PIRATES vs. NAVY BATTLE LOG



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...

[Likewise, Mami didn't change back to her normal outfit.]

Let's sail to the nearest island, then.

[She gave Homura a reassuring smile.]

And if they're foolish enough to send more ships after us, we'll deal with them like we did with this one.

[ Homura nods, feeling a bit more confident due to the battle and- strangely enough- Mami's approval. She's willing to go with her crewmates' proposals, especially now that she knows they can take a Navy ship in a straight-up fight without expending TOO much effort. ]

[ If she'd known they would be fighting ships, though, she would have stored a few rocket launchers in her shield before being brought to this world. ]


Then we'll go for the blockade. Zeref's right; we need this port, and we need it badly.

Do you think we'll be able to take on two ships at once, if it comes down to that?

[ Zeref was quiet, for a moment. On foot, those soldiers didn't stand a chance against them. Heck, they didn't stand a chance against any of them alone, let alone all three at once. But if this ship got damaged, that was it. Zeref had no way to repair damage to a ship. Of course, one of the other two might, but at the moment, he didn't know that, nor was he in a hurry to get into a situation in which he'd have to find out. ]

Not cleanly.

[ A curt response. If they're going to fight two at once, Zeref will need to stop holding back. ]

How much of your magic are you able to use before you need to cleanse your Soul Gems?
deadlyribbons: (Talking)

We do, indeed.

[Mami felt more confident too, happier even. This fight had boosted her. It felt like the good old days when she used to fight witches with Sakura, and later Madoka. Though there was that little voice at the back of her mind, telling her that this wasn't for her, that friendship and partnership never lasted with her. But she chose to ignore this voice for now.]

If it comes down to that, we will, Homura-san.

[She turned to Zeref.] We're fine for now. We didn't use a lot of magic for this fight, thanks to you, Zeref-san.

We may not be able to avoid fighting two ships, going through the blockade. We'll have to disable one at range before focusing on the other. But Tomoe-san is right. We used less magic here than we normally do when fighting Witches, and we can go a few Witch battles without having to cleanse our Soul Gems.

[ Homura crosses her arms behind her back. She feels much the same way as Mami does, though she has no way of knowing that; she's gone so long without relying on anyone that it's a small shock when she realizes that she's missed this sort of camaraderie, or at least the understanding they have with each other. ]

Full speed ahead. Through the gap left in the blockade by the ship we disabled.

Fine.

[ A simple, one word answer. Zeref folded his hands in front of him again, focusing his magic. That same eerie, purple glow began emanating from his body again, channeling his Living Magic. They'd need to focus on two ships at once. He'd need something a bit bigger than Nemesis this time around. ]

Avoid the ship off the starboard side. This spell is very dangerous, even if I am altering it a bit.

[ It was the only thing he said. A large red circle began forming underneath it. ]

The ravenous serpents of the River Styx...

[ He began slowly. Whoever's driving the ship, they'd better avoid that circle. ]
deadlyribbons: (Aiming)

[personal profile] deadlyribbons 2013-12-20 02:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Understood.

[Mami stepped a bit closer to Zeref. Even if she was still standing at a reasonable distance, his magic was kinda fascinating. Probably as fascinating to her as his magic had been to her just a few moments earlier.

She noticed the red circle of course and the efforts the captain of the ship was suddenly making to try and avoid it out of sheer conservation instant.
]

Homura-san. Maybe we can let Zeref-san deal with this ship on his own while we take care of the other one?

[And even as was waiting for Homura's answer, she already summoned a bigger shooting gun and aimed it at the second ship blocking their way.]

We'll be careful.

[ Really, it feels like they've barely scratched the surface of what Zeref can do. Homura's morbidly fascinated, but between Zeref's own reluctance and how uniquely powerful his magic is, she's not sure she ever wants to find out. ]

[ To say that she trusts him to do the right thing would be misleading; it's more that she trusts that he knows what he's doing, and won't cause any harm to them. Homura can't spare any more attention on his spell, though, glancing over to where Mami's already begun her own spell. ]


Alright. I'll stop them from retaliating.

[ This time, they don't have Zeref's summoned demons to distract the Navy, and the sailors on the second ship are already readying their firearms and cannons as they close in quickly. Homura reaches into her shield space, pulls out a non-magical pistol, takes aim, and... she hesitates. Grits her teeth. ]

[ Homura's shield clacks loudly. ]

[ In the next instant, all in the exact same moment, most of the sailors on the side facing The Hope yell in pain as they're hammered by expertly-placed shots. Bright spots of blood are visible even from here, on arms and shoulders and other hopefully non-fatal targets. Homura lowers her smoking pistol, her mouth set in a grim line. ]

... Alive.

[ Something started changing on the ship. Long planks of wood, parts of the mast, cannons, even the ship's rudder began changing into massive serpent-like creatures. The ship began taking on water immediately from the ship's mass being destabilized like that, and panicked screams could be heard all over the ship. The serpents then began slamming into the ship, only damaging it further. Soldiers were knocked overboard by the flailing creatures, with Zeref quickly releasing control over his creations. They'd sink to the bottom of the seas, and Zeref didn't complete their transformations; they were literally attached to the ship. The reason for this is because abusing this spell has been known to have adverse effects on its users, so he tends to use it sparingly. After all... he's not used to having to hold back. He'd have rather just used Death Magic and called it a day. ]

Pathetic.

[ Zeref turned back to Homura, just in time to see Mami summoning a much larger gun, and for Homura to summon an entirely different type of gun. It appeared to be much more technologically advanced than the muskets the soldiers were using. And her aim was perfect, unless that was also a part of her magic. Shooting that many people with that precise of an accuracy over that kind of distance, while also accounting for the natural movement of the waves against the ships, was impressive, even to Zeref. ]
