Chapter 6: Mounting a Rescue by Beat15
Author's Notes:
Beat starts chaos as he begins his distraction of the enemy crew.
"Drake, why do I think we didn't need to wait?" Clovis growled as Drake started smiling.
"Oh I just love making a show out of things, my 'key' is an old friend that is going to love seeing this show." Drake laughed.
"So we could have been done with this already?!" Clovis snapped ceasing Drake by his shirt.
"Yes," Drake said with cruel smirk.
"Clovis! Can you help me with something?" shouted Onua.
"Go ahead." Drake said turning to head into his office.
Clovis followed his fellow Sin to the portside railing.
"What is it?" Clovis yawned trying to sound angry.
"Look at this barnacle that attached itself to our ship." Onua said with a sly grin.
Clovis sighed and looked over the railing imagining what it was. When he spotted the "barnacle" he gasped.
"Grimsley?"
"Shhh," Onua hushed. "He's catching his breath and hasn't realized we've seen him."
"What do we do then?" Clovis whispered.
"Let's allow him to board our ship. Start a bit of chaos, and make Drake look bad." Onua laughed walking away.
"Xela, you are devious." Clovis laughed quietly.
"They saw me." Beat panted. "But they did nothing. Onua did nothing after seeing me, it's obviously an invitation." Beat tried to focus on his task. "Distract the crew." he growled through clenched teeth.
He started to climb up the side of the ship and froze when he stared into the eyes of one of the crewmen. "Well hey there." Beat said with a smile.
"What the..." the crew member began before being cutoff by a fist shot into his stomach.
"Sorry, I need to make a big scene." Beat laughed quietly.
Leia was readying the crew to storm the other ship when she saw the main mast of the enemy boat burst into flames.
"What in Nayru's name happened?" she gasped.
"Looks like Grimsley made it aboard." laughed one of the pirates.
"He did that?!?" Leia gasped. "Finn's onboard we can't burn the ship down!"
"He's the distraction, remember? You're getting the boy." reminded another pirate.
"I never agreed to that plan!" Leia snapped.
"Well either you prepare to board that ship, or we launch onboard. What'll it be?" growled the captain of the pirate crew.
Leia didn't want a repeat of Beat's launch, so she decided to prepare to board.
Drake was unaffected by the burning mast, and looked up in admiration at the destruction. "I'm impressed Arthur. You'd risk burning your son to stop me."
"Um, actually that would be my doing." shouted a teenage boy with Gerudo skin.
"Ah, I suppose you're Mr. Grimsley." Drake called.
"I suppose you supposed right." Beat laughed. "I can't really stay though, I've got a kid to save."
"Oh I'm sure you do, but I'm afraid my friend will have to stop you. Clovis,"
"On it." muttered the Sin.
"Oh no, Sloth, I'm terrified." Beat gasped in mock horror. "I must inform you that Clovis specializes in lightning magic, so having him use that, on a wooden ship in the middle of the ocean isn't very smart."
"He has a point." Clovis yawned.
"The ship doesn't concern me. Just get rid of him." Drake said carelessly.
"If you say so." Clovis sighed. He looked up to where Beat stood and noticed the boy was gone, "Where'd he go?" he growled.
"No clue." Drake shrugged.
Finn heard the ruckus going on above him. He focused on trying to determine on what was happening until the door was kicked open.
"Hello there," greeted a man walking into the hold. "I'm sure you have some choice words for us."
"Piss off!" Finn spat.
"Perfect." the man laughed. He then started changing shape until he resembled Finn. "How do I look?" he laughed in Finn's voice.
"What the hell?" Finn gasped.
"Shut up." the new Finn laughed kicking his face, knocking him unconscious. "Now then, let's get ready for my rescue."
Beat had spotted his ship while he was standing on the main mast. They weren't close enough so he'd have to get the kid himself. He ran through the cabins searching for Finn. He soon found the hold and spotted the boy laying tied up.
"Help me!" he shouted noticing Beat.
Beat let out a sigh of relief and started untying the boy. "Don't worry, you're safe."
Once the boys hands were untied he smiled "Thank you."
"Let's get going, I've got a ship waiting for us." Beat urged toward the door. "We can..Urggh!" Beat gasped as he felt the cold steel plunge into his back.
"Sorry, how'd that happen?" laughed Finn running out the door.
"That bastard." Beat growled before he fell unconscious.
Drake was quite amused by the fire that was scattered around the ship.
"My my, his magical abilities are quite extraordinary. I can't even weaken the flames." he laughed.
"Grimsley's flames have the tendency to do that." Clovis yawned. "Best bet of extinguishing them is by using water."
"I suppose you're right." Drake sighed before closing his eyes. He focused on the ocean and brought several weak waves onto the ship, extinguishing most of the fires.
Clovis mentally admitted to being impressed. But on the outside he remained unfazed. "I suppose I should search for Grimsley." he sighed.
"That sounds like a wonderful idea. Why don't you go do that?" Drake said with a malicious grin.
"Yes, sir." Clovis said, with a long pause before spitting out the word sir.
Leia saw the flames get doused so she urged the crew to hurry. When they came close enough for her to swing across using a rope from the mast she jumped aboard without letting anyone notice her boarding.
She crept around the ship avoiding detection as she crept into the cargo hold. There she found Finn, and an bleeding unconscious Beat. She grabbed the two and decided stealth was out of the equation if she was carrying two unconscious boys. She ran as quickly as she could with Beat over her shoulder and Finn her arms.
Beat briefly regained consciousness to notice the crew of the ship chasing after them. He summoned the little energy he had left and brought about a raging fire keeping their pursuers away.
Leia noticed the effort he put up and used his distraction to quicken her pace.
"My my. What a surprise." laughed a sinister voice once they reached the main deck. "Arthur's student."
Leia halted and faced Drake. She couldn't fight him with the two she had to carry. She tried to start running again but a wall of magic kept her from moving.
"I do believe you're kidnapping that child." Drake said with a light laugh. "As for the other one, take him. Just get off my ship, and leave Finn."
"Never!" she growled. She then pulled out a Deku nut and threw it onto the ground.
Drake shielded his eyes, and when the light faded away he frowned in distaste. The girl was gone, along with the other two.
"Their ship is still in range. We can sink them here and now." Clovis offered.
"No, set a course for the island. We're getting that crystal now." Drake growled.
Leia tumbled onto the deck of the Gerudo ship, dropping the two boys she had carried. She sighed in exhaustion and stood up. "Let's start sailing back to Termina." she said tiredly.
"We will, but after we make sure Beat is okay. You did notice the stab wound in his back, right?" replied the pirate captain.
"Fine." Leia sighed. "Just get us out of their firing range."
"Yes ma'am." nodded the pirate steering.
