The War has Begun

"Ok guys we need people watching every inch of this ship at all times the war has been started." Ryoma says to the entire crew. She then looks at the Seigaku Regulars and says " Listen if you guys want to go back home I'll understand."

"We are not leaving you here this war is a part of you and also a part of us." Tezuka says.

"Thank you ok we need to plan a final attack to stop whaling once and for all."

"Captain if I may."

"Of course Pete. Guys this is Pete Bethune he lost his ship and shipmates to the Nisshin Maru they ran over the boat and his and friends are gone so he joined us. You were saying."

"No probem I have an idea of how to take them down from the inside."

"We've tried that Pete and I got caught."

"I'm saying let them take me prisoner and I'll go to trial in Japan and tell our side and what happened to my crew and ship."

"This might actually work we'll use the same theory of getting on from when the captain snuck on the Nisshin Maru and it should be a success." Paul says.

"It is smart ok we have a plan we'll intiate it in a day same time and same positions. Pete be careful we'll do what we can on this end and the season ends in four days we have kept them from hunting over a fourth of what they usually catch so this season will be their last and one of our many victories!" yells Ryoma.

Then everyone cheered and teared up and was hugging and congradulating each other on the win.

"All right lets all rest and prepare for war and Pete you are making a huge sacrifice for our cause and I would love to personally thank you for everything."

"Your welcome captain."

"Alright lets prepare for tonight. Dismissed."

"Yes mam."

"Kunimitsu I have to thank you too for everything you gave up for me and this cause. I love you." she then kissed him.

He slowly returned the kiss and it turned into one of passion and love. Kunimitsu broke off the kiss and said, "I love you too and when we get back to japan" he said while getting on one knee and pulling a velvet box from his pocket said, " Will you marry me?"

Her eyes started to tear up and she said what her heart was screaming "Yes."

-Seven Hours Later-

"Ok guys its time see ya Pete."

"See ya captain."

"Make us proud."

"I will."

With that he snuck onto the Nisshin Maru and then an hour later the crew was watching with baited breath and saw Pete he was on the deck waving us down and then the next thing they know he is being tackled to the deck and taken away in handcuffs.

"Make us proud Pete." Ryoma said while crying into Tezuka's chest.

-Two Days Later-

Its been two days and the crew is docked in Japan so the captain can watch the trial and find out if everything was for nought.

"Case number 9384756 Pete Bethune vs. the Nisshin Maru." the Baliff spoke.

To Pete's surprise his captain was sitting in the court room with him.

"Baliff what are the charges?" shouts the judge.

"destruction of property, and pirating of whaling."

"How do you plea?"

"Not guilty."

Ryoma was shocked to hear his plea and started to ask him what he was doing but she saw the look of determination in his eyes and settled down.

Pete told his side of the story and the Sea Shepherds side too and saw the look on the juries faces.

"How do you find one Pete Bethune guilty or not guilty."

"We the jury find Pete Bethune not guilty."

Ryoma was close to crying when the judge spoke up again.

"How do you find the captain of the Nisshin Maru guilty or not guilty."

"We the jury find the captain of the Nisshin Maru guilty. And we move to stop whaling for any purpose."

"Motion granted and captain you will spend twenty five to life for murder of the Pete Bethune's crew and the destruction of his ship. Baliff take him away."

Ryoma jumped up and hugged Pete and said, "We finally did it all the whales are finally safe. And your crew has retribution. Congradulations."

"I couldn't have done it without you captain."

"Come on there is a victory party waiting for us on the Steve Irwin."

"Alright lets go."

-On the Steve Irwin-

"Hey crew we won the war." Ryoma screamed and everyone cheered and was glad that the war was over and the whales were safe.

"Hey" Tezuka said as he snuck up behind her and swooped her up in her arms.

"Whoa and hey to you too." she then kissed him and that moment in time froze where everything was perfect and everything still is perfect.
