"It's not a good sound." Rose agreed grimly, trying not to spiral. She couldn't rely on Essie anymore, Essie was gone! She had to get control of her head on her own, without anyone's help. This was her punishment, to never be able to count on anyone ever again, to have to deal with her mental problems all alone. It was what she deserved, for turning everyone in, for getting everyone killed. "We should move quickly. Hold on tightly." Not even a hint of her mental turmoil poked through her tough act. Not even a shade of the memories of the torture she suffered until this personality was born could gleam to the surface, it was buried far too deeply.
With her ability, to predict, naturally coming with it was incredibly rapid reflexes that could account for split second timing. This was how it was so easy for Rose to hop down the knobs on the trunk to get back down to the base, as long as she was focused, this was easy for her. The bodies of the pirates were splattered, but there was no time, they needed to get to Athena's side quickly. "Let go of my ear, you idiot!" Havran shouted, while Fox was just sighing as if he didn't care too much about his ear. "We're trying to save Stella, you old bat, don't you see?! The Elite Four are all at Aurum, so why the hell are you all trying not to save her right now! The Captain is trying to apologize, and you morons are fighting?!" She was angry... but this was very interesting information, Rose thought.
Varus was having the time of his life here. It just felt so satisfying, being able to clash with Jace like this! But more than that, just seeing his face again, it made his heart feel a tiny bit more at ease. Jace was doing okay, even with Stella being captured, he was still fighting, even if he was a coward about it and not picking the big dramatic fights. "I've got connections, y'know, we've sailed around the whole world!" Varus shouted, sporting a happy grin as he and Jace struck and blocked and parried each other's swordplay. "I've already got the lookouts to agree to not see us, as long as I promise to liberate their previous homes that were taken over, they're glad to help!"
"Do you know, Jace?" Varus almost felt as if this was just like the old days, back when he and Jace really were like brothers, attached to the hip, never one without the other. "We attacked Capitol City earlier, we managed to chip the Imperial Statue." The core for that island, that massive desert island. "Now there's a constant sandstorm, and do you know where it's very easy to hide an army inside? A sandstorm, of course!" This was their best chance to save Stella, wasn't it? "It's been five years, Jace, it's time to own up to your responsibilities as a dad and save your little girl!" Varus grinned. "But if you still don't agree, I'll just go alone, and if the Red Fleet dies, don't regret losing the ally you could have had, okay?" Annie scoffed, as if the idea of her letting Varus die was insulting, but said nothing to interrupt the duel.
