After having arrived at the Aquarius Archipelago, the first thing Drake did was save Coral, one of the old friends of his daughters, and also one of the boys he had helped back then on his first visit to the island. The soldiers that had tried to capture him and kill him were still frozen in time, unable to move an inch. This was an advanced, stronger version than his Freezing Time technique that targets specific foes and locks them into frozen time. If they're too weak to resist they could stay like that for years.
Instead of simply slaughtering them outright, Drake had decided to keep them alive, waving his hands as he heard Coral speak while using his Psychic Powers to read their minds, quickly beginning to see disjointed images, amidst darkness. This darkness was making it hard for him to read their minds, some sort of protection placed by a powerful being.
"Huh, so they got a pretty strong protector, can't do that easily…"
