[~Sole~ 852]

Stone fell back as the ship rocked "s-sole what the heck is goin-" she was interrupted by her falling to her face, then she rolled to the ships deck, she looked up to see boxes coming straight at her. She looked around for anything to help her. She tried to get up, but her foreleg gave up and she fell back down. She then closed her eyes waiting for the boxes to crush her.

as sole was talking with swordpoint and rainbow dash he saw some large cargo crates sliding around "damn... we should strap those down, they could crush somepony..." he said, before noticing stone was about to be flattened "stony move!" He said in a panicked voice, before tackling her out of the way, just in time to avoid getting crushed. "You okay?" He asked quietly.

Stone grunted "yeah but I think my left fore leg is out if its socket....." She said wincing in pain. She had no idea on how the hell that even happened to her at this point. So she got up with her good legs and nodded her head "just deal with everything else I'll be ok" she said.

sole nodded reluctantly and sighed "just... don't die." He mumbled, before hugging her and flying back to swordpoint and rainbow dash to help them with the storm problem *I hope she will be okay... if the ship sinks...* he thought nervously, before turning to swordpoint "I have no clue how we're supposed to stop a homocidal thunderstorm." He said jokingly.

"Magic throwing stars huh? Well call me old fashioned but I prefer getting up close and personal." His body propelled by Shadow Dance, Cosmo lept to the tentacles, and after severing it, leaping to the nearest, all the while thinking, "There's got to be a faster of kill this bucker... Oh that will work!"

 

(OOC, Crimson me permission to kill this guy. I'll let a few more people post but then it's time for Sushi!)

"A remember you saying you prefer mid-ranged combat," she grinned, continuing to slash. She heard Swordpoint say something about a shield and secured her sword in her sheath. Creating a runic circle around her feet, she began to focus her attention on her magic instead of her sword. She began meditating, and a purple bubble began forming up around the boat. Shockwaves rippled against it where the tentacles struck the shield, spreading out the force and nulifying it. She used lightning that hit the shield as an alternative energy source so it would be less taxing.

"I say a lot of things!" Cosmo shouted back. "Unfortunately true..." Altair mumbled. Cosmo replied, "Shut up and hold this up for me," Cosmo passed an enchantment to Altair that would make his body incorporeal and able to pass through solid matter like a ghost. Releasing Shadow Hide, Cosmo dived into the center of the ship, passed through until he was face to face with the kraken itself. "Time to die you lump of sushi!" he thought as he propelled hinself into the beast's body. Once inside Cosmo cast his Blood Wind spell in the shape of a sphere, the tiny blades shredding everything as the sphere expanded, reducing the Kraken to a big sack blood and ground up meat. A final burst of blades ruptured the thing's body inviting every water predator for a hundred miles to enjoy the feast. Cosmo smiled and carved out several large chunks for the crew and flew back up as his body was beginning to demand air. When he landed on the deck he levitated the meat and shouted, "Somebody find Coral! We're having Sushi tonight!" He knew they weren't done and began securing everything on the ship to help prevent any losses of supplies or dangerous accidents.

@,

Rainbow grinned as an idea came to her. "I know! The three of us could probably create a tornado to take out the cloud!"

 

Swordpoint nodded. "That could certainly work. As long as we take extra care to avoid catching the ship within it."

 

Rainbow smirked and began to fly in a circle. Swordpoint joined her, and soon they had formed a decent sized tornado. "Sole!" Rainbow shouted, "we need your help!"

sole nodded and spread his wings "great plan guys... now let's hope we don't all die horribly!" He said sarcastically, as he took off after them. He quickly began to follow their pattern and fly in a circle, but the storm just kept growing "guys..." he yelled over the wind, as he avoided a bolt "I don't think its working!"

((I think rage has a plan for this storm. I don't think we should destroy it yet.))

"Cosmo, can you give me a hand with this shield? It's becoming mentally draining to maintain. Not energetically, mentally. I've had practice with casting spells, but at the end of the day I'm still an earth pony. Spells are best cast by those who were meant to cast them." Lyth's voice carries steadily into his head via the magical link, over which some of her exhaustion and emotional drain came with.

Lyth's voice carries steadily into his head via the magical link, over which some of her exhaustion and emotional drain came with.

Having secured most of the cargo Cosmo went to help Lyth manta in the shield, with additional support from Altair. "No worries Lyth, we all have our limits. Oh, syphoning energy from the lightning bolts, I like it!" he told her with a smile, "I swear you were supposed to be a unicorn. No earth pony I've met has ever shown this much understanding of magic."

(Cosmo's rambling because I needed more characters! Bye now )

"Damn," Swordpoint cursed under his breath. The storm clouds were completely unaffected. "Let us stop! We should focus instead on protecting the ship and its crew! Sole, can you assist Cosmo and myself in raising a barrier strong enough to prevent us from capsizing?!" He only hoped that their efforts would be enough, because the seas below were only growing rougher. They were in severe danger. Swordpoint pointed downward and dove back to the deck of the ship, hoping that Sole would understand to follow before speaking.

 

Rainbow followed Swordpoint as well, landing roughly on the deck. "Guys! What are we gonna do?! We can't stop the storm! It's like the thing is alive!"

She blushed at his compliment, kicking a hoof. "I, um, I practice. Every now and then. I get a lot of downtime in my line of work," she mumbles embaressedly. She then nibbles more of her herbs and transfers the spell's control to Cosmo. Curling up in her circle, she lays down and continues to provide some of the energy to maintain the shield.

Cosmo smiled and said to Lyth, "You look like Tiamat curled up over there... Do you know about my baby dragon? She's from a species specifically resistant to magic. Luna presented her to me as a test to become her personal student. Hatching her was too difficult for academy students, but a fair test for me. I didn't think hammering her with Telekinesis was a good plan so instead I was able pass energy to her, and grind at the egg where it was too hard for her to break. Unfortunately she's been recovering from an infection, so I wouldn't let her come on this trip. So she's most likely tearing up my study in Canterlot." Cosmo chuckled at the mischief his baby dragon was probably up to. "Would you like to meet her after we've dealt with Umbra?"

"I think it'd be very nice to meet your dragon. She must be very beautiful if your comparing her to me," she sent him humorously, "And you'll be able to show her all your nice, hand-crafted runes. I simply hope she won't be jealous, seeing as she doesn't know me and we have a significant relationship."

"No, as she once said, there are only things she cares about; naps, meals, and adventures. And before you say it, counting isn't on that list so she never bothered to correct that detail." He laughed at the thought, "Although she counts unusual ponies and weird magics as adventures so she might actually forgive me for leaving her in Canterlot and will probably like you."

"So I'm unusual and my magic is weird? Flattering, I'll try to remember that when you go to bed tonight. Would you rather glow with bio-luminesence, or have a perpetual thirst that could not be shaken all day? Perhaps wake up polkadoted, or wake up with a flock of sheep?"

"You're a spell casting earth pony. Tiamat is only used to Unicorns casting spells and has never seen runes before so yes and, to her, yes. Also, I can't decide... Glowing sounds fun and Sheep are fluffy so... I say glowing. There's not enough room on the ship and probably not enough food for that many crew members, so make a pony night light," Cosmo replied with a giant grin, "You realize I was quoting her right? A baby dragon who doesn't even bother counting correctly. Now that I think about it... what color would the polka dots be?" As he continued asking his questions, Cosmo had a playful and flirty expression on his face, revealing his enjoyment of the play arguement.

The most gaudy arrangement of pink and yellow you can imagine. And the glow is much brighter than a nightlight. Imagine daylight in a 30-foot radius radiating from your core. Now then, I have a weird and unusual question for you. She turns so she can see his face.

Cosmo continued to stare at his mare friend lovingly and replied, "Oh, and this conversatation has been such a normal one. Lyth dear, once some pony starts asking what color polka dots their mare friend will turn them into in their sleep, there are no 'weird questions' that ship has sailed, no pun intended."

"So we are an item then? You do love me?" She looks at him with almost pleading eyes. She also edges a hoof to the edge of her circle and blows a tuft of mane out of her face. She was looking more and more tired by the minute, with her all-but-ragdoll appearance and whatnot.

Cosmo smiled, layed down on the deck beside her and kissed Lyth on the cheek, whispering, "I don't really know how love is supposed to feel but there's something about you Lyth... I can't stop thinking about you and I want to share so much with you... and I'm dodging the question... Yes, I do Lyth, I love you." Cosmo smiled at her then chuckled, "Swordpoint and Sole are fighting a lightning storm and here we are confessing feelings..." He then gave her a teasing look and added, "Actually, I'm the one confessing feelings here. What about you my darling alcoholic priestess? Do you love me?" Cosmo's voice softened as he asked Lyth, but he had a strong feeling she wouldn't have asked if her answer was no.

Cosmo's voice softened as he asked Lyth, but he had a strong feeling she wouldn't have asked if her answer was no.

She blushed, and replied, "I do not know how to describe the feelings you give me as anything other than love. I do not have much experience with the feeling, however, so if I were to be entirely honest I would say I do not know my feelings for you. The feeling feels something like this. She leans in and kisses him while simultaneously opening up a section of her mind, giving him the impressions of happiness, confusion, trust, fear, and unidentifiable positive. "Those are my feelings for you, she says, breaking her kiss and whispering aloud, "And I've heard combat and stressful situations bring out the emotions in ponies."

"I'd share mine but you've been playing around my brain for awhile now, I think you can find my feelings for you," he teased, but still showed them to Lyth who, still in his mind, was surrounded by the happiness, excitement, curiousity, and warm but also the uncertainty, and deep fear, rooted in the core of his heart from his initiation into his clan. As he felt that last part, Cosmo's emotions clung to his thoughts of Lyth protectively. His heart set on never losing her or anyone else so dear to him in such a bitter way.

 

Altair hovered over them smiling, "Luna, I don't know if you can hear me, and I may not a religious pony, but I still would like to pray for their safety. Cosmo has suffered too much for a pony as young as he, and Lyth deserves happiness as well. Please help watch over them and keep them safe... I know I will devote everything I have and am to that cause..."

"Cosmo, your clan is all but destroyed. I hate to say it, but you're probably a bit of a traitor in their eyes," she mumbles, "I don't think you'll be getting any missions to kill me. And I refuse to believe you'd be able to carry out one of those missions, especially if I were the target." She closes her eyes and yawns, "You're going to have to carry me. I can't make it to my bed."

 

(Gtg. See you in the mroning, for as long as I can.)

(What? I thought I said Cosmo's clan killed his friends. Cosmo didn't kill them)

Cosmo was surprised by her comment, "Missions..? Lyth, of course I wouldn't... You must really be exhausted," Cosmo lifted her as he spoke, "And what does it mean to betray a group like that anyway? All I could betray was loyalty to them, and that alone says little, it simply makes me their enemy. Being an enemy to heartless hit men isn't something to ashamed of as far as I'm concerned... and I hope you're right Lyth... I hope Altair really did finished them all..."

Cosmo stopped talking about it and got Lyth to her room, and tucked her into bed. He shook his head as he reflected on the events of tgat morning and glaced over to see Lyth's rune teaching supplies. "To think this was just going to be a day of trainin... wait those were in my room..." glancing around, he realized they were in his room, and Lyth appeared to be asleep in his bed. "...oh well, I'll just meditate," Cosmo decided as he sat down to rest, his mind basically sleeping except for the sheild which was still charging itself from the lightning bolts. Cosmo set it to detect warm blood and feathers as a key to pass through it. Satisfied that Swordpoint Rainbow and Sole could get back with out anyone falling off or anymore surprises from the deep coming in, Cosmo began his meditation nap.

[RAGESTAR 479]

Crimson sighed in relief, "well that's one problem down, but we still need to take care of this storm before-" crimson couldn't finish his sentance as the storm completely transformed into a full blown hurricane, so powerful that the entire ship was lifted out of the water, rising higher and spinning faster in the storm with every passing second. Crimson cursed as he tried to walk around the ship to help his freinds, but failed to even move from his spot as the ship was spinning too fast. All of a sudden, a dark chuckle eminated from the storm, crimsons eyes widened in shock, "no...you...YOUR DOING THIS! WHEN I'M GET MY HOOVS ON YOU I'LL-" crimsons threat was cut short as a large, clawed hand grabbed him and pulled him off the ship and into the storm with crimson yelling in rage, "RUUUUUUN!!" Yelled crimson before dissapearing into the black clouds. The chuckle continued once more even louder, "you may have survived the syrens and the kraken...but you will not survive this...hehehehe..." echoed the disembodied voice of umbra before a mass of shadow hands shot out of the storm, flying into the ship and grabbing all of the crewmembers, pulling them into the darkness.
