Escape (エスケイプ Esukeipu) was the second Vaglass avatar serving Messiah whom she referred to as "Papa."
History[]
Origin[]
Enter and Escape being created from the data of the various researchers.
Escape was created in Hyper Space using the data of the Transport Research Center, scientists Messiah absorbed in the incident on Christmas 1999. Hiromu's mother Michiko Sakurada was among the "donors" due to Escape naming her two large handguns Gock and Magock, the same names Michiko gave to the statues of black and white dogs she owns that the two guns' charms were modeled after.
Go-Busters[]
Escape is sent from Hyper Space after the emergence of Beet J. Stag and Masato Jin as the new Go-Busters. Escape appears out of nowhere and briefly attacks Enter, flaunting her status over Enter. She then creates Keyloid and has him lock up the people inside a skyscraper who were playing an "escape game" in a scheme to have the KeyZord smash the skyscraper while the people are locked inside, but Keyloid is destroyed by the Go-Busters. She briefly duels with Red Buster before the KeyZord arrives, noting his skill in particular before departing to watch them battle her creation as it created a subspace field. Once it is destroyed, she notes her surprise at their skill before leaving.

After pestering Enter over his meeting with Messiah and telling him they will now work together, Escape takes a child's toy magnet to create Jishakuloid which causes a disruption in the Iwagami district with his power to magnetize people. In the initial engagement against Jishakuloid, the Go-Busters are incapacitated with the exceptions of Masato Jin and Yoko Usami who don experimental protective suits to face Escape and her Metaloid again. Escape quickly destroys Masato's protector but Yoko faces Escape personally, allowing the Go-Busters to assemble and terminate the Jishakuloid. TV STORY-Mission 23: The Will of the Inheritors
Escape covers Rousokuloid as he attempts to use a local television station to broadcast his hypnotic power across the airwaves. Confronting the Go-Busters, Escape is engaged by Blue Buster who hopes that she might give him answers as to the nature of the Avatars. However, upon seeing that getting answers from her is not going to happen, Blue Buster purposely overheats himself, giving Escape the fight she desired.

Powered Custom[]
Following the Go-Busters' upgrade to Powered Custom, Escape is satisfied as she tests their new power in a skirmish. Later facing off against Blue Buster personally, Escape is forced to fall back when her data is damaged with her guns and goggles being struck. TV STORY-Mission 36: Go-Buster Lioh, Shoom!
Whilst thinking of Enter and his use of the Messiah Metaloids can be to destroy Messiah for whatever agenda he has, Escape decides to take matters into her own hands to ensure Messiah does evolve, taking her to a church where a Messiah Card assimilates a bridal tiara to create Tiaraloid. Alerted, the Go-Busters arrive to the church to find a bride running off due to Tiaraloid extracting the girl's digitized love. When Masato and J. arrive, Escape interfere to keep them from destroying Tiaraloid as she crashes more weddings across the city before the Messiah Metaloid completely escapes detection. Having hooked herself up to her tablet, Escape is confronted by Enter who questions her meddling before allowing her to continue upon seeing her resolve. Lured by the Go-Busters who use a fake wedding ploy with Yoko and her former teacher Mamoru Hasegawa, Escape enters the church in a black bridal grown before opening fire at the Go-Busters, luring them away to fight her. As the Go-Busters transform, Escape battles them as Hiromu is forced to leave to engage TiaraZord with Go-Buster Ace and Tategami Lioh. With Tiarazord taken out, Escape takes a blow meant for Tiaraloid as Messiah partially emerge. It is at this point that Escape assumes her upgraded form: Escape Evolve for the first time. As Yellow Buster assumes Powered Custom to combat Escape Evolve, the other Go-Busters dealt with Tiaraloid, leaving Blue Buster Powered Custom to destroy her. With Escape caught off guard, she is hit by Yellow Buster and forced to escape. TV STORY-Mission 37: The Black and White Brides
While Ryuji reaches through to Kenta Sawai, whose body is being possessed by Messiah via a card, Escape Evolve is fought with the other Go-Busters before being spirited away from their finisher by Enter. TV STORY-Mission 39: Finishing Blow! Messiah's Fist
Creating Parabolaloid 2 in the Banshu District to help her find the remaining Messiah Cards, Escape is confronted by Enter as he was revealed to have absorbed a Messiah Card before Parabolaloid 2 leaves to find the Messiah Card he detects in the Kakino District. However, upon finding it, Messiah Card 07 infects Parabolaloid 2 and upgrades him into a pseudo-Messiah Metaloid. Ultimately, Enter, revealing his Enter Unite form, extractes Messiah Card 07 for himself before leaving the downgraded Metaloid to be easily destroyed by the Go-Busters. TV STORY-Mission 40: Suffering J. and the Messiahloid
Escape reluctantly working together Enter to preserve Messiah.
Escape faces off against Ryuji again when he arrives in the dynamo of Megazordloid with Yellow Buster joining the fight soon enough before destroying Megazordloid's dynamo with the two Go-Busters getting the deactivated Messiah Metaloid's captives out in time. With the plan a failure, Escape manages to get out before Buster Hercules destroys MegaZordloid. TV STORY-Mission 42: Attack! Within the Megazord
Escape pilots the new Type Zeta Megazord, evolved via a surviving Messiah Card from a Type Delta which emerges from the wreckage of Megazordloid. Though overwhelming Buster Hercules and Tategami Lioh with ease, Megazord Zeta is forced to fall back as it has yet to fully stabilize. TV STORY-Mission 42: Attack! Within the Megazord
Escape accompanies Enter as he uses Kentateloid, created from two remaining Messiah Cards, to exploit the Go-Busters anger at him in the run-up to Christmas, provoking the Go-Busters with the memory of the events of thirteen years ago. Escape holds Masato and J back so Kentateloid can deal with the Go-Busters trio, with the latter fight ending in a stalemate as Messiah begins to manifest in the fused Metaloid. Though Escape tells Enter that they should merge the Cards in their possession to recreate Messiah, Enter tells her that the evolution of a new Messiah will be more interesting and that Escape should reconsider her dependence on the Messiah she knew. Ultimately, however, once Enter Unite salvages the two Messiah Cards from Kentateloid's destruction, Escape takes them from him to enhance Megazord Zeta. Grabbing Enter and telling him that she will restore Messiah to his former glory, Escape has Megazord Zeta grind him into data within its hands before turning her attention to the Go-Busters. TV STORY-Mission 43: Christmas Determination
Having seemingly terminated Enter and intending to wipe out the Go-Busters, Escape battles their Megazords in the enhanced Megazord Zeta as Messiah's consciousness surfaces and defeats Go-Buster Ace. After the Go-Busters retreat despite the intent of a gravely injured Hiromu to continue, Megazord Zeta proceeds to summon ten Megazord models. Once repairs are done, the Go-Busters head out to face the first wave of Vaglass Megazords with Cheeda Nick piloting Go-Buster Ace to give Hiromu time to heal. After the first batch of two Alphas and two Betas are destroyed, Escape join the fray in Megazord Zeta as Gamma and Delta Megazords arrive. Learning that the Zeta-Type is attempting to assimilate the summoned Valgass Megazords, Go-Buster Oh and Buster Hercules destroy the second wave before the final wave, composing of each Megazord of the four main archetypes, arrive. Even with FS-0O providing aid, Megazord Zeta absorbs the remaining Alpha, Beta, and Gamma types to evolve into the titanic Messiah Reboot. It is at this point that, to her shock, Escape's data is reabsorbed back by Messiah as he has no more need for her. Ultimately, despite initially overpowering the Go-Busters, the tide is turned against Messiah Reboot when Hiromu returns, bringing with him an anti-virus with which he impales Messiah Reboot, resulting in the utter destruction of Messiah.

Forms[]
As an Avatar, Escape was able to cheat death as she simply reformed whenever she was destroyed as long as the source of her manifestation is left intact. In combat, she used great strength and agility in conjunction with her pistols; making her dangerous in both long range and melee fighting. Her pistols apparently possessed endless ammunition and she could also use the dog charms to attack.
