Chapter 36: Off to Alubarna!

Dislaimer: Don't own anything here except the Oc's

[Rainbase, Ezekiel's POV]

''They're getting away!''

''Pursue them!''

Some random Marines yelled at our retreating backs as I jumped and took in to the rooftops. I sighed in relief that this whole shit was over. The plus side of this would be that I got 70 million berries richer. I'll make sure i'm going to burn them on myself. Maybe get new clothes, weapons, earrings and truck loads of candies. I always thought that earrings were something every pirate should get and candies? I have a thing with sweets.

''Oi! Guys!'' Chopper shouted at us. The little reindeer was riding a huge grinning crab. From my vantage point, it looked pretty cool.

''Those things are good. I remember eating one with my brethens, delicious.'' Angel drooled and was about to lung at out ride.

''No eating our ride.'' I said and grabbed her by the tail. She gave me a angry look as I threw her back on my shoulder. ''I'll get you more of those jerkies sometimes later if you promise to behave.''

''Finee.'' She grumbled as I jumped from the rooftop I was in and landed next to Luffy.

''Looks tasty!'' The Captain also drooled like the lizard perched on my shoulder. That though quickly changed into one of admiration at the crab ''COOL! Cool! Cool! Cool! Awesome! Cool!''

''We get it, the crab's cool.'' I said with a side clance. ''Let's ride with it to Alubarna.''

''We can ride it?'' Luffy shouted in my ear.

''Isn't that what Vivi just said? Moving Crab?'' I said to the excited Luffy who introduced himself to our ride. ''I don't like that grin of his though.''

''Me neither. It looks a little shady.'' Nami said next to me. The navigators way too curious for her own good and I had a feeling it was because of my loot. WHICH I fairly stole from the casino.

I jumped on top of the creature and waved at Chopper. ''Good job, little man.'' He grinned at me and said that the crab is actually a friend of Eyelashes and has a lot of these friends of his around. ''Am I right to assume that their all like...'' I tried to find a good word and looked at Sanji.

''Oh, you mean as charming as me?'' Sanji said with a weird pose of his.

''Perverts was actually the word I was looking for.'' I answered indifferently and sat on the moss like fur of the crab. Sanji did the same and gave me glare.

''Shut up, Snugglebottom.'' He grumbled my nickname out loud. ''That's a pretty stupid name.''

''I'm sure it is.'' I chuckled and tuned out the info about the crab we mounted.

''Guys, hold on tight!'' Chopper shouted. He pulled the rope tied on the crab's eyes and moved it towards east to Alubarna. I was by now completely drained off and many questions came to my mind about todays troubles.

''Maybe I could meditate this off.'' I thought to myself and lied down on the moss when a loud scream was heard around. Looking at the source, it was Vivi being dragged by a golden hook on her waist. I briefly looked at Luffys expression and saw it was one of indifference. Hearing Zoro shout to Chopper for him stop the crab. Luffys face turned back to anger seeing Crocodiles ugly mutt. ''He really need to learn how to decide what mask to put on.''

''It's him! You damned...!'' Luffy shouted and stretched his hand, grabbing the golden hook with a firm grip. He then swapped places with Vivi and threw the Princess towards me.

''What the hell!'' I shouted at Luffy. I was about to jump and go after him when the Captain shouted once more.

''Ezekiel! Don't! I'll go and beat the crap out of him! Look after the crew while i'm gone for awhile!''

''WHAT!'' I practically screamed at his retreating figure. Was he really putting that much responsibility on me? Why? I'm not even a leader material for Gods sake! ''The hell's that supposed to mean! Luffy! Haul your ass back here this instant!''

''Luffy-san!'' Vivi also shouted as she slowly regained her bearings from the collision she made with me.

''You guys go on ahead! I'll be fine by myself!'' I gritted my teeth in frustation at the guys stupidity. With a thud, he then landed on his back while still facing us. ''Make sure you get her there safely! Get Vivi back home!'' Luffy gave us a large grin as my eyes narrowed at the two person further away from Luffy.

Sighing, I sat down and crossed my legs beneath me. ''You heard him Chopper, move it.'' I said and closed my eyes to calm myself down.

''H-Hai!'' Chopper said with uncertainty in his voice. Hell, I could feel that emotion running in all of us, but my hands were tied. ''Let's go!''

''W-wait a second! We're just going to leave him!'' Usopp shouted at me. I just ignored his pleas of protecting him from future danger.

''LUFFY-SAN!'' Vivi shouted, but was restrained by Nami while I opened my one eye and looked at the crew I was responsible for awhile. Closing my eyes again, I tried to meditate. 'Trying' being the key word here while barely listening the crew talking to Vivi.

''Well they won't die on me, that much I know. But why choose me?'' I felt a headache coming my way and rubbed my forehead. ''This just keeps getting weirder and weirder. I have too many questions unanswered and its starting to mentally wear me off.'' A sudden wind and shouts later, my eyelids twitched. ''What was that? Some yelling about sandstorms. Great, Toto-ojisama's going to have his hands full with that.''

We all were silent for quite some time while I spared some glances at them. I noticed Zoro using Eyelashes as a weightbell, Usopp babbling something to Chopper and the rest were silent. Looking down, I saw Angel curled in my lap so I tried not to move too much as the lizard was sleeping.

One thing was certain around here: everyone were worried sick about Luffy and I had a feeling that this slight tension won't be so slight. It all started with Nami reprimanding Zoro about saving his strenght and Sanji butting in. I tried to calm myself down from Sanjis words. It was true that I was sincerely afraid of Luffys health, but I knew he would find a way to beat Crocodile into a pulp.

I always kept my distance from other peoples fights if one said so.

After a couple of insults later. There was a sounds of two skulls being smashed and I opened my eyes to see Sanji and Zoro lying down with bumbs on their head. I shook my head and let them sort out their things. Even if Luffy placed me as his vice-captain. They need to learn that decicions based on emotions won't get them far. Well, they go far even without my help. I'm just being here to have some fun or 'living the dream' as Daxter put it.

Few seconds later, I felt a small tug on the back of my head. Focusing on it, the pull got stronger and with that everything went black in mind.

[Ezekiel's Mindscape]

Opening my eyes, the first thing I noticed around here was the lack of walls with the rune scribbles mocking me. What was in front of me now was... sea and clouds. And wind flowing rapidly past under me. Looking around, I couldn't spot my two friends I came to know in here. I tried to walk forward, but it was futile as I couldn't move anywhere.

Growling in frustation, I looked down and widened my eyes. I was falling from the sky into a small island that was getting bigger by the second! ''Oh my God! I'm gonna die!'' I paniced and flailed my arms with tears running down my face. As a means to calm myself down, I thought back what my 'dad' used to say about his first time skydiving from high altitudes. Scream like hell.

''WAAAAAAAAAH!''

It took me about 2 minutes of screaming when I landed on a heap of sand with a booming thud. The sand rose around me about 3 feet high and buried me under it. I stayed like that for quite a while and stood up with a groan, coughing the sand out of my lungs. What surprised me was that I wasn't in pain and couldn't detect a single scratch on my bare torso.

''Wait, where's my shirt?'' I asked myself as I dusted the sand off me. Looking around the island I landed, I was taken aback by the small cliff with purple moss on it. What I found fascinating though around here was the many huge black rods practically piercing the island from all around. I walked towards the nearest one and stared at it. The thing gave off a weird aura and I decided not to touch it without knowing what it was.

''Okay, i'm in a weird island with weird giant rods and stones with weird moss, purffect~!.'' I said and walked on top of the rubbles until I came across two figures surrounding a campfire. The odd thing was that the fire was dark purple. Shrugging it off, I waved at the two now familiar figures. ''Oi! Yama-chan! Triton-kun! The hell's going on in here!''

They both turned to me and I saw Triton waved back at me. Yama on the other hand ran at me and forcefully glomped me to the ground.

''Your back! Do you know how worried I was! You didn't visit us in like, ages!'' She stood up and dragged me to where Triton was grinning at me. Yama then forcible made me sit on a log around the campfire and left me there confused. What weirded me out even more was that she sat down between my legs and exposed her shoulders. ''You owe me a massage, so get to it.''

I raised my eyebrow at her. ''Since when did you get so... so Nami-like?''

She turned her head to me. ''I thought you'll like me more if I act like her.''

I visibly sweatdropped at that and looked at Triton who shrugged. ''As sweet as it sounds, there's really no need to impersonate a devil. I'd like you to act as the angel you are.'' I tried to sweet-talk with her and got a rapid nod from her. Smiling, I placed my hands on her shoulder and began to massage her. ''Now,'' I began and looked at Triton again. ''I want answers.''

''Of course, ask away.'' Triton bowed at me.

I thought about it for awhile when one came up to me. ''How come can I understand animal language? That stuff freaked me out.''

''Easy, those eyes of yours copied that ability.'' He smiled at me and I was this close to crack his skull open with one of those rods.

''Explain.''

''When you first got the three tomoes on your left eye. The first thing it noticed was Chopper and since your eyes aren't, uhm, the originals. It thought that he was an enemy and proceeded to help you out in your weakened state. Though, the little girl, Apis was it? There might be a little trait of her abilities too.''

''So your saying that its actually a jutsu?'' I said and completely ignored the part where I somehow copied a Devil Fruit-power to some degree as it was utterly ridiculous.

''The sharingans thinks it is.''

I cracked my knuckles to get rid of the strains on it and continued my task of massaging the possibly bipolar woman. ''It has a mind of its own?''

''Yes and no. You can activate it on your own, yes, but only to the two tomoes. If it goes to three by 'feeling' threatened, you will not only lose chakra at rapid pace, but also strain your body. Your sharingan isn't really a bloodline, but...''

''Its a jutsu?'' I continued where Triton hang out the word. ''Well I had theories about them ever since I first saw them, but I need to look more to it.''

Triton shrugged. ''You just happen to have more coils in your eyes than in your body, hence the change of color. It might even be related to that Haki used here, Kenbunshoku Haki (Color of Observation). Think of it as a Naruto version of Haki.''

''That's badass.'' I grinned at him. ''I'll try to look into it when this whole thing with Arabasta is over.'' I then looked around the place and my eyes landed on he giant black rods. ''What happened in here? Not that I mind it, but the change in here's huge.''

With a jolt, Yama stood up and sat next to me where she gripped my arm. ''You like it? I made the island myself...'' She then glared at Triton who rubbed the back of his head. ''I thought youd like the change and I even made the wind here.''

''That's great, its better than the cramped room.'' I sighed as the wind flew past me. ''And those huge pillar of weird... rods?''

''Those tattoos you recently took are the result of it. Since their also part of you now, their part of my island.'' Yama huffed. ''The down side of this is that you can't use chakra efficiently for quite awhile once these are active, so be careful with that.''

A sudden realisation hit me. ''Oh! So that's why my clone, or Eligos, couldn't contact me. Damn. I knew this was too good to be true.'' I grumbled at the lack of chakra usage while using my wonder tattoos I haven't named it yet. The old man said it was called a Troppossfm... I don't know. It sounded stupid as hell though. Shaking my head, another question popped into my mind. Or minds? ''Uhm, what happened to the weird square room?''

They both pointed up and I followed their fingers. What I saw next left me gob smacked. There was a giant square box hovering about 50 metres above us. I couldn't see if the scribbles were still there, but I was confused that I didn't notice it before.

Triton seemed to notice my uneasiness ''Don't beat yourself too much about it. The Poneglyph only appears once your under it.''

I continued to stare at the thing. ''What does a huge stone block, that's supposed to lead me to one of the ancient weapons in One Piece, levitate in my mind?''

''Dunno, I thought it was something important to you, so I left it like that. Though the runes and scribbles went inside out.'' Yama explained to me and started to hop around. Snapping her fingers, a marshmallow bag appeared out of nowhere and began to munch on it. ''Just so you know, that thing was here much longer than I was.''

I just nodded and took a mouthful of marshmallows Yama offered. Stuffing them in my mouth, I progressed everything I learned now. ''And I can't read that...'' A picture of Robin flashed in my mind and I tried to shake it off. ''She is the only one who can read that smut anyways.''

''I know there's a lot Master wants to ask, but your friends are now in slight danger involving crabs and crossing a river with a crab who can't swim. I'll try to probe around here and find something useful.'' Triton smiled at me and we stayed still for good 3 minutes. ''Master doesn't know how to get out?''

''No, Master does not.'' I sarcastically shot back. ''I tried to will the door again, but I guess it runs late as usual.''

Rubbing the back of his head the second time, Triton pointed at the purple campfire. ''Just step on top of the fire and your out.''

''That's it?''

''That's it.''

''Anything else?''

''Try visit time to time. It's been boring here with short stuff here.'' Yama said and gave me a tight hug which I returned. ''And be safe.''

''I'm always safe.'' A hard glare later from the katana, I smiled at her. ''Hai, Yama-chan.'' I walked on top of the fire and I was surprised that it didn't burn. Seconds later, the whole fire engulfed me and my vision blacked for the second time.

[Outside of Ezekiel's Mind]

Gently opening my eyes. The first thing I saw in front of me was Angel licking my face. I began to massage my shoulder and noticed the night sky.

''You've been out us for awhile. Everyone thought you were asleep.'' Angel told me as she probably sensed my confused stare on her.

''Anything else?'' I said and looked around the moving crab we were on. Angel began to tell me about the crabs inability to swim and that it was mostly silent here with Nami occasionally poking my head. I grew a tick mark from that and stood up dusting myself.

''So now's the perfect time to wake up?'' Nami walked over me and gave me a stare.

''I wasn't sleeping.'' I returned the stare.

''Then what were you doing? I tried to get your attention.''

''I was meditating.'' I bluntly said when another thought came to me. ''What is it that you wanted?''

''How much did you get from the casino?''

I sweatdropped from that. ''I should've known better'' Shaking my head, I tried to come up with another excuse so as to not have my hard earned money stolen from the greedy navigator. ''I think I have enough to pour all of it in a giant pool and rub it all around my naked body.'' I said and sagely nodded like my Master used to after a lecture.

*BAM*

''Be serious for once!''

I took my scroll containing the money and held it close to my chest. ''You'll have to take this from my cold, dead hands.'' She narrowed her eyes at me and with a huff she crossed her arms over her chest and walked away. Looking towards where the crab was going, I shrugged and looked at the crew. ''There's a river in front of us.'' I bluntly said after few minutes of silence.

''WE KNOW!''

Stretching a bit, I took my scroll and strapped it into my lower back. ''Ya'll weird.'' I grumbled and felt Angel climbling up my body.

''Humans...''

''Could you stop with that? Geez...'' Angel pouted at me. Chuckling, I scratched her under the chin and gave a light pat. The crew were getting anxious about not crossing the Sandora river and began to plead the crab to run faster. That was when Chopper told them that Scissors like dancer girls and later we saw Nami strip her desert robe off, leaving her with the dancer outfit Sanji bought for her back in Nanohana. Instanly, the camel and Sanji began to drool all over her. The same happened to the Moving Crab as he set its eyes on Nami.

Looking down at Scissors...legs, he began to accelerate and I made a quick calculation that with that speed we were moving. ''We're not going to make it.'' My pessimistic side kicked me across the head.

''NAMI-SWAAAN~!'' Sanji swooned. Feeling that someone was looking at me, I began to search for said person.

''Say, your not worried about Luffy?'' Zoro inquired.

Blinking twice, I grinned at him. ''I thought I said it before, I ain't following a weak Captain. Relax, he'll be fine.'' Zoro sighed in relief followed by few more that listened to our short conversation.

''Yeah, your right.''

''Yosh! Ero power!'' Chopper cheered at the crab.

''And... how does this solve our problem?'' Usopp said and began to panic as the river was getting closer and closer.

*SPLASH!*

The crab hit the water and ran on top of it like hounds of hell were after him. During that time, I felt that our speed was gradually decreasing.

''It's a miracle!'' Usopp cheered. ''Just stay on the water's surface the whole way! Run! Run! Run the whole way! Go! You'll get there! You're doing it!'' In the middle of Usopps cheers, the crab finally lost its speed. I was humored that in the middle of all this, the crab still had hearts in his eyes. ''Hey hold it! Is he sinking?''

I took a deep breath and exhaled it out. ''Like a stone.''

''Are we sinking!'' Usopp asked around us as his cheers turned into a paniced one. ''We're sinking!''

As the crab was sinking and my boots were damped with water. I poured chakra into it and stood on top of waters surface. Despite all of this, I had to put more than usual on water-walking. It took me a few seconds to see the problem when Angel began to growl. I looked at the source and it was Nami, who clung to my back and gave me a grin.

''I hope you don't mind.''

I shrugged and made her ride a bit more comfortable by grabbing her under her tights. I felt her tense, but eased up and wrapped her arms around my neck. Angel reluctantly let her and took a seat near the end of my scroll.

''Oi! That's not fair!'' Usopp shouted at me and tried to catch up. ''I want a ride too!''

''Sorry, one and a half passanger at a time.''

''Can't you make those clones of yours?'' Usopp tried to reason with me.

''Nah, i'd rather not. They been a bunch of pain-in-the-ass lately.'' I grumbled and thought about Eligos and the possible mistake i've made creating him. Shaking my head, I thought about counselling this with Triton. Seeing the others swimming with Chopper sitting on Zoro's head. I began to take the lead whilst thinking how to spend my money.

''Can I ask you something?'' Nami got close to my cheek.

I looked at her from the corner of my eye and grinned. ''You just did.''

Growling, she smacked my head and glared at me. ''Idiot.''

''I'm just teasing. What it is that you wanted to ask?'' Nami was about to open her mouth when I shook my head. ''I still won't tell you how much I looted. You'll have to figure it out yourself.''

Another huff escaped her mouth as I chuckled at her. ''Fine. I wanted to ask you what were you doing for the last 3 hours?''

''Meditating.'' I bluntly replied and gave her a side clance. ''Intrested?''

''Does it help?''

''Yeah, a lot actually. The doctors said that even though my brain sometimes refuses to sleep, my body still needs its sleep. Most of the time they just forced pills down my windpipe and it wasn't much longer till I grew accustomed to it. Later though my Master saw my problem and taught me to seperate my mind from my body by introducing me to this thing called...'' I suddenly froze as something clicked on the back of my head. Like a certain stored memory that I have banished starts to surface.

''Introduced you to what?'' Nami asked and shook me a little from my lack of responce. I could only curse Master in my head, but eventually decided to just grumble under my breath.

''That senile old dick. I bet he knew it all along.'' I could've sworn that I heard the man laughing and pointing his finger at me from the otherside. ''Forget that I ever talked, Nami-chan.'' I jumped a bit to hoist her up a bit. The girl was way too light-weighted. ''Wait? Nami-chan? Since when did I used that?''

''Whatever.'' I could feel that she wasn't happy by my answer, but I was that she actually let it be. It wasn't that I didn't want to talk about it, but more like I was pretty much confused as hell by now. I need serious meditation AND medication after this. There was few questions flying around that I mildly listened to. Like that there aren't many ships going through here and that there's about 50 kilometers between us and the shore.

''WE CAN'T SWIM THAT FAR!'' Usopp shrieked. The rest was with Chopper waving at Scissors. I just nodded at the creature and walked forward when there was something emerging from the waters. I stopped and began to stare at it until a giant catfish returned my stare.

''A Rare Sandora Catfish! They call it that because it's so rare to see one!'' Vivi lectured us as I took my tanto to slice the fish in pieces.

''It's not going to be rare once i'm done with it.'' I was disappointed when the fish just went down and lost its consiousness by Luffys pupils. With a sigh, I sheated my tanto back and jumped on top of the beated catfish. Setting Nami down, I went to grab Vivi and Chopper as the rest of the guys can swim there for themselves.

[Maybe an Hour Later?]

''Thank you!'' Vivi waved at the Dugongs that saved us. The trip towards the shore continued Sanji and Usopp pestering me that I didn't help them and Angel licking my cheek the moment she took her spot. I was still trying to get used to that, but in the end, let her do what she wanted.

''Alright guys, listen up.'' I began and got their attention. ''Even though were making good time now, there's still the problem with transportation. I suggest we-'' I tried to come up with a good plan when a weird sound came from my pouch. Pocketing it out, staring at me was the Baby Den Den Mushi I took from the casino vault and it was making that weird 'Bla Bla'-noise. I was surprised that someone was calling to this thing and kept thinking that should I answer it.

''Are you going to answer that?'' Sanji looked at it over my shoulder.

''I guess I should.'' I turned around and decided to talk to this person in private. ''This might be important..'' I said with my back turned to me and gave Chopper a look. ''And no eavesdropping.'' After the reindeer nodded, I jumped on a rock and got a good distance from the crew. Tapping the snail on its shell, its facial expression changed into a emotionless stare with one line under its 'nose'.

''The preparation are set, Sir. I'm currently here in Alubarna waiting for my targets arrival as per my superiors instructions.'' The robotic voice said. ''What is his current status?'' I scratched my head at the things weird behaviour and was thinking that should I answer it. ''Sir?'' It continued and I could hear a slight frustation coming from the other end of the line.

''Looks nothing to me, can I eat it?'' Angel asked me and I had to shut her up lest the unknown person hears us. After few more seconds, the person sighed and the snails expression changed into one of amusement. The only emotion that it displayed in our short time.

''Whoever's on the other line. Tell Mr. Zero to lure my target to the Central City Square in Alubarna.'' It said and probably waited for my response. Thinking quickly, I coughed into my palm and tried to sound more professional.

''Hai! I shall inform this to him right away.'' I though my voice sounded more like a Sanjis, but it was enough to fool the mystery person. ''If you don't mind me asking, whose your targer?'' I inquired and tried to sound indifferent about his job. A chuckle later, the snails eyes closed as me and Angel waited for him to say something.

''Ezekiel Vane.''

That said, the person hung up and the Baby Den Den Mushi went to sleep. I started to sweat that it was now confirmed that someone IS after my head. Looking between Angel and the snail, I shook my head and stored it back in my pouch. Grumbling, Angel looked away from me as I denied her small snack and stared at the rising sand dust coming towards us. Paying no heed to it, I tried to come up with a decision.

''Should I meet with this person? He could be a danger for all I know.'' I though to myself and grabbed my head from the upcoming headache. ''Perhaps I should see it and confirm. I could get some information about my status here in One Piece world.''

Walking forward, I head Usopp stuttering about enemy aproaching us. Stretching a bit, the sand dust that was coming towards us was actually Carue and his posse.

''Carue and the Super Spot-Billed Duck Squad!'' Vivi shouted in cheers when the duck lined up to us. ''You've come to help us!'' With a quack, the ducks saluted at us and strutted forward. I looked around and spotted a duck with a sailor outfit and grinned at it.

''Guess you'll be my ride?'' The duck looked at me and quacked. Raising my eyebrow, I jumped on its saddle. ''I think I have to get to know the duck before I understand what their saying.'' I surmised and wasn't really that much away from the truth. ''I shall call you, Donald.'' A quack confirmed me that it presumably like the new I gave him.

''Where did you get the Den Den Mushi?'' Sanji asked me as he took a ride himself and caught up to me.

''I found it back when me and Angel were robbing Rain Dinners. I thought it would come in handy and I got an info from it that the other Agents of Croco-teme are waiting for us. So be prepared that there will be a clash and I want this to go as smooth as possible.'' Looking at the other duck riding pirates, I received a nod which I returned to them. I took my ride next to Vivi and grabbed the scrolls containing our mantles. Summoning them out of it, I gave everyone a white mantle with a hoodie. There wasn't any words needed as they all changed into one and put the hood on.

I even made sure to put the items I took from Erumalu inside Donalds pouch.

[Morning, Near Alubarna]

We were riding for God knows how long until Alubarna was on our sight. Narrowing my eyes and avtivating the sharingans, I could see 6 person standing there at the western gate.

The other 5 Agents I already knew by watching this said anime, but the sixth one was the strangest amongs them. I wasn't sure if it was a he or a she, but I was leaning towards a he by the the hight and broad shoulders. He was easily as tall as Daz Bones, maybe few inches off, but as intimidating as the man next to him. He had a black leather jump-suit with steel paddings on his shoulders and knees. What I found was odd was the huge canister on his back and the grey goggles on his head.

All in all, he looked pretty much like your local exterminator. Shrugging my shoulder, I heard Zoro shout and we maneuvered way from the baseball that seconds later detonated itself into a fiery explosion.

The plan was simple: Get Vivi to southern gate entrance by any means necessary. Other than that, it was more like a divine and conquer between us to lure the Agents away from Vivi so she could stop the war. My assingment though was slightly different as I had a date with whoever was after me. That kinda sounds funny if you think about it. Like i'm some evil person or a dangerous fugitive whose existence has to be either neutralized and/or terminated.

But aside from the weirdness that was today. I had a sinking feeling, that I wasn't that far away from the truth.

[To Be Continued]

Yeah, its been now 7 days (or a week for some people) since I last updated. My longest delay so far, but the good news would be that I already started making the One Piece movies (the beginning parts, yes and no, I won't tell you what movie). I've even experienced this something called 'Writers block' and after a long gruesome fight, I won it.

There has been a lot of thinking on my part about Ezekiel's opponent, but in the end, I got one. I'll also try to give him, (her?) a personality, but I assure that he/she will be strong. Maybe stronger than Blade, maybe... maybe.

If i've made any mistakes here, i'd like to be PM'd or reviewed about them as to improve the story more. That's my opinion though, feel free to do that or not, but either way... i'm watching you.
