[The battle is fierce and everyone is lost against their own opponents. Some prefer to barrel through the naval officers and deck hands that had boarded them, while others are taking to picking stragglers off. Kidd, while typically quite a fan of stealth and subtlety if he could manage it - is wielding a blade with a wicked curve dripping with a man's insides and a smoking pistol that is now functioning as a club.
He does not place mercy in this fight, not when it means his life, and easily slits a young man's throat before kicking him aside. It's then that he sees Alex sliding through the throng of bodies as if she knew where to go - a spark of fear mixed with admiration slides down his spine and Kidd finds himself being shoved to the deck for the distraction.
A brute of a man stands over him - easily twice his size and wields a great axe in his hands. Kidd reaches for his second pistol - club be damned and fires it into the hulking giant's chest. The sharp clang of metal against metal sounds off and he staggers, but is not dead.
Scrambling away is his best bet, and the hidden blade in his coat sleeve is unsheathed as he stands and turns to thrust it into the man's armpit but the back of his hand smacks against Kidd's jaw and sends him reeling into Alex's path.]
