	Sakura was pleased by the sight of the giant Blazermate with a giant ship and a giant pirate skeleton. Karin just pressed her lips together and thought that these Seekers really did just let [i]anyone[/i] join up. A practice that would inevitably betray them at some point. At some point, the giant skeleton monster was going to want to eat them instead of being their friend. 

	Next up, was a spot of serene serendipitous sailing. The two girls carried their Steve-made boats on deck and sat them down. While Sakura sat on the edge of the boat, happily kicking her sneakers against it, Karin observed the entire thing with a discerning eye. Not that one needed one with how much of a mess this boat was. [color=fff200]”This boat doesn’t have much class. It is quite literally in a state of disrepair.” [/color]
	[color=f49ac2]”I think it’s cool! Come on, it’s a little cool.”[/color] Sakura said. Karin frowned as a will o’ wisp crewman passed her by. No comment.

	It was then something caught her attention. She squinted up at the birds that were taking flight. If it wasn’t for Nadia’s keen eyes and warning, it would have taken her a while longer to react. Even still, her only reaction was a surprised gasp and a flailing of her limbs. It was Karin who yanked her off the railing and onto the ground. Crouched over Sakura and raised both her hands. An explosion went off in front of them and defensive Ki energy sparked as Karin deflected the fragmentation blast with comparative ease. Though the sleeves of her red jacket were cut into, and it still hurt. Sakura got up and crouched back to back with Karin just in time for a bomb to land behind them. Crossing both arms, she too absorbed the kinetic energy of the blast. Wood and shrapnel chipped at both girls. Wide-eyed, Sakura looked out to the water as their enemies made their introductions. She didn’t even notice Karin speed off to grab something.

	[color=f49ac2]”Oh, man…”[/color] Sakura said. [color=f49ac2]”Is- is everyone okay? We have to do something!”[/color] She called out, frenetic.

	Then she turned around to face her friend rapidly approaching friend, Karin. [color=f49ac2]”You saved me! Karin?”[/color] Her friend was carrying a single rowboat.

	[color=f49ac2]”What’s the plan?”[/color]  Sakura asked, wide-eyed.

	[color=fff200]”Our enemy has naval superiority. You and I must get on board an enemy ship as fast as possible, where we have the advantage.”[/color] Her eyes, razor sharp, scanned the oncoming forces. There was only one ship to board. Since their enemies were uncoordinated, there was a sizeable gap in their assault that would allow Sakura and Karin to breach through and attack the overlong named Tinkerslung.

	[color=fff200]”My boat was destroyed, so we will be taking yours. Are you with me, Miss Sakura?”[/color] Karin asked.

	Sakura nodded rapidly, hyped, her adrenaline pumping. [color=f49ac2]”Yeah! Let’s go kick some ass!”[/color] She said, raising the back of her fist, which Karin quickly met with her own.

	[color=fff200]”Quite. Let us begin.”[/color] Karin said with a small smile. Fear or hesitation wasn’t an option. She tossed the boat overboard, where it landed neatly on the surface. Sakura followed after, crouching and gripping the oars.

	[color=fff200]”Sakura and I shall be assaulting the Tinkerslug! PROVE YOUR WORTH, SEEKERS!”[/color] With that command she vaulted over the edge and joined her long-time battle companion. Karin seemed to want to let Sakura drive, but Sakura insisted.

	[color=f49ac2]”You drive, Karin! I’ll use my Hadokens to stop any cannon shells that get too close.”[/color] She said. Karin opened her mouth, but then nodded, letting Sakura take her by shoulder as she sat on her legs in the boat. Karin swished her coiled hair and leaned forward, her arms beginning to pump circularly.


	One speedy vessel, relying on their small size to not be hit by the enemy. They would leave before the Raptor Elites arrived, and they would be of no notice to the forces attacking the Adrian from below.

	[color=fff200]”Once there, we shall destroy the enemy's cannons! Then, defeat that scantily-clad, royal pretending pirate queen and seize her disgusting vessel for ourselves, taking it out of the fight. After that is done, we will decide our next move depending on the state of the battle.”[/color] Karin surmised between breaths, watching the Tinkerslug infront of them.

	[color=f49ac2]”We can do this! Our friends have our backs. They’ll get done beating the other guys before the TInkerslug is ours, I bet!”[/color] Sakura said optimistically.

	Karin smirked, slyly, eyes narrowing with battle lust. [color=fff200]”Oh, I doubt that very much so.”[/color]
