The cloud in the sky casted a dazed gaze in Iolan's eyes, as hunger consumed him to drooling and possible faint. Beside him, Aimez was busy eating honey noodles with chopsticks. After the two's argument over the last cup of noodles they had left, Iolan had lost and well, you know the rest. He cringed at the sound of Aimez slurping a strand of noodle in his mouth.
"You know this wouldn't happen if you'd had shared. But noooo." said Aimez and placed his empty cup between his legs. The two had blank expressions and continued to secretly stare each other down, wondering which one would give up. "This is so childish, I don't have time for this."
Aimez dug in his bag and pulled out a sheet of paper with goals written on it. He checked a small box off with next it that said 'Beat Iolan in an argument on your fist adventure'. "Check." he grinned, but frowned once he ran over the next box. "We need to find an island, or even civilization."
"Your telling me. I feel like I'm gonna die of hunger!" Iolan complained. "Die of hunger!" he than repeated, Aimez rolled his eyes. "What kind of island do you think we'll come across?"
"One full of food, shelter, boats that are being selled and hopefully, Ladybugs. Maybe." Aimez replied. Aimez had a thing for Ladybugs, not intimating but interesting. Iolan than threw a coin up and it landed on the back of his hands. Aimez raised an eyebrow.
"Heads I look around for a boat on the next island or tails, I stay here and you check out the place instead." Iolan said. He smirked when Aimez nodded and there the coin up. Then, it slapped the back of his hand and he turned it over to reveal heads. "Yes! In your face, I get to do an adventure." he gloated.
Aimez sighed and his face fell to his hands. After a few seconds of listening to Iolan's gloating, he raised his head to speak. "If your gonna find us a boat, it has to be big and able to fit more people for later, like eight or seven rooms could work. Oh! And don't forget it has to have a crows nest and a creative mast. If you could find a boat with a mast."
"Don't worry, I'll remember." Iolan assured him and gave the thumbs up. Aimez hesitated for a minute but boosted his confidence on his way to his laid back captain. "Look a school of fish!" Aimez nodded and smiled agreeing with him. "Let's eat them!"
Aimez's smile vanished into a devilish grin. His eyes twinkled with satisfactory and mischievous. While Iolan shivered in fear of his friend's strange change in mood."Yeah. Let's eat them and then barbecue them into fish sticks. Mwa ha ha ha!"
"Never mind. Lets eat on the next island." said Iolan.

The boys had stopped at the harbor of this new island. There was clearly nobody in sight, which made Aimez nervous for Iolan. Iolan stepped off the boat and left Aimez sitting with his legs under himself and silently watching Iolan. "I'll be back, but first I need to know the name of this island." Iolan said and placed his hands on his hips.
"Don't do anything stupid. I don't want any problems on our first island." Aimez warned. He crossed his arms and shook his head when Iolan gave him the thumbs up. "I'm serious! You better not get us in trouble!" Aimez shouted. Iolan turned around. "Iolan! Are you listening!"
"Yeah." Iolan walked further away from Aimez, as a sudden cloud of mist blocked his sight to see him. He walked further and was unaware of three figuers carefulley observing him. If you focused, two of the silhouettes held thin silver blades in their hands. Though, the third one was holding a wooden staff with the tip, a curved blade. "How strange for an island with houses and pubs to be so silent."
Suddenly, Iolan was knocked defenseless, and hit the ground. He prayed open one eye to see two purple haired girls, with lime green colored eyes. They wore pink no sleeve tank tops, pink shorts and blach boots that reached to their knees. The twins were holding an odd sword. It was a Shamshir, way different than a usual Japanese Katana. The two stuck the blades to his face, an inch to his nose.
"Woah." Iolan muttered. He rolled over to dodge a blow, with another strike, Iolan caught the swords between his feet. "Looks like your in a bind. Let me help you." he joked and pulled the blade between his feet, throwing the attacker against a wall. Iolan jumped up, putting a stanza of an unusual fighting style.
"Kami! You bastard, i'll get you for that!" the other lookalike female threatened. She charged over at Iolan, who had not move from his previous spot.
"Hoshi Hoshi Burn out!" Iolan shouted. His fist began to glow red, with a sock in the other attacker's stomach, she fell out and let go of her weapon. The other twin had than suddenly got up, Iolan turned around and caught her by the collar burning off half of her shirt and throwing her to the wall again. Kami than threw her sword. Iolan ducked and grabbed the two girls heads, smashing them together in pain. Iolan, however, was unaware of another opponent, who suddenly bashed him in the head with her wooden staff. "Aah!"
The woman appeared to have light brown hued hair, wavy and long. The color of her eyes were blue, large and innocent and her lips were cherry colored, as freckles laid on the bridge of her nose. The woman wore blue ripped jeans, black & white no sleeve crop top and a long sleeve yellow thin hoodie, that was unzipped. Though, to notice there was steel elbow blades located tied onto her elbow and she also held a helmet in her left hand.
"Kami, Len. Wake up." she ordered. Kami kneeled in front of her and turned to see Iolans unconscious body. "Your not badly hurt are you?"
"No. But I think Len needs to be treated, there's a burn on her and a huge gash that's bleeding." Kami said. The other woman nodded and grabbed the back of Iolan's collar, while Kami grabbed Len's leg after dropping her weapons and the two dragged the comatose away.

Aimez stood by the dinghy, waiting for Iolans return. He darted his eyes around the mist covered area, his eyes widened once he saw a figure walking out of the mist over to him. Ainez pulled one leg behind him and held a fist. Though, the figure revealed himself to be an old man with dark eyes and wearing a dark blue robe. Aimez unleashed his fist and mouthed an 'O' in surprise, until the old man began to cough, that 'O' transformed into a grim frown.
"What do you want old man?!" he impulsively asked, placing his hands on his hips.
The elderly man walked closer to him. Distrust filled Aimez's head, making him back up into the boat. He clenched two fists and held his teeth together, the elder walked closer and closer making Aimez feel highly uncomfortable. "Stop right there!" he ordered. The old man halted. "You dind't answer my question."
The elder tilted his head. "Are you a traveler?" he asked, his voice was weezing.
"Yeah." Aimez responded.
"That's not good. King Romano will surely come after you." he said.
"King? The only king I know that exists in the East Blue, is on Candy Island. Though, there was a king on another island five years ago. Could this be the island?!"
"This island is named Aki Island." the old man nodded.
"You said the king will come after me because i'm a trespasser. I have a freind, who arrived with me, you think you can show me the way around to the castle?" Aimez asked. The elder grinned largely and nodded, that made Aimez smile as well. "Alright!"
"But, I can't walk that well sir. My back is broken and I am too old to walk a long trek to an old pointless castle" The elder mourned. Aimez's twitched in annoyance and he sweatdropped, walking over to the old man and held out his back, squatting. "Hm."
"Get on my back, dude. I gotta go save my nakama." Aimez said, pointing his thumb to himself. The old man hung on his back, holding on to his shoulders with his legs dangling down. Aimez sighed and the two began thier journey for a rescue for a nakama. "Hey old man, what's your name?" nobody answered him, Aimez sighed and turned his head. "Yaaaaaaah!" he screamed. The old man was sleeping on his shoulder and drooling. "Get off me!!"
