During the 1700's, Black Beard's ship, the "Queen Anne's Revenge" ran aground at the entrance to Beaufort inlet and wasn't discovered until hundreds of years later. During an expedition of the sunken ship "The Queen Anne's Revenge," something went terribly wrong, but the effects of that incident would not be felt until years later when a barrel of an unknown substance was tossed overboard during the expedition. The barrel took several years to erode, but when it did that's when all hell broke loose. The substance oozing out of the barrel on the ocean floor brought Black Beard and his men to life as zombies, causing them to become hungry for flesh and surface to the top of the ocean and head inland for flesh.

It was your typical sunny calm day on the seas, when Dan Spelding and his son were fishing about a hundred yards from where the Queen Anne's ship ran aground. All of a sudden Dan's son Jimmy yelled out "Dad! I think I caught a big one." Dan turned the motor of the boat off and tossed over the anchor. Dan ran to the front of the boat to help his son Jimmy reel the big one in, but the big one wasn't a fish it was something that should have been left in the ocean.

As Jimmy's father took over reeling in the big one, they noticed air bubbles, lots of them coming to the top of the surface. They didn't think much about them because they were too busy focusing on getting this big fish in. Dan finally got what he thought was a fish to the surface and said to his son, "I don't think this is a fish, Jimmy, Oh my God it's a man’s body." As Dan was pulling the man’s body onto the boat the man grabbed Dan’s arm and said "Ye Matey! I've been in the sea a long time and I'm really hungry."

Dan looked into the man's eyes and said, "Who are you?"

"Avast Ye Matey! I'm Black Beard, and my ship the Queen Anne has run aground."

Dan said, "There's no way, you died in the 1700's."

Then Black Beard grabbed Dan by the neck and bit a chunk of flesh out of his neck. Dan yelled for his son Jimmy to start the boat and get the hell out of here. Jimmy was crying for his father's killer to spare his life, but zombies show no mercy. As Jimmy got the boat started, it was too late because Black Beard's men had climbed aboard and the smell of Dan's blood just made Black Beard's men that more hungry for flesh. Black Beard and two of his men were tearing Dan's clothes off and eating his flesh. The other three men of Black Beard's ship had cornered Jimmy, and Jimmy tried to break free but the zombie pirate's were too strong for Jimmy to break their hold. Jimmy had succumbed to the flesh eating zombies. Black Beard and his flesh eating zombie crew steered the boat towards the inland for more flesh.

As Black Beard and his Pirate zombie crew anchored the boat, a curious fisherman on shore came to greet them only to be part of a tasty zombie meal. A panic stricken crowd of vacationers ran for their lives but these flesh eating zombies were much too hungry for flesh to let them escape unscathed.

Word eventually got out about the pirate zombies and the army was notified to take care of the situation. That only complicated matters because some of the armies soldiers were bitten by the pirate zombies which multiplied the zombies two fold. The island was overrun by zombies, so the only solution was to drop an H-Bomb on the island to destroy the zombies once and for all.

The President of the United States gave the go ahead to drop the bomb on the island at 0900 the next morning. The bomb was dropped, but it was too late, because three of the zombies boarded a plane that had high profile people from the island. As the plane was in mid-flight in the sky away from the bombs explosion, the zombies flesh eating tendencies took over and everyone aboard the flight including the pilot and co-pilot were all zombies. The planes destination was California and as the plane landed at Los Angeles airport the zombies ran out of the plane spreading infection like wild fire ready to infect anyone in sight. Over the next several months, infection spread to all fifty states and then to the rest of the world. In the end alien intervention stepped in from a distant planet known as Xenan and annihilated the world. All that was left from the alien's destruction of the earth was lava that erupted from the Volcanoes. Not a living soul was left to escape the apocalyptic destruction of the earth. The aliens from the planet Xenan said, "It’s all in the days work." The alien's circled the planet earth one more time, before heading back to their planet Xenan to make sure no survivors were left. Just to make sure, the alien's blasted the earth a few more times and then flew back to their planet leaving behind a dying planet.
