Disclaimer: Sorry about all the wait for each chapter. School and all... Anywho, I'll try to get in as many chapters as I can this week (Which will only be 2 at the most). I don't own Soul Calibur, and I'm getting sick of saying that.

Chapter Twelve: Cassandra Roasting on an Open Fire...
The thieves cove in Greece was well, a thieves cove. It had the usual crowd of no good stinking people looking for something to steal and either keep it or sell it for big bucks somewhere. Well, Yoshimitsu thought. They're not getting my loot that's for sure! He kept moving along the place until he reached a large platform at the back were many people had already gathered. Cervantes was standing on the platform waiting for the last of the thieves to assemble.
"Since when is he a thief?" Some guy asked Yoshimitsu. He shrugged.
"Since last week, you dum dums! He was appointed master!" A girl scolded. "He had a huge ceremony and everything, don't you remember?"
The two shook their heads.
"I've been out stealing stuff." The guy replied.
"And I've been kidnapping these kids so I can sell them," Yoshimitsu also replied.
"Oh." The girl said and looked back up at stage.
Cervantes cleared his throat and began.
"Comrades, er... I mean: ARR! What be ye problem? Don't be looking at me that ways you yeller bellied... MONKEYS!" Everyone looked away and he went on. "As ye all knows by now, I'm the new master of this here Thieves Cove, blah blah blah. You all are here either to sell, trade, or steal, am I correct?" People cheered, wooted and a drunk threw a chair at the guy who stood next to Yoshimitsu. "Very well then! Let the----" He checked a piece of pink strawberry scented paper. "-- Slave Tradin' begin!"
There were many other people who had slaves to sell, all of them selling high. If those weaklings could sell for that much then just imagine how much I'll get for these---- Hey!
"What?" Yoshimitsu gasped and looked back at his wagon. The kids were gone and their ropes that had held them were cut! "Gosh darn it!" He looked around to see the twerps running off lead by a familiar Greek girl. He got out his flag and sword and chased after them.

"Keep up! This is good exercise!" Cassandra yelled back to her old friends and ex-boyfriend who, she made a mental note, must be beaten within an inch of his life. "Also! I'll be able to say what my weight is instead of just saying, 'I lost weight recently!'"
Yunsung groaned. Why oh why did Cassandra have to come to their rescue? "OW! Watch where you're going!"
"Sorry!" Siegfried laughed. "But I love running! It makes me feel free!" Yunsung was being carried by Siegfried because of his leg being all messed up at the moment.
They kept on running until a group of bandit men stopped them. Yoshimitsu chuckled behind them and they all turned to glare at him.
"Let us pass!" Seung Mina demanded.
"Shut up you crazy lady, I don't like crazy people and---" Yoshimitsu was cut off by Siegfried's laughter. "You too! I never trusted Germans."
At this moment, I would like to apologize to any German people who are reading this. I don't hate Germany or anything like that, I'm half German myself. So, don't kill me and let me continue with the story.
"But we need to... Um... Oh, you know!" Talim searched for the right words.
"Go peepee!" Maxi shouted suddenly. He really had to go...
"Shut yer traps," Yoshimitsu yelled. "Get them!" A whole army of men came running towards them. Screaming and yelling and waving swords and daggers and throwing bombs everywhere.
"Run for it! I'll hold them off!" Cassandra ran into battle only to be captured and tossed in a box. The others decided now was a good time to leave and snuck out the back door.

"So you mean to tell me that Cassandra is in the Thieves Cove?" Sophitia asked later that day when the heroes arrived at her house. "What is she doing there? She's so silly sometimes."
Maxi walked out of the bathroom with a satisfied smile on his face. Relieved at last, he thought.
"I wanted to talk to you, Sophitia," Talim announced. "It's very important, regarding Soul Edge." At the name, everyone shivered in fear. It was like Mina laughing, only she was scarred too.
"I know... I've been thinking about it too," She sat down and sighed. "As long as we live, Soul Edge will too. I've been planning on leaving and getting my children and myself purified somewhere."
"Then we must act fast!" Mina said cheerfully. "The more time we waste, the more time Soul Edge and Nightmare have to be reborn! Let's get moving!"

"Ah! Somebody help me!" Cassandra cried as she was roasted over a fire on a spit. Rotating and becoming an odd brown color. A man pinched her thigh.
"Still tough, boss!" He shouted to Yoshimitsu.
"Eep! Don't eat me!" She yelled at him. Who would ever think they were cannibals?
IXIXIXIXIXIXIXIXIXIXIXIXIXIXI
They were all ready to leave, but one problem still hung to them like a fly to flypaper...
"Poor flies!" Talim said.
Yes, I know...
Anywho, the problem was: Where were they going to go? They brainstormed for some time and after much bruises on their brains had appeared they came up with an answer.
"Ostrheinsburg!" Siegfried suggested. "It's sorta like my old home. Nightmare stayed there, but it should be okay for now."
"But I want to be PURIFIED not MADE MORE EVIL!" Sophitia screeched. The screeching bit reminded the author that Alun needed to be added again, and so he will appear in the next chapter.
"Good, because I miss him," Talim remarked. " So let's go!"
The group then made their way through the town, snatching Yoshimitsu's wagon along the way, and rode off to Germany.

Sorry it took so long! Writer's Block. (sigh) And also, I will be giving the characters new costumes soon! I don't know when, but soon! There will be two chapters given to the new clothes, and I'll include links to the pictures which I'll post on my deviantART page. Or... Here, for people who want it now:
