Serpent Chain Saga, Swamp Island Arc, Episode 6: The Devil his due

I woke up several times during the night. Every time I checked to see the light conditions. The last time a saw the sun barely rise and I broke out of my weakened chains. "It's time" I told Froggy.

I licked the bars and bent them out of shape. "What are you doing" A guard demanded as he and another guard lunged at me.

I made a sword and blocked the first guards swing. The second guard swung at me, and I dodged the swing and punched him with knuckle blades. The first guard tried to hit me with the butt of his axe. I dodged and the his swing hit the second guard. I grabbed the axe and swung it at the other guard. The guard blocked my swing and the second one grabbed me from behind. The guard behind me swung a headbutt missing and hitting the other guard. I broke free and hit both guards in the face with the blunt. "Froggy I'm breaking you out" I said.

I grabbed the guards keyring and unlocked Froggy's cell, and chains. "Froggy, break out Runner and Rock-fist, I'll handle The Sergeant." I said.

(Froggy's POV)

I grabbed the keys and ran down the hall sorting through the key's. A trio of guards charged at me, and I ran for my life. I ran by Rock-fist's cell and threw the key into it.

(Rock-Fist's POV)

I rolled and grabbed the key Froggy threw at me. I unlocked my chains and the door and stopped two of the guards. I made arms of rock and punched a guard in the chest. I caught the second guards axe and broke it in half. I bent the head of the first guards axe and snapped it off. The guard swung his pole at me hitting me in the stomach. I grabbed the stick out of the guard hand but the other guard hit it with his half axe. I dropped the pole causing the guard to drop the axe, then I punched both guards in the face through there helmets than ran towards the door. I ripped out the bars and into freedom.

(Blader's POV)

I ran down the hall towards the Sergeant office when I ran into the man himself. "What are you doing " The Sergeant barked.

"Getting my money and freedom back." I replied.

He swung his whip and I dodged to the left. He swung a second swing and I ducked under it. Before he could swing again, I grabbed the whip and frayed the rope. The sergeant growled angrily and hit me in the back. The whip stung as it hit me. I grabbed and pulled it again, this time the seastone head falling off. I kicked it backwards and The Sergeant ran away.

(Froggy's POV)

I ran away from the guard and into the Door. I ducked down and the guards axe cut through the door. I ran out the door and onto a canoe which the guard jumped on to. The guard swung his axe and hit the bottom of the boat. I lashed out my tongue and grappled to the shore.

(Blader's POV)

I chased after The Sergeant into his office. "Give me my money" I demanded.

"No" he shouted winding up his whip.

Before he could swing, I punched him in the face and grabbed the bag of money and left.

(Froggy's POV)

The guard pulled himself out of the water, disarmed and without a helmet. I jumped up and punched the man in the face. I grabbed on to his arm and punched him repeatedly, while he angrily swung his arm trying to shake me off. He grabbed a tree and lifted his fist but I shot my tongue backwards and grappled toward another tree. I aimed at another tree and grappled toward it punching the guard in the process toppling him. The Guard regained his balance and charged at me "You little brat" He yelled.

I quickly grappled to another tree and shot my tongue at a tree further than the one I jumped off. The guard tripped on the trip wire and water leaked out of his armor as he hit the ground. The guard stood back up charged at me again. He swung at me with his fist, which I dodged tying up his ankle. I lunged at him punching his face and zipping back to avoid his response. I did this repeatably till he collapsed to the ground. The I started walking along the river towards the mouth.

(Runner's POV)

I had been waiting in my cell for a while. I heard noises of fighting but none near me. Finally I got tired of waiting. I rolled of my bed and onto the floor. I crawled toward the door and when a guard came by. I kicked his ankles making the key fall into one of the locks on my chains. With my ankles unchained, I unlocked all of my chain and then opened the door."What are you doing" The guard demanded.

The guard swung at me and I back flipped away. I landed on his axe and kicked him in the chest, then jumped to the ground. I rolled to avoid the guards next strike. The guard swung a third time but this time I caught the axe by the handle. I pulled it out of his hands. I then smacked him in the face with the flat end knocking him to the ground.

I ran down the hall and when I got to an intersection, I ran into Blader. "Hey Runner" He shouted. "I got the money."

"What money" I replied.

"The money that we should have gotten for defeating Captain Viper. "He said.

Both of us ran toward one of the exits when we ran into trio of guards the center one larger and with a double sided axe.. "Stop" They chorused.

(Trace's POV)

I rowed into the mouth of the river in a canoe with my partner Chaser. "So what do you think this guy is up to." He asked.

"Probably trying to force people into the marines as always." I replied.

"But he hasn't done that in awhile, and he turned in those prisoners" Chaser said.

"That probably as a cover up. After all Smoker said he thought he saw The Sergeant take three people to the cabin" I replied.

"So he taking them to train as marines, so he can go back to his glory days when he supplied tons of marines." Chaser said.

"Yeah that it" I said.

After a while I Chaser spoke up "Hey looks at those flies. He said.

He fired two shots from each revolver, hitting two flies. He than reloaded with his lower triggers, and fired two more shots. He hit two more flies. "Pretty impressive" He remarked.

"That's nothing" I replied.

I aimed my rifled and waited for a few seconds, once the moment came. I fired my rifle and shot 4 flies with one bullet. "Nice Shot" He said, with a mix of sincerity and jealousy.

Suddenly A huge alligator came out of the water Chaser fired 8 bullets into in and it sank back into the water, and swam away. I aimed into the water and fired, the bullet hit the alligator but it was not hurt much."It got away" I complained.

"Well at the it's thing is gone" Chaser said.

(Blader's POV)

Runner jumped over the first guard then engaged the back two. The leader swung his axe, and I made claws and grabbed on to it. He swung the other head at me forcing me to let go of the axe and duck. He swung the axe downward and I caught it in my hands. He yanks it out of my hands but I stood up so I could evade his next strike. I swung a sword at him clanging against his armor, making him double over a little. In response he used the handle of his axe to push me against the wall. I punched him in the face but he just back of a little and hit me again.

(Runner's POV)

I jumped over the first guard then engaged the back two. I lifted one foot up and spun around kicking both guards. The guards both tried to hit me with there axes but I flipped and dodged them. On my way down I kicked both guards in the chests. The first guard swung at me and I grabbed the axe with my feet. The second swung at me and I ducked to the ground. He swung downward, the axe cracking into the ground a little. I kicked the guard the face rotating the helmet of a little. I stomped on the axe and threw it at the second guard dazing him. Before he could hit back, I hit him with piece knocking him down. I looked to Blader and saw he needed. help. I kicked the chief guard in the back. He let go of Blader and prepared to swing at me. But before he could, he buckled in pain and turned around. There was a dent in his armor were Blader's tried to stab him in the back, but it had not gone all the way through. I kicked the wound and the guard collapsed to the ground. "You can't beat me" He yelled lifting his axe.

"Blader grabbed the axe out of his hand and I kicked making him fall again. Both of us left the prison and into the woods

(Chaser's POV)

Trace and I walked through the Sergeant fortress. As we walked we saw some guards lying on the ground. When we got to the office, I walked in and saw the sergeant sitting on a chair holding his check. I pointed my gun at him. "We look who who we have here" I told Trace.
"I'm an innocent man" He insisted "I was robbed and assaulted.
"By these people" I said handing him Polaroids.
"Yes that is them" He said.
'Yeah but Commodore Smoker said he thought he saw you take them to Viper's Cabin." I said
"So he have enough evidence to prove you guilty. Your under arrest" Added Trace

Trace handcuffed the Sergeant, and he lead him to the boat.
