At Enies Lobby the author were shocked by the news of the attackers

'L..Luffy? What's he doing here?!' Hikari asked shocked

'Does it matter girl. They're attacking a government base. There's no more too it' Spandam told them

'Yea but why? They might be pirates but pirates rarely do things like this. What's the reason?' Jean asked

'Currently one of their crew members Nico Robin has been arrested as well as an ally named Cutty Flam (Franky). They've came to get them back' Kalifa explained

'DM, we can't attack the Straw Hats. To some of us they're like Nakama!!' Charles pleaded. However DM was silent until he said

'Guys. Whether they're Nakama or not, they have attacked a government base and they must be stopped. All right Spandam. We'll take care of the Straw Hat pirates' DM said sternly while the other authors looked at him with shock

Spandam smiled 'Good. Do this and all the information you want on that bastard Nukid is yours. Now get going!'

DM walked out of the head office while the other authors followed unsure of what DM had decided

When the authors had left the room Airnaruto turned to DM

'You can't be serious can you chief. You're gonna forget our friendship with Luffy and everyone just for some papers. What the hells wrong with you? Airnaruto growled at DM

'Calm down Airnaruto we're not actually gonna kill the straw hats' DM said calmly

'But you said you would take care of them chief' Shelby pointed out

'I did, that doesn't mean we're gonna kill them. If we can talk to Luffy maybe we can convince him to leave' DM explained

'I like with what you're planning sempai but these guys took their Nakama and knowing Luffy he'll fight tooth & nail to get them back' Hikari explained

'We've gotta try something Hime. The last thing we need right now is to get tangled in more problems. Now let's go meet Luffy and everyone' DM said as he started running towards where the Straw Hats were while the rest followed

Meanwhile…..

Ranger, Mantis, TSS, WX and Ross were resting behind the Phoenix out of sight of the full strength Darksides. While earlier they had all been able to fight off the Darksides now in their mutated forms it wasn't so simple

'This…is…nuts!...How..have…they gotten…so strong' Mantis breathed heavily worn out

'When they…lost those masks…they changed into…those monsters…maybe that's why..' TSS managed to say

'Whatever the case…we're not holding out well. We need to regroup. Where is Soul?' Ross asked

By coincidence TL is suddenly thrown over the Phoenix and lands hard on the ground in front of them

'Whoa Soul are you alright?' WX asked

'Anyone get the drivers plate on that truck' TL said dazed. The Authors groaned

'Get him over here. We need to make a plan fast' Ranger ordered as Ross picked up TL as they talked their plan over

'Okay ever since those Darksides took off their mask not only did they turn into those mutants they can use Twilight. Ranger you're the Twilight expert how is this possible' Ross asked

'A Darkside having Twilight has never happened before ever, though it isn't impossible I doubt they could've have learnt it that well' Ranger pondered

'And since when has a Darkside had the power to turn into those monsters. It's like we're dealing with a new breed of Darksides' Mantis exclaimed

'Ranger didn't you say you had some new technique you had mastered?' TSS asked

'Hmm you're right that could work, but it's risky' Ranger pondered

'What technique?' TL asked waking up

'It's called 'Twilight absorb'. Ages past some Twilight warriors had the ability to literally zap out the Twilight out of a person, I only learnt this just in case, looks like I was right' Ranger explained

'You mean you can take away their Twilight energy?' WX asked

'Yea but theirs an upside and a downside to it. The upside is I can take away all Twilight energy in a mile radius. The downside is it'll take 10 minutes to work, and seeing as we were all beat in under 5 minutes…' Ranger stopped talking until he said '…you know what forget I said anything. You guys will be fine'

'Wow Ranger, you really have that much faith in us?' TL asked happily

'Err yeah sure why not. Just remember this. Form what I saw of them, when they work together they are much stronger, like they some kind of link. Try to separate them, and above all don't go too far, otherwise this attack might not work on them. Got it?' Ranger asked

'Got it Ranger' Mantis said taking out his Scythe 'All guys, round two begins'

With that all but Ranger charged towards the Darksides as Ranger started to power up his attack

'I've got a bad feeling about this' Ranger groaned

Meanwhile…

Nukid newly formed team the Hunters stared towards what looked like a normal warehouse. However it was much more than that

'Hey blonde chick is this you're old hideout?' Travis asked Rose

'The name's Rose, and yes hat is where we kept the Huntsclan most precious secrets' Rose told them

'Man to hide them in such a normal looking place. Quite smart' Vash complimented while Shego scowled

'What are you talking about, that is so cliché it's almost obvious' Shego scowled

'Well are we gonna stand here or are we gonna inside Nukid?... Nukid?' Drakken turns around to see Nukid who was lying in the middle of the street asleep

'H…he's asleep again!! How bad is he?' Drakken squealed. Travis walked over to Nukid and stomped his chest

'DAMN IT NUKID WAKE UP!!' Travis shouted as Nukid slowly woke up

'Oh..morning Travis. What are you doing in my apartment' Nukid asked dazedly

'Nukid you fell asleep again. You should really see a doctor about your Narcolepsy' Rose said while Nukid laughed

'Relax you guys it's not that bad. Now let's go' Nukid said as he walked towards the hideout

'Mr Vash, how bad is it really?' Rose asked Vash

'Let's just say he's fallen asleep in the middle of fights' Vash said with a smile

'So Nukid why is finding this archaeologist so important anyway' Drakken asked

'To my knowledge there are only two people who can read these stone tablets, and they are the archaeologist and whoever created the Zodacs. We can't let her get in the wrong hands. That is why you five are gonna search the building and find her' Nukid explained

Five? What are you gonna be doing then?' Shego asked

Nukid smiled 'It seems we have a guest. It would be rude to not welcome him. If you know what I mean'

The Hunters seem to understand Nukid as they all walk inside the hideout. Nukid turned around towards the opposite end of the street

'You can come out of hiding now, I know you're there' Nukid said out loud

After a short time a figure walked out of the shadows. At first Nukid thought he was a Zodiac, however he realized he was wrong

'So you knew I was there did you. Guess you're as good as the others said' the person said

'Are you referring to the Author fighters, because in case you don't know I stole that Tablet without breaking a sweat' Nukid told him

'There's a difference between fighting and what you did Nukid. Let's see how good you are in a one on one fight'

'Usually I can't be bothered to fight. It isn't exactly my favourite hobby anymore, but I can tell you won't take no for an answer. So I'll fight you, but first what's your name'

Under his hollow mask he smiled as he raised his sword

'I am Author Fighter member X Prodigy, and for attacking my friends. I intend to make you pay'

Zodiac Encyclopaedia

Ino stood in front of the huge T.V. by herself this time

'Welcome to another episode of Zodiac Encyclopaedia. On todays episode we will discuss something Ranger24 mentioned earlier, and that is teamwork' Ino told us

'Now when a group of manufactured Darksides are born they consider each other brothers. This bond between them is so great it means as as team they are near unstoppable. That is why the Authors in Jump City were losing against the Twilights. As a team they have an unbreakable bond with each other' Ino explained

From the left came in Ox and Rabbit Darksides Oushi and Usagi

'It's true. Usagi and I always knows what the other is thinking, but with Usagi it's fairly obvious. He's always thinking up strategies in his head' Oushi laughed

'Yes well brother at least I don't think about animal porn' Usagi said with an evil grin under his mask

'You swore you'd never say anything brother!!' Oushi cried

'I wonder how Drake deals with you Zodiacs. Anyway there you have it stay tuned for next chapter. Remember if you have any problems understanding manufactured Darksides feel free to ask'

'Oh and to Roscoso question if we were to make a Darkside from Ozzys blood then the manufactured Darksides would share powers similar to Ozzy such as Psychic. Just like Shades Darksides can use Twilight powers. It's all down to who the blood giver is' Usagi explained

'Thank you Usagi. Until next time see ya everyone' Ino said waving

Oh boy we've got three fights coming up

Author Fighters vs. Strws Hat Pirates

Author Fighters vs. Twilights

X Prodigy vs. Nukid

Some much fighting, and this is only the calm before the storm!! Stay tuned

Oh and Ranger i hope you're okay with that little technique i've given you. I needed a way to end this fight and i think it's pretty cool
