Brightwood Island Takeover (Open to Steel village 4rth division and 2nd Division)

sarah was bored of waiting on the ship and came out of the ship and looked out onto the forest and put down her books and hid her claws in her bright yellow dress. she climbed down from the trees and looked for alphonse she couldnt find him as she moved through the high trees she brushed past zero the back of dress being hit where the claws where and they fell from the supports not falling from where they were just slashing open the back part which went down to her waist, as they did she grabbed the claws and though *oh crap i knew i should of used better quality materials to make the holders and not just of used this material because it was comfy* she then moved a bit further through the trees and looked for alphonse but she couldnt find him.

Alphonse saw the Snake attempting to swallow him, the lady helping him attempted to launch 3 arrows missing the attempt to kill it. Alphonse had no choice, he immediately took out both his hands "Metal Wall" , A Thick wall made of metal intercepted the snakes attack, attempting to push it back while hopefully hitting itself against the wall. Alphonse then created 2 shards coming from its body, turning them into swords "Metal Combat" , both the 2 swords on his shieth and the swords on his sorroundings were put under his control, 4 in total were carefully aimed at where the Snake could be hiding under the wall, the Swords Moved upwards then Plunged down towards the Snake behind the wall. Alphonse was hoping Sarah was still in the ship for this island seemed to be quite dangerous as it was.

The Snake Sissed in horrible pain srapidly bleeding to death it spat an acid to metle the wall in in way making a hole big enough for him then in a last dit h effort sprang from the hole attemping to give Alphonse a posionus bite

Alphonse had tried to ignore the woman drinking sake next to him, there was a snake attempting to hurt Alphonse, as the snake got near His normal speed would have never compared to the snakes. "Metal Manipulation" Alphonse's body was being freely controled by his own metal controling powers, Alphonse quickly pushed the woman next to him out of the way and pushed himself further back. Protecting the lady beside him Alphonse pushed her aside before attempting to save himself, the snake barely missed Alphonse as he was pushing her out of the way.

Alphonse looked at his sleeve and saw a drop of Venom on it, He quickly took off his Coat and threw it to the ground, the coat seconds later started to melt, if any of that venom had hit Alphonse there's no telling what would have happened. After taking off his coat you can see his body with Metal pieces, they are scattered throughout his body, his chest, his arms, the only area there were no metal pieces was his face. Having no shirt on made Alphonse slightly uncomfortable, since they were in a jungle this was a bad feeling. Then again Alphonse has been a wonderer before, so this situation was expected in his past.

Alphonse kept an eye on the snake in case it decided to come back. This was indeed a powerfull creature.. and that venom it had made Alphonse curious. "I am taking this dead snake with me , Is that alright with you?" He himself wasnt going to use the venom, but it might help Sarah. Alphonse was awaiting a responce from the Long arm women.

Malan sighed. "Its your kill take it... but lets continue on we must speak to the elder."

Meanwhile Oaktilla move at high speed within the roots under Bright wood
Small sprouts began to pop up all over Bright wood.

"Alright.. ill be carrying it." Alphonse picked up the snake, being careful not to have the heads venom touch him, he followed the lady deeper into the forest, before he left he talked to the lady that was drinking sake. "You may come if you wish, but dont expect to come back alive".

Alphonse noticed small sprouts coming from the ground, but decided not to think anything of them.

"Hmm... Interesting... well i better get a report... " Said Angel and jumped off the trea branch.. when he was about to land he used his flames to land safetly.
He walked around and saw Alphonse and walked to him.
"Alphonse what's the report?"

Alphonse was on his way to following the women, she was too take him to the leader of the island. The snake was still on his shoulders, he heard a man talking to him from behind, He spoke without turning back for both the fear of spilling some of the venom on him, and slowing himself down, falling behind the women.

"Report? We're in an island, our mission is to ally this island under the protection of Iken, you may follow as well if you think you could help, as for how we are there's no casualties, id like to keep it that way." Alphonse waited for a responce while following the Long arm women. -If he asked a question like that , then he must want to help- Alphonse thought. The weight of the Snake seemed like nothing, as he walked onward the metal suitcases were seen hovering 5 feet around him, both of them.

sarah kept climbing through the trees she didnt know where she was going because it all looked the same in the tree tops but she knew she wasnt going in circles because she made a few marks in the wood to make sure she didnt. but after a while she couldnt see underneath herself so she started running because she was careless and as he feet landed on a branch it was too weak and snapped underneath her and she started to fall she grabbed a vine but that just tore away after a couple of minutes as she held the vine when it was unbroken she screamed then as it broke she started her fall of 350 feet where she was plummeting to the ground.
(you can choose where she is when she falls)

wolfheart turned to alphonse and saw the venom on him and started to lick it of it burned his tonge but he wanted to stop it from hurting alphonse his mouth started to burn but all he needed to do was take it for a few minutes after that it wouldnt hurt and if it did he just needed to find few thing to stop it.

Takumi nodded at Zero. "I know it'll be difficult to learn, but I have to. I have seen people with unimaginable powers at the Unholy war in Water 7. At the time I was afraid I'd get crushed like a bug if I'd get caught up in that. Therefore, I need to get stronger."

While walking a noise was heard in the distance, not too far from Alphonse. He looked back towards the trees where the noise was coming from, it was soon realized that the sound was indeed a scream, watching the figure closesly it was Sarah falling from a very Large tree, Alphonses mind immediately went into action, his adrenaline was pumping through his veins, he only had one shot at this. "Metal Magnetism" , the Collar Sarah had on had metal on it, She was just close enough for him to be able to control it, He made the fall slow down instead of stop so she wouldnt get her neck hurt, while he kept making her go slower every second it got to the point where she was levitating down towards the ground unharmed. When she touched the ground Alphonse it was on Alphonses arms, he had warned her not to leave the boat, but it was impossible to be mad at her.

"I guess you're coming with me then." Alphonse had a smile when he said those words, showing how happy he was she was there as company.. but now he had to protect her, and make sure nothing happened to harm her.

Alphonse took the Venom away from Wolfs mouth, If he continued to touch it, it would seriously kill him. "Dont touch the venom, if i even see you licking this venom again ill assume your poisoned and ill have to cut off your tongue to save your body from its destructive properties." Alphonse was serious, he made the 2 swords disappear and put the other 2 on his shieths. Alphonse didnt want Wolf heart to die from the poison in them, so keeping an eye on him seemed like the natural thing to do.

as sarah fell she was scared she was going to fall to her death but as she slowed she was confused until she landed in alphonses arms she faced him to not show her other stupidity which cut open the top of the back of her dress and she hugged him as she got onto her own feat she said "thank you" she wiped away the tears of fear from her own eyes and kissed alphonse then she said "i guess i am" she looked around and she saw some of the other crew.
_________________________________________________________

wolfheart whimpered when alphonse spoke to him because he was just trying to help him but apperently he didnt need it wolfheart then started to sniff around to see where stuff was and try and make sure they werent ambushed by anyone.

A pack panther's watched The Steel pirates. Slowly surrounding them the waited for the time to strike. the 20 pathers jumped from tree to tree while others would crwal low to the ground hiding in the bushes.

Infront of Alphonse and sarah a Giant man eatingplant emerged from athe heavy brush path they walked on. The Man eater then lunged forward attempting to swallow sarah whole.

At the same time the strangle vines moved with swift speed to attempt to entangle Alphones entire group. Malan was quickly wrapped by the vines tied her entire body. Her brests seemed like they were almost ready to pop! "AHhhhhh help me it hurts! AHhhh!" Malan dropped her bow from the sheer force of the strnage vines. The thorns ripping into her flesh as her blood dripped onto the plants there bloodthirtyness grew.


Three of the 20 panthers desided to attack them while the deadly vines were busy. all three attempted to maw,claw and main Alphonse.

wolfheart didnt know who too save the enermy was everywhere how could he not of been vigilant enough to stop it early know everyone in trouble he decided to save the one who was screaming first he claw his way through the vines because they were vines and his claws were razor sharp they felt like they put up little resistance and tried to bite through the ones holding malan after he tore through the last one holding her he let her fall and was waiting for more to come and if they did he would destroy them he mouth almost torn to shreads and his legs bled through all the thorns but he stood growling his teath exposed covered in his own blood.

____________________________________________________

sarah revealed her claws as the plant flew towards her she was scared but she held a scream she had to beat this plant so alphonse would only have to kill the panthers. as the plant flew towards her she ran towards its trying to avoid its attacks running beside it hopping it would miss she started to slash half the the human eater but the cuts werent deep enough to split it instantly only enough to weaken it abit.

Alphonse noticed Veins trying to Wrap him, the Veins managed to get his right arm before Alphonse's swift reaction cut the Vine before it swarmed around his Body. His broadswords now in hand.

A Man eating Plant had shown up, Its vines moved too quickly for Alphonse to stop it in time before it had taken the women leading them,"Metal Shards" Alphonse's Body immediately turned into metal as well as having Shards Scatter from his body, this time there were 4 shards as they each turned to swords and surrounded Alphonse. Sarah and Wolf were trying to Fight the Plant, but the 3 Panthers were still coming after him, Alphonse quickly made 3 of the swords turn and point at the Panthers, when they got near The swords swung by themselves aiming straight down at each of them, each sword aimed at a different part of their bodies but all swings were attempted to kill them.

After the attack, Alphonse Looked around to see a few of the panthers close by, he only saw a few on the trees and Ground, at least the ones that were close to him. "Sarah if things get Bad out here i want you to run back to the ship, its pretty far but im confident you could make it." Alphonse didnt want Sarah to be hurt, if it did happen Alphonse would lose control over his emotions, not to forgive himself. He also noticed Wolfheart bleeding, this was one tricky Forest.. His Nakama were getting hurt and there wasnt much he could do about it, if he was alone their attention would've only been on Alphonse, nobody could get hurt. In this situation however there was no time for Ifs, He was getting ready to protect his nakama. 3 more shards disperced from his body turning into shields, they moved towards the direction of the 3 people in danger, one beside Wolfheart, one Beside Sarah, and another close to Malen, as long as he could see the group he could easilly maneuver the shields to counter. They could attack and he'd defend, but if he's in combat they would be holding still in mid-air, a few feet above their heads.

Zero leaned up against the wall and crossed his arm. He put one foot up against the wall and one on the ground. He closed his eyes and looked down at the floor. Knowing how it felt to be weak, and wanting more then anything to become stronger. If this kid was serious, he could become one hell of a black leg user.

"Fine...but first..I need too see what I'm working with...Can you swim?"

Zero then kicked off the wall and landed on both feet. He then started walking towards the edge of the docked ship and looked down at the blue grounded sky. The Sea.

The Shards hit two of the tree pathers killing them. while the third jumped above Alphonse attempting to dice his face up with a series of slashes.

As blood still dripped onto the ground the more violent the Strangle vinces got. MOre and more shot up from the bushy ground. Malan Scream as the life was being squeeshed ouyt of her. "Damnit.. How could I have failed so horrible noo..."

A tree shot up from the ground and exploded in giant slivers slaying the pather attacking Alphonse and 5 more on the outskirts.

An Old woman walked out of the tree and calmed the man eating plant along with the Stangle vines.

Malan fell to the ground. "Oaktilla thank you.... these are"

Oaktilla waved her hand casually to silence Malan.

"Hello Pirates I am Oaktilla leader of the Long arm Tribe. I see you have indangered one of the daughters of my tribe.... Speak quickly and tell me of your perpose here."

Alphonse witnessed the Forest silence for a moment as the Older women spoke, as if the forest itself had listened to her words. Alphonse bowed "I am here to try to negotiate, your island Must be kept under Captain Iken, all that we ask is that you leave our flag here showing your Loyalty towards him. We dont wish to fight but we will if we must, The reason Iken wants this island is unknown to me, but i do know this, he wants to protect all of you from the Anubis pirates." Alphonse was bowing the whole time he spoke those words. He was respectful of her powers of nature, and considering the island and how it was they would definitely be worthy allies. As for their cause they simply want peace. "We promise to only leave a flag behind we will not interfere with the way you live, that is all i must say at the moment."

Alphonse was looking at the wound the lady had around her arms, it seemed hurt. Alphonse made sure the dead snake was still next to him.

The forest shook with Oaktilla's Voice. "So it seems you with to claim our land to protect us from more pirates??? I Do admire your request for peace but however I do not know of this Iken or Steel Village. So I you want us to comply you will have to prove your worth to us. We will just not bow down for no reason other than to fuel a pirate war on our homeland over a measly flag
So prove your worth so we know if your strong enough and how dedicated you are to your cauuse for peace.
We have had trouble with the Blue gorilla tribe up north. If you can convence then to stop invaiding our home and fighting amonst our Long arm's. I will approve of your Flag"

The forest grew silent as Oaktilla awaited Alphonses answer.

Alphonse stood up, looking at the mature women's eyes he answered to her. "I will speak to them for you, I swear. Sarah, if you think you can fight stay near me, Wolf heart you as well." He tried to find an answer from Sarah, hopefully she would go back to the ship, but if she chose to stay with him he would understand and keep her close. Alphonse looked back at the mature women. "If the tribe is up north they will be easy to find then?", Alphonse was asking this question because he might need directions towards the Tribe. He was levitating his briefcases in midair during this time, 5 feet away from him.

Oaktilla smiled at Alphonse. Follow these pruple tree sprouts they will take you there if you get lost. but you should have much trouble other than the natural dangers of Bright wood"

Oaktilla Grew purple tree sprouts from where they were standing all they way to the Blue gorilla village.

"I wish you luck..."

Oaktilla sprouted vines from her body and wrapped them around Malan to Carry her. The Oaktilla waved the steel pirates goodbye as she slowly walked towards the Longarm tribe village.

Takumi grinned at Zero. "Can I swim? You bet!" he said while climbing on the edge of the ship as well. "What do you want me to do?" This was right in his league; he loved swimming. Even without using Soru or Kamisori he was an excellent swimmer. The strength in his legs he had obtained from his Soru training enabled him to outspeed most other people. Whatever Zero wanted him to do, he was confident he would be able to do so.

sarah stood next to alphonse and said "ok i shall stay with you and fight near you" she hugged him again turning forward reveiling what she did to her own dress and she said to wolfheart looking at his jaw" come over here" as she spoke she snapped a twig and sharpened it with her claws as wolfheart came over to her and opened his jaw she said to him this may hurt a little and took a few threads from her torn back of dress and put it through her self made needle and got to work on wolfhearts mouth and said to alphonse "could we wait a few minutes while i work on wolfheart?" she hoped he would wait for her.

Alphonse was watching the Mature Lady walk away, she seemed to have trusted him with the task. He was not going to let her down, Alphonse was getting prepared to walk towards the forest untill he looked down to see Sarah treating Wolfheart, she asked him to wait for her to finish. Alphonse desided to stay standing up and watched the sorroundings in case anything happened. Journey-ing towards the north village was going to be hard, since the threats are indeed powerful. Perhaps even too much for Alphonse to handle by himself, having Wolfheart close by would assure him he would have an instant before reacting to attacks. Sarah was also a tracker, so having her with him seemed like a great idea. Alphonse was going to make sure she wouldnt get hurt.

"I will wait untill you finish, try to put on your metal claws after you're done... i dont want to see you getting hurt." He was looking around the area, just to double check that nothing is attempting to attack them.

Zero then pointed to the ocean.

"Swim to the bottom of this water..and come back up with a clam..the thing is there are a very small amount of clams in the water that we are sailing on. And its completely inhabited by Sea Kings. If your not Fast enough, you will die..also, you have 10 minutes..this water were on is about 22 feet deep...so don't die on me..It gets deeper the father out you go.."
