Close... [Kept running as Spike jumped down beside her and followed.] Wyatt: Think of something quick! Spike: To hell with this! [Gripped his fist hard and smashed it through the building's brick wall beside them] Come on! [He rushed to get in.] Glory: Well, that was... something, I guess. [Still panting.] I suppose the obvious question would be, now what? Timber: Well, we can't stay here too long, they're bound to come back and search every nook and cranny for us. Aphro: Is anyone hurt? Are we all okay? Hope? Did you get hurt, sweetie? Hope: [Smiled, her face still pale from such a frightening situation.] I'm okay, thank you. Hanuman: Hmph, Hanuman search kitchen. [Whispered, knowing that they needed to stay quiet as he moved to the kitchen.] Glory: What is it, Wyatt? Wyatt: Oh, wow... you guys aren't going to believe this. Wyatt: Knave! [Tried to throw his voice some as best he could, but he wasn't very good at it. Little did he know that there was a soldier on the corner of the same building they were hiding in.] Soldier: AGH! SIR! [Blew his whistle.] The Jolly Pirates! Wyatt: DAMNIT! [Pulled out his rifle fist and smashed a spring-loaded boxing glove into his face, knocking him out.] It's no good! Let's go! Knave: Eh?! Eh?! EH!?!?! [Looked around him.] Chris?! Chris: Hey, Knave-chan! Knave: [Sour look.] Don't call me that... So you guys made it to the island? That's awesome! Glory: I'm sorry, Knave, what part of this crappy situation is awesome?! Hanuman: Hanuman see friend! Hanuman go this way!! [He shouted, and directed all of them to follow as he turned right and headed down that street with the much taller, wider buildings.] Sakura: Chio! [To their surprise, her voice was a little more excited than normal. Perhaps she was more worried than they originally thought.] Chio: Down this way! Go straight down that way! Glory: What about you!? [She was about to pass him.] Chio: They can't know where you're going! I'll cover you! Chio: Ran Kyaku! Chio SENKA!!!! --- Glory: Chio! Oh, thank you so much! It's so good to see you again! Chio: Oh, don't mention it. Everyone stop! Stop! Chio: Alright, come on, we've been waiting for you. Pura: Knave! Rinji: Alright, my dear friends, I am so happy to see all of you made it okay. Though I had no idea that the Jolly Pirates would be joining us today. Please, take your seats, and we can begin. Knave, Chris, come up here and join us. Thoosa: Whoo! This is awesome! I can't believe I'm here! Hurhurhurhurhurha! Should we set up our instruments up here? I'd love to play for you guys! Knave: Dude! Great idea! Rinji: Oh, yeah! Why don't we send out flyers while we're at it! I'm sure the guys patrolling the streets would love to hear it too! Thoosa: [Le gasp!] Really?!?! Rinji: NO!! Good gravy, woman! Sheesh. Anyway! This is a serious problem! If we don't think of something fast, we're all going to end up in the biggest ass-ramming prison in the entire World Government, and I hear the rammers are ramming like never before. Thoosa: [Blushed.] Sounds wonderful... [Looked at the other Captains to see them all give her odd looks.] Aherm, yes, that is bad. Chris: They almost hurt my crew! They out numbered us and almost shot us! They're a bunch of bullies, and bullying with not be tolerated! Kimi: Yeah! [Stood up in the aisle] We need a plan of attack! We're all at least five times stronger than any Marine! Glory: Whoa whoa whoa, that may be true but there are literally thousands of them out there, not to mention they're being led by Vice Admiral Polatsu! Rinji: Polatsu is with them? Glory: Oh yes, he was at the head of the line. Jiro: Yes, if you remember, he was one of the Vice Admirals that was accompanied by one, Kitomo Rise. With the recent news of her death, it is no wonder that he would seek retribution. Rinji: Admiral Rise is dead? Jiro: Yes, Rinji... Killed by a dragon.
