He didn't trip over anything, that was good. He hit something, that was good. What he hit dropped something, probably good as well. He eventually came to a halt outside in a cloud of dust, the fact that his target had caused him to stop pushing forward meant that things were about to get interesting! The perpetrator of the disaster inside seemed to be exactly the sort they were here for: big, mean, and wearing a particular symbol on their person that said they were with Backfire. He looked like he might be a zoan-user and Quimby hadn't fought that sort before but figured that it was as straight a fight as a devil fruit could provide and prepared himself to square off.

And then Jess punched him. It only made sense that a man who had buried his past would be more than willing to beat it with a shovel if it came back up and that he would refuse to be helped in settling his personal beef by marines. It took no time at all after the bar owner declared his intent to deal with the threat personally for Quimby to nod and head back into the burning building to manage a rescue effort. He whispered to himself, "Immediate threat's being handled, time to get the civilians out of harm's way..."

As he pushed back into the building, he coughed a little at the building smoke before shouting out, "If anyone can hear me, call out so I can get you out of here!"

He really wished he didn't have to spend precious seconds throwing out that pirate to begin with, now anyone still in the room would have a harder time speaking up over the roar of the fire and he wouldn't be able to spare the strength to just turn over every piece of debris looking for anyone even slightly alive. It then occurred to him that he knew where one person might be since he only heard Starburst outside just now. He had figured that the others would have moved together and that since he had fared well with the initial explosion that they could handle themselves. He'd need to go get Charlie, and if the boy could stand they could both find any other survivors. He moved to the back of the building where they had met with Jess to look for the young trainee while still listening for any other signs of lives that were still able to be preserved, thoughts of where Backfire could have watched from only at the back of his mind.

The echo's of thudding could be heard as Jess and Zeelf traded punches with each other, now that Jess was handling it Starburst used this opportunity to head back to the ruined inn and look for any survivors. As Starburst arrived she called out for to see if their where any survivors, luckily for her there was, a few people where seen helping out others but there where also a few that where stuck under the broken pieces of wood. Starburst run to those that needed the help the most, pulling out one by the hand whiles brushing the debris of them "are you alright sir?" she ask in worriedly "I'll be fine, thank you." the man replied as he sat down to rest him self, Starburst could only nod as she looked around the area for more people that could be struggling.

As she turned to yell over at Quimby she saw Charlie come out of the debris behind him "Charlie! glad your alive!" she yelled over in a happy tone whiles making her over to him "I'm glad that I'm alive as well" he said whiles he brushed him self down "That came out of no where" he said as he looked over at the fight between Jess and Zeelf. It was true, these guys must of been here for a while now, there was no ship in sight when they arrived, unless they had their ship on the other side of the island, that or been here for a while.

"Over here over here" somebody cried out to Quimbys yelling, there where still a few that needed help, now that the three marines where out and safe, they worked together to help those that where still in danger whiles the main threat was being handled by jess, if any of them where to look back they could see Jess landing a powerful blow agents the Lizardman sending him back, one could only imagen what the guy has went through to gain such strength, Zeelf soon got up though and repaid Jess with a solid punch of his own whiles grinning wickedly to him self as blood drooled from his mouth.

As the two made distance between each other Zeelf pursed for a moment before taking in a deep breath "BACKFIRE!!! DO YOUR THING!!!" the beast roared as suddenly a shot echoed from a distance as one of the civilians suddenly dropped dead, starburst looked in shock as the civilian dropped dead to the ground, blood drooling from the back of their head, she then turned to where the shot came from and yelled out to Charlie and Quimby "SINPER! BACKFIRE IS A SNIPER!!!" she yelled out as she pointed towards the clock tower in the distance.

Of course things couldn't be simple when dealing with a person described as a rat, or was it weasel? Either way, anyone that conjures images of vermin tended to make things complicated. Backfire was certainly one of them, completely invisible but still wreaking havoc by pointing trouble in the wrong direction and now by directly hurting innocent people. Quimby would have to apologize to Jess when this was over for not seeing it coming.

Snipers were trouble, but at least they had a general idea of where the shots were coming from this time. There was a lot to pay attention to, especially given the fact that there were likely more pirates in town than just the two of them, and letting one's guard down would spell doom for the marines or civilians. "Keep your heads down, people! Stay close and move into the alley, I'll cover you. Don't panic and just keep moving steady!"

Barkus still had his heavy shield at the ready, so he moved as best he could to keep the frightened flock in his shadow while he held one of his smaller shields up against the top of his larger one like a small, one-man phalanx formation. He didn't have the speed to climb all the way up that tower to give Backfire the beating he deserved, so Quimby stuck to the job he promised Jess he would do, preventing as much harm to the ex-pirate's people as possible. The retreat was slow going, since anyone that moved too far ahead of his shadow would be easy picking for the sniper up above. "I'll take care of things back here, Miss! You can go and give that rat the pounding he deserves! C'mon, Charlie, time to serve and protect, you'll have to be my eyes here."

The older marine tried to keep his vision open to see if any more enemies were coming up, but his protective stance demanded a lot of attention and not much freedom of movement so he just couldn't be everywhere at once. He had tried to peek between his shields to survey the situation but the ringing of a bullet barely blocked in time proved that wouldn't be possible. dammit! this is not working! anyone comes in on the ground and we're toast! No, no, one step at a time, gotta break line of sight with the tower. plan the next move from there...

He hoped Starburst could draw the sniper's fire without actually taking a bullet herself, but he was spread too thin to really be able to help her on that front so hoping was the best he could do right now.

A few more shots fired, another civilian died but luckly the others missed, Starburst grinned her teeth in anger as she darted towards the tower where Backfire hide himself. What kind of coward hides them self and kills innocents, at least come and show your face, what a spinless bastard, Starburst thought to her self as she ran her hardest to wards the tower. suddenly she found her self taking cover as shots started to fire on her, luckly she was able to avoid the shots, it seemed that she got the attention of the cowardly rat.

"Come out and face me you cowardly rat!!!" she yelled out, but there was no responce, it seemed this guy really did keep to the roumous that was said about him, but never mind about that, if she allowed him to stay up there for too long the whole village could be shoot down, she couldn't allow that to happen, she would never forgive her self. looking back she noticed charlie and Quimby out in the open, they where safe behind the sheild for now, but they could only stay there for so long, it was clear what needed to be done.

"Oooi!!! I'm coming for you!!" she yelled out as she darted from behind the building, making her way towards the tower onves again, the shots became faster this time, but less accruate, it was clear by the shoots that where being made that Backfire was panicing, after all, Starburst was now cllose to the tower.

With a hard thrust of her fist, Starburst managed to break done the wooden door with her fist, allowing the dirst to settle as the door landed on the ground, she slowly made her way inside, looking around to see if there where any traps laying around, so far so good, there didn't seem to be anything around which was very suspecours. Starburst made her way up the steps that lead to the top of the tower, silenty as she too one step at a time, she didn't want him to run off, even hough he probably knew that she was inside the building now, the god thing though was no more shoots where being made, which lead to a bad feeling, this ment that he was getting ready for her arrival.

It was a relief when the shots from the tower stopped aiming for civilians and were more focused on the Marine Hero that was pushing toward the target. Good news for Quimby in his duty, but he just hoped that Starburst wasn't in over her head to be trying to catch Backfire on her own. There wouldn't be any way he could run over there to bail her out if things got too dicey.

But he didn't have time to think about that, he had a duty on the ground and she had a duty in the tower and everyone had to do their part. Casualties were as limited as he could expect, not everyone would make it but more of them would than if he weren't there to block the shots he could. And at last he got them corralled into a space where the people would be out of the way of any of the action currently going on.

Of course, it seemed only fair that it not be as simple as that. Getting away from the sniper and the grudge match was a good start, but in retrospect it should have been obvious that there was more to this assault than a sniper and one big monster-man. The Marine couldn't be sure what had caused the pirates to go to all this trouble, surely not just because a trio of marines asked a question in a bar, but what mattered was that the streets he had come into were abuzz with fleeing folk and a concurrent band of other raiders.

"Charlie, if you've got a weapon you like I suggest you get it ready. Things are going downhill and we have work to do! The rest of you take cover here in this house, we'll be close by and sending more folks your way,
just try to keep this spot safe."

As starburst claimed the steps of the tower, she finally reached the top, there at the window was backfire, he was a very thin looking man, he had crocked teeth and a bold patch on his head with brown hair circling around it "take another step, and you're comrades die" he said in a mean manner as he aimed his rifle towards the two marines below "What do you think you'll accomplish from killing innocent people?" Backfire hissed in laughter and replied in a sickly manner "that's the problem with you marines, you always think we are up to something" "Don't give me that bullshit Backfire, you're well known by the marine's for stealing information, if you didn't have a plan what would be the point with all this sneaking about? besides, you're also with the Bloody sun pirates, just being under that name parks you a criminal"

Backfire simply grunted "I suppose you're right, but regardless of the outcome, I will accomplish my mission, even if it involves me being captured!" he would suddenly move and aim his rifle towards jess, grinning sickenly whiles doing so "nooo!!" Starburst yelled out as she rushed towards him to slam her fist into the side of Backfire's face causing him to miss fire hitting the side of Jess's arm instead "graah!" jess yelled out in pain as he grabbed his arm, Zeelf then took full advantage of the situation and punched jess in the chest sending him flying and skating across the ground "pfft, what the hell is that rat doing?" he moaned to him self as he watched jess from a distance getting up with blood pouring from the side of his arm "oh well, I suppose I have to finish the job then" Zeelf complained to him self as he walked towards him.

"Stop it now!" Charlie suddenly yelled out, standing in-between of Zeelf and Jess "N-No more! all this has to stop! I won't let you destroy another village again!" Zeelf stopped in front of the boy, with his brow raised up he looked down on him with a amused expression on his face "oh? ooh! no no no no, this is pricless!! brahhahahaha!!!" he burst into laughter as Charlie took out his sword, readying him self to stop the monsters rampage. Zeelf wripped the tears from his eyes as he looked down at the boy once again "This is great, to perfect, I came to kill that traitors basterd only to find the kid I tied up to a tree all those years ago, and what's this? you also joined the marines? this has to be some sort of joke because this here is hilarious!".

The boy could only grit his teeth as he was laughed at by the pirate, the nightmare of his village, family and friends all being burned down that day still haunted him "I'm going to kill you!!" "Ha! try you're best kid!" the beast yelled out in excitement as he moved in to claw at Charlie, but to Zeelf's surprise Charlie suddenly disappeared, reappearing behind Zeelf him as he managed to cut of the beasts tail "graaaah" he roared out in pain as his tail wiggled about on the ground, lashing out in anger, Zeelf managed to grab Charlie's face, left him up to the air and slam his head into the ground with a mighty crash! teeth flew out as his head crashed to the ground, laying there with blood pouring from his head, he remained knocked out on the floor, Zeelf looked down at him as he spat onto the ground "should of stayed on that tree kid" he growled as he turned to Quimby and Jess as he made his way towards them, his feet would make thudding sounds as he made his way to them "Time to end this" he said in a deep and serious tone.

Meanwhile, back on the tower, Backfire gets him self up, rubbing his jaw with a smile on his face as he keeps an eye on starburst. She looked out from the tower, witnessing everything, she remained silent as Backfire got him self to his feet and looked out to the group below "darn, I missed...well, first time for everything, right?" Sturburst still remained silent as Backfire continued to talk "Nobody can stop Zeelf once he is on a roll, one of the reasons why he was sent here, once we found out Jess was alive, I got as much information as I could so that we could kill him our self's for betraying us" he grinned and licked his lips "I can't wait to see him dead, because once he is dead, we'll be able to run this town to the ground and sell every one to sla-" "shut the hell up!!!" she yelled out as her fist came thundering down into Backfire's face, sending him flying off the tower rails, cousing him to fall down the several story building and come crashing down onto the floor below.

Starburst would look over the broken rails, looking down at Backfire's dead splattered body below "hmph" she grunted to her self as she made her way down the tower, she wasn't going to allow these guys to get away, which Backfire now down, there was only one thing remaining, to stop Zeelf, which was going to be a challenge by it self.

Things were only getting further out of control, it seemed. The civilians were as safe as they were likely to get so now the matter of stopping the pirates themselves was the top priority. Quimby understood that the fight between Jess and Zeelf was personal, but the fact that the lizard had involved the public and there would only be more trouble on the way meant it was time to step in.

As if fate were directly stepping in, one more shot rang from the clock tower and hit the ex-pirate barkeep's arm. No doubt it was supposed to finish him, a relief that Starburst was able to catch him in time. What Barkus hadn't been ready for was Charlie rushing in to get a piece of the monster ahead of him. One of the drawbacks of his heavy equipment. He was huffing as he ran to catch up. The kid was fast, moreso than he gave him credit for, but there was only one way it could end when someone rushed in with such a passion.

When the young recruit was lifted up, Quimby's heart quickened. When Charlie was slammed to the ground in a bloody mess, it skipped a beat. Whatever he had just thought about how foolish it was to rush in in the heat of passion just vanished like the smoke still rising from the ruined bar. Without really taking the time to think of any sort of plan, he put his foot down and sprang forward with his shield in front of him! Lest he pull the same trick twice, as soon as he impacted the beast of a man, he let go of his larger shield and threw himself again for a followup. He jumped up and spun around to slam his arm shield across Zeelf's face.

"You really know how to make a man angry." He huffed as he landed on his feet, the exertion of throwing so much weight around so quickly taking a bit of his breath away. "Damage is already done, so all that's left is to fight until someone's bones're dust."

Zeelf watched as the sheilded marine rushed towards him, grunting as he attempting to block his first attack with his scaler thick arm, but what he didn't expect was that he would drop the should and slam his other sheild into his face which coused him so stummble to one side, spitting out some blood as he rubbed his bruised face "tricky bastard" Zeelf said in an annoyed tone as he turned quicly to attempt to slam his scaley tail into the maines body.

Meanwhile, Starburst was on her way down the tower, when exiting the building she stopped by Backfires body that was now splattered on the ground in a rather awkard pose, it wasn't her intention to kill guy as she would rather he seerved time at impel down but he was willing to kill innocent people with out any guilt, so she had no choose.

looking across the street she saw the fight start up agents Quimby and Zeelf, Starburst would start her move, running down the street as fast as she could, she needed to aid her comrades in the fight with Zeelf. When approching them she walked up to Jess, his arm had seen better day, he was battered and bruised with a shot wound in his arm "I don't need you'r help Marine" Starburst simply remained silent as she turned her gaze towards the fight "you may not need help, but my comrade dose" she would reply back.

Starburst then looked back at Jess "unfortently this is now a marine matter, so i do apologise for intruding in your personal affairs" she said in a stern manner as she makes her way towards Zeelf and Quimby, she would then start to run towards them as she yells out "Oi!!! i'm here to give you that punch!"

The cold-blooded slaver was a tough customer, not that it wasn't expected given what he'd seen the lizard do today. Quimby was not one to give much ground either, however, as he took the tail-slam to the chest and was pushed back a few feet. His shirt was torn through with a raw mark where the rough scales had scraped him, but it was nothing too serious.

Barkus' eyes were focused on the target and Zeelf's counterattack did give him something of an idea to take him down a peg, he'd have to watch for an opportunity without giving away his plan. He rushed back into the fray as Starburst announced her own challenge against the murderous lizard.

"If the kid's still alive, get him out of the way, I'm still good here for now!"

To punctuate his statement of condition, Quimby feigned as if for a straight punch at Zeelf's midsection. The scaled marauder moved to counterattack, but the blow to the head made his reaction a little sloppy. The seaman pulled back his arms to block and used the force to propel him toward his larger, previously dropped shield. He collected it and carried it on one arm "All under control, ready for more?!"

He advanced forward, the spikes on the bottom of his shield pointing out ahead of his fist.

"tch, ready for more? don't get cocky you little shit!" the lizard yelled out in an annoyed tone as charged at the shielded marine "I'm going to break those shields on yours" whiles charging, he would use the full wight of his body to lay a forceful punch into Quimby with his thick skinned fist, if the punch connected with his shield it would punch the marine back, he would most likely feel the force of the punch for sure.

Meanwhile, Starburst took noticed of what Quimby and let him deal with the overgrown lizard for now, taking Charlie into her arms she carried him to Jess "Jess, please allow us to deal with this, Charlie needs first aid really badly" Jess simply looking down at the boy, for a moment he simply looked at the hero wanna be with a stern look, but broke into a sigh, taking the boy off Starburst "I suppose i have no choose in this case, just do me a favour and but the git behind bars, this town has suffered a lot already" Starburst simply nodded "thank you Jess".

Whiles Jess ran off with Charlie, it seemed for now most of the civilians where safe, that meant that there was no longer any need to hold back, cracking her fist, she charged at the fight ahead. Seeing the struggle ahead of her she tightened her fist and ran to the side of Quimby before unleashing a strong punch to Zeelfs face "twenty percent punch!" and with that said, the punch connected to the beasts face sending him back a few meters away from the two "my apologies for bumping in, but i think it's time to end this, how about a team attack?" she said with a grin behind her helmet, offering a hand to Quimby.
