back in the Sol dimension Zone



Minatol kingdom



Reia was sitting quickly on the couch as Cello paced the floor back and forth nervously



Cello" sighing softly as she cupped his snout.... " Reia" I'm still sure you know" Cello" I know your sure, I know your confident. I'm just... I worry about what father will say, it things happen this way " Reia" he already has faith in scourge and given my feelings I know it will be fine" Cello" but you know scourge is currently trying hard be the leader the pack among the seas. Reia" but we had enough small moments to let this happen" Cello" and a moment is all it takes... , and will it be enough" Reia" I'm sure it will, and oddly enough I'm not that concerned about mothers reaction" Cello" by the Goddess's mercy, I'm happy for that = =;, scratching at his head look I will make sure things are kept quiet, but promise me you'll confront him about it after this mission, I'm alittle worried about a job this harsh and with blizzard and front out of the picture it will only be harder"



* Reia" but think of the results, two thirds of the region wil lbe under our control, that adding our go grace with the king? will be sitting well at least for the moment, regardless of whatever the dragon core pirates do"

turning towards the fall way brass was standing by listening to there conversation



Brass" ?? " Cello" I will make sure the ship is prepped to leave, hugs her tightly " Reia" thank you cello - -" Cello" don't thank me just yet Brass"?? brass quickly acted natural as she went on her way, but heading to the office room for scourge he was already in a conversation with johnny*



Johnny" come on 30% that's my final offer " Scourge" 30%.... what do you take me for?! your weapons are low grade at best compared to others, and the said part is dragons will walk away after taking one to the face, I. need. something. Strong! " Johnny" these are strong you just have to be creative , and besides, I heard the go around, let me onboard and I'll give you the discount" Scourge".......70% " Johnny" 70??!" Scourge" take it or leave it T T" Johnny"....grrrr... Brass" am I interrupting something?" Johnny" no not at all, just.. let me recount my stock! he stormed out of the room Brass" what was that all about?" Scourge" still trying to fill the void blizzard and front left, johnny decided to take up my offer and join the crew, he says he can supple artillery but I had guntham go over his grades there ALL low tier, I can get better shit from the family , johnny wants me to buy it off him, so I said he can join if he gives me a 70% discount on his shit " Brass" I can see why he stormed off " Scourge" hey here on the seas you need to be worth your salt otherwise you'll sink, so what do I owe the honor of the graces from the heavy weight queen " Brass" ignoring that, have you notice reia acting little... off lately? shes been alittle nervous for some reason"



Scourge" I don't blame her, pulling out a sea chart with a red circle covering a island towards the outer sea Black Tooth island home to captain BlackTide showing a picture of a orca " he has underwater sea routes connecting to his island that makes it easy to ambush trade routes, and other pirates, if we take him down and occupy his island. imagine the advantage it would give the DFF " Brass" talking about taking a whole island if pirate a ourselves?" Scourge" I have a plan to open up a hole in there defense , but its going to have to be squarely dependent on me , and once that part goes well , heh the rest will be easy" Brass" you sure you want to risk your neck like this?" Scourge" you can't keep playing it safe if you want to make a name for yourself" Brass" I thought you said it yourself at the tournament if things so sour you don't mind" Scourge"...?!....whats this about brass? normally I would mark you at the carrying type crossing his arms* Brass" well... keith might be busy watching the home front and I don't mind your little sea ventures as much, but I have a right to voice my concerns if I feel your gonna get yourself killed aren't I? " Scourge" listen I'll go over the plan once everyone is together tomorrow, if I didn't have these hover shoes I would be a little more hesitant but I can make this work I know I can, " Brass" .... just don't get in over your head.. as she left the office, almost bumping into reia, as she cycled out center the room , scourge was taking the wanted poster of the orca and stabbing a knife into his photo

Reia" some disagreements take place while I was busy? " Scourge" ...no just.. I need to be confident in my plan rubbing his eyes tiresomely, that's all, no more.. no less " Reia"..... having a sense of worry in herself for a moment but she quickly shook it off as she walked up to him, grabbing his hand* there is no need to worry captain, its like you said having faith may be all you need" Scourge"..... well no one ever said it would be easy and going after the bigger fish is always out of the question" Reia" like...?" Scourge" you know what that would do if we went after say... king sky for example?" Reia" Pfffttt! are you out of your mind?" Scourge" just an example okay that's all crossing his arms like an X express thats all it was I need to be able to make calls like that if I want to be a pirate king" Reia" well you have to build yourself up you can't just jump to the top , the faster the climb the faster you'll fall " Scourge" yeah but some don't want to wait forever - - and our lives are too short, and it doesn't fucking help I feel like I've wasted my time and your time" Reia" or... maybe by the very small possibility..* whispers* your doing just fine, I know , wild concept "



Scourge" T T...." Reia" but in terms of you getting more and more skilled my parents still recommend you learn the ways of sword fighting. you blow it off, and blow it off and you can't rely on using yourself like a pinball all the time" Scourge" hey it works" Reia" but for how long? or are gonna be a one trick like king sonic? " Scourge".........." Reia"... I-I'm sorry.. that was too much..." Scourge" sad thing is.. the truth hurts sometimes, and your right I can't keep doing the same thing, if I don't change I'll lose my crown if I keep trying to get it fast " Reia" exactly! and I want you to keep that crown! " Scourge" its rare to see you so expressive" Reia" o///o y-yes well... encouragement is a key factor in ensuing success keeping her hands behind her back



Scourge" hmm you know brass said you were acting a little off , is there anything I need to worry about?" Reia" n-no everything is fine, besides some talks with my brother on some things, everything is fine " Scourge" you sure?" Reia"......." Scourge" come on reia I'm not slow I can sense something is troubling you, its like you told me " Reia" body language speaks no lies I know...>< I guess.. your argument with sonic back at the tournament, when you said if everything fell apart again you said you felt you still had a place you belong and you would still be happy regardless.. did you really mean all that? Scourge" yeah I did, I'm really hoping I won't be a failure but yeah I meant all of that, Reia" your not a failure look where you are , I saw you as nothing but the dirt I clean off my feet when I first met you, but now look at you, your part of the family, my father respects you my mother likes you, most of the family fines you a great addition , you earned our title as a diamond " Scourge" in my eyes maybe after this I will, Reia" but what if you already did..? holding his hands as she crossed her fingers with his Scourge"...... leaning his head against hers " Reia" regardless of your statues... you were always a king to me " Scourge" well every king needs a queen " leaning in closely as they kissed each other passionately* thanks for the support " Reia" just don't waste it " as scourge left the office but on his way out he ran into johnny who had came back



Scourge" so you finally make a decision? " Johnny" look! 50! that smy final offer " Scourge" I said 70 " Johnny" I'm giving you weapons and bombs for free! my guy" Scourge" and your part of the crew so your laying your ass up for free " Johnny" so it goes both ways!..."



while they were arguing in the hall reia took a seat in his chair the n in the corner of her eye she noticed one of the drawers was locked with a note tied to it Note* after blacktide is dealt with*

( Scourge" your bombs take 5 to wreck a captai nflag ship FIVE! it shouldn't take all that I could do more damage on my own!)



Reia" hardening her claws she used her finger to pick the lock to open it (click) ( I still got it~ )... opening the drawer inside was a ring box, her eyes widened with surprise as she reached for it but quickly stopping herself ..."



( Johnny" FINE 60%! " Scourge" my gawd you are pain the ass FINE! but your gonna be under guntham and he your going to working to improve our ships weapons every damn day got it!" Johnny" fine deal! " )

reia quickly put the drawer back and locked it



Scourge" fine better henchmen at the damn bar" Reia" jumping to her feet* well I suppose if anything he'll be good cannon fodder " Scourge" maybe not even that " Reia" eheh have a little faith my king, have a little faith* as she left the room.... as she quickly got out of sight, she took a deep breathe ... MMmmmmmmmm( omg omg omg omg omg omg omg..) >w<;; "



Later that evening



Reia took to her room still flustered nervous and excited at the same time, she at at the edge of her bed fumbling slightly from what she saw*



Reia" ( I want to tell him so badly I really do... Aghhh) cupping her mouth ( for once in my life I hate my stoic nature) rapidly tapping her foot against the floor laying her head against her pillow picking her feet up*



( Knock knock hello? ) Reia" mother?" Snow" opening the door may I come in?" Reia" quickly sitting up right" y-yes hello" Snow" hello my girl how are you feeling" Reia" I am fine thank you, is something the matter?" Snow" no no , I was jsut coming to ask you the very same thing having a soft smile* victor has high hopes for your raid tomorrow " Reia" father is not the

only one - - " Snow" I am still somewhat perplexed about scourge's addition of johnny, he was good for cannon fodder no more no less but as a full on member" Reia" he has a consistent level of weaponry alex, guntham and the crew can use, he's no blizzard and jack but he will do for the moment " Snow" tsk, definitely not - - maybe he should try to get kaspian, I can offer him a pretty gem or two personally " Reia" maybe darkfire? scourge said he is already willing to start learning sword play, it would be wise for him to learn from the best" Snow" you finally convinced him? thank the goddess~ crossing her arms as she did a little twirl that damn hedgehog finally listened to reason " Reia" heh I know right " Snow" hmmm... color it, "a mother intuition" but I am sensing something more is nagging at your tail. " Reia" I am fine mother I promise crossing her arms as she shifted her eyes away" Snow" you know you can't hide anything from me, I made your favorite dish for dinner and something else looked like it was plaguing your thoughts as she sat down next to her* Reia"......." Snow" remember when you pick pocketed money from your bodyguards to pay off those school bullies when you were little only because you didn't want to look weak in front of your brother " Reia" groans ....." Snow" they new you did it too and they let it slide, telling me instead of your father and we clip the tip, you cried all night that day"

Reia" mom.... "



*Note" "clipping the tip" is a punishment lizards have for there young, cutting off the the tip of there tails with a blade when they have done something wrong, the length varies but it will grow back in time. "



Snow" you want to have a repeat?" Reia" no please >< " Snow" then tell mother whats wrong? if you tell me I'll keep it a secret " Reia" it won't be a secret for long.. and I'll have my whole tail cleaved if he finds out any other way... Snow" oh my ... this is quite serious then? " Reia" ....*sigh* yes " Snow" alright, jokes aside will keep it quiet " Reia" ....I'm...positive " Snow" so I was right with my guess, a mother is never wrong " Reia" sighing heavily Snow" when did you find out?" Reia" 3 days ago, so it was not long, cello already knows, but not scourge" Snow" well you know this will be a problem if.." Reia" standing up that's the thing, he plans to marry me while I was in his office he had a note on his drawer, saying " after defeating captain black he had a ring box and everything ;w; my guess he wanted to make a big impression before proposing " Snow" and taking down that damn orca will do just that, your father has wanted that whale dead for over a year now " Reia" I knew it , and if hes gone, he proposes to me, then I break the news about me beign pregnant " Snow" it will be the perfect little circle xD" Reia" yes! ahahxD " Snow" s othats what got you so excited? Reia" I'm just happy I could tell someone, and I wanted to tell him so bad but.. imagine how he'll be when I do say" Snow" well just wait till after no need ot break his focus right now " Reia" I know.. " Snow" you really picked a weird one didn't you opening her arms for a hug* Reia" maybe.. but I have faith in him to be the pirate king, and because of him our name as the diamond fangs has spread across the seas, I want it to be him as tears welled in her eyes Snow" ...* bring the tears away* its been a very long time since I've seen you draw tears, not sense the day you finally reconnected with cello " Reia" wiping her eyes yeah and who else do I have to thank for that she smiled softly " Snow" ^^ " Reia" composing herself asshe whipped her eyes Snow" well mum's the word~ and I wish you all the luck tomorrrow kisses her on the cheek Reia" thank you mother" Snow" now in the mean time , I "won't" be looking for a fine wedding dress for your "non-existent" wedding and I'm certainly "not" looking for custom baby clothes at the market~ * she chuckled to herself* as snow exited the room she quickly bumped inot scourge who was also in the hall oh! sorry dear~ hmhm ^w^ "



Scourge" > > well your mother seems to be in a good mood and that can always either mean someone good for one and something bad for another " Reia" hehe well I can promise you its something good for us actually she smirked Scourge" well all news is good news then" Scourge" I just got though talking with alex about well... possibly talking to a blacksmith for a sword for me XP and the dopey dog suggested a heavy sword for me " Reia" heavy? like a knight's blade?" Scourge" yes, can you honestly see me with something like that , stupid idiot.." Reia" actually I think I see his point, given your fighting, style you like to hit strong and hard so maybe something that can deal alot of damage on the first strike can work in our favor and especially since your so fast " Scourge" hmph... I guess but not what I was expecting personally " Reia" well you'll have all the time in the world to practice and learn what suits you my king~ but for now you have a whale to catch tomorrow and you should get some rest~



Scourge" I know when I need to rest, but right now I was coming here to see if you needed some comfort , you've been alittle I don't know different " Reia" well I did have some things on my mind but I'm better now after talking with my mother, hence why she left -w- and something else renewed my faith in some things but I'll explain all that at another time she smiled softly , leaning against his chest just know thank you for everything, kissing him passionately Scourge" wrapping his arms around her tightly pulling her close you too babe , not sure where'd I'd be at the point in time always felt like I was going in circles and trying to break away from-" Reia" shhhh...* putting her finger on his lip* everything has been said about him , you are you, you are a king, king of the sea, my king now why don't you come and claim me tonight <3 " Scourge" smirks I think I like the sound of that~ kissing her passionately as he pushed her down on the bed <3









the next day



cutting to the crew on the seas heading straight for the island but still a good distance away



Brass" so what are we working with here?" Alex" from what the radar is picking up its mines, dozens of them they pan out to be at least 20 kilometers in radius , no getting further without setting them off " Scourge" and that's where I come in, I race to the island, fight thought to there control station and shut down the mines since they are all radio controlled " Reia" are you sure you want to be a one many army going in alone" Scourge" like I said before they will have all eyes on me , then you lot can get an easier time taking the shores , we do that , this raid will be a cake walk " Reia" giving him a signal flare when the mines are shut down just launch this into the air, that will give us the green light" Scourge" got it " Guntham" and try not to be too flashy and get yourself killed okay?" Brass" and don't forget to pack a lunch dear " Scourge" okay! geez you bunch waste no time taking the piss don't you" Brass" only because we care ~ * with that being said, scourge immediately jumped ship activating his hover shoes and started skating across the surface of the water, with in no time he made his way to the island as some of the pirates were already taking notice to him but before they could even react , a green flash rushed passed them either quikly knocking out the guards on the turrets or even the men in between



Scourge" this is almost too easy I kind of feel guilty twirling one of the key cards between his fingers he found the control tower that had the mines and a few button presses later the mines were quickly deactivated too ea-sy? * suddenly the screen shown there was a second terminal he needed to shut down that was located underground* hmm sighs heavily* alright fine, it couldn't have been that easy i guess "

suddenly a alarm was going off



Scourge" and theres my party announcement "



meanwhile

back underground where the main part of the island forces were held , captain black was waiting watching the camera as he ha his arms crossed as one sea pirates rushed to him*

Pirate" captain! he's shut down part A of our mine defenses and is already on his way should we activate the rest of the defenses " Black" don't bother " Pirate" what?" Black" let him believe he actually has a shot at taking me down " Pirate" but captain hes by passed all the defenses already and left the turrets vacant his speed is causing- " Black" are you having doubts about my planning ?" Pirate" I-I mean no disrespect I'm only showing concern for-" Black " concern.. eheh that's cute, there is no concern for me there is no worry for me these are things that should not be on your mind, and since you have them, let me remind you why obedience and compliance are all you should be " concerned" with " Pirate" s-SIR please I mean to n disrespect! I'm sorr- Wahhh! ( SPlashhh!) suddenly with in the room the floor opened up as he fell into the ocean water , even though he was from the sea kingdom his heart was immediately in panic mode as he fell in the water where as he looked around trying to reach the top wiht in the water he saw a black fin skimming the surface



he desperately tried to swim to the edge but before long he was quickly dragged down into the water and only seconds later a mass of blood was starting to fill the water and black leaped out of the water effortlessly licking his teeth as blood was dripping down his mouth



Black" lets hope he'll last a bit longer~ don't make it too easy for me "



as scourge made his way to the second station as he tried the keycard it was denied



Scourge" ( damn it they probably locked it) ( fine plan B take the leader now and get the boys in last (Whoosh!) s scourge rushed in reachin the main control docking bay as he was the computer



Black" looking for something? he dangled the master key cards on his finger Scourge" captain black I'm assuming" Black" you would assume right rodent, you got alot of balls trying to rush in here solo, I like that , if you have a death wish you'll make a name for yourself doing so" Scourge" sorry but I have no interest in dying today, maybe if you give up now I'll go easy on you" Black" confidence I like that, it will make the taste all the sweeter when I tear your corpse open as his muscles tightened cracking his knuckles he rushed towards him but scourge easily circled around him and hit him with a homing attack to the back knocking him down but he jumped back ot his feet turning around but scourge was quickly already running circles around him before he could get a fix him as scourge was kept pelting him with attacks over and over again until eventually black hit the ground



Scourge" well this is going little smoother then I imagined , you were always talked up a big shot even your grip of the sea routes you had control of " Black" cough... spitting up blood don't get me wrong, I just wanted to see how you were on land, I admit you have some force behind you despite your size, now then I hope your ready for the real challenge! suddenly the floor opened up causing scourge to fall , but quickly activating his shoes he started to hover on the surface of the water. in that second scourge completely lost sight of black only catching him from the black fin skimming the water before it sank



only for moments later black jumped up out of the water trying to pounce on him with his jaw wide open, barely dodging him and black would continue to do this eventually cornering him



Scourge" ( this guy can jump, as big as he is!! DX ) you may have your gimmick but I got mine too as he started to spindashing in the air, just as black tried to go at him again scourge blasted off just missing him and in a straight up turn around he tackled him while he was still in the air knocking him against the wall of the room Black" ><! " in the mean time he ended up dropping the key card that scourge ended up catching Scourge" look what I found, one second~ rushing to the computer he was able to turn off the mines in the ocean surrounding the island* well that was easy~ " Black" * getting back on his feet* growling oh? now your making fun of me? ehehe... hahah well then rodent congratulations, sadly y uro crew will only be here in time to picture up your remains and thats if there is anything as he turned towards the red switch along the wall and as he opened it, the walls opened up and it suddenly flooding the room completely with water Black" lets see how good you do under pressure~ he smiled as he vanished before the overflowing rush of water



the main route was locked to stop water from flooding the rest of the base that only way out was through the opened doors leading outside, as he held his breathe trying to get out luckily his shoes acted as jets to give him some speed but slowly black was stalking him close behind*





back on the ship



a few minutes before



Reia" pacing the bow of the ship .... I can't help it I'm getting worried " Guntham" its only been 5 minutes " Reia" and given someone who is as fast as he is. that's rather long don't you think?" Alex" she makes a point, we would be able to move in and set the plans in motion if we could see if the mines are deactivated " Brass" maybe we should have invested in a sea kingdom recruit rather then only looking at dragons " Guntham" or if keith could have stayed with us , this would have been easier to deal with but he had to leave us to do "your" job" Brass" something you want to say shorty? she glared" Guntham" the boy talks about your role about this master gemstone- " Brass" master emerald " Guntham" right, master emerald you could have gone home but he insisted are letting you stay and he does ya work for you , when in reality , you have the muscle I won't lie but when it comes to utility we're lacking " Brass" thats. not. my. fault! storming towards him* talk to your captain who does shit short handed, because hes too eager to his head blown off trying to make a name for himself! if he wasn't so picky when it came to recruits we cuold have had a five star chef on board , at the drop of a hat!" Guntham" aye! the boy didn't want to talk to the guys on the ship only the women which we only have two of currently and it use to be 2 an 1/2 thanks to your feminine husband" Brass" soooo.. hes a little flamboyant sue him! at least he can cook! unlike shorty-mc-crock-pot-repairman over here every damn meal time" (Guys) Guntham" crock-pat with refine seasoning and passion something a boneified meat head wouldn't understand, but I guess I should reduce that number from two, to one! " (Guys) Brass" I could Step on you and they Wouldn't even find the body! " as they both started growling at each other (GUYS!)



Alex" Look! looking out in the distance the once still waters between them and the island looked diturbed as waved were fluctuating reia hand me the rope." Reia" you really are going to do this?" Alex" its not like we have a option at the moment tying the rope around his waist Reia" when it pulls on the rope twice yank him up handing it to brass " Brass" why not just use the radar to see if there active? " Alex" it will only tell us if there down there, there sensory functions is unknown to us , this is the only way as he dived off the ship ( Splash!) Guntham" why not get torpedo face to dive in hes shark ain't he?" Reia" johnny is upgrading the cannons below deck , he was suppose to have done them the day before but was too busy relocating his supplies so hes working over time T T " Brass" maybe should have gotten a women to do it spitting venom towards guntham Guntham" talent trumpets over everything tomato , but I give you that he does make rush choices, he might have gotten someone better T T " Reia" can you both please..." Brass" you just call me a fucking tomato..!" Guntham" should I call ye a tomato or coconuts, which is more insulting" Brass" thats it! you Scottish terrier I'm gonna turn you into a fishing lure!! " as both of them started running circles on the ship until reia socked brass in the stomach and using her tail grabbing guntham and throwing him on his back Reia" BOTH OF YOU ENOUGH! "



down in the water as alex looked around, the lights from the mines we're all shut down quickly he pulled on the rope, and in that second something was swimming towards him Alex" ?!! pulling harder

Reia" thats four times pull him up NOW DX* Brass" * in one strong grap she yank up out of the water into the air back on the ship but was quickly followed him was a purple skin ship leaping out of the water trying to get him ( Splasshhh!!) ( Thud!)



Alex" coughing " Reia" are you alright!" Alex" I'm... I'm fine... pant I completely forget..captain black has sharks in the water if the mines ever are not working... " Brass" maybe next time I'll get in the water, I've knocked out a shark before believe it or not " Guntham" achievements aside , what of the mines " Alex" there deactivated, all of them , so he did it " Reia" but why hasn't he sent up the flare?" Brass" he could be busy fighting, but either way its our signal to move in with some back up" Reia" I will get my brother to bring in support as she rushed to the captains cabin



Brass"....* suddenly getting a sixth sense* I'm getting a bad feeling all of a sudden " Guntham" the sirens whistle , warnings of death loom if you get that feeling , now for who is another story " brass took the spy glass as she looked out towards the island, the belt looks calm for the most part but over near a small cluster of rocks scourge pulled himself out of the water, while near him captain black was eager trying to drag him back in Scourge!! , fire up the enguine we need to get to him NOW! "



with scourge

Black" circling......" Scourge" ....." Black" look at you, land walker trying to fight a monster of the sea, with only a pocket of sand where you stand, tell me how confident are you now?" Scourge" taking the flare out of his pocket seeing it was completely drenched I can be resourceful...! (Verrrrmmmmmmm!!) as scourge turn himself into a spin dryer taking off the water for the flare making it dry once more as he quickly set it off (Whoosshhhh!) Scourge" calling for help won't save you, or at least it will be too late~ but then again why should I have all the fun <3" Scourge" what? gonan call your lackies cause you can't fight me fair?" Black" eheh not at all , I think the predators of the sea want some food too, they just need a signal plop) dropping down in the water scourge looked around for him , as he had any place to jump, as he looked around there was sword inside the rock near him.



scourge leap frogged from rock to rock to grab it, a long rusted blade



Scourge" better then nothing" ( and yet sometimes nothing is better (WHAM!) black rammed into the rock knocking him off back into the water , he quickly tried to click his heels to active the jets but they were stalling, in that moment black rushed and bit into his side dipping his teeth into his hips , as he fought through the pain he impaled black with the rustyed blade causing them both to fill the water with blood , quickly the shoes activated and scourge kicked off him getting back to the only surface he had he laid on his back as his jacket was drenched blood



Scourge" ffff..FUCK! as if the scars from that old bastard wasn't enough!... " Black" looks like .. the bell tolls for thee tossing the sword back up toward shim snapped in half and look at at that we have company as sharks were circling the water Scourge "but your bleeding too " Black" they know whos the pack leader in these waters... now I will say this, it was pretty damn ballz for you to rush my base on your own, you even got my defenses deactivated, get me a good amount of fun something I haven't had in a while, and for that, I will give you my respect, tell me what is your name" Scourge".....>< Grrr... Gaahhh* forcing himself to stand up* my name... is scourge..and I will not die here or like this... I plan to be the pirate king of the seas AND YOU WILL BOW TO YOUR KING! " Black" o o....hehehe...hehehahahah...HA HA HA HA ohh I like you alot well, in that case I will give you a death worthy of a king! as he dived back into the water then one somersalt he rushed back into the air nose diving towards him ready to tears him apart ( BLAM!) O O......ahh...*



in that second a energy bullet shot straight through his chest causing him to fall hitting the rocks falling back into the water



Scourge" oh.. and another thing... I didn't come alone"



looking out to sea far in the distance, a ship with the diamond fang emblem flag on it was sitting and at the birds eyes tower Cello was standing with a sniper rifle as he smirked

Cello" 400 meters, a new record~ "



Scourge" .... ?! suddenly the sharks in the water wasted no time taking there chances but in that second missiles were fired off and took out the sharks and scared the rest of them away,



Johnny" I told you I have top quality!! as he was rushing towards him on a wave bike Scourge"....heheh...* dropping ot his knees * ( Scourge! ...SCOURGE!!)



eventually he woke up again with everyone around him



Scourge" ..ahhh.. ahhh...! " Guntham" easy there boy don't move , I just finished wrapping your teeth marks Reia" looks like you did it my king" Scourge" ,,,heh,, ehe ahh everything.. hurts like shit >< Aghh.. what about captain black" Cello" hes been wrapped up nicely for our father whos on his way now to clean out the rats and claim this island for the family, this was a big win for us scourge, " Scourge" thats why I did it... aghhh.. and maybe..you were right...sword lessons... won't be so bad... and...pant* " Reia" easy we jsut pulled you back on to the boat DX " Scourge" no I say this now... tell victor... this is my proposal gift .. ot make reia my wife!



Everyone" ?!! " Reia" ...o///o!! " Brass" so you were popped the question, did you have to do it on your death bed" Scourge" beggars cant be choosers plus I'm sick of keeping it secret " Reia" smiles softly* well in that case, I have a surprise of my own cupping his cheeks in her hands your gonna be a father <3 kisses him passionately Scourge" o o...eh?....eh?! ..fa-father... ahh* passes out* xwx " Reia" o o; " Cello" I think that was alittle much for him right now sister " Guntham" oh shit ya think?" Johnny" sooo uhhh when do we get paid?" everyone glares at him Johnny" bad time to ask? "









suddenly in a darkened void scourge was floating in water m as he looked around it was nothing but darkness around him



( you'll never be anything on your own) voices echoed out



Scourge" looking around .... ?! " ( so busy trying to chase someone elses efforts you can't do anything on your own, ) .. I can! I've done plenty on my own! ( plenty of things that someone else has done better ) shut up... I don't need ....you need to say anything* as he start fighting against the void as he tried to swim )



( king of the pirates, king of the world, trying to rule over any and all , your just never going to be anything but a disappointment) Scourge" you never cared about me os why the hell would you care now , just leave me alone!" ( then why are you always holding on to my words if you don't care )



as suddenly he started running very slowly Scourge"... " Fiona" hes right you know~ " Scourge" fiona? wha?" Scourge" I had high hopes and everything jsut felt like a game you were trying to win" Scourge" of course itsa damn game blame that same sonic he took everything from me " Fiona" no you took everything from yourself, and no one wants a king who always is afraid" Scourge" I don't need you as he turned around looking at others who left him I'm still working my ass off I'm still ganging ground others know it! they all know it! everyone seems me as the king! (.............) someone.. come on guys... hello...? dad? reia, victor, I did good right? hello... I'm not playing around! .. just..someone tell me I'm doing something! .. tell me I'm not nothing... please...* I'M NOT A FAILURE! ...* as tears filled his eyes as he hugged himself* .... as he turned around suddenly a orca was rushing him down



(in the shock he woke up*

Scourge" AHhhhh!! panting...*pant*..*pant*.... * quickly finding himself in a bed back at the diamond house* softly he heard foot steps rushing as reia stormed in Reia" scourge are you okay!? " Scourge" reia.. wha.. what happened " Reia" we're back home, I heard you scream, I only went to get some water" Scourge"...wh- what about the mission did we win, please tell me I didn't lose... " Reia" * clenching his hand tightly the mission was a success, father as already claimed the island and captain black is no more thanks to all of us , okay" Scourge" o-okay.... " Reia" ..are...you okay you look in shock" Scourge" just a stupid dream it was nothing new.. " Reia" I never seen you so distressed before" Scourge" why should I let you see me in such a pitiful state" Reia" scourge... its okay if you need to release something you can tell me, I'm right here, we're all here " Scourge"...* holding his head down* did.. did I do good just.. tell me everything I'm doing isn't a waste... tell me I'm not a waste... " Reia" ?!! your not a waste, and you've always put your best efforts first sometimes you woudl be little too much, but you always had your goals and what your reaching for I admired, I see it, my dad sees it , my mother sees it everything you've done has changed things for me for the better I'm glad your here, we all are" Scourge"...* taking a deep breathe sighing of relief reia, sitting at the edge of the bed pulled his head leaning it against her* " Reia" whatever the voices said, its all lies.. your part of the family now, your a diamond " Scourge" its not so much what they said, but what they don't say, every time Iwould create a foot of power I would get it taken from me or it would fall apart , I remember always looking for some form of recognition from my old man which I got none of, always said I'm a shell chasing a shadow, even after I conquered moebius nothing changed, I even tired to talk shit to my opposites father and he was just the same, I evened up leaving in tears "



Reia" ( you tried to boast to sonic's father and he left you in tears feeling like your own father did.. ) Scourge" so that was embarrassing I just... I've always been a desperate sack of shit " Reia" your still worried about those things coming back to haunt you again aren't you" Scourge" sometimes but I just had to ignore it... " Reia" you know there's a saying we have, tidal waves are scary but the y always come to our shores sometimes they take things important or they leave us drenched m but the important thing is they are waves, and they pass us by, and we move forward. don't let the past pull you down and miss out on what your doing now " Scourge" I know... how long was I out?" Reia" a few hours your injuries aren't as bad as they looked which was good, your rib cage was cracked though so you'll be taking it a bit easy for now until it heals " Scourge" sure your old man doesn't mind" Reia" after seeing captain black in body bag, I haven't seen him that visibly happy since my brothers first island raid she chuckled " Scourge" and my marriage proposal?" Reia" I thought we've break that to him over our victory celebration tonight ^^. however the news about the kids, I want to keep that quiet just a little bit longer"



Scourge" wait, so the kids was real?" Reia" yes, you thought I lied about that?" Scourge" my memory is hazey " Reia" no I was honest , I test positive and your going to be a father " Scourge" ..so for real.. " Reia" yes " Scourge" some little rugrats that run around that are mine.. " Reia" yes TwT " Scourge" that look up to me , someone I cherish how I would have wanted.. I promise not to be like my stupid old man or any of them... as tears filled his eyes Reia" oh baby.. hugging him tightly you'll be fine " Scourge" heh.. sorry for the emotional trip ' Reia" coming off a near death battle, I think you have a right kissing him on the forehead but move forward we will be making some changes" Scourge" I still remember, the sword lessons right?" Reia" that, and everyone decided we're not gonna be short handed again, we;re gonna bring aboard more for the crew, including, a doctor, another scout, a navigator , a chef and possibly another dragon cause there good trump cards" Scourge" I thought you were the navigator " Reia" well I'm going to be very busy soon being a mother, so someone else is going ot take that job, and in the mean time I will over seeing your sword training, " Scourge" I feel like I'm being punished " Reia" no , just your going to do things more equipped next time and my dad already has someone in mind to help you" Scourge" and how would that be?
