Seiran rolled over to his side and as he does his backside hits Clara's. They were both currently sharing a bed because Clara said she could keep a better eye on him. He wanted to decline, but he couldn't bring himself to say no. He twisted and turned repeatedly but just couldn't seem too get comfortable. He sighs and turns to the ceiling when suddenly he feels two arms wrap around his chest.
He looked over seeing it was Clara sleeping peacefully. The memories from last night quickly sink in and he begins to blush. He started thinking about how they first met and how he became the person he is today.
It had been three whole years since Seiran had met Clara. Since those three years passed, he had started living with her and her little organization. After a couple of years of misery training Seiran had become a fledged out assassin under the employment of Capone.
Currently he his on a mission that requires him to stay in a hotel for the night. He had Clara with him, someone he had become close to. Then sadly he also had Harvey tagging along. Also known as that loose canon assassin who couldn't be still for the life of him. Harvey would be classified as his best worst enemy.
Clara walked out the shower with a towel over her head; she found Seiran sitting by himself on the bed. "Neko, where did Harvey go?"
"He left out to find some food. He's too cheap to pay for whatever they have in the fridge." Seiran answered groggily.
"That's are Harvey for ya', cheap, loose canon, and a man of action." Clara cooed sitting next to Seiran. "I'm glad he joined are little team when he did."
"Why?" Seiran asked. "Because you like him?"
"Are you jealous my little Neko. Does my little Neko have a crush on me." Clara teased him by advancing closer to the semi neko Seiran.
The latter apparently wasn't getting the joke. This drove him into a even deeper bad mood which could be noticed when he pushed her away. Clara gotten that she went too far and try to comfort him, only to get her hand smacked away. "You really don't get it! Clara I like you okay, is that what you want to hear?! Yeah I'm jealous because you like Harvey but only because he's trash and you deserve better!"
Clara and Seiran were at a stand still. Both gazed into each others eyes before she slowly began to lean towards. Seiran did the same until they were only centimeters apart…
"TEENAGE REBELLION TIME!" The pair leaped from each other when the door was kicked open. A tanned man stepped inside. He wears black-white camouflage oriented pants that closed off just where his, silver plated black boots started. He also wore a bullet proof vest. "HARVEY IS BACK IN TOWN."
Harvey came in throwing some groceries at Seirans' face. He then quickly hopped over to Clara. "So Clara did Seiran keep you company while I was away? I bet he acted just like a good kitten should."
Seiran pulled the groceries off his face apparently at the best time because that's when he caught Harvey kiss Clara on the cheek. It may have been a cheek, but it was surely enough to make him snap. "Harvey…"
Harvey broke the kiss then turned to Seiran.
"Harvey…!" Seiran collected his sword and smashed it down. Harvey's senses kicked in;he pushed Clara on the floor, then grabbed his sword which said sword intercepted the attack. "I'm just about sick of you!"
Harvey smirked, already licking his lips for blood. "Don't be so stupid kitten, you and I both know you can't beat me." He looked into the so called kittens eyes and found they are filled with rage. "But if you insist I can still kill you."
Clara crawled on her knees already witnessing the fight. "Both of you stop this instant! I promise if you fight to the death I'll kill the one that lives!"
"I'm sorry Clara but I'm sick of these trash acting like he owns you." Seiran glared.
"I'm trash now? Screw you!" Yelled Harvey.
Nothing she said could've stopped them. Standing there she watched Harvey already gaining the upper hand by teleporting away. She saw him first, but Harvey was about to stab Seiran in the back. Her stomach sank when it went through him.
"SEIRAN!" She attempted to run towards him, but was held back by a man in a pig a mask.
"SEIRAN!"
said person hopped up from bed from the yell. The first thing he noticed was Clara getting dressed in front of him. Not wanting to seem like a perv Seiran looked away to the edge of his bed, where he found some fish and eggs waiting for him.
"Let's get moving Seiran." She said zipping herself up. "We have reached are destination. Go ahead and eat before we depart are way off." Complying to what he was told, Seiran lifted his hands only to find that there both cuffed up. "About that. We wouldn't want you escaping now do we?"
Seiran titled his head and smiled happily. "Clara I love you too much to try that."
Seiran ate his breakfast which was fed to him by Clara. The latter seemed to be doing a lot of his personal task this morning: coming his hair, brushing his teeth, and even getting his dressed. It could've been a joyful morning if he didn't have to watch the young children chained up as they walked passed; he could see the young innocence and betrayal in their eyes, but a last, they just weren't his problem. At least he could say he related to them on the note of being chained up.
"Okay children or I could say my payday, we have arrived at the marine labs." Clara presented them at a place where the marine lab looked less marine base but more citadel like. Marine snipers held there post on the balconies. Two marine guards were happy enough to let them in as well.
Meanwhile the Lazy Wolf continued its pursuit only halfway there.
"Are we there yet Gami?" Pepper rested on the mans shoulder.
There was that and her brother. They would both be innocent bystanders in the middle of a battle. Neither of them could go into the actual battle, that would be plain stupid. Everyone had already known that someone would have to stay behind and be a caretaker for the day.
"Oi, Pepper, I thought I told you and your brother to stay out of sight?" Scolded Tegami.
"But that would be boooring." Whined Pepper.
"Then go be bored somewhere else." His slated eyes turned to that of a irate Cassidy. "I'm sure that red will be happy to play with you."
"Okay!"
"I'm not a babysitter!" Screeched Cassidy.
"Someone will have to be." Crash said Crash. "We'll be entering the marine labs here and we don't need two kids getting in are way. I just know one thing," Crash quickly raised his hand. "Not it!"
"Not it!"
"Not it!"
"Not it!"
"Zeshishi, not it!"
"Count me out!"
"Sorry, but I really don't want to. Not it!"
"Doubt it!"
"Not happening!"
"Screw the kids!"
"I have a Kya to save!"
"Not it!"
"Violence!"
"Not it!"
Everyone had claimed themselves as not it one at a time. Somewhere around this Martel walked out the kitchen cleaning a cup; he found himself being watched by everyone with their hands up. "Huuuh, did I miss something?"
…
"Ain't that a screw over!" Boasted Martel.
"That doesn't change the fact that we're almost at the island." Darrius located, he pulled the scope from his eye now getting a better look at said island itself. "We better get ready, we don't know how strong these marines are."
"Wait, that's Fire Heart island." Travious deduced.
"You know about this place?" Nora asked.
"Yeah I do. When I was working for the Revolutionaries I was told about an island that had animals unseen to men." Travious remembered from what he was told; he wasn't much of a storyteller, but he will explain the hell out of a plan. "The island was told to have Minotaurs, Phoenix's, and more creatures believed to come from hell."
"Why would people think that?"
Travious turned to the curious eyes of Luna. "Believe it or not, but they're believed to have a connection to devil fruits. The rumor is that they are the original creators or the mythical devil fruits." Well in hindsight that would seem rational enough.
"So how come we never see these creatures around now?" Dante asked jumping into the conversation.
"Whoo! Whoo! I'll explain this one." Jerome said getting the nod of approval from Travious. "Okay, there was once an ancient hero named Fire Heart. They said only he had the power to control the beast, but one day he disappeared without a word." This brought silence among the crew. "With Fire Heart gone this gave the Marines a chance to advance and take everything away."
"Those damned marines." Cursed Luna.
"Just like them." Lowly said Kat. "That can't leave anything alone for its freedom." Remembering the suffering of others hurt Katherine more than it could the actual person. "So did Fire Heart ever come back?"
"He never did." Travious answered. "No one knows if he's dead or alive."
"Alive?" Confusingly asked Crash. "How far back was this?" He knew devil fruits have been around for quite the while. So him still being alive today would disobey the laws of death itself.
"If your curious, Fire Heart wasn't human." Crash raised an eyebrow at Travious statement.
The ship touching the shore was felt amongst everyone.
"We're here." Called Darrius.
The floor creaked as they took each step.
"Get in there you stupid brats!" The guard kicked the children in there cell one by one. Clara delivered her part of the deal now it was time for her payday. The guards lead her and Seiran to the higher floors by taking the elevator. He then lead them into a dark room crowed with spiderwebs, dusty books, computers, and the smell of pizza.
"Close the door the light hurts me." Despite what the scientists had said, Clara had still took it apon herself to flip the light switch. "It burns us! It burns us!" He covered his face out of some type of pain.
Clara rolled her eyes before she jabbed her finger at the scientists. "I've brought you your silly test subjects. Now I want my money."
Cowarding the scientists pulled his arms apart. He has emerald greens eyes, glasses with the lens missing, and balding hair. "Fine you get your crummy money, blah!" His eyes found Seiran after handing Clara the money.
'yes he's there.' His eyes insisted. "We're looking."
Like a monkey finding a human for the first time he moved freely and excitedly around him. "This isn't possible. Half man, half cat. You've must've eat neko berries. Extremely rare and nearly illegally to find, hmmim." He was face front with Seiran. "Would you mind if I pet you?"
"Do it and I promise my soul I will kill you!" Barked Seiran.
Dr. Rose back away, intimidated by his outburst. "How much do you want for him?"
"My Neko isn't for sale." Puffed Clara.
EEH!
EEH!
EEH!
EEH!
The alarm suddenly went off, the room blinked red all over. Rose slid to his seat and quickly began typing his keyboard. After pressing the 'Alt' button the screen shifted into the wilderness where the Hell Fire and Razzle and Shaun are walking through the woods. "It can't be…"
"His alarm sounds like a girl screaming." Clara and Seiran noted at the same time.
"Sir, intruders have entered are base, I repeat intruders have entered the base. The majority of them is the Hell Fire pirates and the other two are Razzle from Kaido's army and a local bounty hunter. From what it looks like they are all allied together. I think we should call the admirals."
"No!"
"No sir?"
"That's right. I don't even want you to attack them, do I make myself clear?"
"Of course sir."
The marine on the other end hung up. Dr. Rose then began typing his keyboard once again.
"Your not calling the admirals. Don't you know this is the pirate crew that took Marine Ford by storm?" Seiran narrowed his eyes. He wasn't sure if the man is foolish or overconfident.
"I'm well aware of their power, but my creations can beat them like THAT!" Rose claimed snapping his fingers. "But I'm more interested in your captain."
"What makes Jerome so important?" He realized how stupid that question sounded; he is a wanted man for Pete's sake. However this wasn't the reason he thought.
Pressing down both his hands, the screen changed again. It shows a figure that looks like Jerome and a devil fruit next to him in blueprint form. "This boy is the unfinished project of Dr. Vegapunk. He told me that the boy and the fruit was unstable, but I didn't listen. Now I'm about to do the one thing he couldn't he finish the job. Then they'll all see how great of a scientists I really am."
Clara had probably read Seiran's mind because they both knew they had to go. However two guards blocked their path from the door. "Rose what's the meaning of this?"
Rose turned around with a giant grin on his face. "Unless you want to give your precious Neko up. You'll both be staying here with me until I get my experiment."
Back in the wilderness, the Hell Fires moved along there way.
"Just keep moving. My senses of a navigator says we're getting close." Darrius assured.
"That's like the tenth time you said that." Pointed out an annoyed Dante.
Nora walked passed him snickering. "Dante you know you should never doubt the navigator."
"His has obsoletely no idea where we're going." Dante countered.
~15 minutes later ~
"You can suck it Dante, because I found the citadel!" Darrius boasted.
Tegami walked to the doors of the citadel; he was one of the few to noticed that they haven't been noticed yet. From his years of experience he knew that it wasn't simply that easy. "My guess is that they are probably already expecting us."
"I wouldn't put it past them so we should stay on are guard." Travious advised the others.
Around this time Luna brought out her newest weapon, thinking how well she'll use it in battle.
Crash tapped her back assuring her things would be okay. "Don't worry. Remember your a doctor and your top priorities is staying alive and healing everybody else got it."
"Got it." She nodded.
Crash's turned to Cassidy who tapped on his shoulder. "Crash-kun, do you have any of my…pill? I just don't want to…you know." Crash tossed her the items she asked for. "Thank you. I really don't want to loose my mind today."
Kat playfully tapped Shaun with the handle of her blade. "So Shaun, are you ready to get your sister back. Like my captain promised will be there with you."
Shaun smiled almost giving off a flirtatious feel. "Of course I am cupcake. Not just her either, I promised my entire island that I would bring all those children back."
"That's very noble of you." She complimented. "So what's the plan B?"
"Excuse me?"
"You know this is the marines we're dealing with now. So you go against them that would make you a wanted man." In a instance her words sucked the life out of him. Shaun laid on the floor with a numeral of things going around his mind. "Was it something I said?"
"Alright!" Jerome raised his fist. "LET'S GO IN, GET SEIRAN THE CHILDREN AND KICK EVERYBODY'S ASS!"
"Loud much." Cassidy complained.
Yehahaha," Tegami bellowed with a strange laugh in the distance. "This is why I follow you, kid! When its coming your ready for a big battle. It doesn't get any better than this. Am I right?"
CLICK, the floor opened beneath them.
"AAAAAH!" The grouped yelled, save Dante who remained chill then Tegami and Razzle who cracked with laughter.
A/N: Hey guys sorry for the long wait. Honestly it might be like this again until I finish 'Total Drama Danger Zone'. Anyway I'm kinda happy the way this came out. Don't no one is dead yet and I still have plans for Martel and the twins.
Now that you've heard the legend of Fire Heart and this island. Are you curios on what might happen? And how will I go about these fights?
V God22: Thanks for sending in that oc, defiantly using him later on. As for the fights, we finally get down to some action next chapter.
Ice Ninja Luna: If your curious I posted the cutesy mascots up now. Thanks for the support and don't worry, I don't mind the review.
Carolyn12: Nothing good will come from what I have planned. Trust me.
Son of Whitebeard: Yeah I like them to.
Ogrespi: I'm sure he wouldn't let you XD. As for the children, well I've been trying to make most them act…pirate. They still have remorse for things, but usually not have them get involved unless they have too.
