It had to happen
~Snowfire


"Captain! Off the port bow!"

Recently recruited lad Dart was yelling down from the crow's nest like crazy to Gilder on the Claudia.

Fina handed Aika the telescope, which she then put to her eye. "It's... the Falcon? With that perverted prince of Eblan at its head... almost as bad as Vigoro, him. But the black-clad others...?"

"...Ninjas," Vyse stated with an air of finality. "Battle stations."

Nets were already quietly descending, as the silent assassins came at their ancient enemy. The other pirates of the DL came out to prepare, weapons drawn...
  • Edge, Shadow, Yuffie, Frank, an FFT ninja... what could possibly stop the DL Ninjas and their real ultimate power?
  • The Sky Pirates ruthlessly pillage, rob, and humiliate these laughable excuses for roguery.

A flashing blade.

A glint of light.

And then all was still.

"...Edge, why'n the hell did you..." Yuffie trailed off, shaking her head. "Man, that's just cold."

"Pirates never have the right to challenge the mighty art of the ninja." Edge said solemnly, serious for a change.

"...even to me, this is an atrocity." Shadow shook his head, seconded by the generic Ninja.

"AHAHAHAHAHA! Old FRANK is here, saving the day for NINJAS EVERYWHERE! My BRAZEELIAN NINJA ARTS are too much for you foolish pirates!" Frank cried, rushing away from Vyse's body, as he single-handedly bludgeoned and smashed his way through the ranks of the pirates.

"...seriously, did we have to status all of them out? Couldn't we have given them some chance? I mean, this is just...so...wrong." Yuffie shook her head, as Frank single-handedly and slowly killed paralyzed and sleeping pirates.

"Never." Edge repeated grimly.

Ninjas: 32
Pirates: 25

Gatewalker
Alright, let's break this down.

The ninjas have Edge(awesome), Shadow(pretty cool), Yuffie(awesome), Frank(...counts against them...) and an FFT Ninja(awesome, but generic).

The pirates have Vyse(awesome), Aika(pretty cool), Gilder(awesome), Fina(...counts against them...) and Drachma(awesome UOM).

So that's 3.5 awesomes for the ninjas...minus Frank. And 3.5 awesomes for the pirates...minus Fina. So this battle comes down to the Generic factor of the FFT ninja vs the UOMness of Drachma.

And come on now, is that really even a question?

Pyro
Vyse is an accomplished leader with a plethora of victories to his name. In short, he is competent.

Edge is the prince of a devastated land whose biggest point of interest is charging head-first at a mighty Fiend that could have roasted him effortlessly.

Arr matey. Arr.

Tylor H
An ninjas, fast, graceful, lethal. Sure they're generally frail, but what kind of pirate could possibly survive long enough in order to take advantage of that.

Pirates with Delta Shield seem to be a good answer.

One physical immune round later, and the Blue Rogues are well on their way to another sound victory.

Lance
I say the pirates win simply because I like the word "roguery."
