(Ryujin punches Henry Morgens with his lighting fist. This sends him crashing to the ground.)
MARINES
(surprised.)
Ehh! That Red hair managed to take down Henry Morgens. You're telling me that's he's that strong!
TENDA
Amazing.
SKYE
That's my captain for sure.
RYUJIN
Not yet. He's not down yet.
TENDA
Eh?!
(Henry wakes up. He cracks his neck.)
HENRY
That was one hell of a punch, Red Hair. But that's not enough to bring down someone like me.
SKYE
Should I help you in this fight, Ryujin?
RYUJIN
No. I'll handle him myself.
TENDA
Are you going to fight that monster?! You can't—
RYUJIN
Just watch and see Tenda…
HENRY
Pay attention in battle you fool!
(He aims his iron axe at Ryujin. Ryujin grabs the neck and breaks the iron axe.)
SKYE
He broke it?
TENDA & MARINES
THAT GUY IS A MONSTER!!!!
HENRY
You managed to break my iron axe?! It's made out of the hardest material in the whole of the East Sea!
RYUJIN
Maybe it was a fake.
HENRY
I don't need an axe to kill you. I'll use my gift instead!
(His gift glows as he smashes the ground causing it to shake.)
RYUJIN
Oi! Oi! OI! What the hell is going on? Is there an earth quake taking place?!
HENRY
This is the power of my gift. I'm not going to let you escape Red Hair. Eat this!
(He aims his fist at Ryujin.)
RYUJIN
…!
(Ryujin blocks the fist as there's a line of elemental energy being formed from the impact.)
RYUJIN
Ugh!
HENRY
Hahahahahaha! How do you like it now Red Hair? My fist is way stronger than yours.
RYUJIN
….
(The ground starts to crack.)
TENDA
This is bad. At this rate, Ryujin is going to lose.
SKYE
Just shut up and watch. Believe in Ryujin.
TENDA
Oh, okay. Do your best Ryujin.
RYUJIN
You imbued your fist with elemental energy to deliver a blow at me. That would have killed a normal human. But I'm way stronger. So such attacks won't work on me.
(His fist get charged with lightning.)
HENRY
How are you able to control the elements without using a gift?
RYUJIN
If I tell you now… it will be a spoiler for the readers.
(His electro element pushed Henry away.)
HENRY
…
RYUJIN
It's time to put an end to it.
HENRY
Bring it on brat! Geo impact!
(He charges at Ryujin with his fist in the air imbued with Geo elemental energy that hardens his fist.)
RYUJIN
My turn. Lightning fist
(He does the same as he charges at Henry. He dodges Henry's fist and delivers a fatal blow at Henry's face crashing him down. This time Henry blacks out. There's a mark of Ryujin's fist on his face.)
MARINES
He did it. Red Hair actually defeated Henry. Hooray! We're finally free from that tyrant.
SKYE
Looks like the marines hated him.
(Later on in the restaurant. Ryujin and Skye are eating ravenously.)
SKYE
How many days has it been? Since I last ate some delicious food!
RYUJIN
Ms. We need some more food.
TENDA
You guys are gluttons to the core.
(The door opens as some marines enter the door.)
MARINE CAPTAIN
We would like to have a word with you, Red hair.
RYUJIN
What do you want?
MARINE CAPTAIN
On behalf of the marines, we would like to thank you for saving us and this town from Henry Morgens.
RYUJIN
Sure. It's no problem.
MARINE CAPTAIN
However, since you're pirates. We would like you to leave the island.
RYUJIN
Don't worry about it. We were about to leave.
(The girl starts to tear up.)
GIRL
Are you going leave?
SKYE
Yeah. But I'll come back and tell you about our tales.
GIRL
Okay. You have to promise me.
SKYE
I will. Pinkie promise.
(Tenda heads to the marine captain.)
TENDA
Um… is it possible for me to join you guys?
MARINE CAPTAIN
What's your name?
TENDA
Tenda.
MARINE CAPTAIN
Sure. You can join the marines. But we have a record that says that you were with pirates.
TENDA
…
RYUJIN
Tenda was held captive by pirates. And he escaped from them. He never associates himself with pirates.
MARINE CAPTAIN
Is that true?
TENDA
It's true. My mission is to capture all pirates and bring them to justice.
MARINE CAPTAIN
Smirks! I like your spirit Kid. Welcome to the marines.
(As the sun sets, Ryujin and Skye are on a boat with their food supplies. Tenda comes and waves at them.)
TENDA
Thank you so much Ryujin. I'll never forget this debt.
RYUJIN
Sure Tenda. The next time we meet… you have to get stronger so that you can fight me.
TENDA
I will! Just wait and see Ryujin I'll get stronger than you!
(The boat sails away from the island as Ryujin and Skye start their adventure as pirates.)
