(Skye arrives on the island.)
SKYE
Why's the town empty? Where did the locals go? Anyways, I need to find Ryujin. Thanks for the ride guys.
(She starts to head out.)
PIRATE
That… girl is a monster.
PIRATE 2
I totally agree with you…
(They pass out.)
(As Skye looks around the town she hears an explosion.)
SKYE
What was that? It came from that direction. I need to check it out.
(Meanwhile, Vee is being forced by the Richie pirates to blow up Ryujin.)
RICHIE
What are you waiting for Vee? Blow Red hair to kingdom come.
VEE
…
JUGGERNAUT
Maybe she doesn't know how to use a cannon. Here, let me show you how it's done.
(He demonstrates on how it's done.)
JUGGERNAUT
You light a flame using the match stick and then you put the flame on this rope. Then you went for the rope to go off and then boom! Goodbye Red hair!
(Before he does it, Vee whacks him using a broom.)
VEE
Oops!
RICHIE
What in the fuck are you doing?! Is blowing somebody up a big problem to you? Do you actually want to be a pirate?
DELL
Sounds like she's a softie.
RYUJIN
She's not like you Rupert. She's not as ruthless as you… she's a good person who can't take away someone's life.
VEE
Shut up! Don't act as if you know me! I'm not a good person!
RYUJIN
If you weren't a good person, then you would have light the cannon. Not to mention that I'm getting hungry.
RICHIE
No one cares about your hunger?! Men kill those 2 brats!
PIRATES
Aye!
(They draw out their swords and charge at them.)
VEE
This is bad. I need to get out of here.
(She runs away.)
RYUJIN
Hey! Where do you think you're going?! At least free me!
(The pirates start to laugh.)
DELL
Hahahahahaha! Now you're on your own Red hair.
RYUJIN
…
PIRATE 1
That's right. you trusted that girl and she turned her back on you. Hahahaha!
PIRATE 2
That's how it goes in this world. You never know who's going to turn their backs on you.
RYUJIN
…
PIRATE 3
Prepare to die!
(They aim their swords to slash down Ryujin.)
SKYE
Flaming slash!
(They get blown away by Skye's dual sword attack.)
RICHIE
What are you guys doing?!
RYUJIN
Skye!
SKYE
What are you doing Ryujin to get yourself captured like this.
RYUJIN
Looking for a new crewmate and some food.
SKYE
Did you find one?
RYUJIN
Yeah. She's good at reading maps.
SKYE
Where's she?
RYUJIN
She ran away.
SKYE
…
RICHIE
A dual sword user huh. I do know you. You're Skye Alderman. The bounty hunter that has been collecting bounties recently.
SKYE
Richie. Bounty. 15 million Jewels. Your head is mine.
(Richie takes out his daggers.)
RICHIE
Really. I would like to see you try that. Do you know why my bounty is 15 million. It's because I have a gift. A 5-star wind gift.
SKYE
This has gotten interesting. But I'll not allow you to use your gift 1st. Phoenix cutter!
(She releases another elemental skill in the form of phoenix that strikes Richie down and the entire place.)
RYUJIN
Skye. Release me.
SKYE
I don't have the key. So I'll just have to carry you.
RYUJIN
Eh?!
(She puts her swords back to her sheathes and carries the pole that Ryujin is being chained into and runs away.)
RICHIE
(gets up.)
Oooh! I'm alive. But those rookie pirates have pissed me off! When I get my hands on them… I'll kill them.
