Chapter 11
Luffy raised a brow at the six people sitting in front of him before he swallowed his chicken leg whole. "Hey Harry who are these people?" he asked as he studied their weird clothes. "And why is one of them wearing orange?"
Instantly Naruto stood up. "What's wrong with orange? You got a problem? If you do I have a fist here that will-" he started before Vicky shoved a hand over his mouth and muffled the end of the sentence. "Please excuse my brother's rude behaviour" she quickly apologised while Naruto struggled to get her hand off of his mouth.
Yoh chuckled quietly while Harry and Luffy gave the whole scene an amused look. Sara and Ichigo sweat dropped while Maisie⦠While Maisie took all of the food and ate it while everyone was distracted.
"So what are you doing here?" Luffy asked once everyone had calmed down. "Well we have all come from different worlds. There are some people who have targeted some people from different worlds. Yoh, Naruto and Ichigo are targets and we are searching for the other targets before they are captured. Do you know anyone who is being followed by someone wearing a cloak?" Vicky said in one go.
Luffy was silent for a moment as he comprehended what had just been said. Then he reached down for his food and frowned when his hand was met with an empty plate. "Hey where did my food go?" Luffy got up and instantly started to search for his missing food while Maisie silently edged away from the pile of crumbs on the floor.
Ichigo flashed her a 'what are you doing' look and Maisie smiled back. After a while Luffy gave up on his food and sat back down. "You said the targets are being followed by cloaked people, well I have been followed lately by a cloaked girl with a massive water dragon".
"Where is she" Vicky, Naruto and Maisie shouted at the same time as they leapt up. Yoh lazily stretched and got to his feet while Sara and Ichigo stared at them curiously. "You know this one in particular" Luffy stated. "You bet I do, she's my sister" Maisie sighed. "No offence but that is one messed up sister you have if she is trying to kidnap people" Harry giggled.
"Hey that's not very nice" a voice called out from outside. They all ran outside to see Martha sitting on the edge of the boat, her cloak hood was pulled down and her hair flew in the wind. Speaking of her hair instead of being the light brown it was before it was now red. Martha smiled and waved when everyone had made it outside.
"Martha" Naruto shouted before throwing a kunai at her. She simply leaned slightly to the left and the kunai sailed over her shoulder. "Now that's not very nice. It's good to see you too Naruto". Naruto growled at her while Yoh, Maisie and Vicky drew their swords.
Martha chuckled as they cautiously approached. "Really four on one, that's a bit unfair don't you think. "I think you need to recount Martha. It's now eight on one" Ichigo yelled as he and Sara ran forwards with zampactau in hand. Luffy raised his fist and Harry took out a hammer from his belt.
Martha looked at them before laughing again. "No matter, however many of you there are you still cannot beat me". "I think we can" Maisie retorted as she glared at her sister. They all held their weapons to the ready as Martha slowly lifted herself up from where she had been seated.
Suddenly she turned around and gave a high pitched whistle. A loud roar was the only warning they received before the giant water dragon descended from the sky. As it approached it opened its mouth and let a powerful jet of water out at the deck.
The ship shook as the blast impacted sending wood and people flying in all directions. Vicky coughed and a small drop of blood dripped from her mouth and ran down her chin. She looked up as the smoke started to clear and gasped. The water dragon now held the unconscious forms of Yoh, Naruto, Ichigo and Luffy. Martha smirked as they started to fly off.
"No" Vicky shouted as she leapt up and ran towards the retreating dragon. As she reached the edge of the ship she crouched slightly before jumping high into the air. After three seconds she landed on the dragon's tail with a small thud. Martha turned at the sound and smiled when she saw Vicky pull herself up. "Let them go now" Vicky demanded as she pointed her sword at Martha and Yuki her water fairy guardian ghost appeared. "Give up, you can't win so don't waste your time" Martha sneered. Vicky didn't move. "Never. I'll never give up. That's my ninja way, the will of fire. I will protect my friends and I will never abandon them to the likes of you".
"Very well" Martha smirked as she pulled out a scimitar. The golden blade was stained red in places with dried blood and a ruby was encrusted into the hilt. "I think it's time I broke that fighting spirit of yours" Martha sneered before she attacked.
Vicky blocked the blade merely centimetres away from her face. She momentarily struggled against the force of the attack before she pushed back making Martha stumble slightly. "Not bad Vicky but how long can you keep that up?"
Vicky dived to the ground as Martha quickly swung and rolled over as she sent her sword plunging into the dragons back where her head had been. The dragon grunted slightly in response as Martha pulled her sword out again. Vicky was crouched down across from her panting slightly. A single shallow cut ran along her left cheek and blood trickled down her face.
"Your fast, but I'm faster" Martha stated in a sing song voice as she stared at the bleeding cut. Vicky wiped the blood from her face with the back of her hand before she sheathed her sword and started to weave hand signs. Snake, tiger, snake, rabbit, snake, dragon, rabbit and bird. "Water style, Water Prison Jutsu" Vicky shouted as the water suddenly flew up and snaked around Martha. It trapped her in a sphere of water as Vicky panted while trying to get her breath back.
Martha stared at her as she held her breath. Then she smirked. Vicky gasped as the water prison suddenly exploded. The shock of the explosion pushed her back making her fall from the dragon's back. Yuki flew down beside her as she fell. Vicky reached out her hand and held it in front of Yuki. "Yuki spirit form" she cried as Yuki changed into a blue orb with tiny wings and a pair of aqua eyes. "Unity" she shouted as she pushed the orb into her chest.
There was an explosion as the water suddenly flew up and cushioned her fall. Vicky stood up on the water she controlled thanks to her spirit and looked after the dragon that was now several miles away. Martha smirked and waved before they disappeared with a puff of black smoke.
"No she got them" Vicky quietly murmured as she fell to her knees. The water rippled around her slightly as tears started to pour from her eyes. "I'm too weak. I can't even save my friends from one person and now they've been captured".
"Vicky" Maisie shouted as the Going Mary approached her kneeling friend. She leant over the edge of the boat and pulled her up. Once on deck Vicky silently knelt on the deck and stared at the floor. "Hey are you ok?" Sara asked as she waved a hand in front of her face. "I was too weak to save them" Vicky quietly muttered and Sara, Maisie and Harry's eyes widened. Maisie slowly knelt to the floor beside Vicky and pulled her into a hug. "You're not weak, she was just stronger. You are one of the strongest girls I have ever met so don't let Martha get to you like this".
"Yeah and we are going to save our friends" Sara added. Vicky smiled. "Thanks guys you're right. After all everything will work out eventually". Harry knelt down beside the two girls and passed Vicky a cloth which she wiped her cut cheek with. She hissed slightly as it stung but endured the pain.
"Let's go and save brownie locks, carrot head, Luffy and our orange hyperactive knucklehead ninja" Maisie shouted as the four of them sailed off into the distance.
Yoh: Brownie Locks!
Ichigo: Carrot Head!
Naruto: Orange Hyperactive Knucklehead Ninja!
