Chapter 18: Meeting the Rebellion
(The Dark Lands arc1 part 1: During the events of the MUshroom Kingdom arc)
Back in the Dark Lands we find our other trio of heroes currently making their way throughout this new world.
Zoro, Luffy's second in command swordsman, and Vanellope, a devil fruit user kid from Luffy's hometown, were currently following the lead of an elf archer named Alicia, .
"How much Longer till we get there?"Zoro asked impatiently as he tapped his finger on the tip of Wado Ichimonji's handle as he followed Alicia and Vanellope on a black rocky path over the hill.
They elf girl turned her head to him, while at the same time keeping her eyes peeled forward,"We should get there ay minute now, so not much longer", she said before pointing over towards a lava flowing mountain a ways ahead of them in the distance," Our camp is hidden well enough just infron that mountain over there hidden in that forest, if we keep going well be there soon", she said confidently As she pointed towards the somewhat bushy Forest that laid in front of the volcano.
Zoro nodded his head to the elf, telling her that he understood what she told him as he continued walking after her.
Vanellope, who had been walking in between them so that they could protect her and make sure that she didn't wander off, turned back to look at him with an annoyed look on her face,"We would've been there by now if e didn't have to go and look for you after you got lost like five times".
The young girl knew all too well about the vice captain's extremely poor sense of direction, but she mainly just thought of them as over exaggerated stories that people made up.
But to think that they were actually true and that it was this severe Was truly astonishing to say the least.
It honestly amazes her that The other Straw Hats will ever be able to find him and bring him back to the ship.
It was honestly shocking to her that he could actually manage to get lost five times Short time that they had been there.
She has a 9-year-old newly devil fruit girl, had better navigation with her which powers then he did with his regular Direction.
"Not my fault she's given bad directions", Zoro said defensively.
Vanellope raised her brow at that,"You're the one who went off in the exact opposite direction that she told us to go. I mean come on, how do you confuse left with right'?!
Zoro balled his fists up back at her,"Well you two were o]the ones movin too fast in the forest", Raising his voice a lot higher.
"What forest? We were walking slowly In an openly scorched field turning left and you turned right and got yourself lost IN AN OPEN FIELD"!, She said shouting at him even louder.
Zoro instead of yelling simply turned his head away and crossed his arms," Well this is the new place that plays tricks with your head not my fault", Zoro mumbled as he turned red with frustration.
While the two of them continued their bickering, Unbeknownst to either one of them, Alicia had been Listening in on them, giggling at bear banter.
She had never known humans to be this amusing, at least not from what she remembered or heard of them, which was sort of a surprise to say the least.
She had always known humans to be These violent and brutal creatures with no remorse for any other life not even of their own kind.
She had only ever witnessed the selfishness and cruelty of humanity from the stories she heard from creatures who had escaped human captivity long ago.
Hell, even some trolls that she had met over the years had nothing kind to say about humans other than the fact that they should be wiped out simply because of the cruelty they best upon other living creatures.
Yet here she was witnessing two obvious humanoid creatures simply arguing and bantering with each other as if they were siblings.
Not showing the slightest bit of malicious intent towards each other or even her for that matter.
The site Honestly made her want to start giggling because of how relatable it looked to her spouts with her own siblings to be honest.
And although it was a fun sight to witness, she needed to make sure that she got some information from these two about where they came from and what their part is in all of this.
She slowed down her pace a tiny bit in order to get a little closer to them before slightly turning her head to Zoro,"So Roronoa, where did you come from and how did taking a warp pipe through here"?, she asked curiously.
Zoro stopped his arguing with Vanellope after hearing the elf's question and looked up at her," Huh oh yeah, were from Vearth, Though if your askin for I'm from a small village in the East Blue named Shimotsuki village", he then looked down and pointed at Vanellope,"And she's from the place as my captain, Foosha village".
Vanellope hearing that last thing he said, decided to speak up,"Actually I'm originally a servant child that worked for the The Big Mom Pirates from Whole Cake Island, but after I heard that his Captain, Straw hat Luffy, and some of his crew came to Whole Cake and took on their powerful army, it inspired me to leave that Island In order to go on an adventure of my own", she restated, correcting.
That made The Swordsman raise a bit of a brow at the young girl….
He didn't know she was a servant there, granted he Never actually cared about any of the details About the island or the people that were on it, And if that's the case then how did she know so much about them?
Just when he was about to start asking a few questions he stopped himself realizing that he was currently focusing on his conversation with the elf.
Better to focus on answering questions rather than asking them.
No it wasn't as if they were doing much of a good job at that, because Alicia couldn't understand what the hell they were telling her.
Where and what the hell was an east blue?
There was an island that was made of a cake?
What they were telling her made a lot less sense than she originally hoped it would make
And who was Straw hat Luffy?
Was he traveling with them?
If he was then why wasn't he here helping?
Was he lost in this place like they were?
While questions continue to pop up into her head, Zoro continues to explain their current situation,"Yeah okay, but back to what I was saying is me and the captain had sort of stirred up some trouble with our world government. They'll normally be more than willin to tussle with them, we weren't exactly in the full capable condition to do so so we decided to hide backin his hometown. And after a few hours of meetin some of his family, explorin, partyin like animals, and drinkin we decide to head back to the ship for a good night's sleep. And that's when we get attacked by a guy in a white suit And he activates something in the water that causes our ship to get sucked up and drag us into this colorful cloudy world. That when we got separated from the captain through different stream currents and into what we now know to be these giant green pipes. Then we came to this place, dealt with that whole little green welcoming committee, Met you, and here we are'',he finished explaining casually
Alicia looked down at Vanellope and asked her," Is that everything"?
"Yeah that just about sums it all up", the little girl said before questions suddenly popped up in her mind but she needed an answer,"By the way what are those pipes anyway and how come they're able to transport us from our world to Worlds like this"?
Alicia, knowing that this explanation might take a while, turned to the little girl,"Well the thing that brought you here was called a Warp pipe, and is a common mode of transportation in most places around the universe apparently. It is a pipe that does not always appear to be connected to a second pipe physically, although traveling through it transports the traveler to the other end. In many cases, Warp Pipes can be used to cross great distances (and even worlds) instantly, while some pipes cannot even transport anything. The size of Warp Pipes can vary greatly. While some are too narrow for a human to enter, others are large enough for a ship to travel through and they can even sprout up any and everywhere and any time, even right now. They are typically green, but they have appeared in many other colors less frequently. And there's only one place where all of the warp pipes can go to and coexist all at once and that is The Warp Zone,The Warp Zone is a hidden area that acts as a kind of teleportation system, connecting many worlds, galaxies, universes all to one infinitely gigantic place. The Warp Zone is also a place that contains multiple clouds with Warp Pipes emerging from them. And though most of the clouds are pink. For the most part, they are sectioned-off areas containing Infinite Warp Pipes", she explained in great detail.
Though she might have gone a little overboard on explaining with high detail because once she finished with her explanation she turned to see that both Vanellope and Zoro looked at her,"What", they both asked her, completely lost.
Seeing this, she turned her head forward and slapped her hand on her face as she groaned in annoyance before once again turning back to the ,"Long story short the warp pipes serve as a means of Infinite transportation between different worlds and realms. But if you want the short and sweet of it, they're basically magical pipes that can take you any and everywhere at any time, explained as simple and as non complicated as she could,"Is that better"?
(After hearing that part of the explanation both Zoro and Vanellope shot each other a "That explains what happened to Luffy and the sunny" look before turning back to the elf)
They both nodded at her in confirmation,"Yeah that works", Vanellope suddenly said.
"I'm not complaining", Zoro said immediately after.
The archer simply shrugged it off in acceptance, figuring that it was better than nothing,"And so from what you've told me your friend may or may not have gone through one of the other pipes in The Warp Zone, right"?
Zorro nodded his head and confirmed," well yeah so we didn't get the chance to see it considering that we were sucked into one of these pipes first. So for all we know he could still be wondering throughout that weird Warp Zone you were telling us about"
"Well that could be a possibility but I highly doubt that, Remember I told you that the warp zone is filled with Millions upon millions of warp pipes so if he didn't go in the same with you Then he probably went into another pipe not long after you", C stated before then placing her index finger and her thumb on her chin and looking up in the sky," though it's which pipe he went into and where the pipe ended up is the real question".
Vanellope looked up at the elven girl with worry," wait, so you're saying that he could be in a whole Nother different world right now like us but could be just as scary and dangerous".
Alycia nodded her head and responded to the question,"Correct, though don't worry I also doubt it's a dangerous world he's in".
Zoro raised a brow at this,"You seem sure about that"?, he asked curiously and almost worry free.
"Well though there are quite a few pipes that lead to just as many dangerous worlds, The Koopa Kingdom, Crocodile Isle, the Troll Kingdom, and this place obviously. There are plenty of other places here that The warp pipes could lead to that are almost completely safe and non-dangerous",She stated confidently before a shadow of realization and despair slowly grew on her face," Though that might not be relevant for long if the troll Kingdom isn't stopped and continues its reign of invading other kingdoms till they look like nothing more than barren wastelands such as this one", she said sadly," This is a place known to many people as The Dark Lands. The Dark Lands consist of leafless hollow trees, many lava flows and volcanoes. Many small castles and palaces can be found here, so the Dark Lands are not completely devoid of architecture. However, the castles, much like everything else, are broken down, abandoned, and almost completely lifeless",Alicia carefully explained as she motioned her hand towards the quite literal fiery lava wasteland they all had seen before them.
Vanellope, wide eyed and slightly frightened at the sight, slowly turned back to the elf,"The trolls you were talking about.....caused all of this"?
Alicia silently nodded her head in response...…
"So this troll king guy's been is a bit of a pain in the ass for all the other kingdoms out there if he can do shit like this to em, huh"?Zoro asked, not bothering to take his eyes off of the horrific sight.
"He's much more than that"!, Alicia shouted angrily as she started balling her fist up in anger," He's a heartless monster who does nothing but use his bruteful might to tear through and destroy any kingdom that he feels like is useful to him. You have no idea the things he's done, the number of people he's killed and enslaved, the families he's ripped apart, the homes he's burnt to cinders"!, the elf angrily ranted, her face turning slightly red.
"If he's causing all this trouble, why not just go and....stop him", Vanellope carefully asked cautiously not to set off the angry Archer.
That only earned her a scoff in response," ha you think That hasn't been tried before?!", before turning to face the little girl,"And you want to know what happened to those kingdoms who tried fighting back?! Troll Kingdom tears through them like butter until they end up Being nothing but Barren wastelands like this place",She says she motions her arms towards their surroundings.
As she did this both the humans spotted what looked to be old Bloody and Rusty weaponry and armor scattered across the ground around them.
"And just in case you get confused this would be the result of any Kingdom that controls come across whether they surrender to them peacefully or decide to fight back, either way the only thing that will be left of a kingdom after the trolls have invaded would be nothing but flaming ashes and dust",Alycia explained,"The trolls are powerful and almost indestructible creatures on their own but they also have powerful allies Like the kremlins and the Koopas that Aid them in battle along with providing and Maintaining for their Kingdom and resources. To be a singular Kingdom and go to war with them would be utter suicide. And it certainly doesn't help the fact that the Troll Army by itself is already massive enough the other two kingdoms adding on to it is just plain overkill on its own".
As she continued her rant, Zoro was slightly stuck in his thoughts, (in Zoro's head),"So it looks like this Troll kingdoms gonna be a problem while we're stuck here, huh"?
And while Zoro was thinking to himself, Vanellope once again spoke up to say something to the elf girl,"Come on, you can't seriously be saying that this troll king guy's army is that big and dangerous, right"?
"Are you kidding me, of course it is! Where do you think all those goblins came from", Alicia asked if she pointed out into the distance,"They're a part of his army and what you all saw earlier wasn't even the entirety of them, there's literally thousands of those evil little bastards roaming about these lands because there's not enough room for them in the troll Kingdom so they serve as a way of keeping surveillance over the other kingdoms and Reporting back to him if they need to, which might I add, is MASSIVE", she said, opening her arms up wide in order to help with her exaggeration.
"Oh", Vanellope managed to get out, she was too busy processing what she was just told.
Zoro, seeing that Vanellope had nothing else to say, stepped up and asked A few questions of his own ,"Have any other kingdoms also formed any Rebellion to try and overthrow the troll Kingdom"?
"Well yes but every time one is formed To go into battle against his forces they are almost easily wiped out by them Because of their overwhelming might without making any progress to stop their operations or put a hole in his plan. And The ones that manage to succeed don't last long do the massive damages they sustained from each battle and Runn in With The Troll Army", Alicia disappointedly Answered.
"Aw, You mean to tell me that not even a rebellion could stop this guy and his army because of that strong",Vanellope complained
"Yeah, and you want to know what the icing on the cake is? They reproduce at a terrifyingly fast rate so They're practically overpopulated and have too many soldiers on the battlefield, and you don't want to know The things they do to make that happen", she said In a very warning tone.
(If you watch Goblin Slayer then you unfortunately know what she's implying though don't worry none of that will be put into the story)
(In Zoro's head),"Yep he's definitely gonna be a problem",Zoro thought after her explanation.
"Well if they're so dangerous and Powerful then why Do you bother to fight back against him anyway then"?,Vanellope asked innocently.
Alicia Continued walking as she took a few Moments to answer before she suddenly spun around and looked the young child straight in her eyes and Answered with a serious tone," Because if we Elves don't fight for our kingdom, it will end up being exactly what this one currently is, a barren Wasteland",Before turning around to face the upcoming Forest,"It's all any Kingdom can do nowadays in order to avoid the same fate that befell the other kingdoms either that or stay out of That monster's way".
Hearing that answer, Vanellope sort of Ran out of any questions to ask the elf and seeing as though they were coming up on their destination she thought it fit kind of fit to just sit back and watch how things play out.
Though that may have been cool for her, Zoro still had a few questions of his own that he needed answered.
In particular that seems rather important as of the moment...…
Up his Pace a little bit not exactly getting in front of Vanellope but close enough to where Alicia could hear him Without him having to yell,"Hey Ali-".
Before he could finish asking his question the Archer threw up her hand as a means to silence him before slightly turning towards the two as they came close to the entrance of the forest,"Now listen Before we go in it's best that you know that my crew weren't expecting me to bring anyone back to the camp and I doubt they're going to be happy that I did so so let me do the talking okay".
While Vanellope simply nodded her head in response, Zoro continued to press on with his question,"That's kind of what I wanted to talk to you about. What's your Rebellion look like any-".
Before Zoro could finish asking the question, he suddenly caught a knife that was thrown directly at his head. His two index and middle fingers And it happened so quickly that neither Alicia or Vanellope had time to process what had just happened or even notice it until he had caught it in his hand.
That last action put Zorro on high alert causing him to grab for one of his swords, Enma, And got himself ready into a battle ready stance, Holding the sore tightly preparing to swing at any moment,"I saw you throw that knife ya sonava bitch come out of that tree right now or I'll cut you down from that tree branch",She shouted in the direction of the trees in front of them.
She saw that he was certain someone was in the trees. Vanellope herself couldn't see a single soul out there, but before she could go and correct him on it she suddenly heard a voice shout from the tree's direction.
"How about you step the fuck back and drop those swords and Get on the ground along with that kid before I make sure I don't miss next you time", the voice demanded, a figure outline beginning to appear in the tree in front them.
While he was yelling at them Zorro turned to Vanellope without Getting out of his stance and motioned his head to tell her to get behind him, which she gladly did, not wanting to get a knife thrown at her herself.
Neither one of them had gotten on the ground like the voice had ordered them to, which seemed to aggravate him because next thing you know he began yelling again,"I mean it, lay down your weapons and get on that ground NOW"!
Zoro, refusing to listen and knowing clearly where the person behind the voice was, was readyinghimself to pounce forward and attack.
But before he could lunch Alicia stepped in between and threw her hands up in front of Zoro signaling for him to calm down and let her handle this and for turning and pointing to where the voice was,"Jacob relax, they're with me With me I found them being attacked by Goblin while I was on patrol, they don't mean us any harm"!
"Sure about that"?!, the voice argued,"what are you thinking leading strangers back to our camp when we're in enemy territory?!
Alicia rolled her eyes,"Look you don't have to worry they're not a threat to us, they've been walking with me for the last 2 hours".
Though she continued to plead the voice in the trees still wasn't budging,"Yeah well how do you know those two aren't changelings in the skies did you use the Gaggletack".
"Jacob I don't need to use a Gaggletack, They're not changelings, I'm telling you",Alicia insisted.
"And I'm telling you that until I see them make physical contact with one they're not taking another step into camp",The Voice order.
Both Zoro and Vanellope were confused about what the voice was talking about By a changeling or was it a gaggle tack.
The duo turn towards that to see what they would do next only to see that she spent the next few seconds staring off at the tree before groaning loudly in annoyance and reaching into her bag to grab something.
A second or two later she pulled out would look to be an Rusty iron horseshoeFrom her back before turning to them,"Okay you too sorry but my associate Doesn't believe that you two are with me and wants me to touch the both of you with thisItem to prove that you are. So both of you just give me your hands.
Before either one of them did anything they both looked down at the Horseshoe in her hands and raised the brow and confusion.
"I'm sorry But why the hell do you want us to touch a horseshoe? And what the hell is a changeling?",Zoro asked, confused.
Alicia then realized that she never told them About all the different kinds of trolls there were And the certain precautions that they had to take in order to make sure that they avoided any encounters.
She raised the Horseshoe a little and began to explain,"Oh yeah guess I never did tell you about the changelings,huh? Well Changelings are Trolls that are altered by the evil wizard: Bellroc and the Gumm-Gumms at birth so they can assume different forms. Changelings are sent to the other realm as spies, supplanting infant babies who are known as the Changeling's Familiar.
And this is a Gaggletack which is a magical, horseshoe-shaped totem that can reveal a Changeling's true nature through physical contact. We have to do this in case any changelings try to sneak into our camp and pose as one of us in order to gain information For the troll King. Sorry if I forgot to tell you both that earlier".
"Wait till that day will tell if we're one of those little change things or not", Vanellope ass that she pointed towards the horseshoe.
The elf Archer nodded,"Changelings and yes, If you would just give me your arm we can get this over quickly".
Both Zorro and Vanellope look at each other before shrugging and putting both their arms out, In which afterwards Alicia lightly tapped both of them with the iron horse shoe.
And to no one's surprise nothing happened,All there was was dead silence in the Wind.
Both Zoro and Vanellope Shot Alicia an " are we good" look, and in response Alicia Happily nodded in confirmation.
They were all clear...
She placed the Horseshoe back into her bag and quickly spun around to face the tree lines,"See they're all fine, can you stop being so dramatic and let us in now.
A moment or two of Silence went by before Zoro suddenly felt the knife fly out of his hand and back into the direction of a tree, slightly Starling him along the way.
The next moment I figure jump out of the tree line and land right in front of them.
It was a boy.
He had white hair tied into a braid in the back and a dark line located underneath his left eye. He also donned a green cloak over a gray vest, camouflage leggings, and boots. Finally he had what looked to be a utility belt with throwing knives hanging from it.
"Okay good sorry for the hostility and the knife throwing back there had to make sure you guys were legit. It's hard to trust people nowadays You know with the trolls and all the changelings and all",The boy said in a much less hostile tone and instead with a more cheerful kind of tone.
Seeing this both Zoro and Vanellope tilted their heads to the side and confusion of this new and much more cheerful person they saw rather than the more violent hostile person they had encountered less than 2 minutes ago.
"Oh and the guy behind all the knife throwing, his name is Jacob elfington. Expert lock picker, Chapter song right, and Ladies Man, Nice to meetcha",Jacob said as he began walking towards the highly alerted Duo and extended his hand for handshake.
Though he was hesitant at first Zoro reluctantly placed his sword back into the chief and extended his hand as well for a friendly handshake,"Roronoa Zoro".
"Whoa I've never seen anyone with three swords before especially one so weird looking.Are you some kind of swordsman or something",Jacob asked curiously
A little weirded out by the question, nodded his head slowly ,"Uh Yeah uh Pretty handy with my weird lookin swords",he's said awkwardly
Jacob really didn't catch the hint of Zoro's confusion, his positive attitude continued to shine as he shook Zorro's hand ,"Ha pretty cool".
Then notice Vanellope sort of hiding behind Zoro's leg and bit down a tiny bit just enough to reach her eye level",Hey there little girl what's your name",He asked in a high pitch tone (as if he were talking to a baby) as he also extended his hand out to her.
"Uh Vanellope von Schweetz",Answer with a low tone in her voice as she carefully extended her hand for a handshake as well.
After he heard that answer his face immediately lit up as if he had seen something too cute for him to handle," Oh you see now that is the most adorable name I've ever heard in my entire life. Aren't you just an adorable little sweet ball you ",He adored his voice getting a little too high pitched as much as he was getting a little too close to the young girl.
"Hehehe..... yeah and I'm an... .adorable little sweet ball",She said awkwardly as she slowly backed away from the strange elf in front of her and a little farther behind sorrow who also moved himself forward to kind of block her off from the elf.
From what the duo were seeing, he seemed to be very light-hearted and likes to make jokes with the other members of his party. And although he seemed quite boastful, he is quite easily brought down to earth.
And just as Jacob was about to say something else, Alycia grabbed him by the back of his neck and pulled him away from her guest,"Come on Jacob what have I told you about being too friendly or guess you're going to weird them out! We're supposed to be a professional Rebellion!",the Archer lecture.
The Young elf stopped and realized his mistake before suddenly fixing himself up and standing up straight before turning towards the duo,"oh Yes right sorry about that Didn't mean to weird you guys out. it's just that when I'm not busy being a soldier I kind of like meeting new people and making a friendly first impression. so I guess I got a little carried away huh"
"Yeah a little but it's cool", Zorro said assuringly.
Alicia let go of the back of his neck and wrapped her arm around his shoulders,"All right Zoro and Vanellope, this is our High elf Scout, Jacob. His role in our camp is to scout the areas of the dark land around us and report back to us any findings he may have on the enemy or the enemy's plans and relay them back to our party so we can figure out how to deal with them. He is able to efficiently use a lockpicking kit to open up doors and chests that the party may come across. He is adept at detecting traps, both in the treasure chests the dungeon spawns and in the dungeon's hallways and chambers. He is also very skilled at disarming the traps that are often in enemy territories that are in our way",Though as she was finishing up naming all of his feet she quickly realized that she had to make sure they knew all of his faults as well or at least the one she notices anyway. She then Smiled mischievously before adding on with," Though Unfortunately He is also not the bravest adventurer, shaking at the thought of entering the Dark Lands, though this doesn't stop him. His motivation for entering the dark lands is to complete the mission assigned to him and make a name for himself",Which then in return made him shoot her a look that basically said'' oh haha you're funny".
Zoro then raised a brow in confusion of what she said,"Wait if he's your scout, then why is he on guard duty while you were out there",Zoro asked curiously".
Though after he asked that question, Jacob began whistling nervously while Alicia started staring him down, as if she was staring daggers at him.
This only made Zoro's curiosity grow even more...
"Well….."Jacob started before he was suddenly interrupted by his comrade.
"He screwed up really important information that our team needed for our last operation, and our commander was so angry that he placed him on guard duty for a month to teach him a lesson", she explains, still staring daggers at him.
Jacob simply hit his face in his arms and embarrassment,"You follow one measly Goblin to the wrong location and all you get is shit for it the rest of your career", he complained.
" Yeah at least you're doing that and not you know throwing any knives and threatening us' ', Vanellope slightly joked.
Jacob and response simply scratched the back of his head nervously,"Yeah again real sorry I was just following standard procedure From our Captain's orders. That's not usually how I am though I'm usually a lot more friendlier when it comes to new guests".
Zoro chuckled,"Yeah I think we got that part Of your introduction down".
That caused Jacob to Snicker a tiny bit before suddenly turning to his comrade,"Yeah I guess you're rig- wait a minute", Inches himself closer to get a more detailed look at them before realizing something,"Wait you two aren't elves, You don't have any Ears Like Us".
Both Zoro and Vanellope turn to each other and stare at one another for a moment before turning back to the elf,"Yeah well having points of years isn't really too common among us humans, well maybe having freaky facial and body features, but that's about it", Zoro Jokingly said.
"Human", Jacob repeated before spinning around to face his comrade,"Wait no, that shouldn't be possible, all the humans here were wiped out centuries ago. Where the hell did you find humans in a place like this"?,He questioned her.
Alicia responded by placing her hand on his shoulder,"What I originally thought until I got their side of the story.They are not from this world, but that of a different world they came here from through a random warp pipe. I only managed to find them while they were in the middle of fighting off a horde of goblins".
"Oh Well I guess that part makes sense when you put it like that. but then why did you bring them back to Camp instead of sending them back to the warp pipe", he questioned her.
"Well that's what we would have done before but I threw the chaos Of the GoblinsThey had accidentally forgotten where the warp pipe was. And it would have been too dangerous for them to stay out there roaming throughout the dark landsWith all the dangers lurking around in the shadows. So I brought them back to Camp so that We could maybe try to help them figure out A solution on either where the warp pipe is, Or for us to help them find a different one that can lead them back home".
"How do you know you guys weren't being followed by enemy spies", Jacob.
Alicia's side loudly as she slapped her hand on her forehead in annoyance,"Jacob look they're not with the Enemy, We weren't followed back here, And these two need our help. And besides who knows what kind of information these two might know, it would be a waste to let them go".
Before Jacob said anything back he stopped to think about the point she was making for a moment before eventually caving in and shrugging his shoulders``(Sighs) Alright you win but if the captain Makes the decision to let them go it's out of our hands. Plus he'll probably want to question them himself anyway", He then turned towards Zoro and Vanellope,"All right you too right this way",He said that he used his hand to motion them to move towards the Dark Forest.
Neither one of them took a step forward to enter, both still wondering What other kind of preachers were lying in that Forest, in return earning them both two confused looks from the elves.
"Why the hell do ya have a rebel camp in the middle of a forest",Zoro asks curiously as he and Vanellope start slowly walking towards the forest.
After hearing that question come from their guest mouth both the elves looked at each other before looking back at the duo only to start bursting out laughter.
Zoro raised the brow at this,"What the hell so funny"?
As their laughter slowly started to diminish, Alicia continued to Snicker a tiny bit as she answered his question,"Whoever said this was an actual forest", She then turns away from them and begins walking towards the forest.
What she's in front of the forest she continues to walk until suddenly out of nowhere she magically phases through the force not answering it but more as if moving through it completely As if it were like entering a waterfall.
After seeing that both Zoro and Vanellope stopped walking in place as their eyes and Jaws grew wide and dropped in shock of the elf walking straight through the possibly non existent Forest.
Jacob chuckled as he continued motioning his hand for the two to move forward,"Okay come on you too don't worry it won't bite",He continued to joke,"I'm going to continue staying out here on watchguard duty you guys head on in without me".
Though they were both hesitant at first, Zoro and Vanellope continued to slowly walk towards The Dark Forest until The next thing they knew they were walking past what looked to be an invisible force field. And as they walked into the field, they noticed that some of the blacked charred trees slowly started to disappear and fade away without a trace. Though it wasn't the disappearing trees that actually surprised them, it was what they saw next which succeeded in doing so.
Once they went through the field they found Alicia standing in front of them on the other side as if she were waiting for them.
The Elven Archer smiled as she then turned around and pointed at the camp,"All right now you too, allow me to welcome you to our very own Elven War Camp"!!!
(The Elven War Camp)
Hidden inside the forest, the first thing the duo saw was a series of fairly small camouflage tents that were scattered all over the front of the forest, with brightly lit campfires next to each one. The camp was surrounded by razor spikes in the ground , a particularly mean plant that allows easy passage one way, but will tear you to shreds if you attempt to pass through the other side.
There is a small smithy, where weapons are maintained and any metal work that needs doing is done. There were two small ponds on each side in the camp, one which looked as if it was used as a fresh water supply, the other was filled with hit flowing lava. There was also a series of small caves set to the back of the camp, Which looked as if it was where supplies were stored as well as prisoners They may or may not have captured during battle. Finally at the center of the camp there was a large tree in the center of the camp, which looked as if the elves had built multiple platforms On the branches in order to observe and Analyze the close areas around them.
As they had gotten a good look at what the camp had looked like on the inside Alicia began to speak,"As you see before you this can't serve as our base of operations. where we can Return to in order to rest or plan out our next operation. We are able to remain hidden with the magical field our very own wizard was able to put together so that we're not spotted by any enemies Answer that would be easy to stake out and keep surveillance over the surrounding areas", She explained the inner workings of The camp they continue their way inside.
From what Zorro and Vanellope were seeing, The camp seemed very self-sufficient, Elves being able to largely live off the darkland. Whatever they Aren't able to forage for in the surrounding areas, they are able to take on their raids of the enemy territories,
And those seeing the camp for itself were cool, what mainly caught the Duo's eye was the fact that there were multiple Elven-like people walking about and doing what would look to be daily tasks around the camp.
And as they were walking into the camp they noticed that a young elf girl had spotted them and began walking towards the group.
As she came closer towards them they were able to get a better look of what she had looked like. She looked like a young girl with green eyes as well as blond hair tied into a ponytail. She wore a small red cloak and minidress, along with knee-high boots.
\
Once she noticed her Alicia Began to wave,"Bellas, How are you".
Once she had gotten close enough to them she stopped right in front of the elf Archer and started to speak,"Alicia you're finally back, How was...…your...…..scouting", She soon began to Trail off as she noticed Zorro and Vanellope standing behind her comrade,"Wait hold on, wh-who and what are those two",She as curiously, pointing at them.
Alicia then figured that it was about time being all gotten introduced up and out of the way just to avoid dragging this conversation out too long.
"Oh yes them", She said before she then stepped forward and wrapped her arm around the young elf girls shoulder Before turning to face the duo,"Alright Zoro and Vanellope, this is my best friend/ I can't very own Half-Elf Ranger: Bellas Crabella",She excitedly introduce the elf girl For continuing on," Bellas here is an elemental user, which basically means that she is able to manipulate the four main elements with magic. For example, she can manipulate Things like water, earth, fire, air and transform them into either weapons or traps that can be used to attack an opponent,or they could be useful for any other basic necessities Like sometimes building houses creating fire from warmth or cooking water for drinking and cleaning etc",How's Alicia was explaining this both Zoro and Vanellope had begun to stare at the other female elf, somewhat surprised that she had that kind of power. she simply blush nervously as she turned away from their gaze, all while Alicia continued on,"She is a strong-willed and adventurous person, though she is a little shy around new people. That doesn't stop her from taking out most of the time out of her day Working as a part-time teacher to teach young children how to read and write. No she doesn't have my peculiar set of bow and arrow skills she makes up for it with her combat abilities and quick thinking".
"H-Hey",The young elf Rangers said, a tiny bit offended,"Don't go telling all my business to other people and-",She stopped herself before then realizing what she really should have been worried about,"Wait a minute who the hell are these two what are they doing in the camp",She asked Alarmingly.
Alicia responded by letting go of her shoulder and spun around to face her in the opposite direction to stand next to Zoro and Vanellope,"Ah yes I was just getting to that, the two next to me are called Roronoa Zoro and Vanellope von Schweetz. And from what the two of them told me they're humans who were apparently brought here from Another Dimension. And while they were being brought here they accidentally got separated from their friend so once I found them my offered my help to see if we can help find him", she explained to her friend, who looked as if she was frozen in place, as if to process all the information she was just given.
Though the effect only lasted for a few seconds until she snapped out of it And began with the question asking,"Wait and you Brought them here without checking in with us first? What the hell were you thinking?! How do you know these two aren't changeling spies and that you may have possibly led the enemy right to our base"?
Just as she asked that question, Alicia pulled out her Gaggletack from her pack and lightly tapped both Humans next her,"See, they're not Changeling, i myself figured that out when they were getting attacked by goblins, so you can relax yourself ok",She said as you then please the GaggleTack back into her pack.
Belles continue to Squint her eyes at the two humans Before her for a few more seconds just in case there are any late Transformations out of either one of them.
When nothing happened, she stopped squinting suspiciously, and began to smile brightly as she then excitedly extended her hand out to them both,"Ok that's great Alicia, you brought new friends to help us out at camp", She said, cheerfully as she's then skipped over to the trio and extended her hand to Zoro," i'm Bellas sorry if I was a little hostile to you earlier it's an honor to meet A fellow warrior, such as myself".
Zoro, a little taken back by her sudden change in attitude, gladly shook her hand,"Oh yeah right back Acha",(inside Zoro's head)," Don't count on me helping out too much
When she let go of his hand, she turn and squatted a tiny bit in order to face Vanellope," oh, and aren't you just the cutest little thing just squish your wittle cheeks", she said no, almost to baby, talking voice, as if she were speaking to one.
Vanellope simply smiled awkwardly at the elf girl's weird Child-like behavior," aha yeah, just me and my wittle cheeks", she said awkwardly While wincing slightly and slightly rubbing her cheeks as the elf girl let go of them.
"Apologies for Bellas childish behavior, she can be a tiny bit jumping... and touchy when she meets new people for the first time", A voice called out to them from behind.
They turned to see what they noticed was another elf walking towards them while holding what looked to be a large and thick book. The elf was tall and had light-colored hair styled into a mullet, with a large portion of it covering his right eye while he kept his other almost completely closed shut. He also wears a small robe that covers his upper torso.
He walked towards them in a calm and still manner keeping his hands still at his side, It was as if he was walking like a stone Soldier.
"You learn to get used to it the longer your Acquainted with her", The tall elf said calmly as he made his way over to them.
Hearing this however made the small elf begin to pout at his comment, Which as a result made her push past with Trio and stop toward the calm elf," Hey don't go saying bad things about me in front of the new guest".
The tall elf simply shrugged in response as he then stopped in front of her,"Well you can't exactly argue with the truth", which earned him a jab in The ribs from the small elf.
"Why do you always have to be such a meanie to me all the time?", she complained while pouting childishly.
He looked unaffected by her weak attack, Simply dusting off the part of his clothes that she came to contact with,"Well maybe if you stop with this childish charade every time someone says something bad about you, or truthful if you really think about it, and started acting you age, I might be more inclined to treat you as such", he argued back, not even bothering to look her in the eye.
While the two elves continued to argue back-and-forth, the trio stood awkwardly before them watching the argument.
Zoro leaned over to Alicia and whispered," who the hell is this mullet guy what's his deal"?
In response, Alicia also slightly leaned over to him,"That's Ruven Ilikian, he's basically the second in command here at camp. And if we aren't given orders to buy our main commander, then he's always next in line to make the decisions. He's also the Camp's medic, and how he does it is that he can use a healing miracle that can remove any injury from any individual", she explained carefully.
He looked over to see them still continuing to argue with one another," So what the hell is with those two, why are they bickering so much"?
Alicia looked over to them and knew just what he meant," Oh yeah, that trying to pay too much attention to it. The two of them have known each other since they were children so they know how to push each other's buttons. It is basically like siblings arguing with one another. Don't worry they'll calm down soon".
Something else about the tall elf rubbed Zorro, the wrong way a tiny bit,"And another thing why the hell is he talkin so high and mighty to everyone", he asked her curiously.
"Oh yeah that ",She said with a low tone making Zoro even more curious,"The thing is he actually comes from the Royal capital of our kingdom so he was raised from some more higher class standards hence why he talks like that".
Zoro, hearing this, turns to take a quick glance towards the two arguing elves before leaning his head back to whisper to her once again,"Well, he definitely acts like he's all high and mighty"?
Alicia leaned her head in as well,"Well if you think that's annoying just wait till you see Khilseith's whole bad boy routine,",He whispered angrily.
Zoro raised a brow at that last comment,"Wait who the hell are you talki-".
Before he could finish the question both he and Alicia noticed that Bellas, red with anger, grabbed the tall elf tightly by the arm "You meanie, you haven't even introduced yourself to them yet, so now you're the one who's being improper", she taunted.
"Ah yes, where are my manners", the tall elf said as he yanked his arm away from here and began walking closer towards the to humans before stopping in front of them," Salutations visitors, my name is Ruven Ilikian, I am the Doctor here at this camp and I am also second in charge here. And seeing as though you don't seem to be enemy intelligence, your arrival will not be met with hostel force.", he said, as he bowed his head towards him, and placed an arm across his chest.
Though he then suddenly stood up and turned his attention to Alicia," though I do wish that next time, you would be so kind to inform us ahead of time, if you were to be bringing any new guest along with you from your expeditions".
Vanellope, curious about something, suddenly raised her hand, which caught his attention as he then pointed to her,"Ah yes and who might you be young miss".
"Uh Vanellope von Schweetz and i have a question", she asked.
He then gestured for her to continue.
she happily obliged," Well, you say you're a doctor, but how come you don't look like one at all? if anything you look more like a fighter than a doctor, why is that"?, she then asked curiously.
A moment of silence had passed before Ruven began to slightly chuckle at the young girl," well you see here, young one I'm not exactly the same kind of doctor you're thinking of", he began to explain before extending his hand forward, which also caused a green full of magic to start flowing out from his palm," what I do is that I use a healing miracle, or healing magic if you really want to get technical, that can remove any injury from any individual", he carefully explain, as the green magic began to heal some of the cuts and scrapes that Vanellope had received from her encounter with the goblins earlier that day.
"Whoa", she said in amazement as her injuries quickly disappeared from her body," can you do any other kind of magic"?
"Unfortunately, no, I'm mostly skilled with healing arts of magic so thankfully, we have our own wizard here for that", he explained, as he continued to heal her.
Once all her injuries were healed the green or disappeared, and he pulled his hand back from her
For suddenly, reaching for something on his back.
When you pulled out next to surprised her….
It was what looked to be a mechanical crossbow consisting of a short bow fixed transversely on a stock, originally of wood; it had a groove to guide the missile, usually called a bolt, a sear to hold the string in the cocked position, and a trigger to release it.
"I also use A mechanical crossbow that fires darts whenever I go into battle. but the weapon is strictly used for self-defense", he explained as he showed his weapon off to the young girl.
Vanellope looked in awe before Bellas suddenly walked up and stood in between the two and stared at him down,"Hey don't try to swoop in and steal my new friends with your stupid, ugly crossbow! Go find your own new friends"!
In actuality, Vanellope actually liked looking at the crossbow, thinking that it was a cool weapon to have in a fight. Though she didn't dare say that not wanting to really get caught up in between the argument.
The smart option she chose to slowly back away from in between the two arguing elves, just to avoid getting caught in the middle again
In response Ruven smiled at her smugly as he placed his crossbow back onto his back," careful jealousy isn't very lady like that is it", he teased.
Bellas turned red with that girl as she began stomping towards him.
She looked almost so angry that steam almost look like it was blowing out of her ears.
To think that it was over something little like a small comment.
Zoro whispered towards Alicia again," Is she always this childishly angry most of the time"?
"Yeah it's almost to the point where a lot of people sometimes find it surprising that she's actually a skilled soldier", she answered in response
Seeing as though their little exchange was about to carry on longer, Zoro decided to step forward and ask a few questions of his own about something that had caught his attention when he entered the camp. At least before the two had the chance to begin arguing again,"Say guy since your second in command here you can answer me one question", he said, calling out to Ruven, who had danced, stood up to face him," from what she told me (points to Alicia) this whole thing you guys got going on here it's basically a rebellion against whatever this troll kingdom is. But since I've been here, I've only seen a few of you all here where the hell is your army"?
"We are the army", a mysteriously deep voice answered him before Ruven could even get a sound out, and it came from behind Zoro.
He turned to see a brown skin colored elf with light-colored hair styled into a mullet and wearing a dark-colored cloak. He also had earrings pierced, and both of his ears.
The elf was leaning up against one of the char trees, using a knife to sculpt what look to be a waxed version of a hand," The hell do we need a giant army, full of useless thumb sucking soldiers, when were the most powerful elven mercenary group, in all of the elf kingdom", he said Arrogantly as he continued sharpening the waxed hand.
That didn't exactly answer Zoro's question, so he simply turned to Alicia with a confused look, which she understood, and willingly explained," what my friend over here meant to say, was that our kingdom didn't wish to send a large army force, considering the dangers that lie within these territories, along with the obvious risk of sending a large portion of one's army, to enemy territories, and leaving the kingdom unprotected. So our kingdom leaders made the brilliant idea to send a small task force of their best warriors into the Darklands in order to complete a special operation We were assigned to by our military. Hence why there's only a few of us here. So in other words-".
"Other words, weird that group of great Elvin warriors sent the handle what other lesser kingdoms can't", The dark skin elf said, arrogantly blatantly, interrupting her. Which in return earned him a dagger, staring glare.
Zoro raised a brow and turned towards him curiouslyBefore slightly leaning over towards Alycia again,"He looks like the cheerful and indifferent type, what the hell is his deal"?
Seeing that he was talking about her comrade, she immediately went to whisper to Zoro,"That's Khilseith Sharie, He's a Dark Elf, a rare species of elves that used to have their own kingdom. Well they did until they turned evil so we had to go to war with them. The dark elves here are almost extinct after they lost And very few of them remain in the capital at least the ones who are willing to work with us anyway And don't decide to Go on an evil path",She explained that she stared at her comrade.
Zoro quickly glanced at the elf only to be met with the somewhat menacing glare shot at him,"So what's he to do around here"?, he asked, not breaking any eye contact with the dark elf.
But before she could even have the chance to answer him, Khilseith began to speak up," you know it's rude to talk about someone when they're right in front of you", he said smugly, interrupting her.
While Alicia simply rolled her eyes and annoyed it, Zoro quietly groaned before suddenly giving him, not really much of a mood to get into an argument with someone," then what's your role to play in all of this hot shot", he slightly sarcastically asked, turning to him.
The dark skinned elf smirked in response, as he suddenly stood up, straight from leaning and extended his arm out straight. What he did was that he suddenly opened his hand, and with that a sun wave of dark smoke came flooding out of his hand. And with it came what looked to be pitch, black limbs crawling out from inside the palm of his hair. And if that isn't freaky enough, the seal that the human duo had entered through began to glow a sparkling purple, as if it was a nightlight of some sort.
The side of all of this that happened, brought an uneasy feeling to both Zoro and Vanellope.
Hell, when he started this whole magic trick, it almost had Zoro reaching for his swords, not knowing if it was an attack or not.
However, for Vanellope that uneasy feeling quickly dismissed, and what came after was a feeling of amazement at the magical site she saw before her. It was as if someone was putting on a magic show that was made personally for her .
"I am the magic user of the group, I am the reason that we remain hidden from the enemy", he explained before closing his palms, which, as a result, almost immediately shut off all the magic aura that was blowing around them.
Seeing what the magic user had brought before him, Zora was definitely content with the answer he had gotten. Deciding to stand up straight and turn his attention back to the dark elf," yeah yeah yeah uh tha-that'll do it", he mumbled, still trying to process what he had just seen.
Throughout the years of his adventures, Zora had seen lots of people, even himself, sometimes with superpowers. But to see someone actually use real magic he had only heard of in special magician shows or done by Real magicians was a tiny bit surprising, not completely shocking just surprising.
The dark skin elf only smirk in response as he went back to sharpening the hand without looking at either, one of them,," Hm, I don't know about you humans but elves like us are powerful enough to the point where we don't need a large army to take down a threat", his smirk grew as he was about to say something else,"Or to be a threat for that matter".
"Hey, what's that supposed to mean"?!, Vanellope shouted, taking offense to the elf's rudeness.
Zoro raised his brow curiously," yeah, you don't seem to have anything nice to say about us humans".
"Because there's nothing about you humans that's nice or interesting for that matter. All any of you humans have ever done is destroy anything you don't like. Your selfish actions are what started the word to begin with. And it's all in order to look stronger for other creatures, like us higher up on the food chain. Humans are a bunch of Pathetic excuses for lifeforms if you'd ask me", the dark skinned elf said angrily, pointing to both humans before him.
"Hey"!,Vanellope shouted, even more offended than before.
Zoro, taking just as much offense to that comment," You care to repeat that to me one more time", he said menacingly as he reached for his sword and grabbed it by its handle.
Khilseith, seeing this, begins to chuckle," I think you hurt me the first time human, what if you really want for me to repeat myself...", he started as he got up from the tree and started slowly walking towards them as his eyes began to turn to a bright violet color," I could do it a lot more explicitly".
Seeing that something was about to go off, Ruven stepped forward and began to intervene,"Khilseith, What have I told you about starting problems with people?! You better knock it off right no-"!
"BUTT OUT LAP DOG!!!",The dark elf viciously barked, which caused Ruven to quickly shut up,"Never been this friendly with humans before us. I don't know why the hell where I can get a zip for all buddy, buddy with them! Especially when it was damn mistreatment of magical creatures that started this war in the first place",He shouted angrily as he pointed out the door of humans who were both confused at what he was talking about,"Tickets about time they start really answering for what they've done"!
Before he had taken more than a few steps, Bellas had suddenly stepped in between him, and the two humans, as if to break up the confrontation.
This action she took stopped the tanned skin elf in his tracks as he made his way over to them.
The small, female elf glared angrily at him,"Khilseith stop being a big meanie to them. They just got here and you're already making a bad first impression", she lectured him in an angry tone as she then walked up and pointed her index finger on his chest,"If you don't have anything nice to say to anyone, then don't say it at all"!
A tile wave of dead silence hit the group for the next few moments. Everyone was wondering what the dark elf was going to do about her standing up to him.
Zorro kept his hand tightly around Enma, half expecting the dark elf to push past the smaller one and lunged right at him.
To his and Vanellope's surprise, that's not what happened.
Nothing happened actually, because Khilseith himself didn't do anything except do something in a way that shocked both the humans in front of him.
He began to turn red, not as if he was sick, but as if he was blushing, a tiny bit as if he was nervous about something,"T-this Is none of your business you little runt, so why don't you just butt out"!,He angrily barked with an almost nervous stutterHe pointed off to another Direction.
The smaller elf however wasn't budging, Even with his intimidating stature,"Not until you stop being a stupid meanie to our guests they need help not you messing with them"!, She sternly ordered standing her ground.
That however only made the redness on his face grow even brighter, Which as result made him even angrier as he could be seen by everyone around him creating his teeth,
Both the humans were completely confused by what they were witnessing, But what made them even more confused was that they noticed that none of the other elves seemed concerned about what was going on at all.
It was as if they were used to this kind of behavior from their peers.
If anything they look more amused at what they were seeing than worried in this slightest bit as if they knew that something like this was going to happen,
"I can do whatever the hell I feel like you're not My mom and you're sure as hell not the boss of me, I don't know why you always have to act like you are short stack"!, He barked angrily at her.
That only made her step forward and yell right back," I wouldn't have to treat you like that if you aren't always being such a bully to everyone"!
The dark-skinned elf did the exact same thing,"Oh yeah why the hell do you care so much?! What does it matter to you anyway you little runt"?!
"It matters when you're a full grown Soldier acting as if you're a 10 year old bully",A voice suddenly said out of nowhere,
Everyone turned to the right to see none other than a young looking elf with light-colored spiky hair, who also wore a light-plated steel armor over black clothing and carrying a rapier.
As the spiky hair elf made his way over to them, Khilseith Began to scoff at the site of the elf, the redness in his face suddenly disappearing,"This doesn't have shit to do with you Orrian, Doing this pipsqueak over here can mind your business",He ordered as he then turned His attention to the elf.
The new elf, unfazed by Khilseith's intimidation,"I don't know if you're confused with Where We Are or who we are, but we are trained And professional soldiers! Not children in the schoolyard bickering with one another! You either need to get back through your head and start acting like it And get back to work or you can go back to the kingdom yourself where all the people who weren't cut out for this mission are"!, He ordered angrily as he then pointed to a random direction that neither Zoro nor Vanellope were familiar with.
And there was dead silence between the group before the dark skin elf turned away from the trio in front of him and began walking towards the new elf until he was almost right in front of him,"And you think you're going to be the one to go and make me, huh goody two-shoes"?
Response to this hostility the spiky hair elf simply stepped forward until he was inches away from Khilseith's face As he stared straight at him with a terrifyingly serious face,"I don't know Khilseith, do you"?
After he asked him for a few more moments of Silence where the two simply stare at each other menacingly…
The tension was so thick you could almost cut it with a knife that might even break if they came into contact.
Everyone stood there silently watching to see which one of the two would fold first and who would be left Victorious.
A few more moments had passed before Khilseith suddenly sucked his teeth and turned away from the new elf,"(tsk) You're not worth my time anyway",He said before backing off and walking to another direction of the camp.
" This Isn't a game Khilseith, stop making this shit a habit get your act together or I'll have you doing toilet Duty for a month"!, The elf warrant as he watched his subordinate walk off.
The dark elf simply waved him off and continued walking off into the inner campsite, but not before making a quick glare at Zoro one last time and saying,"Let's see how long they keep you here as a pet, human".
After he said that Zoro simply watched him walk off into the deeper parts of the camp, Glaring had him angrily and somewhat suspiciously every step of the way.
He was curious on what he meant when he said that they were the ones who started the war or to be more plural humans were the ones that started it.
It was just something that had piqued his curiosity and mainly made him wonder what else was going on that they weren't aware of.
But before he could really go into a deep thought about it but spiky haired elf who are confronted and suddenly walked up before him ,"Sorry about him he's got a lot of demons they hasn't worked out yet from his childhood it kind of makes him an asshole sometime he's just needs his ass kicked sometimes in order to keep him in line. I could definitely assure you though he means well, Hope he didn't say anything that offended you or your little friend here".
Zoro simply chuckled in response,"No it's cool if you've been on as Many Adventures as I have you turn to meet a few people that you hate or don't hate. believe me it's nothing I'm not used to, and the kid well I'm sure she's tough enough to handle herself".
"Yeah if you live with some of the bandits I've had to live with you tend to get used to people being rude to you", Vanellope said following up on that
"Hehe I guess I can't argue with that way it's thinking", he said jokingly Before taking a step back suddenly deciding to introduce himself,"All right now It's about time I introduce myself, The place you're in right now if you've already been told of the Rebellion team that was formed in order to fight ag It seems that you've already met my Teammatesthe forces of the trolls. It is basically a small camp of elite elf warriors and I am the leader of them, my name is Orrian Norcan, From the looks of it it seems that you've already introduced yourselves to my team and vice versa," As he continued his introduction both Zoro and Vanellope noticed that his face suddenly turned serious,"Now before we go any further with these conversations, I think it's about time we address the elephant in the room which would happen to be Who you are and how you both ended up in our camp and how and why you both are wondering throughout the dark lands?
Sense Zoro was basically the adult in the situation he was the one who decided to speak up and answer those questions," all right, well look my name is Roronoa Zoro, i'm a vice captain of a pirate crew and this one next to me is Vanellope von Schweetz, she's a little girl from my captains hometown. And before we came here I was originally hiding out with my captain who isn't here by the way in his hometown hiding from our government who let's just say weren't really big fans of us. We were on our ship getting ready to go to bed when suddenly we were approached By a weird guy and a white suit who tried to kidnap our captain and though we did try to fight him he ended up activating this weird pipe in the ocean that sucked up us along with our ship inside of it. And from what your subordinate here told us when she found us, It turns out that transported us into an entirely different dimension. And then after going through this weird colorful Dimension full of other pipes we were separated from my captain and we accidentally ended up through one fiery level like pipe that well, surprise surprise sent us here. And then after finding a few hundred of those weird green little Goblin things you were telling us about we meet up with your said subordinate and after a little bit of traveling here we are".
After Zoro gave him that explanation, Orrian quickly glanced over at Alicia who was just standing beside the swordsman," And you said that there was another person with you, your captain was it",He asked not bothering to take his eyes off her.
Zoro almost immediately nodded his head,"Yeah but he accidentally got taken another Direction while we were through that colorful place. That's mainly the reason why we're with your friend now in order to help find him".
Orrian Raise the brow at that answer,"So you found it necessary to stay in the dark lands where there's nothing but danger here rather than just going back to the work pipe in order to go home and look for your friend"?
Zorothen after hearing the question slightly went to his teeth nervously,"Well yeah we were going to but then we ran into a problem and then...…uh".
"Zoro here forgot where the portal was after fighting all those goblins and now we're kind of lost here", Vanellope suddenly spoke up, completely Throwing him under the bus and calling him.
"Hey I didn't forget where it was all right. It is just That that force was like a maze. And I had to go and find you to make sure you were all right",Zoro argued, not wanting to admit his no sense of direction.
"I only went to hide in a castle like you told me to so I wouldn't get hurt and it wasn't even that far from the pipeAnd I definitely know it wasn't that complicated of a force that we were in. I just didn't have the chance to get a good look of the area since I was running for my life",Vanellope shot back at him.
Though Zoro was going to argue back, he just figured to just let it go and ignore her and continue his explanation,"So yeah then we met your subordinate and then she offered to take us back to your Camp so you all can help us find a way out of this place and to our friend".
"Oh did she now?", Orrian asked, His glance now turning into a glare, One that caused her to nervously chuckle and scratch her head.
Zorocasually knotted not noticing his glare,"Yeah she did, And kind of feel the sin on some of the stuff that's going on around here".
Orrian Stood silent for a couple of seconds before suddenly speaking up,"I'm sorry Zoro, was it? Would you mind if I asked my subordinate a few questions in private? It'll only take a minute or two".
Zorro casually Shrugged his shoulders," yeah sure go ahead", before taking a step back and walking over to the other elves, Vanellope following him.
As soon as they walked up to the other elves, Bellas suddenly popped up to curiously ask,"Hey so what's a pirate? I've never heard of that word before".
Zoro, not seeing the harm and telling her, began to explain to her what their definition of a pirate was .
All the others began conversing, Orrian motioned for Alicia to come over to him so they could talk in private, or more like for him to reprimand her, as she had the feeling in her guts that that was going to happen.
And even though she didn't feel like going through a lecture she reluctantly followed after him as they walked a few feet away from everyone else or at least out of hearing.
Almost immediately after they were far enough away from the others Orrian began speaking,"Do you want to explain to me just what the hell you were thinking bringing random strangers into our camp?! Do you have any slight bit of notion of the danger you could be putting us all in by doing this"?!
Hearing the anger and frustration in his voice Alicia decided to choose her next few words for her explanation very carefully. She wanted to make this sound justifiable,"Listen Orrian, I know how this may look but-".
Before she could even finish that sentence he had already continued speaking over her,"And not only that, but you lead them directly To our base of operations and practically welcome them in on a red carpet. And what's worse is that you did this without even confirming whether or not their story was the truth or not"!
That this is her chance to finally say something, Alicia tries to speak up again,"Oh will you see there was a perfectly good reason for-".
But yet again she was interrupted by another one of his Repriments,"And I can guarantee that you didn't finish the assignment that I gave you, did you"?!
Alicia was about to say something but then after hearing the question she paused, which pretty much told him all he needed to know about that one.
Orrian Like a long sign of frustration before finally taking a deep breath and asking her calmly,"What the hell were you thinking Alicia".
Though it was finally her time to speak Alicia took a deep breath as well before beginning to carefully explain,"Look Orrian I know this looks bad and believe me I'm still trying to process the fact that I did this myself, but I'm telling you that I had a reason for doing this. Those two were out there fighting for their lives against Goblin forces, for Christ sakes I found that little girl hiding in that old castle scared for her life. The only reason that she's even alive right now is because I was scouting the area and happened to notice the hordes surrounding the castle. I barely made it in time to save her".
"And that Warranted you that offer our help to find their missing friend in a warp pipe that could be anywhere in an area we still barely know anything about?! Christ sakes Alicia what made you think we can help them out with that especially when we're in the middle of a war"?!,He angrily asked her.
"Well I figured it would be a good way to get some more people over here to help us out considering how Much we're all struggling to keep up with the enemy in this war. and in return we'd be able to help them find their friend and figure out how to get them back home while we do so",Be carefully explained while still trying to justify her actions.
Though the explanation only seemed to stress Orrian even more than he already was,"Yeah we don't have time to do that and focus on the current situation at hand. Their friend could literally be anywhere as of this moment and so could that warp pipe that they arrived from. We don't know this area well enough to search for it especially when it resides within an enemy territory. To try and help them out now would only waste time, time of which we don't have much of right now, especially with the new information we had just received about the war"!
"What was I supposed to do to leave them stranded in this dangerous bearing Wasteland to search for their friend? Wasn't the point of fighting in this war to help people who need help in this war", she asked.
"Don't sit here and act as if you don't know why it's not that simple to just go and do that. Believe me I understand why you're doing this and it's not as if I don't want to but we have to be smart about what we do right now. I'll be out to random humans from another dimension to go and look for their friend will only serveTo distract us from our objective here and cost too many problems for us down the road",he calmly argued back with her being, not as angry as he was before.
Alicia took a deep breath before continuing to speak,"Orrian Believe me I completely understand where you're coming from when it comes to our current situation and not wanting to waste too much time on these humans. Couldn't just leave them out there to die you know that especially not when there's threats out there that could kill both of them".
Though Orrian was going to say something in response to his old friend he figured he heard her out.
"I know we're not going to be able to put all our energy into helping them find their friend, trust me I do. But if we could at least Point them in the right direction and make sure they're knowledgeable of this world Instead of throwing them out to the Wilderness unprepared. You know deep down that that's the least we could do for them and it shouldn't even take us that long either".
Orrian continued to remain silent trying to think over what she was asking of him, when he suddenly felt Alicia's hand gently touch his shoulder,"Please Orrian, They need our help".
With that after taking a second or two to think it over, Orrian let out a loud groan,"We can keep them here but only for 2 days can't have them here any longer than that. Still do have to discuss so I'm really important matters".
Giving a sigh of relief at least Alessia slightly bowed her head in gratitude,"Thank you, Orrian".
Just as she was about to walk over to themAnd let them know the good news, When suddenly Orrian stopped her with his hand.
She turned around curiously to see what he had to say,"One more thing, were you or those two over there followed in any way back to the camp", he asked sternly.
Alicia thought about it for a little bit before answering; she didn't seem to notice anything following her back to the camp and considering that she killed a few goblins. And what the swordsman said about killing a lot of the Goblins she doubted that they would bother to follow them back in risk of getting killed. So she definitely figured they weren't followed, She looked back up at Orrian and gave a confident nod,"No not at all".
After hearing that confirming answer Orrian decided to take her word for it,"All right you're sure let's go tell our visitors the good news. And before I forget we need to discuss some important matters in the meeting tent in 20 minutes so make sure you're there after you drop them off",She says he's the motion for her to continue walking what she did, him following after her as well.
And as they were walking back up to them Zorro had just about wrapped up his explanation about what Pirates are," Phone hiding site Pirates are just people who like to go on adventures while living on a boat and traveling the world and follow idiotic captains along the way".
"Huh, an interesting choice of lifestyle never heard of before, you humans truly are as fascinating as we once remembered", Ruven commented.
Bellas Just looked at him and wide-eyed amazement ,"Wow you kind of Adventures everyday that's so cool"!
"Yeah you know I'm actually a pirate in the making just trying to wait a few years, enjoy the childhood you know", Vanellope said confidently trying to soak up some of that cool energy.
Zoro was about to say something else he saw that Alicia and her commander were walking back up to them, seeming as though their conversation had ended.
Zoro turned around to face them curiously,"Hey everything all right"?
"Yes and With some good news for you too. After some much needed further discussing it's been decided that we are going to do the best that we can to help you find your friend and your way home. While we do that you two can stay here and rest yourselves up I know you've been through a lot within these last few hours", Alicia said.
Zoro in response to this began to yawn before answering,"Yeah I think a little rest is what we need right now".
Vanellope who had also been in the conversation followed up on what he said," Yeah then after that if you want I can try and help you out with some things around here while we're looking for Luffy".
Alicia smiled and nodded agreeably,"Yeah that sounds like a plan so if you follow me I'll lead you both to your tent",She said as she motioned them to follow her which they did deeper into the campsite.
As they watch the trio walk away, the other three elves big ant converses them off themselves,.... well at least Orrian and Ruven did, Let's decide to go back to her duties until the meeting starts.
"Did you tell her what's going on", Ruven asked his CommanderIs the two began to walk towards the meeting site.
Orrian Shook his head before exhaling,"No I wanted to wait till she was at the meeting in order to fill her in on everything that's going on".
Ruven after hearing his answer moved his fingers through his hair stressingly as they continued to walk ,"Orrian What the hell are we going to do now everything we've done up until this point will be for nothing this is all true".
"I don't know but I do know that we'll have to figure something out soon before it's too late ," Orrian said
And with that the two continued on towards the meeting, but what all of the elves including the two humans were unaware of was that far out into the distance where Jacob couldn't see. There was a pair of goblin eyes watching them in the bushes long enough to see the trio enter the cloaked field.
Excited at his new find, the little green goblin hopped out of the bush and began running towards its headquarters, in order to inform his commanders that he had found the rebellion's hideout.
(End of chapter)
Hey everyone, yes I know it has been a while but to be honest, I've been real busy with finishing up my last year of high school and some other personal things in my life that I've really needed to take care of. I kind of took a step back and a little bit just to work on some other stuff. As far as I'm concerned, I kinda just needed to figure out where I was going to go with this story though I do have the story fully planned out. I had to make some massive changes just so I could fit the same setting and vibe that I'm currently giving with the story now this is far from over and I'm kind of just getting into what the store is going to look like moving forward, so I need to really take a step back and analyze what I was doing and what I was going to do moving forward. I know some of you may complain and ask why it's taking so long, but really low. This is just for fun I wanna make sure it's accurate or everything we grew up with or is Acura as I can get it it's a lot harder to come up with stories than you would originally think, and believe me when I say, I'm really trying my best to make sure these are out and perfect as they're supposed to be and need to be. So until then, that's gonna be the thing I'm not gonna take as long as I did this chapter but I am definitely going to be taking my time and making sure that these chapters are absolutely perfect as they need to be.
But enough about all of that dramatic stuff
Like the new characters I introduced into the story believe me there's gonna be plenty more coming up soon
I got some good news. I've got some more fan fictions that are in the works. I'm going to reveal them on my social sites soon where you can also find updates on this, so I'll let you know now that I'm not going to be uploading the sand fashions until after this story is done. I know you probably want multiple fanfic at once but that's just too much for me to handle right now. I don't exactly have a team. I'm just a 19-year-old kid still going through high school so I need time to make sure to plan every step. I only really have my brother to help me work on this and most of the time it's really just me putting in the hours to give you a story though don't worry I will be veiled, and due time my social sites are.
