Universal Spiral

Chapter 18/ Viekona, Law of The Jungle

After about 3 days of travels across the expanse of the Universe, The crew awaited in the lounge, with everyone watching Resukata vs Shandy...In Chess...The two in the heat of conflict as they noticed the respected crowds that had gathered behind them. Each one behind their respective player was rooting for their victory, with Encie and Gedo behind Resukata, and Desuray and Cindry behind Shandy, each party quietly but fiercely examining the others moves. Moving his king back, Resukata knew he was in checkmate from Shandy's extra Queen and Bishop; however, Resukata knew if he could get his own Rook in a position to checkmate Shandy's King, that would lead him into an advantageous and potentially game ending state. Resukata shakingly gripped onto his rook, examining all of the places on the board, all of the pieces positions, and noticing a slight quake against the playing board, analyzing the shaking and trembles of the pieces placements all across the checkerboard.

"Uh..."

Resukata noticed before anyone else, quickly looking over to the cockpit.

"H-HEY JET, EVERYTHING GOOD IN THERE!?"

Resukata shouted, watching Jet walk into the main lounge area.

"Yup, everything's good, just might want to brace yourselves...Weeee might've forgot to install new brake systems into this thing..."

Jet stated, causing everyone in the room to slowly look at him with a perplexed and horrified gaze. Gedo, instinctively wrapping her tail around Encie's waist, formed her Ultima Staff, extending each end to press against the ceiling and floor to keep balance. The ship began to tilt and lean, the shaking growing more and more intense. Cindry activated her Demon-Mark, growing her wings once more to wrap one around Desuray, and the other to form around Shandy, utilizing him as a stable support beam. Shandy looked at her with an almost betrayed gaze, deciding to extend his own rocky arms to press against the ceiling and floor, transitioning his rocky being into a somewhat functional pillar to keep balance.

Veikona Palace; ???

Walking through the pillared room filled with torches and tribal men speared against the walls in gruesome and horrific ways, some crucified into the stone marble that made up the pillars, and some simply jabbed through the hearts into the stone of the room itself, the man with the feathered shroud walked through, taking careful steps as to no step anywhere near the corpses of fallen warriors that aligned the hall.

"M'lord...There's apparently a ship falling from orbit as we speak-"

"I know..."

The booming voice answered back, with the man in the feather shroud watching as his lord formed before his eyes, the throne of wood and stone forming clouds and winds from a gaseous state, almost as if he himself were a gaseous cloud. The cloud formed a face, lightning storming and crackling from the form he took. The face opened its eyes, gazing at the feathered shroud man bowing before him, a crow mask protecting most of his features.

"I already have them entrapped in a Hurricane as we speak...Damn trespassers..."

He cursed, scoffing at the idea.

"B-But m'lord, what if they're Galore Affiliated-"

"Show them our dominance then, It's their death wish to disturb a god such as I whilst I was in slumber, right?"

The cloud laughed and mocked, chuckling to himself as the feathered man continued to bow.

"Corvus...Go find the remains of the ship, bring any of their valuables to me."

The cloud commanded the feathered man. Raising his gaze upward, Corvus nodded in agreement to his lord's wishes, disappearing in a cloud of Crows that scattered and flew out from the hall that seemed to linger in the sky itself, the wide walls utterly nonexistent to allow the display of the sky befall those who step foot within his divine throne room.
