Tarma crosses his arms and gives off a chuckle. "No, I do believe you've put me through quite a bit. First off, you're welcome for letting you on this ship without a boarding pass. Second, I let you get away with your flower thing--" the young man digs around his pocket, dusting off the slightly damaged flower and showing it to her. "That makes two favors, one which was paid right now by providing me an excuse to be around the food table. I'll forgive the other one." Suddenly, Tarma pins the flower on Koran's hair, giving off a sly smirk. "I think I'm right here." he says while taking a bite out of his sandwich.
Meanwhile on the observation tower, the crew had their sights at the mana storm coming right up ahead. The waves were getting rougher than usual along with it getting suddenly darker. The seas were shifting in abnormal forms, almost having a sort of distorted fuzz on it's surface.
The mana raining down had not come down yet, but instead several strikes of red lightning shot down at the ocean. Captain Jasumi rose a brow in suspicion. "Private, the doppler?"
"Seems that we're close to a storm." The sailor next to the radar said. Jasumi stood up from her seat. "No...no, I thought we were already in the middle of one. The mana storm."
Total silence ensues before Jasumi walks over to the window to look outside. The dark, almost black clouds seemed to glow slightly red, hinting at some mana being stored within them, but something was off. Then out of the blue, something struck the side of the destroyer, causing Jasumi to be tossed to the side with it's sheer force. The sailors on the deck held on to the rails. Jasumi widened her eyes in surprise, then stuttered out in realization. "W-We-- How did we get hit?! Private! The sonar! The radar! Is it detecting anything?!"
The sailor nodded hesitantly, then looking back at the devices. "Nothing is coming up on either of them, Jasumi-sama!"
"DAMNIT! We're under attack and whatever is attacking us isn't picking up on our detection systems?!" Jasumi spat out. She had no other choice as she reached for a button and pushes it. It was the alert button. "All hands on deck! Crew, prepare for surface battle!" She yells into an intercom.
