The Adventures of Brown D. Kayla
Chapter 7: Finding Kayla; Emotions
"Great... Just great! Kayla's captured. Now we have to rescue her. I told her that this was going to happen." Paige said seriously.
"Finding her is going to be a bit painful..." Lily said.
"I can't believe, though. Kayla got captured so easily. It makes me want to ponder a little more." Paige thought.
There was water gushing from a waterfall nearby. There were tall trees planted on the firm ground, and leaves began to fall. The sun was close to the clouds, casting a shadow. One person was dragging a young girl. Kayla opened her eyes for a short minute and then opened them widely in horror. She was cuffed! She looked at her hands and saw the sea stone cuffs that were chained. She was deep pain, like a boulder was crushing her. Then, she saw a man with dark violet hair and eyes with a priest outfit dragging her.
"Damn... Sea Stone cuffs. I can't escape. Can't even move. I should have known. Even though I got this great power, my weakness is those stupid cuffs! What's done is done." She thought.
"Oh you're awake. How lovely?" he said evilly.
I tried to break away from him, but I know it can't be true. Kira hold me by the throat. He didn't strangle me, but I know it's something far worse than I imagine.
''Well, sweetie we're here. My lair..." He said.
She didn't get it. Where was it? Maybe she had bad eyesight, but it didn't matter. He had a necklace and it shone a scarlet light. The waterfall stopped gushing instantly. A giant hole, way inside...
"A cave?" I asked in pain.
"A secret cave... Since you're awake, walk!" he said proudly.
I tried to get up but I collapsed hard on my face. That's what you get when you ate a devil fruit.
"Still not strong enough... I guess I'll be carrying your weight for a bit longer." He said then sighed.
He dragged me harder and quicker. My butt felt like a hundred small needles poking it.
Meanwhile...
Paige and Lily started looking for Kayla.
"Lily, you know this island more than I do..." Paige spoke.
"I think I have an idea where Kayla is." Lily said uncertainly.
"Where?" Paige yelped.
"Let's check the autumn ruins. It's directly north-west of here." She spoke in confidence.
"Let's go!" Paige shouted excitingly.
Paige and Lily sprinted to the autumn ruins, but they came to a complete stop. The Luna clan and the Sol clan were on separate sides. All were carrying weapons of hurtfulness: pitch forks, wooden bats, rocks, hoes, and kunai. Angry, frustrated men were getting closer to each other. Lily gasped in horror and awe at the display.
"Your people killed our priest! You'll pay for what you've done LUNA CLAN!" one man from the Sol clan yelled.
The crowd on the left side, which was the people of Sol roared and raised their weapon. The Luna clan looked at them disgusted.
"You actually think that we would kill a priest? You know that we're a peace-loving group of people. Why do you think that our people we would do this?" one Luna member asked logically.
"If you're a peaceful-loving group, then why do you have weapons, stupid?" one wise-cracked.
The Luna clan looked at themselves and one by one dropping their weapons to the ground. They'd realized they have almost let their emotions get the better of them. They'd almost started lose their ways the goddess. Some looked at their hands in utter disgrace. Some suddenly kneeled and cried to the heavens in forgiveness. As soon as things calmed down, the people of Sol snickered and laughed manically. There was an ominous silence. Lily's eyes widen in tremendous fear. She was about to scream, but she tried to hold it. She began to cry silently and fell on her knees. The men of Sol charged and tried get revenge on the Luna clan. Luckily, Paige was able to stop them. She grabbed one of the men that was attacking the villagers and used a judo kick and pinned him down. The others backed down and saw the young teen pinned down a 28 year old. They looked shocked and stepped back a few feet.
Lily opened he eyes and saw Paige on the ground. She wiped her tears with her firm hands. Paige looked at them with anger-filled eyes.
"You all look like animals! Don't you see what you've become? There is no need for revenge! GO HOME!" Paige spoke in distaste.
Some of the men desired to fight, but their desire was burned out like a candle. The men from the two separate sides disbanded. Lily ran to Paige and thanked her.
"Thank you, sis..."she said sorrowfully.
"You're welcome... I think I just stopped a bloodbath today..." Paige spoke proudly.
"We need to find Kayla. This squabble lasted for two hours, and we need to find her." Lily said.
"Oooookay! Let's go!" Paige blurted excitingly.
In the cave, Kayla was chained with metal cuffs. She was also stripped off most of weapons. Kira looked at her and smile in mischief. Kayla snarled at him. Instantly, Kira had sea-stone-like brass knuckles and punched her in the face. She spitted blood on him in disgust. Again, Kira punched her and Kayla turned quiet.
"I have brought you here for a reason my pure angel..." I said darkly.
"I know! You want to stop me from knowing the truth and spreading it, and then... to the island. After that, they'll stand up against you..." I said determined.
"You got the first part right..."he said
"Wha?" I asked.
"I will make you PURE... In my sight..."he said with a slight grin on his face.
"Pure? You don't know what pure really means..." I mumbled.
"What? I didn't quite hear you..."he said calmly, and punched me.
I gasped and looked him in the eye. I was about say something smart but my mind told me to shut up. I was hanging almost life-less on the rock-ish wall. Kira walked slowly towards me. For a moment, I trembled, but it was primordial fear, so it didn't last long.
"Those people... Only the strong will survive. The weak, the independent, and the ones who oppose me will die." He said as if he were holy.
"Wha? I don't understand." I spoke in curiosity.
"I'll put in simple terms for you, since of course, are not from this island. The so called "gods" are just a cover up of my plan that will soon be in action. Actually, it's been in the plan of my family's for many generations. Most of my family members, including my father had succeeded thus far. All of our family members had a duty, a job, if you will." He explained.
"So what a minute... It was planned that your father would die?" I said reassuring.
"That was part of the plan. My father would die by one of our men and frame one of the Luna clan members. The Luna clan was a pain the ass for many generations. They say peace this and help that or pushed their moral values on us. It annoyed me very much when I was a kid to point that I loathe their existence. Our plan is to remove the Luna clan." He finished explained.
"You mean genocide." I said seriously.
"Genocide is just a harsh word to get rid of a peculiar race or religion. I would say remove them... from the world...from this planet." He said smartly.
"You...you... You're a monster! How can you let your father..." I shrieked, and Kira cut me off.
"I want eradicate all of the Luna clan, all of the weak. It was all for the cause! My father knew what he had to do. "Kira revealed in a maniacal way.
"You're deranged!" I declared.
"Don't worry my angel. You'll be cleanse and join this astonishing utopia." He said.
"I'll never join you." I remarked.
"We'll see... After all, I have to deal with your so called friends. They are confusing you. You are pure and you need my guidance. I'm gonna lock you up and I'll make sure that your friends won't find you or survive. I must take my leave. My people need me." He replied evilly and gave a maniacal laugh.
My eyes dilated and a colossal wave of uneasiness was crashing on my shoulders. I'd started to feel distress about my friends and the people, especially the Luna clan lives.
"I can't let this happen." I thought, "But what can I do? The cuffs are made of sea stone, and he totally crushed my communication. Probably Paige and Lily are worried... They can save me, but... Kira's too sturdy. He may just... No I can't think like that. I MUST HAVE FAITH!" I finished my thought.
In the Autumn Ruins...
Paige and Lily were looking through the trees and ruins to find their friend. Paige roamed on the east side of the ruins and she saw pieces of technology. She called Lily to come in her direction.
"Hey! It's Kayla's Den-Den mushi. It's been destroyed. Kira... I'll make that bastard pay!"Paige aroused.
"Don't worry. We'll find Kayla, and so we'll expose Kira for who he really is" Lily said confident.
"Really?" an unfamiliar voice asked.
Paige and Lily looked back and laid eyes on five men.
"Who sent you? What are you here for? " Paige demanded.
"Kira sent us to eliminate both of you. You shall not live!" The man said with authority.
