Monsters Of The Sea

 




Blowing wind, pissing rain & heavy waves.

What a fucking fantastic way to start off a new day. With the morning beginning and opening on to a shitty stormy day on the sea Koto rolled his eyes. Not only did he not want to steer the ship, but he didn't even want to be aboard the ship. Travelling was one thing, but weather like this was just fucking nasty. Sitting in the dinning room he could feel his wound healing up from the previous encounters he'd had. It was always the freaking shoulder!

After revealing to Taki that the two of them were wanted dead by some organisation named the Octopus Reach, Koto hadn't been too popular with Taki. Koto wasn't sure if it was his fault or hers but either way the two of them had done something to piss them off and they were both wanted dead. As Koto sat at the kitchen table he slumped back on the sofa and picked up a tooth pick.

Spinning his hand around with it in there he could feel the tooth bouncing around. Bored and pissed off with such horrendous weather Koto wanted to sleep but wasn't certain he could manage with such waves smacking against the ship of which was still unnamed.

A few names had crossed his mind but nothing special.

All demon themed Koto just couldn't think of anything half decent. He'd turned to Bura for answers but none of her suggestions had been all that amazing either. Stepping out from the dinning room on to the deck Koto took a look over the edge of the ship hoping it would provide him with answers. Feeling the rain pissing all over him and drenching him Koto looked up as if to see a giant penis hanging from the clouds dousing him in piss. Instead a sharp shock in the form of a lighting bolt came crashing down before the ship.

"Just fan-fucking-tastic." Koto muttered quietly.

Today was going to be a really horrible day.

 
Taki wasn’t happy. They hadn’t gone past two islands and they were already wanted dead by some organisation she couldn’t even remember. However, it couldn’t be helped, so she just decided to give Koto the glowering treatment. After all, he did manage to get them a doctor, who managed to help her with her wound and the like. Though, Taki did nearly exhaust her supply of bandages just to wrap her up. She didn’t like feeling so confined, it made her remember.. That incident.
 
Now, she had confined herself to the door outside the bathroom, where she’d enter to keep her skin hydrated every once in a while. She couldn’t go outside in the rain because her bandages would get soggy, she was effectively ordered around by some new person she barely even knew, though towering above Koto was a plus. She just napped inside as she waited for her injuries to clear up, it didn’t feel TOO bad anymore, though she was still irritated by an itch inside her ribcage.
 
Bura meanwhile was having a look around the ship, she wasn’t sure how long she’d stay with the two weird people but she was at least making herself helpful. The Orca was called Taki, and she bandaged her up with some symphytum to help with the pain relief. Having had some water, she’d open the door and get almost instantly drenched as she saw Koto out in on the deck.
 
“Hey, who’s steering?” she’d ask, blinking. She’d go off to the front of the ship to see if they were going to crash into anything, before running off to the wheel, before realising she wasn’t even a helmsman and had no idea what to do. She couldn’t even remember which side was port, and if she stayed out for too logn, she was going to get a cold. She was only wearing a chiton after all. “Hey, what made you want to be a pirate anyways?” she’d  call out to Koto.

The rain came down in sheets, and lighting flashed in the distance. Hunkered down on the deck of a boat, Miki was drenched and not very happy about it. That morning she'd set out for sea with a four fishermen. The intent was for them to drop Miki off at a neighboring island where the café grew their coffee beans. When they'd set out it had only been a light drizzle, clearly that had changed. Now the fishermen were rushing around and tying things down, Miki stayed out of their way, knowing she'd be pretty horrible help with her clumsiness and all. The boat they were on had a small cabin with a bed and small cooking area for when the fisherman who owned it decided to stay out over night.

One of the fishermen made his way over to Miki, "Miki, why don't you wait in the cabin. It'll be dryer than out here." he suggested, having to yell over the storm. Miki nodded and carefully got to her feet. For Miki this was possibly the worst situation ever. She had to walk to the ships cabin, but it would be difficult. Miki already had problems due to her clumsiness. She could trip over nothing on a normal day, now the ships deck was slick with rain and the boat rocked as waves struck the boat's side. One step at a time, Miki made her way towards the cabin. She only made it two steps before slipping.

Miki Flail

"Eek!" Flailing her arms about as she fell, Miki ended up face planting on the boats deck but not before accidently hitting one of the fishermen with her hand. Just then a large wave struck the boats side, causing Miki to slide farther from the cabin than she had started. For a moment panic ensued, as Miki feared she'd just slide right off the ship. Luckily for Miki, that didn't happen. At least not yet anyways, Miki still wasn't in the boats cabin.

 


The rain which pissed down and put Koto in a shitty mood became less of a problem when lightning was bolting into the blue and thunder rumbling throughout the clouds. He hated every second of it. Hearing the clattering of hooves he turned to see Bura claiming the helm and looking a little panicked. 

Grinning she asked him why he became a pirate and laughed. 

"Honestly I have no idea. I ran into Taki a few islands ago and after we set sail to get off of the island we got into a heated argument. Next thing we knew we were having a bet that if I could knock her on her arse she'd join me and if I couldn't she could chuck me over board."

Koto looked at the drenched wooden deck and shook his head laughing internally with a smile plastered on his face. 

"Then after that, we ran into you on that last island so yeh. Stupid as it sounds I guess I became one because I was in an argument. But its not like Taki couldn't stop me with these guns." Taki replied as he rolled his sleeve up and started tensing showing off his minuscule muscles. 

Rumbling high in the sky the sound of thunder echoed all around. Koto hated this weather. 

"What made you choose to be a-" realizing he had no idea what Bura was Koto paused mid sentence. "What're you?" he asked. Probably would've been a good idea to have asked before hand. But this was Koto. 

A brain dead moron. 




Whilst Taki rested her allowing her wounds to heal the ship would rock from side to side thanks to the heavy waves slamming into the side. Strong as the ship was it still couldn't avoid being knocked. Taking the brunt of the hit the ship continued riding the waves the best it could manage. 

With the horrendous storms shooting down bolts of lightning around them and thunder rolling through the clouds only getting louder and louder, it wasn't just the ships caught in this who were struggling but the wild life too. Sea creatures ran in fear beneath the surface of the water and birds high in the sky flapped frantically fearful of the weather. 

As another bolt of lightning shot beside the ship and crack of thunder banged on the sky louder than the previous one a new by news ku screamed and took to a suicide landing. Shooting through a cloud and towards a ship without a flag the news ku tried its best to flap its wings. Unable to control his descent the news ku. 

Hitting the mast with its right wing the bird suddenly flew straight through the kitchen & dinning room and down the corridor. At the end of the corridor sitting right in front of the bathroom door was the large resting fish woman Taki. 

With eyes widened and a heart full of fear the news ku with a bag and papers spilling out shot beak first towards Taki's chest. 




"FUCKING THUNDER!"

With bolts shooting down and the waves so big and dangerous they'd just ruined what was meant to be the beginning of the voyage of the world's greatest soldier. But no. Apparently the beginning was not today. 

Drenched, burnt and now pretty useless as all of her weapons and ammunition was soaking wet the foul mouthed awkward soldier Sisteen Seven found herself looking back at the remains of her rowing boat. She'd been really looking forward to starting her journey to greatness but now here she was stranded on a floating block of wood. 

What a fucking joke this was!

All she could do now was wait to die and that was pretty harsh coming from Sisteen who wouldn't accept death even if she had her own throat slit. Looking towards the heavens she cursed the god's who'd been nasty enough to launch this shit storm her way. If she had her way she'd launch allot more than curses their way, but with the rain and fact that she'd nearly been drowned trying to clamber aboard her ship's remains and that her weapons wouldn't fire she could only launch what came from her. 

"I really hope I don't die out here." she muttered to herself quietly brushing her pissing wet hair that stuck to her face aside. If anything of impending danger came her way she wanted to be ready for it. 

Removing Allocen and twirling it in her fingers she had a game to play. 

The waiting game.

 
Bura listened to Koto’s story. She ducked down a little at the lightning, gosh, they were both going to get colds and the whole crew and passenger’d get incapacitated. Then who’ll steer the thing? The boat? The ship? She’d never properly been on a ship ebfore, she was usually stowed away. A stowaway. “Huh? You knocked her over? She’s huge!” she’d exclaim, surprised. But he was so.. Small. She guessed it was due to his devily fruit thing, rails. Made rails. He was half train.
 
“Huh, well you guys sure get into trouble, don’t you?” she’d say, it was just two islands in and they were already getting attacked and the like. Koto rolled his sleeve up even though he was going to get a cold soon, then again Bura was going to get a cold soon too. Or she wont’ get a cold soon, but that wouldn’t make sense because she should be getting a cold soon. Soon.
 
“Uh.. I’m a uh.. Well, always wanted to try out pirating, exploring the world and the like, maybe getting some money so I can buy inventions and.. A new sword.” she’d say, shrugging. Then she remembered, she shouldn’t be standing still, otherwise she’d get that cold! She’d start running on the spot, her hooves clattering against the floor. “But right now I guess I’m still a farmy doctor person.”
 

 
Taki was taking her nap before she heard a fluttering noise. Opening her eyes, she’d notice a rather panicked looking bird flying toward her. She really wasn’t in the mood for interruptions for her sleep.
 
With one hand she’d attempt to grab the news ku mid-flight, with the other she’d attempt to grab its talons. Should she be successful, she would attempt to bring it up to eye level and stare at the thing. “I’m. Trying. To. Sleep. Shut. Up.” she’d rumble, before attempting to toss (not throw) it back down the corridor. She wasn’t going to kick it out of the insides of the ship, she wasn’t cold-hearted, just sleepy.
 
She would attempt to go back to sleep, however she’d notice her skin was getting a little dry, before she’d sigh and get into a crawling position on hands and knees, opening the door and squeezing herself in as she turned the shower on and started to carefully shower on her head and around her upper section, splashing water down to her legs before turning it off and going back to sleeping outside of it.

Even more carefully than before, Miki rose to her feet once more. taking the first step, Miki started back towards the cabin, hoping, praying, that she wouldn't fall again. This time it only took that first step for Miki to topple over again. before she'd fell forward, now Miki fell backwards, flailing her arms about as she went down. Seeing as she was by the railing now, Miki expected to fall overboard, but she didn't. Instead the back of Miki's head struck the railing as she went down.

Instantly Miki's hands flew to the back of her head, Damn! that hurt. she thought rubbing the now throbbing area of the back of her head. Maybe I should just crawl to the cabin. This time Miki stayed on her hands and knees, crawling towards the cabin door. She was nearly at the door when the fishermen began shouting to one another.

"There's wood in the water! Looks like parts of a boat!" one called. "Really? That means there may be people in the water!" another replied. [b]"Watch out, there must be some rocks around here then!" a third called. The fourth one remained silent as they scanned the sea for people.

People? Oh no! Completely forgetting about her goal of getting out of the rain and the dulled pain from where she'd hit her head, Miki scurried over to the side of the boat and peered out over the water. Wait, is that a person. Squinting, Miki could make out a person clinging to some wood in the water, "Hey! I can see som-," Miki's call was cut short as her hand slipped off the railing. This is when the one thing Miki had prayed wouldn't happen did, in her haste she had forgotten to be careful. Flailing her arms about, Miki toppled overboard landing in the water with a splash and a scream.

 


At the mention of always being caught in trouble Koto nodded.

"Yeah, I guess your right. I do get myself into quite a few scraps." Noticing that Bura was beginning to shiver Koto made his way up the steps towards the wheel. Arriving beside Bura he felt the rain pissing over him making his shirt stick to him.

"Well Bura, if it helps when we reach the next island we can get you a sword. I have some money from Murphy's bank robbery. She couldn't fit all the money in her bag so I took the rest." Removing his bag and revealing the money stacked up he grinned.

"So how about it? When we get to the next island we'll get you a new sword. Its the least we could do for your services in patching us up."

Koto heard Bura speak about new inventions and wanted to speak to her about some but he wasn't certain. He liked inventions but wasn't one to reveal much to someone else about them. Keeping his mouth shut he nodded. As Bura explained she was a medic or a doctor person Koto nodded.

"Y'know we do kinda need a doctor aboard the ship. Taki & I seem to have a bad habit of running into trouble and getting ourselves into quite the painful predicaments."



As the news ku was caught and tossed away from the bag around its neck a paper came out and fell on top of Taki. The news paper had a picture of Taki in a small column. It was a picture of Lyon Tsubio & Taki from when the two of them broke out some slaves in the Grand Line. There was mention below of this act reaching fishmen on fishman island and due to the act reaching them a sudden increase in fish man activity throughout the surface. More fish men & women had headed to the surface to join their revolution in freeing slaves or making human's suffer.

Since the attack there had been numerous assaults on humans from merfolk taking down merchant vessels and fish men robbing them. Destroying people's chances at getting much needed supplies and ruining lives the fish folk felt no remorse for their actions and things were only going to escalate. But it seemed like this was what people wanted. A war was coming and the question people would be left with was whose side they would be fighting on?



Unable to sleep or even rest Sisteen kept her eyes peeled for anything. She wasn't dying here and definitely not today aboard a small piece of wood. She could see for miles but all that was in her sight was just more ocean blue. It frustrated and annoyed her but there was nothing she could do. Another bolt of lightning struck down and thunder cracked above.

Catching her attention and turning to her right she caught sight of a fishman's boat heading her way. Standing up and waving her arms she wanted to get their attention. if she could flag them down then maybe, just maybe she'd be lucky enough to get off of this ruined ship and on to an actual boat.

And if they were the bad kind of people who were going to use her or rob her she always had Allocen to do some talking for her. The boat continued sailing her was and she started to smile.

"HELP!" she shouted at the top of her lungs hoping they were coming to rescue her. Watching as the ship came closer she watched as a person looked over the railing and slipped. Falling into the ocean blue Sisteen face palmed and shook her head.


"Whoever this girl is she seems pretty ridiculous." shhe muttered quietly.

 
“Eeeyeeeeeah.” Bura would reply. Koto jumped up and walked over to her. She continued to run on the spot. “Huh, you would?” Bura blinks, before her face lit up at the stack of money that he pulled out of his pocket. “Oh, thanks!” she’d say.
 
“Huh, you do? I guess I can help. Whatcha called?” she’d ask, no point in beating around the bush with this sort of thing, and they had a cool ship. “What’s the endgame anyways? Are we going for uh.. Money and stuff, or adventure and stuff, or uh.. Stuff and stuff?” she would ask, keeping the wheel in place.
 
She wondered what kind of sword she should get. She liked the nodachi, but it was big and clumsy and she couldn’t swim with it. She should get a swimming sword. A sword for swimmers. For swimming.
 

 
Taki moisturised herself and found that a piece of newspaper had dropped onto her. She picked it up, and supposed that reading it might pass the boredom. She’d raise an eyebrow as she remembered that clownfish fishman that helped her when she first came to the surface. What was his name again? She couldn’t remember.
 
As she continued to read, her emotions changed. First, it was good that fishmen were coming up to the surface, though she was a little surprised at what came next, she didn’t quite have a revolution in mind, nor and kind of retribution on people who didn’t have anything to do with it.
 
There seemed to be merchant vessels being destroyed because she freed a few slaves, she sighed and shook her head. Like her, fishmen were floundering on the surface because they didn’t know what they were doing. She tossed the newspaper down the corridor, before crossing her arms, thinking.

Miki floundered about in the water frantically, she'd known this was going to happen. The minute the rain started, Miki just knew it. The fishermen were quick to take action, throwing a rope to the flailing Miki. "Don't worry young ladies! We'll get the both of you!" The leader called over the storm as they fished Miki out of the water.

T-thanks," Miki muttered, teeth chattering. Once the soaked to the bone Miki was back in the boat, the fishermen angled the boat to head over and help the woman standing on the piece of wood. As they pulled up alongside Sisteen, one of the Fishermen reached over, offering to help her board.

Another of the fishermen, the one who had told Miki to go to the cabin before, escorted the shivering Miki to the cabin. He held the door open for the waitress, before following her in. He grabbed two towels. One was draped over Miki's shoulders and the other was ready for Sisteen once she was onboard.

 


Handing Bura the beli from his bag he was happy he could help, but in exchange he did wanted medic. He may have seemed pretty nice about it but if anything she kinda would owe him. As Bura agreed and asked the end game Koto looked up as if he was trying to find an answer. But nothing really presented itself other than pissing rain, more lightning & rolling thunder. 

"To be honest, I'd never really thought about that. But I guess all I'm really looking for is shit to do and fun to have. But if we can get hold of a shit ton of money and then some notoriety I guess I'll be happy. I want to become a shichibukai so if you've got any good ideas how I can accomplish that, then that'll be good too."

Grinning back at Bura, Koto smirked. He really hadn't given it much thought than he should've done, but one day he'd have a plan of his own just like one day they'd reach the grand line. 

The furthest Koto had thought ahead if he was completely honest was getting off of this ship and landing on the new island whatever island that was. For a navigator he was proving pretty useless currently seeing how he had no map and no way of knowing where he was headed other than currents of the sea. Even then he wasn't fantastic at reading them. 



On the back of the paper was a picture of the fishman leading the charge. He was an elephant tuna fishman with a black beret two tusks protruding from his face, blue skin and a black goatee along with red beady eyes. Wearing a black wiggling eel tattoo over the back of his right shoulder blade the picture showed him looking over his left shoulder from behind. This was Nolty Meeve the revolution's leader. 

Once a royal guard things were taken too far when his father was taken by a human. Word found itself in his ear that it was humans who were selling him into slavery and Nolty took vengeance by making his way on to the surface and hunting down his father bringing anyone who got in his way to their knees and crushing their skulls or impaling them on his tusks. 

By the time he found his father he was dying of his wounds as a slave in his old age and Nolty was a notorious murderer guilty for the deaths of 13 men and destruction of a large castle which he'd burnt to the ground looking for his father. 

 


Watching as the boat came closer to herself, Sisteen rolled her eyes at the clumsiness of the foolish girl that fell in. She was ridiculous. As the fishermen offered their hands to help her aboard Sisteen wasn't going to give in and accept their help. She was a maly woman an dit was everyone for themselves. 

Hopping aboard herself and removing her Allocen from its holster she quickly spun it in her fingers as she made her way behind the fishermen and eyed them up from head to toe with her icy cold stare. She'd just wanted a boat and not a crew to rescue her. 

"I'm grateful for your help guys, really I am. So don't take this the wrong way, but I want you off of my ship right fucking now or I'll kill the lot of you."

Holding her Allocen in her hand waiting for one of them to make a move Sisteen stabbed quickly to her left as the boat shook and when the splash of water cleared half way down Sisteen's Allocen was a fish impaled on it. Flicking the Allocen towards the fishermen she watched as the fish flew off towards them followed by her deathly glare.

 
“Yay, thanks!” she’d say, having to go on her knees to actually reach the guy to attempt to hug him. Once that was over, she’d shield the beli from the rain via putting it.. She looked for a place to put it, before nder her chiton at the left hip, the cloth should protect it from the rain, and the belt’d keep it in place.
 
“[color=olive]Huh, one of those Warlords of the Sea?” she’d ask, blinking.  That was a.. Preeeetty high place to aim for. “Uh.. UH! Crash a loada people, make a loada beli, then since they take a slice out of whatever you make, they’d get a loada money too, or something. Take another Schichi’s position, make sure that one can’t make money or something.” she’d say.
 
She looked up at the sky, it was.. Preetty stormy. Yup. “Say, doesn’t that mean going into the grand line? That place is weird from what iv’e heard of it.” she’d say, cleaning an ear with a finger. She overheard conversations about it, though she wasn’t paying much attention at the time and they said something about it being horrible or something.


 
Taki was seeing a lot of elephant tuna fishmen lately. Or, at least two. There was one she believed in the slave pen, who doubted her strength. She shook her head as she read a bit more. She felt bad that Nolty couldn’t’ make it to his father in time, or five years earlier. She supposed it’s a good that they’re revolting against slavery, though if they brought innocents up into the mix then they’d lose a bit of gravitas for her.
 
Sighing, she’d rub her eyes before checking her bandages. Yup, secure. She needed to get a chair about her size. Or a bean chair, that’d probably do. It was a bit uncomfortable, trying to keep her back straight while trying to sleep, she might as well just sleep on the floor. However, she remembered the news ku and wondered where that went, looking around as she idly turned the page.

The fishermen all froze the minute the gun was pointed at them, "Can't we work something out? Like you dump us at the next island and keep the boat?" one said hesitantly. The others nodded in agreement, "Or even just wait until this storm passes, then let us leave."

The one who had brought Miki into the cabin, glanced towards the door, wondering what had happened and why the other one they had gone to rescue wasn't coming yet. The fishermen decided to go figure out what was taking so long. Stepping out onto the deck, he found that Sisteen had been rescued, but was now point a gun at his fisherman friends.

Thinking, quick, he closed the door behind him, leaving Miki in the cabin.

"Huh?" Miki mumbled, pulling the towel tighter around herself. She didn't mind being left alone, it was nice to just be out of the rain. Miki noticed the sword her father had made, propped against the table on the other side of the room.. Feeling weird not having the sword with her, Miki got to her feet and walked over to grab it, only to miss when a wave hit the boat, knocking her off her feet once more.

Miki Flail

As she went down for the upteenth time this boat trip, Miki manged to knock several things over including the coffee pot that had been left on the table. The spilled coffee spread across the floor quickly, as Miki scrambled to her feet.

 


As her arms wrapped around him Koto felt uneasy were the best words to describe it. He hadn't ever expected to receive a hug from a female creature such as Bura but accepted it as awkward as it was having her crouch down to do so. It annoyed him, but there wasn't anything he could do about it annoyingly. As she spoke about heading to the Grand Line Koto nodded. He did indeed plan to travel there.

"Yeah, I've heard stories about how the Grand Line is a pretty awesome place full of some crazy inventions and powerful pirates & marines alike. I'd love the chance to meet them. But lets face it, I'd probably floor them in one. I mean it is me after all." Koto said cockily smiling.

He was pretty confident in his abilities, perhaps more so than he should've been. Turning to look out over the waves Koto continued speaking.

"The thought of that power and that notoriety running throughout the sea. Just the sheer thought of it puts a smile on my face. I think it'd be pretty amazing." At the mere mention of these words from the stormy skies above two birds came out. Soaring above the ship the two birds remained hovering above. Both seemingly to have found a new spot the two liked.

A loud squawk was heard which caught Koto's attention. Looking towards the birds he returned his gaze to the sea.

"So what is it you want out of life Bura?"



From beneath the ship took a hit and shook. Bumping upwards the ship jolted as if a large whale had head butted it from beneath. Quickly dismissing the bump and splashing back down the Ignatius continued through the blue as calmly as it could manage. Another wave hit the side sending it to the left followed by a second then a third and finally another bump.

Knocking the ship around quite a bit it was clear the weather was either getting much more vigorous or something wanted a reaction out of them. Another bump slammed into the bottom and jolted the ship right out of the water.

Seconds later the sound of gunfire was heard. Above the ship where the two birds had swooped down two bags around their chests had flapped open and tucked away neatly were two barrels connected to heavy machine guns.

Opening fire from the sky upon Bura & Koto, the two were caught under fire by two birds and a shit load of lead.




Looking at the fishermen with her Allocen (Allocen isn't a gun, its a needle like blade explained on Sisteen's character sheet.) Sisteen shook her head. She wasn't that type of girl. She didn't do deals, she always got what she wanted and in the events where she didn't she got straight back up after a beating and started beating down them.

"I don't do deal. I get, I take & I vanish. Now why don't you be a dear and do the vanishing bit for yourselves and save yourselves a painful yet oddly satisfying bit of torture & get on the raft."

As a wave slammed into the boat Sisteen was slightly knocked, but not enough so to send her off of her feet or on to her arse. Slipping and grabbing the edge of the boat she remained in a position of power with a blade tightly clenched in her hand and a keen eye for blood & guts.

The sound of something being split put her one edge, turning to locate the source she quickly returned her gaze towards the fisherman and newly arrived one.

"Get off the boat or I'll skewer you good & proper." she said before taking a step closer and preparing to inflict a lovely bit of violence on the group and finish them off.

 
After releasing Koto, she put her hand on the wheel again, before realising she had no idea on how to steer a ship, left for left, right for right. Right? Koto talked about the grand line, and how he’d “floor” them all. “Wow, really?” for a moment, she was actually convinced that he could do it, but then a split second later she realised it was bravado. Or was it?
 
Blinking away some rain that managed to get into her eyes (which wasn’t all that hard), she’d look up. “Yeah, sounds good.” she’d say absent minded. Koto had said something about notoriety, but she was distracted by two birds that were flying toward the upways of the ship. They let out a squawk that let Koto know about their presence,. That was weird, birds wouldn’t want to be around in a thunderstorm like this, they usually headed inland when one came about. Then again, they were pretty weird birds.
 
“Huh? Me? Well-” she’d begin before jumping out of her skin as bullets rained down from above. “Holyshit.” she’d say, not quite expecting the birds to have.. Guns. She crouched down and hid behind the wheel, there were times to fight, but not now. Now would be getting shredded by lead, and she didn’t feel like that. She could jump up and kick the heck out of both of them, but then she’d be running into gunfire, bleeeh. “Antiair!” she’d say at Koto, not quite managing anything more than that as she went prone.
 

 
Taki grunted as the sea continued to bash the ship, and by extension irritated her due to smacking herself against the wall with her shoulders. Of course, she could just jump into the water and not care, but now she had to make sure the midget didn’t drown himself. Of course, she wouldn’t call him that to his face, she was supposed to stop other people form saying that, being the first mate and all.
 
Wincing as he wound became more irritated at the bouncing around, she stood up, placing her hands upon the wall before hearing the sound of gunshots, sighing she’d go to the door to figure out what was happening NOW. She’d open the door, the storm didn’t seem to be letting up, and she noticed two swirling black figures swooping down to fire.. Guns? Somehow?
 
She really didn’t want to go outside with her bandages, but she could maybe just throw things at them quickly. She’d look around, before noticing the rope she pulled the new member, Koto and that woman with the kid up. She’d grab it, and tie it to the handle of a kettle. Returning to the deck, she’d swing it around before throwing it at one of the birds, keeping a tight grip on the other end of the rope.

With Allocen still pointed at them, the fishermen were nervous. When she refused their proposed deal, they wasted no time in listening to Sisteen. Moments passed, and all but one of the fishermen were in the raft. The one left, was the fisherman standing infront of the cabin door. He looked just as nervous as the rest, but he couldn't just leave yet like the others.

"Um, I hate to waste any more time like this, but what about her?" He asked nervously, pointing over his shoulder at the door. "I assume you saw her earlier, the one who fell overboard. You probably want us to take her with us, right?"

Meanwhile, Miki got to work in cleaning up the mess. First she picked everything up, washed any traces of coffee off them before placing the items back where they went. When the last object that had been knocked off the table was back in place, Miki looked around for a mop. Not finding one, she just used the towel that had been given to her to wipe up the spilled coffee. "There, I wonder what's taking so long, maybe I'll go out and see as well as ask about a mop."

Curious, Miki walked over to open the door. Opening the door, Miki stepped outside and looked around, "Hey, do you guys have a- wait, what's going on?" she asked looking from the fishermen, to Sisteen then back again.

With a sudden shock of the rattling of gunfire which exploded from the satchels attached to the birds the Ignatius was embedded with a whole lot of lead. With Bura ducking for cover and a bang into the bottom of the ship sending them out of the water Koto was lost for actions and words.

Gripping his Mife, Koto hopped behind Bura and out the other side in which the bullets followed him. Sweeping down towards the two of them one of the two birds swooped down.

Drawing incredibly close to the decking gun fire was opened once more and splintering the wooden decking which shot up in all directions the bird came closer & closer to Koto before finally the bullets ripped through the air either side of him. Due to the constant moving momentum & the gun's kick back keeping good accuracy was pretty difficult.

Mife: Jab

Pouncing forward towards the bird which was now revealed to be an albatross due to its large nature with a pilot's hat around its head. Koto jabbed his mife into the bird's face. As contact was made and the bird's face hit the mife it was sent over Koto and crashed into the decking behind rolling before coming to a stop.

The creature struggled to deal with such an impact. Turning to look over the albatross Koto saw that his mife had shattered the beak. Grinning he quickly got to work removing the contraption around the bird's body. Strapping it to himself Koto turned to look at Bura.

Another bump slammed into the bottom of the ships knocking Koto off balance.

"Bura you've got pretty strong legs right?" he asked before signalling to the sky. Koto wanted to be launched into the sky.



Arriving to the party a little late as Taki threw a kettle towards the remaining bird. As the kettle reached its full extension and the rope became taught it quickly lost its momentum and came crashing back. Knocking the ship one more time it was sent sideways and shaken badly.

Beside the Ignatius a small fish swam along side it dragging behind it a small raft with a single gentleman aboard. Like a horse & cart of the seas a small bull shark maintained the speed to keep up with the ship. Two more albatross sat on the edges of the raft waiting. Both armed with the same gun attachment

The gentleman aboard held a trident in his right, wore a pair of old tattered dark brown trousers held up with a rope & a green sleeveless top. His large muscular arms were covered in tattoos of the blue. From starfish, to shipwrecks & even sea horses he was covered in them. With a chiseled jawline and mini dark dreadlocks he put his arms out and the two birds gripped his arms and begun to lift him into the air.

Lowering him aboard the ship the gentleman landed on the main decking with his trident in hand and a grin on his face, the two birds landed beside him and the guns rolled out ready to fire.




Finally getting what she wanted Sisteen watched as the fishermen climbed aboard the raft. With a final hesitation she started to roll her eyes annoyed at this simple act as she mentioned about Miki who'd fallen over board and taking her with Sisteen thought about it and as her lips opened to say yes she stopped herself.

"No, leave her. I need someone to pilot this ship. No climb aboard and be gone with you."

With the sudden appearance of Miki who questioned her situation Sisteen kept calm and looked at Miki with the same deadly look she'd given the fishermen.


"You're my helsman lady, so you best get to the wheel and start taking us to an island. Somewhere nice preferably. I just want to be out of this shitty weather and some where warm with solid ground again. Been out here far too long as it is."

 
Bura continued to go prone as she saw Koto running about, dodging gunfire left, right, side to side, it was pretty cool to say the least. When the Bird came too close, he used his.. Thing, dagger? Metal stick? At the bird, breaking its beak that she winced at once she saw the damage. “Ew.” she’d mutter, looking up to the other bird.
 
Koto asked her the obvious question, “Yeah?” she’d say, looking up to where Koto was pointing to she’d nod, still crouching as she jumped lowly toward him, aiming to scoop the little guy up and jump as high as she could. “Huh, you’re pretty convenient to carry, aren’t you?” she blurted out before she could think.
 
They’d probably make it about crows-nest high, give or take a few feet, probably give a few feet. All she needed to do now was make sure they didn’t end up in water, in case Koto did anything drastic.
 

Taki grunted as it seemed one of the birds was taken care of by Koto and the other one. She tugged the kettle back and grabbed it mid-air. She looked around, since the birds had guns on them, it was safe to say that they had an owner lurking about somewhere. No doubt another annoyance from the Octopus morons.
 
She looked around before noticing two birds carry a man onto the ship. “If you wanted to come on, you should’ve asked.” she’d grunt, swinging the kettle in a small circle on her right side, while the left held onto the rope.
 
She had absolutely no intention of letting the grinning man use his birds to riddle her. She had enough injuries from before without having a trident stuck in her thigh or something, she’d throw the kettle way off to the side, before swinging it toward the three, aiming to cause the rope to wrap around them as the kettle becomes the weight.

"You want me to be the helmswoman?" Miki asked to verify, as the last fisherman joined his fisherman friends in the raft. None of them seemed to worried about leaving Miki alone with the woman who had threatened them. In fact, as they shoved off to drift until the storm ended, they seemed almost relieved.

"I guess I can do that, there is a dry towel in the cabin there if you want it." Miki told Sisteen with a friendly smile. That said and done, Miki headed up to the helm. She looked side to side, wondering which direction would lead them to an island faster. Shrugging, Miki steered the boat to the left in hopes that they'd find land. truthfully, she wouldn't mind that either, getting out of the rain.

As she steered the boat, Miki decided she somewhat liked being the helmswomen. True she was clumsy, but there was no way she could possibly mess something up now, with her hands gripping the helms wheel. Nope, nothing can possibly go wrong now. Another wave struck the side of the boat, nearly knocking Miki off her feet again, but somehow, the klutz managed to stay put by clinging to the wheel.

Nope, no possible way, she thought again, this time with a nervous laugh.

As Koto was hoisted up by Bura and launched into the air he grinned. The pack that he'd attached to his torso was pretty decent but he was trying to figure out how to use it. It had to be able to be used by birds. So without arms they needed to either use their talons on chest.

Pushing his chest forwards Koto felt the guns slide forward and out. Pointing forwards the gun barrels were now aiming towards the bird which he was level with. Looking at the albatross who performed the same move Koto smirked.

"Time for one final flight" he muttered as both barrels begun firing. It was a simple design that Koto wasn't fond of but it worked for birds. Push the pouch out with your chest launch a series of bullets and it withdraws after a short burst. A device Koto would surely be changing up. As empty bullet cases launched out of the side and a short burst of gun fire was launched the bird's way and the same from the bird to him the rattaling gunfire subsided.

With eyes wide and wings stopped the albatross soared downwards towards the deck of the Ignatius. Bloodied wings and pained the albatross was done for. Grinning Koto found himself falling back down to the decking with a few small painful spots over his torso.

Over his body he had three small bullet wounds.

One was a skim beside the right side of his neck, the second was embedded in his left bicep whilst the last one had gone in ripping one hole and found its way out via another hole on his back. Tearing straight through his right breast blood begun to form over his white shirt.



As Koto & Bura were on the deck along with Taki and the new member on the deck, the gentleman raised a free hand and clicked his fingers. Four more birds rose flying above armed with the same gun pouches.

"I see you've noticed my arrival and you've made a nasty piece of work out of my birds."

As Taki spoke about wanting to come aboard he directed his attention towards her and started taking a few steps forward. Launching a kettle on a string in his direction the gentleman quickly reacted with a quick movement. The bird quickly raised itself up avoiding the kettle. The birds weren't stupid and neither was the gentleman. Ducking under the kettle he stabbed upwards catching the kettle on the middle prong of his trident. Tugging on it he attempted to remove control of the kettle on this string from Taki. She wasn't worthy enough.

"I don't need to ask. You are filthy criminals and no one asks a filthy criminal if they may approach them. Especially not when they are standing on the side of justice!"

the albatross Koto had just shot up came crashing down and slammed into the decking before the gentleman who closed his eyes and weeped a single tear.

"I am James Maximoff Garland the third and you murdered one of my birds. I am the man who brought Mr Jacqueline Rabbit to justice and sentenced Bryant to death. With a single swoop of my bestial legion I shall do the same to you. After all you all seem to be quite a thorn in someone's side."

"And whose side might that be?" Koto asked as he'd reache dthe decking.

Directing his attention to the bloody Koto who seemed to be in quite a bit of pain as he hunched over clutching at his wound.

"Octopus Reach of course!"

At this exact moment the source of the bumping beneath the ship was revealed. Not only did this psycho have a series of birds at his command but many animals. From either side of the ship came two tentacles. Reaching to grab hold of Taki, Bura and Koto the tentacles were large and swept towards all of them.

It was time Maximoff put an end to the crew unlike Scarecrow. The Octopus Reach didn't like having to hire outside help, but in the incidence they needed to they would to eradicate a problem and currently Koto, Taki and Bura were proving to be a thorn in their side having moved up from a thorn in their shoe.

If they continued going the way they were, the group would no longer be a thorn in the side by one in the eye.




As Miki questioned about her being the helmswoman Sisteen nodded. She didn't care. She just wasn't in any mood to pilot a ship right now so if she had someone else to do it she'd happily take them. When Miki spoke about the towel Sisteen shook her head. What was the point when it was pissing down so heavily.

Approaching Miki with the Allocen still in reach in its holster on her leg Sisteen looked out over the front of the ship. It was time they found land and found it soon. She didn't like being caught out here in this shit.

"I hope you know where you're headed. I've hated being caught out here for such a long time."

A large bolt of lightning shot down and thunder rolled over. As the bolt hit the water's surface is sprayed up. Looking towards the clouds Sisteen felt uneasy. Breathing slightly heavier she looked towards Miki.

"Sisteen." she said gesturing towards herself before she gestured towards Miki. "What's your name?" she asked. Little did Miki and Sisteen know. They were currently on the journey that would take them into a darker world. Much darker than they could ever have known. The North Blue wasn't safe for anyone who dared disagree with the Octopus Reach.

Coming their way through the storms was a little black boat. The little black boat with a few scuffs and looking a little rough came sailing through the waves. As it came closer to the fisherman's boat that Sisteen & Miki were board it didn't even seem maned as it was headed straight for them not changing course.

 
Bura was in the air, if the bird shot at them now she could only go down, so they really weren’t in a good spot if Koto didn’t do something. She looked down, Koto was fiddling with whatever he got from the bird, then suddenly gunfire shot out from it. “Wooooah, cool!” she’d gasp, reaching around and poking the thing.
 
She then felt herself descending, so she bent and braced her knees. They crashed to the floor, Bura making sure Koto didn’t fall straight to it, her hooves clattered against the floor at the extra weight. “Uff.” she’d say, kicking the air. “I should work out more.” she’d say, before immediately thinking of bed. She should have a snooze or something.
 
Noticing that Koto was hurt, she dug her hand into her sachel before realising she must’ve left it in the kitchen. “Uh.. Pack’s in the ship.” she’d explain, moving toward the railings before noticing some guy was on with them. She followed Koto down and he was talking about Garliclands or something. “You’re weird.” she’d say, walking toward the entrance to the ship.
 
Suddenly, something grabbed her by the leg, pulling her backwards causing her to become misbalanced. She’d fall to the ground, looking back she’d see she was caught by a tentacle from.. Something. “Ewewewew!” she’d mumble, attempting to kick the thing with her other foot.
 

 
Taki looked, straight-faced at the one who stepped on board the ship. He confirmed that it was indeed him who sent the birds, obvious yes but it was good to know who disturbed your rest. As she swung the kettle toward him, he caught it with his trident, pulling it toward him.
 
He was fairly strong, but not quite enough. She’d stand still, staring balefully at him as he tugged it, the arm holding the string twitching only a little as he tried to take it away from her. The rope snapped, she looked at it for a moment, then at him.
 
He sprouted something about them being criminals, he’s James, and so forth. Her wounds weren’t quite fully healed yet, but she could try something while she was going easy, inspired from her rapids kick. She saw tentacles reach toward her from the side of the ship, she’d hold up her hand, then swing it toward the thing, her sharp nails cutting through the air toward it, aiming to dice it before the thing reached her.

Miki glanced at Sisteen when the other woman joined her. Miki cringed slightly when she was questioned about knowing where they were going. "Actually, about that... I don't know where I'm going, but if we keep going in one direction we should find land eventually, right?" Now was as good a time as any to admit she was lost.

Miki's own sword, the one she didn't know how to use, was still attached to her sash. She didn't like it getting wet, but she'd forgotten to leave it in the cabin when she came out earlier.

"Oh right! My name's Miki!" She introduced herself with a smile. Miki then returned her attention to the course they were on. That's when she noticed the other boat. The little black boat. Miki watched it for a minute, something about it seemed a little odd. For one, it was coming straight at them, and it didn't seem like anyone was there. It unnerved Miki. Maybe it was a good thing she'd brought her sword.

"Hey Sisteen, you see that little black boat too, right? It doesn't look like anyone is on it," Miki pointed out as she steered their own boat to avoid colliding with the black one. "don't you think that's kind of creepy?"

Koto was definitely in pain from the bullet shots over his body and with this mercenary before him and a series of more birds along with the tentacles which came aboard Koto rolled on to his back, this meant the tentacles would have to reach down for him but he had a plan. He wasn't giving up so easily. As Bura made her way down the stairs towards the dinning room for her satchel to patch up Koto she mentioned to Maximoff how he was weird.

"If weird and powerful are the same thing then I am indeed." he grinned as a tentacle quickly gripped her leg and started pulling. Attempting to drag her from the ship slowly the tentacle had a good strong grip around her leg. The suction from the tentacle was strong and wouldn't be letting go any time soon. As Maximoff stepped closer he watched how Taki wasn't having any of his shit. With the kettle's rope snapping Maximoff watched the tentacle shoot towards Taki.

She launched a single slash towards it with her nails. Sending projectiles through the air towards the tentacle in the hopes of cutting it up she did a pretty good job as the tentacle. Slicing the tip up into three slices the tentacle withdraw and was cast high into the sky whilst blood spurted forth towards Taki. Sweeping the tentacle into the air it was quickly brought back down crashing towards Taki in rage. This tentacle could easily level the entire portion of the ship. The slices which Taki managed to cut up fell limp over the egde of the ship and slipped into the blue due to the rain making everything slippery and wet.

As Koto lay on the ground and the large tentacle came towards him, slithering over him and raising up whilst Koto breathed heavily and rain continued to pour down he slipped his hands towards the pouch on his front and pushed it forwards. From the contraption he'd taken from the birds a series of bullets were fired out and sent ripping through the tentacle. Ripping it apart and pumping it full of lead leaving lots of little holes the tentacle slammed down towards Koto in rage. This was surely going to end badly for Koto.

In anger at how well these small simple team was doing Maximoff wasn't having this shit and gave a command to the birds under his control.

"Finish them"

Two of the birds went to Taki and begun to circle her whilst two did the same to Koto and one went to Bura who was struggling with the tentacle around her leg.

"When Octopus Reach wants something done they get it done, that's what I don't think you understand. You are the guilty, the accused and I am justice, the wrath. And what better wrath for a pirate than that of the sea god Poseidon himself."

With a tentacle crashing towards him Koto knew he stood no chance in defeating it or stopping it. So he did the next best thing he knew he could do. Rolling on to his right side he unleashed a series of bullets unto the tentacle once more. Repeating this action a second time he noticed how the momentum stopped as it was impacting on just the right nerves. The pain made it too difficult to keep the tentacle slamming down.

Sighing with relief Koto watched as the bloody tentacle which dripped over him withdraw seeping into the water.




Sisteen took note of Miki's name and nodded. It was nice to know who you were talking to even of the fact that she didn't know where she was going at all made your blood boil. Shaking her head Sisteen started thinking how she could do a better job but she was no navigator. This was going to be a hell of a long journey. Cursing quietly under her breath she turned to Miki again and as she spoke about a black ship sailing directly at them Sisteen raised an eyebrow. She wasn't sure why they were. As Miki directed the ship away from theirs the black ship slowed down as it as passing. Coming to a perfect stand still a single man in black came to the edge with a black cowboy hat and and eye patch. Smiling as their ship attempted to drift past three ropes with hooks came shooting out.

Hooking on to the little fisherman's boat Sisteen & Miki were on the ropes quickly started pulling the ships together.

Turning to Miki, Sisteen knew what was happening. She'd seen it a million times before and was ready for it one more time.

"You best grab your sword and get ready for a fight. These guys want something and we best not let them have it. I hope your good with that sword."

As the two ships came closer and closer it was too late the gentleman with the cowboy hat had already taken a nice long jump and landed aboard their ship.

Four more men revealed themselves armed with large guns. Each standing on their own ship with aim at the two ladies. Sisteen however wasn't one to back down especially from a fight. Lifting her shotgun and taking aim at the cowboy hat man she squeezed the trigger hoping to see a butt load of blood, guts and little to no face.

She was sorely mistaken when nothing happened.

"Shit!" she muttered realizing the gunpowder in her shotgun shells must've been wet. Poor little Abbadon wouldn't be shooting anyone today. Raising her head from Abbadon to the man with the cowboy hat she saw how he held a revolver in his hand pointed at her. Rolling to the left and behind the rooms of the ship Sisteen put Abbadon back on her back and removed her Allocen.

It was time for her to use her blade and bring these bastards to their knees. Hopefully Miki could handle herself.

 
“No, you’re just weird!” Bura would shout back, continuously kicking at the tentacle that had a crushing grup on her leg. She’d dig her nails onto the deck and wiggle around, trying to break the suction off of her leg but oh her luck, it was an octopus. She would try to dick her spare hoof into the gaps in the woodwork. “Letgoletgoletgo!” she’d flail her arms after finding that it was too slippery for them to hold on to anything. She wished she had her sword, then she could turn it into calamari.
 
She noticed a bird coming toward her, it was circling around. She’d attempt to unhook her hoof away from the very small gap and jump upwards, hoping to grab the bird before it shot her. Should she be so lucky as to get it, she’d try and rip the gun device off of it. “Gimme that!” before fiddling around with it, trying to get the thing to shoot at the tentacle on her leg.
 
-
 
Her attack did quite well, her nails were sharp enough to cause flying slashes, which gave their crew some range. Though, Koto managed to get some kind of mini gun thing that was no larger than her hand. She pieces of the cut up tentacle slid off the deck and into the water. A large tentacle rose up, enough to wreck more than a little of their new ship.
 
She would jump upwards, preparing her fist as she jumped to the side of the tentacle crashing down, she briefly wondered how it could see where they were before attempting to punch it toward the strange assassin. She would try to use enough force to change its directory without it having enough force to destroy TOO much of the ship, and by too much she hoped for a small crack rather than a hole.

It all happened so fast, one minute they were trying to go around the black boat, then the creepy smiling man with the eyepatch had showed up on the other boat and now the fishing boat was being boarded. To make matters worse, they had guns. Big ones. Miki couldn't help but swallow nervously. Then, Sisteen mentioned the sword.

Sword? That's right! I have a sword! She unsheathed the blade made by her fathers hands and looked at it, then the men with guns, then over to Sisteen. It didn't seem like a good time to mention how terrible Miki was when it came to fighting. Besides, they had guns and Miki didn't.

Miki stood poised, looking at her sword for several moments before making up her mind. She would fight alongside Sisteen, even though she didn't have very high hopes of winning. The clumsy girl swung the sword and pointed it at the four men with guns, then hesitated, now what? Should she attack first or not? Miki's mind struggled with this decision. Her inexperience in fighting beginning to show.

As Bura shouted as to how weird he was Maximoff grinned. He enjoyed watching lower life forms struggle as much as they were. Especially Bura who seemed to be having a dastardly time. Clinging on tightly she struggled against the grip and the might. Kicking with her hooves she landed a few shots but nothing enough to allow an escape for her.

Tightening the grip and increasing the suction it was soon getting to that magical time when skin might begin to form marks and even if Maximoff was lucky skin would be ripped off. It was the best way to bring down an enemy. Expose the innards then release sea water into the wounds.

Whilst the enemy was in pain you could bring them down easier whilst they moaned about the pain they were in.

The bird which Bura quickly reached for attempted to leap backwards in the air but missed by a single talon which was gripped. Pulling the bird down and screeching frantically the bird had the contraption removed from its chest and spiraled off backwards through the stormy skies.

As Bura attempted to use the contraption to shoot off the tentacle it launched forth a series of bullets in quick succession before dying out after the quick shot burst. The tentacle stopped quickly vanishing beneath the ship dripping with blood.

As the tentacle subsided it was time for the bird without the contraption to get into the action. Shooting down through the air the bird shot towards Bura quickly beak first attempting to use itself as a bullet aimed for Bura's chest.

Slamming her fists into the tentacle Taki's fists landed perfectly. However the strength behind those tentacles wasn't enough to send them Maximoff's way. The tentacles shifted a little like a jolted fighter by an incredible hay maker but stopped still.

The tentacle retreated tot he side and a horrid grin over Maximoff's face appeared. The tentacles were gone. Momentarily.

Koto reached for the side of the ship lifting himself up in pain. With the bullet holes in his torso and blood dripping down his body Koto gave an almighty shout as to what he wanted.

"There is no way for you to beat us. I have as many animals as I like at my command. So all I have to say to you all is one thing. FIRE!"

With that simple notion all of the birds on Koto and Taki opened fire.

With the bullets shooting towards Koto he quickly removed the Mife.

Mife: Recurring Charge

Launching it towards one of the birds it quickly sent the bird's aim off and crossed with the bird beside's fire. Slightly sending that bird's aim off course Koto quickly sprinted beneath the two diving under them as his Mife swept back towards the first bird. Bouncing off of his back as the bird hit the floor Koto caught his Mife leaping into the air.

With the second bird turning around things were getting worse right now.

Mife: Jab

Jabbing the bird in the throat the albatross came crashing down unconscious and possibly dead. Landing in a kneel Koto smirked as he gave his final command and hopefully one which would end their situation.

"Bura, deal with these birds and the ship. Try and steer through this shitty storm towards an island north west. If we make good time we could be there in a couple of hours. Compass is hanging on the wheel, Taki deal with the monster with more tentacles and suction cups than it knows what to do with and Maximoff. Get ready for the biggest beat down of your fucking life."




Looking at Miki who had raised her sword the man with the revolver pointed his revolver at Miki.

"[color]Crimson]You try to kill us, we blow up your ship down and sail away like nothing ever happened. Do you really wish to try your luck?[/color]"

In his other hand the man with the eye patch had a stick of dynamite.

"Your choice." he said as his men held their aim on Miki's head. With Miki it was now a matter of give in and go with these men or inevitable death that she couldn't avoid from one of five men and bullets.

Sisteen however could run away easily or risk Miki's life. As she climbed atop the building section of the ship in the middle and lay flat she took a quick look at the men. She wanted eagerly to shoot them but that was an impossibility with the lack of dryness.

But she did have grenades

Reaching for one she quickly removed the pin and before anyone knew what was happening the grenade had landed just behind the four men with rifles aimed at Miki.

BOOM!

As the ship exploded and three of the men were thrown overboard the final man who managed to stay aboard was badly burnt and bloody. He simply fell limp whilst the others were thrown over board covered in blood and burns.

Even the gentleman with the eye patch was knocked forward a little with minor burns on his back. As the black ship fell into pieces and debris was sent spiraling all directions Sisteen suffered slight deafening from the blast as did the eyepatch man and without a doubt Miki would've done so too. With debris still falling and the ship slowly sinking Sisteen took action and ran towards the edge of the rooftop and pounced down on top of the gentleman with the eye patch with the Allocen in hand.

Stabbing it into the man just beneath his neck Sisteen fell on him as he hit the ground on his back grunting in pain. Their ship had taken a hell of a hit being that close to a grenade but not gifted it with a hole. As Sisteen sat on the man who lay in agony she removed the Allocen gaining another grunt.

Running a hand through her hair brushing it back as it was drenched she looked towards Miki then at the man again.

"We need some rope." Launching a full on fist into the man's face Sisteen watched as his lip burst and blood begun to trickle down only to be washed away by the pounding rain.

Sighing she got to her feet. It was time to find out why and who this guy was and wanted.
