The Decision Part 3

(in a jail cell)

Storm: ugh, my head. What time is it?

Marine: It doesn't matter. You'll be locked up in here for awhile.

Storm: Hmm. Do you have any rum?

Marine: What? Like I'd give you any.

Storm (looks at the bottle at his hand): I've run out. Go figure.

Marine: Oh by the way, there's someone who has come to see you.

Storm: Cool, send him in.

Marine: "Cool?" This old man thinks he's hip. Anyways, here's your visitor.

Victor: Hey there gramps, just thought I'd say farewell before I leave. I'm about to buy my pirate ship and be rid of this island. We'll never see each other again.

Storm: I wouldn't say that.

Victor: What do you mean?

Storm: Never is a long time.

Victor: Well you're going to be in this cell for a long time. Probably ten years at the most.

Storm: Whatever.

Victor: You don't care?

Storm: I spen thirty years in that shack, do you think ten more is going to matter?

Victor: What do you mean?

Storm: I could live for a hundred years and never forgive myself for what happened!

Victor: I'm oddly intrigued. Do tell.

Storm: Hmmph. I used to be the captain of a fantastic crew. We had so many great adventures and even made it pretty far in the Grand Line. But then I made a stupid mistake that risked our entire lives. I was the only one who survived.

Victor: So this imprisonment isn't exactly a punishment, is it?

Storm: It's nothing compared to the hell I've been living through.

Victor: That's touching, old man but I must be off.

Storm: So soon?

Victor: I just stopped by to gloat....Not much more. (he pauses) Goodbye now.

Storm: Later. (Victor leaves and Storm nods off. Several minutes later he wakes up)

Storm: That's weird, I didn't have any nightmares.

Marine: It's because you need to make a decision.

Storm: Heh?

Marine: Are you going to continue this miserable life? Or are you going to set out on another adventure and redeem yourself as a pirate?

Storm: What are you talking about? (the marine turns around to reveal himself as X Victor dressed as a marines. He jingles the keys)

Victor: Let's get out of here and become pirates together.

Storm: Who is the captain?

Victor: Uhhh me.

Storm: I think I should be the captain.

Victor: Why? I'm stronger than you.

Storm: No you're not.

Victor: I beat you. That's why you're here right now.

Storm: I held back at the last moment. That was my Plan B. To get captured and not harm you.

Victor: Harm me? You couldn't lay a finger on me.

Storm: Step back. (Victor gets out of the way)

Storm: Now that I once again have a purpose in my life, nothing can stop me!
