Sneaking into the airship wasn't as hard as Alex had envisioned it to be, all he had to do was walk towards it, and tell the guards his step father had given him permission. Of course everyone in the sect knew that Red dragon and Alex had absolutely no amicable relationship with each other, They could be considered enemies, however in regards to status, especially within the sect, Alex was second only to the sect head and his grandfather, so if he said something was blue only someone with a death wish would say it was green.
"So do any one of us know how to fly an airship?" Yun Fao asked as the climbed up into the car sized airship.
"I have watched movies of people driving airships, how hard can it be?" Louis said as he made himself comfortable on the driver's seat.
""" We're all going to die."""
Alex felt a shiver run through his spine at the voice of the triplets, he wished the girls won't be so dark. Words had power, that's what he's been taught be his dad. Alex shifted his focus t the airship itself, obviously it was red, the paint coating it was had motifs of a golden dragon on it. It's wings were not deployed yet, but the airship was big enough to carry all of them, rather than the normal luxury four sitter airships, this was a six sitter airship, but apart from that Alex knew nothing else about it, and quite honestly the blacksmith in him was itching to take this beautiful machine apart.
It had really cushy and comfortable leather seats, firm seatbelts, a convertible hood, and lot's of buttons, and really nice looking wheel with a dragon head in the middle. But on the dashboard, there was a tiny symbol of a horse reading itself up in the air. Alex might not know much about airships, but he knows quite a bit about cars, well at least their brands. This airship was a Ferrari, options are this thing would be a beast in the air, really really fast.
All of a sudden the airship lurched forward and they were all pushed back into their seats, it was still flying low so it scraped past a few other airships parked beside it, raising Sparks as the paint job on it had already been scratched, but as if that wasn't enough it bumped against another airship in front of it, forcing them all to lurch forward as Alex and Louis slammed their foreheads on the dashboard, and the unlucky Yun Fao was thrown forwards, out of the airship, over it's hood, head first into the rear glass of the car parked in front. Louis's head had smacked the horn of the airship causing a loud dragon roar to fill the night, causing a disturbance within the hanger. Probably half of the sect already heard that and woke up from their sleep.
"Ahhh! Sorry, I'm a little rusty, Hehehehehe I think I got it now don't worry. Yun Fao are you okay?" Louis asked as he rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment.
Yun Fao pulled himself out of the destroyed windshield, wiping the residual glass of his body as he turned around, fire in his eyes and spat out a particularly sharp shad of glass that slanted last Louis neck and went through the head rest of his seat, before Sabine pinched it out of the air, stopping it right in front of her eyes.
"Do I look okay to you?" he asked with annoyance as he waved his hand, catching the piece of glass Sabine had thrown right back at him. Louis seemed to duck into his clothes, his collar covering half his face as Yun Fao stepped into the airship and went back to his position in between the triplets. Sabine didn't say anything about the share that almost took her eyes, but none the less the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
Louis started the Airship again, t released a soft him that sent really comfortable vibrations across the entire seat. It slowly rose up above the plethora of parked cars and airships, then Louis slowly made his way out the hanger. However he was still hovering a bit low, so the exhaust pipes underneath the airship had left quite a few burn marks on the other cars and airships, heck some of them even caught on fire.
They made their way out of the hanger much to the dismay and horrified gaze of the guards responsible for keeping the palace safe. It was safe to say that they would be punished and losing their jobs, though Alex hoped not.
"cant this airship go any faster!" Yun Fao asked in annoyance as they moved through the vehicle district in a leisurely manner, if they kept up with the speed it wouldn't take long for them to be caught and then get in real trouble.
Alex looked and noticed a button on the side of the steering wheel with a symbol of a wing, he pushed it and seconds later a port opened on the side not the airship, releasing wings and extra flaps on rear of the airship. This time the airship lurched forward at an incline, moving so fast that Alex almost didn't notice the massive array covering the entirety of the Wudang mountains, however the airship went through the array with ease, going high until all that was around them were clouds and thin cold air.
"Level the Airship out Louis!" Alex yelled at him, scrambling for his seat belt so that he doesn't get thrown off again. Louis pushed forward, making the airship take a nose dive as it began falling from the sky at an incredible speed. He pulled back on the wheel again, this time a bit lighter and was able to level it out.
He looked at Alex with sweat on his brow and his chest heaving up and down, he was definitely terrified. He gave a crooked grin, but obviously Alex knew he's nerves were frazzled. They've faced off against Nagas and Manticores and Basilisks, and they almost got defeated by an Airship, a freaking car with wings. The idea of falling from such a high altitude was not exactly pleasing to anyone of them. Louis sat back, easily finding the autopilot button and engaging it, letting the wind and the airship take them to wherever it might lead.
"You okay?" Alex asked him with a worried look on his face, Louis responded with a higher pitched voice than normal.
"This was supposed to be fun....."
Alex was confused, but it was Sabina who gave Alex the answer he was looking for, she had a much more deeper voice than her sisters, and also a more imposing figure. Triplets they may be, but they were not identical, neither in looks or in body shape.
"he's afraid of heights. You're..."
""" Amusing!""" all three sisters completed the sentence at once.
To be honest it was somewhat amusing, Louis was somewhat the loud mouth, talker of the group, and the way he said things at times made it seem as if he could do anything and defeat anyone, but here he was with a very obvious fear of heights and he was the one who initiated the idea of them sneaking into the hanger and hijacking an Airship that doesn't belong to them or would ever belong to them, neither would they ever have gotten a chance to get close to it.
"Do you need me to drive instead? If you can't handle it we can go back down or you can switch with someone else." Yun Fao said to him Ashe leaned forward.
"Don't worry about it guys, I've got this no problem, I just need to catch my breath a bit." Yun Fao nodded his head and sat back as they all devolved into a comfortable silence, just enjoying the flight, and letting the airship take them wherever fate determines their destination to lay.
And that was how it was for the next three hours until it slowly began to dawn on them the severity of what they just did. Not only did they leave the sect without Permission, they had stolen the airship of an important figure in the sect, an airship they had no idea how to drive, and event worse had no idea how to navigate. This was something typical teenagers would do, and the boys were supposed to be smarter than normal, however it seems no matter what boys will be boys and in this case they've gone and done something they couldn't undo, there's bound to be punishment for this venture of them.
And then the Airship began to sputter, obviously having ran out of fuel, whatever but was it seemed to run on. The airship began making jerking motions, and it took all of Louis's concentration to be able to land it on the ground. They were a few miles away from a city that was still brightly lit up even though it was the middle of the night. Louis spent a good amount of time emptying the contents in his stomach, before he raised his head up.
"You've screwed us over French man, now where the fuck are we!" Yun Fao's voice echoed out into the night.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
