Ship

A battle had broken out on a nearby ship that had several people protecting it.

Several figures had moved quickly and touched the bodies of each person they had passed by.

The Electro had shocked their bodies enough for them to be disabled and they were quickly lifted off the ship.

Everyone had moved around the ship as they had started to make preparations for setting sail on the ship but there were very few adults among them that knew what they were doing.

Micah turned to the shadow guard that was still with them then asked. "Can you help out? You must have watched how they did this a couple of times right?"

The shadow guard nodded quietly before replying. "I can do it. We just need someone to take the helm."

It was clear to everyone that they lacked the numbers and the experience to sail a larger ship well enough to get them back home so they had to pick among the slightly smaller ones that were not targeted by the bombing incident.

The shadow guard had started to move quickly as they jumped around and started to unfurl the sails.

The others had started to disconnect the ship from the docks so that they were ready to leave.

The surroundings had started to grow louder all of a sudden as heavy footsteps had started to approach.

The remaining Marines that had been alerted to what had been happening on the docks had arrived at the scene to offer their support along with those that had been left behind from the previous battle that had taken place.

Felice was sitting inside one room of the ship and there had been some clothes that had been wrapped around her arm.

There was a slightly bloody smell that was mixed with a strong alcoholic scent which came from the cloth.

Misty had finished tying the cloth around the arm of Felice and said. "Just rest and do not aggravate the wound."

Felice nodded weakly as her face showed a little pain. "Thanks…"

Misty smiled politely and responded. "It is no problem. Your sister asked us to take care of you and the others."

Felice had nothing to do with Misty and the others so they did not really have that much of a reason to help her out and she was well aware of that.

If it had not been for the orders of Pixel then there was even less of a reason for them to help her out.

There was too much for them to handle in such a short time so Felice had felt like a burden to the group and had many complicated thoughts going on in her head.

Her world view had been shaken up a lot and there were many surprises that had continued to do so.

In her own world, the subordinates and allies of her siblings were those she had to be wary of and were a potential danger to her.

The protection and care that had been given towards her ever since she had arrived on the island had been something she had not experienced in a while.

The last time she had received such protection that came from someone unexpected was when Pixel had protected her from the Glutt family young master.

There were no benefits involved and there was no one that was duty bound to aid her so it was a little strange to her.

It was to be expected to have such thoughts when she had been brought up in a family like the Meridian family where the heirs were competing against each other.

It was unfamiliar but it was still nice for her to experience and the kindness she had received had let her feel grateful and warmer in her heart.

Felice touched the bandaged arm and sat there quietly as she watched Misty leave the room where there were many loud noises coming from outside. "Hah.. what to do about this.."

She couldn't help but feel helpless that she was holding the others back and had wasted their time.

Her thoughts started to go over what she should do if she was able to live through the current events and if she was able to make it back home.

Meanwhile back on the deck of the ship, the Marines were opening fire from the docks to provide cover fire which had kept the Minks very active as they moved around to dodge each of the bullets.

There were several ropes and planks that had been thrown and lifted over towards the ship so that they could get onto the deck but they were quickly kicked away and slashed.

The nearby debris and anything that could be thrown were thrown from the deck of the ship and flew towards the Marines who were opening fire upon them.

"Aah!"

"Damn.."

"Uah.."
