Chapter 47- Airship Raid!

*AffimaX Airship- Bridge*

BlackGatomon was lounging in the pilot's seat, bored out of her skull... "Honestly, how long does it take for that Vert to stop playing her 4GO and get up here..." She was seriously contemplating taking a catnap when an alert suddenly popped up. "Huh? Outer door breached?" Switching on the camera feed, she saw Neptune and Peashy enter the airship... "Wait, Neptune's here, meow? And Citrus? ...Well, that's fine. I would've won against Vert and the Rangers if she hadn't interfered... and I want to get back at that brat for 'playing' with me, meow..." She shuddered as she recalled Peashy playing 'football' with her... Switching on the intercom, she ordered, "Hey Tenga, our guests are here! Get off your tail-feathers and go greet them, meow!"

*AffimaX Airship- Hangar 1*

"So where do we go, Neptuna?" Peashy asked as the two entered the left room from the entrance.

"Well, if I remember right, there's Hangar 1, Hangar 2, then the bridge," Neptune recalled. "So we go left, then up, then right, left... I think. Just follow me and watch my back, 'kay?"

"OK!" Peashy nodded, looking behind her. "No bad guys yet!"

So they proceeded down a narrow hallway, making a right down another hallway, then another right into a larger room... "There they are, caww!"

(Music- 'Tenga Bye Bye', Power Rangers season 3)

"Fight time, P-ko!" Neptune declared as she brandished her sword.

"Yay! Time to beat up the birds! Hi-yah!" Peashy yelled as she hit a Tenga in the solar plexus with a double-footed dropkick, sending him tumbling to the far wall! Another one tried to jump on her, but Peashy kicked him up into the ceiling, rolling away as the bird collapsed into a heap!

"Gah! Even as a kid, Citrus is tough!" one Tenga observed as he dodged a sword swing from Neptune.

"Imaging having to raise her!" Neptune taunted as she bisected a Tenga diagonally! One grabbed her from behind, another going in for the attack, only for the CPU to lift her legs and double-kick the Tenga away, before flipping the one that grabbed her over her head! "Too predictable!" she snarked as she stabbed the Tenga she'd flipped, which promptly dissolved into 1s and 0s.

Meanwhile, Peashy uppercut another Tenga into the ceiling, then clobbered another one with her Bratty Rotating Punch! "Haha! Too bad you bad birds can't fly!"

"No, but we can run! Fall back to the upper floor!" With that the Tenga dispersed, fleeing out the far door!

"Yay! We won!" Peashy cheered.

"For now," Neptune said, putting her laser sword away. "We gotta take it slow, though... there might be some traps that weren't here last time..." So the duo cautiously proceed north, then east into a wide hallway... "Uh-oh, looks like we got more trouble!" Sure enough, there was another Tenga a short distance away, piloting a bi-pedal ride armor with large fists!

(Music- 'Boss Fight', Mega Man X)

"Caww-ha-ha-haaa! Let's see how you two goddesses handle this!" The ride armor promptly charged forward, Neptune and Peashy barely rolling out of the way!

(The cockpit is open!) Neptune observed. "P-ko, when I say 'now', step on my hands! I'm gonna give you a boost up so you can attack the bird directly!"

"Okay!" Peashy nodded, running up to Neptune as she knelt and cupped her hands together...

"You're mine, caww!" The Tenga cried as he turned and charged again!

"Now!" Peashy stepped onto Neptune's cupped hands, the protagonist promptly heaving her up and over her head, Peashy flipping in mid-air and nailing the Tenga with a drop-kick, knocking him out of the cockpit! Without a pilot, the ride armor halted and slumped into a sitting position.

"Take that, and that and that!" Peashy cried happily as she pummeled the Tenga with her cat paws!

"Get offa me!" the raven yelled, managing to shove Peashy off and right himself, only for his beady eyes to go wide as Neptune jumped into the ride armor and started it back up! "Uh-oh...!"

"You can dish it out, but can ya take it?!" Neptune queried with a savage grin, charging forward and nailing the Tenga with the ride armor's fist, knocking him back into the wall and decompiling him instantly! "Guess not. Hey, P-ko, hop on! We're gonna go for a ride!"

"Yaaaaay!" Peashy cheered as she climbed up and into the cockpit with Neptune.

*Back on the bridge...*

"Ugh, you stupid idiots!" BlackGatomon face-pawed at seeing Neptune commandeer the ride armor on the security camera feed. Fortunately the other Tenga were smart enough to flee once they saw the ride armor coming at them, though the same couldn't be said for the security robots. "Well, at least she won't be able to take that up to the next level, meow... Hey, you done yet?"

"Ssssss," Chrysalimon grunted as it sawed at it's master's collar... then, the lights on the collar abruptly went out, the collar itself detaching and falling to the ground with a clang!

"Ah, that's SO much better!" BlackGatomon rolled her head around, massaging her neck a little. "Good thing I thought to have the Tenga sneak a jammer on board with us! That witch won't even realize I'm free until it's too late, meow!"

"Ssssss!" Chrysalimon made a happy noise.

"Alright, get back down to Hangar 2! Those CPUs will show up any minute!" BlackGatomon ordered, Chrysalimon obeying and leaving the control room. "Hmm, doesn't feel like I have the energy to Digivolve to Mega form yet... Oh well, those goddesses won't be able to transform, either, so my Ultimate form should be enough if things really go bad, meow..."

*AffimaX Airship- Hangar 2*

"Well, that was a fun ride," Neptune sighed as she and Peashy stepped off the elevator. "But we're gonna have to go on foot from here on out... Stay alert, P-ko."

"Right, Neptuna!" Peashy nodded as they came to an intersection... but then a security bot flew in from the left path, firing lasers at the duo! Neptune, however, simply deflected a laser with her blade, the ricochet blasting off part of the robot's torso! Neptune then cut it down easily. "Yikes, that was close!" Peashy commented.

"Case in point," Neptune sighed as she checked to make sure the bot didn't reactivate. "Right, let's keep going..." They took the right path, then left, emerging into another open space, where more Tenga awaited them!

"We gotta make our stand here!" the Tenga declared. "Ride armor won't save you this time, caww!"

"Don't need it to deal with you bird brains!" Neptune shot back as she and Peashy stood ready. "Let's beat 'em up, P-ko!" With that, they charged the ravens!

*On the bridge...*

BlackGatomon observed the fight on the camera feed, soon realizing that the battle was going against her minions... Clicking on the intercom, she ordered, "Tenga, retreat! This fight isn't worth throwing your lives away for, meow! Get outta there!" On cue, the birds fled once again, leaving Neptune and Peashy standing alone.

"Well, that's a surprise. Since when does an ex-Demon Lord start caring about her minions?" Neptune taunted.

"Since it takes a lot of energy to copy-and-paste a bunch of replacements!" the Digimon retorted. "Just because I'm evil doesn't mean I can't be pragmatic, meow!"

"You bad kitty!" Peashy yelled. "Pea's gonna smack you hard, then put you in a kitty cage!"

"Hisssss, in a cage?! Last time was bad enough, meow!" BlackGatomon raged, before getting a hold of herself. "(ahem) Anyway, I highly doubt you two can even make it to the bridge, seeing as my most powerful and loyal minion awaits you!"

"You mean that Chris-sally-mon monster? Yeah, Adrian spilled the beans on that already," Neptune snarked.

"Guess I'll have to report him to Momus for insubordination, meow!" BlackGatomon noted. "But, good luck trying to fight that thing without your HDD, meow! Hahahahaha!" The intercom then cut off. "Ugh, that evil laugh doesn't sound nearly as intimidating when I'm not evolved, meow..."
