Chapter 10:Sea Battle
Seyella couldn't help but smile as she felt the hard surface of the wooden table. She smiled even more as she felt the cool breeze of the night hit her face.
This ship's called the "Olympia" which sounds pretty cool although I think calling it Seyella would be cooler...
"I think it's safe to say we made a good choice." Bri said from Seyella's left.
Too right! Agreeing to ditch the boys and joining up with the girls was a great decision!
"Hey could we have some chocolate?" Kotamo asked.
"Shut up prisoner!" Aria yelled as Seyella heard the rattle of the cage which held Kotamo, Titan and Boreas.
I hope the master would approve of this decision...
"So how long til we reach the nearest Island?" Titan asked.
"We should be at Caracol Island in the next two hours." Gale confirmed.
"Sounds great." Giselle said cheerfully.
"We're leaving when we get to the island right?" Kotamo asked.
"Yeah. The terms were that we are allowed to roam free on the ship but we look for Leiji on Carcol while these guys go ahead." Bri informed him.
Just before Seyella was about to ask another question Katrina interrupted her.
"What's that?" Katrina yelled.
Seyella cursed her luck and clicked her fingers causing Huginn and Muginn to appear on her shoulder.
Time to see what's got everyone's knickers in a twist.
Seyella's eyes began to glow as she formed a link in her mind with Huginn and Mugin allowing her to see a black sea and a white ship sailing towards the ship. Suddenly, Seyella's link with her ravens was broken when Bri gripped her shoulder.
"Did you hear that?" Bri asked.
"Hear what?" Seyella replied.
"Gale ordered us to get ready to fight." Bri said hurriedly.
"Alright then time to fight!" Seyella said excitedly.
A few seconds later...
Giselle smiled at the potential oncoming fight. She glanced at her fellow frontliners in Kotamo and Boreas.
I can't wait to get this show on the road...
Giselle glanced at the oncoming ship. It was a large pitch black ship and had a black flag with a set of crossbones on it. It had the name" Queen Anne's Revenge" emblazoned in gold.
"Fire the cannons!" Gale yelled as she pulled the tiller towards the ship.
Everyone glanced at one another nervously.
"Ugh...do I have to order you guys...Katrina and Titan get on the ,Seyella,Giselle,Aria,Kotamo and Boreas get ready to fight when we grapple." Gale ordered.
Who put her in charge...
"You heard her! Assume you're fighting stances." Bri yelled.
Giselle closed her eyes.
"Fire the cannons!" Gale yelled again.
Giselle heard the blast of the gunpowder shake her eardrums as she sensed the cannon hit the opposing ship. Suddenly, Giselle felt the ship shake wildly.
"Giselle get a grip! That's play the points game!" Aria yelled.
Giselle opened her eyes to see Aria dressed in her mermaid armour. She wore a metal breastplate and wore gloves which were studded with seashells. She wore a simple metal skirt and boots made of seashells. In her hand was a glowing trident.
"Yeah I hear ya!" Giselle nodded in reply as she watched the opposing ship release a set of thick ropes which latched themselves onto the ship. Bringing the opposing ship and Gale's ship closer together.
"Cut the lines! Fox Fire: Will-o-Wisp!" Bri yelled as she grabbed Seyella and tossed her onto the rival ship before she rubbed her hands together and then stretched them both out causing two pumpkins engulfed in fire to appear.
Giselle watched as Aria quickly raced across the rope and dived headfirst into battle.
She didn't follow her orders...guess she got five points for that...
Giselle blanched backwards at the sight of fire as she watched Kotamo summon a crystal scythe and swing wildly cutting the ropes which were forcing the two ships to move closer.
There's no way I'm using that demon again...not after what happened last time...
"Giselle get your head in the game!" Bri shouted as she leapt onto the enemy ship and threw the pumpkins whilst in midair causing an orange puff of smoke to appear as she landed.
Just before Giselle was about to activate her magic she instinctively jumped backwards when a group of pirates appeared. All of them were grown men and wore a variety of loose fitting clothes which were coloured in beige and brown. All of the men had no hair and had varying degrees of hygiene.
Giselle winced as she eyed one of the men pick his nose.
That is so disgusting...
"Charge!" A man yelled out causing the army of pirates to charge forward.
"Open gate of the Hydra!" Katrina yelled from her left causing a small purple Hydra to appear.
"You called mistress?" The Hydra said with a sly smile.
"Go take down those freaks!" Katrina yelled as she ran towards a cannon closer to Giselle and swung it towards the pirates.
Wow she's not joking around...
"Go on their ship and cause some havoc! We'll take care of these clowns!" Gale yelled as she and Titan ran to halt in front of Giselle.
Giselle nodded.
"Ars Grotiea Exhchange: Anhel!" Giselle began to glow briefly whilst she acquired her new form.
Once the glowing died down she looked down at herself and smiled. She wore a solid gold bralette with a pair of skin-tight gold pants. She glanced at her light blue knee high boots and tight thin gold chains which hung off of her waist, her neck, her arms, her hair and her legs. Her hair felt short and wavy to as she tilted the thin gold hairpiece.
Giselle rose into the air and flapped her white feathery wings and glided towards the enemy. She glanced down from the night sky and saw Kotamo jump from the ship and slam a palm on the water causing the very ocean to turn to freeze over. In response a bunch of pirates appeared and charged towards him.
Maybe I should go help him out?
Suddenly, Boreas jumped from the ship and landed on the ground. He glanced at Kotamo and grinned before unleashing a powerful roar of snow and ice towards the enemy. Giselle smiled at the sight and dove towards Aria who was outnumbered.
"Holy Judgement!" Giselle yelled causing her hand to glow yellow before sending down a shower of light towards her targets.
BOOYAH!
Giselle smiled as she heard a loud explosion and landed next to Aria who looked weary.
"Finally decided to join in?" Aria said with a smile as she glanced around at her fallen foes.
"Sorry it took me so long to appear." Giselle said as she pulled two lollipops from her chains and offered one of them to Aria with her right hand.
Aria took it gratefully and Giselle took this as an invitation to free her lollipop of her wrapper and feast. Just before she was about to suck on her lollipop Aria narrowed her eyes suddenly.
"Look out." Aria warned.
Giselle rose up her free left arm and backhanded the pirate in the nose who had thought he could sneak up on her. She watched the burly pirate collapse onto the ground with a smile on his face.
Reckon that's five points...
"Um...I think that's minus five points..." Aria smirked as she aimed her trident at Giselle's chest.
Giselle looked at her chest to see that her bralette had fallen to the ground. Aria laughed at Giselle as she narrowed her eyes in anger and snatched her bralette.
"Don't laugh." Giselle moaned as she fixed on her bralette.
Aria stopped laughing for a few seconds before Giselle sent her a glare which made her tone down her laugh to a snort.
STUPID PIRATE...TIME TO MAKE THIS SHIP GO BOOM!
"Aria lets destroy this place!" Giselle shouted.
"Agreed." Aria replied as she raised her trident in the air causing it to glow blue.
Giselle could sense the very ocean moving more aggressively as Aria swung her trident in a wide arc causing a barrage of water to slam into the ship.
"Hey watch it!" Bri's voice shouted from both the left and right.
What the hell?
Giselle glanced left and right to see five Bri's fending off some pirates on either side. Giselle's ears perked up she heard footsteps from behind her. She turned around to see Seyella running towards her.
"Bri's using her duplicity magic. They'll take care of these guys but we need to get into the captain's cabin and take out their leader quickly. Their all illusions and their feeding on our magic." Seyella explained.
"What?" Aria said in surprise as she joined them.
"I don't know why I couldn't sense it before but the pirates are all illusions and Bri's having -"Seyella said before she was cut off by a loud explosion.
"NO!" Titan yelled as he punched a pirate sending him flying.
"KATRINA LOOK OUT!" Gale screamed.
The trio whipped themselves around to see Katrina fall overboard into the ocean whilst grappling with a pirate.
"I'M GOING AFTER HER!" Gale shouted as she dived into the water after her.
I hope Gale can get to her in time...
Giselle glanced at Aria who had a determined expression on her face.
"Go and get your team and leave here. We'll sort this out." Aria said with a steely look in her eye.
"What no! We can't leave you here!" Seyella said as she stamped on her foot.
Before Giselle could even react she saw a bruised Bri launch upwards into the air, sending shards of wood into the air in the process as she came crashing down the wooden floor next to Giselle. Instantly, the duplicates of Bri evaporated into thin air as the real Bri crawled towards the group.
"Bri are you okay?" Giselle asked as she gently grabbed Bri and loaded her onto Seyella's shoulder.
"R-run..." Bri muttered slowly before fading into unconscious.
"No way!" Aria said.
Another explosion sent a shockwave through the ship. Giselle could only watch in astonishment as all the pirates evaporated into thin air.
"Ugh...Seyella go now!" Aria ordered.
Seyella was about to argue back but Aria have a glare which caused her to close her mouth. She ran towards the edge of the ship and whistled.
"Kotamo, Titan and Boreas get your asses over her ASAP! Don't argue with me!" Seyella shrieked.
"Aww!" Kotamo and Boreas said in unison as they looked up at Seyella before running towards her.
Titan looked confused as he jumped from the Olympia and skidded towards Seyella.
"I'm going to toss Bri overboard .Kotamo make a ship so we can leave." Seyella ordered.
Wow who know that she was such a leader...
"Ice Make: Boat!" Kotamo said as he slammed his fist into his palm causing the frozen floor he had created to crumble completely causing the boys to fall into freezing cold water.
Giselle laughed but was soon speechless as she eyed a smiling Kotamo who stood on a small rowboat made out of ice.
"Sweet man!" Titan said as he high fived Kotamo.
"Another boat..." Boreas groaned as he began to go green.
Seyella tossed Bri overboard and Titan caught her in his arms before setting her down.
"I'm leaving this to you guys. Stay safe." Seyella said as she jumped into the boat.
"Onwards!" Kotamo shouted with glee as he began paddling away in the rowboat.
Good Luck.
A thunderclap roared in the night sky as Giselle was sent sailing through the air by an invisible force. She glanced to her side to see Aria lying on the ground next to her. They were lying on the deck of the Olympia.
"Hpm..." A man's voice said from out of nowhere.
"Show yourself!" Aria shouted as she got up shakily and held out a hand to Giselle which she took gratefully.
"Impressive that you saw through my illusion magic but you'll be no match for my telekinesis and sword fighting skills..." The man's voice said yet again.
Giselle was about to shout only to be caught off guard by a shimmer of air in front of her. Once the shimmering had subsided she saw a tall man standing at six foot two. He had ghostly pale skin and thick and dirty beard. He wore a gray jacket and black trousers. He was also barefoot and wore a corsair on his head.
"My name is Blackbeard. Prepare to die!" The man said as he drew his sword.
Giselle and Aria looked at each before smiling.
"What's there to smile about? Say your prayers. "Blackbeard shouted.
Giselle and Aria both punched Blackbeard in the face which sent him flailing backwards.
"SHUT UP!" Aria exclaimed.
"Less talking more fighting!" Giselle said angrily.
Trace couldn't help but feel left out of the loop as he followed Axel into Oak Town. They had been travelling on foot for quite some time.
Wonder what exactly we're going to do here...
"Hey Trace, do you reckon that we'll have to fight a general?" Nari asked as they walked past a couple of beggars and entered the town.
"Maybe." Trace said.
"Can you two hurry up? Celina's getting heavier by the second!" Axel shouted from in front of them as he stood next to a small red roofed building known as "Boar's Horns".
Trace widened his eyes as he watched Nari run full pelt towards Axel and slap him in the face leaving a red handmark on his cheek.
"DONT YOU KNOW ITS RUDE TO INSULT A LADY ABOUT HER WEIGHT!" Nari yelled.
"Ssssh!" Axel said as he put a finger to his lips.
Trace rolled his eyes and quickened his pace.
Typical Axel... "Hey you coming or not?" Nari yelled as she waited at the door of the inn.
"Yeah I'm coming." Trace replied as he jogged towards the small inn which had a red roof.
Trace watched as Axel entered the inn only to widened his eyes when he saw a ball of white light raining down towards the inn.
"Nari move out of the way!" Trace yelled as he ran towards the inn.
I've got to get Axel!
Nari gave Trace a confused expression as he pointed upwards whilst he ran. Nari gasped in surprise as Trace shoved her out of the way and stepped inside the inn. It had a bar counter and behind it was a grumpy looking man wearing a dirty apron. Trace could only guess that he hadn't had much business in the last few days.
"Have you seen my friend?" Trace asked as he panted for a few seconds.
"The butler? He went in that room." The man said as he pointed to a red door to his left.
Trace gave the man a brief nod before racing towards the room. He kicked open the door to see Axel putting down Celina onto a dirty mattress.
"We need to leave now!" Trace said as he stumbled towards Axel.
"What? No we only just got here besides I've just tucked her in!" Axel said with a hint of annoyance.
"There's a ball of light coming towards the inn." Trace said hurriedly.
"You and Nari go I'll take care of Celina." Axel said firmly as he turned away from Trace.
"No way. Your coming with us so grab her and let's go." Trace said angrily.
"I can't I've already paid for this place!" Axel said.
"Since when have you ever cared about that?" Trace argued back.
Suddenly he heard footsteps causing him to whip around to see an angry looking Nari.
"What the hell are you to doing? There's a nuke hanging above us!" Nari said.
"I thought I told you to get away!" Trace shouted as the ball of light came crashing through the ceiling.
This isn't good...
Before Nari could answer back a shining light blinded Trace's sight as he felt himself being forced backwards by the impact of the blast as the ball of light expanded.
So long cruel world...
