The Blue Rock And I Fortress Of The Red Rock Arc Part Two

 The Pirates 


When I woke up it was the evening and I was covered in sweat. I soon slid out of the bed and walked over to the others, who were fixing the ship. Knowing that I had nothing better to do I then helped. While I was doing this I spirited Cho. She was deathly pale and almost gripping Uncle Haru's hand for dear life. Her hair was dry but the rest of her still wasn't.

I then walked up to her.

"Are you alright?"

"Are you?" She barely whispered.

"Yeah. Should be. I don't think…" I tailed off.

No, I should not say a word about that yet. Although I don't think I had a dream about that witch…

"Right."

I looked at Uncle Haru, worried.

"Are you alright?"

"Yeah."

"Will she?"

"In a day or two."

"Is it something to do with the real world?"

"Yeah."

"Do you?"

"No."

I nodded as I took her hand.

"Whatever happened back there was not your fault."

She moved.

"Could you say it? That it was not your fault."

"It was not-" She cut off.

Her eyes widened.

"Cho?"

She pointed to the horizon. I looked back to where she was pointing. There I saw it, a ship with coal black sails with a jolly Roger dead in the centre.

"Pirates!"

Quickly we all team to get ready. Then I ran to the Captain.

"We have pirates coming."

"What?"

With that he ran to the desk and saw them.

"All aboard! Pirates are coming!"

They all became alert and saw the ship.

"Pirates!"

With that they all dropped their tools and looked up.

"Shut up! Now split yourselves up and half of you keep working on the ship while the other half help those three."

"Aye!"

I nodded.

"Thank you."

"Good lass!"

Everyone screamed to get up for the fight.

"Cho! Will you be alright for this one?" Both me and Uncle Haru asked.

"Only if you two are!"

"Sure!"

"Uncle Haru!"

"What? Don't let me down!"

"I won't!"

We looked up. The ship was coming closer and closer. I noticed that Uncle Haru looked at Cho several times. He had a guarded look upon his face. I would have asked him why he was doing that but I realised that he too was worried about her. Knowing that none of us had any time to think about that, I looked back and pulled my blades out. I knew that it half mattered if I was ready, they were coming nevertheless and none of us could stop it. Soon the ship had come very close.

"Uncle, get to the cannons. You're the strongest and we're better off here. Don't worry I'll try to keep an eye on Miss Sango for you."

"Right."

I took a glance at her then back at the ship which was close enough to get an accurate measurement of the ship. To my shock I realised that it was bigger than I thought. I knew that the cannons would not prevent the pirates from coming on board. 

Then the first cannon shot. It was near the water and I guessed that this was Uncle Haru's idea. Then there was another one and another one. He did this until he made a perfect row. Yet the ship came closer and closer. There was another shot and another and soon there was a long line. That was when the ship was almost on top of us. This gave the cannons the opportunity to drive low and soon Uncle Haru blew a hole in the ship. This caused water to enter the ship as it sailed and began to sink.

Then the first pirate dropped. I dived to him and flicked my blades to his throat making his head roll. 

Then I looked at the two different levels of the ship.

"Miss Sango, take the stairs and get to the top. Protect the Captain!"

She nodded. 

I spotted another fall and I slashed to the right and the body fell. I was soon greeted by another and lowered myself all he slashed to where I was and I cut him in half. Then as more and more fell I continued to slash from right to left, from left to right, not giving any of them the chance to set for on the ship alive. Yet as I did this, again and again and again, cutting one after the other,I started to work up a sweat. Yet I kept going, not wanting to let the other two down. Yet soon my arms felt tired. 

Then I was struck and fell hard on my back. Then I looked up to see the pirate drive his blade down. I rolled out of the way. He then slashed down at me again and again and I continued to roll and roll. Then I was able to roll into my feet. I propelled myself up and with my knees bent over blades struck.

I took a glance at Cho. I saw that she was doing fine and she was cutting pirate after pirate. Her eyes were focused and seemed to become alive. It was all too clear, whatever had been getting to get a moment ago was gone and she wholeheartedly dedicated herself to the fight. She looked back at me, as if telling me to get back in the fight. Then I turned my attention to my opponent.

I pushed on and then, knowing that that would not be enough, kicked him square in the stomach. This drove him back. I charged at him and then slashed. He blocked. He struck and I blocked. We did this again and again, as we exchanged blows I became increasingly aware of my tiredness. However I could not afford to relent. Then it came, my tiredness caused me to lag. 

I was struck. I soon was back on the deck. I then kicked him in between the legs as hard as I could. Then I drove a punch into his face as hard as my tired arms could muster. This caused him to drop his swords. I then went to punch him again and again and again. He was soon able to black the last punch and I dived back and then ran to the edge of the ship, where the railing and deck still needed to be fixed. He ran to me and I spun and drove my ankle up into his back, causing him to fall overboard.

I had to take a break. As I crouched there, panting I looked to the right. The pirate ship was now in the ocean. I looked up as Cho and Uncle Haru came to me.

"Are you alright?"

I nodded.

"Just tired."

Scar Parents Fight Part Three

  Hunter’s Defence  Scar opened her eyes. She then walked down the stairs. She slowly took out her homework, just to take her mind off the day before she started doing it. She started with her maths to fode her mind to focus. She then moved onto literacy. After she had done both her mind felt sharp and clear of all of the upset. She looked up, it was half past seven. She then took a slice of bread. She then put it in the toaster and pulled out a tin of beans. Half of them had already been eaten the day feforeshe then put it in the bowl and then put it in the microwave for a minute. As she waited she picked up a newspaper. Three women arrested. They claimed to be witches yet none have any drugs in their system. They were arrested  for killing four children. When asked why they claimed  it was to obtain power. So they've been arrested. Good! She heard the beeping and soon put the beans on the plate then took the toast out and soon took out a fork. After ripping the toast in half she

The Nine Dragons The Serpent Dragon Part Three

  The Boa Army Loc was working hard in the field. It was getting to evening time. She had found that she liked working there as a farmer. There was just something so satisfying in doing hard work and made the food taste better and she slept better too. She could see herself doing this for the rest of her life however long that would be, yet she knew that she could not. Regardless of how much she liked the village and the people there. She had noticed that the people there looked almost like the people in her world just without any pupils and they were weaker too. She also noticed that despite this, they were all hard working and nothing was eaten until they had done their work. During this time she had completely recovered her whole energy and strength from all of the battles that she had on that day. She had also been able to gather her thoughts and psychology recovered and was able to have her time of mourning her losses from her rebellion. Yet she found that this might have been due

Doormaze Drage The Purple Artefacts Part Six

 The Purple Monster  “Why?” “Open the book and put all of the other Purple Artefacts into the page that it fits.” Doormaze nodded as she opened the book. On the first page as a hole where she put the Purple Purl in. The page glowed and for a moment. When the glowing died down the purl was in the page, almost like a picture. She then turned another page. There was another hole with a flower hole in. She then placed the Purple Flower in. It glowed and soon the flower was in the book. She turned the page, where she placed the Purple Feather in.  Once it became a picture the book glowed. Soon light flooded the room. All had to close their eyes as the light became far too bright. Then Doormaze no longer felt the book in her hands. She opened her eyes to see a light above her hands almost like a miniature star. What is this? Then it became so bright she had to close her eyes again. Then she felt something covering her body. It felt light and comfortable. Her eyes opened to see that she was c

Doormaze Drage The Purple Artefacts Part Four

  The Purple Book They travelled down the cave in West Mountain for an entire day. Yet they did not leave until the following day. They left the cave to see a group of small houses. They were all small and in the style of King Garnet’s castle. “This is the abandoned town of Faiton. It’s here somewhere. So I think we will have to go in them to find it. You need not worry, there has not been a single person seen here in decades.” The other three nodded. “And what does this next artefact look like?” “It is a purple book. It is made from the same material as the crystal flower.” “Right. Then, let’s split up and explore every house.” Doormaze spoke, punching her fist. “And mark the door of the house that has been checked and leave the door open while it's being checked.” “Good thinking.” They all split and walked into the first house that was closest to them. They all started on the ground floor. Then the first floor and the second floor. Upon seeing nothing, they left the house. They p

Doormaze Drage The Purple Artefacts Part Three

  The Purple Flower They, because it was late when they reached the top chamber, decided to take a break. They lit a fire and, after cooking a small stew, started to eat. “Now, tomorrow, where to next?” “Well, Doormaze, we must travel over the Flower Bridge. It used tobe a small village on a large plot of land that the other mouth of the cave leads to. The houses were too and far between. It was mainly covered in many different purple flowers.” “And that’s why it’s called Flower Bridge?” “Well, that is because of the plot of land that joins the East Mountain, which we are in, and West Mountain, which is where the Purple Flower is in, is naturally formed.” “And there is nothing underneath it.” “No.” “Well,” She said, finishing her meal. “That’s something to sleep on.” After they all ate their meal,they went to sleep. Doormaze dreamed of Natalie again. She opened her, now dragon, eyes. She walked over to the dragons. They were sound asleep. She smiled as she turned away from them. She wa

Scar Parents Fight Part Four

  Mother’s Knife Scar woke. She saw Morara right in front of her. She dived back as she punched her. She tried to unbuckle, yet she noticed that she soon noticed that it was jammed. She tried to pull the belt but that too was jammed. She tried to pull it again and again and again but it did nothing. She looked up in fear as she saw the knife coming at her. She quickly dived out of the way then the knife turned to her. She tried to punch her but she caught her wrist. She tried to pull her hand out of her hand. Yet she was too strong. She saw the knife getting closer and closer. She hit the arm as hard as she could which made her drop the knife. She then finally pulled out more of her belt and fell out. She then felt a slit in her arm. She let out a whimper as she looked up at Morana went to stab her again and again. She kicked her again and again and again. She looked at both Alex, who was unconscious. She drove her hands to his belt and she pulled the belt and he hit his head as he fel

Scar Parents Fight Final Part

  Assassin’s Sacrifice  Charlotte, knowing that none of them had any time or chance to call an ambulance, ran. She knew where the hospital was and that none of them had any time to lose. She ran down the street as fast as she could. Yet it must have been obvious where she was running to as Morana looked at her innanyer and knew in that moment she would kill to stop her from going there.  Her parents had the exact expression on their faces when she had to stop pretending that she was a boy. After all, they always wanted a boy and when she was born a girl they tried to turn her into one. But the only thing that reminded them that she was a girl was her name, which they shortened to Charlie at one point. Just to keep the illusion that she was a boy alive in their deluded minds. The only thing that got her out of that situation was the series of dead girls that were her sisters and only one son being alive at the cost of her neglect. Van Kira, she remembered his name was. “Oh no you don’t!
