brgy. San Miguel.
August 23, 2014
Mahal kong Asawa,
Alam kong matagal na ako hindi nagpaparamdam sa iyo at sa ating mga anak! Halos ilang taon din akong napawalay sa inyong tatlo sana mapatawad nyo ako sa aking mga pagkukulang! Sana patawarin niyo ako sa aking desisyong paglisan at pag-iwan sa inyo, Dahil sa aking misyon at tungkuling hindi ko dapat itanggi at alisan dahil labag iyon sa aking mga kasamahan at sa aking kalooban, Patawarin nyo ako kung hindi ako sumasagot sa inyong mga tawag o di kaya'y mga text message at liham na pinapadala nyo sa akin araw-araw. Patawad aking mahal dahil hindi ko manlang nasilayan ang paglaki ng ating mga anak! Hindi ko manlang nasilayan sa stage at maranasang umakyat sa kanilang graduation! lubos kong ikinalulungkot ang mga taong dumaraan at lumilipas, pasko, at bagong taon mga panahong hindi ko na kayo nayayakap sa tuwing kayo'y umiiyak at nalulungkot, at mga araw na hindi ko kayo kapiling sa pagtabi sa iyong pagtulog sa kama! Patawad muli aking asawa! Patawad mga anak! Sana sa huling pagkakataon ay muli ko kayong masilayan lalo na ang inyong mga ngiti at tuwa sa mukha. Patawad aking mahal!! Patawad!! Sana makarating sa inyo ang sulat na ito, at sana'y mabasa niyo ang aking huling liham, hanggang dito na lamang salamat aking mga mahal!....
Lubos na nagmamahal.
Ang inyong Ama.

He folds the letter fast and exhaled deeply as his face was unlucky to his decision. Crossing in the mids of the Pacific, lightning, and thunder can be heard everywhere because of the extreme weather condition.
The man immediately places the letter in an empty bottle of wine. Until he heard his pals screaming outside loudly. He went out to his room. Due to the rains and waves crashing against the ship, he noticed that their equipment was scattered and damp everywhere. The waves created by the gales are becoming stronger as the storm intensifies. Because the fog is thick in the area, none of them could see the path.

He stepped aside, his eyes are narrowed due to the gales.
"What's going on?!!" he asked in shouted.
"The storm we experiencing now! Isn't just a normal storm!" said one of his companions.
"What do you mean?" he asked him back for a second time.
"This storm was a manipulation by our enemies!!" the man said.
"Seriously?!"
"Yes!!!"
The man on the top of the ship was screaming so loudly. He's uncomfortable at his place trembling with fear and aware of what he's seeing. "We're going to a trap!! We're... We're going to a trap!!" the man shouted on the top.
"What?"
"Trap!!.... A trap look!!!!" yelled by one man. Their eyes enlarged as the men were all flabbergasted by what they encountered and the fog was vanished for a few minutes later.

"What the hell is that?" the man felt shook his body frightened at what he saw.
A gigantic and massive black pirate ship is rapidly approaching them. The storm's rains and winds gradually calmed down.
"Our enemies are coming!!!" screamed by the man at the top of the ship.
"They coming towards to us!! What shall we do!???"
"We don't have any choice!! We need to fight back!!" said the man. The entire crew of the ship prepares their weapons and equipment for battle.
"All of us are ready for fight back sir!"
"Look over there! the pirate ship!" said the bearded man as he looked up to the black ship his face was sweated and paled.
An Eleven strange men yelled in their jumped approaching them from their pirate ship as they are flying on.
"They are much stronger than us! They have powers! How we can beat them?" said the man.
The man with akuba hat stood up to his companions, "Just trust to ourselves! We can beat them without any powers!" bravely of the man.
"They are here because of you and the Map!" said the bearded man.
"Whatever happens, they will not be able to obtain the map from us!" he said, and he tucked the map away including the letter to his backpack.
