Trouble in the Western Waters

[Nogrick]

Cannon fire erupted as the M.S.S Zanzibar was speeding it's way west. Nogrick had turned to see something he'd never seen before. It was a huge boat sailing towards them. As Nog gawked at the boat, he could see the flag he had seen in the books and stories of when he was a boy. It was a skull and crossbones.

"PIRATES!!!" Nog screamed as he franticly looked about the Zanzibar for something to defend themselves with.

On board the Pirate Ship: A captain stood at the fore end of the massive boat, staring into the distance, when he heard a voice from behind him.

"Cap'n," the voice said, "We're almost in range to board the other vessel."

The captain turned to face his crewman. "We are then? Fetch me my sword you pastie fool!"

The crewman rattled as he ran to the captain's quarters. The Captain continued to face forward as the ship drew closer to the Zanzibar. "Those poor fools," he chuckled, "If they think they can out maneuver the BloodTide, then they be dreadfully mistaken." Now, he faced towards the Zanzibar as the BloodTide grew ever closer. "They will ne'er forget the day they crossed Jolly Roger!!!"

The captain chuckled horribly as the BloodTide came into range of the frail Zanzibar...

[Sperrit]

Sperrit frowned.
"Pirates, eh? This isn't exactly the best time for pirates. I'm not a Water Elemental, ya know."

[Aindriahhn]

"Bloody hell!" *Aindriahhn screamed, watching as the ship bore down*
"We've got to save the ale!"
*Running to the bow, Aindriahhn waited by a line, ready to "jibe the jib", or anything else the WO ordered*

[Geron]

"Sheesh," Geron said as he woke up from his sleep. "Well, I better earn my pay, besides Nogrick, you did hire me for a protective arm, right?"

Geron then pulls out his Jikiri Blades.

[Diablo]

Diablo smirks as he opens his eyes with a cruel look. " And they say we are poor fools. I hear every word they say.."

Diablo flips up and flys towards the other ship heading towards the hull. *Yelling* "You wish you never attacked!!" Diablo rams the side of the boat pushing it back cracking a few planks of wood. He flys up the side and lands on the deck unsheathing his wepon. "Come on."

[Tobias]

Tobias shakes his head, and cries out: "Diablo...come back here...we could use you much more strategically for defensive..."

Tobias gripped Eden's handle, and got into a ready position for the onslaught of
pirates

[Sperrit]

Sperrit picks up his staff.
"Well, I guess we better prepare to repell boarders and all that rot."

[Nogrick]

"Stowaways?!?!" Nog thought. "Meh. At least they can help us now."

Nog grabbed the only thing he knew that could remotely save him in this time of battle. His trusty Steel Chair.

The BloodTide was now in boarding range. Planks of wood and grappling hooks were readied by the skeletal hands of the ships crew. The bridges were now set. Jolly Roger looked on from the deck as five of his best men made their way to the Zanzibar. Just then, his first mate returned to him with the Skull Smasher in hand. JR unsheathed it and stood patiently. "Take no prisioners me 'earties! Make them taste your steel!"

[Diablo]

"Defensive!?" Diablo looks bak at Tobias. "I don't do defense! but, it would be a new fighting style to learn." Diablo flips onto the rail and says, "You guys will die just not yet." Diablo falls back off towards the water spins around and flys to Nog and his ship. "Take this.. it will do much better than that chair." says Diablo as he unsheaths armagedden holding his hilt first.

[Tobias]

Tobias smirks: "he's gonna get himself hurt one of these days by playing hero all the time."

Eden is drawn, as the first of the boarding crew comes into range of Tobias. He draws Eden, and prepares to defend
