"Very well, you need not worry. I am more then enough to handle ruffians such as these." There was an evident hint of worry in her voice though, she definitely didn't want Clayton gone either. "You must survive human, we've an oath I shall not let go of so easily." Zu muttered under her breath as she went back to fighting.
The Divermon that Zack and Marigold had decided to aim at looked up just in time for the many different bees to start getting him right in the eye, raising his free hand to block them he shouted. "You little, ugh!" He was going to start going after Marigold when he felt something hit the back of his head, turning around he saw Zack back off. "Guess you have a death wish!" He raised his spear aiming to dash at the human.
"Eyes on your opponent!" Zu called out delivering a tackle with all her weight against the Divermon causing him to fling forward above Zack and into the railing nearby. Shaking his head the digimon attempted to get up. However the sticky attack Marigold had shot at his hand was still there, and was now attached to the railing of the ship. "Sonofa~" From his position he couldn't get it loose.
Meanwhile the second Divermon was still free, aiming to attack Zu with her back turned, instead though he was picked up by Ranamon in a large bubble of water, standing off to the side chanting something as the Hookmon raised his fun and fired hitting the Divermon right in the center with his cannon arm knocking him out of the bubble and onto the ground, he seemed hurt but wasn't out yet.
Meanwhile out in the ocean Clayton was doing everything he could to try and get the anchor off his leg, it didn't seem to work though as he wasn't strong enough to remove it himself. Luckily for him though Stacy now as Adriamon appeared next to him... Which caused him to panic even more since he wasn't used to seeing Stacy in that form. Thankfully though the moment she went to remove anchor he calmed down figuring it was Stacy or at least a friendly mon.
He could've sworn she was talking though, he couldn't hear her at all. Probably because of all the water in his ears his human state wasn't used to having! She seemed to offer him something though, reaching out Clayton tried to grab it. Just for something to dash between the two of them at a high speed knocking Clayton away from Stacy. "Aww, you didn't think I'd just sit around while you saved him did you?" The Mermaimon asked bashing into Stacy to knock her away, any attempt to get to Clayton would be met with the digimon throwing her weight into the spirit tamer.
Things were looking worse and worse and Clayton didn't know if he could hold his breath for much longer, completely desperate Clayton called out in his own head for something, anything to come help him.
"Who are you?"
Almost as if answering his call Clayton heard something in his head, a voice. It was pretty faint but he knew he heard something. 'Clayton, Clayton Herron.' Clayton decided to answer, waiting a moment to hear something else.
"Clayton. I suppose ye be human. A landlubber at that I bet. Your kind can't survive down here."
Clayton made a pretty evident grunt of annoyance. 'Yeah I know that, I'm not here by choice!' Clayton shouted at the voice in his own head, it was pretty obvious wasn't it.
"Aye, by the sounds of ye panic you might be sleeping with the fishes soon. I suppose if ye wish it. I could grant you use of my power, however it comes at a cost. I save ye now and ye repay the debt later. Savvy?"
Clayton thought for a moment, he couldn't trust this voice could he? Especially cause it sounded a lot like a pirate, which is what he was going against. Still his lungs felt like they were going to explode and he knew he couldn't make it to the surface in time. "Alright, you have a deal."
"Hahaha, wonderful choice lad ye will have the command of the captain of the Dreadnaught, one of the most famous pirate ships of them all. Be proud!" As the captain said that a bright light would start to shine from the ocean floor, Clayton reached out towards it as a totem appeared from the light, slowly rising up towards the teen enveloping him in a bright light.
Clayton raised his hand in the air, data swirling around it as he pulled up his D-tector that had been in a death grip since he got grabbed. Slashing the data against it everything seemed to start shaking around him, quickly his form was changed from Clayton to that of what would seem to be a pirate, A captain Hookmon to be exact.
Raising his hand the Captain called forth something from the deep, from the same place the totem had just been a Ship would also start making its way towards the top of the ocean, slowly rising as Captain Hookmon jumped on top of it, rising upwards till it broke out on top of the ocean between the pirate and the passengers ship with Captain Hookmon standing on the front of the ship, arms crossed with a smile on his face.

Just as Adiramon was about to get the Mini Diving Kit to Clayton she felt the weight of Mermaimon crashing into her knocking her away from Clayton. Of course it couldn't be that easy. Sighing in frustration she turned her gaze toward Mermaimon putting the Mini Diving Kit away so she didn't lose it. A feet incredible seeing as in this form she didn't have hands. "Of course I didn't think it would be easy but I'll make you regret trying to sneak up on me."
Gathering the moisture around herself, which was easy underwater, she formed three whips of hard water near her as she said "Tempest Whip!" Knowing she had to take care of Mermaimon as fast as possible she thrust the three whips at the mermaid digimon. Unaware of the events on the ship or the conversation going on in Clayton's head she was forced into this fight.
Next thing she knew the movement of something rising to the surface caught her attention as a ship with an unknown digimon was rising to the surface. 'No way. Could that be Clayton?' Adiramon thought as she kept an eye on Mermaimon out of the corner of her eye in case she wasn't stopped by her attack.
OOC: Adiramon lashed out at Mermaimon with her Tempest Whip. Tempest Whip: Gathers moisture around herself forming three whips of hard water before she lashes out at opponents with them.

Zack leapt into the air toward the pinned Divermon, just because he was stuck to the railing for now didn't mean that he was going to stay that way. Not to mention Zack had never been in a fight that he hadn't deluded himself into thinking he could win. Both of his feet shot out, his heels digging into the soft part of the Divermon's throat before bounding away with a backflip that set him back at a safe distance.
"Gear Stinger!" Marigold shouted in her own turn, shooting out one of the barbed and serrated stingers from her rear section toward the stomach parts of the Divermon. All the two of them could do for even henchmen digimon that far out matched them was aim for the soft spots and hope that they hit something important enough to hurt.
Zack's attention was grabbed by something churning the surf off the bow. Something HUGE, like a sea monster about to break through the head of the waves. For a moment he thought that they might belong to the pirates, which would make an already bad and mostly outnumbered and outgunned situation even WORSE. But what actually happened was a massive pirate ship, cutting off the "pirate" ship from the cruise. Zack whooped and waved at the captain standing on the front.
"Took you long enough, assuming you are the cavalry we needed!" He shouted to the mon he suspected was a friend, if not clayton himself, pumping a fist in the air.

"Heh, sorry just you were wide open." the Mermaidmon taunted not seemingly too concerned about the whole ship thing until it almost hit her. Moving out of the way she wasn't able to avoid two of attacks from Stacy but managed to get out of the way of the last of the whips managing to swim around it. "W-what's that ship doing?" She questioned a bit distracted by the ship to launch a counter attack, now seemed like a good time for Stacy to hit the distracted Ultimate digimon even more.
Meanwhile on the ship the Divermon that was stuck seemed to not really be in too much of a hurry to escape for right now, though when Zack decided to attack them by kicking them in the throat the Divermon just let out a small cough, not really damaged by the attack but more so annoyed by the humans attempts then anything. "Annoying little pest." Managing to get at least his spear free the Divermon took it into his other hand holding it up aiming to spear Zack as he did his backflip.
Though that didn't happen given that the attack from Marigold threw his aim off, from his position aiming was already super hard so getting hit again in the stomach was even more annoying. Tossing the spear and having it land right in front of Zack instead of spearing him. "Will you STOP THAT!." Grabbing a rope attached to the spear he pulled it harshly back now instead aiming towards Marigold instead. It would take a moment before he could properly aim the shot though.
Above the water the Captain Hookmon adjusted his hat for a moment before going back to crossing his arms. Aside from the one jerk who was still stuck to the railings the others seemed to be waiting for what this new pirate ship was going to do, clearing his throat the pirate looked up with a smile before shouting. "Avast Ye Buccaneers and Land Lubbers. ye all stand before the captain of the Dreadnaught, such a poor display of pillaging. It shan't go unpunished." As he finished the Captain raised his hand for a moment pointing at the pirate ship, the crew on board seemed to get ready for him to launch an attack but instead of that he pulled his hand down giving a signal to the ship itself.
The cannons on the side of the ship seemed to spring to life, firing six cannonballs at the pirate ship itself smashing through its defenses and leaving the digimon on board concerned, they hadn't expected any resistance, let alone another ship! "Savvy?" The Captain Hookmon asked with a smile looking over at the other ship.
The Divermon seemed to take the hint and get off the cruise ship, jumping back into water to attempt to make an escape.
Combat Log: Captain Hookmon used Open Fire on the opposing ship.

It seemed her whips weren't enough to stop Mermaimon but the mermaid digimon seemed distracted by the ship rising from the sea. Not one to miss an opportunity, Adiramon smirked as she began to glow with holy energy. Her next move would likely serve up quite the surprise for Mermaimon indeed. Taking advantage of her ability to swim at torpedo like speeds she zipped into position so that to get to the surface her foe would have to go through her to do it. "Zodiac Burst!" Adiramon exclaimed her holy energy burst from her body as it took the form of a golden dog. If any of her attacks could be close to a signature one it would likely be this one as she had it so far in all her forms.
The sound of cannons were heard overhead which probably were coming from the new ship that rose from the sea and her suspicions were confirmed as she saw the Divermon attempting to escape. Not like she was going to stop them since she had an ultimate of her own to deal with.
OOC: Adiramon unleashing the holy power of her Zodiac Burst. Zodiac Burst: she channels her holy energy until it burst forth from her body taking the form of her zodiac sign which is a glowing dog.

Zack surged forward, grabbing the barrel of the spear gun and pushing it up so that the shot would go wide, slipping under the guard of the Divermon that was face him, pushing his shoulder and as much of his weight as possible against the Divermon's firearm, getting right up in the fanged monster's face and, in a grim tone to the sound track of the cannonball rocking the boat the pirate diver had come on.
"I'm going to remind you of a couple of things." He said, the glimmering of the visor of his custom helmet reflecting the eyes of the Divermon. "You are tied back to the railing of the ship and shit seems to be turning against you in the odds department. If you wanna keep taking pot shots at my kid, you had better be prepped for the consequences." Zack said, giving the Divermon a crash course. Whether or not he was outmatched and out of his own league, which was plain to see, the heroic and defending persona that he carried did not seem to falter for even a moment as he felt secure enough in the two spirit users on board and their accompanying talking sword to leave this one goon to him.

Well it would seem they didn't come too prepared to deal with another ship and this weird digimon that seemed to pilot it, the pirates seemed to decide to cut their losses and quickly started to turn the ship away from the others, hoisting their sail and moving away from the other ships, despite the holes they had in their ships they seemed to be making their way from the ships. "Hahaha, suppose they didn't expect a jolly good flogging! If I ever see Ye showing that Jolly Roger of yours again I'll make sure you'll get sunk!" The captain exclaimed but didn't seem too keen on following them. "Ayy, I suppose this Landlubber I'm borrowing Ain't got much fight left in em, Just hold on a little Longer Clayton me boy." Looking at his arms and wrists, data seemed to be leaking from them. it was pretty clear that he wasn't going to be able to maintain this form for much longer, much less enough time to handle a fight.
Meanwhile under the water the Mermaimon was a bit too preoccupied with what was going on above to notice what Stacy was doing down below, as she looked over at the charging digimon she got a nice look at a bunch of holy energy flinging the Ultimate level digimon backwards towards the retreating ship, which she decided to follow not wanting to be left behind. "Cheap Shot, Next time you won't be so lucky!" She shouted as she ran with her tail between her metaphorical legs.
Meanwhile back on the ship the Divermon wasn't able to get a clear shot thanks to Zack making it go wide outward over into the ocean, who then decided to point out how he had been left behind by his allies, looking past Zack the Divermon shouted. "ARE YOU SERIOUS, HEY! I'M STILL STUCK HERE YOU JERKS!" His so called friends didn't seem to care at the moment, there was also one that could be seen flipping him off. "You're a jerk! Choke on it!" A voice was heard as they left the digimon to his fate. With this the Divermon seemed to give up and just drop his gun, not before shoving Zack off him with his free hand. Though it was pretty clear he wasn't about to be fighting anytime soon.
With that though the CaptainHookmon from the other ship seemed to jump up and land on the other ship in a single bound before giving a smile with his hands on his hips. "Well, I do suppose I did a good job scaring those Scallywags away huh?" The Captain replied confidently.

CaptainHookmon's ship seemed to be enough to cause the pirates to clear out and Adiramon managed to hit Mermaimon with her Zodiac Burst. As Mermaimon delivered a comeback before fleeing Adiramon grinned and said "Should of been more alert of your surroundings, princess. Bye!" She then waved farewell to the fleeing marine digimon with her webbed paw a smirk still plastered on her face. Shame Mermaimon was such a sore loser but it wasn't important now.
Looking back up at the ship she dived off of she turned and swam for the surface breaking the surface as she launched herself into the air executing a front flip before landing near the Divermon that hadn't fled. Looking down at the Divermon she prodded him with her left front paw and said "Looks like our friends forgot somebody. Maybe we should return this small fry back to the sea unless he can be useful to us in some way."

"I can think of a bunch of uses. Dried and salted fish keep for months." Zack said in an almost psychopathic tone to the Divermon, tilting his helmeted head just long enough to make the would be pirate question whether or not the vigilante was joking. He turned away, though Marigold was keeping a very sharp insectoid eye on the unfortunate prisoner.
Zack walked up to the captain pirate Digimon, smacking him good naturedly on the shoulder and pulling his helmet free from his head. His helmet hair even more frizzy and patted down looking than normal because of water and salt that were omnipresent in the ocean air around them.
"I'd say so. it's not often that you get to see a bunch of hardened criminal get tossed out with the chamberpot." he said, throwing his head back in a deep, bellowing but exhausted laugh, he really did always give any fight one hundred and ten percent, even one he could never win. "I'd give Clayton a rest here for a sec, cap'in. Last thing anybody needs is for him to lose his sea legs and fall face first, the deck doesn't look particularly sanitary."

The Divermon was visibly disturbed by Zack's message, though he seemed to be quickly joined by Zu who reverted back to her Rookie form looking at the digimon. "Nah, I think it'd be a lot better sliced and diced." She said in the same eerie tone that the digimon couldn't tell if she was serious or not.
Though that was then joined by the Ranamon with her arms crossed. "You know we do need a new figurehead for our ship, I think the Divermon would make quite the perfect choice." With that it was pretty much the tipping point and the pirate seemed to faint with fear that he was just captured by a group of psychopaths, to which the Ranamon then simply let out a small laugh. "Once we get to port I'll turn him in, they should be able to get some information on his crew."
The Captain felt Zack smack him on the shoulder before talking about taking out those criminals, to which the captain responded by throwing his arm around the human with a smirk. "Ha, if those scallywags are hard I fear what counts for a soft criminal round these lands since 've been gone. Held your own for a human though. Had I still a crew I might attempt to bring you aboard!" Then the Zack mentioned something about letting Clayton go, which the Captainhookmon threw his arms up with a smile. "Aye, poor thing nearly drowned till I lent him my power. Sure beats spending me days in that ship on the bottom of the sea!" Slowly Captainhookmon walked next to the edge of the boat looking at his own ship before reaching his hand upward and down commanding the ship back into the ocean once more. With that the digimon backed off giving a short wave before he slowly disappeared leaving Clayton.
Who instantly fell to the floor on his knees coughing. "Clayton!" Zu shouted rushing over to him checking the human out, patting his back quietly reminding him to breathe slow.
"H-huh? I'm back on the boat?" Clayton asked confused as he slowly stood up. "What happened? Last thing I remember I was in the water.... Also why do I feel so tired?" Seemed he didn't have any memory of what just happened, though one could probably notice despite the spirit being gone the ship still remained in the water

Zack, Zu, and Ranamon succeeded in terrifying the Divermon into fainting but her favorite, which was reflected by the smirk on her face, was when they threatened to cook him. Ranamon's suggestion however seemed to be the breaking point as Divermon fainted. Adiramon prodded the prone ultimate with one of her paws and said "Shame the wuss fainted. I guess he isn't all that useful to us then. What a shame." At least he was going to be the authorities problem soon so that was one less problem.
She began glowing before returning to her human form crisis over for now and turned her attention to CaptainHookmon watching as he vanished leaving Clayton on the deck coughing. Zu wasn't the only one at his side as Stacy approached his other kneeling down also patting his back. "From what I could tell while dealing with Mermaimon, it seems a spirit inhabited your body then a ship rose out of the water and the pirates fled." The explanation was short, simple, and to the point. Given what Clayton had gone through he would hopefully appreciate not having a ton of information crammed into his head at once. She knew she would of been appreciative in such a situation.

"Sorry captain, I dedicated my life to the Vigilante game. Wouldn't be good for my image if I started running around under the Jolly Roger." He said with a shrug, waving the captain off as he vanished, leaving Clayton coughing on the deck. Zack didn't rush in to crowd the man, they didn't have a close enough relationship for that. He did silently admit to himself that his pride was hoisted somewhat by the compliment the captain gave him and that he was evidently scary enough to start that kind of reaction from the criminal, a banner day all around for his confidence in his abilities as a do-gooder.
"Yea! You totally sunk those guys' battleship!" Marigold said, pumping her arms in the air and buzzing around on the deck, the salty sea spray making her golden shell glitter even more brilliantly in the beating ocean sun overhead. Zack groaned, making a motion of pinching the bridge of his nose over his helmet. He needed to do a better job of socializing his kid if her first thought was to make a board game reference, especially one that played out.
"We have got to work on your banter skills at some point, little lady. I know you can do better than that."

Clayton was still a bit confused about the whole thing but looked down at his digivice in his hand, sure enough on the screen was a symbol different from his own spirit, in place of a sword it seemed to be of water. "Huh, I actually got a new spirit?" Clayton responded before quickly throwing himself into the air with a fist pump and a smile. "HECK YEAH! Now me and Zu can go show that champion spirit what for!" Zu seemed a bit surprised he seemed to bounce back that fast but was happy he seemed more fine now.
With Marigold's comment Clayton gave a smile. "Guess you could say I really rocked the boat!" That was probably a much worse and worn out reference, which even Zu seemed to realize.
"I think the only thing sinking right now is the quality." But hey, Clayton wasn't dead and they got a new spirit. Two birds with one stone.
'Ayy, Don't forget thought Clayton. Ye owe me a favor.' A voice echoed in Clayton's mind that the others couldn't hear. Glancing around for a second a hearty laugh echoed in his mind. 'As 've now me and you be sharing a vessel, I doubt they can hear me boy. Though there's plenty of time to repay ye debts. You've earned a spot of celebration for this endeavor!' The captain exclaimed, which Clayton just nodded.
"Uhh, you okay Clayton? You've been staring off into space for a bit?" Was he still lightheaded from being underwater so long, this caused Clayton to snap back to what was going on in front of him and he awkwardly rubbed the back of his head wondering if he should explain.
"Well, apparently that uhh spirit can talk to me now, in my head. I now have a pirate talking to me in my head that no one can hear." Clayton let out a small laugh scratching the back of his head. "Pretty sure if this was any other circumstance I'd be labeled as loony."
As Clayton mentioned that though the Ranamon walked over to the group with a smile. "I'm so sorry for what happened, thank you all for your assistance." With that said she quickly held something out for them, 3 tickets. "I'd like to offer these as tokens of appreciation. They're good for three free rides wherever you want." It wasn't much but seemed like the least they could do aside from like, actual payment.

"You and Marigold aren't the only vigilantes at heart, Zack." Stacy said before chuckling. Zack as a super hero was a sight enough but she couldn't picture him and his little bug as pirates as they would even struggle as the nicer kind.
Stacy scrambled back and got to her feet as it seemed Clayton had recovered rather swiftly and was celebrating getting his spirit. "Easy there, Clayton. Just because you can match the strength of an opponent doesn't mean you will necessarily win. It helps to know how you adversary fights then you can form a battle plan." Stacy said with words that had wisdom to them. Sure she didn't always follow said wisdom but she had a spirit's wisdom in combat helping her out on the instinctive side of things even when she didn't do something one could consider stupid.
When Clayton looked as if he was staring off into space she got uneasy for a moment as she would do that at times since she had epilepsy. When it was revealed it was his spirit talking to him she let out a breath she had no idea she was holding. Since her spirit was ancient and didn't really talk to her it was likely Clayton's spirit was much younger if it was able to still communicate with his host.
Then Ranamon came up to them offering them tickets for free rides and Stacy said "You don't have to do that for me, Ranamon. I was just helping out because it was the right thing to do. I really wasn't expecting a reward."

Zack looked down at the ticket that the Ranamon was offering him, reaching up to run his fingers through his hair and giving her a glinting smile that looked like it came directly out of a comic panel, he said something that would be groan inducingly trite if everyone around him didn't know he meant it one hundred and tend percent.
"Here's how you can pay me back. You keep that ticket and you wait until you see someone who really, REALLY needs it but couldn't afford it otherwise. They need to visit a sick friend or they need to get somewhere for a job or whatever and then, when you see that person, you give THEM that free ticket, no questioned asked, no mention of my name. Just pay me back with a random act of kindness." He said, giving the Ranamon a two finger salute before he turned back to Clayton, snickering to himself at the truth of the matter that he WOULD sound crazy is Zack wasn't already in on it, granted, they would all sound crazy all the time if they weren't all "in on it"
"Dad says that it helps to sound a little crazy in a crazy world." She said, parroting one of his strange, folksy conclusions that seemed to come out of his mouth like rainfall whenever he stopped to consider anything for even a second.
"No Stacy, we are not. That's what, the third time that you've ended up neck deep in it with us? Good to know we have some folks we can count on." He said, slipping his helmet under his arm and just taking a moment to breathe in the scene of laughing victory, one more tally mark in the good feels pile.
