47 The Second Trial VI : Sea Battles 2

The ships turrets came to life as they spun backwards, pointing at the enemy behind us. Qitar didn't stand on ceremony as she opened fire on the ship that shot at us, pelting a ridiculous amount of laser fire at it. However contrary to my expectations, said ship did not go up in a ball of flames like I wanted it to, instead a massive golden shield came to life around the structure of the ship, intercepting our assault.

"Mack what the hell kind of ship is that, and who the fuck owns it?" I asked Mack as I turned my gaze towards the ship.

"I have no idea captain, they must have left Patmos after we did, and even then development of that ship must have been kept under wraps. I don't know who we're dealing with." He replied.

The feeling of annoyance in the pit of my stomach was not one I've felt in quite a while, but it was there. Just from their first attack alone, I knewmy ship did not have a strong enough defense to withstandan open sea gun battle with whoever owns that ship, plus seeing as they just turned a tidal wave into bubbles, I'm sure a weapon or artifact as powerful or even more so than Thalasio Spathi was within the hands of our assailants. We had to give this one up.

"Darke full speed ahead, get us the fuck away from this place, and do it fast! I get you some cover. The rest of you go below deck, Qitar give me some suppressive fire, and Dinah, pull up the deck's shielding, the sea's about to get wild."

They all scrambled to do as I said, with Darke moving the ship forwards. Even though Acheron seems a little to frail to handle the weapons she has on board, the girl was pretty damn fast. Heck I don't want to brag but, this baby might be the fastest sea faring vessel in new Gaia, just like the black pearl once was.

Qitar did not stop firing the turrets at the ship chasing us, though all of our shots were intercepted by the shield covering the ship. In contrast to the Acheron, the enemy ship was our opposite in every way. First of all, it's color scheme was a mixture of white and gold, and then it was three times bigger than the Acheron, both in size and height.

That ship looked like the vessel of a great general, why Acheron just looked like a black bandit. But no matter, this black bandit would achieve great things, I will make sure of it. We pulled away from them in record time, in fact if this was a race, it would be like comparing a cheetah competing against a baboon.

But just puling away wasn't enough, we needed cover, or at the very least to slow them down. And this would not be about me protecting my ship from their assault, it would just be my attempt at Letty revenge. With the shielding over the deck, the Acheron looked like a black bullet on the calm sea. The shield protects the deck from the elements, and works the same way tinted windows functioned. They couldn't see in, but we could see outside.

I swung Thalasio Spathi, loving how much power it gave me over the seas. It was rather intoxicating to be honest, but I kept my goal in sight. Since these guys could turn a 70 foot tidal wave into a cloud of bubbles, let's see if they can do the same to the sea they're sailing on.

I started twirling the sea sword, moving around like I was practicing a sword routine, and if I had to be honest, I actually was, but for now this was the motion I was most comfortable with, to do exactly what I had in mind. And what was that you might ask,...I was making a storm.

*BOOoooOoooM!*

And there comes the thunder, followed quite closely by dark clouds, rain and rolling, churning and turning of the very ocean itself. My anger fueled her, and she responded, carrying out my wrath to my enemies. Darke took us out of the range of the storm, but as for that other ship, they can kiss sunshine good bye for the next day or more. I made it so that the storm would only keel carrying them round a and round in circles, until it dissipates by itself.
