CHAPTER7

(Ryujin punches Henry Morgens with his lighting fist. This sends him crashing to the ground.)

MARINES

(surprised.)

Ehh! That Red hair managed to take down Henry Morgens. You’re telling me that’s he’s that strong!

TENDA

Amazing.

SKYE

That’s my captain for sure.

RYUJIN

Not yet. He’s not down yet.

TENDA

Eh?!

(Henry wakes up. He cracks his neck.)

HENRY

That was one hell of a punch, Red Hair. But that’s not enough to bring down someone like me.

SKYE

Should I help you in this fight, Ryujin?

RYUJIN

No. I’ll handle him myself.

TENDA

Are you going to fight that monster?! You can’t—

RYUJIN

Just watch and see Tenda…

HENRY

Pay attention in battle you fool!

(He aims his iron axe at Ryujin. Ryujin grabs the neck and breaks the iron axe.)

SKYE

He broke it?

TENDA & MARINES

THAT GUY IS A MONSTER!!!!

HENRY

You managed to break my iron axe?! It’s made out of the hardest material in the whole of the East Sea!

RYUJIN

Maybe it was a fake.

HENRY

I don’t need an axe to kill you. I’ll use my gift instead!

(His gift glows as he smashes the ground causing it to shake.)

RYUJIN

Oi! Oi! OI! What the hell is going on? Is there an earth quake taking place?!

HENRY

This is the power of my gift. I’m not going to let you escape Red Hair. Eat this!

(He aims his fist at Ryujin.)

RYUJIN

…!

(Ryujin blocks the fist as there’s a line of elemental energy being formed from the impact.)

RYUJIN

Ugh!

HENRY

Hahahahahaha! How do you like it now Red Hair? My fist is way stronger than yours.

RYUJIN

....

(The ground starts to crack.)

TENDA

This is bad. At this rate, Ryujin is going to lose.

SKYE

Just shut up and watch. Believe in Ryujin.

TENDA

Oh, okay. Do your best Ryujin.

RYUJIN

You imbued your fist with elemental energy to deliver a blow at me. That would have killed a normal human. But I’m way stronger. So such attacks won’t work on me.

(His fist get charged with lightning.)

HENRY

How are you able to control the elements without using a gift?

RYUJIN

If I tell you now… it will be a spoiler for the readers.

(His electro element pushed Henry away.)

HENRY

…

RYUJIN

It’s time to put an end to it.

HENRY

Bring it on brat! Geo impact!

(He charges at Ryujin with his fist in the air imbued with Geo elemental energy that hardens his fist.)

RYUJIN

My turn. Lightning fist

(He does the same as he charges at Henry. He dodges Henry’s fist and delivers a fatal blow at Henry’s face crashing him down. This time Henry blacks out. There’s a mark of Ryujin’s fist on his face.)

MARINES

He did it. Red Hair actually defeated Henry. Hooray! We’re finally free from that tyrant.

SKYE

Looks like the marines hated him.

(Later on in the restaurant. Ryujin and Skye are eating ravenously.)

SKYE

How many days has it been? Since I last ate some delicious food!

RYUJIN

Ms. We need some more food.

TENDA

You guys are gluttons to the core.

(The door opens as some marines enter the door.)

MARINE CAPTAIN

We would like to have a word with you, Red hair.

RYUJIN

What do you want?

MARINE CAPTAIN

On behalf of the marines, we would like to thank you for saving us and this town from Henry Morgens.

RYUJIN

Sure. It’s no problem.

MARINE CAPTAIN

However, since you’re pirates. We would like you to leave the island.

RYUJIN

Don’t worry about it. We were about to leave.

(The girl starts to tear up.)

GIRL

Are you going leave?

SKYE

Yeah. But I’ll come back and tell you about our tales.

GIRL

Okay. You have to promise me.

SKYE

I will. Pinkie promise.

(Tenda heads to the marine captain.)

TENDA

Um… is it possible for me to join you guys?

MARINE CAPTAIN

What’s your name?

TENDA

Tenda.

MARINE CAPTAIN

Sure. You can join the marines. But we have a record that says that you were with pirates.

TENDA

…

RYUJIN

Tenda was held captive by pirates. And he escaped from them. He never associates himself with pirates.

MARINE CAPTAIN

Is that true?

TENDA

It’s true. My mission is to capture all pirates and bring them to justice.

MARINE CAPTAIN

Smirks! I like your spirit Kid. Welcome to the marines.

(As the sun sets, Ryujin and Skye are on a boat with their food supplies. Tenda comes and waves at them.)

TENDA

Thank you so much Ryujin. I’ll never forget this debt.

RYUJIN

Sure Tenda. The next time we meet… you have to get stronger so that you can fight me.

TENDA

I will! Just wait and see Ryujin I’ll get stronger than you!

(The boat sails away from the island as Ryujin and Skye start their adventure as pirates.)
