Du dum, here it is and this time I've got more drama... :p
"It appears that word are meaningless to you." She said with a serious expression. Somehow I knew she wasn't joking. But still, I had to ask.
"Robin. Why are you doing this?" I asked her as I got up. My body was dead tired and being thrown like a rag doll didn't exactly make it better.
"Hm! this is all your nakamas are capable of? Such weaklings." The man with horns said, Bruno was his name if I remembered correctly. I sighed and grinned at him.
"Like I care what you think. We're here to save Robin!" I said to him and stood straight besides Sanji.
"That's right! Robin, let's escape!" Sanji plead but in vain. This is when Lucchi suddenly starts to laugh. In a slight shock I didn't know what to do really.
Usopp suddenly spun around and pointed at Franky.
"Franky-kun! Cut the third car loose!" he said surprising us all.
"Why?" Franky asked. A moment of silence.
"To get away." He said and reached for his pocket.
"Sogeking Smoke Star!" he yelled as he while making a spin suddenly dropped a smoke bomb. The move didn't just surprise us but also the CP9. Quickly I ran to the third car as Usopp had said. Moments later Usopp came running with Robin under his right arm.
"Robin's coming with us!" he yelled as he ran to us.
"Yosha!" we all exclaimed and I couldn't help but to smile. I was still shaken but as the cars slowly drifted apart I felt relief coming to me.
Tired and with my legs feeling like spaghetti I sung to the floor.
"We did it, we got Robin back!" I said now calm. I looked at Sanji and Franky standing looking after the CP9 and their car.
"What a way to retreat." Franky said with disbelief in his voice.
"It wouldn't have been the same if he didn't use stuff like his smoke screen." Sanji said. Somehow I got the feeling they made really funny faces when saying such things.
"Accomplishing our goal without fighting them was the best idea but…" sanji said while lighting his cigarette "… that was too easy."
"Yeah, even with the cars completely separated, this feels wrong. They aren't like the small fries." Franky agreed with Sanji. I thought about it for a short moment and I realized that they were right. We had all seen how powerful they really were; they had almost killed me but also Nami, Luffy and Iceberg-san.
Suddenly strange sounds were heard and as I looked up I saw black thorn whips grabbing hold of our car. Panic once again came back to me as I got up.
Slowly in the distance you could see Bruno pull the cars together again with the whips used as ropes.
"Cut them!" I yelled but it was too late.
"Such power…" I heard Sanji say as Bruno grabbed our car and held their and ours together. How…?
"That smoke screen was a pretty dumb idea." Bruno said. I heard Sanji mutter something back but I had just realized something really bad. My bo… was still inside the CP9's car!
"Don't kill the Straw-hat pirates, we've made a promise." Lucchi said.
"Guard Robin-chan with your lives!" Sanji said. Sure, but how? Without my Bo, with no knifes and not knowing how to use my electricity I wouldn't have any chance against these guys…
"It's time to tear these cars apart!" yelled Sanji as he kicked Bruno.
I panicked when seeing this. I had to get my Bo or else…
I tapped Usopp on the shoulder before running past both Sanji and The CP9. Sprinting 10 meters wasn't hard but finding my Bo before the CP9 would attack me was another issue. I rolled and kneeled on the floor looking underneath the seats. Looking to the left I saw it lying fairly close to me, 2-3 feet away. I got up and reached for it when a foot landed on my back, pushing me to the ground. A loud crack was heard when my rib finally broke into two. I screamed in pain, only and inch from my Bo. Califa sneered at me without moving her foot.
"Dumb girl, running in here…" she said.
Somewhere in the distance I could hear the guys calling but I didn't really listen. It's like when you read a sentence three times over without understanding what it means. I could only think about how stupid I had been, acting on my emotions and panic. If I had only… thought about it first…
At least Robin… was…
Total darkness made thoughts, sounds and the pain disappear. Or maybe it was I… disappearing.
"Geez, you're a really stubborn kid aren't you?" a voice said. A kid's voice…
I opened my eyes and looked around me.
The cars, the others and the sea was gone and now I found myself lying in a huge white room. It looked something like a ballroom with a high ceiling and marmor floor. That I could tell since the floor was cold against my back.
I got up in sitting position noticing that my ribs didn't hurt anymore. I felt at them with my fingers.
"It doesn't hurt, does it?" the voice said. I looked up now meeting a pair of blue eyes and wild blond hair. A childish grin was on the boys face and he was dressed in bright red clothing and had a silver earring in his left ear nib.
I recognized him instantly and pointed at him.
"Suspicious adventure boy!" I yelled as I tried to stand up. He sighed but smiled at the name I'd given him.
"That's right! Welcome, Mika, to the Fate Council." He said and grinned in a similar way reminding me of a certain captain. I looked around but found only me and the boy in the big hall.
"This place…" I asked. The boy nodded.
"Ah, this is the Meeting Hall and is used by the Council for meetings and parties…" he started to explain. I sighed.
"That's not what I mean…" I said as I sweat dropped. "What am I doing here?"
The boy was quiet for a while. Then his eyes grew dark.
"You died." He said.
I froze, as he didn't say anything further. I opened my mouth but no sounds came out. I feel a shock coming over me as I…
"Not! Did you believe that? Baka!" the boy said and laughed. I stared at him, my eye brown twisting slightly.
"Really… I GODDAMIT BELIEVE YOU! BRAT!" I yelled as I grabbed his collar and shook him like crazy. He threw him hands up in the air.
"I surrender!" he said, eyes spinning. I wasn't quite done with him when suddenly I heard light footsteps coming closer. I turned to look when I saw a woman coming across the floor.
She wore a light green dress and around her face light brown curls fell framing kind blue eyes and a gentle smile. She smiled even more when our eyes met. Suddenly she broke into a running pace and came up to me grabbing me and pulling me into a hug.
"Mika! I wanted to see you!" she said while crushing me to her fairly large breast. Not that I dislike getting a hug but it coming from an unknown beautiful woman was still strange to me. Not only that but I couldn't breath!
"Alina, I think you're killing her." The boy said. The woman blinked a few times surprised before she noticed my almost limb body.
"AH! Sorry Mika!" she said and hugged me even tighter. The boy now had to step in and rescue me from this incredible strong woman.
Five minutes later both the boy and I was out of breath trying to free me. The woman, Alina, was on the edge to crying. Somehow I got a feeling that wasn't good…
"It's okay, I'm fine, look!" I said and pointed at myself. Alina nodded and now smiled.
"You have grown Mika. So beautiful. You look just like him." She said touching my cheek with a warm hand. I looked at her confused. Him? Grown?
"Sorry, do I know you?" I asked. Alina withdrew her hand with eyes full of tears. Suddenly she turned to the boy now angry.
"You didn't tell her?" she asked. The boy stepped back slightly with a nervous smile.
"I didn't have enough time…" he said.
"Time? She's been her for, what? Months? And you still haven't had the time to explain it to her, Alec?" she said with a scolding voice. The boy, obviously called Alec, flinched.
"Sorry?" he said and stepped behind me for protection. I sighed but raised my hand slightly to catch Alina's attention.
"I don't really get what you're talking about but I 'm here now aren't I?" I said.
Alina stood up straight and calmed down. She nodded and looked at me with serious eyes. She reached out and grabbed my hands in hers.
"Mika, I'm your mother." She said and smiled a gentle smile.
Ops, what have I done... funny, right?
I've got more in store for later, in the meantime try and read my other stories. Bye!
