Kibo: Hold on a second.
Kibo places his hand on the deck, and thousands of runes fly across the deck, onto every board, bolt, and piece of machinery that the ship was made of.
Kibo: I haven't told anyone this since I first came to Tortuga, but spirit tied objects can't be broken. Look.
He points overboard, to the cannonballs, which were now bouncing off the ship, instead of penetrating the hull.
Kibo: Alright, back to the matter at hand.
Kibo swings Charon's Lash at a cannonball flying overhead, wrapping it around, and swinging it at Arronax's weapon knocking it to the side.
Kibo: Charon's Lunge!
The whip straightens out, and lengthens, forming into a long pike, the handle made from vertebrae. He throws it, running forward beside it with Farind and Renji crossed in front of him, ready to strike.

Storm stopped and just stared a moment as Kibo manipulated her precious sword like that. She payed for the distraction as the pickaxe ripped yet another hole in her shirt but failed to scratch her ebony skin. She scowled.
"Stop ripping holes in my shirt! It cost me a pretty penny!"
She raiased the wand again and blasted away the offending man. Her sword blocked the cutlass and jumped back away from the and club.

*The crewmen ran up deck, finished with their task only to find that the ship had become indestructable.*
Crewman: "Awww. CRUD! Captain we've got an issue!"
*Arronax, thrown aside from Charon's lunge spun over to the side rail and watched as his cannon fire was innefective.*
Arronax: "Come back and find SOMETHING to rid their ship of that spell!"
*He spun once more smashing a hole in the deck before the charging Kibo knocking him off course and followed pursuit with his sword.*

Kibo laughs, opening his hand to reveal the string extending from it. He pulls it, sending Charon's Lunge flying at Arronax again, but from behind this time. Meanwhile, Kibo rushes forward again, kicking the hilt of his blade, and sending it into the deck. He kicks it again, and it gets plunged deeper, unable to be easily pulled from the wood.

*Arronax, distracted by Kibo's attack is thrown forward by a critical hit from Charon's lung. Arronack struggles to get back up. Mean while his crew has found what they were looking for, a wooden spike carved with images of the Kraken. They carry it over to the Dagger and slam it into the deck. Phantsmal tenticles eliminate the ruins and fade once their job is done. Before Kibo can react Arronx tackles him from behind and pull s them both through the banister and onto the main deck. *

Kibo touches the 7th rune marking on his right arm while struggling with Arronax, and touches the deck. Immediately, all the cannon holes patch up, and large branches erupt belowdecks, picking up the boxes of explosives, and throwing them overboard.
Kibo: There, that takes care of that. Meanwhile, Gregory! It's your turn!
The L' Espadon sinks about fifteen feet deeper in the water.
Kibo: I ordered Gregory to stow away on your ship. He's a Terramancer. Right now, your ship is straining to keep about 500 tons of dirt afloat. She won't last long. And neither will you.
The skin around the wound caused by Charon's Lunge had turned black, and it was spreading, peeling away the flesh and muscle.
Kibo: I'd say you only have a few minutes of life left. If you have any other fancy tricks you're gonna try, I suggest you try them now.

Storm, intending to lunge and kill the third and final crew member attacking her and staggered when the ship dropped.
"Oi! Warn a girl when you are going to move the ship!"

*Arronax strained with the pain on his back and stabed a dagger into Kibo's ruin marked arm. Arronax held Kibo down and with one arm removed the armor chest plate revealing a vest strapped with explosive.*
Arronax: "Ar revoir!"
*Arronax detonates the vest.*

Storm, still looking back at Kibo angrily, scowled.
"Oh bloody hell! What is it with these peaople and explosives!"
She traced a firey rune in the air that flew into Kibo's chest and faded.

Kibo pushes the charred corpse off him, and stands up, revealing glinting blood-red armor, covering his entire body.
Kibo: Charon's Guard. It's quite useful for avoiding explosions.

*The hull of L' Espadon begins to creak, it is being called back to the book. Kibo and Storm have only moments before is breaks down completely. Th ecrew of the ship slowly return to their cursed state.*

Storm jumps between the small gap of the ships and imediatly buries her blade into the back of another of L'Espadon's crew man. She sighed. This really was getting boring and monotinous. Not quiet as fun as she used to think it was.
"Ranu! Get your teams and finish up the chores, please. The game has been won and it wasn't nearly as fun as I thought it might be. I was hoping for a little more sport but, eh, it's the french, isn't it?"

Kibo touches the third marking on his arm, jumping down onto the water. He stands, and walks across the surface back to the Dagger.

As the French sailor blocked the attack, and slashed down, Ranu rocked back, rolling over completely, and leaping to his feet. Watching the soldier abandon his sword and raise his pistol, Ranu smirked, giving a calm backhand that sent the pistol, and most of the mans hand go overboard, "You needed that?" Ranu asked, suddenly stabbing forwards, he burried his blade into the man's leg, slicing fast to catch the other, making his legs buckle, then kicked him over after the hand, "Then go get it." He spun at Storms order, "Rightio." he cupped his bloody hands, and called out, "DAGGERS! TO ME!"
Without checking if he was supported, the only mortal officer of the Dagger sprinted at the gap, jumping slightly onto the guard rail, then using the downward force to push his tired body over at the French. A blood thirst roar escaped his lips as he crashed into a group of them, "Thanks," he muttered, getting up, helping the French guy up, then killing him without warning. He spun towards the bridge, then shook his head. Glancing towards the entry to the ships lower decks, the grinned, he'd create a storm under the ship. Breaking into a sprint, Ranu shoulder barged past sailors. His increased adrenaline meant he hadn't realised he'd been stabbed by one of the pick axes in a way that wouldn't kill him outright, but would if he didn't stop the blood. Leaping down the stairs, the Formor Second Lieutenant grunted, then swung his sword at a man guarding the stairs to the lowest desk. "Die," he snarled. His sword suddenly gave a bright burst of blue, and Ranu swept his sword at the mans neck, looking rather shocked that the head was sent flying. "Nice." he muttered, then ran down to the bottom. He knew there was troops behind him, but he planned to keep them busy, and give Storm the fun of 'shooting rats in a barrel'. Putting himself against a corner to prevent him being able to retreat, Ranu waited for the French, breathing softly, and wondering why he could hear blood bubbling as he breathed. He sneered as he saw a sailor, then lept forwards at him, his sword swinging in a half circle at the mans side.

Kibo walks up the outer wall of the Dagger, and onto the ship, changing Charon's Guard back to a ring on a string.
