Yanmei #16
Caleuche’s attack had been his last. Guard wide open, Teazer’s very own first mate found himself at the mercy of John’s own cutlass — a mercy that was so very short lived. First, chilling steel found its way into his flesh, followed quickly by the heat of his own blood and searing pain as synapses fired. After that, coldness. Icy coldness as his body fell to the deck and, with that coldness, he uttered one last thing.“Then… Good luck… On the Grand Line…”
Thwack…! Yanmei struck the Captain once again, this time with a rather unorthodox blow — a headbutt delivered square to the bridge of the mammoth of a man’s nose. However, it was she who bounced back, even if it did make Teazer stagger and clutch his face in pain as his opponent landed upon the deck. Uneven planks groaned from the landing, further threatening to splinter under the stresses of combat now that their stability had been shaken by previous cleaving blows. For a second, Mei was fine, rubbing her crown after the collision with her foe’s face.
Fortunately, there wasn’t much to rattle.“You still alive?”“Yep,” she chirped:
“This guy’s tough, though!”“Caleuche…? Grrr…!”
“He’s too strong for me to just block his attacks…! I need to take him out in one last punch, but his sword keeps getting in the way,” Miss Zhu explained, completely disregarding the fact that her enemy could hear her every word. What he didn’t realise was that Mei had previously kicked a loaded flintlock in John’s direction, which lay just a few feet from Caleuche’s motionless form. “Hey! John! Can you do something about that?” Despite her claim and query, if there was one thing the girl lacked, it was an actual plan. Everything was, unbeknownst to her, falling rather neatly into place.“Enough of your prattling,” Teazer bellowed:
“I’ll gut the both of you for your insolence…!”
Once more, the gaunt goliath rushed forwards, cutlass primed to cleave once more. As swiftly as she could manage, and with a single nod to John, Mei raised her own weapon and dashed into the fray anew. Metal met metal yet again, sparks scattered and quelled just as quickly, and the cutlass of Captain Teazer was pushed down as the martial artist jumped upwards, effectively vaulting from the blade. Again, he wasted no time in response, blade carving a chunk out of the timbers before rising into a guarding position to defend against the inevitable blow…{Post Synposis:}
As Caleuche is slain by John, Yanmei realises that her assaults are being guarded against by Teazer’s swordsmanship, requiring a little assistance from John to break through!
Notes: How you want to do it is up to you; I just wanted to choreograph the finisher!
