Futuristic Midnight Blue

"Are you the Captain?" Draven asked, ignoring the man's question. "Now I believe I asked first. Who are you sir?" The Falia stated as he reached for one of his pistols.

 

[WiLeo]

"Okay, no need to get hostile here!" Leo said as he raises both arms up. "I'm not the captain of the ship! I left him in one of the lower decks with one of the crew members!"

 

[rooke]

"What is your name?!" Draven repeated. He could tell the guy was intimidated. "Tell me your name then take me to the captain of this vessel." The Falia was barely supressing his smirk, retaining an intimdating look.

 

[WiLeo]

"I'm Kupe! No, I mean Leo!" Leo answers him panicked, not sure if he was going to die soon. If Annabelle was with him, he probably wouldn't be acting like a idiot to the stranger. But she's not here to protect him now. "I... forgot which deck they're in. You know, I forget things easily. Haha... ha."

 

[rooke]

"Leo Kupe?" Draven asked, remembering the name of his quarry. His eyes lit up as he made the realization. "Are you sure? You seem rather nervous. And about the Captain, we can see him soon." The bounty hunter said while releasing his pistol.

 

[WiLeo]

"Am I sure that I don't know my own name? Is that what you're trying ask me?" Leo asked quickly with a fake smile. "Then yeah. That's my name. Leo Kupe. Human. Now please don't shoot me." When the stranger doesn't go for their gun anymore, he lowers his arms. "So you noticed I was nervous? I mean, who wouldn't when the guy in front you might shoot you in the face. One shot and I'm dead. Gone. Nada. Bleh." He's still nervous, but at least now he knows that the stranger isn't 'that' hostile. "Mind if I ask why you need to see the captain, sir? For... security reasons."

 

[rooke]

Draven gave Leo a malicious smile before speaking. "I am here to inquire about some business your captain did earlier today or yesterday. Im not quite sure of the date as I was knocked unconcious by a chest of loot... Anyway your captain sold a human of about your size to a group of Woven. They would very much like to have their property back so they hired me to do so." The hybrid said with his eyes trained on his prey. There was no escape for the human, the only one was blocked by himself. "I just wanted to ask about the possible sold humans to narrow my list down. The woven weren't the best with names and descriptions."

 

[WiLeo]

Leo was going to say something before realizing who said human was. Sadly, it was him. "Uhhh..." He mumbled as he moves toward the desk. "My captain doesn’t deal in human trafficking. No, no. That's morally wrong to do if your ship is part of the Interstellar Navy." Once there, he leans against the desk with one arm and the other at his hip. "I think you're referring to the Evening Star. Their captain is the type of guy who deals in that sort of business."

 

[rooke]

"Oh trust me, I think it's wrong too. But everyone needs the payday nowadays. But this is the correct ship in this particular case. I don't blame you for being surprised, this is the first I've heard of trafficking done by the Captain of the Five Eight. It's a shame what people have to do to get a paycheck nowadays." Draven started spouting. It wasn't exactly a lie either, as when he was told which captain the woven had made their purchase from, he was startled. Such a grand naval starchaser and brought down to trafficking. It was a huge low and Draven hated it, but somehow he needed to pay for his equipment and a new ship.

 

[WiLeo]

"Well isn't friendship and love more important than money?" Leo asked as he lays down on top of the desk. "You know what you're doing is wrong. I met a lot of poor souls like you back on Earth. All desperate for money and willing to do bad deeds for it. But it's not too late for you to-" Suddenly, he smacks his fist against the desk. "A.I! Alert everyone on board that there's an armed intruder in the captain's quarters!" He ordered before pulling out his pistol and points it at the bounty hunter.


"Invalid command." Iris replied. "Only valid crew members or keycard holders can order requests. Please come back with a keycard and try again. Also, do not damage the equipment or else punishment will be dealt out to you for your crimes against Captain Vakarine."


Leo looks at the desk with both eyes wide open. He did not expect that response from the A.I. "...time for Plan B." He said before pulling the trigger.

Annabelle followed Malice into the kitchen which she only found because someone had started cooking. She waltzed in to be greeted by a very angry man "You're the wench who stole my ship! You won't get away with this! The Interstellar Navy will-" Lots was cut off by a leopard who climbed up on top of him and pushed him down, using the former captain as a pillow. "Get this infernal beast off of me!" he snapped. Malice turned and put her paw on his face to shut him up. "Something smells good." Annabelle said as she sniffed the air, "is someone cooking something?" Lots was too loud for her to hear if anyone was still in the kitchen. Had he not been there she might have been able to hear Solace and the unknown stowaway. But luck have it, Lots was there.

 

[rooke]

"Don't do that boy... Wrong choice Leo!" he said as Leo pulled the trigger. The bounty hunter rolled away from the gunshot and brought out two of his own revolvers. "I'd rather not put a hole in my target. You could've made this much easier than it has to be now." Draven stated as he locked back the hammers.

 

[Skelo10]

Delores snarled.


"Bastard." He walked behind the intruder pointing his sword a couple of inches away from his head. "You'd kill someone who isn't even a pirate..?"


Assuming I'm near you]

 

[RushWing]

"You know . . . Asking would be a better way to get something you want." Solace smiles scooting a pie towards the little boy. She patted him on the head. He reminded her of her little brother. "I don't know where you came from. But I'm guessing you were hiding in closed tight spaces." She giggled. "What's your name? Do you have someone looking for you?" She stared at him watching him eat. He was starving. She took out a round marble that began floating when she squeezed the sides and it began to glow. She then took a picture of the boy and put the marble back into her shoulder pocket. Then she saw Annabelle and didn't really know who the captain was. "Are you hungry too? There's plenty, Miss." Solace gave her a bowl and looked at Malice, "here you go, some for you too. Where's the other boy that was with you? I'm sure everyone could use some food." Solace wasn't up to date with everything that was happening up on deck.

 

[noalaniwolf]

"Some bounty hunter is up on deck looking for the captain. Our newest member is up fighting him. Leo's up there too. Luckily I don't think he knows I'm captain so I was able to get by him. I'm sure it'll all get sorted out soon" Annabelle said with a shrug "you're the mechanic right? And that Lots over there..." she said with a pause "who are you talking to then?" She thought she knew everyone on the ship. But maybe there were a lot more people than she though aboard. They were just quiet.

 

[RushWing]

Solace was interested. So much had happened ever since she got on the ship, she had been up and down and all around. She then told Annabelle, "It seems we had a stowaway." She looked back at the boy who was happily eating. "You think, what's his name, Leo, is hungry?" She took her key card put and swiped it along a speaker, "Iris send out the alarm that dinner is ready." An alarm that sounded like a dinner bell went off at that moment. "Thank you, Iris. "

 

[Skelo10]

Um]


Deluros slammed the blunt side of his sword into the stranger's stomach, ignoring all rules of the duel.


Deluros heard the alarm but grunted. He should deal with this person before eating.

 

[WiLeo]

Mus ate the meat pie as if it was the last one in the universe. He hasn't eaten anything this good ever since he left Earth a week ago; only eating any edible leftovers from the crew's meals. It was so good that he didn't hear the click of the older girl's camera and wasn't aware of the other people in the room. When he finished eating, he looks up with a smile. "That tasted delicious, mam!" He said as pushes the pie tin to the side. That's when he noticed the girl with bandages covering her eyes, the captain of the ship, and some sort of feline on top of the captain's head. "I've seen him before," He points at the Captain Lots,"but this is the first time I've seen you two aboard this ship." He then looks away scratching his chin. "Which means... oh my stars! I've missed my destination and still couldn't find my friend! NO!"


Leo sighed with relief when the sword-wielding pirate managed to hit the bounty hunter with a surprise attack. He thought he was a goner when the bounty hunter took out their revolvers. "Ha! Take that!" He jeered as he stands on top of the table. "Guess who has the advantage now!' Grabbing the floating golden orb in front of him, the holographic map disappears and the room was back to normal. He stuffs it into his pocket before hearing an alarm that sounded like a dinner bell. "Is there a chef still onboard? Meh, whatever. At least that means someone prepared food for us." He mumbled before jumping off the desk and heading toward the two dangerous men. "Now then, before we were kindly interrupted by my sort of friend here." He said before pointing his pistol at the bounty hunter's forehead. "What was that about not putting a hole in your target?"

 

[Skelo10]

"Sort of? Wow, thought we were getting off good Leo" Deluros said playfully. He put his sword on his back and stood still in front of his opponent, blocking his only exit.

 

[rooke]

"I said put a hole in him not kill him you bufoon." Draven spat before the gun was placed on his forehead. "Ohhh who is all high and mighty now that your pet is here to protect you." Draven said with a laugh. The blow to the stomach did little, but it did surprise him a little. "I don't think you will kill me boy. I bet you don't even want to see blood." The bounty hunter said as the pirate backed off and blockaded the exit. And so Draven continued to stare down Leo, his pistols still loaded.

 

[Skelo10]

Deluros chuckled in amusement. Deluros didn't bother pulling out his sword. He didn't care if the bounty hunter could kill Leo.


This fight was Leo's, and Leo's alone.

 

[WiLeo]

"If he's my pet, then you're just a dog that needs to be put down." Leo said before pushing the pistol's barrel onto the bounty hunter's head. "Don't think I won't blow your brain out. I'm not afraid to spill blood with my own hands." Finger on the trigger, he slightly pushes it back while staring into their eyes.


Weakling... traitor... coward...


"...dammit." Leo mumbled before releasing the trigger. The pistol still on the bounty hunter's forehead, he looks at the sword wielding pirate. "Hey pirate... dude. Do you mind cuffing him for me before we head down to the kitchen to show the captain the intruder?"

 

[rooke]

"Knew it." Draven muttered under he breath. "Or I knock you out and detain you until the next port and we hitch a ride back." He said aiming a pistol at Leo's torso.

 

[Skelo10]

Deluos looked at Leo.


"I'm afraid Captain Vakraine is aware of the situation.. So I guess I have no choice do I?" Deluros latched cuffs onto the bounty hunters wrists.

 

[WiLeo]

"Or we don't need to cuff you and you get to meet the captain of the ship with a free meal." Leo said when he looked back at the bounty hunter and saw their revolver pointed at him. Maybe he should have disarmed them first before using the cuffs. Luckily for him, the sword wielding pirate somehow managed to cuff the bounty hunter after a small struggle that involved Leo nearly getting hit by several bullets and more broken relics on the shelves. Annabelle doesn't need to know about the broken relics part. She probably wasn't even aware of the shelves in the first place, unless Malice saw it beforehand. If so, he'll of think of something on the spot if the subject comes up later. The pirate and Leo escorts the cuffed bounty hunter to the lower decks before finding the entrance to the kitchen . They enter before noticing everyone else was there. "Captain Vakarine." He said while saluting to Annabelle. "We have an intruder here who managed to get on board before the ship left the docks back at Ausrine. He claims to be a bounty hunter who wants to talk to-" His eyes wandered off to look at the food, but instead focused on the young boy in the kitchen. One that looked familiar to someone he knew back on Earth. "Mouse!" He yelled out after directing his full attention to Mus. "What are you doing here?!"


"Leo!" Mus replied with a huge smile. "I haven't seen you for the entire week! I thought I got on the wrong ship or something terrible happened to you after departure!"


"Don't go off topic, Mouse!" Leo said angrily as he walks up to Mus. "Answer my question! What are you doing here in this ship?!"


"Well I would tell you, but maybe not in front of everyone else." Mus pouted while pointing at the crew. "You wouldn't want to cause a scene in front of everyone? Now do you?"


Leo bites his lower lip a bit before grabbing Mus' wrist. He takes a quick glance at everyone before saying something. "I'll be right back. Mouse and I need to have a private chat on the main deck." He said before dragging Mus out of the kitchen.
