"Can someone give me a hand passing me these Welcome home postures, so that I can hang them up?"
"Allow me."
"Thank.....wait a sec. Clothes don't talk, and nobody else is on board. Who are you?
Yuuuaaaaaghhhhhh!!!!
*Oof*
Thanks for catching me. That ladder was tipsy turvy."
"Why don't you use your powers?"
"Ice breaks, and at the speed we're going, I want to establish a warmth feel, and not a…..
Theo?"
"I've never heard 'not a Theo,' before. Is that a new color or is it a remake, like the color 'Flesh?'"
"No...I mean…no. What are you doing here? You already sent the report. We know everything."
"Clearly, I can see why Elwin hired the Detectives. Help you keep in your place. Where is everyone, by the way?"
"Haven't you seen the Weather? They are out giving Magic."
"And you are in here, while Elwin is out there? I really must have hit my head when Alexa pulled me up. That's probably where this bruise came from. Whiplash."
"I assure you, you are not dreaming. Elwin wants to experience snow for the first time, and what better then in the safety of her people."
"I thought the Kingdom was her people."
"There, she has to be a Queen. Here, she can indulge in all her forbidden desires. While I....fulfill mine."
"I heard. Do you even know who you are rescuing?"
"Of course I do."
"Don't lie."
"I'm not, and we are honored that you chose us. Ruby rescued you, but before she could complete the job....the Dragons got her. None of us can pinpoint as well as her, but we got Lolli....and we got us. I hope that is enough.
Is there no way you stayed in contact with her at all?"
"Godfather can see everywhere, and can send Guns anywhere. All animals die by a bullet."
"That's not the saying. It's, 'All People die by the Dragon. For once we came, we shall return.'"
"Touching, but although your words pierce the heart, my bullets stop the heart."
"Your...bullets?"
"I mean, Godfather's bullets. I have handled so many of them it feels like mine. Godfather sends the Ship, I go with a crew to help unload and pass around. Like feeding the homeless. No registration, no nothing. Just show up, and you get a free gun. Under one condition."
"I mean, you can't eat a gun, so there has to be. What did Godfather force them to do?"
"Dig."
"Dig?"
"In exchange for guns, he commanded them to dig. Asked nothing in return, and said nothing about what the people of their Planets were looking for.
The Planets thanked the Godfather for sending them an arsenal, and although to dig was an odd request, it was a request nonetheless. So, they thanked him by sending him food. Godfather sent the Ship. Depots like me unloaded, and then the people reloaded with Food before the Ship sped away."
"He didn't look after them at all?"
"When you're trying to find something, it's hard remembering who you hired."
"I mean.....yeah. I get your point. The Ocean is a vast place. The lands are all one dimensional, but the Ocean dips.....neveredning. Believe me. I used to take a firestarter, and swim down. We'd play a game of Chicken. See how far we last before the other gets scared. I saw some very scary things.
Even the Sirens wouldn't go that low, so...they dared us to.
Many went down, not many came back up. That's when our King used his Trident to close the Trench and told us never to go near there again."
"So, it's not Treasure you Mermaids are guarding, but a Trench."
"It's not just any trench. It's the bottom of the Bowl...…..but I can see that my rambling is not helping you, for it is not your problem; but mine. I'm just saying that even as us Mermaids, there are places you can't go. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should."
"Huh.
….Come on, Scarlett."
"But."
"You got it started. It will be there when you return."
"Ooh....Okay. Coming."
"......I feel stronger already, Jacklyn.
Roarrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This Plane doesn't fly me. I......…fly it.
*Phueeeeem*
"Wooo, woo, woo. Don't do…."
"Aaaaaaghhh.
*Splat*
"This Plane is bigger than I thought."
"Then don't touch. Allow me."
"Thanks, Alexa.
Fairy, can you pass me the Screwdriver?"
"Here you go?"
"Thank you.
Next time, remember. They're stretching. Don't break the Dough before it rises. You'l jl have a mess everywhere if you do. Trust me, I know. These Fairies will help you kneed…."
"And I'll...…help you need."
"Ariel, that's exactly what I said."
"Is not."
"Is too."
"ElllllLuaammmmm."
"......Ellluaammmmmm."
"Ummm….Girls. Are you ok?"
"Of course I am."
"Of course I am."
"Why?"
"Theo."
"Jacklyn, what are you…."
"Just grab my hand and come with me. Run.
Huh?"
"All of you.
Crew, back to the ship."
"But Jacklyn."
"I SAID NOW."
"Hey, don't leave us. What about your base? What about…."
"We won't make it to the ship in time."
"FROSTWING, WE NEED YOU."
"Alexa."
"I know. Don't let them reach the ship."
"Invisibility….."
*Phuuuraauuummm*
"Hahahaahahaaa. With this Dragonblood, I have gained his eye.
Lightning!!!!"
*Pirrassschhhhhh*
"Aaaaaaghhh.
She got me."
"I.....see... you..."
"Wind, clone!!!
*Phueeeeeeemmm*
Make copies."
*Boom. Boom. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.*
"Oh boy.
I can't tell who the real ones from the fake. They all have heat signatures."
"Then allow me. Eyes only rest of solids.…..There!!!!
FIRE!!!!"
*Phuueeeeemmm*
*Phoooooafffffff*
"Sorry, Ladies. We're not there."
*Click, click, click, click, click, click*
"Darius, take us out of here. Warp speed three.
Theo, where are we going, first?"
"First, I need to find you a new Ship. How about we steal one of Godfathers? Trust me, we'll need it where we're going."
