William Pauwel IT IS TIME.

    Sit 'round all ye brave souls, and hear-tell of a story of the most classic variety. A tale of the high seas it be, of wicked pirates and brave sailors and friends long thought lost. And of course... Of outer space.

    Hikari Seaport is an idyllic kind of place, frequently full of sunshine and calm seas. Except for the occasional appearance of an Abyssal nearby, the naval base is typically a peaceful sort of place to be. Allies to the fleet might come to visit one of the many shipgirls, or to make a stop at Mamiya's for some delicious mariner's grub (i.e. curry).

Or, in the rare occasion... to intercept something that most definitely Should Not Be There.

Something like a literal Flying Dutchman.

    This one does not, however, have ghosts (probably). Instead, it arrives from on high, first appearing like a simple black speck against an otherwise perfect evening sky before its shadow gradually widens across the shipyard... and the vessel itself comes into view. It's every bit a galleon- an enormous, apparently wooden Man-o'-War, with the exception of the GIANT ROCKET THRUSTERS blossoming out of the back of the vessel like a particularly retrofuturistic flower.

Capping the great ship's main mast is a flag... A black flag. THE JOLLY ROGER with TWO EYEPATCHES.

And then come the cannonballs.

    The enormous ship sweeps down across the harbor, its side bristling with rustic, black-iron cannons that fire equally rustic, black cannonballs... That explode with distinctly un-rustic force. A figure stands himself up at starboard, planting a heavy boot down on the vessel's rail. His silhouette is vast and magnificent, stretching the jet black waistcoat wrapped around his scaly form to near the point of EXPLODING. His face is vaguely sahaguin, save for the massive corncob pipe in his sharp, pointy teeth and the TWO EYEPATCHES wrapped around his face. But it's fine, he can still see-- on account of the MASSIVE THIRD EYE at the very center of his face.

    "HARR! Ssssso this is where that rat bastard Sssssaturnheim is hiding those new friendssss of his, eh?" The pirate scrubs at his fishy chin with a set of fishy claws. His voice is... vaguely Slavic, except for the odd, serpentine hiss to his s's. "Well-- They'll rue the day they crossed SsssIGURD PLUTOVSSSSKI, Pirate King of the SSSSEVEN SSSSPACE SSSSEAS! HAHAHAHARRR! Now, ye rat bastards, GET ME THOSE RAT BASTARDS! HAHAHARR!"

Lines are thrown overboard. They appear to be actual, twined rope. Pirates begin to descend. Each one is literally an anthropomorphic rat with completely human hands-- and each one is brandishing a beam cutlass and a big ol' handcannon.

WHAT DO, BOATFRIENDS!?
Lima Ultimos There are sounds of a naval scuffling in the distance, explosions over the radio, and people talking like pirates. These are Lima Ultimos' favorite things, and therefore, he'll have to show up too!

Several minutes after the space pirates arrive, an actual Golden Age pirate ship begins sailing in on the horizon. Large, black, and rotted, the brigantine moves rapidly along the waves...heading straight for Hikari Sea Port. About a hundred men are manning it, and at the wheel is a weirdo in a pirate hat and coat, and with a venus fly trap growing out of his arm. He looks like some sort of undead creature!

As they approach, one of the pirates brings forth a telegraph, as Lima Ultimos begins typing rapidly into it, broadcasting morse code across the waves. It translates roughly to "THIS BE THE COMA NAVAJA. YER SCUFFLE SOUNDED LIKE FUN, SO WE BE JOINING IN. WHOEVER CLAIMS TO BE MORE FUN WILL GET US ON YER SIDE!"

And then the Coma Navaja turns to face both the port and the space ship. And begin blasting cannons indiscriminately! Guess if you don't want to get blasted, you have to convince the pirates!
Graf Zeppelin      It was a nice, peaceful day at Hikari Seaport.

     The birds were chirping.

     The Destroyers were frolicking in the fields.

     AND A MASSIVE PIRATE SHIP WAS FLOATING OUT OF THE SKY AND BOMBARDING HIKARI SEAPORT.

     BLAM!

     "WHAT THE FU-" BLOOM! ""Arugh!" Akebono jerked right out of her seat at her desk in her shared room with Nenohi, Kasumi, and the missing Naka. Literally falling to the ground, and away from her laptop, which she was typing in. She scrambles over to the window to see the chaos starting up and groans to herself. "Are you KIDDING me?"

     The door slams open, and there's Kasumi, breathing hard. "Akebono, get to the docks and suit up! Nenohi's already on her way!" And then she turns and bolts off, leaving the violet haired girl staring in momentary confusion. "-Hey. HEY! Wait a- God DAMN it, fine!" And then she bolts off as well.

     NOW

     The three destroyers, plus their flagship, Graf Zeppelin, launched from port, and burst out into the waters. The carrier adjusted her hat, grimly looking up at the coming gaggle of scurvy space dogs, a third of that actually literal, rappeling down onto the base grounds to pillage and plunder.

     "The mission is clear; rout these fools and send them back to sea, space, underwater, a volcano, where ever they came from. It doesn't matter. You have full authority to use the maximum capacity of your firepower. Now go!" The german shipgirl orders, thrusting out an arm. Three 'Roger's follow, and then Akebono, Kasumi, and Nenohi bolt off and make landfall. Kasumi and Nenohi pair off, turrets aimed, and then fired upwards at the ship's hull itself.

     Akebono takes a more personal approach, and dons a pair of brass knuckles to accompany her fitout. "You assholes picked the WRONG day for this!" She roared angrily, actually diving into a gaggle of pirates, fists flying and turrets firing. What? Beam cutlasses? Laser pistols? Fuck that noise! Graf Zeppelin takes a more hands off approach, overseeing the work of the destroyers, and deploying several planes that take to the sky to survey the battle from overhead, providing support fire here and there, but otherwise, not taking center stage...
Yuna Kagurazaka Well, it WAS a peaceful day, anyway; Yuna was doing some homework for her courses at Beacon Academy before the flying pirate ship came out of nowhere and started shooting at the port. Yuna's first response is predictable enough - she yelps in surprise and runs for some vague semblance of cover, only slowing to a halt at the sound of the pirate captain (excuse me, 'pirate king') laughing his scaly butt off and demanding somebody of whom Yuna has *never heard* and who pretty much couldn't possibly be hiding at Hikari.

And trying to discuss this situation with him peacefully doesn't sound like it's making much headway. Akebono's probably right about 'just blow them up,' even as poorly as that idea ever sits with Yuna.

"Just remember, 'Captain,'" Yuna says sadly as she looks up at the ship. "You brought this on yourself." A swirl of light and wind rises around her, starting from her feet and replacing her sailor fuku with the sleek armor of her Light Suit - and as she's transforming, ANOTHER pirate ship approaches. At least this one isn't flying, but Hikari Sea Port is going to be in danger from the crossfire. Yuna takes off running, heading towards the harbor proper as the little robo-faerie Elner blips into view next to her - and the armored forms of Jiina, Marina, and Erina fly towards her, coming from the nearest warpgate. "What's the plan, Yuna?" Erina inquires as the Matrix of Light forms up around their human leader.

"Let's see how hard that Putovski guy laughs when we're pushing him out of range!" Yuna replies, coming to a halt and taking a deep breath.

            "LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT *UP*!!! EL-LINE!!"

Cue the eruption of a pillar of light, with Yuna and the Matrix of Light ascending at the pillar's center; they're still rising into the sky when the light intensifies to the point that those five shapes can no longer be seen - and in the next instant, a single, much larger shape manifests, the radiant pillar shrinking and dissipating to reveal the Matrix Figure, El-Line, hovering protectively over the Fleet Daughters' home port.

"AS I WAS SAYING, WE DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO IT IS YOU'RE LOOKING FOR!!!" Yuna's voice thunders from El-Line's speakers - much louder than it might need to be, but Sigurd Plutovski made the second-biggest mistake you can EVER make when dealing with Yuna Kagurazaka: a complete disregard for the well-being of her friends. There's only one thing he could have done *worse* than that ... and if *that* somehow comes to pass, no force in the Multiverse will save him from Yuna's fury.

Fortunately, Yuna's not so much 'furious' as 'in high dudgeon' at the moment, and shows a comparable degree of restraint. "SHUGOSEIHEKI!!!" Yuna's voice rings out, a proportionally-to-El-Line-sized kite shield materializing on the Matrix Figure's left arm - and leading with the shield, El-Line flies straight at the flying pirate ship, not just to shield-bash some of the cannons, but to try and start pushing the ship out toward the open sea.
Lima Ultimos As more and more reinforcements come out, Lima Ultimos realizes something: they're fighting a navy. Navies and pirates don't get along well, and he has his share of bad history with them. Therefore, he loses all interest in them, as he shouts over in morse code, "THE PIRATE KING WINS ME BANNER BY DEFAULT! NO NAVY!"

And then, the cannons stop firing, briefly. They aim away from Sigurd. Instead, they're aiming up for Yuna, trying to blast her away from Sigurd's ship. "GIRL, YE NEED TO GET DOWN FROM THERE! OR YE'LL FORCE ME TO DISMOUNT FROM ME WHEEL, AND THAT'S NOT THE MOST FUN I CAN BE DOING!"
Gaonoir Let's be honest, that curry is one of the best reasons to stay here. Especially when eating is usually the best way for a Digimon to build their energy. In fact, Gaonoir was right in middle of helping himself to a bowl right when the cannonballs start hitting. The sound and shockwaves are sudden enough to fumble tipping the bowl back to dump it in his mouth and it ends up splattered on his head instead.

Alas, mouring for the loss of perfectly good curry will have to wait. At least, being dog-like, Gaonoir has little trouble licking most of it off of his head.

Or at least it's gone by the time he comes running out of the buildings, only to skid to a stop at the sight of the flying pirate ship broadsiding the port. Gloved paws clench tightly and another snarl emits from the canine, fangs showing and eyes narrowing in an almost feral fashion.

Erika comes hustling out a few moments after him, barely stopping soon enough to avoid tripping over the digimon. "Whoa." Immeadiately she's got out her digivice... If only to use the smartphone camera to snap a picture of the ship. Then of the pirate rodents descending from it. "... That's a lot of pirates. Pi-rats?" Her expression scrunchs in confusion as the D-Port just flashes red NO SCAN alerts on the screen. "And as fitting as that would be, they are apparently not Digimon."

"Doesn't matter. Erika. You know what to do."
"Uh." The girl looks at the D-PORT again. "Yeah.. but you sure that's necessary, Gaonoir?"
"They made the mistake of attacking one of the few places I feel accepted. I have no reason to hold back, with you or without you."
"Okay, okay! Geez, I was just making sure you were certain." Erika thumbed the controls on the device as Gaonoir took off running towards the invaders. "Digivice, Power up." Then gripped it tightly as she held it out at arms length with the glowing screen. "ULTIMATE DIGIVOLUTION, EXECUTE!" There's an eruption of digital energy from the device that surges out to envelope Gaonoir just as he's leaping towards a pack of Rat Bastards.

"BlackGaomon, ULTIMATE WARP DIGIVOLVE!" The dark energy swirls briefly and then a much larger form erupts from it, armored body slamming to the ground in a 'Superhero Landing' pose with enough force that the shockwave is enough to knock unprepared pirates away. Wolf-like helmet looks up just enough for eyes to be seen flashing angerly within as the dark shadowy cape briefly flaps behind the new form.

"Umbra Gaogogamon." Somehow the cold, ominous tone it is said in is more intimidating than the shouting his previous remarks were.
Rory White Another ship appears in the skies, starting as a blazing dot but slowing as it grows larger. The flames of re-entry die down long before it approaches, as well as slowing to sub-sonic speeds so as to not assault the battlefield with a devastatingly distracting sonic boom.

    But a VERY large ship - one the size of a large house, steel grey and covered in sensory gear and a handful of light weaponry that sprouts as it nears, with PLASMA THRUSTERS for propulsion at the rear and all around for manuevering. The lower thrusters burn solidly, allowing the ship to maintain altitude despite having no aerodynamic lift whatsoever.

    The COGNIZANT ODYSSEY, of Starbound Flotilla engineering to those in the know, is now lazily circling the battlefield at an inconvenient distance, blasting it with all sorts of active scanning...
Tommy Oliver     Traversing the Multiverse has been an exercise in awesomeness for people like Tommy Oliver. The green clad teenager seemed to be having a ball here at Hikari Sea Port. Walking calmly through the port with a pair of binoculars hanging around his neck, Tommy actually seemed to be doing something that people are hardly ever caught doing.

    Sightseeing.

    The binoculars are pointed to the sky in the beginning moments of the Descending Flying Dutchman! "That doesn't look good." is said to no one in particular since his friends were all too busy doing their own thing to come forth and see the sights of the sea port! Tommy's binoculars lock in on the black flag and immediately he starts backing up. Apparently, he understands the look of such a flag.

    Of course, then there's a retchful villainous speech from a creature that looks like it could belong to one of his greatest enemies and Tommy has seen enough. Pulling the binoculars over his head and tossing them aside just as those cannonballs start flying, Tommy stands right where he is when a couple of them make impact around him. His hair gets tossed to the side and he throws an arm behind his back, eyes narrowed on the Rat Flavored Pirates dropping from above.

    "It's Morphin' Time!" Tommy's hands go out with what has come to be known as a Power Morpher cradled between them. "Dragonzord!" There's a crackle and a flash of green lightning that strikes where Tommy is, perhaps even protecting him from the debris of cannonball shenanigans. When the lightning fades, though, there is but the Mighty Morphin' Green Ranger standing tall and proud in the foreground of explosions that may not have been there before.

    A fist clenches as the Green Helmeted Hero nods towards the clenched fist for some reason. His voice comes from within, somehow, "Alright, you dirty rats! Time for a little extermination!"

    Chosen battle cry used, the Green Ranger takes off into the air with an extended leap that can only be super powered, aiming for an aerial assault of spin-kicking of PiRats (get it?) that may still be getting their rope slide on.
Kotone Yamakawa Kotone Yamakawa has been coming and going at the port, often hauling cargo of various sorts in her ship the Blue Nose or throwing herself into training with her carrier gear. The Admiral had been correct she needs to do. So she's been trying to get to work more with it but this day's plans are going right out the window here. She was at the docks where her own ship has landed for the offloading of cargo. She was also hoping to catch up with some of the fleet too today. However then everything goes to heck as she's caught without weapons be it water fit or her normal gear out on the docks.

"What in the .... we're under attack?!"

She doesn't have time to get fitted out for water combat but she does have time to dash for the open cargo hatch and get an pistol from the emergancy locker she'll also send Rory a signal.

<<Hey Rory good to see you but I could use a little help here!>>

Meanwhile on the ship Slipbolt is working to get the ship's weapons online but that is coming from a cold start which could take a while.
William Pauwel Well this is turning into a properly piratical brawl. Like a whole bunch of sailors have gotten extremely drunk on space rum and are taking their distemperament out on poor, innocent bystanders. Except the sailors are pirates, the bystanders are naval personnel, and the rum is VENGEANCE.

The arrival of a SECOND PIRATE SHIP makes things EVEN MORE RIGHT AND PROPER.

    Plutovski does not stumble at all when cannonballs start pounding down his port side, for he is LARGE AND MIGHTY, and possibly evolved from some variety of intelligent, frilled komodo space dragon. Lima's bombardment does crack a few planks, but considering he quickly DECIDES TO JOIN THE WINNING SIDE, any damage to a truly spaceworthy vessel is MINIMAL AT WORST. "Hahahaharr! Glad to sssssee that ssssomeone ssseeesss sssenssse! Ye'll have a ssshare of the booty, lad! Or me name isn't SSSSIGURD PLUTOVSSSSKIII!"

    What does get his attention, however, is the GIANT TECHNOMAGICAL ROBOT slamming right into his starboard side. The entire vessel rocks dangerously as cannons are unceremoniously caved by an equally giant shield. "Harr. Sssso they think to bring a war machine to sssink The Black Eye do they? Well, two can play at that game! But we ssshall need some... distance. MISSSTER RATTIGAN, FULL BROADSSSSIDE! Fire the ANTI-GRAVITRON BEAMS."

    The starboard side of the vessel suddenly lights up with distinctly PURPLE fire. Yuna would find herself under a powerful kinetic assault, but not from projectiles-- but rather from the very foundations of GRAVITY ITSELF being turned into some kind of KINETIC ENERGY RAY.

    Well, he did say he was a SPACE PIRATE KING after all.

    The bombardment of Strange Gravity has its effects on the naval base as well. Some places crater. Others see mysterious and spooky events, such as Floating Destroyer Syndrome, and the up-falling of a whole mess of spare floater rings. The defenders are bombarded down below as well, of course-- though they may be more concerned with the continuous outpouring of Actual Scurvy Dogs and Literal Mutinous Rats.

Speaking of which!

    "SSSSATURNHEEEEIM!" One of the PiRats screeches, "WE'RE HERE TA PAY YE BACK FER TOSSIN' US OVERBOARD AT OURANOUS, YE BAST--*squeak!*" A fist abruptly interrupts his bold monologue, because there is a shipgirl punching him RIGHT IN THE FACE. The rat staggers back-- but his footing is sure! Sure as a space sailor's footing is sure, and he quickly recovers, swinging deftly at Akebono with his deadly BEAM CUTLASS!

    Other pirates are equally under siege. A gaggle are blasted back into the sea by a shadowy shockwave, others are taken out by deft pistol shots. One unfortunate and unusually cybernetic corsair is hit square-on by a power ranger's deadly kick and abruptly begins sparking and exploding like he were covered in cheap pyrotechnics.

    But still they fight on. The pirates knocked into the sea-- rats and dogs one and all-- paddle their way back in, with their beam cutlasses clenched in-between their teeth. Their BEAM TEETH. Others fire blasts of purple laser-fire from hand-held muskets, pistols or blunderbusses.

    Meanwhile, up above, Rory does pick up some... interesting readings though. The Black Eye's bombardment continues, though it seems to be drawing up some kind of STRANGE VOID ENERGY-- with a signature not unlike a second faint, but distinct, reading that suffuses the local seas.

    Aboard the vessel, Plutovski glowers at a nearby scout-plane. His single eye ripples with STRANGE ENERGY. Strange energy that it then FIRES as a bolt! "Power issss ssssufficient? Good! PREPARE THE TRANSSSFARRRMATION, MISSSTER RATTIGAN! We'll show these scurvy sailors our TRUMP CARD! HAHAHARR! But until then, keep up the bombardment!"
Yuna Kagurazaka One pirate ship was bad enough, now it's *TWO* pirate ships - and the second one starts launching cannonballs at El-Line, the metal spheres slamming into the Matrix Figure's armor with crackling flares as the defensive field lining said armor absorbs much of the impacts. Much - but not all; Yuna feels the impacts, not just from the force rattling through her super robot but from the accompanying drain. She could probably tolerate it for a while, if need be,

At least, that's what she's thinking up until anti-gravity cannons get put to use. Yuna ignites El-Line's thrusters to try and keep pushing, but the anti-gravitic force relentlessly drags the Matrix Figure away. "Nngh ... just RETREAT already, you stupid pirates!" Yuna snaps, bringing El-Line's right arm up as if trying to grab hold of Plutovski's ship and yank against the anti-gravity. "LIGHTNING SHOOT!!!"

... or as if she were taking aim, apparently. Her attack call is revealed as such by a flaring, crackling blast of radiant concussive force - like hard light taken to the next level of intensity, the first bolts directed against Plutovsky's hull. Then the next volley from Lima's ship hammers along El-Line's flank - and thankfully, some of it gets caught on Shugoseiheki, the kite shield doing its job of protecting Yuna/El-Line. "Do I look like I *care* what you'd prefer to do?" Yuna calls out to the interloper. "*WE'RE* trying to protect a place that's important to us; all *YOU'RE* doing is getting involved for a lark!!"

Fortunately or not for anyone, the next blast of the Lightning Shoot is aimed squarely at the mainsail of Lima's craft. Assuming it has one. Otherwise, she's trying to put a hole in his hull - which in itself should hint how unhappy the girl is.
Gaonoir Once Gaonoir is in his Ultimate form, Erika does the smart thing and ducks back into the doorway of one of the buildings. She's not really paying attention to which one. It's just that this is clearly not the sort of fracas she wants to end up in the middle off.

Though she still has a prime angle to snap a shot of Green Ranger kicking a cyber-pirate off his rope. "Damn! It's like right out of some kind of sentai show!" Yeah, everyone be absolutely not surprised that the cute nerd has a bit of otaku in her.

Gaonoir stands from his entrance, holding the massive vambraces of his forearms up to shield himself from the return fire, hit sparks flying left and right off the broad surfaces. Being knocked around wasn't enough to put these thugs out of business, unfortunately. For them.

"I am -not- losing another home." It's said in a cold yet calm, yet very predatory sounding tone. There's a crackle of dark energy arcing back along the forearm armor as three sword-like blades extend from the Dark Beast Knight's arm-guards. "MIDNIGHT STALKER"

Gaonoir becomes a dark blurr flickering in and out of sight, the technique somewhere between acceleration and short-range phasing, dashing from rat pirate to rat pirate as he slashes at them with the wicked warclaws he's now sporting.
Tommy Oliver     The sparks on his enemies seem to give the GREEN RANGER a spark of his own. Somersaulting off the connection of foot to space pirate, the Green Ranger drops back down to land with a heroic pose that could only mean one thing. It's time for a martial arts fight sequence of cinematic proportions.

    "Alright! Time to send you guys overboard." The Green Ranger raises his hands over his head and pulls them back down into a heroic martial arts pose that looks significantly less American and possibly more grainy than before. "Sik-HAH!"

    The Green Ranger takes off in a run towards a group of vile villainous vodder and takes to the air again! His body twists and a leg extends into a patented Dragon Divekick as he comes down into the center of the PiRat Patrol. The Green Ranger spins away from a swipe of beam cutlass and kicks at the skull of someone else. From there his body twists and goes for a sweep, before rolling backwards and back up onto his feet, just in time to leap over the body of a lunging beam teeth bite. A foot drops to knock that one into another one before his boots hit the ground again. "Hah-hah! Piece of cake!"

    Unfortunately, Green Ranger doesn't notice the PiRat off to the side and takes a blast of purple energy right to the Dragon Shield. "GAH!" It sends him into the air and into a spark spraying spin that ends with him smacking into the ground and rolling with the impact. With a grunt, the Green Ranger rises to a knee and a hand goes to his chest, the shield singed from the attack. His helmet shakes as he tries to get his head back on straight.

    "Guh, now I know why they call you guys 'pests'."
Graf Zeppelin      The chaos was mounting at this point, and Graf Zeppelin could hardly keep heads or tails of where this situation was going. But damn if she wasn't going to stay calm and try anyway. Her eyes swept left and right as she paces across base grounds. Occasionally, she has to aim her hand cannon and shoot down a charging piRAT, or a scurvy sea dog, or perhaps a literal parrot headed scallywag. But nonetheless, she keeps the line open, speaking orders to her unit and directing scouting and fighter planes above.

     Akebono meanwhile is RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A MELEE. Her fists are flying, clocking this fool, knocking that one out, braining that one piRATe in particular, but then there's one. One who DOESN'T go down so easily, and she finds herself having a classic FACEOFF. Amid the explosions and rush of heated wind, there is silence.

     "...Tch." She slams her fists together, and charges head on! Why? Because she has a DUMB IDEA. That beam cutlass slashes right for her, and it cleaves into her shoulder, causing the shipgirl to cry out in pain, but keep going. ...Keep going and plant her fist directly into his chest, then moving past her foe, and lurching forward with her fist, aiming to send him flying! If successful, she'll aim her turrets right in his path. "GO THE HELL BACK TO WHERE YOU CAME FROM, ASSHOLES!"

     BLAM!

     RIGHT AT THAT MOMENT however, gravity struck the base out of nowhere, and Nenohi and Kasumi suddenly find themselves beset by CRUSHING FORCE. "Ugh...!" Kasumi falls to one knee, and Nenohi finds herself on her hands and knees from the sudden PRESSURE being exerted over base grounds. And from all around, they can see those damn pirates running amok. "Not....going....to let you....attack...our base!" The side tailed girl growls, hobbling up to her feet, and aiming both arms forward, cannons aligning towards the path of a bunch of pillagers.

     Nenohi struggles to her feet next, grinning and shakily wiping her mouth of a bit of blood. "Hehehe...That's right, Kasumi." She says, standing back to back with her fellow destroyer. "Get outta here!" She roars, thrusting both arms forward as well, and lining up all of her turrets. "And come back once you know what day it is!"

     The volley of artillery that followed could only be described as awe inspiring. ...There's gonna be a ton of clean up after this, though.

     Oops.
Lima Ultimos "Everyone be caring about something! But if ye don't fight fer it...what's the point? Ye should be happy yer having a battle like this! It reinforces yer love of this place!" Lima Ultimos replies to Yuna excitedly, as a massive burst of lightning slams forward, rupturing through the mainsail and slamming down the hull. For any normal ship, that'd be the end; if it didn't sink, it'd atleast not be moving anymore.

But this isn't a normal ship. The sail keeps flapping, even if the ship's control is now lopsided and six crew members just got deepfried. Their bodies are tossed into the hold, as the undead pirates move up to keep the mainsail going. Indeed, this ship is incredibly odd, as the Captain climbs on top of the wheel, shouting. "It seems I only be having yer attention. So, ye want to protect this place, girl? Part of me wants to shoot back after ye kill some of me crew and blast me mainsail like that. But I have an even better idea! One that should surely get me famous!"

And then, the Coma Navaja begins rising out of the sea, and into the air. It turns it's back on Yuna, as only a single cannon is pointed to fire at her and the El-Line. Instead, it points straight for Hikari Sea Base.

And slams forward at an astounding speed, faster than the ship should have any right to be. It creates a small sonic boom at the ship moves to slam straight into the concrete fortress, planning on tearing through it as much as possible. The speakers scream up again. "THIS BE LIMA ULTIMOS, CAPTAIN OF THE COMA NAVAJA! I HAVE NO PLANS TO BE TAKING YER LIVES! BUT I ASSURE YE THAT IF YE DON'T WANT TO BE HURTING IN THE MORNING, THAT YE SURRENDER ALL YER LOOT! OR I'LL TAKE YE DOWN WITH YER BASE!"

The Coma Navaja then proceeds to begin firing at all angles at the Hikari Sea Port. Seems like Lima Ultimos is going to put the spotlight on himself, one way or another.
Rory White <<There's too much firepower being thrown around and most of my high-performance Morphs are undergoing maintenance!>> Rory radios back to Kotone. <<Battlefield analysis complete. Tacnet online.>> And this time, as the link's established...

    Well, Kotone will get a taste of what it's like to have a tacnet running off of SHIP GRADE SENSORS. Everything's in amazing high definition and all number of predictive algorithms are online showing possible weak spots on pirate ship hulls and calculated rates of fire, range... and the location of every combatant.

    All publically known Union members are colored Green. The pirates are obviously rendered with red outlines meanwhile.

    And within the depths of the Odyssey's commanding computer systems, Rory's consciousness is focusing on.... all of it, really. She wouldn't be a very good AGI otherwise. But the Green Ranger's getting extra attention - she's never SEEN moves like that before, or one against many go NEARLY so well for the one.

    She's doubtless taking notes.
Yuna Kagurazaka There are very few words which can adequately describe what a stupid move Captain Lima Ultimos has just committed to.

From the start of the engagement, Yuna's been focusing on the goal of protecting Hikari Sea Port and all those who reside or work there. She's even *said* as much - and to no real avail, as both of the pirate ships just keep on attacking ... and then the Coma Navaja turns its back on her, accelerating straight towards the naval base at calamitous, if not *suicidal*, velocity. But even if it somehow wrecks the ship itself - and given how little the blast to its mainsail did, Yuna's not taking that for granted - the damage to *Hikari* will be catastrophic.

They've fought off Confederate and Abyssal attacks and come through it in one piece; Yuna's not about to let a piratical lark ruin the port which has come to mean so much to her, personally. She has too many friends at stake - Nagato, Kuma, Graf, all the other kanmusu she's met - to let them down.

"LIGHTNING SWOOOOOOOORD!!!!!"

El-Line's right arm reaches out, radiant power flaring once more - but instead of a simple bolt of force, the energy intensifies and takes material, physical form, a large sword with its metal blade crackling with light coming into existence in the Matrix Figure's hand. And while it's not the most colossal of blades - it's actually fairly modest as ship-cleaving swords go - Yuna intends to make the most of it, diving at the Como Navaja as the Lightning Sword flares with channeled power -

"TORYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!"

- and she attempts, the size of her blade notwithstanding, to simply chop Lima Ultimos' ship into two uneven pieces.

Never mind that the ship has a crew. Never mind that the crew actually has *life signs* (of some sort) that El-Line's sensors can detect. Ultimos made his decision as soon as he began an all-out attack on Hikari ... and Yuna can no longer afford to be merciful.
Kotone Yamakawa Thing are just going on full on pirate with the pirate movie almost. A really crazy B movie pirate movie, Kotone muses.

<<it's fine it's still good to see you!>>

She'll get a link now and she's got some pretty heavy scanning system pumped into her head. She now seeds where there's number of hostiles, allies and otherwise. It's better than what even she can get from her ship so she's quite thankful for that bit.

The Blue Nose's weapons are taking pot shots at the hostile pirates while Kotone is going to charge into the nearest group of pirates that have managed to make landfall as she's trying to dive them back into the sea. She's doing this by opening fire with her pistol as she move in towards them and takes what cover she can find along the way.

"Do not make me start on the bad pirate puns! JUST GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE GO BACK TO WHERE YOU CAME FROM!"
Lima Ultimos As the Coma Navaja slams forward recklessly, Yuna refuses to let that happen. Her massive blade begins to slice down, attempting to cut the ship in half. And as the Captain, Lima Ultimos can't abide by that. "Tigerbabble, take the wheel and keep on course! I'll hold us together." One of the pirates, the first mate, runs forward, grabbing the wheel. Meanwhile...

Lima Ultimos dashes into the middle of the ship, right as the sword splits down.

The blade sears him in half, holy energy melting his skin as blood sprays and burns up around him, and as the ship explodes at his feet. The captain is cut straight down the middle, perfectly, as is the ship, pirates spilling into the sea below. Certainly, they should be stopped, or even slowed.

If they were less determined men, that was. But this is a crew with belief that they can survive. Belief in their captain. As the ship is split down the middle, it howls, rocking, as the wood refuses to remain split. It lurches forward, knitting itself back together and pulling the ship back into a whole, slowly. It's still weak, and nowhere near recovered, but the ship refuses to die.

Same goes for the captain. He's certainly split in half, but he doesn't fall. He doesn't move. And he doesn't die. His flesh begins to slowly knit itself back together, as the pirate leans against one of the few still standing masts. The ship does not slow down. The cannons are still fired, if only by the remaining crewmembers. The horribly maimed Lima Ultimos stares towards where Yuna ended up, as he smiles widely. "Ye have passion in you. That was a good strike. But the thing is...we have passion too. I ain't never be letting someone like ye get in the way of ME DREAMS! TIGERBABBLE, FULL SPEED AHEAD! She got me with some...light-y thing, I ain't be moving for a while, and the ship's gonna be needing some time to fully stitch up. GIVE EM HELL!"

And then the Coma Navaja rushes back forwards, ramming full speed into the Hikari Sea Port. Cannons continue to fire, creating a living hell as they smash into the walls around them. The captain does nothing but grin at his enemy, as once again, he refuses to die.
William Pauwel     What a fight, like one straight out of a storybook. Brave warriors defending their home against a TERRIBLE, PIRATICAL SCOURGE! A giant robot doing battle with not one but TWO giant flying pirate ships! Down below, cartoonish, yet roguishly handsome freebooters lay siege to a once-pristine naval base and are met in battle by a squadron of fierce defenders!

Someone could make a movie about something like this.

    Explosions blossom across the dockyards, airbursting explosive rounds detonate as their timers run down. Pirates wither under the harrowing bombardment as ACTUAL IJN DESTROYERS begin shelling their advance. They're joined by means of ORBITAL BOMBARDMENT as the Blue Nose starts opening up with its own guns!

    Elsewhere, a shadowy monster of the digital persuasion begins living up to his Big Bad Wolf appearance. Claws shred through one ratty pirate, then another, then a third, leaving sparking, cybernetic wrecks strewn across the docks! But the last one he strikes at-- has a friend.

That is not a rat pirate what steps in to take Gaonoir's hit.

THAT IS A DOG PIRATE.

    "Hrrrrr," the Dog Pirate growls, catching one claw in a particularly large beam cutlass and the other IN HIS TEETH. His glowing, plasma-torch teeth. The dog pirate chomps down as his ratty buddy steps out beside him and fires a quick blunderbuss burst!

    ELSEWHERE STILL a Green Power Ranger is doing what a Green Power Ranger does best. He kicks one rat right into the ocean, dodges another's strike as a whole bunch of the piratey bastards circle around him like sharks. For some reason, only one comes at a time, allowing Tommy to successfully punch out several of them. IS THIS THE POWER OF THE POWER RANGERS!?

Wait, no, that one just shot him.

    And now all of them are pointing their guns at the Green Ranger. Some of them are even firing! Pirates can and will shoot a man while he's down, apparently.

Speaking of pirates.

    A great big LIGHTNING FLASH smashes into the side of the vessel. The Black Eye's starboard side smolders and burns, its once pristine flank crumpled by the blast of hard light. But Plutovski does not seem perturbed! No, he is grinning, in fact! "MISTER RATTIGAN!" He yells, making his way up to the helm. "Power levelssss are ssstable. IT'S TIME!"
William Pauwel TIME!? Time for what?

Time for...

THE TRANSFARRRMATION!!

    Plutovski's shark-like maw parts, revealing not one but THREE lines of pointy, bladed teeth. He grabs hold of the wheel with one hand, and with the other, he PUNCHES RIGHT INTO THE MIDDLE OF IT.

    Purple light suddenly erupts from betwixt the Black Eye's wooden(???) planks. The entire vessel shudders, its form seems to come undone as a whirlwind of violet force washes out from it, protecting the ship from those who might try to interrupt it.

    Inside, the ship continues to shift and rearrange. Its thruster column folds back and away, taking with it the entirity of the stern. The rest of the ship follows, its port and starboard sides drawing away, revealing the distinctly mechanical and definitely futuristic interior workings of the great vessel.

    The ship's flanks shift, hands unfolding from port and starboard as they split at their midsection, forming great, gun-covered arms. Legs fold out from the inner portion of the vessel, both blocky and covered in nearly black, purple-tinged armor. The forecastle moves up, it and the prow forming a strong, wedge-shaped chest.

    The thruster column returns with the vessel's aft, sliding down its back to become a massive BOOSTER PACK. The forecastle itself falls down onto the massive figure's shoulders and neck, joining there with a flash of purple light as it FORMS THE HEAD. A head that somehow looks almost exactly like Plutovski's, at that.

The masts fall away, fuse together, and the sails unfurl into threads of PURE ENERGY before reassembling into a GIANT LASER BLADE. A quartet of anchors launch themselves from various places on the vessel, joining together into a ring that then begins emitting a field of purple light like some kind of ENERGY SHIELD. The machine takes one in its right hand, the other in its left, and then sweeps forward with a great and mighty SLASH. The PURPLE TORNADO-SPHERE explodes, revealing--

                SUPARRR DIMENSIONAL GALLEON - DAIPLUTONGER Z                

    "HAHAHAHAHARR! BEHOLD," Plutovski's voice bellows from EVERYWHERE as the massive prow-chest seems to fold open, revealing... a giant, black-iron cannon. One that begins glowing with TERRIBLE PURPLE LIGHT. "THE TRUE FORM OF THE BLACK EYE! Now... WE END THIS! The Charon Cannon is NEARLY CHARGED! HAHAHAHARR!"
Graf Zeppelin      And RIGHT AFTER The Black Eye finishes transforming into SUPARR DIMENSIONAL GALLEON - DAIPLUTONGER Z, it came.

     IT CAME SKY.

     A shadow is cast over the great and giant lord of piratical machines. The marvel of the Plutovski Fleet. One that every last member of the crew has pinned their hopes and dreams on.

                                  K A B L A M !                              

     From the sky, a HUGE THING comes crashing right down on top of the SUPARR DIMENSIONAL GALLEON - DAIPLUTONGER Z. It...It looks like some kind of....space battlecruiser!? It's huge! It's decked out in white and gold and orange, sleek and beautiful. It was made for piercing through the void of space like a silver bullet through the heart of a werewolf on the night of a full moon. It was here.

     And with it's arrival, it sends the gigantic robot TOPPLING FORWARD, and then CRASHING right into the tail ends of the cleaved portions of Lima's Coma Navaja, and the three craft pileup goes hurtling down into the base grounds with a massive crash and a huge dustup, sending piRATS, space dogs, parrots, and all other manner of spacefaring scallywags from the deepest corners of the void flying every which way.

     .........................................

     Silence. Pure and utter silence is what follows in the aftermath of this cataclysmic collision.

     And then, from the MYSTERIOUS CRAFT uptop, there's a blip, and then a fwoosh as a holographic screen flares to life, projecting into the sky. And there, everyone, and I mean absolutely everyone present can just look up and see....

     "Heeeeeeey! Hi everyone!" It's Naka. Everyone's favorite Fleet Idol, NAKA-CHAN. And she's....she's wearing some kind of skintight futuristic body suit, with a tattered jacket over it, and a holo visor up in her hair, not in use. "Phew! It looks like we made it in time, huh Will?" She asides to someone off screen, grinning and winking playfully.

     And then she looks back to the screen being projected and turns a little more serious. "Hey! Sigurd Plutovski! I've got a message for you from Saturnheim! He says that you're kind of a huge jerk, and that Pluto's not really a planet anyway, so...." Naka winks, and then waves a hand dismissively. "...you've been kicked out of the club! Sorry!"

     What?
William Pauwel     Someone staggers in from off-screen! He's got a SKULL AND CROSSBONES bandanna up over a familiar visor, and underneath that he's wearing what appears to be an old Royal Navy uniform, except that it's unbuttoned down the middle, and the tassels appear to be made of some distinctly glowy material. It's... It's definitely William Pauwel, judging by his face, and the fact that he's covered in grease. "Yeah, but we had t' gun the engines somethin' fierce to get here on time. And the impact crumpled the hull- wasn't exactly a soft landin', y'know? Dunno if I'll be able to patch that hole--"

Oh. He's... He's on camera.

    "Oh! Howdy y'all!" Will says with his usual grin. "Or. Uh. Avast, me hearties! Yo-ho! Uh, that's how they do it up there," he gestures vaguely skyward."

Well.

This certainly is a thing.
Gaonoir Gaonoir's blitz through the pirate ranks is brought to a halt by, of all things ironically enough, another canid. With energy sword -and- teeth. The former locking between the blades of the dark wolf's claws, the latter grabbing onto the opposite arm. Sparks crackle ominously from the contact points as the two are more or less staring each other down, even as shots from the rat-bastard hiding behind his crewmate zinging off Gaonoir's armor. Nor does it stop Gaonoir from using an armored foot to kick another pirate away without turning face from his weapon-locked opponent.

Meanwhile, one of the space galleons is transforming into a giant robot. With a giant cannon.

Then a shadow passes over, the fight briefly stopping to look up as -another- space ship cruises in to crash atop the robo-galleon, and crash it all into the other ship over. The resulting shockwave sendings the Beast Knight's cape flapping wilding and dramatically behind him, dust and air whipping around the two fighters but not breaking their locked stance. They're both -that- determined.

The best part? Erika is getting practically all of this recorded on her digivice/smartphone. You can bet there is going to be a new String Theory Board about space pirates with transforming super robot space galleons and ship-idols going star-treking up within the week.

In the lull that follows... Gaonoir proves that while he may not be Evil he is still a big dark jerk. The front of his armor opens very much like a mouth, and the electrical cannon within fires more or less pointblank in the face of the Scurvy Dog that had been grappling with him.
Kotone Yamakawa She's fighting the pirates how is she dealing with pirates? How in Heaven's name is this even going on? She's knows the multiverse is a strange place but this really is something new to her and she stares at what she's fighting. Then she stares at the crazy robot ship things and she just gapes.

"Why is this even happening?!"

She doesn't have the fire power to deal with this thing but she's damn well going to order Slip Bolt to open fire with her ship's missiles and turrets, and all the damn missiles She may have just given the pirates Circus Tickets there. This will leave Kotone's ship without any missiles and she's opening fire for what little good her pistol will do against something like the pirate's super robot.

"MISSILE BLASTING STORM!"

Kotone couldn't help that things are insane she might as well embrace it.
Tommy Oliver Cut To: Angel Grove, California - Command Center

    "AY-YA-YA-YA-YI! Zordon! Look!"

    The fully sentient, multi-functional automaton known as ALPHA 5 flails his widdle robotic arms as he worry-waddles from the Command Console to the Viewing Globe.

    Behold! The Viewing Globe: The Green Ranger is kicking some PiRat Tail until he gets blasted by a PiRat Sniper! Even grainer footage with a smoky filter!

    "I see it, Alpha. Do not worry. Tommy can handle himself." The deeper and wiser voice comes from the floating head image with a blurred mouth that flickers back and forth from above. "But just in case, alert the others. He may need their assistance."

    "Right away, Zordon!" Alpha 5 stumbles over to the Command Console and starts pressing buttons.

Cut To: Hikari Sea Port

    The Green Ranger is back on his feet and seems to have recovered from whatever brutal attack he had just suffered. As another set of PiRat Patrollers lined up to take him down execution style. The sound of the Green Ranger smirking can be heard since there's a plate over where the mouth of that helmet should be. It's weird.

    "Heh. Alright." The Green Ranger swipes at his side and his hand has full control of his signature weapon: the Dragon Dagger. The Green Ranger swipes it in front of him a couple of times before hopping back when another blast of purple strikes the ground in front of him. He skips to the side as another shot almost catches him. And for the next few seconds the Green Ranger is a twirling, sliding, flipping and somersaulting Power Blur as he dodges those PiRat blasts. How he manages to come out the other side is a matter of style, luck and maybe some TACNET boosting. Either way, there's a moment of pause that the Green Ranger gets to give that Dragon Dagger a stylish twirl of its own. "Sorry guys. But you're gonna' have to do better than that." The Power Ranger performs yet another kata because you have to know he's talking somehow, right? "Time to shiver your timbers! SIK-HAAAAAAAAAH!"

    As the Green Ranger draws the Dragon Dagger up to his shielded chest it begins to glow a soft green color. As the dagger glows, the Green Ranger takes a step forward and performs a mighty single swipe in front of him. However, as the Dragon Dagger passes through the air, the glow peels off and into a Power Storm of Green Lightning that arcs through the air and off in the direction of those Potshotting PiRats! Whether timbers get shivered or not, the Dragon Dagger Dragon Strike has been initiated.

    Moments after the Green Ranger's counterattack, things happen. Giant Robot Transformation Ship Collision Things. Somewhere in the middle of the Triple Ship Crunchalot that goes down, the Green Ranger manages to stay standing. He looks up at the chaotic collision's initial aftermath and his head nods as he offers the only statement a nineties superhero can make at this exact moment in response to the craziness that just went down.

    "Whoa. Awesome."
Yuna Kagurazaka Yuna's desperate attack - not quite 'all-or-nothing,' despite the risk - fails ... but worse than just the fact that Hikari Port has still taken the hit which El-Line was trying to prevent?

Lima Ultimos is still *LAUGHING* about it. Revelling in the destruction. He took the impact of the Lightning Sword on his undead person as the blade cleft through his ship, and he's STILL treating this, not like the life-or-death battle it is for the defenders' side, but like some fun little game ...

And people are suffering. Yuna can't know how much damage she's prevented to the port, but she was holding out for 'all of it'. She can only pray, in the back of her mind, that nobody is dead - but every part of her mind *except* that back corner is starting to ignite with fury. Elner knows it best of all - the robo-faerie, now part of El-Line's systems, can detect the surge and even *see* the rage on Yuna's face -

Rage which is diverted by the transformation of the Dimensional Galleon.

Rage which is momentarily stymied as Naka and William descend from the heavens above, flattening Daiplutonger Z and interrupting the Charon Cannon in the nick of time.

Lima Ultimos probably just had his unlife *saved* by Naka's return in particular - but once Yuna gets her head back together, El-Line simply swings one arm, its palm crackling with holy, radiant, concussive force - and tries to slap Captain Lima Ultimos of the Como Navaja right off the deck of his ship, probably along with a bunch of his crew *IF* the slap connects with anything smaller than the mast itself, or what's left of it.

Hit or miss, El-Line then starts trying to just push the pirate ship back out to sea, thrusters thundering as Yuna puts everything she's still got into bodily removing Lima and his ship and his crew from the vicinity of Hikari.
William Pauwel Alas poor Superdimensional Galleon, we knew thee well.

    Sandwiched pathetically between an undead zombieghost ship and a totally futuristic SPACE BATTLESHIP NAKA, the greatest hope of the Plutovski Fleet sparks and burns and smolders. Something explodes near the point where its neck joins its collar. A hatch pops open at the very top of the once mighty battle robot as Plutovski himself hauls up from the wreckage. "T-that tentacle-facccced bassssstard had the gall to vote ME out of Davy Jonessss' League of Corsairssss, Kingssss and Rivalssss!? And me sssship! Me poor, beautiful sssship!"

    He turns towards the big, orange thorn in his side, mouth suddenly frothing with SPACE FURY. "You. You landlubbing sssea cowssss! It'sss all your fault! I'LL TAN YER HIDE!"

Or, he would, if Yuna wasn't PUSHING THE BOATS BACK OUT TO SEA. Captain Plutovski stumbles, almost falling over on himself! "What!? What're ye doin'!? This is me boat yer pushin'! Sssstop thisss! Sssstop thisss at onccce!"

    "Uhhhh, Miss Yuna?" Will says from Inside The Other Boat. "Uh, yer kind've pushin' us out too. I don't know how big a hole we've got, but we'll probably sink if we uh. Go too far??" H-hopefully she's not too angry to just keep going regardless.

    MEANWHILE, the pirates are... not having a good day. The canid cyborg grappling with Gaonoir seems at first to have his counterpart locked down, but while he has endured much in the way of cybernetic enhancement, he still does not have a GUN IN HIS CHEST. The pirate's voice rises in a brief, scared whine that's abruptly cut short when Gaonoir opens fire.

Neither that pirate, nor his ratty friend, were ever seen again.

Probably.

    Meanwhile, the Green Ranger has somehow eluded his premature demise through the magic of MIGHTY MORPHIN' POWER. He strikes with the fury of the GREEN DRAGON, sweeping waves of destructive energies through the piratey firing squad. They flail backwards, each one going up in a flurry of pyrotechnic sparks as they're sent hurtling through the air! The camera angle switches every couple of seconds to catch a couple in mid-flight before cutting away again to show the lot of them spark a few more times... AND EXPLODE.

The Green Ranger's power is great indeed.

    Meanwhile, missiles. Missiles everywhere. Missiles explode all over a bunch of pirates, sending them flying. Missiles also explode all over the trio of crashlanded vessels. Plutovski screams as he's knocked clear, rocket artillery exploding all over his precious Daiplutonger Z. "Uh, miss Kotone!" Will calls, "We're still here too! Uhhh. Naka, maybe we aught to... to get out of here?"
Gaonoir A bit of smoke hisses out from the weapon before the armor ratchets shut around it and Gaonoir pushes himself back onto his feet, cape giving another vagely dramatic flicker behind him before settling as things are slowly calming down as most of the pirate invaders have been run off or put out to sea on a permanent basis.

Then it swirls about him as the armored wolf turns and springs back to where Erika is lurking in the doorway. Scoops her up in one arm and in a single mighty bound leaps to the top of the building and into the air.

"Aaaaw!" Erika whines from the crook in his arm. "I was getting such good pictures too."

"Your pictures are fine from here," Gaonoir retorts as he turns to face the Seaport below, hovering, cape still flicking now and then behind him. "But I don't trust that one of both of those ships aren't going to explode. Or that lunatic self destruct it or something."

"Good point, I suppose." Erika flips through the pictures she's been taking to get back to the one of the Green Ranger Kick. "I wonder if I print this out I can get that guy to sign it."

It's hard to see through the eyehols of his helmet, but Gaonoir is totally rolling his eyes.
Yuna Kagurazaka Oh right, Naka and Will still kinda need a rescue

Fortunately, as long as the pirates don't manage to fire up their engines again, objects in motion will tend to remain in motion. It's a strain on El-Line's engines (and thereby draining Yuna herself), but once the ships are floating away from Hikari, Yuna stops pushing. "This is gonna get bumpy, Naka, Will ... hup!"

And with that warning, El-Line zips ahead further, trying to push Naka's and Will's craft out from 'in front of' the vile pirates' vessels. There's no way El-Line can CARRY their ship back to shore, though, so Yuna has to do the ersatz-tugboat thing one more time - trying to support the ship so it doesn't sink, as well as pushing it in towards the harbor. "Any kanmusu who can go full-ship mode," Yuna transmits, "I think I could use some help ...."

'Could use some help' is an understatement, at least by Elner's judgment. As soon as Yuna can stop feeding power to sustain El-Line's systems, she's probably going to just collapse into sleep and let her transformation revert. Keeping HER from sinking might be the next challenge for her allies.
Graf Zeppelin      "Wow, those are a LOT of missiles." Naka says casually, seeming completely disconnected from the threat initially.

     And then she realizes. "WOW THOSE ARE A LOT OF MISSILES!" She scrambles and brings up a holographic steering wheel, along with a whole bunch of other navigation doodads. "EVASIVE MANUEVERS EVASIVE MANUEVERS!" She cries, starting the engines back up, and then raising her precious SPACE BATTLESHIP NAKA up and out of the wreckage of the other two ships, with gracious assistance from Yuna's El-Line.

     And while she does so, she smiles sweetly at Plutovski through the holoscreen and waves cutely. "Seeya Siggy~ Maybe one day the scientific committee of the planets'll take pity on you and declare Pluto a planet again! Then you can rejoin the club!"

     FWOOSH, the thrusters kick up, and SPACE BATTLESHIP NAKA putters and floats into the air to avoid the remainder of the wrath being visited upon their foes.

     "Thanks, Yuna!"

     Naka and Will were going to have some /explaining/ to do.

     As evidenced by Graf Zeppelin, Akebono, Nenohi, and Kasumi all staring listlessly up into the sky.
Kotone Yamakawa Kotone Yamakawa dopes better than she hoped with this, and then she realizes she's gone a bit over kill with the missiles.

"Oh FF...."

She orders her ship to cease fire she did a bit deal of over kill there maybe she did go a little overboard and is ordering her ship to cease fire but it seems there's not much left for her to do there she orders her ship top stand down an d she's now starting to run. She think Will is right.

"Yes it's time to get going!"

With that Kotone is going to try to get clear and her ship's already on the move there's not time for her to even beam up, there's time for running to get clear however she's also still kicking herself for her lack of thought about Naka and Will being so close in.
William Pauwel     Thanks to Yuna pushing them out of the Three Ship Pileup and Naka suddenly GUNNING THE ENGINES, she and Will escape the vast majority of the TERRIBLE MISSILE IMPACT. The Space Battleship Naka sails up to a holding position over the naval base, its glorious Sendai-colored hull marred only by the GIGANTIC HOLE in its bottom end. Turns out ramming a giant robot right into a second ship kind of punches your armor right in.

"Well!" Will huffs, crossing his arms boldly across his chest. "All's well that ends well, I guess! That was a pretty crazy adventure, huh Naka?"

And yet none of it will ever be explored on-camera, except maybe in an inevitable(??) flashback arc.

MEANWHILE, DOWN BELOW.

    "YOU FILTHY, MUTINOUSSSS DRECKSSSS!" Plutovsky screams, clawing his way towards his once-great ship. "Ye'll never take her in one piece! I'll have my sssswan ssssong right here!" There's a... little remote control in his hands. With a big red button on it. "Yahahahaharr! SSSO LOOOONG!"

*Click*

...Nothing happens.

*Click click click!*

"Harr!? Why isn't it going boom!? There wassss sssupposssed to be an earth-sssshattering kaboom!"

MEANWHILE, IN SPACE, SOMEWHERE.

    A great, tentacle-bearded man looks on as a tiny device in the distance blossoms into a cataclysmic explosion, the likes of which is only rivalled by the birth of a small star. "Hrrrrm," the man says, rubbing furiously at his tentacle beard. "Self destruct device, eh? That was a close one."

A distinctly translucent figure drapes across the man's arm, "Ahh, Alphie. This is what happens when you take things just because they look important." She sighs deeply, "Why, if it didn't start beeping right then and there, we'd be space dust! Or, you'd be space dust. And then we'd be together again." Beat. "Pooh."

"Haarrrr, well! At least we got away in time, eh? Hahahahaharr!" Captain Alphador von Saturnheim unleashes a great, rolling guffaw. It seems to carry through space itself, all the way to a distant blue marble.

MEANWHILE, AT HIKARI SEAPORT.

    "SSSSSS---" Plutovski's hand trembles indignantly. His one eye pulses with pure, unadulterated fury. "---SSSSSSSS---" Only ONE MAN could do such a thing to his PRICELESS SELF-DESTRUCT DEVICE! "SSSAAATUUURNHEEEEEEEEEEEEIIIIM!"

Well.

The pirates are in full retreat now, at least! All of them paddling out to sea like the scurvy rats and also dogs that they are. Plutovski himself tries to rise, stepping right out of his boots to reveal a pair of mechanical peg legs... That immediately transform into MINIATURE ROCKET ENGINES. "Ye lot haven't sssseen the last of Ssssigurd Plutovssski! I SHALL RETURN!"

He attempts to rocket the hell out. Unless someone stops him, that is.
Yuna Kagurazaka As long as he's *leaving* with no further damage done, Yuna doesn't have a reason to stop him.

... which is a really good thing, too, because as soon as the Space Battleship Naka demonstrated that it could hover under its own power? El-Line disintegrated, with Elner, Jiina, Marina, and Erina rematerializing in their independent forms, and Yuna kinda collapsed on ... well, whatever was most directly underneath El-Line's cockpit at the time. She also isn't in her Light Suit any more, but back in her SDP fuku.

She's also fast asleep, quietly snoring up a storm, because that wore her out *hard*.
