Malfunction (Event)

[Kurosaki]

(This event takes place before the Straw Hat Pirates are split up. Sorry the beginning is so short guys!)

What was a Shichibukai doing on Sabaody Archipelago? It just didn't make any sense! Let alone that there were two of them heading towards a grouping of civilians. The two imposing figures were alike in exactly each way. Both slowly trudged towards the cluster of innocents. They were all too scared to move. No one dared to budge as the first one stopped, the other continuing on his way, and turned his head toward them. A woman shouted and clutched her child closely to her out of fear.

The figure stopped and stood there in front of them all, removing one of his gloves. He proceeded to point his hand toward them, a yellow glow beginning there. "RUN FOR IT!" someone shouted and everyone began to flee just in time, for a beam shot out seconds later and struck the ground right where the mother had been standing before, destroying everything in the immediate area. People closer to the blast were flown forward into buildings heavily injued. Shouting and crying began as innocents ran for cover.

Why were they being attacked?! It made no sense!

[Mikan]

(um...so why is Robin in? *confused*)

The tall woman gazed at the green grass of the islands that seem to run forever. Well, not forever, but from each groves. After what happen with her crew, she started looking for them. Kuma, have sent them away, but it seems she landed at Grove 30. Far away from where the admiral, the two impersonating robots, the shichibukai, and the man that holds an axe. It seems that she landed only by a few kilometers away from them. Her mind think of stuff that made that happen, and this is what she got.

- Maybe Kuma send him only a few kilometers away from them, so they can still get the rest of the crew? No...then what he done to them wouldn't make sense. Why does he have to send us away, and capture us at the same time? It was really a mystery. (well, Robin you should be in Tequila~) Maybe she was here because of the event that's going to happen? Well, maybe. What about Nami? Where is she? And her captain? the doctor? the shipwright? what about the skeleton man? curlybrows? sleepyman? What about the rest of her crew? She sighed, and continue walking.

Walking from Grove 30 - 41 is really hard work. But Robin didn't care. The ship! The ship is still in Grove 41. Let's see. She went inside to find that no one of her crews are in. She sat down, and waited for someone she knows to come. She looked at the window to wait for the rest of the crew, but she saw nothing. She saw nothing except for the two impersonating shichibukai robots on the loose attacking people. She looked in awe, and went to the deck of the red ship, or Sunny Go. This isn't her personality. She should be thinking! Nothing came to her mind, as she saw the two shichibukai robots came toward her direction.

(Its because you wanted too)

Trafalgar was exausted from the previous battle with that robot that he fought along with his crew and Kidds crew. He had left his crew at their ship to rest. He still had some strength in him so he had gone out to get supplied to get out of there as soon as possible. He was in grove 41 after just leaving his ship he looked towards the left and saw straw hats ship. He saw Nico Robin on the deck looking slightly scared and wondered why. He then looked towards the other direction and saw two of the same robots he had just fought with Kidd. He stared in horror but only for a quick second. He then started to look angry. Luckily he had brought his sword just in case something lke this would have happened. He noticed that behind the two the city was in chaos because of the two. He looked at them again and noticed that they were looking directly at Robin. Now it wasn't everyday that he would do this but he just didn't like it when people especially big guys attack girls. He walked right in front of the Sunny-go and gave a stare at them both. He had to prepare himself for a big fight here. If he thought 1 was hard he now had to take two on

[tenkei]

Kizaru strolls down among the different groves as he ponders on the events that transpired that day. In particular, the actions Kuma took towards the Strawhats.

“Oo, Oo, what was with Kuma not explaining himself back there. He just disappeared after sending the Strawhats away. When he returns to Mariejoa, Sengoku better take precaution when dealing with Kuma.”

He walked past a few civilians that were running in the opposite direction. Kizaru thought the Celestial Dragons might have been around, as they have been known to cause such a reaction. Kizaru kept pressing forward ‘till came upon a tree stump and decided to take a rest. As he sat, Kizaru’s thoughts wondered to his fight the Dark King Rayleigh.

”For an old man, he was monstrously powerful. The fact he was able to cut me shows how stronger he is compared to these pirates nowadays. Though that fact alone doesn’t make it any more bearable that he was able to escape me.”

Kizaru let out a long-winded sigh as more people began to run past him. He turned his towards the running and saw that a lot of them had wounds and were burnt.

”The Nobles must be acting especially cruel today. It must be of the incident at the slave house. Oo, they always leave me with such a headache.”

Kizaru was about to move away from the grove, when he heard his Den Den Mushi ringing. On instinct, he held the black Den Den Mushi to his mouth.

“Hellooo, this is Kizaru speaking. Hellooo? Oh wait-“

He felt something in his coat start to vibrate. He pulled out his baby Den Den Mushi from his coat and clicked it on.

“Borsalino speking.”

”Admiral, an emergency situation has occurred on grove 41. Two of PX series cyborgs have started to malfunction and are attacking many of the civilians.”

“Oo, why not send Sentoumaru to deal with them. He would be able to deactivate them without much trouble.”

”We would have sir, but he has already been recalled back to Marine Headquarters. No one else here have the power to deal with them sir.”

Kizaru let out a exhausted sigh, ”Understood”.

He clicked off the Den Den Mushi and started to make his way to towards the rampaging PX’s.

[Kurosaki]

(So sorry guys! You could have gone on without me, you know. T___T I even wrote in the thread that you could on the sign ups, I think.)

The PX seemed hell bent in rendering everything around them into ruins. It would have been find for future Archeaologists but for right now people were in chaos. Men and women alike were screaming their heads off as they tried to pack up what they could of their possessions before leaving their homes behind for safeties sake. What was going on? Who on Earth would do such a thing! No one had ever really believed that something like this could happen. The Dragon Lords were bad enough but then on top of that...

The first PX began to lumber off in a certain random direction. The other one robotically moved to follow and soon the two ended up heading directly for one lone ship. In front of the ship stood one man. The lights blinked in their eyes as they scanned the person. This was the first time in a while that the scan was actually accurate. They had scanned Trafalgar Law. A beeping sound came from one of the cyborgs and light began to collect in its ajar mouth. Suddenly it opened wide and shot a beam straight at its opponent.

They weren't holding back. If someone didn't do something soon, the Sunny Go would be the next thing to be destroyed in the rampage.

[ahuvya]

(OOC: ^_^ lets make it a good one guys)

Ahuvya Occasus felt the explosions and heard the screams before he knew was was happening, but what ever it was, it had the Marines scared wittless. Ahuvya had come to the 45th inlet of the Sabaody Archipelago following a lead on "The Foundation's Key", and he had just found his informer when all the commotion had started, and the little rat had bolted. Ahuvya now raced towards the sounds, stoping everynow and again to help some of the more Severely Wounded, till at last he found himself at the Heart of the Conflict, Archipelago #41. As he walked through the ruins, what Ahuvya saw sent shivers down is spine, what could have caused such destruction...and why? The Path of Destruction seemed to be heading for the Docks, His own ship "The Lily of the Valley", was docked near by, he would have to hurry. Picking up speed, Ahuvya headed for the cause of the Destruction, but what he would find would be like nothing he had ever seen before. Several Minutes later, as Ahuvya stood several Hunderd yards way from two large men, identical in every way, and one word formed in his mind, Androids, then smiled coldly, Today was just not his day.

[Mikan]

What are they doing here?, she thought. Aren't they near the Auction House? She jumped out of Sunny Go, and run towards one of the huge mangrove trees. I have to get out of the ship, or the android will ruin the ship if it saw me. She saw Trafalgar, the so called Dark Doctor. He stood in the center of th robot's attention. I have to run away as soon as possible, she thought nervously. Right now, I don't have the power to defeat them. She sneakily crawled out of the trees, but it was all too late.

As one of the PX give out a beam toward Trafalgar's direction, the other one moved its head and saw someone crawling her way out of the trees. The PX started scanning the human, and beeping sounds, and lights blinks in and out from it's eyes. They had scanned another criminal. Nico Robin. It opened it's mouth, and lights came out of it's opened, mechanical mouth. Then, it was a beam. The PX let it out toward her direction, while Robin crawl her way out of the tree.

[roronoazoro]

Trafalgar Law stared at the PX unit that was charging his lazer. Trafalgar started running towards the right once he saw that Robin was running away. He jumped and dodged the first lazer. He ran towards the PX unit and slid under its legs. He held out his left hand and started to make a barrier around them both. He drew his sword and slashed but it did nothing. Law was shocked and ran out of the barrier and up to a higher part of land. He thought to himself. 'Why am i doing this. i hardly beat one with the help of my crew and Kidds. Maybe it was that fight that tired me out so much. Yeah that is it. But i can't give up. Cause if i do I'm dead.' He said as he started making another barrier. Once completed he drew his sword and slashed as many times as he could. Thus creating some sort of smoke that Law couldn't see through, he got into a positioin to dodge an attack like the lazer. he thought again to himself. 'Man these things are tough and there are two of them. how am i going to win against them. I hope that all the comotion didn't get the attention of the admiral on the island currently.'

(1 day but when you post make sure to actually post. OOC questions can be pm'd to staff. Could you change your post? Thanks!)

The vitals were still good in the person that the first PX had detected. Somehow he had managed to leap out of the way just in time. The second PX was no longer assisting the first with Trafalgar. Instead, its sights were focused on a newer target. Someone that had been trying to flee. They hadn't gotten very far when it shot a beam in their direction. Miraculously, the woman managed to crawl her way out of the tree before the beam hit. The explosions one after another shook the ground roughly and the tree that had been hit splintered apart. Chunks of wood and debris flew up high and then rained down around the battle ground area.

The PX's saw their targets trying to avoid them and turned, away from the Sunny Go, to give chase. Though their movements were slow and clunky, their attacks were deadly. Even when one was struck by a sword, it did no damage what-so-ever to it's outer shell. They weren't slowing down. Their opponents would either have to take them apart or run for their very lives.

[ahuvya]

(OOC: lol, np, I'll remeber that next time)
Ahuvya analyzed the Scene with a cold glare, he had help build the Prototypes of the PX series Cyborgs years ago, but these new models were on a whole nother level, he doubted a well armed Marine company could stand againts them, this was going to be trouble. Ahuvya flinched when the PX unit fired off it's partical laser towards the dock, barely missing the large ship that the man stood infront of, and coming with in a hairs breath of hitting his own ship that was docked very near to it. With a sight, Ahuvya jumped down, from his hideing spot and inched his way closer to the PX units, he did not know who these people were, but with that last shot, one thing was made very clear to Ahuvya, the PX AI units were severely Damaged. While forging the parts for the PX's predecessors for the World Goverment, Ahuvya learned alot about the Machines, enought to know that each was biult with top of the line targeting Systems, for the PX to miss by such a marget, ment that something had gone wrong. As he Inched Closers, a plan formed in Ahuvya's mind, by first, he would have to act as bait, 3-2 was not a good number. In a Sudden burst of Speed, Ahuvya charged the Closest unit to him, the one that had yet to make a move. In a Flash of movment, Ahuvya drew Hateshiganai, "Juukei Style: Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine!", as the blade swung downward, a glimmering stream of metal shot from the hilt, striking the ground, and sending a large shockwave towards the nearby PX unit.

[Mikan]

It missed Robin, and hit the next mangrove tree. It startled her. She didn't know that it was coming toward her. She stood up, and tried to run away. But, another explosion came just near her. They know I'm here, she thought. She stood up, and sighed. She can't help it. Now, she had to battle her way out. She tried to attack, but stopped when he saw a man dashed toward it. He was brave, and very powerful. Robin didn't know the man, but she knew he need him to make her escape. But what about the ship, she thought while she look at it. It swayed gently back and forth at the still waters.

Tsch! she thought. She run toward the PX's and close her eyes. She put her hands in a cross shaped just below her breast, and imagined the whole scene in her mind. She made three of her limbs appear in the limbs. As soon as she did that, she open her eyes just in time to see it. She took the hand's that was hanging and use it as a swinging rope. She manage to leap above the PX, and escape, skipping it. She gave out a weak smile, as she landed safely in the ground, hoping that the two robots didn't see her.

[Kurosaki]

The PX nearest to the male opponent turned and its eyes began to blink as it took in the movement. The person was running forward and used his weapon to somehow create a shockwave. Earth rose up and swept directly at the failed mechanary in such a rush of speed that it would have been impossible for a human to dodge, let alone a hunk of metal. Instead, it stood its ground as though sensing that any attempt to flee would have been futile. Its mouth opened and a beam shot out from its throat and struck the ground just as the shockwave neared.

The immediate collision was so intense that the explosion of force almost knocked the other PX down. The two forces had met with one another, battled it out, and then been too equal in force. Both had repelled each other. Now a rush of wind and debri was sent in every directly. Nothing was safe. The PX that had originally been attacked was lost in a cloud that covered up the fate of it. Had it been destroyed in the blast, or had it managed to escape?

The other PX didn't allow time for questions to dwell about the future of the other, however. Instead it turned and sent a beam directly for the male and then turned and shot at the female, seeming content to do the work of two malfunctioning robots by itself.

[ahuvya]

Ahuvya smiled as the two attacks collided, sending up a thick cloud of vaporized Earth and stone, just as he wanted. Reaching into his coat, Ahuvya pulled out several small, Plastic capsules, and as he opened them, a Stream of the same substance in the hilt, flowed Over his hands, "Juueki, Unarmed Style: Metal King!". Then, suddenly, a Beam of light Shot torwards him, Ahuvya gave a Sideways swipe, deflecting the beam up and away from him towards the distant trees. Falling to his knees, Ahuvya grabed the hand he had used to deflect the beam, Even through the Heat resistant Metal World, he could still feel the energy in the beam, and the Impact force had most likly shattered his arm. Blocking the pain, Ahuvya stood up, and then Using the Cloud of dust as cover, Ahuvya charged the near by PX unit, jumping on it's back, then, stratend out his uninjured hand and hit the PX unit in the neck joint with all his might, opening a very tiny hole. Taking out several more on the Small Capsules, Ahuvya allowed the Metal on his hand and in the Capsules to flow into the hole. When this was done, Ahuvya jumped off and headed for Cover, then, When he was safe, he drew a small Remote from his pocket, and pressed a Button. A small puff if smoke could be seen coming from "The Lily of the Valley" as a long rod was shot up into the air. When the Rod reached it's peak, the hovering devise activated, and the rod flowed softly over the Ground. Suddenly, the rod quivered, and shot towards the PX Unit, attached to the Metal World Ahuvya had placed in it earlyer. When the Rod hit, Ahuvya, pressed another Button, and the hovering devise hit full power, and the rod rose into the air, the PX unit still attached. At full blast, the Mining Probes power would not last five minutes, but the PX unit could not fire it's Laser if it was not grounded, This would give the Man and the Woman time to Escape....or attack the remaining PX unit.

________________________________________________
Metal King
Range: Short (1-2)
Description: Ahuvya Covers his hands in Metal World, and punches the Target.

Dousing Probe
A High-tech Mining tool developed by Ahuvya and Uriah Occasus, now used around the world to find deep pocket metal veins and other Materials such as Coal and Oil. The Device consists of a Large, Ocean resistant Steel cylinder standing 6 feet and 4 feet in diameter, containing several dozen, 3 foot long 6 inch thick rods fourged of Eternal Magnite, and attached to hovering Devices. Each Rod is tuned to a specific metal or substains, such as Iron, Copper, Tin, Coal, and even Kairoseki (Seastone). Uriah Occasus Developed a Proto-type of the Dousing Probe while of TIfbtS, to help him find specific metals in the rich Island. The design was later perfected by his Son and Successor, Ahuvya Occasus, to the Joy of the Marines who now use them to mine vast amounts of Kairoseki and Iron for their Fleets, as well as by many Pirates whom use it to search Treasure and wreaks. Although extremely expensive,The Dousing Probe has come to Replace even top of the line Metal detectors as a mining tool. The Dousing Probe works by shooting the selected probe into the Air, which hover several dozen feet above the ground, the now air-born Probe is attracted to any underground source of the selected substance. The Dousing Probe is able to Locate any pocket of Substance within a 20 mile radius of the launch site to within a 2 foot margin, although this can sometimes lead to trouble as any object of the selected substance must be removed from this zone for accurate readings. Ahuvya also uses the Dousing Probe to Attract lost Metal World in the area after a fight. The Dousing Probe wieghs over 800 pounds(lb) and smaller Ships are not able to carry them.

Metal World:
An Exstreamly Rare metal found in only 2 places in the world, on TIfbtS and a small Island is the New World call "Metal Sea". Metal World is what is calls a "Non-Newtonian Fluid"*. When even the Slightest amount of stress is applyed to Metal World, the normaly easy flowing metalic substains, hardens to the strength nearly 3 times greater than that of folded Steel, making it one of the most sought after metals in the world. The Marines use Metal World in top of the line armor Plating. Because it cunducts vasts amonsts of electricity, second only to Silver and Gold, while conducting no heat, By injecting the Metal world into Special made gloves, Blacksmiths are able to handle and work with Molten Metal, making it highly sought after by Blacksmiths and Engineers from around the world for there equipment. One Gallon of Metal World is said to go for over 5,000,000 on the open Market.

[Mikan]

Robin looked back to see if she was seen by the two huge androids, and as soon as she looked back, a yellow beam came hurdling toward her. There was no time for her to run, or use any of her devil fruit powers, so she relied on someone. Or something that will happen in a few seconds. Something that will help her escape death. The beams were hurdling toward her. Everything was in slow motion. For some reason, she can't think of anything. Anything to make her butt move. She can only give out a shocked expression.

The last time she gave that expression was when she heard "CP9" on Water 7. Her legs started to shake, and she remembered that dark saga of her life with her friends, the strawhats. No! I have to live! she thought to herself. Then, there was an explosion. A black cloud shrouded the area. Rocks from the ground was sent up into the air. Then, from the smoke was a black hair rising above. Is Robin dead? I think not. "Cien Fleur! Wings!" she shouted from the smoke. She was seen flying with wings made from her limbs. She was full of bruises, but that was nothing. She get to see the blue sky again. It's time to act! she thought as she narrowed her eyes at the PX units.

[Kurosaki]

The PX that was still visible reacted to turn back to its male opponent as the boy continued to move around. The beam had injured him, the malfunctioning robot observed, but luckily for him, at least, was still alive. The PX opened its mouth to finish up the job but couldn't see well enough through the thick smoke. A weight was detected by the gears on its back and the PX unit attempted to turn its head to shoot a beam upward when something broke through part of its armor. It seemed not to care and still tried to attack. The beam shot up uselessly into the air, popping several Archipelago bubbles on its way and then exploding and sending a shockwave downward. The boy had already leaped free.

The PX unit that was still up and moving around for now turned to scan for its target, beeping noises sounding as it attempted to locate Ahuvya through the smoke. Instead, it was struck by a rod. It stuck fast to its armor. The PX didn't seem to notice it and instead began to shoot beams randomly around itself untl it was lifted up into the air. The beams stopped for now. Five minutes began to count down until the device it was hovering by gave out.

The other PX, meanwhile, had lumbered its way out of the smoke. It's computerized brain searched for a target. It began to wander forward and came across a family of three that had attempted to hide behind a shack nearby where the Sunny Go had been docked. The malfunctioning scan came up that they were pirates with bounties of 300,000,000 beri and the PX opened its mouth to finish what it thought was a cluster of SuperNovas.
