All of the wood ships go down easily, but four of the steel ships remain and several more begin to surface. They pull in close to the FRA battleship and several skeletons and ghouls begin to board the ship, some with swords, some with guns, some with their bare hands.

I laugh. "Hah! A bunch of lies!" I said. The cards started rotating around the roulette. Everyone oculd hear the machinary turn and whizz. The swords started slashing Prisma. "Told ya to move!" I said laughing.

I frown slightly and appear infront of the ministry, i could feel something, see something drawing me there. i glance around and hten walk towards it. the appearance of an old frail man apphearing over me. i walk in, not really sure how i knew how to do that.
I glance towards the cells, i could see a white line pointing from me to there, i turn and head down the stairs, following hte line slowly.

I quickly order the 16-inch projectiles reprogrammed to explode on contact and fire a second salvo at nine steel ships. I order the engine room to flank speed and for the stokers to overfire their boilers. The crew fights off the skeletons with rifle fire at first, but when this proves ineffective they use their rifles as clubs.

Three of the ships go down, but even more ships are pulling in. Now all of the ships are within range and more and more undead are boarding, mindlessly and viciously attacking the crew. The ghosts begin to move in, their spectral claws freezing the lifeblood of the capitalist sailors, while mud-men flop onto the deck and begin enveloping them.

I order my helmsman and first officer down to the boiler room and take the ship's wheel myself. The crew begins to use cutlass and water hoses to fight off the boarders, and the gun crews fire as fast as they can reload their weapons.

While some of the ships are going down, more and more undead continue to board and push at the sailors. The ghosts are having the most success, as their incorporeal make-up allows them to avoid most countermeasures being taken.

I growl as I see that we are pulling away, but not fast enough. We are already risking severe mechanical damage due to the overfiring, and I can't risk being adrift this far out to sea. I call out to Anima We need your help now! We are under undead assault, and need a diversion to pull away!

Sam chuckles and sends another text message. "If you consider your best friend and mechanic Sam to be your consience, then yeah. Now, where are you? I want to check up on your systems, plus I haven't seen you in a while."
She hits enter and waits for a reply.

More ships appear on the horizon, all crewed with a vicious horde of undead.

Mitsune gives a small smile to Mamori and nods. "Yes, I did. Thank you." She says and crosses her legs. "I hope you're not mad that I didn't help with your fight.."
She says shyly.

There is no reply but soon a shining gate appears and I emergy, hurling holy fire at the encroaching undead army and obliterating them in large numbers.

I scream as the cards slash me and I try to move. I scream as they cut me. "No!" I draw my sword. "I will fight you!" I say breathing heavily.

d**n IT!!! my mind shouts. As it already is I can tell that we will have to spend several days in port repairing damage to the boilers just from the overfiring, but I order the boilers fired even hotter, and the turbines run above their set speed limit. The foreward gun crews pour shells onto the ships amassing before us, some airbursts to sink the wooden ships, some aimed shots to pulvertize the steel ones.

Many of the ships go down but still more appear on the horizon, the numbers have already reached about two hundred and are climbing rapidly.
