Zax manages to drive his bow on the pirate commander's softer underbelly as he moves trough, making him release a squeal of pain, but still not enough to stop him.
Pha tries to calm the beast with her song, but it seems deafened by its own rage, unable to listen to any kind of word or reason anymore.
Kong flies above and rushes to the fallen captain. He looks as pale as death, still bleeding... Which means there's still some life on him. He quickly applies the bandage, hoping for the best.
Rabbit's bomb falls right between the pirate commander's feet, shattering the ice beneath. It holds its weapon with a single hand as it tries to latch its other clawed hand into the firm ground of the docks. One, two arrows from Zax impale the large arm, the Hylian Warrior taking advantage of the opening when he isn't threatened by the deadly glaive anymore.
The weakened limb rendered useless, it drops the weapon and starts pulling himself up with its other arm. A shadow grows over him. A new barrel from Machop, coming straight at him. It cracks his skull open, and the monster releases a final cry of pain before exploding in a cloud of black and red smoke!
The docks fall silent for a moment, before the militia and elves start to cheer in. Several of the Hylian Guard however quickly rush to the ice, attending to Rabbit and their Captain. They bandage their still bleeding wounds and make them drink red-colored potions that allow them to regain consciouness.
S-Status report! Did we win? Is that abomination vanquished?-asks the Captain as he slowly stands up, clumsly trying to pick his fallen weapons while his face still remains quite pale.
Yes, Captain-replies one of the nearby Guards-
The strangers suceeded to smite it down just before it reached our lines. We owe them our lives, otherwise it would've surely cut us down like dolls. The ape warrior himself saw to stablizing you before we could get here... You would've surely died if not for his timely aid.The captain silently surveys the docks, breathing heavily, eyeing the empty pirate ship and the still burning artillery positions. Meanwhile one of the guards sent to guard the center of the city arrives at the scene:
Captain, the pirates atempted a sneak attack in our rear, but we were ready thanks to your order and routed them with minimal casualities... Is this a bad time sir? You look like you've seen death and come back again!
No, I'm fine... Worry first about the civilians and your brother in arms, see that the wounded are given proper care and the dead are given their final rites...Then he turns back to you and salutes.
We would've surely fallen if not for you. I can't thank you enough for saving our home and our lifes lifes, and our treasury here is quite limited right now... However I can fully grant you the enemy spoils of this battle. As you've defeated the commander of the enemy vessel, it and its contents are righteously yours to do as you wish. On top of a symbolic monetary reward and full medical care for your services to the Hyrulian Guard once we get back to the City Hall.
As the Captain speaks, the black cloud of smoke dissipates, revealing six tiny red crystals floating a few inches above the ice.
You also can't stop noticing that some of the pirate orcs fallen on the ground seem to still be alive, now that the clamour of battle has ended.
Party Victory!
