## Synopsis

Kifo immediately barrel rolls to the sand and sinks into the earth. What he’ll do next is anyone’s guess. Mikey is sitting in the oxygen room. He realizes they are above water and exits the room to find out how close they are to their destination. His time out is short lived however because they begin to re-submerge so he rushes back to his sanctuary, unanswered. Sonney is freeing everyone possible and skips over Vic Hawklight because, he’s a dick. Burrows and Cockrell hear the issues beginning upstairs and decide to just let the prisoners run, they won’t make it very far. Before they can move on however, Burrows shoots The Admiral. It isn’t very effective. The Admiral immediately fires back and Burrows bolts in sheer Flight mentality, but not before the pirate lords attempt to escape, Killing Fancy and incapacitating Tecnic. Kifo enters the Armory and begins sending weapons down a floor through the hole he made with his earth bending.

Mwana speaks with Sirene about their plan and The Aquatic Elf mentions that his recon has determined the fleet of Pirate ships are not at Ere port so they have to find them if they expect to get all the pirates out of there. Mwana brings this information to the A Mural’s Bone crew. Sonney is still releasing prisoners and spots weapons and armor dropping from the sky. He calls up to Kifo and they have a brief reunion before Sonney and Gregory lead people out while Kifo and his men head back down to deal with the Naval officers still in the underground. Kifo runs into Burrows who requests to join Kifo on his mission. He allows it. They come face to face with the Admiral and the Lords and Cockrell offers the unconscious Tecnic and the other Lords for Burrows and Sonney. They agree on Tecnic for Burrows and the trade happens. Burrows is knocked out and Tecnic is passed off to a random Darfellan.

The Sous-Marin arrives at Aarde port to scan the area for the ships and come up empty. Sirene believes they must be at Diqiu so they head towards Ere to pick up as many people as they can to return them to the ships and save the rest with a fleet. The prisoners begin the fight out of the building, having successfully traded. The battle is long and repeatedly in Kifo and Sonney’s favor. Burrows awakens in the back of a carriage with Mad Monty and Black Scalp. He begins shouting for a drink that will never come. The A Mural’s Bone crew are dicking around as they approach Ere. Mwana shoves Mikey into a Barrel which does not go over well with the boy’s new Papyrophobia.

The fight continues and Kifo goes down. He uses his swan song to return and finish the job as the majority make it out of the walls and head towards the beach. Sonney however, spots the leaving caravan and decides to go after it, drinking an invisibility potion and attempting to get to the Admiral. He catches up and finds carriage the Admiral is in where he sneaks in and drops his talisman of ultimate evil into Cockrell’s lap. It begins to suck the life out of him but he knocks it out of the carriage. He grabs the Admiral and jumps out of the carriage with him. The Sous-Marin arrives and Mikey is prepared to enact his plan as the crowd of pirates are sprinting in his direction. Confused but relieved he reunites with his crew mates and all the men from the Armadillo join him on the Daronna Rose, which is docked at this port. Mwana spots Kifo and the two come face-to-face. Mwana looks ready to kill but before anything positive or negative can happen Mwana is hit directly with a cannon ball from the Coral. Standing on the deck is Mint as the ship departs. Tecnic awakens in the back of a carriage with the other Pirate Lords and Burrows, having been taken back into custody once again.
