[Oh thank Merlin, someone else to help.

Draco's just climbed onto his broom and is hovering there a few feet off the ground. He throws his arm out in the direction of the ship.]

That.

["That" being another large splash of water and wow these pirates have bad aim apparently. Or maybe they're just warning shots. Presumably they'll want to search the ship eventually, after all.

Behind their own ship, a short distance away, several other ships are starting to box theirs in.]

Some arseholes are attacking us! Want a lift over?

[Being under attack is something Roxas can deal with, the change in his expression is immediate. Serious. Focused.]

A lift is good. We have to stop them from sinking the ship, or everyone's gonna get mad.

[He hoists himself up onto Draco's broom, putting his arms around his middle to stabilize himself.]

[That earns him a slight eye roll.]

Gosh, you think so?

[He waits for Roxas to settle himself, and then shoots off toward the nearest ship. He still has his wand out, too, and he fires a quick spell at the pirate in the ship's crow's next, knocking him over the railing so that they can land there.]

It shouldn't be too hard to take these blokes out...

[Draco did see some of what Roxas could do when they were fighting that kraken, and he heard something about the guy taking out a Navy base? So.

He throws a quick Shield Charm at his broom, then banishes it to the skies until he needs it again. Another Shield Charm for himself, then he aims his wand at Roxas.]

Do you need any protective charms?

[Probably not, but it'd be rude not to ask.]

[He does think so, but he'll ignore Draco's sarcasm seeing as it's an emergency situation. Getting him onto the deck is all he needs is to get him on his feet, summoning both keyblades in hand.]

I don't know, but I don't think so. I'll be okay.

[He twirls Oathkeeper in his hand once and sets his sights on the first man closest to him.

Time to show him what messing with Roxas earns you. He meets the man's sword with Oblivion, pushing it aside and slashes into him with Oathkeeper with brutal ease.]

[Shrugs and aims his wand at the deck below instead, firing off a spell at some other arsehole who's been taking shots at them. He's plenty content to hang out up here for a moment or two, using long-range attacks to take out as many people as he can.

There are several pirates starting to climb up the rigging, though, so he'll likely have to jump down onto the deck eventually.

For now, he figures he might as well make their lives difficult and quickly sets the ropes they're climbing on fire. ...Which is probably only going to spread and means that he and Roxas likely have a limited amount of time to clear this ship before they'll have to hop over to one of the others. Oops.

Oh well. He won't be so quick about using that spell next time, but it's amusing watching the pirates try to scramble away from the sudden flames popping up around them.]

[Roxas is not the least bit afraid of a little fire, in fact he doesn't even pay much attention to that. He's had exposure to Lea for a long time.

He moves, pivoting left and right between the Navy men, slashing with his keyblades without hesitation. They will sink their ship and that cannot be allowed, he won't allow it. Anger rising, he drives Oblivion through a man's chest.

There is shouting and more men rush over to him because he's been recognized. It isn't that surprising, since Roxas is wanted dead or alive.]

[Looks like Draco might have to get down there and join Roxas sooner than he thought. Though probably the other boy can take all those guys without a problem, but still. There's only so much picking off he can do from up here.

He focuses on an empty patch of deck, concentrating...

Then he spins into himself and, with a loud CRACK, disappears from the crow's nest as he Apparates down to the deck, reappearing again quite abruptly. He wobbles for a moment, because that's actually the first time he's ever done that, but hey, nothing is splinched, he didn't leave any body parts behind (that he can tell), so huzzah! Success.

Then he whirls around and blasts some of the pirates trying to attack Roxas, sending them skidding backwards under his attack.]

[It's great Draco could join him, a real help. There are many of them and only one of him and although he is taking them down in one or two strokes, he is beginning to take damage already.

He's surrounded. He's feeling caged. Roxas won't stand for that.

Surrounded is always what triggers his most devastating attack, and since most of them are surrounding him, when he draws up and lets out a cry, columns of light bursting forth out of nowhere and taking out a very large portion of those around him, well, it's easy to understand how he got through that base.]

[Jumping over the rails of the ship, Sting flips up]

WHITE DRAGON'S ROAR!

[The holy energy explodes from his mouth and hits some of the goons that Roxas didn't take out. He then lands on the deck...]

[...And promptly gets motion sick from the slight rocking of the boat. He covers his mouth, trying not to vomit]

ugh... What's happening?

Edited 2015-03-22 23:12 (UTC)

[Jumps back at that sudden attack, whirling around to face the newcomer. Oh hey, good, someone else from their crew IS around!

...Though Draco's excitement is dampened rather quickly as a sick look washes over Sting's face.]

Please tell me you're joking.

Trust me, I hate this more than you do.

[Standing shakily he does manage to dodge a goon and, accidentally, send him over board]

[Roxas looks back a moment.]

Sting!

[Never take your eyes off of an opponent, they got a good cut in his arm. Roxas turned angry and brutally slashed him with a keyblade. Just rude is what that was. There's only a few people left and he moves fast in an attempt to make them fall.]

[Draco scowls at the jerk who attacked Roxas, though Roxas makes quick work of him -- so Draco aims at the guy behind him instead, Accio-ing his sword right out of his hands and sending it flying into the shoulder of another pirate.

He glances up at the fire he started earlier, which has taken over the sails by now and is starting to work its way down the mast, then darts another look at Sting.]

I don't have any potions on me that will help! Being on the water causes this?

... No. I get motion sickness on any vehicle.

[Manages to focus enough to punch a pirate in the face with a small amount of holy energy, sending him flying]

[Roxas makes quick work of the last few and stops to look at the cut in his arm. Bleeding and making a mess, certainly, but nothing vital looks cut and he can still fight. Just to be sure, he casts a cure spell over it. It should be enough to stop the bleeding.]

[Just arches an eyebrow at him.]

Well, that's unfortunate.

[They can figure it out on the next ship, though. There's some cracking above them as some of the rigging starts to snap, falling to catch the railings around the ship and spreading the flames.

Draco summons his broom and hops on as it swoops down, then gestures to the other two.]

Come on! I can carry both of you but someone will have to hang down!

[Or swim or something, but probably only two of them will actually be able to sit on the broom.]

Side affect of being raised by a dragon. You get dragon level senses.

I'll hang down. Don't want to vomit on anyone.

Time to go. We have more people to stop.

[He hops on behind Draco again and holds out his hands to Sting.]

Want me to hang onto you?

Yeah, that'll work.

[Takes Roxas' hands]

That makes absolutely no sense at all.

[Seeing as how they have dragons on their ship that do just fine, and also that's definitely not something he ever learned about back home in his Care of Magical Creatures class.

He rises up into the air a little more and then waits for Sting to grab hold of Roxas before shooting off to the next ship. It's a bit more weight than he's used to, but he manages easily enough. They're hovering over the deck of the next ship soon enough, and Draco waits for the others to unload themselves before hopping off and banishing the broom to the skies again.]

I could try floating you, but I don't know how much it'll help.

[Quickly disarms several of the surrounding pirates who thought a nice welcoming gift would be a shower of bullets that bounce right off Draco's Shield Charm.]

It's how it works in my world. You get raised by a dragon and taught dragon slayer magic by them you take on dragon qualities.

I'll explain it later. Just make me float in place and I'll use my breath attacks on them.

[That charm is very helpful because Roxas has no desire to be shot again. He pushes off the deck, leaving Draco to sort out Sting.

It isn't that he isn't curious, but time is wasting and he has Navy men to take down with his keyblade.

He smirks a little and starts slashing and hacking away with his keyblades. No one is going to sink their ship if he can help it.]

Fair warning, levitating humans isn't actually possible. Best I can do is cast the spell on your clothes and hope that they can hold you up.

[He points his wand at Sting and executes the usual swish and flick motion.]

Wingardium Leviosa!

[Welp, we'll see how well that works out.]

[Floating in midair is better. But it takes a moment for Sting to recover from the motion sickness. It's also slightly uncomfortable. Like his pants are riding up.]

[Once recovered however, Sting smirks. This is something he can deal with]

WHITE DRAGON'S ROAR!

[He roars and the holy energy spills forth, crashing into the hall of the enemy ship]
