"Course there is! Always is! I hear that there're things to do, compatriots to meet, and a whole slew a' beasties ta hunt!" He palms the hand cannon at his belt. "I have an itch I need to scratch, and a plan as hot as these pants! Ha!" He begins laughing at his own joke. "Oh, and there's another one in here, and he's sitting in a corner crying something about insanity." The grin returns. "So point me in the right direction, and I'll show those beasties why my name's Flash! RAWR!"
He stops laughing, and sheepishly looks back at him. "Oh, and what was your name again? Terribly rude of me, sorry."
Darius chuckles and leans on his cane "Darius Marlow, Charmed I am sure." Darius smiles "Wel I am resting here, age caught up to me, you see. The others split into Some groups." Darius points down a cramped alleyway "Angelo, Mina and two of my animal companions went that way." Darius points to the broader road "That way is where the Priest Sammy and the Banker Basqueen went, together With Mina." Darius taps his cane "Nick, Remi and Mina used Some of Nicks Laders So wil be harder to follow. Albert and Zeal and Mina took a ship So I am not sure you could follow them. As those are all groups I can Remember, You could help Angelo and Mina or Sammy, Basqueen and Mina. Its up to you ser Flash."

"Well! Sounds like you lot have a thing for girls named Mina, eh? No, no. I don't judge." Matthias twists his mustache in thought. "Well, then...." He stops, twirls his mustache some more, pulls out a frighteningly high-caliber rifle, and poses. "The more the merrier, I say! See ya, Darry! I'm off to find those-three-you-said-but-I forgot-and-one-of-whom-is-called-Mina! Ta for now!"
He then ran towards the nearest ledge that could feasibly lead to his destination, taking a flying leap with a cry of "Huzzah!" and charging across the mad city with nary a care in the world.
I said I would update today, did not say I would update early
I am to tired for clever part names.
I am very tired so be sure to point out any stupidity in OOC or other mistakes.
Remi's fall accalerated some, but not enough to leave the distrotion field of the falling chicken man.
Not fast enough to escape the bomb, that is. "Need some help, old chap?"
That is...until Remi suddenly speeds up, allowing Nick to place the wall between them.
Remi is floated back down He is outside the gravityfield, shouldn't he fall?
Remi is hold by an invisible figure, all though Remi can see its see-through body. Its the ghost of a knight.
As Nick places his bomb, one of the three5pink things looks surpised, turns even more hazy and then is...gone. Just gone.
The other two are not as smart as their compatriot and get blown up. This is why you warp away from danger fellows.
Birb!Mina (@GuesssWho ) however, is also still there as the bomb goes off, there is a gravity wel near but if she doesn't react quickly, she wil be naught but ass. The collective wil live, but this mass wil die
As the bomb blows the flames reach Chickenstein and rip his body assunder, Remi protected and floating to safety getting carried bridal style by a ghost knight. Remi is the prettiest princess.
Chickenstein leds out a last, baleful cluck. iCLUCKwilCLUCKgetCLUCKyouCLUCKnextCLUCKtimeCLUCKPercival
The weaker armored man just stares. [OBEY][PANTHER][ORDER][PROTECT]
Mr.Morris jumps before the weaker armoured man with a blank look on his face, before screaming, horrified. [Attack]
Morris face goes blank again as he charges Mina.
He doesn't get far as a crossbow bolt pins his leg to the floor.
The masked man, the screaming Morris and Mina turn to the person who fired to bolt, seeing a fuzzy creature with spring like legs.
Chester, sitting on a crossbow with his tonque out. HI, nice woman-thing! You looked like you needed help!
Mina's acids splash at the dragonfly man's armour, who quickly throws up a shield. Its hazy, the projectors got damaged by the acid and are quickly breaking.
Boosters appear on dragon fly man's leg as he charges at Mina, grabs her and suplexes the hyrda into the gold.
Mina has just enough time to recover to see the dragon-fly man grab a golden claymore from the gold pile and charge at Mina with his boosters. Mina wrecked all the weapon systems in his arms and he is not sure if his connectors wil make the weapons stored in his chest work. He IS able to heat up the sword, as that system is undamaged, for now.
Most of Dragonfly's arm-installed weapon systems are destroyed.
The shadowy man activates the boosters in his legs and jumps backwards before a pair of wings sprout from his back, along with a jetpack.
He flies upwards while spraying acid downwards, trying to catch Mina with the acid while flying high above her.
He is having trouble.
...
Huh, he has wings like a dragonfly, who would have thought?
With Angelo are Typhon and Vulkani.
Vulkani GIGGELS and grabs angelos back, Angelo is not harmed by the flames however.
As they have retracted leaving Vulkani's clay body visible accepts for its back, where they have formed into a pair of flaming bat wings.
Vulkani beats his wings, letting Angelo fly towards Deadly Dragonfly and Mina.
Typhon holds onto Angelos right leg, ruining the leg in its panic. @munchkinomatic
Mines explode around Mina, but she skillfully dodges.
As she touches to boat however, her skin melts. Out-gambitted trigger.
Captain Cavern laughs

Captain cavern fires his cannons into Mina's body and/or towards the boat with Zeal and Albert.

The boat shakes, as cannons from the shore start to fire on the ship.
Most miss, but you get the feeling the ship won't last for long.
Not long at all.
The cannon fire ceases, leaving the ship batterd, allowing a group of smaller gunship to approach you're batterd little boat.
Its filled with survy clockwork pirates, these men mean business.
They are right on the clock too!
@CyanDies@argelbargel
You two swagger down the broad road in a way only a fat toad and priest can.
Mid way however, the shadows part as a figure charges out you.
It is read, with a large horned skull brandishing a demonic looking blade.
It screams at the top of its lungs "BLOOD FOR THE BLOODGOD! SKULLS FOR THE SKULLTHRONE!"
After that charming recital the demon looking motherfucker charges at you two. There are other four bloodletters hidding amoungst the shadow choas, ready for a suprise attack
"Well! Sounds like you lot have a thing for girls named Mina, eh? No, no. I don't judge." Matthias twists his mustache in thought. "Well, then...." He stops, twirls his mustache some more, pulls out a frighteningly high-caliber rifle, and poses. "The more the merrier, I say! See ya, Darry! I'm off to find those-three-you-said-but-I forgot-and-one-of-whom-is-called-Mina! Ta for now!"
He then ran towards the nearest ledge that could feasibly lead to his destination, taking a flying leap with a cry of "Huzzah!" and charging across the mad city with nary a care in the world.
The demon stalks forward towards Basqueen and Sam...until all three7combatent are blinded by a large flash.
Standing there, between the demon, the priest and the frog (and Mina!Cat) is a man with an impecible outfit, a half cape and a mustache that could make people faint from a look. One of the hidden demons DOES faint
Nobody knows who this man is and where he came from, but lord, isn't he dashing.
Thats how he came here afteral!
Dashing...
Oh for crying out loud, look at this idiocy. Oh, and some deaths.
All the Minas flinch, then growl with rage as connections sever. The hydra begins to sing, snake heads joined by everything from hyenas to crows to humans in a madly laughing forest of necks. The spider has far too many legs, all tipped with lethal spikes. The cat is suddenly a full-grown tiger and show no sign of slowing down.

Ugh. Why did I bother? This was a terrible idea....
"Ha! Nothing's a bad idea with Flash here, kiddo!"
He checks the chamber of his rifle, aims at the demon that's looking at him, and raises an eyebrow.
"Looks like you had a nice sword there, Horny. You sure you weren't trying ta make up the difference? I mean, I get that the intimidation factor's a thing, but sometimes it goes too far and becomes obvious that you're covering some sorta handicap." He grimaces. "Sorry ta hear that, Horny. I'll be sure ta give you a place of honor on my wall." He pulled the trigger, his eye straying towards something behind him. Then...
"OOH! A big cat!" He barely even noticed the gun go off, still aimed at the demon. "Been a while since I went big-game hunting! Last time was in Ixixshacolotl, and I only remember that 'cause the librarian was great conversation!" He grinned, starting to pull out a boot knife as long as his forearm, before thinking better and bringing up a fist. "Wonderful gal. Pretty too, but I didn't impose. Ah, well. time to see if this is better." He glanced back briefly, not even registering if the demon was still standing. "Come on, kitty, let's see if those stripes are just for show. RAWR!" He beat one hand against his chest as he slung his rifle back around his shoulder. Looking past the tiger, he sees two others, one in garments and the other resembling a large toad.
"Sorry for arriving unannounced and flashing ya, but I heard that there were some folks around here I'm gonna be working with! You wouldn't happen to know a 'Samantha' or a 'Shirley' or something, would ya?"
"A talking big cat. Huh. Never seen that before. And you're a girl?" He scratches his temple. "Didn't see that one. Guess you're... Well, unless that one in the clerical getup's a girl and isn't named Shirley, I guess you're one of the Minas?"
He shrugs.
"Okay then, partner." Turning, he pulls out the knife. "Let's see if ol' Horny is good for a trophy." He flipped the blade in his hand as he walked towards the demon.
Matthias halts for a second. He raises a finger. Then he lowers a finger. Then he just shrugs, which seems to be his default response to confusion.
"Must make you fun at parties." Flipping the knife, he turns back to the demon. "But we'll talk more after I get this." He goes to finish off the demon and get a trophy.

Typhon holds onto Angelos right leg, ruining the leg in its panic. @munchkinomatic
Angelo winced in pain, even as he was unable to grab his leg due to his body being carried. His legs weren't designed to carry people that tried to grip it! Don't worry, you'll be fine! You've suffered worse! I attempt to encourage Angelo.
"Not helping!" he cries. Look, Angelo, we're already going towards the conflict zone! We'll be alright!
Angelo looks toward the fight between the dragonfly person and Mina. "Well, for you maybe. But I wanted to get out of this situation!" You'll be fine. It's not like you have to do hand to hand combat. Use your laser blasts on the dragonfly or something!
"Oh I would, if- aagh! I wasn't occupied by my dead leg!"
They continue to argue the rest of the way.
Zeal and Alberts oddessy
Seasnek!Mina jumps into the water while Albert and Zeal fatherfall onto a boat.
The boat is ferried by a dancing skeleton
...
Neat.
He pushes your board towards one of the water falls.
The boat *tilts* and now rides the water fall.
You are now on a zigzag-river.
Then it become straight.
And larger.
Way, way larger.
You are in a cave now, the only things the same are the two water falls (the one going downwards behind you and the one going upwards infront of you) beyond them the rest of the outer-city is visible.
As the rest of the world is now turned into a cove.
A large metal ship bobbs ahead of you and you hear a voice echo:

He's speaking Zalgo and sings shitty pirate shanties, that's about all I know.
"Great! Can I switch God? Asking for a friend." Zeal muttered as she switcheroo for magic missiles and started sending sparkling homing bolts toward Captain Cove. "Mine-I mean her's fucking useless."
After a couple of seconds had passed, Nick respawns and hurries back to the scene of the explosion, easily locate-able by the rising pillar of smoke and dust. When he arrives, he looks at the crater with shock. "That... was bigger than I expected." After a few more seconds spent gaping, he gathers himself and begins looking for Mina and/or Remi.
Ugh. Why did I bother? This was a terrible idea....
"Ha! Nothing's a bad idea with Flash here, kiddo!"
He checks the chamber of his rifle, aims at the demon that's looking at him, and raises an eyebrow.

@CyanDies@argelbargel FLASH (featering: That priestly fellow, a toad, a tiger named Mina)
The bloodletter charges forward, only to get mauled by Tiger!Mina and stabbed to death by flash. However, they are soon surounded by the other three blood letters that were laying in wake. The fourth bloodletter is STILL knocked out from how sexy Flashhart is.
There is a flapping of wings and a larger demon slams into Tiger Mina (however, as its merely physical force it doesn't even hurt. Its just annoying).
The Bloodthrister smiles and rumbles "All these tactics were boring me, lesser-god-touched. I have decided to join in the FUN"
The Deamon laughs and charges at Basqueen
Angelo winced in pain, even as he was unable to grab his leg due to his body being carried. His legs weren't designed to carry people that tried to grip it! Don't worry, you'll be fine! You've suffered worse! I attempt to encourage Angelo.

They continue to argue the rest of the way.
Angelo, Mina and the Pets!
Vulkani flies Angelo up to the roof. Typhon jumps of and hugs the monsterous multilimbed Mina Spider with a happy sound.
Poor thing was very scared.
Vulkani laughs and his wings change, the clay alpaca now almost looks like a jet-pack. [Temporary control transfer...][Lizard Knight >>> Nucleep]
Angelo feels a better control of the odd clay-alpaca-flame-jet-pack strapped to his back.
Mina swipes at the Deadly Dragon fly but the fuckers is using his wings and jet pack to fly and carpet bomb Mina with acid.
He clearly has no intention to get closer to the mass of claws and stabbing-things that is Mina.
And can you blame him?
After a couple of seconds had passed, Nick respawns and hurries back to the scene of the explosion, easily locate-able by the rising pillar of smoke and dust. When he arrives, he looks at the crater with shock. "That... was bigger than I expected." After a few more seconds spent gaping, he gathers himself and begins looking for Mina and/or Remi.
Nick, The Guy (In training)
Nick reconfigures a couple of bridges back.
Being blown apart is not a nice experience (Mina wil probally agree to that).
As Nick walks along the bridges, retracing his steps, he sees a sharp flare in the distance.
...is that?
A set of binoculars later Nick can confirm that, yes, that is Angelo with Darius weird Alpaca on his back like a Jet pack.
There is also a large spider (probally Mina?) and some other figure they appear to be fighting.
Nick guesses that getting to wherever Remi is wil take as much walking (and some searching to see where the old man landed) OR he could go help Angelo and MIna. The other four (yes, four) wraiths survived and teleported away. Two of them are stalking Masked and the other two are stalking Nick, from a considerable distance so Nicks 3D view can't see them.
He's speaking Zalgo and sings shitty pirate shanties, that's about all I know.
"Great! Can I switch God? Asking for a friend." Zeal muttered as she switcheroo for magic missiles and started sending sparkling homing bolts toward Captain Cove. "Mine-I mean her's fucking useless."
Albert and Zeal's Magic voyage
Albert and Zeal feels an odd...trum to their magic. They can feel it coursing through them before pettering out.
Albert floats a bit upwards before hitting the deck, the fire in his hand dissapating while Zeals magic missles disolve into sparkels. Out-gambitted trigger: Captain Cavern covered the rivers bottom with anti magic nodes. These need to be destroyed, as they block magic from D&D, Pathfinder, Magic the Gathering and Warcraft. Other franchises are fairplay but a little weakend
Captain Cavern laughs. "Y҉où u͜sed ̸M̡aǵi͜c͟ ͡la͡s͞t̶ ́ti̡me,̨ A͜lb͠e̛r͡t. D̛o ̴y̡o̡u ̢r̢eàl̶ly͏ think͝ I ̸w̧o̶uld͠ ̸fa͜l҉l ͏f̕or t͢h̵a̷t̢ TW͢I͜CE̸?͘ ̡Doǹ't̴ ̢i͜nsul͏t͟ me͢! ̢A͡ǹd ̕OH!

Mina tightens her couls to try and capsize the ship, but her body is still burning away! Not only that, but the ships masts bend a little, allowing the lazer cannons on top to scrape bits of Mina! She has little time to react as she is cut in four large chunks. The ships shakes, throwing the four chunks into the water. "R̨ea͠l͝ly͞,̛ Mìna͠ ̡d͞e̕ar̀?

He doesn't know about the new abilities the bound have gained since last time. Like the Mina hivemind. Nor does he know about Zeals...anything.
The clockwork boats stop near the batterd vessel with Albert and Zeal, klanking and kliking clockwork pirates jumping the ship and charges at the magical duo. The lead-pirate in a nice uniform with a wire beard yells"YAR-HAR-HAR me harties! Slay these landlubbers fer the Cap'n!" at his command, the other clockwork crew klink and klank in affirmation and charge! This pirant is the only one with a functional mind. The others are puppets controlled by the captain but last time, Cavern got overwhelmed and couldn't command his crew effectivly. To remedy that, he now has minor-captains working for him with minds of their own. Ofcourse, without them the other pirates are mindless. That and their loyalty is not perfect.
Under the Mansion
Deadly Dragonfly ignores the fact that the Hybrid as turned into an abyssal horror devoid of sanity.
He does NOT ignore the fact that Mina stopped shooting acid and is captilizes on that by shooting forwards and kicking the Hydra in the chest, activating his boosters to burn away Parts of mina's flesh and flying backwards to dodge a counter attack. Then the fuck sprouds wings and flies upwards, clearly looking for another angle of attack.
FLASH (featering: That priestly fellow, a toad, a tiger named Mina)
The bloodletter charges forward, only to get mauled by Tiger!Mina and stabbed to death by flash. However, they are soon surounded by the other three blood letters that were laying in wake. The fourth bloodletter is STILL knocked out from how sexy Flashhart is.

The Deamon laughs and charges at Basqueen
"Ah, now this is what I signed up for!" Matthias pulls out his pistol, flipping the knife in his right hand. Firing once at each of the conscious bloodletters (aiming for the head), he turns and looses the remaining bullets in the chamber at the larger demon, before stabbing at any of the smaller ones still standing. "Taking on a big beastie is nice and all, but sometimes bringing down the little guys is smarter. Harder for 'em to catch you outnumbered, see. The only time I like being outnumbered is when it's by books! Or tools. And sometimes people. I do so love having a nice talk with fellow intellectuals."
Remind me why I even waited for this. Your mind is a labyrinth of delusions and mad ramblings...
"Now that's not very polite to say about your host, sir."
Captain Cavern laughs. "Y҉où u͜sed ̸M̡aǵi͜c͟ ͡la͡s͞t̶ ́ti̡me,̨ A͜lb͠e̛r͡t. D̛o ̴y̡o̡u ̢r̢eàl̶ly͏ think͝ I ̸w̧o̶uld͠ ̸fa͜l҉l ͏f̕or t͢h̵a̷t̢ TW͢I͜CE̸?͘ ̡Doǹ't̴ ̢i͜nsul͏t͟ me͢! ̢A͡ǹd ̕OH!

Mina tightens her couls to try and capsize the ship, but her body is still burning away! Not only that, but the ships masts bend a little, allowing the lazer cannons on top to scrape bits of Mina! She has little time to react as she is cut in four large chunks. The ships shakes, throwing the four chunks into the water. "R̨ea͠l͝ly͞,̛ Mìna͠ ̡d͞e̕ar̀? H́ow̧ s̨tu͠pi̸d̸ d͜o͏ you̢ t͡h̢ink͢ ́I̡ a͘m?͏ I k͞n͠o͘w ͘a͘l̴l ̵y͞o͞u'͝r͜ę t͞r̛icks̴ f͏r̶òm̀ ̶l̡ast̴ t̀ime,͞ ̶şha͡pes͞hi͜ft̕e͡r! ̢Y̸a͠rhar̷h̨ar̨!͜" Captain Cavern has rememberd everything used against him last time and is adapting to it. He doesn't know about the new abilities the bound have gained since last time. Like the Mina hivemind. Nor does he know about Zeals...anything.
The clockwork boats stop near the batterd vessel with Albert and Zeal, klanking and kliking clockwork pirates jumping the ship and charges at the magical duo. The lead-pirate in a nice uniform with a wire beard yells"YAR-HAR-HAR me harties! Slay these landlubbers fer the Cap'n!" at his command, the other clockwork crew klink and klank in affirmation and charge! This pirant is the only one with a functional mind. The others are puppets controlled by the captain but last time, Cavern got overwhelmed and couldn't command his crew effectivly. To remedy that, he now has minor-captains working for him with minds of their own. Ofcourse, without them the other pirates are mindless. That and their loyalty is not perfect.
No, that's a red herring. I read his infosheet. He's immune to plans and gambits. We need to move around that.
...Isn't using meta information would make me go poof, with my current balance?
I'll piece you together or something. Who care!?
I feel like I should.
Zeal huffed and turned his eyes to the pirate captain and his clockworks henchmen. A sudden idea started forming in her head. If he's immune to plans, she's just gonna have to take him down with a not-plan.
"Okay guys. Fucker got mini-captains helping him with herding the flock." She relayed the information. "Also, he's supposedly immune to strategy. So I'mma do this by ear now!"
Pulling her power into herself again, Zeal let the eldritch tendril flow freely into the voids of worlds instead of directing them. Captain Cove couldn't counter her plan if she didn't have one, and what better way to not have a plan then to not know what you're even doing.
With a laugh, she charged toward him as the divine roulette spun.
Zeal tries to throw a punch, but having ZERO combat training means she very clearly telegraphs.
So clearly the lesser-captain can see it and inform his clockwork crewman to dodge and counter, punching Zeal in the gut.
While she is doubled over, she is surounded by clockwork crew who are trying to cut her to pieces with their scimitars.
Lazer scimitars, because OFCOURSE they have lazer scimitars.
Nick, The Guy (In training)
Nick reconfigures a couple of bridges back.
Being blown apart is not a nice experience (Mina wil probally agree to that).
As Nick walks along the bridges, retracing his steps, he sees a sharp flare in the distance.
...is that?
A set of binoculars later Nick can confirm that, yes, that is Angelo with Darius weird Alpaca on his back like a Jet pack.
There is also a large spider (probally Mina?) and some other figure they appear to be fighting.
Nick guesses that getting to wherever Remi is wil take as much walking (and some searching to see where the old man landed) OR he could go help Angelo and MIna. The other four (yes, four) wraiths survived and teleported away. Two of them are stalking Masked and the other two are stalking Nick, from a considerable distance so Nicks 3D view can't see them.
Nick has never been the best at staying focused on a task, so Remi is completely forgotten as he ponders how to best help out in the fight against the airborn foe. Then he remembers the humble flak cannon, explicitly designed for such an endeavor. So, he takes a few seconds to design one.
Half a minute later, he had a passable design, it would probably break down within a hundred shots, but that will do. It even has some basic autotargeting systems.
He turned his attention back towards to battle, raised his hand and snapped, making a gun shape, copy and pasting a few dozen instances of the emplacement. "Ready!"
He pointed his gun finger at his target, squishing the space between them while expanding the space between him and his allies, the turrets turning in unison to aim at the flying foe. "Aim!"
With a eager smile he shouted the command "Fire!" as thunder filled the air, hundreds of explosive shells flying towards their target, set to explode mid-air even if they miss in hope of hitting him with the shrapnel.

Deadly Dragonfly sees his query getting pushed away from him, while he is attacked by a wall of schrapnel.
There is not way he can dodge this.
So he doesn't.
He retracts his wings and activates his emergency cocoon, covering his entire body with a forcefield.
The forcefield blocks all the damage!
...and Dragonfly plummets to the ground, breaking through the building roof and landing somewhere in its basement.
The man deactivated his wings mid-air, afteral.
That and while the cocoon blocks any damage, it also stops all his movements aswel.
So he is currenlty stuck until he deactivates the cocoon.
Nick, Angelo and Mina have a short moment before Dragonfly can deactivate the cocoon.
(It wil also take a while to recharge, like probally most of the fight).
The bloodletter charges forward, only to get mauled by Tiger!Mina and stabbed to death by flash. However, they are soon surounded by the other three blood letters that were laying in wake. The fourth bloodletter is STILL knocked out from how sexy Flashhart is.
There is a flapping of wings and a larger demon slams into Tiger Mina (however, as its merely physical force it doesn't even hurt. Its just annoying).
The Bloodthrister smiles and rumbles "All these tactics were boring me, lesser-god-touched. I have decided to join in the FUN"
The Deamon laughs and charges at Basqueen
Mina swipes at the Deadly Dragon fly but the fuckers is using his wings and jetpack to fly and carpet bomb Mina with acid.
He clearly has no intention to get closer to the mass of claws and stabbing-things that is Mina.
And can you blame him?
Mina tightens her couls to try and capsize the ship, but her body is still burning away! Not only that, but the ships masts bend a little, allowing the laser cannons on top to scrape bits of Mina! She has little time to react as she is cut in four large chunks. The ships shakes, throwing the four chunks into the water. "R̨ea͠l͝ly͞,̛ Mìna͠ ̡d͞e̕ar̀? H́ow̧ s̨tu͠pi̸d̸ d͜o͏ you̢ t͡h̢ink͢ ́I̡ a͘m?͏ I k͞n͠o͘w ͘a͘l̴l ̵y͞o͞u'͝r͜ę t͞r̛icks̴ f͏r̶òm̀ ̶l̡ast̴ t̀ime,͞ ̶şha͡pes͞hi͜ft̕e͡r! ̢Y̸a͠rhar̷h̨ar̨!͜"
The pieces writhe for a moment, then snap back together, reconnecting like nothing happened. Mina laughs crazily, then brings her tail across to break the mainmast.
Deadly Dragonfly ignores the fact that the Hybrid as turned into an abyssal horror devoid of sanity.
He does NOT ignore the fact that Mina stopped shooting acid and capitalizes on that by shooting forwards and kicking the Hydra in the chest, activating his boosters to burn away Parts of mina's flesh and flying backwards to dodge a counter attack. Then the fuck sprouts wings and flies upwards, clearly looking for another angle of attack.
"I'm totally insulting you. Eat more magic!" Albert answered, customizing Mage: The Ascension's magic system for rapid disassembly of the clockwork captains. Simultaenously, he invokes the Armor Piercing Attack trope.
(Matter 3; Alter Form - Destroy Structure, rapid disassembly.)
Zeal slumped to the ground like a stringless puppet, clutching her stomach.
"Ow... I think this is a bad plan."
That mean it's a good not-plan! Quick, use the Force!
"Using the Force!" Zeal reached in to her ever shifting pool of power, getting a feel for what lies within. It was... a remarkably simple tool, all thing considered, even if she had no idea what the tool was. With a grunt, she pulled that power out into her hand and took a blind swipe at the pirate bot the knocked her down.

Mina's tail snaps out and hits the mast...which moves with the movement lessening some of the damage.
Captain Cavern angels his cannons and opens fire into MIna's Mass, expoding and lessening some of her mass.
The ship then shakes her off "Yo̢u ̀re̡a͟ll͘y ̶do̢n̶'̡t ͘l̶e̶a͠rn͠ ýou̡'r͢e̢ ļés̡s̀o͜n͜,̷ d͜ó y͞ou͜,͡ M͘i̶n̨a̢?"

Meanwhile, on the batterd vessel, Zeal lashes out at a nearby pirate, cutting him to bits with telekentic blades.
That is when Albert releases his spell and all the clanking crew quickly dissolve!
All, except for the lesser captain. His meta-soul protecting him...somehow.
The lesser captain charges at Albert and tries to cut into him, but Albert is able to keep him slightly at bay with his staff and minor physical training.
Even then, the captain still has his pistol and lazer-scimmitar, putting enough pressure that it is hard for Albert to concetrate.
He seems to be ignoring Zeal, however.
A second Minor captains crew boards the ship aswel. The wire bearded captain yells "Get out of here, cog-stache! This is my fight!"
The captain, who does have a mustache made out of cogs, cuckles. "You seem to be having trouble, wire-beard. Let me deal with it."
Cog-stache and his crew charge at Zeal.

No, not really. The big man called. You get to cut thing up with TK blades now.
Zeal didn't get to voice any complaint as the crew of murderous clockwork pirates charged at her. With a sound half-way between a girlish scream and a battlecry, she started slicing away at them with unseen blades while her legs rapidly backpedaled
