Or… [color=Rosybrown]This Party’s Getting Crazy![/color][/h2]
[color=Azure]Maelyn[/color] & [color=RosyBrown]Elias[/color]

Day 3, Evening[/center]

The two had taken to the stage and their song began, their song for the lovely couple, this was their gift to them, to give them a night to remember. To give them a song that would encompass the bride and groom’s love and passion for one another. It was like a dream, a dream that suddenly turned into a nightmare.

As the sibling’s song ended, the very sky itself unfolded and a black swarm emerged, attacking the Knights in arms on the ship. Aberrations tore into the warriors around them, until they too were victims of this invasion. A small group encroached the stage and Elias, quick to react, and always ready to butt heads, smashed the acoustic guitar into the first Aberration in front of him. The guitar’s frame cracked in half, leaving the lower portion of it to hang on only by its strings, the enemy of course was more annoyed than anything as it roared in Elias’ face.

[color=RosyBrown]”Tch, typical…”[/color] He rolled out of the way of its claws as the creature retaliated.

[color=Azure]”Elias!”[/color] The annoyed voice of Maelyn called out as she pierced through the carapace of an Aberration, felling the beast.

[color=RosyBrown]”What?!”[/color] As he got back to his feet, he was already swinging the guitar around like a flail.

[color=Azure]”That was a rental!”[/color] She pirouetted to the side as another attacker came at her before she sliced off its attacking claw. As it turned to face her, about to scream, the bow pierced through its skull and it dropped to the ground dead.

[color=RosyBrown]”We’ll pay for it later, now’s not the time!”[/color] He brought the pseudo flail down onto the creature’s head, smashing the guitar into flying splinters. This of course only served to piss the creature off more and with its attention fully on Elias, Maelyn was able to step around it and decapitate it with one fell swoop of her blade. [color=RosyBrown]”Shit, this isn’t working. Maelyn, give me some cover!”[/color]

Elias began running towards the opposite end of the stage with vigor as his sister complied and played a few notes on her violin.  The totems, once happy and full of music, suddenly took on a more sinister glow as they flew around, and like angry sentinels began firing fiery hot beams of energy into the Aberrations, searing through flesh and chitin. Two of them flew alongside the brother as he traversed across the stage, dealing with any who dared to harm the young man.

His body flew forward, weaving to and fro as more of the aberrations blocked his path. They tried to claw at him, tearing through his shirt, only managing to nick at his skin.  One jumped in front of him, roaring in his face before he slid himself under the beast and its face was melted away by the guardian totems. Elias slid right off the stage, out of sight of his sister, who watched anxiously as the creatures followed after him. Her worry was for naught as the aberrations were blasted away by a powerful sonic blast, a chord from Elias’ guitar, as he hopped back on stage, his ‘axe’ in hand. Another chord sounded out and fire spewed forth from its head, burning through the creatures in front of him. Screaming, clutching for anything, they fell, flesh bubbling underneath chitin as their forms popped beneath the carapaces. The brother rejoined his sister, his back against hers as he chided, [color=RosyBrown]”Next time, we skip the rental.”[/color] He whipped the axe in an overhead strike, bearing it down on the closest Aberration before him, splitting its skull in two before it collapsed on the deck. He ripped the axe out of the creatures skull then tore the shredded shirt off his form, breathing a sigh of relief, [color=RosyBrown]"That's better."[/color] A wicked grin crossed Elias' lips.

The two fought hard, back to back, unleashing their songs of war against the enemy invaders. Fire and lightning flashed, air pressurized as shockwaves erupted, flinging Aberrations into the dark waters below. Axe blows landed hard, rapier strikes landed precise, parries, pirouettes, ripostes. The two made use of each other and their fighting styles to fell the monsters around them. It wasn’t long before a giant Aberration emerged from the aether, its very essence piercing the sibling’s skulls. Despite this they carried on, fighting for their lives, and as they took stock of the situation around them, it seemed some other aberrations, far different from the drones had emerged aboard the ship.

[color=Azure]”Elias! They need our help!”[/color] Maelyn’s voice was pleading to her brother, and he knew exactly what she meant.

[color=RosyBrown]”Right!”[/color] He struck a powerful chord and a sonic wave erupted from around the two, clearing the area around them of any drones.  Maelyn acted quickly, playing a few notes on her violin, four more guardian totems emerged, surrounding them, and with a glow of energy, emitted a shield that barred the creatures from passing through to the bards. 

[color=RosyBrown]”Ready sis?!”[/color]

[color=Azure]”Ready!”[/color]

With that confirmation, the two took stance, and began to play. Their song was loud, loud enough to reach the knights and pirates on the ship, in hopes to inspire them, to drive them, to fight harder against the enemy invaders. There was an unstoppable horde before them, little hope for victory, but that didn’t mean they could just give up, there was a world to protect, people with hopes and dreams ready to fight and die for those they cared for. It wasn’t much, but maybe it would help turn the tide in the warriors favor.
