"Lily? Wh-What are you doing?!" Tore squealed.
Lily huffed and puffed with nervousness and adrenaline as Tore continued to hold onto her wrist, the pistol in the air.
Lily didn't know what to do. Or say.
Lily knew this would happen. There was no way it would be that easy.. but now.. Lily was forced to face Tore.
"Lily.. please say something! What are you doing? Are you trying to kill me?... Why would you do that?! We're friends!" Tore was hysterical.
Lily couldn't do anything but try and think of something.. anything to get her out this situation in one piece. Lily was positive Tore wouldn't hurt her.. under different circumstances..
Tore has already killed when his life was threatened once; although the stories are conflicting. Tore claims it was an accident, the Shadowkin described it as a cold blooded killing, and Dubois had arrived only after the killing was over, so who knows what really happened?
One fact remained constant. Tore's life was in danger, and somebody died.. Lily was terrified.
"If I-If I... tell you.. are you.. going to kill me?" Lily asked softly.
Tore gasped softly as his eyes developed tears.
"What?... I don't want to kill anyone!!! Please... just tell me what's going on!" Tore pleaded.
BURST!!!!
Suddenly, Captain Rogers and a large group of Marines burst into the room. The Marines blocked the only exit to the room as they all aimed their rifles at Tore.
Captain Rogers aimed a common flintlock pistol at Tore.
"Greetings, Mr. Teira. Unhand the Queen, now." Captain Rogers ordered.
Tore looked at Rogers and the Marines with shock as he looked back at Lily.
"Q-Queen? What happened to Mr. Cotter? And What's the update on Papa Ubois?!" Tore cried, "I'm tired of being in the dark!"
The room was silent for a moment. Before Rogers spoke once more.
"Ubois murdered Cotter on The Mainland, as well as a slew of good men sent to retrieve him." Captain Rogers said.
Lily's eyes locked with Tore's once more.. both of them had a frozen "shocked" look.
Tore felt like his whole world crashing down.
"And on his behalf, you are sentenced to death." Rogers said coldly.
Tore and Lily never took their eyes off each other.
"Lily...? Please say it isn't true..." Tore pleaded.
Lily just shook and breathed heavily, not knowing what to say. What could she say? Lily's path was chosen when she squeezed that trigger.
"UNHAND THE QUEEN, NOW!" A Marine yelled.
"I-I... I don't want to be here anymore.." Tore said, "I-I just want to leave..."
"UN-HAND-HER-NOW!!!!!" Rogers yelled.
Tore slowly looked at Rogers and the others with his sharingan. Lily was frozen with fear and shock at this point, her body still shaking of desperation and uncertainty.
The group of Marines jumped slightly as Rogers stared with confusion.
Tore's eyes slowly turned into saw bladed patterns and started to spin very slowly.. then slowly getting faster and faster.
"Spinning eyes? Another ability of that power of yours? What is this a joke? Men! Prepare to-" Rogers was interrupted by guns clicking.
CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK!!!
Rogers looked around the room with fear as Marines pointed their guns towards Rogers.
"What the devil?! What is the meaning of this?!" Rogers yelled.
"PUT THE GUN DOWN! TOREBION!!!" A marine yelled.
"Excuse me, Whethington?! What are you talking about?!" Rogers asked.
"When did he get up?! And when did the captain end up on the bed?!" A Marine asked.
"Tore is of an alien spieces! They must have super speed!" Another Marine theorized.
"Impossible...!" Rogers said as he looked over to see himself slowly running past him.
Rogers' eyes widened.
"What...?!" Rogers gasped.
"Torebion let the Captain go! Is he a fool?! The Captain will surely bring more men!" A Marine laughed.
Rogers was completely hysteric now.
"I AM CAPTAIN ROGERS!!!! WHAT ARE YOU IDIOTS SEEING?!" Rogers snapped.
Lily finally snapped back into it and looked back slowly to see the Marines pointing their weapons at Rogers.
"Wh-What?" Lily asked.
"YOU GOD DAMNED IDIOTS!!! I AM CAPTAIN ROGERS!!!!" Rogers screamed, pointing his gun at a Marine.
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!!
Gunshots echoed all over the room. Everyone's ears rang violently as blood and brains littered the clothes of the Marines, the walls, and the floor.
Lily clutched her ears and groaned until the ringing stopped.. and her already traumatized state grew even worse as she saw Rogers' head was completely blown off.
The Marines celebrated ending "Tore's" life.. until one by one.. they began to realize what they had done.
"C-C-C..." A Marine choked.
"CAPTAIN ROGERS!!!!!!!!!!" A Marine screamed at the top of his lungs.
"LOOK TOREBION IS GONE!" Another Marine yelled.
"WHAT THE HELL?! HOW DID HE DO THAT?!" A third Marine chimed in.
"I'M SICK AND TIRED OF THESE GOD DAMN CURSES!!!!" A fourth Marine spit, running out Tore's room after Tore.
"TORE RAN INTO THE SANCTUARY! CHASE HIM DOWN!!" A Marine screamed.
"END HIS LIFE!! FOR LOWERY! FOR ROGERS! FOR THE WORLD GOVERNMENT!!" Another Marine added.
Lily stared at Rogers' cold, stiff body as her ears began to slowly ring again from disassociation. Lily's pupils shook violently, trying to make sense of everything.
Tore ran into the sanctuary and attempted to go out the giant front door, but was unable. It had been modified to be locked from the outside.
"Huh? Th-They locked it?" Tore asked.
"STOP!!!" A Marine yelled, "YOU GOD DAMN DEVIL!!!"
Tore looked over with nervousness as Marines lined the room.
"You. Are going. To die." The same Marine said coldly.
"You made us kill our Captain you son of a bitch!!!" A Marine yelled, shooting Tore in the side of the neck.
"GAH!!!" Tore yelled in pain as blood leaked from the wound before healing slowly.
"Look he can heal himself boys! We'll be able to have lots of fun with him before he dies!" A Marine yelled.
"Look around you alien! There's no where to run! No where to hide!" Another Marine taunted, referring to the boarded windows.
Tore's sharingan filled eyes developed tears.
"You don't understand! I'm dangerous! I'm not trapped in here with you!... It's the other way around!" Tore pleaded.
"Who the hell do you think you are?!" A Marine yelled, before taking aim.
Almost immediately, a choking smell began to fill the room.
"Gack! What is that?! It smells like..." A Marine was interrupted.
"F-FIRE!" Another Marine yelled.
Tore's eyes widened as he looked back at the door to Ubois' church.
A fire had been lit from the outside and the church was catching fire rapidly.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY DOING?! DON'T THEY KNOW WE'RE IN HERE?!" A Marine screamed.
Marines began to scream and beg for help inside the quickly burning church.
Outside the church a tall, burly man watched with regret as the church began to burn. The man stared with shock and despair as he could hear the screams of his colleages inside.
The man wore big black boots, black pants, a black belt with a gold World Government buckle. He also wore a white and blue vertically striped shirt with a velvet, blue and white diamond patterned vest with a Marine jacket hanging over his shoulders.
The man's long, flowing, blonde hair and beard gracefully blew in the chilly wind under his white and blue trimmed tricorn hat.
DAVY JONES (903 Years ago)
Davy Jones breathed in and out heavily and slowly, as he stared at the burning church as Marines ran away from the church, carrying torches.
"The fire is lit Captain Davy!" A Marine yelled.
Davy continued to stare with conflicting feelings.
Davy and Rogers sat on deck of a Marine warship on its way back to Okino Island earlier tonight.
"A time limit?" Davy asked Captain Rogers.
"Aye." Captain Rogers confirmed.
"You-You'll die... you know that right?" Davy asked.
"Aye! Just as plenty of our brothers and sisters have died for the World Government before. How is this any different?" Rogers asked.
"You're telling me to light the church on fire with all of you in it if you fail to kill Tore in time... that's entirely different than being killed on a battlefield.." Davy said, "It's-It's... It's murder!"
"What do you want to hear Davy? That's just how it goes." Rogers said.
"What about Lily? Wasn't she made Queen? What if she dies too?" Davy asked.
Rogers' rolled his eyes.
"Then another person will be assigned King or Queen, you're making this a lot more complicated than this has to be." Rogers said.
Davy shook his head.
"It just doesn't make sense..." Davy said, "We've turned into killers.. and now our own have to die now?"
Rogers groaned and stood to his feet.
"Come on. We need to go meet with the Queen. It's best you stop asking all these questions, Captain Davy. The World Government didn't take control of 170 countries and gain the backing of 19 Kingdoms by being pleasant." Rogers said, walking off the just docked ship.
Davy continued to stare at the now completely engulfed church as other Marines watched with him.
Marines took off their hats in memorial of the men who surely died inside the church. Davy shook his head slowly and turned around before spotting something. An axe.
Davy looked back with concern at the church as the fire raged.
"C-Captain Jones?.." A Marine said, Davy didn't acknowledge the soldier. Davy just continued to stare at the flames.
Davy shook his head slightly faster as he began to make his mind up.
"Just because I've accepted my sins... doesn't mean I have to commit more!" Davy yelled, running to the axe.
"Captain?" Another Marine asked.
Davy ran to the church with the axe.
"CAPTAIN! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" A Marine yelled, "You're not about to do what I think you're about to do are you?!"
"Captain think! You know the consequences of betraying the Government! You're a captain!... We-We'll have to kill you!"
Davy turned around with tears in his eyes.
"Then you will have to kill me! If I keep killing for this lost cause I might as well be dead!" Davy yelled.
The Marines raised their rifles.
"CAPTAIN DAVY PLEASE! RE-THINK THIS!" A Marine cried.
"WE-WE DON'T WANT TO KILL YOU CAPTAIN! BUT WE DON'T WANT TO DIE!" Another Marine yelled.
"THINK FOR YOURSELVES FOR ONCE YOU FOOLS!" Davy yelled, running towards the church and slamming his axe into it to break it open.
As a further precaution to prevent any outsiders from getting in, the only keys were left on Rogers' person.
Davy continued to slam the axe into the door until he was able to see inside just barely.
POW!
Davy coughed up blood as he clutched his side and fell to his knees. Davy looked back with fright.
Another man walked up, this man wore all white with a mask he held over his face by the stick it was attatched to, his pistol releasing a small stream of smoke from just being fired.
"That will be enough, you're under arrest, Davy Jones." The man said.
"Y-You shot me!" Davy groaned.
Marines nervously looked at the man.
"Wh-Who are you?!" A Marine asked.
"I was assigned the name "Goose Stillwell," by the Government. I fight on behalf of their Cipher Pol Negative Unit." Goose said.
"Cipher Pol... Negative?" A Marine questioned.
POW POW!!!
Goose immediately killed the two Marines in cold blood to the horror of Davy Jones.
"No one can know about Cipher Pol Negative, not even allies." Goose said.
Davy coughed up more blood with his hand over his mouth, his white tricorn hat falling off and his blonde hair falling over his face.
Goose slowly walked towards Davy with his pistol drawn. Davy put a hand up.
"Goodbye." Goose said, aiming the pistol.
Davy's life flashed before his eyes before Lily came limping around the church to the surprise of Davy and Goose.
"L-Lily?" Goose asked as Davy quickly ran into the flames and into the castle.
Goose angrily shot into the flames and lowered his pistol.
"You've killed yourself anyway Davy.. I'm not going to chase you into a death trap." Goose said, looking at Lily.
Lily fell to her knees, her body and clothes covered in soot.
Lily's tears fell from her face softly as the newly appointed Queen looked at the burning church.
Lily had taken a hidden fire exit through a trap door under Tore's bed to escape the flames. Lily coughed and gagged until Goose extended a hand.
"My name is Goose Stillwell, you must come with me Ms. Queen." Goose said.
Lily stared frightfully at Goose's goose mask before looking at the church once more and remembering life before all this.. but that was over now, Lily's side was chosen.
Lily slowly reached up and put her hand in Goose's palm as the agent slowly stood her up. Ubois' church continuing to rage violently.. but still standing.
"Tough church." Goose said, walking off.
Lily turned to follow Goose, but looked back at the church... for the last time, before walking away with the agent.
Inside the raging church, Davy clutched his side as the smoke and flames immediately overwhelmed him.
"Gah!!" Davy choked as he covered his mouth.
"Running in here was suicide!... But so was staying out there with that agent.. I guess.. I guess I'm officially a traitor now... if I survive this.. they'll come for me... no doubt about it!" Davy said to himself as he looked around and saw a shocking sight.
Tore sat against a wall with his head in his arms, his knees to his chest. Davy was completely shocked.
"He-He's... not even trying to escape?... Isn't this man supposed to be some sort of all powerful alien?... Why would he just sit here and die?..." Davy asked himself.
Davy groggily walked over to Tore who slowly raised his tear filled face. Tore's sharingan staring a hole through Davy. Davy was frightened by the eyes.
"Wh-What the hell is up with his eyes?" Davy asked himself.
"Wh-Who are you?" Tore asked.
Davy hurried and threw his Marine jacket in the flames.
"I'm ugh... Davy Jones..ugh.." Davy groaned with pain, slowly making his way to Tore and sitting next to him.
Tore made a confused look, dried tears still on his face.
"Why'd you throw your Marine jacket in the fire mister?" Tore asked.
Davy panicked to himself.
"I... uhhhh..." Davy stammered, but sighed in defeat.
"I was the captain in charge of overseeing your execution... the Government ordered me to set the church on fire if my unit failed to come out of the church.." Davy said, looking to the side with regret.
Tore looked at the raginh flames.
"Oh.." Tore said softly, "Are you-um, not going to try to kill me? What about your job?"
Davy shook his head.
"What job?.." Davy asked.
Tore was slightly shocked.
"I broke in here to save my unit from being burned alive... and a Government agent marked me for death right there.." Davy said.
Tore stared with slight surprise as he looked at the destruction inside the church.
"Th-They marked you for death?" Tore asked, looking at Davy's wound then up at Davy who had his head turned.
Tore continued to stare at Davy with empathy before a tear fell from Davy's face.
"The same people I loved... want to kill me!..." Davy yelled in pain.
Tore's eyes widened immediately, Tore felt the same way Davy did.
"That makes two of us.." Tore said.
Davy looked at Tore.
"You-You... You're nothing like the Government says.." Davy said.
Tore gave Davy a confused look.
"Wh-What do they say?" Tore asked.
Davy looked at the burning ground.
"They say... you're an alien scum.. with the power to destroy anything in your path..." Davy said.
Tore stared at Davy with sadness.
"Wh-Why do they say that?.. They don't even know me! They don't know even me and they want me dead.." Tore said, "To do all this.."
Tore and Davy looked around the continuously burning church.
Davy shook his head.
"I was just following orders.. by the way.." Davy said nervously.
Tore looked at Davy.
"I-I know.. you all were.." Tore said.
The two sat in the church for a moment longer.
The fire caused a wooden beam to land on Davy's leg.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Davy yelled.
Tore smiled and stood up.
"We should probably get out of here, huh?" Tore laughed.
"Maybe I should have killed you!" Davy yelled angrily.
Tore laughed and kicked the wooden beam off Davy's body and lifted the hood on his cloak before lifting Davy to his shoulders.
"Alright! I already cut a man sized hole in the door-"
Davy was interrupted by Tore blasting towards the door.
"Hey! What the hell are you doing?!" Davy yelled.
Tore jumped towards the door while spinning and slammed his foot into the door, blasting it open!
Davy's eyes shot out of his head.
"YOU COULD'VE DONE THAT THIS ENTIRE TIME FOOL?!" Davy yelled.
Tore looked at Davy with a nervous smile.
"A lot has been going on tonight man!" Tore said.
Pow!!
Tore immediately backflipped, dodging the bullet and letting Davy go, before landing and catching Davy once more.
Davy was astonished.
"He's amazing!... He certainly powerful.. but not some mindless weapon the Government made him out to be!.. What else?... Have they lied about?!" Davy said to himself as Goose walked up, loading a pistol.
Tore stared angrily at Goose, who aimed his pistol.
"Stop right there, Torebion Teira." Goose said, "You and Davy Jones will die, right here. Tonight. Either by my hand or you can get back in that church and fry. Those are your only two options."
Tore stared at Goose. Davy grit his teeth.
"Turncoat and working with the most wanted man on the Government's radar in the same night.. you must really want to die." Goose said.
"IF SAVING MY ALLIES LABELS ME A TURNCOAT THEN I WEAR THE LABLE PROUDLY!" Davy yelled.
"Don't worry, you won't have to worry about the label much longer." Goose said.
"Hey." Tore said to Davy.
"Eh?!" Davy sounded.
"Is this?... The man who shot you?" Tore asked.
Davy was filled with shock.
"Y-Yes..." Davy said.
"Can I set you down, for a second?" Tore asked.
Davy nodded slowly as Tore set him down.
POW!!!
Goose fired his pistol but the pistol began to shake, as well as Goose's hand that held his mask over his face.
"I-Impossible..." Goose said.
Tore had caught the bullet and slowly looked at Goose with his sharingan.
Goose flinched as Tore flicked the bullet at Goose, shooting through the stick that held his mask.
"NO!" Goose yelled, dropping his pistol to cover his face with both hands. Tore blitzed Goose and loaded a heavy punch!
Davy couldn't believe what he was seeing.
"Wh-What am I witnessing?... This man caught a speeding bullet... and fired it back... and that speed!.." Davy said with amazement.
Goose looked through the cracks of his fingers as Tore's arm turned black and hardened as it slammed into Goose's stomach, causing the agent to cough up mucus.
Tore growled as Goose went flying through the forest and into a small Marine base, crashing through prison walls, steel walkways, and concrete walls.
"Wh-What the hell?! Who the hell is this?!" A Marine yelled.
"STOP! Don't touch him! None of you ever saw this man so help you!!" A captain yelled, "Contact Cipher Pol now!!"
"Yes sir!" A Marine saluted.
Tore looked up as he breathed heavily, relaxing and lowering his arm. Davy had gotten to his feet and slowly limped towards Tore.
"T-Torebion... th-that was amazing! Y-You-" Davy was interrupted by Tore crying.
"RAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" Tore screamed into the night.
Davy was completely shocked and didn't know what to do.
"T-Torebion! P-Please calm down! Wh-What happened?!" Davy asked to no avail.
Tore was finally releasing all the pent up emotion he felt from tonights events, starting with that agent.
Tore couldn't help but think of Mr. Cotter, Lily, and Ubois, who Tore was told killed Cotter. It was too much. Tore's brother Cyclone was already on The Mainland with no way to reach him either.
And finally the church he grew up in, attended an uncountable amount of services in, the only home he knew, was burning in front of him. Ubois would be heartbroken when he saw it, Tore just knew.
Tore screamed and punched through a tree, before turning a punching through another. Tore grit his teeth as he punched another tree, but his fist didn't go through.
Tore grit his teeth even harder as he began repeatedly punching the tree until his knuckles bled.
"TOREBION YOU MUST STOP! THAT'S AN ORDER!" Davy yelled as he reached out to stop Tore.
Tore flinched when the hand touched his shoulder. Tore was turned around slowly.
In the skies (Present Day)
Tore's lip quivered heavily. Robin's tears littered the pages of Tore's log.
Robin slowly turned the page and covered her mouth with her hand as her body flinched from fighting her tears.
Joy Boy and Tore were drawn with their arms around each other in a brotherly embrace, smiling.
Robin looked up at Tore who was looking into the sky with a smile.
Okino Island (903 years ago)
Tore's eyes met with Joy Boy's big goofy smile.
Tore's sharingan stared into Joy Boy's eyes with shock. Kotetsu stared at Tore's sharingan with shock.
"Th-The sharingan?..." Kotatsu asked, "N-No way.."
Davy looked at the three with confusion.
"St-Stop right there! Who are you fools?!" Davy yelled.
Joy Boy laughed.
"You sent that guy flyin' hahaha! You're strong!" Joy Boy laughed.
Tore just continued to stare in awe.
"You alright, friend?" Joy Boy asked.
