Chapter 6 - Survival
Usopp stared as Zaebos removd his hood, he had blank eye's and a long sharp nose, his teeth were black with decay and he had long dark hair, he threw of his cloak and appeared in a jet black body suit with paddings on the knees, shoulders and elbows, he raised his hand and shards of rock began to surround him, he ceated solid stone armour around his torso, arms and legs.
"What the?" asked Usopp "How can we break through stone?"
"It doesn't matter." said Chopper "As long as we find a way to defeat him."
"But I can't really hurt him if he's in armour." moaned Usopp
"I have a plan." said Chopper "I'll draw him to fight and you wait for the perfect moment to use THAT."
"THAT!" cried Usopp "But it's dangerous. And I went through hell to get it. I had to battle many beasts for that."
"Yeah." laughed Chopper, he knew Usopp was lying but he couldn't be bothered arguing.
Chopper bit down into a rumble ball and charged Zaebos "Horn boost."
Zaebos grabbed Choppers horns and skidded backwards, he drove his heels into the ground to regain footing, he hoisted Chopper into the air and slammed him straight into a large rock.
"Damn!" snapped Usopp as he fired a pellet at Zaebos, who dodged it easily.
Usopp rumaged in his bag as Zaebos approached him.
Chopper came sprinting up behind Zaebos and captured him in his mighty horns.
He flung Zaebos into the sky and turned to usopp who pulled out a dial on a large (fake) 5-ton hammer.
"Usopp's Ultimate Hammer!" cried Usopp as he swung the hammer at Zaebos who took the blow full on in the chest.
Zaebos was stunned as the hammer exploded on contact.
His chest armour shattereda s he slammed into the ground.
"He wasn't that strong after all." laughed Usopp "The Impact dial was plenty."
"Heavy Boost!" cried Chopper as he saw Zaebos' arm move.
Chopper arrived just as Zaebos eaped to his feet, he caght Choppers punch and flung his arm to the side, he ducked under Chopper and slammed his fist into the furry brwn chest, Chopper flew backwards abnd slammed into a large pile of rocks.
"CHOPPER!" cried Usopp, Zaebos was upon the coward in seconds.
Zaebos grabbed Usopp's throat and picked him up off the ground.
"Shit!" snapped Usopp as he grabbed another dial and placed it onto Zaebos' broken chest spot.
"Again." laughed Zaebos
"This one is different." smiled Usopp "This isn't impact, this is Reject!"
"What's the difference?" askede Zaebos.
"You'll find out." smiled Usopp "REJECT!"

Franky had stumbled his way through the dark passageways of the tunnel.
"damn it." he moaned as he stubbed his big toe against a rock "This stupid cave is pitch black, plus I'm lost and I'm alone..."
He stopped as he suddenly found that there was no floor beneath his feet.
"Shit!" he cried as he fell downinto the darkness, he hit a rocky floor and rolled onto his back "Stupid cave."
The cave was lit brightly as Franky saw a huge flame rocket above him.
"What the hell?" asked Franky as he sat up "What was that?"
The flame came again and this time it burned his bum.
"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" screamed Franky "Who the hel is doing that!"
Franky didn't like the answer as the cave began to shake as footsteps came closer to him.
"This can't be good."
The flame rocketed out of a tunnel to Franky's left, he was blasted of his feet and slammed against a wall and fell to one knee.
"What are you doing in my cave?"
"Who's there?" asked Franky
A girl with long silky black hair and cat like blue eye's appeared before him.
Franky rose to his feet and stared at the girl "Who are you?" he asked
"Tiamat." answered the girl as she appeared behind Franky who hadn't even seen her move.
"What the hell..." started Franky but stopped as Tiamat slammed her fist into his back.
Franky fell to the ground and was unable to move as Tiamat stood on his back.

Sanji was flung by the impact of the explosion, he shot backwards through the air, hit his head against a large rock and drifted into unconcsiousness.
When he awoke, he was alone, there was no sign of Zoro, the mountain was half it's original size too.
"Stupid Marimo." moaned Sanji "Always getting lost!"
Sanji stood up and looked around, he saw nothing but a ruined wasteland with half a mountain that was still smoking.
He decided on going across teh wasteland, he had to fid someone he knew, he was really worried about Nami but kne wthat as long as she hadn't lost Luffy then she would be ok.
It took a while but he eventually came to a cave.
"A place to rest." laugehd Sanji a he entered into a huge cavern, the ceiling was over 100 foot high, it also had many passageways.
"Which way should I go?" thought Sanji
He saw a flash and jumped, fire flew beneath him.
"Who the hell is attacking me!" snapped Sanji as he heard something emerging from one of the passageways.
A large grey dragon appeared, it had sharp teeth, yellow eye's and sharp grey claws.
"More dragons." moaned Sanji
"I'm surprised." answered the dragon "Have you run away from a dragn before."
"Actually" answered sanji "I met a beautiful dragon named Tiamat."
Sanji dodged again as flames were poured down upon him.
"How dare you!" roared the dragon "That's QUEEN Tiamt!"
"Sorry!"
cried Sanji as he dodged more flames "Look how about you tell me
were to find Queen Tiamat. I need her help with something."
"Seeing
a show she let you go last time." snorted the Dragon "She's
down there dealing with an intruder."
Sanji watched a sthe Dragon pointed it's tail to a lareg opening set a few feet up in teh rock, he jumped through it and raced down the pasageway, he knew he was getting closer a she heard an argument and saw bright flashes of light.
Sanji emerged to see Tiamat standing on Franky.
Franky was shocked, so was Tiamat as Sanji lung himself at her.
"You look more beautiful than ever Tiamat-san!" cried sanji
Tiamat breathed fire on him. Sanji yelled as he fell holding his face, he grunted and stood up, the smoke that Tiamat's fire had left behind was rising from him in the shape of a love heart.
Franky burst out laughing.
"What's so funny?" asked Sanji
"Above you eye." answered Franky
Sanji felt above his eye and suddenly realized what was wrong "MY STYLISH EYEBROW IS GONE!"
"Do you now this pantless freak?" asked Tiamat
"Yeah." answered Sanji as he lit a cigarette.
"Where is the green haired one?" asked Tiamat
"I lost him." answered Sanji
"I have a deal to make with you." smiled Tiamat, she revealed a dzzling smile that almost caused sanji tofall over.
"I'll do anything for you." he cried as his eye turned into a love heart.
"A fiend named bel rules this world, if you help me get rid of him then I shall open the gate to the next world for you." said Tiamat
"Deal." replied Sanji "I'll beat anyone for you."
Franky sighed as Tiamat stepped off of him.
"I'll help you out." he said.
----------
Zaebos felt his chest explode, black blood burst from his chest and spalttered across the wasteland, he fell to the ground, blood oozing from his nose and mouth.
Usopp also hit the ground, his arm smokeing from the impact.
Chopper cheered as Zaebos fell, he then rushed to Usopp.
Usopp sat up and smiled at Chopper "We win."
"You're so cool!" laughed Chopper
Usopp remembered his last night in skypiea, after seeing thi reject dials power on the giant beanstalk, he decided to steal it, he succeeded and figured that no one would care since it was forbidden.
"This dial is really powerful." laughed Usopp "But it hurts ten times worse than impact."
"He said he was a member of the dark eight." sighed Chopper "That means his seven buddies will be after us."
Usopp began to shake "More guys like him..."
"Let's go." said Chopper "Before they come looking for their pal."
Usopp began to shake violenty, his teeth chattered and his eye's stared in awe as Zaebos arose.
"NO WAY!" screamed Usopp
"Can't be." whispered Chopper
Zaebos howled in rage as he lunged at the two Straw Hats.
