Hissmile fell again, not having been expectign an answear like that, especilly not the last part. Save him? Help him? What was it with this guy.... "The more I egt to know you, the less you act like a pirate," he stated, before smiling to himself. "At least what I sued to think a pirate was... you barely know me, why do you suddenly care so much?" he asked curiously.
Akima sighend annoyed at the same question being repeated once more and sat up, leaning in close towards the others face. "Shit happens all the time, even I get troubled by it sometimes," she hissed and stood up. "I was just being crancky...now stop fuckign worryi-" Her head snapepd towards the shadows, gun in hand and ready for whatever it was she had seen. She smirked. "Anyone else heard that?" she asked as she staredt to walk further away from the light.
Loki had heard something as well, and stumbled up on his feet in alarm. Seeign their captain walking closer to the dark, his eyes widened in panic and moved to stop her. "Wait! I told you to stay away fro-" A sharp cry suddenly broke out again, the same as before, only this much louder and closer. Before Loki coudl react, somethign shot out form the darkness behind them and grabbed his ankles, givign a hard tugg until he fell forward before startignt to dragg him away. Shadows from all aroudn them staretd to come otu, reachign towards them.

Jim just lay there for a moment in silence - why did he care so much? He had met many people before and never gave a fuck about them, what was so different this time? But before he had time to answer - both Akima and Loki was on their feet, and that horrible cry was here again. Once Loki was being dragged away, Jim quickly threw himself over to him and took his hands to drag him back again. "What is this?!" Jim shouted out in frustration while he was both trying to rescue Loki, and avoid the other shadows.
Since their guide had told them it was shadows, and to stay away from the darkness - Aladdin began to set more wood on fire and threw them around the place so that they had more light. Atleast it couldn't hurt.... "How can these hurt people? They're just shadows..?!" He frowned and thought about the dead person from before.

As the shadows surronded them, and clealry didn't react to bullets, it only made them bakc of for a few seconds before lashing otu at the again. Akima threw away the gun, backing away closer to the fire while looking for somethign inside her jacket. "Who knows? The dont' seem to liekto leave any leftovers" she snickerd, smiling with glee as she fished something up from her pockets and then it towrads where the teens were.
Whatever ti was Akima had thrown at the shadows holding Loki, suddenly erupted in bright flashlight, makign the shadow holdign him cry out in pain and let go. He hurridely tried to stand up, almsot falling into Jim. "A flash bomb. Good, she actually does litsen," he breathed out, leanign into Jim to catch his balance.

Jim wrapped his arms carefully around Loki as he himself tried to catch his breath and calm down from the sudden attack from the monsters. "Atleast now we know what it is.. Kinda" He said and looked around the place if there was any more here before he turned his gaze back to Loki. "Are you okay?"
"Do you have any more of those, Captain?" Aladdin asked and ran his hand through his hair so that he could see through his bangs. "It's gonna be a long night, and they will probably come back.."

As if suddenly realising their positon, Loki quickly straightend up and took a few steps back, brushign off the dirt from his cloths. "I'm fine, just sore ankles and some hurt pride," he said blankly, turnign away to hide his embarrassment. SIghing, he looked into the dark, knowing they would soon be back. Stayign here wouldn't mayeb be the safest...
Akima was lookign liek a child on christmas, handing Al a small pouch with flash bombs. "Be wise when you sue them~" she sang, tossing the same thign to Jim. "I couldn't save more thna this during the crash~"

Jim looked up at Loki a little confused before he stood up himself and turned to Akima once she tossed some flash bombs to him. "Thanks, Captain.." He nodded and tied the pouch to his pants so that he easily would reach them. He turned his gaze back to Loki and placed his hands in his own pockets. "Why is your pride hurt? They could've done that to anyone of us.." Jim shrugged blankly.
"Should we be heading back from where we came from?" Al asked Akima with his arms crossed. "and then come back when the sun is up? When the flash bombs are gone - we're doomed.." He said with a little chuckle

"Weeeeeeell...." Akima began, gaze wandering around the their little 'camp', noticing it was near impossible to see anywhere with allt he darkness swalloing everything up. "If we're smart, we shoudl head back, yes," she nodded, and began walking the opposite direction.
Loki rolled his eyes, efore givign Jim a flat look. "i was beign sarcastic," he mutterd, efore quietly adding: "....thanks by the way...."

Aladdin began to smirk and started followed Akima - he didn't even think she would walk back.. Typical Akima.. "You know, soon everyone will call us "the stupid pirates" .." Aladdin chuckled and took a deep breath from the fresh air. Once they passed the fire, Al picked up a thick stick that could be used as a torch. It wouldn't help aginast the shadows, but they would atleast see where they were going..
"No need to thank me.. I promised I would protect you the best I can" Jim smiled gently at Loki before he started to follow Akima & Aladdin. "I just hope that you would do the same for me one day.." he shrugged blankly

Loki blinked up at Jim, before givign him a frown. "I'm not that heartless, so don't you worry about stuff like that. I do not enjoy beign in other people's debts," he stated and walked past him, allowing a small happy smile to creep out once his back was a few steps ahead of Jim.

Jim smiled slightly and laughed silently to himself when Loki was a bit away from him, and quickly ran up beside him a short moment later. Since it was so dark, it would be difficult to find each other if they got separated. "So how did it feel like?" Jim asked curiously "When it took you? Did it really felt like hands, or something "shadow-like"..?"

Lok frowned to himself recalling almost gettign killed a few minutes before. "It felt more like.... calws," he mumbled in thought. "Calws that were trying to break through my skin. The more closer I got the dark, the more I felt like gettign swallowed up by something." He gave Jim anouther flat look. "I should be mentally scarred right now."

Jim let out a little laugh again at his last comment, but then remembered that the worst he had been through was babysitting.. "Sorry.. I guess that when you're almost killed every day, you're getting used to it." Jim shrugged with a little smile. "Don't think about it. You're here, aren't you? Then it's no use to look back at what just happen.. Try to figure out why they haven't attacked yet instead.."

"Yeah... actually that is really starting to bother me," he murmured, lookign around the dark ruins, knowing the creatuers where there, waiting...but for what? "The could kill us withotu even trying like this... I guess they like games as much as those two," he chuckled weakly, starign at the 'gown up's.

"Yeah.. It's not really like they can die or anything.. I mean, they are the darkness.." Jim frowned before he smiled again when he was looking at Akima. "She will probably lead us to our death one day.. But we'll have fun while it is happening.." He chuckled

"...you really do see them as family huh?" he sad afetr a moment of watchign Jim's expression. "But... does she think like that too? Or does she just treat you all like tools for the heck fo it?" His eyes lowerd, not hat eh coudl really see the ground they were walking on. he had seen part of the captaisn mind, and hand't been anything pretty.
"Hey Ali," Akiam whisperd, tugging at the tanned man's arm to come closer. "If you die, will egt to inherit your old fashioned swords?"
