Legend of the Seven Lights

68. Blood-Stained Past

First, I congratulate IDA Official for being the 100th review of this story! Today is the day, we are invading Enies Lobby and starting the battle with CP10! Just to clarify, the KND waited one extra day before invading, just to rest and plan their attack. Now we're here. ;P

Chapter 68: Blood-Stained Past

Enies Lobby

The noon of May 20 was crisp and clear today on Enies Lobby. Nobody felt threatened because they had defenses everywhere. The perimeter cannons had faces given by Bob, serious-looking as they were bound to shoot down any intruder. The Teen Ninjas were so confident in their safety, a lot of them were goofing off in the restaurants and hangouts built on the island, listening to music or spraying graffiti. The town composed only of skilled Teens was set before the two-sided drawbridge that would connect to Enies Lobby's main building, the Tower of Justice. And not far behind said building was the Mountain of Mariejoa, whose top vanished beyond the sky. Did I mention the island was placed on a giant whirlpool?

Eldwin Savinsky stood on the balcony to enjoy the day, happily eating a pie. He closed his eyes for a few seconds while chewing a piece. "Hmm?" He heard something and looked up. Pshhooooooooo... A firework launched from the clear sky, no source whatsoever. The projectile was small and it exploded a few yards from the balcony, making the word Hi!

A piece from the cracker flew into Eldwin's mouth. "Ulp, ueck, eck!" He choked. "Paper in my throat! Lucci, paper alert!" The top assassin nonchalantly approached, picked Eldwin up, and squeezed his belly to shoot the confetti out. "Alright, WHO'S THE WISE GUY?!" Eldwin's voice roared across the island.

No one responded. They were as confused as he was. Then the sounds of engines became distinguishable. Karin Uzumaki aimed to the south in a panic. "THEY'RE HERE!"

A small fleet of KND ships arrived at the front of the island without detection, for their fronts were painted blue and white like the sky and clouds. "True artistry is supreme!" April Goldenweek held her blue paintbrush with pride in her work. "Now's our chance to jump them!"

"They're shooting at us!" Aurora yelled. "Remember the plan! Kids Next Door, BATTLE STATIONS! Meloetta, give us music!"

"Aye, Sir!" Meloetta was dark-red and styled her hair like Ruby Rose. "Cuatro, tres, dos, HIT IT!" (Play "This Will Be the Day" from RWBY!)

Stage 66: Enies Lobby

Mission: Defeat CP10 and find the Poneglyph!

Act 1

Cannons fired at the ships, but Kodama launched storms of fireworks to counter their fire as the operatives landed on the base of the island. Teen Ninjas sped out on bikes and flew with rockets. Anthony stomped rock barriers to make the bikes crash while Fybi created clouds in the sky to strike lightning at the airborne teens. "WHAT?! ?" Eldwin screamed while a pie piece was still in his mouth. "These snot-nosed punks are attacking us already?!"

"You want us to dispose of them, Leader?" Rob Lucci asked.

"Easy, Lucci. We're more than prepared to handle this many twerps. And if not, I'm ready to start dropping a few prisoners! For now," Eldwin grabbed a megaphone, "ATTENTION ALL TROOPS! Hold back the Kids Next Door at all costs!

"If you see Maddy Murphy or ANY of the Seven Lights, kill them on the spot!"

"Oh, you are just BEGGING for me!" Sheila punched her palms.

"Not yet, Sheila!" Carol yelled, checking her blueprints. "Our priority is getting Maddy to the Poneglyph. We need to breach their defenses before sending either of you out there. The first major obstacle is the Gates of Protection!"
