58 Enemies, even when we're up in the sky

The plane trip has gone smoothly, nothing much happens other than the others being loud as heck, but that didn't disturbed the pilot, since they are wearing headphones. It's now 12:00, still Chiharu's turns to drive. As Zeolite is asleep beside her, he's probably tired after all these fights he's having with enemies, and messed up sleeping schedules.

"What is this for?" Hector asks looking at the split back door near the tail, "A door maybe?" Ashley shrugs, "I don't think that's a great idea to play with that." Theresa said, trying to get him staying away from it, "If you say so, then I'd better obliges it!" Hector grins and returns to his seat, Theresa sighs in relief, she's glad that he listen to her.

"Hello! You two in there?" Dr. Nicholas asks as the two hears his voice from their headphones. "Yeah, what's wrong?" Chiharu asks, "Where's Zeolite?" Dr. Nicholas asks his daughter, "Asleep, it's my turn now, don't worry, I got the plane under my control." Chiharu said reassuring him, "Oh, I see. Please look at the radar, I don't know if mine's is correct or not. Are three red dot in there?" Dr. Nicholas asks, as Chiharu take a glances at the radars.

"Yes…6 o'clock behind…are those enemies?" Chiharu asks and continues to focus on the way, "You're right, please tell the other, and wakes Zeolite up." Dr. Nicholas said, as he began to clicks many keys on his holographic keyboard. "Zeolite-" "I'm already awake, I will inform them." Zeolite said interrupting her, "That's great! Hear my instructions!" Dr. Nicholas said and stares at the holographic screen in front of him, observing the enemies movement.

"The enemies are 100 meters behind! Chiharu please be careful on controlling the plane! We can't risks life and my beautiful Skylark 2.0!" Dr. Nicholas said worried about their life and his dear Skylark. "Jeez, I know! No need to tell me twice!" Chiharu said, replying to her father words.

"Can I switch channel?" Zeolite asks, "To where? The plane? You can, just click that button on your left side." Chiharu said while touching the button on her left sides of the headphone, as she keeps focusing on the way. "Thanks." Zeolite said thanking her before pressing the button.

"Oi, dumbasses, can you hear me?" Zeolite voices was heard from the speakers, "Wow, a nice way to greet us." Ashley sarcastically said, "There's no need for your sarcasm." Zeolite replies annoyed, "Crap, he can hear me." Ashley said under her breath, "Of course I can. Now, I want you to follow my instructions." Zeolite said, and takes another breath.

"You see that door on your right? Open it. But be careful, grab onto something or you'll sucked out of this plane." Zeolite said, Hector then reaches for the door, and opens it, as they can feels winds surging in. "Whoa! it's so windy!" Hector said in awe as he grabbed onto a railing besides the door, while Arkus is wrapping his tail around Hector's left shoulder, preventing him to falls.

"It seems you already opens it. Theresa, is your Mana all recovered?" Zeolite asks, making sure their conditions are good. "Yeah, why?" Theresa asks back. "Get on top of the plane. There's enemies 60 meters behind our plane. If we don't act fast, they're gonna get us." As soon as Zeolite mentions enemies, Ashley quickly raises her hands and just about to speak, "No. you're gonna causes damages to the plane too, indeed the damages is big and will take the enemies down in one blow, but your recoils is too risky." He said stopping her from saying a thing.

Ashley puffs her cheeks and slumps back on her seat, crossing her arms. "Theresa, we're counting on you. Please do your best in this unfamiliar land of fighting." Zeolite said encouraging her, "Mhm! I'll do my best to take them down!" Theresa smiles as she get in front of the door, feeling slightly nervous. Hector's hand land on her shoulder, "You can do it! If you fall, I will catch you! I will stay near the door! You can count on me!" Hector grins encouraging her, Theresa giggles, "Thanks! I can do it!" Theresa said encouraging herself.

"Theresa! There's a ladder beside the door! Please use that!" Zeolite said informing her, Theresa look at her right and sees a ladder, just like Zeolite mentioned, she grabs the upper rung with her left hand, and the other hand on the rung upper her left's, as she lets her legs off of the surface, surprising Hector, luckily she succeed on putting her foots on the lower rung, Hector sighs in relief seeing her succeed.

She climbs up the plane, using her arms to drag the rest of her body up, she sighs in relief when she got up the plane, 'This is weird!' She thoughts since this is the first time she's in a plane, and it's the roof of the plane, that just make her heart about to bursts out from her chests.

She finally stands on both of her legs, as she squints her eyes and sees three flying objects. She takes a deep breath, calming herself down as she straightened her pose. She relaxes her left hand in front of her, as she pull her right hand behind, fire arrows forms in between of both her hands, as it forms into an arrow. She aimed it at the very front flying object, and when she was sure it's in the right aims, she releases the imaginary string she uses, as the arrow flies to the flying object, falling in an instance.

Theresa observes their movements, as she seeing a different positions they're on. They're now flying side to side, but the problem is, they're rotating. "Seems like someone controls them." Theresa mumbles as she pulls her right hand once again, fire arrow appears in between her hands, she aimed it at one of them, and releases it, as it successfully hits it, as the flying object falls to freely, leaving one more,

The last one moves freely, as they created a shield in front of them, Theresa then pulls her hand behind, fire arrow appears, she let go of the imaginary string as it hits the flying object, but it didn't broke them, not even a scratch, instead the armor just become more sturdy.

'W-What? How?' Theresa thoughts panicking as it got closer to the plane. She then remembers her teammates encouraging words, she takes a deep breath, and pulls her right hand behind, as another fire arrow appears. 'You can do this! Just powered your fire a little bit! And remember the archery your uncle teaches you!' She thoughts encouraging her once again.

Something changes to her arrow, as blue flames suddenly surging up in her fire circulates and coloring the arrow blue, 'What is this? Nevermind, just shoot!' She thoughts as she hold her breath, she releases the imaginary string as the arrow flies at the last flying object, and out from her expectations, the arrow explodes when it comes contact with the flying object. Theresa covers her eyes, guarding it with her arm, as she can hear metallic parts from the flying object hits the plane. She removes her arm when she thinks the explosions has died down, as she stares at the things she does, "Whoa…Amazing!" She said completely shocked that she can does that.

"That was so good! How do I does that again?" She asks herself as she tries to produce blue flames with her hands, but instead of blue flames, it's just her usual red flames. "Aww…seems like I can't does that again." She slumped in disappointment, as she unintentionally steps back, and step on the wrong place, instead of the plane roof she's stepping she step the empty, or the hollow space of the sky.

"Ah shit!!!" She shouts as she can feels her body lose their balances, fears of dying rushes in her head, since she don't want to die ironically, she still wants to help the others, she still wants to meet her parents again, she still wants to see the world peace Hector promised off, and she still wants to hang out with her friends again. She can't move her body, as if it will prevent her from falling.

She closes her eyes tightly, she doesn't want to embraces dead yet, but she has no choice, and is forced to take whatever that will happens to her, until someone grabs her legs. "See? I got you!" Hector grins while holding her right leg with his right hand, as Theresa stares at him upside down, "Hector!" She said surprises, as she feels happy, grateful that he catches her. "I was right, you were in trouble of you curses!" Hector beamed before pulling her in the plane.

"What happened?!" Ashley asks jolting from her seat, "She tripped." Hector said looking back at her "Please don't make me have heart attack, Theresa!" Arkus whines snuggling his head on her cheeks, "Sorry, as he says, I tripped." Theresa giggles and strokes his head softly. Ashley then comes to their side, making sure Theresa is okay.

After a while, Zeolite spokes, "Did something happened? I hear Theresa cursing." Hector grins and ruffles Theresa's hair, "Yeah, something happened." He said, replying to his questions. "I see, should I check what's happens there?" Zeolite asks, "Nah, I got everything on my watch! You don't need to come here! Just watches over the plane!" Hector replied as he close the door.
