Frozen Escape

[izekio]

Zeki slowly woke up head pounding wrist cuffed, ankles shackled.The cold stone floor under him.Deep Freeze Ice Nine's frozen prison and polar bears guard the place.Not the place for a 16 year old boy.Zeki finally got a grip on reality standing up then stumbling into the iced wall then sliding down it."Stupid marines getting all mad because I insulted them and the World Government."Zeki said under his breath as a guard walked over with two loaves of bread then slid the tray through the slot then walked off without saying a witty remark about the prisoners.Zeki walked over to the loaves of bread picking up both the bread were frozen solid and harder than rock"Hey boy give me mine!"A raspy voice came from the shadow filled corner making the boy jump after calming down he tossed the loaf to the old man."Why is a young fella like you in this prison?"The old man was asking while Zeki tapped the bread against the wall."I nearly killed a marine with his own boot,insulted the World Government.I mean I just broke his nose and broke half of his rib cage."He replied ever so casually then broke the loaf in half.

Zeki started grinding one half against the wall sharpening the point then did the same to the other"What are you planning on doing boy?"The old man asked quizzically then went back to warming up his bread.Zeki got closer to the bars then peeked out left and right seeing no guards patrolling the area.The boy took one half of the frozen bread and stuck it in between the bars and into the lock then fiddled with it for a second breaking the lock and opening the cell door."Theres your answer Gramp's!"Zeki said a grin popped up on his face.He picked up the other half of the bread still frozen.Zeki carefully walked down the corridor seeing his frozen breath in front of him.Slowly he got towards a split in the corridor one towards the evidence room and the other up and out."Time to get my stuff back"He whispered to himself as soon he said that a polar bear came lumbering through the exit door with evidence on its back when it spotted Zeki."Seriously a polar bear!"

There was this brief second between Zeki and the polar bear had till they rushed each other getting closer Zeki slid going right under the bear and impaling the frozen bread into the belly of the beast then used the wall as a stop."That should stop him for a while"He gruffed out wiping the blood from his face and watched the bear fall to the ground in pain.Zeki ran down the rest of the corridor and took the right to the evidence room."Yesterday's evidence is right here!"Zeki said then grabbed his stuff putting on his daggers,cloak,and pendants.Zeki began to walk out towards exit and into the cold bolting through the snow covered land in any direction.

(OOC:I'm not sure if they have local jails for the citizens.)

The smell of cigarettes and hookers drenched the air in Captain Travis Solomon’s office. He was a lecherous fellow who favored the more carnal pleasures in life, ignorant of the consequences of his actions. This was due to the relative isolation of Ice Nine, dubbed the “Ninth Circle” by many criminals who once made their home in these hellish walls. It was a just nickname in itself, for those that entered would never leave. Travis Solomon made sure of that, being their judge, prosecutor, and executioner wrapped into one. In many ways he was the devil himself, having no tolerance for insubordination or failure. The thought of a promotion did little for the man, as then he wouldn’t be able to continue ruling over Ice Nine with an iron fist as he had before.

Most days now though, he found himself choked up in boredom over the little activity that transpired in the past few months. He was ecstatic at the thought of new meat to play with. Thumbing the gold coins in his wallet, the man was half asleep in a profound stupor. Suddenly however, the eager Captain overheard an awfully loud ruckus coming from down the hall. “Finally some goddamn excitement in this place.” As he sat up from his recliner, a wicked smile lit up his face, his mouth curling into a pair of rat tails. The one thing he hated above all else in this prison, besides criminals were the numerous checkpoints that lined the prison front to back. This made moving throughout the prison a hassle; though it was a trifle in regards to the “justice” he would be able to carry out.

Making way to the front entrance, was Solomon encircled by masses of cowering marines. Chaos was such a pesky thing, it made everything unruly and awkward. “Get out of my way!” he bellowed, before cutting down anyone and anything in his path with his zanbato. Spying a loose prisoner in the distance, he made chase being sure to catch the man before he had a chance to escape.

Zeki viewed the surrounding area seeing nothing but white when the wind dimmed down to were he was able to see the 12 foot tall ice wall"You've got to be kidding me AGAIN!"the boy said then heard sirens then looked over his shoulder to see some marines cower and some start to run towards him.As he ran he saw a man cut down his allies and shove them out of his way and began to run after him with a zanbato."Seriously a giant meat cleaver!"Zeki thought as soon he got closer to the wall a bullet flew by his face digging into the snowy ground.Zeki could obviously see where it came from as marines sat atop of the ice wall and at the gate checkpoint rifles trained on him.

Zeki stopped in his tracks obviously being surrounded and the frozen gates closing keeping the boy began to plan"Alright so I'm surrounded their numbers probably go above 200 tops so what I need to do is take the man in charge hostage...that's not gonna be easy" .A quick flicker of movement was seen out of the corner of Zeki's eye it was one of a marine's as he rushed towards the boy gushing with over confidence just because he was fighting a mere boy sword raised high that was huge mistake.A grin spread across the boys face Zeki ducked under the swing then spun backwards with his left fist coming down and smashing the tip of the marines spinal cord.Slowly the marine went into shock on the way down Zeki grabbed the man's head and rammed into his knee.This completely pushed the bone in his nose into his brain killing him.Zeki's grin stayed on his face as the snow around him turned red.

Some marines began to cower from Zeki even more some even running back to the prison."I think no one should try that again it almost scared me!"Zeki shouted so that all could hear then let out a fake sigh of relief the grin faded into a quick smirk.A gun shot rang through the air a bullet flew down toward Zeki grazing his left arm the boy shouted in pain then gently touched his left arm were the bullet had grazed him.As the man with the zanbato got closer to him Zeki pulled out his daggers then entered a fighting stance.

With his prey in sight, he could feel it. It was a natural reaction to his body’s fight or flight instincts, an adrenaline rush. Blood coursed throughout his skull, his heart rate elevated to an enormous rate. His pupils had become dilated as if he were a fearsome predator, his eyes dead on their mark. The captain’s breathing had hastened which would indicate feelings of nervousness or fear, but he was in his element. “I’ve been waiting for this for a long, long time. Don’t die too quickly.” the man’s words seemed to drag on for ages spoken behind certain superiority. “Desk duty just doesn’t suit me.” his assuredness was pitiful, it was awfully apparent. His spoken word felt like many painful needles being jammed in one’s ears his tone abhorrent, his appearance even less pleasing.

The lecherous captain hadn’t a liking for people, though he did fancy combat. He fancied it so much that often it was confused with a death wish, though they were wrong. His sadism had reached a new level as of late, boredom being the catalyst. This fight would no doubt take a while, a long one at that. God help the poor boy, for he was in for a rather slow and maniacally plotted death. Travis Solomon’s mind was a juxtaposition of two opposing values, ironically so he would be sure to carry out both. After all, rehabilitation just didn’t suit him.

His nostrils flared, the young captain charged the young boy. Overestimation was for idiots, he’d used to say. Fire had begun to set in the captain’s eyes, nothing now short of divine intervention would be able to separate him from his mission. “This’ll be fun.” he thought with childlike excitement clear on the man’s face. The captain’s cheeks were flushed with exuberance at his muse.

Zeki's blood pumped the instinct to kill anything lesser than him kicked in spreading a grin across his face.Zeki suppressed his urge to use his devil fruit as he started to walk then run to his prey."Im gonna wipe the floor with this guy but I have to avoid the over sized butcher knife."He thought to himself as marine stepped into his war path.Zeki jumped into the air pivoting forward and bringing his heel down onto the mans head feeling bones in his neck snap under pressure.The boy landed like a feather as the man dropped to the ground foaming out of his mouth."Anyone else want to try something risky so they can end up dead!"Zeki shouted out as he crouched and drew his daggers then bounded forward off his heels.Zeki bolted at the captain of the base getting ready to attack.

"The only way I'm going to escape easily is by using my abilities and either scale the wall or bolt through the door in full form"Zeki formulated his plan as he got closer and closer the frozen wind opposing him as he ran within a few feet of the captain.His vision focused on the man now clearly seeing that he had a similar devilish grin on his face.His hearing sharpened now hearing his breath and his boots crunching up the under his feet.Closer and closer Zeki neared the man the leaped into the air readying his daggers to swing down at him.

The possible outcomes of how this battle could end flared in Zeki's head he let them pass by with no worries.The only thing that was in his head was to be killed or not to be killed that was his question as the grin spread even further hungry for blood.Zeki brought down the blades aiming for the mans eyes.

(Don’t worry you will get to fight the captain, just added Darius so your guy can get some more experience)

Soloman’s eyes shined as the two daggers got within inches of piercing them, but just in the neck of time he avoids these daggers by jumping to the side. In his mind he gives this youngster some props because of the move that he did which got him off guard. Though of course the youngster is nothing compared to him when it comes to fighting skills. For the most part he believes that the youngster got lucky and caught him off guard.

The hunger from Soloman starts to grow with each passing second that he stands still without attacking his enemy. As he grips his zanbato tightly preparing for his strike, a marine soldier steps out and yells his name. Of course this disruption pisses him off and makes smoke come out from his nostrils as he looks toward the marine who dared interrupt him.

The young marine wants to fight the young prisoner who dared to insult the captain. After rethinking it over, Soloman allows for Darius, the young 18 year old marine with medium long black hair, dark brown eyes, and a six feet frame to deal with the problem. “Show me what you can do Darius,” said the captain as he took the side lines and made way for Darius to come in.

Darius is a specialist when it comes to hand to hand combat; the only thing he lacks is experience. Darius pulls out a double sided axe and a three foot long dagger so he can do combat with the young prisoner. The plan is for him to use his agility and athleticism to outmaneuver the prisoner who does appear to be able to do combat even though he himself is young. Quickly Darius rushes toward the prisoner and swings his double sided axe at the neck area so the head can be separated from the body.

[izekio]

With his blood still pumping Zeki watched as the quick change out a bit rage filled his mind as the thought of taking him so easily still watching the two marines then saw his new opponent pull out a double sided axe along with a dagger "Two for the price of one how exciting might as well give him a quick death." he thought and watched as the boy called Darius charged at him waiting to kill his prisoner.The boy had the pride of an amateur fighter which usually got people killed.

Zeki took his fighting stance and waited for Darius to near him thirsting for a bit of blood maybe that was just the animal inside of him waiting to sink its teeth into flesh and tear him apart like a hot knife through butter.Zeki didn't let the beast lose savoring for a challenge.Darius got closer and closer and then swung his axe Zeki tilted backwards then jumped landing on his back then quickly rolled onto all four like an animal.

He suddenly lunged forward aiming both daggers right below Darius's ribs snow kicked up behind him blocking the view of any marines trying to watch the battle from behind."Don't take me lightly!"Zeki yelled with a deathly serious look took over his face.Backing out was not an option anymore the eyes of a crazed animal could be seen in both of the boys eyes this fight was about pride and who was better.

Darius tucked and rolled to avoid the sudden attack by Zeki. He has realize that this attack got really close to slicing him up, though got lucky and reacted at the right moment. As he polishes a drip of sweat on his forehead and refocuses on what is really going on, he looks over to his captain and says, “do not worry sir, I will be finish with this outlaw soon. You will be proud of me.” To make sure that his promise is fulfilled he will not fool around anymore with Zeki and will take his game to his highest level of fighting. Even though he would prefer not to because it means that he would waste a lot of energy, but since the captain wants it to be quick he has no choice but to make sure that everything that has to do with playing around is thrown of the window.

As a stare down happens between the young marine soldier and the outlaw, snow starts to fall faster and is making it hard to see certain things. The navy soldiers cannot not tell the difference from the snow to their clothes, this has made them a chameleon since they are now camouflage with the snow. Some start to worry that they cannot see things and cannot tell the difference from their uniforms to the ground and white walls. However, Darius knows that this a huge technological advantage that he has been given.

In the eyes of Darius God is helping him overcome evil. Now that the snow makes it hard to see navy uniforms he can maybe sneak around until he finds Zeki and can kill him without him ever finding out what happen.

In order to trick Zeki he grabs his pistol and shoots it toward the ground hoping that Zeki might start to head toward where he heard the noise looking for him. Afterwards he will try to sneak behind Zeki and will use his double sided axe to chop the head of Zeki, which will be used to remind people that outlaws will not be tolerated on this island, and that this can be one of the consequences for going against the marines on this base.

[izekio]

The blizzard kicked up leaving behind nothing but a field of white to block Zeki's vision"Don't run away from me now it just started to get fun!"He yelled out only able to make out the outlines of the marines.A sudden shot was fired near him the wind quickly took the scent of gun powder away.Maybe I should end this bout with him trying to be tricky with me.He thought a sudden idea popped up in his head then backed up slowly trying to zone on Darius's position and get to the corpse of that dead marine.Zeki tripped over something and landed on his butt."Found ya he said."Then carved the knives through the corpse like he had no emotion.After that he picked up the body and swung it around in a wide circle away from his body then let it go.

Zeki waited for the effects of the distraction as some of the marines let out a cheer as if the prisoner was dead until being crushed by the dead body.One marine started to shout after getting some of it in his mouth"It-Its blood!"He said then obviously started to run away."I didn't know men who enforced justice were so...so cowardly!Then he let out a menacing laugh.Obviously angered by the disgrace of one of his fellow marines a man charged him blade ready.Zeki waited till the last minute and parried his attack hen smashed the pummel of his dagger into the mans adam's apple then delivering a slash to the side of his face on purpose it left a nasty gash across his cheek.

Zeki then kicked the man sole to face into the largest crowd of outlines who caught the stumbling man then the sudden yell of Medic and a march of boots forming new outlines who hauled the man away."Come on out Darius before I actually kill someone!"He shouted wiping off his blades before continuing"You know some animals stalk and play with their prey before killing it!"He shouted before getting ready as the wind slowed down but still covered everyones vision.Zeki could feel something in the air like the second round in a large in a war that could turn the tides.

Two marines quickly fell to the devious power of the prisoner which made Darius wonder what he could to catch him off guard and take the upper hand. Several thoughts crossed the mind of Darius, but one stood out from the rest. Instead of playing this cat and mouse game he will show the prisoner what he wants to see.

Personality of Darius

Just like the captain, Darius will follow and will kill/capture any criminal who dares to oppose the World Government, even if it means that a few lives must be sacrificed because he believes that it is for the greater good. This is also why he thinks of the captain as a great man who he will respect and honor until he dies. In addition, Darius has no problem on given his life up as long as it is for justice and gets rid of evil.

Present

The distinguished personality that he possesses makes him decide easily on the ideas that just ran through his head moments ago as the blizzard storm increases. In order to execute his plan Darius kills a marine without anyone else noticing and throws him toward the direction that one of the other marines came from. Step two and three involved doing the exact same thing. Now that the marines are on the floor hopefully distracting the prisoner even for a brief moment he charges toward the unknown and starts swigging away hoping that he can kill the prisoner by just going crazy.
