I shuddered as I realized just how outnumbered we were.


I saw Jaune release a deep breath, before going into the same state he was in during the Vytal Festival.


Looking at the number of creatures in the water, I doubted if it would be enough.


I set about clearing the creatures on the deck, when I noticed something odd.


Some of these creatures have guns on them, powered by Water Dust.


'What? How?' 

Before I could answer that question, I was forced to dodge as a sickle flew threw the air, barely missing my neck.


I deflected a stray bullet coming my way, while leaping over the grasping hands of a creature(?).


The guards were losing quickly.

'Understandable, considering they were expecting to deal with only one or two Grimm and pirates.'


I saw Nora and Ren in the distance, but not the Hunstman who arrived with us.


Lightning began striking. 


I raised a few thin poles of metal from the ship's material to act as lightning rods, using my Semblance, Polarity.


Nora clambered onto one of the lightning rods. Normally, I should be worried, but Nora's Semblance was High Voltage, allowing her to absorb electricity.


Except this was lightning. 


It bore down on Nora with the full wrath of the sky, and as it faded away from my vision, I noticed Nora's skin seeming to crack.


She gained a bigger boost than ever before, but her body was literally breaking apart.


I focused on my own situation, as I slit the throat of another weird fish-humanoid.


I felt a hand grasping my neck, and swung Milo to attack, until I realized it was Jaune.


He was still in that impassive state, but seemed to be trying to communicate something.


He pointed into the depths of the ocean, and I couldn't see anything there.


At least, until the next lighnting strike.


For  brief moment, I saw a bunch of fishmen(?) clumped together in a ball.


'Protecting something maybe?'


I also noticed that despite the scale of the storm, lightning was only hitting the ship, and even the dispersed electricity wasn't spreading far into the ocean, and coincidentally, it only spread to the places where there were no fishmen.
