Alright people I'm back and here for both another chapter for the Gem Hunters. Might as well be a thing since this entire section of this story focus on them trying to collect all the gems.
Now to the votes for Traveler's Journey, we have some modern movies will be going in when voted and they are from Dreamworks. I am familiar and seen at least most of the movies, they have good movies to enjoy the list we got here. There is one classic that is from both Disney and Tim Burton's older movie work. They can be your top three chapters for the story. We have a good list here so far and how many are voted is listed as followed:
2 Votes:
- Madagascar
- How to Train your Dragon
1 Vote:
- James and the Giant Peach
- Road to El Dorado
- Megamind
- Secret Life of Pets
- Rango
- Book of Life
A reminder for Traveler's Journey is these votes will be selecting top three of your favorite movies. If they aren't selected this time around, they can be selected next time. There are 100s to select and we will be going until both end of winter along with 50-100 votes. I plan to repeat this process again once I work back on Traveler's Journey and wait on the votes again. This gives every movie from your childhood a chance to not only see in crossover, but also relive your childhood days. Some movies admittedly I had hard time and apologize for that, but when I know what to do, I give my all.
For Galaxy Pirates, I have a pretty good idea what worlds I wanted to write down until at least future stories. So, what happens after Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon will hopefully be exciting for everyone to read. Also, to keep in mind despite being two worlds, the adventure for both is combined as one world adventure. So technically this is the second world visit. That also means two more worlds of video games to explore before Traverse Town where the group meets Ichigo and the people with him. So, the villain's chapter are like how One Piece expands the world outside of the Straw Hats.
Disclaimer: I don't own One Piece, Kingdom Hearts, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro the Dragon, or anything except for OC's.
Chapter 29: Spiral Madness - Gem Hunters IV
Directionless Sword III
Meeting the Locals - Zoro and Rikka
Thank you for ssssssssaving me fellow warrior and fairy. I am in great debt to both of you, my name is Kaza Ko, and I hope to ask a favor in helping me once more. " Said the mysterious Lizardman calling himself Kaza Ko. In truth this is Komodo Joe who is pretending to be some innocent bystander. When both brothers devised this scheme, Joe was more so hoping that the new heroes had no idea who they truly are and wanted to lure them away into many traps prepared by them ahead of time. Moe is most likely finishing his task as Joe would lead them on towards other place as they have already found the clear gems. The only gem they haven't found is the Color Gem for this island. With that said, they need to lure the Swordsman and the little Fairy away where they could destroy them.
"No problem, we're just glad you're okay. My name is Rikka, and this big guy is Zoro. He's my sidekick, but I let him tag along, right Zoro." She teased turning to face Zoro. But when she did see Zoro expression, he had his glare harden more than before. Rikka felt something was wrong as no doubt Zoro is looking into the man's eye like he was seeing what he's truly inside his soul.
"Zoro." Rikka flew in front of his face shaking him off of whatever he saw.
"Something up?" Rikka asked concern about his unusual silence.
"Nah, nothing." Zoro answered but kept his stare at Kaza Ko who is becoming nervous by his stare yet held his poker face still even if showing some fear and sweat from his gaze.
This swordsman... it's almost like he knows my true intentions and is seeking in my soul for hidden secrets. I must have him destroyed before reaching Moe, if only to rid myself of this feeling for death's grasp by this man.
"Ah... I ssssssssuppose I sssssssssshould get going considering your friend ssssssssssseems untrusting of me." Kaza Ko said, trying to leave even if this was faking it.
"No, no, no, you done nothing wrong. It's just this swordsman can be very angry at times since he's having certain problems at the moment." Rikka tried to keep Kaza Ko around as she pulled on Zoro's cheek irritating him. Rikka picked up that Zoro's facial expression was the cause of fear for Kaza Ko, and most likely is the reason why he probably has some bad attitude for reasons. Taking some ideas from Nami, she made Zoro funnier, so he wasn't intimidating.
"Hey what do you-" But is interrupted by Rikka floating in front of his face and continued, "Anyway, you said you need help? What can we do for you?" Rikka asked, trying to be polite while making sure Zoro doesn't do anything. While inwardly Joe sweat drop at this dynamic, but still tried to maintain a poker face since he needs to convince them he's one of the locals while leading them into a trap.
"W-Well if it isn't a bother, I would like you to help me find my brother. He's a lizardman like me, we have been ssssssssseparated when those dark creatures appeared. I couldn't go ssssssssssearching for him by myself, yet I still encountered one of those monsters as it could have taken me. But then you ssssssssssshowed up and help sssssssssssave my life. If it wasn't for the fairy's assistance and the SSSSSSSSSSSSwordsman sssssssssssstrength, I would never have made it out alive. But my brother... I have no idea if he's around or not." Kaza Ko started to get teary as he almost cried worried for his brother.
"H-He's not as sssssssssmart as I am. I'd hope against all hope he's ssssssssafe sssssssssomewhere around this island. Please, can you two help me find my brother; I will do anything you asked." Kaza Ko almost begged for the two. But Zoro spoke up, "Alright we get it, we'll help your brother. Just don't beg okay, if you're his brother you should be tall and be ready to assist. Besides, I know what's it like to look over someone dumb." Zoro said with experience. Rikka read the in-between lines as he no doubt has this trouble with his captain. She could only imagine what hardship and tolerance he had to endure with his captain, and now her imagination has taken hold causing her to sweat bullets in her mind.
"Thanks, you SSSSSSSwordsman and fairy. It will do me great joy when we find my brother sssssssssoon. His name is Moda Ko, both of us are born from the ssssssssssame hatchling. If you don't mind, I like to try few places to sssssssssearch for him. I personally instruct him in case we were sssssssseparated in these times. Please follow me." Kaza Ko then lead the two, saying nothing for both different reasons. Rikka somewhat unsure of this is happy to help others in need, Zoro However had different thoughts as he senses the intentions of the stranger and if he could smell there is some sinister reason for this trip.
"Hey Rikka." Zoro said quiet enough to not speak too loudly when Kaza Ko was away enough.
"Watch for him." Is all Zoro warned, as he and Rikka followed behind their guide Kaza Ko. This brought some questions as to what he meant but kept in mind as no doubt Zoro is following his instincts.

1 Hour and 17 minutes Later - Zoro and Rikka following Kaza Ko (Komodo Joe)
In their trip Kaza has led them towards many places, but for the most part they haven't arrived as of yet. But what made Zoro tense is how the lack of heartless is surrounding them. As he is narrowed his eyes at Kaza Ko, gripping his swords as he prepared for anything that could be signs of betrayal or deceptions. Rikka saw this and wondered where he gets these ideas that everyone is there is kill him. Kind of upset and actually glad he wasn't the leaders of this band of pirates, something tells her that Zoro was someone that cut first and ask questions later. Shivered at the idea of his own pirate crew if given the chance. For Kaza Ko aka Komodo Joe felt weary and started to sweat more as Zoro stared at him. For this reason, he needs to make this quick and hope this will defeat or end the swordsman once they reach the destination. But this changed every so often when Zoro always gets lost on certain turns and twist. This made even Komodo Joe wonder to himself how this guy even survives as long as he did.
Rikka flew towards Zoro while also keeping an eye on their new friend, "Hey, what's with you? Your acting like this guy is going to kill us." Rikka bluntly said, as they still followed behind their guide.
"He's worried, nervous and ready to pounce at any notice." Rikka gave Zoro a deadpan stare when he said this about their guide.
"No, really? Cause I would be acting weird if some random swordsman that saved his life feels threaten to cut him down. I mean come on man, your kind of being a jerk here, sure the guy may look and sound shady. But it doesn't mean he's the bad guy, you of all people should know that much." Rikka lectured Zoro since he is appearing like some monster ready to attack.
"It isn't what he appears that has me guarded." This cause Rikk's right eyebrow raised as he continued, "he says that his brother is lost and needs our help in some heartless infested island, while that isn't what has me on edge. It's his shadow that is suspicious." This caused some confusion as Rikka has no idea what Zoro is implying, in truth he doesn't know what he's saying as well. But one thing is certain, while it may be his imagination or his mind playing tricks, the shadow of Kaza Ko held darken yellow eyes along with some orange glow when hiding his intentions.
Why is it I see shadows like this, and why do they appear like another person?
Are Zoro's thoughts at the matter, but as they are ready to follow behind, he notices that the guide is gone. He looks around in both annoyance and confusion, "Oh great, he got himself lost." Zoro sid.
"Huh, lost?" Rikka blink at this, then look around and realization hit her.
"HUH! WHERE HAS HE GONE OFF? Wait a minute, we're here without our friend and he's went ahead... OH NO! I HAVE THE HOPELESS DIRECTION DISEASE, ALL BECAUSE OF THIS MORON HERE!" Rikka yelled in shock and fear for this spreading to the others.
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING A MORON!" Zoro yelled back.
"You're the moron here! because your sense of direction is crap when being followed or guided. We were following our friend who asked us for help, and he probably has no idea where we are and is alone in this island by himself. All because I gain your illness for having no sense of directions!" Rikka argued back to Zoro.
"I'm not lost, everyone has a problem explaining their directions!" Zoro shouted.
"How can everyone have problem explaining their directions. Are you somehow born deaf and blind when hearing and seeing direction!" Rikka shouted back as she used her little hands to pound on his head. Both of them started to argue with one another. While Kaza Ko watching from the distance heard their argument.
"That SSSSSSSSwordsman is ssssssssome kind of muscle headed moron like Tiny. Yet is sssssssssssstrong enough to wipe out armies in hundreds if possible." He said as he places his palm on his face.
"This may take sssssssometime with these two." He said to himself, walking towards the two arguing as he pretended to be the island local.

20 minutes later - Many more if Zoro isn't dragged along
They soon reach the spot where they are to find Kaza Ko's brother, here he would lure them as Komodo Joe to some nefarious trap where the two will meet their end. But if that doesn't work, he has other ideas in mind. While taking the gems would have been enough, both Joe and Moe are out looking for blood. Plus, since their confrontation with Crash they had to develop some swordsman skills of their own. Given enough time and much training they had wanted to test their new abilities against the bandicoots. Now with this swordsman they can have that chance if given enough time.
"My brothers ssssssshould be here, but we will need to sssssssplit up to sssssssssearch for him." Kaza Ko grinned away from the two. The location they had in mind is located in the middle of the jungle with at least 18 boulders scattered around the field. These boulders are oddly located within some infinite shape ground full of brown dirt. You could see from above the marks of infinite symbol when looking high up. The field could be at least 2/3rds of a football field for comparison.
"Um, not to sound suspicious but wouldn't your brother be somewhere its safer instead of the open field." Rikka is starting to feel that what Zoro had felt is correct and feeling really dumb at the moment. After so many times of getting lost, she can honestly see how even if explained in words they have no real meaning until you experience it yourself. What really made Rikka feel suspicious is the location, while she personally along with the Gullwing haven't fought villains, this is going to be some experience in the back of her mind.
"Yes, he is here. But we will need to sssssssssearch not too far as those dark creatures could appear from nowhere to now." While he explained this to Zoro and Rikka, from far away Moda Ko as Joe calls him is his brother Moe hiding in the shadows. Now that they are located in position, Moe snapped his fingers and magical barriers are raised to keep them inside.
"Oh no!" Rikka exclaimed, then heard scream as Kaza Ko ran off in fright making Rikka worried for him.
"Hold on!" She flew off as Zoro tried to stop her only for shadow heartless appeared. Zoro had place one of his blades in his mouth while he summoned his keyblade on his left hand. More Heartless started to show up as they came in numerous numbers.
"No matter where we go there will be someone ready to kill." Zoro comment, then charged in as he slices some of the heartless without efforted. The heartless tried to tackle him in numbers as they jumped only to meet his blade as he spun around with Dragon Twister, knocking back many heartless in the process. When 5 Double O' Gear tried to fire their guns at Zoro, he deflected their bullets as he can ready their movements before it happens allowing him to predict where they will strike and where they land. One of the Triple R Twister tried to strike Zoro down but is block in time as Zoro not only flip over to avoid one strike from the Triple R' Twister, but also avoided the bullets fired at his directions. While not as fast as Sanji, when he flip, he deflected the bullets that they hit towards Triple R' Twister as its forced back. The Double O' Gear stop firing as Zoro wanted them finished with
108 Pound Ho!
This struck down the heartless as Triple R' Twister tried to attack once more. But is surprised attack by the keyblade's magic punch attack that in close range had enough to pierce a hole at the Heartless chest or stomach.
"You're like a mischievous child, aren't you?" Zoro took a quick comment as look at his keyblade saying this, but then block another attack from Mutants Banes at this point are very weak along with the Mask Intruders when fighting. Zoro quickly sliced them up as he attacked 5 Mask Intruders and 8 Mutant Banes in few swings. This says much as the heartless of this world no doubt is weak since they aren't on the same level the straw hats fought on Enies Lobby. Then again, the heartless has been stated to be easy once you get the hang of things yet should be taken serious enough as to take them down immediately. The two Totem Pillars than appeared ready to fight Zoro as they tried to combine their strength as double teaming him. Normally this would have work on average fighters, but Zoro is no average swordsman as he quickly slices the heartless purposely apart the way he needed them.
Crow Demon Hunting
In less than seconds, the Totem Pillar miniature heartless are sliced into pieces as they didn't get to fight in numbers. Zoro made quick work of these heartless one by one as the only heartless left are the Shadows, Mutant Bane and Mask Intruders. All of them are easily sliced and dice in seconds for each one brought down. Then to finish them off he used his final attack on one group of 2 Mutant bane and 5 shadows as he went off with Oni Giri! When used against the shadow Heartless his range extended to dare say two at once. But even if it was done through slicing them by sword, Zoro had mastered some hidden techniques that only the greatest of Swordsman can use without forcing themselves. This has given Zoro some extended reach as the heartless didn't stand a chance.
When the battle ended some of the boulders where he fought, and ground is cut all around. But then he heard Rikka screamed as he went towards the voice where he sees and knew Kaza Ko was up to no good. He saw both of the Komodo Brothers are together in same clothes while Kaza Ko as he called himself held Rikka in his grip tightly.
"SSSSSSSo, SSSSSSSSwordsman, you truly are ssssssstrong. Able to fight at least 500 heartless is a testament of your sssssssssstrength. One that me and my brother would love to test our sssssssskills against." Kaza Ko said grinning in anticipation
"I see, you were trying to kill us aren't you." Zoro accused as he pointed his blade at Kaza Ko.
"Indeed, I even lied about my name. For I am Komodo Joe, and this is my brother Komodo Moe. Together we are Komodo like creatures wielding ssssswords for combat." Both of them held a curved sword at the ready, pointing their own blade at Zoro as he glared at them almost demanding them to make their move.
"That... heartless. It was under your control! You... You even pretend to be some random civilian and trick us to be friends..." From what she is expressing, Rikka no doubt has never dealt with something like this before.
"I sssssee the Fairy hasn't dealt with ssssssomeone like me betraying them through deception. Your SSSSSSSwordsman friend is wise enough to have mistrust towards sssstrangers. After all, those who are prey are easily dealt, controlled and play as your thrills of hunts. Dominace through sssssssstrength is the way things sssssssshould be, as you know what that means don't you SSSSSSwordsman." Joe said towards the wielders.
Still glaring unmoving as he then spoke, "I don't care what you think, but if you don't let her go this instant, you better prepared for consequences." Zoro warned, concern for Rikka's safety instead of whatever BS these two are talking about. Both look at each other grinning as they decide to humor the Swordsman. When Rikka is released, Moe is the first to strike as he threw the first blade at Zoro who easily deflected the sword without taking his eyes off of them. Joe went in to strike as this distracted the swordsman long enough to-
GAAH!
Shouted joe who is in pain from Zoro's quick swing of his sword. To say that Joe didn't see it coming is an understatement, worse Moe was about to help yet didn't notice Zoro had his blade at his neck while Joe is bleeding on the ground.
"If you get in our way again, I won't show mercy next time." Zoro warned. He took the sword away from Moe as he already proved that whatever efforts they had in mind would have been for nothing. Choosing to save his brother, Moe ignored them in favor of trying to help his brother up. Zoro on the other hand went towards Rikka who is both shock and somewhat disturbed by how Zoro is able to quickly draw blood without hesitation.
"Hey. You, okay?" Zoro asked, Rikka is shaken out of her shock expression nodding yes. Unable to say more the two left Moe and Joe trying to lick his wounds. But when they left Joe glared at Zoro, now filled with deep hatred Joe couldn't believe how weak and easy he was defeated. It was like Zoro wasn't even trying and only ended up making his speech for this showdown look pathetic, he tightens his fist as darkness started to spread, affecting both him and Moe as he is feeling emotions from his brother along with his own mixed together from the fight.
How... how could we be so weak. How is someone like him who has so much strength and power try to protect those fools. Never and I mean NEVER, have we been beaten this easily. I haven't felt this humiliated since our defeat with Crash Bandicoot. But this... this is much worse. Zoro is far more powerful than I and my brother anticipated. If this is what it feels like on the other worlds, then we must obtain power. Power that is beyond the worlds, power that shakes the galaxy, POWER THAT MAKES UNIVERSES BOW BEFORE OUR MIGHT! Zoro, we the Komodo Brothers will make you pay for this defeat, WE SWEAR IT!
Man's dignity III
Academy of Evil - Sometime before Sanji's fight
Pinstripe Potoroo had gathered what would have been his biggest army he has ever commanded before. Granted when working for Docter Cortex, he always had an army or more so minions to command. But with this power of Darkness, he could command hundreds if not thousands of them to his call. This is something he could get used to as thanks to Pete giving them some pro-tips along with Uka Uka showing how to use this power, they can rule the worlds without problem. At the back of his mind, he may even take care of Cortex himself.
"Alright you scumbags. Let's get rid of this joint." Pinstripe commanded the Heartless. Soon all of them started to charge and take down the walls easily. Alarms went off as heartless had already started to attack the Academy of Evil. Many of the Henchmen and robots are trying to destroy the intruders, and even the students got into the action. Yet no matter what they do many are being turned into heartless as this place will no longer stand so long as these dark creatures are around.
Among the battle only Nina Cortex seems unfazed by this chaos. As she skipped along while also fighting some heartless defending herself.

Academy of Evil - Principal Office/Sanji's Captured
While Sanji is knock out, he was drag along by the henchmen and robots. All of which are defending themselves from the recent intruders. Madame Amberley watch as these dark creatures have taken over the joint and is taking them out one by one.
"That suit wearing spy, he's the cause of all this damage." She said with much hate for the Straw hats chief still unable to determine who or what he is for the moment. Suddenly she is then interrupted by one of the henchmen approaching her.
"Mistress, we have the gentleman suit guy. He is now place in your private experiment lab." He said to Madam Amberley.
"Very good, I will be there immediately. Before you leave bring all of our weapons online and defensives measures. We need to destroy these foul creatures; I will deal with our intruder personally." Madam Amberly commanded. Leaving her alone she gave type some programs for instants like this one as she soon walks off to confront this intruder to find some answers.

Academy of Evil
Sanji slowly came to his sense as he is being dragged with his feet on the ground. The two henchmen are right now about to take him to Madam Amberly's private chamber. Here is where she experiments on her free time whenever it pleased her or other reasons. Considering they are high alert they haven't been focus as they are jittering in nervous fear. Unknowing that Sanji is awaken, he used what strength he had, and kick brought himself up. He then kicked the two henchmen with enough force to bring them unconscious. As he did this the rumbling outside didn't stop as the attack at the Academy continued. When he finally stood with little strength, looking through his suit as he found potions to use to heal himself. After using what he had left, he'll want to cook something special for Aerith as this saved his life, but also examine the new location as he took a smoke to relax himself.
"Huh, this place must be for some Mad scientist." As he thought of this his imagination gets the best of him as he thinks of Madam Amberly in his perverted way. He now is thinking of what she looks like and how attractive she is when they met. But then shakes himself as another rumble happens.
"I can't think of that now, beside as much as I want to meet the lovely lady, I can't condone what she is teaching the kids." He then started to examine the place, but not before he heard some whines from one containing some weird creature. It had only two legs without arms, two antennas on the head as the skin appears light aqua and green underbelly, some scales on the neck and beak around the mouth, yellow with purple pupils for eyes. It was some creature Sanji can only guess is experimented on. From what he can tell is miserable and is no doubt experimented on. Feeling sorry for this creature Sanji walk towards it and smash the glass containing it. Without saying a word Sanji went back to looking around as the creature look in confusion, then step out feeling grateful and stared at Sanji with sense that it needs to follow him.
After at least 15 minutes of exploring the place, more rumbling is heard as Sanji examines the place. He turned back to see the creature is following Sanji.
"You lost?" Sanji asked, while not bothered by it as the innocence and cute expression actually helps make it seem nice. The creature actions also help as it appears tame or more so friendly. While still unsure of Sanji it still followed behind him.
"Have it your way. Just don't bite my leg off or I will make some recipe out of you... hopefully you don't taste bad." Sanji said, while the creature is confused Sanji continued to focus on the taste at hand. As he made his way through the rooms, he eventually found one room where a color gem in Green, Sanji smirk as he found what he's looking for this trip. The location he is currently at is some kind of enclosed room with much open space. Most likely where security should have gone off, fortunate with the events outside Sanji got in without problem as the room is fully steal square with the gem standing at the center on top of some display case and square steps.
"Oh, Nami-san would love this." Sanji said to himself, imagining himself giving this gem as gift for his love as Nami praises him and shows love for him. While he would imagine Robin in the imagination, Nami is more about the money and knows her well. However, when back to reality he sees the gem is contain in some forcefield. But by quick observation he can see the weakness.
HOLD IT!" Someone shouted, then Madam Amberly showed up, attached to cables on her back as she floated above ready to fight.
"I see that my henchmen weren't able to subdue you so well. So, I will handle this myself. I am Madam Amberly, and I will end you here and now." Sanji is shocked, not by what she said or is saying. But more so his imagination is scattered by reality as she appears nothing like her image. But beyond that he had to avoid what appears to be lightning strikes as the rumbling outside didn't stop making this more drastic. After he has his moment, he returned to reality as Amberly launch more of her lightning attacks made by the machine she created to enhance her fighting abilities. So far, she hasn't been able to hit Sanji as he appears fast.
"You certainly have a strong recovery rate. Shame you won't join our side since we are on a tight schedule." She spoke. Striking once more at Sanji and still miss, the little creature moved into cover behind the display case. when she arrived it became fearful of what she would have attempt if Sanji didn't appear to save it.
"So does that mean we can't just talk or have some tea?" Sanji asked hoping he wouldn't have to fight her as he already felt regret for nearly kicking a girl this trip.
"Hah, why would I do that with a spy infiltrating my school!" Amberly exclaimed, firing another lighting strike.
"Do you have a preference? I can make a dish to your liking, but I rather hear what Miss Amberly-san prefers." Sanji is continuing to dodge successfully, Amberly took note that he's not fighting back despite that he is powerful. however, after reexamining the reports and his encounters. She stops her attacks as she smirks understanding how this man works.
"I see, now I understand how you operate." Amberly said floating over the area while Sanji stops to look at her.
"You have a code of honor. Despite the fact you trespass into my Academy without reason or cause to infiltrate this school. Most likely is forced by people who demand you bring something to them. But more importantly, you can't hit children or women of the sorts. The former I say has to do with girls instead of boys since that makes some logical sense. But at the same time, you have no problem destroying property if that means some woman asked you to do this action. If so, would you be willing to work for me, if I ask?" Amberly tried to make herself appealing even if it was revolting to her disgust. But if this is what brings him down, she will use whatever method is necessary at the time.
"...Sorry Miss Amberly, I already have some ladies I work with now. If I just left them, I wouldn't look at myself for going against my principles and for what you're doing here." Sanji said, then he brought his cigarette out to smoke as he took one puff out continuing to speak, "But as much as I don't appreciate what you're doing, I won't fight you. No matter how detestable any lady is, I will not hit a woman no matter what. So, before you continue, can you please stop before you hurt yourself?" Sanji asked almost begging between the lines as he displayed his chivalry at this moment.
"HeheHAHA!" She started to laugh as this was some sick joke, she just heard finding it more humorous than most common jokes.
"Oh, now that is rich, you think because of your fancy suit and foot work that I would surrender to you?!" She continued to laugh as she mocked him and his ideals.
"If you think you can win because of your charming looks and gentlemen skills, you really have no concept of reality. In fact, if you think no one is going to get hurt-" As she trails off, she turned to face where the creature is hiding and blasted her lighting towards that direction, the shields held out for the most part. Luckily it escapes only for Amberly to shoot another at the creature. Before being struck Sanji step in front of it for some odd reason. He fell on his knee as he took the damage, having felt this before with Enel this was nothing compared to his attack.
"Your chivalry may have gotten you far no doubt about it. But here all heroes are meaningless, and any code of honor will be shut down immediately. Here I teach what I learned to become the world's greatest villainess in my time. Wealth, Power, Fame, all these things can be obtained when any child of villain parents assigns them here. For I will teach the next generation of villains to our glory days and soon you along with any heroics will one day die." She then summoned what appears to be cone like objects as they levitate to her side. When one appears, she threw this cone at Sanji. But with strength he still has stood up and kick the cone object at the side impressing Amberly and the creature looking up in awe and respect.
"So, you have some strength left in you? Well then." She summoned more cone like objects about 10 of them. In that moment Sanji didn't know why but he picks the creature about at least size of Germen Shepard dog in his arms and jumped away from the first attack. She tossed all eight as Sanji used his feet work to jump around and dodge them for the average eye with great ease. Amberly waited as she let the last one stay behind, once Sanji landed, he gently places the creature down as Amberly used all her power to throw this one with her fastest attack yet. But when this happens Sanji had his back turned and flip with his attack move Collier Shot as he landed his kick at the cone object and launched it back. Amberly didn't realize what happen as she had this sudden gravity pull from beneath her. This screamed as she didn't know what she could do. But in that moment, she stops falling as she felt to arms underneath her. Both belonging to Sanji who manage to catch her even for her size weight.
"Don't worry Miss Amberly. Your knight will lift you up from your fall." Sanji said struggling with the words but kept a brave face as he didn't want to show her weight is making things hard for him. She stared at this man, one moment fighting her and the next able to save her despite what she intended on doing.
"T-Thank you." She finally said as he gently helps her stand up appearing bigger than normal size human by one foot. What she felt this moment is something she thought was long dead. Shaking her head, she couldn't help feeling special in front of this man. Remembering in her youth of how many boys called her ugly or is disgusted by her appearance, it was her reason to become a villain from the start. But now, this man is showing none of these things she is used to many seeing her for appearance. If anything, this was something new and the fact he still didn't show anger for what she tried to do is really something to admire.
"You have my gratitude mister-"
"Sanji, the knight of all ladies and love." He self-proclaimed himself.
"...Well, you certainly live up to that name. Even after this you still help me before hitting the ground. I truly am thankful for this and what you did. Now if you don't mind me asking, why are you here exactly?" She asked wanting to know this all day.
"That gem is all I'm looking for." Sanji said pointing with his thumb.
"If I dare asked, why do you need it?" Feeling suspicious as it does pay to be cautious even for new and old people you meet.
"Normally I wouldn't answer because we just meet, and you tried to kill me. But since you asked politely, I can answer it. A friend of mine wants to use all the gems to travel to another world, she says that with all the clear gems including the color gems, we can access to another world given enough power." Sanji answered, when he explained himself. Amberly thought about what he explained and in some part of scientific mind there is some flaws to that idea. Suddenly a much louder rumble happened mostly outside as everyone can feel the trimmer from their feet.
"It looks like those dark creatures are getting the best of my security. If it isn't too much to asked, help save the children and school. Then I will let you and this Shnurgle out of here." She offered.
"Shnurgle?" Sanji questioned.
"The creature that is following you is an alien animal named Shnurgle. Personally, I haven't had time to study it since it came here by accident, even forget it was here. But considering what is happening I am releasing this creature and into your hands. In exchange I will also allow you to have this gem and portal to where your friends are located. Considered this an apology on my behalf and thankful for not hurting the students." She spoke. Nodding to her terms, he left saying his thanks as he will fight the heartless while the creature now known as Shnurgle follows Sanji like a puppy taken in like a stray.
Night of the Ninja III
Cortex's Icy Laboratory - Yuffie and Polar next day
When the two manage to reach inside the lab, Yuffie had to restart much of the building's power. Suffice to say it was easy considering the place look abandon or at least by appearance. The explosions outside continued as no doubt both Heartless and that large bear are still fighting. With the power turned on it was fortune they manage to reach this place before dark. Yuffie is starting to feel her bones again even if she still is nearly frozen to death. That said, she did rest in order to recover as she had some sheet of blanket or whatever she found inside the ice Laboratory. Even then she rested at night knowing this wasn't something she could have finished easily as the trip here has taken much out of her.
"It's so cold." Yuffie said chattering her teeth with her sheet cover not giving enough warm except for Polar who is staying by her side. Suddenly after a couple seconds after being awake she hears the explosion cease. In fact, nothing is happening outside other than silence and wind blowing at the fortress. Where Yuffie is located is down somewhere near the entrance she and the polar bear entered. When she arrived, inside the abandon lab is two pathways. One had led towards the main laboratory as she and the Polar Bear would have to navigate through the entire complex somehow. The other way actually leads to the power room, there they stayed for the night until morning.
"Seems like those two are finally done." Yuffie comment feeling relax to know they are gone. In all honest it had taken much out of her to just reach here without using up all her energy. Now after having her rest, she will have to find the gems as soon as possible.
"Well, I guess break time is over, we better start searching for the Gems before something else happens." The Polar Bear is rubbing her leg as it or he as Yuffie learned showed affection, in response she petted his head as she's grateful for his company. Stretching herself out she started to move but stop as her stomach growled loudly embarressing herself.
"When I get back, I'm going to ask Sanji to make 5 plates of his best food. I'm really starving at the moment, but I got to find those gems." She said to herself, soon she started to move around, heading towards the spiral stairway no doubt is where the gems are somehow located in this building. As she made her way towards the laboratory complex, she could see this may take some time as this building probably had many rooms to search.

5 hours later
Surprising enough, she hadn't encounter to much resistance. In fact, you could say all she had encounter were traps left by Cortex. No doubt figuring since he moved his most valued stuff to his new lab, he didn't need to protect this place. As she started to explore more of this place. The more she felt its empty, yet one thing that has been bothering her for some time. Aku Aku said that he hid some of the crystals and gems, but this belongs to one of the evil scientist's name Neo Cortex. So how did Cortex get his hands on the gems when Aku Aku assured them that they are hidden. Parts of her wondered if he knew or that this was more recent. The former sounds more plausible since their experience in world traveling is don't trust the first people you met.
"Looks like we won't be finding those gems anytime soon. We been at this for hours and I can tell this would take forever. What do you think little guy?" Yuffie asked the Polar Bear. He simply looks up and had his cute expression on him as he stared at Yuffie.
"If we weren't in such dangerous place I would cuddle and hug you like a bear. But I guess we need to keep looking, not like we're going to find anyone here." Yet after she said this trouble seemed to appear in someone laughing. The location she's at is at the middle of stairways going up but then is flat bridge going straight from outside it looks like some cone building, if look over the edge you see about 2 more stairways in similar design. Whoever design this lab didn't take into consideration of how to make buildings. Regardless the laughter didn't stop until something jumps in front of her and the Polar Bear. What appears is... odd to say the least. He had some Asylum Jacket wrap around him, appearing like some dog-kangaroo? She wasn't too sure as this strange creature appeared.
"I'm going to assume you're going to try and stop me, right?" She asked knowing the answer. The creature's name is Ripper Roo, one of Cortex's mutant henchmen that can bounce around and has fun playing with explosion. On top of this he is considered insane or intelligent if your fine with some weird mutant creature playing with explosions as your school or university teacher, how that works no one knows. In response RR laughed but most likely is somehow speaking to Yuffie in some strange way.
Ripper Roo Language: So, you're the new allies of Crash and his friends. Well, your worldly friends will not stop us. Although I did enjoy the fun and wacky adventures, unfortunately they have to come to some tragic end since Cortex and Uka Uka are planning to destroy this world. Much as I disagree, I got to save my own skin even I'm not that insane to die. Since this is going to be my biggest moment of our lives, I will end this fight with all the explosions I have gathered over the years. So, get ready Ninja Girl, cause Ripper Roo is ready to explode your day!"
Yuffie had no idea what this guy or girl? She wasn't too sure but can assume male, is laughing up some storm that she couldn't help feeling freak out. The Polar Bear felt the same as he stood behind Yuffie.
"Yeah, I don't like this guy either." Yuffie comments, when the battle began Ripper Roo started to jump around like crazy, seeing he wasn't taking the first strike. Yuffie used her shuriken to strike at Ripper Roo. Unfortunate each of them missed as he continued to laugh filled with excitement for what seems like 30 seconds. Yuffie was uncertain about this guy so she couldn't tell if he's just toying with her or that this was his abilities. When RR did change tactics, It jump high up then shot something from his mouth what appears to be Bowling Bomb, used in the racing is now used for spitting out bombs from who-knows-where.
Both the Polar Bear and Yuffie separated, but she had to comment, "EEW, that is disgusting!"
Yuffie had to change up the stragety as she can't hit him with her usual shuriken to her more special types that is large as her body. With this she threw it towards Ripper Roo after he... spit out 5 Bowling Bombs from his mouth. Aimed directly towards him, Ripper Roo is scared as it was about to hit him when he fell down. With one desperate move he spitted out a bowling bomb that exploded in short distance. Ripper Roo fell back sliding on the ground, but quickly jump up with a flip by chance. Yuffie threw three shuriken at Ripper Roo, only for him to jump away in time. Then with each bounce had somehow had TNT dropping from the sky as Polar Bear went towards the stairway where it felt safe. While Yuffie had to use her Aero Magic to blast one away. This caused an explosion as it beeps and landed among the group of TNTs. Seeing he can't play around Ripper Roo went towards the center avoiding two shuriken and the third one when jumping higher than before. Then like how Crash slams his body slam his own body bringing down Nitro crates. Shock Yuffie by impulse or instinct jump spinning her body as she dodges between the crates as they fell and exploded on impact. She landed with fear and shock in her eyes.
"ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND, YOU COULD HAVE KILLED US BOTH!" She shouted, but then saw Ripper Roo been affected by the blast yet jump back up saying words "Tada" as he appears unharmed like nothing happen.
"THAT'S NOT SOMETHING TO BE PROUD OF!" Yuffie shouted back.
"That's it, I had enough!" Yuffie then used her own techniques with magic to finish this off. Using some Wind magic coating her own Shuriken. While this may not sound like much, but with proper training and creativity you can do much with this magic. For her case when she threw the five shuriken at Ripper Roo, while they did miss because he bounces around, they avoided hitting the walls and instead turned like the wind is blowing around. This is because the Aero Magic is guiding the shuriken towards their intended target. In some cartoon fashion, his eyes bulge out screaming like from Tom and Jerry. Then as the shuriken all came close, Ripper Roo jump forward and used his tail to slam the ground that actually knock the wind out of the Shuriken. The impact of the slam is enough to make cracks on the ground enough to show the force of the impact.
"...Oh, that is bullsh-" Before she could finish Ripper Roo spat out Bowling bombs at her. Yuffie rolled to the side towards the right, flip backward, jump up, duck and jump towards the left dodging each bowling bomb. After the fifth one, Yuffie had to try something different as she then used Fire Magic to blast Ripper Roo. This missed as the fireball went upwards as Ripper Roo jump towards the center and made his largest jump. This brought down the Nitro Crates, Yuffie used reflect Magic this time as to avoid the attack. But that only work for a while as unexpectedly Ripper Roo had some missiles launch at her too quickly to dodge. Using the reflect magic she blocks the missile that caused smoke to block her vision. This ended up her downfall as TNTs appear around her ready to explode. She didn't react on time and exploded around her all five of the crates. The only fortunate part is that despite being human, every one of her friends including her are mostly superhuman by experience. Yet she is still covered in dirt and bruises along with some scratches that made her bleed somewhat. Using what cure magic she has, her vision cleared up as she witnesses what is at least 30 missiles appearing around the wall circling her. Ripper Roo laughed as he would give his command using some trick, he's using in this laboratory.
Say Bye bye baby!
But before he could make the call, he is slammed at the gut by surprising attack from the Polar Bear. As it watches Yuffie getting hurt and struggling to face this guy. Unable to watch any longer after the TNT crates exploded around her. The Polar Bear started to charge forth as the missiles are being brought out and slammed into Ripper Roo's stomach. Yuffie in her act of creativity and quick strategy, pulled out a thin rope long enough for what she planned on doing. Using her shuriken tied it around the bridge so when she acts on her plan she wouldn't hurt or kill herself. The polar bear is shoved aside as Ripper Roo got up and commanded the Missile to fire. When this happen Yuffie had prepared herself to jump over with strings wrap around her waist, then she jumps quickly as the first missiles missed after they are launched. about five of them slammed into the wall missing her she places her string. Afterwards more followed behind Yuffie as she is flip around the bridge until she was brought up towards the bridge after one flip around. The missiles are then either exploded on impact by the walls or are flown up or down. Leading some missiles destroying the bridge from underneath, and only 7 missiles remaining as the rest would have hit the wall or rocketed pass Yuffie after they missed. When she landed, she quickly ran towards Ripper Roo avoiding the holes. Shaken by the impact underneath him, he didn't see or pay attention to Yuffie jumping over him as she landed beside the Polar Bear as well as the missiles ready to explode at him. He had one final gasp and scream as the remaining missiles exploded, this sent Ripper Roo flying upwards and slammed into the wall as he fell down with his face forward sliding down unconsciously. Yuffie had used Reflect to protect her and the Polar Bear.
"Well, that was... different? Come on we better look around before that guy wakes up." Yuffie said, going the only way out the two continued walking and heading towards the next room.
Nature's Harmony III
2 Hours later - Aerith and Pura
After searching around this junkyard. She has found at least more gems, now only needing the color gem and thankfully had dealt with Dingodile (Even though he survives and escape), which should be the last seeing him. The day is almost done and soon the night would appear. Yet in this night, something wasn't exactly right.
"You okay little guy?" Aerith asked, as the small, tiny nodded keeping itself next to Aerith.
"That's good, I don't want you to get lost when we encounter anymore heartless. If any are around." Aerith has been feeling tense since her last fight with Dingodile and has been getting odd suspicions. Not in a way of what is happening that much as always been clear, what she finds suspicious in how these guys are finding the gems. Call it her intuition, but Aku Aku might have some things he hasn't said or spoke about. Honestly, he's not some evil guy using them for his plans. More likely he's got something in his mind, and this just take priority over what he's got to share.
Nighttime is arriving and they need to finish this search as quickly as possible. Throughout this trip Aerith is astonished to find this place has been floating in these waters somehow without any of it falling into the ocean depths. Part of her wonders how is this possible, yet another part would feel sick to know this as no doubt what Cortex is doing are somehow worse than what he's planning now. As the night sky started to appear, Aerith would have seen at least some stars in the night. But that didn't happen as something was glowing towards one direction that made her wonder what is happening. When she arrived to see where the light is coming from, her eyes widen to see it was the color gem. This one is yellow as it stood in some machine, what is does Aerith doesn't know, but what she does know is that this gem is connected to some large machine that seems to activate something as it's connected to some tubes that go underwater. The color of this gem is yellow as it appears to be giving off some powerful energy that is sense by her magic.
But before she could get close, heavy gust of wind blown around her and the tiger. This whirlwind is forming itself above the generator, as Aerith had to shield her eyes from seeing what is happening. She then heard laughter as it grew louder and appearing to be close somewhere she is located, when it shouted something appeared floating in the sky as some weird ghost. What is strange about this ghost is the appearance of some old gentlemen cloths of some high-class society in his days along with some skeleton features on the upper half.
"Hello world and welcome to my own private island, where my guest gets to arrive and drown in the bottomless seas. Sorry that this private island isn't finish, but I have to keep a tight schedule you know. Building my own mansion, collecting the treasures of the world, but more importantly luring unexpected guest over so I can crush them!" The last part had his voice deepen as he threatens both Aerith and the tiger's life.
"I can only assume you're the reason all of this is somehow floating up?" Aerith asked, feeling this guy was some monologue type. Franky when world traveling to these places most of them are at this point.
"Your correct, and I sense that in search of these gems that fool of a mutant brought them here thinking he wanted to kill you. Granted he never understand the power of those gems, but I do as me being dead has some advantages. Using that particular gem and you two fighting each other I use the gem to place in one of Cortex's so called failed inventions. Truthfully the so-called Scientist is so focus on world domination he can't tell what is considered an invention or genius on his part. The machine you see is attach to some gravity generator that is removed the power source all of this will fall on its own. Although considering that I wanted to build my own mansion on some private island, I did used most of my powers to keep it up float." The ghost said as he places his hand on his chin.
"I can only guess you're up to no good." Aerith prepared herself, ready her magic in case something happens. The tiger turned and growled as it senses another presence. This one might as well be some mutant tree with arms and legs. It's a servant to the ghostly figure as it waited on his master when giving the signal.
"You are right my dear, but why bother fighting when you and I can be allies. I sense your powerful... magic, is it? I can even sense you have distain for me because of what I'm doing with this junk polluting the waters. Well fear not madam, I can clean this up and I can even offer you more than whatever your friends are offering. If anything, I can even help you keep nature more preserved, join me and together we can do so much with our combine powers." He gave his speech, only for Aerith to shake her head having already decided what to do at this point.
"I already know this speech, and I know that you're the type of person in life who only care about no one but yourself. I can only guess your reason, but rather not say about them. So no, I don't accept." Somewhat knowing what is bound to happen, Aerith is actually ready to fight since some forces of supernatural can be dangerous. For this instant the ghost in front of her is no doubt someone she needed to defeat before something happens.
"Such as shame my dear." Is all he needed to say as the tree like mutant got the signal and launched some green goo that would have landed on Aerith if the Tiger didn't growl and made a small roar that warned Aerith of the incoming attack. She raised her reflect magic, blocking the first attack and used Zero gravity at her attacker. This forced the tree like mutant float up, caught in some no gravity field. This surprise the ghost being and is assaulted by Aerith who used fire magic at him. But it went through him like it was nothing.
He laughs at her pitiful attempt of attack, smirking as he knew this would happen, "Did you think for a moment that you could hurt me?!" The ghost exclaimed.
"Indeed, you are powerful in magic, but your power will not hurt the likes of me! For I am dead, and you are alive. Since you will dance to the death of this engagement I shall tell you my name madam, I am Mr. Crumb, and I will have all the golds and riches I had in life to even my afterlife!" With this declaration, Mr. Crumb used his ghostly powers to influence the battlefield. With one hand he commands the ground underneath Aerith and the tiger as both moved away in time before it sank into the oceans. The tree mutant is free from the magic powers as it stood up ready to serve.
"You have met my servant Thorn Thing. Now you shall die by our hands." Mr. Crumbs then used his powers to drop more surrounding them. tiger went after Thorn Thing as it would have distracted Aerith from her fight. The Tiger made Thron Thing jump as it bites the leg, trying to shake it off. This would be continual pattern as the tiger made sure to give Aerith room to deal with Mr. Crumb.
When the fighting began, Aerith used her magic to try and attack Mr. Crumb. So far fire, ice and lightning had no effect on him. She would then use other spells that shown to have no damage to him. He would use his powers to control the metal surrounding them to either drop down or raise up. This had forced Aerith to move around almost getting sent flying up or drop down into the ocean waters. Aerith used some creative spells that can combine two spells into one. For this case she used Fire and Aero magic to create almost like Fire breath from dragons called Fire Breath. But it was also in those moments of this battle she realizes that he's a ghost that can't be harmed through traditional ways.
Mr. Crumbs more than likely won't be harmed unless something like him can touch or harm him. But the chances of another ghost existing on this world is very slim, that and the battle is pointless unless I found out how to even the odds. No doubt magic won't harm him because it'll just go through him, in essence magic is energy but not the type I needs to fight him. Merlin has said that magic is energy through manipulation of the surroundings, but not to the point of reality bending. He even mentions of other sorts of powers that magic is the 1 of 4 foundations of Aether powers. One of them, I nor the others have power for this situation. Even so, if Magic is similar to manipulations of energy, then I need something that can affect Mr. Crumb's essence through another source!
Throughout the fight Aerith had to avoid many of Mr. Crumbs attacks, admittedly are creative through environment means. When dropping the land mass towards the ocean didn't work even if lowering the platform, Aerith used wind magic to move around quickly. When that didn't work Mr. Crumbs instead lifted the platforms and other pieces around the junkyard to throw Aerith off by going either up or down with his powers. He then started to throw different objects at Aerith as she useing reflect magic to block them every once in a while. But also used her other magic to stop the attacks on time before anything happen. After she had come to some battle plan, she looks where the gem is located and rushed over to try and grab the gem.
At the same time Thron Thing had enough of the Tiger biting him. So, he shoved the tiger away as he tried to attack but is attack more than once. The two had been at this for some time while Aerith continued her efforts to face Mr. Crumb.
"You should surrender while you can Missy, while your magical power is incredible, but against the dead you're out classed." Mr. Crumb launch another debris that it almost hit Aerith if she didn't react on time. When she dodges the debris, she used both ice and fire. Ice Magic to strike something on the ground, but then use fire magic as it blasted the ice to the point of creating smoke. Once this happens, she used aero magic to blast towards Mr. Crumb. He was blinded for a moment as he couldn't see what was happening.
"Heh, you think blinding me would save you and that pussycat? You sure think about the-" When Mr. Crumb turned to search for Aerith, he is blasted by Yellow energy that manage to damage him. When he rebalances himself, Mr. Crumb saw and gasp in fright as Aerith is using the Gem's Power to knock him down. She places her one hand on the gem while the other with her palm open towards him.
"W-Wait don't tell me?!" When Mr. Crumb figures out what she's doing, He is already hit with magic enhance power to effect ghost. Having enough of this non-sense, she used the gem's power to attack Mr. Crumb using from Fire that burned Mr. Crumbs body in yellow flames, then she used ice magic that seems to freeze the ghost in yellow like ice crystal. This made her disgusted by what she did, even Mr. Crumb didn't like this state as he felt very sick by it. She whispered her apologize considering this was supposed to be a serious fight change to using lightning attacks that shock Mr. Crumbs to the point of yellow and black as he's zapped to tap dance even without legs. Afterwards he is brought down by Gravity Magic and Zero Gravity as she snickered forcing the ghost up and down at least 10 times.
"WOULD YOU CUT IT OUT!" Mr. Crumbs exclaimed. Aerith gave a chuckle response as she kind of needed some relief after what she experiences. Used Aero magic that blasted him away. After a moment she remembered what Merlin had said about using these magical powers. While there are basic ways to use this magic, Merlin has always stated that "Knowledge is power" Having understood this after learning much from Merlin. She then used gravity magic and pointed towards Mr. Crumb, and without warning has him blasted towards Aerith as he tried to recover, only to be forced around once more. Aerith would then use light magic to finish him, once in reach she blasted him towards the chest. This pierces his soul as he could feel himself truly depart from this world.
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!" Mr. Crumb shouted in agony as he slowly screamed from his soul being forced to depart from this world. Thron Thing heard his master's scream and saw in shock that Mr. Crumb is not only defeated, but his soul is slowly being departed from the world. After this Aerith used her strongest aero magic to blast away Thron Thing as he couldn't handle the magical power that Aerith is displaying. She smiled when her tiger friend is shown unharmed by the fight.
"Thank you for helping out." She said petting the tiger on the head. After a moment of respite, Aerith would then remove the gem from the machine, yet this caused some chain reaction as without Mr. Crumb or the gems power all the metal junk that Cortex threw out is now sinking into the ocean deep. Aerith quickly ran towards the portal that is at least not so far but is too far for her comfort. Both of them ran as fast as possible as they had to maneuver around the sinking platform that's under their feet. After at least 2 minutes of running, they manage to find the portal that Dingodile might have used to get here. Aerith then used the gems power to give towards the generator to create a portal long enough to open. Once she gave enough energy, she types the coordinates that is given to her from Coco and both her and the tiger jump through. Soon everything fell down as the junkyard sank to the ocean depths, never to be seen again.
When she returns, Aerith is greeted by Coco, Franky, Cid, and Chopper surprise by her return even though Coco could had teleported her over.
"Aerith! You're alright!" Coco exclaimed, glad she arrived after figuring out what was happening over there, feeling responsible for not teleporting her over quick enough.
"Don't worry, I'm okay." Aerith tries to reassure them, glad to have friends that care for her and returned back to somewhat normal for now.
"Hey what is with the tiger?" Franky asked, even Cid is wondering the same thing as he looks at the tiger the same way as Franky.
"Pura! Oh, I miss you." Coco went over and snuggled the small guy.
"You know him?" Aerith asked in surprise.
"Pura says both him and Coco had been on some adventures together. He was minding his own business when suddenly he was teleported to another place he didn't recognize. But he is thankful that Aerith came along and help him get back to his friends." Chopper translated for the tiger.
"Huh, guess you made a friend. But what about you, how was your trip?" Cid asked as everyone is wondering the same thing.
"It's a long story." Aerith said shrugging.
And that's it for now. Like to hear what you think and comment about the chapters and will be finishing this up shortly. If you think this arc is long, wait until we get towards the other worlds. Hopefully more short arcs instead of long ones. Just so you know, when I have these attacks written down, none of them are calling out the attacks. They are to describe what they do if anyone looks up One Piece wiki for attack moves. While I do describe them, its only because explaining the move is annoying and can be all over the place. Until next time.
Color Gems found:
Red Gem - Luffy
Blue Gem - Spyro the Dragon
Green Gem - Sanji
Yellow Gem - Aerith
Character Profile:
Mr. Crumb - A Rich ghost filled with greed and selfish impulse. Once in life he was someone of high statues and power behind him using wealth and fame at his grasp. But like all things humanity mostly or sometimes fails to understand the concept of afterlife and death. Anything that isn't seen is the idea of humanity to create belief or truth. Mr. Crumbs is the example of defying the norm as he came back unaccepting of his demise and seeks to gain earthly power and wealth through fearful means or greedy ambitions.
Thorn Thing - How this being is alive are unknown, you could mistake it as one of Cortex's experiment. But truthy despite Mr. Crumbs personality he is loyal and evil as his master. Thorn Thing is like that bully who wants to push others around when it suits him, even now he only follows Mr. Crumb because it means harming others. Unsurprising as his birth of origins is from Mr. Crumbs ghostly powers and will to have someone serve him by his side. Thus, Thron Thing is by some chance created through Mr. Crumbs abilities. This can't be confirmed or known as Thorn Thing doesn't have the ability to talk but has the ability to through green slim that comes from his body and makes sticky mess.
