Chapter 55: Shadow Astrid's Power!
A tentacle then appeared out of the waters and dragged Shadow Astrid down there.
"Again?" Willow said, "That tentacle…"
Then, the palace started to rock a bit as tentacles came out of the waters. We all hold on.
"There's more of them!" Lars shouted,
Then, something came out of the water with more tentacles beside them. It was Shadow Astrid in her true form as she laughed menacingly.
"PREPARE TO SWIM WITH THE FISHES!" She shouted,
"Oh my Satan…" The real Astrid said as she was dizzy,
"Great, guess we gotta deal with her now that she's a giant kraken!" Boris shouted,
"Right!" Cattleya said as she got out her pirate sword and pointed it at Shadow Astrid, "En garde!"
Shadow Astrid then raised one of her tentacles up.
"Try to hit me all ya want, but in this form, I'm bigger and powerful now!" She shouted,
Shadow Astrid then brings her tentacles down to the ship to try and squad one of us, but we all dodged. Cattleya even brought the real Astrid up with her.
"What have I done?!" The real Astrid shouted, "I didn't want any of this to happen!"
"Don't worry, we'll take care of this!" Cattleya said as she took off her mask, "Starting now!"
Anne Bonny appeared and fired Zionga lightning magic at Shadow Astrid.
"GAHHH!" Shadow Astrid shouted in pain,
The real Astrid was shocked with what Cattleya can do.
"Woah…" She said, "What is this power?"
Shadow Astrid then used one of her tentacles to have it sneak up from behind Cattleya and grab her.
"WAH!" Cattleya shouted,
The tentacle then took Cattleya off the ship and into the air.
"CATTLEYA!" Astrid shouted,
"Pirate!" Lars shouted as he saw Cattleya up in the air, "Shit, Astrid's Shadow has her!"
Lars then ran up to the tentacle that took Cattleya and used his saw to try and attack it.
"Let go of her!" He shouted,
Shadow Astrid then grew serious as she used another tentacle to grab Lars.
"HEY! NOT ME AS WELL!" Lars shouted as he was then in the air,
"Wonder!" Willow shouted as she got out her revolver and started to aim it at the tentacle that got Lars, "Give me back my boyfriend you bitch!"
Willow then fired away at the tentacle that got Lars with her revolver. The, another tentacle came out and grabbed Willow and took her up midair.
"WAHHHHH!" Willow shouted in fear, "I HATE FLYING!"
Boris and Selene saw Cattleya, Lars and Willow in the air after being grabbed by Shadow Astrid's tentacles.
"Well that's unfair!" Boris shouted,
"Yeah!" Selene said,
The two then saw a tentacle attempting to attack them.
"Ain't happening to us!" Boris shouted as he took off his mask to reveal Ullr, "Ullr! Fire!"
Ullr and Boris fired arrows at the tentacle from their bow and arrows. Then, another tentacle came out and grabbed Boris.
"COME ONNNNNN!" Boris shouted as he was in the air,
"Great, guess I gotta take the hard route!" Selene said as she took her mask off and rode on her revealed Persona, Evaki, "Fly, Evaki!"
Selene flew in the air to grab Boris out of the tentacle.
"I gotcha, Hunter!" Selene said,
"Behind you!" Boris shouted,
Selene was then hit by another tentacle.
"OWW!" They shouted,
The tentacle then grabbed Selene as she fell with her Persona automatically recalled and took her back up in the air. I was alone as I saw my friends struggling to get out of the grip of the tentacles, and Shadow Astrid laughing.
"You got no one else to save you!" Shadow Astrid shouted at me, "It's just you and me!"
I had my teeth and fists clenched. I don't know what to do.
"Joker! Do something, damn it!" Cattleya shouted, "It's getting hard to breathe when this tentacle is gripping me tight!"
I tried to shoot at Shadow Astrid with my gun, but another tentacle came by and swept me down. Shadow Astrid laughed more.
"Time for the best part!" She shouted, "Walking the plank to your DEATH!"
