Kabanata 20
Attacked

Muling nagpaputok si Artius at sa pagkakataong ito'y hindi niya natamaan ang kalaban. Naging mabilis ang kanilang paglayag palapit sa amin.

Hindi matigil ang kaba ko habang patuloy pa rin nila kaming pinapaputukan.

Their shouts echoed like an incoming thunder that are ready to hit us. Our crews are ready yet I am still worry that the enemy will smash us.

Especially that there are a lot of them and we are just seven. And I have no knowledge of how to use the sword I am holding.

"Are we going to fight them, Kapitan?" Artius asked on Lexus.

"We have no choice. Kung magawa man nating lampasan sila'y hahabulin pa rin nila tayo." Sagot ni Lexus sa kanya kaya hindi ko maiwasang huminga ng malalim.

We really need to fight. Even if we avoid them, they will still follow us. I don't know what they're after for but what I'm sure is they won't stop.

Sobrang lapit na nila sa amin nang paputukan sila ulit ni Artius. It only hit the side of the other ship.

Ngayon ay tanaw na tanaw ko na ang mga sakay ng dalawang barko. There are a lot of them! May mga babae pa na ang galawan ay parang mga lalaki.

When they are already in front of us, they swing on the big ropes and landed on our ship's deck.

Nion and Cleve started fighting them while Xen also faced the woman who's trying to attack me.

Napahigpit ang hawak ko sa espada. Sumulpot si Lexus sa gilig ko at may hawak na ring espada.

Our ship stopped in the middle and the enemies are starting to come in.

"Stay beside me, my Queen." Lexus said and I nodded.

Dumadami na ang pumapasok sa barko namin. Artius handle those big guys that wants to destroy our canon.

Sa gilid naman ay nakikipaglaban si Vian gamit ang kanyang dalawang kutsilyo.  Mabilis ang kanyang mga galaw at halatang napakabihasa niya sa pakikipaglaban. She's really indeed a hunter.

"Who are you? What do you want from us?" Lexus asked the man he's fighting.

Sinuklian lamang siya ng ngisi ng lalaki kaya hindi na nagdalawang-isip pa si Lexus at binawian ito ng buhay.

Dahil sa padami ng padaming kalaban ay napalayo si Lexus sa akin. Pinalibutan siya ng mga naglalakihang lalaki.

"Oh, look what we have here. A scared cat."

May babaeng lumapit sa akin, may hawak siyang isang malaking palakol. Nang-aasar ang kanyang mukha habang tinititigan ako.

Nilakasan ko ang loob at inayos ang sarili. I positioned myself together with my sword. I pointed it to her but she seems not afraid at all.

"I am not scared." I said that I almost stuttered.

Ngumisi lamang siya habang ako'y pilit na sineseryoso ang mukha  upang kunwari'y hindi ako natatakot sa kanya.

But my hands betrayed me, it was trembling together with my knees. Shit. I'm really a scared cat.

"Really? But looks like you're going to pee." Natatawang sambit ng babae kaya hindi ko maiwasang mainis.

May naririnig akong mga naglalaglagan sa tubig. It was the Veronica's crews throwing some assholes out of our ship.

Nalingat lamang ako ng kunti sa kalabang nasa aking harapan at nang mapalingon ulit ako sa kanya'y papasugod na siya sa akin habang hawak ang kanyang palakol.
