Airship

Crystal gave a giggle, watching as her friend was whisked away into a dance with another girl, totally unaware that he didn't want to be in such a situation...At least not with that girl.

The girl meanwhile, frowned a bit and forced the boy to put his hands on her waist. "You do know how to dance right?" she asked.

[...]

"Oh come on! Those two things have nothing to do with each other! I didn't tell about my family, because I didn't want everyone I work with to think i'm some sort of yuppie...Because lord knows you have a big mouth Galv...."

Jason sighed once more, running a hand through his messy hair. "And trust me....You do NOT want to meet my mom.....But back to my sister! Uggggh....My sister isn't allowed to dance with boys yet"

[...]

Speaking of Jason's mom, she was currently spinning around the dance floor with Tony. The woman was a skilled dancer, and proved it with every step she made...Perfect and graceful.

Of course like any good woman Kanna knew how to multitask. She moved in close and grinned. Though she was extremely close to the man this was business.

"You know, I've been looking for a sort of merge between my company and another...It would be a good way to expand on clientele and make a virtual monopoly on the transport game....Don't you agree?"

[...]

"Oh yay! We get to play dress up!" Colette exclaimed happily now waiting for her brother to find them a spot they could get out.....Hopefully they would be able to find pretty things to wear. "Oh! Can I wear a poofy dress?" she asked "A red one!"

“I guess we just need to wait and see,” Samuel shrugged, “Not much we can do right now otherwise, it seems.”



“I promise, I won't tell,” Galv told Jason, “If you let me ask Melanie to dance. If she says no, then I won't ask again.”

He grinned at the older boy.



“If we can find one, sure,” Hammah nodded to Colette, then paused, as he looked down. His hand sparked, creating some light, looking through a vent. A large supply closet! Their might be something they could wear there...

Pulling out a few tools, Hammah quickly opened the vent and slid out, landing with a light thud, then helping Colette down.

“We can probably find something here...”

Sama frowned as he was pulled out onto the dance floor.

“Y-Yeah, sorry, I know how to dance.”

He didn't want to dance with this girl. We all know who he'd rather be dancing with. But Sama couldn't escape from this situation, and he didn't want to make a scene... if he did, it might embarrass Tony.

So Sama danced. He didn't look like he was too happy about it.

[…]

Alice frowned and crossed her arms.

“Maybe so, but the edgier we are, the better chance we have of messing up. I don't want any problems to happen, but if they DO happen, we have to be ready!”

[…]

Tony grinned a bit. He was dancing with a beautiful woman, and he was half-drunk... and she wanted to talk business. Kanna was clearly a shrewd business woman.

“A merger, eh? That would create a powerful company. Perhaps the biggest in Hydron. Undoubtedly the most powerful. Sounds... intriguing. Of course, there's all those pesky little details... like majority owner.”

Tony smirked. He was half-drunk, but he was still Tony. “But I'm open to discussions.”

[Outside Ship]

Then, the airship took off! No longer on the ground, it was now flying high above hydron. And as it climbed higher and higher... a group of people were gathering their weapons in the cargo hold...

“Maybe so, but the edgier we are, the better chance we have of messing up. I don't want any problems to happen, but if they DO happen, we have to be ready!”


Didymus paused, still feeling hurt/angsty/emu/what have you.

"Indeed. Again, I apologize. Make no mistake..." he straightened up with another deep breath.

"If there's trouble, I'll be here. And it appears we just took off, anyway, so now we're all committed, right? Haha."

Airship

Jason went silent for a moment before giving in with a small sigh. "Fine....ONE dance...And only if she says yes! And for goodness sakes, you still have oil on your nose..."

It wasn't that Galv didn't like the boy, in fact he enjoyed teaching Galv and thought of him like a little brother....But now he knew about Melanie....That complicated things.

[...]

"Majority owner? Oh dear it sounds like you need another drink" Kanna joked with a laugh, spinning around once more. "Or maybe we should discuss things in a slightly more secluded spot"

That was a joke?


[...]

Colette was helped down by her big brother and looked around, suddenly spotting a pile of clothing not too far away. They looked as if they were old pieces of clothing, perhaps rejected by their owners...

No matter! Colette loved them all the same.

"Oh they're so pretty!" the girl exclaimed, digging through and pulling out an oversized coat. She giggled and threw it to the side, now looking for something for her and her big brother.

"How about this Hammah?" she asked, producing a poofy dress which was just Hammah's sizzzzzeeeee.

The Major paused, and stepped outside onto the deck. Maybe he needed a cigar.

[…]

Sama sighed, stuck dancing with some unknown girl. For some reason, he really hoped her name wasn't Shannon.

[…]

Alice let out a small sigh and took another drink.

[…]

Roll laughed nervously to Maize.

[…]

Tony grinned to Kanna.

“You know, that sounds lovely.” Tony grinned too much.

[…]

Rica paused. “... Something's not right.”

[…]

BOOM!

The door burst open, and several men in scruff clothes, carrying guns, came charging out of the cargo hold, running up towards the ballroom!

Samuel stayed alert, ready to move at the first sign of trouble.

He was worried about two things...Something happening, and his ability getting found out. It's not like he'd lose his job or anything, but he wasn't sure what the higher ups would want to do with an unkillable man.

And he had to be there for his son.

Suddenly, an explosion, and several armed men appeared.

“...Great...” Samuel frowned, glancing to Didymus and Alice.

“Looks like we're down waiting...”



Gallic raised an eyebrow at the scruffy people who came in, waving weapons. He slid into the background, waiting and watching.



Ethan paused, then smirked.

“Ohhh, the entertainment has arrived,” Ethan mentioned to Rica, “And you said these parties were boring.”



Galv grinned brightly.

“Thank you!” he said, forgetting about the oil on his nose, to excited to get a dance with the cute girl that happened to be his mentor's sister.

Galv ran back over to Melanie, outside the bathroom, grinning.

“Would...umm...would you like to dance?” Galv asked, “With...me?”

Unfortunately then there was the attack, which would put a damper on dancing.

“Oh no!” Galv said, eyes wide, concentrating on his power, electricity sparking in it.

“I'll protect you!”



Hammah made a face at the dress, looking at his sister. The storeroom was far enough away from the ballroom that Hammah didn't hear the attack.

“Ummm...That's a dress though...” Hammah said, pausing, “I mean...I wouldn't really fill...errrr...”

Hammah sighed. He had a very tough time saying no to his little sister.

“Alright then...” Hammah sighed, taking the dress.

Suddenly, an explosion!

Didymus' hand flew to his chest...inside his vest, actually, as he drew a weapon...or at least, fingered one-a small yet potent repeating weapon...

There were probably other bodyguards in the room, but Didymus wondered if he should step forward.

If you're so nervous, why don't you be the first to head this off...?

He stepped forward, away from Alice and Samuel. He didn't want to get them involved unless they were ready themselves.

"Yes? ...may we help you?" he asked.

Airship Grand Ballroom

As Spoony tried to explain to his family that Sophie wasn't a commoner (i.e. lie), she stepped up and defended herself on her own. Before anyone could say anything else, though, Fork suddenly felt uneasy.

Then...

BOOM!

An explosion could be heard in the distance.

Spoony raised an eyebrow, "What was that? I thought we were up in the air already."

Fork responded, "Whatever that was... I don't think it's welcome here."

Fork turned back to Sophie and said, "Suddenly, you're starting to look like the least of our worries..."

--

Rock said, "Thank you! You won't regret this!"

Suddenly... the explosion was heard!

Despite being in a wig and a dress, Rock suddenly had a sudden serious expression on his face. He didn't know what that was about, but he knew it couldn't be good.

"Roll... I don't know how we're going to do it, but... I think I'm going to need to get my armor somehow..."

"Flying airship, huh...?" Nevex smiled, having creeped into Avenger's residence rather stealthily. "Eh. I'm not much for parties regardless...but before you ask what I'm doing here, I'd like to make you two an offer. How's about I let you two in my residence, take you under my roof? Just a stranger's offer, really." The teen's scarlet eyes eyed KxS, his smile covered under his black outfit, his eyes then tracing to Avenger.

He seems protective...scary, really. The teen backed away a little. "I'm not here to fight or intrude, really I'm not."

Airship Grand Ballroom

As the bandits from the slums burst in Kanna narrowed her eyes, her plans of getting a bit of business done with Tony (in the literal AND figurative sense) ruined. With an annoyed growl the woman pulled up her dress and produced a weapon;a small revolver she kept attached to her garter

Because Kanna totally would be packing heat, even in a poofy dress.

"I don't appreciate vermin disrupting our party" she stated rather boldly, stepping forward and twirling the pistol around her finger. "I'd sugest you all leave before I lose a very important merger.....Which would be rather unfortunate and lead to be blasting your heads off your scraggly necks."

[...]

Meanwhile Melanie looked confused as Galv vowed to protect her and Jason rushed out behind him.

"Now's not the time for chivalry" Jason hissed, grabbing the two children by the arm. "If you want to help, go find somewhere to hide with her!" he told Galv, before turning to his little sister.

"What's going on?" She asked, trying to see past the commotion...Whatever it was it was bad.

"Nothing Mel, just go with Galv here while I go...Ummm...Help diffuse the situation."

With a small frown the girl nodded, moving over to Galv. Jason gave the redheaded boy a look (demanding that they avoid hiding it dark closets) before rushing off.

[...]

"What the hell do those scum think they're doing!?" Spoony's mother exclaimed, moving closer to her husband anxiously, but still managing to have the same foul expression on her face from before. She then turned to Spoony and Fork "We are getting out of here this instant, lest we get associated with the horrible press this party will be coming into."

From her spot Sophie groaned. This was definitely not the way to deal with some thugs. She had been around enough shady individuals to know she could fight (or at least try!)

"Awww they aren't that tough! I bet me a Spoony could take them!"

[...]


When the bandits rushed in Crystal stumbled back a bit, staying with the crowd and doing what she could not to gain any unwanted attention. She knew enough about guys like this to know that they would just get what they wanted and leave.

....Right?

[...]

Colette giggled as her brother agreed to don the poofy getup (hopefully with his regular clothes underneath), proving just how much of an awesome big brother he was. The girl then turned back to the pile, pulling out a similar (but smaller, and dustier) dress.

"We could be twins!" she exclaimed happily, pulling it over her head but discovering it was a bit big. She coughed as the dust rose.

Rica nodded his head and smirked right back at Ethan.

“A hostile attack on the biggest airship in Hydron, with the wealthiest people aboard. This could very well end with a mess of blood.”

Rica finished his drink and straightened up. “... And whoever beats the bandits could go down a hero. Having a pair of heroes as the head of a company is sure to drive sales.”

Rica was plotting a way to go ahead and profit from this. Are you surprised?

[…]

Tony frowned as the bandits came rushing in, brandishing weapons. He had been in a few sour situations before, since he's a rich guy who hangs out in shady bars, but this one seemed pretty bad.

Then Tony raised an eyebrow as Kanna produced a weapon. This woman seemed dangerous. Tony liked her already.

Stark stepped forward. “There's no need for you to join the fight, Kanna. I'm sure the military will do what we pay them to.”

[…]

Sama stopped dancing immediately and pushed away from the unknown girl. He was grateful to an excuse to get away from her, but at the same time this wasn't what he had in mind.

Sama had a pistol hidden in his tuxedo jacket, so he drew it quickly and ducked down behind the snack bar. He hoped that Crystal and Tony would be safe, and not do anything dangerous.

[…]

Knife paused, raising his eyebrow. He flashed his fanged teeth and leaned back against the wall.

“Amazing... what a disgrace! Common riff raf on this ship... blah.”

[…]

Alice gasped as the ragtag group of bandits burst in. She drew her dagger instant, and stepped forward – only to find Didymus had already moved forward. She frowned... was he talking to the bandits?

There were 8 bandits, ranging from tall to short and from lanky to plump. The head bandit was a shady character with his face covered by a mask and goggles. He was holding a rather oversized rifle that seemed needlessly complex in design.

“You can help me by getting outta the way, pal!” He shouted back to Didymus, and then raised his voice to address the room. “Look! This is a takeover, pal! Yous nobles don't do enough to help the peoples in the slums! Now yerh gonna, pal! Dhis is going to be simple... if ya want off this ship again, yerh gonna pay!”

Another of the bandits laughed.

The leader continued. “It's one hundred thousand per head! If ya don't pay, ye can still leave... over the side!”

Didymus paused, hearing Alice step forward beside him.

Alice, Samuel...Section Three proper...as well as these aristocrats here...it is my mission, my duty, to protect them. I'm STILL her unit's safeguard, after all...and for all that the aristocracy may be planning for me, I can at least show them I can turn the other cheek and do what I'm called to, right?

"Please, lieutenant, be careful..." he whispered. "...my responsibility is to protect you and the rest of Section Three proper as well as these others..."

"I'm afraid that's quite a hefty price...I don't suppose you'd be willing to renegotiate?"

This was a tense situation. He fingered his own weapon, preparing to draw.

"...if not, I'm afraid I must insist that you stand down, and PLEASE do not harm anyone in this room. I don't pretend to understand what it's like to live in the slums...but killing people here isn't going to solve that...and I must warn that if you attempt or make a move to harm anyone, you do so at your own risk..."

If one of them so much as pointed their weapon at an aristocrat, he intended to draw his own and beat them to the draw!

-Airship-

Galv took Melanie's hand, somewhat excited that bandits had invaded the air ship. He could impress this girl!

“I guess we need to find a safe place...” Galv said, “Maybe the engineering room...”



“Before we start, does your kind like or dislike spines being removed in front of them?” Ethan inquired to Rica, referring to aristocrats. “And do you know anyone who would like one as a gift?”

He grinned, cracking his knuckles as he stepped forward.

“You people really are idiots,” Ethan said, shaking his head, “Don't you know? I was from the slums. And I don't appreciate people like you giving people like me a bad name.”

Ethan glared at them. He was wearing a fancy suit. And more then ready to have to get blood out of it.



Samuel frowned, scooting in front of Alice, to help shield her.

He nodded his head, agreeing with Didymus.

“You won't win this fight. If you start something, none of you are going to get off free,” Samuel said, “The smartest thing to do is just stand down.”



Hammah sighed, wearing the dress now as Colette beamed and wore another dress.

“I suppose it could be worse...But I doubt anyone's going to think I'm a girl...My hair's not that shaggy...right?”

Of course, being Hammah, he was still adorable.

Hammah sighed, walking over and dusting off Colette's dress.

“Don't think there's anything here that will fit you that well,” Hammah said, “More meant for...older girls...”

Alice frowned. There was a lot she could have said at the moment, but she stayed quiet because of the attack.

Well, she stayed quiet in regards to speaking to Didymus.

“Please, if you stand down now, maybe we can arrange a special circumstances during your trial...” Alice pleaded.

[…]

Rica chuckled a bit.

“I wouldn't begin to know. I haven't fit into my social class since I was a kid.”

Then Ethan mouthed off to the bandits.

[…]

The head bandit seemed calm and in control; but a few of the others looked nervous.

“Listen up... you all ain't in no place to be givin' no orders. You there, the lady with the gun, jes put it away before you get your pretty head all covered in nasty blood.”

He pointed at Kanna.

“As fer you, mister bossy military man,” He looked to Didymus. “You ain't in no place to give commands. Let me ask ya... you got a gun, I bet, but can you kill eight of us before we open fire? We'll cut down a mess of your precious nobles by the time you kill us all... and considering these people are 'important', that'd be bad.”

The thud leader chuckled.

“As fer you,” He looked to Ethan. “If yer really from the slums, then you lost touch with who ya is. These here blue bloods don't care about us. They'll only understand when some of that blue blood stains the carpet.”

Oddly enough, none of the attackers had actually attacked anyone yet.

The leader then produced the reason why – six sticks of dynamite that had been wrapped together.

“See this? Yeah... if yer all try ta fight back, this ship crashes! And we ain't alone... I got friends of mine down in deh engineering room, ready to blow up the engine!”

[…]

Sama gasped. A bomb in the engineering room? That could kill them all. These guys were either suicidal, or just plain stupid.
