AH! Chapter 19 has Blayze's name mispelled! The Y is gone! Hey... didn't people usually forget to type in the Y at NT?

Edit: I would say.. go with the comedy. I think the crew members need some quality time to get some character development... maybe a few small backstories ( or flashbacks)?

[Blayze]

O_O

*checks*

IT'S TRUE! THE 'Y' IS GOOOONE!

And yes, it did always seem to occur back then...

Oh dear... I never thought that I would find myself in a "canon" pairing. Can't possibly complain when it's a lady as nice as Ash.

Damn the 3,500 miles (over 5,600km) that separate us.

I liked the chapter, Hoku! Whoo for airships! I wonder what everyones' weaknesses are in the comedy arc?

Chatper 21: Heaven & Earth
Subtitle: Home Sweet Home, Bass lives!!!

Last night's party must have went on into the morning, because I woke up in my room and didn't remember a single thing. I assumed either Blayze or Yoko dragged me back to my room after I passed out. The last thing I remember was being dragged to that monster of a Karaoke machine.

"Heh, twas a good night that it was." I spoke to myself.

Just then my door opened and Yoko came walking in unsuspectingly.

"You're awake Dai-syon ... MEEEP!" And she quickly turned around to face the door, her face was red. "Uh-um ..."

"You should try knocking before you enter. Was it you who brought me back here?" I chuckled at my apprentices actions.

"Y-yes, sir! You sang really good last night sir!" She spoke firmly.

"I did? Yes, I did didn't I. Well, report." I went into the shower and she simply followed me standing outside the door not looking and gave the report.

"Arashi says that we're almost at H&E. We should be arriving today, also a letter came from bird. It's from Bass sir."

I kept on listening as I washed myself. "Really!? Is he alive and well?"

"Yes sir. He says he got you're letter from a while ago and is already at H&E awaiting our arrival. He also apologizes for disappearing for such a while ago, his family was moving, so I went with them for that short time."

"Good. I'm glad he found his way ..." I got out of the shower to dry off, and began to dress myself. "... and that we'll be seeing him shortly. Good work, Yoko. Dismissed."

She tapped her feet and saluted, while I was putting my overcoat on and buttoning my jacket up. Before she closed the door, I told her-

"Oh and thank you."

She happily smiled back and closed the door behind her. Bass was alive and well waiting for us at H&E already. I'm glad that he had gotten my message. What adventures and tales we had to tell him, and now he would join us aboard the NaruSaku Mk.II. I finished buttoning up my overcoat and made my way to the main deck. The Airship was still moving at high speeds and we were making good time. I moved over to Arashi, who saluted me and went back to piloting the ship.

"Let us cut upon the sea the rest of the way, Arashi!" I told him.

"Yo-kai!" (Roger!)

He set the control panel to "sea mode" and the ship began to slowly hover its way down. I picked up the intercom and made an announcement to my crew.

"All hands. Brace, we're going back to sea level, and we'll sail the rest of the way to H&E!"

The ship slowly floated down back onto the water, and stood afloat once again. The sails withdrew from their storage and the mast stop spinning and returned back to it's normal position. We tied off the sails again to the ship and the wind began to pick up. Now we were back to normal ocean sailing. The fresh spray of the sea upon our faces, the open air filling our lungs. And we continued on our course towards H&E.

Alpha went back to her crow's nest, and kept a good look out for land. After a few more hours of sailing she spotted something and quickly shouted-

"LAAAND HOOOO!!!"

Everyone rushed over to the head of the ship and looked dead ahead to see beautiful, beautiful green land! Blayze handed me a telescope and I viewed ahead to check upon our home. Everything was just as I left it, still in good condition and perfect shape. Next I vered over to the docks to see a small boat already in dock. It must have been Bass' since he was the only other one who knew about it before hand. I sighed in relief, and then looked all around as everyone wasn't at their stations.

"COME ON YOU DOGS! Back to your posts! We haven't reached land just yet!" I barked out.

Everyone quickly moved back to their posts and we were getting closer to home. The time was upon us, we were nearly there and we could almost taste the new found freedoms we would soon have!

I still stood out on the head of the boat, just watching as we were getting closer and closer! It was Yoko again who came out ot bring be back inside again.

"Are we finally home, dai-syon?"

"Yes, we are home at last!"

---

In less than a few hours were docked at the small port I had built for us. Bass was already waiting for us and helped bring in the ship to pier. We tied off the ship and everyone excitedly got off. We were all overjoyed to finally reach H&E along with seeing Bass with us again! We told him all about our adventures and the events that had happened thus far. After the where's and the how's, I stood atop a box and gave the welcoming speech.

"Friends! We've encountered The Flood! N***H***! S***S***! And many countless verbal battles! But now! We have a home of our own. A place where we can stay and rely on as a stable home. A place where we can share our knowledge and ways with others. We are NaruSaku and we are finally FREE!"

"HAIL! HAIL! HAIL!" Everyone cheered and raised their fists into the air.

"Here we can talk about anything we wish, and have many nightless discussion over what we want! And we won't have to worry about people calling us prejudice, or persecuting us for our beliefs! We do owe much gratitude to Smiter, who has funded us and contributed greatly for our cause!"

"HAIL SMITER! First Mate!"

"But alas our journey is NOT at an end! We will continue to travel back to NT AND to other places to spread word of our haven! Spread word to all other believers and give note that there IS a place for them to go to without worry of dislike or hatred! Spread word to others so that we too may become an even larger and greater village!"

"YAAARRRRR!"

"Here we will start a new home for the NaruSaku! Here we are FREE! NOW WHAT SAY YOU!?"

"AYE!"

"WHAT SAY YOU ALL!?"

"AYE!"

I immediately thrusted my fist into the air with pride and joy, feeling the energy rising inside of me. "YAAARRR!!!"

"YAAAAAAARRRRRR!!!"

This was only the beginning. The beginning of another great adventure for all of us. With a main Headquarters to pinpoint to, we could travel freely to any where and any place we chose! Soon, we would return to NT ... One Last Time.

To Be Continued.

Chapter 22: En Route to Port NT
Subtitle: "OMG!!! WE HAVE TO GO!!!"

We stayed in H&E for a few more days so that everyone got accustomed to the new settings. Just about everything was NaruSaku related, and all we did was talk about NaruSaku. We fixed up some more areas of the town, so there would be a small marketplace, as well as a Political and Arts section. We've also implemented a hentai section, but it was still closed for construction. Everyone made themselves at home and found their own place to stay, but it was all pretty much in the same apartment/condo complex. In the short time we stayed there, a few more others had returned to us and found their way to H&E. Mainly Shinyu, Bryon, even DeathWorks found his way eventually.

Soon it was time to return to NT and see if there were any people we could bring back with us. We prepared the NaruSaku Mk.II for the journey back to NT. This time, Bass would come with us on the return trip, while the others who just arrived would hold the fort. We set sail back to NT the following day and made good speed back to our surrogate home.

A few days out into sea, Alpha spotted something glittering out in the middle of the ocean. She sent our falcon over to retrieve it and handed her a message in a bottle. Blayze had finished his daily weapons check, and coincidentally was topside when Alpha came down to report the message. Naturally Blayze's curiousity got to him and they opened the bottle before reporting to me.

"Oy! Whatchu got there Alpha-chan!" Blayze eagerly asked.

"I spotted it glittering in the middle of the no where, and sent the falcon to retrive it for me. And I was about to report it to the Captain." She replied.

Blayze took a look at it and saw that the message inside looked like a small poster or some type of an ad. He was going to open the bottle as Alpha pulled it away from him.

"Aww come on! I'm sure it's not THAT important! Let's just check it so it's not something stupid or some kind of trap for the Captain that's all!" Blayze had a good point as well, but they still should have reported it to me.

Alpha gave into her curiousity, and they both opened the bottle. He held the bottle upside down and started to hit it. Alpha held her hands out so she could catch it. After a good minute or two, the paper finally fell out. The both unraveled it and revealed what it had to say ...

"Sha ... Sharon Apple? Sharon Apple? Who's that? Ne? Blayze-kun?" Alpha confusedly asked and then looked at a petrified Blayze. "Oy, Blayze-kun? Blayze? Heellloooo???"

Blayze was in complete shock at what they had just found. It was an advertisement for a Sharon Apple concert at Eden, performing live. This was either an omen or curse. After shock moment passed, next came panic ...

"Dear God! We have to GET RID OF THIS! NOW!!!" He began to speak in a full panic.

Alpha still confused on why Blayze was acting up all of a sudden, tried to calm him down. "What? What's going on? Why are you panicking all of a sudden!? OY BLAYZE-KUN!?"

*WHOMP*

And she finally stomped him with her MegaTon Hammer to stop him from running around like a mad man.

"What the hell is the matter with you!? It's just a concert poster!" She exclaimed at him.

He tried to regain his composure and tried to explain. "No, you don't understand. YOU - CANNOT - LET - THE - CAPTAIN - SEE THIS!"

He was nearly shaking her by the shoulders with a very desperate look upon his face. She still didn't grasp why, but simply understood his words. I believe it was around this time that I made my drop on them.

"Can't show me what?" I simply said with a curious smile.

Both of them froze like statues, they were both as pale as ghosts with their hands in the air. While Alpha had the flyer in her hand, they didn't move because of my sudden appearance.

"Oh! What's that in your hand Alpha? May I see?" I simply asked with a quiet smile on my face.

Both of them still not moving, I simply reached up and took the paper from her petrified hands. I looked at the flyer and read ...

[Performing @ Eden Square, Eden! Sharon Apple LIVE!]

Almost instantly my eyes opened wide and my jaw nearly dropped to the floor! I was overflowing with one new passion. I immediately grabbed the nearest intercom and made my SUPER announcement:

"ARASHI! SET COURSE FOR EDEN, FULL SPEED! AETHOS! I NEED FULL POWER, 110%!"

"Aye aye, Captain!" Arashi responded.

Aethos on the other hand couldn't beleive this order. "But-but Captain, the engine may explode if even at 100%!"

I repeated myself. "ONE-HUNDRED & TEN PERCENT!"

Aethos sighed in disbelief, but did his best to run the engine at 110% ... if it was even possible. I enthusastically marched my way off back to the bridge room, chanting to myself. "Sha-ron Ap-ple! Sha-ron Ap-ple! Sha-ron Ap-ple ..."

After I had left, Alpha and Blayze finally came back to their senses and realized what had just happened. Blayze fell to his knees and shook his head in complete and utter disbelief. Alpha unsure of what to make of what happened pretty much got why Blayze was so afraid of.

"It's not so bad, I guess. Captain needs to be a fanboy of someone, I'm just glad it's this singer." She nodded her head.

"You don't understand. He's a RABID Sharon Apple FANBOY! Ever since we were growing up, he would talk NONSTOP and do ANYTHING out of his way just to go to her concerts and buy her fangear." He explained gravely. "And now that he's got his own ship with a crew to man it ... guess where we're going."

"Eden?" Alpha answered.

Blayze got up from where he was, and shook his head still in disbelief. "Yeah. Eden, which is COMPLETELY OUT OF THE WAY BACK TO NT!?"

Alpha completely flipped. "NANI!?"

And so we changed course to Eden, the emerald city of the sea. Known for the beautiful forest life and port city activity around there. Many famous people came from there, well only one that I know of, which was Sharon Apple. Hell she herself isn't even a real person! The first Virtual Idol turned into a real popstar about a few years ago. Her producer Myung was a famous local singer from the main highschool in Eden. Some say that Sharon Apple is like a drug, impriting such an addiction that her music almost touches your whole body. I for one was addicted to her and her music. And nothing was going to stop me from attending her concert live!

We traveled for about three long days non-stop. I spent those three days sleepless, when Arashi went to rest I took the wheel and kept us sailing towards Eden. Everyday I was eagerly awaiting to arrive at the port of Eden, since the concert was in five days. On the fifth day we were almost a day away form Eden, when suddenly ...

"SHIP! DEAD AHEAD! CAPTAIN!!! WE'VE GOT COMPANY!!!" Alpha immediately spotted another ship heading in our path, coming at full speed.

I stepped up to the window of the bridge and looked out the window with my telescope in hand. It was fairly dark, but I could make out the sails. Blue and Red ... It was THE S***S***! Somehow they must have spotted us and were waiting for us at Eden! It was a bloody trap! I quickly got the intercom system up and made my announcement:

"Friends! Eden is just a few miles to shore, I can see the concert floodlights flashing in the sky. But we've got some company in the way. It's the S***S***." I paused so that they could take in this news, then continued. "If it's a FIGHT THEY WANT! THEN IT'S A FIGHT THEY'LL GET! ALL HANDS! Perpare for battle."

Everyone from their stations felt a new rush of adrenaline and gave their battle crys! "YAAAAARRRR!!!"

"Aethos, load the guns on the starboard (right) side! Ash, Smiter, and Blayze prepare for boarding. Everyone else, protect the ship at all costs. We will make it to land, and we WILL definately make that concert in time!"

Everyone did as they told, Aethos quickly used the multi-cannon loading system the N***H***'s installed into the ship, which was really handly. Arashi kept our course ready, but slowed down our pace so that we may MEET our foes! Smiter, Ash, and Blayze met me and Yoko on top side. We were getting ready to board their ship and strike at them, while Arashi, Aethos, UN, Bass, and Alpha would try and defend our ship. The distance grew shorter as our ships were coming side to side!

We looked over and saw that we were ridiculously outnumbered, but we didn't care! Our adrenaline was building up so quickly that we all felt invincible! As our ships came side to side on our starboard and their port (left) side, we saw our foes and everyone roared at each other!

"YAAARRRRR!!!!" - "YO HOOOO!!!!" - "RRAAARRRRR!!!!"

And finally as our ships were parallel, the tension built before I both sides shouted-

"FIRE!" - "FIRE!"

*BOOM BOOM - BOOM BOOM - BOOM BOOM - BOOM BOOM*

Cannon's firing into each other's ship and everything went into pure chaos! We all had our weapons drawn forth, and that's when the the S***S***s began to swing over and board us! Ash pulled forth her dual pistols and began shooting them out of the air, while Smiter cut down any of them who made it overboard! But we could only keep it up before we were overwhelmed. Soon they made it aboard our ship! Alpha came down from her post and fought off as many as she could! Bass came topside also, he had a dual steel whips on him and fought off at least twenty men at once!

These pirates were fierce in combat as they are rabid fanboys/girls! As we were holding our own, it was time to strike back! Ash called for her sister and she stood on a plank with one gun held to her face, and the other behind her back.

"Alpha!" She called out to her sister.

"HAI ONEE-SAMA!" She flew across from where she was and with her Hammer she stomped on the plank LAUNCHING HER sister into the air across the water and over onto the S***S** Ship! As Ash was in midair, she almost did an acrobatic spin shooting rapidly into the masses of the enemy! Then she fell dead center into a circle of the enemy. She made an almost angelic landing, unloading her empty clips and gracefully reloading from her belt like in Tomb Raider. She stayed in a crouched pose and slowly gazed at her opponents. Just before they all charged at her, it was like she went into a bullet time mode, and in an instant she did a multi-surround shot like from Equillibrium, left-right-back-front-diagonal-front-back-right-left, taking out everyone and thing within her radius with a single shot to each person! When she finished her entire clip, she went into a pose and emptied her empty clips yet again. That put a small intimidation into the enemy.

Next it was Smiter's turn to go, he chose to do the traditional swing over to the other side! So he climbed up the mast slightly and swung himself from one side over to the other, with his sword drawn forth! As he made his landing, he cut down several foes with a single swipe! He moved like a cat moving from one target to the next striking each one down with a single blow! I could tell his skill had improved from we fought, and he had been training harder! He struck each and every foe with such a grace that there wasn't even a blood splatter or spray! He gave them quick deaths, maybe not painless, but quick deaths!

As he and Ash were holding their own, it was Blayze's turn to work his part of the plan! He also swung over to the other side of the ship, but just short of missing it! The enemy looked as they saw him fall into the water, but there was no splash! Blayze had purposely missed to slip into their cannon openings! Now he would work his "magic" from the inside! Setting explosives from the inside while fending off the inside guards!

I stood there on the starboard side of the NaruSaku Mk.II with Yoko by my side cutting down anyone who came near us, watching as my crew did their chaos. Since they were overwhelming us, some of them got inside our own boat, but I wasn't worried at all.

Meanwhile in the galley of the boat, UN and his wife were prepare food for after the battle, when suddenly the door way bursted open and about ten S***S*** pirates came in and saw him. UN simply continued cutting the vegetables, and as they charged at him and his wife, SINGLE-Handedly he threw his stilettos (thin throwing knives) rapidly at each target, dispatching all of them! Except for one that got hold of his wife as a hostage. This got UN's ATTENTION. As the S***S*** held a knife to her throat, she didn't struggle at all. But simply looked calmly at her husband, who cleaned off his butcher knife, and looked directly at his wife. She silently nodded, and he nodded back at her, then with an instand UN threw his butcher knife into the pirate's head who was now stuck to the door behind him. UN went to his wife's safety, then pulled the butcher knife out from the back of the door & the skull of the pirate, cleaned it, and they continued to go about their business.

Below deck, in the engine/storage room, Aethos was trying to reload the cannons for a second fire, but the reloading mechanism was jammed. Just then the main door for the engine room bursted open and there were at least ten to twenty men upon him. Aethos had a GREAT GRIN upon his face and drew forth his dual daggers, shouting in a bloodlust-

"OH YEEEAAAH!!! COME ON! COME GET SOME!"

And instantly the door behind the S***S*** pirates closed, and the lights went out. All that could be heard were screams of horror and death as Aethos cut down each and everyone one of them in the darkness.

Inside the main bridge room, Arashi was guarding the controls. The doorway was being rammed into, but it was tightly secured. Suddenly the window in front of him was smashed through, and three pirates came! He quickly held up his Navy Badge and shouted-

"GOYO!" (Police/Navy!)

The pirates froze for two seconds at his words, which was their fatal mistake. In a flash, Arashi slashed through them all in a smooth stroke! He then looked at his badge, and laughed at the pirates.

"Oh, well look at that, my badge is expired."

The bridge door bursted open and he charged out at them cutting down anyone who entered the bridge room! Back on top side, Ash and Smiter were being a little overwhelmed and Alpha saw her dear sister in trouble! So she rushed over to the plank, and called for Bass who was fairly open.

"Bass! Launch me now!" She exclaimed.

Bass quickly ran over and did an acrobatic backflip from the railing onto the board, then as he landed at the same time he took hold of Alpha's arm as if to give momentum and threw her over to the other side! It was one wicked ass move, I had to hand it to Bass! As Alpha flew through the air, she drop kicked into a pile of S***S***s! Then they all surrounded her, and began to laugh as they saw their opponent was just a girl. But then Alpha drew forth her MEGATON HAMMER, and whipped it all around with ONE HAND as if it was as light as a feather! Then slammed it into the deck of the ship single-handedly that made the entire S***S*** ship bob up and down! That invoked MAJOR fear and disbelief into their hearts as they stood there in shock. Alpha had such an evil grin upon her face that all she said next was-

"Boo!"

And they all ran away from her as she charged after them flailing her hammer behind her! We were winning on our side, most of the S***S*** pirates were trying to escape back to their ship, Bass getting a few more body counts as some were retreating. Soon it was almost my turn to board the ship. I placed a board across both ships so that I could walk across, and Yoko followed behind me. I held my katana behind my back so that it was semi showing, but not entirely. Just then a group of five S***S*** confronted me, and knew who I was.

"It's HIM! The Captain of the NaruSaku!" - "If we kill him, we'll all be famous!" - "It's just one man! Let's get em!"

I simply stood there facing them, and lifted my free hand towards them. Then I simply waved my hand at them and began to count down.

"Go." (5)

And the closest one to me was cut down to shreds in an instant! No one had saw what had done it or how it was done. They looked in major disbelief that with a wave of my hand that man was cut down like paper. Then the next came at me!

"Yon." (4)

And he was cut down in a most brutal way, both of his arms disappeared from his sides like twigs broken or cut off! Blood sprayed all over where he standing and he fell screaming.

"It's JUST ONE MAN! KILL HIM!" Then the third and second came at me!

"San, Ni!" (3, 2)

It looked as if their swords were instantly broken and each other's ends impaled each other in a flash. A look of pure disbelief and fear was no on the last man. I started to move slowly towards him, taking only two steps before he tried to run away from me. I made an open palm and thrusted at him.

"IPPON!" (Strike!)

And before the man get away, he was stabbed through the chest. He looked down and saw a short blade sticking out from his chest through his heart. It was a wakazashi. He then slowly twitched his head back to see how he was killed, more like whom it was. And to his surprise it was a young girl with a stern face. When he looked directly at her, she thrusted the blade all the way to the hilt, and quickly drew back her blade to face me, sending a small splat of blood into my open palm and I closed my fist. She held her face down to her feet, not looking up. I walked over to her slowly, and lifted her head gracefully with my finger upon her chin. She looked at me with open eyes, and I brushed her hair back to clear her forehead. Then I took my thumb and marked upon her forehead the sign of death in blood. Then I gently drew bloody tears from her eyes down her cheek with my thumb and my ring finger. I leaned in close to her ear and I softly whispered-

"You missed one."

Her eyes opened up and took a deep breath, but in that instant I made an almost demon-like slide around her and in a flash I cut off the head of the S***S*** about to backstab her. In that whole motion, I took my left foot and slid it all the way around her right side, and in one motion I drew forth my blade behind my back! In one magnificant flash, my blade made its way back around, and I was now behind Yoko with my arm around her sheathing my blade at the same time. My left hand holding the sheath and my right hand puting the blade away slowly closing my arms around her. Also in the moment a rain of blood came from the freshly cut body I struck down, and since I was covering her from the rain, my overcoat became bloody. It looked as if I was holding her gently with one arm. My right arm was across her lower neck, it seemed like a majestic dance that had just come to a finish. And I softly told her-

"You are now my Bloody Angel."

As I took my arms away from her, she nodded her head, sheathed her katana and wakazashi, and we continued to make our way down into the S***S*** ship. Ash, Smiter and Alpha witnessed that entire scene, and were almost in a state of pure awe. Ash then poked at Smiter and told him-

"See! Why can't we do something like that! They move like one, and he shielded her from that bloody mess! It's almost like they were dancing! So gracefully!" She spoke in pure awe of the moment, still shooting down the pirates.

Smiter couldn't believe what he was hearing, sighed, and laughed as he shook his head. Alpha kept on trampling anything that moved and was S***S***! As Yoko and I moved past them, Ash gracefully bowed towards me while shooting the people behind her as I passed her first. Next Smiter did a 180 spin slicing down the people around him, sheathing his sword gracefully and bowed. Then Alpha smashed down the last guard near the Ship's entrance leaving her hammer on top of the poor soul, and boweed lightly.

The S***S*** Ship was essentially ours, we had taken it over and slain almost the entire crew. All that was left was to loot their ship and bid our farewell. We came to the door leading down into the storage, and Yoko stabbed at the doorlock with her wakazashi, and I simply moved her back to open the unlocked door. She had a grin of (oops) on her face. Now I had learned that these S***S*** pirates carried only the FINEST Sake in all of the seas. Of course, we took it upon our liberty to free them of such a burden to carry this sake. So we decided to, more or less, "share the wealth". I opened a box and read the label ...

[Sakura Sake]

Only the finest in all of the land! We quickly began to transfer the sake over to our ship, and took whatever supplies and food we could manage to find. Pillage and Plunder! Ahh~! Tis the life, of course, of pirates ourselves! Just as Alpha went back over to the NaruSaku Mk.II, suddenly the captian of the S***S*** made his appearance.

"YOU! Captain Hokuten of the NaruSaku! I challenge you to open combat!"

I turned around to face this "captain" who hadn't shown his face the entire battle, and gave a good look at him. Just another rabid fanboy, leading a bunch of idiots down the wrong path. He barely was even worth the effort of slaying. So I waved at him as to decline his challenge, and simply told everyone to leave. Of course the S***S*** captain wasn't very pleased with my response, so just before I could get off their ship, a group of his men tackled me down! They threw the board connecting the two ships into the water, and it was too late for Yoko to come back to my aid! I should have expected this since they were pirates as well, but then again I didn't think they were THAT desperate. So here I was standing on their open bloodied deck. Five big guys with swords and daggers in hand, and their captain who was ready to just backstab me as I would fight his goons. I simply shouted over to my crew-

"GET GOING! I will catch up."

My crew naturally disagreed and tried to argue, but I shouted again-

"THAT'S AN ORDER!"

They fell silent and went according to orders and the ship began to sail off. Now it was just me and these six S***S*** bastards. Of course I loved my odds! Six to one odds made me simply excited, but instead I saw a flare go up from the water, and that was my signal. Just as they all charged me at the same time, I leap over them and pushed their captain into the pile. I ran over to the front side and lept overboard! The S***S*** pirates all got up and ran to see if I hit th water, but instead I was in a small row boat with my brother, Blayze, already getting a good distance away from the ship. Immediately the S***S*** captain ordered is men to bring the ship about port side.

"I'll be damned if we let him escape to leave us dead in the water! We'll blow that bastard to hell! READY THE CANNONS!" He bellowed.

As Blayze and I were slowly rowing away towards Eden, we saw that they were trying to fire upon us. I was rowing the boat, and saw this.

"OY! Paul, they're gonna fire at us!"

His back still faced the S***S** ship, but he had a great grin upon his face. "Oh are they?"

"Just what DID you do to their ship, eh brother?"

He then had an evil grin that could only tell of such an malicious deed! He pulled out a pen detonator from his jacket pocket, and had an even greater evil smile. And then I had a great grin upon my face as I knew exactly what he was going to do.

"So tell me Lloyd, do you like fireworks?"

Blayze pushed down on the switch. I quickly looked past him to look back at the S***S*** ship which suddenly BURST into flames! There was a GREAT explosion, the ship must have blown in half and then into smitherines! I looked to my brother who was already laughing out loud into the night air. We had successfully one our first ship-to-ship battle, and without much casualties or injuries. Everyone had gotten their chance to fight, and proved their skill well. I was extremely proud of my entire crew. Blayze and I rowed our way to shore, where the NaruSaku Mk.II was already docked and waiting for us. As we made it to port, both of us rushed to the concert hall where Alpha and Yoko were waiting for us, but there was something wrong. Before they could tell me I was already sobbing my whole life away, and I become depressed that instant.

"The show is sold out. No more tickets." Alpha told Blayze.

Yoko tried to come to my comfort, but I was still sobbing away like a little girl. I could hear the concert start, and they played my favorite song!

"OMG! They're starting with [Wanna Be An Angel]!!! I LOVE THAT SONG! WAAHHHHHHH!!!"

"It's okay, dai-syon! I'm sure she'll have another concert sometime soon!" Yoko tried to coax me, but then we passed a sign that said.

[Sharon Apple's LAST Live Concert here in Eden]


And I continued to sob even harder than before. I had missed this once in a lifetime chance to go to a Sharon Apple concert and we HAD to run into those damned S***S*** pirates. My life as a Fanboy was over, I had failed myself in life. I felt so depressed that I just wanted to hang myself ... but then we came across another poster.

[Priss Asagiri & The Replicants LIVE! @ Hot Legs, MegaTokyo!]

Almost immediately my entire expression and emotions pulled a 180! I was right back to CRAZY FANBOY status!

"EEEEEEEEHH!? NANI!?" I spoke in disbelief and started to squeal like a school girl again.

"Who is she, dai-syon?" Yoko curiously asked.

So I went into a full detailed biography! "She's Priss Asagiri the rock star of my heart! Not only is she talented and beautiful! She also has the voice of a goddess, and the attitude of a bad girl! Her number 1 hit single [Konya wa Hurricane], made top charts that same day it came out! On top of that she's apart of the Knight Sabres ..." And I continued mindlessly rambling on, and on.

Just then Blayze and Alpha were looking at me with pure disbelief again. Alpha looked at a very stressed out and agitated Blayze. She just couldn't believe this.

"We travled for nearly a week out of our way, and we miss this concert, he's about to hang himself, and now he's back to normal cuz of this new girl!?" She asked poor Blayze who was smacking his head with his palm.

("Jeeooo!!! Jeooo!!! Jeeoooo!" I indistinctly was heard by them, explaing to Yoko about the Knight Sabres and imatating the sounds of lasers.)

My brother simply looked at a baffled Alpha, and replied with. "Yeah, that's my brother for you."

Just then I finished my WHOLE explaination and about my fandom of Priss Asagiri to Yoko. I stood straight up proudly and picked up my radio com and called in to Arashi. "... and that's why we MUST go! This is another challenge of a lifetime for me to accomplish! ARASHI! SET COURSE TO MEGATOKYO!"

"YO-KAI!" He responded over the radio com.

"YOKO!" I firmly and gleefully shouted.

"HAI! SENSEI!" She responded with a firm salute.

I enthusiastically pointed in the direction back to the docks and commandingly shouted. "EEEEEI-KEI!!!" (LET'S GO!)

She tapped her feet, punched into the air like I did, and responded with, "YOOOOOSH!"

"UUUUUAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAA!!!" I started to march in a mad/crazy style with my feet apart and my knees bent, pointing in the direction of the docks, back to the ship, laughing madly into the air, with Yoko marching along my side.

While both Blayze and Alpha just watched us march off into the distance with their heads down and their jaws dropped in pure bewilderment and disbelief. Finally Alpha asked-

"Is he ALWAYS like that?"

Blayze just responded with, "You try living with him for 18 years ..."

To Be Continued.

[Blayze]

Heh. EXPLOSION OF URINE!

[Smiter]

Hoku... Hoku... Hoku...

I LOVED the story! XD

I thought everyone was written fantastically well in the story, and I laughed many times! I loved how Ash and Alpha interacted, especially when Alpha wanted to tell her horror tales of Fat Ass Sasuke! Yoko, Blayze, Arashi, Aethos and of course you were really fun to read.

Hehe, I had a huge grin on my face when I read all the SmAsh stuff. *blushes* I liked it. *glomps Ash back*

Oh, and, no problem with funding this place. It was more than worth every penny. This place is quite priceless to me and, though it is still quite young, it has already made many great memories.

[Uzumaki Naruto]

Great stories i love them.

[alphabet]

So to keep him "calm", Alpha whacked him in place with her MegaTon Hammer. He turned around to look at me as if trying to signal for (Help me!!!).

That? Killed me. In fact, this entire story is killing me. Because I love it too much.

Blayze x me? *dies* I love it, Aethos.

In fact, I loff you, Blayze. Let's have secks.

*clings to Ashy* We interact so nicely. ALL THE TIME!!! WOW!!!

[Yuriko]
