--(No Spoiler)--
Within the bustling central tower of Dome City, many Travelers roamed the area jumping from here to there.....Ban and Timothy are both high above, trying to quickly make their purchases and vacate the area. Their hopes would be dashed, however, as just as they were finding the items they needed to purchase, screams were heard nearby...
"OH MY GOD, LOOK AT THAT! EVERYBODY RUN!!!..." one man in the crowd screamed before disappearing with those nearby.
Many people heard the shout and looked over.....what they saw was a dark cloud of insects forming before rushing towards them. Rather than stay and fight the swarm, they all chose the selfish route which was to flee, ensuring their own safety.....a sentiment developed by all Travelers who've managed to ascend to Dome City.
............
The insect swarm invaded the marketplace, sifting through every stall and working their way upwards...when the beetles managed to reach the highest point, a gush of water appeared out of nowhere, generated by Ban Renald's Water Rushing Wave, which attacked the approaching beetles.
Timothy Lee, standing beside Ban Renald, performed a standard waterbending form ending the set in a rigid movement, causing the wave sent by Ban to immediately freezing over, encapsulating the insects.
The two individuals who were trying to make their purchases both performed the body flicker technique, quickly running down the tower in an attempt to vacant the premises. They were caught off guard and this was no way to fight...
In the ice wave, one of the beetles shook rapidly and began to expand....cracks began to appear until the structure burst open. Though hundreds died from the ice attack, thousands of insects survived and immediately assembled and began to charge after the two fleeing individuals.
*scoff*
"Death Touch seems awfully persistent today..." Ban spat vindictively as he grabbed Timothy and activated his Flying Thunder God, disappearing from the dangerous venue and reappearing a couple of kilometers away.
".....well, we need to lay low for a while before attempting to make the needed purcha----what!?" the stoic Ban had a crack in his indifferent "mask", as he turned to look in the distance, a swarm of insects formed high in the sky before flying in their direction.
'How are they tracking us?!!...' thought Ban before he grabbed Timothy and began his first of many teleportations that were always tracked no matter where they escaped to....even after descending into Altissia and hiding, they were still tracked.
This lasted for days, Ban having to find creative ways to refill his chakra before they could escape...even after so many days, neither he nor the Rook Leader could figure out how they were being found.
....
"...the clever w@nkers, they've moved North.....onward friends!" a drunkard pirate closed his compass once again before hopping into the arms of Chastain who followed the direction pointed out by her partner without question. This same thing has happened hundreds of times over the last few days, she and the other two team members could only stay silent and follow Jack Sparrow's orders....
".....oi, chore boy, did you get the drink I asked for? The essential one?" Jack looked pleadingly at Rango, who had a scowl on his face.
"....of course I did, but does this beer really charge up that compass?" Rango had a hard time believing this nonsense.
"Of course it does, now hand it over quickly!..."
Chastain let a small smile appear on her face before hiding it from Rango and Ukyo, she has grown to love Jack's antics as he makes these days filled with fruitless chasing bearable.....and almost enjoyable.
