Chrysalis: "Full broadside, fire! FIRE!!!"





==But at that same instant:===





Lieutenant Anchor: "EVERYPONY TELEPORT NOW!!"





[The Blue-coated Royal Marines, by sheer chance, flash away in perfect sync with the Changeling broadside; the cannonballs tearing through the space they'd occupied just as they vanish.]





[When they arrive on the ship, some end up "topside", on the main deck. Others arrive in the gun deck, coughing and choking on powder-smoke along with their foes. A few even get tangled in the ropes overhead through a stroke of horrid luck.]





Captain Chyrsalis: "Clever, Shining, clever....ALL CREW, REPEL BOARDERS! Helmsman, get us away from the enemy ship before they can reload their cannons! Keep your distance if you can so Armor can't send more goons!"





[With that, the Queen-turned-pirate draws a pair of cutlasses, fitting the hilt of one through a pore on her foreleg, and holding the other with her tail. Then she dives into the fray of swords, bayonets, fangs, and muskets.]

[Chyrsalis' frigate swung towards the bigger Equestrian ship, making minute adjustments to present the smallest possible target to her foe until she pulled within broadside range. Near the apex of the starboard turn, the ship "levels out" into a straight line next to Shining's ship.]
