Chapter 1: Yumegypt
Two days had passed since the ambush of sand freaks riding phoenixes. Robin was trying her best to heal her burn wounds, along with Usopp's, on their shoulders by using Choppers medical supplies. Brooke was merely fixing his hat on his head as Franky repaired the damage done by the flames. The most critical area that has been burned was the ladie's rooms. Luffy sat around at his favorite seat as he stared out at the ocean. With Nami gone, Robin did the navigation. Everyone had to do extra work since Sanji, Matt, Richie, and Chopper disappeared.
(Anywhere)
Nami, Becky, and Reese were still riding with the sand freaks. The leader eventually had all of them land on, well, land. The three pirates looked around, notticing that they were inland, and that they were in some sort of desert. It was hot and dry there, but one of their captors handed them cloaks, just like in Arabasta. Their leader got off his horse and signaled his minions to do the same and tie their creatures to the ground. Becky and Nami got off as the leader helped htem down, Reese merely landed in the sand. Soon enough, they were chained and dragged across the sand, in Reese's case actually. They walked over a sand-dune for thirty minutes before seeing a giant door in the ground. The leader stopped and he turned to Becky,"You are aware why you're here?"
"Why are we here?" Nami asked him, he pointed at Becky's wrist. On it was a golden bacelet that was similar to the Bracelet of Anubis in the Mummy, only it had a gryphon instead of a scorpion. "Isn't that one of the tresures we found on Skypiea-"
"I saw a gold jewelry box on you desk, and I opened it. This thing was in there. I took it out and it clung to my wrist like a leech! Then, it showed me old buildings, ruins and stuff-"
"And that is why you're here with us. Anything else you would love to add?"
"The box said I had 9 days before the Dream Prince wakes up-"
"Yes, but did you forget, that when you put the bracelet on, you have but nine days to reach the Kagami Shiro in the oasis behind the Yume Kado before the bracelet itself sucks the life out of you?"
"That part I missed...I didn't know those things wre real!"
(Note: I was watching the Mummy when I wrote this)
(Anyday)
"Guys!" Chopper, Tsuki, and Matt were waving their hands in the air as the raced to them. "We found a town up ahead the river!"
"River?! I thought-" Richie began.
"We drifted here last night, you won't believe where the hell we are." Matt said. "Arabasta's-"
"ARABASTA?!" Sanji yelled. "That's, like, near Reverse Mountain!"
"No, no, no, no, Arabasta's twin country."
"Remember the Yume Kado?" Tsuki asked, Sanji nodded. "Becky's dream land is an actual kingdom in the Grand Line!"
"I never knew Alabasta had a twin country." Sanji muttered, he took Luna in his arms. "Where's the town?"
"Up ahead, duh." Matt replied as he pointed ahead. "She still hadn't waken up yet, eh?"
"An explosion that big wouldn't take her down that easily, trust me, I've seen her myself."
"Sure you have, an explsion is another word for your-ow!" Matt was elbowed in the ribs by Richie while the walked up river for several minutes beore arriving at a sea port similar to Nanohana. "Chopper, can't you heal her?"
"No, but I was able to pull this out." Chopper showed the guys an arrow, the tip was made of terquious while the feathers were those of a phoenix's. "I don't know what was inserted at the tip, though. The poisin isn't recorded in any book."
"Then let's go find some shamen voodoo docter guy to help us." said the wise Richie, his clothes were different since he looked like the Medjai from the Mummy. "If there's anyone who can fix my girlfriend, it's that kind of person."
(Anyplace)
"Can you take a large guess on where everyone is?" Chehero begged Robin in the kitchen, the rest of the crew was having a meeting.
"It's hard to tell." Robin frowned. "One half was kidnapped, the other half was thrown overboard. For all I know, they could be anywhere."
"Yeah, and with Nami gone, it'll be hard to know where to go." Brooke added. "The Grand Line is like hell itself right now."
"Tell me about it." Franky said. "A-"
Zoro cuts in with a serious face (doesn't he alwas have one?),"Screw navigation." He caught everyone's attention. "Listen to me here, who would be the one's who are in most danger right now?"
"Becky, Reese, and Nami, they were kidnapped." said Usopp.
"Who are the least in danger?"
"Chopper, Sanji, Richie, Luna, and Matt. Your point?" Chehero asked.
"I've got his point." Robin had solved yet another problem. "We should go after our enemy."
"What about Chopper and the others?" Usopp asked as he stood up strait in his seat. Luffy stood behind them with his arms crossed and had his face hidden behind his hat. "Luffy, we didn't see you come in-"
"Straw Hat, you need to make a choise on who, where, or what to go after." Franky said gravely. "We can't slip up the crew anymore."
(Anytime)
"You know, it wouldn't kills us to give us your name." Reese broke the tense silence between captuors and prisoners. The leader and his servants gave glances at each other and shrugged. "Well?"
They've been going through a long dark tunnel for several hours, the only light that was there was their torches. The leader gave a sigh before decided to show his identity, he slipped off the mask and Becky and Nami jumped. He was Prince Yume! Only, he looked like a rotting corpse like the curse from PotC: the Curse of the Black Pearl and the Mummy, his minions did the same, each of them had the head of a jackle, it gave them the Anubis look.
"I wish I never asked." muttered Reese as they made their way.
"Yeah, tell me about it." whispered the minion that held their chains. (boy, I think I made someone else say that) "We had a scary mask contest, guess who won? His royal highness."
"Ah."
"Ya know." Becky began. "I never knew you were real."
"Did you know that I'm real enough to take over the world with your bracelet?" asked the prince.
"I don't think that'll happen." she replied in a matter of factly.
"And what makes you think that?" Yume lowered himself to her eyelevel.
"Because...my big sister is going to kick-your-ass." she said every word in a serious way, it made Yume raise a eyebrow behind his mask.
"That depends, for the last time I saw her, she was thrown off your ship with an arrow made of manticore poison stabbing her back."
Becky's proud smile faded as Yume's serious face was replaced with a smirk of satisfaction, she went to Nami's side and hugged her waist. The navigator ran her hand through Becky's hair to calm her. "Shush, manticores aren't real..."
(Anywhere)
"MANTICORE POISON?!" the guys yelled at Horus. Horus was a middle-aged man who traveled across Yumegypt (lol, i got bored and couldn't think of a name for the place) in his own private train that was around 25 or more cars linked together. He too was dressed in the same style as Richie, black clothes, some jewelry, and a long sword with a blade that had curves. A small kanji for hawk was tattooed on his left cheek. The men were in a privet car, which was the last car. Horus had spotted them wandering in town, but what really caught his eye was the passed out Luna. He merely gave a curt nod, Luna laid on a bed made of hay.
"There is no way to cure her in the place and state we are in now. She will wake up, but she won't be the Luna you once knew" Horus spoke with the Arabian accent, he examined at the black arrow closely. "When, exactally, was she struck in the back with this?"
"Three days ago." the now calming down Sanji answered. They saw Luna's nose and ears twitch. "Luna-chan, are you okey?"
Luna gave a weak smile and nodded, Matt frowned,"That's new." Her eyes never glistened like they were supposed to, even Chopper noted this.
"As I had said moments ago. Due to fact she's part beast, the poison will not kill her as fast, but it will if we don't treat it within 9 days or less. I sence her spirit remains intact. All she needs is an encouragement."
"What you're saying is that she has a mental issue?" Chopper asked, he nodded yes. "That's not easy to cure."
"I know. Perhaps you young men can help her now. We must part-" he got up and was about to leave, but Tsuki held his sleeve.
"Wait, don't you wanna know how she got the poison in the first place?" Tsuki asked.
"Do tell shinigami." Horus sat back down. "Those who strongly believe in the gods are able to see them."
"That explains why you tossed an apple to me..."
"Offerings give luck."
After explaining what happened and how they got to where they were, the wanderer nodded at the end as a show of understanding. There was a long silence for a while before he spoke again,"So...it is all fiting together. Prince Yume has returned from exile."
"Yume, that crap-guy who tried to marry Luna-chan?!" asked Sanji, who nearly chocked on his cigerette.. "That means that Becky's dream land is real."
"Rebecca...what Devil Fruit has she eaten?"
"Yume Yume no Mi, dream dream fruit."
"When that particular fruit is eaten, Prince Yume comes to this country with that person to reclaim everything we, as in me and my people, had taken from him."
"We don't get what you're saying." Richie said. "Maybe you can explain it over dinner?"
"Yes, that would be better. You had givin me crucial information, and I shall give you my knowlage in return. As of now, I must attend a meeting up front." and with that, he stepped out through the back door and walked away. Sanji sat out back from a smoke while Chopper tried to speak to Luna. Tsuki settled himself in a bench that was nailed against the wall, along with Matt. Richie took a handful of hay from Luna's temporary bed and fed Pip, the goat munched on it happily.
"ALL ABOARD!"
The train started to move slowly as the whistle blew hard, it gradually picked up speed. Soon enough, they were going 23mph on the rails, Sanji came in.
"Looks like we'll be traveling with that Horus guy." he stood next to Luna and placed his left hand on her mouth. He elt her lips quiver on his skin before she opened them, her tongue snaked out and licked his hand in a single stroke. Sanji gave a smile and sat next to her, she wrapped her arm on his and placed her head on his shoulder. Horus entered from the fount door of the car. "Is there any way to bring back to normal?"
"Well, she'll stay in this state for a long while. No matter what you folks do, she'll still die in 9 days...but there is a single cure. It is known as phoenix tears, tears of a phoenix that has cried.There is a fountain that contains it, and that fountain is our destination, and hopefully our enemy's too."
"If Luna drinks from that thing, she'll be cured?" Matt asked hopefully. Horus settled himself on a chair.
"Yes." he pointed to a map of the entire country. It looked faded, but it was readable. "Earlier, we were stationed at a sea port to the south, now we're heading northeast, to the Phoenix Fountain. Do you kids know how too fight?"
"Hell yeah, we're part of the Straw Hat Crew." Chopper exclaimed.
"No, I mean fight the Sand Creatures. The only way to slay them...is to cut off their head with a blade."
"There's a problem with that, me and Luna-chan don't use our hands in battle." Sanji said. "Can't we kick thir heads off?"
"That's not possible. I suppose I have a weapon for you two though, for Red Leg fighters..."
(Anyplace)
Yume and his prisoners eventually reached a dead end. The prince took out his sword and stabbed the wall once, sparks flew before th wall opened itself like a door. Light blinded htem as htey tried to see what laid behind the stone door...
(Anymintue)
"What's your answer, captain-san?" Robin asked, even her tone was a bit dark. Everyone turned to him as Luffy took a deep breath before answering...
Gee what does Horus have for Sanji and Luna?
What the hell's behind the door?
And what will Luffy say?!
Review, I command you to.
(if I get five or more reviews, I'll write more!)
