The admiral glared down onto the beach. The King of Night had sent an underling to attack the fleet from the shore, but he hardly looked imposing.
"Get down here you worms! I, Vile, will anihalate all of you!" the puny, pale-skinned man screamed up at the crew. His sickly appearance and greasy, black hair made him look puny indeed.
The admiral looked back onto the deck.
"One of you mind handling this guy?"

"Is this kid for real?" Kuro inquired icily, cocking her head to one side with a raised brow. "I'm shaking in my boots, oh dear." She took a step towards the bow, on furry bootless feet and gripped the rail.
"I guess I can abide to your request," she said jovially, removing and loading her pistol from it's holder in one smooth motion and leveling at the strange pale man. "Any objections? No? Need we keep him for interrogation? No? Yes? Let's see."
She held his rage-warped face in her sights for a moment, then lowered the pistol and fired. The resulting sound was echoed by a more muted crack as the bullet drove home into Vile's right kneecap, prompty shattering it.
She glanced back at the Admiral and tilted her head inquisitively. "Did you want him dead? With a name like 'Vile' he can't be good for the gene pool.."

"Excelent shot, my dear, but try to make the enxt one lethal. As a minion of Night, he's far too dangerous to leave alive. That and his screaming is getting on my nerves."
Meanwhile, on shore, Vile was standing on his one good leg while his wailed angrilly.
"b***h got my leg! Don't you understand!? I am the great Vile! Slayer of nations! You can't possibly hope to kill me!" he began to shamble slowly towards the boat.

The shot roused the gunslinger from his siesta between a pair of cannons on the lower decks. His hands flew like greased lightning, the pair of huge revolvers he wore on his hips becoming an extension of his hands in an instant.
"Aw, dammit!" He grumbled as he bolted for the ladder to the upper deck, his hat falling back to reveal his short, green hair. He usually didn't grow his hair out on the seas, it wasn't very easy to keep up with. His scarred visage was rugged with green stubble from three days a-gone with no razor.
He burst from the trap in a full sprint, joining the admiral with a his revolvers raised, arms bent at the elbow. His large calibers rested their hammers on his shoulders.
"The Nine Hells, Admiral!?"

Her lips curved into a smirk as she cocked the gun for another shot. "As you wish, Admiral. Of course we could always gag him. Truss him up. I ran out of chew toys." Her grin widened, portraying a mouth full of elegantly sharp teeth. "Ah well..no loss I suppose. I wonder what nations he's slayed?" she pondered, aligning the barrel to the man's head. "He probably crushed ant hills when he was a kid."
She pulled the trigger, a resounding crack echoing through the air once more. This one, like its predecessor, hit home as well.
She relaxed her gun arm and turned to the crew in time to see Xio, and grinned roguishly. "'Bout time the steadfast gunslinger awakes. You're late. I had to take care of it." She nodded towards the figure on the shore, amused.

"Ughah! Ah-ack" The sound escaped Vile's mouth as the bullet pierced his skull. He then promptly his the ground.
"That wasn't so bad. He was clearly more bark than bite." the admiral chortled. His face then grew serious as he spied Vile's body. Green fumes spewed forth from it at an alarming rate. In addition, the water near his body began to grow dark green as well, spreading rapidly from his body. The ship was very rapidly enveloped in the fumes, as they spread out wildly.
Adamska raised his arm as he noticed he'd reverted back to a vampire due to the fumes blocking out the sun.
"Gah! Poison! It's a trap!" he covered his mouth for a moment before slowly lowering his hand.
"Er...or...not?" he added after noticing a lack of an effect.
The green smog cleared after a time and everything returned to normal. The water and skies were their normal blue again. Nobody was sure what just happened.

He Watched everything go down. He was standing on the mast looking down at it all."poor kid never even stood a chance..." He looked down at Adamska and Xio. " I guess you ladies are having a grand time down there, care if I join?" He jumped down from the mast using his wings to stableize himself as he landed." I guess Kuro got to have a little fun?" He watched the green fumes arize from the shore." Aw What Now?!" He then covered his mouth without hearing adamska, but when is disopated he uncovered his mouth and looked to the crew " The Hell was that? "

When the green mist cleared, a body lay on the beach a little ways from the ship. It was face down, and was indeterminable if the figure was alive or dead. its face was turned away from their direction, small wings lay flat against a naked back. The long black tail lay slightly curled to the side of the motionless form. For all they knew, this person was dead.
Kraze dozed in the sand, enjoying the feel of the heated grains beneath her bare skin. She had removed her top to get some lineless tanning in, but left her bottom on, in case she had to get up in a hurry. She gave a soft purr, remaining completely motionless and unaware of the previous goings-on. She was a heavy sleeper.

Adamska peered out at the beach, first at Vile's crumpled body, then at the beautiful one laying face down a ways a way. He rubbed his chin a moment before climbing up onto the railing.
"I'd recognize those curvatious features anywhere!" the admiral spoke mostly to himself before hopping down off of his flagship and hitting the sand with a thud. He hastily ran in her direction, worried about her safety.
"Miss Sunila, are you alright!?"

Ignoring the benign teasing of Kuro's words, he shrugged her off and then spied the Admiral's object of attention. "Aye, so it is Kraze." He grabbed a rope, cigarette resting between his lips, and climbed hastily to the sand below. His boots produced a dull thump at each step, his feet sinking slightly. He held his balance, though, and had almost made it to the dralu-fein when he collapsed, the world spinning out from beneath him. A moment later, he was on his knees, having broken a sudden cold sweat. He trembled and felt as if he might wretch. "Ugh..."

Rosalie remained in her cabin until the commotion was over. The gunshots had caught her attention and frightened her into staying put; not only that, but it was mostly men on deck. She awaited to hear feet stomp off the boat before getting curious enough to march up to the main deck. She could see Miss Kuro, Sir Sion and arrived just in time to notice Mister Xionis' duster flutter off board. "Hullo," she called as she reached the railing. "Who's... that down there," pointing at the corpse, "and why is Mister Xionis hurt? What happened?" she finished, gazing out towards the crouched gunslinger.

Kraze lifted her head sleepily, looking first to the worried Admiral, then to Xionis. She blinked a moment, confused, until she came to the realization of their train of thought. Suppressing a giggle, she gave a small grin.
"My heroes~" she chuckled, propping herself up on her forearms, her naked bosom barely covered. "I was merely taking a...nap~"

The admiral heaved a sigh.
"Thank goodness. It seems those fumes were innocuous after all." he turned to look at the crumpled Xio.
"Hey Xionis, what gives? Did you land too hard or something?" he spoke, eyeing the gunslinger funny.

The gunslinger was unable to speak, feeling like he was about to give up everything he'd ever eaten in his life. He attempted to stand, then collapsed again, the world leaving him once more. This time, when he hit the sand, he passed out entirely. His mind went black, falling inward upon itself. He thought vaguely of how Kraze would react if he died, then everything was gone. Later, he would remember this as the strangest moment in his life, floating somewhere between life and death.

"Mister McCloud?" Adamska spoke, approachng his collapsed body.
"He's burning up, someone get a doctor!"
The remaining events of that day went by quickly. As Xionis was hurried off to the hospital, news got loose that human beings all over the world were growing ill and dying. The casualties neared the millions. After a week and a day, investigators finally tracked down the source of the plague. One dying witness claimed to see the Adventure Fleet shoot a man, shortly thereafter, the notorious green fog that carried the plague as swiftly as it did spewed from the victim's body.
At first, the Adventure Fleet were held to blame. Through negotiation, Admiral Adamska Glazunov was able to convince the public that his crew was unaware of Vile's powers.
This victory was short-lived, however, as the public eye shifted from the Adventure Fleet to the many Inhuman races as a whole.
Humans everywhere were calling for retribution. The world's leaders, in an attempt to prevent a holocaust, brought the Inhuman Registration Act into effect, stating that each sentient being born into the world or brought to earth would be required to register their information with the government, so that beings with overwhelming powers could be monitored for the safety of others. Many Inhumans opposed the act, claiming it to be a direct attack on their right to privacy. The admiral, still trying to cover up the Fleet's involvement with the "Vile Incident", sided with the Registration, lending his ability to the government in order to help bring about a quick end to any opposition. By the end of the third week after the Vile Contagion had been released, two clear sides were forming, slowly moving towards violent conflict over the Inhuman Registration Act.
"Resisting against such a large force...they can't hope to win. Inhumans will be better off registering, if only for their own safety." the admiral announced, looking for support from the fleet. He'd called the fleet together to discuss everything that had transpired. He paced nervously across the top deck, glancing from face to face. He hoped dearly that the rest of his fleet would see his way.
