The group wouldn’t find any obstacle on the way of getting on their Grizzmons and escaping. All of the officers were coming through the front door and the rest of the palace was fairly empty by now. Most of the guards and low-tier soldiers had escaped after noticing their leaders were gone, after all.
Even if the beasts sprinted at full throttle, which made the ride a bit… bumpy, the truth was the path was rather cleared, considering most of the security forces of Snowflake Village were currently at the palace. Tip and Dash led the way atop of Chug and the group was able to descry Ronda after around 10 minutes. The extraction point was simply a small snowy hill at the outsides of town.
By this time, the whole group would start feeling the tranquility it was finally over.
“Donec Moriar.” Both Tip and Dash placed one of their limbs on their chest, greeting Ronda. The Effecmon, however, didn’t respond to this greeting. She was coldly staring at Ooi and Amelie.
“I had the feeling it was you.”Those were Ronda’s first words They had been released on a tense, serious tone. Then, she snickered.
“I love it!” She exclaimed while her snickering slowly turned into plain laughter.
“Luke is going to be so pissed!” She continued as her laughing only got louder. Tip and Dash didn’t really seem to understand what was their crewmate talking about or what was so amusing.
“Oh god. This is pure gold.” She wiped off a little tear by using her claw. It seemed like she was done laughing for now. She extended both arms for Tip and Dash to hand her Moe.
“This was a lot harder than I thought. It was likely we didn’t do a good job selecting our crew, so we should probably improve on our selection skills.” The artist sounded a bit unconcerned by this, even leisurely letting out a yawn. Her eyes then went to Moe, who was simply fast asleep.
“Since there’s no one left who can currently take care of her, we’ll have to take her. We don’t want the Ralph Family finding her again.” She stated. Tip and Dash nodded.
“If you want to give her something so she can remember her saviors, you can do it now. I’ll take it and give it to her once she wakes up.” Would the group choose anything? Maybe something symbolic to Moe? Or maybe they would keep such item and give it to her whenever they met again?
“Congratulations on a job well done. The rewards for this mission should be transferred very soon.” She stated, looking at the three “human” girls.
Ronda’s gaze then went back to Amy and Ooi.
“I’ve got the feeling we’ll see each other again.” She addressed those words to those two specifically, showing them a bit of a sadistic smile.
“It is likely Tip and I are going to look for you again.” Dash was now looking at Mao.
“It’s good to know we did a good job recruiting you for this mission. You were the only one who went through the whole thing until the very end.” The Gazimon and Aegiomon walked towards Ronda.
From her cleavage, the Effecmon took out a piece of jewelry. It had a bright, blue color and it glowed intensively. It probably wouldn’t take long for Ooi or Amelie (were she still conscious) to notice it was extremely similar to a certain prize that was being offered in a race a while ago. The only thing where it actually differed from that object would be the color, this one being blue. Amy, in fact, had seen this exact same gem in hands of one of her best friends before.
Ronda grabbed the gem tightly and closed her eyes. A blue wisp of energy surrounded the three members of the Dark Army and the unconscious Moe. The light soon turned so bright it blinded everyone for a second. Once it dimmed down again, they were gone.
Mao, Ooi, and Amelie would remain on the snowy hill at midnight, with the rest of Grizzmons, who just waved their goodbyes and went their own way. According to Chug, it was time to look for a new home for the herd and definitely avoid being caught again. He knew, however, that Raid was never going to come back.
Chug would walk into the distance with the rest of the bears, never knowing the truth about his friend's death. Maybe it was for the best?
...
Even if only around eight hours had passed since their arrival on that train to Snowflake Village, so much had transpired in this operation. Mistakes were made and a lot of loss came as consequences. Alliances were formed and lives changed forever.
The truth is that, even if the outcome was not perfect, the group should feel satisfied enough with their performance and some of the results they had obtained. The mission was a success.
It was likely everyone felt, however, this was not the last they'd hear from either The Ralph Family, The Dark Army or Moe the Luminamon.
