The Forest of Amazon Lily "The Island of Women"…
Marguerite, Aphelandra and Sweet Pea continue to stare at the five new strangers before them.
"Don't worry. We're friends." The man clad in the red garb says
"Friends? Are you allies of the Commander?" Marguerite asks
"Yeah, you could say something like that." The man in the black garb says
"But if you're friends with the Commander…then why aren't you—"
However Marguerite is not able to finish her sentence as then the sounds of more Husks can be heard coming towards them.
"Sounds like more of those things are coming." The woman clad in pink garb says as the five figures look in the direction.
The man in red looks at Marguerite and the others, "The three of you better get out of here."
"But what about you three?" Marguerite asks
"You don't need to worry about us. We can handle ourselves." The woman in yellow says
"Quickly before they get here." The man in blue says
Marguerite and the others nod their head as they quickly then run off deeper into the forest as the five figures then walk to where they once stood prepared to block the Reaper forces from chasing after them.
"An island full of just women? Man this place is just a little weird." The man in black says
"It reminds me a lot of the amazon warriors. An all-female only tribe of women warriors. Well minus those explosive arrows of course that these people seem to have." The man in blue says
Just then more Husks, Cannibals and Marauders appear through the tree-line stopping a couple of feet away from them moving around in place as if preparing to attack.
"So these guys are those Husk things of the Reapers?" The woman in yellow says
"Uhhh it still disgusts me of who and what these things used to be before though. I can't believe those Reapers." The woman in pink says
"Believe it Emma. Which is why these Reapers need to be stopped. Come on Rangers let's do it." The man in red says
The five beings known as Rangers each take out a card as well as a handheld device that resembles the head of a tiki except silver with gold outlines and green eyes. The five Rangers then pull down on its mouth revealing a place to place their cards, "Summon Battle Gear!" The five Rangers yell as they close the mouth.
"Summon Battle Gear!" A deep voice calls out from the device.
All of a sudden in their hands appear each of the Rangers respective weapons; for the Red Ranger a sword, for the Blue Ranger a bow, for the Black Ranger a giant axe, or the Yellow Ranger a claw like weapon, and for the Pink Ranger a weapon that resembles a feather.
"Fury of the Dragon! Megaforce Red!" The Red Megaforce Ranger yells
"Flames of the Phoenix! Megaforce Pink!" The Pink Megaforce Ranger yells
"Venom of the Snake! Megaforce Black!" The Black Megaforce Ranger yells
"Claw of the Tiger! Megaforce Yellow!" The Yellow Megaforce Ranger yells
"Bite of the Shark! Megaforce Blue!" The Blue Megaforce Ranger yells
"Earth's Defenders, Never Surrender! Power Rangers…Megaforce!" The Five members of the Power Rangers Megaforce yell in unison

Intro: watch?v=3q_ajBiZIto&hd=1 (Journey Through the Decade)
…
"Alright guys let's take them down." Megaforce Red says
The horde of Husks let out a roar as they then charge towards them, the Megaforce Rangers get into their battle stances and charge forward as they engage the Husks, Cannibals and Marauders in close quarters combat.
"Dragon Sword!" Megaforce Red yells as he engages in combat with the Reaper forces around him.
Megaforce Red twists his sword around with his hand as he then lunges forward stabbing a Husk in the chest as sparks fly off from it sending it twisting around towards the ground. Megaforce Red ducks down as a Husk comes in from behind him swinging its claw at him as he then swings his sword across another charging Husk as it comes at him from his right and then twist kicks around to his left as another Husk comes at him from behind kicking it away before it can strike.
"Phoenix Shot!" Megaforce Pink yells
Megaforce Pink soars through the air as she fires her weapon firing pink colored energy bolts down at the Reaper forces below her as the shots impact into many Husks sending sparks flying from them as they go down. As she lands a Cannibal approaches her stopping a few feet away from her as it attempts to fire its weapon but Megaforce Pink quickly aims her weapon and fires first taking the Cannibal out before it can fire.
"Snake Axe!" Megaforce Black yells
Megaforce Black swings his Snake Axe cutting across the stomachs of five Husks in front of him as he then turns around to see another Husk charging towards him as he swings his axe up the Husk sending sparks flying from it as it stumbles forward before falling down dead. Megaforce Black then looks to his right to see a Marauder and two Cannibals take firing positions with the Marauder in the middle and Cannibals on either side of it as they then aim and fire their weapons at Megaforce Black. Megaforce Black quickly begins swinging his Snake Axe managing to block each and every shot.
"My turn." Megaforce Black says as he then jumps upwards into the air bringing his Snake Axe over his head.
As he falls back down towards the ground Megaforce Black then brings his Snake Axe down hitting the ground as he lands on his knees sending forth a powerful shockwave towards the three Husks as the shockwave explodes upwards from the ground sending the three flying backwards to the ground.
"Tiger Claw!" Megaforce Yellow yells
Megaforce Yellow jumps down from a tree branch driving her Tiger Claw into a Husk as it falls backwards to the ground with her on top of it. As the two land on the ground Megaforce Yellow rolls off the downed Husk to her left swinging her Tiger Claw upwards into a Marauder sending sparks flying from it as it falls down backwards as she then turns around and kicks her right foot upwards knocking a Husk off its feet as it falls face forward to the ground. Megaforce Yellow then swings her left foot upwards kicking a Cannibal in its face knocking it down backwards.
"Shark Bowgun!" Megaforce Blue yells as he rolls sideways behind a tree for cover as Marauders and Cannibals fire at him with the shots impacting into the tree and around him.
Straightening up against the tree kneeling down Megaforce Blue pops out from behind his tree to his right firing his Shark Bowgun as blue energy bolts fly out from it impacting into a couple of Cannibals and two Marauders sending sparks flying from them as he then quickly gets back into cover behind the tree. As quickly as he popped back behind the tree for cover Megaforce Blue immediately then pops out on the other side firing his Shark Bowgun again taking out a couple of Cannibals and Husks as he then gets back into cover then rolling forward as a Husk swings its claw at him hitting the tree instead as it looks at the Megaforce Blue Ranger and roars in anger. Megaforce Blue rolls forward into a kneeling position as he looks around to find himself surrounded by Husks as they move about around him. Megaforce Blue stands straight up and points his Bowgun straight into the air with one hand as he then fires a single blue energy bolt upwards which then splits of into nine separate ones curving in the air with each one flying into the nine Husks from above taking them down.
"Sky Strike!" Megaforce Red and Pink yell in unison as they soar through the air Megaforce Pink above Megaforce Red with a single hand on his back as she shoots outwards towards the Husks with her Phoenix Shot in her other hand with Megaforce Red swinging his Dragon Sword at any Husks that get in their way taking many of them down.
"Land Strike!" Megaforce Black and Yellow yell in unison as they jump into the air and come down bringing their weapons onto the ground as they land back on the ground sending forth a shockwave through the earth as the dirt in front of them kicks upwards into the air as it moves towards a large group of Husks a couple of feet away from them soon impacting into them as the dirt shoots upwards releasing the shockwave taking the Husks out as a couple of them are sent flying into the air corkscrewing into the air before coming back down on the ground.
The five Megaforce Rangers regroup as then a new horde of Husks appear before them once again preparing to attack them.
"Man these things are like ants. There's just so many." Megaforce Blue says
"Then we just keep on squashing them until there's no more left." Megaforce Red says
All of a sudden the Husks in the middle of the horde move aside revealing three Ravagers as they walk in front of the horde of Husks.
"Uh-oh looks like they brought in the heavy artillery." Megaforce Black says
"Then we just need to up our game. Come on guys let's go Super Mega Mode!" Megaforce Red says
The Five Megaforce Rangers then pull out five strange cellphone looking devices and flip them open as well as pulling out strange looking figures the size of their hands as they then press a switch flipping the legs of the figures upwards revealing a key.
The Megaforce Rangers pull back on their arms and extend them outwards with the key like figures and hold their cellphone devices against their chest, "Super Mega Mode!" The Megaforce Rangers yell in unison as they then swing their arms with the keys around their head before inserting them into the cellphone and twisting them as they then extend them outwards.
Just as they do that, the Ravagers open fire at the Rangers as the shots behind and in front of them causing large explosions which obscures the Husks view of the Rangers. The large horde of Husks continue to stare towards the explosion waiting to see if the Rangers were destroyed, however as the explosion dies down they are surprised to not only see the Rangers alive…but having changed.
While the Rangers still retain their specific colors except for the Black Ranger as he is now green, their suits and helmets seemed to have changed as now. All of the rangers seem to have some sort of black colored under suit covered by a gold belt which in the middle has what appears a rectangular shaped box with the outline of a figure much like the ones the Rangers used before, opened up collar coats colored in their specific colors with three gold bars on either side of the opened coat going downwards with in the middle of their chests on the black suits a pirate like symbol with two swords crossing each other behind a skull like symbol and white gloves and their specific color boots both with silver collars above the boots and gloves. The Megaforce Rangers have just transformed into…their Super Megaforce Modes.
"Super Megaforce Red!"
"Super Megaforce Blue!"
"Super Megaforce Green!"
"Super Megaforce Yellow!"
"Super Megaforce Pink!"
The horde of Husks roar in anger as the three Ravagers then prepare to attack the rangers again.
"Not this time!" Megaforce Red yells as he and the other Rangers quickly take out their Super Megaforce Keys while also pressing down on the rectangular boxes on their belts which then flip open to reveal key versions of their Megaforce suits as they take them out as well tossing the two sets of Ranger keys into the air.
As the keys are about to come down the Rangers then open up the key cylinders on their Super Mega Blasters and Sabers as the keys then come back down landing directly in the key cylinders as the Rangers then twist them and close them causing their blades to light up in their respective colors and the circles behind the symbols on the side of their blasters to also light up in their respective color.
"Final Strike!" The Megaforce Rangers yell in unison as they fire their blasters first firing forth bolts of energy colored in their respective ones and then swing their sabers forward immediately afterwards sending forth also an energized saber slash flying into their energy blasts as the tow combine together forming an even more bigger blast as the shots impact into the Ravagers causing a large explosion with the force from the blast blowing some of the Husks down to the ground.
"Now to strike them while they're down. Let's go!" Megaforce Red yells as he and the other Rangers charge forward while the Husks are beginning to recover.
Once again the Megaforce Rangers collide into the Horde of Reaper forces; Megaforce Red swings his saber cutting down a Husk as he then turns around and fires his blaster into three Cannibals behind him. Megaforce Blue holding his blaster behind his back continued to attack the Husks using only his saber as he swung his saber across a Husk cutting it down and then swinging around slashing across a Cannibal's chest. Megaforce Green fired his blaster taking out two Cannibals as he then swung his saber at a charging Husk from his left and then jump twists around firing another blast at another Cannibal.
"Hey Jake switch up!" Megaforce Blue yells as he holds up his blaster
"On it!" Megaforce Green replies holding up his saber.
At the exact same time Megaforce Blue tosses his blaster over to Megaforce Green who tosses his saber to him. As Megaforce Blue catches the saber he then brings both sabers upwards at an attacking Marauder while Megaforce Green catching the other blaster aims both of his blasters and fires taking out a group of Husks, Cannibals and Marauders.
"Hey Gia let's switch up too!" Megaforce Pink yells
"You said it!" Megaforce Yellow replies
Just like Megaforce Blue and Green, Yellow tosses her blaster while Pink tosses her saber with both female Rangers catching the others tossed weapon.
"Time for a little Saber Whip!" Megaforce Yellow yells out as she then pulls out the built in grappling hook and begins swinging the sabers around on a string striking any and all Husks around her taking them out.
Megaforce Pink jumps backwards into the air as she fires her blasters down on the Husks taking many of them out as she lands back on the ground. Megaforce Pink quickly then points her blasters outwards to her sides and fires again taking out a Marauder on either side of her.
As Megaforce Red kicks a Husk back the rest of his team meet up with him again as they look towards what remains of the Husks before them.
"Alright, I think it's time we finished these guys off. Time to show them the power of the Legendary Rangers." Megaforce Red says as he pushes down on the button atop of the box summoning forth a Legendary Ranger Key with this one being white ranger.
The others also summon forth different Legendary Ranger Keys as well as they take them and their Legendary Morphers flipping them open.
"Legendary Ranger Mode!" The Megaforce Rangers yell in unison as they then insert the keys into their Morphers and activate them.
"It's Morphin Time!" Megaforce Red, Blue and Pink yell in unison as they then transform.
"Dino Thunder, Power Up!" Megaforce Green and Yellow yell in unison as they also transform.
"White Mighty Morphin Power Ranger!" Megaforce Red yells
"Green Mighty Morphin Power Ranger!" Megaforce Blue yells
"Pink Mighty Morphin Power Ranger!" Megaforce Pink yells
"Black Dino Thunder Ranger!" Megaforce Green yells
"Yellow Dino Thunder Ranger!" Megaforce Yellow yells
The five rangers charge forth; Megaforce Red donning the power of the White Mighty Morphin Power Ranger jumps forward into the air extending his right leg outwards kicking a Husk backwards to the ground as he lands on his knees with his arms out. Looking up quickly the ranger sees another Husk coming as it swings its claw at him which he quickly blocks by putting his arm up at the Husks elbow stopping it in place as he then punches the Husk in the face then looking to his left to see another Husk coming as he hops up before kicking his right leg outwards at the Husk sending it back.
Landing back on the ground in a kneeling position Megaforce Red looks up to see Husks, Cannibals and Marauders heading towards him as he then stands back up and then pulls out the White Ranger's sword, "Hey Reapers meet the White Ranger's sword Saba!" Megaforce Red yells as he then holds it upside down and extends it outwards as the tiger head of the hilt then opens its mouth as its eyes flash red before then shooting out red beams from its eyes which impact into the Reaper forces taking them down before they can get near him.
Megaforce blue donning the power and weapons of the Mighty Morphin Green Ranger, flips backwards on the ground as a group of Husks charge after him. Stopping in his tracks the ranger looks up to see the Husks charging right towards him as he then goes for the Dragon Dagger on his back, "Dragon Dagger!" Megaforce Blue yells as he then jumps upwards into the air and points it right at the Husks as green blasts of energy are shot out from the dagger impacting into and around the Husks taking them out as they flip over to the ground just as Megaforce Blue lands back on the ground in a crouched down position before standing back up.
"Brachio Staff!" Megaforce Green yells as he pulls out the Brachio Staff of the Black Dino Thunder Ranger.
Megaforce Green swings his staff upwards taking down a Reaper as he then swings the staff downwards on another Husk to his left taking it down as well. Megaforce Green then twists around swinging his staff outwards cutting across two more Husks behind him as he twists all the way back around. Two Marauders to his left aim and begin firing their weapons at the ranger who quickly jumps into the air and corkscrews sideways to avoid the shots as they fly all around him missing him. Landing back on the ground Megaforce Green then raises his staff upwards into the air while holding it upside down and then drives it downwards into the ground, "Earth Strike!" Megaforce Green yells as the ground in front of him begins cracking up towards the two Marauders stopping right under them as it then explodes outwards sending out a powerful shockwave at the Marauders blowing them up into the air as they then fall back down towards the ground.
"Power Bow!" Megaforce Pink yells donning the powers and suit of the Pink Mighty Morphin Power Ranger as she jumps up into the air firing a pink blast of energy from the bow at the Reaper forces below her as she soars over them.
Meanwhile Megaforce Yellow donning the weapons and powers of the Yellow Dino Thunder Ranger charges towards the same group of Husks as she then jumps into the air and soars down towards them armed with the rangers Ptera Grips weapons as she then soars down the middle of them cutting them down as she soars back up.
As both rangers land back on the ground the two look on as electricity and sparks fly from the group of Husks as they then go down and explode into nothingness as the two then turn around.
…
The rangers once again regroup as they power down from their Legendary Rangers back to their Super Mega Mode and then again back to their basic Megaforce suits The rangers survey the area to see no more Reaper forces left as well as hear nothing but the echoes of gunfire and destruction that is happening in the Kuja's village. Just then the Rangers hear the horn of the dreaded Reaper Capital ship as they look up into the dark sky to see as one begins descending down towards the village as it fires its laser into the city.
"So…that's a Reaper." Megaforce Blue says
"Yeah it is." Megaforce Red replies
"Man how I wish we had the Megazord with us (punches his hand). We could give that thing a serious butt whooping and save that village from getting decimated." Megaforce Black says
"There's nothing we can do. Even if we did have our Megazord another Reaper or two could just take its place." Megaforce Red says
For a minute the rangers all remain silent as they watch as the Reaper lands in the city until Megaforce Pink then speaks, "So what do we do now Troy?"
"There's nothing else to do. We did what we came here for. Now we need to head back to our universe, the Reapers could arrive at any time and we need to be there for when they do and be ready." Megaforce Red says
The other Megaforce Rangers nod their heads as they take out their Gosei Morphers while Troy walks away from them just a few feet and looking through the tree line manages to see the ocean as he then catches a glimpse of the Thousand Sunny as it escapes from another Reaper Capital Ships attack going through a portal, "Hope to see you soon Commander. We'll be waiting for you." Megaforce Red says to himself
"Hey Troy let's go!" Megaforce Black yells
Megaforce Red looks back and runs over to his team, "It's a good thing that Minerva lady granted us two of these Universal Travel Cards." Megaforce Blue says as he looks at a card which has a picture of what appears to be multiple galaxies in the deep vastness of space.
"Yeah, one to get here and then one to get back." Megaforce Black says
"Alright then, let's go." Megaforce Red says
The rangers take the cards and insert them into their Morphers as they then close it shut activating the cards as then the five are surrounded by a bright golden aura and then disappear in a flash of light.
…
One Hour Later…
The Red Line…
"So uhh…what's up with this gigantic mountain in front of us?" James asks
It had been an hour since the group had escaped from the Reaper forces at Amazon Lily. Sailing through the calm open ocean on their way to Fishman Island the group of heroes as well as the Kuja Warriors long needed rest while the ship made its way to their destination. Finally arriving where they needed to be, the group of heroes soon found themselves looking up against a very, very…very tall mountain like wall before them. To Shepard and his team, they expected to have arrived at Fishman Island by now as they looked up it; but Luffy and the others knew exactly what they were looking at.
"Oh yeah that's right forgot to tell you guys where Fishman Island was." Sanji says
"What are you talking about? Isn't it supposed to be right here or something? It is an island after all I mean what is it underwater or something?" Po says
"That's exactly where it is." Zoro says
"What?" Shepard, his team, Po and Tigress say at the same time
"How is that even possible for an island to be underwater and people to live there?" Liara asks
"Fishman Island came to be because fishmen on the ocean floor would gather at the only place where sunlight reached them. That place eventually became Fishman Island. The sunlight came from the roots of the Sunlight Tree Eve, which would absorb sunlight on the surface, and then send it down to Fishman Island via the tree's roots. Fishmen and merfolk were the only people to once occupy the island and due to being half human and half fish they can breathe underwater without any problem. However people are also able to go and live there due to a giant bubble encasing the entire island allowing humans to breathe." Robin says
"So what's up with this huge mountain in front of us?" Ashley asks
"That would be the Red Line. A long continent that stretches across the entire world, from North to South, along the equivalent of Earth's Prime Meridian. The Red Line bears the world capital, Mariejois, and is said to be 10,000 meters deep from ocean level to Fishman Island, and at the same time is high enough above sea level to be considered impassible, and is indestructible, meaning that no one can pass over it or under it without using either of the entrances. So to put it simple there are two ways of crossing across the Red Line, the safest way but hardest one would be gaining government permission from the holy government land of Mariejois. And then there's the more dangerous way but probably more faster and you don't need permission from anyone which is Fishman Island." Nami says
"So to get to Fishman Island we need to travel all the way to the Seafloor under the water? That's really deep, can the Reapers even go under water and to that depth?" Tali says
"Never really seen them try it. All of the places we've been too we've seen them just on ground or in the air. Who knows maybe they can't go under water." Garrus says
"I don't think water's going to stop them very much. Harbinger was created using the genetic material of the Leviathan's who are an aquatic race. Besides do you really think the Reapers would be affected by the water or its depth?" Shepard says
"Just trying to look for a positive thing." Garrus replies
"So if this Fishman Island is under water. How do we get to it?" Chief asks
"The only way to get to the Fishman Islands is by a method called Coating." Brook says
"Coating?" Shepard asks
"A process in which a ship is coated with special resin from a special kind of tree called the Yarukiman Mangroves. Thus enabling a ship to survive the crushing depths of the ocean." Franky says
"And where can we find these…Yaru…special trees?" Shepard asks
"There's some place here in the New World where you can find these trees. But we're nowhere near it and I don't know where we are and where to look for it." Hancock says
"The main place to find these trees is on the island on the other side of the Red Line called Sabaody Archipelago." Chopper says
"But unfortunately the Reapers hit that place just three days ago. Don't know if those trees are there anymore." Sanji says
"Don't know. Which means there could be trees there from which we can get this resin from." Shepard says
"Like I said I don't know. I read it in the newspaper and saw a picture of the trees on the shore on fire. Don't know about the ones going inland." Sanji says
"Are you sure there's no other place to get any of this resin?" Chief asks
"The Marines managed to extract a lot of resin from the place before they were forced to retreat. They're using it for their own use as well as getting refugees to the safety of Fishman Island. But I highly doubt they're going to be easy to find or let us have any of it. There could be people with their own stash of it but we don't know anyone who has it. Sabaody Archipelago is the only place we know of where to get the resin." Usopp says
"Well then…guess we have no choice." Shepard says
"Hm? What do you mean Shepard?" Luffy asks
"We're going to need to go to Sabaody Archipelago and get this resin ourselves." Shepard says
"What!" Many of the Straw Hats except Robin yell in shock.
"Wait a minute you're not serious right now are you!?" Usopp asks
"Not even the Coup de Burst can clear over the Red Line. Even if we managed too, we'd be easy targets for the Reaper ships over there." Franky says
"I'm not saying to take the Sunny over there though. We can use the Doctor's TARDIS to transport us over there. A small team could be transported over there and collect the amount of resin we need to coat the Thousand Sunny." Shepard says
"It just might work too. The Reapers don't have the equipment to detect my TARDIS so we could easily land on the island near a tree that's still alive and producing this resin. We collect it and come back here and then apply the resin to the ship to get down to the Fishman Island." The Doctor says
"If you do plan on going to the island Commander. Then you're also going to need special equipment that applies the resin to the ship. I can send some of my warriors with you to help collect the resin and to help you identify the items that you need to apply a resin to the ship." Hancock says
"Thanks for the assistance Hancock, but I don't want to put your warriors through more than what they—"
"Commander it's the least we can do to repay you for all you've done to help us. Besides you don't know how to collect resin or know the items needed to apply the resin to a ship. My warriors can help you with that." Hancock says
"She does have a point Shepard." Chief says to Shepard.
"(sighs in defeat) Alright then. You can send some of your warriors with us. Any volunteers?" Shepard asks
"I will go with you Commander." Kikyo says
"I will assist you as well." The Kuja Pirate known as Ran says stepping forth as well
"I can be of some help as well zahahaha." The Kuja Pirate known as Daisy says stepping forth as well.
"Count me in too Commander." The Kuja Pirate known as Rindo says
"Let me help too." Another Kuja Warrior says stepping forth.
"I want to help." Another Kuja Warrior says
"(Puts up his hand) Alright. That's enough. The six of you will do we don't need much more. (Puts his hand down and looks at Chief) Chief you can lead the second team to recover those special items needed to apply the resin." Shepard says
"No problem." Chief replies
"Garrus, Liara, EDI, Javik, Tigress the five of you will come along as well. Luffy—"
"Ohhh am I coming along too?!" Luffy says in excitement
"Uhhhh no not exactly. We need people who can be stealthy for this mission." Shepard says
"I can be stealthy!" Both Luffy and Po say at the same time raising their hands trying to volunteer to go along.
"NO YOU CAN'T!" Tigress, Zoro, Sanji, Nami and Usopp yell in anger
"Anyways you're too stay here." Shepard says
"Ehhhhh! Wait why?" Luffy asks
"Because…we need someone to look after the ship and to take charge of the ones staying on the ship of course. You are the captain of this ship so it only seems fit to put you in charge of course. Should the Reapers or any other unwanted visitors attack." Shepard says trying to trick Luffy.
"Hmmmm...Alright yeah seems like the right decision." Luffy says with a smile
"Geez this kid will believe anything anyone says." James says
"He's not a smart that's for sure." Ashley says
"Anyways I'm going to need some of your crew members to come along as well. They know the island and have some skills that could help out in this mission." Shepard says
"Sure no problem." Luffy says
"Let's see Zoro we could—"
"NOOOOOO!" Most of the Straw Hats except Luffy and Robin yell
"Huh? Is something wrong?" Shepard asks
"The idiot Moss-head has a horrible sense of direction. You bring him along especially to that place he's going to wander off from the group and you're going to have to find him!" Sanji yells
"What was that you idiot cook! I least I don't have a bloody nose every time I see a woman!' Zoro yells back in anger.
All of a sudden both Zoro and Sanji begin attacking each other as Zoro swings his swords and Sanji his foot both blocking each other's attacks.
"ARE YOU TWO SERIOUSLY DOING THIS NOW!?" Usopp yells in anger
As the two continue to fight Shepard and the rest of his team including the Chief, Po, Tigress and the Doctor just stare confused by what they're seeing before them.
"Is this a common thing that happens between these two?" Tali asks Nami.
"You have no idea how often this happens." Nami replies as she puts her hand on her face in embarrassment
"Exactly how bad is Zoro's…sense of—"
"One time we told him to head to the stairs that were giant and right in front of us and instead he ran off in another direction." Nami says
"Oh…that's really bad sense of direction." Tali says
"Uh…okay then. So…Brook you'll come along." Shepard says
"Me?" Brook says pointing at himself
"Yeah, you're the second best swordsmen of the Straw Hats so you could be of help. Not to mention you're fast and you…have a good sense of direction…right?" Shepard asks
"Yep. You don't have to worry about me Commander. Even though I don't have eyes I can still see where I'm going and fight. And I don't have as bad sense of direction as Zoro. Yohohohohoho." Brook says
"Alright then, Usopp you can come along as well." Shepard says
"WAIT WHAT! HOLD ON A MINUTE I DIDN'T AND I AM NOT VOLUNTEERING MYSELF FOR THIS MISSION! BESIDES WHAT USE COULD I BE TO YOU?" Usopp yells in horror as he tries to get out of going.
"Next to Garrus you're the next best marksman we have. Not to mention those Pop Green Plants of yours can be of great help should we run into trouble." Shepard says
"Well sure I mean I may be the best sniper in this entire multiverse and all—"
"I wouldn't say the best." Garrus says
"You kinda have some umm…How could I put this lightly. Scaredy cat issues." Garrus says
"Are you saying that me Usopp the king of the snipers are afraid of some—"
"Reapers." Garrus says
"AHHHH WHERE WHERE!?" Usopp yells in terror looking around
"Hehe. Man it's like messing with new recruits on the first day." Garrus says
"Alright Garrus I think he's had enough." Shepard says
"Alright sure." Garrus replies
"Anyways you're coming along anyways. You didn't volunteer. Rather you were picked to go. Much of a difference I think." Shepard says sarcastically.
"Oh no I think I coming down with I don't want to die sickness." Usopp says as he lays on the ground pretending to be sick.
"Chopper. We could use the brute strength and speed of some of your different forms." Shepard says
"Huh? Hold on a moment! I—"
"Once again you were picked, not volunteered." Chief says
"Gaaaaahhhhhhh….." Chopper groans as his eyes go blank in shock.
"Robin. You're powers could be of some help as well. Should any Husks get in our way you can use your powers to take care of them right?" Shepard asks
"(Nods her head with a smile) Hm. I will gladly help you out Commander." Robin says
"Then that should be enough. The rest of you will stay on the ship and keep an eye on it. We don't need any Reapers or any unwanted guests to destroy it or come along and set a trap for us while we're gone." Shepard says
"Don't worry Loco. You can count on us to watch over this ship. It'll be just like watching over the Normandy." James says
"Alright. Everyone else let's go. Doctor." Shepard says
…
Inside the TARDIS…
"What sorcery is this?" Kikyo asks as she looks at the inside of the TARDIS.
"It ain't sorcery. This here is Time Lord Technology at its finest." The Doctor says popping up from behind the control panels.
"THIS IS SO AWESOME!" Usopp and Chopper yell in excitement as they stare at the marvel of the vastness of the inside of the TARDIS.
Chopper runs over to the control panels and looks at all of the different buttons and switches on it, "Amazing." Chopper says to himself as he then reaches for one of the buttons to press it.
Just then the Doctor walks over and gives a small slap to Chopper's reaching hand, "Uh-uh-uh no touching. Only I get to touch the controls of the TARDIS. Unless I give you permission to touch it that is then you can touch it but until then no one but me can touch it." The Doctor says
As Robin continues to stare in amazement at the inside of the TARDIS Shepard and Chief walk up the stairs having just returned from where they keep all of the weapons and other supplies. Shepard and his team having equipped silencers to their weapons with Chief placing a silencer on his MA5D as well as taking a M6C/SOCOM pistol as his sidearm.
"So Doctor. Can you bring up a map of this place?" Shepard asks
The Doctor nods his head as he pulls the TV over to their side and turns it on as he presses a couple of buttons bringing up a map of Sabaody Archipelago.
"Robin you know a place where we can find any of these special equipment needed?" Shepard asks
Robin walks up to the TV screen and then points to the part of the island in the upper right corner, "This area. The 40-49 Area of the Island, it's a tourist area, filled with shops and souvenir stands. If there are any areas to look for the equipment we need they should be there." Robin says
"Alright then the plans simple. We'll land near the buildings hopefully somewhere where we have high ground. Chief you take second team which will consist of Liara, EDI, Chopper and Robin. (Turns to the Kuja Warriors) Do any of you know what we're looking for in terms of these special items?" Shepard says
"I can help you with that. I know the things you'll need to look for zahahaha." Daisy says
"Alright then…meanwhile the rest of us, including you Doctor. We'll go after the resins. Garrus when we first land use your sniper to try and located a tree that looks alive. Mark it down and we'll head there immediately. We get the resin, Chief your team gets the items, we pick you up and we get back to the Thousand Sunny. Simple as that, do not engage unless necessary we do this quick and quietly with the Reapers never knowing we were here." Shepard says
…
Sabaody Archipelago…
Nearby Hilltop of Area 40-49…
The TARDIS materializes on a hilltop with a building nearby, the doors open up as the Master Chief peers out around the side of the TARDIS before slowly stepping out with his assault rifle aimed forward at the ready as he checks the area for any signs of Reaper forces.
Stepping a few feet forward as he turns around and sees no enemy forces nearby lowers his weapon and looks back at the TARDIS, "All clear." Chief says
The rest of the team step out of the TARDIS and group up with the Chief as Garrus and Shepard meanwhile step out after them and walk out to the edge of the hilltop kneeling down as Garrus then stares down the scope of his rifle as he begins scanning looking for a tree that's alive. As he stares through the scope all he can see is rising smoke pillars coming from the destroyed buildings as well as a couple of burnt up Yarukiman Mangroves.
"So far not looking so good for us in terms of living trees." Garrus reports.
"Keep looking. There's must be some of these mangroves that aren't burnt to a crisp." Shepard says
"So what's the backup plan of getting the Fishman Island if we can't—Hold on. I think I…I got one." Garrus says
"Where?" Shepard asks
Garrus hands Shepard his rifle and points outwards, "At your 11 o'clock. Right between two dead mangroves, it'll be a little bit obscured by some smoke from your position." Garrus says
As Shepard continues to look through the scope of the Mantis he looks towards his 11 o'clock as his scope readjusts itself as he then spots the mangrove right where Garrus said it would be.
"Got it." Shepard says
Garrus meanwhile goes on his Omni-Tool having marked the location down on the map based on where they were and how far away the mangrove was from their position.
"Alright got the location marked down. Let's go." Garrus says
Shepard hands Garrus back his rifle as the two stand back up with Garrus rushing back into the TARDIS while Shepard turns to Chief and his team, "All right think you can handle this?" Shepard asks
"Shouldn't be much of a problem. Just make sure you can get your part done Shepard." Chief replies
"If either one of us fail then it's all going to be for nothing." Shepard says as he rushes back to the TARDIS.
"Shepard!" Chief yells catching Shepard's attention as he is about to enter the TARDIS.
"Good luck." Chief says
"Well so far we've had luck here and there across the universes we've been too. Let's hope this is another moment of luck. We could really use it about now." Shepard replies as he walks into the TARDIS closing the door as the TARDIS then begins making its wheezing like noise as it then de-materializes.
Chief looks at the rest of his team, "All right then, let's go find those supplies." Chief says
…
The TARDIS materializes near the still alive and resin producing Yarukiman Mangrove as bubbles of the resin continue to emanate from it. The doors open as Shepard, Garrus, Javik, Brook and Tigress walk out at the ready as they scan the area for hostiles, meanwhile Usopp slowly and quivering in fear also begins to walk out with his slingshot at the ready.
"Area's clear." Shepard says as he walks back to the entrance to the TARDIS.
"Yes of course. The area is clear Commander Shepard." Usopp says in confidence as he puts his hands to his hips.
"Hey long nose we already know the area's clear. Don't need to repeat it." Garrus says walking over to Usopp as Shepard walks by them.
"Also try not to wet yourself should we encounter trouble." Garrus says sarcastically.
"Hey for your information I've never wet myself in my entire life." Usopp replies in anger.
"Doctor it's safe for you and the Kuja Warriors to come out." Shepard says as he then walks away as the Kuja Warriors and the Doctor walk out with the warriors carrying the empty crates to place all of the resin.
"So where's this resin?" Shepard asks
"Look up." Kikyo says
Shepard and the others look up, all they see is the tree and the…bubbles that surround it and seem to come out from it.
"The bubbles?" Tigress asks
"Yes. The resin of the trees is blown into bubbles when the trees "breathe out"." Ran says
"Just leave collecting the resin to us." Kikyo says
"Alright, we'll just keep an eye out. Doctor keep the TARDIS at the ready in case we need to make a quick escape." Shepard says
The Kuja Warriors nod their heads and run off to the tree to collect the resin as the Doctor runs back inside the TARDIS to keep it at the ready.
…
In the streets of the tourist area, many of the buildings continue to stand but in ruin while many others are nothing now but pieces of rubble. In the streets Husks and Cannibals wander about moaning and growling with nothing else to do, no battles to fight, no humans or anything else alive to tear apart. One Husk walks by a dark alleyway unaware of what lies in the darkness as an outline of a person can be seen.
Master Chief slowly walks out of the shadows with his assault rifle raised as he walks to the edge of the alleyway lowering his rifle down to make sure it doesn't stick out. Chief peers around the corner of the alleyway and spots the large group of Husks and Cannibals wandering about, just then he notices the other Husk that passed by appear to be coming back around on his motion sensor as he quickly steps back into the shadows just as it reappears. The Husk looks towards the dark alleyway and sees nothing, the Husk begins to approach it but as it draws closer to it the Husk is then met with a combat knife that is driven into its skull. As Master Chief pulls his combat knife out the Husk begins to fall forward to which the Chief quickly catches it and drags it into the alleyway to hide it out of sight. All of a sudden sprouting out from the back of all of the Husks, hands appear grabbing all of them by the neck as the hands then pull backwards on them pulling back on the Husks breaking their necks as they all fall down dead. As they do the Cannibals become crazed as they look around to try and find the attackers as then from the alleyway, Chief pops out of cover with his pistol in hand and aimed as he begins firing a single shot into all of the heads of the Cannibals managing to take all of them down in a single shot quickly as they all fall down dead clearing the streets of the Reaper forces.
As Chief lowers his pistol he then turns his head around looking back at the alleyway, "All clear."
Liara, EDI, Chopper, Robin and the Kuja pirate Daisy all walk out as Liara and EDI carry their sidearm in hand.
"Where do we go from here?" Chief asks Daisy
"Hmm…well for starts we should probably check out the buildings that aren't pieces of rubble first." Daisy says
"Let's split up. Cover more ground that way. Radio each other if we find anything. Daisy go with EDI, Chopper with Liara, Robin with me." Chief says
The three groups quickly move out to check the surrounding buildings for the equipment needed to apply the resin to the ship to coat it.
…
Meanwhile back on the Thousand Sunny…
Ashley and James stand in the crow's nest keeping an eye out for any signs of Reaper Capital Ships, other ships of this universe and even an eye out for Cerberus should they be in this universe.
"Got anything yet Ashley?" James asks
"No nothing yet. Hopefully Shepard and the others can make it back before the Reapers find us. We're sitting ducks out here." Ashley says
"Commander's never failed on us before. No reason to start now." James says
As the two Marines continue to keep an eye out from the view of the Crow's Nest, down below on the deck Tali and a couple of Kuja Warriors also keep their eyes out for any signs of trouble. Nami heads into the library as she continues to keep track of islands that have so far been mentioned in the newspapers as being attacked by the Reapers. By the looks of it so far, all of their homes were continuing to remain lucky as the Reapers seemed to be focusing on the islands with bigger cities first and then moving down to the smaller and smaller cities on other islands. In the boys room of the Thousand Sunny Zoro was sound fast asleep while Sanji was in the kitchen cooking food for a couple of the Kuja warriors. Franky meanwhile heads below decks to check on his workshop as well as the Straw Hats other vehicles to see if they received any damage during their escape.
Luffy meanwhile lies down on the figurehead of the Thousand Sunny looking up into the sky as he rests. Just then he hears the sound of someone running up the stairs leading to the figurehead and looks to see Po then jump up onto the figurehead and then walk over to him.
"Hey Luffy. How's it going?" Po asks
"Oh hey Po. I'm fine." Luffy replies
Po nods his head as he then decides to lay down himself on the figurehead of the Thousand Sunny.
"Hm. Now I can see why you like it up here. Really comfortable and a great view of things." Po says
"I know right! I can see a lot of things happening from the figurehead. Well…except for anything that's happening behind us that is." Luffy says
"So! What are you doing up here anyways?" Po asks
"Just hoping." Luffy says
Po turns his head at Luffy, "I hope Marguerite and the others will be okay." Luffy says
"Oh…yeah I'm actually hoping too as well." Po says
"What are you talking about?" Luffy asks
"Hello (points at himself) Hero here from another universe. Trust ne Luffy, you're not the only one who's hoping that friends of yours are also surviving." Po says
"Oh yeah that's right. So it's just you and Tigress huh?" Luffy asks
"Well no. There are four others as well, they decided to stay back in Shepard's Universe with all of the other heroes who Shepard had gathered so far. I decided to help out the Commander and his team, Tigress decided to come along as well and "watch me" to make sure I didn't get into any trouble." Po says
"How many other universes have you been too so far alongside the Commander?" Luffy asks
"Just one other universe before we came here." Po replies
"What was that universe like?" Luffy asks
"…Well…not really a difference really. Just like here, and who knows how many other universes it was all destroyed by the Reapers. In terms of the people we encountered…really interesting for sure. The humans there, they could like…mmmmm bend. Like the four elements of the world to their will like: Water, Earth, Fire and Air. In fact based on those four elements that's how they were divided pretty much, Water People, Fire People, Earth People and Air People. Trust me that place was really interesting and awesome. I mean I'm not saying that your universe isn't interesting in fact like those Devil Fruit things of yours really interesting that's for sure." Po says
"Wow really sounds cool. Can't wait to meet the heroes who came from that universe." Luffy says
"Hehe yeah and I really can't wait to meet the heroes that are still to come. Can't wait to see what they can do." Po says
"So who's the people back home that you're hoping are surviving the Reapers?" Luffy asks
"My dad for one, a goose who can cook the best noodles in the entire world…or uh our universe? Something like that but seriously his noddle soup is one of the best ever. Nothing I've had has been able to beat that." Po says
"Ohhh sounds yummy. Man I wish I could try it." Luffy says
"Man and to think that I couldn't bring any of it with us. Anyways…the other person is our Grand Master, the one who taught us our Kung Fu skills Shifu. He's pretty skilled so I think he could handle himself…though for how long I don't know. He's good…but against the Reapers…I don't think anyone's too good to face them by themselves." Po says
"Yeah no kidding. I'm strong…but just like I was two years ago, I actually don't feel so strong anymore. After two years of intense training I thought that I was ready to take on anything that was to come in the New World. But the Reapers…they're a whole other thing." Luffy says
"Yeah, I even heard it from Shepard himself, no amount of training…of any kind of training…can prepare you for something like these guys. I can see why it's necessary for Shepard and his friends to travel across the multiverse to gather as many heroes and armies of good as possible. Cause by themselves no one can stop the Reapers. Still though who would've thought that there would be an enemy so powerful out there…that it would require heroes from across a Multiverse to work together to put a stop to them." Po says
"Huh you kidding, I'm still trying to get over the whole Multiverse thing. Still hard to believe that out there, there are all of these different universes, some more advanced than others, all of them with something unique to them that separates them from the other universes." Luffy says
"Yeah. But it does seem that there are some things out there that remain the same throughout all of the universes." Po says
"And what's that?" Luffy asks
"Well as Shepard would say (tries to impersonate Shepard) "The everlasting battle between good and evil"." Po says
"Hahahaha! Wow that sounded actually close to him. Hahaha!"
"I know huh nice." Po says as Luffy continues laughing
…
Back with Shepard's Team…
Shepard, Garrus and Javik continue to keep their weapons up as they still keep an eye out for signs of any Reaper forces. Tigress, Brook and Usopp meanwhile bring up the rear staying close to the Doctor and the Kuja Warriors.
Shepard quickly and quietly runs over to the Doctor who is loading the already filled crates onto the TARDIS, "How's the resin coming along?" Shepard asks
"So far so good. The Kuja have already filled up fifteen crates of them. We have five more crates to go and then we're good to go." The Doctor replies
"Any chance we could hurry the process up. Don't how much longer we can stay hidden. It's a surprise that the Reapers haven't caught us or even came by this place yet." Shepard says
"Shepard, we're trying to catch bubbles. Not exactly an easy process to do." The Doctor says as he finishes carrying the filled crate into the TARDIS before then rushing back to the Kuja Warriors.
"Man you'd think that a guy who created a gun to create portals to other universes would have something to catch bubbles with." Shepard says to himself as he begins walking back over to Garrus and Javik.
Just then the Doctor runs back to the TARDIS catching Shepard's attention, "You know Shepard I just realized something."
"What is it?" Shepard asks
"I don't know why but I just remembered that I have something that can catch bubbles a lot more faster. Something that can catch a bubble and then turn it into well the not so bubbly form we need of the resin to place in the containers. I can't believe I didn't think of it before haha." The Doctor says as he then runs back inside the TARDIS.
Shepard turns back around with a confused look on his face, "While I'm not exactly arguing with it…why does the Doctor even have a machine to capture bubbles with? On second thought maybe I shouldn't ask. I've known him long enough to not ask questions like why he has certain stuff." Shepard says as he then continues walking back over to his position.
…
Meanwhile with the Chief's Team…
Chief slowly and carefully walks through the entrance of one building with his helmets lights on as the lights inside the store have been destroyed keeping his gun raised as he scans for any signs of Husks. Walking right behind him Robin follows closely peering around as well.
"Doesn't look like there's anyone in here." Robin says
Just then Chief raises his assault rifle just as a Husk comes rushing through the doorway leading to the back of the shop and quickly fires three shots into the Husk taking it down before it can get a foot away from the door.
"Perhaps you should let me determine if there's anyone here or not." Chief says
Robin nods her head in agreement as Chief then begins moving forward towards the doorway leading to the back of the shop not seeing anything useful in the front of the shop. Chief stacks up at the doorway before then rushing in pointing his gun in both directions and not seeing anything, Chief looks back at Robin and signals her to follow him in as she quickly walks over to the doorway leading to the back.
Meanwhile in another nearby building, Liara slowly walks in with her Predator pistol at the ready as she scans the store for any signs of any Reaper forces. Directly staying right behind her left leg Chopper stays close to Liara in fear of any Reaper Husks that could come out of nowhere.
"Don't worry Chopper I don't think there are any Husks in here. Besides if there were I would protect you." Liara says
"Th—Thank you Dr. T'Soni." Chopper says
"(Smiles and looks down at Chopper) Chopper you can call me Liara you know." Liara says
"Oh…right…of course." Chopper says
Liara continues to look down at Chopper and smile but then focuses back on the mission as she looks back up and stops smiling. Liara continues slowly walking forward with Chopper following right behind her.
"Do you see anything that looks like the items we need?" Liara asks
Chopper looks around the store but doesn't see anything other than rubble, pieces of the ceiling that collapsed and glass.
"I don't see anything in here. We should check the next building." Chopper says
A Husk falls forward to the ground dead with a hole through its forehead as standing above it EDI is seen with Daisy standing right behind her.
"The store is now clear. You can now check to see if the items we need are here." EDI says
"Already on it." Daisy says as she rushes off to search the building while EDI stands guard at the doorway.
After waiting for about five minutes EDI then hears Daisy call out, "Hey I found them!"
Hearing this EDI quickly contacts Chief and Liara, "Master Chief, Liara Daisy has found the items we need to coat the ship. Sending you the coordinates to where we are." EDI says
"Roger that EDI we're on our way." Chief replies over the comm
Back at Chief's end Chief looks at Robin, "EDI and Daisy found the equipment. Let's go." Chief says as the two quickly run off.
Meanwhile Liara and Chopper hearing this nod towards each other and also run off to the coordinates to regroup with the others.
After waiting another couple of minutes, Chief and the others soon arrive to the store EDI and Daisy are at both having of brought the items to the front of the store. Chief examines the items which all appear to be gigantic brushes of different kinds.
"Oversized paint brushes? Those are the special items we need?" Chief asks
"Yep these are them alright. Zahahahaha." Daisy says
Chief shakes his head as he then looks at Chopper, "Chopper mind transforming into that Heavy Point form of yours to carry these things. The rest of us will provide you cover just in case we're discovered." Chief says
"On it Chief." Chopper says as he walks forward to the items.
"Heavy Point!" Chopper says to himself quietly as he then changes into his Heavy Point.
Chopper quickly picks up all of the paint brushes able to hold all of them over his shoulder.
"Alright then, let's head back to the rendezvous. With any luck Shepard and the others will have collected all of the resin we need." Chief says as the group exits the store.
…
Back with Shepard's Team…
"Alright Commander, that's all the resin we need." Kikyo says
"Great let's just get that last crate onboard and wait for the Chief's—"
"Shepard you read me?" Chief comes over the comm
"Yeah Chief I read you. Did you get what we needed?" Shepard asks
"Yeah we got the stuff. We'll meet you back at where you dropped us off. Did you collect all of the resin?" Chief asks
"Yeah we got all the resin we needed. Twenty crates full. We'll leave just as soon as we pack this last one onto the TARDIS." Shepard says
As Shepard speaks to Chief on the comm, the last Kuja Warrior with the final crate walks toward the TARDIS carrying the crate in front of her with the top of the lid sealed shut as to not risk any of it spilling out. However just then the bush directly behind her to her right rustles. The Kuja Warrior stops in her tracks and looks back having heard the noise. Just then the bush rustles again gaining the curiosity of the Kuja Warrior who stays where she is and tries to look into the bush to see what's in there. The other Kuja Warrior who accompanied the team looks back at her friend out of curiosity to see what was taking her so long.
"Yoko?" The Kuja Warrior says
The other Kuja Warrior doesn't hear her however and begins getting closer to the bush trying to see what's in there. Finally finding an open area on the bush the warrior peers through it to then see…two blue eyes staring right back at her. The Kuja Warrior gasps in fear knowing what the blue eyes belonged too but is already too late. The Husk jumps out of the bush ramming her down to the ground causing her to scream in agonizing horror catching the others attentions even the attentions of Chief and his team from where they are who look in the direction of where the scream came from and freeze in place.
"What was that?!" Chopper says panicked
The Husk lands on top of the Kuja Warrior as the crate goes tumbling away a couple feet as the Kuja can do nothing but scream in horror as the Husk begins clawing at her stomach sending blood splattering out everywhere as well as killing the snake.
"YOKO!" The other Kuja Warrior yells as she quickly takes out an arrow while her snake changes into a bow and quickly aims at the Husk.
"NO DON'T!" Shepard yells trying to stop her…but it's too late.
The Kuja Warrior releases the arrow which flies into the Husk exploding on contact sending the Husk flying from atop the Kuja Warrior to the ground as smoke comes from where the arrow impacted.
"YOKO!" The Kuja Warrior yells in sadness as she then runs over to her friend.
"Don't—Dammit!" Shepard yells in anger
"I'll get her!" Tigress yells as she runs past Shepard to the Kuja Warrior.
"Shepard what's going on?!" Chief yells into the comm
"We got a situation down here. A Husk just jumped one of the Kuja Warriors, one of them retaliated and shot off one of her Haki embedded arrows.
The Kuja Warrior runs over to her friend and lifts her up her upper body but to find no signs of life in her open eyes as blood drips from her mouth and her stomach torn apart with blood seeping out from it. Tears run down the Kuja Warrior's eyes as she begins to cry over her dead friend as Tigress rushes over to her.
"Hey come on we have to go!" Tigress yells
However as she is about to touch her a high-velocity slug flies out of nowhere and travels through the side of the Kuja Warrior's head as both her and the other dead Kuja Warrior's bodies slump to the ground dead. Tigress freezes in place with her eyes widened in shock.
"Contact!" Garrus yells
Shepard, Garrus and Javik quickly focus to their left flank as they spot Reaper forces begin to appear on the hilltop nearby coming towards them and begin to return fire.
"Everyone into the TARDIS now!" Shepard yells
Without even needing to hear Shepard's order Usopp runs into the TARDIS screaming his head off as following behind him Brook, and the other Kuja Warriors except Kikyo run into the TARDIS as well.
"Don't worry Kikyo we won't leave you're—"
"Leave them Commander." Kikyo says
"What?" Shepard says in shock
"There's nothing more for them that we can do. We'll just tell the Empress that they died taking many of these creatures with them. Let them have that honor at least." Kikyo says
Shepard doesn't make any movement for a couple of seconds but then nods his head, "Thank you Commander." Kikyo says as she then runs to the TARDIS.
Garrus and Javik continue to fire their assault rifles at the oncoming horde of Reaper forces.
"Tigress! We need to go now!" Shepard yells
Tigress continues to be frozen in place with shock on her face, "Tigress!" Shepard yells again snapping Tigress out of it as she looks back at Shepard.
"There's nothing more we can do. Grab the container and let's go!" Shepard yells
Tigress nods her head and quickly rushes over to the container and grabs a hold of it. With haste she runs as fast as possible to the TARDIS as incoming slugs continue to impact all around her kicking the dirt up into the air.
…
Back with Chief's Team…
Hearing the gun fire erupt Chief and the others know immediately that things just got a lot more complicated.
"Everyone to the rendezvous point now!" Chief yells
Just then a slug impacts into the Chief lighting up his energy shields and focusing his attention forward as now Husks, Cannibals and Marauders move towards them.
"Go now!" Chief yells again
Quickly Daisy, Robin and a screaming in terror Chopper begin to run as Chief, Liara and EDI aim their weapons and begin returning fire at the incoming Reaper forces as they begin walking backwards trying to keep the others covered while staying on the move.
Daisy, Robin and Chopper continue running as high-velocity slugs fly all around them. As they continue running three Husks appear out from the alleyway stopping as they exit looking around as they then spot their targets. Acting quickly Daisy preps an arrow and fires hitting one of the Husks in the head as it goes down.
"Dos Fleur!" Robin yells
Two hands appear from the back of the last two Husks necks and grab them by the mouth, "Clutch!" Robin yells as the hands pull back on the Husks bending them backwards breaking their necks and backs as they fall down dead with the three continuing to run past their dead bodies.
Chief, Liara and EDI continue firing their weapons at the incoming Husks managing to take a couple of them down as a couple of shots impact into them draining their kinetic barriers/energy shield. As one Marauder is hit in the head and falls down dead it reveals two Ravagers that begin to target Chief and the others.
"Master Chief it seems we have two Ravagers targeting us." EDI says
"I see them. Time for a tactical retreat those shots will shred us to pieces." Chief says
The Ravagers open fire as EDI and Liara begin retreating while Chief puts up a Hardlight Shield blocking the incoming shots as they explode upon contact of the shield. Immediately as the shots stop Chief drops the shield and begins to make his retreat as more high-velocity slugs fly around him with a few hitting him depleting his shield again. The group of Husks begin to give chase after the group. However out of nowhere the large building in the center on the left side of the street explodes outwards sending debris falling to the ground as then the building opposite of it also explodes outwards sending debris outward. Both buildings debris soon creating a large wall of rubble cutting the Reaper forces off from chasing after the Chief's group.
Chief hearing the explosions behind him turns around as the smoke clears to reveal the wall of rubble that now separates his group from the Reapers giving chase, "What in the world? How did—" However Chief decides to think about it later as he knows he probably doesn't have much time before they begin scaling over it or break through it and continues running.
…
The group of Husks look on in confusion as to why the two buildings exploded and just happened to create the roadblock but forget about it as they need to get after the Chief's team. A couple of Husks run forward in an attempt to climb over the wall when all of a sudden a couple of shots ring out impacting into the Husks and sending sparks flying from them as they then drop down dead. The rest of the Husks look around in confusion and try to locate the attackers when all of a sudden.
"Sorry. But we can't have you ugly bastards stopping the Master Chief and his friends from completing their mission." A male voice calls out
The Husks turn to where the voice came from to then see six figures on a nearby rooftop shrouded by shadow as the sun shines in from behind them. The Ravagers move forward and take aim at the six strangers and open fire at the rooftop. However the six figures jump off the rooftop at the last second as the shots impact as they then fly towards the front of the wall of rubble landing perfectly on their knees with their backs turned towards the Husks except for one who lands on his butt. The six figures then stand back up before then turning around revealing themselves to the Husks.
Five of the figures…appear to be the Megaforce Rangers, however the voice of the one in Red sounds much different and now for the fact that it now seemed that there was a silver ranger too.
"Sorry Reapers but it's going to take a lot more than that to take us down!" The Silver one says with enthusiasm in his voice.
"I think it's time we taught these stupid Husk creatures who they're messing with." The woman in Yellow says
"What Luka said. We came here to give some help to the Commander and his team, let us do that." The woman in Pink says
"Ahhh but do you guys really think we can take on all of these things?" The man in Green asks in a worried tone.
"Hm. Can't be as tough as fighting the Zangyack Empire." The man in Blue says
"Gokai Red." The one known as Gokai Red says
"Gokai Blue." Gokai Blue says
"Gokai Yellow." Gokai Yellow says
"Gokai Green." Gokai Green says
"Gokai Pink." Gokai Pink says
"Goooooooookaiiiiii Silver!" Gokai Silver yells
"Kaizoku Sentai…Gokaiger!" The six members of Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger yell in unison.
The Husks let out a roar of anger and begin their attack as the regular Husks charge forward while the Cannibals and Marauders rush forward as well with their weapons held high towards the Gokaigers.
"Let's make this showy." Gokai Red says as he takes out his Gokai Gun twirling it around in his left hand before then aiming it forward and pulling the trigger firing at the Husks taking two of them down as the rest of his teammates take their guns and sabers out as well and open fire with Gokai Silver taking out his Gokai Spear and transforming it into Gokai Spear Gun Mode and also firing at the Husks taking more of them down.
The Gokaigers soon stop shooting and begin to charge forward to engage the horde of Husks in close quarters fighting.
…
Even though the wall of rubble blocked the main bulk of the Husks off from chasing after the Chief's team, that didn't stop Reaper forces from all over the rest of the area and island to come at them from other directions.
Managing to get back to the hilltop, Chief, Liara, and EDI continued to fire their guns at on-approaching Husks, while Chopper, Robin and Daisy stayed in cover due to not having any shields to protect themselves should they get shot. Chief fired his assault rifle taking down two Marauders as they charged towards the group firing their Phaestons. Immediately as they go down Chief focuses his attention to three oncoming Husks to his ten taking them down with a couple of well-placed shots. Liara and EDI fired their Predator pistols taking down a couple of Cannibals as well as one Ravager with combined shots.
As Chief continues firing his assault rifle he then one hands the assault rifle as he then reaches to the side of his helmet to contact Shepard, "Shepard this is Chief. Do you read me over?"
No response.
"I say again Shepard this is Chief do you read me over?" Chief says again as he fires his assault rifle again taking out another Marauder.
"Shepard if you can read me, we're all at the rendezvous point and awaiting your extraction. Don't know how much longer we're going to be able to hold out. They're coming at us from every direction we could use that extraction now!" Chief says as he aims his assault rifle to his left and firing it taking out three Husks that are just a couple feet from him and a Cannibal.
Just then the familiar sound of the TARDIS's engine is heard as it begins materializing behind Chief, Liara and EDI. As it fully materializes the doors open up as Garrus and Javik come running out giving some assistance to Chief and the others as they fire their weapons towards the Reaper forces just as Shepard follows out immediately after them.
"Come on! Let's go!" Shepard yells as he waves his hand towards the TARDIS.
Chief, Liara and EDI begin backing up slowly towards the TARDIS continuing to fire their weapons as Shepard joins in as well as he fires his Avenger as Chopper, Robin and Daisy quickly run into the TARDIS. As Liara and Javik are the first two to retreat back into the TARDIS Shepard fires his Avenger in short bursts as he focuses his attention on an incoming Husk putting a couple of shots into it taking it down. Garrus and EDI are the next two to retreat into the TARDIS as Chief and Shepard continue firing their assault rifles as the Husks begin closing in all around them with high-velocity slugs flying past them and impacting into the TARDIS and them depleting their kinetic barrier/energy shield. With haste both Shepard and Chief rush back into the TARDIS and shut the doors as the Doctor quickly throws the switches setting the coordinates back to the Thousand Sunny as the TARDIS begins to de-materialize until it fully disappears just as the Husks swarm the area.
…
Back with the Gokaigers, Gokai Red swings his saber upwards a Husk taking it down as he then calmly turns around and raises his gun firing a single shot into a Marauder behind him taking it down as well as sparks fly from it and it goes down. Gokai Blue now wielding two Gokai Sabers slashes across two Cannibals and turns around swinging one of his sabers knocking away a Phaeston and bringing his second saber to the neck of the Marauder holding it there as the Marauder freezes in place before then proceeding to cut the Marauders neck. Gokai Green falls onto his back as he wildly fires his two Gokai guns at incoming Husks and Cannibals taking them down before they can attack him, quickly rolling to his right onto his stomach he then fires both of his guns again taking out three advancing Marauders. Gokai Yellow attaches grappling hooks onto her sabers and begins swinging them all around her taking out any Husks that try to get near her as well as striking a couple of Marauders and Cannibals attempting to get a fix on her with their weapons. Gokai Pink fires both of her guns into two Husks in front of her and looks to her left to see a Husk swing its claw at her to which she quickly ducks under it turning towards the Husk that goes by her and putting a couple of shots into its back.
"Fiiiiiiiiiiinal Waaaaaaaaavvvveee!"
Gokai Silver then jumps up into the air in front of the three Ravagers with his Gokai Spear in hand, "Gokai Shooting Star!" Gokai Silver yells as he then throws his Spear towards the Ravagers which impacts into the one Ravager in the middle causing it to explode taking the other two with it as the spear then returns to Gokai Silver's hands as he lands back on the ground.
Satisfied with his results Gokai Silver then swipes his thumb across his helmet where his nose would be.
"Fiiiiiiiiiiinal Waaaaaaaaavvvveee!"
The Five Gokaigers stand side by side, Gokai Green and Pink aim their guns forward as they flash green and pink, while Gokai Blue and Yellow prepare to swing their sabers forward which also emit their colors, with Gokai Red first aiming his gun towards the Reapers while swinging around his saber preparing to swing it forward as well. Then at the same time Green, Pink and Red fire their guns while Blue and Yellow then swing their sabers forward with Red also swinging his saber forward as well sending forth a slashing energy blast towards the Reaper forces. The energy bullets and slashes impact into the Reaper forces causing a large explosion upon impact taking many of them out in a single attack. Thinking their fight is down the Gokaigers lower their weapons, however as the explosion dies down they soon find a couple of the Reaper forces still alive as the remaining Husks begin to charge towards them with the Cannibals and Marauders forming up to prepare to fire on them.
"Huh these things just don't know when to quit. When it's good for them." Gokai Red says as then he and the other four Gokaigers then press down on the button atop the rectangular box on their belt which then flip open to reveal…Ranger Keys?
"Gokai Change!" The five Gokaigers yell as they then place the Ranger keys into their Mobilates and twist them.
"Turboranger!"
The five Gokaigers transform into Turborangers and then swing their arms backwards as they are then launched forward like they're on wheels speeding past the Husks into the Cannibals and Marauders who explode as they speed past them. Stopping after taking out the Cannibals and Marauders the Husks turn back around and continue charging towards the Gokaigers who then take out a new set of Ranger Keys.
"Gokai Change!"
"Dynaman!"
"Big Explosion!" The Gokaigers yell in unison as they change into the Dynaman getting into their pose as then an explosion goes off behind them taking out the Husks.
Now fully sure that the Husks are all dealt with the Gokaigers revert back to their original forms as Gokai Silver then joins up with them.
"Ahhh come on guys why couldn't you go with the Sentai teams who had sixth members or something. You got all of the fun." Gokai Silver says
"All that matters now is that we at least helped the Commander and his friends escape." Gokai Pink says
"Yeah, well that Commander and his friends better come up with some good money. It's not cheap saving someone else's asses." Gokai Yellow says
"Ehhh but Luka we were supposed to help them to begin with." Gokai Green says
"So Marvelous what now?" Gokai Blue asks
"Huh. Nothing else. We did our part. Now then let's get back to our universe." Gokai Red says as the Gokaigers then begin to walk off.
…
Back on the Thousand Sunny…
The TARDIS re-materializes back on the Thousand Sunny as the rest of Shepard's team, the Straw Hat Crew, and the Pirate Empress and non-injured Kuja Warriors gather around it. The doors to the TARDIS open up as then Shepard and the others step out, as the Doctor is the last to step out Shepard then speaks.
"We got all the resin, twenty crates of it in there."
"And we got the equipment needed to apply it to the ship." Chief says
"Ash, can you and the others begin unloading the crates?" Shepard asks
"No problem Shepard." Ashley says as then her and the rest of Shepard's team head into the TARDIS to unload the supplies.
As they do, Hancock meanwhile takes count of her warriors and notices two of them missing.
"Commander…where are my other warriors?" Hancock asks
At this mention Kikyo and the other Kuja who accompanied Shepard lower their heads in sadness, Hancock notices this and looks back at the Commander who also lowers his head, "They didn't make it." Shepard replies his tone full of sadness.
Hearing this Hancock can only stare in sadness from what she has heard, meanwhile other Kuja Warriors, mostly those who were close friends with the two begin to cry as others try to comfort them and others stare down in sadness.
"I'm sorry." Shepard says
"It's…it's alright Commander. My warriors knew what they were volunteering for. I'm…I'm sure that when they went down at least…they at least took many of those creatures with them." Hancock says
Shepard nods his head, while he knew what truly happen he probably knew it was at best to lie to her that her warriors went out like who they were and not take any of the creatures with them. Besides he knew that the Kuja just like everyone else had gone through a lot, to just tell Hancock and the rest the truth would probably not be such a good idea, if anything it might hurt their morale to know that two of their warriors didn't have any chance of taking any of the creatures with them when they died.
Taking a couple of minutes, Ashley and the others quickly took the crates full of resin outside as well as the items needed to apply the resin to the ship to coat it.
"Alright Shepard that's everything. Now what?" Ashley asks
"Well we need to coat it to the ship now… (turns to the Straw Hats) Do you guys know how to coat a ship? You did it before didn't you?" Shepard asks
"No actually we didn't." Usopp says
"We had friends of ours coat the ship to Fishman Island and out of Fishman Island. The only people who can coat ships are special people called Coating Mechanics." Franky says
"And unfortunately none of us are any experts in it." Nami says
"Doctor?" Shepard asks
"Well why are you asking me? It's not like I've ever had to coat the TARDIS before or anything like that." The Doctor replies
"But a couple of my warriors know how to coat a ship. Mostly those who are a part of my Pirate Crew. We've had to use coating on some occasions before. If my warriors start now and work through the night they can have the coating ready by tomorrow morning." Hancock says
"My apologies Empress but—"
"Commander it is like I said before. You've done a lot to help us and the least we can do is repay you. Besides it's the only choice you have this time." Hancock says
"She does have a point Commander." Garrus says
Shepard once again sighs in defeat knowing that the Empress was right on the matter.
…
Later that Night…
It is now midnight; outside the ship the Kuja Pirates continue their efforts to complete the coating of the Thousand Sunny.
Below the decks of the Thousand Sunny, Shepard asks Po if he'd seen the Doctor to which Po points towards the ladder leading to the Energy Room. Shepard nods his head thanking Po as he then walks towards the ladder with Po heading off in the opposite direction, while it had been a long day and Shepard knew he should probably get some rest until the Kuja were finished coating the ship he first had to talk to the Doctor about something that's been on his mind…the incident back at the palace when Chief lost control and attacked Sanji. While he had heard that Sanji had apologized to the Chief about it which Chief took the apology and apologized himself for his overreaction, he still didn't know what caused the Chief to lose his temper as he had never seen him lose his temper thus far on the mission. He couldn't risk it happening again and if it was something personal, then there were only two people who would know it. The Chief who was still reluctant to reveal much of his personal life, and the Doctor who knew about his past but didn't want to reveal it to Shepard and the others. Shepard respected the Chief; he had proven to be a real asset to the team thus far with his skills in combat and his augmentations…but what happened back on Amazon Lily was something he had never seen from the Chief before not even when Kai Leng beat him was he that angry. He needed to learn more about the Master Chief, he trusted him but he needed to learn everything about him before he can completely trust the Chief. One way or another Shepard needed to learn everything about the Chief, not just his military career, but his life, the SPARTAN's and what could've triggered his anger back on Amazon Lily. He wasn't about to go up to a two ton SPARTAN-II Super Soldier and demand answers that's for sure, he had already messed with the Chief back in his universe and he barely survived that fight but now that they were on a boat and considering the amount of damage he did to just a building…a fight between him and the Chief was probably not a good idea on this ship. The only other person he could go to, to get answers safely without the ship getting torn apart was the Doctor. With any luck he could be convinced.
"Amazing! Who knew that Cola could power things? I mean it can give humans a lit kick and whatnot, but to power a cyborg, a ship, and its powerful cannon and engine. Who could've guessed?" The Doctor says in amazement as he studies the Energy Room and the Cola that powers it.
Shepard arrives at the energy room to then hear the Doctor continue to speak to himself as he leans up against the ladder, "Honestly Cola, who seriously could've thought. Wonder if Cola could be used to power anything? The TARDIS running on Cola Energy? Nooooo, nooo that sounds like a bad one. The Normandy? Hmmm probably a bad idea, people would drink Cola like crazy on there and then there wouldn't be anything left after a week. I wonder…" The Doctor says to himself
Shepard clears his throat getting the Doctor's attention as he turns around, "Oh hey Shepard." The Doctor says
"What are you doing down here Doctor?" Shepard asks
"Oh just fascinating in what powers the Thousand Sunny. Could you believe that barrels of Cola can power the ships engine, cannon, and that duhhh Coup de Burst thing?" The Doctor replies
"Hm it is fascinating really. Not to mention it's also the power source of Franky the Cyborg guy right?" Shepard asks
"Yep that's right." The Doctor replies
"So Shepard, what brings you down here?" The Doctor asks as he examines one of the empty cola barrels
"I…need to talk to you about something." Shepard replies
Hearing this, the Doctor stops smiling and stands back up as he leans forward on the barrel as he knows exactly what Shepard's talking about, "You want to know what happened to the Chief back there in the Palace. You want to learn more about the Chief, his past other than his military career, his personal life." The Doctor says
"How'd you know?" Shepard asks
"I just knew that on one of these missions you'd ask me about the Chief. And after seeing what the Chief did there in the Palace, I'd just knew you'd want to talk to me about it." The Doctor says
"I need to know why the Chief did what he did back there. I've been fighting alongside the Chief through five different universes; even when he was defeated by Kai Leng in combat he didn't lose his temper like he did back there. I've been holding out this long because the Master Chief has proven to be a great asset to this team, but if I still don't fully trust him because I don't know everything about him. How come when it comes to all of the other heroes you've told me everything about them, even the Arbiter. But when it comes to the Master Chief you only tell us about what he did in his war and nothing about his personal life, that he needs to tell us himself when he's ready." Shepard says
"Like I said Shepard there's some that the Master Chief would rather not reveal until he's ready. Some of it like the SPARTAN-II Program because it's top secret, then there's his personal life. Things he doesn't want revealed until he feels like you need to know. Chief's been through a lot Shepard, just like me…and just like you. But some of it…more worse than either of us." The Doctor says
In the hall the Master Chief is walking past the door to the ladder leading down to the Energy Room when he then begins to hear what sounds like Commander Shepard speaking to the Doctor as he then stops in his tracks as he hears Shepard mention his name.
"Doctor I respect the Master Chief but I need to need to know why he did that. I can't have this sort of thing happen again especially if it's for the safety of my team. If he loses his temper like that again and it jeopardizes the mission and puts my team in danger then I'm going to have no choice but to cut him from my team. I need people who be completely calm and be able to control themselves in combat." Shepard says
Hearing what Shepard is saying Chief decides to listen in as he activates his Camouflage, quietly Chief leaps down the ladder hole to the energy room landing without making a sound as he lands on his knees with a hand planted on the ground. Quickly Chief finds cover behind a couple of stacked barrels as he then de-activates his camouflage to continue listening in on the conversation.
"Shepard…you're trending of very thin water. I wish I could tell you, but…well I have a feeling if the Chief found out I told you…well I mean hello he could probably kill me with just a pinky. I don't want to go out getting killed by a pinky Shepard…well a little bit of that but mostly just…you just need to trust me Shepard." The Doctor says
"Doctor I do trust you, if it wasn't for you in the first place we wouldn't be here. I trust the Chief, but there's a little in me that doesn't. Please Doctor, just tell me so that I at least know, none of my other team members need to know, Chief can tell them himself when he feels like it. But as the leader of this team I need to know that I can fully trust everyone. Why can't you tell me?" Shepard says
"…Shepard, you and me both. We've experienced loss before and we know what it feels like…when your closest friends die and there's nothing you can do. They may be gone but at least you still have friends to find comfort in maybe even family…well…that maybe more of your part right there. Chief…Let's just say he's lost many…many of his closest friends and those who he can consider his family." The Doctor says as he decided to relent.
"What do you mean Doctor?" Shepard asks
The Doctor sighs as he prepares to tell Shepard everything, "Perhaps…I should start from the beginning." The Doctor says
Shepard crosses his arms as he begins to listen to the Doctor, "You see…Master Chief…well you obviously probably already know it's not his real name." The Doctor says
Shepard nods his head, "Right, his real name is John. His last name, well huh even I don't know that." The Doctor says
In his head Shepard thinks, "So the Chief has the same first name as me. And I thought we had a lot in common in the first place both of us having saved our respective universes a couple of times."
"Anyways, he lived a normal child's life on the planet of Eridanus II, a planet controlled by the UNSC during their initial colonization of other planets in the beginning before the Human-Covenant War. He had a mother and a father, and had even saved one girl from drowning a childhood friend who he had then promised then and there to marry her and protect her. However he and along with 149 other kids were different from other kids, he stood a head taller than the majority of his schoolmates, had greater physical proportions, and possessed greater strength, superior reflexes, and an aggressive drive for success. They were studied individually each and every one of them by a woman named Dr. Catherine Halsey and a Lieutenant Jacob Keyes. In the end John and 74 other kids all of them five and six-years old were…taken away from their homes and replaced with flash clones. Flash cloning was a medical process used by the humans to clone body parts. The process uses a sample of a human's DNA to grow a cloned organ, which can then be transplanted into the subject that contributed the DNA sample. Flash cloning entire humans was possible but wasn't perfect and if unauthorized illegal. However for the black ops intelligence branch of the UNSC called ONI, it wasn't illegal. After the Spartan candidates were abducted from their homes, they were replaced with flash-clones as part of a cover-up to draw away suspicion. The flash-clones quickly died of natural causes, drawing suspicion away from ONI." The Doctor says
"Wait…they were abducted away from their families at the age of six? That…that's not even…that's wrong!" Shepard says
"It was, but in a way if they hadn't of been abducted…well who knows where that universes Humanity would be." The Doctor says
"Why were they abducted at such a young age?" Shepard asks
"For the SPARTAN-II Program." The Doctor replies as he stands up and looks at Shepard.
…
The Aquarium Room…
Ten Minutes Earlier…
Many Kuja Warriors continue to take care of their wounded while others are off either exploring the ship or in the ships kitchen getting something to eat. With help from Chopper, Liara and EDI all of the critically injured Kuja were able to be saved and all of the injured were now back on their way to being healthy again soon, with just a little rest, food and water they would all be fine soon. However in the back of the room, Sandersonia appeared to have developed a fever as sweat began to run down her forehead and she breathed heavily.
"Sandersonia? Sandersonia!" Marigold yelled in shock as she saw how worse her sister looked.
Hearing Marigold Chopper ran over and could tell from her look that her condition was beginning to worsen, but how was she developing a fever all that happened to her was that she took a beating from a Brute? Taking a beating shouldn't have gotten her sick or anything like that.
"What in the world's going on?" Chopper says to himself
"Chopper everything alright?"
Chopper turns around to see the Chief run over to him with his enhanced hearing having heard Marigold's scream from outside, "I don't know Chief. It looks like she's developing a fever but I don't know how?" Chopper replies
Chief begins to look down her body to try and see if he can spot something, maybe an open wound or perhaps something that could allow an infection into a person and get them sick. Just then Chief spots it, on Sandersonia's right leg a splinter of wood was sticking out of the back of her leg just below the knee as blood ran down it and slowly seeped onto the couch.
Chief walks over and kneels down, "Chopper over here." Chief calls Chopper over.
Chopper rushes over and looks where the Chief is as he carefully turns Sandersonia's leg over so Chopper can see it.
"Could that be causing the fever?" Chief asks
"It could be, depending on how long it's been stuck in her it could have infected her and given her the fever." Chopper says
"Must have been when we got on the ship, a splinter of wood shot outward from enemy gunfire hitting the ships wood and embedded itself into the back of her leg. With all of the pain she was already going through she probably didn't notice it." Chief says
"Most likely." Chopper says as he uses a rag to wipe away the blood running down the side of her leg.
"We need to get it out and then give her some antibiotics. Something that can kill the infection and cure her of the fever." Chief says
"I've used up all of my antibiotics. I don't have anymore." Chopper says
"I have something that can seal up her wound and stop the infection from spreading further. It'll be a temporary thing until we can get to Fishman Island, when we get there perhaps you can find something to give her to cure the fever." Chief says
"What is it?" Chopper asks
"I'll be back, don't take the wood out until I'm back." Chief says as he runs off
Hancock opens the door as the Chief runs by her, she looks back to see her sister's condition and quickly rushes over to her side.
"Sandersonia? What's wrong?" Hancock asks Chopper
"She's developed a fever. The splinter of wood stuck in her leg could've caused an infection, I'm sorry but I've used up all of my antibiotics so I won't be able to cure her right away we'll just have to wait till we get to Fishman Island. The Master Chief went to get something that could seal up the wound and stop the infection from spreading further." Chopper replies
"Will she be alright?" Hancock asks
"If whatever the Chief's getting works, then she'll survive the trip down to Fishman Island until I can get antibiotics to cure her fever." Chopper replies
After waiting for a couple of minutes the Master Chief finally returns carrying what appears to be a cylindrical item in his hand as he rushes over to Chopper and the Empress and her sisters.
"What is that?" Chopper asks
"Biofoam, a self-sealing, space-filling coagulant and also an antibacterial, tissue-regenerative foam polymer. It's my militaries form of first-aid. The foam keeps damaged organs in place and helps stop bleeding and hemorrhaging from wounds such as; lacerations, abrasions, contusions, punctures, thermal and or electric burn wounds. Its effects are temporary however, lasts a few hours before breaking down which is why it's used only as a temporary sealant until proper medical attention can be sought. Trust me this'll have to do for now until we can get the proper medical gear we need." Chief says
Chopper nods his head as Chief then walks towards Sandersonia's leg and signals to Chopper to prepare for him to pull out the splinter of wood as he transforms into Heavy Point to hold Sandersonia down so he can apply the Biofoam.
Chief looks over at the three sisters, "Pulling this splinter out is going to hurt a lot. And the Biofoam will sting a bit when I first apply it. But the pain will go away after a couple of seconds." Chief says
"Just do it." Sandersonia says as she bites down hard on her teeth to prepare for the pain that is most likely to come.
Chief places the Biofoam canister down on the couch and holding down Sandersonia's leg with his right hand while grabbing ahold of the piece of wood with his right hand and with Chopper holding down her other foot. Chief tightens his grip on the splinter of wood and then without a second pulls it right out revealing it to be at least half an inch long as Sandersonia then begins to scream in pain but tries her best not to move, Chief quickly grabs a hold of the Biofoam canister holds the hose end of the canister over Sandersonia's wound which by this time is bleeding like crazy as he then pulls down on the trigger causing green colored foam to shoot out from the hose into her wound causing Sandersonia to cringe in pain as the foam then begins expanding outwards before finally hardening as Chief releases the trigger stopping more foam from coming out of the canister as he then places it down. Chief and Chopper stop holding down Sandersonia and step back as Sandersonia stops cringing in pain and begins breathing normally.
"Amazing, that Biofoam thing of yours is truly outstanding Master Chief. Can you teach me more about it?" Chopper asks
"Perhaps some other time Chopper. I've got other things to attend to. Glad I was able to help, I may not be a trained medical expert like you but I still trained in some medical treatment areas." Chief says as he then begins walking off.
Once again Hancock continues to watch as the Master Chief leaves as her cheeks turn bright red. Just then Sandersonia opens her eyes and looks down at her leg, Chopper however runs over to her, "Hey, take it easy. You shouldn't move around a lot right now. You need some rest." Chopper says
"Thanks Doctor, but I'll be fine for a while. It seems what I've heard from Luffy about your medical skills is very true. I've never met a doctor with your kind of skills before let alone a reindeer." Sandersonia says
"Daahhhhh I…I don't need your comment. You...bastard." Chopper says shyly as he waves his hands from side to side
"(Giggles) I've also heard about strange shyness. You certainly are cute." Sandersonia says
"I uhh…I need to be…somewhere else right now…gotta go." Chopper says as he continues acting shy as he then walks away.
As Chopper walks out of the room, Elder Nyon walks over to Hancock's side and just happens to glance up to see Hancock's bright red cheeks which could only mean one thing…
"Empress are you thinking about Luffy again?"
"Oh my I think I may be falling for that Master Chief fellow. His…quiet demeanor, his bravery, and his selflessness in saving not just me but my sisters as well…just like Luffy. But more…mysterious." Hancock says appearing to be in a daydream as she ignores Elder Nyon.
"What?!" Elder Nyon says in shock
"Sister have you actually fallen for that Master Chief fellow?" Sandersonia asks
"I think I have…ever since he saved me when we escaped I've…I've been having the same feeling I've had when I always see Luffy, but now it seems that whenever I see the Master Chief that feeling also comes up." Hancock says
Sandersonia and Marigold both exchange confused glances, "This is the first time I've heard of an Empress falling for two men. Is that even possible?" Elder Nyon says to herself
"But sis, if you're falling for the Master Chief, then what about Luffy?" Marigold asks
"Ohhh! That's right…what about Luffy, oh no why is it that I've fallen for both of these men? What is it about these two that have made me fall for them?" Hancock says
"Elder Nyon?" Sandersonia asks trying to find out what to do
"Like I've said I've never seen this before. I don't even know if it's possible to get Love Sickness two times in your life?" Elder Nyon says
Meanwhile Hancock begins to have…another one of her fantasy dreams. The background pink with roses with both the Master Chief and Luffy looking away before then both turning and looking at Hancock, Luffy with his…manly face and Chief still wearing his helmet as sparkles float all around them. Back in reality Hancock still has her eyes shut as she continues to have her fantasy dream…
…
The Crow's Nest…
Present Time…
"So…this little thing is a Pop Green?" Garrus asks as he looks at one of Usopp's Pop Green.
"Yep, those little guys pack a lot of punch, well depending on the type I'm using." Usopp replies
In the Crow's Nest/Weight Room, Garrus and Usopp sat atop barrels across from one another, nearby Zoro was on a weight bench lifting up a heavy barbell as he sweated like crazy.
"Huh. Not bad, but uhh I prefer good old fashion high-velocity slugs to get my target. You can't stop them once fired, unlike your pop greens which could be shot out of the air." Garrus says
"True, true no argument there. But I believe that I'm a lot braver than you and I was the former captain of the Usopp pirates a pirate crew consisting of 300,000 men. I think that makes me the better marksmen between the two of us. It's not just about the weapons you know, it's about the person behind it." Usopp says
"Really? Braver than me? So who was the long-nosed person from before back on Sabaody Archipelago who uhh screamed like a girl and ran away as soon as the fighting started?" Garrus says
"Uhhh…" Usopp says being speechless.
"Another thing, you do know that the Doctor told us about all of you right. Including what you guys were before you became a part of the crew. So I know about your supposed "300,000" "pirate" crew." Garrus says
"Well I mean uhh…"
"Also. Do you want to know, how I got this scar right here?" Garrus says acting sadistic to try and scare Usopp as he shows him his scarred side of his face.
"H—How?" Usopp asks
"Well I took a rocket to the side of this face. And I survived it." Garrus says
"You…You survived a rocket explosion?" Usopp asks
"Yep, landed right next to me too. And then when I came back…I came back…a HUSK!" Garrus yells scaring Usopp who yells in terror as he falls backwards off his barrel to the ground causing Garrus to laugh.
"Oh that's a good one. Always wanted to try that on someone. Just couldn't find the…right person to scare." Garrus says
"YOU BASTARD YOU ALMOST GAME ME A HEART ATTACK!" Usopp yells in anger.
"Well in truth all of that except for the last part about becoming a Husk is true. Still yeah I'm the better marksman between the two of us. Not the best, I've seen and tested some other marksman heroes from other universes, in all we're all pretty good and brave. Something I think you need to learn a little bit more about." Garrus says
As Zoro brings the barbell down again he then places it back on the rack and sits up, "Gotta admit Garrus, surviving a rocket and only coming out with half your face scarred, that's makes you alright in my book." Zoro says
"Thanks, but from what I've heard you've survived from. This scar's nothing in comparison to that. You definitely got the scars to prove it that's for sure." Garrus says having heard from the Doctor how powerful Zoro was and all of the beatings he's taken that would've killed normal humans.
"So you don't have any swordsmen in your universe? What everyone wields a gun now and days?" Zoro asks
"Well pretty much, guns have pretty much made swords and spears and all those old weapons obsolete. I mean sure we do have Monomolecular blades in our universe, but you'd have to be a ninja or someone meant for close quarters combat if you don't want to get killed before reaching your target. In which we sorta do have "ninja" like people who use the blades. But I mean none of them going all three sword styled and what not. I'm guessing mastering using three swords wasn't exactly easy? Two it sounds like it could be easy, but then a third one in your mouth? That's gotta be hard." Garrus says
"Heh it did take me a couple of years to master three-sword style but once I did. Well let's just say no one's been able to best me in sword fights. Well except for one man that is." Zoro says
"Oh yeah, the Doctor told me about him as well Dracule "Hawk-Eyes" Mihawk or something like that? The greatest swordsmen in your entire world?" Garrus says
"Yeah that's him. But soon that title will belong to me, one day I will best him and my dream will be complete." Zoro says
"Well good luck with that. And what was yours Usopp? Become the best sniper in the entire world?" Garrus asks
"Well that's one of my dreams. To become the true sniper king, but my other dream includes becoming a brave warrior of the sea like my father. And my other dream, to visit Elbaf and see the warrior giant's I've idolized." Usopp says
"Well I'd say you've almost completed two of them." Garrus says
"What about you Garrus? Do you or any of your teammates have dreams?" Usopp asks
"My dream? Huh you know none of us have any "dreams" like the ones you guys have. If I did, well it'd probably just survive and kick the Reapers asses. Nothing much else really, if anything find a girl…"
"Which I have." Garrus thinks off in his head
"And well settle down, have a family and live a peaceful long life." Garrus says
"Really? None of you guys have ever had to think of dreams before?" Usopp asks
"Well we've all had dreams I guess. Though if anything it was just childhood dreams which we've all in a way completed. Most likely Shepard, Ashley and James dreams were to join the Systems Alliance Military, mine was to become a good C-Sec Officer, Tali probably to help her people out and maybe have a good adventure and make friends or, Liara well first she was an archeologist though a little of her still is. Now she's the Shadow Broker, an information person. EDI and Javik…honestly I don't know if those two have a dream." Garrus says
"We've never really thought of it the way you guys do." Garrus says
"Huh you guys really should. I mean if you haven't already completed those dreams that is or something." Usopp says
"Well like I said, the only dream I have right now is to survive and kick Reaper ass." Garrus says
…
Thousand Sunny's Library…
"So Liara, from what I've heard from some of your friends you are a archeologist, just like me?" Robin asks
In the Library of the Thousand Sunny, Liara and Robin sit at the same table across from each other trying to get to know each other better. On the table both of them with a cup of coffee in front of them and a pot of more in the middle of the table.
"Yes, that's right. Or in a way I was." Liara replies
"Was?" Robin asks
"I've become an information broker. While there's still a little bit of an archeologist left in me I'm mostly now all about information trading. I'm also the head of an expansive organization which trades in information called the Shadow Broker. I position I took when me and Shepard took down the last one. Unlike the previous Broker I've been using my position to help Shepard in his fight against the Reapers." Liara says
"And what exactly did this Shadow Broker have at his disposal before and how powerful is it?" Robin asks
"The Shadow Broker was all about trading information that he seemed to have on anyone and everyone no matter who they were and selling them to the highest bidder. People used this information to either go after someone they wanted dead, political people could use them to ruin another politician's reputation. There's many things the Shadow Broker could do as long as it involved information. And how powerful you ask, let's just say that if I used the information network…I could start a war…in just ten minutes." Liara says
"My, that's some power you have at your disposal." Robin says
"Like I said though, I haven't abused my position as the Shadow Broker, I'm using it to actually help benefit our universe. Especially now in its time of peril." Liara says
"So what were you into when you were an archeologist?" Robin asks
"I was mostly into discovering more about Javik's race, the Protheans. Mostly what happened to them, and why they mysteriously seemed to disappear 50,000 years ago, which we've already found out why." Liara says
"I bet with an entire galaxy and many different planets to explore you went to many places." Robin says
"You could say that." Liara replies as she then has a drink of coffee
"What about you? You're the archeologist of the Straw Hats. What were you trying to learn more about?" Liara asks
"Hmm...Well in my world, there's this long period of history that has become known as the Void Century. A century-long gap in recorded and archaeological history, the study of which is forbidden by the World Government and which occurred 800 to 900 years ago. This period became known as the Void Century because there is nothing left to acknowledge anything that happened in it, aside from the Poneglyphs which are written in a language that few know how to read." Robin says
"Poneglyphs?" Liara asks
"Mysterious stone blocks with history inscribed on them in the form of strange letters. They are scattered among the islands of the Grand Line. The blocks have no real power themselves; however, the words they contain have the power to change the world. Each one tells a piece of history long forgotten. This history includes mentions of three weapons of mass destruction: Pluton, Poseidon and Uranus. There are two types of Poneglyphs: those that carry information about how to reach the other Poneglyphs and those that carry the records of the "True History". Only when the stones are read as one will they fill in the Void Century of the world. In the eyes of the World Government, they are dangerous artifacts and despite declaring the stones dangerous because of the weapons, the reality is that the ideals of the fallen Kingdom written on some of the stones are far more dangerous than any of the weapons." Robin says
"The Doctor mentioned some of this when he was telling us each and every one of you. You're the only one who can read these Poneglyphs and it's become your mission to read all of them as an archeologist and find out about the Void Century. (Then lowers her head in sadness) Which…is what lead to the destruction of your island and the death of all of the islanders, as well as your friends and mother." Liara says
Robin stops drinking her coffee as she then places it back down on the table and closes her eyes, "Yes. The World Government destroyed my home island because the scholars who lived on the island could read the Poneglyphs. My mother was among them who perished. I was the only survivor and the World Government couldn't allow me to survive, which is why I received a high bounty at such a young age, because the World Government made up a story so I couldn't tell people what really happened on the island and why it was destroyed and its people killed. However it doesn't matter, that's my dream to find out why the Void Century is such the secret it is. And with Luffy and the others. Perhaps that could happen." Robin says
"Yes, the Doctor also told us about how every you went you could never find true friends. But Luffy and the others were the people who you just needed when they rescued you." Liara says
"(Nods her head) Hmm. And I will always be in gratitude of what Luffy and the others did for me on that one day. As one old friend of mine said, "Someday you will meet brave friends who will protect you." And I have." Robin says
…
Meanwhile in the Kitchen of the Thousand Sunny…
Sanji is doing what he does best, cooking food. In the dining room many Kuja Warriors sit at the table or lie down against the wall starving having gone through a hard, long day. Assisting Sanji, Tigress helped pass the food out to all of the starving Kuja Warriors who like many other people before liked Sanji's food. Tigress walks back to the kitchen and begins to wait for Sanji to finish up more of his cooking, with the Kuja Warriors in the dining room fed Tigress and Sanji planned on bringing food to the rest of the Kuja Warriors in the Aquarium Room, The Empress and her sisters, as well as Shepard and the rest of his team, the Doctor and the rest of the Straw Hats.
As Tigress leaned up against a wall she decided to talk to Sanji, "Got to admit, you have some powerful legs. From what I've seen you do in combat, is that all you use are your legs?" Tigress asks
"Yeah. It's something an old friend of mine taught me. Being a cook I can't have my hands get injured otherwise I wouldn't be able to cook. Which is why I fight my enemies using only my feet. It's known as Black Leg Style, a special type of martial art fighting style which relies only on the legs." Sanji replies
"And what about when your legs start burning up? What's that?" Tigress asks
"Diable Jambe, its part of my fighting style where I can heat up my leg adding extreme heat to the impact of his kicks and thus burning my opponent." Sanji replies
"Wouldn't something like that have repercussions to using a lot?" Tigress asks
"It used to…but after spending two years in Hell those things don't affect me any longer." Sanji says
"Oh yeah, the Doctor told us about your…"hell" that you went through." Tigress says
"Yes, it truly was hell, and I hope I never have to go through it again." Sanji says
"So what about you? I noticed you have some pretty powerful attacks out there as well." Sanji asks
"In my universe, the main thing everyone knows about is Kung Fu. Me, Po and four of our other friends are all trained and well versed in the art of it each of us with our own different fighting styles. Mine for example is the Tiger fighting style, where I rely on powerful, strong, firm, and aggressive attacks. I was the first of the group to be trained by our master, the others came along as the years went by until then there were five of us and we took on the title The Furious Five. The new Furious Five that is, continuing the duty of the previous ones who came before us to protect China. Po came much later on when he was chosen to be a legendary warrior who was to protect all of China known as the Dragon Warrior. He doesn't look like the guy and sometimes doesn't act like it…but if I could compare him to anyone I'd say he's just like your Captain. Kinda…light-hearted, always thinking about food, lazy…"
"Sounds like a spitting image of our Captain." Sanji says
"Huh probably could be. The two could be Alternate Universe versions of each other…wonder if that's even possible…but back to what I was saying, but does know when to get serious when the time is right." Tigress says
"Yep definitely sounds like a spitting image of Luffy." Sanji says
"But, over the more recent years he's begun to mature. Not by much but a little bit and the warrior he was chosen to be. Still though there are times I question why he was chosen. Not as much as before." Tigress says
"So in your universe, there aren't any humans?" Sanji asks
"No, in our universe I guess animals have taken on the mantle of humanity there. Makes me actually wonder where our people will go as the future comes. Wonder if we might be like the Chief's universe or Shepard's…who knows what our future could hold." Tigress says
"Same goes for our universe, I wonder what it's going to be like. Once Luffy becomes the Pirate King and finds One Piece, who knows what's going to happen to this world." Sanji says
"Well anyways, foods ready. Should probably get to work getting this food out to the others." Sanji says as he begins putting the food in bowls and on plates.
"So from what I've heard from some of your crewmates, you're a really good cook. Make some of the best food around." Tigress says
…
Franky's Workshop…
"Phew. Man after a long day like today I really need a recharge on Cola." Franky says as he opens up his chest revealing the refrigerator compartment where he keeps his cola bottles that fuel him and his attacks.
As Franky takes out the Cola bottles and grabs the new batch to recharge him, nearby James and Ashley disassemble their weapons and go about checking them and cleaning them piece by piece.
"You know, I know Cola can give people a little boost to keep them up sometimes, but how in the hell did you make cola into an energy source to power your body and weapons, and some of the features of the Sunny?" James asks
"Cause that's how I developed the stuff. If I needed something to keep me fueled and was easy to acquire what else then Cola? It's cheap, available all over the place and hey if I can make it be my fuel then I will." Franky replies
"Got to say though, we've done a little look-up on the weapons you posses with that cyborg body of yours, courtesy of the Doctor's infinite library of his in the TARDIS. You got some advanced stuff that's for sure. That…what do you call it, the Radical Beam?" Ashley says
"Franky Radical Beam baby, and don't forget it. Ow!" Franky says
"…Right. Anyways, and the stuff you've built like that tank of yours, the gigantic motorcycle.—"
"And to top it all of you can have those two things form together to create this super mega robot thing or whatever. Dude you're literally almost far ahead of anyone here maybe in terms of technology." James says
"Yeah well what can I say. I'm just that good." Franky says
"Yeah, now if you could create something that could take out a Reaper Capital ship in like one hit." Ashley says
"Hey after seeing what those things are capable off and the hit they can take. I can seriously say that I wish I could create something to take those things down in one hit. Maybe if I could get a hold of their technology or something I could try to make something." Franky says
"Not a good idea. The only way you're getting their tech is from a dead Reaper itself, and even if you do then you have the problem of it indoctrinating you." James says
"Oh yeah, I remember you guys mentioned to us when we first met about that whole indoctrination thing. Man that seriously sucks. If only we didn't have that problem then all we would need to do is find a dead Reaper salvage its tech and boom we could maybe actually fight these guys on their level on firepower." Franky says
"I have a feeling you're not going to be finding a lot of them in your universe." Ashley says
"You kidding, trust me when this first started we heard how even if there were thirty Marine ships attacking one Reaper ship and they were blasting it with everything they had they still got annihilated, thing didn't even have a single scratch when the battle was over." Franky says
"You should see the universes we've been too so far and ours and the Chiefs. The ancient universes we've been too are only holding out because of some good places they've found to hide from the Reaper ships. But none of them have the weapons or firepower capable of taking down even one Reaper Capital Ship. In ours and the Chief's we have the ships and firepower but those guys have tough armor and their weapons can cut through our ships like nothing." James says
"If that's the case then do you guys really think that gathering all of the Heroes and Armies of Good together might actually be enough to stop the Reapers?" Franky asks
"Well so far we've only been to seven universes, counting yours eight. Two of which are advanced like us, but then the other five which are the ancient universes. We've gathered some powerful looking allies and we've seen what the other heroes are capable off. But I hope that we can soon start getting in some actual firepower, more advanced ships like ours, armies who actually have guns at least and some really powerful heroes. But from what we've heard from the Doctor even with the eight universes we've been too. We're not even halfway done with our mission. We got a whole lot more universes to go to. Hopefully they can wield some powerful armies and heroes." Ashley says
"No kidding. Let's just hope that the Reapers and Cerberus don't mess up our mission too much." James says
"They haven't messed us up that hard yet. We've still managed to get all of the heroes from the universes we've been too and haven't lost a single one, sure we've had some close calls but we've still managed to come out on top. Sure our allies are the ones who've taken the major beating. But they're still managing to help us out." Ashley says
"I just can't wait to meet these other heroes and see what they're capable off. Just seeing what you guys can do, as well as the Master Chief and you're two other friends from another universe. Huh it'll be SUPER to meet other heroes." Franky says
…
In Chopper's Office…
"So this stuff is the Medi-Gel you guys use?" Chopper asks as he observes as EDI applies it to a wounded Kuja Warrior.
"That's correct Doctor Chopper." EDI replies
"Wow, first the Master Chief's Biofoam and now your guys Medi-Gel. There's so much cool medical equipment you guys have and is really helpful by the looks of it." Chopper says
"They are good first-aid items to have on the field of battle. They can take care of a wounded persons wounds or injuries until they can receive proper medical attention." EDI says
"Is there any chance you can teach me how to use this stuff?" Chopper asks
"To use the Medi-Gel you require one of these however." EDI says as she then activates her Omni-Tool and shows it to Chopper.
"I've been seeing you and the rest of your team use that. What is it?" Chopper asks
"An Omni-Tool. Omni-tools are multipurpose diagnostic and manufacturing tools as well as computers used for a variety of civilian and battlefield tasks. They have many uses such as a Flashlight, Scanner, Repairing items, Dispensing Medi-gel, Programming and hacking, Camera, Video, audio and holographic communication, Downloading and playing video games, Converting items into Omni-gel, manufacturing objects in real time and there are some military uses for it as well." EDI says
"Whoa! All of that sounds really cool. Where can I get one?" Chopper asks
"To get one you would need to be back in our universe. We did not bring any others with us as we did not expect someone else to ask for one." Javik says as he leans against the wall by the doorway.
"Aw man. But seriously I can't wait to get one and learn how to use it because it seriously looks awesome!" Chopper says
…
Meanwhile in the Bathroom of the Thousand Sunny…
The bathroom is full of hot steam which floats all over the bathroom, in the bathtub Nami relaxes in hot water with bubbles around her as she relaxes from the long day they had all been through. Meanwhile in the same room, sitting down against the wall by the doorway Tali also relaxes from the long day of fighting. Both women sigh in relaxation as Nami then decides to speak to Tali since they were both in there.
"Say Tali, you know you can take that suit off right. We're both women so I don't see much of a problem seeing you naked or anything. Besides how else are you going to feel the full relaxation of this hot water and steam?" Nami says
"It's alright Nami. Besides I can't take my suit off, but even then just sitting here is relaxing enough and I can feel a bit of the hot steam." Tali says
"Why can't you take that suit off?" Nami asks
"Unfortunately my race's biology has a weak immune system. My people are only used to the environment of our planet, whenever we leave it and go anywhere else we need to wear these enviro-suits to protect us from disease or infection if we're injured. Our immune systems have always been relatively weak, as pathogenic microbes were comparatively rare in our homeworld's biosphere. Also what few viruses and other microbes were native to our homeworld were often at least partly beneficial to us, giving us a symbiotic relationship with our environment." Tali says
"So what you can't ever leave that suit outside of your homeworld?" Nami asks
"A Quarian who wishes to remove their suit must take antibiotics, immuno-boosters, herbal supplements, or the like in order to do so safely, and even then there are inherent risks. I haven't taken any of the sort but like I said even then there are some risks to doing it still." Tali says
"Geez, must be a rough life for you and your people then when you're not on your homeworld." Nami says
"Oh trust me Nami, you have no idea." Tali says
"If anything you're lucky that you don't have to deal with some of the idiots that I have to on this ship." Nami says
"Who are you talking about?" Tali asks
"Pretty much all of the men, literally all of them are idiots, only me, Robin and Chopper are the only smart ones here. Luffy who only thinks about food and is constantly getting us into trouble, Zoro with his horrible sense of direction, Sanji and his love sickness over every girl he sees, Usopp who's a coward most of the time when it comes to fighting, Franky and the way he tries to amaze everyone with his stuff and then Brook asking every chance he gets to see me or Robin or any other girls panties." Nami says
"Well if they're idiots and you hate them, why are you with them?" Tali asks
"Well…because they're the good kind of idiots. They all mean well a lot of times. But still their idiocy can get annoying a lot of times. But still, Luffy, Zoro, Sanji and Usopp helped me out a long time ago with a personal problem, Brook and Franky…well those two are a part of this crew and they have also saved me sometimes as well just like the others. I have no problem with Chopper or Robin, Choppers who he is. He's kind, helpful and he's been a great help to this group as the Doctor. Couldn't off asked for a better doctor that's for sure. And Robin's like a big sister to me so I definitely don't have any problem with her. We're a crew, we're all friends so why those guys are idiots, they're still my friends. That's why I'm still with them, and because I know that by being by their side will I only be able to complete my dream of drawing a map of the entire world." Nami says
"Wow, that's definitely something." Tali says
"So you don't have any problems with any of your teammates or anything like that?" Nami asks
"No, we're all really good friends. We all look out for each other and cover each other's backs. When all of us work together and with Shepard at the lead, no one can stop us." Tali says
"Huh, sounds like you guys are all real close." Nami says
"You have no idea how close some of us are to each other." Tali says to herself.
…
Back in the Energy Room…
Shepard sits down on a barrel after having just heard all he needed to about the Master Chief…and needed a moment to relax from what he'd just heard. To think of what Chief's been through with his life, having never really get to have a normal life, being kidnapped from his parents at such a young age, the dangers he went through to become a SPARTAN-II, the dangers the augmentations could cause if they went wrong…Chief really had been through a lot in his life, even more then Shepard. All of that, topped with fighting in a war that lasted for nearly 30 years was definitely something. But then to have heard about what happened to those who were his only and closest friends, such as the "gung-ho" sergeant major Avery Johnson who Shepard could compare to Admiral Anderson in a way, the naval officer Captain Keyes and his daughter Miranda Keyes and then…perhaps his closes friend ever the AI known as Cortana. And not to mention his only family which were all of the SPARTAN-II's many of who were killed during the Human-Covenant War, and maybe perhaps a few who could've survived but most likely were fighting the battle in their universe. Shepard now understood why the Chief lost it back there.
Shepard knew that he had lost many friends in the recent years such as Mordin, Legion, Thane and Kaiden. But he still at least had friends left. Chief was pretty much almost alone, he could tell that he had some kind of friendship with Captain Lasky and perhaps Sarah Palmer but not as much as compared to the ones he had lost. But then to keep all of that sadness and anger bottled up, it amazed Shepard for sure. Chief really had been through a lot and lost many of those who were close to him.
"Now you know why I shouldn't have been the one to tell you Shepard. Why Chief should've been the one to tell you and he should be allowed to wait for the right time to tell you. The Master Chief's been through a lot Shepard. Which is why you should give him some privacy. Cortana was the closest friend Chief had, they had been through a lot and then when she died. A part of him died with her." The Doctor says as he sits down on a barrel as well tapping his fingers together.
"I'm…I'm sorry Doctor. I just didn't think that he'd been through that much. Fighting through a war that nearly lasted 30 years was tough enough, but then to add all of that in as well. It's just…just a lot." Shepard says
"Just…be careful what you say around the Chief. As you saw back there, the Chief does have a nerve that if you strike it…then he'll lose control just like anyone else who's nerve is struck. He needs more time to recuperate from Cortana's loss." The Doctor says
"Don't worry Doctor. I'll keep my end of the bargain, I won't tell anyone else no matter what. I've always respected the Chief no matter what, this doesn't change that. I still respect him and he's a good friend and ally." Shepard says
"Well then, now that we're done here. We should (lifts his arm up as his sleeve falls back to reveal his watch as he then lowers his arm down in front of him and examines the watch) head back up to the deck. Kuja Warriors should be finished with their coating by now I think." The Doctor says
"Right behind ya." Shepard says as the two then head for the ladder.
As the two head up the ladder, Chief still hiding behind the barrels stands there looking down, Chief then goes for one of his armor's pockets and pulls out Cortana's Data Chip. Chief looks at it for a couple of seconds before then closing his hand and then putting it away.
…
Back on the Deck of the Thousand Sunny…
Chief opens the door leading back to the deck as he sees many of the Kuja Warriors, Hancock, Luffy and his crew and Shepard and the others gathering on the deck. The sun has begun to rise into the sun in the horizon.
"The coatings all done." Ran says
"That's good to know. (Turns to Luffy and his crew) So you guys know how to start it up and steer it right?" Shepard asks
"Don't worry about that part Shepard. We can handle that." Nami says
"Hey Franky!" Nami yells
"On it!" Franky replies with a thumbs up as he jumps into the water.
"Alright, raise the anchors! Raise the sails! Let's get to Fishman Island!" Luffy yells in excitement
"Yeah!" The rest of the Straw Hat Crew yell in excitement
Quickly the anchors keeping the ship in place are brought up from the sea, Brook and Sanji climb to the top grabbing a hold of the rope that keeps the sails up. Both of them then jump down from the top releasing the sail as it flies open. Just then the resin surrounding the ship begins to expand outwards, as the resin on the poles, sails and flag expand out only a few feet, the resin covering the deck expands outwards soon going completely over the people on the deck expanding out till it stands a couple of centimeters above them. Franky climbs back onto the boat as the Straw Hats regroup on the deck.
"Alright let's go!" Luffy yells
As if on cue the Thousand Sunny then dips forward diving under the water, the ship begins to descend downwards towards the ocean.
"Whoa." Po says in awe
Po, Tigress and the rest of Shepard's team look upwards as they can see the brightness of the sun begin to dance on the water's surface as rays of light shine through the water lighting up a couple of miles of the underwater vastness of the ocean.
"Beautiful." Liara says
"What a sight." Tali says
"So now what?" Shepard asks
"We don't have anything else we need to do. From here on the currents will take the ship to Fishman Island. We can just relax and let the currents do their work." Nami says
"(Yawns) Well I don't know about any of you. But I'm really tired. Considering how we all stayed up throughout the night, I think since we don't have to do anything else we should just take a nap until we get there." Po says
"You know, that's the most logical thing you've said since we've got here Po." Tigress says
"He actually is right. We all need a rest from what happened yesterday. EDI mind keeping on watch?" Shepard asks
"Of course Commander, I do not need sleep and will gladly keep watch of the ship. Should we encounter any problems I can simply steer the ship out of harm's way, but if it's something more serious I will wake all of you immediately." EDI says
"Thanks EDI. Alright everyone, catch a rest. I think we all deserve it." Shepard says
…
A Couple of Hours Later…
Time goes by, EDI continues to stand on watch on the deck of the Thousand Sunny. In the Aquarium Room and Library, the survivors of Amazon Lily rest peacefully; meanwhile below the decks on the first floor in the men's quarters, the male members of the Straw Hats as well as the male members of Shepard's team all sleep with the Straw Hats taking rest on their respective bunks while Shepard and his teams make use of sleeping bags handed to them as they take rest on the floor. In the woman's quarters on the second floor, Nami and Robin sleep on their respective bed while the females of Shepard's team also rest on the ground using sleeping bags. Back in the men's quarters, Shepard continues to sleep as the loud snores of a couple of the Straw Hats is heard while his team members remain quiet in their sleep. Just then Shepard begins to moan as he then turns on his right side as he then begins to have another dream.
…
Shepard opens his eyes as he finds himself standing in a large, open, barren land with large piles of rubble and what appear to be destroyed vehicles on either side of the large barren land. Before him lies the Conduit as a bright blue light shoots out from it into the sky.
"Am I on Earth?" Shepard says to himself in his head.
Just then Shepard looks directly in front of him to then see…a HUGE army sized force in front of him, from where he stands he is able to make out, Kai Leng at the front of the large army standing in the middle of two other figures shrouded in shadow and behind him an army comprising of what appears to be Cerberus troops, all of the different Husks, the enemy troops him and his team faced back in Po's universe such as the Uruk-Hai, Orcs, Evil Men, Darkspawn, Wolves, Covenant Remnants, Empire Remnants...and many more figures the likes he has never seen before. However considering what he's seeing Shepard can only guess that perhaps those other strange people with Kai Leng are perhaps the allies that they've managed to gather from throughout the Multiverse. Shepard then looks to his right to see the Master Chief standing by his side as he stares towards the large army of the Forces of Evil, Shepard then looks behind him to see the rest of his teammates as well as all of his former teammates…but then takes notice of many other figures standing behind him and the Chief, side by side and behind his friends. Shepard immediately knew that perhaps he was staring at the army of Heroes that he and his team had managed to gather to fight against the Reapers…and boy was there a lot. But Shepard then looks back at the enemy force and then back at the army of heroes…the heroes were outnumbered. From what he could tell it seemed that many foot soldiers from the armies of evil were fighting alongside all of the villains that Cerberus and the Reapers had gathered with them while it was just the Heroes on their side, no foot soldiers from any of the armies of good to fight alongside them. However as he looked at the army of heroes he could see on the faces of the many heroes (who weren't wearing something that masked their face) determination on their face, as if even though they were outnumbered they were going to give the Forces of Evil everything they got.
Shepard continued to stare at the army of heroes taking note of many of the figures being ones who had appeared in his vision before back on the Normandy before all of this began; such as many people humans by their looks all wearing different colored suits of some kind with different looks and helmets, other humans males by their looks wearing strange armor the likes he'd never seen before, large gigantic robots, strange looking creatures about the same size of the robots one of them looking like a red and gold humanoid dragon with a chest embedded in its chest, even more anthropomorphic animals such as four humanoid turtles, one group of consisting of a lion, an eagle, a crocodile, a gorilla, a wolf, a rhino, a bear and a raven, a young and short boy wearing a red coat standing next to what appeared to be a suit of armor…
All of a sudden Shepard soon found himself begin to float off the ground, as he did he then found himself…looking at himself but like the Chief and the other heroes staring towards the army of the forces of evil. Floating high into the air Shepard soon found himself hovering high above the ground getting an aerial view of both the outnumbered army of heroes and the larger sized forces of evil army. All of a sudden Kai Leng brought his Monomolecular Blade back and then swung it forward.
"ATTACK!" Kai Leng yells as then the forces of evil roared and yelled out as they began charging forward towards the army of Heroes as Kai Leng and the two other figures stood idly by letting their forces and allies run by them.
Shepard then looked back at the army of Heroes as he then saw himself turn back around facing towards the charging enemy forces as if he had said something to the army of heroes.
"Let's do this! For the MULTIVERSE!" Shepard yells at the top of his lungs as he in then joined in by all of the other Heroes as they yell out raising one of their arms into the air.
"CHARGE!" Shepard yells once again as he raises his right arm forward in a balled up fist as the Heroes all let out a yell once again as many of them get into their respective fighting stances while doing so as then Shepard, the Chief and every single Hero begin charging forward towards the oncoming enemy forces.
Shepard watches as now both sides are now charging towards each other, himself and the Chief continue to lead the heroes as they charge in as every hero charges forward behind them, some running more faster than others but with everyone running to their fullest ability, many heroes charging in with their weapons already out at the ready and many others who have yet to draw their weapon or have no weapon. Some of the heroes having taken to the air as well as some of the enemy forces as well. Shepard continues to watch as both sides get closer…and closer to each other and just as they are about to collide…
…
Shepard opens his eyes and darts upward breathing at a normal pace. Shepard continues to breathe as he then feels like he is being watched. Looking to his right he notices the Master Chief sitting against the wall with his arms laid down on his knees. Shepard then also looks to see not only the Chief's sleeping bag empty, but the Doctor's as well.
"Doctor decided to head back to the deck and sight see for himself." Chief says catching Shepard's attention back to him.
"Can't sleep?" Shepard asks
"I got all the rest I needed, besides we should be arriving soon. Decided to wake up early to make sure I was all prepped and ready to go." Chief replies
Shepard smirks and then standing up, walks over to the side of the Chief before then laying against the wall and sliding down to sit on the floor next to the Chief.
"So, what was that all about?" Chief asks
"What was what all about?" Shepard replies
"You were thrashing around in your sleep, having a dream or something?" Chief asks
"(Lays his head up against the wall and looks up to the ceiling) Hard to tell if I was dreaming or having a vision." Shepard replies
"This happen to you a lot?" Chief asks
"You have no idea. Though considering what I was seeing, could've been a vision." Shepard says
"What'd you see?" Chief asks
"Well, I saw me and my team. You, Po, Tigress, the rest of their friends, Luffy and the rest of his crew, Aragorn and the other heroes we've gathered so far, Kai Leng…I think I was having a vision about the final battle." Shepard says
"Why do you think that?" Chief asks
"Because, it wasn't just us. But us and the army of heroes that we're gathering together. We were all there standing alongside heroes from across the Multiverse on my Earth. Before us, was Kai Leng, Cerberus, the Reapers and what I'm guessing were all of their allies that they'd gather as well, all of them protecting the Conduit. The army of heroes, we were outnumbered 3 to 1, it was just us and all of the heroes, facing off against Kai Leng, the villains from across the multiverse that they'd gathered as allies, as well as hundreds of different and various foot soldiers from what I'm guessing are from the armies of evil that they gathered as allies. We were all outnumbered, but what I saw on the faces of all of the heroes…who weren't wearing masks or helmets…determination…the will to fight even though we were outnumbered. I think I really saw the final battle, the battle to end it all. But whether we won it or not, I didn't see." Shepard says
"You really think it was a vision?" Chief asks
"The last time I had something like that, it came true…the Reapers returned. Trust me it was a vision." Shepard says
"A vision of the final battle to determine the future of the Multiverse. Must've been interesting." Chief says
"It was interesting, even though I didn't get to see any fighting. But if it is true and we do become outnumbered in the final battle…makes me wonder if we have a chance of winning the battle." Shepard says
"We'll win that battle Shepard. I know we will." Chief says
"Huh…let's just hope your right Chief." Shepard says
Just then a loud siren like sound begins to emanate from the Sunny's speakerphones. The siren is loud and continuous and ear piercing as Shepard and the Chief both cover their ears and groan in annoyance and pain as the sound also wakes up the rest of the guys as they all cover their ears and yell in pain, in the women's quarters Ashley, Liara, Tali and Tigress cover their ears and yell in pain as Nami holds her pillow over her ears while Robin covers her ears but remains calm but also annoyed. The Kuja Warriors as well as the Empress and her sisters are also awoken as they all cover their ears and wince in pain from the ear-piercing siren.
"Wakey, wakey everyone rise and shine. Come on now Allons-Y everyone get on up." The Doctor says into the loudspeaker.
"AHHHH WILL SOMEONE SHUT THAT THING UP!" James yells in annoyance.
"Oh whoops the sirens still on should probably turn my screwdriver off now." The Doctor says to himself but is overheard on the speakerphone.
At long last the siren ceases as everyone stops groaning/yelling/wincing in pain and put their arms down.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, Panda's Tigers, and Reindeers we have reached Fishman Island." The Doctor says
"I say again we have reached Fishman Island. Or more like we're near it, it's in sight but haven't quite reached it. But still…we're here!" The Doctor says over the speakerphone.
Hearing this everyone begins to get up, everyone begins stretching their limbs to wake themselves and their bodies up.
…
The Straw Hats all change out of their sleeping gear back into their normal clothing, as Shepard, James and Ashley put their armor back on having taken it off and slept in their battle dress uniforms with everyone else having slept in what they were wearing. On the first floor, the men walk out of the quarters with Luffy and Usopp still half asleep, meanwhile as the women exit their quarters Nami looks angry.
"Man when I get my hands on that Doctor guy I'm going to charge him so much for waking us up like that." Nami says in anger.
"He seriously couldn't off just woken everybody up by just talking into the loudspeaker. That sound could've created a crack in my helmet." Tali says
"You kidding I'm lucky I'm not deaf from that thing." Ashley says
…
Shepard and the others walk out onto the deck to find the Empress, her two sisters and all of the Kuja Warriors out on the deck with Sandersonia leaning on her sister Marigold for support keeping her bad leg up as the Kuja Warriors who are injured but can walk standing while the others with leg injuries or in too much pain being helped by their friends Shepard, his team, Chief, Po, Tigress, Luffy and his crew all walk to the front of the ship joining EDI and the Doctor as they all stare towards what lies ahead of them…Fishman Island.
…
Going right through the bubble surrounding Fishman Island, the Thousand Sunny is docked near the shore where many other ships are seen floating above the water that surrounds Fishman Island and lies inside the bubble.
"Huh. Lots of refugee and pirate ships here. But I'm not seeing a single Marine ship anywhere." Sanji says
"Gee you'd think that with this place being a major refugee island there'd be Marine ships here, lots of them. Wonder why there aren't any here?" Usopp says
"It could be that since this island is under the protection of King Neptune and his army that the Marines knew they could rely on King Neptune to care for the people here while they focused all of their remaining forces elsewhere." Robin says
"Does seem like a good reason. Which is probably why all of these pirate ships are here. As long as they don't cause any trouble with the army they'll be fine too. If the Marines were here that'd be a different story." Usopp says
"Alright everyone, let's go." Shepard calls out to everyone
…
Coral Hill…
Shepard, his team, Chief, Po, Tigress, the Doctor, the Straw Hats, the Empress, her sisters and the Kuja Warriors make their way through the Port City of the Fishman Islands. While Shepard and his team had thought they'd seen it all when it came to places where people seek refuge from the Reapers…this place was a bit different in terms of the refugees tone.
"It—It's the Pirate Empress!" One Man yells
And just like that nearly every single man and woman on the streets begin to stare at the group…mostly Hancock all of them having heard of her beauty. However there were a couple of people who were actually not paying attention to Hancock but to Shepard and his team. Shepard and the others knew that they were going to garner onlookers as they could see the looks on those staring at them with looks of untrustworthiness seeing their armor, weapons and a couple of the team members.
"Hey would you look at that. Those are the Straw Hats." One Fishman said to his friend as the two sat at a table staring towards the passing by group.
"Yeah, but what in the world are they doing with the Pirate Empress?" The other Fishman says
"They probably rescued her from those creatures. Not even the Pirate Empress is safe from these creatures. Probably burnt down her entire island and killed all of her people except for those."
"And would you look at those weirdoes with them, who the hell are they?"
"Hey everyone look it's the Straw Hats the saviors of Fishman Island!" One of Fishman Inhabitants yell in excitement.
Immediately all of the inhabitants of Fishman Island begin to cheer for the Straw Hats return.
"These people do know that everything's gone to shit right?" James says curious at how the people on the island seem to be cheerful and happy instead of sad and afraid.
"Well for one, the inhabitants of the island know the Straw Hats since they did save their island. As for the other people, well they're seeing the Pirate Empress. And because of what's heard about her those people are just in awe of her beauty." Shepard says
"Really pathetic how even men who are married are just drooling over seeing her. If they didn't think they're wives were beautiful why marry them." Ashley says
"Can't exactly blame them Ash. Everyone here's heard about the beauty of Hancock and so when they actually get to see her. It's like fans seeing their celebrity idol you can't contain it." Shepard says
"Yeah guess you're right about that Shepard." Ashley says
"Most likely what's also happening is that they're probably thinking they're safe down here from the Reapers. Probably don't think the Reapers can go after them underwater since they haven't attacked this place yet." Chief says
"There's also that reason, think they've gotten away from the Reapers. But they'll be in for a surprise for when the Reapers do come here. Which hopefully doesn't happen." Shepard says
"The Reapers are probably just saving this place for last. They probably know that if they take care of all the other islands then all of the refugees from around the world will be stuck out at sea or try to come here. All the Reapers have to do is destroy every single docked ship and the people here are trapped. They can't swim to the surface due to how far down they are, and they'll be slaughtered." Garrus says
"Let's just hope we can stop that from happening before it's too late." Liara says
As the group continue walking forward with inhabitants cheering at the Straw Hats return and the refugees cheering at the sight of the Pirate Empress, a familiar female voice breaks through the crowd, "LUFFY!"
Hearing this Luffy stops with Shepard taking notice as he stops as well, soon the others stop as well even Hancock and the Kuja Warriors wondering what's going on.
"ZORO! SANJI! NAMI! USOPP! CHOPPER! ROBIN! FRANKY! BROOK!"
"Hey Straw Hat!" This time a male voice calls out
The group look at where the two voices came from as then forcing their way through the crowd the Straw Hats old friends Hatchan "Hachi", Keimi and Pappug appear.
"Hachi! Keimi! Pappug!" Luffy yells in happiness.
"KEIMI-CHAN!" Sanji yells in happiness swinging his arms into the air as he goes love sick again.
As the Straw Hats friends rush over to greet them and be happy that their friends are alive, Shepard and the rest of the team take a look at the Straw Hats friends the Doctor having told them about many of the Straw Hats friends.
Hatchan or "Hachi" as most of his friends called him, was a pink skinned octopus fishman, with eight appendages (six arms and two legs) and an octopus-like face. He had grey hair styled with ten spikes one row of five in the front and the second row behind the first row. Hachi has a muscular build and has suction cups on his six arms. Hatchan also has a tattoo in the shape of a sun on his forehead.
Keimi was a mermaid, specifically a kissing gourami mermaid. Keimi had green hair and dark purple eyes a pink tail with light fins, and a white dorsal fin. She was wearing a black colored spaghetti-strap top with a jagged lower hem that exposed her stomach with a large yellow star on the middle with the words C R above it.
And Pappug…was an orange starfish. Wearing a hat similar to a tam hat or rastacap, sunglasses and a red bowtie.
"Everyone it's so good to see all of you again, and see that you're all alright!" Keimi says overjoyed
"Yeah it sure is. With all that's been happening on the surface we didn't know how well you guys were doing." Hachi says
"Heh it's going to take more than those oversized metallic squids to take us down." Luffy says
"So, a bipedal Octopus, a mermaid and a talking starfish. You'd think after seeing elves, dwarves, dragons, magic, talking human like animals and people who bend the elements. I'd be used to seeing these kinds of things. Still trying to get used to it still. Don't know how long that's going to take." James says
"Really? Cause I got used to it just after Po's universe to just expect anything and everything." Garrus says
"Hey guys do you know where Jinbe is?" Luffy asks
"Unfortunately Jinbe isn't around here. He's with the King right now. But who knows words probably already reached the king that you're here and he'll most likely send some guards to pick you up." Hachi says
"You guys look hungry, come with us we'll take you to the Mermaid Café." Keimi says
"Ohhhh! Heheh man I can't wait to have more fishman island food it was so good last time." Luffy says
"Did you say the Mermaid Café?" Sanji asks
"Hmm." Keimi replies as she nods her head
"It's like a dream come true. First the beautiful ladies of Amazon Lily…and now getting another chance to see the Mermaids. It really is a dream come true." Sanji says as he covers his eyes and begins crying into them.
"I feel like we should have a doctor check up on this guy when we get back to our universe. See if there's some kind of treatment for this guy." James says
"Yeah…the last thing we need is this guy getting a bloody nose during the final battle. If anything we should probably stick him with a group that won't have Asari or any other female soldiers. Good advice just saying." Garrus says
Just then Pappug takes notice of Commander Shepard and his team, "(Screams in terror) Hey! Who…Who are they!" Pappug yells pointing at Shepard and the others.
Hachi and Keimi look at where Pappug is pointing and also take notice of Shepard and the others.
"Don't worry, we're friends of Luffy and the others." Shepard says
"Yeah you don't have to worry about Shepard and the others they're our friends. In fact if it wasn't for them we probably wouldn't even be here." Luffy says
"Heh well any friends of the Straw Hats are friends of ours then." Hachi says
"Yeah." Keimi says
"Well then what are we waiting for, let's go get something to eat I'm starving." Luffy says
"Uh wait a second, Luffy." Chopper says
"Hm what is it Chopper?" Luffy asks
"I just remembered I have to find a place to buy the medicine needed to take care of Sandersonia's fever." Chopper says
"Oh yeah that's right, hey Hachi is there any place nearby where they have any kind of medical stuff?" Luffy asks
"Oh yeah there is. Pappug can you show Chopper where it is?" Hachi says
"Sure no problem we can meet up with you later." Pappug replies
"Come on Reindeer follow me." Pappug says as Chopper begins to follow him.
"Chief would you go with Chopper just to make sure he's alright?" Shepard asks
"No problem Shepard." Chief replies as he begins to follow after them.
"Commander, if you wouldn't mind we will follow your friend and the doctor. After all my sister does need the medicine." Hancock says
"Of course." Shepard says
Hancock and the rest of her people then begin to follow after the Chief, Chopper and Pappug as Shepard and the others look back at Hachi and Keimi.
"Alright then let's go." Keimi says
…
Mermaid Café…
"Sanji-kun!"
And just like that blood shoots out from Sanji's nose but luckily Liara is able to cast stasis in time to stop him from shooting off as Usopp takes some wipes and stuffs them into Sanji's nose to stop the bleeding. Before the group are the mermaids of the Mermaid Café, all of them having known and become friends to the Straw Hats much like everyone else for saving their island. The stasis wears off of Sanji as he continues to stare love struck at the Mermaids.
"Maybe we should've also sent Sanji along with the Chief so this wouldn't have happened." Ashley says with a hand on her forehead and eyes closed.
"It probably would've happened either way." Tali says looking down just ridiculed by Sanji's constant bloody nose every time he saw beautiful women.
After settling down and ordering food which the mermaid gladly gave to them for free Shepard and the others quickly explained to Hachi and Keimi who they were, where they came from and their mission…which the mermaid workers overhead due to them having "closed" the building just to welcome back the Straw Hats since they knew Keimi was going to bring them there.
"Amazing." Keimi says in awe.
"So Luffy and the others are the heroes that you came for, for this universe?" Hachi says
Shepard nods his head.
"Well it definitely fits them. They did save Fishman Island after all. They're the heroes of Fishman Island." The mermaid known as Ishilly who had freckles, a black and white striped tail, black wavy hair arranged into two pigtails with flowery ribbons, wearing a star-fish shaped pendant around her neck and a black-white striped bikini top with a flower in the middle said.
"Well if anything you definitely gained a powerful ally…and a good person and friend." Keimi says
"From what the Doctor's told me about him and from what I've seen him do in combat. He's definitely powerful, him and the rest of his crew." Shepard says
…
"Thank you." Chopper says to the store owner of the medical shop.
Chopper walks outside with the needed supplies as Chief keeps a canister of Biofoam in hand just in case.
"Did he have the things you need?" Chief asks
"Yeah he had them." Chopper replies as he then begins to get to work bandaging up Sandersonia's open wound.
"So then, never really got to properly introduce myself. My name's Pappug."
"Call me Master Chief."
"Nice to meet you Master Chief. You'd probably want to know more about me. Now you see I'm really famous here on Fishman Island due to being the creator of an every growing fashion line—"
"Has her wound gotten a bit better?" Chief asks Chopper
"Why am I always being ignored?" Pappug says to himself in sadness
"Your Biofoam seemed to definitely help in stopping her fever from getting worse. That stuff really works well." Chopper says
"You just about done? We should probably hurry and regroup with the others if this king Neptune guy does plan on sending guards to get us if he wants to meet you and the rest of your crew again." Chief says
"Just about…done!" Chopper says
"Thank you Reindeer-san. I feel better already." Sandersonia says
Just as Chopper finishes up a voice comes from behind Chief, "Hey, are you friends with Straw Hat Luffy?" the voice asks directed towards the Chief who turns around.
Chief finds himself looking an enormous, muscular shark merman, with a wide chest and large arms, wavy fair blue hair flowing down to his shoulders, a sharp and pointy nose, a dot of some sort printed on the middle of his forehead and a dark blue tail with light blue polka-dots. Wearing a dark garment around his waist, held up by an extremely long sash and also donning a light blue long band, which passes over his shoulders wielding a trident in his hand. To his right an extremely tall and thin merman with wide eyes, long wavy dark pink hair, and beaver like teeth, wearing a fancy robe like garment with sleeves that are puffed at the shoulders and wrists carrying two swords behind him, held in place by an orange sash and a long purple tail with white polka dots and a red fin. And to the middle merman's left a rotund, stocky and large merman, a polka dot tail, with a black variation along with white polka dots and red scales, with brown hair and red fins on his head, wearing blue hat with a dirty white stripe going across the middle of it and a sash. And behind the three very large merman appear to be what are most likely the Fishmen army all of them wielding various weapons such as tridents and swords.
"Depends on who's asking?" Chief replies as he crosses his arms while immediately in his head he plans out how to handle the group in front of him in case things get hostile.
…
20 Minutes Later…
Back with Shepard's Team…
"Hey Straw Hat!" Pappug yells as he walks through the door catching the group's attention.
"Pappug?" Luffy says
"There's some people here to see you." Pappug says as he walks back outside.
The group exchange glances as they then get up from their seats and head towards the door. Walking through the door the group is then met by a large group of Fishmen soldiers and leading them…the three sons of Neptune who along with them are the Master Chief and Chopper.
"Oh Fukaboshi, Ryuboshi, Manboshi!" Luffy yells in happiness.
"Straw Hat, it's good to see you're alright." The eldest son of Neptune Fukaboshi says
"Chief where's Hancock and the others?" Shepard asks
"You don't have to worry about the Pirate Empress Commander. We've had some of our men escort her and her people to a special refugee campsite for people of her status." Fukaboshi says
"I take it my friend the Master Chief has explained to you who we are." Shepard says
"Yes he has. Any friends of the Straw Hats are allies of us. Our father sent us down here to get Straw Hat and the rest of his crew. You and your team can come along as well." Fukaboshi says
…
Ryugu Palace…
The group is led by the three Princes into Ryugu Palace, after a couple of minutes of walking through the Palace the group soon find themselves entering the Throne Room. The Throne Room appears to be very, very large as many pillars lay to the sides of the room, the group walk down the middle of the room towards the throne as they then see before them a giant-sized and muscular merman with a red nose, small eyes, and long thick orange curly hair and beard. Both his chest and arms are covered with hair and has matching black tattoos on both arms, which looks like a spiral with wavy protrusion designs around it. On his head rests a large gold crown which resembles a tulip with jewels embedded, a golden bracelet on each wrist, and carries a gold trident with an elaborate design, the man before them is King Neptune.
However before Shepard or anyone else can say anything a large figure flies very closely overhead Shepard and the others with a large hand grabbing Luffy as the others are forced to the ground from the force of the person speeding over them some of them being able to keep their balance as they just kneel down. Shepard and the others look at the person…and are then forced to look up at a giant-sized mermaid with very long, flowing pink hair with a fish-shaped hairgrip, wearing a cleavage baring yellow halter top covered in pearls with a strap that widens and sticks out on the back of her neck, clam earrings and belly chains with a cloth hanging down in front and a very long light red and pink striped tail.
"LUFFY! IT'S SO GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN!" The Mermaid Princess Shirahoshi yells in happiness as she also begins to start crying while holding Luffy in her hands against her cheek.
"Dah Shirahoshi it's good to see you too again." Luffy replies in happiness as well.
Shepard and the others get a look at Shirahoshi having been given the info on her by the Doctor such as her giant sized compared to pretty much everyone else, her tragic history such as the death of her mother who sought to promote the friendship between Fishmen and Humans, her constantly being in danger due to a fishman named Vander Decken IX's devil fruit powers, the kind of person she was…as well as what she secretly was as well.
Shirahoshi continued to cry and hold Luffy in her hands happy to see her best and closest friend again, "Man what in the world does that girl eat?" James says amazed by how huge she was even in comparison to her father.
"Not to mention if you listened to the Doctor he even said how she was bigger than her three brothers and her mother when she was just a baby." Ashley says
"So from what I've heard your name is Commander Shepard is that correct?" Neptune says catching the group's attention back to him.
"Yes, that's correct. And these people are my team; Master Chief, the Doctor, Ashley Williams, James Vega, Garrus Vakarian, Liara T'Soni, Tali Zorah, Javik, EDI, Po and Tigress." Shepard says gesturing to each of his teammates.
"And my name is Neptune, king of the Ryugu Kingdom. I thank you Commander as well as your team. From what I've heard you saved not only the Straw Hats, but the Pirate Empress and some of her people as well from those creatures." Neptune says
"We were just doing what we came here for. Trying to save as many people as we can from the Reapers and to recruit Luffy and his crew in the fight against them." Shepard says
"Reapers? Is that what these creatures are known as?" Neptune asks
"That's correct sir. Though the giant metal squids are the Reapers, their ground forces are called Husks." Chief says
"Well I'd say that the name fits them perfectly-jamon." Neptune says
"Excuse me Commander but you said something about recruiting Luffy and his friends?" Fukaboshi asks
"Yes that's correct." Shepard replies
"Why are you seeking to recruit them if we may ask- so-la-si-do?" Ryuboshi the second son of Neptune asks
"We're attempting to gather together an army of Heroes from across the Multiverse in hopes of defeating the Reapers. Luffy and his friends are the heroes of this universe, while we're also seeking armies who fight for good and fight alongside the heroes we only came here for Luffy and the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates." Chief replies
"Multiverse? Army of Heroes?" Manboshi the third son of Neptune says
"It's a long story." Shepard says
"It's always been a long story. And there's no possibility of making it shorter." Javik says
"I'm just starting to wonder if we should record what we say and then just play it for the people we're explaining it to. Would probably make things a lot easier." James says
"I'd think we should just let Shepard, Chief and the Doctor handle it like always. And if necessary we help them out like we have sometimes before." Tali says
"(Sighs) If only there was a shorter way of explaining it. Seriously this explanation thing takes almost forever to explain and then there are the questions and who knows what else." Ashley says
"It is necessary however, especially for those who wish to know as well. And we can't leave out any information that could be important." EDI says
"Which is pretty much everything." Garrus says
…
Meanwhile in Ryugu Palaces' Prison Tower…
Two Ammo Knights stand guard of a single cell, inside the cell lay the enemies of Ryugu Kingdom and the people of Fishman Island. The leader of the long disbanded Fishman Pirates, Hody Jones and his officers, the hammerhead shark fishman Dosun, the Japanese wobbegong fishman Zeo, the cookie-cutter shark fishman Daruma, the giant squid fishman Ikaros Much, and the poisonous blue-ringed octopus merman Hyouzou. Also in the same cell is the former captain of the Flying Pirates as well as the fishman who threated Shirahoshi, Vander Decken IX. Due to the overuse of the Energy Steroids, Hody and the rest of his officers had aged exponentially being nothing but skin and bone while Vander Decken remained the same due to not using the steroid. While the Fishman Pirates had all but been disbanded and the leaders nothing more than old men they were still kept under constant guard though not as much as before since they no longer posed much of a major threat due to their strength and everything else being taken away by their old age. The two Ammo Knights stood guard with their tridents at the ready keeping on constant guard, though they knew well that no one in their right mind would attempt to free Hody and his officers due to their circumstances they still had to keep an eye on Vander Decken who still posed a threat. However they knew that most likely no one was going to be coming for these traitors of Fishman Island. However just then the two knights all of a sudden heard something come from the entryway. The two Ammo Knights heard one of the two guards outside the door yell something which was mumbled due to the door and walls, however they did hear some kind of strange sound which went off two times silencing the sound off the guard as then the sounds of two bodies hitting the wall could be heard. Hearing this the two Ammo Knights quickly got into a battle ready position with their tridents held forward at the ready. The two knights stood at the ready waiting for the attacker or attackers to come through the door, though for a minute nothing seemed to happen. Just then the door was blasted off its hinges as it flew between the two Ammo Knights who could only watch in shock as the door flew by them to the ground. The two quickly looked back to then see what looked like a single figure shrouded by the smoke begin walking through the doorway. As the figure walked out of the smoke the two Ammo Knights let out a battle cry as they charged toward the mysterious figure who seemed calm as he continued to slowly walk towards them. The figure then raises his right hand forward as the two Ammo Knights close in on him, all of a sudden two energy blasts are fired from his palm each one hitting one of the Ammo Knights as they both then go down dead. Just then from behind the man four more figures appear walking forward as well, two of them appear to be wearing bulky armor while the other two in front of them light armor of some kind. The man continues walking towards the jail cell which contains Hody and the other Fishman as upon entering the room caught their attention. Just then another Ammo Knight appears to the man's left and attempts to charge at the intruder as well but the man simply without looking crosses his right arm across his chest and fires another energy blast at the Ammo Knight sending him flying into a wall. As the man reaches the cell, hiding behind a nearby pillar another Ammo Knight waits for the right time to strike as he has his trident at the ready but having seen the rest of his friends die without getting close to him grinds his teeth together both in anger and fear. The Ammo Knight closes his eyes and then charges out of cover yelling as he drives his trident towards the intruder, the intruder however simply pulls out a strange looking blade with his left hand and with quick speed turns around swinging his blade at the tip of the trident knocking it away and then proceeds to then leap forward and drive his blade into the Ammo Knights chest. The Ammo Knight lets out one gasp of air, the man pulls out the blade from the Ammo Knight as he then falls to his side dead.
The man walks back over to the cell as the other four intruders join him standing behind him. Hody and the others look up at the people who took out the Ammo Knights, Hody then notices that before him…are humans. Though the likes of their weapons and armor are the likes he's never seen before, never the less he is still angered but at the same time confused on why there were humans before him. Most likely to kill him is what the thought.
"(Growls) Humans...Here to finish me off so that I can no longer threaten your kind." Hody says
"Hm. How pathetic how the mighty can fall. But from what I've been told, when you were at your prime you were extremely powerful. You and your men, is that correct?" The man asks
"Huh? What's it to you human?" Hody asks
"Because, I'm searching for some powerful people. People who could help me and my…associates out in dealing with some foolish pests." The man says
"And if we were powerful…then what would that mean to you?" Hody asks
"Well, then that means you're the kind of people that I'm looking for…Hody Jones, Captain of the disbanded Fishman Pirates." The man says as a grin begins to appear on his face.
"Who are you?" Hody asks
The man then walks forward out of the shadows and reveals to be none other than…
"Call me…an ally." Kai Leng says
…
"I see. That is quite amazing." Neptune says
"Wow, there is so much out there than just the surface amazing." Shirahoshi says
"That's pretty much everything. We helped the Empress and her people because not only was it the right thing to do. (Smirks and crosses his arms) but is also the only way to get Luffy to give us a lending hand." Shepard says
"Heh Luffy is known for his stubbornness. You should've been here when I had to convince him to save Fishman Island." An old friend of the Straw Hats says catching the group's attention to where the voice came from.
Leaning against one of the pillars of the hall was the Straw Hat's friend and ally, the former Shichibukai and fishman Jinbe.
"Jinbe!" Luffy yells in happiness.
"Looks like I came at the right time, I was about to start asking some questions such as who you are Commander and what you want with Luffy and the others." Jinbe says
"So you're the famous Jinbe I've heard about from Luffy and some of his crew." Shepard says
Jinbe nods his head.
"So what are you going to do now Commander? Now that you have Straw Hat and his crew and the Empress and her people are here safe and sound—"Fukaboshi says but is cut off.
"We're most likely going to head back to our ship that brought us here and head back. If that's alright with Luffy that is now?" Shepard says as he then looks at Luffy.
Luffy nods his head, "We're done here Commander. We're ready to go kick some Reaper ass when the times come." Luffy says as he punches his hands together.
"We just need to pack up the stuff we need and then we can meet you—"
However before Nami can finish her sentence the doorway to the Throne Room crashes open, "King Neptune!" A Fishman Soldier yells as he runs towards King Neptune catching everyone's attention in the room.
The Fishman Guard runs up to the King as Shepard and Chief move aside, the guard stops before the king but tries to catch his breath as he pants heavily leaning forward with his hands to his knees.
"Soldier what is it?" Fukaboshi asks
"My King we have a situation brewing in the city!" The Fishman Guard yells
"What is it?" Shepard asks in fear that it could be the Reapers.
"The—the—The Marines are here! A Large Fleet of Marine ships just appeared and docked along the coastline! The force out there is huge!" The Fishman guard yells in horror.
Neptune gasps in fear hearing this, "The Marines are here…But that means…"
"There are over hundreds of pirates out there on the Island that the Marines will most likely attempt to arrest or kill. If the pirates resist then the entire island could become a warzone." Jinbe says finishing Fukaboshi's sentence.
"Yeah well considering how Pirates don't seem to be the giving up type that's probably what's going to happen down there." James says
"You don't actually think these Marines would start a battle down here do you? With all of these refuges around?" Tali says
"Soldier did you see who was commanding the Marines?" Jinbe asks as he walks over.
"Yes, I—I saw lots of different high ranking officers down there, I—I think I saw a Lt. Commander, two Captains, a vice admiral and…and…"
"Who else?!" Jinbe asks
"I saw the Fleet Admiral himself." The Fishman Guard says
Hearing this Neptune, his sons, Jinbe and many of the other guards in the rooms become shocked and wide-eyed in fear, the Straw Hats all also look at the Fishman Guard in shock and wide-eyed fear.
"FLEET ADMIRAL AKAINU!" The Fishman Guard yells
Hearing this Luffy gasps and puts his right hand on his large scar remembering back to that day…the day that the Fleet Admiral back then just an Admiral Akainu…killed his brother.
Luffy has a flashback to his dying brother as he dies in his arms and went into shock. Luffy remembering the day becomes full of rage as his hands clench up into fists and his eyes completely turn into an angered look. Shepard and Chief both notice Luffy's change in behavior and notice and can tell everything in his body is tensing up full of anger and he looked ready to beat the crap out of Akainu. The Doctor had told them about Akainu, his devil fruit-power his statues in the Marines and how he killed Luffy's brother Ace. Shepard, Chief, the Doctor and the rest of the team knew that if a fought broke out now especially between Luffy and Akainu then there would be nothing left of this island. Everything would be destroyed and everyone would be dead. None of them were going to be able to match up against Akainu, not even the Chief could and he knew since the only way to hurt a Logia type was either with an elemental weaknesses in which against the power and heat of his Magma literally nothing would stand a chance against that and or with Haki which none of them had.
Just then Luffy turns around and begins running towards the door as the others quickly notice this, "Huh Luffy!" Nami yells
"Luffy don't do this now! AHHHH He's not going to listen!" Usopp says as then the rest of the Straw Hats quickly begin running after their captain.
"Shirahoshi go back to your room now. This is something me and your brothers need to deal with." Neptune says
"Of course father. Please watch over Luffy." Shirahoshi says as she then swims back to her room.
"I want fifteen guards to guard her room while we're gone just in case." Neptune says to one of his men.
"Yes sir!" The Fishman Guard replies as he runs off to gather men to keep watch on the Princess.
"Come on now my sons we need to stop this before it escalates." Neptune says as he and his three sons quickly swim off.
"I better go help out too if possible especially if things do go south." Jinbe says as he runs off.
"The timing of something like this couldn't possibly be any worse." Shepard says
"Shepard you'd be surprise how many times I've come across something that its timing could not off been any worse. And this here is another one of them that's for sure." The Doctor says
"Come on everyone let's go!" Shepard yells as the group quickly begin running to catch up with Luffy and the others.
…
A Couple of Minutes Later…
Fishman Island…
Shepard, Luffy and the others arrive on the scene as coming from behind them are Neptune, his sons and almost the entire Fishman Army and Ammo Knights. Before them is a scene that looks like it's going to escalate really quickly if they don't act. All of the refugees and inhabitants stand far away as onlookers while many others view the scene from the safety of buildings…though if a battle did start how long those buildings were going to remain standing…not very long. Hundreds of pirates stand on one side all of them with their weapons at the ready as they stared at their enemies the Marines which also numbered in the hundreds also with their weapons out and at the ready.
"This—this is not good at all." A Fishman says from his hiding spot.
"If the Marines and Pirates start something here then this entire island could be destroyed." A Human woman says frightened.
"Now is not really the best time for these things to be happening don't any of these people know that and especially here do they not care about what happens to this island or any of us?!" A Merman says
"Shit this looks like it could start at any minute." Garrus says
"We need to stop both sides otherwise no one's going to be getting out of here alive." Shepard says
"Hey uh Shepard not to make things even more complicated but uhh Luffy and his friends sorta just went on ahead I think." Po says
Shepard and the others look to their right to then see all of the Straw Hats gone, "And things just got a lot more complicated." Chief says
"Hey it's the Straw Hats!" A Marine yells
Shepard and the others look to then notice that Luffy and the others had made their way to the front of all of the pirates directly between the army of pirates and army of marines.
"Why can things never be simple? Really why can't they be?" Tali says
"(Sighs in anger) Come on we need to stop this before it escalates." Shepard says to his team as they rush off to dissolve the situation before it escalates.
…
Luffy and his friends find themselves at the front of the army of Pirates as before them the Marine forces wait for the order to attack.
"So Straw Hat you're here as well." A voice calls out from the crowd of Marines.
Just then the Marines in the middle begin to move aside as a tall figure approaches Luffy and the others. A muscular man with a mustache and goatee wearing a Marine Cape and a crimson suit decorated with a pink rose on his left buttonhole approaches Luffy and the other Straw Hats just stopping a few feet away from them in front of his men.
Seeing the man before them, many of the pirates that stand behind Luffy and the others gasp and stare in fear at who they see before them while many of the Straw Hats tense up knowing who this was before them…especially Luffy.
"You…" Luffy growls in anger as his entire body tenses up
"Excellent. Just the person I'd hope to run into here. And your entire crew is here too." The Marine Fleet Admiral Akainu says
"Akainu…You'll pay for what you did two years ago. I've grown stronger since than for exactly this moment. To take you down and avenge Ace." Luffy says
"I've been waiting to end your life for a long time Straw Hat. And now at long last I can put an end to you, and the New Age of Pirates. No matter what." Akainu says as soon parts of his body begin transforming into Magma.
"Father what should we do? The Pirates and Marines start a battle here the entire Island and everyone on it's finished." Fukaboshi asks his father.
"I don't know. That's Fleet Admiral Akainu right there and you've heard of his ruthlessness. If it means the destruction of Fishman Island to kill all of these pirates and the Straw Hats no matter what they did to save our island, he'll do it-jamon." Neptune says in a worried tone.
Just then, "HOLD EVERYTHING!" Shepard yells
Just then Shepard and his team arrive having ran around the large army of pirates and into an alleyway leading directly between the two groups. Shepard quickly stands in between both Luffy and Akainu while the rest of his team all draw their weapons and split off to keep the Pirates and Marines from trying anything as Ashley, Javik, EDI, Tali and Tigress cover the pirates while Chief, James, Garrus, Liara and Po cover the Marines with the Doctor having stayed behind with the civilians to keep at a safe distance. The appearance of Shepard and his team confuses both sides having never seen the likes of humans with such odd looking weapons and armor or any of the "creatures" with them before.
"Shepard!" Luffy yells
"Who the hell are you?" Akainu says
Shepard turns his attention to Akainu, "I'm Commander Shepard. I don't have the time to explain where I'm from but to put it in simple terms somewhere else far away. And I'm here to stop both sides before your battle destroys this island and the people on it!" Shepard says
Akainu stares at Shepard full of rage as this unknown man before him would dare step in his way and stop him from killing the Straw Hats and all of the Pirates here.
…
Back at the Prison Tower…
"And why should I help you? Humans are my sworn enemy no matter where you come from. I will never be give my assistance to any humans no matter what!" Hody says
"Hm too bad then. I did have something that could…return you to your former glory. But I guess if you don't want to help us, then you will just remain skin and bones for the rest of your pitiful life." Kai Leng says as he and his two Troopers and Phantoms begin to leave when by what he says Hody gets interested.
"Hold on! (Kai Leng stops in his tracks as do his men as a smirk crosses his face as he then turns around) What are you talking about?" Hody says
"My people were able to get our hands on the thing that did this to you. Those energy pills that you took, we were able to…reverse its effects and create something that will change you back to your younger version before you became these weaklings." Kai Leng says
Hody then growls in anger, on one hand he made it his sworn duty to kill or enslave any and all humans no matter what, however how was he going to do that at his current state he did not want to help this foolish and weak human out but if it meant being returned to his former glory and all of his powers and skills back…he could do it…for at least until he became his former self, then the foolish human would be his first victim of his return.
"All right…you've gotten my attention. But first things first, like before why should I help you and why do you need my help?" Hody says
"Well you gain not only the return to your former power, but I can help you kill the people who put you in here in the first place." Kai Leng says
"Straw Hat…" Hody says to himself.
"And the second answer?" Hody asks
"I can use you and your officer's particular set of skills and power to help put an end to my enemies. You help me, and I can help you. Now then, your final answer is…" Kai Leng says
"You have my allegiance Kai Leng. Just return us to our glorious selves and help us kill our enemies that put us here…and we will help you." Hody says
"Good." Kai Leng says as he then looks at the two Cerberus Troopers and signals them forward.
The two troopers walk up to the cell with the one on the right firing a slug into the cells lock destroying it as the two open the door and walk in. Just then both of them take out what appear to be strange metallic collars each the exact size to each of the Fishman Pirate's neck in there and on it what appear to be three needles going down the back end of the collars.
"This may sting a little." The Cerberus Trooper walking up to Hody says as he opens the collar and brings it around behind Hody's neck.
The Cerberus Trooper then plunges the needles in the back into the back of Hody's neck causing him to wince in pain as the Trooper then closes the collar shut with it secured around his neck as then two red lights on the side activating signaling it's secured.
Soon the two Cerberus troopers finish putting all of the collars onto the back of Hody and his Officers, at first nothing happens as the Fishman Pirates just look at themselves expecting them to have changed by now…but so far nothing. As Daruma is about to say something they all then feel excruciating pain throughout their entire body as they all cringe in pain with Hody dropping his walking stick as he does so. Just then before Kai Leng and his men's eyes Hody Jones, Dosun, Zeo, Daruma, Ikaros, and Hyouzou began to change. In just a few seconds…Hody and his men soon find themselves looking like the way they had after the overdose of Energy Steroids but before the over-over dose that they did during the battle with the Straw Hats. Hody looked at his arms and could seem the thick veins on his muscular arms and he knew immediately that he had truly returned to his former self, Hody could only gasp and look in shock…but then an evil grin appeared on his face. Without warning Hody struck bashing the two Cerberus Troopers out of his way as they flew into the bars grunting in pain upon impact as Hody made his move toward Kai Leng.
"You're dead human!" Hody yells
However before he can deliver the killing blow a large volt of electricity emanates from the collar delivering a powerful and painful electrical shock to not just Hody but the rest of his officers as well as they all yelled in pain. After just a couple of seconds the electricity de-activates as Hody and the rest of his officers fall to the ground in pain as they all breathe heavily. Hody growls in anger and then looks up at Kai Leng who just looks down at him with his hands behind his back.
"What did you do Human?!" Hody says
"Hm! Do you take me for a fool? Did you honestly think that I wouldn't expect treachery from you once you returned to your former selves? Why do you think I placed the thing you needed to return you back to your former states in a collar? So that way when you tried something like that…well you receive a "mild" shock to put you back in your place. Oh and don't even try taking it off, that collar also contains enough explosions in it to take out a two story building, not even you could survive something like that especially at point blank. Face it…your now working for us whether you like it…or not Hody Jones." Kai Leng says
Hody can do nothing but stare in anger and growl at Kai Leng but there is nothing much else he can do…
"What a disgrace…if Fisher Tiger saw me now what would he think!" Hody says in his mind.
"Now then, come now, now it's my turn to help you. Don't worry I have a plan to draw out the Straw Hats and my enemies who are with them right now. Here in fact." Kai Leng says
"WHAT! THE STRAW HATS ARE HERE!" Hody yells in anger.
"Thought that'd get your attention. Now then, follow me if you wouldn't mind." Kai Leng says
Hody and his officers stand back up as the two troopers who survived Hody's assault walk out of the room. The group begin to make their way towards the door when all of a sudden, "No wait! Take me with you please I—I can help too!"
Kai Leng and Hody look back at the cell to still see the tied up Vander Decken as he pleads with them.
"Huh do you think I'd let a weakling and traitor like you join us Decken. Don't listen to him, he's weak and will betray you in the end." Hody says
"No! No! No I won't I promise!" Decken pleads.
Kai Leng then walks back to the cell and looks at Decken, "Tell me what your specialty is? Do you have something that could be of use?" Kai Leng asks
…
Back on Fishman Island…
It's a tense stand-off, both Pirates and Marines are ready to go at each other's throats. The only ones stopping them from doing so however is Shepard and his team as they try to reason with Akainu to try and work with the Pirates against the likes of the Reapers. However things so far are not going to well.
"Peh. Do you think I would dare work alongside Pirates? I don't care who these Reapers are I would never dare ally with Pirates no matter what." Akainu says
"Listen! By yourselves you won't be able to defeat the Reapers. The only way to survive is by working together, divided you will all fall." Shepard says
"I would rather die than ever have the Marines work alongside Pirates. The day Marines and Pirates work together, is the day the world ends." Akainu says
"And that's exactly what's happening! If you don't put aside your differences and work together then your world is going to be destroyed! Everyone is going to be dead! Don't you care about the innocent lives that are going to be lost because of your stupidity!?" Shepard yells in anger as he points a finger at Akainu.
Akainu stares towards the Commander, anger filling his eyes as the stranger before him would dare challenge him and insult him.
"Don't you care what happens to any of these people here? You would start a fight here and risk all of these innocent people who've already lost so much just because there are Pirates here and they're your sworn enemy?! If you don't put aside your differences…then you're all going to be dead. If anything put aside your differences until the Reapers are at least defeated. You start a fight here and destroy this island and kill all of these refugees…then your world won't last another two weeks. The Reapers ARE a force to be reckon with and you won't be able to hold your own by yourselves. If Marines and Pirates alike work together you just might last long enough." Shepard says
Pirates and Marines a like stare at the Commander with a few of them exchanging glances with one another thinking that the Commander was right. Neither side thus far was making any kind of progress against the Reapers, if they worked together perhaps they could actually fight back and win battles. Akainu continues to stare at the Commander with fiery rage in his eyes, however before anyone can say anything…
A Mermaid screams in terror catching everyone's attention as they look at her.
"L—LOOK!" The Mermaid yells as she points out towards the Ocean.
Everyone looks at where she's pointing, even the Pirates, Marines and Shepard and the others.
…
Floating through the water towards the island…a total of seven Reaper Capital Ships were seen, the lights emitting from their body being seen through the dark waters that lay outside of the sun filled water area surrounding the Island.
…
"IT—IT'S THE MONSTERS!" A man yells
"The Reapers." Chief says
"Looks like they can get here." Shepard says
Usopp and Chopper scream in terror as the other Straw Hats gasp in horror and shock seeing the Reapers.
"Garrus how many?" Shepard asks as Garrus raises his sniper and looks through the scope.
"I count Seven Reapers Shepard." Garrus replies as he continues to stare through the scope.
"This island won't have a chance against seven Reaper Capital Ships. Commander we must leave." Javik says
"We can't just leave all of these people here." Shepard says
"None of the people's ships are coated and it'll take too long to coat all of them for the refugees to escape. We can't handle seven Reaper Capital Ships Shepard." Chief says
"Dammit…" Shepard says to himself.
Just then, "Hold on a second. Shepard the Reapers just stopped." Garrus says
"What do you mean?" Shepard asks
"They just stopped heading towards the island." Garrus replies as he looks through his scope to see the Reaper s having come to a sudden stop in the ocean.
"Why in the world would they stop?" Tigress says
"I don't like this. Something's up." Chief says
"I'm with you on that Chief." Shepard says
Garrus continues to stare through his scope as every person around stands still frozen in fear wondering what the Reapers are doing. Soon however they get their answer.
Garrus then spots as then from behind the Reapers, Harvesters, Reaper Troop Transports and…Cerberus Kodiak Shuttles appear all of them coated as they then make their way through the water…their destination Fishman Island.
"It's an invasion force!" Garrus says
"What!" Shepard says
"Harvesters, Reaper Troop Transports and Kodiak Shuttles with Cerberus written all over it heading this way…a whole lot of them!" Garrus says
Just then Harvesters, Reaper Troop Transports and Cerberus Shuttles begin entering through the bubble surrounding Fishman Island as immediately the Harvesters open fire with their twin Cannons raining terror down on the refugees, pirates and marines of Fishman Island. Shots impact into buildings and into large groups of refugees, pirates or marines killing everyone caught in the general vicinity of the explosion as rubble from the buildings begin raining down on the people. Immediately the refugees of Fishman Island are sent into a general state of panic as they begin running in terror trying to get to safety as Pirates and Marines alike all over the island open up their weapons trying to take down the Harvesters and troop transports. Just then the Troop transports carrying Husks begin impacting all over the city releasing them upon impact as the Husks begin their rampage throughout Fishman Island immediately killing refugees, pirates and marines a like. Meanwhile Cerberus Kodiak Shuttles land throughout the city as Pirates and Marines alike fire on them but with their bullets bouncing harmlessly off the shuttles tough and futuristic armor just as the shuttle doors open revealing the Cerberus soldiers within who jump off the shuttles and begin returning fire killing pirates and marines with ease as the bullets from the pirates and marines guns cannot penetrate the Cerberus armor.
"Marines! Fan out and kill the invaders!" Akainu yells as the Marines yell in compliance and run off to engage the Reaper and Cerberus forces.
"We'll finish this later." Akainu says to Shepard and Straw Hat as he heads off to help his men.
Immediately the pirates gathered around also disperse to fight to defend themselves. Neptune and his sons immediately swim down to Shepard and his team and the Doctor running over to them.
"King Neptune do you have anywhere safe for the refugees to go? Some place for them to head too until we can repel the attack?" Shepard asks
"Uhhh…No not really?" Neptune replies
"What! You don't any kind of underground hideouts or anything like that?" Shepard says
"We—We planned on making those, but we didn't expect these things to attack so soon. Had we more time—"
"We don't have time they're here now and every single refugee's a sitting duck." Shepard says
Just then a high velocity slug flies over Shepard's head causing him to duck down as he and the others look to the left and raising their weapons open fire taking down two charging Cerberus Assault Troopers.
"What should we do Commander? You have more experience fighting these creatures and what about those men in the armor?" Fukaboshi asks
"The men in the armor are our enemies as well Cerberus. None of your weapons will be able to penetrate their armor though so try to avoid them and leave them to us. Protect the refugees and try to find someplace to keep them safe." Shepard says
"Alright, father you should head back to the Castle leave this to us." Fukaboshi says
"Be careful my sons." Neptune says as he then swims off.
The three sons each take a large group of their soldiers with them and separate to handle to the refugees.
"What us Shepard?" Ashley asks
"Same thing for us protect the refugees and repel the invasion. We all need to split up to cover more ground that way. Help the Marines, Pirates and Fishman Army soldiers to fight the Reapers and Cerberus." Shepard says
"But Shepard even if we do take out all of the Cerberus and Husks what about the Reaper Capital Ships?" Liara asks
"We'll deal with them later when the time comes…hopefully. Until then everyone split up; Doctor stick with the Chief for protection. With all that's happening I don't trust you to be back on the Sunny all by yourself and a squad of Cerberus soldiers to just happen to check the ship for you. With any luck we hid the TARDIS well just in case this happened so they won't be able to find it hopefully." Shepard says
"Got it…wait you hid my TARDIS?" The Doctor says
"Yeah." Shepard replies
"Wh—Where did you hide it I wasn't informed about this?" The Doctor says
"We uhh had to use some improvisation…" Shepard says
"What do you mean by that?" The Doctor asks
…
Back on the Thousand Sunny…
A large group of Cerberus assault troopers led by a Centurion scour the ship in search of the Doctor's TARDIS.
"Sir the lower decks of the ship are clear." An assault trooper says as he and four more walk out from the lower decks.
"Crow's Nest is clear too." Another Assault Trooper says as he climbs down the rope ladder to the deck.
"It doesn't look like the TARDIS is anywhere onboard sir." Another Trooper says
"They must off took it with them since our last attempt was discovered and stopped. Come on then we'll just need to capture the Doctor." The Centurion says
"Yes sir!" The assault troopers yell as the group of Cerberus soldiers begin to leave the ship.
As the Cerberus forces leave the ship…In the Aquarium Room hidden right behind a large coral reef in the Aquarium Tank…sits the TARDIS.
…
"YOU PUT MY TARDIS IN THE AQUARIUM TANK!" The Doctor yells in anger and disbelief.
"Well it was the only place we knew that Cerberus wouldn't think of looking. Don't worry we made sure it was sealed before we put it in." Shepard says
"Oh my beautiful TARDIS please be safe and dry on the inside when I get back. Oh I'm so sorry for putting you through this girl." The Doctor says to himself as he faces away from Shepard and the others kneeling on the ground looking down and mopping.
"Would you prefer it not be safe!?" James yells
"Hey uh guys not to break up the chat or anything like that but I seriously think we should split up like now." Ashley says catching everyone's attention.
"Why's that? Chief asks
"Because we got a Harvester incoming at our nine!" Ashley yells while pointing to the groups nine o'clock.
The group looks to see a Harvester flying low towards them.
"Everyone split up now!" Shepard yells as the Harvester opens fire.
With haste the group quickly disperses out in different directions just as the shots impact where they once stood.
…
In just a couple of minutes the entire island has become a warzone as Marines, Pirates and the Fishman Army fight against the Husks and Cerberus forces with all of the refugees caught in between.
In one part of the city, a group of Marines engage the Cerberus and Husk forces as they fire their guns at the approaching enemy forces. While they are able to kill a couple of Husks, the Cerberus forces prove to be more difficult as the rounds from their guns impact into the Cerberus soldiers armor but are not able to penetrate rather shattering upon impact. The Cerberus forces however encounter no such problem as they slowly march forward firing their weapons taking down marine after marine as they continue to try and hold their ground. A couple of the marines take out their swords and charge forward towards the Cerberus and Reaper forces. While a couple of the Marines are able to cut down some of the charging Husks they begin to get mowed down by Cerberus fire as they continue charging forward, only one marine manages to make it as he swings his sword down on a Cerberus assault trooper…only for his sword to break on contact as the Cerberus soldier then bashes the Marine in the head with the butt end of his assault rifle knocking the marine to the ground and then putting a slug in his head and continuing forward.
"Dammit! We can't penetrate those bastards armor!" One Marine yells
"How the hell are we supposed to beat those guys?" The Marine to his right says
Just then the sound of a cannon firing is heard as then all of a sudden a cannonball flies between the Marine forces into the front of the Cerberus and Husks forces exploding on contact and sending Cerberus and Husks forces flying to the ground. The two marines turn around to then see as then more marines arrive with three cannons in tow.
"Fire!" A High Ranking Marine yells as then the Marines manning the cannons fire them again sending cannonballs flying towards the enemy forces.
The cannonballs explode on impact killing even more Cerberus and Husks as they are sent flying to the ground from the force of the explosion.
"Heh! Bastards still can't survive cannon blasts!"
"Yeah but do we have enough heavy weapons to fight them all over?"
"Do give up Marines! Keep fighting to the end! Take these bastards down!" The High Ranking Marine officer yells
"YES SIR!" Various Marines yell as they charge forward.
…
In another part of the City…
Another explosion goes off sending Cerberus and Husks flying. A group of pirates continue to fire their weapons at the approaching Cerberus and Husks with the same result as they manage to take down the Husks with concentrated fire from their weapons; meanwhile the pirates armed with portable cannons fire those taking out large groups of Cerberus and Husks. The Cerberus troopers however have figured this out and have begun concentrating their fire on the pirates armed with the heavy weapons managing to down a couple of them already forcing the pirates to begin falling back to better positions. However as the Cerberus and Husks continue after them, then from above some of the nearby buildings more pirates pop out of cover and begin firing down on the enemy forces as bullets impact into the Husks and cannonballs explode in the middle of large groups of Cerberus and Husks taking out more troops. Cerberus and the Husks are able to react to this attack and begin focusing their fire on the pirates on the rooftops but then find themselves being attacked by the pirates in front of them forcing them to divide their forces to deal with the ones on the rooftop and in front of them.
…
In another part of the City…
"Everyone quickly this way!" One Fishman soldier yells
"Quickly everyone keep moving! Don't stop!" Another Fishman soldier yells as the two direct refugees to safety.
Nearby Fukaboshi, Ryuboshi and Manboshi along with their men engage the Reaper forces around them. Fukaboshi drives his trident into a Marauder and then with the Marauder still on the trident swings it at two Cannibals to his right sending the Marauder flying into the two Cannibals. Ryuboshi with his two swords cuts down two Cannibals and then drives both of his swords into a Husk in front of him. Manboshi cuts across a Husks chest with his sword and then twists to his left driving his sword into another Husk. Around them their men are able to handle the Husks with no problem; however the Marauders and Cannibals prove to be bigger problems as they fire their weapons killing many of the soldiers before they can get near them. However the soldiers are quick to sneak behind the Cannibals and Marauders using the buildings and take them down from behind. As Fukaboshi kills the last Husk around them he breathes heavily from the battle but then notices something as he looks up…to then see as a squad of Cerberus assault troopers led by a Centurion round the corner of the building in front of them. Fukaboshi gasps in shock as he sees them heading towards them with their weapons raised. However before the soldiers are able to pull the triggers of their guns, a couple of large water drops fly past him into each of the Cerberus troops with the impact being strong enough to knock them off their feet and to the ground as they fly backwards to the ground a couple of feet. Fukaboshi turns around to then see Jinbe behind him with water hanging off his left hand having used his form of Merman Combat to send powerful blasts of water at the Cerberus troops to take them down. Fukaboshi nods his head in a 'thank you' which Jinbe nods his head back in reply.
…
A Pirate somewhere else is seen as he attempts to lift a large sign of a building that was reduced to rubble as he attempts to help a refugee and his son and daughter who became trapped under the sign and the rubble that surrounds it with the rubble being the only thing that stopped the sign from squishing them. The pirate however has no success by himself as he yells for help.
"Hey! Someone! Anyone! Help please! There's a guy and two kids trapped under here!" The pirate yells two of his friends nearby hear his call for help having just taken care off a Husk and so quickly rush over to help him out. The three pirates grab under the sign and then all attempt to lift the sign up together but to no avail.
"Dammit this things too heavy!" One of the pirates says
"We can't leave these people under here so just keep lifting!" The main pirate yells
The three continue to try and lift the sign but still to no avail. As they continue to give it all they then receive some unexpected help…
The nearby marines rush over and grab a hold of the sign as well, "Need some help?" The Lead Marine of the group asks.
The three pirates look at the marines in shock and confusion, but putting this aside quickly get back to trying to lift the sign up. All three pirates and marines lift with everything they got and manage to finally lift the sign up revealing the trapped Fishman father and his two children.
"Hurry get out of there!" One of the Marines yell
Quickly the father and his two children crawl out of the rubble allowing the marines and pirates to release the sign.
"Thank you, thank you so much." The Fishman says as he takes his children and runs off.
The two groups stare at each other; the leader of the group of Marines nods his head in appreciation, after a couple of seconds the leader of the pirate group replies with a nod as well. Just then from both sides a large group of both marines and pirates appear behind their three men and upon seeing each other quickly aim their weapons and prep their swords for combat.
"Hold it!" Both the Pirate and Marine yell at the same time stopping both of their sides.
The Pirate and Marine then look at each other for a couple of seconds before then looking back at their men, "Work with the pirates to take these things down!" The Marine yells
"What!?" Many of the Marines yell in shock
"Same for you guys! Work with the marines!"
"What!?" Many of the Pirates yell
"Listen we need to work together if we're going to take these creeps down! Unless you want to die now fight side by side!" Both Pirate and Marine yell at the same time to their men.
Just then a large contingent of Cerberus and Husks appear out of the alleyways behind the Marines opening fire immediately taking down a couple of marines before everyone else can react. The two groups quickly find cover and begin returning fire as with the situation now have no choice but to work side by side whether they liked it or not.
However the one group wasn't the only one…
All over Fishman Island, Pirates and Marines out of the blue put their differences aside and begin working together to fight back the Reaper and Cerberus forces helping out the Fishman army forces as well. All over the Fishman Islands, the combining of the three forces begin to make progress against the Reaper and Cerberus forces all over the island. However they have only made a small difference as the Cerberus and Reaper forces with the help from the Harvesters continue taking down the combined forces of the pirates, marines and fishman soldiers as they cannot take down or even hit any of the harvesters with their weapons.
…
In another part of the city, a Lieutenant Commander Marine with light blond hair tied back into a ponytail a hat, junior officers marine coat, a scarf and a rather odd looking visor that covers his eyes and armed with two Kukris' engages in close quarters with a group of Husks around him. The Marine charges forward cutting across one Husk with one of his Kukri and then jumping to the other nearby and slashing it across the chest as well with his other Kukri before then leaping forward and swinging both of his kukris' at the same time across a Husks neck. As the marine lands on the ground in a kneeling position with his kukris' held outward the Husk then falls down dead with its head decapitated. As the man stands back up he is unaware of a Cerberus Phantom de-activating its cloak behind him and bring up her sword as she prepares to bring it down. However before the phantom can do anything a figure from above comes down at an incredible speed and delivers a powerful punch right onto the Phantom's head breaker her spine and killing her as she is sent straight into the ground.
"Hm? (Turns around) Oh thanks for the save Captain Coby."
Coby, the very first person that Luffy befriended on his travels whose dream it was to become a Marine Admiral and with help from Luffy even made it into the marines to begin with. During the two year time skip Coby had rose through the ranks and had become a Captain with his friend Helmeppo who was now a Lieutenant Commander as his second command.
"No problem Helmeppo. Just try to watch your back for those guys. Looks like they have something that can make them invisible." Coby says as he walks past Helmeppo.
Coby walks up and stops upon seeing seven Cerberus assault troopers and a Centurion stop a couple of feet away from him and then aim their weapons at him. Coby just smirks.
"Take him down!" The Centurion yells
"Soru!" Coby yells
As the Cerberus troops open fire Coby disappears before their very eyes. The Cerberus soldiers stop firing and stare in confusion at what just happened. Just then Coby appears right before the Centurion flying towards him at high speed again and throws a punch at the Centurion. Coby punches the Centurion straight in the face causing the armor to actually cave in shocking the troopers of the immense strength that must've been put behind that punch. The Centurion is sent flying far back to the ground sliding backwards as the Coby lands on the ground in a kneeling position as the troopers recollect themselves of what just happened. One of the troopers to Coby's right charges at him in an attempt to hit Coby with his weapon, but Coby quickly delivers an uppercut to the trooper sending him into the air flying back to the ground. The other troops attack Coby but Coby is able to handle them delivering powerful and deadly punches to each of the troopers hitting them in their chest, stomach of faces and in just a minute manages to take them all out as they are sent to the ground and lie motionless.
"Hm. I hope Luffy and the others are doing okay." Coby says having heard that Luffy and his friends were there somewhere on the island.
…
Somewhere else on the island, the Vice Admiral of the Marines of G-5 Smoker along with his second in Command Tashigi and their men engage in combat with the Reaper forces with Smoker dealing with the Cerberus troops and Tashigi handling the Phantoms. Using the power of his Smoke-Smoke Fruit Smoker launches his upper body into the air over the Cerberus troops below him who fire everything they got at him only for their slugs to pass right through the smoke harmlessly.
"White Blow!" Smoker yells as he pulls his left arm back and then swings it forward launching his fist forward with a smoke trail following behind it.
The fist impacts into the head of a Centurion sending him into the ground as the fist re-tracts to his arm. Smoker then lands behind the Cerberus troops and with his Nanashaku Jitte imbeds it with Busoshoku Haki as he then swings it into a Cerberus troopers face sending him flying backwards to the ground and then quickly swings it at the second trooper to his left also taking him out. Another trooper comes from behind him and fires his weapon at Smoker's head but his head transforms into smoke and disperses outwards before then reforming again into his head as Smoker then swings his Jitte into the trooper behind him taking the trooper out.
Nearby Tashigi swings her sword upward knocking an attacking Phantom's monomolecular blade into the air and then quickly brings her sword down on the Phantom cutting her down as the Phantom goes down dead.
…
Matters take a turn for the worst for the Marines, Pirates and Fishman as soon Cerberus and Reaper forces begin receiving aid as soon Brutes and Atlas Mechs are dropped into the fray causing even more problems for the combined forces. Firing everything they've got at the Mechs and Brutes their weapons even the heavy weapons prove no match for the Mechs and Brutes as the Mechs unleash their massive firepower on the Marines, Pirates and Fishman firing their cannons and rocket launchers at the forces tearing them to shreds while also swinging their claws at any Marines, Pirates and Fishman who charge them and attempt to attack the cockpit. The Brutes meanwhile also brutally smashes every soldier in its way as it swings and slams its massive claws at every attacking soldier that gets near it. The Cerberus and Reaper forces have the Pirates, Marines and Fishman on the retreat once again as the forces don't have the firepower to deal with the Mechs and Brutes. However just then more help arrives once again.
A yellow laser flies past the Pirate/Marine/Fishman forces impacting directly into a Mech destroying it's shields in a single hit as then another laser impacts into it blowing the front of it to smithereens as it then falls backwards out of commission. The Marines, Pirates and Fishman cheer as then a squad of Pacifistas appear and begin firing their laser beams from their hands and mouth targeting the Mechs and Brutes mostly but with some of their shots aimed at the Cerberus and Reaper infantry units as well taking many of the infantry out as well as at least two more Mechs and two Brutes. With the Pacifistas on their side the combined forces begin moving forward again retaliating and starting to push back the Cerberus and Reaper forces.
"Pacifistas! Take down the invaders! Do not target any Pirates! Priority Targets are the invading enemy forces!" The command of the Marines' Science Unit the Marine Officer Sentomaru yells as he carries his massive broadaxe over his shoulder.
All over the island squads of Pacifista arrive to the aid of the combined forces and with their aid begin pushing back the Cerberus and Reaper forces as the Cerberus and Reaper forces have trouble penetrating their tough armor and taking them down. However the Pacifistas are not invincible, Ravagers bash Pacifistas with their heavy hitting cannons dealing massive damage to them even managing to down a few of them, also Atlas Mechs concentrating their fire with their mass accelerator cannons and or rockets are also able to down and heavily damage a couple of Pacifistas well. Brutes charge Pacifistas as two Brutes ram into a Pacifista in front of them toppling it to the ground as they then proceed to slam their fists onto its head smashing its head in a couple of powerful slams.
It has only been thirty minutes…and already dead bodies, massive piles of rubble and signs of battle liter the streets. Smoke pillars rise into the air and explosions echo throughout the entirety of the island as Harvesters continue flying overhead firing their cannons down on the Marine, Pirate and Fishman forces while more Kodiak Shuttles bring in more Cerberus troops.
…
"Gum-Gum Pistol!" Luffy yells in the air as he throws a punch at a Centurion punching him right in the face sending him to the ground and sliding back.
As Luffy lands back on the ground, "Gum-Gum Whip!" Luffy yells as he swings his left leg to the right extending it outwards as he kicks two Cerberus Assault Troopers to his right into the wall of the building behind them leaving an indentation of their bodies on the wall as they fall back to the ground immediately.
More Cerberus troops arrive and surround Luffy as he looks around him to find himself surrounded. However he smirks already knowing how to deal with the problem as he jumps into the air and then twists back his legs in the air, "Gum-Gum UFO!" Luffy yells as then begins to spin around and around horizontally similar to a discus causing him to hover a few feet off the ground as he then hovers around to each of the Cerberus troops lashing out with his legs and kicking any and all Cerberus troops around him taking all of them out in just a matter of seconds.
As Luffy winds down and lands back on the ground he then hears the roars of a large group of Husks and looks behind him to see Husks, Cannibals and Marauders heading towards him.
"Second Gear!" Luffy yells activating his Second Gear ability.
"Gum-Gum (disappears and reappears in front of the Husks with his arms at the ready) Jet Gatling!" Luffy yells as he begins delivering a barrage of punches with the speed of his Second Gear hitting every single Husk in front of him in seconds and sending all of them flying backwards with punch indentations all over their bodies as they land back on the ground.
With the Husks dealt with Luffy grunts in approval when he then hears what sound like large metallic footsteps and machinery behind him and turns around to see a Atlas Mech standing before him as it prepares to fire its cannon at Luffy. Acting quickly Luffy uses his enhanced speed of Second Gear to jump into the air as he then de-activates it and then goes for his Third Gear.
"Third Gear!" Luffy says as he puts his thumb into his mouth and then blows into it inflating his left arm.
"Armament Hardening!" Luffy yells as he infuses his arm with Haki causing the inflated part of his arm and hand turn black.
"Gum-Gum Elephant Gun!" Luffy yells as he throws his Elephant Gun attack at the Atlas Mech as all the trooper inside can do is yell in horror as the Elephant Gun smashes him and the mech causing it to explode.
…
"Purgatory Onigiri!" Zoro yells as he slices through three charging Phantoms in front of him as they go down immediately.
"108 Caliber Phoenix!" Zoro yells as he then swings his swords at a large group of incoming Cerberus Assault Troopers and Husks who stand no chance against the air compressed projectile slashes as they are cut to pieces and sent flying.
Seeing no more Cerberus forces around him Zoro is about to leave, when then he senses something and quickly turns around swinging his swords sideways in front of him to then stop an attack from three more Cerberus Phantoms as they de-activate their cloaks with their blades colliding into Zoro's three swords.
"Hmph. You're going to have to do better than that." Zoro says mumbling with the handle of his third sword in his mouth.
The three Phantoms grunt in anger as they then Zoro pushes on his swords sending the three Phantoms flying back as they back flip in the air and land safely on the ground in a knelt down position with their free hand on the ground and blade held behind them. The three Phantoms look back up at Zoro who then jumps up into the air and then comes down right at them.
"Ultra Tiger Hunt!" Zoro yells as he then performs a descending slash at the three Phantoms as then an aura of a tiger's head appears just as he slashes through them.
Landing behind the three Phantoms Zoro stands up and then sheathes his swords away, as he finishes sheathing them the three Phantoms then fall forward dead.
…
"Collier!" Sanji yells as he delivers a kick to the neck of a Engineer sending him flying.
Sanji jumps into the air as a Cerberus assault trooper to his left fires his Harrier with the shots hitting the ground where he once stood as the trooper immediately stops firing after the first three shots to look up to then see Sanji descend right at him with his left leg extended outwards.
"Collier Shoot!" Sanji yells as he then delivers another powerful kick to the trooper's neck breaking it and sending the trooper straight backwards into the ground.
Sanji then looks around him to see a large group of Husk coming at him from all sides as he then quickly stands on both of his hands and begins twisting around, "Quasi!" Sanji yells as he begins delivering kicks to the Husks that charge him from all sides with none of them managing to avoid his kicks as they are sent to the ground receiving kicks to the sides of their faces or stomachs.
As Sanji takes the last Husk down, he immediately stops spinning and gets back on his feet and looks around to see no more signs of any enemy soldiers around him. Just then from the building behind him a Brute comes crashing through sending pieces of the wall flying as it charges right at Sanji. Sanji however sensing this quickly jump flips backwards over the Brute landing right behind it as it then slides to a stop. The Brute turns back around at Sanji and prepares to charge again.
"Diable Jambe." Sanji says as his right leg then lights and heats up.
The Brute lets out a roar and charges at Sanji again who charges as well at the Brute. The Brute raises its right arm to bring it down and crush Sanji, just as Sanji then jumps right at the Brute spinning around in the air and then extends his foot out backwards.
"Bien Cuit Grill Shoot!" Sanji yells as he then delivers a powerful back kick into the Brute's chest as the chest of the Brute begins sizzling as if it was heating up extremely as then crisscrossed grill shaped burn appears on the Brutes chest as it is then sent flying back crashing into another building which then topples on top of it.
Sanji de-activates Diable Jambe as he takes another smoke before then taking his cigarette out and blowing out some smoke. Just then his eyes become wide in shock as he then remembers…
"Oh no. The mermaids!" Sanji yells as he then runs off to find the Mermaids who may be at the Mermaid café and hopefully save them if they are there.
…
"Gust Sword!" Nami yells as she holds out a piece of her Sorcery Clima-Tact sending forth a powerful gust of wind blowing a Marauder in front of her far back as it lands and slides across the ground.
The Marauder stops in front of a group of Cerberus forces as the troopers, engineers and guardians take aim at Nami.
Nami quickly acts as she spots the Cerberus troops, "Mirage Tempo!" Nami yells as she then swings her Clima-Tact in front of her.
Just as the Cerberus troops fire Nami disappears before them as the shots just fly right through where she was. The Cerberus forces quickly stop firing and begin looking around to try and locate her.
"Hey where'd she go?" A Cerberus Trooper says
Unknown to the Cerberus forces, Nami reappears right behind them preparing to swing it as a long chain of black clouds comes out from her weapon.
"Yuuuhuuu hey boys." Nami says catching the Cerberus troop's attentions as they turn around to see her behind them.
"Storm Cloud Rod!" Nami yells as she then swings the cloud chain around her as then thunder bolts come out from the storm clouds electrocuting the Cerberus forces in front of her as they all yell in pain.
As the thunder stops and the clouds disperse the Cerberus forces all then go down with their armor burnt to a crisp and smoking.
Nearby Nami, Robin as well fights against some Cerberus forces as well.
"Tres Fleur!" Robin yells
Just then three arms sprout out each from the Cerberus troopers and two Centurions in front of her with two hands sprouting from behind their necks and grabbing them while the third hand pushes up on their weapons preventing them from shooting her.
"Clutch!" Robin yells
The two hands on the Cerberus trooper's necks then bends them breaking their necks as they fall down dead. As the Cerberus soldiers go down, a Cerberus engineer hiding nearby holds his Hornet SMG at the ready as he then jumps out of cover and fires a three-round burst from his gun straight at Robin. However just then the Robin in front of him vanishes and in her place petals of flowers float to the ground as the shots fly through them. The Engineer lowers in gun and becomes confused as then two arms sprout from his back grabbing him by the mouth and then bend his head backwards breaking his neck as he falls backwards dead revealing Robin right behind him in her pose having used Cuerpo Fleur to create a body double to trick the Engineer.
…
"Green Star: Devil!" Usopp yells as he pulls back on Kuro Kabuto and releases pop green at a group of Cerberus and Husk soldiers in front of him.
The Pop Green goes off in the middle of the group of Cerberus and Reaper forces releasing gigantic Venus Flytraps which grab a hold of Cerberus and Reaper troops with its large mouths and begin to eat them as well as ensnaring any nearby troopers with their vines. Another squad of Cerberus Assault Troopers appear to his right as he quickly grabs another pop green and pulls back on his slingshot aiming at the Cerberus troops.
"Green Star: Bamboo Javelin!" Usopp yells releasing the Pop Green which flies at the ground in the middle of the squad of Cerberus troops as then sharp and long stalks of Bamboo shoot upwards from the ground impaling the Cerberus soldiers on them as they are raised into the air.
"Kung Fu Point! (Bruce Lee like fighting sound)" Chopper yells as he kicks away two Cerberus Assault Troopers in front of him.
Another Cerberus Assault Trooper comes at Chopper from behind with his rifle held high as he yells attempting to hit Chopper with his rifle, this is a bad choice as Chopper easily just jump twists around kicking the Cerberus trooper on the side of his head sending him to the ground. A Husk comes at Chopper from behind him with the same results as Chopper just jump twist kicks the Husk in the side of the head taking it out. Chopper then notices a squad of Cerberus Guardians form up a couple of feet away from him as they aim their Talons at him.
Chopper jumps into the air just as the Guardians fire their weapons missing him, "Horn Point!" Chopper yells in the air as he then transforms into his Horn Point.
As he goes back down to the ground Chopper quickly changes his position to head first, as he hits the ground he uses his horns to immediately just dig right into the ground causing the Guardians to lose sight of him.
"Shit he's gone underground!" One of the Guardians yell
"Form Up! Watch your feet he'll try and come up at us to attack!" The Lead Guardian yells
The Guardians quickly form a circular formation keeping their shields up and their Talons pointed outward at the ready. As the sounds of battle continue to echo out from all over the entire island, the Guardians keep calm and continue to look for signs of where Chopper is. After what feels like an entire minute nothing happens…
Just then the ground in the middle of the Guardians behind them shoots outwards sending both rock and the Guardians flying into the air with Chopper jumping out from underground, "Horn Cannon Elf!" Chopper yells
Chopper lands back on the ground as the Guardians and pieces of rubble also touch back on the ground.
"Nice job Chopper!" Usopp yells with a thumbs up.
"You too Usopp!" Chopper yells back.
…
"Franky Rocket Launcher!" Franky yells as he presses the line crossing his orb-like shoulder on his left opening it up and revealing three rockets which then shoot out from it at a group of Cannibal and Marauders in front of him blowing them to smithereens.
"Weapons Right!" Franky yells as he turns around and launches his right fist at a Phantom that jumps at him from behind hitting the Phantom directly and sending her flying.
Behind Franky two squads of Cerberus Assault Troopers along with two Centurions and supported by three Engineers appear. The three engineers place down turrets in front of the troopers as the Centurions, Assault Troopers and Engineers aim their weapons at Franky and open fire on him. The high-velocity slugs impact into Franky's back but his cyborg body manages to block the shots as they impact but don't penetrate his armor but catching his attention to them as he turns around with the shots still not doing any damage to his body as he then holds out his left arm.
"Weapons Left!" Franky yells as then his left hand opens downwards like a door hinge revealing a large gun barrel inside of it which then fires out a cannonball towards the Cerberus troopers exploding upon contact destroying the turrets and sending the soldiers closer to the explosion flying while the others are sent sprawling to the ground.
Franky closes his hand and then opens up his knuckles with the three machine gun barrels inside as he then fires them at the Cerberus soldiers still moving putting an end to them as their bodies flinch from the impact of the bullets but then stop moving afterwards.
A group of Cerberus Assault Troopers have their weapons trained on Brook as they charge towards him as he plays his violin.
"Take that freak down!" One of the Troopers yell
Brook continues to play his violin in a soothing melody, "Lullaby…Flanc!" Brook yells as he then swipes his sword one last time over the violin as then all of a sudden the Cerberus Assault Troopers stop in their tracks and fall forward having all of a sudden fallen asleep as they all snore falling onto the ground.
With the area cleared Brook and Franky look at each other and nod as they then both head off in the same direction.
…
"Slave…Arrow!" Hancock yells as she releases a barrage of arrows turning many of the attacking Cerberus and Husks to stone.

Mermaid Café…
A Cerberus Centurion bursts through the front door causing the mermaids in the café to scream in terror as then the Centurion is followed by a squad of Troopers as they aim their weapons and begin yelling.
"Freeze!"
"Stop where you are!"
The Cerberus troops then begin grabbing the Mermaids and forcing them up against the wall making them face towards the wall while the Centurion and two other troopers keep their weapons trained on them.
"Get up against the wall now!" Various troops yell
The Mermaids cower in fear as they are forced against the wall horrified of what might come next.
The Cerberus troops then move away from the Mermaids and form a line with their weapons trained on the mermaids.
"Form up! Prepare to execute them!" The Centurion yells
"Aim!" The Centurion yells
The Mermaids continue to cower in fear as the Cerberus soldiers prepare to shoot them dead, however just then…
A Cerberus Trooper yells in terror as he is thrown through the door flipping over onto his back grunting out in pain as he lands hard on the ground while also catching the other Cerberus soldier's attentions. Immediately after that the wall next to the entrance is destroyed as two Guardians crash through the wall creating a large hole in it rolling on their sides until coming to a stop in front of the Centurion. Master Chief jumps through the hole in the wall side kicking a trooper to his right as the trooper falls backwards onto the ground. Chief lands on the ground in front of another assault trooper who aims his weapon at his head, but before he can pull the trigger Chief quickly pushes upwards on the troopers gun forcing him to fire into the ceiling as he then grabs the trooper by the throat with his right hand lifting him off the ground a couple of feet into the air before then slamming him hard onto the ground. Two more troopers rush behind the Chief and aim their weapons at him, however as Chief stands back up quickly grabs his combat knife and then tosses it straight into one of the Cerberus trooper's necks as he gags from choking on his own blood before falling backwards onto the ground dead with his friend watching all of this happen in shock. The trooper looks back at the Chief too already see him pull out his pistol and fire a shot into his head. The trooper that Chief kicked down is back up and charges at the Master Chief with a shock baton in hand but Chief quickly tosses his magnum from his left hand into his right and turns towards the trooper firing two bullets into him. However another trooper comes up on the Chief from behind with his shock baton and manages to strike the Chief on his back sending a powerful surge of electricity through him as he grunts in pain dropping his pistol and his armors shields flash. However Chief quickly shakes it off as he turns around to his right throwing a left hook at the troopers face sending him into the wall causing a large part of the wall to start cracking. Chief sees the last enemy dot on his motion sensor charging right at him and quickly turns around but is too late as the Centurion charges into him tackling him as then Chief finds himself pinned down on the café's bar table. The Centurion grabs his Hornet and tries to aim it at Chief's face but Chief grabs a hold of the barrel and pushes it away from his face as the two struggle for control of the gun as the Centurion attempts to hold down Chief's other hand.
As the two continue to struggle for the gun, the mermaids continue to cower in fear against the wall watching the battle unfold. Just then Ishilly decides to help the Master Chief as she grabs a metal tray from a nearby table and swims over to the two swinging the tray above her and bringing it down on the Centurion's head causing the tray to become bent and dented as the Centurion lets out a small yell of pain as he looks at Ishilly and then kicks her in the stomach with his right foot sending her flying to the ground.
"Ishilly!" The other mermaids cry out in fear.
Chief uses this chance as he looks to his left to see a kitchen knife on the table and reaches out for it with his left hand managing to grab it as he then drives the knife into the side of the Centurion's neck causing him to yell out in pain and release the Chief as he begins gagging on his own blood. The Centurion grabs a hold of the knife and pulls it out of his neck with his left hand as he places his right hand over the wound to try and plug it up but as he turns around finds the Chief throwing a right hook into the side of his head causing him to twist around as Chief grabs his magnum from the floor and puts a bullet in the back of the Centurion's head as he falls onto his knees and then forward dead.
Chief breathes at a steady pace even after all he's just went through as he then turns and walks over to Ishilly.
"You alright?" Chief asks
"Yes. Thank you for saving us." Ishilly says
"You and your friends aren't safe here. Is there a back door?" Chief asks
Ishilly stands back up, "Yes there is."
"Use it. Get out here and find somewhere safer. This building could come down at any moment with all that's going on outside and isn't a good place to stay safe. If possible try to find some Fishman Army soldiers they could lead you to safety." Chief says
"Of course. Thank you…Master Chief right?" Ishilly says
Chief nods his head as then Ishilly's face blushes bright red having heard and seen him with the Straw Hats and their new friends.
Just then the door explodes open as Sanji jumps in with his foot extended outwards yelling, "Don't worry Mermaids! You're knight in shining armor Sanji is here too (Sees the Master Chief) WHAT THE HELL!" Sanji yells
Sanji then lands on the ground on his back as he is in shock and anger as he slides across the floor impacting into a table knocking it over and sending the dishes on it crashing onto the ground.
"DAMMIT MASTER CHIEF STOP TAKING ALL OF THE GOOD STUFF FROM ME!" Sanji yells in anger.
…
Shepard kicks a Centurion in front of him and then swings his Omni-Blade at an attacking Husk to his right cutting it across the chest as he jumps backwards out of its way. Shepard then turns around into a crouching position and fires his Avenger taking out an assault trooper and cannibal before they can fire their weapons. As Shepard slaps a new thermal clip in he hears the roaring of a Harvester and looks around into the sky to see a Harvester fly overhead and fire down on him.
"Shit." Shepard says to himself as he then quickly begins running as the first shot impacts close behind him.
The second shot lands even closer from the first one as Shepard continues running when the third one impacts just directly behind sending him flying into the air as he flips around impacting into the wall of the building in front of him on his backside as he falls back onto the ground landing face forward. Shepard groans in pain as he turns around onto his back looking upwards as he then sees the fourth shot impact into the building's rooftop sending debris falling right towards him. With quick reaction Shepard quickly rolls to his right to avoid the falling debris as then a large piece of debris lands in his rolling path forcing him to stop as he then looks up to see another large piece of rubble falling right towards him. Acting quickly Shepard gets up and leaps forward to avoid the rubble as it crashes onto the ground. Shepard lifts his face from the ground looking up to then see a large group of Cerberus and Reaper troops appear before him. Shepard tries to get up but finds himself unable to and looks back to find his left leg caught under the rubble. Shepard tries to move it out of there but finds it bury deep under it as he then looks back at the slowly approaching enemy soldiers. Shepard reaches for his pistol prepared to defend himself, though in his situation he didn't know how long he was going to last. Just then gunshots ring out as then the three Cerberus troopers and Husks at the front of the group are hit sending sparks flying from them as they fall down dead.
"Huh?" Shepard says to himself confused as the Cerberus and Reaper forces then stop in their tracks also confused by the event.
Shepard looks around to see no signs of any of his friends or any Marines, Pirates and Fishman soldiers but then looking at the Cerberus and Reaper forces notice them looking up towards the building's rooftop. Shepard turns his head and looks at the rooftop of the building to then see the outline of a figure shrouded by the casting of the sun behind him holding some kind of strange gun in his hand. Upon closer look, he then notices that the figure…is the same one that he saw in Aang's universe. The figure jumps down from the building landing in front of Shepard as he then finally gets a look at who or what the person standing before him is. Shepard sees the figure wearing some kind of strange looking armor colored magenta and black with white outlines and some sort of strange belt around his waist.
"Don't worry Commander. I'll take things from here." The figure says as he looks at Shepard allowing him to see his helmet with two green colored eyes.
Based on the looks of the armor Shepard can tell that it's a human, but still just who was he.
"Who are you?" Shepard asks
"Just a passing by…Kamen Rider. Remember that." The Kamen Rider says
…
With his weapon known as the Ride Book in hand, the Kamen Rider known as Kamen Rider Decade switches it from gun mode to sword mode as then the Cerberus Centurion yells.
"Get him!"
The Cerberus and Reaper forces then charge at Decade who then charges towards them as well. Decade swings his Ride Book at the first trooper in front of his cutting him up his chest as sparks fly from him and he flies forward to the ground dead. Decade then brings his sword down on an attacking Husk cutting it down as he then knocks away an attacking troopers shock baton and cuts him down as well. Three Cerberus troopers form up on Decade's right and fire their weapons at him as the slug's impact into him sending sparks flying but seem to have no effect on him as he doesn't flinch at all. Decade switches his Ride Book to Gun Mode and without looking fires his gun at them hitting all three of them sending sparks flying from them as they all go down. As Decade begins walking forward towards more of the enemy troops with the Cerberus forces aiming towards him and the Husks charging towards him, Decade then takes out a strange card and places it inside his Decadriver.
"Attack Ride. (Closes it) Blast."
Decade then sprays with his gun having gained rapid fire capabilities with the shots impacting into and around the Cerberus and Reaper forces sending them sprawling towards the ground.
"Now to finish things off quickly." Decade says
Decade then takes out another card and places it in his driver.
"Kamen Ride. Kabuto."
Just then Decade changes as he then transforms into Kamen Rider Kabuto. Just then Decade takes out another card and places it in his driver.
"Attack Ride. Clock Up."
Decade steps forward and then charges forward at incredible speeds.
"What!?" Shepard says
The remaining Cerberus and Reaper forces become confused and begin looking around for Decade when just then Cerberus and Reaper troops begin getting hit left and right in just mere seconds apart as sparks fly from them as they are sent to the ground one by one. The Centurion looks around as in just a couple of seconds every one of his men as well as the Husks are hit by a speeding blur sending them to the ground as then the blur stops a few feet in front of him revealing it to be the Kamen Rider as he then changes back. Decade takes out another card and places it in his driver.
"Final Attack Ride. D-D-D-Decade!"
Just then large golden Final Attack Ride cards appear in front of Decade forming a line towards the Centurion who takes a step back in fear of what's going on. As Decade jumps into the air the cards then fly up into the air and form a diagonal line towards the Centurion as Decade then extends his right foot out and begins flying through each of the cards towards the Centurion. As Decade flies through the last card the Centurion yells out as Decade kicks him square in the chest sending him flying back onto the ground as he yells out in pan before then exploding.
…
Decade stands back up and looks at the Commander as manages to free his leg and stand back up as well as he looks at Decade. The two stare towards each other as the sounds of battle continue to echo throughout the island.
"Thanks for the help. Whoever you are." Shepard says
"Hm. Don't worry Commander. I have a feeling we'll be meeting again real soon. I'll be waiting." Decade says as then the same strange grey portal from before appears behind him and then moves towards him engulfing him as he disappears and the portal as well.
"Kamen Rider? Should talk to the Doctor about this. Maybe he knows who he is." Shepard says to himself.
"Shepard!"
Shepard hearing Chief's voice turns to then see Chief, his team, Po, Tigress, the Doctor and the Straw Hats running towards him.
"You alright?" Chief asks
"Yeah I'm fine. How are things going out there?" Shepard asks
"It looks like the Marines, Pirates and Fishman army were able to turn the tide. The Reaper and Cerberus forces are being routed it shouldn't be long until the remnants are dealt with." Chief says
"Already?" Shepard says as he then puts his right hand to his chin beginning to think.
"What is it Shepard?" Po asks
"Something's not right here. There's no way they're already being pushed back. Not that easy. Not to mention…"
"What is it Shepard?" Liara says
"Anyone notice how if their forces are being routed…how come the Reapers haven't done anything?" Shepard says
The group then remember about the Reaper capital ships and look up towards the ocean to see the Reaper ships still just staying where they stopped.
"Forces are being routed easier than expected…Reaper capital ships not attacking…something's definitely up. Things are a little too easy. And when things are too easy it usually means that something's up." Garrus says
"Problem is, what is it?" Chief says
"Commander!" A Cerberus Centurion yells from behind the group.
The group turns around with Shepard and his team's weapons at the ready as Zoro has his swords and Usopp his slingshot all at the ready as they then see a Cerberus Centurion and two assault troopers walking towards them with the Centurion unarmed while the troopers keep their guns trained on them.
"What do you want?" Shepard asks
"I'm only here to deliver a message." The Centurion says as he then pulls out a holographic projector and throws it down on the ground in between the two groups.
The projector activates revealing Kai Leng as he stands with his hands behind his back as he looks at Shepard.
"Kai Leng. Somehow should've figured you'd be behind this." Shepard says
"Nice to see you too again Shepard. So you think you've won this battle that you've routed my forces." Kai Leng says
"Now that I know you're behind this attack I know for sure that something else is going on. What are you playing at Kai Leng? Why keep the Reapers away? If they were here they could've decimated this entire island by now. Instead you send in a large force that was easily defeated by the likes of Pirates, the Fishman Army and the Marines. A little too easy for your taste, if you had you've could've hit this island with everything you got and your forces would be the ones routing the Pirates, Marines and Fishman Army." Shepard says
"Your good Shepard. True, the Reapers themselves could've decimated this entire island to rubble by now and killed everyone. I've could've sent in a lot more troops that would be winning the battle now. But I didn't. It's too bad you're not good enough to tell the difference between an actual attack…and a diversion." Kai Leng says
"What?!" Shepard says in shock.
"Commander!" Neptune's voice is heard
The group look up to see King Neptune and his three sons swimming right towards them.
"What did you do Kai Leng!?" Shepard says in anger.
"Oh nothing much. Just…may have taken someone of great importance." Kai Leng says with a smirk.
Shepard grunts in anger as he then looks back at King Neptune and his sons.
"What is it King Neptune?" Shepard asks
"It—It's…"
"It's our sister Commander! She's gone!" Fukaboshi yells
"What!" Luffy yells in anger.
"Kai Leng!" Shepard yells
"Don't worry Commander. The princess is safe…for now." Kai Leng says
"You bastard! You let her go right now!" Luffy yells
"You want her Commander. Come to Gyoncorde Plaza. I'll be waiting for you. This underwater dump will become you and your friend's graves." Kai Leng says
"You hurt her you bastard and I'll send you to your grave!" Luffy yells
"I'll be waiting." Kai Leng says as then the projector turns off.
"Commander who was that man?" Fukaboshi asks
"An enemy of ours." Sheppard replies
"That son of a bitch." Ashley says
"All of this was a distraction." James says
"Should've seen this coming, he's the one that wants to finish us off. If his forces killed us he wouldn't have the pleasantries of doing it himself." Garrus says
"But to kidnap a little girl." Tali says
"He is a coward." Javik says
"We can't let him get away with this." Liara says
"First he picks on old guys and now little girls; I'm really starting to hate this guy." Po says
"I say we get over to this place and teach him a lesson." Tigress says
"It's obviously a trap. But we don't have a choice in the matter." EDI says
"We'll just have to fight our way out of the trap like we've always done. No matter how many Cerberus and Reaper troops he sends at us we can handle them." Chief says
"Right. King Neptune where's this Plaza?" Shepard asks
"We'll show you the way." Fukaboshi says as he, his three brothers and their father swim off to take the lead with Shepard's team, and the Straw Hats running after them.
"Shepard let me at that Kai Leng bastard." Luffy says
"Leave Kai Leng to me and the Chief, Luffy. You just make sure no harm comes to Shirahoshi." Shepard says
Luffy nods his head.
…
Gyoncorde Plaza…
At the far end of the Plaza, Kai Leng along with a small squad of Cerberus assault troopers and a Centurion await for the arrival of the Commander and his team as behind them Shirahoshi sits on the ground with chains tied around her as tears streamed down her eyes full of fear. Kai Leng walked back and forth in place as he then spotted Shepard's team and the Straw Hats running towards them stopping a long distance away from them.
"Kai Leng!" Shepard yells in anger.
"Hmph. Glad you could make it." Kai Leng says
"LUFFY!" Shirahoshi yells in fear
"SHIRAHOSHI!" Luffy yells
"QUIET!" The Centurion yells as he aims his Harrier at Shirahoshi causing her to cower in fear more.
Shepard's Team and the Straw Hats grab their weapons/prep their abilities causing the assault troopers to aim their weapons at the group as the Centurion kept his gun trained on the princess and Kai Leng stood in place with his hands behind his back looking at Shepard. Meanwhile at the top of the cliffs nearby, The Doctor, Neptune and the three Princes watch the events unfold as sweat runs down Neptune and his son's faces in fear of what might happen to Shirahoshi.
"This is low. Even for you Kai Leng." Shepard says
"Heh what can I say. I do whatever's necessary to complete my missions and win. It doesn't matter who gets hurt or killed in the process. All that matters is your death by my hands. Besides no one will miss this whiney little princess. And the ones who will…will all be dead." Kai Leng says
"You bastard!" Luffy yells
"If you know what's good for you Kai Leng you'll let her go right now and surrender. This time there's nowhere for you to run. Your forces are all but defeated and you're outnumbered. Give up now." Shepard says
At first Kai Leng starts to laugh with his mouth shut before than going out into a full on evil laughter confusing Shepard and the others who don't know what to make of why he's laughing.
"Even after the last two universes you still don't know me well enough apparently Commander. You honestly think I'd come here with just a squad of soldiers to fight all of you. You must really take me for a fool. Well too bad for you than, cause it just so happens that…I've made some new friends during my travels. For example meet my newest ones from this universe, your friends the Straw Hats might remember them quite well." Kai Leng says
It's then that from behind Shirahoshi…Hody Jones, his officers and Vander Decken appear shocking the Straw Hats as well as King Neptune and the Princes who stare in shock as they see Hody Jones and his men walk up behind Kai Leng all no longer old and crippled.
"Ho—Hody?" Luffy says
"Jahahahahhahaha! It's been a while hasn't it Straw Hat." Hody says
"Impossible! Hody?!" Fukaboshi says in shock as his brothers and father stare in shock at seeing their enemy standing there.
"Im—Impossible." Nami says
"How the hell can he and his officers be there and not old anymore!?" Usopp yells
"I have Kai Leng to thank for that. If it wasn't for him I'd never get this chance to have my revenge on you Straw Hat and all of Fishman Island and King Neptune." Hody says
"And if you don't mind Commander. I brought along some other friends of mine as well." Kai Leng says as he raises his hands outward as just then a large portal opens up a few feet above Kai Leng, Hody and their men as just then falling out from the portal…the Witch-King, the Ringwraiths, Gothmog, Lurtz, Loghain, Meredith, Flemeth, the Darkspawn Disciples of the Mother, Durza, Tai Lung and Shen along with the a large force of Uruk-Hai, Orcs, Evil Men, Darkspawn, Wolves along with more Cerberus and Reaper troops as well as a couple of Trolls and Ogres come through all landing safely on their feet as they stand back up with the villains standing behind Kai Leng alongside Hody, his officers and Vander Decken while the soldiers gather with the other Cerberus troops already there.
Shepard and his group all stare in shock as before them stands at least 500 enemy soldiers as Uruk-Hai, Orcs, Darkspawn, Wolves and Husks growl in anticipation for battle with the Evil Men and Cerberus soldiers holding their weapons at the ready for battle.
"Impossible…" The Doctor says in horror at what he sees before him.
"What is it Doctor?" Neptune asks overhearing him.
"The Witch-King…Durza…all of those villains down there should be dead…but no, Cerberus really has begun bringing the dead villains back to life." The Doctor says
Shepard, his team, Chief, Po, Tigress and the Straw Hats all stare in shock at the large enemy force before them but never the less continue to hold their ground as they prepare for the battle.
"Things just got a lot more difficult." Shepard says
"We need to fight our way past these guys and at least free Shirahoshi, we leave her there and she's going to be a target for Cerberus soldiers for when things start going bad for them." Chief says
"Think you can handle that Chief?" Shepard asks
"I'll try. Just try and keep the enemy soldiers at bay if possible." Chief says
"Considering their numbers there…I don't know how long that's going to be." Shepard says
"Just try and give me long enough." Chief says
"Leave Shepard and the Chief to me…kill the others." Kai Leng says to his Centurion.
"Yes sir…Attack!" The Centurion yells as the enemy soldiers all let out a roar/yell as they begin charging forth towards Shepard's team and the Straw Hats.
"Come on everyone! Give them everything you've got!" Shepard yells
"Roger!" All of Shepard's teammates reply
At that moment, Shepard, his team, Chief, Po, Tigress and the Straw Hats yell out as they charge forward towards the enemy forces.
…
Both sides charge towards each other and close the distance fast, Chief jumps forward into the air pulling his right arm back as he then swings it forward punching an Uruk-Hai in the face sending it backwards into the ground. Shepard punches a Husk in the face, Po ducks under a Haradrim soldier's sword swing and Luffy kicks a Cerberus trooper in the side of his head. The others meanwhile either hit first or dodge enemy attacks. Chief takes out his assault rifle, aims it forward and begins unloading on all of the enemy troops in front of him as he begins making his way towards Shirahoshi.
Shepard stumbles back as he recovers and aims his Avenger firing it at a Cerberus trooper and a Rhun soldier taking them out. Shepard looks to his right to see a Darkspawn Hurlock charge towards him as it swings its sword at him, Shepard ducks under it and swings his assault rifle upwards hitting the Darkspawn in the chin with the butt end of his rifle sending him falling backwards towards the ground. Just then an Uruk Berserker attacks Shepard from behind swinging its sword down on Shepard's back striking Shepard down the back as sparks fly from it causing Shepard to yell out in pain as his Kinetic Barriers flash from the impact of the weapon as he falls forward onto his knees. The Berserker prepares to strike again but Shepard quickly powers up his biotics and turning around sends a Biotic Shockwave at the Berserker sending it flying back. Ashley rolls backwards and aims her Avenger at a Phantom in front of her, but the Phantom is too quick and kicks the rifle out of Ashley's hands. The Phantom then kicks Ashley in her chest sending her stumbling back a few feet as she then regains her balance only for the Phantom to run up to her and jump twist kick her on the side of her face sending her rolling to the ground. James raises his rifle sideways into the air to stop a Wolf's attack but another Wolf strikes him slashing across his stomach sending sparks flying as his kinetic barriers flash from the damage as James grunts in pain as then the other attacking Wolf pulls away from James revealing a Hurlock with a mace charging towards him as it swings its mace at James hitting him in the chest sending him flying backwards to the ground. Liara casts a Singularity catching a group of Uruk's and Wolves in it as she aims her pistol to finish them off but is distracted by a yelling, charging Cerberus trooper from behind her as she quickly swings her left arm around sending the trooper flying back with a biotic blast and turns around only to see a Cerberus Centurion swing his rifle at her hitting her in the face sending her twirling around and stumbling forward as then an Uruk-Hai meets her swinging its shield into her face sending her flying forward towards the ground as she grunts in pain upon impact. Garrus swings his Vindicator only for the Marauder to duck under the swing as he then sees a Wolf come at him from diagonally his left and looks only for the Wolf to twist kick him in the chest sending him flying backwards to the ground as he loses the grip of his assault rifle. Garrus quickly pulls out his pistol and fires a shot into the Marauder and Wolf taking them out as then a Cerberus Centurion kicks the pistol out of his hand as then he is grabbed on the neck by a Hurlock Vanguard and lifted off his feet as the Hurlock then throws him sending Garrus flying backwards in the air as he then lands hard on the ground again on his back. An Husk swings its claw upwards at Tali hitting her as sparks are sent flying from her with her kinetic barriers flashing and Tali sent twisting around in the air a few feet of the ground before then landing back on the ground and rolling a few feet, nearby to her right side EDI sends an incinerate blast at a Wolf only to then be attacked from behind by two Orcs who swing their swords down on her back sending sparks flying as she falls straight towards the ground , and nearby EDI, Javik stumbles backwards before stopping himself as he then swings the butt end of his weapon into a Husk to his left and then kicking a Genlock to his right as he is then pelted by slugs sending sparks flying from him and his kinetic barriers flashing as he is sent stumbling back even more from the shots.
Luffy's outstretched arms grab onto a Cerberus Guardian's shield, "Gum-Gum Rocket!" Luffy yells as he pulls himself towards the Guardian at incredible speed impacting into the Guardian's shield with enough force to send the Guardian flying back as he crashes into an Orc and Genlock.
Luffy lands back on the ground and quickly punches an Uruk-Hai to his right and follows with a kick with his right leg to the Rhun soldier on his left.
"Gum-Gum Whip!" Luffy yells as he pulls back on his left leg and then throws it stretching it outward kicking aside a large group of enemy troops in front of him.
Luffy begins to run forward when then he stops in his tracks as before him are a Cerberus Centurion and three Ravagers.
"Fire!" The Centurion yells
The three Ravagers open up on Luffy as the shots impact all around Luffy causing explosions all around him as he screams in pain flailing his arms about as he is then sent flying through the air landing on the ground hard as he groans in pain.
"Three Sword Style…Charming Demon Sleepless Night…Oni Giri!" Zoro yells as he swings all three of his swords forward twisting them during the slash allowing him to cut down multiple enemy troops in a single strike as they all let out one last scream of pain before falling down dead.
An Uruk-Hai Berserker jumps at Zoro from behind with its sword held high above its head, Zoro however senses the Berserker and quickly swings around slashing across the Berserker's stomach with two of his swords. A Wolf charges at him from behind and swings his sword at him but Zoro moves out of the way and cuts down the wolf as a Phantom jumps up into the air from behind with her palm blaster aimed at Zoro who swings one of his swords around at her.
"36 Caliber Phoenix!" Zoro yells sending an air slash at her sending her flying back.
Zoro turns around only to be met by the same Centurion and three Ravagers that injured Luffy, "Fire!" The Centurion yells
The Ravagers fire at Zoro with the shots once again impacting all around him sending explosions up into the air around him as Zoro yells in pain as he is sent flying like Luffy from the force of the explosions.
Sanji jumps into the air and manages to land on a Wolf's head in a hand stand confusing the wolf who can do nothing as Sanji then uses his head as a way to attack his comrades, "Party Table Kick Course!" Sanji yells as he begins spinning on the wolf's head allowing him to kick any of the enemy troops near the wolf in the head sending them flying back to the ground.
As he runs out of enemy soldiers that are near him Sanji jumps off the wolf's head and follows with an upward kick to the wolf's chin sending him falling backwards to the ground as he lands back on the ground. Sanji looks around to still find himself surrounded by more enemy troops who were out of his reach when he performed his attack, just then the Centurion and three Ravagers arrive to take him out as well.
Acting quickly Sanji prepares to use Sky Walk as he gets a jump into the air, "Sky Wa—"However before he can do anything a hand grabs his right leg from behind.
Sanji turns around to see a Hurlock Alpha grabbing his leg as then the Hurlock pulls on Sanji's leg and throws him to the ground stopping him from jumping into the air. Upon impacting the ground Sanji lets out a grunt of pain as he then stands back up just for the Centurion to order the Ravagers to open fire on him with the Ravagers firing at Sanji causing an explosion behind him that sends him flying forward into the air yelling in pain as he flails his arms in the air.
"Gust Sword!" Nami yells as she sends a blast of air at an attacking Husk sending it flying back.
However she notices still many enemy troops in front of her as she quickly pieces her Clima-Tact back together.
"Mirage Tempo!" Nami yells as she swings her Clima-Tact making her invisible to the enemy troops.
However just then three Hurlock Emissaries make their way to the front of the group of enemy soldiers. The Darkspawn Emissaries take out their staff's and swing their forward casting forth a fireball from the end of their staff's which all fly towards where Nami was. The three fireballs explode upon contact creating a huge blast with the force of the blast taking out Nami's Mirage Tempo ability as she is revealed to have moved to the left of her position as the force from the explosion sends her flying back as she slides across the ground hard and in pain.
"Fire Bird Star!" Usopp yells releasing a Fire Bird Star as it explodes in mid-air revealing the Fire Bird which explodes upon hitting the ground in front of a squad sized enemy group sending them flying back yelling in pain.
Usopp quickly turns around to engage the enemy troops behind him as he prepares one of his pop greens but finds a Haradrim soldier knocking his slingshot out of his hand with the blunt end of his spear as the Haradrim then swings his spear-tipped end at Usopp who quickly ducks under it only for the Haradrim to then plant his spear on the ground and kick Usopp in the chest sending him flying onto his back as Usopp grunts out in pain.
"Heavy Gong!" Chopper yells as he delivers a strong and powerful punch to the face of a Centurion sending him flying back.
A Darkspawn Shriek comes at Chopper from behind jumping at him with its bladed gauntlets at the ready as Chopper quickly swings around delivering a punch to the Shriek's chest sending it flying back. Chopper turns around with his armed pulled back to deliver another punch only to find himself looking at a Brute just as it swings its arm at Chopper sending him flying back as he slides across the ground and reverts back to his brain point.
"Clutch!" Robin yells as she uses her Tres Fleur technique to take out a couple of enemy soldiers in front of her.
Robin hears an Ogre charging towards her from her left and quickly turns, "Treinta Fleur!" Robin yells
Sprouting from the Ogre are thirty arms that are able to wrap around the Ogre stopping it in its charge.
"Clu—" However Robin then hears a roar to her right and looks to see as a Troll swings its left hand forward and then backslaps Robin sending her flying back as her arms then disappear from the Ogre.
Franky punches an Ogre across its face sending it stumbling back, a Troll pushes past the Ogre towards Franky letting out a roar as Franky aims his right arm at it, "Strong Right!" Franky yells as he launches his right fist at the troll hitting it in the face sending it onto its back.
Franky then quickly turns around and opens his left hand, "Weapons Left!" Franky yells as he fires six explosive cannonballs, three at a Brute and the other three at an armored Ogre taking them both. Franky turns around and prepares his machine guns only for another ogre to charge him backslapping him across the face sending him twirling around as then an armored troll with a giant hammer swings it upward at Franky knocking him backward as he twists around in the air and lands on the ground face forward sliding across the ground a few feet.
"Gavotte Bond en Avant!" Brook yells as he propels himself forward thrusting his sword forward into a Darkspawn Alpha driving his sword Soul Solid into the Darkspawn as he pulls it out with the Darkspawn falling backwards dead as Brook lands back on the ground in a kneeling position.
Brook quickly gets back up and begins speeding up to avoid incoming enemy fire as they open fire on him to take him out. As slugs and arrows fly all around him Brook quickly prepares his sword to deliver a Three-Verse Humming: Arrow Notch Slash attack, however a few of the Cerberus troopers as well as Cannibals toss frag grenades in his direction with the grenades landing a few feet in front of and around him as Brook passes by some of them as then they all go off with Brook not being able to escape the blast radius of the grenades as he is sent flying back landing on the ground hard in pain.
Po and Tigress engage the enemy troops in hand to hand combat. Po stops and Uruk-Hai's sword in the air above him only for the Uruk to knee him in the stomach causing Po to bend over holding his stomach in pain as the Uruk then hits Po on his back sending him straight to the ground.
"PO!" Tigress yells as she sees her friend go down while struggling with a Cerberus trooper as the two struggle over the gun.
Tigress quickly swings her and the Cerberus to the other side letting go of the gun using the momentum to twist kick the Cerberus trooper's gun away and jump kick the Cerberus trooper in the face. Tigress tries to run over to help Po but is stopped by two Uruk-Hai with pikes blocking her path keeping her back with their pikes held towards her. Tigress acts quickly kicking away the spear on her right and following by grabbing the other pike and using her strength to lift the pike and Uruk-Hai holding it over her as the Uruk falls onto its back behind her as Tigress once again tries to reach Po as he has gotten back up but is still taking a beating from the enemy troops. Po kicks the Phantom behind him away and turns around as he swings a punch at the Centurion in front of him only for the Centurion to grab his fist and headbutt Po dazing him and then kick him right in his left leg's knee sending Po falling face forward to the ground. As the Centurion prepares to kick the downed Po, Tigress jump kicks into the Centurion sending him flying as she crouches low next to Po in a fighting stance.
"Come on Po get up." Tigress says
Po however is in too much pain and struggles to get up as blood comes out from the left side of his mouth and nostril as he attempts to push himself up but falls right back down.
"Po!" Tigress says in a worried tone as she quickly gets down and helps her friend back up as she places his left arm around the back of her neck and holds him up.
"There's—(Groans in pain) Too…many of them." Po says in pain.
"Don't need to tell me twice." Tigress says
A Wolf charges at Tigress who quickly kicks the wolf back with her right leg. Tigress hears the painful grunt of Shepard and looks to her left to see Shepard, Garrus and EDI fighting against the enemy soldiers but being overwhelmed as an Uruk-Hai slashes upwards of Garrus sending sparks flying and him flipping backwards to the ground, EDI swings her pistol downward to pistol whip an Husk only for the Husk to hit her arm away with its left claw and swipe across her chest with its right claw sending her to the ground, and a Cerberus Guardian firing his Talon pistol at Shepard sending him stumbling back as sparks fly out from his upon receiving the shot as his barriers flash from the damage.
Tigress can only stare in horror as she sees the others getting hurt as then, "Tigress look out!" Po yells snapping her back as a Shriek comes at Tigress.
Po acts quickly launching himself off of Tigress at the Shriek as he jump kicks the Shriek away and turns to his left only for a Cerberus trooper to attack him with a Shock Baton hitting and electrocuting Po as he yells out in pain.
"PO!" Tigress yells
However before she can do anything a Hurlock Alpha comes at her from behind and bashes the back of her head with its shield sending her face forward to the ground. Tigress quickly turns around and kicks the Alpha away before it can bring its sword down on her, but then for a Marauder to run over to her and kick her in the side causing her to cringe in pain as then the Marauder grabs her by the throat lifting her off the ground and then tossing her backwards as she flies through the air a couple of feet before landing back on the ground on her back grunting in pain.
Chief fires off his last clip of ammo for his MA5D into the enemy troops in front of him taking them out but only for more enemy soldiers to take their place as they surround him from all sides and have stopped his advance to rescue Shirahoshi. Chief looks around him to see the enemy forces surrounding him and his assault rifle out of ammo. Chief tosses aside the assault rifle and pulls out his combat knife as then a Husk charges right towards him. Chief steps aside of the Husks charge cutting across the Husks neck as he does so as the Husk falls forward dead with blood spurting out from its cut. Chief looks back at the others only to see them no faring too well against the overwhelming enemy force as they all continue to fight on but losing their strength to continue fighting as they continue receiving hits from the enemy forces. Chief however becomes distracted due to his friend's distress allowing a Hurlock Alpha to charge him from behind and swing its sword down on the Chief sending sparks flying from the Chief's back as his shields flash as he grunts in pain. Chief turns around and punches the Alpha in the face sending him flying back. Chief looks up to see that he's close to Shirahoshi and with haste continues charging forward to try and save the Princess.
…
As the fighting continues, with the fighting around the island having subsided the surviving refugee's, pirates, marines, fishman pirates, and Hancock, her sisters and warriors hearing the fighting arrive at the cliffs of the plaza and upon seeing the battle all stare in shock and horror as they see the Straw Hats and the Commander and his team taking a beating from the enemy forces as well as Princess Shirahoshi chained up down there in danger. King Neptune, the Princes and the Doctor continue to watch in horror as well.
"There's too many of them…they won't be able to handle all of them." The Doctor says to himself
Coby and Helmeppo arrive as Coby scans the battlefield for Luffy and upon seeing him gasps in shock to see him taking a beating as frag grenades land in front of him and explode sending him flying backwards in the air as he crashes back onto the ground.
"Luffy!" Coby yells in horror.
…
"Fire!" The Centurion yells ordering the three Ravagers to fire again as they begin firing upon every one of the heroes on the battlefield.
Explosions go off behind all of the heroes out in the field; Zoro and Sanji are sent flying forward in the air, Usopp and Chopper nearby are also sent into the air by the explosions, Nami and Robin, Franky and Brook, Po and Tigress, James and Ashley, Garrus and Tali, Liara EDI and Javik, and Shepard and Luffy are all sent flying in the air by explosions screaming/yelling in pain as they all land back on the ground hard.
Upon hearing the explosions and the screams of the other's Chief once again turns around to see the others lying on the ground in pain just as they then begin to forcefully and painfully push themselves back up to their feet.
"Shepard!" Chief yells
Just then Chief sees his motion sensor show a red dot behind him as he turns back around but too late as the Witch-King swings his mace at the Master Chief's helmet hitting it with tremendous force that sends the Spartan flying backwards in the air as he crashes onto the ground and slides across it far away from the Witch-King. Upon stopping Chief quickly but painfully stands back up only to then be charged at by Loghain and Meredith who begin swinging their swords at the Chief who quickly goes on the defense and manages to block each and every attack with his combat knife, however just then the two move out of the way to reveal Durza as he raises a pike from a dead Uruk off the ground using magic.
"Brisingr." Durza says as the pike then becomes engulfed in flames and launched at Chief with the pike exploding upon contact of the Chief sending him sliding back as he manages to hold his ground though not without feeling pain.
Chief looks back up to see Tai Lung charging towards him on all fours and quickly takes out his magnum pistol when all of a sudden a rope dart wraps around his pistol and pulls it out of his hands as Chief looks up to see Shen. Chief looks back to then see as Tai Lung lunges at him as he pulls back on his two arms and then launches them forward at the Chief hitting him across the chest with incredible force sending the Chief flying farther back as his shields continue flashing and the warning alarm goes off inside his helmet. Chief hits the ground hard again but in all of the pain still manages to push himself to stand back up as then Kai Leng appears before him along with Hody Jones.
"Water Shot." Hody says as a droplet of water appears on his arm as he then flings his right arm forward sending a large water droplet flying towards the Chief which impacts into him with incredible force sending him sliding back as then Kai Leng aims at the Chief with his Palm Blaster.
Chief looks back up at Kai Leng who then begins firing his Palm Blaster at the Chief. All around him, the shots impact sending up explosions around the Chief as some of them hit the Chief causing him to grunt in pain from each one that hits him sending sparks flying from him as his armor's shields become critically damaged. Finally Kai Leng aims one final shot knowing the Chief's shields are most likely critical and then fires.
The shot impacts into the Chief as his shields finally give away as the force of the explosion sends Chief flying far back.
Shepard and the others all land hard on the ground having been sent far back by the enemy forces attacks as they all groan in pain as all over them their bodies are bruised and bleeding with Shepard and his teammate's armor's showing chips in them and dents. Everyone too injured from the fighting try their best to get back up but find no strength left him them to get back up and continue fighting. Just then the Chief lands a few feet away from them impacting into the ground hard.
"Chief!" Shepard yells as the Chief then rolls back across the ground coming to a halt in front of Shepard and the others.
Shepard and the others with all of the strength they can muster but in a lot of pain manage to still stand back up as they walk over to the Chief with Shepard kneeling down to check on the Chief.
"Chief? Chief!" Shepard says
After hearing nothing from the Chief, Shepard then hears the Chief begin to groan in pain as he pushes himself back up.
"We…can't give up." Chief says as he pushes himself to stand back up but as he takes a step forward immediately falls forward to his knees in pain causing the others to gasp in horror.
"Chief!" Shepard says
"Shepard!" The Doctor yells
Shepard hearing the yell looks up to then see the enemy forces form up with Kai Leng and the other villains at the front.
"Fire!" Kai Leng yells
Just then the Cerberus forces, Cannibals, Marauders, Ravagers and Darkspawn Emissaries aim their weapons at the heroes and begin unleashing a barrage of High-Velocity Slugs, Explosive shots and Fireballs at them. The shots all travel to and begin to impact into and around the group of heroes causing large explosions around them and sending sparks flying from Shepard, his team and the Chief as they all begin flailing their arms in the air and yelling in pain.
"SHEPARD! CHIEF!" The Doctor yells
"LUFFY!" Shirahoshi and Coby yell
"LUFFY! CHIEF!" Hancock yells
"STRAW HAT!" Neptune and Fukaboshi yell
As the enemy soldiers stop firing, smoke surrounds the heroes as just then all of them fall forward to the ground full of cuts and bruises as blood covers their faces coming out from their mouth's or noses or both as all of the heroes find themselves in too much pain to even move anymore as all they can do is breath but continue to feel the pain as only Shepard and the Chief attempt to force themselves back up…but to no avail as all of their strength is depleted.
Seeing the Commander and the Chief before him on their stomach's and attempting to stand back up, gives Kai Leng a smile as he knows for sure that the Commander has finally been defeated.
Kai Leng begins to giggle which then turns into laughter knowing that victory is finally assured.
"At long last, the mighty have fallen!" Kai Leng yells with his arms spread outwards.
"You lose Commander." Kai Leng says
"N—Never…" Shepard slips out before grunting in pain.
"Face it Commander. This ends here. You have failed. And because of that…everything you've fought hard for…was for nothing. Now watch as your friends are the first to go." Kai Leng says
Hearing this causing Shepard to gasp in horror, "You—you leave them alone Kai Leng!" Shepard yells in anger.
"Hmph…Finish them. But leave the Commander and the Chief to me." Kai Leng says to a Centurion.
Just then the Centurion along with a large group of other soldiers begin moving in on the Commander and the others with their weapons still at the ready just in case.
"No…St—Stay away from them…" Shepard says
Chief seeing the enemy soldiers heading towards them to finish off Shepard's friends and the other's continues even harder to try and stand back up as he manages to get onto his knees but only to fall back down onto his stomach.
Upon seeing the enemy soldiers moving towards Luffy, Chief and the others to finish them off…both Hancock and Shirahoshi begin to cry as tears run down their cheeks.
Inside Shirahoshi's mind, "Someone…Anyone…Please…Save them…Help them…"
Just then a tear drops down from her cheek and lands on the ground.
…
Inside the TARDIS…
The inside of the TARDIS remains quiet with no one inside but the humming of the machine echoes throughout. Just then, the Universal Connection Gun's panel lights up in a bright golden aura as all of a sudden the Universal Connection Gun seemingly activates itself…however from it forty-one gold orbs shoot out from it as the trap door opening to the inside of the aquarium shoots upwards opening by itself as the forty-one gold orbs shoot out form the water into the air.
…
Back at Gyoncorde Plaza…
"Hey! What's that?!" A Fishman yells
Hearing this causes everyone to not only look at the fishman, but upon seeing him pointing towards the sky causes everyone to look up. Back in the Plaza, hearing this also causes Kai Leng and his men, the men already advancing forward and the still injured Shepard and heroes to also look up into the sky with the enemy forces having to turn around. Just then from the sky, the forty-one gold orbs descend from the sky at amazing speed.
"Well that's new. What in the world is that?" The Doctor says
Kai Leng continues to stare at the forty-one gold orbs that descend down towards the Plaza when all of a sudden the orbs fly over Kai Leng and his forces…and fly right at his men that are advancing on Shepard and the others.
"What the hell?!"
"What are those things!?"
However just then with quick speed the forty-one gold orbs begin streaking across them causing sparks to fly from them as the enemy troops begin to get sent to the ground as they yell in pain as soon in just a few seconds all of the advancing troops go down.
"What in the world?" Shepard says
"What!?" Kai Leng yells in anger and confusion
Just then the orbs turn on Kai Leng and his men flying towards him, upon seeing the orbs fly towards him Kai Leng quickly twists back as then the orbs once again streak across his forces but only at the front of the bulk of the force once again causing sparks to be sent flying from the enemy troops hit by the orbs as they yell in pain and go down with the orbs causing the rest of the forces to back up a few feet. The orbs then shoot out towards Shepard and the others flying over them as then the orbs stop a couple feet behind them and all of a sudden begin to take shape as the many of the orbs shapeshift into human forms while five of them shapeshift into animals and three of them into giant creatures as the humans and animal figures land on the ground in a knelt down position facing away from Shepard and the others. Just as immediately as they landed the figures then stand back up and turn around towards Shepard and the others, revealing themselves to be…Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, Gandalf, Aedan, Alistair, Morrigan, Leliana, Barkspawn, Sten, Wynne, Shale, Zevran, Oghren, Nathaniel, Sigrun, Velanna, Hawke, Bethany, Aveline, Varric, Isabela, Anders, Fenris, Merrill, Sebastian, Eragon, Arya, Murtagh, their three dragons that stand behind the group of heroes, Crane, Viper, Monkey, Mantis, Aang, Katara, Zuko, Toph and Sokka.
"What?" Kai Leng says in shock and confusion
"Well…there's something completely new for sure." The Doctor says
Quickly Aragorn and the other Ancient heroes rush forward to Shepard and the other's aids with the dragons staying behind the heroes but keeping their eyes on the enemy.
"Shepard you okay?" Aragorn asks as he and Aedan help Shepard up to his feet as the others help the rest of Shepard's team, the Chief, Po, Tigress and the Straw Hats to their feet as well with the Straw Hats in a bit of confusion on who these people are.
Shepard continues to groan in pain but manages to nod his head.
"Wynne you know what to do." Aedan says to her.
Wynne nods her head as she then raises her staff into the air which then disperses out strange blue lights above them as the lights then begin descending down on the heroes. Just then Shepard and the others begin to notice their wounds begin to heal up as their cut up skin miraculously stiches back together, their bruises and blood also disappear and all of a sudden they feel their strength coming back to them.
"WHOA! COOL! I feel like I'm ready to start kicking ass again!" Luffy yells in happiness.
"Hoho now that's what I'm talking about." James says
"Oh that's right bad guys the Dragon Warrior is back…in action." Po says
"Don't worry Commander we got your back this time." Eragon says
"Things just got a lot more even." Aang says
"But how is it all of you are here in the first place?" Tigress asks
"Well we can't have you guys taking all of the fun." Monkey says
"Yeah, you guys have been getting all of the action, I think it's time we got some of it for however long it lasts anyways. The only kind of action we've been getting back on the Infinity is sparring with the other heroes. Which ain't all that bad and stuff. But still we'd like to kick some bad guy buts too you know." Mantis says
"How are you here?" Chief asks
"It's a complete mystery to be honest." Aragorn says
"Yeah, first we were just training. All of a sudden all of us heard someone's voice call out for help and…it was as if we just knew that you were in trouble." Aedan says
"Before we even know it we just found ourselves here but none the less ready for battle." Hawke says
"It was definitely strange that's for sure." Eragon says
"But even if we don't know how we got here we're all still ready to help you in this battle Shepard." Aang says
Shepard nods his head with a smile on his face and a grunt, just as he then turns towards Kai Leng and his large force as his face goes serious. The enemy soldiers are all still ready for battle as the Uruk's, Orcs, Darkspawn, Wolves and Husks growl in anticipation while the Cerberus, Haradrim and Rhun soldiers keep their weapons at the ready as Kai Leng just stares in anger towards the group of heroes, full of anger with the unexpected arrival of the heroes from the other ancient era universes having just helped and saved the Commander's life.
"Doesn't matter. We'll just have to kill all of them here and now and deal with those other heroes later on." Kai Leng says
Quickly the heroes rush to form a line as they ready for combat; standing from left to right are Aragorn and his team, Aedan and his team, Hawke and his team, Eragon and his team, Shepard and Chief in the middle with his teammates, Po and the Furious Five, Aang and his team and finally the Straw Hats.
"Take them down!" Kai Leng yells
Once again the enemy force charges towards the group of Heroes.
"Now then let's try this one more time…Come on!" Shepard yells
The group of sixty-one heroes with their weapons at the ready/in their fighting stances charge forward towards the enemy forces as well as the Dragons meanwhile take high into the air with Crane also taking into the air but staying low to the ground close to the others. The enemy forces yell in a battle cry as they continue charging forward towards the heroes as then Cerberus soldiers along with Husks, and Darkspawn, Uruk-Hai, Orcs, Haradrim and Wolves armed with bows and arrows begin firing towards the heroes, the slugs and arrows fly past all of the heroes as they continue charging forward un-wavered by the incoming enemy fire as slugs and arrows fly past them or hit the ground near them. Chief jumps forward in the air flying over the enemy troops in the front as he takes out, primes and tosses a frag grenade where he plans on landing as the grenade lands on the ground and goes off a couple seconds later taking out the enemy troops around it as Chief lands back on the ground with his combat knife at the ready and begins charging through the enemy troops continuing the plan to free Shirahoshi. Shepard sends forth a Biotic Shockwave in front of him sending the enemy soldiers in front of him flying back as he then takes out his Predator pistol and fires three shots one into the head of a Uruk-Hai, Wolf and Cannibal. The enemy force and the heroes clash as once again heroes such as Aragorn, Aedan, Hawke, Eragon, Po, Aang, Luffy, Garrus, Javik, James, Zoro, Sanji, Franky, Legolas, Gimli, Oghren, Sten, Mantis, Zuko, Katara, Tigress, Aveline, Fenris and Murtagh collide with enemy troops either taking them out immediately or getting in a weapons lock with them as the others dodge incoming attacks from the enemy troops as the Heroes engage once again with the large enemy force. Meanwhile the three dragons fly overhead of the forward force and begin scorching fire down on the enemy troops in the far back catching many of the enemy troops in their fire as they begin to burn to death letting out painful screams as they burn while archers and gunners attempt to take down the dragons. Just then the familiar roars of Harvesters is heard as the three dragons look up in the air to see at least twenty-five Harvesters begin to arrive, the dragons quickly take off towards the Harvesters to take them out before they can bombard the others.
…

Shepard blocks Kai Leng's monomolecular blade with his Avenger and kicks him in the stomach sending him stumbling back as he holds his stomach in pain. Shepard runs towards Kai Leng and prepares to activate his Omni-Blade when all of a sudden Kai Leng recovers and quickly aims his Palm Blaster at him and fires as the shots impact in front of Shepard as then the third shot impacts into Shepard sending him back as he rolls across the ground a few feet as the others run up to him.
"Shepard!" Aragorn yells as the heroes regroup with Shepard as Aragorn and Aedan crouch down to make sure he's alright.
"I'm alright. Wasn't as bad as before." Shepard replies
Just then the other villains along with what's left of their force group up behind Kai Leng. Upon seeing some of their old enemies the other heroes grunt in shock. Shepard quickly stands back up as the two sides continue to stare towards one another.
"Attack!" Kai Leng yells
The villains get into their fighting stances with some of them their weapons at the ready as Kai Leng, the villains and the rest of their men charge forward.
"Come on!" Shepard yells as the heroes charge again as once again both sides clash as Shepard once again clashes with Kai Leng as the other heroes clash with their respective villains with the Avatar and his team along with Shepard's team engage the enemy troops.
…
Aragorn jumps back to avoid the Witch-King's mace as it slams into the ground, Aragorn runs back forward at the Witch-King and swings his sword down on the Witch-King who blocks the attack as Aragorn pushes back off the sword twisting around and swinging it at the Witch-King which forces the Witch-King to hop back to avoid the attack. As the two fight, in the background Legolas, Gimli and Gandalf engage the Nazgul as Legolas and Gimli each both engage two while Gandalf manages to hold his own while fighting against the other three Nazgul. Legolas armed with his two Elven blades blocks the Nazgul attack in front of him kicking it back as he then turns around and ducks under the other Nazgul's attack and follows up with a kick to the Nazgul's stomach sending it stumbling back. Gimli swings his battleaxe like crazy keeping the Nazgul's at bay as they slowly back up. Gandalf swings his staff forward hitting a Nazgul in front of him with Magical Kinesis sending it flying back as he then turns around knocking away the other two Nazgul's sword's with his staff and sword as he then swings his staff and sword into the Nazgul on his left's chest sending it to the ground as he then sends another magical kinesis at the other Nazgul sending it flying back.
Aedan swings his sword down to which Loghain blocks with his longsword as he then pushes Aedan back and swings his shield behind him to block Alistair's attack. Loghain is then forced to jump back as then Aedan recovers and attacks him again, Aedan and Alistair begin swinging their swords at Loghain as he begins going on the defense swinging his sword and shield to block each and every attack. Leliana, Barkspawn and Nathaniel engage against the First as Leliana and Barkspawn attack him at close range with Nathaniel keeping his distance. Barkspawn jumps at the First who just swats away the Mabari Warhound as Leliana attacks him swinging her sword and dagger at him as the First manages to keep up with her blocking each of her attacks with is greatsword. Nathaniel fires an arrow at the First who quickly kicks back Leliana as he then blocks the arrow and turns his attention back towards Leliana who recovers and gets back to attacking him.

Wynne and Velanna meanwhile engage in a duel with the Lost as the Lost casts a fireball towards the two who quickly erect their own shields to block the attack. Morrigan meanwhile also engages in a duel with her mother Flemeth as Morrigan casts a fireball at Flemeth who casts back with a fireball as the two spells collide in mid-air causing a massive explosion with the shockwave blowing back on Morrigan and Flemeth's robes as the two calmly hold their ground while staring towards each other with anger in their eyes. Fenris rolls across the ground grunting in pain as Hawke charges forward hopping over his friend towards Meredith as his group engages their old enemy in combat. Isabela swings her daggers at Meredith who moves aside as she then kicks Isabela onto her back as she groans in pain and holds her stomach, Bethany casts a fireball at Meredith who quickly jumps into the air causing the fireball to fly past where she once stood and explode on contact in front of Merrill and Sebastian sending the two flying back. Meredith uses the powers of her lyrium sword to keep her levitated in the air as then Hawke jumps up in the air towards her and casts Stone Fist at her hitting her directly as she is sent flying down towards the ground.
Durza slides back across the ground as he then looks back up to see Eragon, Arya and Murtagh stop a few feet away from him with their swords at the ready.
"(growls in anger) Anori Draumr abr Sundablaka—"
"Stop him!" Eragon yells as the three begin charging towards him
"-it ator Virliger!" Durza yells as he is then surrounded by a shadowy black mist which then shoots upwards with the shockwave sending the three heroes flying backwards to the ground.
The three look up to see Durza once again riding atop his shadowy bat-like creature.
"Saphira!"
"Firnen!"
"Thorn!" The three heroes yell out for their dragons.
Dealing with the last harvester and hearing their riders calling for them the three dragons quickly descend back down towards the ground as they land on the ground next to their riders and lower down allowing Eragon and the others to mount them as they then take off into the air after Durza.
Po kicks away a Cerberus troopers gun as then Shen jumps up into the air in front of him and throws a couple of throwing knives at Po, acting quickly upon seeing this Po grabs ahold of the trooper and moves him in front of him as the trooper then takes the throwing knives as Po then tosses him aside and charges forward towards Shen jumping forward and kicking him back as Shen is sent flying backwards landing and rolling across the ground. The Furious Five meanwhile engage Tai Lung, Tai Lung kicks back Crane as he lands on the ground hard as Monkey rushes past him and jumps towards Tai Lung and attempts to kick him only for Tai Lung to move out of his way causing Monkey to miss him as he lands back on the ground.

"Second Gear!" Luffy yells as he activates his Second Gear ability.
Hody using his Fishman Karate launches a multitude of water arrows at Luffy who uses his Second Gear speed to dodge them as he appears to Hody's right side with his hands extended back, "Gum-Gum Bazooka!" Luffy yells as he lands a hit on Hody's side sending him flying back.

"Why is it that we're the only ones who don't have the fun of facing some of our old enemies? Like where's Ozai or Azula?" Sokka says as he blocks a Uruk-Hai's sword with the Uruk pushing down on Sokka who then pushes back the Uruk's sword causing the Uruk to swing it into the air as Sokka then kicks the Uruk back.
"Think about Sokka. Do you really think either of those two would work alongside the likes of these guys?" Katara says as she water whips away two Cerberus Phantoms and a Engineer.
"Katara's right you know. Trust me I've known Ozai and Azula most of my life they would never work alongside Cerberus, they would try to take over Cerberus and I don't think that'd sit well with the Illusive Man." Zuko says as he drives his two swords into the Haradrim and Wolf in front of him.
"Huh I guess that is true." Sokka says as he puts his left hand to his chin thinking about it as Aang and Toph fight the enemy troops behind him snapping back to battle as he hears enemy troops coming at him from his right and looks screaming in terror and running away as a Cerberus Centurion, Uruk Berserker and Hurlock Alpha chase after him.
As Aang airbends sending the two enemy troops in front of him flying back he then hears a Uruk roar as he turns to see Lurtz charge towards him and swing his sword down at the Avatar as he quickly jump flips backwards dodging it. Lurtz roars in anger and charges back towards Aang and begins swinging his sword wildly at Aang who keeps on dodging each and every swing as he walks backwards angering Lurtz even more. As this is happening Gothmog swings his mace at Katara who quickly ducks under the attack and waterbends into the orc's face sending him stumbling back as she chases after him to try and finish him off. Meanwhile Zuko manages to handle the enemy troops chasing after Sokka who begins to breathe in relief as he then hears a yell on his left and turns to see the Boss Wolf charging towards him with his sword raised. Sokka quickly brings up his sword to block Boss Wolf's attack as the two become deadlocked. Just then both Sokka and Boss Wolf bring their heads back at the same time and then throw them forward headbutting each other…really hard. Following the headbutt both Sokka and Boss Wolf pull away from each other and drop their weapons as they begin yelling in pain while holding their faces.
"OW! OW! OW! OW! OW! OW! OW!..." Sokka yells in pain as he bends over holding his face in pain.
"OW! OW! OW! OW! OW! OW! OW!..." Boss Wolf yells in pain as he kneels on the ground holding his face in pain as well.
As the two continue yelling pain while holding their faces, nearby Toph jumps back and earthbends the ground in front of her shooting the ground upwards into the chin of a Genlock sending it flying back as she then hears the sound of Sokka and Boss Wolf's yelling and looks over to where she hears them coming from.
"When two idiots fight each other no one's ever the winner." Toph says to herself as a Haradrim soldier creeps up behind her and brings his sword back unaware that Toph can sense his movement as she then throws her left fist upward at a 90 degree angle sending a rock shooting upwards into the Haradrim soldiers face.
"OH!" The Haradrim soldier yells in pain as the rock hits his face with the rock then going back into the ground revealing him still standing with his sword held behind his head and his eyes bulging as he then falls down backwards with his sword clattering to the ground.
Shepard powers up his biotics and sends a shockwave at Kai Leng who jump flips backwards into the air as the shockwave passes below him. As Kai Leng lands back on the ground he aims his palm blaster at Shepard who acts quickly and puts up a biotic barrier as Kai Leng begins shooting his palm blaster with the shots impacting into the barrier. As Kai Leng stops firing Shepard lowers his barrier and quickly casts stasis on Kai Leng who isn't able to act in time as he is frozen in place. Shepard takes this opportunity as he runs towards Kai Leng at full spring reaching him just as the stasis fades as he jumps sideways into the air and kicks Kai Leng in the chest with both feet sending him flying back to the ground. Kai Leng growls in anger as he pushes himself back up staring at Shepard as then he puts his hand to his comm in the ear.
"This is Kai Leng. Kill the Princess." Kai Leng orders
"NO!" Shepard yells as he charges forward trying to stop Kai Leng as he throws a punch at the Cerberus assassin only for him to swing his body to the right dodging the punch.
"Roger that sir." The Cerberus Centurion says as he then pulls out his pistol and aims it at Shirahoshi's head.
"NO!" Shirahoshi yells in horror as tears run down her eyes.
However before the Centurion can pull the trigger an axe embeds itself into the side of the Centurion's head as he then falls down dead as the troops look down at their dead squad leader and then look up to see Vander Decken having been the one to throw the axe.
"Hey what the hell are you doing!?" One of the trooper's yells
"If anyone's going to kill the princess it's going to be me!" Vander Decken replies
"You son of a bitch!" The trooper yells as he and the other troops aim their weapons at Vander Decken.
However before the troopers can fire Decken throws five axes towards them as the axes then fly into each of the Cerberus troopers killing them before even knowing what hit them.
"Bahohohohoho! Lucky for me that you fools didn't even realize I touched you making you targets for my weapons to lock on to." Decken says
"Now then where was I…Oh yes that's right." Decken says to himself as he then walks over to Shirahoshi who stares in fear at Vander Decken walking towards her.
"No…No! Stay away from me!" Shirahoshi yells
"Bahohohohoho! It's been a while hasn't it my love. Or should I even call you that after you rejected me!" Vander Decken says
"But don't worry this time it'll all be over sooner. No Noah this time but just a giant axe I have for you. And this time no one's around to save you so lucky for me I won't need my abilities to kill you right here and now." Decken says
Decken pulls out a double-edged axe and prepares to throw it at Shirahoshi when all of a sudden, Chief jump kicks Decken in the side of his face sending him sliding back across the ground. Chief looks up at Shirahoshi and jumps up grabbing onto the chains as he then uses his SPARTAN strength to break the chain links freeing Shirahoshi as he then jumps back onto the ground.
"Get to safety hurry!" Chief says
Shirahoshi replies with a nod as she quickly swims off to her father and brothers. Just then Chief feels a hand touch his back as he then twist kicks around trying to take out whoever touched him only for Vander Decken to jump back in time to avoid the attack as he then lands back on the ground.
"(Growls in anger) you'll pay for that you bastard!" Vander Decken says in anger as he rubs the side of his face where Chief kicked him as it is bruised and almost caved in.
Decken takes out two single-bladed axes and throws them at the Chief who just swings the upper part of his body to the side causing the two axes to fly past him, Chief however notices something as he then spots the axes make a U-turn and come right towards him again.
"Bahohohohoho! Fool! You can't escape the powers of my Mark-Mark Fruit once I've touched you every single one of my weapons lock onto you and you can never escape them once I've thrown them. It's hope—"
However the Chief ignored Decken as he then holds his arms outwards and manages to grab the axe's by their handles.
"WHAT!" Decken yells in shock upon seeing the Chief easily just grab his axes.
Chief then turns around and throws the axes at Vander Decken with incredible speed that Decken doesn't even see them coming as the axe's handles hit him in the head knocking him out as he falls backwards and the axes on him.
"Hm. Doesn't seem to work anymore when you get knocked out." Chief says
…
Aragorn blocks the Witch-King's sword as he then kicks the Witch-King in the stomach forcing him to stumble backwards.
Aedan bashes Loghain in the face with his shield sending him flipping around onto the ground as he then rolls across it.
Hawke blasts back Meredith with a Stonefist.
"Brisingr!" Eragon yells firing an fire arrow which explodes in front of Durza sending him flying off his beast to the ground below as the creature then disperses.
Po jump kicks Shen sending him flying back.
Aang swings his staff sending a strong gust of wind flying at Lurtz, Gothmog and Boss Wolf sending them flying back.
"Gum-Gum Red Hawk!" Luffy yells as he delivers a punch with his fist embedded in flame into Hody causing an explosion that comes out of his back sending Hody flying back.
Kai Leng swings his blade as Shepard ducks under it and follows with a kick to Kai Leng's left side as he jumps back up as he then follows with a punch to Kai Leng's face sending him stumbling back a few feet as he regains his balance. However as he takes a step forward he then hears the Chief on his right and looks to see the Chief jump into the air as he then side kicks Kai Leng in his chest sending him flying back and rolling across the ground a few feet. As Chief lands, Shepard runs up to him as the Chief stands back up and the two look at Kai Leng who uses his sword to start lifting himself back to his feet. Shepard and Chief look at each other and nod their head as they then charge towards Kai Leng. Kai Leng manages to stand back up as he groans in pain and looks up to see Shepard and the Chief charging towards him as he then aims his palm blaster and begins firing like crazy to take them out as the shots impact all around them, as they draw closer Chief pulls back on his left arm while Shepard pulls back on his right arm and embeds it with biotics. Kai Leng continues to fire his palm blaster as the two get closer until they are then within reach as Kai Leng stops firing his palm blaster and stares in shock as then at the exact same time both Chief and Shepard launch their pulled back arms forward towards Kai Leng hitting him at the same time directly in the chest sending out a huge shockwave outwards upon impact as Kai Leng is then sent flying backwards into the air yelling in pain as he does so as sparks explode out from his armor.
Kai Leng is sent flying far back as he then lands on the ground and rolls a foot as the other villains who were drove back as well as the remaining enemy troops rush up to him. Two Cerberus troopers help their leader to his feet but in anger pushes them away.
"GET OFF ME!" Kai Leng yells as he looks back up at Shepard and the other heroes in anger as blood runs out of the left side of his mouth and pants.
The other heroes regroup beside and behind Shepard as Aragorn, Aedan and Hawke stand on Shepard's side with Eragon, Po, Aang and Luffy standing on Chief's side.
Give up yet?" Shepard says
Kai Leng continues to pant as he then looks to his left to see the dead bodies of many of his troops littering the area before then looking to his right to see the same carnage as the bodies of many of his men litter the ground. Kai Leng then turns around to see the villains keeping calm but some of them showing bruises and cuts on their face as he then takes notice of what's left of his men. Out of the original 500 troops he had to begin with…there were less than 30 of them left. Kai Leng grinds his teeth together in anger as he looks back at Shepard growling before letting out a small yell of anger. Just then a red portal appears above them sucking them into it as the portal then disappears.
Shepard and the other heroes continue to look at where the enemy forces once stood breathing calmly.
Just then Shepard gasps having just remembered about the Reaper Capital Ships, "The Reapers!" Shepard says as he turns and looks up to where the Reaper Capital Ships are.
…
Just then the Reaper Capital Ships begin moving forward through the water towards Fishman Island.
"What do you got Garrus?" Shepard asks as Garrus looks through the scope of his sniper.
"They're heading tis way that's for sure." Garrus replies
The other heroes continue to stare up into the sky as they can see the Reaper ships slowly moving through the water towards the island.
"They reach this island and it's done for." Chief says
"And we don't have the firepower to take them out either." Shepard says
As the Reaper ships draw closer to the Fishman Island, something in the shadows moves behind them…
All of a sudden the lead Reaper ship finds itself soon being wrapped around by large orange tentacles stopping it as then the tentacles begin crushing the Reaper.
"What the hell is that?" James says
Luffy upon seeing who it is gasps in happiness, "Haha! SURUME!" Luffy yells
Crushing the lead Reaper Capital Ship is the Kraken that became Luffy's pet, Surume. The Kraken grasps the Reaper ship and begins crushing it with its tentacles as the Reaper begins creaking from the force of the tentacles that are crushing it. The other Reaper ships attempt to kill Surume when all of a sudden from behind the Reaper's gigantic sized fish even bigger than the Reaper ships themselves appear as they then bite down on the Reaper ships with their massive sized teeth easily destroying them in a single bite as the Reaper ships are torn to pieces by the likes of the Sea Kings as then Surume finishes off the other Reaper ship as it is crushed and begins sparking with red electricity all over it as Surume then throws it upwards with the Reaper finally exploding at a safe distance away from the island and Surume.
Upon seeing the Sea Kings and Surume, the heroes all stare in shock and awe at the massive sizes of the sea creatures while Marines, Pirates, Fishman soldiers and refugee's alike also stare up in shock and awe seeing the Sea Kings actually destroy the Reaper ships saving them from certain destruction.
"Gigantic sized fish the size of Kalros…if only Wrex were here to see this." Garrus says
…
A Marine and Pirate are seen carrying a stretcher with a wounded Fishman soldier on it as all around Marines, Pirates, Fishman soldiers and refugee's alike now with the battle over with begin caring for the wounded, searching rubble of destroyed buildings for survivors as well as rebuilding the destroyed buildings.
"You know I'm still kinda getting sick and tired of how Kai Leng is always escaping from us. First it was by ships and now he's escaping by portals, like seriously this guy's always got some kind of thing to escape with." James says as he talks to Garrus.
"No kidding, we should really start trying to like I don't know say break his legs in battle or something. Something that guarantees that he won't and can't escape from us." Garrus says
Meanwhile the rest of the heroes stand around, most of them in a conversation with others and some just leaning against the sides of buildings waiting to leave the place.
"Really? You have the ability to bend air, water, earth and fire to your will! That sounds awesome!" Luffy says as he converses with the other leaders of the groups.
"Hehe it's not much. It's a thing people back in my universe can do, well except for those who can bend all of the element's that only for a single person like me the Avatar." Aang says
"You have some impressive abilities of your own from what we've heard from Po." Eragon says
"And you are pretty skilled in them as well from what we saw on the battlefield. You and your friends could prove to be some powerful allies in the final battle." Aragorn says
"Man still I can't believe all of you guys are from different universes, that is so cool!" Luffy says in awe.
As Isabela and Leliana are talking to one anther the two then notice Brook walking over to them and turn their heads towards him.
"Hello there. If I understand correctly you are heroes from another universe?" Brook says
"Yes that's correct. Gotta say thought I'd never seen a living skeleton with sword skills and abilities like yours. You're pretty good with a sword." Isabela says
"Oh why thank you very much. Now then if I may ask something?" Brook says
"Of course. What is it?" Leliana replies
"…May I see your panties?" Brook asks
Just then Brook is sent falling towards the ground as Nami stands behind him with her fist smoking from hitting Brook to the ground, "STOP ASKING WOMEN IF YOU CAN SEE THEIR PANTIES YOU IDIOT!" Nami yells in anger.
Isabela and Leliana stare in confusion as they then look at each other, "Well I can tell that these Straw Hats are definitely going to be…interesting to say the least." Leliana says
"So you were a female dwarf once and now you're a stone golem?" Franky says
"Yes that is correct." Shale replies
"OW! THAT IS SUPPPERRR!" Franky yells as he forms the star on his wrists again putting them together.
"Not really sure how this is…Super." Shale says
"Because from what I saw out there you got some power behind those punches of yours. Do you really think you could take down those giant ugly things if you were a dwarf?" Franky says
"Hmm…True I guess."
"Exactly! That's why it's SUUUUPPPERRRRR!" Franky yells
"Do you have to always shout that word?" Shale says
As the heroes continue to converse amongst one another, Shepard meanwhile speaks to King Neptune as behind Neptune are his sons and his daughter.
"Thank you Commander. For protecting the island and saving my daughter." King Neptune says
"No thanks needed King Neptune. Especially that last part, Master Chief saved your daughter not me." Shepard says
"I will for sure give him my thanks as well. Speaking of which where is your friend, this Master Chief?" King Neptune asks
"He's uh…busy right now helping the Doctor with retrieving something." Shepard says
At the Thousand Sunny…
Chief carries the TARDIS out of the aquarium and places it on the deck as water drips off of it.
"My TARDIS…my girl." The Doctor says in shock.
Back with Shepard and King Neptune…
"Hm (Nods his head). Still a little hard to imagine that someone like you actually managed to convince Fleet Admiral Akainu to have the Marines and Pirates work together to fight against the Reapers-jamon. A man like him actually agreeing to something like that is…well un-imaginable." King Neptune says
"Heh still can't believe that he had one of his own men tell the Commander instead of himself." Ryuboshi says in disbelief.
"A man like Akainu would never admit it himself that the Marines and World Government need to work with Pirates to survive against the Reapers. Which is probably why he also left the island as soon as the battle was over so he wouldn't need to say it himself." Fukaboshi says
"If anything I'm just glad he agreed to it. I've met men just like Akainu and trust me they can be hard-asses sometimes. But they know that when it comes to situations like this you'll have to make decisions you probably won't like." Shepard says
"So I guess you will be taking off soon?" Neptune asks
"That's right. Wish we could stay around and help you rebuild your island. But we still got a mission to complete and time is of the essence. The faster we can gather heroes and armies to fight against the Reapers, the faster we can save the likes of yours and everyone else's universes from the Reapers." Shepard says
"Those people that came to you and Straw Hat's aid…they're heroes aren't they?" Neptune asks
"That's right." Shepard says as he then turns his head and looks at the other heroes.
"Hm. I'd say that the Straw Hats definitely belong in a group like that-jamon." Neptune says
"SHEPARD!" The Doctor yells
Shepard turns to see the Doctor fast walking towards him while behind him Chief is seen carrying the TARDIS on his back.
"You know Shepard I am still mad about the whole TARDIS in the aquarium thing. My consoles could of gotten wet. Can you please never do that again that would be nice?" The Doctor says
"I'll try my best not to." Shepard replies in a happy tone.
"So, were you able to find out…well you know?" Shepard says as he looks back towards the others before then looking back at the Doctor.
"Not a clue. Looked at the thing and well didn't find anything wrong with it. It was as if it had a mind of its own that called the others here to rescue and help you." The Doctor says
"Well not exactly complaining. Still definitely a miracle that whatever happened to your machine did happen. Otherwise we'd all be dead by now." Shepard says
"Well other than that the TARDIS is already to go." The Doctor says
"Well then I guess it is time we took our leave anyways. Still got a lot more universes to head too." Shepard says
"I'm with you on that one. Though we first need to drop Luffy and the others back off at the Normandy." Chief says as he walks over having been thanked by Neptune for saving Shirahoshi who also thanked him personally.
"Wish we could bring the others along on the mission. But I think our current size is good enough; small size to avoid unwanted attention, can strike fast and hard. Besides if we started bringing along every single hero the TARDIS would probably be full before we got halfway done with this mission." Shepard says
"Alright everyone we're heading out!" Shepard yells out to the others.
As the Heroes gather inside the TARDIS, from nearby hiding behind a building Coby and Helmeppo watch as Luffy and the rest of the Straw Hats walk into the TARDIS, "Aren't you going to say hello or goodbye to Luffy Coby?" Helmeppo asks
"Hm. I don't think now's a good time to see him again. Perhaps another time when he isn't busy being the hero that he is." Coby says
"It's a good thing Akainu isn't here to hear you say that he'd have you executed for sure hearing that Luffy's your friend even though it's only technically and he's still your enemy in terms of you're a marine and he's a pirate. Still can't believe that that Commander fella is gathering an army of heroes and the Straw Hats are the heroes of our "universe" or whatever." Helmeppo says
"I believe they are. I'd say they definitely deserve that title of being the Heroes of our universe." Coby says
"Well whatever you say Coby. Now come on Smoker will be looking for us. Besides you and him were the ones who were put in charge of defending this island in case those Reapers attack again." Helmeppo says as he turns and walks away.
Coby however continues to watch with a big smile on his face as then before Neptune, Fukaboshi, Ryuboshi, Manboshi, and Shirahoshi the TARDIS begins to disappear before finally disappearing into thin air.
"Good luck…Luffy." Coby says as he then walks off.
…
On the Citadel…
"I got to say Kai Leng. Right now I'm not pleased with the results you've had. True, you have managed to gather some allies, some powerful, other's not so much…but the fact stands straight, that you failed to recruit or gain any allies from the Avatar's universe giving the Commander's army one more universes forces then our own…and you've failed to kill any of the Heroes of any of the universes you've been too. You had a chance to kill them all as well as Shepard and his team and the Master Chief and Doctor in two universes, both times you've failed miserably. I'm not in a happy mood Kai Leng, you're my most trusted man and greatest assassin yet you've failed so far to kill any heroes and or Shepard, the Chief or the Doctor. Why is that?" The Illusive Man asks as he walks back and forth with a cigarette in between his fingers of his right hand while talking to Kai Leng who is on a medical stretcher being looked at by Cerberus Medical Personnel.
"My apologies sir. I may have underestimated the likes of the SPARTAN as well as the heroes of the universes that I've been too. But I promise you, I won't allow that to happen anymore. Next time I see the Commander and the Spartan…I'll make sure to end their lives." Kai Leng says
"Well it seems that you'll have to wait to get your chance. It seems that traveling to each of those universes without stopping for a medical checkup, especially after all of the beatings you've taken has left most of your body damaged and broken. Especially after the beating you just took, it looks like you're going to be out for a while. So it seems that I'm going to have to rely on the Clone and Saren to take care of Shepard should they encounter them. Let us just hope that they are having better luck then you've had in dealing with the heroes of the alternate universes as well as gathering allies from ALL of the universes they've been too. Cause right now, things aren't looking to well. Shepard's managed to gather armies from all of the universes he's been to so far as well as all of the heroes as well. Still I'm not saying that I fully trust the likes of the Clone and Saren, those two will most likely be conspiring to take me down whether be working together or perhaps by some other means. But they're just assets that we need if we're to defeat the Commander." The Illusive Man says
"I'm sure our men are keeping a close eye on them as we speak sir." Kai Leng says
"And who's to say that the Clone or Saren haven't managed to convince them otherwise. Like I said Kai Leng, you're my only trustworthy man. Now then, get some rest and when you're ready to get back out into the field. I'll be waiting." The Illusive Man says as he then walks out of the room.
"You'll pay for this Commander. You, the Spartan, the Doctor, your friends and every single hero…will pay for this." Kai Leng says in anger.
…
Back inside the TARDIS…
Having just dropped off the other heroes back on the Normandy, with the Straw Hats like everyone else before them being amazed by what they saw and shown around and after some rest from the battle. Shepard, the Chief, the Doctor and the rest of the team headed back out on the TARDIS towards their next universe.
Inside the shooting range, James and Garrus fire their guns downrange at the moving holographic targets as the targets exploded into pieces upon being hit either multiple times or in the right spot signaling a kill shot.
"Bet that the Straw Hats are having fun learning about the Normandy and the Infinity." James says as he fires training slugs from his Avenger.
"No kidding, though we just got to hope that Luffy doesn't eat all of the food on the Infinity. Our soldiers need that food to be on the ready and keep their stomachs filled as well. And considering how we're doing on supplies and how slow those food supplies are coming in, those men will need to eat the food rationally to make sure they don't run out." Garrus says as he fires a shot from his Mantis taking out another target.
"I'm sure Aragorn and the others will make sure to keep close eyes on him. None of the others will be problems, well except for Zoro getting lost on the Infinity and Sanji and Brook flirting with the female soldiers and heroes. Everything should be fine. Then again we also have to worry about the male soldiers who'll most likely be eyeing Nami and Robin so that could probably be another problem right there." James says as he stops firing just thinking about it.
"Shouldn't be much of a problem really, I'm sure Lasky and the other high ranking officers will keep the men in line. Besides if anything all Nami will start doing it using them and or having them pay her for doing something, I'm sure that'll drive them away from her then." Garrus replies firing another shot.
"True, but considering what she's wearing don't be surprised if what she does to the men doesn't drive them away from her." A male voice says from behind the two.
"Huh guess that's true." Garrus says
Just then Garrus stops shooting as he moves his head away from the scope of his sniper, "Hm?"
Garrus and James then look towards each other.
"Did you say something?" Garrus asks
"I didn't say anything." James replies
"Nami is known for using her looks to get men to do things for her (James and Garrus turn their heads around to see a young man who looks of Japanese heritage with brown hair wearing a grey colored opened coat with a magenta colored t-shirt and some kind of strange looking belt around his waist leaning against a couple of crates looking up at the ceiling with his hands in his coats pockets), but considering there's not a lot to do on the Infinity there probably won't be a lot of uses for her to use those men. So I think those soldiers will be alright, besides most of them are hardened soldiers who will just see her as another female hero or something like that if nothing else." The man says
Both James and Garrus then turn fully around and pull out their pistols aiming it at the stranger with their pistols being loaded with actually slugs, "Who are you and how'd you get on here!?" Garrus questions
The man then stands up straight and turns towards Garrus and James as he then takes his hands out of his pockets and holds his right hand forward revealing a strange card with the face of a figure on it, "I'm just a passing-through Kamen Rider…Remember that." The man says in a calm demeanor
"Henshin." The man says as he then twists the card around and then places it in the strange belt-like device.
"Kamen Ride. (The man then closes the belt) Decade!"
