"YOUR UNBEARABLE IDEALISM IS SICKENING!" he snarls. "UGHH!" Vivi gasps. "Open your eyes, Princess..." Vivi struggles against his grip, gasping for air but refusing to back down. "I WON'T ABANDON MY IDEALS NO MATTER WHAT!" "WHAT DO I CARE IF YOU FIND IT UNBEARABLE!?" Crocodile stares at her coldly, stating his twisted worldview, "Ideals can only be brought to reality by people with ability..." Vivi chokes, "HUFF" "AGH-" "HUFF". She weakly vows, "I WILL SAVE... THIS C-" "I SWEAR!" Crocodile dismisses her efforts, "How uncute for a girl..." Vivi yells back defiantly, tears in her eyes, "I'M THE PRINCESS OF THIS COUNTRY! I'LL NEVER GIVE UP TO THE LIKES OF YOU!" "SOMEONE LIKE YOU COULD NEVER UNDERSTAND!" Page 12: The sounds of the brutal battle continue to rise from the square below, "WAAAAAH" "CLASH". The clock tower ticks closer to the deadly deadline, "tic toc". Crocodile holds Vivi by the neck, looking out over the fighting with a cruel smile. "ALL THE WHILE OBLIVIOUS TO THE FACT THAT THEY'RE WALKING TO THEIR VERY GRAVES..." Vivi looks on in horror, sweating and trembling as she realizes the scale of the impending slaughter. Crocodile continues to taunt her, "More rebel reinforcements are coming to the palace square as we speak..." "15 minutes left until the explosion..." He turns his gaze back to Vivi, saying her name ominously, "Vivi...", letting the hopelessness of the situation sink in.
