❝You still don't know your sin?
That in itself, is the sin.❞

"Stop!" Nino suddenly shouted, wheeling herself out. Kenna, who had recently vomited because of all the dead, the injured, the limbs that they recovered that they had no idea belonged to who. Miiko had been taken and Prisca who was busy being bewildered by Essie's return, couldn't react on time to save her Caster. Jace was very tense - this was the worst possible scenario. "Better dead than captured." Stella muttered quietly, a haunted look in her eyes. "Essie, you're strong, I know you are. I gotta think, I gotta think." Essie just smiled nastily at Prisca, who deserved everything she got. "Looks like you're going to lose someone else you are about." She said with a smile. Rose was on edge, any second now, she would be summoned, she would be taken to Miiko's side, but Nino interrupted everyone.
"Orianna, I know you're there!" Nino yelled, and not that anyone could see, but she had hidden a giant bomb under her shirt that she would use to kill everyone if she needed to. "Let me off this boat, Jace, I know how to save Miiko." So Jace had no choice but to release her and then Rose suddenly felt a sudden, awful pain striking through her, the pain of someone else holding her Summoner. She clutched at her chest, not understanding. "...Hurts." She muttered and Daisy ran to her, worried. "Someone picked up your Summoner, didn't they?" It felt as if she was going to be torn in half, one of the petals was bent - how much would it hurt if it was damaged even further? A red light shone on Nino's forehead as she wheeled herself to where the Republic soldiers were. A sniper rifle was trained on her. "No one move, or I'll kill myself." Nino screamed. "I'm a former member of L's Elite Four, I know you have orders to take me alive!"
And that was how Nino too, was taken hostage, she offered a small wave to Nino. Lise looked at her, about to search her for any tricks or traps, but Sam took her hand. "Remember, she used to be one of ours, L wouldn't want us to treat her as anyting less than family." The little blonde stared at the prince with a harsh glare for a few moments but shook her head. "Fine, whatever. Nino, I don't care if L and the others forgive you - I won't, not the way you made Orianna cry." Orianna was almost stunned to see her sister back, but she couldn't bring herself to hug her. "Let's just go back to the boat for now, okay, everyone?" Pablo smiled with a sing song voice, ushering them to their reinforcing fleet.
The storm was getting worse now and Sam gave Nino a very subtle nod, he knew very well what she was hiding. Nino offered Miiko a reassuring thumbs up, she wasn't going to let Miiko suffer if she could help it. And so Nino, because of her past connections, was able to avoid handcuffs and everything else, but Miiko didn't have the same luck, her wrists were cuffed. "Since she isn't going to answer, let's just take her back to the Capitol with us." Pablo lead the way onto the boats, and they set sail.
An hour later, on the open sea, it happened. A red flag weaved in the sky, and then two strange floating stars appeared next to the ship. With that, a rainbow-colored laser blasted through the ship's hull all the way to just barely miss the engine. "The ship is sinking!" Lise shouted in alarm. "Move the prisoners to the the Flagship, we have to abandon this one!" The Yavinese Fleet was upon them - but not only that, the Ondern Fleet had come as reinforcements, answering Jace's call. Lundy, Ondern's leader, grinned as he saluted Jace in greeting. "Ondern is here to assist! Let's get your daughter back!" An all out sea battle was about to begin, and everyone began loading and prepping the cannons for a bloody battle at sea.
Stella had another idea, of course. Other than just using Essie's power to demolish things, she had them spill all their oil reserves onto the water. "Once the Republic Fleet gets close to the water, we can light the oil on fire and they'll all die." Stella said, looking unapologetically at Prisca. "If we can't save Miiko before then, you'll both die. Trust me - death is a kinder fate than being captured." An oil fire, mixed with the rain... it would be a firestorm engulfing all the ships one by one. "Then jump us over." Jellyfish and Daisy were already doing their thing as well, under the sea in a bubble, they attached themselves to the ship Miiko and Nino were taken to, and Daisy began to sing, planting suggestions into Miiko and Nino's heads.
"Come to the lower floors if you can, we'll put you both safely in a bubble and carry us back to the Horizon Star!"
