Two little black panels slid down on her face, then she turned invisible.
They were in the central room, where Aaron was before running to hide. The Pirates were in groups, going back to their ship. In tow, they had valuables, money and prisoners, who would most likely end up in slavery or human trafficking. But not today.
"Let's get out of here already and blow this place up. I'm tired of seeing these rusty ass walls."
One of them complained, as he oversaw the prisoners.
One of these said prisoners, a small boy, manage to break free of his bonds and run away. He didn't run far, though, before striking an invisible spot. The pirate simply chuckled and shot at the boy, but the bullet was slashed apart in mid air...
"What the..?"
Not too long of a moment passed before Light uncloaked while standing on his shoulders. She drove her blade through his body, cutting him in two halves, blood spraying everywhere. She looked at the prisoners.
[i]"Go."[/i]
It didn't take them long to follow the word of the woman. Quickly though, pirates came out of the airlock to fight her.

Aaron watched her grace with awe, she was flawless in everything. "Wow..." He whispers to himself.
-
The Pirates ran out to the room to shoot her down. While some stood back to fight her with guns, some ran at her with swords to attempt at killing her. She ran forward, weaving her sword in an infinity pattern in front of her, deflecting the ranged attacks. As soon as any of them got close, their fate was sealed. No amount of armour or strength mattered. The blade cleaved through them like they were absolutely nothing, cutting them into pieces, sending blood gushing everywhere around the room and onto her. They began loosing hope as they were killed one by one or in pairs. To kill those at a range, she ran across them with her blade held sideways. She ripped off all of their spines, crushing them all in one blow, feeding her energy.

It was beautiful in a macabre sort of way, a dance of death. He watched, eyes wide the whole time.
-
She looked back at him for a moment, he could see the red glare in her eye, the call for blood. She ran into the pirate ship. Struggle was heard, the sounds of heated combat. Interminable minutes passed, until the explosion could be felt shaking the station. A trail of smoke flooded through the airlock, and out walked Light.
-
"I assume they're all dead..." He calls down.
-
She sheathed her blade, she was walking in that pace she always did. Strong. Confident. Graceful. [i]"Yep. Nothing left of them."[/i]
-
"So... What now?" He asks.
-
[i]"I dunno about you. But I'm gonna go get some lunch."[/i]
-
"Mind if I join you?" He asks, following her.
-
[i]"Go right ahead."[/i] She cracks a smile, which she had never done so far. An old man was walking back behind a counter, dusting his dirty apron. He was fat, bald and had a kind look to his worn face. "Light, my girl! Thanks so much for getting us out of trouble again..." She walks up to the counter. [i]"Anything for you, Lars, as long as you keep the amazing food coming!"[/i] She giggles slightly. "Here, let me cook something for ya, on the house!"
-
He walks up next to her. "So what do you usually get?" He asks. He was a little confused as he didn't really know what that laugh meant.
-
"Little light here always gets herself some got dogs. She loves 'em." The old nan chuckles. "What'll it be for ya, sonnie?"
-
"I'll take the same as her." He says.
-
"Comin' right up!" Light smiles, then turns back to go take a seat.
-
He follows her, sitting near her, but giving her space. "So... You eat here often?"
-
[i]"Every time I get shore leave. This place isn't much, but it was my home when I had none."[/i]
-
"That's nice... We all need a place to call home..." He says with a warm smile. "So who do you work for anyways?"
-
[i]"Triumvirate. I'm a specialized agent."[/i]
-
His eyes widen... This was an agent of his cousin? "Oh... I... Wow... I was thinking about signing up. To be employed there."
-
[i]"well then, you're in luck. We hire just about anyone."[/i]
-
"Ah... The expendable ones." He says with a smile.
-
She raises an eyebrow. [i]"The who?"[/i]
-
"Nevermind..." He says, shaking his head. "So... What do random applicants like me get to do?"
-
[i]"I don't exactly know the whole works of it. But what I'm guwssing you can do is specify where you would want to work."[/i]
-
"Ah... Alright.." He says. "So... Do you like working for... Them?"
