Chapter 4: Team Omega's Ambush, the Straw Hats Are Separated
Everyone had managed to safely return to the Thousand Sunny. Upon returning everyone exchanged the information they had all gathered.
"Well, Zoro and I didn't find out anything." Usopp admitted.
"Yeah because you had to go and get lost." Zoro said.
"I wasn't the lost one, you were! I spent all my time looking for you!" Usopp scolded Zoro.
"Well, me and Franky found out some of the island's history and it sure has a dark one. Apparently at one point there was a time called the Alpha Age and a creature called Black Void destroyed everything and everyone in its path but a hero stopped it using some kind of jewels with the power of the four elements from Inferno Island, tsunami Isle, Earthquake Isle, and Hurricane Island." Robin explained.
"Wait! Did you just say Black Void?" Nami asked.
"Yes. Did you find out anything about it?" Robin asked.
"Yeah. We met this guy at a bar that said he knows the location to where this Black Void is being sealed and that he has been protecting it from the hands of evil. Then these people that call themselves Team Omega showed up wanting to know where Black Void is being located." Nami explained. "But we even have a bigger problem." Nami said.
"What is it?" Usopp asked.
"As you may know since we have been here we've been seeing many different kinds of creatures we've never seen before. But what we have found out is that is even weirder is that no one knows what the Red Line is and has never seen any kind of devil fruit user. So our conclusion is this, somehow we ended up in a different world." Nami said.
"What! How did this happen!" Usopp asked.
"I assume it's from when we entered the pokemist." Robin suggested.
"So… how do we get back?" Franky asked.
"That we don't know." Nami said.
"Well, if that guy you talked to said he is protecting Black Void he is bound to know at least know something of we can get back." Zoro said.
"That doesn't sound like a bad idea, but it's up to Luffy if we go or not. He still is the captain." Nami said as she turned to ask Luffy to see that he was already off the ship running to the bar.
"Oi! Are you guys coming?" Luffy shouted.
"Of course we are!" Nami responded.
Everyone got off the ship and started to follow Luffy back to Byron's bar. Luffy was running past all the places he could remember passing by until at one point he was running down an empty street and crashed right into a something like a brick wall. The only problem is that there wasn't anything there.
"Ow…. What just happened?" Luffy thought out loud.
"Luffy! Are you okay?" Chopper asked.
"Luffy now isn't the time to be goofing around! We need to get more information from Byron. Plus, he could be in danger from Team Omega people." Nami scolded Luffy.
"I think the ones you should be worrying about are yourselves." A man said.
"I know that voice." Sanji said.
"I told you to watch out straw hat because I would show up when you least expect it. Now that it seems that you are all here why don't we have a little fun." Beta said, revealing himself appearing on a rooftop.
"You bastard! I still haven't forgiven you for what you did to Nami!" Luffy yelled. Luffy managed to leap up to Beta on the roof for a chance to hit him. "GOMU GOMU NO GATTILING GUN!" Luffy attacked.
"Mr. Mime! Use barrier!" Beta commanded.
Out of nowhere a white and pink colored mime with navy blue colored hair appeared in front of Beta and did what a normal mime would do, he put his hands up in front of him and acted like there was something in front of him, only this time there was. Luffy's rapid punches were being repelled by the invisible barrier Mr. Mime had now created.
"Why can't I hit you?" Luffy said, still punching.
"Face it, you can't touch me. It's impossible to break Mr. Mime's barrier. This is just the start of what a psychic type can do! Look all around us now straw hat, you can't see it but you and your crew are trapped, surrounded by our barriers!" Beta said.
Luffy stopped attacking and began to look around as he started to see more members of Team Omega appear on the roof tops and in the streets with their Mr. Mimes that were creating barriers around the Straw Hats.
"Creating barriers are not the only thing psychic Pokémon can do. I'll show you their true power." Beta said. "Go! Alakazam!" Beta said as he threw some kind of ball down to the ground where the rest of the Straw Hats were standing.
When the ball opened another strange Pokémon came out. It was in a human like form, it had two spikes like ears that came out of its head, it had a moustache, it was different shades of yellow and brown, but the weirdest thing of all was that in its hands it held one spoon each. Alakazam then disappeared.
"Where did it go?" Chopper asked nervously.
Alakazam then appeared right in front of Chopper, looking straight in to Chopper's now horrified eyes.
"Chopper!" All the Straw Hats shouted.
"Now Alakazam! Use teleport!" Beta commanded.
Alakazam put its hand on Chopper's forehead and there was a big, bright, blue flash of light. Everyone looked away not to be blinded by the light. When the light faded and the smoke cleared up the only thing left standing was Alakazam. Chopper was gone.
"C-Chopper…." Was all Nami could manage to say. She was speechless, all the Straw Hats were.
"Team Omega! Now is our time to redeem ourselves! Today is the day we are going to make a difference in the world, today we summon Black Void!" Beta said.
"Yeah!" The members of Team Omega shouted.
"No, you can't!" Robin shouted.
"Oh? Why not?" Beta questioned.
"If you summon Black Void you will be putting the island and everyone on it in extreme danger. You might even be destroyed in the process." Robin said.
"No, you just don't understand. I don't care about the petty lives of the people living on this island. I'm doing this for the power, the control! I shall become the master of Black Void, it will obey me and once I have control of it Team Omega shall slowly take over this world!" Beta explained. "Now Team Omega lets fight!" Beta shouted.
Every member of Team Omega threw some kind of ball down to the street where the Straw Hats were and one by one a monkey came out, its head on fire, it looked like a serious fighter. Soon there was an army of them ready to fight the Straw Hats.
"I knew this wasn't going to end without a fight." Zoro said.
"Wait! Don't forget! That other thing is also in this crowd, don't let it touch you. You don't want to end up like… Chopper." Nami said, struggling to say Chopper's name.
With those words in everyone's mind the Straw Hats went into battle. As all of this was starting to happen Luffy was still on the roof with Beta, still speechless from the disappearance of Chopper. Speechless until he finally snapped.
"Why… WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?" Luffy demanded.
"Partly for revenge. I mean, what would you do if people heard you got beat up by some kid with an old, beaten up hat. But, this is also to get our organization's name out there for people to know their future leaders. They shall know the name Team Omega!" Beta said.
"Don't talk trash about my hat." Luffy said seriously.
"What's this? You can deal out punches to random people, but you can't take a little verbal abuse." Beta said.
"GOMU GOMU NO STAMP!" Luffy attacked, completely catching Beta off guard.
Mr. Mime didn't have time to set up a barrier to protect Beta. Luffy kicked Beta right in the face and he ended up making contact with the roof's concrete. He was able to recover quickly and when he looked back up he had some scratches, a bloody nose, and he was coughing up some blood. But he was far from done with.
"Gallade! Use close combat!" Beta commanded.
Out of nowhere another Pokémon showed up and hit Luffy with a force equivalent to his own gomu gomu bazooka. It was green and white, its arms looked like they could be used as swords, and it looked like it had been stabbed with a pink shard of glass that when through its body. The force of the blow made Luffy fall off the roof and landed on the streets below with some serious force. Beta noticed that Luffy didn't move after.
Meanwhile…
Zoro was fighting the Infernapes furiously taken down all the ones he could manage to hit. It was easy going for him until he finally ran into it, Alakazam.
"This day just keeps getting better and better, doesn't it?" Zoro said. "Come on Ala…. Whatever you are. Show me what you got." Zoro taunted, failing miserably on its name.
Little did Zoro know that this battle would end fast, real fast. Alakazam used psychic on Zoro's swords and took them out of their holsters.
"You leave a man defenseless and unarmed in battle with your dirty tricks. How would you call this an even battle?" Zoro said.
Alakazam didn't care about what it did. It threw the swords towards Zoro like darts. Zoro was able to doge the first one but got slashed across his torso with second and the third sword managed to get lodged into his right shoulder and went through to his back. Zoro collapsed to his knees. After, Alakazam put the two swords he was able to pick up back in their holsters but leaving the other sword in Zoro's shoulder.
"A scar on a swordsman's back is shameful." Zoro said knowing that where the sword was in his shoulder would definitely leave a mark.
Alakazam walked up to the now unconscious Zoro and used teleport. Zoro was now gone too.
"Zoro!" Nami shouted, seeing the fight that just played out, but at the same time attracting Alakazam's attention to her. It teleported right to her.
"MIRAGE TEMPO: FATA MORGANA!" Nami said, hoping her plan to try to confuse Alakazam would work.
Nami used a more advanced version of mirage tempo and was able to create distorted images of herself. There was a long and skinny version, a short version, a fat version, a big muscular version, and a normal Nami, but that doesn't mean that the normal one was the real one. The only flaw in Nami's plan is that since Alakazam is psychic he could tell which Nami was the real one so it was going to wait for the perfect chance to strike.
"THUNDER BALL! Nami and her mirages attacked sending balls of electric flying towards Alakazam. "There is a twenty percent chance that my attack is the real one. Can you doge them all?" Nami said.
Alakazam did doge them, very easily. It could sense the real from the fake and when the real one came close to hitting him he used reflect and sent the thunder ball right at Nami. It hit the tall, skinny mirage which was the real Nami she was electrocuted and fell to the ground, the mirages faded away. Alakazam walked over to her and used teleport. Nami was now the third to disappear.
"Nami-Swan~! You shitty bastard!" Sanji said, starting to dash towards Alakazam, but then he came to a sudden stop.
Alakazam used its psychic power to create an illusion that froze Sanji still.
"Mellorine!" Sanji said being fooled by the illusion of a woman in a dress flirting with Sanji that was made by Alakazam.
Alakazam was easily able to approach Sanji from behind while he was trying to impress the illusion and use teleport. Sanji then was the fourth one to disappear.
"Sanji!" Usopp shouted. "Take this, ATLAS COMET!" Usopp attempted to hit Alakazam.
Usopp fired four shots towards Alakazam and they slowly began to merge together into one shot for more power and hit Alakazam in the face, but it failed. Alakazam stopped Usopp's bullet right in front of its face with psychic and sent it flying back at Usopp with twice the speed. The impact was so great Usopp fell to the ground. Alakazam then used teleport. Usopp was gone and now there were only three.
"Long Nose!" Robin shouted, running to where she had seen the blast, coming face to face with Alakazam. "ONCE FLEUR, SLAM!" Robin attacked.
Eleven arms sprouted from Alakazam's body and slammed it to the ground with great force. Robin was the first one to actually land a hit. Robin was about to attack again but she noticed that a hand had sprouted from the ground and got a hold of her ankle. She was soon pinned down to the ground by twelve hands, now defenseless. Alakazam was able to use mimic and use the ability of the hana-hana fruit.
"Somebody, please, help me!" Robin cried.
"Nico Robin!" Robin heard Franky call out to her in the distance.
"Franky!" Robin shouted hoping he would get to her in time. But Alakazam was starting to get up from the ground it just got smashed into.
"I would be able to help sooner if it wasn't for all these damn monkeys!" Franky said, fighting his way through the crowd of Infernapes.
When he finally managed to break through the Infernapes to where Robin was being held there was a problem, he was too late, Robin was already gone. Instead he ended up coming face to face with Alakazam.
"What did you do to Nico Robin? Where is she?" Franky asked.
Alakazam just stood there and chuckled as he was starting to get on Franky's nerves.
"BEANS LEFT!" Franky shot at Alakazam.
Franky's bullets right through Alakazam, it pulled off another double team and now Franky was surrounded by multiple clones of Alakazam.
"Now you're trying to confuse me? Nice try, but it won't work." Franky said. "MASTER NAIL!" Franky attacked spitting out multiple nails at a high speed towards Alakazam until there were only two left the real one and the last clone.
One of the Alakazams used psychic on the nails and threw them back at Franky but to no success they were reflected right off of him
"So there is only a fifty, fifty chance I'll hit the real you. I'll take my chances." Franky said. "WEAPONS LEFT!" Franky attacked.
Franky opened up his wrist and shot a cannon ball at the Alakazam that attacked but it went right through it and disappeared while the real one grabbed hold of the cannon ball Franky shot with psychic.
"There is nowhere left to run now! STRONG-" Franky was about to hit Alakazam with a strong hammer but was stopped when Alakazam flung the cannon ball at Franky's one weak point, his back. The explosion caused him to fly into the invisible barrier and he was finally down.
Alakazam walked over and used teleport. Everyone but Luffy was now down, out, and gone.
"Team Omega! We did it, we won!" Beta gloated.
Suddenly there was a big explosion in the group of Infernapes. There was smoke everywhere and when most of it cleared Luffy could be seen. The source of the smoke was actually from Luffy, his skin was steaming and his skin was a soft pink color.
"GEAR SECOND!" Luffy said, being able to see tears in his eyes. "All my moves have gone up a notch! There is no way I can lose!" Luffy said with pure determination in his eyes.
"Gallade, use psycho cut!" Beta commanded.
Gallade did a karate chop in the air and sent a wave of psychic power towards Luffy that looked like it could slice him.
"GOMU GOMU NO JET WHIP" Luffy stretched out his leg and hit the psycho cut dead on with a powerful force and sent the wave into another building, slicing it in two.
"Poison jab Gallade!" Beta demanded.
Gallade's hand glowed purple with venom and punch Luffy right in the stomach, the poison making Luffy feel like it was eating his flesh. But he with put up with it and grabbed Gallade by its shoulders.
"GOMU GOMU NO JET BELL!" Luffy stretched his head back as far as he could and brought it forward with a force that delivered a nasty head-butt to Gallade's forehead that sent him backwards into a building flying straight through it hitting the barrier.
"Gallade! Don't give up! Close combat!" Beta said.
Gallade got right back up and sprinted right back to Luffy and went to punch him in the face.
"GOMU GOMU NO JET BALLOON!" Luffy inflated with air and became of what resembled a balloon that Gallade punched but bounced right off of Luffy right back into another building. "GOMU GOMU NO JET BAZOOKA!" Luffy attacked Gallade to deliver the final blow that smashed Gallade back into the barrier.
"Gallade! You'll have to resort to your last move, hyper beam!" Beta said.
Gallade charged up a laser in its mouth and shot it at Luffy at an amazing speed. Luffy got hit dead on by the hyper beam and fell to the ground but so did Gallade from exhaustion and needing to recharge.
"Alakazam, go! Get rid of this final brat." Beta said.
"Go ahead, do it. I already lost my crew; I have nothing else to lose." Luffy said while coughing up some blood.
"Alright, I have no problem with you dying off somewhere else. Alakazam, you know what to do." Beta said.
Alakazam walked up to Luffy and there was the bright, blue flash and in the end Luffy was gone. The Straw Hats were gone, Team Omega had won, and now Beta was set on plan of taking control of the world.
