What's going on all around
Penelope's Time!!(POV)
"Who are you?" said Aiva looking at Penelope curiously yet coldly.
"Hahahaha, nice one Aiva, come on, eat!" you said waving a piece of bread in her face. She just stared at you strangely and then got up.
"Sorry, but I have to go," Aiva started to leave but Zoro grabbed her hand.
"Aiva, you okay?" he looked sincerely into her eyes but she just looked confused. Now the rest of the crew wondered what was going on and looked up from their eating.
"Umm…sorry but I should be going now." Aiva tried to move but Zoro still held onto her hand.
"Aiva?"
Aiva turned to look at him again and her eyes flashed a tiny amount of green in it. As it did a plate from the table moved up and clattered down.
"Please let go!"
"Aiva! Come on!" Penelope looked at Dacer and Tamaki for help.
"Ummm…I think I know what is going on, but you have to clear it with his majesty." This caught everyone, including Aiva's, attention.
"We will explain everything there; if you need help he is always the one to go to." Said Dacer.
"Okay, can we go now?" asked Nami.
"Yes, if you follow me." Everyone got out of their seats, with Luffy taking some of the meat, and followed Tamaki and Dacer out of the restaurant. Aiva followed to though behind everyone and was looking at everything with hard eyes. (What's wrong with her?)
After a while and going through several tunnels to go to each dome a large building with designs started to show, and then finally they were in front of it. The building was tall and large, though it was made from the stone everyone else had, there were blue swirls on it front and leading to the sides, symbolizing waves. Everyone was looking around in wonder at the magnificent. There were two long flags down the side of the entrance that was an aqua color. Soon they were inside it and were walking forward.
"This place is the king's palace?" said Robin looking around.
"Nice architecture." Said Franky lifting his sunglasses and looking around as they walked more into the building. Ace's arm was around you and you looked to Aiva and saw that she was looking around, though not a smile came to her face.
"Aiva…" you whispered and she looked at you but you just turned away. (How could she forget us? Amnesia from the water?)
"This is not the Kings palace; he has died years ago. But the queen is still there, and her son the prince may be there to help you also." Said Tamaki looking back for a moment and then going forward. Finally an opening started to come towards them as they moved closer. They went through and were in a large room.
"Whoa, this is like the, Egyptians, except underwater style!" said Kenn excitedly.
"Who are the Egyptians?" asked Chopper.
"Oh, it was just something I learned in my world," he replied.
"Oooooooo," Everyone was looking at the design on the ceiling and walls and didn't notice Dacer and Tamaki bow.
"Eh, why are you guys bowing?" said Luffy. Then they saw three chairs in front of them. The chair on the right was big and had a woman with a light blue dress on with long wavy light blue hair. The one in the middle was the biggest but had no one in it (Why is it empty?) and the one on the far left had a man with blue hair and eyes, his hair short and he was wearing a white long jacket with a large staff next to him.
"Hello, prince, your majesty." Said Dacer. Then he and Tamaki got up and looked at the people in front of them.
"These are outsiders who have just come here; they would like to know more about here and their friend's illness." Aiva just glared at Tamaki and then they all looked up at who was the prince and queen.
"You would like to know more about Salira?" said the queen looking at them. "Yes your majesty!" yelled Sanji with pumping hearts in his eyes. She just smiled and looked at them curiously.
"Well, what do you need to know?" she said.
"Why…do all the people here have blue hair?" asked Nami.
"Well, it is because of our water goddess, Selene." When you heard this it gave to a bit of a jolt. (Water goddess?)
"When the first people came to live here, Selene was kind and helped us build these here for us. She has graced us and then one day she said she had to leave, and before she did, she said; "as a memento of myself, here is something that'll give you in remembrance that I have helped." Selene then touched all of the villager's heads and with that their hair turned blue. And so forth, it has been like that." The queen stopped telling them the story and looked at their reactions. But they were all looking at Penelope.
"Umm...yea, so did the goddess ever come back?" she said looking at the queen. "No, why do you ask?" she looked at you curiously. You knew you somehow remembered this place but didn't think that you were a goddess.
"Well, you see, I can control water…" for evidence you took the water from the water in the fountain nearby and swirled it in the air above you and then held it above your hand in a ball.
"You…you…your Selene?!" said the prince now getting up from his seat.
"Well, not exactly but…"
"Please, we are in need of your help!" the prince got down on one knee and held his hands together.
"prince…" whispered Tamaki and Dacer.
"We have been attacked numerous times! We even had to close one of your domes because it had filled with so much water no one could live in there," he was talking while he helps up his hands.
"Wait, who's attacking you?" said Luffy with a serious face. The prince looked up and sighed, sitting back in his seat and putting his hand to his forehead.
"You may believe me, you may not, but one of our own people is attacking us. His name was Talas. He was the murder of my father."
"Your father was murdered?" said Robin intently.
"Yes, it was because Talas wanted control over this kingdom. But it didn't work because I had protected my mother from him killing her also." They saw the queen look down and smile wearily.
"As soon as I found him, he escaped from the palace and left the city taking an underwater sub with him."
"What's an underwater sub?" said Zoro looking at him.
"It is a ship that can sail under the seas instead of on it. After he was exiled we haven't heard of him since, but then a couple of months ago…the animals started attacking."
"Animals?" said Chopper curiously.
"Yes, I do not know how, but Talas has somehow gained the ability to use the animals to attack us. And by doing so he is ruining our kingdom. The only way we could stop him is to give the throne to him, but if we do, we know our citizens will have darkness fall around then creating chaos in our villages!" The prince hand his eyes covered by his hands and then looked at you again.
"Please, please, save us from this nightmare we go through! Every time it's something new he has come up with and the whirlpools has only recently started which have made us lose many of our messengers. Please!" the prince was done on his knee's again. They looked at the queen went over to her son and tried to comfort him.
"Yosh! Everyone! We will help you get rid of that jerk that's been terrorizing the people here. They are too nice to be killed by a man like that!" said Luffy seriously and proudly at the same time. The prince and queen looked up at Luffy and saw that the rest of the crew was standing proudly too, except Aiva. Whose eyes kept darting back and forth in the room.
"Thank you for your kindness! We will give you food and rest here also for your help. Our armies will also help with the battle. So if you need anything, please just ask!" said the prince getting back into his seat and as the queen did also.
"Actually, we do need some help." Said Kenn to the prince and queen.
"We have a friend and she's been with us a long time. But somehow, she has forgotten about everything," said Kenn looking at Aiva who he just stared at blankly. The prince came down from where he was at and went over to Aiva. Zoro saw as he went closer to Aiva. They stared at each other for a moment, the prince wondered why she was giving a cold look. Then he saw a small flash of green in her eyes.
"Hu-" he was cut off and was pushed by a huge force to the other side of the room.
"But before he crashed into the wall, Kenn thrusted his air behind him to stop him.
"Aiva!" yelled Zoro and he went over to her. She looked at him and she still had a cold look in her eyes, but she didn't do anything.
"Prince!" yelled Tamaki and Dacer as they rushed over to him.
"You, three, have an elemental power?" said the prince rubbing his eyes. Tamaki and Dacer helped him up and he looked back at Kenn.
"Yea, I have air, Penelope water, Ace fire, and Aiva earth." He said.
"Then…It seems you haven't gone under their merge period yet."
"Merge?" asked Robin walking a bit closer to the Prince.
"I see that the one in the hat has already merged with his, but you other three, it seems you haven't" The prince stood up and started walking towards Aiva but still stayed far off so he can see the whole crew.
"In our history, with the water goddess, people with the elemental powers have two personalities. Their own and their spirits power." Everyone looked at him wondering what he was saying and Aiva just smiled.
"It seems as you earth one, Aiva, has been having problems with he spirit. More like her spirit wants to control her. You must get to the merging stage soon. We will have it prepared in a couple of minutes." The prince yelled something to the side, and two men that were standing there went through another door.
"Wait, so you mean we aren't in control of our powers?" said Kenn confusingly.
"Well, your person could've let some of it out for you to try, but when you merge with them, your power becomes immensely great!" said the Prince.
"Umm, prince, may we call you by your name?" said Nami smiling shyly.
"Oh, yes, I am Prince Calix, and this is my mother Seronepha." He pointed to his mother who was now coming down the steps.
"Sire, the preparations are complete," said a man coming through the door.
"Thank you," he looked at the crew and smiled. "Now, let us go to the other room, yes?" he said as he walked off with the others following him. They went through a small light hallway with the prince and queen in front and the two men in the back. Zoro could somehow feel tension coming off of Aiva, but they just kept going. Soon they left the hallway and entered another grand room, though this room was now outside. There was a small spring a top a hill and couple of circles on the stone ground outlined by blue.
"This building is very…interesting," said Franky looking around. Everyone got out and saw how pretty the landscape was from there.
