"ZORO!" Luffy cried out.
Sanji started at the sight in the flames. Snow glimmered from under the swordsman's body as he bleed, staining the ground red. The huge gash in his side was visible as he panted, his breath clouding in the air. Sanji could not help but gape at the scene. Zoro, who always seemed so strong, was now so weak, so beaten.
The fire flickered as everyone stared. Even Robin woke up at Luffy's shout. Chopper's eyes widened in shock. A deathly silence fell over everyone. With a snap, the fire converted back to the tamed red flames they should have been, no more images of a wounded swordsman remained. It seemed surreal, as if they had never even seen the disturbing image.
Lighting a cigarette, Sanji contemplated what he had seen. He did not even know if he had seen it in the first place. But his shaking hands and the stillness of everyone said otherwise. Sighing deeply he watched the fire burn. A bird sang in the distance as the sun began to peak above the treetops. The sound was unnatural; it did not belong in their setting.
Robin hesitantly opened her mouth, "Cook-sama, do you know how that image happened?"
He scratched his head, "Well, I was tossing in some poisonous plants into the fire. It just happened suddenly."
"Do it again," Chopper quietly prompted.
Sanji glanced at Luffy as he reached for the mysterious plant. Luffy was still as a statue, unblinkingly looking at the flames. His eyes were large with pain and hurt. Mouth suddenly moving, he whispered, "Ace…Zoro…why?" his hands clawing at his head.
Sanji was startled by Luffy's sudden out of character behavior. He ground his teeth and turned to Chopper, "Help sniff out the last plant we threw into the fire. I think that is the one we would need."
Hastily, Chopper sat by the pile. Robin glanced at Luffy. Their captain seemed to had suddenly remembered something devastating. "Oi, Luffy," Sanji started, "Zoro's not dead yet. We're going to see if we can find out more about him."
Luffy looked up. Slowly, he rubbed his eyes and sighed, "You're right Sanji."
"Sanji, I found it."
He looked down at the reindeer. It was holding out a plant while shifting around in the pile for more. Sanji quickly took the plant and tossed it into the fire. It crackled to life, bursting into the green flames they were. However, this time, there was something different.
\OwO/
He could feel himself being hoisted into the air. The wind nipped at him and stung his wounds. Shivering in the cold, Zoro could feel the warmth of another body as it carried him. Whistling a fine tune, the person clambered over rocks, their shoes crunching in the snow. Suddenly the whistling stopped with the walking.
"Oh no. It's snowing again. Better get back to the lab before Anka-sensei gets angry at me for being caught in another blizzard," the female voice paused, "This one looks cold. I hope I have a tablet."
A strong snap rang in the air as the howling wind blew harder with soft flakes of snow. The mysterious person popped a pill into her mouth and swallowed. A warm gust enveloped the two and pushed them down the mountain.
Several minutes later, they came to a stop before a looming castle-like building. She knocked on the great door.
"Lock! Let us in!"
\OwO/
Screaming. Shouting. Stomping.
God, make it shut up. Zoro's mind was foggy. He sneezed and snapped awake.
He immediately noticed the change in scenery. He was in a room. And it was huge, large enough to almost seem to be hall. Beds and machinery filled the space. Sparkling light shifted in from the colored glass ceiling. Odd how the glass colors seemed to be moving and changing color. He was also lying on soft, plush bed. A soft beeping and humming came from nearby machines. He also noticed the strange conversation.
"I thought I made it clear. DON'T BRING IN RANDOM PEOPLE! Especially if you find them in the middle of nowhere!"
"But he was hurt! And there was a blizzard starting!"
"No dur! The glass ceilings don't lie unless you feel like pulling a prank on us!"
"Why would I?"
"I can't believe you fixed his wounds!"
"They were really bad! Why do you keep changing the topic?" Another stomp.
"Of course they were! I don't make mistakes when I fight!"
"Ah! Why were you guys fighting again?"
"'Cus they're the enemy."
"DOES IT LOOK LIKE THEY KNOW ILLUSIONIST MAGIC? DOESN'T ANKA-SAMA MAKE IT CLEAR? 'No fight people who don't know illusionist magic' These people clearly don't know illusionist magic. This is why you guys are beat up!" More crazy stomping as the girl's voice got shriller and shriller. Forget conversation, this was more like an argument.
However, What magic? Zoro coughed and sat up. What that female voice said was right, Zoro's body was completely healed from the resent scrape. But it felt bad being fixed by someone on the opposing side. He looked up at two staring faces and yelped in surprise.
The resemblance was uncanny. Too uncanny for his liking. A boy and a girl looked questioningly at him. They both appear younger than Zoro. The boy's bright blue hair was a similar hue to Franky's hair color. It was also slicked back slightly like Zoro's hair. This was definitely the kid he was fighting when the crew reached the island. But the girl…
Her bright blond bangs hung over the right side of her face. The rest was loosely tied back and even seemed to flout in the air a little. The sea blue eye seemed large and innocent, but great pain could be seen. Her clothing was formal yet, odd. Pants and a neat blouse and vest, even with combat boots tapping the ground to top it off. Her whole form was uncannily like a female version of Sanji.
"You know it's not nice to just sit there and stare like an idiot," the boy paused, "Can you even hear me or are you really an idiot?"
"Shut up Lock!" the girl punched the guy Zoro could presume to be Lock.
He glared and nursed his bruising head, "What the hell was that for Hain?"
"Learn you're manners when you're talking to a lady Blue."
"Give you're elders some respect shrimp!"
"Shut up lost guy."
"Oh that is it. I'm chucking you out the window, misfit."
"Say what?"
Zoro could not help but to sweatdrop. These guys act just like me and that baka-cook. He mused.
"Hey cook."
The two kids whipped around and blinked. Cook?
Zoro slapped his head. The words left his mouth without thinking. Oh great what did I do this time? He sighed and looked up.
"Can I leave here? I want to find the crew. That crazy wind blew us everywhere," Zoro commented.
The boy shot a glare at the girl, "I remember that wind. Why were you flying through that area?"
"I was looking for some of that visual plant," she mumbled, "You know, the poisonous one."
They were ignoring Zoro again. Their behavior was annoying. And they had odd names, Lock and Hain? What kind of names are those? Zoro swung he legs off the bed. As he stood he felt an emptiness by his side. Looking down, he noted that his swords were missing. "Where are my swords?"
They both opened their mouths at the same time, "No unauthorized weapons allowed in the facility, especially weapons made outside of the facility building until further notice from Anka-sama."
Lock drew out two katana as Hain stared in shock, "In short, I smuggled them in. Never know when you need them."
Zoro and Hain sweatdropped. How ridiculous were Lock's actions. "Okay then, I'll just-"
"Hand them over."
About our girl Hain here, I made her up several years ago before I even knew about the different mangas I love today. So basicly, she was NOT modeled after Sanji.
