Chapter 3: Someone's After Emma
(Emma's POV)
I was alone in a dark room… it was like nothingness… I had no idea where I was or anything. I was in my Pretty Emma uniform. Then the voices came.
"You are the one!"
"You must go!"
"You must come with us!"
"You must die!"
"You must live!"
"What's going on?" I cried out.
Then I woke up… I was on the couch and I looked around, I grabbed my glasses and put them on.
"It was all a dream…" I said, then I sighed.
I didn't want to have that dream again so I decided not to go back to sleep. I left for the deck quietly as to not wake up Nami or Kinky…
I sat down on one of the stairs and looked up at the sky…
"Pretty…" I said. I rarely ever saw the stars… only at MDA camp and the planetarium (which is currently being renovated)… hey that's what happens when you live in the city.
I began to sing Soko ni Sora ga Aru Kara quietly.
"Hey!" called a voice.
I looked up at the crow's nest and Usopp was in there it was his turn for watch.
"Hey Usopp!" I said back, "Want some company?"
"Sure…" he said.
I climbed up to the Crow's Nest.
"Can't sleep?" he asked.
"I can… you know I can go back to sleep…" I said.
"Oh yeah Swablu, Igglybuff Roseila…" said Usopp trying to suppress a laugh especially what happened recently...
(Flashback)
I gave cotton balls to Usopp and Luffy, two each... I had a pair myself, we all put them in our ears. Igglybuff ran behind Zoro who was training… Igglybuff used sing and Zoro feel asleep like a baby… we could have done when he was actually asleep but this sleep's deeper. Because of the cotton balls the attack didn't effect us.
"Time for faze two…" I said.
We all had markers, all 3 of us ran up to Zoro and began to draw on his face... that's right we pulled a Jigglypuff
(End of Flashback)
"I just didn't want to… I had a weird nightmare…" I said, "I'm not the type to get nightmares…"
It's true, I haven't had nightmares since when I was like 12… I blame anime… by which I mean scary nightmares… sad night mares are different
"Your not?" asked Usopp.
"Nope… not for years…" I said.
"What was it about…" asked Usopp.
I shivered just thinking about it, "I don't know it… was creepy… very creepy…" I knew I looked pale… I was also shaking a lot…
Usopp changed the subject by telling me one of his stories (lies) that got it off my mind. It helped me a lot.
(3rd Person POV)
The next day they landed on an island, Luffy ran away to explore, while Sanji went to buy supplies.
"I need some alone time…" said Emma going off to explore as well.
"Okay…" said Zoro.
"I'm coming too!" said Kinky.
"No…" said Emma.
"Why?" whined Kinky.
"I said I need alone time…" said Emma.
"Then why do the Pokemon come?" asked Kinky.
"Because I trust them more than you…" said Emma.
"Too bad I'm coming…" said Kinky.
"I have my ways to make you stay… come on out Dragonair, Azumarill Swablu!"
All 3 Pokemon came out, "Use your Ice Beam on Kinky!" said Emma.
All three Pokemon shot out a blue beam that hit Kinky… freezing her into a giant ice cube.
"That shut her up…" said Zoro.
"I'll back soon… bye!" said Emma after returning her Pokemon.
She climbed off the boat and went to explore… it was a city so there was plenty for her to do.
(Emma's POV)
I checked my Inu-Yasha wallet… it was still there good… I needed some clothes and also a snack so I checked how much I had… there were hundreds of thousands of Berries.
"Lucky…" I said cheerfully especially since I didn't have much cash on me when I came to this world… must have been like the Pokemon appeared when I came.
I looked around to what sort of food places they had then I saw it…
"Takoyaki!" I said happily.
Takoyaki… Octopus Ball, Octopus Puffs, Octopus Dumplings… what ever you call them they are delicious… I know they have green onions but I ignore that… they are so good plus there's the fact I rarely ever have them... I ordered a plate of 24 from the stand… I was really hungry. I sat down on a nearby bench and happily ate them.
(3rd person POV)
While Emma ate her Takoyaki a young man wearing sunglasses with jet black hair wearing a white t-shirt and jeans noticed her.
"She must be the one…" he thought.
He walked over to her.
"Excuse me?" he asked her.
Emma swallowed a Takoyaki and holding the tooth pick her mouth. "Yeah?" she said.
"Um… Are you from around here cause I never seen you before…" said the man.
"No I'm not from the island…" said Emma as she ate another one.
"What about this world…" he asked.
Emma stopped, "What?" she said.
"Are you from this world…" he said.
"What would make you think that?" she asked.
"Just a hunch…" he said as he grabbed her by the wrist.
"What are you doing?" she cried.
"You're coming with me!" he yelled.
She managed to grabbed one of the used toothpicks and jab him with it… then she ran away.
"You're not going to get away so easily" He said adjusting his sunglasses.
(Emma's POV)
Okay… this is bad… I haven't even told the Straw Hats yet… very bad…
I ran into an alleyway… I sighed, "How did he know?" I asked no one in particular.
"Know what!" yelled a familiar voice.
I closed my eyes and punch the person… I realized who it was.
"Sorry Luffy…" I said with a sweat drop.
"Why did you punch me?" yelled Luffy.
"Someone's chasing me… Luffy I need to tell you something…" I said.
"Too late!" the man seemly appeared from nowhere and grabbed my wrist again, "You're coming with me… whether you like it not…"
"Gum Gum Pistol!" shouted Luffy as he punched the guy in the face.
The guy let go of me… I didn't know but something told to transform to Pretty Emma. After the minute long transformation… for some bizarre reason the guy didn't attack… it looked like he was eating a snack… so that's what villains do when Magical Girls transform…
Afterwards he turned his attention to me like nothing happen… he smiled "That proves you are the one…" he said.
He reached from something in his pocket it looked like a small metal tube… then he pressed a button. And it was…
"A light saber?" I thought with a sweat drop… I know they are dangerous… but this isn't Star Wars… or to a lesser extent Tenchi Muyo.
"What is that?" asked Luffy.
"A light saber…" said the man he it to cut a piece of metal in half.
"That's bad… really bad…" I said then I got an idea, "Swablu I choose you!"
The blue cotton bird came out, "Use Haze!" I said.
A black could came out Swablu's beak… Me, Luffy and Swablu who perched on my head ran away.
"What's going on?" asked Luffy.
"All I know he's after me I don't know why… but he also knows where I'm from…" I said.
"What do you mean?" asked Luffy.
"I'm not fro…" I said but the guy cut me off when he grabbed me again.
"Like I said you're no going anywhere…" he said his grip was extremely tight, I couldn't help but to let out a scream…
He turned to Luffy and Swablu. "Either of you do anything I don't know what I'm going to do to her…" he said.
Somehow I knew he was bluffing… but Luffy… I doubt he knew.
(3rd person POV)
Sanji had just finished most of the shopping when he heard a woman's scream. He knew a woman was in danger so he ran towards it. He saw the man holding Pretty Emma's wrist. He also heard the threat he told Luffy and Swablu… he also someone how knew it was bluff. Sanji put the groceries down and ran towards the man and kicked him from behind the man let go of both Pretty Emma and his Light saber. Pretty Emma ran behind Luffy.
"Thanks Sanji!" said Pretty Emma.
"It was my pleasure…" said Sanji with a heart replacing his visible eye.
Pretty Emma sweatdroped she shook it off and said "Swablu!"
Swablu knew what Pretty Emma wanted, it grabbed the Light saber and gave it to Pretty Emma. She pressed the button to deactivate it.
The man got up, "You think I can't get it back… I'm a master of the…" said Man.
"The Force…" said Pretty Emma.
"No… the Schwartz!" said the man.
Pretty Emma anime fell.
"I don't get it…" said Luffy.
"Neither do I…" said Sanji.
"I'll explain to you later… maybe" said Pretty Emma getting up "How does he know these things… or at least those jokes?" she thought.
"I'm only kidding… I don't know either… I just happen to have a light saber…" said the man.
"Why are you after me!" yelled Pretty Emma.
The man smirked "Fine I'll tell you… there are people after you… some want you alive… some dead… I'm not going to say why… but they just do… I'm from a group that wants you alive but we also want to kidnap you… I know when my chips are down so I won't kidnap you… this time… can I have my Light Saber back?" he asked.
"Fine…" said Pretty Emma.
She tossed it back to him and he left, "See again Emma Margaret Iveli…" he said.
(Emma's POV)
I gritted my teeth "How does he know these things…" I thought.
"Wait Emma I thought your surname is Iveli…" said Luffy.
"It is… just where I come from the given names are first and the surnames are last." I said.
I sighed… "Look there's something I need to talk to you about… but first… I think the rabbit's hiding something…" I said.
"What?" asked Luffy.
"Just a feeling I have…" I said.
(Kinky's POV)
I was frozen… damn that's smarts… I saw everything but was a blur then I saw an orangey blur it began to get warmer and warmer… then I was on fire… literary… I saw the foxy Pokemon… with Emma, the Love Cook and the Straw Hat kid.
"Kinky are you hiding something…" said Emma.
"No…" I said.
"Are you sure I thought you might know something… like why I just had a kidnap attempted on me…" said Emma.
I didn't know what to do… so I yelled "You can't catch me! I'm the gingerbread man!" and ran away… or so I tried… my feet were still frozen… damn it…
"Fine I'll tell" I said, "There are people after to kidnap you and kill you… that's all I know unfortunately…"
"Didn't you say there wasn't any threats?" said the Straw Hat kid.
"Well not any real threats, there's no one trying to take over the world by stealing energy, pure hearts, dream mirrors, love waves, sprits or soul gems so technically I was right…" I said.
"But wouldn't people trying to kill and kidnap me constitute as a threat?" asked Emma.
"In theory… I said.
I could tell it took everything for Emma to not attack me… Mwa ha ha ha! Like that would work anyways…
"Um… do you know why?" asked Emma.
"Because where you're from…" I said, yes I know Emma's not from this world… I just hid from her… maybe I should have blackmailed her too… meh… she would have gotten around to telling them anyways…
(Emma's POV)
Kinky knew… I wonder if she knows back home I created her… either way I had to tell them the truth.
"Luffy… Sanji… we need a meeting…" I said.
"Why?" asked Luffy.
"I need to tell you something important…" I said quietly.
"What?" asked Luffy.
"It's just really important…" I said.
(3rd Person POV)
Not too long later there was a meeting in the galley, Emma was quiet.
"I have something to yell you that's pretty unbelievable…" said Emma.
"What?" asked Nami.
"I'm from another world…" said Emma.
The Straw Hats gasped.
"Are you serous?" asked Nami.
Emma nodded, "I was just minding my own business then I was suck though a portal…" said Emma.
There was a silence then Luffy asked "Why didn't you tell us before?"
"Because… I don't know… I just couldn't…" said Emma, "Now there's people who to kidnap me because I'm from another world and some want to kill me…"
Emma got up and began to leave.
"Where are you going?" asked Luffy.
"I should go... I should leave… the crew… you probably don't want me around anymore anyways…" said Emma.
"Well too bad your staying…" said Luffy.
"What?" said Emma.
"Your one of us now… and you're not leaving…" said Luffy.
"Luffy's right…" said Nami.
"Just because your from another world doesn't mean we think any different of you…" said Usopp.
"Thanks…" said Emma quietly.
Sanji grabbed Emma hand with his heart for his eye before he could say anything Emma said "I should point out back in my world I have a boyfriend…"
Sanji went to sulk in a corner… Emma sighed then let out a small giggle.
"Fine I'll stay… however if there's a chance for me to go back you'll let me go…" said Emma.
"Okay…" said Luffy.
(Emma's POV)
While I did tell them the truth about me being from another world I couldn't tell them that both them and Pokemon are factious things in my world… how would they feel… Kinky on the other hand.
"Kinky… there's something I need tell you something…" I said.
"What?" asked Kinky.
"In my world… you see I write stories… and one of the characters I created for those stories was you…" I said.
"Is that true?" asked Nami.
"Yes…" I said with a sweat drop.
Kinky began to bow before me… "All hail Emma my god…" said Kinky.
Everyone in the room sweatdroped in including me.
And so they found out… I'm glad they did… but still there must have been a reason why I was sent here…
Next Time: Uh... are they what I think they are? Those headbands... those clones... those attacks... Ninja? Not just any ninja... missing nin from the Hidden Villages (thought I was going to say Naruto or Team 7... right)... some one hired ninjas to kill me... well with my knowledge of Jutsus, Luffy's willingness to help friends and Stone Ninja's sea sickness we'll be able to beat them... okay I'll say it... Believe it!
