Jakes mother unwrapped herself from May to hug Jake for a much-needed reunion, May herself simply slide down against the wall watching the scene while holding the area that was becoming a darker shade of red mixed the white of her fur as her blood dried. Kappa who had been rummaging around in the back room came to the front and knelt down next to May checking her wound before asking what happened, May being her usual self replied in a depressive way, "Ah, I gained quite a bit of weight so I wasn't able to dodge an attack meant for me because I'm so fat and slow, please forgive me~!" Kappa focusing on stitching up Mays wound would say nothing to her words of depression and within minutes was finished with his job and stood back up joining the others.

Using her leg muscles May slowly got back up onto her feet to talk, "Alright our mission here is done, we gotta get out of here, how does the situation outside look for us, Sinbad?" Sinbad gave a disapproving headshake, "Not good, Mothers forces got the perimeter surrounded." May lightly suckled on her teeth making a "tch!" sound as her eyes darted around thinking of how they were going to escape. At that moment a voice stating, “Halt! I come in peace.” Despite the new figure saying they come in peace the situation was too dire for them to actually heed it resulting in every crew member pulling out their weapons and directly aiming it at the new female figure, they would all stare at her observing her before May realized she was neither a marine nor part of Mothers crew based on her attire and ask a simple question in a serious tone, "Who the hell are you?!"

May wouldn't even wait for a reply as she considered something, this strange new person had clothes that were quite clean compared to the prostitute's mother had locked away and didn't carry the authority or ignorance of a marine, so the real question was how did she get inside without getting shot up? May held up her hand to speak, "Everyone put down your weapons!" After a few moments of confusion, everyone did just that and May walked up to the new figure and looked her over before speaking, "You got in here somehow, show us so we can get out, too. In return, we will grant safe passage to come along with us" Although May said she would grant the safe passage she didn't bother to explain she would forcibly tie the figure up and take them along for the ride, at least the safe part would be true.

"I'm the one they call the Red Succubus. I got a girl here that I need to rescue, she's one Mother's girls. I actually see my friend on one of those screens over there, you ain't gonna leave those girls behind, right? As long as you don't, I'm ready to help in any way." The new female figure would say in response to Mays question in which she replied back "One of the girls huh?" May went over to the control counsel in the room and looked over its functions scanning for a particular one. While she was scanning over the consols functions it didn't escape Mays sight that Jackal had walked in just in time for the escape causing Sinbad to tease and poke fun at his critical timing, May was far too focused on the method of the crews escape to pay attention any further.

After Jackal arrived the "Red Succubus" would answer Mays second question, "Do you all remember the explosion from earlier? I think one of you idiots caused it. Well, turns out this building isn't indestructible, yeah? Lots of little holes and cracks on the outside, but even if we did sneak outside, there's a hefty number of Mother's men, do you understand? It might as well be suicide for us to try to leave, they've got the building surrounded. But then again, it seems like this building might collapse on us any moment, innit? I'm not sure what's worse, being torn to shreds by bullets or dying in the rubble of a building. But if you want to get out of here alive, we better leave quick, yeah?" Just as she finished May found the button she was looking for, it was a small yellow button with black stripes, May hesitated to press it but quickly found her resolved and pushed it, upon pressing it the locked doors on the screen would open with an audible sound and seconds after women would push through looking confused as dust and small pieces of rubble fell before them, May moved down the counsel functions pressing the mic so that she could speak, "Everyone, please listen to me," May looked back at Jackal and everyone in the room with her as well, "We all need to escape and get out of here but were surrounded on all sides by mothers forces, me and my friends will leave first and there be so distracted with us that they won't bother to chase you, in that time you need to make your own escape through any exit necessary." May then turned off the mic and looked towards Jackal, "So we now have an exit, what the plan once we get outside Captain?"

After posing her question to Jackal on the situation he took on a troubled look mixed with one who was running numerous calculations in their head for several minutes until he finally spoke up, Jackal restated that Succubus was right about getting shot up if they recklessly all moved outside which she had already figured what would happen. He then asked what was Jake's mother name to which she replied was Lily, upon knowing her name he asked personally for her to rally the rest of the women who had been held captured in the building to lead them to the back entrance that would eventually  connect to the streets that lead to the Ninth District. He would clear any doubts Jakes mother may have had by saying the  Ninth was friendly territory in which the most of mothers forces could do is chase them down meaning that if they did engage them with fire it could be the start of a turf war, he finishes off by saying Sinbad, Jake, and herself  were to go along with them.

May, however, felt a pang of annoyance as he announced he was taking the new womanly figure with him instead of her to distract mothers forces, but considering the situation she decided it was mostly the best she didn't fight. He then instructed Sinbad that upon them making it to the  Nil district that he was to call him on the den-den mushi from the ship and sail it to their location and dock on top of the roof for the real escape, according to Sinbad calculations it would take a whole hour and forty-five minutes for them to complete this grand plan leaving them a very small window for them to complete this task before Jackal and Kappa were in real danger.

She didn't like the plan one bit but with Kappa and the new female figure joining them, she just had to swallow her habit of thinking the worst and stick to the plan her captain made if they had any chance of getting out of this situation alive. May re-established the communication microphone and spoke, "Attention! There has been a change of plans so you all need to listen closely! My friends will distract mothers forces but you all need to gather at the back entrance of the building, me and a small group, as well as one of your fellow allies, will be leading you to the Nil district where your be safe from mother and her goon forces. We need to hurry, we don't have a lot of time so please meet us there immediately!"

Giving the women of the building time to gather May walked up to Jackal, "If you're not alive when I come back...I'll complain loud enough for you to hear it even in the afterlife." Mays usual expression turning into a sour angry face as she loaded her left pistol Marty and walked out the door of the communication room with Jake and his mother, and Sinbad following alongside her. With the plan now in full swing May's small group started to run through the building to where the back entrance was located, as they made there way their women would start to follow them from behind as they recognized Jakes mother and naturally trusted her far more then they did May and her friends, within a couple of minutes they made it all the way to the back entrance which was swarming with women who were dressed in skimpy outfits and looked frightened.

May wanted to address their fears but there was no time for that so she proceeded with the plan, she nodded towards Jakes mother and she, Jake, and Sinbad proceeded to the front of the large crowd while she stayed behind the woman, Sinbad could easily handle anything that rushed at them from the front but staying behind to ensure he made it to the ship so the plan wouldn't fail was Mays task in all this. With an ensuring nod, Sinbad burst open the door of the back entrance and everyone started running behind him at full speed May followed them from behind albeit running slightly slower so that she could keep a watchful eye, within nearly half a hour  Mothers forces caught onto the large group making their way to the Nil district and started to pursue them with a group of several men through the street, May who was the only one blocking them from the rest begun to look for something to help her deal with the oncoming forces, she eventually found a merchantman selling some type of miracle water and she easily made her way grabbing the large water tank containing his product and pushed it onto the ground as she then kicked it with her right foot to make it start rolling towards them as she proceeded to pull out both her twin revolvers Marty and Darcy and shoot up the tank causing water to squirt out as it kept rolling, the forces quickly jumping over the tank now ran on the water soaked ground and May who expected this charged her gun with electro and connected the tip to the water causing her electro to flow throught out shocking mothers forces tempoerorary long enought for her reload and then unload bullet after bullet for headshots essentially killing them before she continued to follow the large group to the ninth as according to Sinbads calculations it would be another thirty-two mintues for the group  to make it to the ninth.

Skills:

Boudica followed Jackal outside, and saw a huge crowd of mafia members surrounding the building. There must have been at least 100, from Boudica's point of view. They all had the same uniform and looked mighty intimidating, but her worries disappeared when she saw Jackal bombing his enemies. He was like a tank, dispatching his foes with his seemingly explosive split. While Boudica had heard of Jackal's name before, she had no idea what his powers actually were, and she was very impressed. It certainly made Boudica's own candy-based powers seem like child's play.

Aside from the current battle at hand, Boudica was worried about her friend, Janiyah, a Kuja woman that Boudica had known. Similar to Boudica, Janiyah was also banished from Amazon Lily, and when Janiyah asked Boudica for help, she turned Janiyah down, and it seemed as though she eventually resorted to prostitution and ended up with the wrong people, hence her current situation as one of Mother's girls. Boudica felt an immense amount of guilty, which was why she wanted to rescue Janiyah in the first place. Thankfully, it seemed as though Jackal and his crew were going to save the girls like Janiyah whether or not Boudica had shown up.

Feeling better about Janiyah's situation, Boudica started to focus entirely on the current battle. After all, none of them would be able to celebrate their freedom if they all died. As the enemies came in closer, Boudica created a barrier made out of Mochi, one that easily absorbed the cheap bullets used by the lowly mafia members, the ones who were a part of the first wave attacking the brothel house. "This will hold up good for a while, use it if you need to, it's better than walking out there in the open!"

Used Skills:

They were almost there as they were pressing to about sixteen minutes until they reached the Ninth, there hadn't been any sign of Mothers forces since she took care of the earlier group but as they got closer May only got more cautious as she really didn't want to get caught up in pre-celebratory happiness before they even arrived. Suddenly May heard a scream from somewhere in the center of the large group and she would see a women pointing to the left in which her eyes followed to see a male on a horse holding a blade in his hand rushing towards them, May quickly held up Marty in her right hand and shot at the horses front leg as it was sprinting full force causing it the trip over itself as its rider was thrown over the group crashing onto the other side of the street into a merchants shop. May quickly reloaded her gun once more keeping a keen eye and ear out for trouble, but she didn't need to as they safely made it to the Ninth District and although she was realized they were even more pressed for time as they needed another fifteen minutes before they arrived at the ship, the largely female group waved the four off for a goodbye as they were in a hurry leaving no time for an official farewell.

Letting Sinbad lead the way, he would make them travel to one side of the district to the other until eventually, they reached a beach, they ran just a bit further on the sand until they reached a groove of rocks and started to climb it following his lead eventually reaching a very large and refined looking ship and hopping onto its deck.

May being tired took a second to recover her stamina as Jack and his mother Lily was ordered by Sinbad to prepare the ship for flight, as May heard his she thought he may have been joking but sure enough Lily and Jake were running around the ship de-attaching the restraints chaining down the ship while Sinbad maneuvered the ship away from the rocks and pointed towards the direction they originally came from before saying, "Everyone, hang on to something!" in which May grabbed a nearby rope hugging it with her body and Jake and his mother went through a door into one of the ship's rooms as he pressed a button. At first, nothing happened but suddenly May felt the force of the entire ship pushing off as it started to jump into the air over Baltigos Ninth district, May had gotten up out of disbelief only to see they were actually floating over the city which seemed to be possible by some type of tubes located at the bottom of the ship.

With the help of the flying ship, nearly an hour and thirty-eight minutes had passed and May could see the crumbled building and explosions from a distance indicating they were close, she then yelled at Sinbad, "LAND ON THE ROOF!" in which he replied, "I already know that!" as he spun the wheel to maneuver the ship to land on the crumbling rooftop or at least near it.

Gil had patched up May like she asked, and in following her to where she eventually met up with Jackal, he had managed to get a good look at what she was capable of. A skilled markswoman and a capable leader, probably better than he was at the latter. The resistance they had encountered so far had been manageable, and didn't doubt that his captain would be breezing through whatever resistance he faced on his end. As for the new mink recruit, he had seen enough to trust her for now. With Sinbad going with the boat retrieval squad, he trusted that they would arrive on time.

So that just left his group to hold out until then. Nearly two hours of balls-to-the-wall exertion. As far as fitness and conservation of energy was concerned, he was fine with this. He could keep his kata's going at his maximum strength all day long. This was thanks to his fishman biology that had adapted to the rigorous training he had endured all those years ago. He could quite literally shape water in his sleep. But what was concerning was how much time they would remain in one spot for. This was troubling because their enemies would have time to rally the forces they needed to take them down.

And the appearance of a new girl as well. It seemed like Jackal's overactive pheromones had dragged in another female like he was magnetic. He would have to run some tests on him. Maybe something should be done to limit them. He pondered if they could be used for some sort of biological weapon. He could always try neutering his captain, though he doubted that would go down well. Regardless of what she said, she didn't seem like she would pose a threat. If she was attentive enough, she would notice that Gil wouldn't let her leave his sight and kept one dark black eye on her even through the brawl.

While he had been following May, he had managed to come across a bathing pool in one of the pleasure rooms. He put his hand in the water, feeling the gross mixture of stinking perfume and a mixture of bodily fluids of over twenty different individuals. After filtering out everything that wasn't pure water, he grabbed the water and bound it to himself, condensing it into a thin, second skin.

Now, he followed Jackal around like an attack dog. His right hand was his sword, thrusting forward toward anyone that would come within thirty metres. A massive snaking water tentacle would lash out like a whip, the jagged teeth of a moray eel sprouting from the end of the shape to chomp down onto foes before ragdolling them and tossing them blocks away. His left hand was his shield, shaping the water around him into various walls of water, meant to hinder enemy movements and block their attacks while also providing platforms and walls to augment Jackal's high movement fighting style. Their teamwork in battle had become so refined over their many battles together. When he could see Jackal's body tense up in a way that he was expecting to touch a solid wall in midair, Gil would create one as fast as he was possible, using himself as an anchor and springboard.

As the ship got even closer to the ongoing melee below Sinbad started to give May an order, "Alright May. I'm going to open the docking area near the hull of the ship. That'll allow Jackal and the others to climb up... There's a rope ladder on the bottom deck area... You'll need to hoist the rope ladder tightly, so Jackal and the others can scale aboard. Don't worry about the escaping bit... The moment all of our people are aboard, we'll retreat into the skies... and circle back around to another location in Nil." May started to dash to the docking area near the hull of the very large ship while she yelled, "Got it!" It took her several minutes to reach her destination by at this point she was running on nothing but the fumes of her original energy combined with her small will to make sure her new family makes it out of this battle against "Mothers" forces alive.

Once there she found a very long thick rope that had been laying on the ground and quickly approached it while nearing the hoisting pole and she immediately got to work, recalling her memories back in Notice where she weaved objects with her uncle to sell to the islanders and visitors alike just to get past the weeks May begun to turn around the rope and bring the working end back over the hoisting pole, she then continued around behind the object then passed the working end over the standing part and then under the riding turn and standing part once more forming an overhand knot under the riding turn, she then emerged between the two turns and pulled firmly on the ends to tighten it into a Constrictor knot.

Now that she was done with her part she would yell out "ALL GOOD TO GO SINBAD!!" Before making her way back to the deck for further instructions.
