Chapter Nine- From Bad To Worse
It started when an alien device did what it did and stuck itself upon his wrist with secrets that it hid, Now he's got super powers he's no ordinary kid He's Ben 10... Ben.. 10. Umm hi. So last we saw of our hero he was running off towards Alubarna with Potsun and a stranger leading the way. What horrible disaster has struck Alabasta's capital city that has them running into the desert to get more help? Hopefully Oliver is up for the challenge that is in his near future.
The sun was hot, the air was dry and the sand burnt his feet through his shoes. This was when Oliver realised He needed to invest into some suitable clothing, before he ends up becoming a shrivelled raisin in this sun.
He had been given a clean shirt and pants by Potsun, which he gives to any patients he gets out here. When Oliver rocked up in the desert all he had on was a pair of tight shorts.
which were pretty much rendered useless by that giant purple lizard thing when it attacked him. Which Potsun ended up explained to be a Sandora Lizard,they inhabit some parts of the desert in Alabasta and are extremely dangerous.
Potsun had wanted to give him one of the long dress like cloaks that he in his hut, but Oliver declined the offer not wanting to look like he was wearing a bath robe... he regretted his decision now. He could already feel his skin burning again. It didn't help that his wound was still healing and was wrapped up tight, making it harder for Oliver to and bend over or use his left leg properly, plus his back ached with every step.
"Potsun! How much longer till we reach Alubarna? This sun is killing me!" Oliver called out and he tried to catch up with the two locals, who were making much better time then Oliver.
Even with their big cloaks on. Oliver was definitely regretting his fashion choice again.
"Just over this hill lad, then Alubarna will be in sight!" Potsun yelled back, not slowing down for Oliver. He was trying to get to the city and help as fast as possible. The need to help his islands capital was strong after learning what was happening.
"Are you you sure you want to go into this boy? You might get hurt?" The stranger who Oliver earlier found out was called Holtan, he was a shop keeper in Alubarna who managed to get away and get Potsun.
"Yes I'm sure, I probably won't be fighting but I can help Potsun treat the wounded" Oliver replied, "and why does everyone call me lad or boy? I'm fifteen you know!" Oliver shouted at them , he was rather ticked at being called a child all the time by those around him.
"Be quiet lad we are nearly there now" Potsun replied, ignoring Oliver's groan of frustration at being called lad again he continued. "If your gonna help me then you do as I say and no messing around, you got it?"
"Yes Potsun Sir!" Oliver replied doing a mocked salute,"It's gonna be a long day..." Potsun mumbled quietly.
They learnt earlier that Pirates were attacking the capital city, and not weak ones either. The royal guards were having trouble defeating them as they have taken hostages and had started shooting random people on the streets. That's what Potsun is needed for, to help the medical team treat the ever growing wounded.
"The pirates are called the Subsea Pirate Gang" the Holtan suddenly spoke up, "their captain has a 60,000,000 beri bounty and is called Snappy Simon" he said with all seriousness. "Hahaha Snappy Simon, what a name hahaha" Oliver giggled. "You boy better not be laughing, he has killed many and is shooting us the capital... this is a serious matter".
"Oh...sorry Holtan, but you have to admit. Snappy Simon is a stupid name for a pirate" Holtan merely ignored Oliver as Alubarna was in site. The capitals gates which Oliver could imagine standing great and tall, were blown open and smoke could be seen rising from with in the city.
"Quick we must hurry and help the wounded!" Holtan ran forward and through the broken gate, Potsun and Oliver close behind. They ran through the empty streets until they came upon the town square, it looked like that battle happened when the city was having a market day. Stalls were scattered everywhere, most destroyed with their produce or products littered everywhere.
The pirates were standing at the base of the palace while the royal guard were at the entrance making sure they didn't enter. Potsun, Holtan and Oliver hid behind a wall out of site while they watched the stand still proceed.
Oliver felt ill, watching the scene play out there was bodies of different people all over the place. Some were pirates some royal guard but regrettably some were the innocents caught in the cross fire.
This was the first time Oliver had seen a dead body, it was sickening to know that it wasn't old age or accidents that killed these people, it was stone cold murder. It made Oliver sick to his stomach. "Oh no, they still have hostages this is bad" Holtan whispered to the group.
Oliver look over at the pirates more closely, 'they probably never heard of a shower before most are covered in dirt and grim.. is that slim?' Oliver thought as he looked at the pirate gang in disgust. "For being the subsea gang they probably never even touched water" Oliver whispered, Holtan and Potsun ignored Him as they looked on in worry.
They had a total of five hostages that Oliver could see, two women, two men and one small boy. They all had knifes to their throats. The women were crying softly, and the boy had snot and tears going down his face. The men stood stoic and strong as if they had faith that the royal guard will save them. One of the Pirates with a big beard with many braids in it (it reminded Oliver a lot of Vikings) stepped forward. What Oliver found interesting was that he had his hand behind his back hiding something from view, which must be easy for him, because if Oliver didn't know he was a pirate then he could of easily confused him with a boulder.
"Give me the kingdoms jewels! And we will let them go! If not we will kill them! You know we will" The pirate yelled waving one meaty fist around indicating the hostages and the mass amount of dead bodies surrounding him. "For extra incentive! " he continued to yell, rubbing his hand through his beard. "We have captured this small wannabe hero Hahahahaha!" from behind his back he pulled out a small girl with bright blue hair, she looked around twelve years old and she looked very scared.
"Vivi!"Holtan and Potsun whisper yelled, while up in the palace yells of the same name echoed down into the square. "No they have the princess this is bad!"Potsun exclaimed, he looked very upset that they had her. "She's the princess? Well shit just hit the fan" Oliver muttered.
"Vivi I told you to stay inside!" A voice from the palace yelled down, "I'm sorry Pell! I thought I could help!" the young girl yelled back 'WACK'.
The sound of the pirates fist hitting the back of Vivi's head echoed through the empty streets, as everyone watched on in horror as she fell to the concrete floor of the square. "I told you not to speak little girl!" The pirate yelled at the princess, who was slowly picking herself off the ground. People up at the palace where not taking Vivi getting hit very well, "Fine! You shall have our jewels, let's us make the trade. You hand us the princess and the hostages, then we will give you the jewels" a commanding voice yelled down to them.
"Hahaha! You think I'm stupid, as soon as that happens and we don't have hostages then you will attack us, we aren't giving back the princess till we are out of this country hahahaha!" The big bearded man said "And you better make it snappy!" the bearded pirate yelled while snapping his fingers.
"Ohhhhh... he is Snappy Simon" Oliver muttered receiving glares from Potsun and Holtan.
