Marco's ship blasts through the water, cannons firing. Y/N warps onto the deck, guns blazing.

Y/N: Alright, listen up! We need to take this ship down, now!

Tari: Y/N? Where did you come from?

Y/N: No time for questions, kid. Let's move.

Marco takes out a few crewmates, laughing.

Marco: Your loot is ours, you bottom feeding scrubs!

Y/N: Not if I have something to say about it.

Tari fires, accidentally hitting Marco.

Tari: Sorry! You're moving around a lot!

Lamar rushes to heal Marco.

Lamar: It's all good. Nothing I can't patch up. Now get back in there, man!

Lamar turns to Tari.

Lamar: Tari, you're a sharpshooter class, right? Maybe you should just... hang back a bit.

Tari: Lamar, just because I don't have my Meta Runner vision doesn't mean that I can't—

Tari gets blasted off before she can finish.

Lamar: Theo, go for this team crafter!

Lamar spawns a spring for Theo to launch himself up.

Theo: Let's-a-go!

Theo lands and takes out a crewmate. Tari struggles to get a kill, but Y/N steps in, guns blazing.

Y/N: Leave this to me, kid.

Marco: Yes! Whole crew down! Their loot is ours, boys!

Y/N: Not so fast, Marco.

Y/N warps to Marco, knocking him down.

Y/N: We need that loot. It's our ticket to finding Lucinia.

Marco: You're just as annoying as ever, Y/N.

Y/N: And you're just as predictable. Now, hand it over.

The enemy ship, now Marco's ship, takes off. Y/N warps onto it, chasing Marco.

Y/N: You're not getting away this time.

Marco: Try and stop me!

Y/N fires, hitting Marco's shoulder.

Marco: Damn it!

Y/N warps back to the others, loot in hand.

Y/N: Got it. Let's head to the hub city.

Sofia: Don't worry, Tari. I'm sure once we get you some better gear at the hub city, you'll get a lot stronger.

Tari: Oh, this city better be good to make up for how bad I am...

Tari aims her sniper rifle, looking through the reticle.

Tari: Whoa...

Y/N: What's up, kid?

Tari: I spotted the main hub town. It's not too far off.

Y/N: Perfect. Let's move out. We've got a mission to complete.

They set sail towards the hub city, determination in their eyes.

Y/N: Stay sharp, everyone. We're not out of the woods yet.

Tari: Got it, Y/N.

Lamar: We're with you, man.

Theo: Let's do this!

The ship docks. Y/N jumps off, scanning the area. Everyone follows, Theo knocking over a pedestrian.

Lamar: Alright, we're here! Tari, welcome to—
