"Is this the place?"

"Yeah, it is," Mao Mao nodded, eyes still starry due to how stunning she was, much to his apprentice's annoyance. 

"Do you need us to come with you for protection?" Badgerclops asked, concern over his awed eyes aimed at the moth, as if she was a fragile butterfly who could collapse with a gentle touch. 

"No, it's fine. I'm sure my sweetheart will protect me," she smiled, allowing the glitter in her eyes to shine.

"Okay then! Just know that the Sheriff Department will come should you need help!" Mao Mao declared. He was not going to let her down! No way!

Adorabat growled internally, discomfort stewing in her heart over this. This lady only spelt trouble, no matter how pretty she was. 

"It's no problem," Manque waved it off. "See you around then." 

"Likewise!" Badgerclops grinned, a red tint on his face. Gosh, this lady was really pretty!

And so, the trio left the ex-model to herself, watching the Airship with contemplation. 

"Why did you choose to join this ragtag, Ratarang sweetie?" she asked herself. "I can give you better than this. A mansion with all the riches you want.... So why join these idiots?" 

Well, it didn't matter anymore. She was going to get him back, no matter what. She loved him so much.... She would rescue him from this group... 

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!

The Sky Pirates looked up, still enwrapped in their warm, familial hug. It was quite an awkward scene, with Koby and Tanner on the outside and Ramaraffe and Boss Hosstrich on the inside with little Ratarang in the middle, but for once they didn't care. 

"Who is it?" Tanner hissed out, expecting it to be someone from the valley or something. 

However....

"Oh hi there! Have any of you seen Ratarang?"

The moment that voice started speaking, Ratarang's eyes had widened in fear and terror. Ramaraffe knew her partner very well, and this showed that the person was the woman terrorising him. 

Boss Hosstrich noticed as well, so he gently pried the small, sniffling rat out of the hug and slowly carried him even deeper, allowing the others to prepare for this visitor- no, intruder. 

The only female looked at the door, steeling herself for any surprises. She had heard stories from Ratarang to know that this lady was bound to be gorgeous, but she wasn't going to let that fool her. Not if she was going to take Ratarang to a place he didn't want to go to. 

They were a family. Nothing could change that.

This was how she managed to open the door to the moth, bracing herself.

Indeed, Manque Mothila WAS stunning. Luscious blonde hair that went down to her hips, sparkly black eyes that only sent shivers down the cyborg giraffe's spine, and a prehistoric grey dress that didn't impress her at all stood there.

Ramaraffe was jealous, to be honest.

But this lady was a psychopath.

She wasn't.

That was enough to soothe her, alright, "Hello there. Who are you?"

"Oh hi! I was wondering whether I could speak to Ratarang!" The other cheerfully spoke.

"No, I'm afraid you can't," she coldly replied. Normally ditzy eyes, now filled with concentration, stared back at the moth, as if daring her to ask.

It seemed like she had taken the challenge, because her eyes narrowed, "Why not?"

"Because Ratarang is busy," Koby snarled at her, now back with Tanner to form Orangusnake. The captain towered over the moth, a scowl now present.

If Manque was intimidated by this, she didn't show it, "But I'm his-"

"Stalker," Ramaraffe finished, now looking even more angry at the ex-model. She was definitely not happy at all. If anything, she was FURIOUS. "You're just a spoiled brat to us. We all worked hard to get where we are today regardless of our looks. Despite that, you still think that we would care if you have a pretty face? Puh-leeze. We're not called the Sky Pirates for nothing."

"Ramaraffe is right. So you better leave before I give you a beating," Orangusnake growled at her.

"Please-"

"NO," they did not look like they were happy at all.

Manque was now brimming with her own anger. How dare they do this?! How dare they hold her beloved away?!

"LEAVE, BEFORE WE MAKE YOU!" Ramaraffe screeched, enraged enough to scare even Orangusnake into submission.

Well, if it could scare Orangusnake, then it sent Manque running, screaming angry protests before they slowly faded off.

This left the two to watch her leave, feeling satisfied and happy that they could send her running.

For now.

They had this onimous feeling that they would meet again.

Because as long as Manque Mothila was around, Ratarang was not safe.

Requester: super-un-stable

Prompt: Sky Pirates vs Manque showdown

Notes: Brief hint of Ramaraffe x Ratarang, Manque belongs to the requester.
