Overall, things weren't looking so good. As proud as she was that her little trick worked (for the most part), the fact that the fight wasn't over just yet remained. Mukuroyukihime watched as the last one called her out on her deception, and went to attack... someone entirely helpless. But that was not allowed! Mu-kun promised to look after these little ones, or else she would never be able to face Lady Nanami ever again! So she moved with all her impressive rookie speed to intercept the last Goburimon pirate's blow.
"You are the one resorting to dirty tactics!" she yelled out in defiance of the pirate, moving to shove Miyu out of the way. "Forgive me for my rude-" Her voice was cut off by the Goburimon hitting her over the head with a club. Which wasn't a good thing at all. But there was little else the Falcomon could do. She could only use her substitution technique but so often, so she didn't have time to counter or attack. Hopefully the children could use this opportunity to escape somehow. As for the Falcomon herself... she would have to find a way to survive, somehow. And if not... then she died doing her duty. That would not be an unpleasant way to go out, right? And naturally, Nanami's "plan" ended up with them being surrounded and likely riddled with bullets.
Mocha cursed as she hit a barrier of some sort, and heard the voice of presumably the captain, judging by his use of the words "my ship", or at least it was a really possessive crewmate. Welp. That was gonna be a problem. Oh well! "You're right, shouldn't have gone head on, so... lemme fix that real quick!" She put her arms out to the side and her feet together, so the end of her arms and made a triangle shape. "Delta... Beam!!!" A golden triangle of light shot out in a beam of energy... straight below her. This beam of energy shot was pretty good at piercing through things, so hopefully it would shoot down through the hull and start to get this ship a-sinking.
Mocha could be pretty clever, but she was better at thinking on her feet rather than making some sort of scheme. Instead of wasting time taking on the captain, it would be better to get everyone in a panic and take advantage of the chaos.
And as for the surrounded Cream and Nanami? Things were looking pretty dire as Cream threw her armored body over Nanami to protect her, but newcomers with familiar voices managed to stave off any tragedy. Hopefully.
"Things aren't looking good, after all..." Nanami pondered, apparently unconcerned with the dangers at present. "Oh, hey, Akemi! Kathhy! It's good to see you guys! Did you get my message? Oh... Cream! We can hold these guys off, while these two search for the villagers! Just message me when you find them, and I'll get us all to safety!"
"And... how are you planning on that?" Cream asked, getting ready for what was to come.
"Umm... I'll figure something out! But for now, Cream, distract these guys really good! And... Maybe take cover, you two?" Not a second after Nanami said that, Cream sighed, then fired off a barrage of missiles, covering quite a large area. Probably wasn't a good idea to use it in such an enclosed space, but desperate times and all that. Cream tried to cover Nanami and the sisters as much as she could, though.

A collective exclamation of glee followed Goburimon’s successful hit on Mukuroyukihime. It was an expected result, yet no less painful to Mai, who couldn’t do anything in the face of the hopeless situation, except stare horrified at what would likely follow suit. It was doubly frustrating that, even if Miyu had been brushed aside, she still seemed mostly unfazed with what was happening.
Could she really permit something like this? A steadfast and loyal digimon losing her life in the face of their powerlessness was more than what she could bear. She took a deep breath and steeled herself; her intervention was likely to make matters even worse to Mu-kun, but sometimes, feelings didn’t listen to reason.
Thus, she ran. She ran as fast as her body could carry her while the Goburimons began gathering around the Falcomon once again. Without thinking twice, she rammed her closest adversary with all her strength, and found out that the whole deal was expectedly ineffective.
But, even if the baby had harmlessly rebounded against one of the green assailants, she looked skyward as the Goburimons turned towards her. Least to say, Mai wasn’t really expecting this. Time seemed to slow down to a crawl for the following few seconds as a look that conveyed both worry and urgency was directed in Mukuroyukihime’s direction.
“Mukuruyukihime-san, you should take to the skies right now! Fly as high as you can!” With some luck, she wouldn’t take it as a request to flee, but as a tactical disengagement.
She kinda doubted Mu-kun was the type of bird that handled herself well inside a body of water.
From one moment to the next, a bright sheen of light enveloped the pitchmon's body as it enlarged and took a form that vaguely resembled a seal. Immediately afterward, a body of water formed around her and expanded rapidly, pushing back the goburimons into the ship’s handrails and Miyu back to the main cabin simultaneously.
Chances were that wouldn’t be a permanent solution, but at the very least it’d give them a small breather in this otherwise uphill struggle. Things wouldn’t be as easily fixed inside the pirate’s ship, however. The raiding party was clearly outnumbered, even though not precisely outgunned. Mocha’s scheme had no doubt given the pirates something to think about, even though maybe not for the reasons she might’ve thought.
“I can kinda appreciate the dirty trick, but you’ll have to do something better than a single hole to sink The Menace. Don’t think my pride and joy is a brittle lady.” Some steps afterward, a CaptainHookmon revealed itself to the combatants. He had a fierce, yet confident look on his face. “Or that you’ll get away so easily. Ya’ll need more than boldness for that.”
That was enough talk; a series of bullets hailed directly in the group’s direction, even though they were quickly deflected by Akemi, who moved to defend right afterward. “Th-the message was g-good!” Was it really the time for that? “W-we’ll act as decoys and distract th-them. C-clear the way to the cells, q-quick!”
Whether Cream remained with the group as the sisters laid waste to the pirates, or if both her and Cream went to ensure a faster evacuation, that was up to them. As things stood, every second was precious.

Sadly, unbeknownst to the newly Digivolved wavemaker, Mukuroyukihime was not a Digimon capable of flight, despite her feathers and ninja training. Not that she was salty about it or anything. Plenty of bird Digimon couldn't fly. It was a totally normal condition. And definitely wasn't a sore spot or a point of shame for the Falcomon. At all. So we should just stop talking about it, okay?
So naturally, Mu-kun got whelmed with Mai's newfound powers, and flew along with the Goburimon towards the guardrails. And the Falcomon didn't see any other option than a single action she could take in this situation. Besides, when she went overboard, her feathers were gonna weigh her down in the water, anyway! "Feather Kunai... Barrage!" She cried out in pure ninja-like fashion, spinning around and unleashing a torrent of daggerlike-feathers at the Goburimon. Was it enough to take them out? Probably not, most of them were still super healthy. But it might be enough to knock them overboard, along with Mu-kun herself!
Granted, picking a fight with four pirates in the water probably wasn't a smart option, but Mu-kun considered herself a strong swimmer, thanks to her ninja training (of course). There was a chance that Mu-kun could outpace the Goburimon in the water if she swam away from them, and if the Goburimon attempted to climb back aboard the ship... Well, they would leave themselves open to an attack!
It was a terrible plan really, but have you noticed what character Mu-kun's a merc for?
And speaking of Mu-kun's unrequited love interest employer, things were progressing just swimmingly with the little girl and her metal bunny buddies.
For as intimidating as this CaptainHookmon's reveal probably was, Mocha refused to let herself get shook just because of stuff like, "being outclassed and outnumbered". As far as she was concerned, there was just and asshole who needed to get knocked down a peg, not to mention the whole capturing villagers thing. What was pretty bad of them. So the pink Rapidmon boldly chuckled in front of the Captain. "Here's the thing about little holes..." Mocha explained to the Captain as if they were a child. "Lesson #1! If you're not real careful about takin' care of them, and you don't patch 'em up real quick, those little holes can turn into big holes!"
Her face in this form couldn't really give off a whole lot of facial expressions, but the smugness in her voice was apparent while she shove the end of her arm into the hole she made beneath herself. "And Lesson #2! Do you know how concussive forces react when in enclosed spaces?" She chuckled for a second before adding, "No seriously, that question is real! I've never used stuff like missiles and explosions before, but I'm just dyin' to find out!" And she fired off an explosive missile into the little hole. Was the explosion gonna hit her? Most definitely, but hopefully it was enough to make things just a bit worse for this little boat they were on!
And as for Nanami and Cream, they nodded to Katherine and Akemi. Nanami and Cream had wanted them to go search for the prisoners, but apparently they didn't want to do that for some reason and insisted on holding them off. How rude. "Right. Good luck." But whatever. Cream wrapped her metal body around Nanami the best she could, and dove forward past the group of enemies in search for whatever prisoners may be there. Naturally, they were just going in a random direction, but there was always a chance, right?

Well, that had been a pretty grievous miscalculation; the fact that Mai had wrongly assumed that Mu-kun possessed the ability to fly due to her nature as a bird, and now she was at risk of falling off the ship due to the Gomamon X’s newfound powers.
No known or expected factors could prevented this issue, but luckily, an unexpected factor came into play for this time only; a flipper extended itself and firmly gripped one of Mukuroyukihime’s arms, preventing her from being thrown overboard. “Nuh-huh! That won’t do! If I can’t go there and enjoy myself with the pirates, you’re staying here with us all! No fair otherwise!”
In the face of this development, Mai’s gaze turned towards the helm; she found out that Sasha had evolved as well, her form being replaced by a Jazamon’s. That was pretty handy, and the fact that she quite didn’t understand the reasons, she decided to question their good fortune later.
“Sasha, turn portside! We’re going full speed ahead!” They hadn’t gotten any updates regarding the diversion, so it was her turn to believe the worst; it wasn’t going to be a pretty situation or a confrontation she wanted to participate in, but they probably had no other option than to attempt to rendezvous.
With any luck, this wouldn’t be a mistake… Speaking of mistakes! This engagement would probably be extremely quick, and pretty deadly considering that Mocha didn’t seem to mind the collateral damage her weapons could cause at all.
She called the Captain’s words a bluff, and the truth was… that they were, but probably not to the extent she thought. As soon as the missile was fired, a massive explosion resounded beneath them, ascending towards their current chamber at amazing speeds and enveloping that section of the ship in flames. Akemi and Katherine tried to guard to the best of their abilities, but the result was pretty clear. “Th-that must’ve hit the a-ammo storage.” The Sagomon mentioned. “I-If the f-fire isn't p-put off, i-it won’t be long before the ship is split in t-two!”
How she knew that bit of engineering was a mystery, but the truth was that they had little time; it was also a fairly convenient lucky thing that Nanami had abandoned the current room, as avoiding the explosion had been almost impossible, especially having into account its somewhat surprised nature.
However, it seemed like the captain was done playing around. “Stop the explosions right now!” He barked at the rest of his conscious crow while, in a show of amazing speed, moved to strike at the Rapidmon with amazing speed. She’d have to be on her feet from now on, even though both the Anomalocarimon and the Sagomon seemed would probably prove to be handy enough at slowing the ultimate down.
“We’ll have to buy ’em as much time as possible. Hope your sister is fast.” A pincer strike was deftly dodged, but that was basically what Katherine had intended. As long as the captain didn’t have full maneuverability and the crew were distracted with the fires, chances were they were favored at trying to stall him out.

Thankfully, the flightless Mu-kun was saved by the timely appearance of another flightless (maybe) bird that was Miyu, judging by the color of her voice. Hopefully the pirates were thrown overboard, which just left a rendezvous. But then things got a little... worse. There was an explosion on the ship. "Lady Nanami! I'm coming!" She yelled out, breaking free from the Penmon's grasp and dove off the side, expanding a hang-glider that the writer totally forgot about and would have been kind of useful earlier and glided off towards the probably soon to be sinking ship.
Well... It was a good thing that the gang all Digivolved. Who knows what Mu-kun would have done if they were all still little babies?
Meanwhile, Mocha seemed to be having the time of her life. She moved back, giving a mocking laugh as Akemi and Katherine helped to intercept the Captain's attack. Despite the fact she had taken a bit of damage, between the captain's interjection and the fact that she rammed through walls, and that her face didn't have a mouth, you could tell that the pink Rapidmon was grinning like a madmon. "I guess I should help put out these fires, too!" She declared with a mischievous tone. "You're supposed to fight fire with fire, right?" And then she promptly fired off a barrage of missiles, aimed mainly at the crew working on damage control. And since the other two seemed to have this, Mocha figured she'd take her leave and join up with her sis and Nanami. "Have fun, kiddos!" She yelled out while cackling like crazy.
Meanwhile, Nanami and Cream were flying ahead, ramming open every door and gate and whatnot that they could find. The prisoners had to be somewhere, right? And while they were doing that, Mocha was catching up with them as fast as she could. It was probably a good idea if they found the prisoners soon!

As the bigger vessel sailed at full speed to meet with its smaller cousin, the fight at the pirate ship had taken a turn that could only be described as… messy.
While Akemi and Katherine distracted the Captain, the remaining Rapidmon began to indiscriminately attack the people who were in charge of putting the fire off. Of course, in the long run, that could only have a single result; another massive explosion detonated from within the ship's depths as one of the pirates frantically called out. “The ship is lost! Abandon ship! Abandon ship!”
Another explosion shortly followed it; a massive pillar of pure explosive power split the boat’s superstructure in half, with both halves beginning to capsize rapidly as pretty much every crew member tried desperately to escape in case something even worse happened. Even the Captain was thinking twice about keeping on fighting when things looked like this. “Don’t ever think I’m gonna let you get away with this.”
Yep, corny stock phrase, but from one moment to the next, he wasn’t there anymore. “We should make haste as well; we’ve got to save as many digimons as we can.” All in all, it was pretty hard to know if they had rescued everyone amid the veritable chaos instigated by Mocha, but the group had nonetheless rescued as many innocent digimon as they could, and congregated in the biggest boat’s deck.
“Well, that wasn’t as smooth as I imagined it’d be.” Magnus said, sighing both in exhaustion and in relief. “But I feel like it was good enough. Thanks for helping out, guys; I doubt I would’ve been able to pull this one off without y’all.”
Most of Magnus’ partners were probably busy rounding up all the prisoners that they had collectively rescued from the boat, so they limited themselves to show varying degrees of approval to his words. “I’m gonna bring these to the shore and hand them over to Haru. She’ll probably know what to do next. Wanna come, or are you going to be on your merry way?”
At least it was a good thing they hadn’t permanently damaged any of their embarkations. That’d have been yet another headache. [Exit]
