Welcome to Gaia! ::

*The Concorde turned sharply and rammed into the Phantasm. The two hulls crashed together and the Concorde's crew tied and trapped the two ships together. Savard's crew threw grappling lines over the Phantasm's masts as Savar stood at the helm wearing the furs of a large bear.*

Savard: "Let em be the first to welcome you to battle. Who is your Captain? Let me see him before i kill him!"

*The Angela charged through the shots fired and rammed head on into the Bloody Mary. The Acorzada and Deliverence sailed for the Mystik.*

Zuan: "Sink them fast, once we have killed them all there will be no one stopping us from reaching Tortuga!"

Crew: "AYE!"

*The immobalized Angela had also stopped the Bloody Mary and its crew was now climbing onboard. Captain Jonas Richman walked from the helm to the bow, his sword in his hand, shouting to the crew.*

Richman: "Come on men, you worthless louts! Heave to and sink this wreck that's crossed our path!"

*The crew gathered rusted swords and pick axes from their hull and rushed from the bow onto the Bloody Mary. Richman followed his men onboard and searched for the captain.*

*Zuan stood on deck watching the Mystik as it came for him. Trevor Van Tyne accompanied him on deck.*

Zuan: "Back from the Bretwalda?"

Van Tyne: "Yes, I was un able to recruit anyone so the master has put me in your service."

Zuan: "I will need your experties as Captain onboard the Acorzada."

Van Tyne: "Yessir! And what shall become of the ship?"

Zuan: "Leave nothing behind, kill the Captain and his crew and then move on to the island. We have not finished until all of Tortuga is burned to the ground."

Van Tyne: "Aye Sir!"

*Van Tyne is guided to the Acorzada and placed in command as the two ships approach the Mystik.*

*The fog around the Master faded revealing an old man with a white beard standing at teh helm in the tattered clothes of a Captain. The slim od man stood motionless as the ship guided itself. The deck was a mess with skulls and decayed flesh, but after a second glance these piles began to move, it was the crew. The skeletal monsters moved about slowly gathering anything they could find sharp enough to carve human flesh. The first mate, "The Unblinking" A skeletan wrapped in a ragged cloak came to his captain as El Fantasma pushed his eyeball back into its socket.*

Unblinking: "Captain... We've come upon the enemy."

El Fantasma: "Very good, i am letting you off your leash. Do what ever you like to the souls onboard that ship. Tear their flesh and devour them alive, i could care less. The Captain, is mine."

Unblinking: "Very well, sir. I shall tell them men to show no mercy."

Crewmember: "Sir we are in range!"

El Fantasma: "Fire!"

Unblinking: "Fire!"

*The cannons of the Master come to life sending white smoke on the deck hiding the goulish crew.*

*Savard laughs spitting out bits of meat.*

Savard: "BWAHAHAHAHAHA! You, young lady? HAH!"

*Savard unstrapped his sword from his back.*

Savard: "Why don't you run along, wouldn't want you to get hurt now."

*Savard's crew erupts with laughter.*

*The wood of the Santo Columbia itself transforms into tenticles covering up the hole on each deck. Michael appears behind Faust and decaptiates him. Sticking Faust's head on a sword, Michael kicks the body over to a homonculus who has poked his arms out of the tenticle to hold teh body.*

Michael: "You have signed a book binding you to the service of an otherworldy demon. Hate to be the first to tell you this, but that pretty much makes you a pawn. I am not ashamed to admit it, I am Jones' Pawn... if not some other chess piece. I am a high rank, maybe I am a Knight, if not a Bishop. Unfortunatly, you command no one, mephistopholese seems to obey you, but he is just trying to win a bet. Sorry Mr. Faust, you're a pawn."

*Michael walks across the deck to Faust's body using the sword as a walking stick bouncing his head along the deck woth each step. Michael removes the head and reattaches it to the body and steps back.*

Michael: "Not to mention, that you are now fighting a man you have never met simply because another man, whom I assume you owe no debt to has commanded you to do so. Now's where you make your rebuttle."

*Michael moves to the side cutting through his neck completley. Michael's neck re attaches itself.*

Michael: "Mr. Faust, i know alot more about your condition than you assume and I also know that if you were truely happy. You would be dead. So son't lie to me Mr. Faust."

*Michael leans on his sword.*

Michael: "As far as your realtionship with Kibo, I could care less. I am not looking for an enemy in mr. Botch, he's just someone who got in my way. So now what? You and I are immortal. Mephistopholese can not use his powers on me or my ship. So now we are basically playing a littel game of see-who-can-bore-the-other-to-death-first?"

Michael: "Well, i don't care where you end up, i was just trying to say you can't be truely happy with Mephistopholese or else you'd be dead. Also, if you already have a mutual partnership with the devil you're in good favor where ever you wind up. As far as me surrendering, that isn't going to happen."

*smirk*

Michael: "I guess you can call me carefree, because i simple don't care about most things that happen today..."

*Kibo on deck with Storm.*

Michael: "... I don't care what happens to Kibo, whether he lives or whether he dies. Mr. Botch has proven to be quit a challenge. And then there is Storm, she is simply an aid. I give her a ship, and she helps me, that's all..."

*Michael's fleet is in battle his captains are fierce but do not intimidate Kibo's allies.*

Michael: "My captains, they have all signed the book, and their deaths seal the deal. Killing them only does me the favor. All i care for is the destruction of this island."

*Michael leans in on his sword.*

Michael: "So if you are just here to stall for time Kibo then you can leave. I may be eager to challenge him, but i will not barge in on the two of them. We both know Storm can handle herself. So what will it be Mr. Faust? If you like you may even take one of these Homonculi for your own amusement."

(lol i know i am a huge Forte fan, the admin said my old sig was too large =( On another note i updated my char bio with images of the captains i called into battle.)

Michael: "It is just a habit of mine, you knwo that old saying. "If they are not with you they are against you"? Well for the past month or so I've laid waste to every island and community that would not help me. So i guess it is a dangerous combination of revenge and boredom."
