"It is definitely a perfect day for sailing," Vyse said as he stood at the wheel of the Delphinus.
"It sure is," Fina agreed. "Not a cloud in the sky, perfect temperature, and—"
"Vyse! It's Leine again!" the lookout's voice came through the message tube.
Vyse looked out the front window and saw the Dragonslayer approaching. Oh great, he thought. I'll take care of this quickly.
"Captain Leine!" one of the crew members of the Dragonslayer called. "I think you might wanna see this!"
Leine threw open the door to the bridge, shirtless and dripping wet. "This had better be good," he said. "I was taking a shower."
"It's the Delphinus and it's coming right at us!" the crew member said.
"Perfect!" Leine said, looking out the window.
Suddenly, the ship pitched to one side, throwing everyone in the room into the wall. When the ship was upright again, Leine jumped to his feet.
"Damn!" he yelled. "What was that?!"
"He just his us with his Moon Stone Cannon!" the helmsman said.
Fine, Leine thought. I'll show him how this game is played…
"Kill him…" he whispered. The crew stood there looking clueless until Leine finally snapped. "I said kill him!!! Blow him out of the fucking sky!!!"
The helmsman's eyes widened. "You don't mean…the Deathwish Cannon?!"
"Of course that's what I mean!" Leine said harshly. "Now get it charged up!"
"Too easy!" Vyse laughed. Gilder ran to the front window.
"There has to be some sort of catch," he said.
"Captain! The Deathwish Cannon is ready!" the Dragonslayer's gunner said.
Leine smiled. "Good. Don't fire until I give the signal."
"Oh no," Gilder said. "This looks bad…they're charging up a cannon of some sort, and it looks pretty intimidating…"
"NOW!" Leine yelled.
A white-hot beam of light shot out of the Dragonslayer's main cannon and slammed into the Delphinus. Sparks flew out of its controls and the bridge ignited itself. The ship immediately did a nosedive into deep sky as it burned.
"The Delphinus has just disintegrated from the heat, sir," the helmsman said.
Leine stayed silent. Finally, I have taken the life of the one who screwed up my own, he thought. He smiled maliciously and sat in the captain's chair, which was actually more of a throne than a chair.
"Life is sweet," he said to himself.
