The ongoing story of the people aboard the S.S. Calmwaters

"How do you know R.D.'s name?" Matt's voice demanded.
(OOC: Fire = Red. That Soul Piece has already been collected. Besides, the best color for time I could come up with was Gold, but I wanted one that'd fit into the spectrum better. Thus: orange.)
Morph turned around when everything faded to black around him for a moment. "Wha..?" He brought out. "What is th..." Right then, colour came back to the world, and things started to go by his mind's eye. This is the past. He realized. There was Roll, and Blazen and Juno. They were at some place with snow... and when he looked further, he saw there was a pine tree with little strange lights in it. "This... must be Christmas..." He muttered. He heard someone yell behind him, something about watching out for something and Flatch. Something cold landed in his neck. "YAACK!" He exclaimed. Snowball.
"That's what you get for not paying attention, brother!" He heard a voice giggle.
"He doesn't," R.D. said, "After all. How the hell can he know my name when I don't even know it? Please."
R.D.'s eyes narrowed. "Now, Mr. Vagabond," he said, "Let's clear things up for you. We have four swords, two kids with enough power to vaporize this boat, let alone you, a Chinese jiganshi, and an angry Mettaur with a pick axe."
A bolt of lightning crackled down the length of his sword. "We're not exactly fond of strangers and stowaways. You're not in any position to make offers. So we ask the questions, you answer 'em. Understood?"
"AGH" kagai grumbled as flew into the air,he landed back on his feet and quickly regained himself, "thats it..I've had it" he said as he flared up with gouka. He then rushed for Virus ready to attack him with a combination of powerful kicks and punches.

The young man going by Vagabond remained silent, not seeming to be impressed by R.D.'s statement. Okay, don't get into a fight with these guys--don't want any trouble. So, smile like it's all good, but don't nod your head. He thought to himself. He grinned as if to tell them he was gonna go along with the whole 'Me and Mr. Matt are in charge' deal.
~Elsewhere~
A rather large man with a shaved head, and built like a brick wall, wearing blue jeans, a white T-shirt, and army boots glared down at Ryan Thresh. "Get him up." Said the big man.
A few men grabbed Thresh, and lifted him to his feet.
"Bring me the hammer." The large fellow ordered.
Another man brought him a rather large hammer and handed it to him. "Here ya go John." The man said as he gave the large man the hammer.
John took the hammer in his left hand, never taking his eyes off of Ryan. "Rope him up." He commanded.
The men threw a couple ropes up over the beam of wood that went from left to right, and a couple guys grabbed them. The other men tied the opposite end of the ropes to Ryan's arms, and then gave the other couple guys a nod. The couple men yanked Ryan up all the way to where his arms went across the horrizantal beam.
"Fetch the nails." John said to the man beside him as he gazed up at Ryan, the full moon shining down on him as he hung there.
If there is a God, he hates me. Ryan thought to himself, his head hanging low.
~With Virus~
"Not a wise move, bro." Virus said quietly. He charged at Kagai with uncanny speed, and then jumped up slightly. He extended his right leg out before him, his left leg downward, and then started to spin quickly as he flew toward Dark Wolf. Virus's right leg became covered by a purple electricity. Keeping up his pace, he went to spin his right leg directly into Dark Wolf's face. He'd be able to at least cancle out DW's attacks, and it could possibly send him flying back with a powerful kick to the jaw, and also give him a pretty good shock. "Hurricane Kick!!" He exclaimed as he excicuted his attack.
"So, Mr. Stowaway...any particular reason you decided to hitchhike on this boat?" Matt's voice asked.
"I'd like to know how you knew what I'm going by at the moment," R.D. said.
"Can you swim?" Matt's tone was smug.
"We'll find out if we toss you, then." The eye glanced at R.D. "Opinions, R.D.?"
"Not really," R.D. replied as more lightning crackled along the Phase Blade, "I just say we go pirate on his rear and throw 'em off the boat."
Dark wolf was hit by one of Virus's legs, he flared up the gouka even move and added black electricity.He manged to get out of the way of some kicks and when the time was right he went in for a punch,now it was heading for Virus's stomach faster than the speed of light.

"Fine, fine." Vagabond said as he motioned his right hand in a way that amplified his expression and tone of apathy. "Yes, I can swim. But I'd rather not...hate getting wet." He said with a crooked grin.
~Elsewhere~
Once Virus had landed he didn't have much time to react to Kagai's oncoming punch. His eyes widened in pain as he felt Dark Wolf's fist ram into his torso, but his expression quickly turned into one of rage. Virus knocked Kagai's arm away and then snatched him off the ground, holding him up by his neck with his right hand. Virus let out a roar like a demon as he went to smash Kagai into the ground with enough force to bring down a castle.
Morph ducked as another snowball or two, three were thrown his way. He smirked. "You'll pay for that!" He replied to Roll's previous statement, already busy with creating the cold white ammunition for himself to throw. "Payback time!" He muttered, when he raised his arm for the attack. "BOMBS AWAY!" He shouted, then threw.
"No, no, no, no, no," Matt laughed, now fully into the potential joke. "Let me guess-we wouldn't like you when you're wet?"
R.D. sighed while keeping his eye on Vagabond. Matt was getting humorous. And when he got humorous, he got a little crazy. Please don't blow up the boat, Matt, he thought to himself.
"Acutally, no, you wouldn't." Vagabond answered truthfully. "I'm not a happy person when I'm wet." He added plainly.
~Elsewhere~
A man brought 3 huge nails, about the size of railroad spikes, and handed them to John.
"Bring the latter." John ordered.
"Right!" A man said and then ran off to get a large wooden latter. He called for another man to help him with it, and the 2 men brought the latter over to John.
"Prop it up on the cross." Said John.
The men propped the latter up on the left side of the horrizantal beam, and steadied it by digging the end of it down into the ground a bit.
John walked over to the latter, placed the hammer in one of his big front pockets, and started to climb the latter. "Today you die, Ryan Thresh...for the hundreds of lives you have taken." He said coldly. He placed the sharp end of a nail on Ryan's wrist and then pounded it in.
"AAAAHHHGG!!!" Ryan screamed in agony as John nailed his right arm to the cross.
John slid down the latter and listened to the screams of great pain Ryan was letting out. He told a man to grab another hammer while handing him a nail, and then told him to nail Ryan's feet. 2 men moved the latter over to the other side of the cross, and John climbed up it. He lined the nail up, and smacked the hammer into it, driving it into Ryan & the cross.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHGGG!!!!!" Mr. Thresh exclaimed. Why?! WHY?! Why of all the moments in my life did I have to come back here?!?! He thought to himself with both sorrow and rage.
"I see. Well..." The eye blinked. "I personally don't have a problem with you hitching a ride as long as you pay your services. That's just my opinion, though. Perhaps a vote's in order, R.D.?"
"So long as he doesn't cause any trouble, I'm fine with it," Rua said, lowering his sword a little. He kept a hold on the First Cipher energy still. "What do the girls say about it, Matt?" he asked.
(OOC:partial control of Virus given by Juno)
Dark wolf slamed into the ground thus making a crater. Virus, beleaving his foe was defeated, turned around and began to walk away. Once Virus was a good 10 feet away Kagai jumped to his feet and started running for Virus while firing five Kuro-Raikou bolts then went in for gouka kick.

"I'll ask them," Matt said, and the eye closed shut.
A pause followed.
A very loud "HELL NO!" coursed through the ship, shouted by a familiar robot.
The eye opened back up. "They're fine."
R.D. lowered his blade. "You could've just asked to come, you know," he said to Vagabond as he made his way out of the bowels of the boat with food in hand.
"C'mon, Alli, Matt, I've got lunch made," he said.
"What, you're not calling me Mesia anymore?" Alasea teased playfully.
R.D. rolled his eyes. "Stow it, Alasea," he muttered as he handed her a sandwich.
When he saw another snowball coming his way, Morph wanted to evade it, but it just went too fast, and it was so big. Yet... right before it would hit, all went black for a moment all of a sudden, and after a blink's time, he found himself at a different place, a different time. He looked around. Dead fake trees? He thought. He looked further. Dressed-up newbies? He frowned, as his eyes wandered on. "Lanterns?" He said aloud. "Jack-o'-lanterns?"
Vagabond folded his arms, seeming slightly annoyed. "Well, after you guys past me by in the middle of nowhere, I didn't think you'd want me on your boat. Hence, my hiding down here." He said to R.D. as he followed him up out of the bowels.
~With Virus~
Virus was stunned a second from the first bolt that hit his back. He quickly turned around, and glared at Kagai. "Grah!" He exclaimed as the other 4 Kuro-Raikou bolts shot his torso. He dug his feet into the ground, just so he wouldn't be shot into the air. He managed to block the Gouka Kick, but the heat was far too intense, and he was forced to move his arms away from Dark Wolf's foot. Due to the fact that Virus had to break his block, the Gouka Kick crashed into his chest, and sent him to the ground. "Aahg!" He yelled in pain as he collided with the ground, causing many cracks to form.
Virus's eyes flash various colors, as they did dozens of blasts surrounded Kagai, and the second they formed they shot right at him.
~Elsewhere~
"GGRAAAHH!!" Ryan Thresh screamed in pain as his feet were nailed to the cross.
John slid down the latter, and couple men took it back to the truck. He stepped back, and gazed up at Ryan. "This is what you get for all your evil deeds!" John said loudly with a bit of anger.
Ryan didn't blame the men for what they did to him. He completely deserved it after what he did. If he were one of them, he would have done the same. So, this is the end... Heck of a way to leave this world... At least they can't say I was caught by the COPs, and shot on sight. No, I went down in style. The thought the very same thought as he did on that exact day so many years ago.
"No...not yet." Said a demonic voice. A demon, but not just any demon, one by the name of NightShade was watching Ryan Thresh. "You shall not die yet."
From the pits of Hell NightShade came, bringing with him Gouka that surrounded all who were present. He let out a roar, glaring at John as he stood a mere 6-feet away from him.
"Who...what are you?!" John asked with terror.
"I am NightShade, an Elite Royal Guard to the Rulers of Hell!" NightShade answered. "...and I am here for your souls." He said with a devilish smile.
The men began to scream, and some even tried to run. However, thos who tried to escape were burned to ashes by the Gouka. "Why!? Why are you doing this?!" John asked.
"Because! Ryan Thresh must live on, and you pathetic fools are attempting to kill him before his time!" NightShade replied. "So, I shall kill you all!" On his last word the Gouka engulfed the men, burnt them to ash, and then vanished.
NightShade turned around and looked up at Ryan. He extended his right hand, and an odd black entity formed around the nails. As he pulled his hand back the nails came out. He took hold of Ryan using the same odd black entity, but using his left hand to make it. He slowly lowered Ryan to the ground, and layed him down. "Live on Ryan Thresh. You must live on."
Ryan looked up at the demon going by the name of NightShade and asked, "But w-" Before he could finish, everything went black. In a flash he was standing, healed, and all around him there was blood and dead bodies. He looked to the sky, and saw that it was night, and a cresent moon. He only had one memory like this, a night that was known as 'The Avon Reckoning'. The reason for the name was simple, what Thresh did to the little city of Avon Park was like a small reckoning. He killed 200 people, men, women, and even children. He did it in groups of 10 to 50 all over the city until he reached his goal of 200. "Haha, haha. Hahahaha." Ryan began to laugh, a big smile on his face. "Hahahahaa!!" he laughed loudly and stared into the night sky, being filled with glee.

"Oh, and I'm sure sneaking on without asking is a whole lot better," Matt muttered to himself as the eponymous vagabond walked to the deck.
"Is this him?" Mei-ling asked, taking in the state of the new person.
"Hi there!" Hsien-Ko said, breaking the ice by holding out her hand to the stranger. "I'm Hsien-Ko."
R.D. and Alasea quickly finished their food. The teen girl eyed Vagabond warily and stood a little closer to R.D. than normal. R.D. returned to man the helm, recorrecting their course towards Kattelox. Afterwards, he asked Alasea to take care of the steering, and exited.
He walked to the front of the boat and looked straight up into the sky. Something was nagging at him, and it was only getting more insistant. He sighed, searching the sky futily. He knew his friends were watching him with curious looks.
"Something is not right," he whispered, "Something is wrong."
A few little NPC kids walked up to him, dressed as a mummy, a maffioso, and... he twitched slightly. "What are you supposed to be?" He asked the third.
"I'm-a YOU, sir!" The child replied gleefully, grinning broadly. "Trick or treat!" The twitching became heavier, Morph started to shake a little. "WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS??!!" He shouted, pointing at the kid. A few other people looked his way.
"No treat?" The mummy-kid asked.
"Then youz be goeen' down, capice!" The little maffioso said. "TRICK!"
"I'll trick YOU!" Morph shouted back, a fireball forming in his hand. The children screamed and ran away.
"Heh." The fire died down. He smirked. "Works every time. I must say that that kid has chosen a good costume."
Though Vagabond didn't look like much of a gentleman, he certainly acted like one. "Bonjour, chéri." He said, and then took Hsien-Ko's hand, and gently kissed it. He let go f her hand, and grinned at her and her twin. "Might I ask your names?"
~Elsewhere~
Ryan Thresh wiped the blood off of his knife, and put back into its holster on his left hip. He flung his suit jacket over the knife to cover it up, and then started running north. I'm gonna go down in history for this one! He thought to himself as he continued to run.
