While it was true Bu had managed to dodge Barbara’s kick, mainly due to the snake-like shape that got her out of the way of the bolting slam, there were some things that just could not happen. Warg taking a direct hit from a digimon at least one level higher than him, counterattacking and getting there on time to stand in the way of Barbara's kick, was one of those things. To put it shortly, Barbara was too fast for the dragon to accomplish all of that before she got to Bu, so the kick had been launched before Warg to there. Luckily for the Pirates of the Treasure, it had missed. It was then when Warg’s counterattack came. The fact that he had not been able to shoot Barbara before had actually turned out to be a good thing because, naturally, having launched a physical attack against Bu just moments before, Barbara wouldn’t be able to dodge the massive blast coming her way, getting a direct hit. The fairy ate the dust, rolling over the ground for several meters, before reincorporating. They could tell that one had hurt. Before she could even do anything else, she would notice Kon coming at her, at mighty speed. At the same time, the turrets had shot. Having to make a decision, Barbara flew up, getting herself away from the Sealsdramon’s knife, but unavoidably being hit by the turrets, the impact launching her against a tree. The first squeal of pain that came from the fairy during the whole fight could be heard. “Not bad…” Zami whispered. Right before the Tinkermon fell to the ground, she opened up her eyes widely, showing again that disturbing smile. Although she did not issue any words, that expression was enough for them to understand nothing pretty was coming. First, they could see a green aura go around Barbara, almost as if magic had exploded inside of her. Immediately, she clapped her hands, then opening them up and aiming at the clear below her. As soon as she did this, the same yellow dust they had followed after entering the forest started to come off the ground, floating around the air, throughout the whole clear. Soon enough, the group would notice this dust had made them significantly slower, hampering every movement they attempted to make. And then… the most surprising one. Hadn’t Barbara just used her Chaos Blast a minute ago!? Well, now both of her hands were covered in electricity. She placed them together to shoot a burst of yellow energy that was even bigger than the last one, traveling straight towards Warg and Bu. That one definitely seemed like it could hurt. A lot. Even a lot more than the last one. Combat log:
-Barbara misses Frenzy Kick. However, due to her speed, she got to Bu before Warg could get in the way, therefore Frenzy Kick did not hit Warg either. -Barbara takes damage from enhanced Pyroblaster. -Barbara dodges Kon’s Assassination Stab. -Barbara takes damage from the turret, having her defenses reduced. -Barbara damaged both Warg and Kon with the same move last turn, therefor Kuru! activates -Kuru has activated three times in a row, therefor Kuru! Kuru! Kuru! activates -Barbara uses Hectic Healing on herself -Barbara uses Stunning Dust -Barbara uses Chaos Blast, enhanced by Kuru! Kuru! Kuru!
Kuru! [Passive ability]: Barbara can use two active abilities at the first turn of any battle or each time she dealt damage to two or more opponents with the same technique last turn.
Kuru! Kuru! Kuru! [Passive ability]: If Kuru! activates three times in a row, Barbara can use three active abilities the turn Kuru! activated for the third time. However, the third ability she uses has to be one of her abilities currently in cooldown. The cooldown of that ability keeps running normally and it is not restarted. That ability’s range is twice as big as it was originally and, upon contact, it deals twice as much damage as it did originally. The chosen ability must have a cooldown of 2 turns or less. Kuru! Kuru! Kuru! can only activate once per thread.
Hectic Healing: Barbara heals 30% of the total health of a chosen target. The target also gains a 15% speed boost and that target’s projectiles and blasts travel 20% faster. This boost lasts for two turns. If Kuru! was activated this turn, Barbara can target herself. 2 turns cooldown.
Stunning Dust: The stage within a 40-feet radius around Barbara segregates fairy dust. Every digimon inside this area sees its movement speed reduced by 70% for the next turn. Once per thread.
Chaos Blast: From her hand, Barbara shoots a massive electric beam straight towards the opponent. The unleashed electricity moves fast and represents a real challenge to dodge. 2 turns cooldown. [Enhanced by Kuru! Kuru! Kuru!]
Cooldowns: Chaos Twister: 1/1 Spear Massacre: 1/2 Chaos Blast: 1/2 Frenzy Kick: 1/3 Hectic Healing: 0/2
Duration: Hectic Healing: 1/2

He can't dodge this one for sure, not with his move impeded... he really can't. That's why he decided to just take it all. Standing on his ground, he took the full brunt of the attack regardless. Still, not all hope are lost. Kon-chan is close by, and she managed to transfer some of the damage to herself. Still, as expected... two perfect level attack, no matter how you gloss it, is not something that an adult stage can take twice in a row. Both dragon are on their knees.
"Kon-chan, Warg... I'm sorry..." Koharu gripped the banner tightly.
"What are you... even sorry about... If you're truly sorry... then wave it!"
And wave it she did, wave it, and with all her spirits, she yelled her command. "KIZNA, STAND YOUR GROUND! GET UP! GET UP AND FIGHT TO COMPLETE OUR MISSION! WE'RE NOT TO BE DEFEATED HERE, AND NO ONE OF US SHALL DIE A DOG'S DEATH OR FACE A DISGRACEFUL DEFEAT! GET UP, GET UP AND FIGHT!! SHOW OUR DETERMINATION, ONE THAT OUR ENEMY CAN NEVER TAKE FROM US! BARE OUR FANGS AND FIGHT!!"
Roused by the banner waving and rousing yell, the two dragons gained a second wind. Koharu slashed a card, which thankfully healed Warg somewhat. Kon-chan meanwhile? The moment she stood up, she vanished. There's no sight of her at all.
...Truth to be told? She's still in the same position. Her assault gun ready. She doesn't care even if Barbara found her or attack the same spot. She need to survive. Her turret fired for the last time, finally expiring and returning to bunch of data. Warg too seem to be ready in charging mode. There's no guarantee that such obvious attack would hit, but... He's depending on Bu now.
Rally Banner Activated - Second Wind effect 1/3
Linked Core activated: Kon-chan took 1/2 of Barbara's dealt damage via Linked Core!
Warg is charging Pyroblaster Kon-chan is charging Danger Snipe Kon-chan's turret fired for the last time!
Koharu slashed Regenerate at Warg, slowly healing his wound.
Kon-chan's Cooldown: Assassin's Creed: 2/3 Linked Core: 0/3
Warg's Cooldown: Linked Core: 0/3 Limiter Release: 1/3 Forced Assault: 1/2 Dirty Trick: 1/3

This fairy pirate had honestly been an opponent that Bu had underestimated. Every time she hit them, she managed to do more things at once. First two things (one of which she managed to narrowly avoid,) and now? Three things. One of which was aimed right towards her, too. How she was using a skill she had only used just now was beyond the Ginryumon, but she had already dodged something once.
To ask that of her a second time was just way too much, especially with this accursed dust. The lightning impacted Bu, and to put this quite simply? The dragon let out a howl of actual, genuine pain as she was forced to a proverbial knee...Also known as being knocked over for a bit. If that was enough to hurt BU that badly? There was likely no telling what else the fairy had up her sleeve that was worse.
She had to fight, though. That was what was in her blood. That was what she was meant to do. The Ginryumon tried to right herself and surge forward, close a gap between her and Barbara before she opened her mouth and fired forth a spear, one that would hurt quite a bit if it dared to connect with the fairy. Her intent?
Disrupt whatever it was she was doing. Relevant Passive:
Tactile Defense: Ginryumon's armor gives her a 20% bonus to damage reduction. Ouch, oof, Bu just isn't having a good day today, Despite her passive actually reducing damage, that still GENUINELY FUCKING HURT. She retaliates by making an attempt to close the gap between herself and Barbara as much as she can before firing off Tekkoujin!
Tekkoujin: Ginryumon fires a spear from her mouth! Not only is this attack able to used at a longer range than most melee attacks, it has piercing capabilities, enabling it to bypass shields! Two turn cooldown!
Cooldowns: Boujinha: 2/3 Tekkoujin: 0/2

What did Barbara do while the enemies tried to get back on their feet, just seeing them crushed against the ground, scrabbling for energy to keep fighting? She laughed. She laughed maniacally, once again. Her loud shriek echoed through the otherwise silent forest. “Oh my…” She stopped at some point. “… you actually think you have a chance, don’t you, Kuru?” It was while she uttered these words, Zami glanced around them, detecting the almost invisible field force... was gone. Ten minutes had gone by. “We’re free to go now.” The Zamielmon noted. Immediately, he took out a fairly sizeable fold of paper out of his clothes. He stared at it for a second. “I think Black and Blue are back at the ship already. So finish this and let’s go, Barbara.” Still grabbing the Elecmon by one of his legs, the Zamielmon dropped his body off the limb and stood on the ground. The scientist seemed to have stopped trying to break free, although he still seemed fairly upset. “Please, tell me! What did you do to Erismon?” He asked Zami. That was the digimon he mentioned in the recording back at the lab, the one they should see in case he disappeared. Then, the scientist looked at the almost defeated squad. “I’m sorry…” He sighed, looking at Koharu and the rest. “I can tell you came here to see me. I didn’t know things would escalate like this. Now I’m convinced these were the people who were following me and now I don’t even know what happened to my friend.” Apparently, by watching them fight, the Elecmon had developed some type of sympathy for the Pirates of the Treasure. “I wish I could… do anything to help you out.”“Enough.” Zami wiggled the digimon by its leg. “I already told you Erismon is okay.” “Well, I don’t trust you!”With a sigh, the captor turned around and started walking into the forest. “Your problem, not mine. Let’s go, Barbara. Finish this already.”The Zamielmon stopped upon hearing Koharu shout. His eyes widening, he turned around. Barbara, who was still chuckling, stopped too, staring at the human, honestly a bit shocked. The determination of her words echoed through the forest. A statement of valor, of pure courage, bravery, and nerves. After being almost annihilated, this girl was standing in the face of death and calling her crew to go at it. “She can still... f-fight?” Zami muttered. Barbara observed just as astonished. Was this the courage that Radish had passed to her crew? Or did she just attracted courageous people by default? It didn’t seem to matter what she threw at this squad, they would keep getting up until they died. “Your determination…” Barbara’s broken voice sounded again. “The one that makes you fight until you die…” She chuckled “… It is truly amazing, Kuru. And… at the same time...” She grinned. “It is a desperate call for me to fulfill your wishes.” And that was just what she would do. Upon seeing Bu approximate with a significant reduction in her movement speed, she had chosen her victim. Again, that sadistic grin appeared on her face. The fairy jolted towards the dragon, making use of the enhanced speed of movement to dodge both the last turret shot and the spear spat by Bu. In a split of a second, she was right in front of the Ginryumon, delivering a brutal knee to the stomach. If this worked, Bu would be in a smaller, less threatening form immediately after, with Barbara catching her by the tail. “You wanted to fight until the end, didn’t you, Kuru?” She whispered, her face getting closer to an almost unconscious Ryudamon, showing a condescending expression. “Well… guess what?” Barbara tilted her head while she issued that question. Meanwhile, sparking electricity started swirling around her right arm. This time, the amount of energy in that single bolt seemed to be so brutal it issued explosive sounds constantly. It was almost like that bolt of electricity was about to disintegrate whatever it entered in contact with. “You did.”With this, Barbara swung her arm forward… … Ready to cause irreparable damage to Bu. Combat Log: -Barbara damaged three enemies with the same move last turn, therefor Kuru! activates -Barbara dodges both the last shot of the turret and Bu's Tekkoujin, thanks to the enemies having their movement speed by Stunning Dust and her having enhanced movement speed by Hectic Healing. -Barbara has used Kuru! four times in a row. Chaos Speed triggers -Barbara uses Death Sentence on Bu -Barbara uses DIE! on Bu
Kuru! [Passive ability]: Barbara can use two active abilities at the first turn of any battle or each time she dealt damage to two or more opponents with the same technique last turn.
Chaos Speed [Passive ability]: Can only trigger if Kuru! has triggered four times in a row during the same battle. No ally or opponent around a 30 ft radius can use or release active abilities during the next turn. Cooldown: Once per thread.
Death Sentence: Barbara juts herself against an opponent and strikes them with her knee. The impact is so brutal that if the opponent's health is below 30% and they are in a champion (adult) or lower stage, they will automatically go back to their previous stage. Cooldown: 2 turns.
DIE!: A sword of electricity is formed around Barbara's arm, looking to merciless disintegrate the data of the targeted opponent for good. This is one of Barbara's strongest moves. This move can be easily stopped by striking an active ability on Barbara. Cooldown: 5 turns.
Cooldowns: Frenzy Kick: 2/3 Hectic Healing: 1/2 Death Sentence: 0/2 DIE!: 0/5
Duration: Hectic Healing: 2/2 OOC: Update:
This round only requires Yui and the Gals to post.

Bu's attacks weren't working. They were missing or they just plain did not work, and Barbara had essentially done what she could to trump the Ginryumon, even kicking her back down to Rookie. Literally. "Yeah? W-Well..." The nearly unconscious Ryudamon wheezed. "A-At least I'm still c-cuter than you, you stupid fucking fey!" She cackled!
Defiant to the end, huh.
It would seem that the Chaos Pirate had genuinely had them trumped and outmatched by a severe margin, but what the Tinkermon didn't seem to count on was the fact that not all of the crew had been present. Chief of all...A Dorumon, climbing upon a boulder in the shape of a ramp, overlooking the forest. She glanced down and bore witness to the sight of a Tinkermon about to kill her sister. A Tinkermon about to kill Bu and her friends one by one and enjoy every second of it like the wicked piece of shit she was.
In the moments that followed, the moments that felt like an eternity, something very striking became apparent.
Fuu of Ys was not going to allow this.
Fuu of Ys was not going to allow this in the goddamn slightest. Pure rage quickly made itself present upon the face of the Dorumon as ice swiftly encased her form before shattering to reveal a Dorugamon, one that then fired a single sphere of metal down at Barbara, aimed square at her face!
And boy, oh boy, would the metal STING if it made contact with Barbara! Bu is struck and devolves to Ryudamon. Fuu, on the other hand, reveals herself, evolves into Dorugamon in a fit of rage, and attacks Barbara with Power Metal, uncharged, but still quite a tough contender.
Power Metal: The signature move this species is known for, Fuu charges power in her mouth before releasing it in the form of a metal sphere fired at the velocity associated with ship cannons. This move gains more power if she charges it, with 20% more for one post of charge, and 40% for two posts. This normally has a one turn cooldown. With an additional turn per charge. Up to three.

Listening to Bu’s words, Zami just scoffed, a smirk making its way his lips. He had to applaud the rebellion of these pirates, even on the verge of their death.
Annoyed, Barbara had only quirked an eyebrow at Bu’s comment. The nerve of this dragon! It did not matter in what type of tight spot she put it, she would always be defiant, she would always be… so annoying.
And that was exactly why she had to die, right here and right now.
Aggressively, Barbara went to pierce Ryudamon with the electric sword that had formed around her hand, while the rest of the crew could only watch, as every second of what promised to be one of their crewmate’s annihilation slowly went by. When contact was just some inches away of being made, the electric blade turned off, the bolting energy dissipating.
The reason? A metallic sphere had hit Barbara’s cheek, even rolling on her face for one second or two, before jolting away at the thunderstruck stare of everyone present in the clear. Elecmon, Koharu, Zami, Warg, and Kon would meet the sight and hear the sound of the fairy’s body hitting the ground, even bouncing twice.
That HAD to hurt.
Before Zami could turn his head at the source of the projectile, the roar of a crowd got to his ears. There was something coming. There were many, many people coming, actually!
“What the…?”
Among the trees, a human figure came running at full speed. Chasing it, a crowd of at least 30 Hangyomon. From the clear, the voices of some of the officers could be heard.
“Catch her!”
“Don’t let her escape!”
It wouldn’t take long for the running human figure to reach the clear. Barbara, who had slowly reincorporated, was too busy staring at Fuu, the Dorugamon standing at the top of that boulder.
“Agh! I should have known you were coming here to die too!” She shouted. The smug, raving grin had been cleared off her face, and now she just looked extremely angry and shocked. Still, the fact that Barbara knew who Bu was, actually said a lot about a lot of things. For how long had the Chaos Pirates been observing them?
“Barbara…” Zami muttered, taking a step back, as the human figure running from the Navy went pass him and stopped at the middle of the clear. Both the Pirates of the Treasure and Barbara would recognize it immediately: Erika had arrived.
“You…!” Barbara stared at the orange-haired pirate, astonished. However, Erika didn’t issue a single sound. Instead, she just waved at the fairy while her whole body turned into a ray of light and disappeared. “Huh?” The pixie stared, absolutely confused.
“It was a clone.” Zami, who seemed to have realized what was going on, declared. “The one running from the Navy this whole time was not the real Erika. She used an old trick to… bring the Navy to us.”
And he was right. Chasing Erika, a mob of Navy officers had arrived at the forest, surrounding the whole clear.
“Look! It’s the Chaos Pirates too!”
“Now we can catch all of these pirates.”
“But where did Treasure Hunter Erika go?”
Some of the voices of the many mermen surrounding them could be heard.
From between the crowd, the same Octomon that had entered the Aftermath earlier took some steps forward, his gun raised. “Chaos Pirates… and everyone else, whoever you are! You’re completely surrounded give up now!” Naturally, it did not take long for the mollusk to notice Zami was holding Elecmon. “And release Elecmon right now!”
“She was not only tricking the Navy into coming here…” Zami continued. “… She also tricked us, making us think we knew where she was all the time.”
Her eyes wide open, Barbara just looked at all of the Navy soldiers around them. It was going to be a true drag to escape this island now, with so many of them together. “It can’t be…! She's not that smart!” She shook her head, yelling. “Then where’s the real one!? I’ll kill her!”
“YOU CAN'T BEAT MY CREW SO EASILY, SISTER!” The voice of the real Erika echoed through the forest. She was now occupying the spot Fuu had some seconds ago, on top of the giant builder that raised over the trees and everyone in the clear. "Oh, and by the way..." Immediately, Barbara’s eyes went to glare at her sibling, who shouted what probably everyone had been wanting to shout at her for a while.
“...STOP BEING SO EDGY!”
Those words, more than any other sound, echoed throughout the thicket.
“There she is!” Naturally, the Navy soldiers did not take long to spot her.
“D-Did she call her sister?”
“Treasure Hunter Erika and Treasure Hunter Barbara are sisters?”
Many whispers could be heard across the crowd of mermen.
“Come here and say it to my face, you stupid Radish!” A completely wrathful Barbara yelled. “How do you dare to try to mock me!? You’ll pay for this!”
Now that the Pirates of the Treasure were together again, the scenario had changed completely. A crossroad of interests had unfolded. The Navy, The Chaos Pirates and The Pirates of the Treasure were all in the same area. Since it was obvious they could not beat all of the enemies, those members of the crew who could still fight had to think through who should be their target now. In order to leave this island in one piece, it was necessary for all of them to use the few assets they had left intelligently.
One thing was for sure: there was someone about to be attacked by two charged attacks, coming from Koharu’s twins. It was their moment to shine!

Honestly, what does Koharu feel? Anger, distaste... fury perhaps. She had to clutch her crest, as it's shining so bright like never before, yet she has yet to feel any sort of evolution heading toward her partners... actually, she guess this might be a bad evolution if she let it explode like that... she wanted to let it all loose, she wanted to use all this power to at least teach some lesson to the damn pirate. Goddammit--!!
Yet, looks like not all are lost. The event that unfolding made her shocked, but even then, she know she have to act fast. While the Navy are closing in... while everyone is distracted... Card slash!!
Warg found his strength returning. For the final blow to goddamn fairy with chaos complex... how about a taste of what 3-turns cooldown move with 150% damage increase tastes like!? Warg shoot his blast of laser at Barbara, aiming to at least knock her out. He know most likely she'll not take super major damage, but screw that really... He just want that damn sweet revenge.
Kon-chan meanwhile? She decided that there are much more pressing matter. She should try to snipe at Zamielmon, to force him to release Elecmon! They only have so much time after all! Elecmon is the priority, and everyone else are secondary! She pulled the trigger, letting go of her invisibility and fired toward Zamielmon's head!
Koharu slashed card: Reload! It refreshes Limiter Release's cooldown by 1! Warg can use it!
Warg released the charged up Pyroblaster at Barbara! it's at 250% damage, and is now have power of 3 turns cooldown chargable move with pure power!
Kon-chan released Danger Snipe at Zamiemon! Major damage if hit!

There was something quite mesmerizing to Fuu about watching her attacks make contact with their intended target perfectly as she had intended. The Power Metal had hit HARD enough to send the fairy careening and bouncing away from her sister. Bu managed to work herself to her feet, while Fuu glared at the suddenly recuperated Barbara.
"I would inquire about how you know about me, but any sense of inquiry I once had is only overshadowed by the fact that I'm absolutely livid right now."
Wasting no time at all, Fuu took off with a single beat of her wings, soaring towards Zami as though she were intending to pluck Elecmon right from his arms. Now, if that were the intent, that'd be a rather stupid move. She banked on the possibility of Kon-chan making an attack towards Zamielmon, and went from there. With the snipe going his way, she flew with the intent of catching Elecmon should he be dropped, and flying back to where Erika was if she managed to grab him in time!
A bit of a tall order, and a daring one, but one the newly evolved Dorugamon would execute as well as can be. Meanwhile, Bu was being quiet, for once, as she hiked up to her feet to make a retreat. No way she could resume the form of Ginryumon.
Plus, they really needed to get away, too, so no sense in prolonging this. Fuu takes a daring risk and flies towards Zami with the intent of grabbing Elecmon, should Danger Snipe hit him and get him to release the scientist!

“Shut up, I said!”
“S-Sister…”
“It’s going to be okay. I-I swear… I’ll bring him back. We’re not going to lose him. He’s… he’s just trapped.”
“But… he is…”
“DON’T YOU DARE TO SAY IT!”
“…”
“Just because you can’t do it, it doesn’t mean I can’t, you hear me!? I am going to find Astrivia and I am going to bring our father back! And you’ll just stay there and watch!”
Even when a series of consecutive events had unfolded, another batch was about to unfold immediately after, these ones happening almost at the same time.
The Navy had moved towards all of the pirates in the clear, looking to capture them. However, the ones moving from the northern flank would have to move out of the way right now!
The reason? A giant laser being shot their way! Even if Barbara was the main target, it was impossible for it to not harm the rest of the officers, mainly because the fairy had swiftly managed to move out of the way of the blast. Unfortunately for the Chaos Pirates, that had not been, by any means, a clean dodge.
“What the!?” Barbara’s left leg had been heavily damaged by the attack. That was surprising, considering her limb had not been more than one second inside the beam of energy issued by Warg. How much damage could that thing have caused if it hit her directly?
“Careful! These are dangerous pirates!” They could hear the Octomon shouting, while the rest of them started throwing their harpoons and moving forward.
Zami, on his end, was surprised by him being the target of Kon’s attack, especially with the dragon aiming for his head! Just like Barbara, the pirate managed to jump to a side, showing reflexes worth of a digimon his level. However, the bullet did manage to scratch his arm, making him drop Elecmon in the process…
… Only for the scientist to be grabbed mid-air and pulled again towards the Zamielmon. How? Well… the advantages of having a hand for a tail!
However, Fuu would notice that, right when he was pulled back, a silver-ish item had fallen off Elecmon's tail, bouncing twice on the ground. With such a commotion, she would not be able to tell what it was but… She should pick that up right now!
Still, from on top of the rock, Erika glared at the whole scene unfolding beneath her. The Navy drawing closer, all of them shooting both the Pirates of the Treasure and the Chaos Pirates. With so many enemies, the realization did not take long to reach even an airhead like her!
“Pirates of the Treasure!” She yelled, her voice echoing again throughout the forest again. “This is a fight we can’t win!
RETREAT RIGHT NOW!”
She had probably never spoken so seriously in her whole life.
While kicking some of the Navy soldiers away, Barbara raised her gaze to stare at her sister. “Hey, Radish!” She yelled, not even paying attention to the soldiers she swung around without much trouble. Before going down the rock, Erika stopped, only listening to her sister, but having turned her back at her already.
“We’re going to meet again! And I’ll prove to you…! I’ll prove to you what you already know!
I'll always be stronger than you!”
While the battlefield was still chaotic, to say the least, for Erika and Barbara, it was as if the whole world had frozen at that single moment. Slowly, a smirk appeared on the orange-haired captain’s face, her hat covering her eyes.
“You might be right…” She admitted, loud enough for Barbara to hear her.
“… But I bet my life…” She turned her head, showing that tender smile the Tinkermon hated so much.
“… I’m not going to just stay here and watch.”
With this, Erika just jumped down the rock, and ran towards the eastern end of the forest, in the exact opposite direction the crew had originally entered, moving through the trees.
The Pirates of the Treasure should start following her captain right now! if anyone stayed behind, trouble was to be had, no doubt.
The escape of Uka Island had begun!

Annoying. How absolutely annoying... this make Warg's blood boil. How can't she evade such an attack while being distracted by Erika? By being a stage higher? Oh dammit all to absolute hell. Next time they square off, it's better if he's Chaos Dukemon or something! But for the meantime, it's time to run. Run and run they shall.
"TIME TO BAIL!" Koharu yelled at her two twins. Kon-chan quickly draw her knives, just in case the Navy wanted a piece of her... but of course she'll prioritizes herself on running away from the bunch. Warg meanwhile? He grabbed Koharu, making sure to hide her visage from the Navy. Might not meant much, but whatever. The Black Growmon X ran toward where the captain dictated. These stuff is definitely making his ego bruised up... He can't believe he messed up such an important job...
"So what's the plan?" Kon-chan asked. "If we go to the east, that... wouldn't lead us toward our ship right?"
"But there are possibility that the navy have the port under their control... in case, you know... they want to capture the Chaos Pirate..." Koharu commented.
"That makes sense... So are you saying we should instead go for the Chaos Pirate's ship instead?"
"...Are you mad?" Kon-chan retorted.
"Well what else should we do then? We only have Van Eltia, but that only can fit four person rather than six you know?"
"Kh..."

Fuu had unfortunately underestimated the reaction time of Zami, so that lead to her being unable to collect Elecmon as she had planned. However, she would not be returning empty-handed, as the rodent had dropped something in being grabbed. Of course, she knew this fight would become an incredibly one-sided one should they continue, so she snatched up the silverish item and proceeded with her plan of returning towards her captain.
Yes, the plan had always been to make an exit from the island. "Sis, with me!" She called out towards the Ryudamon, who had broken into a sprint. No, that simply would not do. Fuu moved towards Bu to grab the Ryudamon with her claws (a much easier feat when one considers her level now) before the Dorugamon flew towards the east, where Erika had ran off to. She knew what lay there, obviously. "Here!" She spoke aloud, hoping the manzai dragons would hear that and follow along.
Of course, where would their dear captain take them from here?
...Apart from the exact opposite end of the forest.

Now that it was not the clone of Erika running away from the Navy, it was fairly obvious the Hangyomon were going to catch them soon enough! Even if they seemed to be weaker than a regular digimon of the same species, they were at least adult digimon!
“Keep running!” Erika shouted. By now, it seemed like the captain and Fuu had come up with a plan before getting here. Without stopping, she glanced back, to make sure everyone was following her. “I don’t think the Chaos Pirates docked there! Even if I have not seen their ship, I doubt it’s something that we would miss!” She noted while grabbing her hat mid-air, which had been lifted by the air moving around them, due to Fuu flying right above the crew.
“Deploy the anti-air shields!” As a response to this order, one of the Hangyomon threw a metallic ball to the ground, right in front of them. Although it would have no effect for the ones running, Fuu would immediately feel something pulling her down! It was as if the gravitational force had risen throughout the forest, not letting her fly more than two or three meters above ground level.
“Careful, Fuu!” Erika warned her crewmate, hoping she knew a way of cushioning her fall.
With harpoons coming her way, the Captain didn’t take long to issue an order. “Haru, Shield us! But don’t stop moving!” Could Kon and Warg throw a quick technique to hamper the movement of their chasers and keep moving forward? If they could, that would be sweet!
But what about the Sealsdramon and the human’s worries? Well, they were pretty valid!
“Don’t worry! I know he’ll be there! He has to!”
But… was he going to be there? What if he had been caught? She and Fuu and given him the keys and the instructions needed but… Ugh! This better worked! If not, they were going to be completely cornered, considering they were moving towards an area where these soldiers became stronger!
“Haha! These losers are running towards the sea!” One of the Hangyomon shouted, still giving chase, getting closer by the second.
And, at last, the thicket started to decrease, the light of the twilight actually illuminating the road for the team! Time had not stayed still during this whole adventure, and, now that they were exiting the forest, they could notice the night was about to fall!
Finally, the woods were about to end, the last few trees were ahead and, after that, only a short stretch of around 50 meters remained! And what laid beyond that? well, the edge of the island! A rocky abysm that meant a pretty devastating fall over some rocks and into the sea! If the plan did not work, there was no way they were going to leave this island as pirates, they were going to be captured, or killed, or…!
No. This had to work. It had to.
Shaking her head, Erika began running as fast as she could, her eyes closed. When the forest was finally over, the Pirates of the Treasure would meet, by the end of the cliff, floating above the water…
The Age of Erika!
Yes! Their ship was waiting for them right there to get the hell out of here!
The reason behind all of this? It was on top of the deck of said ship, his two arms on the air , shouting for the crew and in the form of a lovely Gabumon!
“Hey! Over here!” Yiro roared, extending the vowels in each final word. “Come on!”
“LET’S GO, PIRATES OF THE TREASURE! INTO OUR NEXT DESTINATION!”
Even if they were probably exhausted, this is where they had to put whatever was left of their energies to reach the edge of the cliff and jump into the vessel, before the Navy caught them. Come on, Pirates of the Treasure! This is the last sprint!

"Coming, coming," Warg replied to Fuu. Honestly, it's hard to run when more spears are tossed out. Thankfully they're adult stage level strength... the bad news though? Kon-chan and Warg are still in their last leg. Even running felt painful, and they're depending on adrenaline to keep themselves going. Is it hard? Obviously. Is it painful? Dulled, but kind of. Do they felt like they wanted to give up? Their body shouted at them to stop already, but they keep running anyway.
"That's a bit of tall order after fighting Barbie, Captain--!" Warg protested. But even then, Kon-chan had an idea. She quickly tapped her backpack, where several air mines appeared out of it, and seem to follow the navy. She seriously need to fix that. Maybe instead it deals half damage if they got hit or full damage if attacked? WHATEVER!
"Card, card, card!" In panic, Kon-chan seem to only can utter primitive way of communication.Thankfully that was enough for Koharu. She quickly slashed Growmon card. Warg quickly spews out blast of flame, a different kind of Pyroblaster from the one he have in his arsenal.
"Move your leg, move your leg!"
"I hear you dammit!"
The tension is all time high, and honestly, the two dragons already panting so damn hard. They used most of their stamina against Barbara after all. What's on the end, what's there?
"...Hey, I just wanna say something... I'm usually not the one who cares about love, especially when I think it's byproduct of hanging bridge effect, but... If I saw that Gabumon on the inn, I swear I'd kiss him..."
"What sort of flag are you raising!? ARE YOU RAISING YOUR DEATH FLAG RIGHT HERE AND NOW!? HELL NAW!" Warg retorted. For once somehow he become the tsukkomi of the duo.
"Well, I felt like I saw our ship and Yiro on it--... must be my tired brain acti---"
...No, in fact it's not. Seeing the fact that their ship are there, the two dragons actually spurned to go even faster. WIthout hesitation, they jumped, from the cliff, to the ship---! And Koharu obviously devolving them midway. Warg was the first to land, rolling on the deck, hitting the edge. Only groan of pain came out from him. Kon-chan meanwhile? She purposely tossed herself to the Gabumon, hoping that he would catch her for a dramatic finale, to which she'd smooch him. Only Koharu, equipped with the anti-grav device would land on her feet.
TIME TO BAIL FOR REAL.

Whether or not the group was on their last leg meant nothing if they got captured by this army of freaky fish guys, really. Fuu felt the force of gravity tugging her down, so she braced for impact by shifting her sister up to her arms before she landed...quite gracefully, actually.
The Hangyomon had underestimated her in that department, considering a Dorugamon was essentially a bigger, badder Dorumon with wings. And as the sun fell, and evening began to rear, the forest yet remained. Fifty or so meters. The Dorugamon continued her sprint, having utmost faith in whatever stunt they were about to pull.
That? Was their ship, being right at the end of the cliff! Fuu leapt off and onto the boat, dropping Bu upon landing! "GO! GET US OUT OF HERE!" The Dorugamon yelled!

“T-Their ship!?” This was something the Hangyomon definitely were not expecting. “Get us out of here, Sailing Masters!”
It was likely that, after such a landing, it would take everyone in the crew a second or two to get into their positions. Once Koharu and Warg had gotten on the wheel, the group would continue to escape. Although they were surrounded by water now, getting away from the Hangyomon would not be that hard. Mainly because they seemed to have received a retreat order from Octomon, their commander. The reason? It was pretty easy to assume, even if the Pirates of the Treasure had no real confirmation. “They must be calling for reinforcements to help against Sister and the Chaos Pirates.” Erika panted, finally letting her rear fall on the deck. “In that case, I guess it is a good thing we did not take Elecmon. If we had, the Navy would be chasing us right now. We know the scientist is their priority.” The fact the Navy was mainly composed by aquatic digimon was a real problem. They did not need a boat to chase pirates! Around an hour had passed and the night had fallen on them. While shyly being smooched by Kon, Yiro had told them about how he had decided to follow the Commandramon after hearing where she was heading, because he was worried. How he saw them fighting Barbara and got out of the forest to call for help, finding Erika and Fuu in the way, who gave him the key and told him what to do with the ship. “It is a good thing my brother is a pirate. Even if he’s not a very good one.” He scratched his head shyly. “I learned how to drive a ship with him.” The Gabumon confessed. “Well, you got there just in time. I don’t think we could have made it without you!” Erika hugged the Gabumon tightly, to then turn at the rest of her crewmates. “And all of you did amazing too!” Extending her arms as much as possible, she went for a group hug! (hopefully, Koharu would help her by crouching, so she could hug the little critters too!) “I am really happy to have you on board, really.” Sounding more serious, Erika broke the hug. “I’m sorry I didn’t tell you about my sister before. I really didn’t expect her to be looking for Elecmon already. Just like I didn’t expect the Navy to have built a base in the island.” She noted, her eyes glaring at the ground. Their captain looked... sad. “… I… might have thought being a pirate was easier than it really is…” She muttered “… But I swear it will be different from now on! I’ll try to be more careful to not endanger my crew like that again!” While she uttered these words, Erika bowed, placing her forehead on the floor. “So please, forgive me!” Under the shining moonlight, Erika apologized to her whole crew.
It was only logical the Pirates of the Treasure had no energy to think about their next movement that same evening. In their first night as pirates, the group tried to recover all of the energies they had left behind in Uka Island. The next day, after breakfast (great job, Fuu!) the crew would reunite again, around the table placed on deck as it was almost a tradition by now. That morning, however, one of the two dragon sisters would wake up feeling… a bit weird. Fuu wasn’t sick but… it was like the data in her insides was changing. Like the information inside of her was revolutionizing by the second. She could feel that this growing data would, sooner or later, allow her to achieve… a new form. That weird feeling had not been an impediment for her to be present in the reunion, even handing the silver-ish device she had picked up at the forest (the one that Elecmon dropped) to Erika. Now that the illumination allowed to see it properly, it was clear it was a D-Terminal. While the captain checked it out, she turned to see Gabumon, who seemed a bit… concerned. “What’s wrong, Yiro?” The captain blinked twice, her legs over the table and her chair leaning a bit backward, while she checked the device. After issuing a sigh, the Gabumon answered. “I was thinking and… I think the Navy saw me on the ship when I arrived. I don’t think I can go back to Uka Island without being put into custody and interrogated.”Almost perplexed at the comment, Erika just stared at the digimon. “I thought you said you lived alone there. Is it really that bad to leave home for a while?”“Huh?” It was the horned digimon blinking now. “W-Well… no. I don’t mind leaving the island. I did not even like my job but… where am I going to go?”“What are you talking about?” After these words, a smile was drawn at the pirate's lips. “You’re a Pirate of the Treasure now! You’re coming with us!”“I… I…!?”While Yiro cried his eyes out, probably out of pure tenderness and happiness, Erika went back to looking at the D-Terminal. “Let’s see…” Luckily, it seemed like it did not have any type of security measure, which was honestly a good thing, considering everything Elecmon had was heavily secured. Probably he put no high-security software in this because he always carried it with him? Naturally, the crew had already play Fuu’s recording about the GATE system and all of the details about the investigation a couple of times, so everyone understood what was going on. “According to what he mentioned…” Erika kept playing with the gadget while she talked. “… Elecmon was still conducting research to take the GATE system to its so-called final stage.” The pirate mused about the situation. “So if we can find something in his D-Terminal that can tell us where he wanted to go next, we can assume that’s where Sister will go, too. If the Chaos Pirates were looking for Elecmon, she has to be interested in him developing the rest of the program for them to reach Astrivia.”“But… what could be Mr. Elecmon’s next step in his research?” Rubbing his chin, Yiro tried to think. “Maybe if we can find… aha!” Erika’s eyes lightened up, widening while she stared at the screen of Elecmon's D-Terminal. “I think I found something interesting. Here’s a conversation with some programmer person! They’re talking about arranging a meeting.” “You’re the only one who can do this, Zarayah Kabuno.” Erika muttered, clearly, reading the content of the messages Elecmon had texted out loud. “I need your skills to complete the program.”“Za-Za...rayah... Ka-bu-no?” “Guys! I think this is the programmer Elecmon needed! I can tell they couldn’t arrange a meeting, probably because Elecmon started being chased by Sister but… this has to be the guy! The Chaos Pirates are going to question Elecmon now that they have him, and if he were to point them towards the next step of his investigation to develop the GATE program, it’s definitely going to be Zarayah Kabuno. They’re definitely going to look for this person to complete the program! We have our lead!” Erika remarked, visibly excited. It was likely everyone else in the crew was as excited as she was! Except for… Yiro. He looked scared, very scared. “What’s wrong?”“Y-Y-You don’t know who Zarayah Kabuno is!?” Yiro asked, stuttering. Erika’s perplexed countenance denoted that… no, she didn’t. “You know this person, Yiro?” The captain asked. “Do you know where they might be? Tell me!”The Gabumon took out an infini-store, searching through its insides. “It’s a good thing that I like to collect the newspapers that we sell at the inn. I think I have one with a front-page that will answer both of your questions.”
Once Yiro found it, the whole group would look at the headline of the Whitewater Journal issued three days ago. The words they would find there would dictate their next destination in this adventure. THE STRONGEST OF ALL TREASURE HUNTERS: ZARAYAH KABUNO, HAS BEEN PLACED INTO CUSTODY BY THE NAVY. THE PIRATE WILL BE TAKEN TO GRIMWAY, THE MAXIMUM SECURITY PRISON FOR PIRATES.
