The Amazing Adventures of the Freak & Creep Association - Chapter #0001

[Deathtanz Mantisk]

"Aaaare sea pigs furry?" Salkut asked, taking slow steps further away from Yuki and his clothwear. Denim shook his head at him. Salkut nodded, turning to look towards the pipes, pointing right while shouting proudly: "Sooo that's where we're going!" Denim stared at him for a while, wondering on which of the two possibile events took place here. His captain had possibly decided that they'd go see a giant sea pig, and pointed towards the wrong direction. Or else he had decided not to, and pointed at the right direction. But knowing his trait of pointing to the wrong one, it'd be likely that he wished to go down a 5-hour fall.

Denim chuckled to himself, figuring a fine solution. "So that way it is!" He stated, while the ship began to turn to follow the pipeline to the right.

Meanwhile, at the island which the ship was headed to... The Big Four of the Roid Industries had been having plenty of time to prepare. Eagerness could be seen on their faces as they ran around randomly, constantly stopping to shout "Are they coming?!" in union towards Barry, who was staring through their loyal telescope. He shook his head, replying one last time with a tired voice: "Doesn't look like it- Stop." The other three wouldn't be let down. They kept being as enthusiastic as ever. Each kept rambling on and on about the 'awesome traps' they had set.

Seishin woke up and started stretching and flexing his muscles a bit, before starting to train his hawk-javelin a bit.

[Deathtanz Mantisk]

"Oi, Sam! Get dooown here! I've been wanting to taaaalk to you about something!" Salkut yelled up towards the crow's nest, making some incomprehensible hand signs while doing so. Denim wouldn't stop staring at the pipelines as the ship continued sailing. The surface of water seemed quite clear, and it looked as if there was something large going beneath them. As if the entire trail around the pipes had something below it. But the island they were headed for was nowhere in sight, so he figured it'd be all right.

On that specific island, Barry suddenly jumped out, waving his springy arms around while screaming: "I see them! I see them! They're coming- Stop!" The other three quickly stopped their game of tag, rushing to compete on the seat in front of the telescope. After some struggling, swearing, kicks, punches, a couple of low blows - and some biting - Lemmy stood up, raised a finger up and broadcasted: "I've got an idea...! Why'nt we build three more of these so we'nt gotta fight over em every time?" The other three stopped, staring at him with stupified looks on their faces. Everyone remained silent for some ten seconds, until they shook their heads in union while shouting: "Naaaah..." The fighting went on shortly after.

Seishin let out a long-drawn whistle to signal his hawk to get back to him. Within a matter of seconds, the hawk sat on Seishin's shoulder, observing the environment.

Seishin hopped down towards the deck and landed with a soft thud. After headbanging for a bit to get the hair out of his face, Seishin looked at Salkut to hear him out. With an expectant look and a little gesture, he signaled for Salkut to start talking.

[Deathtanz Mantisk]

Salkut nodded, crossing his arms in front of him, raising one of them up while waving his finger back and forth, closing his eyes as if lecturing die hard: "Through my shoooort yet extensive research - mostly consisting of puuure observation - I have noticed sooomething fascinating. Just two days ago baaack in the island, we fought that weird goooat-face guy. After the fight, he waaaas sort of incapacitated and powerless. Without a second thought, you kiiiilled him off!" Salkut pointed at Seishin as if this was something no one knew. Deo took a step back further away, gasping loudly. Mantis smacked him while maintaining his indifferent look.

Salkut went on, waving his finger once again: "And as eaaarlier, when we were at the island wiiith the contests... As we we're leaving, you suuunk a bunch of marine ships without even giving it a seeecond thought!" Once again he pointed at Seishin, raising his voice towards the end of it. Deo gasped again, now being accompanied by Denim who acted the same way. Mantis smacked both of them with the same expression as always covering his mug.

Salkut resumed the lecturing tone once again: "As weee may have noticed earlier, your straaange habits of wanting to not hurt random townsfolk, or in sooome cases marines, as proven when we met, I presume theeese actions feud against your earlier style... Thus..." He stopped, raising his head up slowly while looking grim. Suddenly he grinned widely, giving both thumbs up towards Seishin while broadcasting: "You're beeecoming a true pirate, an obnoxious scuuumbag who has no regret or care for the liiiives of others! Good job!" Deo and Denim gasped once more, taking slow steps back. Mantis tripped both of them with a simple leg move this time.

[Shadowing]

Seishin stood there, stupified. After standing there for a while, clearly not feeling comfortable, he spoke up: ''That's just because there are exceptions, as for that goat-man, he was a huge threat and by no means innocent, as for those marine ships, we had to, to ensure our escape would be succesful. Furthermore, when going into a total rage, my thoughts are totally shut off...and ehm,....Damn, this doesn't sound really convincing, now does it?'' He proceeded to look a bit sulky.

[Deathtanz Mantisk]

"Weeeell, another thing is that most of the machine-aaanimals and people back on the island two days ago... I thooought they weren't really working on their own free will. Even thought they maaay have attacked us first, it did seem quite suprising that you haaad no trouble whatsoever tearing them limb frooom limb." Salkut added, scratching his throat in the process.

Denim waved his hand around, still lying on his back after being tripped earlier, shouting out loud: "Oh, about that! I think I noticed something fascinating back there." Some questioning looks turned towards him. Denim continued, standing up from the ground as he did: "Back in north blue I heard of this man who worked as a shipwright... Due to some accident, a steel pole was struck through his head vertically." He pointed at his head from top and the chin, as if exhibiting how it'd happen. "According to some doctors, he was fine and could go on living... But his personality had changed and he had become much more violent."

"BOOOOOOOOORING!" Deo concluded, walking away. Denim ignored him, moving on: "The machine-people on the island all had these bolts sticking out of these parts of their heads. I'd presume that they've all got something struck through their head from that angle, which causes them to become more violent. That's why they attack people who enter the island without hesitation." Mantis joined in, asking: "Pray. But they were acting way too stupid, even thought they would be violent." Denim shrugged, not really knowing the reason for that.

OOC: I has been reading psychology! Ripped that off straight out of it. Let's just say all the androids had lobotomy performed on them to turn them into violent simpletons. xD

[Shadowing]

OOC: Cool! XD

Seishin looked quite anxious right now, since those things might have been more alive and kicking than he had thought.

[Deathtanz Mantisk]

"It'll all be aaaanswered once we've finished kicking kiddo aaaasses!" Salkut roared, shaking his fist towards a random direction in the horizon. The ship moved on, not too fast. The island was still nowhere around.

Tally had managed to win the fight over the telescope throne. He kept waving his head back and forth, having the usual idiotic grin and some fresh bruises all over him. The other three stood in a row further away, staring at Tally with certain looks of disdain on their faces. "He can't even see anything- Stop." Barry commented. Jetty and Lemmy nodded slowly at that. After a while, Lemmy began shaking, until shouting loudly: "It's is taking'm way too long to get're! Let's just go and activate Jaws...!" Barry and Jetty yelled happily in glee, as the three stormed out of the room. Tally kept looking left and right, bonking his head into the telescope every now and then, while talking alone in the room: "Ho! Tally thinks Tally got a visual on them creeks now, guys...! Guys?"

Jetty, Barry and Lemmy reached a small chamber with what looked like four bicycles in the middle of it. Barry rushed over to turn some creaks and kick some buttons, while the other two jumped on the bicycles. Barry joined them in hastly, breathing heavily from all the running around. All of them started cycling rapidly, which caused masses of steam to fill up the room. Loud noises of gears moving could be heard, along with other noises of heavy machinery moving.

At the ship of the Association, something was happening. Loud voice seemed to echo from the sea, resembling a distant moan. The murky part under the pipelines seemed to grow larger and larger, as something approached the ship from below the water. Heads were turning left and right aboard the ship, as it was obvious that something would happen in any second now.

[Suiken no Hatori]

Sanada turned a little pale.
"I think they just activated the robot they call Jaws."
