Steel Villager's Reunite On Rose Island - Open to all Steel and Allies

"Bahaha" Iken couldn't help but burst out laughing when Sangjo fell on top of the young and attractive mermaid. Iken laughed until he began to tear up and his sides hurt as well as nearly falling over himself. However soon after Iken felt bad for the little outburst. Even though it was one of the funniest things he had ever seen. Both Sangjo and Ami seemed to do little more than blush at first, until Sangjo shakily picked himself back up to his feet. Iken looked at the two with a smug grin on his face, neither of them were in all that big of a hurry to separate from the others close embrace.

"Come on my friend, we'll get you back." said Iken trying to help. Walking towards Sangjo as the mermaid swam away, Iken put his shoulder under that of his closet friends. Lifting the majority of his friends weight off of his feet, Iken carried him towards the ship. "Have I told you that we're going to Fishman Island soon? Although, I don't think you'll be as happy going there as you would have been if I had told you a few hours ago." said Iken smugly as he nodded in the direction Ami had swan off in.

Kangae would continuously block each strike one after another, not having any time to attack back. A rush of panic swept across Kangae's face as he realised that perhaps Myra had more hate in her memories than depression. Kangae looked at his sword. The place where Myra was striking was consecutively at the same point time after time and the Sabre began to crack due to the stress. Kangae's face began flushed with more panic as the sword began to crack and looked to try and find a weak spot that he could take advantage of. As Myra lifted her Chakram once more, Kangae flipped his sword to face inwards.
"Unholy Slam".
Kangae would rush forward, trying to slam into Myra and push his Sabre forward at the same time. The maximum damage the sword could possibly do was perhaps a scratch if dodged properly, but the Slam could possibly knock Myra over if not dodged.

As Myra was once again about to strike down once again, she suddenly was winded after being pushed back some distance from the suprise slam from Kangae, and as she was wide open, trying to catch her breath, she suddenly realised her situation, and quickly started slashing wildly with her chakram. "I'll cut you up good!", she said cheerfully, grnning insanly with each attack.

Sangjo would have hugged Iken after hearing the news twice if the fact that he was injured and it would be awkward. It was nice of Iken to help him in his time of need. It was probably the few times that Iken and him talked since Kenji left. Sangjo was still hurt his friend could do this to him. Oh well it won't happen again. "Fishman island, the land of beautiful mermaids I can't wait! We should have a celebration. Wait Iken shouldn't we be worried I mean fishmen don't exactly like humans, and I doubt we would get a warm welcome down there." Then they came to steel's main flagship "Iken can I steer the ship? Please, I promise I'll behave once we get to fishman island."

Kangae began to extremely panic, sweat dripping down his face. Kangae continues to block each strike with his Saber, though with each strike, the sword would slowly begin to crack more and more with the panic on Kangae's face showing more and more; I'm done for, might as well surrender while I can keep my life.
Kangae would jump backwards, but just before he does so, another attack of the Chakram would come down and break the Saber just before Kangae managed to jump out of the way, his chest becoming hit as he jumps; "Fine...I give. You win."
Kangae would throw the broken sword hilt onto the ground, smiling once again, stepping out of his "serious mode".

Naomi's jaw fell open. "Awwww AGAIN?!!!" she said in a dramatic voice, she didn't really feel like packing up all of her things again, that meant she would need to unpack soon as well, in the ship where they were going to.. apparently somewhere with the captain! Naomi indeed was happy that she was getting to go with Iken and Thor, and some other people to another part, and she would get to know them more, which was only more awesome.

In the end Naomi smiled at Thor and nodded, she would be too lazy to pack but everything that happened after that would be awesome and interesting so it only seemed worth it, besides, it wasn't like she had lots of stuff... ok she did have lots of stuff, but it wouldn't take that much time to pack.. it was impossible to take that much time, and she wouldn't have to work on it alone, Thor had said that he would help her and that meant a lot to Naomi, since she didn't really like packing and unpacking.. specially twice the same day, and that was exactly what she was going to do! isn't it great?

"I'll be packing then.. you need to help me!!!!" she yelled as she went to her room and started packing again, she really really felt too lazy to do so but it was the only way for them to go faster, and it would be awesome adventures, and everything, and Naomi wanted that to happen, not boring packing time, which sucked for her, and she also wanted to spend time with Iken and Thor, so she worked hard to pack fast and she ended up doing it without Thor's help, which was needed actually, because it wasn't going to fit in again but in the end Naomi had to actually sit on her bag so it zipped.

When she finished packing she went to Thor's bedroom, in the end she didn't even knock and entered it, she had her bag on her back and was barely standing, since it was really heavy, Naomi hadn't noticed that her bag was that heavy before, maybe it was her mood that didn't let her notice that, but anyway, she entered Thor's bedroom, without knocking and grinned at Thor.

"Lazy bum, I finished packing, and without your help, ain't I great?" she said in a mocking voice as she sat on his bed, hoping he wouldn't mind, neither her sitting on his bed nor her calling him a lazy bum, since he actually took a while to go and help her.

Thor smiled to Naomi as she ran to her bedroom to begin packing. He liked her, she was funny and really cute. He sighed, not really wanting to help her right now, and began to get up when Naomi ran back into the room and sat on his bed. A little comical sweat bead rolled down his forehead because of how quickly she packed. Thor laughed and smiled to her.

"Yeah, your something" he said, smiling to her.

He looked at her strangely because she was sitting on his bed, but whatever. Thor then got up and walked to where Iken and Sango were, hoping Naomi would follow. Thor then went up to Iken and smiled.

"Iken-sama, since I'm going with you, I think Naomi should come too, since she is new to the crew and she wouldn't have anywhere else to go if she stayed." he said

Monty was surprised when Iken told him they were going to fishman island. There were lots of mermen and fishmen like him there. There were gorgeous mermaids there too! He was kind of happy, but it also reminded him of his dead parents... but he decided to disipate that thoughts of his mind. He walked around and watched the fight between Myra and Kangae, it seemed cool. This was the day, that Monty felt in family after many years... since he had lost his teacher by the hands of the marines. Then Monty turned and looked for Iken, then approached him.

"Captain Iken, I am going to fishman island too right?" -Monty asked him with a smile. -"Are we going for some reason in special?"

Myra's grin and onslaught of attacks imedietly faded away as soon as Kangae surrendered, looking at him in disapointment. "Damn no killing rule, could of slaughtered you easy beacuase of that. Someitmes I think I joined the wrong crew.", she complained as re sheathed her giant chakram. "Alright, Iken dosen't quite owe me one anymore, maybe. Well better catch up with the rest of those goodies.", she compained somemore, as she indicated for Kangae to follow her, as she walked after where she last saw Iken head off to.

Ami perked up suddenly, looking up at Iken from where she sat on the deck, at the mention of Fishman Island.
"That's my home-island!" she squealed gleefully. "That's where we're headed? Oh yay! I can introduce you to all of my family!" She tilted her head and looked up at Sangjo reassuringly. "Don't worry. I'll make sure that nobody says anything mean to any of you. Not all fishfolk and merfolk are prejudiced against humans..." Ami shrugged with a giggle. "I mean look at me! I like humans a lot!"

Naomi smiled and was surprised when Thor suddenly left, she wasn't really sure on whether to follow him or not, but she ended up deciding that she would follow him, just in case he had wanted her to follow him, if that was not the case though, Thor might think Naomi is a stalker, although Naomi couldn't care less about that, she was anything but a stalker.. and rapist, but anyway, she followed him and saw Iken and Sangjo, although she didn't know the later.

"Hello Iken-san, and .. well, I'm Naomi Yukimura, nice to meet you, who are you?" she asked politely, or so she wished to had sounded, since she didn't like to be rude, specially in front of Iken and Thor, guys who had her interest, and she also wasn't a rude girl to start with.

"Oh, I'll make sure you behave, merfolk already hate humans enough as it is." Iken said. After Sangjo's request, Iken looked at him before walking him over to the helm of the ship. "Sure thing, although the controls maybe a bit more complicated than what you're used to." said Iken. Iken then pointed at a board with buttons and levers with the screen attached to it. The wheel and the computer system that ran the ship was house in a small shack like buildings with windows on all four sides. "Just make sure you don't touch anything other than wheel and you should be okay. said Iken walking back out onto the deck.

Just as Iken took a couple steps onto the deck, he was approached by two people. They were no other than Thor and Monty, the first division commander and a member of his fishman division. Both the the two came to him with questions about the trip to Fishman Island. "Gee word sure spreads fast around here." he said with a slight chuckle. "Yeah, you're coming with, and Naomi as well. We'll take the flag ship, and leave the division ships in the cove here until we return." said Iken telling them what they needed to know.

As the sounds of metal objects clashing stopped, a grin spread across Iken's face. Looking down from the deck, Iken yelled out to Myra and Kangae. "Good job you two, your division commander has your missions. So report to him, also Myra you'll have to show him to the ship. He's in your division now, so you'll be spending a lot of time together." Iken said with a smug grin spreading across his face. "Oh and one more thing, Myra, thank you for not killing him." said Iken before he forgot to.

As Ami spoke, Iken listened to the young mermaid speak of her home island of Fishman Island. "Yeah, we're going to Fishman Island to meet up with a friend of mine. He's going to train your division for a while, while I train with Sangjo. Hehe, I would love to meet you're family, especially if they're all as beautiful and graceful as you." Iken said with a smile. As Ami directed her comment to Sangjo, Iken looked in his direction as well. "You're truly an idol that others should look to, fishman, merfolk, and humans alike. You judge not by looks, but by their actions." Iken said with a serious tone. Turing his head to look at his crew, Iken felt a sense of pride. All of the sudden Iken snapped his head back, turning his attention to Ami again. "Ami, be careful of men, fishman and human alike. You seem trusting, so just be careful." Iken warned as he remembered the nature of his friend.

"Oh I there Naomi." Iken said with a wave and a big smile. Putting his arm down and opening his eyes, Iken looked at Naomi. "How are you adjusting to the crew?" asked the captain. "Oh that reminds me, you two can pick out whatever rooms you want. This ship is more than big enough for everyone to have their own room." said Iken pointing towards the hatch the led down below deck.

Sangjo smiled looking overboard toward Ami "Well if they are as nice as you Ami I'm we will have a great time. I can't wait to meet your family. You know what I still have one good arm I can play some music. Its time to celebrate. Ami would care to join me in a song? Its not everyday we go to fishman island" Sangjo went toward his paino which was still in top despite him not playing for him not playing for awhile. He turned to Iken wanting to play music before steering the ship toward fishman island "Iken, let me just a few songs before we go. I think the crew needs to cut loose before heading toward the deep ocea. Anybody got any requests? If not I'm going to sing Bon Voyage." Sango then began playing his piano with one hand while singing the words

BON VOYAGE!

Have the courage, set sail and believe and we will see
A glimpse of the sun rising on a tomorrow.


Back when we first started, we had separate horizon
Sailed toward different dreams.
Things have changed now
For together we found we look through the spyglass and see,
And we know, that our hearts have brought us here.
Where the compass points out destiny,
There’s no looking back, take the helm with me!
Bon Voyage!

We cast off all our troubles, forget the past.
Though the future’s unclear
We still can smile we know we’ll get there.
No regrets!

Every tear that we cry only helps our dreams come true.
You and those dreams are precious in my life.
A glimpse of the sun rising on a tomorrow!

Monty smiled at captain Iken. So the fishman division was going to train with a friend of Iken's... that seemed cool. Monty had to get better in his fighting and had to get skillful. He enjoyed Sangjo's song as he sang and played the piano, he then went to the edge of the water and walked alone... even tho he was alone, because no one talked to him, he didn't feel lonely. Well... maybe a little bit, because no one talked to him, but still. He sat on the floor and looked at his crew. It seemed full of strong, happy people. Monty walked into the water to try one of his new attacks.

"Tsubushimasu Hone Keru"- Monty exclaimed as he performed a powerfull kick in the water in direction to a rock of the coast. The kick unleashed a shot of water taht hit he rock, making an impact hole and making it crack. Yes, he had gotten stronger while practicing, but he needed to get better. Monty sat on the floor, waiting.

"Haha, that's fine my friend, you and Ami can play and sing to your hearts content." Iken said with a big smile. Looking around, Iken noticed a few members sulking about the shore and other ships. A frown replaced Iken's usual smile as he looked upon them. "Everyone have some fun and enjoy yourselves. Eh, ladies you'll have to excuse me, I'll be back in a bit" Iken said. Just as Iken turned around to walk away a few servants brought out food and spirits for the crew to enjoy. Then like that, in a flash, Iken was gone from the deck of the ship.

A gust of wind caused the sand to softly pelt Monty's back as he stood on the edge of the water. "That's a mighty nice attack you've got there." Iken said soon after he reappeared behind Monty. "Anyway, you should get on the ship and enjoy yourself before we go to Fishman Island. We're heading out as soon as the song are over. Well I have to go talk to Alphonse and Maletrix as well, so I'll count on you to get on the ship." Ike said to the powerful fishman.

Walking forward, Iken walked into the water, well at least it looked like he was. After few more feet it became apparent that Iken wasn't walking in, but on the water using a variation of Geppou he had come up with. Soon Iken began to rise up into the air as if he was climbing an invisible ladder into the sky. Making his way to up towards Maletrix, Iken stopped midair near Maletrix's location. "Maletrix, I need you to get on our flag ship, so we can head out to Fishman Island. Plus this way you can get to know the people in your division so you can be a better commander." Iken said with a serious tone. "I have to talk to Alphonse, so if it has to be, make my request an order." said Iken turning around and speeding towards Alphonse.

Landing on the deck of the fourth division ship with a thud, Iken looked around for Alphonse. Finding the man sitting under the crows nest and staring out to the ocean, Iken stood up straight. Walking over to Alphonse the boards under his feet creaked. "Alphonse, my friend, the loss of Sarah was hard on all of us. You especially, my friend. I hope you will find comfort in knowing that death is only a stage in the grand theme of things. She will be missed greatly, but we need to move on. It's okay to be sad or angry, but it's not alright to sit around and waste away. Alphonse, she loved you, now come with me and lets have a drink. I think that's what Sarah would have wanted for you." Iken said walking close. Extending his arm, Iken offered his hand to his nakama in order to help him up.

[Luke]

Walking up to Myra and Kangae, Luke threw the sword-less man a new saber. The grade of the new sword was a step above the previous one, so it would break as easily. "You two need to head to the submarine, so we can get our mission debriefs from Kiba." said Luke as he walked by. All of the sudden Luke stopped turning around looking at Myra and Kangae. "I'm head ahead, you two love birds should come when your done doing whatever." Luke said with a smug grin. Vanishing from their view, Luke made his way to the vessel.

[Benjamin]

The large giant scuffled his feet along causing the dirt and dust to swirl up into the air. Making his way to the flag ship, Benjamin climbed on sitting on the large upper deck. Even with the giant sitting aboard there was more than enough room for the entire crew. In actuality the ship actually made the giant look small.

Alphonse heard a creak behind him, he was getting ready to attack before he heard the voice of Iken, attacking him would've probably killed Alphonse. He sat down and listened to his captains words, he was right. In Alphonses mind Sarahs death meant alot, but it didn't mean he should waste his life on it. He had nakama he had to protect, being angry or sad was alright.. but wasting himself would not solve anything. He would keep the necklace she gave him, and he would make sure his future crew mates never died while he could do anything about it. Alphonse was not about to let her last wishes leave him, Alphonse would do what he could for his Nakama. He took Ikens hand and stood up, shaking it.

"Iken, Captain, I'll accept that drink.. " the look on dedication on his eyes meant he was about to finish what he came to the crew to do. He was going to make sure nobody died again, he'd protect his nakama. Although he'd miss Sarah, and the thought of her would still haunt him, he'd persevere with the help of his nakama.

"Captain, I'll never allow you to waste time on me again." Alphonse had a sort of smirk on his face, Making sure Iken understood that he was alright from now on, and in his own way thanking him without the need for the word. He did this to help Iken understand that his help was appreciated, and to focus on the crew instead of him. Looking at Ikens ship Alphonse turned confused, but kept his serious face.

"Captain, where are we going?" Alphonse was confused on the fact that everyone seemed to be heading towards the general direction of the ship, if not had already arrived on it. While asking this he made his metal suits appear next to him on suit cases, he had forgotten he had them and must've subconsciously carried them the entire time he was walking. The suitcases were still in the air around him.

A plank big enough to support a child was washed away on the shore with Patrick on it. He was holding on to his guitar even tho he was Sleeping. His face was covered with blood. Some of his clothes were torn appart and the edges of the guitar were bloody. It looked like he lost a fight with blood thirsty pirates. Patrick woke up and looked in the water. He saw his bloody face and washed the blood off. ''Godamn pirates... Making fun of my music...'' Patrick draggeg his guitar to the beach and started playing A slow but catchy song . Soon after that he just fell asleep aggain looking like a dead body washed up by the sea.

Iken shook Alphonse's hand after helping him up from his sitting position. A smiled shown that Iken was happy that his words had gotten through to his nakama. Iken felt better now that Alphonse was making an effort to start the healing process. That was really what Iken thought the man needed at this point. A few good friends and time will heal his heart, it maybe be slow, but in the end he would grow from the experience. "Yeah a drink will help you, you'll be able to let it out. Hehe the upside about letting it out now, is that no one else will remember it." Iken said reassuringly.

"Alphonse, spending time with you, is by no means a waste. My crew is important to me, your my nakama, my family. If it was wasting time, so what. Then my whole job is to waste time, as long as it's with you guys, I don't mind at all." Iken's tone was serious which matched the fiery look of determination in his eyes. Looking out to the sea for a moment, the wind blew causing Iken's coat and hair to flow. "We're going to Fishman Island, in order to meet a friend of mine. He's going to look after the fishman division for a while." Iken was squinting at something. Iken's view was aimed at the beach, it looked like something was wrong. "What is that?" Iken asked pointing to Patrick's body laying on the beach.

Like a flash Iken was gone from the ship only to reappear next to the boy laying on the beach. "He's unconscious, and looks to only be around 11 maybe 12." Iken informed Alphonse. With one arm Iken picked the boy up, holding him under his arm. Seeing the boy's guitar, Iken also grabbed it off of the soggy sand of the beach. "Let's take him back to the ship so the doctor can look at him." Iken said turning around. Iken then made his way to the ship, hoping Alphonse would follow.

Ikens words were enough to help him, to him his crew was more important then Alphonse believed it to be. This really was a crew he would never have to leave, he was happy about that. Alphonse looked into the distance, finding out that a child was on the side of the beach, laying down unconscious. Iken Disappeared While Alphonse created Metal shields on the ground, he walked towards the body while using the shields as stepping stones.

Iken mentioned before that they were heading towards Fishmen island, that would explain why everyone was in the main ship. Alphonse wondered who his 'friend' was, the one in Fishmen island. He walked towards the current situation, having a childs body laying on the beach, a guitar found in a short distance from the boy. Iken took him under his arm.

"I hope he can make it, he looks like he's in bad shape" Alphonse followed Iken, being within a few feet away as he made his way to the Crews ship. He was worried for the body that Iken was carrying.

Thoughts of returning to the crew was something that felt 'new' to him, Since his old reason was gone now, but he was glad he was with the steel.

Ami smiled at Iken's statment, giggling and shrugging. "I just try to be as nice as I can to everyone. I'm not trying to be an idol of any kind. But thank you for saying so..." She blushed, lifting a hand to her own cheek with another girlish giggle. "And I'm not really that pretty and graceful at all...but thank you for saying that too."
Ami blinked at his next piece of advice to her and nodded slowly. The young mermaid was still rather innocent to the world, barely able to comprehend the idea that not every man she would ever meet would have completely honest intentions. "...alright, Captain. I'll be really careful. I promise."

She looked to Sangjo, suddenly smiling brightly. "I'd love to join you in a song!" Ami scooted over to the piano and pulled herself up on to the edge of its polished frame, her tail dangling off the edge. She drew out her harp and started to strum along lightly with the song, ad-libbing and accompanying each piano chord.
She sang along with Sangjo, harmonizing with him, her own voice complimenting his from the start of the song to the very end. Ami allowed herself to become completely lost in the music and enraptured with the song, finally letting the melody fade at the final note.
"A glimpse of the sun rising on a tomorrow...!"

Ami breathed out. "I love music...it just lets your heart and soul breathe..."
Her eyes suddenly widened, catching the sight of Iken carrying a young boy in his arms, back on to the ship. Her brows furrowed and she gasped. "Oh no! That little boy looks hurt! I hope he's alright!"

As soon as he listened to his captain's command, Maletrix got out of the water and started flying on the ship in order to learn about the details of his assignment. Apparently, he did not know what his assignment would be. His captain had given him a few details about going to fishman island but he did not know what lied there for him and what he should do. After all, even if he was a fishman, he did not live there for very long as he got kidnapped by a bunch of pirates and was sold as a slave.

While flying back at the ship, he was thinking what this mission would offer to him. By getting back to fishman island, not only he would get to the Fishman Karate Dojo to train himself but also he would get to see his old friends after such a long period of time and tell them about his ideals. Without even waiting, at the time he stepped on the ship, he said "Is there anything I can do, Iken-sama?" while waiting for an answer.

Monty was surprised when captain Iken appeared and complimented him on his attack, he said it was pretty strong, and asked him to go to the ship. Monty supposed it had to be the biggest one, the one were all the crew woud fit. Monty smiled and Iken and nodded.

"Ok, Captain."-Monty started walking and boarded the flag ship, sitting in the deck, he waited there for anyone to pass by... or at least something interesting to happen so he could do something. Monty started thinking, thinking about what he was going to do in fishman island.

Thor nodded to Iken and decided to go find a room. He found a decently large one and put his cloths inside, also his book and jutte, then went back on deck. He sat on a pile of boxes to the side of the deck and began whistling. He sighed and looked around, he barley knew anyone there. He barley knew Naomi, or anyone in the fish man division besides Ami. All he knew about Sango was that he liked women, ALOT. And he really only knew Iken Alphonse and Ami, so his options of talk were limited, especially when then Iken and Alphonse left to get a drink. So he got up and walked over to Ami and smiled, not yet seeing the boy.

"Oi" he said to Ami

as Myra listened to Ikens comment after his order to return to her divison Myra automaticly grumbled; "Smug g*t.", before boundong away to their divison submarine with Kangae not too far behind, until they bumped into Luke on the way, who also managed to annoy Myra, and after the fellow divison member departed to their divison submarine, she snarled to herself; "You know, sometimes I think I'll kill those damn kaze brothers, but that'll have to wait until I really havent done any killing." She then realised that Kangae was still with her and said in her usually creepy tone, "Right, let's go see the boss, hopefully well get to some slaughtering soon, plus Luke still owes me a kill.", before bounding over to the submarine.

Kangae looked at Luke as he vansihed, picking up the sword and inspecting it; "Hm...Better than my old one atleast." Kangae would lift his head to hear Myra talking to herself. He would shake his head at her seemingly endless desire to kill something. Kangae would sigh as Myra finished talking, attaching the new sword to his waist. Myra would begin talking to Kangae and bound away. He would simply nod and run directly after her, hoping not to lose her.
