Ezra was astonished as Gladius flipped the table and outright attacked the marines, he had felt their cover was blown but thought that they might be able to salvage things. Under his breath he let out a quiet curse, this wouldn't end easily and the town would be crawling with marines pretty quickly. He really doubted they would let any ships out legitimately even if he did just book it to the harbor so he had a feeling his odds were better with this group of crazies, Ezra hoped that his trust wasn't being misplaced.
Quickly pulling off his cuffs he stuffed them into his bag, which he supposed was a bit of a giveaway in the first place but it was too late for all that. He released Ann from her Pokeball and prepared himself to extract any medical supplies he might need to keep these lunatics alive.

Victor pinched the bridge of his nose with a little sigh, then let his hand fall away with a laugh. "There's one in every bunch, always. Can't fault the enthusiasm, even if he's gotten a bit preachy. Guess it's a throwdown with all comers, long as their captain doesn't come along, should be a fair fight." Giving his own Pokeball a toss, it landed unceremoniously at his feet. "A'right Precious, time fer some lashes."
Nothing. The ball didn't stir, nor did it's occupant leave. "C'mon Precious... it's embarrassing, I ain't..." A long, resigned exhale, then in a singsong voice. "Come on out my Precious~" Sure enough, that did it. A small squat reptile with a bulb on it's back appearing in a pulse of light. "Spoiled lump 'o kelp." Victor muttered under his breath.

The three Marines no longer look quite as confident now that they're facing four mon and their apparent trainers, rather than the one. Each of them releases a partner, a Wingull, Zigzagoon and a Clefairy; all of them wearing neckerchiefs emblazoned with the Marine logo. The three brandish their weapons in an attempt to look tough, while their mon take ready poses. "We won't let you escape Justice, pirate! We are the wielders of the Law!" the officer bellows, brushing aside the accusations that Glay levied against them. The other two are grinning nervously in anticipation. Combat MapInitiative Ezra - 15 Dolly - 15 Wingull - 13 Aquila - 13 Marine 2 - 12 Ann - 11 Zigzagoon - 10 Lieutenant - 10 Gina - 10 Marine 1 - 8 Glay - 5 Clefairy - 5 Victor - 5 Precious - 3

Gladius let out a light chuckle. "I've already escaped once today. Guess it's time to go for two," he said with a grin. As he did so, he began to charge forward, closing the distance between himself and the Lieutenant, but making sure to keep his guard up and his eyes open. He didn't want to get caught by surprise again.
As Gladius charged, Aquila took flight, circling wide over the table and slashing at the Marine Lieutenant and his Wingull with wings of iron as he passed.

Dolly flew in like an adorable rocket while Gina chuckled at how 'Precious' was summoned, growling as fierce as a bird can at the Zigzagoon and its trainer; the closest ones to her and her trainer, of course. The less damage their opponents could do, the better. Gina positioned her hands on the blast chord, took aim, and strummed; her initial target was the Lieutenant and his pokemon - NO ONE touched her butt without her permission! - though if there was a spot she could blow up more people, then all the better. Dolly used Growl on Marine 2 and Zigzagoon! AC2, Rolled 16, -1 Attack CS to both.
Gina used Energy Blast on Wherever She Can Wreck Shit Up Most After The Others Move! AC4, Rolled 11, 24 Psychic Special damage in a Blast 2. Lieutenant is first target, but wherever she can hit the most targets while not destroying Gladius or Aquila is also good.

The Bulbasaur sized up the battlefield as she settled on her squat legs, making clear judgement about the others around herself. Immediately Precious took a dislike to the pampered looking Chatot, and the marine's Clefairy as well. There should be no contest who the prettiest Pokemon was! She was! Her old owner had always told her as much! "Alrigh' Precious, a sludge for th' Lieutenant if you'd please."
No. If anyone was getting it, it was that little ponce, skipping and prancing merrily about with it's little dimples and light steps! Precious went zipping off towards the Clefairy, firing a glob of poisonous sap from her bulb at it.
(Agility Orders on Precious, Victor's disguise drops, Precious' initiative bumps to 7. Clefairy is Poisoned and takes 45 Poison Special Damage before Defense and Effectiveness.)
With a flustered sound behind his Pokemon, Victor's false image wavers and disappears, leaving the hulking man in the place of the marine.

Ezra thought quickly after the fight broke out, whispering to Ann to keep focused he pointed the Wingull in front of the man that he assumed was in charge. Ann drew in a breath and created a small flickering orb of eerie blue flame that she propelled at the Wingull searing it.
(Ezra uses Focused Training to give Ann +1 to hit and Ann uses Will-o-Wisp on the Wingull)
The rush of action afterward continued to unbalance him, he wasn't sure how long he would take to acclimate to all this strangeness. He tried to restrain a chuckle when Stone released Precious, he wondered how those two met.

Dolly's fierce growling seemed to cause both the Marine and his mon to wither slightly, less sure of their ability to take on the foes that clearly outnumbered them. The Lieutenant's Wingull took the opportunity to release a high warbling sound that causes a shimmer through the air, impacting against Aquila and causing the eaglet's flight path to become wobbly and erratic, even as she closed in, wings taking on a glistening silver sheen before slicing across the Marine and Mon both. The Wingull comes out of the attack not too badly off, but its trainer is another matter entirely. The attack had cut right through his coat, and the padded armor beneath it he was wearing, leaving bloody gashes that had the Marine cursing powerfully. Marine revealed to be wearing physical-oriented light armor. The Marine and his mon being harried by Dolly decide to gang up on her. The Marine leads off, pulling a pistol and drawing a bead on the colorful bird's flight path, firing where she will be, rather than where she is! The attack clips her wing, sending her into a tailspin that is brutally interuppted as the Zigzagoon launches itself upwards in a Tackle, smashing her back into the air where Dolly woozily regains her equilibrium. Bullseye agaisnt Dolly AC 2 crits on 16+: 18 Total damage: 38
Tackle against Dolly AC 2: 7 Damage: 18 In the interim, Ann has taken the opportunity to get close to the distracted Wingull, flapping her ghostly wings and produsing a single glowing blue spark that wafts lazily through the air, before falling onto the bird's back and inflicting a painful burn! The Lieteneant growls furiously, before pulling a vial off of his belt and downing it in a long gulp. He wipes his mouth with the back of his hand, even as his wounds begin to knit together under the armor. He's not out of the fight yet! Marine LT used Super Potion, regained 35 HP His glare of menace turned to a shout of pain however as Gina's strange instrument wracks his mind with its discordant explosion of sound, one that his Wingull echoes mournfully, a fine misting of blood seeping from beneath the feathers that surround its ears. The Marine that had released the Clefairy, seeing his commander under assault, dashes down, his dagger flashing out to draw blood from Aquila. Cheap Shot: cannot miss Normal Physical damage: 25 Gladius comes lumbering up, shield and sword at the ready then, which draws the attention of the Clefairy.. right before a blast of evil-looking toxic sludge smacks into the side of its head courtesy of Precious. The attack burns horribly, the little fairy shireking in pain, before gulping. Some of the acidic burns heal, but hte Fairy is still very injured, and is now completely focused on Precious. Dashing forward, it slaps wildly, managing to connect three times before shuddering as the toxins in its system whittle away at its remaining health. Double Slap AC 4: 11 Five Strike: 4 Normal Physical Damage: 27 Initiative List! Ezra - 15 Dolly - 15 Wingull - 13 Aquila - 13 Marine 2 - 12 Ann - 11 Zigzagoon - 10 Lieutenant - 10 (2 injuries) Gina - 10 Marine 1 - 8 Precious - 7 Glay - 5 Clefairy - 5 (3 injuries) Victor - 5

Gina narrowed her eyes and frowned, shifting her keys and eyeing down the Marine that had the GALL to shoot her bird! Who does that?! Sure, the Lieutenant's bird was caught in her crossfires earlier, but who cares, that Wingull was ugly. DOLLY WAS A PRECIOUS, COLORFUL LITTLE BIRD WITH NOTHING BUT LOVE TO GIVE. And that bag of dicks SHOT her! Focusing her magic on him, she strummed, a blast of psychic energy rocking the man at his very core!...Well, hopefully. Just in case, she stepped back towards Victor, who could probably take a few more hits, in all honesty. This was accompanied by a battered and ruffled Dolly pecking at the man's face a few times before flying up as high as she could to avoid any more conflict. She did NOT like the whole 'getting hurt' part of battling not one bit! Dolly used Peck on Marine 2! AC 2 Rolled 10, 24 Flying Physical damage, preferably to the face region. Flying 5 meters into the air because attacks hurt. :c
Gina used Struggle on Marine 2! AC 5 Rolled 17, 20 Psychic Special damage, preferably to the groin. Moves back 2 meters to Victor and hopefully far enough away from Bag O'Dicks and Ziggy Zagdust.

With one of the Marines backing up his boss, Gladius saw an ideal opportunity to strike. He looked to Aquila and gave a sharp whistle, and prepared to initiate his plan. Aquila heard the sound and dove at the Marine, striking hard with his wings, but he was still disoriented from the Wingull's noisemaking and injured himself in the process. As Aquila distracted the Marines, Gladius shifted, getting in the midst of them, and opposite Aquila. "Come on now, you're looking a little ragged there! I haven't even shown you how I got outta jail yet," he said coyly. "Here, lemme show you," he said, drawing his shield back. There was a sucking noise in the air, followed by a low hum as his shield was wreathed in a glowing, white aura. "It went a little something like this!," He bellowed, slamming his shield into the ground. Once again it was accompanied by a pulse and the sound of cracking, splitting glass, and then the ground surrounding Gladius, and beneath the Marines, began to shake and heave violently, the vibrations travelling through the ground and into his targets. Aquila's Wing Attack on Marine1. AC:2 Roll:12 Damage:34 Flying Physical. Aquila is still confused and took 8 damage.
Gladius disengages from C12 to B11 and uses Bulldoze. AC:2 Roll:4 Damage:24 Ground Physical. All targets lose 1 SPD CS.

Precious let out an irritable grown and fell back a little, twin pinpoints of light flickering to either side of her bulb before vines sprouted at an incredible rate from those points, raising high and back. Then, in practiced fashion, for the Boatswain's pet was very vain and well kept, started delivering the lash to the cute little ponce that had earned her ire.
Victor meanwhile advanced, shrugging his great cloak behind his shoulders to dangle from his neck, so that his chest was free and bare. The sunlight was nice, it made him feel stronger somehow when he was in it. Something to look into when he wasn't trying to protect a new host of friends. Stoically striding forward, the panels lit on his chest one at a time, before he unleashed his pinpoint accurate supporting fire, just for Dolly's sake.

Ezra walked past Precious to get a batter view of the action. He continued to work on Ann's focus as they moved closer to combat. He kept himself breathing steadily, concentrating on the task at hand, trying not to let this insanity get to him. Ann moved with him and began to channel her mental energy toward the Lieutenant, a ray made of calming yellow patterns emerged and shot at the target.
(Ezra moves to G10 and uses Focused Training on Ann. Ann Moves to G11 and uses Hypnosis (Roll of 7) on the Wingull. If it hits I activate my Stacked Deck feature to have it lose an additional 5 hit points when taking burn damage)

The injured Wingull ignores the stinging in its feathers as the burn aggravates with every flap of its wings. Focusing on Ann, her beak opens, blasting the ghost with a torrent of water! Or, at least that was the intent. A swing of Gladius' sword put that, and the mon, down for the count. AC 2: 14 Special water damage: 26
Aquila's divebomb is met with snarls of pain and frustration, but the Marine that had been engaging Dolly turns his focus on her trainer... and catches sight of the revealed cyborg. "What in god's name..." he murmurs, even as he moves up into range and fires on Victor, completely ignoring the musician for now. Marine 2 moves to H17. Uses Ranged Struggle AC 4: 14 Normal Physical Damage: 23 Ann, grateful for the timely assist from Gladius, seeks to give back, targetting the Marine LT with Hypnosis and causing the man to sway on his feet before his eyes slide closed. The Zigzagoon however is not impressed, sticking with its trainer he dashes across the ground, skidding to a stop and using his tail to throw dust and sand into Gina's eyes Sleep roll: 16 Wingull wakes up at the end of the turn! Sand Attack AC 2:10
The Lieutenant, flanked by his enemies, looks more gleeful than worried. "Thanks fer the target rich environment, ya stupid pirate!" His sword cuts a wide looping arc, the attack starting with Gladius, but catching Aquila across the face with the backswing totters on his feet, giving off a high whistling snore. The marine regrets his ignoring Gina immensely as his legs suddenly clamp together and he lets out a high-pitched shriek thanks to the impacts of her attack on a particularly near and dear piece of anatomy. His companion however is entirely focused on the bird that just tried to take his eyes out, firing his pistol at the bird even as he attempts to avoid his own captain's wild attack. looking panicked, before hastily slapping at his CO's shoulder. "El Tee! Wake up!"
Snorting, the officer blinks blearily, before he snarls as he comes back to the land of the living. "Another dirty pirate trick! You're all alike, no honor and no shame!" His hypocrisy doesn't seem to register even as he swings wildly, scoring a glancing blow on Gladius, but a deeper more telling strike on Aquila with his wide strikes. Bulls-Eye on Aquila AC 2: 13 Normal Physical Damage:20 Marine 2 wakes up the Marine LT.
Double Strike on Gladius! AC 4: 18 Physical Normal Damage: 20
Crit on Aquila! Normal Physical Damage: 34
Meanwhile, Precious puts the Clefairy out of her misery, and Glay's display of power sends cracks running through the street. Neither Marine is down yet, but they're both battered and bloody. Victor display of unusual firepower is more than enough to put the Marine down for the count. His partner is still up but looking much less sanguine without its trainer to back it up. Clefairy and Marine 2 are both KO'd! Initiative Ezra - 15 Dolly - 15 Aquila - 13 Ann - 11 Zigzagoon - 10 Gina - 10 Lieutenant - 9 (2 injuries) Marine 1 - 8 Precious - 7 Glay - 5 Victor - 5

Out of the corner of his eye, Gladius saw the Wingull at his flank firing a shot off. It had made a critical mistake--ignoring him. Gladius spun on his heel, swinging his blade up to slash at the bird--right where the wing meets its torso. The strike was true, and as Gladius followed-through an arc of crimson followed his blade, the Wingull falling to the ground.
Gladius quickly recovered from his strike, but the Marine Lieutenant was already on him. Gladius leaned back, and the edge of the Marine's blade scraped across his breastplate with a metal-on-metal shriek, but Gladius hardly felt the blow and continued with his own attack. At the same time, Aquila took a nasty hit from the Marine Lieutenant, only compounding his injuries.
As the trembling began to subside, Gladius had a wide grin on his face, shadowed by his helmet. "Yeah, now I think you're starting to get it," he said gleefully. "It's not so much fun when the people you're trying to push around fight back...or when they're stronger than you, is it?," he asked with a smile.
As he did, Aquila dove at the Marine that had shot him, his steely wings striking the Marine hard as he flew to gain some distance from the battle. With Aquila clear, the Wingull down, and the other Marine out of the way, Gladius focused his full attention on the Lieutenant. "And just think, if you'd treated these townspeople with a little respect and decency, I would've just kept walking and never flipped over that card table," he said, making his point in a sarcastic, condescending tone, "and if your strikes weren't so sloppy, you wouldn't be losing to some Pirate!," he said, barely giving the Lieutenant a second to process it. Gladius sprung forward, swinging down across the man's chest, his blade biting deep into the Marine's clothing and armor. Then, Gladius drew his sword up and across again, carving a large 'X' shape across the Lieutenant's chest.

The thought crossed Ezra's mind that things were finally turning around, He felt like they might have some chance getting out of here. He just hoped that they could make it to the docs without attracting whoever was in charge. He kept his gaze focused as he turned to the Zigzagoon. Directing Ann he hoped to keep it contained quickly. Ann again concentrated and released another flickering blue flame at the Zigzagoon, coating it in eerie fire.

Well, the Marine that shot her bird was down now. Good. The Zigzagoon was still an issue, but Victor would surely be able to handle a little ball of fluff. As Dolly began flying back down towards Gina, Gina took aim at the two Marines cornering Gladius. They were all talking, maybe taunting, but she couldn't hear much of anything. Gladius could probably handle it himself...But a bit of help wouldn't hurt. Shifting her hand to the familiar chord, Gina focused just behind the Lieutenant who REALLY needed to learn about personal space, strummed, and slammed them both with a blast of psychic energy. If it didn't take them out, they wouldn't be up long at the very least. Dolly's turn is flying back towards Gina. Gina uses Energy Blast on Lieutenant and Marine 1: AC 4 Rolled 9(after Probability Control), 26 Psychic Special damage.

Precious pivots her hips after dealing with that dimple cheeked little fairy and sets her stance lower turning to lob another ball of foul smelling -something- over Ezra's head and onto the poor unsuspecting zigzagoon. It's fur will never be the same. Or it's sense of smell. Or sense of taste.
Duty done, she marched proudly to Victor's side and sat on her haunches, waiting to be praised. The large man made eye contact with Gina, then looked down at Precious. The bulbasaur was giving him the side-eye now, as if to ask why he was keeping her waiting.

The Lieutenant and Marine both stare at Gladius, bug-eyed and open-mouthed, before the officer manages to collect himself somewhat. "Y-y-y-you're one of those freaks! Demons in human skin, a Devil Fruit User! No wonder they made you property, animals like you can't be trusted among normal people!" He looks to his second for confirmation, only to hear a dull "thud" as the Marine falls, Aquila looking rather smug as he circles around, the sheen of steel fading from his wings. The Zigzagoon, now sorely outnumbered and without a trainer to direct it, nervously twiddles its tail... and gets burned by Ann for its inattention. Squealing in pain, the little mon thrashes, growling fiercely and attempting to intimidate its enemies, especially Victor. Growl AC 2: 5 Gina, not to be outdone, strums a true power chord, smashing the wobbly Lt to the ground with the force of her attack. He does not rise. Precious puts the final Marine-affiliate down with extreme prejudice, her toxins overwhelming the poor tiny raccoon's system and knocking it unconscious easily.

An exhausted and injured Dolly lands on Gina's shoulder, trying to fluff herself up and look like nothing was wrong. Gina pet her once, then returned her and hid the ball in her bra for safekeeping. Not her hammerspace, mind you, just her actual bra so she could get it easier if needed. Hopefully nothing else would happen, though...Gina slung the guitar to her back, looking around anxiously.
"Let's just get out of here and keep going for the docks. Maybe toss the Marines in an alley or something. I don't want to get into any more fights or alert anyone else." Gina urged, hoping that whatever injuries the others and their mon had could wait until after they were off the island.

Gladius listened with an amused look as the Marine spoke, fearful of his Devil Fruit powers, but when the Marine called him 'property', his whole demeanor changed. Gladius tensed, his eyes widened for an instant in surprise, and then rage. The grin on his face turned to a threatening snarl, and he raised his sword, his arm trembling with rage as he prepared to strike...but then the Marine Lieutenant was brought down...by an acoustic attack from someone else.
Gladius stood frozen in place for a moment, sword still raised, ready to strike before Gina spoke and brought him back around. Gladius snapped out of it, and in a smooth, swift motion, he sheathed his sword.
Gladius sighed heavily. "Tch, what a jerk," he said as he took a few paces forward, grabbing the Lieutenant by the scruff of his collar and, after relieving him if his wallet, dragging the unconscious Marine across the street, to the houses where the townsfolk were hiding. Gladius dropped the Marine Lieutenant unceremoniously in front of one of the houses.
"Hey! He's all yours," Gladius said loudly, bowing to the house, and the people inside, with a flourish of his hands. Then, leaving the Marine Lieutenant in the dirt on the side of the road, Gladius walked back toward the others. Along the way, Aquila came to land on Gladius's shoulder, and he recalled the injured avian.
When Gladius reached Gina and the others, he sighed again. "Leave 'em, let's just go," he said in a deflated voice.
