Chapter 47: God save the Queen!
Rainbow Dash shrugs off dropping all her firepower into the ocean as she climbs up the ship, runs past the battle and flips the sword handle into her mouth. She jumps to the higher front part of the ship where
Admiral Waverider and
Hernando Cortez are dueling. (2 vs. 1) She sprints past and gives Cortez an annoying cut on his Left Pinky.
The Pastamancer sends his spaghetti element over to suck the life out of the Ballestro. The flying spaghetti mass obeys and flies over to
La Hispaniola aiming it's noodely tentacles at the crossbowman. (4 vs. 5) When a tentacle pokes him, the Ballestro swings his crossbow at it. (4 vs. 6) The spaghetti floats away from the counter attack.
Meanwhile, the lack of the spaghetti element on the Lunar vessel gives time for the
Anti-Pastians to attack the pasta wizard! (5 vs. 2) They throw him to the ground and start kicking him in the weakest points in the armor just as he fires a spear off at the Artillero! (3 vs. 4) It misses, and the anti-pastians just kick him over and over.
Applejack takes out a swig of Hard Sweet Apple Acres Cider. (Rights Reserved) (4) With a stiff gulp, the drink doesn't heal any of her wounds, but it dulls all the pain.
"Alright, let's get it on doggies!" The slightly inebriated mare grasps her sword via mouth and charges into the Spanish Guards. (5 vs. 4) This time she gains the advantage as many are sliced and bucked off ship by her accord.
Lieutenant Colonel Alfred Daniel Wintle, limps to the side of the ship and leans against the door leading to the ship's interior. He points his Webley Revolver at the Artillero.
"By order of Queen, Minister, and God, I send you off my homeland!" (2 vs. 1) He shoots the Artillero in the toe, and he falls to the floor.
The Lunar Guards now have over a 2-1 advantage over the Spanish guards and charge them! (4 vs. 2) They hack more of them to pieces, throwing countless bodies overboard.
Ballestero loads his Crossbow again.
Artillero, lying on the ground. Grunts as he props himself into a prone position, aims his musket up with
Lieutenant Colonel Alfred Daniel Wintle one more time and fires. (6 vs. 1) Wintle flinches as the lead ball tears through his vital organs. Bleeding out a waterfall, he staggers his way to the edge of the ship. He then turns around and addresses the
L.R.S. Crater:
"It seems my time is up! I would like to congratulate this musket wielding fellow as the victor in my final duel, but most of all I want to thank the Lunar Republic for allowing me a chance to serve with them and fight once more for my country. With this I say farewell, and God save the Queen!" Wintle gives a stiff salute as his body tips backwards off of the ship, falling stiffly into the ocean.
Lieutenant Colonel Alfred Daniel Wintle has died!Hernando Cortez gains confidence as the
H.O.E.S. are slaughtered and runs at
Admiral Waverider with renewed enthusiasm. (4 vs. 5) He nearly pierces the stallion in his neck, but the Admiral dodges swiftly (4 vs. 1) and slices into Cortez's Right Leg.
"Now to finish this ye' ass lickin' bastard!" (1 vs. 1-1) The sea-dog trips and falls down. Cortez sees this as an opportunity to finish off the pony and he charges. As he raises his spear for a deadly blow, he trips on the admiral's dropped hatchet. He stumbles overboard.
"NOOOOOOOOOO- Well at least maybe I could get gold in Atlanti-" He hits the water with a big splash and sinks rapidly. The boat is quite for a moment as Waverider brushes himself and stands back up. There is more silence.....
"Victory!" The Lunar crew roars with victory.
