~Speaker's POV~

[Vertin] - It's raining.

*Drop!*

[Vertin] - ... No. It is not.

*Droplets of rain splashes*

[Vertin] - The storm is coming.

*Timeskip to a bombarded pirate ship*

[Regulus] - What's wrong?! What's happened?

{Meet Regulus the brat- I mean pirate!}

[APPLe] - There is a huge black ship behind us. We're under attack!

{Meet the mysterious flying apple!}

[Regulus] - Bloody fish hell! Turn off the microphone!

The two figures loomed over the railings of their now broken ship as they spotted a "ship" with Bridges(?) and cannons with veins. Bewildered Regulus looks around as if to confirm if she is seeing things but the thing is that she is alone. Except for the two hostages she kidnapped and a floating Apple fruit with a bowtie.

[Regulus] - A bridge ... cannons with veins ... What the hell is that!?

[Regulus] - You gotta be kidding! I just played a song?!

[APPLe] - Captain, it's the icon of the Manus Vindictae!

The wind is wuthering.

[Regulus] - Manus Vindictae? Those terrorists?

[Regulus] - Is it because of my "little thing"? Or ...

[Regulus] - I get it ...

Regulus' face darken as she went to her framed "Hostages" and she kicked the door down as she went inside to face them and potentially ask a halt on further bombing her boat. Sadly she will have bad news I'm afraid.

[Regulus] - Your accomplices are here!

[Regulus] - Remember, you are still captive of this pirate! Get them to hold the fire immediately, otherwise ...

Alas, another bomb hits the ship. The smell of gunpowder and sparks soon fill the air due to it.

[Regulus] - *coughs*

[APPLe] - We're sinking. Please be ready to abandon the ship, my captain.

[Regulus] - Whoa ...

She scrambles to dispel the mute incantation on the captives.

[Regulus] - Hey! Hey hey! I can hand you over ... but please don't break my ship!

[Regulus] - My records are my treasures ... No violence!

[Regulus] - Say something if you can hear me. Hey!

[Male investigator] - ...

[Female investigator] - ...

[Female investigator] - *coughs* ... We don't know them. We've tried to tell you.

[Male investigator] - We're the investigators from the foundation.

[Female investigator] - You got the wrong people.

[Regulus] - Ahh ...

*BOOM!*

[Regulus] - Protect the records!!
