Rather unmajestically, the Habiki pulled (lurched) into port. Then, after shouts from the harbour master about all the other ships it hit on the way in, about its lack of sea worthiness, and that he'd get it pulled off the oceans, and the following screams of "get away", "you can't do this" and "Let me down!", the crew got ready to disembark.
A figure stood on the bridge. "Men! A few of-*" "Who are you?" Misty asked. Oh...Sorry...It's me, TNT! Im trying a new look for my new anime starring role". He was wearing a black leather jacket, black shirt, black trousers finished with black tennis shoes. He was wearing sunglasses which didn't completly block out his eyes. You could easily see them, but the glasses gave them a brown tint. He had his dark blue, almost purple, hair tied back into a pony-tail with a red ribbon and had put a hair extension on to give him a long, flowing ponytail effect. He'd put on his dramatic voice permenently lately. Also, now a rapier hung off his belt almost constantly. "*ahem*...Men!-*" "And women!" Aria shouted. Men AND Women of the crew! a-*" "What about others? Misty Brown shouted. "And non humans?" Ryoko added. TNT walked away, counted to ten, and came back. "CREW! A few-*" He waited for any interruptions.
... "Crew! A few-*" "Get on with it!" Asuka screamed. "SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!" TNT yelled. "YOU DARE TELL _ME_ TO SHUT UP YOU SVINEHUND!!!!" "I'M TRYING TO CONTINUE!!!" "{a string of curses in germen}". "US AMERICANS BEAT YOU IN THE WAR!!". TNT was convinced he was American. From Detroit. A bitterness swept across the Japanese crew members. "Look! All I wanted to do is have a dramatic scene where I pick who comes with me to the hermit!" TNT said, near tears. "Oh alright! Get on with it!" Ayeka called out. TNT took a deep breath. "Men!Afewofusaregoingonshoretofindthehermitandfindourway" he blurted out before anyone else could get their hands up. "Why a few? I wan't to stay here and practice drinking a barrel of rum!" Misato argued. "In case we meet any trouble!" Aria suggested. "Exactly!" TNT said, grateful for an ally. "But the chances of you getting attacked is 1654772535577543338 to 1" Ritsuko informed him. Everyone looked in shock. "FULL BATTLE STATIONS!!!!" TNT screamed! "Full away team! I want you all packing heat!" "Aria and Simon will back me up in the main group. Asuka knows the language so she'll have to come. And we'll bring Shinji as cannon fodder!" TNT continued. "Of course..." Shinji angsted. "John and Mike will be flank gaurds!" John grabbed a phaser rifle and Mike picked up an "Alien" film style Pulse rifle. John was TNT's trekkie friend that answered to Drone. Mike was another of TNT's friends and was a right gun nut. "Mihoshi and Kiyone will watch the rear!". The 2 galaxy police officers got ready. *P-youn* A shot from Mihoshis laser ricoched around the ship. "Aidan and Li Ling Ling are in charge till I get back. If Ritsuyko says its safe, run and try to save yourselves!" "I resent that!" Ritsuko muttered. TNT got equiped. He checked his brand new Glock 35 Custom. He also put on the Colt Peacemaker holster. Then gave a final check to all his back up weapons, including his trusty night-sticks. He was ready for trouble. Ritsuko was a great natural radar.
The brave 8, and Shinji, left the ship. "Dont worry! Nothing bads gonna happen!" Ritsuko called down to them. *The sound of all the weapons having their safteys taken off and unholstered.
"And warn us if you see any other ships!" TNT called back. "Of course!" Aidan shouthed. They crept cautiously into the night. It was night, you see.
"Aidan turned to his crew. "Ok! Execute protocol 70!" The crows nest turned into a giant discoball And they all began dancing to the music. o/" Ah ah ah ah staying alive! staying alive! o/"
"BWA HA HA HA HA! Fools!" Gendo evil-ed.
The Arashi drifted into to port 3 bays away from the Habiki.
Kage came out of Captains cabin wearing his old Ninja outfit. A fairly
tight, no frills black outfit with a face mask. It was a modern design
with second-chance body armor and built in sensor suite including image and
acustic amplification and both passive and aggressive night vision
modes. It also contained a breathing mask and automatic visor to protect againts flash bangs.
Matsura, Kasumi and Kiku followed him.
"Been a long time..." Kasumi stated quietly.
Kage smiled under his mask. It felt great to be back in the team. Nice
and predictable. A thing that Team Ninja lacked. "Ok!" he growled. He had
decided that he would growl all the time as a villian. "We'll head
across the roof tops. They've got a head start on us, but we'll just have to
kill a few of them to scare them off".
The Grandmaster turned to the crew. "You know what to do." The crew bowed. Lights came on all over the ship. They all put on squeky shoes. Mice leapt out off all the womens bras. o/" Shorty and the EZ mouse o/"
"So who is this Princess?" Simon asked. "Where did you meet?" Asuka added. "Well...We haven't actually met..." TNT replied. "Huh?". Shinji joined the conversation. "She kinda came to me in a dream...I checked it up in a libary and it turns out she's the princess of a ice kingdom. According to legend, this is a linked dream for her to call her soulmate..." TNT explained. "Thats really romantic..." Aria sugested. "So I must do all in my power to find her. She comes to me everynight" he continued.
"Here we are!" Asuka interrupted. "The Hermit Poetry House!" It didn't look much from the other side of the square it was on. It had a small neon sign over the door. You had to climp some steps to get onto the same level as the door.
Suddenly 4 figures leapt in front of them.The centre group didn't move. The flanking and rear teams moved into position. Matsura was a bit worried. They didn't expect such a large group. "Konichi wa" Kage sneered in his best evil hate filled voice. "Your blocking our path!" TNT answered in an angry voice. "Oh thats no problem...For your path ends HERE!" Kage whipped Kim out and threw a vertical slice at the pony-tailed stranger. TNT insticively hopped to one side and jabbed his rapier at the masked mans face.
Both men stood there. Both had just missed. On Kim lay a hair ribbon and hair extension. On the rapier hung a face mask.
"YOU??!!!!" they chorused. "Get out of my anime! I told you not to come crawling back!" TNT hollared. Kage decided not to give TNT the satisfaction of riling him. "I'm here cos I'm now a big deal in a new anime!!!!!!" he screamed, forgetting what he had decided. "Well you can't be here! This is my big part!" "Yeah. Your head!" "This is Dashing Pirate Captain TNT!" TNT told him. "Exactely!! So get out of here before the lecherous moron arrives!" "I have to be here when he arrives! He's the villian!"
"Erm...Are you 2 kinda in the same anime...?" Shinji asked nervously. "DON'T BE STUPID!" they roared in uinson. "I'M In 'DASHING PIRATE CAPTAIN TNT' !!!!!" ... "You...Your Dashing Pirate Captain TNT??!!!" Kage paniked. "Yeah...Don't tell me your the villian?" TNT sighed. "Well this is awkward..." Kage replied. "Yeah...What do we do now as enemys?" Memorys of Team Ninja came flooding back to Kage, in a typical rival way. "Easy! I kill you ^_^ " Kim swept down again, but TNT blocked this with the night-stick hidden under the fore arm of his sleeve. Drone, Mike, Kiyone and Mihoshi opened fire. The good guys dived behind 2 nearby cars. The outnumbered and outgunned Ninja's scrambled for cover and attempted to return fire with suriken. Luckily, they also had their Uzi's which came with the 'How to be an anime villian' manual.
TNT pulled out his Glock and was blasting away at the building corner Kage dodged behind. Aria was doing her Rambo impression with 2 M60's Shinji was cowering in a bin in the ceter of the gunfight.
After 3 minutes, both sides could see this was getting them no where. Kage got an idea. "Matsura! Get Shinji!" he shouted. "BASTARDS!" TNT screamed and went to to leap over the car hood to get to shinji. "Wait!" Kiyone called out. She threw him her Hyperdimensional Cube. She had been teaching TNT how to use it. It could turn into tons off cool things out by turning the sides like a rubix cube. TNT gave a few quick turns to create a large metal shield, about 1m squared. Using this as cover, both TNT and Asuka ran across to Shinji. Seeing that the club was close he roared "I'm going in! Keep them out!" The 3 rushed in.
<2 can play at that game> Kage thought. He ripped a wooden door off the building and ran towards the club using this as , rapidly depleting, cover.
Somehow he made it and burst into the club. He was alone against 3. And who knows what TNT could plan. No sign of them in the crowded club, but they had to be somewhere. But he wasn't alone. He unseathed and spun it on its tip. In a blur of transformation, Kim-chan appeared, spun dizzily, then threw up. Kage thought for the 65th time.
{What will happen?} {Will Kage stop our intrepid hero?} {Will He reveal the reason for him chasing our Dashing Pirate Captain} {Will the hermit know?} {Or can we stretch this out a bit?}
{Tune in for the concluding part in _KAGE'S_ e-mail}

****************************************************
*** The Five of Clubs ***( Hey it's college, leave me alone)
The grandmaster paused in mid-routine " was that gunfire? " " GUNFIRE!! " Gendo burst of of the cabin door screaming about the apocalypse. Sakura got quite annoyed as Gendo bumped into her for the 3rd time and her fists bunched " SHINKYU HADOKEN!!! " The fireball flew across the deck and blew Gendo over-board. *SPLASH* ...aha the murky depth of wet misery... Gendo continued to to babble in a seemingly endless maddness and Kaji was busy trying to fish him out of the ocean with a pole.
The grandmaster stod up and listened " yes that is definately gunfire "The crew gathered around him to hear his wisdom. They waited for 5 minutes and then Rei (the new cloned, very talkative one) spoke up, " AND..." " and what?" the grandmaster asked " A plan? words of wisdom, about the gunfire!", Rei shouted. " Who me? no I was just making an observation "
A group " ahhh" ended the gathering and they return to their dancing o/ ... Forever the same, Shorty and the EZ mouse..dum dum /o
Bullets sparked of the car which Matsura, Kiku and Kasumi hid behind. " Typical Anime isn't it ", Matsura cursed Kasumi turned to him after sending a volley of shuriken " Why do you say that?" " You know that we are never going to run out of ammunition " Matsura was right, the gun battle had been going for several minutes now and nobody had stopped for reload unless it looked flashy for the camera. Kiku screamed a curse at Aria who had laughed at her shuriken throw, " oh Yeah!! the next one has your name written on it ", she screamed " Which name? " Aria laughed. Kiku sat down heavily behind the car in a huff.
Matsura was wondering how Kage was getting on, they had entered the club several minutes ago, "if I know Kage he's ..." *SPANG* The bullet sparked beside Matsura's ear and he jumped Mihoshi was laughing and calling him something. " That's it!! You gonna get it!! " He jumped up and let his uzi rip * BBRRRRRTTTTT BRTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT BRTTTTTTTTT *
The club atmoshpere was dim and Kage stayed put until his eyes adjusted to the gloom. Kim-chan had recovered and was taken back by the pretty lights, Kage held onto her arm to stop her wandering off," DAmn amazon curses", he muttered
o/ ..I'm blue .. dah ba deee , da bo dah baa bee.../o TNT pulled one last time and the bin popped off Shinji's head. He was a little dazed and the dent made the removal of the bin difficult. Asuka said that he shouldn't have used Shinji as a battering ram to open the door. TNT stood up and looked around, no sign of Kage. The bodies of the dancing people and the flashing lights made everyone's movements seem hypnotic and liquid. A great place to hide he thought, too much movement and no one ounce of stealth needed.
Kage hated places like this, a dancer bumped into him and Kage gave him a push which sent him sprawling into the crowd dancing like he was being peppered by gunfire. He smiled, " Being a villian had it's perks " He grasped Kim-chan by the hand and proceeded to enter the crowd of dancers, Kim-chan followed by she was staring at the lights on the ceiling.
One particular dancer tried to get it on with kim-chan and he danced his best to gain her favour, kim-chan stared and then giggled and the dancer didnt take to his advances being laughed at. He grabbed her by the arm and pulled her in his direction. She squeaked in pain. Kage was looking the other direction at the time and felt the tugging of her arm, " What's the matter Kim-chan? ", he asked while turning.
The dancer screamed as Kim-chan sunk her teeth into his arm, she had a habit of doing this and had already bitten Matsura this morning. The dancer raised his fist. * WHAM * Kage's elbow detached from the dancers crotch and he fell with a heavy thud to the ground. Kim-chan kicked him in the head once and was pulled away by Kage.
" Blast!", Kage cursed. That little diversion had cost him his cover, no doubt that TNT had seen the little scene and had escaped, Kage searched the crowd. It was amazing that someone with such bad fashion sense and goofy hairdo would be so hard to spot in here.
o/..dum dum ..I said young men....dum dum/o
Kage snaked amongst the dancers looking for TNT and his crew, he was also thinking of a sutablely evil line for their eventual meeting.
o/ ..It's fun to stay at the YMC..A /oKage stopped, < YMCA?? in a place like this? > He looked to the stage where some live performers had walked out from behind the curtains.
Kage slaped his forehead. There he was 'Dashing CAptain TNT' and his crew doing the YMCA. He watched for a while as he found it amusing to see them do the shapes with only three people.. TNT had to quickly do the 'A' also. Kim-chan was highly entertained by this and clapped along to the beat. Kage leaned to her ear so she could hear him over the din, " Kim-chan could you change back into the sword for a minute? " " Nope! " she shook her head
" People stay at the Y.M.C.A ", TNT sang out as Asuka and Shinji joined him. He saw Kage in the crowd, Kage hadn't noticed him yet. They had a little trouble getting Shinji to come out on stage but he gave him the 'do it or I'll get Asuka' speech and it worked out alright.
Kage, without Kim-chan ( she refused to come until the song ended ) made his way closer to the stage. He lay in the shadows like a tiger before it lunged on it's prey. He tensed to strike...
*SMASH* CRASH* the skylight above the stage broke and three figures rappled down and landed nimbly on the stage. the three little figures where dressed in black and their faces were partially covered, their talis were a dead give-away. Kage stood up, " Felicia, Felicity, Francine??? " They waved, and the crowd 'awww'd. This 'awwww' quickly became a 'AAARRRRRRGGHHHHH' as the catgirls pulled out shotgun's.
The dancers began to flee for the exits and Kage was swept away from the stage by the exodus. Kim-chan continued to clap.
TNT stopped and realising that he looked quite foolish in mid-'Y' he put his hands down. " You brought the catgirls too! ", He yelled at Kage. "hey you find a crew at such short notice", he retorted by then realising he was a villain he decided to change his line structure, " *ahem* Yes, indeed dashing captain TNT, I have recruited the catgirls to instruct them in the ways of evil ( he was going to Bwa ha ha but he hadn't much practice at it so he decided not to)
" Jeez! your lines stink ", TNT slagged " ah com'n there not that bad are they? This is all ad-lib ya'know" *BLAMMMMM* A 15" diamater hole erupted in the stage curtain and strips of red felt were sent everywhere. " OOPs " Felicity said and cocked the shotgun, " sensitive aren't they "
TNT nodded and folded his arms, " yes there certainly are" Kage suddenly yelled out. " Kiku, Kasumi IMA" TNT looked up as the giant net fell down on them, the weight of the net pulled them to the floor.
" Blast you! " TNT yelled trying to stay in character but he had landed on hs keys so he was quite sore. Asuka went mad and a barrage of obscure german insults flew around the room. Francine gave up and threw the german dictionary away.
TNT tried to get up but the net was composed of heavy rope and weighted at the ends.
Kage did a low laugh and did his best to make it sound menacing, he decided that it worked quite well and remembered to keep it like that.
He hopped up onto the stage and crouched before TNT " I know the net is clich�d and all but it always works, I should hold you for about 45 minutes, well that's what the box said and if it doesnt we'll get our money back, so either way we win"
TNT tried to spit at him but it instead drooled out his mouth and ploped to the floor. " speaking of clich�s " Kage said as he stood up.
" Everyone.. let's go and take advantage of our enemies inpi�dment "Kage called out, " Now if only we had some killer bees or deadly poisonous beatles or something... doesnt matter"
TNT was furious , where was the rest of his crew. This was the perfect time for the good guys to burst in, all bravado and rescue him, catch a sword flung to him by a comrade in arms and do final battle with the arch-enemy , "villian", Kage corrected him. " Hey this is my narration sod off! "TNT snapped " Tough, We have the same narrator, something to do with budget cuts and the nicks losing" Outside TNT could still hear gunfire, what were they shooting at??
Kage had taken this ponderment opportuinity to vanish along with his Ninja team, but he had to come back in and lead out Kim-chan by the hand. "Is it over ?" , she asked
TNT on the floor and serious cramp had set in. Asuka's foot was also in his crotch but no-one could move to ease their uncomfortable positions TNT looked at Shinji watch, who was on the bottom of the heap and gave a muffled mumble everynow and again to show that he was still alive. " 45 minutes are up...now! " The net became weightless and they threw it off, Asuka yelled and stormed out the door. It took a while for Shinji to get moving but soon sesation came back to him and he was soon able to move
TNT went outside to see why his crew hadn't come in and aided them. Asuka had already screamed at them and she was heading back to the ship. TNT yelled at them " What the hell are you shooting at?? We have been tied up for an hour in there!!" Mihoshi pointed to the 3 figures behind the car on the other side of the street. Curious, TNT walked over to the car and screamed in fustration. Behind the car stood 3 overturned bins with the goofiest faces painted on them. The names Kiku, Kasumi and Matsura were painted on the bins in a ' Hi I'm ... ' style
TNT sent the bin replica of Matsura flying with a kick.
He posed in contemplation He was behind and he couldn't afford to be, not at this early stage in the plot...he paused and waited until the French man walked out of shot " Hey we're trying to film an Anime here.. please uh.. si vous plait..uh go away!!" the french man said something undesirable and wandered off.
TNT resumed his solliquay, " I will find you and I will destroy you"*** FADE OUT *** CREDITS with the ending tune by Eifel 65 ( we coudn't find another cd and this one was lying around in the club) o/..I'm blue .. dah boo dee dah boo dah da deebo dah /o
TO BE CONTINUEDTNT had finally come out of his cabin and was pacing up and down in front of the assembled crew.
He had spent 5 hours in his cabin breaking stuff after his humiliating defeat. Then came out, heard what had happened on the ship. Went back into his cabin for a cry. And had come out again.
TNT stopped pacing and look at his crew. "Men!" he started. 3 hands shot up. "Oh sorry!" TNT patronised. "I mean Crew! OF COMPLETE INCOMPETANT MORONS!!!!!!!" he screamed. Wahsuu put up her hand. "No objections till after I'm finished!" TNT snarled. "Simon! Would you like to tell the crew how the fire fight we had the advantage in went. Simon stood up. "Ummm...We lost and was fooled and didn't follow procedure." "Which caused...?" TNT prompted. "Which caused us to lose the hermit to Kage" he quietly finished. "And Aidan! Tell us what happened here!" Aidan got up and shuffled his feet nervously. "Ermm...We lost Misty and Rei to the Arashi".
"You mean we captured Misty and another Rei??!!!" Kage squeled in delight. "Yep! Sakura said proudly. "And here they are!". She opened the door to the brig. Kage's jaw dropped. "YOU BAKA'S!!! That is Misty BROWN and thats the perverted Rei from TNT's novel!!!". "You sure?" Sakura asked innocently. "All the Reis look alike to me!". "Rei's plug suit isn't made out of leather and certainly covers more then that!" Kage informed her. "Mmmm...Kage-san! I've been longing for you...!" Rei purred. Then begun the Battle For Kage's Pants. "I _like_ her!" Misty said.
TNT had stopped his insane rantings. "Ok...What do we do now?" he sneered. Ryoko and Washsuu floated up to him. "We're following the Arashi now and are rapidly catching up!" Ryoko informed him. "So...?" TNT growled. "What are we gonna do. Board them? With this crew?". "I have a cunning plan..." Washuu whispered. "I'm listening..."
"Well?" Kage asked through the door. "Sir! The Habiki is closing fast and the grandmaster and Gendo are finished interrigating the hostage!" Tracie answered. "Good! Finally we'll have some sort of plot to this thing!". Grandmaster and Gendo walked up to Kage. "He doesn't know where the place is, but he may know somw one who does, and he told us that we'll need 3 artifects of great power to enter Trullia" The grandmaster informed. Kage didn't like the glint in Gendo's eye as the grandmaster mentioned the artifacts. "Ok...And about the Habiki...We'll-* Get off Rei!! Down! Down girl!" Rei continued to wrestle at his clothes. All that was left was Kage's boxers. Wait! Now Rei had won the battle. "HENTAI!" Kage screeched and slapped Rei's face, before storming out using his face mask to cover himsef.
"HABIKI OFF STARBOARD BOW!!" Tracie roared. The newly clothed Kage came running up on deck. Right alongside the Arashi was the old Spanish Galleon. Kage could see TNT saluting him. "Prepare to fire suriken cannons! Get ready to recieve Boarding party!" Kage called out to the crew.
TNT signalled to Ryoko. She was flying alongside the starboard side of the Habiki. Once she saw the signal she pushed the Habiki into the junks side, knocking Kage's unsuspecting crew to the floor. TNT and Washuu quickly hopped onboard. "Hand them over!" TNT demanded. "Ha! My crew against just you and a woman (Evil Kage was sexist, as is required by the union. Otherwise he wouldn't get any insurance). You are in no place to demand I do _anything_!". Kage's crew stepped foward for battle. "Now!" TNT told Washuu.
Washuu pulled out a strange device that then began playing a somewhat familar, yet different tune.
o/" Shorty and her EvIL rat o/"
Suddenly, the most horrific looking rats leapt out of all the crews shirts or bras.
The well organised troops began screaming and running around all over the place.
And if your wondering.
The catgirls, while not scared, were too busy chasing all the mice around
"Interesting" Kage commentated.
"Now its just you and me!". TNT drew his rapier.
"You dare challange me to a sword duel? So be it! Your blood shall join the many to have been spilt by me". Kage slowly drew Kim.
Kage cursed himself. Of couse TNT's main weapon wasn't his sword. It was always his guns. He dropped Kim. Kage felt _really_ dumb at this moment. "Go...Goo gint goo gag gun?" he replied as Washuu came back up with the 3 hostages. Kage contemplated all the different ways to disarm TNT. "Oh...I know I have won!" TNT replied. "Where do you think the glock is? Kage suddenly noticed the feel of cold steel down his boxers. Kage warmed up his trousers. "Eww!" TNT pulled the glock out and threw it away, into Shinjis hand. Kage used this diversion to flip away up to the bridge of the Arashi.
"Ha HA!" he shouthed while throwing 7 Surikan at TNT. TNT blew 6 out of the air before the revolver was empty and the 7th surikan knocked it out of his hand. The crew had finally fought off the rats and were ready to pounce. "Poor TNT...All weaponless...Awww!" Kage sneered with a low chuckle. "Looks that way" TNT grined. "Hey Kage! Do you remember where I got the Buster Sword?" "Yeahhh..." Kage answered cautiously. "At the Store for Retired Weapons of Heros" "Wellll...Xena just upgraded her throwing weapon in the Sky1 series...". Before anyone could act, TNT grabbed a gold and silver razor hoop from his belt and threw it at Kage. *FZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ* Kage threw himself flat on the deck as it wizzed over. Sadly...The Chakram had a nasty habit off ricocheing. *PING* It bouched off the rudder and flew towards the front of the ship *FZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ* It sliced through the main sail. *FZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ* *PING* It bouched off the front of the ship. *FZZZ PING PING FZZZ PING FZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ PING PING PING PING FZZZZ* It bounced around the deck causing all Kages crew to duck. *FZZZZZZZZZZZZ PING* It bounced to the decks below. *PING PINGPINGPING FZZZ PING PING FZZZ PING PINGPINGPING FZZZZZZZZZZ PING CRASH* It cut threw the boards just in front of TNT followed by a jet of water. *FWIP* He grabbed it! Then plucked off it his hair extension and ribbon that Kage had kept as a trophy. "Wow! Cool!" TNT hopped after Washuu onto the Habiki. "Bye! I like the new hair!" he jeered. The Habiki quickly pulled away.
"Everyone! Repair the leaks! Then we'll get the main sail back up and follow them!" Kage ordered.
Kage slammed his fist on the table, furious at his stupidity for letting TNT escape, paused, then screamed. Having jumped around the cabin for several minutes here moved the thumb-tack from this hand, " That Gendo!! What deed must I have done to blight the fates to incur such wrath!", Kage screamed to the heavens ( well, the roof of the cabin ) Gendo poked his head in the door, " Did someone call?" *WHAM* The door struck Gendo on the head and he was blown outside.
Kage regained some of his composure and sat down again. He opened a drawer and pulled out a box. He opened the 'Villian Repair Kit' and began to search through the contents. " AHA! ", he exclaimed as he pulled out the hair repair solution. " This will take a while to work...", he said as he read the tube, " BLAST THAT TNT!!"
The mast repairs were under way and the leaks had been fixed. Kage slumped over the port railing , as he usually did and sighed. < Villany isn't all it was cracked up tobe> " At least TNT had taken Misty Brown and the Hentai Rei back with him. TNT did us a favour unknowest to himself", Kage laughed at this idea. Kim-chan wandered around the deck, still a little dizzy from her transformation. *BANGBANGBANG* The nailguns were hard at it and soon the mast was back in position.
The crew were tired as the sun set over the horizon, The Talkative Rei screamed out, " It's not fair! " Everyone turned to her, " How come Kage never gathers us together like TNT does with his crew? ", she continued to yell. The crew agreed with Rei's observation, they didn't know where they were going next, why they were going there? ( except Gendo who decided that they were going on a fantastic voyage to the center of the geofront but he was smacked and ignored) " KAGE", they all screamed. Kage poked his head out of the door, " What? I'm trying to scheme and make us lines in here! "The crew stormed over and Sakura grabbed him by the jacket and pulled him onto the deck. " Why dont you tell us anything?! " they cried in unison.
" What!" Kage staggered back to make room for the villian bit. " You think I would divulge my intricate plans to such a motely crew..." Kage gulped as he saw the catgirl's claws extend and Sakura charge up a fireball so he quickly continued, " How can you comprehend such evil genius!!?? " Gendo put up his hand but Felicia battered him with a wet fish. Kiku exclaimed, " Wait a minute, You dont have any plan do you!? " Kage sank, " No! I dont *sniff* I dont have any ideas *sniff sniff* and TNT cut my hair * BWWAAAAHHHHH* " Kage ran off into his cabin and slammed the door and he wasnt seen for many hours after that. The Grandmaster was leaving through an ancient tome of magicks and macabre tales, looking for insight in to the needed artifacts to gain entrance to Trullia.
Many centurys ago, The Knights Templar came across the hidden land of Trullia. To preserve it from the rest of the world they shut it off using 3 artifacts. The Feather of Light. The Claw of Sand. And The Fin of Sea. Then the secret was lost as the church shut down the templars But there was still a way to find the information. The Feather was fabled to have resided in Eldorado. The Lost City of Gold. The Claw was in egypt And The Fin in Atlantis. But still that was nothing to go on They'd have to find the lost Templar Libary hidden in London, formed by a Templar Cult 2 centurys ago. It is said to be hidden around a museum or Libary.
"So we're off to London?" TNT asked, leaning against the wall with his arms folded. "Looks that way..." Washuu replied. "But the whole thing is still a bit sketchy. Theres something more to Trullia thats caused them to seal it!" "This guy doesn't seem to know anymore!" Asuka informed them. "Maybe we'll get some answers in the library?" "Probably..." TNT muttered.
"Hey TNT, Your extension looks great today!" Washuu sai, pointing to TNT's pony tail. "Ohh...This isn't an extension anymore! I stole some Hair Growth Promoter from Kage's cabin. It look great!" "What if he notices?" Asuka asked. "Oh don't worry. I replaced it with a tube that looked the same and also effected hair growth. As long as Kage doesn't use it, he'll never know!" TNT smirked.
"There!" Kiku exclaimed as she finished tying the ribbon. Kage was wearing a flowry summer bonnet and the pretty lemon ribbon was around his chin. "That should stay!" She added to the glum Kage. The ribbon started being pulled open. Then springed into the air like 5 dozen hats before it. Kage fell onto the dressing table crying. "That bastard will DIE!!!" he sobbed. Kage lifted his head to look at what the cream had turned his hair into. "A horrible HORRIBLE DEATH!!!" he added with blood lust on his mind. Kiku tried to take his mind off it. "Why are we trying to get into Trullia anyway?" "Do you not know of the Japanese legend? I'll tell you later" Kage took another look in the mirror. Kage smashed his fist into it and began weeping again.
Ryoko poke her head in the door. "Has anyone seen my 'Instant Mohican'
hair cream?"
So conludes the tale for this stage...
