Earlier that month.
It had been a few weeks since the incident on Jaya island, since she had become the very thing she had wished to never be. Since the incidents on Jaya and Pirates Den had taken hold of her, she had done things as a marine she had sworn never to do. Be the reason innocents died? Lump innocents with pirates? be an exemption to the law. If innocents where killed, one should be locked up, thrown away and left to rot. Taking lives of those whom where innocent should not be a power granted to anyone. It was one of the reasons she hated the nobles and the noble higher archy. They had the ability to do with humans as they wished and that was something she was fighting to protect but so far...so far as a marine she had become closer to being like those nobles....and she had begun to enjoy the power. She felt sick, sick to her back teeth about what she had done. So much that after being debriefed, she and her crew set sail with no destination in mind. Just the torrential winds blowing them away.
Cerulean had resceeded in to her own mind, the once proud marine warrior now nothing more than a pitiful excuse for a hero. The marines played with the news coo to make it seem as though Jaya was full of pirates but she knew better. The way she was becoming, the person whom she was to become, that was all gone. How could she preach kindness an dhatred for something that she had begun to understand, the power, the way it made you feel. It was electrifying and, and she wanted more of it.
Over the next few days her crew would see the change in her, the mermaid of the group would try to help her though the fact that she could not speak became a hindrance when trying to cheer the marine up, their childish navigator would attempt to make the Crimson queen laugh but alas this also would falter. The tigress, the fierce warrior would tell her like it is, but she had just closed down, the only words she uttered issued doom for the crew. She had decided to split them up and at the next port, he crew mates watched as the Vice Admiral drifted away. No Log pose, no plan, minor rations. They felt strongly that the marine would not return.
Current Time
And so she drifted, on and on. lost not only in the sea itself, but in the sea of her own mind, nothing more miles and miles, her rations growing dangerously low. She kept herself alive, killing birds and cooking them, a plus side of having the ability to conjure fire with your blades. Company in the form of her sword Mini to keep her somewhat sane. Slowly she drifted in to her own mind, each night she tried to slumber nightmares, faces of civilians that she had met on jaya in her encounter swarming around as ghosts, blaming her for their deaths. Every night she would awaken screaming from her nightmares until the final night, the bumping of the ship striking land would wake her. As she rushed to the deck she would see an island full of lushious green, so tall these trees where that she could not see the top of them. The island resembled a flower, blooming, spreading its petals outwards covering the rocky earth in its lushious greenary. "what the" she uttered as the rain subsided, only to be hit by heat. Thankfully due to her own fighting style she had built up an immunity to such temperatures that this did not hinder her in the slightest. She would get to work docking her ship properly, tying it to the base of a large trunk as no port had been made upon the island, how could it be with such massive trees.
Her next course would be to explore the island, but something would occur, as she set foot upon the island a tree larger than any giant she had seen descended down, grasping her boat with vines and leaves and lifting it in to the air, pulling it in to the greenery of the island. "HOLY FUCK" exclaimed the vice admiral, glad she had not left the ship without her weaponry. So to either this island was alive, or someone held the power to control it. Removing Gem from her holster, the Vice Admiral of the marines would soon be enveloped by the greenery of the islands, stepping in to the maw of the devil so it would seem as the openining in which she had entered gently closed behind her. As if the plants beckoned her forward, opening up a path, pushing her in a certain direction. Naturally the young woman followed, unsure of what she would find. She detected no aura, or better so the entire island seemed to have an aura as if it where alive, making her ability to detect auras useless.
As the green path opened up, twisting and turning to throw off her sense of direction, she would eventually come to a clearing in which she would bear witness to a rather strange sight. A bee, a giant bee floated within the sky, the buzzing it created hitting her ears like nails upon a chalk board. Yet this giant ass bee was not the most shocking, it was the spider web that the environment had made use off. As if the island was working together. Wrapped within the webs where humans. Fear evident in their eyes. Located below the web was a giant spider, though this seemed to not be a threat for it was currently being eating by a large amount of plant like creatures. Where the plants and bugs working together? She knew bee's had a relationship with flowers but was something like this plausable.
Her own presence had yet to be noticed though she wondered if the green island had led her hear to be devoured, or to save these humans. Her answer would come quickly though as vines shot from the over growth, wrapping around her legs and yanking her upwards. She was surprised, shocked by this turn of event that a loud "AHHHH" escaped her lips. Naturally the sounds being made would alert the bee and the flowers to her presence. Quickly flowers erected higher to protect their food caught within the web as the bee began to buzz louder, Cerulean acted quickly, she had dropped Gem after being grapped, but with a quick movement she unsteahed mini and quickly sliced through the vines as if they where made of string. Descending just as the Bee's stinger passed where she had been. A narrow escape.
Landing upon her feet, bent to absorb the impact she grasped Gem and allowed Mini to descend from her hand. "I'll free the prisoners, Mini keep that Bee busy" she said to the sword. Now that was a strange thing to say right? how would a sword of all things act on its own right? Well as Cerulean burst forward with Gem in her right hand, mini the sword she left behind released an almighty roar as she burst to life, her form changing from that in to a shimmering titanium dinosaur, bearing resemblance to that of the T-rex, within her hybrid form her body was titanum, with sharp small hands and even sharper teeth, her tail like a flexible blade.
Cerulean whom charged would summon forth her most familiar ability, fire erupted around the sword in which she held. A smile upon her face, fire was destruction, capable of wiping out everything. Flowers,bee's none of them stood a chance against the bright crimson flames of the queen. "NO NO, NO FIRE YOU'LL BURN THE ISLAND DOWN" that kind of stopped her in her tracks, one of the prisoners had managed to chew away at the cobwebs. Wait so she couldn't use fire, but this was her main form of fighting style. As a Vice Admiral though she could not justify burning down an island......no as a human being she could not justify wiping another island of the map....
The fire died down and it seemed as though the plants believed this her only power. "No Fire Mini" she commanded to the dinosaur who was now butting tails with the bee, the titanium creature holding back the seemingly enhanced stinger of the bee. Soon plants would face the cold titanium edge of Gem. Cutting through the venus fly traps that shot for her, it seemed to be going well, the scientists face looking with glee as he believed his saviour had come. Then
WHOMP
One of the plants had gotten under her and the jagged edges shut around her, then another and another. Plant after plant ate each other, building up the prison that would surely put others down, cuts grazed her body yet she was indeed durable, her sword moved from within electricity sparkled around it as the plants were cut and quartered, acidic juices that had formed rained down, causing slight burns to the female and the cob webs, they had yet to become potent enough to dissolve any of the skin due to the quick work made of the plants. As the Crimson queen dispatched the last of the plants within the area with ease, she looked to the bee whom now lay, ripped in half. The teeth of the dinosaur ripping through its flesh enjoying a rather strange meal. Leaving Mini to her own devices, Cerulean would move to free the prisoners.
