"We're all caged song birds, waiting for someone to hear our sound"

As the dust cleared, Junbei took a seat upon the carcass of the former head of the Wingless movement, Ivan. The dust funneled towards the sky, the area clearing up to reveal the damage caused to the terrain, backtracking towards his Captain’s position, Nico was approaching in a distance towards the sacked encampment. Raven had regained consciousness, though battered, she’d take Chance onto her back, and through sheer willpower alone, was she able to keep up with Nico’s pace. “Are you sure you don’t want me to carry you like before, Mademoiselle?” Nico asked, ruffling through his pockets for a cigarette.

“No thank you. We need to find your Captain, immediately.” Raven stated. “Agreed.” Nico responded, finding a cigarette and with much delight, he placed the cylindrical tobacco stick against the girth of his lips, igniting it’s body, suctioning in the carbon monoxide with the muscle memory present in his jaws. After a few moments, the trio arrived, to see the sight of the Captain sitting atop the dead body of Ivan. However, the flat jungle terrain they had been traversing against had come to an end, the only thing that stood before them was a ninety foot ditch. “Your one crazy bastard… Junbei.” Nico exclaimed, sliding into the ditch downwards to his Captain. “I think I went a bit overboard this time… honestly.” Junbei stated grinning. Entering into range of his Haki, in the distance about 300 Meters descending from the North West, a winged force approached towards their current location.

“Hehe… Looks like we have some more company arriving…” Junbei stated grinning, reaching from his back for his Blitz Sticks. “Junbei… Listen to me. I need you to listen to what I’m about to tell you.” Raven stated. “The man who leads the Shandia is a man by the name of Sango… He’s not like any other Winged Warrior you’ve faced so far. If two of you meet, one of you shall surely perish.” Raven stated, taking into account both Junbei and Sango’s nature. “I want to meet him… This Sango.” Junbei responded moments after the woman’s warning. “It’s about time I end this discrimination against the Wingless. After hearing all sides of the story, I’ve pretty much learned Prometheus is behind all of this… However, he’s not the only problem. The problem are the Wingless on a whole. Your people for the most part have two general conflicting ideals of the Wingless. One, that were monsters from the blues who come to raid Skypiea. Two, were playthings for Nobles to own. I’m going to end these two conceptions. I’ve eliminated the Wingless HQ, they’ll scatter with no head to lead them now. My second problem is beating into these Nobles heads that not all Wingless are monsters. I don’t want to abolish the Human Consensus Act… My conclusion is that it should be re-written to target criminal humans and not all humans. War is a casualty of living on these seas, even long after I left, more Wingless can spring up. Keeping slaves only harbors hate, this creates a cycle.” Junbei stated.

“I’m going to-” the man’s words left a shake in Raven’s soul. “Junbei… If you do that… you’ll become an enemy of every Winged…” Raven stated. “It’s my condition. I’ll return here one day… If no fit God is crowned, I’ll do as stated prior.” Junbei concluded. The Shandia arrived, hovering above the crater that now contained the bodies of several Wingless that Junbei had decimated.

“They’re all Wingless.” one of the Shandia warriors uttered in fear. “One man caused all of this damage… Who in the world is this child?” another warrior asked, staring intensely at the redhead below him. Hovering to the sky, Junbei was now eye-level with the army, who startled by his hovering motion, drew their fire guns and aim it towards the male. “I have no need to fight you. I want to meet your leader Sango.” Junbei stated. “How do you know our chief’s name, Wingless!?” one of the soldier’s shouted. Deciding to tell a little lie to mess with the warriors, “I’m a God from the Blue Dwellers, Junbei Von Echo.” Junbei stated, chuckling slightly. “A God… You Dweller’s serve a God… does that mean you're responsible for the Wingless coming here to Skypiea!?” the Winged warrior shouted.

“The Land is governed by many foolish ‘Gods’ and men don’t adhere our commands… They live free.” Junbei simply responded. “I see…” one of the Shandia responded. “Well… I’m sorry, God Echo… I can’t permit you to see my leader after witnessing this carnage below.” the Shandian warrior responding, putting away his gun to draw his sword. Charging his tonfa with electricity, Junbei danced through the pack of warriors, slamming his tonfa into the five of the men’s throat, sending them plummeting towards the ground from paralysis. Surrounding the man, the men opened fire with their fire guns, the circular trap consisted of ten warriors. Hovering upwards, the bullets shot each of the warriors who opened arms against the Songbird, his body now missing from the fray.

Dashing into another pack of twenty, in a dart like fashion, from a diagonal descent, the moment the man was arced in the center of the pack, he stopped his motion, released a series of continuous high frequency waves at 180 decibels which crippled the warriors hearing, causing them to drop their guns, clutching at their ears as their ear tissue perished. As the twenty warriors lost consciousness and fell towards the ground, a voice in the distance shouted, “Enough!” approaching at incredible speeds. Tattered and covered in wounds, Shikota, carrying Paulie on his shoulder managed to catch up to the attacking force. “If I didn’t stand a chance… None of you will. Stand down.” Shikota commanded. “What was the order?” Shikota inquired. “The boss… wanted to meet him but surely we can’t!-” the man’s statement was interrupted by Shikota’s glare. “Are you doubting Sango’s ability? This man struggle to take on Paulie and myself… Him being able to fight Sango one on one… Impossible.” Shikota stated with utmost pride. “Oh?” Junbei inquired grinning. “I shall lead you there myself, Redhead.” Shikota stated. Grinning, “Liar. I can feel your heart trembling… You’re afraid… that your leader will suffer the same fate… However, mixed within those emotions of yours are truths… How strong is this Sango?” Junbei thought.

"We're all caged song birds, waiting for someone to hear our sound"

After hours of travel, Shikota, Paulie, Junbei, Nico, Raven and Chance arrived at the Shandia camp, below God's encampment up the beanstalk. The drums echoed with immense sound, as if a ritual was about to commence. His eyes opened wide, as his Haki picked up a familiar aura within scope, tears filled the Captain's eyes which he wiped quickly to avoid showing any emotion in a hostage type situation. "Jade's alive." Junbei thought. "Rishi Rishi." the man declared unbeknownst to those who weren't paying attention. Arriving at the center of the village, the Army of Winged, carried the bodies of the four hundred and two Wingless who had been destroyed from Junbei's last onslaught. Sitting on a throne, ten meters between the Songbird's who had just been reunited after being ushered towards the main encirclement of almost three hundred of Shandia men. "Hoho... You made it, Junbei." Juju announced. "Rishi Rishi... I had a little conversation with the Wingless Captain." Junbei said grinning. As the bodies of the slave traders plastered the floor, a slight grin appeared on the face of Sango. "I guess the rats had a little scuffle." Sango said with dead eyes. Turning towards Sango, the raging bonfire separating the two, the men made eye contact, "If these were the weaklings stealing your people... And I defeated them... You called us rats?" Junbei said grinning. "Then what does that make you, an ant?" Junbei stated glaring at Sango. The death stares that exchanged between Sango and Junbei was enough to kill the average man. Kidnapping Jade and Charlotte, raiding the Dutchman and the racist slurs that came from the Winged mouth constantly about the Blue Dwellers had all pissed Junbei off on immense levels.

"Enough Sango!" Juju shouted. "This child has nothing to do with your disdain for the Wingless. It's bad enough that you've been allowing the Pillars to practice reverse trafficking in your turf!? Have you lost your mind!?" Juju shouted, flapping his wings in anger. "Oshi Oshi... I'm sorry Old Man. I don't exactly value these fools lives. I am crazy. Since Isabella's death my passion to kill Blue Dwellers has burned vibrantly since." Sango retorted angrily. Resting his hands against his tonfa, "I told you Juju. He won't listen unless it's through violence. Why don't you step off that throne and I show you whose inferior... Whose truly going to be hunted?" Junbei said grinning, spinning his Blitz Sticks in hand. Snapping his fingers, one hundred soldiers stepped forward, lances, swords and guns in hand. "I don't have to dirty my hands with either of you... A rogue Noble and a big mouth Wingless brat. Kill them all. It's seven to you four hundred of us. You'll die before even reaching me." Sango said smiling.

"We're all caged song birds, waiting for someone to hear our sound"

Removing his Blitz Sticks from his holster, the Captain began to spin the tonfa in his hand to maintain focus on the situation before him. Swinging his tonfa with immense precision and force, the Songbird released a small tornado which grew gradually, spinning into a giant Dustnado five by five meter in length, lifting up the Shandia as it advanced send them spiraling outwards in a rapid motion. Breaking into the pack, Juju began to slam his fists into the Shandia's jaw, causing him to drop his spear. Retrieving the spear, Juju ripped into the back, wiping out another ten soldiers to match the quota of Junbei's dustnado. Pressing his back's against Jade, Junbei began to siphon electricity into his Blitz Sticks. "Rishi Rishi... It's nice seeing you again Jade. I thought you were a goner when your jacket washed up with Charlotte." Junbei exclaimed grinning. "Sorry it had to be in these conditions... but don't worry... Let's wrap this up quickly. I think Sango is waiting for us." Junbei said grinning.

Breaking away from Jade, Junbei dashed into the back, slowly progressing until obtaining the speed of sound. Releasing low frequency waves as he advanced three meters at a time in his strides, after fifth stride, he'd made contact with the warriors within the Shandia tribe. The men broke away taking to the air, however, Junbei countered by taking flight, using his soundwaves to launch him into the air, about five meters, slamming his tonfa against three of the now fifty warriors that took flight to fire at Junbei from the skies. Taking their fire guns, the forty-five marksman opened fire against Junbei's body, each fire shell passing through the sound logia as he etched closer. After encircling himself among the pack, the Captain grinned, releasing one quick pulsation which encompassed fifteen meters, the shockwave breaking not only the bones but the eardrums of all victims within range, now fifteen meters above the ground. If this attack was uncontested, several of the warriors would fall from the sky, to the ground below. Watching the conflict, Sango's eyes analysed all of the Songbird's movements. "He's a sloppy fighter at first glance... but his movements are actually quite graceful. I understand why they call him the Songbird." Sango stated, sitting in his throne grinning.

"We're all caged song birds, waiting for someone to hear our sound"

As the soundwaves riddled the flying Shandia’s bodies, the tribe site became plastered with the bodies of the injured warriors. Decompressing from the air as Jade finished off his pack, the pirate grinned at his right hand man’s movements. “You’ve gotten better Jade.” Junbei grinned announcing. Clapping his hands in pure amusement, the leader of the pack, Sango, had seen enough. “To take out my men as if they were just fodder.. You’ve chosen quite the man to follow this time around Juju.” Sango exclaimed, clutching his fist, creating a glossy tint on its exterior, metallic like. “I’m the one who taught Shikota how to fight. However, I wasn’t blessed with Hardening Mantra like he was.” Sango exclaimed. “Before this goes any further Sango… Junbei had something you must hear. It’s about Isabella.” Juju commented.

Moments seemed to pass slower as Junbei unveiled the truth about Isabella’s death and Prometheus role in the whole scheme of things. The man froze in silence, not in anger, no that word couldn’t convey the burning pit that churned in Sango’s stomach. Stepping forward from her shadowing position, Misa had heard enough. “Sango… Surely you won’t trust the word of this Wingless human?” Misa inquired. Dropping to his knees, Sango was in disbelief. Using his mantra, he’d gained the ability to become a human polygraph for human emotions and every word uttered by Junbei contained no ill will or deceit. Turning towards Jade, Junbei rested his hand on his Vice Captain’s shoulder, “It’s nice to have you back. Your eyes they seem clearer. Just what in the world have you been doing in Upper Yard?” Junbei inquired, now wrapping his arm around the man’s neck for a playful head rub. Tears flew from the Songbirds eyes, “I’m sorry I wasn’t strong enough to protect you… Jade.” Junbei muffled holding back the waterfall of tears which were only slowly leaking. “I promise you..
We’ll only get stronger from here.” Junbei announced.

"We're all caged song birds, waiting for someone to hear our sound"

“I’ve heard enough.” Misa said drawing two pistols from her leg holsters. Whistling an army of two-hundred and fifty Shandias swarmed armed. “Before this happens… I have an offer to make. Let me take the Wingless I deafened and leave Skypiea. Now that I’ve gotten my crew back together the only thing left for me here is to talk with the God of this place.” Junbei announced grinning. “You're so disrespectful Red Head. The only ones allowed to keep council with God are the Pillars, the noble family and our chief Sango! Boss… Have a seat, I’ll eliminate these Songbirds.” Misa declared spinning the trigger guard of the pistol around her finger like a cowgirl. Tipping her cowboy hat upwards, the woman revealed her golden blue eyes which held a level of ferocity to them.

Spinning around the spear nested in his hand, Juju turned to Junbei and Jade. “Hoho… she’s the one of the best gunslingers in all of the Sky Kingdoms. Be careful.” Juju informed, playing with his beard using his unoccupied hand. Grinning, “Jade. You think you can handle her?” the Songbird Captain announced turning his attention towards the army. “I’m pretty sure we can handle the army by ourselves but if I have to fight her and Sango… I’ll be running on empty for the fight ahead. But don’t worry I’ll provide support… I got the perfect song for occasions like this.” Junbei announced grinning. “Please don’t underestimate me Blue Dweller.” Misa said licking her lips. “It is true I am Sango’s most trusted aide… but that brat is nowhere near my level… I’d probably have a better time fighting the oldman. How about it Cheerful Oni-” Misa’s cocky statement was met by Junbei’s enormous chuckle, loud and boisterous in nature. “Rishi Rishi… I wouldn’t underestimate Jade if I were you. Afterall… If I am the sun of this crew… He’d be the moon.” Junbei exclaimed grinning.
