"I told you ages ago, this ship isn't complete without enough crew..." Calico, the shipwright, grumbled while running across the ship. "All right, I admit I like this. A new adventure!!"
The cat scampered and leaped nimbly, climbing all the way to the top of the mast, then pulled a small white horn from its bib, took a deep breath, and blew it.
The cat's cheeks puffed into two round balls, and the horn rang out across the entire River of Time.
The cat shouted toward the World Docks on either side, "Assemble-! Assemble-!"
The voice carried far, far away, reaching the ends of the river in both directions, every corner of the War Cruise Ship, and every World Dock.
"Wooo-wooo-!"
"Requesting support! As-sem-ble-!"
"As-semble!!"
Yu Xunge could barely hold on anymore. [Cat's Ideal] began swaying wildly. She still held the chain firmly in her hand, but her entire body had been dragged to the stern railing.
Tulan spread her body out, wrapped herself around the hull, and hauled backward. B80 did the same, charging toward the bow while pulling the end of the chain. Its battery began draining at a visible rate, yet the world was still dragging the ship toward the dock.
"Wooo-wooo-!"
"Requesting support!"
The cat's horn and cries rang across the River of Time, reaching the War Cruise Ship as it drew ever closer.
Xie Xie clamped Song Gui's and Mistblade's wrists in its claws. "What do we do, what do we do? What's happening? Why am I so nervous? I told you, I told you Little Seahorse's dreams couldn't be wrong. Look, if Four Seasons City were in the sky right now, wouldn't we have missed our ride?"
Already wound tight, Song Gui pulled out a hammer and sent Xie Xie flying with one blow.
