Besides being ignored after questioning the contents if the truck Blake also gained some insight as to what might this mission entail. He walked up to the man Zoey directed him two, finding an odd child clad in frills. Towering over her, Blake hung his off the curve of his bo. Clasped in in both hands, he introduced himself to the man in charge of registry. Now I don't wanna talk about someone behind their back, but that lady back their tried to castrate me. The name's Blake, your boss is crazy man. He'd say with an outstretched hand. By the way who's the kid?
(I said I would wait until Sunday to give our final member a chance to post but I haven't heard back from her. So we are now officially started. Btw important parts of the story will be posted in a document posting style.)
Since the long awaited cargo arrived it was now time for the crew to set sail. Humphrey was completely startled by the rabbit. In fact, he nearly leapt out of his skin when the creature spoke to him. Once Humphrey managed to collect himself he jotted down some information about Charlie onto his note pad. Humphrey was impressed when he heard that, Charlie was a DWMA graduate. A lot of money went into this mission and Humphrey was relieved that the money was being well spent.
After gathering the information from Charlie, Humphrey was approached by the young lady that introduced herself as Fleur DeValentine. Unlike Zoey, Humphrey was not skeptical of the young lady. He was honestly glad for any help he could get. Turing to a fresh page on his clipboard, Humphrey took some notes down on Fleur. He asked her the standard questions that he asked all of the hired help.
Once Humphrey finished registering Fleur, he was approached by the final Dwma student that seemed to immediately get on Zoey's bad side. The young man went by the name of Blake Crawler, which Humphrey quickly jotted down. When Blake made the comment stating that Zoey was crazy, he simply smiled and hid his fear with a nervous laugh. Humphrey peeked over at Zoey who had a vein on her forehead. Yup she's a crazy one . Humphrey thought to himself.
"Kid? Oh well this young lady is Fleur DeValentine. She's a DWMA student as well and, she will be one of your partners on this mission."
Before Humphrey could finish the ship rocked as the anchors were raised. The Blue Cruise was leaving the port and heading out into the open blue.
"Oh it looks like Zoey is about to make an announcement."

The Blue Cruise had officially set sail. The expedition that would be change history had begun. The Blue Cruise sailed very steady and moved at a quick pace. Anyone who knew about tech would have been able to tell that the Blue Cruise was a technological wonder. Five minutes after setting sail everyone on the ship should have heard a loud bell. Standing at the ship's helm of the ship's controls was Zoey. The eager archeologist was fiercely waving a bell to grab everyone's attention. Once everyone assembled at the center of the ship, she stopped waving the annoying bell.
"Hello everyone. If you didn't know my name is Zoey Lockheart. I'm renowned archeologist and you are all a part of my crew now. I know this may hard to believe but we are on a journey to Atlantis. Several years ago I discovered the location of the city but I had no means of entry until now. The information what we may unearth from this ancient civilization will change the world as we know it. You should all be proud of yourself you will all be a part of history. Now you may ask yourselves why are you here? To be honest you are all hired muscle. I want you to all look at the people besides you. We have four students from the DWMA, Illo, Charlie Rabbit, Fleur DeValentine, and Blake Crawler joining us. Aside from our DWMA crew we have five members of the mercenary company Black watch. The nine of you will be tasked with protecting the crew at all cost. There is no telling what we may find at Atlantis. Aside from you nine there is my assistant Humphrey, six of my fellow archeologist peers aboard the ship, and two mechanics to tend to the ship. Their lives are in your hands so guard them well. I'm not a control freak but this is my expedition and I'm calling the shots. I get the final say and my word is law. As long as you all understand that there should be no problems. As for your living arrangements the ship is divided into three portions. You have the upper deck, which we are now. Then there is the mid deck, where you will find your bunkers to sleep in and there is also a mess hall to eat. Lastly there is the lower deck where all of our equipment is being stored away. The lower deck is also rather cold because the freezer is located down there. I shouldn't have to repeat myself but the lower deck is off limits to everyone except from the mechanics, Humphrey, and myself. We have to many important things down there and I don't need anyone breaking anything. I know this is a small ship but try to make the best of it. There is fresh food in the mess hall and with that you are all dismissed. Oh and one last thing. I know some of you had questions. Feel free to come to me and I will try to answer them the best I can. And if any of you are curious about the history of Atlantis I don't mind telling you."

(Sorry for breaking the order, but I'm just going to post really quick because I don't have much to say.)
Illo
Illo nodded and quickly left after the meeting was adjourned. He passed by his fellow "crew" with the ease of a phantom on a foggy lake. Finding his way to the mid-deck, the monk secured an obscure corner and set up a web of enchanted hazes; a violin spider's web full of enlightened plans and esoteric knowledge waiting to be unwrapped. There he would be until called upon by Zoey or and of the crew, meditating.
Fleur listened quietly to Zoey's speech. It seemed fairly straightforward to her. They were going on a ship with other people to find a sunken city. Treasure would be there. That treasure would be hers. End adventure. For the time being she was perfectly happy not to bother anyone as long as they didn't annoy her. As soon as Zoey was done talking she gave a small nod and walked to the edge of the ship, watching the waves as they crashed against the ship. She couldn't deny that the ocean was lovely or that she liked the way the sky and the sea both seemed to go on forever. When she was a small child her parents would occasionally take her to the beach and the waves brought back fond memories. It seemed the volunteer dock-worker had also taken to a corner of the ship where he could sit down and....do something. Well, whatever. She was interested in what was on the lowest decks but for the moment decided against investigating. It was probably just supplies and besides...it was probably pretty dirty.
And in the end, all will kneel before me

( I was going to let people mingle a bit before posting but no one seems to be posting. So I’m just going to move on with the mission.)
With the mission officially under way it seemed like smooth sailing from here on out. The cloudless skies were blue as the sea below. A fair wind carried the Blue Cruise onward toward Atlantis. The crew seemed to be settling in nicely. The Dwma students mostly kept to themselves, while branching off to explore the ship. While everyone was relaxing, Zoey was busy manning the ships controls.
Out of nowhere the entire ship jerked abruptly. The turbulence was so bad that most of the crew fell over. Physically Zoey didn’t see anything that would have caused the disturbance, so she checked the ships sonar. If anyone was looking at Zoey they would have seen fear fill her face. She immediately ran to the side of the ship to see if the sonar was correct. It was brief but everyone would have been able to see a large figure looming under the ship. There was no telling what the creature actually was but it was certainly big.
Before the crew could inspect what the ship had run into an explosion erupted on the other side of the ship. The whistling of cannon fire should have occupied everyone’s attention. Off in the distance a battered ship dawning a pirate flag drew closer to the Blue Cruise. The pirate ship rained down cannon fire, which halted the Blue cruise’s advancement. Within minutes the pirates used grappling hooks to link the two ships together. Once the two ships were linked the blood thirsty pirates began boarding the Blue Cruise.
“Kill the men and tie yup the women men!” One of the pirates yelled.
Upon impact Illo was thrust out of his glorious meditation; so close to Bardo! There he could've gotten some real training done, a veritable force of nature after it given the time it would take them to reach Atlantis... He thought.
As it was now, the monk was picking himself off the floor and heading to the bridge to see what was the cause of such commotion, alarms paving the halls for him in sonographic exclamations as he tapped their excited lines into coherent shapes with his rhythmic kung-fu shoes.
There was no time to play detective as leaden hail rained down on the Blue Cruise. Without even thinking, Illo boosted his power to the edge of its manageability, as he was already at one percent from his meditation earlier, and flew off with impressive speeds (telekinesis) into the storm of cannon fire.
Not wasting time, of which there was none for it, Illo used his telekinesis to shove a couple of the more accurate cannonballs of their course. He turned back to shout at the crew to take cover, but was instead blindsided by a cannonball. The monk's reflexes allowed him to turn around at the last instant and get hands on the ball, but that wasn't enough. Illo was carried like cheap luggage off past the ship and into the water where he sunk like... Well, like a cannonball.
Eventually he threw the ball off him, but it remained Illo would be under for the moment, having sunk a ways down. He would rocket up toward the surface, but how long would it take for the mystic to get there?

Fleur was still looking over the edge of the ship lost in thought when the first jolt hit the ship. "Ahhh!" She cried in surprise, almost falling overboard. She managed to correct her balance but at the same time a rush of water displaced by the impact hit her straight in the face. She stumbled back from the railing quickly shaking her head dry, an angry look on her face. Her expression changed to one of surprised anger as she looked over the side of the ship, seeing a deep shadow just under the surface. "It's one of those slimy, eely SEAFISH!" She yelled angrily, assuming it was something like she had met back at the lake. "Go find your own ocean to swim in you mutant lizard!" She yelled over the side of the railing before she was suddenly distracted by a hail of bullets, many of which cut through her dress. Her attention turned quickly to the pirate ship that arrived. Without thinking her crystal wings shot out from the back of her dress. The multi-colored crystals that hung from them like ripe fruit suddenly turned horizontal like missiles on a fighter plane. And the comparison was quite accurate. The crystals streaked off her wings, each with a high-pitched shriek as they rocketed towards the pirate ship. She didn't care what she hit; she just wanted to take her anger out on something and the pirates had arrived at just the right time.
Blake stayed mostly to himself as the boat sailed. Keeping an eye on the top deck, he'd watch everything from the top of the sails. Things would get shaky as the ship suddenly rocked from side to side. Whether or not they'd been hit was a guess at this point. When the ship came under fire did he move into action. They'd already licked the ships together and were terrorizing the crew. Everyone seemed to be capable even without orders, so none needed to be given. The cloaked man had deflected cannon fire while the small girl from before shot back at the pirates the moment they boarded. A large thud would echo across the deck as the Meister landed before fifteen pirates. With his bare feet gripping the wood of the deck Blake vanished from view. Only a blur of black hair and a silver staff could almost be made out as he dispatched the ones before him. Before he could continue however small crystals flew in the way of travel path. it wasn't that her shooting was a bad thing, but it does make a difference when you have a target in mind. Whacking pirate and crystal alike Blake shouted back to small girl. Easy on the shots kid, almost got skewered by your toys!
Shundō: Assault Hunt: This skill utilizes the user's powerful leg strength while simultaneously increasing the users speed by concentrating energy around the soles of one's feet to the rest of their legs. Although it doesn't increase the user's strength, at high speeds, the attacks can still be strong enough to break metal bare handed. With enough consecration one can even kick off of the air itself. Blake's technique when utilized reaches up to Mach speeds.

Illo
(skipping for activity's sake)
After a moment of chaos Illo exploded out of the sea as if the depths themselves were returning fire on the enemy vessel. That might not have been so inaccurate either as the monk carried the cannonball that hit him before with him. Quickly ascending above the volley of lead and crystals, the monk charged some of his telekinetic energy--telepotential at this point, if you really wanna be a**l about it--and fired the cannonball straight down at the enemy ship. He was careful not to hit Blake, whom he could recognize by the circling pirates around him. With luck the ball would blast right through the hull of the ship and cause it to start taking on water. The monk smirked, seeming sure of himself way up there.
((I was waiting for Pro_Slap to post before moving on but it looks like she may be gone. From now on i'm just going to continue the story at a faster pace because I don't want to have the rest of guys waiting. thank you all for being so patient.))
The pirate assault had continued. Dozens of salty sea dogs continued to board the Blue Cruise. Even though the crew put up a great defense the pirates continued their assault. what the pirates lacked in strength they made up for in their numbers.
"Arrr we nailed one" The pirate Captain shouted as Illo was casted into the sea.
The pirate Captain slowly boarded the Blue Cruise. Multi colored crystals whizzed by him like bullets as they tore into his crew and ship. Even at the sight of his men being skewered there was no signs of fear in the Captains eyes. A hearty laugh escaped the man as he drew his saber and pistol.
"Men a hundred gold and a barrel of ale to anyone who can bring me a head." The captain shouted.
The majority of the pirates seemed to focus on Blake now. The pirates attacked from all angles swing their blades wildly hoping to claim his head and cash in on the Captain's generous reward.
As the fighting continued Illo emerged from the depths of the sea. The Captain pointed at the cloaked man ordering his men to fire at him. As instructed the men on the pirate ship began firing at Illo with their rifles. Before the pirates knew it Illo returned a cannon ball back to the pirates. The cannon ball crashed on top of several pirates and pierced through the hull of the pirate ship.
(You said that you fired cannon ball in the area Blake was in but he is on the Blue Cruise, which would mean you would make the BC take on water, so I edited it towards the pirate ship.)
"We've taken on water." A pirate nervously yell.
While the pirates tried to fix the damages to their ship the Captain focused on the woman who continued to pelt his ship with a bombardment of crystals.
"You Scurvy Wench." The Captain yelled.
The Captain took aim with his flint locked pistol and fired a shot towards the woman's head. Afterwards he ran towards her with his blade hoping to finish the job.

Illo
(oops, thank you. redface )
This was perfect! Well, could've done without the threat of gunfire, but it was going quite well considering the ship was now taking on water. But, of course, this wouldn't be fast enough. Illo needed this ship to be sunk now, not later. After playing the most nervous game of dodgeball, if you can call it that--dodgebullet was more like it--Illo made use of his teleportation ability to warp himself underwater, directly below the hole he'd made.
Then he started firing concentrated telekinetic blasts at the area around the hull-hole. Three, four five, and more. With every blast the hole would become larger and larger until that ship went Titanic.
Jumping from the continuing crystal fire Blake was met with even more pirates. Apparently in the swing action when avoiding those shards he'd cracked a few heads in the process. Along with the captain boarding the Blue Cruise, moral among the raiders went into an uproar. However that didn't detear Blake what do ever. If anything the Meister's soul seemed to increase, enough to spread his will power throughout his soul. I'm worth more than it's worth boys, don't push your luck. With a swing of his bo Blake blew threw the hosts pound men before pole vaulting over to the sinking ship.

I am the Princess of Madness
Fleur was firing rapidly at the pirate ship until she felt something whiz past her, grazing her cheek and drawing a thin line of blood. Her attention turned towards the Pirate Captain as he insulted her. Her eyes widened in fury as she heard the man. "Scurvy wench!!?" She repeated, her voice filled with rage. Her crystals quickly stopped firing and her wings shifted towards him. "You little-! I'm gonna find your parrot and shove it so far down your throat your a** will grow feathers!!" She screamed as crystals began launching off her wings towards the Captain in a renewed assault. She was more than a little upset over this affair. It looked like she would be helping protect the mission after all. At least with this particular crisis. She switched up her attack as she continued; every other crystal still rocketed off her wings towards the Captain, but the remaining ones would stay horizontally on her wings. Bright beams of multi-colored light lanced out from the crystals that remained on her wings; deadly shots of beautifully-colored madness wavelength meant to pierce and burn through anything in their path. The beams weren't as strong as the crystals but were much faster.
