Link Fox didn't know how long he'd been screaming. All he knew was that he'd been screaming and as his voice finally died off, he began to come back to his senses. Gaunt and Drake were standing in front of him, fighting off several of the wendigoes. They appeared to be on the deck of the ship.
Gaunt was apparently agitated and yelling at someone. After a few moments, Link began to hear sound again and realized it was him that Gaunt was yelling at. ". . .when I tell you to close your eyes, do it and keep them that way! The shadowrealms are not for mortals to look on!" He finished off as one of his shadow beasts traded blows with one of the snowmen.
Icarus Sidewinder circled around and dropped Lykopis onto the ship's deck, before rocketing off again and began circling above. The amazon pulled her sword and screamed an ancient battle cry in the name of the three faced goddess she had foresworn many years ago.
A growl erupted from below decks and Cerebus and Lord Asbjorn punched a large hole through the ship and leapt up to the top to join the fray.
"Gaunt!" Drake yelled between swings of his broadsword. "You said we had to send these things back with the crystal! How do we do that?"
"We have to find Different! Jym's AI is capable of scanning the crystal and activating it to send the beasts home!" Gaunt hurled shadow matter into the face of one of the beasts and stabbed at it with shadowblade. The beast swiped at him with a massive paw as he ducked and backed away from it momentarily.
Lykopis howled with fury as she leapt upon Cerebu's back and lopped off one of the snowmen's limbs. One of Cerebus' heads snatched up the putrid arm and began to gobble it down. "If we send the snowmen back, Cerebus and Asbjorn have promised to leave!" The amazon yelled between strikes.
"And we're supposed to just take their word for that? Sorry, princess, I don't think so!" Icarus responded, emptying an entire clip from his pistol into the eyes of three of the wendigoes as he rocketed past them.
"You would do well to put your faith in us, mortal." Asbjorn muttered, ripping into the heart of another wendigo.
"Bad dog. You ate my arms." Link scowled at Asbjorn, as the hellhound growled back at him. "Tasty. . ." The beast licked it's lips and growled at the man once called "The Worm."
