Lightning circulating around him as a barrier, Jecht took up his fighting stance. What nonsense is that wizard blabbing... he wondered, but after the strange stanza was completed, fire sparked around the wizard's fists. That was a spell?! he thought, baffled. Jecht had never seen a wizard cast spells like this one! He crossed his arms together to prepare for a block, confident that his electricfying barrier would stop the approaching flaming fists. 

The wizard swung at his face and was blocked, but the lightning began to spiral out of control, beginning to shoot out at different directions. They struck at different parts of the ship so Jecht, knowing he couldn't risk damaging the ship or his crew, frowned and let down the lightning shield. With the lightning no longer protecting him, the wizard's fiery fist easily punched Jecht in the face. The vampire felt an intense burn on his cheek as he soared through the air, knocked so hard by the wizard that he was sent flying. "D-damn..."he cursed, panic filling him as he crashed into the bowsprit then falling into the ocean. The burning in his cheek didn't vanish despite the captain being submerged in the water. Damn magic... he thought, swimming frantically back to the surface. 

Not realizing that he dropped the golden hook into the ocean, Jecht summoned lightning towards the water. Because of the water the lightning shocked his entire body as he came into contact with it, but he merely shook off the feeling. He onto lightning like a vine. "I'll kill you...!"he growled, unsheathing the sword that he had with him the entire time, and channeling lightning through it to make it some sort of electric sword. His weapon in hand, Jecht jumped off the lightning bolt and headed straight for the wizard, his lightning sword prepared to strike his neck.
