A somber melody was being played on an organ, Madara's organ. She played through sorrow and rage as her ship, The Perfect Susanoo blasts through a band of five pirate ships. They tried their best to do any kind of damage to the ship but it repaired itself, so long as there is a captain for the ship.

It was a blood bath, bodies, debris, splinters were flying everywhere. The Susanoo's cannons never stopped firing until there were no more screams, that was what Madara's orders were for her crew.

Kaguya sat at her desk on her new ship, The HMS Expansive Truthseeker. Kaguya's men moved and shifted small ships along a map, signifying changes in position and or loss of ships. Kaguya herself was messing with a coin next to the chest holding Madara's heart. She stared at the coin, "A piece of eight. Nine of them, you say."

Mr. Danzo stepped toward Kaguya's desk, "Our new friend in Kumo was very specific, ma'am. Nine pieces of eight."

"What's the significance of that, I wonder."

"Does it matter? There's nothing can hold against the armada. Not with The Susanoo at the lead."

"Nothing that we know of."

Danzo shut up really quickly from that, he hadn't thought of some outside magic that could disrupt their plans.

"Did your friend mention where the Brethren Court are meeting?" Kaguya asked.

"She was mum on that, ma'am."

"Hmm. Then she knows the value of information. Better keep this between ourselves. We don't want anyone running off to Kumo, do we?" Kaguya's attention was then taken to her youngest son dawning his admiral uniform, "Ah, Tobirama."

He sighed, "You summoned me, mother."

"Your station deserves an old friend. Something for you there." She pointed to a long black case.

Tobirama walked to the case and opened it. It was the sword Obito Uchiha made for his ascension to admiral. He looked at it with pride, then sadness as he remembered that he betrayed his brother and left Kakashi and Obito to fend for themselves.

Governor Namikaze sat at his desk in the corner, he was just handed another stack of papers. Minato sighed, "Not more requisition orders."

The man who handed him the papers replied, "No, sir. Execution."

Minato's eyes went wide, he hated being involved with deaths at the request of Kaguya. He heard Tobirama unsheathe his old blade, reminding him that they once stood for something good but now they were serving something that corrupted their purpose.

Kaguya spoke, "The Brethren know they face extinction. All that remains is for them to decide where they make their final stand."

Minato and Tobirama shared a look of shame between the two.

In the snowy Antarctica, Tenzo's ship sailed between glaciers and icebergs. Some people weren't affected by the cold atmosphere and others...

Nagato sat next to Yahiko as they shivered together, "No one said anything about cold." Nagato said through his chattering teeth.

"I'm sure there must be a good reason for our suffering," Yahiko said trying to expend as little body heat as he could.

"Why don't that witch bring Hashi back the same way she brought back Zabuza?"

Konan overheard Nagato and answered, "Because Zabuza was only dead. Hashi Sparrow is taken, body and soul, to a place not of death, but punishment. The worst fate a person can bring upon himself... ...stretching on forever. That's what awaits at Madara Uchiha's locker." She said with venom toward Nagato.

"Yeah. I knew there was a good reason." Yahiko said.

Elsewhere on the ship one of Tenzo's men was trying to warm up his foot with his hand but broke his toe off from frostbite.

Obito and Tenzo were working on the chart map, the map consisted of rings that could move to suit your destination. Obito shuddered as he moved rings, "Nothing here is set. These can't be as accurate as modern charts."

"No. But it leads to more places." Tenzo said.

Obito finally saw legible words, "Over the edge, over again. Sunrise sets, flash of green."

They rushed their findings to Zabuza, after inspecting the chart he stared at Obito and Tenzo.

Obito asked, "Do you care to interpret, Captain Zabuza?"

"Ever gazed upon the green flash, Master Sarutobi?" He turned to Saru who was looking over the starboard side.

"I reckon I seen my fair share. Happens on rare occasion. The last glimpse of sunset, a green flash shoots up into the sky. Some go their whole lives without ever seeing it. Some claim to have seen it who ain't. And some say..."

"It signals when a soul comes back to this world from the dead," Nagato said with a smile on his face, before seeing the nasty look Sarutobi gave him. "Sorry."

Zabuza handed the charts back to Obito, "Trust me, young Master Uchiha. It's not getting to the land of the dead that's the problem. It's getting back." He got onto the helm to guide them into a dark icy cave before darkness engulfed them.

Kaguya looked over the starboard railing with an eyeglass to look at the wreckage of Madara's carnage, "Bloody hell. There's nothing left." She saw fire and blood on the five shipwrecks before collapsing her eyeglass.

"Madara is a loose cannon, ma'am." Mr. Danzo said with his hoarse voice.

"Fetch the chest."

"And the governor? He's been asking questions about the heart."

"Does he know?" Kaguya asked before Danzo stared at her with a less-than-satisfactory look. Kaguya sighed, "Then perhaps his usefulness has run its course. Do not speak a word about this to Admiral Uzumaki."

As Madara continued to play her organ she heard her music box play, she picked it up and held it. As the music box stopped she felt something along her cheek, she touched it and saw with her own eyes that she had shed a tear. This enraged Madara, she already cast out her own heart why was she still feeling? What was causing her such anguish? Was it the death of her pet, the Kraken? No. She hadn't cared enough for it. So what could it have been? Madara screamed in frustration. She grabbed a knife that was sheathed on her belt and threw it next to the doorway. The knife was embedded into the wall, courtesy of Madara's inhuman strength.

Kisame walked into her cabin and noticed the knife in the doorway, "You're angrier than usual, what's wrong?"

Madara looked at Kisame with anger, not because of anything he did, he was just there. Her anger dissipated and she sighed, "I feel something. Something aching my soul."

Kisame walked up to Madara as she sat on her chair, "I've been your second for a long time, and I've not seen you this way once."

Madara was silent, she was thinking on why she was feeling this way.

Kisame tried voicing Madara's thoughts, "I think you're in such distress because it has been one year since Hashi Sparrow died."

Madara looked at him with sorrow in her blood-red eyes, "I do not care for Hashirama anymore."

Kisame motioned toward her knife, "Really? Then why keep his gifts? He gave you that necklace you keep around your neck before that Royal ball. He gave you that music box before you parted, before you agreed to be the ferryman, before that day at the lighthouse, before the day you cast out your own heart."

"Enough!" She screamed. Madara turned away, "Hashirama has done a lot of things to me in my life. The most recent of which being that I am a prisoner to that witch. I'm glad that he's suffering for the rest of eternity, an eye for an eye." She walked over to the doorway to grab her knife and sheath it again. "Speak nothing of this." She sighed, "Come. I sense the witch's presence. The less I have to deal with her and her oafs the better."

Kaguya's men swarmed the deck of The Perfect Susanoo, they stood up straight with their rifles pointing upward. The men were fearful as the ship's crew appeared through the walls and stopped any further advancement. Sasori and Deidara were among the soldiers, they remembered the Fire Shadow's crew being scary but these guys were on a completely different scale. Tobirama saw the two full of fear, "Steady, men."

Lieutenant Gai followed behind him, holding the chest. Their path to the Captain's quarters was blocked by the fish crew.

Madara pushed her way to the front and saw the chest holding her heart, "Go. All of you. And take that infernal thing with you. I will not have it on my ship!"

Kaguya appeared from the crowd of her soldiers, "Oh, I'm sorry to hear that... because I will."

Madara quirked her head in disgust toward Kaguya.

She stepped closer to Madara, "Because it seems to be the only way to ensure that this ship do as directed by the company." She motioned for Tobirama and Gai to head toward the Captain's quarters, which they did. "We need prisoners to interrogate, which tends to work best when they're alive."

Madara tried her best not to look Kaguya in the eyes, "The Susanoo sails as its captain commands."

"And its captain is to sail it as commanded," Kaguya said with venom.

Madara now stared at Kaguya, oh how she wished that she could grab her by the throat and see the life drain from her eyes.

Kaguya stepped forward and almost whispered, "I would have thought you'd learned that when I ordered you to kill your pet. This is no longer your world, Uchiha. The immaterial has become... immaterial."

Tenzo's ship now sailed in a void where the stars were reflected off of the water, it would have been romantic if it were under better circumstances. Kakashi stared at the water, mesmerized by the stars. Obito walked up to her, "How long do we continue not talking about the elephant in the room?"

Kakashi had a pained expression as she turned back to the water, "Once we rescue Hashi, everything'll be fine."

Obito wanted to talk about how Tobirama's betrayal was affecting her, "I know you care about your father, but can you truly be alright knowing that you or I will cross blades with him soon enough?"

Kakashi seemed saddened by his question and ran off. Obito sighed to himself, "Looks like you blew it again, Obito." He looked off at the water, the fog lifted and Obito noticed something startling. A waterfall. He ran from the stern to the helm on the other end of the ship. "Zabuza, ahead!" He shouted.

Zabuza who was already on the helm looked at Obito without a second thought, "Aye, we're good and lost now."

Obito was confused by his answer as the rest of the group stood around Zabuza.

"Lost!?" Kakashi asked.

"For certain you have to be lost to find a place as can't be found. Elseways, everyone would know where it was." Zabuza replied.

Sarutobi looked over the rail, "We're gaining speed."

"Aye." Zabuza smiled.

Obito in a panic began giving orders, "To stations! All hands-on stations! Rudder full. Hard aport! Gather way." Tenzo's crew listened to Obito.

Zabuza shouted, "Nay! Belay that! Let her run straight and true!" Tenzo's crew stopped at Zabuza's word because he was the captain of the ship now.

Yahiko stared at the waterfall from the stern, "Blimey."

Kakashi turned around from the rail and stared at Zabuza, "You've doomed us all."

Zabuza walked up to her and held onto a rope as tight as he could with his left hand, "Don't be so unkind. You may not survive to pass this way again, and these be the last friendly words you'll hear." He tried touching Kakashi's face with his right hand. Kakashi turned back to the waterfall and rushed for anything she could hold onto.

Everyone else rushed and scattered around searching for something, anything to hold onto before they met the edge. Konan was not like everyone as she was conjuring some kind of voodoo spell with a crab leg and hermit crab shells.

As the ship was falling over the edge all that could be heard were screams of terror and the cackling of Captain Zabuza, "Hahaha!" He enjoyed the thrill of worrying for his life once again, he was numb for ninety years. It's the little things that count.
