A/N: I know that last chapter was crap but this one's better... I hope...
Chapter 2: Getting to Know You
Umi… now dressed in her robes was tapping her foot impatiently… she was angry… very angry… Cloud warned the Straw Hats and the Pokemon trainers don't talk to her, don't make eye contact with her… don't hit on her… which Sanji and Brock disobeyed. Both were on the ground unconscious.
"Why did she do that to them?" asked Luffy.
"Because she's like that when she's angry…" said Cloud.
"She's that angry?" asked Misty.
"Well to be honest… all the time…" said Cloud.
A portal opened up, Terra, Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke and Kakashi exited.
"I can't believe the Hokage made this a mission…" said Sakura.
"TERRA! WHERE WERE YOU! YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE HERE AN HOUR AGO!" yelled Umi with her head big towards Terra.
Cloud ran over to her fellow Guardian… and restrained her.
"Calm down… you know its not her fault…" said Cloud.
"You're more angry about the paper air plane…" said Terra.
Naruto tapped her shoulder, "Who are they?" asked Naruto.
"That's Umi and Cloud my fellow guardians…" said Terra.
"Why you Terra… Cloud let me go, let me go!" said Umi.
"Fine I'll tell you why we're late…" said Terra.
There was an awkward silence... "Well where's the flashback?" asked Umi with her eye twitching.
"I don't need one… time for…" said Terra, "Terra's Annoying as Hell Puppet Time Theater!"
Terra took out 5 poorly made Popsicle stick puppets… one looked like herself, Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke and Kakashi, as everyone who was concouis watched.
"You have to come with me to save the princess." said the Terra puppet.
"Sure okay…" said the Naruto puppet.
"Your friends can come as well…" said the Terra puppet.
"No way am I coming with you called me a cross dresser…" said the Sasuke puppet
"I didn't say that…" said Sasuke.
"I'm not going ether because you called Darling Sasuke a cross dresser." said the Sakura puppet.
"Hey I didn't say that…" said Sakura "That girl is going to pay time!" screamed out Inner Sakura.
"We should turn in our mission report and talk to Lord Hokage first." said the Kakashi puppet.
"Walking, walking, walking, walking, walking, walking, walking, walking." said Terra apparently simulating walking.
Terra took out a Hokage puppet, much like the other puppets it was a poorly made stick puppet.
"Oh lord Hokage… can you make a mission of saving my princess?" asked the Terra puppet.
"Sure okay…" said the Hokage puppet.
"Yay!" said the other puppets.
"The end…" said Terra.
There was an awkward silence then Zoro broke the silence by saying. "What the hell was that?"
"It was what happened…" said Terra.
"No it wasn't you had to convince Lord Hokage to make this a mission and Sasuke and I didn't say those things…" said Sakura.
"That's not how I remember it…" said Terra.
"Don't mind her she's like that all the time… can you let me go Cloud…" said Umi.
Cloud let her but restrained her a second later.
"I'm going to get you back for that paper air plane… I swear…" said Umi.
"Riiiight…" said Terra.
Everyone ignored the guardians who were working their own things out… which appeared to be Cloud restraining Umi while Terra egged her on... Ash and Luffy who had talked during the missing hour had become fast friends, Naruto joined in the conversation. Nami and Misty watch the two guys who were unconscious waiting for them to wake up they were joined by Sakura who asked what happened to them.
"Well it happened like this…" said Misty with a sweat drop.
(Flashback)
Umi was fuming, over Terra.
"Ground rules… with Umi's this angry don't talk to her... don't make contact with her and most importantly…" said Cloud.
However two weren't scared of her… Sanji and Brock… both had identical expressions hearts in their eyes. Both skipped to her.
"Weird… same expression…" said Usopp.
"This is going to end badly…" said Cloud.
"What do you mean?" asked Luffy.
"Hello beautiful!" said Sanji.
Umi+ Angry+ Guy hitting on her Ice Fist… a move in which ice coats one of her fists, and she socked Sanji… Brock was about to flirt with her too but they looked into each other's eyes… and then sock her two… both were knocked out.
"Never mess with Umi when she's like this…" said Cloud.
Everyone nodded in agreement… because she was scary… very scary.
(End of Flashback)
"Oh…" said Sakura with a sweat drop.
Kakashi was reading Make-Out Paradise, Zoro slept, Sasuke just stood there, Usopp walked over to him wanting to make conversation by telling him stories, as a 12 year old he'd probably by… at the very least like them…
"Hey…" said Usopp.
"What?" asked Sasuke giving him a glare.
"Nothing…" said Usopp… this kid was scary… but less scary then Umi… who appeared to be trying to claw at Terra.
Sasuke walked away, Kakashi looked up from his book and said "Don't mind him, he's like that all time…" then turned back to it.
Back with the girls and the two unconscious guys, both began to wake up.
"My head…" said Sanji.
What happened?" asked Brock.
"Next time… listen to the rules…" said Misty.
Umi was finally calm…
"Okay I'm calm!" said Umi.
"Positive?" said Cloud.
"Yes…" said Umi.
Cloud let Umi go and she didn't attack a certain Guardian over Land but she did mouth "I will get you back" Terra mouthed "Nah uh…"
Umi cleared her throat, "Okay… may I have your attention please…" said Umi.
"Will the real Slim Shady please stand up?" continued Terra.
Umi gave her a glare.
"Anyways… I thought maybe we introduce yourselves to everyone…" said Umi.
Awkward silence…
"So what should we say?" asked Ash.
"Just your name…" said Terra, "Like I'm Terra…"
"I'm Umi" said Umi.
"I'm Cloud." said Cloud.
"I'm Luffy!" yelled Luffy.
"I'm Naruto!" yelled Naruto.
"I'm Ash, and this is Pikachu!" said Ash.
"Pikachu!" said Pikachu (Translation: Hello there!)
"I'm the Great Captain Usopp!" yelled Usopp.
Nami slapped him on the back of the head.
"He's not the captain, Luffy and I'm Nami by the way." She said.
"Uchiha Sasuke…" said Sasuke with his scowl.
"Roronoa Zoro…" said Zoro.
"I'm Misty" said Misty.
"Hi, my name is Haruno Sakura." said Sakura.
"The name's Sanji." said Sanji.
"I'm Brock." said Brock.
"Hatake Kakashi." said Kakashi.
"Since we know each other names time for the tour!" yelled out Terra.
3 grumbling sounds were heard.
"Can we eat first?" asked Luffy.
"But first the tour!" said Terra.
"I say the water heater…" said Cloud.
"No way the inflatable duckie is where one of them will finally snap…" said Umi.
And so Terra began to show everyone around…
"This is the hall where all the bed rooms are at…" said Terra walking everyone thought hallway with man doors.
"This is the dinning room, later we'll have dinner here…" said Terra showing them the dinning room with a lard table.
"So hungry…" thought Ash, Naruto and Luffy with their stomachs growling.
"This is the training ground, anyone can use it as they wish…" said Terra.
Then things got a little weird….
"This is the boxes in the garage… this is where we keep stuff we're not using" said Terra… showing them the boxes in the garage.
"This is my inflatable duckie… its best friend…" said Terra.
"So I was wrong… you might be too…" said Umi to Cloud.
"This the water heater, where the water is heated for the baths and showers and such,…" said Terra showing them the water heater.
Naruto finally yelled out "Will please stop showing us pointless thing and get on with dinner!"
"I'm hungry…" whined Ash.
"Me too…" said Luffy.
Cloud held out her hand and Umi took out a gold coin and gave it to her.
"What was the point of her showing us all that?" asked Zoro.
"Who knows…" responded Sakura.
They got to the dinning room, there was a lot of food…
"Look at all the meat!" said Luffy.
"There's ramen!" said Naruto.
"Food…" said Ash.
The three knights ran towards the table at full speed… Luffy began shoving meat down his throat, Naruto ate as much ramen as possible and Ash ate whatever… all of them had seen their friend's eating habits… but this was insane... everyone stood there not believing their eyes.. or eye in the case of Sanji and Kakashi.
Umi sighed "Great all three of them think with the stomach…" said Umi.
"Their boys… that what they do…" said Cloud.
And so everyone sat down and began to eat… and make conversation while they ate…
"Then I defeated the dragon and rescued the entire kingdom…" said Usopp.
"That's nice can you the stake sauce…" said Misty not really paying attention the story.
Another part of the table everyone was looking at Kakashi, wondering how the hell he ate with his mask on…
Where the three knights were they started up an eating contest, someone would eat something, then someone would eat the same volume of something else for example Ash would eat a whole plate of sandwiches and then Naruto would do the same with a similar amount of ramen then Luffy would do the same with meat. Pikachu acted as judge, even though Ash is his best friend he sometimes has to call the matches in favor of the other two to be fair... in the end Luffy won it all…
"I can't believe I ate the whole thing…" said Ash.
"You boys want desert?" asked a maid who worked in the castle that they were at.
All of them snapped back to eating thanks to the magical D-word…. Desert. After everyone finished eating all three of them couldn't move because so much.
"So who's going to carry them to their rooms?" asked Umi.
"Zoro…" said Nami.
"What why me?" asked Zoro.
Nami gave him a glare as he had to drag his captain… who was bloated, 12 year and 10 year old to three separate rooms while not getting lost, Pikachu accompanied him… who actually remember where the rooms were… unlike a certain green harried swords man…
Later some went to bed others stayed up… the three guardians held a meeting in Umi's room… well it should have been Cloud was playing a video game and Terra… well she was being Terra…
"Now… can we please start talking about this…" said Umi.
"No!" aid Terra, "Unless Cloud starts…"
"Mwa ha ha ha! The hunter has become the hunted…" said Cloud.
Umi grabbed the game boy and turned it off.
"We need to talk about this…" said Umi.
"Fine…" sighed Cloud.
"Anyways I think tomorrow morning we should train those three by teaching them how to use their powers…" said Umi.
"She's right… after all they need them if we can rescue Lila." said Cloud.
"Fine…" said Terra.
"Can I have my game boy back… that was the meeting all about…" said Cloud.
"Fine…" said Umi.
Umi handed the game boy and Cloud began to play again.
"You should really stop playing videogames all the time…" said Umi.
"I'll stop if you work on your temper…" said Cloud.
"I'll only work on it if Miss Annoying will stop being so annoying…" said Umi.
"Well I'll work on that only if Cloud stops playing video games so much…" said Terra.
"You don't have a problem with Cloud's video addiction…" said Umi.
"Exactly…" said Terra.
Umi sighed.
The next morning Umi and Cloud woke up Luffy and Ash… Terra… she opened everyone's bedroom doors quietly then began to wake up Naruto… she a pot and a metal spoon and proceeded to wake up everyone.
"Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!" she yelled waking almost everyone up with loud banging.
Umi managed to drag her out by the color of the shirt she was wearing. While Cloud, Ash, Luffy and Pikachu watched, while everyone got up groggily.
"Sorry, everyone can go back to sleep except you Naruto… you need to come with us…" said Cloud.
Naruto shrugged and followed them.
Most went back to sleep others didn't, Brock and Sanji whop went to dinning room were among the few. The fact that they usually get up to cook its kind of hard to get to sleep.
"Can't go back to sleep ether?" asked Brock.
"Nope…" said Sanji.
"Is it me or is Terra annoying everyone on purpose." said Brock.
"She is…" said a voice.
One of the maids was in the room, "sorry I didn't know you were awake…" she said.
"What do you mean?" asked Brock.
"Oh its nothing…" said the maid getting out a pot of tea, and left it on the table for the. She began to leave the room then ran back in yelling out "I can't leave it in anymore… I have to tell one of you!"
"Okaay…" said Sanji.
"You see this generation of Guardians are unique… very unique…" said Maid, "You see usually the new Princess takes her duties at the age of 20… and her Guardian's take the duty at whatever age they are when she turns 20… you see Princess Lila is 15… Lady Umi should have been 22, Lady Terra 17 and Lady Cloud 15… however the late Prince Mia died when the Princess was just 7… meaning that the girls had to become the Guardian's at much younger ages… 13 years than they were meant to… all three of them are emotionally unstable in some way… Lady Umi is always stressed out and she had developed quite a temper… also every single man who hits on her is dubbed a pervert by her tastes…" said the maid.
"So that's why…" said Sanji.
"Go on…" said Brock.
"Lady Terra doesn't want to grow up… but she was forced to at the age of 5, she never acts serious and always purposely annoys people… particularly Lady Umi… because of her temper… Lady Cloud… well um… you see Lady Cloud was forced to mature when she barely knew any words… ironically… the only problem she has developed quite a video game addiction…" said the maid.
Both of them sweatdroped.
"So your saying Cloud is the least messed up out of all them?" asked Sanji.
"Not exactly… she constantly has to act mediator for the fights in between Lady Umi and Lady Terra… it causes much stress for her and makes her Video game addiction worse…" said the maid, "Don't hold it agaisnt them when they act like that even though I did hear Lady Umi did sock both of you in the head…"
"Yeah…" said Brock laughing nervously.
Meanwhile on one part of the training ground targets were set up. Luffy, Ash and Pikachu were half-asleep while Naruto was awake being used to getting up this early in the morning.
"Okay, we need to train your powers…" said Umi.
"What powers?" asked Ash yawning.
"Remember yester when you were glowing those were your elemental powers, each of you have elemental Powers me and Ash have powers over Lighting and Wind, Luffy and Umi have powers over Water and Ice and Naruto and Terra have power over Fire and Earth… we'll be showing you basic attacks to get you started on using your powers… the first basic step is the elemental arrow." said Cloud.
"I'll go first!" said Terra, she held out her hand pointing it at the target, with her other hand made a motion like shooting an arrow a fiery arrow appeared and then shot at one of the targets setting it on fire, this also woke the three that were half asleep to wake up.
"Whoa…" said Ash.
"Cool!" said Luffy.
"Pika…" said Pikachu (Translation: Wow…)
"Okay, Now I need each of you to try that… except Luffy you need to say Freeze Arrow and Ash need to say Thunder Arrow!" said Cloud.
"Can I go first?" asked Ash.
"Of course…" said Cloud.
Pikachu hopped off of Ash's shoulder and Ash remember the movements that Terra.
"Thunder Arrow!" he said.
He shot a yellow arrow made of lighting at the target.
"I did that?" said Ash.
"Good job…" said Cloud., "Unlike the others we can't tell if it was effective unless you use it on an opponent… but it looks like it!"
"All right my turn!" said Naruto. He did the same motion, "Flame Arrow" he hit the target as well but unlike when Terra it did not set the entire target on fire but did burn the target quite a bit.
"Hey it was weaker than yours…" said Naruto.
"That's because you're a beginner I've been doing this since I was 5…" said Terra.
"Looks like its my turn!" said Luffy.
Luffy did the same movements "Freeze Arrow" he shot an arrow of ice but… he missed the target… in fact he missed it so much there a crash sound an everyone clearly hared a cat screech.
"Um… maybe you should try again…" said Umi.
Luffy tried again and missed again…
Meanwhile elsewhere on the training field Sasuke was training by himself. He bent over to pick up a Kunai… he felt some thing pinch his but then his entire butt went numb. He turned around and saw his entire butt was covered in ice.
"What the hell…" he said… shocked.
He deiced to try to find someone who might explain what happened to his butt.
Back wit the Guardians and Knights with Pikachu of course Luffy tried again and missed again however it hit the ground right beside the target and it froze the ground in a circle two feet in diameter.
"Wow Luffy… that's good for beginner… I mean the diameter of the frozen point… not your marksmanship…" said Umi.
"That's why Usopp's the shaper shooter…" said Luffy sheepishly.
"Excuse me…" said Sasuke.
"Oh hey cross dresser…" said Terra.
Sasuke ignored, "Can someone tell why my butt's frozen." said Sasuke.
Both Terra and Naruto broke out laughing…
"Sasuke froze his ass off!" laughed Naruto.
Next Time: after explaining the situation better they give another tour this time of the area around the castle... however they wind up in a fight with some of those monsters... can Luffy, Ash and Naruto use their new powers to defeat them?Next time.
A/N: I don't know why… but I've meaning to do a joke for the longest time in which someone explains something with puppets... yes Terra will do on occasion... also I have to deiced if there will be a flashback to what really happened with Hokage...
