Millie frowned at the lack of response from the Captain, and strained her eyes in the precipitous darkness in an effort to locate the shaggy miscreant. She took a step forward and winced, doubling over in pain as the shallow bullet wound in her abdomen reminder her of its presence. It was even more unexpected when she sank to the deck on one knee, with the edges of her vision going blurry. Oh god...no. The armor should have protected her better than this! She couldn't be about to...oh god...
...
...except, no. That wasn't what was happening. To Millie's own perception she was fading into unconsciousness...but what was happening on the outside was far more sinister. There was screaming...a terrible pitched screaming that permeated the deck. Everyone froze and looked to its source. It was the crazy human girl, but it was not another mere battle cry. Something was happening to her. The seams of her metallic armor were splintering as her bodg contorted and warped into abominable shapes. She keelee forwards and retched loudly as a multitude of writhing tendrils burst from her unhinged jaw, each one shrieking with its own, spine toothed mouth. The horror was indescribable, an aberration of the Omniverse whose own wretchedness was thrown into start contrast by the vicious lightning and pelting rain that framed the dour scene. Some of the pirates began firing on the creature, determined to slay the abomination. There was no sense in believing that, just because the wobbling mass of feelers and warped appendages had sprung from the young body of one of their new crew mates that it would spare them its wrath. The Pokémon of the Frontier began assailing the monstrosity in kind. All at once, some sort of trunk, or spine of some sort extruded itself from the popping, clicking exoskeleton that was the beasts back. Grafted inside the mass of writhing flesh was an object of cold, hard metal. The Negotiator.
The sound was best left not described as the energy cannon tore into the collected assailants with feral intent, even as the slithering mound flopped messily off the deck of the Black Pearl. It slid into the ocean like a greasy wad of offal, the red hot glow of Negotiator sinking quickly into the nameless depths below, and in a following instant, The Leviathan was gone. All was silent, save for sea and storm...

And, we dream of home I dream of life out of here Their dreams are small My dreams don't know fear I got my heart full of hope I will change everything No matter what I'm told How impossible it seems We did it before And we'll do it again We're indestructible Even when we're tired And we've been here before Just you and I
Don't try to rescue me I don't need to be rescued
Don't try to rescue me I don't need to be rescued
