Abigail blinked.  It all happened fairly quickly.  One second the only other surviving member of the pirate crew was looking down at the acid and the next she was attacking the tortoise and then shouting at her to do something.  The red pirate didn't need to be told again.  She wrapped her power gathering hand around the lower section of the blade's handle and the whole thing lit up like a Christmas tree after being doused with gasoline just before the control for the lights flicked to the on position.  

The glare was enough to make the sword carrying pirate wince.  "Okay here I go."  She rushed forward as fast as her injured leg, and thrust the end of her blade at the nearest opening.  Her plan was simple, and that simplicity made it elegant.  Basically, she hoped to break the tortoises skin, it didn't have to be deep, and poor all the power she could directly into the massive lizard's well armored body.
