Last chapter we saw that ruby almost blew up since she thought penny was dead. But heard she was alive though the others now know what happened on menagerie. But lets return back to blake and the belongs to Rooster Teeth and Monty Oum. I own the OC's, AU. Hope you enjoy!
Chapter 109:Voyage
After the other had left in falks ship to travel to havan ahead of them. The rest of the group on menagerie were preparing for one thing and that would be loading up the airships they got from hayley industries. While their was enough airships for them to be able to make a landing into havan. But the access codes they have might nor work. Though right now they were all loading up on the main ship. As their were four smaller ships that would follow the main ship on their path
Right now several hayley industries workers were packing up boxes and crates onto the main ship right now using hover doley and forklifts. But overseeing all of it right now blake who had a prideful look right now watching all of this right now. Because they would be heading to mistral in no time thanks to her friends help. Though she couldn't help but think about what will happen when they arrive in havan.
How when they get their they'll need to set up a proper defense to protect the captial of the kingdom. She just hopes that when yang and the others arrive they can seek help along with quelling any infighting that may happen due to her best friend boyfriend reputation. As she stood their soon someone called out to her.
"Blake dear are you alright? You've been standing their for twenty minutes just staring at the ship"kali called out to her
"Yeah because remember what i said before….wet willy"sun said wagging his figner as she stared at him annoyed
"Please don't do that because if you do guess what will happen wukong"She said as before he knew it a pair of golden metal claws where near his tial.
"I'll cut your tail off and use it as a belt"she added sarcastically as the monkey faunus took on big step back. Sombra laughed slightly stepping forward with her hands behind her head
"Nice try cousin do that do my sunny and next thing you know your metal arm will be in the bottom of the ocean."sombra retorted back as the cat laughed slightly
"All in good fun but how are we doing on loading the supplies for the ship?"blake said as they began to walk alongside the dock at that moment. As they did with them was jaki who had a manifest of the ship. Along with that beatrix who joined them walking alongside them.
Jaki flipped through the manifest"were doing alright. I've had my workers load most of the supplies on the ship at this moment right now. Along with that i've tasked crewman to each one to provide maintenance on the ships. "He started as he faced forward
"The three smaller ships are simple finch class ships that have enough space for maybe hundred to two hundred passenger totaling in 800 passenger at the max. While for the other main ship well lets just say its qutie big"he said before gesturing to the main ship they'll be using for their travel
That being a large cruise like ship that looked to be maybe 30ft tail and 100 feet in length. Though it had a pair of jet engines on the far back measuring in at about eight of them. Along with that large sails ontop of the ship that sported the new white fang logo with a black sail with a wolf and claw colored in gold on it. As it stood their proud in the water for its long journey to stop the attack on havan acacdemt
Sombra whislted at it"man that is a big ship seriously how long does it take make one of these things?"she asked
"Don't know probably like….two months i guess."sun replied
Jaki chuckled"actually no i've had this ship in development for the last six years. Six long years of hard work when i heard about you needing ship i tasked all my crew to start construction on this. Those smaller ships were very simply by purchasing them. "He said
"With my connection we got all the necessary material needed to finish the construction of the ship. Though unfortunately i will not be joining you all on this journey"beatrix added peeking some curiosity as they approached some others
"Why arent you coming dear? I understand you may not be a fighter but a women with knowledge in management may be useful on the journey"kali complimented as she was about to answer until they got their answer as a certain someone made a noise
"Ma"luna called out as she was reaching for her mother right now as she was in tia hands. Though the women was strulgging with her as she kept trying to keep her from falling out of her arms but she kept trying to bite her
"Stop..hold….stilll you little….please stop…trying to bite me"tia demanded until she stopped for a moment as she sighed in relief
"Thank goodness you…ow!"tia shotued as luna sunk her small little fangs into her hand as she whined from the bite form the toddler. As verona groaned walking over taking her daughter as tia held her hand as blood slightly drew from it.
"Luna hayley why do i always need to tell you this. If you bite someone again your not going to get any treats forever"verona scolded as the baby faunus began to flap her little wings making a pouty face
"Momma no go…momma stay"luna cutely demanded as they found that adorable as beatrix sighed walking over as she gently took the faunus away as she tried to bite her but she was going to stop that.
"Now sweetie you need to stop being so mean. I understand you want to be with your mother but she needs to go on a very important errand. Just be patient and maybe when she comes back she'll bring you father and your cousin"beatrix simply said as the tot thought for a moment nodding hugging the women staring at her mother
Verona blinked for a moment"Well that just weird because usually my girl would be trying to bite the nearest person. Guess it took her hearing that to be calm"she replied surprised
"Well i guess she really like that cold daughter of mine. Though i wonder if those two daughter of ours are in havan right now. Because if they are i hope things are okay over their right now"calida said with concern
"I'm sure everything will be fine beside the others will probably be shocked seeing some dead people their. Making a bet…someone got punched in the face"coco said as they stared at her for a bit as zoey groaned as her tail swayed
"Well i'm hoping for no infighting among them. Seriously i'm wondering if any of them might be mad about someone being gone."zoey said as blake stood their for a moment until penny popped into her mind. Ruby did mention a few times how she considered her as a friend. Which made her worried if the silver eye teen started something.
Summer stepped forward with her arms cross"the crew should be loading up the rest of the supplies soon enough for our vessel. Although are we sure to bring a few faunus on this ship."she said which confused them
"What are you talking about? Where taking all the volunteers for the journey along with keeping some of the guard here as protection for those who are staying"kali asked before the women pointed to a specific group that being seth and his friends
As the troublesome faunus were just messing around with another faunus right now. That being a younger girl who was fourteen from the looks of it. As she had chocolate brown skin with dark purple hair that was long. Along with that her eyes were light blue as she had a slender build
While her attire mainly consisted of some tan jean shorts with fish next legging while she wore a pair of tan shoes. As she also sported a crop top long sleeve shoving off her midriff colored brown.
For her faunus trait it was a pair of fish gills and fines on her head colored bright pink. As they were playing keep away with her right now throwing back and forth a necklace from the looks of it.
They all immediately looked rather annoyed as they didn't recall that some of these volunteers might be here to start trouble
"Oh right….them….god i forgot about them. Why did we even let them join on the march"jazmine whined walking over with a few others with her. Mainly being xander,declan, aruna and vance as the lynx stared the group down with a glare
"Because their just idiot…yo miss i'm leading the charge. Can we like just kick them off because i don't wanna share a bunk with those jerks."vance growled as blake thought for a moment but sighed rubbing her eyes at this as she was going to regret this
"Sorry but we need all hands on deck for this. Theirs no time to start a problem with them rather not have another situation like before. "Blake replied to their annoyance though xander stared them down for a bit as he saw ava shove the girl to the ground as he had enough of it
Marching over to his father surprise the young wolf watched as seth had the girl necklace in his hand taunting her with it.
"Awww what you want this stupid thing…seriously this thing is trash. I thought you have something interesting but like always your boring"seth taunted as the fish faunus was in tears
"Stop it…seriously i just wanna get on board. Can you guys not mess with me for one day"she pleaded
Kate scoffed as she caught the necklace next"nah because its fun to mess with you…though here goes your trash!"she said throwing it close to the ocean as it seemed to bother the girl. But as it got thrown near the end of the dock immediately reaching out xander caught it staring down the group who looked back at him.
"You guys are jerks you know that right. Seriously were all trying to work together here to save everyone in mistral. But you guys are doing the same crap you;ve done. Stop it"xander threatened as the weasel scoffed stepping forward
"Or what you gonna beat me up you little mutt?"he taunted as the wolf stared at him before deciding to point something out.
"Well….i don't know i could do what my sister boyfriend did to you guys. For a few days he showed me alot of things on how to beat up punks like you. And i don't if he hears you messing with anyone he might well…."he stoped before making a motion of someone snapping their leg making some flinch
Mitch slowly backed up"yeah lets just get on board…this chick isn't worth it right now"he said backing up as kai did too.
"Mitch is right lets get on board….we can chill or something later. C;mon man"kai said draggin seth away who wasn't phazed as ava followed them. But as kate walked away sombra walked over whistling to the girl as she turned
"What do you want taupe?"kate asked annoyed
"Why do you even hang out with those guys anymore kate? I mean come on you and mitch used to be our friends. Until well you two decided to hang out with them to avoid getting bullied"sombra said as the girl flinched but avoided her gaze forcing a laugh
"What are you talking about? Seth and the others are better friends….better compared to the monster lovers. Heard your dad was one of them….good riddance that hes dead"kate said but heisatned on it as the girl flinched as she boarded the ship as the sabertooth sighed at that.
Xander decided to return the necklace to the girl handing her it as she looked at him
"Heyya pearl you doing good over here or are they still messing with you?"Xander asked as the girl nodded
"I'm fine…you know same old stuff with them. Though still surprised to see you here i heard you died or whatever"pearl replied as he shrugged his shoulders
"I survived a month in a city of grimm though uh don't worry about those guys. Hang with our group to stay clear of them. "Xander said as the fish faunus smile running up the gangway. Though as she did aruna eyed the girl for a bit as something was starting to brew jealous it seems. Which jazmine noticed as she might need to have a talk with her aunt later. As they joined the wolf declan laughed
"Nice little ruse my boy that you used on them. Though if you really wanna learn how to fight. How about later tonight to get some proper rest me and you spar for a bit. Let your old man teach you what he knows"declan said pretending to punch the air
Xander smiled at that"sure might be fun because i uh…seriously i thought they'd punch me in the ribs again'he said because that was nerve racking but his father tail wagged around like crazy at that moment on the declaration as they began to walk abroad. But as they did bastet was in the middle of saying goodbye to her husband and daughter
"Now dear be careful out their i would love to come with. But i do think one capple huntsman should stay on the island. Just incase they try to attack again"Fenix said
Bastet sighed"i know dear but don't you worry your little head. We'll get to havan and stop the attack hoepfully my father can be helpful. I haven't talk to mom in a while and it would be great to catch up"she said as her daughter hugged her mother legs
"Please come back safe momma"lavi cutely said as bastet smiled kneeling down hugging her daughter close in her arms.
"I'll be alright sweetie and when i come back. Grandma and grandpa can say hi i'm sure you've missed them"bastet said as it brought a smile to her face
"Yeah grandpa!"lavi cheered as the women smield as walking over was vance until the girl zipped over hugging his leg as he lifted one leg up as she held onto it
"Is uncle vance leaving too"she cutely asked as it made some hearts melt as he blushed embraced before staring at zoey and colt for a moment as the two grinned at him.
"Well isn't that just cute your being called an uncle….let me guess she loves to follow you all over the place. Does the big bad fish eating lynx have a soft side"zoey cooed making him go flush
Sun chuckled"dude you should have seen him in vacuo. Everytime he wasn't getting into scraps with others he was busy dotting on her. Seriously i saw him one time buy her a giant stuffed animal"he said adding more to his embarrassment
"Come on your damaging my cool guy cred. Seriously i;ve done a bunch of cool stuff this was just uh…"he coudlnt' come up with anything as jazmine laughed walking past him.
"Man swirl will have a laugh if she sees this. It happened at the house but its still very cute"jazmine said walking onboard as he groaned before hugging the girl goodbye. Eventually all of them began to board the ship at that moment as a group of faunus was bidding them farwell right now.
As some of them threw flowers at the vessal along with some throwing confetti off the ship to celebrate their voyage. The ships engines began to roar to life that was loud enough to be heard throughout the entire island at that point. As it created a gust of wind as the ship began to slowly get off the air as black and purple energy swirled udnerneath it suggesting gravity dust emitters
The ship was flying off as watching them leave was mari, tia along with beatrix and fenix. The four waved to them goodbye as some peeked over the edge of the ship waving to them seeing them off. As the ship was gaining some altitude as beatrix sighed
"I do wish them all the best of luck on their journey to havan. I hope everything will go smoothly for them on that journey of theirs"beatrix said with hope
Tia laughed"i'm sure everything will be fine because were stuck with baby sitter patrol here"she replied as mari sighed as james was next to her right now. As the two were now dating despite the age gap.
"I'm just happy my eldest niece is here along with my youngest. Now lets go back to the house and have some…"mari stopped before seeing where piper was next to her but she began to look around the place but found no sign of her making her begin to freak out.
"Where is piper?!"mari shotued in complete worry right now although that little bear was somewhere else right now. Mainly somewhere where her sister was on right now as she wanted to join to see someone.
After maybe a half hour of the ship making its way through the ocean it was making a good pace despite being very large. The ship rocked a little occasionally though traveling the deck right now was blake and company. As jaki was busy giving them a small tour of the ship right now.
"As you see here we design this ship like most cruise vessel you would see occasionall.y but we've added our own twist to things"jaki begun
"Let me guess a butt load of expeirmental weapons on the ship"kali kwnoignly said a sthe cold weaponsmith turned to avert her gaze for a minute
"I um….well not experimental. I've actually had installed standard issue atlas chain gun turrets as for a defense for any grimm that might come out way"he said gesutirng to a metal hatch close by on the floor of the ship. Their were maybe about eight on each side of the ship closed hiding in their ships main defnese
"Well i'm happy we got something to defend ourselves because uh spears and guns aint gonna do much aganst flying grimm"yumi pointed out.
"You don't think we know that. Though we got some major guns now thanks to the weapons you supplied us. Few people here even got body armor"zoey said gesutring to some faunus who were now sporting some armor with their groups colors on it. As blake just couldn't stop smiling right now seeing all of this.
Kali noticed her smiling"i take it my eldest is very happy that were actually standing up to the white fang finally"she said as she nodded
"I am because this means alot to our people right now. Seriously i can't even imagine how big this will be for our kind. It might even change how people view us"blake said with hope as zoey stared at her for a bit
"Well we had alot of help kid. Though surprised your coming with us lisa….thought you be back at your place. Pushing pencil"zoey said with venom it seems as lisa decided to join them on the voyage. Mainly because she had some knowledge in the area around mistral dense forest since she lived around their for a bit at one point
"Oh uh i just wanted to come support this wonderful cause. Along with making sure my daughter doesn't decide to fool around tool much along the way"lisa said as her daughter blushed crossing her arms at that moment
"Mom…come on….i…why do you gotta say it like that. Your embarrassing me"sombra whined as they laughed but the fox kept her glare for a bit as her tail thrashed
"Nothing much just surprised that someone who wanted to kill my family wanted to come. Still pretty pissed off at a few people on this ship."zoey said dropping a hint as it got awkward for a moment as the fox began to walk away
"I gotta check up on my men with saber. I'll be in the command deck if you need me"Zoey said walking off as their was an awkward silence as lisa looked down rubbing her wrist for a bit right now. Declan notice her striff
"Dear i know you feel terrible for how you acted. Shes needs to take time on how you feel terrible for your actions"declan reassured as a boxer sighed
"Takes alot to get on her bad side. Though by how you acted during the speech and how you look right now. You feel guilty right?"Colt asked as she nodded
"I do…still troubles me to hear how my husband was actually gone. What i wouldn't give to see him act like himself one last time at some point. But enough with my drama lets continue this tour"she said as they nodded cotniuing the tour around the vast ship
The tour then brought them to several places around the entire ship at that moment. Mainly being the mess hall that was very large in size located below deck safe for anyone to eat. As their were metal tables around the entire room along with a serving area with a wide variety of food. Their was also a pantry their as the kitchen could be seen from the entrance
As several fuanus and workers were right now busy eating something right now to star their day. While they did their was also some vending machine around the place that was stocked up with what they need if the current menu doesn't fit their pallet. Their was also a freezer in the back for all the cold food
"Here we are in the mess hall. Its quite simple and you can find anything you need if your starving. We usually have breakfast served from 8 to 10, for lunch its from 12 to 2 and finally for dinner its at 7. Enough time for anyone to rest and relax between meals"jaki said
Jazmine nose was assaulted by some of the smells sighing"man whatever someone is making right now smells good"she said as close by someone laughed
"Well my husband shop did get request to help along the way here. I'm happy to help after my little girl was safely returned to me"becca said as close by jae was their who groaned loudly
"Mom….i'm not a little kid anymore i'm like sixteen now get it right."jae rudely replied as becca tanked slightly on her youngest tail as she yelped
"Sweetie don't have such harsh language with me. Because i'm going to get rid of that filthy mouth of yours if you start throwing f bombs around the place"becca warned pulling a sandal up as the girl froze up seeing that.
"Okay no swearing got it! I'm gonna keep helping dad see you later"jae said quickly running off to help her dad prepare some meals as aruna luagehd slightly at her.
"Man i'm lucky that i don't swear that much….though i am gonna miss my baby brother. Its suck that we have to leave him behind on the way here"aruna sadly said as her mother sighed with a worried expression
"I'm alot more worried than you dear. I trust the others back in menagerie but i'm rather worried about leaving him by himself that long. For starters he been kidnapped…survied a grimm infested ship when he was bron."sienna started as her ears twitched like crazy
"And lastly their how he survived an assault on the island and his little ears are properly damaged from all that loud gunfire"she said with worried as katherine sighed placing a hand on her shoulder to calm her
"Relax dear i'm sure everything will be fine. Mari is an excellent caretaker for the kids their i;m sure everything will be fine. You two will be safely returned in no time just realx"She softly advised as the women took her advice taking some breaths. But as they began to walk around the place soon enough someone called out to declan
"Declan my friend their you are how have you been?"a male voice called out
As walking over was a man who seemed close to the wolfs age as he had tan skin along with having light brown eyes. As his hair was medium blue with a pair of blue cat ears atop his head. Along with that he had an athletic build to him as he seemed around 5.10.
While his attire mainly consisted of brown khakis along with a blue tanktop underneath a black vest with some grey fur trimm on it. Though once xander saw him he flinched looking away a little.
Declan smiled"tom my friend. How have you been i thought you weren't going to come abroad our little cruise to havan"he asked as the cat faunus named tom sighed
"I'm going to come if i can get a shot at that psycho who took my son away. Seriously right now i'm glad to hear that were putting a stop to weaver"Tom growled back
"Your not the only one here. Seriously that guy is a pure psycho i'm still surprised how you even took him in"colt commented
Kali looked down for a moment since her family did tak adam in but it seems that boy might be regretting his actions from what she discussed with calida and verona in some free time.
Verona scoffed"yeah no kidding heard from someone else how the guys used to be friends with them. But you know saying he wants to kill everyone including faunus puts him on a list."she added as the man nodded before looking toward xander smiling a little
"Though i hear my son best friend is also still alive. Its nice to see you again xander how have you been?"tom asked making the wolf jump a little
"Oh uh me?...i've…i've been fine though uh how have you been dealing with ummm ben being gone?"he asked as the man looked down for a moment with a downcasted look at the moment. Then he smiled a little looking at them
"I've been better lately….still pretty hard to think about the only son i lost is now asleep. But um me and my wife wanted to help. She should be around here somewhere helping we should talk sometime dec see you later"tom said walking away as he waved to them as they continued their tour. But xander forgot about one thing that he wanted to do on the island apologize to ben parents for getting him killed
Soon enough their tour took them all around the ship as they checked out the medical bay to see what it has to offer. Along with that they also checked out the armory briefly along with that they were shown their bunk areas that seemed to fit about twelve people in each. With enough beds for everyone to use. As right now they were on the main deck as jaki was finishing it off
"That concludes the tour of this fine and mighty vessel. I hope you all enjoy your trip because i expect a five star review by the end of it"jaki coldly joked earning some look
"Yeah lets keep the pun making to professional frosty"calida stated to her husband disappointment
"Well if thats done what the heck do we do now. Just hang out on this ship or whatever for like five days. "Sun asked as most of them began to separate from each other answering his question at that moment. As it just left ilia and sombra with him as the three stared at each other
"So….now what do we do you guys wanna grab a bite to eat or what?"ilia asked as the two lovebirds stuck very close to each other as sombra nuzzled up against him.
"Maybe though me and sunny could also spend quality time with each other"She seductivly said making the boy go flush as his tail drooped
"I uh….come on cat tail their are people here. Rather not make things awkward and give a certain someone ammo to tease us"he replied as the cat leaned against him
"Oh it can't be that bad besides i'm happy to finally have a boyfriend. God if my dad was here he would ask you to wrestle"sombra said before the thought of what kate said early came to her mind as he looked down upset which they noticed
"Hey you doing okay over here?"ilia asked concerned
"What is what that wasp chick said early getting to you or something?"sun asked as his grielfined thought for a moment as it was. Because her and onxyia used to be friends with mitch and her as kids. Until one day they started to avoid them pretending like they didn't even know them anymore.
"A little…just hurt that she still acting like this when we were we used to be friends now she just pretends that she doens't even know us. She actually stood up to seth with me when he used to bullie onxyia"she mentioned to their surprise a little
"Her? That girl who made fun of my little sister"Eden said walking over with a look that doens't make her buy it.
"Oh hey eden guessing your coming along with us on this little journey to mistral. You sure your up for it"sun asked as the bear returned a narrow gaze
"Sun i've survived a hellscape for about three years now. Granted i'm still pretty messed up from it but i;ve got alot more bite to give. Because i finally got my dad weapons back from that mutt"she said gesutring to the machetes in her hands that peeked their interest a little
"Those are your dads they looked pretty poorly maintenance sort of. But does that mean your dad used to be a huntsman?"ilia asked as the girl nodded before looking down for a moment sighing
"As for the used to part all i could remember that day years ago is traveling with miyuki to drop her grandma off. She was pretty famous back in atlas i guess but you know why i'm sure"eden replied as they knew that miyuki grandmother must have been the previous fall maiden before her passing long ago.
"Yep. though i take it you had to see something heartbreaking that day."sun saldy replied as she nodded
"I saw…i saw my own dad dead on the ground that thing must have done it. Then i…i…saw some dam merc shot my mother dead right infront of me and my sister. Then i…then the experiments begun."she explained shivering as some mermoeis came crawling back from her past but sombra noticed this before she just pulled the girl into an embrace holding her close to calm her down
"Shill out okay because freaking out will solve nothing right now. I know it hurts that you went through something like that. But you survived one obstacle and you can do it again….just be their for your baby sister. Survive this to make it back to her"sombra wisly said as the bear faunus smiled separating whipping some tears away from her eyes
"I…really needed that thank you. Where did you hear that from?"she asked
"Probably a fortune cookie or something"Sun sarcsaitcally said
Sombra gave a side eye"no i actually heard it from my dad thank you very much. Despite him acting like an idiot he was a leader for a reason. Seriously he sometime switch to a serious side in like that"She said snapping her fingers
"Really? Well thats just interesting though um still sorry for your loss. At least hes home"ilai said as she appreciated it. Until evneutllay someone was sneaking up behind ilia it seems as the creaking of wheels could be heard. Until suddenly someone grabbed the girl by the hips squeezing them
"Theirs my little ilia i thought i wouldn't be able to find you after sneaking on board"akasha said behind her which startled the group that she was here
"Aka! What are you doing here? Your suppose to be back on menagerie with the others waiting for us. You said you'd go house hunting with the money we were gifted"ilia whined a little as the falcon rolled her eyes
"Hey i didn't want to do that without my girlfriend alright. Besides blake actually let me come aboard"akasha said to their surprise she let the girl in the wheelchair come aborad a vessel going to war praticualry.
"She let you come on board…okay we gotta call her to see if that is true"sun said raching for his scroll but she stopped him pointing something out
"Well i'm also here to help with bomb difusel along with telling people on what to watch out in this place. My dad used to be a cargo ship pilot and took me around on his personal ship around her when i was little"akasha mentioned which peeked some interest hearing that
"Your dad was a pilot? Huh thats interesting was he any good?"sombra questioned
"Oh he was best pilot here second to those guys in the atlas fighter squadrons. Though uh he loved to take me on these trips until well eventually he um…"she paused as they were dreading what might be implied
"Don't tell us he passed on were sorry for your–"sun was stopped immeidaty
"Uh my dad aint dead. He went missing three years ago after on a cargo run after some thugs took over his ship. I've never seen him since all i got left is my mom who still holds hope that hes somewhere out their. "Akasha corrected
"Oh uh thats nice though you guys wanna grab a bite to eat realy quick?"sun asked as they all nodded before quickly heading down to the cafeteria. Once they were down their already grabbing some food was coco along with akata as eden decided to split off to go do some things in her room she was assigned
As the two of them were engaged in a csaully conversation right now.
"So lady you think after were done here we'll do a little celebration party after we save havan"coco stated eating some food
"I sure hope so because all i know is when i'm done. Me and foxy will be spending quality time with each other"akata teasingly said as her tail swayed around as they joined them as ilia sighed
"God you have a dirty mouth just like aka here"ilia said as the two eyed akasha surprised to see her here right now.
"Huh your here falcon wings? Thought you'd be back in menagerie chilling or whatever"Coco replied
Akasha shrugged her shoulder"i have some knowledge in the area here and i know how the fang operate. Few times me, trifa and yuma discussed on possible plans the fang might have in our free time trapped in the safehouse"she explained
"That might be beneficial though lets just hope everything will be smooth sailing"sun said as they were close to the kitchen until something could be heard crashing from their drawing some attention. As sun and sombra eyed each other with akata following them. Walking into the kitchen shawn and some other were staring at the pantry door.
"You cooks drop something back here and make a mess?"akata asked snarky
"Let me guess someone slipped today meal sloppy joes"sombra joked but the sushi chef looked at them very puzzled right now
"No we just heard a noise come from their and thing is none of us were in their. All the staff for the kitchen are right here…somethings in their"shawn advised as they got what he was implying as cautiously sombra took point with her spear slowly opened the door as it creaked
Once inside their was a large stockpile of food ranging from bags of rice, canned food, snacks, bread, and several others things along with jars of several others things. As her and some other slowly approached the source of the noise she shushed them.
Right as they got close they jumped out to find out what this mysterious stowaway was but all of them stared down confused. Because on the floor with a pot of honey right now was piper who had her hand in a pot of honey right now eating it. They all stared surprised
"Ummmm piper?!"sun shouted surprised as the uras faunus smiled with honey all over her hands and face walking over hugging his legs.
"Monkey"piper cheered cutely as they were surprised to find her on board as they might need to tell the others about something that had happened.
Although in the command deck right now their were a line of consoles around the place. Along with several people their hard at work with a steering wheel manned by the captain of the ship who was a female women
The women seemed in her late forties with pale skin along with grey eyes. Her hair was brown with streaks of grey through it tied into tight bun with a clapsed elabroated headdress. She wore a simple light brown bluse and crimson and coal coat emboiard with dragons over a dark green skrit. Clapsed together by a broach.
"It seems we'll be having smooth sailing through here it should be a few days till we arrive for our desitnatin"She said as ghira nodded
"Thank you miss zheng…i do admit surprised to meet someone of your caliber maining a vessel for our people. We can't thank you for doing this"he thanked as the women known as zheng nodded
"I owe jaki here an old favor after him and his team back in the day saved my skin from a bad deliver. Though asking me and my crew to assist you old friend was a surprise"she said as the man chuckled
"Well i'm sure you'd be happy to assist us if you had a chance to become famous among the faunus people"jaki simpy replied
Zheng smiled"i may be old for my age but i'm also a great sea captain. Used to run ships with atlas a few times. Wanna hear an interesting passenger i had one time"zheng said starting some small talk as she continued to steer the ship
Blake hummed looking over the table with summer and zoey right now. Along with that veorna, bastet that joined them as was saber and declan. As it was a map of mistral as they were keeping an eye out for anything that might catch their eyes on the map. Since it has sonar technology.
"Sure anyone interesting you've traveled with might pass the time"the cat asked as the women thought for a bit.
"I once had nicholas schnee on one of my vessel. True story the man asked for me to transport him to menagerie actually long ago. Along the way we met with some pirates though that man i'll tell you. In his youth he was a very kind man and well…a good friend."zehng simply said
Declan laughed"well thats very interesting though i'm sure we can swap tales along the way. I..-"he was stopped before suddenly a nearby radio started to come to life close by confusing them. As radio operator started to turn the diles as they faced them
"Something going on over here?"zoey asked as the operator turned to them messing with the knobs still
"I'm picking up a nearby transmission….it…seems very close let just…adjust this and"he said as soon enough a voice came on the other end of the radio speakers
"If anyone is hearing us. This is arrastra syke and i need help right now because i got a bunch of refugee with me. Along with that some other guys who been keeping some thugs off our back. Whoever in that big ship please send help"a women voice said on the other end but delcan eyes slightly widden upon hearing that voice right now. Along with bastet who went wide eyed
"Seems some people ae in trouble…we don't have time to play hero. We gotta keep moving"summer stated firmly but bastet stopped her
"Hold on that would be my husband teammate arrastra….what she doing out here she should be in kuchisake."bastet commented
"Okay so what?"saber questioned
"Arra knows mistral better than anyone since she lived here all her life. That women been around place and shes got connection. We help her and she gives us intel"declan said as they thought for a moment as blake sighed regretting this but they need all the help they can get
"Okay follow me we can drop anchor for now contact the other vessels to halt. "Blake ordered as her and some others decided to chekc out this mysterious radio call.
Seems blake and the others picked up a mysterious single from someone in the valley below. Though it also seems we got a bit of backstroy on akasha along with piper sneaking aboard. Thanks for reading!
