I flew off the edge of my bed and fell flat on my face. the ship was rocking from side to side and I feared It was just the beginning. I opened the door of my cabin and looked down both sides of the hall, no one..there was no sign of presence on my deck. "They all must be up top" I muttered to myself. I tried to fight the fierce pulls and leans of the ships interior I could feel objects on the other side of the wall collide with one another and some shook the walls next to me. When I reached the the latter leading to the mainmast I gripped it tight and nearly tired myself climbing to the top.
I opened the hatch, and as soon as it opened my face was drenched in freezing water. I inched my last few steps to the top and when I knew I'd made it I stood up, held in to the side railing and down on the lower decks stood before me a raging death match. I could see bodies fall one after the other equal on both sides. It was as if the world was coming to an end, for us anyway.
"Ryuga, Come down we need you figlio!!" said a voice. I had soon realized though, that it was my father who was calling me. I went with the rail trying to avoid the fight. I stepped up to my father, who was stained with blood, none of it was his, I wasn't surprised to find out.
"This is were you earn your stripes me son we are in a mess"
"What is happening father, are these men..?"
"Yes, they are" He stroked the back of my soaked hair and reached for his right side.
"Take this my son you'll need this"
I saw before me a stunning silver sword with a grip design for a king It was light weight and swift I could feel the power I possessed taking it from my fathers soaked hands. "I will not fail father"
"Don't do anything brave Ryuga" My father said to me wagging his finger at me.
"I wont..." suddenly one of the men of the crew came up to us.
"Signore Ryuzaki, There are too many for them if we don't take this ship before long then we are certain to die!"
"Were is your faith my boy!!" my father yelled at him.
It was hard to make out anything they were saying in the howl of the wind. but that mattered little I gripped the sword tight and went off as I was told. The scene was breathtaking, one after the other I could see them fall in front of me I was afraid, but I knew what I had to do. With tight hand on the hilt I swung the sword over my head in a spinning motion and brought it downward there lied the body of yet another dead soldier my my hand. I wasn't too sure how I did it because I had my eyes closed that whole time. but now after that I was no longer afraid.
I felt, confidence, certain that we were not going to lose. I felt the freezing bite of the wind and water chip away at my skin as I continued to fight, the sails were roaring and I could spot some crew men attempting to take them down.
"Su vida es mío!!" Said one of the soldiers. I froze up as he swung his sword over his head but suddenly my body had moved itself again and I dodged the shot and quickly cut off the mans arm with a powerful swing. what he had just said. I tried not to think on it for so long but there language was rather odd.
"Wipe quei bastardi off the deck" I heard a voice shout. Then I could see men jumping off the royal sail into the water with a great dive. were they ordered to swim to the other ship and bored it? no something else was going on. as I finished off my last opponent I went to my father, he was standing on the side of the quarterdecks. "Father!!" I yelled over the howl of the storm. "It seems there not going to take Ill Falco without a fight"
"Yes they are persistent but we have a little surprise for our guess its what we do best." My father smiled at me and ran back into the battle.
What did he mean by that I wondered but nevertheless I took my sword and continued to fight. one after the other I believe I accumulated a total of about eight-teen men dead by my hand but then more and more started to come. It was the biggest group yet but then the captain yelled out.
"Move her away now!!!" what did he mean by that.
After that the ship began to move slightly breaking the connection of the two ships I saw some soldiers plunge into the dark abyss of the sea and after a bit we were out of reach but not far enough.
"There's no time captain we have...three, two, one!!"
A crackle of what sounded like thunder pierced the air.
"HIT THE DECK!!!"
