The Warrior of Chaos! Charlie and Senshi's Greatest Challenge!! Part 2

Abaddon's Fortress, the next morning.
''Senshi is still chained tightly to the cross, she's asleep but barley. The pain kept waking her in the night and sheer exhaustion finnaly allowed her to sleep. The gates infront of her open and sunlight pours into the arena hitting her face. The light stirs her, she wakes up but the light is too bright and her vision is clouded in white. When her eyes finnaly adjust, she sees a menacing face. The face of Abaddon. ''

Abaddon: Oh good you're finnally awake, I hope those chains were nice and comfotable for you're spine.

''He smirks with an insane edge, Senshi goes to spit at him again but he holds her cheeks tightly. Making sure that she cannot do a single thing that involves her mouth. ''

Abaddon: Now listen to me, I want you to keep you're pretty little face right here so that you stay out of trouble until you're friends get here. When you're friends get here, I want you to say something nice and meaningful to them. Because when they get here I'm going to either kill them by ripping of their heads or I'll be coming down to snap you're pretty little neck. I haven't decided which I'll do yet. Ofcourse there is always option number three, I allow you to be freed and let you fight me alongside you're comrades. Thats the funnest one of all, because then I can watch as you struggle to survivie at the same time as you watch you're friends die. One... By...One.... SEHAHAHAHAHA! But I'll only do that option if I deem them worthy, if they stop me from doing option one or option two then they will be worthy of facing option three. And if that happens, oh boy are we gonna have some fun!

''He licks his lips and then unleashes a massive resonance of laughter with his screeching Sehahaha laugh. Though her fear was great, she didn't let it show. She shot Abaddon her best I'm-gonna-kill-you-when-I-get-out-of-here look. Abaddon then squeezes Senshi's face tighter. ''

Abaddon: Oh don't give me that face... Frowns will give you wrinkles when you're older... But then that is only providing that you survive long enough! SEHAHAHAHAHA!... Well then as much as this little chat is engaging, I need to get to where I need to be. Preparations for the arrival of our guests is now beginning! Sehahahaha!

''Abaddon then compleltey dissappeard from where he had been, he was now where to be seen. He wasn't even anywhere to be sensed. Senshi was left seemingly alone in the arena. Still chained to her cross. Positive that he wouldn't see her, she started crying.''

Senshi's Thoughts: Charlie.....Everyone..... Please..... Help me.

On The Shifting Tide, in the brig.
''Valkerie had been telling the truth. Despite his status as prisoner, he was being treated well. Victoria had brought him a full meal instead of prison food. Even the thin bed in his cell was clean, though he didn't sleep. Charlie hadn't moved from where he had been sitting when Val and Rei had left him. He sat with his hands together and his head facing the ground, beside him was plate. It had a knife and fork crossed on top of it. He had at least eaten but apart from that had done nothing but think to himself.He had been thinking so much, it had felt as if he'd been awake all night even if he had closed his eyes. He continued to think to himself even now... ''

Charlie's Thoughts: Senshi, I have decided I will save you. Even if I have to use all the techniques I hate to use... Every trick up my sleeve.... No matter what I have to do I will save you Senshi! I'm even prepared to die for this. However strong this Abaddon is, he isn't stronger than my will to save you!

''Then he feels a presence in his head. Then he hears Senshi's voice.''

Senshi's Thoughts: Charlie........Everyone......... Please........... Help me.

Charlie's Thoughts: S-Senshi! Senshi! I'm here! Are you alright?!

''He hears no reply. ''

Charlie's Thoughts: Damn it! She must be close! I must find her!

''He flings himself from his seat and kicks down the door of his cell. The Devil Spawns hear the massive clang sound that the door makes as it is broken. But before they can go down to the Brig and see what has happened, Charlie had appeared on the deck of the ship. Burakku unsheathed his sword and pointed it at Charlie. ''

Burakku: What are you doing?! You're meant to be a prisoner!

''Charlie shoots him a fierce gaze. ''

Charlie: NOT NOW!

''Charlie then begins to dart around the ship, as if he were looking for something. His hand was placed on the side of his head, as if he were trying to use it as some sort of sattelite dish. Rex looked at him puzzled and slightly angry. ''

Rex: What on Earth are you doing?!

''Charlie continued darting around the ship, he answered but half heartedly. He was to preoccupied to speak in any amount of depth. ''

Charlie: I'm looking for Senshi!

Rex: What do you mean "looking for Senshi"? We're at the coordinates you told us and there is nothing here! You lied to us!

Charlie: No I didn't lie! I just heard her!

Rex: Heard her?

''Charlie ignored him and ran up onto the back of the ship. He pointed. ''

Charlie: There!

''Rex came up and stood next to him, Charlie was pointing at a giant rock at least 500 meters wide and 200 meters tall. ''

Rex: Have you gone insane there is nothing there!

''Charlie smirked and licked his lips. He then thrusted his hands forward. ''

Charlie: No she is there! I can feel her mind all the way from here! That is Abaddon's Fortress!

Rex: What?! It obviously isn't its just a big rock!

''Charlie's muscles tensed up and his eyes faintly glowed purple. ''

Charlie: No! The rock is just camoflage!

''He then began to slowly pulls his arms, the water around the rock began to churn and the rock began to shake. To Rex's amazement and to the other Devil Spawns who were watching, the rock began to come apart. Unveiling a secret within it. Slowly, Abaddon's fortress came into view. It was a massive building, dark and dingy in apperance but grand and fierce in it's design. Finnally the rocks were pulled from in front of the fortress entirely. Charlie then lowered his arms and let out a breath of air, he then smirked and looked at Rex. ''

Charlie: See, I told you it was there.

Burakku lowerred his sword and stared.

Valkerie: Senshi's in there?

Rei's Thoughts: I can feel her.

Valkerie and Rei walked over to Charlie.

Rex: We'll talk about you destroying our cell once you've saved Senshi.

''Valkerie lowered a small dinghy into the water and climbed in. Rei also hopped in. Charlie then joined them, they then rowed in between the Shifting Tide and the Crimson Express. Charlie then shouted to both crews. ''

Charlie: Alright all of you guys need to work together and cause a distraction! We'll stay hidden for now. Once you guys have drawn enough of their attention, give us a signal and we'll sneak in unnoticed. Takeshi!

Takeshi: Yeah?

Charlie: *Smirking* You know the signal right?

Takeshi: *Smirking back* Ofcourse I do.

Charlie: Good good! Alright everyone good luck and lets move out!

Inside the Fortress.
Abaddon stood over Senshi smirking.

Abaddon: Your friends haven't come yet. Can you really call them your friends.

Senshi smirks.

Senshi: They'll....... Be here..... With...... Fangs.......Bared.

Abaddon prepared a witty comeback, but a sudden explosion stopped him.

BLAM!!!!!

Sounds of cannon fire came from everywhere.

Senshi: They........ Came.

Abaddon bared his teeth in a manic smile, he snarls and his eyes burn with murderous ecstasy.

Abaddon: I do love it when I'm wrong! It makes the hunt so much more fun! The lions have come with their fangs bared to save their pride mate! And the hunter is lying in wait with his gun cocked and ready to fire! Oh it's going to be a blood bath! Sehahahaha!

''Abaddon then disappeared once more, Senshi felt mixed feelings. She was happy that her friends had arrive but she was also fearful. Fearful of the what she thought Abaddon was truly capable of. What Abaddon's true power was. And what that power could do to her friends.''

Outside the Fortress
''The Devil Spawns and The Technicolours were raising hell, fighting side by side. Hundreds of soldiers had come out to greet them, but not a single one could break their resolve. Not even the cannons could break their spirits. They were hear to save a friend and nothing would stop them. Even if their screams were droned out by cannons they would just scream louder.''

Burakku: So When is this signal gonan happen then and what is it?

He slashes through a soldier.

Takeshi: Don't worry about it, all you need to know is it has something to do with this barrel on my back.

''He punches a soldier and then slashes another with his sword. Meanwhile on the dinghy, Valkerie, Rei and Charlie are getting ever closer. Meanwhilse Charlie, Silver and Rei remain hidden and out of sight.''

Valkerie: Anything else from Senshi?

Charlie: No not yet, I can sense her but she's weak. We'll have to hurry but we need to wait for the signal first.

Suddenly, the signal comes back.

Senshi: Please...... Anybody.......Answer me....

Charlie: Wait! I can hear her!

''He begins to reach out to her. ''

Charlie's Thoughts: Senshi! Can you hear me?! Are you alright?! We've come to rescue you! Do you where abouts you are?!

Senshi: Charlie?.......CHARLIE!!! Where are you? You need to leave now! It's a trap. He waiting for-*

''Then as suddenly as she appeared, she's gone. Rei whimpers and hugs his head. ''

Charlie: Damn... She was there for one second... Damn it!

Valkerie: What did she say?

Charlie: *Looks at Valkerie* She said that we should leave, that its a trap. She doesn't want us to get hurt, she's such a fool.

Valkerie:That sounds like Senshi all right. Can you talk to her again? Find out where she is.

Charlie: I can try but she's weak....

Once again Charlie trys to reach out to her.

Charlie's Thoughts: Senshi! Can you hear me?! Please tell me where you are we're coming!

''Instead of Senshi's voice, he gets a deep voice. The voice of Abaddon. ''

Abbadon's Thoughts: Hello there Charlie.

''Charlie's eyes flair with surprise, how the hell was Abaddon able to do this? What had he done with Senshi,.Charli's blood began to boil and his face turned istantly from worry to unfathomable rage. ''

Charlie's Thoughts: YOU BASTARD! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH HER!

Abaddon's Thoughts: Don't you worry, she's safe. She's taking a nap whilst her new best friend waits for her other friends to come and try and pick her up from our playdate. Sehahahaha! And what a fun playdate it was, we played so many games with one another. There was so much pain involved you can't begin to imagine my enjoyment! SEHAHAHAHAHA!

Charlie's Thoughts: BASTARD! I AM GOING TO ERASE EVERYTHING THAT YOU ARE! DO YOU HEAR ME!

Abaddon's Thoughts: Oh Ho Temper, temper. I'll be looking forward to watching you try! SEHAHAHAHAHA!

Suddenly the telepathic wave length has been cut off, as if Abaddon had chosen to let Charlie inside it.

Charlie: BASTARD!

Valkerie: You alright?

Rei: That ****, we'll kill him

Charlie: Yeah, though I'd rather leave him in a state worse than death.

''He clenches his firsts tightly and his eyes begin to glow a harsh purple. He is near the point of absolutley losing it. ''

Valkerie: We'll find her. She's a tough girl. She wouldn't let some bastard knock her around.

Rei: But he has, she's in serious pain. I don't know how much more she can take.

''Charlie begins to calm down, he smirks at Valkeri. ''

Charlie: No Valkerie is right, she won't go down so easy. Even if she is knocked out.

Valkerie: Yeah.

They both look over towards where the others are fighting.

Charlie: It's all up to the others now.

Valkerie: Let's go kill that bastard.

Back to Abaddon and his preparations
''Abaddon, stands infront of Senshi. She is completley out of it, seeming as if she has finnaly been broken. ''

Abaddon: SEHAHAHA! Oh he is a barrel of laughs isn't he?! Sehahahaha!

''He turns around to Senshi and examines her from top to bottom. She is bruised and bloodied all over her body. Abaddon then grabs her chin, Senshi remains motionless. ''

Abaddon: Oh you're not done yet are you? I was so hoping to savour you're death...

''He brings his head closer to hers. ''

Abaddon: I had so hoped to get a real good taste.

''He sticks his tongue out and brings it slowly closer to Senshi's cheek. He is preparing to lick her with it's rasping slitherine edge. As if by instinct, Senshi awakens, her eyes open in a flash and with what little strength she has left she tilts her head away from Abaddon's tongue. Abaddon then brings his head away from her. ''

Abaddon: Oh good you're not quite dead yet. Althought to be honest I could kill you right now...

''He slides his hand down from her chin and grabs her neck tightly squeezing as if his hand was a hangman's noose. ''

Abaddon: But then again what would be the fun in that?

''He lets go off her neck and lets it slump down. He allows it to go down the length of Senshi's body before he loses contact with her. To give her one final shiver down her spine before the show truly begins. ''

Abaddon: If I killed you now, noone would see it. And whats the point in doing something so meaningful alone? Thats what my old man used to say. Sehaha, I hated that man. So orderly, so peaceful. Oh I was so happy when I squeezed the life out of him. SEHAHAHAHA! And now I simply can't stop stealing people's lives from them! When you're friends get here... Oh we're going to have so much murderous and brutal fun! SEHAHAHAHA!

''He then disappears once more, leaving Senshi alone again on the cross. Senshi sagged against her chains. Her strength was gone, her spirit, gone. She was a shell. All she had left was a little spark of strength left, but it was fading fast. If she didn't get help soon, she would die. She looked up at the sky and a single tear rolled down her face. Then her eyes rolled back in her head and she sagged. ''

Back at the outside of the fortress.
''The Devil Spawns and Technicolours still continue fighting bravily, they face overwhelming numbers which have been growing each time they knock out a soldier. But they continue fighting hard, Takeshi watches the soldier's entering the battle field carefully. He lies in wait for the oppurtunity to create his signal. ''

Takeshi's Thoughts: These soldiers just keep on coming, but I have to wait a little longer until creating the signal. I need to make sure that every single soldier is out here then I can do the signal.

''He slashes through five more men and the leaps to where Burakku is. ''

Takeshi: *Smiling* So Burakku, are you enjoying yourself?

Burakku: Ask me once Senshi's at the wheel.

''He slashed ten more men, his face impassive. then he shiverred''

Burakku: I think you might want to send the signal. I've got a feeling that......

He became silent and continued to fight.

Takeshi: Alright, I'll send it as soon as I can. Just gotta wait for....

''Takeshi has been watching the soldiers as they've come out to fight. For the last 5 minutes noone else has come out to greet them. He makes his mind up, all of the soldiers are out on the battlefied. ''

Takeshi: Haha! It's time! Burakku cover me I need to have a drink.....

''Takeshi takes the barrel off of his back. Burakku looks at him slightly puzzled but gets infront of Takeshi to gaurd him. Takeshi begins to chug down the barrel and in less than a minute he finished the barrel, he wipses his mouth and then breaks the barrel with just the tap of his finger. ''

Takeshi: GUYS IT'S TIME! MOVE OUT OF THE WAY!

''All of the Devil Spawns and the Technicolours look at Takeshi, they then all fall back. The soldiers not knowing what is to come, follow the two crews and become a near perfect straight line parralel to Takeshi. Takeshi raises his sword above his head and prepares to swing. ''

Takeshi: Kami No....

''He then swings his sword down with huge force. ''

'''Takeshi: SURRASHU! '''

''A giant blast of energy unleashes itself from his sword, creating a giant flash of light. It soars accross the battlefield cutting through the soldiers, the ground, everything in the giant slashes path was cut down as if it were nothing. The giant blast then sailed from the fortresses' grounds and cut accross the water. It then finnally dissipated in a blinding flash of light. On the fortress grounds, a giant groove had been left in it's wake. The groove was incredibly smooth, as if it hadn't just been cut but sanded as well. Alot of the soldiers had been taken out by the attack but many still remaind. Over at Charlie's, Valkerie's and Rei's position, Charlie smirked. ''

Charlie: Thats the signal! Lets go!

Valkerie: *whistles* Your crew never ceases to surprise me.

''The three start rowing, Rei looking toward the base in anticipation..... and worry.''

Rei: Something is wrong. I can't feel her anymore.

Charlie: As I said she's weak... We'll just have to hope for the best, and if the worst has happend...

''He eyes begin to glow a harsh purple, as the boat moves it gets fasted the harsher Charlie's eyes glow. ''

Charlie: I will erase that man and everything he is from existence...

''The trio made there way towards the now wide open door. As they sneak in, they imagine what they will do when they meet up with Abaddon. Eventually, they get into the arena. There they see Senshi chained to a cross. She's covered in blood and cuts. She has a large bruise on her cheek and blood is running from her nose and the side of her mouth. ''

Charlie: Senshi! Damn this is worse than I thought!

''He frantically looks around. ''

Charlie: It doesn't look like that bastard is here btu I dunno it seems to good to be true. I can't sense him anywhere can you Valkerie?

''Valkerie isn't paying attention to Charlie. He is staring at Senshi's unconsious form on the cross. Her fists clench as if strangling Abaddon right in that second. Charlie was on his own. ''

Charlie: Damn it... Oh well, go to her you two. I'll keep a look out. Both of you go and make sure he's alright, try get her out as quick as you can.

''Valkerie and Rei slowly creep out onto the field. As they walked, Charlie heard HIS voice in his head.''

Abaddon: Like shooting fish in a barrel.

''Valkerie got ever closer to Senshi. The second her hand touched hers, Abaddon leaped down from his perch, a sword in his hand, aimed straight at Val's back. ''

'CLANG! '

''Charlie had leapt to Valkerie's aid and was now in a dead lock with Abaddon. He was able to hold him back, but barely. ''

Abaddon: Oh you are good! Sehahahahaha!

''Abaddon then leapt back, he lunged towards Senshi with his hand. Aiming to completley break her neck. He got within milimeters of touching her throat. But before he could lay his insane hands upon her, Charlie hit him with a large burst of telekinetic energy sending him flying through a wall and into the main part of the arena. Charlie began to run after him. ''

Charlie: Valerie! Rei! Stay here and look after Senshi! Abaddon is mine!

''Charlie disappeard through demolished wall, leaving Val and Rei to tend to Senshi. Valkerie pulled out the sword that tightenned the chains. then she gently pulled her loose from them. She fell into a heap in her arms.''

Valkerie: Senshi. Wake up. We're rescuing you.

''Senshi didn't respond. she just laid there. Rei walked over and put his ear to her chest. Then he started franticaaly nudging her.''

Rei: No...... please....NO!!!!

Valkerie: Senshi, you need to wake up. WAKE UP!!!

''Senshi didn't wake up. Charlie had heard every word that Valkerie and Rei had screamed, their crys resonated through his head. He clenched his fists and grinded his teeth, his eyes both showed saddness and unparalled fury. Abaddon watched him from the shadows and laughed... ''

Abaddon: SEHAHAHAHAHA! So I did it! I completley broke the infamous Roronoa Senshi! SEHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh this is such a treat! I was so hoping I could present her corpse as a gift to you and all you're friends Charlie and now I get my chance! SEHAHAHAHAHAHA!

''Charlie raised his head upwards, his face showed nothing apart from fury. The fury that can only come from someone whose seen their friend die and then seen someone mock their death. The entire fortress began to shake, the shaking became more and more violent as Charlie's power and anger grew. His eyes glowed a harsher and more blinding purple than a person could ever think possible. His hair began to stand on end, his clothes started to ripple and even his entire body irradiated a purple aura. ''

Charlie: YOU BASTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARD!

''The floor cracked under the immense pressure of Charlie's power, there was a giant flash of purple light. Charlie had transformed. He had iniated it, the '''Berserker Mode. '

Charlie: Nothing is going to save you now.... NOW COME OUT AND FACE ME COWARD!

''Abaddon then suddenly appeared behind Charlie. He had launched himself from the shadows. ''

Abaddon: HERE I AM!

''He launched a hugely powerful punch towards Charlie, Charlie managed to dodge out of the way but just barely. The punch smashed into the floor completley destroyed the layers of dirt that were there and going through to the metal beneath, bending it as if it were nothing. Charlie then charged towards Abaddon and screamed. ''

Charlie: RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!

''Valkerie knelt on the ground, cradling Senshi. Rei laid next to her, fat doggy tears rolling down his snout. ''

Valkerie: Charlie. Kill that son of a B****.

''Charlie heard Valkerie despite his screams and as he started to trade blows with Abaddon. He gave Valkerie a message through Telepathy. He spoke in a very somber, almost psychotic tone. ''

Charlie's Thought: I will......

''Charlie then proceeded to continue trading punches with Abaddon, both combatants landed hit after hit. Niether feeling the dull effect of each others blows. They both then launched two huge punches at the same time, they connected, hitting each other in the face and created a massive shockwave. They were both sent flying and both smashed straight into the walls of the arena. Charlie pulled himself out of the rubble and spoke to Valkerie and Rei through his telepathy. ''

Charlie's Thoughts: Valkerie... Rei... Both of you, take Senshi's body and get out of here. I have a feeling that in you're states, you're only going to get in my way hear. Take Senshi out fo here and show her to the guys.... They have a right to know.....

Valkerie's Thoughts: You realize if you survive this, we won't spare you.

Charlie's Thoughts: I don't care..... Go!

''Valkerie picked up Senshi's body, and held her tight. She then begins to run and Rei follows. Charlie then addresses Abaddon....''

Charlie: I know you're still here Abaddon! Come out and face me!

''Abaddon then speaks Charlie doesn't know where his voice is coming from, it seems likes its coming from every direction. ''

Abaddon: Oh I don't know, going after the pretty girl and the dog might be a bit funner....

Charlie: DON'T YOU EVEN TRY YOU SCUM!

''Charlie releases a large burst of telekinetic energy, scattering the clutter of dirt and bricks all around the arena and damgaing the floor and wall. ''

Charlie: You even try and I will scramble you're brains until there is nothing left!

Abaddon: Oh my how fearsome... Very well I'll continue playing with you for now then. Sehahahaha!

''As Charlie faced Abaddon, Rei and Valkerie ran with Senshi's body. When they got to the ships, The fights were done, the armies, vanquished. Now everyone stood there, waiting for Senshi's return.''

Burakku: You see them?

Takeshi: No, not ye- Wait. I SEE THEM!!

''Everyone turns to see Rei and Valkerie walking sollumly towards the ship. Valkeriehas taken Senshi off Rei's back and is holding her in her arms. Everyone can tell immediantly what that means. The Devil Spawns go silent. Burakku grips his sword tightly as tears roll down his face. Victoria, Vearth, Suna and Ishi are all bawling. The rest stand there comepletely still. Meanwhile inside the fortress Charlie was fighting Abaddon with all of his might. He condensed a large amount of telekinetic energy in his hand, creating a small, purple ball of energy. He prepared to fire it.''

Charlie: Take this you bastard!

''He fires the ball of energy straight at Abaddon at high speed, Abaddon backhanded it. It exloded and expanded as soon as it made contact, creating a giant purple shockwave like explosion. Out of the light and smoke, Abaddon came lunging straight at Charlie, he went to knee Charlie in the gut. Charlie put up a shield but Abaddon was too strong, he broke through hitting Charlie at full force. Charlie rocketed towards the wall of the fortress itself, he bounced against it leaving a dent on impact. But Abaddon wasn't done yet, as soon as Charlie had hit the wall he rocketed over to Charlie kneed him again, then again and then again in a barrage of knee attacks to the gut. Each one buckling and denting the walls of the 20ft think steel walls of the fortress. After the final knee, Charlie spat a large amout of blood from his mouth. It landed on Abaddon's face, chest and arms. He licked it off his face and swelled it in his mouth, enjoying the taste. He then threw Charlie accross the room into the center of the ring and proceeded to lick the blood off of his arms. Once again he swelled in his mouth and savoured the taste. ''

Abaddon: You are a fun one Charlie, someone who never gives up... Never surrenders.... Someone who gets angry at the very mention of someone hurting their precious friends.... Oh you're the funnest kind of person to break! SEHAHAHAHAHA!

''Charlie slowly gets up off of the floor, he coughs up blood before he gets off of one knee. He finnally stands up staggering but ready to continue the fight. He's smiling. ''

Charlie: You know... Even if I fail, there are all of my friends waiting outside.... Whether they avenge me or not I don't care... But they will avenge her.

Abaddon: SEHAHAHAHAHAHA! You think you're friends can defeat me?! Even combined they could not defeat me! I am the ultimate warrior! No one can defeat me! The only people that have are people that are long since dead! SEHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Outside, Ishi is examining Senshi's body.

Ishi's thoughts: There's no way your dead. Even if there's a spark, I'll find it.

Valkerie and Burakku, the ones that cared about Senshi the most, are geared up to fight.

Valkerie: I don't care what Charlie said. I'm going to kill that bastard, then I'm going to drag his soul out of the soul plain and kill him again.

Burakku: I'm coming too.

The two start to run for the hideout, but they are stopped by Takeshi and Palmer.

Takeshi: I'm sorry you two! You can't interfere! In the state you're both in you'll only get in Charlie's way!

Palmer: Yeah you've gotta stay put for now! Please listen!

Ishi then hears something.

Ishi: Guys.

Valkerie: Let. Us. Go. Now.

Palmer: Nope. Not a good idea.

Ishi: Guys!

Burakku: If you don't let us go right now...

Takeshi: You can't go in there!

Ishi takes a deep breath.

Ishi: GUYS!!!!!

''Everyone turns to her. She whispers frantically and everybodies eyes widen. Back at Charlie's fight with Abaddon, the fight is getting harder and harder. Even in his Berserker Mode it's starting to look bad for Charlie, Abaddon was so incredibly powerful. Every blow Charlie landed seemed like it did barely anything noticeable, whilst the blows Abaddon landed on Charlie were taking a significant toll. But Charlie was determined, he had to do this for his own crew, for The Devil Spawns, for Silver and Rei and.... For Senshi. ''

Abaddon: This isn't all you've got is it? I was expecting more from someone of you're reputation. It seems you're friends death was truly in vain....

Charlie: Shut you're mouth! What would you know!

''Charlie rockets towards Abaddon launching a huglely powerful punch embued with telekinetic power. However Abaddon blocks the hit, there is a shockwave from the hit. Charlie then growls and punches again and again. With each punch he unleashes more and more power, each punch becomes stronger, faster and has more haki and telekinetic energy embued onto them. ''

Charlie: I will defeat you!.... FOR SENSHI!!

''Charlie finnaly managed to open Abaddon's defenses, Abaddon's eyes lit up with surprise but they still had a insane edge to them and not a hint of fear. Charlie smashed Abaddon in the face with the most powerful punch yet and as Abaddon began to topple, Charlie held both of his hands in front of Abaddon's face and began to condense a huge amount of telekinetc energy. He blasted them right into Abaddon's face, a huge purple shockwave engulfed both of them. It was so huge it covered the enitre arena with it's light and power, the entire fortress began to shake violently from the incredibly power of the explosion, niether Charlie nor Abaddon could be seen in the massive dome of energy. As the explosion dissipated, and the dust settled. Both Charlie could be seen, in exactly the same positions as they were before. Charlie had managed to put a shield around him to save himself from the damge of his own attack. Abaddon however had been hit at full force, his body was smoldering from the huge amount of energy that was unleashed upon him. He was completley motionless, Charlie looked at him wondering if it had worked. He got his answer, Abaddon opening his eyes and smiled psychoticallly. ''

Abaddon: BOO!

''Abaddon crashed his fist straight into Charlie's stomach with incredible force, Charlie coughed up blood but this was the least of his problems. Abaddon countinued to punch him, repeatedly each punch as powerful and bone shattering as the first. Charlie could do nothing he was completley at the mercy of Abaddon, this titan that once went toe to toe with people such as Whitebeard and even Roger. ''

Abaddon: SEHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Don't lose cosciousness yet Charlie! The fun has only just begun! SHHHHHAAAAAAA!!

''Abaddon's punches became faster and even stronger. Charlie was getting hit more and more, for the first time in his life since he had fought Kizaru all those years ago as a rookie he felt almost completley helpless. After hitting him senselessly, Abaddon grabbed Charlie by the throat and slammed him into a wall. The impact of the slam left a large dent in the incredibly thick steel wall. He prepared to finish Charlie off.... ''

Abaddon: Well then this was fun, but it's time to end this. I need to go and pay you're friends a little visit.... Hmmmmmm I think I'll present them a second present to go along with Senshi's corpse. I think you can guess what it'll be....

''Abaddon began to squeeze tighter and tighter, he didn't just want to kill Charlie he wanted to make him suffer. Charlie screamed in pain, he began to think to himself....''

Charlie's Thoughts: Is this really it?! After coming this far have I..... Have I really failed her twice?!

Abaddon: TIME TO SAY GOOD BYE! SEHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Suddenly, a voice screams out.

????: NO WAY IN HELL!!!!!

''A large wave of haki blanketed Abaddon. he froze and slowly released Charlie. As he slowly started breathing again, he saw Senshi, alive, still bloody, and as angry as Hell. She ran over and threw Abaddon toward the other side of the arena. Then she ran to Charlie's side.''

Senshi: You alright?

''It was obvious she was still injured. Blood was still running from the various cuts on her. She was walking with a slight limp and she obviously had some broken ribs on her right side. Charlie began to speak, he coughed up blood as he did.''

''Charlie: S-S..... Senshi?''

As weak as he was his determined smirk appeared on his face. 

''Charlie: You're alive.... I'm so glad..... But.....''

Charlie slowly stood, he leant against the wall. As he stood up he stumbled, Senshi caught him. He slowly raised his head up, his face showed a determined look, his signature smirk showed feelings of both joy and determination. 

''Charlie: I'm the one...Whose meant to be saving you.... Remember?.... You're in no condition to fight him....Stay out of this.....''

''Senshi: You're faring no better. We need to work together.''

'She pulls him to his feet as the rest of the pirates run into the arena.'

''Senshi: They're here to make sure I don't shut down again. Now are you ready to fight?''

Charlie looked at Senshi with a joyful but also caring gaze. He smiled a brotherly and warm smile. 

''Charlie: I suppose you're right.... And we can't exactly keep them in suspense can we?''

He nods and smirks one again. 

Charlie: Lets go!

Senshi and Charlie charge at Abaddon. Still dazed by the Haki, he is slow to react, giving Senshi time to punch him in the mouth. Charlie then delivers a powerful kick to Abaddon's mid section. All three fighters remain frozen, Senshi and Charlie waited to see if their attacks had worked and Abaddon was still reeling from the haki burst. Then Abaddon's eyes rolled slowly towards them and his wicked smile crept onto his face like an evening shadow. 

''Abaddon: So now I have two combatants! SEHAHAHAHAHA! How fun!''

Abaddon backhanded Senshi and then kicked Charlie away with incredible force, he then threw done his cloak revealing his incredibly muscular and scarred body. He laughed again with an ear splitting screech.

''Abaddon: SEHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Just because there are two of you doesn't mean that you will win! I am the ultimate warrior! Noone can stop me! SEHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!''

''Senshi: Damn...(cough)..... We need to bring this guy down. But how?''

She slowly rose to her feet, shaking as she did. She turned to Charlie.

Senshi: There has to be a way to beat this guy.

Charlie: I dunno, best bet is to just go to full power and hope for the best.

He turns to Senshi and smiles. 

''Charlie: I'm not gonna lie, my Berserker Mode earlier wasn't at full power because I didn't want to get any attention from his men. But now that I don't have to worry about accidentally calling in hundreds of men, I can really cut loose. What do you say? How about we go to full power and tear this place and him apart?''

He extends his fist towards Senshi, in a respectful and team work like manner. Senshi smiles and does the same. Then she turns comepletely gold.

''Senshi: Anger level...... Code GOLD!!''

She stands, her injuries ignored. She straightened and smiled at Charlie.

Senshi: Lets kick his ass.

Charlie begins to build up his power, the ground shakes, his eyes burn the brightest purple yet. His hair stands on end and he gain a burning purple aura. Charlie has gone Full Power Berserker Mode. 

Charlie: Yes, Lets.

Senshi ran forward and grabbed Abaddon. She held him in a lock that left his chest wide open for attack. Charlie embued a larged amount of telekinetic energy onto his fists and lunged straight towards Abaddon, he then smacked Abaddon at full force. Abaddon reeled from the punch and was forced to cough up some blood and spit. Charlie then continued to punch Abaddon at incredibly high speed, hitting him at least 100 times or more screaming at the top of his lungs as he did. 

Charlie: HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Charlie then hit him once more and jumped back, Senshi did the same and as Abaddon wobbled on the spot they both closed in and smashed him in the jaw sending him flying through a brick wall and into the steel wall of the fortress. They both waited for to see if their attacks had worked, they heard they're answer... 

Abaddon: Hehehe....HeHeHe...SEHAHAHAHAHAHA!

He then leapt up and stood hunched over as if in a trance. 

Abaddon: You acctually managed to make me bleed?

He licked the blood from his face, swelled it in his mouth and swallowed it. 

''Abaddon: Sehahahaha! Noone has made me bleed in a long, long time. I must say I'm impressed but know that you are full power... Allow me.... TO SHOW YOU MINE! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!''

The dust all around him shot into the air as a white, blazing aura appeared around him giving his body and unholy shine. 

''Charlie: W-What?! You mean he's been holding back till now.... Why am I not surprised...''

''Abaddon: Indeed! You shouldn't be surprised! Sehahahahahaha! I consumed the Senshi Senshi no Mi! I am the ultimate warrior! Physically noone can match me, mentally noone can match me and even spirtually noone can match me! Sehahahaha! What you are seeing now, this white aura, is an extension of my spirit and as a perfect warrior even my soul is made to be used in battle! Sehahahahahaha! Now you won't defeat me! Even with both of you working together and at full power, you have no chance! Sehahahahahahaha!''

''Senshi: Wow. There's a fruit named after me. Now the consumer of that fruit is gonna kill me.''

'She takes a stance and gathers her powers into her hands, forming a very brightly colored ball.'

''Senshi: Charlie, imbue your powers into this ball. I'm gonna shove it down his throat.''

''Charlie: Hehe Alright then, but becareful. Whilst you attack him I'll start making a second attack, it's gonna be a big explosion so you'll need to get behind me as soon as I fire it.''

Senshi: Right.

Charlie began to imbue Senshi's ball with as much power as he could. It began to glow a harsh purple and looked like a small, purple sun. 

''Charlie: Alright go! I'll start setting up the counter measure!''

Charlie beggan condensing a massive amount of telekinetic energy, beyond anything he had done before into each of his hands as Senshi ran straight towards Abaddon. She jumps on top of him and shoves the ball of light down hs throat.

Senshi: SHIFTING PSYCHIC BOMB!!!!!

A gigantic explosion ripples through the entire arena. The other members of the crew were lucky enough to know to hide. Senshi landed awkwardly by Charlie as the dust started to clear.

Senshi: please work please work please work.

As the smoke stared to clear, Abaddon could be seen. He was still standing! But the attack looked like it had done it's job, his head was tilted back and his eyes we rolled back into his skull. His face had been burnt and slightly torn by the explosion, and all though he was still smiling smoke was pooring from his open mouth. Suddenly, his eyes started to move back into place, the rolled around until they fixed straight onto Charlie and Senshi. 

''Abaddon: Mmmmmmmm that tasted good! You'll have to tell me the recipe! Sehahahahaha!''

Charlie: SENSHI GET BEHIND ME!

Senshi jumped behind Charlie, he fired two incredibly small balls of energy at Abaddon. As he fire them he immediatley put up a barrier to shield him and Senshi from the explosion. The two balls made contact with Abaddon and expanded rapidly, creating a massive explosion! It was so huge it touched both sides of the fotresss and the cieling and with the damge from the previous explosions it made the walls collapse and the massive glass cieling shattered. Smoke and dust billowed accross the entire length of the now completley leveled. Sunlight flooded in through the massive holes left where the walls used to be, it bounced off of the rain of glass creating a blinding light. As the light dissipated and the dust settled, Charlie and Senshi looked onwards to where Abaddon should be. He was gone! Had his body been completley destroyed? This thought raced through Charlie and Senshi's minds as their eyes dashed around looking for Abaddon. They then looked up and saw him coming down towards them, they stepped back as to not get crushed. Abaddon landed and pulled back both of his arms.

Abaddon: SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

He thrusted his arms forward and he fired what looked like a massive compression of air towards Charlie and Senshi, it slammed into both of them and sent them hurtling through the air and through one of the holes left behind in the walls wake. They rocketed out of the arena and began to continue onwards above the sea. 

''Abaddon: Sehahahahahahaha! IT HAS BEEN SO LONG SINCE I'VE FELT SO MUCH PAIN! SEHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! IT FEELS SO GOOD! THIS GAME HAS BEEN SO FUN! I ALMOST DON'T WANT TO CRUSH YOU'RE SPINES SO THAT WE CAN PLAY AGAIN! SEHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!''

As they hurtled accross the water, Charlie managed to recover before Senshi and quickly flew over to her and caught her in his arms before she fell in the water. Charlie looked down at her and smiled.

Charlie: Hehe I always wanted to catch a damsel in distress in midflight.

Senshi looked up at him with a frown and elbowed Charlie in the chest. 

Charlie: Oof!

Senshi: This is no times for jokes, baka.

Charlie: Yeah yeah I know.

He looked over at Abaddon with a determined look but he was still smiling. 

''Charlie: I know it's silly to say this but now that I'm not worrying about saving you, I'm sort of enjoying this. Fighting alongside such a strong comrade against an opponent who is possibly the strongest guy either of us have ever faced. It makes my spine shiver in anticipation to continue fighting. Is that bad of me?''

''Senshi: Nope. I feel the same way. Even if I'm five seconds from fainting. Lets beat this guy up, then I need five minutes alone with him. Being at that monsters mercy was just like my time in Impel.''

She shivers in his arms. Then looks up at him.

''Senshi: You might want to get back to the fight. This is starting to get awkward.''

An anime tear drop rolled down the back of his head. 

''Charlie: Hehe Right..... Anyways you're right, lets go kick this guys ass!''

They both nod and Charlie lands on the arena, putting down Senshi as he does. Abaddon watches them and laughes. 

''Abaddon: SEHAHAHAHAHAHA! Come back for me have we my little playmates? Sehahahahaha! You should know better by now you can't beat me! Infact if you were smart you'd get all of you're friends to gang up on me but I suppose they are just a bunch of weaklings like I thought! Sehahahahaha!''

Over at the sidelines Takeshi's nerve snaps, he growls and grits his teeth. His muscles tense and he clenches his fists. Valkerie holds him back. 

Takeshi: What did that bastard say?!

''Valkerie: Damn it Takeshi! Don't get pulled in, I guess it's my turn to hold you back.''

''Abaddon: Sehahaha, what a bunch of pathetic cowards and weaklings. If I went over there I wouldn't be surprised if they all died from my mere presence. Sehahahahahahaha! And that would be no fun at all! Do you hear me loyal and cowardly lions! Once I'm done killing you're alpha male and female here, I am going to break all of you're little spinless bodies! Sehahahahahahaha!''

Charlie: THAT'S ENOUGH YOU GOD DAMN BASTARD!

Abaddon turned around after hearing the sudden outburst. As he did he saw Charlie rocket towards him and punch him right in the jaw. The force of the blow was incredibly hard and made a bit of blood come out of Abaddon's already damaged mouth, he skidded and stopped just before the edge of the arena where the wall once was. He looked up and saw a maginficant purple light, surrounding Charlie it pierced upward into the sky and seemed like it was touching the heavens. His face and body looked demonic as they were shrouded in this light, his eyes appeared like two black pools. Charlie spoke, his voice was threatening and deep, as demonic as he now appeared.

''Charlie: If there is one thing you never do it's insult my friends you giant sack of s***. And worse than that! You threatened them too! I will never forgive you! YOU S****Y BASTARD!''

'Senshi stood right next to him and smiled.'

Senshi: You leave our friends alone!!

'Abaddon chuckled at that.'

''Abaddon: Sehaha. Friends? Do you really think that they are your friends?''

Senshi: Yes.

''Abaddon: How about Lupis William?..... Was he you're friend too! Sehahahahaha!''

Senshi froze, her face hard. Charlie let the name run through his head. William had been the name of the one that had betrayed the Devil Spawns. But Lupis..... That was Rex's last name. Then it dawned on him.

Charlie: Will was Rex's brother.

''Senshi: Yes. We welcomed him with open arms. Then he tried to sell me to the marines. Everyone was distraught. Rex was devistated. We vowed to be more careful, which is probably why you weren't very warmly welcomed after my capture.''

Charlie: I see so thats why....

Charlie pats Senshi on the shoulder, looks at her and smiles. 

''Charlie: Don't worry about it, it's all in the past now right? Besides we have much more important things to do, like taking him down. What do ya say to that eh?''

Senshi: I say, lets do this.

She picks Abaddon up and slams him into a wall. Then she throws him so far, he crashes into her cross, getting tangled in the seastone chains still hanging from it. Abaddon's body weakens from the seastone, he still has enough strength to move though and he begins thrashing against the chains like an animal. Senshi felt that this move had won the day, Charlie walked beside her, closing his eyes and outstretching his hand towards Abaddon. He then sent a large telekinetic burst towards Abaddon, breaking the cross and freeing him from the chains. Senshi was puzzled, with that move she had pulled they could have won the day.

''Senshi: What are you doing?! Are you possessed or something? Why'd you free him?''

Charlie: I wanna win this on our own merit and besides....

He opens his eyes and his face showed unparralled determination, his eyes didn't leave Abaddon but his thoughts and words were directed straight to Senshi. 

Charlie: Seeing him on that cross reminds me of what you looked like when we came in, and remembering that makes me wanna kill him by my own hands whilst he's fighting fit...

''Senshi: Oh. I really look that bad?''

If Senshi wasn't already at her highest anger level, she's have gone into the next one. She glared at Abaddon.

''Senshi: Just when we're done with him, I'm stringing him to that damn cross. See how HE likes it.''

''Charlie: Fine by me... Just so you know though... You'll be strapping a corpse to that cross when I'm done!''

Charlie rockets towards Abaddon, he punches for him but Abaddon blocks it. He punches again with his other hand but once again Abaddon blocks it. Then Charlie pulls his head back and head buts Abaddon. With Abaddon reeling from the powerful force of the headbut he released his blocks of Charlie's punches and Charlie began to unleash a huge barrage of telekinetic imbued punches. Each one was so strong and had so much energy they caused small shockwaves and explosions each time they made contact with Abaddon's body. Senshi watched in amazement and shock, the name for Charlie's pinnacle form was starting to look very apt. He was truly going berserk. She stood back and watched him. Then, to help him out, she channelled her power into his, increasing his power a thousand fold.

Senshi: Kick his ass.

Charlie: RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!

Charlie's punches got faster and stronger, the damage they dealt and the explosions he created became larger and they started to take their toll. Abaddon was a sitting duck there was nothing he could do, even at full power he couldn't stop the unfathomable rage that came from the combined efforts of the Berserker Mode and the Anger Level: Code Gold. As Charlie continued to launch his huge barrage of punches, the blazing purple aura that was around him started to take a golden tint to it and eventually it became a brilliant mix of gold and purple. The aura was strong it even shot off towards Senshi binding the two pirates together as they dealt the finishing blow to Abaddon. Senshi ran forward and started beating Abaddon in rhythm with Charlie. They punched and kicked him. Eventually, the two pulled their fists back abd socked Abaddon so hard, he flew into the wall and into the room on the other side. When he crashed to the ground, he did not get up.

''Charlie: Did.... Did we do it?....''

Once again Charlie and Senshi were given their earsplitting answer. 

Abaddon: SEHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Abaddon stood up and let a a burst of his spirit flood the room he had gone into. It completley broker apart and fell all around him. As the dust settled he came into view, his body was battered and bruised all over. He was bleeding all over especially on his face which had been carpeted in red. He stood hunched over like a demon, his face had an insane edge to it, which was amplfied by the blood that poured down the entirity of his face. His demonic smile looked like a the gates of hell and his satanic eyes were wide open, his pupils almost couldn't be seen, viens sprouted all throughout his eyeballs. He looked like a possessed demon, like something out of the deepest depths of human fear. The creature that haunts every childs imagination, the monster that peeks it's head to bring devastation to men and the very devil who haunts the souls of gods. 

''Abaddon: THIS IS AMAZING! I HAVEN'T FELT SO MUCH PAIN SINCE I FOUGHT WITH WHITEBEARD AND ROGER! SEHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! THESE LAST 24 HOURS HAVE TRULY BEEN GREAT! I FEEL AS IF I HAVE BEEN BORN AGAIN! SEHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!''

As he continued to laugh his head off in sheer psychotic delight, Charlie and Senshi conversed with one another. They were both exhausted from the last attack and were both panting heavily, niether of them have ever been pushed this far. 

''Charlie: Damn it.... How many lives has this guy got?.... Do you think he's even heard of falling over?''

'Senshi bent over and started coughing up blood.'

''Senshi: Not........Good.......... Losing......... Energy........... End.......... Soon.''

She looked like she was about to collapse. If she didn't get medical attention soon, she wouldn't make it. Suddenly Senshi's body felt different, as if she was being held up. She looked over to a smiling Charlie who had his hand pointed towards her. He was supporting her with what power he could muster and spare for her. 

Charlie: It won't be permanent but you're body should hold up for now as long as I keep a hold of you.

''Senshi: Well, lets beat this guy. I want to chain him to the cross.''

'Her fingers were already twitching, becoming chains that were slithering like snakes.'

Senshi: Let's go.

Charlie: Alright!

They both run towards Abaddon at top speed, he then does the same to them. They all at the same time launch the most powerful punch they can muster, they clash in a huge shockwave and begin a huge barrage of punches and kicks all over the remnants of the arena. Destruction is created after each earthshattering punch, dust and wind pick up all around the arena and the sounds of numerous screams and shouts can be heard resonating through out the entire fortress. The clashes finnally stopped and the three fighters stood in the center of the arena, Senshi and Charlie were exhausted and if Abaddon was he didn't show it. He then smiled and chuckled to himself. 

''Abaddon: Sehahaha, this has been truly fun but I think it might be time to end this. I can't toy with you forever. Sehahaha. Which is a shame because I really thought we were starting to make a connection! Sehahaha!''

He then outrstreched his hands either side of him, his hands began to glow a blinding white. He was preparing something big. 

''Abaddon: NOW SAY GOOD BYE! SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!''

He slammed his hands together and fired a massive blast of his spirtual power towards both Senshi and Charlie, they both went to leap out of the way. But Senshi's leg gave way, she couldn't move! 

Charlie: SENSHI!

The blast covered the ground incredibly quickly, Senshi closed her eyes from the blinding light of the blast. It smashed right into where Senshi was it enveloped her in it's blinding light and awesome power. The blast carried on through the front wall of the fortress and into the distance. As the smoke and dust settled, Senshi opened her eyes, she hadn't been hit but how? As she opened her eyes, shock filled her eyes and her heart stopped. There stood infront of her, with smoke coming off of his back and his coat hanging in tatters off of his body. Was Charlie. Knowing that a barrier would not be enough to stop the blast he had put both a barrier and himself in front of the blast for the sake of Senshi. His back was burnt all over, even though he had put up a barrier he had still taken the majority of the damage. His body wobbled and he fell onto Senshi, his head fell gently onto her shoulder and before he could slide off Senshi grabbed him to keep him steady. 

''Charlie: Good.... You're....Ok.....Hehe I'm glad...... That you've not been hurt....Any further.....''

Abaddon began to laugh, he sounded the shrillest and maddest so far. 

''Abaddon: SEHAHAHAHAHAHA! WELL LOOK AT THAT! THE NOBLE PRINCE SAVED THE DAINTY LITTLE PRINCESS! THIS STUFF WRITES ITSELF! SEHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!''

Senshi's golden skin started to brighten. She set Charlie down and looked at Abaddon. she turned a shiny Silver color. Large Silver wings that rivaled Burakku's sprouted. Everyone stared. Charlie could feel the light emitting, blankenting him in a holy essence. He couldn't understand it. It was as if she was an angel.

''Senshi: You will pay for hurting me and my friends. Anger level, Code ANGELIC!!!!!''

The light lanced out and grabbed Abaddon. The pure power burned him, it sapped what was left of his strength putting him at the mercy of Senshi's great anger. 

''Abaddon's Thoughts: W-What?! This shouldn't be happening! THIS SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING I AM THE ULTIMATE!''

Senshi threw him at the cross and chained him to it. She chained him so tightly he almost lost circulation in all of his limbs. Charlie lay on the floor, the power from this radiant light was immense but soothing. He felt as if his vary soul was being cleansed of all it's pain. He felt his strength returning, he raised his hand up and looked at the back of his hand. He was amazed at what he saw, the burns on the back of his hand were dissappearing! Senshi's power wasn't just making him feel renewed, it was renewing him. Charlie then stood up, slowly and wobbly he got to his feet he turned to Senshi as she stared at the weakly thrashing body of Abaddon as it hung against the chains. Charlie started for a moment, he was mesmorized in this moment he didn't see Roronoa Senshi, the young girl who he had met years ago on an island with a colloseum. No, he saw a radiant angel, a powerful pirate and a respect garnering woman, a person who he truly called friend and not only that a friend who he would die for and that she would die for him. 

''Charlie: Senshi... You're.....''

Senshi turns and looks shocked at Charlie. She then sighs in relief and turns back to Abaddon.

''Senshi: We can hurt him now. Do what you want.''

Charlie's gaze became satanically threatening as his eyes rolled towards Abaddon, his face become incredibly solem but at the same time it held ungoldy terror. 

''Charlie: Good choice of words Senshi.... For what he's done, I'm going to put him through hell before I kill him.....''

Charlie walked up to Abaddon and placed his hand on Abaddon's forehead, he looked straight in to Abaddon's eyes as his eyes become a demonic purple. 

''Charlie: Prepare you're self monster..... Because I'm going to show you what nightmares are made of.....''

Charlie began to flood Abaddon's mind with psyhcic power, Abaddon screamed in pain but at the same time he smiled and laughed. Charlie began to show Abaddon countless images of Abaddon's own destruction, Abaddon was viewing his own death in thousands of ways in a matter of seconds. At this same time the energy which Charlie began to flood into his mind and causes pockets of damage all over as they began to take a grip on his nerve endings. 

Charlie: Tsubusu....

As Charlie was about to end Abaddon's life with a large burst of energy directly in his mind, Senshi looked on in horror. This wasn't the Charlie she knew, had his Berserker Mode taken ahold of him? Was the battle too much for his mind to handle? Or was this simply him taking vengeance for a friend? Whatever the answer Senshi decided that this was not what Charlie should do, if he went through with this they might lose him to his own dark subconscious. She yanked him away from Abaddon.

Senshi: Stop this.

She made him face her and positioned his hand over her own head. She winces slightly but speaks to Charlie evenly.

Senshi: Stop or you will hurt me.

Charlie stopped, the purple in his eyes dissipated as did the hatred and fierceness in his face. He moved his hand from Senshi's head and reluctantly from Abaddon's he closed his eyes and smiled. 

''Charlie: Thanks Senshi.... I don't know what came over me..... So what do we do with him now? The visions I showed him will stick with him but judging from that smile on the sick bastards face he somewhat enjoyed it....''

Senshi just walked over. She then extended her nails an inch and stabbed them into Abaddon's eyes, blinding him.

''Senshi: He enjoys watching people suffer. Watching their pain. Now he can't. He will remain in the darkness, no one to hurt, no one to kill. Just his pyschopathic self and alot of endless darkness.''

Abaddon let his body hang against the chains he tilted his head down and chuckled as blood dripped from his eyes. 

''Abaddon: Sehaha.... You... Think... This will stop me?! I... I AM THE ULTIMATE! I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN AND BREAK YOU'RE SPINES! AND THEN I WILL FEAST ON YOU'RE BONES! SEHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! NOTHING CAN STOP ME! NOTHING CAN SAVE YOU! YOU'RE BLOOD WILL FLOW DOWN INTO THE PRECIPESS OF MY BEING! SEHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!''

Charlie: Come on lets go.....

Charlie begins to walk away. Senshi starts to walk, but the anger keeping her concious fades away. She becomes a normal girl again and collaspes into Charlie's arms. Both crews immediantly run forward. Sharpshooter snatches Senshi out of Charlie's hands.

Sharpshooter: I'll take her.

'Ishi examines her and breathes a sigh of relief.'

''Ishi: She's alive. She just needs serious medical attention. Her power healed Charlie so he's fine.''

Sharpshooter and Ishi walk toward the ship. Burakku and Rex come over to Charlie and stand on either side of him.

''Burakku: Thank you for saving Senshi. Unfortunately, she's in no position to protect herself.''

Rex: After seeing your full power, we would like it if you would remain with us until she's healed.

Burakku: Plus, you did break down one of our cell doors.

Charlie smirked at them. 

''Charlie: I suppose I should take you guys accepting my power as a compliment and I do owe you for the door Hehe. If you wanna put me in that brig again thats fine by me, keep for as long as you need.''

Bella: I am glad that we've won the day and that Senshi is alright but do you really have to be kept in that brig again?....

'Takeshi walked towards her and patted her on the shoulder.'

Takeshi: It's ok Bella this is what needs to be done...

He then turns to Burakku and Rex. His eyes glint like fire, the fierceness of his gaze is intense. 

Takeshi: I don't really care how you treat him but if you rough him up too much, you will both answer to me got it?

''Burakku: We promise we won't harm him. It's just a precaution.''

'They put their hands on Charlie's shoulders and led him away.'

Shifting Tide, two days later
Senshi awakens in the Infirmiry. She rubs her head and looks up. Her entire crew, save for Sharpshooter and Rex, are standing over her.

''Senshi: Hey guys. Where's Sharpshooter and Rex?''

''Burakku: They're guarding Charlie. We're keeping him in the brig until you recover.''

Senshi opened her mouth to protest, but slowly closed it. They were just looking out for her. She sighed and attempted to stand up. If it hadn't been for Rei, she'd have fallen flat on her face. He grabbed her with his paw just in time.

Ishi: If you're going to visit him, take these.

She hands Senshi some crutches and Senshi takes them. She hobbles out of the infirmiry and down to the brig. Rex and Sharpshooter are standing in front of the door to a cell. Inside, cuffed with seastone, is Charlie.

Senshi: Hi Charlie.

Charlie looked up and smiled. 

''Charlie: You're up! Thats such good news, from what you're crew told me you've been asleep for two days straight. I'm glad you're on the road to recovery but....''

He then looked at his handcuffs and jingled them, he then spoke in a joking term. 

Charlie: Would it kill ya to get some comfier cuffs?

'Senshi laughed, then clutched her side.'

''Senshi: Ow. Ribs. Definately cracked.''

She pulled up a bench and sat down. Then she motioned for Sharpshooter and Rex to leave.

''Senshi: It'll be fine. Go get some lunch.''

Reluctantly, they left. Senshi turned to Charlie and her smile disappeared.

''Senshi: I'm sorry your stuck down here. My crew's just looking out for me.''

Although Senshi had become serious, Charlie still maintained his jokey and happy go lucky appearance. 

''Charlie: Hey don't worry about it, if it's what has to be done it's what has to be done you know? Besides after two days it's acctually getting quite homesome in here.''

Senshi smiled then turned her finger into a key. She winced as she did it, but she detached the key and tossed it up and down in her hand.

Senshi: You can take those things off while it's just us.

''Charlie: You can take them off if you want, but you're crew doesn't want me pulling anything. Trust me I'm fine, don't worry about it for now. I'd rather have you're entire crew be happy and trusting with me then having any doubts to my true intentions. No matter how long it takes, only let me go when you're crew wants me to be free. Is that alright?''

Senshi nodded and Charlie held his arms out. Senshi unlocked the cuffs and Charlie set them down next to him. As soon as the seastone left his skin, he saw into Senshi's head. He saw everything Abaddon had done to her, her fears of what he would have done, and what he had told her to break her spirit. She looked like she had been wanting to tell someone, but she couldn't bring herself to speak of it. Finnaly Charlie's joking demeanor faded, his face became solem, his eyes closes and his face showed so much sorrow. 

''Charlie: I see..... So thats what he did to you..... Senshi... I.... I am sorry, I am so sorry I let him take you. How could I let you fall into the hands of such a monster... DAMN IT!.....''

He punched his leg and dug his fist into his thigh. He showed so much frustration and anger in his face and actions. Even though the battle had been won, Senshi could clearly see how hard Charlie had taken this. During this time he had truly learnt what kind of man he really was.

''Senshi: You did save me though. You're the one that led my friends to me and helped them get me back before he killed me. Even if you almost........ you almost.......''

Senshi shuddered, remembering that Charlie had almost killed Abaddon. Then a single memory played in her head. Though she wouldn't admit it, some of Charlie's attack on Abaddon had gotten to her. She had felt the pain that he was sending to Abaddon. Then, just as quickly as it came, the memory was locked up, out of Charlie's reach. 

''Charlie: I.... I almost what?!.......''

Charlie then flashed back to that moment when Senshi had stopped him from killing Abaddon. To when his hand made contact with her head, the fury and anger that had raged through his head. He held his head in his hands, looking downwards and away from Senshi. To Senshi's surprise she heard, the pitter patter of tears hitting the floor. For the first time in his life in almost a decade Charlie was so distraught that he was crying and not only that he was crying tears of unfathomable sorrow and guilt. 

''Charlie: S-Senshi... I.... OH GOD! HOW COULD I LET MYSELF DO THAT?! DAMN IT! DAMN IT! DAMN IT!''

He got up quickly and bashed his head against the side of the ship with huge force. It left a large crack in the wood and had created a wound on his head. He turned to Senshi again as blood trickled down his face along with his tears, he then fell down to his knees and outstretched his arms to Senshi. 

''Charlie: Senshi.... Cuff me again, I don't want to see anymore..... Damn it.... How could I do that, even after years of training I couldn't stop myself from losing it..... Senshi.... I.....''

He bowed his head and body in shame. His head tapped against the floor. 

''Charlie: I am sorry..... I am so sorry..... I can never atone for this.....''

Senshi attempts to rise, but her legs refuse to respond. She tried to move them but nothing happenned.

''Senshi: Charlie...... I can't feel my legs.''

She tried to stand but her legs wouldn't move. Charlie looked into her memories and saw what had happenned. The nerves he had damaged were the ones to her legs. She kept trying to move them but they refused to respond.

''Senshi: I can't move them....They won't move. WHY WON"T THEY MOVE!?!''

''Charlie: Because when you stopped my attack on Abaddon.... I damaged the nerves to you're legs, depending on how much damage you sustained you.....''

He found it hard to tell her the news. 

''Charlie: You..... You might not be able to walk normally ever again!....''

''Senshi looked at Charlie and she shook. He could tell she felt betrayed. She'd been given too much pain and too many betrayals. She looked away from Charlie and didn't say a word. She didn't have to. She thought out loud, completely forgetting about Charlie's power.''

Senshi: Abaddon was right. I can't trust my friends.

She grabbed her crutches and pulled herself off the bench. She hobbled out of the brig, leaving Charlie alone. Charlie sat alone in the dark, thinking to himself. 

Charlie's Thoughts: Damn it.... This.... This is all my fault..... If I had been there to protect her.... If I had been there to stop him from harming her... If only I hadn't lost it.... No.... NO! This is no time to wallow in self pity! I have to do something, I have to fix this! It's my duty as her friend, I've got to do this! But the question is..... How......

Some soft voices are heard above him. Then two sets of heavy foot falls head his direction. Sharpshooter and Rex come into the brig.

Rex: What the hell did you do?!

Sharpshooter: She's crying and she keeps saying "Abaddon's right. Abaddon's Right." What the hell did you do to her?!

They looked mad enough to rip his head off. Charlie looked at them with a steel hard gaze, this was no time to feel sorry for himself. He had to tell them what had happened, it was his duty as their friend, as a pirate from the generation above theirs and as the man who had caused Senshi so much harm. 

Charlie: When Senshi stopped me from killing Abaddon. She was hit by my attack, although it wasn't locked onto her for long it's done some damage. The nerve endings connected to her leg muscles have been serverly damaged, if we don't treat her. She may never be able to walk normally ever again, her legs will not be able to do anything that they once could and it will be near impossible to walk let alone do anything else....

Rex and Sharpshooter started morphing. Rex started to grow into his Fenrir form and Sharpshooter started turning into a gun. Rex snarled and left the brig. Sharpshooter just stared at Charlie. He unlocked the door and snatched up the cuffs. Charlie held his arms out and Sharpshooter snapped them back onto him. He tightenned them a few notches tighter than necessary then socked him in the mouth. Charlie just took the hit and stared at Sharpshooter, as the blood trickled from his mouth he looked at Sharpshooter with a gaze that said do what you have to do.

Sharpshooter: You're a monster. You've done the worst possible thing to her. She can't fulfill her dreams if her legs don't work.

Sharpshooter punched him again, snapping his glasses, then socked Charlie in the gut, making him spit blood. Charlie sits and excepts the beatings and doesn't say a word. Sharpshooter wanted to punch him more, but he couldn't bring himself to hit a man who would readily accept a beating. 

Sharpshooter: You better know a way to fix this, or so help me I will blow you're head off...

Charlie: Don't you worry, it'll take some theorizing and planning but....

He smirked. 

Charlie: I have an idea.

The End.
