-Rose's POV-
Now the crew was getting REALLY worried. It had been a week since Godell was gone. "Ohh, I'm on the verge of cracking here!" I said clutching my arms. (For backround music, Giving In by Linkin Park would be looping…)
"Me to… I wonder where she is?" Tanisha asked no one in particular, standing next to me randomly staring at the night sky.
"Dead." Angie blurted out. "Ohhhh…" I groaned, letting my head fall into my arms, that were resting on the railing. "Ange! Cut it out!" Tanisha said, poking Angie in the belly. "Oww!" The two ended up in a catfight.. Err, moogle-bunny fight… "FOAMY RULES ALL AND HE OWNS YER ASSES!" Angie shouted. I couldn't help but laugh.
I felt a bit better, but something had kept filling my mind with sadness. Suddenly Tanisha and Angie disappeared. "Huh? …Tanisha probably went to stalk Zoro, and Angie probably went to get Luffy…" I sighed. I leaned back on the railing and looked up at the stars.
I sighed. "It's too peaceful… I can't relax at all…" I said. Suddenly, a Shuriken landed on the railing just inches away from where I was standing. "Huh!" I whipped around, standing on the sail was the Shinobi again! "SHINOBI!" I screamed.
The others came running out with their weapons, or what they had for attack.
"No! GUYS!" it was too late, the Shinobi had thrown a wave of Senbon Thread with Kunai attached at them. "Shattered Heart!" A red wave of energy shot in front of them and struck the Kunai Senbon away.
The Shinobi jumped from the sail and landed on her threads for extra jump. "OniGiri!" "ThunderBolt Tempest!" "Led Star!" "Six Floret!" "Rumble Ball!" "Frog leg Kick!" "Blizzara!" "Baton Wave!" "Gomu Gomu-" "No!" I cut them off. "If you attack her she just does twice the damage!" I warned them.
"I haven't come to fight the Straw Hat Crew…" The Shinobi said, jumping from her threads. "I have come to fight Rose." She said menacingly. She took out six Kunai for a roll-out formation. That voice.. It sounds almost like Godell's! I thought. She looked towards the crew. "Though I will need you out of the way…" She whipped the Senbon Thread Kunai at the crew, they had no way out.
"Red Barrier!" I summoned, creating the same barrier I did before with my Ruby Heart Staff. The Senbon Thread Kunai bounced off and fell. "!" The crew's eyes widened. They watched the fighting scene that was about to start, Sanji was most intent on it.
"Oh, and by they way," The Shinobi started, "My name's Godaru, remember it well." She said. I winced. "You wanna fight? Ley's fight." I said, a sense of darkness filled my mind, when I tried to transform, my costume was different; I was wearing a black leather tight-shirt, the front was open revealing a dark red leather top, I was also wearing a black silk Obi (y'know, the lower half of the Kimonos?), and black leather shorts underneath, and a pair of black Sparring shoes. My hair had also gotten shorter, like Aeon Flux Short, and black.
My Ruby Heart changed color, it turned Onyx with a dark red core. "Onyx Heart!" I shouted at the will of my alter. We took our battle positions and faced each other. "Ready." Godaru said. "I don't get how you can fight with that blindfold on, but whatever works," There was an ominous pause, the crew was watching, Sanji was watching me intently.

(WARNING: VIOLENCE AND BLOOD DURING FIGHT)
"Go!" They started the fight. Godaru jumped up in a flash and whipped more of her Senbon Thread Kunai Rose. "Ku!" Rose jumped out of the way and shot a black beam at Godaru. Rose flipped her Staff and it morphed into a smaller Relic-like version of what looked like Mint from Tokyo Mew Mew's Echo Relic.
"Release! Shattered Heart!" Rose shouted, shooting black bolts at Godaru. She missed. "Dammit!" Rose stood ready, scanning her surroundings for Godaru. "Back here!" Rose whipped around, Godaru was falling straight at her with a Kunai ready to stab.
"Ku! Distro Veer!" Rose quickly dodged to the side and crouched, as soon as Godaru was in range, Rose flipped around and whipped her foot into Godaru's back, slamming her into the ground. "Gyaah!" Godaru grabbed Rose's leg and threw her towards the railing.
Rose's quick reflexes allowed her to regain balance and land on the railing on her feet. "I'm not so easy! Cross Flip!" Rose vanished in a black blur and reappeared high above the crows nest, her arms stiff out to the side and her legs together straight so she was in the shape of a Cross she was falling headfirst in Godaru's direction.
"Amethyst Kick!" Rose flipped herself over, heading into a lethal kick. Godaru's eyes widened and she jumped out of the way at the last second. Rose ended up smashing into the ship, leaving a remarkable 3 x 3 crater in the ship's floor-boards. Godaru whipped out more Kunai, Rose jumped off her right hand and landed on her feet, ready to defend.
"Whoa, what a kick…" Sanji blinked in awe. "She could be better than you, Sanji." Zoro commented. "Shut up, this isn't the time!" Sanji shot back.
Godaru whipped her Kunai at Rose, who held up her arms and blocked them, she didn't know that the REAL Godaru was behind her and kicked her into the railing. "Hah!" Rose's eye's widened, she grabbed the railing, performing a brief handstand before jumping back to her original position.
Godaru came at her again with a Demon Wind Shuriken. "Go! Kyuubi Katon Shuriken!" She shouted, whipping a flaming demon Shuriken at Rose. Rose raised her Onyx Heartstone Relic. "Onyx Summon; Holy!" Ruji shot a blast of light at the Shuriken.
The Shuriken and the Onyx Holy collided and blew up, creating a temporary smokescreen. "Urgh, shit!" Rose cursed. The smoke cleared, she couldn't see where Godaru went. "Huh.? Eh? WHAT!" Rose whipped around and saw Godaru reach out and grab her by the throat. "Hrgh!" Rose struggled.
"Oh no!" Chopper squeaked. "She's done for!" Usopp panicked. Nami watched, speechless. "How'd she get over there!" Zoro shouted. "Rose-chan! Hey! Don't give up!" Tanisha cheered.
Rose managed to swing up and kick Godaru in the stomach, it gave her a chance to get her air back and think of something. The two had a short stare down before attacking again.
The battle raged on for 20 minutes, the two girls landed back on their feet. Rose was a bit beat up, exhausted, and had a little blood on her face from a blow to the head. Godaru, however, didn't have a scratch on her. Godaru crouched, seeming to know Rose's next move…
Rose charged at Godaru, who whipped out more Kunai at her. Rose jumped and attempted to drop-kick Godaru. Godaru veered to the side and grabbed Rose's leg, then threw her into the mast.
"AUGH!" Rose coughed up a bit of blood from the sudden rapid release of air from her weakened lungs. Sanji's eyes widened, "ROSE-SAN!" He shouted out of protective instinct. Rose fell to the ground. "U-Ugh… Cough…" A bit of blood dripped on the ship's floorboards.
"Y-You little bitch… Cough…" Rose smirked through the blood on her mouth. Godaru winced. "Just- Just who are you anyways…?" Rose asked weakly. Godaru just kept her emotionless face. Rose grabbed a nearby Kunai and threw it up at Godaru, slicing off her bandana and blind fold.
Fox Ears popped up, and a Fox Tail unraveled from the Obi of Godaru's Kimono. Rose saw her orange eyes, with the black irises. She knew who this Shinobi was… "Godell…!" Rose snapped weakly. "Ah!" The crew was shocked.
Godaru winced and picked up her blind fold and bandana. "Godell… Is gone. I'm her alter, Godaru, brought out by Captain Django." She explained. "Godell, come back…" Rose said. Godaru turned, "I'm not Godell!" She shouted. "I have defeated you, my work here is done… for now." She said before jumping into the moonlight and disappearing.
"That can't be Godell!" Nami snapped. "She said 'Godell is gone, I am her Alter'. Alter… She's right. That's not Godell, it's her alter spirit. Django must've brought it out with his hypnotism." Robin explained. "Rose-chan is badly hurt!" Chopper said trying to get out of the barrier. "Oh-noes!" Angie and Tanisha shouted, clinging to each other.
"Ugh…" And with that, Rose blacked out. The Force field disappeared. "Rose-San!" Sanji rushed to her side to help her, as did Chopper being a doctor and all. "Get her to the recovery room, NOW!" Chopper said frantically. Sanji picked her up as gently as he could so as not to hurt her if she had any broken bones.
Sanji brought her to the Recovery room on the ship, the others followed closely behind. He set her down on the hospital bed and let Chopper handle her wounds. "…Uh-Oh.. This isn't good," Chopper started, "She's got two broken ribs, damaged lungs, a large gash in her arm, a serious head injury and a stab wound in her back." He said. The others gasped.
"Whoa, can you help her?" Nami inquired. "WAAAAHHHH!" Tanisha and Angie were clinging to each other bawling. "Oh no! That doesn't sound good…" Usopp said. Robin was researching Alters, Zoro shook his head. "How she was able to survive I'll never know…" "OH NO OUR CREWMATE'S BADLY HURT!" Luffy shouted.
Sanji's eyes widened. "Is.. Is she gonna make it?" He through slight chokes. Chopper looked away from the crew. "It's… a slim chance…" He said sadly. "WAAAHHHH NOOO!" Luffy Tanisha and Angie wailed, clinging to each other.
"All of you OUT! I need to fix her and I can't do it with people hanging over me!" Chopper ordered. The other crew obediently left the room, except for Sanji who hesitated a bit, then left. Chopper began to fix Rose up.
Rose: Ohhh CLIFFY! Will I Live? Will I Die? Ahh, the suspe4nse is killing you! X3
Godell: WOW! I'm EVIL in this one! -ish scared-
