The Spider and the Tiger

The Mission
"Sit, quietly." Legs instructed to the tied up marine captain. Tears streamed down his face, and his body trembled in fear. This was often the reaction that Legs brought about most people, but even moreso right after she had just killed their greatest friends. Though, did she enjoy it? Of course not, but her fear and reputation were all needed for her to protect the ones she loved, and liberate the same world that she lived in. For now, the marine ship was needed so that she could slip into the that was being issued against one of her own islands, and hopefully prevent it. Being a, transversing the oceans in her ship was as visible as if the moon approached the world. They would see her coming hundreds and thousands of miles in advance. This was why she stole the marine ship. So that she could move anonymously.

Legs nodded to one of her Kūja who stood next to her, mentally issuing instructions to watch over their prisoner. The captain was needed alive just in case that pesky marine headquarters wanted to check in on their status. Afterall, they were going to be several hours behind. The warrior nodded back, and Legs departed the damp, lower decks of the ship for the upper deck. As she stepped outside of the wooden ceilings, she welcomed the afternoon sun with a smile.

"Hey Boys," she announced as her voice pierced the world around her, drawing the attention of all of her crewmates. "Well done on capturing the ship. But, remember that our job is not yet over," she said calmly. "Those marines are trying to destroy one our own homes, some of our people, all because they fear their abilities." She took a pause to let that sink in. If Legs went around killing people because of the possible threats they pose, she wouldn't even have a crew. "This is what they do. This is what they call Justice; it is hypocrisy. This justice is a way to bring upon mindless idiots like the ones we just exterminated who believe they're fighting for a righteous cause. It is that slogan that allows these monsters to convince themselves that what they just did was noble, and it's what help these men sleep at night." Despite the nature of her speech, Legs never once raised her voice or changed her tone. It was still calm oddly enough.

"So, when we arrive to the island, remember this, and spare no mercy against our enemies. Show them our justice. Show them our light. And then, make them embrace it."
