"Inguiness master Kibo. Anything that happens here and we'll know about it instantly."
Storm's voice sounded just a little strained. This she hadn't counted on. This could be a problem.

Kibo picked up on the slightly off tone. But he gave no hint that he did. His mind was racing, but his voice was controlled and smooth, as always.
Kibo: Yep. It's quite a good plan, no?

"And for the light hearted deed of killing the man himself? What of that one?"

Kibo picked up on it. It was time for a test.
Kibo: Actually, I was planning on sending you.

"Me?"
Storm was honestly suprised. She hadn't counted on this one either. She frowned. This was getting old real fast, not anticipating what was happening next.

*Near the docks the crew of the Calchas was listening in on kibo's onversation. a small life boat glided away from the Calchas to the santo Columbia, a few spots down the docks. In moments the three men were on board Michael's ship>*
Crewman: "Captain, we have a breach in security."
*Michael got up and looked at him curiously.*
Michael: What kind of breach?
Crewman: "Well for starters one of our chests has been detonated earlier this eve, but ms. Storm, we caught her talkin to that Botch fellow."
Michael: Did you now?
Crewman: "Yes, he's weary of her, sir and he also talked abotu buggin the ship."
*Tenticles flooded out from the book through the ship eradicating all of Kibo's ruins and spirits.*
Michael: again? KIBO! This is starting to get annoying!
*Michael removed the black book*
Michael: I am hanging up now, Kibo. Now be patient and wait till the end of the month for my surprise like the rest of this island. Just cuz i like you slightly more than them doesn't mean you get a sneak peak.

Kibo glances back at the ship. It didn't matter. The roots had grown, what did it matter that the seed had been destroyed?
Kibo: Yep. You're the most suited for assassinations. You're agile, discreet, and limber.

*Michael walked over to the window.*
Michael: We can't have our new allie lost so easily, can we? You know what to do.
Crewman: "Aye, sir."
*the crewman exits the office and goes to the helm of the Santo Columbia. He lights a flair, which is picked up by the captain of the Calchas. As Kibo continues to tell Storm why he has chosen her for assasinating Michael the bow of the Calchas rams the docks and the bow is now between Storm and Kibo. The captain lights a fuse from the helm and the ship is blown to pieces sending Kibo and Storm into the air. Once Storm lands she is picked up and pulled into a side ally by 3 crewmen wearing handkerchiefs as masks. The crewman of the Santo Columbia Pull her away before the smoke clears onto another ship, Devil's Play. As the smoke clears Devil's Play drifts away from the docks.*

Storm stood, brushed herself off and glared at her abducters.
"You know, you could have just asked. That dock was a very nice dock and I am sure it didn't appreciate being smashed into kindling."

*The lead crewman opens a cbinet revealing a selection of wines as more crewmen bring in food.*
Lead Crewman: "Our appologize ms. Our Captain could not risk complications with the plan. You are our commanding officer, and as of now this ship is under your command. We have protocol to follow in situations like these if you like, otherwise state your orders and we will carry them out. Feel free to help yourself to the food."
*The crewman tunred to leave.*
Lead Crewman: "And if you are worried about Botch, don't worry.*
*He pointed to a metal statue of a Kraken above the doorway.*
Lead Crewman: "Relics like these are all over this ship so he cannot set foot on it or plan his ruins and spirits within our hull. This ship has been designated as your "protector". "
*He looks at how she is unharmed by the explosion.*
Lead Crewman: "Although it doen't seem you would need it. I'll leave you now. My name is Luis Zuan, second mate of the Santo Columbia. Call for me if you should need anything."
*Zuan leaves the room.*

Kibo: And besides, who was the one who told her to stay with me until she was called to rebel?
Kibo walks from the shadows, and points to three rune markings.
Kibo: Pyromancer, Aquamancer, Atermancer. Fire doesn't hurt me, I can run across water, and I can move through shadows. Anything else you'd like to try?

"Took you a little long to get here, didn't it? Apple?"
Storm proffered it to Kibo.
"You're losing your touch, mate, if it took you that long. Honestly, this is just getting tireing, what with being blown around like that."

*Zuan re enters the room with three crewmen carrying additional plates.*
Zuan: "Mr. Botch, just on time. Care to join us?"
*The servers placed a plate at teh seat before Kibo while another pulled the chair out for him.*
Zuan: "My appologizes for the explosion, i like to make a big entrance. No need for introductions? I assume you're already aware as to who I am and what is going on."

Kibo: Well, I've guessed you're a lackey of Miguel, this ship can return to the depths any minute, and you've signed your name in his book. However, I would like to know the name of the man I'm about to kill. Oh, I won't be needing them.
Kibo indicates the seat and the plate, and wordlessly orders them to be taken out of his sight.

Zuan: "Fair enough. Yes was captain of this ship and i was onced sentanced to the gallows, but Don Miguel spaired me that grim ending and gave me this fate in exchange. I must say sailing the seas for eternity, even if under the command of another is more appealing than death. My name is Luis Zuan second mate on the Santo Columbia and captain of the Devil's Play."
*Zuan waits until his guests are seated and then sits himself.*
Zuan: "It will be my job to try and convince you to side with Don Miguel before he launches his attack on Tortuga. He is also willing to pay damages to you for the souls he destroyed. For starters he can negotiate their return to you."
