The atmosphere was bustling as people hurried to their workplaces, each and every soul, restless with unknown anticipation. In the midst of constant movement, there strolled a beautiful woman with porcelain skin, eyes the color of night but bright as the moon. Her hair was long enough to reach her waist as it dark as shadows yet moves every so swiftly like the wind. She moved ever so rhythmically and smoothly down the street you'd think she'd be skating on ice without try, but with a sigh she stops at her destination to walk into a bar that reeked with alcohol and sweat.

She takes a look at the scenery before her and takes a breath before grabbing unstacking the chairs and washing the glasses when suddenly a loud knock was at the door. Elyza froze as she saw the man through the glass staring right at her.

The thug started to yell, "Hey! Open the bar up lady! We want booze, right now!"

Elyza's P.O.V

Trying to calm my nerves, I walked over to the window and apologized to the group, "I'm sorry, but we don't open until later in the afternoon. Come back later and we'll be sure to have you seated then". Hoping that that was resolved I walked back over to the bar when suddenly the doors bursts and the same man pulls me by my hair, at the same time, pointing his knife at my throat.

"I get what I want, WHEN I WANT! Serve us booze you wench!"

With that he threw me towards the bar when I turned and looked at him right in the eyes, hiding whatever fear I had left, now feeling a little bit agitated knowing that he wont give up soon. "Im sorry but as I said earlier, we don't open until later and we won't serve until then."

The man chuckled and looked around for a bit before retorting, "We?... as I see it, you're the only one here".

I back up against the counter before jumping behind and unsheathing the hidden sword. "Please leave before this gets messy" I say before I take in my fighting stance.

He bellowed with laughter before composing himself once more, "Don't tell me a WOMAN will fight me?" Three other men behind him all take out their swords, however what caught my eye was that their leader takes out, not a sword, but a gun "very well… This will just take a second".

Just as we both raised our weapons, ready to strike, a loud shot was ringing in the bar and the man before me fell to his knees holding his hand. "Argh! You fucking bastard!", He doubles over to grip onto his hand tighter, "Kill them!"

I turned my head to face the entrance to see a double-sworded fencer accompanied by a man with an eye-patch, holding a gun close to his face.

The double-sworded fencer yells at the thugs, "I'll give you all 5 minutes to get up and go before we serve yer asses to ya! And I must warn you, my friend over 'ere's trigger happy" he says as he deviously grins.

"Hey you, lady!" The man in the eye-patch directs to me, "What the hell do you think you're doing?! Run away to a safe spot!"

I stood still keeping my eyes on him, "I'm not leaving this bar until these men get out of my sight" as I pointed to the others.

The man in the eye-patched simply snickered before I lunged at the man who was attempting to attack. With one swift kick I knocked the man onto his back and simply punched him across the face to knock him out, however being caught of guard I was sucker punched right through by a man a few inches taller. I glared up at him as I wiped the blood trickling down my lip and soon found myself parrying his sword. With a grin, I blocked his sword once more and wrapped my sword around his before throwing it in the air and catching with my other hand, assuming another stance. I formed an x shape with the two swords and soon enough cornered the man and at the corner of my eye I see the other double-sworded fencer facing me with such surprise. Noticing that the scene had cleared up, the man in front of me, sweat pouring down, was the last of his group to stay conscious and with a bash from the butt of his sword he went out like a light.

The three of us spent nearly half an hour dragging the incredibly heavy bodies out of the bar. I stood up to properly address the two men and bowed before the two in respects, "I thank you both very much for helping me.. To make it up to you both I can award you free drinks for the rest of the day." I say smiling.

The man with the eye-patch said nothing and simply quickly sat onto the table what has been untouched from the 'war', however the double-sworded fencer faced me while scratching the back of his head, "You see, we have other friends that would love to have a drink.. If it's alright with you, could they also be awarded for free drinks?" he asked with a slight awkward chuckle. "Im Russell by the way, and that man over there is Eduardo. He doesn't talk very much."

I nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't forget" I smiled before tidying up the place. "If it's alright with you two, I'll just rearrange the place before serving any drinks."

With that, Russell and Eduardo quickly got up and left the bar to go searching for their other crew while I quickly ran around the bar picking up fallen tables and chairs, thanking the Gods that none of the furniture has been destroyed. It would have caused us even more financial troubles.. I soon pulled myself out of my thoughts and due to how unsure I was of how many they were, I quickly made 12 pints of beers and set them nicely on the table.

Smiling at my work, I returned back to the bar to set my sword down when the bell above the door rang. The presence sent chills down my spine and I turned around to see a figure standing, slightly leaning in the doorway.

I stared at him as I shifted my feet uncomfortably, waiting for him to speak.

"What's a beautiful girl like you doing in an ugly old bar like this?" He asked.

Ignoring the statement I walked up to him and politely guided him in asking, "What can I get you?"

He smirked and roughly pulled me close, "May I order you for myself?"

I violently shoved him and walked backwards, keeping my distance, "If you please, order a drink. If that's not what you came for then please leave." I say with confidence in my voice

"My, my, what a feisty one…" he rubbed his chin lightly before looking back up, "I still choose you". He grabbed my arm once more and pulled me towards him locked in a forceful hug.

"Please sir! Let go!" I yell frantically trying to get out of his arms

He was about to say something when he was cut short by another voice, booming. "Alan! Release the lass, will ya?" His sentence meant one thing but his voice sounded stern.

I jumped out of his arms as he let go and took a moment to properly compose myself. A dark skin-toned man step forth and asked me, "are you alright? He didn't do anything to you?" I shook my head but heard Alanyell, "Hey! What do you take me for?". I stood looking at him when the 6 men in unison said, "a pervert."

Offended, Alan simply walked out of the bar, past the group of men. Curious, I asked, "Are you guys close friends?.."

What seems to be the captain of their group responded quickly, "Not exactly, in fact we are rival ships but he has made a habit of chasing us. Anywho! I heard the words 'Free' and 'Alcohol'!"

"Ah yes, I've readied the drinks at the table. I've only made 12 as I wasn't sure how many of you there were.."

"Not to worry lass! We can drink until the sun's up!"

The statement caused my eyes to widen as the Captain began to chug the beer down and seeing as they were going to run out of beer quite soon, I dashed to the bar and served some more drinks.

After about half an hour, I found myself familiar with the crew as they all introduced themselves one by one. There was Eduardo their navigator, Russell the double-sworded fencer, Thomas the greenhorn, Christopher their medic, Nathan the chef and Captain Morgan. I was walking back and forth filling and cleaning glasses when all their faces turned serious (pun intended).

Eduardo unraveled what looked like a map. He looked at everyone with a stern face and said, "This is the real reason we're here on this island. While me and Russell were gathering supplies we found this hidden in the lawman's office.", Asking no one in particular "Have you found any clues on how to get to this island?"

I made my way back to the table to set Captain Morgan's last beer and looked at the map, interested. "May I see?" As Eduardo was sitting across the captain, he turned the map sideways.

No P.O.V

As Elyza placed her palm onto the map to correct it's position, her body stiffened as if she turned to stone, not breathing. The entire crew surprised and in shock, stood from their chairs and surrounded her analyzing her profile. Her eyes were still present, but black as night. She was as still as a stonewall with a black aura surrounding her.

Elyza's P.O.V

I tried to respond to the crew who had their eyes glued to me as I could see them from the corner of my eyes, but somehow I couldn't move myself no matter how hard I tried. I could feel Christopher trying to find a pulse that was temporarily stopped; I could hear the muffled worries coming out of their youngest crewmember, Thomas. I was completely aware of my surroundings but I couldn't do anything! Just as I started to panic, Images flashed from my eyes- I saw the Island they were describing! I was able to roughly see the safe routes to get to the island, every trap, every wildlife present. My eyes felt like they grew wide as I saw the images unraveling in front of me but before I could process any more I was pulled out of my state of concentration and blacked out.

No. P.O.V

The crew was still surrounding Elyza when suddenly her head shot up as she stumbled backwards. Before she hit the ground, the captain was able to spot her and carry her upright despite the amount of beer he drank. Everyone looked at each other, puzzled and unsure of what happened but before anyone of them could muster up a word, the navy of Yamato rushed in, fully loaded. The Sirius wasted no time in packing up the map and breaking through the window as they headed straight to their ship with Elyza, unconscious, still carried in Morgan's arms.
