1st Sheet ☆ Trouble on the island ♪ [Voice/Action for those on Isla Empieza]

AIIII-YEEEEEEEeeeee-!

[A high-pitched squeal and the thud of a journal hitting the ground emanated from this entry. The scream was followed by the sounds of scuffling against what a wooden surface. The girl was desperately begging something or someone not to harm her...]

Please.... please I'm begging you, just let me go! I don't want to die!

[The struggle continued, followed by another thud. It seemed like the girl could have fallen, her footfalls had ceased but there was still a rustling sound. Whoever was under attack was still trying to evade]

I just wanted safe passage off this island! Please..

[The crying started gently before transitioning to full out sobs]

Can anyone help me.... I.... I can't do this on my own...

[And with that the journal went silent. There were a few clues to where the girl might be. She'd been looking for a ship, and the surface she was on had been wood... it wouldn't be hard to assume that she might be at the docks but would anyone come to help her? Would it be too late?]

Hm? What's this now?

[Cody didn't have much to fear from the current crisis. He kept his distance from the mystery woman on purpose. Nothing ever came free, and someone just offering a chance to leave had to be hiding something. He'd just been pacing the island, watching things unfold and fighting when attacked.

He sees the girl running his in direction. His arm lashes out as she passes, clothes-lining one of the pursuers and sending him smashing into a few of his brethren.]

I don't recommend that. You're just gonna' exhaust yourself. Better to stand and deliver.

[When she caught sight of the man in front of her, she wasn't sure if she should veer off or not. This guy- could do a lot of damage if he sided with her pursuers. After a glance over her shoulder, it was obvious that turning back wouldn't be advised. Maybe she could just get passed this guy and be alright!

Much to her surprise he stepped in to help. Skidding to a stop, she looked towards this stranger and listened to what he had to say.]

I'm sorry? I'm not much of a fighter....

[There wasn't much about the girl that looked threatening. She moved closer to the guy, subconsciously trying to hide behind him.]

Thank you so much for your help!

[This succeeded in switching the aggro over to Cody, which was just the way he liked it. He grinned at the assembled men as he cracked his knuckles, the manacles clinking loudly with every movement.]

Guess you guys have to switch dance partners for a bit. Don't disappoint me, now.

[The first rushed him. In one move he both swept her out of the way and spun around in a low sweep, taking out the man's legs. When the next came in behind him, Cody rose with an uppercut hard enough to make the man somersault before landing on his cohort. The last two came in at the same time, trying to simply barrel over him. He stopped them dead, his feet skidding back just a bit on the ground, then pushed them back. Both fists slammed into their solar plexi, making them bow over in pain.]

Man, is that all you guys have? That's not fun at all.

[It was baffling to her just how eager her benefactor was to join into the fray. He was so confident and in control, like the prospect that he may lose never occurred to him]

Kya!

[She exclaimed in spite of herself when he moved her out of the way. Closing her eyes and placing her hands to either side of her face, she left it all in his hands. Hesitantly, she opened one eye to see how things were going. The others were no match for this man's strength and resolve. She'd never witnessed someone with such sheer force and speed before. To him, this was as fluid as it was for her to play a melody on the piano.]

Amazing.... [She mouthed, in one fell swoop it seemed like he'd obliterated the entire pack. When it looked like it might be safe, she moved over to one of the bodies, and kneeled down.] .. will they be alright after this? And... are you okay?

Sure, they'll be fine. Probably. Maybe. Actually, I don't really care.

[He yawned and rubbed the back of his neck, before popping a few joints as his body entered a more relaxed state.]

Yeah. Kinda' boring, right? I need to find stronger guys.

[She looked down at the fallen opponent uneasily, and though she may have objected to his way of thinking she didn't say so.]

Thank you.

[She bowed her head gratefully, but a smile curved upward at the side of her lips. A harshness entered her voice that hadn't been there before]

Then maybe I can make this more interesting for you...

[Pulling a gun off the body of the fallen man, she swung the weapon to get the stranger in her sights before putting the hammer down, releasing the bullet from it's chamber. A peel of laughter escaped her lips as she reveled in the moment.]

.. They tried to stop me you know... stop me from killing the others. [She laughed again, before trying to send off a few more rounds.

ooc: I'm sorry Cody, this was Haruka's trap.. ~~She's been possessed by the witch. Though she's not a very good assassin... XD~~]

[Luckily, this isn't the first time someone has used a gun against him. That's the great thing about hunting gangs down. Exposure to a wide variety of painful tools of destruction.

There's a moment of surprise before his instincts kick him, causing him to dive out of the way. The shot grazes his shoulder, causing a trickle of blood to run down his arm.]

Guess you're one of the nutty ones, huh? Good thing these guns ain't exactly rapid-fire capable.

[Normally, Haruka would have been thrilled that he'd moved out of the way to avoid serious damage, but right now it was an irritation]

I agreed to serve her and only her. I won't have any of you standing in my way.

[She frowned at the gun, when didn't fire again. The single shot pistol highlighted just how little she knew about weaponry. Casting it aside it clattered to the ground. Spying a stack of barrels behind her, she yanked at the rope to free them and let them go rolling unencumbered towards the stranger]

Let's go!

[He strode toward her, quickening his pace as the first barrel came to him. Cody jumped high, hopping with surprising agility for a man of his size. He kicked up the last barrel before sending it hurling straight at her.]

Better move!

[She no longer admired his tenacity now that it was aimed against her. Maybe it had been foolish to attempt this, but ALL OF THEM... needed to go. Every last one, this guy included. Haruka yelped as she caught sight of the barrel being returned to her.

She didn't have this man's fortitude nor agility. Try as she might to brace herself, the barrel smacked into her, the terrible sound of splintering wood and her cries mixed together. When the dust settled, she was lying on the ground, her side was no doubt going to be horribly bruised later.

Still, she fidgeted.. and struggled to sit up. There was still so much for her to do. It couldn't end here.]

...It-itai.. [She grimaced, searching the surroundings for another makeshift weapon.]

[Cody paced over to her casually, whistling a little tune to himself as he closed in. He picked up a piece of wood, then tossed the plank to her.]

Try usin' that.

[Hearing him approaching, she stilled and looked fearfully towards him.. but he threw her a weapon? He was making fun of her? Still.. she grabbed it and got to her feet]

This isn't a game.

[She said with all the conviction she could muster- though in her soft voice it wasn't very threatening. She swung the board in his direction to try fending him off and she backed up... and tried to inch into an opening]

Maybe to you. Me? I think it's a hoot.

[Cody's hands slid into his pockets as he let her circle him, waiting for an attack. His eyes slowly closed.]

[She was just trying to turn to flight again, but... when he closed his eyes it gave her all the encouragement she needed to take a swing at him. Holding the board with both hands, she aimed toward his midsection]

[Cody turned into her attack, letting the board slap against his lower back instead of his belly.]

Are you done, yet? I really need to keep movin', so I'm just gonna' knock you out for a bit.

[Either way, there wasn't much force behind it. Her muscles were not as they should be for launching an assault on anyone. She'd not been the healthiest as a child either so .. there had a lot in the way of athletic endeavors that had eluded her]

I can't allow that....

[She dropped the board, and made a run for it.]

...Well, I guess that works.

[He called out after her as she fled.]

Try to stay outta' trouble!

[What was wrong with this guy? She had be trying to kill him. It was a pity that they hadn't met under normal circumstances, but if this all blew over... He'd be one of the first people she'd want to find and apologize to]

Ah, miss! Are you alright?!

[There was a slight delay before she answered. Her voice was hushed..]

For the moment... please, talk softly... I don't want them to find me again..

[Taking a breath]

I... I don't know what to do. I'm trapped here behind some barrels.... I don't think I can escape.

[Oh oops! Gakupo starts whispering, as well.]

Sorry! Okay, uh...are there people around you?

It's okay. Only the ones I'm hiding from.... I think if someone else came by, they'd lose their nerve and leave.

You may have to wait until that time, but whenever you manage to escape, you'll need to find blue fireflies and follow them. They'll lead you to Backwater Brig. It's down an alleyway. There's this...teleporty thing that can send you to any ship. You can come to the Koumyou.

[He'll probably get in trouble for not asking permission, but she needs help! He'll take that risk.]

Blue fireflies?

[How curious. This wasn't going quite like she expected but she could work with it.]

Thank you, as soon as I can get away, I'll try to make a break for it.

[She's definitely going to try taking him up on his offer.. ooc: Haruka is currently possessed by the witch and was using the "damsel in distress" card to find opponents. If you wanted to log this out... she could come aboard and cause you and your fellow crew members trouble. Sob.. I didn't expect her initial cr to start out this way XDDD

(ooc: got the okay from the rest of the crew to continue here!)

YAY XDD!
