The flame princess floated down back to the ship flooring beside Remus as he diminished The Talons in wispy purple energy. His face showing slight exhaustion as it met with his companion's. "Ahh..that was tiring to say the least" He clicked his back as he leaned backwards with a sigh of pleasure, the previous swaying of the ship had seemingly died down as it slowly tilted in the same direction as the waves below, the boy believed that their short job was done so he decided to go back towards the railings to the side of the Myrmiddon. He lay his head backwards on the rails and closed his eyes, this feeling of relaxation was short lived as almost instantly the ship jerked sideways as if it was pushed, but for something to lurch this big hefty ship it'd have to be even bigger than the ship itself. The force that it was moved was enough to nearly throw the resting Remus overboard, his body flailed in the air as his eyes locked onto the water below and his heart immediately began beating faster and faster. "Momma's gotcha' you sap" The irritated voice of Mitsumaki was heard above the boy. He was being held up by the ends of his jacket, the flame princess hovered over the water and landed the two back safely on the flooring of their vessel.
Myrmiddon was still shaking and began doing so much more frequently by this ominous being under those aboard, Remus folded his arms and slowed his breathing in order to calm himself to try and make sense of what was going on. It was at that moment when a large gust of water flew into the air akin to that of a geyser, the boy was skeptical of going over to the edge to see what it was so he kept his distance and labelled it to be nothing more than an enlarged dolphin. "Even that wouldn't make any sense though, what's going on exactly? What happened to the undead?" Remus questioned as he ran his closed fist under his chin a few times, the swaying had worsened to the point that water was rushing up and over the railings of the Myrmiddon.
Mitsumaki floated beside the boy as she herself tried to get a grip on things but to avail. Remus and the others yelped as the hull of the ship bore the weight of something incredibly powerful, the young pirate whipped his head around to see the horror that lay before him. A gigantic dark tentacle was wrapped across the ship's hull and still had water sliding down to the floor of the crunched hull around the monstrous appendage. A mixture of anger and confusion was plastered across his face, he got up from the deck and ran outwards unto meeting the owner of the tentacle. The being itself was enormous in comparison to the Myrmiddon, it possessed more tentacles and finned hands which seemed to be about half the size of the ship, the facial structure was what shocked the boy the most as it's teeth were all sharpened hilts on rows and rows. Black abyss eyes and large spikes protruded along the spine. Over the roar of the terrific beast Remus' ears locked onto the yells of his captain. The Claw. Cracking out of his small moment of awe he rushed into the area that all of the members were in previously before the plan to go aboard or stay on was issued and looked for the controls which activated the claw's features. "Mitsu try and get the ship in the air" He exclaimed looking her dead in the eye with utter seriousness and was responded by a simple nod as she stopped levitating and scoured for the flight options.
Another roar sounded and with that the hull went with the weight of the moving tentacle as it tightened a little more before slowly letting up, another dark object was seen thankfully by Remus's acute vision in the water, sheer seconds came and the boy found a pair of joysticks and got into his mode, moving the big object known as the claw around he managed to clasp the tentacle which shot up at him and move it about before it slid back into the watery depths. He twirled the claw around and swung it into the face of the deadly monster causing it to be taken off guard and flopping into the water bringing the other tentacles with it. Mitsumaki had begun to take to the skies as the engine kicked into action after a few tries, the Myrmiddon was in the air and all was well. Or so they thought. The black object grew back up from the sea and it bellowed flailing it's numerous tentacles about, the beast was enraged and looked about for it's enemies hellbent on dealing out destruction.
"Be careful guys, this is far from the norm! Try to take out the tentacles first!" A shouting Remus hoped to get his voice heard by those below and give some sort of guidance to fighting the creature he creatively labelled it the Kraken,even though he was sure the others would've named it something cooler, despite the crazy situation they were in.
