Kyoko: Well here is the next chapter. Oh and sorry if most of my chapters are in Zoey's PoV. It's hard writing for this many Ocs and characters so i've decided unless its absolutely needed I will stick to Zoey's PoV but I will state if the PoV changes.

Yossup: Sup!

Kyoko: Yossup what's up?

Yossup: Nothing much.

Kyoko: Care to do the honors.

Yossup: Yeah sure. Kyoko does not own One Piece or any of our parents. She just owns the second generation straw-hats.

Kyoko: nicely done Yossup. Time for the next chapter of Time Lap!


~Zoey's PoV~

I let out a sigh. I probably looked warn out, to everybody.

"Where to begin? There is so much to tell. Ask us something, but don't ask about dreams, we won't tell." I tell them.

"We wouldn't have asked you anyway." Luffy said with his trademark grin.

I smile at him. Robin looks at us then at her crew. Then she turned back to my crew.

"What are we up against? What makes our enemy so powerful you need our help? What is this enemy capable of? How did he get to the past? And what happened to our group in your time. These are the questions we want answers to." Robin listed off questions.

Sadly we have the answers to every single one of them. But the tricky part was telling them what happened without changing the future in the process.

Our parents looked at Robin. There was a look of confusion on their faces.

"Robin what do you mean by 'What happened to our group'?" Ussop asked cautiously.

"It's just something I over heard when I was eavesdropping. It's more of a question that I want an answer to." Robin said.

"Uh..huh" Ussop said with uncertainty.

I sigh. Well time to start explaining.

Oh boy, fun

"Our enemy's name is Darius. He is a future marine in this time, but in our time he is the rank of Commodore. He commands over 20 ships, known as the Marines Black OP unit. Each ship has about 500 men on board. The Black OP unit was created to capture you're future selves. But they also chase us, since we're your future children and we all have bounties."

I pause to let this information to sink in. Atoli took over after I stopped talking.

"The Black OP ships can be distinguished from the other Marine ships. The ships all have Black sails with a same blue Marine seagull logo on them. But they are faster, and more agile then the other Marine ships." Atoli said.

"WHAT!" Ussop shouted.

I flinched from the volume of Ussop's voice.

"Can you be any louder?" I ask rhetorically, "Darius and the Black Ops know what you're capable of in our time. I think that is one of the reasons we need to team up. But don't quote me on that. I have no idea what Aoura is thinking." I say to them.

"Aoura? Who's Aoura?" Luffy asked.

"Aoura is the Time Dimension Witch. We'll tell you more later. Let's leave the new questions till last alright," Tory said. "We need to get through the first set of questions before we can go into the new one. And we may have answers to some of the new questions if you wait till we're finished."

Good old Tory, always the voice of reason.

"Ok!" Luffy said.

I sighed exhausted.

"Ok, lets continue, this is taking longer than it should be." Atoli said while crossing her arms.

"Ok, ok, Darius is heading to an island called Akuma. It isn't that far from where we are now, but it is still a few days away," I tell then I turn to Levi, "Right Levi?"

"You're right to a degree Zoey. We're about five days away from the island. Oh that reminds me." Levi stops talking and starts to dig through her bag.

"Ah, ha! Found it." Levi exclaimed. Then she pulled out a purple box. She hands it to Nami. Nami takes it and looks at it.

"What is this for?" Nami asked.

"Put your log pose in the box. Its is designed to keep the log pose from resetting. I have two of them so you can that one." Levi explained to Nami.

"Ok lets get back to what we were talking about earlier before Levi interrupted." I say annoyed.

"Sorry!" Both navigators say at the same time.

"Ok were was I? Oh, yeah, on the Island of Akuma the ancient weapon known as Zeus can be found. This is the most dangerous of all the ancient weapons. Darius fired this weapon 12 years ago and when you faced off against Darius we didn't know what Zeus was capable of. Now we do, and we don't want him to activate the damn thing."

"So you saw what this...thing can do first hand?" Ussop asked us.

"Yes, Atoli you know more about Zeus than I do so you explain." I incline to Atoli.

"Zeus is the most dangerous weapon. It took awhile but we were able to find out that this was the original weapon from those times." Atoli said to them.

I felt a light tap on my arm. I shot a glance to my right. Roxas was the one who tapped my arm.

Roxas moved his eyes to the door and then back at me. I shot a quick glance at the door and back at him. It was a silent chat. He was telling me that he was going to be leaving the room for a bit.

We must have guest outside.

I shot him a look that said 'Alright' and went back to listening to Atoli telling them about the weapon.

"Pluto and Pluton were created after this weapon and they were made with limitations. Zeus is so powerful that it can destroy islands. It was also what made most of the islands that we know of today." Atoli finished.

"Wait, what? You're just making more questions for us." Nami stated.

"Can you tell us more about Zeus? I would like to know more." Robin said, her voice was lightly laced with curiosity.

"Sorry I can't tell more than that. We promised that we wouldn't give dreams and other information away that would change the future." Atoli said apologetically

"I see, that's too bad that you can't tell us more. But I guess it can't be helped." Robin said almost disappointed.

I smiled apologetically to Robin. We would tell her more but we couldn't.

No one seemed to have noticed that Roxas was no longer with us.

"Ok what else is there to tell you?" I thought out loud.

"What happened to us after our fight with Darius and Zeus?" Zoro asked.

I gave them a false smile.

Time for them to know the truth of the battle.

Everyone of my crew members excluding Roxas looked down.

There was confusion written on Luffy's group faces.

I pulled my hat over my eyes.

"Luffy gave the order to Nami, Robin, Nikki and Karri to take us kids and get out of there. We were taken back to the ship and the anchor was raised. We stayed close enough to the island to still be able to see what was going on but not close enough to be in danger. Zeus was destroyed but at a price." I said with my hat covering my tears.

The look on Luffy's crew faces said it all. They figured out, that the boys never made it through the fight alive.

There was a moment of silence...nobody could bring themselves to say anything

"What happened afterwards?" Sanji asked slowly, breaking the silence that lingered around us.

"After the fighting stopped Nami, Nikki, Robin and Karri made there way back to the battlefield. Kaya was in charge of looking after us kids. They were able to recover your guys bodies and then they sent them out to sea. They also kept your weapons they couldn't bring themselves to part with them I guess." I said sadly.

"Wow! I can't believe that was what happened." Ussop said in disbelief. He put his finger on his nose and it pointed upward when he did that.

"Nikki and Karri are Roxas and Your mom's right?" Nami asked once she recovered.

"Yes, I can't tell you more than that." I said solemnly.

"Speaking of Roxas," Chopper said looking around, "Where is he?"

Everyone but me started to look around the room for him.

"Where did he go? He was just here a minute ago?" Luffy asked. This was the first time he spoke in awhile.

"Outside," I state not looking concern at all.

"Outside he didn't want to hear you telling us the sad truth?" Franky questioned?

"Nope, he went outside when Atoli was telling us about Zeus. He said that we had guest outside and that he was going to greet them." I said like it was nothing new.

"What! What do you mean by that?" They all shouted.

"AHHHHHHHH"

Screaming came from outside. It was followed by the sound of falling bodies as they hit the ground.

"Geez he sure does live up to his nickname doesn't he?" Loki commented.

"Yep!" I chipped in smiling from ear to ear.

Glad the conversation is off that depressing topic.

"What nickname? What is going on out there?" Luffy asked?

"Well we better check and see if he needs help." Tory says as he opens the door for everyone.

Once we were outside we saw the carnage that Roxas caused.

I could hear a faint whistle from someone behind me when they saw the scene before us.

Before us were bodies and I mean bodies. There had to be about 50 of them altogether. They were all spread out across the deck. Their blood was soaking the deck, making it a crimson red.

The deck needs to be washed now.

Roxas was standing in the middle of the carnage, his back to us. In both of his hands were his cursed twin blades.

"Well that wasn't much of a challenge. I was hoping they would put up a better fight than that." Roxas said disappointed as he was sheathing his blades.

"Wow...how did he? How did he know that there were pirates out here in the first place?" Nami asked dumbfounded.

I smile at her.

"Roxas' nickname is 'Silent Demon'" I tell her.

"Roxas always knows when someone is sneaking around. You also can't sneak up on him either." Levi said while putting her hands on her hips.

Roxas turned around to face us now. His face held boredom.

"Sorry about getting blood all over the decking. But I didn't think you wanted the ship to be destroyed either." Roxas said casually.

"Nice one Roxas." I shout to him.

He just smirks, while I grin.

"Great now my SUPER ship is all dirty!" Franky shouts.

We all laugh.


Kyoko: Sorry that it took so long to get this chapter out. And I'm sorry that it is short. I really did have a hard time writing this chapter. It's just something about this chapter that just dragged on and on. Well anyway I hoped that you liked it. Now I'm off to finish my photography homework that is due tomorrow.

BYE!
