One of the pirates heads jerked back as both bullets found their way to their target. Blizzard quickly reloaded his gun, and took a look around as the battle raged around him. Numerous crewmembers now lie dead around him. Part of the first mast has collapsed, taking two cannons and marines with him. The remaining men fought on, firing the huge cannons at the pirate ship, or their guns at the pirates themselves. As Blizzard gazed over the battlefield, he suddenly saw the first mate, Khelan, run across the ruined deck towards the captains quarters. Without thinking, Blizzard shot after him, crisscrossing fallen crew and pieces of wood. He saw a cannonball hit the side of the quarters, blowing a huge piece of wall into the sea. Khelan quickly climes onto the railing and towards the new entrance, but just as Blizzard climbed over the fallen mast three pirates entered the ship. Their swords flashing and cutting through flesh and steel, their guns firing into the crewmembers, the pirates attacked the unprepared crew. 'Oh, D'Arvit!' swore Blizzard, as he quickly turned around and attacked the new threat.
