Hello everyone and welcome back to THOR!

*Sneezes loudly, while Relic carries a box of tissues next to him*

Yeah, so I kind of have a cold right now, it's seriously not fun at all.

But anyway, not much to say today, although pretty soon I should be getting RWBY volumes 1 and 2, as I asked a store I go to order them for me.

I have volume 3, so I thought I should get the others as well.

Anyway.

Let's get this show on the road! *sneezes again before he blows his nose*


Gyro and Ruby swam towards a large gate while in their Zora forms.

This was it, the entrance to the pirate's base.

Although their was no way of getting in, so they had to look around, till they found a barricaded hole in the stone underwater, which they broke open and passed though, ending up inside the base.

And they received one hell of a shock when they saw who the pirates looked like.

They were Noras, all of them.

Gyro didn't know if he should be laughing, or terrified.

He also didn't know if he should be mad, because, well, the pirates had the face of one of his friends, one whom he got along well with since they had a thing for explosions.

Like that one time the two worked together to make a custard bomb and put it in team CRDL's room.

Hilarious, and delicious.

Plus team CRDL had to clean it up themselves, as Glynda had long stopped bothering fixing up their dorm room with her semblance, something she still did for other teams when an accident happens, like that one time team JNPPR's door was broken by Nora, and it really was an accident, she didn't even use her hammer that time.

Or the one time the pipes in team RWGBY's shower got clogged up (Gyro would have done it himself but he couldn't figure out what the problem was).

Seriously, miss Goodwitch was scary, but she was a godsend sometimes.

Plus the fact he was positive her and Ozpin had a relationship made things entertaining for him.

But back to the Nora Pirates (he idly realised if the actual Nora were a pirate she would call her crew either that or the Pancake Pirates), because of who's faces they had, he just couldn't muster up enough hate.

Although he did have a plan to break in.

Both Gyro and Ruby shifted back to their real forms as Gyro equipped his Pegasus boots and pulled out the Stone Mask, before he had Ruby hop onto his back and put the mask on his face, having a theory that if somebody was in contact with the wearer of the mask, they too would be invisible.

Now for the second part of his plan.

He took in a large breath and started making the one sound he knew would get the attention of all the Noras.

A sloth's call.

"AAAAAaaaaaaaAAAAAAaaaaaahhhhhh!" he drawled it out and attempted to make it sound as lazy as possible, almost like a screaming yawn on a high pitch you could say.

He had been practicing because he knew Nora still didn't know what a sloth actually sounded like (you'd think she'd just look it up on the net) and he wanted to essentially make it part of his christmas present for her, along with a manual on how to make lots of different types of grenades.

After all, imagine an electrically charged shrapnel grenade, would that equal some kind of magnetic explosion?

The only way to know was to let Nora do her thing.

Anyway.

A few moments later, he started hearing a lot of footsteps coming from within the base, which was followed by a LOT of Noras all coming out and exclaiming "SLOTH!".

It seemed they were able to recognize a sloth call on instinct.

Anyway, using the pegasus boots, he ran on the wall towards the base, as running on the water could have attracted some attention.

They probably had a good... 2 hours to search the base.

Seriously, when it came to sloths, Nora was as dedicated as things related to Pancakes, and Ren.

The only thing that could top that would be something that combined all 3 somehow.

He did take the time to take a picture of them though, not just to show everyone back home, but also because he remembered somebody who lived in the area wanted a picture of the pirates for... reasons.

Anyway, they managed to sneak into the base, and saw that most of the Noras were outside looking for the non-existant sloth, but a few had to remain inside to guard the base, and Gyro and Ruby could hear them whining about not getting to see the sloth.

Either way, they quickly made their way inside, where they cought the tail end of a conversation between the leader of the pirates and one of her subordinates about how they actually lost some of the eggs.

Before long the room was empty, the leader mumbling something about trying to woo the marine biologist as she left the room, which Gyro wasn't really surprised considering who they were.

Besides that though, they obtained some more interesting information.

Four eggs were currently within the base, while the other three were in Pinnacle Rock, possibly surrounded by giant sea snakes.

And that the reason that the pirates had even stolen the eggs was due to the possessed skull kid telling them to do so, and that it could help them get so much treasure they could laze about for the rest of their lives.

Two guards remained in the room, and Gyro idly noticed a beehive hanging above in the rafters.

Didn't take a genius really.

He shot down the beehive with an arrow, the bees locking onto the nearest targets, being the two guards and chased them out of the room.

Jumping down from a hole in the wall once the cost was clear, the two of them walked to a large chest in the middle of the room, Gyro letting Ruby open it as she pulled out a golden hookshot from within, the actual hook itself actually looking a bit like a scorpion's stinger.

While she tried to understand how her hooshot worked, Gyro went into the large fishtank in the room and retrieved one of the eggs, gently placing it within a bottle, although he looked up when he heard a 'THUNK' above him, seeing Ruby hanging from her hookshot on a wooden plank that was just above the tank, although he quickly looked away because, well, upskirt view.

After that little incident, Ruby forgiving Gyro since it was mostly her fault, the two made their way through the base, encountering a few elite pirates who weren't fooled by the stone mask, and thus they had to fight them, although the battles weren't too difficult, and they were able to gather the other 3 eggs that were in the base, and RUby couldn't help but look at them in awe, as these were literally newborns, well, in a way, they just had yet to hatch.

With the four eggs recovered, they made their way back to the Marine biologist's lab, passing under one of the pirate's small boats, the leader sitting on it and seemed to have a contemplative look on her face.

Anyway, back in the lab, they saw the biologist, sitting down on a chair, rbbing the bridge of his nose, muttering something along the lines of 'When will she learn?'

Either way, they deposited the recovered eggs in the tank before heading back outside, they still had 3 more to find after all.

Gyro had a vague memory about finding what they'll need in one of the houses on the beach, so heading inside the one labeled Fisherman's hut, they found the Terminean Scarlet in there, who offered them the rare fish he had found (it was a seahorse, the guy didn't even know it's name, he just labelled the word fish onto it because he found it in the water, and Gyro mentally questionned if Scarlet really was this stupid) in exchange for a picture of the pirates.

Either way, the gave him a picture of the pirates and scooped up the seahorse in a large bottle before heading back out.

They made their way towards Pinnacle Rock, where upon reaching, they released the seahorse from within the bottle, and he offered to guide them through the murky waters of the area.

Once past the waters and at the entrance of the deep rocky underwater hole, the seahorse asked Gyro and Ruby to help free his friend that was trapped by the sea snakes in the area, something to which the two easily agreed.

The two of them used their semblances, combined with the ability to basically turn themselves into magic torpedoes if they used magic while swimming, and turned into what could only be described as deadly torpedoes, Gyro looking like a drill made of ice, and Ruby having the sand spin around her at high speeds like blades.

Thanks to these abilities, the sea snakes were killed and they were able to collect the last three eggs, while also freeing the other seahorse which was held captive, and it turned out to be the first one's mate.

Anyway, with those two reunited, Gyro and Ruby swam back all the way to the marine biologist's lab, where they were able to put the last three eggs into the tank.

They'd done it, they had saved all 7 of Lulu's eggs.

What surprised all of them however was that the eggs started to hatch once they were reunited.

Out of the eggs came 7 Zora tadpoles, and they had to admit, they looked rather cute.

Then the tadpoles did somethnig unexpected and placed themselves in front of bumps on the wall in the water and positioned their tails in a way that made them look like music notes.

And Gyro realised, along with the biologist, that the tadpoles were acting like a music sheet, so Gyro and Ruby each brought their instruments in their new forms, a fishbone guitar for Gyro, and a bronze harp for Ruby, and started to play the new song, the New Wave Bossa Nova.

The biologist then theorized that the tadpoles were born to teach this song somehow, and that Gyro and Ruby had to go play it to the one who laid the eggs.

With that decided, the two made their way towards the Zora hall, where they're hoping to find Lulu.


And we're done!

*Relic gives me a bowl of chicken noodle soup*
