The crew and guards surrendered, helpless to this monster and threw their weapons on the ground.<br/>Ihornagi jumped and landed near the other Exalted and spoke to her. Before she was able to answer there was a noise, a hissing, deadly sound. There were three arrows flying side by side, as if they were sought at the same time, and heading directly towards Scorn.<br/>From the lower leaves of the ship emerged two hideous apelike creatures that roared and jumped straight for Ihorangi. They were still too far to attack him, and seemed unable to decide how to attack him best.<br/>On the other Cynis' ship where Kaiser and Bast landed, followed shortly after by Cinabar Ember, there was a commotion as well. There was a moment of silence, while everone turned to see the three of them standing on the bow of the ship then there was a loud noise and something dark flew across the sky heading strait for the nearest ship. There was a loud crash as the petard hit The Cruciger and then there was an explosion which set on fire a great deal of the ship's deck.<br/>Then coming from no where it seamed came a fears battle shout and a strong, dark man, wielding a huge jade blade came straight for Kaiser. He was as fast as a dancer, like the weapon he was holding was no heavier then air and swiftly and precisely struck twice at the Solar.
