The Sereni-Tree, Dealings on Boros, and Mai-Quest 2 by TheRealMe

* Finally freed of the shark jaws, TheRealMe bobs about in the ocean, trying to evaluate the situation. A moderate distance away, he sees Mai in the water, reaching out her hand as if to pet a shark! The shark’s mouthful of teeth seems ready to play. *

Mai!

* TheRealMe concentrates. There is a flash of light, a quick whirlpool, and TheRealMe is gone. Over Mai’s shark, a spot of light appears and opens into a dimensional portal. TheRealMe falls through, along with about a ton of water, landing right onto Mai’s shark. *

Mai! Swim! Swim toward the ship!

* TheRealMe graps the shark’s fin with one hand while fumbling for his high-tech squirt gun with the other. He gives the shark a kick for good measure. *

JAZAF

Back on the Serenitree
'When I get my hands on PR I'm gonna......' Jazaf mumbles a few unintelligible words as he puts the weapons back in there rightful place.
Several small nicks dot his hands from improperly carrying most of the weapons. He also sports a large bruise on his left thigh from the cannon when he tried to bing it back down the flight of stairs.

Finally after an hour all the weapons were replaced.
'Now to see how things are going with that quest.'

Jazaf heads to the room with a portal and sticks his head through to watch their progress.

(Start again!)

*Even as the elven one trembles precariously upon the plank of doom, her pleas seemingly unheard, a distant thwopping dopplers into a nearer, um, louder thwopping. Soon the waves are whipped into a frothy maelstrom and the pirate vessel’s jibs strain from the hurricane generated by cozen’s rental Sikorsky! Saved from being mothballed for the sake of this thread, the once mighty chopper weaves uncertainly nearer the distressed damsel. ‘Tis unclear which factor plays the greater part in it’s erratic flight vector, the dilapitated condition of the whirlybird or the Russian pilot’s level of intoxication. Nay! Let us not allow our focus to waver from the task at hand.*

*KoL scrunches her toes in to the plank in a feverish effort to gain purchase against the hellacious wind force generated by the helicopter’s blades. Sensible pirates dive for cover, not so sensible ones dive into the gorram ocean. Our hero appears on the Sikorsky’s open deck, tossing over a rope ladder down which he boldly descends. Frantically waving the pilot to steer closer to the imperilled lass, cozen kinda sorta inadvertently manages quite by accident, y’understand, to windmill an arm in just such a way as to catch Kelly in the midriff and send her, inevitably, plummeting into the briny.*

… Uh! Um, oops?

Right, a minor setback.

*Cozen hies up the ladder. Scrambling onto the chopper’s deck, he frantically searches through the storage lockers for something, anything that can be of aid in a sea rescue. He finds – and how coincidental is this? – well, he finds MontanaGirl’s watermelon floater. Snatching the somewhat underinflated floater, he sprints to the edge of the deck and…

… well, stops dead at the edge of the deck, on account of it’s a long way down.*

And, y’know, it’s the ocean, with like sharks and stuff in it. I mean, heh, it dawns on one that there are many brave heroes about and so it seems likely, well, possible that a timely rescue should occur from some other quarter, right?

“Nyet!” *And with that, the burly, tatooed and disconcertingly hirsute arm of the Russian pilot is put forth in such a way as to gently yet firmly nudge cozen over the edge.*

*After a short plummet, splashing ensues.*

Back on Boros;
"Lets find someplace a little more... un-sewerly like, and a little more private, first."

Citizen leads the small party through the maze of tunnels.

Jack breaks the silence. "Safe, we've been down here too long, it's starting to actually smell good."

Citizen smiles at him, "No, it's because we're here." He reaches up and grabs a rope hidden amongst the pipes and pulls. A stairway folds down from the roof.

Citizen climbs up and pushes up a doorway into a room above. The smell of food washes down.

The rest follow Citizen up the stairs. They find themselves in what appears to be the storeroom of a restaurant. Citizen is greeting two women.

He turns to the others. "I'd like you to meet Flechette, chef and owner of this fine establishment. And Amy, owner of the finest clothes shop this side of Persephone."

"Flechette, we'll need to borrow your backroom. Amy, I may need to trouble you for some umm, suitable, attire for my... acquaintances."

*Ath swims toward Mai, intent on rescuing her when he notices a woman, bound and gagged, fall into the ocean. Before he can decide what to do, he sees what appears to be a Canadian fall into the water as well.

As he hesitates, unsure of what to do, he feels a strange burning sensation on his back, right around his shoulder blades.*

What the--

*Before he can finish, pain erupts in his back. He can't even scream, instead curling into a ball, mouth open, unaware that he's in the ocean, unaware of the sharks nearby, unaware of his Tree-mates in danger. The pain is all he knows.

Just as the pain reaches a point where he not only thinks he's going to die, but welcomes the prospect, it stop.

He realizes he's under the water and out of air, and kicks his way toward the surface. As he does so, he feels a strange pull, as if something is trying to drag him down. He kicks harder, trying to get away from whatever it is, and manages to make it to the surface.

As Ath sucks in air, he feels a strange sensation on both of his shoulder blades. He looks back and sees what was pulling him down.

Wings.

Wings have sprouted out of Ath's back, not white, feathery wings like his sister's, but leathery and muscular. Like a bat's. Or a dragon's, with claws at the end of both middle joints.

With a start, Ath remembers that he was in the middle of a rescue. Without thinking, Ath dives deep into the water, hoping he's not too late. With a huge flap of his wings, Ath shoots towards the surface. Before he can wonder how he knew how to use his wings, he finds himself 20 feet above the water, wings flapping. He spies the bound woman, struggling to stay afloat, and dives towards her.

He snatches her out of the water, then banks towards Mai. Mere moments after grabbing Mai, a sharks jumps out of the water, missing Ath's foot by scant inches.

With the two ladies in his arms, Ath realizes two things. One, while both ladies are quite light, he pretty sure his wings aren't meant to carry 3, and he's getting very tired. Two, he's out of arms.*

"Oh, Serenity! Could you hold onto Mai for a second?"

*Without waiting for an answer, Ath gently places Mai into Serenity's arms and dives for Cozen.

Once he has Cozen, Ath lands the only place he can: on the ship. Shaking with exhaustion, Ath removes the woman's gag and frees her hands. He then turns towards the pirates, sword drawn, putting himself between them and her.*

KELLYOFLUTHIEN

*KellyofLuthien is looking down, screaming her silent plea for help when suddenly she is almost swept off her feet by the force of massive wind emanating from a nearby source. Eyes tearing up, KOL looks up to see a chopper hovering nearby, a Canadian crouching inside. Closing her eyes, she braces herself against the wind, when OOMPH! she feels something hit her hard in the stomach. Losing her balance, KOL opens her eyes as she tumbles off the plank toward the ocean. With a sickening splash, she hits the water.

Struggling to break the surface, KOL begins to panic. Her arms are still bound behind her back, and her mouth is still gagged. All she can hear is the rushing of the ocean in her ears.*

"Kick your legs, keep moving, tread water," she tells herself.

*Without warning, Kelly feels hands grabbing her and she is pulled from the water, gasping for air. She looks up to see a man--with WINGS! Huge leathery wings flapping strongly behind him.

Before her mind can fully grasp this concept, she feels him dive toward the water again. He grabs another woman moments before sharks attack her. KOL can feel him struggling to keep flying. He dives toward the winged angel woman and says

"Oh, Serenity! Could you hold onto Mai for a second?"

and places the other woman in her arms. KOL feels him dive a second time, and looks over to see the Canadian being pulled from the water.

KOL can feel the winged man struggling to keep flying again. He heads towards the pirate ship--the only solid place for miles. KOL feels him grunt as he hits the deck. She sees his trembling hands as he unties her bonds. He turns around, drawing a sword as he does so, and faces the advacing pirates.

Kelly can see that he's about ready to pass out, so she quickly grabs the chain around her neck and pulls. She slips Narya, the ring of fire, over her middle finger on her right hand. Standing tall, she grabs the Canadian and pulls him behind her as she walks up next to her hero. She touches his arm gently, and he shoots her a quick glance, sword shaking.

"Here, let me handle this. It's payback time." Kelly says.

*Kelly closes her eyes, holds her right hand up, and mutters strange words under her breath. Suddenly, huge silver flames erupt from her ring, shooting straight towards the advancing pirates. Opening her eyes, Kelly begins slowly walking foward, keeping the flames at chest level on the pirates. There is much scrambling and shouting as the pirates are backed towards the plank.

Careful to not burn the ship, Kelly lowers the flames just long enough to look at the Captain of the ship.

"Now it's your turn," she says, and she raises the ring as white flames shoot towards the pirates. Having nowhere else to go, the pirates jump off the plank one by one. Kelly lowers her ring, and the flames disappear without a trace.

Still dripping wet and exhausted, KellyofLuthien turns around slowly and locks eyes with her hero.

A noise from above? Is that a cannon firing? Or is it a helicopter? Shark-wrestling is certainly a distracting sport!

At that moment, the shark bucks, almost tossing TheRealMe from its back. TheRealMe is forced to grab its fin with both hands, and his high-tech squirt gun goes flying. Damn! Though the shark is distracted by his presence, TheRealMe notices that Mai is still too near, still in danger. But with strong, practiced strokes, Ath is swimming closer. Good! He will get Mai to safety!

Then a new woman, bound and gagged, falls from the pirate ship above with a great splash. She struggles in the water, seeming to have trouble keeping her head above the surface. Soon after, Cozen also falls into the ocean! Cozen?

As TheRealMe continues his shark-wrestling, he realizes that he cannot locate Ath! Serenity leaves Jake7’s nearby force-field bubble and flies near in order to rescue her brother.

Suddenly, Ath erupts from the water, flying upward on bat-shaped wings! He dives down to pick up first the bound woman, then Mai as well. The shark finally throws TheRealMe from its back and reaches up high to almost snap its jaws on Ath’s leg as he departs.

As TheRealMe splashes down into the water again, there is an explosion of hot pinkness above him, and the shark disappears in a flash of Spamic carnage. TheRealMe scans his surroundings. There is Rat, floating nearby with a great grin on his face, holding his Spamgun out of the water.

“Sorry, son,” Rat says. “I had to wait. I couldn’t shoot while you were so near it. Had to wait for an opportunity.”

TheRealMe nods to Rat as he catches his breath. But above, he sees Ath hand Mai off to Serenity’s care, then Ath flies down to rescue Cozen from the water as well. Ath carries both Cozen and the bound woman up to the main deck of the pirate ship.

Somewhat relieved that Mai is safe, TheRealMe looks about for his companions. Ath, Cozen, and the bound woman are on the deck of the pirate ship, from where great gouts of flame now seem to be issuing. Hmmm… Ath once practiced pyrokinesis. Perhaps he has come into his full power? Serenity is hovering above with Mai, as if not sure whether or not to land on the ship. Rat is bobbing about nearby, and Jake7 is not far, still floating inside her force-field bubble. But where was PsychicRiver? Oh, there, dandling over the railing of the ship, staring confused at the rope in his hands.

“Rat, what about the stranger, the one who appeared just before we left?”

Rat chuckles, and points with his Spamgun. “Cannon shot him that-away.”

“Great!”

It was at that time that pirates, escaping the flames, started raining down upon Rat and TheRealMe.

*Chaos is erupting both on board the ship, and down below in the water.*

*PR is'nt on the deck, he's a up a flight of stairs, on a higher deck, which overlooks the lower deck. PR is now wearing a pirates bandana, has a sword tied to his belt, and has donned an eye patch. He's also painted on of his front teeth black.* Ahaarrrr. *He says, as he stands at the wheel of the ship, turning it slowly.*

*He walks over to a table at the back, with maps laid out on it. He makes a few marks in pencil on the mapt and then picks up a large tray next to the maps. Then he goes downstairs to the lower deck, carrying the tray.* M'harties! I think we could all use a nice strong drink. *Says PR, holding up a tray with lots of full glasses. Also on the tray, Is a huge bleeding cow's leg. PR wanders over to the edge of the ship, and looks down at those still in the water. He picks up the cow leg and throws it as far as he can. It lands in the water, not too far from the ship. It turns the water in a short radius blood red, and the remaining sharks rush to it and start fighting over it. PR looks to the others in the water.* Come on then, all aboard!

* With the shark feeding frenzy begun nearby, TheRealMe suddenly has a great desire to get himself and his companions out of the water. He swims toward Jake7's force field bubble. *

Uh... Rat? Could you please fly over to wherever that cannon shot the new guy, to see if he needs any help? It might even be a good idea to bring him back to the ship.

* TheRealMe reaches Jake7. With much effort, he manages to create a portal large enough for her force field. TheRealMe grabs his head. *

OW! That hurts!

*TheRealMe and Jake7 fall through the portal and appear above the pirate ship. He falls to the deck, unconscious. Her force field bubble drops down and bounces around a bit on the deck. *

I'm with Mai. Where's TRM? We need to keep him conscious so he can keep the portal open!

I need some water for wings if I'm going to fly up there! Maybe I can squeeze some out of someone's clothes?

**Noticing the advancing pirates**

Guess we'd better get going -- and quick!

Here Jake7, try sucking on my wet hair! Think that'd work?

Cuz, no offense, I love you and all, but I do NOT want to go anywhere near the water. It's a shark feeding frenzy down there!

No ye can't be affordin' it, because we won't be sellin' it. If ye knew the troubles we've gone through to get here, ye would appreciate that we can't be puttin' a price on this here water.

And what's more, we don't appreciate how ye jus' dumped yerselves in the middle o' this here ocean without so much as a by-your-leave. We can't 'ave ye tellin' others where to be findin' th' magical waters, now can we?

So, we're thinkin' we're goin' t' 'ave to be killin' ye now.

*Cap'n Rose raises her pistols. Behind her, her pirate band surges forward, pistols and blades at the ready.*

NO!

* TheRealMe, still prone on the deck of the pirate ship, grabs at his side for his high-tech squirt gun. Too late, he remembers that he lost the weapon in the ocean while shark-wrestling. He changes his strategy. *

Uh, I mean, no need for killing!

* Slowly, TheRealMe regains his feet. He seems a bit unsteady, and is still enveloped by his attire of numerous black ribbons. But instead of floating around him like a halo of moving fabric, the ends of the ribbons all dangle down limply, wet and heavy from their recent immersion. TheRealMe staggers forward a few steps, placing himself in front of the rest of the Sereni-Tree crew members. He holds his hands out in plain sight, and tries to speak reasonably to Captain Rose. *

Madame Captain, by my reckoning, you have made out pretty well here already. Got your position, got your ship, got your crew, got your cargo… Now, we have no particular grudge against you. We have just come here to recover one of our own. Mai, here, got a bit lost. We plan to be on our way, and likely as not, we won’t cross paths with you again.

But a fight here and now might be costly… For I promise you, I am very determined to keep my crew alive, and we will not be put down easily.

So, Madame Captain, what do you say?

* Those behind TheRealMe can see a bright spot of light appear on the back of the heel of his right boot. *

* At that moment, a great pair of black-feathered wings sprout from the back of TheRealMe, wiggling out between the ribbons. *

TheRealMe, First Officer of the Sereni-Tree

** Drops the rope from his left hand **
** A look of grim determination crosses his face, It's the look of a man who's just been ordered by his Capt'n to get to kill'n. He doesn't seem to mind.**
** His left hand carress an odd shaped fine leather holster on his left hip. The holster has obviously been custom made, and cared for meticulously. He lifts the flap slowly, ever so slowly, revealing the completly empty holster. With his right hand he slips his bottle of rum into the custom holster. It fits PERFECTLY. **

Capt'n, Permission to blow that shimmer outta the sky?

*moves towards cannon*

ummmm....Marillion

"Pardon me a moment, Captain Rose. I can't help but notice that we are in the middle of the ocean, on a ship, made almost entirely of wood. And hey! Is that gunpowder over there?"

"Now, this young lady next to me", Ath points to KellyofLuthien, "happens to be able to produce large amounts of fire at whim. So I'm thinking, maybe it would be best if you let us leave your ship in peace."

OH good idea! Now that would be a nice distraction. Although, I think Ath should still get naked.

*KellyofLuthien leans on her hero for support--she's still a bit winded from almost drowning and then making quite a bit of fire! But she gives the new Captain a steely stare*

"That's right--you forgot to take my Ring, and I've taken a mighty dislike to the way I was treated on this here ship. Hopefully we can settle this peacefully, but if not, don't expect me to go down quietly...."

*Kelly hold out her ring hand prominently, and gives the Captain a grim and determined smile. She then hears mai say

"OH good idea! Now that would be a nice distraction. Although, I think Ath should still get naked."

and looks from mai to her hero and back at mai*

"He's Ath? I wouldn't be mindin' him gettin' naked either....."

Right I know were in some peril here, but I'm thinking its time to take a vote. Who votes for Ath to get naked? Purely as a life saving distraction of course...
