---

Having recently decided during recent events that they should not only track but outright pursue the assassin army that attacked Yotsuba Island marine Hq; Elisa and Syndra knew they needed sails and the man power to maintain a voyage of these sorts and thus they would attempt to locate the docks of the black market.  To do such Elisa and Syndra would split up as one went left and the other right along the coast line starting from Shelltown. “Right Syndra you search that way i search this way”.

While the two of them were searching for a ship on order to make their pursue it would become quite obvious for those who saw them split of their objective, and word would spread like wildfire throughout the town reaching multiple relevant people who would shortly decided to join them in their plans to attack the invaders from before. This would include two marines who battled side by side with them, the marine in the base they met the undead merchant, and a few civilians with nothing to do with their lives.

Elsewhere Elisa and Syndra had already became an actual target for Assassination with their life slowly being revealed to the current owner of the book “book of evolution and desire”. Thus to warships would be turning around from the assassins fleet to make a 2nd attack on the island and event that wouldn’t happen as the next grand fight would be at sea. To be continued….Syndra and Elisa.
---------

Syndra goes her way. Yury follows his owner. Some woman and children turn around tolook at the cute little bear. He does the usual attention. He is a adorable little bear afterall. Syndra kneels down or a moment and go with my hand through his hair. Yury makes some cute noises. I feed him some meat and give him some water before we contineau looking. While I am looking some marines and cintizens who heard the rumor ask me if they can help out. Syndra doesnt know for sure what to say but ELisa told her we need more people. I accept their request to help us. I tell them what we need and that ELisa is looking in the other direction. Syndra contineaus walking over the beach. Yury does play in the water and the man follow Syndra. Then I hear voices and I command everyoen to be quiet. I get low and sneak closer. I see a pirate ship. Their are 12 pirates and a captain. THey didnt notice us yet and I sign to fall back. We get back and when we are back at the harbor I ask for a paper and a pencil. I write a letterwith information about the discovery. I give it to Yury. He takes it between his teeth. I let him know todeliver it to Elisa. Yury runs away and it doesnt take alot of time before he finds Elisa. He rubs like a cute bear agaisnt her legg to get her attention. Giving her the letter with the information that Syndra found a ship and who the owners are.

Elisa had been travelling in her direction for some time and was starting to get a little impatient at her rotten luck in her task “argh….I hope Syndra is having better luck than Eye.”. Continuing along the coast a strange man stands before Elisa. The man would hand Elisa a fruit of sorts “Eat this fruit and your desires will become reality.” Suddenly the man was gone and a storm was clearly in the distance.


The Storm brewed on the cold horizon promising nothing but cold winds, gray skies and potentially even Lighting strikes. Yury shows up rubbing against Elisa leg with his message “That is fantastic Yury, lead the way”. Elis begins to follow Yury with the strange fruit in her hands and by habit decides to eat it “Eww that tasted disgusting”. Though unknowingly to Elisa she had just eaten what was now known as a devil fruit granting a great strength but unpleasant curse. Elisa arrived at syndra location with yury and the new friends Syndra had gained on her trip “Hey guys”.


The Approaching noon darkness and damping smelling air threatened to render this operation a failure as they needed to secure a place of shelter, thus they needed to secure the vessel they sought with due haste. Elisa would cast her eyes to the charcoal sky coming towards them, her attention held by a golden streak a crack in the cloud layer where the sun streamed through like water breaching through a dam; the rain was promised, the wind was coming but alas Elisa was ambitious this day “We will crush all them pirates, take their ship and get it and ourselves to safety “

Yury gives Elisa the message and makes some adorable cute bear noises. Elisa's excitement about the message also changed his mood a little. While Yury is leading ELisa back. Elisa eats some strange fruit. It did smell and look evil to him. WHen Elisa is done eating Yury is confused for a moment and stops walking. He sniffs on ELisa and jumps away from her. Her smell changed. Also did his instinct sign him that Elisa just got alot more powerfull. He is confused for a moment before he contineaus walking. Yury and Elisa join Syndra and the helpers.

Syndra then leads the grup to where she found the pirate ship. The air isstarting to get darker. We investigate the ship and where the guards are. We use the rocks to hide to stay un noticed. Elisa should we wait for the night and use the rain to sneak up on them? The rain will block their vision. Or we can swim around them and climb up the ship to attack them in the back? We can also just charge at them if you want. THey are with numbers but we are not alone eather. I think tis will be piece of cake. What do you say sis? While I wait for what Elisa thinks i order Yury to hide. I didnt want anything to happen to him. This was a little too dangerous for him. He was small and people could step on him. Yury does understands his lovely owner he loves so much. He nods at her to let her know he will stay safe.

Elisa replies to Syndra "No we move now; look at the storm it looks strong and thus we move now or not at all". Elisa pats Syndra on the back as she steps forward, "we will use the cover of the ocean to Swim onto the ship and strike, at which point we will port within the stone caves of Yotsuba Island; once the storm passes we will set sail". Elisa plan would seem logical in all ways and a really good strategy as the audience of Elisa and Syndra cheered quietly “Lets go, lets gettem”. Elisa takes two more steps forward diving of the cliff with the intention of using the ocean to swim expecting Syndra to be right behind her but events wouldn’t transcend in the ways she had predicted.


Once Elisa hit the ocean her body would lose a significant amount of strength… “Why can’t i swim, whats going on”. She couldn’t even move a finger as her body was slowly pulled to the bottom of the ocean, Elisa had just eaten a devil fruit which curses the user with the weakness of the ocean. If Elisa wouldn’t get help within the next two minutes she would surely die, and her body lost at sea. “Move stupid body; move move”. One minute would pass and Elisa would lose consciousness all while her body was starting to accept death thus is the way of devil fruit eaters. Yury could sense the danger Elisa was in the moment she hit the water and thus would start making loads of sounds in the attempt to inform those around him.

Once again Yury was the hero and savior of Elisa's life. He forgot about Syndra's order to stay hidden. He jumps in the water and dives under. Syndra noticed Elisa was gone and follows him. Yury grabs Elisa with his teeth. He uses his strenght to pull ELisa up but he is too weak. SHe was too heavy for the little bear. Syndra helps them out and grabs a holdon ELisa. Yury succeded to not get ELisa to drown further. With the help of Syndra, Elisa can be saved. Elisa is pulled back on the beach. Retreat for now! We go 20 meter back. THen Syndra lays Elisa onher side. One of the marines holds Elisa's head. Yury lays under her head. The Marine lays Elisa's head on top of Yury. Onthe soft hairs. Syndra then lays onher side behind Elisa. I wrap my arms around her and pressure her stomach. Meanwhiel I order a other marine to do mouth on mouth with Elisa. As a man of the sea he doesnt feel anything special. He puts his mouth on Elisa's. Together with the marine Syndra makes ELisa puke up the water.

When ELisa seems to be alright we stop. I look at Yury and ask him if he knows anything. He doesnt understand it eather. All he can let me know is that Syndra did eat something weird. Something that smelled evil and unknown. Syndra pats him on the head and feeds him alot of meat. When Elisa wakes up again Syndra smiles. Hey Elisa. You are lucky. Yury saved your life. You should thank him. He did let me know you ate something that is not normal. Can you tell me about it?

Elisa would awake with her strength starting to flow back into her "What happened?, why couldn't i swim. Elisa was extremely confused she had always been a good swimmer it didn't make sense "Was their a seaking". The storm approaching would come closer to the point it was nearly upon the Island. The Pirate crew had begun sailing around the Island to avoid the storm themselves while the civilians would speak convincing syndra and Elisa to return to town; as the safest place would be the basements.
"Guys the storm has grown closer, come with us to the basements beneath the town; you can't attack them anyway untill you work out the issue with yourself Elisa & and your friend Syndra". Elisa would agree as she was somewhat scared of what had just happen to herself scared her, never had shed faced such a situation of helpless and not able to explain even a moment of it.

The group would begin to move to the basement with 2 powerful stone doors in which a total of 10 civilians needed to help lift open; on entry they would find a strong stone room; quite large and spacious infect it could fit about 80 people relaxingly. The room would have storage area containing Food, drink entertainment, games and even old books with important information regarding the world we live in; one could eve be the key to knowing what had just happened to Elisa. Elisa would simply find a chair and doze off she was in fact quite tired.

Syndra looks over her shoulder. I can just see the flag of the pirate ship moving. Fromthat moment I knew we had to find them again after the storm but first things first. I get up on my feet. I help ELisa back on hers. Then the group starts running. Our new comrades lead us to safety. We get in a basement. This was not a normal basement. It did more look like a underground town under the town itself. THe villagers at the entrance do give all entering people some ood and a bottle with water. I grab Elisa's hand to not lose her in the crowded basement. Yury is picked up by me. Together we walk around and look for a place to sit down. Inside is a tavern with a bar keeper behind it. Syndra takes place on a chair near a round table. I look suprised around. Elisa takes a seat next to me and our people joined us around the tableI am glad we are safe but the bad news is that the pirates also moved their ship to hide. We have to find them again or look for a other ship to take. We have to start over sadly.

When Syndra threw the problem on the table the ground starts shaking. THe lights are flashing. It gets more quiet and the children run back to their parents to hide in their arms. The storm began. Now all we can do is sit it out.

The storm had begun to starts it assault on the shell town; no one would know how long it would take to truly pass over but alas it would not matter the entire island was prepared for such storm of this magnitude and thus none of the buildings would be damaged, the trees had been reinforced and if one's ship couldn’t make it through this it shouldn’t be on the ocean anyway. Elisa was now completely asleep so much so that she was snoring like a violin as deep within her nose her newfound devil fruit was cracking the normal snoring sound. One of the Civilians concerned about would start reading the dusty old books in the attempt to find a reason why one could not swim.


Meanwhile; Elisa had started dancing stealing Syndras drink of water in the process of starting yet she was still asleep. A few of the surrounding people would place their hands on their head *Facepalm* “Is she really dancing to her own snoring beats”. Yury was actually enjoying the beat and decides to join in with a 360 spinning slide and a backflip. Elisa would start talking in her sleep “COME GIVE ME YOUR ELECTRICITY...CAN YOU FEEL IT...CAN YOU DO IT”. “What is electricity”. Elisa kicks her right leg forward with pointed toes and a flexed calf muscle. Elisa the dark haired woman pivoted in a revolving whirl shape with precision and an accurate grace “Your my heartbeat, my silent drum, be free like a bird in the sky”. Elisa connects her hands together and places them on her heart and makes the action of her heart beating outwards, as she spins to the left and back. The non dancing civilians would be really surprised as Elisa could dance better asleep than when awake.

As they wait Elisa fell asleep. Syndra watches over her but to everyone's suprise she started acting strange. She stole my water. I make a attempt to get it back but its useless. Elisa was already a bit further. Snoring loud and dancing on her own beat. Yury jumps on the ground and starts dancing and make bear noises to add somethign extra to the snoring beat. Syndra wants to stofp themand put them to bed or something but she gives up onhtat idea. Elisa would just get up again. THe other people who first were a bit scared because of the storm were looking at the woman and the bear. Looking at this weird couple cheers the people up and changes the mood in the basement. Some people start clapping in the beat. Children who were hiding with their parents came out of their spot of safety. They started laughing again and joined them and started to dance.

It got even weirder when soem adults pulled out instruments and started playing. What first was a scary moment of silence now became a party. Some people started making snorring sounds and people started to dance. The bar tender is overthrown with work . People ordering beer and such. He starts sweating and really seems in need of some help. Syndra gets up fromher seat and gets behind the bar. THe man seems gratefull to get some help. He quickly explains how everything works and together they fight against the thirsty group of people.

The events in the basement had become quite the party even with the loud sounds of the storm overhead none seemed to care even one bit about it as they were having 2 much fun; somehow Elisa would end up having 2 bread sticks in her mouth holding it open; same for Yury who was dancing with Elisa. Three of the kids who were currently dancing decided to go help Syndra totally out of the goodness of their hearts or so they claimed; their true objective would be to secure some alcohol to find out what it taste like. “Oh syndra Id love to help you, can you lift me up to the bar” “Syndra me next lift me up” The 3rd kid was waiting for the bar tender & Syndra eyes to be turned with a creepy grin on his face*.


Elsewhere the pirates had managed to dock their ship in a nice slop in the islands coastline; with the storm in full affect water levels had risen enough for them to get it firmly into the cave safely additionally it would stop themselves from getting wet or worse from the storm without the need to leave their vessel. The pirates would all form a circle around 5 drums having their own forum of a party eating chicken meat; something they had just stole from the Island 2 days ago. “Guys we took their chicken, when this storm is gone we take THEIR WOMAN!”, one of the pirates gives the leader a dirty look “Okay and one Man, Happy”. She nods “rraahahahah” They all cheer.

Syndra helps the 2 children behind the bar so they can help out. Syndra pats them on their heads and shows them how to do it. THen a 3rd creepy looking kid comes over. Syndra doesnt trust him with the creepy face. She looks at the tender who doesnt realize it. Syndra doesnt make a move to help the kid. The bar tender makes his move to help the kid instead. WHen he does I grab him and lower myself to his level. I look him in the eyes and give him a creepy llook back. What ever evil deeds you are up to. Forget aboiut it alright ? Syndra removed the skin fromher robotic armwhile she is talking. SHe ten lays the hand on the heeck of the 3rd kid. He didnt know what happened and the robot arm scares him. His fae looks in shock at Syndra. He nods quickly andhis creepy face disapears.

The 5 people give the people their drinks. Syndra noties that the children are taking a little sip from every glass they fill. They just wanted tot try it out. Syndra didnt really boother about it and the tender didnt even seem to notie it. Meanwhile Yury and ELisa are dancing. THe party seems to have no ending. THe people do not even notie it whne the storm flies over and is gone.

The pirates do and get out of their cave. As the captain promised they move the ship to a plae to get off. THen they sneak to the town and searh. Their is no one captain !! What??!!! The town is empty like a ghost town Did they all die to the storm?The storms are common around here. I am sure they have a plae to hide underground. THen after searhing for it or a hour the pirates find it. THe loud noises do betray the villagers. THe porates open the door and rush inside with guns and swords. Take all the woman and a man !!! THe villagers are drunk but still have their senses and they hide. Elisa gets easily knocked out because she seems to be too far gone. The pirates grabs some woman. Syndra wants to help and fight but with Elisa out othe battle I feel i cant do much about this. THe captain, female pirate and the other 6pirats have hoosen their victems. THey leave the place. THe last2 pirates want to take Syndra & ELisa. Syndra grabs her chance. SHe punhes her own pirate int he face and grabs a bottle alcohol. I slam it on his head and use the broken bottle to stab the pirate multile times to kill him . Then she goes to the 2nd pirate. He is bend over ELisa and ready to grab her. Syndra is behind hima nd puts her arms around his neck. SHe then strengtens the grip and chockes the pirate to death. When I look aroudn I see Yury is gone too. She curses and calls his name but no reaction. I kneel down next to ELisa and wait for her to wake up. Elisa !!! Elisa wake up !! They have Yury help me !! They have my Yury

I do rub with my hand on my head where Elisa headbutted me. Its obvious it was a accident. I do not make a fuss about it. When I walk a bit backwards a creepy man is behind me. She looks at Einstein. I dont need a brainstar at all. She looks a bit angry at him. I want my dear Yury back. THe pirates took him from me so all I want is have him back so sorry but I am not interested in what you are suggesting. I didnt know what the man was talking about at all. She was too stressed out at the moment for losing Yury. I make some distance between me and him. I get to ELis ans help her get back on her feet.

A moment later I am standing outside. WIth me are ELisa, our grup and the 7 man who got their wifes taken from them and one woman who's man got stolen. THe little army arms themself with weapons. The storm and rain made the ground mud like. THanks to the rain I can see the footsteps of the pirates. We can easily follow them. We move carefully and not too fast. We dont want to run in to them to fast. Besides Elisa and Syndra do want to have their ship. We had to find that too.

After several hours the group finds the spot where the pirates are hiding. On the ship you can hear pirates laughing and singing and the sounds or crying woman. On the ship Syndra does see the female pirate who is dominating a man and also is playing with Yury because she thinks he is super cute. Yury struggles and doesnt seem to like it. Syndra gets furious and some man grab Syndra to keep her from rushing in on the pirates to save her friend Yury.
