Omashu: The Song of the Past
The marine base was in uproar as the sounds of gun fire and clashes of metal was heard all around the area. The smell of gunsmoke and blood filled the air as laughter was heard on the roof of the highest part of the base. Four figures were watching the battle as they sat there, enjoying themselves. Just then, four solders appeared around them, but gun shots were heard as all the men fell down.
"God. What won't I do for some popcorn.", said Joker, who blew smoke from his revolver and smile wickedly as the gun spends around on his finger. "Well, in that case, I'll remember to bring some in bed, puddin'" Roulette said as she tossed two derringers to the side and giggle slightly.
"Oi...You two need to get a room." muttered a woman sitting near them, crossing her legs and her eyes were close. She had long, black hair with blue highlights, and had greyish skin and she wears tight, black and blue jumpsuit, black boots, and blue glove. She open her eyes, showing her dark blue eyes, as she looked at the two and sigh deeply, "Why did you two came? We both could of got out ourselve."
"Spade's right." said a dark tan man sitting next to the woman. He had short, brown hair, black eyes, and was extremely musculer. He wears a brown bussiness suit, brown boots, a tan tie, and a tan cowboy hat. "We could of got out in another day." he said with a plain look on his face. Without warning Spade jumped up and hugged him tightly, "I love you, Jack." she said as she kisses his cheek, leaving black lipstick on his cheek.
"Now look who need a room." Roulette snickered as she close her eyes, then she disappeared in puff of smoke as a black ball was threw at her. The ball exploded as it hit the ground, killing men in a quick blaze, "Damn. I missed her.", Spade muttered as she cross her arms and the redhead reappeared, beside her lover, with a smirk. "Well, both of you stop playing around." Joker shouted as he slamed both of his hands down on the roof, causing a huge crack between the group.
"We set you two free, because King ordered us to." Joker got up as he smirk, "If I had it my way, I would just threw two Yukai Kitai at you moron and leave you there." His shadow grew large as it slowly covered the two, "Now, give King a message for me." he said as Spade's face was shocked in horror, but Jack didn't show any fear. Joker move closer as he twisted his cane and pulled on the handle, unsheathing his blade and pointing it at the tan man's neck, "Tell him, his two wild cards need a day off." Then both of them disappeared in the shadow, leaving Joker and Roulette alone on the roof.
"Next time, I'll kill that man." he muttered to himseelf as she resheath his sword and then looked at his lover and then open his arms up to her, "Come to papa." he said as he smiled slightly. She squeaked as she jump into his arms and whisper, "Watching you work turns me on.", she kisses him deeply as they started to make out as the sound of battle wagged on.
-Back to Omashu-
Malchior got up and sighed as he ran his fingers throw his hair, "Nothing in this world is ever easy.", he muttered as he left the area. "True, but there are things to look forward to" Said Jack who just landed on his master's shoulder. "So did you find anything out?" Malchior asked as he walked towards town, "Yes. I found this an owl that told a lot of things." "Really?" "Yes. He even said that the man can glide by a jewel." Malchior sighed as he rub his temples, "I know. I saw it." he mutter. "So did it, but the owl said the crystal moved and sounded like a bird." Hmm...Interesting. Malchior thought as he smirked, carring the case as he hummed to himself. Very interesting.
Malchior then took a deep sigh, as he stoppd and look at the parrot, "Do you have any idea what this question mean?" He ask as he hold up the case, showing the bird the question, making the bird blink and then start to laugh, "You are a baka."
Malchior growl deeply, as he shut his eyes, "I was going to buy you breakfast, but you can forget it." "You don't remember a thing your teachers had taught you." Jack said as he bit his ear. Draco blinked and smiled slightly as he head straight toward the town, "Maybe I can get you a pear or a pomegranate." I never thought Jack will help me out with this.
-At the dojo-
Let's see if he remembered anything of my teaching or that of his familly. The old man said as he shut his eyes and poured himself some tea and sipped it. Roy came into the room and sat down, in front of his sifu with a slightly grin. "Wipe that grin off," "Why?", Roy asked as he reached for some tea only to feel the old man to slap his hand. "Because I'm going to work you to death.", the old man said as he picked Roy up by the callor, looking in his eyes as he smirked, "You going to start with 300 push up, then 300 sit up, then your going to run 40 meters." Roy started to shake as he looked at the man's eyes. "And you're going to do all this wearing these." the old man said as he walked away and came back showing red weights for both his arms and legs.
"Now get them on and start working." He muttered as he tossed the weights to Blaze and then sat down, moaning in pain, I hate growing old. He rub his back as he watched Roy quickly put them on and began doing his push up, "Oi. Not here. In the back." the sifu muttered as he shut his eyes and smiled to himself, Now the D training begins.
Karai just walked in and poured herself some tea, bring the cups toward her lips as she sipped it. She lightly murmur as she enjoyed both the warmth and taste of the tea, she then faced her sifu and couch. "If you have something on your mind, then sip it out." "Sifu...I just need to know what was that battle you did against Mal?" she asked as she brought the cup to her lips and sipped it. "It was a test to see if he can put more then rage and power." he said simple as he got up and yawned slightly, "Now if you excuse me, I got a date with my pillow." he said as he walked out making her confuse more then normal. I swear the more he ages, the more he loose his mind.
-Somewhere deep in the forest-
Animals were running out of the forest as gunfire was heard and the smell of gunpodwer was in the air. "Damnit." yelled a brown hair man wearing brown slacks, brown leather boots, a white botton up, short sleeve shirt, and black fedora, "Why can't I catch a break?" "Maybe because you're too loud", said Jessie was set on a tree branch above the man as she spun her umbrella with a slight smile, "So you're Ken."
"That I am." Said Ken as he put his shotgun over his right shoulder and took off his hat as he slightly bowed, "And who are you, senorita?" "I'm Jessie." she said with a slight smile and jumped off the branch, "Nicolios Jessie." She found as he got a better look at him "And I can't believe I was sent here to give you a message." Jessie muttered as she handed him a red envelope. He shruged as he opened it up and glanced throw it. "Eh, what does this mean?" he asked as he glaced up toward Jessie, only to see her disappear. Look like I going to a fiesta. He thought to himself as he walked away.
-In town-
Malchior was leaned against a wall as he held a pomegranate and Jack in the same hand. He shut his eyes as he began to hum an old song from his past. He stopped and looked down to see a group of kids around ten looking at both of him and the parrot, "Oi, Jack look like we got some company." The bird sat up and looked around, thinking there were bounty hunters around them, but started to chuckle to himself, "What? You never seen a bird before?"
"It's talked." said one as their eyes widing in shock and surpised. "Is it real?" "Can I touch it?" "Can I have one of his feather?" "Can I have him?" Malchior started to chuckle as he watched Jack's feathers start rooflly, trying to keep himself from exploding. with anger, but he couldn't take much more of it.."Mine name is Jack. Yes I'm real. No you can't touch me. My favorite fruit is pomegranan. I love the color blue. I'm not giving you a single feather. And finaly, You can't keep me." Jack shouted as he raise his wings looking like he was ready to fly down and start to beat up the kids.
"Jack. Why don't you go and find Karai." Malchior said as he tried so hard not to laugh. "Fine with me" the parrot muttered as he flew away. Malchior blinked as he felt the kids eyes on himself and smiled weakly as he felt daggers in their glare. He picked up his case and quickly rushed into the nearest shop as he glaced around, noticing it was a musical store. He walked up to the owner and hand him the case and whispered something.
The shopkeeper just nodded as he rushed toward the back and started to whistle. Malchior took a deep breath as he slowly turned around, looking at the kids with weak smile and yelled, "Hurry up, sir." The kids looked at him as if they were planning to kill him. I only have one weapon to face these foes. You're not planning what I think you're plan. I have no choice. Are you sure? I mean you have done this in a long time.From out no where, a guitar came fly toward him and caught it. I have no choose, besides, did you look at those kids. The look like shark and I'm not planning to hit them. Fine, but want are you going to play. The one, I know by heart.
He took a deep breath as he began to plucked the string of the instrument and shut his eyes. He slowly walked out of the store as the children follow him, listening to the latin beat. "Stallion black as the night; The whirl of a cape in the moonlight" Draco being to sing as he sat down in front of a foundtion, "The glint of his sword throw the sliver of fear; when Shadow Blade sundle appear" people began to watch Draco as they form a small crowd, "Tierents that steal from the poor; tempable at his name; Blade is watching them; they can't escape from him; Blade will bring them to shame"
Jessie slowly eased down and landed a few feet away, looking at the crowd as her eyes widing, seeing who was playing the music. "Out in old Azarath, so the story is told; A man will find his destiny shining brighter then gold" Draco keep singing as he played the guitar "The whisper of his name," "Blade" "Stir open hearts of the poor; Blade fight for them, all the night for them; Blade will alway endure; Shadow Blade."
Malchior finish the song and glace at the crowd as he blinked with a slightly grin and laugh, "Well that's it." He then walked away from the group, who looked disappointed, as Jessie just blinked and looked at him, "I didn't know you can play" "Only a few cords.", Malchior muttered as he carried the guitar into the shop and handed it to the owner, who give him the case. He noded to the owner and left with Jessie, blinking as he look at him.
They walked threw the town as people just blinked at them and started to talk about the two. Jesse looked at him and whispered, "That song..." "Hmm?" "That song...where did it came from?" Malchior shut his eyes and sigh to himself, "It came from my homeland." "And that is?" Malchior opened his eyes as he looked up at the sky, "A place that can't be found on any of the maps thanks to the government." Jessie blinked and decided just let it go as they keep walking, "So did you figure the question out?" "No, but I figure it out soon.", Draco answered as they head toward the docks.
-A few hours later-
Malchior smirked to himself as he and Jessie headed toward the dojo, "I don't understand why you ask the man about their schedule?" she said as she looked at Malchior. "Oh..I'm just need to cheek on a few things." He said as he read over his notes again and slided them in his pocket. Jessie just blinked as she tried to figure out Draco, but sighed in defeat as they reached the dojo.
"So did you figure out the answer?" she asked as Malchior opened up the door. "Yes. I think I figured it out" he said as he turned his head, looking at her. "Oh. You think you know the answer, Lil Lizard?" Said the sifu was setting in the door, with a weird grin on his face, "Then tell me, 'What is the strongest power in the world?'"
-somewhere on the island-
"Don.." yelled a man who ran into an old bar and started to pant hard as he fell to the floor and looked up at Don, "I saw that guy..." "What guy?" asked Gin "The guy from last night" he answered as Don was starting to smirk, "What was he doing?" "Asking questions." "Hmmm..." he rubbed his chin as he shut his eyes and standed on top of the table. "I want three of you to watch the docks." he roared as he looked at his men, "I want to know what he's planning." All his crew looked at him and nodded as the three walk out.
-Back at the dojo-
"Where is Roy?", Malchior asked as he narrowed his eyes at the old man, who smirked and shut his eyes. "He just taking a long run." Sifu said with a smirk as he got up and slided a hand in his robe, pulling out a small key on a silver chain, "Now answer the question." Malchior didn't say a word as he close his eyes shut and slowly take a deep breath.
"What is the strongest power in the world?" the old man said as he grown tired of this. Malchior opened his eyes and looked into his eyes as he leaned down. "The most powerful force in the world and the strongest power in the world is..." Malchior shut his eyes as he remember every lession of each master from his past. He stood there as vistions of the past came toward him and slightly hissed as he remember the pain from the lession. His took a deep breath as he smiled slightly "is the will to life."
The old man chuckle as he tossed the key over to the Draco and got up with a smirk, "Remember the will to live is as thin as paper." "I know but it's also powerful in the right hands." Malchior replyed as he walked toward the graden but he stopped as he turned around, "I guess I have to stop calling you old man and start calling you sifu." "You don't have to" the old man said as he sighed and shut his eyes, rubbing his temple, "After I'm done with Blaze, I'm going to retire and do the one thing that I truly enjoy." "Oh, you mean getting drunk and hitting on women.", Malchior said as sifu nodded his head, "You just as prevy as alway."
He disappeared into the back with a chuckle, with Jessie following him, but she stopped as she felt a hand on her shoulder "You better leave him alone. He's going to need some time alone with himself." Jessie sighed as she watched the old man walk toward the kitchen. She shruged and follow him, thinking maybe he could help her understand Draco.
-Back to Malchior-
He held the key toward the lock and slowly slid it in the case as he bite his lip, feeling the power of the blade that's in wait for him. He shut his eyes as he turned the key and opened the case up. His breathing became rapid as he reach in the case and slowly pull out a katana sheathed in a a flaming red scabbard.
Remember the pillers that men, who wielded that sword, put to use it. said Noble. I know. I remember the story. Malchior said to his other self as he opened his eyes and quickly pulled the sword out of the sheath, looking at beautiful silvery-red blade as it shine in the sunlight, Look at it. Yeah, the old man keep it in good shape. Yeah. He must of took good care of it. Of course he did. He sigh as he hold he shut his eyes and slash at the air, then he sheath the blade. He is a man of his word.
So...are you planning to do it? Malchior sigh as he turned to the case and slided his hand inside it, feeling around. You know, you're a real pain in neck. Hey. I'm just reminding you. Listen. You're only here because I went hunting a few years back. So shut it before I throw you with savage, again! I'll behave, Raco. Draco sigh to himself as he pulled out a large golden key, "Time to bring the legand back to life." he said to himself with a slight smile.
-In the kitchen-
"So, what's on your mind?", the old man as he pour himself a cup of tea and sipped it as he looked at Jessie. Ok, just asked him questions that doesn't have to do with Malchior. Jessie thought to himself as he looked up at the old man and smiled sweety, "Can you tell me who is Shadow Blade?" "That's a name I havn't hear of in the longest time.", sifu said as he he put the glass down and looked at her, "Some say he nothing more then a legand, other say he a bandage from a destroy an island, and other say he's a man who's looking for justice." "And what do you think of him?" Jessie asked after she pick up a cup and sipped the tea. "I think he's a baka, who follow his heart." the old man said as he picked up the cup and gulpped it down.
Ok. That really didn't help me out. "I see." she said as Jessie sippe her tea and smiled at him, "Do you know where this legand started?" "Yes." he said drily as the old man sip his tea and looked at her. "Well, what's is the place call?" she asked as she began to feel angry. The old man sighed as she put the cup down and looked in her eyes, "If you want to know where your caption came from, go to him." "He not saying anything." She said as she looked at him, but the old man looked back at her and then got up.
"I shouldn't tell you anything" he said as he shuted his eyes, "But I guess I could tell you something." He then walked over to the sink and poured some water in the pot. "I was one of five masters that teached him how to fight and to follow the code.", he started to boil water. "Code? Whate are these code?" "The code or eight pillers of the warrior are the way his family picked to live their lifes. Anyways, I was the one who taught him how to used kung fu, while another taught him shurikenjutsu, while another taught him about swordsmanship. I'm not sure what the other two taugh him, but I have no idea who or what the other two teach him."
The old man sat down and the stare at her as she just stared back at him. He sighed as looked downward, "I guess you want more." he muttered as he looked at his tea, "He is from an island called Azarath, like that will help you look for it." "What do you mean?" she asked as she narrow her eyes. "The government took care of that island." he said with a sigh as he looked at his tea, thinking he wished he had some rum. "I remember Malchior saied that they took it off the map. What did he mean by that?" "They litterly take it off the map by the buster call." Jessie eyes grew larger as she looked at him, "He was lucky that he was kicked out of Azarath few days before it happen."
The old man picked up his tea and gulped it down. He sighed as he slamed the cup down on the table and got up, "If you don't mind, I'm going to leave, before Malchior trys to kill me for saying too much." he said as he headed for the door."Hold it. I need to know one more thing. Who is buried next to Malchior's parents?" The old man turned and looked at her as if he was looking in her soul, "I am not telling you that.", he then left the room, muttered to himself, leaving Jessie alone for only a second, when Roy appeared panting hard and fael on the floor, sleeping from the hard work out.
-Back to that little island in the South Blue-
"You all were perfect.." Joker said to the criminals with a big grin and started to clap his hands. The criminal got around him as the little town started to burn as the wind blow throw the now empty building, making an eerie screaming sound. ":Hey. You said we were going to get a prize?" yelled one of the killers, which name is Joe.
"Oh, I did Joe." he said as he turn away, "You're prize is a 60 second head start." "Huh?" "59 58 57 56" the man said as he pulled out his blade from his cane. The men slowly turned around and began to run away, but Joe looked at them and then grabed a hold of two people that was in his gang, "Listen you nonskull. We can take him and then we can gather the raise of the guys and become stronger." he said to them as they just nodded in agreement as they pulled out their swords.
"21 20 19 18" Joker stopped counting as all three men jump up and was about to punch him, "Roulette, how about some help." On it." said her voice as she appeared in front the three men spinning due escrima sticks in her hand and smile. "Happi-Sumakku" she said as she rushed toward them, smacking their weapons out of their hands and then she spined around, slamming her weapons into their stomachs, chests, and heads, causing them to black out on top of one another.
"Damn. Now I'm turn on." muttered Joker who was watching the whole thing and smirked to himself. "Puddin, what about should we do to them?" "Keep them." "And the rest?" "I'll take care of that." he said as he faded into the shadow. Roulette just shruged and set down ontop of the knock out morons and smiled as she heared screams and shouted as an eerie voice shouted "Kage Kyu"
Then everything went quite as Joker appeared from her shadow with a grin as both his cane and sword was cover in blood. "I see you had fun." "Oh, who couldn't when you have my power." "You mean the one that you learned when you were a kid or the one from the fruit." "Both." He said as he licked the blade with a slightly chuckle, enjoying the taste, "Mmmm...I love the day I ate the Shakou Shakou no Mi" He sheathed his blade and took hold of Roulette as he kisses her as everyone disappear in purple smoke.
-Somewhere in Omashu-
Malchior walked into the bar as Karai following behind him with Jack sitting on her shoulder. He was carring a small black chest and his father's katana with a slight smile as he walked over to the bar. Everyone saw the two and quickly leaft the bar, knowing if they stayed, they would be in pain and they didn't want to see the doctors. Draco looked at the bartender and handed him a large bag, "I'm renting the place for tonight. So leave the place for a few hours." The man opened it as his eyes turn to Beli sign and nodded as he hand him the keys, "I'll make sure I'll lock up the place."
Malchior glaced up and looked at Karai, "Why don't you get set up in the restroom", he then looked at Jack "You stay here." Jack mumble as he jumped off her and flew over to his master, "You never let me have any fun." Malchior sighed and chuckled to himself, "You're such a prev.", he said as he put the chest down and pulled out a golden key. He hummed the same melody that he was playing earlier as he opened the chest and started to take off his jacket and shirt.
-A few minutes later-
Malchior was wearing a pure black jumpsuit, a red sash, a pair of black leather shoes and black glove. He stopped humming as he seemed somewhat depressed. He sighe as he checked out his shoes and looked at his bird, who just blink, "I can't believe you're wearing it again." "Well, I can't believe he still fits.", he muttered as he pull out a large black cape, with a bit a grey on the inside. He then tied it on as he shut his eyes with a deep sigh, but stopped as he hear Karai walk out, wearing her Looner Lotus's suit.
"So, are you ready?" she asked as Jack flew over to her and landed on her shoulder. "Almost, Lotus." He said as he pulled out an black hat with a red band and a red cloth. He first put on the cloth over his head, then he put on his hat, turning around as he looked at her, "What do you think?" "I think you look very sharp." Karai answered, making Draco smile for a few second but his eyes narrowed as he look at her as she snicker "I hated it when you do that.", Malchior muttered as he sat down.
She sat down in front of him as Jack jump down on the table and looked at the two, "Are you sure this is a good idea?" "Of cousre it is." Malchior said with a sneeze and looked at the bird, "Just think about it. It take a thief to catch a theif, right?" "Oh I get it." Karai said as she crossed her arms with a smirk and Malchior nod, "That's right. To catch a legend, you need a legend."
Malchior: "FINALLY!!!"
Jack: "What?" the bird ask as he flew ontop of Draco's shoulder.
Mal: "The boss man finally give me a sword." he said to the parrot as he smirk.
Jack:"Oi." he mutter as he rolled his eyes, "Well, atless they know one of the reasons I'm around you."
Mal: Smirk as he look at him "Oh...I thought you just here to hit the women."
Jack: "Hey don't say that out loud or the boss put me in a cage or worse, put me in an oven." the parrot said as his eyes widing in fear.
Mal: roll his eyes, "Baka bird."
