Momo tried to get to Moltaire so they could escape, but Kasai suddenly shifting into a full wyvern caused his wings to smash the mole directly into the wall. He lost consciousness despite Momo's complaints as Kasai spun, smashing her back into the floor with her tail. In one move they were both out. "Kasai chill!" Harmony cried out as she got up, shifting into her own wyvern mode, claws out. Kasai rushed at her, biting into the scales on her arm as she went for a gut punch, but he just flipped her up, smashing through the ceiling, throwing Claire back. "The hell!?" she exclaimed jumping back, the magma quickly hardening into rock.
Kasai tried ato lunge at Harmony, but a huge glob of magma stopped him, causing him to scream in pain. Harmony turned to the child and cried out, "Hey! Stop it he's my friend!" She scoffed, "Some friend, plus your a pirate, so just die." She threw one more at Harmony this time, but she lunged down, ducking out of the way. Kasai quickly shook off the magma and rushed back into the fight, going for a wing smash at Harmony who was closer. Another glob headed for him, but Harmony dropped her scales threw up a wax wall, blocking it. Kasai said thank you by chomping down on her shoulder, and and she cried out. Then, she chuckled as she yelled out, "Come on man be a team player!"
Claire just scoffed in disgust as she started pooling with lava, getting ready to send a wave at them both. Harmony, getting impatient, knocked on his head with her fist. "Kasai, if you're gonna be in the way, I swear!" He responded by chomping harder, and she started screaming. "FINE!" She threw up a wax dome around them to block the lava long enough, and with all her upper body strength, she hurled a punch into his head, the blow cracking his skull and knocking him back into his human form as he fell face down, his impact cracking the ground. Harmony then stood up, a look of regret on her face as she looked down at her crew mate, before glaring over at Claire, who was laughing sarcastically. "Oh good you got him, now stay still damn it!"
After Lucky got Minx back to his feet, they both tried digging through the entryway. With his blades spinning he started making progress through till about 5 minutes. Then Lucky kicked the rest down, and looked around to see all the tunnels were closed. Lucky immediately tried breaking them down, but Minx protested, "Wouldn't you get in trouble for helping pirates?" She turned to him and smiled. "They're your friends!" He smiled and nodded, the two beginning on the first one.
Senju had drawn his katana, holding it up to Kagaku's neck. Julio had Victoria aimed, but Kagaku put his hand up, unfazed by the blade. "If you were gonna kill us, you definitely would have. So what's the hold-up?" Senju just sighed, returning the sword to its shethe. "All I'm allowed to say is, I am not truly tied to this crew. Merely I am here because... I am needed," he answered. Kagaku stuck his pinkie in his nose, "Welp thats that, could ya help us out?" Julio looked confused, but Senju obliged, cutting open the entryway and knocking two bunnies back. "Whoops- pardon me."
"So then where is Blackheart!?" Lucky exclaimed upon realizing he wasn't here. "Probably used his minions power to go through where we can't," Kagaku states as he draws attention to the smaller tunnel. "Well, no one here could fit..." Minx said, as even he was too thick. Incoming footsteps put everyone on edge, but a beat-up Petrian stepping up eased them up. "The uh, kid got to his mom," he informed, causing Minx and Julio to sigh in relief. Kagaku bothered Petrian out of sheer curiosity, asking "Is this from a Devil Fruit?" as he inspected his wings. Nervously, Petrian replied, "Well, technically yea, but I never ate one. It's... a whole thing..." Kagaku nodded, but was interrupted by both marines suddenly tapping their ear, a transmission from the scouts in Aluburna, and a surprised look appeared on their faces, "Blackheart is already at the castle!" Julio started to reload Victoria, "Let's make our way there." Minx nodded, "We should find the captain!" Kagaku put his hands on his hips and smiled, "You guys barely even know this kid, yet you're going this far for him..." They both nodded, giving him a thumbs up. "Kiwi's our future crewmate. He's already family to us," Minx finished. Kagaku chuckled, and turned to Julio, "Screw it, I'm this far in anyway. You guys in need of a shipwright?"
