Did it anyway. People, come on, I asked for your help.

Kai POV

Kai: (angry grumbling) Cool, I don't have to reveal myself just yet. Stupid cloak ability, who did I get this from? Couldn't they have made it so it stays up if I interact or attack? *sigh* so annoying

Salvager 1: Amazing...

Salvager 2: So that's how Drivers and Blades fight...

Salvager 3: So ruthless... It's like they're monsters themselves.

Rex: Nice! I'm sure glad these Drivers are on our side! You too, Dromarch!

Nia: No need to get hysterical, it was a walk in the park...

Rex: Yeah, but still...

Malos: That's enough yapping, you pair of brats. Let's move!

Nia: Tch... Talk about self-important.

Kai: (still grumbling) Yeah, that's one word for him

Rex: Gramps always taught me to respect my elders...

Nia: Elders...?

Both: Bwahaha!

Kai: (confuzzled) How in Alrest is that funny?

Elsewhere No One's POV

Bana: They make short work of monster... These no ordinary fighters. Big job in Mor Ardain going well too... There much money to be made from these people! Oho-ho-ho-ho!

Bana turns back to the monitor, a sinister smile still on his ever-smug mug.

Kai POV

We proceeded through the halls of the ship, now and then there was a small monster that would appear, though not something one of the drivers couldn't handle in a swing. We eventually came upon a large door, but there was another large, whatever the fuck these things are.

Kai: I really need to get a book on life here, I know not what these ugly ass mothafuckers are

Malos: Not planning on letting us pass, huh? Sounds like a challenge.

And so, battle themed chaos ensues

Woot! Timeskip!

We approached the large doors, but there was a crest on the door and I could sense an ether lock.

Kai: So that's why they needed Leftherians, only they can bypass this lock. Someone wants some shit buried.

Malos: Jin, check this out. There it is. Addam’s crest.

Rex: “Addam’s… crest”? What does that mean?

Jin: You. Open this door.

Rex: Me?

Jin: This door will only open to one of you people.

Kai: (quietly) As I thought

Rex: One of me? What’re you talking about?

Malos: Hurry up and do it! We’re not paying you to ask dumb questions!

Rex: What the hell…? You can’t treat hired hands like that…  Now, how do we open this thing? Oh, hey… So that was a release toggle!

Malos: Just as I thought… 

Jin: Wait! There. Open that door too. Let’s move.

Kai: (quietly) Something tells me we don't want to be here Rex...

We proceeded to the next room, where a girl was in a stasis pod.

Imagine she's asleep and not glowing

Rex: Wh-what is that thing…?
It’s a… girl…?

Kai: She's... beautiful, but she seems... melancholy, as if she lost something... or someone.

Malos: Look.

Jin: Yes. No mistaking it.
That’s the Aegis.

Nia: The… Aegis…?

Malos: Hey, brat! Don’t even think about touching that!

I looked toward Rex, who was about to grab a red greatsword.

Ignore the Switch

He grabs it, then Jin speeds over and stabs him through the heart

Rex: Huh? Ah… Hrk… Ugh…  B-but… why…?
 
Jin: Don’t take it personally. It’s an act of mercy. At least you won’t be alive to see what’s coming.

Malos: ...Ugh. What a waste of time… 

Nia: ...Jin! Why did you kill him?! Why?! What did Rex ever do to you?!
Jin!

Malos: Let’s ship out the Aegis. Nia, call the Monoceros!

The drivers left the room with the pod, and I wanted nothing more than to kill them, but Rex...

Rex: Uh… Ugh… 

Kai: I've... I've already failed.

I said a prayer over him, blessing his travels to the beyond, then ran out of the room.

Kai: (pissed) Fuck not interfering, that girl got Rex killed, I'm gonna find out why.

So this sucked, sorry it's been so long for those who are actually reading this anyway. The problem with still living in your parents' house, is that they can still ground you. So I haven't had access to my phone or a computer in a while. So yeah. Hopefully next chapter done soon, and yeah, have a good rest of whatever!
