Danger In The last Hope

(Sorry for the late update! <Insert excuses here> )

                 "Drop em!" Axel yelled again pulling the dagger an inch from Ail's face. Ail flinched at the dager being so close and that was when Pip dropped his wepon. All his men did the same and there wepons clanged against the ground. "Leave Ail out of this Axel." Pip pleded for him. Axel looked at the surounding ships and was going to make this work in his favor. The estcort ship's archors were alread poniting his way, including an angery mother. 

                   "Take the shot Geode! I dare you!" Axel pulled Ail to face her. Ail looked at his mother neerly in tears scared for not just him but everyone. Geode looked down the arrow with Axel in her sights wanting so bad to whipe the scolow off his face.  

                     She lowered her bow and all the other archer looked at her confused. "Put them down," Geode told the archers. Everyone seemed confused and hestated. "We cant risk hitting Ail, now put them down!" She yelled and everyone quickly did. 

                       Now thats taken care of. He looked back to Pip with his own guards gathering the wepons and throwing them overbord. "What do you want Axel." Pip asked willing to give anything in a stearn voice. Axel saw more of his ships aproching and decided to stal. "My father was foolish to keep peace with you, your island isnt even worth it. We should of taken it over centurys ago. Now im going to restore The Conqureing Tribe's glory, starting with Cascade." He pulled Ail closer feeling him try and slip away. "Then why did you bring the Toxic Strike?" Ail asked demanding to know, "A elusive and feared dragon can be worth more money then you'll ever know." He said in his ears. 

                       From the two aproching ships came massive chains that bersted out of the front and ripped right through the front of the escort ships. The inpact made most of everyone on it fall down catching them off guard. "Mom," Ail  said silentliy.  He watched her get up and run towards the front of the ship. He looked at the rest of the apporching ships and knew there was no more hope. Unless.......

                         Ail's eyes shot open knowing there was but one more hope. He looked at his bow trying to find some way to get free. He saw a way out but is was going to hurt, but by now he was no stranger to pain. He looked at Pip and slightly nodded giving him a warning. 

                           He dropped his legs putting all his wheght on the arm that was behind him which was enough for Axel's hand to slip and drop it. Then he pulled his head back to avoid the dagger and he slipped out from under the bow. As soon as he hit the floor he pulled his arm back around and clenched it to try and ease the pain of the the twisting. 

                            Over his head Pip tackled Axel throwing his bow off to the ground while his men tryed to fight off Axel's gaurds. Ail got up, grabbed his bow and ran through the fighting towards the stairs down to the deck. He ducked and dodged the swinging fists as Pip's men were struggling with out weapons. He made it to the stairs and ran down them, his adrenaline moving him faster then he had ever ran. 

                              He looked over to his mother's ship to see they were being boarded. The ship with the chain used it to pull it closer faster. They had boards dropped to run across and while most of them were being shot in the arm before the made it across, they were being overrun. Ail spotted Geode on top of a stack of barrels getting the high ground to shot them down. 

                               He made it to the stairs to the lower deck and ran so fast down them he almost tripped. When he made it down he found that the two guards were still there and it was because of something he didn't notice, they were Axel's guards. Both armed with spears they jolted for him. Ail got out his bow, but knew aiming would be impossible in such a tight space, so instead as they both went in for his head he slid under them. Then he used his bow to hit the left guards legs as hard as he could. Thankfully it was enough for him to lose balance and fall forward. Ail reached the door handle and opened it, went in, and slammed it behind him. 

                                Looking around he saw some crates with some fish, so he ran over and to put them in front of the door. He grunted picking up the heavy crate, but was able to get over to the door before dropping it. He glanced around the room for anything else and ended up putting what ever he grabbed in front of door. Including, lighter crates, chairs, desks and a broom.

                               Once he thought he was done he turned around to see the Toxic Strike still in chains with the same lifeless eyes. Ail, in all the moving found some thick leather gloves that they most likely used to chain her up with. He slipped them on and ran to her face and picked it up so even if she didn't want to look at him she would have to. "Please, get up! " He yelled.

                                   What am I thinking?!? He dropped her head and put his hand on his own. He shook away the thought and ran to take the chains off hoping that would do something.  The Toxic Strike finally got a little life back in her as she felt the chains being pulled off. They weren't locked thankfully and Ail was able to start to get them off her legs. She looked back at him trying to free her as fast as he could. 

                                  Her head whipped around has the door was pulled open the other way, as it was a pull door. "Oh give me a break!" Ail yelled getting the last chain off her foot. The guards started pushing all the piled up stuff out of the way to get through. She looked to them then back to Ail, this was the proof for her that he wasn't the enemy. Ail pulled the last chain holding her down and threw it to the side. 

                                    Ail ran back to her face and put his hand on the muzzle and looked her in the eyes, still hesitant to take it off. She looked back at him slightly doubting he would, but ether way she stood to her feet. Ail got up with her and slowly grabbed the clamps, his hands shaking as they moved. "I know, you have no reason to help us, but please I'm beggi-" 

                                    He was suddenly hit over the head with the wooden part of a spear and fell to the ground letting go of the clamps. She narrowed her eyes and swung her tail around and spiked it up. They both backed away slowly before the growled and hit them with her tail so hard they went flying and hit the wall. They both landed on the ground with one landing on the other completely nocked out.

                                    She unspiked her tail and sniffed Ail's head. He didn't respond so she nudged his head making a humming sound in worry. Then he suddenly started to come through opening his eyes slightly and moaning. He looked up to her as his vision cleared and he got a bad headache. He got to his knees and his eyes shot open, he remembered that everyone was still in danger. Looking around the room he saw the two guards laying on the ground nocked out. Ail looked back to her and knew she must had done it and with her shy smile he figured, or more hoped, she was on his side now. 

                                     They heard more commotion on the ceiling above them and they both looked up, Ail could tell the fighting moved down. They both looked at each other and Ail grabbed the clamps then took a deep breath. 

Show them why your feared, he twisted the clamps and the muzzle slid off.

                                        "I should had none you were up to something!" Pip yelled at Axel as they circled each other on the top deck. A guard charged Pip with a sword, but he caught it and threw him over his shoulder. He stole the sword just in time to block Axel's daggers as he went in for a stab. Axel kicked him in the stomach and nocked him back, "Face it Pipsqueak, your men will fall, and Cascade will be ours. If you tell your men to stand down I'll give them a painless death." Axel said gesturing to all his approaching ships. "We rather go down with a fight!"

                                         BOOM! The middle of the deck exploded and the Toxic Strike flew out the hole. Its eyes starred through the dust and it roared with the might of thunder from Thor. It stopped all the fighting on all ships for them all to looked at it. She flew up to show Ail holding on to her tail as she flew up. 

                                          "ARE YOU CRAZY!?!" Axel yelled at Ail as they flew up right next to the sails. She stopped at the top and Ail let go and landed on the wooden beam. 

Hype! Stay tell next week!
