Hitori simply waited as Pirates boarded the Vessel and pulled out several Dolls of Various Cute Animal People from the sleeve of his robes and began to mutter an incantation to them, causing them to rise.

"Hello every one, It seems like we are in a little bit of a scuffle so I am going to need everyones help. Some of you might not make it and I will cry tears for everyone of you who doesn't but know that you are all my beloved ones and that we are doing this to protect our friends. Now my lovelies, go take care of the Rabble." Hitori spoke to them the way a Parent would speak to their children in a time of crisis, both solemn yet reassuring.

The Dolls nodded and all flew with a Bright Greenish pink Fire burning in their stitched bodies out the door and towards the pirates, bearing razor sharp claws and fangs as they relentlessly attacked the invaders.

Hitori himself stood up and lightly ran his fingers over His Gem and the Gem that contained Siren, "It seems our peaceful interlude has finally come to its end, Siren." Hitori said as he pulled the long steel ribbons from his sleeves, He swished the metallic fabric and it became shard and rigid like a blade.

"Such a shame, I was enjoying the Quiet too." Siren said inside Hitori's mind as he walked after the Dolls, elegantly slicing any perceived foe as he made his way towards the others.

"Oh well my Love, we as Beggars cannot be Choosers." Hitori said with a laugh as he neatly carved the liver from one and slurped it down, licking his fingers clean before continuing on. Who said he couldn't indulge just a little, it's not like he wasn't intentionally killing them.

Ritsu heard the loud crash and thud of the intruders and shoved his piece of the pizza into his mouth as he reached into his pocket to retrieve his bo staff, extending it into a fearsome polearm as several of the pirates made their way down the corridor. With a few Nimble swings and Thrusts he had disarmed them and injured quite a few, "Heh, who do you think you guys are messing with?" Ritsu said as his eyes burned a bright Gold and his skin took on an electric blue hue. Several Phantom Arms emerged from his back wielding various blades while his hair became a wild veil of Black tendrils that seemed to float in the air, his tail had gained a more sharp and long look to it as it blackened.

He proceeded to attack the Intruders without mercy as he howled in Rage, "I am the Zapathasura! Demon King of Endless Terror!" He didn't care how many he had to kill, he just wanted to make sure he could get to Cassius before it was too late. His Trance raged on like an oncoming storm as he tore through them.

He then saw a few get mauled by a pack of flying dolls, the Fox was definitely on the same page as him it looked like. He just hoped he wouldn't be considered a threat by him as well and kept moving as fast as he could to find Cassius.

"Heh... cannon fodder~" Wylde stated as the pirates started pouring onto the ship. Some went for her comrades, some for her and some trying to go deeper into the ship to probably cause havoc inside and bring it into inoperatable status. Who really knew with these kind of no brain lowlives? She sighed and quickly pulled her rapier before in hte next moment she impacted into one of hte pirates who was heading straight to her. There was no fancy sword or foot play. She simply impacted at him with great momentum, her rapier pearcing right through him before he could act.

As she pulled back, purple energy started emitting from her right arm as she did a dash backwards with a swing, causing blood to splatter ot the side as the man's body crumbled onto the deck." Castanica! Let's give them a show to remember!" Wylde shouted as the air filled with crackling noise and above the prima Vista a huge black crack into the world itself appeared. A figure clad in darkness appeared through it, struggling against chains and cloth that were trying to pull her back inside.

"Great, so I thought! MASS SLOW!" Wylde shouted as a hateful wail filled hte air from the familiar. Dark energy gathered and spread towards all targets in her way. She was setting them for herself and Karn really. Both of them were speed oriented fighters and if your enemies were slowed it was THAT MUCH EASIER!

Perrin rolled his eyes somewhat as he stored away his jar back into his backpack. It took a moment or two because he wanted to put it away in the right spot. Seeing as he was warned to prepare for battle, he was confident enough to assume that there would be time believing in the scouting abilities of the members of this ship. He would need to go back to his room in order to properly prepare for battle which he wasn’t particularly worried about.

Perhaps he should have paid a bit more attention to the crash but his center of balance was more than stable enough to barely even notice the movement. He simply believed that the sound was some misfire or mishap in the engineering areas by a clumsy person or maybe just odd sound among engineering. He hadn’t particularly been near it before so the sounds of it were relatively foreign to him.

He had been a bit too excited to rush out and prepare in a brief moment of ill sighted action and little attention. He had dashed along the side of Ritsu and would have quickly dashed in front of him more or less as the attacks started. Perrin had been looking down toward the floor in order to better recall or retrace his steps to his cabin room. The signs were helpful, though oddly retracing steps directly had been a familiar and effective way for him to get around in the past and memorize directions. He didn’t have any particular protection from attack ready or on at the moment.

Karn had simply looked at Cassius, cocking her left eyebrow as she once again examined the choker. She didn't particularly think she had much of any choice. Death had always been in her face, threatening to pull the noose around her throat for a final time at every waking hour. Her only 'choice' was to simply end it on her own terms. The feline had dreams as well. How many scenarios she saw death was too many to count. For the most part, she's came out of it, but there was one scene that still didn't just disappear or encounter. Out of all, it was constant. Being a Miscegenation Syndrome child sealed that fate eventually. It was lucky she had survived this long just through sheer will and determination. Still, she supposed denying something that would be of use would be a fools pride so she hooked her teal scarf with her right index finger to loosen it. Wrapping the choker around her throat, brushing away the dragon serpent necklace so it wasn't in the way. Once clasped nicely around her neck, she tightened her scarf, the two other neck ornaments disappearing behind it.

Cracking her knuckles as the pirates came aboard, her emerald eyes lowered in a board 'wtf' expression as a large man attempted to attack her. But he was stumbling and blubbering about with such a shitty stance that a sloth could sidestep him. So with a bounce in her step, she easily slid out of the way, watching as he swung at air and and stood to his left. Her fists came lightning fast, her multiple attacks bluring in her pursuit as they thrummed against the large body, smashing into his ribs and stomach. Before she swung her entire body, her right leg making a full spin and forcing her heel to slam right into her opponent's jaw, causing him to blast off and smash into a pile of boxes.

Her nose twitched at the scent of blood and she gave a snort as she noticed the fox making claim on his opponents liver. Unlike her... current comrades, Karn never killed. Beat her enemies near to death to the point where they wished they were dead, but they were still breathing. She mere scent of blood made her pupils draw into predatory slits, fangs pressing ever so slightly against her bottom lip. Mind whirling and hearing what could be a mental feral snarl. Still, on the outside, she was calm. Calculating.

Grinning as Wylde casted Slow for both of their benefit, Karn gave a thumbs up. "Sure got some FAST thinking there Wylde Flower. Hope I don't SLOW you down too bad!" she smirked, taking advantage of the slow opponent as she kicked at the ground as she dashed foreword, slamming her fists against the opponent with multiple punches before flipping foreword. The heel of her left boot slamming face first into his face and smashing his skull against the ground. Once fully flipped upright, she practically lept off the man, using the momentum of the flip to propel herself to the next opponent in quick succession, flurry of fists aimed for her next target.

With the Dolls dispatching any foreign threat to the interior of the Prima Vista, the ones inside were safe, as was the tranced Ritsu.
Uptop, things seemed to not matter too much simply due to the mass slow, it... made the fight boring, not even a real struggle. Cassius himself even questioned if it was necessary to expend so much Aether for people who could hardly even heft their own blades... He shrugged as they began to even have a hard time approaching him. He bashed his shield forward into the strike of another, blocking in place of Itzel. "You won't stop me." Cassius spoke, somewhat evoking a presence as he began to concentrate. Energy seemed to build around him, several orbs with various symbols sprouted from his aura, releasing into the heavens above. "Go! Fly! Camazotz!"

A Bat seemed to swoop down from the clouds, slamming down onto an unfortunate raider, rendering him unable to fight with Camazotz' mighty claws that were that of talons. "Ehehe! Let's have a ball!" The Bat spoke, grinning almost villainous. He seemed to be enjoying himself as he deployed a shade of a swarm of bats unto another, they began to bite and gnaw a rather unlucky raider who was simply too slow to react. "Ehehe!" Camazotz waddled over on all fours, swatting the poor man, knocking him unconscious, he may have been mortally wounded, but he may yet live another day.

It was clear even with all of Cassius' armor, he truly did not wish to fight. Camazotz however was a stronger substitute, even if more of an assassin. He stood safely by Itzel, acting as his shield. He held his shield, blocking an oncoming arrow. He took a breath. "Oii... Sometimes I just want things to go smoother... But the pay better be worth it..." Cassius seemed to mutter.

From Karn's new Necklace, Anubis seemed to want out, she could feel a pulsation, almost as if the prescience was trying to communicate. It was clear he was now with her. And perhaps even a better asset.

A Crocodile like man seemed to poke his head out, looking down at the Prima Vista. "Ayye! What are you fools doing! You'sposta kill them! Not be killed by them!" He seemed to scowl.

"Go away. Seriously." Cassius looked up, to see a handgun pointed at him from the Crocodile... and there he had a vision... If Cassius could keep him talking, he'd be an easy target to pry from his ship, but it would require the help of Both Anubis through Karn's direction, as well as Hitori... Once pried from his ship, he would be an easy mark. Ship would be able to be raided in response, and possibly some fat loot.

"Ayy. What you on about!? Sky is for those free as a bird, and there is none freer than Yoizo!" The Croc gave a chuckle.

"Free as a bird, and yet dumb as dirt." Cassius retorted. "If you're free, then you realize you're free to die by that said rule, right? Birds drop dead every day, frogs croke their last, and even the most notorious some day must fall, so why not today? Besides, I'm sure someone will pay for your head. If not... Your ship surely has something worth selling. And to be fair...." Cassius' eyes somewhat flashed as he glared. "And leaving your men to deal with it?" Cassius chuckled.

This earned him a shot to the head- though the helmet that was akin to a steel grating blocking it efficiently, though the bullet drop did have a bit of gravity to it, his head jerked back, falling onto his ass. It was good of Cassius to have as much protection as he did. Anyone at this point had permission to strike at him. The Captain's right arm was pointing out, ready to open fire again. Another Arrow was fired at him - But this time Camazotz took the hit to the side, he let out a gasp that was like a cry of pain. "Eeeee!" He closed one eye as he stood near Cassius.

Itzal gasped in surprise as Cassius took a shielding position in front of him, he definitely wasn't expecting Cassius to do so and flushed slightly as his ears lowered. He continued to fight with Cassius acting as his shield when Cassius summoned Camaztoz, watching in awe as the aura build above them and revealed the great bat's form. Itzal supposed that this must be one of Cassius' true familiars.

Itzal glared at the crocodile demi-human, he was starting to get annoyed with all this as much as Cassius was, "Why doesn't he put his money where his mouth is..." He muttered, brandishing his scythe much more. He paused for a moment, sharing the same vision as Cassius, he only came to his senses when Cassius fell to the ground. "Cassius!" He shouted in panic, wondering if he should continue to fight or help his friend. He noticed that Camazotz had also been struck as the giant bat creature landed near his master's side. Itzal bared his teeth as his choker started to glow, "YOU!" He addressed the croc. "You won't get away with this!" He growled threateningly.

Wylde smiled at Karn's bad puns galore! She loved the little kitten and her puns! It was fun, kind of cute and most of all.. hella entertaining! Which kind of went with the fun part, but whoe cared. Bottomline was that Wylde loved spending her time in the amusing company of Karn. One of the reasons she stood behind with the company instead of continuing on her way. The other reason being the fact she got to dress like a teacher and beat the hell out of people while she trained them in stage fight dueling. Always a blast too~

The slow was doing it's thing as expected and needed. Her familiar was still hanging above the ships, by the chains and cloth keeping onto th constant efforts to pull her back into the abyss a her shrieks signified the mass slow being active. Still by the way those pirates were dying out it made her wonder why they attacked them even if they couldn't hold their ground in a fight.

Wylde then suddenly dashed with her huge speed and agility, as she intercepted a man going for her feline friend. She punctured into his shoulder, before pullign and stabbing him 2 more time in the neck and in the chest between the ribs." Careful, kitty Karn, otherwise you'd be pirated."

A Wall was caved in as the body of one of the Pirates was flung through it like cheap cardboard, he had been torn open and was Missing his liver but was still barely clinging to life. Rather he was still barely clinging to life, the Dolls swarmed him and began ripping him limb from limb as Hitori made his way through the hole. Hitori's mouth was covered in Blood as were his hands, every so often stray flecks of gore would stain his robes but he would simply laugh in a strange bell-like timber. He saw the Crocodile Man and Grinned, his teeth were a brilliant Crimson. He lunged at the Demihuman into the Other Vessel and Gripped his shoulders, "Hello new Friend." He said with a terrible Vibrating in his voice before moving with intense speed and Sucking his Liver out through his mouth, The Crocodile man writhing in Agony. Hitori Gulped the Liver down and let loose a gutteral clicking noise of pleasure as he did so. As Hitori let him go he crumpled to the ground of the Prima Vista and the Dolls proceeded to have their merry way with his body as they tore it apart.

"Oh Dear I must be quite a sight, how ghastly I must have looked. Siren, care du predicament?" Hitori asked his familiar.

"Thank you for asking nicely." Siren said as a Momentary Veil of Water overtook Hitori and cleansed him of all his gore.

"Much better, thank you my darling." Hitori said to the disembodied presence of Siren. He then made his way to Cassius, "Your lover boy is fine and on his way. He's displaying more arms than I can recall his kind having though and he is calling himself 'Zapathasura' like some old Monster from a fairy story. I must say I find this to be the most fun we've had in weeks!" There was the sound of child-like Glee in Hitori's voice.

_____

Noticing the opening made by Hitori and the Dolls Ritsu made his way through, still in full Trance. He watched as Hitori had delivered the blow to the Crocodile and was absolutely disgusted but thankful Cassius was unharmed. He sprinted his way up to Cassius and enveloped him in all his holographic arms as tightly as he could without crushing him.

"I was so worried about you....You aren't wearing the disguise anymore. That doesn't Matter though! You are safe!" Ritsu said as he held his love closely.

"I wouldn't say safe yet my dear Spider Monkey, These ships are going to go down whether we want them too or not and I think I can smell the Rumblies of a Few of those Rapscallions....I think we should have Strawberry Jam later!" Hitori responded.

Ritsu was just so confused, "Cassius your friend just gets weirder by the day."

Karn glanced down as she felt her newly acquired choker throb, but for now she chose to ignore it, glancing over at Wylde as she took down a man about to make a swipe at the feline. Giving a soft grin, the blonde shrugged nonchalantly. "Why thank you my dear. It would be indeed Wylde if he pillaged my booty!" she snickered in response. Green eyes flickering above at the crocodile man, she raised a eyebrow, ears flicking a bit.

"Looks like someones a little croc-chity. He better dile it down a notch." Karn hummed before calling out. "I'd have to disagree with Lummy here! Kinda looks like you, your crew, and your ship ain't worth a single shit! And that's coming from a thief!" she snickered before watching the fox go to handle the said croc. Rolling her eyes a little. Foxes. Never understood why they went crazy over the liver of all things. It's one of the more inedible parts of the body. Of any creature. Possible his kind had natural ability to handle toxins, but hey, no loss if he dies from eating them so much.

With the Captain dead, most of the other pirates retreated from them. Wasn't much of a fight really.

Wylde couldn't help but snicker as she listened to her feline friend reply in the trademarked bad pun way. It was always a joy to discover what new gem would come out of the kitty's mouth.” I would double his booty... holes if he did something like that, you know.” The white haired woman replied, dealing with a random pirate, but overall the fight has been towards it's end.” I would SPEAR him into crunchy dinner.”

With a wailing sound the giant familiar hanging above the ships by cloth and chain was pulled back inside the abyss she came from. Wylde gave her a nod and a smile, sending her on her way.' Until we meet again.' She thought, returning her attention on the situation around them.” This was as unsurprising and unimpressive as expected...” She mumbled as she felt a coldness for a moment before all returned to normal as the last bits of her familiar's energy vanished.

“Sometimes I wonder if life's worth the... wait a second...! Karn, who said you can call me 'my dear'!?” Wylde suddenly stated, turning towards the feline friend of hers.” I'm the one who calls others my dear! During training sessions! Don't steal my role!” She stated with a smirk and joking voice.

Itzal blinked in surprise as Hitori completely destroyed the pirate captain in a single blow, he had honestly hadn't expected that to happen... Though thinking back on it he probably should have. He knew that Hitori was in a relationship with Cassius, why wouldn't Hitori come rushing in to save his beloved. In any case, he could relax now that everything had calmed down and nothing had been stolen off the ship and there had been no casualties on their side.

"Are you all right, Cassius?" Itzal asked gently, helping him back to his feet. "We were certainly lucky that Hitori came to the rescue..." He said with a hint of bitterness. It wasn't like he couldn't have fought that pirate captain if he didn't want to. But, he decided he'd let this one slide... He honestly didn't want to be on Hitori's bad side. He swallowed slightly as he looked over Hitori, wondering if he would find a partner who would be so handsome and willing to come to his side. He shook his head, lowering his ears, feeling a bit ashamed of having such thoughts about another's lover. Honestly, he really had to get himself together.

Cassius found himself embarrassed with himself. He yet again did not feel very useful in the situation. He knew it would be dangerous all around even if he didn't fight. But something about not being able to do much exhausted him internally. But the sight of Hitori did give him some form of relief, and then the many arms of the entranced Ritsu. He wrapped his arms around him, though his grip wavered due to feeling like a weak link... He paled in comparison next to anyone on the ship. Maybe this line of work just wasn't for him. But slowly he picked himself up, standing with Ritsu. "I'm fine. Just..."

Camazotz slowly pulled the arrow from himself out before wondering over to the remains of the Captain Hitori effortlessly turned into Demi human sludge... Camazotz seemed to be regenerating as he too dug into his remains as a natural predator. After a few moments of devouring some of the remains, he pulled the double barreled handgun from the Captain's hand, bringing it to Cassius. Camazotz seemed to want some form of reward. Cassius slowly stroked his head as the bat smiled awkwardly. At least Cassius knew how to use a gun... But that does not mean much to most.

"Camazotz, clean up the deck will you? I don't think others need to deal with this... Hitori... Can you have your... dolls maybe help clean the insides of the ship so the repair can be made, that is if there is any damage? We don't want this ship exceeding more damage than it needs." Cassius requested. He looked to Itzal. "I'm fine, just... I wish I was a bit more useful past just having many things to throw at others."

With this, Cassius returned below deck to see Baku, as well as their progress.
"We cleared the Raiders out, there Captain is dead, as I have his Arm here." Cassius held out the Pistol he acquired.

"Hmm... That Arm belongs to Daigo, Should fetch a pretty penny... That is if you're a bounty hunter." Baku stroked his beard. "Nice job lad, the others?"

"They did fine, no one was hurt in the attack... Just the Raiders who seemed to lack any form of skill." Cassius stated. "However, there is quite a mess of deck..."

"Was it that damn Fox?" Baku grinned to himself as the ship went a bit higher in the sky.

"Yes, he killed that man in an instant. The girls did well as you can imagine." Cassius placed the Gun to his side.

"Alright. Good. But do yourself a favor..." Baku began. "Enough with the million outfits, I get that the Regent wants a professional in this work... But... You stick out like a sore thumb with all these outfits. I suggest you settle down soon. But how did you do up there? Aside from the clear fact you're alive." Baku asked.

"Defended for Itzal, Took out about two men myself, and my Familiar took out quite a few. But... This gun did knock me down." Cassius admitted.

"I'm not your dad, but you probably need to decide on what kind of.... armor you're going to stick with rather than situational clothing... You jump back and forth, that isn't trying to get a grip, that is just improvising... While Improvising can be great, much like in actin' lad, but you can't do it forever. My advice is to dress light, but carry a big gun, and a blade to back you up... You seem to be better with a Firearm anyhow..." Baku chuckled. "Also... Dismiss your magic wings... I know they are not really part of you... you fooled us twice, but stop. We're allies, so be clean with us."

"As you wish..." Cassius lamented conceding he had a point as his wings seemed to vanish from his body.

"Now go see the Princess, I bet the lass is lonely." Baku grinned to himself. "And... We'll be in Treno tonight... So best prepare... You can't take everything with you."

Great, now he actually had to evaluate what he was going to keep, and what had to be left. "Okay... Fire Arms... And a blade... I'll keep that in mind... I have good mobility... not the best agility... I'll figure it out... Cassius thought to himself as he paced to lower below deck. In the training room he found Garnet staring over the deceased body of Minerva...

Garnet's expression was wracked with grief.
"Garnet..." Cassius began. "Perhaps I should have been down here..." There was a sense of guilt he felt looking at her so down trotted as she was. But it was simply not in his control.

"Mr.Svent... It's... No one's fault... The Raiders... They cornered us and so she fell..." Garnet was on her knees, holding Minerva close to her. "I won't let her death be for nothing... I will make it to Lindblum and prevent this war... I must... I ask you bring Hitori to me... The Kumiho here as well... He could maybe give her a proper farewell..." Garnet sniffled.

"Oh my way..." Cassius made a quick turn, and yet there was another loss in the corner... he saw the dead body of that of Perrin... He didn't know him too well, but he felt a horrible sense of responsibility as if this too was his fault.

Cassius took a breath and concentrated, relaying thought to Camazotz.

"Hiiiitorrri." Camazotz' screechy voice projected on the deck. "Weeee will be arrrriving on Treno Sssooon. But you're needed below deck... Cassius found Bodies... The Princess is safe."

Hitori nodded at Cassius' request as he told the Dolls to Assist in Tidying up the place. He watched as Ritsu began to calm down out of his trance state and noticed he seemed exhausted, he may not particularly like Ritsu but he wasn't about to have Cassius worrying for no reason over that Monkey; reaching into his robes he pulled out an Apple and offered it to Ritsu, "It's not much but it will replenish you a bit. You burn too brightly for something so supposedly empty." Hitori said to him with a bit of concern in his voice.

Ritsu took the apple slowly and accepted the strange truce Hitori was trying to offer, "Thank you Hitori." He said as he bit into the apple, amazed by how sweet and juicy it was. Hitori just smiled silently.

One of the Dolls returned and whispered a high-pitched garble into Hitori's ear, Hitori's eyes widened as he sighed dejectedly, "Oh dear...I liked them though..." Hitori said as if he was disappointed someone had left.

"Liked who?" Ritsu asked as he took another bite of the apple.

"Apparently this little one said that the Princess found Lady Minerva and from the sounds of it we might have other casualties." Hitori said as he heard Camazotz call for him. He sighed as his hands glowed a faint teal and fresh young vines began to grow from beneath his skin and wrap delicately around his arms like long gloves.

Following the Doll Hitori found the Princess kneeling next to the body of Minerva, "My Lady, you requested I make her part of the Garden didn't you?" Hitori said solemnly and respectfully. He could smell the stink of the death of his Comrades and could tell via his gem when Cassius essence was along with the emptiness that was once a living being, there would be beautiful gardens that traveled the skies today.

____

Ritsu's eyes widened as he went to find Camazotz and Cassius, it wouldn't be too hard considering they were rarely far from one another, it was soon then he saw Cassius standing over the corpse of Perrin, still with his can of Pineapple and his homemade pizza spattered with his own blood now. He didn't know Perrin all that well but he still felt bad that the poor guy was slaughtered like that. He also felt like he could have prevented his death had he not been so quick to run to find Cassius but he tried to banish that notion, there were far worse things he had done in the name of his love but it still made him feel like there was something he could have done.

He turned to Cassius, "Do you ever sometimes think we might have signed up for more than we thought we were going to be dealing?" Ritsu asked Cassius, trying to lighten the mood somewhat.

Karn flicked her feline ears and gave a innocent grin, shrugging as her fluffy tail flicked back and forth with amusement. "My my my, guess you caught me like a dear in a flash spell." she snickered softly. [b]"And hey, I'm your senior here so I can call all of ya'll dear."[/color] she smirked, giving a hearty laugh. Her ears perked as the others went to check on 'her highness' and gave a little grunt, ears twitching and tail flicking and thumping about in mild annoyance. She'd let them handle her though, just meant she didn't have to exactly deal with her. As long as they get the job done, it's all she cares about.

"Mhmm Treno is the first stop mhm? Could pick up some supplies. Maybe gamble a little." Karn grinned.

Time had passed before the Prima Visa had landed. The Princess gathered her bearings before placing on her White mage like robe. She had medium weighted armor under her clothing... she was putting Minerva's armor to use... She died to protect her, and she'd honor the armor until she could no longer hone it.

"Heh, almost forgot what the land would feel like, ey lads?" Baku joked about. He looked to the crew as they were moving materials about, and then he saw Cassius in his room, he wore an assortment of revealing, veiled liked attire. Cassius sighed.

"I look ridiculous..." he blushed under his veil. "There is no way this is going to work..." he looked to see Baku there, he was inspecting him carefully by the looks of it. "Uhh... Something up...?"

Baku then grinned. "Ya know, you an tha' princess could say you're with the church... Guaranteed a pass to gate... and after some walking, could get to a city bound transport...You'd be closer to Lindblum in no time..." he grinned even broughter. "Maybe you could show Karn how to be a lady..."

This earned Baku a well deserved slap, his whole head spun around as he was seeing stars...
"You kinda had that coming..." Cassius scoffed, his hand was hurting after that.

"Ayye..." Baku rubbed his burning face. "Tha' I did... Tha' I did..." he huffed, trying not to laugh... but he did expect it oddly enough... the hit was exactly what he wanted too... it told him everything he needed to know from when he joined up with them, his experiences. Cassius resolve was stronger, even if his hit was more or less not as hard as it could have been. "Just sell the junk... and keep tha' gun from Daigo... Ya should be safe on ya ways. Now get to the stage area, thas' how we letting ye' down." Baku gave him a nod before helping carry the drunk, and cases that belonged to him, and Ritsu.

The Princess was on the stage; she was sitting in a large boat where the others were to gather. The trunks were placed into it.

"Seems we are a pair of the Clergy now." Cassius joked.

"Hmm... a step up from thieves." Garnet joked, cracking a smile under her hood. "Though you look like a traveling Medium... your story is you seek purpose in the singing ministry of Tepestra... And you aid me, a maiden of such." Garnet received a nod as they stared at the prepetal night sky above them.

Treno itself was a city full of discord; beautiful to look at, full of nobles in the upper-city, yet... it looked as if it would be over run with ragamuffins. Which was fitting given the reputation that proceeded it.

They were not very far from entering the city however. Once there, they'd sell Cassius attires, and trick weapons for supplies, as well as gate passes if they needed to bribe anyone. They made due with what they'd have.

Itzal stared up at the night sky as the boat was lowered, the tip of his tail flicking as he sat on the edge of the boat.

"Something tells me that there is only going to be more trouble ahead." He muttered, mostly to himself as he looked over at Garnet as Cassius. He wasn't really in high spirits of traveling to Treno and he wasn't really going to explain why.... It would just bring up bad memories for him. Though, he half wondered if his previous master was residing somewhere in the city still, the thought gave Itzal chills up his spine as he adjusted his hood to obscure his face from the rest of the party. He glanced down fiercely at the water, looking at the reflection of his beautiful face that his master much adored. He shook his head slightly, trying to forget about the past and move forward into the future as his teammates were planning on doing. He sighed as he elegantly stretched out his legs, "So, what's the first plan of action once we reach the city, Sir Cassius?" He asked, laying out like a lazy house cat, grinning as such.

"There is much to do in Treno... Though I doubt we'll have much fun~" Itzal said with a slightly snicker. "Unless that's what Sir Cassius would like to do so."

Hitori weaved his glamour to make himself appear as a Mother Superior Nun, old and hard with Time but somewhat matronly and stately, His Teal eyes and his Gem were the only things that gave away he was Hitori but these things would not be looked for by outsiders.

"Fun Gives way to Idle Thoughts and Idle Thoughts lead to Idle Hands and Idle Hands Play the Devil's Flesh Clarinet! There is no time for fun in our most clandestine of Holy Crusades, we are on a Mission to save the Souls of everyone on Gaia!" Hitori said in a holier in thou way before turning to Cassius, "Was I in character right?" the Disguised Kumiho asked his dearest of friends.

"I guess you could say that, complete Nutter and Holy Roller is more like it." Ritsu said as he donned a set of Robes that made him seem less conspicuous, still wielding his staff.

"And what exactly are you supposed to be Mr. Macaque?" Hitori commented on Ritsu's choice of attire.

"Militant Security for our so called Clergy." Ritsu replied deadpan before lowering his hood, "Come along then Mother Superior, we have souls to save." Ritsu teased Hitori, Hitori just flipped him off which looked rather Comical coming from a Nun's body.

Cassius felt his face want to contort at how out of hand it had gotten. Hitori's appearance made him laugh, but the moment he spoke... he just lost it internally. He actually was tempted to kill himself for a moment. "Flesh... clari... Just fucking no... Mother Superiority... if you say that again, I will use my horrible Gypsy mumbo Jumbo on you and send you to the shadow realm... or whatever they do."

Garnet felt herself resisting the urge to laugh, he hand covered her right eye, the rest of her face obscured by the hood as she dipped down from laughter erupting. "Please no." Was all she said. It was clear Hitori could make someone laugh, even if at the most obscene of times. It took her a few moments to straighten up. "Mother. That is talk of the devil, and thou should repent for thy sin."

"God damn it." Was all Cassius could say in response.

Meanwhile, in other parts of the ship, Monica was packing her things as she was getting ready to come with. She had to return back to the city, but she had her own pass. This would make it so they could get to Lindblum once they made it past the Alexandrian checkpoints. She was filling flask with potions for everyone. Accidents could happen at any time, it was best to be safe than sorry.

And then there was Chauncey, he waddled over with a whole burger in his mouth, chewing rather happily. He was a silly crocodile, but it was hard to feel he meant any harm.

"Monica lass, can you take Chauncey with you?" Baku spoke from beyond the Woman's room.

"What...?" Was all she could say.
"Ya heard me, take me' Crocodile with you. Trust me. He wants to go anyway."

"You... Can't be serious." Monica stopped a moment, almost spilling a mixture in confusion.

"He's an animal that wants to go. 'Sides... He does not belong to me... A certain someone might want to sit with an old friend anyhow... Jus' take him."

Monica took a moment to straighten up, her hands extended forward as she exhaled, pushing herself from her seat, packing the rest of her containers. "Alright... But only because I owe you. But you be safe you blowheart..."

Baku smiled himself before calling to Karn and Wylde. "Alright Sunshines, get on the boat."

Monica and Chauncey soon joined the others, she looked awkwardly at Hitori before exhaling. "Hi..."
Chauncey stared at them with hopeful fat eyes.

Cassius took a moment, nodding. "I'll explain everything once the other two get here."

"Well enough..." Wylde stated as she was called to get on board. Now that she had changed her looks to a point, she suspected there shouldn't be too much chance for people to recognize her right away. Besides her old pictures from the military days didn't look like her anymore much either. They should be good on her front at least. That said her companions weren't exactly in the same boat so to speak. She sighed, in teh end of hte day if someone tried to confront them, they'd simply beat them into oblivion and that would be that.

"I wonder how long it has been since I was visiting a place not for specific job." She wondered as she hopped on board and took a seat. Last few years she never seemed to have enough free time. Now that htey had a princess to guard and so on, it somehow felt less work like and more adventury.

Karn had studied what disguise to wear, shrugging her shoulders as simply attached a black cape around her neck, clasping the front to her shoulder so it covered a good portion of her body. Wrapping her fluffy tail around her waist to look like a belt. Ears twitching against her messy blonde hair, the feline demi-human gave a soft mhmm before taking a teal scarf, pinning her ears down against her skull before wrapping the piece of fabric around her head to help cover some of her looks. Well, at least it will be a little more difficult to tell who she was now.

Walking after Wylde, Karn glanced toward the taller woman before plopping down to take a seat beside her. Hands behind her head in a casual manner. Resisting the urge for her tail to wiggle. "Eh it's not so bad right?" she mused, closing her emerald green eyes as she simply listened. This job sure turned a bit adventurous. Still, Karn wasn't particularly happy about having to escort royalty, but a job was a job in the end.
