Hands Up? (Opt)

[Opticzl]

The group gathered around the man, his black hair flowed in the wind, screams, fear and blood could be heard and smelled in the tense air, an eerie silence surrounded the group but the silence was quickly broken by the words of the black haired man. "Sorry, rude of me to not introduce myself first,", Patriot smiled, he thought the man would act more tough, cold and inconsiderate of their valiant actions, if it wasn't for Reus they probably wouldn't be in the situation they were in at the moment, the situation would have probably have been way worse. "Name's Ryou. I'm a traveler at the moment. Trying to find my way back home and a friend that is lost. Not sure if he might be among the people taken...,", Patriot nodded in an awkward fashion and then spoke, his words were aimed at Ryou. "What's your friends name? Maybe he'll be in these documents?", Reus stared at Patriot and then rejected his offer for Ryou. "I don't trust him at all yet, if he can prove to us to be trustful maybe we could see if his friend is on this ship, but for now, no, we cannot let him know if his friends are here.". Patriot shrugged, sometimes he thought that Reus was a bit to strict but sometimes he did not, in the past whenever he did not trust Reus they always ended up in trouble so he had learned to listen to his captain mission by mission and now they were here, this was Patriot's most dangerous mission to this point. "However, we can tell you some stuff, like our names and what we do," Coughing, he continued to speak with his intimidating, almost scary tone of voice.

"My name's Reus, professional swordsman of the marines and captain of this trio. Been working in the marines for five years now.".

"My name's Alexei, been working in the marines for two years, professional tactician and strategist of the marines and Master Chief Petty Officer."

"My name's Patriot, as you can see I am not human and am in-fact a cyborg. I just blow shit up most of the time. Been working in the marines for a year now and I'm also a Master Chief Petty Officer."

The trio smiled for a bit, well, Alexei and Patriot did, Reus stayed very much emotionless, however, the smiling and introductions had to come to a halt due to the army of pirates they had straight in front of them. Shivers went down Patriot's spine and he stared menacingly into his opponent's eyes, a tinge of fear could be seen in his robotic eyes. Looking to Alexei for further instructions he stood still. Alexei rubbed his mustache very briefly and looked around the battlefield, the battlefield was very much nothing, just dirt. Due to Patriot's rockets and the explosion of the cannonball everything within thirty meters of the ship had been blown up to shreds, whatever was left was either burned or burning at the very moment. Due to the fact the Low Pirates had no cover whatsoever, Alexei had devised a plan. Taking his hand off of his mustache and putting it back into its regular position he informed the group about the plan. 

"Patriot, use one of your rockets once more but don't aim it directly in the middle of the group, don't even try hitting them, hit the front of the group but only the dirt. This will knockout a few enemies but at most seven. The dirt will rise into the air and possibly make it very hard to see. You two, Reus and Ryou, you guys can clean up the mess."

Patriot nodded while Reus stared at the group, Patriot thought the plan was great but Patriot always thought Alexei's plans were great, he had a perfect mind, at least that was what Patriot thought. With all the planning and introductions put behind, Patriot cocked his elbow at the dirt in front of them and fired up the rocket in his left arm, within a few seconds it launched and it zoomed at his opponents. One, two, three for and five seconds quickly passed and the rocket had made impact with the ground. More screams could be heard and the fire from the Low Pirates ship started spreading to the ground, was this Alexei's plan? Maybe he knew that the fire would quickly spread soon and the dust in the air would give the pirates only one or two options to choose from? Patriot had many plausible ideas to what Alexei's plan was but most of them were never right. "Well, Reus, Ryou, there you go."

"Ku-" Ryou started to answer before the second Marine cut him off and said that they shouldn't even let him know if his friend was on the ship. Well, that didn't do much for the traveler's lack of trust for any of them. He folded his arms across his chest and rolled his eyes, wondering if they were basically just here to make his life that much harder.

The swordsmen's name was Reus. He was the real jerk of the group, Ryou could tell already. No wonder he also happened to be the Captain. It seemed that only men that couldn't stand to be out of control of anything for even a little bit ended up rising up the ranks of the World Government from his experience in his travels so far. One of the other Marines was named Alexei, which sounded more like a girl's name to Ryou. He was a Master Chief Petty Officer. The last one, the cyborg, was named Patriot.

The three stooges grinned at him for a moment and Ryou just stood there with his arms still folded, looking rather unimpressed.

Luckily he didn't have to stare at their faces for very much longer, as almost right away he noticed that the pirates were headed straight for them. Well, this little mercenary mission had turned into a full scale war. He had to remind himself to never get caught up with Marines again. His body ached from the previous injuries that covered his body that had been layered with fresh ones but still he took his sword and readied himself for the assault.

The one man, who wasn't the leader, but still decided to shell out orders even to Ryou himself, who wasn't part of this band of morons, told Patriot to fire a rocket. But not at the enemies. In front of them. Well, that out to be super helpful.

Wanting to facepalm, but deciding that now might not be the best time while he was still outnumbered, Ryou shuffled away from them so that he could actually devise his own plan.

Mostly it was to let these guys take the front lead and to use them as human shields.

That sounded like a good idea. Ryou nodded his head so that it looked like he was agreeing with the "plan" but was really only telling himself that this was the best course of action. He let the pirates get closer, sword at the ready. When they came at him, he managed to cut down a few with some quick slashes to their stomachs. One came at him with a gun and tried to shoot at him from a distance, but Ryou cut back and around Reus and then came slashing at the man from the front, leaving a trial of red in his wake.

Without even pausing to see if Reus had been shot or not, Ryou rushed forward and around the pirates, taking out whichever ones cut away from the group to try to pursue him, but leaving the rest of them to straight up attack the Marines.

(Ryou's got his own agenda, hahaha. Sorry about that. ;D)

As the pirates started charging towards the marine group Patriot gained more information about Ryou. He wouldn't hesitate to speak but he wouldn't speak if it wasn't neccesary. When some of the pirates had reached the group Patriot stood studying Ryou and his skills, his swordsmanship was outstanding. At the end of his show he used Reus as a shield which he didn't like but then he quickly slashed the guy in the chest with his sword. After Ryou slashed that pirate he noticed he had a gun and he heard a gunshot a few seconds before, then he realized that the pirate that had just died due to a slash to the chest had fired a shot and it just happened that Reus wasn't moving. Did he get shot? Was he hurt? After a few seconds of standing still Patriot noticed that Reus was holding his swords unsheathed and it seemed like he had blocked the bullet. Patriot started to clap for Reus and Reus had a sly grin on his face but then Alexei started yelling at him. "You idiot! This is no time for clapping! Open your eye's and look in front of you!". Patriot nodded and stared at the pirates who looked like ants to him, Patriot towered over them, he was god and they were ants. But he didn't think of it like that, he thought everyone was equal and, never mind, forget this, let's get back to the action.

Patriot started to get ready for action as Reus started to back up and regain his breath, Alexei also started to back up and use Patriot as cover. Screams of war, courage and despair could be heard all along the bloody and torn battlefield that was littered with human parts. Patriot unsheathed Jiyuu, his longsword and just swung his sword from side to side with great force. The never ending army of the Low Pirates just seemed to walk into his sword and either get injured or die. After a few seconds passed a man tried jumping onto his sword and climbing up it but Patriot just shook it very lightly and he fell down to the ground, soon to be trampled by his fellow crewmates. Patriot didn't stop this process until they caught onto his plan and a man started shooting at him, all the shots missed but Patriot ran as far back as he could and took cover behind a tree. Patriot could have made the olympics, he was made of cybernetic parts but he didn't have the parts to run that fast, he guessed it was just natural. Reus and Alexei quickly looked behind him to assure themselves that Patriot wasn't coming back for a while and Alexei started to quickly devise a plan. Last time Patriot did this he didn't come back for around five minutes, it seemed like he was scared of bullets even though he was five hundred pounds of sheer metal and strength. Alexei knew that there was about fifty soldiers left and he needed to think fast. "Reus! You'll need to go dodge them and go through the side, utilizing your speed, Ryou, you can do the same! Hrm.. but we'll need some type of distraction..". Alexei looked around him until he spotted Patriot behind him who was slowly re-emerging from the canopy of undamaged trees. Alexei signalled him to come over with his hands, Patriot didn't want to but Alexei put his creepy face on and that forced Patriot to come over. If they didn't act fast they would be chopped liver and chopped metal.

"Listen, Patriot, you're going to distract them somehow, do something."

Patriot wasn't good at being put on the spot but he came up with something fast. He quickly stood in front of the group of quickly approaching pirates and then pressed a button on his stomach and a microphone came out of his stomach, he picked it up and spoke into it.

"Hey guys! Instead of fighting why don't we become friends and.."

"and.."

"and.."

"PARTY!"

He almost instantly pressed another button on his stomach and a disco ball came out of the small opening in his head, the a music system came out of his thigh and dubstep started to play. The pirates seemed to be confused and some even started to party, they could have been possibly drunk or just highly stupid. The partying was followed by facepalms from both Reus and Alexei, but at least it worked.

Maybe these Low Pirates weren't nearly as sophisticated as Ryou had been led to believe when he had first battled the Afro wearing pirate from before. The man with the bombs had been formidable and a good strategist. These men now seemed to be rushing forward, one sole purpose in mind and no formulation of plans behind their actions.

That was good for the already injured dark haired man. He cut across the battle field and made it to the ship's wooden plank. Just as he was about to ascend it, however, he stopped dead in his tracks. In front of hihttp://kurosaki59.chatango.com/?nbm was the large stature of the Afro wearing, bomb tossing Low Pirate member. He shook his head as he looked at Ryou, clearly shocked to see him even still alive after what he had done to him last time.

"I'm not so sure how you survived that blast from earlier, but I'm gonna make sure that you get blown to pieces this time to make sure the job is done, dokankankan!" laughed the man as he advanced toward the traveler. Despite there being some of his Nakama close by, the man whipped out a small sized bomb and lit the fuse.

"You know. It's probably NOT the best idea to throw that when there are so many of your friends around that could get hurt. And your ship is already a sad sight," Ryou advised but the Low Pirate just grinned broader.

"All these men are disposable anyway! What do I care? The Capn' always recruits new ones after their service is... No longer required." he said with a shrug of his big boned shoulders. He proceeded to toss the bomb in Ryou's direction.

Learning from his mistakes from last time, but still sore as he moved, his bandages already starting to redden with his blood as he reopened previous wounds, Ryou rushed past the bomb and behind Dokan.

"What the!" the man exclaimed as the bomb went off harmlessly, only taking out part of the ground surrounding it. Ryou had figured out that Dokan would never toss the bomb close enough to his own self to explode it in his face. He had a system of how far each small or large bomb needed to go before it could safely detonate away from him.
