A/N: A rare Sunday update... I meant to get this out yesterday but my schedules got mixed up... nothing much other than that... either way enjoy!
Chapter 22: Don't Celebrate Just Yet
It was breakfast at the Beach House. Mirajane of course was making breakfast. Nami decided to tell them more stories.
"And then it turns out he didn't know what rubber was!" said Nami, "But when he found out Luffy was immune I could have sworn he made the weirdest face."
"So I guess it was an easy fight." Said Amethyst.
"No he cheated, he attached a giant gold ball on Luffy then dumped off the side of his flying ship." Said Nami, "Of course Luffy managed to get him back and used the gold ball as a weapon."
"How many tyrants have Luffy beaten up?" asked Amethyst.
"Three…" answered Nami, "Four if you count the World Nobel."
"Wait… Luffy beat up a World Nobel?" asked Vivi.
"Are you really all that surprised?" asked Robin.
"Not really…" said Vivi.
"What's a World Nobel?" asked Amethyst.
"You don't want to know." Said Nami.
There was an awkward silence, which Steven managed to break.
"So… what time do you want a party?" asked Steven.
"What?" asked Nami.
"Well I thinking we could host a party since all of you aren't brainwashed any more." Said Steven.
Everyone looked at each other.
"Steven, I don't think it's time for a party." Said Mirajane.
"Why not… I mean it's time to celebrate." Said Steven.
""It doesn't feel right." Said Mirajane.
"We shouldn't celebrate until Maxixe is completely gone." Said Robin.
"Maxixe spent three years chasing us." Said Hinata.
"She's not going to give up just yet." Said Nami.
"That's exactly why you need the party!" said Steven, "I can throw you the greatest party you ever had!"
"That's impossible." Said Robin.
"Why?" asked Steven.
"What you can't you stand a party right now." Said Amethyst.
"Well I meant that it's impossible to threw the great party I ever had." Said Robin, "After they saved me from Enies Lobby, the party that followed was so amazing that nothing can ever top it." Said Robin.
"Oh come on! I'm a party master." Said Steven.
"The party cost 100 million berries. "sighed Nami.
"100 million?" asked Steven.
"And I did the math." Said Robin with a smirk, "100 million berries is worth 1 million dollars."
"A million dollars! I can't threw a party like that!" said Steven.
"Who throws a million dollar party?" asked Amethyst.
"It started out normal but then more and more people showed up until just about the whole city was celebrating." Said Nami, "And Luffy was involved…"
"Where would you even get that money?" asked Amethyst.
"The left over money from the snake stomach." Said Nami.
"It doesn't matter! I'll give you all the best party… expect for Nami and Robin." Said Steven.
"Now's not a good time…" said Tenten.
Steven began to pout.
"Oh I got the perfect idea!" he yelled suddenly.
That was when he left
"Are you done with your waffles?" asked Mirajane.
That was when he came back before Amethyst could finish them off.
"Forgot about them." Said Steven.
Meanwhile up in the Stealth Ship.
"You two are in charge of keeping them on their toes." Said Maxixe.
"Us again all of them?" asked Eudialyte, "Please tell me you're kidding."
"Sorry but I need Danburite with me to program the new programing system." Said Maxixe, "It's far more complicated than the old one…"
"What are we going to do?" asked Amazonite.
"I have no idea, just try to avoid what happened last time. "said Maxixe, "And I'm talking to you Eudialyte."
"Oh come on it wasn't that bad." Said Eudialyte.
That was when Maxixe brought up the image of Eudialyte running away form Erza.
"Please stop that." Said Eudialyte.
"Oh I found this funny Earth song that will go great with the footage." Said Amazonite.
Amazonite fiddled with the computer and Yakety Sax started playing with the scene.
"Amazonite!" said Eudialyte.
"Amazonite… that's inappropriate." Said Maxixe who it was clear she was trying not to laugh.
Eudialyte was looked extremely embarrassment.
Maxixe sighed knowing it was partially her fault.
"Fine I give you two person." She said.
"Permission?" asked Amazonite.
"Jadeite." Said Maxixe with a smirk.
"Really?" Eudialyte.
"Jadeite! Jadeite! Jadeite!" cheered Amazonite.
"After all we need make them thing we're trying to capture still…" said Maxixe, "You don't win the fight, but you do it will be a small bonus…"
The two of them nodded.
Then Amazonite began to chant "Jadeite! Jadeite! Jadeite!"
"I think you made her day." Said Eudialyte.
Maxixe laughed, "I did…"
Back on Earth in Beach City Steven was talking to Lapis in her room.
He was sitting in a recliner she made.
"Oh man… this feels so confortable." Sid Steven.
"I thought you would like it." Laughed Lapis, "So what did want to talk about?"
"I want to give them a Surprise Party." Said Steven.
"You mean because got them all… I don't know Steven." Sighed Lapis.
"But after all they went though to get them back." Said Steven, "I mean they all had really hard times."
"Not Nami… what she had to go through didn't seem that much." Said Lapis.
"That might maybe, but they still deserve the greatest party they ever had… though second for Nami and Robin." Said Steven, "I can't afford to beat that party."
'Oh really how much money did that party cost?" asked Lapis.
"A million dollars." Answered Steven.
Lapis blinked.
"Luffy?" asked Lapis.
"Luffy." Confirmed Steven.
"I think I'm used to all stories…" said Lapis.
"Can you please help me plan a surprise party?" asked Steven.
"I don't know…" said Lapis.
Steven looked at her with his eyes sparkling.
She began to blush a little.
"Okay…" she said.
"All right!" cheered Steven.
"What was that… why did I agree." She thought while blushing.
They left the Forest Fairy for some grocery shopping.
"All right I think we should buy more cake mix, whipping cream, stuff to make sandwiches and pudding… we can buy the cinnamon rolls and Chinese food from other places." Said Steven, "I can't make any of Sakura or Mira's favorite foods and I don't know Lisanna's."
"Really?" asked Lapis.
"It never came up in conversion." Said Steven, "Yet I know all the others…"
That was when the armor started blaring.
That was when Eudialyte and Amazonite appeared on the beach.
"So it's you two." Said Eudialyte, "I guess we should wait…"
"What do you mean only us?" asked Steven.
"We're here to capture those nine and frankly you don't matter to us and…" said Eudialyte however wasn't able to finish her speech as Amazonite was running to wards inland.
"Amazonite what are you doing?" asked Eudialyte.
"You're saying that to her? She controls water!" said Amazonite.
Before Eudialyte could react hand made out of water grabbed her and three into the cliff.
"Why did you do that"! yelled Eudialyte.
"We might not be your targets, but we'll still fight you!" said Lapis.
"Great…" muttered Eudialyte.
Amazonite ran towards her.
However at the same time the others showed up.
"Oh it's only you two." Said Nami.
"Only us two?" asked Eudialyte, "Really?"
"Last time we fought all you was run away." Said Erza.
"I did! But this time is different!" said Eudialyte.
She held out her hand to Amazonite.
"Yay!" she cheered as she took it.
The started dancing.
"That's it's only those two." Said Garnet.
"They came to fusion." Said Robin.
They watched at the two fused together into a green one with apple green hair that was mostly down but had two pony tail tied into it, a high cut tank top (so it exploded her belly button) and baggy shorts.
On the space between her neck and chest there was an egg shaped jade green stone, as well a pyramid on her bellybutton.
And she had four arms.
"The name's Jadeite! And don't you forget it!" said the fusion.
They all started at Jadeite. Considering how many people they had it wouldn't be too much of a problem.
Although most of them didn't know how to fuse thanks to the fact Garnet didn't want to unleash "The Dancing Demon" onto the others.
However Mirajane knew who should be the ones to fuse.
"Hinata." Said Mirajane.
Hinata knew what she meant and nodded.
They took hands.
"Wait they know how to fuse?" asked Tenten.
"You weren't there when me and Mirajane fused." Said Nami.
"You with Mira?" asked Vivi.
"And Hinata…" said Nami.
"So should we…" said Tenten.
"Now's not a good time." Said Garnet adjusting her sunglasses.
She will prevent the Dancing Demon no matter what.
The two began to dance and soon they fused into a woman that was very tall with long white that was very start, however she still had Mirajane's forehead tail, she wore a pink top and a pair green pants. On her chest was a white opal and well on of her left hands (as she still had four arms). She also wore the Leaf Village headband around her neck and also had the Fairy Tail Symbol on one of her pant legs.
"No fair." Pouted Jadeite.
"Byakugan!" she called out.
Of course the fusion faltered a fit.
"Sorry…" she said, "It's all right, I just have to get used to it…"
"You think you can beat me! You have another thing coming!" said Jadeite.
She summoned four of her Tonfa and four of Chakram and combined them into a bladed weapon with change that was held like a tonfa.
The new fusion summoned Mirajane's gloves and put them on.
"Wait… you're going to combiner weapons?" asked Jadeite confused, "Oh well… it's your own problem…"
The fusion said nothing.
Both Nami and Lapis knew why she didn't combine weapons.
After all Hinata's true weapon was her fighting style not her weapon…
She ran towards Jadeite. To attack but Jadeite blocked with all four of her weapons.
The fusion jumped away and landed on the cliff, and stood on it.
"You can stand on the cliff! No fair!" yelled Jadeite.
She jumped from the cliff but she once again attacked with the gloves.
However Jadeite continued to block.
Jadeite managed to push the fusion away.
The fusion jumped into in the air and tried to attack Jadeite from above but Jadeite dodged and when the attack landed on the ground it created a shockwave.
It caused Steven drop the shopping list. As the list blew away it hit Sakura in the face.
"What's this... is this a shopping list?" asked Sakura.
Steven began to blush.
"Are you trying to still have the party?" asked Sakura.
"Maybe…" said Steven.
However the others didn't notice this.
"Come on Mirata! You can beat her!" cheered Lisanna.
"Mirata?" asked Pearl.
"Oh I figured that might be the best name for the fusion." Said Lisanna.
"It makes sense." Said Garnet with a shrug.
Mirata (as she was now dubbed) smiled when she head the cheering.
"What are you planning?" asked Jadeite.
Mirata smiled and performed certain hand signs.
That was when Mirata clones popped into existence.
"No fair!" cried Jadeite.
"Wait… she can clone herself?" asked Steven.
"It's basic stuff." Said Tenten with a shrug.
"Almost everyone learns that Jutsu in the academy." Explained Sakura.
Jadeite began to attack the clone however just went poof and didn't do anything.
"Oh I forgot they weren't solid." Laughed Jadeite who suddenly had an eye tick, "Seriously?"
However she wasn't expecting a sharp blow from behind. That was when she lost control of her arms. She turned around to see that Mirata was standing behind her.
"No fair!" yelled Jadeite.
"It is…" said Mirata rather meekly, "it's just I'm just stronger than you…"
Jadeite began to pout.
That was when Mirata hit the space in-between the two gemstones.
Jadeite saw that she was coming undone.
"OH! No fair!" she shouted before coming undone.
With that both Eudialyte and Amazonite fell to the ground.
Both of them looked at Mirata.
"We need to retreat now!" said Eudialyte.
"Okay!" said Amazonite.
Both of them suddenly vanished.
"What…" said Amethyst.
"They just gnashed." Said Vivi.
Mirata breathed a sigh of relief.
"That wasn't as bad I thought…" as she began to fiddle with her fingers.
She then un-fused.
Steven breathed a sigh if relief.
"Seriously! Steven, see we can't relax yet." Said Sakura, "I mean look what just happened."
"What's going on?" asked Pearl.
"Steven wants to throw a party but none of them want it because they still have to be on their toes or something like that." Said Amethyst.
"They just showed us we can't relax." Said Sakura.
"Maybe we should get a chance." Said Mirajane, "I was thinking we should have a small beach party…"
"What changed your mind?" asked Erza.
"It's been kind of boring…" admitted Mirajane.
"Yeah just worrying about them attacking and not worrying about trying to get them just seems different." Said Nami.
"So maybe if we have a small party and not try to make it the best party we ever had would probably be better." Said Mirajane.
"All right!" cheered Steven.
"Wait this shopping list..,." said Sakura, "Why aren't the incidents of my favorite food on the list?"
"I don't know how to make any of it." Admitted Steven, "Also what's Lisanna's… I honestly don't know…"
And so they began to plan small beach party.
Meanwhile e both Eudialyte and Amazonite both got back to the Gem Ship.
"How was it?" asked Maxixe.
"Whiny as usual…" sighed Eudialyte.
"You ended up complain about how things were no fair?" asked Maxixe.
The two nodded.
"Anyways I have good news, thanks to Danburite's skills at programing it should take much sooner than my initial prediction." Said Maxixe.
"Wait then you mean…" said Amazonite.
"An earth day… two at most." Said Maxixe.
Both of them were surprised.
"We will end sooner than we initially thought." Said Maxixe with an evil smirk.
And soon Maxixe's would be ready… and who knows what was going to happen from that point on…
Next Time: They're planning their big party and Steven can't wait for it... however Maxixe enacts her plan... what is her plan? Find out next time!
