[Hotaru987]

Toni allowed herself to come out of her "scout mode" as she enjoyed the fride on the giantt bird. "This is so cool!" She yelled looking over the edge. On her hands and knees. "We're so high up...A fall from this height would kill you..." Toni mused only coming too when K introduced himself. It was then Captain Laguna, the guy who saved us, said something about a stone statue and to run if we ever see it. "Umm, excuse me...But if it's stone then why would we need to run from it? Oh, I'm Toni by the way." She smiled giving a two fingered salute.

 

Meanwhile, Vincent was on high alert and instantly had his sword drawn when he heard Riki yell. At seeing that it was nothing he put his blade away, an irritated expression on his young face. "At least try to remain quiet. I have a feeling that we are being watched this very mome-" Suddenly a bush to his left rustled as his hand quickly found the handle of his blade. Fortunatly, it was only a squirrl. "Hn...Anyway, just keep on guard...And stop playing with your little gems."

 

--------------

 

Crystal consentraited as she looked at the three cups. 100 beris were on the line, but she was waiting for big money before she actually played for real. She knew that he tricked her earlier, putting a pebble under all three so that she'd win, and now there wasn't even a pebble under there. Hn, this idiot thinks I'm stupid. Oh well, I'm soon going to clean him out. She thought. "Come on girly, make your choice." The man chuckled, confident that he's about to sucker another naive person. After macking her choice, she wasn't surprised that she lost, but for the sake of her act she put on a show. "Aww! And I really wanted to win." The guy took Crystal's money and dropped in into a a chest that was filled with berries. It was easily 3000 berries, some of it being gems. "Sorry girly. Maybe if you play again you'll win."

 

"But I don't have anything else to bet."

 

"Hmm." He looked around and spotted Saya, he grinned. "How about your friend's sword? That'll fetch a good sum."Crystal shook her head, "Sorry but I can't bet that. I guess i'll just have to leave."

 

Crystal started to get up but the guy stoped her, "Hold on there little girl. You sure you don't have anything?" She reached into her pocket and pulled out a daimond that could easily fetch a sum of 10,000 berries. "Well...I have this...But it's not mine to spend." "Oh come one. What's one more game?" A tiny smirk appeared on her face. "Alright, if I win...I want that chest, and if you win the diamond is yours." The con man laughed as did the bruly men watching the game. "Whatever you say little girl." He mixed them up a bit, but crystal knew it was so he could sneak the pebble back under the cup. He then showed Crystal the pebble before mixing it up. Crystal watched the man's movement closely and right when he was about to do his little trick she stopped him. You see there was a small latch under the table that opened up a small trap door. There the pebble would saftly land in a small catching bag under the table. However, Crystal used her devil fruit to freeze the latch shut, keeping the pebble in place.

 

"Alright little girl. Make your choice." Crystal smirked causing the man to falter. "This one." The man chuckled and picked up the middle cup, "Sorry, but looks li-Wh-wh-what!?! How can that be!!" Crystal laughed taking her diamond and the guys treasure box a happy grin on her face. "It was a pleasure playing with you. So long. Come on Saya." After exiting the bar Crystal laughed. "Man, that was the easiest win yet! Boy those men were dum-"

 

"Hey! Give me back my money!!" Turning around Crystal saw the man and five other guys behind him, all of them brandishing weapons. "Why should I won."

 

"You little b****! You cheated!"

 

"Yeah....Well so did you. So I cheated a cheater big deal."

 

"AHHHH!!! That does it!! Get her!!"

[.:Blu:.]

"Well it's a pleasure cutie." Laguna replied to Toni with a drunken bow. "Anyways, it's not the statue yer need to worry about, but what's near the statue that yer need to run away from. Yer see, the main tribe of those cannibalistic indians are located there so if yer don't wanta die an early death, then I suggest you heed my words." Laguna then sat down on Tiki and began drinking a bottle of rum. "Like I asked before, what be yer business entering this hellhole?" Laguna asked once again. Tiki was closely arriving at Laguna's base.

 

-Meanwhile-

 

After being hit with such an attack, Spriggs was sent flying back until he was stopped when he collided with a boulder. Spriggs lie there face-first in the sand. He was too weak now to activate his devil fruit powers. "Ugh..... Well done Admiral Trace..... You've won..... I guess the legends are true, of your powers I mean..... I guess I couldn't clip those wings afterall..... Maybe next time then....." Those were Spriggs last words before he fell unconscious.

[Li††le Mons†er]

Eureka was extremley quiet. He knew he almost got everyone killed and was regreting his disicion terribly. He was also trying to hide his face from the others because he was very upset about his hair. He was slightly sobbing when he herd the drunken man ask what their business was. He didn't know if he should tell the man or if the others would do it. But by the time the man asked it again Eureka had wiped away his tears and stopped sobbing. "Some of my crew mates were knocked off ship during a terrible storm and we have come here under the impression that this is where they washed ashore. We came here straight away in hopes to save them."

--------

 

Pandora was completely quiet the entire time. He did not flinch at the other two's mishaps he just remained calm and on guard.

[.:Blu:.]

"Saving crewmates huh? That's very noble of you people, but there's a high percentage that they're already been eaten, then again maybe not." Laguna said casually as Tiki landed at his base. Tiki then gently slide everyone off of his back and transformed back into a miniature version, and flew back onto Laguna's shoulder. "Well now maties, are ye really willing to risk your life to save yer crewmates? A lot of pirates I met would rather save their own skin then that of their crewmates. Cowards they are.... So, what is it? Do you really believe in yer hearts that is what you want to do? Saving yer crewmates or yerself?" Laguna asked while sitting down on a slightly broken chair.

[Esplin 9466 Primary]

"I knew something bad was gonna happen." Saya backed away to the door. "Crystal. Let's get out of here!" She grabbed her sword and held it partially out of its sheath, just encase she had to fight. "I hope you're ready Raitou."

---

Arashi was able to free his wings and stop himself from falling just feet away from the ground. "Dammit. Are you trying to kill me?" Daichi was still on a large tree branch, he had transformed in to his human form while Arashi was falling. "If that had been enough to kill you then I would be ashamed to call you my brother." He jumped off the tree and transformed in to a gorilla. >Monkey fist!< Arashi grabbed his sword and started flying at Daichi. "Dragon blade!" Arashi blocked the gorilla's punch with the edge of his sword and then spit a large blast of fire at Daichi. >Burning fist.< Daichi slammed his fist in to Arashi's stomach and knocked him to the ground. >I win!< Daichi grabbed on to a large tree branch and then shifted back in to a human. "That was a close one." He sat on the branch and rubbed his skin, most of his body had received burns from the attack, but they where only minor. "I'm surprised that last attack actually beat him...." Daichi was cut off when the blade of a sword appeared by his neck. Daichi sighed slightly. "I guess I should have seen that coming." Arashi stood behind Daichi, holding his sword to his brothers neck. "You lose." Daichi laughed at this. "Why do you think I turned in to a human as soon as i got on to this branch?" Daichi slammed his fist on to the branch causing it to break and fall to the ground, taking Arashi with it. Daichi then jumped off the broken branch and landed on Arashi's face as he tried to fly up and slammed his head in to the ground. "guess I win?" Daichi picked up his unconscious brother and started walking back to the ship.

---

"S-shut up!" Riki held his hand out to the emerald and it flew in to his hand. "They may be gems, but they have more uses than just playing." He continues juggling the jewels and followed Vincent.

[Allesk]

Ifrit suddenly tripped and fell face forward but luckily Kurage was quick enough to catch him before he hit the ground. "I told you to remain calm. If you don't it may put us all in danger." Kurage said slightly irritated. She did not show her irritation however. She did not want to make him feel more uncomfortable then he already did. Nova turned to see what had happened when out of the corner of her eye she saw a bit of movement. She brushed it off as an animal but remained on guard just in case. "Are you okay Ifrit?" She said in a concerned voice. Kurage lifted him to his feet. She then let her hair down. Her tentacles nearly covering her entire face until she pushed it behind her head. She had forgotten to do so earlier but now she remembered. "Yeah, I'll manage. Sorry Captain." he finally said "Don't worry about it. We will be fine." Nova answered with a smile. Kurage had an unsettling feeling in her though. She could feel the presence of the Indians. But then again it could have been just her imagination playing tricks on her. "We should continue then." Kurage said. The group then continued to walk deeper into the forest, not fully aware of what was in store.

[namelessk]

Trace breathed heavily in and out as he stared down at Spriggs who was lying face first in the sand unconscious. Trace flew down towards Spriggs and upon landing, shifted back into his human form. His shirt was now torn away, but he still wore his Admiral cape. He left this unbuttoned to reveal his muscular chest. He picked Spriggs up by the scruff of his neck and then threw him over his shoulder. He was a little weak, but the battle was worth it. Now he had capture the two and completed his mission. Now, he just had to bring them back to Kami. He began walking down the beach of the island, heading towards where his boat had docked itself. He then used Soru and disappeared. He reappeared in front of his boat and set Spriggs within it. He then got in himself without saying a word to Allaine and then sat down. He took out the oars and began rowing away from the island, heading back towards Marine headquarters.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kadyr remained quiet as the strange man told them of the statue and of the dangers of the island. He didn't care of the dangers. He would take them all on to save those missing crew members. Within his head, he was pumping his fist in the air and fire was burning in his eyes. I will save those crew members! He sat down on the bird to prevent falling off. Then, when they reached the man's hideout, kadyr jumped off. The man introduced himself as Captain Laguna. When the man asked the question on whether they would save their crewmates or save themselves, Kadyr quickly spoke up, though in his quiet voice. "Saving your crewmates is most important. A crew that trusts one another is one that does not doubt whether they will be found when they are separated from their crew. I was never found by my parents, and so I have lost trust with all people. One day, I hope to regain that trust, through the kindness and trust that my crew shows me." Kadyr said. It felt weird for him to be opening up like this, but the question really got to him.

[.:Blu:.]

Allaine saw as Trace threw the unconscious Spriggs onto the boat. Spriggs landed onto her but she quickly quicked him off to the side. "Hey! Watch where your throwing things! I am a lady you know that?!" Allaine said with an annoyed voice. "(Humph.... So even Spriggs fail in defeating Trace.... He sure is a formidable opponent..... Although, he seems tired.... At least you were able to present a challenge to him.... Still..... It looks like Impel Down will be our next destination.... Spriggs will be on level six, while I level five..... Hmm, I wish I would've been a little bit stronger....)" Allaine thought to herself.

 

-Meanwhile-

 

After hearing Kadyr's response to his earlier question, Laguna starred at him and then took a drink from his bottle of rum. "Yer a fool for thinking of saving others and not yerself.... but I guess if I called ye a fool, then I would be calling meself one too." Laguna stated as he drew the bottle of rum away. "I admire your determination maties. Very well, I don't rarely do this kinda stuff, but take Tiki with ya. He'll be your transportation, and he's not a bad fighter either. Make sure ta return him ta me later...." Laguna said as Tiki flew over to Kadyr, Toni, and Eureka.

 

[spoiler=OOC:]Tiki is yours to control now.

 

[Hotaru987]

"Of course!! I'll be back before you know it, and I hope you'll be ready. Cause by time I come back I'll be 100 times better than I am now." Sana said down on her knee so she could be on Yoh's level. "Don't expect me to go easy on you ause I don't give out handicaps. She grinned at the prospect of a good cook off. Yoh had the same passion as she, probably even more. Sana would have to watch her back because if Yoh kept that same level of progress he just might win.

 

Meanwhile, crystal grabbed Saya's hand and ran away laughing happily. "I can never get used to this it's so fun! Don't you think Saya? Daichi usually gets rid of them but I just out run them!" Behind them the group of angry men were slowly catching up, yelling, and kicking up lots of dust behind them. "Hm...This group is a lot fast the the other's I ran from." It was then Crystal noticed that she had been dragging Saya this whole time, and he feet weren't even touching the ground. "Hehe, sorry Saya!" She suddenly stopped and turned around to face the mob, who was still surprisingly behind her, and smiled.

 

"He....He....Now hand over the box....We've got you both!" Said te guy who Crystal beat. Said person tilted her head to the side, "But why should I? I know how about we fight for it. Me against you all? Sounds fair right?"

 

"You got a deal!! Boys kill that b****!!" With a thunderous cry the mob of men charged towards the red headed girl. "Saya. Bare with me for a while...It might get a bit chilly." As she was talking the temperature around them started to drop and everyone's breathe could be seen. The people who were watching suddenly left due to the cold, as a bluish-white mist began circling around Crystal. "Wha the?..." "Whats going on!?" Chores of this came from the mob.

 

One of the men spotted Crystal and pointed to her. "Is the girl!! She's doing it!!"

 

"No! She must of eaten the devil fruit!"

 

"It's a she-devil!! RUN!!"

 

Crystal blinked suddenly stoping the use of her powers. "Um...Well...I guess that's taken ared of..." She looked at Saya smiling widely. "Care for some suvaniers? My treat."

 

----------------

 

Toni looked at her captain in surprise. That was the first time she had ever heard something so person from him. So that's why he's so adament about helping Captain Nova find her crew mates. New found respect and admiration for K came to Toni. There had been a few times when she wondered if this was the right crew for her but now she was positive. Her captain may seem cold and mean to other people but those on his crew knew otherwise. She smiled to herself before turning to Tiki patting him on the beak. "Dont worry Captain Laguna, we'll make sure he stays safe."

 

Vincent sighed and ignored Riki. There was something there watching them, and suddenly a loud rumbling sound was heard, and the ground under them shook. It was a strange thougt because if it was an earthquake everything out be shaking but it was just the ground under them. Vincent's eyes widened, "Move!" In that instant a large hole appeared where they had just ben standing. It would be smart if the others move because the fall looked endless but at the bottom a small glint appeared indicating something sharp was down there. All of the indians in hiding suddenly came out and there were at least 25 of them. He sighed drawing his swords. "Damn Indians..."

 

Over with Nova, her group was right in the middle of the ground of Indians. It was then that the largest Indian pulled the rope and a single arrow shot out mere inches from Nova's face stopping her in her tracks. That was the signal. Not mising a beat all of the Indians threw their spears or let the arrows fly, and suddenly duzons of arows and spears were flying at the group from all directions not giving them a space for retreat.

[Esplin 9466 Primary]

Saya sat on the ground and watched. She was going to help, but the cold air made her Mizu Mizu fruit powers useless. "You said Daichi deals with this stuff all the time?" Saya stared as the men ran off. "You scare me." She looked at Crystal when she released her powers. "Souvenirs? Sure." Saya jumped to her feet. "I just hope we don't have to deal with any more of those Mobs." She held up her arm and changed in to water for a few moments, just to make sure she could still do it. "All right, back to normal." She laughed slightly. "Well as normal as a person with devil fruit powers can be anyways." The water turned back in to a hand and she followed Crystal.

---

Riki was unable to move in time however he was able to stop himself from falling by controlling the gems in his hand and gliding to the outside of the hole. "This looks like it could get interesting." Riki continued juggling the gems as he examined the Indians, his body started changing until is was almost completely Diamond. Only his joints, face and neck where still skin. "You guys can go on ahead, I'll take care of these guys."

[Hotaru987]

Crystal laughed at Saya when she said she scared her. "Don't worry, as long as you don't get on my bad side you have nothing to worry about." She said as she browzed through some of the jewlery and a near by stand. "What do you think I should get? Daichi might want something...But what? He's not a jewelry person...Hmm..." She shrugged, "Oh well I'll think of something." As she said that she was grabbing nearly everything off of the counter. It was kind of sad because other tan the necklace Daichi gave her, she didn't wear jewelry and only bought them to look at them. After a long while of thinking Crystal finally decided to just settle on four things. A small silver ring, a heavily jewel encrusted gold bracelet, and a ruby studded head band. "That's all I want from this stand. See anything you like Saya? You can take whatever."

[Allesk]

The moment the arrow flew past her face she knew thy were in trouble. "GET DOWN!" Nova yelled as she suddenly became completely magma and rushed over the other to keeping a two and a half foot from them so she would not burn them. The moment Kurage heard this she grabbed ifrit and pulled him to the ground. She saw Nova turning to magma and knew she should do as she was told. Ifrit was glad the Kurage had pulled him down because his reactions weren't the best. Nova created a barrier over them just until surrounding fire stopped. The moment she could she reformed beside them. "Sorry for the heat." she said. The heat was unbearable but once it was gone they seemed to be fine. Then Ifrit looked around. He couldn't see anyone. Him and Kurage got up. Then suddenly Ifrit started to enlarge. He grew to the size of half a giant, his arms turned into cannons. Seeing some of them from up above he fired massive cannon balls at them.Nova made sure to incinerate any fire the would be directed at him. "The devil-fruit not only granted her power but it gave her incredible speed. Kurage climbed up Ifrit like a monkey and rested on his shoulder. She did not know where the enemy was coming from and long range was not her style of fighting so for now she would wait.

[Esplin 9466 Primary]

(That's only 3 things.)

 

"I think I'll take this one." Saya grabbed a dolphin necklace and held it in front of her eyes. The necklace had no gold and was made out of silver, the only jewel was a small sapphire hanging from the dolphins nose. "It's so pretty." She put it on her neck and looked in to a mirror. "Perfection." She handed the necklace to Crystal to pay for it. "Here you go." She looked at the stuff Crystal had picked out. "Are you sure you have enough money for that stuff?"

---

Daichi arrived at the Devil Bat pirate ship and dropped off an injured Arashi. After going to the black rose pirate ship and seeing that Crystal and Saya where not there he decided to head back in to the city. "I have a weird feeling that crystal has been gambling lately." Daichi said to himself as he passes the place that Crystal had won money from. He could overhead the men talking about a girl with devil fruit powers who had cheated them out of 3000 berries. "It's a miracle that they're still alive if they fought Crystal without me around to stop them." Daichi continued down the street searching for his crew mates.

[Hotaru987]

After seeing Nova turn into magma and melt their weapons that didn't stop them from jumping out and attacking the three. However they weren't expecting the male to grow to such a large size. Almost a fourth of the Indians there were killed from the cannon shots. Once the large Indian saw this he shouted, "Inakolipi!! (Use the darts)" Once they heard the order half of them stayed back and pulled out blow tupes to shoot sleeping darts at Irift. While the other half attacked Nova directly using whatever the could to get pass the magma. Some of the indians stayed in hiding still shooting arrows at the piraits.

 

----------

 

(oh...lol thought I said three...)

 

Crystal looked at the things in her hands and shrugged. "Im sure we do. It can't be that much." She then turned to the sales woman waiting for her to tell her the price. "Its....30,000 berries."The woman seemed to be a bit scared of Crystal having seen what she could do. However, Crystal smiled warmly at the woman and pulled out the amount needed. "Here you go ma'am. Thanks." Once they walked away she said, "See told you we had enough." Crystal put the ring on, and the other two things in her pockets. "Come on, there are some nice fabrics over there."

[Li††le Mons†er]

Pandora pushed himself into the air with a gust of wind to push him high enough that he could land on a tree branch. He pulled his kabuto off his back. Aplified by the powers of his devil fruit he launched a barrage of bullets towards some of the indians attempting to snipe them. He clawed at the air with his right hand. lashes of violent wind flying at some of the indians. If any were hit they would be cut by the wind causing the skin to break.

 

Eureka looked at Laguna with slight anger. "Of course! Saving your crew is the most important thing. Your crew is your family. You must protect your family no matter what it costs! A family that abandons you has no right to call you a part of their family. If you cannot stand to protect those dear to you then you don't diverse legs to stand on in the first place. Cowardice is not an option." Eureka said letting lose. He felt kinda bad about the points he was making since K said that his family abandoned him. But he felt like it was something that must be said. He hope his words would slightly help K with his situation.

[Esplin 9466 Primary]

"So much for that!" Riki sighed as he watched Pandora as he attacked the Indians. "Oh well. I guess I can share." The emerald he was juggling fell in to his left hand and he threw it to his right hand, but as it passed in front of him it shot forward like a bullet and slammed in to one of the Indians in the stomach. "One!" The ruby landed in his left hand and after being thrown it shot forward and hit one of the Indians in the head. "Two!" he repeated this with the Topaz, however instead of flying forward it shot straight up and blocked the weapon of an attacking Indian. The Topaz disarmed and knocked out the attacker. "Three!." The Indian fell to the ground unconscious. "Jewel Jewel, ferris wheel!" Another Indian, obviously thinking he could not fight after using all of his gems, attacked him from the front and attempted to stab him in the chest. The weapon had been completely shattered after colliding with Riki's Diamond hard body. "You really think that toy can hurt Diamond, the hardest mineral known to man?" Riki placed his hand on the mans chest. "Jewel Jewel Jet." Riki's arm detached from his body and forced the Indian in to a tree. After slamming in to the tree Riki's arm immediately returned to his body, along with the three jewels he had been jiggling earlier.

---

"Sure, lets go." Saya stepped outside. "Hey. It's Daichi!" She pointed at Daichi who was walking torts them. "Hey girls. Sorry I was gone so long. Did I miss anything?" Daichi said when he stopped in front of them. "So, Crystal, it seems like you where up to the same tricks as always. And this time you decided to do it without me."

[namelessk]

"Well, when I caught you, you weren't doing very lady like things. Ladies don't steal." Trace said, smiling a little. He was only teasing Allaine. He continued rowing, remaining silent the whole way. He just wished that there was a faster way to reach Marine headquarters. He wanted to know just what exactly it was that Fleet Admiral Kami wanted to talk to these two about. He then turned back to Allaine. "For what reason do you think I captured you two for? What do you think the Marines want with you?" He asked Allaine, only making small talk. He really wanted to know what she though on why she was being captured.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kadyr sat there quietly after his outburst and personal opinion about trust. He listened to Eureka's own point of view and held greater respect for the man. He had already taken on those beliefs when his parents never showed up to find him. He never considered them family any longer. He was his own family along with the people he trusted dearly. He was slightly surprised when the man then said that they could take his bird Tiki with them to save Nova's crew members. It would be better for them to fly around the jungle instead of walk through it. If they simply walked through it again, they would meet more of those Indians again. "I think we should be leaving now. Your help is....appreciated." Kadyr said. He then looked towards the others to see if they were ready to go as well.

[Allesk]

Nova attempted to block all the darts with her magma however thee was just to many and she failed to keep up. Ifrit fired more cannonballs at the Indians as they jumped out. He was starting to get a bit drowsy but he brushed it off. He thought maybe because this was one of his first real battle situations and no just a normal training session with Vincent or Nova. Ifrit managed to fire one last cannonball before the poisons took their course and he fell backwards passing out. As he fell he knocked some trees over. Kurage screamed then jumped off him as he began to fall. She landed next to a large group of the Indians. Her tentacles wrapped around three of them and sent heavy electric pulses into them. she then unsheathed the six blades on her back and spun slashing into the Indians. When she stopped she remained in a battle stance and when an Indian neared to attack her she slashed at them with extreme force. Nova erupted into a wave of magma incinerating and Indian that dared to come at her. The numbers of the Indians seemed to drop drastically but the two seemed to be exerting a lot of energy now that Ifrit was down. Hopefully no more Indians would arrive. However they were making quite the disturbance.

[Li††le Mons†er]

"Riki, we are here to save stranded crew members. Having to save the people who came to rescue would not make things easier." Pandora said to Riki. Riki was one of his crew mates he would not just leave him to do all the work. Plus Pandora wanted to have some fun too. Pandora then clawed at the air again. This time a mini tornado formed sucking in ten Indians. While the Indians were hopelessly flying around within the tornado Pandora sniped then with his kabuto. After he had finished off all of the Indians in the tornado he pushed away air to the side of him using the left hand and the tornado threw their bodies to the side and out of view.

 

Eureka was completely ready to leave. He wanted to search as quickly as possible now that he knew what kind of trouble lied in this jungle. And that wasn't even the worst of it. The haven't even seen the main tribe of Indians. Eureka was slightly worried. "Well, 'ki hopefully you can take us to where they keep the hostages in the main tribe." Eureka said. He wasn't positive if that's where his fellow crew members were but he knew if he should look anywhere first it should be there. That was the most dangerous place and he did not want his crew mates to be there at all. even if there was a chance they weren't there he had to make sure. He thought the others may think he was crazy for suggesting they go straight into the main tribes territory first.

Sydney found a warship that worked well enough for her and could get her across the calm belt nicely. She laid back in a comfy reclining chair and looked up at the sky. "I'm on my way you lousy pirate scum." She said then began to whistle out of boredom.

[.:Blu:.]

"Alright everyone, let's go....." Dan said as he walked back onto the boat followed by Jack and Yura. "I'll hold you to that promise Sana! I'll won't be easy to beat!" Yoh exclaimed in happiness as he also teared up a bit. "And Yura, if we meet again, you better improve on your rock-paper-scissors skills!" Yoh yelled out to him. "..... Fine....." Yura calmly responded as he waved a slight goodbye. "So you loss to a kid at rock-paper-scissors? Wow Yura, you sure are something." Jack joked as he waved goodbye to Yoh and Muri. "..... Humph, I'll play you later then....." Yura said as he walked off. "Heh, you bet you will." Jack said energetically as he ran to the steer the ship.

 

-Meanwhile-

 

Laguna stood up and walked inside to his tent. He then walked out carrying a small pistol in his hand. "Here I almost forgot ta give ye this." Laguna said as he threw the small pistol to them. "That's a flash gun. Just shoot it up 'to ther air to signify if yer need help from me alright. I know ye maties can probably handle things on yer own, but, that way at least I won't feel guilty if ye turned to dinner. Anyways, best 'o luck to ye." Laguna said as he waved a slight goodbye to them and then stumbled back into his tent.

 

-Meanwhile-

 

"Hmm, I thought you Marines wanted to capture little old me for your sick ways." Allaine joked. "Would you please Allaine.... Hearing you talk like that really puts me off...." Spriggs responded to Allaine's surprise. "What the- Since when did the bug awoke?" Allaine asked as she kicked him in the back. "Hey! Stop it you little troll!" Spriggs yelled. "Troll?! I'm not the one living in sand now am I?!" Allaine asked with a smugged grin. "Trolls don't live in sand you bimbo! That's why I call you one!" Spriggs yelled in response. "Hey! Watch your mouth you little ingrate!" Allaine responded. both of them continued yelling back and forth on the boat. Even going as far as physically injuring each other and rocking the boat slightly.

[Esplin 9466 Primary]

"Yeah, whatever." Riki continued juggling the gems, preparing for another attack. As he juggled more crystal minerals rose from the ground and compressed to form even more gems which floated to Riki. When they where done Riki was juggling 8 gems at once. "Compression." Each of the crystals compressed until they where no larger than a bullet. "Jewel Jewel Gatling." Each of the crystals started spinning to the point that they looked like a ring rather than 8 gems. After a few second a straight, red, line shot down from the center of the circle and a gem was shot at one of the Indians. To anybody who could see the speed of the gems, what had happened was the gem moved in to the center of the circle with so much speed that it looked like a line, the gem was then shot forward. This continued eight times, each time the circle became less of a circle do to the lack of gems. "Only one left." Riki looked directly at the Indian. "So it's you choice. Run and live or Fight and keep your warriors pride."

Crystal grinned at Daichi. "Yeah well, I figured that with Saya here she could take your place, but I ended up handeling it myself. I didn't even have to fight, once they say my piwers they ran with their tail between their legs." As she was speaking she was looking through the fabrics not having found anything she liked. "What about you? I take it you won against your brother. Or did he just let you go?" The only reason she wasn't heading to the ship was because she wasn't sure to Saya was finished looking around. But once she was, they would be heading back to sea.

 

Meanwhile, Sana was walking backwards waving at Muri and Yoh until she could no longer see them. "They were nice. I can't wait to come back." She smiled turning around only to bumb into Dan's back. Sana blushed and jumped back. "Hehe, sorry Dan wasn't paying attention."

Vincent was cutting down any Indians that got in his way with ease. "Hm, they are a lot easier to deal with than I originally thought." He glanced over at Riki and Pandora just to make sure they were fine. They weren't in his crew but they were kind enoug to help them, so he wouldn't want them to get hurt. It seemed like that was it for the attack. "I guess there was only a first wave....Let's go before anymore decide to show up." Vincent put away his balde and quickly went deeper into the forest.

 

On Toni's end she was still petting Tiki only half listening to Laguna as he gave them a Flash Gun just in case. "I'm ready to go when ever you are captain." Toni exclaimed hopping onto Tiki's back and landed in a sitting position. "Let's get this show on the road! Thos freaky Indians won't ever get us now...Well except with projectile weapons...Unless Captain uses his light trick. That's pretty cool and could be useful for scouting missions. Speaking of that I guess I won't get to explore the jungle as well as I wanted too. Hm, I'm starting to get hungry again I should've stole more from Riki...Oh well..." She rambled looking up at the sky waiting for her Captain and Eureka.

 

Meanwhile, as Nova and Kurage quickly got ride of the Indians the Large one, who stayed out of the fight, grabbed the conch that wason his belt and blew through it. The sound was loud and deafening as it traveled through the entire Island. The Indians that were left standing backed off and was gone as quickly as they left. The large Indan took out another dart and shot it at Irift hitting his leg. This dart was different than the others, having a weird blue pattern going around it and a red and black feather. Soon the thre pirates were alone, and Irift was slowly becoming poisoned.

Nova's eye's widened as all the Indian's fled. She then saw that there was darts all through Ifrit. She pulled them each out. When she came across a weird one. It was different then the others and she knew that it was not good at all. "s***! We need to get Eureka. And fast." Nova then ran over to a tree and began to burn it creating ominous black smoke in the air. Hopefully this would get Eureka's attention. and he would know how to get here. But at the same time this would cause a risk at them being found by Indians faster. Nova set set another tree on fire. She also may have started a forest fire which would put the others in danger. But it was their only hope. She didn't know what kind of poisons were in Ifrit but she wasn't taking any chances on them. Kurage looked around. She didn't know what to do. She had no what to call for aid and she had no medical knowledge to help Ifrit.

[.:Blu:.]

Dan calmly turned around and looked at Sana. "It's alright.... Hmm, Sana, why is your face red? Do you have a fever?" Dan asked as he turned his full body around to face her. "Heh.... Love fever...." Jack uttered quietly just to be punched by Yura in the stomach. Yura was quite calm and kept his eyes closed, even when punching Jack. "Oof...." Jack said, falling to the floor. "Do interupt in other's business.... Sana will tell him when she feels ready.... But.... I can assure that'll be a long time from now...." Yura estimated. Jack slowly stood up and regained his composture while still rubbing his stomach. "I guss...." Jack replied.

Vincent stopped suddenly smelling smoke. He jumped onto the branch of a tall tree, and quickly manovered his way to the very top. "It's Nova....But what is she doing?...Something must be wrong." He continued to stare it the direction of the smoke. It wasn't too far away and he could be there in less then a half hour. "Nova...What are you doing? I wish I knew what was wrong...." After minutes of hard thinking he decended the tree and faced the original direction. He had a feeling that he would be of no help at the moment. Him going there now would only waste time...No matter how much we wanted to head over. "I'm so sorry captain...Hey you two! Let's go! That Indian is of no threat to us. If he tries to attack when we leave then you will know his answer. We have no time to worry about his life choices!"

"Well....Actually...I..." Sana hesitated looking down. She thought about what Yura said about telling Dan about her fellings and felt this was a good a time as any. But when she went to open her mouth a nervous chuckle escaped. "No, I'm fine. It's probably just the sun. It is kind of hot out." For effect she fanned her face. She smiled maneging to rid her face of the blush. "Really, I'm find Dan. In face I feel better than ever."
