Nexus HWR 1.7 Nuts:
"I don't want to hear it!" Sora yelled, his mouth twisted into a deep frown as he glared at the girl in front of him. "You think Natsu and Luffy are stronger than me!" The boy with brown spiky hair snarled at his girlfriend.
Kairi looked a little surprised, but then the corners of her mouth dipped down and her eyes narrowed at her boyfriend. "Well what was with you yesterday?" She asked accusingly, making the boy lean back in surprise. "When we went for the swim off the last island, you were totally checking out Nami and Robin!"
"Was not!" Sora yelled back at her, his hands balling into fists.
Kairi humphed and turned around, walking towards the door, "If you like big tits that much go ask one of them to be your girlfriend." She reached the door and stepped through.
The boy still in the room glared after her and took a step towards the door. Who the hell does she think she is? I'm the fucking Keyblade Master! he took another step and some darkness seeped out of the bottom of his shoe. One more step was taken before Sora's eyes widened and he froze in place, "Wait," he whispered. "Kairi I-" What the hell was I saying? I don't usually, get mad...
"Sora!" someone yelled in the doorway. The teen snapped his head up and saw Riku storming into the room. "What did you do?! I just saw Kairi and she looked pretty sad."
"Good," the other boy in the room responded. Sora took a step forward while glaring into Riku's eyes, "Now move out of my way." Riku was shocked. He stared at Sora blankly for a few seconds as the brown haired teen walked towards him. Sora shoved him out of the way and walked into the hall.
The spiky brown haired teen looked down the hallway and everything started swirling around. Sora lifted his right hand to the side of his head and grabbed it as he walked down the hall. Riku leaned back out the door behind him and watched as Sora stumbled to the side and used his left hand to steady himself on the wall. The brown haired boy regained his footing and clenched down on the wood his hand was resting on, crunching the wall and getting splinters stuck in his hand.
The boy with long silver hair almost down to his waist was confused, he had no idea what was going on. Things seemed weird at breakfast too, not just between the two of them... but-
"Damn it Juvia!" a voice yelled from the other side of the hall than Riku was on. "Lunch isn't ready until I say it is! Now get out of the kitchen!" The silver haired teen staring down the hall was shocked to hear Sanji talking to a woman like that. He saw the door open and a panicked Juvia getting shoved out of the kitchen, but when the door opened the teen's eyes widened even more. There was food all over the place, some of it smeared on the wall writing out the words, 'All Blue Is A Lie.' The chef had a knife in his hand and glared out the door as it slowly shut behind Juvia.
Riku shook his head and ran down the hallway. He leaned down and Juvia looked up at him before taking his hand. "J-Juvia is sorry," the girl whispered as her eyes started watering. "J-Juvia j-just wanted to see what was for lunch," the blue haired girl sounded on the verge of sobbing.
"No," Riku said, grabbing her by the shoulders, "you did nothing wrong." The two of them heard a loud crash coming from outside and they snapped their heads the direction of the noise at the same time. "That sounded like it came from the main deck," Riku said. "Let's go around to go out there," he suggested, seeing as they had to go through the kitchen for the most direct route.
The girl next to him nodded, before her eyes narrowed and she spun around. "I don't see why we have to," she stated confidently. Juvia lifted up her arms and Riku's eyes widened as she released two jets of water that slammed into the kitchen door and slammed it down. Sanji was no longer on the other side though, leaving the kitchen empty with the stove on.
Juvia looked disappointed for a second that she didn't get the fight she wanted, and then her eyes widened. "Wh-What?" She looked down at her hands confused, wondering what came over her.
Riku ran past the shocked woman and over to the stove that he turned off before the food on top of it burst into flames. The tall, silver haired teen stared at the girl for a few seconds, then said sternly, "Juvia." The magician snapped her head up with an afraid look on her face. "Something's going on here, I need you to try and stay calm since it doesn't look like it's hit you hard yet."
"What's happening?" the girl whispered over to him.
He looked at the door leading outside and muttered, "Let's find out." The girl behind him walked over and Riku lowered his hand to the handle. He turned it and pushed open the door before stepping outside. He and Juvia walked out onto the deck, and they looked over the railing at the main grass area.
There was madness on the ship. "It's my gun!" Timmy yelled as he ran away with it, Natsu chasing after him. Near them, Usopp was holding Luffy back as the captain tried diving off the side of the ship after a "sparkly-thing" he saw on the water.
"You can't swim idiot!" Usopp yelled at the rubberman. Eh, what do I care? Usopp started to let go, but when his right hand slipped out of Luffy's shirt he grabbed tighter with his left. The sharpshooter panicked and grabbed back on, pulling Luffy back over the edge where the two of them fell and tumbled across the grass.
"Usopp you idiot! Now it's gone!" Luffy yelled as he stood up. The pirate captain in a straw hat punched down at the man with a long nose and Usopp barely rolled out of the way in time. The fist hit the floor and obviously wasn't a playful punch by the sound of creaking wood after he finished his attack.
"Don't hurt my ship Mugiwara!" a voice shouted from above them. They looked up and Usopp dove out of the way right before a large robot would have landed on top of him. Cyborg Franky landed right on top of Luffy and the rubberman flattened to the floor with his shipwright on top of him.
"FRANKY!" Luffy yelled, pushing up so hard that the robot got sent flying high. The cyborg lifted high enough that he knocked into the boom before falling back down. When he hit the boom though, he woke up the sleeping man lying on it.
Goku sat up from where he was laying and yawned. "Hmm?" the Saiyan mumbled, feeling some distressed ki's right below him. The spiky haired man looked down as he stood up, then hopped off the wooden boom of the mast. He looked over at the door to the kitchen where he could smell some good food scents, but instead he saw Riku and Juvia looking unnerved. He looked beneath him to where he felt the distressed ki's, and then had to swerve out of the way as Timmy Turner started firing the weapon in his hand up in the air.
The spiky haired man in an orange gi looked up at the sky where the beam from Timmy's attack popped open like a firework. Each explosion was a beautiful display of lights, but after a few seconds the lights sucked in to individual points. After the lights were gone from that single point for a second, something new exploded out from those points: little black swirling holes in the sky. Goku could feel the black holes pulling him towards them as they each widened.
"Nami!" Riku shouted, also seeing the black holes. "Change our course!"
"I'm the navigator!" she yelled back. "I already started doing that, you don't need to tell me what my freaking job is!" The orange haired woman up at the wheel was shouting so loud that the woman lying near her reading a book put it down angrily. Nico Robin lifted her head and glared at the navigator who opened her mouth to scream again. The older woman lifted a hand and two arms appeared on the sides of Nami's head, covering her mouth with their hands.
The younger woman panicked at the hands coming out of her head and began muffled shouting that no one could understand with her mouth being covered by Robin's new hands.
Riku looked around as everything started getting worse. Small conflicts were getting larger as Natsu started going after the black hole gun with a higher intensity. Timmy was just as selfish as before though and wouldn't let the Dragon Slayer use the weapon, but now he'd resorted to pointing it at the pink haired boy and threatening him with it.
"ESUNA!" a voice yelled.
Every single person on the deck looked over to the source of the loud voice. It came from on top of the kitchen's roof, from the boy with spiky brown hair who had his Keyblade lifted above his head. Above the ship, a yellow orb appeared. The orb shattered into ten swirling yellow orbs that spread out and started circling around the top of the mast.
Sora's magic started descending, casting the entire ship in a golden glow until the small balls themselves split apart. Little lights of yellow seeped into the crew, and one by one every person started rubbing their heads in confusion.
Luffy unclenched his fist and rubbed his head with his right hand, but he felt his left hand clenched on something. He looked down at a man with a long nose staring at him in fear, and then back to the hand he originally had clenched held up above Usopp. "What the-" Luffy let go of his nakama and took a few steps back.
The teen on top of the kitchen sighed in relief, glad the magic worked as well for the rest of them as it did for him. "Alright," Sora called out, "Esuna magic heals status effects, so whatever had everyone... confused," he said, as he didn't have a better word for what was just happening, "hopefully it's all better now."
"Hmm," Goku mumbled loudly, scratching his chin while he did. "That seemed like something that happened in Pao a little while back."
Natsu and Juvia's eyes widened and they looked at each other. "Uh oh," the two of them muttered. Riku looked at the girl next to him, who now looked a lot more nervous than a few seconds ago. Her eyes widened even more though as she exclaimed, "Where is Gray-sama?!"
Everyone looked around the deck, but actually there were quite a few people missing. Timmy looked at the gun in his hand, and his eyes widened that he was playing around with such a powerful weapon. The boy opened up the infinite sack on his back and slid the gun into it, before looking around with everyone else at who was missing from the deck.
"Kairi's not out here," Riku said to the younger Keyblade wielder who dropped down next to him and Juvia outside the kitchen.
"Neither are Ben or Dash," Riku muttered, looking at the kitchen door behind him. "You think the effects of the Esuna reached them inside?" The silver haired teen asked his friend.
Sora thought about it for a second, but it didn't seem likely so he shook his head. They heard someone shout from behind them again, "Well that's some great magic you have there if it can't even cover the whole Sunny Go!"
Everyone on the deck spun to see Franky standing there with wide eyes. He lifted up his right hand and covered his mouth, but it was clear what had happened. Usopp backed up so he was up against the railing, "It isn't gone yet!" He exclaimed.
"Looks like your magic is only temporary," Riku muttered to his friend next to him.
"No need to point out the obvious dumb-ass-" Sora tried catching himself by lifting up his hands to cover his mouth, but the words were already out. He lowered them after Riku looked towards him and the younger teen mumbled, "Sorry."
"It's alright," Riku told his best friend. He spun back to the floating Saiyan above the deck. "How did you stop it last time?"
Goku chuckled and said, "Gohan came up with a remedy for it. He called it a cont-a-gious disease." The man had to sound out the word to get it right but smiled that no one corrected him. He continued, "Only me, Vegeta, and the boys weren't affected by it, so we tied everyone else up until Gohan finished making it."
"Those were a rough two days," Natsu mumbled, not liking the memory of it. "I thought we were cured though," he called up to Goku again, wondering why it was affecting him even though he already used the cure.
The muscular man above shrugged, not having any idea what Gohan did back then that fixed everyone up. "Hey Goku," Riku started, "could you go get some of that medicine?" The silver haired teen was looking around and he could see the others around them starting to get restless. "I think we're going to need it."
"Esuna," Sora whispered, casting the spell over himself again and calming down once again. He was about to use it again for everyone else, but Riku grabbed him by the wrist.
The two teens looked at each other and Sora thought the older boy might have been falling to the sickness as well. Riku saw the concern in his friend's eyes so he shook his head, "I don't feel the effects. Sora, you need to save your magical power." Sora tilted his head confused and Riku continued, "I don't know the magic you just used, so our whole ship is relying on you right now."
Sora looked back ahead of him where Goku was talking to Timmy and everyone else was trying to stay calm. The brown haired teen gulped and nodded, knowing what Riku meant. "I need to use it on people who need it more," Sora said.
Before Riku could respond, they saw Goku lift up high in the air. The Saiyan waved down to his friends on the ship before flying away in a blur of white light. Timmy T. looked back below him at the crowd of people looking up. "Alright, he said he'll be back as soon as he can. Until he returns we have to try not to kill each other."
"Timmy, you're in charge of watching everyone up here," Riku called to the boy.
Natsu and Luffy turned up towards Riku and both of them said together, "Ehh?" Then, they each turned towards the other who thought they should be in charge up here. "What are you 'ehh-ing' about?" the shouted at each other while pointing angrily.
"Idiots!" Nami yelled at the two of them, dropping down from the bow to punch on top of Luffy's head. The rubber pirate reached up and grabbed Nami's fist before it hit him on the head, surprising the orange haired navigator. He looked up slowly and glared at the woman, before instantly losing his glare at the scared look in her eyes.
The pirate let go of her fist and stumbled backwards, but then had to duck as a flaming fist was about to slam into his head. "Natsu!" Juvia yelled at the Dragon Slayer.
"Where do you get off," Natsu started, turning his head towards Luffy after he landed. "Telling me what to do?" the Dragon Slayer finished, growling at the pirate who called himself their 'Captain.'
"This is my ship," Luffy growled back, earning a low growl behind him. He turned and saw Franky clenching his large metal fists. The rubber pirate lifted up his hands, challenging the older cyborg if he wanted to fight.
"This is worse than I thought," Riku whispered as he saw them trying to fight again.
"Why am I in charge?" Timmy yelled frustratedly down at the silver haired teen. "Why put the youngest in charge of anything?!"
"Because you're the strongest one out here," Riku yelled back at the small child. "And we're heading inside the cabin," he motioned at himself and Sora. "The others haven't had any of Sora's Esuna yet, so they could be at each other's throats as we speak."
"Esuna!" Sora shouted, lifting up his hand again where a Keyblade formed and released the golden light around everyone on the deck again.
Riku turned to his friend angrily, "I said-"
"I know," Sora replied, "but it was already wearing off." The younger teen didn't wait for Riku to scold him further and he spun around. "We need to go get Kairi."
"Juvia is coming with you," the blue haired girl next to them stated firmly.
Riku wanted to argue with her that she would start going nuts while they were inside, but they just didn't have the time. "Alright, let's go," he stated, pushing back open the door to the kitchen.
It hadn't been five minutes since they left the kitchen, but after opening the door it looked like a tornado had come through while they were gone. "How did we not hear this happening?" Riku mumbled as he looked at the splintered walls, overturned table, and destroyed chairs around the dining room.
"Who do you think did this?" Juvia whispered.
Sora stared at the ceiling and pointed his hand up at it, "I'll give you three guesses."
The other two looked up where he was pointing and stared at the words drawn on the ceiling in ketchup and mustard. "DASH WAS HERE," Riku read out loud, stepping out of the way as a drop of ketchup from the D in DASH dripped off the ceiling.
"Where do you think he is now?" Juvia whispered.
Riku looked around, but it didn't seem like the boy was in there moving too fast for them to see. "We have to be careful," he whispered, "now let's go." He jogged forward while keeping his footsteps soft each time his foot hit the ground. Juvia and Sora followed behind him, trying to stay focused despite the nagging pulls telling them to go insane.
Why is it I'm the only one not feeling the insanity? Riku thought to himself as they entered a hallway, one that looked just as bad as the dining room. Somehow someone had gotten a mattress in the hallway, and nailed it partially to the ceiling. Why would someone even do that? This is nuts, but I really don't feel any different than usual. "It's because of me." Ansem? "Whatever antidote that half-Saiyan boy came up with obviously wasn't as effective as the one the doctors in the NEG developed. His was a temporary medicine, while ours was a vaccine. We had a cure for it." Why didn't you say anything before? "We destroyed most of Metropolis, remember? Chances are the doctors didn't make more of the vaccine yet since it was effective enough that no more cases have come up. Unfortunately, none of the people on this ship were vaccinated." Shit! So you're saying we were vaccinated? I didn't remember... "You were far gone at that point." And whose fault is that? "Don't make me regret helping you, boy." Riku paused and sighed, You're right. Thanks.
"Riku?" Sora asked the taller teen in front of him who stopped walking.
"It's nothing," Riku responded, just hoping that Goku would be back with more medicine as soon as possible. "Let's check this room," he pushed open the door on his left and his eyes went wide.
Sora and Juvia saw Riku freeze in the doorway and his eyes turn huge. They each ran forward, despite Riku turning to them and yelling for them to stop. The other two pushed into the room and stared forward, expecting to see someone killing someone else. As it turned out, the insanity took different forms.
Sora and Juvia each slowly lowered their jaws as they stared at the two in front of them. Gray stood there midway through taking off his shirt and Kairi stood in front of him with an expression full of lust. The girl turned towards the door and saw Sora's face, before giggling like mad. "Hehehehe," Kairi lifted up her right hand to her mouth before laughing insanely with her head tilted back.
Gray got his shirt off and took a step towards the auburn haired laughing girl, when they both heard the scream of rage at the door. They turned to the doorway and saw Juvia with her eyes on fire, her mouth opened wide with sharp teeth, looking much more insane than either of them. Her body exploded into a pillar of water with her head at the top looking absolutely furious.
"Esuna," Sora called out towards Juvia. "It didn't work!" the Keyblade wielder exclaimed.
"That's because it's not the madness," Riku yelled back at his friend, having noticed how much Juvia was obsessed with Gray. That it was to this point still surprised him a little bit though.
"YOU WILL NOT STEAL GRAY-SAMA!" the girl roared.
"What was that? Bitch!" Kairi yelled back at Juvia, her mouth turning into a snarl.
An explosion blew up the wall next to them and everyone spun to see a six foot wide, eight foot tall, white and yellow creature with rounded sides and head. Its eyes were green and there was the little green symbol on his forehead that Riku recognized, along with the creature itself. "Ben!" the older boy shouted at his friend who had turned into an alien.
"WHAT'S WITH ALL THE NOISE IN HERE?!" Cannonbolt shouted, before curling up in a large ball that spun around violently before rolling forward. Everyone dove out of the way and Ben kept rolling until he slammed into a wall and bounced off.
"Out of the room!" Riku shouted as Ben bounced around like a pinball.
"I've got this," Sora yelled out. He lifted up his Keyblade to use Esuna, when Kairi dove at his chest and pushed him to the floor.
The girl looked down into Sora's eyes with an animalistic rage, and then she slammed her lips down on his. Sora dropped his Keyblade from the sudden shock, and then Cannonbolt (Ben's alien form) slammed into the two of them and knocked them tumbling across the floor.
"Sora! Kairi!" Riku shouted over at his friends. He turned the other way and saw a pillar of water get frozen, and then a dozen spears of ice to shoot out of it towards the blue haired girl who made the pillar. Gray leapt up on top of the pillar and started shouting something, before the pillar beneath him was broken by Cannonbolt rolling right through it.
"This is nuts," the silver haired teen muttered, running over and grabbing Sora, and shaking him around a little when he got to him. "Sora, come on Sora," Riku yelled down at him. The brown haired boy opened up his eyes with a low moan.
Sora hopped up to his feet as he realized where he was. He felt dizzy from trying to take most of Ben's attack at the last second when he saw it coming, to protect the girl who was on top of him at the time. "Esuna!" he shouted, lifting his hands and forming his Keyblade, using the magic at the same time over a larger area.
Golden light filled the room and all the people inside stopped what they were currently doing. Juvia had a ball of boiling water in her hand, with her hand a few inches away from Gray's face, while the ice wizard held a large blade of ice inches away from Juvia's chest. The two of them went wide-eyed and dropped the magical attacks in their hands.
"Gray-sama, Juvia is so sorry," the girl started crying on the spot that she would attack her Gray.
Gray was just as flabbergasted, having no idea what was happening. He rubbed the side of his head and then snapped over to the wall where Sora was standing, Kairi at his feet. The storage room was a mess with a broken wall leading into the bedroom on the other side. Gray stared at the auburn haired teen at Sora's feet who... I almost. Me and her... he shivered as he felt a pair of eyes glaring into him and he looked up a little to see Sora hadn't lowered his Keyblade yet. The brown haired teen was glaring so intensely at Gray that the ice wizard subconsciously took a step back.
Sora took a step towards him, but then felt a hand on his right shoulder. He spun around angrily, but his expression softened as he saw Riku shaking his head. "Crap, you're right," he mumbled, rubbing his own head. "Let's go to the next room."
Riku nodded and then looked back in the room. Ben flashed green and he turned back into a normal child wearing green sweatpants and a white t-shirt. "What's happening?" Ben asked, looking around in confusion at why he was acting so nuts.
The older boy who travelled with Ben for the first few months on Nexus shook his head and started, "It's hard to explain now. Get up to the deck and hopefully the guys up there haven't gotten back to the point you were all at a minute ago." Riku turned to Juvia and continued, "You going with them?"
She stared at Gray for a second more, wanting to go with him. But, if Juvia was going to hurt Gray-sama, the one she loves most in the world, then the others are in danger too. The blue haired girl looked back over at Riku, "Juvia would like to keep going with you."
"Alright," Riku nodded. He turned to Gray and stated loudly, "Go! Get to the deck!"
"Don't tell me what-" Gray started, then realized he shouldn't be arguing this much. He shook his head quickly and then nodded, "Let's go," he said, glancing over at Ben.
They started running out of the room, and Sora looked down to see if Kairi would be going with them. Although he took most of Ben's blow, it looked like she still couldn't handle it completely as she lay there breathing slowly. It looked like she was out cold, and Sora didn't want to leave her here.
"She'll be fine," Riku assured his friend. Sora looked up at him, then nodded. The two of them ran through the hole Ben blasted in the wall and they entered the guys' room, Juvia right behind them. There were hammocks all over the place, most of them on the ground and ripped up to shreds. Some were on fire, blue fire.
"Guess that guy with the sword is in here," Riku muttered, not really knowing the guy all too well. "Okumura Rin. He is strong." Ansem spoke to him in his mind and Riku did somewhat recall capturing the boy using his Heartless army and turning him into one himself. "We have to be careful," Riku told the others, "this guy is actually pretty powerful."
As soon as the words were out of Riku's mouth, a crater blasted in the floor in front of them. It was a good thing Franky used only the best materials for the ship or it would be falling apart already. The Adam's Wood and other woods he used from Nexus trees were strong, but even so, when the dust settled the three teens looked at the splintered planks in front of them with a moaning teen in the middle. Juvia's eyes widened and she whispered, "He's the powerful guy?" she asked, afraid of whatever did this to him.
Riku snapped his head around, looking for the source of what did this to Rin. The teen lying on the ground had blue flames simmering around him, pointy ears and a long demonic tail, but when he tried lifting back up his head, he was sent flying across the room into another wall which he broke through this time out into the hallway.
A few feet in front of them, a small boy was now standing with his leg outstretched in a kick where Rin was just lying. Riku's eyes widened the most of the three of them as Dash slowly turned his way. "Hey Riku," the boy said, before laughing like a crazy person and sprinting towards them, then going right between Riku's legs and into the last room they were in. By the time Riku turned around, Dash had vanished, escaping somewhere else where they couldn't see him.
All of a sudden the group heard crashing from up above. "He must be on the deck," Sora stated, getting ready to run up there.
"No," Riku grabbed his friend by the hand, making Sora spin around and glare at him harshly. "Me and Juvia will go up there. You won't be able to hit Dash with your magic, he's too fast. Find the others down here. Kirito and Sanji haven't been cured once yet, who knows how bad it is for them."
"Stop telling me what to do!" Sora yelled, swinging his right arm across his body. His Keyblade formed in mid-swipe and Riku jumped backwards, but still got slashed across the body and sent sprawling backwards in pain. The boy with spiky brown hair started laughing and he turned his Kingdom Key in his own hands a few times, admiring the weapon.
"Water Lock!" Juvia exclaimed, holding up her hands towards the teen. Sora turned her way, but before he could say anything, his body was engulfed by a ball of water.
Riku jogged back in the room to see Sora swipe his Keyblade from inside Juvia's Water Lock and break the ball apart. The younger boy walked towards her with his weapon raised, and Juvia clenched her eyes shut. She waited for him to bring the weapon down, but then Sora called out, "Esuna."
Juvia snapped her eyes open as the two of them were wrapped in golden light. Riku sighed in relief but frowned as he saw Sora start panting after he and Juvia calmed down. "Sora," he started.
"I know I know," the other boy responded, stopping his pants of exhaustion to make himself look alright to his friend. "You two head up to the deck." He started running away from the two he left in the room, shaking his head of the dark thoughts that just inhabited his mind.
Riku watched Sora go, and then he turned around to Juvia, nodding at her for them to get up to the deck to check on everyone and try to stop Dash. Sora was running back down the hallway towards a new door, but he realized something as he ran, thinking about the two they hadn't found yet. Oh crap, there're three. I was forgetting about that white haired kid. Now he needed to find Sanji, Kirito, and the strange kid with white spiky hair who stayed on his own most of the time. Goku, we really need you to get back here soon.
PAO TOWN
"Well," Goku stated to himself, floating a hundred feet above the town beneath him. "This is bad," he said, actually floating between different plumes of gray smoke. Looking down at the burning village beneath him, he felt out hundreds of distressed ki's.
A figure with glowing gold hair was flying up towards him and Goku smiled seeing who it was, "Hi son!" The Saiyan exclaimed, a wide smile on his face.
"Dad! I'm glad you're here," Gohan told his father. The half-Saiyan had to rush around all over the place to stop everyone so there was no choice but to go Super. "The medicine I created for the madness-"
"It stopped being effective," Goku finished for his son. Gohan went wide-eyed wondering how Goku knew, then his eyes widened even more as he realized it.
"Natsu and Juvia?" Gohan asked.
"Yep," Goku replied, "and everyone else too. It spread just as fast as last time."
"Well I'm trying hard to make some more of the old medicine, but I can't do that while stopping everyone from killing each other! And Vegeta shot across the continent to go find Laxus who we felt going crazy. No one else would be able to stop him if he really blows a fuse, and who knows who else he's infecting wherever he is on his current job." Gohan looked at his dad sternly, "I need you to stay here and help me."
Goku looked behind him where he could feel the ship he was traveling on still. The Saiyan looked hesitant, but Gohan shouted at him, "There are hundreds more people here, thousands if this gets out of hand. The ship is isolated, think about what's more important!"
Goku frowned deeper, not liking to make hard decisions like these. Then, the Saiyan's hair shot up in a single spike above his head, glowing gold. "Alright," Goku relented, "but make your medicine quickly. I'll start tying everyone up."
"Thanks!" Gohan replied, already flying back down towards their house so he could get started as quick as possible. "It won't take as long this time. I already know the ingredients, so it should only take an hour or two to get enough for everyone."
"Well an hour is better than two days," Goku said, smiling despite the situation at the one bit of good news. He felt people fighting down below and was going to go tie them up, but he looked back over his shoulder first. Sorry guys, I'll be back with the medicine as soon as Gohan makes some more. Hold on without me for a little.
Thousand Sunny
"Anyone in here?" Sora asked, opening up the door into the bottom of the ship. He looked around the inside of the hold and stopped breathing for a second, the creepiness of what he was seeing too intense.
Inside the dark room in front of him, there were a few candles scattered around. Whatever caused this insanity, it sure had a twisted way of doing things. It's really messing with him, Sora thought to himself as he stared at one of the figures in the room. There were over twenty figures walking around, sitting down, lying on the floor, slamming their heads into the walls, and talking to themselves. All the Kiritos ignored the teen who just walked into the room, who finally got a hold of himself and walked forward a little.
One of the Kirito shadow clones was sitting on the floor in front of another one, whispering quietly so that the other had to lean in. "You killed her," the clone growled, lifting up his head with eyes full of fury. "You took the first bite of the Devil Fruit, bastard!" The clone dove on top of the other one and pinned it to the ground, clenching its throat and wringing the life out of it.
"You joined the Underworld," a voice on Sora's left whispered. He turned to see a black haired clone smashing his head into the wall over and over again. "They killed Naruto, and took Angel, and you joined them!" The next time he hit his head was apparently too much for the clone's body to take and it exploded into a puff of smoke, the same time the one being strangled on the floor did.
"Hey Kirito," Sora started, looking past a few of the shadow clones to the boy in the back of the room sitting cross legged. That Kirito looked the calmest out of all of them, leaning back against the wall with his eyes closed.
"Meditation is the best way to control the madness," the one in the back started. Sora relaxed as the teen with black hair opened his eyes. Kirito continued, "And the clones distribute what madness is left over. It is a perfect system."
Sora nodded his head, "Well, good job coming up with it-"
"It wasn't me who came up with the idea," the Kirito sitting on the floor stated, making Sora confused. The sitting boy smiled ear to ear and Sora felt shivers down his spine as the other teen whispered, "It was the red man." His words, the words of a crazy person, made Sora take a step back.
"I keep telling you," one of the clones groaned at the one sitting, "he wasn't red! His skin was red, but his personality was green!"
"How did you see his personality?" the one sitting on the floor asked, closing his eyes again as he continued to meditate, convincing himself he wasn't insane.
"I just can okay!" the other shouted at the calm one. "You're pissing me off!" the clone whipped out a kunai from his pouch and Sora realized he couldn't let this continue. Especially if the sitting one was the real Kirito, then his own clone was about to kill him.
The brown haired teen had to make an Esuna wide enough to cover the entire hold, so he took a deep breath and lifted up his Keyblade. He channeled his magical energy through it, "Esuna!" He yelled, filling the room with the golden light.
Each of the shadow clones stopped what they were doing, looks of realization appearing on their faces. Then, all at once, they vanished. Sora was surprised the one sitting down wasn't the real Kirito at all, but then he heard a thud on his left, and another thud. He spun that way and saw another of the Kiritos who was slamming his head against the wall, only this one was still doing it.
"Hey Kirito!" Sora yelled over at the boy. "Esuna!" he pointed the Keyblade straight at him this time, forcing a more concentrated blast at the crazy teen. Kirito slammed his head against the wall one more time, but the bad thoughts didn't leave his head. He screamed into the wall, making Sora take a few steps backwards.
Kirito turned and saw Sora staring at him. The teen regained his composure and then looked around the dark room he lit up with some candles. "What the fuck am I doing?" he muttered.
"Listen," Sora told him, though it was hard to talk between panting breaths. He continued, "Come up to the deck with me. Everyone else is already up there, except for Sanji and the kid with white hair."
"Killua," Kirito told him.
"Yeah!" Sora exclaimed, feeling like the name was a little familiar. The spiky haired teen holding a Keyblade was breathing audibly through his nose and mouth which confused Kirito a little. Sora didn't feel the effects of the madness too badly, as his Esuna that filled up the room of clones also worked on him, but he was almost completely depleted of magic after the second one he used on Kirito. "Quickly, they might all be insane by now!"
Kirito and Sora ran through the ship, with the black haired boy gawking at the extensive damage all around. They reached the door leading out on the deck, but as soon as they opened it they felt a huge blast of wind that almost knocked them off their feet. The two of them looked outside where up in the air above the main deck, Luffy had a fist covered in Armament Haki, turning it black, pressed up against a fist covered in flames. Natsu's entire body was actually in flames, and he roared as he pushed harder into Luffy's steaming black fist.
"...IRON FIST!"
"...HAWK"
The two of them finished their attacks and the shockwave the came off of their punches sent everyone watching on the deck tumbling away. The two fighters only remained in that spot for a second longer when two fists slammed into their faces and sent them each flying back into the mast.
The blond kid who just appeared in the air laughed like a maniac as he dropped to the ground. "Dash stop!" Timmy yelled, appearing in front of the boy as he was descending. Timmy reached for him, but Dash kicked his feet below his body so fast he propelled himself up and over Timmy's head, literally jumping while already in the air.
The kid leapt over Timmy, and once he hit the ground, there was hardly a contest as to who was faster. Dash pretty much vanished to most of the people there, speeding around like a maniac as he knocked people off the ship and punched others who tried fighting back.
"Ice Sheet!" Gray yelled, slamming his hands into the floor and covering most of the deck in ice.
The kid sprinting at full speed slipped on some ice and fell face first on the ground. As soon as he fell, five people dove on him. Sora thought they had him, but he quickly realized they weren't trying to restrain him. "Dash!" Sora yelled as he watched Ben punch down at the boy. "Where is Riku?" Sora exclaimed as he started running forward. It seemed he wasn't needed as six Kirito's came out of nowhere and tackled the other fighters off Dash while also grabbing the boy himself.
"Timmy, Kirito," Sora exclaimed, holding up his Keyblade again. "Esuna!" he yelled, his Keyblade glowing and releasing some magic. Sora watched the two of them go wide-eyed that he'd use the magic on them, but he shouted out after, "You two need to keep things under control. Don't let anyone kill each other! Restrain them if you need to!"
An explosion was heard on the stern of the ship and everyone turned around to see a hole blown in the side of the girls' room above the cabin. Nami snapped up from where Robin's arms had her held down and she roared, "That's Sanji isn't it?! WHAT IS HE DOING IN MY ROOM?!"
That question was answered a second later as Riku came flying out of the room with Sanji right behind him, his right leg on fire, and his body dressed in... a dress. Everyone stopped, their insanity taking a breather as they stared at the blond man wearing a purple dress. He was laughing so loud that they could all hear him, and they heard him yell, "I'm a Cross-Dresser!"
Luffy and Natsu were reaching for each other while they were pinned under Kirito clones, but the two of them stopped at the sound of that, and they started laughing like mad at the chef. "Ha! Gaaaayyy!" Natsu yelled, pointing up at the man in a dress who snapped his head down at the pink haired wizard.
"It's called OKAMA!" Sanji shouted, zipping out of the sky like a missile with his flaming leg pointed at Natsu. He ripped right through the Kirito clone trying to control Natsu, but didn't make it to the Dragon Slayer as Timmy appeared and stopped him.
There were three Kirito shadow clones now holding Dash down, but a white aura erupted between them and the kid inside leapt up in the air. Dash started kicking the air beneath him incredibly fast to keep himself elevated, and his white aura grew as his smiling face turned into a very mad one. "Who's first?" he growled, then heard an angry voice behind him, making him turn around.
"Why is Sanji in one of my dresses?" Robin asked, starting to walk forward with a scary look in her eyes. She walked past Nami, releasing the arms holding her down as she did. The woman crossed her arms, and then her eyes widened into saucers as she saw the little blond boy hovering right in front of her with his fist pulled back.
Then, before Dash could punch in that single second, a flash of lightning lit up between Robin and the boy. Robin's eyes started darting down, as did Dash's, and they each saw the top of the boy between them's head. The white spikes of his hair were spikier than usual, coated in glowing white light, with lightning sparking off his body. He lifted up his arms, facing his hands in towards each other and making the lightning zap between his fingers. He started facing his hands out towards Dash, but at the same time, Killua's eyes widened as he saw the kid's leg swinging around towards him.
No way! He can keep up with Godspeed? Killua pushed his hands forward, slamming thousands of volts into the other kid younger than him, but Dash's powerful kick still hit him in the head despite him ducking a little during the attack. Dash had seen him start to duck a millisecond before he got zapped, and he adjusted his kick for the dodge.
Lightning filled the area as a smoking Dash was sent flying backwards and Killua tumbled across the ground into a railing, his aura fading as he stopped moving. The boy moaned and looked up a little to see Riku staring down at him, "Wait a second," Riku started, staring at the boy's eyes as Killua got back up to his feet. "You aren't infected."
"I got vaccinated in Metropolis," Killua stated. The fourteen year old reached up a hand and rubbed the side of his head where he already felt a bruise forming. I should have focused some Ko on my head to lessen the blow. I didn't have time to think, he's so fast, even without Nen-training.
"Good, I need some help," Riku stated, and Killua noticed the boy with silver hair was also not panicking.
"Sora," Timmy called up to the spiky haired boy who was panting very hard now, but jumping around a little and swinging his Keyblade to try and recover some magic power. The first Esuna he used before that covered the entirety of the ship drained what normally would have been all of his magical power, but he kept dipping into the darkness to get more. Now though, even using his extra reserves, he was still exhausted. I need to recover it the hard way. If only I had an Ether, or better yet an Elixer to use. "Sora!" Timmy yelled at the boy who was their only chance to keep control, the twelve year old looking angry as he yelled at him.
Sora looked at the pissed off kid who was probably the strongest one on the ship and took a step back. Timmy saw the nervous look in Sora's eyes and he tried to soften his expression as he called out, "Juvia chased after Gray when Gray went back inside before."
"They went back inside?" Sora exclaimed. He spun around but didn't see them go in since he came back out. They must have walked past while he was helping Kirito down in the hold. "Crap," the teen muttered, turning and running back inside.
While Sora ran inside, the insane people on the deck were fighting off individual Kirito shadow clones that were trying to restrain them. One of them ran over towards a thirteen year old boy who was slowly getting up to his feet, but Ben snapped his head up and looked into Kirito's eyes with completely insane ones of his own. The clone faltered for a second as Ben's body lit up green, but then it kept charging at the kid and dove through the green light to try and restrain him.
A few of the others looked over at the flash of green and their eyes turned huge at the sight of the creature that appeared. None of them had ever seen Ben use it before, and they felt shivers down their spines. The white ghost creature floated right through Kirito's shadow clone, freaking the clone out to the point that it exploded in a puff of smoke. Ghostfreak looked around at everyone staring at it and it hissed in a creepy voice, "You want to see something cool?" Suddenly Ben's alien's smooth ghost body peeled back, and everyone screamed at the skeletal head underneath and at the black tentacles that shot out of his chest.
Riku looked over at one of his best friends and saw Ben laughing hard as this creepy alien he had never seen him transform into before. "Keep calming them down," Riku told Killua who he cured of a head wound and was back at a hundred percent.
"I'll do what I can," Killua said, not making any promises before rushing off.
The older boy nodded, then took a step towards Ghostfreak. After taking one step, he had to lean back fast and watched as a small green ball flew inches in front his face. Riku turned and looked over to see Usopp standing all the way across the ship, pointing a slingshot in his direction. The long-nosed sniper lowered his slingshot a little and glared harder than Riku had ever seen him before. He looked absolutely enraged, and he roared across the ship at Riku, "Make me your slave?! Make me KILL people for you?!"
Riku froze in place and the others who were mildly sane looked up at Usopp to see tears flowing out of his enraged eyes. "You made me murder for you!" he yelled at Riku who he now saw as exactly the same as Ansem. "Now," Usopp lifted back up his slingshot and smiled on his angry face covered in tears, so many emotions flowing through him at once. He pulled back his slingshot and roared, "I'm going to murder you!" Riku had to dodge as more Pop Greens went flying past him from Usopp's slingshot, and he frowned deeply as Usopp's words were getting to him. Hope you're having a better time looking for Gray and Juvia, Sora.
Sora ran down the halls of the Thousand Sunny, throwing open door after door as he searched for the two of them. He ran into the storage room and looked around, but didn't see anyone. He was about to leave, when he realized there really was 'no one' inside. CRAP! Where did Kairi go? Sora started running faster as he searched the halls.
"Kairi! Gray! Juvia! Kairi!" he yelled out, throwing open doors as he looked for them and hoped no one was killing each other.
The teen charged right up to a door and put his hand on the handle. He heard noises coming from behind it and was happy he finally found the right door, but then froze as he started twisting the handle. The noises he heard from behind the door were not of two people fighting, but something very, very different. Sora's face turned red as he heard Juvia scream out in pleasure from behind the door. For some reason, he felt relieved as well, which confused him. Why would I be relieved?
A hand grabbed him by the right arm and the boy snapped his head to the right, instantly realizing why he was relieved. He was happy because he heard Juvia's voice, not the girl in front of him right now who was looking at him in the same way he was sure Juvia was looking at Gray right now.
"Kairi hold on," Sora started, pushing her back a little as she leaned up to kiss him.
His light shove stopped her from kissing him and she leaned back, a look of total dejection mixed with some anger on her face. Sora felt heartbroken that he was making the girl feel this way, but it didn't feel right with the state she was in right now. "Why don't you love me Sora?!" she yelled at him, freaking the boy out who took a few steps backwards down the hall.
Kairi walked towards him, matching each of his steps to keep them the same short distance apart. She pointed her right hand at the door as she walked past it and yelled at her boyfriend, "I know you're shy Sora, but that is also a part of love!" The girl with dark red hair dove at the boy who was momentarily stunned and she tackled him to the ground, straddling him as she did.
"Make love to me Sora," she whispered down into his ear. The boy felt shivers through his body and his hands started lifting on their own. "We've slept in the same bed, with nothing but our underwear between us for most of the last year," she whispered, starting to rub her hands along his body as his arms wrapped around her back. "But not once, have you tried something," she continued, sounding a little hurt, and also angry at him. "I love you so much Sora, so why won't you love me?"
"I do love you," the boy told her, pulling her down with the hands he had on her back and pressing his lips against hers. He was losing it. As soon as his lips touched hers it was like sparks ignited through both of their bodies, their minds starting to blank. Sora's hands got under the back of Kairi's shirt and they roamed the bare skin of her back, and she moaned into his mouth. Kairi, I-I love you so much. So much, that, I won't... let the madness! TAKE OVER! Sora's eyes snapped open and the girl above him noticed the change in the pace as his hands slid out from under her shirt.
Sora scooted back fast and pushed her hands away from the waistband of his pants. He jumped up fast and tried to ignore the sobs coming from the girl he loved, the sobs that he caused. He drew his Keyblade with his right hand, and as much as he wanted to use it on himself and Kairi, he had some others he had to help first. "I'm sorry for how awkward this is going to be," Sora shouted as he jumped at the door and knocked it down.
The brown haired teen tried covering his eyes from the sight of the two people interlocked inside the small doctor's office, using the examining bed as their own. "Esuna," he called out, lighting both of them up with a golden light and then stepping back outside.
The two on the examining bed froze, both of them ceasing to moan as their eyes widened to their fullest and they realized where they were. Gray was flat on his back and he stared straight up at the girl straddling him at the waist, and he didn't have to look down to feel that neither of them were wearing clothes. Neither wanted to move, neither said anything, they just stared at each other with horrified expressions on their faces.
Juvia's face was getting brighter, more and more red by the second until Gray thought she was about to pop. And then she smiled and her eyes rolled back in her head. Gray got a panicked look on his face as he watched her fall off him, and then off the bed altogether as she fainted. He hopped off the bed, resisting the urge to cover himself up immediately as he needed both hands to catch the blue haired girl before she hit the ground.
Gray caught her with one arm under her back and the other under her butt, which caused him to let go of her a second later, dropping her to the hard floor. He winced as he heard the thud, and then reached for his pants quickly, trying to process what had just happened in his mind.
The ice wizard stepped out into the hallway with only his pants on, which was normal since he had already discarded his shirt much earlier as caused by his habit of stripping everywhere he went. He looked to his right and saw Sora waving his Keyblade around, and then throwing it over at a wall when he couldn't get another Esuna out of it. Gray looked over at the teen who had helped him earlier when he was fighting Juvia, and now a second time. Sora didn't look much better than he did, but now he saw why the boy was so furious that his Keyblade wasn't working.
There was a girl between Gray and Sora, lying on her knees with tears streaming down her face. "Make love to me SORA!" she screamed, turning towards him and standing up while picking up a piece of wood at the same time. It was a shard blasted off of the door when Sora kicked it down, and it was pretty sharp on the end she put up to her throat.
"Whoa! Kairi this isn't like you," Sora told the girl, his own madness lessened by the seriousness of the situation. She was not the type of girl to do anything like this, so Sora was really freaking out now, deciding he definitely should have saved the Esuna instead of ruining Gray and Juvia's fun time. His magic still felt completely depleted, so he held up his hands slowly, "Put the wood shard down Kairi."
"N-No!" she yelled, pushing it farther so it pressed into her neck, letting a drop of blood spill out. "I HATE YOU-" she yelled, right before the wood dropped from her hand and her eyes rolled back into her head.
Gray stood behind the girl with his hand extended in a chop, having knocked the girl out to stop her from hurting herself. "That was too close," he muttered, wiping a bead of sweat from his forehead.
"What, did you..." Gray started looking up as he heard the voice coming from down the hall, "DO TO HER?!" Sora roared, a burst of wind so powerful exuding from his body that Gray was thrown backwards. The ice wizard put his hand down as he landed on his feet and skid back down the hall, all the way to the wall at the other end of it.
"I was helping her," Gray shouted back down, trying to reach Sora. When he looked down the hall at the boy down there though, he didn't recognize the person he was talking to. Gray got up to his feet and took a step back, fear filling his body from the feeling he got looking at the teen down the hall.
There was only one option. He ran. Both girls they loved were in this section of the ship, and Gray knew Sora didn't want to hurt them. He recently got the Esuna magic, healing his madness temporarily, but he could already feel it tearing away at him again. Gray had to run. He sprinted into the kitchen and out on the ship's deck, closing the door behind him.
The door didn't stay closed for long though, immediately blasting open and knocking into Gray who got thrown across the deck and into the burning sail covered in blue and red flames.
Natsu and Rin were battling up in the training room at the top of the mast, the crow's nest shaking every time each one of them threw a punch or slashed their sword.
There were several people tied up on the ground lying unconscious. Next to the cluster of them was Timmy, sitting there curled up with his hands in front of his face. "If Wanda were here, she could have fixed this. Even if she couldn't heal us, she could have built cages to trap us. Or, or she could have just sent us all to sleep until Goku comes back, but... but... she's not here. SHE'S DEAD!" The entire Thousand Sunny started shaking as Gray fell down from the sail.
Timmy roared in mental pain from losing his Fairy Godmother. The sky above them started getting darker with clouds swirling around the sky, but nobody noticed.
Anyone not already unconscious were in the middle of trying to kill each other. Luffy and Killua were moving at intense speeds as they zipped around the ship that had become their battleground. The younger boy was faster, but Killua's lightning did nothing to the older rubber pirate. He pulled out his harder-than-steel yo-yo's, but Luffy punched his fist into one when Killua sent it flying and the yo-yo shattered, right before Luffy's fist slammed into the white haired kid himself.
When Gray hit the ground, right next to him Riku had just managed to knock out Franky and the robot collapsed to the ground as well. He looked down at Gray, to see the ice wizard looking like a mess with cuts and bruises all over him. "Curaga!" Riku called out, healing both himself and Gray with a dome of green light.
Gray's eyes snapped open and the young man jumped up to his feet, not even wasting breath to thank Riku. Despite Timmy's enormous power shaking the whole ship, there was something Gray was more afraid of. He and Riku looked back towards the kitchen where not just the door, but half of the wall leading inside had been broken apart.
Stepping out of the kitchen, was a boy completely shrouded in darkness. The air around him was dark as well, with long black tendrils seeping out and touching other things, making them darker as well. Around his feet, Shadows started crawling out of the ground. These dog-like Heartless looked different from the old Shadows though, standing up now on two legs, looking bigger than before. Neo-Shadows. Their antennae were longer now, and they looked less cute, and more terrifying. The dark human form behind them held up both hands and completely black Keyblades dripping darkness formed in his hands.
Sora pointed a hand forward, and a dozen Neo-Shadows lifted off the ground, literally flying towards the others on the deck. They moved as a mass with so many so close together that it looked like a thick tube of darkness flying at them. The form inside the darkness lifted up his head and roared, "RRAAAAAAAA!"
"Use all my power!" Ansem yelled inside Riku's mind. There was no time for hesitation, or questioning whether Ansem would try to take control, Riku just accepted it. The teen's body became black for a second, his yellow shirt and jeans being replaced as the darkness went away. Gray turned to his side and his eyes widened at the sight of what Riku had become. He never saw what this man looked like back in Port Royal, but from descriptions of him, he knew who this tall, tan-skinned man was.
"Ansem?" Gray whispered, watching as the tall figure with silver hair longer than Riku's took a step forward. On the muscular man's chest was a tattooed heart of red full of black with a red 'X' in the center of it.
The tall man turned to Gray and said in a deep voice, "No, it's still Riku." His body surrounded with a solid white aura, and he lifted off the ground at the same time. A large black form with beady white eyes ripped out the back of the white cloak that had replaced his normal clothing. The beast lifted up its muscular arms and two more arms ripped out under them, while the sky around Riku darkened.
He and the dark form of what should have been Sora stared at each other for a few seconds, and then they both shot towards each other. Riku wasn't expecting his friend's speed to be this crazy, and he had only made it a little towards Sora when Sora caught him, slamming him in the chest with a dark claw that sent Riku spiraling out of the air and down through the deck into the cabin below.
While Riku and Sora battled through the ship, Timmy started lifting up in the sky, his aura getting larger and larger each second. Natsu and Rin were in the middle of fighting in the crow's nest when the wall on one side blasted open and they looked over to see a bright white light flooding in.
One of the few people Timmy managed to tie up before Sora's Esuna wore off on him was the same woman who had been looking after him for quite some time now. The orange haired woman opened her eyes a little, lying on the ground leaned up against a wall where she was pushed after Timmy powered up. Near her, Robin, Sanji, Ben, and Usopp were still unconscious with ropes tied around them. She looked up in the sky and saw the child in the center of the light, and despite her fury at being tied up, she still went wide-eyed at the sight of the kid roaring in pain.
"WWAAAANNNNNDAAAA!" Timmy screamed, and then his aura changed shape. It turned so bright that no one could look at it for a second, and then the light shot over across the water, leaving Timmy behind. The light slammed into a section of the ocean that Nami couldn't see from where she lay, but if she could see it she would have seen five miles of ocean in circumference that went hundreds of yards deep, disappear. The ocean just vanished in that giant hole, and all the surrounding water started moving that way to fill in the hole. The Sunny started turning, moving that direction as was the majority of the ocean around them.
When the light around Timmy faded, the boy no longer looked angry. Instead, his eyes were cold. He glared down at the ship below him and everyone fighting each other looked up at this boy nervously. "Timmy don't!" Nami yelled, coming to her senses as she saw a ball of white light form on Timmy's right hand.
The kid in the air looked down and saw Nami sitting on the ship, staring up at him in fear. His eyes widened and Nami thought he came to his senses, but as soon as she thought it she felt a jolt. The woman clenched her eyes shut and then reopened them, to see that she was a hundred feet off the deck of the ship. Timmy had her in his left hand, while he continued to charge the ball of energy in his right. "I like you Nami," the kid said with a smile, while his face was shadowed by the giant ball of white light on the other side that Nami could feel the immense energy coming from now.
Natsu and the guy covered in blue flames shot out of the crow's nest with their fists and sword pulled back. Timmy looked at them and the two stopped flying in the air, freezing in place. Then he flicked his eyes down, and the two went crashing down into the ship below where they moaned and looked back up in the sky where Timmy threw his left hand down, chucking the giant ball of light.
At this point, all the crazy people on the deck of the ship started freaking out. Nami was screaming at Timmy for releasing the ball down on their friends, but he was just angrily glaring at the top of his white energy ball, not responding to her words.
"Oh fuck!" Franky yelled as the first thing he saw upon opening his eyes was the giant ball of light heading down for the ship he built. This was his dream ship, the one he wanted Luffy to become the Pirate King with, no one was going to destroy it. He hopped up fast, then pointed his hands up at the beam, "Franky Radical Beam!" he yelled, and a laser shot out from between his hands up at the larger energy ball.
Franky's beam might have been powerful, but it was nowhere near the size necessary to do any damage to Timmy's attack. Instead, the laser just got sucked up into the attack, if anything making it larger. The cyborg's jaw dropped, then he turned around and sprinted off the ship, not even jumping when he hit the railing, smashing straight through it. He could try swimming away, but at this point he was already screwed, they all were.
Inside the ship, Sora swung his right black claw and slammed Riku who looked exactly like Ansem out onto the deck. The older teen came flying out and was stunned by the bright white light above him that he was about to crash into. "Shit!" Riku shouted.
Before Riku even finished shouting, the descending ball about to hit the top of the mast, (having torn through most of the crow's nest already), was sent flying to the east. The ball soared into the distance, going, going, until finally it must have hit somewhere because the ocean started shaking and the sky lit up with a bright white light.
Timmy frowned and turned his head to the distance where he felt a large power. "Phew, I made it," Goku said, smiling as he looked at the ship and felt the same number of powers as he did when he left.
"Goku!" Riku shouted, a smile coming to his face as he saw the man.
Goku looked back at Riku and his eyes widened, "You're that Ansem guy right? I'm gonna kick your butt!"
"No Goku, it's me," Riku called out as he descended and landed on the deck in between an unconscious Usopp and Sanji, both looking like they got beat up badly before they were knocked out. "It's Riku."
"Ohh," Goku said, totally confused but also kind of remembering that Underworld base where something similar happened. "Well, I got some antidotes," he added, looking up towards Timmy again who had Nami still in his hand, while his other fist clenched tightly. Actually, both fists were clenching and Nami started whimpering as Timmy had a tight grip on her. "Let her go Timmy," Goku demanded, his look turning serious.
The insane child growled, then dropped the woman who he didn't even remember why he picked her up in the first place. Nami fell, but while she fell she watched as Goku and Timmy soared towards each other. The two of them were blurs in the sky for a few seconds, but Goku's aura turned gold, then a more furious gold, then Timmy dropped out of the sky, a fist shaped hole in the front of his shirt where Goku had hit him so hard he was knocked out.
Super Saiyan 2 Goku sighed and dropped out of his aura. He would have enjoyed fighting Timmy longer, like he could sense Vegeta enjoying a fight with an insane Laxus right now, but his friends were in danger and he needed to get them the antidotes fast.
Goku dropped to the ship, and within ten seconds, every other person on the deck was unconscious. Even Nami who Timmy dropped was lying still at Goku's feet because she tried diving on Usopp's unconscious body. The Saiyan took a deep breath when all the passed out people were in between him and Riku. The teenager gawked at Goku, which was weird since he was still in Ansem's body. Goku didn't relax yet though, and he was smart not to as the deck behind him exploded upwards. Riku started turning, but the creature that flew out was already mid-swing, slamming into him and sending him crashing into the other bodies around him.
The silver haired boy was already tired, but that powerful hit took the rest of his energy from him. His body lit up for a few seconds, and then he was back to normal lying there in his yellow shirt and jeans. He watched through blurry eyes as Goku dodged Sora's attacks, moving out of the way of each one. The Saiyan got behind the kid and chopped him on the neck, but then a black Keyblade slammed into Goku's side, surprising the man who had used the same attack to knock everyone else on deck out.
Goku actually smiled that he couldn't take Sora out with such an easy blow, but the teen had lost control and it was pretty obvious. Even without the madness, Goku would be frowning, as seeing the kid in this state reminded him of the Underworld Base they took on together a little over a month before. He hadn't seen it himself, but this is what he imagined had taken over the teen at that time which allowed them to take down the base.
Goku hopped back as Sora tried slamming another appearing Keyblade into him. The Saiyan's hair turned gold while he was in mid-hop, and then when he touched the ground he shot towards Sora like a missile. He was amazed the teen could keep up with his speed, but his loss of control was clearly messing with his skill because Goku faked a forward punch, then flipped over the kid who fell for it and stomped down on Sora's head. The Super Saiyan felt Sora reaching up for him, so he started zipping around the kid punching and kicking him as hard as he would dare, getting a little stronger each time until finally he had to just go for it and he slammed an elbow into Sora's face.
The creature tumbled back across the deck and stopped moving right next to where Riku was lying. The older teen turned his head a little and watched as Sora's dark aura started seeping away. The black aura dispersed from Sora's red and blue clothes, then from his hair and body, and finally the skin on his face shifted back to its lighter tone. It's over, Riku thought as he saw Sora's face, the boy finally out cold. As he thought it, Riku passed out too.
Goku scratched his head as he looked around all the unconscious people. "There are some people missing," he wondered aloud. In front of him lay the majority of the crew, most of whom had gone insane. He had no idea Killua hadn't gone nuts when he found the kid fighting the ice wizard, so he knocked out both of them.
The Saiyan hopped back and dropped down into the hole Sora flew out of before. Goku flew around the inside of the ship and really felt bad about all the damage inside it considering how much the Straw Hats seemed to care about their ship. He flew back as soon as Gohan finished with the medicine, so there wasn't much that could be done, but if he knew things were going to get this bad this quickly, he would have knocked them all out before he left. He really thought it would take less time. The Saiyan flew down a hall where he saw Kairi lying face down on the floor. He flew towards her, then looked into the room next to where she was unconscious.
Goku's eyes widened at the sight of the unconscious girl lying inside the doctor's office. She was on the floor, lying naked on top of a pile of clothes, and her face was in a full smile. The man started chuckling as he saw her and he walked into the room. Goku lifted her up a little and then grabbed her clothes off the floor, though there were a pair of guy's underwear mixed in with her clothes that he left on the ground. The Saiyan put Juvia's clothes on without having a single dirty thought, and he started whistling to himself even as he did it. "Man, Piccolo's clothes beam would really be great right around now," the Saiyan joked to himself as he finally got the girl's bra strapped back on, though it proved more difficult than he thought it would.
The Saiyan warrior finished dressing Juvia and brought her with him out of the room. He picked up Kairi while he went, and he flew back out to the deck where he looked around at all the unconscious people around him, including Riku. "Guess it's up to me to give you the medicine," the man whispered. Goku took the pack off his back. He opened it up and removed the first of the pills, "I'm sorry," he whispered as he looked at the injured group in front of him, "it is not going to be pleasant." He reached down and opened Juvia's mouth, before putting the pill in and making her swallow it.
"RAAAA!"
"AHHHH!"
"AGGGHHH!"
Each of the crew members on the Thousand Sunny were tied up around the grass deck. The majority of them were screaming in pain as the pills worked the madness out of their system. Could we have avoided this? Riku thought internally, but Ansem assured him they could not. "Even the doctors in Metropolis could not find a non-painful way to rid the people of the madness. The vaccine did not seem to be this harsh though." Riku was standing next to Goku in the middle of the cluster of people. They were rushing back and forth for the last two hours giving everyone water and trying to calm them down.
"Sorry again," Goku called up to the deck behind them. Outside of the kitchen on the little balcony, Killua was sitting on top of the railing swinging his legs back and forth with a calm expression on his face.
Killua frowned at the man who knocked him out and then forced him to take one of the pills while he was asleep despite the fact that he already got inoculated by the vaccine. The boy grunted in acknowledgement, but didn't respond. Goku continued in a more optimistic tone, "Well, at least it's not hurting you as much as everyone else-"
"Yes it is," the boy replied, a little pissed by Goku's carefree attitude. "I can just tolerate the pain better," he sat there not showing a single sign of it, but his body was coursing with pain just like everyone else on the ship. Goku sweatdropped and apologized again, but Killua just waved him off saying it was fine.
"Natsu," Luffy growled across the circle of screaming people. He had his teeth clenched and was resisting the urge to yell out in the horrible pain he felt. "You know I could kick your ass?"
"Ha!" the Fire Dragon Slayer fake-laughed at the pirate captain. "RRrrgg," Natsu groaned, writhing around in pain in his ropes. He snapped his head up and glared at the pirate in the straw hat staring over at him, "I'd like to see you try it."
"Please stop," Kairi whispered, before shrieking out in pain as the medicine worked its way through her system. She felt a hand in hers and turned her head to the left, where she saw Sora reaching over to her and holding her hand. The boy with brown spiky hair ground his teeth, and then the corners of his lips curved up into the goofiest smile he could create.
Kairi still felt the pain, but at the same time she couldn't help herself. His smile was contagious, and the girl in all her pain grinned, closing her teary eyes that still spilled water out of the cracks between her eyelids. Tears streamed down her face, but she smiled with Sora, and she started laughing.
Everyone screaming around the circle heard the new noise mixed in with the cries of pain. The first two to look over were the two standing in the middle. Goku and Riku turned towards them, and upon seeing them Riku burst out laughing. Goku was surprised at seeing Sora and Kairi laughing with huge pained smiles on their faces, but he didn't start laughing like Riku.
Killua looked down from where he was sitting up on the railing and the kid with white hair started cracking up. "You guys are great," he said, tilting his head back and laughing some more. The fact that the same pain that was bothering the rest of them wasn't bothering Killua at all, made Luffy, Natsu, Gray, Kirito, and Sanji start trying hard to keep their mouths shut. Riku couldn't keep his mouth shut though, laughing harder along with his friends.
The tall teen with long silver hair couldn't stop himself. He was so worried about the two of his closest friends that he forgot who it was he was worried about in the first place. A voice groaned at him from his left and Riku turned, still chuckling, to see Ben glaring at him, "It's not funny," the boy moaned, before clenching his eyes shut in pain again.
"Oh come on Ben," Goku told the boy sitting near him, "you're much stronger than last time this happened. I bet Gwen's taking it much worse than you are right now."
The kid looked up at Goku and growled, "That doesn't make me feel better."
"Huh?" Goku questioned, wondering why not. He tried to think up something else to bring Ben's spirits up like and the Saiyan grinned when he did. "It could be worse," he offered, making most of them look his way.
"How?" Nami exclaimed, literally not seeing how on their ruined ship with all of them lying around in pain, this could be any worse.
"Well, you could be Laxus," Goku said, "Vegeta went after him when this all started. So..." The image of Laxus lying on the ground covered in scratches and bruises while an entertained Super Saiyan Vegeta stood laughing over him appeared in Ben, Natsu, and Gray's minds.
The two male members of Fairy Tail and the young boy with the Omnitrix on his wrist saw what they imagined Laxus to look like right now, and all three of them burst out laughing. It wasn't like they were in any better condition themselves, but it did make them feel better with the knowledge that Laxus went nuts too.
Gray was laughing, when he remembered something that happened inside the ship and his face turned red. He turned to the left a little and saw Juvia staring up at him with starry eyes and her face red as well. It looked like they were both thinking of the same thing, so despite the pain they felt as the sickness filtered out of their systems, the two of them couldn't help but smile at each other.
Gray's smile was all Juvia needed at the moment to be able to stomach all the pain herself. She turned with that smile on her face and looked over at her friends in the Straw Hat crew who were all still in pain. The girl travelled with them for such a long time that they all felt like as much of her nakama as did the members of her own guild.
Usopp was most noticeable since he was screaming a lot still, but she could see the pain on Nami and Robin's faces too very clearly. "Everyone," she said over to the pirates. The Straw Hat crew looked over to see Juvia looking their way with a pained expression, but a smile curving up on her tear-streaked face. She laughed, and her laughter picked up as she tilted her head back and cackled. Everyone else who had started laughing looked over at her as her laughter was way too loud, and it was pretty clear the insanity was not all gone yet. Then, at the top of Juvia's lungs while she laughed madly, she screamed, "Juvia loves you all! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!"
She laughed like an evil villain after this loud profession of love for them all, and not one of them could look at her with a straight face anymore. Usopp screamed out in pain again, "Raaaha haha rahaha!" His pained screams transformed into laughter that pretty much exemplified how they were all feeling. Everyone who stopped laughing to listen to Juvia burst back out into laughter and now the rest of them joined in. They laughed while they cried.
A/N This is one of my favorite chapters, so I hope you enjoyed it! It was a ton of fun to write and there were some intense scenes in here from the very beginning. Gray v Juvia, Sora v Gray, Sora v Riku, Natsu v Rin, Dash v Rin, Natsu v Luffy, Luffy v Killua, Ben v Juvia, Ben v Kirito, Sanji v Riku, Usopp v Riku, Goku v Timmy, Goku v Sora, I could go on forever. The battles were endless and they may have given you guys a better idea of which characters are ranked where on the ship in terms of strength. If you want to try ranking the nineteen in a review, be my guest, however I don't think there's a sure way to rank them 1-19, as some of their full strengths have never been shown in Nexus, and it's been two years from wherever they were taken in their respective medias. Go ahead and try though, I'd love to see what you guys think. Everyone caught the crazy virus, a virus I actually didn't take from a different show, but just thought would be cool if it happened and I liked the result of what I wrote XD. Hope you liked it as much as I did! Leave me a review telling me your thoughts, comments, predictions, or questions! 'Till next time!

Wooww already 5 chapters in! Great content as well, can't wait for the arrival at aerbirth, and Goku being pissed off ; ) it's quite rare for Goku to get pissed, it took krillen, his best friend's death to awaken super Saiyan after all... But just like when majin Vegeta killed the people at the World martial arts tournament, I think the slaves will definitely piss him off, since there has been no records of slaves in DBZ, while the others have either seen or had history (on their worlds) of slaves. Of course, Rin's debut is also much anticipated, since he was one of my favorite characters when I was younger! Sorry for not paying attention, I didn't know that this was up until chapter 100 of Nexus... Thanks for all the chapters! Good luck with life in general!
Thanks! Glad you're excited and amped for some Goku epic action. Rin had a cool part earlier this first chapter, though Dash kinda kicked his butt here, (can't top that speed XD). And yeah that's why I posted chapter 100 of Nexus lol, I figured there might've been some people who didn't see the new chapters yet! Thanks again for the review!
