Serious : G-7 Versus Barbarosa

[Guest]

Resting his  back against the boat that would transport Akira and his recruits the majority of the way to the isle of Barbarosa before finishing the final 500 yards via rowing boat.  Waiting for his subordinates to join him, Akira let out a yawn which was more of a roar, it was early and the captain hadn't had the greatest nights' sleep he never did the night before missions, the 15+ years experience still hadn't changed him, the feeling was odd it wasn't anxiety but more of a concern especially as he would be responsible for the well-being of two others something he wasn't totally conformatable with , Akira had always been more of a loner or follower than a leader he disliked the responsibility.

Reaching into the insides of his kimono and pulling out his metallic flask, Akira poured himself a cup of his own-brew tea before offering a cup to one of the officers standing guards beside him who was showing the effects of sleep-withdrawal much clearer than Akira, the marine politely declined before yawning once more. Shrugging Akira slurped his tea and smiled as the tea warmed him up as well as waking him up albeit slightly.

[Docile]

Hearing the sounds of seagulls outside his window Colton was woken by the squawks which echoed throughout his little room. Flicking his eyes open as if they were cards being flicked through he got up and begun to rub his eyes.

The bed had been horribly lumpy and a rancid overpowering stench had been left to linger from the previous recruit to use this room. Heading to the window to breath in the beautiful sea air he leaned back in and caught another nose full of the disgusting stench.

Serpent Shed

Drifting into pieces and out through the window, pieces of volcanic ash drifted through the window quickly and spiralled in the air before beginning to spin on the deck of the ship reforming the body of Colton before a group of Marines.

Inhaling unpolluted air he grinned. It was allot better than the room he'd spent the night in. Stretching he felt the comfort of his own clothing touch upon his torso and knew today was going to be a good day. Even if he was going on a mission. His own clothing always made him feel better.

Looking towards the island Colton could see it was far off in the distance. He was excited to arrive, but not so looking forward to all the energy he'd have to use. But he was a logia, so he might not have to. Shrugging he recalled all the information from earlier about the mission.

He thought about a way to capture their targets but tossed the idea aside. He wasn't the Captain. He figured that he could petrify everything and one and then just go find the flash drive.

But that took allot of energy out of him and he didn't really need to kill everyone on the island. He could just walk along normally and avoid everyone and find the flash drive whilst Akira & Alxeis dealt with everyone else, since they were the ones who wouldn't be able to avoid direct hits.

Shaking his head, he realized he'd been thinking about this too much, or maybe it wasn't enough. He couldn't tell all he could tell though was that he needed to catch up on some sleep after the previous night's failed attempt.

Sitting down and resting his back against the wall, he placed hands behind his head and closed his eyes. He'd only been awake a matter of moments and used his devil fruit to drift apart and reform, but to Colton that was more than enough work to warrant nap time.

[Vaetric]

Bored.

It was always like this on a ship. There was nothing to –do-. The sailors whatever did their job, but she was hardly ever picked to do anything. Sure, she was told to clean up a couple of times, but unfortunately that too came under the category of BORING. Even annoying the other recruits got boring, such as continuously asking the others “Are we there yet?” Though, it was funny to see the look on their faces as if they didn’t understand her. It was a straightforward, simple question! Why did they make those faces as if she was talking gibberish?

Sighing, she got off of the floor, the mat was much more comfortable than the beds, though maybe she should try a hammock or something, couldn’t be any worse. She strolled to top deck. She spied with her somewhat larger than normal eyes, something beginning with C. She walked over toward the side and “accidently” (attempted) to kick and step on Colton’s legs. “Whoops!”

[Guest]

As his eyes panned across the deck, Akira located his two recruits ; Alexis and Colton both. Making his way to them before reaching into his pocket and pulling out a piece of folded up paper that he had prepared the evening before their mission. Whistling as he approached he wagged his finger for the two of them to follow as he unfolded the crumpled paper and smoothed it out with the palms of his hand, drawn onto it were crudely drawn diagrams of Rokushiki and the forms of the six styles that Peacock or Captain Briar knew. These being Soru, Shigan, Rankyaku and Tekkai.

"I'm not sure if you were ever taught about Rokushiki or Six Styles martial arts previously but just in case I'll show you a quick crash course in it. It's an advanced martial art comprised of six main techniques which can be further modified based on the users proficiency in each. Since Briar only knows four of the six I'll just explain the ones he knows."

Pointing to the first image that featured a stickman jabbing a hole through another stickmans chest.

"Style 1 - Shigan, or the finger gun pretty self explanatory by jabbing someone with their index finger at a high velocity it causes a gun-shot like wound. Normally this wouldn't apply to yourself Colton but Alexis over here isn't as lucky, nor am I"

Moving his finger to the second image that was labeled with a '2'sign the image featured a stickman disappearing before reapearing mid air in a completely different location

'Style 2 - Soru, it's not an offensive move but more of an evasive move that is often used in conjunction with a offensive based Rokushiki technique. The user moves at a high enough speed to turn invisible before reappearing a split second usually in a different location.'

Placing his finger to the bottom left hand corner to an image that featured a stickman swinging his leg round in a roundhouse motion

'Style 3 - Rankyaku or the Leg Sword, again like Shigan the user is able to use their limbs as a weapon this time a leg and a sword that is capable of sending air waves that retain the same cutting prowess as a regular sword'

Finally Akira placed his index finger over the final diagram which was a stickman with a shield scribbled over it's chest

'Style 4 - Tekkai or Body Armour.The user tenses their muscles to the point they become as hard as metal and melee damage becomes near enough useless. That's the extent of Briars powers besides his Haki that is dormant and will only come out as a last resort for his life. But if we do our jobs right and stay hidden it shouldn't matter but it's always good to know just in case. Any questions?"

[Docile]

As the woman tried attacking him Colton woke up to feel something and looked up at Alexis. He wanted to shout but it was still early and did he really need to raise his voice. It was too much effort.

Instead he settled for a much easer "Do you mind?"

Getting to his feet at the sight of an approaching Akira, Colton could see he had something with him and when he begun to speak about this martial arts that Briar knew. The former Commodore who looked like a fucking peacock.

Nodding Colton listened and took a few quick glances at the pages and the diagrams. He knew it looked like he didn't much care or was slacking but in all he did care, but he didn't need to focus so intently on it like some others.

Logging the techniques into a new folder of his brain named Rokushiki he listened to what Akira had to say about the four techniques Briar knew.

He knew that this was for his benefit and followed up with a question to Akira.

"Mind if we practice these techniques for a bit? I wouldn't mind learning how to do that finger thing & the leg one. The other two I don't think I'll need."

He started thinking of ways he could combine them with his Hai Hai no Mi and started to grin to himself. Thinking of unleashing a hellish storm with scolding ash from a single kick or an even quicker way to introduce ash to someone's system with the use of a finger like needle.

He would become an admiral in no time, well if these guys didn't use haki of course. Looking to Akira, Colton snapped out of his day dream and grinned as he waited for an answer.

[Vaetric]

Mission: 1/7th revenge… Success? She grinned and walked off. “Nah! Olways ah plesha!” She walked off to lean by the railing on the ship before noticing Akira wlking towards them, she went back and nodding to him. She was about to say “wossap?” but then he started speaking. He started telling them about rokushiki or something with pieces of paper that looked like art compared to her own. Shigan and Rank-something sounded VERY interesting indeed.

She was about to ask about learning the two before Colton spoke up, aw crap. Now she’d have to learn the other two useless-sounding ones out of principle, before something struck her. “Er… Wot’s tha’ oother tuo’ ones?” She asked, maybe since the cock-head didn’t learn them, maybe it was because it was too strong for him to learn? Hopefully she might be able to do them!

“Hah! Looks like yah’ outta luck, wif tha’ haki ‘ees got!” She chortled about Briar’s usage of haki, attempting to elbow Colton in a playful manner.

[Guest]

"The other forms are Geppou which allows the user to jump on the air simulating the act of flight, and Kami-e which causes the user to dodge attacks and projectiles by causing their body to go limp like a piece of paper" remarked Akira in regards to Alexis' question it was nice to know they were attentive enough and were listening. "We haven't got enough time to practive, plus I'm not exactly proficient in the style, I barely know it myself"

As a grey smog billowed through the ship and ensnared it, a number of crewman began to cough and cover their mouth. The Pollution Levels inside Barbarosa were high, incredibly high due to the recent conflicts between the locals and the Briar and Bosco alliance where Bosco had won only due to the backstabbing of Briar towards the Barbarossian Natives. Akira flared his nostrils and began to smith before smiling .

"Yep, this is definetly Barbarosa. Alexis this probably feels like home for you right" laughed Akira as he slapped her on the back rather forcefully. Extending both palms in front of him Akira pointed them down towards the deck as three boats emerged along with three pairs of Uchiwa Fans.

"Were gonna be rowing the last leg of the journey to avoid the lighthouses and patrols they wont be able to spot small boats like these from that height. You guys ever rowed before? Oh I forgot Colton don't fall out..."

Akira dropped his canoe onto the seabed and formed a makeshift ladder out of vines as he swung one leg over the side of the boat, before looking back to his recruits. "Stick Close"

[Docile]

Being elbowed by Alexis Colton sighed and shook his head. When she mentioned how out of luck he was because this guy had haki, Colton shrugged. He didn't actually care, but whatever. In response to Alexis's question Colton made sure to listen to the descriptions about these other two forms of Rokushiki and both sounded pretty useless to him being a logia.

When smoke begun to wash over the ship and the scent of war entered his nostrils, Colton coughed a little. He hadn't expected such smog, but he did like the smell. Hearing Akira speak up again Colton rolled his eyes. Rowing? Really?! Urgh!

Replying to Akira, Colton spoke up in a lazy tone.

"Can't I just drift ashore and secure a position for us? I mean its not like they'll spot me if I drift. And anyway isn't it safer to have a secure place to dock than hoping they'd be somewhere safe there that could possibly raise alarm."

Knowing that he was probably going to be told no, Colton started to climb into the canoe.

[Vaetric]

“Limp loik ‘is dick, roight?” She chortled, leaving it a bit ambiguous as to who she was referring to. But anyway, flight sounded… Good. She remembered her fight with Colton, and of how he suspended her into the air, if she had that geppou-thing, she’d be able to avoid his attacks! Kami-e was useless apart from in a fist fight, but maybe she could combine soru, geppou and tekkai into some kind of high-powered body slam? Sounded good.

In fact, she could dare Colton to use shigan o her and break his finger? “Heheheh…” she giggled evilly to herself. She blinked as suddenly grey stuff flowed through the ship, she blinked as the ship became blanketed by it and the other recruits started to cough.”Wots wrung yAh’ fokwets? Tha’ air is foine!” She nodded to him, before giving an “umph!” as she gets slapped on the back, frowning and attempting to rub the slapped area.

Yes, it was the smell of industry. Or war, she couldn’t tell. Anyway, it was time to… Row? Ah! She remembered, with the large spatula-things, they push them back and forth into the water to move it. She followed Akira to one of the boats, practically jumping into it. She turned to Colton, giving him a small sneer. “Wossrong? ScAred?”

[Guest]

Looking at Colton who quite clearly had reservations about the plan Akira had devised in the space of around five seconds. Shaking his head he looked up towards Colton from his canoe. "Can't risk it, we have no idea what kind of man power Bosco is dealing with, you could be easily outmanned, we don;t knowo what weapons these fellows have they could have Seastone then what would you do?. If theres not a dock I can make a temporary bridge for us"


Gripping his two oars in either hand the Captain leaned back with each stroke fully extending and contracting his lateral muscles for an added glide as he tried his best to keep the splashes and sounds minimal. The Journey by boat to the shoreline was 10 minutes at an average pace, but in total it was probably 15 as Akira kept checking back to make sure Colton or Alexis hadn;t fallen in. Signalling with his arm to steer towards the right hand side of the island.

The Isle Of Barbarosa:

The Trio found themselves at the base of a 15 Ft Cliff, looking up Akira grinned before turning back to his recruits

"Looks like we got a little climbing to do"


Formulating a vine out from his hands Akira glanced upwards as he looked for something to wrap it around, as he scanned the area for a few minutes he smiled as he saw the trunk of a palm tree , the captain flung the vine around the tree untill it was firm and tort, hopping onto the cliff he began to walk up the cliff face.

"Follow after me. Nice and quiet now"

[Docile]

Rolling his eyes and complying Colton joined his Captain & rival in the boat. It was a short journey but still would've been quicker if he could make his own way over, but he wasn't the fighting type so he couldn't be bothered to argue, he may as well lay back and accept the situation.

Arriving they were faced with a large cliff face and as Akira mentioned it would be best to climb up his vines that he was able to form, Colton decided now was his time to shine. At least it would be in a minute or two.

Watching as Akira begun to climb Colton Took a few moments to stretch before he used Serpent Shed

Drifting into a variety of pieces of ash he drifted towards the top of the cliff face and reformed himself hanging from the edge of the cliff peering over the top of it. This was the thing he liked about his logia. It allowed him to be lazy and kinda expected it and he wasn't about to disappoint.

[Vaetric]

Alexis took in the sites, always attempting to row her boat faster than Colton's and probably succeeding if only she didn't nearly ram into Akira's as a result, causing her to slow down. Soon they met a cliff, her eyes lit up, just what she needed! Now she can out-shine Colton with her climbing skills! "Quiot s' a mause, capp'ain!" she said, enthusiastically.

She looked at Akira with disgust for a moment as he summoned a vine, before coming closer with the canoe or whatever it was she had and put her hands onto the cliff, feeling it before starting to climb up. She prodded rocks, checking their integrity before using them. True to her namesake, it didn't take her long to get up the thing, before frowning at a Colton who was already there. "Fokkin' che'tin' again aren' ya'?" She said with annoyance, clambering to her feet.

Whatta... The fakka? How did he get up so quickly?

[Guest]

After clambering to the top of the Cliff Face, Akira couldnt help but feel a little disgruntled as Colton floated past him and reached the top in a matter of seconds looking at him with a face of discontempt the Captain patted himself down as he waited for Alexis to join the pair. Signalling for the pair to remain silent by placing his index finger against his lips mostly aimed towards Alexis as the Captain knew she could be a liability inb this scenario. The Trio stood behind a fence that stood another 10 meters tall and from the looks of it ran the entire perimeter of the isle.

"Alrighty, your time to shine Ryker. Firstly, float up and tell me what you see over the fence, if it's clear hop over and melt a hole in the fence for me and Alexis to crawl through"


The Fence seperated the trio from the Main Camp of Bosco's forces that was around a 5 minute walk from the exact position of the G-7 Trio.

---Barbarossian Palace---

"HYAAAAAAAAAAA" Roared Bosco as he slammed the Wooden Bokken into the padded gut of one of his man-searvants who he had ceased along with the palace when he overthrew and murdered the previous head of state. With a cocky and arrogant strut the large frame of Commander General Alonzo Bosco ripped off his gloves as he looked up towards the upper hallway of the stately home . With one hand rested on the railing and another holding up a briefcase , Former Commodore Briar he'd up a briefcase upon sight Bosco's mouth widened with glee as he pushed pasthis servants and up the staircase to the commodore.

[Docile]

Nodding as his captain joined him Colton couldn't see Alexis and peered down to see her. Realizing she had to do it by hand he remembered she didn't have it as easy as he did. That was when Captain Akira spoke about his time to shine. Listening to his orders Colton nodded.

"Can do sir."

Floating up and peering over the edge he could see two pirates. Probably just on some pointless patrol for the sake of it, they stunk of bourbon and cigarettes. Hmm maybe they weren't on patrol.

Serpent Shed

Drifting into a series of pieces of ash Colton allowed himself to pass through the fence and reform behind the two pirates. He didn't really care to do this, but it was his commanding officer's orders to make sure the area was clear.

Dragon Scorch

Placing a hand over their faces and forcing ash into their bodies Colton waited till they both stopped struggling then released them. As both bodies hit the floor he meandered towards the fence.

Placing a hand on the fence he started to burn a hole through it with his finger. Burning a hole just big enough for Akira he kicked the loose bit free then poked his head over the top and gestured towards Akira whispering.

"Its clear up here Captain."

Stepping back to let him through Colton sat down on one of the corpses and waited for the next orders.

[Vaetric]

"Uuuurgh." she 'said', as she sat roughly down onto the ground, leaning against the fence. Why did they need COLTON to do the jobs? So what if he could float? She could maybepossiblyperhaps climb the fence faster. Yeah, definitely faster, and she can get a saw or something from the other side to open it up for the other two, but NOOOPE. Colton.

He breaks up into little pieces of DIRT damn it! What's so special about that? A little bit hot, can push people around but yeah, only scalded a little, what's he going to do, increase their washing bill? "'Ow long now again?" She said, looking at the cliff. When she saw that Colton had FINALLY made the hole, she crawled over to go first(or second) in.

[Guest]

Noting what appeared to be eagerness in the face of Alexis , Akira waved his hand as he allowed Alexis to crawl under first. After a brief wait the Captain crawled underneath before dusting himself down once again. Noticing the bodies he signalled for Colton to hop off of the corpse as the Captain gave the two bodies a checking over before gently unbuttoning their uniforms and tossing them to his two recruits . The Captain said a silent prayer for the two departed souls as he discovered their metal dog tags he yanked them off before tossing one to Colton and hooping one over his neck.

"Colton slip that on, you're now Travis McNulty according to that, I'm Lester Skempton remember that now. " Stripping down Akira swapped his old robes for his new uniform that consisted of a Khaki Short Sleeved Shirt and trousers and beige boots and had a rather stagnant smell of body odour coming from it. Looking over to Alexis , Akira smiled as he looked towards Colton and nodded.


"Grab her, I've got a plan."


---Barbarossian Palace---

Embracing his ally with a firm hug that lifted the near six foot man cleanly off his face, Briar managed a smile as he was nearly crushed to death. "Good to see you to Bosco. I got something for you" said Briar with a slight teasing tone implemented into his voice as he raised the briefcase and dangled it in the face of the Commanding General.

Rubbing his hands with excitement and anticipation as he extended his arm towards his office Briar made his way towards the large oak doors that had been reinforced with steel. Following his ally Bosco poked his head out the door before grasping a waiter carrying a silver platter with a glass jug full of water and two cups by the shirt yanking him towards the door causing him to lose balance of the plate and thus sending the jug crashing to the floor along with the cups.

"YOU. make sure noone interupts us, if they do I'll hold you accountable, you got that?" said Bosco with the aggression sharp in his throat.

[Docile]

Begrudgingly getting to his feet Colton meandered towards the cliff face and looked out over towards the ship he'd come from. It made him smile to see the vast open blue before him.

Turning around to see that Akira was tossing him a uniform Colton caught it with his face.

Pulling off and admiring the uniform he pulled it on over his own clothing. Adjusting it to try and give it some form of comfort he felt out of place. But then again he was wearing someone else's clothing.

Pulling on the cap and buttoning up the jacket he heard Akira's orders about grabbing Alexis. He figured that she wouldn't like this and happily obliged.

Stepping behind Alexis, Colton with a cheeking grin on his face, Colton reached forward to grab her wrists.

"You know I'm not normally this proactive about grabbing girls, but its Captain's orders."

[Vaetric]

Alexis looked around, before noticing the bodies. “Blody unlocky weren’ they innit?” She asked, bending her knees to poke them. Welp, that’s what they got for doing whatever they did for Colton to choke them or something. In fact, that’s what they get for Colton doing the hole-making to begin with, she could at least beat them up and take them alive, BUT NOOOO. Of course not, Colton had to take the EASY option. Pussy.

She then noticed that Akira and Colton were taking their clothes, must be for infiltration she reached for the third corpse. There was no third corpse. “Er…” She said, looking around. Did she have to go and hunt for her own one? She guessed it was just as well, since the third person would’ve probably have been female or something. She heard Akria say something about grabbing her. Who? She turned around, looking for the extra female guard whose uniform she could take.

COOOOOLLLLLTTTTTTOOOOOOONNNNNNN.

“Hoi! Git awf me yA’ noodle-‘aired stick!” She said, of course struggling.

[Guest]

Grabbing her other free arm, Akira knew the plan could work mainly because Alexis' reaction was believable...very believabe. As he began to lead her down the pathway towards the camp, leaning in towards her Akira whispered into her ear "Sorry about this but were making it believable plus there was no uniform for you and your bust makes it hard to sell yourself as a man. Now, your a rogue marine who has information on Hayward stick to the cover".

As a patrol passed looking at the trio with a judging glance Akira caught their sight before kneeing Alexis' in the back of the knee admittedly the Captain had pulled his punch quite a bit as he didn't want to cause his recruit any more pain than what was required. "I said Stop Wriggling" said the Captain in a loud tone so the passing patrol would hear and quell their rising suspicions.

"Help me get her up Travis"

After a short walk the trio found themselves in the main camp of the Bosco forces, as they approached many soldiers glanced at them judging them with every stride they took. Walking through the various tents Akira spied a large gazebo like tent that was partially opened which featured a large table and furnishings which Akira ascertained was the main authorities tent. Approaching the tent Akira's path was blocked by the large and menacing frame of two bodyguards that were almost the size of the tent that they were trying to ge to.

"Whats your business with the Seargant?"


"We got a ex-marine here says she's got info on Hayward you know Titan Fist Hayward."


"Bullshit." refuted the man as he pushed Akira with two hands as if to antagonize him into a violent reaction. As the Guard was about to open his mouth he was stopped by the sound of a loud but obvious cough to which both bodyguards parted allowing the three marines into the tent.


Inside of the tent sat a man with grey thinning hair and a truly disturbing scar over his left eye that saw the eyeball almost popping out of the socket, doing his best not to react at the hideousness of the injury Akira struck a salute before shoving Alexis in front of him.

"What are your names?" asked the Seargant.


"Private Lester Skempton SIR"

[Docile]

Following his Captain and sensing a strong tension in the air between himself & Alexis, Colton walked up the path with his Captain and their captor. He wanted to say something but his brain couldn't think of anything.

When another patrol passed by Colton didn't quite notice Akira's actions till he was suddenly dragged down with her. Hearing his command to help her up Colton retorted confused.

"Whose Travis?" taking a second he remembered his own name and helped up Alexis.

Continuing the journey Colton watched the environment spread open before him and suddenly the two large body guards. As Akira started speaking he clenched his fist. He was ready to take these two men down if needed. But in a much stealthier way than normal.

Prepared for an attack Colton gritted his teeth and without realizing tightened his grip on Alexis too. Hearing the epithet that pirates had for Hayward made Colton raise an eyebrow.

Was that really it? I thought he'd have something more menacing than that!

Shaking these thoughts loose Colton continued past the guards and looked at the man whose eye nearly popped out of place. Biting his lip and saluting he figured the less he said here, the better.

The man questioned their names and Colton followed suit after Akira as he placed his free hand into his pocket.

"Names Travis McNulty sir, this here is former Lieutenant Mary Horingold, she used to work directly beneath Hayward so if anyone knows much about him, its this woman. From what we've extracted from her, Hayward is fully aware of the missing flash drive and doesn't trust any one else other than himself to collect it. We've also been able to confirm that his ship is currently waiting in the distance surveying the island. If you head to the cliff face you'll be able to see it through a telescope. I'd suggest getting ready for an all out attack from Hayward if I were you sir. You know what the man is capable of and I'm certain no one here wants to suffer at the hands of that psychopathic bastard."

[CLANK]

[Vaetric]

Aaaaand they were taken past some shiz and so forth, past the sights, past the streets if there were any, Alexis was too busy fueding by their choice of ‘who was the prisoner going to be?’ And her tits were too large? Buuuull-ssssshheeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiittttt. Not a valid excuse. She half-expected them to put some cuffs on her, because if the other guys attack she won’t be able to do anything, but Akira can hippie-tise them with his flower-power and Colton can mess up their uniforms or something. “Yer’ll both get a keck in tha’ bulz AftAh this.” She muttered, being dragged off to her fate or whatever.

She got pushed to the ground, great. Sighing, she piped up: “Oi! If yA won’ Any infoz’ on ‘AywArd, ye’d ‘Ave tAh’ treAt me A lil’ bettAh!” Promptly before Colton already spilled the beans. “Prick.” She called Colton, glaring at him before turning to the man who looked like a serial killer from some theatre show.

[Guest]

Hearing Alexis' demands Akira wanted to facepalm however he opted to firmly slap his hand down onto her shoulder before whispering into her ear once again.

"Might I add you're not in a position to be making demands"

Stroking his chin, as he contemplated the legitamacy of the claims the Seagant hopped to his feet as if to make his way over to the cliff face. Akira turned to Colton with an approving nod , he was quite proficient in the art of bullshitting thinking the plan was going smoothly Akira rememberd one such hitch...the bodies were still on the path.

His train of thought was soon interupted by the sound of a Den-Den Mushi ringing , grasping it firmly with his right hand Seargent Baris answered with his usual gravelly tone.

"What is it?"

"Sir, this is Scout Tower 21 a Naval Ship has been sighted around 50 Clicks from here."

With trademark grunt of acknowledgement the Seargent hung up the Den Den Mushi before a crooked smile emerged on his face, pushing past both Colton and Akira the Seargent signalled to a drummer that was located on a platform to the right of the Baris' tent. With one single strike of the drum, the Camp went deathly silent as the Seargent begun to make his speech, Baris was said to be the only member of his army that struck fear into the heart of Commading General Bosco.

"We are on a Amber Alert. Titan Fist is making his move, attacking the island...and were gonna be ready because she's gonna help us" roared Seargant Baris before pointing to Alexis with a crooked smile as he dragged her away from Akira and Colton by the back of her shirt to a chorus of roars and cheers.


Looking toward her Akira signalled for her to stay calm, as he realised this must be a bit much for a recruit but really she was the key piece of the plan. Nodding to Colton, the captain realised it was the perfect diversion.

[Docile]

Watching the situation unfold before him Colton's brain begun ticking away. Thinking about the entire situation in his head he started to think about the two opponent's they would face.

Feeling confident with his abilities and knowledge Colton watched as Akira gestured towards Alexis that the situation would be fine and she'd be safe.

Looking at Akira, Colton could tell they were both thinking the same thing. Not only how dangerous it could be for a seaman recruit to be a diversion for a possibly deadly pirate, but also how Alexis with her unique speech would be more than enough to keep all eyes on her whilst Akira & himself dealt with the real problems.

Their missions were as followed:
• Beat & Capture Briar
• Beat & Capture Bosco
• Get the flash drive
• Escape

[Vaetric]

Faaaaaaaaak. Her arms hurt from Colton squeezing them earlier due to his douchebaggery, she continued to be pushed around (or rather, dragged) by the bug eyed bastard. “Eva’ ‘eard of mannahs?” She asked as she was dragged away, noticing Akira’s signal, she took it to kick the man in the balls (And Akira) at the next opportunity. Though, she would disregard that stupid piece of advice in favour of becoming a key piece to the plan and lying through her teeth.

Well, as long as she needed to do stuff, she might as well talk like hell. “Y’see, they don’ pAy meh ‘enuff for theis shiz, n’ ah’ thooght it’d be roight noice tah’ get ovah’ ‘ere n’ get oot of’ theis ‘oniform, y’know? ‘Ah got conscrepted, Oi sweer!

---Alexis---

Within minutes the entire Camp had begun its preparations, Efficient, Effective, Enforcers was the motto of Seargent Baris' Men as they begun the distribution of weapons and the gates shut and were reinforced with planks of wood thicker than the skull of the man who commanded them. Meanwhile inside of the tent with the entrance shut,Baris was holding talks with his new Asset...Mary Horingold or so she was believed to be.

Stroking his temples at the constant rambling of Alexis, Baris slapped the Recruit around the face with an open hand sending her crashing down to the floor. "I grow weary of your petulant dribble.We don't have women in our army you're weak,emotions are a liability for your type, Now tell me about this attack Hayward is planning or I'll pluck your teeth like feathers...and belive me you don't want that ...love" said Baris mockingly as he impersonated her accent.

---Colton & Akira---

With the commotion and bustle it was rahter easy to slip out unnoticed from the ranks for Akira and Colton as they entered the streets of Barbarosa. Houses were desolate, destroyed it seemed no civilians were living on the island .

"The Palace is gonna be tricky to get into, the roof might be the best option. "

Approaching the Palace Akira couldn't help but grin there it stood, pristine as if it had been built yesterday, the marble of the houses surface polished from what itseemed every day. It was truly a marvel of modern architectual beauty but these feelings were soon absent as Akira reflected on the kind of man who owned it or stole it, through brutal methods which further backed up his morals for taking this man and his militia down once and for all.

The Palace was heavily armed and guarded just as Akira had predicted, Pairs of Guards stationed around the entire perimeter of the Mansion, tossing a pop green onto the floor as a Trampolia flower emerged Akira nodded to his subordinate.

"See you up there"

---Bosco & Briar---

"Holds every single Marine Profile of their Officers stationed in all of the Blues...including Hayward" said Briar with a grin as he unveiled the USB Stick and placed it into the palms of Bosco. At the very mention of the name Hayward , Bosco's face turned sour as he rolled the portable device between his thumb and forefinger .

"You've outdone yourself as per usual Briar" remarked the Commanding General before being interupted by the ringing of a Den Den Mushi behind him. Quelling the sound almost instantly by picking it up almost instantly, Bosco brought the Den Den Mushi to his ears.

"What Is It?"
