Nighttime. A small sailboat quietly snuck into Mayender Bay. Two hooded men disembarked. On their arms, they bore the sword and shield tattoo of the Unyielding Legion.
"Has the merchandise been spotted?" They met up with a human male. His eyes darted left and right, scanning the empty docks. Seeing that the coast was clear, he stepped into the moonlight.
"Careful with your words, comrade. This is the former captain we are talking about. She may be the Netheran's pet right now, but she is not for sale." Alec said quietly.
"I'm sorry." The hooded figure apologized. "We seldom refer to such… jobs with anything else."
"Alright." Alec interrupted. "We came for one purpose. To free the Captain and bring her to Felden. Now let's go over the plan one more time so you don't mess up."
"Come here, my pet." A Netheran, slightly smaller than Skorch but with the same square face beckoned. "Your master demands your… warmth." He tugged at the leash.
Yujuki obeyed. She walked over in high heels, her legs dancing around the piece of fabric hanging before her pelvis. Her chest shook in the pure white garment that accentuated her bosom.
"Skorch has really bad taste." The Netheran cackled as he grabbed Yujuki by the waist. Pulling her in, he planted a hot kiss on her lips. "This should be how you enjoy Felina women. You pick the finest, not some random street rat. Make them waddle with every step. Keep them just teetering on the edge of clothesless-ness." He took Yujiki and sat her down in his lap. "Isn't that right? My pet? Hmm?" His black hand ran up and down her legs.
"I am not. Your pet." Yujuki said through clenched teeth.
"Still in denial." The Netheran ran his fingers higher. "You'll come to, soon enough."
Crash! The window of the mansion shattered as the two Legionnaires burst in. Both Yujuki and the Netheran froze in their spots.
"Oh my." Said the first Legionnaire. "Help me here, bro. I'm hard."
"Me too." The other gulped. "I gotta say, the Netherans know how to dress them Felina girls."
Yujuki rolled her eyes. She knocked the Netheran unconscious and grabbed the carving knife lying on the table. Stabbing it into the Netheran's chest, she groped around his waist. Finding the keys to her collar, she unlocked herself and stood up from the couch.
"Thank you for the distractioni, gentlemeni." She said, shaking her silver hair out of her face. "Now, if you have finished gawking at mi," Her cat ears swiveled towards the door, "We must leeve."
"Captain Yujuki, you have been wearing that outfit this whole time?" Alec couldn't help but size her up as they arrived back at the docks.
"No, this was the latest of the Netherani's disgusting ideas." Yujuki replied. "I have seeni you before. Have you served under Captain Kiyoshi?"
"Yes, ma'am." Alec saluted. "Lieutenant Alec. I was Captain Kiyoshi's second in command."
"I see. Are you here oni his orders?" Yujuki took the coat Alec gave her.
"I am afraid not, ma'am. Captain Kiyoshi went down with Felden." Alec said. "You two, begin preparing to set sail. This job isn't finished yet."
Yujuki lowered her head. Her ears leaned forward, the hairs glowing in the moonlight. "Perhaps our love, it was never meant to be." She lifted her right fist to her temple. Looking at the moon, she declared,
"Hail Hydraphel! We will take back our homeland!"
The Legionnaires followed suit. "Hail Hydraphel."
