Heather was still wondering the forest and had encountered some more ruins, much like the others she had witnessed these ones were completely overgrown as well. However, unlike the previous ones, there seemed to be some sort of memorial with writing on it, and she began to translate it.

"Memorial for the city itself," she said. "Its descendants built it after the great city fell, Vanaheim. That was the name of this ancient place. 402 SE, the city was at its peak 1100 years ago, but then it toppled around 800 years ago. That timeframe almost lined up perfectly with the 100 years of history then vanished from the rest of the world; perhaps this island holds the key. The key to a long-forgotten history that was veiled from the world below. This is a complete map of Vanaheim; perhaps learn more about this blank century if I keep going to the centre of the city."

She then herded twigs snapping behind and quickly spun around. "Who's there?"

Standing before her was Yama.

"Well, aren't you a beautiful young lady," he said.

"Are you another one of Enel's henchman?" Heather asked.

"'Henchman?'" said Yama looking insulted. "You had better watch your mouth; I am Yama… Divine Commander in the service of All-Father Enel himself."

"And what exactly do you want with me, Divine Commander Yama?"

"I don't want to talk," he said simply and then roared into the sky.

Chopper meanwhile was face-to-face with Gable and found himself completely speechless.

"Where did you go?" Gable demanded. 'A concealment technique, no doubt.'

Chopper then noticed that he was unable to see him. 'His eyes rolled up in the back of his head? Why would he do that?'

"Gable, you can't see your enemy with your eyes rolled back like that," said the divine warrior.

Gable's eyes immediately returned back to normal. "So, careless!"

'This guy makes the twins seem smart,' Chopper stared. He then took a deep breath and looked up at Gable. "Any enemy, huh? You must be one of Enel's Gothars!"

Gable just looked down at him and failed across his arms. 'Indeed I am, let me introduce myself…' Chopper just stared at him blankly. '…my name is Gable, Gothar in the service of Almighty Enel…' Chopper just continued looking at him blankly. '…and I command the Upper Yard's Ordeal of the Swamp.'

"Come on, say something, creepy!" Chopper yelled.

The divine warrior shook his head. "Gable, he can't hear you unless you start speaking out loud!"

Gable's eyes widened. "So, careless!"

"You don't normally forget that!" Chopper stared in bewilderment.

Gable took up a fighting stance. "I'd advise you to watch where you step; you see this entire area is my territory to control. All around us are swamp clouds and want to find yourself trapped by one; there is no hope of escape. The survival rate here is 50% it's almost tragic. Ordeal of the Swamp!"

"The swamp?" Chopper frowned.

"Best of luck," said Gable and then he started to sink through the clouds.

"Uh, you're sinking," Chopper pointed out.

"Fool, it has no effect on me," said Gable. "Swamp Cloud! Milky Dial!"

Suddenly he shot out of the swamp cloud and flew into the sky; it was then that Chopper realised that he had some dials attached to his shoes.

"No way!" Chopper stared. "He's shooting something out of his feet that makes him fly. That's so cool!"

Gable was now level with the treetops, and now a cloud was exiting from the palms of his gloves.

"Something is coming out of his hands?" Chopper blinked.

"One stinking reindeer is hardly worth my precious time," he said as the clouds began to form into a bubble. "Take this! Swamp Cloud Burger! Deadly swamp with the weight of a cloud, once touched nothing can survive!"

He then tossed the bubble right down towards the ground, and Chopper was confident it was going to hit him. However, instead of hitting him, it was heading straight down towards the divine warrior, much to his horror.

"No! Gable, don't aim at me!" he yelled desperately. "Please stop!"

The cloud and struck him on top of his head. Sadly for him, it wasn't just air inside the cloud; it also contained a large amount of water, meaning he was unable to breathe. Chopper watch as the divine warrior tried to free himself, but the cloud was proving to be to fit for him.

'He can't escape,' said Chopper horrified as the divine warrior seemed incapable of lifting it off his head. 'I see, it's a cloud if you try to lift it your hands will pass right through it.'

The divine warrior then fell to his knees, and he noticed that the cloud was now covering his torso. "The more you struggle, the deeper you're dragged inside of it."

The divine warrior then collapsed, and now only his legs were visible before they went completely limp.

'I have to help him,' said Chopper.

"There you are reindeer!" Gable yelled and Chopper notice that he was holding another one of those strange clouds. "Swamp Cloud Burger!"

Chopper then immediately run before the cloud could hit him. "If one of those things hit me, I'll be dead for sure." He then dashed towards the divine warriors quickly as he could and then grabbed his legs. "If you're still alive, hang on!"

He then began to pull, which was surprisingly easy. There again it did make a certain amount of sense, the cloud itself was weightless and why it was impossible to pull yourself out it was clearly possible for someone to pull you out.

"Hey!" Chopper yelled and quickly transformed into his human form, flipped him over and then slammed his hands onto his chest. "You've got to breathe!" The moment his fist slammed into his chest, the divine warrior spat out a large amount of water, and it kept on repeating the process. "Don't die!"

Chopper then saw that he was breathing and reverted back to his hybrid form. "Good, you're alive."

"Thank you," said the divine warrior. "You save my life."

Gable then landed on the ruins and looked most displeased. "Being saved by the enemy, pathetic."

"Uh-oh," said Chopper.

"And you call yourself one of the divine warriors, you are not worthy of such a title," said Gable failing once again to fold his arms.

"How dare you, Gable!" The divine warrior yelled. "You're going to pay; I'll never serve you again."

Gable didn't look particularly worried.

"You'll see as my axe dial drains the life out of you!" the divine warrior continued.

"Yes, we'll team up, and together we'll defeat him," said Chopper confidently. "Bring it on; we're not scared of you!"

"Very well, this one is called my Jet Punch," said Gable as he raised his fist.

Suddenly he shot forwards and punched the divine warrior in a split second. The blow was so powerful that he was sent flying into the ruins and ended up being buried in the rubble.

"The lethal jet dial, punches accelerated with it allows you to destroy an enemy before they even realised the fight has begun," Gable explained. Chopper noted there was a hole on the elbow of his suit, and resting on it was a smoking dial. "It's only real defect is that it also destroys my clothes."

Chopper just stared openmouthed. 'This is a Gothar? If I don't get out of here right now, I'll end up like that guy.'

Chopper heard several footsteps behind and then quickly ran off screaming. 'I've got to keep my feet off the clouds; the swamp traps are everywhere. If I run on top of the ruins, only I can make it to the forest and open ground.'

However somehow Gable managed to get in front of him and blocked his path. "Just where do you think you're running off to, reindeer? Here's another Jet Punch!"

Chopper then quickly bit down on one of his Rumble Balls. 'Rumble! Jumping Point!'

He quickly transformed his jumping form and jumped high into the air just as Gable swung his high-speed fist. Gable looked up at him and immediately launched himself into the air to follow him, thanks to the dials attached to his shoes.

'Rumble Balls last of three minutes, if I don't escape within that time I will be killed,' he said.

"So you have Zoan type powers," said a voice below him when he spun around he saw that Gable was right in front of him. "Too bad, how about another one?"

"Oh yeah, Weight Point!" Chopper yelled and immediately transformed into his human form to dodge the punch.

Gable was now starting to get annoyed and placed his palms together. "Swamp Cloud Burger!"

He then tossed his swan crowd down on top of Chopper.

"That again? Guard Point!" said Chopper and transformed into his guard form.

Gable's attack did hit him, but it merely bounced off his fur much to his annoyance.

"Why that insolent little—" he snarled and then flew down towards him.

"Brain Point!" Chopper yelled and looked up at him closely. "A weak point, he must have some weak point! Anything will do, I need to find a weakness and escape!"

Sadly, if there was a weak spot, he was unable to find within time as Gable was now on top of him.

"Jet Punch!" Gable yelled, swinging his high-speed punch.

Chopper was unable to avoid it this time until the punch slammed right into him and he was sent flying cannonball into the ruins. Fortunately, Chopper was able to transform into his guard form to absorb most of the impact just in time, but not all of it.

'Even with my guard up, it's useless,' he said, fighting to stay conscious.

Elsewhere Heather was avoiding Yama's blows, but that could not be said for the ruined buildings as he punched straight through them one by one in his attempts to hit her, which annoyed her extremely.

"You big oaf!" Heather snapped angrily. "Can't you see you're destroying valuable artefacts?"

Yama merely laughed. "You should probably concern yourself with preserving your own life, instead of this crumbling heap of rubble." He then shot forwards, demolishing yet more of the ruins. "Axe Mountain!"

He then began swinging his fist at Heather, who quickly sidestepped out of the way to avoid them, but then she backed up towards the monument.

"Oh no," she said.

Yama used this to his advantage and struck with so much force that she went straight through the monument.

"Stop this, you fool," she said, looking up at him.

Hiccup was still exploring the cave that he was in; it was completely filled with demolished ruins and other different kinds of vegetation.

"This cave looks like it goes on forever," said Hiccup. "No matter how far I walk, I just can't find the way out. Maybe you can find a way out in my dragon form."

Hiccup then transformed into his dragon form and then let out a roar. A Night Fury Dragon had a similar ability to that of bats, able to use sound waves to map out their surroundings. His roar would bounce off the walls and then come back to him, giving him a very accurate map of everything around him.

Unfortunately, much to his surprise when it bounced back, there was no exit to the cave.

"That's strange; there's no way out," he frowned. "I suppose it's possible that the entrance caved in. Finding a way out of this might take some time, I hope the others are very better than I am."

Chopper was completely worn out and was fighting to stay conscious. In his condition, escape was becoming least likely by the second and to make matters worse Gable didn't look tired in the slightest.

Chopper looked at Gable as he stood on some ruins above him. "His feet… that's the weak spot."

He was currently in his jumping form and was now struggling to get back onto his feet. "Walk Point!"

He then transformed into his animal form as it was easier to support himself in that form. 'Can I escape? I can't even see straight.'

"Still think you can win?" said Gable as Chopper hobbled his way towards him.

'My legs are shaky at best, and the Rumble Ball is about aware off,' he said to himself.

He managed to walk a few extra steps before he collapsed, but that didn't stop him as he transformed it his human form and began climbing the ruins towards Gable. Gable just watched him struggling as he got closer and closer to him.

'All right, it's time to stop running,' he said and grabbed Gable's left foot. 'You can beat him.'

Gable then attempted to free himself. "What do you think you're doing?" Chopper grabbed his foot with his other hand and then Gable kicked him, forcing him to let go. "Swamp Cloud Burger!"

Chopper then transformed into his jumping form. 'I'm always the first to run away, so everyone thinks they have to protect me. That's why they can't rely on me; I'm going to raise a pirate flag right here!'

Gable tossed his Swamp Cloud at him, and Chopper jumped into the air the exact same time avoiding it.

"Don't you know when you've lost," Gable growled. "Even the air is my territorial to control; you can't escape."

Chopper just looked down at him. 'Come on…'

Gable then launched himself into the air, but unlike last time he suddenly found himself unable to control his trajectory. He was spinning around uncontrollably, and he soon discovered the problem, his left shoe was missing meaning he only had one dial to control his movements.

"Oh, no! He took it off!" Gable cried. "That reindeer took my shoe, so careless!"

Now that he knew the problem, even though his movements were shaky at best, he was still able to fly up towards Chopper.

"I'm still coming reindeer!" Gable roared.

"I'm a monster!" Chopper screamed as he transformed it his human form. "I'm strong!"

"The weakest beast roars the loudest," Gable sneered as he clenched his fist. "One last Jet Punch!"

Chopper at the last moment and tilted his head slightly so that the Jet Punch only grazed him.

'I let myself get carried away and nearly lost control of my mantra,' Gable cursed.

'He only grazed me,' Chopper winced. 'That was close. Arm Point!'

He then suddenly transformed into his arm form and then placed his hooves together. "I'm alive, might turn."

Gable realised too late what Chopper was about to do and there was no way he was able to dodge in midair.

"Cloven Cross!" Chopper yelled, slamming his hooves into Gable's chest using the last of his strength.

His three minutes were now up, and he reverted back to his hybrid form. He screamed as he started to fall back down towards the ground, but he was able to land perfectly on the ruins.

"Finally, I'm one of the pirates too!" he screamed.

Gable then hit the ground, and ironically enough he actually landed on one of his swamp clouds headfirst.

Chopper turned and watched as he began to sink into the cloud. "It looks like he fell right into a swamp cloud, good. Now if he would just stay there… you hear me! Don't come up; just keep on sinking you jerk."

Chopper then noticed that his toes were wiggling, telling him that he was still conscious.

"Ahhh, he's moving!" Chopper panicked. "He's still alive."

However, unlike last time when he managed to escape from the swamp cloud, his legs were sticking out. This meant he couldn't use the Milky Dial in order to free himself, so he had no choice but to keep on sinking.

'I can't believe that I lost to reindeer, of all the things I could never live down,' he groaned. 'And how did I get stuck in my own swamp cloud, this isn't supposed to happen to me!'

"Please oh please just stay down!" Chopper begged. "Just keep on sinking!"

'I can escape with the Milky Dial,' he said, clearly forgetting that his feet were on the surface.

The moment he activated the Milky Dial on the sole of his shoe, he shot right into the cloud.

"Wow, he really sank," Chopper blinked.

"So, careless!" Gable's voice yelled from within the swamp cloud, clearly realising his mistake.

"Did I—" Chopper stared. "I did it! I really beat him!"

Out on the White Sea, Aisa was riding a waver towards the Upper Yard when she suddenly sensed the fall of Gable.

"Another one of the Gothars' voices have disappeared," she said astonished. "Something terrible must have happened; this is bad. I have to get to the others!"

Then suddenly her waver came to a sudden stop, and she found herself now stranded in the middle of the White Sea.

"Oh no, of course, you just had to break down a time like this, didn't you," she moaned and began shaking the rudder followed by slamming the engine. "No! Work! I barely know how to ride this thing; how can I fix it? There's no way."

She then saw a shadow beneath the water and then suddenly erupting directly behind her was a sky shark. She screamed as it opened its giant draws which were large enough to swallow her whole.

She quickly jumped out of the way and avoided the mouth, but the same could not be said for the engine and half of the waver.

"Help! Help me, please! Help!" Aisa screamed and watched helplessly as the sky shark came for another round. "Don't eat me! I don't want to die!"

Not too far way Arial and Polo, were riding a waver, which was making a large booming noise, towards Upper Yard. They had seen Aisa's predicament and were now sailing towards at high speed.

"Please hurry, father," Arial pleaded.

"I'm trying, but I don't think will make it at this speed," said Polo. "I'm about to hit it so hang on!"

"Right!" Arial nodded.

He then pushed down the Excel later giving them an extra burst of speed just as the sky shark shot out of the water.

"Now, Arial!" Polo yelled.

"Right!" Arial nodded and reached out her hand towards Aisa. "Grab on, reach out and grab my hand!"

Aisa quickly grabbed hold of her hand, and Arial pulled on board just as the sky shark eight what was left of the waver.

"That was a risky move," said Polo breathing a sigh of relief.

"Don't worry, you're safe now," said Arial gently as Aisa cried in her lap. "You're a vanir child, aren't you?"

Aisa then suddenly remember that the two of them were aseir and regained her composure. She then pointed the gearstick, which was the only thing left at the waver, at Arial.

"You don't have to be afraid, little girl, we're friendly," Arial assured her.

"I'm not afraid!" Aisa yelled defiantly. "I'm one of the brave warriors of Vanaheim; I'm not afraid of you aseir!"

Sue then began to stroke her leg, startling her.

Arial smiled. "Her name is Sue, and she seems to like you quite a bit."

Aisa appeared to relax as Sue stroked her leg with her warm fur and then picked her up.

"You can call me Arial."

"I'm Polo, Arial's father," Polo added. "Please do meet you, little girl, we're very glad that you're all right."

"So can you tell us your name?" Arial asked.

"Everyone calls me Aisa," said Aisa. "Look I know you just saved me, and I hate to ask any more favours, but I need to go to the Upper Yard, and I was wondering if you could take me." Two of them just looked back at her. "Because right now there all kinds of people's voices are disappearing more and more. It's the truth, I can hear their voices even far away, and they're gone."

"Actually, we're already on our way to Upper Yard so you can write with us," Arial explained.

Aisa looked up. "Yeah?"

"We're trying to find the pirates from the Blue Sea world because we thought that we should guide them safely out of Skypiea and get them to where they need to go."

"You mean all those people on the ship?"

Arial looked at her, surprised. "Yes."

"They're probably still trying to escape from the Upper Yard."

Arial quickly turned and placed a hand on her shoulders. "Do you know where their ship could be? It's very important."

Aisa nodded.

Arial then quickly looked at her father. "Father!"

"I understand, all we need of you is to lead us there little one," said Polo.

"Sure," Aisa nodded.

With that, they picked up speed and headed towards Upper Yard as quickly as possible.

Chopper was still at the ruins drinking from his canteen, he was exhausted after his battle with Gable, and he was quite pleased with himself.

'I'm finally a pirate,' he said. 'Instead of waiting for the others, I'll just look for the gold. That would sure shock everybody.'

He then stopped drinking and turned towards a large beanstalk that reached up towards the clouds. "That place over there seems like a good spot for gold to hide. Who knows, maybe the others will end up there too."
