The leader grabs Harry and shoves him. The intent is to push him off. "I am not French. I am not a Brit either. I go where money is and your zeppelin will sell for a nice sum of money."

The searchers [more accurately pirates] draw their sabers and guns "everybody into the dining hall. NOW or you will get shot!"

"Well, we will see about tha'" the Scotsman says as he lobs a heavy smoke grenade in the room. He then swigs his axe, imbedding it in a nearby "frenchman's" chest, leaving a dull thud. "Get down e'erbody!"

by 99luftballons Wed Apr 16, 2014 10:20 pm

The noise of the smoke grenade going off, was the signal for both parties to start fighting. The pirates had the advantage: They had weapons already in hand and ready to go. The crew members on the zeppelin were not as fortunate.

In the engine room Crewe and the ambassador were attacked by a goon. Needless to say the ambassador made himself scarce. Crewe on the other hand drew out his own cutlass captured years before (bullets would just make holes in the zeppelin=not good). The goon was good at swords play, but the retired captain had more experience and soon the goon scrambled from the engine room.

The leader walked up to where he shoved Harry making sure that he'd fallen into sea.

The Scotsman was attacked by two pirates on either side. Both of them wielding cutlass.

William kicked the legs out from under one of the pirates luckily, but he wasn't as lucky with the seconds. The second pirate managed slash the Scotsman's left arm wide open, before his axe found his head. William takes a second grenade, a small, clay knockout grenade and tossed it towards the area with the most pirates.

Harry expected he would be pushed off a ship one day so he always came prepared. He pulls a lever located in his hip and a set of wings sprouted from under his jacket along with a steam powered flight suit. He stops his decent very easily and flys around the ship to get a sneak attack on the leader

"Well that wasn't very nice" Harry says as he kicked the leader of the pirates off the ship. From both legs came a holster for two signal handed machine guns.

"Anyone want to party?" he asks

Another silhouette loomed out of the darkness in the meantime, a sleek, torpedo shaped zeppelin appearing from the dark.

by **Helsing** Thu Apr 17, 2014 9:36 am

Harry sees the new ship "If these are more pirates I swar to god"

by 99luftballons Thu Apr 17, 2014 6:39 pm

Harry, standing on the outside of the airship was a convenient target and his offer for a fight was almost instantly taken up. Multiple shots from varying directions went off.

The grenade(s) in the dining hall cause chaos to no end. Pirates and crew alike slash and shoot at anything moving. Passengers are screaming, most heading for their cabins hoping for their safety.

The Ambassador and Crewe meanwhile were along with a few crew members holding the engine room. The zeppelins motors were still running (however the controls are not under control) and the zeppelin began drifting in the direction of the French mainland. The ships hypnotist, a frenchman, was trying to figure out who the pirates were, questioning a run-of-the-mill pirate. Not successful so far.

by **Helsing** Thu Apr 17, 2014 6:51 pm

Harry feels the ship tilt and runs to the controls. He gets there find a pirate and portly shoots him in the back of the head. He then takes the controls and steadies the ship

by **Flagmauth** Thu Apr 17, 2014 7:03 pm

The other airship was turning, exposing its side to the two interlocked zeppelins.

by 99luftballons Thu Apr 17, 2014 9:49 pm

Three pirate thugs appear behind Harry, one of them rushing at him to tackle him.
-----------------------
Paris, France:

Background on the war/ order of the Dragon:

Behind an oaken desk, the leader of the Dragon sat. He was a younger man, a descendant from the famous Richelieu who'd sat at the exact same spot 200 years earlier. On his desk was a message from his spy in Essex:
"The British Ambassador has left to Rome. Coming through Germany carrying secret military plans for a powerful weapons. Heading towards Hamburg."
The young Richelieu smiled. Perhaps the Dragon can get a hold of the weapon before the Black Hand does.

by **Helsing** Thu Apr 17, 2014 9:53 pm

Harry hears the pirates enter and empties a machine gun clip in there direction, killing the pirates.

by 99luftballons Thu Apr 17, 2014 10:25 pm

One of the pirates manged to duck under the barrage of bullets and kicked at the machine gun for it to be knocked out of Harry's hand.

by **Flagmauth** Fri Apr 18, 2014 7:39 am

Spotlights from the unidentified ship blazed down on the two zeppelins locked in combat; the Merlin and Tournade alike. "Attention, attention! Abandonnez vos armes et preparez pour nous nous embarquer sur vos dirigeables!" The message repeated once and then switched to English, albeit rather accented English. "Lay down your arms and prepare to be boarded!"

The spotlights kept the ship's markings out of sight, though it was almost certainly French, and a single flash was followed by a streak of bright orange light flying over the Tournade's dorsal rudder.

by **Helsing** Fri Apr 18, 2014 9:43 am

Harry got the gun kicked out of his hand. With an absents of a weapon harry starts a little boxing death match with the pirate

by 99luftballons Fri Apr 18, 2014 4:41 pm

The pirate tackles Harry, pushing the two of them into the controls. The zeppelin began rapidly drifting at the French ship whilst starting to turn in midair.

Neither the pirates nor the general crew wanted to put down their weapons. As tables in the mess hall began sliding to one end of the wall, pirates and crew immediately began shooting at each other again.

by **Helsing** Fri Apr 18, 2014 5:36 pm

Harry pushes the pirate off of him and then he picks up his fallen gun and shoots the pirate

by Frenchie Fri Apr 18, 2014 6:15 pm

The grenadier try's to find the ambassador, as he seems to be the cause of the conflict.

by **Helsing** Fri Apr 18, 2014 7:00 pm

Harry stratens out the ship and pulls it away before it runs into anything else

by **Flagmauth** Fri Apr 18, 2014 8:54 pm

The French zeppelin fires again, this time a full salvo that sends the ship drifting slightly back away from the two airships before it. The shells slam into the Tournade, ripping its frame wide open and causing significant, though not fatal, damage to the pirate vessel.

by **Helsing** Fri Apr 18, 2014 9:03 pm

Harry decides this is a perfect time to demonstrate his skill of getting the @#$% out of danger when called and moves the ship away as fast as it can

by 99luftballons Fri Apr 18, 2014 10:19 pm

The pirates and crew are still fighting in the mess hall. The Ambassador is in the engine room at the back of the zeppelin and Crewe is helping fight off the pirates.

The pirate ship meanwhile follows in pursuit of the zeppelin.

by **Flagmauth** Sat Apr 19, 2014 12:26 am

The French ship fires another salvo at the pirates, before turning and beginning to steam after the Merlin. Being a warship its engines were quite powerful and it was beginning to gain.

by **Helsing** Sat Apr 19, 2014 6:58 am

Harry can see that the french ship is gaining, he turns in the intercom "Ladies and gentlemen if you look behind the ship you will notice the pirate ship is on fire. And if you look to the left of directly behind us you will see a pissed off french war ship wanting to shoot us out of the sky"

by 99luftballons Sat Apr 19, 2014 7:04 am

"Keep flying. We must be near the Dutch shore soon" Crewe said "we need to bury the crew that perished and find new crew members when we get to Hamburg."

The pirate ship, flew away hastily being a former French military ship as well.
