[F26 | PP] The Sky is the Limit <<Trouble at the Skyport>>

[Katoka 0]

She knew he meant well, but watching Freyd crack Ulric over the head for over twice the amount of damage she did previously made her eye twitch ever so slightly. She was frustrated. The samurai knew deep down that she was strong now, much stronger than she had been in the past. However she felt as though she was hitting a wall, reaching a peak that she was soon going to fall off of.

Ulric Drell spat on the ground and readied himself to attack Freyd. As he heaved his arm back he blinked in confusion. It felt wrong, as if his arm was much lighter than it had previously been. Looking to his sword arm he raided an eyebrow. The arm was gone, now lying on the ground next to him. A sound escaped his mouth that sounded almost like a whimper as he watched the arm shatter into light. He looked up with wide frantic eyes, first to Freyd and then to where Katoka had been. His head whipped around to see the small woman behind him now.

There was a flash of light and the pirate's head slid from his shoulders, landing on the deck with a thud before his body was reduced to broken pixels. Kat had already returned her sword to her side and was walking to the skiff. She stopped at Freyd's side for just a moment, "I can't rely on you forever. I need to get stronger, this quest has shown me that." her voice held no anger or animosity towards the man she thought of as a brother, it was cold and matter of fact. There was just the slightest rumble of thunder in the distance as she resumed her path to the waiting boat.

The Cerulean Storm hungered once again for power.

"Yeah, yeah," Freyd grumbled, having messed up his own plan, though probably still saving their asses in the process.  "You're already a studly, stronk Shonen protagonist, m'kay?  Firm Anima doesn't hand out captain's titles to wet naps. So stop thinking you have something to prove." 

He'd have gone on longer, but the pressing throng of angry pirate-folk didn't look overly keen on continuing to parley.  A look was enough to get the point across.  Both players nodded and immediately scurried to the skiff, Freyd muzzling Ryland with his right hand and pointing at another, less hostile, dock nearby.  Stepping on the gas, or whatever it was these contraptions used for fuel, Ryland hurtled them away from the span and press of hostile raiders.  Freyd didn't release him until they were safe from pursuit and any potential cannon fire.  

"You're lucky to be alive, you damnable oaf!  Why can't you ever just keep your mouth shut?  Next time, I'm going to leave your sorry ass... so show me how to fly one of these stupid things."  

For once, sensing the frustration behind the Whisper's words, the Dockmaster complied and did what he was told.
