Chapter 6:
An hour later there were three graves with Tousen, Yammy, and Stork written on them.
Everyone was mourning for a moment before looking to one another with nods that they had to hurry and save the planet.
"Come on everyone, we should head west and hope there is a ship at one of the Elven docks." Aizen said.
Everyone walked together, scared and quiet.
An hour later they were nearing the coast.
"It says on the map that if we continue this way we will reach the small dock, Tyras as it's called." Itachi said.
"Hey look, it's Sasori!" The white half of Zetsu said.
They noticed Sasori laying on the ground fixing himself up as best as he could.
"Sasori." Aizen said checking on him.
"We were ambushed-" Sasori began to say.
"We know, rest." Aizen said.
Kisame checked him for a moment before helping him up.
"Careful, got my legs to work but I still got cracks over the body." Sasori said.
"Are you able to walk?" Aizen asked.
"Yeah but I won't be able to fight until I repair the rest of my body, and I don't got no more tools to work with, and I know you guy's don't." Sasori said.
"Just stay behind us then if we get into a fight." Aizen told him.
They journeyed a half-mile until finally reaching the Tyras dock.
"Look, one ship left." Kisame said.
"Itachi, Kisame, inspect it for us please." Aizen said.
The two ran over to check the ship while everyone took a moment to catch their breath and have a drink of water.
Gin was in a shed looking around with Sasori.
"Here we go." Sasori said finding some equipment and continued to repair himself.
"At least she didn't get my heart box." Sasori said.
"Indeed." Gin said helping him.
"I thought Aizen killed her." Sasori said.
Gin said nothing and continued to help him.
"Ship's seaworthy." Itachi shouted to them from the ship.
"Everyone we are heading to that island in the distance." Aizen said.
"That's the Lost Grove Island." Sasori said.
"It houses Alexander." Gin said.
"I take it the sphere myth is real then." Sasori said.
"The planet is slowly falling apart now that Guthix is dead. Our only hope to save the planet is to find the Sphere." Konan said.
"Then let's hope it's still there." Sasori said.
Everyone boarded the ship and set sail to the island.
"I thought Karura was killed." Kisame asked.
Everyone looked at Aizen.
Aizen sighed.
"I couldn't kill her because she like me was an orphan and we traveled together with that man named Furido and his team. She is like family to me, like a sister." Aizen said.
"Yet look what she did!" Hidan yelled.
"I'm sorry okay! I didn't know she'd come back to attack!" Aizen yelled back.
"Why would she though." Kakuzu asked.
"Because she needed a way to the island and knew we'd be at the war. She followed our flight path perhaps." Sasori said.
"She killed our friends." Kisame said.
"I couldn't kill her, but now I know she is learning the new ability she acquired and it makes me wonder how she even acquired the Rinnegan in the first place. Her Rinnegan is different from yours Pain." Aizen said.
"Different how?" Pain asked.
"There is a tomoe in the Rinnegan that resembles the Sharingan. It's also a shade of red. She can freely summon it and de-summon it." Aizen said.
"You think she learned some ancient spell or something?" Chayd asked.
"It has been a year, she had time to research." Aizen said.
"What the hell are you doing on my ship!" A voice shouted walking from below deck.
Everyone turned their heads to see a rough-looking human male with a scar on the side of his face and a blind eye from that scared part of his face.
"Woah we are sorry!" Aizen said.
The man rose up a magitek rifle and aimed it at them.
"Really we are sorry, the planet is falling apart and we know a way to save it!" Aizen said with his arms up.
"Stealing a man's ship will make your world fall apart." The man said.
"What's your name?" Gin asked.
"Zaeed. Zaeed Massani." Zaeed said.
"Zaeed I am Lord Aizen of Varrock and these are my loyal servants slash friends." Aizen said.
"Called us servants first." Kisame mumbled.
"How much are you willing to pay me." Zaeed asked with his gun still aimed.
"Sir, the planet is falling apart and we need to save it. That is the payment." Konan said.
"Sorry lass but I was thinking something of gold." Zaeed said.
Konan walked up to him and grabbed his collar.
"Then I'm willing to make the deal that I don't make you a woman! You are going to let us use this ship!" Konan yelled.
Zaeed blinked and laughed.
"I like this one! Alright, mates, have a go but I command this vessel." Zaeed said walking up and pushing Itachi out of the way to steer the ship.
Aizen turned his head looking at the island as they were getting closer.
"We have to kill her." Jessica said to him.
"I won't do it, you all will have too." Aizen said.
"She killed our friends!" Jessica shouted.
Dengakuman jumped up and down.
"She is going to kill us all!" Dengakuman shouted.
"Dengakuman?" Zaeed asked.
Everyone cocked their eyebrows.
"You know him?" Pain asked.
"Aye, he was my first mate for a year!" Zaeed said.
"Daddy!" Dengakuman shouted jumping at him.
"Little Dengakuman you son of a bitch!" Zaeed shouted punching him right into the floor.
"Owie!" Dengakuman shouted.
"You worthless first mate! You disappeared on me at Port Sarim!" Zaeed shouted.
"I found these guys!" Dengakuman yelled.
Zaeed huffed and went back to steering.
Dengakuman huffed back and walked and jumped onto Konan sitting on her shoulder.
"Well, that explains that- back to the conversation we had." Jessica said.
"Too late we are at the dock here." Aizen said.
They got off the ship looking at the large mountains.
"The valley is on the otherside." Aizen said.
"Hey, I think I will join you, idiots. None of you look like you got a decent weapon." Zaeed said joining them.
"Very well we could use the help." Aizen said.
"What should we do?" Norman asked.
"I hate to ask this but you'll have to come with us." Aizen said.
"Very well but we will stay behind." Norman said.
"Oh, this is going to be fun dear, an island adventure of sorts." Beverly said.
Norman just mumbled.
Zangei, Chayd, and Dreekmy readied their crossbows.
"Ready." Dreekmy said.
Aizen looked at everyone with a nod and felt another earthquake.
"Alright everyone, let's move!" Aizen shouted.
Only one final story left... EPISODE IX, the Epilogue to the Rising Breakdown Sphere storyline.
