Within moments, the two ships were enveloped in the smoky haze of the cannon fire. A chorus of cheers went up from the Roaring Lioness as a lone cannonball found its mark into the mizzenmast of the British ship. The pillar of wood toppled over quickly and landed onto the stern of the ship with a deafening groan.
"Surely they are sunk now," Commented Maxine in amazement.
"So it would seem," Nodded Edge in affirmation.
Almost as if sensing the futility in further damaging the only ship that would remain seaworthy, the opposing captain ordered his men to cease-fire.
"Fire one more round and then ready your blades girls," Bellowed Kate in observation.
Meanwhile on the British vessel, The captain was addressing the portly fellow to his right, "Mr. Banyon, what's the status on the damage to our mizzenmast below the decks?" A small monkey ran in crazed circles nearby.
"It's not good sir," The lieutenant replied sorrowfully, "We're taking on water quickly. I estimate she'll go down within the hour, Captain Wills, sir."
"Men, ready the lines and prepare to swing over," Captain Wills shouted then added, "And men, we want to win, we really want to win."
The men scrambled to do so and moments later, the captain gave the command, "ATTACK!!!"
"Here they come!" Yelled Kate in warning as the final round of cannon fire let loose.
The ropes hissed through the air and most of the sailors made it onto the decks of the pirate galleon. Most of them, however, were greeted by the cool steel of the pirate vixens and soon found themselves sinking into the azure waters of the Caribbean and to their doom.
"Molly, with me," Kate ordered. "We're taking their captain," She continued seizing the rope from a misfortunate sailor.
"Aye cap'n," Molly nodded and grabbed one of her own.
"Hey what about us?" Inquired Matt in frustration. "You're not going over there with out us."
"Fine, but don't get in my way or you'll go down into the depths with them," Kate growled.
"What did you do to her?" Chris mouthed at Matt raising an eyebrow.
"I'll tell you later," Matt promised with a smirk.
"Quit lollygagging and come on, if your going," Hissed Molly.
"Yes ma'am," Chris nodded and quickly rushed to join her in the jump across to the other ship.
In unison the two couples swung across the gap to the now empty opposing ship on which only Captain Wills, Lieutenant Banyon and the little monkey remained. The pirate women took care of the rest of his hapless crew and soon no other Brits were alive.
"Bloody pirates," Hissed Captain Wills drawing his revolver and aiming it at Matt. "You'll not take me alive."
Captain Wills pulled the trigger of his revolver. There was the sound of a loud blast. Matt Hardy crumpled to the deck of the Agar's Speculation.
'Not again,' Matt thought with great trepidation as he recalled the last bullet he'd taken. Then darkness engulfed the WWE Superstar.
