Giggling, the Cat o' Nine Tails swung her bell once, shifting her weight onto her left foot, which was in front of her right foot.
"Are you ready to die, human? I sure hope you are, because you're about to get a one-way ticket to the afterlife!" The cat shouted, charging forward. Fortunately, while the Cat o' Nine Tails had been talking, Reev had been coming up with a plan. As the Cat came within four feet of him, he stumbled over to the side. Since the Cat had so much momentum and she was already swinging her bell in a manner that was meant to shatter Reev's ribcage, she couldn't control the attack and fell forward, crashing into a rock formation that was supporting that part of the ceiling. Part of the ceiling started shaking, and rocks started falling. Reev was out of the way, but the Cat wasn't. He realized that he needed the Cat o' Nine Tails to be his pet, so he couldn't let it die. With his last remaining strength, he dashed forward and dove through the air, pushing the Cat o' Nine Tails out of the way with his right hand. He landed on his right side, causing scrapes and cuts on his right arm, and skidded a few feet, but then a big rock fell down and hit Reev in the head. A beam of light shone through the new hole in the ceiling over Reev's body.
"Wow...the colors..." Reev mumbled, before passing out.
The Cat o' Nine Tails stared at Reev's unconscious body; the human had saved her, something that she would have never expected. Obviously he didn't want to kill her; otherwise he would've let her get crushed by the falling rocks. Deciding that he was worthy of living, she dragged the body over and leaned it against the wall. She looked at Reev for a few more seconds and got an idea. She walked over to Reev, reached into his pocket, took 6000 zeny, and then walked off to find something else to do.
When Reev woke up, he wasn't lying on the floor anymore; instead, he was standing up. His arms were above him, and since they didn't drop, obviously they were...tied to something. Reev blinked twice, and then looked around. Sure enough, he was tied to a wall with his hands above his head, and what he saw next was the most shocking thing he'd ever seen in his life; a line of Ancient Firelocks were aiming their rifles at Reev's head. The leader, who was slightly bigger than the others and was standing at the far right of the line, was giving out orders.
"Firing squad, get ready to fire!" The leader shouted. Reev desperately struggled in his bonds, but it was to no avail. It looked like it was definitely the end.
"Three..."
"Two..."
"One..."
"HIIIIIIIIII-YAH!"
Reev was surprised; the leader hadn't said "fire". When he looked over at the leader, what he saw filled his aching body with hope and optimism. The Cat o' Nine Tails was rushing at the leader, rearing back with her bell. When she swung the bell, the force was so great that it smacked the leader full force into another Firelock, who toppled over another Firelock, resulting in a domino effect. When all the Firelocks were on the floor, the Cat o' Nine Tails rushed over to Reev and examined his bonds. She climbed up the wall and tried to bite the ropes tying Reev's hands together apart. After two minutes of doing this, the ropes finally fell to the floor. Reev then pulled out a pocket knife hidden in his left boot and wearily cut the rest of the bonds. After he was freed, he almost fell over flat on his face, but the Cat caught him.
"You got any butterfly wings?" The Cat asked hurriedly. Reev checked his pockets, and came up with a butterfly wing. "Well, use it!" The butterfly wing glowed for a moment, and then the two teleported to Prontera just as an Ancient Firelock attempted to get a headshot on Reev.
