lucetilogs | EVENT LOG: ON TODAY'S EPISODE...

[Anyone unlucky enough to find themselves close to Captain Barbossa these four days will most likely find themselves to be one of the many targets he sets his sights on - if they happen to be carrying something valuable.

Because Barbossa is suddenly feeling especially greedy - yes, he's full on stereotypically selfish pirate captain these days out of nowhere and will be instantly compelled by an irresistable urge to rob everyone of their possessions, and no matter how big or small the threat is, he will fight them, along with his equally greedy monkey Jack who will do his best to assist in the endeavor. Also, regardless of the desired item's actual worth or use to him, he'll still want to steal it for no apparent reason at all. It could even be something they've just gotten from an item or clothes for free, an item that he can procure just as easily himself - but he won't care. Pillage and plunder is more fun anyway.

One may encounter the man pretty much anywhere in the village, for he'll certainly want to double check all areas of Luceti and see whether there's something valuable that he somehow failed to notice, and he'll want to steal it as well.]

[He's just left the item shop, and he's playing with his newly acquired scouter. He hasn't had one of these in years, and although he doesn't really need it he picked it up out of nostalgia and wearing it on his ear. The language it's reading in right now is clearly Saiyan, and not anything anyone could read but him, the strange symbols coming up on the glass. Who knew he could get one of these in Luceti. It's certainly useful for anyone who can't sense power levels, if they could even read it to begin with.]

[Ah! Would you look at that - a scouter! A device that measured power levels! That was obviously something a pirate like Barbossa was in desperate need of and would want to commandeer to help him with his... ship-to-ship battles? Swordfights? Treasure hunts? Anti-curse mechanism? Um...

Whatever that thing on his ear was, the old pirate's prying eyes immediately took notice of it as soon as they saw Vegeta walking next to the item shop, and he was instantly compelled by a sudden, insatiable greed to make it his for some reason. That thing belonged to his own ear - and what sorry excuse for a pirate would he be if he didn't try to steal it as soon as he saw it!

So that was why Barbossa found himself standing at the end of the street Vegeta was now walking on, his hand on the hilt of his sword and a threatening look in his eyes, as well as his monkey Jack's own, who was still sitting on his shoulder, a dangerous glint in his gaze too.]

Arrr! Prince Vegeta! We meet again! [He took out his sword and pointed it towards the Saiyan, his body now in an unmistakable battle stance.] Ye got away with it last time we spoke, but now ye're gonna be feedin' the fish, mate! [He pointed towards the scouter in his ear.] ...Unless, of course, ye'd be so kind as to hand me that thing in yer ear that ye've got there, hmm? I believe it shall make for a nice addition in me collection of treasures! Perhaps that shall change me mind. [Being a pirate, of course it wouldn't.]

[He saw Barbossa stroll up to the end of his path, figuring that the old pirate was just going to greet him as normal irritating residents of Luceti often do. Needless to say this greeting was rather unexpected for the Prince, his eyes widening a little in a slight shock. Did...he just threaten him? He can't be serious? Doesn't he know who he's dealing with?]

So we are, aren't we? Though tell me, because I'm a little confused- who do you think you are to be telling me what to do? Besides this? [His hand goes and covers the side of the scouter on his ear.] You wouldn't be able to use it anyway, it doesn't even read in a language you earthlings understand. So why don't you and your monkey head back to the zoo where you belong. Or do they not have those on the open sea either?

[Ordinarily Barbossa would be smarter than to threaten the ridiculously powerful Saiyan, especially in such a conspicuous manner, but today with everyone else going crazy, the poor captain was also noticeably affected, brought down to the level of the most stereotypical, exaggerated random pirate ever, who also happened to be clearly stupid, of course.

In other words, yes. He was dead serious. And after a few more minutes he was probably going to be simply dead.]

I'm tryin' to be reasonable here, is that not clear to ye? [A long, villainous cackle followed as Barbossa threw his head back dramatically, his body forcefully jerking from the laughter.] Right now, Prince Vegeta, I'm generously givin' ye a way out, ye see, a deal, ye could say. [There was an actual, blatant glint in his eyes now, an overly menacing one, which was in... clear support of his words, yes? His head nodded towards the scouter once again.] Give me that and, in exchange, I shall sheathe me sword, aye? [It should probably be noted that he didn't mention anything about killing the man through other means.]

[Barbossa then shook his head, once more probably harder than what would've been natural.] Save yer petty insults and concern yerself not with what me plans are for the treasures I acquire, for I foresee that this gem right there shall bring me unimaginable fortune when traded with the right folk. [Not that he had an idea of what it actually was yet.]

Giving me a way out? Do you really think that tiny little toy of yours is going to be enough to stop me? [He cackles- Barbossa doesn't scare him in the slightest bit. If he wanted the scouter...]

Then come and take it. [His hands set into fists at his side, head angled down slightly with a wicked smile folding across his features.] What I don't understand is why you're throwing away your life for nothing. [He shrugs his shoulders nonchalantly.] But oh well. If that's how you want to play it.

I'll have ye know that this "little toy" happened to be Blackbeard's very own broadsword, the bloody scourge of the seven seas, before I took it for meself! [Yes, that was correct, but how much was the Sword of Triton going to do against Vegeta? What difference did it make, really?] And now, with this thing ye got there in me possession and the Sword of Triton, I shall be unstoppable! The seas shall bow before me inevitable rule! [Of course, he did know that going back to his world would've meant that he would lose possession of the scouter?... Right?...

Of course not.]

That I shall, Prince Vegeta! [As he said that, his free hand reached out for his belt and grasped an odd-looking, round object that he tossed at the ground. In seconds, the area around them was filled with smoke from what turned out to be a smoke bomb Barbossa doubtlessly stole from the item shop before. At the same time, Jack leaped off from his shoulder in an attempt to use the continuously thickening smoke screen to get round Vegeta and attack him from behind. As for Barbossa himself, his silhouette menacingly disappeared in the smoke, dramatic music playing as he did.]

What's this? [The smoke itself was irritating as it was, but where was this sudden music coming from?! His hand immediately goes up onto the scouter on his ear, gritting his teeth angrily as he looked around for any sign of the duo. But the smoke is too thick- he can't see anything. That pirate, he'd pay for this. It wasn't even that he cared about the scouter really, but threatening his life, that was not something he'd stand there and take.]

Why don't you come out and face me! Coward!

[The smoke sure was one of Barbossa's best bets in his assault as he wanted to confuse the Saiyan, but it was more or less there to add to the dramatic element, otherwise he knew (well, thought) that one shot of his pistol would be enough to kill the whelp. Humiliation was what all pirates wanted to wreak upon their enemies, however, and they also relished in bringing themselves some amusement as they slaughtered them in an unmistakably stylish, piratey fashion. And that did involve the music blasting, yes. Like it?

In a few seconds, Vegeta would begin feel an additional weight on his back - that of Jack's as the monkey jumped from behind. The thievish animal would then attempt to climb onto the tall Saiyan, thinking of pulling his long, gravity-defying hair in an effort to irritate and distract him as much as possible.

On top of that, Vegeta would be faced with a series of bullets coming from right in front of him, their trajectory somehow spot on even though Barbossa was blinded by the same smoke. Perhaps it was that hair that gave away the Saiyan's position. Surely there was nothing that could stop this perfect tactic, right?]

[He feels the monkey jump onto his back, causing a great deal of anger to spurt out of nowhere. All this over this piece of junk he's wearing on his ear right now. He reaches back in an attempt to try to grab Jack and throw him off of his back-] You disgusting creature, get off of me-! [and he's letting go of the scouter now. He officially did not care what happened to it at this point. If the monkey manages to grab it then so be it, but he'll make sure to kill the both of them when he's done.]

[He hears the gun go off, but thankfully for Vegeta Saiyans are tough enough that they can get shot several times without hardly any injury when shot and the bullets hit their mark, causing the Prince to cry out more in shock than in pain.]

How dare you! Shooting at the Prince of Saiyans, have you lost your mind completely?! [He did not get the impression from meeting Barbossa the first time that he'd go this far. Didn't he say something about drawing the line somewhere about killing people?]

[Luke's walking down the street with Ami...when he spots someone leering from an alleyway off to one side. With a smile he tells his beautiful, pregnant girlfriend that he's forgotten something and he'll catch up. Once she's out of sight, he whirls on the man with a dark glower in his eyes.

Barbossa, normally he'd just give you a look right back, but for whatever reason he's feeling more than a little jealous. And he doesn't really care about getting into a fight.]

Excuse me. That's my girlfriend. I'd thank you to stop undressing her with your eyes.

[Just when Barbossa had been enjoying the sight of the girl walking alongside that irritable fellow, who was certainly undeserving of her if he was anything more than a mere acquaintance of hers, the man had whispered something in her ear that had made her disappear. And that was something that did not sit well with our suddenly and insatiably selfish, greedy pirate captain.

It had been a long while since the old man had had any pleasurable company, and right now, especially he was feeling this greedy, the thought of stealing Ami away had certainly crossed his mind. More than that, really; once he had laid his eyes on her today, Barbossa had deemed it impossible for him to leave the premises without her at his side.

A look of annoyance showed up on his feature in response to the man's threat, which immediately elicited a draw of his sword while the monkey on his shoulder hissed evilly.]

Arrr! Yer lass she may be now, pretty boy, but she shall be yers no longer when I'm done with ye! Then it won't be just me eyes that would undress her, aye? [He also took notice of a strange hilt that the man had on his belt. Barbossa hadn't seen a lightsaber before in his life so he couldn't possibly know what that was, but for some reason his urge to steal everything and anything compelled him to nab it as well.] Say yer farewells to that thing ye got there on yer collar as well, lad, for it shall also be mine when ye find yerself searchin' for yer head!

Edited 2013-04-27 18:52 (UTC)

[The draw of the blade gets an immediate response from Luke, the hilt of his lightsaber flying to his hand from his belt. He didn't ignite the weapon yet, just set himself into a traditional Ataru stance, ready to strike.

However, his eyes flashed with heat, anger swelling at the thought of another man touching the woman carrying his child.]

This is your last chance to apologize, whoever you are. Don't make me destroy you.

Destroy me, ye say? I be Captain Barbossa of the Queen Anne's Revenge, boy! [Now that Barbossa just couldn't help but guffaw loudly to, suddenly feeling exceedingly amused and even more evil than before.] I'd end ya right now, but first, I can't help but be curious, so shall ye indulge me as to how exactly ye plan to do that, hmm? Surely ye can't be thinkin' to do it with that?

[He nodded towards the hilt Luke now had in his hand. Yes, Barbossa didn't suspect it to be anything particularly threatening to him (the hilt certainly didn't have a menacing look to it when it wasn't activated) but he still wanted to steal it just the same for whatever reason. His monkey Jack appeared as if he was preparing to leap off from his master's shoulder in the meantime, responding to Luke's lightsaber form with his own little battle stance.]

Edited 2013-04-27 20:26 (UTC)

[Wordlessly, Luke ignited the blade, a shimmering green weapon springing to life with a distinctive hiss. The air around him thrummed with energy as he twirled it once, ready for the attack. A sword? Just...a sword? Surely the man couldn't be that stupid.]

Last chance.

[Oh, normally he wasn't, but today, the pirate captain certainly overestimated his capabilities so the ignition of Luke's saber was met with a brief furrowing of Barbossa's brows followed by yet another loud cackle on his part. Though at least now he could recognize the hilt as a means for Luke to fight him.]

Last chance for ye to surrender yer weapon and yer lass to me, perhaps! [He performed a little swing of his own broadsword.] I'm not afraid of that light stick ye got there no matter how pretentiously ye brandish it at me.

[That display apparently didn't deter the man at all, thinking that he got enough tricks up his sleeve to fight Luke off.]

[Luke sets his jaw and waits. Hopefully the man will back down, but he's not about to.]

Have it yer way, boy!

[And with that, Barbossa would begin a rush towards his lightsaber wielding foe, about to attempt to take a determined swing with his broadsword. At the same time, Jack would leap off and try to confuse Luke in any way possible by first attempting to relentlessly tug on his clothes.]

[The strike is met simply, a smooth powerful motion on Luke's part. Soundlessly, the lightsaber cleaves straight through Barbossa's metal sword as it would anything else. His battle focus let him ignore the annoying monkey. But that monkey was pretty irritating and he debates flicking it away...]

What in bloody blazes--

[The pirate captain stood completely aghast as he looked at his torn sword with his eyes full of shock and awe, an outcome he clearly hadn't included into his calculations before charging Luke's way. His fighter had more tricks up his sleeve than he thought.

Thankfully, his sword wasn't the only weapon he had in his arsenal. Smoke soon filled the area as he dropped a smoke bomb he had taken from the item shop, and then, he prepared his pistol, taking it form his belt and grabbing it in his hand, a finger ready on the trigger already. He backed away while the monkey began attempting to climb Luke's clothes and steal his light stick, actually thinking that he could get away with such a theft.

There was no way Luke could find Barbossa in the thick smoke, yes?... He should've been the one terrified right now, no?... It was not like he had some sort of magical force that could somehow help him discover Barbossa's position or anything like that!]

[Except...Luke very much does have that Force. He casually flicks the monkey aside with magical mind powers, sending it skittering safely clear to be unharmed.

And then he tosses his weapon at Barbossa's position, a spinning green circle of death whipping through the smoke towards the pirate...]

[...Which, much to the captain's surprise, easily discovered him among the fog that had just about consumed this part of the village and went straight through his chest, cutting through the wings on his back as well, which caused him endless pain as he gave out a loud scream of agony. With his eyes as wide as they could be, Barbossa fell down on his knees with an angered look on his face that he directed towards the only silhouette he could see through the thick smoke.]

Ye... will pay for this, boy!

[At the time of him saying so, he had no idea how Luke was gonna do that, but it seemed like a fitting enough death line for an old pirate like him to say anyway.

And with that, he collapsed on the ground, his feeble, dying hand releasing its grasp on his broadsword, or what was left of it, rather.

A terrified Jack ran up to his master's corpse and desperately tried to get him to stand up or show any signs of life, but to no avail. The pirate was utterly defeated, with neither Luke's girlfriend nor his lightsaber in his possession.

Or was he...?]

[Silently, Luke resheathed his weapon with a click. No point in saying anything. He'd dealt with the man and Ami was safe. The Malnosso could deal with the corpse.]
