Hello everyone, here is an another one shot. This time it is a scene that goes a bit different
This is going to be from chapter 16 The Calm
When Ace climbed the cliff and fell, what if he didn't manage to stop his descent?
Hope you enjoy
Ace moved his hand to an another dent in the cliff, dragging himself upwards and placing his leg where his hand had previously been. He was a bit over the overhang and was really enjoying himself, climbing cliffs were always enjoyable. Ace felt the rock he was now holding on being a bit loose, but he saw no other easier way to continue and took the chance on it. He was pleased when it managed to keep his weight as he continued, lifting his other hand to drag himself more. When he put his foot on the rock and was on his way to grab onto an another with his hand, he felt the rock give out and he lost all footing with his legs. Ace was a bit shocked to feel the rock gave after, but he had a good hold on a rock with his left arm.
But when he moved to get a better hold again, that rock also gave out and Ace fell.
Ace was mildly startled, but he was prepared. He moved his hand to his belt and took his dagger out and plunged it into the wall. He was almost past the overhang when his descent stopped. He gave a relieved breath as he felt his legs dangling over the overhang. Only a few more feet and he would have been completely airborne, not being able to catch himself on the cliff. Ace was just about to move his free hand to the cliff, to get a grip so he could continue,
When his dagger broke and Ace plunged towards the ground.

Marco sat with his father, Rakuyo, Thatch, Izou, Haruta and Blenheim on the ground, watching as Ace climbed the cliff. He was impress with how agile he was, he was climbing at a pace Marco would call fast and seemed to be accustomed in climbing. He wasn't too surprised to be honest, Ace weren't the best for nothing. But the cliff was steep and Ace had even managed to climb the overhang. It was amazing to watch, every moment seemed to be thought out and planned as he climbed on.
Ace was a bit over the overhang when a rock he was standing on gave away. Marco felt worried, but saw Ace had a good grip in the rock his hand was holding on. But when Ace moved to get a better grip, that rock also gave away, making it so Ace fell. Marco was immediately upright and ready to transform, when he saw Ace bringing out a dagger and plunging it in the cliff. He watched in anxiousness as his descent slowed down and he managed to come to a halt just in time, half his frame already over the overhang. He could see Ace giving a relieved sigh and gave one himself. He was about to sit down,
When Ace's dagger broke and he fell plunging to the ground.
Marco stood in shock for a split second before transforming and flying to catch Ace. He wasn't sure he was able to be fast enough, but he was at least going to try. He hallway when he saw Ace turning in the air and seeing him. When Ace saw him, he could see the young assassin looking a bit surprised before laughing. Why was he laughing? He was falling to his death! It was then he realized he wouldn't be fast enough to catch him. But before he managed to try to go even faster, Ace disappeared.
And suddenly he felt a weight on his back.
Marco was shocked and fell down a bit at the sudden weight before he managed to gather himself again. He had momentarily forgotten about Ace's powers. Ace did probably have a plan if he fell, the reason he was laughing when he saw him coming for his rescue. Marco then felt a pet on his neck and craned it to look at Ace, who was smiling. ¨Think you can fly up so I can get the blade?¨ Said an amused Ace, pointing to the cliff where his blade was still lodged. Marco wanted to roll his eyes, he had saved Ace, he did probably have a plan, but he was currently on his back, so Marco went by saved. And he was worried about his blade? Marco did start flying up to the cliff, to where the overhang ended.
When he was there, he felt Ace stand a bit up on his back. Was he really going to jump off? Before he managed to think more, Ace had jump off and grabbed the cliff side, this time having a god grip. He flew a bit back to watch Ace, ready to grab him again if he fell. He watched as he found the blade and dislodged it. When he had the blade in his hands, he looked at him, still a smile on his face. ¨Meet you on the ground.¨ He said before he disappeared. Marco looked at the ground and saw Ace reappearing and flew down.
When he got to the ground, Ace was looking his broken dagger over. When he landed, Ace gave a sigh. ¨I liked that dagger.¨ He said, putting the part away with a shake of the head. He could see Thatch looking at Ace in shock. ¨You're worried about your dagger! You almost died!¨ Ace lifted an eyebrow before shaking head, starting to undo the bandages around his arms. ¨I would have just teleported to the ground or a tree. But Marco did at least save me the trouble of climbing after my blade again.¨ He said and gave a smile to the man. Marco shook his head and gave a laugh at Thatch who gave a ¨Oh…¨ As he also remembered Ace's powers.
¨Son,¨ Started his father, looking concerned at Ace who was taking the bandages off. ¨You aren't injured.¨ Marco looked at Ace, the man a point, Ace had bandages. Ace shook his head. ¨No. I have the usual scrapes, but the bandages prevent a lot. The reason I put them on.¨ One bandage was off and they saw basically no scrapes. The captain gave a smile and a laugh, ¨That's good to hear. It was an amazing sight, you are a great climber, son.¨ Ace gave a smile, ¨Thanks, I had fun to.¨ All of them smiled at that, it did look like he had fun. Marco shook his head, Ace even looked like he had fun while he was falling.
