Dragon Age: The Helldiver Saga - The Blight

Chapter 3

Hey, Fellow Helldivers! I have finally Finished "The Asari Spectre" and I can focus completely on The Helldiver Saga!

Anyway, Here's Chapter 3!


The ocean was dark as the night while the Moon shed the sun's light on the waters. Austin stepped outside the Captain's Quarters and walked up to the stern and made sure the steering was locked in so they won't float off-course. He looked up and saw the crow's nest. As a kid, the first few times he rode on a ship, he always wanted to climb up there.

He went over to the sides where one of the nets were hanging and started to climb up. He made sure he had a good grip, he was on the side facing the water. He made his way up and a wave hit the ship, causing it to rock slightly, he lost his grip on one of his hands and threw his hand back to where it was when he got the chance before losing the grip on his other. When the ship settled, The Commander continued his way. He reached the top and carefully walked across to the Crow's nest. He sighed a relief when he vaulted over into it.

The Commander looked around as he gotten a view of the water around him. It was Stunning. He kept looking until he saw something out in the distance. He narrowed his eyes on it as he tried to get a better look at it.

"Oh...Shit." He told himself.

He vaulted back over the crow's nest onto the post leading to the nets, he steadily walked across it and dropped down to the nets. He climbed down, flipped to the other side and dropped onto the deck.

He looked at the object again, it was heading towards them, looks like it was about to turn broadside to their ship.

"Pirates."

He ran to the Captain's Quarters, and opened the door.

"Isabela, Get up! We got pirates!"

She woke up and looked at him, then took in what he said. She was still naked, and Austin found himself staring at her breasts again before she got off the bed.

"Alright, go wake the others, are they heading toward us?"

"Yep, and fast."

She nodded as she threw on her outfit and Austin ran back to the hatch, into the hull.

"Guys! Wake up! We have pirates!" He shouted throughout the hall.

He heard several people get up. The Commander ran back up the stairs to watch the ship. It was already broadside along Isabela's. He drew Excalibur and spun it in his hand as he got ready for invaders. The Pirate ship was the same size. He saw at least ten angry pirates, mixed with elves, dwarfs, and Humans, as they shouted something unintelligible, waving sabers on the air.

After the shouting, Isabela and his Companions joined in.

"What'd I miss?" Sullivan asked him drowsily when he came to Austin's side.

"Pirates. Apparently, they want to fuck with us this time at night."

He shrugged, "At least we get to put them out of their misery."

"Yeah." Austin agreed.

"Mia, Selina, and Alena, provide some long range support on anyone who tries to on the fight when Sul, Saras, Glenn, Garaoff, and I go over."

The mages and Archer nodded as they acknowledged his orders.

"Time to have some fun." Sul commented.

"Ready Saras?" Austin asked.

"Always." She replied, taking out her Greatsword.

"Garaoff?"

"I'm going to kick their asses for waking me up."

Austin Chuckled.

"Glenn?"

"Hell Yeah! Let's kick some pirate ass!"

"Hey!" Isabela commented.

"Well, you're an exception."

She grinned at him.

"You coming with us?" Austin asked Isabela.

"Yeah, I need the practice anyway."

"Alright, let's get started!"

Everybody snapped into action. Austin was the first to jump over to the opposing craft. Followed by Glenn, Isabela, Sullivan, then Saras.

Austin slashed one down on the right and turned to the guy on the left, the man went for a overhead slash and Austin parried him and kicked the man back, thrusting into him as The a Commander did so.

Sullivan blocked an right swing from his attacker and parried it. He responded by bringing his Greatsword over his head to a right, diagonal strike across the chest, killing the man with a large gashing wound in him.

Isabela throws both of her daggers into two men on both sides of her. Pulling them both out before the men fell.

Garaoff hit the leg of a pirate with his shield, knocking the man to the ground. He flipped the sword by the hilt and came down on the man with a death thrust.

Saras dodges a dual attack by two pirates in front of her. She throws her Greatsword, burying itself in the man on the right, Saras runs to the other man and Roundhouse kicks him in the air, sending him flying into the deck of the ship. She pulled her Greatsword out of the man.

Glenn ducks under a side swing of a pirate and stabs him in the abdomen with one dagger, then back to back with the man, he delivers his other into the heart, spinning to the side, he pulls them both out before the man drops to the floor.

Austin slices the right arm of the last pirate, making him scream in agony. Austin puts him out of his misery with a thrust to the heart.

"Everybody all right?" He asks, turning to his Companions.

"Barely even touched me!" Glenn told him.

Isabela and Saras nodded.

"I want to go back to my damn sleep." Garaoff grumbled.

"I'm okay, I think." Sul told him.

"You think?" Austin asked him, with a "really?" Face.

"Yeah." He told Austin, looking over himself.

Austin shook his head as he turned to see an arrow shot straight into the head of the Captain at the Stern. He looked over to see Mia, with her bow raised and her hand where she let the bullet go.

He gave her two thumbs up and she laughed.

"Isabela, anything you want from this ship before I have my mages destroy it?"

"Yeah, go ahead and go back over. I'll be done in a minute."

Austin nodded and motioned his Warriors to head back over. He waited until everyone was back on Isabela's ship. He jumped over once they do so.

"Selina, Alena, can you sink that one?"

Alena and Selina looked at it, then at each other. They nodded and turned back to Austin.

"Yeah, We can." Selina told him.

Austin smiled and nodded, "I wanna see this."

Sul, Glenn and Selina laughed.

After waiting for a few minutes, Isabela was back on her own ship.

"Find anything?" Austin asked.

"Yeah, a bunch of Sovereigns, silvers, and coppers."

"Ooh. You're rich aren't ya?"

"No, you are."

Austin glared at her, "Me?"

"You're the one that saved my ship. This is payment."

"I can't take your gold."

"It's not really mine. Besides, having this coin could make me a target."

Austin shrugged, "If you say so."

She handed him a large coin purse. He opened it and, indeed, see all three coin types. He shuffled through. He counted at least 70 Sovereigns and many silvers and coppers.

He took out ten, "Sul, come over here."

His eyes went wide as he walked over to the Commander. Austin held his hand out.

"I can't take your money, Austin."

"No, but I'm giving all of you ten sovereigns, having this many will make me go mad."

Sul reluctantly held his hand out and Austin dropped the coins into the man's hand.

The Swordsman stepped away, next was Mia, he handed her ten, then everybody else.

He pulled his own coin purse out and poured the silvers and Coppers in it. He threw the used coin bag off the ship after he was done.

Isabela ran back to the stern and accelerated their ship to a distance.

"Ok, are we ready to set that ship ablaze?" He asked his mages, as they stood behind the stern, facing the back of their ship, looking at the now-abandoned pirate ship.

Alena and Selina nodded. They turned to the ship. Alena's hands glowed with fire as Selina's dropped tiny pebbles that dissolved in the air.

The next thing Austin saw was indescribable. A large, flaming rock, out of nowhere, came down at an incredible speed at the ship. The rock was as large as the ship itself. The rock smashed down into it. Obliterating it, while sending hundreds of destroyed ship wood scattering everywhere. A large piece came toward Austin and he stopped it with Excalibur, then returning it to its scabbard.

"That...was...Fucking...Awesome!" Glenn exclaimed, hugging Alena. Austin swore he heard her laugh softly.

"That was great!" Mia told Selina, giving her a hug also.

"How did you guys do that?" Austin asked, still in awe.

"Oh...Alena taught me a little something about teamwork..." Selina told him, innocently while smiling.

Austin chuckled, "I'm sure she did." While looking at Alena, she smiled at him.

"Bloody Hell, I get to go back to sleep. See you guys later." Garaoff told them as he walked off.

"Yeah," Hal told them, "I agree, I'm going to bed. Night, guys." And he followed Garaoff.

"Time to get some shut eye. We all need it." Austin told the group.

Everybody agreed and followed Austin as he stepped down the stairs from the stern and to his room, except Isabela.

His Stave was laying sturdy against the wall besides his bed. He took off Excalibur's Scabbard and hung it up on a nail sticking out. He made sure it was secure. He took off his armor and boots, leaving him in his Greaves and socks. He laid down on the bed, got comfortable, then fell asleep.


This was a short one! I hope the Pirate Invasion and action made up for it!

Now that testing's over, you can expect longer chapters!

Thanks for reading and leave a review, Please!
