PIRATES vs. NAVY BATTLE LOG

[highseasmods]

December 9th finds some new arrivals to this world, the same curious phenomenon that's been occurring for the past few months.

This time, however, the Navy is prepared -- or so they think.

They've got troops stationed around the island, and ships on the water to stop any arrogant, foolhardy pirates and would-be sailors from trying to make port.

So hit them with all you've got, but they're not going down easily...

Tcch. Alright, better get to lookin'. [Ace squared his eyes towards the platforms beyond the pier, beginning to focus.]

Riku, stay awake.

[It was a question that would have been odd in most cases. When it came to Ace, there were a dozen more reasons why he felt he needed to bring Riku along, but precisely one reason why he had to say that one thing. In a way, he didn't need to ask.

It was just courtesy, since he couldn't quite control what he would do next. Breathing in, Ace shut his eyes and then the air went stagnant--a gust of wind pushing from his body and sweeping through the pier. That 'pulse' from his body struck in all directions for over two hundred yards. It attacked the willpower of everyone around him, unforgiving in who it assailed. Only combatants strong enough to stand up to him would stay conscious.

Which was proven as soldiers began collapsing, one by one.]

'Cause, now I'm gettin' serious.

[darknessinside]

[Wasn't sure quite what to expect just then, but he braced himself against that 'pulse', feeling the wind push right past him, and by the time he looked up again there were bodies collapsing to the ground all over the place.]

Whoa...

[Okay, now that 'stay awake' comment made more sense. Ace seemed to step up his game with every new fight they came across. It was really impressive.]

...You could've opened with that.

[hiken]

This is a special occasion. I gotta know if it's safe to use it.

[Even if Riku wasn't affected that much, it wouldn't be good if he used it over and over around his crew--not without making sure he found out a way to direct it. He knew pops never used it because of his health, so he always figured it was a good reason to avoid getting used to flashing it around. Ace wasn't sure what it took away from him and if that pressure could hurt his friends if he used it a lot.

But, at the moment, it kept his friends from getting hurt immediately.]

I don't wanna rely on it, but now that I know how many there are, we've gotta be even more serious.

[darknessinside]

[Nods, looking around at who's left.]

So these guys are going to be more of a challenge?

[Takes the Keyblade off his shoulder, swinging it around once before holding it in front of him as he slides into a defensive stance.]

[hiken]

The ones that're still standing, yeah. Anyone who can stand after something like that needs your full attention.

[Even then, Ace himself was disturbed. There were ten times more men still standing and ready to fight than he thought there would be.

Either he got weaker or the Navy was getting stronger.]

Still gotta clear the pier, though. If we can keep it intact, we win.

[darknessinside]

Clear the pier. Got it.

[He's pretty confident. Unless these guys start opening Corridors of Darkness or throwing lightning at him, he's pretty sure he's faced worse. Still, best not to cross the line from confident to overconfident and wind up in trouble somehow.]

I'll take the right side.

[hiken]

Oh, you wanna split 'em in half?

[Ace grinned, feeding Riku a familiar grin. It was the one he set on his face right before he started blowing things apart.]

Are you tryin' to kiss up to your captain, Riku? [Ace reached down, picking up an axe out of an unconscious soldier's hands.]

[darknessinside]

[Shoots him a grin right back.]

Just can't let you have all the fun, is all.
