The Iron Fang pierced through the armor with relative ease, though it wasn’t enough to incapacitate the chimp completely. The blade merely managed to breach through his ribcage, barely grazing against any of the vital parts it contained. Thankfully, Cristina and Mikey were safe, but despite his efforts, Raja failed to prevent Henri from swallowing a bullet that’d now nestled in his right thigh. His only eye went wide at the sight, his lips parting in a horrified gasp. Just as he darted his gaze back towards Shufen, an enormous explosion was summoned, its fiery trails spreading wildly all over the enclosed space like wildfire.

[b][i]KA–BOOM![/i][/b]

[b][i]WHOOSH![/i][/b]

The explosion was about as massive as the ones the Sumatran Tiger would’ve typically summoned—if not, heavier. It appeared that Shufen had finally gotten the hang of his destructive quirk, and he wasn’t sure whether or not he should’ve been exasperated or concerned. Perhaps, it was more of the latter now that the entire TFO was at risk. 

Raja jammed his spectral blade against the ground, triggering the same kind of explosion that Shufen had successfully created. He tried to prevent it from reaching out to both the team and himself, but even with his very own gigantic projectile, he could barely reduce the shattering impact that came out of his adversary’s ultimate attack. In fact, it only doubled the impact.

[b][i]KRA–KOOM![/i][/b]

[color=D10000][b]“Ungh–!!”[/b][/color]

The Indonesian Arms Master could feel his towering frame launching to the back, absorbing the colliding impact directly. He could only watch as the monkey ambushed both Cristina and Mikey, causing the Mirage Space to disappear. The view of the sinking carrier became evident just beneath his back, but before he could fly past the ship, he quickly held on to its precipice, both bandaged hands clutching the railing. His lower limbs dangled, the tips of his boots close to touching the surface of the water.

[b][i]SWISH![/i][/b]

[color=D10000]“Urgh… [b][i]Anjing[/i]![/b]”[/color]

The gentle sound of the ocean called to him, ready to sweep him out of the carrier’s precipice. Crackling and grimacing, Raja attempted to prop himself up, desperately trying to climb out of harm’s way. He could feel the tides growing stronger and stronger each time, the raging ocean forcing itself to swallow him wholly. Fortunately, when all hopes seemed to be lost…

[b][i]WHIRR…[/i][/b]

…Raja caught the noises of another ship approaching, its hull combing and fighting against the tides. As the impact, the water managed to make its way to his dangling form, spraying his hairless crown. When he glanced past his shoulder, he recognized the ship as BRP Jose Rizal, having caught a glimpse of the deck just moments prior to the beginning of the mission. His muscles relaxed, a sigh of relief blown.

[color=D10000]“[i]Puji Tuhan[/i]...”[/color]

After managing to push himself past the railing, Raja informed the other Arms Masters of the ship’s existence, the barest hints of smile playing by his lips.

[color=D10000]“It’s coming!”[/color]
