Chapter 28: Sands of the Night.
After that little race, the heroes and pirate reunite with their family and friends... when they saw that.
DANGANRONPA OST: -1-13- Buzzkill
Yang was fighting Nidai, Oogami and Owari in an epic battle, one of those who, in a video game, would be the final boss.
Owari: HURAHURAHURAHURAHURAHURAHURAHURA!
Yang: DADADADADADADADA!
Ruby "But what's going on?!"
Sonic: Yang! What do you think you do?
Nidai: Owari, you still fail the technique. You will never beat me if you fight like this!
Owari: Shut up, this time you're done!
Yang hits Nidai, although Oogami intercepted her.
Yang: Hey, don't mess around yet!
Oogami: That strength ... It is excellent, but insufficient. In addition, you are guided more by fury than calm down and see the situation.
Yang: Ha, we'll see about that, Ogre!
Oogami unleashes a powerful kick to Yang's stomach, while Nidai punches Owari, sending her against the blonde, leaving them KO.
Nidai: Well? Have you learned the lesson?!
Oogami: Yang-san, I hope this helps you to be stronger.
Empire City (Day) - Sonic Unleashed [OST]
Sonic: Is it possible to know what the hell you are doing?!
Luffy: How cool, now I want to fight myself!
Nidai: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Anytime, boy! We'll see what a pirate like you does.
Ruby: Please don't kill my sister!
Nidai: WHO SAID NOTHING TO KILL?!
Zack: Oh, Ruby. Here.
Ruby runs to her boyfriend, while he and the rest are watching the combat.
Robin: Ara, Sonic-kun. Are you already here?
Sonic: That doesn't matter now! Why haven't you stopped him?
Usopp: Hey, they wanted to train, so we thought nothing would happen.
Chopper: Besides, there is Nurse Tsumiki and me!
Tsumiki: G-Thanks, Chopper-san.
Weiss: Besides, let's not kid ourselves: they were going to do it anyway.
Togami: Really, they are animals.
Ruby: But it looked like you were going to kill yourself!
Owari: Ah... Ah... Well, since... you ask...
Blake: Wow, you're still alive.
Yang: These guys ... are incredibly ... strong. So, I had to fight ... with them ... at least once.
Ruby: You worried me a lot!
Yang: I ... I'm sorry, bee knees.
Ruby: And don't call me that!
Sonic: Well, let's eat a little and then continue, okay?
Sonic begins to eat Chili Dogs, while Weiss looks at him with a look of disgust.
Weiss: It's really gross.
Sonic: Hey, "princess", this food is what keeps me going, not to mention delicious!
Togami: Delicious? You won't be serious. It's just a grimy sausage...
Sonic offers each one.
Weiss: What do you think you do?
Sonic: Come on, couple. Give them a bite, if you are not afraid.
Togami: F-Fear?
Weiss: It's over, bring it here!
Weiss and Togami take the Chili Dogs and give them a bite.
Weiss: What, happy?! This has been...
Togami: This thing...
Zack: Hey, Byakuya?
Yang: Weiss, are you okay?
Sonic: Hehe. Three, two, one...
Weiss stands up and chants in a melodious voice:
Weiss: "It's the best thing I've ever eaten!"
RBY: WHAT ?!
Togami: How is it possible that such a commoner's meal is so good...
Sonic: What, not bad, right?
Weiss: Okay, let me give you this point.
Togami: Damn ... Heh, the one about things that can happen in a day...
Zack: "Thanks Sonic."
At night, in Shamar ...
Shamar (Night) - Sonic Unleashed [OST]
Sonic: Then we better talk to the Professor first. Later, Ruby, Zack ... You will be alone with Taiyang.
Yang: Good luck to both of you.
Hinata: We accompany you in feeling.
Devil Rose and Zack: We are not dead!
Blake: Not yet.
Maizono: The truth is that you are in trouble.
Zack: Sayaka, you don't help.
Devil Rose: Don't worry, I'm with you.
Devil Rose takes her boyfriend's hand and smiles at him.
Zack: I know.
Yang: I'm concerned about the reaction of Dad and Uncle Qrow.
Owari: And me, that Zack-kun gets out of control and has a mess.
Luffy: Not that the old blond man beat up Zack.
Everyone: This is going to end badly...
Devil Rose: Enough all of you right now! It's okay Zacky Honey, I'm sure my dad will understand.
Zack: Thank you my devil queen, wish me good luck.
Devil Rose: It's nothing, honey.
She hugs him sweetly and they kiss.
Yang: Man, you're going to need it; I doubt that dad is soft.
Zack: Really? So how come you haven't had a boyfriend since your little sister beat you?
Yang: I uh, I can have a boyfriend too.
Zack smirks as Yang blushes.
Zack: Oh yeah? With who, if isn´t a nuisance.
Yang: I uh, um ... well, I'm working on it!
Zack: Yeah do that, as long as we have time, my devil queen and I will enjoy reading comics together.
she smiles and kisses his cheek, while he smiles.
Devil Rose: "I love spending more time with him."
Blake: Hey, if you like each other so much, you two get a room.
Zack: The girl who read the ninja love said what?
Blake: What...?
When he realizes what Zack means, Blake turns redder and hotter than the sun. Zack laughs as he and Devil Rose head off to the lab
At the laboratory...
Taiyang: They should already be here.
Smoker: Calm down, please ... We are trying to save this world.
Taiyang: Right now, I'm concerned about my daughter, Vice Admiral Smoker!
Smoker: Tsk... You can see that two sisters are your daughters, without a doubt.
Qrow: Don't worry about him; It is always so.
Tashigi: This... There is something you should know...
Devil Rose: D-Dad...
Taiyang: Oh, Ruby. You are here already...
Both Taiyang and Qrow open their mouths surprised by Ruby's appearance. She enters accompanied by Zack.
Qrow: R-Ruby... is it really you?
Devil Rose: H-Hello. Yes, it's me.
Taiyang: And you're the one who has turned her into that, right?!
Zack: W-What?! O-Of course not!
Taiyang: And how do you explain her transformation?
Devil Rose: That was Sonic's thing... I-I didn't say anything!
Zack: "Shit."
Taiyang began to crack the knuckles and Qrow had his sword ready, when Zack intervenes.
Qrow: Huh?
Zack: Don't you think of doing something to Sonic-san, he was not to blame for anything!
Taiyang: What do you mean?
Zack and Devil Rose began to explain the situation to both hunters.
Qrow: So do you think that if you restore the planet, you can find a cure for Sonic and Ruby?
Devil Rose: Aha.
Taiyang: And you, what do you paint in all this?
Zack: Father told me that this world had problems, so he asked me to investigate it.
Taiyang: "Father"?
Smoker: Wait a minute, I know you... You are the captain of the 7th Division of the Dragon King Pirates. "The Demon King", Zackery Masayoshi Orion!
Qrow: Are you a pirate?!
Zack: So you know my name, Vice Admiral.
Smoker: Of course, any marine has heard of the pirate gang that could with Gold Roger and Whitebeard.
Taiyang: You...!
At that moment, Zack kneels before Taiyang.
Taiyang: Huh?
Zack: Please let me be Ruby's boyfriend!
Devil Rose: Zack...
Zack: I know I am a pirate, but my Father is not a monster or a bad man. In fact, he is the reason that I am alive today.
Qrow: Really? And why should we trust you?
Zack: I saved the lives of Ruby and Yang in Chun-nan.
Taiyang: What, really?
Zack: The enemy that attacked them was incredibly skilful, too much for them to do something to him. Since then, I knew that she and the others would need help, so I decided to follow them in the distance.
Taiyang: So you followed them... At two!
Zack: N-N-N-No the way you t-t-t-t-think, I-I-I-I-assure you! I did it just so they were safe. And he could not intervene in the combats against the guardians or those of the temples; those were tests designed for them.
Taiyang: Mmm... Okay, I believe you.
Zack: The truth is that Ruby is heaven, I would never dream of hurting her. Believe me, she is the most important thing for me, besides my Father and my family.
Taiyang: Very well, you can go out with my daughter.
Zack: Really?!
Qrow: Hah, you really do have the courage to talk to this guy, but you don't strike me as a bad boy. You also helped my nieces, so I owe you one.
Devil Rose: Dad ... Uncle Qrow ... Thank you very much!
Smoker: Sure, to be expected from the Dragon King Pirates.
One Piece Ost - Justice
Smoker: The Dragon King Pirates are from another world, many of their members are even stranger than the Grand Line himself, and their strength, their technique... rival that of Sengoku, the former Fleet Admiral. It is their leader, Dragon Fist, the most dangerous.
Devil Rose stands next to Zack, while the Hunters listen expectantly.
Smoker: He is a born leader, with supernatural strength, capable of adapting to any situation, no matter how impossible or absurd it may be. One of his most amazing qualities is his ability to reach people's hearts, causing them to follow him unconditionally. Although, this could well be due to his moral sense.
Qrow: What do you mean?
Smoker: Dragon Fist is not one of those who abandon those who need it; it is a kind of pirate hero who fights against all the evil he sees. Thanks to him, many places are more peaceful. Furthermore, he respects all the enemies with whom he has fought as equals. And he has never killed anyone.
Devil Rose: Wow, really?
Smoker: His moral standards prevent him from killing anyone, even if his enemy was the worst of criminals.
Zack: That's right. This is my father.
Then in the entry phase...
Yang: I hope those two are fine...
Sonic: Calm down, Yang. Do you really think that they will do so badly?
Weiss: You don't know.
Nami: Come on, you are worrying about nothing.
Suddenly, they see the lovers, while Zack is eating some nice root beer cookies and it was a lot in the bag, thanks to Ruby.
Yang: It just a stupid root beer, nothing special.
Nidai: Not again…
Zack growls and points his hand at Yang and raises it to the sky, also demonstrating that he has Silver's powers.
Sonic: "Even the power of Silver? How many abilities and powers he can use?!"
Zack: Stupid? STUPID?! Never disrespect what I enjoy, and don't think I didn't forget the ruin of my root beer keg. I'll save you for later when you fuck with me, but... as my sister-in-law I set you free but watch your tone and action carefully with me... so never call my root beer stupid or I'll nickname you Goldie Lock ... Black and Blue Lock, understood?
Yang: Y-yes, Your Demonic Majesty! Sorry and I'll buy you another barrel of root beer later when we finish this mission.
Zack: Hahahahaha, thanks Yang.
Devil Rose: Yang, don't be rude to him.
Yang: Sorry, sis.
Devil Rose: And Zack, don't be mad like that.
Zack: Sorry.
DN Luffy: Oh Ruby, Zack! You are both fine!
Zack: No thanks to YOU.
Devil Rose: Lucky that Dad has liked Zack, otherwise ... He would have cut off your head.
DN Luffy: LS-Sorry.
Blake: Guys, let's go to town, I've heard there are "ghosts attacking black monsters".
Weiss and Nami: G-g-g-g-g-g... GHOSTS?
Kirigiri: Both of you calm down. Ghosts don't exist, take it easy.
Nami: W-Of course I do!
Arid Sands (Night) - Sonic Unleashed [OST]
Our heroes enter the town when they see a kind of black magician.
DN Luffy: I'll take care of him!
DN Luffy hits him, but this monster burns his hand.
Devil Rose: Luffy!
DN Luffy: Ayayayayay! Burn, burn, burn!
Sonic: Wait I have an idea.
Sonic grabs one of the water barrels and throws it at the witcher, turning him off.
DN Luffy: Damn, I won't let you use Ace and Sabo's power however you want! Gomu Gomu no ... Pistol!
Nami: Think before you attack!
Zoro: Damn idiot...
Tails: This enemy is new.
Weiss: And he seemed smarter than the others.
Blake: Now that I've seen it up close, it looks like the warlocks we've seen in Chun-nan and Holoska.
Pyrrha: That is true ... Eh? What is that?
Jaune spots a white being with a smile and tongue sticking out. It goes through her and then she falls to her knees.
Jaune: I am useless, as a leader and friend... I want to die...
Pyrrha: Jaune, what's wrong?!
Nora: What the hell is going on?!
Nora also goes through one of those things.
Nora: I'm useless... In the next life, I want to be an oyster...
Yang: Is Nora sad?! Incredible…
Ren: Those things are dangerous...
Weiss: Hah, that happens to you because you don't focus on what's important...
Togami: For once I am with her. You have a weak will.
Zoro: It's always the same with these people.
Then all three suffer the attack of the ghosts.
The three: I wish I hadn't been born...
Blake: Enough you three!
?: Hororororo. You are pathetic, all of you!
Right away they see a woman with a "Gothic Lolita" style, with black, white and bright red as colors in her outfit. Her long pink hair is worn in two ponytails with flower-shaped clips. He also wears a red crown with a cross. Her tights completely cover her long legs and she wears a miniskirt to match. She also wears a red umbrella.
DN Luffy: Ah, you! ... Who are you?
Nami: You're the girl from Thriller Bark!
?: I have a name, you know! My name is Perona!
Zoro: You ... are you in this too?
Perona: Horororo. I see that this time you are not as lost as ever.
Zoro: Ngh...!
Sonic: Do you know her?
Brook: Oh, it's the lady who was in Moria's service.
Suddenly Perona sees Zack and hearts come out of her eyes.
Perona: Hi, handsome.
WA Zack: Huh? And what happens to you?
Perona: You have the same presence as Moria-sama...
Owari: Oh my... Ruby, you're not jealous are you?
Devil Rose had red eyes and is enveloped in a dark presence.
Devil Rose: "Who does she think she is trying to flirt and steal my man?!"
WA Zack: I'm sorry but I'm not interested in you. I'm a man of only one woman.
Perona: Who, the emo with the scythe?
Yang: What did you say about my sister?!
Perona: You heard me, bimbo!
Perona throws a ghost at her, who falls to the ground depressed.
Yang: Even my mother has abandoned me... I want to commit suicide...
Perona: Hororororo! I am a user of Horo-Horo no Mi; I can create ghosts that make people's hearts fall before me.
Devil Rose: How depressing my sister and trying to steal the person I'm in love with, huh?
Perona turns and sees the closest thing to evil: a raging Devil Rose.
Perona: H-H-Hey, don't mess with me.
Devil Rose activates her mind control, causing the ghost girl to collapse before her.
Perona (hypnotized): At your command, goshujinsama.
Hinata: She's scary.
Naegi: Right, it's better not to make her angry.
Devil Rose: Did you say something?
Both: Nothing at all.
WA Zack: Ruby... I never…
Devil Rose: It's okay, my dear Zacky, that snake won't bother you again.
WA Zack: Aren't you mad at me?
Devil Rose: Oh silly. Why would I get mad? I know you are not unfaithful.
WA Zack: Ruby...
Devil Rose kisses WA Zack on the cheek and turns to Perona.
Devil Rose: You're already taking time to explain to us what you do in this world.
Perona (hypnotized): Yes, goshujinsama. On Moria-sama's orders, I am in this city. We were supposed to meet here, but he decided to attack Empire City first.
Devil Rose: Hmm ... I should kill you for trying to steal my man, but out of respect for my brother Luffy, I'll let you live.
Perona (Mesmerized): Your generosity is not worthy of someone like me, Goshujinsama.
Sonic: Anyway, let's go to the temple and quickly, I don't like something.
In the buildings you can see Crocodile, smiling.
Crocodile: Interesting. Kujajajajaja!
To be continue...
