HOLY MOLEY!!!!!! I'M SCREWD!!!!!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The figure strode towards Pearl, a butcher knife glinting in each of his hands, and Usopp lurched against the chains and let out such an inhuman, animal like snarl that the both of them jumped.
"Don't you touch her! Don't you dare touch her!"
The figure ignored Usopp and started his advance stumbled to her feet and backed away, "Leave me alone," she said.
"Run…Pearl." Usopp coughed again and his head went limp, blood falling from his mouth and dripping to the ground in red splatters. "Run… Please…run."
Pearl's lungs and legs hurt. Her lungs were like ice again, and her legs felt as though she'd already been running nonstop. She shook her head, as if to clear up some invisible fog. "U-Usopp, I can't leave you," she said "Luffy'll kill me if I do… if I don't to myself first…"
Usopp's only able response was another desperate cough.
Something flowed through her at that moment that most people would call "courage", or even" bravery".
Pearl just called it "pure adrenaline".
She planted her retreating feet and clenched her fists at her sides.
Only Usopp noticed the pale gold chain peeking out of her hand.
"Oh!" the figure had the smile in his voice again. "Are you going to come without a struggle?"
There was no answer for him. Pearl was too afraid to answer anyway.
She took in a deep breath. Pearl then started singing her Muse-Muse Sonic Boom for all it's worth. The song she sang…My Immortal by Evanescence:
"I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me
You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me
Me…
Ahhhhh…
Me….
Ahhhh….
Me…………….."
The man crashed into the stone wall beside the tank and then dropped to the ground, landing on his feet with an almost cheerful bounce.
"Okay then." the figure nodded, as if deciding something. Pearl blinked, and his black form vanished.
"Pearl!" Usopp choked out. "Move!"
