He wasn't fast enough to dodge the blast that the girl had narrowly avoided herself...probably due to the fact that he became a balancing act.  He struggled to get himself out of the hole that he had managed to drill into the side of the Light Piercer.  

 

"Chimera's gonna kill me...wait this is his fault!"  He said, groaning.  

 

"You asked me to make you heavier early, right?  Like this?"

 

Ken saw the girl's hands reach into the hole, and he could feel himself be crushed by his own gravitational force.  It took the wind out of him, and it became incredibly hard to breath.  He could hardly budge, he could hardly think.  This pressure pressing him all throughout his body was incredible...it was like nothing he had felt before.  There was only one way out of this situation now...to go beyond his second inhibitor.  

 

"Oh, You also wanted know what I meant when I asked if you were like us...I mean't broken."

 

The tint of sadness in her tone...was it true that she saw her team in the Defenders?  

 

"Quit messing around..."  He said, with bared teeth.  "This is a fight...not a therapy session!"  He exclaimed, his muscles bulging as he reached out of the hole to grab onto the steel outside of it.  "You're picking a fight with my team...you want to inhibit our mission...and you want to call us broken?!"  He could feel the anger rising above the surface.  With a roar, Ken managed to break himself loose of the indentation of the wall he had found himself in prior.  In one hand, he held onto one of the balls, tossing it into the air, as if the buzzing air around his body was nothing more than a slight breeze.  "You've really ticked me off now..."  He said, before he caught the ball once more, and threw it at spider monkey girl.  

 

"Huh?" The girl glanced over her shoulder.  She stopped the ball with one toe tap, mere inches away from her face.  In that one moment, Ken could feel the pressure from the air around him subside into nothing.  "Has anyone ever told you that you're really loud?" The ball that hovered in front of her face slowly turned into a black, sandy substance.  "Is that why you're crazy strong like that?" As she spoke, the sphere's still inside the hole would start to float around him, gaining speed as they did so. "It's a little sc-"  Interrupted, the girl brought a hand to her ear.  "huh?.... Who's obvious?"

 

Ken looked around the ship's deck...what was obvious?  He turned his full attention back to the girl.  

 

"It's obvious," Ken said, stepping forward, making sure that his timing was right, "That you shouldn't keep your eyes off of your opponent!"  Another step, and he raced off, managing to dash in between the orbital movements of the spheres, cracking the ship's floor as he did so.  He reared a punch, and gripped his fist tightly, tighter than ever before.  "KEN KANNON!"  He yelled, stopping his mad dash, and unloading his punch at such a speed, that it created a vacuum wave in the air.  The air pressure that had been used against him this whole time, he was now using as a weapon.  

 

"Hey, is your name obvi-" She was interrupted yet again when she looked up to see the hedgehog in a dash towards her. "Uh oh..." The orbs behind him shook the floor, as they dropped, as she tried to nullify Ken's attack. However, the force from his attack was too strong, and the wind clashed against her, blowing the bangs out of her face, and revealing two pale-white eyes, with scars protruding from the bottom.  The girl was sent flying across the deck, but was caught by a streak of purple.  A bat he had yet to see before now.  The bat was followed by Axel, who appeared right along side him.  Ken gave off a sigh of relief, seeing that his brother was okay.
 
"Something's not right..."  He stated.  
 
"Well...we're being attacked by pirates.  Of course something's not right!"  Ken exclaimed.  He sighed once more, before rolling his shoulders.  "They're targeting something now...maybe one of us."  He smiled at his brother.  "You're the smart one...what's the plan?"

Chimera gritted his teeth as he watched Blake try to run away, throwing three disks at him. Chimera took a leap over it, the discs collided with the wall behind him, the dics releasing some gas of some sort. Chimera ignored it and activated his jets, flying off at high speeds, trying to catch Blake. When he got close, Blake looked over his shoulder, and Chimera felt a pull. Looking over, he saw some magnets on the wall.

"That trick won't work twice!" He said as he fired his lasers, blowing up the magnets. However, he could see he left a hole in the wall. "I'm sorry baby...," He muttered to himself. His sensors suddenly screamed a warning at him, causing him to turn his head. Blake had used his grappling hook to swing down to try to ram into Chimera. In response, Chimera spun in place, his spikes covering his body.

Blake cursed and let go of his hook, falling to the ground. However, he threw two spheres at Chimera, which then exploded, releasing a putty of some sort, which began to cover his entire body. He had to stop spinning, as the putty was clogging his joints and weighing him down. Meanwhile, Blake had landed hard, dislocating his shoulder. 

 

"Kind of ironic that you egg bots do the spin thing, huh?" Blake commented as he held on to his shoulder. 

"If you can't beat it, use it yourself," Chimera commented as he began to wash his body with the water gun.

"This is getting out of hand..." Blake growled to himself as he inspected his hanging shoulder and made his way to the closest wall. Slamming himself into the wall without hesitation, Blake knocked his arm back into place without so much as a grunt before turning his attention to the cat that stood across the deck.

 

Reaching to his belt, the wolf couldn't help but curse himself for not bringing more gear. But then again, how could he have known that this ship's crew would be such a handful...

 

"Hey," He addressed Alex rather plainly as he approached. Producing a diamond shaped object from his belt, he tossed it towards the girl with light underhanded throw. "hold this." 

 

Instinctively catching the strange device in her confusion, Alex peered down to study it, only to have Blake's creation suddenly shatter to release a thick silver netting. 

 

Watching Alex's form become tangled in the net as it dragged her to the ground, Blake scratched the back of his head before taking another step towards her. 

 

"Sorry about that..."

"Batsy," Roxie flashed Zane one of her ever so charming smirks as Batsu recovered from his daze. Swinging Zane to the side in a fluid motion, Roxie allowed herself to plummet towards the ground whilst she watched Batsu grab the wolf by his shoulders as the two boys began to fall towards the deck. 

 

Though her work wasn't finished yet. "Imma commin, Alfy!" Twisting in the air that she could see her scorpion companion, Roxie set her sights on Alfonso's opponent before rapidly spinning until her form was once again replaced by a white twister of force. 

 

As Cynthia taunted her opponent, she would feel a sudden gust of wind. If she glanced upwards, the yellow hedgehog would be met with that very same twister moments before it came crashing down on her.

 

iU8EggM.png

 

 "Oh I'm gonna enjoy this..." Batsu sneered down at Zane as he wrapped one of his hands around the smaller mobian's throat and cocked his other backwards in a fist. As the pair plummeted down the deck, Zane would feel his energy being hungrily drained by the rooster, and he would have to think quickly to defend his face as Batsu began throwing punch after punch.

 

Soon the pair met the deck with a loud thud leaving Batsu kneeling over his prey as he pinned Zane down with his left palm. "Goodnight, loser!" Batsu spat. As he brought his right hand high above his head, a red energy began bubble forth and wrap itself around his fist, causing pressure to also begin building in the air around the rooster's arm. 

 

With his technique ready, Batsu let his grin grow even wider before swinging his arm down towards Zane. 

 

iU8EggM.png

 

"Well...we're being attacked by pirates.  Of course something's not right!" Axel rolled his eyes at his brother's loud tone. "They're targeting something now...maybe one of us." This caused Axel's gaze to narrow. What could they possible be targeting?!

 

"You're the smart one...what's the plan?"  

 

"We regroup. Find out what they want, and make sure they don't get it." With no time to meet Ken's smile, Axel returned his gaze to the battlefield. His friends all seemed to be having a tough time, but one incident in particular caught his attention. Watching Blake capture Alex with his net, the white hedgehog's brow furred with rage and realization. "Alex!" He growled before suddenly vanishing in a flash.

 

iU8EggM.png

 

"Look, trust me it's n-" Blake began, only to be silenced by a punch to the side of his face. Reappearing on the main deck between the wolf pirate and the feline thief, Axel watched as Blake tumbled off to the side before turning Alex and extending a hand to remove the net. "They're trying to take you capti- gwaaaah!"  

 

The moment the white hedgehog wrapped his fingers around the net, he was met with a violent electric shock that caused him to stumble backwards blindly in pain. Unfortunately Blake was there waiting for him, and as the white hedgehog stumbled into his grasp, the wolf quickly delivered a powerful blow to the back of his ribs before grabbing Axel under his arm and flipping him backwards across the deck.

 

"-as I was saying..." Blake sighed, panting slightly. "It's not to keep you contained, it's to keep these guys off you." He continued his explanation to Alex as if nothing had just happened.

 

Moments later, Alex would feel a shadow looming over her and upon looking up she'd be met with grim expression of Alfonso the Scorpion. Without uttering a word, the suited mobian will then proceed to exhale a cloud of blue gas down into her face, causing her world to begin fading out as she is slowly forced into slumber be the gas's sedative effects. 

 

Watching this, Axel brought himself to a sliding halt on his hands and knee before forming a chaos blade and calling out to his comrades. "They're targeting, Alex!"

Roxie went and threw Zane right into Batsu...or rather towards the deck of the Light Piercer and almost immediately felt the rooster's hand at his throat...feeling his energy slowly begin to be drained by him.

 

The next thing the arctic wolf knew was that he was on the ground, looking up to see Batsu pinning him on the deck and his right hand about to strike. Things weren't looking good.

 

D-Damn...we were doing good...but that damn captain of theirs... Zane thought, struggling against the rooster. And I can't get to my multi-tool right now...what the hell do I do? He's trying to drain me dry here and I can't just kick him off...

 

"They're targeting, Alex!"

 

W-What?! Zane thought, his ears twitching when he heard Axel say this. They're targeting the cat? But what for? Then again, he knew he needed to get the hell up and help out... He moved his arm a bit, feeling moisture in the air coming to him as he watched Batsu slamming his fist down towards him, as he moved his hand into the way, doing his best to struggle it back.

 

However, Zane's cryomantic hold over the moisture in the air wasn't doing so hot. With the rooster making contact with him and draining his energy, it was less potent than it was before. And as such, the arctic wolf lost the punch clash, only succeeding in directing the punch into a different direction. Right now...his fist was slammed into the deck by Zane's head.

 

Not only this, but Zane noticed almost immediately that the rooster was no longer touching him. He was free. Zane quickly rolled out of the way before Batsu could notice. He moved back some and shook his head. He glanced and noticed something, the rooster's hand was frozen. Hmm...looks like that just gave me an idea! Zane thought, smirking a bit. He hadn't used this move in a long while either...

 

"ARCTIC PRISON!!" Zane shouted as he slammed his hands onto the deck, smirking all the while.

 

"Arctic what?!" Batsu shouted in response, before being completely caught off guard by the first eruption of ice and frost, hitting and snagging the frozen arm. "What the hell is this?!" The rooster was in full panic now, seeing the next eruption occur and hitting his legs.

 

As Zane slowly stood up, watching the last eruption of frost and ice overtake Batsu, he couldn't help but notice the rooster smirking as he looked at him. With that, Batsu was stuck in the Arctic Prison. Zane was about to celebrate...but apparently it was way too soon.

 

"Excuse me, are you obvious?"

 

Zane whipped around, seeing Kiara holding Benny in the air, before the spider-monkey was immediately thrown in his general direction, her hand held out. Oh son of a bi-! he thought, before being blasted straight into the Arctic Prison by Benny, with a strong repulsive force. He knew good and well he probably just released the rooster with that...but right now he skidded across the deck before finally skidding to a full halt.

 

T-Tch...I'm getting absolutely no where with these guys... he thought with a huff, clenching his fists some. "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU EVEN WANT FROM US OR ALEX ANYWAY?!"

"We regroup. Find out what they want, and make sure they don't get it."  His brother had such a level head, it was almost scary.  Ken nodded, before scoping the battlefield.  While he was concentrating, he heard his brother yell, but couldn't figure out what he had blurted out, before the hedgehog vanished into thin air.  The next thing he saw, Axel was in the midst of the fight yet again.  

 

"They're targeting, Alex!" 

 

"Wait...what?  Why?"  Ken scratched his head.  Upon hearing a loud crashing, however, he turned his head to see the Monkey girl facing off against Zane.  Ken punched his palm, tightening his fist.  "Two on one?  That hardly seems fair."  Ken jumped from the roof, spindashing in mid-air to get some momentum going, before releasing the spindash, flying towards the ground with an outstretched leg, aiming for the spider monkey.  "DYNAMIC KENTRY!"  He roared.  

 

"Hu- ouch!" Ken felt the same sudden force that had deflected his attacks earlier, jus short of hitting the Spider monkey up side the head. For a pirate, she had a far greater reaction time than your typical lackey.  However, despite being replled, the force from his attack was still enough to send the girl flying across the deck of the ship.  Ken couldn't help but let out a small grin. When Ken got up, a gust of wind past him. Seconds later, the bat that had been flying in the air had managed to fly past him, leaving a small gash on his shoulder.  "Why am I the one that's always bleeding, he said, looking at the bat who had inflicted the wound with the same smile.  It would be a challenge at least that he had yet to face.  When she made a turn, the sun reflected off the girl's wings, as if they were made of some sort of metal.  It almost blinded him.  
 
The girls trajectory, this time, seemed to be a head on strike with Ken's torso.  With those wings...it would probably slice him in two.  As if Ken would let that happen.  He quickly side stepped, and as the bat careened past him, he quickly, and carefully, grabbed the bat's wing.  He had plenty of experience grabbing onto blades with his bare hands, and this girl was probably half as experienced with sharp objects than his brother.  Ken swirled the girl around in a circle, before letting go of her wing.  Before being sent on her merry way, the girl let out a scream.  
 
"jabroni!"  The cry was deafening.  So much so that Ken seemed disoriented for a short period.  The air around Zane and Ken seemed to shake, cracking Zane's prison construct even further.  While his ears were still ringing, Ken looked up to see two of the black orbs from earlier fly towards he and Zane.  
 
"Not these again..."  He growled, shaking his head.  He stood his ground, ready to catch the two, looking for the third.  There had to be a third, right?  This time, when he caught them, the orbs didn't seem as dense as before.  Rather, the were viscous, and started to wrap themselves around his hand.  "What the hell?!"  So there was more than just one trick that this monkey had up her sleeve.  In time, he could feel the orbs pull him towards where he had kicked Benny, almost as strong as before.  Seeing as he wasn't prepared, Ken was sent flying towards the side of the Light Piercer, where he finally saw Benny, sitting atop of the third orb, with a drag look on her face.  Was she still bored.  
 
"Sayonara..."  She said bluntly, as Ken fell off the side of the light piercer.  Having to think on his feet, Ken let his inhibitor fly open again, as he aimed a punch directly at the light piercers side. punching a hole straight through the hull.  The whole was big enough for the orb to fit through, and keep him suspended in the air.  It hurt his arm like hell, dangling from this hole.  But at least he was alive.  Ken would bring his other hand up, and punch a whole slightly above the hole he had just made.  He would keep doing this, trying to make his way back up to the bridge.  
 
"Chimera is going to kill me twice..."  He said, gritting his teeth.

Cynthia was confused, why wasn't Mr. Scorpion retaliating against her? Looking up, she was able to see why, the pirate leader was dive bombing her with a freaking twister kick. She had just enough time to cross her arms and block the attack, thanks to her rubber body it didn't completely obliterate her but her arms felt like they were gonna snap from the impact. Roxie simply stood on Cynthia's arms, a look of curiosity and mild surprise on her face. "Great Gatsby! What are ya made of, love?"

 

Cynthia gritted her teeth. "Well... Right now rubber... But..." she knocked Roxie into the air to get her off, but she simply twirled in the air and landed as if expecting applause from an audience. Cynthia kept her rubber body but proceeded to morph her fist into rock before charging at Roxie. "... I can do more than rubber!"

 

"Neat!" Roxie cocked her fist back and met Cynthia's attack with her own, shattering the rock and sending both girls skidding backwards. "But I wanna try something..." Roxie seemed to size Cynthia up before vanishing and reappearing behind her. She delivered a sharp kick, sending Cynthia into air and met her in mid-flight just to kick her back, repeating the process and pretty much turning Cynthia into a pinball. "I'm going for the high score!" She was still treating this like a game but Cynthia wasn't enjoying herself.

 

"Agh! This. May. Have. Back. Fired. Gah!" Cynthia had to think fast, her rubber body wasn't gonna protect her from serious damage for long. But then it hit her, Mr. Scorpion wasn't around at the moment. In mid-flight, she morphed her body into metal and curled up into a ball. At the speed she was going she was pretty much a living sawblade.

 

"Uh oh..." Roxie barely had time to block Cynthia's attack, metal grinded and sparks flew as Cynthia started to gain ground over Roxie. "Didn't expect that did ya? Well get a load of this!" Cynthia suddenly uncurled and morphed her arms into blades, she slashed at Roxie's wrists in an attempt to chop her robotic hands off. She missed however and Roxie prepared a powerful axe kick. "You may want to dodge this, love..."

 

"Crap!" Cynthia did dodge it but barely, she jumped away to gain some distance. "Stop calling me love!" She exclaimed before hopping on her board and charging at her. "Let's see you match this speed!" But Roxie's was more focused on Cynthia's extreme gear. "Hubba hubba!" With a whistle she sent a shockwave with her fist to knock Cynthia off her board and as it traveled towards her she hopped on it. "Hey! Oh no you don't!" Cynthia grabbed a device from her pocket and pressed it, her extreme gear would shut down and lock up, a neat little gadget that was used in case her board was stolen, she would know where it is and nobody but her could use it.

Chimera was in a horrible mood. His ship was being torn apart, from both the outside and the inside, he was being horribly overwhelmed by these pirates, and the people he was traveling with also were losing, in quite an embarrassing manner. It was enough to drive the robot into a frenzy, wanting nothing but to stain organic blood on his chainsaw. However, he still needed them, and he needed to think of the long term game here, and not just this battle. He would win this war.

As he cleaned himself, he ignored the fact Blake was ripping the Egg Carrier's electronics apart, despite the rage he could feel. Instead, he decided to focus on hacking into the enemy's ship. He was angry, that was for sure, but he knew he couldn't just blow this thing up. No, he would weaken them, and destroy them at the crucial moment. He wouldn't just win... he would destroy them. It took a few moments, but he found what he wanted, and performed the deed. After that, he left the ship and focused on cleaning himself.

He would need to be at 100 percent if he wanted to beat them.

Alex was disorientated, first that wolf caught her in some kind of net and now she was being gased by that gunslinging scorpion. She would've burned her way out of the net if it wasn't for Alfonzo's sleep gas, she could barely make sense of what was going on. She heard Axel cry out to save her before gun shots from the scorpion rang out through the air.

 

"You... Don't really have much say in the matter..." Alex could barely make out Blake's silhouette as he approached her. He seemed to be messing with the same device he had before the fighting broke out. Her strength was slowly fading, this was one trap she wasn't getting out of. Thinking about it, if the police in Metropolis had pulled something like this they would've caught her ages ago. "When I get out of this... I'm gonna fry you into a crisp... Wolfy..."

Mobian Sea - Light Piercer

"Ouch ouch ouch!" Roxie squeaked as she landed face first against the ship's deck and began sliding from the sudden momentum of being thrown off of Cynthia's extreme gear. Watching this, Blake sighed in annoyance before moving his index finger up to the communicator in his ear. "Captain, stop f***ing around and get over here..." The wolf groaned before shifting his attention back to Alex. "Things are getting out of control, we need to leave now."

 

"When I get out of this... I'm gonna fry you into a crisp... Wolfy..." The feline at his feet struggled to speak, surprisingly still awake after being blasted by Alfonso's gas. 

 

"You say that now..." Blake scoffed. 

 

"Bullets. Not Working." Alfonso's scratchy voice caused Blake to glance over to the white hedgehog that stood across from them. The air seemed to vibrate angrily around Axel, and as he stepped forward over the countless bullet casings that now littered the ground around him, a low growl could be heard as the boy swiped his chaos blade to the side and dashed forwards.  "GET AWAY FROM HER!"

 

"s***." Reaching to his belt, Blake let out a curse upon realizing that he had used up the last of his equipment. "EVERYONE, WE'RE OUT OF HERE!" The wolf barked into his communicator as the sword wielding hedgehog charged towards them.

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU EVEN WANT FROM US OR ALEX ANYWAY?!"

 

Zane's shout was followed by a the sound of shattering ice. "Everything!" Breaking free form his prison with brute force, Batsu stumbled back onto the deck, rolling his shoulders and flexing his muscles as he sneered back at Zane. "Our Captain wants it all."

 

"It's only right that we take something back from this shitty world." Kiara's voice sounded at Zane's flank. Before he could react, Zane's ears would be assaulted with with an agonizingly high frequency that would cause him to grow heavily disoriented. Intent on taking full advantage, Kiara grabbed the wolf by his shoulders and spun him around before slamming her knee into his ribs. "Don't you think?" She smirked before screaming yet again. "HAAAAAAA!" The bat's voice heralded a shockwave that sent Zane rolling forward across the deck. 

 

Batsu made a move to follow up, but halted himself upon hearing Blake's order. "You guys got lucky." He spat back to Zane over his shoulder before following Kiara over towards Blake and Alfonso in a blur of movement. 

 

IsOSufc.png

 

"Alrighty, I got ya..." Roxie sighed into her communication device whilst bringing herself to her feet and dusting clothes off. Glancing back to Cynthia, Roxie walked over to the locked extreme gear and studied it for a moment. "hmmmm," Bringing her foot down on the device with a great amount of force, Roxie watched as sparks began to jump in the air around the now damaged board. "You might wanna get that looked at, love..." Roxie snickered before bringing her leg back and sending Cynthia's extreme gear rocketing towards her with a single skillful kick.

 

"I think it's broken!" The pirate captain called out to the other hedgehog as the extreme gear struck her square in the chest, sending her flying. 

 

 

 

IsOSufc.png

 

 

"I won't let you get away!" Axel snarled as he rolled the side to avoid a sweep from Alfonso's tail. New scuffs and bruises littered the young prodigy's body as he struggled to fend off both the scorpion and the wolf with his drained energy supply. Watching as Blake leaped backwards and flicked his thumb across his portable computer, Axel charged forward yet again.

 

"Who said anything about you letting us?!" Batsu's booming voice caused him to spin around. Unable to  avoid the rooster's grasp, Axel quickly found himself being held up by his throat as two more pirates joined the scrap. Struggling to break free, Axel could do nothing but watch as a grappling hook shot down from the enemy ship and hooked onto the net that restrained Alex. 

 

"NO!" Axel roared as he struggled against the larger mobian's grip to no avail. The last of his energy was now being sucked from his body, and he could already feel his strength crumbling. He watched miserable as the grappling hook began to reseed back into the enemy ship, dragging the fading feline thief with it. 

 

However before he could give up hope, Batsu suddenly recoiled in pain. Falling out of the rooster's grip, Axel looked up to see Chimera standing atop the Light Piercer's railing with the smoking barrel of his blaster aimed down towards the gathering of intruders. Not willing to let such an opening slip, Axel sent Batsu stumbling backwards with a clumsy front kick, before turning towards Alex and leaping high into the air to fellow the thief as Chimera began opening fire on the pirates. 

 

"Alex!" He called out to his comrade in a desperate attempt to keep her awake. "Don't worry I w-" He was silenced by the cold grasp of Roxie as she appeared between the two and gripped his face with her palm.

 

"AAAAAAAAAANND ROXIE WITH THE INTERCEPTION!" The pirate captain cheered as she swiftly dragged Axel back to earth and drew him backwards. "She shoots," Hastily lining up her shot, she sent the other white hedgehog and flying into his robot companion with a full powered throw, neutralizing both threats with her usual style. "She scores!" Once again bowing to the invisible crowd of cheering fans, Roxie turned to ask her allies how cool she looked, only to be snatched up and dragged up to the deck of her own vessel by the entirety of her crew. 

 

Struggling to untangle himself from Chimera's immensely heavy form, Axel watch with a pained expressing as the enemy ship began to move once again. Glancing to Alex a final time, Axel bit his lip and reached into his pocket. "..." For a moment he hesitated, but upon seeing the cat's fading expression his gaze hardened. There was a brief flash of light from within Axel's clothes, and there would be similar flash within Alex's before she vanished into the darkness of the Pirate Vessel's inner workings. 

 

All the while Roxie's cries could be heard from the gold vessel's railings as her crew all irritable struggled to force her aboard. "H-Heyhey hands off the merchandise!" The sounds of struggle soon faded. "Oi the soda machine got ya pretty good Batsy! You should have seen your fa- wait, wheres Benny!?"

 

 

 

IsOSufc.png

 

 

Benny was in fact still watching Ken as he doggedly climbed  the under side of the Light Piercer. Part of her told her she should probably have made a move to stop him, but how often did she get to see something like this anyway? No often enough.

 

She continued to watch Ken's one man show for quite some time before the sun suddenly shown harshly in her eyes. Glancing up, Benny realized that her had begun to depart. "Oh!" Perking up, the spider monkey glanced back to Ken and shrugged apologetically. "Look's like we're leaving." She studied him for a moment. Though he was making pretty good progress, it would probably take him a while to reach the top, and she definitely wanted her Crusher Balls back... 

 

"Ummm," In a single motion she caused the spheres around Ken's arms to expand rapidly, creating a hole large enough for the boy to fit. "Here."Thrusting her other hand forward, she pushed the hedgehog into the newly created hole with a quick repulsive force before recalling her spheres and hastily flying up after the Pirate ship, which was now a good distance away from the Light piercer.

 

"GUYS! YOU FORGOT ME AGAIN!" Benny's voice trailed off into the sky as she raced after her crew, leaving the freedom fighters defeated and missing one of their own.

"Everything! Our Captain wants it all."

 

Oh fantastic...the roosters free... Zane groaned, just listening to the guy talk. He sounded like he was crazy. They wanted...it all? Hardly any sort of coherent thinking process there.

 

"Yeah well, having it all ain't always a good thing." he retorted. "Things in moderation is probably a lot better for you guys."

 

"It's only right that we take something back from this shitty world."

 

Zane heard the voice on his flank and as he slowly turned, his eyes widened. He wasn't expecting the bat to be THAT fast...or was it because he had his guard down? O-Oh sheet... was all he could say, as he heard Kiara let loose a high frequency screech, plaguing his ears and causing the arctic wolf to hold his ears and head. It wasn't long before he became extremely disoriented. What was more, while he was disoriented, he was spun around and immediately getting the wind knocked out of him. The bat's knee met his ribs and caused him to stumble back greatly.

 

"Don't you think? HAAAAAAA!"

 

D-DAMNIT!!! Zane thought, yelling and howling out in pain, being knocked back by Kiara due to the shockwave, as he was rolling across the deck. He kept holding his head and could only hear the ringing slightly. He glanced up and saw Batsu moved up towards him, apparently prepared to finish it...but he stopped.

 

"You guys got lucky."

 

The arctic wolf groaned greatly before doing his best to get up to follow after them. Unfortunately it only succeeded in causing him to fall back down and pass out for a short moment... Was this really all a Dire Wolf could do...? Honestly, right now Zane couldn't tell...

 

x393wz.jpg

 

-A Few Moments Later-

 

Zane slowly stirred a bit, holding his head as he slowly shook it. He could still hear the faint ringing, but it wasn't as bad. However, he looked up and saw the pirate's ship flying off. And with one quick look, he could tell they left with a lot more than what they came with...seeing as their number was short one, one armed cat.

 

D-Damn... he thought, slowly moving towards the others, with a slight grumble. "...stupid bat...she's taking that whole "outdoor voice" thing to a whole different extreme." Zane growled, digging his pinky into his ear to try and quell the faint ringing. "So what's our counter-attack, Axel? ....I mean we DO have a counter-attack...right?"

While Ken was trying to make it back up to the bridge of the ship, he was disturbed by an all too familiar force.  The sphere's around his hand expanded, and in turn expanded the hull of the ship.  Ken sighed again...he knew Chimera was going to kill him, but now there would nothing left of his soul after all of this.  And after that, the sandy spheres left his hand's and he was pushed inside of the giant hole that had just been born through the side.  With nothing to grab onto, and no momentum, Ken just had to deal with the fact that he would have to fall until he hit something...probably hard.  

 

"I think I hate monkeys now..." He said, as he plummeted to the bottom of the ship.

Not much time passed before Ken was back on the deck of the ship, reconvening with his other defeated teammates.  In the sky, the pirates had already taken off.  Looking among their faces, Ken couldn't help but clasp his hand into a fist.  If only he hadn't taken it easy on those guys...If he had gone past his second inhibitor...he could have saved everybody.  But again, due to his hubris, he was foiled and beaten.  

 

"Damnit..."  He said, almost growling.  He walked up to Axel and Zane, letting go of his anger for the moment.  

 

"So what's our counter-attack, Axel? ....I mean we DO have a counter-attack...right?"

 

"I'm ready for a counter attack."  Ken slammed a fist into his other palm.  "I won't hold back...I'll make sure that those low lives get a taste of what I'm really capable of!"  He snickered, puffing out his chest.  But there was something that Ken forgot about, and it made him lose some of his confidence.  "Uhm...how are we gonna find them?"  Ken looked among the group and realized someone was missing.  "And where is Alex?!"

So bullets hurt the rooster. That was useful information. Did he absorb only Chaos Energy, or was it just things he was ready for? Either way, the robot filed that weakness away and simply joined the group. However, he as tuning them out to focus on repairing the ship's inner workings. That Blake did a huge number on them... The robot would make him pay, and the currency... His own ship. Chimera didn't have a mouth, but he was smirking evilly at the thought of what he had done.

 

But for now, repairs. He had to prioritize the ship and Reef for now, as they needed to get moving.

 

"The counterattack began long before they left," Chimera stated. "I need to get the ship back in functioning order, and hopefully get Reef back online. For now, I'd like some of you," he paused to stare at Ken. "to clean your messes up. Flying with a hole in the ship is doable, but I rather they be patched up. We're going in without weapons, so our defenses need to be top notch at the moment," He walked towards the inside to the ship. "Thankfully, I've been working on some helpers that should make the repairs go by faster. Give me anywhere from two to three days before we getting moving again. I assume Axel did a clever little trick to allow us to track them,"

 

With that, he tuned out the world as he began to dig through the cybernetic world, cleaning through the path of destruction that disgusting organic had left, hoping to find Reef somewhere in the rubble.

Cynthia couldn't help but laugh when Roxie face planted and slid across the ground. "That was the funniest wipe out I've ever seen!" She said as she walked over to Roxie. She stopped in her tracks though when Roxie got back up. She seemed to be examining the extreme gear before she stomped the crap out of it. "Hey! Break it you buy it, B***h!" That was third freaking time Cynthia's board got broken, how many times is she gonna have to get it repaired!?

 

"You might wanna get that looked at, love... I think it's broken!" Cynthia was about to charge at Roxie before she was knocked to the ground after Roxie had kicked her extreme gear into her. Cynthia sat up from the ground to see Roxie and her goons flying away on their ship, with Alex in tow. She looked down at her extreme gear, which had a boot shaped dent in it, and sighed. "Man... We got our butts handed to us..."

Alex could feel herself being lifted up into air, she couldn't make sense of it though. Everything was getting more blurry by the second, she could hear the faint cry of Axel but then silence. Was that it? Was she really getting catnapped? Everything faded into black, the knockout gas finally did its job.

x393wz.jpg

 

Cynthia was rolling her shoulders when everyone was going on about what to do. "And where is Alex?!" Cynthia turned towards Ken. "Those pirates catnapped her." Which was extremely weird, with everything that's on the cruiser why did the pirates want Alex?

 

"The counterattack began long before they left," Chimera stated. "I need to get the ship back in functioning order, and hopefully get Reef back online. For now, I'd like some of you," he paused to stare at Ken. "to clean your messes up. Flying with a hole in the ship is doable, but I rather they be patched up.

"Thankfully, I've been working on some helpers that should make the repairs go by faster. Give me anywhere from two to three days before we getting moving again. I assume Axel did a clever little trick to allow us to track them," Two to three days!?

 

"We don't have two to three days! There's no telling what those pirates are gonna do to her, for all we know they could be bringing her back to Metropolis for some sort of bounty, we can't wait that long." she said picking up her board.

"So what's our counter-attack, Axel? ....I mean we DO have a counter-attack...right?" Axel avoided Zane's gaze. Sliding his hands deep into his pockets whilst the rest of the team began to gather around them.

 

"I'm ready for a counter attack."  Ken slammed a fist into his other palm.  "I won't hold back...I'll make sure that those low lives get a taste of what I'm really capable of!"  He snickered, puffing out his chest. "Uhm...how are we gonna find them?"  Ken looked among the group and realized someone was missing.  "And where is Alex?!"  

 

Axel opened his mouth to answer his brother, but Cynthia thankfully beat him to it.

 

"Those pirates catnapped her."

 

"The counterattack began long before they left," Chimera stated. "I need to get the ship back in functioning order, and hopefully get Reef back online. For now, I'd like some of you," he paused to glared at Ken. "to clean your messes up. Flying with a hole in the ship is doable, but I rather they be patched up. We're going in without weapons, so our defenses need to be top notch at the moment. Thankfully, I've been working on some helpers that should make the repairs go by faster. Give me anywhere from two to three days before we getting moving again." 

 

"We don't have two to three days! There's no telling what those pirates are gonna do to her, for all we know they could be bringing her back to Metropolis for some sort of bounty, we can't wait that long." Cynthia shot back, clearly the most openly concerned about their current situation.

 

"I assume Axel did a clever little trick to allow us to track them," Chimera called back over his shoulder, already getting to work on the repairs. So he had noticed. Axel wasn't surprised, it was hard to get anything past the egg bot...
 
"Yea," Axel sighed before stepping forward. A wave of doubt flushed over the entirety of his body, causing his face to be visually distressed. "Before they left..." He paused for a moment, unsure of how his allies would react. "I-I planted Silver's chaos emerald on her." His gaze shot up to Ken, clearly ready to be berated by him and the rest of the crew. Had he been too rash? In the moment the only thing he could think about was keeping Alex safe... but was it really the right move to risk one of the emeralds when the future of the planet was still in jeopardy?
 
Axel paused for a moment to allow the others to take this information in. He couldn't help but feel like he had let them down. "It's energy signature is different than the other six emeralds. The residue from Silver's and my own aura makes it stand out..." He produced the second emerald from his pocket and tap into it's power slightly, causing it to glow. "I can find that particular emerald anywhere on Mobius."

"That's one," A lone figure noted to himself as he glanced down at a large metallic object that seemed to have a pulsing red light in it's center. Tucking the object under his arm, he continued to walk through the darkness of the Light Piercer's interior. "Would it kill 'em to turn the lights on?" He mumbled, narrowly avoiding bumping is head on a pipe.
 
The figure casually whistled down the corridor as he continued his task...

10:20 PM
 
Alex would awake nearly ten hours later with quite the nasty hangover. It would take a little while for her senses to return to the point where she could figure out where she was, but when she were finally able to make out her surroundings, the thief would come to find herself somewhere she hadn't been a quite a long time. A comfortable bed. 
 
Sitting up from the luxurious pile of pillows she had been resting on, Alex quickly noticed that she wasn't in her usually attire. Instead the thief brandished a surprisingly comfortable one piece pajama outfit. Confused and slightly disoriented, Alex moved to try and escape the royal red sheets that she had been expertly tucked into, only to find that she was completely drained of all her energy and even the act of sitting upwards was starting to make her feel faint.
 
Unable to escape her soft and welcoming silk prison as of now, Alex begrudgingly eased back down. "Achoo!" She suddenly sneezed. Either someone was talking about her, or she was getting a cold on top of everything. Great.
 
Bringing her left hand up to wipe her nose, Alex's eyes suddenly grew impossibly wide with shock.  Glancing down at her hand she realized now that her shoulder was horribly sore. But that wasn't why she had a look of disbelief...
 
"HOLY s***!" Alex let loose a scream of genuine shock that filled the area. It wasn't the pain. She could handle something like that. It was the fact that her arm was there at all that caused her to suddenly be overtaken by an abrupt sense of light headiness as she peered down at the limb...

The last thing Alex could remember was that she was being taken by the pirates that attacked cruiser, but now she was in comfy pajamas, in a comfy bed, with a brand new arm on her, what was even going on? If she really was at the pirates base of operations, then why did the room she was in look so fancy? It's not like she could look around much, her body refused to move without a lot of effort, all she could do was lay still in the bed. The sound of a door opening caught her attention as she looked over to see that wolf from earlier who had thrown a net on her.

 

"That's one way to tell us you're awake..." Blake entered the room. "There was also an intercom right next to your head though. I would have probably used that." Alex looked to where he was pointing to see a small intercom beside her. This was weird, she was just fighting this guy why was he so... Nice? "What's going on here? Where am... I... Ugh..." Alex would struggle to try and sit up again.

 

"Easy..." Blake closed the door behind him. "You're on our ship. The Captain insisted we put you in her room..." He'll say whilst doing his best to walk over all the loot and crap on the floor. "You're lucky you're scream didn't start an avalanche or something..." He'll say under his breath as he final gets to the foot of the bed. Alex looked around the room before looking back down at her new arm. "What did you do to me?"

 

"It's the latest version of my Arondite Prosthetic." He'll pull out his hand held computer and get closer to you. It will look like he's scanning it. "It's not like the others. Once you're body has gotten used it it, you should be able to remove it and reapply it pretty quickly..." A subtle trace of pride could be heard in his voice. "Try moving it for me..." Despite her situation, Alex couldn't help but do as he asked. She moved the arm slowly, tilted the hand up and down, and moved the fingers one by one before clenching them into a fist, she really had an arm again.

 

"How's it feel?" Blake asked. A small smile could be seen on Alex's face. "It's... It's something I haven't felt in so long... It's great..." New arm aside, Alex remembered her situation and turned back to the wolf. "Why did you do this?" This question made Blake give Alex a confused before he realized what she meant. "She didn't tell you anything did sh-" The intercom cut Blake off as Roxie's voice bursted into the room. "BLAAAAAKEEEEEE! OVER!"

 

"Take a step from the mic Captain... I'm gonna go deaf." Blake responded. "Is she awake yet? Is she?! Over!" He looked over at Alex, he had a face that said that he dealt with this on a daily basis. "Yea, and you don't need to say over every time..." Alex agreed with that, her ears felt like they were about to explode. "Well then get your candy arses up here, love! Soups up, and I don't know how long we've got till Batsu get's here and eats it all again!" Before Blake could finish his reply, Roxie yelled back. "OVER!"

 

"And I thought Ken was loud..." she'll mutter under her breath. "You still didn't answer my question." Alex stated as she tried to move to the edge of the bed. "I think it's better if you hear it from The Captain..." He'll say without turning around. "Besides, you heard her... We've gotta hurry if we want some grub, and I don't know about you, but I'm starving." Actually, Alex was starving too. How long was she out for? "The boss made it very clear that she didn't want us messing with your stuff. Go ahead and change, unless you're also a fan of rubbery duckies..." It may be hard to tell from his tone, but it sort of will feel like he tried to make a joke there. "I'll be waiting out here."

 

Alex got up slowly but surely and moved over to her stuff, Axel's chaos emerald was there too, why the heck? Alex just shook her head, she could think on it later, right now all she think about was food, and of course why these pirates took her. After getting changed into her normal attire, she took one last look at her new arm before heading out the room, at least she could thank the pirates for something.

"Those pirates catnapped her."

 

Well Cynthia pretty much confirmed his fears. They WERE a member short, and it was cause the pirates nabbed Alex. This was just FAAAAAAAANTASTIC. And all he wanted to do today was just get to the Northern Tundra, but now this little detour was stopping them.

 

"Jeez...this is a real kick in the tail..." Zane groaned, with a shake of his head. They had Alex...so how the heck were they going to be able to-

 

"I-I planted Silver's chaos emerald on her. It's energy signature is different than the other six emeralds. The residue from Silver's and my own aura makes it stand out... I can find that particular emerald anywhere on Mobius."

 

It was silent for a good part of a minute as Zane thought this little tidbit of information over. "You placed...an Emerald on her? Axel, that is genius!" he began, only chuckling a bit at the last bit of the sentence. Of course Axel had a plan...

 

"It was... a reflex." Zane noticed how Axel looked at him when he finally answered. It seemed like he was confused or something like that. Would make sense since Axel probably thought the wolf was upset or mad with this decision. "But now they not only have Alex but one the keys to saving the world with them." Annnnnd there he went with the negative thinking.

 

Zane waved his hand a bit before chuckling. "For only a little bit. They caught us off guard this time...but when we get back to them, we'll be able to kick their asses. We know their little tricks now, after all!" he said, giving Axel a thumbs up.

 

The arctic wolf watched the ivory hedgehog stare at him for quite a bit of time, apparently being studied. Only for a short moment, however, did Zane notice the micro smile that Axel usually wore, as he crossed his arms. "Right. I almost forgot who was dealing with. We'll hunt them down. We'll take back Alex and the emerald without fail."

 

"That's more like it!" Zane smiled. However, now he was at a crossroads. The ship needed repairs and unfortunately, he wasn't the most tech savvy wolf here...no that was the OTHER wolf. Nevertheless, he knew he needed to keep himself ready for their second round. And while he and Axel were pretty much in sync with each other, he glanced over at Ken.The other ivory hedgehog seemed out of it...and the arctic wolf knew what would probably make him feel better.

 

After a moment, Zane put a hand on Ken's shoulder and smiled. "You, me...we're gonna spar once the deck is 100% fixed up. With the only exception being we're not gonna break anything. Alright?"

"Those pirates catnapped her."

 

"Damnit..."  Ken said, through grit teeth.  They were down a member...who knows what kind of unspeakable acts could befall their friend.  Ken smacked himself on the forehead and groaned.  "Why am I so stupid..."  

 

"Before they left..." The pause, and the look that Axel gave Ken, was unsettling to say the least.  "I-I planted Silver's chaos emerald on her."  

 

Ken then drug his entire hand down his face, his eyelids and lips drooping as his fingers swept over them.  

 

"Damnit!  Why are you so stupid?!"  Ken whined.  "You're supposed to be the smart one here!  How could you let something so precious be let into the paws of sky pirates!?  You gave our emerald to Skyrates!  UGGGGGGGGGH!"  Ken was so frustrated, that he collapsed to the floor and started spinning around in a circle.  He almost pulled his hair out he was so frustrated at his brother.  "GEEZ!  We need all of those you know?  To save the world and stuff?"

 

"It's energy signature is different than the other six emeralds. The residue from Silver's and my own aura makes it stand out..."

 

Ken stopped his tantrum, and quickly got up.  

 

"Oh...that totally makes sense."  Rubbing the back of his head, he smiled.  "I guess we had to have some way of tracking her down.  Sorry for yelling at ya bro."  It was then that he felt a cold hand sit on his shoulder.  

 

"You, me...we're gonna spar once the deck is 100% fixed up. With the only exception being we're not gonna break anything. Alright?"

 

Ken looked the wolf dead in the eyes, a fire lit in his pupils.  

 

"No promises there Zane!  I've had a problem with holding back lately...I ain't gonna be so kind to you as I was before this whole thing!"  Ken gave Zane a thumbs up, before something rang in his head, set off by what the Wolf had just said.  "Crap!  I forgot to ask Chimera if I should help him with repairs!"  With that, Ken zoomed off after the badnik.

Chimera sighed to himself as he repaired the scanners. These would be super important to have up if they were to assault the pirates. Best part was, it only took a few minutes of fiddling to work.

The bad news was as soon as it was online, there was an extra blimp on the screen. Someone was in ship ship. Why was someone in his ship? He had it with these motherfucking organics on his motherfucking ship. They needed to get the hell off of his ship, and he'd make them do it. He walked over to the point the new blimp was located, deep inside the haul. There, he saw them. A yellow cat holding a large metal object... one that scans revealed was a charge, made by that damn organic wolf. 

 

Chimera didn't like that. He approached the cat, his arm whirling as it became a blaster, which he pointed at the organic's head. Well, technically, he pointed it at the charge the cat used to block his face.

 

"Whoa, whoa, whoa easy there shooty...," The cat said, obviously trying to make Chimera lower his guard and calm down. "I'm doing you a favor here after all." His tone indicated he was nervous. Good. This was an environment Chimera felt most at home with.

 

"A favor by taking it out, or are you the one trying to plant it?" Chimera pressed, pushing his gun against the charge, which pushed it into the cat's face. The cat seemed to want to make sure Chimera didn't blow them all to kingdom come and back again, so he tried to change the subject.

 

"That's... a lot of armor you've got there man. You almost look like one of those robots from back in the day..." Oh? Did he mean what he thought the cat meant? If so, good. "From doctor bean man?"

"Doctor Eggman to you, you ignorant organic," he stated, the gun starting to whine with the sound of energy powering up. "And I AM one of those robots from back in the day. A Metal Series, to be exact,"

"Oh...," was the answer before a few seconds of awkward silence, the only noise being the gun charging energy and the only sight being the cat turning pale. "So if you're down here, that mean's the pirates already left, right?"

 

"Yes, they did,"

 

"Cool. Well then Mr. Beanbot..." The cat suddenly threw the bomb at Chimera and vanished in a streak of electricity. Chimera fired a few shots at him, but he bounced around to dodge, and then brush past Chimera to head up towards the upper levels of the ship.  The robot felt a spark of electricity, but nothing bad at all. "I'm sure you have lots of stuff to do, I'll let you get back to that!" Chimera growled, activating the intercom, one of the few things Blake didn't touch.

 

"Attention crew, we have an organic intruder on board. If you don't want the insides of the ship to be painted with his blood, I suggest you all get going and capture him before I get my hands on him!" Chimera stated before running off, charge in hand.

"Attention crew, we have an organic intruder on board. If you don't want the insides of the ship to be painted with his blood, I suggest you all get going and capture him before I get my hands on him!" Cynthia was just heading down when she heard Chimera's announcement, a stowaway? Great... As if they didn't have enough problems. Heading down, Cynthia caught sight of the intruder, a cat with a very nervous look on his face.

 

"Hey! Where do you think you're going!?" She said as she turned her hands into metal. He immediately noticed her and sighed. "You guys really just skipped the course on airship hospitality, huh?"

 

Cynthia just smirked. "What do you expect, for us to roll out the red carpet for you? You're the one invading our ship!" she states as she tries not to show any sign of weakness, if she did try to attack she would be very shaky and worn out.

 

"A red carpet would be nice. But I'm fine with just not being shot at!" the cat said in a frightened tone, the sound of Chimera's footsteps made the cat jump and he tried making a mad dash past Cynthia. "What? Oh no you... Don't!" he 'just' slipped out of her grasp and he bolted up to the top of the cruiser. "You're crazy if you think I'm staying here when this thing goes down!" the cat called back.

 

Cynthia changed her hands back to normal and chased after him. "Where do you even think you are!? You're talking about getting off a ship that's high above the freaking ocean!" she called back to him.

"No promises there Zane!  I've had a problem with holding back lately...I ain't gonna be so kind to you as I was before this whole thing!"

 

This both excited and worried the arctic wolf, but nevertheless, he knew this was Ken accepting his sparring match invitation, so that was a good thing.

 

"Attention crew, we have an organic intruder on board. If you don't want the insides of the ship to be painted with his blood, I suggest you all get going and capture him before I get my hands on him!"

 

"W-What?! Another one?!" Zane exclaimed, already seeing Cynthia running off, as he huffed out greatly before running after her. I...I don't know how much we can throw at this intruder...some of us are at our limits. he thought.

 

x393wz.jpg

 

"What do you expect, for us to roll out the red carpet for you? You're the one invading our ship!"

"A red carpet would be nice. But I'm fine with just not being shot at!"

 

Zane got down to the second floor of the Light Piercer, just in time to hear this and to see the yellow cat running in his direction. So this is the stowaway? Huh...well let's hope that this fast cat ain't too bright! he thought, before slamming his hands on the ground, beginning to create an icy floor.

 

"W-WHOA!!!" the cat exclaimed, instantly hitting the icy ground and beginning to fall down, his rear hitting the icy floor.

 

"H-Heh...sorry, but we're fresh out of red carpets." Zane flashed a toothly grin, chuckling. "We do hope you enjoy the white carpet we've picked out especially for you!"

 

"Oh we're making bad puns now?" the cat said, apparently recovering from his spill with ease and a lot of grace. His leg was extended and static was beginning to bounce off his body. "Since we're making bad puns...I guess I'll let this SLIDE!"

 

At this point, Zane was chuckling and applauding the cat. Another individual who's making puns? Oooohhh this is a treat! he thought, before skating on the icy ground in front of him. "Oh good comeback! Never thought of that one!" he said, with a smirk. "Though I think you need to sit back and...CHILL!"

 

With that, Zane proceeded to kick the cat, as the cat did the same. Both were knocked back, but the arctic wolf knew something that the cat didn't: his kick didn't do anything. Truth be told, Zane still felt weakened down due to the fight between him and Kiara and even him and Batsu. Both were quite taxing on the wolf...

 

"Wow that didn't even hurt...All the working out must be paying off!" the cat exclaimed happily, scuttling to his feet and shaking this attack off.

 

Zane slowly got up, still feeling the effects of the previous fights as he stared at the cat. He finally just decided to slam his hands on the ground again and attempt to create an arctic prison. The only problem was, he was low on his energy. He spent quite a bit of it with the previous fights and creating this latest icy floor wasn't helping. All he really succeeded in doing, was creating a smaller version of the arctic prison, which was created to strike and trap the cat's feet.

 

"Oh C'mon! I don't have time for this man..." the cat groaned out.

 

The arctic wolf only slumped and landed down in a sitting position as he huffed out greatly. "T-That...that should hold him..." he huffed. The toll of the fights were finally getting to him and it wasn't a fun feeling. Unfortunately for him...Zane didn't realize that the foot hold he had on the cat via this small arctic prison...was a weak one.

"DYNAMIC KENTRY!" 

 

With an intruder aboard the Light Piercer, Ken would not hold back.  Not even against a cat who's legs were encased in ice.  

 

 "Dynamic who-wha- OH CHAOS!"   The cat managed to duck under Ken's swift attack, causing the hedgehog's foot to collide with the side of the hall, leaving a rather large dent.  With Chimera in his presence, his stomach sank a tad bit.  He rubbed the back of his head, as he tried to laugh it off.  At least it wasn't a hole this time, right?  "THATS IT! YOU GUYS WANT A PEACE OF ME?!" The cat wailed, releasing himself from his icy prison with some sort of static.  He let loose a roundhouse aimed at Ken's head.   "COME GET SOME!"  Ken couldn't help but snicker at the cat's sloppy technique.  He caught the roundhouse with ease, smiling as he did so.  

 

"We want a piece of you?!  I thought you wanted a piece of us, seeing as how you are a stowaway on our ship and what not.  But if that's the case, I'll oblige you!"

 

"Oblige this!"  The cat went to kick with his other leg, but it was caught again in Ken's grasp.  The cat now hung upside down, both leg's in Ken's palms.  

 

"You're way out of your league kid."  Ken said, now annoyed.  This guy was more a nuisance than a threat.  

 

"Don't underestimate the worlds greatest detective!" His gaze sharpened, almost like that of a threat now.  "Now you're gonna feel my Ultimate technique!"  The cat closed his eyes and started clenching. It was evident that he was flexing his entire body.  There was now a slight current running through Ken's arms.  It was a little annoying, but all it managed to do was vibrate Ken's muscles.  "Royal Liger's...."

 

"Royal Ligers?!  Royal Liger's what!?"  Ken thought.  The beginning of the technique sounded really cool!  If that was the case, this attack surely would pack a punch.  Ken smiled with anticipation.  However, a bright light filled the area between Ken and the Cat.  The attack was flashy, but it hardly had any affect on Ken's body.  However, the flash was bright enough for Ken to react, and let go of the stoaway's legs.    

 

"GRAND REPOSITIONING!" 

 

When Ken opened his eyes, he could see that the Cat was gone, but his ears picked up the sound of clanking metal.  That guy was on the loose.  Ken sighed, pinching his brow.  

 

"Chimera, you can scan the ship right?  Let's find this guy and kick him overboard.  The sooner the better."

Mobian Sea - Light Piercer - Top Deck

 

The cat panted violently as he skidded on to the top deck. Glancing back the hatch he had emerged from, he pictured the four monsters of mobians that were still searching from him, causing the feline to leap back up to his feet and dash forward yet again. "f*** this man, I'm getting off this cra- Ooof!" His words were muffled by a sudden collision.

 

"Ouch, sorry du-duuuuuuuuude." The Cat's eyes widened in terror as he peered up at the figure he had bumped into. Somehow, the white hedgehog had managed to make his way up on the deck without him noticing. He crawled backwards as the hedgehog glared down at him with glowing blue eyes.omething seemed different about the guy now... 

 

As Ken and the others approached the top deck, they would hear two familiar voices.

 

"Did you change hair?" 

 

"Chaos...." 

 

"Hey-y I'm warning you kid, back off!" 

 

"Bla-"

 

"ROYAL LIGER'S GRAND REPOSTIONING!"

 ??? - ??? - Upper Deck

 

Blake guided Alex through the ships winding interior without uttering a word. Widely varying sounds and smells drifted from hall to hall, setting the pirate ship apart from what she was used to on the Light Piercer in one glaring regard... This ship felt as if it were someone's home. 

 

After a few moments she would find herself met with open sky. Upon stepping on the deck, the moon's light would greet Alex with sly sparkle, as if to personal confirm that she had been asleep for a long time. When she shifted her gaze back down to inspect the scene, the thief could see remainder the pirates scattered about the area.

 

In the center of the group sat a large steel pot of what seemed to be stew. A thick steam billowed out from it's lid, giving the area inviting warmness despite the two flailing figures that stood a few feet behind it. 

 

"BATSY NO! Use a regular bowl like everyone else!" Roxie barked before meeting the rooster in a desperate grapple.

 

Blake sighed at the spectacle but continued forward, motioning Alex to follow. 

 

"WERE I'M FROM, THE STRONGEST GET'S TO EAT STRAIGHT FROM THE POT!" Batsu billowed with effort as he tried to push past Roxie with a large spoon in his grasp. 

 

As Alex approached, the scent of stew would grow stronger and stronger, and despite her efforts to control herself, she'd feel her stomach growl yearningly. "Huh?" Upon sensing that Alex and Blake had joined the group around the fire, Roxie grunted with effort. Lifting the much larger mobian up by his sides, she tossed Batsu over her head, sending him tumbling across the deck behind them.  

 

"Look who it is!" Roxie greeted Alex with a beaming smile. "You're looking armed and dangerous, love."

 

"Does that mean the captain get's to eat from the pot?" Benny's dreary voice chimed in from over head, where she floated above the gathering with her own bowl. This prompted a light scoff from Kiara, who was too busy looking Alex over to really pay attention to the spider-monkey.

"Chimera, stop shooting!"

 

                         "Leave me alone!"

 

                                                                "It's not live ammo." 

 

"Ken, get his legs!" 

 

                                           "T-That's definitely live ammo!"

 

"..."

 

                                                               "That one nearly hit me..."

 

 

                    "ROYAL LIGER'S...."

 

                                                           "Not this time!"

 

" 'Live' is a relative term."

 

    "Grab him!"

 

Afternoon had just set in for the Light Piercer's crew, and this day had definitely taken quite the turn. Though perhaps the same could be said about their uninvited guest, who found himself cocooned in a shell of ice at the center of the deck. His expression was one of pure terror and through the block of ice, one could clearly see that he had given his captors some trouble and had needed to be forcibly apprehended. 

 

"It took us far too long to catch this guy." Axel crossed his arms and studied the intruder.  "His aura might be laughable, but he's quite good at running..." 

 

Well, they had caught the invader, now it was a matter of deciding what to do with him.

"It took us far too long to catch this guy. His aura might be laughable, but he's quite good at running..."

 

"Y-Yeah...a-also doesn't help..." Zane said in an exasperated tone, huffing greatly as the arctic wolf was currently on the ground on his back. "D-Doesn't help...that the fight with...t-the pirates t-took a lot out of us..."

 

Truth be told, Zane was now finished running on the fumes and had exhausted all his energy. He thought he'd be fine after the beating he got from those pirates, and yet all of a sudden he has to deal with this cat. Thankfully, at the end of it all, Zane had the help of Axel and was able to make another Arctic Prison to trap the intruder... However...

 

I'm...I'm so exhausted... he thought with a groan. What good...i-is being a so called...D-Dire Wolf...if I'm still back...at the bottom like this...

 

Zane just stared up at the afternoon sky, just breathing heavily as he finally just sat up and stretched a little. "S-So Axel...h-how are we gonna i-interrogate him...?"

"It took us far too long to catch this guy. His aura might be laughable, but he's quite good at running..."

 

Ken laughed.   The cat was now frozen in a block of ice on the deck.  The expression on his face was priceless.  Of course though, his brother would be the one to take down the stowaway.  The ability to just teleport wherever he pleased sure was handy, but Ken could only be jealous of that fact. 

 

"S-So Axel...h-how are we gonna i-interrogate him...?"

 

"I can think of a few ways."  Ken said, smacking his fists together.  Considering how weak this guy was, Ken imagined that tearing the cat a new one was something that wouldn't exercise his body too well.  Throwing his fists down, and shrugging, Ken smirked.  "Hell, I don't see why we just don't up and throw him off board anyway.  Like we need to interrogate some simple thief, amiright?"

The walk to the deck was quiet, save for the sounds Alex heard coming from the halls of the pirate cruiser. It seemed so different compared to the Light Piercer, less clean, more homey almost. Making it up to the deck, Alex's gaze turned to the moon, how long was she knocked out for?

 

Looking across the deck she saw the pirates scattered about, enjoying a meal. Speaking of which, Alex's stomach growled as the smell of the apparent stew wafted against her nose. Roxie was holding the rooster back from eating the whole thing but as soon as she noticed Alex she just up and threw the rooster away behind her.

 

"Look who it is!" Roxie greeted Alex with a beaming smile. "You're looking armed and dangerous, love."

 

Alex looked over a few of the pirates before turning back to Roxie. "Let's just cut to the chase ok? What the hell is going on!? You could've taken anything off that cruiser but you decided to just up and bag me instead! If I'm some kind of prisoner you're not getting anything from me!" she stated angrily.

 

"Use your head." Blake will interject. "If we wanted anything from you, we'd already have it... You think waking up in that bed is just a part of the standard pirate victim package?"

 

Roxie laughed a little. "Alotta practitioners for the 'ol 'give the las an arm', THEEEN steal her wallet bit where you come from, love?"

 

"Where I come from is none of your concern!" Alex stated angrily. "I need answers!" This didn't faze Roxie at all as she went to get a bowl of stew for herself, the pirates seemed to have been looking Alex over, the bat in particular was giving Alex a very judgemental look.

 

"We're having some grub. Sheesh, I thought that much was obvious... I bet you a pile of gold that they don't have eats like THIS in 'isn't your concern'." Roxie was clearly mocking her.

"We meet a lot of people from there, don't we captain? I wonder were that is..." The monkey decided to chime in.

 

Alex was about to yell something but her stomach growled and cut her off. "Ugh... How long was I out?" she said holding her stomach.

"12 hours..." the wolf said as he snatched Roxie's bowl from her. "I had Alfonso put you under... trust me, you would't wanna be up for the procedure anyway."

 

"Blake may try to act tough but he's a total softy..." Roxie said as she reached for Alex's arm. "He does a hella of a good job though, eh?" Alex yanked her arm away and looked at it for a moment. "Well... It's hard to complain about this..." she said with a small smile.

 

Roxie seemed to smile, and it seemed genuine. "Could you complain about some grub?" she said, nodding to the food. Alex's stomach growled more and she gave a glaring look towards Roxie before looking back at the pot of stew. Whether she trusted them or not, Alex needed some food in her gut now. She went over to grab a bowl for herself.
