"There she is!"

You heard the click of a gun as you rounded the corner. You had accidentally mistaken a Marine Base for a bar when you carelessly warped yourself into its front door. The marines had caught on as they saw you smile to yourself, taking the situation in stride as you began running. Fighting didn't seem appealing today, but having a little fun running away did.

How they chased and chased you through the metallic corridors, their base captain even joining in as you dashed. But a corridor you had run down was stopped short by a door. You gave a smirk over your shoulder as the group of gunners came behind you, shooting away.

"You're obsessed with me!"

"Silence, Mockingbird! Surrender!"

You pouted. You weren't even classed as a pirate and were no longer considered a Revolutionary. They were just being mean. Backing away and avoiding the bullets as you slid left and right, the doors behind you broke open as you walked backward. Your mocking eyes and taunting smile stayed but your mind questioned the sight you saw; the marines lowering their guns with surprise. You were hit with a gust of wind at your back.

"What's wrong, boys? Cat got your-"

And you fell.

A balcony had hit the middle of your back and you accidentally tipped over the edge. Your eyes went wide as you saw the men gaze down at you from the jutted out platform before your back smacked against something.

The sea.

A stone, that what you had become.

The shouts of marines coming to haul you up and arrest you fell deaf on your ears as you grinned manically.

'Oh? This is exciting.'

It hurt.

Everything hurt.

Your head, your legs and mostly your hands.

It definitely felt as if a massive ten ton weight held your head downwards as you began to come to your senses, muffled voices being picked up by your ears which held the sound of your heart's rough beating.

"How did the guards not realise she was on board?"

A pang of pain surged up your arms from the palm of your hand. It felt almost as if something was piercing through it as you hands were captured above your head. Normally sea prism would only make you mildly drowsy and enough to still fight almost full blow, but this time you felt that the thing holding your hands to the wall was a little bit stronger than usual.

Maybe because of your state: beaten.

'Sea prism... Another day for Magellan's talks, eh?'

You paused, cracking your neck lightly before shifting where you were sat.

'No, that irritating voice doesn't sound like the warden-kun.'

Opening your eyes slowly as the light of what seemed to be a room blinded you, you realised that you were in some sort of barred cell. But past the bars which held you, it seemed that you were in some kind of library as books of all types, old and new, lined the walls.

"That no longer matters. The intruder is now-"

You observed as two men turned to look at you. One was shaped almost like a lightbulb that was turned upside down with a funny looking hat and pale skin, cheese-coloured hair fraying out from under it. Was he some sort of scarecrow? The next was extremely tall and well built. His hair was oddly styled as was his spiked beard. Something about his extremely built body and hot-headed sneer that perched on his face made you feel like you had been met with his aura before.
