[IC] Final Fantasy 9 - Reimagined [Private and Full.]

"Hmmm I'd also give it a go for a spar, but I kind of don't really feel like it at the moment~" Wylde stated with a whistle. She really didn't feel like fighting right now. Mostly because of her cut hair... She used to have short hair like this back in the military and frankly her body remembered it too. When used to fighting to the extend she was in order to advance her skills, one gets to pay more and more attention to every little detail. Now with her hair gone she actually felt lighter... not by much, but still enough." Yeah as I am for a day or two more, I may not be able to hold my hand even in sparring." She added." I brought out things of myself to face Beatrix... part of me that cannot hold back."

"Staff...pole... gloves...sword...rapier...lance...hammer...fork...umbrella!" Wylde stated in grand manner turning to Ritsu." Every one of those is a deadly weapon at the hands of one who's trained in it. I've seen people kill with toothpick as if it was a great blade and I've seen the greatest of poems be written in the most beautiful of handwriting with the tip of a sword. Do not underestimate any weapon. Otherwise you may suffer the results for your arrogance."

Perrin continued to softly nudge a moment longer as Hitori continued to mutter things in his sleep. He somewhat listened to the various items that were listed along the way. Most of them came off as nonsense muttering with the exception of Barbados lime and some form of salt. It made him briefly question whether or not those were actual ingredients to some kind of weird cooking recipe. Perrin was somewhat surprised by the regular fox before him his eyes briefly going wide before deciding to dismiss such. Hitori was some kind of magic user as displayed earlier in battle, and Perrin hadn’t a clue all the abilities of such. Was this a common thing?

“Silver fairies in the mist? How could you tell they were silver?” Perrin asked seeming slightly curious. “Mm’, likely there isn’t much meaning behind it, but none the less I still find it a bit interesting!” He added with a smile. He watched in slight amazement of the transformation back, but dismissed it for the most part yet again.

“Yes, yes..I was here..for something.. some reason.” Perrin looked toward the pizza which was getting cold at this point. “Oh! There was word of some form of conference somewhere on the ship. So, I came to ask ya where it is so I can drop this off.” Perrin gestured toward the pizza on the large wooden board. “I think I managed to get it down. Although I’m still a bit tempted for pineapple, but since mine are preserved in honey it would be a bit…much.”

[Shadow007]

Itzal had retired to a room while Cassius and Minerva had their sparring match, he had convinced himself that Minerva wasn't as bad as she seemed and that even Cassius had taken somewhat of a liking to her. For him, that was a good enough reason to believe in his new crew mate. After taking a short nap, he found himself restless about their departure. A part of him felt that he might not be good enough to battle along side Cassius and that nagging part of him was starting to get louder and louder as the minutes continued. He groaned slightly as he sat up in bed before sliding off it and deciding to go look for Garnet, he couldn't really explain it, but he felt almost drawn to her... Maybe it was just her power? Either way, he managed to find the princess and silently walked over to her, surprising her greatly as she had not been expecting him.

"Good evening your highness." He greeted her with a genuine, yet very feline-like smile. "How are you?"

[CAS1006]

The Lumyian would find Garnet in the sparring and rehearsal chambers where a great deal of others were gathered, such as Blank, Cassius, Minerva, as well as Wylde and Ritsu. Garnet gave Itzal her undivided attention.

"I'm fine, but what of you? You've been eating and sleeping well?" Garnet asked in a genuine attempt to show interest.

Cassius on the other hand simply scoffed at Ritsu's showboating attitude. "Except a staff can't behead a dragon or kill a Homunculous... No, but Phoenix Ashes can. Mixtures too... Only then a staff can do my job." Cassius swatted Ritsu on the backside rather carefully as he gave an affectionate hug. "You damn fool." He smiled to him. "Yet what does that make me for being with you?" Cassius slowly took a step back. "You should get a few supplies ready... We're going to be raided soon... But we at least had a few warm ups, so we won't be caught flat footed. But let me check up on the fox. Unless you wish to accompany me with such vengeful eyes." Cassius found himself poking Ritsu's abdominals before taking his leave.

Cassius found himself looking at Perrin, and a dazed looking Fox. "One moment..." Cassius cut in before taking a seat next to Hitori, stroking his head. "How is the fluffy fox doing? Or should I just call you my 'closest' friend next to others?" He hugged to Hitori quite tightly with a timid, yet calm nature to him. Almost as if something was bothering him; gnawing at him internally. "You feeling alright? We never really got a chance to talk since we been here. So... I thought we could before we are possibly chucking people from the sides of an opposing vessel."

[LookingGlass]

Hitori looked at the Pizza and it did indeed look edible, it smelled rather pleasant too but soon he was distracted from responding to Perrin out of an instinct to tend to Cassius that had never quite left, "I'm fine. Just missing the heartbeat of the forest is all, I don't think Kumiho were meant to be skyloft this long. I had a strange Dream..." He said rather seriously.

"In the Dream I was eating of an ancient beast when strange Steeple hatted people fell from heaven and brought calamity in their wake before their ruin dissolved into dancing silver coins which became fairies that fled into the mists. Then I made Drinks and woke up...did I actually make the drinks by the way?" He questioned.

He could sense something off about Cassius' emotional state, both with his gem and from knowing Cassius so long, "Is there something on your mind my cherub? You seem as if you want to say something but are hesitant."

[CAS1006]

Cassius blinked, not really surprised he just abruptly ignored Perrin spontaneous... Though it was rude by human customs, it was quite funny to Cassius, he could not help but place a hand over his mouth to suppress a laugh. He did take into account that Hitori would rather be on the ground, and to a degree Cassius agreed. But to another, he disagreed. At least in the air you could safely move over most, the only real threat they'd need to worry about in the air was Sky pirates, Bounty Hunters and Military. But with the constant popularity in ship building, it was becoming more apparent it was not just a luxury, but a threat to some.

Cassius sat straight up as he listened to the story, he blinked slightly as he was taken back. Yet he wished to not comment. "Did they have Yellow eyes...?" Cassius spoke before taking another breath. "I had a vision of such beings before coming here... But I don't know what they are or how near they will be. They are an existence to be feared though." A part of Cassius wanted to give a dismissive wave to Perrin, somethings people are just not ready to hear, even if it means it will be a trial one must face. Yet he resisted that urge to shoo him away.

"What... Is bothering me is... That thing..." Cassius exposed his neck for a moment before holding his necklace up. There was a link that looked ready to make way if hit just right, or tugged even slightly in a wrong way. "Probably should place the Gem in a leather choker..." There was a Black Gem hanging from the chain, The Gem occupied the space between that of a Crescent moon with wings around it, the Gem being in the very center to give the illusion of the crescent as a means to stand out, some might even see the gem as transparent. "Think you... can help fix it here?" There was a silent plea from Cassius' eyes. Just what sentimental value did it have? One could only wonder.

[AwesomeZero5]

Perrin was somewhat relieved to see somewhat else join him and Hitori down the halls. Only for a moment or two, before the air seemed somewhat, awkward for him to be there. It seemed Cassius went to bring in a rather soothing closeness to the other. Seeing as Cassius already here, Perrin figured that the conference of sorts had already gone by. Likely it was a short one, of which the issues on board the ship were already resolved or something of similar nature. Feeling as Hitori & Cassius were doing well enough together at the time being, Perrin decided to head off elsewhere.
It seemed no one had to send Perrin away as he was already off heading elsewhere! He wasn’t exactly sure where to tell the truth. As he would likely, pass by the kitchen and wander about the ship without any real, goal to head off to and not paying mind to the signs that were about. He’d likely end exploring to the engine rooms, which was perhaps the worst place to handle and carry about a pizza but that wasn’t really a bother.
He’d take a slice or two to eat for himself, deciding not to wait to have a slice or two.

[rivaan]

“Well you all have fun here, I’m going to go check how are things up on the main deck.” Wylde stated with a smile as she quickly started walking away and towards her destination. First reason was she felt like needing a breath of fresh air and the second was… well she just felt like bloody it! What better reason than that?

She felt a strange gut feeling that something was going to happen soon. She didn’t know exactly what it was, but just felt something was inevitable and that was just killing her. Most warriors got feelings like this now and then, feeling like a bad thing was about to happen. It not always did, but when it did go down like that, it paid to be prepared. In a way she concluded it must be an occupational hazard. After all live on near constant danger and you start expecting danger at any turn. A form of paranoia maybe? Or is it just a taught way of thinking to make sure you are prepared at every possible situation? All of those were some very good questions, questions she didn’t really have proper answers to begin with.

Finally she found her way to the main deck.” They sure did a number of the ship…” She said to herself as the evidences of the fighting could be seen even here. It was sheer luck that the ship didn’t end up crashing somewhere. They pulled some crazy amount of luck to avoid the bomb explosion thanks to Karn. Now Wylde only hope that they didn’t expend all their luck for that event only. Cause there were a lot of dangers to be had yet…

[Silver Fox]

"Technically, your blade also can't kill a flan. And some other critters out there." Blank pointed out with a smirk and a slight shrug of his muscled shoulders. "And hey, if Karn can fight with just fists and feet all the time, pretty much anything can be weaponized. Just certain things are better for certain situations." he mused.

Karn on the other hand, was on the main deck again. Ears perking a little from up above in the sails as she heard someone down below. Seeing it was just Wylde, the feline lept down, landing above the door before falling foreword. Toes pressing hard against the roofing as she hung upside down and came face to face to her crewmate. Arms crossed over her chest casually, though her left hand moved up to shift her goggles away from her eyes and up to rest on her forehead.

"Oh I'm glad you're here. Now that we're both here... This ship certainly is sailing wouldn't you say?" the feline spoke with a slight smirk at the cheesy joke she made, ears twitching gingerly as she playfully wiggled her eyebrows at the remark.

[Shadow007]

Itzal smiled softly and catlike, "I've been well, thank you your highness. How of yourself?" He asked, tilting his head in curiosity.

He had never really spoken to the princess, mostly out of fear of what to even to begin to say to her. While he pretended to show off more self confidence than he really possessed, he still had the nagging fear that he would mess up and embarrass himself, or even worse offend someone in some manner. Before he knew it, he found the sudden courage to ask, "... Why exactly are you fighting for? You do realize that... You're fighting against someone who has raised you..." He couldn't believe how far he was going with this question, but a part of him had to know. He had to know why someone would turn against their kin.

Itzal sighed heavily before bowing deeply, "Forgive me, your highness... I spoke out of place..." He whispered, starting to turn away.

[LookingGlass]

Hitori looked at the Necklace and smiled. He extended his thin tongue to taste the spiritual essence on the Jewel and shuddered in a perverse sort of bliss, "Oh my, GAHD, I almost forgot about you. Enjoying your home?" Hitori spoke to the Jewel as he reached into his sleeve and pulled out some leaves and a silver powder. He took the Necklace and began breaking it down except for the Crystal and reweaving it anew to properly house the gem, "You know that Perrin boy offered us Pizza. Do you remember when I showed you how to make Pizza? Those were simpler times dear Obsidian Butterfly. We should have accepted some, I suppose that would have been the properly polite thing to do, It smelled nice....I'm sorry but how was the Necklace broken dear Cassius? I thought I made the Bonds tighter than the promise that flames will burn." Hitori said as his long dexterous fingers rewove the bonds of the amulet.

"As for their eyes, Yellow as the Golden Kernels of Corn or the Blazing petals of a Sun Flower. Just like the Strange people of the Queens but these were those blokes who fancy themselves Crow Spirits, imagine the sheer pomp of that." Hitori just casually gossiped as they were at least confirmed they were to be in danger. Nothing is more relaxing than that affirmation, the real worry is all in fretting over if you actually are in danger or not. He just calmly continued to make the necklace whole again.
______

Ritsu walked in to see Perrin sitting by his lonesome eating pizza, "Hello Mr. Perrin, awfully lonesome place to be eating. Did you make that yourself?" The thief asked in his friendly way.

[AwesomeZero5]

Perrin had been eating through the fourth slice of pizza out of sixteen or so before someone else had walked into the engine rooms. He would quickly chow down through the remaining slice or so before returning the greeting. “Well hello there!” He said somewhat excitedly having encountered another seemingly friendly person. He would place the pizza and its current wooden board holder across his lap.

“Well yes I certainly did make it myself! The cooks did not seemed to bothered by me trying to make something although I was somewhat worried I may have missed an ingredient or two but tastes fine enough.” He would say proudly about himself. Hiding a small jar that was at his side hidden by his sheer mass alone. He had been tempted to use it moments ago before Ritsu had come in, simply because.

“Wandering around the ship for a while seemed to lead me here. So… here I am.” Perrin would shrug with a wide smirk across his lips. “Would you mind staying here to try some?” He would gesture to come over with his left hand. His eyes in turn seemed to shine expectantly.

[LookingGlass]

"I don't see why not, I'm open to trying new things." Ritsu said as he sat down next to Perrin and accepted the slice, he barely noticed the Jar that Perrin was trying to conceal but he noticed in anyways.

"This is rather tasty Mr. Perrin, what is it exactly?" Ritsu asked as he bit into the Pizza, "Also if you don't mind me being nosy whatcha got in the Jar there?" Ritsu asked as he gestured to the jar. The rest of his "Crewmates" could be a bit weird but he felt the need to at least try to get to know them on some level, he felt like he knew the Fox way too well at this point for his liking but that was neither here nor now. The Dish though was actually rather tasty, part of him thought Cassius would more than likely like it as well. He might have to try his hand at making it for his beloved some other time.

[AwesomeZero5]

Perrin was rather uplifted by having a new guest next to him. Well, not a guest perhaps seeing as the ship wasn’t his but someone else to talk to for a few moments. There was a brief moment of guilt that flashed across his face from having eaten a good chunk of the pizza but there was nothing that could be done about it.

“Thank you.” Perrin’s grin grew to the shape of a crescent. “Well, I believe it’s a pizza or that is the name that I was told. I put together a few manner of things though it’d be much easier if I showed ya how to make one than for me to list all the ingredients.” He chuckled and brushed the back of his head. The names of the ingredients’ had slipped Perrin’s mind at the moment but he well knew that he could manage to slap another one together! It was more fun to actually put the food together instead of just hearing about what it was made of after all, or at least to him.

Perrin would briefly look surprised and even a bit nervous as Ritsu gestured toward the jar and had asked about it. He would in turn try to pick it up and lean toward the sides to try and hide the contents of the jar, before trying to slide it away in his pack. “Nothing, nothing important that needs to be worried about. Just something I was thinking about doing but nothing interesting, really!” He chuckled with a slight guilty tone to it. He’d rather not reveal the contents of the jar, it may disturb the minds of those dare looked inside and connected the contents to the exact purpose!

[rivaan]

“Wow, Carn…” Wylde replied at first with a smirk.” Sure is. I just hope this doesn’t end in a CATasthrope though.” The duelist replied and reached a hand and placed it on Karn’s cheek, gently caressing it as one would with a kitten.” You sure know how to do some FLYing remarks. Just don’t let the rest CRASH into them by chance.” She continued with the bad flying&ship puns.

“Now stop HANGing around like that. All your blood will get to your head!” Wylde stated and moved close in order to catch the feline girl and help her get on her legs without much difficulty.” I have to say that I apPAW you for that jumt though! It was great!” The woman stated with a smirk.

“So my cute friend, what do you think of the princess?” Wylde asked her feline friend.” She’s a little different form what I remember, but it’s been quite a few years.”

[CAS1006]

Garnet blinked at Itzal's over exertion of formalities. She found herself breaking into a giggle, Monica was sitting there in the training room with them. She could not help but be amused.

"Worry not on what you address me as. Just like anyone else, I am but a person regardless of any burden I hold, so no need to over extend yourself to my behest and behalf." Garnet gave a proper bow with his head, leaning forward, he hands clasped together. "In simpler term; no, do not worry about speaking out of place, just look where we are." She straightened up with a gentle smile, pointing about the room. It was a quite dull room next to the rest of the ship, but it was there for the purpose of training. "Everything will be fine."

Cassius sat by Hitori, amused by his mannerisms as he always was. Sadly, he could see the worry he had for what may have been a omen. Cassius could feel his spirit somewhat shaken, to which Cassius placed a single kiss on Hitori's forehead. "I might not be the most fortunate person, but everything will be alright as long as we are willing and able to work together. But... Get ready for battle." Cassius warned him before placing his choker back on fully.

He then spoke up. "Hmm... I think I may give this to Karn... As a peace offering... And to her condition. She will not survive long without it..." Cassius thought aloud.

He pet Hitori's head one last time, he truly did love his rather close friend. He then strolled past Ritsu briefly. "That old trick again...? No preservatives can preserve that... I think he is just hiding that jar because he knows it is a spoiled... sour batch of Pineapple slices... That has no business being on Pizza..." Cassius chuckled. "Get ready for battle. I'm going to tell Baku." Cassius turned forward before strolling to the Bridge.

Baku was listening to some form of lively music from the Aether Network. Cassius was honestly just baffled he knew how to use it.
"Not to... interrupt you. But you should pull down slightly to get a few more minutes before we are attacked. Premonition and all." Cassius said flatly.

Baku took a swig from a flask and let out a Hardy sigh, Monica soon entering the room.
"He did say so in the training room... But... I'm really not sure what to think of, he's been a help thus far." Monica tried to add.

"Not questionin' his use, or his loyalty, but there are times I prefer a stray fight." Baku chuckled.

"That would not be advisable, you're a good pilot, and I think we can all agree to keep it that way." Cassius chuckled.
"Aye... Aye." Baku grinned before shifting altitude.

"Right, I'm going to prepare for battle." Cassius stated.

"Ya know, you can stick to just one outfit and not have a whole... Plethora of them." Baku chided rather playfully.

"I have my reasons you'll soon understand." Cassius spoke, his voice dying down as he walked to his room.

Baku shook his head. "Boy is a damn good actor..."

"It is as you say... I know who he is now that I saw how he is... That is Xanat." Monica stated.
"How'd he get that name...?" Baku wondered aloud.

"Needless to say... He is helping us... Just don't be surprised if he sprouts Dracovian." Monica chuckled.

"Dracovian wings... Like a Dragon or Drake...? Look, I'm not about to ask about the lad too much right now... Make him some of thar elemental explosions or whatever you call them..." Baku was referring to bomb, but his head was clearly muddled at the moment. "Why two identities? Did two just get mixed...? Eeehh... He is Cas as far as I care."

Cassius went to the top of the ship wearing a rather interesting sort of armor. He had a nice face guard that was akin to what looked like a grating; slash attacks were rendered ineffective on his head. But he looked different as he held his necklace, which seemed more like a choker. His arms and legs were fully covered in plating, but where any appendage bent, was a blue dark blue metal to contrast with the ebony mail around. There was a form of half skirt on his left leg, it was a dark fabric with a Silver moon in it. He carried a Lance in his right hand, with a metallic shield depicting the moon.

"We are about to be invaded." Cassius stated... But there was something the two girls could see easily.
He had Dragon wings sprouted out from his back... Even the armor had special openings just for them. Then there was his ears... He had them of a bat. "But before that happens... I want to give you this as an apology." Cassius placed his choker in Karn's hand. "The properties in it contain Anubis... He is bound to the gem... As well as some form of ward to help with your... condition. It won't fully prevent it... But like any medication... it can stall it..." It was clear he had some form of insight, such as part of his blood.

[Shadow007]

Itzal flushed slightly before giving Garnet a soft smile, "Yes... I believe you are right. I will trust in you and believe that everything will be indeed all right." He shivered slightly, "I suppose I'm letting my training get the better of me." He muttered softly, thinking about his old master before his thoughts went else where.

"Something's wrong..." He said suddenly, surprising Garnet. "We should meet up with Cassius... I have a feeling that he needs us." He said, already heading back to the control room. His heart was racing frantically, but he knew this time that he would not hold back in battle... That this time he would fight with everything he had. When he didn't find Cassius in the control room, he headed to the top of the ship to find Cassius with Karn, he could help but to stare at Cassius, noticing the wings and how bat-like his ears were. He swallowed slightly as his own ears lowered, he felt like he was seeing something that he shouldn't be.

[Silver Fox]

This woman was after her own heart, Karn could swear. Each terrible joke elicited a pleased amused purr from the feline. Despite how her expression remained the same, her feline ears did twitch, curving a little backwards at the gentle touch against her cheek. The blonde blinking her emerald eyes and giving another little pleased purr. Karn wouldn't admit it, but it was... difficult to feel genuine emotion. She wasn't sure if she felt anything currently. Perhaps amused. She remembered that she was pretty neutral when she met Wylde though cautious, especially since she had been a soldier once before. The feline had a distaste for those that had anything to do with wealth or power. She didn't feel hatred or anything, just a logical conclusion that she probably shouldn't care for their company. For multitude of reasons. However, now a days, she did trust Wylde enough to accept the offer of dropping into arms and for momentarily, being at the taller woman's clutches.

So Karn just smirked, releasing her hold and allowing herself to land into Wylde's arms. "Careful there, I might just FALL for you. You're quite the CATCH Wylde Flower." she chuckled a bit as she stood stretching out a little bit. Ears perking straight up at the question, Karn took a moment to think about it, brushing her left hand through her messy blonde hair.

"I suppose she's fine. I expected her to be a bit more of a spoiled brat. Decently enough in a fight. Perhaps a bit of a smartass and maybe prideful but so am I so I can't complain too much on that. Still naive however. And a possible ruler who's naive isn't exactly one I wish to follow." she responded bluntly. She didn't particularly mean to either praise or belittle the Princess, just stating what she thought. Though it was also true that she also felt that need to be cautious. More so since this time, it was true royalty, a Princess. Daughter of Queen Bitch face no less. Still, Karn would judge the young ruler for herself, not based on her heritage. Course, that didn't mean she was going to be treated any better than anyone else Karn was with. She didn't give much crap about respect given through blood like Royals seemed to get.

Her ears twitched and the hairs on the back of her neck stood up a bit. She glanced out a bit and sniffed the air. Damn. Already. Emerald eyes glancing up, she saw Ser Lummox standing up in fancy armor before joining the two women. Her expression remained the same montone, simply watching him. The insightful feline gave her a choker and her eyes examined it for a moment. "You know, I'm all for kinky shit but take me to dinner first sir." she said with a smirk before her ears flicked at his words. Tail slightly fuzzing and swishing from side to side in a gentle but perhaps irritated manner. The mention of her condition was a subject she didn't particularly enjoy.

"For what, Lummy? The friendly fire on stage? Or is this pity?" Karn questioned as she raised the choker over her head, carefully examined it with some mild curiosity. "Do you even know what my condition is? Quite SICKENING isn't it? Or did your sight just see a glimmer of what is inevitable?" she mused as she added in another joke. Her gaze turned toward the other sightseer as the kitten came outside. "Look a bit more ready for battle there Twinkle Toes." she let out a amused chuckle.

[CAS1006]

Cassius gave an amused grin to Karn's responses. "Hmm... I can't pity someone who clearly has choices. But consider it... Gifted power... But the insight did hit me in a dream. And before you joke about me dreaming about you..." Cassius chuckled, knowing that she'd twist it to some capacity. "I tend to see the future in burst... At least give who is predicted to be a friend... or at least a great ally better chances, don't you agree?" Cassius bowed his head slightly. "But I leave the... lewder things to my husband." Cassius grinned. "Now THAT is a dancer." He turned away, chuckling to the clouds. Karn could make out a rather long curved blade at Cassius' side, one that was like a boomerang... but dense, strong... and one that did not require much dexterity... Just what did he specialize in again...?

"But who of you lovely ladies is ready to help me put on a show...?" Cassius looked to the skies as he saw what looked like a rather beat up ship.

On the other vessel, there was a rather excited man in older attire; the kind that one would view as a hand me down... and to many, some saw it as a generic Pirate, included with a peg leg, in one hand he was loading a small double barreled handgun. "Ready to swhaab the deck with these Thieves!?" The voice echoed. It was clear he was very confident. The man went to grab a rather large Axe, from the reflection of the decorative steel... one could see it was a Crocodile demi human.

"Ramming speeed!" And just like that, the ship came into view, throwing hooks at the deck, and with a mechanized force, the Prima Vista was pulled into boarding range. There was variously poorly dressed men with rusted iron boarding the deck, trying to circle around the group.

"Time to swab the deck with them... Ready for act two?" Cassius gave a rather confident smile to the girls, and Itzal.
Rather than striking with his spear, Cassius threw his Boomerang Sword to the side, cutting a man off from trying to flank him, he quickly approached with a jumping dash; his wings being used to dash forward, his lance stabbing him in the knee, crippling his ability to fight, landing on him, he kicked the sword to the side, it barely moving closer to the girls. He removed his boomerang blade from the man's side, flicking any form of blood off.

A stocky man tried going for a two handed swipe at Karn's abdomen. His stance was however sloppy, and had many ways to be crippled in the fight, his leg posture wasn't ideal, elbows were spread entirely too far. Yuuup... He was dead meat.

[Shadow007]

After the pirates had rammed the ship, Itzal had to steady himself for a moment due to the fact that he was almost knocked off his feet. Even if he had been, he always had the uncanny ability to land on his feet, however he didn't like that he had been rustled from his thoughts, especially by a bunch of sloppy pirates. When Cassius gave them the call to fight, Itzal smirked as he readied himself and his scythe before he started to gain up on one of the pirates, despite his nervousness in previous battles, Itzal found himself overflowing with confidence this time.

"Hey, you!" Itzal called out to one of the pirates, giving him a nice cat-like grin as he twirled his scythe. "Wanna dance~?" He asked playfully as he got into a battle stance and waited for the pirate to advance him. He was confident that his speed would overcome the pirate and he wouldn't stand a chance against him. However, he wasn't going to believe that something amiss could happen. He had to be on his toes like always as he fought.
