AN. thank you for reading this XXOO. i would like to mention that the heart pirates will turn up in the next chapter just if your wondering where they are XD. please review, no flamers please but constructive criticism is welcome XD.
Near the northern face of the mountain near the Marine Base entrance.
"Right girls, I trust that you all know your parts of the plan. Good, now someone remind me of mine." A group of young women and a fat cat were sitting together around a table at the small pub that resides within the village at the base of Mount Túnel; waiting for time to pass before they set their plans for the evening into motion.
"Really Captain you choose now to forget the plan." A rather fat cat with the name of Ellen chose to speak up while rolling her large almond eyes.
"I take it from that statement that you would rather I have forgotten it later?"
"How about, not at all Captain!"
"Can it Crimson!"
"YES CAPTAIN!"
"Right, right, now where were we, okay right. Now, my part of the plan is…" The Captain made an emphatic hand gesture.
"…"Crimson just glared at her captain. Her twin Flame was sitting there waiting for her sister and their Captain to fulfil their part of the plan.
"Okay Captain, pay attention, I'm only repeat myself once more before we need to execute the pla—"
"I wonder if Bepo likes snow peas—"
"Captain would you pay attention!"
"It was just a question" the Captain muttered slumping in her set.
"Right any way we need to K.O. the guards so Flame can get close enough to the entrance to blow it up. Do you know what we're doing now Captain." The Captain huffed in responce.
"Four swords" Rhiannon rose to her full height and made for the door, her crew scrambling behind her brimming with gusto at the thought of finally getting back on track "Aye, now I guess we better get a move on then. Cassie gets really bitchy when she breaks a nail, almost as bad as when we are late… but to be honest she is normally very early…"
"Aye, aye Captain!"
"Now where's these so called… guards…"
"To your left Captain." The cat said.
"Oh right, the rest of you get ready to fight the wave of guards that will flood to the source of the explosion after Flame is done." The rest of the crew (being Flame) nodded and skipped to the location dragging lord knows what explosives as she went.
"Four-swords" checked her hands and after a second of contemplation and turned right. She then corrected herself when Crimson "accidently" knocked her into the right direction.
"Hey Captain?"
"Yes my loyal whatever you are."
"Cook my Captain. Why is it that you refer to all of us as one big crew when in reality there are only six of us? Well actually four of us because Cassie is at the other location and Milah is on the ship… well more like three of us and a cat… more like two now that Flame is blowing stuff up—"
"Let me stop you there my little… baker?"
"-Cook"
"Yeah that. It is all a matter of self-confidence and the fact that I am brimming with it. As I am also insane I like to think I have lots of things when I don't… I also like marimo they are fairies of the lake and can grow up to this big!" spreading her arms out wide the Captain hits a rather fat guard in the back.
"Oi! Watch it you little punks—"
The guard stopped his scolding upon seeing the tall curvaceous, women with large blue eyes and golden hair tied in a single white bow, and her taller, slimmer, red haired companion that was accompanying her. Both of these young women were good examples of femininity, in the, now love struck, fat guards opinion.
"Forgive my fat comrade here, for his rudeness," The fat man's comrade piped up without missing a beat. "You see we've been dealing with an increase of hoodlums recently and now he can barely tell the difference between beauty and butt."
"Oh you poor things," Crimson chimed in, putting a sweeten edge to her words as she stepped closer to the second guard. "Well I guess I have to just cheer you u—"
"Hey you're the guards we have to knock you out! So get ready to… I don't know surrender? Is that the right word," she looked towards Crimson who was now glaring at her Captain for ruining her flow and she shrugged in annoyance.
Dumbstruck, the guards looked at each other and started laughing hysterically.
After a moment of gasping and tear whipping the fatter of the two guards piped up. "By who? You? A girl?! Oh that's rich!"
"Well if you can't count there are two girls and a cat and there are only two of you with no cat so you should surrender now as we over power you by sheer numbers and a cat… oh and we are also awesome so why you just knock yourselves out now if you please? It would save me the trouble of having to do it." The guards stopped snorting when they realised the blonde women was being serious.
"Are you serious!?" The second guard was taken back.
"No just on a tight schedule that's all." The last thing the guards saw that evening was a wave of golden hair and a flash of stars.
"Well that went better than I expected" Crimson muttered under her breath.
"I wonder if Bepo likes Marimo?"
"Captain!"
"Don't yell at me goddammit! FLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMME!"
In the distance a quiet "Aye, aye Boss-sama" was to be heard before an earth shattering BANG ripped through the valley. The entrance to the Marine Base was blown apart and the surrounding gunner chambers were caved in. This explosion was for the first mate of the Heart-Break pirates, DonTillica "the Heart-Break Nurse" Cassandra, the single for her to enter the labyrinth of tunnels and complete the job.
Meanwhile, inside the Marie Base, the explosions were causing extreme mayhem far and wide. As young trainee Marines were scrambling about looking for their weapons and trying to remember the protocol for when such an attack struck. The older cadets and their superiors were trying to calm down the trainees as well as assess the situation that was going on outside. Due to this distraction none of the Marines, new and old, noticed the shadow slide through the rubble of the entrance and move swiftly along the route that the shadow itself had memorised.
The route to the main security and control room.
By the time the dust had settled and the marines were starting to regroup, Flame had re-joined her Captain and sister and was looking forward to the ensuing blood shed that was sure to follow.
"Well don't you look all giddy," Crimson noted as she saw the familiar gleam in her twins eye. It was the same gleam she saw every time her sister was about to enter a fight or was about to light something on fire. It was the same gleam she would get when she would plan to pull a prank on her unsuspecting crewmates. It was a gleam of blood lust and anticipation.
Flame threw her sister her usual shit eating grin and went back to focusing on the Marines at the entrance. Flame wasn't usually one for talking; her sister would do that for her. Whenever, in the past she had tried to talk to people, they usually ended up dead or worse. Not because they were killed by her words. Oh no, they died because their seemly lack of interest simply bored her. That and it was a lot more entertaining to hear them scream and watch them run around on fire.
"Flame, Crimson!" Captain Barked. "I know that look and no," the twins stood in shock. "I find that these boys don't know their true goal in life," Evil twin grins began to spread, "I think they need to learn the truth behind their situation." "Four swords" reached behind her head and pulled the white ribbon loose. Her hair fell in in a golden halo past her shoulders. The ribbon elongated with a green flash, her hair and eyes also took on this colour. In an instant the blue eyed, blonde (in both senses of the word) haired Captain of the 'Heart Break' pirates became the "Green Angel of truth".
The already disorganized marines had never seen such a transformation before. All they could do was shear a single thought… "We're fucked!"
Standing among the now unconscious bodies of his follow trainees, a pink haired, chubby kid with glasses stood shock still, eyes squeezed shut and gripping his pistol tightly.
A moan escaped the Angel's lips "Why is he still standing?"
The pink kid opened one eye and looked down at himself in disbelief.
"How am I still alive?"
"A brilliant question, I wish I could have asked something so intelligent… oh wait I did!" The green bladed Nodachi cut through the boys' skull… still, there he stood. Twice more the blade cut him and twice more no mark was left.
"Are you kidding me?" The Angel continued to stab the kid in the chest to vent her frustration.
"Could you stop doing that?" the kid was able to speak but then wished he had stayed quite.
"Why. Don't. You. Fall. Unconscious? Gah!" between the stabs and slashes the twins just looked at the kid.
"Don't mind her she is going to be awhile, I'm Crimson and this is my sister Flame and you are?"
"A little confused," the boy confessed between the flashes of green that disrupted his vision.
"Don't be, so I take it this is truly where you want to be in life?" She bent down and started patting his head.
The boy filched at the contact then grinned "Yes! You bet! This is where I belong!" The flashes stopped. The sword returned to its initial state. And the Captain tied her hair back up in time to see her first mate return with many scrolls and a blue box in her arms and a very proud looking fat cat on her left shoulder.
"It's very entertaining watching you just walk on bodies like that, it's a good look for you." Crimson said as she was investigating the boy's pink locks that seemed to be his natural colour.
"Mmm. Nnn. Mmn."
"You could help." The cat translated.
Without a word Cassie threw the scrolls into the air and held them there manipulating the wind currents until they were all neatly stacked just beside her head.
"Actually I said "Get. Off. Cat"." With a "rowl!" the cat flew away into the distance.
"Wow. Who knew cats were aerodynamic?" Rhiannon had never seen a fat cat fly so far before.
"Hey you can't take those!" The blue box then dropped on the kids head and he finally fell.
"So magic truth revealing swords don't work but a blue box does." Observed Crimson.
"Yup and cats can fly." Remarked the Captain.
"What a world we live in, eh?"
"Amen to that sisters'" Cassie spoke as she moved past her Captain and handed the box to Crimson placing the scrolls on top, neatly in a pile. "Take these and put them down by my door. When that's done make sure Captain here is on the right ship—"
"It's the bright yellow one, and anyway it's random people that come on my ship. Gee some people just can't tell one and two apart." The Captain tutted.
"… with that being said, tell Milah to set sail for the next island. I'll meet you on deck once I've collected my skiff. Got that 'Red Note'? Just an idea Captain" Cassie quickly added.
Crimson looked to the Captain to get conformation about the orders. It wasn't uncommon for Rhiannon to get prissy about Cassie giving out orders without her permission first. But this time all the Captain mumbled was "what she said" as she bent down to stroke the face of a marine who, she knew, would soon become a painter. In the silence Cassie took her leave to fulfil her 'suggestion' to the Captain by catching the small breeze that was passing and traveling with it up and over the dark mountain to where her small boat lay.
"Well this lots gonna be up soon and when they do they will see the true meaning of themselves. Kami only knows what that will be, so may I suggest we get back on the ship?"
"Yes you may suggest that Crimson, but so long as we have meat I'm hungry. I love meat. And Marimo. Bepo does too; love meat that is… and Marimo."
So the crew of the "Heart-break Pirates" left five-hundred and fifty marines unconscious on the ground and left for the ship to have meat and look at pretty pictures of Marimo. Five-hundred and forty-nine of these marines would awake to know the true meaning of their existence, but that one naturally, pink haired boy already knew, and was never thought of again… maybe he would make an appearance again just solely by coincidence but apart from that not thought of at all.
"Did anyone else notice Cassie wearing a Marine Uniform?" Flame asked as they made their back to their bright yellow ship "The Never Rain."
