It was once again night.... This was for a very good reason you see, night was one of the most optimal times to take control of things, that and nobody was ever on guard at night. Probably because there were little people that actually wanted to take a night shift. Unless they were nocturnal or some shit. Natalya had assembled about 15 of her men at the docks, all under the cover of night actually. They were going to steal one of these ships the right way. Alright guys, listen here. We're gonna sneak onto one of these ships, and we're gonna slowly take everybody out without being noticed. Then, we're going to take that ship, and use it to blow to hell all these other ships. Alright men!?When I get on board and start clearing people out, that will be your cue to start getting on. I think only like 1 person is on there because its night.
Yes MA'AM!
With that, Natalya would sneak her way inside one of the ships that was docked at bay right now. Carefully surveying left and right for anyone that was inside of it that had to be watched out for. She would make her way to the deck, where there seemed to be only 1 guy on board actually. Barely awake and just watching the ship. Who she attempted to sneak up on, only for him to notice her, barely. Oi..Who the fuck are you lad-He was soon interrupted however by her running towards him and delivering a flying jump kick, followed by several stomps on his head once on the ground. The man was done for and pretty much disabled/dead at this moment. Preventing him from effectively alerting anyone of her presence. With that, Natalya then bent over the deck and gave the signal for her men to board the ship now and operate the cannons. About 10 of them would be on the deck and various areas with their rifles trained to shoot whoever and whatever was getting in their way as well. You, take the helm.She would direct to one of the mooks as he obliged and would begin to turn the ship around to face the other pirate ships at harbor, there were about 2-3 more of them. However this would take a minute or two, so Natalya would then resume going down to the lower decks.
Walking down the stairs, Natalya went down over to where the cannons were and began to address her men. Alright men. There are about 2-3 more ships left that we need to take out. What we are going to do is utterly blow them to hell so that these damn pirates won't get in our way. Do you understand?This is also so they cannot escape. When we face our first ship, fire immediately, and do not stop loading and firing until that shit is down for good. Once the first one is down, move onto the second one once our cannons are adjusted to fire at it. Because it is night, do this as fast as possible so that they do not have ANY time to react. Any questions?
Sir Yes Sir!
With that, the men began to load the cannons and get everything ready. As a smirk spread across Natalya's face. These pirates were utterly doomed, she didn't care much about the actual piracy going on anyway, after all she was a small time criminal who just decided "hey I'll be a marine so my parents will get the fuck off my back".Heh, guess things were working out slightly. Goddamnit Dragonov shut the hell up. If she got cocky now....She could get herself nearly killed again like she had in the past.
As the ship turned to face the other pirate ship, the cannons would begin to open fire. Exploding across the deck, the sudden explosions would wake up anyone within the radius, but by then it was too late. Their ship was nearly sank, and caught on fire from all the cannons piercing and breaking right through the hull. Her men were not anything slow when it came to loading and firing the cannons, it was not like they could miss with how close to each other the ships were. Unfortunately this left her ship vulnerable to being shot at, provided the enemy ships actually had a chance to fight back. As the first ship was sinking into the ground from catching fire, the crew on board burning as various pirates could be seen yelling and panicking. The second ships crew began to wake up. Alright Full speed ahead!Turn us so we can shoot that other ship down!
The mook at the helm obliged as he turned full speed ahead in order to align the other available cannons with that ship. As men on that ship began to get onto the deck, Natalya's own men began to fire back down at them as well to prevent any comeback attacks from coming at them. Taking down about 3-4 of them due to their lack of knowing they would be shot down. As the ship faced it's left to the pirate ship. The cannons would begin to open fire again as per Natalya's orders, various cannon balls launching into the hull and base of the enemy ship. Before the enemy gunners or any form of infantry could really retaliate back, they were overwhelmed before they could even react in the first place. Watching the enemy ship rock back and forth from the explosions, holes forming inside of it. Natalya smirked. It was practically done for, there was no putting out the rest of these flames whatsoever. Now, she would then direct her men to turn the ship back to the harbor and once it arrived back there she would order them once more. Alright everybody move out, we're leaving.However, on her own way out, Natalya took a nearby oil lamp and lit a cigarette of her own, before throwing the lamp onto the ground and igniting it on fire as her own men had for the most part exited the ship. Leaving a literal trail of flames as she left the ship that had fired upon it's own fleet.
Right now, the crews would think that there was a traitor amongst them. However in truth it was all Natalya's doing. Her men had made sure to retrieve the valuables within the ship as well in order to make the most out of this. Why on earth wasn't she a pirate right now? Oh right, then she'd actually have marines coming at her, and she'd have filth such as this town associated with her. EW.
As the ships inner flames spread, Natalya and her troops walked away. Everyone in the vicinity clearly knowing, that of all people. This doing was her doing, and there was no way she could be stopped once she started. Her next plan of action was relatively simple compared to this first one. Simply kill off the Remanent or arrest the remains of the crew she had flushed out of their hide out before, and from there eradicate/arrest everyone else.
All in a day's work.
