One Piece: The Hunt

Tizen: Grr.. Hmm, he's fast, very fast. Your speed, impressive. Are you some high ranked individual in these parts. If everybody is at this guys level, we have problems.

...................................

*Toroi is left standing after the attack, Konoro is down. Toroi has wounds all over his body.*

Toroi: Alright... round 2.

*Toroi ignites his fist on fire, and sends out massive amounts of destructive flames.*

Toroi: FIRE FIST!

"The huge eruption of fire fills the entire corridor, but upon contact, the same style of shield than before protects the woman"

woman: You are a lively one pirate

"Slicing the powerful fire attack with one blow, she moves forward and cuts Toroi across the shoulder, causing a massive wound and finally ending the fight"

Woman: "sigh"

"Other soldiers gather around, as the strange apparition disappears from the woman's soldiers"

Soldier: Are you alright Archmage Raila?
Raila: Just fine, no thanks to you lot. Set course for Irrewui. The damned attack failed, and we didn't even figure out why the hell that ship was so far out in the Grand Line

"As the ship changes course high in the air, we see a line dragon flying, trying its best to keep up. On top of it, Kizan, having somehow tamed the small dragon, shouts out orders"

Kizan: COME ON! FASTER! I CAN'T LOSE THEM!

"the swordsman grins"

Swordsman: Just hand over your weapons before I have to hurt you any further. And Wayder, for the love of good go tell the hag to get us back to Ur already. I'm getting sick of being out here

"Wayder grins and gives a mocking bow, before leaving"

*Tizen's grip tightens.*

Tizen: You think I care about odds. You want these swords, come pry them from my cold dead hands.

*With that Tizen dashes forward at high speed.*

Tizen: Two Sword Style: Thousand Strikes!!!

*Moving at indescribable speeds, Tizen gives off the illusion of having many arms as he attacks his opponent.*

"Just as the swords seem to connect, this swordsman does the seemingly impossible"

"With one swift blow, he blocks both of Tizen's swords, catching at a point they were uniting. He then, with another quick maneuver, cuts Tizen so badly he's lefts a bleeding wreck, with a giant slash running vertical from shoulder to waste"

Swordsman: My name is Yata Nobunaga. I am the General of the Nation of Kyotarton. I say this because I know a swordsman must keep his honor even in defeat

"He does a quick swing to wipe the blood clean and sheaths his katana, as Tizen collapses from blood loose. Elen runs to Tizen, putting her guns away"

Elen: TIZEN!!

Yata: Get him to a medical bay. Let the woman go with him. Take his swords and put them on the their ship

"Yata leaves as Tizan looses consciousness, his last sight of the General's turned back"

*After a short time skip, Toroi is the first to awaken. His wound hand been bandaged up as he obseves his surroundings, then remembers the fight and sighs.*

Toroi: Great... captured again.

"Toroi is in a cell, somewhere. Toshi and Konoro are there as well. Toroi has some cuffs that he finds familiar...sea stone"

---

"Meanwhile, Tizen wakes up in a cell, all bandaged up. Elen is there as well"

Elen: Tizen! About time you woke up!

Tizen: ...I'm fine, thanks for asking...

*Tizen notices they are imprisoned and his swords have been taken.*

Tizen: First, we get free of here, somehow. Then I get my swords back.

........................................

Toroi: Hmm, sea stone. Toshi, Konoro, you two up?

Elen: Good luck with that...I have no idea where we are...let alone how to get out. This is seriously insane. They just came out of nowhere!

"As Elen muses over their capture, a guard comes to bring the two of them food. Acting quickly both of them pretend to be asleep"

"He enters the cage, and just as he bends to put the food, Elen kicks him in the face and then Tizen with one punch knocks him out"

Elen: Alright. We need to get back to the ship...slowly. We don't even know where the hell we are

---

"Toshi slowly wakes up"

Toshi: My head...my head...ouch. Toroi...are those
Toroi: Yeah
Toshi: Damn...where is this place?

Toroi: Well, would appear to be cell.

...........................................

Tizen: We'll get out, once I find my swords. Or at very least, my family's sword. I'm not leaving without it.

Toshi: But where...just where the HELL are we anyway...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhUyo2ouG6U&feature=related

"Just as Toshi muses over this, explosions sound off in the distance and tremors start to shake the tower. Before either of them can access this new turn, the wall of their cell is blasted open"

"As they look outside they find a sight to behold. Ground troops with the same uniform and general theme as the red airship are attacking the building their on...which is protected by airships and dragons...and is basically a giant structured in the middle of a lake supported by 4 pillars

( https://i.servimg.com/u/f69/13/49/57/08/97ba9b10.jpg )

Toshi: What...the...just...what?!

----


"As Elen and Tizen run across the corridors, doing their best to avoid the patrols and guards, they eventually find the exit...only to be overwhelmed"

"The giant fortress they find themselves in is constructed on a shallow bridge. It seems to serve as a base. In the distance, Elen spots an airship hanger with the ship that attacked them...but it's past the town in the fortress, down the walls and across the left side of the bridge"

( https://i.servimg.com/u/f69/13/49/57/08/15c79c10.jpg )

Elen: What is this place...where the hell!! are we?!

"Elen's shock is supplemented by the fact they seem to be at a high level in the complex."

Elen: Come on...judging from this, the exit is down...oh this day is just perfect

---

"Meanwhile, elsewhere, we find Kizan making his way through an open plain"

Kizan: The dragon fainted...where in the hell am I?

"He continues to walk in the direction he thought he saw the airship carrying his crew went"

Tizen: Well, can't get worse.
Elen: How could it be worse?
Tizen: We could be dead.

..................................

Toroi: Well... I didn't expect this.

Elen: Pray we don't end up dead. And your wounds aren't even healed, so lets hope we don't have to fight

"Tizen shows Elen a sword, he had stolen from the guard"

Elen: Well at least we aren't disarmed

----

Toshi: Oh great...how the hell are we going to get out of here

...: By fighting

"Toshi and Toroi turn around and find the woman from before"

Raila: My name is Raila Borgrath, an archmage of the High Council of Erum, and the leader of the Mage Battle Division. You want your way out?
Toshi: Wa...
Raila: Currently my Empire of Erum is engulfed in a war with another nation. You help us and we let you go
Toshi: That's all fine and dandy...but there's also our friends and
Raila: As it stands, we are assuming they were captured by Kyotarton's navy. In other words...we need to keep fighting if you want to even dream of finding them

Tizen: It'd still be best not to fight, but hell, what's the odds. If I'm going to combat, I'm doing it armed.

..............................

Toroi: Looks like we either fight or rot here. I'd rather fight to be honest.

Kizan: NAAAKAAAMA! ELLEN TOSHI! WHERE ALL YOU GUYS!

"He was waking around, making fire in his his hands, wondering where everyone was"

Toshi: Alright then...but don't assume we'll be your loyal army or something
Raila: Far from it. I bet I wont ever set my sights on you filth again

"She waves her hands and Toroi is free of his chains"

Raila: Don't worry. I'll know full well if you try to escape. I'm going, there's a battle, so go

"She leaves"

Toshi: This is weird...but I guess she's probably not joking when she says she'll know

Konoro: Lets just get it then

"Konoro was awake and scares the shit out of Toshi"

Konoro: Lead the way fire boy, get us down there

---

"Elen and Tizen continue to walk along, finally finding a room they're forced to duck into because of nearby guards. In the room...they find a girl https://i.servimg.com/u/f69/13/49/57/08/09ff6d10.jpg sleeping on a pile of machinery yet to be assembled"

Elen: "whisper" keep quiet...lets just wait

*Toroi nods and starts leading the way.*

..........................

Tizen: If we wait to long, we'll be found. We can't exactly sit here.

"The girl starts to wake up, and Elen picks up a gun she had nearby her and aims at her head"

Elen: Alright girl, listen and listen good. I don't know who you are, or where we are, but I want to know HOW we get out

"The girl, scared out of her mind, answers"

girl: I'm the vice. head of the research division Wantana please don't hurt me the exit is down the stairs, second corridor, guarded by a large patrol, you'll have to force your way through

"She's crying as he glasses hand on her nose"

Elen: Well...that was easy enough
Wantana: Just don't hurt me ;_;
Elen: Alright alright...

----

"Toroi suddenly picks up the two and using his logia form, flies them right into the head of the battle"

"large knights seem to be fighting some sort of red fighting suits, as explosions, cannon fire and dragon fire erupt around the battlefield"
https://i.servimg.com/u/f69/13/49/57/08/sample15.jpg

Toshi: Damn! This is insane!!

"Toshi kicks the first red battle suit he sees and disables it instantly, Konoro uses another of his wind slice kicks to disable two more"

Toshi: Toroi! Use your logia powers to put yourself directly in the center of their battalion and go fire dome on their asses!!

Toroi: Time for a massive burn off then.

*Toroi fly's forward in a amorphous form of fire, looking like a fire blast without human shape and reforms in the middle of the enemy's troops.*

Toroi: Here we go, Fire Dome Attack!!!

*In a massive eruption of fire, a huge ass dome of fire fills the area, growing bigger as Toroi expands it.*

............................

Tizen: If only it could all be this easy. Alright, lets get going.

Elen: Alright hum...don't ring the alarm or we come back for you!

"Elen runs for it with the gun along with Kizan. The young girl looks dumbfounded...and doesn't ring the alarm"

Wantana: Lucky...all I have to do is not ring the alarm "smile"

---

"After the great blow, the army is forced to take steps back as the defending fighters are overwhelming them. Toshi kicks another of the battle suits across the entire battlefield and takes several more with him. Konoro's rankyaku's cut through several of them"

Konoro: Alright...we're doing it

---

"Meanwhile, Raila is standing with another man"

Raila: Well...they're much more useful than I had expected...which is very good.

*Tizen readies himself for the fight.*

Tizen: So, looks like we have to fight past the guards.

.................................

*Totoi is using various fire blasts to take out more of the enemy, pushing them back more.*

Totoi: By god, looks like we'll win this.

"Tizen and Elen are looking onto the main exit from a tower higher up"

Elen: Alright, so once we go down the stairs there's that patrol...10 guards, we have to take them down fast enough to get out. And we still don't know how to open the gates...there should be

"Just then, the gates start to open, and Yata and Wayder are seen entering accompanied by a large patrol as well"

Elen: Shit! If they're here, this makes it way to hard...but

"Elen notices a guard pull a level to close the gate again"

Elen: At least we know how to open the gates

TIzen: Well now, all we have to do is get through the gates without them knowing, at least right away. *grin* Aren't you glad we always get the easy jobs. It might be a good idea to wait and see if they enter the building, we can handle the guards without much resistance.

"As the two head inside"

Elen: Alright then

"Elen pulls out the gun she took"

Elen: Just go down the stairs, I've got your ass covered

"Tizen grins, and then jumps off the balcony straight into the small entrance plaza"

Elen: OH FOR FUCKS!

"Elen takes aim and starts to open fire as the guards notice Tizen"

----

"The red fighters are pulling back"

Toshi: Alright...now what?

"As Toshi muses over this, a man https://i.servimg.com/u/f69/13/49/57/08/7a482010.jpg walks up to them in a hurry"

---

"Meanwhile, Kizan has collapsed from lack of food. As he stays there unconscious, an old stumbles upon him"

Old Man: Well...this is interesting...

Tizen: Alright, lets go.

*Tizen starts swiftly slicing at guards that approach to attack him, using a single sword style combat that he appears surprisingly comfortable with, despite the fact he usually uses a 2 sword style.*

..........................................

*The man approaches the three.*

Man: Hello, hello you three. That was some display you put on there.

*Toroi notices and responds.*

Toroi: Thank you. Your a higher rank?
Man: I'm the general of these troops. General Delreth. Your presence really made things a lot easier here.
Toroi: So it would seem.

Toshi: Hmm...where the hell are we...and what the hell is going on here
Delreth: I'd ask you the same
Konoro: We were taken prisoners and forced to fight, it's that simple. We don't even know WHAT we are fighting for here.

---

"Elen quickly goes down the stairs and joins Tizen, as he finishes the guards, she operates the lever and quickly opens the door. As they two walk out, they look behind them to see a huge amount of soldiers gather from around the fortress"

Elen: Shit! Tizen run for it!

"The two run down the streets of the town that circles the fortress"
