The old dragon rushed about knowing the ship without needing to see as he scrambled to get into his quarters where his armor was. A few spells allowed him to change outfits in mere seconds, off with the pajamas and on with a set of heavy golden plate mail and flame colored raiments.<br/><br/>*Sin might be surprised to see the deck of the ship was fire proof, the oil as it burned out, did not leave the slightest mark on the deck, and aside from catching some rope on fire and blinding them temporarily, not much else happened, the deck went dark and everything was creaking due to the sway of the ship. Being a felyn Sins eyes would adjust to the dark faster than others, she'd see grandus's cabin doors left swinging open, a mistake on his part...probably.*<br/><br/>*In fact it was no mistake. Grandus was moving through the ship, synchronizing his footsteps with the ships creaking like any good fighter would. The large cape kept his armor from glinting, though at times a lantern would snuff itself out, one might presume that the old man was near that lantern but, any attempt to strike that region of the ship would be met with open deck. He was following the fresh smell of gunpowder, so long as there was a gunner on deck, he couldn't be hasty.*<br/><br/>*A few minuets of this helter skelter went by, then the halberd would plant its spear tip mere inches from Sins heart, grazing her arm. And the dragon would charge her down, keeping low assuming shed reloaded, a literal ball of fire in each of his claws, his eyes ablaze once more as he went in for another kill, throwing one blazing orb at Sins legs, the other he'd lob high to the right anticipating her next move. He drew a longsword from his hip, and thus began a raging dual between Tiger and Dragon*</div></div></div><br/>[The Red Dutchess: Assorted Locations]<br/><div style="padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-size: 1em;"><div style="text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; display: block;"><span onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') {  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;hide&lt;/a&gt;'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;show&lt;/a&gt;'; }"><b>Spoiler: </b><a href="#" onclick="return false;">show</a></span></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;">*Below decks, the troop of dogs would yip and hollar at getting shocked by static bolts, scampering away into the holds nooks and corners.

She'd been nesting within spectra for so long and really never expected to be called out again, on top of that, Arcadias light was binding Spectras powers, that feeling of being polished to a stone was a sealing aura the Sovereign imposed upon any godly being near herself. Thus once Zal became conscious of her surroundings forming a humanoid body from the slime, she looked around in confusion*, "Oooh...my queen? Is this another Game simulation? Heh, will I find you as the final boss again?", *Zal looked around but all she could find was this awnry raven incessently cawing at her to which she replied, "Oh shush you...have you seen my Queen? Shes about this tall, drop dead dark n gorgeous, Apatite for fancy food?"<br/><br/>*All she heard from Spectra in raven form was more Cawing...more of Arcadias trickery no doubt, but then Zal heard the clashing of steel and turned to see Sin fighting the War Sage, She knew both of them. Sin from the time the captain spent in Spectras belly, and Grandus because they'd clashed before long ago, though back then they were both playing in the Familiar games.* "O-ho! Is that who I think it is!", *Four insectoid horns sprouted from the sides of her featureless face, while from the shadows, black high tech armor pieces floated up, fixing themselves to her gelatinous body looking much like a Zeon style mobile suit from the gundam series, specifically a black and yellow variant of the NZ666-Kshatriya (link below), though with more womanly curvature and features. She would float rather than settle, her feet little more than spikes of golden slime that dipped into the shadows a bit before they swelled as her body drank in a huge quantity of liquid Nox, the essence of shadow, her frame fattening up on the energy as it filled into her body and the armor pieces lining her form, Six huge shield-like wings charging up and glowing with golden light, before she was lifted up off the ground, a cape of gold with a thick black collar of fur blooming to life from her neck, and matching robes adorned her frame. She held out her hands, now heavily armored with thick plates of nox, and from the shadows rose twin rifles with bayonets shaped like Rapiers, their grips like the ends of lances, "HEY HOT HEAD REMEMBER ME!", *Grandus turned with a grunt almost taking sins saber to the nose but his eyes would widen when he saw the double rifles aimed at him.*<br/><br/>*Zaleila would drop dozens of drones from her six wings, little cone shaped metal bits that levitated and zipped around the deck to harass Grandus while she fired off several Semi-auto rifle rounds. The dragon's wings suddenly caught fire and the edges ignited like a jets turbine, the old wyrm shot forward sword in hand and slammed into Zal with a ton of momentum, his blade crossed with her bayonets.* "If your here, that must mean your slut queen isn't far behind...this just got interesting." *The fire breather finally stood to his full ten foot tall height, easily dwarfing both the girls (Zal is about even with Sin) and lept up into the air, Zall following suit*<br/><br/>"Spectra you lustful cur! Show yourself, was this Archas idea? Or is this some sort of twisted revenge plot for the death of one of your lovers?"</div></div></div><br/><br/>(The fact that Arcadia is here, means someone has to die, and no one here has the capacity to kill Grandus right now, he's the warrior equivalent of Spectra, a demigod by all means, with some major skill in fire and binding magics. Thus the presence of crewmembers was necessary in order to avoid killing off a main character(It would have most likely been Barusa))<br/><br/>(Also, the Arcadia from the Vore Academy RP was just a dragon 'named' after the Sovereign, the real one ate her at this point.)
