A big Ship sails smoothly on top of the vast Ocean.
Alicia, while on top the deck of authority, lays watch as her crew go about their businesses, making sure the Ship is steady.
The sky darkens, thunders clap and lightnings strike.
"Here we go again. Him!" She says in heart while referring to Baki.
"He won't let me be! I swear he's after my life. Always tormenting. I wonder what I did to him." She continues in her mind.
She takes a stance and leaps over.
"Alright guys, since Baki has decided to curse me, you will take part!" She orders and lands with steeze.
"So hold steady!" She adds.
There and then, the crew move in the highest of speeds to the different areas of the ship, to ensure that things are put in place.
A few buttons are pushed and eventually, a lever pulled down.
The ship turns off and a man takes over the helm.
"Be attentive Kuro!" - Alicia.
"Yes, Captain!" - Kuro.
The ship bounces; left, right, up and down. The crew on top stagger and water surges in from the right.
It hits and pushes some of them as well as Alicia to the left.
They scream while moving.
Alicia and four other, hit and fall over.
"Captain!" They call and she breaks into the water, alongside them.
They struggle to get up and eventually do so but the ship is long gone.
They watch from it's behind.
"Turn on the Ship this instant! Let's go get them back!" - Kuro.
"That's impossible! Our Ship won't take it!" a woman says and Kuro becomes the more disturbed as he holds a strong grit.
Four waves come in and send the five flying all over the place. In the process, two drown and the remaining three, reach the surface.
Alicia then looks at her Ship as it struggles to maintain balance.
Kuro struggles as he holds strong to the helm.
"Fuck it, pull up that damn lever!" He commands.
The woman that adviced earlier, falls down, quickly gets up and runs towards a door. It opens and she enters.
She appears in a flash before the lever and pulls it up. The Ship comes on.
"Is he mad?!" - Alicia.
"Good!" Kuro says and makes a hard turn to the right.
Five lightnings simultaneously strike down and put them in a state of fear. A heavy thunder comes forth and bounces the ship and finally, a great gust wind from the east that halts the ship from completing the turn.
Kuro tremendously struggles.
"Don't force it Kuro, it's already impossi-" she says and gets interrupted...
"Shut up, Jika!" - Kuro.
She becomes startled.
"She's waiting for me!" He says as he refers to Alicia.
He then makes a loud scream and the ship completely turns.
The crew rejoices.
Alicia smiles as the other three in far points, jubilate.
The Ship goes into the water twice and comes out, wobbles to the left and to the right but continues to surges.
On the way, by the front right, the water becomes disturbed.
The crew, Kuro, Jika, Alicia and the remaining three become curious.
The water continues to shake and suddenly, it sprouts with power.
The crew, Jika, Kuro, Alicia, and the remaining three take cover with their arms to their faces and closed eyes.
They eventually open them and what they see, terrorizes them.
Before is a Great Sea Dragon.
It breathes white and black flames from the mouth.
The mouths of everyone open.
It sends a powerful blast towards the Ship.
"Hard to Port!" - Jika orders and Kuro makes a hard turn to the left.
Wind blows in from the west, collides with Ship and holds it still.
"Oh no!!!" Alicia screams.
The blast then clashes with the ship and destroys it.
The crew, eighteen of them; men and women, including Jika and Kuro, all sink deep into the Ocean.
Alicia and the remaining three are frightened as the Dragon watches them.
It comes closer and they scream for their lives.
The Dragon then exhales white fire from its nostrils and dives back into the Ocean.
They relax.
"Whew."
Not so long after, a giant vortex appears.
They notice with wonder and get sucked in.
As the suck-in carries on, they scream out their lungs in fear and a little while later, they get completely engulfed, leaving no traces of existence.
The weather clears up and the curtains close.
Later in the day, the hot afternoon.
14:23
Alicia washes up on the shore of an island. She comes to, coughs out sand as she gets up and stands up.
|Gege Nation|
"Oi, Taicho! (Hey, Captain!)" Kuro calls by her right.
She looks and sees him as well as some of the crew behind by the sides, doing their own thing.
(Six of them)
"Oh, Kuro!" She says as she walks towards him.
She shakes his right hand with hers. She looks to her sides and behind.
"Uh, where are they?" - Alicia.
"Who?" - Kuro.
"The people I fell with." - Alicia.
"Oh, they are dead I guess." - Kuro.
She takes off her hand and looks towards the Ocean.
She becomes down.
"You didn't have to go this far, Baki." She says in her heart.
They move forward and into the Town.
After a few hours, they are before a huge building.
17:45
The Sun gradually sets.
The door opens and a woman walks out.
"Welcome. You are have been expected."
Alicia, Kuro and Jika gulps as the crew look up to the setting sun with open mouths, leaving off weird noises.
Alicia, Kuro and Jika are accompanied by the woman by their right as they walk in the gloomy, great corridor.
They tremble in fear as they do so.
"Why do you fear?" the woman asks.
Esther Gohk
Age: 26
Host.
"Fear? Who told you that!" Alicia forces out.
"The allegation!" Kuro declares and Jika heavily clears her throat.
Esther then smiles as she watches Alicia.
Alicia notices and grins.
She blushes on sight.
"She's so dazzling." She says in her heart with a tilted neck to the right, closed eyes and with a warmer smile.
They reach a point and Esther stops.
"I won't approach any further." She says as the three move forward.
They stand before a distinguished door.
Suddenly, they get taken in with a push of a light flash and now, they are before a man that is sitted on a majestic chair inside of the shadows.
They give off a loud gasp.
