NinE ○ A Disturbing Orphanage

[lily]

Kaito had entered the door and came out to a large tunnel. He walked blindly for a minute and accidentaly bumped into a wall. "Damn it!" He said as he poked at the bump on his nose from hitting his face against the side of the tunnel. "Maybe I should light this place up a little bit." Kaito generated a small, golfball size piece of coal from his hand and lit it on fire using the valves in his hand. "That's so much better" he said as he looked at his surroundings. It was a small tunnel that ended in another door that had the words "Hotels are for sleeping" on it. "Hmm, maybe all these clues on the doors have something to do with what to expect in here?" He walked up to the door and pushed it open without hesitation. Behind this door was another hallway just like the tunnel, but this time, it was bright, unlike the unlit tunnel. The wall was painted brown, and it also had a rug. Also, it had doors on its side, like it was some kind of a hotel hallway. Kaito immediately noticed the strange looking old man and said "Alright lets just get straight to the point." He put the piece of coal away "You're going to test me in some way I assume so bring it"

"That was pretty dumb, kid. You almost defeated me there. But, you were too big of a chicken. Heh," The woman taunted Mar after his failed attempt of an attack. Mar jumped back considering his options. That attack would have easyly finished this fight, and her life, but its just not right to attack her... Mar thought while watching the women prepare for anoher attack. The books rose in the air as commanded bit oddly just hovered there waiting for the next command of their master. Just hovering in mid air, which at any other moment in time would amaze Mar, but considering his sitaution, he had other things to think about.

" Learning Hurricane" The little old woman shouted out commanding the books to begin flying around as if they were a Hurricane. The books began to fly around faster and faster, and then they began to fly out towards Mar's position. Instince took over and made Mar grab his knives but then he stopped. What's the use? I can't attack, and defending will just draw out this fight... Mar thought as the blades slipped through his hand hitting the ground while the chains just fed through his hands.

Come on kid, is this all you got? The voice of his previous captain resinated within him. What?! Mar thought to himself wondering why he would be thinking about her at this moment, but then he began to relive a memory when he sailed under her flag.

---

As time changed under Mar's immagination, it changed to many years earlier on a large boat sailing on the north blue. The younger mar had just been challenged to a fight by his captain in which he had lost.

Hehehe, its always fun to mess with you, kid The women taunted Mar knowing full well he would never hit a woman or child. The women stood above mar and sent a hand down offering to help him to his feet. Mar grabbed the women's hand and quickly stood up. Looking upon the boat, the fight occured on the deck of the boat while the crew watched for intertainment purposes. Kid, what are you gonna do when your pinned against an opponent who is a women? Let me answer that your gonna get your a** kicked. The women told mar in a tone that was philosophical to the point where it annoyed mar. Mar had always hated this tone that his captain used at him, as if he was inferior, which he was but still hated it.

"Ill just avoid them" Mar spoke out, telling the captain of his plan knowing that it wouldn't suffice with the her, but it was is only option. Really? Well tell me how that works out. The captain began to walk away but felt a motherly feeling resonate within herself and turned around and watched Mar who was looking down towards the ground upset at what had just happened. The captain had felt this feeling alot around Mar when she had found him within one of the marine bases as a test subject for the scientists.

I'll tell you what kid, if you still abide by this silly rule of yours in the future and still happen to end up in a fight you don't wanna fight remember these words, There is always a way to end a fight without necessarly fighting. The captain the took off towards her captains quarters leaving Mar to ponder what had just been said to him.

---

Mar had just woken up from his trip down memory lane just seconds the before the books fell ontop of him. Winning a fight without fighting?... It might actually work Mar thought to himself quickly thinking of what to do. The books had fallen on the sky and down right on top of Mar.

Without a doubt the little old women had probably thought that she had won the fight, the attack was devistating, but the fight couldn't be won so easily. The little old women had probably let down her guard as the room went silentm except for a strange sound resinating through the air. "*Buzzzzz*" The strange noise sounded as if it were a chainsaw cutting through wood. Suddenly books and papers were sent flying through the air.

Just secods before the books hit their target, Mar had grabbed his weapons and began spinning them at a very fast speed. "Buzz Blade" Mar whispered to himself, inwhich he knew he would only hear as the women was hard of hearing. The papers and books were sent flying through the air into tiny pieces falling down to the ground as if it were freshly made snow. Slowly the blades began to stop moving as the old women's attack had stopped.

"Finally, time to stop messing around" Mar spoken out an a lower and raspier tone trying to scare the old women. Mar had flug his first blade at the old women, inwhich he had precisly thrown it so it would land mier inches away from her face. The blade pierced itself against the wall as it made its close incounter with the women. "Sorry, i guess my aim is off... Hopefully you had lived a long and fufilling life." Mar spoke out again in the same tone as before, acting as if he was a truly evil.

Mar had thrown his second weapon towards the women at a faster speed then the first one. So, if i can't fight this women, mabey i can just scare her to a point inwhich she faints. Mar had thought of a plan and quickly put it into action. Mar had no intentions of hurting the old women and planned to pull the chain back seconds before it would hit her. Hopefully she would take the bluff and fall unconsious leaving Mar to continue on his way towards the orphanage.

[Kurofushichō]

The bird man attacked, their strong wings boosted him against the strange man Cryful, which was still crying for nothing. His body was prepared to receive any type of damage. Even his hurt abdomen would stop him, he was decided to retrieve his precious black hat and finish the boy off. " What? I can hear again. His technique's effects are running out." His treasure was in enemy's hands but the swordsman didn't knew that, suddenly he heard something while advancing against Cryful, It was the sound of his hat been ripped without mercy

'' YOU! I TOLD YOU TO DON’T DO THAT! YOUR FUC*ING BASTARD! '' Slade said angrily.

His so beloved hat it was in Cryful dirty hands, the swordsman dramatically increased his speed and he began to transform again. The huge black bird was changing his form to a creature that broke down barriers between humans and animals, the hybrid form, his beak was still there, but his wings were modified in the form of sharp claws, but could still fly.

His speed was incredible, but suddenly he changed his wings position, but why? He used his speed to approach from Cryful that was coming in his direction. He used his wing like a parachute. Cryful approached more and more but it was too late for him, then Slade amassed a vast amount of energy and shouted '' Don’t touch my treasure never more!!! Raven Model: Raven Song '' A very high sound wave spread throughout the room. It was a so agonizing sound that normal ears couldn't stand it. Normal ears would bleed until the opponent's defeat. And while the opponent was suffering, the half human/half raven moved against him trying to grab Cryful's neck with his sharp claws.

[Mikan]

Robin looked back at the group, after her last sentence. Her morbid sentence that somehow stopped the group. It's not the sentence, but it was the Skypiean. She was having some kind of breakdown. Robin slowly turned around, a calm expression on her face. The heels of her shoes were the only sounds she can hear, as she walked towards her. Robin narrowed her eyes, and asked herself what happened. She never got a real answer. All the answers she told herself were mere hypothesis of what happened with Estelle.

Some kind of trauma? Did my comment bothered her?, Robin answered herself, thinking of things that would make sense of what was happening. She thought that Estelle needed something to comfort her, so she quickly toucher her shoulders, and patted her back.

"It's fine. I was merely joking. Besides, if something bothered you, and I somehow gave you an image of the bodies, just forget it. It's all in the past," she said in a calm gentle noise. She quickly offered her hand to her. Whether she accept this offer or not, she really didn't care. As long, as she stopped having this fit. She doesn't like people in pain.

After the small commotion, Robin started walking again. She didn't do anything, just walked on and on until they saw the gloomy orphanage. From the distance, Robin can see the metal fencing that surrounds the mansion. A humongous black metal gate on the center. The top of the fences, and the gate was shaped like a knife. Maybe for intruders, but nonetheless, it could hurt anyone if they dare jump off, or go inside by climbing. Behind the gate was a small dirt path leading to the orphanage. Surrounding the path was grasses, and trees. Robin only saw the second-floor windows, because of the trees. Robin quickly walked her way there, and slowly looked at the mansion.

She slowly moved her hand, wanting to touch the gate, but before she can do that, an old woman slowly stopped her.

"Don't go in that cursed building," the woman said in a spooky tone. Like she intended her sentence to be some kind of horror story. The woman was dressed in a small pink dress. She had an eye patch, covering her left eye. Her white hair tied. She also had a staff which is taller than her. The woman was small. She stands about three feet, and she had to look up as she talk to Robin.

"Excuse me?," Robin said politely.

"That orphanage is where that wacko, Steinfield, lives. It wasn't the same back when Grandielle, the last head of the Alexandra Orphanage, managed it," she said in her normal voice, looking at the orphanage..

"Stein re-decorated the mansion to his will. If you ever set foot on that mansion, you will never get out again," the woman said, quickly walking back.

Robin looked at the mansion, then looked back where the woman was. The old woman disappeared in thin air. Robin looked back at the mansion, and thought of the old woman. Robin looked down, disappointed. She wanted to ask more questions.

"What? I didn't hear you, you hot stud," Miranda said, pretending not to hear what Jack said about her being a monster. She looked back to see Jack inviting her to attack. Miranda's eyes turned into pink hearts. She interpreted the attack invitation as a love invitation. Tears slowly came out of her eyes, which no one can see, since her big lips covered her entire face.

"Y-you're so romantic," Miranda said, as she put back her butcher knife on her back. In her back was a strap where she keeps her different tools to cut. She slowly took out her strap, telling Jack that she doesn't want to fight.

All of a sudden, she started to blush, and giving him kissy signs. She winked at him, while slowly taking off her apron. When she was done taking it out, Miranda revealed her white shirt, and white pants to him. The pants and the shirt were revealing, showing off her cleavage, and her hair legs.

"I don't like starting it. Since you're a man, why don't you attack first?," she said, winking at him. At her dictionary, attack meant the romantic type of attack. But his opponent's dictionary was a more serious one, where attack, really means, "attack".

○O○

The old man looked at the young man, full of himself. The man spit as he looked at him.

"You're an energetic one, aren't you?," the old man said, quickly nodding. He has no beard whatsoever, but he made an action where he was stroking his beard.

"I don't have any special powers like the rest of my colleagues, but, I do have this special room," the man said, looking at the doors, then at the man, and then slowly nodding once again, stroking his imaginary beard.

"The name's Gecklor, and I'm the guard of the "Hotel Room". Go ahead kid, why don't you try attacking me?," the man invited him, grinning. Before Kaitou could try attacking though, the man slowly pointed the left door next to Kaitou.

There were 10 doors in the hallway. Any of them did not face another door in front of them. It started with the left door (where Kaitou was an inch away), then right, and it continues until the 10th door. On the left wall, there was five doors, and on the right was five.

Gecklor quickly pointed at the 1st door on the left. He, then, made a move with his finger that he was using to point at the door. The door opened, and sharpen armors came out like it was thrown out of the room. Everything sharp came out, quickly hitting the right wall. From knives to javelin, they all came, until the wall cannot handle any more knives. At that point, the 1st door closed.

The man grin to himself, looking at Kaitou. While slowly, once again, stroking his imaginary beard.

○O○

"Hotel Corridor" Room: Gecklor's room and its abilities.

vs.

Kaito Akiyoshi

Start!

○O○

Just like every room, the red squared room Aya came in had a tunnel leading into another room. A poorly lit tunnel. It had a burning candle at the start, and another one at the end. At the end of the corridor was another door like the one Aya came in. The last door had the phrase - "Go on you know you want to on it. This door had a whole different one with - "Go back, you DO NOT want to go in here, contradicting what the phrase said on the other door.

If Aya dares enter this room, she will find herself in a white spacious room. In the center was a small bed for one. An okama sleeping on it, muttering the words - "Women are hot, Women don't rot. Women likes me, and I'll open them with my key," then rashly laughing in a weird phrase - "Bonanananana,". The okama is a man wearing blue dress with floral prints on it. He was wearing very thick make up, and his hair was a mess.

The old woman with a body of a five year old, looked at the man in an intrigued fashion. She wondered how or where he got the courage to fight her. Last time she checked, the man that was in front of her was too much of a chicken to punch a small kid with an eighty year old woman mindset. She sighed, then jumped from the desk.

"Okay, then. Why don't you attack me if you can?," the woman asked Mar, gently tapping his shoulders. The woman was on top of Mar. She landed on his head without any problems. She smiled, and then jumped off his head unto the desk. Her back facing Mar.

"You can punch me, or kick me. I don't care. Because this is a-," she stopped slowly turning around. She had this tough expression on her, and her tone changed. "A fight. Only one of us can come out of that door," she continued in a harsh tone. Her squeaky tone long gone. She pointed at the door far away from them.

"Don't think of sneaking out. That door's locked. And that's your key to going further on this orphanage. Only one of us can go," the old woman said, slowly turning away from Mar.

○O○

Cryful looked at the man turned raven. He had a very angry expression on him. Cryful started crying as a response. "Okay, okay. I'll throw it away. You don't have to call my fingers dirty," Cryful said sympathetically, simply throwing out. Cryful threw it unto the wall, and the hat quickly disappeared as it made contact with the wall.

"Oops. I think I lost it," Cryful said, crying once again. His tears streaming down his neck. His dirty shirt all wet from the tears. He crossed his hands in an X shaped, reminding the raven man about his "ability" - the "Verderine".

Before Cryful can move any further, though, the raven cried out a sound that temporarily took out Cryful's sense of hearing. Cryful quickly put his hands on his ears. His claws now gone, just to protect his ear from exploding. Cryful saw that the raven was starting to attack. Cryful quickly manipulate the green goop on the ground to make a green wall to protect him from the raven man's attack.

Cryful quickly fell down on the floor, his hands on his ears.

"Damn it," Cryful said, his tears slowly drying off.

Fukunawa and his men were done. Done eating, that is. Stein quickly got up from his seat, and told Augustus to sleep. Augustus refused, but Stein insisted. At the end, Augustus finally give in. As Stein leads Augustus in his room with September, the rest of the month captains settled down on the couch near the dining room. All of them full of the food they just ate.

A pound from the door near the room where the month captains busily settled in disturbed the atmosphere. That easy-going atmosphere surrounding the captains. The door quickly opened up revealing Pluto. Pluto looked at them and they looked back. Pluto and March had a calm expression, while the rest of the month captains looked at him in fear, and some of them glared at him. Pluto didn't mind, and slowly came out of the room.

July, looked at the battle injuries thinking of that gorilla man he met at Mirrorball Island. He balled up his fist, and looked at March.

"March. I'm sorry. I lost," July said looking away. March didn't say anything. He was looking at the windows. He heard him. He nodded at himself. July saw it, and interpreted it as "it's fine". March was looking down on the gate. She saw Nico Robin, and everyone else on her group. She also saw the old woman, disappear into thin air.

"This is boring," March said quickly turning away from the window, slowly closing his eyes to sleep on the chair he was sitting on.

April and May were playing with each other, while February, and December slept on the couch.

They were all taking it easy, because after this, that plan is going to take place.

That plan that can easily shake the whole world.

Another pound came from the door, and a woman came in.

"Hello, kids," the woman said, grinning.

April looked up, and greeted her with a hello.

February asked what she was doing here. The woman giggled, then explained it to them.

"I didn't want to fight them. So, I just sent them into the demon squad's way," the woman explained.

"August, you lazy bitc-," February said but was stopped short, when August slapped him.

"I'm not lazy," August said, quickly appearing near February.

"Okay, no need to slap me!," February yelled at her, putting a hand on his face. August merely laughed at this.

March didn't even bother to open his eyes to see August. He quickly drifted to sleep.

[Kurofushichō]

Slade had an angry expression, the boy had ripped his hat a little what infuriated him a lot. He wasn't blind anymore; he could see the boy touching in his precious hat, Slade was determined to recover it at any cost. Cryful had possession of his treasure he made a big mistake, he threw the black hat inside of the wall '' My hat! Prepare yourself Cryful I will show no mercy ''. The swordsman forget that the boy was deaf, his Raven Song worked and Cryful attacks had been cancelled. He was serious and started moving quietly to catch him by surprise.

'' In two minutes prepare to visit the truly Hell…'' He smiled. His eyes weren’t like before; he wanted to kill the boy.

A paint wall prevented Slade from attacking him previously, but nothing would stop his desire to finish off the boy. '' Probably you shouldn’t be listening now… But in one minutes your hearing will back, but will come very, very fragile and then you will understand the meaning of Hell…'' He said still angry. Slade slowly picked up their swords, the Wakizashi and one of the black scimitars. Cryful was no longer deaf, then cruelly Slade uses his Wakizashi as a tuning fork and hits the sword against the scimitar, a agonizing sound began to be propagated once again '' I had already used this movement on you… Your ears are too sensible, this sensibility increases my attacks 5x … Should I sing for you again? '' ruthlessly the half human/half raven used the same technique again, the Raven Song Technique spread thought the room again. Slade had never used this technique twice, Cryful's ears would be the key for his defeat?

[marlord]

The little old women had called Mar's bluff and had easily escaped it making Mar look like a fool. The woman had jumped away from the attack with ease and landed ontop of his head. She taunted him, probably knowing that he had no full intention of attacking her. She then jumped off his head and landed several feet in front of him. "You can punch me, or kick me. I don't care. Because this is a fight. Only one of us can come out of that door The women and turned around and spoken to him in all seriousness.

Finally Mar had realized that even that he thought it was disrespectful to hit a woman or child, that it was worse to take pity on them if they are willing to fight. He was being disrespectful towards the old women, even though he had no intentions for it. "Sorry."Mar began appologizing to the old women while pulling his blades out of the wall. Mar still hated the idea of fighting but, she was his enemy and was putting a ultimatium infront of him, life or death. Only one will walk out that door, so putting everything aside, it had to be him. Mar had walked towards his opponent and had taken his fighting stance.

"If you wanna fight, I'll give you a fight while holding nothing back." Mar had began to speak out, warning the old women as he began to change forms into his hybrid gorilla/human form. Fur had began to grow out of his arms, legs,chest and face, while his muscles easily doubled in size. Once the transformation was complete Mar had wasted no time in his assault. Mar had rushed his opponent at a speed faster than old women had seen Mar attain so far. Reaching the old women, mar was tempted to stop right there, dead in his tracks, but he had to keep focus that she was his enemy and not an old women.

Mar had sent a quick knee at the women's chin, which was innetionally intended for his gut, but because of her size it was impossible to hit. As the women became airborn for the split second kneed her, mar had put his arms above his head and balled his hands into a fist and sent them crashing down on the old women's back, sending her straight for the ground. The sound of her once she made contact with the ground was devistating, whether the noise came from her body or the ground was a mystery but the assault wasn't over yet. As the women layed on the ground, Mar was already ready for what was to happen next, pulling his leg back, Mar kicked straight out at the women hitting her square in the gut sending her flying across the room.

As the fight continued on it stayed completely silent, just as a library should be, which seemed ironic as a fight broke out. At anyother moment in time Mar would laugh as he would find it funny, but he couldn't now, he had to keep his full attention on the old women, as she deserved it. As she had said before, Only one person will be walking out that door, and as long as Mar had anything to say about it it was going to be him. So if he was forced to stop this old women, he would give her his undivided attention. Mar had returned to his fighting stance as he waited to see what the women would do next.

[lily]

The old man introduced himself as Gecklor and kept stroking an invisible beard. He then quickly pointed at the 1st door on the left of Kaito. He, then, made a move with his finger that he was using to point at the door. The door opened, and sharpen armors came out like it was thrown out of the room. Everything sharp came out, quickly hitting the right wall. From knives to javelin, they all came, until the wall cannot handle any more knives. At that point, the 1st door closed.

"Sorry old man." Thought Kaito "You're not going to beat me" he said as he ran forward towards the old man "I can't beat the speed of those spears but I can turn into coal before they reach me." He was gaining speed at this point "I need to attack before though since if all I can do is defend then i will never win!" Kaito took a giant step, crouched down and leaped as high as he could into the air. He put his arm up, aiming it at Gecklor. "Sekitan Hou!" He yelled as he shot out three soccer ball sized lumps of coal were shot out at Gecklor like a cannon ball.

[Mikan]

Cryful cried for real, this time. Cryful actually smiled when he got his sense of hearing back, but the next one clearly erased it completely. Another sound wave attack. Cryful, unfortunately, heard the attack, and completely fell on his knees. His eyes white from pain, and tears, which he can't hold back this time, slowly rushed out of his sockets. He fell down on the floor, unconscious of the attack.

The green paint floating in mid-air quickly flew back into the wall. Victor's hat suddenly appeared on the ground, like nothing happened. Though the rip Cryful made was still intact. The battle was done. Cryful was defeated.

But, the green room wasn't done yet. Think of the rooms as an animal. The demon squad members are those that tame them. These rooms are powerful, because of their usage. Cryful's room is one heck of a powerful room. The fact that the green paint, and the sense drugs are manipulated by the guard, this room is impenetrable. Unless, of course, the guard is defeated, because of their ability to use the room more wisely. The room and its owner can be compared to that of a lion and a tamer. When a tamer's defeated, there's still another to defeat - the lion itself.

The room started to move once again like it did the first time. It moved like it was some kind of ripple on the water, circular, and forming again and again. The green paint suddenly came out of the wall, like what happened before. The green paint, now floating in mid-air, started to move uncontrollably in a much faster speed. If one tries to touch it, one can simply lose their finger because of the friction it made. Suddenly, the moving green paint started to move towards the raven man, while going out of control.

The old woman with the appearance of a small lady looked at the man as he slowly transformed into a much hairier, and much powerful beast. The woman's jaw completely dropped into the ground. She never knew that he had a devil fruit on him, that's why. As she slowly takes in the situation, the hairy man started to lunge at her. But, the problem was, she couldn't really see her. Somehow, he disappeared out of nowhere. The woman completely off guard, started to look around for the man. She never knew that the man was lunging at her from the front. She really didn't see it.

The man quickly appeared at her front, and she quickly yelled in disbelief. And then, she got that kick from the beast which made her fly upwards. The impact of the kick made her cough up blood. Then, he re-appeared next to her, and punched her. The punch propelled her body unto the ground with a loud sound.

But, then, she wasn't really finished quite yet. After all, the battle was just starting. She was just getting into it. With her right hand, she quickly stood up. Blood coming out of her mouth.

"Nice one, kid," she complimented. As she did, she raised her left hand. All the books scattered on the ground quickly opened up in front of Mar. The books started to link with each other making a big hole on the middle, and as it did, it quickly collapsed on top of Mar, completely missing him. Mar was inside the hole the books created. The books started to circle him, and it created a small hurricane.

"Paper Mache," the woman screamed in pain, as she slowly get up. The papers on the book quickly ripped themselves out of their books, and started to propel inside the small hurricane. The hurricane made the paper propel up in a circular motion, along with the hurricane. This will cut Mar's skin, with the power of paper cut.

"You don't get me, huh?," Gecklor said confidently, giving him a grin. A door quickly appeared in front of Kaitou, and it opened up completely taking in his attack.

Then, it spat it all out directly unto him.

"The 2nd door = Space," Gecklor said, menacingly. The first door on the right wall disappeared, and it quickly re-appeared in front of Kaitou. That was what happened.

"I'll show you the real power of my doors," Gecklor said in a threatening tone. He slowly, once again, stoked his beard as he direct the doors with one hand.

He quickly pointed to the first door, and it disappeared, like what happened to the second one. It quickly appeared on Kaitou's back. The door opened, and it spat lots of sharp utensils. From forks to knives, this time.

"Die, punk," he said grinning, stroking his imaginary beard.

[/size]

[Die]

"It's fine. I was merely joking. Besides, if something bothered you, and I somehow gave you an image of the bodies, just forget it. It's all in the past," said Robin in a calm and gentle voice as she attempted to calm Estelle down.

Her words would fall on deaf ears, as the mental anguish progressed. At the apex of the pain, everyone's voices seemingly muffled and disappeared. A winged figure with a halo over his head appeared in a flash of light, a flash of light only Estelle saw. He wore the outfit of a carpenter, tools still attached to his belt. Stepping forward, he knelt down in front of Estelle, and hugged her, holding her head close to his chest, saying naught a word.

To everyone around her, Estelle did not budge. The mysteriously ghostly and angelic figure seemed to have a alleviating effect on Estelle's breakdown. To the others, it looked as if Robin's words had a profound effect on her, but in reality, they did not.

The staggered breathing coming from Estelle stopped as she took off one hand from her head. Slowly rising to her feet, she continued on as if nothing had happened. As she caught up with Robin, she saw that she was talking to an old woman, who warned her about the mansion and this Mr. Steinfield.

"Stein re-decorated the mansion to his will. If you ever set foot on that mansion, you will never get out again," the woman said, quickly walking back.

"Chih. A million beri says I will get out," muttered Estelle under her breath. Once the woman was gone, Estelle looked over to Robin. "So what now? Can we just break in?"

“Ugh…oh…” Jack fell to his knees as his face twisted in pain thinking about the unimaginable things that would happen to him if he didn’t defeat this person and leave the room. Just when he thought things couldn’t get any worse the woman dropped her weapons claiming that she didn’t want to fight.

"I don't like starting it. Since you're a man, why don't you attack first?,"

Jack shuddered as the woman placed her weapon away and began giving him all the signals that he wished women of a much more aesthetically pleasing disposition would give him. What the hell is she thinking? Jack thought as he struggled to keep himself from retching on the floor from the horrific scene that he was witnessing; he never allowed things such as looks get in the way of fighting, but he simply couldn’t ignore it in this instance. Then his head dropped so that his eyes were no longer visible from underneath his tufts of dark hair that sat messily on his head and placed his open weapon back in its strap. Shadows replaced his eyes as his mouth formed into a cruel grin. He walked up to the woman and embraced her with his right hand while whispering into her ear,

“…I’m glad I found a piece of a*s like yers…” he said in a low, direct tone. With his left hand he quickly unsheathed the Tantō that was hidden in the opposite end of the sheath at his back. In one swift fluid motion he drove the small dagger like blade up towards her torso and attempted to rip it through to her lungs; the price of getting distracted in a life or death struggle was death. Jack learned that lesson all too well in Saint Reia and was glad to have the opportunity to teach it to someone else.

The sound had spread throughout the extension of the room, from Slade’s beak echoed an agonizing sound. That was the first time he used this technique twice, honestly he didn’t know what could happen to him after using the Raven Song. The technique worked, Cryful had been defeated and Slade’s hat had returned normally. ‘’ Finally I did it… ‘’ The swordsman back to his normal form as nothing had happened, but something was wrong, he was severely wounded in his abdomen by Cryful’s attack. He needed to deal quickly, and then move on. The wall started moving and the green paint, which was in the wall, suddenly began floating.

‘’ What the hell is that! Cryful had been defeated… Sh*t that hurts ‘’ He said with his hand on the abdomen. The paint was alive? Then the green paint started to move towards Slade’s direction.

The room master had been defeated but the room itself, not. Slade needed to go to the door next to him, but now a new battle started. He quickly grabbed his hat and placed it over his head, and then he kept his Wakizashi. He took possession of his long and black scimitars and increased his speed, then he jumped ‘’ Let’s finish this… Monster… ‘’ he held a series of cuts over the ink, he was trying to divide the monster in parts to distract him while he reach the door.

Honestly, Robin had no idea how to get in. But, she's willing to bust in, if there's no other choice. Robin sighed thinking that this situation was troublesome, and waited for something to happen. She looked at the gate, and asked herself to find something of use to get to the other side. Maybe a doorbell, or a handle to get in. But, there was no such thing on the gate. She thought of just busting in, and would have said it to the Skypiean. She slowly turned around to face Estelle, and as she did, the gate slowly opened up to them. Robin looked back to see it open almost all the way.

"I guess they're expecting us," Robin said calmly. But isn't this suspicious, she thought to herself, narrowing her eyes at the gate, and the brown path that leads to the door. She decided to test if the path was alright. She put her hands on her chest, crossing each other, making an X shape with her arms.

"Trente Fleur, Delphinium," Robin said, her eyes lit up ready for anything that's going to happen with her attack. Arms sprouted from the dirt path while more sprouted until it made a way on the door. Robin quickly put down her hands, which made her arms disappear.

"I guess it's safe. Nothing happened to my arms just now," Robin said cautiously. She started to walk straight to the door, as she thought of different possibilities of what's happening with the orphanage, or what happened.

Miranda's heart couldn't take it anymore. The unexpected hug, and his aggressive words. He's just his ideal type, she thought, blushing. She quickly hugged the man as well, kissing him with her huge lips. But it was all just a trap. A trap of love, that is. The man quickly attacked her, slowly cutting her into half. Miranda let go of the man, and started to walk backwards. Blood, lots of it, came out of the wound the man gave her. She started to cough up blood.

"Wh-what are you doing?," Miranda said innocently. She really thought they were in love. Miranda's fist quickly turn into a ball. She was clearly mad for betraying her love. Tears started streaming down her eyes, unto her lips.

"I-I though you really loved me," Miranda said as she slowly raised her arms. The bodies of the children quickly got up. The multiple legs on the floor, the bloody hands quickly stood up. The heads of the children who died in Miranda's hands quickly opened their eyes. As it did, it quickly floated unto the bodies, attaching itself unto it. Until, the whole back of the room is full of these attached bodies of the children.

"I don't like being on or controlling this room, since it's so creepy. But it's my gift, right?," Miranda said to herself, quickly pointing to the Jack. The children attacked to these several body parts quickly ran to Jack, lunging at him. Their hands quickly transformed into a huge knife. As they jump to the air, aiming for Jack's head, they tried finishing the job as they slashed the air with their huge knife sending multiple attacks to Jack.

What Victor did was wise. The green goop fell to the floor like it did the last time. But, it started moving again slowly meeting up with the other goops that Victor did by cutting them up. They slowly combined together into a big green paint. It took them a while, enough time for Victor to have a flashy exit unto the next stage, to combine every goop moving on the room.

As they finished re-grouping, they quickly moved once again in an uncontrollable manner, slowly moving towards the swordsman. Clearly, they want the swordsman dead.

Kaito wasn't expecting all of the doors to have different powers so when the second door (or first door on his right) came in front of him and took his Sekitan Hou's he was surprised. This is why and how he was caught of guard enough when they came flying back out at him. The first one he wasn't ready for at all as it flew directly into his stomach making him wince in pain. The second one also hit him in the chest. He was ready for the third one though as he managed to turn his body into coal. This caused the shattered piece to bounce off and shatter on the ground producing coal dust near Gecklor. Kaito was falling backwards as he noticed the sharp utencils flying towards him. Luckily most of his body had transformed into Coal at this point and he was able to take the attack. He broke into tiny pieces but quickly reformed and thought "Man am I luckily, If I hadn't been pushed backwards by that attack I never would've seen the utensils coming" He took a deep breath and said "So I assume all 10 of those doors have different abilites? If the first one is for attacking and the second one if for defence there must be a pattern am I correct Old man Gecklor?" Kaito once again started charging but this time he kept the lower part of his body (From head down) in coal form. Then he shot out 5 more Sekitan Hou's.

“Che…” Jack murmured softly as he heard the betrayed protests of the woman as she stumbled away from him. Watching her movements he saw that her hand began to move with purpose rather than the spasmic movements of a dying person and quickly sheathing the hidden Tanto, the young man braced himself for an impending attack. What happened next he couldn’t have seen coming in a thousand years.

“Huh?” he grunted more bewildered than afraid as the hacked body parts that had been lying strewn across the room began to attach themselves to the corresponding pieces until they formed whole bodies. Before Jack knew it he was surrounded by an army of zombie children who immediately leaped into the air with their weapons slashing downward upon him.

“You are one WIIEEERRDDD-a*s, b*tch…” he coarsely commented as he reached behind his head on the left side to draw out his tsrugi sword and angled it in front of him as the assaulting children closed in on him with their attacks. Closing his eyes he then shifted the blade quickly to his right side just outside of his vision while focusing his energies,

“Ittoryu: Hachigairuten!” he bellowed in deep voice as his muscles responded and his attacks quickly began countering the attacks with slashes that cut through the soft metal of the weapons the children came at him with. Before long the weapons had broken and the children were now the targets themselves. Hoping this attack would overwhelm them, Jack knew that he would win as long as the children didn’t kill him; the woman’s wound was deep enough were she would simply bleed to death.

It was difficult to show any residual concern for a young lady who seemed to walk off her own ailment so easily. Jun did stop to at least wait for her as she went down in throes of agony, but when Estelle stood back up and continued forward, the Scribe couldn't help but shrug, unsure of what to do if anything at all. He eventually settled upon just forgetting it for now, as the female herself seemed to, instead focusing on catching up to Robin and her new old woman friend at the gate.

"Stein re-decorated the mansion to his will. If you ever set foot on that mansion, you will never get out again."

"Chih. A million beri says I will get out."

"I'm not sure anybody has that kind of money sitting around for a bet, miss," Jun couldn't help but comment as he approached the rather ominous looking structure from Robin's right. One of his boots rose up at his will and pressed against it slowly, pushing in a half-hearted manner a dozen or so times to test the gate's strength. At the same time, he couldn't help but be struck by how unfriendly the whole place seemed, sharp and spiked fence-toppers and all.

"So what now? Can we just break in?"

"Well, jumping over it would probably be ill-advised. What other choice to we ha-" Before Jun could finish however, the slow creek of a hinge alerted the entire group to the now open pathway. The writer couldn't help but feel more than a bit suspicious as well, but with Robin having tested it and currently pressing on... What else could he do.

"I guess its safe. Nothing happened to my arms just now."

"Safe up until we get inside in any case..." Instinctively, a hand used normally for writing rested upon the pole of Jun's glaive, ready to draw ink of a different sort. Just. In. Case.
