Sailing Across the Seas

[Scarlet]

Scarlet gasped as the air was forced out of her lungs when Vorai took the bullet and pushed her out of the way. She smiled ever so slightly at his loyalty, then, jumping up to her feet, she pulled out her own pair of pistols. Quickly aiming she fired both shots towards Fang on the Wavescar, then ducked below the deck, yelling at the top of her lungs " GET READY TO BOARD!!". Just then, a cannon ripped its way through one of the lesser masts, and it toppled to the deck with a thud that shook the whole ship and took out a good sized section of rail. Scarlet didn't stop the stream of profanities she muttered under her breath. Running swiftly to the weapon room with all the other crewbeasts who were getting extra weapons to board with, she grabbed what looked to be a twelve-barreled monstrocity. It weighed heavy in her paw, and she held it in her better arm, a wave of adrenaline pulsing through her shockingly. She very nearly tumbled over right then, but her anticipation for the fighting ahead was to great for faintness to overcome. The crew beasts were already up on deck, thier grappling hooks hooking with a clink onto the Wavescars rail.

[Firestripe]

*Firestripe, up untill this point, hadn't been doing much of anything besides dodging what needed to be dodged and waiting for them to get really close to the Wavescar. He didn't need to get any extra weapons. He already had his two six barrled pistols on his hips, his battle sword on his back and Vera in his paws. Now that they were really close to the Wavescar, he gleefully opened up with Vera. He could shoot it rather quickly for it worked much in the same fashion as a pistol, albiet on a much grander scale. The grin on his face was a most fearsome sight and he probably would have frightened himself had he seen himself. He had to plant himself very firmly and let his torso take all the recoil everytime he shot to keep himself from falling over; he had found that out before hand when he had test fired the deadly weapon. He would only stop firing when he himself was ordered to board, this had been worked out between Scarlet and himself way before hand and would be the case for most any battle unless he was told otherwise before things started heating up. He laughed aloud as he continued to rain cannonballs upon the enemy ship. Well, as fast as Vera would let him rain them, at least.*

Fang cursed as a bullet flew by his ear. He smirked, "Ye missed!" He called. Then, the smile would be wiped off as another bullet flew at him. The wolf was jerked half around by the force of the bullet that crashed into his shoulder. Snarling, he growled and roared as he toar it out with a knife, then throwing the knife at a boarding beast, Fang ran down to the hooks, unsheathed an axe and started to hack of the ropes from the hooks. One line of rope fell, taking an unfortunate beast with it. Fang was knocked flat by some crewbeast from the Nightpearl, and unfortunately for that rat, a cannonball from Vera killed him. Fang stood up and hopped from one ship, slimbing the rope and kicking a beast out of the way until he was on board the Nightpearl. His old ship that he used to serve on. Fang ran down to the gun deck looking for Scarlet until he found her. "Scarlet!" He growled as he chargd towards her, and axe in one hand and a pistol in the other.

Zane Skylar was having the time of his life. He had been firing off shots from his prized possession, the grapeshot pistol, also referred to as 'Zane's Hand Cannon'. Zane fired a shot at Firestripe, then quickly ran over to the railing, and hopped over to the opposing ship, his blade unsheathed as he faced Firestripe, "Nice day to die, eh, foxy?" The ferret said, licking his blade as he advanced on Firestripe, swinging viciously at the fox's head.

Theradin had a spear in one hand, and a pistol in the other. He ran on deck and threw the spear at an opposing crewbeast, then the rat jumped over the railing to the Nightpearl and following his captain he charged down to the gun deck, only to see Fang advancing on Scarlet, "Go get 'er, cap!" Theradin said, smirking. He stood so no other beat would interfere with Fang's duel, and he shot at a stoat occupieing a cannon.

((Sorry... Not my best...))

[Firestripe]

*Firestripe, though he had to plant himself to fire Vera, kept on the move at every other moment. This being said, he hadn't even noticed the grapeshot that was fired at him. What he did notice, however, was that as he was about to fire Vera yet again after having reloaded, Zane advancing on him. Firestripe expected Zane to slash at him seeing as how the sword was what was in his paws so the burly fox jumped backwards and out of the way of the slash and then brought Vera up to bare.* "I don't know, you tell me. Is it?" *He said then fired his weapon.*


(Just as a note to Fang, this isn't instant death for Zane. As I took the liberty to have had Firestripe moving in order to dodge the grapeshot, you can do the same with Zane, just change it up a little. Just a suggestion so you don't think I'm giving you a situation with no other outcome. )

[Thaiden Stormblade]

Thaiden climbed aboard that Nightpearl. The ship's deck was in chaos as crew beasts from both ships fell to the weapons of their enemies. Slashing hsi way through a tightly packed knot of vermin he flicked a dagger into his paw with his foot. He flung the blade but turned before he saw it take a vermin sailor threw the heart. Thaiden drew a triple barrled pistol and blasted a stoat that was trying to slip overboard. No loyalty these Nightpearl beasts had. Then again some of the crew from the WAvescar where probably doing the same. Ramming his elbow sideways into the head of a rat Thaiden quickly dispatched the vermin and spun to face his next opponent. His face was bared in a evilly plesent smile as he killed beast after beast.

Zane's eyes widened as the explosion from Vera erupted. Using his reflexes, the young ferret quickly dropped on his back o the floor, caught his balance with one hand, then hopped back up, grinning, "That ain't a question you b wantin' to ask me, mate." He took aim at Firestripe, and instead of firing, he sheathed his pistol, and pointed his blade at Firestripe, "Let's dance, foxy."

Advancing on the fox, Zane swung in an arc at Firestripe's stomach, then upwards at his chest.

[Firestripe]

*Firestripe parried both attacks with Vera. Seeing as how it was made out of the same marerial that a cannon and cannon balls were made out of, Zane's blade skittered off of the weapon. After having done so, he dropped Vera, which landed with a resounding thud, and pulled his battle sword off his back, leaped at Zane and slashed violently in one fluid motion. His sword was quite a big hulking thing which pretty much matched Firestripe's array of weapons in general. Even so, he was quite fast and deadly with the blade.*

[Thaiden Stormblade]

Thaiden turned. He saw Fang advance on Scarlet. He knew the camptain would probably be offended if he ran to help. Looking around he saw Zane slashing his blade wildly at Firestripe. This was no good. If he was going to kill someons it might as well be someone important. Breaking awya from the throng of vermin he ran toward the fighting duo.

"Hey Stripey" Thaiden love to tease his opponent before he went to fight him. It was always fun to watch them swing wildly and miss completly. But Firestripe didn't like the kind to be easily intimidated, and began to wonder if his taunts where in vain. Swinging his sword he made as if to lunge at the foxes chest but instead he swung horizontally at Firestripes neck.
