LPFM Versus Team Betrayers, Part Two

                                    

                                          
"What? Eva's on Deck Ten. Port side, near the stern, two hundred yards ahead of us. Llenn's on the same dekc, two hundred yards behind us. Right at the tip of the courtyard! And another fifty yards in front of her is Annihilator, moving towards you fast from starboard, Kureha."
Yeah, Kureha knew that.
Her eyes narrow as the crimson-eyed woman runs towards Kureha's position from the described position, then to a flash of pink fifty yards behind her. When the hell did Llenn get to the tip of the courtyard...and why didn't Kureha, who had been facing the prow end of the courtyard for the last four minutes, notice Llenn cross the courtyard?
In her ears, Pitohui's spill distracted her, and her eyes were locked on Devesta who showed up at the other prow end of the courtyard two minutes ago. She appeared first from the port side, photon sword ignited, and strolled across the length of the courtyard, twirling her yellow blade in front of her. 
Somehow she hid the shrimp behind that yellow light. But as soon as she hit the starboard side, Devesta turned her blade off and took off for the stern of the ship in a hurry.
It doesn't make sense why Devesta and Llenn acted the way she did at the prow. There's no reason Llenn came to the prow. There's no reason Devesta didn't cross the courtyard lengthwise towards Kureha. She and Llenn could have attacked LPFM and took out Kureha and Pitohui at most. It doesn't make sense they're coming to the stern end as they are.
"Be careful, Kureha and Fuka. They're planning something big."
Kureha reaches for her waist as Devesta comes within fifty yards. "Got it."
"Okay, will do. You seem to be enjoying yourself, Pito."
"Oh, you can tell?"
Devesta continues running directly towards Kureha, then flicks her right hand. Noticing a small, spherical silver object bounce off the floor, Kureha immediately leaps to her left, right as a blast of smoke overcomes her. Rolling to her knees, Kureha grabs her SMG from her back and points it at the cloud of smoke.
Then a blast catches her attention. Pitohui and fukaziroh shout in surprise in her right ear, and on instinct, Kureha gets down flat on the ground. Unlike her teammates, who have protective covering to get low and lessen the potential for shrapnel damage, Kureha can only make herself a smaller target.
Her eyes lingers on the wrathful blue flame down the slope of the courtyard, where Llenn and Devesta were present moments ago. One after the other, a burst of blue light went off when the previous light was beginning to fade.
"Could that be..."
"Yes, it could... They did it, dammit! Kureha, get out of there!"
"No need to tell me twi—Gaaah!" Kureha gags as a glowing rope wraps around and presses against her throat. Devesta took her by surprise, using the blasts as a distraction, and started to choke her out while tugging her towards the prow side of the ship. With the explosions and the screeching of the breaking ship in her ears, she could barely hear Devesta's words.
"May you drown with the ship."
Ahead of her is a gaping hole in the courtyard, with the layers of the ship exposed for all to see. Water pours through the hull, rapidly damaging the tilted ship's integrity. It's about to snap in two...and Kureha is about to be tossed into the flooding sea. 
No, she's too prideful to go out like this. She fights back, first trying to wrestle the rope away from her throat before her breathing is stopped, then starts to turn her back to the hole. Devesta does try wrangling kureha back towards the hole, yet it seems Kureha's STR stat is much higher. She can't completely tug the rope away, but she gets enough air in her system to turn perpendicular to the groaning hole.
