As Yousei swung her chainblade to the Sinclaire ship, Camthalion's expression was a combination of dumbfoundedness and disappointed. Throughout his entire life, he had known that female elves were vital, but we not as courageous to risk their lives in battle. The females elves of the Black Woode would never have learned to risk such behavior. And yet, Camthalion could help to wonder what brought her to make such a decision as to go to the other ship, with all the chaos and commotion. Was it something he said? He didn't know, but his expression changed a third time to be more confident. His eyes turned violet once more his vision sharpened to see where she was going.
"Witum!" he tried to help, but all the action of guns firing, cannons blasting, and swords clinging drowned his voice. He got closer to him and practically shouted in his ear. "Witum, get Miles and follow me. We are going to accompany Yousei, whose already crossed to the Sinclaire ship. Let Jason and Kayla worry about Woe. Let's move!"

Yousei looked back to grab her chainblade when she heard Miles's voice from below. Looking over the railing, she noticed that it was true; Miles had indeed fallen into the black torrent. "Miles!!" she shouted over the railing, as the ship sunk further into the waters. She thought of Karasu beneath her feet, gasping for air. As Witium dove after Miles, she decided that it was safe to go after Karasu. Once Karasu was with her, she could rescue them both from the waters. "Hold on!! I'll be back as soon as I can!!" she called out to them, over the roaring waves. She ripped her chainblade free of the ship's wood, just in time to swipe at several men that had spotted her. Yousei dodgerolled and called out to Karasu, Karasu! Can you hear me!?
...
Nothing. She tried again, Karasu!!
...~Yousei..! I... I was trying to sink the ship... And....~ It's all right, Karasu! I'll be right there!! she replied. Yousei ran past the men, dodgerolling to avoid any bullets that were fired as she made her way below deck. Only a few steps after opening the door, she met water. Karasu's head was bobbing limply on the cold waves. Yousei swam toward her, as best as she could. Several pieces of furniture and barrels of gunpowder floated past. "Karasu.." she called, as she cradled her dragon's head in her arms.

Camthalion fired arrow after arrow. This was more than he could take. If the giant wasn't so hard, why were round after round of Sinclaire pirates harder? Again, a question that the elf couldn't answer.
The elf's glowing purple eyes saw the events that were happening. Kayla's battle with Woe was coming to an end, Witum was able to rescue Miles, but get wounded in the process, and Yousei was trying to save Karasu from the icy waters. This battle had gone far enough.
Camthalion's bow materialized into a sword, one of which nobody has seen in over a thousand generations. His eyes, now a shade of black, his hatred, his malice, drove him into insanity. He was going to perform an ability unlike anyone had ever seen. "Everybody, get out of here! Go overboard! If not, you will surely die!" With one swing into the Sinclaire's ship, and a darkness seeped into the ship, growing darker and darker with each plank it consumed. Dumbfounded pirates began to sink into the dark abyss. It was as if hell's gates were now open. The elf's rage kept him from entering the abyss he had created, but his flesh began to be consumed by the darkness. Blood was everywhere. I save my friends and die here, or let them kill everyone. I think NOT!

Witum heard Camthalion's call and he looked to the dark matter consuming the ship, "Now that's different..." He pulled his swords out from the dead pirate in front of them and shealthed them. The elven warrior looked over to the water and got ready to jump like he was told but he looked down to were Yousei and Karasu went below deck, "I was hired for a reason." His hands grasped a near by rope so he could swing his way over the all consuming black matter and fall right into the below deck hatch. Water splashed up as he landed in the lower deck part of the ship were Yousei and Karasu were. The elven warrior came up to Yousei and put a hand on her shoulder not yet seeing how badly Karasu was injured, "Yousei, karasu, we have to get off this doomed ship. Camthalion's...doin some of that crazy magic, but yeah..."
He looked back and saw that the dark matter had began it's decent down the stiars of the lower deck, almost blocking their entrance, "Ahh s**t...alright karasu we'll need ya to bust out of one of the walls and...," he looked over yousei shoulder and noticed karasu simply laying there, "ahh dammit, your pretty injured too huh karasu."

Yousei began to panic, as the walls of the ship turned black. Karasu looked to the door, just before Witium entered. The water levels picked up speed, as the ship was driven into the depths by Camthalion's magic. Karasu's eyesight was blurring, and she soon fainted. "Karasu!!" Yousei shouted after her life-long friend. The waters soon rose above Karasu, as she lay below the waters, but Yousei kept her grip and summoned every ounce of her strength to pull her friend out of the sea's clutches. The water around Karasu had slowly been turning crimson.. And it had now spread far enough for Yousei to see. Tears welled up in her eyes as she gritted her teeth, and finally pulled Karasu to the ship's deck, which had already begun taking on water. She was somehow able to manage pulling Karasu out of the waters on the ship, but holding her up in the sea would be impossible... And yet, another worry entered her mind, as she stared down at her dragon: Miles. She turned to Witium, the rain hiding her streams of tears, "What about Miles..? Is he all right...?"

Orion sighed as he listend to the sounds of gunfire above and around him. Calmly reaching into his coat he rummadged around for his lockpicks, scaning the area about him to make sure no one was around.
Apon finding his picks he began to work on the cell door, stoping ocasionaly as the guard passed by. After a few moments he smiled wickedly as the sound of the lock opening rang brightly through the hall.
Holding the door a splinter from clasped he waited patiently for the guard to pass by a seckond time. Kicking the cell door into the back of his head he calmly walked out into his newly found freedom. Kneeling down he calmly cut his throat, listening intently to the gurguleing of the blood as he rummadged through his newest victoms possesions.
"thanks for the watch" he said to the corpse as he sliped the item into his coat, padding softly towards the stairs to the deck. Hideing in the shadows, he silently tossed a dagger into the air, catching the blade between his fingers and snaping his wrist back into position to hurl it through the air and anyone who happen to pass by.
When he had reached the stairs he calmly slid his head out of the shadows to peer up towards the deck. "Hey!" he yelled to a guard causeing him to turn around to see who was calling him. With a sadistic grin he loosed the dagger at the gaurd, the blade sinking hilt deep into his throat wth a wet slirking noise, his body droped to the ground, his heel kicking violently against the deck as he clutched the wound gasping for air to fill his now blood filled lungs.
With a chuckle Orion calmly walked up the stairs, kneeling down only momentarily to retrieve his dagger and any posessions that the guard may of had "tsk, tsk my shady friend" Orion said half laughing at the corpse "now youve gone and stained your shirt"

The sound of a voice nearby turned Yousei's attention to a man that had just stepped out from below deck. She saw the dead pirate at his feet, and the satisfied grin across his face. The thought of a killer nearby, and with Karasu in her current condition, made her hair stand on end. "Karasu," she leaned in and spoke softly to her dragon, "You need to fly..." Her eyes traveled to a patch of red on the dragon's white scales, and she cringed. "Karasu.. Please...." After several minutes of no response, Yousei tried again, Karasu... ... Karasu..! ... Karasu! Can you hear me!? ~...Y..Yousei..?~ Yes.. Karasu, you have to fly! It's the only way we can get off of this ship! Karasu's wings twitched, but then lay just as limp as the rest of her body. ~You will have to heal me...~ Karasu said, showing her icy-blue eyes. Yousei looked to the gash on her dragon's side. How..? she replied, remembering the stray bullet that had grazed Camthalion. Karasu breathed weakly, seemingly reading Yousei's thoughts as she had on several occasions, ~Yes... Remove the.. metal..~ Yousei looked to the wound again and braced herself, shutting her eyes as she reached in with two fingers to pull out the bullet. It was in pretty deep, but she managed to remove it... Her dragon's blood dripped down to her palm as she examined it, before tossing it aside. Finally, she put her hand over her dragon, her palm glowing the familiar silvery-white color as she closed the wound. Unfortunately, Karasu had already lost a fair amount of blood.. Can you move..? Yousei asked, feeling the cold waves at her knees. Karasu's wings twitched again, and then again... and finally, she spread them completely and picked herself up. ~...Let's go..~ she said, weakly.
