"Stay strong guys, we dont want to trouble Bai too much."
"Not if I can help it," Phoenix gave a coy smile before tunneling her vision towards the rebel ship. It would seem that it was slowly losing a considerable amount of speed due to its existing damage, whereas the Vagus was going faster than ever, devouring the distance between them and their target. If all went well, the skirmish would be over quickly and smoothly with perhaps a light casualty or two. Phoenix wasn't going to admit it, but deep down she knew that was a reckless person - too reckless for her own good or her shipmates'. She tended to jump straight into situations without thinking twice, acting on whims and her instincts, which, wasn't necessarily always right, to say the least.
Phoenix made her way briskly towards the helm and scooped up the telescope that Jeremy had left there. A peer into it immediately told her what she needed to know: 1) It wasn't the rebel ship she was looking for. 2) The flag adorned on their vessel was indeed, that of the Valgor Riders. 3) The enemy appeared to have sensed that they were a looming threat and had started to take up arms, causing a flurry of activity on the main deck which reminded Phoenix of scurrying ants.
Shortly later, the front of the Vagus barreled full-force straight into the enemy ship's gigantic butt.
Of course, the Valgor Riders were nearly as ready and prepared as Ryan's own crew were, having a good five minutes - give or take - to arm themselves and make necessary tactical dispositions. Now that both ships were crammed against each other side by side, both parties started to make attempts at boarding the other's ship.
"Bai! Jeremy- Whoever's manning the guns! Fire at their hull!" Phoenix yelled as the first cannon sailed in the air before pulverizing a section of their ship's hull. And that was also when a super-sized canine leapt right over her and landed with a loud thump. Apparently, they had decided to send the dogs first.
There were more loud thuds on the main deck as though the sky had suddenly decided to rain dogs. A beautiful sight, but not so pretty when one decided to make a lunge for your face, teeth baring with a snarl that ripped the air.
Phoenix wasn't aware that she was good at punching, but she did realize it now as she sailed one right into the dog's muzzle, sending it crashing into the side of the ship, yelping as her fist made contact. Phoenix winced. She had worked with such dogs before in her time with the rebellion - hell, she even had one as her little pet. It pained her heart to hurt them, and she always had a soft spot for cute, furry animals. Except one might say Valgors weren't exactly 'cute'. Nevertheless, she wasted no more time in making a leap straight for the main deck of the enemy's ship. The dogs were still aggressive after all, but since they didn't have much of a choice in sparing them, she figured she'd let the others do the job...
