Prompt 2

Anchorage Armada. Boats.

The waters were treacherous during this time of the season. You had to be at the top of your game if you want to navigate them safely. Thankfully the Armada and her crew came prepared and set sail early. This gave them a great advantage and allowed them to bypass the first storm of the season. Others weren't so lucky to escape. Of the 14 teams who started the trip, only 12 made it across the open seas.

The first storm hits. The 4 water-faring groups; Armada, Kraken, Berserkers, and Whalers were the most prepared as they managed to bypass the storm completely. 8 others weren't so lucky as they battle for their lives to survive and battle they did. Their reward? A much bigger and dangerous storm on the horizon.

As the second storm hits, only 8 teams are now remaining of the 14 that started the journey. The Armada, with ample time, were prepared for what was approaching and put all their effort into getting through this as quickly as possible. It was big and windy but nothing the boats haven't been in before. As quickly as it came, it is now gone and all that's left is a bunch of timber debris. The boats sail away with the victory.

By the time the third storm hits, the 4 teams still afloat are all prepared. The biggest and most difficult one yet, but the Armada crew is on full alert. The storm is absolutely berserkers. The boats take several hits and look to be taking damage but there is no quit to this Armada as they unload all of their canons. Eventually the dust settles and all that is left is the Armada and their final storm off the port side.

This is it. The last storm. If the boats can survive this, they will go down in history but they must defeat their rivals. Neither team gives in and both have times where it looks like they are going to be the last to survive. It is a whale of a battle but ultimately the boats take the win and remain as the only team to make it from the beginning to the end in one piece.

It is done. The boats float.
