(Beckett stops and turns to Randomman.) Beckett: Still trying to fight that musical tone in your head? (Randomman grins at Beckett.) Randomman: you’re not the real Becket are you? (Beckett starts laughing.) The Witch Doctor: kukuku I was wondering when you would figure it out! Randomman: figures. Is Beckett even on this ship? The Witch Doctor: kuku why should you care? Randomman: tell me. The Witch Doctor: fine he’s on the ship. Randomman: ok why are you here? The Witch Doctor: Why can’t the good old Doc visit his two favorite pets? (Randomman punches the Doctor in the gut. The Doctor takes some time to recover.) The Witch Doctor: Kukukuku that was cruel. (Two hands burst through the ship and hold down the Doctor.) Big Gun: You’re not running away this time. (The Witch Doctor smiles and puts up his hands in surrender.) The Witch Doctor: Looks like I’ve been caught eh?

Dusk grinned, enjoying the smell of blood in the air as she took out the soldiers. She stroked her blade, tasting the blood off of her fingertip. -- Norrington had sent nigh all the soldiers that had boarded the Hangman to Davy Jone's locker. He wiped his sword off on the side of the ship and sheathed it, taking up his position at the helm once more. -- Beckett watched the Captain and the First Mate of the Hangman as they masacred sailor after sailor on his ship. Interesting. They could make useful allies. -- Dusk had taken out a good portion of the marines when she saw him. A short, smug little thing in a tightly curled wig. So this was the one who took everything from her. "You!" She near roared. "Cutler Beckett, today you die by my blade!" She was before him in what would have been a blink of an eye to a human. She held her sword to his neck just gently enough that a thin line of blood slipped below it. "My name is Captain Dusk Rose, remember it because it will be the last you'll ever learn."

Almost out of nowhere Zéphyrine tackled Dusk and pinned her to the deck, she could just take her anger out on these people! Zéphyrine considered putting this girl out of her misery, but decided not to. "Kill him, I dare you!" Zéphyrine leaned in her face, bearing her fangs and darn near growling. A little less than a second later, Zéphyrine withdrew with a look of shock, "You're a vampire too?" Distraction. . . XD

Aramis saw Dusk facing that short creature of pure evil, Cutler Beckett. He grinned and began walking over to her side, only to see her tackled by a girl wearing very pretty clothes. Oh bugger he thought, and began sprinting towards her, only trip over a fresh corpse. Picking himself up, he puched a marine in the face, sending him reeling back with a broken nose. Bloody marines
He made his way behind Beckett, and carefully placed his sword across his throat. 'Hello Beckett' he spat. 'You probably don't know who I am, but I know you. My name is Aramis Nemo, and you took something from me that can never be replaced, my lucky guinea. That, and my best friend. Now, if you want to live, would you be so kind as to call of your attack dog, who is admittedly very pretty, and ask her to step to one side.' He spoke fairly calmly for a mild psychotic frenchman, managing to clearly pronunciate each word.
Whilst this was happening, Steve had managed to find himself a position in the rigging, and waited for the opportune moment in which to strick yet another hapless victim. Today the legend of the vicious killer attack sloth would spread further around the world, spreading fear, madness, and humour in it's wake.

"Wretch!" Dusk spat in Zephyrine's face. As far as she was concerned, anyone that stood between her and Beckett might have been him himself. "You there, Zephyrine. This frenchman would like it if you'd kindly step aside." Beckett said calmly. "Perhaps he is a friend of yours." Norrington had boarded the ship as soon as he'd seen Dusk tackled, and, despite being the youngest and weakest vampire there, stood ready to aid her if need be.

Zéphyrine pulled off of Dusk, staring for about three quarters of a second before turning to face Aramis. She simply stared at him, knowing if she dared attack it would take Beckett's head off. "Release him, you've already taken the ship," She grunted, "I don't see why yo need to kill every last one." Man, these people made her more frustrated by the minute, there were too many of them, more like two many. Haha. They were definitely more tough than she had expected, too.

'Zéphyrine was it? Is that captain, lady, or other? Not that it matters to me. As to this wretch, the Captain and I have unfinished business with him. It would be a shame to have to kill him quickly though, and if I let him go to finish you, he might escape.' He looked thoughtful, pulled his empty pistol and began to tap Beckett's head with it. He turned to face Dusk and Norrington who stood side by side.
'Captain, what should we do with this worm and the pretty lady? By the looks of it this ship won't be going anywhere fast. It would be a shame to let this opportunity pass us by, but it would seem that we just won't have enough time to truely savour the experience. Do I let him go?' He wait, sword shaking in his hand as he restrained himself from doing anything rash.

Dusk laughed coldy. "We kill him!" She drew her pistol, but before she could shoot Norrington grabbed her and threw them both down onto the deck. "What are you-?!" Before she could move again a cannon ball flew over them right where her head had been. "Th, thanks Norri but..." More cannon balls flew by and she turned to see a ship approaching them on either side. She looked at Beckett longingly, then scrambled up. "Sailors, back to the Hangman!" She drew her sword and grabbed the nearest rope, Norrington followed suit. Revenge could wait, she'd already lost Viktor to the EITC, she wasn't going to let them take her ship.
Beckett's hand reached to his neck where the cut Dusk had made was still bleeding feebily. He noticed that he was still holding his tea cup in his other hand. "Most interesting." He looked over at the sails of the incoming ships. "Not exactly on time, they shall have to have a talking to."

Zéphyrine watched the others leave, then turned to Beckett, "It's not worth it. You should be grateful you're alive." She then walked past him and went back to Beckett's quarters, where she sat in her newfound spot beside the door, leaning against the wall and waiting for what he had to say about what just happened. Hm, that's random. . .A crew of vampirates??? Strange, however, she didn't want to find out more about them yet, for they had just become her enemy.

'Steve, here boy!' Steve fell out of the rigging, landing expertly in his waiting arms. 'You did good today Steve. Soon your name shall be a legend.' Grabbing hold of a rope with his free hand, he swung back over to the Hangman, misjudged the distance and hit the railing instead of landing gracefully on the desk like the other two had done. 'Bugger' he muttered as he pushed Steve over the top, then pulled himself up.
Already the crew was cutting the grapples, freeing the ships from each other. He looked towards the approaching sails, but couldn't tell what they were. 'Rob! What's shoting us?' He shouted up to the crow's nest where the legless Rob had stayed throughout the battle. He laughed to himself as he saw Steve already back in his favourite spot, swinging in the breeze once more.
'Two Royal Navy corvettes coming up fast Sir!'
'Full Sails! Lets try and get as much distance as possible from these wretches as we can. Hopefully they'll stop to help our friends over there, although I have my doubts.' Aramis moved with speed, unaware of the looks of fear that the crew were giving him. The Midnight Hangman picked up speed, and Captain Dusk guided the ship away from trouble. Well Viktor, it looks like you'll have to wait a little longer until we can avenge you. But at least Dusk has shown that she can look out for the ship and crew. She handled herself well today my old friend.

"Aramis wipe that blood of your face, you look bloody awful." Captain Dusk said as she concentrated on getting them away. Cannon fire was splintering wood all around her and it was trying her concentration. Norrington made sure that every last soldier that had boarded was dead and then returned dutifully to the Captain's side. He was somewhat surprised at how well she'd handled herself, and some of his old respect came back. -- Beckett didn't like being told what he 'should' do, but she had saved his life so he decided not to argue for the time being. He set about ordering the crew to repair the sails so that they could be on their way again before returning to his quarters where he poured two cups of tea instead of one. ((that should be worthy payment for the whole life debt thing xP))

Zéphyrine watched him, her energy suddenly gone. Her stomach cramped, reminding her how hungry she was. There were plenty of dead bodies outside, and she considered them, but then decided not to. Closing her eyes, she rested her head against the wall. "You seemed pretty confident even in the face of death. You don't fear it, do you?" her voice was hoarse, and she barely whispered. However, it was probably more out of laziness than anything else. XD

Beckett chuckled coldly. "I've had my share of death in the past." He looked at the scars on his hand as he held his tea. "I've also had my share of inciting it." He added casually. He sat on the bed stiffly. "And what about you, 'vampire'? If you really are such a thing then perhaps your hands are not exactly free from blood yourself."

Zéphyrine sighed and replied quietly, "They haven't been for the longest time." She got up heavily, walked over to him and flopped on the bed with her back to him, "But as pathetic as it seems I try not to. I don't have a choice." Lifting her head slightly, she turned to him, "You said you've been through death, if not like me, how did you come back? I don't know any other way, but I wouldn't doubt it." Dood, this guy must be a zombie! or a ghost, that's krazee, unless he's a magical fanciful unicorn princess.

He chuckled again over his tea. "That is a story, for another day." he sipped his tea. ((man he drinks it more than me)) "Now, where were we." He smirked.
