Chapter X: Jewel of Power PT.2
Everyone was standing around in the one cart, the girls were all in the suite room while the guys(Zero, Fira and Avalon) stayed standing up outside of the room. Currently we find our SeeDs riding on a train to Timber.
" So what are we gonna do how are we gonna get to Esthar from here?" Avalon asked.
" Yes there is a great barrier that divides the east continent from the rest of the world" Zero said.
" Well ya see there is a weak spot in that wall and we're headed to that weak spot now" Fira said. " Squall told me, he said that he and his crew got to Esthar through a secret compartment in that wall."
" Hmm where is the tear?" Zero asked.
" I dunno exactly but I do know where to look, we have to go to the east from Timber onward to the long bridge past Fisherman's Horizon" Fira said replied.
" I see" Zero said. "So whose gonna take on the job of holding the Shikon no tama"
" I dunno" Fira said rubbing his chin. All of a sudden the train stopped.
" Looks like we're here" Avalon said staring out of the window. The four girls walked out of the suit room all in a row. The doors opened and they all walked out of the train into the train port.
" Come on peeps we're gonna leave town and head east from here" Fira said turning chibi and leading the way.
"We're gonna walk?" Utada asked chibi Fira stopped his little march and turned around. The background goes black and Fira is stuck in the spotlight.
(&.&) " Uhhh…yes" Fira replied.
"Wrong" Kuro said walking over. " We have 30,000 gil left over from the material expenses"
meek tone " Let's use it to rent a vehicle" Miko suggested.
" Yea let's rent a car" Kiako said jump raising her fist up.
" Okay we'll rent a car" Chibi Fira said kicking a rock. ' I'm the leader here'
" YEA I'LL RENT A CAR TO YOUS KIDS" The man standing behind the counter said. " That'll be about 15,000gil" He said holding his hand out, Kiako handed the man half of the team's expenses and riding out of the garage was a big yellow hummer. The man stepped out of the car and walked into the garage closing the door.
"Wow that's ours?" Utada said almost loosing control.
" It is for four days" Kuro said.
" Cool" Chibi Fira said rubbing the tires.
" I'm SO driving that thing" Avalon hopped into the driver's seat. Zero got into the passenger's seat as Fira and the girls loaded up their backpacks into the trunk. Fira then jumped in first grabbing a window seat, sitting next to him was Utada, then next to her was Kuro and Kiako got another window seat all crammed into the back seat.
" Kind of close back here" Kuro said.
" Yea it is kinda smaller in the inside than out" Fira said turning chibi again looking like alittle baby in a car seat.
" Already everybody I got the controls down, Kuro babe sit tight I'll drive nice a hard for ya" Avalon said switching the gears.
" PUHLEASE" Kuro said rolling her eyes. The hummer took off speeding towards the entrance of town. It zoomed past the entrance guards and in less than 30seconds they were out of Timber. The hummer truck drove onto the bridge and started over the east water bed a large drink of sea that was connected to the oceans.
"Wow the ocean it's so pretty and blue" Kiako said.
" Thanks for pointing out the obvious as usual Kiako" Kuro sighed.
" Well guys it's a two hour drive to the otherside" Avalon said with one hand on the wheel and the other relaxed on the armrest.
" 2hours" Chibi Fira said staring up at Utada. ' Two hours of sitting next to Utada… I'd die long before we reached the otherside'
Little did they know halfway across the bridge waiting for them was four figures, one of them holding a huge sword, the other looking like a female in the face. One huge fellow like a robot and the other a bald monk looking guy.
" Big brother is that them?" The woman like man asked holding a curving blade on his shoulder.
" Yes" The man with huge Banryu replied with his blade drenched over his shoulder as well.
Back in the car Fira had once again turned chibi with fright from sitting next to the girl of his dreams.
' Fira keep your eyes looking outside…keep em outside looking at the sea' Fira thought to himself. As he talked his eyes drifted to the left and that's when he noticed Utada looking at him. Chibi Fira's eyes grew wide then turned back to looking out the window again while anime style sweat drops swam down his face. While Avalon was driving appearing out of nowhere in the middle of the road was the Banryu, Avalon spotted it and at the last second tried to turn and avoid it but the hummer slammed right into the sword causing it to flip forward and land on it's back.
" Hahahaha you really got em that time Bankotsu" The woman like man laughed.
" Don't you think that's over doing it big brother?" The man with the cloth on his head asked.
" Nope" Bankotsu replied.
Suddenly the front and back doors were kicked open and crawling out was Avalon and the others.
" Oh whoever did that is gonna get such an ass whooping" Avalon said rubbing the back of his head.
(-\/-) "Yea!" Kiako said punching the air then holding her head her ears still ringing from the impact of the fall. She turned chibi and lied down on the ground next to chibi Fira whom was just lying on the ground with swirly eyes.
O.o meek tone " who are those guys?" Miko asked as the four stepped up to the young SeeD group.
" We are what's left of the Band of 7, I am Bankotsu, this is Jakotsu, that's Ginkotsu and he's Renkotsu" Bankotsu said stepping up. " And we'll be the ones killing you today"
O.O " Did he say kill! Whoa look at the size of that guy's sword Kuro protect me!" chibi Fira said trembling behind Kuro's legs.
" Get out here ya wimp" Kuro said tossing Fira from behind her.
" Oh he's cute" Jakotsu said blushing and holding and pointing his sword at Chibi Fira. " You what is your name?"
" Me…huh? huh? huh? huh?" Chibi Fira looked to the left then the right then the left confused then pointed at himself and Jakotsu smiled and shook his or her head yes.
" I'm Fira" Chibi Fira said as tears ran down his eyes he had his stubby legs up ready to high tail it outta there.
" Fira I'll chop you into ity bity pieces" Jakotsu cooed.
" YIPE!" Chibi Fira took off running but Avalon held onto his collar.
" What do you guys want!" Utada said resting her hand on her hilt.
" We want the Shikon no tama" Bankotsu said pointing his Banryu at Miko.
O.O (This is how Miko was looking when Bankotsu pointed the huge blade at her)
(-.-) meek tone "Well your not gonna get it" Miko said holding the little black box.
" Yea" Kuro said stepping up with a firm grip on her wand. Currently Kuro was working up a spell in the middle of the commotion.
" I guess we'll just have to see about that won't we?" Bankotsu said getting into fighting position.
" I guess we will" Avalon said drawing his millennium rod.
" You ready my little Fira?" Jakotsu asked getting into fighting position.
O.o " Uh is there any other way we can… uh settle this a game of Uno? Maybe checkers or Monopoly?" Chibi Fira asked as his little eyes got wide.
" Miko you stay back and guard the Shikon no tama" Utada said holding her sheath and the hilt of her sword as Renkotsu stepped up to her.
meek tone "Okay" Miko said giving Utada a positive headshake.
" Kiako you and me will toetag big ugly here" Kuro said as Ginkotsu stomped up rocking the bridge with every step.
" Right" Kiako said turning back to normal and getting in her fighting set.
" Mind if I help you two with this brute?" Zero said stepping up beside Kiako.
" Oh not at all" Kiako blushed.
All at once everyone attacked. Utada rushed Renkotsu, she had one hand on her sheath which was at her waist and the other hand on her katana. She swung overhead and Renkotsu ducked then retaliated with shooting a fireball at her, Utada pulled her sword up at the last second and was blow back like seven to eight feet in the air and ten meters back. She landed on her back but got up fast to avoid Renkotsu's flame throwing sputter. Utada was then jumped from left to right, front and back dodging nothing but fire, Utada took off running towards Renkotsu again, Renkotsu drank his some gas from his gourd and spat fire that spread out in all directions at that moment Utada jumped through the air and came dropping down on Renkotsu like a bomb.
" HUH!" Renkotsu shouted as Utada came down slicing his shoulder and spilling blood. Renkotsu jumped back and touched his shoulder, which was drenched in blood. " You'll pay for this"
" Yea that's what they all say" Utada said swinging her katana blade down making the blood fly off of the clean blade. " So save me the long pointless speech and let's get back to me kicking your butt"
" ERRR" Renkotsu gritted his teeth in anger. " why you little b&$#!"
Kiako, Kuro and Zero jumped out of the way of a cannon from Ginkotsu's huge body. Kuro landed down first then fired a Thundaga attack at him. But the thunder just bounced off of his metallic armor.
" HA HA HA HA… My body is resistant to all magical attacks" Ginkotsu said like a zombie.
" Damn" Kuro cursed as he fired another cannon ball at them with his launcher on his back. Kuro, Kiako and Zero dodged again.
" Looks like we're gonna have to handle this raw" Zero said pulling out two kunais.
" Yea" Kiako pulled out some chalk and drew an alchemy circle in the ground. She then transmuted some of the metal from the bridge onto her gauntlets to give them an extra edge in battle. Zero jumped off first phasing out and reappearing behind Ginkotsu landing on his back. He stabbed the Kunai into Ginkotsu's neck Ginkotsu used his chains to grab onto Zero and toss him over his shoulder. Zero caught his balance in the air an landed on his feet sliding back and hitting the turned over hummer truck. Kiako rushed Ginkotsu neck kicking Gin in the chin with a rising kick. She landed down on her feet and turned chibi…
" Ow my foot" Kiako hopped around.
T.T " Hopeless" Kuro said stepping forth. Kuro ran up to Gin but was soon stopped when Ginkotsu shot a net at her capturing her into a bundle.
" RUNRUNRUNRUNRUNRUNRUNRUNRUNRUN!" Chibi Fira took off running as Jakotsu's bending sword attacked multiple places around him. " AAHHHHHHHH!" Chibi Fira screamed while running for his life. Fira ran to the edge of the bridge and had no place else to run. He turned back to normal size then pulled out both Keyblades.
" How does his sword bend like that? It's like a rattle snake zig zagging through the air?" Fira said to himself holding up the Ice Queen and the Metal Chocobo. Jakotsu's bending sword bounced off of Fira's blade as he was thrown over the edge.
" OH NO!" Jakotsu cried running over. " I wanted to kill him"
From behind her or him the Metal Chocobo went flying towards her like a boomerang. Jakotsu saw if at the last second and dodged to the side, the Metal Chocobo missed by a hair and went flying into the air and back to Fira. Jakotsu turned around to see Fira standing there holding his Keyblades in fighting position.
" How'd you? I saw you fall over the…" Jakotsu said dumbfounded. " Oh I think I'm in love"
" Yuck that's so gay" Fira replied.
"Hmhmhm" Jakotsu giggled he or she then tried to slash Fira with the curving sword again. Fira flipped backwards dodging the first wave of the sword then rushed Jakotsu running under the sword. Jakotsu jumped back then he or she made the sword downward, Fira thinking fast jumped up and tossed the Ice Queen Keyblade at Jakotsu to distract him or her. Jakotsu dodged to the side only to get knocked back by Fira's second keyblade the Metal Chocobo.
"Err… ow that attack was pretty good" Jakotsu smiled. " Your one out of a million Fira, but unfortunately its not enough to finish me"
(-.-) " Awww man can't we just call it quits for now" Fira said turning chibi as white swiggles ran down his cheeks anime style.
" So I take it you're the leader of your group?" Bankotsu said twirling his Banryu in the air on hand.
" No he is unfortunately" Avalon said cutting his eyes to look at Fira whom was chibi and running around from Jakotsu's curving blade.
" That babbling weakling is your leader?" Bankotsu smiled and laughed.
"It's not all that funny" Avalon said.
Avalon then with his millennium rod created a sword of pure dark energy. Avalon then rushed Bankotsu with a vertical slash. Bankotsu attacked back with his banryu at the same time and position.
" Ha with all of that energy to create the sword you hardly have enough to protect yourself" Bankotsu said kicking Avalon back. He then spun his sword in the air then cut the air sending an invisible wave of power flying to Avalon. Avalon couldn't block or dodge and the attack struck him sending him flying over the edge of the bridge and hanging on the edge. Bankotsu walked through the battles and straight over to Miko.
(-\./-) meek tone "don't take another step!" Miko said holding back an arrow on her bow string. Defying her Bankotsu took another step and Miko shot the arrow at her. Ban caught the arrow and snapped it like a twig as he stepped up to Miko. Miko pulled out her reverse blade sword and ran over to Ban slamming it on his shoulder. Bankotsu didn't move or so much as flinch from that attack.
" Hahahaha a sword with no edge?" Bankotsu laughed. " This is too funny"
" Huh?"
He grabbed Miko's hand and rammed his fist into her stomach. Miko coughed up blood then fainted as Bankotsu took the jewel.
" I got what we came for let's go" Bankotsu said jumping off like a ninja.
" NO HE'S GOT THE JEWEL!" Utada shouted trying to head after Bankotsu. Renkotsu jumped infront of Utada and blasted her in the face with another flame blast sending her flying back.
" It has been fun little girl" Renkotsu said kicking Utada in the chest as she coughed. Renkotsu then ran off as well.
Bankotsu walked over to a vacant spot in the bridge and stabbed his Banryu into nothing causing a rip in between dimensions. He then stepped in with Renkotsu not too far behind.
Ginkotsu then opened up the pack on his back and caused missiles to fly everywhere distracting Zero and Kiako for only a minute. He then crawled into the portal after him.
" Damn our times up Fira kun" Jakotsu said.
" SCREW YOU SICKO!" Chibi Fira shouted.
" Later cutie" Jakotsu then took off into the portal and the portal closed behind them leaving the SeeDs behind. As soon as they were all gone Fira turned back to normal size and ran over to where Avalon was hanging for his life. He held his hand out and pulled Avalon up… Kiako and Zero untied Kuro and Utada was just recovering from Renkotsu's cheap shot and so was Miko from Ban's cheap blow as well.
" Well that battle didn't exactly go the way I hoped" Fira said shrugging.
meek tone " They got the Shikon no tama it's all my fault" Miko said drooping her head low.
" Nah it's not that Bankotsu is just one strong bastard" Avalon said.
" I believe we took them too lightly" Kuro said crossing her arms to her chest.
" And I believe they were doing the same with us" Zero said.
" Yes" Utada agreed.
" What are we gonna do now report back and tell the Headmaster the jewel was stolen?" Kiako asked.
" No if we do that he'll never entrust us with a big mission like this again" Fira said.
" Are you saying we should go after them?" Kuro asked.
" Exactly what I'm saying" Fira said.
" But we don't know where to look" Kiako said.
" That was a dimensional rift they went into they could be anywhere on this planet" Utada said pulling out bandages and tending to her own wounds. Fira walked over and kneeled down before her helping to wrap a bandage around her thigh. Utada blushed wildly as Fira helped.
" I know that… But we've got to do something rather than just sit here or go back to the garden… This is an order you guys from your Squad Leader" Fira said.
" Hm well you heard him" Zero said walking over to the hummer. " Help me flip this truck over we got some bandits to find'
"ALRIGHT THEY AGREE WITH ME!" Chibi Fira said jumping up and hugging Utada blushed again then stared down at him.
" I hope we find them" Utada said.
" We have to" Kiako said running over to help push over the truck.
(Author's Note: Ya know it's been awhile since I seen Inuyasha because I've grown abit sick of it, but afew days ago I caught an episode for once and seen these new guys inu was fighting the band of 7. I found that these guys can really KICK ASS. So I decided to add only the ones whom I thought could really fight.)
