Well, it definitely took some effort - and revealed that the team lacked any sort of 'complete shield' to work against such barrages. However, between the shadow tendrils, floating shield, magnetic field, piercing scream, feather barrage, and, well, hitting the missiles, the group managed to pull through that barrage. Not only that, but the Chutzpah was able to counter, two missiles and a maelstrom of leaves hitting the side of the ship!
"Yeah, that'll... show... them?"
Too early to celebrate: Mikemon and Iko shared a collective 'tsk' as that damage was quickly shored up. However, the doctor himself had an idea: "Luke, charge up your Digivice like you're about to bring Iko to ultimate - but instead of using the energy there, throw it towards the ship!"
"Um, s-sure!" Unsure of where this was going, Luke focused on his device - burning an impressive about of Digisoul - before letting that orange light illuminate on the ship. Mikemon, seeing that created 'target', let forth his Crystal Shield, thrown like a discus in an attempt to cut through the ship's hull like a buzz-saw.
This was little more than an experiment, the group already moving to board: Iko took to the air, between both boats, ready to help those over less able to fly. Mikemon paid attention to that point, if the attack landed:
Would the ship be able to heal if no black water could reach it?
Mikemon uses 'Crystal Shield's' second effect to throw it as a discus. Luke shines his Digivice's light over that same point, keeping it aimed there until he moves to board the ship!

"How is it, Gryz?" Tetsu asked. New form is hard to control after all, especially since this form no longer have any means to contain his corruption and just full on appear on his outer shell. Even so, seeing the teddy bear nodded seem to be a good sign.
"There's no problem in controlling the new form. However, it's seem that at this point I don't have any means to weaken the enemy, attribute wise. I'm not sure how good would I be in this situation, but we'll try, yes?"
"Yeah, that's good enough..."
...As expected, the ship is repaired by the water. Does this means the ship is the avatar of the water? In that case, perhaps they need to stop the ship from getting in contact with the water at all time? But that would be a herculean task. It's better for them to just stop the corruption at its core anyway. Tetsu rises his Digivce. Meanwhile, Gryz would create a bridge for the rest to cross. A teddy bear he might be (albeit looks really cursed, even more than a normal Waru Monzaemon), but all that weight would be way too much for him to cross with s jump, so regardless he decided that this is the best course of action.
...Something smells fishy tho... something that made him feel that he'll find an old friend... or old nemesis. Something in his Digicore boiled, and he don't know why.

Coolmon took a huge breath. She felt as though that scream took a lot out of her and she felt a little tired alr-- Scratch that. Very tired. But...The ship.
She took a look at the ship as they grew closer and closer to boarding it....
That ship pissed her off. She couldn't even explain why, but deep in her core? Anger began to swell and boil and blister and all sorts of awful things as Coolmon stared ahead. Exhaustion gave way to adrenaline. "...Get us in, yes. I think I wanna fight whatever's on that."
...Coolmon was no longer nervous.

As Zudomon swam through the water, he couldn't shake the feeling that something was terribly wrong with it. Clearly, the black coloring wasn't just for show. There was a light tingling feeling around him, but it seemed that the light of his Digivolution was protecting him. However, it wouldn't last forever. He shot out of the water and jumped onto the ship.
Oboro, meanwhile, watched as the other members of the team walked across the bridge. The other Tamer that he didn't know had started pointing his Digivice at the ship, so he decided to do the same. However, no amount of calming crest powers could get him to cross Gryz's bridge. "Zudomon!" he shouted. "I'm gonna stay on the ship and help the captain. Go get 'em!"
Zudomon was a little concerned for Oboro's safety on the Chutzpah, but nodded and gave his Tamer a thumbs up. "You got it!" he said, grinning. "Take care of him, Scopemon!" He grinned at the Captain, but once Oboro's gaze was averted gave the Chutzpah's captain an icy glare that screamed, "or else."

Timothy looked out to the ship as they approached it. It was gonna be interesting trying to board this thing. He wasn't exactly used to ship to ship combat at all. Especially when it involved him and giant digital monsters that could step on him at any time and probably not even notice. Wonderful.
Bibi had an idea, to harass the enemy just before the crew was able to board. So long as they're distracted, boarding actions may catch them more off guard than already. As soon as she was sure they were safe enough to cross without her being shot down on the spot, Bibi took off towards the enemy ship, hovering over it as soon as she arrived, "Sandnado!" She flapped her wings hard over them and a tornado of sand would grow along the enemy poopdeck. Hopefully causing much chaos was being caused as the tornado of sand would only last this turn and would dissipate upon her allies boarding.
Faluo steeled himself for battle. He got to the edge of the ship and waited for the opportunity to jump across to arrive. He was out to cause as much damage and hopefully sink the ship as soon as possible.

Holding up the digivice to counteract the sealant effect of the water on the ship seemed effective at first, but all it did was slow down the speed with which the holes repaired themselves. Mikemon's buzzsaw of light did cut through the wood, yes, but the resulting hole was too narrow to effectively take it down. And it seemed that staying too close to the ship without confronting was on board would be a bad idea, since the Chutzpah was still the smaller, less well armed ship.
Still though, the ship was listing a little from the water it had taken thus far. So it seemed anyway.
Thanks to Bibi's "sand"screen, most of those that had jumped to board the ship did so with visual cover. And there they stood on the main deck.
Here was an eerie sight. A quiet, creaking ship in the middle of a black sea, the deck rising and falling with the waves. There was the sound of the Chutzpah's engines as the corvette sped away, opening up a distance so that Scopemon and the crew could help out in the fight as well.
The wood of the galleon was dark and smoky, the smell of stale salt water rising from the bilge below. To those sensitive to corruption, they would feel something... dangerous from down below. Something that would fill them with foreboding.
Yet, they would hear a sudden burst of female laughter from the helm. There to greet them, her face twisted into an expression of malice, with wisps of dark data blowing around her, a golden anchor slung over her shoulder as she seemed to levitate over the deck, dressed in pirate garb, was a Mermaimon.
"Har! Here's some brave ones indeed!" she said, eyeing them one by one. "Been a while since the Cap'n's 'ad a real challenge!"
"More 'an a thousand years, First Mate!" a voice spoke from behind them. Footsteps could be heard, alternating between a leather 'clop' and a wooden 'clunk'. The door to the Captain's quarters opened, revealing for a moment nothing but darkness, then, a single flash of red from about eye level. The "Captain" stepped out onto the raised stern deck, taking them in one by one with his one remaining eye, which seemed to be glowing red with malice.
"If I didn't know better, it's almost like ye were deliberately sloppy with the cannon" he continued, flashing a grin. Like Mermaimon, he was also holding a weapon, two precisely. One was a long-barrelled gun, the other a vicious looking black anchor ending with spikes that more resembled barbs. His cape billowed out behind him in the fresh sea wind. "Just so I can finally 'ave a bit of a challenge. That is, if these landlubbers can walk the walk now they've 'ad their ship talk the talk, otherwise, only thing they'll be walkin' is the plank!"
By now he was standing on the edge of the stern deck, peering down at them. It was obvious what he was, there was no mistaking that big black hat with a skull and crossbones.
"CaptainHookmon at ye service. So, what're you lot doing aboard me ship?"

The shine of the light was too brief for Mikemon to get too much more than a simple observation - but at the very least, it seemed that Digital Light slowed the healing of the ship a bit.
Useful.. hopefully we'll actually have an opportunity to sink this thing!
That aside, it didn't take too long for the group to board, right onto the deck. Surprisingly, they were greeted with a moment of silence - but Iko's ears soon twitched right at the sound of their gracious 'hosts'.
A Mermaimon - the 'first mate' - and a CaptainHookmon - 'the captain'. Both seemed relatively confident about their odds - but the CaptainHookmon's comments seemed off. A thousand years? There was no way that the corruption incident was more than a year old at this point. It might have been a bit foolish, but Iko decided to actually meet that question head-on!
"We're here to help clean your ship of whatever's going on in the lower deck!"
If the tone was correct, maybe Iko was onto something!

There was something that was out of place here.
Something horribly out of place, at that. On this quiet and creaky ship, Coolmon felt that foreboding presence and it...
Well, it didn't really sit well with the rabbit. "Nnngh..." They seemed surrounded by both Mermaimon and the emerging Captain. The sight of the latter continued to instill a rage that...Coolmon was honestly starting to become more and more afraid of. "Look, I was trying my hardest with that..." She mumbled. Was her work with the gun really that bad? Holy crap, this guy was an ass.
However, a phrase...made something click.
A thousand years?
What?
"...Did you just...say a thousand...what?"

OOC: Alright, we're going to have to fix up this mission thread, so here's what's gonna happen: - The minimum amount of participants will be reduced to 3. - I'll reinstate the turn order, that seems best for everyone from prior experience. - Tetsu has been removed. Oboro and Timothy would be on notice for the next round, if they still don't feel up to it, they can leave the mission without penalties. - It's gonna be damn hard what with my last term's assignments, but, I'll try to put a post in every 2 weeks.
CaptainHookmon turned his gaze to Iko, his one red eye seemingly giving off a glint. "Oh, that so?" he asked. "I take it if I said I'd refuse ye service ye'd insist anyways?"
He then looked to the Coolmon. He felt... something familiar with her data. Something he couldn't say for certain though. He brushed it off, it was probably just an inconsequential glitch in his old programming.
"Aye, that's right, or at least, more 'an a hundred, just sounds more impressive when I say it that way, har har!" he let out a short, harsh laugh.
"Long ago... I remember an island in the Net Sea. There was a treasure deep inside... one I was so close to getting. But alas, the whole lot blew up before I could do so. A tragedy, aye, but... it may not be lost forever. Y'see... this water around us. It's workin' its magic, meltin' away what shouldn't be there, and once it's gone, what should be there'll replace it!"
The Captain might be sounding strange, but he spoke with a purpose, as though he knew to some degree what he was saying was true. He glanced at those that had not spoken yet.
"What's the matter? Kraken got ye tongues?!" he asked.

Well, shoot, Iko had it right! Blindly attacking the CaptainHookmon or the Mermaimon would have been somewhat of a blunder - but at his coherent, if defensive, response, the Shaininmon returned a nod. "Naturally. The boat's yours, but the water around's not doing anyone good when its that... raw."
If nothing else, the pirate's story meshed well enough with the situation at hand - Mikemon nodding in recognition of that alibi. As he and Luke were addressed, though, the doctor gave a sigh. "Maybe. Cats and water, you know?"
"Honestly, I'm still trying to shake the sound of cannonfire out of my ear..."
"Anyway." Iko gave a sigh, shaking his head. "We get rid of what's making the water black, the 'muck' goes away. And if that happens, the island you're looking for might come back. We have no interest in the treasure itself. Surely that sounds fine?"
Why not - there was no downside on his part!

Posting ahead of the post order to make this clear and to make sure I don't get dropped over waiting for someone else in the post order. I've been waiting for a few months and was never given any notification that it was good to just post before Oboro.
Faluo stared towards the Captainhookmon and Mermaimon as they spoke. He made very few movements and breathed very lightly, glad to have been covered by his sister's sand when entering. Though that wasn't relevant anymore as it seemed time moved without him. This was annoying, oh well, moving on. He wasn't at all familiar with the corruption incident, it just hadn't been something he had much involvement in. "So you want to get to this island, and from what I'm gathering, it may return if we remove the corruption in the water." Hopefully he got that right.
Bibi now flew Timothy over as there didn't seem to be much battle going on anymore from the ship. He held onto the talon of the Aquilamon and dropped down as she continued circling the galleon as the conversation happened, he'd have to get caught up after they were done.

"Okay. Okay, that makes sense..." There was a familiarity here...Somewhere...Coolmon didn't understand where it stemmed from, though. That was another thing vexing her. "We just need to get the muck outta the water and then everything will be fine. We can go home. We can get out of this crazy ride."
But wait, didn't he have a mermaid helping him on the ship? Why not just make her go find everything? "...Can't Ms. Mermaimon help you with scouring the seas, though? Or is the problem mostly focused in the water?" It wouldn't surprise her if it were so.
She was having a hard time keeping calm. It was a little like something wanted to tear it's way out by force from within and...that was unpleasant.

OOC: Apologies to Vating. I wish I could have informed you better. But, Martian, I'm afraid I've delayed this as long as I can, and I can't any longer. Oboro and Gomamon aren't in this thread anymore until you can post regularly again. Also, Yuuki is allowed to return now that he's become more active. Hopefully we can get this done swiftly.
CaptainHookmon chuckled a little at Iko's words. "Ah, that's where ye mistaken. Yeh see, the black water eats away at thing that aren't meant to be there, and leaves everything as it should be. Simple as soap! Once the black water washes away the filth of this world... the profligates, the corrupt, the humans..." he blinked for a moment with his one eye, then grinned. "Oh, hey, there's a few of you on this ship now, it seems. So, here's how it's gonna be..." he raised his long rifle. "You're gonna get off my ship, or I'm gonna pick ye off, one- by- one-" he aimed between Luke, Tetsu and Timothy as he spoke.
The Captain was done with diplomacy here. He was the master of this ship, and he knew what these people were here for. They wanted to halt this repainting of his old world. And thus, he would stop them. On the other end of the boat, Mermaimon grinned with excitement, looking forward to what would happen on these seas.

Was this how it had been meant to be? Possibly. The Captain was threatening the lives of her comrades and that did not necessarily sit well with Coolmon. Perhaps it was at that point that the rabbit had decided to let whatever it was that was boiling in her tear it's way out. In almost a sleepwalker-like trance, Coolmon put a hand to the wood of the ship as ice encased the rookie entirely.
It took naught but a second for the block of ice to shatter to reveal a Lekismon. A red-eyed one, specifically. She pointed a finger at CaptainHookmon. "My name is Selene, Daughter of Filia." She spoke. "You hurt my mother. I refuse to let you hurt these allies of mine. I won't allow this filth to wash away this world that so many have come to live in. Time to die."
And the moment she finished talking, she reared her hand back, gathered a sphere of moonlight, and hurled it right at the Captain!
Coolmon gives way to Selene. She attacks CaptainHookmon with Moon Night Bomb.
Moon Night Bomb: Lekismon makes a sphere of moonlight and throws it to an enemy to blind them! Two post duration and three turn cooldown.

What happened? No one really knew. All that Tetsu felt was his body going auto pilot, there's nothing he could address--or more like... he felt so utterly disgusted at this Digimon for unknown reason. The reason of all of this... he have no idea, but Gryz was the one who probably the most affected about it. His breath getting more and more rugged like an agitated beast.
A hundred years... probably more... but this creature in front of him definitely is as disgusting and detestable as before. And with that, Gryz began to open his mouth.
"...How many years have passed...? How many cycles have it been? Meeting, happiness, being partnered, fight together, meeting demise, death, repeat, all over in that island. That wretched island that you isolated... Are you really him? Or are you just some fragment...? Whatever it is... There is just one who will go down this time around, you see... And that's not me or my boy over here... it's... clearly..."
You
The unspoken word was the sign of it all. The giant cursed teddy bear slash taxidermy combo suddenly engorged. From towering, his size just gets bigger and bigger until it reached a size that never achieved before. Six bat-like wings sprouted from where the zippers supposed to be. At first, they're like blob of corruption that seem to be shapeless, yet as it goes, it expands more and more and more, until it becomes skeletal in looks. Half of the body that used to be doll part unraveled, revealing flesh that coated with green, sinister flames that instead of burnt, is slowly taking shape to match the other half that filled with more and more muscle tissues. Horns sprouted from the bear's head and out of nowhere, golden chains began to slither on the bear's body, clinging tightly like four constricting boas. On its chest, the now monstrous looking beast sported the mark of the evil. Yet it's questionable whether this one is truly evil or not.. as this being in front of them is actually the evil one. All sort of evil pale in comparison to the suffering that this evil one did.
"....■■■▂▂▃▃▅▅!!!" There is no hesitation. Despite the fact that he lost his ability of speech, the fury that he intended to bring to the captain is real. The moment it began, Gryz coated his claws with purple sinister flame. Lamprhantus, is what it's called. Should the attack hit not only that the captain would register the pain of being clawed, but also the burn that came from the corrupted flame of hell.
Skill Used: Lamphrantus: Coats his chains in purple flame for three turns. If he's attacked by the enemy or he attacked, this chains burn them for moderate damage. Two turns cooldown.
