61 And...we've crashed

'I'm short of breath…' Zeolite thoughts as he tries to get out from the creature grips, but it just get tighter, and causes him to chokes on his breath. 'I have to think about something fast…' Zeolite thoughts and reaches to his pocket, his hand trembles, his face getting blue because of the lacks of oxygen.

"Holy crap! What's that shit?!" Hector shouts when he sees the creature's back, "Wait…Zeolite?! We need to do something!" Ashley said when she sees Zeolite struggling, "Right!" Theresa said and raises her hands, fire bursts out from her hand, and just about to attack the creature until Zeolite stops her, "W-Wait!...D-Don't shoot!...I-It's pass through!..." Zeolite said, in the middle of losing all of his oxygen left in his lungs, as he puts his left palm out, telling her to hold her fire down.

"Then what should we do?! He's gonna get choke to death!" Ashley said, trying to find a solutions, Hector thinks hard, trying to find solutions for this problem, he observes the cockpit, as his eyes lands on the windows. "Dust…wind…Ah!" He said and runs toward the windows.

The creature turns their head at him and use their other hand to grabs him, as Hector slides down and pulls one of his sword, throwing it at one of the window frames, it breaks into pieces, the creature then got sucks out the window, dropping Zeolite onto the floor with a thud. "Zeolite!" Ashley yells rushing to his side.

"Yosha! I did it! Hector cheers, "As expected of Master!" Arkus cheered, clapping his paws together, "How did you know that will work? But that was amazing!" Theresa said complimenting him, "Ohoho! Of course! The great Shirogane is amazing!" Hector said smugly and laughs.

Meanwhile with Chiharu, she who is concerns with the plane conditions, she who is afraid of her father's reactions, she who thoughts they will be dead meats when they come back, and she will be one of the dead meats, had her looks full of fears, shocks, her eyes stares at the window frame Hector broke, and had her jaw drops on the ground.

"What's wrong with you? Stop hanging your mouth open!" Hector grins wrapping his arm around her, "You broke the window frame! Oh god…Father will be so mad…" Chiharu said covering her face with her hands, "Psh, it's just a window frame, who cares." Hector scoffs, "He does! He even noticed a single scratch! And this! A big damage!" Chiharu said holding his collars, "Whoa, whoa! Calm down Missy! We can replace it with a new one!" Hector said and puts both of his palm in front of him.

"Okay, please calm down and return to your seat, you see? We're falling." Theresa said pointing to outside the windows, as they can sees he distant ground. And they feels the gravity forces becomes heavier than before. "Oh, shoot!" Chiharu yells and quickly pulls the yoke up, before it hits the ground, as the ground nearly clash with the ground, but it seems Chiharu is too late to bring the plane up, since a tree stood in front of the plane, and she can't just flies the plane to the side due to being so close to the ground.

"We're not gonna make it!" Chiharu yells, Ashley quickly put her right palm on the floor under her, "Ice Shield!" She said, her ice spread from her hands to the entire plane in the speed of lights, as the plane hits the tree, thanks to her ice, it didn't do much damages to the plane, just a couple of scratches.

Chiharu plops herself onto her chair behind her, tired because of all the tense she feels. "We're safe…" She sighs in relief.

"Oh snap, where are we?" Hector asks looking out the windows, "You can observes the area, I'm gonna take a look at the engine." Chiharu said, shooing him away, "Alright!" Hector said and head to the door, "Can I go with you?" Theresa asks, "Sure! Feel free to!" Hector grins and let her go out from the plane first.

"Hup!" Ashley picks unconscious Zeolite up and carries him onto the passengers seat. "Damn! He's heavy!" She sighs and wipes her forehead, "Ashley! Can you tell me what happened?" Celine asks approaching her, "Celine! Finally awake from your deep slumber! About what happened…we crashed." Ashley said, telling her what happened, "We crashed? How? What happened before it? I've heard glass breaks before." Celine asks once again, in order to clear her confusion, "Oh, that's Hector, he broke the window to rescue Zeolite from a creature!" Ashley said giving her some light explanations, "I see…I'm sorry I couldn't help with anything…" Celine apologies, "No need to apologies! It must be a pain to have your conditions right now! Don't be sorry!" Ashley said trying to encourages her up.

"Hey you two! Mind helping me with things?" Chiharu asks from the cockpit, "Seems like she needs our help, let's go!" Ashley said and grabs her hand, dragging her inside the cockpit.

Chiharu is checking the plane conditions, and noticed some of them are not stable. Chiharu looks behind her to see Ashley and Celine standing there, she points at Ashley. "You, can you check the engine outside? Don't mess up!" she said warning her, "Yeah, I know." Ashley said and leaves the cockpit to go outside, "You, how many hours since father gives you the medicine?" She asks, "It's been 24 hours and half!" Celine replies to her questions.

"Take your bandages off then, the effect should already works." Chiharu said, as Celine's face brightened in happiness, "Really? I can see again?" She asks still can't believes what Chiharu tells, "Jeez, just do it and see." Chiharu said, rolling her eyes in annoyance, "Ah, right, sorry." Celine apologies, "Don't be sorry. It's fine." Chiharu sighs, and stood up, approaching her.

"Did you need any help?" She asks, "A-Ah, I'm fine! I can do it on my own!" Celine said insisting her help, "If you say so." Chiharu said and returns to her seat, looking over the engine there. Celine pulls the dagger on her back and slices the bandages, the bandages falls to the ground as she stares at the beautiful sunset in front of her.

"I…I can see again!" Celine said in relief, tears swelled up on her eyes, and slides down her cheeks, "It's beautiful!" Celine said, as her voices sounds wobbly and shaky, making Chiharu to turns around and quickly approaches her, "Y-You okay?! Did s-something happens?" Chiharu stutters, since she rarely express her concerns to someone, she always hide these kind of emotions behind her harsh attitudes.

"I'm perfectly fine! And are you Chiharu? You looks so beautiful!" Celine said, and gives her a toothy smiles, as tears still slides off her cheeks. Chiharu blushes at her compliments and looks away, "S-Shut up! I-I…Ugh…T-Thank you…" She said flustered, as she said the last sentences quietly, "What was that?" Celine asks while wiping her tears away with her wrist.

"N-Nothing important!" Chiharu said and crosses her arms, "Alright then! And what may I help with?" Celine asks, looking up at her, "J-Just checks the engine on the tail…" Chiharu said quietly, "Pardon? I can't hear you clearly." Celine said, asking for some repeat on her tasks, "Just check the engine on the tail!" Chiharu said, raising her voices, "Okay!" Celine smiles and turns around to leaves the cockpit.

"See something yet?" Hector asks, "No, not yet. How's yours?" Theresa asks for his side, "Not a single things other than trees…Oh wait! There's a building!" Hector said and points to the building stood far from them, Theresa squints her eyes to sees the building he's pointing at, and finally sees the building. "You're right! You have keen sights, Hector!" Theresa said, complementing him once again.

"Aww, thanks for your compliments!" Hector grins, "Just for Master? Hmph." Arkus said, getting jelly of his Master, "Hah! You're jealous!" Hector teases and laughs, "Shut your mouth!" Arkus yells annoyed, "Ahaha. You're also cool, the fact you're able to smells trouble compares to us that can't smells." Theresa said, complimenting him too, "Yeay! Thanks! You're Fire Magic is also cool!" Arkus said complimenting her back, "Thank you!" Theresa smiles.

"I got a thank you from her, Master!" Arkus said showing off to his Master, "Damn you idiot fox!" Hector curses at him, "Are you jelly too?" Arkus asks with a teasing smile on his face, "Psh, I am not!" Hector scoffs. "H-Hey, we should get going." Theresa said, trying to stop the abnormal relationships these two have.

Hector opens his eyes and stares straight into her eyes, catching her off guard, "Theresa…" He trailed off, and takes a deep breath, "W-What?" Theresa asks, confused. Hector clears his throat repeatedly, making Arkus to stares at him in confusion. "You're so f*cking beautiful!!!" He shouts loudly, bringing his hands out, while shouting like there's no tomorrow.

Theresa stares at him, trying to process what he's saying, and blushes furiously at his random act, as she tries to speaks, but none comes out from her mouth due to overwhelming feeling that rushed to her.

Meanwhile with the others, "You're so f*cking beautiful!!!" Hector voices shouts, making Chiharu falls from her seat, "What the hell?" She asks, trying to find the sources of the loud sounds. Celine hears Hector's faint voices, "Hm? Did I hear something?" She asks herself, and shrugs it off. While Ashley was holding the heavy metal plate that covers the engine, and accidentally dropped it when she heard Hector's loud voices, making it falls to her foot. "AGH! F*CK!!!" She yelled loudly and holds her foot in pain, as she falls to the ground.
