(Ryujin, Skye, Vee and Goa are surrounded by Richie and his pirate crew.)
PIRATE 1
Ehehe! There's nowhere for you to run.
PIRATE 2
The 4 of you are dead meat. There's no escape for you.
RICHIE
That's right. Give it up Red hair. If you just join my crew… I'll let this pass.
RYUJIN
Never. Someone like me who's going to be the god of pirates will not join your crew or even listen to a word you say.
RICHIE
What?!... Very well, you had your chance… don't come and beg me for mercy.
RYUJIN
I should be saying that to you.
RICHIE
Kill them all!
PIRATES
Aye captain!
(They charge at them.)
VEE
You better protect us or else I'll kill you myself.
SKYE
Ok we get it. What's your order Ryu?
RYUJIN
This is fun. Let's go Skye. We're going all out!
SKYE
Roger.
(Ryujin and Skye charge at Richie's pirate crew. The 2 have an upper hand as they punch and slash each pirate down.)
RYUJIN
Rupert! You're fighting me!
RICHIE
It's Richie not Rupert!
(Some pirates fend off Richie.)
PIRATE 1
You're fighting me Red hair.
PIRATE 2
We're not letting you fight our captain!
RYUJIN
Outta the way extras! Lighting twin punch!
(He punches both of them with his lighting charged fist.)
RYUJIN
You're fighting me Rupert. A battle between 2 captains.
RICHIE
That's fine. Let's make it fun. I'll even not use my dagger to fight someone like you. You're note even at my level.
RYUJIN
Let's see about that. Lightning punch!
(With his charged fist, he aims it at Richie.)
RICHIE
The winner in this battle shall be me. Wind fist.
(He imbues his fist with wind power and aims it at Ryujin's charged fist causing an elemental surge that blows away the pirates away.)
RICHIE
Outta the way or you'll get blown away.
PIRATES
Run away! Captain is using his gift again!
SKYE
Smirk! So this is the power of a 5-star wind gift user. Do you need a helping hand Ryu?
RYUJIN
No. I'll handle Roddy myself.
SKYE
Okay. Then I shall sit and watch.
(She unsheathes her swords and sits with her legs crossed.)
RICHIE
Even without a gift, you're still strong Red hair.
RYUJIN
I should say the same thing about you.
RICHIE
You'll be worthy opponent if that means you'll make IT to the Blue line.
RYUJIN
Really? I feel honored.
(Their elemental power fades away.)
GOA
Those guys are really strong. Especially Red hair. To think that there'll be someone who can manipulate the elements without a gift.
RICHIE
This battle ain't over yet Red hair! Tornado blast!
(He summons a tornado and aims it at Ryujin.)
RYUJIN
…!
(He gets caught up by the tornado and sways him around.)
RYUJIN
Guah! I'm getting dizzy!
RICHIE
Buhahahaha! Do you see how strong my elemental power is…This will be the end of you Red hair?
RYUJIN
My eyes are spinning!
VEE
Stop screwing around Ryujin and fight seriously!
RYUJIN
(rubs his head.)
I just have an idea. I'll also spin and form my own tornado. It will be called….
(A light bulb shows up above his head.)
RYUJIN
… it will be called Lightning Tornado.
(He also spins as his body gets charged up with lightning and form his own tornado that counter attacks Richie's tornado.)
