"Hurry up and get those Repairs completed, the Yamato is still out there!" The Pirate captain bellowed. Since the last encounter, the ship was starting to fall apart. The strikes from the fighters and the Guns of the Musashi were devastating. The Captain found it hard to believe that the Yamato could have been that powerful, but the Legend seemed to be true. He growled a bit as the other crew members were working frantically to put out fires and patch holes in the hull. Their Fighters had completely wiped out by the Musashi's fighters. He was backed into a corner and he was actually regretting picking a fight with the ship to begin with. The Captain strained to think of a strategy. Some way to turn the Tide. However, he didn't realize that The Musashi was closing in for the Kill. The Pirate ship's whereabouts being transmitted to the Musashi.<br/><br/>"Captain, Monitoring stations reports a dark mass just of the Starboard bow." Captain Black smiled. "Gotcha!" he chuckled. "Chief, Have our guns bracket the Enemy Vessel. Hold fire until I command." Jeremy said. He waited till they closed in and then finally. "Launch starlight Flares." Jeremy ordered. Again Space was lit up as several very powerful flares were fired from the Musashi. Turning into miniature suns. The Battle field was bathed in a bright white light. Sure enough, The Musashi was right on the Enemy's Thrusters. "Very Good Work, Helm, Comms, Lt. Nakajima." He compliment. A feeling of pride with how well his crew performed.<br/><br/>"CAPTAIN! THE YAMATO!" A pirate yelped in surprise as a blinding light flashed into the bridge. "Where, Where!?" The Captain Demanded. "Directly Astern sir. Her Guns are locked on us!." The Pirate Reported. Fear very evident in his voice. The Captain's face paled at the announcement. He had been out maneuvered. The Yamato was on their stern and they had no weapons that could dent it from there. If they turn, they Die. They run, they Die. The Captain growled as he was only left with one Option.<br/><br/>"Captain, we're being hailed." The Comm Tech reported. "On Screen." Jeremy said. Crossing his arm across his chest. The Screen above the main window flickered to life as a Older male with pale blue skin appeared. In the back ground, It was shown how bad off the War wagon was. The Bridge looked decimated as small fires continued to burn. Personnel rushing around to try and put them out. "Greetings, Yamato. I here by surrender. I demand my crew and I to be treated according to EDF Criminal Law regarding prisoners." The Pirate demanded. There were many that thought the Earth Government Laws dealing with interstellar piracy were vague and weak. More often than not the Pirates were usually released on a technicality under "Salvage Rights". Other cases, the Pirates were returned to their home planet to receive Justice only to get a "slap on the wrist" and a severe scolding. Mainly cause they got caught.<br/><br/>The bridge crew of the Musahi glanced at each other when they were referred to as the Yamato. While it was understandable. The Yamato was famous and almost no one knew of the Musashi. It did irk Jeremy just a tiny bit. "Mercy, You demand mercy from us. We'll see if you warrant mercy." Jeremy hissed. His single functioning eye glaring at the Pirate captain. The look sent chills down the Pirate's spine. The door to the bridge hissed open as someone stepped onto the Musashi's bridge. The Man approached the Captain and saluted. He was about to start his report when Jeremy stopped him. Flicking a switch on a nearby console. The report would be sent out to all parts of the ship and the fighters buzzing around. "Report, Lt. What did you find on the Cargo vessel?" Jeremy asked without taking his eyes off the Pirate. The Lt. looked shaken and his face was pale. "It...It was a massacre. The Ship's personnel were slaughtered. Many showing signs of being executed in medieval fashion. Their heads chopped off. or simply dismembered and left to bleed to death. Many places you couldn't walk with stepping on a person's entrails." The Lt. said swallowing hard. There was a deathly pause<br/><br/>"You would stand there and demand mercy from me. After what you and your pirates did to unarmed sailors. You would demand that I show you courtesy that you didn't show to others. You slaughtered hundreds of people that can never go home again, and yet you would expect that I let you live for that. You attack my ship with absolutely no provocation and yet you demand Mercy. " Jeremy spoke. His tone was heavy in malice and anger. Had it been found that the pirates only took the cargo and spared the Sailors, Jeremy would have disabled their vessel and sent a beacon for an EDF patrol to pick them up, but the senseless violence that was displayed was stomach churning. Jeremy's Jaw clenched tightly as he stared at the Captain. As if waiting for him to answer for his crimes. Jeremy took a sharp inhale through his nose before he spoke. "Yes, I will grant you mercy. The Mercy of a quick death." Jeremy stated finally. The Pirate captain gasped. "You can't do this! You're the Yamato!" He shouted. "It would seem fortune did not favor you this Day, Pirate. We are<strong>Not</strong>the Yamato. We are the Musashi. Chief Prower-Graves, Open fire. Make sure to hit their Reactor. I wouldn't want them to suffer." Jeremy commanded.
