Amelia squeaked as Scarlet pulled her close in a rather protective manner. The young lady found herself to be quivering, unable to get used to the noise of clashing swords and screams of terror.

Danial cried out as he landed swift and effective blows on a man not many years older than himself. There was a sickening shift in strength through the man's arm as the blow twisted his sword, torquing the mans hand and fracturing some bones. Daniel remained serious, awaiting the right moment to strike the man with the hilt of his cutlass. 

Bane and himself not long ago had reached Avery. They covered her well and she fought very effectively. Among the craze of the battle and cries of terror a cry of pain stuck out to him. Momentarily swiveling his head around, Daniel saw a young boy be cut down by the opposing captain. He thought Avery would not like that, if she caught it. The heavy set captain continued to make his way over to... them. 

[b]"Miss Avery, g't o'er 'ere."[/b] Daniel barked, feeling the pressure of a need for a simple and swift course of action. The man he had been fighting lunged at Daniel only to find the bite of his cutlass. 

Having created an opening and Avery not responding to him he reached over to her and pulled her from her own scrimish. He was not the strongest man on any crew but he could haul weight, thus when he grabbed her by the waist there was little she could do to protest. Having moved her behind himself, more so than behind Bane but it would be good to note that he was helping as well, he pulled his pistol. Daniel, aimed and shot the man she was fighting, a fatal wound to the chest cavity. He slipped his empty pistol away and pulled Avery's from her jacket. He took aim on the opposing captain and fired.
