Once Hana had used the line to get out of the well, Lothar took ahold of it before climbing out himself. Once he was out Mandrake placed the grapple gun back in the Ifiniti-Store before placing it in Lothar's bag before handing it and his boyfriend's sword to him. Lothar placed his bag on his back and sword at his hip again as Mandrake used his telekinesis to levitate his staff into his right hand.
From on Lothar's shoulder, Kshin asked "Mandrake, how are we going to stop those pirates before they take everything?"
"That's a good question since Ouryumon is a mega digimon but her crew is mostly champion level with a few ultimates sprinkled in which might make them more manageable if Ouryumon wasn't in the way." Lothar said while scratching his chin in thought.
"I have an idea and hopefully it will work according to plan." Mandrake said the mischievous sparkle having not left his sapphire blue eyes.

"Hmm, which would be the better option for you guys to use for this, guys? DNA to ShadowGrademon, or stick with Guardromon and Chrysalimon?" Hana asked her partners, wanting their input on the matter.
"Hmm, ShadowGrademon would be a bit stronger than Guardromon and Chrysalimon alone, but we may need the numbers to have a chance against the pirates." Data pondered. this whole dilemma completely went over Rush's head, so the Keramon just kept quiet and let his brother do the thinking. "Let's stick with our individual Champion forms. We don't exactly have time to waste worrying about this."
"Right, right. Good point." Hana conceded. She was about to digivolve her partners when Kshin asked about how they were going to stop the pirates, to which Mandrake said that he had an idea for dealing with getting Ouryumon out of the way.
"Oh? What's your idea, Mandrake?" Data asked the Wizardmon.

Hana and Data both pondered the advantages of DNA digivolving or sticking with their individual champion forms of Guardromon and Chrysalimon although the discussion seemed to fly over Rush's head in the process of it all. Soon their individual champion forms were decided upon as more numbers might be more beneficial to them at the current time.
When asked what his plan was Mandrake said "It is quite simple, Hana. It is not uncommon for thieves like Ouryumon's crew to be cowardly in nature and with one of my illusions I think we can cause enough of a disruption to deal with them."
"But what of Ouryumon. We may need more than just mere illusions to deal with her." Lothar then said in response to Mandrake's idea.
Mandrake merely shrugged before he said "I'm afraid I have no idea how to deal with her since, to be honest, I'm making things up as I go."

"Hmm, once we lure away Ouryumon we should probably focus on taking out their MailBirdramon ally first. We won't be able to do anything to them if they can just use gas bombs on us again." Data suggested, shuddering as he remembered the effects of the earlier attack. "Once the rest of the crew is beaten, the four of us can focus on Ouryumon. Oh, wait! If we get most of the crew looking in the same spot, Rush can use his Evil Glare ability to temporarily paralyze the Champion-level pirates. If we can get them covered in water while their stunned, I can electrocute them with Thunder Break. That should soften them up for us to take at least some of them down."
"Wow, you really put a lot of thought into that. I think that could work if we can find a way to get them wet enough. Mandrake's Thunderbirdmon form could maybe help to zap them as well." Hana added, impressed with the Hagurumon's creativity. "Mandrake, Lothar. What do you guys think?"

Yes Mailbirdramon had to be dealt with seeing as neither Mandrake or Lothar were in the mood for another forced nap or even something worse. "Now before I cast another illusion I think we should perhaps get to higher ground so we can find where in the city they are since they still haven't deactivated their devices as I cannot sense their minds." Mandrake said as he turned heading for one of the old buildings intending to climb onto the roof.
"I don't like this, Mandrake. If they thought we were dead then why would those devices still be active?" Lothar asked as he voiced his concerns while walking at Mandrake's side.
"Let's just hope they merely forgot about those devices for the sake of there plan."
Soon the group stood on one of the nearby roofs of one of the taller buildings in the area and spotted the pirates looting the city of everything of potential value and were being none to gentle about it. Thinking they needed a lesson in respect Mandrake narrowed his eyes before twirling his staff as he said "Magical Game!"
Up in the air above the pirates a bright orb of light appeared catching the attention of the gang of pirates before taking another form.
"An illusion of Yggdrasill? Talk about attempting to put a fear of God in them." Lothar muttered looking awestruck at the sheer sight of his boyfriend's illusion.

Before the group moved to go after the pirates, Hana took a quick moment to digivolve Data and Rush into their Champion forms. As the group went onto a nearby rooftop and found the pirates looting the city, Data was disgusted by the pirates' wanton looting and disrespect to history.
"Unbelievable. We need to stop these monsters no matter what. They won't get away with this heinous behavior." Data scoffed in disgust. Hana and Rush definitely agreed with him, judging from their body language.
When Mandrake cast his illusion, Data was shocked by the illusion taking the form of an avatar of Yggdrasil. However, this shock quickly faded as the Guardromon had a devious idea. Once the illusion was formed, Data prepared to unleash one of his strongest attacks.
"Let’s make this illusion a bit more believable. Thunder Break." The Guardromon quietly said, while raising one hand to the sky. Dark storm clouds quickly gathered in the sky above the illusion, with booming thunderclaps and arcs of lightning jumping between the clouds. It made it appear as if Yggdrasil itself was preparing to smite the pirates down below.

Many of the pirates gaped in disbelief at the sight of Yggdrasill above them as the figure seemed to glare at them coldly. Just as Mandrake was about to release an attack to make the illusion seem real it seemed Data had the same idea and both Mandrake and Lothar couldn't help but smirk at the sight of many of the pirates scurrying from the illusion of the angry god in panic after dropping what loot they had trying to avoid a certain smiting they would surely receive.
"Well done, Data. I have to admit I had a similar idea myself." Mandrake said as he watched the panic down below.
"Just shows how cowardly they really are. With any luck most of the pirates will soon be out of our hair." Lothar said as the cry of Mailbirdramon sounded behind them and seemed to be heading for its boss. "Oh no you don't. You won't be alerting Ouryumon pal." Lothar said as he leapt into the air and snagged the metal bird digimon and pulled it back to the roof holding its beak shut while rolling around in an attempt to restrain Mailbirdramon.

Data chuckled at the sight of the pirates fleeing in terror from the illusion of the angry god throwing lightning bolts at them. A few pirates weren't able to run fast enough ended up getting zapped. yelping in pain as they did.
The MailBirdramon's cry drew Data's attention as his Thunder Break finished running it's course. When Lothar grabbed it and brought it down, Data motioned for Rush to help the Leomon restrain it. Giving the metal bird a harsh glare to paralyze it, the Chrysalimon wrapped his tentacles around it to bind it's wings and beak while making sure to avoid trapping Lothar as well.
"Bad Bird not going anywhere. Bird in time out." Rush smugly said. Finally, the purple Digimon got to defeat one of the birds he hates so much. "Not going anywhere."
"Good work, Rush. Hopefully that'll buy us some time before these pirates catch on to our ruse." Data proudly praised his brother. "What's our next move, now that we've got the pirates on the run?" Moves used: Thunder Break: 0/5 Evil Glare: Rush glares at the opponent, rendering them unable to move for 1 turn. Doesn't work on ultimate-or-higher digimon. 0/3

Ouryumon glared at her men as most of them were well on their way out of the ruins risking their hides with the traps in the caverns if only to get away from Yggdrasill's wrath. As the lightning ended the illusion faded as well and knowing none of her men knew how to create illusions the female mega's annoyance was clearly written on her face. Orcamon noticed and backed up as she said "It seems that a certain Wizardmon has escaped certain doom with petty trickery and when I get my claws on him he will regret it."
When asked what their next move was, Mandrake said "I think I have a good idea if everyone is okay with it."
Kshin looked excited to know what Mandrake had in mind and Lothar said "I'm with you if Hana, Data, and Rush are." Lothar didn't relax his grip on Mailbirdramon for the last thing the group needed was to deal with either the bird giving away their position or using knock out gas.

"Hm, your plans have worked two for two so far, Mandrake, so let's hear what you got." Data said, before turning to look at the Mailbirdramon being restrained by Lothar and Rush. "Oh, I almost forgot about you. Now, how are we going to deal with this overgrown metal chicken? May I take care of this, Lothar? As a machine Digimon, my heavier weight will make it easier to restrain Mailbirdramon without losing my grip. Or I could simply knock it unconscious if it keeps fighting. Would a chokehold work better, or should I just give it an Iron Knuckle to the face to shut it up?"
After he finished rambling, Data sent a glare at the metal bird Digimon while he cracked his metal knuckles. His threat came out a little more vicious than he intended, but hopefully this would intimidate it into not struggling against its restraints.
"Man, you can be scary when you want to be." Hana muttered, as she took a small step away from the Guardromon. Thunder break: 1/5 Evil Glare: 1/3

Hana and her partners seemed on board but Data seemed a little too enthusiastic as he threatened the Mailbirdramon and approached the restrained digimon. Reaching out and taking hold of Data's arm, Mandrake said "Easy there, Data. For my plan to work we need Mailbirdramon to be conscious as well as in one piece." Walking past the Guardromon he stood in front of Mailbirdramon and then said "I plan on hypnotizing our friend here then using my telepathy to tap into his mind to hear what he hears. With any luck Ouryumon will not suspect a thing."
"Clever idea, Mandrake. I had no idea you could do that." Lothar said while still assisting Rush in restraining the Mailbirdramon who had begun struggling more violently.
"Remember the technique I tried to use awhile back against a SkullSatamon?" Mandrake asked causing Lothar to nod in response before the Wizardmon continued "I was practicing it in secret for I had a feeling that one day such a move would come in handy. Observe. Hypnotic Suggestion!" Mandrake waved his hand before Mailbirdramon's eyes, while purely for show, it had the metal birds attention and Mailbirdramon slowly seemed to fade into a trance as Mandrake then said "You are under my power, Mailbirdramon. When you are released I order you to return to Ouryumon. Do you understand." At Mailbirdramon's nod, Mandrake said "Lothar. Rush. Release Mailbirdramon."
As Mailbirdramon was released it flew off and Mandrake placed a finger on each of his temples while closing his eyes as he entered the hypnotized digimon's brain. For a hypnotized digimon he sure was flying well.

"Don't worry, I was merely trying to intimidate the Mailbirdramon into staying still. I wasn't going to do anything excessive to him. Honestly, your idea is much better anyways." Data said, raising his hands as he backed away from the metal bird. "It's ironic that we're gonna turn the bird into our spy after Ouryumon used the Orcamon to spy on us."
On Mandrake's command Rush let go of the Mailbirdramon and floated back over towards Hana, who gently rubbed the Chrysalimon's side as he hugged her back. "Aw, I love you too, Rush."
The trio watched as Mandrake hypnotized the Mailbirdramon and sent him off to spy on Ouryumon.
"Well, let's hope this tactic bears fruit. We'll need every advantage we can get to stop the pirates." Data said as he went over and put his large hand on Hana's shoulder. Suddenly, the Guardromon realized a potentially dangerous hole in their plan. "Wait, shouldn't we have taken away the MailBirdramon's gas bombs before we sent him off? Those probably would've been pretty useful for us to use against Ouryumon."
Thunder Break: 2/5 Evil Glare: 2/3

"With luck Ouryumon's efforts of spying will come back and bite her in the butt." Kshin said as Mailbirdramon headed for Ouryumon.
Not wanting to disturb Mandrake's concentration, Lothar said "The gas from those bombs looked quite potent. Maybe even strong enough to drop a mega since they looked like they were artificially added onto Mailbirdramon. It seems Ouryumon was planning to deal with potentially stronger opponents than she got."
Meanwhile, with Ouryumon, the dragon digimon spotted Mailbirdramon overhead and said "About time you finished your patrol. At least the Wizardmon that stood in our way has survived and has begun making trouble for us. Have you seen the little pest?"
Mailbirdramon, still in a trance, shook its head no in a zombie like fashion making Ouryumon look suspicious of the bird digimon. Since the effect of his ability was wearing off shortly Mandrake silently ordered Mailbirdramon to drop its bombs upon his boss. Orcamon stared in shock as the bombs fell upon them but since the gas was quite strong the champion digimon dropped like a rock and out cold in seconds.
Ouryumon let out an enraged roar at the treachery she witnessed and blasted the Mailbirdramon with dark energy from her mouth disintegrating the metallic champion level bird instantly. Mandrake cried out in pain from the destructive force set upon Mailbirdramon and the sudden disruption of his mental link and started falling backwards only for Lothar to catch him. Lothar knelt down and cradled a groaning Mandrake close. Meanwhile the gases had done their work as Ouryumon was now unconscious too.

The Ouryumon's attack that disintegrated Mailbirdramon was large enough that Data could see it all the way from the rooftop they were on. "Holy crap, that Ouryumon's strong if she can do that! Is it weird that I kinda feel bad for that bird getting disintegrated?"
"No. It may have been evil, but I don't think it deserved to die like that." Hana replied with a grimace. This was the first time the teenage girl had actually seen someone die, and the sight was making her feel sick to her stomach. "Are you okay, Mandrake? It looked like it hurt you when Mailbirdramon got atomized."
"At least it dropped its payload, so we should probably go and take care of those pirates before they wake up. Once Mandrake's recovered, that is." Data added.
"Yeah, this would be our best chance to deal with Ouryumon." Hana agreed, before squinting her eyes to try and get a better look. "We should be careful, in case there's some pirates that didn''t get knocked out." Thunder Break: 3/5 Evil glare: 3/3

Mandrake slowly opened his eyes and placed a hand on his head since it was still sore from both the death of Mailbirdramon and the sudden cut off of his mental link. After taking a deep breath, Mandrake said "I'm alright and I agree we should round up who we can before Ouryumon wakes up." Mandrake then slowly stood up and began heading to where Orcamon and Ouryumon slept. Lothar stood up shortly after while picking up Kshin.
As the group came into the town square of the ruins where both enemies were sleeping it seemed Ouryumon had not completely dropped off as she was slowly pushing herself up. Fortunately she seemed in a weakened and drugged state as she began moving. Ducking just out of sight, Mandrake said "It appears that while this gas affects megas it only appears to weaken them. Quite the unfortunate circumstance indeed. We might be able to bring her down but only if we are careful." Lothar set Kshin on the ground with a look that seemed to say 'Stay out of sight.'
