"Rae this is the fifth time this week you've come home like this!" The older Gilberttson yelled at the young teenager. Although the anger and scolding seemed to hurt the child, it was the alcohol wipes that he kept using to clean her scratches hurt more. "Rae, please, you have to learn to control that temper of yours."
"They deserved it." She muttered, wincing when Rance put a band aid on her cheek. "They were talking bad about mom and dad."
"Even if that's the case, you can't just punch someone. Perhaps you should start talking to them." He replied to her, applying bandages to her cut arm. "Getting in all these fights, it's upsetting mother and father. How are you going to find someone to marry and live with the rest of your life with and help run the shop with this temper of yours?"
It caused the blue haired girl to stick her tongue out. "I don't want to marry. I want to explore!"
"Don't become a pirate Rae, you know the dangers they get in. if you're caught by the marines, then you'll be executed." The older brother almost hissed at her, before he applied the last bandage to her forehead. "Promise me Rae. Promise me that you'll stay out of trouble and stop this fighting." He pressed to the girl. He exhaled, seeing her nod before he reached out and hugged his little sister, "You know I'm only like this because I love you right? I just don't like seeing you come back home hurt Rae."
Rae was silent for a moment, before she hugged her brother back, "I know Rance. I'm sorry."
"They deserved it." She muttered, wincing when Rance put a band aid on her cheek. "They were talking bad about mom and dad."
"Even if that's the case, you can't just punch someone. Perhaps you should start talking to them." He replied to her, applying bandages to her cut arm.

Rae was silent for a moment, before she hugged her brother back, "I know Rance. I'm sorry."
The clashing of blades, the sounds of yelling, men being killed, men being wounded. They started to come to her. Opening her eyes suddenly, Rae saw the masses in front of her fighting. Marines and pirates dressed as marines all fighting each other. It took a few moments for the young marine to figure out what had happened. It came back to her suddenly as did the pain in her side. Hissing, she pressed against the side, feeling blood still oozing slowly out.
Looking up, purple gems scanned. She had to find that man that stabbed her! She had to find Dante, Yumi, Yuri, Hanabi. Pushing herself up, she quickly grabbed her staff, running back to the main ship. She couldn't let anyone die. She couldn't be defeated so easily. She had to keep fighting, she had to survive this. After all, Dante has some faith in her right? He took her under the wing, started to train her. She couldn't disappoint him. She couldn't disappoint him like she had done to Rance. The pup had to make things up.

As Chad Harken stood on the new ship he wished to claim his, three people caught his attention. A silver haired marine, one young woman in all pink, and one woman who looked like she didn't care less about anything in the world. The former marine stood almost proudly, seeing Dastard do his job. Actually, it was his only job; cause as much death and destruction as he could.
However, Chad wanted this new ship with as little damage as he could. Right now, Dastard was destroying it. Taking a few steps forward to make himself known to the others, he gave a short whistle. It was a signal for his own crew to hold off for a moment, including Dastard. It was silent on the ship for a few seconds before Chad decided to talk.
"So these are the people who have prevented our take over of this ship?" Chad spoke, looking at the three. He brought his still bloody sword up, pointing to the silver haired man, "You. I assume you are the higher officer in charge here? Why don't you save yourself the trouble and hand this ship over. Unless you want me to take another life of this little rag tag team of yours. You're clearly outmatched and out numbered. Why not be a good marine and just surrender."
It was silent, Chad waiting for a reply from the young man. All the while the former marine had a laid back confident smile on his face. It was a rational decision. Especially since the marine officer now knew one of his team members where dead, it would make him easier to surrender. This ship would soon be his, and he would leave the surviving marines on the old, damaged ship with no way to sail and no way to survive.
It would all be his soon.
