(Merlin arrives to where Shion and Anastacya were)
Shion: What happened? Where's Joss?
Anastacya: Oh no Vita!
Merlin: She is ok. Just sleeping. I need that the two of you go to the port and try to find Joss.
Shion: But what happened to---
Merlin: Just...go.
(Both went to the port in search of Joss. Meanwhile, the Deadman awakens naked and in a cell.)
Joss: Uh? Where am I? Wait..WAIT...WHERE ARE MY CLOTHES?!
(A figure approaches Joss.)
Voice: All your belongings are with me.
Joss: H-HEY!! Could please give them back?
(He tries to cover himself)
Voice: That will not be possible for the moment.
Joss: Just who are you?!
(The figure comes closer, only to reveal a young girl)
Girl: My name is Lizzie and I'm your owner. So, learn your place.
Joss: Owner?! But where was the--- (He remembers the old lady) That fucking bitch! I will not trust old people... NEVER! (He turns to Lizzie)
Joss: This is a misunderstanding. I need to be in another place.
Lizzie: Silence!
(Joss frowns)
Joss (in his head): I could kill her easily...but I don't know where I am. Let's just wait)
Lizzie: And don't try anything funny. That will not allow you. (She points to a device in Joss' neck)
Joss: What the heck?!
Lizzie: That's a device that neutralizes all magic in the world and you can't break free, unless I want to.
(Joss tries to remove it but it's unable to. Lizzie throws a cloak near him)
Lizzie: Put that on. We are going to meet someone.
(Mad, Joss puts on the cloak. The cell's door opens, and Joss begins to walk)
Lizzie: Also, don't you dare attack me, or your head will blow up.
(Joss glares at her. They keep walking)
Lizzie (in her head): W-was that alright? I think I pushed him a little to the edge! Oh Lizzie!!!!
(She turns back to him and shares a death glare)
Lizzie: Where are we going, do not talk when they don't ask you and don't do anything suspicious or you will die.
(Joss stays in silence. Lizzie opens a door at the end of the cell's corridor and a danceable tune could be heard.)
(After running for 1 hour, Shion and Anastacya got to the port. They asked everyone there, but no one seemed to know Joss' whereabouts. They then stumble with Captain Harlock)
Shion: Captain Harlock! (He takes a few breathes) Have—Have you seen Joss?
Harlock: Joss? The savvy who rode the whale?
Anastacya: Yes! That one!
Harlock: No.
Shion: Shit!
Harlock: What happene' to 'im?
Anastacya: He disappeared, and we can't find him.
Harlock: He probly must be sleepin' under a tree or somethin'. If he didn't die with the whale, he will not die with somethin' stupid. He must be inside the city of Aerilon. That place is a mess right now in the underworld. Better stay sharp in there.
Shion: If you see him...could you tell him we are trying to find him?
Harlock: 'Course! You all have my respect and if you find yourselves in problem...(He takes out a gun)...just shoot this baby and we will be there.
(Shion takes the gun and both leave. Harlock enters the Arcadia)
Kei: Was that the companions of the mage?
Harlock: Yeah. Seems the crazy kid got lost.
Kei: I imagine.
Harlock: They aren't a bad bunch. They are decent people. Unlike us.
(He fills a glass of wine)
Harlock: Sometimes I imagine how my life would have been, if I didn't take up this curse.
(He looks his left hand)
Harlock: But the gold makes out for it HAHAHAHAHA!
Kei: That's our captain.
Harlock: What about the loot?
Kei: From the other ships before, 100 time more than the last week.
Harlock: Excellent! We will wait another day before the whale fully leaves the system, then we set sail to the northen region!
Kei: Aye captain.
(Harlock drinks the wine and kept laughing.)
