dusk of justice arc (task)

The cell door slammed shut as Prankster smiled at the foolish bandit. As he was walking he looked over towards the pirate smiling even harder. He then looked up towards the ceiling and said. Soon oh so very soon a marine warship shall come come to take you two away. Steal toe you been here quite some time and pirate you've been here not that long but still impel down should have your cell waiting as well. Seeing the look on steal toe joe face made Prankster smiled even more as he walked out of the prison part of the A.O.J base.

Prankster sat down as he began reading his news paper while listening to soe classic music.

A woman looks over at the crowd of bandits seemingly with fire and her eyes she began to yell with rage. Not long ago that damn marine captain appeared where did he come from. We all asked that very question to no answer as well for two years. I've been planning on rebuilding our strength till finally we are back to full power. The crowd began to cheer then Xena yelled. Wrong how could we be back to our full power if well steal toe Joe not amongst us huh.We got alot of man power now is the time to strike to free our leader . LET US GOOOOO. she yelled as they begin marching down to shell town from the cave they was hiding in.

Two a.o.j marine soldiers was on look out duty when they heard a loud noise. Both to scared to go look they climb a tree to see a group of bandits walking towards the town. Oh crap we have to go sound the alarm to warn every body. Both man got down then started to run for the town til they both bumped into Xena. She looked at them Go run and tell that bastard im coming for Joe. The marine soldiers looked as one said captain Prankster will stop you.

Theu both took off running as Xena had a weird look in ger eyes she then said to her right hand bandit. How many does it take to deliver a message. the bandit looked as he said just one firing a gun shoot seemingly hitting one soldier.

Blopd dripping from one soldier back as the other carried him back to the look out tower. He took a deep breath pressing the red alarm button sounding the alarm.

In a jail cell next to Steal Toe Joe's was a rather mysterious boy sitting down on the bed playing a harmonica. "I do wonder what my buddy Fly is up to while i'm stuck here"  He whispered to himself. Eiichi heard some talking in the jail cell next to him and simply shrugged it off as it was normal to hear some arguing amongst the prisoners. He tried to look outside of the bars in the cell, The talking next to his cell stopped and everything started being a little more calm. Eiichi was waiting for his friend Fly a 25cm Bird he spends most of his time with. "Fly hasn't come back in about a week, I guess there's not much i can do but hope he's alright and able to lend me some help when he gets back." he sighed. All of a sudden as he was about to lay down on the bed in his cell he saw the guards running around near the cells and the ringing from the alarms followed right after, "I guess It's not going to be a such a bad day after all." .

Prankster looked up what the hell is someone breaking out no more like breaking in. Captain Prank got up to look out the window putting on his straight jacket when a soldier came running in. Sir excuse me but bandits more or less the steal toe gang has just lunched a attack. Prankster looked at him then said I can see that go tell the soldiers this is a level 3. Tell then to get the townsfolk out of harms way. The soldier saluted then left as Prankster looked threw the snail eye seeing some of his man already laid unconscious. Damn in my opinion Xena not physically stronger then joe but mentally she is. By the looks of things she already have me out number. Prankster walked outside seeing fleeing town people running for thier safety. He see two bandits knocking over work stands. He quickly ran at them balling up both his fist he knocked them out. this is crazy since when can bandits get pass my men let alone get into town.

Xena sliced a marine soldier back knocking him down he yelled. The town is ours boys to the jailhouse we go. They all screamed with joy as they started running wild the a.o.j began thier comeback as a small battle came about between the two.

Prankster walked towards the jailhouse then went to the cells seeing steal toe joe chained up he said. You might think you've won but your wrong prepare yourself for your final defeat at my hands. Marine Captain Prank. joe smiled as Prankster was walking away then said. If you knew the hand fate have delt me then you will give up now. Prankster turn around leaping at joe to a very large boom as Prankster just knocked his head threw the wall. He walked away stopped then got a snail call saying a.o.j was losing and needed him right away.

Prankster began to walk stopping at another prisoner cell he said.Listen up you low im gonna need your assistant understand me. Theres a small problem I have.

Eiichi kept hearing yelling outside of the cell and got curious about what was happening. He tried to peek his head out off the cell but no luck. He saw a man walk to the cell next to him and talk to the prisoner there that everyone in there knew very well to be Steal Toe Joe. The only thing he could hear was some faint talking and suddenly it stopped. In the silence he heard the person walk towards his cell. He looked at the man standing infront of his cell asking for assistance. "What is a marine asking a low life pirate like myself to help him?" he snapped at the man. Eiichi sighed and asked the man "What's in it for me? I'm under no obligation to help the people who locked me in here in the first place." .

Prankster smiled and just stood there staring at him.then he said your a low life indeed however your strong. I could use your help stopping the bandits at the moment. You ask whats in it for you well. Seeing that you dont wont to end up in impel down. I consider you think fir once then act. His snailphone dailed in as marines ask where he was but Prankster dailed out saying he on his way.

With that being said pirate you sure you dont wont to help. I could give you your freedom.Thats something I just know you want im I wrong

Eiichi stood up and walked over infront of the jail cell's door. He then looked down and started talking "You are talking my language now, Freedom is indeed something that every prisoner here would wish for every night of their lives while being stuck here. . He looked up at him firmly in the eyes and responded "I guess i don't have much of a choice here after all, I'll help and in my end of the bargain i get to be free from this prison. Deal?" Eiichi reached his hand out of the cell bars and waits for his answer.

He looked at him then give him a handshake. Dont try nothing stupid earth man lets go clear the bandits theres at least 50. But my man might have lower that number. Im going after Xena meet me wherever I am once you done. Prankster looked then unlocked the jail cell he but the key back in his pocket. Then sent out a alert letting everyone know that Eiichi was not to be mess with.

Prankster soon leaves as he began to track down Xena. He stop then looked as he noticed Xena by the sea shores. He makes his way over taking out at least five bandits pn his way there.

Xena threw the girl on the ground in the and getting ready to stab her. Prankster then yelled stop right there you bandit scum. She looked at him then said my oh my aren't we a hero here. No im justice and your under arrest.

She looked at him pulled out her rifle gun then began firing at him. Prankster jumped back moving out the way he then takes out his thunderbolt staff as he prepare to counter attack.

Eiichi shaked his hand "Something stupid? I wouldn't dream of it." he broke the handshake and he stared at Prankster. He heard him out and nodded in understanding for the task he will be peforming. As Prankster ran off to find the bandit named Xena he went further in his cell to grab his coat. Eiichi placed one foot outside of his cell and slowly placed the other one.  "It's been a while since i've been outside of this cell, It felt like forever ago since i was caught and brought there. And yet I didn't expect to be out so soon so i might aswell help out the marines wether i want to or not, I hope he keeps his part of the deal though." he murmured and then ran off to find the marines and help them take out the rest of the 50 bandits so he could meet with Prankster when he's done. He arrived to a area where the marines and bandits were fighting it out, He cracked his knuckles and ran directly to the fight.

Prankster kept dodging the sword swings looking at her he said. You better then u look I tell you that but still weaker then joe. Seeing how he was easily dodging her sword and hearing what he said made her go into rage. She thebn lunches at him only to be knocked back. She lunched again only to be knocked back again. What the hell is that you justice dirt. Prankster smiled my barrier is indestructible how do you think I beat joe.

She looked then pulled out her rifle firing it at the barrier to no result. Damn you devil fruit users. Trust me I lost a few times with my barrier. He looked up I wonder what that pirate doing at this very moment. Best I have my men keep an eye on him. Xena laughed as she zoom towards zoomed pass Prankster barrier as he slacked off knocking him back. He catches his self Xena then said. You think you could beat me think again. Prankster looked then smiled at her rage.

Eiichi was soon surrounded by marines and bandits. Before he knew it Bandits had already started attacking him. He dodged a punch heading directly towards him by one of the bandits, Just quickly after he dodged it another one of the bandits decided to attack him while he had his guard off. Eiichi quickly tried to get balance and shot a bullet made of rock to the bandit almost barely missing him. As the bandit fell down and grasped his wound two marines grunts surrounded and pointed guns to the bandit not allowing him to get away. Eiichi quickly went back to fight more of the bandits, A bandit suddenly started to charge at him with a knife. Quickly Eiichi formed a rock shield on his arm but was easily pierce through by the bandit. Eiichi jumped away from the bandit and started forming a rock gauntlet and jabs it into the bandit's stomatch. Eiichi kneeled down and started catching his breath for doing as many moves as he did, "I hope that marine is doing better than me right now." he said while panting.

Prankster jumped back blocking as Xena continued to lunch powerful kicks at him. Prankster looked up as he tried to cross his fingers but she quickly fire her rifle making him jump back instead. So thats how your power works you need to cross your fingers huh. On top of that you could only make one barrier at a time how lame. She goes in for another kick but was knocked backed. Not really you do know 3 warships are on thier way. To take you know who away so if you don't get pass me its bye bye joe.

She screamed as she charged at him he pulled out his thunderbolt staff as her sword clashed down upon it letting off a small electronic shock focusing her back. Prankster then pulled out his counter staff as well. I have to go check on that dirty leader of yours he could be trying to escape at this very moment. So lets end this. She looked then charged at him.

Eiichi stood up after a bit of his energy came back, "I shouldn't over do it, I wouldn't want to pass out in the middle of combat cause of me being reckless" he murmured. Bandits started to shoot him with guns taken away from marines they had defeated. However this didn't affect Eiichi as the bullets couldn't do harm to his Earth Body. As more bandits charged at him he kept taking them down. Soon the amount of bandits started decreasing aswell as for the marines. The marines surrounded the last group of bandits they had fought and were going to arrest them for attacking the prison and having an alliance with Steal Toe Joe. He left the rest of the bandits in the marine's hands. "Now to go find that marine." Eiichi said as he ran off to see where Prankster could be.

Xena gets knocked back as she begin tumbling on the ground. She stops herself then gets up holding her sword. She charged at Prankster as the two clash with his staff and her sword. I must admit thats one fine blade you got there. She looked saying you can't have mine because its better than yours.

He kicked her as she tumbles a little she was breathing heavily and Prankster no better. Damn I wonder to know where my new swor came from. She grinned yeah no you can't have mines.

Prankster gets a snail tect saying steal toe Joe been acting strange. He takes that as a sign he's trynna escape seeing this he must hurry to stop him but Xena in the way.

Eiichi was running around the jail looking for Prankster. He went to the far back of the prison but he had no luck in finding him. He went back to where his own jail cell was and started to try and remenber what direction did Prankster left. He stood there and started to think and suddenly he remenber where he had left. Eiichi quickly went running to where he had last seen him going but he had no luck yet again "I could've sworn i saw him go this way." he sighed. As he was silent thinking of where he would be he then heard some talking coming from near the sea shores, As he looked at the direction he saw the marine with a girl. He quickly rushed towards him, He got near him and proceeded to stand next to him ""You still got your hands full huh?" he asked.

He looked at him then said you could say that what took you so long. It dont matter look at her she like a ball everytime you knock her down she get back up. But since your here I need you to take her down understood.

Prankster looked as he said that Xena ready her sword looking at them both. He relaxed his hands as he turned around to go check on Joe about 5 marine soldiers came. See to it neither escape. Sir yes Sir.

Prankster then ran off heading towards steal toe joe. Xena looked at him easing closer and closer then said.Why the hell you helping the marine

Eiichi scratched his head and started replying to Prankster's question even if he didn't want to "Well i might've struggled finding you, I actually got pretty lucky finding you here at all." he pouted. ""If a you couldn't take her down i don't see much hope in me being able to either, But i'll try my best in taking her down. he said as he put a saluting pose towards Prankster. He looked back as Prankster gave the marines his orders and ran off to find Steal Toe Joe. "I wouldn't call it helping more like doing a favor." he grinned and looked at her "I take it you're Xena, You seem to be causing quite some trouble here huh?.

He threw his counter staff at a bandit knocking him out. He looked over to see his men handcuffing the bandits smiling at them. He looked around to see if he saw any more bandits but most was in handcuffs. Very good men the A.O.J did a great job today. Sir thank you air.

Prankster then began making his way back to the A.O.J jailhouse. Jis snail phone messager alerted him that the warships was only a hour away. He thinking better late then ever. Prankster made it to the jail house and slowly walked in. He looked around then started for the jail cells.

He walked right to joes cell seeing him still chained up he smiled saying. Justice cannot be beaten you low lifelet this be a lesson.

Xena showed lack of wanting to start a conversation with Eiichi and quickly went into a fighting stance  . "I take it you don't want to talk to me huh?." Eiichi said as he raised his guard for any incoming moves. Quickly as he go prepared for any incoming moves she charged at him with the sword facing directly at his stomach. Eiichi jumped out of her direction and shot a rock bullet from the tips of his finger to Xena. Xena reflected the bullet with her sword, Eiichi forged a rock shaped as a javelin and riveted it on his hand. Eiichi soon after began to pant but he held his ground. Xena rushed at holding her sword towards him. Eiichi blocked the move and clashed against her sword with his javelin. They jumped backwards from the clash, Just as soon they touched the ground he threw the javelin straight at Xena.

As she jumped out of the way from the javelin Eiichi was already charging a move towards her. While she gained back her footing from dodging the javelin she got hit from a large rock gauntlet. She was send crashing backwards into a wall in the sea's shore, She tried to stand up but quickly fell back down on the ground. Eiichi's arm turned back to normal, He was breathing heavily and then proceeded to look back at the 5 guards that were sent by Prankster to keep an eye on him and rushed at them. He knocked them out with a punch and tied them up only to drag them into a bush nearby. He took the clothes from one of the marines and dressed up as one of them. He went back and discretely went through the the gates infront of the jail, he lowered the marine cap down "Until we meet again, Marine scum." he murmured.

Prankster looked as the Warship arrived that was to take steal toe Joe to impel down. He then sent out an alert letting everyone know of thier victory against the bandits. Thinking to himself that Xena is still lose he made his way back to the sea shore. He looked around only to see Xena in view. His face made a angry flown. That damn pirate got over on me he'll pay for this. Prankster then heard moanings of pain from the near by bushes he went to check it seeing his defeated soldiers.

He then called for medics as he handcuffed Xena. Later on in the day Joe in his gang of bandits was taking aboard the navy warship. To transport them all to impel down. Prankster then gave his report and made a warrent for the escape pirate ecchi. Justice was served today but still that damn pirate got away talk about dis credit.
