Continuing from part 1...
The battle seemed to be over... Once the pirates stopped coming at them from all directions, Alisa felt at ease at long last... Not entirely dropping her guard by any stretch of the word, but she still lowered her sword regardless, the tip of the black blade hanging mere inches from the ground, she brushed her hair behind her shoulder and took a long look around, only for her eyes to fall right on the last enemy before them. Just as Alisa spotted the pirate's approach, the man boisterously announced his presence, firing his gun off into the air:
BANG..!!
"Wha' are ye bilge suckers doin' t'me ship?!", with a bellowing shout accompanying his gunshot, the captain stepped onto the deck, his head adorned by a tricone hat, a trail of smoke blazing from the tip of his freshly fired gun...
Yet what ultimately caught Alisa's attention wasn't the dreadfully ordinary firearm... But rather what he held in his other hand. A glowing blue orb, shimmering with powerful magic. Alisa's eyes narrowed: She didn't like that one bit. Without even a single word to her companions, her body sprung to action on instinct, precieving a threat she couldn't quite place, yet one she still had the chance to stifle. And stifle it she did, or at least she intended to, tapping her heel against the deck, raising her sword, running her foe through without the slightest hesitation:
"I don't know what it is you're up to but... Guess we'll never find out...!!"
Alisa clicked her tongue... Not quite dead yet huh? With this much distance between them, the Captain had just enough time to shift out of the way, at least enough for the sword not to completely impale him, but instead leave a messy, bloody gash across the side of his chest... And giving him more than enough time to toss the orb overboard, brimming with magic power as it sank into the depths:
"Gahhh... Y-Ya wish....!"
The Captain crumpled down to the floor, clutching at his wound. At this point, Alisa didn't care enough to try and finish him off. What had he done!? She clicked her tongue once more, but the answer came within moments as the wooden frame creaked all around them, every inch of the derelict vessel trembling from keel to sails... Something was underneath them. Alisa darted towards the rails, leaving the captain to his own devices as he gripped at his wound, crawling away from the lithomancer, putting enough distance between the two to raise his gun once more.
And then the answer presented itself at long last. With a loud, unmistakable splash, a titanic tentacle erupted down from the depths, raising high into the sky before swooping down across the ship, threatening to slam down into the deck.
