Glauis wasn't sure what he was hearing, one thing that registered clearly was Vincent shouting for action. He punches a warming alarm for all crew to brace for abrupt maneuver. "Take us up and starboard! Return fire and Get us out of range of those guns!"
Once clear of the appending fire... "Lets take that ship down, blow it out of the sky! Deploy aircrafts. Bombard them and don't give them a chance to get a shot in!" (I'm not sure what the jets are equipped with but let's use the some of the higher powered weapons)
Glauis takes off his hat and hands it to the officer who took his side arm, addressing his next in command "I leave you in charge, till I return. Keep them from boarding us and take out any ship that comes close. If worse comes to worse, you know what to do, regardless if I am here or not." he gives a pointed look at Vince "Vince knows what we are up against. I will take care of the ones below. Send out a radar ping if you need me, I will hear it."
He takes off his shirt and steps through the door heading to the deck. If no one stops him he will dive off the back of the boat and change form.
(hopefully the orders make sense, sink the ship lol)

Vincent

As Glauis makes his way to the hatch, Vincent blocks his path.

"Captain, given our current altitude I highly recommend against making a dive. You may be more resilient to physical harm than most, but I cannot in good conscience allow you to embark on this action. You MAY survive, but what is the chance you won't be stunned or staggered by the impact with the water's surface? Have you forgotten about the relationship between surface tension and velocity as it pertains to an objects impact with the water?"

He leans in close and whispers, courting old habits...

"I know you feel rage at the present situation and crave blood in the water, but there are better ways to achieve an end. A mere predator can be easily played, manipulated by instinct, but the hunter can command a situation even at a disadvantage. Our adversary is intelligent, but he is still a predator and slave to unholy instincts. We may yet play HIM to our advantage, Captain.

Vince then straightens himself and resumes a normal, cordial tone.

"Captain, I recommend putting the ship into the water. Our lowered position will likely prompt a more visceral and primal response, tactically and we'd be less likely to incur an immediate bombardment."

He grins, speaking after a brief pause.

"And it would be easier to get you into your, shall we say....element, Captain."

As Vince is talking to the Captain, the ship suddenly takes a lurching, gut ripping, heart stopping plummet towards the water some thirty-five hundred feet below. The fall is only a moment, but it is long enough to get the ship out of the way of the incoming shot. The helmsman doesn't say anything or look around, but keeps the ship moving out of what he thinks is the range of the cannon.

Glauis was a little surprised that Vince had stopped him, that he was the one to step forward. In truth he wasn't sure if he could make the jump, but had figured there was a 50\50 chance either way and the creatures in the water wouldn't be able to board the ship if he was there.
Before he can respond he feels the engines throttle before the sudden decent he grabs the railing to keep his balance and knows that he can always count on his crew, they were well and even if he wasn't there tthere they would carry on and survive.

"put this boat in the water." he says, turning back to Vince "I want to know your full plan and we better be quick or those things in the water will be all over us." he guests towards the stairs, "explain on the way, we have little time." and heads outside.

Kira:
It takes about 5 minutes for you to get into an area where communications are free for use.


Vince & Glauis:

The ship takes a long nose dive as she begins the quick descent into the waves now only a mere half-mile below. Several more shots go shuttering by the aft decks as the Kitty goes plummeting into the waves and into a maelstrom of water based demons. The CIWS laser cannons are firing as fast as the barrels can.

==Kira==

As soon as Kira breaks through the interference he establishes a link with the Kitty Hawk. "I have a message for the demon." Actually, it's for everyone on board the ship, but why not single out the hidden goody two-horns in their midst? As soon as he is patched to the bridge Kira interrupts whatever was going on, "We have a large scale situation that has exploded in the entire county around St. Louis. Thousands of D'Jinn and an Efreet are rampaging. I've been informed that the most recent documents regarding an encounter with an Efreet were written by a Rakshasha who would prefer not to repeat the experience. I'm not one to believe in co-incidence, if there's a Rakshasha headed your way, an Efreet in St. Louis at the exact same time, and a document about two creatures of the same race having encountered each other on what would appear to have been unfriendly terms before, I think it might be worth it for us to direct them towards each other. At the very least one might wipe the other out, then we could combine our forces and defeat the weakened survivor."

I do love to watch a good fight.

Vince

He stands at the viewing port of the bridge with his hands clasped behind his back and visually monitors the situation outside. Content to let Glauis satisfy his base instincts in the water around the ship, Vince focuses his attention on Kormith's vessel and how he will respond to their play. He calls the executive officer to his side.

"In order for our feint to work, we must behave as our position would dictate. With your captain away on personal endeavors, that places ships command squarely on your shoulders and I offer you my counsel freely.

"I recommend ceasing all weapons fire. Let them think the battle is won and give them a reason to move in for the kill. I depend on your mastery of this vessel and it's tactics to know the moment when our adversary turns his advantage into a disadvantage.

"At that moment, I suggest striking a decisive blow against his vessel. We need not necessarily destroy it for our ploy to be effective, but we do need him to play to OUR strengths. With our aircraft already deployed, they would make a fantastic flanking strike once we spring our trap."

Vince:
The XO nods and walks over to the weapons station and the CIWS cannon slowly stop firing. The ship slowly begins to sink into the waters as though the ship were taking on water. The XO turns back to VInce. "The ship is able to withstand depths of over eight thousand meters. We can sink like this for..." He breaks off a moment. ".... It seems we won't have to wait that long." The vessel the Kormith commands from plunges into the waters above the Kitty.

He smiles.

Come to monologue, my friend?

He turns to the XO.

"I would suggest flanking with our brave fighters first to draw our adversaries attention. He's close enough now that our CIWS system can be employed against him and he surely won't be prepared by our sudden strike.

"From here, I no longer have a clear tactical vision of where to proceed. I suppose we can board his vessel during either the flanking strike or our own broadside..."

He trails off in mid thought before snapping his fingers.

I knew he had to be good for something!

"Comm," he calls, "send a morse coded series of sonar pulses out the your captain. Our enemy's ship is in water and we could benefit from a hole in her hull below the water line!"

Turning back to the XO, he gives a sheepish grin.

"Assuming such a course of action is permitted by the ships acting Captain, naturally. I assume your marines and familiar with amphibious boarding procedures?"

Vince and the XO:

Moments after the coded message goes out, an audio message comes in from Kira.


"We have a large scale situation that has exploded in the entire county around St. Louis. Thousands of D'Jinn and an Efreet are rampaging. I've been informed that the most recent documents regarding an encounter with an Efreet were written by a Rakshasha who would prefer not to repeat the experience.

The OOD looks at Vince a moment before looking away.

Glauis grew angry with Vince and the entire situation, the lack of information he Vince was supposed to advise and sharing was lacking, he felt that something crucial was being kept from him. He didn't have much of a choice, staying and arguing would only cost time and the demons wouldn't wait. Glauis leaves at a run, across the deck, he doesn't hesitate at the edge just dives and takes form. He can smell them and that makes his anger and thirst that much greater.

Glauis:
The water is filled to brimming with those same demons that he had fought and eaten in the last fight with the monsters. Only this time there are thousands of them. Each time you open your mouth and swallow a dozen of them at a time, a hundred more take their place. The blood and viscera in the water charging the Hunger. A thousand or more had passed through your mouth when a message is sounded through the water. The Demon Ship is in the water and Vince is suggesting that you chomp through the Ships hull and allow water into the people tank.

Glauis stops his blendering of demons as the code reaches him, odd though that the ship was below the surface, but the thought of another prize pushes that thought away. Brushing off demons like annoying bugs he sets his sights on the bottom of the boat that touches down. He cruises past his ship, she looked in one piece . Before surging up wards with jaws wide. He rams his teeth and snout into the ships surface over and over.

Vince

"It's as good a plan as any. You'll have to lead the Efreet to us, however. Our situation is a little...wet, at the moment."

He leans back in a chair and lights a cigarette as he continues to monitor the situation. He doesn't like the idea of bringing another dangerous element into an already deteriorating situation such as theirs, but then again it was no less dangerous than having the Kitty Hawk commanded by a barely restrained monster such as Captain O'Connell. Vince chuckles at the irony of it all, that men would willingly be led by monsters such as he if they thought it would save their own skins. But even Glauis was still enough of a man to know that he needed Vince, that they needed a greater monster than he to lead them...

It's almost flattering...

Vincent stands.

Humans are weak...

He casts aside his human form, reverting to his natural state as a Raksasha.

Time to lead the cattle...

He barks at the XO, his old manner of command bubbling rapidly to the surface. Vincent was used to leading armies of archaic infantry and is no stranger to atrocity, but he knew the role of an XO well enough to know that his word would be made manifest through him lest he taste an ally's steel.

"Position our fighters and begin the flanking strike! Prepare all available batteries for bombardment of the demon vessel above us on MY command and do not cease fire until the sea BOILS around us! When Glauis has fulfilled his purpose, deploy the marines so that they too may taste our enemy's blood!" He bellows, slamming his fist on a console for emphasis. If these...humans weren't hungry for battle, then their fear would suffice to bring them to the banquet hall.

"SHOW NO MERCY! GRANT NO QUARTER! WE EITHER SEIZE VICTORY OR WE DIE IN GLORY!"

Without looking to see if his orders are being carried out and assuming these humans know what is good for them, he states firmly with haunting calm.

"Open fire."

Kira returns to the dust storm in order to see what exactly Requiem can do and where the Efreet is, though it shouldn't be too hard to find the latter.

Glauis:
The Demon Barge tastes like bloody flesh and viscera. Your first bite rips chunks of scales and fleshy bits from the hull. After your third ripping bite you're joined by a dozen other sharks, with dozens more on the way. It takes almost ten minutes of ripping and tearing to break through into the inner hull, and the vast empty space inside quickly fills with tons of water.

Vince:
With but one exception, everyone on the bridge is taken aback and hesitates for the briefest of moments when you divest yourself of the human form and reveal the towering cat-like form that you were born with. Then with military precision that doesn't change no matter what dimension you are in they get to work following your orders.
When the order is given to open fire, the water around the ship is lit up like Plasma Cloud in space. The demon ship is nearly torn to shreds, and what few remaining water demons had remained are vaporized back to Hades. However in the maelstrom of death and carnage the sonar tech picks up a second, third and fourth unidentified vessel coming from the depth of the ocean below. The first vessel rises from the blackness into the light of the laser cannon, the vessels sides are a carved dark colored bone. A massive mast of some creatures jaw juts up from three points in the ship, titanic sails billow and blow in an unseen breeze. Standing at the helm of that ship is a creature seemingly made of pure shadow wrapped in a dark cloak.
The ships dimensions are as follows:
Height: 104 feet (31.6 m).
Width: 680 feet (207 m).
Length: 1269 feet (386.7 m)

"Now would be a good time for that Efreet, eh?" He casually asks aloud of the bridge crew.

"Continue the assault on these new Dyvalian vessels and prepare yourselves to be boarded. Helmsman, bring us topside and order the fighters to provide close air support and ready the aircraft crews for reloading operations."

Normally Glauis would be surprised by surviving the gun fire that rips apart the enemy ship, but his beast side was more aware of its food source was now gone and more ships were rising from deep. Glauis turns to face the oncoming vessels, he calls to the sharks that are left to school and moves towards the rising ships.
