The Pirates Known As The Black Skulls - Open To Sesame

Sesame had been a hunt for Taiko for some time. Since their first encounter, he wanted to make sure he was not doing anything bad. He was sitting in a bar this time talking with a man who thought he had seen the man he was talking about. He held the man by his coat. The waiter had apparently was going to serve Taiko. Something along those lines. There had been some sort of fight. He'd drop the waiter. He was not going to play games. He assumed Taiko was killing again. He touched the dried blood on the ground. Someone had gotten wounded. Course there was still glass on the floor. Made sense. He knew Taiko could telekinetically control objects. He had felt it the first time in there fight. Yet, this man was alive.

He narrowed his eyes, the man did say he was dragged off. Guess it was not a lie. His search for Taiko already ended. Now he was taken by someone else. He could leave him be to whatever fate he had. Yet, at the same time, he felt he should go find him. Perhaps he'd escape and beat who took him. The people who took him also were prob not good people. So he decided it was best to go find him. He stepped out of the tavern to see the black skull ship disappear on the horizon. He'd walk to fishermen with a dingy. He'd put some zeni into the man and point at the boat. He nodded, understanding what he meets. He got into the boat grabbing the oars. He began to oar towards the boat. Course he could fly but he'd prob be seen. Plus his game was stealth. He was not going to bust in. He'd click his teeth together as a barrier of sound went around him. He didn't want to be found before he arrived form sight or sound.

It took him a bit to get to the ship. When he did arrive he looked up. It was a large ship indeed. He'd leap up grabbing a ledge. One of the people walked over. He'd peer down as Sesame grabbed the man's face. A sound wave went through him as the collapsed without a sound or thud. He'd flip onto the boat. He was glad he could contain sound. Made this way easier. Now to find Taiko and get him out of here. He'd look around not seeing much else. Their crew had to be somewhere. He'd press against a wall looking out to see more people. He was trying to get an idea of the layout of this ship and where to look for Taiko.

Sesame felt the shake of the ship. Taiko was here for sure. He was a powerful Telepathic he remembered that. He could see that some sort of fight was going on. He finally had a look on Taiko who seemed to be a battle with what he assumed to the captain of the ship. Then the captain pressed a button and turned the cannons around and blasted Taiko. He keeps watching waiting for his chance as Taiko finally saw him. Lucky he had his sound bubble. Course now they'd notice him moving his lips and no sound coming out. "I'm here you get you out of here before you kill someone or something that is it." He came from behind the wall. He'd look at Taiko again, "Nor do I want whatever you can offer." Sesame dug his hands in his pocket. This was going to be a pain.

Sesame strided out looking at the pirate captain. He saw his little trick so he was not worried. He got within 30 feet so they'd be in the sound bubble. So only him and Sesame could hear each other. "Were leaving this ship. He is not with me but I think it unwise of you trying to fight him. For your own safety." Sesame dug his hands out of his pockets as the sound barrier faded. If he keeps it up he'd not fire the cannons if he fired them again. If they needed to fight he could do that but he'd rather just take Taiko and go. He knew someone was going to get seriously hurt or killed by him if he was allowed to run loose. He'd look back at Taiko then back at the captain. "So how is this going to play out Captian." He spoke with a weak hazy voice. He didn't have a lot of stored up sound. He used that on Taiko.

The pirate captain turned the cannons around and fired them at him. He got ready to dodge them but Taiko caught each of them mid-air. He had grown that was easy to see. Sesame sighed as the cannons balls were being sent back. People were blown back. He closed his eyes. Did Taiko not get it. That he didn't need to kill them. He could have just left. Yet, he decided he needed to kill them. Sesame tightened his fist. He should of left Taiko. Then again, getting him may have saved some of the pirates from there fate from Taiko. Yet, he didn't feel good about it. Part of him just wanted to blast Taiko in the back. The logic half of him knew that'd not prove his point. If he used violence to teach him to not use violence he'd not get it.

Taiko arrived back as he flew off. Sesame floated up and followed Taiko. Only to try and tell him what he needed to be. He could still become a good person if he really tried too. Yet, as of now, Taiko was just killing people. For no reason. He was being vile but he could have been good. He was curious why. Why Taiko decided he had to kill these people. Sure, they took him to there ship but he had a feeling it was not as if they just kidnapped him. He started it knowing him. He'd finally catch up landing in front of Taiko. He called him a friend as Sesame just frowned at him. There was some treasure here that he wanted that would make them rich. They could live good lives with the money they could obtain. He just stared at him before he drew something from his gear. A Notepad and a Pen. He'd flipped the piece of paper and wrote down in large letters two simple letters. "No." He'd give Taiko the piece of paper putting his hands over his chest. He waited for what Taiko would be saying.

Sesame followed him for now as he seemed to be going to talk about his life or something. Maybe dissuade him from getting the treasure. He told him how he understood Sesame. How he understood there were some connections between them. How he assumed that he didn't know. He was going to try and help him to stop killing but that was it. He didn't know him enough to decide. Sesame looked at him as they walked. He seemed to have changed. He had the armor of the WTF. He could see that his eyes seemed different. He really was unsure how he changed fully but he seemed to have healed in some regard. That is what he assumed at least. Maybe his race had some regeneration ability.

He began to explain who he was. How his life started. He was born in a small village. He had lived in war and had to fight to survive. He and his brother trained quite hard. To be able to defend his people and his family. Seemed a noble enough start. His brother had become the leader of his village. He assumed he meant after either his father died or retired. Guess that part was not important. He had made his brother his enemy. Because he was weaker. He wanted to spit on the ground and be over with his story but he keeps listening. He wanted to know everything. He wanted to know who he was. He then spoke about how he tried to revive his father but he failed. This man named Gorgon had eaten his father corpse instead. Seemed too much of a sob story to him. He then just skipped a ton of stuff after that. Why did he leave his home? What happened to his brother? He has been attacked by other tribes before what happened there. Nothing just a skip to the next part.

He said he knew what he did was wrong to those pirates but he had to do it. He had to send them back at them. Cause their lives mattered. So it made it right to kill them? They could have been the vilest people in the universe but no one deserved to die. That what he learned to believe. People could learn to become better people. To evolve into good people. Yet, their life was instead snuffed out. Even then, they didn't even need to be on the ship. Taiko could of just of easily sent them into the ocean as well. He had been to the bar tracking Taiko, he knew it was not like he just got kidnapped. He then talked out he had no money and how he didn't get any money to expect if he brought stuff to who he worked for. He already assumed who he worked for based on the armor.

Sesame was going to write but at the same, he thought it'd take too long. To write down everything he was going to say. It was a pain. Seeing as Taiko was close by he could at least talk in the bubble. He'd save some sound. That was all he could do. He was not the type to talk even before he lost the voice, yet this occasion it was needed. There was a lot he needed to say to Taiko. He put a hand to his throat, "I can talk. Good. There is a lot I needed to say. Trust me, that is not something I say lightly. You're trying to convince you are good in the heart but you do what you need to do. That does not make you good."

"Before two years ago. I was an Assassin. I killed a lot of people. Without batting an eye I did it cause that was my job. It was my lot in life. I used my power to sneak on my foe before they could even realize what was going to happen. One palm to back of there chest. A pop of there heart. Or maybe I make there scream so loud that it kills them. Or maybe I make them think their heart is not beating by making it silent so they strike a heart attack out of the fear they died. I was not a good person, i'm still not. Good for the past two years does not make me good. It makes me someone who was lucky to have the chance to change. That was when I killed this kid. I decided to become a better person. I also told myself I'd never kill again."

Sesame paused for a bit taking a deep breath. Taiko was the first person he told the truth. Who he was. What he used to be. What deep down he still was. The shadow that would follow him to the grave and beyond. The shadow that strangled him every fight, telling him to be what he was. Taiko could still change. Took Sesame fifty years, he could pray it could take less for Taiko. "Why i'm telling you this is because the path your going on is not going to lead you anywhere. You say you need money. Get a job. Just because you have god-like powers does not mean you need to turn to vile acts. You say you needed to kill them yet you're the one of there boat. I only found you cause I went to that bar. I'm not stupid. You work for an organization that is taking over planets. I don't care if they do it for good, forcing lordship on anyone is evil. I also have a feeling you left a lot of your backstory out for a good reason. You didn't leave your home for no reason. You could have easily stayed but you came here. Already scarred, already wounded. That was no accident." Sesame crossed his arms. He didn't trust Taiko but he had to change him for good. That was why he was here, that why he had to tell him this.

He got rid of the sound barrier. He had used enough sound to try and talk to Taiko. He didn't need to use it all seeing as they could be soon ambushed. Those pirates were prob not happy that they hurt some of there crew and killed some others. He could see they found the treasure as Taiko looked back. He frowned as he did. He was not going to let him think that he was ok with what was going on. He needed to change before he'd be happy with what was going on. His ears twitched. He could hear a lot of things. From far away, across the island. Faint sounds but people had arrived. The pirates most likely. He pointed at Taiko then back behind them. He ripped a piece of paper out of his notebook after and wrote down what he assumed was coming, "The pirates are on the island. Get ready, no killing." It had on it. He stuffed the paper back into his pocket and waited. Like it or not but Sesame had dragged himself into a fight.

He just laughed. After all of that, he just laughed. Then he started talking. How there could only be one village head. He almost killed his brother. His father was the one who wounded him before he died. So for power, he was willing to almost kill his brother? That is what he got from him. Yet, maybe he became better? He'd have to hear him finish the rest of the story. He then bascailly told him that after the mess with Gorgon he went back to get a scroll and killed his brother. All to kill Gorgon. As if it made it right? He was disgusted by all of this. Again, he had to remember that was the past. He could still become better. He closed his eyes and took in a deep breath before he focused back on his story.

He eventually found out Gorgon was in a wheelchair. He didn't kill him even though he ate and destroyed his father body. He supposed that was good other than the fact he still killed his brother. As they finished his ears began to ring. They had arrived. He'd have to talk to Taiko latter. He knocked the man aside but then he acted as if he was hurt. He didn't believe him. If a cannonball was too much he'd not of almost killed Sesame. He called out he had used too much power. Sesame just decided to help him for now. If he took out these creeps then at least none would have to die. HHe had knocked out the first one so it was a start. As the Captian rushed at Taiko he turned around his fist jetting back as he went to hit the man across the face. The Captain stumbled back as he sent a kick out but the Captian caught. He threw him aside as Sesame landed on a rock face. This captain was not half bad, He could see how Taiko could have been knocked out if he was not careful. He landed back to block the captain way to Taiko as he got into his fighting form ready to face him down.
