Chapter 136 - Unagi

"Ruby, why didn't you punch her?"

"Darius!!!!"

"I couldn't. She's a frog. She'd freeze up and block it."

"I'm sure you could get a few in here and there."

"DARIUS!!!"

"What? I'm just saying. You're a ghost now and as such can go through any solid or otherwise. She disrespected you, your family, your siblings, and all that you believed in. Told you it was nothing but a lie. If I were you I'd….."

"BUT YOU'RE NOT!!!"

"Ruby!!!"

"....I've buried the past. It died when I died. Time to move on."

"Then why did you fight the Dragon?"

"Same thing I did as before. To protect."

"But you never answered our question earlier. Who or what are you protecting? You throw the word around but are you protecting the 'Town', or your 'Siblings'?"

"Just drop it, please?"

"FRESH FISH. FRESH FISH!!!!

*BURDONNNNNG. BURDONNNNNNNG*

"How old is this town? The Sea-Fairers still come in? I wanna see, I wanna see."

"Would you like to see how it's done?"

"I'm surprised you even asked. Catch me if you can."

"Darius, wait. There's something down there that..."

*Errrrchhhhhh*

"Hey, watch it. Live Cargo here."

"Wooo!!! I didn't know they were real. What's her name?"

"Darius, you have to learn to stop when we say wai...…..Is that a Mermaid?"

"You've never seen one before, Ma'am?"

"I.....um…..No. Why do you have her in a cage?"

"Mistress wants tooo…."

"Shut up."

"I meant, we need to form a relationship with all that is around us, so..."

"Force is the answer?"

"Well, we can't exactly go down to their world."

"I can."

"You? But you're just a girl."

"Don't judge me too soon."

"Captain, I see you've caught a new.....Ruby?"

"You're the Mistress?"

"HEY, don't let Ruby near that cage or else she'll….."

*Zroom*

"What the? Where'd the cage go?"

"Jasmine, look. A flying Unagi in space."

"Hu….where? *Watisssh….stick*

"EVERYBODY, RUN!!!!!!"
