Dear Diary: It's me again. Months have passed since I've last wrote to you, yet a lot has happened in those months. Our leader is gone...whisked away by those Tendoushu...It's hard for me to put into words what happened to our Capt...no, more like a brother. Life in this rag tag gang of pirates haven't been the same since you've been gone Kamui. No one has been appointed as your replacement, the Old Man refused to take leadership, as did I, 4th and so on. We believe in you Kamui. Whether by your sheer will, or by the will of those who love you, we will get you home. The news of your capture months ago fueled us to build our little battleship to something of a warship, kind of cool huh? The rest of the crew is doing well, Monika, Ham-san, and everyone are hoping for your safe return. If need be, we're ready for you Captain. We always will be ready for you to return.
No Man placed his notepad down and looked around the pilot room. 4th was steering the ship, giving No Man a wave as they made eye contact.
"How are you holding up No Man?" 4th asked him, with a bit of concern in his voice. No Man shook his head as he made eye contact with Monika. She was walking towards him, handing him a piece of paper,
"Abuto-kun would like to speak with you." she directed towards the Captain's Quarters, still with a Long John's Silver hat glued slopply next to the name plate. No Man stood up and made his way to Abuto, passing Ham-san on his way, who he gave a quick fistbump to. Monika opened the door for him, and he entered. Abuto was sitting in a chair next to Kamui's desk, as to not take his captain's seat.
"Shortman, I know it's been a few days since we've been able to speak, but I felt like now was a better time than ever." Abuto gestured to the paper in No Man's hand. No Man examined the paper and looked back up at Abuto,
"What is this supposed to mean? Do you realize how far away from Edo we are? We can't go back there and risk losing more men...it's hard enough losing-" No Man got choked up as he glanced over at the empty desk next to the two men. Two pictures sat there, facing outward of the desk. A single picture of Kamui taking a selfie with a full pirate get-up, and one picture with him and his crew taking a huge group photo in front of the ship. Abuto took the picture and began to take the frame out, "Hey what are you do-" but Abuto put his finger up to No Man to silence him. Abuto removed the back of the picture frame and took out a second photo that was placed behind the crew photo.

"No Man, I understand how difficult your upbringing was, how you never really had a family. Kamui however, was. He squandered his opportunity at this family over his mother's death, yet he never let go of them. Even up until his disappearance, he inevitably ended up back with them." No Man shook his head before Abuto could continue,
"No, Abuto, I do have a family. It's you guys. You're my family. I understand why Kamui went on this mission to Koukan. I realize he isn't my blood, none of you are my blood. What does that change? We don't have to be related by blood to be family...Kamui is my brother, and I cannot let him be captured like this. It's just that...what are the chances this person could even save him, or stop these people? We don't even know who he is and why he showed up..." No Man crumpled up the paper and began to leave the room, but Abuto grabbed his shoulder from behind.
"I'm not taking no for an answer No Man. We are going to Edo and we are meeting this person. Not you, not 4th, hell, not even Monika can stop me. I'm going to get our Chief back if it kills me. I swore my life to him, and yet I'm sitting out in space doing nothing for him. What does that make me? What does that make us? It's like you said, we're family. He knows it too, why do you think he keeps his real family behind us in this portrait? As much as he won't say it, we're family to him too. We know they're still on Koukan, and we can do something about it. Having this man, who's said to create anomalies might just help us. He has to be like Joe or Steve right? If this report is to be true, he is our answer." Abuto was starting to raise his voice, but No Man embraced him before he could continue,
"I understand Big Man, I understand. We-we have to do anything we can, even if it means doing something as dangerous as this...Nice flannel by the way, it really suits you well." Abuto chuckled as he embraced his friend to, setting the picture frame back down on the desk.

"Are you awake?" Josh opened his eyes to see a girl in a maid outfit standing over him. He grasped as his heart and looked around the room. It was painted to look like a sky, and he was in a comfy bed, but still he had no idea where the heck he was. Tama stood up and clapped, a blonde man was leaning against a wall in the room,
"Like the denim Tama-san? I think it fits my metallic body well." Kintoki showed off the denim fit while Tama ignored him.
"Do you know where Gengai-sama is, Kintoki-sama?" Tama asked, handing Josh a cup of oil. Josh inspected it and poured the drink behind him while Tama looked away.
"Nope, haven't seen that old bastard in a few days. Who knows where he is." Kintoki shrugged. Josh was pretty dumbfounded, last he remembered was falling into some unknown city from a book within his cousin's house, screaming, then passing out.
"H-hold on...where am I?" Josh questioned. "WHO are you?!" Josh was scratching his head. Tama stood up and bowed,
"I'm Tama, I am a robotic maid serving Otose's Snack House. That is Kintoki-sama over there in the silly getup." She gestured to Kintoki who nodded his head. Josh was now even more confused than ever.
"Well, that doesn't help me at all..." Josh began to sit up and get himself together, but his handy dandy notepad slid out of his pocket. Tama looked at it and pointed,
"You...you are just like them...Steve-sama and Joe-sama. You all have...that!" Tama said, getting kind of excited.
"W-wait, you know my cousins?!" Josh said getting even more confused. Kintoki shook his head,
"I may have never met them, but yes, I am certainly aware of their existence. Those two are heroes of Edo, they've helped save this country and the world countless times...to even think you contain the same powers as them." Kintoki removed himself from the wall and began to walk out the door, "Tama, I'll go patrol and look for others, I promise I'll be safe, I'm a robot after all." Kintoki saluted and slid out the door. Josh picked up his notepad and looked at it. It was half notebook, half tablet.
"That isn't like Joe-sama or Steve-sama's notepads." Tama remarked. Josh nodded,
"Yeah, I got this new high-tech one. It cost me a pretty penny, but I enjoy it a lot. I always admired those two, kind of looked up to them. I just never got the chance to be around them a whole lot while growing up. But, whenever we did get together, Steve would tell me all these fantastical stories about adventuring and solving clues, Blue's Clues." Josh said, looking back fondly. Tama nodded,
"It's the same with some people here. Steve-sama and Joe-sama both came here and did "detective adventures" I believe with, hmm how did Gintoki-sama call it, Green Haired Freak-sama." Tama said, smiling. Josh scratched his head again,
"How did Steve and Joe know you people..." Josh pondered. Tama was glad to explain,
"My memory bank contains this knowledge! Steve-sama and Joe-sama both read the story you're currently in right now! It's a little hard to explain, but running it through my processors makes it a bit easier to understand." Tama said. Josh offered to abstain from getting her "processors". I figured I just heard some black haired black coat get real excited about that wording.
"I'm glad to know that Steve and Joe are here, I hope they're doing well." Tama looked away, concerned.
"Uhm..." Tama tried to piece together what to say,
"The name's Josh. I'm assuming your name is Tama." Josh said, finally introducing himself,
"Josh-sama...I don't know how to word this but Steve-sama and Joe-sama are...missing." Tama said. Josh looked shocked,
"What happened here..." Josh was just in state of shock over all this information. Tama reassured him by handing him another cup of oil. Josh wasn't really to bent out of shape about this, but didn't try drinking it.
"With the power of that notepad, we should be able to do something about this war Josh-sama." Tama said. Josh looked down at his notepad,
"What can I even do with this? I-i-i just write little doodles and play Wetris on my phone!" Josh said, confused. Tama reassured him again,
"I know people who can help you with that Josh-sama, just wait for Kintoki-sama to come back. We have intel of survivors hiding in a small dojo just outside of Edo!" Tama said, excitedly. Josh inspected his device more,
"This is...going to save my cousins? Oh Josh, what have you gotten yourself into..."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Sakamoto-san I'VE SOILED MY BRITCHES." Pakwhomyasa was laying on the only bed, naked and disgusting. Tatsuma was kneeling in the corner of the cell staring at the wall.
"I'm stuck in a cell with someone I've never met in my life. Two of my best friends are fighting monstrous beasts outside." As he said that, he heard one of the Orochi's cry out in pain and an explosion happening in the distance. "Toying with them like they're play things. All for some sick person's enjoyment. I just hope Mickey and Mutsu are doing well...hmm wait a minute, FAT MAN!" Tatsuma stood up and pointed at the slob of a man. "I KNEW THIS WOULD COME IN HANDY! I HID A DEUS EX MACHINA IN YOUR FAT FOLDS! AHAHAHAHA!" Sakamoto reached into Pakuyasa's stomach and pulled out his trusty gun,
"What the-" Pakuyasa was so confused, but shrugged along with it.
"HEY GUARD!" Sakamoto yelled. The skeleton guard walked up to the cell and Sakamoto stuffed the gun into his nosehole
"You don't want me to have to go all roadtrip on your ass, do you?" Tatsuma said in a gruff voice. The Skeleton took the gun from his hands, opened his cell and started to whale on Tatsuma with a billyclub.
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHAHAHAHA! HELP ME NAKUYASA!" Tatsuma yelled and laughed as his plan was throttled. Pakuyasa took the opportunity and dashed out the cell while the guard was distracted,
"Ahh shit, we got one loose on the ship!" The skeleton yelled into his radio, and then continued to whale on Tatsuma. The scene cuts to Nameless, still watching over the two samurai fighting for the lives. Skele was using his applied superhero skills, striking the large Serpents, while Zura was using his martial arts to fend for himself. Nameless chuckled to himself as his former comrades were duking it out, then he felt something cold pressed to the back of his head.
"Remember me you traitor?" Pakuyasa pressed the gun harder against Nameless's head. Guards of the Tendoushu came up to apprehend him, but Nameless put his hand up to stop them. Nameless clapped and the giant serpents went back into the sand, leaving Zura and Skele exhausted,
"Giving up so soon?!" Skele yelled. Nameless smiled and shook his head.
"Oh no, of course not, it just so happens one of your pals wants a demonstration of just what I'm capable of!" Nameless turned around, the gun now in his face. "I remember you Pakuyasa, and I assume you remember me...Heh, to think we could have worked together, but you instead decided to party with these...these scums." Nameless spit on Pakuyasa's face, which angered the samurai,
"I'll pull the trigger, I swear on it." Pakuyasa said, holding it sideways now, Nameless shook his head.
"If you're going to shoot me, can you at least, just once...tell me what my name is." Pakuyasa looked confused, but for some reason or another just couldn't remember his former comrade's name.
"Exactly as I thought. Now let me just-" Nameless kicked the gun out of Pakuyasa's hand, startling him. He glanced over at his actual comrades,
"Zura, Skele, don't worry about me! Just, just find a way to survive...please don't hurt anyone more out there while I have him distracted." Zura and Skele looked at their fellow Joui compadres in the sand. Nameless pressed a button and a dome formed over the two.
"I don't know how you got past my security, or how you were able to walk on the ship in that condition. I'm assuming you aren't fully human." Nameless took off his protective suit, "Anyway, none of that matters, you're fodder just like your little friends out there. In a matter of time, I'll be able to withstand not only the space air, but anything you can throw at me." The Nameless man reached into his pocket and presented something to Pakuyasa,
The Nameless man chuckled to himself as Pakuyasa looked in horror,
"An Altana Crystal...how did you get one of those..." Pakuyasa tried to reach for his gun but Nameless drew his sword and pointed it right at Pakuyasa.
"I have my ways you ignorant slob. First of all, you come in here and ruin my HUGE MAIN EVENT! I cannot forgive something so ignorant. You should have known your place and waited in your cell." The Nameless man waved the crystal in Pakuyasa's face.
"Don't think for a second I won't back down just because I don't have a weapon." Pakuyasa said, putting his fist up. The Nameless Man tossed Pakuyasa his own sword. Pakuyasa caught it and was confused.
"If you want to fight me so bad, then I can always re-schedule the main event out there, and put myself in as top billing." Nameless pulled out his much shorter Wakizashi in favor of his own katana. He showed off the hilt of his sword, revealing a small slot. He inserted the Altana Crystal into his sword, causing it to glow and roar in power. "I wouldn't even bother trying to face me in combat Pakuyasa. I know everything about you and your fighting style. However, I was surprised that you were able to breath in this space...I wonder why that is." Nameless stanced, waiting for Pakuyasa to ready himself. Pakuyasa shook his head,
"You obviously don't know everything about me," Just as Pakuyasa said this, he sprinted at speeds Nameless couldn't comprehend,
"W-what?!" Nameless couldn't react in time, as Pakuyasa sliced into his shoulder from behind,
"You should underestimate your former samurai." Pakuyasa dug the sword out of Nameless's shoulder and hit him with a blow that sent him flying into the side of the dome, nearly cracking the heavy glass that it was made of. Nameless looked up at the cut in his shoulder and chuckled.
"Not bad, you're a surprisingly agile be-" before the word 'beast' came out of his mouth, Pakuyasa appeared behind him and kicked him back to the center of the dome, and simultaneously stabbed Nameless in the chest with his sword. They landed near where the battle began, next to the gun. Nameless looked surprised and a bit hurt by the stab wound. It was opposite of his heart, so it wasn't vital. Nameless grabbed the sword and snapped it in half.
"You're not the only fast one Pakuyasa." Pakuyasa's adrenaline finally wore off and finally noticed the small blade stabbed into his abdomen. Pakuyasa rolled off of Nameless, gripping at the sword. Nameless stood up and looked down at the fallen samurai. "You're weak. You wielding my sword was a disgrace." Nameless spit on the hapless samurai. Pakuyasa didn't want to pull the blade out from his abdomen, so Nameless did it for him. Blood began to rush out of the wound, Pakuyasa trying to control it. "Pathetic." Nameless kicked him while he was down a few times, looking up at Zura and Skele. "IS THIS YOUR COMRADE?!" as Nameless was kicking at Pakuyasa, the downed samurai managed to reach the gun in time, and pistol whip his ankle. Nameless fell in a hep, reaching for his ankle. Pakuyasa struggled to his feet, using the broken sword as a cane to hold himself up. His other hand, he carried Sakamoto's glock. He aimed the pistol directly at Nameless's head, but was caught off guard by what he witnessed. The gash on Nameless's shoulder was beginning to patch itself up.
"No...you..." Pakuyasa hesitated far to long, as Nameless was able to capitalize by stabbing Pakuyasa in the right foot. He ripped the blade out of his flesh and knocked the gun out of his hand, while kicking the sword out from under him. Pakuyasa fell to the ground, still grabbing at his abdomen. "You...ingested the crystals...didn't you..." Pakuyasa was struggling to get his words out. Nameless seethed his sword and began to clap.
"Looks like we got our selves one smart COOKIE! You figured it out, didn't you ol Paky?!" Nameless brought his sword back out, ready to attack more. Pakuyasa put his hands up,
"If we are too continue, let me stand up. Honor the code we took before going into battle all those years...ago." Nameless put his head down and nodded. He backed up to give Pakuyasa some space,
Zura and Skele looked on from the distance as Pakuyasa struggled to his feet, blood dripping from his wound, and puddling around his foot. He hobbled to one leg, drew the broken sword and bowed. Nameless smirked and whipped his sword around his body, the Altana Crystal growing in its florescent blinding glare. "FIGHT ME, COME ON!" Pakuyasa beckoned for Nameless to come at him again. Nameless pounced at lightning speed, swinging at Pakuyasa, but was matched by the shorter sword. Pakuyasa was managing his best on one foot, but stumbled numerous times, getting sliced on the arm, the face, and his chest. Nameless leapt backwards after getting dozens of his swings blocked.
"You're surprisingly nimble in such a weak state. As for me? I barely got a scratch on me." He smiled as his shoulder wound was completely gone, and his chest wound was covering up. Pakuyasa, despite all the injuries, offered up a smile.
"You don't need to cover up your weaknesses with something...like Altana...you're much stronger than that. On the battlefield even...you were top notch." Pakuyasa's smile stayed on his face, a smile lasting a thousand moments in mere seconds. The final phrase setting Nameless off like an alarm, causing the man to rush the sword deep into Pakuyasa's chest. Nameless looked down at the samurai as he fell to his knees, the smile still stretched across his face.
"You never cared for me. You don't even know my name. No one does. Let my memory die, as I so intend to do." Pakuyasa grabbed Nameless's arm and looked up at him with blood running out of his mouth, and tears forming at his eyes.
"You were more than just...a nameless face in a crowd to me....you were my comrade...my brother." Pakuyasa released grip and put both of his hands on the ground in front of him.
Nameless stared down at him as blood was still forming in a pool around the man, his pants getting soaked in his own blood.
"You were never my brother. None of you were. You never understood the hardships I went though during and after that damned war. Not one 'happy birthday', not a single, 'hey, how are you doing", nothing. You don't even...you don't even know who I am. No one does. Not those idiots outside this dome, not those idiots out there wandering space looking for you. No one. I've fought for everything to get to where I am today. I will rule this world Pakuyasa. The days of the samurai are over, and be it by my hands? It's ironic in a way, but it's what will satisfy my life goal of ridding you all of your names. I will erase the samurai and begin a new." Nameless raised his sword. Pakuyasa did not avert his gaze from Nameless's feet, hands still on the ground bowing.
"You may treat my death as nothing more than a stepping stone to complete your goals. You may be able to defeat every samurai in the land and erase their names. But, you've forgotten one crucial thing in this land, my brother. You've forgotten that you cannot kill the spirit of the samurais. You cannot kill our bushido, and you cannot defeat our memories. I, like everyone who will fight you to protect their lives and their home, will stand defiant to you until our final breath." Pakuyasa's consciousness was beginning to fade from the loss of blood as he began to slur his words. Nameless shook his head. Zura and Skele looked on in horror,
"PAKUWHOSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Zura and Skele yelled. Nameless took his blade and drove it directly into Pakuyasa's heart. The samurai slumped down on Nameless's arm, the weight of his body leaving. Nameless took the sword out of Pakuyasa and placed it back into its holster. He motion for the Tendoushu to hand him his space suit and to lower the dome. He turned to face the two samurai who couldn't believe the sight of one of their comrades laying there motionless.
"You're a monster...not even human anymore at this point." Zura said, scowling. Nameless shook his head and chuckled,
"If you oppose me like that, you're going to be dealt with swiftly as well. Now, please, go back to entertaining me as you were!" Nameless said, signaling for the beasts to come back out and fight. "Here, you got this guy now too!" he motioned for the skeleton guard who brought Tatsuma out of his cell, and tossed him down to the planet below. Nameless only sat back, smiled and nodded.
The Shogun was sitting at the helm of the ship watching it all unfold in front of him, 'Such violence, fer mere sport to...that jus ain't right.' The Shogun couldn't help thinking. He tapped on the glass pondering to himself about this Nameless man. He knew he had to get his end of the deal out of this eventually, he just didn't know when to try and strike him down. He turned around to face the three captured in their tubes. He stared at Kamui the longest, trying to come up with something (or perhaps he was staring at his rockin ripped abs). Just as he was about to turn away, he swore he could hear something faint coming from the tube,
"Mami..."
The Shogun stepped back out of shock, "I swear I must be goin crazy with this new fangled air I'm breathin in..." he held his head and sat in the chair in front of him.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Shinsuke, it's uh...it's me Gintoki. I know you've been stuck with me for 4 months but I need to talk with you for a little bit." Gintoki was standing outside of Shinsuke's quarters. It was early in the morning in the part of space they were in.
"Gintoki...please just go away. Let me sulk in here in peace." Shinsuke said. Gintoki ignored him and pushed the door open. Shinsuke was sitting at his desk in the room, holding up a picture of Katsura. Shinsuke looked up at Gintoki and put his head back down immediately. "Please, just go away." Gintoki shook his head,
"I can't do that Shinsuke. I understand what you're going thro-" Shinsuke stood up in a flash and got up in Gintoki's face,
"YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M GOING THROUGH. YOU NEVER WILL UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M GOING THROUGH! WHAT IF...what if he's dead Gintoki...I-i wouldn't be able to go on without him." Shinsuke backed down from Gintoki's face and sat down. Gintoki didn't blink as his friend sat back down,
"It's true Shinny, I don't know what you're going through. But I'm still fighting. You cannot give up Shinsuke, even if no one understands. What I understand is that I'm missing a best friend. Someone who has been there since my childhood. I'm missing someone...someone who I've grown so attached to that I can't put into words how I feel...and I'm missing my...my associate. How can I...pay her if she isn't working."
Shinsuke looked up at his friend, his brother in a sort of realization. "You're not the only one on this ship hurting Shinsuke." Shinsuke looked down at Gintoki's hands; he was clinching a hairpin that Kagura left behind. "Pattusan grabbed this before leaving the tea house...I've been sleeping with this for the past 4 months in hopes to see those two again." Shinsuke got out of his chair this time not to confront Gintoki, but embrace his friend. "You know this is very unlike you Shinsuke..." Gintoki accepted the embrace,
"Having mementos to cling on to...no matter how small..." Shinsuke was looking past Gintoki at his and Zura's closet, still lined with dresses, kimonos and the likes that Zura would wear. The countless memories of the two in this room flooding back to him. Tears were welling up in his eyes as Gintoki put his hand on top of his friends head.
"We're going to rescue those three, no matter what it takes Shinny. We're going to save Edo if it kills us. We've done it before, so why can't we do it again?" the two put their heads together and parted. Gintoki left Shinsuke to sob in his own mess as one of the lower ranked terrorists knocked on his door,
"Sir, we uh, have huge readings come from the northwest...at Koukan. It'll take us 5 days to reach the planet, but we can check it out as fast as possible." Shinsuke nodded and shoo'd the man away. Shinsuke walked over and picked up a small figurine made in the likeness of his husband. The gift Skele gave to him on his wedding.
"Yeah...I'm not the only one suffering. Let's bring you guys home." Shinsuke clinched onto the figurine and never let go for the rest of the night.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Mukuro, you are walking too fast. I can't keep up with you or Joseph." Oboro and Poe slugged along, Oboro dragging his feet with every step. Nobume stepped back and slapped him,
"Shouldn't that 80's tune have woken you up a bit? How about we blast some of this!" Nobume pulled out a boombox and started bumping,
"Nobume, you can't be bumping this too loud, the Tendoushu can hear us!" Joe yelled, turning the boombox off. Nobume looked disgusted as he stopped her grove. Oboro chuckled but she sliced in the air, cutting off some of his and Poe's hair. Joe stopped them both, he pointed at the ground in surprised,
"Look...it's a clue..." Joe said. He walked out in the middle of the street and examined the ground. He knew something had to have happened there, but as he was investigating, he saw something moving in the alley way. "Stop! Don't move!" Joe said, drawing a sword from his waistband. The figure stepped out and revealed himself,
"Shiroyasha? But I thought you had white hair..." Oboro said, having to change his name,
"No, I'm not Gintoki. I'm a robot that was built in his image years ago. I'm Sakata Kintoki. You might know Gengai or Tama, I live with them. Joe, you're just the person I wanted to see actually. I'm surprised I ran into you." Kintoki said. Joe used his detective skills,
"So you know about this." he pointed at the clue on the ground. Kintoki nodded,
"You're cousin is resting at our place." He said. Joe's face went pale,
"J-Josh is here?" Joe was flabbergasted. Oboro, Poe, and Nobume were just as confused. Kintoki gestured them to the alley,
"He needs help Joe, help from someone who mastered the notebook." Joe's gaze darkened, he didn't want to have to bother Josh with the troubles the notebook could bring, but he knew this was the only way he was going to save his brother.
"Ok, bring us to him. It'll be a fun family reunion I think."

"Hey Big Guy, where are we going? You've been dragging use around these woods all morning. Are you trying to find the new TBC chapter? I wouldn't be searching too hard if that was the case." Sougo was munching on a kebab he had brought along with him on this "Top Secret Super Excellent Mission" that Gonard had prepared for the Shinsengumi."We're almost there guys, see look!" Gonard pushed past a large shrubbery and revealed something so bizarrely idiotic that Toshi dropped his kebab in shocked stupidity.
"We're going on a roadtrip!" Gonard yelled. Yamazaki's face went completely pale as he saw the letters E and F in conjunction with each other."Oh so we're just rehashing ideas now huh author? Couldn't come up with anything new?" Sougo said mockling at me. The Shinsengumi consisting of Kondou, Toshi, Sougo, Yamazaki, Gonard, Joe, Steve, and Saitou walked up to the three standing at the police van.
"Vandalizing a police vehicle..." Toshi said scratching his head.
"No worries Green Man! the Princess did it!" Gonard said patting him on the back. Toshi walked over to pick his kebab up to drop it again.
"Wh...why is the princess hanging out with those two Amanto Princes? Where's Pops at?" Koundo asked worryingly.
"Don't worry Gorilla! Hata is like, one of my bffs too. Kagura couldn't make cause she said she "Isn't paid enough to be in a B story"!" Soyo said, fist bumping Hata. Barkus sighed, knowing this was going to be a long road trip.
"P-p-please don't tell me we aren't going to see Exploding Feminism..." Yamazaki said, shivering.
"Of course! We have to meet Bansai, we got VIP tickets!" Hata said, holding up exactly enough tickets for everyone.
"Well I don't mind a break from all this detective work, eh Joe!" Steve said, playfully elbowing his brother. Joe smiled and nodded.
"Why does it say NYPD on the side of the truck?" Sougo said. He shrugged as he and Saitou climbed into the van and snag the most comfortable seats for sleeping.
"This is gonna be great guys, come on!" Gonard hurried everyone on the bus.
"I guess I'll drive." Barkus said, starting up the massive police vehicle.
"Think about this, we turn our blinkers on and run every red light on the way there!" Hata said, excited. Soyo jumped up and agree.
"NO WE ARE NOT!" Toshi yelled back as he sat in the passenger seat. Hata and Soyo were sitting across from Kondou and Sougo. Sougo stared across at Hata with unease, rubbing his neck.
"Didn't think we'd see each other again so soon." Sougo said awkwardly. Hata brushed it off and returned to gossip with Soyo. Kondou put his hand on Sougo.
"Sougo my boy, it's ok to not understand love. My burning passion for Otae and Fake Otae are immense and it burns my heart. I'm sure you feel the same." Sougo stuck his kebab stick in Kondou's hand and stood up. He put his facemask on and slouched down next to Saitou who was already asleep. Joe and Steve sat in the back of the van with Yamazaki and Gonard. There was a couple of TV's set up and a Wamestation that Zaki and Gonard were hogging up.
"This will keep my mind at ease before the big disaster." Yamazaki said, as video game sounds played in the background.
"I'm not sure why you're so scared to see Exploding Feminism, I hear they're excellent live!" Steve said, a little excited since he was a fan of their work. Yamazaki put his controller down and turned to Steven with a horrified look.
"That man is a criminal. I know what he does to me...I just haven't caught him yet. I guarantee he has an entire altar in my name." Yamazaki turned back around and continued gaming.

"He's totally thinking about me KyuKyu, I just know it." Bansai was sitting in his dressing room with Kyuubei and the rest of EF. Their show starts in 3 days, perhaps their biggest venue yet.
"Well, I'm sure he is, and I'm sure Otae-san is thinking about me too. You just gotta believe!" Kyuubei slapped him on the back, causing his glasses to fall to the floor out of sheer force.
"Be careful, we need him later." Elizabeth signed, flipping the drumsticks in their flippers.
"Senpai, that Yammy Wammy whatever guy is not thinking about you. Just get over it and focus on the gig!" Matako said with a hint of anger.
"I agree Bansai-dono, don't fuss with our manger, she's a busy woman." Takechi said, nodding to Kyuubei. Kyuubei had been labeled as EF's new manager going forward after the events of Valentine's Day. She didn't really know what to do, but she's happy to help her friend and his band.
"Yes, I've got to consult with Otae about money handling at the moment. I mean, we're playing in the largest stadium in the country, the Mega Ultra Dome, about 60 miles outside the capital. It's pretty much its own city at this point." Kyuubei got on the phone and walked out of the dressing room. Bansai sighed,
"It's not like me to be nervous, but I got a feeling that I need to play my heart out in a few days." Bansai stared at his guitar, the word "Yammy" etched into the side of it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I've heard, all those love ballads are about ME!" Yamazaki said, throwing the controller, Hata and Soyo butted in,
"Uhm, no, they're about me." they both said simultaneously.
"Alright you hooligans, we're making a pit stop." Barkas parked the van outside a rest area.
"What, old man gotta rest?" Hata said to his brother. Barkas turned around and glared at him while turning off the van. "I need to get this thing fueled up, since no one bothered to before we left."
"We never use this thing anyway, it just sits in the back of our headquarters." Toshi said, shrugging. Toshi and Barkas got out to fill the gas tank, but as they put the nozzle into the tank, it busted off and gas started pouring everywhere. Toshi looked down, having a lit cigarette in his mouth. He looked back up at a non-existent camera like in The Office.
The cigarette fell from his mouth and caught the gas trail on fire, setting him, Barkas, and the van on fire.
'"ONII-SANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!" Hata screamed as Barkas ran screaming into the rest area's convenience store."TOSHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII" Kondou yelled as he and the rest of the Shinsengumi tried to put the Vice Chief out. Soguo carrying a gas canister in his wake.
"THE EF MOBILEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Soyo yelled as she fell to her knees in horror as the police van caught on fire. Gonard joined her as the two sobbed on the ground.
"Why don't we just try and put the fire out of the can instead of crying here...wait...SAITOU-SAN IS STILL ASLEEP IN THE VAN!" Joe yelled as he peered into the van, but he was grabbed from behind.
"Don't worry Joe-sama. That's just my body double." Saitou handed a card that said this to Joe. Joe looked back at his body double, which was now melted away,
"Wh...was that a real human being?" Saitou turned away and walked into the convenience store for a bottle of Arnold Palmer. The three stood there as their van burned to rubble. A couple of fire men came rushing, put out the fire, then left.
"I loved that van..." Gonard said, putting his head down. He looked over as Sougo had his head shoved into the gas canister, while Steve was pouring water on Toshi, who was burned to a crisp cartoonishly."Someone go into that store...buy me as much mayo as you possibly can." Toshi said, and Kondou rushed in there. He saw Hata shoving Barkus into the freezer to try and put the fire out, which kind of worked, but just burned Barkas more before finally the flames died down. Eventually the whole gang met up at the burnt van. They all were shaking their heads, some crying. However, Gonard was not detoured.
"Look guys, how about we just take that van under that bridge over there!" Gonard pointed,
"We gotta make that concert one way or another!" Gonard yelled pushing them towards the bum van."This is stupid, why is the only time we get screentime is on some stupid adventure to a concert that I don't even want to attend." Sougo said, putting his sleeping mask back on.
"ROADTRIP 2.5!" Soyo and Hata yelled as the hopped in.

I'd hope they're ballsy enough to do a Brock/OC feud. My personal choice would be Samoa Joe, especially if they decide to actually push him as more of a babyface/tweener following this week's Raw. Build him up to be like the Vegeta to Roman's Goku sorta, both being from a proud warrior race and all dat?
I would love to see Joe succeed in any timeline also

Hasegawa drew a large breath from his cigarette as his own theme song rang out in his head,
"Three whole months cooped up in this cell out in space...for what? Why did they arrest me? Because I'm a former government employee?" Hasegawa spoke to himself. A Naraku guard banged on his door,
"Keep it down, you're keeping the other background TBC characters awake." Hasegawa's face grew dark.
"Such is the life of a Madao...forever confined to a cell after being dead for several arcs, coming back to Okinawa, and now I'm here..." Hasegawa shook his head.
"Could you keep it down over there? Some of us are resting up for the next arc!" Hasegawa heard the screams of characters who's irrelevancy could not be understated. The author felt a boot in his mouth, but continued to write anyway. Suddenly, just as if things couldn't get any weirder, the wall to his cell exploded and there stood a blonde haired robot staring at him. Madao's cig fell from his mouth and began to catch the mattress on fire.
"I'm not waiting around any longer while my Sensei is in Edo, missing. Plus, Yes Man-san owes me 5 bucks." Genos walked into Madao's cell and put out the small fire. Madao was shocked to see one of the top heroes of Edo standing in his very cell. "You." Genos pointed at Madao who leapt back on his bed.
"M-me?" Madao looked confused. Genos flung his hand in the air and showed a small hologram,
"To the heroes of Edo and beyond, I call upon you to aid in our fight against the Tendoshu!" Hasegawa was shocked to see a familiar face, Barkas from the planet Oukoku. The hologram continued, "Teaming up with Enshou, the Gun Smoke Prince of Burei, we plan to counter-attack the Tendoushu's grip on our allies! Gather yourselves, and take down those good for nothing traitors!" the hologram dissipated while Hasegawa looked on with determination.
"Hasegawa Taizou. I know who you are, and I know your ties to Oukoku's leaders. Take us to Barkas and the Liberation Army." Genos pointed behind him to the various TBC characters who didn't make the cut in the main arc pie. Hasegawa crept out of his corner to see the wave of characters standing in their cells, each wall blown out by Genos. "Don't worry, Tatsumaki and myself took out all the guards fairly easy. After Kiyoko-sama was able to hack into our holding cell's forcefields after months." Kiyoko giggled,
"I'm fairly good at hacking, not just writing!" Kiyoko said, unvailing a fairly nifty skill.
"Using such grunts to guard two of Edo's most powerful heroes, a shame. If Sensei was here, he would stop all this from happening easily...what foe could have taken him down within these past months..." Genos pondered. The camera cut down to Edo, in ruins,
"We must warn our comrades of such a dangerous threat. Hasegawa-san, you are our only link to Barkas, may we be in your stead as you lead us, the background characters of the Hangover Arc?" Genos said, kneeling in front of the Madao. Hasegawa was stunned but put his head down,
"To think, after all I've gone through...to be relied on now..." all he could do was chuckle, reach into his pocket and pull out his pack of cigarettes. Genos looked up, worried he wasn't going to accept the offer. The ragged old man sparked up his lighter and drew from his drag. He turned back to his comrades,
"Someone show me the way to the controls, we're going to save our friends." Genos smiled and stood up as everyone else cheered in the cells, all chanting "Madao"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Shinji." Shinji was half asleep when he was woken up by his father.
"Dad, can't I rest? It's been awhile since we've been able to sleep." Shinji and the others had to change hiding spots every few days to keep the Tendoushu off their tails. Their current hiding spot, the hideout the Jouishishi rebels used during the war, was equip with beds and food. The smell of freshly cooked beef from Gedomaru and Uncle Billy filled the living quarters daily. Gendou was rocking Gendou Jr in a make shift crib next to Shinji.
"Shinji, this is important for you to hear this from me...I've never really had the chance to convey my feelings about you before." Shinji managed to sit himself upright with his upper body strength to listen to what his father had to say.
"Shinji, I might not always be there for you...hell, I was never there for you since your mother passed away. Forcing you to work under me in the convenience store, NERV, and even pilot the very soul of your mother, should have never happened. Deactivating her made me realize much more now how much of a shitty person, no, a shitty father I've been to you." Gendou stopped rocking his younger son's crib and reached into his pocket. He pulled out his wallet and dug into it, pulling out a small picture. He handed the picture to Shinji, showing him, his father, and his mother smiling, together. It was before the horrible accident that took her life, and scarred Shinji to this day. Shinji gripped the picture tight, tears beginning to swell in his eyes. "Keep it Shinji. I can't be forgiven for the things I've done to you or the people around you, but I want to at least extend something for you. I know now might not be the best time for olive branches, but I never know when the last time I'll see you again will be. Let's survive this together, and go back to how it was before the takeover." Gendou stood up and walked to the door, about to enter the pseudo living room of the hideout. Shinji whispered, just loud enough for Gendou to hear him,
"Thank you Dad..." Shinji looked at the photo a little more, before placing it in Gendou Jr.'s crib. Gendou walked into the bangest BBQ of all time,
"Well shit, if it isn't the Old Man himself! Had some father-squirt bonding eh? Well, we fixed up the grill. Me and Gedo got the meat cookin, and the veggies steamin." Billy said, flipping over the meat. Isaburo was trying to sleep, but got relegated to the bed in the living room where all the ruckus was. He was furiously texting to someone, no one knows who though.
"Oi, should you be resting up. You're beaten to hell you disgusting white coat." Hijikata said, closing Isaburo's flip phone. Isaburo looked up at Hijikata with disgust and laid his head back down on the pillow.
"Like you would care, I'm just worried about my email buddies. I haven't gotten anything back from any of them, not even Nobume." Isaburo looked down-hearted saying Nobume's name, hoping she was doing well. Hijikata sat down at one of the folding chairs and sighed with a plate full of meat that looked like it came straight from Hell.
"Hell, me and my men are all worried about someone in this war. Steve has been missing all this time, and I'm so helpless...it just isn't right damn it." Hijikata stabbed the meat with his katana. "Big Blue hasn't seen any of his fellow acting friends either. Kondou hasn't seen that fake Otae-san either. We just have to keep having hope, even if its diminished to nothing." Hijikata took a bite of the meat and fell over, almost dying. Luckily, he had his mayonnaise to dowse the heat. Kyuubei and Otae were taking part in Otae's side dish she prepared for the BBQ.
"Otae-san, I haven't heard from Bansai in a few hours. Usually he keeps me updated on Wapchat Stories, but he's gone dark." Kyuubei said, worrying a bit. Otae comforted her friend,
"Don't worry Kyuu-chan! I'm sure he's doing just fine!" Otae said, with a smile on her face, but she too was worried about her brother and Gintoki. Gendou grabbed a plate and sat down next to Ozu who was holding up a picture of his wife.
"It's been a very hard few months Hasegawa-san. Being without Kiyoko for so long has really wore me down." Ozu said, stuffing the picture back into his suit. Gendou patted his friend on the shoulder,
"It's hard, but you have to believe she's safe Ozu." Gendou said, reassuring him. Ozu wasn't convinced,
"What if that damn Yorozuya swooned her while I was away...I can't bare that feeling." Ozu said, starting to get angry. Gendou just smiled awkwardly and dug into his Hell Meat. The camera cut to Oboro getting hit in the face with a crayon.
"This is getting absolutely ridiculous. We sat through a montage and he's still fumbling. This is the great power that will save us? A man named Joshua?" Oboro said. Poe flew off Oboro's head to retrieve the crayon for Josh. Poe swooped down and dropped the crayon on his head,
"Ow! That kind of hurt, damn bird." Josh said, scratching his head. Joe hushed him,
"I would say that too loud, Poe is immortal you know." Joe said. Josh just face palmed, still trying to take everything in. Joe got his cousin's attention, "Look Josh, you have to focus. Once you've accepted where you're at and the realization of everything happening, you'll find your power. Now, please trying drawing a tree again." Joe said, handing him his notebook. Josh took Joe's notebook and crayon and started to draw again.
'Gotta focus...a tree. First the trunk...then the leaves...' a weak tree popped out of the book and wilted instantly. Joe shook his head, but then remembered something. He smiled to himself,
"Josh, I know what you're doing wrong." Joe said. Josh looked perplexed. "You haven't even addressed them yet." Joe pointed at the readers. The people in the audience were confused.
"Do you think he's pointing at me?!" Tama said, excitedly, but then excusing herself again. Josh looked confused,
"What do you mean by them?" Josh said, but then he heard something answer him,
"Hi Josh!" he heard a chorus of people say. His face fell into complete horror. Joe rushed over to him,
"Now now, I know this sounds even more insane, but trust me. They are your number 1 source of power. Isn't that right guys?" the voices answered back in agreeance. "Just ask them what you need to draw and explain it Josh." Joe said, letting him go again. Josh took a deep breath and looked directly forward,
"Alright guys! What do we need to draw?" he scoffed at himself, thinking it be silly, but they answered.
"A tree, a tree!" they called out. Josh was shocked, he then took crayon to paper and started to explain his steps,
"A large trunk, and then at the very top, some leaves!" then a large tree, brimming with life came sprouting from the notebook, reaching the top of the stadium's dome. Everyone in the audience looked on in awe. Joe put his hand on his head,
"Wow, that's...that's amazing Josh." Joe said. Joe was rather impressed with this huge feat of drawing ability, but he still needed to get that Skadoo test perfect. "Josh, you have their power behind you now, try and Skadoo one more time." Joe put the piece of paper down on the field, while everyone in the crowd leaning in anticipation. Nobume even took her sunglasses off. Josh took a huge breath,
"Alright guys, what do I need to do?" the audience answered,
"Skadoo, Skadoo!" Josh smiled and started the dance,
"Blue Skadoo'd, we can too!" and Josh was off in a flash. He shrunk down perfectly to the paper. "H-hey, I did it! I actually Skadoo'd!" Everyone in the audience roared in cheers and applause. Josh skadoo'd back out of the paper and hugged his cousin.
"I think you're just about ready Josh, but I have to warn you, it could get a little ugly out there.." as Joe was talking, the loud roaring of cheers was so loud, that it could be heard on the surface. The ceiling was already busted through by the tree, and dozens of Naraku soldiers dropped down.
"Halt! You are all wanted by the Tendoshu, surrender or face the consequences!" the leader of the small squad said. Joe smirked,
"I hope you're ready to test those new found skills cousin!" Joe sharpened up his arm and started to slash at the soldiers.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nameless sat in his throne staring down the battlefield. He spotted the lump that was his former comrade, Pakuyasa. He looked at where his wounds used to be, completely healed with the power of the Altana. It was painful, and he still felt sluggish after the fight.
"Uhhhg..." Nameless was holding his head, knowing his grand finale was about to begin. "Pakuyasa, why did you have to force yourself to fight me...what drove you so much to fight for those people." he stared at the long haired noble, and the hero skeleton taking down Orochi's with ease, even fending off some of their old Joui comrades. Nameless hit a buzzer and a large man carrying Tatsuma stepped out of the ship's dock and onto the battlefield with the rest of the Joui's. Nameless snapped his finger and a microphone rose from the ground,
"ALRIGHT YOU BLOODY FUCKS! WE'RE ONTO OUR MAIN EVENT!" he clapped and the Orochi's went back down into the ground. Skele and Zura were panting, covered in scratches and blood. "So much BLOOD and GUTS spilled today! It's like a meat factory out there, I mean come on!" Nameless clapped for himself,
"Let Tatsuma go you scum!" Skele yelled. Nameless shook his head,
"No dice, he's in for a world of trouble! Yeah, a lot of trouble..." Nameless set the microphone down. He slouched back into his chair, his thoughts drifting. The Altana was beginning to mess up something in his body, the fight he had with Pakuyasa exhausted him to such a state that he was in now. "That damn laughing man...How would he remember."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nameless's mind drifted years into the past, his days fighting in the Joui war. Countless dead bodies laid around him and his comrades. Some Amanto, some of his own men. The moon was waning, and the sun peaking out from behind the mountains. The facial hair clad man laid back against a rock, blood seeping from the top of his head after he removed his helmet.
"Need a pick me up?"
"Kurokuno..." Nameless grabbed the Pocari bottle from his friend and took a huge sip. He needed a refreshing drink after the hard battle they just fought mere hours earlier. "How do you stay so upbeat Kurokuno? You're always ready to give us an assist if we need it...you don't gotta do that for all of us." Nameless put the lid back on and handed the drink back. Kurokuno smiled and knelled down next to him.
"You're all my comrades, my brothers. You, me, and even our good pal Pakuyasa-san! We may sit in the back and gather assists, but at the end of the game, that counts as points for our shooters." Kurokuno pointed to a man laughing his head off. The man noticed and walked over,
"You're going to join them right? Don't bother waiting for me Kurokuno, I'll catch up in a bit." Nameless tossed the pebbles he held against another rock near him. Kurokuno looked at the back of the Loud Fellow as he made his way to the base.
"I was hoping to livin up the base with a fun game of kick-the-can! Get the men a little bit of moral. Does that sound like a good idea...Kaname-san?" Nameless looked back to Kurokuno, kind of in shock. He never once told anyone his actual name, let alone his past.
"How do you know my name?" Nameless asked. Kurokuno chuckled and pointed at the hilt of Nameless's sword. It read "叶夢" on top of it.
"Your name means "dream come true", a very beautiful name. Why don't you use it? I don't think anyone else around here really knows who you are." Kurokuno put his hand on Kaname's shoulder.
"Don't let your name go to waste. It's beautiful. Let's say after I finish this game of kick-the-can; me, you and Pakuyasa-san can grab lunch. On me of course!" Kurokuno lifted his hand and signaled for a fist bump. Kaname stuck his hand out and bumped Kurokuno's. Kaname looked on as Kurokuno twirled the bottle in his hand and waved behind his head. It was but only a few hours later, the disaster of Kurokuno's death took place. After being ambushed during their game of kick-the-can, the rebels rigged their base to blow up whilst Kurokuno was still inside the building counting to 100. Nameless slammed his hand down on his throne in present time. His memories rushing back to the night after Kurokuno's death. He was laying there in the grass, far away from the rest of the rebels, as he couldn't even trust them anymore. He never heard from them about the accident, as his only clue of his demise was the Pocari can that lay discarded in the burning rubble. There was only one other Joui rebel staying back with him was Pakuyasa. Pakuyasa was sitting a few feet next to him, his knees up to his chest,
"Do you...really think they just let him die? That can't be the case..." Pakuyasa was deep in thought, but Nameless was laying there with intent in his eyes. The intent however was vague, as it was muttled with tears and regret.
"I let him go Pakuyasa...it was my fault he left to go with them...why did I trust that laughing bastard. Damn those 4...DAMN THEM ALL TO HELL!" Nameless pounded the ground next to him, nearly hitting Pakuyasa. Pakuyasa barely reacted,
"Do you remember that time me, you, and Kurokuno took this picture?" Pakuyasa handed Nameless a picture,
"Right after a successful battle, we were so young those few years ago. The beginning of the war is so much different than it is now. We went and had a few drinks, partied and had to wind down before we caused too much chaos." Pakuyasa chuckled at this, tears swelling up in his eyes too, as he was beginning to get choked up himself. "He told us, "You two are my best friends in the whole world. I may be a runner boy for the higher in command, but to me, I'll pass you guys the ball whenever you call for it. I would even die for you guys". Maybe that last part was fueled by the alcohol, but I don't believe that...he really would have put his life on the line for us." Pakuyasa looked over but didn't see Nameless there. He got up and looked around, but saw nobody. Nameless had gotten up and sprinted towards the old base that was torn to tatters. It was only but a mile away, yet even in the darkness, he never stopped running. He didn't care who would stand in his way, he had to get back there. After his run, out of breath, he sat down at the foot of the steps. It was the only part of the building not turned to ash after burning down. A few feet from him was the can of Pocari, untouched, and undisturbed. Nameless drew his katana and stuck it through the can, stabbing it into the dirt.
"I won't let them trample over us any longer..." Nameless looked down at his name etched into the top of the hilt, "My name..." He bent down to grab a hand full of ash and soot. Nameless began to cover his name up with the debris, effectively fading it out till it was almost unrecognizable. "I am no one...I've always been no one, and I always will be no one...Kurokuno, I cannot forgive our comrades for what they've done to you. You told me to live my name....my dream is to rid the wrongdoers of this land...the so called "samurai"." Nameless walked out of the base, opposite of his fellow Joui members, never to fight alongside them again. Nameless's mind drifted back to present time, Tatsuma was struggling as the large man was hoisting him in the air,
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! WHY DID YOU STRAP A BOMB TO MY CHEST?! I'M NOT ZURA OR TAKASUGI!" Tatsuma was struggling, but to no avail. Skele and Zura began to run towards the large man, but Nameless came over the intercom,
"Don't touch that large gentleman there...if you do then that Loud Fellow is gonna go...BOOM!" Nameless said. Zura and Skele stepped back, getting more cautious. However, Nameless was interrupted by one of his subordinates before his main event could begin,
"Sir...we've lost two of our captives and...one of the Joui rebels has gone on a rampage. He's tearing up our ship from the inside out." Nameless grabbed the lower ranked lackey and tossed him through the glass dome that was separating him from his Main Event.
"MAIN EVENT'S CANCELLED! AGAIN!" Nameless started to barge into his ship, knocking everyone out of his way until he started seeing damage on the ship. It was being torn to shreds, blood was filling each corridor. Soon, the goateed man came face to face with a raging demon, and white demon. "Well, well, well, if it isn't the Shiroyasha himself! So nice to see you after all this time Ginto-" But before he could finish Gintoki grabbed him by the face and slammed him into the floor of the ship. The two went flying through the ship's interior, landing roughly 3 stories below where they started.
Gintoki lifted his hand from the man's face to get a better look at him,
"You did this to her...didn't you." Gintoki was standing over the man, who's limbs were twisted and mangled. His body was pierced about 5 times with stray metal pipes as they were plummeting through the ship. The Nameless man only smirked as he removed the metal from his body, and fixing his limbs. The Altana was still coursing through his body, relieving him of an untimely death.
"I needed to research her Gintoki, well not me, but the people who I'm working for. I don't really like to call them that, really they're just using me, and I fucking hate it!" Nameless was now standing up, perfectly fine, and now talking in a mocking tone. Gintoki's teeth began to grate,
"You BASTARD!" Gintoki began to hack and slash at the man with his wooden katana, the sounds of bones shattering and flesh being ripped was filling the near hollow interior of the ship. Gintoki grabbed the man and tossed him back up the three story hole and back to the main floor, still walloping on him. The Nameless man was taking it in stride, but soon realized he wasn't healing as fast as he did earlier, he was avoiding death one too many times. He blocked Gintoki's slashes and flung him toward the jail cells. Gintoki stood up and threw his sword at the Nameless man, striking him in the gut. Gintoki began to run towards Nameless, but he too received a katana, a real one, to the gut. Gintoki turned around to see Nobunobu standing behind him, his sword piercing Gintoki's back.
"I reckon I heard you broke my cowboot key...now I have to use my clown frog key to keep those pardners locked up." Gintoki smiled at this,
"I KNEW YOU HAD A CLOWN FROG KEY!" Gintoki broke the sword of of Nobunobu and slapped him with the wooden sword so hard it sent him through the walls of the ship. Nobunobu was nearly unconscious, while Nameless pulled out a receiver.
"Alright Hitsu, you know what to do." Meanwhile, while all this was happening:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"IS THAT ALL YOU GOT?!" Shinsuke was slashing away at Hitsugi, but the much larger man was putting the pressure on the smaller man. Shinsuke was about to feel the strike of Hitsugi's arm blade, before Elizabeth butted in and slugged him in the face with a huge hit of his antenna. Shinsuke looked up as it was sitting through a hole in his suit. "Do you really have to whip that out here?" Elizabeth kicked dirt in Shinsuke's eye and blinded him for a second. Bansai yelled,
"COME ON MAN, THAT'S OUR CAPTAIN! YOU SAVE HIM THEN KICK DIRT IN HIS FACE?!" Elizabeth shook his head as he ran to back up the 7th Division fighters from the other Harusame. Abuto met up with Elizabeth,
"Yare yare, I hope the Captains don't leave their ships...it could get ugly." Abuto said shaking his head. Shinsuke was back on the attack of Hitsugi, but couldn't land a blow on him. Shinsuke's sword was bending and bowing after every strike of the armblade.
"You're weak Takasugi. I have Utsuro's blood flowing through me...you'll never defeat me." Hitsugi slammed down and grabbed Shinsuke by the kimono. He tossed Shinsuke in the air and nearly impaled him, if it wasn't for Shinsuke wedging his sword between Hitsugi's gauntlets and his arm. Shinsuke flipped of his sword and pulled Takechi's out.
"You're not using this, right?" Shinsuke asked, Takechi shook his head no. Shinsuke readied himself, but before he could Hitsugi stopped. He ripped the sword from his gauntlet and tossed it aside.
"You have good moves Takasugi, but you aren't ready to face me. I have an emergency order to tend to. I'll be sure to finish you off next time I see you." Hitsugi jumped into the sky, and in nearly one leap landed on top of the ship. The ship shook from the inside as the ceiling ripped open. Hitsugi jumped down next to Nameless. Hitsugi knelled down to the nameless man. Gintoki slumped over next to one of the empty cells, starting to fade from the expended adrenaline and blood loss. He looked down to make sure the stab wasn't vital, which it wasn't. He slid down and looked as Hitsugi barreled through the hallway towards the chambers where Shinpachi, Sadaharu and the prisoners were. Gintoki outstretched his hand, but could barely move. Nameless walked over to him and stared him down,
"Look at how...pathetic you are down there." Nameless was clutching at his injuries, now taking longer to heal. "Don't worry, I will leave you friends alone...well that is your little red heads. They're worthless to me really. I'll be taking the bald one however, I kind of need his powers to end you samurai once and for all. Oh, and not even the samurai at that...no! Hahaahaha! TO ACTUALLY THINK the Tendoshu had their thumbs so hard pressed on my little head...I laugh." Hitsugi came back, carrying Steve's holding chamber on his back.
"If you return to those big hat wearing freaks, you can tell them I ditched them cause I've known their little Naraku leader for a long...long time. Tell them I don't need them, I don't need YOU, and I certainly don't need these weaklings running this stupid ship." Nameless and Hitsugi began walking towards an emergency ship, but stopped to turn back to Gintoki,
"Gintoki, I wouldn't follow us unless you want more of your friends dying. I've already dealt with Pakuyasa for betraying my trust. I'll be sure to do the same with the rest of you Joui samurai." he opened the pod and the two walked in. Gintoki could only look on as he began to fade.

"Haji, we don't have time to play Sai Battles, right now, we're battling some hard boiled detective work." Heiji put his sai down on the desk in front of them. His apprentice shook her head,
"Heiji, why aren't we in the prison with the other background TBC characters?" Haji asked. Heiji took out a glass of brandy from his desk and took a swig,
"Because Haji, this is our debut, so it's impossible for us to be background characters. We've been tasked with important detective work from a Mr. Wakuyasa." Heiji showed a picture of a sack of potatoes.
"IS THAT WHO ASKED US?" she exclaimed. Heiji put the photo in his desk,
"Yes, he instructed us to find more about these two people." Heiji held up a picture of Nameless and a picture with a question mark that read "Kurokuno" "Right now, I've done some very sleuth detective work Haji. I've seen and talked to shit you never want to imagine." Haji shruged,
"I couldn't imagine something worse than the author's photoshop job on our picture." she was very correct.
"I have more than just a cover story for a cheap 5 cent pulp magazine here Haji, I have front page of the Wdo Wimes Newspaper. Take a look at this." Heiji slid Haji a picture,
"I took this candid picture of the one "Kurukuno", slick detective work am I right?" Heiji took a big puff from his cigar, but at the same time Haji rip the picture to shreds. Heiji's mouth gaped open as he was in shock. "MY WORK! WHY DID YOU DO THAT HAJI?!"
"To make sure we don't get sued." she said shaking her head. "If you want to be used as a cheap, one off character, be my guest Sensei, but you have to have some sort of hard evidence!" she was starting to get frustrated, as if having a sack of potatoes as a client wasn't enough frustration. Heiji was still ready to produce facts however,
"As we can ascertain from the text above, I have all I need to crack the story." Heiji began to steal the words I typed and put it as his own paper. Haji slapped the papers out of his hand and lit them on fire with the cigar.
"If this is your attempt at comedy, you're failing." Haji said, as I felt that was directed towards me, who was trying to liven things up a bit. But, just then, the phone began to ring.
"This could be our big lead Haji!" Heiji answered it quickly, nodded and said a few ok's before hanging up.
"Well Haji, it looks like our sub-subplot has been cancelled. I guess it's back to cooking some fresh, hard boiled eggs." Heiji brought out a pot and began placing eggs inside. Haji could only look on and face palm herself.
