Love In Sirens
The control of the ship has been taken over

All eyes were on the open door. The crew who had turned their backs to the main door finally turned to look at Arios who was standing upright while looking at their neutrals one by one. Some crews were seen sitting down suddenly, because their leg muscles were suddenly confused until the leg was no longer able to hold their limp bodies instantly.

"Ah.. Did I surprise you guys?" ask Arios while smiling sideways.

Their jaws slowly fell down, watching the door open and revealing a figure they had been trying to avoid. Too scared just by Felix, not wanting to meet more than that but fate says otherwise.

"What's wrong? I guess you shouldn't be so surprised by my presence, should you? After all you have caught my favorite men," said Arios still with a slanted smile that makes his figure look more terrible.

From the looks of it, they felt that Arios was stronger than the sirens they had caught before. The evil aura he emitted also looked even more gripping than before. Tio exited the door of the R deck, facing directly into the vanguard keeping his men behind him. The unperturbed soul began to possess the sturdy body of Tio who was as good as Arios.

The intimidation that Arios gave off was unable to pierce through a soul as strong as Tio steel, no fear was incised in his face. His blackish netra hit directly the reddish eye highlight of the siren before him.

"What do you really want?" tio asked flatly, his calm tone showing the emotional stability he had with all his might kept. So that things do not happen that are desired.

Arios tilted his head, "wait a minute." he said softly while closing the distance between them, "I seem to know you."

"Don't approach our captain!" jhonson shouted with a trembling voice.

Arios who originally still wanted to keep the distance between himself and Tio automatically stopped his steps. Sayup-sayup he slightly glanced towards the source of the voice, staring at the tense face of Jhonson who did not match his guts.

Arios' laughter began to sound loud seeing the frightened facial expressions of Jhonson and the rest of the crew. He felt like he had not seen such a scene for a long time made himself subconsciously feel happy.

"It turns out your men are brave enough, too, Mr. Tio Ivankov Valmord."

Tio termangu, it turns out that the siren in front of him actually remembers his real name Tio. Though the identity used so far is only limited to 'Tio Valmord' without using his surname, 'Ivankov'.

There is a special reason that makes him not include his surname. In addition to protecting his identity from the intel who are very curious about his family's genealogy, the, another reason he tried to protect himself from the pursuit of journalists who until now still explore the truth and his response behind the tragedy of the ship that took the lives of his grandfather and father.

Arios took one of his weapons which was his dorsal fin which he had modified in such a way. Looking at that extremely familiar weapon, Tio immediately recalled this monstrous figure before him.

"You're Arios?" tanyanya.

Arios smiled to show his fangs longer than Felix, "it turns out you still remember me. I thought you had forgotten," she said.

Tio smiled obliquely, "how did I forget about assassins like you guys, especially you. Leave this ship or I'll kill you!" tio Ancam.

"Wow wow, you've dared to threaten him apparently. Tio petite has grown into an adult now," led Arios by putting on a face pretending to be afraid.

Tio who saw the annoying attitude of Arios clenched his hand held back the anger that he had held for a long time this life. Like magma vomit on a sleeping mountain that suddenly overflowed when someone disturbed the stability of his emotions.

At this time in Tio's hand was still tightly clutched by the sword which was still covered in siren blood that he had cut off his hand. The sword he pointed forward, sticking straight towards Arios who still kept looking down on Tio with the look of his eyes.

The atmosphere in the core deck again shook fiercely to find the two leaders who were intimidating each other, trying to show the strongest identity between the two while maintaining the honor of their people. This implied as if to be the scourge of self-esteem defense, there is no other way but to fight the enemy alone.

"You still have business with me!" tio said with a shaky voice, holding back the emotions that were getting longer and more managed to master his anger lust.

Arios certainly did not stand still to see the enemy before him had entered into resistance mode, as he took the same position to equalize. Although he knows, who will win this match but there is no harm in making his opponent feel high but lulled with wishful thinking.

He had already calculated all the probality, but somehow Arios never ignored or his opponent. Although cunning, he also had a manners that he always held firmly in him. Don't you think all cunning, evil and vindictive creatures don't seem to have the principle that always guides them. Even Gloria herself has her own life principles.

"It seems so," Arios replied as he pointed his weapon forward, "I will play honestly with you. Curious how powerful a child of Ivankov's descent is, you better not disappoint your ancestors."

Tio moved his legs, shaking off the distance between the two until their weapons united to each other in mid-air. The battle between them could no longer be avoided.

Wusses..

The two leaders put up their best horses, along with their resounding cries signaling their battle to begin. Arios first weaved his weapon to almost hit Tio's face which could be slashed immediately if not held with the sword in his hand.

Cling...

Wusses..

"Nad.ara.. It turns out that you are agile as well to resist my attacks," said Arios with a big smile, "you have really been training hard apparently."

Tio did not comment on Arios' statement, he was still resting with his feet and hands that resisted Arios' very heavy attack. His strength was truly incredible, making Tio hold his leg with all his might, he was difficult to move at the moment.

His chance to attack was completely drained away from seeing Arios's attack power that had consumed a lot of his physical strength. The sweat had started flooding Tio until his hands were a little slippery, making his hand grip slip. To avoid fatal injuries, Tio deliberately dropped himself to the floor causing a long enough incision on his forehead to cut off some of his front hair revealing his eyes that had already been lost.

Cling..

"Arghh.."

"Captain!" his crew shouted at the same time as they saw Tio fall to the floor. They couldn't get close, other than because the siren was no match for them other reasons as well they didn't want to be a burden for the captain.

Tio who heard the cry of his crew turned his head back, "why are you guys still here? Do you have no intention of saving yourself? You idiot!" yell Tio frustrated.

His crew was completely insensitive at all. They guess what Tio attacked the siren for if not to distract him from his men. Instead they just watch, how Tio is not upset himself if it is like that.

Hans scrunched his forehead, "t-but captain, we can't leave—"

"Go now! It's orders!" his decree forcefully used the authority of his rank to resuscitate all of them. Otherwise, they would not have gone to save themselves.

With a feeling of unease, they all finally decided to carry out his captain's orders. Whatever the circumstances, the order must be executed. That is what they are taught.

"Okay captain!" they shouted again with teary eyes, unable to bear to leave the captain fighting alone.

Hans and Roni take command for the remaining crew and direct them to move to the rear deck leaving Tio and Arios fighting on the core deck. They also dragged Felix forcibly to be taken hostage, it was not easy to take him but they had to keep their little lead. The crew's footsteps begin to disappear in the long passageway of the ship, leaving the bodies of Will and Tio fighting there.

Tio hugged his sword, helping him to stand up and again pointed it forward.

Tio furrowed his brows confusedly,"what do you mean?"

"You think?" Arios asked back.

"No need to beat around the bush!" ketus Tio was impatient. Talking to Arios made him always quickly lose his patience easily.

Arios chuckled softly, "oh well. I just regret your orders to your crew, Tio."

Tio was still speechless, trying to hear the continuation of the sentence that Arios was going to say again. However, what he was waiting for instantly left him at a loss for words.

"You know that your captain is dead, right?" chirp Arios with a tone of voice that is softer than before, impressed hoarse and very deep.

"What exactly do you want to say, damn it?!" pissed Tio.

"Wait a little while longer" said Arios as he changed the look of his eyes looking in all directions enthusiastically. A very ambiguous change made Tio feel that something bad was going to happen next.

Until suddenly the direction of the speed of the ship that was originally stable became irregular. Tio rounded his eyes perfectly, his responsibility to guard his ship's crew made him forget one other important thing: the control of the ship.

"What are you doing?!" yell Tio frustrated. He really didn't think that the sirens could take over the helm of the ship easily up there.

Arios smiled triumphantly, "didn't you guys get on the boat? Why forget the most important thing about running a ship? Are you stupid or what?" his sarcastic taunts made Tio unable to dwell.

In any case, they have really lost.

...***...

Duckin...

"Aw!" jacob's moaning that was hit by the wall of the ship because of his sudden wrong footstep was unstable.

Not only him, everyone there was also a lot of people who fell down because of their rocking footrest. They realized something was wrong from the direction of the ship at the moment.

"What's going on? What direction does our ship go in change?" ask one of the crew.

Hans, who was on his knees after falling due to the ship's shock, stood up straight again by leaning against the wall of the ship, "it seems so," he replied as if.

"Y-that's right!" the ship's crew's roar indicated that he was very shaken this time.

Seeing the changing atmosphere around them made Felix who was also among them just chuckle softly, realizing his sacrifice was not in vain. He did not have much contact anymore, because his body was getting weaker due to his recklessness biting his own tongue which caused him to lose a lot of blood until the remaining dry blood around his mouth.

Jhonson who saw that furiously pushed Felix's body into the wall of the ship making a loud noise that slightly echoed.

"This must be one of your plans, right? You sly siren!" jhonson shouted in frustration right in the face of Felix who was still chuckling since then.

Arnold held Jhonson's emotion-filled shoulders back, "calm down, Jhon."

"How can I calm down? That damn siren really made me want to kill them with my own hands! Arrghh, shit!" his rampage while hitting the wall of the ship, evaporating his emotions.

All thoughts are with Jhonson at the moment. They also feel frustrated, scared, panicked, confused, and helpless at the same time. They were also not only surrounded from all sides, even their ships were already on the plow. Not to mention the guilt of leaving the body of Will and the captain who fought alone was still repeated in their minds.

Jacob sighed softly, "Bang Ron, do you have a plan? At least there's something we can do right now" he asked, looking at Roni with a tired look.

Roni fell silent. He tried to think about their survival plan, there must be a chance even though he was not sure it would run smoothly.

"I'm not sure" he said softly, there was no confidence there.

"Tell me, bang!" exclaiming Daniel who no longer care about Felix who is around him, their safety is the main thing today.

Roni looked at all the crew one by one, "did you see the captain's signal when he told us to leave? The captain sent us to the back deck earlier," he said.

Soni scrunched her forehead, "do you mean? I didn't see anything" he said.

"I don't either" exclaimed the rest of the crew.

"Just as I see nothing but hearing the captain's orders, too" Jacob said with a puzzled face.

"I see" said Hans softly.

The spotlight turned to Hans at this time, along with the look on their bewildered and astonished faces.

"The captain gave a signal by clenching his left hand. Like this," Hans showed his fist in accordance with the gesture given by his captain earlier, "i'm sure you know what he means."

Their sad eyes are now starting to sparkle happily, like there is hope to appear even if only a speck but can greatly improve their mood at this time.

"Sheel!" exclaim Daniel.

Hans and Roni nodded. Their captain actually kept their safety in check when he himself was unsure of his own safety. The admiration for Tio's figure grew even more in their hearts, what a noble man they thought.

"But, first we have to get down to the back deck first. We have a plan there" Roni said.

"Well," the other reply was simultaneously followed by their footsteps walking towards the back deck, making it the new headquarters.

They have to think about what they should do carefully. Just leaving is the same as dying.
