Crux had been anticipating an attack but the brutality was different from usual. Nevertheless less he retaliated with all his might " FIRE!!" Cannons shot back, retaliating with all the power they could muster. Though it was in vain. The shots that landed were non fatal, while the ones received were extremely deadly. The mast of the ship was handing on by a thread, it looked as if it was going to topple over. The side railing had been blown away, as well as part of the deck. This was already going terribly.<br/><br/>The captain began to spout new orders, telling his men to fight them off with the cannons for as long as they could. He told them to prepare to be boarded. Cane was clever. his ship's were powerful, and with the blind rage of crux the pirate would undoubtedly win. He had been so focused on the ship before him that he barely realized the rest were gone. The naval captain wouldn't known until it was too late. There were still the other three ships coming for them.<br/><br/>Another round of cannon fire would send the mast topping down, crushing several men and nearly the captain himself. They weren't done though, as they would send out another round as well. Hoping to at least hit something.<br/><br/>They had two options now. Surrender or die.<br/><br/>( sorry it's so short I've been so busy, hopefully I can get a good reply out soon. Let me know if you need me to add on to this one)
