As one of the three great bases of the World Government in the Grand Line, Impel Down represents punishment. Surviving as the ultimate gaol, no prisoners who enter its gates ever hope to step foot outside again. Recently, however, Impel Down's reputation has been heavily damaged, after two consecutive large scale breakouts occurred. Admiral Aokiji was sent to get the place back in order. To fortify Impel Down, the World Government has decided to install two Wardens instead of one, making an escape from Impel Down much harder.

La Spada Caught!
Evil Arrives in Impel Down! @QuickZilver708
Death itself has been defeated! The infamous and terrible La Spada has been slain and captured! A pirate worth
787,500,000 Beri, a candidate for future Yonko, and the evilest pirate seen in centuries, has been seized. A marine warship announced the news directly to Impel Down. The news that Vice-Admiral Kallavan had captured the infamous La Spada and sent her to Impel Down.
A single Marine warship sailed through the Gates of Justice. Standing at the bow was a recognizable marine, if only for his face, the famous rear admiral T-Bone. Who better than to deliver evil? A full manned crew of marines cleared all the safeguards, codes, and inspections, and approached Impel Down. The Great Gaol appeared in the distance, and T-Bone, looking over the deck, stared at it. For a moment, a green glint, signifying a soul alien, flickered in his eyes.
[T-Bone] “Bring her around! The vice-admiral has entrusted this mission only to me! I shall deliver this evil myself!“
Orders laid and followed. The ship would soon dock. As the wooden bridge lowered from the warship to the dock of Impel Down, T-Bone and a lone figured approached the drawbridge. At the top of the drawbridge was a lowly ensign, or so his uniform would show; Zalera. Two went down the drawbridge.
T-Bone was first, his chest puffed with pride. Behind T-Bone was large serpent-like being in a full marine cloak. Large, imposing, and once pretty face now turned unfathomable. The communication from the warship informed Impel Down it was Lieutenant Medusa. It was not odd for a man like T-Bone to have such subordinates.
Chains rattled against the drawbridge, dragging what seemed to be a carcass through the bridge. Medusa held chains that led to a figure in a dark cloak, ending up in hand and feet “kairoseki” shackles. No signature of life came from the cloak, only the pestilence of evil. The sun would bathe the head as it was dragged through the bridge, showing an infamous and unmistakable face: La Spada.
The infamous pirate captain looked different than her stories. She looked defeated, unconscious, and subdued. Body limp, The Grim was dragged like a cadaver towards the Great Gaol. T-Bone stood at the end of the drawbridge, waiting for the meeting. The camera zoomed into his eyes, into his soul. Inside, was pure darkness. A cackling echoed inside T-Bone’s mind, where the wicked laid. A withering soul replaced T-Bone’s own; The Grim Reaper.

Medusa was once a beautiful, avowed priestess of Athena who, after for breaking her vow of celibacy by an affair with the sea god Poseidon, Athena turned Medusa into a hideous hag, making her hair into writhing snakes and her a greenish hue. To ensure she kept her celibacy, Athena erected a curse: those who gaze at her turn to stone.
Hearing of one with hatred for the gods of Olympus similar to her own, La Spada saved Medusa from Perseus. Medusa turned her gaze on La Spada, only to find her soul was already stone. With a soul as ugly as Athena had made her, Medusa joined the Grim to bring down Olympus and restore the beauty stolen from her.
Story: Heretic scion who was tasked with the judging of men in the Wild Wild West era. His heart lusted for power, and Zalera judged those innocent. His soul was thus soul was tainted by the curses of those innocent he sent to oblivion. Sent to the bowels of hell for his gruesome acts, he was saved by La Spada. His singular goal is to darken the soul of others to make his sins less malevolent in comparison, in hopes of avoiding eternal damnation. Unlike other Plagues, Zalera is a strategist and a thoughtful man.
A visit from the Grim Reaper. @Ichimonji
Impel Down, a tower striking deep below into the ocean. A means to prevent even the greatest of pirates from escaping. Devil fruit users could not swim and ordinary humans would be crushed beneath the immense pressure the sea applied at its lowest depths. And if that wasn't enough various security systems, guards and the Magnus opus Magellan would make sure no pirate would escape this tower alive. But even with all these security measures in place, it has one recorded successful escape on its record. A blemish on its century clean record.
Word of Admiral T-Bone's arrival was already given weeks in advance and Impel down had prepared itself for the arrival of the world up and coming most evil pirate. The warship docked, next to several other marine battleships, lowered its drawbridge allowing the Admiral, La Spada and a lone figure to escape through the drawbridge. A lowly ensign would remain at the top of the bridge, awaiting T-Bone's eventual return.
T-Bone together with his lieutenant Medusa dragged La Spada like a corpse through Impel down, nothing on her appearance would even hint at a skeletal like appearance. The guards and marines that stood around T-Bone and his subordinates would whisper and gossip while their intent was to be subtle they were far from it. "Look...it's the monster crew..." "Where does he find these creatures?" "What a weird man..."
Once at the door into the facility, Rear-Admiral T-Bone and Medusa would find themselves greeted by Hannyabal and Head-Jailer Domino.
"Welcome to my Impel Down, Rear-Admiral T-Bone. Lieutenant. " He'd say while giving them a nod and offering a hand to the admiral.
The head-jailer would give him a leer from above her sunglasses as he quickly corrected himself.
"Oh apologies...Warden Magellan has finally been reinstated. Old habits die hard. So that's the infamous La Spada...seems rather unlively don't you think?" Hannyabal said questioningly.
After the admiral and his officer gave their reply Domino would start the processing procedure.
"Rear-Admiral, Lieutenant if you'd follow me please. I'll escort you to private rooms to get you searched. It's protocol I'm afraid. You can give the husk to Hannyabal, he'll move her through sanitation. " She said referring to La Spada her corpse-like appearance.
With that the Admiral and Lieutenant would hopefully comply if they did not, it'd set a rather strange and unorthodox start to their arrival.
Elsewhere on level 6
Agony, screams of pain and whimpers of despair were funnelled to an absolute minimum at this point of Impel Down. Only the most heinous criminals were kept here with minds indomitable. Only one plausible form of punishment remained for these men and women.
Absolute nothingness.
Darkness plagued these halls as the only light they received was some that shone through the cracks from the levels above them. And with resources just enough for them to survive it was hell they would never escape from in their lives. However, within this section of Impel Down, a man forgotten by time resided, living out the remainders of his life. He was a man shrouded in mystery as none of the other high profile pirates could recognize him. The single one out of 20 or so high profile targets. He was the anomaly, who was this man and why had they placed him so far down into this facility for being a no-name? The shrouded figure spoke, revealing the 2 white teeth or so that still remained, the rest claimed by old age.
"She lives...She lives!" the older man shouted through the silent halls, his chains rattling from the excitement he felt.
"Zehahahaha! Liberate me from hell! " The elder man continued through what could only be described as delusion, from the other inmates' point of view.
"Shut your clap you demented fool..." Another voice sneered.
The man would finally calm himself down as he knew his heart could not take this kind of excitement any longer. Wanting to preserve what little life he had for as long as he could right now. "You cannot fool these old bones...you're here...."
La Spada Caught!
Evil Arrives in Impel Down! @QuickZilver708
A guest from Hell. Dragged through the cold stone floor of Impel Down, the woman’s bones cracked and clacked as Medusa pulled on the chain connected to the shackled hands and feet of the infamous pirate. The shackles appeared to be sea-stone to even the most predicated eye, but they were no such thing. Soon, the famous Hannyabal and Domino greeted them.
T-Bone made a small milotary salute in their advance, and Medusa copied him. T-Bone would introduce himself and shake the warde- erhm- vice Warden’s hand. Up close, there would be no mistaking T-Bone was the real Rear Admiral, down to his morbid appearance.
When Domino laid out the plan, T-Bone turned to the prisoner, grabbed her chain, and pulled it. This movement forced the cloak to blow back, revealing La Spada’s boney upper chest, neck, and face. Only rotting skin remained over the luscious red lips amidst the maggots. There was no mistaking it; this was La Spada.
T-Bone had bent down slightly, his back now to Hannyabal and Domino, his marine cloak covering a portion of La Spada’s body from sight, and spoke, pulling the prisoner’s chain.
[T-Bone] “Your evil ends here, pirate.”
[T-Bone] “Make sure you search every bone in her body. This one didn’t make a sound during our preliminary interrogation. I’m sure here it will be different.”
Suddenly, the bones of La Spada moved. A green light erupted from her eyes and the infamous captain looked up, eyes bloodshot at Hannyabal.
[La Spada] “Death could not hold mah’. What makes yah’ think yah’ petty walls will? Before the day is night, these walls will crumble! KUHAHAHAHAHA!”
Words cut with hate and spirit. Words echoing through the hall. There was no mistaking it, these bones were alive and angry. La Spada was alive in hate. La Spada’s eyes lowered. T-Bone’s own eyes, for a moment white, flickered lack again via a green light. T-Bone’s back was against the two, Hannyabal and Domino, would be nay the wiser; La Spada switched bodies momentarily and back again.
T-Bone pulled on the chain, which seemed to force La Spada’s body to the ground, clanking against the floor. The Rear Admiral offered the chain to Hannyabal with no hesitation. He again reiterated to search La Spada thoroughly. Not only was T-Bone cooperative with Impel Down’s demand, but he urged them to be even more strict with La Spada. Off the scent.
[T-Bone] “Lead the way. As long as this evil is purged, we will follow your every command.”
T-Bone turned to Domino and gestured to Medusa to come with him. They would follow Domino to wherever she led them.
Outside, still at the top of the drawbridge and looking at the gate of Impel Down, Zalera looked at his watch. It was on a timer, clicking and clicking. The Scion waited for the signal.
Welcome to Impel Down @Ichimonji
Both Domino and Hannyabal looked on as La Spada showed a glimpse of life before returning to the lifeless sack of bones. An odd phenomenon that prompted them to look at one another before shrugging. Internally they both categorized this occurrence as a weird quick from her devil fruit. The irony behind it all was that they were correct to a certain degree in that assumption.
"Do not worry, Rear-Admiral. Sanitation will be pretty thorough with her." - Hannyabal said as he took over the chains.
With a quick nod and a gesture, the group would split up momentarily after entering Impel Down. Behind the first gate a large hallway would greet them, splitting it down the middle as T-Bone and Medusa would move with Domino to the left. While Hannyabal would drop off the pile of bones to sanitation on the right. The Rear-Admiral and his companion could see the sanitation line to their right, the path to it blocked by several thick iron bars. The possibility of it being laced with seastone was pretty likely.
"Get her a proper cleansing!" - They'd hear Hannyabal shouting from the opposite side of the hallway.
Shouts of pain, inmates wailing. This hallway was only the first part of a pirates journey into Impel Down but it was a brutal welcome. They'd be dropped in several pots of boiling water before being rinsed by a stream of ice-cold water. While at the same time several jailers would hurry them up with either verbal insults or physical lashes from their whips. La Spada her body would be thrown into said pots with assistance from the jailers since she was physically unable to do so. A first for them most likely.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the hallway, Domino and her guests would arrive at the monitoring rooms. Before T-Bone and Medusa were a wall with 3 doors, with Domino remaining in front of the middle one.
"We've updated our procedures since last time. Rear-Admiral you may enter the door to my right, Lieutenant you may enter the door to my left." Domino said as she motioned her hands to the doors in question.
" Vice-Warden Hannyabal and I will meet you at the other side there we can finalize the paperwork." Domino would finish as she'd enter the middle door, one for Impel Down personnel only.
Fake T-bone and Medusa would find that their rooms were surprisingly blank devoid of any furniture besides various den den mushi camera's in the corners. It was a relatively small room perhaps only able to fit 4 people at max. In front of them was the door leading to the exit with a much larger den den mushi above it, its eyes turning red. As it casts an infrared beam towards both T-Bone and Medusa, reading their heat signatures and making sure they aren't smuggling something into Impel Down. "Please refrain from moving Sir, Madam. The scan will be done in a few moments." - A voice said, booming through a nearby speaker. A worker from the surveillance crew. Once the infrared signal was clear a blue beam would cast itself upon the two 'marine' members. Which was an X-ray, looking for metallic objects they were carrying.
The first obstacle the fake T-Bone had to overcome. Ever since the previous escape, Impel down had upgraded their scanners. Leaving behind the obsolete method of doing physical examinations. Medusa being a living creature would most likely be flagged a clear without much of a problem. But could an animated corpse show a heat signature?
Will their attack on Impel Down end here? At the front gates?
La Spada Caught!
Evil Arrives in Impel Down! #3 @QuickZilver708
Sanitation took La Spada’s body. It stroke odd to T-Bone Hannyabal did not guard such a high-profile prisoner. T-Bone hoped on that to prey on Domino alone. But alas, can’t win all the chess moves. Medusa used her snake-like abilities to keep track of the body, using her animalia taste buds to track scent. La Spada had a foul specific stench. The body would be sent to be boiled would only exacerbate the smell. A bath for a skeleton Tiefling body.
The four soon came upon an inspection area. Medusa and T-Bone each were sent to a room. Inside, scanners looked upon them. X-rays and heat signatures. T-Bone and Medusa both walked out when instructed. A few things revealed.
First, T-Bone had a heat signature. He was not dead: his soul was simply supplanted. Somewhere deep inside, T-Bone tried to claw his way out, buried by an ancient evil. Medusa was another story: her heat signature barely registered. Yet as a reptilian, as a snake, due to being cold-blooded, that was normal. Neither had weapons anywhere; they had followed instructions.
There was one thing to be learned, an odd fact that could be observed: T-Bone had a massive wound on his stomach.
A wound over his stomach pieced together by dried blood and makeshift bandages. A wound that a normal man could not survive, let alone walk. T-Bone was no normal man, he was an infamous Rear Admiral.... or something else moved him.
[T-Bone] “That evil took a piece of me when interrogated. It is ancient evil. Please heed my warning, Vice-Warden. Only someone such as yourself should be escorting her.”
T-Bone made a revering motion towards Hannyabal. One could say he tried to butter him up. Hannyabal had already shown such propensity with Domino. T-Bone was still trying to isolate Domino.
The wound and the request tracked. A warning from experience. A good lie always has a base in truth. There was truth to T-Bone’s words, much. The wound was real. An evil had taken it, though not in interrogation. La Spada had cut T-Bone down to weaken him enough to take over his body - that’s when it started.
Medusa looked around. With her tall figure and eyes, she could see far. The woman used her senses to track the area to memory and take note of the cameras. Camera position would be crucial.
Impel Down @Ichimonji
By the time T-Bone and Medusa had left their assigned rooms. The information that was gathered had already been sent to Hanyabal and Domino. The Rear-Admiral however saw fit to give more context to what would otherwise be a life-threatening wound. Hanyabal would shake his head as if to say 'you poor thing'. " I understand your concerns Rear-Admiral. But Impel Downs finest are on the job, we've got some new employees since your last arrival. " The Vice-Warden would say to which he'd look on his watch to which he'd sigh, letting his shoulders sag. The man was clearly annoyed. " I'm afraid I'll have to leave you to Domino for the administration part I'm afraid. The Warden has requested my presence in level 5. A new arrival who came in a few months ago is already stirring up some trouble. It's been a pleasure seeing you Admiral. Until next time, and let's hope for my sake I'm back on top!" Hanyabal would say as he flexed his arms hyping himself up for a reality that may never come to pass.
"T-Bone-san, Medusa-san. If you'd please follow me. The administration is a level below us" Domino would say, motioning over to the large elevator.
A stroke of luck for Spada for Hanyabal's presence was requested elsewhere. But whoever it was that could cause such a ruckus to require the second in command to come down personally certainly wasn't your average pirate. Domino in the meantime would move towards the elevator while Hanyabal took a separate exit which was only accessible to him and Maggelan or so it'd seem. Most of the folk were using the main elevators in the middle of the entrance floor. A hidden elevator or was it something else? Medusa would note that besides the camera's there were several den den mushi moving around on walls, ceilings everything was monitored and for now, they would not come across a blind spot.
If nothing else would happen Domino would now find herself around the Rear-Admiral and Lieutenant Medusa. The large elevator doors would close in front of them, leaving the group closed off from the rest of the prison. The actual transportation from the entrance floor to the one below would only take a minute or so at max. If Spada were to strike now she'd have to do so with speeds unimaginable.
Or perhaps she'd employ different measures?
Spada's escort
With Spada having received her 'cleansing' she had also been given Impel Down appropriate clothing which was a standard grey outfit with black strips as one would expect within a prison. Her chains were inspected and if the damage was spotted repaired or replaced. Spada her lifeless body now found herself accompanied by two female guards within a separate elevator. This one was mainly used for shipping inmates to their respective levels.
"Eeeh. Level 6? I've been dragging her ass the moment she got here! The hell is that potbellied fool thinking???" A young girl with green hair shouted her malcontent. Tugging at the chains she was holding without realizing it.
" Shhhh Lucy, they can hear you you know!" The other young girl replied struggling through her shyness.
"Perfect! Then I don't need to explain myself when I whoop his ass when I see him next time! And don't try to stop me, Maria!"
Maria and Lucy were two newly appointed guards to Impel down to strengthen their personnel a bit more. A unit of polar opposites but that wouldn't mean they were less deadly for their assigned levels were 3 and to assist 4 if they were needed. An odd thing one would point out is that the shy girl that was called Maria towered over Lucy. It was a strange sight to see a human giant be so reserved.
La Spada Caught!
Evil Arrives in Impel Down! #4 @QuickZilver708
Hannyabal gave his pleasantries and left. He went not the normal way, and Medusa would commit it to memory. Camera were everywhere. The trio moved to the elevator. Patience had paid off. T-Bone positioned himself behind Domino, allowing her to close the door. If there was a den den mushi in the elevator, Medusa would use her enormous body to shield view by standing in front of it.
There was a light chuckle. Suddenly, a green light emanated from T-bone, and, from his chest, a green skeleton ghost shot out towards Domino. Being behind Domino and at the cramped distance, the soul aimed to pierce her body from behind, figuratively, in a moment.
In a split second, hours seemed to pass inside of Domino’s body. La Spada was dissecting her very soul.
[La Spada] “My, my, my. How quaint of a body. So strict. So many rules. What you fear most is failure. It drives you, sticks to you, and most importantly, weakens you.”
[La Spada] “YOU’VE FAILED! GIVE IN TO YOUR DESPAIR! YOUR BODY IS MINE!!!”
La Spada preyed on the fear, on the doubt, on the sorrow. She clung to that dark corner inside Domino to take over. La Spada’s intent and power was overwhelmin, and attempted to take Domino’s body, to banish her soul and will to a dark corner, unlit. Unlike T-Bone, who needed a wound to grow weak enough, Domino was already relatively weak, or so La Spada surmised.
In that split-second, T-Bone’s body fell forward. He was caught by Medusa’s tail. The tip jabbed into T-bone, injecting Toxia poison. T-Bone was wounded in a way that without La Spada’s will, his consciousness was likely short-lived. If T-Bone mustered enough will to wake, the poison would subdue him. Medusa would grab him and throw him off her shoulder.
By the time the elevator opened, La Spada aimed to have done the switcheroo. A new body to parade Impel Down, and a rear Admiral who sadly succumbed to the wounds shown to the prison by X-ray.

Toxia Coating Channeling energy through their scales, the reptilian covers their weapon in a layer of toxins that will poison on contact. This technique grants status damage to attacks, giving the opponents poison and paralysis. Requires 41 mastery
The elevator closed moving the 3 individuals down to the first floor heading towards the administration office. Sadly, however, Domino would never arrive at this destination at least not with her own mind at the wheel. Spada her soul would pierce into Domino her own, tugging and shifting the purity of the head jailer spirit. Domino would give a bit of a struggle but against this wickedness and pure darkness, she was met with an insurmountable task.
"Ugh. How, wha...damn you!" She'd say struggling as Spada her reflection was visible in her eye.
Eventually, the expected happened and Domino her own will and consciousness were pushed back into the very deepest corners of her soul. Trapped until Spada relinquished her will over the head-jailer.
Meanwhile, T-Bone had fallen forward and while he jolted back to life the powerful toxin would make short work of his second life. The Admiral had only enough time to grunt, no audible or sensible word would escape his mouth. A switch that was executed to perfection and with no time to spare.
By the time T-Bone fell to the ground the massive elevator door would open up, revealing a large wide-open room employing many officers and desks for administration and all kinds of purposes. Directly in front of Spada behind the masses and furniture was a large thick-coated window that spanned the entire room. If peered through she could see directly onto the first hell of Impel down. The Crimson Hell.
This office standing a solid 5 to 6 meters above the actual crimson hell from an outside point of view it seemed as if it was attached to the ceiling. Making it seem to be a monitoring room than an administration centre. But if more of the administration centre was observed she'd see several doors to her left and to her right. Some lead down towards the actual hell floor while others would lead to another room on the opposite end of this floor that was positioned equally as high up.
From a prisoner's pov it'd appear as a massive brick square attached to the ceiling only the centre was hollow. With the administration centre at one end of the wall and another unknown department on the opposite end. Two large and thick brick hallways at the sides connecting both departments to one another. A set of doors down in the middle of the crimson hell's ground floor would give way for jailers to reach this part of Impel Down. But mostly this part had the least amount of security due to the large number of low profile pirates that were present.
From the corner of the administration centre, a young woman with some strange glasses would wave at Jailer Domino. Revealing that the two were acquainted and depending on how much Spada could read Domino her soul and mind. She'd be able to deduce that this person was known as Anna and the person in charge of managing the paperwork with new inmates. This was the person Domino would've directed T-Bone and Medusa from the get-go. The question remained how the ruler of the underworld would reveal the deceased T-Bone who for now was obscured by the view. Many workers were moving left and right passing by the elevator and once they'd step out of it a gruesome reality will reveal itself to the entire staff present here.
The elevator door opened. Domino and Medusa walked out, the latter carrying T-Bone’s body over her shoulder, high above due to her size. The two found themselves in an observatory of sorts, wherein Crimson Hell could be seen, as well as other ceiling rooms in the distance. A girl greeted them both, and Domino took charge.
La Spada did not have access to memories when inhabiting other’s bodies. She could only feel the emotions of the individuals, and only those malicious, like fear, anger, hate. The strength of the body was the strength of La a Spada, but-for those that the soul can carry: Devil fruit, weapon knowledge, and haki (see spoiler). However, it would not take a mind-reader to deduce what the girl was there for.
La Spada played the part and spoke.
[Domino] “I’m afraid the Rear Admiral succumbed to the wounds we saw at the X-Ray, given to him from that evil thing prior to arrival! He’ll live if he receives immediate medical attention! Take him at once!”
Domino turned, and Medusa lowered T-Bones body. The wound was still bleeding. Domino ordered him to be taken to the infirmary right away. In all truth, La Spada did not know if T-Bone was alive or not. It was certainly possible, but she nor Medusa were doctors - they had no way of knowing his state. The wound was certainly life-threatening, and the toxins would paralyze him. It was all a gamble.
[Domino] “I will take Lt. Medusa to the surveillance room. If the Rear Admiral does not survive this, I’d like to fulfill his last wish: ensure the evil that attacked him makes it to her cell.”
[Domino] “I’ll take the heat on that. Lead the way immediately!”
Domino issued an order for the escort to the communications room. She did not know if that request to go to the communications rooms was odd, and so, she added she would take responsibility. Domino had been introduced as the Head Jailer, so La Spada hoped she has some pull.
The two sought the communications room to interrupt their feed. They would not want to be revealed before they had a chance to disrupt the prison’s base line. They did not want to be revealed before La Spada took on a stronger body. Even the Queen of Death knew the Warden’s reputation.
Impel Down @Ichimonji " Oh my, that's horrible!" Anna would say unable to contain her shock and anguish at seeing such a horrible wound up close.
The commotion created by Domino's reveal and Anna's response to it took everyone's attention. Clercs, administrative people and the few guards that were moving about the first hell of Impel Down. And before Spada knew it several guards had already arrived by her and T-bone's side. One of them crouched down beside the Rear-Admiral giving a first assessment of the damage the Admiral had sustained. "I'll try and stop the bleeding, you lead Domino-san to the surveillance room. Someone else call the medical unit asap!" The guard said issuing orders to the few guards that were present. While his medical skills were limited to first aid assistance the man would do his best to keep the Admiral from dying on his watch. Using his own coat as a bandage to keep blood from pouring out of the wound. It wouldn't hold forever but the man hoped it'd be enough for the med team to arrive on time.
Whatever T-bone's fate would be was a mystery to Spada and her Lieutenant. For they would be escorted to the left door going along the edges of the first hell. The corridor that connected the entrance room to the surveillance room was decorated with windows, allowing personnel to peer onto the dying and or aching pirates. A great way to pass time for some while others found it to be depraved but Impel Down did not care for the feelings of those special few. The most heinous of criminals walked below this hallway or so at least in the government's opinion.
It wouldn't take long for Spada and Medusa to reach the other end of the corridor which would be a single door to their right. The jailer would salute by raising his hand and taking his leave. Moving back towards the entrance hall of the first floor where T-bone was still being treated.
La Spada would find that the door upon the first inspection was locked unable to be opened if she twisted the doorknob or even pulled it. A knock or a push by her shoulder would also be to no avail as no one would respond to her pleas of opening the door. However, she'd be wise to not pull any more attention to herself for her appearance was but a facade and a mask that in some circumstances could be easily taken off. Luckily, however, being the head jailer she'd find many assortments of badges, keys and even a baton on her person. The entrance to this place was but an unlock away from being opened.
And when she did she'd be greeted with an assortment of workers typing away at desks, looking at a sea of monitors while a massive den den mushi hung on the ceiling an antenna protruding from its head. Its eyes not blinking at the appearance of Domino and the LT. Even the people working the department took no eye of their work to greet Domino for so was their work ethic, losing a millisecond of footage could mean a potential escape that went unnoticed.
Whatever Spada wanted to accomplish here she'd have to do so carefully. The room, itself was also monitored perhaps to prevent these men and women from slacking on the job.
T-Bone was taken away. If he survived, the poison would act to paralyze him and refrain him from speaking for a few hours. There was a countdown. Though, Medusa knew La Spada could not be hours without a kill - her worry was minimal.
The two were taken to the communication room. Domino tried to open the door, but the doorknob would not budge. Domino balled her fist tightly, and cocked her hand back, about to destroy the door - La Spada’s patience was thin. However, Medusa bent down, gently grabbed the keys from Domino, and opened the door. Domino shot her an angry look before heading inside.
A sea of screens awaited them. This was it - the hub of communication. Keeping the farce, Domino spoke.
[Domino] “Lieutenant, this is where every action on Impel Down is monitored. As you can see, escape from these eyes is impossible. You have nothing to worry about.”
[Domino] “You there! Show the Lieutenant where the new entry, La Spada, is on these monitors. AND QUICKLY! I want these visitors out of the prison as soon as possible!”
Domino ordered one of the employees. La Spada wanted to know where hed body was. Assuming, but not deciding, the employee acquiesce, and the duo figured out where they keep La Spada’s body, they would make their move. Medusa, being 23 feet tall, and with bulk of a Gorgon, innocently moved her body to get a better view... blocking the large den den mushi.
In that moment, Domino hit her belt with rhythm, infusing her soul to the sound. The sound would have a perilous effect; it would potentially make everyone in the room, ‘cept for Medusa, sleep. The sound would travel through the den den mushi, also theoretically forcing those who listened to sleep. Using her soul power to amplify the effect, the duration of the effect would be longer.
With that short opening, Medusa quickly injected her venom to the employees. They would stay “asleep” long after the Lullaby wore off - paralyzed. Medusa also broke the antennas on the big den den mushi and broke all the cables to the monitors and communications instruments - disabling completely or severely himdering the communication abilities of the prison.
The two quickly looked for some map or way to get around. Regardless of whether they found anything, they would leave the room. La Spada would break the key in the lock after the door closed, attempting to prevent any further entry.
(OCC: Forgot to add La Spada’s music stats in Domino, but since that falls under knowledge and not the body, she would have 62)
Lullaby (requires 41 musicianship mastery: a soothing piece of music that is played to put people to sleep.
-Makes enemies to drowsy. Drowsy gives a speed de-buff to enemies who are 1/2 level or less of the user's mastery. The de-buff is mastery/10. If the user has 100 mastery then the de-buff is -10 reaction and mobility. Enemies who are drowsy that are 1/3 level or less of the user's master will sleep. This lasts two turns or until they are hit. AoE is 10 meters (33 feet).
With an order, Spada had made the worker behind the desk type away at his keyboard. The man like a drone without a question or response would do what he was told. A static image then was shown observing two young girls moving away from level 6 with Spada her body in shackles and behind bars. The image was dark and almost distorted due to the lack of light within the room. But it was enough information to display her general location, the man behind the desk would point at the corner of his screen. Showing that Spada was in level 6, the deepest and most secured part of the prison.
Once that info had been gathered Spada her theatre would work without a fault. The many men and women would fall asleep behind their desks awaiting Medusa her coup de grace, making them sleep through the entire day most likely. The Gorgon would afterwards also disable and or sabotage many of the inner workings within the surveillance room, rendering a large portion of the prison completely in the dark in the case of an emergency. The two would look around the area but besides monitors and desks, there was nothing worth of info also not really a map to go by either. With the key snapped off inside the lock Spada and her partner had but one way left to go, down the hallway they came from. The silence around them, however, would be ended abruptly due to the ringing of a den den mushi. A frightening sound most likely, given the fact that they had just destroyed a massive responder snail.
Spada and Medusa might wonder where it'd come from but if carefully observed Spada would notice that behind the sleeve of her outfit was a small wrist version. A more direct line between the upper-level officers of Impel Down. The snail showed Hannyabal's face as it ran without a stop in sight. If she'd recall the man said he was moving down someplace else to aid a prisoner's dispute. Perhaps he needed Domino's help.
Or did the sabotage reach Hannyabal's ears already?
Spada had but to pick up to know the man's intent. Or would she ignore and sow suspicion where there potentially was none.
The key snapped in the lock, and the two left as if nothing happened. They had no map, but they did confirm where La Spada‘s body was - level 6. Not only would the communication room interrupt the feed within the prison, but also outside of it. It was crucial that back-up was interrupted.
Not two steps were taken, before a den den mushi rang in desperation. Medusa stopped in her tracks, her eyes wide: had they been found out? A chill went up her spine, her heart pounding.
Domino, with more calm, took the call.
[Domino] “Yes?”
Domino answered with a calm demeanor. It would be crucial to play the next few steps carefully. They needed to infiltrate as much as they could before the inevitable reveal. And so, Domino answered the den den mushi, waiting for Hannyabal in the other line.
Impel Down @Ichimonji
"Girl, where are you? Is the business with T-Bone and Medusa not concluded yet? We've got ourselves a situation!" Hannyabal would say clearly distressed as shouting and a whole lot of noise was hearable in the background. A scream of agony would sometimes peer through the noise. Some kind of fight perhaps? " Get yourselves to level 3 pronto! This new guy there has a lot more bark than I anticipated. We've already dispatched a jailer beast. But you know how dull those things are. Go make sure they don't forget to lock him up again. On the double lady!" Hannyabal would say quickly turning off his transponder as he was clearly busy with something else.
Luckily, for the two partners in crime, their sabotage had gone unnoticed so far but the time was ticking. It wouldn't take very long for a soul to notice that most of the cameras were nonfunctional. For now, though Hannyabal had directed them towards level 3 which was perhaps a prime chance to do some reconnaissance and get a lay of the land from a fellow pirate. Or they could just ignore the man altogether and head directly towards level 6 but they'd notice that the elevator here would only put them down as far as the 5th floor. The 6th floor was and still is a very exclusive floor for only the most dangerous of individuals and those lost in time were put there.
In any event, the two would move through the same corridor and eventually arrive at the large entrance hall/work office. Once there as they opened up the door they could see a lot more people moving around. Cleaning, moving desk while still performing their official business there were a lot more guards running around and moving down below for some reason. To Spada and Medusa, her right was another guard simply standing observing who went through towards the surveillance room. "Domino-saaan!" A young voice shouted from her left, waving her hand once again. It was the same girl with the weird glasses, Anna who'd try to catch Spada her attention. She'd afterwards move through the crowd and approach the two. "Ma'am before you leave. I'll need the Lieutenant to finish the paperwork. With Admiral T-Bone in the infirmary, she's acting officer now. You can leave her in my care Ma'am. I'll escort her back to the ship personally afterwards!" Anna said with a thumbs up, happy that she could be of assistance. Giving an inkling that she has some sort of grasp on the situation that was happening below and while some guards were moving around a lot so suddenly.
La Spada had some choices to make to try and come up with a convincing lie as to how she'd get her LT down towards the potentially 3rd or 6th floor with her. Since this wasn't really a thing that happened. Marines generally didn't involve with Impel Down business that's why most of them guard the exterior of the facility instead of the interior. Did she dare face this facility on her own while in an inferior form? It did have some perks Spada was still unaware of but it also came with certain responsibilities which could jeopardize her mission.
The stage had been set but who would fill in the remaining blanks?
Hannyabal gave out orders. An unruly in the 3rd level. Domino was to stomp the ruckus. The Captain had a choice to make. Go to Level 3 or try to go directly to Level 6, where her body lay. Indeed, possession came with great pros but bigger cons. Without a stronger body, namely her own, could La Spada stand up to the most powerful here?
The same wide-cheeeked girl lent her assistance. She would take Medusa away. This was the moment of truth. The moment of decision.
[Domino] “Take the Lieutenant away at once! Escort her to the ship immediately! I have business to attend to…”
Domino ordered. Normal pirates would keep Medusa, a far more powerful being than Domino, with her, escorting La Spada to her body. Yet, the Grim was no normal pirate. She had one thing that led her to the decision: arrogance. To La Spada, no one could defeat death, even in this stage. One would find out.
Domino took a few guards and ordered them to Level 3 with her. In the guise of help, Domino really needed guides. Medusa would comply, though confused. The plan had already gone off the skids. Medusa would follow Anna, waiting for her opportunity to strike.
"Yes Ma'am!" Anna would say with a salute, acknowledging Domino's orders.
With overconfidence and perhaps too much pride, Spada went onward alone with the aid of a few guards. A confused look from Medusa was the last thing the two shared with one another before parting. With a handful of guards in tow Spada would make her way down to level 3, the personnel elevator making short work of an otherwise lengthy journey. The gate-like doors would slide open, revealing a wasteland on the edge of being a desert.
Level 3 was the tipping point in Impel Down's level of security; the punishments were harsher here as the pirates were in between worthless and major threats. This was evidenced by the area itself. Moving away from roaming beasts and shards on the ground to a true wasteland where the high-level heat deprived one's stamina quickly. In another life, Spada might've enjoyed this barren area but not right now. The heat and dry air would instantly be felt upon her body, a strange sensation to the otherwise skinless form she maintained. The human body was a frail thing with all its necessary layers to survive.
It wouldn't take longer than a few steps for shouting to be heard, prompting the guards and Spada to move in its direction. Even without it Spada would've felt the presence of several high-level powers but two, in particular, stood out, a large beast and a single man.
The route towards the shouting would place Spada and her guards directly forward and beyond the first turn into a small plaza. Several buildings stood around them, nearly completely buried in the sand as the heat pierced on all that stood below. Only a few inmates were present in one of the buildings, the rest were empty or housed merely the remains of what used to be inmates. And in the middle of the plaza chunks of destroyed earth and rock laid all around, a massive boulder used to sit here in the middle of it all.
Spada and the others would arrive on a scene where both players were in the middle of a grand battle. Having just displayed some of their combat arts, they were in a standoff as both observed one another. To the front of Spada stood a massive dumb-looking cow, wielding a club for a weapon its back directly facing her. One of the jailer beasts as Hannyabal had told her earlier. It had a few bruises, wounds and burnt marks but looking at its body language it had yet to be wounded greatly. On the other side, directly in front of the jailer beast was a peculiar looking inmate. His body looked as if it was sliced in two, one half-human and another something entirely as if it was charred by fire. Bodies of unconscious guards lay all around him, proving that he was a capable warrior.
Wielding nothing but his hands and the broken chains around his wrists the inmate was clearly at a disadvantage. Malnourished and beaten he was severely weakened and still held himself capable against this jailer beast.
"Quickly Ma'am your orders. This fellow can hold his own against a jailer beast!" One of the guards shouted to Spada taking aim with one of his rifles.
The cow zoan would take a few sniffs, identifying allies as it stood at the ready for the backup to make its first move. Spada was in desperate need of allies if she were to sow chaos in this prison. The only question that remained was how she'd do it under the disguise of the head jailer.
Back on level one, Medusa would meet with Anna but before she'd lead the lieutenant to the ship they had to finalize the paperwork. The officer worker would give Medusa a few papers and a stamp, requiring her signature. While Medusa was making her way through the tedious nature of paperwork, Anna in the meantime was typing away diligently, making her report. "There were a few details that were rather vague in the Admiral's report. Could you give me the run down again as to how you managed to defeat and capture Spada? Can't have a half-written report filed OK on my name. That is just simply unacceptable." She'd say, showing her work ethic as nothing less than perfect.
A troubling personality for the lieutenant for now she had to lie and come up with a reason as to how they managed to detain Spada. Was Medusa as capable a liar as Spada herself?
Their alibi now fell on the Gorgon's shoulder. If she could not maintain this mask everything would most likely crumble to pieces.
ooc: I'll rp as the jailerbeast for this encounter, seeing as this is your npc it felt weird for me to use him as an npc. Let me know if that's ok with you
Level 3
Level 3. La Spada was arrogant. More than likely led to a grave mistake leaving Medusa. The two were separated. Domino arrived in the desert, keeping tabs on the elevator; that was her way down. The heat felt foreign, and Domino audibly grunted in discomfort - this would further impair her.
Domino’s awareness brought her to two figures, first pulled by the shouting. She also felt their powers - close to one another. One Zoan, though his bulk screamed it was not of the norm. A half-breed, one which Domino recognized as a Tiefling. Domino’s eyes widened when she saw the man - pure lust.
[Domino] “Surround them. Hold your fire until my signal. I’ll… play with them.”
Those last words were not like Domino at all. The sadistic grin that came with those words was in stark contrast with Domino’s usual strict demeanor. Lust and desire to play overcame the character.
Domino approached. Her body language spoke utter confidence. She walked up to the jailer beast, looked up, and chuckled. Domino turned to the man. Outside the guard’s view, but directly at the prisoner, Domino’s eyes churned with a green life - of the wicked. Soul power in full swing, the prisoner could feel the hate coming from her - the desire to burn the world while.
It would feel like a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
[Domino] “It is not the dead who should not be among the living, but the living who should not be among the dead.”
[Domino] “Which are you? Why do you fight such to be freed? Who bears your... hate?”
A wicked grin. Domino ordered the man to tell her his name. Actions unlike Domino. Yet, she did have the man surrounded - akin to a head jailer.
OCC: You can RP as Prometheus for now. I trust you and Kaka wholeheartedly with my NPCs.
Story: By trick and gambit, Prometheus stole the fire from the gods and gave it to the humans in ages past. Once known as a champion of humankind, he was revered as a god amongst men. However, the gods had their revenge. Zeus, king of the Olympian gods, sentenced Prometheus to eternal torment for his transgression. Prometheus was bound to a rock, and an eagle—the emblem of Zeus—was sent to eat his liver his liver would then grow back overnight, only to be eaten again the next day in an ongoing cycle.
La Spada tore apart Zeus’ eagle and freed Prometheus. The champion then came to know torture. Where once was his body, now was his soul tortured. Prometheus seeks to end his torture by taking his life. However, his life is now chained to La Spada for her actions. He seeks to repay his debt and finally die.
Level 1
Medusa was brought back to sign paperwork. While the girl went away on the computer, Medusa was given paperwork to amend. Specifically, the capture of La a Spada. They were in trouble. What Medusa had in strength, she lacked in tact. The Gorgon was in uncharted territory. If only La Spada could have controlled her arrogance.
[Medusa] “Naturally. Will explore this further. We came upon the ancient evil on a shipwreck. Dozens of ships….”
Medusa spoke calmly, appearing as if she was to comply. She told the beginning of the story. Thankfully for her, that’s what actually happened. T-Bone was ambushed when investigating a shipwreck - La Spada had hacked a den den mushi and called for their aid.
As she spoke, Medusa walked harmlessly diagonally behind Domino, grabbing the paperwork and acting as if she was reading them. With her tail, long as it was with her humongous body, she acted. As she spoke, the tip of Medusa’s tail came from the girl’s blind spot, it aimed to pierce her chest from behind. The tail also bore poison. If there were any other guards, Medusa would quickly pounce on them with the same attack.
The plan had gone off the skids. WWSD. What would Spada do? Kill.
Medusa Attack
81-100: 5. Large Building Level +1 C Rank +1 (invisible haki) = 120: 7. Town Level
Slaying Blow
Attacking with a stabbing motion towards one of the targets vital area to do damage. DPR C (21 mastery, 21 strength).
