Chapter 21: The Ambush Part 2

Chapter 21 The Ambush Part 2!

Enyo neared the road but stayed in the shadows, watching the marines. They we're nervous, shakily clutching their firearms, it was time to strike. A platinum tendril flew out of the forest, seizing the arms of the nearest soldier and yanking him forward, straight into a thick tree trunk where he was knocked unconscious. The other two opened fire on where the first assault came, and Enyo sent out another attack. This time, pushing one of them with such force that he too was slammed into a tree, and went lights out. Only one remained, he made a break for it, either out of fear or to get reinforcements... It didn't matter. Enyo stepped out of the trees.

"Don't let him get away! He has the key!"

The woman smirked devilishly.

"Don't worry, he won't."

The piratess willed her ability forward, and like an arrow, straight and true, it shot through the air and lassoed the fleeing man. Wrapping him in another Stirling cocoon, the grey haired woman dragged him back before pilfering the key from his person. She hurried over and unlocked Spud's cuffs.

"Is it true? Did they really capture the captain? "

"I'm afraid so." Enyo said, as she released Pierro.

"How did you know we were here?" Bart asked as she fiddled with his restraints.

"Before Law- I mean, the captain was captured, he gave me a message: Lavender town."

Pierro leaned his weight to one side and placed his hands on his hips as he spoke.

"So wait a minute, why weren't you captured?"

"I thought I would be, but the Marines ran straight past me. They mustn't know I'm part of the crew."

"Hmm, makes sense. You haven't even been with us for more than a week." Spud concluded.

"Is there anyone else who got away?" Bart questioned, but Enyo shook her head.

"The head marine guy said they had everyone, and the ship too."

Bart hummed in thought.

"We need to leave this area, the rest of the marines could be on their way back."

"We need to get these guys out of sight" Pierro said, glaring at the unconscious marines.

"Allow me."

Enyo said, and her serpentine hair came alive, wrapping itself around the limp bodies, binding and gaging them. Once again she used the Selene sickle to cut her hair and separate it from the bonds. After hiding the bodies deep in the brush, the pirate quartet began to move towards the docks as the sun slowly disappeared.

...

As they reached the port the pirates hid behind some large supply crates.

"I don't see any navy ships, surely they wouldn't hold pirates captive on their own vessel?" Enyo said.

"They wouldn't." Pierro answered before continuing.

"They would have taken the captain and the others to their ship which is most likely anchored in the main bay."

"Then what should we do?" (E)

"We need to get the sub first. No point rescuing the others if there's no means of escape." (P)

Enyo nodded and Spud turned back from where he was peeking around the corner.

"There's two men guarding the sub and another two patrolling the boardwalk heading this way."
