The Trial and Execution of Guybrush Threepwood
Released - October 30, 2009
Plot
Just as Guybrush is taken back to Flotsam Island after Morgan LeFlay's betrayal and delivered to the Marquis De Singe, the citizens of Flotsam Island summon him to court, where he is accused of injuring McGee's pet cat, disfiguring Bosun Krebbs, creating a fake Dark Ninja Dave for Joaquin D'Oro, vandalizing Kilik Hardtack's "X", and the "creation, incubation, dissemination, proliferation and mastication" of the Pox of LeChuck.
With Stan serving as the prosecutor, Guybrush represents himself and successfully finagles his way out of the former four charges, but is unable to convince the court to believe the true origins of the Pox. His original attempt to call Elaine to the stand as his witness fails upon discovery that she too has become infected by the Pox, sending her into a mad craze for treasure sidetracked only by her anger against Morgan for having been in Guybrush's company. Unable to get her support or cure her with La Esponja Grande, Guybrush is saved instead when LeChuck appears in court, claiming himself and the Voodoo Lady to be the true causes of not only the Pox, but all the voodoo-related aggravations that continuously sent Guybrush on his several adventures in the previous games.
Despite his distrust at the assumed betrayal from the Voodoo Lady, Guybrush nevertheless consults her regarding La Esponja Grande. The Voodoo Lady hands him a menu to nourish the young sponge with a "feast for the senses" to help it grow and reach its full voodoo-absorbing capability. As Guybrush attempts to satisfy the sponge, he finds that Morgan has been fatally stabbed in de Singe's laboratory and vows revenge, but later discovers her body missing. With all of the sponge's feast requirements satisfied save for an "after-dinner belch", he returns to the ruins of the wind gods.
The Marquis, having used Guybrush's severed hand to create an elixir of life, intends to use the wind machine to disintegrate Elaine and have her remains infect every pirate in the Carribbean, giving him a much larger source to draw more of his elixir from. Guybrush - with help from the animated hand - manages to trick the Marquis to fall into the machine and disintegrate. With the Marquis out of the way, Guybrush throws La Esponja Grande into the wind machine, where it grows to full size and absorbs the Pox from all the pirates in the Carribbean.
Just as La Esponja Grande finishes its job, LeChuck arrives and frees Guybrush and Elaine. Catching them unaware, LeChuck runs Guybrush through with The Cursed Cutlass of Kaflu, revealing himself to be just as evil and Elaine-obsessed as ever. LeChuck reclaims the Pox from the sponge, and Elaine engages him in combat as Guybrush dies.
