Chapter 3 - Ambush in the Sky (2)

Unbeknownst to the crew and the girl, two stowaways had hidden themselves inside some of the cargo before it had been brought onboard the airship. Two of the barrels not to far from were the girl stood held these sneaks.

*Pssst!, Can you hear me?* whispered a gruff voice from the left barrel.

*Yes, Sir I can!* answered an equally quite voice from the right barrel.

A few awkward seconds of silence passed.

The right barrel suddenly spoke. *By the way... What are we doing?*

The left barrel shook slightly, a very faint annoyed sound came from it.

*What kind of idiot are you?! You don't even know why we're here!?* the gruff voice whisper-yelled. *Well, you always get mad when I ask...* muttered the right barrel.

*WHAT!?* the left barrel nearly yelled. *N-nothing!* The right barrel hurriedly said.

*We're here to see that person, over there see?* There was a pause in the conversation. *Err... it's completely dark in here...*

*Look through the hole, dumbass!* the left barrel trembled with the irritation. *Oh Yeah!* the right barrel exclaimed with a bright tone. A world weary sigh came out of the left barrel. *I see, so that's the woman.* the right barrel murmured. *Yup! Now we're going to make our move, you ready?* excitedly whispered the left barrel. The right barrel shook nervously *Y-yes, Sir!*

...

The young woman was suddenly startled out of her thoughts when a loud roar from one of the barrels echoed across the deck. Bursting out of two barrels near the ships railing with ferocious yells, stood a pair of heavily armorered soldiers. Their plated armor and swords gleamed coldly from the sudden ray of moonlight. A patch of clouds moved, opening up for the moon to shine down on, the tense situation taking place on the airship below.

The woman and the rest of crew turned sharply to face the threatening men. The man who had come out of the left barrel, raised his shortsword and rested the blade on his shoulder. He sneered at the crew a confident and smug glint in his eyes. He gazed around at the crew, his eyes lingering on the shocked girl for a second. He began to laugh evily, his armor clanking with his laugh. He suddenly stopped and swing his sword downwards to point at the captain. He grinned menacingly at the nervous man.

"We're taking over this ship now, if you don't wanna get hurt then do as we say!"
