(Welcome back to those readers continuing to read my fanfiction. I would like to give a huge thank you to those reviewing and favoriting. I've also been receiving questions and I am completely fine with those who message me and I'll respond as soon as possible.)

Chp. 6

The war horns were being blown and above it all was Emmett taking charge of his crew. Though usually a kind mammal. You wouldn't know it looking at him now. His eyes were full of determination/anger.

Standing on the rail of the large galley Emmett screamed his orders for all to hear barked orders. "Now let's pull up the sails boys. Were going against the Woodchuck so let's bring out those new cannons. The pandas invented so let's use 'em. We'll show them what the Rosetta can do".

After saying this Emmett moved quickly towards Judy and Nick. " I need some one up top to let loose the sails" Which Judy immediately replied "Hopping to it" Judy said giving a wink to Nick before launching her grapple hook on her wrist crossbow sending her up to the sails.

Nick stared in bewilderment then shouted up as judy flew up" That's my line fluff".

"Then I guess I need you using the grapeshot to take out their sails Nick" Otterton told Nick giving him a pat on the back before taking off to steer and lead the ship.

Judy reached the top of the sails and started cutting ropes to let loose the sails. Allowing them to embrace the wind and lend the galley it's power. As a light rain started to pour down. While up on her vantage point she could see the mammals below readying the cannons and a certain fox stuffing his with 2 iron cannon balls connected with a thick rope. As soon as all cannons were loaded with gunpowder she waited for the firing but none came yet. She saw Otterton holding up one arm while steering the ship towards the galley which Otterton called Woodchuck.

The opposing ship didn't seem to have any cannons from what judy could see. To be fair they are a recent development by pandas. When getting closer she could see something else they had though. As a shower of arrows flew into the air towards the Rosetta. Lucky for Judy and the Rosetta the arrows were fired to soon and manage to clip the front most sail. That's when Otterton Dropped his raised arm and came with it the roar of 20 cannons.

It was like a rolling wave of thunder and smoke that exited the cannons and with it iron acting as the lightning striking the other galley. Though Nick's cannon ball was following the rest it was aimed higher as two cannon balls tied by rope swung each other around heading straight for their sails. The two balls ripped straight through the enemy main sail. Slowing the enemy down significantly. And with their sail the side of their ship crunched as a hail of the Rosetta's thunder crashed into the Woodchuck's side. Only to aid to the effect the sky drew further darkness and the rain grew heavier.

Emmett gave no time for the enemy to recover he called for a full ram now that the Woodchuck ship was almost slowed to a halt fighting now against the wind with one less sail. The Mammals now gathered around the bow Nick center of them all with their swords gripped tight most otters themselves but a few lioness ready for a fight. Nick reached for his own sword only to feel his hand shake immensely as it drew close to his shortsword. "Damn it" Nick thought.

"It's not the sword bud it's you" Ryan's voice echoed in Nick's mind.

"No it's you, you left me you were supposed to be the heir not me" Nick thought frustrated. Watching the galley close in on the woodchuck preparing to raid. Seeing scrambling beavers grabbing for sabers.

"Well what are you gonna do about it" Ryan voice asked.

As the Rosetta crashed into the Woodchuck Nick jumped the rail screaming in answer "fight" which the crew of Rosetta cheered and charged with him. Nick immediately giving a sharp right hook to a nearby beaver knocking the unsuspecting guy unconscious.

Judy jumped down into the chaos herself. Driving her staff into a beaver below readying his bow. The beaver instantly broke as the staff crushed his skull. Judy though found herself on the other side of the ship near the wheal with a good amount of beavers between her and the rest of the Rosetta crew. Smashing her axe/spear into a few nearby enemies brandishing their own sabers. She only swung and tried to keep momentum.

Nick was having trouble with only his paws but his quickness and fighting ability were allowing him the advantage plus he was able to be surrounded with the crew at his back. Then came a slightly larger beaver wielding a hatchet.

"Foxy woxy come on don't you want to play" swing his hatchet in circles to emphasis "he" wanted to play.

"Ma told me to never play with strangers, and by far ser you seem quite strange" Nick replied pointing at the beaver's face gesturing towards the guys ugly face which was missing a front tooth and a eye missing with a large scar across his muzzle. Which was probably broken more times than willing to count.

With that the Beaver was pissed and stormed Nick hatchet first. Nick dodged to the side only to have his back to the railing now. Now cornered with crowds of fighting blocking him in. It was just him and the quite large ugly beaver.

"Come on Nicky think your way out of it use your advantages" Ryan counseled Nick.

"Oh I plan to brother but I would prefer some space"Nick retorted in his head. "Hey Woody I hear you chuck wood but did the wood chuck back" waving his hand in circular motion around the face. It certainly pissed off the beaver and he charged as predicted. Nick let a smile grow as he did what the beaver didn't suspect for him to be charged by an empty pawed fox. Nick used the surprise and took the beaver by the paw holding the clever twisting it behind the beavers back. Taking the beavers momentum from earlier and using the arm to shove the beaver to the railing. The beaver recovering from the surprise tried swing around but with one paw on his hatchet hand behind his back and the other holding the beavers opposite shoulder. With a firm grip on the beaver Nick sent the beavers head to the railing. Then immediately flipping him over the said railing.

The rain fell hard though the metal scraping stopped. Nick turned to see he was in the middle of the ship noticing Judy by herself now walking towards him from the captain's deck. He strode towards her. As a hard rain came down heavy and loud, but he could see clearly the figure striding behind Judy.

With the loud thunder Judy could hear nothing. Seeing Nick though running towards trying to say something. She couldn't hear a thing the loud booming thunder made sure of that. But what she couldn't hear she could feel as a brown furred arm wrapped around her neck and a foot kicking her in the back of the legs causing her to drop to the ground and drop her spear/axe. While another arm assuming its her attackers other arm pulls a knife up to her muzzle. The thunder now dissipating. The rain though held still making it to hear her surroundings. She could Now hear Nick shouting for the beaver to drop the knife.

"Come on you're outnumbered drop the knife and you'll live" Nick called out to the beaver

"I'm captain woody and I own this ship and I suggest you yield before this one drops like a stone in water" the captain yelled out for all to hear.

It was Emmett who responded first "Woody you've raided ottersbay trade ships for too long taking our supplies and goods. Now we're taking your ship"

"I will never yield my ship but I will go down for it and I guess i'll have company on my way down to hell" the captain replied raising the knife to thrust into the bunny captive.

For Nick timed stopped to where he could see the individual rain drops floating in the air moving so slow that they almost were entirely still. "I can't let her die" Nick thought.

"Then fight for her" Ryan replied softly slowly fading.

With those words as time was slowly speeding up he ignored everything besides the sight of Judy. His purple light about to be extinguished. Nick reached into his holster pulling out a sharp throwing knife not noticing that his hand was decisive and fluent. Pulling the blade back and released it forwards before the drop of rain previously still hit the deck. Just as the knife of the beaver captain started its descent a on the grey bunny. A sliver of a shape came barreling towards the captain face finding home in the forehead. The captain dropped so did the the breath judy was holding in. Only for the next second to be filled with Nick holding her close. Judy close to tears with the thought that it was almost over for her. Nick cuddled her holding her close. Judy wrapped her own arms around the orange blob which she assumed was nick because the tears in her eyes distorted the vision of her love.

Nick talked with a quiet yet firm "I would do anything for you"
