Kat was able to rapidly catch up to the skipper once she started flying properly. It didn't take long, and it was quite clear that she could outpace it should she desire. Though Kat still carefully scanned the skies for the Barbarashi as she flew next to the skipper not even a spec of it could be seen on the horizon.
"Ok, so I can certainly outpace the skipper if I'm flying. What's the plan now" asked Kat
"If you don't mind, I'd say you should grab the worm's attention, lead it away for a while then catch back up" said Skye
Grace looked like she wanted to argue but it seemed like a sound plan. Kat was indeed able to fly faster than the sand skipper could sail, and they didn't have a lot of other options. Skye was just a healer, Grace's arrows couldn't injury it properly and Kat said she didn't have the energy to fight it.
