"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...

Hearing Phoenix's order to fire at the enemy hull, Jeremy gave a more specific guideline. "Aim for their cannons, we need to knock them out as quickly as we can!" He shouted as he aimed a cannon and fired. The shot was dead on, it was hard to miss at this range, and he decimated one of the rebel's cannon ports.
Emediately he began reloading the cannon to fire again. Then a rebel cannon ball hit the hull right next to Jeremy, blowing a hole through the hull and sending a shower of splintered wood at him and knocking him back. Emediately after the hole had been made three rifle bullets came through that hole wizzing by Jeremy. As he fell backwards the thought that went through his mind was Wow, these rebels know what their doing, firing right behind the cannon ball to hit anyone that hasn't had the chance to move into cover. Then he hit the floor and called out "I'm ok!" as he sprang back to his feet and re-aimed the cannon at the next enemy cannon port and fired.

Bai rolled her eyes at Jon and smacked his wrist, "no injury is 'just an injury'." She said, taking his hand in both of her own and looking at it closely, smiling at his mention of the disinfectant, "oh come on, hike up your skirt and deal with it, it'll hurt a lot more if it gets infect-" She was cut off by the sound of the captain barking orders. Apparently a ship was coming and they were about to do their 'pirate thing'.
"Bai I want you to remain below deck, man the right front gun, we'll send any injured to you."
She sighed and saluted, "sure, sir, I'll do the best I can." She addressed the rest of the crew with a firm look, "just don't be reckless, I'd rather not have to deal with too much gore today, I haven't even had breakfast yet." Turning on her heels, she marched away to go below deck to get to the gun she was assigned. Bai was never a fighter, even during her days with the gang back on the island her parents had left her on. She wasn't fond of hurting other people and besides, she wasn't exactly built to fight. She didn't mind manning the guns because it kept her away from close combat, but she still didn't like having to see the others come out of it with their injuries. It was always a good day when no one got hurt.
She found her cannon and made sure everything was ready before waiting for a signal.
The ship lurched and Bai rammed into the gun, luckily not setting it off. It seemed the Vagus had made contact with the enemy ships. She backed up and checked over herself, her ribs hurt but nothing appeared to be broken. She heard Phoenix's order and quickly scrambled over to her cannon, shutting one eye and beginning to aim it right at the hull.
"Aim for their cannons, we need to knock them out as quickly as we can!" Jeremy's voice was quickly blocked out as he shot a cannon.
Bai jumped, she hadn't noticed Jeremy arrive. "Good lord, boy, I need to get you a bell or something." She muttered, realigning her aim and making sure she was on target. Before she could shoot, shots were heard and she saw the Cabin boy duck for cover. "I'm ok!"
She sighed and smiled, "good, I'd have to kill you if you let yourself get hurt this early." She shut her eye again and aimed once more for the hull and shot, grinning when it made contact.
