" Who in the blazes said that!? Do yar have a death wish!? Come on out, so I can blast ye one!" Aurora peaking her head out from the balcony, waved towards the rather portly pirate, a chipper smile on her face, " I said it! Yar har-har!" a mocking twist of a laugh not so subtly pointed towards the mans speech patterns left her gullet, as the captain had one of his men aim a rifle at her and shot. Swiftly she ducked back behind cover, and looked around the bed room, for something, anything... and then she saw it, a ruler sitting on the desk and the perfect plan emerged into her mind, she'd commit a war crime. Picking up the ruler, she rummaged through a one of the drawers of the Brandy's, though she didn't know this was her bedroom beyond a hunch at the time, and picked out some white colored undergarments, placed them on the other end of the ruler and stuck it out the window waving them. The pirates looked up at it confused, with captain Doughnut both frustrated and confused, " Quit playin games! or we will kill this here lass!" " But I surrender." " If ye surrender why are you waving around... oh, right, the white flag, well uh, just uh, come down here and we'll take ye hostage." " Sounds good!" Aurora chipperly spoke as she tossed the ruler and panties into the street, went out the bedroom door, down the stairs, and out the front door, a bit of a skip to her step as she marched into the middle of the street, her only regret being a lack of tumbleweed as she peered towards the pirates, and they back at her, weapons drawn. Clearing her throat Aurora raised her hands into the air, " before you take me prisoner or strong and uh... average looking at best captain, I must inform you that it was not the lass besides you who stole the boat, but it was I! Seriously, it was." She pointed in the direction of two of the rabble rouser pirates to the side, two normal looking men, " They were drunk, I knocked them out and stole it." Captain Doughnut kept a stern face, but he turned to look towards his first mate, " They did say the hair was purple, I thought it was cause of the light but I guess they be right." the very strange looking long legged man just said one word, " Wee" Glancing back towards Aurora Doughnut aimed her sword towards her, " Guess we will have to kill ye instead then, and plunder this town all the same." Aurora smirked, " You could, however that is if you can defeat me, I am a feared warrior, one who possesses the power to shoot people with my very fingers, to make my body hard as iron, to jump on the very air itself! You may be portly, and full of uh, jelly?" She shrugged at that one, " but you'll never defeat me, for I am the mighty, eggplant!" The streets were dead silent as Aurora looked towards Brandy and gave a thumbs up with a stupid grin on her face, the pirates meanwhile she stood flabbergasted and pitting the poor idiot. " Right, so cut her to ribbons." The other Pirates all let out a subdued cheer as they started to march forward towards Aurora, who moved her hands down by her hips as she assumed a shooter stance, her fingers and thumb forming into "pistols", " Draw!" she brought both her hands up as she went " Bang, Bang, Bangbangbang!" carelessly pulling the hammer back, aka her thumb, and blasting at them with the same stupid grin on her face, some of the pirates stopped to laugh, while one approached his sword drawn, " That's enough, why don't you lie down and bleed." he said as he was close enough with his forward momentum to bring his sword down, but as she was having her goofy display her demeaner shifted, her eyes glaring more seriously a cock grin replaced the fools one, her leg moving slightly back as she aimed her right hand at the shoulder of the arm the sword was gripped in, " You first." Pulling down her thumb a bullet hole emerged from the mans shoulder as he dropped his sword and fell to the ground, clutching it in pain, a brief bout of smoke trailing from Aurora's fingertip. " Bang." |

The last couple hours had been hell for Brandy. As if she didn't just have to deal with the drunken navigator for a good majority of the day she was then kidnapped by these pirates and presented to the town as a hostage. That wasn't even mentioning how in between her time of capture and the town hold up she was continually berated by these strange pirates, one of which was a literal giant donut with a stupid accent and another who kept trying to seduce her to star in one of his 'home movies'. Little to say, the Mermaid was a bit downtrodden at this point. Not that she couldn't kick these guys down at any moment, she probably could if her training was paying off, but letting herself be kidnapped both allowed her to get into a better position to deal with them and to see if a certain someone could hold their truth as well as they held their alcohol... Which, would be bad in this case.
The mermaid sat in the center of the village square, hands tied behind her back with rope. Various objects of value were placed before the pirates, some of the townsfolk having given in to the demands to see their doctor unharmed. Of course, even if they did she knew it was futile. They would tear the town down anyway. They just wanted to see the world burn, most pirates did. By this point it was such a repeated cycle in her life Brandy was almost numb to it. She stayed still and silent through most of it, wanting to feign a unthreatening nature. That was, until a certain someone yelled across the town and broke the worried babbles. It grew silent, so silent you could hear a pin drop. Brandy looked up to see exactly who she thought it was. Her heart dropped, and her skin crawled. "... You must be kidding me..." The mermaid internally cringed, seeing her very own underwear being used as a freaking peace flag. If Eggplant had been down here, she probably could have felt the utter embarrassment and anger radiating like a dark aura.
Brandy watched with glaring daggers as the woman reached them and confessed to the crime, spouting more nonsense to the pirates. It was like watching a clown converse with another clown. They were all strange and weird to Brandy, this almost didn't feel real. At this moment, she just kind of wanted to sink into the ground and be dead. She signed, looking to the side where one of Dough's lackies stood. "Hey you, yeah, if could you get that execution over with I would appreciate it. Just right here, on the neck, it'll go right through and I'll be out of this hell. You'd be doing me a favor, actually." She stated quite blankly, gesturing with her neck with her eyes.
"Silence, wrench! The execution will start when the captain says, yeah?" The pirate spat down towards her.
"They wont even let me die. What did I do to deserve this torture?" Brandy cried, long tears streaming down her face as she realized she would have to endure this stupidity for even longer.
Her attention was drawn back to Eggplant as she playfully made some gun noises towards the crew, much like the ones she had made the day prior. Was she still trying to fool people into such a childish trick? It seemed like the village's fate was sealed, that was at least until the pirate she 'pretended' to blast actually looked as though he had taken a bullet to his shoulder. He slumped to one knee, a smoke trail wafting off his skin. Brandy looked down in absolute shock, along with the pirates. "She... She actually can shoot people with her finger??" She most likely would have sat there in shock for longer, if it was not for the immediate danger the village was in. Instead Brandy shook herself out of shock and took this opportunity of surprise to strike. With jolted movement of her hands the doctor broke free of her restraints, jumping up and striking the closest pirate to her. Drawing her fist backward water gathered around in the air, congregating around her hand before she pushed it forward and released the pressure, sending the man flying into one of the stores. Being released from the shackles of confusion some of the other lackies rose their weapons to try and hit her, but they were met with various punches and chops similar to that of standard karate. They were dealt with pretty easily, falling like flies to either her own blows or each other's as one after the other tried to hit the mermaid, only to no effect.
Using her speed Brandy ducked out of the way of a swinging sword and bounced her way over to Eggplant, and popping up beside her.
"To be honest I didn't think you'd come. I suppose those stories of yours are true." She kept her her eyes fixated on her angered pirates and her hands ready to strike. "If you have the big one and his side, I can take the other." She'd like to see just what this girl was made of.

"Hey, I might be boisterous, but I'm no fibber." She smirked as she readied herself for a proper battle, "Sure, half the work i was expecting to pull today." Slamming her right hand into her open left palm, Aurora dashed to the her side of the opposition, the pirates on that side getting their weapons at the ready as she dutifully watched the shots coming from the pistols of some of the pirates, her eyes focusing on the projectiles, her slight training in 'that' skill serving her well as she dodged between them, the shock of many of the pirates holding firm as she slammed into each individual, knocking them to and frow, to the ground or further back, unconscious in the process. A rifleman perched himself on top of a nearby roof, shooting down at her, Aurora dodging just in time, and looking up at the fiend with a scowl. He readied himself for another shot, when she kicked her legs up, jumping on the air itself as she planted a firm kick onto him, knocking him off the building, taking him out of the equation.
Standing on top of the roof the girl looked down as Donut laughed, "Fancy moves there girl, but fancy moves don't win fights against real challenges. Come on, let's see what you've got." Donut in a weird way had some respect, but only enough to know if he could beat her, then maybe a trip to the grand line was in order? Or a marine base? The world would certainly open up for him.

While Aurora was keeping the captain at bay, Brandy would look to the first mate and his own forces to deal with. Raising their rifles they fried at, only to look back and see the doctor was no longer in the area. Confused they looked around, trying to spot where the woman had run off to. Luckily for Brandy, these guys didn't seem to be the sharpest tools in the sheds, and only looked upward when they noticed a glimpse of her shadow. But by then it was too late. Water gathered around Brandy's fist before she punched the air, a giant stream of water shooting out and toward them. They didn't have enough time to dodge, and as such were blasted with a powerful beam of water overwhelming enough to scatter their beaten bodies across the concrete. They wouldn't even have enough time to try and get up, as when Brandy landed she began motioning with her arms, rotating them in a circle in front of her. In response the water within the air formed and spun in the same fashion, forming large whirlpool and sucking them in. They screamed as they were spun and thrown around violently for a few cycles before the water slowed and evaporated into the air, causing their bodies to fall unconsciously onto the ground, completely soaked and battered like newly caught fish.
As the last body dropped a man with weirdly long legs stepped over the various bodies of his men, clapping in applause.
"Bravo, bravo! What a magnificent show of power! Although, for me personally, I would rate it about a five. Far too much water, I'm afraid" he stopped just a bit before the doctor, a large grin on his face. "It's a shame, really. Otherwise it would have gotten a glowing review. You have substance, but no style, Mademoiselle. What you need, is a director to show your full potential. So you may shine like the star you are!"
Brandy scoffed "please, must we really continue with the movie jokes? I've already told you I'm not interested in whatever it is you're planning, creep." This guy had excitedly asked her to be in his movies when she was tied up, something about needing a female lead for some sort of romance film he was writing and starring in. He had even just randomly began to record her at certain points. Little to say, this past nine hours had been her own personal hell. As if this weird film creep wasn't enough, captain doughnut was just as obnoxious with his very existence.
Her words were like a sword, piercing him through his body. "Ah! S-So cold. Oh well, I did try..." Eclair took out his pistols from his side, aiming them straight at Brandy. "If you won't be filmed willingly, perhaps you can star in my indie thriller. Your body will make a beautiful background prop!"

The blow landed square in Aurora's face, knocking the girl back from her offensive push, the portly man's punch having weight behind it. Aurora quickly flipped herself back to her feet to dodge some strange, jelly like attack coming from his arm. "Devil Fruit." A hearty chuckle rang out as he placed the blunt end of his sword alongside his shoulder, "Of course, I'm not called Captain donut because of my love for them, I ate the Dough-Dough fruit, I can manipulate all forms of that pasty delight, to do many, unique, things." his stance shifted to that of a combat ready motion, his blade twisting in the air, the light shimmering off of it as this odd ball of a man posed a potential risk to the girl. Aurora steadied herself, planting her feet firmly into the ground, focusing on her calming her breathing and taking in the environment, the pirates associated with him were dealt with, it was just him and his first mate, if Brandy was strong or at least capable, she could survive long enough for Aurora to assist, and hopefully for longer then Aurora might like, Devil Fruit users were always a pain, especially at the start of a battle.
"Okay, you have a whole bag of tricks then, but tricks can only get you so far, you wanted a fight? I've trained in the grand line, pirate paradise, if you ever wanted to reach there, let me show you what you are in for." Aurora focused her energy into her legs and let it simmer over her body, it becoming looser and quicker. In a flash her speed had picked up, rocketing to new heights as she unleashed two punches and a kick combo towards Doughnut, the man overwhelmed by the attacks, being thrown for a loop himself further down the street. relaxing her stance back, she dashed side to side to keep up her momentum, her hands lightly raised and half fisted, ready to go to blows. The man stirred to his feet faster then she anticipated and took a more serious stance, "Grand line huh? Fine, forget the town girly, this is about my future, and the riches I can acquire, prepare to taste my dough fueled wrath and the dirt all in one thrown together package!"

Eclair fired off his guns simultaneously but Brandy quickly ducked under the bullets and ran towards him. Although she didn't wish to get any closer to this stain of a man, seeing as how he seemed to be more ranged-focused the easiest strategy was to get up close and personal, that way he would have less options of retaliation. At first it seemed to work, as the pirate seemed to grow a bit frantic that she had simply just ran past his bullets, causing him to fire once again but at an angle. Due to it being a misfire the mermaid hadn't seen it coming in time, only reacting at the last second. The bullet just grazed her cheek, causing a bloodied line to form across it as it whizzed past, so close she could hear the whistle of the air. Thankfully it hadn't been an inch closer, or she would be escaping with one less part of her face.
Almost slowing down due to the surprised Brandy instead focused herself again and pushed forward, slamming her fists down in punches as she closed the distance. Eclair, startled, just barely dodged the attacks. He sprung back and forth like an accordion against her blows, turning his worried look into one of smugness.
"Hon-Hon, you think such brutish attacks will graze my handsome face? Fool, I am the first mate of the Donut Pirates! It will take much more than that to-" Interrupting his bragging was a blast of water and a punch to the face, sending him backwards and into a stone wall further into the village. The village folk scrambled out of the way as to not get hit by the flung body, just barely managing to do so. Stone bricks and wood beams splintered down from the hole and fell on top of the groaning man, his face battered and bruised. He only managed to rid himself of the daze when a shadow loomed over him, the pink haired doctor cracking her knuckles menacingly.
"You know, I've had a really, really tough last couple of hours. First I meet this idiot at the bar and talk her up, then I have to carry her drunken body back home and solve the ship problem myself, then I get kidnapped by pirates and the village gets raided, not to mention I was almost executed in the process, and now I have a cut on my face. So, yeah, I think I'm going to enjoy a little stress relief. Thank you for volunteering yourself and your crew, your medical bill will be mailed to you within ten business days. Although sadly-" she paused, a red glare in her eyes "-it seems you don't have insurance."

Captain doughnut covered his blade with the glaze from his finger tips, enhancing the blades strength as he aimed it down towards the super humanly, to him at least, quick girl. It looked as if he had her, but a dash back helped her to narrowly avoid the tip of his blade, some of her bangs being lighten cut in the process. As the specs of purple hair fell in the air, Aurora reading her arm as she lightly held it in the air, extending her finger but once as she jabbed it into the shoulder Doughnut held his sword in, and then quickly again into his free arm. Spurts of blood shot out from the wounds inflicted by the sharp jabs, though it didn't go entirely though, this guy was tougher then she thought. Two swift kicks, the first he avoided only just, knocking him further back towards the outskirts of the main street, his wounds feeling an aching pain as he got to one knee, the grip on his sword tight out of a mixture of pain and sheer stubbornness. "Fancy foot work and some strange skills won't stop me lass, I'll never give up.""
Aurora sighed, "You're bleeding, on one knee, and beaten, give up and don't come back, no one has to die here today, and that's a blessing for everyone." sternly she uttered her words, her motions with a sense of hesitation about them, she had seen that look before, the look that one can't back down no matter what, that life was only in this moment, the short sightedness of it all. She knew if she put him six feet under it would end the violence, end his curse upon the seas, but that same thought was bittered by seeing the faces of those she had done that to, and her resolved steeled, not again.

Eclair watched as Brandy grew closer to him, beads of sweat forming upon his forehead, knowing with each step he was closer and closer to death like a creeping shadow. She was fast, and while he had managed to graze her even he could notice with his captain almost cut down by the other girl they were biting off more than they could chew with this town. There was only one thing he could think to do to save their skin. With a gulp the long legged man cradled himself in his arms, tears streaming down his face. "P-Please, mercy! Have mercy! I-I surrender. Don't hurt me! I submit!" he whined loudly like a sniveling coward. Brandy stopped in place, her angered gaze turning to that of confusion. Pirates never surrendered, not really. They usually were so determined to fine riches or indulge themselves they retreated to fight another day or lay down and die. This was a first. She wasn't even sure what to do for a few seconds, blinking in confusion. Should she stop and let him go to make sure Eggplant was okay? Should she just finish him off anyway? The question brought about by Eclair's exclamation was long enough to distract her from the immediate danger, and a smirk overtook the man's face as a shot sounded from under him, a bullet from a hidden gun hitting Brandy directly in the shoulder. She let out a gasp of pain, retching forward to hold it as the searing agony jabbed into her shoulder and spread like fire through her arm.
Eclair motioned to move up from his spot slowly, his shoulders moving with laughter. "H-Hon-Hon, like I would ever surrender to you. The show must go on. We'll leave this village when you're both dead and its treasure is plundered. We wont give up, not after what your friend did to our crew. The West Blue is our stage and we're its stars! You're just the beginning ac-" Eclair was cut short when a fist knocked his head downward and he was once against flattened against the wall like a fallen stack of cards. Before he could even gather his bearings Brandy knelt down over his body, straddling him to constrict his movements and met his face with her fist. Though he was able to dodge a few by moving his head around eventually the vast amount of punches the doctor was sending his way was just too much. Eclair could only lay there and accept every painful punch, the blood from Brandy's bullet wound dripping down from her shoulder and mixing with his own worsening injuries. All the while the doctor was silent and seething, allowing her attacks to do the talking for her.

Doughnut's legs rattled "You think you know me? You think you can boss me around! I'll show you, I'll show them that captain Dough Nut will never be defeated, nor told to retreat, nor will retreat." His body was heavy, his breathing turned labored, he had to think of how he could land a blow on Aurora, how he could turn the tide of this fight in his favor. His idea, feign an attack. Grasping a discarded pistol near his foot by one of his subordinates, Dough Nut drew it on Aurora, aiming towards her torso as he pulled the trigger. Dodging to the side Aurora went in for an attack, but as she did so he discarded the pistol and slashed his sword down towards her, the sword ready to wound the woman and turn the tide in his favor, in this moment he would claim victory.
Except he wouldn't.
The sword covered in the glaze from his fruit abilities was firmly grasped in the girls hands. He tried to budge it free but to no avail. "Fools like you are why it's called the pirate graveyard." Pulling the sword from his hands, tossing it far behind him, Aurora took an open palm to his face and smacked him, followed by a brutal punch to the gut, a jabbing poke to his thigh, and a kick to firmly knock him to the ground. Dough Nuts body planting itself onto the dirt, his consciousness fading, yet still he tried to stand, but his body didn't listen. "You obtain a strange power from a fruit, and the first thing you do is try and oppress others, to run around like you own the damn world. You are a big fish for normal people, but a tiny minnow when it comes to the world at large. I'm nothing compared to the truly strong out there." Dough Nuts pride had already been smashed, but he could still fight back, "So what... you want me to just give up." "I want you to leave before the marines who were probably called to help arrive." Dough Nut was shocked by her words, "I'd rather die then retreat like a coward." Aurora face grew stern, a deep glare peering down towards the man, her expression a shockingly dark tone from the typically chipper girl, "There are far worse things then death captain. Leave and never come back." "I told you I'd... I'd..." the man passed out the loss of blood and fatigue catching up to him. Aurora worried the blows would kill him, but she figured it would probably be fine, if anything a bit of patching up and a swift kick back onto his ship is all it would take, especially if he was still unconscious.
Aurora sighed as she stood over his body, dusting herself down, her jersey having got the dirt of the road caught on it. "Worst part of only having one pair of clothes, cleaning it." Aurora shook her head slightly, "Better make sure Brandy's doing okay, I did get her into this... oh no." As Aurora peered her gaze over towards the commotion Brandy was causing, she saw a scene that made the color flush from her face, and moving with all speed she would go in to stop it from occurring, she only hoped in this moment she would be fast enough.

A handful of seconds would pass as the beating continued. There was no contest at this point. The pirate was the loser.
Eclair was groaning with every punch to his face, his bruises and wounds growing deeper and deeper. Brandy's fists hurt at this point, but she didn't really care. He was in much more pain than she, and that was the point. Her blows slowed second by second until they stopped completely. The man's face was covered in bulging bruises, and even a few of his teeth were missing. He was a sore sight for sure, no longer radiating cocky energy or bravado, he was just scared. He watched with wide eyes as the doctor sat back in place, her arms falling back down to her sides.
"You pirates are all the same" she choked out, her hair covering her eyes in a blanket of shadow. "All you know how to do is pillage and kill. You have no care for others, only yourselves. You're just like the very Marines you fight against so much." She leaned over to the side slightly, feeling around on the ground. "Do you ever think about all the lives you ruin? All the people you steal from? Probably not, otherwise you wouldn't sleep at night. Your hearts are just that cold, or maybe you don't have one at all." Brandy's tone was dull, yet held a lot of boiling anger, like she was holding back the pure anger and malice ever so slightly. Her hand stopped when she felt the gun the man had dropped, grasping it around her fingers and shoving the barrel inside of his mouth. Eclair tried to fight it, grasping around her hands to try and pull it out, but her strength kept it in place. "Oh? Is that fear? Do you finally feel the thing you push onto others by your actions? Not a good feeling, is it?" The long legged man tried to scream, but given his mouth was full of metal at the moment they were muffled.
"You should have surrendered when you had the chance. I might have let the Marines have their way with you. But now I'll just kill you myself, that way you'll never hurt anyone again!" She let out a terrible yell, her finger pushing back on the trigger to fire directly through his skull. Like a pot of boiling water Brandy's anger had finally hit its limit, and it was spilling over from her usually cold frame.

"Brandy!" Aurora shouted as her body dashed into frame of the scene, her mannerisms non-hostile, but she wasn't a fool, she didn't know if she could hit a gun in time to break it before it fired, but she'd give it a shot if things were going south. "I get it, believe me, I get it, that feeling of hatred, the desire to kill someone for all the wrong done to you and others, but it won't help you." Aurora wasn't the best at this kind of conversing language, but she had seen a few who were and how they talked down innocents from doing something horrible, preventing a mistake. "If you pull that trigger, you'll never be able to forget his face of terror, and it won't make you feel better. I may not have known you long, but I can't tell you aren't a killer, but look at yourself, you have the eyes of one, the same eyes he has, the same ones I do... don't be like me."
Slowly approaching, Aurora reached her hand out towards Brandy, "Give me the gun, they are beaten, they will flee and never come back. Right?" Aurora glared towards the terrified man, who simply nodded as best he could. "The marines will arrive anyway, they will be after them now, they won't be able to continue their pirating ways, you've won."

Eggplant's sudden arrival was enough to make Brandy hesitate with the trigger, the call of her name snapping her back from the red rage. Good, at least the navigator's outcome was about the same as her own and they were successful in defeating the pirates. Only now, the drifter was suggesting they spare the Donut Crew. Was she crazy? If they spared them now they would surely come back in grater numbers to get revenge. That's just how pirates were. They were relentless. If they let them go, there was no telling what would happen after they took time to lick their wounds and rally their people. If they gave them another chance, Lantern Village might not be so lucky next time.
Despite such dark thoughts, Brandy was shaken slightly by the woman's comment on killing. Her eyes widened as she looked into Eclair's, the arm holding the gun trembling. Her? The same as them? She hadn't thought about it like that before... No... She hadn't wanted to think about it like that before. "How do you know?" she asked, her voice quivering. "How do you know they wont come back to kill us all? You say that as if it's without question but, surely now that we're beaten them they'll come back for revenge. What if they do? What about the people they've already killed? What about the next batch of pirates that try? We can't trust the Marines to do anything, this has been going on for so long... This isn't about winning. It's about surviving." she paused, looking up to the purple haired woman. "How can you stand there and be so certain letting them go is the best outcome?"

"I can't be sure, I have no clue where or not they'd return or if it's the best outcome for the village." brutal honesty was spouted with a blunt tone, she didn't know if these guys would stay away, or if anyone would really be safe from them at all, and trying to fluff up a decision with foolish words wouldn't help anyone, though she hoped Brandy wouldn't pull the trigger long enough to listen to her comment further on it. "We can trust the marines to be a deterrent, they are feared for good reason among pirates." Aurora shrugged lightly, she had retracted her arm to show some trust with Brandy keeping the conversation light in her tone, trying to keep up the goofy laid back attitude she normally had on display. Placing her hands in her pocket she sighed.
"You could pull the trigger, that would be the best way to keep everyone safe, but as I said, you'd be just like them. He's horrified, you have all the power and he has none, and he knows his number is up, if you were in the same position would you be as scared or would you instead have determination to keep fighting somehow? I would, I'd never give up." Aurora sat cross legged down onto the dirt street, "I've killed before brandy, men, women, children, innocents and guilty, and I can say this, out of all of them only a fraction felt right, had justification. I can sleep just fine after them but the others? Not a chance. A broken and beaten man who can't harm you on the worst of days being shot in the head because of what if's isn't a kill that would let you sleep at night. You want his face to haunt your dreams, go for it, or you can let him go, let all of these idiots run away. They try for revenge, then you kill them, sure why not, at least you gave them the choice for their life, and have no regrets." Aurora stood up slowly and stretched, yawning a bit before she looked down at brandy.
"Come on, I'm hungry after my workout, and you know the only good places in town, I'll buy."

Brandy hadn't killed before. While shes had her fair share of run ins with pirates she was either too young at the time or had the professor to back her up. But now that she had the opportunity to actually do it, she was hesitating. Eggplant's words made sense, even if she didn't like them. She too was helpless before, like the man before her. The mermaid took in a breath and closed her eyes to concentrate on breathing, images of memories playing before her like a film reel. There was crackling fire, choking smoke, and crumbling ruins of a castle. There were screams like a horrid chorus, and blood splattering against stone. There was the creaking of a dreary ship, muffled sobs, and the smell of sickness thick in the air. The memories faded. Brandy opened her eyes, feeling calmer as familiar surroundings took their form once more. Slowly she pulled the gun from the pirate's mouth and dropped it against the pavement. She stood up, her expression somewhat solemn as she looked down to Eclair. "You heard her, go. Take your captain and crew with you. Don't come back."
Eclair nodded without saying another word. He got up slowly and carefully, watching the two girls the entire time before jogging over to the passed out captain and picking him up. By now the other villagers were using weapons, torches, or whatever else they could find to threaten the scattered pirates into leaving, corralling them towards the docks like a flock of skittish sheep. The pirates didn't argue, simply trying to scurry away before they received the same treatment as their superiors.
Brandy watched the scene unfold before her, grasping onto her injured arm as a subtle breeze ruffled the two. "Thank you, for your help" she spoke, holding her gaze away from the woman. "I'd hate to think of what'd happened if you weren't here. The village is usually more capable of protecting itself but, since I was held captive it was a rougher situation." She smiled and turned her eyes to the navigator, although it was a dour one at that. "I'd take you up on that offer, but I have to look over the townsfolk first to ensure they didn't receive any injuries during everything, and then attend to my own, and then there's the Marines when they show up..." Plus she hadn't gotten any sleep, so after doing her job she was most likely going to pass out for a couple of hours. The threat of sleep was high, and food was low on her list of priorities. "... However... You did just save everyone. It'd be rude to reject the offer, especially when I'm not the one paying. So, if you're planning on staying here a while I could take you up on that. Not like I'll be doing a hell of a lot with this injury." No lifting or swimming for her, not until it was healed enough to take the pressure of movement. "Plus you were here for maps, right? I'm sure we can help you with that. Could probably even convince Wallace to give you a room now." The village would be much more welcoming to its hero... Even if she was the one who got them into this mess in the first place... But that was beside the point. They didn't have to know that now, did they? After all, the navigator cleaned up her own mess, and Brandy wasn't that petty.

She actually let them go? Huh. Aurora felt a bit proud, not of herself but of Brandy for doing the right thing without fully realizing why it was the right thing. The pirates ran, the various grunts skittering away with their captain and first mate who fled without saying much of anything fear in their eyes as the now brave townsfolk scared them off. Justice had been done, though Aurora viewed it more as justice for the last island this group had been to rather then justice for this island they had barely harmed. Brandy seemed to praise Aurora, saying how if she hadn't been here things would be different. That certainly was true, but it was Aurora's fault they even came to this island in the first place, so she didn't really view it as a selfless act worthy of praise, it's true they might have attacked anyway but that was a what if not a reality. "I kind of lured them here so no real praise needed, it was the least I could do in the situation." Shrugging the girl looked around at the small celebration taking place before looking back at Brandy.
"Oh, you did get shot. That's no big deal, I've been shot plenty of times." Aurora smiled as she stood proud of her combat history in that regard, and her twisted sense of pain in that regard. "Here, let me get the bullet for you." In a flash Aurora motioned with her fingers, quickly squeezing them into the wound and popping the bullet lodged in Brandy free, "Boom, done, let's eat."
