It's a beautiful day, the ship is flying through a nice lofty gust under the clear blue sky, the systems are running smoothly, and all the crew members are going about their days as they have always thought it being on a giant flying airship.... Other than Corry, they really haven't thought about it at all-

  Corry sits in the control bay, watching the world pass by outside. He smiles as he sits in the chair, leaning back and sighing in content.

  "I love this... This is as amazing as I thought it would be!! We can go anywhere we want in this thing, and it's so leisurely to just watch it all in this comfy little spot... I could almost fall right asleep in this spot!" Corry says.

  He closes his eyes for a bit before opening them and thinking out loud again.

  "I wonder how Nond and Chris are adapting to this... I'm sure Nond is doing fine, but I really hope Chris is getting along well, he seemed really disappointed when he found out we weren't searching for his guys..." He says in a soft tone.

  Meanwhile with Nond, he was sitting in the b working on some technology, he adjusts his gsses as he tampers with a small mechanical gun.

  "Corry didn't really stock this thing with a lot of supplies... Gosh, I really want to stop somewhere to get some metal or something. I can make my own parts for the most of it, but I can't do that if I don't even have the material for it..." Nond says disappointingly.

  He sets the device down and lets his arms dangle off the sides of his chair, sighing loudly.

  "This is kind of boring if I can't even make my own technology right now... I guess I should go tell Corry my predicament, he'll listen to me, and I'm sure he'll find somewhere close where we can get some supplies." Nond states.

  He gets up and stretches before walking out of the boratory and towards the elevator to the control bay.

  Chris was ying against a wall in the cargo bay, he was still somewhat butt hurt that Corey and Nond weren't listening to him.

  "Damn... What the hell is their problem? Don't they realize how big the possibilities are in this ship?? This aircraft was literally one of their own weapons..." Chris hisses under his breath.

  He pulls out the evidence photos again and looks through them. One of the photos was of a rge group of airships lined up next to each other, they looked like the ship that he was on right now, but they were a lot bigger.

  "They're pnning something, these ships look like they're a lot better than this one... which means they must be upgrading. They're pnning another attack, we can't let that happen!!" Chris shouts to himself, his voice echoing through the cargo bay before spping his hands to his face.

  "Ah, who am I kidding... The other two will never comply, even if they saw it for themselves..." Chris says dejectedly.

  Back to the control bay, Corry is still rexing in the pilot's chair before the elevator door opens at the back of the room, Nond coming out. Corry hears the sound and turns around, smiling.

  "Yo Nond!! How are you enjoying yourself? You having fun??" Corry asks happily.

  Nond chuckles lightly before saying "Yeah... but I will admit, I'm getting kind of bored. You didn't think to stock up on supplies before taking off?"

  The two just lock eyes with each other before Corry's eyes drift to the left.

  "......No-" He mumbles nervously.

  Nond facepalms and scratches his head.

  "Come on Corry, can you find a good pce to stop and get materials? Maybe a pce that isn't in use anymore?" Nond asks.

  Corry starts to think for a bit.

  "Hmmm.... A pce that isn't in use anymore.... Ok, I'm sure I can find something like that!! Maybe a warehouse or something, there's tons of old warehouses left over from the Chaos War that the enemy set up, I'm sure we can find a lot of materials there!!" Corry chimes.

  Nond smiles and nods.

  "So where's the closest pce?" He asks.

  Corry turns back around and goes to his computer, scanning the surrounding area, it pings for a little bit before beeping.

  "Aha, we can get to one in about 30 minutes time, easy as that!!" Corry excims.

  Nond chuckles and is about to speak up again before the elevator door opens again. The person who walks out is none other than Christopher, he was holding a sword.

  "Chris- is that a sword? Where did you get that-!?" Nond shouts in a surprised tone.

  "Ohhhhhh, hey, you found my sword!! Yeah, I kept it in the cargo bay since I didn't really think I would need it!" Corry says.

  Chris smirks and tosses the bde to Corry, who catches it.

  "So what you're saying is, you've been training with a sword." Chris says smugly.

  Corry tilts his head curiously at Chris.

  "Ummm.... Yeah, why?" Corry asks, seemingly confused.

  "Spar with me." Chris says out of the blue.

  Nond looks taken aback while Corry looks only slightly surprised.

  "Y-You want to spar with him-!? We haven't even been on the ship this long and you want to fight someone-!?" Nond shouts out, unamused by Chris's proposal.

  Once the wave of surprise passes over, Corry smiles and responds.

  "You know what? Fine, we'll spar!!"

  "Good, I was about to say you better at least let me train on this hunk of metal!!" Chris shouts.

  "Let me show you to the training room!!" Corry says, running to the elevator, to which Chris follows.

  "Come on... Y-You guys aren't really gonna fight, right-!?" Nond says disapprovingly.

  "It's a friendly match!! And besides, we can use this to pass the time before we arrive at the warehouse!!" Corry says.

  Nond tries to object, but is at a loss for words, so he just crosses his arms and follows them into the elevator, going down. When the elevator arrives at the ground level of the ship, Corry leads the two of them through the halls before showing up in a big room with training dummies, this was clearly a workout room. Chris walks to the other side of the room, taking off his jacket.

  "You better not hold back, because I won't hold back for you Corry." Chris states, grinning.

  "I never intended on it, let's have us a good fair fight!" Corry replies.

  Nond, without anything else to do or say, just sighs.

  "Guess I'll be the referee..." He says, walking to the side.

  "Start the battle in three..." Nond begins.

  Chris gets into a battle stance, spreading his feet.

  "Two..."

  Corry unsheathes his bde and gets into a ready stance.

  "One!"

  Chris dashes out towards Corry, running across the room swiftly before throwing a punch at Corry's head. Corry swiftly ducks under the oncoming attack and jumps back up, headbutting Chris's chin. Chris grunts as he staggers backward from Corry's headbutt before throwing his leg out, kicking Corry in the gut. Corry skids backwards, rubbing his gut.

  "Wow... That actually really hurt!!" Corry states excitedly.

  Chris chuckles, rubbing his chin.

  "Don't think you were the only one training over the years." He replies.

  Corry resumes the battle by jumping up into the air and sshing his bde down towards Chris. Chris catches the bde in his hands, accidently nicking his hands on it, a bit of blood running down.

  "Ack-!! That's gonna hurt a bit-!" Chris yelps.

  Corry gasps as Chris starts to spin him around by the sword before unching him at the wall. Corry flips through the air before nding on his feet and pushing himself off the wall towards Chris. Chris smirks and runs at Corry, clenching his fist and reeling it back. Corry smiles, right when he's about to hit Chris, he spins to the side, skidding onto the floor. He jams his sword into the floor to spin around and jam his leg into Chris's spine, knocking him ft on his face.

  "Ah, I gotcha on the floor!! See? I can fight!!" Corry chuckles.

  Chris climbs back to his feet, brushing his pants off.

  "Oh don't worry, that won't happen again!! When it happens next time, it'll be me to you, heh!" Chris remarks.

  "Let's see for ourselves then!!!" Corry shouts, dashing at Chris.

  Chris responds in kind and runs at Corry as well, reeling his fist back again. As soon as their attacks are about to csh... Nond runs in between them.

  "Stop the fi-!!" He begins, before getting punched on one side and headbutted on the other, toppling to the floor.

  "NOLAND, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING, ASSHAT-!?" Chris shouts angrily.

  Corry gasps and runs to his side.

  "Oh shoot, are you ok-!? I didn't mean to hit you-!! What did you want to tell us-???" Corry says worriedly.

  "I just wanted to tell you that we're pulling up on our location... That warehouse thing..." Nond groans.

  Corry smiles brightly and turns to Chris.

  "Alright, our first adventure!! We'll get some materials so that we can start making some cool technology!! Let's put this fight on hold for now, ok Chris?" Corry says.

  Chris grunts and crosses his arms, walking back over to his jacket.

  "Hmph... Whatever..." He mumbles.

  Corry jumps excitedly and leaves the room, Chris tailing behind him with a cold gre. Nond pulls himself up off of the ground and follows from far behind, holding a hand up to one of his cheeks. The three boys walk to the entryway and stand there before they feel the ship nd and the entryway opens. Outside was an old and derelict warehouse that looked like it hadn't been used in centuries.

  "...Really? That's the dump you guys wanted to go to?" Chris asks.

  "Yeah, Corry told me that a lot of these supposedly sprouted up during the Chaos War and they haven't been used since, so we came to get some raw metal materials." Nond expins.

  "Fine, let's just make this quick..." Chris grumbles.

  Corry runs towards the warehouse, filled to the brim with a limitless excitement that would shatter any introvert to pieces, while Nond and Chris tail behind him at their own pace. When they all eventually get to the warehouse, Corry opens the door and walks in, the others following behind him. It was dark, and it smelled awfully rancid in the main room.

  "Sheesh... What's that smell?" Chris asks in a disgusted tone.

  "Hmm... Is there a switch around here somewhere?" Corry asks, feeling around the wall before getting something.

  "Ah, here we are!" Corry excims as he flips the switch. The lights power on, but the sight ahead catches all three of them off guard... There were old rusty robots surrounded by mounds of skeletons and rotting corpses.

  "What... the hell... happened here-!?" Chris asks...
