Chapter 7: Crane

Scrap and Kru walked the hut that seemed miles away. Kru and Scrap had stayed in the village for a day now. Crane was told of there presence and requested them at once. Scrap and Kru were lead by a young steef, about 18 years old. Scrap was exited that He was going to meet Crane, but at the same time, he wanted to go home. He missed Bud, he missed his home, but most of all he missed his parents. He wondered where he would live. He didn't want to stay with Skum, and Kru wasn't about to raise him. He was scared at the fact that he was an orphan now. What was he to do? He saw people living in small cabins. Families that had children they cared for. Now he was alone. No family, only Kru. He thought deeply about his situation, and Kru tapped him on his shoulder. Kru then said, "We have arrived at Crane's hut." Scrap looked up and he was shocked. In front of him was not a hut, but a huge mansion.
"Come." said Kru as he walked up the staircase that lead to the door. Kru had become more serios in the time they were there. It was like somthing was missing. He shrugged it off and went to Kru. "The last time I came through these doors, I was a mere boy. Alot has changed while I've been gone." Kru mummered. "Where have you been all of your life?" Scrap blurted out. "I've been.......... I'll tell you when the time is right.". Scrap and Kru walked next to the door and knocked on it. A young steef came out and led them in. The steef said nothing and led them to a big room with chair in the back. An old steef was sitting in the chair. "Hello young steef." said the steef in the chair. Scrap was surprised, as he didn't make a sound as he walked in. Scrap mummered, "Hello. Who are you?" The steef responded in a raspy voice,"Do you have no respect? I am the head of this village. I see you met Kru. Ahhhhh....... I remember when he was a young steef like you. How old are you, and why have you come?" Scrap then said, "I am 14 years old, sir. How old are you?" Crane said "I am 146 years old, but it does not matter." Scrap was surprised to hear he was so old. The normal life spand of a steef was........forever, but they could be killed. Crane stood up from his chair and walked toward Scrap.
As he came out of the shadows, he didn't look a day over 30. "Why do you look so young?" Scrap asked quizically. "Time does not affect steefs in this part of oddworld. Scrap was suddenly struck with questions. There were many things he didn't know about steefs. He always wondered why his parents looked so young. "Why have you brought me here?" Scrapo said to Kru. Kru answered with, "You must stay here and when you are rested, you can return the key to Skum. Meanwhile, we must talk with Crane, for he will tell you many things of your powers and your history." Scrap stared at Kru with wide eyes. He knew of his powers, but he was worried if he was a freak. Suddenly, Crane said "Skum...... He is a fowl one. He has caused our race great pain." Scrap responded with "What! He gave me shelter and was a kind being! He.....he..." Scrap's voice trailed off. "You don't know much, Scrap. Bud knew, but didn't tell you, because he feared you would be scared, and he wanted to wait untill you got far from the village." Crane said to Scrap. He was scared. "If this is true, what is the key for?" Crane looked at Scrap and said, "This key is for opening a gate. The gate lies on a far island. You must go to the island, open the gate."
Scrap was shocked at the proposal. "We'll sleep on it." Kru said before Scrap had a chance to speak. "You may sleep in my mansion. I hope you like your room. You will stay in it untill it is time." said Crane. Scrap wondered what he ment, but was too tierd to ask. Kru stayed and talked with Crane more. As Scrap turned around, someone was at the door. It was the most beautiful steef he had ever seen. "Hello." she said. He heard Crane say, "Ahhh. It is my daughter, Krystal. How are you?" Scrap was in shock. He ignored Crane and said "Hello." in a low voice. She ignored him and went to her father. Scrap turned around and saw Crane with his daughter. He remembered when he played with his mother. She looked abou 20 years old. He said goodnight, and walked to his room thinking about her. After a few minutes, he realized something. He had to go to some oddforsaken island, probably a 1,000,000 miles away! Was he going to spend his life traveling, loosing friends and making new ones? He ran back to the room Crane was in. "Why do I have to do this!! Why me!!" Scrap's heart was beating fast. "Be com, young one." said Crane. "Why should I!" snapped Scrap. "Because....... It is your destiny."

[Cullen Heath]

I really like the idea of longer chapters........ but not the idea of 2 or 3 times a week. Im sorry im naggin, I just love you story! It really is brilliant!

[xx_xx_0dd]

Sorry I haven't posted in a while.Okay, I won't stall. I'll get down to the point. Chapter 8 will be LONG. It will also serve a long time in the story. I'll say it'll be more than a few years. Due to the length, I will split the chapter into 2 parts. Thank you for your cooperation.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 8: Training (Pt. 1)

Scrap had a smirk on his face. He let out a small chuckle. "Are you trying to say I have a destiny?" he laughed, "Like those old legends? I can't beleive that. King and Queen I can, but that? No." Crane looked at Scrap with a serious expression on his cold face. "This is no joke, and you should not take it as one. I'm sorry, but I can't tell you now. All in the morning. I'll see you tomorow. Go, now." Scrap thought about Cranes rudness. He decided that Crane knew much, so he would play along. "I shall see you tomorrow too." said Scrap. He left for the night, and went to sleep. Late in the night, Scrap heard a sound. It was a horn. The horn was loud and it made a screeching sound that made Scrap shiver. He looked around, and it was pitch black. He didn't have trouble seeing. He could see very well in the dark. He found the door he used to go in, and went into the hall. He saw a small opening in the wall, witch he assumed was a window. He looked out and saw someone. It was an old steef, a few inches taller then Scrap. He saw the steef's eyes, witch were orange. The steef had a strong glare at Scrap. He was worried. What if he was evil? What if he was good? He ran down the hall to look for Crane. He found Crane in a room, laying down. "Crane! There's an old steef outside the palace!" Crane was still. "Crane? Crane? Crane!" He lay still, dispite Scrap's yelling. Just hen, Crane's daughter came in the room. "Wha happen?" She said. Scrap knew she was tierd. "He's--h-h-he's dead." said Scrap in a low voice. Even though Scrap did not know Crane well, he was still very sad. He would not get the answer's he desired. "What is your name?" asked Scrap, trying to cheer her up. It didn't work. "M-m-m-my name is Rose........" Her voice trailed off.
As rose was crying over her father, Scrap remembered the old steef. "Was it him?" he said to himself. Kru walked in. He looked beat up. "What happened?" said Scrap.
Kru looked at Scrap. He looked mad. He said, "I'll tell you later. We have to get out of here." Scrap nodded. He looked around. "Who is the man outside?" asked Scrap. "That is Commander Spark. He will help us outta here. We need to go. Take Rose. Go get some clothes, and any thing you want. We won't be coming back." Right after Kru finished taking, Scrap heard a sound. "Fire the boulders!" said a voice outside. "We need to go now!" said Kru. So, Scrap, Kru, and Rose went dont outside. "Run through the village! we'll meet at the gate!" said kru, running away from Scrap. Scrap and Rose ran through the village. There was war. Many steefs were trying to protect there village. Scrap saw theese creatures, that looked like Mudokons and steefs mixed. He saw many die, and others captured. He was near the end of the village, and he saw the gate. He saw Rose and Kru. Spark was waiting for them. "Aye! what took ya so long? We'd best be going." Scrap listened to him. They left the gate and ran down to the dark forest. "There she is!" said Spark as they came to a large shore. Scrap saw a boat docked on shore. "Put your things in. We will leave as soon as possible." Scrap and Rose nodded and went onto the ship.
"Tell me again, how you knew my father." Said Scrap in a deep voice. "Aye. He was my partner in the open sea." Said Spark. It had been 5 years since he first met Spark. Him, Kru, and Rose had been sailing since then. They had been in many cities, they had seen many sites, and Scrap coulden't be happier. The month he spent with Bud and Kru was the worst of his life. He had learned some of the truth about his powers. He learned that he was a desendant to the King. He had the powers of a god, as his grandfather had. He had learned about Skum, how he was bad. Skum was now the King, Scrap's rightful place. He was annoyed to learn that Bud knew this, but made no attempt to stop him. He knew that the mission to the mudokon village was to get him killed. Scrap had lived on the large ship for 5 years. Him, Kru, Rose, and Spark lived as bandits. Skum had made him the most wanted criminal in oddworld. He was annoyed that his whole life had been destroyed in a few weeks, but he learned to live with it. He still wondered 3 things. Why did he have these powers, what was that key for, and what was that old writing in the mudokon village?
Over the five years he lived on the ship, he viseted over 16 cities. He was trained by Kru on the ship. He was trained with a sword, with guns, with other things to. Since Scrap was so thin, he made a perfect ninja. The only thing that gave him away was his feet. Every day he wondered, "Am I going to live like this for the rest of my life?" That question rolled in his head. He learned many legends about his family, and he learned many things about history and culture. It was dawn. Scrap was sleeping in his cabin when he heard a scream. "What happened?" said Scrap, as he awoke. He ran outside of the cabin and saw a hole in the ship. "We need to get off the ship!" said Spark. He took a life boat and put some supplies in it. Scrap saw Kru helping. "Go get Rose!" he yelled. Scrap nodded and ran to Rose's cabin. She was sleeping. Scrap picked her up and carryed her to the boat. Rose never talked much. He put her in and helped to put supplies in. Everyone was in the boat and they rowed to the small shore. Scrap looked back at the ship. It sank within seconds. He rowed on, struggeling. He was sad thaty the boat was gone, but he was happy to get off of it. They were about a 1/2 a mile from shore. About 6 miles along the shore was a city. They could go to the city. The one thing Scrap wondered was, who shot their ship?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[Cullen Heath]

Nice! It is very good! Its getting to the point where Im wondering just as much as Scrap is. Keep up the good work!

[xx_xx_0dd]

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I'll post a chapter tomorrow, probably. I won't post Chap. 10 until wen-thur next week. I'm going away for the holidays.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 8: Training (Part 2)

Scrap looked at the smoke trail that the shot came from. He moved his finger along it, following it to it's launch point, and saw anther ship. "There!" he said. "The missiles came from that ship!" Kru and Spark looked and nodded. "Aye. I know that ship. It be one of Skum's warship's, it be." Scrap looked as Spark talked on. "Look! Another one!" said scrap, pointing to the incoming missile. "GET DOWN!" yelled Kru. BOOM. The rocket hit the side of the boat with a slap. "Ahhh......." mummered scrap, as he looked at his side. It was bleeding like crazy. There was a chunk of wood lodged in him about 4 inches on his right side. "Scrap." said Spark, looking at hin. The missile had cut the boat in half, seperating them. He looked around and saw Rose by his side. Kru and Spark were ont the other half of the broken boat. Kru and Spark were drifting toward the city, while Scrap and Rose were going into the open sea. "Scrap...." said Rose, looking at him. He felt cold as he saw Spark and Kru turn into a little dot, miles away. Scrap looked at Rose again, then he closed his eyes. He was in shock at what happened, and he fell asleep, on the half of a boat, drifting away, on the open sea.
Scrap started to remember things that happened over the past few years. He remembered his training as a swordsman. His master was the one known as Sene. He was with him for 4 months, endlessley learning the arts of the sword. He struggled to learn, but in the end, he learned it all. He then went to Master Suna. She tought him about writing and grammer. She gave him a paper, so he could translate things into his language. He also went to the master of magic. He learned to lift things with ihs mind, to read minds, and to do many things. He went to Sir Crum, the warrior that tought him to use his surroundings to his advantage. All of these people opposed Skum and his evil empire. He liked them for it, and he wanted them to go with him. They all said no, and he left. He left with alot of abilities under his belt. He remembered all of these people. He awoke in the wrecked boat, looking around. It was pitch black.
He saw Rose laying down, asleep. He felt the pain in his side, and saw it was stitched up. He looked at the wreck and saw his sword, langauge book, his gun, his coat, and his pack, witch had some food, eater, and a map and compass. He got up and saw sand and a small rock. "Land?" he said to himself. He looked around and they looked like they were alone. He looked up and, looking at the moon, he decided he was sleeping for atleast 8 hours. He looked at Rose and saw her laying. He picked her up, and bought her to a tree. He layed her down next to it and put his coat on her. He got his pack and other things. He put all but his sword in the pack, witch wayed about 4 pounds, very light. He put it next to the tree trunk and decided that rose stitched him up. He shoved the scraps of wood into the water, careful not to let any one know the boat crashed. He lay his sword across his lap as he sat down next to the trunk of the tree. He sat stone cold, waiting for Rose to get up. He was going to protect her, no matter what.

[Cullen Heath]

Wooooooooohhhhhoooooooooo
I like it! I guess you got my private message???
Well anywho, it was great. Im anxious to read more!

Here is the next chapter:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 9: Finding a Crew

"Who's there!" said Scrap, looking around. It was dawn, and Rose wasn't awake. "Show yourself!" He said louder, and he saw something pop out of the tree. The thing looked scared. It was still and sort of crying. Scrap pointed his sword at it. It was a small blue mudokin. "Wadda you want?" said Scrap, annoyed. "I....Sir, I saw you sleeping here." the mudokin trembled at the size of Scrap. " I thought you might need some help. My house is 2 miles from here. You may come, if you like." Scrap pointed his sword away. "You gotta town nearby?" The mudokin looked at him. "Tis' about 18 miles from my house. We shoulden't go cause' the guards said there is an animal loose. He looks a little bit like you." Scrap thought it might be Kru. What if it wasn't. He did sail far away. Scrap was willing to take a chance. "Oh, and the town is on an island. I have a boat to get there." Scrap was now sure it was Kru, but what if the town was a place that Skum ruled? "Who lives with you?"asked Scrap. "My grandmother and my brother." Scrap nodded. He agreed to go with the boy. "Here. Have the map." Scrap took the map to the town and put it in his bag. "What is your name?" asked Scrap. "My name is--" Scrap looked at him. He had an arrow through his head. He dropped dead, his mouth fozen in the letter S. "No." said Scrap. He looked and saw another mudokin, but his skin was darker. "No more." the mudokin had 9 men behind him. "We've come to take you to prison. You have tried to destroy a pratrol ship. Get down." Scrap looked at the mudokin. "No more running." Scrap was about to explode. "AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!" He charged at the lead mudokin. He punched him right in the face. He heard a crack, and the mudokin droped dead.
"Who else?" said Scrap angrily. No reply. "I'll take all of ya out then!" An evil grin formed on Scrap's face. He punched one in the groin. 2 down. He kicke one in the face. 3 down. He pick up one and threw him at another. 5 down. The others had guns out. Scrap went to the trunk and woke Rose up. "Go! Run. Follow this map and take these bags. I'll catch up." She nodded and ran down the road. He grabbed his sword and went to kill the five mudokins. They fired at him, but he dodged every bullet with his animal reflexes. He sliced off the legs of 2 and stabbed 1. 8 down. He stabbed mudokin number 8 with a fast jab. He raised his sword high over the last one and with a big SWOOSH he took his head off and his body dropped. He was sweatin, and he put his sword in it's sheath. He sat at the trunk of the tree and took a rest for a few minutes. He got up and walked to the road. He walked down ther road for hours.
After 4 or so hours, Scrap reached a house. The house was big and it had several houses around the area. He went to the house and knocked on the door. An old mudokin opened the door. "Welcome." she said. Scrap walked in and saw Rose. "Hi. This lady welcomed me in. She asked me if I knew where her grandson is. Do you?" Scrap hesitated for a moment. He didn't want to be the person to tell her her grandson was dead. "Your grandson..................is dead." The mudokin had tears coming from her eyes. "What?" asked the old lady. "Well, I soppose he got what was coming to him." Scrap saw she was just pretending to be fine with it. Trying to change the subject, SCrap asked, "Do you know anyone who can sail around here? I need someone to take me to the island town. "Go ask around in the village. Lots of sailors live around here." the mudikin lead Rose and Scrap out. "Goodbye." she said. Scrap an Rose walked to a house and knocked on the door.

[Cullen Heath]

[Icarus]

[Cullen Heath]

Fine! Make us wait longer!

But seriously, I really want to hear more.

[xx_xx_0dd]

New chapter. Been really busy lately.

Chapter 9: Finding a Crew

First they were scared when they walked into the bar. Scrap and Rose tried 3 houses already and there were no sailors. They figured that sailors would be in a bar or something. As they walked in, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at them. Scrap heard some low mumbles, and then someone spoke up. "Wudda you want 'round here?" Said the bartender. Scrap quickly replied, "We're looking for a sailor or a sailing crew. We need to get to the town." The bartender looked at him and pointed to a table. On the table were 6 people. Scrap and Rose walked over and nodded. The biggest one at the table said, "What?" Scrap replied, "We're looking for a sailor. Are you one?" The man looked at his men. They looked tierd. "You come back here tomorrow morning and we'll talk. My name is Captian Kuup." With that, Scrap and Rose left the bar and walked to a 2 story house. It was an inn, and the owner let them sleep there. They fell asleep.
As Scrap and Rose left, the Captian thought. Scrap, Rose, and everyone else did not know this, but Captian Kuup worked for Skum. Skum had a big government system that ruled the land. He had every thing from sailors and merchants that worked for him. Kuup was Skum's right-hand man. He was probably the only one who knew. The steef in town, that's why they want to go there. They don't know he ratted them out. He saw there pictures somewhere and recognized them. Scrap and rose. He was tierd too, so he want to his ship and his men came with him. He fell asleep and awoke early in the morning. He woke his men and started towards the bar, grinning as he walked.
He got to the bar and sat at his seat. The bar was also an eating establishment, so he had breakfast. He waited for Scrap and Rose to come. The came about an hour after he got there. "So, can you take us to the town?" Scrap asked. "Why, of course. We can leave tonight. About the cost. It will cost you 150 coins for the ride." Kuup said. Scrap nodded. "We can pay you when we get there." Scrap said. He was not going to pay him. Scrap wasn't stupid and decided to make a run for it once the hit land. So, that night, Scrap and Rose went to the dock. They stepped on the boat and sat down in the cabin under deck. It was a cold night, and Scrap held Rose tightly.

[Slig outlaw]

That is a kickass story xx xx odd.

[Cullen Heath]

Cool, you came back!
Getting better and better by the chapter, keep it up!

[Dancing Steef]

Wow it's getting real intense xx_xx_odd! sorry for not replying, I've been busy looking forward to read more of yer story

[xx_xx_0dd]

I've been thinking. Not alot of action has happened to my character. In the next chapter, I'll have some action. I'm doing the chapters in Microsoft Word now. So, It will be up soon. I got to finish editing it.

[Cullen Heath]

I'm looking forward to it.

You know what's awesome? The 3 of us are the only ones that ever reply to this thread. I like how there is not as much going on, just a few people. Its kinda a bummer though, cause not that many people get to read this awesome fanfic.

[xx_xx_0dd]

I'm in a hurry, and I got a new idea for the chapter, so I split it into two. I'll Post the next part later.

Chapter 9: Set Sail to the Unknown (Pt. 1)

Scrap walked up to the deck. Rose was still asleep, down stair, in the cabin. The captian and them had been sailing for 2 days now. "When are we going to get to the town?" Scrap asked quietly. "W'ell get there in about, 3 days." The captian replied. "3 days! that long!? We need to get there sooner the that!" The captian listened to Scrap yell, then he coulden't take it any more. He nodded, and his men came and grabed Scrap on his arms. Scrap yelled. He wasn't strong enough to break free. "Aarrgg!" He screamed. He saw a sword on the floor. He was wondering why it was there, but he broke free from the sailor's strong grips and grabbed it anyway. He held it up and pointed it at the sailors. "Don't move." He said. The captian pulled out his sword and held it up. The looked into each others eyes. They ran towards each other and yelled. A fight was going to begin.

[Dancing Steef]

Ooooh nice exciting, looking forward to the next bit

[xx_xx_0dd]

I haven't been on in a while. The people who used to read this probably already lost intrist in it. Here is the whole chapter. I'll be updating more often, if anyone want's to read it.

Chapter 9: Set Sail to the Unknown
Scrap walked up to the deck. Rose was still asleep, down stair, in the cabin. The captian and them had been sailing for 2 days now. "When are we going to get to the town?" Scrap asked quietly. "W'ell get there in about, 3 days." The captian replied. "3 days! that long!? We need to get there sooner the that!" The captian listened to Scrap yell, then he coulden't take it any more. He nodded, and his men came and grabed Scrap on his arms. Scrap yelled. He wasn't strong enough to break free. "Aarrgg!" He screamed. He saw a sword on the floor. He was wondering why it was there, but he broke free from the sailor's strong grips and grabbed it anyway. He held it up and pointed it at the sailors. "Don't move." He said. The captian pulled out his sword and held it up. The looked into each others eyes. They ran towards each other and yelled. A fight was going to begin.
Scrap ran and saw the grin on the captians face. "Time to die!" He screamed as he jumped and charged at Scrap. There swords met and made a spark. Scrap thought quickly and kicked the captian's leg. "AAAHHHH!" The captian screamed. Kuup fell and kept yelling for his men's help. Scrap was too fast, though. He slashed one sailor and stabbed the other. Soon, he was done with all the sailors. By the time he turned, the captian got up and was charging at Scrap, sword ready. Kuup slashed Scrap in the chest. Kuup lauged, and Scrap saw an opening. He swung his sword at the right side of the captian's neck. The captian was not stupid, and so he quickly ducked nad swung his sword. All he hit was air, because Scrap was now behind him. Scrap raised his sword and stabbed down at the captians neck. Scrap heard a rip, then blood hitting the deck. He closed his eyes and lifted his sword up. Captian Kuup's body hit the wooden deck with a thump.
As Scrap would have guessed, all the noise would have woken Rose up. "Don't look." He said as he heard he footsteps coming up from the cabin. Scrap heard a snicker, then a laugh. He got his sword ready. Scrap saw three sailors holding Roses slumped body up. He saw her eyes, and she looked tierd. Her eyes closed, and she fell on the floor. "She's not dead." The sailors said. "She's been poisened and she will die, in 24 hours. Only we have the antidote, in a safe, in the captian's cabin. Too bad you won't live to see her die." The sailor ran toward Scrap and Scraped screamed. He cut off the first sailor's head and slashed one of the others. He grabbed the last one and held him against the wall.
"What's the combonation!" He yelled. "Okay...Okay.. It's 54, 56, 88." The sailor stammered. "Are there any more sailors on the ship?" Scrap asked. "Yes. Two more." The sailor said. He then killed the sailor and and went to pick up Rose. He looked for the captian's cabin. He found it, and no sailors. He opend the door and looked around. No safe. He checked under the bed and found it. He put in the combonation and the door to the safe flung open.

[Cullen Heath]

No, we would NEVER lose interest in this great old story!
I was just waiting for the day that you would come back!

Well done on the new chapter, I love it and can't wait for more!
