From our position, we could not see it but there was a civilization living on this small planet. I mistook it for a moon earlier because of how dark it was and how little gravity it had. We basically floated with every step.
There were other ships here too, I counted about ten and quit since they went on and on. It seems like whatever was going to be discussed here may end up including a fight soon after. Either amongst ourselves or against the officials, the former being what I was anticipating.
But then again Final Stand called us to one of their home bases and in large numbers so this must mean they have bigger numbers or they believe that they are that much stronger than the collective. I suddenly felt more interested in meeting them now. Maybe this might be worthwhile after all.
Sekai started cooking while the Mona and Sizana continued their argument outside of the ship. I think they liked floating around. I sat with Choka, Neo, and Arnold next to the main entrance and just looked on into the lights cast by the others.
I noticed a guy approach us a little bit later on and he had with him 3 others. There were 2 girls and 2 boys and all of them looked like trouble. I wondered if they were also here to join Final Stand or if they were already part of it because they walked like they owned the grounds.
They stood just below us, "Which one of you here is the captain?" One of them asked.
"I am," Arnold raised his hand.
"What are you waiting for then? Come down here and greet your seniors."
"Seniors, are you guys a part of Final Stand?" Arnold phased through the ship and looked at them. They jumped back after a little scream.
"So it is you, phantom of the 7 stars, Stowaway Arnold." The guy in the front spoke, he was wearing a large robe similar to mine. His was buttoned all the way and left little room for his feet. He had goggles on his head and a full beard with red eyes.
"And you must be Red Dot," Arnold said, he looked at the others. "That then must be Seraphin and Lela and the other man should be your captain Crawford."
"You seem to know about us." Red Dot said.
"No, your names are written on your jackets."
"Ill-mannered brat, are you saying that you have never heard Crown Bridge before?"
"Your spokesperson is rather loud." Arnold completely ignored Red Dot and faced Crawford.
"INSOLENT..." Red Dot was interrupted by Crawford putting his hand on his shoulder.
"You're an interesting fellow, Stowaway Arnold."
"They call me Irongrip."
"Who?"
"Irongrip."
"Nobody calls you that."
"Want me to come down there and make you the first one?"
"You are welcome to try, but be warned..."
Arnold punched Crawford in his chin so hard he sent him flying back a few feet. Crawford landed and made holes in the ground. I looked down because he could have some potential.
The [Supreme eyes] automatically activated themselves and gave me Crawford's information, he had four skulls on him. One yellow and had a number below him, this showed how long he would live, the next was red and it meant I could kill him even before that timer hit zero. The other one was blue and had a triple-digit attached to it, that was his body count. The last one was black and had no number or description. I smiled because this meant that I had found my first target.
[Affirmative, the black skull over the pirate's head shows that their future was drastically changed by the regressor and if they have a red skull it mean they can no longer be saved. You are advised to get rid of them in a way that will not cause any more growth.]
'You mean like, a heart attack or something?'
[It must be natural and not give anyone a reason to seek revenge.]
'That's impossible, even he were to be killed rightfully someone somewhere is going to want to take revenge. Unless what you are saying is asking me to read between the lines.'
[I wish good fortune on the young master.]
'A book would honestly do a better job than you.'
[:(]
"I have been waiting for someone to do that all night, I did not expect it to be from the smallest crew here but this works out just fine," Crawford said as he wiped the blood off of his face.
"So you did come here to pick a fight?"
"You sound as if you knew already," I said while looking down on Arnold.
"I am a very smart guy you know?"
"Your tone is not convincing, you act more like somebody who can see the future."
"Do I?" He tilted his head to look me in the eyes.
This man did not have a skull on his profile the other day and today he had a red one with a very quick death date on it. If he was a regressor there was no way he was planning on letting himself get killed off this quickly. If only I had a way to view this world's history, then everything else would make sense. For now, I will let them have their fun and just look into Arnold, I will just go to the shiniest ship and ask around for information.
I jumped off and landed next to Arnold, Crowford's men got into fighting stances and pinned their eyes on us.
"I don't have the time to entertain you guys," I said as I turned to leave to my left.
A boulder appeared very quickly in front of me, it caused some dust to rise from the ground and just stick around in the atmosphere for a quick while.
"No, please stay. We have a lot to talk about you, I, and your captain." Said Crawford, half of his body was covered in materials resembling the ground of the moon and he had a wicked toothy smile that shone in the dark.
