Chapter 12
Chelsea gasped in horror as she watched this happen. Tashigi turned around and smirked evilly.
"Go ahead… you both will die this way if you go after him…" she told the trembling brunette. Chelsea ran past her and leapt off the edge, powers on not she'd be with him to the end. Tears filled her eyes as she knew she'd sealed her death.
Zolo opened his eyes and saw her falling after him.
"NO!" he shouted as he didn't want her to die. She started to fall rapidly faster. She opened her arms to reach out to him.
"ZOLO---!" she screamed and then pain shot through her back. She screamed as new wings forced themselves out of her back. Zolo's eyes widened.
'What?!? She got her powers back?!?' Zolo thought shocked. He watched in horror as her two original wings forced out two more pairs of wings. She screamed as she burst through the air faster as they neared the ground. Even though in pain she opened her arms and burst towards the falling swordsman. She caught him in her arms as the ground came ever so nearer. Two feet from the ground she stopped in mid air and then she blasted towards the docks. Zolo wrapped his arms around her bloody back to hold on. He could feel the ground just barely touching the back of his shirt. He could also see the dust rising from where they'd previously flown.
"Chelsea… You got them back…!" he whispered in her ear. Chelsea didn't answer. The merry go was insight as she blasted higher into the air. All of the straw hats were standing on the deck awaiting her return. Their jaws dropped as they saw her flying towards them. Sanji thought to himself.
'What?! She got them back?!? But wait! She has more wings than she did last time!'
"SHOVE OFF!!!" Chelsea shouted as she landed on the deck. She put Zolo on the ground gently; she was about to turn and help when Zolo's hand reached out for her.
"Chel…sea…" he said hoarsely. Chelsea looked down at him.
"Chopper! He needs medical attention!" She shouted as she picked him back up. Chopper rushed back over to her.
"He doesn't need it as bad as you do Chelsea!" he squeaked. The six winged girl glared at the reindeer.
"I don't care about me. Just help HIM." She said darkly. She went below deck and set Zolo down on a bed.
'Something's not right with her!' Chopper thought in fear. He too rushed below deck and began to work on cleaning the swordsmen's wounds. Chelsea ran back out and helped with a strong wind as they left the naval island. Off in the distance she could see Smokers ship gaining on them.
"Damn him!" Chelsea screamed as she ran to the back of the ship. She spread her wings out as Sanji came up behind her and grabbed her hand.
"CHELSEA!" he shouted. "Don't go!" he said as he tried to make her stop. "They'll kill you!" Chelsea looked at him with some small anger in her eyes, then they softened and she smiled.
"I'll be fine Sanji…" she said as she gently took her hand from his grasp. She hugged him. "If… I don't come back tell Zolo that I love him." She said as she let go and ran off the edge her wings spreading to their fullest length. She soared off towards the other ship.
Cannonballs shot all around her as she flew in closer. She dodged them all with ease; even the ones that came to close to her she sent right back at them. Tashigi could be seen at the bow waving a sword at her. She motioned for the men to stop firing.
"WHAT'S WRONG CHELSEA?!?" she shouted as she smiled evilly. "CAN'T TAKE MY STEEL?!?" Chelsea looked down at the swordswoman. She raised her arm in the air. Behind her storm clouds formed as a strong wind from the west blew in.
"Blade of the heavens!" she cried out as lightning flashed and rain began to pour down. More lightning flashed and Chelsea roared as she changed again. Tashigi stared up in shock as the girl in the air looked nothing like she did a few moments ago.
Chelsea's hair had grown to where it fell to her feet. Her clothes were now a white dress with a gold tie at the waist. In her hands was a long thin blade the hand guard had wings that sparkled. Even as the rain poured down she still looked majestic. She floated down to Tashigi. Tashigi backed up in fear.
"Wha—what happened?!? YOU AREN'T CHELSEA!" she shouted as she charged at the girl in white. Their swords clanged.
"You are right… I am your worst nightmare!" Said the angel as she threw Tashigi off. "I am the wind of all four directions! I am calm before the storm! I AM WYNN!" she shouted as she charged at Tashigi. Their swords clanged as Wynn delivered blow after blow each flowing one right after the other. Tashigi had to work hard not to get cut, she broke away and Wynn circled her blade around in the air.
"WEST WIND TYPHOON!" she shouted as a large blast of wind and rain blasted at Tashigi. Tashigi screamed as she was flung back against the mast. Wynn jumped up in the air and zoomed at Tashigi. Wynn's long, thin blade found its mark inside Tashigi. Tashigi choked, as she tried to talk, blood spilt from her lips.
"Doesn't it hurt?" Wynn asked mockingly as she twisted the blade. Tashigi's blood now covered the ground. "You will never have him…" Wynn hissed as she drew her blade out of Tashigi's body. Smoke formed around Wynn. She gasped as she turned to see Smoker holding her with his smoke arm.
"WENCH YOU WILL PAY!" Smoker shouted. Wynn laughed as she simply turned to air and escaped. She flew into the air.
"You know what I don't feel like messing with you…" she said darkly as lightning flashed around her. "Right now I CURSE your ships what ever ship you are on TO NEVER come after me or my crewmates AGAIN!" she shouted as more wind blew around Smoker binding him. Wynn floated back down to him and said slyly.
"Right now I could take your breath away…" she whispered. "It's called the breath of death… I'm quite sure you've heard of it in the old folklore legends…" Smoker's eyes widened as he remembered several myths about a wind goddess who had the power to give and take life when she wanted. The woman that stood before him was her. She glared at him and then took off again. She glided back to the ship and landed. Sanji ran up to meet her.
"Chelsea!" he cried out then he stopped. "W-Who are you?" he asked a little bit frightened as he looked upon her. Wynn smiled softly.
"I am not one to be trifled with… but you may call me Wynn and I have to go take care of something before they blow us up…"she said as she spread her large wings and took off for the crows nest. Wynn settled herself on top of the mast. She threw her arms out and the wind picked up around her. Slowly the ship started to rise off of the waters. Every one rushed outside to see what was going on.
"What's happening?!?" Nami cried out as she latched onto Sanji for support as the ship rocked a bit. Sanji looked up in awe as the ship rose higher and higher.
"She's getting us out of here…! She's FLYING US OUT OF HERE!" he cried out.
Below deck Zolo awoke to Sanji's shouting's, he got up slowly and went outside despite Choppers warnings.
"Your wounds will reopen!" the tiny reindeer shouted.
"I don't care!" Zolo shouted. Chopper became silent and Zolo left the room. Using the wall as a support he hobbled out onto the main deck.
"What's going on?" he asked Nami. She just pointed up towards the sea. Zolo's gaze followed and he saw that the Merry Go was air born. He looked up and saw Wynn atop the mast flying it.
Wynn's breathing became harder and harder as she tried to push herself for more leagues to distance them from Smoker. Her hair color slowly changed back to a dirty blonde and her six wings went back to two. Chelsea struggled to try to slowly stop the ship from hitting the water as they fell back down. She had no success, the ship hit the water with such a force that every one fell to the ground.
Zolo grunted in pain he looked up and saw Chelsea falling down towards the ground. He got up quickly and caught her just in time.
'Her breathing is very shallow…' he thought to himself. 'But… she saved me…' he clutched her tightly.
"Wake up… Chelsea wake up please…!" he whispered as he leaned down and put his forehead on hers tears lightly rolling down his cheeks. A single tear hit her cheek. She stirred lightly. She stared up at the crying swordsman; she put her hand up to his face. His eyes snapped open. He stared at her for a moment and then he grabbed her tightly and then he lost it crying uncontrollably.
"I thought I'd lost you again!" he whispered. Chelsea wrapped her arms around him.
"No Zolo… never again…" she looked up at him and she slowly shut her eyes and drifted to sleep. Zolo wiped up his tears and then he gathered her up in his arms and stood up. As he turned around he saw every one staring at him. He returned the gaze.
"Well what are you waiting for pretty please?!? GET HER SOME MEDICAL ATTENTION! She's been stabbed multiple times and is STILL bleeding!" he roared. Chopper came over and waved for him to get her to his room, Zolo followed.
When she was all bandaged up Zolo was allowed back in the room. He sat down on her bed and put his hand on hers. He leaned down and kissed her forehead.
"Get well soon…" he whispered as he left to go sleep in his own bed.
next day
Chelsea awoke before the suns first rays. She sat up slowly the door opened and she turned and saw Zolo enter.
"You—Your up!" he said shocked to see her awake after just one day of rest. Chelsea smiled.
"You should've seen me after I got my appendix taken out! I was walking in less than a day!" she giggled. "I would laugh more but Tashigi got my heart so I can't laugh that much…" She got out of bed and stretched.
"I'm hungry… what's for breakfast?" she said as she walked over to Zolo as if nothing was wrong with her. Zolo chuckled and smiled at the girl. She walked next to him and he grabbed her and hugged her tightly.
"Don't you EVER do anything like that again…" he told her fiercely. Chelsea blinked and then she hugged him back.
"I'm sorry…" she said to him. "To make it up you want to fly with me and watch the sun rise? We'll have to hurry though…" she said happily. Zolo smiled and he took her hand.
"Lead the way my angel…" he whispered. Chelsea blushed and then she took off and they flew down the halls and past the kitchens just as Sanji was coming out to tell every one that breakfast was ready. They zoomed past him and startled him.
"HEY WATCH IT!!!" Sanji yelled as he laughed. He looked up after them and realized he'd lost the bet, they were obviously crazy about each other to do what they did and they knew this too.
Chelsea and Zolo climbed higher and higher into the sky. They passed through the clouds and they floated over to one and sat down. His hand grasped hers tightly as to not repeat the last time they'd flown. Zolo looked at her.
"Chelsea… why—what made you so angry with Tashigi?" he asked her.
"She hurt you… and I couldn't take it… I lost it then…" she paused and looked up at him. "And I meant every thing that I said, I love you Zolo…" Zolo smiled at her.
"I know," he said to her, "I love you too." He said as he leaned down and kissed her. The sun started to rise as they finished.
"I always loved you Zolo…" Chelsea said as she hugged him. He hugged her back and kissed her again.
"I know chels… I know…I love you so much… when you were stabbed I felt so helpless… I couldn't help you… I love you…" Chelsea hugged him tighter as he said this.
"It's okay we're fine now…No more worrying… just us…alone on a cloud…" she said slowly she turned away blushing and she said quickly, "I don't want to I was just saying!" Zolo looked at her and he chuckled.
"I love you Chelsea your smile has always made me smile… you're so addicting…I love every thing about you." He paused as he kissed her. "Will you stay with me? Forever?" Chelsea looked up at him.
"Yes Zolo I will marry you." She laughed he placed his forehead on hers. "I'm sorry I was messing with you but yes…I do love you and I will stay with you for all eternity." She said and then her lips met his and the suns light shone brightly all a round them.
They flew back down to the ship and kept on holding hands to show every one that they were together. Zolo walked into the kitchen after he and Chelsea had parted.
"I believe that I owe you now?" a voice came from inside. Zolo looked up and saw Sanji staring at him. Zolo shook his head.
"Naw it's off now… though I could use a bite…" he smiled and went to the refrigerator. He picked up an apple and bit down into it and left. The cook chuckled as Zolo left and he went back to working on dinner.
Fin.
